[12:01] <andreasdohl> tried a external mice/keyboard dosage?
[12:01] <andreasdohl> have you dualbooted to win etc?
[12:01] <andreasdohl> if you have win that is
[12:01] <dosage> havent gone that far yet
[12:02] <andreasdohl> or, is the keyboard working in bios?
[12:02] <dosage> this is a 100% ubuntu laptop
[12:02] <dosage> so no dual boot
[12:02] <andreasdohl> ok, works navigatin in bios?
[12:02] <seodavi1> I have been having a few problems, main one being that webmin will not allow connections to people outside the lan, when i first installed it till it did a reboot it worked tho
[12:02] <ubuntuEdgy> can any one help with firestarter , it wont start after the os has loaded
[12:02] <lunahood> hallo leute, wie heisst nochmal der in feisty verwendete standard window-manager ? wrde da gerne eine einstellung ndern brauch nen begriff zum googlen
[12:02] <andreasdohl> ubuntuEdgy: what do you mean wont start
[12:03] <seodavi1> and nobody, even over the lan can connect to my sql/ of ftp server
[12:03] <lunahood> ups, sry ^
[12:03] <kitche> ubuntuEdgy: you have to add firestarter to your auto-start list since it's just a gui for iptables which runs anyways on boot
[12:03] <humpinH> hi, i upgraded my windows from xp to vista, and my grub got pretty much screwed.  what are my options?
[12:03] <uberushaximus> !grub
[12:03] <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
[12:03] <jimqode_> hello! I need help with changing to font used in xdosemu to one that supports turkish
[12:03] <andreasdohl> humpinH: reinstall grub
[12:03] <dosage> Alrighty, so when the next crash happens, the most likely log to contain info would be the messages log?
[12:04] <jimqode_> hello! I need help with changing the font used in xdosemu to one that supports turkish
[12:04] <andreasdohl> run the install again and choose reinstall bootloader
[12:04] <mtappenden> Hi all
[12:04] <andreasdohl> dosage: yes it should... then try and google the error...
[12:04] <mtappenden> How can I use BitTorrent if it's banned on my school network?
[12:05] <ubuntuEdgy> kitche: i have add it to start at boot
[12:05] <dosage> assuming there is an error =(
[12:05] <andreasdohl> mtappenden: you cant
[12:05] <Paranoiak> hack the firewall
[12:05] <Paranoiak> :D
[12:05] <dosage> scanning the log now doesnt show anything alarming, but again I am a newbi
[12:05] <mtappenden> andreasdohl: No way of using some kind of proxy or tunnel lor smething?
[12:05] <ubuntuEdgy> kitche:it seems to be a common thing, i found lots of posts about the same thing on google
[12:05] <andreasdohl> mtappenden: nah, not in a big network as your school...
[12:05] <seodavi1> mtappenden: just leave the downloads running on your home pc?
[12:06] <mtappenden> andreasdohl: It's not a big network really, it's a very small private school, they don't have a very mainstream network
[12:06] <andreasdohl> i mean, if you have the skills for bypassing the network be my guest, but most schools have packet sniffers that record things like that...
[12:06] <andreasdohl> hm... what kind of network are we talking about?
[12:06] <mtappenden> seodavi1: i don't hve a home PC, only a laptop, and I'm at school like 80% of the time
[12:06] <andreasdohl> servers? users?
[12:07] <gerro> wietz0r: thx for all the help, I'm just kind of frustrated and having a bad day. Got the problem fixed though
[12:07] <mike3_> Hacker alert
[12:07] <mike3_> Just use a proxy via web
[12:07] <andreasdohl> mike3_: for bittorrent?
[12:07] <wietz0r> gerro: No problem
[12:07] <mike3_> Oh geez. Do you want to be arressted?
[12:07] <jimqode_> did anyone succeed in changing xdosemu font?
[12:07] <andreasdohl> last time i checked bittorrent didnt use port 80...
[12:07] <andreasdohl> arrested for what?
[12:07] <andreasdohl> talking about security?
[12:07] <mike3_> andreasdohl, what are you wanting to download
[12:08] <mike3_> you can tell your client to use port 80
[12:08] <hays> Is Ubuntu Lite still alive?
[12:08] <gerro> mik3_: no but you can handcuff me to the bed anytime cutie :P
[12:08] <mike3_> but you won't be sharing
[12:08] <Zack> Hey! Would anyone know what plug-in i need to access higher-end websites? Ex: scion.com
[12:08] <mike3_> gerro, Fantastic!
[12:08] <andreasdohl> mike3_ no you cant use port 80...
[12:08] <aburns> Why does order # 2359724 say it shipped, but no tracking #. Customer waiting ticket # 1355674
[12:08] <mike3_> andreasdohl, I know you can change ports on clients, so why not try port 80?
[12:08] <Zack> With Firefox.
[12:08] <gerro> hays: what is ubuntu lite? I heard of fluxbuntu which is kind of lite
[12:09] <andreasdohl> because its the http port
[12:09] <someone2005> Whats the best way to install a bin file on ubuntu ?
[12:09] <hays> fluxbuntu?  heh is there fvwm2buntu?
[12:09] <andreasdohl> and any traficc thats not http does not get thorugh
[12:09] <andreasdohl> through
[12:09] <mike3_> andreasdohl, so
[12:09] <cafuego> andreasdohl: since when?
[12:09] <andreasdohl> traffic... damn its late
[12:09] <Zack> Hello.........
[12:09] <hays> e.g., ubuntfvwm2
[12:09] <cafuego> Zack: adobe flash
[12:09] <andreasdohl> well, theoretically, nothing but htp will get through...
[12:09] <andreasdohl> http
[12:09] <andreasdohl> ffs
[12:09] <Zack> cafuego: i have downloaded adobe flash
[12:10] <mike3_> andreasdohl, well if they have something monitoring the packets then you're screwed.
[12:10] <cafuego> andreasdohl: ant traffic will go over port 80 as long as it's not filtered by your isp
[12:10] <andreasdohl> mike3_ read up, im not the one wnating to use bittorrent
[12:10] <Zack> cafuego: or at least the version that YouTube uses... any other specific versions needed?
[12:10] <andreasdohl> im not even in school
[12:10] <mike3_> cafuego, Not ture if he has a smart enough firewall/proxy handling it
[12:10] <cafuego> andreasdohl: the only trick is that it's a port udner 1024, so you need to be root locally to listen on 80.
[12:10] <mike3_> andreasdohl, man i've used port 80
[12:11] <andreasdohl> but thats cool for you mike3_ if you can use port 80 for bittorrent thats good for you
[12:11] <mike3_> cafuego, he'd at least get traffic out , but won't be able to host
[12:11] <angel_> my mp3 to my ipod using gtkpod?
[12:11] <mtappenden> I set my client to use port 80 and it does nothing still
[12:11] <mike3_> andreasdohl, go lick something
[12:11] <gerro> wietz0r: uggh its still not working... but I got rid of some of the buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block messages now lot of sr0 ones and 2 fd0s
[12:11] <cafuego> mike3_: if he runs torrent as root he will
[12:11] <gerro> wietz0r: I tried disabling floppy in bios
[12:11] <andreasdohl> mike3_: thats so mature
[12:11] <mike3_> cafuego, unless the firewall policy disables it
[12:11] <someone2005> a boot disc for the bin file ?
[12:11] <mike3_> andreasdohl, and I care.
[12:11] <wietz0r> gerro: can't you rip the flopy out ?
[12:12] <cafuego> mike3_: in which case, switch ISPs
[12:12] <DigitalHighway> help
[12:12] <nitzan> Im new to Ubuntu and would like 2 ave some help
[12:12] <DigitalHighway> help
[12:12] <kitche> !ask
[12:12] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:12] <mike3_> cafuego, yes but this is his school 's firewalls..
[12:12] <DigitalHighway> ok
[12:12] <hays> Is Fluxbuntu the "lightest" ubuntu?
[12:12] <cafuego> mike3_: ah, ouch
[12:12] <nitzan> its to eard to follow
[12:12] <gerro> wietz0r: there is *no* floppy, the thing is the cdrom can be taken out and switched with a floppy anytime I think its hot swappable too perhaps, so the kernel is trying to detect an imaginary floppy drive and getting that confused with the cd its booting off of
[12:12] <mtappenden> School uses ISA Server 2000 as a firewall
[12:12] <kitche> hays: well fluxbuntu is not an official ubuntu project
[12:12] <DigitalHighway> I am trying to install ubuntu 6.06 on my Dell 6000 laptop computer
[12:12] <wietz0r> gerro: Do you have a floppy disk ?
[12:12] <someone2005> I did I get no answers...2007
[12:13] <mike3_> damn computer won't come up via alarm
[12:13] <mike3_> bb
[12:13] <seodavid> I need some help with getting Webmin to work externally, and set up a vnc server on this box... anyone able 2 help?
[12:13] <angel_> how can i copy my mp3 to my ipod using gtkpod?
[12:13] <rvb> hays: I'm guessing the lightest ubuntu would be to install as server
[12:13] <DigitalHighway> to my understanding you can only have four "total" partitions
[12:13] <gerro> hays: fluxbuntu looks awweeesome, can't wait until I can try it on my new system :)
[12:13] <hays> rvb: lightest ubuntu with X
[12:13] <wietz0r> gerro: apt-get install fluxbox, done
[12:13] <kitche> DigitalHighway: well four primary partitions
[12:13] <wietz0r> also gerro if you have a floppy drive, just install it using floppys
[12:13] <gravemind> how do I mount an external hard drive with write permissions?
[12:13] <andreasdohl> why bother worrying about proxys and firewalls when you can just ask mike3_ to show you how to use port 80 as a bittorrent port
[12:13] <gerro> wietz0r: that isn't fluxbuntu it uses rox and few other things
[12:14] <hays> rvb: I'm looking for something I can virtualize without dedicating too much resources to for basic development purposes
[12:14] <kitche> TaJMoX: is there a reason why you ctcp me?
[12:14] <gerro> wietz0r: but i will have same problem as the cd
[12:14] <wietz0r> gerro: apt-get install fluxbox, rox, etcetera"
[12:14] <gravemind> I tried sudo mount -rw /dev/sdb1 /media/LaCie/
[12:14] <DigitalHighway> but my dell has three partitions already
[12:14] <wietz0r> gerro: O :(
[12:14] <Matic`Makovec> Is there a way to run windows .NET executables? :x
[12:14] <hays> rvb: and preferably out of the box so I don't have to waste too much time with it
[12:14] <DigitalHighway> I can not create a swap and /root partitions
[12:14] <Matic`Makovec> I know I need some kind of Mono but I'm not really familiar with setting this up
[12:14] <TaJMoX> kitche i was wondering what client you were using
[12:14] <magnetron> TaJMoX: offtopic
[12:14] <seodavid> I need some help with getting Webmin to work externally, and set up a vnc server on this box... anyone able 2 help?
[12:14] <gerro> tell wietz0r: I think the problem might be that this is a dvd/cdrw drive and not for normal cds so can't boot off of it
[12:14] <Zack> Would anyone know what i need to access scion.com on Firefox?
[12:15] <DigitalHighway> that would be 5 partitions total?
[12:15] <rvb> hays: I'm not an expert but fluxbox is pretty light so fluxbuntu should suit you just fine.
[12:15] <kitche> magnetron: he was anwsering my question to him
[12:15] <macd> Zack, flash.
[12:15] <hays> rvb: xfce.. is that lighter you think?
[12:15] <rvb> hays: nope
[12:15] <hays> rvb: I've not spent much time with fluxbox
[12:15] <Zack> macd: I know, this is weird i have all updated Java and Adobe but it just doesnt work.
[12:16] <unagi> can anyone tell me how to customize or download customized taskbars for ubuntu
[12:16] <DigitalHighway> does anyone own a dell inspiron 6000 laptop
[12:16] <unagi> and mouse pointers?
[12:16] <seodavid> is anyone able to help me?
[12:16] <rvb> hays: xfce is a desktop environment, fluxbox is a window manager
[12:16] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - dell 6400 / e1505 here ...
[12:16] <TaJMoX> inspiron
[12:16] <DigitalHighway> Tajmox have you tried to install linux on your computer
[12:16] <macd> Zack, if you goto http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
[12:16] <Paranoiak> il existe un package pour arreter de fumer?
[12:17] <Paranoiak> oups
[12:17] <macd> Zack, do you get the flash plugin is installed there?
[12:17] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - ubuntu works perfectly for me - but in feisty the video driver on the cd didnt work and i had to install it manually to get the live cd to boot
[12:17] <seodavid> :(
[12:17] <Zack> macd: yes
[12:17] <macd> Zack, what error, if any do you get on scion.com
[12:18] <Zack> it will not finish its load macd
[12:18] <DigitalHighway> I have currently have three partitions, if i add a root and swap partitions that you make 5 partitions which does not work
[12:18] <jimqode_> seodavid, doesn't webmin accept connections from outside by default?
[12:18] <rvb> I connected an external usb harddrive to my computer, next time I started it Ubuntu wouldn't start, now I can only access the windows partition (after doing fixmbr to get rid of grub). I've tried reinstalling Ubuntu but that doesn't work, now I tried Debian which won't install either. I've written a thread on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2906074 about it which has more info and...
[12:18] <rvb> ...would appreciate if someone could take the time to check it out. Thanks.
[12:18] <macd> yeah, it wont get past 80% here either, its the website, not you.
[12:18] <DigitalHighway> did you run into trouble with partitions Taj
[12:18] <Zack> macd: my windows computer loads it just fine
[12:18] <macd> Mine doesnt
[12:19] <seodavid> jimqode:it stopped working
[12:19] <seodavid> poss to do with ports
[12:19] <seodavid> and no not running firestarter etc
[12:19] <Zack> macd: :-/ how does that work?
[12:19] <macd> Zack, it works fine for both my machines now
[12:20] <DigitalHighway> how do you install ubuntu on a dell inspirion 6000 that starts out with three partitions
[12:20] <macd> If you still have problems, clear your private data and try again, I suspect the site is flakey at the moment
[12:20] <jimqode_> seodavid, login to webmin from localhost. go to webmin/webmin configuration/ip access control
[12:20] <Zack> macd:.......80%
[12:20] <Zack> 80%
[12:21] <macd> Zack, well its not bad flash, and its not firefox, thats fairly obvious.
[12:21] <macd> Zack, so......its not really an ubuntu issue
[12:21] <fejker> can anybody help me with this: fejker@fejker-laptop:~$ sudo modprobe speedstep-centrino FATAL: Error inserting speedstep_centrino (/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/speedstep-centrino.ko): Device or resource busy
[12:21] <Zack> macd: soooo what is it?
[12:21] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - choose manual when the installer gets to disks then you can choose / as the mountpoint on the free space you want to use
[12:21] <macd> Zack, <macd> If you still have problems, clear your private data and try again, I suspect the site is flakey at the moment
[12:21] <Cain> does beryl work with enlightenment?
[12:21] <fejker> I'm trying to make CPU scaling work on my C2D T5500
[12:22] <Zack> ook
[12:22] <macd> Cain, ask in #enlightenment
[12:22] <kitche> Cain: no since they both are window managers'
[12:22] <DigitalHighway> what about the swap partition TAJ
[12:22] <Cain> so i have to use gnome if i want beryl
[12:22] <Cain> that sucks
[12:23] <Zack> macd: its just odd it works on my IE but not firefox
[12:23] <DigitalHighway> the root and swap partitions both need to be there right?
[12:23] <ataylor> hi I just did sudo apt-get kde and sudo apt-get kubuntu-default-settings
[12:23] <kitche> Cain: or xfce or kde
[12:23] <ataylor> but when I load kde the panel does not load
[12:23] <ataylor> just an empty bar at the bottom
[12:23] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - use gparted to make a 512mb or 1gb partition and format it as Linux Swap
[12:23] <ataylor> how can I rectify this?
[12:23] <kitche> Cain: Compiz Fusion might work by itself haven't checked it out really
[12:23] <Cain> enlightenment + beryl god that would be sweet
[12:23] <macd> Cain, on many other choices. But I suspect you really mean compiz not beryl.
[12:23] <Zack> oh well
[12:23] <Cain> yea compiz
[12:23] <DigitalHighway> TAJ
[12:23] <snwiem> hi guys...can anyone givem me a hint how to join #rythmbox at irc.gnome.org with xchat ?
[12:23] <macd> Compiz will work with most window managers
[12:24] <DigitalHighway> TAJ: I did that...which makes 4 partitions ....but I need to add the root partition which makes it 5...
[12:24] <Cain> im using intell i810 driver
[12:24] <Cain> but i cant find any hep file for i810
[12:24] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - ok then you will need an extended partition - which is a container for up to 6 more partitions
[12:24] <ataylor> anyone?
[12:25] <DigitalHighway> ok, how do I do that?
[12:25] <snwiem> forget about it :)
[12:25] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - so you can have 3 primary partitions - then make a extended partition - and you can keep the rest of the partitions in that
[12:25] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - gparted will do that for you if you have 3 or less partitions you can make an extended partition
[12:25] <gravemind> I have a problem with a hard drive that I can't get to mount as read write
[12:25] <macd> Cain, according to the compiz wiki, intel i810 works, in fact theyh ave instructions there on howto:
[12:25] <gravemind> how do I do that?
[12:25] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - extended partition is a container so that you can have more than 4 partitions on one drive
[12:26] <DigitalHighway> do you have instuctions on how to do that
[12:26] <DigitalHighway> this is all new to me
[12:26] <DigitalHighway> website?
[12:26] <TaJMoX> digitalhighway - gparted is pretty intuitive - just right click on unused space and make new partition - tell it to be extended instead of primary
[12:26] <neil_> hi all.. how can i check what nvidia driver i have installed??
[12:27] <TaJMoX> neil_ glxinfo
[12:27] <Zyxus> neil_:run  nvidia-settings
[12:28] <DigitalHighway> can I delete partitions I have already created?
[12:28] <DigitalHighway> and start new without doing a clean install of windows xp
[12:28] <neil_> hmm I have 87.76, but beryl still gives no GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
[12:28] <neil_> surely thats new enough..
[12:30] <wastedfluid> Anyone have any kind of FAQ page about hibernating in Ubuntu 7.10?  or some kind of alternate hibernation methods? I can't find any.
[12:30] <DigitalHighway> how do you delete partitions in qparted
[12:30] <bur[n] er> wastedfluid: 7.10?  gutsy?  #ubuntu+1
[12:31] <wastedfluid> 7.10.
[12:31] <wastedfluid> er, not 7.10
[12:31] <wastedfluid> Shit.  I've been through a few distros.  fiesty.
[12:31] <Music_Shuffle> 7.04*?
[12:31] <wastedfluid> Hibernate goes crazy on my acer 5100.
[12:31] <Music_Shuffle> lol
[12:31] <bur[n] er> hibernate "just works" here
[12:31] <wastedfluid> yea, 7.04.. lol, sorry.
[12:31] <wastedfluid> Hibernate works the first time you hibernate it
[12:31] <bur[n] er> not "pretty" but it works
[12:31] <DigitalHighway> can you delete partitions in gparted?
[12:31] <wastedfluid> after that, it goes crazy.  my power button goes off, but the laptop stays on..
[12:32] <wastedfluid> DigitalHighway; yes.
[12:32] <DigitalHighway> and create new ones
[12:32] <wastedfluid> but, anyway, bur[n] er , hibernate goes crazy.. it just turns everything off, doesn't go to "sleeP" i guess.. but monitor stays on, and after a few minutes, te login box pops up.. but the keyboard is disabled
[12:32] <bur[n] er> wastedfluid: try the wiki or the forums?  or googling your specific laptop model?
[12:32] <Grenade> im trying to get ntp to load on boot but i don't know how to use the rc.d stuff i tried using sysc-rc-conf but ntp isn't listed in along with the rest of the progs that load on boot.
[12:33] <wastedfluid> bur[n] er; tried both. >:|
[12:33] <wastedfluid> not wiki, but the forums, and googling my laptopmodel.
[12:33] <Zyxus> DigitalHighway: cfdisk might be easier to use for newbie
[12:33] <bur[n] er> wiki might have info if other people have your model and can at least confirm it doesn't work :)
[12:34] <bur[n] er> it also just works on my compaq laptop
[12:34] <wastedfluid> well, it works, the FIRST time you hibernate
[12:34] <yokomo> is there an easy to use spectrometer program in linux?
[12:34] <wastedfluid> after you wake it, and try agian.. it goes bezerk.
[12:35] <bur[n] er> wastedfluid: i'm pretty sure I hibernate it all the time
[12:35] <mike3_> hi..
[12:35] <mike3_> holy fantastic
[12:35] <absolutemstr> hey
[12:35] <absolutemstr> got a question about var/www how do i access it

[12:36] <ParanoyaM> can anybody tell me how to start swat?
[12:37] <wietz0r> ParanoyaM: /etc/init.d/swat start
[12:37] <wietz0r> I guess if it's a service
[12:37] <absolutemstr> i need help with put files in /var/www but cant access it
[12:37] <wastedfluid> wow.
[12:37] <aaanone> alright, my sound was working just fine and then I installed kdesktop and even after uninstalling it my sound will not work at all under GNOME...it is very frustrating

[12:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about proftpd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:38] <absolutemstr> anyone here an apache expert?
[12:38] <bur[n] er> Aviel: in any event, it's on the wiki..  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ProFTPD
[12:39] <ParanoyaM> weitz0r, sudo: /etc/init.d/swat: command not found - i recieved this
[12:39] <intangir> absolutemstr: i am ;)
[12:39] <Aviel> ok
[12:39] <preaction> absolutemstr: the people in #apache are, but your problem is more than /var/www isn't writable by your user. you either need to change the owner of /var/www or you need to do things as root (BAD IDEA)
[12:39] <Aviel> i go in to wiki
[12:39] <Aviel> yay
[12:39] <Aviel> thx for guide
[12:39] <Aviel> :))))
[12:39] <wietz0r> ParanoyaM: type "which swat"
[12:39] <dandrews> has anyone ever had any issues with F-Spot crapping out when importing images, giving an 'out of memory' error?  This only happens with images I exported from Aperture on my Mac (in JPEG format)
[12:40] <wastedfluid> bur[n] er;
[12:40] <wastedfluid> I tried -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2875529 , and it worked.
[12:40] <wastedfluid> s2disk, and s2ram work.. just had to replace the suspend script, and hibernate script.
[12:40] <ParanoyaM> weitz0r, /usr/sbin/swat
[12:41] <wietz0r> ParanoyaM: have you tried running it ?
[12:41] <wietz0r> sudo swat ?
[12:41] <ParanoyaM> no
[12:41] <ParanoyaM> yes sudo swat
[12:41] <wietz0r> that would probably start it
[12:41] <intangir> you dont run swat from the command line
[12:41] <ParanoyaM> sudo /usr/svin/swat start?
[12:41] <intangir> and i believe swat is run from inetd
[12:41] <intangir> so you dont start it
[12:41] <intangir> you just goto port 901 or something like that
[12:41] <intangir> localhost:901
[12:42] <ParanoyaM> i tried
[12:42] <ParanoyaM> page not found
[12:42] <intangir> do you have inetd loaded?
[12:42] <ParanoyaM> i really new in linux, so i don't understand what do you mean buy saiyn inetd loaded
[12:43] <intangir> check /etc/inetd.conf
[12:43] <intangir> make sure there is a line in there for swat, and that its not #commented out
[12:43] <rgl> hello.
[12:43] <intangir> it SHOULD be in there if you installed swat
[12:44] <ParanoyaM> intangir, :swat		stream	tcp	nowait.400	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd	/usr/sbin/swat
[12:44] <ParanoyaM> i head this string there
[12:44] <rgl> I'm a bit stumbled with this.  I've installed ubuntu into the HD, but when it restarts, the PC just seems to hang at boot without showing the grub prompt.  any ideia why?
[12:44] <ParanoyaM> had
[12:44] <kel39ru> hey, guys, is swap a must?
[12:44] <TaJMoX> not really
[12:44] <tarzeau> kel39ru: no
[12:44] <ParanoyaM> no it is not!
[12:44] <intangir> ParanoyaM: well hrm it should work then, type this: cat /etc/services | grep swat
[12:44] <TaJMoX> kel39ru using all your ram up is rare unless you're doing advanced stuff
[12:44] <tarzeau> intangir: can just do grep swat /etc/services
[12:45] <tarzeau> TaJMoX: really depends on the amount of ram
[12:45] <kel39ru> oke, its nice then, cuz it's kinda difficult to fit something on 171mb hd ;)
[12:45] <Music_Shuffle> TaJMoX, ...might want to ask him how much RAM he has first before you say that :P
[12:45] <ParanoyaM> intagir, swat            901/tcp                         # swat
[12:45] <intangir> well thats weird, looks like everything is there
[12:46] <intangir> ParanoyaM: try this: sudo /etc/init.d/inetd restart
[12:46] <kel39ru> i wold like to have some swap, cuz it also have only 32mb ram, but.. heh -.-
[12:46] <ParanoyaM> firefox cannot establish connection with localhost:901
[12:46] <Cain> sudo update-alternatives config Xorg update-alternatives: unknown argument `config'
[12:46] <Music_Shuffle> kel39ru, how much RAM do you have?
[12:46] <Cain> whats the problem?
[12:47] <ParanoyaM> intagir, sudo: /etc/init.d/inetd: command not found
[12:47] <kel39ru> Music_Shuffle: read above ;)
[12:47] <rgl> I've installed ubuntu, but when it tries to boot from HD nothing happens... can you guys help me out troubleshoot this?
[12:47] <Music_Shuffle> kel39ru, 32 mb?  >.>
[12:47] <intangir> ParanoyaM: aha!
[12:47] <Zyxus> rgl: did you install boot mgr like grub
[12:48] <kel39ru> actually, there are 6 x 8mb things inside, but i dunno why, but a the prompt i got only 32..
[12:48] <rgl> Zyxus, the normal install did install grub.  but nothing happears, no prompt at all :|
[12:48] <ParanoyaM> intangir, so what i should do?
[12:48] <Music_Shuffle> kel39ru, what exactly are you installing...on?
[12:48] <mx-zoom> 32ram?? my portable gps has got 128mb :P
[12:48] <intangir> ParanoyaM: check my private messages
[12:49] <Zyxus> rgl: did you set hd boot priority in BIOS
[12:49] <rgl> Zyxus, yes, I did.
[12:49] <Music_Shuffle> Cain, did you...check with the tab command to see if what you tried was...'legal'?
[12:49] <slonbg> hi, when listing partitions with fdisk, what means the plus (+) sign after the Blocks column? i.e. some partitions have + after their size in blocks, and others do not.
[12:49] <Zyxus> rdl do you have dual boot on this hd
[12:49] <intangir> bah, i didnt log in so you cant see my queries
[12:50] <intangir> ParanoyaM: first make a backup copy of your inetd.conf
[12:50] <lbs> is there a way to run a Windows program on ubuntu?
[12:50] <kel39ru> truing to do HD install of DSL (not frugal) on an: cpu - 120mhz, 32mb ram, 171mb hd, 512 or somthing like that kilobyte gpu.. -.-
[12:50] <ParanoyaM> i don't see an private messages
[12:50] <rgl> Zyxus, nope.  I've got this: http://pastie.caboo.se/73405
[12:50] <intangir> ParanoyaM: apparently swat didnt depend on inetd, even though it needs it, so it didnt add to the config, since it didnt exist yet
[12:50] <Music_Shuffle> Err....DSL != Ubuntu :P
[12:50] <slonbg> lbs: sometimes. what program you want to run?
[12:50] <rbs-tito> !wine | lbs
[12:50] <ubotu> lbs: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[12:50] <intangir> ParanoyaM: type this: sudo cp /etc/inetd.conf inetd.conf.b4
[12:50] <ParanoyaM> intagir, how i should create it
[12:51] <ParanoyaM> ok
[12:51] <rgl> Zyxus, I'm using a /boot partition on the first HD.  then, I'm using LVM on the two HD.
[12:51] <intangir> ParanoyaM: sudo apt-get install openbsd-inetd
[12:51] <__mikem> Can someone help me. Everytime I boot my system 20 times and it does the forced file system check, fsck hangs and I have to use the install cd to boot into a rescue shell. Can someone help me remidy this
[12:51] <lbs> slonbg: it's a program called CoastalNet
[12:51] <Music_Shuffle> __mikem, how long does it hang for?
[12:51] <kel39ru> sry man, but this (Ubuntu) is what i run on my normal desctop, i like it, and i dont think i can find a better channel then thisone, for linux discussion ;)
[12:51] <ParanoyaM> intagir it is ok now
[12:52] <Zyxus> rgl: LVM boot disk is problematic... never messed with LVM on boot
[12:52] <__mikem> Music_Shuffle, It hangs for ever.
[12:52] <TaJMoX> kel39ru - dsl forum?
[12:52] <Music_Shuffle> kel39ru, yeah, I get what you're trying to do, but you didn't specify it earlier, so it was confusing :P
[12:52] <slonbg> lbs: try with wine, as rbs-tito said
[12:52] <ParanoyaM> intagir, what i should do next?
[12:52] <rgl> Zyxus, I got /boot on a non-LVM partition
[12:52] <Music_Shuffle> __mikem, I meant like...how long have you...waited/counted?
[12:52] <__mikem> Music_Shuffle, the system effectively freezes
[12:53] <intangir> ParanoyaM: you installed openbsd-inetd?
[12:53] <j1tters> hey all. anyone happen to have a TomTom and using it under ubuntu?
[12:53] <slonbg> lbs: if it does not work, you can try crossover office (its payed product, but has a free trieal). its based on wine, with some improvements
[12:53] <ParanoyaM> yes
[12:53] <kel39ru> i dont expect Ubuntu to run on this hardware, i tryed Debian, but it dint finished installation neather :)
[12:53] <ParanoyaM> intagir, yes
[12:53] <intangir> ParanoyaM: did you copy the swat line back into inetd.conf?
[12:53] <TaJMoX> DSL is awesome with the toram option
[12:53] <lbs> thanks for the wine suggestion - one follow up question: do programs run significantly slower on wine?
[12:53] <TaJMoX> kel39ru DSL runs your hardware but ubuntu doesnt?
[12:53] <Tru7h> Is there a way to have some sort of file that when run would do a bunch of different things like replacing a file, moving a file, opening firefox, running some commands, opening firefox again to a certain page, then replacing more files?
[12:53] <TaJMoX> oh nvm
[12:53] <AusME> What cmd parms should I pass to what program to cause a program to open with a given dimensions?
[12:53] <Tru7h> Possibly through the terminal
[12:53] <intangir> ParanoyaM: sudo cat /etc/inetd.conf.b4 >> /etc/inetd.conf
[12:53] <Music_Shuffle> __mikem, oh...ouch.  I know mine tends to hang at spots for ~5-10 minutes sometimes when its being difficult, but it tends to resolve if I wait it out.  /shrug.
[12:54] <kel39ru> yes, dsl runs, as i sayd above 171mb hd, aint gonna hold Ubuntu hehe :)
[12:54] <Zyxus> rgl: you installed grub to sda
[12:54] <ParanoyaM> intagir, bash: /etc/inetd.conf: Permission denied
[12:54] <hacked_kernel> I'm installing jdk from the .bin file, I used java-package to generate the deb package but it give this messages and doesn't produce the deb pack "No matching plugin was found.
[12:54] <hacked_kernel> Removing temporary directory: done"
[12:54] <intangir> ParanoyaM: sudo cat /etc/inetd.conf.b4 >> /etc/inetd.conf
[12:54] <intangir> it gave you that error?
[12:54] <jrib> hacked_kernel: why don't you use the packaged java?
[12:55] <rgl> Zyxus, ubuntu install does that, no?
[12:55] <intangir> ParanoyaM: did it work?
[12:55] <hacked_kernel> jrib: because I'm installing the a recent version with update that its not on the source repositories
[12:55] <kel39ru> also wanted to try FreeBSD + fluxbox (would of been something new to lern for me) but i decided stay on linux for yet :)
[12:55] <ParanoyaM> intagir, i typed what you said and get this
[12:55] <ParanoyaM> bash: /etc/inetd.conf: Permission denied
[12:55] <intangir> ParanoyaM: ok try it like this instaed ;)
[12:55] <intangir> ParanoyaM: sudo su
[12:56] <intangir> ParanoyaM: cat /etc/inetd.conf.b4 >> /etc/inetd.conf
[12:56] <intangir> lol
[12:56] <TECH-> I gave windows up..I need to know what program in apt-get can I use for recording audio or video..thank you.
[12:56] <rgl> Zyxus, if there is not boot loader, the BIOS halts with a message, no?
[12:56] <Music_Shuffle> TECH-, have you tried Audacity?
[12:56] <Music_Shuffle> For audio.
[12:56] <intangir> ParanoyaM: then after that: /etc/init.d/inetd restart
[12:56] <Zyxus> rgl: sometimes it just hangs
[12:56] <TECH-> No..will it record for a good period?
[12:56] <rgl> Zyxus, without a message at all?
[12:57] <Music_Shuffle> TECH-, pretty much as long as you want...I've never been able to max it out or anything.
[12:57] <Zyxus> rgl: run live cd and then install grub to sda1
[12:57] <ParanoyaM> intagir, cat: /etc/inetd.conf.b4: No such file or directory
[12:57] <TECH-> Excellent...Thank You.
[12:57] <intangir> bah, didnt you make the copy before you installed ?
[12:57] <intangir> ParanoyaM: copy this line to the bottom of your inetd.conf file :swatIIstreamItcpInowait.400IrootI/usr/sbin/tcpdI/usr/sbin/swat
[12:57] <intangir> im not sure if you need the first : or not
[12:57] <Zyxus> rgl: yes i have had no grub in MBR and it just hangs..no msg
[12:57] <Music_Shuffle> TECH- GL :)
[12:57] <intangir> thats from what you pasted me
[12:58] <Zyxus> rgl: you can run grub-install or from cmd line run grub
[12:59] <ParanoyaM> intagir, with semicoma?
[12:59] <rgl> Zyxus, I'll try to install it.  its just grub-install /dev/sda ?
[12:59] <capiira> hmm hi how to find a harddisk UUID out ?
[01:00] <ParanoyaM> intagir, and where i can find inetd.conf file
[01:00] <intangir> ParanoyaM: 1 sec
[01:00] <ParanoyaM> Oh

[01:00] <ParanoyaM> Intagir, Thank you very much
[01:01] <intangir> ParanoyaM: your welcome
[01:01] <intangir> it woulda worked without issue if swat had correctly depended on inetd
[01:01] <ParanoyaM> intagir, maybe you can help me one more time?

[01:03] <ParanoyaM> intagir, but in my workgroup i can see only my pc, but if i'll type an ip op winxp pc i can access it
[01:03] <hacked_kernel> How to install java-6u1 from the .bin file?
[01:03] <intangir> ParanoyaM: maybe your not looking in the right workgroup
[01:03] <ParanoyaM> bo
[01:04] <Tru7h> Is there a way to have some sort of file that when run would do a bunch of stuff (possibly through the terminal) like moving files, opening and closing firefox, and running certain terminal commands? I'm currently stuck on a Live CD because something went wrong with my windows partition, and I'm tired of having to import my bookmarks and install flash every time I restart.
[01:04] <Tru7h> Thanks
[01:04] <ParanoyaM> intagir, no! i am in that group here is command line in smb.conf workgroup = HOME
[01:04] <wietz0r> Tru7h: You could maybe write some dirty shell script to do it
[01:04] <ParanoyaM> intagir, it is 100% correct workgroup
[01:04] <azades> list repositi ???
[01:05] <intangir> ParanoyaM: i dont know then, windows is lame ;) blame windows
[01:05] <azades> hoary
[01:05] <fLoW> hi, can someone help me? i have a AMD athlon XP 2800+, i wonder how i can enable CPU frequency scaling? also, i have a problem, if i enable 3D desktop (compiz), i cant see my borders & no titlebar of my windows, plz msg me ! :)
[01:05] <Music_Shuffle> Tru7h, but if you write a script for it, when you reboot, its going to be gone...and it might be more hassle to pastebin and save or something than to just...redo the entire process.
[01:05] <cafuego> Tru7h: If you have a flash drive, you can make the livecd run in persistent mode, so changes are saved.
[01:05] <ParanoyaM> intagir, i know that windows is lame, but i need to access pc
[01:05] <Music_Shuffle> cafuego, that's possible?
[01:05] <wietz0r> Music_Shuffle: usbkey
[01:05] <cafuego> Music_Shuffle: aye
[01:05] <wietz0r> or floppy, shellscripts are quite small
[01:05] <award09> fLow: are you using normal compiz, or compiz fusion?
[01:05] <__mikem> How do you change the font of your terminal?
[01:05] <charlie> guys, what are all of the ubuntu irc channels besides this one
[01:06] <Music_Shuffle> cafuego, ...that's pretty cool.  Thanks :D
[01:06] <kmasta> my monitor is capable of displaying 1400x900 res, but that's not one of the options in the res selector gui, what should I do?
[01:06] <intangir> ParanoyaM: all i can suggest is to goto nautilus: then on the menu select Go->Network
[01:06] <intangir> and browse them out, open windows network
[01:06] <intangir> select the right workgroup
[01:06] <Music_Shuffle> charlie, there's a lot of them.  #ubuntu-offtopic is fun ;)
[01:06] <intangir> and it should open them up
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> kmasta: ati or nvidia
[01:06] <ParanoyaM> intagir, it is very pity to me
[01:06] <intangir> it works for me, im in a large office and i can access 30 somethign guys from here
[01:06] <cafuego> kmasta: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' -> configure it, select 'Simple' for moionitors and then enabled all resolutions you need, including 1440x900.
[01:06] <Tru7h> Music_shuffle: I have a flash drive I'm keeping bookmarks and stuff on. Cafuego: How do I make it run in persistent mode? Can I to it with only half a 256 meg drive?
[01:06] <kmasta> jack_sparrow, ati
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> !ati
[01:07] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:07] <intangir> ParanoyaM: maybe there is something fishy about the network setup
[01:07] <wietz0r> kmasta: do you use an intel ?
[01:07] <cafuego> Tru7h: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-live-cd-save-data-desktop-information-on-usb-device.html
[01:07] <__mikem> Does anyone know how to change the font in your terminal window
[01:07] <intangir> or maybe its not allowing certain broadcasts
[01:07] <kmasta> wiet0r, no amd
[01:07] <wietz0r> then I don't know
[01:07] <intangir> ParanoyaM: you can try typing in the compute rnames like "smb://someonesbox"
[01:07] <intangir> in nautilus
[01:08] <cafuego> Tru7h: or for more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence
[01:08] <intangir> nautilus i think can view/mount most windows shares even without samba installed
[01:08] <dan325> :( nobody know why my printer would randomly have stopped working.  It was working fine in Ubuntu -- it still works fine on my Windows machine.  Suddenly, I'm getting "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110" in my /var/log/syslog...  any ideas?
[01:08] <ParanoyaM> no
[01:08] <ParanoyaM> intagir, no
[01:08] <fLoW> award : normal compiz, "out of the box" feisty
[01:08] <ParanoyaM> intagir but smb://someonIP - yes
[01:09] <ParanoyaM> intagir
[01:09] <fLoW> award09: i'm using normal compiz, at least i thing ( ubuntu 7.04 out of the box)
[01:09] <intangir> ParanoyaM: well at least that works, not sure how else to help you on that, mine works already
[01:09] <award09> fLoW: sorry then, i know a workaround for compiz fusion (via beryl), but that seems like overkill for you
[01:09] <ParanoyaM> intagir, i found nmblookup
[01:09] <ParanoyaM> intagir, how i can use it?
[01:09] <__mikem> Can someone help me. Everytime I boot my system 20 times and it does the forced file system check, fsck hangs and I have to use the install cd to boot into a rescue shell. Can someone help me remidy this
[01:10] <cafuego> __mikem: fsck hangs?
[01:10] <fLoW> does anybody happen to know how to enable cpu frequency scaling for amd athlon xp +2800 ?
[01:10] <__mikem> yes
[01:10] <wietz0r> fLoW: Google does
[01:10] <fLoW> no google doesn't
[01:10] <cafuego> __mikem: if fsck hangs, your filesystem ahs problems, the forced fsck afetr 20 boots is normal (though not strictly needed normally).
[01:10] <fLoW> or i can't understand google
[01:10] <fLoW> (he's been drinking)
[01:10] <__mikem> cafuego, no, because when I run fsck from a rescue disk, it works fine
[01:11] <Tru7h> Cafuego: I'd rether not mess around with the filesystem and stuff on my drive. I have alot of stuff on there I don't want to risk.
[01:11] <Tru7h> Wietz0r: Where can I find more info on writing a "dirty script" like you said?
[01:11] <cafuego> __mikem: Then there is a problem with the fsck on the hdd, either way..

[01:11] <fisherpLLC> hello all

[01:11] <__mikem> cafuego, if it is a problem with the fsck on hdd, how do I fix that
[01:12] <cafuego> __mikem: You can change the interval via `tune2fs -C 0' (that disables it I think)
[01:12] <fLoW> thx m8 !!
[01:12] <cafuego> __mikem: I don't know until i know *what* the problem is. "Just hangs" is not really useful debugging info ;-)
[01:12] <bronze> Where can I find a tutorial on how to enable the side-buttons of my mouse in linux? I reckon it has something to do with xorg.conf, but I can't remember.

[01:22] <fisherpri> i'm wondering if i anyone has experience trying to install 7.04 onto a new hp pavilion tx 1000 would you?  the touch screen does a bizarre white to black transition thing when i boot from the live CD, never even get into the OS.  it happens in both 386 and 64 bit discs, in both normal and graphics-safe modes respectively
[01:22] <cafuego> Tru7h: Just pop the bash commands in an executable text file that starts with #!/bin/bash
[01:22] <Tru7h> Okay
[01:22] <loki0347> can anyone help AMD64 X2 will not boot live cd past kernel live screen?
[01:23] <fisherpri> loki: is it a turon?
[01:23] <loki0347> no athalon
[01:23] <loki0347> athlon*
[01:23] <fisherpri> ah, i'm having the same problem with a turon.. won't boot into the OS.. screen does weird tricks
[01:23] <python_> can anyone tell me is there a way to change the sid of a group in samba?, i need to make "Domain Admins" -512 it auto makes it -1001 ?
[01:24] <cafuego> does the `alternate' cd work ok?
[01:24] <loki0347> @isherpri: what is your problem?
[01:24] <cafuego> I used that on my X2 and had no problems.
[01:24] <fisherpri> i haven't tried that disc.. is the alternate CD the same OS?
[01:24] <fisherpri> i know it sounds silly
[01:26] <persica> fisherpri: that may well not have anything to do with your processor if your video is going crazy.  Try the alternate install CD.  It gives you some options instead of booting into the desktop.  one option is to do a text-based install.
[01:26] <fisherpri> ah!
[01:26] <persica> If it can't boot to the alternate install CD's menu then there really is something funky going.
[01:26] <fisherpri> do you know if 7.04 has support for touch screens?
[01:26] <persica> That I don't know.  I've never had to support a touch screen.
[01:26] <linxeh> touch screens should just work as a standard ps2 pointing device no ?
[01:27] <fisherpri> i was worried more about the drivers for making the screen function itself
[01:27] <linxeh> or USB I guess, depending on the implementation (the old touch screens I used worked that way)
[01:27] <fisherpri> then again, i have no idea how touch screens work lol
[01:27] <linxeh> a touch screen is just a normal LCD with a position sensing layer/film
[01:27] <persica> fisherpri: I know I've seen touch screens work with ubuntu.
[01:27] <fisherpri> ah!
[01:27] <linxeh> or a CRT one had a special base that detected the angle the screen was being pushed back etc
[01:28] <fisherpri> you gang are very helpful
[01:29] <bronze> Hey, check out this: Microsoft describes ubuntu as perfect: http://209.85.129.104/search?q=cache:wrLRF8L6fpsJ:www.windowsmarketplace.com/details.aspx%3Fview%3Dinfo%26itemid%3D3411347+windows+market+place+ubuntu+is+perfect&hl=no&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=no
[01:29] <bronze> It's from google cache
[01:29] <persica> It's funny that that would make Microsoft a linux distributor. :)
[01:29] <cafuego> fisherpri: thing is, after 'Kernel Alive' it switches to a framebuffer... the alternate with text install doesn't do that.
[01:30] <cipy> what would you recommend AIXGL or Xgl ?
[01:30] <Alex288> quick question.  i get an error when i goto install Pidgin  "E: Couldn't find package pidgin" ,. any reason why ?
[01:30] <cafuego> bronze: They also describe Vista as 'good', so I don't think we'd want to be associated with them in any wany.
[01:31] <bronze> cafuego, haha good point, although I still think it's kinda funny :)
[01:31] <fisherpri> so cafuego, should i invoke any command then to do that switchover manually?
[01:32] <vaclav> Is there a PPC build of Ubuntu?
[01:32] <cafuego> yes
[01:32] <fisherpri> or smartphone???
[01:32] <cafuego> fisherpri: Oh, on the livecd? i don't know if it can.
[01:32] <kitche> !ppc | vaclav
[01:32] <ubotu> vaclav: PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[01:33] <vaclav> ubotu: Thanks :P
[01:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thanks :p - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:33] <fisherpri> no, i mean i'm going to boot from the alternate and try that.. but you said something along the lines of switching to a framebuffer, and that the alternate doesnt do that.. should i enter a command to make it switch to framebuffer?
[01:33] <sj_> I am having a problem with Firefox not being able to connect to the internet. Could someone her help me or should I go somewhere else?
[01:34] <fisherpri> sj: can you ping any sites?
[01:34] <fisherpri> try opening a command prompt and typing:  ping www.cnet.com
[01:34] <sj_> yes. and I can obviously chat here.
[01:34] <persica> Alex288: if your question hasn't been answered, have you tried installing GAIM? Maybe your repositories don't have it under the new name.
[01:34] <Walkover> Hey a c programming question... How do I represent something in binary when i write my code. You know hex is something like 0xFFFF but how do i get to write the bits myself? like 0b1000100101
[01:34] <fisherpri> didn't know if it was the same machine
[01:34] <Walkover> something like that
[01:34] <cafuego> fisherpri: Nono, the alternate cannot run as a livecd, it does atext based install only, afaik.
[01:34] <fisherpri> for example, i'm on a VM right now
[01:35] <persica> Walkover: In a way, hex is binary.  Each 'digit' just maps to four hex bits.  It's also a lot more compact.
[01:35] <sj_> I just uninstalled dansguardian through synaptic and now I can't reach the internet.
[01:35] <fisherpri> cafuego: OH i understand.. so in other words, once the text-based installer completes, i should be able to boot into the OS as normal?
[01:35] <Walkover> yeah i know
[01:35] <HemliG> how to i make a root account ? i use server dist.
[01:35] <Walkover> but i want it in binary,,
[01:35] <hypnoticx> do any of you know how to "chkdsk" a drive?
[01:35] <cafuego> fisherpri: ideally yes. if not, you can at least boot into it in text mode and check logs :-)
[01:36] <cafuego> HemliG: sudo passwd
[01:36] <HemliG> cafuego thx.
[01:36] <name642> ok, so i am having a bad time with grub on my desktop
[01:36] <fisherpri> i wish there was a smartphone distro.. i'd load it right now
[01:36] <fisherpri> a motorola Q running ubuntu would be bad ass
[01:36] <persica> walkover: I sadly don't know enough about C to tell you.  I don't think I've ever used binary, though I vaguely remember a project where I might have wanted binary but used hex instead.
[01:37] <Walkover> ok no problem
[01:37] <HemliG> cafuego dont work ?
[01:37] <HemliG> hostis@server:~$ sudo passwd
[01:37] <HemliG> Password:
[01:37] <HemliG> Sorry, try again.
[01:37] <name642> it is giving me heck about "Error 17" which i see on the forums but none of those things mix my problem
[01:37] <persica> HemliG: sudo prompts you for your own password once if you haven't used it for the last five minutes or so.
[01:37] <cafuego> HemliG: first, enter your OWN password, for sudo.
[01:37] <cafuego> HemliG: *then* set the root password.
[01:37] <Walkover> im just trying to use a char as 8 booleans, and since it is such a small variable it would actually be more readable in binary
[01:38] <HemliG> w8
[01:38] <hypnoticx> when I try to mount my ntfs windows partition.. i get back "volume is dirty...try chkdsk"
[01:38] <gianni> hallo
[01:38] <persica> HemliG: after that you're asking it to run passwd as root, which will set the root password.  The account exists, you just can't log into it.
[01:38] <Alex288> persia : I have Gaim. but i want to update to Pidgin
[01:38] <cafuego> Walkover: why not use an int and bitmask it?
[01:38] <persica> Alex288:  I'm wondering if the package is still called gaim for backwards compatibility, though the version is actually > 2.0
[01:39] <Walkover> bitmask?
[01:39] <Pirate_Hunter> is it possible to run Getright from wine but using it on firefox, by that I mean without having to instal firefox on wine, could I just use my standard FF on ubuntu and run Getright inside that FF or do I need to download another one that has to run inside wine (I hope I made sense)
[01:39] <Walkover> cafuego, what is bitmask
[01:39] <cafuego> oh bother
[01:39] <Walkover> guess its a google
[01:39] <cafuego> yeh :-)
[01:39] <fisherpri> ubuntu is definitely the best coaster making project i've taken on
[01:40] <fisherpri> well slackware might have it beat, actually
[01:40] <persica> Alex288: I don't think pidgin is in the repositories yet.  Try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-pidgin-200-on-ubuntu-feisty-with-plugin-pack.html
[01:40] <cafuego> Walkover: basically, store your booleans as powers of 2.
[01:40] <fisherpri> i could serve a dinner party with my slack trash
[01:40] <cheeseboy> how i get bus identifier of my videocard?
[01:40] <sj_> fisherpri: did you catch my response?
[01:40] <persica> cheeseboy: What about lspci -v | grep <vidcard identifier>
[01:40] <cafuego> Walkover: So in binary notation, it;'s a string of 1's and 0's.
[01:40] <tritium> fisherpri: so what are you doing wrong?
[01:41] <cafuego> Walkover: When coding, you use a bitmask to set them... anwyay, you'll see.
[01:41] <Alex288> Thanks Persia
[01:41] <Larry> Chees - I'm new but maybe lspci
[01:41] <Walkover> yeah a lot turned up when i googled

[01:42] <eelmoo> Hello
[01:42] <Larry> hi
[01:42] <TheUni5> Hi
[01:43] <Pirate_Hunter> is it possible to run Getright from wine but using it on firefox, by that I mean without having to instal firefox on wine, could I just use my standard FF on ubuntu and run Getright inside that FF or do I need to download another one that has to run inside wine (I hope I made sense)
[01:44] <cheeseboy> how i get bus identifier of my videocard?

[01:44] <Larry> Question for anyone willing.  I'm on a toshiba laptop, not using fglrx, and suspend never actually gets to suspend.  screen goes black but not off.  front lights stay on... hibernate works, but i loose screen brightness control after resuming.
[01:44] <persica> Pirate_Hunter: wine applications run inside wine, so to other linux processes they look like wine processes and not like whatever is inside.  I don't know of any work to allow wine processes to communicate with linux processes.
[01:44] <persica> Pirate_Hunter: though I don't know what Getright is.
[01:45] <Larry> getright is a downloading client
[01:45] <Walkover> thanks persica
[01:45] <Pirate_Hunter> persica: in my opinion one of the best windows download accelerator and manager
[01:45] <agn0stic> cheeseboy: scan through the output of "lspci -v" i think
[01:47] <agn0stic> cheeseboy: easier - sudo scanpci
[01:47] <persica> Pirate_Hunter: My guess is that it then expects a windows browser to hook into.  When you run an application in wine it only sees a certain subdirectory as its C: drive.  In addition it won't understand the linux version of firefox, so it won't be able to hook into your linux firefox.  You'd have to install a copy of firefox in Wine to use it.
[01:48] <cheeseboy> does nvidia drivers work?
[01:48] <persica> Pirate_Hunter: I don't know for sure, but that's how I believe it all works.

[01:50] <Larry>  Question for anyone willing.  I'm on a toshiba laptop, not using fglrx, and suspend never actually gets to suspend.  screen goes black but not off.  front lights stay on... hibernate works, but i loose screen brightness control after resuming.  Any ideas on either, esp suspend?
[01:50] <persica> Pirate_Hunter: I hear you.  Usually I'm able to find a native replacement for a Windows program, but this may not be one of those.
[01:50] <persica> Larry: sorry, I dont' know anything about hibernation or sleep in linux (though I'll be doign a linux laptop shortly!)
[01:51] <nerdboy1025> i am using an acer TM 800
[01:51] <Larry> Nice.  bought or installed over?
[01:51] <TaJMoX> pirate_hunter d4x is nice
[01:52] <persica> Larry: both, actually.  I should be getting a Dell for work and I want to install over OS X on my MacBook.
[01:52] <TaJMoX> apparently getright works in wine
[01:52] <Pirate_Hunter> persica: nope download accelerators hasnt caught up with linux distros yet and axel is useless cause it doesnt bypass what most server have implemented to stop download accelerator also the options on it are minimal to my requirements
[01:52] <TaJMoX> but you'll have to copy and paste the download links into getright - it wont capture them from ubuntu firefox
[01:53] <yeager_> anyone here good att LIVeS video editing program? It seems i need some help to get effects preview to work...
[01:53] <persica> A copy-and-paste isn't so bad.

[01:53] <Warbo> Hi, since upgrading to Feisty I have needed to disable power management due to kernel panics, but this is not optimal for a laptop. Trying to start things from single user mode like frequency scaling works fine, but I think it is the SATA hard drive which causes the panics whenever /etc/init.d/dbus is started. Does anyone know how I can selectively disable the buggy power management but keep the rest? Maybe some modules I sho
[01:54] <unagi> is it possible to run .rpm on ubuntu?
[01:54] <agn0stic> perscia: the firefox extension downthem all is somewhat like a download accelerator (does chunking and saving of partial downloads). I'm late to this, so I dont know if it's been reccomended to you, but it's similar to getright, and wouldn't require using wine.
[01:54] <Warbo> unagi: Yes, but don't use it for system-critical programs
[01:54] <Warbo> !rpm
[01:54] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[01:54] <unagi> just for maya
[01:54] <agn0stic> perscia: downthemall, one word. sorry
[01:54] <persica> agn0stic: it's actually Pirate_Hunter who is a fan of Getright.
[01:54] <Paranoiak> !imap
[01:54] <Warbo> unagi: You could try installing alien and using that to convert it to a Debian package

[01:56] <jroes> is this a new way to spam?  putting links to your google adsense-laden blog on wikis?
[01:56] <Pirate_Hunter> persica: nah its just once I downloaded it and im tlaking about the full version I just didnt look for anything else and as the saying does "why look for something else if it works just great"
[01:56] <gonzoism> i can shake my hips like shakira...
[01:56] <cheeseboy> ugh why wont nvidia drivers work on fiesty?
[01:57] <persica> maximal: The thunderbird mail should be in ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/<profilestring>.default/Mail.  It's in a fairly standard format.
[01:57] <Pirate_Hunter> agn0stic: will try that for now will giv it a chance, today I had my first crash in opera funny enough the FF crash app came on lol
[01:57] <kitche> cheeseboy: they do
[01:57] <maximal> persica: thx i'll have a look
[01:57] <Pirate_Hunter> gonzoism: I hope youre a female cause if you aint thats disturbing
[01:57] <nerdboy1025> lol
[01:57] <nerdboy1025> i was thinking the same thing
[01:58] <gonzoism> Pirate_Hunter i'm just being disturbing/disruptive.
[01:58] <larson9999> unagi, for what it's worth, i use alien pretty often for a LONG time now, when the repositories don't update some of the packages i use often enough.  ooo is often installed on my machine via alien.  i haven't had any issues.
[01:58] <cheeseboy> kitche, not since i upgraded to fiesty they dont
[01:58] <Erdaron> could someone tell me the command for re-initializing xorg's configuration upon installing a new video card?
[01:58] <kitche> cheeseboy: how did you install the nvidia drivers
[01:58] <cheeseboy> apt-get
[01:58] <nerdboy1025> lol
[01:58] <agn0stic> Erdaron: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:58] <Larry> oh, i knnow this erdaron... it's just been a while
[01:58] <Larry> that's it
[01:58] <kitche> cheeseboy: since when the kernel is updated you have to reinstall the nvidia drivers what's your video card
[01:58] <maximal> cheeseboy: i've got nvidia drivers installed for feisty.   The only problem I have found so far is that when switching between users the machine can hang
[01:58] <Pirate_Hunter> nerdboy1025: yeah it was the first thing that popped in my mind and for soem reaosn I just remebered the saying "there are no females on the internet", thats why i had to sya that
[01:59] <Erdaron> agn0stic: thanks. after this command, Feisty should re-write xorg.conf for the new card, correct?
[01:59] <thornomad> i wanted to create a simple script that would examine the file size of a directory ... but I want to be able to see if it is bigger or smaller than a certain size (if/else) ... I know I can use "du" to get the directory size, but is there a simple way to just get the integer so I can run a comparison in the script ?
[01:59] <cheeseboy> kitche, i installed after ypdated kernel
[01:59] <Pirate_Hunter> gonzoism: lol if u say so
[01:59] <nerdboy1025> lol
[01:59] <swami> hi, everyone...
[01:59] <agn0stic> Erdaron: I think so, I havent upgraded my vid card in forever though.
[01:59] <cheeseboy> updated*
[01:59] <nerdboy1025> anyone use OpenBravo
[02:00] <Erdaron> alright.... hopefully I won't have to reinstall again :)
[02:00] <persica> thornomad: try "du -s | awk '{print $1}'"
[02:00] <Ahadiel> Hello, how would one go about setting up an apt repository? (Personal use)
[02:00] <cheeseboy> kitche, failed to load NVIDIA kernel module
[02:00] <thornomad> persica: thanks ... let me try that
[02:00] <swami> i have an external hard disc...but i cant save anything to it.. it says no permission to write.. but i have no problem in savin in that when am on windows.. cud someone help me out, plz :)
[02:00] <Larry> erdaron
[02:00] <agn0stic> Erdaron: you definitely don't need to reinstall. There's other ways to do it if that doesn't work (it should, and the other methods are a bit ugly)
[02:00] <Larry> back up xorg.conf first
[02:00] <Larry> and if all else fails, go into recovery
[02:00] <Larry> and copy it back
[02:00] <Erdaron> Larry: already done
[02:01] <cheeseboy> someone help me fix nvidia drivers?
[02:01] <Larry> i had to do that at least 20 times before i got it right
[02:01] <kitche> cheeseboy: that just means either the module is not for your kernel or it's loading wrong
[02:01] <thornomad> persica: awesome! That is great ... what does "print $1" mean ?
[02:01] <cheeseboy> kitche, so what i do about it?
[02:01] <agn0stic> Larry: reminds me of my first experience with linux - Debian stable, and took forever to get X running.
[02:01] <larson9999> lots of ways to install nvidia these days. automatix2, restricted drivers helper deal, and the old fashioned ways.  what a wonderful world.
[02:01] <persica> thornomad: BIGSIZE=100000; if [ `du -s | awk '{print $1}'` -gt $BIGSIZE ] ; then echo "It's big."; fi
[02:02] <Erdaron> Larry: yeah, my first attempt ended up pretty ugly. But I think that's because xorg.conf kept looking for the old card
[02:02] <aburns> how do we have a return label for a misship accept more than one item?
[02:02] <swami> how do i enable write permission on tht :-s
[02:02] <persica> thornomad: the print is an awk statement.  Awk is a scripting language/interpreter that's very simple and designed for parsing columnated output.
[02:02] <brilarks> Swami I think I had the same problem. Try this link for instructions on setting up a nfts-3g drive.
[02:02] <brilarks> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
[02:03] <swami> brilarks: thank u.. lemme see that :)
[02:03] <thornomad> persica: thanks for that.  that is excellent
[02:03] <Wips> A question about gFTP: How do I not enter passive mode when connecting to a server? It just doest it automatically
[02:03] <level1> hi, fglrx gets disabled every time I boot, but "modprobe fglrx" (even when not in root) works just fine
[02:03] <larson9999> Wips, there's a setting in the gui
[02:03] <persica> thornomad: No problem.  It's amazing what you can do once you learn the tools in linux.  Take a while to try to understand the awk manpage.  It's useful for all sorts of things.
[02:04] <fisherpri> it's official. i hate microsoft and HP equally.  i didnt hate either until about 2 weeks ago but now, it's done. they're both cut.  miserable companies.
[02:04] <thornomad> persica: will do.  i have played with sed and grep ... but awk looks awesome
[02:04] <Wips> larson9999: I think I found it.. Passive transfers, is that the same?
[02:04] <level1> fisherpri: why hp, in particular?
[02:04] <larson9999> yeah
[02:04] <cheeseboy> someone help me fix nvidia drivers?
[02:04] <Wips> larson9999: k, thx
[02:05] <fisherpri> because they decided to refuse XP drivers for brand new equipment
[02:05] <fisherpri> they decided to phase out XP
[02:05] <fisherpri> thats ridiculous
[02:05] <fisherpri> so my brand new $1900 gorgeous thin machine is useless
[02:05] <fisherpri> hence why i'm downloading the alternate cd
[02:06] <fisherpri> ubuntu was the plan from the start, but i'm a consultant, i need a working xp machine on me 24/7
[02:06] <larson9999> fisherpri, don't throw it away. i'll take that worthless pos
[02:06] <Larry> sorry to ask again, but anyone have any ideas on how to make suspend work on a toshiba laptop.  The screen goes black, but not off... speakers hum.  fan stays on.  doesn't go low-power.  any help?
[02:06] <maximal> cheeseboy: how did u install the drivers?
[02:06] <GasBrander> hi all
[02:06] <Larry> I've read that fgrlx gives issues... but i'm not using that
[02:06] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: advice dual boot thats the way to the future
[02:06] <fisherpri> yeh bro i tried that
[02:06] <larson9999> Larry, good luck with suspend.  imho, it's iffy at best.
[02:06] <GasBrander> how can i set a map so not only root can access it ?
[02:06] <fisherpri> a) no drivers for XP so no hardware works, and b) it won't load ubuntu's live CD
[02:07] <cheeseboy> maximal, apt-get
[02:07] <yeager_> anyone knows how to get the coders in /usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.2.4/modules-Q16/coders/? imagemagick dosent install them.
[02:07] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: you tried but I guess it didnt go smoothly... am i right?
[02:07] <maximal> cheeseboy: apt-get nvidia-glx ?
[02:07] <fisherpri> i swear to god if i have to install vista onto it to get it to work, i'm shooting someone
[02:07] <DavidCraft> while partitioning my hard drive on my laptop, I got the following error message: "BOOTBCD.LOG is 9 k, but has 33 clusters(132k)."  what does this mean?
[02:07] <fisherpri> i partitioned the HD for like 10 different OSs.. it just wont load the live CD
[02:07] <cheeseboy> maximal, yes
[02:07] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: lol what comp you got
[02:07] <GasBrander> how can i set a map so not only root can access it ?
[02:07] <fisherpri> it goes nuts at the end of the post
[02:07] <Erdaron> also, while I'm waiting for reboots... my feisty is taking forever to load, longer than an XP machine. Where would I start looking for problems?
[02:07] <GasBrander> :p
[02:07] <maximal> cheeseboy: what errors do u get?
[02:07] <fisherpri> HP Pavilion tx 1000
[02:08] <fisherpri> amd turon 64 x2. 2gb, 5 lbs.. it's dope
[02:08] <persica> DavidCraft: I think that means you have a filesystem corruption.  The file size and the space on disk are inconsistent.  Try checking your file system.
[02:08] <brilarks> cheeseboy: did you try using automatix it worked like really easy for me.
[02:08] <fisherpri> touchscreen and the whole 9.. but it doesnt do SQUAT WITHOUT AN OS
[02:08] <GasBrander> some one who want to help me?
[02:08] <larson9999> dual booting? that's so 90's.  all or nothing is what all the cool kids are doing.
[02:08] <fisherpri> well my goal is ubuntu hosting VM
[02:08] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: have no clue about hp if they are like macs youl'll haveprobs installing ubunut but im sure hp is compatible with ubuntu - their latest pcs come with it
[02:08] <fisherpri> will a VM use the host machine's hardware?
[02:08] <persica> Erdaron: do you have timestamps on your dmesg?
[02:09] <fisherpri> like a thumbreader or bluetooth stack
[02:09] <GasBrander> can some one help mee?
[02:09] <agn0stic> GasBrander: what do you mean, a map? is this a specific file
[02:09] <GasBrander> no
[02:09] <cheeseboy> maximal, Failed to load module wfb FATAL error runing install command for nvidia  failed to load nvidia kernel module
[02:09] <GasBrander> a map
[02:09] <DavidCraft> there is no file system!
[02:09] <cheeseboy> brilarks, whats that?
[02:09] <DavidCraft> im partitioning it1
[02:09] <fisherpri> are you serious? i wasnt able to buy a system with anything but vista on it
[02:09] <GasBrander> only root can access that map but i want that all my users can access that map
[02:09] <brilarks> It's this cool software that loads all the things that aren't automatically included.
[02:09] <persica> DavidCraft: oh, hrm.  What filesystem?
[02:10] <agn0stic> GasBrander: what is the map made by?
[02:10] <fisherpri> brilarks: checkout easyubuntu also
[02:10] <GasBrander> how do you mean?
[02:10] <fisherpri> its just like automatix but more media focused
[02:10] <fisherpri> codecs and what not
[02:10] <swami> brilarks: now another problem....
[02:10] <agn0stic> GasBrander: I don't know what you mean by map, and can't really tell you how to fix it unless I know. There's a few possibilities
[02:11] <maximal> cheeseboy: that appears in dmesg?  have u tried sudo modprobe nvidia from the command line?
[02:11] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: youre just ahving one of those days if youre machine is 64 bit you should getting 64 bit ubuntu but ive heard thats messy but that it will be more compatible with 64 bit hardware especially if youre saying the the comp is meant for vista
[02:11] <cheeseboy> maximal, yes
[02:11] <swami> brilarks: i wanted to use that external hardisc for my bittorrent client(azureus) to save the downloaded files...
[02:11] <brilarks> Swami: I forgot The rest of the instructions on how to install give's version of pmount are in reply #816 on page 82
[02:11] <fisherpri> yeh i'm loading the 64bit alternate cd in a few minutes
[02:11] <cheeseboy> maximal, it occours when i try to startx
[02:11] <fisherpri> i'll give you guys the play by play lol
[02:11] <swami> but, as we are not the root... its not possible :-s
[02:11] <GasBrander> euhm agn0stic Can it be a dir?
[02:11] <DavidCraft> there is a recovery patition on my laptop, it is a 5 gig FAT32 partition.  When I clicked cancel on the error msg I got another msg saying the problem was with this partition.  I shoudl just ignore this as I dont want to mess with that partition at all anyways correct?
[02:12] <fisherpri> ubuntu will recognize pre-made partitions right?  i paritioned the hell out of the drive with the windows paritioner when i installed xp
[02:12] <GasBrander> agn0stic its /media/disk/htdocs
[02:12] <agn0stic> GasBrander: sure. If you need everyone to be able to read and write to it, chmod a+rw /media/disk/htdocs
[02:12] <GasBrander> tnx
[02:12] <maximal> cheeseboy: oh ok - so if you type lsmod | grep nvidia u can see the kernel module loaded?
[02:12] <larson9999> fisherpri, i put fiesty on my wife's hp.  bought it new in jan.
[02:12] <fisherpri> touchscreen?
[02:13] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: why didnt you use gparted or something similar they are good and less messy than windows partitioner also they allow EXT3 as well as some other useful options
[02:13] <fisherpri> i know it has something to do with the video bc the screen goes bonkers
[02:13] <cheeseboy> maximal,no
[02:13] <brilarks> swami: Umm, not the root. Bummer
[02:13] <swami> brilarks: what?
[02:13] <swami> bummer? *confused*
[02:13] <persica> DavidCraft: if it's a recovery partition it is probably a bit weird.  Some vendors intentionally put errors in those file systems so they won't show up in windows.  It usually just contains a backup windows installation.
[02:13] <fisherpri> i don't mind partitioning it again
[02:13] <brilarks> It just means 'unlucky'
[02:14] <brilarks> I've run out of suggestions I'm afraid.
[02:14] <fisherpri> so whens the next major relase date?
[02:14] <maximal> cheeseboy: i've got nvidia as the first entry in my /etc/modules
[02:14] <brilarks> You'll have to try someone else
[02:14] <gonzoism> DavidCraft sure
[02:14] <gonzoism> DavidCraft i would.
[02:14] <lexus_nexis> hi guys
[02:14] <maximal> cheeseboy: have you got it in /etc/modules?
[02:14] <lexus_nexis> and girls if there's any
[02:15] <Erdaron> how do I reboot from prompt?
[02:15] <lexus_nexis> I need abit of help
[02:15] <fisherpri> shutdown -r -t now
[02:15] <Erdaron> fisherpri: thanks
[02:15] <swami> brilarks: okie.. i will do a sacrifice...
[02:15] <lexus_nexis> does anyone know of a way to control the sound levels withing xfce
[02:15] <atrus> any suggestions on how to get gnome to connect to open wireless access points? it connects to my wpa one fine, but fails on unencrypted access points.
[02:15] <swami> i will format that 300GB, and how will i make it usable for lunix?
[02:15] <lexus_nexis> within
[02:16] <fisherpri> eradon, u can also change now to a numeric value for a time-delayed reboot
[02:16] <cheeseboy> maximal, how i check?
[02:16] <Pirate_Hunter> fisherpri: if your planning to dual boot best advice if you cna get hold of it is get XP 64bit and than install ubuntu 64 otherwise it is harder to dual boot from ubuntu as windows is gay - PS: make sure you actually have a 64 bit SP as most retailelrs just sell the 32bit
[02:16] <maximal> cheeseboy: open a terminal then:   cat /etc/modules
[02:16] <agn0stic> lexus_nexus, don't know about xfce specific, but theres a command line tool called alsactl (and alsamixer) you can use from a terminal
[02:16] <Erdaron> fisherpri: it keeps returning "time expected"
[02:16] <lexus_nexis> thanks I try that
[02:16] <agn0stic> lexus_nexus: alsamixer is probably what you want
[02:17] <cheeseboy> maximal all thats there is lp
[02:17] <fisherpri> erdaron, im sorry i have the syntax wrong.. type info shutdown
[02:17] <fisherpri> it'll give u a syntax at the bottom
[02:17] <thespy> Is it possible to upgrade from Ubuntu 6.06 to 7.04 using a CD?
[02:17] <fisherpri> along with a hint for immediate reboot
[02:17] <Erdaron> meh, ctrl-alt-del did it :)
[02:17] <lexus_nexis> thanks agn0stic that's exactlyu what I needed
[02:17] <fisherpri> lol touche
[02:17] <fisherpri> but its a handy command to know
[02:17] <maximal> cheeseboy: i added nvidia before lp
[02:17] <lexus_nexis> peace out to all the tuxers
[02:17] <peanutb> thespy, no. you need to first upgrade to edgy, then to fiesty
[02:17] <lexus_nexis> ohh
[02:17] <lexus_nexis> one sec
[02:17] <iphv37> where do i go to see how memory ram is my computer recognizing?
[02:18] <lexus_nexis> does anyone know of the average price of an xbox
[02:18] <iphv37> *many
[02:18] <fisherpri> i've been running a 64 bit machine since dec 2004 so im used to it by now
[02:18] <maximal> cheeseboy: this causes it to load early - i think it can avoid conflicts
[02:18] <izhirahider> Does anyone know a feisty repository for GIMP 2.3 (development branch) ?
[02:18] <tritium> iphv37: cat /proc/meminfo
[02:18] <fisherpri> i lived thru the beta xp 64 bit
[02:18] <fisherpri> hell
[02:18] <lexus_nexis> im planing on getting one and loading *nix onit
[02:18] <thespy> peanutb: so could i upgrade using a cd to edgy, the with a cd to fiesty?
[02:18] <cheeseboy> maximal how i add it?
[02:18] <unagi> i need help......i still dont understand how to install programs on ubuntu
[02:18] <fisherpri> i cant decide if tablet edition or 64bit would be better tho
[02:19] <lexus_nexis> unagi what the problem?
[02:19] <fisherpri> wish there was an 64bit tablet haha thatd be the perfect answer
[02:19] <thespy> peanutb: coz my internet is too slow to download updates / new versions
[02:19] <swami> my monitor used to support resolution "1280x1024" in 32 bit ... in windows... but in ubuntu its only showing 1024x768, 24 bit... :(
[02:19] <unagi> i converted an iso with .rpm to .deb
[02:19] <maximal> cheeseboy: gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[02:19] <unagi> now i have all sorts of folders
[02:19] <swami> i edited the xorg.conf and added what i needed
[02:19] <unagi> but being from a windows background i dont know what to do without an install.exe
[02:19] <swami> then , i can see the option to enable it, but, once i enable it, it crashes
[02:19] <fisherpri> is anybody running both KDE and GNOME on the same install?
[02:19] <swami> :-s
[02:19] <iphv37> tritium, thanks!!
[02:19] <peanutb> thespy, yes as long as they are alternate cds
[02:19] <unagi> i have 2 folders debian and usr
[02:20] <Pirate_Hunter> swami: live with it at the moment I am until i can figure out how to improve it
[02:20] <peanutb> fisherpri, yep
[02:20] <Erdaron> alright, moment of truth... come on graphics!
[02:20] <persica> fisherpri: I have gnome, kde, xfce, and fluxbox installed on this system.
[02:20] <Larry> fisher.  i was on my desktop before
[02:20] <fisherpri> wow!  gangsta
[02:20] <swami> Pirate_Hunter: ohhh... :(
[02:20] <Trista> i have a question. i recently uninstalled windows because it crashed. but now my GRUB is messed up and cant boot up linux. i have kubuntu. i understand there is a way too do it using a live cd which i have. iam really new to this. could someone help me please.
[02:20] <fisherpri> u don't get conflict issues?
[02:20] <gonzoism> swami no you didn't.
[02:20] <lexus_nexis> unagi it so much of a hassle to change binary formats just get the right installer
[02:20] <peanutb> fisherpri,  you choose which you want at bootup
[02:20] <peanutb> fisherpri,  sorry at login
[02:20] <unagi> thats a little easier said than done
[02:20] <fisherpri> wow even nicer
[02:20] <lexus_nexis> with debs you can use gdebi install if you use ubuntu
[02:20] <swami> gonzoism: i dint? i dint understand what u meant :(
[02:20] <persica> Trista: you'll want to boot off the CD and get to a prompt, then follow the instructions for reinstalling grub at ubuntuguide.org
[02:21] <Erdaron> weee! it boots! thanks for the pointers, gents :)
[02:21] <agn0stic> unagi: to install a deb, dpkg -i debfile.deb - it's normally better to do apt-cache search "what you're looking for" then apt-get install packagename
[02:21] <fisherpri> ooo my CD is done
[02:21] <fisherpri> time to make another coaster brb
[02:21] <Larry> swami - i just made the res i want the only one in xorg
[02:21] <lexus_nexis> lol
[02:21] <Pirate_Hunter> well im out time for bed yeah swami in my case i have sis so boy they seem not to be very dependant in ubuntu but you never know in  your case
[02:21] <cheeseboy> maximal, thatd didnt change anything
[02:21] <Trista> prompt? meaning console right
[02:21] <swami> :(
[02:21] <persica> Trista: yeah.
[02:21] <unagi> do i have to run that from the directory its in?
[02:21] <maximal> cheeseboy: did u reboot after adding it?
[02:21] <hatter> what is the vncviewer for feisty ?
[02:21] <swami> Larry: but how? u just edited the config file? thats it?
[02:21] <lexus_nexis> bye all you linux lovers
[02:21] <persica> Trista: that's the most common way to get a prompt.
[02:21] <Trista> ok
[02:22] <cheeseboy> maximal, yes
[02:22] <Trista> alright
[02:22] <maximal> cheeseboy: try  lsmod | grep nvidia
[02:22] <thespy> so is there any way of keeping / backing up my settings and then restoring them once i've done a clean install of feisty?
[02:22] <cellofellow> What is OpenAL (I think it means Open Audio Layer) and why doesn't it work for some of my games?
[02:22] <Vyacheslav> hey
[02:22] <cheeseboy> maximal, still nothing
[02:23] <Vyacheslav> Would a Soundblaster 16 ISA card work with Ubuntu before I install?
[02:23] <unagi> well it said it installed it
[02:23] <persica> thespy: any of your user-specific settings should be in your home directory.  back that up, including all the hidden dot-files.
[02:23] <maximal> cheeseboy: try  dmesg | grep NV
[02:23] <unagi> but i cant seem to find a shortcut or anything
[02:23] <agn0stic> thespy: you could copy all the directories starting with a . in your home directory to a cd or something, that would save the settings for most progs
[02:24] <swami> Larry: this is how it looks now
[02:24] <Larry> swami - yeah, i just edited the config file.  Make sure you back it up.  PM me maybe i can help.  I'm know expert, but i got it working on my laptop

[02:24] <pha|con> cheeseboy: are you using the drivers from the repo for your card or the ones from nvidia.com?
[02:24] <persica> thespy: Also you might want to get your package list so you can just toss that into an apt-get install to get all your packages back.
[02:24] <persica> thespy: use something like dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ { print $2 }'
[02:25] <cheeseboy> maximal, nothing
[02:25] <swami> Larry: i sent a PM
[02:25] <unagi> ok
[02:25] <unagi> so heres the deal
[02:25] <cheeseboy> pha|con, repo
[02:25] <unagi> after installing it i now have a usr/aw/maya
[02:25] <unagi> how do i run it
[02:25] <maximal> cheeseboy: you should either have the driver loaded or have some error message
[02:25] <cheeseboy> maximal brb
[02:25] <maximal> cheeseboy: try just typing dmesg
[02:26] <unagi> no one knows?
[02:26] <swami> oops
[02:26] <swami> i have to register
[02:26] <pha|con> maximal: what trouble is he having exactly?
[02:26] <pha|con> cheeseboy, i mean
[02:26] <Trista> whats a superGRUB disk
[02:26] <Vyacheslav> Anyone ever run Ubuntu in a virtual machine?
[02:26] <Trista> do i need it
[02:26] <agn0stic> unagi: try typing maya in a terminal? or /usr/aw/maya assuming maya is the program you're trying to run
[02:27] <Larry> swami - I just cut out the ones i didn't want to use
[02:27] <unagi> yea i tried that
[02:27] <unagi> what is the actual file type im trying to run
[02:27] <maximal>  pha|con: He gets the error - Failed to load module wfb FATAL error runing install command for nvidia  failed to load nvidia kernel module
[02:27] <Vyacheslav> how is it unagi
[02:27] <swami> Larry: yeah
[02:27] <Malachi> If I wanted to patch something, how would I get the source? I think it might be in the repositories, a deb-src one.
[02:27] <unagi> how is what?
[02:27] <Vyacheslav> nevermind
[02:27] <swami> but, i donjt have the one i want... thats the problem
[02:27] <Vyacheslav> I thought you said that to my question, sorry.
[02:27] <swami> it has only till 1024*768
[02:27] <maximal> pha|con: when he starts X
[02:27] <swami> but i want 1280*1024
[02:28] <maximal> pha|con: he can't seem to get the nvidia driver loaded
[02:28] <datakid23> is apt-cache search the command to find out what's installed from the command line?
[02:28] <pha|con> maximal: have you had him sudo remove nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules-common
[02:28] <Vyacheslav> bye
[02:28] <ipx> datakid23: no, it will search in the repos that you got
[02:28] <ipx> datakid23: for example, "sudo apt-cache search blabla" will look for any program including "blabla". :)
[02:28] <datakid23> ah! could you enlighten me please? ipx
[02:28] <maximal> pha|con: no - he has just done an apt-get nvidia-glx
[02:29] <ipx> datakid23: well, i have no idea how to do what you want to do, though. :/
[02:29] <datakid23> is there a cli instruction for finding out what is installed?
[02:29] <datakid23> ipx, ah ok, thanks
[02:29] <fisherpri> here goes nothing
[02:30] <Larry> swami - try here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=129379&postcount=21
[02:30] <Larry> that's not up to date at all
[02:31] <Larry> i can probably find a better one
[02:31] <pha|con> maximal: how about glxinfo | grep string
[02:31] <swami> Larry: : :) lemme try that
[02:32] <maximal> pha|con: no - i'm no expert myself, I just happen to have installed quite a few versions of the driver recently
[02:32] <agn0stic> datakid23: dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall will give you a list of installed packages, if that helps
[02:33] <Larry> swami - I know i skipped out on the refresh rate part when i did it.  when i tried knoppix, i had to do that part though
[02:33] <cheeseboy> maximal back
[02:33] <maximal> pha|con: do u know what the wfb is?
[02:34] <pha|con> maximal: framebuffer
[02:34] <pha|con> cheeseboy: in command line type sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules-common
[02:35] <Larry> so.... anyone have any ideas on getting suspend working on a toshiba laptop?  it tries, but locks up before going low-power
[02:35] <pha|con> Larry: you have to compile a kernel to enable certain acpi features for toshiba laptops.  the only solution i found for mine
[02:36] <cheeseboy> pha|con, then what?
[02:36] <sotec_prod> Has anyone gotten their GTA San Andreas to run with wine?
[02:37] <Anarki[> bonjour
[02:37] <Larry> pha|con, can you point me in the direction or give some advice on that.  I'm fairly new.
[02:37] <Larry> i really appreciate the help pointer already
[02:37] <fr500> sotec_prod: why not ask in #wine
[02:37] <pha|con> !kernel | larry
[02:37] <ubotu> larry: 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
[02:37] <sotec_prod> fr500, i never get answers there.
[02:37] <sotec_prod> i'll give it a whirl again
[02:37] <pha|con> cheeseboy: in comand line type sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules-common
[02:38] <sotec_prod> oh, and i'm banned apparently.
[02:38] <Larry> thanks, i'll check it out
[02:38] <fisherpri> mmm text-based install in nice
[02:38] <tele> is there an open-source possiblility to communicate with skipe-people?
[02:38] <Tru7h> I have a quick question. I'm in the terminal trying to get to /media/MINI TD/, but when I type cd /media/MINI TD/ it says it can't find "mini". I've tried MINI_TD and MINI-TD, but it doesn't work. I've confirmed it's there using ls and it shows up in blue.
[02:38] <fisherpri> \
[02:38] <ShackJack> sotec_prod: You should prolly check out the dedicated wine channel...
[02:38] <pha|con> cheeseboy: after that type in glxinfo | grep string
[02:38] <pha|con> cheeseboy: let me know if that gives you any output
[02:38] <sotec_prod> #winehq has me banned for some reason...
[02:39] <cheeseboy> pha|con, Error unable to open display (null)
[02:40] <trend> hello
[02:41] <pha|con> cheeseboy: on which command?
[02:41] <cheeseboy> glxinfo | grep string
[02:41] <trend> are debian packages = ubuntu packages?
[02:41] <pha|con> what about sudo modprobe nvidia
[02:41] <pha|con> trend yes
[02:42] <trend> cool, thanks
[02:42] <tele> is there an open-source possiblility to communicate with skype-people?
[02:42] <pha|con> trend: more often than not, anyway
[02:42] <Larry> pha|con - after readin that, i think it's over my head.
[02:42] <pha|con> tele: skyp makes a client for linux
[02:42] <pha|con> *skype
[02:42] <gonzoism> isn't skype in automatix ?
[02:42] <pha|con> Larry: then you won't be able to get your laptop to sleep properly.  toshiba uses a weird system for their acpi
[02:43] <pha|con> gonzoism: it is, but you can get it directly from skype's website
[02:43] <cheeseboy> pha|con, FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia
[02:43] <pha|con> hmmm
 yes, but skype is closed source ...
[02:43] <pha|con> cheeseboy: is that all the output it gives you?
[02:44] <pianoboy3333> I need to install dansguardian but it requires clamav which breaks my system, so how can I force install dansguardian w/o clamav?
[02:44] <cheeseboy> pha|con, yes
[02:44] <pha|con> cheeseboy: type nano /var/log/Xorg.0.log and look for the first instance of [EE]  towards the end of the file and tell me what that says
[02:45] <pha|con> err, wait, nm
[02:45] <Tru7h> I'm in the terminal trying to get to /media/MINI TD/, but when I type cd /media/MINI TD/ it says it can't find "mini". I've tried MINI_TD and MINI-TD, but it doesn't work. I've confirmed it's there using ls and it shows up in blue.
[02:46] <pha|con> cheeseboy: have your graphics worked since you've installed ubuntu or did this problem suddenly pop up after it had been in use a while?
[02:46] <fisherpri> so i have my gnome desktop set up really nicely in a VM and want to copy it identically to my notebook.. i dont care about local files, just theme/settings/logon screen.. can you copy the /home and /etc foders?
[02:46] <fisherpri> directories"*
[02:47] <Larry> pha|con - thanks for the help.  I'm going to read into that severely before i attempt it.
[02:47] <cheeseboy> pha|con, Failed to load the nvidia kernel module
[02:47] <brk3> hi would someone like to recommend a good rss applet?
[02:47] <ShackJack> fisherpri: I think just the /home/.gnome* directories would do it...
[02:47] <cheeseboy> pha|con, they worked with vesa but on edgy nvidia drivers worked
[02:48] <pha|con> Larry: make sure to back up anything important and that you update your boot list and have the backup kernel there so you can boot from it if neccessary
[02:48] <fisherpri> ah nice thanks bro
[02:48] <pha|con> cheeseboy: you upgraded from edgy to feisty and the nvidia drivers stopped working?
[02:49] <cheeseboy> pha|con, yes but its fresh install
[02:49] <SirKeats> i need to run a .exe to update the bios on my machine. can i use wine to do this or am i going to run into problems?
[02:50] <fisherpri> thats a good question, im curious too
[02:50] <pha|con> cheeseboy: gimme a minute, i'm going to check something
[02:50] <cheeseboy> pha|con, ok
[02:51] <pianoboy3333> I need to install dansguardian but it requires clamav which breaks my system, so how can I force install dansguardian w/o clamav?
[02:51] <fisherpri> does ubuntu integrate updates into the isos as updates come out, or are those CDs the same image as the first release day?  the ones on the site i'm referring to
[02:52] <HomerOS> alguno en castellano?
[02:52] <Tm_T> !es | HomerOS
[02:52] <ubotu> HomerOS: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[02:52] <ShackJack> fisherpri: No, they don't... they stay the same
[02:52] <fisherpri> hablo un pop mas entiendo mucho
[02:52] <fisherpri> poco*
[02:53] <brk3> would someone be able to recommend the best rss client for ubuntu in their opinion?
[02:53] <fisherpri> i'm a google reader fan myself
[02:53] <brk3> hmm google reader
[02:53] <brk3> does it dock to the tray?
[02:53] <pha|con> cheeseboy: type rm -f /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed
[02:53] <fisherpri> no, it runs through a web browser
[02:54] <ShackJack> brk3: In Add/Remove prgrams there's Akregator, but it's KDE...
[02:54] <Grenade> how do I get a program to run on boot. i know it has to be added to the rc.d stuff but how do i add it ?
[02:54] <brk3> ShackJack: yes ive used it in the past but looking for more of a gnome equivalent
[02:54] <fisherpri> do KDE specific apps run on GNOME ever?
[02:54] <LjL-CRT> !boot > Grenade    (Grenade, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:54] <brk3> firedrops: of course!
[02:54] <fisherpri> hehe nick autocomplete's a bitch
[02:54] <pha|con> cheeseboy:  put sudo in front of that last command...sorry.   after that type sudo modprobe nvidia
[02:54] <ShackJack> brk3: How bout Liferea - I've heard good things...
[02:55] <brk3> Grenade: system->prefs->sessions just add it there
[02:55] <dooglus> fisherpri: no KDE specific apps run on GNOME, or they wouldn't be specific to KDE.  But most apps which use the Qt libraries work fine in GNOME.
[02:55] <maximal> pha|con: you think he had nvidia-glx-new installed?
[02:55] <fisherpri> i guess that was a bit of an odd question heh.. mutually exclusive
[02:56] <RoC_MasterMind> ReZound seems broken out of the box...it won't play any sound...it seems like it could be a sound server issue, but I don't see a Preferences/Options plce anywhere in the menus, and it was broken as soon as I installed it..I know it works, i've used it on KNOPPIX...does this error look familiar to anyone?  http://image.bayimg.com/ca/ce/ea/ab/c.jpg
[02:56] <fisherpri> my hp is at 63% of the 2nd install phase.. alternate cd seems to be working very well
[02:56] <gonzoism> yall stop making fun of me.
[02:56] <pha|con> maximal: it seems like he might have
[02:57] <cheeseboy> pha|con, same error from modprobe
[02:57] <brk3> gonzoism: im sure noones making fun of you
[02:57] <pha|con> okay
[02:57] <BrMiHi08> can I get a bit of help with xampp?
[02:57] <pha|con> cheeseboy: download the x86 linux driver from nvidia.com
[02:57] <brk3> ShackJack: liferea seems great :) thanks
[02:57] <pha|con> cheeseboy: let me know when it's done downloading
[02:57] <cheeseboy> pha|con, can i get wget link?
[02:58] <maximal> pha|con: is it worth him doing a sudo depmod -a ?
[02:58] <pha|con> hold on
[02:58] <fisherpri> google should release a linux distro
[02:58] <fisherpri> chockfulla google tools
[02:58] <gonzoism> brk3 they better not be....
[02:58] <pha|con> maximal: wouldn't hurt
[02:58] <MISTERTibbs> fisherpri, i suspect they plan to in the near future
[02:58] <pha|con> cheeseboy: type sudo depmod -a and then sudo modprobe nvidia
[02:58] <brk3> gonzoism: why what are you gonna do
[02:59] <gonzoism> i'll cry....
[02:59] <BrMiHi08> I need help with xampp in ubuntu.

[03:01] <brk3> Grenade: or just run gnome-session-properties
[03:01] <Grenade> i dont even have a system option
[03:01] <Grenade> ok
[03:01] <navets_> RoC_MasterMind: i did but nothing happens
[03:01] <Pelo> Grenade,  make a desktop launcher and move it to  /home/user/.config/autostart
[03:02] <Grenade> no idea how to do that
[03:02] <brk3> Grenade: my ways easier :)
[03:03] <Pelo> Grenade, right click on your desktop,   select make a new launcher ( or something similar if you are running kubuntu) ,  enter the program info you need ,  then drag it to  ...
[03:03] <Pelo> Grenade,  are you using ubuntu or kubuntu ?
[03:03] <brk3> Pelo: why not just let him try my way first
[03:03] <Grenade> brk3. so this way will get ntp to load on boot even though no one is logged in
[03:03] <Grenade> ubuntu
[03:03] <Pelo> brk3, he's free to do so
[03:03] <brk3> Grenade: no sorry then you need to add it to rc. whatever
[03:04] <fisherpri> if this notebook boots up and the hardware works, i'm officially cursing ms forever
[03:05] <analfabeta> hi, how can i add ubuntu in grub config ? i add manually, but dont boot.
[03:05] <Pelo> fisherpri, you might need to do a little tweaking but there isnT' any reason it shouldn'T work unless you hve some very weird hardware
[03:05] <cheeseboy> pha|con, now what?
[03:05] <Pelo> analfabeta, ubuntu should have installed it,s own version of grub when you installed it
[03:06] <Pelo> !grub | analfabeta
[03:06] <ubotu> analfabeta: 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
[03:06] <analfabeta> Pelo: i dont want ubuntu grub instalation, i want a other from other linux box.
[03:06] <testify> Can anyone tell me why there isn't a WPA option listed in my network-manager-gnome?
[03:06] <pha|con> cheeseboy: in the directory that has the file type chmod +x NVIDIA*.run
[03:06] <Pelo> analfabeta,  the info in those links should help , or try asking in #grub
[03:07] <Pelo> testify,  try the forum
[03:07] <BrMiHi08> Can anyone help me with xampp in ubuntu?
[03:07] <analfabeta> Pelo: ubuntu have some in root option, some with UID. what is?
[03:07] <pha|con> cheeseboy: then type cp NVIDIA-<version info>pkg1/usr/X11R6/lib/modules /usr/lib/xorg/modules/
[03:07] <dooglus> how can I erase a re-writable CD?
[03:07] <Pelo> testify,  you'Re not the first one to mention it
[03:07] <fisherpri> nope, no bizzare HD but HP feels its too high tech for XP so idk
[03:07] <cheeseboy> pha|con, ??
[03:07] <Pelo> analfabeta, uuid is an identifier for a partition  incase you change the hdd setup
[03:07] <testify> I've looked at wpasupplicant, but the articles on it are a bit old.
[03:08] <Pelo> !uuid | analfabeta
[03:08] <ubotu> analfabeta: 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)
[03:08] <pha|con> cheeseboy: yes?
[03:08] <testify> thought it might be more automated for fiesty
[03:08] <cheeseboy> the whole file name?
[03:08] <Pelo> !hardware | fisherpri   try looking up your model in here
[03:08] <ubotu> fisherpri   try looking up your model in here: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:08] <pha|con> cheeseboy: <version-info> should be whatever version you downloaded
[03:08] <fisherpri> the moment of truth!!
[03:08] <Pelo> testify, it's getting better,  just not perfect yet
[03:08] <fisherpri> 1st b00t
[03:08] <pha|con> type ls before you run the command so you can copy it from the filename
[03:08] <Pelo> fisherpri,  best of luck
[03:08] <cheeseboy> pha|con, just hit tab?
[03:09] <fisherpri> ooo so far so good
[03:09] <pha|con> cheeseboy: whaver is easiest for you
[03:09] <maximal> cheeseboy: file name completion - very useful that tab!
[03:09] <pha|con> *whatever
[03:09] <fisherpri> it didnt freak out and do the video thing!
[03:09] <fisherpri> and it's actually loading
[03:09] <fisherpri> i <3 ubuntu
[03:09] <fisherpri> lets see if the drivers work tho.. (sorry for this, i'm being lame but i'm excited)
[03:10] <fisherpri> haha i've been for awhile
[03:10] <fisherpri> this machine just sealed the deal
[03:10] <pha|con> <monty burns> Excellent </monty burns>
[03:10] <Pelo> fisherpri, donT' worry about it,  it's a nice change from all the bitching about nvdia /ati driver and wifi problems
[03:10] <fisherpri> perhaps i spoke too soon.. it's just sitting at 50% full at the floodbar screen
[03:11] <cheeseboy> pha|con, no such file or directory
[03:11] <dooglus> how can I erase a re-writable CD?  I tried burning an iso to it, but it didn't work, so I want to try again, but I'm being told the CD isn't empty.
[03:11] <pha|con> cheeseboy: type ls
[03:11] <fisherpri> i'm sure i'll experience wifi problems too
[03:11] <pha|con> is the file there?
[03:11] <wingy_dingy> is there an easy way to remove dnscahce?
[03:11] <Pelo> dooglus,  try using  gnomebaker or k3b
[03:11] <dooglus> Pelo: I'm using ubuntu
[03:11] <cheeseboy> pha|con, yes
[03:11] <fisherpri> yeh it's not really going anywhere.. getting nurrvous
[03:12] <Pelo> dooglus,  gnomebaker then  you might have to install it   sudo apt-get install gnomebaker
[03:12] <pha|con> copy the name of the files exactly when you type the command in
[03:12] <Pelo> fisherpri,  deep breaths,  wait a while and then try the recovery mode
[03:12] <dooglus> Pelo: that's not supported, I don't think.
[03:12] <cheeseboy> pha|con,  /usr/X11R6/lib/modules doesnt exist
[03:12] <larson9999> fisherpri, happens to me sometimes.  sites and sits forever.  i reboot and boot to recover. after it boots i reboot into the one i want.
[03:13] <pianoboy3333> I need to install dansguardian but it requires clamav which breaks my system, so how can I force install dansguardian w/o clamav using apt?
[03:13] <Pelo> dooglus,  I just check there is an  erase cd-rw  command in tools
[03:13] <tonsofpcs> I am using nautilus ftp copying, its been stuck on a 2 KB file for 45 minutes now, and it won't cancel.  How should I properly kill it?
[03:13] <fisherpri> come on girl, boot
[03:13] <pha|con> cheeseboy: i'm at a loss then...
[03:13] <hatter> i want to change the default behaviour of where gnome opens windows in the center of the screen, does anyone know how to ?
[03:13] <Pelo> tonsofpcs, try the system monitor
[03:13] <ingo_> i am looking for a mail-notifier for thunderbird ... how can i do it?
[03:13] <mouseclone> hello everyone
[03:14] <larson9999> pha|con, he really need to install from the binary?
[03:14] <Pelo> hatter,  you can probably do that with devilspie  , check the forum for instructions,  devilspie is in the repos
[03:14] <mouseclone> anyone ran accross gdm[4468] : Couldn't open session for username before in the auth.log?
[03:14] <hatter> pelo, thx i will check it out
[03:14] <dooglus> Pelo: what is the erase cd-rw command?
[03:14] <pha|con> larson9999: i'm assuming he wants the 3d
[03:14] <pha|con> larson9999:  he says vesa works
[03:14] <Pelo> dooglus,  it's a command in gnomebaker , install gnomebaker
[03:15] <larson9999> pha|con, why not the packages, automatix, or the restricted modules dealie/
[03:15] <pha|con> larson9999: i don't even use the ubuntu binary, i use the one from nvidia.com
[03:15] <Pelo> mouseclone,  try searching for the error msg in the forum  www.ubuntuforums.com
[03:15] <bruenig> !automatix | larson9999
[03:15] <ubotu> larson9999: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[03:15] <dooglus> Pelo: isn't there a proper way to do it?  like with 'main' packages?
[03:15] <shadowhywind> hay all, having a werid problem, every cd i put in, it will play the first 6 seconds, freeze for a second, and then play the next 6 seconds and freeze again... any ideas?
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> If I copy my Ubuntu /home folder to my other computer running Ubuntu will that move all programs and settings
[03:15] <fisherpri> knoppix is bound to boot right?
[03:15] <mouseclone> Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.  I would not have came in here if i had not atleast googled it first.. thx though
[03:16] <Pelo> dooglus, man cdrecord
[03:16] <pha|con> larson9999: aside from automatix, the other two are one and the same....unless youre installing from nvidia's .run you have to have the restricted driver's package.  he has both.
[03:16] <ingo_> which imap-mail-notifier do you use??
[03:16] <pha|con> larson9999: er, not one and the same, but linked
[03:16] <Pelo> ingo_,  I like gnubiff
[03:16] <ingo_> pelo: i try it - thx!
[03:17] <MISTERTibbs>   Jack_Sparrow : no that won't work
[03:17] <fisherpri> hey pelo, if i need to boot into the recovery mode, is there a key i hit or do i need to reboot from the cd?
[03:17] <larson9999> bruenig, yeah so they say.  i bet you it breaks less than having newbies install outside the package manager manually.
[03:17] <pha|con> larson9999: something got really effed up somewhere, and he says it's a fresh install.  my only other advice would be to format and try again.
[03:17] <MISTERTibbs> !Automatix

[03:17] <bruenig> larson9999, I don't think so
[03:17] <dooglus> Pelo: heheh, nice one.  "man cdrecord" only mentions 'erase' once, and that is in a sentence which cannot be parsed :)
[03:17] <MISTERTibbs> !WorksForMe
[03:17] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[03:18] <Pelo> fisherpri, it should be available in the boot menu , you might need to hit esc to get it to slow down
[03:18] <larson9999> pha|con, just was curious why have a newb install outside the package manager... if there was a real reason.
[03:18] <bruenig> larson9999, you set up these "they" as if "they" is some sort of theorizing skeptics. The flaws are readily apparent.
[03:18] <Pelo> dooglus,  just install gnomebaker , make your life easy
[03:18] <pha|con> larson9999: because there isn't anything difficult about typing sudo apt-get install packagename
[03:18] <fisherpri> found it! thanks =] 
[03:18] <pha|con> larson9999:  if they've managed to get ubuntu installed they can do that

[03:19] <dooglus> Pelo: I'm trying to use ubuntu main packages only, to find out what's missing
[03:19] <larson9999> pha|con, i was talking about having him run nv*run.
[03:19] <dooglus> Pelo: 'main' is supposed to be enough to carry out common tasks isn't it?
[03:20] <fisherpri> hmm i cant even get the recovery console to boot
[03:20] <fisherpri> does anyone know if the turon x2 64bit is supported in ubuntu 7.04?
[03:20] <Pelo> dooglus, erasing a cd-rw is not a common task for me , nor for most ppl I think , the point is to get all you need easily,  you can add gnomebaker easily ,
[03:20] <bruenig> dooglus, main is maintained specifically be devs, that is the distinction
[03:20] <pha|con> larson9999: because the repo binaries weren't working.  and i wasn't having him run it i was having him extract files from it
[03:20] <pha|con> speaking of which
[03:20] <Pelo> dooglus,  doesnT' mean everything had to be on the orignial cd

[03:21] <larson9999> bruenig, maybe but i have a group of about 12 non techie types i've introduced to ubuntu and most if not all used it to install  the nvidia drivers with no issues.  anyway was just curious.
[03:21] <Pelo> DigitalNinja,  this is it
[03:21] <fisherpri> you're in it
[03:21] <DigitalNinja> Oh
[03:21] <pha|con> cheeseboy: you still there?
[03:21] <bruenig> larson9999, well I certainly would install nvidia using package management, not automatix though
[03:21] <DigitalNinja> I thought there was one for tech support only

[03:22] <MISTERTibbs> !#ubuntu
[03:22] <cheeseboy> pha|con,  whats package i need to compile something?
[03:22] <ubotu> Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com
[03:23] <pha|con> did you executle the NVIDIA*.run -x command successfully?
[03:23] <bruenig> phixxor, dvdstyler is what I have used to do that before, you need to make sure all the video files are dvd complaint mpegs though
[03:23] <larson9999> bruenig, well, since feisty the restricted package manager seems to be working for the 2 or 3 newest folks.
[03:23] <SirKeats> my bios doesn't have any APM features and i'd like to suspend my computer after X period of time
[03:23] <SirKeats> ubuntu only offers me a sleep mode which shuts the box down entirely
[03:23] <SirKeats> any suggestions?
[03:23] <ShackJack> Hi - the video seems to crap out before I get to the login screen and pressing Ctrl-Alt-Esc doesn't bring me to the command line... Is there a way to load with alternate drivers or boot from live CD to install alternate driver on system?
[03:24] <fisherpri> hey pelo, i think i've concluded that it's definitely hardware support.. this machine wont boot any form of ubuntu
[03:24] <cheeseboy> whats package i need to compile something?
[03:24] <bruenig> larson9999, that is package management, same as add/remove synaptic, apt-get, auto codec, we have like seven front ends for apt-get, easier for newbs I guess is what they say, seems confusing though
[03:24] <jrib> !alternate > ShackJack (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:24] <Pelo> fisherpri,  you got throught the installation ok ? with the live cd  ?
[03:24] <pha|con> cheesboy:  you don't need to compile something....when you run NVIDIA*.run -x  does it make a directory ?
[03:24] <phixxor> bruenig - hmm, so if my videos are around 300 mb now (mpeg4 divx or something) and I want to make them dvd compliant, what size generally will they come too?

[03:25] <bruenig> phixxor, not certain, you can use a program such as devede to specifically decide how big they will be
[03:25] <ShackJack> CCan something be added to the command line on bootup?
[03:25] <pha|con> wtf with the bot help?
[03:25] <fisherpri> no thats what i'm trying to boot right now
[03:25] <jrib> ShackJack: ctrl-alt-f1 should get you to a tty, or use recovery mode

[03:25] <ShackJack> jrib: ctral alt f1 does nto do it - but recorvery mode uses alt video driver i wonder?
[03:25] <bruenig> ShackJack, /etc/rc.local
[03:26] <bruenig> phixxor, it is something that says just to make the mpeg
[03:26] <jrib> ShackJack: recovery mode will drop you into a root shell, no X
[03:26] <pha|con> yeah, but one after the other after the other?
[03:26] <xcd> hi guys, my swap partition has changed from what it originally was at installation, how can i mount the new swap?
[03:26] <phixxor> bruenig, but once devede kicks out the videos, I can use dvdstyler to make a default menu?
[03:26] <phixxor> and then burn
[03:26] <bruenig> phixxor, right
[03:26] <Pelo> fisherpri,  did you lookup your laptop model in the forum and in the hardware list ? there might be some instrucions in there
[03:26] <ShackJack> jrib: O.K. seems ctrl alt f1 should do the same but it's just blank screen...
[03:26] <ingo_> pelo: how can i dock gnubiff to the menu-bar & how can i configure the check-time??
[03:26] <ShackJack> bruenig: Thanx can you elaborate
[03:26] <phixxor> nice, ok, I hope it's in the repos
[03:26] <ShackJack> ?
[03:26] <jrib> ShackJack: try recovery mode option from the grub menu
[03:26] <fisherpri> i didn't actually.. any good place to start the search?
[03:26] <bruenig> ShackJack, add whatever command you want to be run in /etc/rc.local
[03:27] <bruenig> ShackJack, above the exit, note that it executes the thing as root so don't use sudo obviously
[03:27] <Pelo> ingo_,  after the install  you can add to pannel , and in the preference when you setup your account you can specify the interval,  in the detailed configureation
[03:27] <larson9999> bruenig, it's like alien and checkstall imo.  i've been using both forever on all sorts of machines.  yet, people are constantly telling me they are dangerous.
[03:27] <SirKeats> power management anyone? suspend mode for ubuntu?
[03:27] <maximal> cheeseboy: how is it going?
[03:27] <bruenig> larson9999, alien is extremely dangerous, check install is not at all
[03:27] <SirKeats> i'd love to be able to suspend my box.
[03:27] <c_lisp> whats a good torrent for gnome on ubuntu?
[03:27] <apache2> ...... IS there anyway to lock certain packages from being upgraded OTHER THAN using synaptics? I want to be able to block packages so I can still update my system on the command line
[03:28] <larson9999> bruenig, see?  :)
[03:28] <ShackJack> bruenig: mmm... not sure that's answering the question I asked, but I think recovery mode is the way to go..
[03:28] <Pelo> SirKeats, follow the link at the bottom of  the screensaver dialog , that's the best I can do for you, or check in the forum
[03:28] <jrib> c_lisp: gnome bittorrent?  it comes with ubuntu by default
[03:28] <tucci>  I'm having a dependency problem - I need lipxpcom.so and I can't find it anywhere. Any help?
[03:28] <jrib> tucci: why?  what are you trying to do?
[03:28] <bruenig> larson9999, checkinstall is just a script that basically runs make install DESTDIR=/some/fake/root/directory and then builds the deb conventionally
[03:28] <phixxor> c_lisp, you mean client? I'd go with bittornado, but It's your choice
[03:28] <bruenig> larson9999, there is no see? we are talking open source, you can see what it does

[03:31] <apache2> jrib: I'll check it out thanks
[03:31] <bruenig> Chemical, they have merged, better is subjective, beryl has more stuff and is more flashy but is said to be less table
[03:31] <mattycoze> Chemical I think beryls heaps better than compiz
[03:31] <madman91> my dads ubuntu installation seems to stop the boot process once it reaches the mounting stage.. it stops having only mounted the / .. it then gives the user a command prompt.. from which I can mount /home .. but it is odd that it is doing so.. any ideas?
[03:31] <Pelo> Chemical,  it's a mute point now they have merged
[03:31] <Frogzoo_> Chemical: beryl has more bling, and is less stable
[03:31] <Chemical> oh ok
[03:31] <Frogzoo_> Pelo: gutsy will still have separate compiz/beryl

[03:36] <timon> can someone tell me, how i move "tahoma.ttf" which is on my desktop to the fonts of wine=?
[03:37] <Pelo> madman91,  did you try booting the recovery mode ?
[03:37] <dooglus> bruenig: try 'screen -r' in a new terminal afterwards
[03:37] <tucci> "error while loading shared libraries: libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" - can someone help me find libxpcom.so
[03:37] <bronze> timon, it's easy. You make sure you have it in "copy" or "cut".
[03:37] <bruenig> I think it was screen, it may have been something else, I don't have screen on this box though nor is it in the repos
[03:37] <timon> can someone tell me, how i move "tahoma.ttf" which is on my desktop to the fonts of wine=?
[03:37] <dooglus> !info screen

[03:37] <hyphenex> Hi.  I'm thinking of using Ubuntu server as my distro for a web server.  where can I find a list of packages that will be installed with the latest Ubuntu server?
[03:37] <dooglus> it's in main
[03:37] <bruenig> the repos for this box
[03:37] <Pelo> timon,   the wine font folder is in  /home/user/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts , I think
[03:38] <dooglus> it's in the repos for all ubuntu boxen
[03:38] <bruenig> oh what do you know, it was recently added
[03:38] <bruenig> I am not on ubuntu
[03:38] <bronze> and then: go to your personal home folder with your browser, and make sure you can watch hidden folders, and enter wine/c_drive/windows/fonts
[03:38] <dooglus> which distro are you using?
[03:38] <larson9999> bruenig, i think it's fud since i've personally installed automatix2 on a couple dozen machines.  i'll believe it when it breaks on me.  choice, the joy of linux!
[03:38] <bronze> the ubuntu binding for "view hidden folders" is ctrl+h
[03:39] <cakos> hi there
[03:39] <Biscuitian_Warhe> I need some help setting up nfs and getting it to work with a mac, i followed the wiki and it's a no go so far
[03:39] <pha|con> larson9999: it's not automatix that breaks the machines it's how it installs the apps.
[03:39] <SirKeats> pelo: no go on help from the forums.  lots of talk on laptop issues but none about my problem. i guess the first question should be: should i have a standby option in power management?
[03:39] <bruenig> larson9999, it is open source, you can see where the issues are. There are times where package conflicts occur, it picks the first solution doesn't tell you what it has done and you have no idea where your stuff has gone
[03:39] <SirKeats> because i currently do not
[03:39] <cakos> is this a good place to ask for soft advice?
[03:40] <madman91> where can i get the current boot log ?
[03:40] <madman91> the most recent*
[03:40] <madman91> on my computer
[03:40] <dooglus> cakos: this is a good place for flaky advice.  I expect we can give soft advice too.
[03:40] <uberushaximus> /var/log?
[03:40] <madman91> uberushaximus: thanks
[03:40] <Frogzoo_> Biscuitian_Warhe: can you mount the share on the local box through nfs?
[03:40] <Pelo> SirKeats,  if you do not see it  , assume it is not available for your system
[03:40] <cakos> doogle: ok thanks
[03:40] <Biscuitian_Warhe> Frogzoo_ : h/o lemm try
[03:41] <timon> so i had to type "mv /user/desktop/tahoma.ttf /home/user/.wine/windows/drive_c/fonts ?
[03:41] <Pelo> SirKeats,   stanby/suspend/hibernate is tricky in linux anyway, and not wholy reliable
[03:41] <cakos> here is my question: do you know any email client that handle multi accounts and save everything is a few files..easy to move around type.
[03:41] <madman91> uberushaximus: "nothing has yet to be recorded" or something
[03:41] <madman91> uberushaximus: this is on a computer that had an error while booting
[03:42] <mike3_> yawn, what's up boys
[03:42] <madman91> there is nothing in my /var/log/boot .. and i need to know the cause of my boot errors on the other comp
[03:42] <Pelo> cakos,  with all linux progs your files are saved in /home/user ,  should be easy enough to find the proper folder in there and back it up
[03:42] <Wips> An alternative to Photoshop for Ubuntu, anyone? :)
[03:42] <jrib> tucci: still there?  celtx is working over here
[03:43] <uberushaximus> Wips: GIMP?
[03:43] <Pelo> Wips, gimp
[03:43] <uberushaximus> !gimp
[03:43] <ubotu> gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information.
[03:43] <timon> so i had to type "mv /user/desktop/tahoma.ttf /home/user/.wine/windows/drive_c/fonts ?
[03:43] <mike3_> Wips, is a gimp. =)
[03:43] <mike3_> !gimp
[03:43] <cakos> Pelo, thanks.. I would look for something stored in one file if possible...any ideas?
[03:43] <gravemind> bruenig: sorry for being dense, but is there a way to just have a default menu?
[03:43] <jrib> timon: that doesn't look right, you probably want: mv ~/Desktop/tahoma.ttf ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/       and note capitalization is important
[03:44] <bruenig> gravemind, what are you talking about
[03:44] <Wips> but Gimp is so different...
[03:44] <cakos> or at least a file per account...
[03:44] <timon> what comes before /Desktop/ ? What is the place of Desktop?
[03:44] <gravemind> bruenig: on the dvd, just a list of all the videos so I can go to any of them
[03:44] <tatters> Any application in repos that can allow me to remote desktop my PC through a web browser instead of a  shell,?
[03:44] <Pelo> timon,   mv ~/Desktop/tahoma.tff ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/
[03:44] <bruenig> gravemind, don't think so
[03:44] <jrib> timon: huh?
[03:44] <tucci> jrib: nothing happens if I click on the binary, and opening it in terminal gives me " error while loading shared libraries: libxpcom.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[03:44] <uberushaximus> Wips, there is gimpship
[03:44] <uberushaximus> *gimpshop
[03:44] <gravemind> bruenig: how do I make the menu then?
[03:44] <jrib> tucci: are you executing:  ./celtx
[03:44] <bruenig> gravemind, just click around and stuff
[03:45] <gravemind> lol

[03:50] <hyphenex> uberushaximus: And there all on there?
[03:50] <jrib> tucci: I installed libmozjs-dev for that I believe
[03:50] <uberushaximus> should be, I don't see why not
[03:50] <hyphenex> uberushaximus: Where can I find a list of stuff on the Server CD?

[03:51] <derekubuntu> @ pelo I would like to make it stop installing/crashing everytime apt-get is run.
[03:51] <uberushaximus> yup
[03:51] <hyphenex> Thanks
[03:51] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, not sure what it is called, but I think it is sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager stop
[03:51] <jrib> hyphenex: you may want to try #ubuntu-server
[03:51] <hyphenex> Ahh, okies, will try there jrib
[03:51] <Pelo> derekubuntu,  oh,  you mean it keeps tryting to install even if you donT' want it to ? ok , not problem   sudo apt-get remove vmware , should remove the stuff that's half installed
[03:52] <tucci> jrib: I found libmozjs-dev in Synaptic, but I tried installing it and it wants to remove firefox (and some other stuff) to do so
[03:52] <tucci> jrib: is that okay?
[03:52] <jrib> tucci: it shouldn't need to remove firefox
[03:52] <derekubuntu> @ pelo, but everything IS installed, for some reason it thinks it failed, I don't want to uninstall it since it is working just fine, even the ethernet manager.
[03:52] <dooglus> hyphenex: try asking in #ubuntu-server.  nobody here seems to know

[03:53] <tucci> jrib: well.. Synaptic seems to think otherwise - is there a way to override it or a different way to install it?
[03:53] <jrib> tucci: pastebin the output you get from apt-get

[04:02] <jrib> CppIsWeird: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/24/disable-synaptics-touchpad/ is good too
[04:03] <Pelo> adamorjames, did you look in the forum ? I donT' think you'll get an answer here atm, the channel seems thin on wifi experts
[04:04] <adamorjames> Okay, Pelo.
[04:05] <Echoside> Anyone know of any opensource streaming software? I want to start a internet radio stream but cant find any decent program.
[04:06] <Pelo> Echoside,  did you check in synaptic ,  search for streaming  see what comes up
[04:06] <hatter> anyone know of a more advanced terminal client that lets you manage multiple servers ?
[04:06] <dougsko> Echoside: icecast is good for streams like that
[04:07] <dougsko> hatter: screen
[04:07] <dougsko> maybe anyway, im not totally clear on what you really mean
[04:07] <Echoside> Thanks Pelo and dougsko i'll check them out.
[04:07] <hatter> dougsko, screen is good for one server, i mean like putty,
[04:07] <Pelo> hatter,  try looking up terminal and consol in synaptic
[04:08] <dougsko> hatter: with screen, you can run multiple shells in one terminal
[04:08] <milllmannn> ok, my first time using vi... why cant I type?
[04:08] <ant-> !vim
[04:08] <ubotu> Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) | Terminal-based editors: vi/vim, emacs, and nano (user-friendly). | HTML/CSS editors: !html | Programming: !code
[04:08] <milllmannn> i cant type in letters... im sure its something because im a total newbie
[04:09] <Pelo> milllmannn,  I think vi needs to be run as root
[04:09] <hatter> dougsko, putty is still nicer to manage them with , IMHO
[04:09] <milllmannn> well, i can delete characters, but i cant add characters
[04:09] <jrib> milllmannn: press ESCAPE and type :q! and then run 'vimtutor'
[04:09] <dougsko> milllmannn: use vim, and before you use it, run 'vimtutor'
[04:09] <ant-> milllmannn, no you just have to go from viewer mode to insert mode
[04:09] <milllmannn> how do i go to insert mode?
[04:09] <milllmannn> i cant hit esc.. it does nothing
[04:10] <dougsko> milllmannn: 'i'
[04:10] <ant-> jrib told you
[04:10] <jrib> milllmannn: follow it with :q! ...
[04:10] <dougsko> vimtutor ftw
[04:10] <dougsko> hatter: im really not sure what your talking about. putty is an ssh client
[04:11] <milllmannn> vimtutor is a tutor on how to use vi i am guessing?
[04:11] <dougsko> its an interactice tutorial on vim
[04:11] <hatter> dougsko, yes.  i am speaking of having multiple servers managed which are at different ip addresses, some with tunnels, which you can attach to a name in a window
[04:11] <hatter> like putty does
[04:11] <mattycoze> hey does anyone know how to fix broken packages?
[04:12] <dougsko> hatter: eterm + screen = happiness
[04:12] <ant-> i love eterm
[04:12] <hatter> dougsko, thanks i will check eterm
[04:13] <bruenig> mattycoze, be specific
[04:13] <dougsko> i use eterm at home, but for some reason, its transparency crashes X on my freebsd box. so i use aterm here. they might as well be the same program though to be honest
[04:14] <jrib> milllmannn: yep, it's great
[04:14] <mattycoze> bruenig i've tried installing Beryl after i've taken it off, net cut out halfway between the install and i've been getting that E: Broken Packages error message all the time
[04:14] <gravemind> hey guys, I realized that having a 64 bit processor is no good if you only have a 32 bit os, so how can I install the 64 bit version but not take over grub from the 32 bit ubuntu (I already have a boot partition)
[04:14] <bruenig> mattycoze, sudo apt-get install -f
[04:15] <jrib> mattycoze: read carefully what apt wants to do, sometimes it is stupid
[04:15] <kitche> gravemind: well there is no real difference between 32bit and 64bit right now most applications can't even use 64bit to it's fullest yet
[04:16] <dougsko> gravemind: if you just go ahead and install it, grub will make room
[04:16] <mattycoze> jrib, bruenig http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27210/
[04:16] <bruenig> mattycoze, there appears to be no problem
[04:16] <gravemind> kitche: I'm making lots of dvds, I thought 64 bit would make them convert video, etc, faster
[04:17] <dougsko> gravemind: no, 64 bits just allows for more memory addresses
[04:17] <mattycoze> kk hang on i'll see what happens when i go "sudo apt-get install beryl"
[04:17] <dougsko> gravemind: it doesnt have anything to do with computing power
[04:17] <mattycoze> same problem; http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27212/
[04:17] <milllmannn> how do i save from vi?
[04:17] <dougsko> ZZ
[04:18] <dougsko> or :wq
[04:18] <jrib> well taht saves and exits
[04:18] <bruenig> mattycoze, sudo apt-get install beryl-plugins beryl-manager
[04:18] <dougsko> ok, :w
[04:18] <bruenig> mattycoze, sudo apt-get install beryl-plugins beryl-settings
[04:18] <milllmannn> :w to save?
[04:18] <bruenig> :w = write
[04:18] <jrib> milllmannn: but you really should run vimtutor if you want to use vim, asking in #ubuntu, how do I do X in vim, will not work very well
[04:19] <milllmannn> i know, i am just trying to get ssh set up so i dont have to do it though this
[04:19] <jrib> milllmannn: why don't you use nano then?
[04:19] <mattycoze> lol okay - basically the same thing's happening, is there like a whole lot of things I need to go through and install?
[04:19] <jrib> mattycoze: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[04:19] <milllmannn> so what do i type in to get to the point where i type :w?
[04:19] <mattycoze> kk
[04:20] <jrib> mattycoze: ESCAPE puts you back in command mode
[04:20] <dougsko> milllmannn: theres also online help inside vim. you can type something like, :h save, to get help on saving
[04:20] <hatter> hmmm,  the eterm installed but there doesnt appear to be a binary for it anywhere
[04:20] <JMak642> can anyone tell me where synaptic stores packages it downloads?  i need to copy one onto another machine
[04:20] <jrib> JMak642: /var/cache/apt/archives/
[04:20] <dougsko> hatter: Eterm (capital e)
[04:20] <milllmannn> ok cool, it worked thanks!
[04:20] <hatter> dougsko, ah.
[04:20] <JMak642> jrib: thanks man
[04:20] <mattycoze> my sources.list file; http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27213/
[04:20] <hatter> man eterm works though :)
[04:21] <hatter> but that did it , thx
[04:21] <gravemind> dougsko: whoa
[04:21] <jrib> milllmannn: I'm pretty sure deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/ debian-unstable beryl-svn is the cause of your problems
[04:21] <gravemind> dougsko: that means compile times in 64 bit and in 32 bit would take the same about of time
[04:21] <hatter> oohh, Eterm is pretty by default :)
[04:22] <dougsko> gravemind: yeah i guess. it really has nothing to do with it
[04:22] <gravemind> whoa
[04:23] <Trippen> Can someone please help me with my xserver gnome fawn 32 problem the moniter keeps going idle after 20 minutes i have it set to go off never this is a real pain when watching a movie as i have to wake it again with the mouse ???
[04:23] <dougsko> hatter: this is the eterm i use at home: {Eterm -T //Ganon// --scrollbar no --buttonbar no -O -f white --font-fx none -g 120x20+255+187 -P none --shade 70
[04:23] <dougsko> (minus that first curly bracket)
[04:24] <Pelo> Trippen,  menu> system > prefs > power management or something ,  put everthing at never , and do the same in the screen saver
[04:24] <kitche> gravemind: x86_64 just passes compiling between the two processors if you have it setup correctly which can make it seem faster compiling since one processor can be parallel compiling
[04:24] <Trippen> Pelo,  i have done that.. and it still goes idle
[04:24] <jrib> Trippen: if you just want to disable it when you watch the movie, you can do: gnome-screensaver-command -i
[04:24] <Pelo> Trippen, something on your mobo maybe ?
[04:24] <gaten> im having trouble w/ my wireless card and feisty. iwconfig can see the card, but 'sudo ifup ath0' recieves no DHCP offers. ive read through most of the wifi docs, and still no go. anyone help? the card works with other livecds
[04:24] <Pelo> Trippen,  in your bios I mean
[04:24] <Trippen> jrib,  will that disable it forever..
[04:25] <Trippen> Pelo, no its not onboard video..
[04:25] <jrib> Trippen: only until you press ctrl-c
[04:25] <astomper> Is if difficult to set up a static network?
[04:25] <dougsko> not at all. thats what i have
[04:25] <JMak642> can i copy the complete contents of the /var/cache/apt directory to another computer w/o it causing an issue?
[04:26] <astomper> dougsko: so you would recommend if I have 3 computers and 2 printers hooked to network?
[04:26] <jrib> JMak642: shouldn't be a problem if it's the same version of ubuntu, but have you heard of apt-zip?
[04:26] <mattycoze> sooo...
[04:27] <mattycoze> i dunno what to do with the whole instalation problem
[04:27] <dougsko> astomper: i did it because i wanted static IPs and dont really like DHCP all that much. but even with DHCP you can have static IPs for some MAC addresses. its really just personal preference
[04:27] <jrib> mattycoze: I'm pretty sure deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/ debian-unstable beryl-svn is the cause of your problems
[04:27] <fisherpri> hmm this machine sucks
[04:27] <fisherpri> now i cant even put vista back on to find out the hard ware
[04:27] <Pelo> mattycoze,  did you try asking in #beryl for help on this ?
[04:27] <fisherpri> knoppix wouldn't load either
[04:27] <dougsko> astomper: no matter what, id give your printers static IPs though
[04:27] <hatter> dougsko, //ganon - windows box with cygwin ?
[04:27] <astomper> dougsko: ok, were there any problems that you ran into that you can give me a heads up on?
[04:28] <Pelo> fisherpri, try looking up hte model on the hp site,  threr should be a specs sheet on there somewhere
[04:28] <mattycoze> Pelo yeah i did try already but they couldn't help
[04:28] <dougsko> hatter: the -T switch just sets the title of the window. its really not needed
[04:28] <fisherpri> i tried, it's a custom machine
[04:28] <fisherpri> no information anywhere
[04:28] <Pelo> mattycoze,  maybe you can'T be helped
[04:28] <mattycoze> jrib okay i'll take that out - some guy in #beryl suggested that one
[04:28] <mattycoze> lol thanks...
[04:28] <fisherpri> i even called sanjoli in bumbai and he refused to tell me what hardware is in my machine
[04:28] <fisherpri> said its a policy
[04:29] <Pelo> fisherpri,  do you hve your invoice anywhere ?
[04:29] <CppIsWeird> what is an app that compares two text files?
[04:29] <JMak642> no, not heard of apt-zip
[04:29] <fisherpri> i do
[04:29] <kitche> CppIsWeird: diff
[04:29] <fisherpri> idk maybe
[04:29] <dougsko> astomper: nope. all you have to do is set the IP, the gateway, netmask, and a default route for each box. its the same info each box would get if it used DHCP
[04:29] <sachrioja> hi
[04:29] <jrib> JMak642: it's made for what I *think* you are doing.  Try: apt-cache show apt-zip
[04:29] <mattycoze> gee
[04:30] <frankita> I can't get my sound to work. I don't even know how to start asking for help
[04:30] <astomper> dougsko: thanks, you just gave me the confidence to give it a shot!
[04:30] <dougsko> astomper: basically, this is it: http://www.sematopia.com/?p=50
[04:30] <mEck0> can you write to /var/log as an usual user or must you have root access?
[04:30] <Pelo> mattycoze,  we try but we have our limits , we'Re just users like you
[04:30] <Pelo> !sound | frankita
[04:30] <ubotu> frankita: 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
[04:31] <Pelo> frankita,  also check to make sure everthing is plugged in and turned on
[04:31] <frankita> I did that it still isn't work
[04:31] <frankita> well it works on windows
[04:31] <newtubuntu> hi all. As an Ubuntu newbie, I am pretty proud of myself. Here's the account of my week-end:  I've installed Ubuntu Feisty as a dual boot on my new Dell-Vista computer. I have successfully installed VirtualBox with Win2000 and WinXP running smoothly in it (after failing mesirably with VMWare). I have a few things that work great, others that dont. HERE'S MY QUESTION:  Did I make a mistake in installing the AMD64 version of Fe
[04:31] <astomper> !WorksForMe
[04:31] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[04:31] <frankita> so I know the hardware is good
[04:32] <CppIsWeird> kitche, i want a point and click utility, im pissed off and simply typeing --from and --to file sources does not work
[04:32] <trend> ubuntu is nice.. makes me feel back at home (I learned mostly on debian)
[04:32] <frankita> I have selected both asla and my actual hardware
[04:32] <JMak642> i am trying to get the build-essential package on a computer so i can reinstall the driver and get my wifi card working
[04:32] <JMak642> it shows no signal strength
[04:32] <JMak642> the rt2500
[04:32] <Pelo> newtubuntu, depends on what you want,    the 64 bit version doesn'T have a lot of little things like flash
[04:32] <linxuz3r> what is a good pdf editor?
[04:32] <jrib> newtubuntu: you got cut off "isntalling the AMD64 version of Fe"
[04:32] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  we generaly tell ppl to install x86 unless they have a specific need for 64
[04:33] <dougsko> CppIsWeird: take a deep breath, and relax. linux is a journey
[04:33] <newtubuntu> jrib:  what do you mean 'got cut off' ?
[04:33] <jrib> newtubuntu: the server truncated your message
[04:33] <JMak642> but that comp has no other network connection so i gotta put the package on there
[04:33] <CppIsWeird> what is an app that compares two text files?
[04:33] <dougsko> diff is the defacto program for that
[04:33] <jrib> CppIsWeird: you were told before: diff
[04:33] <Pelo> JMak642,  you would probably need to setup a wired connection for the purpose of downloading and installing build-essential
[04:33] <newtubuntu> HERE'S MY QUESTION:  Did I make a mistake in installing the AMD64 version of Feisty Fawn, or should I have installed the 32bits version ?  Am I better off in the long with AMD64 even though some applications are not supported on it ?  Or would I be better off re-installing and starting from scratch before I'm 'too far'.  I know I can 'chmod' in 32bits I think, but apparently it does nothing good on the performance side.  Than
[04:34] <jrib> JMak642: right, but you seem to have another debian-based computer with network access so you can use apt-zip
[04:34] <RoC_MasterMind> newtubuntu, your qeustion is cut off
[04:34] <dougsko> CppIsWeird: try this: diff foo1.txt foo2.txt
[04:34] <jrib> newtubuntu: if you are new to ubuntu, you should go with 32bit imo
[04:34] <newtubuntu> HERE'S MY QUESTION:  Did I make a mistake in installing the AMD64 version of Feisty Fawn, or should I have installed the 32bits version ?  Am I better off in the long with AMD64 even though some applications are not supported on it ?
[04:34] <newtubuntu> Or would I be better off re-installing and starting from scratch before I'm 'too far'.  I know I can 'chmod' in 32bits I think, but apparently it does nothing good on the performance side.  Thanks for any input from you guys, I appreciate.
[04:34] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  reisntall  32 from scratch
[04:34] <ajmorris_> how do i order the time of which scripts start in gnome?
[04:34] <coraline> or install it on VMWare and just select 32bit.
[04:34] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  and write shorter questions
[04:35] <JMak642> yah, i am installing that
[04:35] <dougsko> ajmorris_: cron lets you schedule tasks
[04:35] <Pelo> ajmorris_,  crontab -e
[04:35] <newtubuntu> Pelo: yes, sorry for this long post, I felt I had to give a bit of background to put you in context
[04:35] <ztomic> backing up so I can read.
[04:35] <JMak642> now, i gotta tell you, after i installed ubunto on this laptop over the weekend, i was amazed
[04:35] <JMak642> ubuntu sorry i'm a little busted
[04:35] <ajmorris_> dougska, Pelo, without using cron? (as in the order of /etc/init.d bash scripts)
[04:36] <Pelo> newtubuntu, that's ok,  but brevity is a virtue in a busy channel like this one
[04:36] <JMak642> but the desktop i am working on is sure more of a challenge
[04:36] <newtubuntu> IF I can live with AMD64 as it is right now, how long would it 'normally' take before AMD64 apps are up to speed ? (for example: Sun-Java-Plugin, Flash, etc.) ?
[04:36] <dougsko> ajmorris_: it does those alphabetcally on bootup
[04:36] <ajmorris_> damn :(
[04:36] <JMak642> more hard drives, less hardware support, but still i am going to press on, hopefully i wont have to go back to vista, it is quite terrible
[04:36] <coraline> Vista isn't terrible.
[04:36] <Pelo> ajmorris_,   try  menu > system > prefs > session >  the second tab ( i think )  you can select the demon and change the priority,
[04:37] <coraline> Use the right tool for the right job, no matter what that tool is.
[04:37] <mike3_> JMak642, what is unsupported
[04:37] <gdb> newtubuntu: proprietary software will generally lag 2-3 years behind wide adoption of the platform so don't expect to see 64 java or flash until around 2010.
[04:37] <gdb> newtubuntu: and that's assuming that 64 bit linux becomes widespread
[04:37] <jrib> gdb: there is 64bit java...
[04:37] <gdb> for linux?  in the repos now?
[04:37] <coraline> Sun has been 64 bit for 20 years.
[04:37] <jrib> yes?
[04:37] <JMak642> mike3_:well, my wifi card, rt2500 linksys wmp54g
[04:37] <gdb> and the included plugin works in 64 bit firefox?
[04:37] <newtubuntu> !topic
[04:37] <ubotu> Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic
[04:37] <JMak642> and i am having a heck of a time with a maxtor disk device
[04:38] <jrib> gdb: no browser plugin however
[04:38] <mike3_> JMak642, you're 100% sure fo that..??
[04:38] <gdb> Yeah, there's the rub.
[04:38] <ajmorris_> Pelo, my tasks don't display there, doesn't matter, i'll change the name of them so they boot up alphabetically
[04:38] <JMak642> mike3_: I guess i mean doesnt work out of the box, it shows no signal strength
[04:38] <gdb> Thanks for insight on the rest of the distribution, though.  I know Solaris has been 64 for *10* years, not 20, but as for Java on 64 bit Linux, that's a new one on me!
[04:39] <dougsko> ajmorris_: good article on this: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch07_:_The_Linux_Boot_Process
[04:39] <Pelo> ajmorris_, best of luck , try giving checking in the forum maybe there is an howto there
[04:39] <mike3_> JMak642, that doesn't mean it doesn't work.
[04:39] <mike3_> JMak642, Even windows doesnt' support things out of the box.
[04:39] <mike3_> JMak642, Maybe just a bit more work for your wireles..
[04:39] <JMak642> mike3_: ok, ok.  i'm after it now
[04:39] <mike3_> JMak642, I found something the first page
[04:39] <newtubuntu> I've successfully installed Sun-Java Runtime Environment (JRE), however, it is the plugin that fails to connect to Firefox. I can't run java apps on the net.
[04:40] <mike3_> JMak642, Do you want some help?
[04:40] <jrib> newtubuntu: have you installed the sun-java6-plugin package?
[04:40] <JMak642> mike3_: if you have time it'd be great
[04:40] <BURTS> what do i need to start programming C?
[04:40] <coraline> Ok, 12 years.
[04:40] <jrib> BURTS: build-essential and a text editor
[04:40] <mike3_> JMak642, pm
[04:40] <coraline> But IBM built the first 64 bit CPU back in 1961.
[04:40] <CppIsWeird> does alt+crtl+del reload the xorg.conf?
[04:40] <mike3_> no
[04:40] <PurpZeY> CppIsWeird: It restarts xserv
[04:40] <CppIsWeird> s/del/backspace
[04:41] <Gearman> how do i upload a file from labtop to my desktop with wireless
[04:41] <mike3_> it reboots the entire computer
[04:41] <jrib> CppIsWeird: yes it only restarts X
[04:41] <newtubuntu> jrib:  sun-java6-plugin is not available in my Synaptic list
[04:41] <PurpZeY> mike3_: No it doesn't.
[04:41] <mike3_> CppIsWeird, do ctrl+alt+f2
[04:41] <BURTS> jrib: do i need an internet connection for build essential?
[04:41] <mike3_> then do a /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:41] <newtubuntu> I installed Sun-Java6-JRE and Sun-Java6-BIN
[04:41] <newtubuntu> but there is NOT Sun-Java6-plugin
[04:41] <jrib> newtubuntu: right, because you are on 64bit sorry.  The best you can do is get the blackdown java plugin or setup a 32bit chroot.  It really isn't worth it for a new user imo.  You should reinstall 32bit
[04:41] <bigs> Has anyone here played with ubuntu Ultimate?
[04:42] <CppIsWeird> ty
[04:42] <JMak642> mike3_: did you get that pm?
[04:42] <bigs> I can easilly get beryl working in edgy and fiesty, but in ultimate its having a hard time
[04:42] <jrib> BURTS: yeah, I think so.  Or you can use the alternate cd as a repository
[04:42] <newtubuntu> OK I will re-install 32bits then. Frustrating cause I don't have much time. But I guess it will save me time in the long run.
[04:43] <PurpZeY> bigs: #ubuntu-effects
[04:43] <newtubuntu> What do I lose by 'stepping down' to 32bits ?
[04:43] <bigs> k
[04:43] <bigs> Im sorry
[04:43] <bigs> ty
[04:43] <PurpZeY> No worries.
[04:43] <jrib> newtubuntu: if you don't know, then you don't lose anything (this is the truth)
[04:43] <BURTS> jrib: i may have to just look for the .deb or something.  I am on dial up and my alternate cd as far as i know is in storage.
[04:43] <newtubuntu> jrib:  lol. I love practical guys like you. :-)  Will I lose in performance ?
[04:43] <toddy> so true
[04:43] <bigs> Im just used to efnet ass's kicking me for asking a question in the wrong #
[04:44] <mike3_> JMak642, sorry bud
[04:44] <jrib> newtubuntu: not really, you won't notice anything
[04:44] <bigs> but thanks, will do.
[04:44] <mike3_> JMak642, I don't have this user registered.
[04:44] <mike3_> JMak642, let me regsiter this
[04:44] <CppIsWeird> mike3_, i did as instructed, it does not appear to have loaded the new settings, are you sure your methods reload the xorg.conf?
[04:44] <GuHHH> hi
[04:44] <jrib> BURTS: ok, just be sure to grab all the dependencies for build-essential
[04:44] <Eren> hey all
[04:44] <PurpZeY> CppIsWeird: I thought there was an apt-get command for that.
[04:44] <GuHHH> does anybody knows how can i install courier-imap and pop on ubuntu? i can't find it.
[04:45] <JMak642> mike3_: my nick isnt registered either, do i need to do that?
[04:45] <Eren> is there a flash converter for youtube videos?
[04:45] <newtubuntu> jrib:  I'm off 64bits then, and Ubuntu.org should make AMD64 less 'evident' on their site then. I downloaded this version because I assumed that's what I needed with a 64bits proc.
[04:45] <mike3_> JMak642, yes to receive private messages

[04:45] <mike3_> that should do it
[04:45] <falcon866> why is my /home 8% fragmented
[04:46] <jrib> newtubuntu: you can file a bug against the ubuntu website if you want at launchpad.net
[04:46] <TraceGreen> Hello, Does ubuntu use its own kernel? or just recompile from kernel.org without any patches?
[04:46] <jrib> TraceGreen: it has patches
[04:46] <mike3_> TraceGreen, It's a kernel with it's patches added to it
[04:46] <TraceGreen> jrib, so, where can I get ubuntu's kernel source code?
[04:47] <delca5> hello people, i have a trouble with my webcam, can someone help me ?
[04:47] <TraceGreen> mike3_, I don't use ubuntu, so, how can I get its kernel souce code? where shall i download
[04:47] <PurpZeY> delca5: Describe please.
[04:47] <jrib> TraceGreen: well you could just install the "linux-source" package or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide if you want to look at the latest git
[04:47] <falcon866> is it normal to have 8% fragmentation on ext3
[04:48] <mike3_> TraceGreen, what do you use?
[04:48] <delca5> thanks, im using xubuntu feisty
[04:48] <delca5> v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0

[04:48] <Gearman> anyone do i need to fragment my hd drive
[04:48] <PurpZeY> ugh ugh
[04:48] <TraceGreen> mike3_, I use debian
[04:48] <tom_> hey guys, i'm having a problem with my new laptop. I have specified that while on battery power, when i close the lid the computer should enter sleep mode. however, when i open the lid again, the screen does not turn back on. pressing keys, moving the mouse, pressing the power button, nothing works.
[04:48] <tom_> !paste > delca5
[04:48] <mike3_> TraceGreen, I'm sure debian has something in it's debian tree.
[04:48] <GuHHH> does anybody knows how can i install courier-imap and pop on ubuntu? i can't find it.
[04:49] <jrib> newtubuntu: well if it made you download a version that wasn't appropriate, I would say it is.  It's just a way to get the developers to get some feedback.  The worse that can happen is they don't agree and reject your bug :)
[04:49] <mike3_> If you are not familar with compiling kernels from source and such, I recommend sticking with the distro's kernel.
[04:49] <PurpZeY> tom_: I've heard a lot of people saying that hibernate can be iffy.
[04:49] <technel> When booting up, when the loading screen shows before the login, what is the command to show what's going on behind the scenes?
[04:49] <TraceGreen> mike3_, yeah, I know. Thanks very much.
[04:49] <delca5> ok, someone can help i have this cam Microdia Genius VideoCAM NB
[04:49] <tom_> PurpZeY: Its not hibernation, it's sleep. if it helps, i'm using intel 8.10 drivers running beryl
[04:49] <PurpZeY> tom_: Sleep being suspend to ram?
[04:49] <mike3_> TraceGreen, However, if you want to do it from scratch head over to kernel.org
[04:50] <newtubuntu> I have 320Gb of hd. If I re-install 32bits, I can repartition it as I want. Should I make the whole thing Linux and run Windows apps ONLY in VirtualBox, or should I keep myself a small partition for Vista or XP ?
[04:50] <tom_> PurpZeY: yes, and i have no lack of ram on this laptop.
[04:50] <mike3_> and go to town. I'd pull a tutorial up for yourself, and know every piece of hardware in your computer.
[04:50] <delca5> in edgy works great with spca5xx, but in feisty no
[04:50] <mike3_> Also, know how to rescue your system if you render it non useable.
[04:50] <tom_> PurpZeY: i know that hibernation won't work for me since i forgot that the swap has to be more than the ram.
[04:50] <MrOtacon> hey guys - when i use the poweroff command, my system halts instead of shutting down - even when i use shutdown -P now it halts, and i have to pull the power cable out... any way to fix this
[04:50] <trend> hmm.. i just installed ubuntu server.. and apt-get upgrade.. and now uname -a says: 2.6.20-16-server #2 SMP even though my machine has one cpu.. will this be a problem?
[04:50] <falcon866> how can i run windows in ubuntu
[04:51] <trend> and also says i686, even though it is i386
[04:51] <jrib> newtubuntu: you have to decide that yourself really, for myself, I don't have windows installed and everything is fine
[04:51] <technel> Is it possible to add a little text box to gnome-panel where I can just type in a command and it will launch a terminal and run the command?
[04:51] <PurpZeY> tom_: It might be beryl related, you could always try switching back to meta-city temporary...But, personally speaking, I have found that both are generally iffy, and I have my machine set just to shut off the monitor.
[04:51] <newtubuntu> jrib:  You are 100% right, and I think I will because I've lost hours on this, even if it can be seen as a small investment in my Linux learning curve.
[04:51] <tom_> newtubuntu: you should consider running windows in qemu or vmware
[04:51] <jrib> !virtualizers >  (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:51] <hatter> newtubuntu, only you can answer that question.  what do you want windows for ? if you want games then you need it to dual boot, if not then running it in a vm is finer
[04:51] <CppIsWeird> how come the only modes listed in my xorg.conf are "1280x800" yet in my ubuntu screen resolution 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480. and my screen resolution appears to be in 1024x768?

[04:52] <newtubuntu> hatter and jrib:  I need Windows for business apps only (accounting, crm, etc.). No gaming for this guy.
[04:52] <mike3_> TraceGreen, which kernel? From the tree?
[04:52] <mike3_> via apt-get?
[04:52] <hatter> newtubuntu, vmplayer works great
[04:52] <jrib> newtubuntu: vm should work fine
[04:52] <hatter> saves rebooting when you need windoze
[04:52] <CppIsWeird> speaker219, and what did that do?
[04:52] <neztiti> guys can someone tell me where 2 put the softcam in vdr
[04:52] <TraceGreen> mike3_, Just ubuntu latest desktop kernel
[04:52] <tom_> PurpZeY: i'll take that into consideration. this is my first laptop, and overall i'm extremely pleased with ubuntu's performance on a laptop. the only thing i had to do was reconfigure panel-applets so i could specify the governor for the cpu scaling.
[04:52] <hatter> * hatter points at hatter and laughs
[04:52] <newtubuntu> is vm better than virtualbox ? what about qemu ?
[04:52] <mike3_> TraceGreen, I am assuming you want the newest kernel from the Debian's tree. YOu'll have to use apt-get then browse over to /usr/src/ and go to town

[04:53] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Ok, are you using debian or ubuntu
[04:53] <hatter> newtubuntu, i use vmware.  dont know about the others.
[04:53] <CppIsWeird> speaker219, so now what? i reboot and all is ok?
[04:53] <TraceGreen> mike3_, I use debian. But i want to get ubuntu's kernel.
[04:53] <PurpZeY> tom_: I've never played with CPU scaling, how does that affect your setup?
[04:53] <tom_> PurpZeY: i'll try sleeping with metacity, and i'll let you know how it goes.
[04:53] <speaker219> CppIsWeird, it is required for the screen resolution with an Intel chipset to be in 1280x800, i had the same problem, just reboot after installing it and you should be all set

[04:55] <jrib> Fak3: yes, but you need to mount them.  You should have system -> administration -> disks
[04:55] <Pelo> Fak3,  not natively but it is easily added

[04:56] <mike3_> JMak642, Get somebody to tar up their /usr/src/linux for you
[04:57] <newtubuntu> would it be good practice to create myself a separate independent partition for 'Docs' only ?
[04:57] <mike3_> JMak642, But you will need to know hot to recompile it for yourself and load it into lilo or grub.
[04:57] <jrib> Fak3: yeah, should be.  The only thing to note is that they get mounted so that only root can view them.  Since you are on the livecd, the easiest way to get around this is to open a terminal and type 'gksudo nautilus' and then you should be able to read them and copy etc...
[04:57] <mike3_> JMak642, Rather a messy way of dealing with your problem. You might just make it more frustrating for yourself.
[04:57] <Fak3> ok
[04:57] <Fak3> jrib:  thanks :)
[04:57] <Pelo> newtubuntu, make a seperate partition for your /home   it will make your life easier if you need to reinstall
[04:57] <wotanist> dennis_: I don't see it in /usr/bin/
[04:57] <jrib> newtubuntu: I like having a seperate one for /home as well

[04:58] <Gearman> Hi all do i need to defrag my hd drive?
[04:58] <SonhadorPR> or apt-get on a terminal to see what is wrong.
[04:58] <jrib> SonhadorPR: please join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[04:58] <tom_> PurpZeY: yeah no dice.

[04:58] <SonhadorPR> (E: The package realplayer needs to be reinstalled, but I can find an archive f
[04:58] <PurpZeY> tom_: I have to run in a hot second, but like I said, I've heard it is iffy
[04:58] <tom_> PurpZeY: perhaps it's an issue with intel's drivers.
[04:58] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Probably a lot.
[04:58] <newtubuntu> and my /home partition should be linux, NTFS or FAT32 ?
[04:58] <tom_> PurpZeY: goodnight then, thanks.
[04:59] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Patches, a million modules enabled, and stuff built into the kernel.
[04:59] <jrib> newtubuntu: ext3
[04:59] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  ext3
[04:59] <newtubuntu> ext3 = linux, right ?
[04:59] <mike3_> TraceGreen, First thing i would do if I were you, is read on how to recompile a kernel
[04:59] <MrOtacon> newtubuntu: yes
[04:59] <troopperi> MrOtacon: perhaps your condensators are going down...check them
[04:59] <Pelo> newtubuntu, ext3 is the default fs for most linux distro atm
[04:59] <tom_> newtubuntu: ext3 is what you want to be using for your partitions in linux yes.
[04:59] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Then get the list of computer parts you have in your computer. Then go to town recompiling your kernel for your computer.
[04:59] <Gearman> how do i mount my external hd drive?
[05:00] <wotanist> Please help me run netspeed. I installed it but don't know how to run it. Its not there under Applications > Internet. I installed it from Synaptic Package Manager.
[05:00] <newtubuntu> would a separate XP or vista be able to read the separate ext3 /home partition ?
[05:00] <TraceGreen> mike3_, I know how to recompile.
[05:00] <witless> hi.  my system no longer automatically mounts my music player's USB storage when i plug it in.  how can i fix this?
[05:00] <speaker219> jrib and pelo, sorry and thanks
[05:00] <dennis_> Hey, here's a good question that I do have. I just grabbed the deb package for Seamonkey -- Can't install it. At bash, says can't open window. Then when I called it from the GUI (Gnome) -- Don't have root priv's... Even tried it with fakeroot. Any ideas?
[05:00] <HorizonXP> how do I enable USB devices support in VMWare Server?
[05:00] <TraceGreen> mike3_, I build a livecd my own. but I can not support enough hardware
[05:00] <MrOtacon> troopperi: on the motherboard?!?
[05:00] <tom_> newtubuntu: there is one difference between linux and windows however, in linux, you need another partition, a swap partition which should be 1.5 to 2 times the size of your RAM.
[05:00] <Pelo> Gearman,  usb ?  it plug it in and power it up , it should automount
[05:00] <troopperi> MrOtacon: yes
[05:00] <tom_> its pelo :l you're always here man.
[05:00] <TraceGreen> mike3_, so, I want to choose i stable kernel to use. debian or ubuntu. I want to use ubuntu
[05:00] <wotanist> Please help me!
[05:00] <TraceGreen> mike3_, this why i ask you where can i get ubunut's source code.
[05:01] <Shaw1> I have a Maxtor One Touch III external drive.  It's connected and I can access it, but I am not able to write to it.  I get an error that says I do not have permission to write to it?  Can anybody help? Please?
[05:01] <MrOtacon> troopperi: its a linux only problem though, windows apm works fine... i dont really wanna have to examine my motherboard tonight
[05:01] <Pelo> tom_ ?
[05:01] <dennis_> it should be in /usr/bin/ if it was installed.
[05:01] <Dr_willis> HorizonXP,  thats on the virtual machine settings in vmware server. add  the usb device
[05:01] <Gearman> all i see is cd part it for windows
[05:01] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Neither are more stable then each other. A kernel is a kernel. Ubuntu is going to have a shit load of things enabled by default to find your hardware, but that doesn't mean it's going to work the way you want.
[05:01] <wotanist> Can someone help me?
[05:01] <troopperi> MrOtacon: okay, have you google that halt
[05:01] <Nubbie> pelo: it seems like every time i'm in here you are too lol its like you never leave :D
[05:01] <Pelo> tom_ I've barely been around in the last two weeks,
[05:01] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Have you spoke with people in the Debian channel?
[05:02] <newtubuntu> will a separate XP or vista be able to read the separate ext3 /home partition ?
[05:02] <MrOtacon> troopperi: yeah - i am still looking now
[05:02] <TraceGreen> mike3_, not yet.
[05:02] <Pelo> Nubbie,  I have no life
[05:02] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  run it from the shell? check the package manager to see what files it installed.
[05:02] <HorizonXP> Dr_Willis: I did, it still can't see my devices. I seem to remember having to modify my fstab to automount /proc/sys or something like that
[05:02] <mike3_> TraceGreen, What is causing you a problem?
[05:02] <Nubbie> newtubuntu: microsoft does not support ext3 at all.
[05:02] <wotanist> shell? you mean terminal? it didn't work from there.
[05:02] <mEck0> where does Konversation saves the config-file? So I don't need to reconfigure it each time when I reinstall the system.
[05:02] <Dr_willis> HorizonXP,   you are refering to a USB removeable drive eh?
[05:02] <mike3_> HorizonXP, What?!
[05:02] <Nubbie> newtubuntu: however, there's 3rd party drivers for windows that will let you read ext3 partitions.
[05:02] <newtubuntu> Nubbie:  Thank you.
[05:02] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  clarify 'dident work'
[05:02] <hatter> newtubuntu, send Bill a poo package.  address : 1 microsoft way
[05:02] <mike3_> HorizonXP, /dev/
[05:02] <mike3_> dev=devices
[05:02] <HorizonXP> Dr_willis: yeah actually
[05:03] <Nubbie> lol@hatter
[05:03] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  and yes the shell=terminal=konsole=gnome-terminal
[05:03] <TraceGreen> mike3_, as i said, i build a livecd. when i compile kernle my own. Some computers can not boot successfully
[05:03] <wotanist> Well it says command not found. I typed "netspeed".
[05:03] <Dr_willis> HorizonXP,  Hmm.. Cant say that ive ever tried it.
[05:03] <TTT_Travis> has anyone got LIRC and LIRC_SERIAL to work properly under Edgy?
[05:03] <TraceGreen> mike3_, So, I want to use debian or ubuntu's kernle to support enough hardware.
[05:03] <mike3_> TraceGreen, That's how you learn. =) You are talking to a hardcord Gentoo user.
[05:03] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  thats why you use the package manager to see what files it installed.
[05:03] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Ok you know what you want then.
[05:03] <newtubuntu> Will the ext3 /home partition be available from XP or Vista if I run them in VMWare or VirtualBox ?
[05:03] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Here is what you need to do.
[05:04] <Nubbie> TTT_Travis: instead of asking if anybody has done what you're trying to do, ask if somebody can help you with your problem (tell us your problem!)
[05:04] <angell> hello
[05:04] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  fire up synaptic. find the package. right click check its properties.. see what files it had.
[05:04] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  windows doesn'T read ext3 , if you must you an make an extra partition in fat32 for sharing between the two
[05:04] <newtubuntu> All I want is to avoid having '2 homes' one in Linux, one for my XP virtual machine
[05:04] <angell> can anyone know what's a good windows 98 emulator?
[05:04] <angell> does*
[05:04] <Dr_willis> newtubuntu,  i set them up as a samba share. and accesed them as a network-share.
[05:04] <angell> XP*
[05:05] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Find out the latest kernel in Ubuntu's tree. Download the kernel from kernel.org and uncompress it into your /usr/src/ directory. Then ask somebody for thier .config file and place that file in your uncompressed kernel directory. Once that is done, run a make oldconfig. Then you will get most if not all the support that is built with the Ubuntu kernel.
[05:05] <Dr_willis> angell,  vmware handles win98 fine.
[05:05] <Pelo> angell,  wine
[05:05] <angell> thank you
[05:05] <Pelo> !wine | angell
[05:05] <ubotu> angell: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[05:05] <mike3_> TraceGreen, I would imagine that is a cleaner way of approaching what you want.
[05:05] <Drizzt321> I need some help getting my sd/mmc card reader on my dell e1505/6400 working. It reads SD cards fine, but doesn't recognize MMC cards when inserted. I'm running a custom 2.6.21 kernel
[05:05] <mike3_> TraceGreen, You still need to learn how to recompile kernels though.
[05:05] <Nubbie> newtubuntu: that is a good way to share files between windows and linux, but if at any time you need to read the files inside your ext3 partition from windows, there are drivers available. but to share your music or something between the systems, a fat32 partition is the best option.
[05:05] <mike3_> and load them into lilo or grub
[05:06] <mike3_> It's not as easy as you think man.
[05:06] <Dr_willis> Drizzt321,  this is on a laptop and its media-reader-built-in-thing?
[05:06] <TraceGreen> mike3_, thanks!
[05:06] <newtubuntu> Pelo:  Can I, and would it be good practice, create my /home on a separate NTFS or FAT32 partition so it's available for the Windows virtual machines ?
[05:06] <Drizzt321> Dr_willis: yes
[05:06] <Nubbie> newtubuntu: your root and home partitions need to be ext3.
[05:06] <Drizzt321> Dr_willis:  using the mmc_block,wbsd,sdhci modules
[05:06] <wotanist> Dr_willis: Uh, there're a lot of files there. I don't know which one. It shows a netspeed_applet, but thats not running either.
[05:06] <TraceGreen> mike3_, thanks very much. So, I can get ubuntu's config file, then, i can build ubuntu's kernle, right?
[05:06] <Dr_willis> Drizzt321,  some laptops 'controller' for those thigs have very little linux support sadly. My laptop has similer issues. can only read a few of the slots.
[05:06] <trend> hello, I am trying to  nc -l 1111 to open a port..  but I don't see 1111 open via netstat -tl.. why is this?
[05:06] <Nubbie> newtubuntu: but what you can do is make another partition, a fat32 one, and have it mount inside /home so it will be accessible.
[05:06] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  the path will most likely be somnthing in /bin/ or /usr/bin
[05:07] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  linux doesn'T write to NTFS natively,  don'T make a /home in ntfs, make it as ext3 or fat32 if you realy must
[05:07] <Drizzt321> Dr_willis: whats really weird though, is I can read my SD card, which has the proprietary crap, while I can't on the MMC card
[05:07] <TraceGreen> mike3_, So, Ubunut does not develop its own kernle modules? If i get kernle from kernle.org.
[05:07] <Nubbie> newtubuntu: ex. /home/music as your fat32 partition.
[05:07] <noodles12> !undervolt
[05:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about undervolt - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:07] <mike3_> TraceGreen, No.
[05:07] <Dr_willis> Drizzt321,  mmc = sony?  My SD card works but not my sony sticks. I just carry around a $5 usb-media-reader thing.
[05:07] <mike3_> TraceGreen, Think as Ubuntu taking all that's out there and slapping it together and calling it Ubuntu. :0
[05:07] <mike3_> That's how all Distro's work.
[05:08] <Nubbie> mmc is micro media card or something. i don't think it's a sony invention.
[05:08] <hatter> TraceGreen, google for howto recompile kernel the ubuntu way
[05:08] <mike3_> Of course they customize to their liking and such.
[05:08] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  I think you are setting your sight to high for a newby,   try doing it a simple if a little annoying way first , just soyou get your feet wet , you can always change it later
[05:08] <TraceGreen> mike3_, thanks!
[05:08] <troopperi> MrOtacon: what says (type in console) dmesg
[05:08] <Dr_willis> Theres way too many different memory-stick formats out. :)
[05:08] <Drizzt321> Dr_willis: no, mmc != sony, its basically an SD card without the proprietary stuff. the specs are basically the same, and uses the same base slot
[05:08] <mike3_> TraceGreen, I really wish I have helped
[05:08] <wotanist> Dr_willis: /usr/bin doesnt have a filename next to it under properties :S
[05:08] <Drizzt321> Dr_willis: problem is it sits on the pci bus, not the usb bus otherwise it'd work just fine with usb-storage
[05:08] <Dr_willis> Drizzt321,  cant say that ive ever seen one.

[05:10] <Dr_willis> wotanist,  if its a gnome panel applet. you may just need to use the gnome 'add applet to panel' item.
[05:10] <egbill3eagle> hey all, I'm looking for anyone who has some expreience with openmosix that might be able to help point me in the right direction to get it up and runing on 6.

When I click the "test" button, the test sound will play but no sound from any other application, including system sounds, will play.
[05:47] <SqrlKng> Hey, can someone help me out with this?  http://pastebin.ca/589674 I get it when I try to startx with the nvidia driver
 would u be bale to help pls
[05:47] <osxdude|about_to> CpplsWeird: actually, your setting may be changed to Autodetect, and Ubuntu's changing configs. Set the Sound settings to the working ones.
[05:48] <Dr_willis> eyemean,  depends on the issue.
[05:48] <CppIsWeird> yes, i checked, they are all changed to Autodetect.
[05:48] <eyemean> surround sound on CM8738
[05:48] <eyemean> pls
[05:48] <CppIsWeird>  button, and i can hear nothing from any of them
[05:48] <osxdude|about_to> CPPLSWeird: Change them until they work.
[05:48] <CppIsWeird> ** i have tried all devices and that test button, and hear nothing from any of them
[05:49] <orbisvicis> ok, is there a way to force the removal of a package ?
[05:49] <gaten> SqrlKng: how did you install the nvidia drivers?
[05:49] <jetscreamer> heh
[05:50] <sn0w> slavik_ http://pastebin.com/936475
[05:50] <stoned> hi
[05:50] <osxdude|about_to> It could be your sound card overheating or something. Play some music or something and change them.
[05:50] <stoned> I am looking for a netinst ubuntu method
[05:50] <slavik_> whoever had trouble with loading stuff with nvidia driver, problem is that glx can't be laoded, make sure the file is there
[05:51] <bruenig> !install | stoned
[05:51] <ubotu> stoned: 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
[05:51] <stoned> I need a kernel/initrd for a netinstall
[05:51] <osxdude|about_to> gtg. I need sleep
[05:51] <orbisvicis> sweet, its gone!
[05:51] <SqrlKng> gaten:  I did apt-get install nvidia-glx-new , then I downloaded a driver from nvidia's website and, after installed that as they had instructed
[05:51] <slavik_> sn0w: try ati for driver, then do the reconfigure command, if that doesn't work, get the alternate isntall cd
[05:52] <slavik_> SqrlKng: something is preventing the laoding of the glx module
[05:52] <gaten> SqrlKng: ok. and eveything went well with the nvidia install?
[05:52] <SqrlKng> gaten:  It did after I apt'd the "build essentials"
[05:52] <CppIsWeird> i dont understand why my sounds would work during boot up and even after boot up and then all the sudden die out?
[05:52] <gaten> SqrlKng: right. and you installed it when X was shutdown right?
[05:52] <SqrlKng> gaten:  correct
[05:52] <eyemean> is it hard to enable xgl on radeon 9550, i've tried following methods and totally messed it up
[05:52] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  your user logs in, sound works for a little bit. then stops?
[05:53] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, yep
[05:53] <SqrlKng> gaten:  the weird thing is that it seemed to work alright right after that .. then beryl wasn't starting as it should, so I restarted and that's when I got that error
[05:53] <stoned> is it not possible to install ubuntu over the network?
[05:53] <stoned> why does one have to have an iso?
[05:53] <eyemean> i tried another sitro and it asked if i wanted to enable xgl then it did it itself, which was aswesome, but that disto was too slow for me
[05:54] <gaten> SqrlKng: hmm. i find its best to unistall all the ubuntu supplied nvidia stuff if you're going to install nvidias cutting edge drivers
[05:54] <arrrghhh> hey does anyone know how to configure hamachi?
[05:54] <arrrghhh> i can't seem to get it to work right...
[05:54] <geeksauce> what could be causing xmms to not be able to control sound volume?
[05:54] <SqrlKng> gaten:  how do you go about doing that?
[05:54] <Fajro> Hi! Fluxbuntu works well in a Pentium 166 with 32 mb of RAM?   Ubuntu Lite?
[05:55] <stoned> anyone/
[05:55] <Gaban> hi
[05:55] <gaten> SqrlKng: search for nvidia packages installed on the system and remove em. then reboot and then install the nvidia drivers. reboot again
[05:55] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  as a test.. try a very simple window manager,  like.. fluxbox, see if sound works, and keeps working in it for you.
[05:55] <arrrghhh> Fajro, probably an old version tho...i doubt the new feisty
[05:55] <sn0w> slavik_ i tried running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it still doesnt work
[05:55] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  may also want to try a different user. (as a test)
[05:55] <sn0w> it does auto detect the correct resolutions for once but it still wont startx
[05:55] <stoned> I need an ubuntu linux kernel/initrd.gz so I can boot it and start a pure network install.  I can't seem to find them.  Does anyone know where I can get these images?
[05:56] <stoned> I don't want to download iso
[05:56] <arrrghhh> sn0w, did you try the auto config command
[05:56] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, no sound on anything works now (and after toying with things and turning everything i could find up, im afraid i might blow up my speaker) and same thing happens for any user
[05:56] <slavik_> sn0w: looks like the alternate cd is the only way then, I can't think of anything else (you tried the 'ati' driver?)
[05:56] <sn0w> when i do the autodetect video hardware it says no X server known for my hardware
[05:56] <gregorovius> hi... is there a graphical equivalent to GNU screen?
[05:56] <arrrghhh> "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[05:56] <sn0w> yea i tried that
[05:56] <sn0w> what does the -phigh do
[05:56] <arrrghhh> did you SELECT different drivers?
[05:56] <arrrghhh> auto sets up everything but your video stuff
[05:56] <sn0w> i tried, vga, vesa, and ati
[05:56] <stoned> it makes it so it asks you less questions
[05:57] <sn0w> none of those worked
[05:57] <arrrghhh> so all the keyboard, etc settings are automatic
[05:57] <slavik_> arrrghhh: we did vesa (original) vga and ati, think radeon is worth trying?
[05:57] <stoned> only questions of priority high
[05:57] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  this is why i am glad i buy nice "sound blaster audigy' sound cards. :()
[05:57] <arrrghhh> slavik_, might as well...
[05:57] <slavik_> sn0w: give it a try ...
[05:57] <stoned> sn0w: try -plow if you want to specify more things
[05:57] <stoned> fine tune it
[05:57] <arrrghhh> -plow?
[05:57] <arrrghhh> lol
[05:57] <sn0w> just put radeon in the for the driver?
[05:58] <arrrghhh> is it like a really really new ati card?!?
[05:58] <monitordawg> I have a smbfs mount problem since I changed my ip address from dhcp to static.
[05:58] <stoned> I need an ubuntu linux kernel/initrd.gz so I can boot it and start a pure network install.  I can't seem to find them.  Does anyone know where I can get these images?
[05:58] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, sure thing, why dont you just run on over here and pop one of those suckers in the back of my laptop eh?
[05:58] <eggs> is envy an okay script to use with ubuntu ?
[05:58] <sn0w> its an ati radeon xpress 1250
[05:58] <monitordawg> my old mount no longer works....I had it setup using the fstab....and rebooting the server and my workstations yeild no results....does anyone have any ideas
[05:58] <crdlb> eggs, no
[05:58] <arrrghhh> stoned, can't you just extract them from the iso?  i dunno
[05:58] <stoned> I DONT WANT TO GET AN ISO!
[05:59] <arrrghhh> uhm
[05:59] <arrrghhh> too bad?
[05:59] <sn0w> radeon did not work
[05:59] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  heck with a laptop - its higly likely its some funky bios issue. :)
[05:59] <arrrghhh> get a really tiny one
[05:59] <AlestorJ1> Hi, how does anyone know how I can make a CD bootable?  I have a CD with an ISO, it's detected, the boot sequence is fine, so I was wondering if it was some setting that was incorrect.  Anyone?
[05:59] <eggs> crdlb: any suggestions on what i can use ?
[05:59] <arrrghhh> like dsl or something...
[05:59] <stoned> if you can't do a netinst on linux, that distro is not worth using
[05:59] <crdlb> eggs, system>administration>restricted drivers manager
[06:00] <sn0w> and can you point me where the alternate disc is again
[06:00] <eggs> i do not see that on my list
[06:00] <eyemean> is it true that with xgl you cant have dual screen?
[06:00] <Kprofthreat> LARGESS
[06:00] <arrrghhh> so has anyone configured hamachi correctly?  i thought it was supposed to be easy, and nothing is working
[06:00] <eggs> i use 6.06
[06:01] <Kprofthreat> Can anyone help me configure my wireless to start at boot? The automatic connection has the ESSID and all, but the key is only WEP...
[06:01] <sn0w> ok i see, its text based installer, ok but after that am i going to have these same problems?
[06:01] <crdlb> eggs, then you'll have to do it the manual way
[06:01] <crdlb> !nvidia
[06:01] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:01] <stoned> every single install method requires an iso
[06:01] <stoned> why can't you install ubuntu through netinst
[06:01] <crdlb> see the 6.10 and earlier method
[06:01] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, i could have just as easily determined that sound not working is an "issue" of perhaps "anything". The goal of asking for help is to not point out that i have a problem, but to ask people who know how to use this OS better then I do steps to troubleshooting the "issue".
[06:01] <arrrghhh> you probably can
[06:01] <arrrghhh> it's just not easy
[06:01] <stoned> im sure of it
[06:01] <gregorovius> anyone knows if a graphical version of GNU screen exists?
[06:01] <crdlb> !netinstall
[06:01] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[06:02] <stoned> what do you mean its not easy
[06:02] <stoned> its a peice of cake
[06:02] <orbisvicis> arrrghhh, openvpn, its hard to config also but better in concept
[06:02] <stoned> crdlb: I've looked all around those links and found nothing
[06:02] <maynards-girl> i tried installing the nvidia drivers according to the ubuntu forum and now it's not detecting my video settings. where do i start?
[06:02] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  I DO recall ages ago a problem where.. no wait.. thats not the same in your case..  heh... thinking of other trouble shooting methods...
[06:02] <arrrghhh> orbisvicis, you're sayin better than hamachi?
[06:02] <arrrghhh> orbisvicis, i just want something that works with vnc
[06:02] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  try it totally from the console yet? like with  mpg123 ?
[06:02] <sn0w> slavik_ after i messed with it, it now says no screens found at all
[06:02] <orbisvicis> arrrghhh, well with hamachi the initial connection goes through their servers
[06:02] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  also - could try some live cd's see if it has similer issues...
[06:02] <sn0w> before it said screen were found, but no usable config
[06:02] <arrrghhh> yea
[06:02] <kevin57> How do you define a path in the terminal?
[06:02] <stoned> I need an ubuntu linux kernel/initrd.gz so I can boot it and start a pure network install.  I can't seem to find them.  Does anyone know where I can get these images?
[06:03] <slavik_> sn0w: you only changed the driver, right?
[06:03] <sn0w> yea to radeon
[06:03] <sn0w> it didnt like that
[06:03] <daniellibanori> Hi people. I've bought a Thinkpad T61. Unfortunelly, it comes with Windows Vista. I want to install only Ubuntu, but, I don't know if I will get some trouble case I need reinstall Vista.
[06:03] <slavik_> sn0w: can you also post the serverlayour section?
[06:03] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  it sounds like the sound card drives are crashing/bugged. but not even sure where to get any sort of logging info on that.
[06:03] <stoned> you know when you boot these two files it starts to downlod the base system, installs it, then downloads the pckages
[06:03] <sn0w> ok
[06:03] <stoned> I don't want to download an iso, I just want to do a net isntall
[06:03] <gregorovius> is there a way to run a graphical application so that even if my x session crashes it will still be running?
[06:03] <stoned> I can't find these files anywhere
[06:03] <stoned> can anyone plese help me!
[06:03] <arrrghhh> sn0w, have you tried deleting the xorg.conf file
[06:03] <Dr_willis> gregorovius,  run the imporntant apps in a vncserver virtual desktop.
[06:04] <orbisvicis> arrrghhh, if you have access to your router, set up port-forwarding or enable upnp, then you wont need vpn
[06:04] <Nutubuntu> Question about dump & restore. The description of dump says it's for the ext2 fs. Is it also compatible with ext3? I want to copy the /home partition from my old computer to my new one, which has new disks. The partitions are of different size. Some of the files are > 4GB. I think dump / restore may be my best choices, but I'm a n00b and would be grateful for advice from someone who's already done this.
[06:04] <sn0w> no i havnt, after i delete then what
[06:04] <monitordawg> has anyone ever seen this error smb_lookup: find //DB_CONFIG failed, error=-5
[06:04] <arrrghhh> orbisvicis, i have access to my router @ home but not at work
[06:04] <daniellibanori> I just want to format my Windows and I don't know if I can get some trouble in the future, case I need to reinstall it. Someone could help me?
[06:04] <gregorovius> Dr_willis, know of any guides for that?
[06:04] <arrrghhh> sn0w boot in
[06:04] <orbisvicis> arrrghhh, too bad
[06:05] <arrrghhh> orbisvicis, no?
[06:05] <Dr_willis> gregorovius,  install vncserver, runvncserver, run a vncviewer  use the virtual desktop to run the apps..  then  it should 'stay' running even if you crash X. (since they are not running In the local X)
[06:05] <arrrghhh> logmein is sweet, too bad there's no linux support
[06:06] <stoned> so am I to assume ubuntu is worthless?
[06:06] <arrrghhh> stoned, yea use gentoo
[06:06] <emet> totally
[06:06] <orbisvicis> arrrghhh, as far as i know, theres only hamachi or openvpn. But connecting from work -> home should work without hamachi. vice versa not
[06:06] <stoned> heh
[06:06] <orbisvicis> or any vpn
[06:06] <stoned> ubuntu for ubuntards
[06:07] <stoned> anyway
[06:07] <arrrghhh> i'm an ubuntard
[06:07] <stoned> I need a netinstall kernel
[06:07] <n2diy> daniellibanori: check out http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[06:07] <arrrghhh> orbisvicis, hamachi seems like it would work great
[06:07] <maynards-girl> i tried installing my nvidia driver according to the ubuntu forum and now it's not detecting my card and my resolution is really poor. what do i do?
[06:07] <arrrghhh> i just figured out xdmpc with xfce4
[06:07] <Dr_willis> I thought there was some net-install docs on the ubuntu wiki. Never done it however.
[06:08] <daniellibanori> n2diy: thanks. I just have some doubts about windows license
[06:08] <arrrghhh> maynards-girl, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[06:08] <Fedman> uhhm does anyone know a way to sync kmobile tools with evolution?
[06:08] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, mpg123 does not play from command line.
[06:08] <Nutubuntu> Maybe I missed this; is there a question about the net install (the Minimal CD)?
[06:08] <arrrghhh> maynards-girl, then pick your card & resolutions you want listed
[06:08] <stoned> Dr_willis: its a piece of cake, you get a linux kernel and initrd.gz and go tell grub to boot it into ramdisk.  start the isntaller, base system is downloaded from archives, installed, then configured, then it downloads the rest of the optional system packages
[06:08] <sx66> do you know of a torrent downloader to enhance download speeds?
[06:08] <n2diy> daniellibanori: so do I, that's why I switched to linux!
[06:08] <stoned> Dr_willis: I need to do this, I don't want to download an iso
[06:08] <orbisvicis> anyone ever heard of libmp3lame and libfftw3 ?
[06:09] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  Hmm..  try it with sudo. (egads we are grasping at straws) it cant be a permission issue. Gotta be a driver bug sounds like.
[06:09] <maynards-girl> arrrghhh, i tried picking nvidia but it won't work
[06:09] <stoned> Dr_willis: this should be possible with ubuntu, and if not, then it really is worthless
[06:09] <daniellibanori> n2diy: I know it will work. I just dont want to lose my license
[06:09] <maynards-girl> arrrghhh, what else should i pick?
[06:09] <Dr_willis> stoned,  i never said it wasent.. and i dont agree with your logic.
[06:09] <arrrghhh> maynards-girl, have you tried nv?
[06:09] <Soth> stoned: perhaps if you whine about it a bit more that will help
[06:09] <maynards-girl> let me try that
[06:09] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, negative.
[06:09] <daniellibanori> n2diy: In the future, if I want to sell it, I will want to sell with windows included
[06:09] <n2diy> daniellibanori: Vista doesn't allow you to share your hard drive with linux?
[06:09] <stoned> I've been asking for a while too though
[06:10] <Bspec> in what directory are mozilla plugins installed?
[06:10] <stoned> the links that were given to me don't have anything like this
[06:10] <stoned> I read all ubuntu install guides
[06:10] <daniellibanori> n2diy: Man, it eated something about 445 GMb. Its too much for me
[06:10] <kevin57> Sorry to bother again, but does anyone know how to define a path? Any help is appreciated, thank you.
[06:10] <daniellibanori> ops, 45 Gb
[06:10] <stoned> I just want to confirm from someone who knows a thing about ubuntu beyond why xmms doesn't work
[06:10] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  Hmm..  Im running out of ideas.. at least ya can give out a lot of info on any bug repport you do.
[06:10] <hansin321> I have Fiesty installed that I want to upgrade to Gutsy Testing/Tribe.  Can I do this with some sort of dist-upgrade command, or do I need to do a reinstall from CD?
[06:10] <maynards-girl> does cntl + alt + backspace restart the thing?
[06:11] <n2diy> daniellibanori: So dual boot the box. What ate 445 gig?
[06:11] <daniellibanori> n2diy: I dont want dual boot... I dont want anything about MS. Just ubuntu.
[06:11] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  wonder if theres a gutsy livecd out.  That would be a big 'test' if it worked there..
[06:11] <arrrghhh> daniellibanori, so wipe it what's the problem
[06:11] <daniellibanori> n2diy: Vista taked something about 45 Gigabytes
[06:12] <daniellibanori> arrrghhh: I just want to lose my license or any right
[06:12] <sn0w> slavik_ http://pastebin.com/936480
[06:12] <n2diy> daniellibanori: So install linux, and let the future buyer worry about getting Winders?
[06:12] <daniellibanori> arrrghhh: I payed for this shit :(
[06:12] <arrrghhh> daniellibanori, you won't lose anything... just keep the discs & keys
[06:12] <Nutubuntu> !ohmy
[06:12] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:13] <daniellibanori> arrrghhh: OEM doesnt come with discs
[06:13] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  :) learning to swim by just diving in!.
[06:13] <daniellibanori> just the keys
[06:13] <Dr_willis> OEM 'should' of came with some restore disks.
[06:13] <arrrghhh> daniellibanori, that sucks, oem ripped you off
[06:13] <maynards-girl> arrrghhh, thanks resolution works using the nv. now onto other problem
[06:13] <slavik_> sn0w: i am out of ideas :(
[06:13] <arrrghhh> maynards-girl, no you fix my problem now
[06:13] <sn0w> dang, i bought this laptop purely to put ubuntu on it
[06:13] <slavik_> sn0w: try the alternate install cd
[06:13] <maynards-girl> arrrghhh, what do u need?
[06:14] <sn0w> i have a 30 gig partition with vista, and left 140 gig for ubuntu
[06:14] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, even with all the stuff thats going wrong, im still happier with it then vista. i herd people dis vista, but i figured they were just haters, until i got this laptop and I used vista for 5 hours and said to hell with that. I've been using windows since win 3.11.
[06:14] <Felarin> sn0w : Ubuntu does not need 140 gb
[06:14] <sn0w> yea i know
[06:14] <Felarin> 10 gb is more than enough
[06:14] <arrrghhh> maynards-girl, get hamachi workin
[06:14] <sn0w> im going to partition the rest out
[06:14] <stoned> ok
[06:14] <Felarin> ext3?
[06:14] <daniellibanori> My doubt is simple: case I need to reinstall Vista, should I need to pay for a new license?
[06:14] <maynards-girl> arrrghhh, what's that?
[06:14] <Felarin> you shoulda bought the dellbuntu laptop
[06:14] <Felarin> lol
[06:14] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  my wifes new laptop has vista.. she hates it also.. but wont give up the eyecandy/silly stuff she has in windows for linux. *yet*
[06:14] <stoned> so basically this is a useless distro hidin behind marketing and shiny interfaces
[06:14] <sn0w> but slavik_ after that am i going to run into these same problems
[06:14] <sn0w> Felarin lol
[06:14] <stoned> this is pathetic
[06:14] <slavik_> Felarin: many people like ubuntu more, thus give it more space in their heart (read: hdd) ^^
[06:14] <eggs> why is envy bad ?
[06:14] <arrrghhh> maynards-girl, nvm..
[06:14] <slavik_> sn0w: highly likely I think
[06:15] <dibblego> what command finds all users logged on a machine?
[06:15] <Dr_willis> eggs,  its not supported by ubuntu is one thing.
[06:15] <sn0w> problem with my video card?
[06:15] <daniellibanori> Felarin: I like Dell, but I choosed a thinkpad
[06:15] <emet> daniellibanori, no
[06:15] <Dr_willis> eggs,  ive heard it works. but not sure why its really needed for most people.
[06:15] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, yeah, i am totally digging the vista interface, its hot as hell... but as slow as it runs and just so many things chap my ass about it.
[06:15] <Nutubuntu> how weird ... /ignore isn't working ... :/
[06:15] <slavik_> sn0w: the other thing is to install the fglrx driver which I think will be somewhat painfull without GUI, another idea is to install, then download the driver and use knoppix with chroot
[06:15] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  she HATES the interface.. she just likes the side-bar thing and her 8-ball and weather report.
[06:15] <Felarin> slavik_: Giving space for an ext3 partition for storage is more logical
[06:15] <slavik_> Felarin: ext4 > ext3 :P
[06:16] <n2diy> daniellibanori: Your laptop is already licensed for Vista, no you don't need to pay for a new license, but you do need to get the OEM to supply you the disks, which he should have done to begin with.
[06:16] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, ... im sorry, but... smack her... or something...
[06:16] <Felarin> slavik_: ext20 > ext4
[06:16] <Felarin> whats your point?
[06:16] <slavik_> Dr_willis: I agree with CppIsWeird
[06:16] <slavik_> Felarin: you knwo about ext20?!
[06:16] <sn0w> slavik_ ok thanks, ill try that
[06:16] <Felarin> i take it that there is no point then
 > "ext20" > "ext4"
  False
[06:16] <daniellibanori> n2diy: thanks, I will ask them
[06:17] <administrator> hi, this newb hour yet? because I need some help
[06:17] <Nutubuntu> !ask
[06:17] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:17] <Jack_Sparrow> snow what video card
[06:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry I came in late
[06:17] <administrator> !ask
[06:17] <slavik_> sn0w: another idea for consideration is trying gutsy gibbon, maybe the drivers in that xorg are more updated and support express 1200
[06:18] <administrator> OK then....I'm following this guide http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4 to setup a server running Kubuntu
[06:18] <eggs> is it hard to update from 6.06 to a newer version?
[06:18] <administrator> I ran into some problems with terminal
[06:18] <sn0w> ok good idea
[06:18] <administrator> First off, letme tell you that bug on install that the file manager isn't closing the HDD is bad
[06:18] <administrator> real bad for install
[06:18] <administrator> as to my problem
[06:18] <daniellibanori> Thanks guys
[06:18] <administrator> whenever I launch terminal it crashes and I get logged out
[06:20] <Jack_Sparrow> HAs anyone tried the script Envy to install the latest video drivers ati or nvidia
[06:20] <Nutubuntu> !envy
[06:20] <administrator> also, why doesn't ubuntu's firefox have an "options" menu
[06:20] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[06:21] <arrrghhh> i think my video card is too new for ubuntu or something
[06:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Good to know
[06:21] <eggs> !update
[06:21] <arrrghhh> cuz it works... kinda - but my 2nd monitor (tv) doesn't work worth a crap
[06:21] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[06:21] <slavik_> administrator: it does, but in a different place (edit - > preferences)
[06:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Not the best support from ATI
[06:21] <Nutubuntu> administrator, do you mean Preferences (in Firefox)? If so, it's under the Edit menu
[06:22] <administrator> Yes thanks!!!
[06:22] <administrator> OK as to terminal, what do I need to do to give you more information?
[06:22] <administrator> It just crashes on launch
[06:22] <slavik_> administrator: prefs is the original one, they put it under tools for the windows version for the IE nubs :P
[06:22] <administrator> ah I see
[06:22] <slavik_> administrator: when you launch gnome-terminal, what is the error you get? if anything
[06:23] <administrator> no error, just blank screen and then a log out
[06:23] <jscinoz> is it possible to make a CD that redirects boot to a USB device for use on computers that cant directly boot off USB?
[06:23] <slavik_> administrator: we are talking about a terminal emulator, right (in a gui, not full screen)
[06:23] <Bspec> in what directory are mozilla plugins installed?
[06:24] <CppIsWeird> how come when i did a make on a file i want to build, i get a million errors and warnings?
[06:24] <administrator> Yes terminal emulator, its the default one in Kubuntu
[06:24] <slavik_> jscinoz: I think so, basically, the CD will actually boot, but enough to mount a USB drive and continue there, I think grub should support usb
[06:24] <slavik_> administrator: try running xterm (Alt+F2, then type in xterm)
[06:24] <Jack_Sparrow> jscinoz: If you can boot a cd why wouldnt you just make that the install?
[06:24] <jscinoz> slavik_ is there somewhere i can download an ISO to do this?
[06:25] <slavik_> jscinoz: not that I know off
[06:25] <slavik_> jscinoz: why would you need to boot from usb?
[06:25] <n2diy> slavik_: run xterm from xterm?
[06:25] <gantrixx> what can I use to burn an iso image on ubuntu?
[06:25] <jscinoz> I have a live USB installation of ubuntu that has too much data to fit on a CD or dvd
[06:25] <slavik_> n2diy: no, from the run program thingy
[06:25] <administrator> OK that works
[06:25] <ajmorris_> gantrixx, K3B
[06:25] <jscinoz> and usb is faster than CD anyway
[06:25] <Jack_Sparrow> gantrixx: I thought you could do that with a right click on the iso
[06:25] <administrator> im in
[06:25] <n2diy> gantrixx: k3b
[06:25] <slavik_> jscinoz: get knoppix and mount the drive ^^
[06:26] <gantrixx> thanks
[06:26] <slavik_> administrator: now type "konsole" there
[06:26] <slavik_> and see what erros you get
[06:26] <n2diy> gantrixx: ok, roger, a terminal isn't an xterm.
[06:26] <jscinoz> you're missing my point
[06:26] <n2diy> slavik_:  ok, roger, a terminal isn't an xterm.
[06:27] <jscinoz> I have an entire ubuntu installation on a usb HDD (80gb) most computers i use can boot straight off it but some older ones cant
[06:27] <slavik_> xterm is a terminal emulator :) like konsole and gnome-terminal :)
[06:27] <arrrghhh> jscinoz, only if the mobo allows it
[06:27] <administrator> The program "konsole" is currently not installed. You can install it by tyuping: sudo apt-get install konsole bash: konsole: command not found
[06:27] <jscinoz> i simply need a small cd image that can redirect boot from CD to USB, i've seen it done before but forgot what it was called
[06:27] <jscinoz> i know that arrghh.
[06:27] <gantrixx> where would I find K3B?
[06:27] <arrrghhh> administrator, so install it...
[06:27] <w116tjb> gantrixx: sudo apt-get install k3b
[06:27] <n2diy> jscinoz: miniiso?
[06:27] <slavik_> jscinoz: you need a CD/DVD which has grub on it to allow you to get to grub terminal, then you can boot anything from there
[06:28] <jscinoz> thanks n2diy
[06:28] <Jack_Sparrow> jscinoz: Have you read up on persistent folder ?
[06:28] <ajmorris_> anyone have the link to fix the known bug of firefox using too much RAM
[06:28] <gantrixx> I'm new to Ubuntu
[06:28] <gantrixx> I found it
[06:28] <esun819> how are you liking it
[06:28] <Nutubuntu> ajmorris_, did that persist into Firefox 2? I had that in 1.5, I know.
[06:29] <slavik_> ajmorris_: restart it
[06:29] <n2diy> jscinoz: mini.iso?
[06:29] <slavik_> firefox is using ram because it is caching some older pages you've already viewed
[06:29] <ajmorris_> Nutubuntu, yes it did
[06:29] <reed026> anyone know how to install the livehttpheaders?
[06:29] <jscinoz> hmm
[06:29] <slavik_> something about opera finding that people click back a lot
[06:29] <reed026> I can't seem to install it via Firefox
[06:29] <administrator> ok i ran sudo apt-get install konsole and I get E: could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock open (11 resource temporarilly unvailable
[06:29] <ajmorris_> slavik_, no, restarting does not fix the bug, you have to change some stuff in about:config, i can't remember what though
[06:30] <slavik_> administrator: are you on kde or gnome?
[06:30] <administrator> im on kubuntu
[06:30] <esun819> administrator: you have another synaptic open
[06:30] <esun819> or adept
[06:30] <slavik_> administrator: right click the launcher and tell what command it runs
[06:30] <administrator> yes I do...closing it
[06:30] <esun819> or another terminal using your package manager
[06:30] <esun819> yeah
[06:30] <esun819> try again
[06:30] <esun819> taht should fix it
[06:30] <administrator> k
[06:30] <administrator> works
[06:30] <slavik_> kde doesn't come with konsole?
[06:30] <administrator> more bloat? :(
[06:30] <esun819> great =)
[06:31] <esun819> i think it does
[06:31] <Nutubuntu> ajmorris_,  ... was it leaksram.likeseive.untilshutdown = 1, set to 0?
[06:31] <administrator> are you sure I should install this
[06:31] <esun819> alt + f2 -> konsole
[06:31] <slavik_> why is administratorinstalling it then
[06:31] <reed026> anyone know how to install the livehttpheaders? I can't seem to install it via Firefox.
[06:31] <slavik_> administrator: who said to install konsole?
[06:31] <james296> sorry to be off topic but this is VERY important for me and someone at my class, is it possible to boot from an external Western Digital HD on a HP Omnibook 500?
[06:31] <administrator> the terminal under applications isn't working
[06:31] <ajmorris_> Nutubuntu, no..... but i suppose that could help
[06:31] <administrator> uhhh
[06:31] <administrator> hold on
[06:31] <Nutubuntu> ;)
[06:31] <slavik_> james296: look up the system, we don't know
[06:31] <esun819> james296: check the bios setup and see if you have an option to boot from a USB device
[06:31] <k-os> is it possible to connect to internet via another computer? if so, where is the how-tol?
[06:31] <administrator> arrghh told me to install it
[06:32] <james296> I already know he does have that option
[06:32] <slavik_> administrator: well, don't ...
[06:32] <james296> but...
[06:32] <n2diy> james296:  check out http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[06:32] <administrator> OK so how do I fix terminal
[06:32] <james296> I tried to boot from a flash memory card, it detected it but couldnt boot from it
[06:32] <slavik_> administrator: right click on the launcher for the terminal and tell us the command it runs
[06:32] <ajmorris_> Nutubuntu, leaksram.likeseive.untilshutdown is not even there by default
[06:32] <james296> no his computer doesnt run linux at all
[06:32] <james296> it runs Windows 2000 Pro
[06:32] <slavik_> james296: hook the hdd up and see if it will get detected at all
[06:32] <Nutubuntu> lol
[06:33] <james296> but I accidently deleted his boot partition...
[06:33] <esun819> james296 you mean windows boot partition?
[06:33] <slavik_> james296: boot with win2k install cd and go to repair terminal and type "fixmbr"
[06:33] <slavik_> wait, the whole partition or the boot sector?
[06:34] <CppIsWeird> how come when i did a make on a file i want to build, i get a million errors and warnings?
[06:34] <james296> no it was a seperate partition in his HD that had Windows 98 that came preinstalled on the comp, but it wasnt labeled or anything so I figured it was wasting space
[06:34] <slavik_> CppIsWeird: something is wrong :P
[06:34] <esun819> cppisweird: make sure you have the dependencies installed
[06:34] <Dr_willis> CppIsWeird,  you got the build-essential stuff installed?
[06:34] <james296> he doesnt have a CD rom drive though
[06:34] <CppIsWeird> Dr_willis, that sounds like the problem. thx.
[06:34] <slavik_> james296: did you make a new aprtition there?
[06:34] <n2diy> CppIsWeird: you don't have build-essential installed?
[06:34] <wsjunior> hi guys i have a strange behavour here, sometimes the scroll of my touchpad stop working suddenly and then i found a bug (this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/68540) that says to simply swtich to a virtual terminal and come back to X session. actually this works but its extremly annoying to me have to do it everytime, does anybody know a real fix to this problem?
[06:34] <slavik_> james296: tell him to get a new computer with a cdrom drive
[06:35] <esun819> lol slavik_
[06:35] <james296> whats that gonna do if the boot partiton isnt on the comp and it doesnt have a CD rom drive?
[06:35] <arrrghhh> james296, did  you see the flash stick in the BIOS?
[06:35] <administrator> Hi, I crashed when I right clicked it
[06:35] <administrator> I thought linux wasn't sposed to crash
[06:35] <james296> it showed up in scrambled letters and symbols
[06:35] <slavik_> esun819: it's 2007, no reason to not have a cdrom drive ... hell DVD drive should be required for a legal operating computer
[06:35] <terayam> hello, I'm really new to Linux and I'm having some problems with a few KDE applictaions
[06:35] <arrrghhh> james296, like could you select it in the boot order?
[06:35] <james296> like it couldnt find the driver for it
[06:35] <esun819> whats the problem terayam
[06:35] <slavik_> administrator: make sure kubuntu-desktop package is installed
[06:36] <slavik_> administrator: linux didn't crash, X crashed :P
[06:36] <administrator> I'm pretty sure it is, how I do that though
[06:36] <james296> yes but it wasnt being read at all
[06:36] <administrator> ahhh ;)
[06:36] <slavik_> administrator: in adept, search for it
[06:36] <terayam> esun819:  neither my konqueror or Amarok can connect to the internet, but firefox and others have no problem at all
[06:36] <slavik_> !ask | terayam
[06:36] <ubotu> terayam: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:36] <arrrghhh> james296, hrm... i'm guessing there's no usb floppy or cd rom drives sittin around?
[06:36] <administrator> you mean synaptic?
[06:37] <slavik_> administrator: whatever you use
[06:37] <HorizonXP> hey
[06:37] <esun819> terayam: have you checked your proxy settings?
[06:37] <james296> we couldnt fix the boot partition using floppies so thats why Im wondering if an external HD should work even though the boot partition is removed
[06:37] <HorizonXP> i turned font smoothing on, but in some PDFs, the fonts are all squished together
[06:37] <james296> or would it end up like the flash drive was?
[06:37] <Nutubuntu> administrator, Synaptic is Ubuntu's (the Gnome flavor) gui package manager; adept is in Kubuntu ...
[06:37] <slavik_> james296: so his computer doesn't boot?
[06:38] <slavik_> james296: is it a compaq system?
[06:38] <james296> HP
[06:38] <arrrghhh> james296, you can boot a floppy?
[06:38] <james296> and no his computer doesnt boot
[06:38] <james296> yes
[06:38] <administrator> nutubuntu, are you sure? because I'm in synaptic right now and it came installed
[06:38] <arrrghhh> win98 boot disk
[06:38] <james296> not a USB flash drive though
[06:38] <arrrghhh> bootdisk.com
[06:38] <arrrghhh> james
[06:38] <Nutubuntu> HorizonXP, are the PDFs attempting to use fonts that the box doesn't have installed?
[06:38] <james296> the boot disk doesnt work
[06:38] <arrrghhh> james296, what do you mean...
[06:38] <terayam> esun819: I don't have a proxy and both are set to 'connect directly'
[06:38] <HorizonXP> nutubuntu: eVince didn't complain about that
[06:38] <james296> I need to use his Windows 2000 CD
[06:39] <arrrghhh> james296, no get a win98 boot disk
[06:39] <arrrghhh> bootdisk.com
[06:39] <Sharp_Payne> w00t. I fixed a sound problem by myself. Reading debug guides was a SOUND investment.
[06:39] <administrator> wtf? its not installed? wow wth
[06:39] <Sharp_Payne> I can change my name back now cause I don't risk embarrassment
[06:39] <james296> so thats why Im thinkin maybe if I write the Windows 2000 CD to my external HD and hook it up to his laptop, would it be recognized?
[06:39] <slavik_> administrator: install it :) and make sure it stays installed
[06:39] <mypapit> hmm
[06:39] <administrator> now it wants to install EVERYTHING
[06:39] <arrrghhh> james296, doubt it
[06:39] <slavik_> administrator: you want kubuntu, right?
[06:39] <administrator> from amrok to openoffice
[06:39] <slavik_> administrator: that is the point of the package, it is a meta package ...
[06:39] <arrrghhh> james296, what was wrong with the boot disk?  did you setup the disk correctly?
[06:39] <james296> I already used a Windows 98 boot disk
[06:40] <administrator> I'm following http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4 to build a server
[06:40] <administrator> first off why wasn't kubuntu-desktop installed in the first place
[06:40] <arrrghhh> james296, you should be able to fix the mbr with that...
[06:40] <james296> well he has VERY important information he wants to keep on his computer
[06:40] <james296> the files are still there
[06:40] <james296> it just cant boot
[06:40] <arrrghhh> uhm
[06:40] <HorizonXP> nutubuntu: I just installed msttcorefonts, that fixed it
[06:40] <slavik_> administrator: the guide sucks, they use nano
[06:40] <HorizonXP> thanks for the suggestion
[06:40] <arrrghhh> a win98 boot disk will boot dos
[06:40] <esun819> terayam: hmm.. are you using guarddog or any other firewall? or tor/privoxy?
[06:40] <administrator> nano is a distro?
[06:41] <Dr_willis> !info nano
[06:41] <administrator> !info nano
[06:41] <Phrozen_One[Away> has anyone in here had experience with Ubuntu in an educational \ lab enviroment?
[06:41] <Dr_willis> heh
[06:41] <Nutubuntu> HorizonXP, n/p
[06:41] <james296> the boot disk doesnt fix the boot partition it only boots to dos, hes right
[06:41] <n2diy> james296: so boot from a live cd, and move his stuff off the box via usb, whatever?
[06:41] <ubotu> nano: free Pico clone with some new features. In component main, is standard. Version 2.0.2-1 (feisty), package size 280 kB, installed size 1624 kB
[06:41] <arrrghhh> n2diy, no disc drive...
[06:41] <terayam> esun819:  Not to my knowledge, I just go wirelessly from this computer to a router to the internet.  Do I need to open ports or something?
[06:41] <SqrlKng> Hey all .. How many different "parts" are there to updating the nvidia driver?  There's glx (glx-new), the kernel module .. what else is there?
[06:41] <arrrghhh> nano is an editor...
[06:41] <slavik_> use vim
[06:41] <james296> how could I boot from a live CD if he has no CD rom drive
[06:41] <slavik_> or emacs if you feel masochistic
[06:41] <arrrghhh> SqrlKng, those are different drivers
[06:42] <arrrghhh> SqrlKng, legacy drivers & whatnot
[06:42] <administrator> well this guide is using kubuntu http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4
[06:42] <esun819> terayam: shouldn't have to, konqueror as web browser would use the default http 80 port
[06:42] <esun819> hmm
[06:42] <Nutubuntu> slavik_, s/masochistic/emacsochistic
[06:42] <n2diy> arrrghhh: so move the hard drive to another box?
[06:42] <slavik_> administrator: did you get kubuntu because of the guide?
[06:42] <james296> and live CD? Im talkin about Windows 2000 nothing linux related
[06:42] <wsjunior> does anybody know a definitive fix for this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/68540
[06:42] <administrator> slavik, yes
[06:42] <SqrlKng> the different glx ones, yeah, but whenever I try to boot it says that my driver version doesn't match the kernel version, or something like that -- and I thought I'd updated both of those
[06:42] <esun819> james296: you can get a USB cd drive
[06:42] <arrrghhh> james296, he's got a good point, move the hdd to your external enclosure & get the data off of it
[06:42] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: ty, from now on you shall be known as my personal spell checker/corrector :)
[06:42] <Phrozen_One[Away> has anyone worked out a single sign on solution for Ubuntu?
[06:42] <w116tjb> Xubuntu uses less resources...
[06:42] <terayam> esun819:  Thats what I figured, but I think it's strange that only konqueror and Amarok are affected
[06:42] <Nutubuntu> ;P
[06:42] <arrrghhh> james296, since i guess you're not willing to use the win98 boot disk properly
[06:43] <user1__> whats xbuntu
[06:43] <jscinoz> If i take my usb drive and plug it into a different computer, does it's UUID remain the same?
[06:43] <arrrghhh> user1__, a window manager, xfce
[06:43] <slavik_> user1__: a version of ubuntu that uses xfce isntead of gnome
[06:43] <esun819> terayam: that is really strange. sorry wish i had an idea what was going on there. have you checked launchpad for any similar errors?
[06:43] <w116tjb> A version of Ubuntu that uses the XFCE window manager.
[06:43] <w116tjb> It's more lightweight than Gnome.
[06:43] <james296> a USB CD rom drive is too expensive though
[06:43] <w116tjb> Better for older machines.
[06:43] <Bspec> in what directory are mozilla plugins installed?
[06:43] <user1__> but i want boxbuntu
[06:43] <esun819> what do you guys think of enlightenmet
[06:43] <esun819> *ment
[06:43] <esun819> E17
[06:44] <user1__> is there buxbuntu?
[06:44] <slavik_> Bspec: somewhere in ~/.mozilla
[06:44] <w116tjb> Boxbuntu?
[06:44] <user1__> yah
[06:44] <administrator> so your telling me I downloaded kubuntu iso burned it, and it didn't even include kubuntu-desktop????
[06:44] <arrrghhh> james296, if you have an external enclosure for a hdd and an internal cdrom drive that should work
[06:44] <esun819> there is a Fluxbuntu
[06:44] <user1__> *box buntu
[06:44] <slavik_> esun819: e17 is still alpha I think
[06:44] <user1__> fluxbuntu?
[06:44] <CppIsWeird> how do i search for a file on my computer?
[06:44] <administrator> http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4 it does
[06:44] <esun819> administrator: if you installed from the kubuntu CD it should be there by default
[06:44] <slavik_> CppIsWeird: search for files dialog, or locate in terminal
[06:44] <administrator> Yes oddly enough it isn'
[06:44] <slavik_> there is also find
[06:44] <Bspec> slavik_: so all mozilla based browsers get their plugins from that folder? including firefox and epiphany?
[06:44] <terayam> esun819:  I don't think I have that.  I'm on kubuntu, maybe thats why
[06:44] <esun819> CppIsWeird: i recommend installing beagle, it indexes your files
[06:44] <arrrghhh> administrator, you might have a bad iso
[06:44] <james296> no I dont have an internal cd rom drive for his laptop
[06:44] <administrator> rofl
[06:45] <slavik_> administrator: did you uninstall anything?
[06:45] <administrator> ...yes
[06:45] <n2diy> CppIsWeird: locate, find, etc...
[06:45] <esun819> terayam: go to https://launchpad.net/
[06:45] <w116tjb> Fluxbuntu is another lightweight distro, but I'd use Xubuntu before Fluxbuntu.
[06:45] <slavik_> tracker > beagle
[06:45] <esun819> its the site where bugs are listed for program
[06:45] <arrrghhh> james296, an internal cdrom drive at all
[06:45] <esun819> s
[06:45] <administrator> uh....stuff didn't need
[06:45] <administrator> multimedia, gaim etc etc (using chatzilla)
[06:45] <administrator> but as the guide stated made sure kubuntu-desktop wasn't uninstalled
[06:46] <james296> yes in my desktop computer but that is an IDE drive wont work
[06:46] <administrator> then ran into terminal problems
[06:46] <slavik_> administrator: kubuntu-desktop was there, you just removed it ... don't blindly remove packages please, I already killed a Fedora system twice this way
[06:46] <esun819> slavik_ : yeah it is, lol, i booted a live CD i was really interested in the mac-style dock
[06:46] <slavik_> ELF? what is ELF? gone!!! ... hey, why isn't anything working?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
[06:46] <Nutubuntu> ayb
[06:46] <administrator> But I made sure it was't really removed by checking the box
[06:46] <administrator> I'm not that delerious
[06:47] <Nutubuntu> Question about dump & restore. The description of dump says it's for the ext2 fs. Is it also compatible with ext3? I want to copy the /home partition from my old computer to my new one, which has new disks. The partitions are of different size. Some of the files are > 4GB. I think dump / restore may be my best choices, but I'm a n00b and would be grateful for advice from someone who's already done this.
[06:47] <orbisvicis> is there a problem with 7.04's x264 library, or was that an older ubuntu ?
[06:47] <administrator> Is it possible that kubuntu-desktop is removed even though it doesn't showup as removed
[06:47] <administrator> I removed some calculator crap
[06:47] <terayam> esun819:  join it then I guess?
[06:47] <administrator> abi word
[06:47] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: put both drives into same system, then use knoppix or such :)
[06:47] <arrrghhh> hey thanks for the beagle tip
[06:48] <intelikey>           i need to modify a script for gui use,  what command do you use for a "read -p"  in the xwindow ?
[06:48] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: tar cpf - -C /old/home/dir | tar xpf - -C /new/home/dir
[06:48] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: memorize that command
[06:48] <esun819> terayam: im looking on launchpad now, it doesnt look like there are any similar issues reported :S
[06:48] <slavik_> helped me pass sysadmin course on fbsd ^^
[06:48] <terayam> esun819: that's unfortunate
[06:48] <slavik_> ooh, it's wrong
[06:48] <Nutubuntu> slavik_, thanks ... that pipes the creation of the archive into the unpacking of the archive? Does it leave create/mod/access times alone?
[06:49] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: tar cpf - -C /old/home/dir . | tar xpf - -C /new/home/dir
[06:49] <slavik_> there
[06:49] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: not sure, didn't care for the access/creation times :P
[06:49] <slavik_> whatever default is :P
[06:49] <slavik_> p is for preserving permissions :)
[06:49] <esun819> sorry terayam
[06:49] <Nutubuntu> t/y slavik_ I'll read up on it ... I'm not clever about tar (yet)
[06:49] <SlickMcRunfast> How to I findout what filesytem a drive is thats not mounted?
[06:50] <CppIsWeird> if i just compiled something, how do i run it?
[06:50] <slavik_> Nutubuntu: man tar for the rest
[06:50] <intelikey> tar preserves perms by default
[06:50] <slavik_> SlickMcRunfast: that is something you have to know or be able to guess :)
[06:50] <palomer> very carefully
[06:50] <slavik_> or what palomer said
[06:50] <administrator> see when I try and remove something it says xubuntu-desktop is going to be removed, which means it still there right?
[06:50] <terayam> esun819:  It's alright, I don't mind so much about knoqueror, but for Amarok I'm a real big fan of shoutcast streams
[06:50] <shadeofgrey> okay folks. im ready to install ubuntu on my intel mac -- coreduo macbookpro
[06:50] <slavik_> administrator: no ...
[06:50] <shadeofgrey> i backed up everything and downloaded boot camp
[06:51] <slavik_> shadeofgrey: return it and get core2duo :P
[06:51] <intelikey>           i need to modify a script for gui use,  what command do you use for a "read -p"  in the xwindow ?    anyone ?
[06:51] <shadeofgrey> now i need help with the actual install process
[06:51] <slavik_> shadeofgrey: wasn't bootcamp for windows? grub is efi aware afaik
[06:51] <intelikey> celeron M     is that 32 or 64 bit ?
[06:51] <administrator> OK so best suggestion from here would be to install kubuntu-desktop and all the crap in it then remove stuff I don't need AGAIN?
[06:51] <slavik_> intelikey: no diea, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm
[06:51] <shadeofgrey> slavik_, you have to install bootcamp to get ubuntu runing on intel macs
[06:52] <intelikey> administrator install kde
[06:52] <slavik_> that give anything?
[06:52] <Fuentes12> [Iaeee, algum do Brasil ai para ajudaR?] 
[06:52] <slavik_> !br
[06:52] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[06:52] <administrator> kde?
[06:52] <Fuentes12> !br
[06:52] <administrator> im using kubuntu
[06:52] <jetscreamer> too slow
[06:52] <n2diy> administrator: no install, and don't remove anything.
[06:52] <administrator> but I'm trying to run a server
[06:52] <administrator>  I don't need open office
[06:52] <Nutubuntu> administrator, if you want a minimal KDE install, you could sudo apt-get install kde-core
[06:52] <slavik_> administrator: get the server isntall cd
[06:52] <jetscreamer> remove it
[06:53] <administrator> to fix my terminal?
[06:53] <intelikey> administrator oh you don't need any gui.   install the server installl
[06:53] <Nutubuntu> Oh ... for a server, what slavik_ said, administrator
[06:53] <administrator> lol yes I do
[06:53] <administrator> http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4
[06:53] <slavik_> administrator: with it, there won't be a terminal to fix ;)
[06:53] <n2diy> administrator: I thought you where trying to recover you buddies data?
[06:53] <slavik_> administrator: why you need X on a server?
[06:53] <administrator> .... no wrong guy
[06:53] <administrator> whats x?
[06:53] <slavik_> n2diy: wrong guy :P
[06:53] <jetscreamer> xorg
[06:53] <gaten> im seeing errors in dmesg indicating FAT: unable to read boot sector and so on. this is with multiple blank cds, think my drive is going bad?
[06:53] <jetscreamer> !info xorg
[06:53] <jscinoz> If i take a drive from one computer to another does the UUID change?
[06:53] <ubotu> xorg: X.Org X Window System. In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.2-0ubuntu11 (feisty), package size 25 kB, installed size 52 kB
[06:54] <n2diy> administrator: roger, sorry.
[06:54] <administrator> because I'm nub and get scared of black screens
[06:54] <slavik_> administrator: X is the stuff that shows you pretty pictures of ladies with no clotes ;) along with the desktop and such (stuff below KDE/Gnome)
[06:54] <jetscreamer> you can see all that in console
[06:54] <administrator> Who doesn't want that?!!!
[06:54] <Nutubuntu> o_O ... thought that was xxxserver ?
[06:54] <jetscreamer> you don't need X for that
[06:54] <administrator> Yea even this package manager shit is confusing enough
[06:54] <jetscreamer> mplayer
[06:54] <slavik_> jetscreamer: ascii art?
[06:54] <administrator> Install this that
[06:54] <slavik_> mplayer doesn't need an X server?
[06:54] <jetscreamer> no
[06:54] <jetscreamer> it's cool
[06:54] <administrator> brb
[06:54] <slavik_> jetscreamer: ooh, I did not know that :P
[06:55] <xenex> Would you guys suggest using http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/?
[06:55] <slavik_> jetscreamer: btw, you checked out SMPlayer yet?
[06:55] <slavik_> !info smplayer
[06:55] <ubotu> Package smplayer does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[06:55] <slavik_> :(
[06:55] <slavik_> xenex, yes, if you need
[06:55] <jetscreamer> no never seen it
[06:56] <n2diy> xenex: but avoid automatix
[06:56] <slavik_> jetscreamer: better than the mplayer supplied front end :P
[06:56] <xenex> n2diy, i know :P
[06:56] <slavik_> n2diy: I'm told automatix is safe now ... or still not?
[06:56] <jetscreamer> when i use mplayer it's in console or xterm... usually i just use mencoder, and xine-ui to watch stuff though
[06:56] <n2diy> ! automatic | slavik_
[06:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automatic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:57] <jetscreamer> x not c
[06:57] <slavik_> n2diy: I know what it is
[06:57] <n2diy> ! automatix | slavik_
[06:57] <ubotu> slavik_: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[06:57] <nano_> hi anybody knows about connecting to a usb device? got a problem, please help, thanks
[06:57] <Nutubuntu> !anyone
[06:57] <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?
[06:57] <xenex> slavik_, automatix broke my system 2 weeks ago
[06:57] <slavik_> nano_: conenct your device, you're welcome
[06:57] <n2diy> slavik_ doesn't appear to be supported?
[06:57] <slavik_> xenex: learned the hard way? :P
[06:57] <jscinoz> If i take a drive from one computer to another does the UUID change?
[06:57] <incandenzian> I just downloaded mldonkey, but there is no server list.
[06:57] <xenex> slavik_, ;p
[06:57] <jetscreamer> jscinoz: no
[06:58] <incandenzian> I just downloaded a server.met file, which Ubuntu says is a bin file
[06:58] <jetscreamer> jscinoz: only if you 'format' it
[06:58] <jscinoz> alright thanks
[06:58] <slavik_> jscinoz: no, UUID is generated using the serial of the drive or something like that
[06:58] <xenex> slavik_, it killed oss, xorg, and various other things
[06:58] <jetscreamer> partition
[06:58] <jscinoz> ok, so if i have a USB hdd and a boot cd with grub on it, i shouldnt need to change the grub entry on the CD?
[06:58] <jscinoz> on different computers
[06:58] <slavik_> jscinoz: no
[06:58] <jetscreamer> no don't think so, never tried personally though
[06:59] <colbert> I have installed Feisty but kept my Edgy, I want to copy over my crontab from it to this install, how do I do it ??
[06:59] <jetscreamer> cp -a
[06:59] <ddcc> Hi, i'm trying to run this " sudo iptables -A DROP -p TCP -m state --state ESTABLISHED tcp --sport 15779 --tcp-flags ALL RST" to get iptables to add a rule to drop tcp rst packet that are established from port 15779. Iptables doesn't accept the rule though, it tells me that "No chain/target/match by that name." I'm on Ubuntu feisty. Help would be appreciated.
[06:59] <slavik_> colbert: mount the other isntall, find crontab and move it over ...
[06:59] <jscinoz> i'm following the grub CD guide at http://orgs.man.ac.uk/documentation/grub/grub_3.html#SEC11 but i dont have a /usr/share/grub directory, should i?
[06:59] <nano_> hi slavik_ i already did connect it but it does not mount automatically
[06:59] <Fuentes12> [install HSP56 MicroModem in Ubuntu 7.04? ? ?? ??] 
[06:59] <Fuentes12> [HELP] 
[06:59] <slavik_> nano_: try reinstalling hald package
[06:59] <slavik_> nano_: then rebooting
[07:00] <nano_> hald package?
[07:00] <nano_> slavik_: hald package?
[07:00] <slavik_> nano_: next time please start with the actual problem (automount no worky)
[07:00] <slavik_> nano_: yes
[07:00] <n2diy> colbert: back up your old fstab!!!
[07:00] <jetscreamer> there is a package for those iirc, Fuentes12 ... can't rem the name.. it's not slmodem... go to linmodems.org
[07:00] <orbisvicis> is ./configure --with-pic important for amd64?
[07:00] <jetscreamer> !linmodem
[07:00] <administrator> OK heres my problem, I'm trying to run a server, thats able to to download torrents and work something like this guide http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4
[07:00] <slavik_> nano_: in synaptic, find it and choose reinstall
[07:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linmodem - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:00] <jetscreamer> !linmodems
[07:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linmodems - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:00] <administrator> Should I use kubuntu?
[07:00] <administrator> its slow computer
[07:00] <jetscreamer> lobotomizedbot
[07:00] <jscinoz> is there a quick command to return the UUID of a specific drive (/dev/sdc1)
[07:01] <slavik_> administrator: stop trying to follow a guide that claims to show you how to set up everything, isntead use forums and wiki for guides
[07:01] <bulmer> jscinoz: mount
[07:01] <jetscreamer> ls /dev/disk/by-uuis
[07:01] <jetscreamer> err uuid
[07:01] <Dr_willis> uuid :) heh
[07:01] <n2diy> ! winmodem | jetscreamer
[07:01] <nano_> slavik_: is this also applicable if this device was seen in lsusb?
[07:01] <jscinoz> jetscreamer, that just shows a list, how can itell which corresponds to which drive?
[07:01] <jetscreamer> i know what a winmodem is
[07:01] <Frogzoo> ddcc: you need to add that to the right table for starters, OUTPUT I think in this case, and it's '-j DROP' to drop the packet
[07:01] <slavik_> nano_: yes
[07:01] <jetscreamer> i don't know what the bot knows
[07:01] <administrator> point taken, however I should start with a strong base and should that be kubuntu or is there a server version of ubuntu?
[07:01] <slavik_> nano_: reinstalling hald worked for me, ymmv
[07:01] <ubotu> jetscreamer: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[07:01] <jetscreamer> there is a server version
[07:01] <Dr_willis> jscinoz,  ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid shows drive --> uuid
[07:02] <jscinoz> thanks
[07:02] <slavik_> administrator: there is a server version
[07:02] <ddcc> ok, i'll try that shouldn't it be input though, since it's coming from a foreign host?
[07:02] <Dr_willis> jscinoz,  thers a lot of neat things in /dev/disk :)
[07:02] <slavik_> administrator: please don't rush this and take things slowly, also keep a log of stuff you do (when you change config files and such) otherwise, you'll be a crappy sysadmin :)
[07:02] <jscinoz> hehe
[07:02] <SqrlKng> Hey, I think I've gotten my computer to work with the nvidia driver (because my screen resolution is fixed), but it still seems like it's not working .. for example, the visualization in totem is still very laggy
[07:03] <jetscreamer> SqrlKng: run glxinfo in an xterm and see who provides glx and gl
[07:03] <administrator> OK thanks for advice, you recommend server version of ubuntu for simple home server needs?
[07:03] <Frogzoo> ddcc: then why sport=15779?
[07:03] <slavik_> administrator: anything that is linux or freebsd will work for you
[07:03] <n2diy> administrator: ditto what slavik_ said, a notebook will bail you out of a jam.
[07:03] <sx66> Lag: 0.3
[07:03] <jetscreamer> glx and opengl
[07:03] <slavik_> and I really mean anything
[07:03] <slavik_> anything *nix
[07:03] <Frogzoo> ddcc: explain one more time what you want
[07:03] <ddcc> oh
[07:03] <jetscreamer> if you want a server install a server
[07:03] <ddcc> whoops
[07:04] <ddcc> i got confused.
[07:04] <ddcc> i was thinking that on their side it's source port, but on my side it's dport
[07:04] <jetscreamer> instal what you want, you can always apt-get install or apt-get remove something
[07:04] <SqrlKng> jetscreamer:  It says "Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"."
[07:04] <nano_> slavik_: no hald in here --- or hal?
[07:04] <Frogzoo> ddcc: you just want to drop connections to port 15779 ?
[07:04] <slavik_> SqrlKng: glx isn't getting loaded
[07:04] <jetscreamer> SqrlKng: apt-cache search nvidia | grep glx and install something maybe
[07:04] <m0> hello, why does LN  (when doing ln -f -d /home/mydir /home/m0/temp/mydir  (if I do that twice) it does nested symbloic links?
[07:04] <ddcc> established tcp reset connections, yes
[07:04] <m0> is that a bug?
[07:05] <ddcc> *packets*
[07:05] <slavik_> ddcc: isntall firestarter and use that to admin the firewall
[07:05] <burnerx> i got a server setup and changed from dhcp to static ip and now i can't ping out other than localhost
[07:05] <administrator> I want the "ease" of ubuntu for linux, I'm a windows nub and don't want to be dealing with some crazy linux distrobution
[07:05] <writingsama> hey guys...I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 notebook, ATI mobility x1400, 1gig RAM, trying to install ubuntu 7.04. the liveCD didn't work so I did an alternate install. booted up, X won't start yet again. says no monitor found. xorg.conf has my device as "vesa" which should work. any thoughts?
[07:05] <slavik_> administrator: then keep all of kubuntu, besides OpenOffice just sits on hdd
[07:05] <Music_Shuffle> Crazy is relative.  :P
[07:05] <KingMoila> !logitech
[07:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about logitech - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:05] <jscinoz> i downloaded the grub cvs, and i'm looking for a stage2_eltorito file but i cant find it anywhere, where can i find it?
[07:05] <JMak642> mike3_: i got my rt2500 working, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241565&highlight=WMP54G and mike3_ to thank for it
[07:05] <esun819> writingsama: go to the failsafe terminal and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:06] <ddcc> frogzoo: i remember reading that firestarter prompts for the root password on startup, right?
[07:06] <esun819> or boot into recovery mode
[07:06] <esun819> and type that
[07:06] <jetscreamer> jscinoz: stage stuff is in /boot/grub , maybe elsewhere not sure
[07:06] <KingMoila> Hi, how can I enable my side buttons in Logitech's MX1000 mouse?
[07:06] <writingsama> esun819: will that work if my wireless wouldn't configure yet?
[07:06] <slavik_> ddcc: not for root, but for someone with sudo rights
[07:06] <SqrlKng> slavik_:  Any ideas on fixing?  I've updated and downloaded everything I can find with "nvidia" in the name, pretty much
[07:06] <jscinoz> ok thanks
[07:06] <n2diy> writingsama:   check out http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[07:06] <administrator> OK I'm downloading kubuntu-desktop right now (this is so cool I don't need to restart) anyway I have a HDD problem, I can't delete stuff off my second hard drive
[07:06] <Nutubuntu> Will the dump/restore package available for Feisty -- which says it's for ext2 fs -- also work for ext3 fs?
[07:06] <slavik_> SqrlKng: make sure the glx file is there? (gimmie the pastebin link again)
[07:06] <esun819> writingsama: it should work even without wireless, you just have to configure it to use the proper video settigs
[07:06] <ddcc> ok, thanks slavik
[07:06] <JMak642> so can anyone advise as to what it is going to take to get my monitor to go to 1920x1200
[07:06] <jetscreamer> jscinoz: sudo updatedb && locate eltorito or something
[07:06] <slavik_> JMak642: proper video driver
[07:06] <esun819> when you booted from the live CD, was the xserver okay?
[07:07] <writingsama> esun819: I configured during setup, I added 1024x768 and 1280x800 (native res), will this be any different?
[07:07] <SqrlKng> slavik_:  Which pastebin link didja want?
[07:07] <jscinoz> thanks :)
[07:07] <slavik_> SqrlKng: the log stuff
[07:07] <slavik_> from X
[07:07] <jetscreamer> note updatedb can take a while
[07:07] <Nutubuntu> administrator, if you want a minimal KDE gui look up kde-core - less "stuff" is installed than with kde-desktop, might be what you're looking for
[07:07] <Frogzoo> ddcc: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 15779 --tcp-flags ACK RST -j DROP : I think
[07:07] <esun819> writingsama: you should only choose the native res when you reconfigure the xserver
[07:07] <esun819> its a lil dodgy
[07:07] <MISTERTibbs> Nutubuntu, actually KDEbase will give you just the gui w/o most of the applications
[07:08] <writingsama> esun819: ok thanks. guess I'll be back if it doesn't work.
[07:08] <SqrlKng> slavik_: I think it was this one.. http://pastebin.ca/589674
[07:08] <slavik_> wait, why you want to reset connections? don't you want to stop the from happening?
[07:08] <esun819> writingsama: just try the dpkg-reconfigure
[07:08] <esun819> and choose from the settings
[07:08] <JMak642> slavik_: i have just installed the nvidia-glx package
[07:08] <esun819> good luck!
[07:08] <writingsama> tx!
[07:08] <slavik_> (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libglx.so
[07:08] <JMak642> but the res doesnt show up on the menu
[07:08] <ddcc> ok frogzoo, let me try that...
[07:08] <ddcc> i've installed firestarter too
[07:08] <Nutubuntu> MISTERTibbs, yes ... one of the two might work for administrator
[07:09] <slavik_> JMak642: I am not the nvidia guy, sorry ... make sure the res is listed in the resolution changing palce
[07:09] <JMak642> where is that place?
[07:09] <MISTERTibbs> Nutubuntu, just my $.02 for the chat, lol!
[07:09] <burnerx> can anyone help ?
[07:09] <slavik_> JMak642: kde or gnome?
[07:09] <burnerx> i got a server setup and changed from dhcp to static ip and now i can't ping out other than localhost
[07:09] <jetscreamer> JMak642: what vid card
[07:09] <Nutubuntu> :)
[07:09] <administrator> So how do I disable @ nutubuntu I just want to fix my GUI terminal
[07:09] <JMak642> slavik_: gnome
[07:09] <esun819> JMak642: try nvidia-xsettings or sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[07:09] <slavik_> burnerx: you need to set the router :)
[07:09] <administrator> Anyway I have another question, how do I delete stuff off my second HDD?
[07:09] <ddcc> frogzoo, it's successully added.
[07:09] <slavik_> JMak642: system - prefs - screen resolution
[07:09] <ddcc> i'm going to test if it works or not
[07:10] <ddcc> thanks alot!
[07:10] <slavik_> administrator: mount it an rm stuff :)
[07:10] <burnerx> slavik_: what to set in the router ?
[07:10] <Nutubuntu> administrator, I really am "Nu" ... just know a very little about installing kubuntu. Sorry
[07:10] <slavik_> s/an/and
[07:10] <jetscreamer> administrator: just mount it and rm -R /mountpoint/*
[07:10] <slavik_> burnerx: the ip address of your router
[07:10] <slavik_> administrator: you want to get rid of everything on that drive?
[07:10] <administrator> @ slavik and jetscreamer, how I mount it?
[07:10] <administrator> yes
[07:10] <GuyFromHell> alright i'm officially confused. My mp3 player's disk is (finally) writeable. I have everythign set up. i press transfer on amarok and the disk instantly becomes non-writeable. transfering stuff through nautilus works fine though.
[07:10] <burnerx> slavik_: for the server machine ?
[07:10] <administrator> Its just recycle bin stuff
[07:10] <orbisvicis> does the --with-pic option slow down the program?
[07:10] <jetscreamer> administrator: if you copied stuff from it then it is
[07:11] <jetscreamer> JMak642: what vid card
[07:11] <administrator> letover from windows
[07:11] <slavik_> administrator: then 'sudo dd of=/dev/hdwhatever if=/dev/zero'
[07:11] <slavik_> and wait
[07:11] <administrator> k
[07:11] <administrator> how I launch the real terminal then again?
[07:11] <administrator> my GUI one isn't working
[07:11] <slavik_> burnerx: yes, your server is behind a router/nat/firewall right?
[07:11] <jetscreamer> sd usually in ubuntu inmyexp
[07:11] <slavik_> administrator: xterm
[07:11] <administrator> alt
[07:11] <slavik_> alt+f2
[07:11] <administrator> thanks
[07:12] <jetscreamer> ctrl+alt+f2 when in gui
[07:12] <jetscreamer> alt+f7 to get back
[07:12] <GuyFromHell> (found it, FAT: Filesystem panic)
[07:12] <slavik_> jetscreamer: no
[07:12] <burnerx> slavik_: i think so....
[07:12] <jetscreamer> o
[07:12] <slavik_> burnerx: then whatever it's IP is
[07:12] <raddy> Hello Everybody
[07:13] <slavik_> its*
[07:13] <raddy> I recently installed Ubuntu 7.04
[07:13] <slavik_> anyway, night all ...
[07:13] <raddy> from live cd
[07:13] <slavik_> raddy: state the problem, help will come faster
[07:13] <raddy> now i am experiencing two problems
[07:13] <MISTERTibbs> raddy, explain
[07:13] <Nutubuntu> g'night slavik_ be well
[07:14] <vletmix> I just installed ubuntu on a drive which resides on an sata card (not my primary drive) and it won't even bring up the boot menu
[07:14] <raddy> 1 > fsck running for windows filesystems too "everytime"
[07:14] <slavik_> raddy: youa re being like some of my friends, who instroduce their problems for 5 minutes, which pisses me off, because they call me isntead of using IM ...
[07:14] <slavik_> raddy: could you rephrase that?
[07:14] <raddy> that increases the bootup time and comes out from graphical boot
[07:15] <slavik_> fsck runs for windows volumes?
[07:15] <raddy> 1 > fsck running for windows filesystems too "everytime"
[07:15] <slavik_> too = 2? or too = ,too ,
[07:15] <jetscreamer> yes probably even for ntfs if you have ntfsprogs but no idea
[07:16] <vletmix> raddy: you mean it's running fsck on your windows partition every time you boot?
[07:16] <slavik_> hmm, latter ... start by removing them from fstab I guess, or are they FAT(32)?
[07:16] <raddy> slavik_: ok, fsck checking windows filesystems also in everyboot, that increases bootup time and comes out of graphical bot
[07:16] <raddy> boot
[07:16] <slavik_> or boot into windows to fix the ntfs journal (or wipe the mft like my winxp did)
[07:16] <jetscreamer> make the end of the line in fstab be 0 0 not what it is
[07:16] <raddy> that problem not existed in live cd
[07:16] <xenex> W: GPG error: http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org feisty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 3FF0DB166A7476EA
[07:16] <xenex> How would I fix that?
[07:16] <jetscreamer> edit /etc/fstab
[07:16] <slavik_> raddy: betetr, sorry for being Major Hardass, but it's late and I am really tired. :P
[07:16] <jetscreamer> you would install the key
[07:17] <slavik_> xenex: you can ignore it if you trust the source
[07:17] <jetscreamer> one sec
[07:17] <xenex> slavik_, yeah but I can't apt-get update
[07:17] <nano_> slavik_: still dont get mounted
[07:17] <slavik_> xenex: update still goes through, unless something was changed
[07:17] <xenex> slavik_, well i would like it to go away :p
[07:17] <slavik_> nano_: search for the problem on forums, there is one where you reinstall more packages, that did it for me
[07:18] <slavik_> night all
[07:18] <administrator> noo
[07:18] <administrator> ctrl+alt+f2 crashed everything
[07:18] <raddy> 2 > problem, important one, my realtek based wired assus ethernet controller is not usable
[07:18] <Dr_willis> that should of went to the CONSOLE.
[07:18] <jetscreamer> gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 3FF0DB166A7476EA && gpg --export 3FF0DB166A7476EA | sudo apt-key add -
[07:18] <JMak642> esun819: that worked
[07:18] <administrator> whats the command so I can wipe disk 2 and be able to delete and create suff on it
[07:18] <raddy> it is detecting
[07:18] <nano_> yea, thanks, whats the purpose of this room
[07:18] <Dr_willis> alt0ctrl-F7 should get back to X
[07:19] <jetscreamer> mkfs
[07:19] <administrator> ctrl+alt+f2 crashes system
[07:19] <administrator> trying to fix why terminal isn't working
[07:19] <Dr_willis> administrator,  define 'crash'
[07:19] <Dr_willis> did it run into a tree and burst into flames?
[07:19] <administrator> well, ctrl+alt+f2 creates black screen
[07:19] <raddy> but not getting connecteed
[07:19] <raddy> tried dhcp
[07:19] <Dr_willis> did alt-ctrl-F7 get back to the X display?
[07:19] <administrator> but when I try and access GUI terminal it just blacks out and logges me out
[07:19] <jetscreamer> administrator: is that the live cd? do ctrl alt f1
[07:19] <administrator> no
[07:19] <n2diy> Dr_willis: Crash and burn?
[07:20] <administrator> no live CD full kubuntu install and terminal isn't working
[07:20] <jetscreamer> left ctrl left alt
[07:20] <jetscreamer> just run an xterm
[07:20] <administrator> yea I do
[07:20] <Dr_willis> administrator,  sounds to me like ya got either a currupted install, or cd badly burnt. or somthing else.. odd.
[07:20] <administrator> but why all others broken
[07:20] <jetscreamer> disable x starting
[07:20] <administrator> x starting?
[07:20] <jetscreamer> X
[07:21] <administrator> sorry I'm super unixnewb
[07:21] <jetscreamer> chmod -x /etc/init.d/kdm
[07:21] <n2diy> jetscreamer: where is the left key? :)
[07:21] <jetscreamer> +x to restore
[07:21] <jetscreamer> left alt
[07:21] <Dr_willis> Whers that ANY key at!
[07:21] <administrator> woah too fast
[07:21] <jetscreamer> left ctrl
[07:21] <jetscreamer> see also apt-get remove --purge kdm
[07:21] <raddy> it used r1000.ko previously
[07:22] <raddy> but now merged to the kernel tree
[07:22] <administrator> @ dr_willis any way to troubleshoot?
[07:22] <jetscreamer> grep -i zap /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:22] <raddy> it worked fine in opensuse 10.2
[07:22] <nj786> is there a way i can get an update on totem?
[07:22] <nj786> like a newer version
[07:22] <chopchop_> hi, how can i download multiple files with wget and have it display the process in total?
[07:22] <administrator> or should I redownload reburn and reinstall kubuntu again?
[07:23] <n2diy> chopchop_: wget file1 >> file2 server?
[07:24] <raddy> anybody has a clue?????
[07:24] <jetscreamer> administrator: you have to compare the time it might take you to fix it vs the time it will take you to reinstall
[07:24] <nj786> is there a way i can just add in a url link to a media player and it will play the movie form online?
[07:24] <zoidberg_> hey guys can someone help me update from dappaer to edgy
[07:24] <RoC_MasterMind> !update
[07:24] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:24] <wols_> nj786: some can, some can't. it's called streaing. vlc usually can
[07:24] <Nutubuntu> administrator, if you're thinking of re-doing the install, maybe try the server install instead of full-on kubuntu. When it's installed successfully add kde-core or kde-base for a minimal KDE environment.
[07:24] <administrator> @ jetscreawmer all i'm trying to do is build a simple home server using http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4
[07:24] <jetscreamer> administrator: and of course what you feel like doing
[07:25] <chopchop_> n2diy: what does that mean? :?
[07:25] <zoidberg_> when i do the gksu thing i get this message saying "authentication failed"
[07:25] <administrator> try Ubuntu server?
[07:25] <zoidberg_> any help?
[07:25] <user1__> anyone suggest a good notebook? i want it small and light, long battery life, fast with 1G ram or above, and cheap
[07:25] <jetscreamer> administrator: might be quicker to reinstall, but how did it break, or did it ever work?
[07:25] <administrator> computer is really slow
[07:25] <Jordan_U> zoidberg_, Just ask :)
[07:25] <Dion> Hey everyone, I'm thinking about installing off the live CD but during boot i get a message [199.9000000]  buffer i/o error on device fd0, logical block 0 so I'm a bit weary thus far....What are the implications of this message??
[07:25] <zoidberg_> "authenticating the upgrade failed....there might be an error in the server'?
[07:25] <n2diy> chopchop_: wget file1 >> file2 means get file1, and then file2, server is where ever the files are.
[07:26] <administrator> IDK i uninstalled a couple open office packages and a few others and boom try terminal out for first time it doesn't work
[07:26] <Jordan_U> Dion, fd0 is your floppy drive
[07:26] <zoidberg_> Jordan_U, i'm trying to upgrade to edgy from dapper.,,, the gksu thing is giving me problems
[07:26] <Nutubuntu> Dion, it suggests that you don't have a floppy; try turning off the CMOS setting for the floppy
[07:26] <administrator> IDK whether thats because of my ineptability at uninstalling stuff I odn't want or kubuntu itsself
[07:26] <jetscreamer> it says you don't have a floppy in your floppy drive dion... if you put one in it will stfu
[07:26] <youssef_2> Hello. I have upgraded from Dapper to Edgy then to Feisty. Now I can not boot on Feisty because it freezes at an early stage (black screen)
[07:26] <jetscreamer> but it will do it's job if you don't
[07:26] <Jordan_U> zoidberg_, What kind of problems?
[07:26] <chopchop_> n2diy: that means it'll download file1 then file2 or both in the same time ?
[07:26] <jetscreamer> takes longer it seems
[07:26] <Dion> wow, that was too simple, I appreaciate the info guys!
[07:27] <zoidberg_> Jordan_U, it says "authentication failed" when i try to upgrade
[07:27] <nj786> wols_ ok can you show me ho to do it?
[07:27] <nj786> on VLC
[07:27] <Jordan_U> zoidberg_, Try running: sudo apt-get update
[07:27] <Nutubuntu> Will the dump/restore package available for Feisty -- which says it's for ext2 fs -- also work for ext3 fs?
[07:27] <administrator> what packages are needed to run terminal
[07:27] <n2diy> chopchop_: wget, I believe so, check the wget man page to be sure. For most operations like that, that is the correct syntax.
[07:28] <jetscreamer> administrator: did you ever apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade after you installed?
[07:28] <levander> I've just enabled "Desktop Effects".  Now, how do I switch desktops and get the revolving cube graphics?
[07:28] <jetscreamer> could help
[07:28] <chopchop_> n2diy: ok, ill go and read man page :(
[07:28] <zoidberg_> Jordan_U, i get this error
[07:28] <jetscreamer> administrator: if that's an older box you might consider xubuntu or so
[07:28] <zoidberg_> Jordan_U,  i will PM it to u
[07:29] <Jordan_U> !paste | zoidberg_
[07:29] <ubotu> zoidberg_: 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)
[07:29] <n2diy> chopchop_: GL,
[07:29] <administrator> @jetscreamer if that means simply opening synaptic cllicking mark upgrades and installing thats a YES
[07:29] <administrator> I am running kubuntu I'm following http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4
[07:30] <zoidberg_> Jordan_U, sorry i already sent u a PM...lol...i'll do that next time
[07:30] <administrator> When it said open terminal terminal crashed
[07:30] <jetscreamer> administrator: yes but you have to update the sources also
[07:30] <administrator> how I update sources?
[07:30] <jetscreamer> probably did automatic
[07:30] <zoidberg_> Jordan_U, did u get the PM though?
[07:30] <Jordan_U> zoidberg_, Do it anyways, so other people here can look at it and help
[07:30] <jetscreamer> there's a button, top left i think
[07:30] <Jordan_U> zoidberg_, Yes
[07:30] <levander> There's no guide available as to what you can do with this Desktop Effects thing?  I just figured out "Ctrl Alt Up".  What else is there?
[07:30] <chopchop_> n2diy: thanks, though
[07:31] <administrator> so should I just uninstall terminal then reinstall?
[07:31] <jetscreamer> uh
[07:31] <jetscreamer> you don't just uninstall the console
[07:31] <administrator> lol
[07:31] <zoidberg_> guys can somebody help me
[07:31] <jetscreamer> you do mean console not xterm eh
[07:31] <zoidberg_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27234/
[07:31] <administrator> the GUI
[07:31] <jetscreamer> ah it's the terminal
[07:31] <administrator> whats xterm? That "linux"
[07:31] <jetscreamer> xterminal
[07:31] <jetscreamer> the gui cmd window thing
[07:31] <Jordan_U> levander, Look at any tutorial for compiz, you might also want to download the compiz settings manager, it will also tell you all of the key bindings
[07:32] <administrator> well xterm works but "Terminal" on my menu doesn't
[07:32] <jetscreamer> apt-get install konsole
[07:32] <jetscreamer> or use synaptic
[07:32] <administrator> are you sure? Last time I was told not to do that
[07:32] <jetscreamer> well it's the default kde terminal afaik
[07:32] <administrator> because konsole isn't default to kubuntu
[07:32] <Jordan_U> administrator, What happens when you run "gnome-terminal" from xterm?
[07:32] <jetscreamer> ah
[07:32] <jetscreamer> what is
[07:32] <administrator> at least I don't thing
[07:32] <administrator> think*
[07:33] <Jordan_U> jetscreamer, gnome-terminal
[07:33] <RockSteady> y is the samba shares sometimes missing of files and folders? anyone have any ideas?
[07:33] <jetscreamer> !info konsole
[07:33] <ubotu> konsole: X terminal emulator for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu20.1 (feisty), package size 731 kB, installed size 2228 kB
[07:33] <administrator> how I run gnome-terminal
[07:33] <jetscreamer> in kubuntu?
[07:33] <administrator> yessir
[07:33] <gregorovius> has anyone been able to install torrentflux from the repositories? I get all sorts of DB errors
[07:33] <Frogzoo> administrator: it's in the menu
[07:33] <Jordan_U> administrator, Oh, I thought you were running regular Ubuntu
[07:33] <Jordan_U> ( gnome )
[07:33] <administrator> Acessories > Terminal?
[07:33] <administrator> NO running Kubuntu
[07:34] <administrator> trying to setup server http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/4
[07:34] <jetscreamer> apt-get install konsole
[07:34] <n2diy> zoidberg_: so, did you run apt-get update?
[07:34] <jetscreamer> won't hurt anything
[07:34] <Nutubuntu> good night all, good luck to everyone
[07:34] <linux_user400354> does anyone have experience with forwarding ports with ssh? i need some help. i haven been able to get it working.
[07:34] <jetscreamer> apt-get install konsole gnome-terminal if you want :)
[07:34] <administrator> Is that whats supposed to be working on my computer right now?
[07:34] <zoidberg_> n2diy, yeah thats what i get when i run apt-get update....i just installed dapper fresh from a cd
[07:34] <Jordan_U> linux_user400354, Forewarding ports with ssh or for ssh?
[07:34] <crazy_bus> dpkg and apt are broken.  dpkg --configure -a doesn't come up with any errors but doesn't fix the problem.  Here is a pastbin of some of the error messages; http://pastebin.ca/589769
[07:35] <linux_user400354> Jordan_U: with
[07:35] <jetscreamer> administrator: i don't know what the default terminal is for kubuntu.. for kde it's konsole, al i know
[07:35] <administrator> All i want is terminal to work, it bugs me when I have huge crash bugs like this, or should I just use xterm and unisntall this terminal in my accesories menu?
[07:35] <raddy> can anybody help me in my second problem?
[07:35] <jetscreamer> i use xterm by choice myself
[07:35] <raddy> realtek based wired ethernet controller is not usable
[07:35] <n2diy> zoidberg_: ok,  run apt-get gpg, and try it again.
[07:35] <jetscreamer> ahh
[07:36] <administrator> whats KDE? isn't that on Kubuntu?
[07:36] <Jordan_U> linux_user400354, That doesn't seem possible. Unless I misunderstand what you mean
[07:36] <n2diy> zoidberg_: ok,  run apt-get update gpg, and try it again.
[07:36] <jetscreamer> administrator: kde is the k in kubuntu afaik
[07:36] <linux_user400354> Jordan_U: use google before you go assuming things
[07:37] <administrator> ok lets forget about this little terminal problem I'm having and fix this HDD problem...its in "readonly" mode how do I get it out of that? and why is linux setup to make it read only? wtf happened to usability?
[07:38] <Frogzoo> administrator: it means your / file system didn't pass muster
[07:38] <Jordan_U> linux_user400354, Do you mean tunneling?
[07:38] <zoidberg_> n2diy, it says apt-get update takes no arguments?
[07:38] <Toma-> has anyone had wubi work successfully? Im gettintg a username error
[07:38] <administrator> whats muster?
[07:38] <jetscreamer> i think you can right click the icon and remount it rw, but those files (on the old hd you want to delete) are owned by root probably
[07:38] <Frogzoo> administrator: why doesn't / fsck ? did your install not complete?
[07:38] <zoidberg_> n2diy, and apt-get gpg says invalid operation gpg
[07:38] <n2diy> zoidberg_: ok, try getting gpg again?
[07:39] <administrator> @ frogzoo whats fsck?
[07:39] <n2diy> zoidberg_: Make sure all your repos are enabled.
[07:39] <Frogzoo> administrator: it's a check of the file system that run before / is mounted rw
[07:39] <crimsun> zoidberg_: because 'gpg' is not an operation.  Do you mean to 'install gnupg' ?
[07:39] <administrator> installed kubuntu have many problems...I have no idea I just popped CD in and installed never had any idea run into so many problems
[07:40] <n2diy> administrator: usability is a Winders thing, it means anybody can use your box.
[07:40] <jetscreamer> apt-get install
[07:40] <jetscreamer> --reinstall
[07:40] <administrator> lol can you explain the windows joke winders?
[07:41] <jetscreamer> country slang
[07:41] <administrator> So how do I enable myself to read and write from this second HDD I have thats locked into read only mode?
[07:41] <zoidberg_> n2diy, i have everything uncommented in the sources.list except for the alst two security lines...and if i say apt-get gpg...it says invalid operation
[07:41] <jetscreamer> apt-get install
[07:41] <n2diy> administrator: yes, on a Dvorak keyboard it is easier to type winders, than it is windows.
[07:41] <jetscreamer> --reinstall
[07:42] <n2diy> zoidberg_: can you play in synaptic, it is easier then manually editing your source file?
[07:43] <Frogzoo> administrator: is this a fresh install?
[07:43] <administrator> i uninstall some stuf like abi word and uneeded things
[07:43] <administrator> OK ran into new problem, trash just opened up  50 windows how I close them all?
[07:43] <kudo> hekp me
[07:43] <kudo> help me
[07:43] <Frogzoo> administrator: but otherwise, there's no data of yours on the box?
[07:43] <administrator> their not closing
[07:44] <administrator> On second HDD there is windows (winders) stuff like recycle bin folder etc.
[07:44] <Frogzoo> administrator: of course they're not - it can't write to the disk - one problem at a time

[07:46] <n2diy> Frogzoo: administrator, ever try and catch two cats at the same time? It can't be done, you have to catch one at a time.
[07:46] <Frogzoo> lol
[07:46] <administrator> OK then I'll ignore my trash problem
[07:46] <shadeofgrey> i cant believe how impossible it is to get ubuntu running on the coreduo macbookpros
[07:46] <administrator> Frogzoo, This problem is only on my second HDD
[07:47] <shadeofgrey> i hope ati goes bankrupt for their lack of good linux support
[07:47] <shadeofgrey> they deserve to
[07:47] <administrator> I don't need to write to the first HDD
[07:47] <bruenig> shadeofgrey, right, and their lack of beos support too
[07:47] <administrator> They won't if you keep buying thier product
[07:47] <shadeofgrey> oh dont worry
[07:47] <Frogzoo> administrator: well where your / is, it's not fscking or would mount rw
[07:47] <deltaphc> when having an application autostart on login, is it possible to always have it start on a certain workspace?
[07:47] <bruenig> or maybe their lack of minix support
[07:47] <shadeofgrey> im tossing this machine as soon as i get the nmoney for a new mbp
[07:47] <bruenig> big hitters
[07:47] <zoidberg_> can someone please help me upgrade from dapper to edgy?
[07:48] <bruenig> !upgrade | zoidberg_
[07:48] <ubotu> zoidberg_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:48] <Hor|zon> deltaphc, google devilspie
[07:48] <Frogzoo> zoidberg_: or just forget it & install feisty
[07:48] <administrator> Frogzoo what do you mean / ? All I want to do is be able to delete one file on my second HDD :( when I right lick it says owner is root
[07:48] <kudo> who is can help me install .tar.gz
[07:48] <bruenig> administrator, delete it from terminal with sudo
[07:48] <zoidberg_> Frogzoo, i would install feisty but i dont have any burnable cds
[07:48] <bruenig> !compiling | kudo
[07:48] <ubotu> kudo: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[07:48] <administrator> terminal isn't working on this computer
[07:49] <deltaphc> thanks Hor|zon
[07:49] <administrator> it restarts my computer
[07:49] <Frogzoo> administrator: while / is ro, nothing will work
[07:49] <administrator> whenver I try tro launch it
[07:49] <bruenig> administrator, launch gnome-terminal from the run dialog
[07:49] <shadeofgrey> zoidberg_, just download the proper packages file for edgy synaptic packages and then run sudo -- ah crap whats that command
[07:49] <administrator> Whats / ?
[07:49] <bruenig> alt + f2
[07:49] <administrator> alt f23?
[07:49] <administrator> k
[07:49] <shadeofgrey> its distro-update at the end
[07:50] <administrator> The command "gnome-terminal" failed to run: failed to execute child process "gnome-terminal" (no such file or directory)
[07:50] <bruenig> administrator, run xterm
[07:50] <administrator> ok
[07:50] <administrator> imin
[07:51] <bruenig> administrator, I would try to get that fixed by the way, perhaps uninstalling and installing it gnome-terminal
[07:51] <bruenig> or if you know what you are doing actually trying to see what the problem is
[07:51] <administrator> maybe thats my whole problem....should I use synaptic
[07:51] <administrator> I have no idea what I'm doing thats why I'm here ;) you guys are great
[07:51] <bruenig> administrator, that is not your whole problem
[07:52] <bruenig> it really means nothing, if you can get xterm going, it is just some flaw with that particular application
[07:52] <administrator> so why I need gnome-terminal
[07:52] <Frogzoo> administrator: until you fix your / file system so it's mounted rw, everything else is wasted time
[07:52] <administrator> why can't there just be one .... simple .... terminal
[07:52] <bruenig> you don't need it I suppose if you are fine with xterm
[07:52] <bruenig> choice and such
[07:52] <nomas> hi, how can i search ircds ?
[07:52] <administrator> I am except that the "Terminal" link under applications doesn't work
[07:53] <administrator> OK so how I fix my / file system
[07:53] <bruenig> administrator, run xterm from the alt + f2
[07:53] <nomas> hi, how can i search ircds on the Terminal?
[07:53] <administrator> I am
[07:53] <bruenig> administrator, ok so go to your file and remove it
[07:53] <Frogzoo> administrator: boot off the live cd - run fsck on the root file system - reboot & unless there's something else wrong, you should be good <-- go away now & do this
[07:53] <bruenig> Frogzoo, what?
[07:53] <bruenig> did I miss something
[07:53] <administrator> I have two problems
[07:53] <administrator> 1
[07:54] <Frogzoo> bruenig: administrator's / is ro atm - so you can stop helping him
[07:54] <administrator> Terminal is crashing
[07:54] <administrator> 2 I can't write to HDD
[07:54] <Frogzoo> administrator: of course it is - I'm ignoring you now
[07:54] <administrator> so How I run fsck
[07:54] <administrator> wait I will do it
[07:54] <bruenig> Frogzoo, ro doesn't matter
[07:54] <Frogzoo> bruenig: sure it doesn't
[07:54] <bruenig> unless I suppose it also means -x
[07:55] <bruenig> does it mean that
[07:55] <administrator> Frogzoo, how do I run fsck off live CD
[07:55] <Frogzoo> bruenig: it means most everything won't run
[07:55] <bruenig> Frogzoo, does ro mean literally 444
[07:55] <administrator> is that why my terminal is crashign?
[07:55] <bruenig> or does it just mean no write
[07:55] <Frogzoo> administrator: fsck /dev/###   where ### = your root file system
[07:55] <b0nks> wheres the tutorial for ubuntu server edition w/LAMP?
[07:56] <Frogzoo> bruenig: means literally
[07:56] <bruenig> administrator, can you do cd /usr
[07:56] <bruenig> ?
[07:56] <noiesmo> !lamp | b0nks
[07:56] <ubotu> b0nks: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[07:56] <varka> b0nks: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/index.html
[07:56] <Frogzoo> bruenig: you're not helping dude
[07:56] <administrator> bruenig in xterm?
[07:56] <bruenig> administrator, yes
[07:56] <administrator> yes
[07:57] <bruenig> then Frogzoo's understanding of ro is incorrect
[07:57] <bruenig> because if a directory isn't executable you can't cd into it
[07:57] <administrator> O.o
[07:57] <administrator> Whats ro?
[07:57] <Kprofthreat> Can anyone help me mount an IDE drive? It doesn't detect it in fstab. I really need to get on it though because it has all my important files.
[07:57] <bruenig> read only
[07:57] <bruenig> Kprofthreat, sudo fdisk -l, does that give you anything
[07:58] <administrator> So how can I delete these two files on my second HDD do I really ahve to restart into live CD?
[07:58] <bruenig> administrator, is your second hdd mounted?
[07:58] <administrator> yes I right clicked it and mounted it I still can't right click files and delete them its grayed out
[07:58] <Kprofthreat> It just finds the partitions on my sata
[07:58] <bruenig> administrator, ok do you know where it is mounted? /media probably
[07:58] <Jordan_U> administrator, NTFS?
[07:59] <administrator> yes in the File manger
[07:59] <bruenig> Kprofthreat, is this an external drive?
[07:59] <administrator> YES NTFS
[07:59] <Jordan_U> !ntfs | administrator
[07:59] <ubotu> administrator: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:59] <administrator> its left over from windows
[07:59] <Kprofthreat> bruenig: No, it's an entirely separate drive. IDE, on its own cable. As master
[07:59] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | administrator
[07:59] <ubotu> administrator: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[07:59] <bruenig> hmmm
[07:59] <administrator> OK
[07:59] <administrator> I have a qeustion then...should I convert the drive to a linux native format
[07:59] <administrator> Because I want to share files off this drive
[08:00] <administrator> to windows boxes
[08:00] <Jordan_U> administrator, It is installed by default on the liveCD but not on the installed system, don't know why though
[08:00] <bruenig> waste for those who don't need it I guess
[08:00] <administrator> No, on the live CD I had same problem I couldn't delte stuff
[08:00] <|thunder> hey all, do I need anything special to enable DGA mouse handling ?
[08:00] <b0nks> thanks
[08:01] <Kprofthreat> |thunder: See XFree86 3.3.3
[08:01] <|thunder> thanks
[08:02] <administrator> OK on that site it says I can write to NTFS already but I can't
[08:03] <|thunder> administrator; try mount -a
[08:03] <bruenig> administrator, do grep ntfs /etc/fstab and paste the output
[08:03] <administrator> only root can do that
[08:04] <administrator> bruenig, there is no output
[08:04] <bruenig> administrator, did you mount this drive yourself?
[08:04] <administrator> I just right clicked documents and mounted
[08:04] <administrator> on desktop
[08:04] <homerhomer> to nixers
[08:04] <homerhomer> yo nixers
[08:04] <bruenig> administrator, do grep ntfs /etc/mtab
[08:05] <bruenig> !hi | homerhomer
[08:05] <ubotu> homerhomer: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:05] <administrator> how I copy stuff from xterm
[08:06] <bruenig> administrator, highlight
[08:06] <administrator> i did
[08:06] <administrator> then what
[08:06] <n2diy> administrator: highlight it, and select edit > copy.
[08:06] <bruenig> administrator, highlight it and then middle click in here
[08:06] <roho> does anyone know how i can play divx movies that load in the browser? i think i have all the codecs installed.
[08:06] <administrator> There is no edit
[08:06] <administrator> 1 /media/Documents ntfs rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8 0 0
[08:07] <bruenig> hmm, that is a weird line, the umask sets it up as read and execute only
[08:08] <bruenig> but rw would seemingly contradict that
[08:08] <administrator> can we get Linus Torvalds in here?
[08:08] <administrator> Is he here now?
[08:09] <roho> it's the business day in finland now
[08:09] <bruenig> this is an issue with whatever it is that actually mounted this for you like this
[08:09] <roho> he's at work
[08:09] <bruenig> gnome?
[08:09] <administrator> kubuntu
[08:09] <mcintrya> hey i was looking to get some help with installing ubuntu using a usb drive rather than the common cd installation. could anybody give me a hand?
[08:10] <Ambientmstr> administrator: Kubuntu's interface is KDE
[08:10] <wols_> !ask | mcintrya
[08:10] <administrator> what the hell is gnome? I have kubuntu
[08:10] <ubotu> mcintrya: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:10] <Ambientmstr> !gnome | administrator
[08:10] <Jordan_U> !install | mcintrya
[08:10] <ubotu> administrator: gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[08:10] <ubotu> mcintrya: 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
[08:10] <mcintrya> well idk where to begin
[08:10] <chalcedony> My son is leaving for 2 weeks, i NEED my laptop to work before he goes. this is what he tells me is wrong with it:<Son> The r818x driver shipped in Ubuntu Feisty is stripping off the last character of the essid when the essid is set, a basic 'off by one' error, somewhere.
[08:10] <wols_> mcintrya: ubotu told you
[08:10] <mcintrya> i tried extracting the iso onto my device and booting into it
[08:10] <mcintrya> k
[08:11] <mcintrya> thanks
[08:11] <Jordan_U> mcintrya, np
[08:12] <administrator> breuning, so how do I get to delete my stuff on documents?
[08:12] <Ambientmstr> chalcedony: Is Ndiswrapper installed?
[08:12] <|thunder> Ambientmstr; im on feisty, i dont see anythig like xfree86 in the repos, all are open here too.
[08:12] <|thunder> uncommented i mean
[08:13] <Flannel> chalcedony: Try adding a dummy character to the end?
[08:13] <roho> is there a divx plugin for konqueror or firefox?
[08:13] <wols_> |thunder: there is no xfree86 anymore in almost any major distro
[08:13] <Ambientmstr> It's in the debian repositories
[08:13] <crimsun> chalcedony: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8087830/r818x-essid.patch
[08:13] <Ambientmstr> http://www.xfree86.org/
[08:13] <wols_> debian has no xfree86 anymor either
[08:13] <crimsun> chalcedony: there are quite a few duplicates.  That patch is linked to bug #74672
[08:13] <bruenig> administrator, you need to get the drive mounted with write privileges, I have never dealt with ntfs on linux as I just formatted windows when I came over a few years back so I am not sure exactly what the state of that is in ubuntu. If you need to use ntfs-3g I think I recall that there was an expiremental kernel thing that would do it but I don't know if that is compiled into ubuntu's kernel, so anyways, probably someone else
[08:13] <bruenig>  should be asked
[08:14] <|thunder> wols_; i asked about my mouse not working in Q3A in linux
[08:14] <administrator> so im trying to run a server what do you suggset I do so I can write to that damn drive but still be able to serve files to windows computerS?
[08:15] <wols_> administrator: format it ext3
[08:15] <pyrak> administrator, serving over a network doesnt seem to present any issues with hard drive formats
[08:15] <administrator> so a windows user can read the stuff of ext3 drive?
[08:15] <administrator> that seems unbelievable
[08:15] <wols_> if you share it via samba: yes
[08:15] <administrator> But OK...how I format
[08:15] <wols_> administrator: no it's not
[08:15] <administrator> AH thats what i'm looking for
[08:15] <wols_> besides: windows can even use ext3 drives
[08:16] <administrator> OK lets do this, how I format this second ntfs HDD?
[08:16] <pyrak> administrator, well all i know is that i could write to ntfs over a network before i installed ntfs3g to write to my internal ntfs partition
[08:16] <wols_> man mkfs
[08:17] <administrator> pyrak ah but you couldn't write to NTFS in linux right?
[08:17] <intelikey> i just installed dapper on a tosheba satelite laptop   the "network settings" autodetect modem doesn't see any modem can anyone help me get it online ?           (obviously i'm not talking to you on the laptop)
[08:17] <chalcedony> crimsun: Flannel and Ambientmstr ty very much, he will try those when he wakes up. i'm very grateful to you :)
[08:17] <administrator> So how I format NTFS to ext3...Im setting up a server with Samba so it doesn't matter I gues
[08:17] <LoneShadow> !nvidia
[08:17] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:17] <wols_> administrator: man mkfs
[08:18] <Ambientmstr> Hi, I have a kinda urgent problem. All my critical files are backed up onto a NTFS-formatted IDE drive. Fstab apparently has no entry for it, and it is not automounting. It is set on its own primary cable on cable select, but I don't think it makes a difference. Thing is, I can't see it in Windows either. I'm using Kubuntu Feisty, and here is a pastebin: http://www.pastebin.ca/589798.
[08:18] <intelikey> anyone ?
[08:18] <TaJMoX> adnimistrator - if you're networking with samba it doesnt matter
[08:18] <administrator> yes I know thats why im going to format, wols how iI man mkfs?
[08:18] <administrator> I have to use this little xterm shoit right?
[08:19] <administrator> Since my terminal isn't working god knows why
[08:19] <pyrak> administrator, not on an internal drive until i installed ntfs-3g, which was cake.  also, i think that maybe perhaps possibly ntfs-3g is build into the ubuntu installation now.
[08:19] <TaJMoX> gnome-terminal isn't working ?

[08:28] <kermitus> to list your drives or u need to format a drive?
[08:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about parted - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:28] <preaction> !gparted
[08:29] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[08:29] <wols_> administrator: man mkfs
[08:29] <administrator> isn't there just some simple command?
[08:29] <msl> administrator: mke2fs -j /dev/hda#
[08:29] <administrator> thanks
[08:29] <wols_> PeaceYo: why does he need to delete the partition?
[08:29] <kermitus> isnt that GNOME partition editor? or is Gparted differant?
[08:29] <administrator> its second HDD so its probably hdab right?
[08:29] <preaction> administrator: why are you asking us to do these things for you? you should be learning how to do them yourself?
[08:29] <wols_> msl: we have a mkfs.ext3 nowadays
[08:29] <administrator> Isn't that how I learn?
[08:29] <varun0> Flannel: sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just want to make sure I'm clear - is prevu a way to install packages from versions of ubuntu *other* than what you are currently running?
[08:29] <preaction> administrator: second hd on the first ide cable?
[08:29] <msl> administrator: probably hdb# or sdb#
[08:30] <kermitus> yeah good book to get is the Ubuntu Bible, its great, and pretty cheap
[08:30] <wols_> administrator: no. you learn by reading documentation and trying things out
[08:30] <preaction> administrator: parroting commands is not how you're going to learn, and gparted is far easier to use than the terminal
[08:30] <wols_> asking us is like dowing the learning for you
[08:30] <xpoint> msl, remember to edit the file system type in fdisk on that partion, what you do is just format is as ex2 with journal, the fdisk file type is still ntfs :-)
[08:30] <administrator> Eh all I've been trying to do is follow this damn guide to setup a simple headless server in kubuntu and run into all sorts of shit
[08:30] <msl> xpoint: that is true
[08:30] <wols_> xpoint: linux won't care
[08:30] <Flannel> varun0: correct.  It downloads source debs, compiles them for your current system, so you can install them locally.  You'll need to also backport whatever dependencies you need as well (that page has all the details)
[08:30] <febri-ns> m,,zmzmc
[08:30] <febri-ns> cacaccc
[08:31] <administrator> mke2fs -j /dev/hdab  IT is
[08:31] <preaction> febri-ns: cat-like typing detected
[08:31] <administrator> thats ext3 right?
[08:31] <wols_> administrator: how about man mkefs and find out?
[08:31] <preaction> administrator: that's wrong, where is your hard drive located? slave drive on first IDE cable?
[08:31] <administrator> yes
[08:31] <pixelation> 32 bit will be faster than 64 bit xubuntu generally right?
[08:32] <preaction> administrator: that'd be /dev/hdb then, but in order to make a filesystem you need to specify a partition, not a drive
[08:32] <varun0> Flannel: I'm not sure what "backporting" means..... :-S
[08:32] <preaction> varun0: it means taking a fix from a newer version and putting it in your version (in this case, an entire program)
[08:32] <pixelation> I mean, I am not going to be doing any physics emulations, or anything of the sort. Sure I might download something in firefox while listening to music and talking on GAIM. But nothing that big.
[08:32] <xpoint> administrator, big warning on mkfs, you will loose all content, so make sure you do it rigth the first time
[08:32] <gaten> mi having trouble burning cds (or dvds). using the "write to disk" option for isos, nautalis tells me that i don't have a cd w/ sufficient space. but the cd is completely blank and the iso is only 57MB
[08:32] <preaction> pixelation: do you have a 64-bit processor?
[08:32] <administrator> preaction its all one partition
[08:32] <pixelation> preaction: yes
[08:32] <Flannel> varun0: it's when you port a piece of software backwards (to a previous version).  So, taking a gutsy version and making it work for feisty.
[08:32] <preaction> administrator: again, /dev/hdb is a disk, not a partition
[08:33] <varun0> preaction, Flannel : much thanks
[08:33] <administrator> Yes I know I have nothing on the drive
[08:33] <preaction> administrator: you have no partitions on the drive? then you can't make a filesystem
[08:33] <xpoint> administrator, do not just mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1 when the drive is /dev/hdb2
[08:33] <administrator> OK letme clarify I have a NTFS drive here where I can see the contents but not delete them or anything
[08:33] <vletmix> I got wow working on my 7.04 system using wine and everything runs great until I attempt to quit the game; it just freezes up and I have to kill the process. Anyone know why?
[08:33] <preaction> pixelation: then one day, when people start using 64-bit registers, the 64-bit version will be faster
[08:33] <xpoint> administrator, mkfs.ext3 dont ask if you realy want it !
[08:34] <administrator> I'm going to be running samba so ext3 won't matter
[08:34] <pyrak> !ntfs-3g | administrator
[08:34] <ubotu> administrator: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[08:34] <kermitus> nice and busy in there tonight. this is great
[08:34] <administrator> I don't need ntfs-3g if i'm runnig Samba right?
[08:34] <administrator> I want native linux format
[08:34] <pixelation> preaction: should I just use 32 bit for now, or should I stick with what I have (64 bit)?
[08:35] <preaction> pixelation: there's really no difference either way, except in some very rare cases where the 64-bit version is kinda fuzzy
[08:35] <pixelation> preaction: okay thank  you, and goodbye
[08:35] <xpoint> administrator, use nfs then :-)
[08:35] <pixelation> LOL i luv linux.
[08:35] <pixelation> linux loves me back sometimes too.
[08:35] <administrator> nfs?
[08:35] <pixelation> But sometimes linux beats me like a redneck on wife.
[08:35] <preaction> administrator: network file system. for file systems over a network where no windows machines need to view the files
[08:35] <mike> Greets, everyone...
[08:35] <administrator> make 2fs Permission denied
[08:35] <pixelation> I cry and say I love it, but it doesn't listen.
[08:36] <administrator> when trying to determine filesystem
[08:36] <pixelation> And it beats me more.
[08:36] <pixelation> It keeps going...
[08:36] <mike> lol
[08:36] <pixelation> But there are some really grand times.
[08:36] <timfrost> xpoint, administrator is wanting to create the local file system to be advertised.
[08:36] <pixelation> I broke up with my last OS because he got me in all sorts of legal trouble.
[08:36] <pixelation> XP pirate.
[08:36] <hylje> yarrr
[08:36] <timfrost> administrator, try 'sudo mke2fs /dev/sdb1'
[08:36] <xpoint> nfs is possible with windows, its just not default, reason i say nfs is that samba might be to unsecure
[08:37] <administrator> all I really want is a simple home server security isn't really a problem
[08:37] <administrator> thanks timfrost
[08:37] <pixelation> So XP got a restraining order on me, and I started to use linux. Oooh Xubuntu.
[08:37] <zoidberg_> guys i'm getting a GPG error when i run sudo apt-get update...this is on dapper...any help?
[08:37] <pixelation> Goodnight, I am off to have sex with Xubuntu.
[08:37] <NickRivers> speaking of NFS... I tried to set up networking for my home PCs with NFS and couldn't figure it out :(  using samba atm
[08:37] <pixelation> Xubuntu wears magnums.
[08:37] <xpoint> administrator, ftp could be all then
[08:37] <administrator> timefrost, "the device does not exist"
[08:38] <msl> administrator: don't forget the   -j   since that is the difference between ext2 and ext3
[08:38] <timfrost> administrator, try /dev/hdb1 rather than /dev/sdb1
[08:38] <NickRivers> just got my new dell linux box today :))))
[08:38] <administrator> why ext2 still supported?
[08:38] <vletmix> Anyone know of a remote desktop client which supports RDPv6?
[08:38] <NickRivers> ext2 is used for boot partitions i think?
[08:38] <xpoint> msl, mksf -j /dev/md12 or mkfs.ext3 /dev/md12 will be the same
[08:39] <andax11> administrator: if you want a simple homeserver, you possibly like YaCy.
[08:39] <msl> administrator: it depends on if you want a journaled filesystem or not.  ext2 is fine, I just thought you were wanting ext3 :)
[08:39] <mike> Can someone help me get a Zeroconf network running? Whenever I click Network Services in Konqueror, it says mdnsd isn't running.
[08:39] <NickRivers> brb
[08:39] <administrator> ext3 latest and greatest right? whats journaled
[08:39] <administrator> @ andax11 YaCY is OS?
[08:40] <msl> administrator: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journaling_file_system
[08:41] <andax11> administrator: No, YaCy is a sort of web environment you can install on a linux box. It contains a distributed webcrawler engine, blog, wiki... and it's all on your OWN machine ;)
[08:41] <xpoint> !google ext3
[08:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about google ext3 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:41] <administrator> @ timfrost it now can't determine size
[08:41] <administrator> @ I had to unmount the volume
[08:41] <xpoint> hehe :)
[08:41] <administrator> @ andax11 sounds sexy
[08:41] <andax11> administrator: It requires java
[08:41] <administrator> @ andax11 cept all I need is filesharing and torrent downloads
[08:42] <administrator> java is bad
[08:42] <administrator> sudo mke2fs /dev/sdb1 doesn't work
[08:42] <andax11> administrator: java still wastes a lot of system resources on linux but it works
[08:42] <xpoint> administrator, well torrent is nice, but how about gtk-gnutella :-)
[08:42] <NickRivers> what's the verdict on java 6?
[08:43] <administrator> hey windows works but wastes alot of system resources : )
[08:43] <administrator> gtk-gnutella whats thaty
[08:43] <andax11> administrator: there are some alternatives to sun's java btw
[08:43] <administrator> !gtk-gnutella
[08:43] <xpoint> administrator, windows vista is nice to, but dont try beryl on linux then :-)
[08:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gtk-gnutella - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:44] <administrator> lol
[08:44] <NickRivers> after upgrading to vista (tux forgive me) I quickly realized what a bloated POS it was :(  buggy as heck too... major resource hog - even more than the norm for windows
[08:44] <xpoint> administrator, apt-cache show gtk-gnutella
[08:44] <administrator> ugh ok getting too OT
[08:45] <administrator> how I format NTFS drive to ext3
[08:45] <NickRivers> Vista: DRM crapware... but it looks good, dahhhhhling LOL
[08:45] <administrator> sudo mke2fs /dev/sdb1 doesn't work
[08:45] <xpoint> administrator, fdisk /dev/<drive> < first step
[08:46] <timfrost> administrator, change the filesystem type to 83, using 'sudo fdisk /dev/hdb' or equivalent , then run 'sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1'
[08:46] <xpoint> administrator, want to kill the cat ? :-)
[08:46] <administrator> no
[08:46] <NeXtDaY> I downloaded a filter for gimp, in which folder should i put it? any help, please?
[08:46] <administrator> I learned my lesson earlire
[08:46] <administrator> after fdisk /dev/hdb1 it says no such file or dierectory
[08:46] <xpoint> administrator, do check with device it is
[08:47] <xpoint> administrator, dmesg | grep hd
[08:47] <msl> administrator: dmesg | grep [hs] db1

[08:48] <xpoint> msl, this disk can be multipartionen

[08:49] <xpoint> administrator, good

[09:00] <administrator> timfrost actually
[09:01] <maltron> hi - can anyone here help me out with the "time" command?  It won't take options nor will it allow me to redirect output
[09:01] <administrator> timfrost it says "Command (m for help)
[09:01] <QwertyM> bobdraken: You can try downloading the source and compiling it there
[09:02] <timfrost> administrator, at that prompt, type 't'.  It will prompt for the partition # (1) and then the new type (83)
[09:02] <QwertyM> bobdraken: funnily, it has an empty readme
[09:02] <bobdraken> sorry im a linux newb.. how do i do that
[09:02] <wols_> daedalus__: don't take a poll, ask a real question
[09:02] <QwertyM> bobdraken: you can try extracting the source and run make in its folder, and then make install
[09:02] <brmassa> Anyone knows why i keep gettin "Operation not supported" when i run "sudo modprobe kvm-amd" ?
[09:02] <bobdraken> ok well i have the source d/led now what do i do with it
[09:02] <administrator> timfrost Changed system type of partition 1 to 83 (Linux)
[09:03] <QwertyM> bobdraken: am on GNOME, can't do it here .. wait for some KDE person, it depends on KDE libraries :(
[09:03] <wols_> bobdraken: you unpack and find out how to compile it
[09:03] <brmassa> Im trying to install KVM
[09:03] <administrator> timfrost now what
[09:03] <timfrost> administrator, now do 'w' to write the changes, then 'q' to quit.

[09:03] <varka> mojo: sudo killall gnome-panel
[09:03] <nomas> where can i donwload ddos attack ?
[09:03] <QwertyM> bobdraken: okay, extract the contents to a folder firs
[09:04] <administrator> timfrost DOS Compatibility flag is not set
[09:04] <wols_> nomas: nowhere. we don't support little kids with a napoleon complex
[09:04] <QwertyM> first*
[09:04] <timfrost> administrator, after that, you should be able to format the partition with 'sudo mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1'
[09:04] <QwertyM> and enter the folder from your terminal bobdraken
[09:04] <bobdraken> ok one second
[09:04] <administrator> @ timfrost WORKS YES
[09:04] <nomas> ok , sorry but i wrote on wrong window
[09:05] <timfrost> administrator, the DOS Compatibility flag is not a problem here
[09:05] <gordonjcp> nomas: you can't actually do a DDoS attack from Mexico anyway
[09:05] <QwertyM> wols_: heh
[09:05] <wols_> nomas: you are still a script kiddie and should be executed
[09:05] <bobdraken> ok its extracted to the folder

[09:05] <QwertyM> bobdraken: type --->./configure --prefix="/usr"
[09:05] <gordonjcp> wols_: yeah, and to control a botnet you need some outgoing bandwidth
[09:06] <mojo> varka: thanks
[09:06] <bobdraken> so in term i type what now
[09:06] <administrator> @ timfrost "unable to mount volume"
[09:06] <QwertyM> bobdraken: ./configure --prefix="/usr"
[09:06] <QwertyM> type that exactly, or paste it in
[09:06] <nomas> gordonjcp: do you know the command to search ircd on the terminal ?
[09:07] <timfrost> administrator, does the mount point exist?
[09:07] <wols_> gordonjcp: yes. you need a connection to e.g. an irc channel. that's all. and even 56 will do that just plenty
[09:07] <gordonjcp> nomas: "search ircd"?
[09:07] <QwertyM> bobdraken: there's a file called INSTALL in it right? Open it to see instructions :-)
[09:07] <nomas> something about, sudo cache ircd ?
[09:07] <bobdraken> so put this in it...      ./configure--prefix="/usr"
[09:07] <QwertyM> bobdraken: yes
[09:07] <wols_> gordonjcp: see?
[09:07] <gordonjcp> nomas: apt-cache search ircd possibly?
[09:07] <wols_> gordonjcp: do NOT help him
[09:07] <administrator> @ timfrost faield to determine the moutn point for /dev/hdb1
[09:07] <gordonjcp> nomas: running an ircd is trickier than you think, and leaves your server open to all manner of attacks
[09:08] <bobdraken> yes there is a file called install
[09:08] <wols_> gordonjcp: what's better than an 0wn3d script kiddie?
[09:08] <bobdraken> i click it and it ask what app i want to open the  installer with
[09:08] <bobdraken> what should i pick
[09:08] <QwertyM> bobdraken: any text editor
[09:08] <wols_> bobdraken: there is no installer
[09:08] <timfrost> administrator, create the directory that you want to mount /dev/hdb1 on, then add an entry to /etc/fstab.  That last error is because there is no entry in /etc/fstab
[09:09] <administrator> How do I do that?
[09:09] <QwertyM> yup, its just an instruction doc, not an installer as such
[09:09] <bobdraken> To install KCometen3 do:1. ./configure --prefix="/usr"2. make3. sudo make install
[09:09] <bobdraken> it says this.. so i just type that in my term
[09:09] <nomas> exactly thats the command
[09:09] <wols_> bobdraken: read up on checkinstall first
[09:09] <nomas> but now , which is to download ? :(
[09:10] <bobdraken> what do you mean wols
[09:10] <bobdraken> checkinstall ?
[09:10] <gordonjcp> nomas: none, ideally
[09:10] <wols_> !checkinstall
[09:10] <ubotu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[09:10] <gordonjcp> nomas: I'd make sure your PC is secure before you even start
[09:10] <bobdraken> im lost
[09:10] <administrator> @ timfrost How do I do that?
[09:11] <netdaemon> ah, do i need gstreamer-lame to rip mp3s? or just gstreamer-plugins-ugly-multiverse?
[09:11] <bobdraken> checkinstall... do i have to do that
[09:11] <boblobla1> Hi. Ubuntu 7.04, Nvidia Ti4200 (128MB) -- getting sluggish performance. Been reading the forum for 2hrs.
[09:11] <QwertyM> um, it helps uninstall and modify later ..
[09:11] <bobdraken> so how do i use teh checkinstall
[09:12] <wols_> bobdraken: you read docs about it
[09:12] <boblobla1> OH, BTW - on my Ti4200 tried new AND legacy drivers, no change - performance still slow
[09:12] <wols_> bobdraken: sluggish where and when? how much RAM?
[09:12] <QwertyM> that'd be boblobla1
[09:12] <boblobla1> wols_: all the time ~512 mb ram.
[09:12] <bobdraken> i have a question wols.. how do you pick the persons name like that in front.. are you typing it evertime
[09:12] <boblobla1> many people are having this problem
[09:13] <wols_> boblobla1: bo<tab>
[09:13] <QwertyM> bobdraken: I type bobd and hit tab, XCHAT autocompletes it
[09:13] <wols_> called tab complete. doesn't always work as you can see :)
[09:13] <bobdraken> how about
[09:13] <bobdraken> kopete
[09:13] <administrator> use pidgin
[09:13] <QwertyM> bobdraken: Dunno, try it
[09:13] <bobdraken> what do i type
[09:13] <boblobla1> I'm getting crazy slow screen lag. The rest of the system is fine, just the video card is giving me a problem.
[09:13] <QwertyM> Qwe<tab> ?
[09:13] <timfrost> administrator, if you want to mount on /share, then 'sudo mkdir /share;sudo chmod 777 /share' will create the mount point.  Then 'echo "/dev/hdb1 /share ext3 defaults 0 2" >> /etc/fstab' will add an entry to /etc/fstab
[09:13] <wols_> bobdraken: try it. it's a client feature. and for irc you should use irssi. and x-chat if you really insist on gui I guess. NOT an IM client
[09:14] <QwertyM> Pidgin does it too, in conferences and all :)
[09:14] <QwertyM> oh right, sorry I misinterpret
[09:14] <wols_> bluefox83: paste the output of glxinfo into a pastebin. also grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:14] <brad016> in firefox in Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Encryption is that like a proxy that hides personal information that can be tracked
[09:14] <bobdraken> QwertyM: yay
[09:14] <bobdraken> it does do it
[09:14] <wols_> doh
[09:14] <brad016> I mean like if you have the protocals checked
[09:14] <wols_> boblobla1: see what I just wrote
[09:14] <QwertyM> :) but Konversation is what you should use instead
[09:14] <boblobla1> got it
[09:15] <bobdraken> i like pidgin..im just now trying kopete
[09:15] <administrator> @ timfrost second command
[09:15] <bobdraken> its pretty good i think
[09:15] <administrator> @ timfrost second command 'echo "/dev/hdb1 /share ext3 defaults 0 2" >> /etc/fstab' I get permission denied
[09:15] <QwertyM> bobdraken: so what does the first command give as an output? Paste it at PasteBin
[09:15] <QwertyM> !pastebin | bobdraken
[09:15] <ubotu> bobdraken: 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)
[09:16] <bobdraken> QwertyM: i did tell you i wasnt able to run/install ubuntu
[09:16] <bobdraken> QwertyM: im in pclos right now
[09:16] <administrator> @ timfrost and still getting  cannot moutn volume" and "unable to mount documents"
[09:16] <QwertyM> bobdraken: its okay, what we're trying to do is not related to Ubuntu :) Just installing an application, compiling it rather
[09:16] <bobdraken> QwertyM: my other pc is ubuntu but for some reason it wont install on this pc :  (
[09:17] <bobdraken> QwertyM: ok thanks... so im just gona type the /config prefix thing and not do the other thing
[09:17] <bobdraken> what was it called..
[09:17] <boblobla1> (glxinfo) http://pastebin.com/936561 (xorg.conf) http://pastebin.com/936562
[09:17] <brad016> In FireFox in Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Encryption and the two protocol boxes are checked, is that like having a proxy?
[09:17] <administrator> no
[09:17] <wols_> boblobla1: do not use pastebin.com. takes ages to load
[09:17] <brad016> then what is that for?
[09:17] <timfrost> administrator, /etc/fstab needs to be updated as root. Try 'sudo gedit /etc/fstab', and add '/dev/hdb1 /share ext3 defaults 0 2' in the gedit GUI on a new line.
[09:18] <administrator> @ bradits for secure servers (https)
[09:18] <boblobla1> wols_: sorry, you said to use pastebin.
[09:18] <QwertyM> bobdraken: ./configure --prefix="/usr" ?
[09:18] <boblobla1> next time ill use the other one
[09:18] <QwertyM> o/p at pastebin ..
[09:18] <brad016> okay, now is transparent proxy mean that it doesn't slow down your connection at all?
[09:18] <wols_> !pastebin

[09:18] <wols_> yes I did
[09:18] <bobdraken> i got this, -bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[09:19] <wols_> boblobla1: and you can nothing do except disabling beryl or buy a faster videocard
[09:19] <brad016> holy macaroni
[09:19] <Aviel> hey all!
[09:19] <boblobla1> wols_: im not using beryl.
[09:19] <QwertyM> bobdraken: are you in the folder where you extracted the files, in the terminal ?
[09:19] <QwertyM> bobdraken: cd <foldername>
[09:19] <bobdraken> no how do i direct myself there
[09:19] <administrator> @ timfrost sudo: gedit: command not foun
[09:19] <QwertyM> normal, like DOS
[09:19] <bobdraken> ok thanks one sec
[09:19] <brad016> okay, now is transparent proxy mean that it doesn't slow down your connection at all?
[09:19] <wols_> boblobla1: check if any process uses constants 99% CPU or so
[09:19] <boblobla1> if i resize _any_ window the sluggishness is very apparent
[09:19] <boblobla1> wols_: negative
[09:19] <boblobla1> i got my cpu graph up
[09:19] <wols_> brad016: no, that doesn't mean it
[09:19] <administrator> @ brad016 if your using one
[09:20] <boblobla1> it's a stupid xorg.conf / nvidia issue
[09:20] <bobdraken> its not working
[09:20] <bobdraken> im typing cd desktop
[09:20] <Aviel> i need help
[09:20] <bobdraken> and cd screen saver
[09:20] <Aviel> how i can install Proftpd on ubuntu?
[09:20] <QwertyM> bobdraken: remove the space from the folder name ..
[09:20] <brad016> bobdraken, type cd Desktop with a capital D
[09:20] <anathematic> sudo apt-get install proftpd?
[09:20] <QwertyM> and that.
[09:20] <wols_> !proftpd | Aviel
[09:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about proftpd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:21] <wols_> !ftpd | Aviel
[09:21] <ubotu> Aviel: FTP servers: !ftpd, !proftpd, !pure-ftpd, !twoftpd, !vsftpd, !MuddleFTPd, !wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: !PureAdmin, !GProftpd (for !GNOME), !KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP

[09:21] <Aviel> !ftpd
[09:21] <Flannel> Aviel: proftpd is in universe
[09:21] <Flannel> DShepherd: linux-image-[version] -arch
[09:21] <wols_> DShepherd: the kernel package for the kernel you want to uninstall?
[09:21] <boblobla1> ubuntu is headed to a bad place.

[09:22] <bobdraken> not letting me in
[09:22] <DShepherd> wols_, i guess the image package is what I want,,, Flannel thanks
[09:22] <timfrost> administrator, if gedit (the gnome editor) isn't available, use your favourite editor (kate, vi, nano, ...)
[09:22] <QwertyM> bobdraken: what's the actual name of the folder ?
[09:22] <anathematic> anyway i've downloaded this .tar.gz and i've extracted the file to my desktop, i've navigated from my terminal to the file location, what are the set of commands i do next to form my .deb or whatever (make/.configure whatever~)

[09:23] <timfrost> administrator, I have been running linux for the last ten years.
[09:23] <bobdraken> konsole

[09:24] <bobdraken> yay it worked

[09:24] <QwertyM> !pastebin
[09:25] <QwertyM> i mean, the output
[09:25] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:25] <QwertyM> and give us the url

[09:27] <bobdraken> im posting now one second :  )
[09:28] <NeXtDaY> how do I install .rpm files using terminal ?
[09:28] <Flannel> NeXtDaY: you use alien to convert it to a deb
[09:28] <Flannel> !away > Maxpower57
[09:28] <bobdraken> http://pastebin.com/936565
[09:28] <bobdraken> QwertyM: http://pastebin.com/936565
[09:28] <QwertyM> checking it :)
[09:28] <bobdraken> Flannel: http://pastebin.com/936565
[09:28] <NeXtDaY> Flannel: how? sorry I am new to this.
[09:28] <bobdraken> thanks
[09:29] <timfrost> !rpm | NeXtDaY
[09:29] <ubotu> NeXtDaY: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[09:29] <bobdraken> looks liek it didnt work
[09:29] <Flannel> NeXtDaY: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[09:29] <NeXtDaY> timfrost Flannel thanks
[09:29] <Flannel> bobdraken: what are you trying to install?
[09:29] <bobdraken> this one sec
[09:29] <bobdraken> http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=30313&forumpage=2
[09:30] <bobdraken> its a screen saver
[09:30] <QwertyM> Flannel: He isn't on Ubuntu ..
[09:30] <Flannel> bobdraken: does the dapper deb not work?
[09:30] <bobdraken> what is dapper deb?
[09:30] <megasquid> is the file size in ls -l in bytes?
[09:30] <bobdraken> Flannel: im on pclos
[09:30] <bruenig> ls -lh
[09:31] <timfrost> bobdraken, you need to install a number of packages, including build-essential, plus the -devel packages for all the dependencies.
[09:31] <Flannel> bobdraken: On that page, you can download a deb file.  bobdraken, why are you in this channel?
[09:31] <bruenig> -dev not -devel
[09:31] <bobdraken> Flannel: my other pc is ubuntu, i couldnt get it to install on this pc
[09:31] <bobdraken> Flannel: and noone is in the pclos room and im usually in here
[09:31] <Flannel> bobdraken: #pclinuxos-support is for pclinuxOS support.
[09:31] <megasquid> bruenig, thanks is there anyway to determine how many files are in a directory?
[09:32] <timfrost> megasquid, the default is bytes.  If you use the '-h' option, it will convert to KB, MB,GB, etc
[09:32] <bobdraken> Flannel: understood... is there anything i need to do to undo anything that may of changed form that
[09:32] <bobdraken> the configure prefix
[09:33] <bruenig> megasquid, there is probably some sort of ls option to do it, I would just use a for loop though
[09:33] <Flannel> bobdraken: configure shouldn't change anything that won't be overwritten with the next configure
[09:33] <bobdraken> Flannel: so dont do anything else? im fine as is?
[09:33] <hiko_hitokiri> !help | hiko_hitokiri
[09:33] <bobdraken> Flannel: nothing was changed, created, or deleted?
[09:33] <megasquid> bruenig, or better yet, the file size of a directory, ls -lh doesn't seem to be accurate
[09:33] <megasquid> for directories
[09:33] <bruenig> NUM=0 ; for x in *; do let "NUM++; done ; echo $NUM
[09:34] <bruenig> missing a "
[09:34] <bobdraken> Flannel: still here?
[09:34] <Flannel> bobdraken: You might try installing the Ubuntu package.  It may work.  It's worth a try at any rate.
[09:34] <bruenig> megasquid, du -ha
[09:34] <nomas> which P2P its the best ???
[09:34] <Flannel> bobdraken: nothing on your system, just stuff in that directory.
[09:34] <bobdraken> Flannel: i love ubuntu, but it wont work on this pc for some reason, i get xserver errors
[09:35] <bobdraken> Flannel: i tried the alter cd.. tons of stuff nothing worked
[09:35] <bruenig> bobdraken, you just fix xorg.conf
[09:35] <NeXtDaY> is there is anyway I can put the tools window and the working window and other windows in gimp together,, they are all separated and it confuses me? please.. any one :)
[09:35] <bobdraken> brutopia: how????
[09:35] <bobdraken> i keep getting no screens found
[09:35] <bruenig> bobdraken, I don't know, I am not very pleased with the x configuration scripts of ubuntu, two other lesser distributions I have tried are better at it
[09:35] <Flannel> NeXtDaY: that's a design decision of GIMP.  I don't believe so.  Although GIMPshop might change that.
[09:35] <bobdraken> and something was with the bus  0:2:0 i think its becasue i have two graphics cards
[09:35] <Aviel> some 1 here?
[09:35] <Aviel> i install now ubuntu for server
[09:35] <bobdraken> yes
[09:35] <bobdraken> ur right
[09:36] <Aviel> so
[09:36] <Flannel> !enter | Aviel
[09:36] <ubotu> Aviel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:36] <Aviel> what to do on the start?
[09:36] <LoneShadow> !php5
[09:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about php5 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:36] <bobdraken> brutopia: ur very right.. other dirstos seem to boot up when ubuntu fails
[09:36] <NeXtDaY> Flannel aha, ok. thanks again
[09:36] <LoneShadow> !php
[09:36] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[09:36] <Flannel> Aviel: What?  Well, You... do server stuff with it.  What do you want to have a server for?
[09:36] <megasquid> bruenig, thanks
[09:36] <LoneShadow> anyone has experience with php5-mysql problems on ubuntu ?
[09:36] <Aviel> i install now ubuntu for server what i should to do on start? security? something??
[09:36] <LoneShadow> I think when I upgraded to fiesty, my php-mysql got broken
[09:37] <Flannel> Aviel: it's fairly secure by default.
[09:37] <Aviel> hey ppl in the install of the server its write me to chhose or DNS Server or LAMP server what select?
[09:37] <bobdraken> i have an onboard graphics card and second one .. i use the other one
[09:37] <Flannel> Aviel: What sort of server do you want?
[09:37] <bobdraken> and for some reason i think thats why it fails to install
[09:38] <bobdraken> something about the bus numbers for it 0:2:0 and
[09:38] <bobdraken> it says no screens found
[09:38] <Flannel> Aviel: either or none could be correct.  There is no "correct" server, only what you do or don't want the server to do.
[09:38] <Aviel> just for learn the system
[09:38] <Aviel> cuz i going to buy server for games
[09:38] <Aviel> so what select DNS OR LAMP?
[09:39] <Flannel> Aviel: neither.  A game server would be neither of those.
[09:39] <pluma> How do I truncate files via the command line? "truncate" gives me a "not found" =/
[09:40] <nomas> how can i install frostwire ?
[09:40] <Flannel> !frostwire | nomas
[09:40] <ubotu> nomas: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[09:41] <timfrost> pluma, try '>file'.  That should truncate 'file'  unless you are unable to write to the file (or the directory that the file is in)
[09:42] <anathematic> how do i convert a .rpm to a .deb? (just change the file extension?)
[09:42] <timfrost> !rpm | anathematic
[09:42] <ubotu> anathematic: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[09:42] <Flannel> anathematic: no.  Can you not find a deb version of the package?  which package?
[09:43] <Aviel> so guys
[09:43] <domas> anathematic: you can just use RPM to install ;-)
[09:43] <anathematic> Flannel, no i cannot it's for printer drivers :)
[09:43] <Flannel> anathematic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[09:43] <Aviel> what i should select on the install server, LAMP or DNS??
[09:43] <pluma> timfrost: How do I do that for a pattern (e.g. every file ending in "_file") then? >*_file?
[09:43] <domas> Aviel: nothing, if you don't need either
[09:43] <Flannel> Aviel: I've already told you.  Neither.
[09:43] <anathematic> Aviel, you've already asked this
[09:43] <domas> Aviel: or both, if you need both
[09:43] <Aviel> cant selectd both only 1
[09:43] <Aviel> what u recommend?
[09:44] <anathematic> if you're only using it to learn how to setup a server for games you don't need either
[09:44] <Flannel> Aviel: select zero.  None, nada.
[09:44] <domas> Aviel: select DNS!
[09:44] <Aviel> so i press continue
[09:44] <Aviel> oh
[09:44] <Aviel> ok dns sec
[09:44] <anathematic> select all imo
[09:44] <domas> (thats just to have your choice easier)
[09:44] <anathematic> lawl domas
[09:44] <megasquid> how would i remove a large number of files from a directory, if i do rm * i get and error: argument list to long
[09:44] <xenex> Does anyone know why I can't add any launchers to AWN?
[09:44] <Aviel> nvm i press contonue
[09:44] <Aviel> select non
[09:44] <Aviel> k its setup
[09:45] <anathematic> and Flannel  thanks for the link i'll read it now =)
[09:45] <domas> megasquid: echo * | xargs rm
[09:45] <domas> megasquid: or find ./ -print0 | xargs -0 rm
[09:45] <domas> :)
[09:45] <Aviel> and how i install there Proftpd and SSH and Apache2?!
[09:45] <domas> or rm -r ./directory
[09:45] <Flannel> Aviel: Sigh.  If you wanted apache, you should've selected LAMP.
[09:45] <domas> Flannel: he doesn't want MySQL/PHP... yet!
[09:45] <Aviel> no i want just learn
[09:45] <Flannel> !lamp | Aviel
[09:45] <ubotu> Aviel: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[09:45] <Aviel> i want ssh and proftpd
[09:45] <Aviel> how i can install?
[09:46] <bruenig> !info ssh
[09:46] <ubotu> ssh: Secure shell client and server (transitional package). In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.3p2-8ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB
[09:46] <bruenig> !info proftpd
[09:46] <ubotu> proftpd: Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.0-21ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 765 kB, installed size 2276 kB
[09:46] <domas> Aviel: apt-get install openssh-server
[09:46] <Aviel> here setup done
[09:46] <Flannel> Aviel: follow that page.  I'll tell you how to do it.
[09:46] <Aviel> k
[09:46] <domas> mmm
[09:46] <domas> I don't even use Ubuntu
[09:46] <domas> oh wait, I do
[09:46] <Flannel> ssh is 'openssh-server' (in main) and proftp is 'proftpd' (in universe).
[09:46] <timfrost> pluma, no.  If you want to truncate a lot of files, then try 'for f in *file; do cp /dev/null $f; done' (because the other method REQUIRES the actual file name)
[09:46] <Aviel> and how to install proftpd server??
[09:47] <Flannel> !software | Aviel
[09:47] <ubotu> Aviel: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents
[09:47] <yeniklasor> I forgot my bluetooth paired device password. How can I reset or change it?
[09:47] <Flannel> Aviel: follow that page, it explains it all in detail.
[09:47] <domas> megasquid: any of ^^ worked for you? :)
[09:47] <megasquid> domas, yeah thanks i just removed the directory then recreated it
[09:47] <Aviel> ok thx
[09:48] <Johto> Oh my, just testing this remote system called NXServer (nomachine.com) ..damn this is sweet and fast
[09:48] <Johto> way faster than VNC
[09:48] <domas> used to be PITA to setup
[09:48] <domas> though I tried that five years ago or so :)
[09:48] <domas> once upon a time everything used to be PITA to setup :)
[09:49] <Aviel> hey ppl how i can set my root password after i format the pc and i got server version?
[09:49] <Johto> PITA?
[09:49] <Johto> what is PITA

[09:51] <ziroday> askand: compiz-fusion is the latest compiz and beryl mixed togetther and is still a alpha release
[09:51] <biblio7> @poperdtb_
[09:51] <domas> Johto: since when? :)
[09:52] <ziroday> askand: compiz is the latest stable compiz
[09:52] <biblio7> poperdtb_1979@
[09:52] <askand> ziroday: but what has got better? what new effects has been added?
[09:52] <yeniklasor>  I forgot my bluetooth paired device password. How can I reset or change it?
[09:52] <Johto> domas: since..hmm, 1990's ...
[09:52] <jafair> asti
[09:52] <domas> 1990's as in 1990 or 1999? :)
[09:53] <ziroday> askand: have u ever used beryl?
[09:54] <ponty> does anyone here know how to enable lyrics script and cover manager with proxy server in amarok
[09:56] <askand> ziroday: yes
[09:56] <ponty> i am quite a new ubuntu user and i'm not sure about how to fix it
[09:57] <ziroday> askand: go watch some vid's of beryl, compiz and compiz-fusion on the web and youll see the diff. Basically compiz-fusion is compiz + beryl
[09:58] <someone2005again> That anything like one form of java running ?
[09:58] <anathematic> i'm downloading a printer driver at the moment, do i want the cups or the lpr one?
[09:58] <askand> ziroday: ok..I had troubles running beryl when I upgraded to feisty,,it was slow..someone told me it was something because the xorgfile was different in feisty and edgy..do you think this will work better?
[09:59] <ziroday> askand: not sure, what card the best place to ask is #ubuntu-effects #opencompositing #beryl and #compiz
[10:01] <brad016> if you have a windows installation disk can you have wine use that for running windows apps in linux?
[10:02] <ponty> wine usually doesnt work that well
[10:02] <SoulChild> What does this message mean at boot: "FWH not detected"?
[10:03] <KomiaPoika> hi
[10:03] <KomiaPoika> can someone help me with warnquota and exim?
[10:07] <gunny01> I need to edit an .avi file. Can anyone recomend some software to do that with?
[10:08] <Kprofthreat> gunny01: Kino.
[10:08] <ponty> does anyone here know how to enable lyrics script and cover manager with proxy server in amarok
[10:08] <gunny01> Kprofthreat: Kino doesn't import avi files...'
[10:08] <askand> gunny01: kino sucks...try cinellera
[10:09] <Kprofthreat> You need a plugin for Kino, but it works.
[10:09] <gunny01> Kprofthreat: where can I get the plugin?
[10:09] <Kprofthreat> Or you could always just get Ubuntu Ultimate Studio, has all the video editors you need
[10:09] <Kprofthreat> gunny01: I'll google for it.
[10:10] <SoulChild> What does this message at boot mean: "intel_rng: FWH not detected"?
[10:11] <Hor|zon> lol SoulChild, google
[10:11] <SoulChild> Hor|zon: hmm ,... okay
[10:12] <Kprofthreat> Google first, people. Trust me. There's a wealth of information out there.
[10:12] <m0rph^^> i'm pretty new to ubuntu. i recently gave it a shot with the wubi installer and i noticed that it mounts my internal ntfs volume just fine, with read&write access, but any ntfs volumes i plug in, they automount as read-only.
[10:12] <m0rph^^> how would I get around that?
[10:12] <Hor|zon> SoulChild, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/102982
[10:13] <Hor|zon> that?
[10:13] <Kprofthreat> m0rph^^, please go to your terminal and type in sudo fdisk -l
[10:13] <kimmey2k3> m0rph^^: Im not sure, but setting rights in /etc/fstab may work
[10:13] <m0rph^^> what does fdisk do
[10:14] <m0rph^^> and do I do that before pluggin anything in?
[10:14] <m0rph^^> or what
[10:14] <kimmey> Ive had some problems with that myself
[10:14] <kimmey> If I remember right, I did it after I mounted the partition
[10:14] <Kprofthreat> Is your other drive already plugged?
[10:15] <Kprofthreat> If so, then you can go to terminal. Otherwise, it won't detect it.
[10:15] <kimmey> And them re-mount for ex
[10:15] <Kprofthreat> Also, it would help to see the contents of your fstab and mtab files. They can be found in /home/etc
[10:15] <kimmey> and then adding something similar to   /dev/xxx /media/extdrive ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
[10:16] <m0rph^^> hmm ok
[10:16] <kimmey> remember to install ntfs-3g
[10:16] <kimmey> you can read more at http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
[10:16] <m0rph^^> is it safe?
[10:17] <kimmey> yepp :D
[10:17] <pluma> timfrost: thanks, mate
[10:17] <m0rph^^> like my drives won't explode or anything :P
[10:17] <Kprofthreat> Of course not..in the first 2 minutes of running it

[10:42] <jscinoz> hey guys
[10:43] <jscinoz> I have a full install of ubuntu on a hardrive from a laptop with a failed mobo, the computer i'm currently on cant boot from usb, so i made a grub CD to boot the external HD, however i dont know what i should put on the root line? what should i put?
[10:43] <intelikey> hmmm interesting,  i just installed ubuntu dapper and then installed ubuntu dapper 64bit on another partition and it made the 32bit version unbootable
[10:44] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, how is it unbootable?
[10:44] <intelikey> thedonvaughn it hangs
[10:45] <jscinoz> I have a full install of ubuntu on a hardrive from a laptop with a failed mobo, the computer i'm currently on cant boot from usb, so i made a grub CD to boot the external HD, however i dont know what i should put on the root line? what should i put?
[10:45] <intelikey> goes loading the kernel then hangs
[10:45] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, and they are not sharing any partitions at all right?
[10:45] <intelikey> thedonvaughn yes they are sharring /boot
[10:45] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, well that's the issue
[10:45] <intelikey> thedonvaughn why ?
[10:46] <intelikey> how is that the issue ?
[10:46] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, because the kernel name is blah-generic
[10:46] <thedonvaughn> for both 64 and 32
[10:46] <thedonvaughn> so basically you're using 64 bit loader and kernel and trying to boot 32 bit system
[10:46] <intelikey> no it's not
[10:46] <jscinoz> What should i put on the root (hdX,X) line of my menu.lst to boot off a usb drive?
[10:46] <intelikey> you missed that ohne
[10:46] <intelikey> one
[10:47] <Kpr> Who wants to live forever??
[10:47] <intelikey> thedonvaughn the kernel and the initrd.img names are unique for both systems
[10:47] <intelikey> thedonvaughn anything else ?
[10:48] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, nope that'd be the only thing that i could think of
[10:48] <thedonvaughn> all though it's obvious that something in the 64 bit installation crossed with the 32 bit
[10:49] <CyTG> can anyone think of a reason why VNC will not redraw the screen ? i have to relog in to see "changes" i made ...
[10:49] <anathematic> good ftp server software? :)
[10:49] <randoman> hey guys is there anyway to expand the toolbar over to my second monitor?
[10:49] <randoman> in gnome?
[10:50] <amoleroguejar> toni
[10:50] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst and an ls of your /boot dir
[10:50] <intelikey> thedonvaughn yeah it would seem that way.  but what ?   i'm looking in /boot right now and there is  2.6.15-23-386  and  2.6.15-23-amd64-generic   of every file except the memtest86'r
[10:50] <amoleroguejar> ola
[10:51] <intelikey> thedonvaughn can't pastebin.  can't get on line with that lappy

[10:52] <moustafa> Can I hack , or view any windows pc by using ubuntu?
[10:53] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, welllll... weird for debuging sense i'd might just take out the UUID crap in /etc/fstab and in your grub.conf and use the actual partition names
[10:53] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, just to rule that out ya know?
[10:53] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, but that's just me...
[10:53] <intelikey> thedonvaughn i don't think dapper uses uuid
[10:53] <intelikey> i'll look
[10:53] <thedonvaughn> k
[10:54] <mat1980> moustafa: of course
[10:54] <intelikey> nope strieght /dev/sda#
[10:55] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, k.  maybe it's not a software issue....  hrrm try booting with ACPI disabled?  either in BIOS or in grub line
[10:55] <thedonvaughn> apci
[10:55] <intelikey> but i think you inadvertantly hit it.
[10:55] <thedonvaughn> er acpi :)
[10:55] <intelikey> i think it is fstab.   the number of the swap partition changed
[10:56] <intelikey> looking into it now
[10:56] <nafis_devlp1> does anyone knows whats the minimum hardware requirement of Ubuntu Server edition??
[10:56] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, ah right on
[10:56] <intelikey> yep went from 5 to 7  :)
[10:56] <intelikey> duh.....
[10:56] <gumjo> Hello, whenever I try to play file thru the terminal which has a bracket in the filename, it says bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[10:56] <jscinoz> What should i put on the root (hdX,X) line of my menu.lst to boot off a usb drive?
[10:57] <thedonvaughn> nafis_devlp1, pretty low, runs great on my PIII-500 with 256ram and 9gig scsi :)
[10:57] <thedonvaughn> gumjo, use qoutes around the name
[10:57] <intelikey> thedonvaughn now if you can stumble onto the modem issue  :)
[10:57] <jscinoz> Could i run ubuntu sever 7.04 on a P2, with 64mb ram and 8gb SCSI hd?
[10:57] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, maybe another beer :)
[10:57] <intelikey> :)
[10:57] <nafis_devlp1> then my old PC is screwed, its P-II with 64MB ram
[10:57] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, been so long since i've messed with a modem :(
[10:58] <jscinoz> same as mine Nafis :)
[10:58] <bmc3> Hello!
[10:58] <jscinoz> going to see if i can get it working now
[10:58] <pixelation> I installed 64 bit Xubuntu because I make some pretty high graphic FPS games (which require 64 bit processors). I am new to linux, but plan to make games for linux. However I need access to 32 bit applications. Is there any user-friendly way to emulate/enable 32 bit programs?
[10:58] <bmc3> What do I do, when i get this error message:
[10:58] <bmc3> root@ubuntu:/# ls
[10:58] <bmc3> ls: relocation error: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/librt.so.1: symbol __pthread_clock_gettime, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libpthread.so.0 with link time reference
[10:59] <intelikey> CRAP! wasn't fstab.
[10:59] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, bleh
[10:59] <bmc3> I think libc6 is damaged, but i don't know how to repair/reinstall ist, since dpgk --root=/... tries to use the defuct libs to run the installation script.
[10:59] <thedonvaughn> bmc3, that's gona be a tough one to fix without just doing a reinstall
[10:59] <nafis_devlp1> so? is it possible to run on P-II with 64MB ram??
[10:59] <intelikey> i just got to thinking all the swap being wrong would do is cause swap not to mount...
[10:59] <thedonvaughn> bmc3, how'd you get in this state?
[11:00] <Kpr> Is what possible nafis?
[11:00] <intelikey> and it's hung with a blank screen again
[11:00] <nafis_devlp1> to run Ubuntu Server edition
[11:00] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, true but depending on how fstab is setup it would cause it to kernel panic (if that option was set, not sure off top of my head if ubuntu does that)
[11:00] <bmc3> thedonvaughn: Uhm ... the machine hang and the user resetted it.
[11:00] <Kpr> !tell nafis_devlp1 fluxbox
[11:00] <predaeus> pixelation, if you have an amd64 you can run 32bit applications fine. The problem is that you need the libs and apt-get does not support automatic installation for them. So you need to download and add to e.g. /lib32/ yourself. CAUTION: Do not overwrite the 64bit libs in the /lib64 or /lib folders.
[11:00] <Kpr> !tell nafis_devlp1 about fluxbox
[11:00] <deprecatd> nafis_devlp1: i was running a debian etch server on similar hardware, haven't tried ubuntu server, but a imagine it wouldn't be too bad.
[11:00] <CaptainMorgan> !gtk
[11:00] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[11:00] <predaeus> pixelation, you probably also need the linux32 application.
[11:01] <Kpr> !gimpshop
[11:01] <ubotu> gimpshop is a hack that makes The Gimp look and feel more like Photoshop.  A .deb for Ubuntu is available via http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294
[11:01] <pixelation> gah
[11:01] <bmc3> thedonvaughn: You got any ideas how i could recover the machine?
[11:01] <jscinoz> What should i put on the root (hdX,X) line of my menu.lst to boot off a usb drive?
[11:01] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, hrrm.. well might want to try disabling APCI?  not really sure past that.
[11:01] <intelikey> thedonvaughn i don't think it's even getting to the fstab.  i think it's hanging before it leaves the initrd
[11:01] <anonymousllm> !apple
[11:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about apple - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:01] <thedonvaughn> bmc3, unfortunately no
[11:01] <nafis_devlp1> deprecatd:>> which ver of debian?
[11:01] <bmc3> thedonvaughn: Too bad. :-(
[11:01] <intelikey> thedonvaughn but it booted ok before i installed the 64bit
[11:01] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, yah that's true
[11:01] <deprecatd> nafis_devlp1: etch (current stable)
[11:01] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, u running hyperthreading or anything?
[11:02] <intelikey> no
[11:02] <praveen_> hi
[11:02] <thedonvaughn> k
[11:03] <intelikey> i'm gonna boot the live 32 and reinstall grub
[11:03] <m0rph^^> anyone here familiar with the inner workings of wubi?
[11:03] <nafis_devlp1> !tell nafis_devlp1 about flubox
[11:03] <m0rph^^> said I wanted to replicate the same install, but with real partitions
[11:04] <m0rph^^> can I use the .iso wubi downloaded
[11:04] <m0rph^^> will it be the same?
[11:04] <nafis_devlp1> !tell nafis_devlp1 about fluxbox
[11:04] <praveen_> heh unable to start gdm
[11:04] <praveen_> how to re configure gdm ??
[11:04] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, yah i'm not sure if 64bit and 32bit grub can even boot each other ya know?  I've honestly never tried.  They might have to each have theri own stage1
[11:05] <thedonvaughn> so no sharing /boot
[11:05] <aleksanteri> what's the command to add an user to a group?
[11:05] <intelikey> this brand new tosheba is being a real pain.
[11:05] <intelikey> aleksanteri usermod ?
[11:05] <deprecatd> aleksanteri: adduser
[11:05] <KomiaPoika> aleksanteri: man addgroup
[11:05] <aleksanteri> geez
[11:05] <aleksanteri> which one?
[11:05] <intelikey> aleksanteri usermod ?
[11:06] <intelikey> man usermod
[11:06] <thedonvaughn> aleksanteri, usermod -Ga
[11:06] <aleksanteri> ok
[11:06] <aleksanteri> thanks }}
[11:06] <aleksanteri> erm
[11:06] <aleksanteri> oh well thanks :)

[11:07] <deprecatd> i've just done an upgrade and a reboot, and my nvidia drivers are gone (again). I've tried doing an aptitude install, but it still not working.. what am i missing?
[11:07] <tarzeau> deprecatd: you're missing the nvidia drivers
[11:08] <deprecatd> tarzeau: thanks :P
[11:08] <tarzeau> deprecatd: 32 or 64bit? kernel version? your own or ubuntu?
[11:08] <praveen_> heh can ne one help me out with configuring gnome
[11:09] <tarzeau> praveen_: i've seen people build the latest kde in their home. but gnome? that's insane
[11:09] <tarzeau> praveen_: or you don't mean ./configure ?
[11:09] <deprecatd> tarzeau: x86_64, 2.6.20-16-generic.. ubuntu default.
[11:09] <praveen_> na

[11:09] <praveen_> i am able to start xwindows
[11:10] <praveen_> yea i mean settings
[11:10] <tarzeau> praveen_: it's not xwindows. call it X , or x window system
[11:10] <praveen_> yea k X windows
[11:10] <tarzeau> praveen_: no
[11:10] <tarzeau> praveen_: not windows
[11:10] <bmc3> thedonvaughn: Yay! ls works again. I copied the files from libc6 and libc6-i686 from the live-cd's filesystem to the defuct installation. ldconfig .. et voila!
[11:10] <tarzeau> praveen_: just X, X Window(without s) System
[11:10] <gerard> Good morning
[11:11] <morpheus> ok, this is a long shot, anyone know of any open source warehouse systems that will run on an ubuntu server?
[11:11] <praveen_> k.....   the problem is wen boot ubuntu festy fawn it doent start
[11:11] <praveen_> in the graphical mode
[11:11] <intelikey> gerard yeah it depresses me to
[11:11] <Jordan_U> praveen, X fails to start? What GFX card?
[11:12] <praveen_> Intel
[11:12] <praveen_> G965
[11:12] <gerard> I have the ATI x1600 card and desktop effects is not working
[11:12] <NickRivers> praveen_: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  to reconfigure your Xorg setup and write a new Xorg.conf
[11:12] <Jordan_U> praveen_, Does it give an error screen or just stay blank
[11:12] <Jordan_U> ?
[11:12] <gerard> someone in here was helping me getting it going but I had to go
[11:12] <Frogzoo> morpheus: sourceforge is your best bet
[11:12] <gerard> Is there anyone who could help me?
[11:13] <praveen_> i get the mouse pointer ....
[11:13] <Jordan_U> gerard, Does it work with 3D *without* fglrx?
[11:13] <praveen_> it was working fine till i changed the settings
[11:13] <gerard> Jordan_U: how would I test that?
[11:13] <Io1> how do i use daemon tools with ubuntu?
[11:13] <Jordan_U> gerard, Did you install fglrx?
[11:13] <gerard> Jordan_U: this is a straight install from 7.04 cd
[11:14] <gerard> Jordan_U: glxgears works fine
[11:14] <Jordan_U> gerard, OK, look at the output of this command, yes = works : glxinfo | grep render
[11:14] <Io1> Can someone help me, how do i use daemon tools with ubuntu i have already installed with, sudo apt-get install daemontools-installer and that worked fine  whats the next stepp?
[11:15] <gerard> direct rendering: Yes
[11:15] <gerard>     GLX_ATI_pixel_format_float, GLX_ATI_render_texture
[11:15] <gerard> OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1600
[11:15] <deprecatd> ok, let me put it another way.. i've run "aptitude install nvidia-glx-new" but X still can't load the NVIDIA kernel modules. What else do i need to do? (it worked before the update manager got to it)
[11:15] <gerard> I switched on the restricted driver
[11:15] <crdlb> gerard, restricted manager == fglrx
[11:16] <crdlb> that driver requires you to use Xgl if you want to run desktop effects
[11:16] <splashtk> Hi, I was wondering if someone could either help me with reseting my beryl/compiz settings or directing me to something so I can find out how :) Thanktou
[11:16] <gerard> crdlb: so what do I do to get it working?
[11:16] <Jordan_U> gerard, Try disabling it in restricted manager, see if you still get a yes from that command
[11:17] <Jordan_U> gerard, Or if glxgears works
[11:17] <gerard> Jordan_U: I dont, that is why I switched it on
[11:17] <brrrt> hello all
[11:17] <Igr> Is there anybody know how to use daemon tools?
[11:17] <gerard> Jordan_U: hoping it would make it work, but it did not
[11:17] <Jordan_U> splashtk, sudo dpkg-reconfigure beryl* might do it
[11:18] <norealgravity> help i need a walk through on how to do my partition for ubuntu 7.04. stuck on how to mount stuff
[11:18] <crdlb> gerard, you've got to use Xgl
[11:18] <intelikey> well it still wont boot 32bit.   just reinstalled grub from the live 32 and still nothing
[11:18] <thedonvaughn> bmc3, nice.  good going
[11:18] <Jordan_U> gerard, Then you need XGL, which I will warn you is a hack, and is only needed for ATI cards
[11:18] <splashtk> Jordan_U, sweet, with the * at the end?
[11:18] <thedonvaughn> intelikey, that's weird man
[11:18] <bmc3> thedonvaughn: maybe you can use this information at some time. thanks for replying to my question!
[11:18] <brrrt> i am using feisty-amd64 on a asus m2n-mx with MCP61 chipset and i get random kernel panic, aeii, killing interupt-handler :((   what can i do about this ???
[11:18] <wols_> norealgravity: what did you try, mounting wise?
[11:19] <Jordan_U> splashtk, Yes, I don't know what packages to reconfigure specifically, that will get anything starting with beryl
[11:19] <intelikey> yeah and i havent even modified anything in that system.  clean install a few hours ago
[11:19] <thedonvaughn> bmc3, yup noted :) np
[11:19] <wols_> brrrt: which interrupt handler? what stack trace?
[11:19] <Igr> Is there anyone who can help me with how to use DAEMON TOOLS on UBUNTU
[11:19] <intelikey> i'll reload it.
[11:19] <crdlb> gerard,  follow Method A of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl
[11:19] <splashtk> Jordan_U, basically I changed it from to xgl or something, now everytime I start it it hangs and I gotta restart x
[11:19] <norealgravity> wols: i have a 30gb and it has sda, sda1, and sda5. i think. when i try to do manual it says i have to mount it to root or something
[11:20] <splashtk> to xgl
[11:20] <wols_> norealgravity: not "or something". proper error messages
[11:20] <norealgravity> ok 1 minute
[11:20] <gerard> crdlb: will give that a try, thanks
[11:20] <intelikey> Q. "what do linux users do?"
[11:20] <urpop> join #kubuntu
[11:20] <Jordan_U> splashtk, That is probably a problem with XGL, I personally don't use beryl at all just because it would require me to use XGL on my card :(
[11:21] <intelikey> A. " they install software. "
[11:21] <wehttamb_> what is the best way to convert my wmv video files into another format
[11:21] <brrrt> wols_: sorry, its running now, i will tell you at next panic...
[11:22] <wols_> brrrt: write it down then
[11:22] <brrrt> ok
[11:22] <wols_> full stack trace if possible
[11:22] <brrrt> wols_ how can i set my console to 1024x768 so i can see all the output ?
[11:23] <splashtk> Jordan_U, yeah no still fucked up lol, everything froze :(
[11:23] <bmc3> brrrt: You could make a picture with your digital camera instead of writing down .. but make sure you can read everything on the picture
[11:23] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | splashtk
[11:23] <ubotu> splashtk: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:23] <brrrt> k, ill try
[11:24] <marsje> Hi. My hardware has started failing on me, so it's time for a new system. Can anyone recommend a passively cooled video card that works with Feisty (and I'm not a gamer!)
[11:24] <brrrt> call trace: main_time_handler
[11:24] <NickRivers> wehttamb_: try using avidemux
[11:25] <wehttamb_> ok
[11:25] <giro> wols: ok im stuck on step 4 of 7 it shows /dev/sda, dev/sda1 ext3 30gb, dev/sda5 swap 378mb. what do i do from here?
[11:25] <wols_> marsje: I'd stay away from ati, but nvidia ones should work jsut fine, even when you need a proprietary driver
[11:25] <BlendArt> has anyone got gtkradiant to work?
[11:25] <wols_> giro: step 4 of what?
[11:26] <lazz0> i hate nvidia
[11:26] <jscinoz> What should i put on the root (hdX,X) line of my menu.lst to boot off a usb drive?
[11:26] <giro> wols: ubuntu install
[11:26] <wols_> !install
[11:26] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[11:26] <NickRivers> marsje: try nvidia 7300LE ... passively cooled, works great with feisty
[11:26] <Jordan_U> lazz0, Unless you love intel you aren't going to have a fun time with linux then :)
[11:27] <marsje> thanks  wols_ and NickRivers , I'll look into those
[11:27] <dehm> quick question, for some reason nothing is showing up in kicker.. the only way i can switch is via alt-tab
[11:27] <dehm> heeeelp
[11:27] <wols_> Jordan_U: ati
[11:27] <dehm> =p
[11:27] <wols_> NickRivers: r350 cards and lower
[11:27] <wols_> marsje: how much do you want to spend and what do you want to do with the card/PC?
[11:27] <Gianfrix> hi!
[11:28] <Jordan_U> dehm, Try #kubuntu
[11:28] <dehm> ah
[11:28] <dehm> hehe  thanks
[11:28] <BlendArt> anyone got gtkradiant to work?
[11:29] <kraut> moin
[11:29] <NickRivers> marsje: an nvidia 7300 will run you about $100-125

[11:34] <NickRivers> I got my new ubuntu dell yesterday... this thing is shweet :)
[11:34] <Gothfunc> hi.  i have a toshiba tecra s1 with ubuntu feisty installed.  the specs for the machine are here:  http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/Contents/Toshiba_teg/EU/Others/Brochures/DSTES1_1004E.pdf which specifies the max RAM at 2gb.  i have just installed 2gb of RAM, and free -m reports 1011 installed.  any ideas why this would be?
[11:34] <Ireal> NickRivers: does it run kcalc?
[11:35] <demonstealer> i attempted at downloading vlc media player from the add/remove applications function, after 2 minutes of downloading it says failed to recieve a few packages from server and asked me to chose to ignore and continue which i did, therefore, vlc media player hasnt been installed yet
[11:35] <brrrt> wols_ , bmc3: have you seen: http://effet.info/PICT0028.JPG ? what do you think?
[11:35] <NickRivers> lreal - dunno... don't use kcalc but I don't see why not
[11:36] <haf> demonstealer, could be server probs, just try it again, and again
[11:36] <haf> if it still can't receive some of the packages, try at a later time
[11:36] <Ireal> brrrt: yikes
[11:36] <brrrt> ?
[11:36] <brrrt> (scared)
[11:36] <demonstealer> haf ive tried 3 times on different occasions

[11:37] <ziroday> can you open word 2007 docs in OOO?
[11:37] <Ireal> ziroday: don't think so
[11:37] <mat1980> demonstealer: have you refreshed the repository info before install? Sometimes happens that info get outdated and apt try to download packages that are no more available.
[11:37] <NickRivers> brb... gonna see how doom3 runs on this ubuntu dell :)
[11:37] <brrrt> Ireal: amd64x2

[11:37] <brrrt> ok
[11:37] <coz_> morning all
[11:37] <intelikey> demonstealer you can also open a terminal close the packagemanager and issue   apt-get update   to make sure that the package database is uptodate and that all repos are accessable
[11:37] <lipocsi> hello

[11:38] <gerard> hal: no need for pastebin, its short "The Composite extension is not available"
[11:38] <coz_> anyway to get this library ... it is not in the repos
[11:38] <intelikey> giro depends on lots of factors.  i don't use any swap

[11:44] <lipocsi> i just installed the new intel drivers to replace the i810 for my 915 chipset. i have new resolution options but if i select the new ones it goes to terminal and kicks me back to logon screen.how do i fix this?
[11:45] <wols_> marsje: you could even use integrated graphics. tho if you OC, I wouldn't
[11:45] <giro> wols: im getting no root file system is defined error. correct from partition menu. this is on step 4 0f 7 install. i click to format 30gb/dev/sda1 ext 3. stuck what to do?
[11:45] <marsje> wols_: I'm not going to overclock... rather underclock, since I'm tired of hot, noisy and power sucking computers
[11:46] <NickRivers> giro: did you manually partition the hdd?
[11:46] <marsje> wols_: I want a system taht brings me as much power/watt and power/euro as possible without it costing me an arm and a leg
[11:46] <marsje> wols_: and of course it has to be supported well by linux
[11:46] <giro> nickrivers: what i did was use mandriva to format then stuck in ubuntu disk
[11:46] <intelikey> marsje good luck
[11:47] <wols_> marsje: define arm and a leg? even consumer cards go up to 500$ easily and then you have SLI/crossfire
[11:47] <NickRivers> giro: use the ubuntu livecd to partition/format/install
[11:47] <wols_> marsje: stick to intel and nvidia then
[11:47] <giro> mickrivers: that is what im trying to do right now
[11:48] <giro> nickrivers: it wont install because no root file system is defined
[11:49] <xenex> Is it normal for nautilus to be using 55mb of memory?

[11:50] <wols_> marsje: marsje 7600gt or some 8600 perhaps even
[11:51] <xenex> intelikey, what am i supposed to do with that?
[11:51] <marsje> wols_: I guess there is no much difference in linux support for the different nvidia models?

[12:26] <Ajit> why my system gives i386 error when i am trying to install mp3 Driver gstreamer
[12:26] <dr_zoidberg> hey guys
[12:26] <Jamesinator> I'm having trouble setting up squid. I've installed squid via apt-get and have it set as a service, but the process immediately disappears after starting it. (ex: sudo /etc/init.d/squid start ; sudo squid -kcheck = squid: ERROR: No running copy)
[12:27] <dr_zoidberg> i know this is a general stupid questin...but how do u register nicsk on nickserv?
[12:27] <wols_> Ajit: how are you trying to install gstreamer? and what error exactly?
[12:27] <gordonjcp> dr_zoidberg: google for nickserv
[12:27] <jscinoz> What should i put on the root (hdX,X) line of my menu.lst to boot off a usb drive?\
[12:28] <crawling> gordonjcp, don't remember..but it's possible , i got some answers from other channel that i was going to try though
[12:28] <wols_> jscinoz: depends as what the BIOS sees it
[12:28] <wols_> usually right after the internal harddisks afaik
[12:28] <gordonjcp> crawling: here's a couple of things I'd like you to try, assuming you've got a) dual-boot and b) enough time
[12:28] <Ajit> I tried to play .dat video file then it asked for gstremear and when I tried to install then says i386 error (my ubuntu is not connected with internet)
[12:28] <wols_> Ajit: install how?
[12:29] <NickRivers> dee - haven't forgotten about you... think i've found the driver, checking to be sure now
[12:29] <Jamesinator> Ajit: You can't install a package from the internet if you're not connected to the internet
[12:29] <crawling> gordonjcp, a) true , b) i'm on vacations and really would like to have this working
[12:29] <gordonjcp> crawling: boot into Windows, check the sound works, then boot the livecd without powering off and check the sound works, then switch off completely (unplug the mains) for a minute and try the live CD
[12:29] <jscinoz> the BIOS i'm using can't normally boot USB devices, thats why i'm using a grub CD, i think it sees it has hd2,0 but it says invalid partition
[12:29] <wols_> and is "i36 error" all it said? cause I don't think so. we need exact error messages
[12:29] <jscinoz> but thats the only valid disk
[12:29] <jscinoz> do i need to add a stage1.5 for ext3?
[12:29] <doctor_zoidberg> clear

[12:29] <doctor_zoidberg> okay guys
[12:29] <gordonjcp> crawling: while you've got it working in the livecd, try and pastebin the output of lsmod
[12:29] <Ajit> wols_: Do I need internet to install gstreamer ?
[12:30] <d3v1l88> ola
[12:30] <gordonjcp> crawling: oh, and take it to #ubuntu-offtopic ;-)
[12:30] <wols_> jscinoz: if your bios can't see so, can grub cannot either. never will. you need to load a kernel from elsewher, which can then see it
[12:30] <doctor_zoidberg> i just installed dapper from a cd...i cant burn anymore cds so i'm trying to upgrade to edgy and then eventually to feisty
[12:30] <wols_> Ajit: no
[12:30] <crawling> gordonjcp, roger that ;)
[12:30] <jscinoz> wols, Is there a guide somewhere that can tell me how to do this?
[12:30] <Ajit> I tried with Add/Remove also
[12:30] <wols_> jscinoz: don't know of any ubuntu one. basically you need a kernel (possibly custom) on a floppy or CD
[12:31] <doctor_zoidberg> when i try to update to edgy using the updatemanager, i get some gpg errors....when i even try to run apt-get update i get some gpg errors too... i have been able to download applciations...but i cant upgrade beacuse of this gpg error...any help?
[12:31] <wols_> Ajit: I asked you a question. several in fact
[12:31] <jscinoz> and once the kernel on the CD is initalized it can then load the kernel on the USb device?
[12:31] <wols_> jscinoz: no. there is no kernel on the USB. the kernel is on CD or whereever. on CD there is only / and such
[12:32] <wols_> jscinoz: thing is, BIOS can't access USB drive, but a linux kernel can since it has the needed drivers
[12:32] <jscinoz> what if grub can see the disks but for somereason cant read the filesystem?
[12:32] <Catball> Hello, I had a couple of Ubuntu questions, not just due to accessibility quesitons, for the blind Linux user, but I wanted to ask a couple of questions here just to see if you folks could help.
[12:32] <wols_> then it'S the wrong filesystem
[12:32] <Ajit> I mounted E drive , my E drive hold video file, when I clicked on that file in file browser then a video player appear
[12:32] <Catball> First,
[12:33] <Ajit> in that player a pop up appear and asked to install Gstreamer
[12:33] <Ajit> every time says i386 error, my ubuntu is 7.04
[12:33] <Catball> I know that Orca in Gnome 2.18 is the default screen-reading utility when used on the Ubuntu desktop. However, I also know that in Feisty itself, Ubuntu includes the Speakup screen reading kernel patched as modules to allow access to the console. Now, I have a couple of very spisific questions.
[12:34] <Ajit> wols_: what more info do you need?
[12:34] <syock> My computer suspend works if I disable Desktop Effects, but every two times I suspend, then fan doesn't slow down
[12:34] <Jamesinator> I'm having trouble with running squid. I've installed squid via apt-get and have it set as a service, but the process immediately disappears after starting it. (ex: sudo /etc/init.d/squid start ; sudo squid -kcheck = squid: ERROR: No running copy)
[12:34] <syock> Should I get uswsusp?
[12:34] <wols_> Ajit: I need the info I asked for. which you haven't provided at all. read my questins more carefully
[12:34] <Ajit> my pc is celeron 2.4 ghz , 512 ram
[12:34] <Davasaurous> Anyone know the sync frequencies for a Toshiba Satellite 1410? :\
[12:34] <jscinoz> wols_ would this guide work http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t269145.html
[12:34] <Catball> I wanted to ask first of all, if it is possible to edit a run level system in Ubuntu desktop after installation, to insure that it boots strate away into the text console.
[12:35] <Catball> Just in case you seriously do not feel like using Gnome at that moment, etc.
[12:35] <wols_> jscinoz: it might
[12:35] <wols_> Catball: of course it's possible
[12:35] <wols_> Davasaurous: LCD?
[12:35] <Davasaurous> Yeah
[12:35] <doctor_zoidberg> when i try to update to edgy using the updatemanager, i get some gpg errors....when i even try to run apt-get update i get some gpg errors too... i have been able to download applciations...but i cant upgrade beacuse of this gpg error...any help?
[12:35] <Davasaurous> It's a laptop screen
[12:36] <wols_> Davasaurous: LCDs always use 50 or 60Hz
[12:36] <Catball> Okay. The next question.
[12:36] <NickRivers> dee : you here?
[12:36] <jscinoz> Can ubuntu server 7.04 run on a PII with 64mb of ram?
[12:36] <dee> yeah
[12:36] <jscinoz> without a GUI
[12:37] <NickRivers> what country did you purchase your acer aspire 3000 in?
[12:37] <gordonjcp> jscinoz: should do
[12:37] <gordonjcp> more memory would be good though
[12:37] <jscinoz> pity it uses old RDRAM
[12:37] <Ajit> wols_: how can i install this. see I am new to linux so i need some help.
[12:37] <jscinoz> hard to get
[12:37] <NickRivers> dee : what country did you purchase your acer aspire 3000 in?
[12:37] <wols_> Catball: 64MB is the minimum requirement yes
[12:37] <dee> indonesia
[12:37] <NickRivers> ok
[12:37] <dee> or taiwan
[12:37] <wols_> Ajit: you answer my questions first. and installing is done as usual
[12:38] <genericguy> hello
[12:38] <Catball> Over the sixth month period that Ubuntu makes releases, how well do you folks really test the platforms it supports? For example, I have seen some distros such as Gentoo Linux, that allow you to automate the installation process, only to totally mis-configure your kernel in such a way that Software Speech through accessibility crashes with SMP, or perahps an X_64 kernel gets configured as an X86, DMA instructions get disabled, etc.
[12:38] <Catball> I would really like to know how stable is Ubuntu Feisty under the AMD 64-bit environment itself? And what about Application usability/accessibility?
[12:38] <wols_> Catball: do you need a computer for a blind person and don't like frequent upgrades?
[12:39] <wols_> Catball: the problem with linux on 64bit is proprietary stuff. flash, acrobat, proprietary drivers, etc. linux itself runs very very well under 64bit
[12:39] <bartzitz> hello, does anyone has experience with run-init script from klibc?
[12:39] <Catball> Another question.
[12:40] <Ajit> wols_: what answer you want? my native is not english so i could not understand what answer should I give.
[12:40] <wols_> Catball: I'd use a distro with longe support cycles. ubuntu LTS, debian, RH, etc
[12:40] <wols_> Ajit: neither is mine
[12:40] <south01> hi, how can i open office 2007 document (xlsx, docx) with openoffice_
[12:40] <Ajit> you asked install how? that right?
[12:40] <wols_> Ajit: I want the EXACT, FULL error message and I want to know EXACTLY how you installed it
[12:40] <wols_> or rather, tried
[12:41] <Catball> I currently am running Microsoft Windows XP media center edition on my AMD64 Athlon X2 dual-core processor. And I have been wanting to switch strate into Ubuntu. But I am not sure how simple or Windows-Like Ubuntu really is, in particular for my father.
[12:41] <jscinoz> when's the next LTS? 8.10 or something?
[12:41] <wols_> Catball: give him kde instead. and it depends a bit what your father uses
[12:41] <Ajit> ok, let me give one minute, I will use pastebin to describe this.
[12:41] <Catball> He is not a techy person, and will not stand for me beginning to explain how to use a Linux text terminal, he lacks the skills that I do in using the CLI interface of Linux, and would need a GUI that really resembled Windows.
[12:42] <doctor_zoidberg> when i try to update to edgy using the updatemanager, i get some gpg errors....when i even try to run apt-get update i get some gpg errors too... i have been able to download applciations...but i cant upgrade beacuse of this gpg error...any help?
[12:42] <jscinoz> Catball its relatively easy to skin metacity to look like windows
[12:42] <Catball> Or at least that made you feel as if you were on Windows.
[12:42] <wols_> Catball: as long as you do the admin stuff, any linus is usable for him imho
[12:42] <Catball> Heh
[12:42] <jscinoz> give me aminute and i'll find you a link
[12:42] <bartzitz> trying to install feisty from nfs mount, after the boot switches to /root/ (wit unionfs overrides) init is still looking at / instead of /root/, anyone can help?
[12:42] <wols_> Catball: you can also give him windows via vmware or WINE
[12:42] <Catball> Ah
[12:42] <south01> hi, how can i open office 2007 document (xlsx, docx) with openoffice_
[12:42] <Catball> How about the Gnome desktop?
[12:42] <jscinoz> I'd reccommed WINE of VMware
[12:42] <NickRivers> dee : ok... think I have the necessary driver files... let me upload them to my webspace so you can download them - you'll need them to setup ndiswrapper
[12:42] <jscinoz> less compatible but much much faster
[12:43] <dee> ok
[12:43] <Jamesinator> jscinoz: Are you joking?
[12:43] <zegnus> hi !, I have a problem with deskbar-applet. I go to configuration, search in web plugin, ONLY the primary but when I search, it is in all searchers, and in firefox I only have goole.. any idea ??
[12:43] <jscinoz> no..
[12:43] <jscinoz> Wine is faster than VM ware just not as compatible.
[12:43] <Catball> Okay, also here is something else.
[12:43] <jscinoz> because its not an emulator
[12:43] <wols_> Catball: it will work too. it has mail, web and a text processing app. what more does he need?
[12:43] <Jamesinator> "WINE of Vmware" <-- Did you mean "WINE over VMware"?
[12:43] <jscinoz> over yeah
[12:43] <jscinoz> sorry :P
[12:43] <Jamesinator> Ah, ok
[12:43] <bartzitz> any nfs booting experts? please help, struggling with my problem for 3 days already
[12:44] <jscinoz> >_<
[12:44] <lorenz> hi guys - I'm having problems - my windows borders disappeared
[12:44] <Jamesinator> I was going, "What the hell? Would WINE'ing VMware even WORK?" :D
[12:44] <jscinoz> what was that XP-like metacity theme?
[12:44] <wols_> lorenz: using beryl?
[12:44] <bartzitz> lorenz: restart metacity
[12:44] <jscinoz> clearlooks or something?
[12:44] <mneisen> Hi, could someone familiar with kernel upgrades, dpkg incantations and the like please have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=484030 ? Thanks in advance!
[12:44] <Catball> I have been wishing to combine server/desktop useage with Ubuntu. Would it be possible for me to install Ubuntu to the drive, install open-ssh-server, and a few other components, run them through the Linux console, and then just use the machine (with the dual-core support and 64-bit processing) as a desktop?
[12:44] <lorenz> wols_: yeah, used it for some times without problems. now I wanted to install the new compiz, but all the window borders are gone
[12:45] <wols_> Catball: easily doable
[12:45] <wols_> !neryl | lorenz
[12:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about neryl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:45] <jscinoz> Catball, yes use the desktop CD not server
[12:45] <wols_> !beryl | lorenz
[12:45] <ubotu> lorenz: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[12:45] <jscinoz> then simply install the required packages through Synaptic
[12:45] <wols_> mneisen: do not use apt-get. use aptitude
[12:45] <Catball> Ah
[12:45] <jscinoz> Catball, i believe you wanted Ubuntu to look similar to XP for your father?
[12:46] <Catball> Apt-get is dependency driven or has dependency related issues.
[12:46] <wols_> mneisen: unable to create `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic': No space left on device
[12:46] <jscinoz> Dependency driven
[12:46] <south01> hi, how can i open office 2007 document (xlsx, docx) with openoffice?
[12:46] <wols_> mneisen: now just guess what this means?
[12:46] <jscinoz> it'll automatically install any required dependencies
[12:46] <Ajit> wols_: when I clicked .dat file then totem opened a popup appeared. that popup said to install GStreamer.
[12:46] <NickRivers> dee - I found a howto for your broadcom 4318 wifi... go here -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102&highlight=ndiswrapper+howto
[12:46] <Catball> And I don't like apt-get, too many errors occure. I've used Debian itself for a few months, and don't think that Apt-get should be the tool, whoever suggested using aptitude is correct. :)
[12:46] <antoniahuesa> olaaa
[12:46] <wols_> Ajit: what happens if you install gstreamer via synaptic?
[12:46] <dee> ok
[12:47] <jscinoz> I believe the newest version of apt-get has greatly improved dependancy handling
[12:47] <antoniahuesa> olaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[12:47] <dee> nick
[12:47] <wols_> Catball: which debian did you use and when?
[12:47] <WeeJeWel> what does dependency is not satisfiable: hotplug mean?
[12:47] <Jamesinator> jscinoz: apt-get install apt-get <-- ?
[12:47] <mneisen> wols_: This means that you did not read the hyperlinked posting in the Ubuntu forums ... :-)
[12:47] <wols_> jscinoz: no. debian suggest strongly aptitude. so unless ubuntu has a different apt-get, don't use it
[12:47] <mneisen> wols_: There *is* more than enough space on the partitions.
[12:47] <jscinoz> wols_ according to this page apt-get was fixed in 6.10
[12:47] <jscinoz> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude
[12:47] <dyclops> hi
[12:48] <Catball> I also wonder if Ubuntu can support multi-channel supported sound cards the way Windows does? I am very curious, or would the built-in Alsa drivers in the kernel keep me from using it properly.
[12:48] <mneisen> wols_: I will give aptitude a try, though. Thanks for the suggestion.
[12:48] <jscinoz> Catball, what soudncard is it? If its a creative X-FI then its no go
[12:48] <Catball> I just wish to know. I do not wish to make a complete switch to Ubuntu right off the bat.
[12:48] <Catball> Especially if this may pose any spisific problems.
[12:48] <jscinoz> Catball, what soundcard is it?
[12:49] <dyclops> hi. I am trying to install ubuntu 7.04. When it is booting into the install (livecd) it just sits there - Outputiing "Permission denied". It then says something about alsactl error
[12:49] <defrysk> wols_, aptitude is not really recommended in ubuntu unless one is a bit experienced
[12:49] <Catball> Under Windows XP, it shows up as an: RealTechAC97Audio sound-card.
[12:49] <wols_> mneisen: won't help. there is not enough space for some reason. imho, it's your /boot
[12:49] <dyclops> Can anyone help?
[12:49] <Catball> If that helps
[12:49] <wols_> defrysk: why not?
[12:49] <jscinoz> that should be fine, i think thats a motherboard onboard
[12:49] <jscinoz> they generally work near perfectly
[12:49] <Catball> Ah
[12:49] <Catball> Nice
[12:49] <pbts> hiya. I have a usb automount, gnome, hal dpkg question. I hope someone can help.
[12:49] <wols_> Catball: it does. google for "dmix"
[12:49] <jscinoz> jamesinator, apt-get install apt
[12:49] <defrysk> wols_, because aptitude can uninstall a complete os just to resolve one dependency
[12:49] <pbts> My usb hard drives mount crazily with different names all of the time. It's hard to create playlists. And the filesystems have labels, so they ought to work.
[12:50] <jscinoz> Catball, have you tried the live CD yet?
[12:50] <Ajit> when i tried to search gstrreamer in synaptic then i did not get any result.
[12:50] <south01> hi, how can i open office 2007 document (xlsx, docx) with openoffice_
[12:50] <wols_> defrysk: only if you mix it with apt in the wrong way. synaptic has the same kind of dependency handling
[12:50] <Jamesinator> jscinoz: It was a joke, but thanks...
[12:50] <pbts> I've upgraded from the previous ubuntu version. I think hald is kind of screwed. My plan is to uninstall hald completely then reinstall it
[12:50] <zegnus> Ajit: because is gstreamer  xd
[12:50] <jscinoz> :P
[12:50] <Ajit> there is a dropdown, which value should i select to search
[12:50] <Catball> I also wanted to ask this. How well does Ubuntu test packages before a release? Spisifically, I am curious about tools such as Speech-Dispatcher, and SpeechD-up, and Gnome-Speech, and such.
[12:50] <pbts> will that destroy my system?
[12:50] <wols_> defrysk: and as I said: debian deprecates apt-get which means either ubuntu does their own or follow suit sooner or later
[12:50] <zegnus> south01: I think there is a conversor, search in google docx openoffice
[12:51] <jscinoz> Packages in the official repositories usually are of the highest standard, I can't speak for those in 3rd party repos.
[12:51] <defrysk> wols_, which is usually the case if apt-get get into problems
[12:51] <mneisen> wols_: There are 109MB free on /boot.
[12:51] <annoth> hello...
[12:51] <mneisen> wols_: This should be enough.
[12:51] <Ajit> zegnus	: means I should search  gstreamer xd ?
[12:51] <defrysk> wols_, this is not debian
[12:51] <Catball> LOL just use Aptitude.
[12:51] <wols_> defrysk: you are based on debian and your whole package management comes from there
[12:52] <pbts> wow did debian really deprecate apt-get?
[12:52] <defrysk> wols_, ubuntu genarally advises to use apt
[12:52] <mneisen> wols_: Plus, aptitude gives me this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27254/
[12:52] <tdn> How do I get the sources for the new Amarok for Kubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn? On amarok.kde.org there is only sources for Edgy Eft.
[12:52] <pbts> so I guess I won't toast the system,
[12:52] <zegnus> Ajit: you have all official repositories on ??
[12:52] <annoth> ekhem... i have a question, do you know, how to get on a polish ubuntu irc canal?
[12:52] <jo_> hi
[12:52] <south01> zegnus: thanx i will check it
[12:52] <iFries> Is there anyone that knows how / with what program I can resize multiple images at once? Thanx
[12:52] <jo_> is it possible to upgrade to gusty from the update-manager?
[12:52] <wols_> mneisen: just for kicks. create a, say, 100MB file and copy it to /boot
[12:53] <wols_> iFries: a script that calls imagemagick
[12:53] <jscinoz> annoth, /join #ubuntu-pl
[12:53] <Ajit> zegnus: I installed ubuntu default and did not do  any config changes
[12:53] <iFries> wols_: Thanks, I will look for that
[12:53] <annoth> jscinoz:  thanks
[12:53] <wols_> !info gstreamer
[12:53] <Ajit> zegnus: plz note I am not connted with internet so i ca not use apt-get etc.
[12:53] <ubotu> Package gstreamer does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[12:54] <wols_> Ajit: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=gstreamer&searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all
[12:54] <wols_> also: apt-cache search gstreamer | grep gstreamer
[12:54] <wols_> and use apt-zip to download the stuff you need then
[12:54] <mneisen> Already did that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2912397&postcount=5
[12:54] <Catball> Is there a channel spisifically intended for Ubuntu-accessibility questions? Because although I have spisific questions that you people can answer just fine, alot of my questions refference accessibility tools in Ubuntu wich some of you may be totally clueless (no offense intended) about how to use, or be unable to answer my questions due to in-experice.
[12:54] <mneisen> wols_: Already did that: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2912397&postcount=5
[12:54] <zegnus> Ajit: mm ok, you need to put de install CD of ubuntu for install new packages...
[12:55] <Catball> inexperience, sorry.
[12:55] <herzenstern> hi. i am looking for a font the looks like Western Writting... any ideas?
[12:55] <WeeJeWel> herzenstern, dafont.com
[12:55] <zegnus> Ajit: In synaptic - repositoris, you have to enable the CD/DVD option
[12:56] <wols_> mneisen: do something dirty: unmount /boot. then create install the kernel. then move away the freshly installed files, mount /boot again and copy the new files in. then run /sbin/update-grub manually of course
[12:56] <jo_> How can I set the default keymap for all users (not only X)?
[12:56] <mneisen> wols_: Good suggestion, thanks, will try that.
[12:56] <mneisen> wols_: Are you willing to talk me trough that?
[12:57] <wols_> Catball: look for a linux accessibility channel or better forum/mailinglist in gernal. not just ubuntu
[12:57] <Catball> BRB. I will test the Ubuntu-accessibility channel, but thank you for general-levl assistance.
[12:57] <Catball> level
[12:57] <Ajit> ok, i will try again using synpatic after put my live CD into cd drive. (CD/DVD option is enabled since when I put CD then a pop up appear says that it include packages in synaptic)
[12:57] <Catball> BRB.
  thanx
[12:57] <nafis_devlp1> Can i run ubuntu sever 7.04 on a P2, with 64mb ram and 6.4gb hd?
[12:57] <Ajit> I will back tomorrow.
[12:57] <wols_> Catball: imho, with accessibility questions, the pools is too small so ask general questions and be prepared to do your won config work is best. better results than only relying on a distro
[12:58] <wols_> nafis_devlp1: barely. more ram would be better
[12:58] <WeeJeWel> nafis, without X it should work quite fast
[12:58] <zegnus> Ajit: see you, good luck
[12:58] <BadRobot> hi there I'm trying to get some stuff from Synaptic but i am getting this:E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[12:58] <BadRobot> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[12:58] <wols_> BadRobot: either you are not root or some other packaging program is having that lock
[12:58] <Ajit> thanks, trying to convert my home desktop from windows to linux. :)
[12:59] <CaptainMorgan> I'm trying to get this: `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` set as an alias in .bashrc, maybe with alias comp='....' and: `wx-config --cppflags` `wx-config --libs` maybe with alias widget='....' so that I can simply do gcc or g++ comp or widget foofile.cpp or .c any ideas why it's returning errors as if I didn't include those options?
[12:59] <WeeJeWel> BadRobot, are you root?
[12:59] <nafis_devlp1> i will be using only in text mode
[12:59] <wols_> ie apt, or aptitude or synaptic are already open
[12:59] <BadRobot> anyone yep
[12:59] <BadRobot> I am
[12:59] <WeeJeWel> another app open?
[12:59] <dyclops> hi. I am trying to install ubuntu 7.04. When it is booting into the install (livecd) it just sits there - Outputiing "Permission denied". It then says something about alsactl error
[12:59] <WeeJeWel> like apt-get in terminal
[12:59] <mneisen> wols_: It seems that I cannot umount /boot, because the device is busy - even after a clean reboot.
[12:59] <herzenstern> how do i install a font (ttf)
[12:59] <dalle> Anyone who knows anything about the kernels process scheduling?
[12:59] <wols_> mneisen: lsof, fuser
[12:59] <mneisen> wols_: Strangeness everywhere.
[01:00] <Ind[y] > So, when will compiz(-fusion) be the default Window Manager?
[01:00] <Frogzoo> dalle: what's your question, without the prelims?
[01:00] <wols_> Ind[y] : WIR

[01:22] <wols_> well, are really ALL files in boot necessary?
[01:22] <Aviel> no i cant set the root password
[01:22] <wols_> I mean grub alone should have some stages you don't need

[01:24] <Pici> WhitE-DeMoN: Its your password, unless you did something crazy.
[01:24] <Pici> WhitE-DeMoN: Or its not your computer, like PC said
[01:24] <PriceChild> WhitE-DeMoN, the sudo password is your own password
[01:25] <WhitE-DeMoN> Pici, it is my computer, but parents put a password.. you know teenager's life...

[01:34] <mneisen> wols_: One last thing: Do you know how to get the UUID of a partition?
[01:34] <CheshireViking> !uuid | mneisen
[01:34] <ubotu> mneisen: 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)
[01:35] <Aviel> hey its write error:
[01:35] <wols_> mneisen: /dev/disk/by-uuid
[01:35] <Viper^> moin!
[01:35] <Aviel> ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration
[01:35] <mneisen> wols_: It seems tha /dev/disk/by-uuid is not up-to-date.
[01:35] <jscinoz> Anyone know how to mount a feisty initrd image?
[01:35] <Aviel> what i should to do?
[01:35] <mneisen> CheshireViking: Will try that, thanks.
[01:36] <erat123> What is the UUID, is that a unique id for a drive?
[01:36] <wols_> read proftpd docs and configureit correctlys
[01:36] <Aviel> guys its write me error

[01:37] <Moduliz0r> Would installing Ubuntu have anything to do with Windows not accepting USB devices?
[01:38] <Pici> Moduliz0r: I can't think of any reason why that would happen.
[01:38] <dyclops> hi. I am trying to install ubuntu 7.04. When it is booting into the install (livecd) it just sits there - Outputiing "Permission denied". It then says something about alsactl error
[01:38] <PriceChild> Moduliz0r, "shoultn't" although I have a webcam that needs to be unplugged after linux for it to work in windows
[01:38] <Moduliz0r> hmm
[01:38] <Moduliz0r> I installed it today and now XP won't work, I cant use my USB mouse or Keyboards
[01:38] <PriceChild> Moduliz0r, stuff like keyboards and mice shouldn't matter... my webcam needs unplugging as it gets firmware loaded into it
[01:38] <Moduliz0r> k
[01:38] <Moduliz0r> Odd.
[01:38] <PriceChild> Moduliz0r, you sure they don't work after unplugging and replugging?
[01:38] <Moduliz0r> yes
[01:39] <Moduliz0r> and I've plugged in a different one too
[01:39] <PriceChild> Moduliz0r, it isn't linux
[01:39] <Moduliz0r> I know
[01:39] <Ilja> dyclops: you can install Ubuntu from network(grub+kernel+initrd)...just like me... :) it works fine... :)
[01:39] <Moduliz0r> but it's strange how it happens after an install of Ubuntu
[01:39] <cef> Is there a way to get NetworkManager to ignore an interface?
[01:39] <Aviel> plz help

[01:43] <jscinoz> How can i mount a feisty Initrd image?
[01:44] <cef> jscinoz: are you trying to add in drivers or just to have a look-see?
[01:45] <jscinoz> Cef, i'm making a CD to redirect boot to USB ( this guide http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=269145)
[01:45] <melchior7> I can do 'env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/my/lib/path program' to specify a single additional path; how do I define two?
[01:45] <cef> jscinoz: ahh ok.. well the initrd's are gzipped, so you might need to uncompress it to get in.
[01:46] <jscinoz> tried
[01:46] <openforlife> Hi. I am trying to help somebody who can't seem to get the Live CD running. He got an error: "no buffer space available" before the menu was displayed, but it continues as usual. Then it just stops somewhere in the checklist on startup. Any ideas?
[01:46] <jscinoz> what command should i use cef? what ever i used said it wasnt a  gzip
[01:46] <ipx> What's the "lost+found"-folder?
[01:47] <madmike> ipx: "lost+found" is where the data fsck finds goes
[01:47] <ipx> maddler: can i remove it? I've done it on 2 of my partitions already (a time ago) and just made a new one.
[01:48] <cef> jscinoz: hrmm.. 'file' tells me it's gzipped. it's an ascii cpio archive inside though (file -z)
[01:48] <predaeus> melchior7, not sure but try separating them with colons. see what "echo $PATH" looks like
[01:48] <Aviel> its write to me error what i try to install proftpd:
[01:48] <jscinoz> cef, what command should i use?
[01:48] <Aviel> ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration
[01:48] <Aviel> how can i fix it
[01:48] <Austy> I'm having trouble.  Can someone tell me how I can install ubuntu server 7 through the terminal?
[01:49] <melchior7> predaeus, thank you thank you thank you :-)
[01:49] <cef> jscinoz: you have to rename it to ______.gz  (replace with the real filename) to get gzip to understand it
[01:50] <predaeus> melchior7, it works? cool :-)
[01:50] <jscinoz> well now i can read the archive, but i still cant mount it
[01:50] <jscinoz> asks for fs type, i say cramfs, then i get bad superblock
[01:50] <ubuntuEdgy> >:o
[01:50] <jscinoz> cef should i try cpio -i then mount?
[01:51] <Aviel> how can i fix it??
[01:51] <Aviel> ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration
[01:51] <cef> jscinoz: possibly
[01:51] <jscinoz> alright running it now
[01:51] <jscinoz> probably going to take a while...
[01:51] <jscinoz> doesnt seem to be doing anything...

[01:52] <Austy> anyone?
[01:52] <person> hey, I am using Dapper and ltsp, i made a lts.conf file in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf.
[01:52] <person> I want to be able to play sound and use flash drives and cds, so I wrote
[01:52] <person> SOUND = True
[01:52] <person> LOCALDEV=True
[01:52] <person> but i still can't do either
[01:52] <person> thats on thin clients
[01:53] <james296> Im not sure how this happened but for some reason when I type anything proper in the terminal nothing at all happens
[01:54] <person> does anyone know how i can fix the problem?
[01:54] <james296> I did remove the sudo password thing that comes up every time you run a sudo command but I dunno if thats what caused this
[01:54] <valehru> Could anyone recommend a simple Interface to backup directories, convert them to an archive and store in a specific location?
[01:54] <cef> jscinoz: I can open the uncompressed file in archive manager
[01:54] <openforlife> Hi. I am trying to help somebody who can't seem to get the Live CD running. He got an error: "no buffer space available" before the menu was displayed, but it continues as usual. Then it just stops somewhere in the checklist on startup. Any ideas?
[01:54] <PriceChild> valehru, man tar & man mv... it is quite simple
[01:55] <james296> can someone PLZ help me?
[01:55] <cef> jscinoz: the gui archive tool built into the file browser
[01:55] <jscinoz> cef, so can i... shouldnt there be a linuxrc file in here?
[01:55] <valehru> PriceChild, I am looking for something that goes beyond that, like using cron tasks to automate it every night....

[01:56] <musiq> How can I set up ndiswrapper to use prism2_usb instead of rt2570 (which doesn't work)? (blacklist it doesn't work)
[01:56] <firedrops> how do i manually mount a directory by ftp?
[01:56] <person> does anyone have experience with ltsp?
[01:56] <PriceChild> valehru, well you could make a script with all the right tar and mv commands, then add it to a cron?
[01:56] <person> and thin clients
[01:56] <cef> jscinoz: it's called "init".. linuxrc is back a while ago
[01:56] <jscinoz> oh
[01:56] <jscinoz> thanks
[01:56] <PriceChild> valehru, there are gui backup clients.... but they may not do exactly what you want
[01:56] <cef> jscinoz: I think someone has already done what you're trying though
[01:57] <Aviel> ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration
[01:57] <PriceChild> valehru, such as the cron
[01:57] <jscinoz> probably
[01:57] <jscinoz> but i couldnt find it anywhere
[01:57] <Aviel> how i can fix it?
[01:57] <jscinoz> so i'm doing it myself
[01:57] <kdiggdy> Is there a online poker website like partypoker that will work in linux?

[02:15] <neopsyche> I have a bit of a noob question.. in thunderbird ... how do i link to pictures in email instead of attatching them??? i noticed when i get email from sites like Godaddy.com the pictures load into my email from their website.... which means its quick to send for them because the downloading occurs from their main server and not their mail system uploading the images with each message sent.
[02:15] <hellogoodbye> neo: usneoe html to link to the pictures
[02:15] <kbrooks> beebrasil, so, didn't you mean 7.10? and you might want to file a bug
[02:16] <Polis_ttt> neopsyche: create your email i html-formating, that will work
[02:16] <hellogoodbye> neo, use html to link to the pictures
[02:16] <neopsyche> hmmm
[02:16] <neopsyche> ok
[02:16] <neopsyche> ;-)
[02:16] <beebrasil> it is a known issue, see link:  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/25/usb-x-ubuntu-610 with 7.04
[02:17] <hellogoodbye> any macheads here?
[02:17] <neopsyche> is there a way to do that??? if i click send as HTML it says "attatching"
[02:17] <neopsyche> (images)
[02:18] <beebrasil> maybe 7.10 will fix this problem....I just can't run version 6.10 becuae i cant get the wireless working on my laptop but 7.04 it works great....but the persisent feature is not working

[02:22] <qaws> hi, how can I allow torrent in Ubuntu? It writes I am firewalled, but I havent installed any firewall.
[02:23] <PriceChild> qaws, do you connect through a router which may be firewalling you?
[02:23] <ubuntuEdgy> you are
[02:23] <gordonjcp> qaws: nat router...

[02:24] <ubuntuEdgy> try opera

[02:26] <ubuntuEdgy> latest opera ?
[02:26] <qaws> yes
[02:26] <ubuntuEdgy> i use to have that too
[02:26] <neopsyche> ok
[02:27] <neopsyche> it doesnt seem to load on my email
[02:27] <andax11> qaws: sometimes it's cause of a bad scripted webcontent, not cause of a browser.

[02:28] <rafal> i have partitioned, clean sata drive, and already i mounted partitions
[02:29] <ubuntuEdgy> its easy to move all the file over to that install once you installed ubuntu on the sata drive
[02:29] <andax11> qaws:  irc? pop3? opera is a webbrowser, isn't it?
[02:29] <ubuntuEdgy> opera is more that that

[02:40] <Ausicaemia> DanSmir123, Ask the question first, don't demand help.
[02:40] <Ausicaemia> !ask
[02:40] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:40] <sn0> oh corne that package is stored in 'coreutils' sorry
[02:40] <sn0> but you should have that installed, check with sudo dpkg
[02:40] <ubuntuEdgy> its to "Backup and restore your system!"
[02:41] <corne> how can i check that?
[02:41] <mat1980> DanSmir123: System->preferences->keyboard
[02:41] <VSpike> DanSmir123: keyboard preferences
[02:41] <DanSmir123> Question, i have installed two additional languages, but how to switch between them?
[02:41] <corne> no package named `tail' is installed, cannot configure
[02:41] <demonstealer> DanSmirl123: i'm afraid that is not possible or vry complicated for a someone new to ubuntu

[02:42] <luminerd> Anyone here put Ubuntu on an Intel Mac Pro?
[02:42] <PriceChild> !anyone | luminerd
[02:42] <ubotu> luminerd: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:42] <DanSmir123> demonstealer> you mean that there is no simple combination like shift+alt in win?
[02:42] <corne> coreutils is installed
[02:43] <Ausicaemia> Anybody know if there is a way to hide all the icons on a GNOME desktop?
[02:43] <luminerd> Is there anything different or difficult about putting Ubuntu on an Intel Mac Pro?
[02:43] <Ausicaemia> So that nothing but wallpaper shows?
[02:43] <DanSmir123> Does ubuntu have option like shift+alt for language switching?
[02:43] <corne> anyone else who can help me to solve this problem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27264/
[02:44] <mat1980> DanSmir123: what does shift+alt on windows?
[02:44] <Ireal> DanSmir123: ctrl-alt-l i think
[02:44] <rafal> \list
[02:44] <DanSmir123> mat1980: switching typing language
[02:44] <Ireal> DanSmir123: oh wait no.
[02:44] <DanSmir123> Ireal: screen saver :)
[02:45] <mat1980> DanSmir123: I guess you mean keyboard layout, right? Then I've already answered to you.
[02:45] <pha|con> DanSmir123: there isn't a hotkey for it like win, but if you go to system>admin>select language you can.  you'll have restart X for it to take effect tho
[02:45] <rapter> I installed ATI Catalist Controll Center and get now in Gnome with Xgl distorted grafic . There is a package wich fixes it but I dont remember the name . Could anybody help ???
[02:45] <Ireal> DanSmir123: altr-ctrl-k, is what my kcontrol tells me :)

[02:45] <richee> how do I enable the bluetooth of my laptop (COmpaq presario v2356
[02:45] <richee> ?
[02:46] <luminerd> Is there anything different or difficult about putting Ubuntu on an Intel Mac Pro?
[02:46] <pha|con> DanSmir123: yes, then restart X
[02:46] <PriceChild> luminerd, you may want to use their software... "bootcamp"? to sort it out easily?
[02:46] <Ausicaemia> luminerd, Yeah, there are forum threads devoted to it I think.
[02:46] <DanSmir123> pha|com: very very funny
[02:46] <Ausicaemia> Actually there is an entire forum.
[02:46] <mat1980> DanSmir123: On gnome I think so. On kde no, there is an applet to easily change keybord layout.
[02:46] <pha|con> danilos:  i'm not joking
[02:46] <richee> !bluetooth
[02:46] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[02:46] <wols_> luminerd: the mac uses EFI instead of a normal BIOS iirc
[02:46] <wols_> that'S all
[02:47] <Ausicaemia> So maybe do have a look around in there.
[02:47] <pha|con> DanSmir123: i'm not joking....
[02:47] <luminerd> Ausicaemia, do you happen to know the url? I googled around a bit and couldn't find very much useful info on ubuntu on intel mac
[02:47] <DanSmir123> mat1980: i have to download this applet?
[02:47] <Ausicaemia> Wouldn
[02:47] <luminerd> wols_, yeah, that sounds familiar
[02:47] <daquino> dude this is seriously a retarded problem with ubuntu... if i plug in my usb mouse it doesn't detect it... unless i reboot... this is stupid
[02:47] <Ausicaemia> luminerd, Wouldn't have a clue, but I'm sure there is one.
[02:47] <Ind[y] > I am enjoying the comforts of compiz right now :)
[02:47] <Ausicaemia> daquino, Then leave it plugged in?
[02:47] <PriceChild> daquino, tried a different port?
[02:47] <Ausicaemia> Or plug it in before startup?
[02:48] <mat1980> DanSmir123: wait a while, I'll look for un applet for gnome. Are you using gnome, right?
[02:48] <daquino> i went into hibernation mode then i come back and nothing matters it has to be plugged in at boot
[02:48] <daquino> thats retarded.....
[02:48] <daquino> i checked my xorg.conf and its setup for usb mice... it shoudl just work
[02:48] <tony_00021> umm anyone interested in helping me help myself and som others potentially... i need to find out how to uncompress a file.. i adictionary file to extract the words... maybe make a script so anyone owning such a file can convert to openoffice or other opensource format for themselves...
[02:49] <DanSmir123> mat1980: i'm using ubuntu default
[02:49] <DanSmir123> i don't think that it's gnome
[02:49] <person> does anyone know how to add localdev for ltsp in dapper
[02:49] <trekkme> which software would i use if i wanted to see incoming phonecalls as popup on my desktop?
[02:49] <Ausicaemia> tony_00021, That uh... didn't make a whole lot of sense.
[02:49] <mat1980> DanSmir123: well, there is an applet for gnome. It's installed by default. I've never used before.
[02:49] <DanSmir123> mat1980: urrrrrr...... :(
[02:50] <mat1980> DanSmir123: right click on panel, select add to panel, then look for the applet. I don't know its english name. But is easy to find it.
[02:50] <daquino> you guys are nuts.... usb drivers should be loaded
[02:50] <daquino> and they should hotplug
[02:50] <daquino> my dmesg doesn't even show the dam thing being plugged in
[02:51] <mat1980> DanSmir123: it has an icon with some flags
[02:53] <tony_00021> Ausicaemia, sorry. ms-office has a file format called .lex where they store the diccionary ..in my case swedish. i want to convert this to a format that i can use w for example openoffice . openoffice has no diccionary for swedish for example.. a know i guy who keeps XP just for tha diccionaries in german and swedish...
[02:53] <DanSmir123> mat1980: THANK YOU i got it :)\
[02:53] <Gothfunc> hi.  i have ubuntu server 6.10.  i did sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop which went fine.  i reboot and X does not start.  i try 'startx' and there is no such command.  is that normal?
[02:53] <nick_> hi all i got a question anyone recommend a good dvd burner program?
[02:53] <person> is there any way to add localdev to dapper, for thin clients
[02:54] <tony_00021> Ausicaemia, the format is compressed somehow.. maybe like a .cab file or something.
[02:54] <tony_00021> nick_, try k3b
[02:54] <mat1980> DanSmir123: you're wellcome!
[02:54] <Ausicaemia> Oh right.
[02:54] <nick_> k3b ok tony ty were i get it?
[02:54] <tony_00021> "apt-get install k3b" or via synaptic
[02:54] <aggiz> Anyone here have Beryl /pm plz :)
[02:55] <nick_> ok ty
[02:56] <nick_> how do u log in as root again>?
[02:56] <mat1980> !root
[02:56] <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

[03:02] <mat1980> RedPlantain: you will find it with mount
[03:03] <RedPlantain> wols_: I dunno, on OS X I'm used to it appearing under /Volumes/MyDisk, and applications can access it like any normal internal disk, but under Ubuntu, I can't find it
[03:03] <Ausicaemia> Anybody know if there is a way to hide all the icons on a GNOME desktop? So that only the wallpaper is howing?
[03:03] <RedPlantain> For example, I want bittornado to save to my SMB mountpoint, but I can't find where to set as a save location
[03:03] <oslo>  hi do u have an TI ACX 111 wifi chipset, & do u sucess to use WPA ??
[03:04] <wols_> RedPlantain: if you don't know what a phyiscal mountpoint is, why do you use the word then?
[03:04] <wols_> oslo: no
[03:04] <Hesham[A] > tony_00021: emmm xchat has lot of problems with me :/ .. actually mIRC is more configurable
[03:04] <oslo> :/
[03:04] <RedPlantain> wols_: It's what I've always called it under OS X, I was guessing the terminology would be the same across platforms
[03:05] <Hesham[A] > tony_00021: that mean i won't get help on that?
[03:05] <RedPlantain> and mount tells me nothing? It only shows physically attached disks

[03:09] <mat1980> DanSmir123: yes
[03:09] <Igr> How do i mount an ISO file??

[03:09] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[03:10] <Ausicaemia> ClamAV is the best to use.
[03:10] <tony_00021> nick_, yes i did that yesterday.. found it on the forum.. a script.. if you want i can find it again
[03:10] <pha|con> Igr: you tell it what files it is.  you type in the command line sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop filename.iso /mnt
[03:10] <cyberpunk69> is there anybody on right now in Brisbane Aus
[03:10] <Ausicaemia> You can find it on Synaptic.
[03:10] <Ireal> Ercle: you installed the restricted nvidia drivers ?
[03:10] <pha|con> Igr: filename.iso = whatever the file's name is
[03:10] <Hesham[A] > tony_00021: my problem with mIRC not with XChat
[03:10] <DanSmir123> Ausicaemia: there is any free antivirus for ubuntu?
[03:10] <Hesham[A] > anyway thanks guys for help
[03:10] <Ercle> Ireal: yeah
[03:10] <snipex> Ausicaemia are you sure ClamAV is good enough ?
[03:10] <Ausicaemia> DanSmir123, Everything is free for Ubuntu, dude.
[03:10] <nick_> ok ty tony yea i tried to install flash player but it was the 64 bit one
[03:10] <pha|con> danilos: you don't need and antivirus app for linux
[03:10] <nick_> wasnt
[03:10] <Igr> Phacon so i write filename.iso and replace that with the iso file name?
[03:10] <Ireal> Ercle: just open a terminal and type: sudo nvidia-settings
[03:10] <cyberpunk69> antivirus for Ubuntu use AVG
[03:10] <mat1980> Igr: we anwered you. However... sudo mount -o loop yourfile mountpoint
[03:10] <cyberpunk69> and it's free
[03:10] <Ausicaemia> snipex, ClamAV is plenty good enough.
[03:11] <pha|con> you just type your file's name instead of filename,iso
[03:11] <DanSmir123> Ok thanks.
[03:11] <Ercle> Ireal: kk. cheers :)
[03:11] <Ausicaemia> I prefer ClamAV over AVG any day.,

[03:20] <snipex> and it required me to install clamav too i think
[03:20] <IdleOne> clamtk is dependant of clamav it should bring it with
[03:20] <Menisk_> cylent77: Haven't had any experience. Good luck though.
[03:21] <mat1980> mneisen: yes, I do. oh... God. I've never thought about inodes!
[03:21] <snipex> ye idle
[03:21] <cyberpunk69> calling any Linux Ubuntu dudes in Brisbane
[03:21] <snipex> idle what ubuntu u hav ?
[03:21] <tony_00021> Hesham[A] , if it an issue w wine how about a forum/chat for wine, http://winehq.org/ or #Winehq on freenode
[03:21] <IdleOne> snipex, I run 7.04
[03:22] <snipex> aha
[03:22] <snipex> did u have dapper too ?
[03:22] <IdleOne> snipex, I did
[03:22] <cylent77> ok heres a dumb question; how do u find out what resolution you're running in? hehe
[03:22] <snipex> whats difference
[03:22] <henryb> tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME, but it shows the os and server type
[03:22] <cylent77> darn. i knew it. 1024x768!
[03:22] <pha|con> hehe.... sudo apt-get moo
[03:23] <Menisk_> cylent77: System > Preferences > Screen Res.
[03:23] <IdleOne> snipex, not much different really I just like to run latest version so I upgrade soon as the newest version is stable enough
[03:23] <xpoint> sudo apt-get install gentoo
[03:23] <xpoint> :)))
[03:23] <cylent77> ya
[03:23] <Menisk_> cylent77: Trying to get a higher res? What graphics card?
[03:23] <Hesham[A] > thank you tony_00021.. that's really great help for me
[03:23] <snipex> idle how old r u ?
[03:24] <pha|con> sudo aptitude -vvvvv moo is pretty nice too
[03:24] <cylent77> Menisk_:  its an nvidia 6600 card
[03:24] <tony_00021> Hesham[A] , afwan
[03:24] <snipex> windows sucks !!!!!
[03:24] <iFries> Is there anyone that knows the command to resize multiple images at once with imagemagic?
[03:24] <cylent77> Menisk_: I am actually using Linux MINT 3.0. ubuntu basically
[03:24] <cyberpunk69> windows really sucks
[03:24] <nick78> windows vista really sucks i love ubuntu
[03:25] <cylent77> no no. windows does not suck. VISTA =sucks= hehe
[03:25] <RedPlantain> su doesn't work under ubuntu does it?
[03:25] <Menisk_> cylent77: Just shove nvidia binary driver on.
[03:25] <snipex> i let windows running 1 afternoon and when i got back net wasnt workin
[03:25] <pha|con> that's not fair.  says windows sucks is like making fun of your mentally challenged cousin.
[03:25] <cyberpunk69> same as that
[03:25] <cylent77> Menisk_: Ya it has a nice utility to install the nvidia drivers but i gotta wait for the update manager to finish first
[03:25] <Nutubuntu> Hm ... would troubleshooting a pagefault (in Firefox) be worthwhile? or should I ignore it unless it keeps happening?
[03:25] <ubuntu-rocks> RedPlantain - use sudo or sudo -s
[03:25] <Menisk_> snipex: Computer are like air conditioners they're great until you open windows.
[03:25] <RedPlantain> okay
[03:25] <jaypro> how do i disable the totem movie player as default with vlc?
[03:26] <snipex> menisk im sure i wouldnt loose net with ubuntu
[03:26] <RedPlantain> Even with sudo -s I still get /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: line 102: 0-002e/pwm1_enable: Permission denied when I'm trying to run pwmconfig
[03:26] <nick78> lol menisk so true
[03:26] <cyberpunk69> can anybody put me in touch with Linux dudes in Brisbane
[03:26] <snipex> oh my fuck
[03:27] <snipex> clamav had some errors
[03:27] <PriceChild> !ohmy | snipex
[03:27] <ubotu> snipex: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:27] <pha|con> cyberpunk69:  google for a linux user group or LUG in your area
[03:27] <snipex> hm
[03:28] <cyberpunk69> cheers phal
[03:28] <snipex> ppl clamav had some errors so wht do i do now ?
[03:28] <snipex> what do i write in terminal ?
[03:28] <snipex> to start clamav
[03:28] <pha|con> snipex: if you're using linux you don't really need an AV
[03:28] <nick78> hey tony nsplugin wrapper script worked like a charm ty again
[03:28] <gordonjcp> 0ye
[03:28] <snipex> well thats a bit too l8
[03:28] <pha|con> snipex: as long as you're not logged in as root you should be fine
[03:28] <snipex> i did what i did
[03:29] <snipex> so how do i start clamav ?
[03:29] <DanSmir123> /quit: Later
[03:29] <gordonjcp> snipex: what are you using clamav for?  are you running a mail server?
[03:29] <snipex> no
[03:29] <snipex> im running a desktop
[03:29] <snipex> isnt clamav like kaspersky ?
[03:29] <gordonjcp> snipex: ok, so what's the virus scanner for?
[03:29] <gnomefreak> snipex: its in menu or run clamav in terminal should run it as well
[03:29] <snipex> i scan my comp with it
[03:29] <gnomefreak> snipex: its a virus scanner
[03:29] <gordonjcp> snipex: why?
[03:29] <snipex> well
[03:29] <snipex> to delete viruses
[03:29] <Menisk_> snipex: There are 40 or o viruses for linux, and you need to be a retard to get one.
[03:30] <gordonjcp> snipex: have you got viruses?
[03:30] <gnomefreak> snipex: there arnt really any to worry about
[03:30] <snipex> not now
[03:30] <snipex> but if i get them
[03:30] <Menisk_> snipex: You won't.
[03:30] <snipex> how r u sure ?
[03:30] <pha|con> snipex: chances are so close to zero that you'll get one that it may as well be zero
[03:30] <snipex> and if i do ?
[03:30] <gnomefreak> snipex: use menu item or trun from terminal
[03:30] <snipex> where from menu
[03:30] <gnomefreak> guys it doesnt matter why he wants it
[03:30] <gordonjcp> snipex: hang on, are you trying to scan your windows or linux drive for viruses?
[03:30] <snipex> hm
[03:31] <Menisk_> snipex: Linux is not like windows, it is secure. The only way you can get one is if you run a executable called "this is a virus" as root.
[03:31] <snipex> linux
[03:31] <gnomefreak> snipex: well that would depend on what desktop your using but under system i think
[03:31] <gordonjcp> snipex: waste of time then
[03:31] <snipex> im just trying to start clamav so im sure if it ll work later !!!
[03:31] <chadeldridg1> is there a channel for openoffice support ?
[03:31] <Ausicaemia> What's wrong with having it? Doesn't matter why.
[03:31] <gordonjcp> snipex: clamav is mostly for scanning mail for viruses so that Windows machines don't get infected
[03:31] <Gothfunc> i have ubuntu server 6.10.  i did sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop which went fine.  i reboot and X does not start.  i try 'startx' and there is no such command.  is that normal?
[03:31] <snipex> hey ppl
[03:31] <gordonjcp> Gothfunc: running X on a server is madness
[03:31] <snipex> i know what av is
[03:31] <snipex> just tell me command to start it
[03:31] <gnomefreak> Gothfunc: thats a fasle statement and remember it doesnt matter why he wants it
[03:32] <nick78> hey snipex
[03:32] <gnomefreak> snipex: i did already
[03:32] <Gothfunc> gordonjcp: why?
[03:32] <snipex> rly i didnt see
[03:32] <gordonjcp> snipex: sorry, I don't know what the command is.  I've never used a virus scanner.
[03:32] <Gothfunc> gnomefreak: did you mean to address gordonjcp?
[03:32] <gnomefreak> Gothfunc: yes sorry
[03:32] <Gothfunc> :)
[03:32] <snipex> what nick
[03:32] <chadeldridg1> !openoffice
[03:32] <ubotu> a free and open source office suite, including word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components.  To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". User help available in #users.openoffice.org
[03:32] <defrysk> snipex, its something like clamscan /path/to/somefolder iIrc
[03:32] <gordonjcp> Gothfunc: well, X is for desktoppy things
[03:32] <gordonjcp> mainly
[03:32] <gnomefreak> chadeldridg1: ask your question if someone knows they will answer you
[03:33] <Gothfunc> gordonjcp: and?
[03:33] <gnomefreak> snipex: are you on dapper edgy feisty?
[03:33] <snipex> dapper
[03:33] <snipex> LTS
[03:33] <gordonjcp> Gothfunc: it's not really necessary on a server
[03:33] <gnomefreak> snipex: gnome?
[03:33] <Ausicaemia> Anybody know if there is a way to hide all the icons on a GNOME desktop? So that only the wallpaper is showing?
[03:33] <snipex> yh
[03:33] <gnomefreak> snipex: log out and back in again
[03:33] <omha> hey i have a problem with my sound, first there is only sound in the headphones second is that i can hear the bing when ubuntu login screen comes op but my sound does not work when i try to play media for example xmms pops up saying "please check that: you sound card is configured properly You have...."
[03:33] <Gothfunc> gordonjcp: i want to configure ldap stuff via a gui
[03:33] <snipex> u mean restart ?
[03:33] <gnomefreak> snipex: should than be in menu
[03:34] <snipex> ok
[03:34] <BadRobot>  hi there how can i install Ubuntustudio via command line?
[03:34] <gnomefreak> snipex: no just log out
[03:34] <snipex> hoq do i do that
[03:34] <paradroid> Hi all. I just finished the dist-upgrade to 7.04 using the alternate CD. It all worked out fine, all settings seem to have been conserved, apps running, etc. BUT ;) I get a xsession error when I log in to my profile.
[03:34] <snipex> srry im new to linux i used windows 4 dys ago
[03:34] <gnomefreak> snipex: system>quit than log out
[03:34] <defrysk> Ausicaemia, easiest is to install gtweakui for tweaks like that
[03:34] <pike_> Ausicaemia: for in in `ls ~/Desktop`;do mv $i .$i; done maybe ;p
[03:34] <Gothfunc> anyway#
[03:34] <Ausicaemia> ThankyoU!
[03:34] <Ausicaemia> God, I've been asking for like an hour.
[03:34] <pike_> Ausicaemia: err..for i in
[03:34] <Gothfunc> why would install ubuntu-desktop not work?
[03:34] <paradroid> Despite that error I can use my system. If I log in using a guest account I have set up on my machine which has hardly any customisations I do NOT get the xsession error. Any ideas?
[03:34] <mat1980> Gothfunc: no, I think it's not normal. is xserver-xorg installed?
[03:34] <Ausicaemia> Thanks guys, haha.
[03:35] <pha|con> Gothfunc: if you want to admin a server via gui try webmin
[03:35] <pha|con> Gothfunc: low impact and you don't have to muck about with X
[03:35] <Bokeh> webmin :x
[03:35] <snipex> so
[03:35] <Vich> BadRobot -> how did you install it in the first place?
[03:35] <pha|con> heh
[03:36] <snipex> where do i find clamav now ?
[03:36] <Gothfunc> pha|con: the howtos i have found are not for webmin, they are for gnome
[03:36] <gnomefreak> snipex: now it should be in menu, i dont have it installed but should be there
[03:36] <snipex> what menu
[03:36] <pha|con> ahhh
[03:36] <Gothfunc> mat1980: looking
[03:36] <gnomefreak> snipex: applications than system tools i think
[03:36] <snipex> it aint
[03:36] <gnomefreak> snipex: just look through the menus
[03:36] <snipex> i did
[03:36] <omha> i get these errors http://pastebin.com/936746
[03:36] <Bassetts> is it possible to edit the Places menu
[03:36] <snipex> it aint there
[03:36] <snipex> did u see when i wrote
[03:36] <gnomefreak> snipex: did you since you logged back in?
[03:37] <snipex> that i got error
[03:37] <Gothfunc> mat1980: no it isn't.. heh
[03:37] <Bokeh> seriously, recommending webmin to people is like recommending a trolley to a paralized person... it works, but you don't really want to use it on a daily basis
[03:37] <gnomefreak> snipex: what error?
[03:37] <IdleOne> snipex, you might have to add it to the Applications menu but in the mean time you can type clamav in terminal to start it up
[03:37] <snipex> dunno
[03:37] <gnomefreak> snipex: how do you know you got an error than?
[03:37] <snipex> but it was error 4 sure
[03:37] <gnomefreak> snipex: what did it say?
[03:37] <Darii> hi, is there any way to disable these annoying WinXP-like balloon-tooltips at the system-tray?
[03:37] <snipex> applications could not be installed
[03:37] <snipex> hey i know what error is !!!!
[03:37] <Gothfunc> mat1980: installing now :)
[03:37] <mat1980> Gothfunc: well, I guess it's quite hard it could start. :)
[03:37] <gnomefreak> snipex: what did you do just before you got that?
[03:38] <Nutubuntu> Hm ... would troubleshooting a pagefault (in Firefox) be worthwhile? or should I ignore it unless it keeps happening?
[03:38] <snipex> chat here
[03:38] <Bassetts> is it possible to edit the Places menu
[03:38] <Gothfunc> mat1980: not sure why it wasn't installed as a dependancy
[03:38] <gnomefreak> snipex: are you sure you installed it?
[03:38] <snipex> yes
[03:38] <snipex> wait a lil ill check if it even got installed
[03:38] <gnomefreak> snipex: open a terminal and type clamav
[03:38] <jrib> Bassetts: you can add places if you create a bookmark in nautilus
[03:38] <snipex> i did
[03:38] <snipex> unknown command
[03:38] <quintessance> I just updated for the first time in months and, upon restarting my computer, I can't log in. Briefly cuts to a weird text interface then back to the log in screen. I think my disk space might be exhausted but can't use the "Failsafe" Terminal to remove anything
[03:38] <defrysk> snipex, type clamscan
[03:39] <gnomefreak> snipex: than i dont think its fully installed
[03:39] <quintessance> Any suggestions short of downloading the LiveCD?
[03:39] <Bassetts> jrib, ubuntu has added two folders to the places menu that i dont want there
[03:39] <jrib> Bassetts: which ones
[03:39] <snipex> clamscan works
[03:39] <mat1980> Gothfunc: don't forget to install xserver-xorg-video-xxx where xxx is the driver you need. If you don't know which, install xserver-xorg-video-all
[03:39] <defrysk> snipex, good
[03:39] <paradroid> Hi all. I just finished the dist-upgrade to 7.04 using the alternate CD. It all worked out fine, all settings seem to have been conserved, apps running, etc. BUT ;) I get a xsession error when I log in to my profile. Despite that error I can use my system. If I log in using a guest account I have set up on my machine which has hardly any customisations I do NOT get the xsession error. Any ideas? http://pastebin.com/936748
[03:39] <BadRobot> i haven't ,i want to install it?I've installed Ubuntu via cd Vich
[03:39] <Bassetts> Dowloads and Documents, jrib
[03:39] <gnomefreak> defrysk: cheater
[03:39] <snipex> ***  This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated.  ***
[03:39] <snipex> LibClamAV Warning: *** DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/faq.html ***
[03:39] <Gothfunc> mat1980: sure ok
[03:40] <defrysk> gnomefreak, ;p
[03:40] <snipex> version of clamav engine is outdated
[03:40] <cylent77> in xchat how do you reveal the user list mine is not appearing
[03:40] <gnomefreak> snipex: dont panic and read http://www.clamav.net/faq.html
[03:40] <snipex> lol
[03:40] <cylent77> oh nvm
[03:40] <Bassetts> jrib, Downloads was a bookmark, but Documents is fixed there
[03:41] <jrib> Bassetts: yeah someone asked this once.  It's an ubuntu (debian?) patch to nautilus.  The only way to make it not do that is either call the folder something other than "Documents" or to rebuild the package without the patch
[03:41] <snipex> im unninstalling it
[03:41] <gnomefreak> snipex: iirc we dont backport clamav so the version with dapper will stay that version if you want newer install feisty or compile it if you cant find someone that has already
[03:41] <mat1980> Gothfunc: oh.. you even need fonts. metapackage xorg could be easier to install. It will install everything you need, I believe.
[03:42] <Bassetts> jrib, ok, ill just make my folders lowercase, its the linux way anyway
[03:42] <clie5> hello
[03:42] <snipex> ppl
[03:42] <clie5> can you hear me, people?
[03:42] <snipex> u say there is no need for AV on linux ?
[03:42] <clie5> I can't eject my CD from the disc drive.
[03:43] <Gothfunc> mat1980: ok, thanks
[03:43] <paradroid> clie5: Are you trying to eject it by pressing the drive button?
[03:43] <quintessance> I just updated for the first time in months and, upon restarting my computer, I can't log in. Briefly cuts to a weird text interface then back to the log in screen. I think my disk space might be exhausted but can't use the "Failsafe" Terminal to remove anything. Any suggestions short of downloading the LiveCD?
[03:43] <paradroid> clie5: Or are you using the dialogue "Eject" via context-menu?
[03:43] <clie5> It says: "unmount: only bobby can unmount /dev/hda from /media/cdrom0. But the problem is that I've deleted the bobby user account already. oh no
[03:43] <mat1980> clie5: tried with sudo umount?
[03:44] <polyergic> How do I tell X-Chat where to store my logs?
[03:44] <clie5> mat1980, how exactly do i do that? what is the command?
[03:44] <defrysk> omg they killed bobby
[03:44] <IdleOne> snipex, it's not that there is no need it's just that 99%of viruses are written for windows and the few that are for linux you must be very very stupid to get
[03:44] <mike3_> omg they killed kenny!
[03:44] <paradroid> Oops
[03:44] <snipex> oh
[03:45] <snipex> extensions r different why didnt i remember it
[03:45] <mat1980> clie5: sudo umount mountpoint
[03:45] <snipex> any1 knows mp4 to mp3 converter ?
[03:45] <defrysk> sudo umount /media/cdrom0
[03:45] <snipex> or mp4 player ?
[03:45] <clie5> mat1980, thanks!
[03:46] <IdleOne> snipex, just practice common sense and dont download everything you see. if you didnt iniate the installation of an application then dont allow it. if you didnt innitiate the download then dont accep the file....
[03:46] <snipex> idle
[03:46] <snipex> althrough i dont know extensions exactly
[03:46] <snipex> what extension do pics have in linux ?
[03:46] <RedPlantain> whatever you give them
[03:47] <IdleOne> .jpeg .jpg .gif same as windows
[03:47] <snipex> oh
[03:47] <quintessance> How do you cut straight to the terminal before the log-in screen presents itself?
[03:47] <Vich> sorry BadRobot, I misread you
[03:47] <snipex> .exe is .deb ?
[03:47] <clie5> hello, does anyone have quick access to a windows (98/xp/wista) computer?
[03:47] <IdleOne> snipex, no
[03:47] <TehDarkLiquid> extensions are merely for file identification
[03:47] <Vich> ubuntu studio is a standalone version of ubuntu
[03:47] <snipex> aaaaw
[03:48] <clie5> I have a windows file that I need to extract from. if you can help, please let me know
[03:48] <Igr> How do i open .EXE files with UBUNTU
[03:48] <snipex> what extensions do viruses on linux have
[03:48] <snipex> igr u need emulator
[03:48] <Gothfunc> clie5: what file?
[03:48] <defrysk> snipex, .virus
[03:48] <Igr> Snipex: how do i get?
[03:48] <TehDarkLiquid> exe files are windows binaries
[03:48] <quintessance> Igr: Wine will sometimes work.
[03:48] <TehDarkLiquid> they aren
[03:48] <snipex> well
[03:48] <TehDarkLiquid> they aren't written to execute on a linux kernel
[03:48] <snipex> google win4lin
[03:48] <clie5> Gothfunc, it's a file for my PDA's keyboard.
[03:48] <TehDarkLiquid> you need WINE
[03:48] <Igr> How do i get WINE
[03:48] <clie5> Gothfunc, could you kindly help
[03:48] <Vich> BadRobot: not sure you can update your standard ubuntu to ubuntu studio, but you can certainly install all the packages it has
[03:48] <Gothfunc> clie5: what extension?
[03:48] <clie5> exe
[03:48] <snipex> defrysk i aint joking
[03:49] <Nutubuntu> Firefox seems very unstable. Pagefaults, crashes X ... what's up with that?
[03:49] <Gothfunc> clie5: wine, vmware, qemu, virtualbox?
[03:49] <defrysk> snipex, you will have to learn to forget the windows way in linux
[03:49] <Vich> BadRobot: perhaps you should ask in #ubuntustudio
[03:49] <snipex> defrysk !!!!
[03:49] <clie5> i'm really not familiar with any of those. I'm pretty fresh to ubuntu.
[03:49] <pha|con> Igr: sudo apt-get install wine
[03:49] <snipex> i am still learning
[03:49] <Gothfunc> clie5: www.virtualbox.com
[03:49] <Igr> ive done that
[03:49] <snipex> and i know quite alot for a 4 day ubuntu user !!!
[03:49] <Igr> what should i do now?
[03:49] <quintessance> How do I get to terminal if "Failsafe Terminal" doesn't work on log-in screen?
[03:49] <Gothfunc> oops
[03:49] <defrysk> snipex, lesson one : forget windows thoughts and ways
[03:49] <Gothfunc> clie5: www.virtualbox.org
[03:49] <Gothfunc> ignore first url
[03:50] <snipex> defrysk : what extensions can contain virus ?
[03:50] <pha|con> Igr: after it's installed you run the .exe file from the command line....  wine filename.exe
[03:50] <Gothfunc> clie5: you can install windows on that
[03:50] <defrysk> snipex, I have no idea,
[03:50] <Gothfunc> clie5: and it'll run within your ubuntu installation
[03:50] <Igr> Its more program working for windows than linux
[03:50] <clie5> Gothfunc, i don't want to install window-
[03:50] <supremesonic> snipex, lesson 2, be happy with your os. And let it be happy with you.
[03:50] <clie5> Gothfunc, i just want to extract a file from this file
[03:50] <Gothfunc> clie5: i believe it's in the ubuntu repositories
[03:50] <pha|con> snipex: it doesn't have to have an extension
[03:50] <IdleOne> snipex, here the thing there is no Windows = Linux way of doing things. Windows does it's thing in it's own way and Linux does it in a completly different way so trying to match things up like saying this in windows = this in linux is not going to help you
[03:50] <snipex> aaaargh
[03:51] <pha|con> snipex: in linux files don't have to have extensions to be executed
[03:51] <quintessance> IdleOne: Although there is much overlap
[03:51] <mat1980> snipex: don't rely on extensions.
[03:51] <clie5> i would prefer not to install any virtual stuff.
[03:51] <Vich> defrysk: how to access msdos in ubuntu?
[03:51] <snipex> so
[03:51] <Gothfunc> clie5: you will probably need windows again, might as well have it available
[03:51] <Igr> Why is it more computers using Windows than Linux?
[03:51] <snipex> i can get virus from every file then
[03:51] <Vich> defrysk: and where the hell is internet explorer
[03:51] <snipex> because bill gates is evil
[03:51] <kel39ru> hey, guys, does it matter where the swap partition is on, primary or logical?:)
[03:51] <supremesonic> gothfunc, for what?
[03:51] <pha|con> Igr: because windows comes pre-installed on most computers.
[03:51] <Igr> yes
[03:51] <Igr> but
[03:51] <mike3_> Igr, Why would you asked something like that. ;)
[03:51] <quintessance> Can anyone read what I'm typing?
[03:51] <Nutubuntu> quintessance, yes
[03:51] <IdleOne> quintessance, there is but better to forget what you know about windows and learn the linux way then go back to what you remeber in windows
[03:51] <Vich> Igr: pre-built computers, tradition, software/hardware compatability
[03:51] <Igr> why is it more programs to windows
[03:51] <mike3_> quintessance, of course
[03:51] <mat1980> snipex: Bill Gates is not evil, but yes you can get viruses with all files.
[03:52] <pha|con> Igr: because more people have windows
[03:52] <clie5> is there anybody here who either has quick access to windows or virtualbox/wine (as Gothfunc says)?
[03:52] <snipex> because it is more widely used
[03:52] <snipex> mat
[03:52] <Igr> ...
[03:52] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: mostly contextual things
[03:52] <Vich> Bill Gates is actually a philanthropist
[03:52] <snipex> microsucks
[03:52] <pha|con> Igr: basically it's a case of where the money is
[03:52] <snipex> is web
[03:52] <Igr> Daemon tools doesnt work for linux.
[03:52] <snipex> and
[03:52] <snipex> check it
[03:52] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: like for graphic designers, it's adobe photoshop
[03:52] <pha|con> Igr: you don't need daemon tools for linux
[03:52] <cbo78> hi, is anybody having problem with syslog not logging remote message?
[03:52] <Igr> lol u dont?
[03:52] <ZeZu> this #windowsbashing ?
[03:52] <quintessance> Cool. So how can I get to the terminal if "failsafe terminal" isn't working and I can't log in. Can I press a key on startup to go straight to terminal?
[03:52] <supremesonic> gothfunc, I never use windows anymore. I use wine for some stuff yes but what I can't use I wont use.
[03:52] <Gothfunc> Igr: linux doesn't need daemon tools? :P
[03:52] <Igr> :P
[03:52] <Igr> ok
[03:52] <Vich> no ZeZu!
[03:52] <Igr> nice
[03:52] <richee> !bluetooth
[03:52] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[03:52] <defrysk> Vich, he is only to get tax returned
[03:52] <quintessance> I just need to clear some diskspace to be able to log-in again
[03:52] <IdleOne> !enter | Igr
[03:52] <ubotu> Igr: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:52] <snipex> ah
[03:52] <pha|con> Igr: no, if you want to mount an iso just type sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop filename.iso /mnt in the command line
[03:52] <snipex> forget microsucks
[03:53] <Igr> okok
[03:53] <Vich> lol defrysk
[03:53] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: for some people it's impossible to not use windows for SOME things
[03:53] <supremesonic> gothfunc, if it don't follow a little *nix standard I simple want use it.
[03:53] <pha|con> Igr: if it's not an .iso you can convert it to one with any number of programs
[03:53] <clie5> is anybody here currently on windows?
[03:53] <jrib> snipex and others: please move the windows vs. linux talk to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:53] <defrysk> Vich, not lol , its a businessmodel
[03:53] <Igr> yes but in the iso file it is .EXE fiels.
[03:53] <kel39ru> so, can anyone tell me plz is it no difference where the swap is on, primary or logical partition? -.-
[03:53] <Igr> files
[03:53] <clie5> Is anybody here currently using virtualbox or wine, etc?
[03:53] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: such as the graphic designer example
[03:53] <rsl> Howdy, kittens.
[03:53] <jrib> !anybody | clie5
[03:53] <quintessance> clie5: I'm on a friend's Windows machine to sort out my Ubuntu machine.
[03:53] <Music_Shuffle> clie5, ##winehq?
[03:53] <pha|con> Igr: then you run the .exe file with wine
[03:53] <Igr> ok
[03:53] <Igr> ill test
[03:53] <supremesonic> gothfunc, aDOPE photoshop? hmm what about gimp. Might not be as good as aDOPE photoshop but it is almost. And its improving fastly.
[03:53] <ubotu> clie5: 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?
[03:53] <rsl> What's the eclipse-platform [not eclipse itself]  in Synaptic?
[03:53] <pha|con> Igr: but you have to check the the compatibilty list to see if it will even run.
[03:53] <clie5> quintessance, could you help with a quick thing?
[03:54] <Vich> defrysk, you have to ask yourself whether it is better Bill Gates donate money to charities or avoid tax another way
[03:54] <Nutubuntu> t/y jrib
[03:54] <adrian_> hi
[03:54] <quintessance> Ask away
[03:54] <Vich> I mean, he could just pay taxes with the money saved from charities
[03:54] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: it's SIGNIFICANTLY worse than adobe ps
[03:54] <mat1980> snipex: however extensions in Linux doesn't mean anything. Usually programs doesn't care about extension, they use other approach to find the type of a file.
[03:54] <IdleOne> !offtopic | Vich
[03:54] <ubotu> Vich: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:54] <adrian_> may i ask a question?
[03:54] <snipex> mat come to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:54] <IdleOne> adrian_, ask
[03:54] <Nutubuntu> !ask |adrian
[03:54] <ubotu> adrian: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:54] <Igr> How did u say that i should write?
[03:55] <Vich> huh?
[03:55] <pha|con> snipex: usually programs in linux check the file's header to see if it's a compatible file-type
[03:55] <Vich> what was that?
[03:55] <supremesonic> gothfunc, nope its not,
[03:55] <defrysk> Vich, his institute gives a dime to receive a dollar
[03:55] <Igr> wine run  thefile.exe?
[03:55] <clie5> quintessance, i need to get a file for my pda, but the CD that came with it has only an exe file. i think that if we ran it on windows, we can extract a prc file that i can install in linux. can you check it out?
[03:55] <adrian_> do you know of any good windows emulators to use when playing poker online?
[03:55] <jrib> Vich: because it is so busy, this channel is only for ubuntu support, you can discuss other things in #ubuntu-offtopic.  Thanks
[03:55] <pha|con> Igr: in command line type wine filename.exe
[03:55] <rsl> Anyone here ever install eclipse-platform?
[03:55] <cbo78>  hi, is anybody having problems with syslog not logging remote message?
[03:55] <Gothfunc> adrian_: best is to get a dedicated poker machine with windows xp on it.  pokertracker and such don't run well on virtualisations
[03:55] <Vich> jrib, where others removed for contributing to that conversation?
[03:55] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: there's another example
[03:56] <Frogzoo> cbo78: you need to log @ the priority
[03:56] <Igr> how do i get WINE?
[03:56] <quintessance> Could you upload the exe to a one-click uploaded?
[03:56] <Frogzoo> !wine
[03:56] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:56] <adrian_> crap
[03:56] <quintessance> *uploader
[03:56] <Vich> Igr -> apt-get ?
[03:56] <pha|con> Igr: i already told you.... sudo apt-get install wine
[03:56] <Igr> ok
[03:56] <supremesonic> gothfunc, yes?
[03:56] <Frogzoo> Igr: don't use the ubuntu wine repo which is dated, use the budgetdedicated repo mentioned in the ubuntu wiki doc
[03:56] <ZeroA4> Gothfunc, are not you just lost in Gimp cos the diferent names ands menus ?
[03:56] <cbo78> my router sends log via UDP to my ubuntu machine
[03:56] <Vich> pha|con -> is there an alternative to daemon tools in ubuntu?
[03:56] <Igr>  /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic_2.6.20-16.29_i386.deb
[03:56] <Igr> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[03:56] <Gothfunc> adrian_: alternatively, you can run pokertracker on linux if you google, but you are limited to pokerrooms that work on wine then
[03:56] <pha|con> Vich: not that i know of, but i've never had a need for one, so there may be.
[03:56] <bronze> !fonts
[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] <Gothfunc> ZeroA4: i'm sure
[03:57] <mat1980> clie5: try to attach the pda to te pc. If it uses the usb mass storage standard there is no need to install anything. In any case I guess that exe is useless in Linux.
[03:57] <morpheus> anybody know any warehouse apps for linux/php, I've scoured sourceforge but nothing there that fits the bill
[03:57] <supremesonic> gothfunc, there is almost always alternatives to windows/mac programs for linux. But not always.
[03:57] <cbo78> I changed the syslog.conf
[03:57] <cbo78> local7.*			/var/log/routerlinksys7.log
[03:57] <adrian_> ok
[03:57] <Igr> It doesnt work,.
[03:57] <Vich> pha|con, I tend to dump cds to images and burn them later
[03:57] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: i know, and i'm very appreciative of this fact.  yet gimp doesn't even come close to adobe products like ps and illustrator
[03:57] <ZeroA4> Gothfunc, there is an mod for Gimp. that changes layout and names of menu to the same of PS...
[03:57] <clie5> mat1980, the exe file is not for desktop software.
[03:57] <quintessance> clie5: Once you've done that, message me the URL.
[03:57] <Vich> and rather than burn a disc, sometimes I would like to browse it
[03:58] <cbo78> and sysklogd
[03:58] <cbo78> SYSLOGD="-u syslog -r"
[03:58] <pha|con> Vich: if you save them as .iso then you don't need anything like daemon tools.  linux can mount .iso natively
[03:58] <adrian_> one more question, if you dont mind?
[03:58] <clie5> quintessance, message you the file?
[03:58] <Gothfunc> adrian_: just ask
[03:58] <mat1980> clie5: can't understand what you mean.
[03:58] <supremesonic> gothfunc, Im sure you can do the 99.99% of the same in gimp as you can in adobe ps, however I don't know about illustrator I have never used it.
[03:58] <Vich> cool pha|con, thanks
[03:58] <clie5> quintessance, ok. pls hold on
[03:58] <quintessance> Upload it to a one-click uploader? Can you transfer files on FreeNode?
[03:58] <clie5> quintessance, i'll find a place to upload.
[03:58] <kane77> Vich, and if you have .bin or something else there are little programs to convert them...
[03:58] <clie5> quintessance, no
[03:58] <quintessance> Ok
[03:59] <Vich> inkscape > illustrator
[03:59] <kane77> Vich, look for bin2iso
[03:59] <pha|con> Vich: yeah, like kane77 says.  i believe there's bin2iso and nrg2iso, etc
[03:59] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: i have encountered things that can't be done in gimp that can in ps.  i also have encountered things that are done differently.  so sure, for an amateur designer this is fine, but when you need the industry standard, it's not
[03:59] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: i wish adobe would release products for linux tbh
[03:59] <Vich> kane77, pha|con -> that's awesome, because I have multiple image formats
[03:59] <Frogzoo> Gothfunc: all a matter of time
[03:59] <Vich> thanks kane77 and once again pha|con
[04:00] <adrian_> i am used to red hat on my school, and there the window you are in is the one where the mouse are, but ubuntu seems to be set like windows, the active window is the top one, do you know how i set it to work the same way as red hat?
[04:00] <Gothfunc> Frogzoo :)
[04:00] <Igr> I cant install WINE :(
[04:00] <gdi2k> I'm implementing some disk usage quotas for some users. However, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to have the server notify the users when they're approaching or exceeding their limits. anyone got a clue?
[04:00] <Igr> doesnt work
[04:00] <pha|con> Vich: just search in synaptic for whatever types you need to convert
[04:00] <Frogzoo> Igr: sure you can
[04:00] <Igr> How?
[04:00] <jrib> adrian_: system -> preferences -> windows
[04:00] <quintessance> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/35217 - this is my problem, except I can't use the failsafe terminal. Any suggestions?
[04:00] <Igr> doesnt work
[04:00] <dr_willis> adrian_,  you mean 'activate window on mouse over'
[04:00] <chadeldridge> I know this should go to #beryl but there is no one alive in that channel so I ask here.   When i lock my machine with Beryl on the screensaver usually locks up and i have to reboot my machine ... any options to fix it ?
[04:00] <misty> hi, please help this ubuntu / deb newbie.  I can't find the appropriate package for cups!  Is it cupsys?  That wants to install x11

[04:00] <Vich> Gothfunc -> I have to agree about photoshop, but I've found Inkscape suitable for all type of vector-based art
[04:00] <IdleOne> chadeldridge, #ubuntu-effects
[04:01] <Vich> there is only so much functionality you need with a drawing program
[04:01] <adrian_> nice thanks
[04:01] <Gothfunc> Vich: interesting, never heard of it, i'll try that :)
[04:01] <supremesonic> gothfunc, im sure that there are extensions for gimp to do the things you can do in ps. However I wish more professionel developers would release games and programs under linux aswell. When that starting to happen people see no reason why to use linux over windows.
[04:01] <Otacon22> how can i see by shell the process that consume the most part of the cpu without using top?
[04:01] <clie5> quintessance, i've uploaded it. pls go to http://files-upload.com/325257/StowawayPalmv16.exe.html
[04:01] <pha|con> Vich: debends on the application (of the final product, not the actual saftware)  if you're doing print quality stuff you need a high powered app
[04:01] <gdi2k> misty: it's cupsys
[04:01] <Nutubuntu> Could the OT stuff go to ubuntu-offtopic please
[04:01] <chadeldridge> Ill try that chanel ...
[04:02] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: yes, i can mess about with extensions and i MIGHT get gimp to work ALMOST like ps, but i could just install ps and save myself a lot of effort
[04:02] <Nutubuntu> Could the OT stuff go to ubuntu-offtopic please
[04:02] <misty> Is there a way to make it not install the X stuff?
[04:02] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: and have it perfect
[04:02] <supremesonic> gothfunc, :)
[04:02] <Vich> misty -> yes
[04:02] <nivekc1> anyone know where i can get intel 845 drivers for vista?
[04:02] <misty> Vich: how? :)
[04:03] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: as Frogzoo implies though, perhaps adobe can't ignore linux for much longer
[04:03] <Igr> !wine
[04:03] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:03] <supremesonic> gothfunc. It would't be too hard for adobe to make *nix version of their programs, but they simply wont bother because for now it can't pay of.
[04:03] <supremesonic> gothfunc, yep :) for now as I said :p
[04:03] <jrib> nivekc1: ask in ##windows
[04:04] <Vich> misty -> that's called a bare-bones setup if you want to google it. I found this guide: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal
[04:04] <gdi2k> misty: I don't think those bits of X are a problem - I don't think it's the entire xorg package
[04:04] <quintessance> Is there a keyboard shortcut to exit X Windows and cut to terminal?
[04:04] <Gothfunc> :)
[04:04] <misty> gdi2k: ok, I just didn't think ubuntu-server used x at all
[04:04] <quintessance> Found it! Ctrl + Alt + F1
[04:04] <nivekc1> ok, man i hate vista!! lol if it wasnt for my customers i would never use it again!
[04:04] <pha|con> supremesonic: that's part of the problem, i think.  some ppl won't use linux because X company won't make product for linux, and X company won't make the product cause there aren't enough ppl using linux
[04:04] <pppoe_dude> hi i cant seem to connect my pda (sony clie) to gnome-pilot or jpilot, for some reason (i used to do this ok in edgy, but not in feisty now)
[04:04] <supremesonic> gothfunc, http://www.jmonkeyengine.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=93&Itemid=1
[04:04] <pha|con> vicious cycle
[04:04] <chadeldridge> quintessance:  that doesnt actually close X though ... just drops you to a shell
[04:04] <ZeroA4> quintessance, CTRL+ALT+Fx where X = 1-6 - F7 return to X
[04:04] <pppoe_dude> any ideas? dmesg recognises a device
[04:05] <gdi2k> misty: take a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-14346.html
[04:05] <Vich> nivekc1 -> that's the other reason linux isn't adopted in the real world: business applications
[04:05] <quintessance> Ah, OK!
[04:05] <misty> gdi2k: thanks, I will look
[04:05] <supremesonic> pha|con, yep, but as soon as some people start doing it. Other people will do it to for not lose the market.
[04:05] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: cute.  i'll give it a go
[04:05] <Vich> too many businesses run off msoffice, so that windows, windows server, etc follow
[04:05] <quintessance> All I need is the shell to free up some space.
[04:05] <ZeroA4> quintessance, to really close X - Ctrl+Alt+Backspace... But GDM runnig as servie will restart X
[04:05] <quintessance> Yeah - htat was the problem
[04:06] <quintessance> Was a GDM bug when no disk space left (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/35217)
[04:06] <quintessance> clie5: I'm sorting that out for you now
[04:06] <pha|con> Vich: a lot of companies run linux on the backend.  i work for the city of NY and even though all of our workstations are MS most of the server base is *nix
[04:06] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: i may even develop a game with that engine :)
[04:06] <supremesonic> gothfunc, it was just to show that some companies are starting to develop in multiplatform languages like java. Or c++ with libraries there only are multiplatform. And/or they might even make their own libraries
[04:07] <Prez_> hello...
[04:07] <misty> well, my test install of ubuntu on vmware worked flawlessly.  I was able to find and install every app that my server currently runs, without any issue at all.  It took me less than an hour actually.  :)  So I will definitely be updating all my servers from suse to ubuntu in the very near future :)
[04:07] <supremesonic> gothfunc, its a very nice engine. If I remember its under BSD licenses.
[04:07] <pha|con> Vich: all of our VM servers are linux and any VoIP stuff we have is on linux & asterisk
[04:07] <Prez_> quick question.. is there a way I can view a wep key from my keyring?
[04:07] <clie5> quintessance, ok. thanks. i'll wait
[04:07] <Vich> that is cool pha|con
[04:07] <WeeJeWel> What app can open CAB files?
[04:07] <misty> cabextract
[04:07] <defrysk> WeeJeWel, cabextract
[04:07] <quintessance> clie5: The exe was a self-extracting archive, but it contains a Windows installer. You need to connect your PDA to a Windows machine to install it, I think!
[04:07] <WeeJeWel> thx
[04:08] <adrian_> thanks gothfunc pokerstars is working now
[04:08] <Vich> I develop web apps, and while we support php and jsp just about every customer asks for aspx
[04:08] <quintessance> PDAs really don't work very well with Linux - I've never been able to Hotsync or anything
[04:08] <Felarin> WeeJeWel: from what i remember, 7zip should be able to let you see the contents of a cabinet file
[04:08] <supremesonic> gothfunc, its build upon LWJGL. Means that anything opengl can, it can. And if it can't do that you can just edit the source. Its better for companies to use that kinda things because its a fully featured engine, however if theres something they don't like they can just edit it. Saves resources.
[04:08] <pha|con> Vich:  customers often do not know what they want
[04:08] <Gothfunc> adrian_: in what?
[04:08] <Nutubuntu> In a new installation of Feisty, Firefox 2 is constantly crashing. Sometiimes it takes X with it. Sometimes it pagefaults. How would I troubleshoot this?
[04:08] <adrian_> wine
[04:08] <misty> now I'm gonig to install ubuntu client under vmware :)
[04:09] <pha|con> Vich: they have "kind of an idea about what they might like it to look like and how it should function"
[04:09] <misty> s/client/desktop
[04:09] <quintessance> clie5: Just for the sake of clarity, the archive contained Setup.exe, README, Software License Agreement.pdf, Software License Agreement.txt
[04:09] <quintessance> Sorry I can't be of any more help.
[04:09] <Vich> pha|con: well, I think it has a lot to do with databases
[04:09] <Gothfunc> adrian_: yeah stars, pokerroom and i believe fulltiltpoker work on linux
[04:09] <misty> quintessance: did you try cabextract on the setup.exe?
[04:09] <Vich> pha|con: they consider oracle and mssql the only options
[04:09] <Gothfunc> dunno about the others
[04:09] <misty> he should contact the developer to get the prc and pdb files, that is silly
[04:09] <Vich> pha|con: and mssql has the lowest cost of total ownership
[04:09] <adrian_> but not party?
[04:09] <pha|con> Vich: that's when you give them a short lesson on OSS options
[04:09] <jrib> pha|con, Vich: please move the conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:10] <adrian_> partypoker*
[04:10] <supremesonic> gothfunc, if you are up to it I would gladly join you in making a game with jME
[04:10] <Nutubuntu> I wish I could get /ignore working in Xchat. I miss it.
[04:10] <Vich> lol
[04:10] <Nutubuntu> t/y jrib
[04:10] <Vich> it's too easy to go off-topic
[04:10] <ulaas> hey, is there a way to dump only a specified folder within a repo?
[04:10] <quintessance> misty: I'll give it a try
[04:10] <jrib> I'm just going to ban next time
[04:10] <Gothfunc> adrian_: i don't think so.  it's either party or ftp that doesn't
[04:10] <Vich> so many like-minded people here
[04:10] <pha|con> jrib: sorry....going there now
[04:10] <adrian_> ok thanks
[04:10] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: private :)
[04:10] <supremesonic|afk> brb
[04:10] <adrian_> will stop by when i need more help :)
[04:10] <quintessance> clie5: Was it a HDR file, you were looking for?
[04:10] <misty> for the record every time I've come here and asked an ubuntu-related question, I've gotten a high-quality answer in less than a minute :)
[04:11] <phanter> hi there. How do I find on which /dev/something my external hard disk is matched?
[04:11] <misty> phanter: dmesg
[04:11] <Nutubuntu> I'm getting pretty annoyed, to be blunt. This is the only place I know for Ubuntu support (my ignorance maybe) and to see it gummed up with thousands of words about bill gates is eeevul or similar religious warfare is really disappointing.
[04:11] <misty> phanter: when you plugged in the usb hd, it would have told you.  Probably sd something
[04:11] <jrib> !support > Nutubuntu (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:12] <Nutubuntu> t/y jrib
[04:12] <quintessance> Nutubuntu: If you're not being helped with your problem, it's likely that no-one who's reading the channel knows the answer
[04:12] <Nutubuntu> quintessance, I realize that. It's also possible no one *sees* it in the traffic. So keeping the traffic on-topic is kind of important.
[04:13] <misty> Nutubuntu: I did not see your question.  Can you re-post if you still don't have teh answer?  I'm new to ubuntu but know quite a lot about linux in general.
[04:13] <Nutubuntu> Well, in a new installation of Feisty, Firefox 2 is constantly crashing. Sometiimes it takes X with it. Sometimes it pagefaults. How would I troubleshoot this?
[04:13] <user___> \
[04:13] <quintessance> Most people's problems seem to be getting answered. Mine wasn't and I repeated it a few times because I guess no one knew the answer. When I investigated more and came up with a more specific question to ask, several people answered.
[04:14] <clie5> quintessance, no. i was looking for a PRC file, please
[04:14] <misty> Nutubuntu: run firefox from the command-line
[04:14] <Otacon22> how can i see by shell the process that consume the most part of the cpu without using top?
[04:14] <clie5> quintessance, perhaps you're right.
[04:14] <misty> at least that way you have a chance of seeing the error message as it crashes
[04:14] <clie5> quintessance, perhaps i need to connect my pda to a windows computer.
[04:14] <Frogzoo> Nutubuntu: you could run memtest for 10 mins
[04:14] <misty> you can also run it with truss, and put the output in a file
[04:15] <misty> if it's always FF crashing it's highly unlikely to be a mem issue, just my opinion
[04:15] <user___> Hello, I have a problem: if I connect to samba using nautilus; the modified time of the file copied to samba is the current time; if I copy a file from windows; it's the modified time stays the same. I asked in the #samba channel, and I was told that this was a client-related issue
[04:15] <quintessance> clie5: When I ran setup.exe said you needed a desktop application already installed. When I extracted it contained 2 unextractable archives, HDR file, EX_file, BIN file, INX file and nother Setup.exe file
[04:15] <user___> So is there something wrong with nautilus?
[04:15] <Nutubuntu> misty, t/y - IDK truss, but will find out about it ... Frogzoo, I ran memtest for a day before installing, I think the RAM is fine
[04:16] <phanter> I did dmesg, it tells me that it sees the drive, but how do I know which link in /dev/ to use ?
[04:16] <misty> it's strace
[04:16] <misty> I had a flashback to solaris
[04:16] <miramana> Nutubuntu, ff is known to crash on bad far-asian pages, try adding fonts
[04:16] <misty> Nutubuntu: I p/m'd you
[04:17] <Nutubuntu> miramana, t/y ... the pages were unlikely to have any asian fonts though
[04:17] <Nutubuntu> misty, t/y, got it
[04:17] <phanter> it said: usb 5-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
[04:17] <phanter> and more of course :)
[04:17] <Yoriel> hi
[04:18] <quintessance> I like it when I have problems with my system, I learn so much about Linux.
[04:18] <mike3_> Whoa
[04:18] <Yoriel> how i can be a rt73 ready to work
[04:18] <mike3_> quintessance, :)
[04:18] <Yoriel> in ubuntu
[04:18] <Nutubuntu> quintessance, I agree ... up to a point ... :)
[04:18] <mike3_> quintessance, You want problems. :) rm -rf /etc/rc*
[04:18] <mike3_> :)
[04:18] <quintessance> Hehe - it's frustrating too. Especially when I had a problem during exams
[04:18] <Yoriel> i install the rt73 module following a n ubuntu forum
[04:18] <quintessance> Hah
[04:19] <mike3_> You'll have a problem then. :0
[04:20] <durab> Hi I have a wg111v2 usb wireless dongle and I am trying to get it working
[04:20] <durab> there is a lot of conflicting info on forums etc
[04:20] <Nutubuntu> Question about dump / restore - the description says for ext2 fs - does that include ext3 fs (which are ext2 + journaling, if I understood correctly)?
[04:20] <durab> it seems feisty should support it, and wpa out of the box?
[04:20] <misty> yes ext3 is ext2 with journalling
[04:20] <misty> Nutubuntu: I've asked you some questions in p/m
[04:20] <mik3> anyone know how to force telnet to use a proxy server?
[04:21] <WeeJeWel> mik3, use Putty
[04:21] <Nutubuntu> Sorry, misty, I caught up with them a second ago though
[04:21] <mik3> WeeJeWel: no
[04:21] <mik3> anyone know how to force telnet to use a proxy server via iptables
[04:21] <tuna-fish> I want to reformat a partition. However, the second I unmount it, it remounts to /media/disk. How Can I make the computer stop doing that?
[04:22] <tuna-fish> there is no fstab entry for it
[04:22] <misty> ack
[04:22] <misty> I guess he crashed it again
[04:22] <phanter> So I am trying to find where my external hard drive can be found, in which link in /dev/.... I did dmesg, but I am not sure where to find that "mount point"
[04:23] <Andeh> Hey
[04:23] <Rprp>   ChanServ Duiv` GameServ Global MemoServ NickServ OperServ QIB Quis|afk Rprp Tim
[04:23] <Andeh> Is it possible to access my windows registry from ubuntu?
[04:23] <quintessance> How do I check out my harddisk stats in the terminal? Just use a partitioning program?
[04:23] <mik3> phanter: does dmesg show your external drive?
[04:23] <Andeh> Cause i need to copy my macromedia settings into the wine registry, and if possible i'd like to do it without rebooting into windows (that literally takes 20 minutes to boot!!)
[04:23] <Nutubuntu> back ... sorry ... I was trying a google search to find out about strace -- in Firefox, and of course it crashed X ... :\
[04:23] <misty> phanter: do dmesg | grep sd
[04:23] <mik3> quintessance : stats? as in storage space etc?
[04:23] <quintessance> yeah
[04:24] <mik3> quintessance : df -h
[04:24] <DanSmir123> Hello all
[04:24] <quintessance> Thank you
[04:25] <mik3> anyone here semi mediocre with iptables? i need to make telnet route through a proxy
[04:25] <DanSmir123> is it possible to view wmv files in firefox?
[04:25] <Andeh> Is it possible to access the Windows Registry from ubuntu?
[04:25] <Andeh> I need to copy my Macromedia settings for Flash to work in wine, and if possible, do this without rebooting.
[04:25] <Andeh> Can I?
[04:25] <phanter> misty:  I think it sees it, but I cannot mount it or something
[04:25] <Andeh> DanSmir123: I think you can do that with MPlayer
[04:25] <mik3> Andeh: probably not
[04:26] <Andeh> mik3: Oh. Then I need to reboot into windows and export the REG file, then import it in wine. Yay :(
[04:26] <mik3> Andeh: at least you're losing the leash microsoft has on you?
[04:26] <durab> "The forums are currently offline while we add a few new features :) ooohh how exciting!"
[04:26] <durab> does anyone know how to use ndiswrapper to get a usb wireless dongle working?
[04:26] <leo|term> i am trying to install a samba (domain controller) server on a small network, i am following this guide (got link if you want), and all seems fine until i try to log on with a windows computer, any ideas what might be wrong?
[04:26] <Nutubuntu> misty, I pm'd you regarding strace
[04:27] <misty> Nutubuntu: I didn't see that, please send it again
[04:27] <misty> phanter: please pastebin the output you got from dmesg, and any error message you get when tryign to mount.  http://rafb.net/paste is a good place to do that
[04:27] <mik3> durab : dongle? who makes it?
[04:27] <mcp_> Does ubuntu have an easy to use file-compare-program? Something like windiff in windows.
[04:27] <durab> netgear wg111v2
[04:27] <mik3> so broadcom eh?
[04:27] <Nutubuntu> misty, re-sent
[04:27] <mik3> durab : did you check ndiswrapper's site?
[04:28] <IdleOne> !register | Nutubuntu
[04:28] <ubotu> Nutubuntu: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[04:28] <misty> Nutubuntu: I totally did not get it
[04:28] <misty> lol
[04:28] <kitche> mcp_: probably diff since that's what windiff is based on
[04:28] <misty> Nutubuntu: I'm hoping you did not typo my nick ;)
[04:28] <durab> there is a tantalizing link to a forum post that supposedly solves it, but the forums are down. I will look at the site, I just wanted to know if feisty supported it out of the box as I have read
[04:28] <IdleOne> Nutubuntu, you need to register to be able to send priv msg
[04:28] <Nutubuntu> Ohhhh ... I get it, I can't PM if not reg.  :)
[04:28] <misty> ahh, yeah
[04:28] <mcp_> but diff is command line only. I want something easy (read GUI)
[04:29] <mik3> durab: i would assume it would since it's one of the common chipsets
[04:29] <phanter> I tried the dmesg thing, but I cannot find my external drive. I think it tells me to look for sda, but there is no sda in /ded/.
[04:29] <misty> mcp: kdiff
[04:29] <mik3> phanter: paste your dmesg output into a pastebin
[04:29] <jrib> mcp_: try meld
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> Okay, what I asked was, I'd use alt-ctl-f1 to get to a non-x terminal, 'strace firefox', alt-ctl-f7 (?) to come back to x, then stress firefox by ... I dunno, running a search in google? that's what crashed it last time ;p ... and then look at the trace? something like that?
[04:29] <omglazers> Can anyone suggest a linux program for converting music files like flac -> mp3?
[04:29] <Ercle> I have just set up two monitors, and i would like to run each as a different 'desktop cube' with Beryl but setting MultiMonitor Mode to Multiple cubes doesn't do anything. Can anyone suggest what i may be doing wrong?
[04:30] <kitche> Nutubuntu: umm use a terminal for strace so open terminal and type strance firefox
[04:30] <mik3> omglazers: soundconverter
[04:30] <durab> mik3: where do I start? if I got to sys->admin->network there is a device there but I am unable to select wpa
[04:30] <omglazers> mik3, I was just about to install that but I didnt know if there's a catchall that lots of nux users have
[04:30] <Nutubuntu> kitche ... when x crashes my term crashes with it ... would that make a difference?
[04:31] <durab> I'm not sure if the device is in fact my device, or a placeholder or anything really
[04:31] <kitche> Nutubuntu: probably but if it's X crashing then it's more then firefox
[04:31] <hellogoodbye> the funky red marker pen tool in compiz, how do i clear it after drawing?
[04:31] <Andeh> mik3: I am losing the leash microsoft has on me. Funny how i need to use it to acheive a state where I no longer need to use it.
[04:31] <mik3> omglazers: the last time i converted music i had to use soundconverter to convert from flac to wav, then lame to convert wav to mp3
[04:31] <asep> howto uninstall automatix2 ?
[04:31] <mik3> durab : this is with fiesty?
[04:31] <omglazers> mik3, Any idea if it can handle m4a?
[04:31] <durab> yeah, downloaded the image last week
[04:32] <mik3> omglazers: not sure, i don't mess with m4a
[04:32] <hoagie> hey
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> asep: You dont... that is why we tell people NOT to use it
[04:32] <durab> I get wmaster0 and wlan0 in the sys->network dialog, but no wpa option
[04:32] <mcp_> jrib, meld is cool, thanks
[04:32] <Nutubuntu> kitche, it's only firefox that causes it. sometimes ff just crashes itself, sometimes it takes x down with it.
[04:32] <omglazers> mik3, normally I dont either but someone sent me a few and ive got to deal D:
[04:32] <mik3> durab: look over by the clock where it shows network connections, then click on the right ssid and it should prompt you
[04:33] <durab> nice, like osx. but only wep options available, my billion router only likes to work using wpa prekey
[04:33] <Yoriel_> how can be able to use my rt73 on ubuntu
[04:33] <durab> I will have a dig around, you've got me thinking. thanks for your help so far
[04:33] <Nutubuntu> I'll have to come back to this issue later; gtg. Misty, kitche - everyone - thx and see you later
[04:34] <Yoriel_> is possible, i do 3 differents install options and nothing
[04:34] <asep> Jack_Sparrow : so ..?
[04:34] <Igr|> how do i mount a iso file?
[04:34] <Otacon22> how can i see by shell the process that consume the most part of the cpu without using top?
[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !automatix
[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Reinstall comes to mind
[04:34] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[04:35] <BadRobot> i've using wireless for while those from caffe's and airport longes,so now i'm trying to get my wireless to work @ home but it doesn't work,i put the WEP password right ,it tries to connect but @ the end it doesn't .Can anyone help?
[04:36] <durab> when I tried to connect with wep just to see the errors, I get "The requested wireless network requires security capabilities unsupported by your hardware"
[04:36] <Jack_Sparrow> You can reduce your update download by burning /var/cache/apt/archives to a cd and manually moving them back after a freah install.
[04:36] <snipex> how do i run as a root in linux ? (just curious)

[04:46] <soundray> !automatix | endo
[04:46] <ubotu> endo: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[04:46] <phanter> mik3: the computer does work as server
[04:46] <endo> yeah, tahts what I keep hearing aobut too
[04:47] <jrib> snook: runlevels 2-5 are identical by default.  But I'm not sure why you would have to change runlevels to setup a dual monitor

[04:47] <asep> Vich : Thanx a lot

[04:48] <Otacon22> how can i see by shell the process that consume the most part of the cpu without using top?
[04:48] <Otacon22> !ps
[04:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ps - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:48] <soundray> Otacon22: what's the problem with top?
[04:48] <Otacon22> i need a "stop" ouput
[04:48] <jrib> Otacon22: you can use ps, but you'll have to read the man page...
[04:49] <Otacon22> already done
[04:49] <Otacon22> i don't know good english and i searched but i don't find what i need
[04:49] <soundray> Otacon22: top -n 1

[04:49] <endo> how do I get java to work in firefox?
[04:49] <MSIGuy> Okay, I'm having a brain fart.  How do you enter insert mode in vi?  You just start, hit "i" and you can insert right?  Then escape :wq to quit and save?
[04:50] <kitche> MSIGuy: I hit insert myself
[04:50] <mik3> MSIGuy: i usually just mash keys until i get to where i need to be
[04:50] <reed026> I just installed Ubuntu Server on one of my older machines, when I boot it up it says Grub loading stage 1.5 Grub loading, please wait.... Error 18
[04:51] <NET||abuse> hmm, would updateing things like bios and firmware on my laptop (hp nc6000 from 3 years ago) improve performance of anything?
[04:52] <zt1180> how do get the desktop efects working on feisty
[04:52] <miramana> reed026, hard drive is too big for the old motherboard
[04:52] <reed026> 40GB?
[04:52] <NET||abuse> zt1180, in the system->preferences menu..
[04:52] <Polis_ttt> reed026: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-26741.html
[04:52] <reed026> that doesn't make any since. It works fine with FreeNAS miramana
[04:53] <hellogoodbye> argh loads of my compiz effects have just stopped working!
[04:53] <xpoint> is there a how make a nas server based on ubuntu server iso somewhere ?
[04:54] <NET||abuse> xpoint, now that's specific!!! hhe
[04:54] <NET||abuse> xpoint, basically,, not excatly..
[04:54] <zt1180> when i hit enable it tells me that i can't
[04:54] <NET||abuse> zt1180, exact message?
[04:54] <miramana> reechard, http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18
[04:54] <zt1180> no hang on i will get it
[04:54] <xpoint> NET||abuse, it failed with freebsd NAS
[04:54] <miramana> reed026, , http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18
[04:54] <NET||abuse> xpoint, well, depends on the drivers available from the hardware vendor
[04:55] <ahlfors> Is anyone running ubuntu on a dell latitude d630?  I am considering buying one, and would install linux.
[04:55] <mik3> zt1180: are you using restricted drivers?
[04:55] <NET||abuse> xpoint, nas boxes are very specific with drivers, so you really have to make sure you buy kit with linux driver supprot
[04:55] <jrib> !java > endo (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:55] <hellogoodbye> is it wise to reinstall compiz?
[04:55] <xpoint> NET||abuse, i belived any intel i386 with 8M ram was all i need
[04:55] <mik3> hellogoodbye : why do you need to?
[04:56] <NET||abuse> the pc will work sure.. but the nas box itself (you are talking network attached storage right?) the box with all the drives is what's important
[04:56] <miramana> reed026, your boot parttion is too far from the beginning of the disk
[04:56] <reed026> miramana, so I would need to create a smaller partion that would include the ubuntu server?
[04:56] <hellogoodbye> mik3: quite a few effects have stopped working suddenly, i've tried disabling and re-enabling
[04:56] <reed026> would that render the HD useless though?
[04:57] <mik3> hellogoodbye: can you use beryl? that seems to be the choice in those hippie effects..
[04:57] <mat1980> xpoint: maybe this could help http://jonpeck.blogspot.com/2006/11/how-to-configure-80-fileserver-in-45.html
[04:57] <miramana> reed026, it is not the size that matters, but position
[04:57] <hellogoodbye> i just like the cube etc
[04:57] <mike3_> mik3, what's with the name stealin gbud
[04:57] <xpoint> NET||abuse, yes i just want to use one of the old pc i have for this here, i know i can bay NAS hardware drives but i dont even have shoes :-)
[04:57] <hellogoodbye> it just very suddenly stopped working
[04:57] <mik3> mike3_: i've had this longer than you =P
[04:57] <hellogoodbye> im using the built in compiz setup in feisty
[04:57] <reed026> I guess I still don't exactly understand how to fix it then miramana
[04:57] <mike3_> mik3, Sure you have bud.
[04:57] <mike3_> mik3, You're gay
[04:57] <mike3_> :)
[04:57] <mik3> mike3_: uh, ok?
[04:57] <DanSmir123> Anyone, how can i activate multidesktop cube?
[04:58] <mik3> mike3_: what are you like 15?
[04:58] <hellogoodbye> dan: system, prefs
[04:58] <NET||abuse> xpoint, so what exactly isn't working?
[04:58] <mike3_> mik3, What are you? Homo?

[04:58] <DanSmir123> GUYS, someone know hot to activate multidesktop cube?
[04:58] <miramana> reed026, you should install it into partition within the first 1023 cyls
[04:58] <neverblue> anyone know how to NOT let a keypress toggle 'xset -dpms' ?
[04:58] <mike3_> My apologies. I wasn't aware of the channel rules
[04:59] <mik3> mike3_: so you go around being a degenerate twat by default?
[04:59] <neverblue> take it outta the channel kids
[04:59] <mike3_> mik3, When it's needed yes.
[04:59] <varun0> in gnome-utils, the memory applet says "33% in use by programs. 62% in use as cache". What does "62% in use as cache" mean? What sort of cache is this?
[05:00] <neverblue> else /ignore *!*@host all
[05:00] <DanSmir123> CUBE multidesktop, hot to activate guys?
[05:00] <igoR> Hello, when I'm trying to install Fifa Manager 07 with WINE, I can't continue after that a window popup which is full white with the title "Electronic Arts. Inc", what do I need to see what this Electronic Arts Inc. windows says?
[05:00] <mike3_> varun0, What it says
[05:00] <xpoint> mat1980, thanks perfectly for me
[05:00] <DanSmir123> :'(
[05:01] <DanSmir123> svolochi vi vse. vot
[05:01] <xpoint> NET||abuse, freebsd is not working for me :-)
[05:01] <varun0> mike3_: It doesn't say what sort of cache it is. Is this some sort of kernel caching?
[05:01] <neverblue> igoR, first you should check if that game will even run in Wine
[05:01] <NET||abuse> ??? ok,, so just install ubuntu,, what's the problem?
[05:01] <Tomcat_> igoR: That's a wine question, ask in #winehq
[05:01] <neverblue> NET||abuse, the user :)
[05:01] <Pirate_Hunter> hey people, in general how do i make ubuntu give me access to write to a folder?
[05:01] <NET||abuse> neverblue, guess so :)
[05:01] <hellogoodbye> can someone help me fix my compiz please?
[05:02] <xpoint> NET||abuse, problem is to install ubuntu again :-)
[05:02] <neverblue> Pirate_Hunter, consult 'ubuntu guide'
[05:02] <Tomcat_> Pirate_Hunter: chmod u+w <folder>, or do it in Nautilus.
[05:02] <HymnToLife> Pirate_Hunter, change permissions and/or ownership for it
[05:02] <NET||abuse> xpoint, not a problem,, that's like fun!!
[05:02] <hellogoodbye> pirate: chmod +w folder
[05:02] <HymnToLife> with chmod and chown, respectively
[05:02] <mik3> igoR: i'm guessing it uses directx which AFAIK wine doesn't support  that spiffy graphic rendering stuff from MS
[05:02] <dasmaze> varun0, it's everything that is not a program, as far as i know. Every Picture, Document, etc that was in use gets put there.
[05:02] <zt1180> it says 'desktop effects could not be enabled'
[05:02] <DanSmir123> Can i install visual studio on ubuntu?
[05:02] <NET||abuse> zt1180, ok,, umm, go to gnome-terminal then type in glxinfo | grep direct
[05:02] <mat1980> DanSmir123: http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz
[05:02] <mik3> zt1180: are you using ATI restricted drivers for your video card?
[05:03] <xpoint> NET||abuse, maybe, but i only install things one  time, and stay with it, if it dont work i reformat the drive :-)
[05:03] <zt1180> im not shure
[05:03] <mat1980> DanSmir123: I guess visual studio will not install on ubuntu.
[05:03] <DanSmir123> mat1980: only you love me here
[05:03] <NET||abuse> zt1180, just run glxinfo and see if DirectRendering yes is there...
[05:03] <varun0> dasmaze: maybe my understandings of the kernel are shaky, but wouldn't memory usage of docs/pictures/etc be part of the programs that have loaded those things?
[05:04] <igoR> mik3, you know if Cedega support directx?
[05:04] <mat1980> DanSmir123: http://compiz.org/FAQ/Users#Why_can.27t_I_get_the_cube_rotation_to_work.3F
[05:04] <LungaN> How do i open ports in ubuntu
[05:04] <kitche> igoR: cedega and wine both support directx wine is a bit behind just a tad though
[05:04] <mat1980> DanSmir123: :)
[05:04] <r00tintheb0x> Ports like FreeBSD ports?
[05:04] <dasmaze> varun0, linux attempts to fill the Memory with everything it finds, for later use. Everything you loaded stays there, as long as the space isn't needed by any other program
[05:04] <Pirate_Hunter> HymnToLife: how cna i change permission to a folder if it says im not the owner?
[05:04] <dasmaze> Pirate_Hunter, sudo chmod
[05:04] <mik3> igoR: based on what i'm reading I would assume so
[05:05] <pike_> LungaN: sudo iptables -L   to see current firewall rules.  everything is ACCEPT by default (open)
[05:05] <r00tintheb0x> sudo chown username:groupname file Pirate_Hunter
[05:05] <kitche> r00tintheb0x: umm that is to change owner not permissions
[05:05] <pike_> LungaN: firestarter is a decent front end to iptables you can install
[05:05] <r00tintheb0x> oh
[05:05] <terlmann> dasmaze : isnt that stupid ?
[05:05] <r00tintheb0x> sorry heads buzzin... working hard @ work already
[05:05] <varun0> dasmaze: ahh that makes a lot more sense. so whenever a program loads or something, it replaces data in the cached portion?
[05:05] <endo> !divx | endo
[05:05] <dasmaze> terlmann, why?
[05:06] <r00tintheb0x> !chmod | Pichu0102
[05:06] <ubotu> Pichu0102: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[05:06] <r00tintheb0x> !chmod | Pirate_Hunter
[05:06] <ubotu> Pirate_Hunter: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[05:06] <Pirate_Hunter> r00tintheb0x: would this work - sudo chmod u+w /usr/share/games/xmame/roms/
[05:06] <endo> !divx | endo
[05:06] <terlmann> why would you load up your ram unless you had  , like , gigs of it
[05:06] <r00tintheb0x> Pirate_Hunter yes.
[05:06] <neverblue> anyone know how to NOT let a keypress toggle 'xset -dpms' ?
[05:06] <dasmaze> varun0, if there is free space available, it fills that, the cache gets overwritten if it fills all available memory.
[05:06] <r00tintheb0x> that'd allow users to write to that directory.
[05:06] <varun0> terlmann: maybe so that none of the ram is unused?
[05:06] <terlmann> what if you wanted to game ?
[05:06] <Pirate_Hunter> r00tintheb0x: kk will try it out
[05:07] <terlmann> you would need a ton of ram in a hurry
[05:07] <r00tintheb0x> sure thing.
[05:07] <GenNMX> Linux will use ALL available RAM if needed, unlike Windows, which generally keeps some free for its virtual memory usage by default.
[05:07] <varun0> terlmann: (just speculating here, but) what if it fills up everything, just to be efficient, no matter how much you have?
[05:08] <dasmaze> terlmann, everything in the cache has already been loaded into RAM, so why waste CPU on deleting it? It just stays there till someone replaces the space
[05:08] <terlmann> well if it isnt keeping track of it why bother ?
[05:09] <Pirate_Hunter> r00tintheb0x: nothing happened once I typed that... is that how it works?
[05:09] <mike3_> GenNMX, why
[05:09] <mike3_> GenNMX, Which would you say is better? What advantages do one have over the other?
[05:09] <raf256> mike3_: usused RAM == wasted ram
[05:10] <cylent77> i dont like beryl. it slows my system down
[05:10] <raf256> mike3_: works faster often; Although it isnt REALLY good yet (it will be after adding swap prefatch)
[05:10] <raf256> cylent77: on good gfx card it should speedup I thought?
[05:10] <cylent77> its counter productive
[05:10] <raf256> turn of the eyecandy then
[05:10] <cylent77> raf256: my systems specs are p4 3.4ghz, 1gig ram, 6600 nvidia geforce card. should be more than sufficient
[05:10] <raf256> off
[05:10] <cylent77> and it still sorta lags
[05:10] <brucewang> hey guys, i was wondering what package i need to play vcd (bin/cue) files in totem
[05:11] <mike3_> cylent77, I know why.
[05:11] <mike3_> cylent77, Just can'te remember. :0
[05:11] <mike3_> =)
[05:11] <dasmaze> cylent77, you probably did something wrong, than
[05:11] <mike3_> cylent77, Oh wait, it was related to the version of nvidia drivers I was using.
[05:11] <defrysk> brucewang, bin cue files need to be burned on cd : cdrdao write blah.cue
[05:12] <cylent77> bs; i didnt do crap wrong. i just installed this Linux Mint
[05:12] <cylent77> and then nvidia drivers
[05:12] <brucewang> my pc runs on a 1.6ghz hamster on a wheel and its still pretty fast with ubuntu
[05:12] <mike3_> cylent77, Try getting the newest nvidia drivers.
[05:12] <defrysk> cylent77, what you did wrong is installing linux mint
[05:12] <cylent77> how do u record a video of your desktop ?
[05:12] <neverblue> anyone know how to NOT let a keypress toggle 'xset -dpms' ? (I am trying to keep a display off for a length of time)
[05:12] <cylent77> defrysk: whats wrong with Mint?
[05:13] <brucewang> defrysk,  totem says it can play it, justs needs the plugin
[05:13] <defrysk> cylent77, its not supported here
[05:13] <mike3_> cylent77, There is camstudio for windows.
[05:13] <cylent77> mike3_: i want to record my ubuntu desktop. NOT windows
[05:13] <cylent77> defrysk: i aware of that.
[05:13] <mike3_> cylent77, so vnc fropm a windows box
[05:13] <mike3_> ta da
[05:13] <defrysk> brucewang, cue bin files are image files , not playable files
[05:13] <cylent77> mike3_: You kidding? thats stupid
[05:13] <dasmaze> cylent77, http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=screen+capture+linux&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=
[05:14] <brucewang> defrysk,  also vlc player plays them
[05:14] <defrysk> brucewang, then install vlc
[05:14] <Pici> cylent77: I've been hearing good things about recordmydesktop lately, I believe its in the ubuntu repos.
[05:14] <brucewang> defrysk,  vlc sound is garbled with me
[05:15] <cylent77> cool Pici, thanks. i'll install it once my updates are done.

[05:19] <mik3> raf256: thanks
[05:19] <raf256> Imker: hi2u
[05:19] <naiaxl> anyone know how to fix the sound in a ubuntu? i previewed a file of emule, and my sound doesn't work. Thank you
[05:19] <neverblue> naiaxl, that makes no sense
[05:19] <raf256> naiaxl: try sudo alsaconf   try if other programs (amarok) works
[05:19] <mike3_> cylent77, That's stupid?
[05:20] <brucewang> IdleOne,  i'm not sure that codec is the problem, i need a plugin
[05:20] <mike3_> cylent77, Go tell that to the owners of Iron Geek then.
[05:20] <terlmann> naiale
[05:20] <terlmann> naiaxl
[05:20] <mike3_> cylent77, That's how they accomplish their stuff.
[05:20] <terlmann> what is the file format ?
[05:20] <naiaxl> thank you 4terlmann, but no program with sound works
[05:20] <mike3_> cylent77, I should smack you for insulting me.
[05:20] <terlmann> on
[05:20] <cylent77> mike3_: i want to capture my desktop not the CLI
[05:20] <kitche> mike3_: you mean that's how he does stuff
[05:21] <mike3_> cylent77, I was providing you some help.
[05:21] <naiaxl> the file was a mp3
[05:21] <terlmann> go to applications
[05:21] <terlmann> accessories
[05:21] <terlmann> terminal
[05:21] <kitche> mike3_: since Iron Geek is one guy
[05:21] <mike3_> cylent77, It will capture the desktop
[05:21] <mike3_> kitche, Along with the community making videos.
[05:21] <naiaxl> i cannot hear nothing in firefox too
[05:21] <kitche> mike3_: umm he's the only one that makes the videos
[05:21] <mike3_> kitche, A lot of people use that application.
[05:21] <IdleOne> cylent77, sudo aptitude install gtk-recordmydesktop recordmydesktop
[05:21] <kitche> mike3_: I know him personally
[05:21] <cylent77> mike3_: BUT WHY? theres obviously a linux screen capture utility. VNCing from windows and using a windows capture program IS STUPID imo. its DOABLE but just stupid
[05:22] <terlmann> if it was a mp3 you have to install codiecs
[05:22] <cylent77> IdleOne: Thanks
[05:22] <terlmann> you cant listen to any without it

[05:22] <naiaxl> terlmann: install? but before to do it, my sound worked
[05:22] <mike3_> cylent77, You're very welcome.

[05:25] <Pirate_Hunter> Is it possible to gain full access only to the sub folder and not the main folder im just wondering?
[05:25] <kitche> mike3_: I just checked his site and I don't see any 3rd party section
[05:25] <mike3_> Pirate_Hunter, Yes that's actually one of the few security problems people face.

[05:26] <NightMare> need help on Thunderbird Mail CLIENT
[05:27] <Lin> NightMare: explain your problem.
[05:27] <Pirate_Hunter> mike3_: "...one of the few security problems people face", how much of a security risk is giving full access to one folder especially in my case if it is the mame roms folder
[05:27] <NightMare> i couldn't get it connected
[05:27] <Lin> NightMare: be more precise.
[05:27] <NightMare> i have put both the POP and SMTP addresses but still not

[05:28] <Lin> NightMare: LOL!!!
[05:28] <WeeJeWel> Can you read?
[05:28] <Pirate_Hunter> miramana: i just got one word to say and thats "Huh?", at the moment im reading the site on permission and trying to get the hang of giving full access to that rom folder on its own and not the whole folder
[05:28] <OmegaCenti> Is there a file manager with folder thumbnail view?
[05:28] <incorrect> NightMare, no my password is no incorrect
[05:28] <mike3_> bronze, I think it's X -config
[05:28] <Pici> bronze: sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:28] <mike3_> bronze, I could be wrong
[05:28] <NightMare> but when i checked it with web brouser it works fine
[05:28] <incorrect> my password is correct
[05:29] <bronze> mik3 and Pici, thank you.
[05:29] <WeeJeWel> change the type
[05:29] <kitche> mike3_: he put those up himself since the original site and such for thoise videos are either down or non existant anymore he kinda saved those videos from being gone forever
[05:29] <WeeJeWel> there's a button somehwere to check what types it supports
[05:29] <Lin> NightMare: authentication method. use plain.

[05:39] <NightMare> i was configuring my dialup on KNOPPIX 5.0.1 but i couldn't get the modem why do u think that is
[05:41] <marcel__> I am using ubuntu 7.04 as a Virtual machine in VMWare on my Gateway laptop and I do not have sound
[05:42] <marcel__> when I used it as a live CD, sound was no problem but when I installed it in WM, sound disappeared
[05:42] <NightMare> i know that it is on COM3 but still it says "Device Busy!"
[05:42] <pcom> marcel__: stupid question, but you're sure you've got the drivers? and you're sure whatever you're playing has support?
[05:43] <misty> I'm trying to install ubuntu 7.04 desktop in Vmware 6, and no matter which option I choose (Install, Safe mode, Check disk for errors), it hangs as soon as I make my choice
[05:43] <marcel__> yeah, as I said before installing, I used the live CD and everything worked, after I installed it in WM it is gone and there is this message:
[05:43] <marcel__> he volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.
[05:44] <misty> Is there a known issue with vmware 6? ubuntu server installed just fine
[05:44] <brucewang> anyone recommend a cd burning package for bin/cue files?
[05:44] <pcom> marcel__: sure, just making sure. okay, well grab the gstreamer plugins to be sure
[05:45] <marcel__> how do I do that?
[05:45] <pcom> http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/ should help
[05:45] <pike_> brucewang: i dont know if its best but i usually use cdemu to mount the cue/bin file.  to burn it though..
[05:46] <pike_> !iso
[05:46] <ubotu> 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.
[05:46] <^^^GOTIC^^^> fedora?bad and good linux?
[05:46] <pike_> brucewang: you might want to convert to iso
[05:46] <lazellama> anyone know why i can't see /home/me/.fluxbox?
[05:46] <marcel__> should I go with GSM streamer plugin good, bad or ugly?
[05:46] <synic> I've got an external usb harddrive formatted with ext3.  When I plug it in, it mounts, but my user does not have write permissions to it.  How can I fix this?
[05:46] <brucewang> pike_,  what should i use to convert to iso?
[05:46] <pcom> anyone help me with booting in minus the GUI?
[05:47] <lazellama> it says it can't find it, nor can i see it, but i can get to it.
[05:47] <pcom> lazellama: the . makes it invisible
[05:47] <pike_> lazellama: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~    <-- might  fix it
[05:47] <lazellama> oh. why?
[05:47] <pcom> marcel__: all
[05:47] <lazellama> ok
[05:47] <preaction> marcel__: all of them, so that all the formats will work
[05:47] <pike_> lazellama: lol wait.  ls -a  to see hidden files
[05:47] <marcel__> ok
[05:47] <NightMare> hay pcom
[05:47] <NightMare> my problem is with the modem
[05:47] <NightMare> it does detect it but it says "Device Busy!" am using KNOPPIX 5
[05:47] <fire_storm_> hi , when i try to start desktop effects it gives me this error "The Composite extension is not available"
[05:47] <NET||abuse> hmmmm, would anyone know ,, will there be a picassa for linux ever?? that's such a nice program,, i really like it..
[05:48] <wietz0r> It's there
[05:48] <wietz0r> NET||abuse: There's a port I think
[05:48] <Pici> NightMare: This is the #ubuntu channel, not the Knoppix channel.
[05:48] <wietz0r> NET||abuse: http://picasa.google.com/linux/
[05:48] <NET||abuse> wietz0r, ohhh,,, :) nice
[05:48] <mike3_> NET||abuse, That's online with google.
[05:48] <pike_> brucewang: try k3b first. i havent used it in a while so maybe it supports em now
[05:48] <lazellama> k
[05:49] <brucewang> pike_,  thanks
[05:49] <lazellama> any idea why when i try to run fluxbox it says that the location can't be found. i've tried serveral ways. i've tried loading it from .fluxbox/startup and i've tried exec=startfluxbox from fluxbox.desktop in xsessions
[05:50] <mike3_> lazellama, what about from .xinitrc
[05:50] <lungan> How do i forward ports in ubuntu?
[05:50] <mike3_>  ?
[05:50] <mike3_> lungan, google via iptables routing
[05:50] <mike3_> ?
[05:50] <pcom> lungan: you have to set up routing
[05:50] <pike_> lazellama: a simple way that should work is echo exec startfluxbox > ~/.xinitrc; xinit   i dunno why that wouldnt work
[05:51] <neil> Hey guys
[05:51] <w116tjb> yo
[05:51] <neil> Nvidia website states for the latest version: Improved NVIDIA X driver interaction with ACPI daemon.
[05:51] <neil> Have they fixed resuming from standby?
[05:51] <Fa1> hi
[05:51] <neil> Assuming people know it fails currently...
[05:51] <mike3_> fluxbox is just a pain in the ass if you plan on using at your primary WM.
[05:51] <mike3_> Honestly stupid if you ask me, unless you want to dig and learn.
[05:51] <mike3_> Just get used to the command line.
[05:51] <w116tjb> Mike3_: Try using XFCE...
[05:51] <lungan> If i don't have done anything with my security is all ports opened then?
[05:52] <fire_storm_> hi , when i try to start desktop effects it gives me this error "The Composite extension is not available"
[05:52] <Fa1> just a little question: is there problem with compiz and the Win-Key?
[05:52] <lazellama> mike3_, no i havn't tried that whats the .xinitrc read by? and if i do it that way would it still load gdm first for me to chose the session?
[05:52] <wietz0r> fire_storm_: Is your driver supported ?
[05:52] <mike3_> w116tjb, I rather stick with KDE. I've used all those before. I like something that is more automated. I'm a X slackware user.
[05:52] <mike3_> So you can imagine.
[05:52] <fire_storm_> i use nvidia restricled drivers
[05:52] <mike3_> lazellama, do this
[05:52] <iFries> Hi! :-) Is there anyone that can tell me how to resize a directory full of pictures with imagemagick? I can't figure out the right command ..
[05:53] <mike3_> lazellama, chmod -777 /etc/init.d/gdm
[05:53] <fire_storm_> wietz0r : before i formated my PC it used to work
[05:53] <lazellama> mike3_, k..
[05:53] <mike3_> lazellama, then echo "start fluxbox" > ~/.xinitrc
[05:53] <mike3_> that should do it.
[05:53] <pike_> fluxbox is a nice. load damn small linux and tell me its not a slick wm. fluxbox + conky is pretty slick
[05:53] <marcel__> I am trying to install gstreamer  - I did ./configure, but when I type "make" it says no file specified
[05:53] <mike3_> lazellama, might be the wrong command for .xinitrc though
[05:53] <Fa1> marcel__: why are you compiling it?
[05:53] <neil> fire_storm_: need to check compositing is turned on in your xorg.onf
[05:53] <marcel__> just followng instructions to install it
[05:53] <neil> .conf
[05:53] <Fa1> marcel__: I mean there are prebuild packages
[05:54] <mike3_> pike_, Definately a good WM. However, as a replacement for windows it doesn't come even close.
[05:54] <lazellama> mike3_, should i do "start fluxbox" like you said or "startfluxbox" all in one?
[05:54] <Fa1> marcel__: are you using feisty?
[05:54] <mike3_> lazellama, I'm not to sure what calls up fluxbox
[05:54] <Toma-> Have the most recent hal updates messed up anyone elses systems?
[05:54] <lazellama> ok
[05:54] <marcel__> 7.04 ?
[05:54] <pcom> marcel__:what does the gstreamer doc say?
[05:54] <fire_storm_> neil : how can i do that?
[05:54] <lazellama> i will try brb.
[05:54] <mike3_> lazellama, Ask somebody here. I don't use fluxbox
[05:54] <Fa1> could anybody help me to fix the Super-Key with Compiz?
[05:54] <neil> Nvidia website states for the latest version: Improved NVIDIA X driver interaction with ACPI daemon. Does anyone know if this fixes resuming from standby?
[05:54] <lazellama> mike3_, i think startfluxbox calls ity
[05:54] <neil> fire_storm_: Type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:54] <mike3_> lazellama, ok try it.
[05:54] <DanSmir123> how can i see wmv files over web? GUYS
[05:54] <miramana> lungan, run iptables -L and it will tell your current firewall rules
[05:54] <marcel__> it isays 'type make to compile the package'
[05:54] <sebastian> How do i mount my camera? In other words, how do i mount my USB removable drive,thingy.. in Feisty Fawn ???
[05:55] <neil> check you have :
[05:55] <neil> Section "Extensions"
[05:55] <neil>         Option "Composite" "Enable"
[05:55] <neil> EndSection
[05:55] <pike_> lazellama: try sudo /etc/inti.d/gdm stop; then put exec fluxbox in .xinitrc and run xinit  itll work if flux is installed
[05:55] <dosage> fal: what do you mean fix?
[05:55] <neil> sorry for the past :)
[05:55] <krame> hello
[05:55] <neil> paste,...ahhh
[05:55] <mike3_> lazellama, Take in mind by doing a chmod -777 to your gdm file, you will have to login via CLI then do a "startx"
[05:55] <Zaq> sebastian: I just plug in mine and it's automagical
[05:55] <Fa1> sebastian: It shoud be automounted
[05:55] <krame> somebody speak spanish?

[05:55] <sebastian> Zaq, Fal, OK :/
[05:55] <mike3_> lazellama, You can always edit the gdm config file to have it load fluxbox instead of gnome if you want. You'll have to goolge on how to do this
[05:55] <sebastian> Mine doesn't
[05:55] <Fa1> could somebody help me with Compiz (Super-Key doesn't work), please

[05:56] <mike3_> sebastian, Doesn't mean it has the proper module assosicated with the device.
 nothing more
[05:56] <pcom> marcel__: cd to the dir its in and type 'sudo sh install.sh' i think thats how i did it
[05:56] <fire_storm_> neil : i cant find any of those..
[05:56] <mike3_> associated
[05:56] <IdleOne> ProN00b, search for games in synaptic there are several
[05:56] <Arenlor> ProNOOb I like Einstein myself
[05:56] <dosage> Fal: I fought with that for the past couple hours, I ended up changing key conbinations to avoid the use of <Super>
[05:56] <askand> Will compiz-fusion be default in gutsy?
[05:56] <lazellama> mike3_, rgr pike_  rgr. but I don't understand why when i tried it the other way by using .fluxbox/startup or even fluxbox.desktop it said it "didn't exist" or "could not be found"
[05:56] <sebastian> mike3_, How do i solve it then?
[05:56] <Fa1> could somebody help me with Compiz (Super-Key doesn't work), please?
[05:57] <ProN00b> IdleOne, yeah, i could do that, but i wan't someone to recommend one and not search and try all of them myself
[05:57] <IdleOne> Fa1, #ubuntu-effects can help you
[05:57] <Pici> askand: It will at least be in the ubuntu repositories I believe.  I am running it myself.
[05:57] <Fa1> IdleOne: thank you
[05:57] <mike3_> sebastian, Find the supported module for your device. Google is the best place to start.
[05:57] <mike3_> lazellama, .fluxbox/startup is where you put files to startup after fluxbox starts. The fluxbox.desktop I'm not sure about.
[05:57] <iFries> Hi! :-) Is there anyone that can tell me how to resize a directory full of pictures with imagemagick? I can't figure out the right command ..
[05:58] <askand> Pici: Ok I tried to install from someone elses repositories earlier but didnt work..
[05:58] <dinamoj> ff
[05:58] <neil> fire_storm_: Adding it in at the bottom should work I believe
[05:58] <askand> Pici:you dont have to have beryl/emerald installed for it to work, right?
[05:58] <neil> that whole section
[05:58] <mike3_> lazellama, By adding to .xinitrc did it start for you?
[05:58] <Fa1> dosage: sorry, didn't see your message
[05:58] <Pici> askand: No, I dont. I removed that before I installed.
[05:58] <mike3_> sebastian, Which USB device?
[05:58] <fire_storm_> neil : ok i changed it, now i exit?
[05:58] <lazellama> trying now... one sec
[05:58] <Fa1> dosage: you also have feisty?
[05:58] <dosage> Yeah
[05:59] <askand> Pici: did you remove any compizpackages before install? or desktop-effects?
[05:59] <Pici> askand: #ubuntu-effects or #ubuntu+1 might be able to help you if you have more gutsy/compiz questions.
[05:59] <Fa1> dosage: and really no solution other than just changing the keys
[05:59] <neil> fire_storm_: Added the whole section right, 3 lines?
[05:59] <miramana> lungan, so you are open to the wild
[05:59] <neil> now save, exit, and restart x
[05:59] <marcel__> it says can't compile sh
[05:59] <Pici> askand: I did actually, but thats because my repos were all messed up.
[05:59] <neil> ctrl-alt-backspace
[05:59] <sebastian> mike3_, Bus 005 Device 003: ID 04c8:072f Konica Corp.
[05:59] <Fa1> dosage: perhaps I'll install Beryl instead
[05:59] <marcel__> sorry 'can't open compile.sh'
[05:59] <neil> If you messed up it'll fail, and you'll need to go back into a console and remove the lines,should be fine though :)
[06:00] <dosage> Fal: Thats an option, I think my issue is with my keyboard layout
[06:00] <mike3_> sebastian, Is that a camera?
[06:00] <dosage> Fal: I dont think ubuntu "knows" that I have a Super key
[06:01] <Fa1> dosage: I already tried xmodmap, but without results, so it isn't likely to be the Keyboardlayout

[06:01] <sebastian> mike3_, Yes.. Its a Konica Revio 420Z
[06:01] <mike3_> dosage, I'm pretty sure Ubuntu has nothing to do with it. it's your key mapping
[06:01] <lazellama> mike3_, what should i do with my /usr/share/xsessions/fluxbox.desktop? should i alter the line Exec= and make it say /home/me/.xinitrc or does .xinitrc get loaded anyway?
[06:01] <kitche> lazellama: .xinitrc is only read by startx leave the .desktop files as is
[06:01] <neil> Does anyone know the current nvidia driver version in the ubuntu repository?
[06:01] <neil> OR how to find out??
[06:02] <neil> I want the new one as it apparently fixes ACPI issues..
[06:02] <mike3_> lazellama, Don't worry about that file. It has nothing to do with loading fluxbox up
[06:02] <lungan> ubotu, ok thx, but i don't think its my firewall, beacuse i can be logged in to diablo 2 in like 10seconds before get connection interrupted
[06:02] <kitche> neil: have to compile it manually most likely
[06:02] <dosage> Well I push the button and nothing happens, not too many things that can go wrong =P
[06:02] <skreet> anyone know how to increase the timeout for remote ssh access?
[06:02] <mon^rch> is there a syntax for joining two video files together?
[06:02] <Kingpin> Has anyone successfully installed drivers for an ATI Radeon x1600pro?
[06:02] <neil> kitche: Lame :( How can I find out whats in the repositories?
[06:03] <Fa1> Kingpin: yes, I have
[06:03] <neil> http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=nvidia&searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all
[06:03] <lazellama> kitche, the .desktop file currently has Exec=/usr/local/bin/startfluxbox and that gives errors...so i should just leave it?
[06:03] <jmorales> ola
[06:03] <kitche> neil: by looking at the package version number
[06:03] <neil> tried this, but nowhere mentions the nvidia driver version itself
[06:03] <mike3_> sebastian, You should be able to just mount that camera and extract the pictures ..
[06:03] <Pici> neil: check the changelogs.
[06:03] <Fa1> Kingpin: but actually you just have to klick a button, don't you?
[06:03] <mike3_> sebastian, Ubuntu has that option automatically compiled in the kernel.
[06:03] <sebastian> ok
[06:03] <sebastian> mike3_, But nothing happens when i connect it
[06:03] <Kingpin> I'm not sure I tried downloading the linux drivver of the ati site and i can't seem to run it
[06:03] <mike3_> sebastian,open a shell
[06:04] <sebastian> yeah?
[06:04] <sebastian> Done.. Next?
[06:04] <mike3_> sebastian, You said nothing happens eh? When you plug the camera in, does anything happen?
[06:04] <neil> Pici: Nice one, its 96.31...
[06:04] <mon^rch> how can I join 2 vid files together in linux?
[06:04] <skreet> anyone know how to increase the timeout for remote ssh access?
[06:04] <sebastian> mike3_, Nothing other than that it pops up in the list "lsusb"
[06:04] <miramana> mon^rch, avidemux
[06:05] <marcel__> can anyone help me install gstreamer?
[06:05] <mike3_> sebastian, hrm... I would of thought it reconized it as a mass storage device. For instance a pen drive.
[06:05] <mike3_> Most camera's work that way.
[06:05] <sebastian> Exactly :)
[06:05] <sebastian> Can I mount it by hand?
[06:05] <OmegaCenti> Is there no folder thumbnail software in Linux? I have really been trying to find this. the best I could find was a feature request in 2002 for nautilus... its development status is, "future". I think they weren't kidding.
[06:06] <neil> Will we have to wait for gutsy to get the nvidia 100.x drivers?
[06:06] <sebastian> You know, with the info i get from "lsusb"
[06:06] <mike3_> sebastian, you can try
[06:06] <neil> Tbh they are kinda needed
[06:06] <kitche> neil: compile them yourself if you need them
[06:06] <paulk> any grub guru's in?
[06:06] <mike3_> sebastian, mount /dev/sda1 /dir/dirc
[06:06] <Kingpin> Fal: if you could tell me how you installed the drivers for that card that'd be awesome
[06:06] <skreet> anyone know how to increase the timeout for remote ssh access?
[06:06] <mike3_> sebastian, mount /dev/sdaX /dir/dirc
[06:06] <mike3_> sorry
[06:06] <neil> kitche: Any idea where I can find a guide where to do that?
[06:07] <MSIGuy> So, here's a problem, when ever I try to login as root, using su it tells me I have the wrong password, but when I sudo a command it lets me in.
[06:07] <kitche> !envy | neil
[06:07] <neil> Will it break anything? :D
[06:07] <ubotu> neil: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[06:07] <MSIGuy> Anyone know why?  lol
[06:07] <kitche> !nvidia | neil follow the guide
[06:07] <ubotu> neil follow the guide: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:07] <mike3_> MSIGuy, yes
[06:07] <Pici> MSIGuy: so, use sudo not su.  sudo is the preferred way to get root access.
[06:07] <mike3_> MSIGuy, do a "sudo passwd root"
[06:07] <user_1> MSIGuy: su is disabled by default in ubuntu
[06:07] <pcom> does anybody know if i'd just use /etc/init.d/gnome-session stop to end the GUI? or would i need to end everything?
[06:07] <miramana> !root ! MSIGuy
[06:07] <MSIGuy> Oh, really?
[06:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about root ! msiguy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:08] <Kingpin> Has anyone successfully installed drivers for an ATI Radeon x1600pro?
[06:08] <mike3_> MSIGuy, add your user to the wheel group
[06:08] <kitche> !noroot
[06:08] <ubotu> Regardless of your choice: Please do not advise against user security policy and create a root password, please see !rootsudo
[06:08] <mike3_> MSIGuy, Should be able to do it then
[06:08] <user_1> MsiGuy: Yes. By default, root has no password.
[06:08] <paulk> can anyone help me with a device mapping issue in grub?
[06:08] <Pici> kitche: Thanks, I was looking for that factoid.
[06:08] <MSIGuy> I didn't know that su was disabbled.
[06:08] <miramana> !root | MSIGuy
[06:08] <ubotu> MSIGuy: 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
[06:08] <kane77> MSIGuy, you have to set password for su... sudo and su are different things (the same user but in different way)...
[06:08] <sebastian> mike3_, What do you mean with /dev/sdaX
[06:08] <sebastian> ?
[06:08] <MSIGuy> Ah....
[06:08] <mike3_> MSIGuy, You can use either one
[06:08] <kitche> Pici: gnomefreak told me about it in a pm the other day
[06:08] <neil> kitche: Doesnt that page just say to use the restricted drivers thing? The package in the ubuntu repository isnt what I'm after, I want the newer one from nvidia
[06:08] <marcel__> gstreamer installation, anyone?
[06:09] <kitche> neil: it tells you how to compiel one also if you wish
[06:09] <Kingpin> Has anyone successfully installed drivers for an ATI Radeon x1600pro?
[06:09] <kunwon1> Disregard All
[06:09] <Ecnerifed_> lo all, how can i kill a session from console?
[06:09] <Pici> !ops | all
[06:09] <ubotu> all: Help! Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, jenda, nixternal, Myrtti or mneptok
[06:09] <gordonjcp> !ops All is spamming
[06:09] <gnomefreak> Pici: ?
[06:09] <gordonjcp> Pici: beat me to it
[06:09] <sebastian> Ecnerifed_, kill [PID] 
[06:10] <Pici> gnomefreak: see above
[06:10] <sebastian> Ecnerifed_, Or.. killall [name] 
[06:10] <gnomefreak> Pici: handled
[06:10] <troopperi> !kill | Pici
[06:10] <ubotu> Pici: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[06:10] <pcom> Ecnerifed_: to get the PID you need to ps -AU**user** and then kill [PID] 
[06:10] <sebastian> Ecnerifed_, you can find out the names of the processes by typing top in a console
[06:10] <Pici> troopperi: Okay?
[06:10] <user_1> Ecnerifed_, or more easily, by typing ps
[06:11] <Ecnerifed_> i need to kill a login xsession
[06:11] <neil> kitche: Thanks.. trying to find it
[06:11] <Ecnerifed_> cause i screwed it up :P
[06:11] <mike3_> sebastian, I mean, you are mounting. That's a manual mount
[06:11] <Pici> marcel__: Search synaptic for gstreamer, there are multiple packages for you to choose from.
[06:11] <mike3_> sebastian, I'm out for lunch. I will talk to you when I get back if you are around
[06:12] <Pici> marcel__: You might want to just sudo apt-get install totem-gstreamer though
[06:12] <sebastian> mike3_, Thanks, and bon apetit..
[06:12] <sebastian> :P
[06:12] <marcel__> o.k, I will try
[06:12] <user_1> Ecnerifed_: I think something like "killall gnome" would do ?
[06:13] <neil> kitche: Nice one, you mean method 2 on here im guessing? http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_nvidia_feisty#METHOD_2
[06:13] <neil> my only question - upgrading kernels and whatnot will break the graphics, correct/
[06:13] <Kingpin> I get a black screen on startup using restricted drivers any ideas how use the driver w/o this happening
[06:14] <Tm_T> neil: why should it?
[06:14] <troopperi> Kingpin: what card you have
[06:14] <Kingpin> x1600pro
[06:14] <Kingpin> pcie
[06:14] <neil> If you use a custom driver, ie not from restricted modules or a .deb, it does surely?
[06:14] <Tm_T> neil: only if your drivers doesn't upgrade at the same time
[06:14] <neil> If you compile your own, then surely they wont?
[06:14] <neil> :)
[06:14] <coco> hola
[06:15] <Tm_T> neil: no unless you do so
[06:15] <Kingpin> Well the only thing i've tried is the restricted driver that I got from the ati site
[06:15] <neil> Tm_T ok, as I thought then..
[06:15] <neil> Just realised that page doesnt tell you how to compile your own, but how to install the nvidia .run file, but I guess thats fine
[06:16] <user_1> How long does it ussualy take until a bug (via launchpad) is fixed?
[06:16] <Tm_T> neil: well, when you don't use packages, you get responsibility, simple
[06:16] <user_1> Or does the time greatly vary?
[06:16] <neil> Tm_T yup
[06:16] <Tm_T> user_1: yes does
[06:16] <placebo> hi
[06:16] <paulk> i have ubuntu on Hda1 and XP on sda1 , however i am not pointing grub to the right partition for XP and it wont boot
[06:16] <user_1> But there's probably something like a minimum
[06:16] <paulk> http://pastebin.4programmers.net/2699
[06:16] <user_1> time
[06:17] <Tm_T> user_1: yes, like last year
[06:17] <neverblue> anyone know how to NOT let a keypress toggle 'xset -dpms' ? (I am trying to keep a display off for a length of time)
[06:17] <troopperi> Kingpin: tried to change xorg.conf file driver "vesa" to "ati"
[06:17] <user_1> Tm_T: so it could take several months??? lol
[06:17] <Kingpin> troopperi: I'll try that now
[06:18] <Tm_T> user_1: well, it could be already fixed when reported, or it could take a year, it just depends
[06:18] <placebo> i would know a book to learn to use linux please
[06:18] <troopperi> Kingpin: tried to change xorg.conf file driver "vesa" to "ati" and chage it back if it wont work
[06:18] <Kingpin> ok
[06:18] <user_1> Aha. So you just have to wait?
[06:18] <Tm_T> user_1: or help fixing it
[06:19] <user_1> Tm_T: How do you do that?
[06:19] <Tm_T> user_1: it depends
[06:19] <vertigo> hello, is there a way to make my login user root in an Ubuntu Gnome install? I would like to be able to trash stuff in the /home/username directory without having to use a terminal
[06:19] <Tm_T> user_1: sometimes bugs need more info, sometimes they are not usable at all and should be closed, sometimes there's testing needed etc
[06:19] <vertigo> right now it reply's with: You dont have rights to do this
[06:20] <user_1> Tm_T: How do I now if more info or tests are needed?
[06:20] <kritzstapf> vertigo: alt+f2: gksudo nautilus
[06:20] <user_1> (I want it to be fixed soon - so I'd help with all the information I have)
[06:21] <wyrdsystir> How do I uninstall Ubuntu from a machine? I have been searching for this answer in forums and on the net and none of the suggestions I have found there work for me
[06:21] <Tm_T> user_1: good question, devel should inform that, though common sense might tell something
[06:21] <Tm_T> user_1: anyway, depends on what is the bug
[06:21] <user_1> Tm_T: So I'd get an email (I reported it via launchpad)
[06:21] <vertigo> kritzstapf: do i have to type that every time?
[06:21] <Tm_T> user_1: maybe
[06:21] <kritzstapf> "every time", why do you want to be root that often?
[06:22] <neverblue> wyrdsystir, because you need to look for "how to install an operating system"
[06:22] <user_1> Thanks. Bye
[06:22] <vertigo> no idea, i just like to be able to access everything without having to type commands.. :)
[06:23] <placebo> hi I need help because i can use beryl in my ubuntu ultimate because i don't found the drivers of my ATI X1700
[06:23] <kritzstapf> vertigo: what about creating a symbol on your desktop which executes "gksudo nautilus", so you can start a nautilus with root-rights without having to use a command
[06:23] <vertigo> would get me a security prob though.. btw, are there any Linux Virusscanners / Adaware scanners? I know linux is extremely safe.. but safe enough to run without?
[06:23] <Pici> !virus | vertigo
[06:23] <ubotu> vertigo: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[06:23] <vertigo> tnx kritzstapf and Pici :)
[06:23] <Pici> vertigo: er, thats not what I wanted.  clamav is available if you want a virus scanner.
[06:24] <pike_> vertigo: i think rootkit scanners are more popular and that should give you an idea of how safe it is
[06:24] <troopperi> !fglrx | placebo
[06:24] <ubotu> placebo: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:24] <kritzstapf> clamav mainly detects windows-viruses :D
[06:24] <vertigo> lol
[06:24] <placebo> thank you
[06:24] <vertigo> well, i dont want my Linux puter to infect the windows ones..
[06:25] <kitche> vertigo: only if you share files or use the linux computer for a mail server will it be infected
[06:25] <placebo> thank you to all
[06:26] <soyporti> hello, how can i install a pixma 1700 in feisty fawn and in a computer that is not conected to the internet?

[06:26] <olliwoll1> hi I have a problem translating a pygtk application I wrote. In which channel I can ask people for help for this topic?
[06:26] <kritzstapf> Kingpin: alt+f2: "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[06:26] <kritzstapf> :)
[06:26] <kitche> Kingpin: there is three ways really sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf or sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:26] <bronze> Kingpin, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:26] <kitche> olliwoll1: maybe the gtk channel?
[06:26] <Rei-chan> Hey, I have an older box that 6.10 and Feisty reboot when I stick the CD in. If I grab an older version of Ubuntu, can I serial upgrade to Feisty?

[06:27] <NET||abuse> hmm, setup picassa there!! bloody rules.. great program..
[06:27] <olliwoll1> kitche: it is more a gettext thing than pygtk

[06:29] <Rei-chan> Anyone know if the older versions are still available?
[06:29] <NET||abuse> hah,, a google channel.
[06:29] <NET||abuse> funny.
[06:29] <indigo> OMG...nethack is in universe! what is something so important doing in there?

[06:32] <benmayim> I installed ubuntu server 7.04, it asked during installation if I wanted LAMP or some other server, I picked LAMP, but when I added Ubuntu desktop and searche for apache2.config and the php and mysql config files, there were none. Did LAMP server get installed or not?
 thanks a lot  :)
[06:33] <troopperi> soyporit: if its help :P
[06:33] <kritzstapf> Mind_Distortion: what does alsamixer say?
[06:33] <dotpavan> !patience > wyrdsystir
[06:33] <Mind_Distortion> hda via VT82xx
[06:33] <miramana> benmayim, nothing in /etc ?
[06:34] <benmayim> right, miramana, nothing in /etc.
[06:34] <kacuriel> kacuriel
[06:34] <mypapit> kacuriel?
 the alsamixer say  hda via VT82xx
[06:34] <reed026> miramana, I'm at the partion screen for Loading Ubuntu Server, to overrule this Grub 18 error, should I make 1 partion that is 512mb and then the other partion would have the 139.5gb?
[06:34] <benmayim> Did installing the ubuntu desktop take it away, or did it never install?
[06:35] <kritzstapf> Mind_Distortion: and is this the actual soundchip?
[06:35] <Mind_Distortion> yes
[06:35] <kritzstapf> are the channels unmuted?
[06:35] <dotpavan> benmayim, see your localhost to check of apache is installed
[06:35] <kitche> benmayim: some people say that there is a bug with LAMP install
[06:36] <kitche> benmayim: but what does http://localhost show you
[06:36] <neverblue> anyone know how to NOT let a keypress toggle 'xset -dpms' ? (I am trying to keep a display off for a length of time)
[06:36] <benmayim> how do you see your local host?
[06:36] <kitche> benmayim: in a browser go to http://localhost
[06:36] <miramana> reed026, you can create a 100mb part for /boot to overcome grub's limits and place / anythere
[06:36] <kitche> benmayim: if you use another computer go to http://<ip of server>
[06:37] <benmayim> oh, let me try that, but I don't see how that could work if i have none of the apache2 files in /etc
[06:37] <miramana> reed026, i mean, 100 mb at the beginning
[06:37] <benmayim> be back later.
[06:37] <pcom> benmayin: you do have apache installed and running?
[06:37] <reed026> so I would need a 100mb partion and then I could use the rest for the Ubuntu install? Would I still need a swap and all of that?
[06:37] <dotpavan> benmayim, it would be /var/www
[06:38] <zpc9999> mn,
[06:39] <andax11> vertigo: one should use root acces as carefully considered as Clark uses his superman-powers.... only when it's really important and no one else could do it. To repair something, or install.... and logout as soon as you don't need root access anymore. ;)
[06:40] <benmayim> What do you type in the web browser to see if apache is running?
[06:41] <incorrect> stupid question, but can you assign ip address by host name?
[06:41] <iceportal> benmayim - if it's installed on your computer, just http://127.0.0.1 maybe
[06:41] <gordonjcp> benmayim: try the ip address of your computer
[06:41] <gordonjcp> incorrect: what do you mean?
[06:41] <dotpavan> incorrect, yes, for ex dyndns
[06:41] <incorrect> rather than assign a static ip
[06:41] <gordonjcp> incorrect: or rather, what exactly are you trying to do?
[06:41] <benmayim> or http://localhost?
[06:41] <incorrect> normally you use mac
[06:41] <iceportal> benmayim yes
[06:42] <incorrect> well i would like to say that system001 has .1 as its ip
[06:42] <max_> #examen
[06:42] <iceportal> o.o
[06:42] <incorrect> 002 get .2 so on and so forth
[06:42] <incorrect> rather than doing something like dhcp -> dns updates
[06:42] <omha> what is the mixer called?
[06:42] <gordonjcp> incorrect: I'm still not getting what you're trying to do here
[06:43] <gordonjcp> incorrect: do you mean use hostnames instead of mac addresses?
[06:43] <incorrect> gordonjcp, exactly!
[06:43] <gordonjcp> incorrect: no, you can't
[06:43] <incorrect> oh well :)
[06:43] <Otacon22> how can i see the total consume of the cpu using ps
[06:43] <dotpavan> incorrect, dyndns, no-ip are such services online
[06:43] <incorrect> nevermind
[06:43] <Otacon22> ?
[06:43] <gordonjcp> incorrect: the hostnmae is kind of an alias for the ip address
[06:43] <gordonjcp> it's not, but it helps to think of it that way
[06:43] <gordonjcp> Otacon22: you could use top
[06:43] <Otacon22> no
[06:44] <Otacon22> i need to use ps
[06:44] <incorrect> gordonjcp, well dhcp does transmit the name so i wonder if you could say,  if i get host001 send ip .1
[06:44] <incorrect> its cool, ill think of something else
[06:44] <brk3> is there a way to turn off window transparency in compiz some of my apps appear slightly transparent by default..
[06:44] <gordonjcp> Otacon22: I'm not sure you can use ps for that
[06:45] <Otacon22> gordonjcp, i need something that return to command line, like ps, not like top that stay open, i need to get the ouput and using in a my program
[06:45] <gordonjcp> Otacon22: what about 'cat /proc/loadavg' ?
[06:46] <miramana> Otacon22, top -b -n1
[06:46] <Otacon22> ok, now i try
[06:46] <incorrect> i guess i should assign static ip addresses :S
[06:47] <sparrw> Can anyone recommend a distro with [K] Ubuntu's superior desktop integration and out-of-the-box configuration, but debian's release schedule?
[06:47] <ruks> hey whats a good torrent site besides demonoid.com since its down?
[06:48] <terlmann> thepiratebay.org ?
[06:48] <terlmann> isotorrent.com ?
[06:48] <osxdude> nininova.org? isohunt?
[06:48] <terlmann> google it
[06:48] <jhaig> sparrw: [K] Ubuntu, using the LTS editions?
[06:48] <osxdude> ^mininova
[06:48] <Pici> !offtopic
[06:48] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:48] <terlmann> no mininova

[06:48] <ubotu> piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o
[06:48] <osxdude> Sry.
[06:48] <terlmann> Piracy is illegal in my country
[06:49] <sparrw> jhaig: err, i meant the other way around, with stableish packages available SOONER
[06:49] <kitche> Pici: ah that is the switch for it :)
[06:49] <terlmann> freedom of speech
[06:49] <sparrw> Pici: using ubuntu is questionably legal.  so what do we talk about in here?
[06:49] <terlmann> no pirates exist
[06:49] <terlmann> just harmless users
[06:49] <terlmann> ubuntu is illigal!!
[06:49] <terlmann> linux is illegal
[06:49] <Pici> sparrw: Bring it up with the ops if you have problems with the policies. #ubuntu-ops
[06:49] <terlmann> worshop microcrap!
[06:50] <jhaig> sparrw: I'm confused.  You want [K] Ubuntu's release cycle and [K] Ubuntu's desktop integration and configuration?
[06:50] <troopperi> terlmann: explain
[06:50] <Otacon22> gordonjcp, i need also to know the name of the process that consume the largest part of ram
[06:50] <Otacon22> for the cpu i can use: ps aux --sort=%cpu
[06:50] <kitche> sparrw: it's not questionably legal to use linux
[06:50] <sparrw> jhaig: no, i want what i said.  when i say debian, i dont just mean the last step of their releases, i mean the whole thing.
[06:50] <Otacon22> but for memory ram ps aux --sort=%mem don't work
[06:50] <gordonjcp> think you can sort by memory usage too with ps
[06:50] <sparrw> kitche: sure it is, for patent reasons if nothing else
[06:50] <ecstasy`> euuw ubuntu *leave*
[06:50] <gordonjcp> sparrw: no it's not
[06:51] <sparrw> gordonjcp: you MIGHT be violating someones patent, somewhere, by using ubuntu.  that makes it questionably legal.
[06:51] <gordonjcp> sparrw: no, I guarantee you I'm not
[06:51] <sparrw> jhaig: i want the equivalent of debian "unstable" in a ubuntu-like distro
[06:52] <terlmann> freedom of speech would really mean no intellectual property. it would not exist.
[06:52] <sparrw> gordonjcp: so if i told you i had a patent that covered the ext2 and ext3 filesystems, you would say... ?
[06:52] <daquino>  so there seems to be some various uml support packages but yet nothing directly for installing uml ?
[06:52] <terlmann> thoughts cannot be patented
[06:52] <gordonjcp> sparrw: furthermore, unless someone actually comes forward and says that Ubuntu (or any other flavour of Linux) is violating patents, it's not
[06:52] <gordonjcp> sparrw: then I'm not violating any patents
[06:52] <terlmann> neither can the way you BREATH
[06:52] <ubuntuEdgy> im working on a file and every time i want to copy stuf i have to use sudo nautilus, any way i can paste files with out the long process
[06:52] <terlmann> neither can the way you BREATHE*
[06:52] <sparrw> gordonjcp: no, that would be "definitely illegal".  not "questionably legal".
[06:52] <jhaig> sparrw: What is it in unstable that you want that isn't in Ubuntu?
[06:52] <gordonjcp> sparrw: noped
[06:52] <sparrw> jhaig: any package less than 6 months old
[06:53] <gordonjcp> sparrw: you can patent any piece of software you like
[06:53] <gordonjcp> sparrw: I won't be breaching patent if I use it
[06:53] <terlmann> it is now illegal to use Irc . I just patented chatting using text interfaces. Everyone GET OFF
[06:53] <terlmann> see ?
[06:53] <Riott> I am having a problem with the ubuntu synaptic manager, if somone would care to help me
[06:53] <sparrw> terlmann: doesnt count unless you patent it before other people do it
[06:53] <Biohazard> lol
[06:53] <pcom> Riott: whats the problem?
[06:53] <kitche> Riott: what's your problem
[06:53] <terlmann> noone have done so
[06:54] <sparrw> jhaig: my desktop at home is pulling from gutsy now, but thats dangerous.  i cant afford to do the same at work.
[06:54] <Riott> every time I start the synaptic manger, it says "you have onhe broken package on your system" and says use thebroken filter to locate it
[06:54] <kitche> sparrw: well unstable is quite dangerous as well
[06:54] <Riott> and then the snaptic manager shuts down
[06:54] <gordonjcp> sparrw: there's no such thing as patented software
[06:54] <terlmann> also I patent the combination of peanuts and fruit , in any for,
[06:54] <terlmann> form *
[06:54] <jhaig> sparrw: I know that people use unstable, but it's purpose is the same as gutsy (I believe).
[06:54] <kritzstapf> Riott: use aptitude to fix it :)
[06:54] <terlmann> patents on things you didnt genuinly invent are crap
[06:54] <sparrw> kitche: no, its not.  unstable works fine in better than 99.9% of cases.  ubuntu+1 is virtually guaranteed to break completely.
[06:54] <sparrw> jhaig: not even close
[06:54] <terlmann> microsoft office ? ripoff of Lotus
[06:54] <pcom> Riott: so use apt-get auto remove
[06:55] <sparrw> jhaig: debian unstable is like gutsy a week before release
[06:55] <Riott> I am sorry, I am somewhat is a linux newbie, could you be more specific
[06:55] <kitche> sparrw: then you never used unstable fully then
[06:55] <kitche> sparrw: sicne I can break a system with unstable easily since that is what gutsy is based on
[06:55] <jhaig> sparrw: Erm, dare I ask why you don't use debian unstable?
[06:56] <omha> Riott,  type "sudo apt-get autoremove" in a terminal
[06:56] <sparrw> kitche: i ran it as my primary gaming desktop for 3 years.  id say i used it pretty fully.
[06:56] <voorhees86> hey i just install ubuntu but my sistem dont boot, they just boot, when i select boot from the first hard drive on cd
[06:56] <pcom> Riott: sudo apt-get autoremove - try that
[06:56] <wols_> voorhees86: harddrive on CD?
[06:56] <sparrw> jhaig: because ubuntu packages are better configured and integrated out of the box.  things like automounting my ipod and camera, etc
[06:56] <kitche> sparrw: then use gutsy since gutsy pretty much equals unstable
[06:56] <sparrw> kitche: no, it doesnt
[06:57] <voorhees86> wols_ on live cd have this option, to boot from hard drive
[06:57] <terlmann> I know ! I will patent Patenting !
[06:57] <gordonjcp> sparrw: you can't patent software, get a grip
[06:57] <kitche> sparrw: ok if you say so since gutsy uses debian-unstable repo pretty much
[06:57] <wols_> gordonjcp: you can do it
[06:57] <sparrw> right now i want openoffice.org 2.2.1.  ive already pulled it on my debian box.  if i pull it from gutsy on my ubuntu box i am pretty certain i will also pull new libraries from gutsy that will very much not work
[06:57] <gordonjcp> sparrw: that's got to be the stupidest thing I've heard all day, and I work in a design agency
[06:57] <wols_> is too many countries
[06:57] <gordonjcp> wols_: maybe in the US, where they have crazy laws
[06:57] <sparrw> gordonjcp: you can patent algorithms.  fun stuff.  america rocks.  </sarcasm>
[06:58] <gordonjcp> sparrw: I'm not in America
[06:58] <wols_> gordonjcp: other places too. and there are quite a many software patents in the EU too
[06:58] <gordonjcp> wols_: not in the UK
[06:58] <user602> they have a law in pennsylvania where its illegal to have a refrigerator on your lawn
[06:58] <wols_> hehe: EU patents. they are valid so far int he UK too
[06:58] <pcom> gordonjcp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patent
[06:58] <gordonjcp> user602: quite right too
[06:58] <surviver> hello evry1 , anyone familair with linux - windows printing services over network?
[06:58] <sparrw> gordonjcp: so what?  plenty of places downloading movies and music is not illegal, but thats what started this discussion.  if its illegal anywhere, its off limits in #ubuntu
[06:58] <wols_> yes you cannot patent software. we have that law in germany too. unfortunately the patent office doesn't follow that law
[06:59] <benmayim> Does Ubuntu server version of 7.04 not install LAMP even though it gives you the option when installing Ubuntu server7.04? I tried localhost in a web browser, and my ip number, and both said they couldn't be connected.
[06:59] <gordonjcp> pcom: exactly
[06:59] <jhaig> sparrw: Unless someone is willing to create a distribution that contains all the very latest packages without breaking nice configurations, I would say that your best bet is to use Ubuntu stable, and any packages you need to be the very latest you should build yourself.
[06:59] <wols_> gordonjcp: and especially the UK is one of the biggest propnents of software patents in the EU
[06:59] <sparrw> jhaig: so far thats where i am
[06:59] <wols_> Bhaal: dpkg -l apache2
[06:59] <sparrw> jhaig: im actually tempted to try doing a hybrid debian/ubuntu install
[06:59] <gordonjcp> pcom: in theory certain pieces of software may be patentable in the UK, but no conceivable piece of software meets the criteria
[06:59] <speaker219> http://linuxmint.com is the best distro i've used -- comes with everything i need
[06:59] <surviver> anyone know how i can work with a windows -printer iam here on linux and trying to print without succes
[06:59] <wols_> sparrw: that's a stupid idea imho
[06:59] <speaker219> its completely based on ubuntu though
[06:59] <wols_> !printing | surviver
[07:00] <ubotu> surviver: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[07:00] <gordonjcp> 17:59 < sparrw> jhaig: im actually tempted to try doing a hybrid debian/ubuntu install
[07:00] <roottoor> Hi all i need some help with Feisty server. Can any one help me ?
[07:00] <gordonjcp> sparrw: danger
[07:00] <gordonjcp> sparrw: bad crazyness
[07:00] <jhaig> sparrw: I would think that keeping the latest versions of absolutely everything, while not breaking things, is more than most people would be willing to do.
[07:00] <sparrw> wols_: right now better configuration is why im with ubuntu.  it BARELY outweighs debian's more useful-to-me package life cycle
[07:00] <N> hi
[07:00] <nanda_> hi, I just installed 7.04 on a dell e1505 (an older one with Intel graphics, came with windows originally) and am only getting a 1024x768 res instead of 1280x800
[07:00] <Riott> Thank you for the help, that seems to have solved part of the problem I was having
[07:00] <gordonjcp> sparrw: if you absolutely *must* have bleeding-edge software, run Gentoo
[07:00] <wols_> !info 915resolution
[07:00] <nanda_> I looking in xorg.conf and the resolution in there says 1280x800
[07:00] <ubotu> 915resolution: resolution modification tool for Intel graphic chipset. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5.2-10ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 14 kB, installed size 124 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64)
[07:00] <Pici> !fixres | nanda_  check out the following link
[07:00] <ubotu> nanda_  check out the following link: 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
[07:00] <LBAWinOwns> nanda_ , go in system resolution?
[07:00] <wols_> nanda_: use that
[07:00] <Riott> Now, when I start the synaptic package manager, I no longer recieve the "you have a broken package message"
[07:00] <sparrw> gordonjcp: not bleeding edge.  3-4 months old is not bleeding edge.
[07:00] <pcom> gordonjcp: if that were true, there would be no need for software patent if it were strictly theoretical. You patent goods and services, like code- or you do if you're looking to make money off it
[07:01] <Pici> Riott: So its working?
[07:01] <Riott> but as soon as the synaptic package manager starts, it shuts down
[07:01] <Riott> by itself
[07:01] <gordonjcp> pcom: except you can't patent them in the UK
[07:01] <nanda_> thanks for the link
[07:01] <Pici> oh.
[07:01] <nanda_> will check it out now
[07:01] <Riott> no, its not working, unfortunatley
[07:01] <Riott> any ideas ?
[07:01] <wick2o> hello
[07:01] <gordonjcp> pcom: you can patent a physical invention, but not an algorithm
[07:01] <sparrw> ubuntu+1 is equivalent to debian unstable about a week before it releases.  a week AFTER a release, ubuntu+1 is unusable.
[07:01] <benzs_s> silly question... how do i get my workspace panel back?
[07:01] <gordonjcp> pcom: I see good and bad sides to this
[07:01] <benmayim> Can anyone tell me if Ubuntu server 7.04 actually installs LAMP server or not?
[07:01] <LBAWinOwns> nanda_ out of own experience, just take a very quick look if u can change it from the UI, since I remember I wwasted half an hour on it when I just could do something easy from system menus
[07:01] <wick2o> has there every been an apt-get fix for the edgy  403 Forbidden [IP: 91.189.89.6 80]  problem?
[07:01] <gordonjcp> benmayim: probably not, it's a pretty stripped-down install
[07:02] <Maha`> whoa its gordonjcp
[07:02] <nanda_> LBAWinOwns, I did that, max res in there is 1024x768
[07:02] <roottoor> Any one here verse in Ubuntu Server ?
[07:02] <benmayim> gordonjcp, well it gives you the option to install it.
[07:02] <wick2o> roottoor: depends on the version
[07:02] <Pici> Riott: if you open a terminal and then run synaptic manually, does it spit any errors into the terminal?
[07:02] <pcom> gord@ so long as it is patentable, that is follows the four criteria of william hill and aerotel cases.
[07:02] <Riott> no
[07:02] <Riott> no it does not
[07:02] <gordonjcp> pcom: I do actually hold a couple of patents
[07:02] <wick2o> i have a headless box im tring to apt-get update so i can install mysql, but i keep getting the 403 forbidden errors
[07:03] <neil_> Hey guys, believe it or not resuming from suspend FINALLY works in ubuntu if you add the new nvidia drivers! So does VT switching..
[07:03] <LBAWinOwns> nanda_ yea, I had the thing in Kubntu, but there are more things you can choose, at least in Kubuntu, I had max 1024*768, but I could do something in another menu soo i got 1600*1200 something
[07:03] <neil_> How can we get this added to ubuntu repositories?
[07:03] <benmayim> does server version 6.06 install LAMP correctly?
[07:03] <jhaig> sparrw: What packages exactly do you need newer than 6 months old?
[07:03] <terlmann> No more patents on any words !
[07:03] <Otacon22> gordonjcp, ps aux --sort=%mem don't work properly
[07:03] <wick2o> benmayim: define correctly?
[07:03] <Beamoo> Need help! What do i do if i get this message "Firefox is already running, but not responding. To open a new windows you must first close the existing firefox process
[07:03] <gordonjcp> Otacon22: don't know then
[07:03] <surviver> anyone can help i got a printer ON windows pc in network iam here on my ubuntu and try to print without succes :s
[07:03] <Riott> when I use apt get in terminal it works fine, no errors
[07:03] <omha> jhaig, compiz fusion
[07:03] <Beamoo> how do i close the existing process
[07:03] <Otacon22> ???
[07:03] <nanda_> I am running the reconfigure script, is vesa the correct driver for intel chips?
[07:03] <oasisfai> kill firefox pid
[07:04] <nanda_> I am only used to using nvidia before
[07:04] <Otacon22> i can't traduce this sentence in my language
[07:04] <nanda_> intel graphics I mean
[07:04] <jhaig> sparrw: I use one, and I just get it from the program's own website instead of Ubuntu.
[07:04] <oasisfai> ps -aux | egrep firefox
[07:04] <benmayim> define what correctly?
[07:04] <terlmann> try patenting the word " the " for use in sentences as a article adjetive
[07:04] <oasisfai> get the pid firest
[07:04] <oasisfai> get the pid first
[07:04] <LBAWinOwns> beamoo - system -->activity manager
[07:04] <Beamoo> firefox
[07:04] <terlmann> beanmoo
[07:04] <terlmann> sudo killall firefox-bin
[07:04] <terlmann> simple as pie
[07:04] <Some_Person> Is there an mIRC-like app for Ubuntu or should I just keep using WINE?
[07:04] <novato_br> how can I get protect my folders with password on ubuntu?
[07:05] <Beamoo> LBAWinOwns: Where can i find that?
[07:05] <neil_> Some_Person: Try konversation
[07:05] <terlmann> Some_person
[07:05] <Pici> Some_Person: Xchat is quite mirc-like
[07:05] <terlmann> try gaim
[07:05] <terlmann> xchat
[07:05] <reed026> mirana would I make the 100mb partion a mount point for /boot?
[07:05] <terlmann> kirc
[07:05] <Some_Person> I don't like gaim
[07:05] <terlmann> chatzillas
[07:05] <terlmann> chatzilla ?
[07:05] <wick2o> irssi ftw
[07:05] <LBAWinOwns> Beamoo , you might be restricted if your not admin user, but I think it lies in System, tbh I use Vista right now, so I can't see
[07:05] <neil_> Hey guys, believe it or not resuming from suspend FINALLY works in ubuntu if you add the new nvidia drivers! So does VT switching..
[07:05] <neil_> How can we get this added to ubuntu repositories?
[07:06] <Some_Person> i don't like IRC programs embedded in another program (like gaim, chatzilla)
[07:06] <flash> hi there
[07:06] <Pici> neil_: File an enhancement request in launchpad.
[07:06] <flash> look
[07:06] <flash> icant intall things
[07:06] <neil_> Pici: Just want the new nvidia driver to be added thats all, will that do it?
[07:06] <benzs_s> silly question... how do i get my workspace panel back?
[07:06] <Some_Person> I'd also like an iTunes-like app
[07:06] <jhaig> omha: Well, getting compiz to work well in Ubuntu is going to be a job and a half.  Canonical tried to get it into Feisty as a priority and didn't succeed so I would recommend waiting until it is official.
[07:06] <LBAWinOwns> some_person , rhytmbox?
[07:06] <benzs_s> apart from rythmbox?
[07:07] <Pici> Some_Person: amarok
[07:07] <benzs_s> granted rhythmbox crashes a lot
[07:07] <terlmann> hey neil : can you get that working on Ati cards ? lol
[07:07] <Beamoo> oasisfai: it doesnt work :S "kill firefox pid"
[07:07] <Riott> Pici: no, the apt-get command works fine in the terminal, no erros
[07:07] <terlmann> try amarok
[07:07] <benzs_s> banshee is probably better
[07:07] <benzs_s> and looks like itunes
[07:07] <terlmann> exail
[07:07] <terlmann> exaile
[07:07] <terlmann> banshee , yes
[07:07] <Pici> Riott: I meant run `synaptic` from the terminal and look for errors.
[07:07] <Beamoo> where can i find the activity manager?
[07:07] <Pici> neil_: It might, at least it will get logged, you may not see it in feisty though.
[07:07] <oasisfai> kill pid only
[07:08] <Beamoo> oasisfai: pid: arguments must be process or job IDs
[07:08] <Riott> Pici: running synaptic from terminal also does not work
[07:08] <oasisfai> sudo kill <pid number>
[07:08] <Riott> Pici: the synaptic manager still auto crashes on startup
[07:08] <benmayim> Instead of making a linux user have to be in a guru clique to use, why not make it as user friendly as Windows? Not doing that is why so many of us suffer with windows problems instead of switching. Linux, you still have a long way to go, and I'm not sure if you'll make it in my lifetime. I'm not a young whippersnapper with a mind like a sponge. At my age, my mind is more like a sieve.
[07:08] <benmayim> The question is: Do you want Linux to belong to a limited clique of people who would rather brag about how good it is and how much they know, or make it understandable to the average rest of the world?
[07:08] <Pici> Riott: Does it give you an error on the terminal window though?
[07:08] <benzs_s> how do i get my workspace panel back?
[07:09] <bobdraken222> unerstandable to the rest of world, we need to compete with windows and apple
[07:09] <oasisfai> process id
[07:09] <Riott> Pici: yes, I get XML-CRITICAL: document is empty
[07:09] <Beamoo> oasisfai: what is the pid number for firefox then ?
[07:09] <Riott> as well as three other erros
[07:09] <lateau> ps -ef | grep firefox
[07:10] <bobdraken222> im having an issue
[07:10] <bobdraken222> can someone please try to helpe m
[07:10] <bobdraken222> me
[07:10] <kitche> !ask | bobdraken222
[07:10] <MrOtacon> hey guys - when i use shutdown -P or poweroff, my computer just halts and doesnt poweroff - its getting annoying cause i have to pull the power cable out - anyway to fix this?
[07:10] <ubotu> bobdraken222: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:10] <Riott> Pici: start tag expected, '<' not found
[07:10] <bobdraken222> i have compiz installed
[07:10] <chairman> benmayim: I don't think ubuntu is much harder than windows. The problem is that people have tried windows first. And when things are not excatly like windows they give up
[07:10] <Beamoo> oasisfai: how do i get the processnumber for firefox?
[07:10] <bobdraken222> it was all working fine maybe i changed a wrong setting or something i dono but
[07:10] <synic> benmayim: personally, I think people think Windows is user friendly just because they already know it, not because it's designed well.
[07:10] <bobdraken222> i cant change to other desktops
[07:10] <bobdraken222> and the cube isnt working
[07:10] <Riott> Pici: also, libglade-WARNING: did not finish in PARSER_FINISH state synaptic
[07:10] <terlmann> benmayim : learning linux is like leaning to drive. Windows is a bicycle . learn how to use it and you will never go back.
[07:11] <kitche> MrOtacon: shutdown or halt should make your computer power off but your computer also needs to understand acpi
[07:11] <oasisfai> ps -aux | grep firefox
[07:11] <lateau> or
[07:11] <MrOtacon> Beamoo: pgrep firefox
[07:11] <lateau> ps -ef | grep firefox
[07:11] <terlmann> however linux is really primarily for geeks
[07:11] <Riott> Pici: after, it says Aborted (core dumped)
[07:11] <terlmann> BEanoo !
[07:11] <bobdraken222> not anyomre terl... ubunut is very user friendly
[07:11] <terlmann> run sudo killall firefox-bin
[07:11] <kitche> Riott: ok you should have a core someplace on your system
[07:11] <bobdraken222> and can compete with windows and apple
[07:11] <lateau> try it Beamoo.
[07:11] <terlmann> It is friendly
[07:11] <MrOtacon> kitche: when i choose shutdown from the shutdown menu - it powers off though
[07:11] <bobdraken222> who me terl? me run kill bin
[07:11] <bobdraken222> ?
[07:11] <kitche> MrOtacon: yes which it should do
[07:11] <terlmann> however ubuntu is not Linux
[07:12] <bobdraken222> i can switch between desktops :  (
[07:12] <MrOtacon> kitche: i want to make a cron job to shutdown at a cetain time - but it doesnt power off when i use the commands poweroff and shutdown -P
[07:12] <kitche> MrOtacon: think shutdown -P might be just halt and not shutdown
[07:12] <bobdraken222> and my cube isnt working
[07:12] <bobdraken222> how is ubuntu not linux
[07:12] <MrOtacon> kitche: poweroff doesn't work either
[07:12] <Riott> Kitche: sorry, could you be more specific, I am not very familiar with the finer points of linux
[07:12] <kitche> MrOtacon: so just issue the command shutdown or halt
[07:12] <terlmann> try gentto
[07:12] <terlmann> gentoo
[07:12] <bobdraken222> anyone have any idea what i could do
[07:12] <terlmann> or LFS
[07:12] <benmayim> chairman, that's not the problem.  I had to spend hours searching the web just to finally find the command to install the ubuntu desktop. How are people familiar with windows supposed to know a command like: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop even exists, and then it's one problem after another. I don't feel like taking the rest of my life to completely relearn everything on my computer.
[07:12] <hub|ankebut> I will start a new Projekt
[07:12] <kitche> Riott: since it says core dumped you should havea  core in your home dir
[07:12] <terlmann> and call this linux
[07:12] <terlmann> this is linux on training wheels
[07:13] <wotanist> Hi, in Add/Remove applications, it says that BitTorrent is installed but I don't see it under Applications. How do I run it?
[07:13] <MrOtacon> kitche: it stays on though - just halted.. i need it to powerdown at certain times
[07:13] <bobdraken222> anyone?
[07:13] <Hor|zon> terlmann, so your argument is that some distros are not user friendly so linux as a whole isn't?
[07:13] <terlmann> this is linux for noobs and pple who dont know how to fix their own computer
[07:13] <Hor|zon> great logic
[07:13] <kitche> MrOtacon: then it's an issue with acpi on your computer
[07:13] <hns> MrOtacon: shutdown - now
[07:13] <terlmann> not the linux some will find
[07:13] <Hor|zon> meh terlmann's just a troll
[07:13] <chairman> benmayim: why did you need to run apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. Usually you can just insert the cd and choose install
[07:13] <Riott> Kitche: there is a file called ".udpate-manager-core" in my home directory
[07:13] <synic> terlmann: that's just stupid.  I've been using Linux for 9 years.  I'm a professional programmer.  I don't think Ubuntu is for n00bs.
[07:13] <MrOtacon> kitche: it weorks fine with winblows thjo
[07:13] <terlmann> so have I
[07:13] <hns> MrOtacon: shutdown -h now
[07:13] <kitche> Riott: that might be it
[07:13] <terlmann> your not a noob
[07:13] <terlmann> duh!
[07:13] <kitche> MrOtacon: umm winblows is a game not an operating system :P
[07:14] <MrOtacon> hns: it just makes it halt - i tried and -P
[07:14] <terlmann> your a freaking programmer
[07:14] <hub|ankebut> he synic i start a new Projekt and i need programmers....
[07:14] <benmayim> chairman, not with ubuntu server, and it didn't even install the LAMP server.
[07:14] <bobdraken222> what??? ubuntu is the distro of choice for n00bs
[07:14] <terlmann> is your mom a programmer ?
[07:14] <wick2o> anyone here familer with edgy?
[07:14] <bobdraken222> is user friendly
[07:14] <MrOtacon> kitche: :P
[07:14] <linuxftw> How would I go setting up a network with Ubuntu, where when a user could login as themselves on any machine on the network, and have access to all their files?
[07:14] <benmayim> nor did it have a desktop.
[07:14] <synic> terlmann: wow, follow your own conversation.  Maybe less beer would help.
[07:14] <terlmann> I am
[07:14] <r00tintheb0x> wick2o no, no one is.
[07:14] <bobdraken222> anyone know what i can try, my desktops arnt working
[07:14] <Riott> Kitche: what should I do with this core in order to fix my synaptic manager problem ?
[07:14] <MrOtacon> !info samba | linuxftm
[07:14] <ubotu> linuxftm: samba: a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.24-2ubuntu1.2 (feisty), package size 3262 kB, installed size 7992 kB
[07:14] <bobdraken222> i cant switch to others and my cubue isnt working
[07:14] <r00tintheb0x> lol sunic
[07:14] <packeterr0r> sup nyukkaz
[07:14] <MrOtacon> !info smbfs | linuxftm
[07:14] <chairman> benmayim: I haven't tried ubuntu server yet. but that is probably true. But then again you shouldn't have installed ubuntu server if you was going to use the desktop
[07:14] <ubotu> linuxftm: smbfs: mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than 2.2.x). In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.24-2ubuntu1.2 (feisty), package size 416 kB, installed size 972 kB
[07:14] <jhaig> linuxftw: You need NFS
[07:14] <kitche> Riott: get gdb and run it on the core and pastebin it
[07:15] <bobdraken222> kitche: any idea?
[07:15] <hub|ankebut> synic
[07:15] <terlmann> the typical user finds ubuntu usable , goes exploring , finds trouble. oops , that means linux is unusable , sorry , goodbye !!
[07:15] <benmayim> chairman, I want and need both.
[07:15] <jhaig> linuxftw: And something for authentication, such as NIS or LDAP.
[07:15] <roottoor> How do I setup my server to email logs to me at my gmail account ?
[07:15] <synic> hub|ankebut: I'm already pretty busy with my own projects.
[07:15] <bobdraken222> terlmann: thats true
[07:15] <terlmann> someone recommends them suse or gentoo and they freaking curl up into a fetal ball
[07:15] <kitche> roottoor: make a cron job with sendmail
[07:15] <hub|ankebut> okay :)
[07:15] <bobdraken222> terlmann: do you have any idea what i can try.. to fix this issue
[07:16] <terlmann> bobdraken
[07:16] <synic> terlmann: and that makes gentoo more 'linux' than Ubuntu?
[07:16] <bobdraken222> terlmann: yes
[07:16] <kitche> bobdraken222: what do you mean your desktops not working
[07:16] <terlmann> all special effects are buggy and are a memory hog
[07:16] <terlmann> xorg is a memory dianasour
[07:16] <roottoor> kitche: do I have to have DNS setup as well ?
[07:16] <synic> ok, nevermind.  Obviously a troll.
[07:16] <bobdraken222> i click on 2, 3 4th desktop it doesnt switch over.. and my cube isnt working in compiz  ctrl alt left does nothing
[07:16] <terlmann> turn them off and just use it
[07:16] <kitche> roottoor: not really
[07:16] <AusME> Where is nautilus's configuration file kept?
[07:16] <bobdraken222> i cant switch to others
[07:16] <terlmann> turn off compiz
[07:16] <Pici> Riott: This might be able to help you, I'm not really sure what is causing this.  You can file a bug report on launchpad if you wish though.  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-448112.html
[07:17] <bobdraken222> terlmann: and then turn it back on?
[07:17] <pupeno_> I am having a problem. Both of my Kubuntu notebooks strugle to get an IP from a three different DHCP servers. I'd say something is wrong here, and not the servers. I believe that when I get the IP, the eth0:avahi interface is not created. Any ideas?
[07:17] <Some_Person> Why won't anyone help me in #Ubuntu-Effects?
[07:17] <terlmann> no
[07:17] <alexou_>  hello, how to deplace my screen on the left with xorg.conf driver ati ?
[07:17] <chairman> benmayin: if you want a server release then you can't complain on how hard it is. It's always harder and more complicated to install a server than a desktop
[07:17] <terlmann> forget the cube
[07:17] <bobdraken222> terlmann: why? would you sugest berly
[07:17] <terlmann> no
[07:17] <bobdraken222> terlmann: then what should i use
[07:17] <Pici> AusME: somewhere in ~/.nautilus/
[07:17] <terlmann> compiz is better than beryl , yes
[07:17] <bobdraken222> terlmann: for eye candy
[07:17] <alexou>  hello, how to deplace my screen on the left with xorg.conf driver ati ?
[07:17] <terlmann> why do you need eye candy ?

[07:20] <benzs_s> so i'm using this compiz thing on feisty, and i can't find where i can a) add workspaces, and b) switch to them using a keyboard shortcut
[07:20] <benzs_s> the vanilla method doesn't seem to work
[07:20] <benzs_s> well
[07:21] <Some_Person> I'm having a small problem with Beryl on Ubuntu. Can anyone help me?
[07:21] <wols_> !beryl | ubotu
[07:21] <ubotu> ubotu: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[07:21] <wols_> !beryl | Some_Person
[07:21] <ubotu> Some_Person: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[07:21] <ericrw> benzs_s, you can configure those things, although the basic configuration program in Feisty is pretty limited.
[07:21] <benzs_s> if i click workspace 2 for example i lose all my taskbars and can't switch back to the main one :D
[07:21] <kitche> benzs_s: are you using gnome with compiz?
[07:21] <ericrw> normally, I think the shortcut is alt-ctrl left and alt-ctrl right
[07:21] <Some_Person> Every once in a while on Beryl the titlebar of the window turns all white
[07:22] <benzs_s> 'gl desktop'?
[07:22] <Gonzalo> ayuda en espaol, Thanks
[07:22] <benzs_s> ok ericrw let's see
[07:22] <kitche> !es | Gonzalo
[07:22] <ubotu> Gonzalo: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[07:22] <ericrw> Some_Person, try setting 'indirect rendering' and/or 'use cow'
[07:22] <benzs_s> hm didn't go anywhere
[07:22] <Some_Person> Rolling over the Min/Max/Close buttons usually gets it back to normal, but sometimes i have to switch to another window and switch back to bring it back to normal
[07:23] <benzs_s> ctrl+alt+up is pretty cool though
[07:23] <nomas> how can i install java ?
[07:23] <benzs_s> er, anyway
[07:23] <kitche> nomas: on feisty?
[07:23] <miramana> !java | nomas
[07:23] <ubotu> nomas: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[07:23] <Bllz> Anybody know how to sync an ipod to my amarok collection?
[07:23] <administrator> I have a problem with my second HDD, theres a lost+found folder in it (with an x on the folder) that I can't delete nor can I add stuff to this drive its under media
[07:23] <Some_Person> ericrw: Where are those settings?
[07:24] <ericrw> Some_Person, in beryl, you can set it in beryl-manager
[07:24] <nomas> look, the problem its that yesterday i installed frostwire , but when i click doesnt appear nothing
[07:24] <Some_Person> oh
[07:24] <ericrw> (the ruby icon in the notification area)
[07:24] <kitche> administrator: sudo and lost+found needs to be on the drive for journaling to work right on it
[07:24] <ericrw> Some_Person, if you're using compiz, you can speicfy command line options
[07:24] <Some_Person> I'm not using compiz
[07:25] <administrator> @ kitche how do I do that? Can I do it through a GUI?
[07:25] <Some_Person> Setting Use Cow made it worse
[07:25] <lmosher> What's a good GUI FTP/SFTP program?
[07:25] <Some_Person> Where is the indirect one? I can't find it
[07:25] <ericrw> Some_Person, if you're running beryl manually in some wya, you can use the same options ....  --indirect-rendering --use-cow ,etc
[07:25] <effie_jayx> @lart effie_jayx
[07:25] <oasisfai> filezilla
[07:25] <Some_Person> I am running it manually
[07:25] <kitche> administrator: yes but fi yuo want users to be allowed to put files there might want to look at umask or dmask or fmask
[07:26] <ericrw> --indirect-rendering
[07:26] <Some_Person> Where is the GUI option for it in beryl-manager?
[07:26] <administrator> @ How do I do that? I'm linux noob what are those? This drive is freshly formatted using ext-3
[07:26] <nomas> the problem its that yesterday i installed frostwire , but when i click doesnt appear nothing
[07:26] <ericrw> advanced beryle options -> rendering
[07:26] <nomas> what can i do ?
[07:27] <Bllz> how do i sync an ipod to amarok?
[07:27] <Some_Person> That didn't fix it
[07:27] <kitche> !permissions
[07:27] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[07:27] <Aladin> can I install a gdm theme per command (for scripting)?
[07:27] <Some_Person> It just made it worse and made my sound go choppy for some reason
[07:27] <raf256> --use-cow? lol
[07:27] <bobdraken222> i can turn off compiz and my dekstops work... but i turn it back on and they dont move to other desktops.. i think i messed up a setting but i cant find wich one
[07:27] <kitche> administrator: you want the Filepermissions one then go to the volume permission on that page
[07:28] <bobdraken222> so any idea what i should do
[07:28] <rustalot> how do I install the build deps for pidgin?

[07:30] <finalbeta> Grub comes up so fast, I can't boot from my Windows CD rom. Can I make grub wait for a CD? The CD drive is first in the boot order.

[07:30] <xRainbows> hello, how can convert wma to mp3 ?
[07:30] <Some_Person> Beryl just crashed
[07:31] <Shamail> anybody here got hands on OBEX-FS???
[07:31] <benzs_s> xrainbow, google is your friend ;)
[07:31] <Some_Person> I had to killall it in CTRL+F2
[07:31] <miramana> finalbeta, are sure your CD has 'master' switch on?
[07:31] <speaker219> AlexC: do "killall gnome-panel" and it will go away
[07:31] <kitche> AlexC_: killall it
[07:31] <AlexC_> speaker219: oh it's part of gnome-panel?
[07:31] <Shamail> xRainbows, u can do it bu using mplayer and lame combinely
[07:31] <administrator> @ kitche so in xterm whats command to change file permissions?
[07:31] <kantlivelong> I have an AC97 sound motherboard. it has 3 onboard jacks, if i enable 6.1 then all 3 are enabled and mic/linein cant be used. however i have internal connectors for front IO panel. if i were to use them for micin/line in would thye  act as mic in / line in?
[07:31] <zpc9999> 
[07:31] <xRainbows> thanx Shamail

[07:32] <kitche> administrator: umm well if it's a seperate drive you can sudo cp files over to it or start programs with gksu if you are using the gui that needs access to that drive
[07:32] <pupeno_> Something is really wrong here, I am able to ping the nameservers, but not query them for names... but while pinging them I don't see anything at all in the tcpdump and when I cancell it I see: 1 packets captured, 495 packets received by filter, 148 packets dropped by kernel... why packets dropped by filter? I don't have any iptables rules.
[07:32] <speaker219> AlexC, yes, just killall gnome-panel and the fish will be gone, but gnome-panel will restart itself
[07:32] <finalbeta> miramana: with another CD it does boot from the CD. But you have to be damn fast to press a key. With this one, I know the CD is good, the reader reads it, yet it wont boot from it. It only waits like a second and justmoves on
[07:32] <kitche> administrator: but if you want you can chown the mount point which is not really recommended if you want to make it easier
[07:32] <AlexC_> speaker219: thanks man! .... I miss Wanda now =(

[07:34] <alecw1> I need a ZIP archive program that supports password protection. Are there any for Ubuntu?
[07:34] <rustalot> I'm using kubuntu, and while I was trying to change the screen resolution, I accidentaly messed up the hw settings. I got them fixed, but beryl would make all the windows & the KDE bar flat grey.
[07:35] <rustalot> so then I did sudo apt-get remove --purge beryl beryl-manager emerald-themes && sudo apt-get install beryl beryl-manager emerald-themes
[07:35] <circ> We solved it. adding live vga=771 in grub line did it.
[07:35] <rustalot> but it still doesn't work
[07:35] <Shamail> zip utility have pass protection
[07:35] <Some_Person> Damn beryl

[07:37] <NET||abuse> Shamail, and i'm trying to convince some of them that a Linux desktop (especially a compiz-fusion one) is a good idea :)

[07:38] <nomas> and how can i install bittorrent ? jejeje
[07:38] <he_tech> how can I set up a NIC to DHCP in terminal?
[07:38] <magnetron> *help you, Cyber_Stalker
[07:38] <Shamail> then your zip file must be corrupted
[07:38] <administrator> kitche, sudo chmod = media/disk  doesn't work
[07:38] <Cyber_Stalker> wont work
[07:38] <persica> he_tech: Single time or for every boot?

[07:38] <magnetron> !repeat | he_tech
[07:38] <Cyber_Stalker> as in if you try browse or do anything form that machine

[07:40] <omha> nomas, http://thepiratebay.org and apt-get install bittornado-gui
[07:40] <persica> he_tech: check the dhclient manpage.  You'll want something like "dhclient -e -pf /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases eth0"
[07:40] <persica> cion: probably did something wrong.  What command did you use to create the archive?
[07:40] <Shamail> cion, what types of files were there in the backup
[07:40] <persica> cion: unless your files are all zeroes or something...

[07:41] <Cyber_Stalker> im going to try some thing with dns
[07:41] <Cyber_Stalker> i think its not resolving
[07:41] <Some_Person> I'm thinking my Beryl problem might be cause by the GTK window manager and not Beryl
[07:41] <Shamail> then its not possible

[07:42] <Fable> um i have some usr files of azureus that i want to get rid of but permission denied keep keeps poping up
[07:43] <persica> cion: if it's all one folder you might try 'tar zcvf mybackup.tar.gz backupdir', which will put all of backupdir in backup.tar.gz
[07:43] <Fable> how can i delete all of azureus' files
[07:43] <magnetron> Fable: uninstall it with Synaptic?
[07:43] <Cyber_Stalker> magnetron i had to add the dns servers
[07:43] <Cyber_Stalker> in the network tools :D
[07:43] <persica> Fable: what are the permissions on the files?  Is Azureus running?
[07:43] <magnetron> Cyber_Stalker: ok, problem solved then?
[07:43] <rinky3> does ubuntu have no cli email client installed by default?
[07:43] <cion> persica: ok thx

[07:43] <persica> rinky3: try typing "mail"
[07:44] <Fable> please help
[07:44] <rinky3> mail: command not found :(
[07:44] <nomas> omha and thats all ?
[07:44] <rinky3> thought "mail" would be on every distro, but alas
[07:44] <persica> rinky3: are you trying to get local mail or remote mail?
[07:44] <magnetron> !please | Fable
[07:44] <ubotu> Fable: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience
[07:44] <persica> rinky3: it usually only comes when you install a local mail server like postfix or sendmail.
[07:44] <rinky3> persica: I want to send mail to another user on the system
[07:44] <omha> nomas, yep
[07:44] <persica> rinky3: do you have exim4 or sendmail installed?
[07:45] <Fable> thanks
[07:45] <rinky3> persica: I have not installed them, are they part of ubuntu 6.06?
[07:45] <persica> rinky3: or postfix?  Look for a script with that name in /etc/init.d/
[07:45] <mark_> hello all < noob here :)
[07:45] <persica> rinky3: I'm not sure.  I believe exim4 is default in Debian, but that Ubuntu took it out.  I have postfix installed, but I forget if that was default.
[07:46] <rinky3> I dont have exim4 sendmail or postfix in my /etc/init.d/, but I will look into all of them, thanks persica
[07:46] <mark_> could anyone point me in the right direction for some ATi 8500 drivers for Ubuntu 7.04. Ive tried the ATis off the site but they dont work :(
[07:46] <channel200> problem with my desktop: volumes, trash and background picture suddenly not displaying. can anyone offer a suggestion?
[07:47] <kitche> mark_: umm that only works with the ati driver now
[07:47] <persica> rinky3: no problem.
[07:47] <mark_> #kitche : what with the ATi driver off their site?
[07:47] <persica> channel200: have you logged out and logged in since this happened?  I'm guessing the program responsible for managing your desktop isn't running or had an error.
[07:48] <kitche> mark_: the ati driver of xorg
[07:48] <Fable> how do i remove /usr files
[07:48] <channel200> persica: yes
[07:48] <pvh> I'm looking for a way to automatically connect to any open wireless network and then execute a script. Can anyone make any recommendations?
[07:48] <persica> channel200: what window manager are you using?
[07:48] <kitche> Fable: sudo rm /path/to/files/ but you shouldn't touch /usr really only /usr/local/
[07:48] <mark_> #kitche : ahh ok, im guessing that one thats built in?
[07:48] <b08y> hey yo guys, how can i use "find" so that it doesnt display all files, just the files it found
[07:49] <kitche> mark_: yeah it's the native driver
[07:49] <channel200> persica: metacity
[07:49] <kitche> mark_: since I believe fglrx only suppors 98xx and some x's right now
[07:49] <persica> bo8y: it only displays things it found.  You should look into adding more filters such as -type and -name.
[07:49] <channel200> persica: am I at the right level when I say metacity is my window manager?
[07:49] <Some_Person> Whats the run command command in ubuntu?
[07:49] <persica> b08y: have you read the manpage?
[07:49] <kitche> Some_Person: umm either ./ or sh
[07:49] <mezziah> Some_Person: alt+f2
[07:50] <b08y> persica, yeah, but there wasnt the fiting option
[07:50] <Some_Person> alt+f2, thank you
[07:50] <b08y> persica, or i didnt find it
[07:50] <persica> channel200: I believe metacity is part of Gnome, and usually people would refer to the whole Gnome project when they talk about their WM.
[07:50] <mark_> #kitche : ty, the trouble is, its not the best driver. Normally crashes the machine if I run 3d acc prog/game. I have a Nvidia Geforce 3 ti200 and i tried that and just installed the restrictive driver and worked perfectly
[07:50] <persica> b08y: what are you trying to find?
[07:50] <Fable> kitche: yeah the path is /usr/share/app-install/icons/Azureus.png
[07:50] <WantSomeHelp> something problem with my grub .. i m using fiestyfawn. And i m new i dont know how to fix it.. i have Ubuntu And WindowsXP. when i boot my computer. there is something Error 17 there. can someone help me? how to fix it?
[07:50] <channel200> persica: running Fiesty with the default version of Gnome
[07:50] <kitche> mark_: yeah anyways ati support is horrible in linux
[07:51] <tek-ops> Anyone know why my kickstart install keeps resulting is aptitude being defunct on installing the 14th or 15th package?
[07:51] <persica> channel200: try restarting nautilus?
[07:51] <b08y> persica, well files that fit some paramters, or names
[07:51] <b08y> persica, but from console
[07:51] <Riott> Pici: thank you for your help, I got my synaptic manager to work again
[07:51] <Riott> Pici: i simply uninstalled the synaptic manager using apt, and then reinstalled it
[07:51] <mark_> #kitche : ok, ty for your help. the 8500 is the better card out the two but ill put the geforce 3 in. Would the 9700 be supported or is it only the 9800?
[07:52] <omeg1> .
[07:52] <persica>  b08y: like find /usr -name 'libc*' -perm /111?
[07:52] <kitche> mark_: not sure sicne I don't look at ati much on Linux anymore
[07:52] <Fable> it wont let me delete /usr/local
[07:52] <b08y> persica, the manual only describes that search and the search paramters but no options about display or output
[07:52] <Fable> crap
[07:52] <omeg1> I need to monitor IM traffic at the office, can anyone suggest a package that does this?

[07:53] <persica> b08y: the action is -print by default.
[07:53] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:53] <mezziah> Fable: well, you could try reinstalling the program without removing it first
[07:53] <Luc_Aylesbury> Hi folks, I've got a weird problem with cron. Basically I execute /etc/rc2.d/S89cron start but no cron instance is spawned :(

[07:53] <Fable> ok
[07:53] <persica> b08y: ah, you need to tell it what to look for, you're not specifying it right.  Yry "find . -name *.png"
[07:53] <mezziah> Fable: for removing files outside of your home directory you need sudo rights, but it's not recommended to delete random stuff

[07:54] <Fable> i used konsole to get azureus 3
[07:54] <channel200> persica: running "nautilus -q" didn't do anything. Any other suggestions?
[07:54] <Fable> but it didnt work out
[07:54] <mezziah> Fable: do you still have the directory where you compiled azureus?
[07:54] <WantSomeHelp> sebastian: so u fixed ?
[07:54] <sebastian> And I solved it by installing windows xp and linux on diffrent disks
[07:54] <persica> b08y: if you're using a shell that expands wildcards before execution then you'll have to put the '*.png' part in quotes or escape the *.
[07:54] <Fable> so i am sticking with 2.5

[07:54] <b0ha> hello!
[07:54] <b0ha> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27299/
[07:54] <mezziah> Fable: hmm, nevermind then. try reinstalling without changing any files outside of your home directory.
[07:54] <b0ha> can anyone help me
[07:54] <WantSomeHelp> sebastian: thats not the way..
[07:55] <persica> b08y: find is basically 'find <paths> <search criterion> <actions>'.  Everything but the path starts with a -.
[07:55] <Fable> ok
[07:55] <persica> channel200: hrm... I'm not sure.
[07:55] <sebastian> WantSomeHelp, I couldn't solve my problem any other way..
[07:55] <persica> channel200: I think nautilus is the program that manages the desktop in gnome.
[07:55] <b08y> persica, well i know what you mean, but its not what i will have. e.g. i wanna display alle files that match *.png then i make "find . *.png | less" it prints alle files, and only the last lines are the ones that are files with *.png
[07:56] <Luc_Aylesbury> !repeat
[07:56] <Fable> whats the difference between azureus and azureus-gcj
[07:56] <mark_> Whats everyone running ram wise for Ubuntu ?
[07:56] <ubotu> 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
[07:56] <persica> b08y: everything between 'find' and the first '-' are considered pathnames.  You are asking it to list all files in . and in *.png.
[07:56] <mezziah> WantSomeHelp: does the error message appear when you start grub or windows?
[07:57] <persica> b08y: to make it filter by the second expression you have to tell it what sort of a filter expression it is, e.g. -name for an case-sensitive. name match or -iname for a case-insensitive match.
[07:57] <channel200> persica: it is. simply executing "nautilus" brought the desktop back up. thks.
[07:57] <persica> b08y: so try 'find . -name *.png'
[07:57] <WantSomeHelp> mezziah:  yes it appears
[07:57] <persica> channel200: weet.  you're welcome.
[07:57] <b08y> persica, ahhhhhh, i c
[07:57] <b0ha> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27299/
[07:57] <b0ha> anyone?
[07:57] <mezziah> WantSomeHelp: yes, sure. but when? when you try to load windows or does it *always* appear?
[07:57] <persica> b08y: Find is a bit confusing, but once you get to know it it is very powerful.
[07:58] <b08y> persica, find . -name '*.png'
[07:58] <b08y> i used that
[07:58] <WantSomeHelp> mezziah:  i m using ubuntu grub.
[07:58] <wols_> b0ha: what version of ubuntu?
[07:58] <Riott> using the ubuntu desktop effects option, I can not get the cube workspace option to work
[07:58] <b08y> persica, that worked fine for me,
[07:58] <WantSomeHelp> mezziah: computer not going to start.. when grub trying to open the error screen comes
[07:58] <Riott> it worked for a while, then I turned the desktop effects of, and then when I turned the desktop effects back on, the cube effect stoped working
[07:58] <Riott> any idea on how to fix that
[07:58] <mezziah> WantSomeHelp: could you please paste your entire /boot/grub/menu.list ?
[07:58] <Fable> whats the difference between azureus and azureus-gcj?
[07:58] <mezziah> !pastebin | WantSomeHelp
[07:58] <ubotu> WantSomeHelp: 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)
[07:58] <tek-ops> anyone here work with kickstart before?
[07:58] <persica> b08y: that's what I usually use.  I know zsh expands the * before passing it to find, but find needs the * passed directly to it so you have either put a backslash in front or use single quotes.
[07:58] <WantSomeHelp> sure i can.
[07:58] <b0ha> wols_: dapper
[07:58] <Some_Person> how do i restart x?
[07:58] <Riott> anyone know how to get the ubuntu desktop cube effect to work
[07:58] <mezziah> thanks, then i could check it.
[07:58] <persica> b08y: great.  Read up on the manpage for other neat things you can do with it.
[07:59] <persica> Some_Person: Try ctrl+alt+backspace.
[07:59] <b0ha> wols_: i installed ntfs-3g before
[07:59] <WantSomeHelp> mezziah: let me paste it.
[07:59] <Luc_Aylesbury> Some_Person, switch to a virtual terminal and type /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:59] <b0ha> and now i get this error
[07:59] <knightwse> hey everyone
[07:59] <kitche> Some_Person: either sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart or ctrl+alt+backspace but that can kill your X
[07:59] <b08y> persica, jeah i know there are some nice search kriteries
[07:59] <knightwse> I got a little SMBFS problem , could someone take a look at this ?

[08:00] <mezziah> wait a moment
[08:01] <sirbob> how do you mount an nfs drive on ubuntu?
[08:01] <lamalex> edit your fstab
[08:01] <knightwse> no , its a shared folder on my mac ,
[08:01] <knightwse> Lamalex , I did that
[08:01] <knightwse> i tried using smbfs and cifs
[08:01] <lamalex> sirbob: 10.2.2.36:/usr/local/iso        /media/Iso      nfs     soft    0       0
[08:01] <knightwse> but it says its the wrong filesystem on both accounts
[08:01] <Fable> Roitt: uncheck everything but cude
[08:01] <lamalex> that's a line form my fstab
[08:02] <mezziah> looks pretty complete.
[08:02] <Thorburn> Sorry for the newbie question. I've got a fresh Ubuntu install with Samba installed but the system can't ping other machines on the network by name, only by IP address. Other machines can't resolve the machines name either. Anyone able to help?
[08:02] <knightwse> yeah , buts its a mac share
[08:02] <sirbob> can you do it from the GUI?
[08:02] <knightwse> Yep Sirbob i can
[08:02] <knightwse> thats the funny part !
[08:02] <sirbob> how?
[08:02] <knightwse> but i dont know how to acces it from the filesystem when i mount it using the guy
[08:02] <knightwse> giu
[08:02] <knightwse> GUI
[08:03] <lamalex> just navigate to /etc/fstab and right click, open then edit
[08:03] <knightwse> places / connect to server/windows share
[08:03] <knightwse> Lamalex  : got it open
[08:04] <lamalex> knightwise: can you mount nfs from connect to server?
[08:04] <knightwse> /192.168.123.3/system /media/system cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,dmask=777,fmask=777  0    0
[08:04] <knightwse> i'll see
[08:04] <knightwse> holdon
[08:04] <mmcji> can I use postfix to send outbound mail only from my webserver without having a domain?
[08:04] <lamalex> i don't think you can
[08:05] <knightwse> lama ? i cant choose NFS when i go through the guy
[08:05] <knightwse> gui
[08:05] <WantSomeHelp> mezziah:  any idea how to fix that grub ?
[08:05] <knightwse> only windows shares and ssh and stuff
[08:05] <lamalex> yah
[08:05] <mmcji> ie..i would be using only localhost
[08:05] <lamalex> nfs would be a good thing to add ther
[08:05] <WantSomeHelp> mezziah: sorry got d/c...
[08:05] <lamalex> might file a bug on that later
[08:05] <WantSomeHelp> mezziah:  so any idea how to fix grub again ? with old setting?
[08:06] <mezziah> WantSomeHelp: looks like it's windows' fault, your menu.list seems to be complete.
[08:07] <mezziah> WantSomeHelp: you could also try entering the exact error message in google.
[08:07] <knightwse> hm , when i put nfs in the .fstab as fielsystem it says this : directory to mount not in host:dir format
[08:07] <sirbob> how do I add my username and password to that?
[08:07] <WantSomeHelp> mezziah: so anyhow i can recover or install my grub with old setting
[08:07] <carsten77> i would like to install wireshark, but "sudo apt-get install wireshark" doesnt find a package. what is the correct package name?
[08:07] <WantSomeHelp> mezziah:  there is "Error 17" message.
[08:07] <mmcji> ethereal
[08:08] <ubuntu> hey guys i have a serious problem.....letme explain... I installed kubuntu (setting up a home server) and removed some things, then I tried to launch terminal and it blacked out screen, went to this black log screen then I went to login screen. I figured I screwed something up  unisntalling packages etc. so I decided to reinstall. So I open live CD and to test terminal see if it would work,...
[08:08] <mmcji> apt-get install ethereal
[08:08] <ubuntu> ...click it and SAME thing happens in this live CD enviorment. So now I know its a problem with my computer, how I find out wtf is wrong?
[08:08] <lamalex> knightwise: paste your line from /etc/fstab
[08:08] <mmcji> that will give you wireshark
[08:08] <carsten77> mmcji, but i thought that ethereal is the OLD version?
[08:08] <mezziah> WantSomeHelp: well, yes, you can reinstall grub,... and about your error 17 message, ask google, i bet many other persons had that error before
[08:08] <Solid> hi, is there anyone here that made pcsx2 work on ubuntu?
[08:08] <mmcji> might be, i just installed ethereal last week and got wireshartk

[08:13] <knightwse> wols : when i do it through the gui it works fine
[08:13] <wols_> knightwse: then all that is wrong is your options field. no dmask, no fmask

[08:15] <ubuntu> Can I try memtest within the live CD?
[08:15] <mark_> ^^agreed, most errors are within 5 mins, however ive seen it before with an hour
[08:15] <cwillu> clouder`grr: what's going on?
[08:16] <Tomcat_> ubuntu: Not within, but the LiveCD can do memtest.
[08:16] <mark_> #ubuntu : Yeh, boot from live cd, mem test
[08:16] <neverblue> once I edit crontab, the effects take hold immediately?
[08:16] <ubuntu> OK so I'l reboot and do memtest and report back here
[08:16] <Tomcat_> neverblue: Yes.

[08:19] <xange> anybody know of a util that I can use the share my clipboard w/my PowerBook?
[08:20] <persica> sirbob: you don't enter a username and password with NFS in general.
[08:20] <WantSomeHelp> tarzeau:  no i think there is something problem with partition mapping its not find menu.lst
[08:20] <cwillu> clouder`grr: hmm
[08:20] <cwillu> clouder`grr: anything else plugged into the usb ports, or firewire, etc?
[08:20] <sirbob> persica: It says the server said "permission denied"
[08:20] <clouder`grr> now lsusb is giving me nothing on mouse
[08:20] <neverblue> where would crontab errors appear?
[08:20] <Tomcat_> neverblue: Check syslog... it should tell.
[08:20] <persica> sirbob: NFS traditionally just acts like a normal file system and permissions are enforced based on the user/group id.
[08:20] <WantSomeHelp> tarzeau:  i m using ubuntu grub
[08:20] <tarzeau> WantSomeHelp: what filesystem ?
[08:20] <ComputinChuck> xange, you could look at Synergy, it's a software KVM that i think does share the clipboard
[08:20] <cwillu> clouder`grr: I'd check dmesg and see if anything unusual shows up
[08:21] <persica> sirbob: That may be that the file system isn't being exported to your host.  How is the NFS host setup?
[08:21] <WantSomeHelp> tarzeau:  ext3
[08:21] <tarzeau> WantSomeHelp: you installed ubuntu last or rh?
[08:21] <WantSomeHelp> tarzeau:  ya i install ubuntu last.

[08:21] <neverblue> Tomcat_, which syslog?
[08:21] <clouder`grr> ok, the mouse came back now.  I guess it just detected it.  It's still not very responsive though
[08:22] <cwillu> clouder`grr: ya, something isn't right, it should be live again almost instantaneously
[08:22] <WantSomeHelp> tarzeau:  all thingys working fine yesterday i just checking partition magic on windows i didn't done anything wrong. but when i reboot my pc the problem appears.
[08:22] <sirbob> persica: I am not sure, but this works from the SUSE gui

[08:22] <sirbob> does linux have such a thing?
[08:22] <cwillu> clouder`grr: other than vmplayer, has there been any changes since you last rebooted?
[08:22] <sirbob> s/linux/ubuntu/ *
[08:22] <clouder`grr> nope

[08:23] <neverblue> but it didnt do the command?
[08:23] <persica> sirbob: on the host, what is the export line for that share, i.e. in the /etc/exports file?
[08:23] <NET||abuse> Can anyone help me make some deb's for kiba-dock.. i'm trying to use dh_make and it's proving awkward.. but i could use a little bit of direction :)
[08:23] <clouder`grr> cwillu: I'll brb, I rebooted with my ipod still plugged in, and I've never done that before.  Going to try to reboot without it plugged in
[08:23] <persica> sirbob: NFS is often limited by IP address and the most common reason for getting permission denied is that the NFS server isn't allowing a connection from your IP for that share.
[08:24] <cwillu> clouder`grr: ya, give that a shot

[08:25] <trantrung46> co ai la nguoi viet nam khong
[08:25] <persica> sirbob: alright, type "share" on the solaris host.  what does it say for the path you want to get to?
[08:25] <ben21224> there is none
[08:26] <cwillu> ben21224: was there before ever?

[08:27] <cwillu> clouder`grr: hmm, still kinda weird though
[08:27] <cwillu> oh well
[08:28] <clouder`grr> cwillu: agreed
[08:28] <cwillu> clouder`grr: sounds like udev might have been caught in a loop or something trying to create the devices for the ipod, but that's just speculation

[08:29] <cwillu> ben21224: can you reboot the cd, and then when the boot menu comes up, select the option to verify the cd image
[08:29] <persica> sirbob: oh? What was it?
[08:29] <faemir> can someone please tell me the packages i need to install on ubuntu desktop edition for LAMP?
[08:30] <wols_> !lamp | faemir
[08:30] <ubotu> faemir: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[08:30] <cwillu> clouder`grr: I guess one thing you could try another time is restarting udev (sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart I think, but it might just be stop udev; start udev)
[08:30] <ben21224> ok i will try that
[08:30] <cwillu> ben21224: it's a 7.04 cd?
[08:31] <cwillu> ubuntu, not xubuntu or kubuntu?
[08:31] <ben21224> yes
[08:31] <cwillu> k
[08:31] <clouder`grr> cwillu: alright, I'll keep that in mind if I ever forget to unplug.  I rarely reboot though.  Thanks for the help!
[08:34] <jrattner> Question: Where are the breezy repos?

[08:35] <god_> karak:audacity
[08:35] <jrattner> should i use apt-get distupgrade or whatever?
[08:35] <jrattner> or is it going to cause problems
[08:35] <Karark|away> god_, anything less bloated?
[08:35] <cwillu> jrattner: should do the trick, just be aware of any hand changes you've made to config files (it'll prompt about them)
[08:36] <macfreak> hi
[08:36] <jrattner> cwillu, will it overwrite them?
[08:36] <macfreak> is anyone around?

[08:40] <KingMoila> Is there a program / how can I control my (processor) fan speed?
[08:40] <macfreak> tried editing it /boot/menu.lst but it doesn't work. been trying to find the solution on the various ubuntu and red hat support site, as i am running ubuntu on a separate hdd (slave drive)
[08:40] <UltraNav> ***** Any Python programmers here. I think I have a noob question regarding a syntax error: http://pastebin.com/936944
[08:40] <doddi> neverblue: look at my message that might be a better way to log what is happening
[08:40] <Pici> UltraNav: Try #python ;)
[08:41] <persica> Jrattner: this is upgrading from breezy?
[08:41] <freezey> whats the command for ls to list page by page
[08:41] <jrattner> persica, yep
[08:41] <cwillu> UltraNav: one sec

[08:41] <freezey> whats that option
[08:41] <UltraNav> Pici: don't seem to have this channel...
[08:41] <mike3_> freeagy, ls|less
[08:41] <doddi> freezey: more
[08:41] <doddi> ls | more
[08:41] <jrattner> persica, sudo apt-get update fails, so sudo apt-get distupgrade fails
[08:41] <neverblue> thats the output after the time elapsed
[08:41] <mike3_> or ls | less
[08:41] <doddi> or loess :-)
[08:41] <sebastian> Why is there no sound in my firefox.. And the things that they have solved it with on the internet, doen't work for me..
[08:42] <cwillu> UltraNav: you're missing a finally or except clause for your try:
[08:42] <mike3_> freakazoid0223, less provides scrolling up and down. I suggest using less.
[08:42] <mike3_> freezey, sorry
[08:42] <raymondjtoth> hi in ubuntu were do i change from eglish to something eles i speak english and my freind domtt cant seam to finde it
[08:42] <persica> jrattner: What error does apt-get update fail with?  Repo no found?
[08:42] <UltraNav> cwilli: many thanks !
[08:42] <neverblue> so do what doddi wrote?
[08:42] <mok0> UltraNav: cwillu beat me to it...
[08:42] <cwillu> :p
[08:42] <jrattner> persica, yeh i get 404 Not Found for each of the breezy repos
[08:42] <cwillu> mok0: the next suggestion was to check for tabs :p
[08:42] <helloworld> hey, i downloaded and burned feisty server, but the Check Cd for defects" returns an error, as does the install. I have burned 7 cds so far, on different burners. Any help?
[08:42] <persica> jrattner: you're going to have to set yourself to point at new repositories.
[08:43] <mike3_> helloworld, Different downloads too?
[08:43] <persica> jrattner: as root, first backup /etc/apt/sources.list, then open it and edit it.
[08:43] <helloworld> yes
[08:43] <jrattner> persica, the brand new ones?
[08:43] <cwillu> helloworld: I'd suspect the cd drive that's reading them
[08:43] <mok0> cwillu: Yeah that's a classic :-)
[08:43] <jrattner> ok
[08:43] <persica> nah, probably just the most recent LTS.
[08:43] <mike3_> i agree with Cwiiis
[08:43] <mike3_> cwillu
[08:43] <mike3_> sorry
[08:43] <cwillu> :p
[08:43] <persica> to avoid anything TOO major.
[08:43] <raymondjtoth> any one see my q :(
[08:43] <helloworld> you know what....
[08:43] <lamalex> neverblue: at the end of your cron job add >> /tmp/cron.log
[08:43] <helloworld> that might work, thanks
[08:43] <cwillu> mike3_: my hobby:  logging into world of warcraft with difficult to spell nicks :p
[08:43] <cwillu> czillilia
[08:43] <mok0> UltraNav: you can have a pass statement in the except clause
[08:44] <persica> jrattner: it's a complicated process, and you should be backed up
[08:44] <mike3_> cwillu, WoW can suck it
[08:44] <neverblue> no output
[08:44] <neverblue> lamalex, I had no output
[08:44] <cwillu> mike3_: :p, works fine under ubuntu for me :p
[08:44] <mike3_> cwillu, I've played a told of 3 mins of that game
[08:44] <jrattner> persica, i'm back up would you suggest i not do this at all?
[08:44] <lamalex> did the job run yet?
[08:44] <mike3_> cwillu, Don't care for it.
[08:44] <cwillu> mike3_: the game doesn't even start until you're level 60
[08:44] <kuvkir> hi, how do i intall acrobat reader for ubuntu ? google doesn't seem to help :(
[08:44] <sonic_> #comfusion
[08:44] <mike3_> cwillu, I rather have a life. ;)
[08:44] <cwillu> lol
[08:44] <moparfan90> can i net install ubuntu?
[08:44] <persica> jrattner: you'll just want to go through and replace any instance of "breezy" with "dapper" in /etc/apt/sources.list and then run "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade"
[08:44] <Ind[y] > Ubuntu turned (the radio of) my wireless card off. How can I set it back to on?
[08:44] <Arkitech> can anyone help me with a issue with livecd?
[08:45] <ComputinChuck> macfreak, how do you boot ubuntu?  do you have a /boot partition on the 1st disk?
[08:45] <mike3_> cwillu, bah
[08:45] <neverblue> obviously
[08:45] <mike3_> cwillu, Not that I have that much of a life. Geez
[08:45] <cwillu> :)
[08:45] <raymondjtoth> how i change the english im speak to it and mny freind dont
[08:45] <jrattner> persica, can i use grep to do this?
[08:45] <persica> jrattner: It depends on the usage of the system.  if you can't have things break, then don't do it.  If you like hacking your system, then go for it.  Likely all that will happen is an application or two will break and you'll have to hunt down the error.
[08:45] <neverblue> lamalex, obviously
[08:45] <raymondjtoth> were thay put it
[08:45] <persica> jrattner: you could theoretically use something like sed.
[08:45] <mike3_> cwillu, I'd really need to push myself into that game. I never like games like that.
[08:45] <Ind[y] > Ubuntu turned (the radio of) my wireless card off. How can I set it back to on? Please help.
[08:45] <lamalex> neverblue: well if there's no output then it's not that obvious
[08:45] <jrattner> persica, its a server
[08:45] <Anton99> hi people :) if i'm downloading Ubuntu 7.10, all time fails md5-summing... wtf?
[08:45] <cwillu> mike3_: my other hobbies include making multi seat workstations, and convincing samba, dosemu and linux vfs to speak windows to each other
[08:46] <neverblue> the obvious was in response to your question
[08:46] <mike3_> Ind[y] , ifconfig eth0 up
[08:46] <jrattner> persica, aslong as daemons function correctly and configurations are kept i dont care
[08:46] <wols_> Ind[y] : if drivers are loaded: /etc/init.d/networking restart ?
[08:46] <lamalex> .. what?
[08:46] <persica> jrattner: if it's a server then I wouldn't recommend doing it on the fly.  At least take the system down to do the upgrade, if not do a reinstall over the old system with the latest LTS.
[08:46] <cwillu> mike3_: helps if you've got friends playing it already, who don't come out for anything else (for suitable defs of 'out')
[08:46] <mike3_> cwillu, boring.
[08:46] <jrattner> persica, what is the latest LTS?
[08:46] <neverblue> doddi, know a thing or two about crontab, think you can help?
[08:46] <Anton99> hi people  if i'm downloading Ubuntu 7.10, all time fails md5-summing... wtf? i'm downloading it with KGet
[08:46] <moparfan90> is there a way to install ubuntu   net-install
[08:46] <mike3_> cwillu, bah.. I rather go out .. I mean of course if I could. :) I got no friends where I live.
[08:47] <persica> jrattner: Test that everything works with the new versions too.  I've had trouble with things like NFS upgrades breaking old systems.
[08:47] <mike3_> cwillu, I moved out of the city.
[08:47] <doddi> only really what has already been said - i would try adding it to the main etc/cron.d first
[08:47] <persica> jrattner: I believe it's dapper (6.06).  7.10 should be the next LTS.
[08:47] <freepenguin> hello everybody
[08:47] <greyfrog> !install | moparfan90
[08:47] <ubotu> moparfan90: 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
[08:47] <macfreak> hi computinchuck, i suspect that the ubuntu installation renamed the drive (d) as the primary drive, and windows installation on c as a secondary drive, strange i mounted c drive and found a boot loader configuration file on it, but it did not recognized when i booted up. It doesn't show win xp on the list even after i have edited the menu.lst
[08:47] <doddi> you can just edit that file from text editor
[08:47] <neverblue> adding what to the /etc/cron.d ?
[08:47] <jrattner> persica, hmm that makes me wonder if i should wait until 7.10
[08:47] <jrattner> when is its estimated release date
[08:47] <jrattner> !release
[08:47] <ubotu> Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases
[08:47] <mike3_> I would like to leave work!
[08:48] <sebastian> So can some sweet kind explain why there aren't any sound in firefox...
[08:48] <persica> jrattner: if it's not urgent then you should be fine.  As long as you do your security updates.
[08:48] <Anton99> hi people if i'm downloading Ubuntu 7.10, all time fails md5-summing... wtf? i'm downloading it with KGet
[08:48] <cwillu> jrattner: 2007, /10
[08:48] <persica> jrattner: 7.10 is released in 2007/10
[08:48] <neverblue> doddi: adding what to the /etc/cron.d ?
[08:48] <jrattner> October
[08:48] <jrattner> hmm ok
[08:48] <cwillu> :p
[08:48] <jrattner> thank you
[08:48] <DreamThief> Anton99: dont use 7.10 yet. it's still in alpha stage
[08:48] <doddi> sorry got it wrong - was getting confused with aracron
[08:48] <Anton99> But i'm alpha tester :P
[08:49] <Anton99> non-official :)
[08:49] <dasmaze> jrattner, the version number is based on the release date.
[08:49] <greyfrog> !ubuntu+1 | Anton99
[08:49] <ubotu> Anton99: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Feisty: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - For BitTorrent downloads, see !Torrents
[08:49] <doddi> have you tried just a simple echo command in cron first to see if you have it running correctly?
[08:49] <neverblue> doddi, any other ideas?
[08:49] <persica> Anton99 I think you want the #ubuntu+1 channel then.
[08:49] <greyfrog> Anton99, ooops you want #ubuntu+1
[08:49] <Anton99> ok
[08:50] <persica> jrattner: I don't know how your partitions are set up, but you might want to install 7.10 fresh on a new partition when you do, just to make sure you get everything working so you can go back if something isn't working right.
[08:50] <cwillu> ben21224: (re: no errors but no desktop icon to install)
[08:50] <cwillu> ben21224: how big/fast of a machine is it?
[08:50] <sebastian> Why doesn't alsaconf exist under Ubuntu..
[08:51] <neverblue> doddi, that command will give no output, the xset dpms force off, so the >> at the end of the command in the crontab does nothing

[08:58] <raymondjtoth> !launge
[08:58] <roho> kapstaad: so use feisty!
[08:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about launge - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:58] <wolfalfa> hello, I am stuck at the license agreement in Ubuntu (netbeans 5.5.2) any pointers to get past it ?
[08:58] <gsmith> oh, I should mention that I'm using Dapper at the momemt
[08:58] <gsmith> moment*

[08:59] <ChrisF> greetings
[08:59] <ChrisF> if I install Ubuntu, is there a way to resize my windows partition using the install CD?
[08:59] <wols_> ChrisF: yes
[08:59] <omeg1> how do you set an app to run as sudo ?
[08:59] <MrKeuner> hi, how can I give banshee mp3 encoding capability?
[09:00] <wols_> omeg1: with chmod. what app?
[09:00] <mike3_> freepenguin, I'd help if I understood what you were asking
[09:00] <omeg1> wireshark
[09:00] <Ind[y] > it is turned off by hardware. how can I turn it on?
[09:00] <kapstaad> no suggestions then?
[09:00] <persica> ChrisF: Yes, gparted will take care of that.  I've used it to successfully change windows paritions to make room at least half a dozen times.  However, backup your data first.
[09:00] <wols_> raymondjtoth: language
[09:00] <kenshinx> any suggestions for my compiz issue
[09:00] <omeg1> has to run as root or you cant select the interface for some reason

[09:00] <raymondjtoth> wols yews were is that?
[09:00] <raymondjtoth> wols yes were put it cant finde weree to change it
[09:01] <persica> omeg1: That's right.  You can't open an interface in promiscuous mode unless you're root.  Change the command to something like 'gksu wireshark'
[09:01] <omeg1> thanks
[09:01] <wols_> raymondjtoth: locales. dpkg-reconfigure them
[09:01] <raymondjtoth> i speak english and wols my freind dont

[09:01] <omeg1> brucewang:  i figured i would get one after compiling it .. but nothing, so i am doing a manual launcher
[09:02] <raymondjtoth> wols i know but windows has something not good at it there was somthing to see them
[09:02] <brucewang> omeg1,  why didnt you just download it from the repo?
[09:02] <raymondjtoth> wols is there a front end thing
[09:02] <linxuz3r> whats a good pdf annotator?
[09:02] <freepenguin> mike3_, if you talk portorguese or you know somebody that talk it you can help me, if not it's the same =)
[09:02] <wols_> raymondjtoth: why don't you just run what I told you?
[09:02] <omeg1> it failed to install a bunch of times . so i just did it the old fashion way (the way that i can always make work)
[09:03] <wols_> !pt | freepenguin
[09:03] <ubotu> freepenguin: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.

[09:03] <administrator> hi everyone, IDK if you remember my problem but basically my system has a problem running terminal, I know so because it doesn't work in kubuntu here or kubuntu LIVE CD, I was told to do a memtest and I did for an hour and got no errors, whats my next step? xterm works but default terminal in kubuntu doesn't and I know its not a configuration issue its something to do with my coputer itself
[09:03] <randoman> oh yeah, this is in kde
[09:03] <randoman> also
[09:03] <wols_> freepenguin: however what you are asking is considered OT here and spam
[09:03] <administrator> I was known as ubuntu
[09:03] <raymondjtoth> wols like what sysytem monitor is
[09:03] <endo> sweet, thanks :D

[09:03] <freepenguin> wols_, yes excuse me =)
[09:03] <raymondjtoth> wols i did
[09:03] <zt1180> my desktop efects are not working in festy
[09:03] <raymondjtoth> and took me to somthing
[09:03] <wols_> zt1180: what driver?
[09:04] <reed026> hmm I installed Ubuntu Server, I made a 100mb partion for the /boot and them 39.0 GB for the installation and .9 for swap, now that it has installed it loads up past the Grub and then shoots back into the bios loading screen
[09:04] <raymondjtoth> but wols any thing easyer
[09:04] <reed026> I do not understand what is happening.
[09:04] <raymondjtoth> like frount end
[09:04] <zt1180> i don't know how do i tell.
[09:04] <administrator> @ raymondjtoth thats your only option for now
[09:04] <wols_> raymondjtoth: old server? also: is boot at the end of disk or beginning?
[09:04] <wols_> erm: reed026 ^^
[09:04] <Desp> hi all

[09:04] <Desp> how to mount usb HD ?
[09:05] <gsmith> anyone know about dapper issues with USB keyboards & mice?
[09:05] <reed026> wols, should I try it at the end?
[09:05] <zt1180> wols - is there a command to check which driver i am using
[09:05] <wols_> zt1180: paste the output of grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf in a pastebin
[09:05] <ComputinChuck> can someone give me a hand with this gstreamer problem?  when i encode any kind of audio to MP4/AAC, using a gst program, i get a mangled file
[09:05] <wols_> reed026: no
[09:05] <omeg1> brucewang: can you recomend any good apps for sniffing IM traffic ?
[09:05] <mike3_> omeg1, wireshark
[09:05] <wols_> omeg1: you already have the right one
[09:05] <kapstaad> Guys, I have several Dapper installations I need to fix.  I cannot change OS versions (policy).  Apache2 in Dapper is built on OpenSSL 0.9.8a, which has a few vulnerabilities.  Short of DIY building my own OpenSSL and building my own Apache2 on the DIY OpenSSL libs, any ideas?  Anyone know why Dapper is still stuck at 0.9.8a, and if/when it might get updated?
[09:05] <mike3_> omeg1, dsniff
[09:05] <dienbbud> #ubuntuusers
[09:05] <WantSomeHelp> can someone help me with GRUB? when i reboot my Computer there is no menu option just " Error 17" Screen Appears.. how to fix it? i have ubuntu, Windows XP And RHEL. last i install ubuntu. in ext3 partition type.
[09:05] <randoman> does anyone know why both my monitors identify on one monitor
[09:05] <randoman> ?
[09:06] <omeg1> i would assume just setting a filter on the captured traffic to get IM ?
[09:06] <persica> kapstaad: the security updates don't take care of that?
[09:06] <kapstaad> persica: nope
[09:06] <Scunizi> randoman, you mean the two work as one instead of individually?
[09:06] <brucewang> I have a question, what happens if I infect my vista vm? I'm curious
[09:06] <kapstaad> At least if they do, they havent yet
[09:06] <mike3_> omeg1, You could do it that way, or look into dsniff. it comes with various MiTM appps.
[09:06] <someone2005> any way to execute an exe file in ubuntu ?
[09:06] <mike3_> someone2005, hahah
[09:06] <dasmaze> someone2005, Wine.
[09:06] <mike3_> someone2005, wine
[09:06] <wols_> WantSomeHelp: grub error 17 is 17 : "Invalid device requested"
[09:06] <Scunizi> someone2005, no
[09:06] <randoman> yes they are working as one desktop
[09:06] <askand> !wine | someone2005
[09:06] <ubotu> someone2005: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[09:06] <brucewang> omeg1,  u attempting arp cache poisoning?
[09:06] <kapstaad> persica: current package data for Dapper shows all related pkgs still using 0.9.8a
[09:06] <wols_> someone2005: install wine
[09:06] <omeg1> i cant get dsniff to work correctly for some reason or another i get no data back out of any of the dsniff utils
[09:07] <WantSomeHelp> wols_:  there how to fix it?
[09:07] <someone2005> I tryed wine did seem to work to good...
[09:07] <Ind[y] > it is turned off by hardware. how can I turn it on?
[09:07] <persica> kapstaad: I think it's stuck at that version for consistency.  If you want the more recent package I think you do have to build it yourself.
[09:07] <mike3_> omeg1, You need to arp posion. It's not liike the old hub days. :)
[09:07] <randoman> but when i goto to kdesktop and identify screens, it shows the #1 and #2 on either monitor I have selected
[09:07] <askand> The graphics gets all strange when I run warcraft III..why? :(
[09:07] <WantSomeHelp> wols_:  can i Recover or reinstall with old like grub.
[09:07] <Scunizi> randoman, then you are using Twinview.  If you'd like independance between the monitors and be able to drag from one to the other look at xinerama.
[09:07] <randoman> im using mergedfb
[09:07] <hatow> alguem ai fala portugues?
[09:07] <mike3_> askand, You're running it in Ubuntu. :0
[09:07] <persica> kapstaad: You could write a patch for the security issues and give it to the security team. :)
[09:07] <kapstaad> persica: I dont get it.  Consistency is indeed the goal of Dapper, but not at the expense of security?
[09:07] <someone2005> I 'll try againn though...
[09:07] <Scunizi> !xinerama |randoman
[09:07] <ubotu> randoman: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[09:07] <reed026> wols, should I have made the partion for /boot larger than 100mb?
[09:07] <askand>  askand yes with cedega
[09:07] <omeg1> brucewang: no ... i am on a hub that all my switches connect to before they go to the net .. so i should be able to pull off the wire this way without a poison ... at least i did in windows
[09:07] <randoman> k
[09:07] <randoman> thanks
[09:08] <ompaul> !pt | hatow
[09:08] <ubotu> hatow: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[09:08] <persica> kapstaad: if there really is a hole then it should be patched in the dapper-security repository.
[09:08] <kapstaad> persica: OpenSSL team already fixed the vulns
[09:08] <randoman> also, i have one other question :P
[09:08] <hatow> ok...
[09:08] <Scunizi> randoman, k
[09:08] <randoman> hi guys, when I go to the system settings,Monitor & Display. It gives me an error " An erro occured during your last kde upgrade leaving an orphaned control module" " you home old thrid party modules lying around"
[09:08] <kapstaad> they just arent in the Dapper build
[09:08] <hatow> tanks
[09:08] <mike3_> omeg1, Chances are it did an arp posion. At least try.
[09:08] <hellogoodbye> hey, my GNOME is pretty borked, is it feasible to create a new partition, move my home folder to it then reinstall?
[09:08] <ompaul> hatow, enjoy it
[09:08] <rajkalyan> hello
[09:08] <askand> mike3_: yes with cedega
[09:08] <kapstaad> /DCC persica pvt chat please?
[09:08] <brucewang> omeg1,  using cain and able?
[09:08] <randoman> what might cause that
[09:08] <randoman> what modules
[09:08] <wols_> hellogoodbye: yes. but chances are your .gnome stuff in ~ is borked too
[09:08] <Scunizi> randoman, sorry can't answer that one.. maybe someone else.
[09:09] <omeg1> no .. was just using a cheesy IM capture utility at the time
[09:09] <omeg1> i have used cain and able before though
[09:09] <Scunizi> randoman, you could also ask in #kubuntu
[09:09] <fatbrain> Hello, anyway I can reconfigure the authentication method for my wifi setting? I changed it recently but there's no way I can change it in the systray network-icon util... Where do I reconfigure my wifi connection?
[09:09] <randoman> but also guys, isnt xinerma only for nivida
[09:09] <randoman> ?
[09:09] <rajkalyan> hi
[09:09] <randoman> k i will
[09:09] <Scunizi> randoman, yes
[09:09] <WantSomeHelp> wols_:  can you help me out?
[09:09] <randoman> im on ati
[09:09] <rogue780> hellogoodbye,  yes, but you might want to consider reinstalling ubuntu-desktop through synaptic
[09:09] <rajkalyan> anyone here
[09:09] <randoman> im on 9800pro
[09:09] <wols_> reed026: no it' snot
[09:09] <wols_> WantSomeHelp: no I can't
[09:09] <Scunizi> randoman, actually I don't think so.  It's a funciton of "x" not the video card
[09:09] <mike3_> rajkalyan, smack
[09:09] <Ind[y] > My wireless card is turned off (its "radio" is turned off) as hardware. How can I enable it? (reboot doesn't fix this. it is _hardware_ specific)
[09:09] <kapstaad> maybe this is just the wrong place to ask for that kind of help
[09:09] <randoman> ill give it a shot
[09:09] <brucewang> omeg1,  hak.5 has a pretty good video on arp cache poisoning
[09:09] <hellogoodbye> it's my compiz that mucked up, so i tried to update to fusion but it hasnt worked fully
[09:10] <mike3_> Ind[y] , Was it on and working before?
[09:10] <Ind[y] > mike3_: sure
[09:10] <randoman> managedfb has an option for xinerma to determine the monitors
[09:10] <reed026> what do you mean wols? It's not large enough ?
[09:10] <mike3_> Ind[y] , what kind of dumb answer is "sure" ?
[09:10] <Ind[y] > mike3_: and since a random boot, it stopped working
[09:10] <persica> kapstaad: I think there's a development channel where you might be able to get the scoop on the versioning.
[09:10] <omeg1> brucewang: ohh i completely understand poisoning the arp .. but in this scenario it shouldnt be needed
[09:10] <Ind[y] > mike3_: ok. yes, it was on and working.
[09:10] <randoman> Option "MergedXineramaCRT2IsScreen0" "true" #determines which screen is going to be the primary screen; value can b$
[09:10] <rogue780> hellogoodbye, well, I have heard of people backing up their home dirs and transfering them with success so...that's the best I can offer
[09:10] <omeg1> going main network switch - hub - internet
[09:11] <omeg1> im on the hub
[09:11] <hellogoodbye> ok thanks
[09:11] <Ind[y] > mike3_: It is disabled. Radio is off.
[09:11] <randoman> thanks guys
[09:11] <FarrisG> is there a way to alias an nfs export? For instance can I export /mnt/disk1/archive on host1 as /archive, and allow host2 to mount the export thusly: "mount host1:/archive" ?
[09:11] <brucewang> well why cant you select your wired connection using wireshark?
[09:11] <gsmith> can anyone help with the error:  "The Application "gnome-keyboard-properties" has quit unexpectedly"
[09:11] <gerro> what are the exact commands I would use to make a boot floppy? I got an image here and I've tried dd if=/home/user/Desktop/boot.img of=/dev/fd0 but should that be as root and what about mounting/umounting the floppy first?
[09:11] <DNN> hallo! anybody can help with creox?
[09:11] <mike3_> Ind[y] , open up a shell and initate the command "sudo ifconfig". Paste the results to pastebin.
[09:11] <gsmith> plus freezing keyboard/mouse
[09:11] <persica> kapstaad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl097/+bug/62390
[09:12] <wols_> Ind[y] : /sbin/ifconfig -a
[09:12] <brucewang> omeg1, well why cant you select your wired connection interface using wireshark?
[09:12] <RoC_MasterMind> gerro, you should not have it mounted, because you will be writing raw data to it...and you must be root, and root can't hurt sudo in front
[09:12] <omeg1> running it as root i can now so that issue is fixed
[09:12] <ompaul> !root | omeg1
[09:12] <ubotu> omeg1: 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
[09:12] <brucewang> omeg1,  so what are you trying to do?
[09:12] <WantSomeHelp> !grub

[09:13] <omeg1> haha thanks ompaul ... that is helpful .. lol
[09:13] <ompaul> if you have to be root then you are doing something wrong ;-)
[09:13] <omeg1> not trying to do anything now ... i said i was fixed a while back .. lol sorry

[09:13] <mike3_> Oh spagehhti!
[09:13] <omeg1> i was trying to find an easier way to capture IM traffic than having to use wireshark .. but ill live
[09:14] <mike3_> omeg1, dsniff
[09:14] <kapstaad> sigh
[09:14] <delta9thc1> spaghetti?
[09:14] <omeg1> mike3_:  dsniff unforutnally doesnt work for me ... no idea why
[09:14] <kapstaad> Is there anyone here who can help with Dapper / OpenSSL 0.9.8a vulnerabilities??
[09:14] <neverblue> i got the crontab to work, thanks to those involved
[09:15] <kapstaad> I basically need to know if/when the Dapper build might catch up to the OpenSSL project's current 0.9.8d build....
[09:15] <Ind[y] > mike3_, wols_: http://pastebin.ca/590740
[09:15] <omeg1> ok .. i spoke too soon ... dsniff is working
[09:15] <ompaul> kapstaad, they will fix the bug - if it requires an upgrade of the version then that is what will be done
[09:15] <omeg1> sorry for being a tard ... and thanks for helping
[09:16] <Ind[y] > mike3_, wols_: before, "radio" was "on"
[09:16] <someone2005> ubuntu actually won't even install an installer ? Any Ideas ?
[09:16] <DNN> can anybody help with creox, when i try to play i get only error. i can't get anny sound
[09:17] <reed026> wols_ should I just install the main ubuntu instead and put AMP on it and remove gnome?
[09:17] <Ind[y] > mike3_, wols_: It has happened another time and I made a win32 partition and I enabled the radio of the wireless card, and then it worked again on Ubuntu.
[09:17] <reed026> Sounds a lot easier :/
[09:17] <Ind[y] > Enabled it as a hardware device I think. Through win32. How do I do this on Ubuntu? And why was it disabled?
[09:18] <neverblue> lamalex and doddi, I needed to add in the display # and use the user, not root
[09:18] <mike3_> Ind[y] , THat is odd.. What wireless card?
[09:18] <neverblue> for future knowledge
[09:18] <imbecile> that was so embarrassing
[09:18] <omeg1> Anyone have knowledge of filesnarf ?

[09:19] <roachclit> Hey guys, after the newest update, I found a couple different things in the TERMINAL
[09:19] <roachclit> instead of typing SUDO, they now use SU
[09:19] <neverblue> oh nos!
[09:19] <imbecile> mike3_,  I was wondering when someone was gonna say that
[09:19] <roachclit> and I can sign in with my main SU password, however, it won't let me signed into the TerMINal with the same password
[09:20] <roachclit> Is there something I have to do to sync my terminal password with my root password?
[09:20] <persica> roachclit: root logins on the terminal may well be disabled.
[09:20] <roachclit> how would I fix that?
[09:20] <someone2005> Ha thought I needed the MS jvm...
[09:20] <mike3_> Ind[y] , Found your fix
[09:20] <persica> roachclit: I believe your problem is the secure option in /etc/inittab.
[09:20] <mike3_> Ind[y] , I should smack you
[09:21] <Ind[y] > mike3_: tell me :)
[09:21] <someone2005> Unable to install...
[09:21] <someone2005> ok know what ?
[09:21] <persica> check the man pages for getty and inittab
[09:21] <mike3_> Ind[y] , Try this. Open a shell and type "rf_kill 0"
[09:21] <mike3_> Ind[y] , see if rf_kill is a reconized command

[09:21] <Portal60> Any IT Security guys here?
[09:22] <someone2005> ok
[09:22] <Ind[y] > mike3_: nope
[09:22] <Portal60> know of any rooms full of security people
[09:22] <helloworld> or try automatix
[09:22] <helloworld> for java
[09:22] <persica> Portal60: IT Security is a big field.  What do you mean specifically?

[09:23] <MrOtacon> hey guys - is it possible to build a livecd from my installed ubuntu system? i want to give my mate one so he can run something called kai - but on livecd - i have it all compiled and running on my system - he isn't very computer literate so i want to make it easy for him
[09:23] <mike3_> Ind[y] , try this "rmmod ipw2100"
[09:24] <mike3_> Ind[y] , then "modprobe mode=0"
[09:24] <mike3_> sorry
[09:24] <persica> I accidentally typed /quit.  Lost any responses to my last question.
[09:24] <roachclit> guys I tried to open up /etc/inittab in Gedit and it won't let me pull it up
[09:24] <imbecile> MrOtacon,  make a vm of it and he can do it that way
[09:24] <mike3_> Ind[y] , "modprobe ipw2100 mode=0"
[09:24] <imbecile> and that way he wont lose saved files
[09:24] <Ind[y] > mike3_: only? without rmmod first?
[09:24] <MrOtacon> imbecile: he wont want to or know how to use vmware in windows
[09:25] <mike3_> Ind[y] , do rmmod first
[09:25] <imbecile> MrOtacon,  he doesnt know how to open a vmx file?
[09:25] <imbecile> just click and open
[09:25] <Ind[y] > mike3_: ok. done.
[09:25] <mike3_> Ind[y] , Now do the modprobe one.
[09:25] <Ind[y] > mike3_: I did
[09:25] <mike3_> Ind[y] , do you have radio signal now?
[09:26] <Ind[y] > no
[09:26] <CaptainMorgan> Im trying here because I've installed this on many systems and this appears to platform specific. I installed the jdk/netbeans bundle from sun, as I've done on many different systems. It succeeds and when I attempt to install an add-on pack such as c/c++ the installer says the JDK can't be found... this has to be 7.04 specific... why is the JDK not being found?
[09:26] <Ind[y] > should I restart something first?
[09:26] <MrOtacon> imbecile: nope... i thought a live cd would be the easiest for him - cause then i could setup the rc.local to run everything he needs - he would only have to enter his username and password in kai
[09:26] <CaptainMorgan> if it installed fine
[09:26] <mike3_> Ind[y] , ok do the rmmod and just "mod probe ipw2100"
[09:26] <mike3_> Ind[y] , see if that works
[09:26] <CaptainMorgan> if *the bundle installed fine
[09:26] <Ind[y] > mike3_: no. maybe I need tp restart something?
[09:26] <Ind[y] > *to
[09:27] <macfreak> i have a problem, i have installed Ubuntu, but the grub boot loader does not have windows xp as an option for the boot option. How can i fixed it?
[09:28] <someone2005> This take a min...
[09:28] <roho> is there a gui for shorewall?
[09:29] <EchoBinary> cli
[09:29] <imbecile> MrOtacon,  what i'm saying is YOU can make the vm for him with all the modules he needs already installed and send it to him or burn as a  data disk and just pull it over to his hd then "voila" he has the preconfigured vm.. the only thing he has to do is "open" and select the .vmx
[09:29] <imbecile> takes 5 seconds

[09:29] <SaltyMule> total newbie - I'm trying to install apache, but I don't have internet access on that machine
[09:30] <n2diy> I'm using wget to DL Fiesty, I was with in one hour of finishing the 40 hour DL, when my carrier dropped. No problem, I ran wget -c, and the DL continued where it was when it was disconnected. Then my carrier dropped again, and now when I run wget -c, it starts from the beginning of the DL. Is there a way to have wget -c resume the DL, and not start over from scratch?
[09:30] <macfreak> thanks ROC
[09:30] <wols_> macfreak: apt-zip
[09:30] <MrOtacon> imbecile: yeah - i could do that i suppose... i just didn;t want him to have to install anything
[09:30] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, it sounds like it had to restart for a good reason....you could try bittorrent...it is not perturbed by interruptions
[09:30] <CaptainMorgan> anyone?
[09:31] <RoC_MasterMind> ReZound seems broken out of the box...it won't play any sound...it seems like it could be a sound server issue, but I don't see a Preferences/Options plce anywhere in the menus, and it was broken as soon as I installed it..I know it works, i've used it on KNOPPIX...does this error look familiar to anyone?  http://image.bayimg.com/ca/ce/ea/ab/c.jpg
[09:31] <SaltyMule> Should the package manager handle everything?
[09:31] <RoC_MasterMind> SaltyMule, yes.
[09:31] <CaptainMorgan> I also installed JDK through synaptic.... so I don't understand why it's not being found
[09:31] <MrOtacon> !info bootcd
[09:31] <ubotu> bootcd: run your system from cd without need for disks. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.00 (feisty), package size 55 kB, installed size 228 kB
[09:32] <SaltyMule> its telling me libpcre3 is not installable.
[09:32] <imbecile> MrOtacon, I think in the long run it will be easier for him.. heck you can even throw vmware setup on the same disk as your vmx so he wont have to look around for stuff.. my 63yo dad had no problem when i did the same for him
[09:32] <Horus> hi
[09:32] <imbecile> my dad is running an ubuntu vm now
[09:32] <MrOtacon> imbecile: ok :) - thanks for the advice - i think i'll go down that route then
[09:33] <SaltyMule> RoC_Mastermind, thanks anyway
[09:34] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: Well, that's what I was told about wget.  I see wget keeps log files in my home directory, I was hoping editing or deleting one of those would do the trick?
[09:35] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, maybe...you can order a disc if you connection is too slow..but it's a really good idea to download via bittorrent...you won't be able to upload at all, but since your speeds are probably pretty low anyway, you won't notice a difference.
[09:35] <gsmith> trying this one last time: anyone know about issues with USB keyboard & mice in dapper. I've had the keyboard settings crash on me each time I try to open it also.
[09:36] <RoC_MasterMind> which release were you looking for n2diy ?
[09:36] <m0u5e> hey guys whats the command to fix "broken packages" ?
[09:36] <RoC_MasterMind> m0u5e, try apt-get check && dpkg --audit
[09:36] <balai> hello
[09:36] <balai> anyone familiar with rhythmbox? :p
[09:37] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: Roger that, I'm trying to get 7.04, I'd rather wait two days for the DL, then three weeks for shipit.
[09:37] <m0u5e> ahh ty RoC_MasterMind
[09:37] <m0u5e> balai: i like listen or exaile better... banshee looks promising
[09:38] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, are you familiar with bittorrent?
[09:38] <balai> m0u5e: ok Iets have a look at those
[09:38] <balai> I'm looking for a way of restarting playback where it last was when I quit & restart rhythmbox
[09:38] <balai> resume playback
[09:39] <m0u5e> balai: i know exaile offers that
[09:39] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: I'm familiar with the concept, but have never run it here.
[09:39] <m0u5e> balai: i dont know about listen, although there might be a plugin or setting you can change...
[09:39] <dotpavan> balai, just to let you know, amarok has that feature.. and many more
[09:39] <reed026> When I am setting up a partion for the boot do I need to set it as primary or logical ?
[09:39] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, run the command "sudo apt-get install bittorrent-gui"
[09:39] <m0u5e> dotpavan: i have trouble running amorak w/ ubuntu-desktop... besides i like using something a little more native
[09:39] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, that will install a simple BT client.
[09:40] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, torrent links for Ubuntu are here: http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/
[09:40] <m0u5e> n2diy torrent is awesome, be prepared to have it eat your bandwidth though (especially if you're on 56k)
[09:40] <balai> m0u5e: ok, does exaile have a browse view like rythmbox/itunes (genre -> artist -> album)?
[09:40] <bruenig> balai, no
[09:40] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, after you install that package, you may need to close your browser for the browser to sync the change....goto that site, and just clicking on what you want should launch your bt client and start the download.
[09:40] <kiplantt> how to emulate middle click by pushing Fn button and clicking ?
[09:40] <reed026> !boot
[09:40] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[09:41] <balai> dotpavan: isn't amarok more for kde? I'm under gnome
[09:41] <m0u5e> balai: exaile calls itself the "amorak like" player, it has most of amaroks features, and yes it does have a browse view
[09:41] <RabidWeezle> I just suffered a power outage, is there a way to check my hard drive for errors?
[09:41] <tonyyarusso> RabidWeezle: fsck
[09:41] <m0u5e> rabidweezle: sudo touch /forcefsck
[09:41] <RabidWeezle> k
[09:41] <Michal_13> :D
[09:41] <preaction> RabidWeezle: done automatically if necessary. usually not necessary with a journalling filesystem like ext3
[09:41] <dotpavan> balai, yes, but I run it under gnome and behaves fine (as if it is native)
[09:41] <RabidWeezle> I use ext3
[09:41] <someone2005> I can't seem to install a newer version for the JVC... any Ideas ?
[09:41] <RabidWeezle> :)
[09:41] <jlund> RabidWeezle: Everything should be fine as EXT3 is a journalling file system.
[09:41] <eelmoo> Hello
[09:41] <m0u5e> rabid weezle: though ubuntu checks every 10 startups or something like that haha
[09:41] <RabidWeezle> alright
[09:41] <Pntkl> sup?
[09:41] <Setzer`> hey
[09:41] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: mOuSe Roger that, wget is pretty good at eating bandwidth too, so that isn't a problem.
[09:41] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, although usually it will kill your speeds, you can choose to only upload say 1kb/sec or not at all...this will really kill your speeds, but your speeds are slow anyways and i think it will be fine with all the seeders...it will also be able to use whatever file wget has left you with
[09:42] <Ern1> Hello, can anyone please tell me how to set the first page of an openoffice writer document so that is has no header?
[09:42] <balai> m0u5e: exaile seems very nice indeed :)
[09:42] <RoC_MasterMind> kiplantt, it's actually control+left click = middle click
[09:42] <preaction> RabidWeezle: then it's unnecessary. the first step is to write to the journal the change that's about to happen. if the journal write fails, you lose data but no damage to the file system. if the actual write fails, the system replays the journal to re-create it
[09:42] <reed026> >	When I am setting up a partion for the boot do I need to set it as primary or logical ?
[09:42] <eelmoo> good
[09:42] <Setzer`> fun
[09:42] <Pntkl> tell me
[09:43] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: Well, if it will clean up for wget, it is worth a shot. Currently I'm checking a wget log file, if I can't fix it, I'll grab bit torrent.
[09:44] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, using bittorrent also guaruntees the file your finished with is exactly correct, it does integrity checking of each small piece.. you can't get this anywhere else...
[09:44] <reed026> >	When I am setting up a partion for the /boot do I need to set it as primary or logical ?
[09:44] <balai> m0u5e: and it has libnotify support, which I missed in amarok... great!
[09:44] <balai> m0u5e: thanks mate
[09:44] <kiplantt> RoC_MasterMind: only in Firefox
[09:44] <balai> i'll try it now
[09:45] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: Roger that too, that is cool.
[09:45] <m0u5e> balai: yup :) enjoy
[09:46] <WantSomeHelp> is there any helper around here which one can help with GRUB ?
[09:46] <reed026> maybe I figured it out

[09:46] <RoC_MasterMind> WantSomeHelp, what's up?
[09:46] <mike3_> geez, some people .
[09:46] <reed026> but see I need a small EFIBoot program
[09:47] <reed026> I'll see if setting up a 500mb /boot label set up as an EFIBoot will do the trick
[09:47] <m0u5e> anyone know of a xmp meta data reading/writing utility?
[09:47] <WantSomeHelp> RoC_MasterMind:  when i reboot my Computer there is no menu option just " Error 17" Screen Appears.. how to fix it? i have ubuntu, Windows XP And RHEL. last i install ubuntu7.04 in ext3 partition type. i m new and not familiar with this.

[09:50] <dotpavan> WantSomeHelp, you over wrote your GRUB
[09:50] <reed026> dotpaven, did you set it to a EFIBoot?
[09:50] <RoC_MasterMind> WantSomeHelp, a friend of mine had that on a laptop as well...he solved it by installing (requires windows) Acronis Boot Manager which is part of Acronis Disk Director....it installs a GUI boot loader that lets you click what OS you want to boot...we never got GRUB working on his...you could always do this as a last resort...

[09:50] <zendo> Hi. I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 AMD64 version, which requires me to use 32-bit firefox with all other 32-bit support libraries so I can use flash in it. Is there now some flash plugin for 64-bit firefox?
[09:50] <RoC_MasterMind> zendo, no I don't think so.
[09:50] <roachclit> How can I install this fine:  jre-6u1-linux-i586.bin

[09:52] <blackace11> hello
[09:53] <RoC_MasterMind> WantSomeHelp, it'd be great if you find out what the solution is....this says info grub wrote:

[09:53] <RoC_MasterMind> This error is returned if the partition requested exists, but the filesystem type cannot be recognized by GRUB.

[09:54] <blackace11> can anyone walk me through the steps of connecting my xbox 360 usb controller to my brand new ubuntu OS?

[09:58] <bronze> Is there any way I can change the name on "39,1 GB-volume" to something like "Windows XP"? What's the terminal command?
[09:59] <RoC_MasterMind> bronze, that looks hard coded.
[09:59] <bronze> the volume is RoC_MasterMind huh?
[09:59] <RoC_MasterMind> bronze, you could make a shortcut or something...put it on the desktop or such
[09:59] <bronze> lol, sorry, typo
[10:00] <coNP> CaptainMorgan: sorry you might have an odd problem
[10:00] <imbecile> Music_Shuffle, RoC_MasterMind, is there anything similar to fruity loops or acid?
[10:00] <roaet> Hello. Is there a way to change the default FTP port with the ftp server that comes with ubuntu?
[10:00] <rouslan> I'm trying to add a HD to RAID. I get this error msg: "mdadm: failed to write superblock to /dev/hdc1"

[10:01] <coNP> bronze: sure, you can use the "e2tools" package from command line
[10:01] <Bllz> are there any ipod libraries I need to download in order to synch exail with my ipod?
[10:01] <coNP> bronze: you can set the label with "sudo e2label <device> <new label>"
[10:01] <CaptainMorgan> coNP, that's not the only one.. how about - not having to do DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace on every system start get back my window borders...
[10:01] <RoC_MasterMind> imbecile, maybe...you could also try running them under WINE.
[10:01] <dotpavan> Bllz, amarok and gtkpod sync well with ipod (from what I heard)
[10:01] <CaptainMorgan> coNP, know of a solution?
[10:01] <Music_Shuffle> imbecile, I would find the Ubuntu Studio package listing and either...burn a copy and try it out, or just try and see which packages off of that would be helpful :)
[10:01] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: Interesting, bittorrent was installed, but bittorrent-gui wasn't. I'll have it 12 minutes.
[10:02] <Bllz> amarok doesnt work at all lol i tried it
[10:02] <coNP> CaptainMorgan: what are your borders?
[10:02] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, yeah this bittorrent-gui is pretty easy...you don't even need to close Firefox before you click your torrent link after it's installed.
[10:02] <coNP> Bllz: that is FUD, amarok is cool :)
[10:02] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, bittorrent is the command line version.
[10:02] <Bllz> lol coNP, I tried it and couldnt get it to sync!  plus i have to be honest, I wasnt a fan of the interface... too complicated
[10:02] <CaptainMorgan> coNP, everytime my systems starts, the borders to EVERYTHINg are gone.. I know from the past that it's a beryl issue, of which I have opted to not even tough beryl in this installation
[10:03] <mike3_> You know I have beryl, never use it. It renders my system crap via vnc.
[10:03] <CaptainMorgan> coNP, yet, I still have this border issue
[10:03] <RoC_MasterMind> imbecile, the Ubuntu Studio Edition has a really cool splash and loading screens...it's a install CD...just go find it.
[10:03] <coNP> CaptainMorgan: I don't really understand you, however I might have an idea
[10:03] <rohan> anyone noticed that when running java apps - eclipse, frostwire - in (k)ubuntu using the sun java6, computer lags horribly, and ram consumption shoots up ? almost as if there's a memleak occurring ?
[10:03] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: roger roger, if I'd known it was installed, I would have tried it from the CLI, but I like GUIs too.
[10:03] <coNP> CaptainMorgan: what about selecting "gnome session" explcitly when you log in in gdm?
[10:03] <RoC_MasterMind> imbecile, although you could just see what is on that disc from the website and then install those packages.
[10:03] <CaptainMorgan> coNP, what I need is a place to input that the terminal script/command every time my system starts so I don'thave to do it manually
[10:04] <rohan> and it happens everytime i use eclipse or frostwire, making those 2 tools effectively useless for me on ubuntu
[10:04] <CaptainMorgan> coNP, I believe that's the default.. no?
[10:04] <coNP> CaptainMorgan: please try to login with gnome session as I said
[10:04] <coNP> CaptainMorgan: I also believe but I am not sure
[10:04] <CaptainMorgan> :)
[10:04] <coNP> CaptainMorgan: this is only a test, it might work for you
[10:04] <DigitalNinja1> I'm having trouble with a new system. It's got a Intel 82946GZ/GL for video. The resolution is okay but the quality is not. Can any one help
[10:04] <NeXtDaY> how do install .tar.gz files?
[10:04] <natbet> rohan: I haven't noticed it with eclipse or frostwire (haven't used those programs in awhile) but I have in other java apps, I thought it was just that app (some little company made it)
[10:04] <someone2005> sound about correct thats java...
[10:04] <rohan> natbet: no
[10:05] <coNP> NeXtDaY: what do you mean by installing them? They are archives, you can unpack them e.g. with file-roller.
[10:05] <rohan> it's a sureshot ubuntu problem, i think
[10:05] <imbecile> Music_Shuffle, RoC_MasterMind, thanks alot you guys :)
[10:05] <Music_Shuffle> Best of luck :)
[10:05] <natbet> it's possible
[10:05] <meheren> Is there a way to mount a UFS file system under ubuntu? (Installation of OSX and choose the UFS option as opposed to HFS And HFS+
[10:05] <meheren> )
[10:05] <NeXtDaY> coNP: i mean i downaloded the files and yet dunno how to install it using terminal..?
[10:05] <NeXtDaY> file*
[10:06] <macawm> Can anyone inform me of how to install a window server without all the extra junk?
[10:06] <coNP> NeXtDaY: they might ruin your system. You can extract them however with "tar xfz <filename>"
[10:06] <Music_Shuffle> macawm, in the....Ubuntu support channel?  lol
[10:06] <NeXtDaY> coNP ok thanks
[10:06] <coNP> macawm: what do you mean by a window server?
[10:06] <omha> macawm, which?
[10:06] <macawm> w or gnome
[10:06] <macawm> x
[10:06] <SlimeyPete> apt-get install x-window-system
[10:07] <RoC_MasterMind> CaptainMorgan, put your command in a script...make a cronjob, ...your crontab should say "@reboot /path/to/your/script/thatsmarkedexecutable.sh".
[10:07] <SlimeyPete> then just install whatever WM takes your fancy
[10:07] <RoC_MasterMind> CaptainMorgan, that's the best way.
[10:07] <coNP> RoC_MasterMind, CaptainMorgan /etc/rc.local is for that
[10:07] <Bllz> grr this is so frustrating!  no music manager will recognize/sync to my ipod except songbird!  and unfortunately songbird doesnt support album art
[10:07] <rohan> natbet: you have any ideas on diagnosing more ?
[10:08] <coNP> RoC_MasterMind, CaptainMorgan sorry I am wrong, for this metacity issue both suggested solutions are wrong (rc.local, crontab)
[10:08] <Bllz> anybody know what the problem might be?
[10:08] <natbet> rohan: not really, I'm trying to find a way but haven't had much success yet
[10:08] <Bllz> i get this error message when i try to enable the ipod plugin in exaile:  unable to load python-gpod
[10:08] <rohan> natbet: can you please try frostwire or eclipse /
[10:08] <RoC_MasterMind> oh...didn't know it was metacity coNP CaptainMorgan
[10:09] <gnomefreak> Bllz: is it installed?
[10:09] <rohan> natbet: here, the computer becomes so disabled that i need to kill X !
[10:09] <RoC_MasterMind> What about System/Sessions coNP CaptainMorgan ?
[10:09] <Bllz> is what installed, gnomefreak?
[10:09] <coNP> RoC_MasterMind: no it is not a good idea
[10:09] <gnomefreak> Bllz: python-gpod?
[10:09] <coNP> CaptainMorgan: have you tried this session issue?
[10:09] <NeXtDaY> coNP: ok after extracting the files.. on desktop for example.. what the next step? sorry i am new to this.
[10:09] <natbet> rohan: I'm trying it out now
[10:09] <ForrestF> ive got a IBM NetVista with a P3 933mhz, when ever i try and boot the LiveCD it restarts any ideas?
[10:09] <rohan> natbet: great :-)
[10:09] <coNP> NeXtDaY: read README or INSTALL or other files supplied
[10:09] <Bllz> gnomefreak:  should be.  i installed the ipod plugin... if not can i install it from the command line?
[10:10] <rohan> natbet: then if it really exists, we can file a bug
[10:10] <NeXtDaY> coNP ok
[10:10] <coNP> NeXtDaY: if you don't understand from these what do to, you problably *really* shouldn't install that
[10:10] <natbet> have you tried reinstalling the sun java6?
[10:10] <gnomefreak> Bllz: sudo apt-get install python-gpod    if its installed you may need to file a bug on it
[10:10] <gnomefreak> NetersLandreau: theres a bug on it
[10:10] <gnomefreak> ack
[10:10] <rohan> natbet: yes, no help
[10:10] <gnomefreak> natbet: there is a bug on it
[10:10] <BrianBoyko> Hello.
[10:10] <rohan> natbet: memleak remains the same
[10:11] <Bllz> gnomefreak:  i'll give that a shot.  i might jsut go back to banshee... although i couldnt get that to sync either
[10:11] <natbet> gnomefreak: bug on sun java6?
[10:11] <ffm> What is the best data encyrption software for linux providing otf encyrption?

[10:11] <rajkalyan> who is a op
[10:11] <BrianBoyko> Anyone here in the channel from New Zealand?  Specifically, Auckland or Wellington? I wanted to ask about broadband there.  I know it's a bit OT, but I'm hoping you wouldn't begrudge me the slight breach of protocol.
[10:11] <rohan> gnomefreak: ok, then was there some workaround listed ?
[10:11] <gnomefreak> rajkalyan: what?
[10:12] <rajkalyan> whos an op
[10:12] <compengi> rajkalyan, gnomefreak is
[10:12] <ffm> BrianBoyko, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:12] <Bllz> gnomefreak:  I am stupid!  I tried to install it with as "sudo apt-get ..."  i forgot the "install" command!
[10:12] <elvirolo2> enemy territory keeps freezing here (ati radeon 7500, free drivers), many people seem to be experiencing this problem - does anyone what to do about it ?
[10:12] <gnomefreak> rajkalyan: me what can i do for you?
[10:12] <BrianBoyko> Thank you FFm
[10:12] <rajkalyan> #mIRCHelp
[10:12] <rohan> gnomefreak: he wants to know about ops on #kubuntu, because, according to him ,he was banned on #kubuntu for no reason (rajkalyan)
[10:12] <rajkalyan> can you unban me from #kubuntu
[10:12] <rajkalyan> me too
[10:12] <gnomefreak> rajkalyan: join #ubuntu-ops
[10:12] <rajkalyan> they banned me
[10:12] <foobarre> is there any way to install a fedora build of eclipse without including tomcat, jakarta, and all that junk?
[10:12] <rajkalyan> ok
[10:13] <RoC_MasterMind> why did they ban you rajkalyan ?
[10:13] <foobarre> bah, obviously wrong window :)
[10:13] <natbet> rohan, have you tried it with some other java?
[10:13] <gnomefreak> rohan: give me a minute i may have fixed version
[10:13] <rohan> natbet: no, and i wouldn't want to :)
[10:13] <Bllz> hey is there an ipod plugin for banshee?

[10:15] <Cristatus> is anyone here familiar with ndiswrapper?
[10:15] <rohan> gnomefreak: thanks :-)
[10:15] <benmayim> can anyone tell me how to get the java 6 runtime environment installed on ubuntu server 6.06?
[10:15] <gnomefreak> rohan: http://gnomefreak.youmortals.com/mozilla-testing/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/
[10:15] <rohan> gnomefreak: just sun-java6-jre or sun-java6-jdk too ?
[10:15] <Fallenou> hello
[10:15] <gnomefreak> rohan: all of them
[10:15] <gnomefreak> rohan: they all build in one package
[10:16] <ffm> What should I use to partition?
[10:16] <MrOtacon> whats the best gui cd buning tools to use with ubuntu - or what do people recommend?
[10:16] <CaptainMorgan> RoC_MasterMind, coNP I have my sessions saved automatically, so I don't see that helping..
[10:16] <ffm> !partition
[10:16] <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
[10:16] <Music_Shuffle> !gparted
[10:16] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[10:16] <Fallenou> i build myself a kernel and i get this error message booting on it Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0). what can it be ? i made a .deb
[10:16] <benmayim> just the jre
[10:16] <meheren> how do you mount a UFS file system under the live cd?
[10:16] <rohan> gnomefreak: it's the sun java 6 update 1 ?
[10:17] <rohan> or just java 6 ?
[10:17] <coNP> CaptainMorgan: so you tried default gnome session?
[10:17] <Bllz> do i need gtkpod to work my ipod with banshee?
[10:17] <gnomefreak> rohan: its the java that is in gutsy was in backports feisty iirc
[10:17] <rohan> gnomefreak: and more importantly, was the bug in ubuntu, or java from sun ?
[10:17] <gnomefreak> rohan: i built them for feisty
[10:17] <CaptainMorgan> not yet, coNP but I will next time I logout/login :)
[10:17] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: where does Bittorrent hide in the menus? It's not in apps > internet?
[10:17] <Cristatus> does nobody here use NDISWRAPPER?
[10:17] <CaptainMorgan> thanks
[10:17] <Fallenou> what about the error : Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0). ?
[10:17] <benmayim> i have jre 1.4 already installed, if it will update, fine, otherwise just java 6
[10:18] <urso_> helllo
[10:18] <rohan> gnomefreak: java6 is binary, it doesn't matter even if you upgrade the version while on stable, i think ? but then i wouldn't know much
[10:18] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, bittorrent'
[10:18] <gnomefreak> rohan: first let me know if its fixed than i will tell you, they install fine here and no problems but im in middle of something atm
[10:18] <urso_> someone knows where i can download the  ubuntu 7.10 to try it?
[10:18] <urso_> :x
[10:18] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, the program installed as part of 'bittorrent' is CLI...no menu entry needed...
[10:18] <rohan> gnomefreak: ok, sure .. downloading as we speak
[10:18] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, unless you mean bittorrent-gui
[10:18] <MrOtacon> nm - found k3b
[10:19] <rohan> gnomefreak: though it'll take me a _long_ time to download .. near about an hour )
[10:19] <gnomefreak> took me all day to upload sunjava5 and 6
[10:19] <Cristatus> I'll take that as a no then
[10:19] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: so I have to run bittorrent-gui at the CL?
[10:20] <rohan> gnomefreak: aww :)
[10:20] <mike3_> Some of the ops are idiots. People should really make a smart decision when it comes to selecting ops.
[10:20] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, 'bittorrent' is CLI, 'bittorrent-gui' is GUI.
[10:20] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: or, IRC, you said I can just click on the URL and that will fire up bittorrent?
[10:20] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, yes once "bittorrent-gui" is installed, you can just click torrent links.
[10:21] <benmayim> How can I install jre 6 on ubuntu server 6.06?
[10:21] <user602> is there a web browser for gnome that supports browser identity changing?
[10:22] <rohan> natbet: are you trying gnomefreak's fixes to ?
[10:22] <RoC_MasterMind> user602, you mean like "user agent switching"??  There is a user-agent spoofer firefox extension.
[10:22] <DigitalNinja1> Anyone using the Intel 82946GZ/GL for video. I'm having problems with getting good video
[10:22] <kane77> how can I convert .mov files to something that is easier to play??
[10:22] <natbet> rohan: yup
[10:22] <Thorne> user602:  firefox does with a plugin
[10:22] <RoC_MasterMind> kane77, well...ffmpeg
[10:22] <gnomefreak> rohan: these fixes are for something else so let me know if fixed i will talk to back porters
[10:22] <Sergio> Lol hai
[10:22] <Sergio> WINDOWS BOWNS
[10:23] <Sergio> WINDOWS FTWWW
[10:23] <Sergio> OMG LOL
[10:23] <gnomefreak> Sergio: stop
[10:23] <Sergio> WINDOWS OWNER
[10:23] <urso_> someone knows if the ubuntu 7.10 will goto beta ?! to we can try it?
[10:23] <gnomefreak> ok dont
[10:23] <sacater> someone mplease remove
[10:23] <sacater> gnomefreak: good :P
[10:23] <gnomefreak> sacater: you want to be removed?
[10:23] <rohan> gnomefreak: ok .. if you can get them to upgrade to sun java 6 update 1, it'll be great .. it has security fixes ..
[10:23] <sacater> gnomefreak: no :P
[10:23] <meheren> how do you mount a UFS file system under the live cd?
[10:23] <Thorne> windows owners get owned by bufferoverflows...too easy, sit, next.
[10:23] <user602> No I mean like.. some sites support internet explorer only.. is there any way you can change the web browser identity to trick it into loading anyway?
[10:23] <sacater> user602 does have a point
[10:23] <gnomefreak> rohan: when it hits here they will be
[10:24] <sacater> ive had that trouble once or twice
[10:24] <Sam331> UBUNTU!!!!
[10:24] <Thorne> user602: get the ie plugin
[10:24] <gnomefreak> sacater: please drop the caps
[10:24] <Bllz> hey what's that fancy/artsy ubuntu distro?
[10:24] <rohan> gnomefreak: ok :)
[10:24] <Thorne> it will render the ie page
[10:24] <Sam331> Is there a way to know if the CD i burned got al the files i need?
[10:24] <sacater> Sam331: eh
[10:24] <dotpavan> user602, opera, or FF has user agent switcher
[10:24] <sacater> gnomefreak: eh
[10:24] <sacater> gnomefreak: you mean Sam331
[10:24] <gnomefreak> sacater: yes :(
[10:24] <Music_Shuffle> Bllz, like...Ubuntu Studio?
[10:24] <sacater> :P
[10:25] <RoC_MasterMind> user602, those sites are broken, you can report them from within Firefox...sorry sometimes web developers are bad.
 eh I see it has tons of flags, how do I convert with ffmpeg?
[10:25] <Thorne> im runnng studioubuntu now
[10:25] <Bllz> Music_Shuffle, yes!  can I install it via apt-get?
[10:25] <Thorne> i like it
[10:25] <RoC_MasterMind> !ffmpeg | kane77
[10:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ffmpeg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:25] <vermoos_> whats the desktop on feisty fawn?
[10:25] <natbet> kane77: what are you trying to convert?
[10:25] <vermoos_> kde or gnome?
[10:25] <Music_Shuffle> Bllz, umm.  I think its a whole separate distro, like Kubuntu, but there might be a metapackage of some sort
[10:25] <natbet> vermoos_: gnome
[10:25] <Music_Shuffle> !studio
[10:25] <ubotu> 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.
[10:25] <Thorne> gnone is the default WM
[10:25] <RoC_MasterMind> kane77, ffmpeg takes an input and desired output file...maybe like ffmpeg input.mov output.mpeg
[10:25] <tiesto> hello
[10:25] <vermoos_> natbet thankyou
[10:25] <kane77> natbet, .mov to anything...
[10:25] <Music_Shuffle> Bllz, check that factoid out.  :)
[10:26] <Bllz> Music_Shuffle, what's the major difference between ubuntu and ubuntu studio?
[10:26] <enviouz> all you have to do is add the ub studio repos
[10:26] <Bllz> okay can do =)
[10:26] <Thorne> theres also kubuntu and xubuntu
[10:26] <Thorne> studio ubuntu is more geared towards multimedia produstion
[10:26] <natbet> kane77: hmm, I haven't tested .mov files yet, but it usually works with this 'ffmpeg -i file.mov newfile.ext'
[10:26] <RoC_MasterMind> tha'ts it
[10:26] <Music_Shuffle> Bllz, umm...it just adds more multimedia apps?  lol
[10:27] <kane77> natbet, ok thx I'll try that
[10:27] <Thorne> it basically turns you ubunto to osx :D
[10:27] <blue|palm> how do i change the ownership of a file from root to a user?
[10:27] <rohan> gnomefreak: there are no sun-java6* packages in feisty-backports. the only ones are in multiverse
[10:27] <RoC_MasterMind> haha
[10:27] <sparrw> blue|palm: sudo chown username file
[10:27] <Thorne> blue|palm: goto properties
[10:27] <Bllz> Music_Shuffle, great!  that sounds like what i'm looking for. thanks
[10:27] <Thorne> or the chown way
[10:28] <Fallenou> Can the fact that i have Kernel panic booting come from the fact that i didn't install the kernel_headers.deb ?
[10:28] <gnomefreak> rohan: the multiverse ones but i swear they were backported unless that was to edgy
[10:28] <sparrw> Fallenou: almost certainly not
[10:28] <Thorne> Fallenou: yes
[10:28] <Fallenou> :o
[10:28] <Music_Shuffle> ...lol
[10:28] <blue|palm> Thorne, i meant via cmd line :P sry
[10:28] <rohan> gnomefreak: yes, edgy has sun java 6 backport
[10:28] <sparrw> rofl
[10:28] <blue|palm> sparrw, thanks
[10:28] <Thorne> oh sorry blue|palm
[10:28] <Fallenou> cause i did make-kpkg kernel_image, and i never manage to make it work
[10:28] <sparrw> kernel_headers is just .h files for compiling other packages
[10:28] <persica> Fallenou: You only need the headers for compilation and a few applications.
[10:28] <Fallenou> i always have kernel panic
[10:28] <gnomefreak> rohan: thats the one i remember doint than :( brb checking on something
[10:28] <RoC_MasterMind> I'll give it one last shot...ReZound seems broken out of the box...it won't play any sound...it seems like it could be a sound server issue, but I don't see a Preferences/Options plce anywhere in the menus, and it was broken as soon as I installed it..I know it works, i've used it on KNOPPIX...does this error look familiar to anyone?  http://image.bayimg.com/ca/ce/ea/ab/c.jpg
[10:28] <rohan> gnomefreak: ok :)
[10:28] <Fallenou> i always have that Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0).
[10:28] <sparrw> oh, and btw
[10:29] <blue|palm> Thorne, no worries :D my question was vague...
[10:29] <persica> Fallenou: Ah, this is right after compiling?
[10:29] <sparrw> it should be linux_headers
[10:29] <Thorne> if youre kernel is panicing get it prozac that works
[10:29] <sparrw> debian, and thus ubuntu, doesnt just run on the linux kernel
[10:29] <Fallenou> persica < yea after compiling, and installing .deb and rebooting on new kernel
[10:29] <sparrw> calling linux kernels 'kernel' leaves little room for other kernels
[10:29] <Fallenou> i should installe kernel_headers too ?
[10:30] <Fallenou> and so do make-kpkg kernel_headers
[10:30] <persica> Fallenou: Ah, it may not have the right drivers and such.  A common use for those headers it to use them as a base configuration.
[10:30] <kane77> natbet, actualy the mpeg extension didnt work (the video is a screencast with only 5fps and it complained about mpeg not being able to have 5fps) but avi worked...
[10:30] <natbet> kane77: ok, did audio and everything work with it?
[10:30] <Fallenou> persica i think i build the right drivers into my kernel (reiserfs and driver for driver disk) :o
[10:30] <ForrestF> ive got a IBM NetVista with a P3 933mhz, when ever i try and boot the LiveCD it restarts any ideas? ive tried noacpi and it seems to crash right around isapnp
[10:30] <persica> Fallenou: Did you start from existing headers, (e.g. linux-headers-686?)
[10:30] <kane77> natbet, I'm just waiting for the result :)
[10:30] <natbet> natbet: ok
[10:31] <persica> Fallenou: the panic won't be because you don't have the headers installed for the kernel you're booting.  The panic will probably be a missing element in the kernel
[10:31] <kane77> natbet, yep it works fine, thank you
[10:31] <Fallenou> persica < i just downloaded last vanilla sources on kernel.org (2.6.21) and make xconfig and make-kpkg kernel_image and dpkg -i my.deb and reboot
 Fallenou: the panic won't be because you don't have the headers installed for the kernel you're booting.  The panic will probably be a missing element in the kernel < ok this is a point.
[10:31] <natbet> kane77: you're welcome :)
[10:32] <Fallenou> i exactly did : CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --append_to_version=fallen kernel_image
[10:32] <persica> Fallenou: It's hard to get all the right things enabled if you don't know what you're doing.  You might try getting the source for your current kernel, the headers for your current kernel, copy the .config from the headers to your src dir, then reconfigure and recompile.  That way you can start from a known-good configuration and take things out experimentally piece by piece.
[10:32] <PriceChild> Fallenou, You really are on your own for custom kernels... anything could go wrong. Why are you compiling a new kernel? have you see !kernel ?
[10:32] <Fallenou> (without initrd)
[10:32] <Fallenou> PriceChild < no i didn't see !kernel
[10:32] <Fallenou> !kernel
[10:32] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[10:32] <kane77> natbet, now I'm finaly able to scroll through the movie... (the mov just jumped to the beginning...
[10:32] <PriceChild> Fallenou, that last link is a good start
[10:32] <sparrw> is there any support for ubuntu on non-linux kernels?
[10:33] <Fallenou> PriceChild < ok thanks
[10:33] <natbet> yeah, movs do that
[10:33] <PriceChild> sparrw, there is no non-linux kernel based ubuntu...
[10:33] <natbet> kind of lame
[10:33] <fuzzy_logic> sparrw: ubuntu can't run on a kernel that isn't linux
[10:33] <Fallenou> persica < the problem is that on basic .config from ubuntu's kernel there are toooo much things , too much modules etc
[10:33] <mojo> anyone know any good review sites besides anadtech to help me select a new mobo?  i am looking am2 for home linux workstation, and can't find the good chipset comparisons and such that anadnd was so good for back when i got my 939 board.  i am also interested in any sites that talk about linux compatibility on am2 boards, like with integrated graphics, sound, or GigE on the boards, etc.
[10:33] <tunafisu> so, I installed windows on another partition and it kinda fuxxored my mbr. How can I fix it?
[10:33] <Fallenou> persica < there are two reasons why i want to compile my own kernel : to reduce the number of driver compiled and the number of modules, and to have NO_HZ (in .21)
[10:34] <IdleOne> !grub | tunafisu
[10:34] <ubotu> tunafisu: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:35] <SurfnKid> !ipw3945
[10:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ipw3945 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:35] <nicholas> hi people, why would my sound be crackling out of my speakers in ubuntu
[10:36] <PriceChild> nicholas, turn the volume down
[10:36] <persica> Fallenou: The safest way to pair-down a kernel would be to incrementally remove things.  Then if it doesn't work you know it's one of the things you just removed.  if you're building a new kernel from no config, then if it doesn't work it could be one of MANY things you didn't compile in.
[10:36] <nicholas> nope
[10:36] <nicholas> thats not it
[10:36] <nicholas> it only does it in ubuntu
[10:36] <Fallenou> persica < yes :/ that's the problem :s
[10:36] <sparrw> PriceChild: :(
[10:36] <dan> hi all, does anyone have any experience benchmarking disk performance in linux?
[10:36] <rohan> natbet: how fast is your net ? my speed is so slow that it'll take me a lot more time ..
[10:36] <sparrw> fuzzy_logic: im curious if you would be willing to bet on that?  :)
[10:37] <persica> Fallenou: but if you're not booting from a custom kernel then this really isn't the best place to seek help, as custom kernels are just too difficult to support and aren't officially part of Ubuntu.
[10:37] <sparrw> dan: theres a program, with a girl's name, i forget what its called...
[10:37] <zabin> does anyone know of any dvd encoding software?
[10:37] <natbet> rohan: just finished installing and am running frostwire now
[10:37] <dan> sparrw: bonnie maybe....i've been googling all day and trying different programs
[10:37] <Fallenou> persica i actually am booting from an official ubuntu kernel, but i'm searching for compiling 2.6.21 :p
[10:37] <blackace11> Hello, can i get assistance with a xbox 360 controller... my new ubuntu doesn't recognize it for what i know...
[10:37] <rohan> natbet: ah ok ..
[10:38] <zabin> does anyone know of any dvd encoding software
[10:38] <thirso> is there a similar software do DVD Shrink? I want to make dvd backups and burn to a dvd-r
[10:38] <KjetilK_> is the iwlwifi driver being taken out of gutsy? While feisty has .ko files and  .h files as well as the microcode, gutsy seems to have only the microcode...
[10:38] <Fallenou> persica < can i get the .config of my actual kernel ?
[10:38] <nicholas> I can play music off windows fine, and the radio, and cd's but when I play sounds in ubuntu at the same level it crackles
[10:38] <KjetilK_> compare http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=iwlwifi&searchmode=searchword&case=insensitive&version=feisty&arch=i386
[10:38] <Fallenou> in order to remove step by step useless things
[10:38] <nicholas> doesn't make any sense
[10:38] <rohan> KjetilK_: i guess #ubuntu+1 would be a better place to ask
[10:38] <Scotty> Oi, I apologize for the "Windows rules" moron that came in here earlier. He's from one of my channels and he's been reprimanded.
[10:38] <zabin> does anyone know of any dvd encoding software
[10:38] <nanda_> does anyone know a quick way to compress a bunch of mp3s?
[10:38] <rohan> zabin: http://assente.altervista.org/top_10_best_linux_dvd_ripping_and_encoding_software/
[10:38] <KjetilK_> rohan: ah, ok, thanks
[10:38] <nanda_> like a script for nautilus + lame?
[10:39] <dan> can bonnie++ be used to benchmark usb flash drives?
[10:39] <rohan> zabin: sometimes a simple google search helps better :)
[10:39] <sparrw> dan: bonnie++, try that
[10:39] <iTurtle> how do I open a .rar file?
[10:39] <mojo> thirso: try k9copy
[10:39] <sparrw> iTurtle: unrar
[10:39] <blackace11> Hello, can i get assistance with a xbox 360 controller... my new ubuntu doesn't recognize it for what i know...
[10:39] <iTurtle> sparrw: ok. thanks! :)
[10:39] <dan> i suspect not :(
[10:39] <persica> Fallenou: when you install one of ubuntu's stock kernels there's always a matching linux-headers package.
[10:39] <thirso> mojo: yeah i will, thnaksw
[10:39] <natbet> rohan: what do you use for dvds?
[10:39] <alecw1> When I open "FrostWire", the P2P client, it gives me a splash screen, and then the actual program opens up. But, the whole window is completely white. it worked before, and now, it doesn't work. Is this a problem with Java?
[10:40] <rohan> natbet: to view dvd's ? kaffeine
[10:40] <persica> Fallenou: That header package installs a directory in /usr/src which has the version of the kernel and inside that is a .configure.
[10:40] <Tomcat_> alecw1: Do you use compiz, beryl or something?
[10:40] <persica> Fallenou: er, .config
[10:40] <alecw1> Compiz-Fusion, Tomcat
[10:40] <rohan> natbet: i've never tried encoding or ripping dvd's though ..
[10:40] <Fallenou> persica < ok i must have it
[10:40] <Tomcat_> alecw1: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Java
[10:40] <embrace> Hi everyone
[10:40] <rohan> zabin: i think k9copy is the best for you ..
[10:40] <alecw1> Tomcat_, is this a fix?
[10:40] <blackace11> if i can get assistance just let me know who to watch for...when you get done
[10:40] <Tomcat_> alecw1: Yes.
[10:40] <thirso> Where is the file to configure the gnome menu?
[10:40] <Tomcat_> alecw1: And an explanation.
[10:40] <embrace> how could i list the /dev/name assigned to my cdroms?
[10:41] <natbet> rohan: btw, frostwire didn't seem to bog down the system at all, my work blocks p2p ports so I can't connect but it seems pretty stable
[10:41] <alecw1> Ok, thanks! :D
[10:41] <Fallenou> persica so in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic/.config  ?
[10:41] <rajkalyan> yo peoples
[10:41] <rohan> natbet: wow .. nice .. eclipse ? or you don't have that handy /
[10:41] <rohan> eclispe was teh killer
[10:41] <thirso> Where is the file to edit the gnome menu? alacarte wont do what i need.
[10:41] <persica> Fallenou: if that matches your 'uname -r' then yes.
[10:41] <Kitagua> Hi i have question about lvm on a software raid device. I have two harddisk sda and sdb. I created one partition on each sda1 sdb1. I combined them to a software raid level1 (md0) using mdadm. Now i used md0 for lvm (pvcreate /dev/md0) If i use fdisk -l it shows me md0 to have a non valid partition table. Is this a problem? Would it have been better and possible to create another partition on md0 and using this partition for lvm ?
[10:41] <rohan> thirso: what do you need to edit that's not included in alacarte ?
[10:42] <zabin> does anyone know of any dvd encoding software?
[10:42] <natbet> rohan: nope, I don't have eclipse
[10:42] <Fallenou> persica < ok so that's good, thank you for all your advices :)
[10:42] <rohan> natbet: ok .. i'll try it out then :-)
[10:42] <blackace11> Hello, can i get assistance with a xbox 360 controller... my new ubuntu doesn't recognize it for what i know...
[10:42] <thirso> rohan: Wine menu is named wine-wine, when i click properties to try to rename it nothing happens
[10:42] <persica> Kitagua: LVM doesn't really care if you have a partition.  It really just wants to interact with a block device, whether that be a raw disk, partition, or md device.
[10:42] <persica> Fallenou: good luck!  Welcome to kernel hacking.
[10:42] <zabin> does anyone know of any dvd encoding software
[10:42] <natbet> rohan: I tried using it awhile ago for java programming, but it ticked me off (couldn't figure out how to use it and had about a day to finish a project)
[10:42] <Luc_Aylesbury> Hi folks, I've got a weird problem with cron. Basically I execute /etc/rc2.d/S89cron start but no cron instance is spawned :(
[10:43] <Luc_Aylesbury> I've verified with ps aux | grep cron
[10:43] <blackace11> Hello, can i get assistance with a xbox 360 controller... my new ubuntu doesn't recognize it for what i know...
[10:43] <SurfnKid> you people suck, but ubuntu rocks :p
[10:43] <zabin> does anyone know of any dvd encoding software?
[10:43] <Luc_Aylesbury> Hope maybe someone has seem something similar before because am slightly stumped :o)
[10:43] <rohan> natbet: oh .. i find it very convenient .. tho' for me it's overkill because i don't use many of the "heavy" features .. just use it as a simple editor ..
[10:43] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: Do I need to DL from a Bittorrent specific site, or will any ftp, http DL work?
[10:43] <Luc_Aylesbury> I agree with you SurfnKid, ubuntu is very mature
[10:43] <rohan> natbet: i guess if i tweak vim a bit, i'd not need to use eclipse
[10:43] <UBUNTU> HI! I am newbie here... does enyone know how to patch KDE for FreeBSD?
[10:43] <kduboi1> zabin: checkout dvd::rip or transcode
[10:43] <Kitagua> persica: ok thank you.
[10:43] <Luc_Aylesbury> zabin try dvdstyler
[10:43] <Fallenou> persica < hh i already did it under gentoo ^^ and i worked that's why i am puzzled :p
[10:43] <macawm> After trying to install gnome I am stuff with a screen of colored vertical lines, what have I done wrong?
[10:43] <rohan> natbet: but then frostwire is a must ;)
[10:44] <Master_Z> hello everyone, I have a problem and need help. My Sigmatel STAC9200 is detected by feisty, and I can even increase and decrease the volume, but there is no sound. Any way to fix this ?
[10:44] <rapter> I installed ati catalist , yes how do I uninstale this thing.
[10:44] <macawm> typo stuck, not stuff
[10:44] <persica> Fallenou: Ah, Gentoo...
[10:44] <Fallenou> persica < there is one more point  :  i don't use initrd for my kernel which panic, cause my /boot is too small and initrd are huge file
[10:44] <rohan> Master_Z: i know you'll hate this answer .. but have you tried unmuting ?
[10:44] <persica> Fallenou: Oh, no initrd?
[10:44] <Master_Z> rohan: I dont think its muted, I have went into alsamixer and I see nothing muted.
[10:44] <Fallenou> yes
[10:44] <persica> Fallenou: what are you passing to GRUB then?
[10:45] <SurfnKid> Luc_Aylesbury: im just speechless period, and im looking for some new drivers for this new wifi card. Nothing like doing it on-your-own instead of just having things ready, finished, compiled, but its good sometimes that theyre not
[10:45] <natbet> rohan: I probably would too but time constraints didn't allow me to learn it. I ended up using blueJ and netbeans
[10:45] <rohan> Master_Z: ok .. no idea then,  sorry
[10:45] <dan> anyone familiar with iozone benchmarking tool?
[10:45] <eifzon> When i tried to install gtk-chtheme, it said: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6

[10:45] <Luc_Aylesbury> SurfnKid, what distro is that?
[10:45] <rohan> natbet: ah .. does blueJ have summary of a function when i hover over it ?
[10:45] <Master_Z> anyone else have a possible solution ?
[10:45] <Luc_Aylesbury> SurfnKid, I didn't catch it :)
[10:45] <blackace11> Hello, can i get assistance with a xbox 360 controller... my new ubuntu doesn't recognize it for what i know...
[10:46] <rajkalyan> YO!
[10:46] <Luc_Aylesbury> blackace11, plug in and do a jstest /dev/js0
[10:46] <persica> Fallenou: I believe it needs an initrd to boot.  Though honestly I've never even tried booting without one.
[10:46] <natbet> rohan: nope, bluej is notepad with a java compiler hooked into it
[10:46] <imbecile> any advice on how to fix this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[10:46] <blackace11> ok thanks i'll get on that
[10:46] <persica> Fallenou: I think you ought to add the initrd option to make-kpkg.
[10:46] <Fallenou> persica < oh :s but initrd are enormous files because i compile too much modules !
[10:46] <Luc_Aylesbury> blackace11, If you need any more help I will try :)
[10:46] <SurfnKid> Luc_Aylesbury: edgy
[10:46] <blackace11> The program 'jstest' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[10:46] <blackace11> sudo apt-get install joystick
[10:46] <blackace11> Make sure you have the 'universe' component enabled
[10:46] <blackace11> bash: jstest: command not found
[10:46] <alecw1> Tomcat_, I looked at that guide, and I don't know how to do it... I'm really new to Ubuntu. Can you guide me through the process?
[10:46] <Luc_Aylesbury> SurfnKid, Ah I'm feistying it over here
[10:46] <natbet> rohan: netbeans had that, kind of nice but sometimes annoying at times
[10:46] <n2diy> Do I need to DL from a Bittorrent specific site, or will any ftp, http DL work? I'm trying to grab Fiesty.
[10:47] <rohan> natbet: ah ok .. i guess both netbeans and eclispe are overkill for me :D
[10:47] <Luc_Aylesbury> blackace11, do what it says blackace11
[10:47] <persica> Fallenou: How huge?  My 2.6.18-4-686 initrd is only 4.3M.
[10:47] <Tomcat_> alecw1: Not currently, sorry. But I guess somebody can.
[10:47] <Fallenou> persica < i am not specialist of kernel compiling so i usually choose more module in order to have all that i need, which result in huge initrd files :s
[10:47] <blackace11> how?
[10:47] <SurfnKid> Luc_Aylesbury: bah lucky you, I've gotten to stick with edgy cuz ive got my list of drivers all sorted out :P but my hardware keeps changing dang it so I might just go up to the Fiesty OS and start from scratch
[10:47] <Fallenou> persica < mine is 120 Mo :s
[10:47] <Tomcat_> alecw1: Might be a good idea to ask in the compizfusion channel as well.
[10:47] <alecw1> Ok, thanks Tomcat_ !
[10:47] <natbet> rohan: :D like killing a flea with a sledgehammer
[10:47] <Fallenou> i don't understand why they are so huge
[10:47] <persica> Fallenou: Wow.
[10:47] <alecw1> ok
[10:47] <rohan> natbet: exactly :D
[10:47] <alecw1> what channel is that?
[10:47] <rapter> How do I uninstale ATI catalist in feisty gnome , it messes up my xgl..
[10:47] <Fallenou> all people i tell this say "wooo !"
[10:47] <blackace11> ok
[10:47] <blackace11> gotcha it doing it now
[10:47] <rohan> natbet: and what's more, current i am just doing console programming .. so it's all teh more overkill ;)
[10:48] <Luc_Aylesbury> SurfnKid, you wont look back, I can assure you
[10:48] <persica> Fallenou: you're getting out of my realm of kernel knowledge, but you need initrd unless you're doing something special.
[10:48] <Luc_Aylesbury> SurfnKid, I don't suppose you have much knowledge of cron?
[10:48] <SurfnKid> Luc_Aylesbury: yeah, didnt look Dapper back
[10:48] <Luc_Aylesbury> SurfnKid,  :D
[10:48] <SurfnKid> Luc_Aylesbury: Yes, I do not
[10:48] <sparrw> fuzzy_logic: since debian will run on other kernels, i would be surprised if you cant get ubuntu to do the same
[10:48] <blackace11> william@william-laptop:~$ jstest /dev/js0

[10:48] <persica>  Fallenou: I don't know much about reducing the size of the initrd.
[10:48] <Luc_Aylesbury> blackace11, go into the private room
[10:48] <Luc_Aylesbury> blackace11, I will tell you what to do and post the solution
[10:48] <blackace11> how?
[10:49] <paulk> can someone help me to figure out how to point grub to my XP partition?
[10:49] <natbet> rohan: what exactly is console programming, scripts?
[10:49] <Fallenou> persica < i thought initrd was used for loading modules needed for booting, just like FS module (ext3 reiserfs disk drive etc...) but i have built them in "built-in" (not in module) so i guess i don"t need initrd :s

[10:51] <rambo3> Master_Z, yes
[10:52] <Pirate_Hunter> Luc_Aylesbury: I think its gnutella if that how you spell it
[10:52] <Luc_Aylesbury> zabin, ffmpeg to create the .vob files
[10:52] <Luc_Aylesbury> zabin, then dvdstyler to build the menu's
[10:52] <DShepherd> paulk, ok.. hmm.. ok type sudo fdisk -l and paste that in the pastebin..
[10:52] <Luc_Aylesbury> zabin, works for me
[10:52] <blackace11> how do i go into that private room!?!?
[10:52] <babo> eth1 seems to drop 100% of packets, and it's labelled in ipconfig as having Interrupt 16 ...
[10:52] <natbet> rohan: I don't, that was for college
[10:52] <babo> can anyone help ?

[10:53] <Luc_Aylesbury> Assassin`, mkisofs mkhybrid
[10:53] <zabin> ffmpeg*
[10:53] <Luc_Aylesbury> zabin, listen
[10:53] <dan> anyone used iozone before to benchmark disk speeds?
[10:53] <natbet> rohan: yup, how's the download coming?
[10:53] <zabin> Yes.
[10:53] <Luc_Aylesbury> zabin, try apt-cache search ffmpeg
[10:53] <Assassin`> Luc_Aylesbury: what is that code
[10:53] <rohan> natbet: done
[10:53] <barry253> anyone? help with ATI? i'm not a newbie, just running into trouble
[10:53] <Ki1> Hi!
[10:53] <Luc_Aylesbury> Assassin`, k3b
[10:54] <Luc_Aylesbury> Assassin`, k3b is a program
[10:54] <Luc_Aylesbury> it will make an .ISO from a folder for you
[10:54] <Luc_Aylesbury> Assassin`, apt-get install k3b
[10:54] <Master_Z> rambo: I dont think it worked, I can only mute a couple things, and it didnt work, sound still not working
[10:54] <rohan> natbet: damn it SHIT ! i downloaded the java 5 version
[10:54] <Assassin`> yes i have k3b
[10:54] <Assassin`> i didn't know it would do that
[10:54] <Assassin`> let me try
[10:54] <natbet> rohan: ouch
[10:54] <zabin> Luc_Aylesbury: so you are saying you use ffmpeg to make .vob files and then you have to use dvdstyler to burn them?
[10:54] <paulk> DSheperd: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27327/
[10:54] <rohan> natbet: awww.. height of carelessnes
[10:55] <Luc_Aylesbury> zabin yup
[10:55] <paulk> i added menu.1st and device.map to the pastebin aswell
[10:55] <rambo3> Master_Z, i dont
[10:55] <rambo3> know then
[10:55] <DShepherd> paulk, kool.. thanks.. checking it out now
[10:55] <zabin> Luc_aylesbury: does ffmpeg have a gui?
[10:55] <babo> anyone know what to do about my system not recognizing the ethernet interface ?
[10:55] <rambo3> try searching ubuntu forums and alsa webpage for  your card
[10:55] <paulk> cheers mate
[10:56] <DShepherd> paulk, the net is kinda slow here so bare with me :-)
[10:56] <sacater> P
[10:56] <sacater> :P
[10:56] <paulk> no probs
[10:56] <Pirate_Hunter> Will bitorrent kill my main HD if I use it cause my third HD is dead "yes I mean DEAD" and I need to use it but Im wondering if its a good idea on my main HD?
[10:56] <crparr> Hi! When you boot the alternative CD, you can selech to only install the text mode parts. I'd like to create an usb stick with the same install files needed to complete the Text mode Files. But how? And what files are needed?
[10:56] <MarieK> any suggestions to fix  gtk-gnutella ...it crashes everytime I try to open it
[10:56] <Xenon3DN> Anyone have a prebuilt Samba 3.0.25 package for Dapper Drake?
[10:56] <crparr> It shall be for any ubuntu based distributon
[10:56] <zabin> Luc_Aylesbury: does ffmpeg have a gui?
[10:56] <Assassin`> im not seeing how... maybe with the data dvd project??
[10:56] <Ki1> Got a question on networking.... As you see I'm on the irc, so part of my network is working... Same thing is with Windows. I just can't get on the internet- irc and dc++ works fine. Are there any ways to configure my network, to use the www?
[10:56] <rajkalyan> help
[10:56] <barry253> ffmpeg does not have a default GUI but there are 3rd party GUIs to work with it
[10:56] <natbet> Pirate_Hunter: bittorrent shouldn't affect the drive, writing files to a drive shouldn't kill it
[10:57] <rohan> oh well natbet , here i go again, downloading all the other packages yet once more
[10:57] <Elagic> Pirate_Hunter yeah why that crazy idea?
[10:57] <zabin> barry253: do you know how to get one?
[10:57] <sacater> Ki1: could your router be blocking any ports, is it set up correctly
[10:57] <Master_Z> rambo: I went to the list, but Sigmatel isnt on there
[10:57] <Ki1> sacater- seems so...
[10:57] <iphv37> how do i create an internet lan with windoze xp? :)
[10:57] <sacater> Ki1: did you set it up yourself or was it set up with defaults by a company
[10:58] <barry253> zabin: i haven't tried any, here's one i found via a google search: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmffmpeg/
[10:58] <natbet> iphv37: file sharing? use samba
[10:58] <Master_Z> why do you people criticize windows?
[10:58] <barry253> zabin: i suggest trying ffmpeg in the terminal window
[10:58] <Master_Z> Linux is great, but windows is more complete
[10:58] <MarieK> Can anyone tell me how to upgrade my system?
[10:58] <barry253> zabin: it's got very powerful command line options
[10:58] <Master_Z> EXEs > terminal imo anyday
[10:58] <Pirate_Hunter> natbet: yeah thats what I thought but the long extent of using apps like uttorent seem to have an effect on the actual HD, I think its cause of the disk caching but I could be wrong, eitherway my third HD is dead and if I try to connect it, it will stop the system from booting
[10:58] <sacater> Master_Z: we dont criticise as such, most of us just prefer open-source
[10:58] <Ki1> Sacater- A provider- they just cut 80 port :(
[10:58] <barry253> anyone have good experience with installing ATI binary drivers?
[10:58] <tarzeau> sacater: i prefer free software
[10:59] <tarzeau> barry253: yes
[10:59] <iphv37> natbet, do u know a "easy steps to"?
[10:59] <DShepherd> paulk, ok.. here's my diagnosis.. i am kinda new to this too... but it may help
[10:59] <sacater> Ki1: hmm, what is the router model
[10:59] <Ki1> Tried to install tor, but without acces to web repositories it' s not that easy...
[10:59] <VivekShamraj>  I went through the document of Parted in official GNU parted site .....but i've a question can i simply partition the new hdd (the 2nd one) with parted by downloading parted in my old hdd !!! ???
[10:59] <barry253> tarzeau - can you help me troubleshoot?  i followed several guides but can't get Direct Rendering working
[10:59] <Luc_Aylesbury> zabin, for i in *.avi ; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -target dvd "$i.mpg" ; done
[10:59] <sacater> Ki1: ill see if there are anything about it on the web
[10:59] <DShepherd> in your device.map file... sda is hd2 .. in your grub.. your have sda as pointing to hd1
[10:59] <supremesonic> why does so many come here to say linux is bad and windows rocks/pwnz/owns or whatever word they use....
[10:59] <natbet> iphv37: honestly no, if memory serves, I just installed the samba package through synaptic and it configured itself, try googling ubuntu samba
[10:59] <Assassin`> i want to make this folder into an iso image
[10:59] <pi3> what can be the cause for this problem?: checking for gcc... gcc
[10:59] <pi3> checking for C compiler default output file name...
[10:59] <pi3> configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[10:59] <DShepherd> in your device.map file... sda is hd2 .. in your grub.. your have sda as pointing to hd1 << --paulk
[11:00] <Assassin`> how do i do it?
[11:00] <tarzeau> barry253: did you download the binary driver from ati and installed it?
[11:00] <Ki1> Sacater, please, don't bother. Probably tomorrow I'll fix that problem myself. Thank you.
[11:00] <tarzeau> barry253: that's what i did. and it worked
[11:00] <natbet> Pirate_Hunter: hmm, I suppose it's possible, was it an older drive?
[11:00] <supremesonic> pi3, try sudo apt-get install gcc g++
[11:00] <snipex> is ubuntu's default firewall good enough to hold 1 night without being hacked ?
[11:00] <barry253> yes, followed all instructions here: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/ATI_AMD_fglrx_Edgy
[11:00] <Assassin`> with k3b can i do it with the data dvd project option?
[11:00] <VivekShamraj>  I went through the document of Parted in official GNU parted site .....but i've a question can i simply partition the new hdd (the 2nd one) with parted by downloading parted in my old hdd !!! ???
[11:00] <iphv37> natbet, i'd already googled it! :$
[11:00] <paulk> DShepherd, yeah i ponted it to hd0,2 but no joy
[11:00] <sacater> Ki1: your welcome
[11:00] <DShepherd> paulk, however hd1 according to your device.map is pointing to /dev/hdd.. which I am sure what that is..
[11:01] <paulk> DShepherd, sorry hd2,o
[11:01] <barry253> tarzeau: did you use a specific guide?
[11:01] <snipex> is ubuntu's default firewall good enough to hold 1 night without being hacked ?
[11:01] <tarzeau> barry253: no, none
[11:01] <rohan> tarzeau: did you do !popcon in #debian today ? :-)
[11:01] <RoC_MasterMind> snipex, by default there are no ports open.  you are fine.
[11:01] <sacater> snipex: yep, most likely
[11:01] <tarzeau> snipex: if you read harden-doc you don't need a firewall
[11:01] <snipex> ok
[11:01] <snipex> ty ppl
[11:01] <natbet> !samba | iphv37
[11:01] <barry253> ok will try the direct route
[11:01] <ubotu> iphv37: 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
[11:01] <iphv37> anyway, i've an idea that may result!
[11:01] <sacater> np m8
[11:01] <blackace11> Luc_Aylesbury are you still there!?!?
[11:01] <tarzeau> rohan: i was deported from #debian . besides i haven't used !popcon for half a year
[11:01] <Assassin`> omfg
[11:01] <rohan> tarzeau: ouch .. why were you deported ?
[11:01] <tarzeau> rohan: but can you do it for me please?
[11:01] <Pirate_Hunter> natbet: ;-) yeha thats why I used it but formated it first and diagnosed it, but utorrent really did a number on it, also I dont think it was meant to spin for days without stopping
[11:02] <Assassin`> you people make me angry every time i come in here
[11:02] <Assassin`> i dont even come often
[11:02] <DShepherd> paulk, i would go to the device.map and change hd1 to /dev/sda
[11:02] <snipex> but can it hold if ktorrent is running ?
[11:02] <blackace11> Luc_Aylesbury are you still there!?!?
[11:02] <tarzeau> rohan: ask stew. he kickbanned me for calling nobody moron. and nobody complained about it, he just remove me without warning
[11:02] <VivekShamraj> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[11:02] <ubuntuEdgy> im back people
[11:02] <blackace11> Luc_Aylesbury are you still there!?!?
[11:02] <DShepherd> paulk, and remove the /dev/hdd... seemingly.. you are not using that disk..your stop at hdc. what is on /dev/hdc?
[11:02] <Pirate_Hunter> Assassin: were not shrinks there are places weer you cna release stress from daily lives
[11:02] <blackace11> Luc_Aylesbury are you still there!?!?
[11:02] <Hultiz> welcome back ubuntuEdgy =)
[11:02] <Luc_Aylesbury> blackace11, yes
[11:02] <rohan> tarzeau: haha i always knew stew was unbalanced
[11:02] <Ki1> Another silly question- is it OK, that Ubuntu don't understand some of .deb packages? (Well, I'm kinda noob Linux)
[11:02] <n1xze> I have a somewhat advanced xorg.conf question... anyone an expert in such things?
[11:02] <Assassin`> Pirate_Hunter: i know
[11:02] <blackace11> yeah how you priv. chat?
[11:03] <VivekShamraj>  I went through the document of Parted in official GNU parted site .....but i've a question can i simply partition the new hdd (the 2nd one) with parted by downloading parted in my old hdd !!! ???
[11:03] <Luc_Aylesbury> blackace11, you have msn?
[11:03] <Assassin`> i want to watch this movie
[11:03] <tarzeau> rohan: remember http://wiki.debian.org/TheFable ?
[11:03] <paulk> DShepherd, ill try that out... but should i have to hide the Linux partition in the XP entry?
[11:03] <Assassin`> now
[11:03] <blackace11> yeah
[11:03] <ubuntuEdgy> thanks hultiz its nice to be back
[11:03] <barry253> tarzeau: how do I run the .run file in ubuntu?
[11:03] <IdleOne> !attitude | Assassin`
[11:03] <tarzeau> barry253: chmod +x the.run. ./the.run
[11:03] <zabin> Luc_Aylesbury:  Do i do this if the file is in /home/me/movie.avi        ffmpeg -i in *.avi ; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -outmove "$i.mpg" ; done
[11:03] <blackace11> william.f.robb-1@hotmail.com
[11:03] <rohan> yes, tarzeau
[11:03] <Assassin`> i'm not trying to have one
[11:03] <ripster> hi there .. can anyone tell me where to get the newest version of xChat for ubuntu?
[11:03] <ubotu> Assassin`: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[11:03] <Assassin`> i just wanna watch the movie -_-
[11:03] <Hultiz> ubuntuEdgy, its nice for everyone who have questions that you are back =)
[11:04] <Assassin`> i was nice
[11:04] <VivekShamraj>  I went through the document of Parted in official GNU parted site .....but i've a question can i simply partition the new hdd (the 2nd one) with parted by downloading parted in my old hdd !!! ???
[11:04] <tarzeau> rohan: well i remember where #debian was fun, it was a good time
[11:04] <Assassin`> i could be rude -_-
[11:04] <paulk> DShepherd, hdc is just a data partition
[11:04] <tarzeau> rohan: do you remember greycat?
[11:04] <Pirate_Hunter> Assassin`: i think you need to start again cause I dont know what you want
[11:04] <sacater> !language | Assassin`
[11:04] <ubotu> Assassin`: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:04] <ubuntuEdgy> ahahah
[11:04] <ripster> hi there .. can anyone tell me where to get the newest version of xChat for ubuntu?
[11:04] <rohan> tarzeau: yes, i remember him only too well
[11:04] <DShepherd> paulk, ok.. i dont think you need to hide anything...
[11:04] <rohan> tarzeau: he was deported too /?
[11:04] <zabin> ripster: apt-get install xchat
[11:04] <paulk> DShepherd, however now that i think about it hdc does not auto mount when i boot up
[11:05] <tarzeau> rohan: well he was op
[11:05] <QwertMan> When you launch the Ubuntu installer off of the trial CD, does it automatically install on your C disk, or will I have the option to install it on my flash drive
[11:05] <tarzeau> rohan: but basically yes
[11:05] <VivekShamraj> pls i cant wait to get started need to have my partition inplace !!!!
[11:05] <VivekShamraj>  I went through the document of Parted in official GNU parted site .....but i've a question can i simply partition the new hdd (the 2nd one) with parted by downloading parted in my old hdd !!! ???
[11:05] <n1xze> I have 3 monitors, on 2 video cards. With just the two monitors on one card, it is fine. When I enable the third monitor on the second video card (and second X screen), the first xscreen (2 monitors on 1 card) maximizes windows across both physical screens.
[11:05] <barry253> tarzeau: thanks, trying it now
[11:05] <Pirate_Hunter> ripster: automatix should do it, just update your repositories
[11:05] <tarzeau> rohan: so some non-regular #debian came in (like in TheFable) and thought he's great
[11:05] <DShepherd> paulk, that might do it.. try that and see if that works.. if that doesnt work.. trying putting the map stuff for the windows xp entry before the chainloader line
[11:05] <IdleOne> !automatix
[11:05] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe

[11:05] <blackace11> william.f.robb-1@hotmail.com
[11:05] <natbet> Pirate_Hunter: I don't think bittorrent will hurt your drive, sometimes they just go out and it might have gone out anyways with or wihout utorrent
[11:05] <blackace11> william.f.robb-1@hotmail.com
[11:05] <natbet> Assassin`: what movie are you trying to watch?
[11:05] <tarzeau> rohan: that's when doctors try to fix bulb lamps
[11:05] <paulk> DShepherd, excellent
[11:05] <Ki1> /quitmessage Bye!
[11:05] <gnomefreak> tarzeau: and rohan please bring that topic to #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:06] <paulk> DShepherd, ill give that a go now and reboot
[11:06] <DShepherd> paulk, try that.. i hope that works... :D.
[11:06] <DShepherd> paulk, kool
[11:06] <rohan> tarzeau: haha .. one messed up channel i'd say
[11:06] <paulk> DShepherd, much appreciated mate
[11:06] <VivekShamraj>  I went through the document of Parted in official GNU parted site .....but i've a question can i simply partition the new hdd (the 2nd one) with parted by downloading parted in my old hdd !!! ???
[11:06] <angel_> how do i access ftp account on ubuntu?
[11:06] <tarzeau> rohan: no #debian was very nice. that's why i was there
[11:06] <dan> anyone know of any benchmarking tools for disk read/write speeds, particularly usb flash drives??
[11:06] <DShepherd> paulk, no prob.. just learnt this last night.. so i dont mind sharing the knowledge
[11:06] <QwertMan> angel_: download filezilla
[11:07] <natbet> angel_: from command prompt ftp <address> otherwise use gftp or filezilla
[11:07] <paulk> DShepherd, ill pop back on in a few and let you know how i got on, cheers again
[11:07] <QwertMan> Find it athttp://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffilezilla.sourceforge.net%2F&ei=7n-BRorSEIaIep6ThbYK&usg=AFQjCNEPSvtMEiMX4fJ2KyTCviaeLotxOA&sig2=NO5JLcte_C-rYWyixfG1eQ

[11:07] <QwertMan> whoa, wrong address, sorry, but that will still work
[11:07] <rohan> tarzeau: haha ok
[11:07] <VivekShamraj>  I went through the document of Parted in official GNU parted site .....but i've a question can i simply partition the new hdd (the 2nd one) with parted by downloading parted in my old hdd !!! ???
[11:08] <angel_> thx
[11:08] <QwertMan> When you launch the Ubuntu installer off of the trial CD, does it automatically install on your C disk, or will I have the option to install it on my flash drive
[11:08] <Pirate_Hunter> natbet: you might be right but my main is precious it wont get damaged straight away but heck it has windows booted on it and ubuntu is behaving I havent damaged it (also im getting the hang of it... :-) just installed offfice 20003 yeah) so like i prefer waiting to buy a new HD as I believe thats the best choice as my second is used only for windows
[11:08] <Io2> Hello i have mounted and installed FIFA MANAGER 07 and when i start the game my screen gets black and im not enable to do anything please help me.
[11:08] <RoC_MasterMind> VivekShamraj, try the GParted Live CD....or Gnome Partition Editor on the Ubuntu LiveCD...they are the same...they allow you to work with partitions.
[11:09] <Pirate_Hunter> Io2: how did you mount it?
[11:09] <Pirate_Hunter> Io2: oops how did you install it?
[11:09] <mstf> hello
[11:09] <mstf> bye rookie
[11:09] <natbet> Pirate_Hunter: yeah, I'd probably wait until I got a second HD too. I'm just kind of suprised that a torrent program would kill a HD (never heard of it before, just harware failure is all I"ve ever heard)
[11:09] <tarzeau> rohan: i have learnt a lot from greycat
[11:09] <VivekShamraj> MasterMind: but can i directly have the parted in hda1 to partition the new HDD i'll attach
[11:10] <rohan> tarzeau: like ?
[11:10] <Io1> with the command in terminal
[11:10] <Io1> and then i used cedega
[11:10] <VivekShamraj> : MasterMind: but can i directly have the parted in hda1 to partition the new HDD i'll attach
[11:10] <barry253> tarzeau: back, same result. direct rendering: No  OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[11:10] <tarzeau> rohan: nethack, and non-technical things
[11:11] <pi3> how can I solve "You must have the GLib 2.0 development headers installed to build."?
[11:11] <tarzeau> barry253: you're using the fglrx driver. and the driver you installed supports your particular model of video card?
[11:11] <Io1> Hello i have mounted and installed FIFA MANAGER 07 and when i start the game my screen gets black and im not enable to do anything please help me
[11:11] <tarzeau> barry253: then it should just work. if not, no go. i386 i guess?
[11:11] <VivekShamraj> RoC_MasterMind : but can i directly have the parted in hda1 to partition the new HDD i'll attach
[11:11] <Pirate_Hunter> natbet: it is acually well explained online, its not the actual program but the way it uses the disk especially with the caching option also some apps froce the disk to spin faster than it should which is like over clocking
[11:11] <barry253> tarzeau: yes. using fglrx, and it supports my card, Radeon 8500pro
[11:11] <Io1> Hello i have mounted and installed FIFA MANAGER 07 and when i start the game my screen gets black and im not enable to do anything please help me.
[11:11] <RoC_MasterMind> VivekShamraj, I don't know what's wrong with using a bootable CD?
[11:12] <Pirate_Hunter> Io1: Ive got cedega havent made use of it yet but you should change to their IRC channel cause here is only for ubuntu that why I asked how you installed it
[11:12] <VivekShamraj> RoC_MasterMind : Lazy to write one !!
[11:12] <rohan> natbet: ok, trying frostwire now
[11:12] <natbet> Pirate_Hunter: ok, that makes sense, I guess I always use the rule of thumb not to over clock ever :D
[11:12] <Japilo> Hi, how can i change the default boot partition?  i have two ubuntu installations with their own GRUB on the same hd
[11:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Is it possible to run a hard drive installation of Ubuntu in Persistent mode and have personal programs and settings on a usb or external drive
[11:12] <RoC_MasterMind> yes I think you can do what your saying VivekShamraj
[11:12] <natbet> rohan: good deal!
[11:13] <RoC_MasterMind> Jack_Sparrow, personal settings are saved in your homedirectory...programs are saved  in /usr/bin
[11:13] <VivekShamraj> RoC_MasterMind : ok gr8.....i need to have Ubuntu latest server edition installed so any suggestions on partion size.....
[11:13] <RoC_MasterMind> Jack_Sparrow, maybe just install it to the external drive?
[11:13] <zabin> does anyone know of any good dvd encodes?
[11:13] <barry253> tarzeau: yes, i386
[11:13] <tarzeau> barry253: sorry i can't help you. it works for me
[11:13] <barry253> any other troubleshooting i can do?
[11:13] <zabin> any good dvd enoding software?
[11:13] <VivekShamraj> RoC_MasterMind : Cause i 've read its doc but iam kind of nowhere deciding the sizes !!
[11:13] <Pirate_Hunter> natbet: yeah my last time using utorrent on that disk I was getting speeds of 500-560 kbps which I know that disk was not meant to write that fast
[11:13] <gruman> zabin: you've already asked, and we've already answered...
[11:13] <tarzeau> barry253: give me a shell if you dare?
[11:14] <RoC_MasterMind> VivekShamraj, I found that the base system was 450MB...allow enough space for whatever you'll be storing or installing there..
[11:14] <Jack_Sparrow> RoC_MasterMind: Right but in the case of a persistent folder setup a where LiveCD can save your changes and settings
[11:14] <barry253> don't know how - stuck behind company firewall
[11:14] <rohan> natbet, gnomefreak : ok i am using eclipse and i am still able to type all this. so the bug is fixed
[11:14] <rohan> gnomefreak: THANKS A LOT, YOU ROCK
[11:14] <tarzeau> barry253: any ports redirected?
[11:14] <barry253> nope
[11:14] <barry253> but if you give me commands, i'll run them
[11:14] <RoC_MasterMind> Jack_Sparrow, KNOPPIX does that sort of thing, that's really a difficult thing...
[11:14] <zabin> anyone know of any good dvd enoding software?
[11:15] <tarzeau> barry253: can you get an ip for your machine directly in the internet?
[11:15] <Jack_Sparrow> I have it running live with persistent and Ubuntu now.. was easy and quick
[11:15] <natbet> Pirate_Hunter: wow, I have never seen speeds that high
[11:15] <iTurtle> I know I need to use unrar to extract a .rar file, but what commands to i add? unrar -e ./file.rar or what?
[11:15] <gnomefreak> rohan: any time. update 1 will be in archive in a few weeks
[11:15] <VivekShamraj> RoC_MasterMind : when u say base system , it mena ?
[11:15] <tarzeau> zabin: mplayers' mencoder ?
[11:15] <crimsun> iTurtle: sure, that would work.
[11:15] <VivekShamraj> means ?
[11:15] <natbet> Pirate_Hunter: the highest I think I'e seen is like 400
[11:15] <crimsun> iTurtle: keep in mind you may need the non-free unrar package.
[11:15] <barry253> no, just local ip
[11:15] <Jack_Sparrow> brb
[11:15] <tarzeau> barry253: can you talk to the firewall guy to give you a redirect?
[11:15] <iTurtle> crimsun: i have unrar-free
[11:15] <miramana> iTurtle, unrar x file
[11:15] <RoC_MasterMind> !burning > zabin
[11:16] <iTurtle> miramana: ok. thank you.
[11:16] <crimsun> iTurtle: right.  Depending what you're attempting to extract, you may need 'unrar' from multiverse instead.
[11:16] <barry253> it's possible, but why? what troubleshooting would you try?
[11:16] <iTurtle> crimsun: ok.
[11:16] <VivekShamraj> RoC_MasterMind : what does base system point to ?
[11:16] <tarzeau> barry253: i'd fix your problem, and you can watch with screen
[11:16] <RoC_MasterMind> VivekShamraj, base system means how much disk space it is using after you install it.
[11:16] <VivekShamraj> RoC_MasterMind : opk gr8
[11:16] <barry253> can't you just walk me through it?
[11:16] <Pirate_Hunter> natbet: it was one of those one offs happens like once in a very long while but once you see it go that high you just dont want to go back from 100-200kbps also my ISP is g4y (i think i cna say that in this channel)
[11:16] <tarzeau> barry253: no it doesn't seem so
[11:17] <RoC_MasterMind> I found it was using 400-450MB of HD space and would run comfortably on 96MB of ram although more can't hurt.
[11:17] <VivekShamraj> RoC_MasterMind : hmmm hope to get the going with u ppl soon ...
[11:17] <rohan> gnomefreak: ok. now can you tell me whether it was a sun fault or a ubuntu one ? :)
[11:17] <sacater> hey all, what command can I run on my laptop, to see what graphics card it is
[11:17] <taa> is there any specific mrtg chanel ? or some one usin mrtg here please ?
[11:17] <tarzeau> sacater: lspci | grep VGA
[11:17] <tarzeau> taa: yes
[11:17] <RoC_MasterMind> no
[11:17] <natbet> Pirate_Hunter: yeah, I don't think I would have stopped it either, just would have sat like a fish out of water
[11:17] <RoC_MasterMind> VivekShamraj, I think I run mine on 64MB of ram...real low like that.
[11:17] <taa> i'm geting some troubles to run it, specially when i run indexmaker
[11:17] <gnomefreak> rohan: suns i think i will look into it further
[11:17] <rohan> gnomefreak: and update 1 in feisty-backports soon ? _wonderful_
[11:18] <taa> i've something like Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/bin/indexmaker line 352.
[11:18] <snipex> what happens if i have KTorrent running and i lock screen ? does it still download ???
[11:18] <VivekShamraj> i've 512 MB of RAM and 80 GB hda and 80GB hdb
[11:18] <VivekShamraj> RoC_MasterMind will that do ?
[11:18] <taa> tarzeau Use of uninitialized value in hash element at /usr/bin/indexmaker line 352. when i run indexmaker :(
[11:18] <snipex> what happens if i have KTorrent running and i lock screen ? does it still download ???
[11:18] <RoC_MasterMind> VivekShamraj, that would be great...if you aren't experienced with the command-line though, you should use the Ubuntu Desktop CD>
[11:18] <sparrw> snipex: yes
[11:19] <RoC_MasterMind> snipex, yes.
[11:19] <Pirate_Hunter> natbet: thats what I thought as well, I knew that it wasnt good for the HD but just left it running now its gone :-(
[11:19] <gnomefreak> rohan: no update 1 is a bit off from gutsy as we are about to enter a freeze but i will talk to the backporters
[11:19] <snipex> it downloads ?
[11:19] <Ecnerifed_> anyone know of a nice app that monitors and logs bandwidth usage, if possible, web based interface :)
[11:19] <tarzeau> taa: sounds like perl
[11:19] <aggiz> What you need to type to in terminal to untar a file?
[11:19] <RoC_MasterMind> snipex, everything continues to run.
[11:19] <tarzeau> taa: i've never used indexmaker. and i don't like perl
[11:19] <VivekShamraj> RoC_MasterMind : i want to do things in Commnad line , currently i do basic things inb command line
[11:19] <tarzeau> aggiz: tar xf the.tar
[11:19] <snipex> but does it download my torrents ?
[11:19] <taa> tarzeau :) how can you generate hml files then ?
[11:19] <aggiz> ty tarzeau
[11:19] <RoC_MasterMind> VivekShamraj, your system is fine...
[11:19] <VivekShamraj> RoC_MasterMind: ok
[11:19] <^^^GOTIC^^^> exoooooooo
[11:19] <rohan> gnomefreak: ok .. no problem .. atleast you got my java working .. :-)
[11:19] <natbet> Pirate_Hunter: don't be sad, you get a newer bigger better HD out of it :D
[11:19] <Jack_Sparrow> RoC_MasterMind: I just wanted to check that simply adding persistent to the grub command line would not go to the usb special folder and no that does not do it.
[11:20] <tarzeau> taa: i just use mrtg? what's indexmaker good for?
[11:20] <awilcox> does Ubuntu support firewire DVD burners?
[11:20] <awilcox> please?
[11:20] <tarzeau> taa: i use www.linuks.mine.nu/mrtg/
[11:20] <vanderburg> Maybe someone can help me. I have a remote CVS server I'm trying to use, I can login to the box w/SSH, send/receive files with SCP, no problems. When I try to commit changes to CVS, the server doesn't respond. I know it's a config issue on my end, but I've tried port forwarding w/the router & have no luck. Any help appreciated.
[11:20] <RoC_MasterMind> awilcox, maybe...try it!
[11:20] <VivekShamraj> RoC_MasterMind : thnks for ur time
[11:20] <awilcox> RoC_MasterMind: I'm in the purchasing decision stage
[11:20] <awilcox> RoC_MasterMind: so I need to know if it works BEFORE I drop $65 on a drive
[11:21] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware
[11:21] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[11:21] <Pirate_Hunter> natbet: true but the question is when and the way Ive been lazily workign it seems I aint getting paid soon and thats just not funny >:-(
[11:21] <awilcox> ooh thanks Jack_Sparrow and ubotu :)
[11:21] <awilcox> !botsnack
[11:21] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[11:21] <awilcox> lol
[11:21] <RoC_MasterMind> awilcox, google!
[11:21] <Ecnerifed_> Can someone please help me. Does anyone know of a nice app that monitors and logs bandwidth usage, if possible, web based interface :)
[11:21] <tarzeau> taa: http://www.linuks.mine.nu/mrtg/mrtg.txt
[11:22] <tarzeau> Ecnerifed_: iptraf. no web
[11:22] <natbet> Pirate_Hunter: that's true, that stupid money thing and needing it
[11:22] <tarzeau> Ecnerifed_: there's ntop, but it's buggy (memory leaks, and crashes after some time)
[11:22] <awilcox> RoC_MasterMind: all I get is a $366 Linux-compatible Spanish DVD burner, and a 2.4.27 changelog
[11:22] <awilcox> anyways, the bot helped
[11:22] <awilcox> so thanks, bye
[11:22] <aggiz> When i have untared a tar.gz what do I write to install? its 3 different files inside
[11:23] <Pirate_Hunter> Ecnerifed_: sorry cnat help I would say use system monitor in tray it gives you live cpu usage and shows when you spkie cpu up etc
[11:23] <rohan> gnomefreak: how about having a general notification on the wiki or so ? this problem is pretty severe ..
[11:23] <ericrw> aggiz, a .tar.gz file is just an archive -- if it contains source code, you normally run 'make' or './configure; make'
[11:23] <noway-> hello, I am still on 6.0.6... how do I upgrade to 7?  I have tried apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:24] <taa> tarzeau ty
[11:24] <ripster> how can i have a look to my partition with fdisk?? fdisk /dev/scd  doesnt work
[11:24] <RoC_MasterMind> !upgrade > noway-
[11:24] <ericrw> aggiz, you need to have the necessary libraries to compile source code though, you might need the build-essential package, and probably some others
[11:24] <noway-> thank you
[11:24] <gnomefreak> rohan: i need the exact problem please pm me with exact problem java was giving you and if java5 did same.
[11:24] <Pirate_Hunter> natbet: yeha the world revolves around money and I sometimes wish it was like the fairy tales that way we could all plamt money tress, hehehe, lol oh well its nice to imagine
[11:25] <natbet> Pirate_Hunter: yeah, sometimes I'd like to know who decided that this shiny rock is worth your cow
[11:25] <aggiz> Thats something I don't know how to do Ericrw :)) I'm new to ubuntu :)
[11:25] <BlackDesign> Hi
[11:25] <BlackDesign> could someone help me to make those lm-sensors and gkrellm work,
[11:25] <BlackDesign> ?
[11:26] <tarzeau> BlackDesign: just use mbmon to read the temperature?
[11:26] <tarzeau> BlackDesign: there's a few other temperature sensors in computers: https://inventory.phys.ethz.ch/stats/
[11:26] <BlackDesign> mbmon
[11:26] <Pirate_Hunter> natbet: lol so true, i cna just imagine how it went the first time they saw it - "aite mate look its shinny, it must be precious, I'll trade it for your cow" lol
[11:26] <tarzeau> BlackDesign: stuff that's better in userspace
[11:27] <pinkster> hi, im using amarok in gnome and trying to use a script that reads lyrics from id3 tags but it gives an error saying: Python output: No module named kdecore. any help? new with ubuntu
[11:27] <BlackDesign> mbmom isn't in synaptic?
[11:27] <PurpZeY> pinkster: I might be wrong, but it sounds like the script is intended to run in kde.
[11:28] <Pirate_Hunter> I need an app to replace frostwire which is stable and that I dont already have
[11:28] <ericrw> aggiz, most likely, you want to just install packages through Applications -> "Add/Remove"
[11:28] <tarzeau> BlackDesign: got universe?
[11:28] <BlackDesign> tarzeau, errr no?
[11:28] <ericrw> aggiz, as a new user, you probably should avoid compiling programs or trying to download them from their official webpages...
[11:28] <tarzeau> BlackDesign: it's in universe
[11:28] <Centinex> Is there any way I can run the Ubuntu 7.04 installation in some kind of debugging mode? I can't get 7.04 or 6.06 to install. They both stop after configuring network interfaces during the installation bootup.
[11:28] <tarzeau> BlackDesign: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/admin/mbmon
[11:28] <aggiz> If it contains a source code how do i run make or ./configure make? and in what program do i Make Essential package?
[11:28] <ericrw> aggiz, in Ubuntu (and Linux in general), users don't download programs from websites like Windows users do -- we keep it all centrally located.
[11:29] <pinkster> indeed, but as whole amarok is intended to run in kde and it works maybe the script could work doing something
[11:29] <PurpZeY> Centinex: Have you tried the alternate install CD?
[11:29] <tarzeau> ericrw: sometimes they have to
[11:29] <PurpZeY> pinkster: It is possible, I do not know.
[11:29] <Pirate_Hunter> aggiz sadly thats all doen in terminal
[11:29] <ericrw> aggiz, imagine that *every* program you needed in Windows was available in Windows Update
[11:29] <tarzeau> ericrw: when the distribution doesn't have packages. or they are utterly broken
[11:29] <XtypeWriter> hi, can i use a Elsa 56k Modem to get in to the net with Ubuntu Edgy ?
[11:29] <Centinex> No, I couldn't find any support topics relating to the subject.
[11:29] <ericrw> tarzeau, yes, sometimes, but rarely
[11:29] <Centinex> Where can I obtain the alternate install cd?
[11:29] <BlackDesign> Tarzeau Does that also work on Feist
[11:29] <BlackDesign> Feisty
[11:30] <preaction> Centinex: stop as in kernel panic, or stop as in waits for a while?
[11:30] <tarzeau> BlackDesign: feisty has their own version, replace gutsy in the url with feisty
[11:30] <Centinex> It completely stops responding
[11:30] <preaction> Centinex: for how long?
[11:30] <tarzeau> ericrw: i regularly have to
[11:30] <ericrw> aggiz, anyway, you can 'add and remove programs' to install developer packages that are necessary to install programs from source (if as tarzeau said, they're not available in ubuntu officially)
[11:30] <Centinex> I've waited for an hour before with no response.
[11:30] <aggiz> But I want to learn some :P I know how to use the add/remove and done it severals times now and want to try some new stuff as Terminal :P
[11:30] <preaction> Centinex: did you try pressing ctrl+c after it started hanging?
[11:30] <BlackDesign> Tarzeau and can't I install that through synaptic?
[11:30] <Centinex> It goes past the network interfaces line, says [OK] , then nothing happens.
[11:30] <tarzeau> ericrw: of course the best is to make your own debian packages, and then get them into the distribution
[11:31] <Centinex> No, but that will be my next step.
[11:31] <tarzeau> BlackDesign: yes you can, but you need universe in your sources.list
[11:31] <Pirate_Hunter> aggiz: thats the spirit just be prepared to destroy soemthing in doing so
[11:31] <ericrw> aggiz, in that case, 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'  then cd into your source code directory, run ./configure; make
[11:31] <XtypeWriter> !printer
[11:31] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[11:31] <Centinex> What will Ctrl+C bring me to?
[11:31] <BlackDesign> mmm, and do you know the line to add it? :$
[11:31] <preaction> Centinex: nothing. it might interrupt the script that's hanging
[11:31] <XtypeWriter> !modem
[11:31] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[11:31] <ericrw> aggiz, (*most* have configure/make, but some packages are different.. python programs are usually  'python setup.py install', perl programs are 'perl Makefile.pl; make'
[11:31] <tarzeau> BlackDesign: yes
[11:32] <tarzeau> BlackDesign: can you open /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[11:32] <Centinex> Okay, I'll try it out. Thanks.
[11:32] <ericrw> aggiz, if in doubt, read the file "INSTALL"
[11:32] <BlackDesign> yes... (but I can add them in Synaptic too no?)
[11:32] <BlackDesign> with; "Add sources or something
[11:32] <tarzeau> BlackDesign: i don't use synaptic, no idea
[11:33] <aggiz> there was no "install" in my map :) just 3 sucky source codes :((
[11:33] <BlackDesign> yeah, just need the APT line
[11:33] <aggiz> Is there a guide or something =)?
[11:33] <sldkfj> BlackDesign, 'third party' tab?
[11:33] <sldkfj> BlackDesign, what do you want to add?
[11:34] <BlackDesign> universe APT line
[11:34] <BlackDesign> so I can download packages from universe
[11:34] <sldkfj> BlackDesign, in the first tab just check all the available boxes there
[11:34] <sldkfj> that will add universe
[11:35] <ericrw> aggiz, well, the thing is, when you're compiling and installing source code, each package is different, but most include a file called "INSTALL"
[11:35] <sldkfj> and some of the others
[11:35] <natbet> BlackDesign: and uncheck the cdrom on bottom
[11:35] <XtypeWriter> does the  Canon PIXMA ip1500  printer work in Edgy?
[11:35] <lost^alien> anyone try to install siag, if so how did you resolve the xpm dep?
[11:35] <magnetron> !hardware
[11:35] <BlackDesign> mmm, those where all checked
[11:35] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[11:35] <aggiz> not this one :P
[11:35] <aggiz> trying to install the wallpaper plugin for beryl
[11:35] <sldkfj> BlackDesign, what program do you want?
[11:35] <aggiz> so i can get different backrounds
[11:36] <BlackDesign> ok now found it :)
[11:36] <ericrw> aggiz, you might be better off trying to start with something more "normal" like  Pidgen or the Gimp.
[11:36] <ericrw> (although the Gimp takes a very long time.... )
[11:36] <osiris_> Hi all, does anyone know how to make firefox fonts a little smoother?
[11:36] <Pirate_Hunter> BlackDesign: i think you need to redo your source list manually like I did casue archive.ubuntu.com stopped working for strange reasons
[11:36] <BlackDesign> err... and how do I run that mbmon program?
[11:37] <BlackDesign> it's not in the menu
[11:37] <rohan> osiris_: enable autohinting and anti aliasing in kde control center or gnome fonts
[11:37] <aggiz> whats pidgen :P?
[11:37] <fuzzy_logic> osiris_: what do you mean?
[11:37] <ericrw> aggiz, generally, its best to first try compiling some popular programs first, they're most likely to have a large number of experienced programmers that "did it right".  Smaller programs might not have as many (if any) experienced programmers.
[11:37] <osiris_> fuzzy_logic: Fonts look really rugged
[11:37] <ericrw> aggiz, Pidgen is what used to be called Gaim. It is a popular instant messenger
[11:37] <sldkfj> BlackDesign, what kind of monitoring do you wnat?
[11:37] <fuzzy_logic> aggiz: pidgin is the new name of the instant messenger gaim
[11:37] <rohan> natbet: can you please add a "aye" to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/122442 ?
[11:38] <BlackDesign> Temps of CPU and fan speeds
[11:38] <fuzzy_logic> osiris_: can you show me a screenshot?
[11:38] <XtypeWriter> Is it possible to get DIALER (virus or ??) using Ubuntu with Modem ?
[11:38] <aggiz> okey
[11:38] <BlackDesign> now I did sudo mbmon
[11:38] <XtypeWriter> a
[11:38] <aggiz> i got gaim :P
[11:38] <osiris_> fuzzy_logic: sure give me a minute
[11:38] <BlackDesign> and it keeps giving some numbers... just keeps going
[11:38] <natbet> rohan: sure
[11:38] <sldkfj> BlackDesign, temp or speed stuff....... try gdesklets
[11:38] <BlackDesign> but that works with lm-sensors?
[11:39] <BlackDesign> because, that doesn't seem to work... lm-sensors
[11:39] <Cristatus> anyone familiar with ndiswrapper?
[11:40] <osiris_> fuzzy_logic: Its too big for photobucket
[11:40] <sldkfj> BlackDesign, what version?  7.04?
[11:40] <BlackDesign> yes
[11:40] <osiris_> fuzzy_logic: you wont see what i mean
[11:40] <fuzzy_logic> osiris_: can you explain in words how it exacly looks like?
[11:40] <mc44> Cristatus: whats the problem?
[11:40] <sldkfj> BlackDesign, I see it in mine,   do an update........    sudo apt-get update
[11:40] <sldkfj> in a terminal
[11:41] <BlackDesign> what do you mean see? What do you see? Because I can see the programs too
[11:41] <sldkfj> BlackDesign, mbmon
[11:41] <BlackDesign> yeah, already downloaded it
[11:41] <BlackDesign> then ran it in terminal with
[11:42] <BlackDesign> sudo mbmon
[11:42] <CaptainMorgan> RoC_MasterMind, nah.. and I notice coNP isn't here.. but the GNOME session option didn't work (for DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace, remember?)
[11:42] <BlackDesign> but it keeps on giving lines of numbers
[11:42] <BlackDesign> it never stops?
[11:42] <osiris_> fuzzy_logic: all i can say is the fonts look really sharp and rugged (jagged) and not smooth
[11:43] <sldkfj> BlackDesign, read a manual page:  try  man mbmon  in a terminal
[11:43] <oracle1> hi! I have ubuntu 7.04 and a dell precision m70. It happened now about 3 times that the laptop simply shut off due to overheat. This never happened under debian, what could be the problem?
[11:43] <oracle1> my cpu tempereature is at 60 degrees C without any load
[11:43] <fuzzy_logic> osiris_: and is the rest smooth? you had that from the beginning?
[11:44] <kitche> oracle1: what do you have open when it overheats
[11:44] <sacater> tarzeau: hi, sorry about the delay in getting back, lspci turned out ATI, its an old laptop so is it worth bothering with the ATI drivers, fglrx or whatever they are called
[11:44] <osiris_> fuzzy_logic: actually now i look there all the same heh
[11:44] <tarzeau> sacater: just check if the driver supports it
[11:44] <oracle1> kitche: firefox, mozilla and a few gnome terminals
[11:44] <sacater> tarzeau: where would that be listed
[11:44] <kitche> oracle1: firefox could be causing it
[11:44] <oracle1> kitche: I used the laptop under debian for 1 year and never had temperature problems .. and only have ubuntu for a few days
[11:44] <tarzeau> sacater: in the so called documentation
[11:45] <fuzzy_logic> osiris_: so the fonts of your irc client right now are also like that?
[11:45] <mc44> sacater: what card?
[11:45] <intelikey> hello,  on 64bit dapper what is needed to play dvd's ?   the box is not networked yet so i'll have to get from a 32bit install...
[11:45] <someone2005> anybody remember the name of the package for MSJVC ?
[11:45] <PurpZeY> !dvd | intelikey
[11:45] <kitche> oracle1: debian is more lightweight then ubuntu really at least what runs in the background
[11:45] <ubotu> intelikey: 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
[11:45] <Jordan_U> osiris_, Try changing the preferences in System -> Preferences -> Font specifically "details"
[11:45] <macawm> Any ideas on fixing this error "(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable" when starting X?
[11:45] <aggiz> Why does not Adobe flash player works on x86_64? what can you use you use to look on Youtube with then?
[11:45] <tarzeau> aggiz: download it and play with mplayer
[11:45] <BlackDesign> The thing is, lm-sensors doesn't work
[11:45] <BlackDesign> so I can't see any temps
[11:45] <tarzeau> aggiz: because the company adobe is really really bad
[11:45] <kitche> aggiz: umm Adobe didn't make a flash x86_64
[11:46] <BlackDesign> the only place where I can see the temps is in my BIOS... Which is not so nice :)
[11:46] <kitche> aggiz: but you could use nspluginwrapper
[11:46] <osiris_> tried that Jordan_U
[11:46] <kitche> !flash9 | aggiz
[11:46] <ubotu> aggiz: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[11:46] <Jordan_U> aggiz, You can use gnash or you can use flash with nsplugginwrapper
[11:46] <kitche> gnash doesn't play YouTube they found out
[11:46] <Jordan_U> aggiz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[11:46] <Jordan_U> kitche, The newest version is supposed to
[11:47] <kitche> Jordan_U: yeah they found out it's just a rumor at least the artciel I read about it
[11:47] <sacater> mc44: "ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x (rev 64)
[11:47] <intelikey> PurpZeY that does not tell me what i need.  it only tells me where to get it.     ?
[11:48] <ericrw> aggiz, personally, I recommend just running a 32-bit install of Linux on your 64-bit hardware... but if you're gonna run 64-bit, setup a 32- bit chroot and install firefox and flash in there
[11:48] <PurpZeY> intelikey: I'm not sure I understand the distinction.
[11:48] <mc44> sacater: I don't think fglrx supports thhose
[11:48] <aggiz> Yes this time it worked! first time somethings works for me in the TERMINAL :D:D:D
[11:48] <intelikey> PurpZeY are you saying that i have to have every package in the seveas repo just to play a dvd ?
[11:49] <Jordan_U> kitche, I would be surprised to find a note from the official website to be just a rummer http://www.gnashdev.org/
[11:49] <secu> this is the first time i run xchat
[11:49] <Jordan_U> intelikey, No, you can just grab libdvdcss2
[11:49] <PurpZeY> intelikey: You need the DVDlibs.
[11:49] <greyfrog>  /wi secu
[11:49] <sacater> mc44: okay, thanks for the help
[11:49] <secu> is there not an other irc client, something like mIRC for windows?
[11:49] <mc44> sacater: the default ati driver should work fine
[11:50] <intelikey> PurpZeY ok is libdvdcss2 all i will need or does it have deps that i need too ?
[11:50] <PurpZeY> intelikey: That I do not know.
[11:50] <aggiz> Ericrw How do I setup a chroot with 32- bits?
[11:50] <PurpZeY> intelikey: Normally when you apt-get a package it installs the deps...So, I'm not sure.
[11:50] <Jordan_U> intelikey, AFIK that is all you need, you don't even need to add the repo, just grab the .deb
[11:50] <Jordan_U> !chroot | aggiz
[11:51] <ubotu> aggiz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[11:51] <aggiz> lolz :))
[11:51] <aggiz> ty jordan :D
[11:51] <ericrw> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575
[11:51] <jonrw> :-d
[11:51] <intelikey> Jordan_U i can't add the repo.  like i said the box with the 64bit system is not online (not networked)  that's why im in here asking about package lists
[11:51] <ericrw> aggiz, ^^^
[11:52] <ericrw> aggiz, I haven't used any of these instructions myself (I already knew what to do and haven't personally written instructions
[11:52] <ericrw> bbl - gotta work
[11:52] <Centinex> When I try to boot into the Ubuntu 7.04 installation, I get three firmware_helper errors, then the PC stops responding after "Configuring network interfaces....[OK] ".
[11:52] <aggiz> haha =)
[11:53] <rouslan> When I try to add a HD to RAID, I get "mdadm: failed to write superblock to /dev/hdc1"
[11:53] <intelikey> Jordan_U my aim was to dl the needed package and burn to a cd then install on the box in question      and not having cd-rw  i need the full list the first shot if possable.
[11:53] <w1z4rd> Hey, how do i upgrade from 6.06 ?
[11:53] <Centinex> I tried preaction's suggestion to Ctrl+C to stop the hanging script, but I had no luck.
[11:53] <rouslan> w1z4rd: You use software update and select the version update option.
[11:53] <Jordan_U> intelikey, Ok, there are other things that you need from the main repositories but just libdvdcss2 from seveas I would try installing it on a networked box and see what is required for it
[11:53] <rouslan> w1z4rd: It's not guaranteed to work-mine got corrupted.
[11:54] <w1z4rd> rouslan: Where is software update?
[11:54] <rouslan> w1z4rd: First you should upgrade to 6.10-edgy, then to 7.04-feisty
[11:54] <sldkfj> intelikey, libdvdcss2 is by itself, no deps
[11:54] <w1z4rd> rouslan: Okay, how do I do that?
[11:54] <intelikey> Jordan_U ok but will that be the same on this 32bit system as it is on the 64bit ?
[11:54] <rouslan> w1z4rd: I'm not using Ubuntu right now, but it should be under Administration
[11:54] <w1z4rd> Okay.
[11:55] <Jordan_U> intelikey, AFIK they will be the same package names, but not the same .debs
[11:55] <intelikey> sldkfj ok.  you do know this is dapper?
[11:55] <intelikey> Jordan_U k thanks.
[11:55] <Jordan_U> intelikey, np
[11:55] <rouslan> w1z4rd: Found it?
[11:56] <sldkfj> intelikey, I didn't have libdvdcss2 on my computer it installed by itself from seaves repo, no deps
[11:56] <w1z4rd> rouslan: No, I don't see it. :\
[11:56] <MrOtacon> hy guys - on the livecd - what is the sudo password?
[11:56] <Centinex> When I try to boot into the Ubuntu 7.04 installation, I get three firmware_helper errors, then the PC stops responding after "Configuring network interfaces....[OK] ".
[11:56] <rouslan> w1z4rd: It's not under System-Administration-Software update or something like that?
[11:57] <intelikey> sldkfj ok.  thanks.
[11:57] <Centinex> I tried preaction's suggestion to Ctrl+C to stop the hanging script, but I had no luck. Does anyone have any idea why the bootup is crashing?
[11:57] <w1z4rd> rouslan: No, it's not there. :(
[11:57] <Jordan_U> MrOtacon, It shouldn't ask for one
[11:57] <Ecnerifed_> lo all, i installed iptraf but it wont run and its not in the /usr/local/bin dir, any suggestions?
[11:57] <rouslan> w1z4rd: Sorry then, I'm not using Ubuntu now, but I've done it before and it's very simple-I recall pressing a button to upgrade.
[11:57] <imbecile> im trying to burn ubuntu studio with k3b and i keep getting error.. any idea why?
[11:57] <MrOtacon> Jordan_U: I think it might be because i just built the livecd from my installed system - as a distro for a few few friends... but it isn't my password that it has used
[11:58] <w1z4rd> rouslan: okay, well thanks for trying to help
[11:58] <sldkfj> intelikey, check this:     http://seveas.imbrandon.com/dists/dapper-seveas/all/
[11:58] <intelikey> i think that the webpage gets the 32bit listing from the system info and doesn't display the 64bit .debs ?
[11:58] <sldkfj> intelikey,  libdvdcss2 is listed there 'dapper'
[11:58] <Jordan_U> intelikey, Remember that you will also need to get a player that supports DVD menus, I recommend VLC ( totem-gstreamer will *not* work )
[11:59] <intelikey> sldkfj yes but that's for the system i'm running not the 64bit target dapper   no?
[11:59] <greyfrog> Ecnerifed_, did you install using apt?
[11:59] <sldkfj> it has 64 bit there
[11:59] <Ecnerifed_> no, i downloaded it, untared and the ./Setup
[11:59] <intelikey> Jordan_U k
[11:59] <sldkfj> Package:	libdvdcss2_1.2.9-0.0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
[12:00] <greyfrog> Ecnerifed_, not sure then... iptraf is in the repos though... you shouldn't have to d/l and setup yourself
[12:00] <Ecnerifed_> ok?
[12:00] <Jordan_U> intelikey, packages.ubuntu.com to find the .debs from main
[12:00] <benmayim> how do I copy files to or extract files to /var/www? When I try to drag and drop it says I don't have permission.
[12:00] <greyfrog> Ecnerifed_, you need to run it using sudo though as well...
[12:00] <Ecnerifed_> im su root
[12:00] <sldkfj> intelikey, that's the best we can do for you.
[12:00] <intelikey> Jordan_U yeah on it.
[12:00] <imbecile> anyone ever have problems burning dvd with k3b? i can burn cd image just not dvd.. anything special i need to install for dvd? help please
