[12:01] <mat1> jhakk- this ith the patch file name (2.4.29-iswraid.patch) it is the raid driver for ASUS P5W64
[12:01] <Jordan_U> PurpZeY, He is at a frozen screen and ( probably )  doesn't know about tty's so there isn't much else he would do
[12:01] <PurpZeY> Jordan_U: What command or tool would you use to rebout out of something like that? first ctrl+alt+ bkspc and then running shutdown ?
[12:01] <stu-mc> ok what am i doing wrong:  sudo chmod 775 <directory>    ?
[12:01] <alecwhh> PurpZeY, it looked like that worked. I'm booted up. How do I fix it now?
[12:02] <PurpZeY> alecwhh: Well, someone who knows more than me has to help you configure your newer kernel, OR just keep using this one.
[12:02] <Jordan_U> PurpZeY, Yes, I should have just suggested he switch to a tty, but I wanted to say something before he pulled the plug, oh well, to late anyways
[12:02] <jhakk> mat1: sounds like a kernel patch
[12:03] <alecwhh> Well, I don't want to have to boot up using Grub... I want it to automatically work. :P
[12:03] <truthfatal> is there an xchat-systray plugin/setting in the repositories or xchat-gnome settings that I can't find/
[12:03] <|Carrera> hey how do you add a channel to the auto join list?
[12:03] <jhakk> mat: kinda old, but http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Kernel-HOWTO-6.html
[12:03] <Jordan_U> |Carrera, What client?
[12:03] <PurpZeY> alecwhh: I know it can be done by editing menu.lst so it just autoatically loads the old kernel, but you should be able to fix the new one.
[12:04] <alecwhh> PurpZeY, Jordan_U, would it be better to uninstall the updates (and if so, how?)
[12:04] <jhakk> mat: but if it is a kernel patch, and you patch the kernel (source), you'll have to build a new kernel, which might be overly complicated
[12:04] <|Carrera> Xirc
[12:04] <jason__> looking for a mythtv guru.  got a system that im pretty sure should be able to playback hd content, but live tv runs bad, and when im usuing the geforce 6200 video card to help out, the sound has major issues.  and there are other playback issues.  basically the only thing that works is watching a recorded hdtv show without using the video card to accelorate playback.
[12:05] <jhakk> stefg: got the official kernel installed, works fine.. go figure.. heh
[12:05] <jhakk> errr driver
[12:05] <mat1> jhakk, I'm trying to install ubuntu in a Dual boot mode but I have Vista on a Raid 0 & I want to install ubuntu to a separate IDE drive, but don't want to mess up Vista
[12:05] <stefg> jason__: #mythtv-users
[12:05] <Jordan_U> alecwhh, You can't uninstall updates, and it probably isn't a good idea to stay not up to date ( it was probably a security update ), so hopefully there is a way to get things to work with the new kernel also
[12:05] <PurpZeY> alecwhh: I have no idea how you would delete a newly installed kernel.
[12:05] <stu-mc> ok what am i doing wrong please:  sudo chmod 775 ./<directory>    ?
[12:05] <alecwhh> What would be a solution, then?
[12:05] <jason__> stefg, thanks
[12:05] <alecwhh> I can boot up into a command prompt, too.
[12:05] <enviouz> is there a prog out there that will tell me the button assignment if i push it? like say i push the start button on my pad it will return "button 9" or what ever it is?
[12:06] <jhakk> mat1: sounds tricky.. i've never done that, sorry bud
[12:06] <Paradoxx> stu-mc: Take out the '.'
[12:06] <Jordan_U> PurpZeY, You can just remove it with apt, not that he necessarily should.
[12:06] <mat1> thanks anyway
[12:06] <jhakk> mat: i take it you're using some built-on raid controller? and ubuntu doesn't recognize the single drive, but actually sees two?
[12:06] <jrib> enviouz: xev
[12:06] <stu-mc> Paradoxx: still not changing the permissions
[12:06] <alecwhh> How would I diagnose this problem with my Kernal?
[12:06] <geck0> Does anyone know anything about pre-linking or readahead, to make applications such as firefox/open office/amarok run faster?
[12:07] <enviouz> ok ty jrib
[12:07] <Jordan_U> geck0, prelink is no longer needed in Feisty, preload might help though
[12:07] <geck0> Do you know how I can set that up?
[12:07] <stu-mc> Paradoxx: any other ideas?
[12:08] <Jordan_U> geck0, sudo apt-get install preload
[12:08] <geck0> Jordan, thanks, I'll give it a try
[12:08] <stefg> geck0: forget prelink on feisty (not needed). consider preload. no app will /run/ faster, they just /load/ faster (if noticeable at all)
[12:08] <Jordan_U> geck0, And for open office specifically I would turn off java unless you actually use the wizards
[12:09] <geck0> Yes, I found a tut on how to do that =) thanks
[12:09] <Rannick> Ok, so, why was it taking me to dr dos and not going into install?
[12:10] <stu-mc> Q: my chmod doesnt seem to be working, i have tried sudo chmod 775 ./<dir> and sudo chmod 775 /<dir> anyone got any other ideas about this problem ?
[12:10] <alecwhh> Jordan_U, do you have any ideas on my kernal problem
[12:11] <cje_> hi, I wanted to let this group know that I have 37 hours of video interviews to share.  These are interviews with FOSS leaders, as well as political leaders, business leaders, etc.  I am producing a community-built film in 10 languages about how cool FOSS is.

[12:12] <manko> hi all
[12:13] <truthfatal> If xchat-gnome and the default repos don't have a the systray plugin does anyone know if the "Real" xchat package does? (apt is busy at the moment, otherwise i'd just go look for myself ;)
[12:13] <kjw75> When I look at packages.ubuntu.com it shows a little red dot to indicate which packages are dependent on other packages. This little red dot seems to be in the middle of 2 packages. Does this red dot indicate the package above the dot OR the package below the dot as a dependency?
[12:14] <Rannick> Ok, so, when trying to install Ubuntu, from the live cd, it keps sending me to DR DOS, why?
[12:14] <FFForever> can i take a snapshot of my screen???
[12:14] <afief_> stefg, thanks that solves it for me:D
[12:14] <kjw75> Rannick do you use DR DOS?
[12:14] <stefg> i knew :-)
[12:14] <Rannick> nop
[12:14] <Rannick> *nope
[12:14] <enviouz> FFForever:  hit printscreen
[12:14] <kjw75> Rannick does anything say DR DOS?
[12:14] <|Carrera> kjw75: I would select one of them and write down the name of the other one, and then check for the packages again if non of them are present then it mean both were selected if one or the other are still present then it means its a monitor  misallignment
[12:15] <r00723r0> i'd like to run a command every time my dhcp daemon runs
[12:15] <r00723r0> is this possible?
[12:15] <FFForever> thanks :D
[12:15] <jhakk> question - is it possible to add the medibuntu repositories directly to the apt source list?
[12:15] <enviouz> np
[12:15] <stu-mc> Q: i wanted to chmod a dir that my user did not own and sudo did not work y?
[12:15] <afief_> stefg, but is there a way to use it without restarting?
[12:15] <Rannick> The CD will spin up when I boot from it, and it goes immediately to Caldera DR-DOS.
[12:15] <|Carrera> everything is possible r00723r0
[12:15] <stefg> afief_: sudo swapon -a (after you edited fstab)
[12:15] <r00723r0> |Carrera: i'm sorry, i meant can someone help me with it
[12:16] <manko> Hope some of you can help me. I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 desktop on a Satellite P100 series. It's all ok, except the widescreen... any ideas on how can I get it to work?
[12:16] <|Carrera> jhakk: you can add any source to the source list as long as you have the correct address
[12:16] <rubsty> Can anyone help me install limewire on ubuntu I googled and followed a few instructions but when i try to install from the deb package i gets errors cause it doesn't match my arch which is x86_64 when i use alien to convert the rpm into a deb pkg I get errors and it fails
[12:16] <alecwhh> anybody here?
[12:16] <Jordan_U> alecwhh, no
[12:16] <TaylorT1293> alecwhh: about 1111 people
[12:16] <gumpish> So I just upgraded from edgy to fiesty and my screen IS running at 1600 x 1200 (I thought it was being scaled up at first) but everything looks a bit blurry (as if it were being scaled)
[12:16] <TaylorT1293> oh wait
[12:16] <afief_> stefg, thanks a million:D I had to restart ubuntu twice today because the memory grew full and it crawled to a halt

[12:17] <anoobis> can someone help decode this error when trying to install 7.04? [39.498635] ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC [39.677537]  kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with apic=debug and send a report. then try booting with the 'noapic' option
[12:17] <stu-mc> Q: please, i wanted to chmod a dir that my user did not own and sudo did not work is there a reason for this please?
[12:17] <jhakk> |Carrera: obviously :) I was just wondering why there were these convoluted instructions under "Adding Repositories" here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[12:18] <jhakk> |Carrera: rather than just adding one or two source lines to the /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:18] <jrib> stu-mc: what exactly did you do?
[12:18] <OmegaCenti> stu-mc: sudo always works... however, you have to be part of a "sudoable" group
[12:18] <jhakk> seems unnecessarily complicated
[12:18] <Jordan_U> anoobis, Like it says, you should be able too boot if you add the noapic kernel parameter
[12:18] <OmegaCenti> jrib: Am I correct?
[12:18] <Rannick> The CD will spin up when I boot from it, and it goes immediately to Caldera DR-DOS.
[12:18] <Jordan_U> anoobis, what comp is this?
[12:18] <|Carrera> hey question, when you get a red message in the main channel window does that mean someone just /msg you or what?
[12:18] <anoobis> <-- newb
[12:18] <stu-mc> jrib: i used #sudo chmod 775 ./<dir>
[12:18] <|Carrera> anoobis<------newb
[12:18] <OmegaCenti> stu-mc: what error did it give?
[12:19] <Jordan_U> anoobis, what comp is this?
[12:19] <anoobis> erm amd 64 x2 4200+ on gigabyte AM2 mobo
[12:19] <jrib> stu-mc: what directory
[12:19] <vaurdan> Hey
[12:19] <jrib> OmegaCenti: basically, yes
[12:19] <vaurdan> I'm with a problem
[12:19] <stu-mc> jrib: oh and then i tried #sudo chmod 775 /<dir>  ( no '.'
[12:19] <vaurdan> My Wireless network is not detected
[12:19] <Jordan_U> anoobis, You are booting from the LiveCD correct?
[12:19] <anoobis> yeah
[12:19] <bruenig> vaurdan, do iwlist $interface scan
[12:19] <kjw75> Rannick when you put the CD in your drive now what do you see?
[12:19] <imbecile> anyone know thename for  gtk theme  for ubuntustudio?
[12:19] <stu-mc> jrib: its a dir in my /var/www/ directory
[12:20] <Jordan_U> anoobis, See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[12:20] <OmegaCenti> bruenig: $interface? what is that?
[12:20] <kjw75> kjw75 is it just an ISO file or a bunch of other file?
[12:20] <kjw75> Rannick is it just an ISO file or a bunch of other files?
[12:20] <vaurdan> bruenig: lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.
[12:20] <vaurdan> eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[12:20] <vaurdan> eth1      No scan results
[12:20] <bruenig> OmegaCenti, $ indicates variable, so when I say $interface, I mean your interface which will be variable
[12:20] <jrib> stu-mc: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[12:20] <anoobis> ah ha i see ty Jordan_U
[12:20] <OmegaCenti> bruenig: oh, thought it was an actuall physically existant variable.. I tried echoing it ^_^
[12:21] <Jordan_U> anoobis, np :)
[12:21] <Rannick> When I pop it into the drive, I get a splash screen than it gives me the option for a a few files to install.  But no indication as to how to install the OS, other than to boot from the disc.
[12:21] <enviouz> imbecile:  i dont know it by name but it is on gnomelook.rog (i think thats the name of it anyway). you can also get it by adding the ub studio repos
[12:21] <bruenig> vaurdan, you are right then, it doesn't detect it
[12:21] <metguru> hey everyone; I'm having a problem with my wireless in ubuntu. it works very intermitently, but in windows, it works fine
[12:21] <bruenig> vaurdan, are you sure it is on and working
[12:21] <Jordan_U> Rannick, Do you know how to set your BIOS to boot from CD?
[12:21] <vaurdan> yes
[12:21] <vaurdan> bruenig: yes
[12:22] <Rannick> Yup, did that.  Got sent directly to Caldera DR-DOS everytime.  :(
[12:22] <vaurdan> bruenig: what can I do?
[12:22] <vaurdan> wait
[12:22] <kjw75> Rannick so you see the ubuntu splash screen when your computer boots up?
[12:22] <Jordan_U> Rannick, Do you have a DR-DOS CD in one of your drives?
[12:22] <vaurdan> i'm restarting wireless adaptor
[12:22] <bruenig> vaurdan, um don't really know, it doesn't really appear to be a hardware failure or anything like that, is your wireless interface up
[12:22] <imbecile> enviouz, what would happen if i tried "apt-get install ubuntustudio" ?
[12:23] <vaurdan> ahh
[12:23] <vaurdan> now found!
[12:23] <vaurdan> but dont appear on GUI interface
[12:23] <Rannick> No while I'm in windows.  When the comp boots, it sends me straight to Caldera DR-DOS
[12:23] <Jordan_U> imbecile, It would add some themes and new applications
[12:23] <enviouz> imbecile:  i think that installs all studio packages. do you just want the theme?
[12:23] <TacoBob> Anyone know what a Buffer I/O error on device blah blah means during the installer/livecd?
[12:23] <Rannick> Using and Asus A8V Deluxe board, if that helps any...
[12:23] <kjw75> Rannick, in windows right now, look at the files on the disc, what do you see?
[12:23] <Jordan_U> Rannick, Do you have a DR-DOS CD in one of your drives?
[12:23] <vaurdan> bruenig: what can I do now?
[12:23] <CppIsWeird> if when i click a .pl file i want it to open up in a terminal window and execute, how would i do this? i assume you would run a command that creates a new terminal window passing it command to run when opened
[12:24] <bruenig> vaurdan, what did your previous three comments mean
[12:24] <imbecile> Jordan_U, enviouz,  thanks, i want the whole thing but i didnt want to lose all my settings.. this sounds perfect for me
[12:24] <kjw75> Rannick my guess is that you used the Nero bootable CD option, instead of creating a disc from image file, is this so?
[12:24] <vaurdan> bruenig: now the wireless is detected
[12:24] <vaurdan> bruenig: what i do now?
[12:25] <bruenig> vaurdan, iwconfig $interface essid $essid
[12:25] <Rannick> Um, yeah.
[12:25] <qsheets_> I was switching b/w tty1 and tty7(GUI) and all of a sudden my screen went blank except for the mouse...can someone help me?
[12:25] <Rannick> Should I not have?
[12:25] <kjw75> Rannick no, that won't work
[12:25] <Khawn> CpplsWeird, in nautilus you can right click and run in terminal
[12:25] <bruenig> vaurdan, unless it is encrypted, then you need to do something else too
[12:25] <Rannick> Oh...
[12:25] <vaurdan> bruenig: how do I connect by the GUI?
[12:25] <centaur5> my atheros as5050 card doesn't even show in ifconfig but it shows that the atheros driver is being used. What should I do?
[12:25] <bruenig> vaurdan, not sure, not a big gui fan
[12:25] <enviouz> imbecile:  a quick not if you upgrade to the whole thing it installs the low latency kernel. if you get that kernel you may have to rebuild your video control module(idk about nvidia) i had to on my ati card
[12:26] <Jordan_U> Rannick, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[12:26] <Rannick> So, whoopsie, sorry for the trouble guys.
[12:26] <msjackdaniels_> Hello. Can someone offer me some help with getting my wireless to work?
[12:26] <kjw75> Rannick I think in Nero under the file menu there's an option that says burn image to disc, but I dunno, I don't use nero, but it should be there somewhere
[12:26] <bruenig> !someone | msjackdaniels_
[12:26] <ubotu> msjackdaniels_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[12:26] <kjw75> Rannick but just don't use nero's bootable disc option
[12:26] <CppIsWeird> Khawn, but if i want to just double click it and have it run, how would that work?
[12:27] <bruenig> vaurdan, the only wireless gui I have used before is wifi-radar, but I think ubuntu tends to use the networkmanager framework so I am unfamiliar
[12:27] <OutlawProgrammer> I have a widescreen monitor and my taskbar (both top and bottom) has been weired out - here's a screen shot - http://75.11.0.157/images/screenshot.png
[12:27] <Rannick> Roger that, making a new disc.  :)
[12:27] <truthfatal> CppIsWeird: maybe right-click a .pl file in nautilus, go to properties->Open With->Add+ and use:
[12:27] <truthfatal> gnome-terminal -x
[12:27] <kjw75> Rannick cool, that should work
[12:27] <enviouz> any other apps out there besides xev that will let me check gampad button assignments?
[12:27] <OutlawProgrammer> it's almost as if gnome doesn't know anything bigger that 1280x1024
[12:28] <msjackdaniels_> I am having troubles connecting to my Linksys wireless router. I don't think things are configured correctly because when I do 'iwconfig' I see 'no wireless extensions' for everything listed.
[12:28] <Rannick> I'll be back if it doesn't.  :)  Y'all take can and thanks!  :D
[12:28] <bruenig> OutlawProgrammer, gnome doesn't deal with resolution, that is an X thing
[12:28] <kjw75> Rannick gl
[12:28] <manko> Anyone here using Ubuntu on satellite laptop p100/p105 series?
[12:28] <OutlawProgrammer> bruenig, did you look at the screen shot?
[12:28] <rubsty> Hi I got frostwire installed but when I start it up and finish the setup it just goes to a white screen and nothing else, what is wrong?
[12:29] <enviouz> xev returns no output but i know my pad works
[12:29] <bruenig> OutlawProgrammer, yeah ugly looking thing, what was I supposed to be looking for
[12:29] <qsheets_> I was switching b/w tty1 and tty7(GUI) and all of a sudden my screen went blank except for the mouse...can someone help me?
[12:29] <bruenig> OutlawProgrammer, can you not move that stuff over? how did the speaker get over there
[12:29] <Jordan_U> OutlawProgrammer, Just move the icons to the right
[12:29] <OutlawProgrammer> bruenig, look at the top task bar - notice the clock display, and then look further left where the volume icon is
[12:29] <bruenig> OutlawProgrammer, right click move
[12:29] <OutlawProgrammer> bruenig - erp - I meant look further to the right
[12:29] <jesusphreak> why is Java 1.4 the latest version in the respositories?

[12:31] <oush> would ubuntu be recommended for running a HTTP Server, Mail Server and an IRC Server?
[12:31] <OutlawProgrammer> bruenig - ahhhh - i see, the icons are locked in poosition and I have to physically move them - annoying, but ok...
[12:31] <Administrator> on ubuntu server, is there anyway to create multiple  windows.  Like on gnome-terminal ctrl+shift+T.
[12:31] <bruenig> OutlawProgrammer, just don't lock them
[12:31] <mike-kubuntu> for some reason the wrong nvidia kernel module is getting loaded since my update to the 96** drivers, when my kernel fist loads up it loads the 76** drivers and x wont start because nvidia glx is 96**, however, if i do an rmmod nvidia, then modprobe nvidia, the correct drivers get loaded, i've tried using module-assistant to recompile the drivers by hand and it still loads the old drivers, i have the version of nvidia-

[12:31] <sniperkid> lol
[12:31] <imbecile> can someone give me a hand and tell me where i am messing up.. i am trying to add ubuntustudio repo
[12:31] <Obfuscator> was here earlier today, sorry for being a bit of a nag, but I need some help with my suspend-to-disk/ram.
[12:31] <imbecile> oops

[12:31] <imbecile> can someone give me a hand and tell me where i am messing up.. i am trying to add ubuntustudio repo http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27876/
[12:31] <pizza> when i try to map the share directly ( \\name\sharename) it asks for user/pass, but won't do anything when i put them in
[12:31] <oush> would ubuntu be recommended for running a HTTP Server, Mail Server and an IRC Server?
[12:31] <imbecile> sorry for the repeat
[12:31] <sniperkid> is there like some reason why, apt-get update doesn't work ?
[12:32] <jrib> what does 'sudo echo hi' do?
[12:32] <Jordan_U> mike-kubuntu, Are you using the drivers from the repositories?
[12:32] <HymnToLife> oush, for home or production uses ?

[12:33] <kjw75> can someone do me a favour and go to: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libdevel/libncurses5-dev and tell me if the red dot is beside libc-dev or libncurses5 ... thanks
[12:33] <Branden> on ubuntu server, is there anyway to create multiple  windows. Like on gnome-terminal ctrl+shift+T.
[12:33] <tlink> pizza : in your smb.conf file there's a [public]  spot, try putting the share in there and make sure its set to public.

[12:33] <pi3> does anybody have google's ip?
[12:33] <pizza> hm
[12:33] <OutlawProgrammer> bruenig - well, I don't change resolutions once I get the the monitor's native, but I'll leave them unlocked anyway - thanks for the help :)
[12:33] <pi3> i think my dns is down
[12:33] <Branden> pi3, you can use 4.2.2.1 as a DNS server
[12:33] <sniperkid> Pinging google.com [72.14.207.99]  with 32 bytes of data:

[12:34] <pizza> tlink: it has information there that matches the drive i'm trying to map
[12:34] <pi3> Branden: thank you, that is openDSN, right?
[12:34] <pizza> public=yes
[12:34] <kjw75> Jordan_U hmm, I only see one red dot and it is between the two of them, you see two red dots?
[12:34] <msjackdaniels_> How do I correctly configure my Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan network controller to connect to my Linksys router via a wireless connection? I can see the router. It prompts me for my password. And it freezes at 28% saying Configuring Device.
[12:34] <bruenig> sniperkid, change your mirror then
[12:34] <sniperkid> how do i change that ?
[12:34] <manko> Guys just a question... 1280x800 is the max resolution a can use on a toshiba satellite 17" widescreen?
[12:34] <Jordan_U> kjw75, Yes, what browser are you using?
[12:34] <Branden> pi3, it may be, I cant remember where i got the DNS ip from.
[12:34] <bruenig> sniperkid, where it says gb, use another code, us uk ca fr whatever
[12:34] <sniperkid> /etc/profile ?
[12:34] <pizza> manko: check the manufacturer page
[12:34] <cdehaan> Hello! If I am using an Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz processor with (as far as I know) no special provisions for virtualization, what are my options other than VMware? Can I still use KVM, or should I use Xen?
[12:34] <tlink> pizza : kk hold on a sec and let me check what mine looks like, its been a while
[12:34] <bruenig> sniperkid, /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:35] <pizza> k
[12:35] <sniperkid> im trying, apt-get update
[12:35] <sniperkid> ok, thanks
[12:35] <imbecile> bruenig,  i got the same error sudo su -c echo "deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio feisty main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:35] <kjw75> Jordan_U I'm using IE for Windows :( trying to get my wireless working under linux
[12:35] <pizza> tlink: pm please
[12:35] <imbecile> is that right?
[12:35] <Jordan_U> manko, That looks low, do you not know your monitor's native resolution?
[12:35] <qsheets_> I was switching b/w tty1 and tty7(GUI) and all of a sudden my screen went blank except for the mouse...can someone help me?
[12:36] <bruenig> imbecile, oh I didn't notice the backticks, use ' not backticks, or just do: echo "deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio feisty main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:36] <kitche> qsheets_: what driver are you using?
[12:36] <OutlawProgrammer> next question - how do I turn off desktop effects like the animated open/close frame?
[12:36] <bruenig> OutlawProgrammer, #ubuntu-effects
[12:36] <qsheets_> kitche, nVidia
[12:36] <cdehaan> OutlawProgrammer: System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects
[12:36] <kitche> qsheets_: there seems to be a bug with the nvidia driver that ubuntu uses it's fixed in the last stable one that nvidia has
[12:36] <sniperkid> [connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com]  [connecting to security.ubuntu.com]   could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' could not resolve 'security.ubuntu.com'
[12:37] <pi3> Branden: it still not works
[12:37] <imbecile> bruenig,  yayyyy i got it.. thanks again
[12:37] <pi3> any idea?
[12:37] <Branden> can you only run one CLI on ubuntu server?  If i started a program, how would i exit without terminating th program
[12:37] <qsheets_> thx kitche
[12:37] <cdehaan> Branden: You can use Screen, or background processes.
[12:37] <OutlawProgrammer> cdehaan, not in there (I had already looked)
[12:37] <Akkard_> hi
[12:37] <Branden> cdehann, thanks noted
[12:37] <Pici> Branden: Or use the different ttys
[12:37] <manko> It's just on Ubuntu... with Windows Vista I can get to 1440xXXX
[12:37] <kitche> Branden: alt+F# switches to the other virtual ttys
[12:37] <Jordan_U> sniperkid, Are you connected to the internet? ( if this isn't the machine you are running that from of course :)
[12:37] <sniperkid> yes
[12:37] <Jordan_U> manko, What card?
[12:38] <sniperkid> im running a TS server and IRC and there are people on it
[12:38] <Akkard_> I'll soon find out
[12:38] <kitche> sniperkid: by chance waht does cat /etc/resolv.conf show
[12:38] <cdehaan> OutlawProgrammer: How did you turn it on? If that's not there, you may simply need to install the program again, or if you're using Beryl or Compiz, then I don't know.
[12:38] <manko> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[12:38] <manko> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[12:38] <sniperkid> it says
[12:38] <Jordan_U> manko, install 915resolution
[12:38] <sniperkid> search home
[12:38] <kitche> sniperkid: and that's it?
[12:38] <sniperkid> nameserver 192.168.1.1
[12:38] <cdehaan> Branden: screen you can use if you're SSHing in, using Crtl + Z to background a process is an option any time, and if you're physically at the machine, you can use Alt + F1-6 to get to the other TTYs
[12:38] <manko> great, I will try it...
[12:38] <Jordan_U> manko, Then restart X
[12:39] <sniperkid> hmm
[12:39] <sniperkid> i think maybe its ment to be 0.1
[12:39] <manko> yep... thanks
[12:39] <sniperkid> 1.1 was my old router
[12:39] <Jordan_U> manko, np
[12:39] <Branden> cdehaan, thank you, that is what i needed to know
[12:39] <kitche> sniperkid: could be but that's your most likely bet though
[12:40] <sniperkid> working now :) thanks
[12:40] <Branden> pi3. well i am running DNS server 4.2.2.1 or you can try 4.2.2.2
[12:40] <cdehaan> Branden: For whatever it counts, I use screen.
[12:40] <cdehaan> Branden: A nice part about screen is that you can send your entire screen session (containing multiple "terminals" if you will) to the background, disconnect, and come back to the whole business later.
[12:41] <OutlawProgrammer> cdehaan - It happens for every program I open. I'm not using beryl/compwiz, and I don't have the "experiemntal effects turned on.
[12:41] <Charles_Xavier> hi
[12:41] <cdehaan> Outlaw: Feisty?
[12:41] <TacoBob> I have a general quest about Ubuntu if someone could help me?
[12:41] <OutlawProgrammer> cdehaan, yeah
[12:41] <kitche> !ask | TacoBob
[12:41] <ubotu> TacoBob: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:42] <CppIsWeird> if when i click a .pl file i want it to open up in a terminal window and execute, how would i do this? i assume you would run a command that creates a new terminal window passing it command to run when opened
[12:42] <Charles_Xavier> I enabled my root account with the password "test" and i think someone might of hacked me because everything is all screwed up and deleted.. i dindt mean to enable it, it was infact for testing purposes and i dindt know i could get hacked that fast
[12:42] <cdehaan> OutlawProgrammer: Did you try #ubuntu-effects? They could probably help you figure it out...
[12:42] <Branden> cdehaan: great that is what i needed.  Screen looks like it is definitely worth looking into.
[12:42] <Charles_Xavier> i have turned it back off, is there any way to restore the files
[12:42] <cdehaan> Branden: And now I'll leave you alone :)
[12:42] <OutlawProgrammer> cdehaan - i'm in there now, but so far no joy
[12:43] <unagi> does anyone here know anything about DUN with bluetooth and wvdial?
[12:43] <imbecile> i just installed ubuntu studio repos.. is there anyway to install and have running everything at once? (e.g. splash and themes)
[12:43] <kitche> CppIsWeird: umm try this xterm perl <script>.pl see what it does
[12:43] <TacoBob> alright, should I bother trying to get Ubuntu to work on a very old (600 mhz) Sony computer? It seems like it has a lot of odd proprietary parts and I dunno if a Linux newbie like myself could get it to work
[12:44] <TacoBob> I'm fixing this computer for an old lady that just wants to access the internet but can't legally reinstall windows
[12:44] <cdehaan> TacoBob: I say it's worth a shot, because lots of really old proprietary components are supported :)
[12:44] <newtubuntu> how do I install the Acrobat plugin to view PDF in Firefox ?
[12:44] <miramana> Charles_Xavier, e2undel
[12:44] <cdehaan> TacoBob: It's the really new proprietary ones that cause the most trouble.
[12:44] <joshritger> can someone tell me if there is a way to get a secondary drive to auto mount while keeping the drive icon visible under computer this is in 7.04
[12:45] <cdehaan> TacoBob: What I would suggest is looking up all the hardware information from Device Manager, and finding out what you'd have to do to get things working that don't.
[12:45] <TacoBob> There's no OS on it currently, that's how it was delivered to me
[12:45] <TacoBob> So far the ubuntu installer fails with several error messages
[12:45] <TacoBob> I just dunno if I'm getting into a lost cause
[12:45] <cdehaan> TacoBob: Ah, yes. What errors are they?
[12:45] <Charles_Xavier> this is such a joke lol, i switched to ubuntu linux so i dont get hacked, ive never gotten hacked in windows, but i just wanted more security anyways, and the same week i switched to ubuntu i got hacked LOL
[12:45] <enviouz> any gamers around?
[12:46] <Charles_Xavier> its not a joke really
[12:46] <cdehaan> TacoBob: If you're willing to spend some time working on it, I'd guess you could figure it out
[12:46] <Charles_Xavier> it actually happend
[12:46] <cdehaan> Charles_Xavier: How did you "get hacked?"
[12:46] <melz> hi everyone! can anybody help me please to make my resolution 1200x800?
[12:46] <Charles_Xavier> i enabled root acct
[12:46] <rubsty> can anyone help me I just installed frostwire and everytime I start it I just get a white screen how can I fix this?
[12:46] <Charles_Xavier> with pw test
[12:46] <cdehaan> Running SMB, SSH, FTPd, Apache2, etc?
[12:46] <Charles_Xavier> for test purposes
[12:46] <Charles_Xavier> i dindt think someone could hack me that fast
[12:46] <cdehaan> Charles_Xavier: And you're running unfirewalled?
[12:46] <Charles_Xavier> i was just testing around
[12:46] <Charles_Xavier> ya
[12:46] <newtubuntu> Charles_Xavier: how/where did you get hacked ?
[12:46] <Charles_Xavier> how do i firwall
[12:46] <kitche> Charles_Xavier: that's why but you probably ran something that had an exploit in it
[12:46] <Charles_Xavier> i went to a irc linux channel
[12:46] <Charles_Xavier> that shows ips
[12:46] <TacoBob> I get a bunch of buffer i/o errors during install then it fails with a can't access tty: job control turned off
[12:46] <jrib> !enter | Charles_Xavier
[12:46] <ubotu> Charles_Xavier: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[12:46] <Charles_Xavier> i think someone here might of hacked me
[12:46] <cdehaan> Charles_Xavier: Well, there you go. People run password scanners on open ports, and you can bet "test" would be in a dictionary scanner.
[12:47] <preaction> Charles_Xavier: and you're running sshd with that? you allow root to login to sshd? you deserved to get cracked
[12:47] <dadeEldron> I installed the medibuntu files and I still can't play mp3's, What can I do?
[12:47] <cdehaan> Charles_Xavier: It's about the worst password since "password."
[12:47] <pouet> ubuntu rox : D
[12:47] <Charles_Xavier> IT WAS FOR TESTING PURPOSES
[12:47] <Charles_Xavier> lol
[12:47] <preaction> !caps | Charles_Xavier
[12:47] <ubotu> Charles_Xavier: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[12:47] <Charles_Xavier> i wanted to connect root from my old computer to my new one
[12:47] <cdehaan> Charles_Xavier: Yeah, well, when your machine is live (I.e. plugged into anything but power) you can't mess with network testing.
[12:47] <Charles_Xavier> so i enabled ssh
[12:47] <preaction> Charles_Xavier: do not do that. use sudo -i instead. do not allow root to login remotely in any capacity
[12:47] <codecaine> is there a education respirtory for gnome?
[12:47] <Charles_Xavier> i wont from now on
[12:47] <Charles_Xavier> how do i turn on the firewall
[12:48] <cdehaan> Charles_Xavier: It's like me leaving $100 sitting on a street corner and saying I was leaving it there for testing purposes... either way it doesn't work :)
[12:48] <preaction> !firewall | Charles_Xavier
[12:48] <ubotu> Charles_Xavier: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[12:48] <unagi> does anyone here know anything about DUN with bluetooth and wvdial?
[12:48] <jrib> Charles_Xavier: stop using enter to break up your thoughts.  Use the ',' or '.'.  Thanks
[12:48] <enviouz> Charles_Xavier:  thers and app out there that will test how long it takes to crack your password too (if you wanna test future passwords) i cant quite remember what its called though
[12:48] <joshritger> can someone please tell me how to auto mount a secondary drive without loosing its icon under computer?
[12:48] <kitche> Charles_Xavier: you can also not permit root to login using ssh though the sshd_config file
[12:48] <Evilbadwrong> Panic!! I used Envy to install the latest ATI driver, and now my screen goes blank when I restart - no graphics whatsoever. I'm using the LiveCD right now....how do I revert back to the old driver?
[12:49] <cdehaan> Evilbadwrong: You should have, in your /etc/X11 directory, an xorg.conf.backup or similar.
[12:49] <Charles_Xavier> btw im in line cd too
[12:49] <Charles_Xavier> live
[12:49] <Charles_Xavier> my computer was messed up so bad by thte hacker i cant even load it
[12:49] <Arioc1> Maybe Charles_Xavier is wanting to setup a honey pot.  (chuckle)
[12:49] <atarinox> has anybody here run mythtv off ubuntu? do you know can you dual boot into myth and windows on anotherp partition?
[12:49] <CppIsWeird> kitche, would it be %1?
[12:49] <Evilbadwrong> Ok cdehaan....what do I do? I'm completely new to Ubuntu/Linux....
[12:49] <pizza123> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:50] <preaction> Charles_Xavier: reinstall and be smart this time. good luck
[12:50] <dadeEldron> can anyone successfully play mp3s? and if so can they show me how to do it?
[12:50] <kitche> CppIsWeird: what would be %1?
[12:50] <Branden> is smbpassword the command needed to use passwords to enter samba shares, if so smbpassword is not found on my box
[12:50] <rubsty> can anyone help me I just installed frostwire and everytime I start it I just get a white screen how can I fix this?
[12:50] <preaction> Branden: smbpasswd
[12:50] <Branden> thank you
[12:50] <cdehaan> Evilbadwrong: did Ubuntu mount the original HD on your desktop?

[12:51] <dadeEldron> I been there already
[12:51] <Arioc1> dadeEldron, use Automatix

[12:52] <TexasTaz> Dang Printers are driving me crazy
[12:52] <Arioc1> haha... rubsty, install Automatix.  Frostwire you can install Frostwire from there.
[12:53] <CppIsWeird> kitche, nvm, i think i got it.

[12:53] <enviouz> rubsty:  do you have the latest versionof java?
[12:53] <cdehaan> CppIsWeird: You can use more or less to go through output slowly
[12:53] <sniperkid> how do i cancel something from running (example a java project)
[12:53] <rubsty> enviouz, yes i do
[12:54] <godlygeek> so, are there any docs that would explain, for example, how the system decides when to turn the backlight on and off?
[12:54] <enviouz> idk then never had that prob before
[12:54] <cdehaan> CppIsWeird: I.e. cat /proc/cpuinfo | less
[12:54] <preaction> sniperkid: most likely sigint, which is ctrl+c
[12:54] <sniperkid> kk ty :)
[12:54] <cdehaan> Evilbadwrong: I pm'd you back.

[12:54] <rubsty> Arioc1, no thanks
[12:54] <|Carrera> it depends on if its dark or not

[12:55] <fatdigger> hey guys
[12:55] <enviouz> anyone?
[12:55] <newuser00> I have installed "keymapper" but i have no idea where to find it (just coming from WinXP 2 days ago). Where can i find the recently installed aplications on feisty? Thanx =/
[12:56] <TexasTaz> Anyone have a good source for installing printers using lpd or cups wrapper
[12:56] <fatdigger> im having a great dificulty trying to mount a hard drive in kubuntu, how do I allow "permission" to edit files/folders... it wont let me touch anything.
[12:56] <rubsty> Arioc1, no i must have missed the link
[12:56] <jhakk> another question for you guys.. ever couple of boots, the inital boot will fail.. i'll see "Starting Up..." and then it will just dump me in busybox with nowhere to go.. but if I just reboot again, it starts up just fine every time

[12:57] <fatdigger>  im having a great difficulty trying to mount a hard drive in kubuntu, how do I allow "permission" to edit files/folders... it wont let me touch anything. anyone?
[12:57] <Arioc1> rubsty, I'm whispering to you... do you see that?

[12:58] <Arioc1> rubsty, try the "Easy Direct Installation"
[12:59] <TacoBob> Any ideas on why the installer fails with bin/sh: can't access tty;job control turned off ? It also says ata2: port failed to respond
[12:59] <newuser00> anyone?
[12:59] <fatdigger> for real, can anyone tell me how to change my permissions... i can't do anything...
[12:59] <qsheets_> kitche
[01:00] <Arioc1> newuser00, did you install it via apt?
[01:00] <kitche> fatdigger: what do you need to know you can use umask to allow users to use the device
[01:00] <godlygeek> jhakk: Just a quick guess, but - shoddy memory?  It would explain unpredictable random failures in times when there is a lot of strain on memory, like during bootup.
[01:01] <fatdigger> kitche: how?
[01:01] <newuser00> i used Synaptic
[01:01] <qsheets_> kitche, i installed the nVidia driver and it didn't help any

[01:01] <Rex> hello everyone. Does anyone know if there is an easy way to install "LAMP" on ubuntu feisty? All of the tuts that I find are for server edition. I just need it for local development. Any ideas?
[01:02] <jrib> !lamp > Rex (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:02] <kitche> fatdigger: want the FilePermissions link then on that page it has a volume permissions
[01:02] <geck0> So I just installed preload, in an attempt to make my applications load up faster.  Does anyone know how to use it?
[01:02] <Rex> jrib ;) thanks!
[01:02] <godlygeek> jhakk: when you get dumped to busybox, do can you use dmesg?  If you can't come up with anything, try turning off the boot splash and seeing if you learn something from all the text scrolling by.
[01:03] <qsheets_> kitche, i installed the nVidia driver and it didn't help any
[01:03] <Arioc1> newuser00, did you check System and Preferences or Administration?
[01:03] <kitche> qsheets_: did you restart X?
[01:03] <qsheets_> yes
[01:03] <kitche> qsheets_: then it's more the nvidia most likely
[01:04] <geck0> So I just installed preload, in an attempt to make my applications load up faster.  Does anyone know how to use it?
[01:04] <qsheets_> it would install when x is running
[01:04] <newuser00> Arioc1, yes =/
[01:04] <qsheets_> * it wouldn't install when x is running
[01:04] <geck0> How can I select what applications are preloaded, etc?

[01:35] <newuser00> what kind of extention is used for the .exe equivalent in ubuntu? :S
[01:36] <tekryan> Hello. I recently installed ubuntu on my computer and I can't get my wireless adapter to work with it. I searched google and posted on ubuntu forums and still no help does anyone in here know anything concerning configuring/setting up?
[01:36] <|thunder> newuser00; isnt one, anything can be a binary
[01:36] <kitche> newuser00: there isn't one
[01:36] <bruenig> fatdigger, ok so when you do the sudo mount command, it asks you for your password, you give it and then it does what
[01:36] <Boris> When I run "grub-install --root-directory=/media/floppy '(fd0)'" I get "The file /media/floppy/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly."
[01:36] <Flannel> !wifi | tekryan
[01:36] <ubotu> tekryan: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:36] <tekryan> I read that too
[01:36] <tekryan> Like it says
[01:36] <tekryan> do apt get
[01:36] <tekryan> but to do that you have to be connected in first place
[01:36] <newuser00> |thunder & kitche, thank you both
[01:36] <tekryan> o.0
[01:37] <fatdigger> bruenig: look sudo mount -t <filesystem> /dev/sda3 /media/<mount> umask=0222
[01:37] <|thunder> newuser00; ls -la should maybe show some x's in the permissions for the file to run. always prefix a binary with a reletive or absolute path.   ./  works dandy
[01:37] <fatdigger> woops
[01:37] <bruenig> fatdigger, you have to edit those

[01:41] <bruenig> StrongArm, close synaptic
[01:41] <StrongArm> ok
[01:41] <tekryan> No Flannel, I will check that now
[01:41] <Siph0n> nivekc1: ubuntuforums.org
[01:41] <DjViper> Wikkedfin^: you should look at Ubuntu Studio
[01:41] <alecwh> Is it possible to run Windows Vista, XP, and OSX on Ubuntu?
[01:41] <Flannel> StrongArm: close other package maangers you hae open
[01:42] <Flannel> alecwh: on?  or along side?
[01:42] <kitche> alecwh: umm OSX no but what do you mean on
[01:42] <Wikkedfin^> thx DjViper
[01:42] <bruenig> unagi, depends on the theme, probably just bad on the guy who created its end
[01:42] <StrongArm> thanks bruenig, Flannel
[01:42] <fatdigger> it said: mount: /dev/sda3 already mounted or /media/ busy
[01:42] <fatdigger> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda3 is mounted on /
[01:42] <fatdigger>  but that's a lie
[01:42] <alecwh> I mean, like, INSIDE Ubuntu. Like, Parallels with Mac.
[01:42] <joshritger> i am trying to setup a shared folder with samba and i can see the samba computer but not access it with my windows box. I need to know how I set up a password for the samba folder
[01:42] <Flannel> alecwh: sure.  There's virtualization software available for linux.
[01:42] <newuser00> |thunder, i dont understand that very well, i installed linux for the first time 2 days ago... what im trying to do is find the file that launches a program in the list of installed files, since i cant find the program anywhere >.< it says its in the utils section, but i dont see any section with that name or similar (my ubuntu is not in english)
[01:42] <fatdigger> bruenig  it said: mount: /dev/sda3 already mounted or /media/ busy
 mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda3 is mounted on /
  but that's a lie
[01:42] <alecwh> Is OSX a possiblilitY?
[01:43] <sn0w> where can i go for compiz specific questions
[01:43] <|Carrera> a possibility for what?
[01:43] <Flannel> alecwh: I dont see why not. Assuming OSX can be run virtualized anywhere, it can be run virtualized in ubuntu.
[01:43] <tekryan> Flannel,  Yes - works from the install CD; NOTE: hard lockups if network-manager is used to activate the interface; WEP and WPA functionality unknown
[01:43] <bruenig> fatdigger, sudo umount /dev/sda3 ; sudo mkdir /media/sda3 ; sudo mount -t ntfs -o umask=222 /dev/sda3 /media/sda3
[01:43] <tekryan> Is it talking about the linksys install cd?
[01:43] <Wikkedfin^> DjViper do you personaly use Ubuntu Studio?
[01:43] <Flannel> tekryan: No, I think that's talking about the Ubuntu install CD.
[01:44] <unagi> it happens on every theme i install
[01:44] <alecwh> Can anyone confirm that Mac OS X can run on Virtualization software on Ubuntu?
[01:44] <fatdigger> bruenig: umount: /: device is busy
[01:44] <fatdigger> umount: /: device is busy
[01:44] <fatdigger> curious
[01:44] <bruenig> fatdigger, are you sure your ntfs drive is /dev/sda3
[01:44] <d4rkmonkey> kitche, that didn't work. When i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg reconfigure X, I got some error saying something about reconfigure package not installed
[01:44] <sn0w> im on amd64 but the compiz-settings package is only 386, so i had to use sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture to install it
[01:44] <dockane_> hi.. i am affected by the following problem on a thinkpad t22: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_3Com_10/100_Ethernet_card_not_being_recognized
[01:44] <DjViper> Wikkedfin^: no, but thats what I'd use if I was going to make music :)
[01:44] <justinb> I'm looking for Ubuntu WarDriving apps...know of any good ones?
[01:44] <d4rkmonkey> whats wardriving?
[01:44] <sn0w> now i get an error about not being able to find a shared library for libXcomposite.so.1
[01:44] <DjViper> Wikkedfin^: its ubuntu + a lot of audio/video apps
[01:45] <Flannel> justinb: the usual ones should be available in the repos.
[01:45] <kitche> fatdigger: umm you entered the wrong command
[01:45] <justinb> d4rkmonkey...it's where you drive around and log wifi signals
[01:45] <justinb> Flannel...I didn't see any
[01:45] <Flannel> justinb: you probably want to enable universe.
[01:45] <fatdigger> bruenig: its not sda2 or 1 which are differnt drives
[01:45] <bruenig> fatdigger, do sudo fdisk -l
[01:45] <justinb> Flannel. Have it enabled.
[01:45] <newuser00> |thunder ty tho
[01:46] <justinb> like the ones they list are for web cracking and such
[01:46] <tekryan> Flannel, thanks for your help, i'm going to try some things. I don't know if I necessarily need ndiswrap or not....kind of vague on the instructions
[01:46] <unagi> no one has any ideas huh
[01:46] <OmegaCenti> Flannel: did you try tdl?
[01:46] <DjViper> unagi: what happens every time you install what?
[01:46] <bruenig> unagi, people who create themes aren't gods, they make mistakes, I think you greatly overestimate the legitimacy of stuff you find
[01:46] <OmegaCenti> Flannel: could I get that hardline again? I didn't see anything in the guide about that
[01:47] <bruenig> unagi, they are people, they err
[01:47] <Flannel> OmegaCenti: not yet, haven't had time.  But read up about it.  Looks handy
[01:47] <kitche> fatdigger: /dev/sda2 /dev/sda1 is the same drive different partitions
[01:47] <fatdigger> bruenig: ahh, its not sda3, thats actually my linux drive... my external isnt even listed; besides i think i named it "dad"
[01:47] <fatdigger> bruenig: is there a "find hardware cmd in sudo"
[01:47] <Flannel> OmegaCenti: in ~/.screenrc : hardstatus alwayslastline "%{wb}[ %?%-Lw%?%{bw} %n*%f %t %{wb}%?%+Lw%? ] %= %{wb}[ %m/%d %c ] "
[01:47] <unagi> so basically there is no consistent theme out there and everyone is making the same mistake which also includes the theme not even showing up in the theme manager?
[01:47] <DjViper> fatdigger: lspci / lsusb
[01:47] <bruenig> fatdigger, unplug the external drive, plug it back in, then wait a few seconds and do dmesg to see what it names the thing
[01:48] <bruenig> fatdigger, also stop saying in sudo, you are in the kernel
[01:48] <shavex> where is a good room to go to find out how to fix my sound problem?
[01:48] <Pelo> shavex, this would be it
[01:48] <unagi> i dont know how much more clearly i can state it pelo
[01:49] <bruenig> unagi, you are probably installing compiz themes or something
[01:49] <mariocesar_bo> hi all, i want to install this app http://www.geogebra.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=72&Itemid=58&lang=en
[01:49] <Pelo> unagi,  I just joined, I didnT' see your original statement
[01:49] <OmegaCenti> Flannel: WOW, that hardline rocks
[01:49] <unagi> what themes should i be installing for gnome then
[01:49] <mariocesar_bo> i follow all the instructions to install java on ubuntu
[01:49] <Pelo> !sound | shavex start here
[01:49] <ubotu> shavex start here: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:49] <mariocesar_bo> but i can't run it.
[01:49] <sn0w> im on amd64 but the compiz-settings package is only 386, so i had to use sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture to install it
[01:49] <sn0w> now i get an error about not being able to find a shared library for libXcomposite.so.1
[01:49] <mariocesar_bo> it's first time i want to use java, so i am a little lost :)
[01:49] <unagi> ?
[01:50] <Pelo> unagi,  the metacity themes  from www.gnome-look.org and www.art-gnome.com
[01:50] <darwin81> My cursor disappears whenever a page is loading in Firefox.
[01:50] <unagi> im on gnome-look.org and was downloading gtk
[01:50] <OmegaCenti> !gtk
[01:50] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[01:50] <bruenig> !find libXomposite.so.1
[01:50] <bruenig> !find libXcomposite.so.1
[01:50] <ubotu> Package/file libxomposite.so.1 does not exist in feisty
[01:50] <ubotu> Package/file libxcomposite.so.1 does not exist in feisty
[01:50] <unagi> what is gtk then
[01:50] <fatdigger> bruenig: theres a listing for the device I cannot discern a name except "usb mass storage", however nothing popped up in the gui
[01:50] <sn0w> try with capital X
[01:51] <bruenig> fatdigger, keep doing dmesg
[01:51] <bruenig> sn0w, I did, it converts it to undercase before the search
[01:51] <sn0w> ah
[01:51] <sn0w> well i have a binary for it
[01:51] <bruenig> sn0w, get apt-file, it will let you do that on your machine
[01:51] <bruenig> and won't mess with caps
[01:51] <Pelo> unagi,  just look to the themes in the metacity category  http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=101&PHPSESSID=443282a7ba24199e5cf1fe6e5dda513d
[01:51] <Ubuntu> I am on a Live CD boot right now. What options should I use when prompted for partition information if I want to retain all of the information currently on the hard drive?
[01:52] <sn0w> oh i think i may have found the problem, those library files are i my lib64 and lib folder but not lib32
[01:52] <Pelo> Ubuntu,  are you currently a linux user ?
[01:52] <sn0w> im going to just try to copy em in there and hope magic comes through for me again
[01:52] <Ubuntu> Yes. I use linux at work. I'm not real familiar with disk partitions however.
[01:53] <bruenig> sn0w, well I figured as much, you are probably going to need the 32 bit libs, that is why I was trying to find the package for that
[01:53] <unagi> metacity still doesnt add the theme to my list
[01:53] <d4rkmonkey> omg. this laptop hates ubuntu
[01:53] <Pelo> Ubuntu,  ok , lets try that again,  is there a linux installed on this computer ?
[01:53] <bruenig> d4rkmonkey, shouldn't have bought it
[01:53] <sn0w> yea i wish i could jsut find the source for compiz-settings but the only mirror i found was down
[01:53] <yellow_chicken> if i press the print_screen_key on keyboard, it takes a screen shot of my entire desktop, how to take only a selected window? (active screen shot)
[01:53] <Ubuntu> Pelo: ah, no. Sorry. Currently Windows XP
[01:53] <Pelo> unagi,  you download the tar.gz file and drag drop on the theme dialog box
[01:53] <bruenig> yellow_chicken, alt+print screen maybe
[01:54] <fatdigger> bruenig: heres what it says http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27891/
[01:54] <unagi> still doesnt show up
[01:54] <bruenig> fatdigger, you see it says sdb1
[01:54] <fatdigger> ah yes
[01:54] <Pelo> Ubuntu,  ok,  first you will go in  menu > system > admin > gnome partition editor,    you will need to unmount , and then resize the ntfs partition ,  you'll need at least 10-15 gig to install ubuntu
[01:54] <bruenig> fatdigger, so do, sudo mkdir /media/sdb1; sudo mount -t ntfs -o umask=222 /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
[01:55] <fatdigger> bruenig: that "file" is in my media directory already.... then why can't i acess it?
[01:55] <yellow_chicken> bruenig: ah.. thanks
[01:55] <sn0w> bruenig i found the 32bit libs online, im going to try to just throw em in there
[01:55] <Pelo> unagi,  unpack the tar-gz file,  sometimes,  it contains multipkle tar-gz files for versions of the theme those would be the ones you need to drop in the theme manager
[01:56] <unagi> i did that through process of elimination.....but whether i install the pack or drag and drop it just asks me if i want to make that my theme or keep current theme and does not show up in the list
[01:56] <Pelo> unagi,  it is also possibly that those are only theme portions,   you won'T see them in the main window,  you will need to go into the detail ?  sub dialog
[01:56] <sn0w> bruenig ugh, now a new library its complaining about, i have a bad feeling that im going to be chasing down 32bit libs for a while
[01:56] <Ubuntu> Pelo: Thanks. I am trying to unmount the partition. I have one listed. I cannot select unmount as it is greyed out from the selection menu.
[01:56] <bruenig> sn0w, I don't get why people use 64
[01:56] <fatdigger> bruenig: dude you did it, will these settings retain permanently? or will i have to do this everytime i unplug it?
[01:57] <Pelo> Ubuntu,   it would be a good idea to defrag your ntfs partition  and back up your important data befor you resize
[01:57] <Pelo> Ubuntu,  if unmount is greyedout it probably means the partition is already unmounted
[01:57] <sn0w> bruenig, what do you mean, pretty much all modern laptops you can buy today are 64bit
[01:57] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone know anything about installing Feisty on a HP Compaq 6710b?
[01:57] <bruenig> sn00p, right but you can run 32 bit on them
[01:57] <bruenig> sn0w,
[01:58] <Pelo> d4rkmonkey,  are you having a specific issue ?
[01:58] <Ubuntu> Pelo: I think I will consider investing in a second hard drive then as I have 75+ GB of data that I need. Thanks for your help though.
[01:58] <sn0w> bruenig ah, like why even install the 64bit ubuntu in the first place, ya good point
[01:58] <d4rkmonkey> pelo, I'm not exactly sure
[01:58] <d4rkmonkey> well... kinda
[01:58] <Pelo> Ubuntu,  that's what I did
[01:58] <bruenig> fatdigger, if you put this line in your /etc/fstab you should be able to just do sudo mount /dev/sdb1 each time: "/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ntfs umask=222 0 0"
[01:58] <d4rkmonkey> I'm having alot of issues with Xorg Pelo
[01:58] <Pelo> d4rkmonkey,  the usual problem has to do with the videocard,  what is yours ?
[01:59] <darwin81> My cursor disappears whenever a page is loading in Firefox.
[01:59] <d4rkmonkey> uhhh I'm not exactly sure, let me do a quick search
[01:59] <bruenig> fatdigger, if you put this line in your /etc/fstab you should be able to just do sudo mount /dev/sdb1 each time: "/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ntfs defaults,umask=222 0 0"
[01:59] <bruenig> left out the defaults
[02:00] <bruenig> not sure how great that is, probably better way to do it but whatever, that will work
[02:00] <unagi> what is a decent osx dock
[02:00] <Pelo> kxdockers,  avant ,  there are a few others but I don't know the names
[02:00] <bruenig> unagi, xfce has it built into the panel
[02:00] <bruenig> adesklets has a dock so does gdesklets
[02:01] <unagi> !xfce
[02:01] <ubotu> xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[02:01] <d4rkmonkey> Pelo, I'm not exactly sure (I'm too lazy to have to deal with this vista crap I don't want to have to go into the control panel), but on the HP website, on my model under Graphics/Audio it says that the "Graphics Subsystem Name" is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
[02:01] <javimansilla> hi there. There is not support any more for breezies?
[02:01] <bruenig> javimansilla, no
[02:02] <d4rkmonkey> javimansilla upgrade?
[02:02] <Pelo> d4rkmonkey,  ok , that's a new one to me,    can you boot the live cd at all ? do you get the deskop ?
[02:02] <javimansilla> so, if I want to use aptitude I should upgrade ... :-/
[02:02] <Pelo> d4rkmonkey,  more to the point,  did you install or are you still trying ?
[02:02] <d4rkmonkey> Trying
[02:02] <bruenig> javimansilla, you should upgrade anyways since breezy isn't supported anymore
[02:02] <javimansilla> how should I do the upgrade? Can any of you guys help me with that?
[02:02] <d4rkmonkey> I keep on getting Xorg errors
[02:03] <d4rkmonkey> I tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver -xorg reconfigure X, but when I did that it said something like reconfigure: package not available
[02:03] <bruenig> javimansilla, at this point it is probably best to get the fiesty cd and fresh install, else you will need to upgrade to 6.06, then 6.10, then 7.04, so three different upgrades, likely going to have some breakage
[02:03] <nivekc1> anyone know how to get a joypad to work on super tux
[02:03] <TexasTaz> Man this is going to be tuff to get working
[02:03] <Pelo> d4rkmonkey,  ok ,  well , try it with the alternate install cd , it is text based,  it will install a vesa driver so you can boot the desktop and deal with the driver issue after
[02:03] <lonnie> How does one get NICs  to be assigned consistent names?
[02:03] <bruenig> !xconfig | d4rkmonkey
[02:03] <ubotu> d4rkmonkey: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[02:03] <Pelo> bruenig,  not installed yet
[02:03] <lonnie> KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:0C:41:E8:BB:25", NAME="eth1"
[02:03] <d4rkmonkey> ok I'll try that then, thanks bruenig
[02:03] <javimansilla> bruenig: ummm, it does not sound nice :-(
[02:03] <d4rkmonkey> or not..
[02:04] <d4rkmonkey> pelo?
[02:04] <bruenig> Pelo, what?
[02:04] <javimansilla> bruenig: why don't just stop in 6.04 ?
[02:04] <Pelo> d4rkmonkey,  won'T hurt to try anyway
[02:04] <bruenig> it looks like his command was wrong
[02:04] <d4rkmonkey> ok I guess I'll try then
[02:04] <bruenig> he did xorg -xserver
[02:04] <lonnie> Sorry, but I tried the above line in  /etc/udev/rules.d/25-iftab.rules  but had no effect.
[02:04] <javimansilla> I mean, I don't have any installers handy
[02:04] <lonnie> Did I edit the wrong file?
[02:04] <Pelo> bruenig,  he hasn'T installed  ubuntu yet
[02:05] <bruenig> Pelo, oh
[02:05] <bruenig> javimansilla, you can do that if you want, upgrade to 6.06 and stop
[02:05] <bruenig> !upgrade | javimansilla
[02:05] <ubotu> javimansilla: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:05] <Pelo> d4rkmonkey,   dl the atlternate install cd ,  and install from that
[02:05] <javimansilla> thanks
[02:05] <Djordje> hello people
[02:05] <Pelo> !hardware | d4rkmonkey  also look up your comp here,  jsut in case
[02:05] <ubotu> d4rkmonkey  also look up your comp here,  jsut in case: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[02:06] <cafuego> lonnie: You add the interface definition to /etc/iftab.
[02:07] <cafuego> lonnie: eth0 mac 00:0f:ea:48:76:23 arp 1

[02:07] <cafuego> etc
[02:07] <lonnie> afuego: Thanks, I'll try that.
[02:08] <dominicus> how can I make the Ubuntu equivalent of a batch file?
[02:08] <tntcoda> how can i configure the automounter settings in ubuntu? Specifically i dont want it to add icons to the desktop
[02:08] <speaker219> dominicus, sh script, search on google
[02:08] <bruenig> !icons | tntcoda
[02:08] <ubotu> tntcoda: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[02:08] <Pelo> dominicus, http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[02:09] <dominicus> ok
[02:09] <alesan_> dominicus, search the bash howto (there's also the advanced one)
[02:09] <bruenig> dominicus, what are you looking for this script to do
[02:09] <dominicus> i just one it as basic as it gets
[02:09] <sn0w> bruenig i'm seriously considering just reinstalling with the 32bit disc, anychance of doing that without losing everything?
[02:09] <Pelo> tntcoda,  you can change that in  gconf-editor   /apps/nautilus/desktop   uncheck the show volume icon   option , or soemting like that
[02:09] <bruenig> sn0w, backup
[02:09] <dominicus> just 'xvnc4viewer 192.168.123.102'
[02:10] <tntcoda> bruenig: thanks but thats no what i meant, I have added 2 CIFS shares to fstab, and the automounting service has added 2 icons for them to the desktop, i need to get rid of them
[02:10] <CppIsWeird> there any way to make the buttons for my window list not fade when they are not active?\
[02:10] <dominicus> bruening: all I want is to run this: 'xvnc4viewer 192.168.123.102'
[02:10] <m1r> i went install conky but i get error, guys from conky said i have xorg.conf font problem , http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27892/
[02:11] <alesan_> "I have long felt that most computers today do not use electricity. They instead seem to be powered by the "pumping" motion of the mouse!" <- ahahah
[02:11] <alesan_> Pelo, great website
[02:11] <bruenig> dominicus, I am not a gerund: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27894/
[02:11] <dominicus> i'll try that thanks
[02:11] <bruenig> tntcoda, that is exactly what you mean
[02:11] <Pelo> alesan_ is that one there ? I didn'T notice
[02:11] <bruenig> tntcoda, volume icons on desktop
[02:12] <alesan_> Pelo, yes on "Why bother"
[02:12] <packman86> hey im new here. what do i do here?
[02:12] <lonnie> cafuego:  can I just restart the network to see if it works?
[02:12] <bruenig> dominicus, put that in a text file, make it executable with chmod +x whateveryounamethefile
[02:12] <dominicus> k
[02:12] <Pelo> alesan_,  I found that site a year ago when I started with ubuntu,  I jumped straight to the stuff I needed, didnT' realy read the rest
[02:12] <tntcoda> bruenig: sorry, im using kde but that link you sent doesnt seem to be relevant to volume icons?
[02:12] <cafuego> lonnie: You will probably need to rmmod the network drivers too
[02:12] <bruenig> dominicus, then you can run it with ./whateveryounamethefile. Or if you put the file in /usr/local/bin/whateveryounamethefile you can just run it with whateveryounamethefile
[02:12] <bruenig> tntcoda, oh kde
[02:13] <bruenig> tntcoda, #kubuntu
[02:13] <tntcoda> ok thanks
[02:13] <cafuego> lonnie: so a reboot is probbaly easier (if annoying)
[02:13] <lonnie> cafuego: ok, thanks
[02:14] <dominicus> bruenig: I though chmod was for changing permissions? I don't need 'sudo' to run that command, by the way
[02:14] <bruenig> dominicus, I never said anything about sudo
[02:15] <bruenig> dominicus, and chmod is for changing permissions, you are giving it executable permissions
[02:16] <Ax3> i installed an application using a .deb package . I want to uninstall it and replace it with an older build.  what's the process for doing this?
[02:16] <Stormx2> Ax3: sudo apt-get remove packagename
[02:16] <bruenig> Ax3, sudo dpkg -r package, sudo dpkg -i newoldpackage
[02:16] <Flannel> you probably want --purge with that as well
[02:16] <Ktravaglini> Ax3, rm -fr * usually fixes everything =-p
[02:16] <Ktravaglini> jk
[02:16] <Ktravaglini> ^_^
[02:17] <Flannel> Ktravaglini: That sort of stuff is liable to get you banned.
[02:17] <Ktravaglini> sry
[02:17] <dominicus> bruenig: so I put the code into a text file named 'xp-connect', I navigated to the Desktop via terminal and entered 'chmod +x xp-connect'. nothing changed
[02:17] <Ktravaglini> just a simple haha 1 time joke
[02:17] <ShackJack> Hi all - doing another install of Ubuntu - just wanted some feedback re: partitioning... I usually make RAM * 1.5 for swap, 8-10GB for / and the rest for /home... Just wondering if that's O.K. for average desktop system or if anyone recommends others for /boot /var, etc...
[02:17] <Ax3> Ktravaglini, that was my first instinct..... lmao
[02:17] <bruenig> dominicus, now do ./xp-connect
[02:17] <dominicus> ok
[02:17] <Ktravaglini> lol
[02:18] <dominicus> bruening: thanks!
[02:18] <Ax3> thanks Stormx2  / bruenig will try now
[02:19] <Ktravaglini> I am back - Sleep...ugh i kill ZS and FB - Left at 17:20:03 - Gone for 2days 23hrs 1min 11secs
[02:19] <Ktravaglini> wtf
[02:20] <Ktravaglini> woops
[02:20] <kitche> !away | Ktravaglini
[02:20] <ubotu> Ktravaglini: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines
[02:20] <Ktravaglini> i now =-p
[02:20] <Ktravaglini> i didnt think it was on
[02:20] <Ktravaglini> =-p
[02:20] <ProN00b> uhm, i just made a new partition with gparted
[02:21] <ProN00b> will it be detected on reboot ?
[02:21] <javimansilla> when from update-manager I want to update from 5.10 to 6.06 I got this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27896/ What I'm doing wrong?
[02:21] <Pelo> ProN00b, yes but it won'T be mounted unless you add it to fstab
[02:22] <unagi> anyone know anything about DUN with bluetooth?
[02:23] <ProN00b> Pelo, thats what i wanted to know
[02:23] <ShackJack> Any takers on my partition question? doing another install of Ubuntu - just wanted some feedback re: partitioning... I usually make RAM * 1.5 for swap, 8-10GB for / and the rest for /home... Just wondering if that's O.K. for average desktop system or if anyone recommends others for /boot /var, etc...
[02:23] <sivik> anyone have any good luck with a ati 1150x in a laptop
[02:23] <Pelo> unagi,  specific questions are usualy more likely to gef you an answer
[02:23] <ProN00b> Pelo, when i installed ubuntu fstab was autogenerated, how do i have it update
[02:23] <Reverend_Kurtz> I used the program installer in the apps tab to install azureus, but where does it install it to?
[02:23] <sivik> ATI RADEON Xpress1150
[02:23] <imbecile> hey guys, how would i install gimp-svn?
[02:23] <Reverend_Kurtz> i don't know how to tell firefox to use azureous to open torrents
[02:24] <Pelo> ProN00b, you need to edit it manualy,   gksu  gedit /etc/fstab
[02:24] <ProN00b> imbecile, svn, why do you need it from svn ?
[02:24] <ProN00b> Pelo, there must be a gui way to do it
[02:24] <Pelo> ProN00b, just copy one of the other lines,  and make appropriate modifications
[02:24] <Pelo> ProN00b, nope that 's how you do it
[02:24] <unagi> anyone know why when i try to connect with bluetooth DUN and i put in the pin it says pairing failed and connection refused?
[02:24] <imbecile> ProN00b,  its a dependency
[02:25] <Pelo> unagi,  linux is case sensitive, that might be the problem
[02:25] <ProN00b> imbecile, you sure its not svg instead of svn ?
[02:25] <unagi> i didnt know numebrs had a case
[02:25] <kitche> Pelo: ProN00b well gksu gedit /etc/fstab but you still have to manually edit it
[02:25] <kitche> Pelo: ah I see you said it already :)
[02:25] <ProN00b> i want a gui way
[02:25] <ProN00b> this is unacceptable !
[02:25] <Pelo> ProN00b, try windows then
[02:25] <newuser01> can anyone help me make the thumb buttons work on a Logiteck Clik! Plus mouse with ubuntu feisty?
[02:26] <Pelo> ProN00b, technicaly, this is gui,   cli is something else
[02:26] <Lunar_Lamp> I think my pc's BIOS is detecting 1gb of ram, but ubuntu is only detecting 512 - I have just upgraded from a single stick of 256 to two sticks of 512.  Why would this happen?
[02:26] <Pelo> !mouse | newuser01
[02:26] <ubotu> newuser01: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[02:26] <ProN00b> Pelo, do i need to create a folder in /media ?
[02:26] <imbecile> ProN00b,  oops yeah it is svg.. my bad
[02:27] <unagi_> this is so frustrating
[02:27] <Pelo> ProN00b,  there or eslewhere,  but yes,  you need to create a mount point    sudo mkdir /path/of/your/choice     ,  in /mnt or in /media ,   /media will dislpay the folder on your desktop
[02:27] <newuser01> Pelo & ubotu, thank you both, tho im not sure what the !mouse means... is it something i should type in the console?
[02:27] <ProN00b> imbecile, well search for it in synaptic or whatever you use as a package manager... (console way is apt-get install gaim-svg)
[02:27] <d4rkmonkey> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't work
[02:28] <Pelo> newtubuntu,   ubotu  is a bot  ,  !mouse is the trigger for the links ubotu displayed
[02:28] <d4rkmonkey> pelo, do you know of any other way to fix the xorg issues I'm having with my comp?
[02:28] <Pelo> d4rkmonkey,  I didn'T think it would,   you need to use the alternate install cd,
[02:28] <Pelo> !alternate | d4rkmonkey
[02:28] <ubotu> d4rkmonkey: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[02:28] <ProN00b> Pelo, i just resized a partition and even tho it mounts correctly to /media it doesn#t appear on the desktop anymore
[02:28] <newuser01> oh, thanx :P
[02:29] <unagi_> i cant believe no one is able to help =(\
[02:29] <Pelo> ProN00b,  you will need to restart X
[02:29] <tds5016> hrm. for some reason I'm unable to archive my home folder into a .tar.gz. but it appears to finish archiving, and then the file isn't there.
[02:29] <sabayonlive-2434> hi all
[02:29] <Pelo> ProN00b,  and you donT' mount to /media,  you mount to a dir inside /media like  /media/folder
[02:29] <bruenig> tds5016, what is your command
[02:29] <tds5016> I'm just using archive manager.
[02:29] <ProN00b> Pelo, ya, i didn't specify a dir at all actually
[02:30] <unagi_> does anyone know how to pair a phone and ubuntu?
[02:30] <ponicg> How well supported is the NVS 140M? I seem to have read that it might not work.
[02:30] <d4rkmonkey> Thanks for that, but I was searching google and I saw something about someone who has the same comp being able to install with the alternate CD, but wasn't able to run it
[02:30] <ponicg> unagi_, bluetooth, or what?
[02:30] <Pelo> ProN00b,  if you donT' specify a dir it won't get mounted at all
[02:30] <ponicg> d4rkmonkey, what system?
[02:30] <ProN00b> Pelo, it does, to default mount location in /media
[02:30] <d4rkmonkey> its an HP Compaq 6710b
[02:30] <Pelo> d4rkmonkey,  did you check out the hardware list to see if there was something about your system ?
[02:31] <bruenig> tds5016, oh, not familiar with that, doing cd / && sudo tar czpf homebackup.tar.gz /home
[02:31] <bruenig> tds5016, should do it
[02:31] <d4rkmonkey> uhh I searched but I couldn't find anything
[02:31] <tds5016> yeah, I should def do it cli anyhow.
[02:31] <d4rkmonkey> I think I'm going to return this laptop and get a new one
[02:31] <tds5016> that's what I get for being lazy.
[02:31] <Pelo> d4rkmonkey, the alternate install cd is still your best bet
[02:31] <bruenig> tds5016, you might want to do czpvf, so that you can see the files scrolling across and don't get tempted to kill it
[02:31] <Pelo> d4rkmonkey,   system 7 and dell make ubuntu ready laptop
[02:31] <Pelo> well sell
[02:32] <d4rkmonkey> I'm not sure. I might go with another HP model, just research it first.
[02:32] <bruenig> my hp worked out of the box
[02:32] <d4rkmonkey> My bro's HP works too
[02:32] <ponicg> My thinkpad t60p was pretty good
[02:32] <bruenig> granted I made sure of that before I bought it
[02:32] <ponicg> stupid ATI drivers, but shrug
[02:32] <tds5016> bruenig, yeah, not only gthat I'd be more likely to see where it fails.
[02:32] <ponicg> what system do you have bruenig
[02:32] <d4rkmonkey> I'm just gonna reasearch it first ;)
[02:32] <Pelo> !hardware | d4rkmonkey  bookmark this
[02:32] <ubotu> d4rkmonkey  bookmark this: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[02:32] <tds5016> I don't know what there isn't an error if it fails with archive manager.
[02:32] <tds5016> I need to grab the source code and see if I can fix it.
[02:33] <unagi_> how do u revert a conf to its originalt state
[02:33] <Marc1> d4rkmonkey: a lot depends on the hp model.  My nc6400 laptop runs ubuntu well.  including the mmc card reader
[02:33] <bruenig> ponicg, hp dv6000t nvidia geforce go 7400, ipw3945 for wireless, and core duo
[02:33] <Pelo> unagi_,  look for the backup file,
[02:33] <bruenig> ponicg, ipw3945 is a good thing to look for
[02:33] <bruenig> that was the reason I went with that one
[02:34] <ponicg> bruenig, I have ipw3945.
[02:34] <bruenig> awesome
[02:34] <unagi_> what about before that
[02:34] <ponicg> bruenig, I have a T60p... 15" 16x12 screen, ipw3945, ati firegl v5200(bleh)
[02:34] <ponicg> that's the only reason i dont like this machine
[02:34] <ponicg> the firegl v5200
[02:34] <unagi_> the backup isnt what id like either
[02:34] <Pelo> unagi_, it would help to know what you changed
[02:34] <Spud__> Is it possible to upgrade from 64bit Feisty Fawn to 64bit Gutsy Gibbon without wiping out all my settings and stuff?
[02:34] <unagi_> wvdial.conf
[02:35] <Pelo> later folks
[02:35] <cables> How do I find what package a specific file is from?
[02:36] <ponicg> unagi_, What are you trying to do?
[02:36] <Flannel> Spud__: yes, normal upgrades.  Except, Gutsy is still alpha.
[02:36] <bruenig> cables, apt-file
[02:36] <cables> bruenig, thanks
[02:36] <ponicg> Is there a way to snapshot every setting on my machine before I do a dist-upgrade?
[02:36] <unagi_> connect to the internet with my cell phone
[02:36] <Lunar_Lamp> I think my pc's BIOS is detecting 1gb of ram, but ubuntu is only detecting 512 - I have just upgraded from a single stick of 256 to two sticks of 512.  Why would this happen? I've tried both sticks in several combos, but only 512 ever gets recognised.
[02:37] <ponicg> Yeah, unagi_ , I did that with my ppc6700. it worked pretty well
[02:37] <unagi_> im not having any luck
[02:37] <ponicg> Lunar_Lamp, only by ubuntu or also by the bios?
[02:37] <unagi_> though im closer now
[02:37] <bruenig> cables, or if you have it installed, I know there is some text file somewhere in /var that has all the files listed, so you could grep for it
[02:37] <ponicg> unagi_, I didn't either... then it just worked. no config change either.
[02:37] <cables> bruenig, the problem is that it's not installed... I'm trying to compile Audacity but it wants wx-config
[02:37] <Lunar_Lamp> ponicg, the BIOS detects 1gb
[02:37] <bruenig> cables, yeah apt-file then
[02:37] <ponicg> Lunar_Lamp, What video card do you have?
[02:37] <bruenig> cables, the bot has apt-file ability, you can do !find file
[02:38] <cables> !find wx-config
[02:38] <ubotu> Package/file wx-config does not exist in feisty
[02:38] <cables> DAMN
[02:38] <Lunar_Lamp> ponicg, what's that got to do with it? Radeon 9200 I think.
[02:38] <bruenig> wx config is a path
[02:38] <bruenig> /usr/lib/wx/config
[02:38] <bruenig> or somethingn like that
[02:38] <cables> bruenig, ok, so should I symlink it?
[02:38] <ponicg> Lunar_Lamp, Hmm - it's not onboard is it? cause it might be doing shared memory...
[02:38] <bruenig> I had to include that when I built vlc
[02:38] <cables> bruenig, it said it didn't find wx-config in my path so I'll create a symlink somewhere in my path to it.
[02:38] <bruenig> cables, I think that is the path, not completely sure
[02:39] <cables> bruenig, i'll check
[02:39] <bruenig> cables, you should be able to do --with-wx-config=
[02:39] <Lunar_Lamp> ponicg, gah, yes, it is onboard, completly forgot I didn't put the 9200 in yet - but sharing 512mb?! Why?
[02:39] <cables> bruenig, ./configure --stuff?
[02:39] <bruenig> cables, yeah, check ./configure --help, vlc at least had a --with-wx-config= option which allowed me to do that
[02:39] <ponicg> Lunar_Lamp, Because it's stupid, likely:)
[02:39] <cables> bruenig, k
[02:40] <chohmann> join /#eclipse
[02:40] <Lunar_Lamp> ponicg, lol, ok, I'll try with a gfx card in - hope this works :-)
[02:40] <cables> bruenig, /usr/lib/wx/config doesn't exist
[02:40] <chohmann> whoops
[02:40] <ponicg> Lunar_Lamp, if not come back we'll get it fixed:)
[02:40] <bruenig> cables, wxgtk
[02:40] <unagi_> what do u use to dial up
[02:40] <bruenig> !info wxgtk
[02:40] <ubotu> Package wxgtk does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[02:40] <bruenig> hmmm
[02:40] <bruenig> that is what it is called in zenwalk
[02:41] <cables> bruenig, that's installed I think
[02:41] <cables> bruenig, there's a guide i found
[02:41] <bruenig> !find filepicker.h
[02:41] <ubotu> File filepicker.h found in wx2.8-headers
[02:41] <bruenig> there it is
[02:42] <cables> bruenig, i installed the headers package but it still wouldn't compile, I'll try with the ./configure --whatever option.
[02:42] <bruenig> cables, I used --with-wx-config=/usr/lib/wx/config
[02:43] <bruenig> iirc
[02:43] <cables> ok
[02:43] <ponicg> Is there a way to snapshot the config files on my machine before I do a dist-upgrade?
[02:43] <cables> bruenig, yeah, I was just going to scroll up :)
[02:43] <Flannel> !backup | ponicg
[02:43] <ubotu> ponicg: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[02:43] <ponicg> Flannel, I was being more specific - just the configuration files and not the actual binaries. No need to back up 4 gig of stock data:)
[02:43] <bruenig> ponicg, tar up /etc would probably do it
[02:44] <Flannel> ponicg: right.  To backup the config files, you'd backup everything in /etc
[02:44] <bruenig> ponicg, that would ignore the home directory config files
[02:44] <ponicg> Ahh
[02:44] <ponicg> well i can backup the /etc and /home/ dir
[02:44] <ponicg> lol
[02:44] <ponicg> that's easy enough
[02:44] <tds5016> what's the flag on ls to get file size?
[02:44] <Flannel> ponicg: that's really all you need.  Unless you're runnign some servers, but in that case, you'd know about them and know where to look to back them up
[02:44] <Lunar_Lamp> ponicg, nope - wasn't due to shared - with gfx card in still only 512 detected
[02:44] <bruenig> tds5016, ls -lh
[02:45] <tds5016> many thanks!
[02:45] <unagi_> finally i got it working
[02:45] <ponicg> Flannel, yup. thanks:)
[02:45] <unagi_> hah
[02:45] <ponicg> Lunar_Lamp, hmm. bios sees 512 or 1gb?
[02:45] <asher> hi!
[02:45] <tds5016> heh, I wonder how screwed a file will become if I tar it twice to make it smaller.
[02:45] <bruenig> not sure tarring something twice makes it smallr
[02:46] <bruenig> smaller*
[02:46] <ponicg> it shouldn't... LOL
[02:46] <fsckr> nope
[02:46] <bruenig> only reason to tar something twice is organization
[02:46] <asher> I need some help finding support
[02:46] <tds5016> hrm, maybe if  Izip the tar.
[02:46] <bruenig> tds5016, or you can do like deb does, tar it up and then create an ar archive
[02:46] <CZ1> Ovdje HR
[02:46] <fsckr> is there a program for ubuntu to convert .wavs to .mp3?
[02:46] <tds5016> what is ar?
[02:46] <bruenig> tds5016, man ar
[02:47] <ziroday> fsckr: sound converter (its in the repos)
[02:47] <PurpZeY> fsckr: mencoder
[02:47] <bruenig> ffmpeg
[02:47] <Flannel> tds5016: All you're doing is increasing the entropy, eventually youll have eight bits of entropy per byte, and then you'll only make it largerwith successive gzip.  tar, however, doesn't make things smaller, just merges files.
[02:47] <fsckr> k thx guys
[02:47] <Lunar_Lamp> ponicg, memtest done by bios shows ~1024mb ok
[02:47] <unagi_> how do u open rar files in linux
[02:47] <asher> How do I get rid of a single screen saver. I don't want to switch to X screensaver, I just wanna get rid of the one screen saver that crashes.
[02:47] <ponicg> Lunar_Lamp, that's odd.
[02:47] <PurpZeY> unagi_: You can tar user tar, or just double click and extract

[02:48] <bbk> how to enable 'universe' ?
[02:48] <Lunar_Lamp> asher, yes
[02:48] <Flannel> !universe | bbk
[02:48] <ubotu> bbk: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[02:48] <bbk> yes i can
[02:48] <ponicg> Hmm - NVS 140M is a new Nvidia graphics card. I can't find any info if it is support. Anyone got any ideas?
[02:48] <bruenig> bbk, should be enabled by default though
[02:48] <bipolar> Can I blacklist modules from the kernel line on boot?
[02:48] <bbk> o0 when im trying this sec
[02:49] <bbk> beryl-manager in the terminal
[02:49] <bbk> it shows me
[02:49] <Flannel> !enter | bbk
[02:49] <ubotu> bbk: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:49] <Lunar_Lamp> ponicg, memtest86 detects 1gb of fram, but ubuntu doesn't - is it perhaps a kernel issue? 512mb max of ram compiled in somehow?
[02:50] <bbk> Make sure you have the 'universe' component enabled
[02:50] <PurpZeY> bbk: Beryl manager says that/
[02:50] <PurpZeY> ?
[02:50] <bruenig> bbk, do this "grep deb.*universe /etc/apt/sources.list"
[02:50] <bbk> yes the terminal
[02:50] <ponicg> Lunar_Lamp, that's beyond my knowldge. sorry
[02:50] <PurpZeY> bbk: what are you trying to do?
[02:50] <bruenig> bbk, do this "grep ^deb.*universe /etc/apt/sources.list"
[02:50] <bruenig> bbk, sorry forgot the ^
[02:50] <bbk> and?
[02:50] <bbk> o0?
[02:51] <unagi_> is there a shortcut for the terminal;
[02:51] <asher> how do I add and remove screen savers in 7.04?
[02:51] <bruenig> bbk, if you do that second one and there is some output, then it is enabled
[02:51] <PurpZeY> bbk: what are you trying to do?
[02:51] <bbk> so where is the problem?
[02:51] <Lunar_Lamp> wtf
[02:51] <bbk> im trying to run beryl
[02:51] <Cidwel> hello
[02:52] <Cidwel> i have a trouble :S
[02:52] <PurpZeY> bbk: Have you installed beryl or are you trying to install it via apt-get?
[02:52] <Flannel> bbk: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:52] <bruenig> bbk, #ubuntu-effects
[02:52] <Flannel> !ask | Cidwel
[02:52] <ubotu> Cidwel: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:52] <Lunar_Lamp> ponicg, ok, magically, it's got 1gb somehow now - no idea how, but I'm happy.
[02:52] <PurpZeY> bruenig: I think he can't even get the package.
[02:52] <bbk> im using 7.04 and im trying to install via apt-get
[02:52] <asher> is there etiquette for the channel that I don't know?

[02:52] <adnan> server irc.freenode.org
[02:53] <asher> thanks
[02:53] <Flannel> tds5016: you have to go 6.10 to 7.04 to 7.10.  However, 7.10 isn't stable yet, so I'd recommedn against it.
[02:53] <bbk> Done , Done , Done
[02:53] <bbk> beryl is already the newest version.
[02:53] <bruenig> bbk, ok so it is installed
[02:53] <tds5016> I was trying to say 7.04 but was thinking of the next version.
[02:53] <PurpZeY> bbk: So, you already installed it.
[02:53] <bbk> Yes , how to run it?
[02:53] <Cidwel> when gnome launches, sometimes the system paralyzes and i can't do anything, simply the system crashes at all, where can i find a log in order to find the problem?
[02:53] <bruenig> bbk, beryl
[02:53] <bbk> I can see the setting's menu in the applications>system tools
[02:53] <bbk> but ..
[02:54] <PurpZeY> bbk: Type beryl
[02:54] <bbk> ok
[02:54] <Flannel> !upgrade | tds5016
[02:54] <ubotu> tds5016: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:54] <bbk> waa i thing it works now :P
[02:54] <PurpZeY> bkk: and beryl-manager applet should appear in your panel, a little diamond.
[02:54] <bruenig> there is no beryl manager applet
[02:54] <tds5016> Flannel, I was asking how well it worked, not how ;-)
[02:54] <unagi_> is there a shortcut for the terminal?
[02:54] <PurpZeY> bruenig: Whatever you call the little diamond in the panel
[02:54] <bruenig> unagi_, you can set terminal launching shortcut in system>preferences>keyboard shortcuts
[02:55] <Flannel> tds5016: ah.  Well, do you have any third party repositories?  Or have you used automatix?
[02:55] <bruenig> PurpZeY, oh the tray icon
[02:55] <PurpZeY> tds5016: I hear the way to do it is via CD.
[02:55] <bruenig> PurpZeY, if you just do "beryl" it doesn't show up
[02:55] <bruenig> PurpZeY, only if you do beryl-manager
[02:55] <tds5016> Flannel, hrm... I think I might have used one for beryl, and I used it for another, but I forget which.
[02:55] <PurpZeY> bruenig: Ahh...
[02:55] <tds5016> but never automix.
[02:56] <unagi_> are there settings for desktop effects?
[02:56] <Flannel> tds5016: You'll probably be fine then.  You'll want to disable them (comment them out) before the upgrade, and then reenable afterwards if you want them.
[02:56] <PurpZeY> unagi_: I don't think so.
[02:56] <unagi_> oh =(
[02:56] <Flannel> PurpZeY, tds5016, the CD only shortens the time of package downloading (well, you just download it separately)
[02:56] <bruenig> unagi_, not normally, if you get beryl there is, but in general you can change themes and whatnot but that is about it
[02:56] <ericrost> how do you all (or y'all in my g'old USA) feel about the FSF's GPLv3?
[02:56] <tds5016> Flannel, where's the repo conf again?
[02:56] <bruenig> !ot | ericrost
[02:56] <Flannel> ericrost: #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:56] <ubotu> ericrost: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:57] <Flannel> tds5016: /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:57] <unagi_> beryl crashes my pc
[02:57] <bruenig> unagi_, right so then the answer is no
[02:57] <tds5016> and also, Flannel if I don't comment the beryl repo, what will it do?
[02:57] <ericrost> what license is Ubuntu licensed under?
[02:57] <PurpZeY> Flannel: I don't know much about it, I've just heard some of the "higher ups" say that, that is a better way to do it.
[02:57] <bruenig> !ot | ericrost
[02:57] <PurpZeY> ericrost: cc I believe

[02:57] <unagi_> sigh
[02:57] <ProN00b> is there a gui/automatic way to regenerate /etc/fstab ?
[02:58] <unagi_> beryl is such a tease lol
[02:58] <bruenig> ProN00b, no
[02:58] <unagi_> it has such potential
[02:58] <ProN00b> there must be !!!
[02:58] <tds5016> I installed beryl, and don't use it that often because I have to develop in java, and it doesn't render swing.
[02:58] <bruenig> ProN00b, just create it yourself, it is really very simple
[02:58] <PurpZeY> tds5016: I like it, but it is absolutely nothing functional.
[02:59] <bruenig> it is functional
[02:59] <unagi_> anyone have any good icon sets for ubuntu?
[02:59] <bruenig> scale is functional
[02:59] <Flannel> tds5016: Um, I'm not too sure anymore.  Actually, I think update-manager takes care of it now-a-days.  It depends on the repos, sometimes they have edgy and feisty repos, sometimes just edgy (so you upgrade into a nonexistant feisty), and also depends on what you've installed from it.  But, I'm not really sure, having never done it.
[02:59] <bruenig> transparency is functional on occasion
[02:59] <younghacker> i'd like to know about icon sets as well

[03:00] <baikonur> I'm running 6.06 LTS and want to upgrade to 7.04. Do I have to update first to 6.10 in order to upgrade to 7.04 or can I go straight from 6.06 to 7.04?
[03:00] <kijjaz> When I change main Ubuntu Repository (that is in repository list in Synaptic), how do I get gpg key for a specific repository? I'm on Feisty.
[03:00] <tds5016> PurpZeY, I liked it for desktop managment, and also for scale.
[03:00] <Flannel> baikonur: you have to go through 6.10
[03:00] <unagi_> is ubuntu about to release another version?
[03:00] <kbrooks__> ok.
[03:00] <bruenig> unagi_, 4 months
[03:00] <kbrooks__> i want to reinstall ubuntu 7.04.
[03:01] <unagi_> whats it called
[03:01] <younghacker> where can i get icon sets from?
[03:01] <kbrooks__> can i? should i? :-)
[03:01] <baikonur> Flannel: why is that?
[03:01] <PurpZeY> I have scale enabled. . .Not sure what it does exactly, but, it's not important.

[03:01] <tds5016> sorry for the flood...
[03:01] <Flannel> baikonur: because that's the way it works.  You wouldn't have the proper transitional packages to go from dapper to feisty.
[03:02] <tds5016> which of those are the non-standard repos?
[03:02] <kijjaz> younghacker: Let's check out http://art.gnome.org and http://gnomelook.org .
[03:02] <Flannel> unagi_: 7.10 will be released in october
[03:02] <tds5016> or all of them are?
[03:02] <Flannel> tds5016: all of those are
[03:02] <younghacker> thanx at kijjaz
[03:02] <tds5016> thanks.
[03:02] <tds5016> I think that's all of them that are out of date repos.

[03:03] <theTrav> anyone know how I can figure out why eclipse keeps crashing on me?
[03:03] <tds5016> should I close everything because I start the upgrade manager upgrade process?
[03:04] <baikonur> Flannel: if I replace "dapper" in /etc/apt/sources.list with "feisty" and run apt-get dist-upgrade I will run into trouble?
[03:04] <Flannel> baikonur: yes
[03:04] <Lekrem> unagi_: gusty gibbon
[03:04] <tds5016> bai_Pecan, bad idea.
[03:05] <Flannel> baikonur: and ontop of that, update-manager (a GUI) will take care of it, so no command line required for upgrades.
[03:05] <tds5016> baikonur, bad idea to that way of upgrading.
[03:05] <tds5016> Flannel, when I run the upgrade should I close everything first?

[03:09] <bruenig> hrcerqueira, I have two brightnesses as of now, when it is plugged in and when it isn't
[03:09] <DjViper> Gearman: anyway, vlc is a better video player imho...
[03:09] <bruenig> vlc is not any better than mplayer
[03:09] <hrcerqueira> bruenig: yes i want it to be just like when is plugged off
[03:10] <bruenig> yeah plugged in is awful bright
[03:10] <Gearman> djviper i will check it out thanks

[03:10] <bruenig> not any easier to use
[03:10] <Pelo> eboyjr, look for it in synaptic, might be there already
[03:10] <DjViper> eboyjr: maybe there is a projectpage on sourceforge?
[03:10] <bruenig> in fact mplayer is far better than vlc when you consider its command line abilities
[03:10] <PurpZeY> hrcerqueira: I grabbed a script from the forum to deal with this, it was really easy to install

[03:12] <DjViper> eboyjr: okay, tried synaptic?
[03:12] <Flannel> tds5016: Are you using update-manager?

[03:17] <Jordan_U> !alternate | tds5016
[03:18] <ubotu> tds5016: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[03:18] <tds5016> Jordan_U, where's the download?
[03:18] <Serbian_BoY> aha
[03:18] <gnomefreak> Serbian_BoY: please speak english in this channel
[03:18] <Jordan_U> tds5016, Same place as the LiveCD, just check the box at the bottom of the page for the alternate
[03:19] <Stormx2> tds5016: You might as well just do a normal upgrade unless you have a burning desire to waste blank cds.
[03:19] <Knux> Djordje : well right now  I just had to restart, it froze on me in the install, couldn't do anything at al
[03:19] <Knux> Djordje : I'll be trying again
[03:19] <tds5016> Stormx2, I would love to if it didn't give me an error :-(
[03:19] <Djordje> Knux: ok
[03:19] <Stormx2> tds5016: What error?
[03:19] <tds5016> one second.
[03:19] <Jordan_U> tds5016, Be sure to use pastebin
[03:20] <Stormx2> Jordan_U: Unless it's short ;)
[03:20] <tds5016> it just fails to grab a repo.
[03:20] <bruenig> tds5016, the gzip thing right
[03:20] <tds5016> Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/source/Sources.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[03:20] <gnomefreak> tds5016: change the country code
[03:20] <Stormx2> tds5016: Switch mirror.
[03:20] <gnomefreak> tds5016: sometimes apt-get update will fix
[03:20] <tds5016> gnomefreak, how?
[03:20] <gnomefreak> tds5016: take the us out of it and add gb instead
[03:20] <taomaster> how do u change the root password?
[03:20] <Jordan_U> tds5016, System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[03:20] <Stormx2> !root | taomaster
[03:20] <bruenig> tds5016, sudo sed 's|/us|/ca|g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:20] <ubotu> taomaster: 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
[03:20] <CppIsWeird> im confused, i run a perl script that getstore()'s a file to where ever the script is running from (in this case my desktop) and the file wont appear unless i sudo it. how come?
[03:21] <Knux> Djordje : Is there any way to use the partitionner in 7 out from the install? I know in 6.06 boot you could
[03:21] <gnomefreak> tds5016: use bruenig way :)
[03:21] <Stormx2> What? Who the hell changed the factoid for root? It's awful.
[03:21] <PurpZeY> hrcerqueira: Good news: I found it...Bad news: It seems proprietary to sony and consequently it probably won't work for you, but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=88611&highlight=sony+laptop+brightness+power&page=4
[03:21] <Flannel> Stormx2: you probably want sudo
[03:21] <ponicg> Hmm - is Wubi any slower than a native install?
[03:22] <Stormx2> Flannel: Even so, i don't think people who genuinely need help would appreciate matrix references.
[03:22] <Jordan_U> Knux,  What do you mean? You can run Gparted from the liveCD and the installer has it's own GUI front end also
[03:22] <hrcerqueira> PurpZeY: thanks, maybe it will work, and i'll google for a while more
[03:22] <gnomefreak> Stormx2: bring it up in #ubuntu-ops if it bothers you that much
[03:22] <Djordje> Knux: yes.. but if you want just to partition the disk, it's better to download the gparted iso.. that is the program used in the ubuntu installer
[03:22] <hrcerqueira> PurpZeY: because i'm almost sure i once used a tool wher i could set the screen brightness
[03:22] <Flannel> Stormx2: hmm.  I agree.  Mention it in -ops
[03:22] <Stormx2> gnomefreak: Will do.
[03:22] <tds5016> Jordan_U, should I set it to use main server?
[03:23] <Serbian_BoY> oo picke
[03:23] <Jordan_U> tds5016, Sure

[03:23] <Pirate_Hunter> hi people I cant seem to access sudo - ig et the message "sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440"
[03:23] <smoenux> I cannot connect or copy files from Windows PC connected to my Ubuntu Box. Can someone please assists? This has been a error that's been going for quite a while, and I've been unable to solve it
[03:23] <gnomefreak> Serbian_BoY: if you are here to troll you need to find somewhere else
[03:24] <tds5016> where are the main servers anyhow?
[03:24] <Serbian_BoY> jedite govna:)
[03:24] <gnomefreak> tds5016: gb
[03:24] <tds5016> where is gb?
[03:24] <bruenig> tds5016, great britain
[03:24] <gnomefreak> great britin
[03:24] <Jordan_U> tds5016, Great Britain

[03:24] <Flannel> !mirrors | tds5016
[03:24] <ubotu> tds5016: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[03:24] <tds5016> oh snap... this will certainly take a while to download then, will it not?
[03:24] <Jordan_U> tds5016, Yes
[03:24] <bruenig> tds5016, yeah, it has to go across the freaking ocean
[03:24] <Flannel> Pirate_Hunter: reboot into single user mode and fix the permissions
[03:25] <tds5016> It was going to anyhow... but why won't the us servers work that it fails to do an upgrade?
[03:25] <Flannel> Pirate_Hunter: did you do something silly?  like chmod +w recursively?
[03:25] <bruenig> tds5016, that error happens from time to time, I am not sure what the deal is exactly
[03:26] <tds5016> bruenig, so if I switch to the gb servers it will wokr?
[03:26] <tds5016> there is no way to use us servers after that error?
[03:26] <gnomefreak> tds5016: gb is working atm
[03:26] <bruenig> tds5016, do the command I gave you before
[03:26] <bruenig> tds5016, it will switch you to canada
[03:26] <gnomefreak> tds5016: us servers are not very reliable
[03:26] <jericho> can anyone recommend a USB wifi adapter that will work with feisty?
[03:26] <Pirate_Hunter> Flannel: cna you be more specific i ahve rebooted 3 times and no go, i dont no what yu mean - rememba newb and no I put a command in /etc/sudoers/ for firestartr to start without password but i think it was also the script i used to access nautilus
[03:26] <PurpZeY> !hardware | jericho
[03:26] <bruenig> maybe you can apt-get install universal-healthcare
[03:26] <ubotu> jericho: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:26] <jericho> ty
[03:27] <PurpZeY> bruenig: hehe.
[03:27] <tds5016> gnomefreak, bruenig I just unfortunately started the ugrade like a numbskull without changing ot canada.
[03:27] <Serbian_BoY> pickee
[03:27] <Serbian_BoY> sta radite
[03:27] <gnomefreak> tds5016: doesnt matter
[03:27] <matthew2> how do I run fsck?  I am on a livecd and want to run my partition /dev/sda3.  but if I type 'fsck sda3' nothing happens.
[03:27] <Serbian_BoY> pickice
[03:27] <bruenig> funny
[03:27] <tds5016> bruenig, thanks for the help you offered with canada thouhg :-/. I guess I'm just going to have to wait a week for the download to finish.
[03:27] <tds5016> ahah.
[03:27] <Hizzeh> Hey guys
[03:27] <Flannel> Pirate_Hunter: reboot, at your GRUB menu, select "recovery console", then when you get there, `chmod 440 /etc/sudoers`, then reboot and you'll be good.
[03:27] <tds5016> haha! That's what I get for being impatient.
[03:27] <CppIsWeird> im confused, i run a perl script that getstore()'s a file to where ever the script is running from (in this case my desktop) and the file wont appear unless i sudo it. how come?
[03:28] <bruenig> tds5016, you can kill it and start over probably, especially if all it has done is started downloading stuff
[03:28] <Hizzeh> So i've been wanting to get into a linux distro for a long time, but I'm having a problem isntalling the live CD. It freezes before I can view the OS when it loads onto my memory
[03:28] <Jordan_U> matthew2, sudo fsck /dev/sda3
[03:28] <thepumpkin> how can i Upgrate to gutsy?
[03:28] <Hizzeh> I was wondering what may be happening?
[03:28] <thepumpkin> i'm in feisty
[03:28] <tds5016> bruenig, Whats the command for the canada sservers?
[03:28] <Pirate_Hunter> kk will try
[03:28] <PurpZeY> CppIsWeird: Depending on where you are putting it, the file won't write without permissions
[03:28] <Flannel> !gutsy | thepumpkin
[03:28] <bruenig> thepumpkin, gutsy is in alpha right now, but go to #ubuntu+1 if you want to
[03:28] <ubotu> thepumpkin: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10). See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000276.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule - Roadmap and specifications: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy - Support in #ubuntu+1
[03:28] <PurpZeY> thepumpkin: Gusty isn't stable, or supported yet.
[03:28] <tds5016> er canadia as it were... ;-)
[03:28] <matthew2> Jordan_U:  that's what I do, but it just says '/dev/sda3: clean, 187441/6406144 files, 1749598/12799080 blocks'
[03:28] <bruenig> tds5016, sudo sed 's|/us|/ca|g' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:28] <matthew2> instantly, without doing anything.
[03:28] <thepumpkin> I KNOW. BUT I NEED IT.
[03:29] <PurpZeY> !caps
[03:29] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[03:29] <gnomefreak> thepumpkin: lose the caps and join #ubuntu+1
[03:29] <gnomefreak> thepumpkin: read topic in that channel
[03:29] <tds5016> bruenig, that command will still work after I've already switched to gb?
[03:29] <thepumpkin> Sorry.
[03:29] <thepumpkin> :S
[03:29] <thepumpkin> thanks.
[03:29] <bruenig> tds5016, oh no, change /us to /gb
[03:29] <Jordan_U> thepumpkin, If you don't know how to then you probably shouldn't be using it... Why do you "need" it anyways?
[03:29] <tds5016> works for me ;-). I thought that's what sed did.
[03:30] <PurpZeY> Jordan_U: Always asking the practical question.
[03:30] <mroc> can anyone tell me how to configure DAAP in amarok?
[03:30] <ProN00b> since i unmounted and resized one of my fat32 disks it doesn't show up on the desktop anymore, even when mounted manually, how do i get it to show up again ?
[03:30] <ProN00b> (and get automounted
[03:30] <matthew2> how do you run fsck?  my computer has been shutting down improperly so i loaded a livecd to run fsck, but it's not doing anything.
[03:30] <PurpZeY> ProN00b: How are you mounting it?
[03:31] <larry> hi
[03:31] <bruenig> ProN00b, drives only show up on the desktop when they are mounted automatically through hal
[03:31] <TaJMoX> un-mount the partition you want to fsck first
[03:31] <larry> laters
[03:31] <thepumpkin> the thing is Jordan_U that i run : sudo update-manager -c -d and "warning: could not initiate dbus
[03:31] <thepumpkin> current dist not found in meta-release file
[03:31] <thepumpkin> "
[03:31] <ProN00b> PurpZeY, mount /dev/hdd1
[03:31] <gnomefreak> thepumpkin: not in here
[03:31] <matthew2> TajMox:  it is unmounted, that's why i loaded the livecd.
[03:31] <ProN00b> bruenig, how do i get hal to automatically mount it ?
[03:31] <Hobbsee> hi kkathman!
[03:31] <bruenig> ProN00b, don't know hal confuses me
[03:31] <bruenig> I have tried to figure it out but haven't yet
[03:32] <cyphase> Is there any reason that CUPS couldn't auto configure printers when they're connected, instead of having to go through a wizard (albeit a short one).
[03:32] <TaJMoX> matthew - go into terminal and type sudo e2fsck /dev/hdax   (or whatever your device name is)
[03:32] <tds5016> that's much faster. thank you bruenig
[03:32] <CppIsWeird> PurpZeY, i dont understand how permissions are a problem if im executeing it from xterm as me, and the script is on my desktop, which is in my userspace.
[03:32] <PurpZeY> CppIsWeird: Where are you sending the files to?
[03:32] <bruenig> cyphase, I suppose it could seeing as it autodetects drivers and stuff for a lot of printers like hp but on occasion it might misdetect or might not detect anything at all and then you are left without knowing what happened
[03:32] <matthew2> TajMox:  does the same thing.  says this INSTANTLY without doing anything: '/dev/sda3: clean, 187441/6406144 files, 1749598/12799080 blocks'
[03:33] <PurpZeY> CppIsWeird: Plus, and here I am over-stepping my knowledge a little, if the script looks to change something elsewhere...you know, sudo is needed.
[03:33] <Jordan_U> thepumpkin, 1: Why do you "need" Gutsy 2: #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy
[03:33] <tntcoda> how can i get berkeley db installed? it isnt showing up in synaptic
[03:33] <CppIsWeird> PurpZeY, what do you mean? im not sending them anywhere, the script writes the file it gets where ever the scripts executeing directory is.
[03:33] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, is it executable
[03:33] <thepumpkin> Jordan_U: test software. this is a test machine.
[03:33] <PurpZeY> CppIsWeird: bruenig is smart.
[03:33] <hajhouse> is there another package besides ubuntu-keyring that provides extra archive-signing keys? i find it hard to believe that there are so many untrusted packages in feisty/main.
[03:33] <TaJMoX> matthew2: Trust that it's clean.   you're probably using ext3 which knows by journaling magic.   If you want to force it use the -f option
[03:34] <PurpZeY> thepumpkin: Why do you have to test software in gutsy as opposed to feisty?
[03:34] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, erm? i have no idea why that would matter? the script is being run via perl, so wouldent technically perl be running the script and writing files?
[03:34] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, oh I didn't know it was a perl script
[03:34] <matthew2> TajMox:  It's not clean, otherwise it wouldn't have hung on shutdown 3 of the last 4 times.
[03:34] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, ah, sorry.
[03:34] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, so you do what perl script.pl
[03:34] <bruenig> and it says what
[03:34] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, yeah
[03:34] <TaJMoX> matthew2: maybe it's pausing like the for other reasons than your filesystem is dirty.    but try with the -f option
[03:35] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, it doesnt say anything, it just runs. when sudo perl script.pl the file appears on my desktop, without sudo it does not.
[03:35] <thepumpkin> PurpZeY: I need this package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libdevel/libavutil-dev
[03:35] <pipegeek> Hi, folks.  Has anyone here ever grepped through their disk for any reason?  Because for me, grep is running out of memory
[03:35] <thepumpkin> is there another way to install it in feisty?
[03:35] <thepumpkin> without compiling it?
[03:35] <gnomefreak> thepumpkin: no
[03:35] <jericho> ok... i check the hardware list. anything list that says it works out of the box shouldn't need an active internet connection to install... correct?
[03:35] <pipegeek> as in, "grep: /dev/hdc: Cannot allocate memory"
[03:35] <matthew2> TajMox:  ok, i will try to fource, but it's definitely not merely "pausing", as I've left it running for hours without it ever shutting down.
[03:35] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, this is my first linux program, so i really dont have much of an idea about these things.
[03:36] <pipegeek> thing has 2 gigs free
[03:36] <pipegeek> and I'm losing it
[03:36] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, odd, unless there is some test in the script to see what user you are then it shouldn't matter
[03:36] <thepumpkin> gnomefreak: I will try compile it.
[03:36] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, there is not. it uses a simple getstore() function.
[03:36] <hajhouse> !apt-key
[03:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-key - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:36] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, would you like the script? I could paste it somewhere
[03:36] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, well make sure you won Desktop and that it has 755 permissions
[03:36] <bruenig> you own*
[03:37] <nivekc1> is ubuntu the best distro of linux? or should i check out another one
[03:37] <bruenig> !best | nivekc1
[03:37] <ubotu> nivekc1: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[03:37] <PurpZeY> !best | nivekc1
[03:37] <bruenig> pwnt
[03:37] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, if i can right click and create a file on my desktop, should not i have the ability for a program to do so as well?
[03:37] <PurpZeY> hehehe
[03:37] <TaJMoX> matthew2: next time shut down the Xorg server completely and try shutting down with shutdown -r now    and when it pauses go into a different terminal (using ctrl+alt+f2) and try viewing the logs like dmesg or cat /var/syslog or Xorg.0.log
[03:37] <CppIsWeird> nivekc1, yes.
[03:37] <thepumpkin> thanks.
[03:38] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, yeah you should, do ls -l ~
[03:38] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, and paste the desktop line
[03:38] <nivekc1> well thus far i love ubuntu! i was just making sure i was getting everything linux has to offer
[03:38] <bruenig> Desktop*
[03:38] <nivekc1> i have actually stopped using windows all together
[03:38] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, drwxr-xr-x
[03:38] <bruenig> nivekc1, I use arch, I like rolling release, never have to worry about big upgrades that sometimes break which the discrete release cycle of ubuntu is prone to do
[03:38] <newtubuntu> I have a GeForce nVidia, with 1Gb of RAM, and it seems like my system has a hard time with effects (compiz). Lots of black windows, freezes, etc. Anything I can do about it ?
[03:39] <PurpZeY> nivekc1: That line is the real truth. . .All flavors do something a little different...Most of them are based on the same "meat" it's the flavoring that is different.....mostly.
[03:39] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, not sure then, maybe #perl will know
[03:39] <bruenig> newtubuntu, #ubuntu-effects
[03:39] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, yeah, their dead or ... meowing... (... dont ask.)
[03:39] <PurpZeY> newtubuntu: I'd ask in #ubuntu-effects or #beryl
[03:40] <newtubuntu> is the a #compiz channel ?
[03:40] <bruenig> newtubuntu, probably
[03:40] <PurpZeY> newtubuntu: #beryl
[03:40] <nivekc1> is compiz fusion out yet?
[03:40] <PurpZeY> nivekc1: It's in beta and not stable
[03:40] <bruenig> nivekc1, alpha or beta stuff probably
[03:40] <PurpZeY> nivekc1: I've seen AT LEAST 3 people come in and say they are having issues with it
[03:41] <Nitrogen> bollocks
[03:41] <hajhouse> nivekc1: you might want to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_distributions. Ubuntu is a modern general-purpose distribution that offers everything normally expected in a distro...so unless your needs are very specialized, i'd say you are getting everything linux has to offer by using the latest ubuntu
[03:41] <gnomefreak> PurpZeY: more than that (almost everyone)
[03:41] <PurpZeY> gnomefreak: That was my impression, but I don't want to exagerate.
[03:42] <bruenig> wireless is also unstable because I have seen 1000000 come in here with problems
[03:42] <PurpZeY> bruenig: Yeah, but that is on ubuntu's side in terms of not supporting hardware.
[03:42] <bruenig> yeah I know
[03:42] <PurpZeY> or being inefficient in dealing with it
[03:43] <bruenig> this channel is basically wireless and redirects to #ubuntu-effects

[03:46] <momo> hello everybody
[03:46] <Invisionfree> Hi, I have an external monitor connected, and my Live CD is displaying on that. How can I make it display on normal monitor?
[03:46] <TaJMoX> momo : close your ears quick
[03:46] <PurpZeY> bruenig: Long and short of it....If you want to go to law school, all it takes is hardwork. If you can do A LOT of work, you can do it... /offtopic
[03:46] <bruenig> I don't worry about the work
[03:47] <momo> TajMox : okay ^
[03:47] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: Normal monitor being laptop monitor?
[03:47] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: Yep
[03:47] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: Easy way would be to disconnect the monitor, no?\
[03:47] <d4rkmonkey> Hi, does anyone know a good way to find out if a laptop will work well with Feisty? (more specific than google)
[03:47] <Invisionfree> I did. It didn;t work
[03:47] <PurpZeY> !hardware | d4rkmonkey
[03:47] <ubotu> d4rkmonkey: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:47] <eboyjr> What is the equivalent of Alt+NUM in Ubuntu? In Windows, Alt+168 makes an upside-down question mark. Alt+97 = lowercase a
[03:47] <d4rkmonkey> Tahnks
[03:47] <d4rkmonkey> *thanks
[03:48] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: Did you catch that? It didn't work
[03:48] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: It's gotta be somewhere in System, not sure where....
[03:48] <Nitrogen> why si everyones ip visible?
[03:49] <ChatUser> hi everyone!
[03:49] <dominicus> Question: cause we have nothing to hide
[03:49] <momo> is there a program like super copier for ubuntu
[03:49] <momo> ?
[03:49] <dominicus> nm that questino part
[03:49] <Nitrogen> right
[03:49] <PurpZeY> Super copier?
[03:49] <bruenig> momo, what does that do
[03:49] <Nitrogen> im off then
[03:49] <Nitrogen> lol
[03:49] <momo> it's a program for windows
[03:49] <dade> Beryl was working fine and now when I enable desktop effects all my windows wont show themes or move really.... what happened how can I fix this I want my movable wobbly windows back...
[03:49] <bruenig> momo, which does...
[03:49] <PurpZeY> momo: Yes, but what does it do?
[03:49] <momo> that accelerate copying files
[03:49] <dade> ?
[03:49] <bruenig> momo, how
[03:49] <sxjizaios> What sound card should I buy? I mostly listen to music, and want good music listening with Linux support and at a reasonable price.
[03:49] <PurpZeY> dade: #ubuntu-effects or #beryl
[03:49] <momo> i dunno how
[03:49] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: I can't find it
[03:50] <momo> but copying speed increases to 30Mb/s
[03:50] <bruenig> momo, I don't see how that is possible. or if it were why it wasn't built into the kernel
[03:50] <ChatUser> hey, I installed ubuntu on my harddrive using one of my computers and dropped the harddrive into a different computer... I think I need to update all the drivers ethernet/video for sure... is there an easy way to do that?
[03:50] <bruenig> or filesystem
[03:50] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: I honestly don't know, let me see if I can find out.
[03:51] <Invisionfree> Ok, thanks
[03:51] <Invisionfree> !external
[03:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about external - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:51] <bruenig> momo, copying stuff using ext3 is pretty quick as often times it can just mess with the inodes whatever that means
[03:51] <Invisionfree> Errr
[03:51] <ProN00b> how do i change the diskname (windows disk name) of a vfat partition ?
[03:51] <bruenig> ProN00b, like C:
[03:51] <bruenig> ?
[03:51] <ProN00b> bruenig, no, on windows you could assign free names to partitions
[03:51] <ProN00b> 11 letter long
[03:51] <momo> i want it because i've problems to copy files from a DVD
[03:52] <bruenig> ProN00b, oh, you can't do that on linux
[03:52] <momo> i burnt it a long ago
[03:52] <`eboyjr> What is the equivalent of Alt+NUM in Ubuntu? In Windows, Alt+168 makes an upside-down question mark. Alt+97 = lowercase a
[03:52] <Invisionfree> bruenig: Any idea where external monitor management would be found?
[03:52] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: I am looking into it on the forums and in effects.
[03:52] <bruenig> `eboyjr, goot question, there is a character map but I am not sure there are alt characters
[03:52] <bruenig> Invisionfree, no
[03:52] <ProN00b> bruenig, but they stayed when i changed to linux, this one disk here still has that name on the desktop, but the other one lost it when i resized it
[03:52] <bruenig> `eboyjr, character map is in applications>accessories I believe
[03:52] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: I am told there should be a fn+key combination
[03:53] <Invisionfree> Hmmz0r
[03:53] <dominicus> Do I need the smbclient to share files with WinXP or are Samba and Samba-common packages sufficient?
[03:53] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: Thanks
[03:53] <Invisionfree> I totally forgot about it.
[03:53] <bruenig> Invisionfree, yeah FN + f8 on mine at least but it doesn't work here
[03:53] <Invisionfree> Mines FN+F5
[03:53] <PurpZeY> bruenig: I have a sony, my FN keys are absolutely functionless except for pause and break
[03:54] <gdb> dominicus: You do not need the client to share files.  smbclient is to allow your Linux system to access other smb servers.
[03:54] <mon^rch> i just discovered what the middle mouse button does if you're running beryl :P
[03:54] <mon^rch> neato
[03:54] <dominicus> gdb: thanks
[03:54] <bruenig> PurpZeY, my thing just doesn't see the FN
[03:54] <bruenig> PurpZeY, like I can't even assign FN to a special keyboard shortcut or something
[03:54] <bruenig> it comes up blank
[03:54] <chrisjs169> for some reason,  /dev/dsp is almost always busy - 'cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp' returns 'Device or resource busy'
[03:54] <Invisionfree> Ok..Now how do I change the resolution. It's all like, big...And the Screen Resolution thing in System only has one size..
[03:54] <PurpZeY> bruenig: I *think* I could do that, but I can't get it to control volume or brightness or anything like that
[03:55] <d4rkmonkey> Hey, I just needed to ask something, Does anyone know what System 76 laptops are like?
[03:55] <`eboyjr> bruenig: Capital A is U+0041, but no ALT or anything.
[03:55] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: I haven't heard much.
[03:55] <ProN00b> anyone got any idea how to change the diskname of a vfat partition ? (on making a new one it works with mkfs.vfat -n name)
[03:55] <bruenig> `eboyjr, don't think so
[03:55] <Invisionfree> ProN00b: You can't I don't think..
[03:55] <ProN00b> Invisionfree, you can, you could on windows
[03:56] <Invisionfree> ProN00b: And we aren't windows.
[03:56] <puff> Evening.  I am attempting to flash dd-wrt onto a buffalo whr-g125 router.  To do this, I need to disable wireless and set my address to a static IP on the buffalo router's LAN.  "sudo ifdown eth1" gives me "ifdown:  eth1 not configured", but iwconfig shows me as currently on wireless via eth1.
[03:56] <chrisjs169> suggestions for the /dev/dsp problem?
[03:56] <bruenig> PurpZeY, I still use some of the FN keys for their purpose I just instead assign it as windows key + f# instead of FN + f#
[03:56] <d4rkmonkey> I was having some problems with my HP I just got and was thinking of returning it, to get a comp which is compatible with Feisty, but I don't know if I want another HP or if I want to get a System 76
[03:56] <bruenig> PurpZeY, like you can use the volume thing if you wanted
[03:56] <Invisionfree> How do I change the Screen Resolution...It's too big...
[03:56] <PurpZeY> bruenig: How? Also, the important one is the brightness and since that involves acpi I think it'd be tougher...but how do you set it up for volume?
[03:57] <ProN00b> Invisionfree, but "you" support vfat
[03:57] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: I just don't know anything about them....why not get a dell with ubuntu preload?
[03:57] <d4rkmonkey> Because I heard those were only available in America
[03:57] <d4rkmonkey> I live in Canada

[03:57] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: That makes sense.
[03:58] <d4rkmonkey> ")
[03:58] <d4rkmonkey> *:)
[03:58] <bruenig> PurpZeY, aumix -v+# or aumix -v-#
[03:58] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: I haven't heard anything bad or good about the system 76...Personally, I'd just look into getting a good laptop with supported hardware, but that's just my opinion.
[03:58] <bruenig> PurpZeY, the number is the percentage jump
[03:58] <PurpZeY> bruenig: And assign the key via system-admin?
[03:58] <bruenig> PurpZeY, then just shortcut those commands
[03:58] <dominicus> Are samba shares shared folders on the XP or the Ubuntu box?
[03:59] <d4rkmonkey> ok, I think I'm going to look into more HP then...
[03:59] <bruenig> PurpZeY, I am not sure how to do it on gnome, when I used gnome I used xbindkeys to do things like that, on xfce they have it built in where you can assign keys to commands
[03:59] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: I get this: * Stopping GNOME Display Manager...                                 [ ok ] 
[03:59] <Invisionfree>  * Starting GNOME Display Manager...                                 [fail] 
[03:59] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: That definitely sounds like a xorg type error.
[03:59] <bruenig> PurpZeY, like on mine I have aumix -v+10 assigned to windows + f8

[04:00] <Invisionfree> I ran that command and it gave me that message, I'm checking the link now..
[04:00] <PurpZeY> bruenig: Any idea how I might take a stab at brightness that way? like..instead of aumix, brightness or something like that.
[04:00] <mboso> i'm exporting a file system over nfs as rw, and mounting it rw, but when I try to rite to that directory after mounting it says its read only. what am i missing?
[04:00] <`eboyjr> bruenig: haha well that's a bummer, since on Windows, I make this cool face : <@@>, but there's no quick way to do it on here.
[04:00] <bruenig> PurpZeY, that is an acpi thing I am sure, I have tried for a long time to figure it out but nothing
[04:00] <bruenig> `eboyjr, true loss indeed
[04:01] <PurpZeY> bruenig: I am not dissatisfied with the way I have it setup atm...I got this script, when I pop my power cable, monitor dims, when I pop it back monitor brightens. . .

[04:01] <dade> what is the effects rooms name, for probs with beryl?
[04:01] <PurpZeY> bruenig: Apparently there is a way to modprobe the sony acpi and then set it up so the buttons work, but it's just not worth the effort when it works how I want it to
[04:01] <bruenig> PurpZeY, yeah mine does too, luckily I have about 4 hour battery life so I rarely need to plug it in
[04:01] <PurpZeY> dade: #ubuntu-effects
[04:02] <dade> thx again
[04:02] <non|inear> can anyone suggest a free replacement for acronis true image?
[04:02] <bruenig> PurpZeY, it depends on the laptop really, there is like some asus laptop modules that work for it I believe
[04:02] <bruenig> but nothing for my hp
[04:02] <enviouz> i added a second hard disk and used gparted to partition it. however i cant put anything on it as it says only root has permission. any way to fix this?
[04:02] <chrisjs169> suggestions for the /dev/dsp problem?
[04:03] <PurpZeY> bruenig: This laptop gets about 3 hours or less...depending on what i am doing..but I don't have cpu scaling turned down or anything...I work in offices or classrooms, places with plugs.
[04:03] <nivekc1> anyone know of a web editing program similar to frontpage for ubuntu?
[04:03] <preaction> !html | nivekc1
[04:03] <ubotu> nivekc1: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build webpages. Editors in Ubuntu: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem, and Nvu. For howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com
[04:03] <non|inear> or, can anyone dcc me snapapi26_modules-0.7.x?  ;P
[04:04] <Kaitlyn2004> if I am running a command and want to output to a file, is there any way I can make it go to TIMESTAMP.ext, or MONTH-DAY.ext, or something?
[04:04] <enviouz> any ideas anyone?
[04:04] <SoulinEther> this is so sad... i installed vanilla kde. how do i change the resolution? what program is a gui frontend, or what command can i type into the terminal?
[04:04] <nivekc1> im looking for one that doesnt require any code just a point n click thing like frontpage or expression web
[04:04] <PurpZeY> enviouz: I think you have to mount it as root.
[04:04] <sn-> nivekc1 tried nvu ?
[04:05] <PurpZeY> or use sudo
[04:05] <bruenig> nivekc1, nvu but never used it
[04:05] <Flannel> nivekc1: right.  Check out those programs.
[04:05] <PurpZeY> something like that
[04:05] <preaction> nivekc1: ubotu gave you 4 of them
[04:05] <enviouz> ok ty
[04:05] <PurpZeY> Sounds like something bruenig *might* kno
[04:05] <preaction> nivekc1: i hear bluefish is nice
[04:05] <bruenig> what is that
[04:05] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: That didn't work :(
[04:05] <nivekc1> ive tried all of those they still require code they just have shotcut buttons
[04:06] <bruenig> nivekc1, nvu doesn't require code, I have tinkered with it before to edit a webpage before I printed it
[04:06] <`eboyjr> What is the Gr key? : http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Accented_Characters
[04:06] <nivekc1> oh ok
[04:06] <PurpZeY> bruenig: He just put in a new harddrive, and partitioned it, but he can't add files b/c it says root is required....enviouz
[04:06] <nivekc1> well i have blue fish and quanta plus
[04:06] <yurimxpxman> do any of you know of a good P2P channel/server for IRC?
[04:06] <nivekc1> ill try nvu thanks
[04:07] <Flannel> `eboyjr: Alt-GR is usually the right alt key
[04:07] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: You can try dpkg.
[04:07] <enviouz> what happen is i installed it then used gparted to partition it. then mounted it to /media/cdrive. but it wont let me do anything with it
[04:08] <bruenig> enviouz, how are you mounting it
[04:09] <nivekc1> where in the world do i get nvu its not in synaptic or add/remove
[04:09] <defcon> I installed ubuntu before I installed vista, I have ubuntu on /dev/sda1 and vista on /dev/sda2, I need to know how to add vista to the grub menu editing menu.lst and hd0,1 does not seem to work, any suggestions/tips/solutions would be greatly appreciated.
[04:09] <kbrooks__> yurimxpxman, no. and it is illegal to tell you.
[04:09] <enviouz> i hit mount in gparted after partitioning it
[04:09] <PurpZeY> defcon: Vista eats ubuntu, generally speaking
[04:09] <bruenig> nivekc1, close all that nonsense, sudo apt-get install nvu
[04:09] <defcon> PurpZeY, clarify?
[04:09] <defcon> workaround?
[04:09] <puff> How do I disable my wireless?
[04:10] <yurimxpxman> kbrooks__: lol.. it's only illegal to download copyrighted material
[04:10] <PurpZeY> defcon: Everyone I have seen has a problem with vista and ubuntu.
[04:10] <nivekc1> couldnt find package nvu
[04:10] <kbrooks__> yurimxpxman, well, you dont believe me eh, well it is illegal to link to a source of copyrighted material.
[04:10] <nivekc1> vista sucks
[04:11] <kbrooks__> yurimxpxman, ok ok not being serious.
[04:11] <`eboyjr> nivekc1: you serious?
[04:11] <bruenig> !info nvu
[04:11] <ubotu> Package nvu does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:11] <bruenig> oh no
[04:11] <bruenig> !find nvu
[04:11] <ubotu> Package/file nvu does not exist in feisty
[04:11] <yurimxpxman> kbrooks__: I didn't ask for a link to any copyrighted material. Just a place to share files. What I'm looking for in particular isn't even copyrighted :-P
[04:11] <bruenig> did nvu get a name change?.
[04:12] <Flannel> bruenig: nvu was taken out of Feisty because it hasn't been developed in a few years.  Check out Kompozer, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kompozer
[04:12] <nivekc1> eoyjr: serious about what?
[04:12] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: I got it now, thanks :)
[04:12] <bruenig> nivekc1, check out kompozer says Flannel
[04:12] <Invisionfree> Now, how can I reformat my HDD to install Ubuntu?
[04:12] <`eboyjr> nivekc1: you hating vista
[04:12] <kbrooks__> nvu was taken out of Feisty because it hasn't been developed in a few years # really?
[04:12] <kramertron> bango
[04:12] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: How'd you get it to work?
[04:12] <kramertron> oops
[04:13] <nivekc1> oh absolutley vista is a massive OS full of crap and bugs, it works half the time and the other half windows explorer crashes at random
[04:13] <Flannel> kbrooks__: yeah.  Kompozer is nvu + bugfixes.  Not sure if it's going to be in gutsy or not though.  I suppose we could look
[04:13] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: I ran the command at the top, then CTLR - ALT - Backspace, then the resolution was there
[04:13] <enviouz> i used gparted to mount it though as im not sure of any other way to mount ext3. the mount point was already set after partitioning before i even tried to mount it
[04:13] <pschulz01> Invisionfree:The install should do this for you..
[04:14] <Invisionfree> pschulz01: The install fails to modify the Vista partition
[04:14] <mneptok> Flannel: Amaya is another nVu alternative you can recommend
[04:14] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: To partition drive, run the liveCD and start the install.
[04:14] <pschulz01> Invisionfree: Do you want to reformat the entire drive?
[04:14] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: It doesn;t do NTFS right. So I used GParted from System
[04:14] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: ohhhhhh.....vista.
[04:15] <Invisionfree> Yeah =\
[04:15] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: See above...Vista does NOT play well with others .
[04:15] <PurpZeY> Including Ubuntu.
[04:15] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY:
[04:15] <SoulinEther> does vista play well with windows xp?
[04:15] <Invisionfree> I just deleted the old, made a new
[04:15] <OmegaCenti> great... now firefox is crashing... and I don't know where to look to see what happened
[04:15] <Invisionfree> Going to install
[04:15] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: You got rid of vista totally?
[04:15] <Invisionfree> Yep
[04:15] <mon^rch> what's a good way to join 2 .avi's?
[04:15] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: Then you should be good to go, are you keeping any partitions?
[04:16] <Invisionfree> Nope
[04:16] <Invisionfree> Making one huge one for Ubuntu, thats all :O
[04:16] <PurpZeY> Invisionfree: Then just go, and let the liveCD set itself up as it wishes.
[04:16] <imbecile> any ops here? I'm making a video for youtube and i was wondering if it was okay to have this channel open in one of my desktops.. or do you think people would be adverse to being seen in a beryl video?
[04:16] <Invisionfree> PurpZeY: I am
[04:16] <PurpZeY> imbecile: I'd ask.
[04:16] <IceTox> Anyone in here familiar with screenlets?
[04:16] <thefallenarchang> does anyone have a url for the madwifi-ng download
[04:16] <mneptok> Invisionfree: one big partiton is prolly not the best way to go :)
[04:16] <nivekc1> vista doesnt do anything well
[04:16] <imbecile> PurpZeY,  hehe thats what i'm trying to do
[04:16] <nivekc1> xp is still far better
[04:17] <mneptok> nivekc1: it's *really* good at separating people from cash
[04:17] <OmegaCenti> If an application crashes, where should I look?
[04:17] <Invisionfree> mneptok: Why not?
[04:17] <PurpZeY> imbecile: !ops
[04:17] <imbecile> PurpZeY,  thanks :)
[04:17] <PurpZeY> bruenig: It's been nice chatting man, take it easy.
[04:17] <nivekc1> mneptok: haha good point
[04:17] <mneptok> Invisionfree: / = ~7.5GB  ||  swap = 2x RAM  ||  /home = remainder
[04:17] <bruenig> k
[04:17] <crxyem> ok, well, I've got a few different hard disk controllers, a promise sx4060, promise tx133, highpoint 100, and a highpoint 464, the sx4060 and the highpoint 464 are raid cards, but all I want is a nother disk controller so I can add 4-250gb drive and have access to tham any ideas ??
[04:18] <Invisionfree> Why?
[04:18] <mneptok> Invisionfree: if /home is on a separate partition you can wipe the OS but keep your data
[04:18] <ProN00b> if i install 64 bit ubuntu, how do i get certain apps in 32 bit ? (mplayer, firefox, for codecs and plugins)
[04:18] <thefallenarchang> can someone post the url for madwifi-ng
[04:18] <mon^rch> what's a good way to join 2 .avi's?
[04:18] <mneptok> mon^rch: cat
[04:18] <Hobbsee> imbecile: this is a public channel, so that's fine.  there are logs published too
[04:19] <Invisionfree> mneptok: Usually when I wipe OSes, its to get rid of data
[04:19] <mon^rch> mneptok: could you please give me an example syntax?
[04:19] <mneptok> Invisionfree: like your mp3 collection?
[04:19] <Invisionfree> What MP3 collection?
[04:19] <Invisionfree> I have two songs: White and Nerdy and Canadian Idiot
[04:19] <Invisionfree> Thats my colletion
[04:19] <mneptok> mon^rch: cat file1.avi file2.avi > newbigfileofmymovieYAY.avi
[04:20] <mon^rch> mneptok: tyvm
[04:20] <younghacker> cool
[04:20] <mneptok> Invisionfree: you're free to ignore me. but i wouldn't. ;)
[04:20] <imbecile> Hobbsee,  awesome thanks.... hehe i know the logs are published.. one time i was looking to fix something after a fresh install and i saw  the log where jrib was walking me through it.. i thought it was funny... and helpful!

[04:21] <mneptok> skyfalcon866: no
[04:21] <sxjizaios> What sound card should I buy? I mostly listen to music, and want good music listening with Linux support and at a reasonable price.
[04:21] <mneptok> Flannel: that's not confirmed yet :)
[04:22] <Flannel> mneptok: It has to be.  Unless they plan on extending dappers support
[04:23] <mneptok> Flannel: Dapper will be supported through June 2009 on the desktop. which leaves Gutsy+3.

[04:23] <enviouz> anybody know how to change permissions on a whole partition? cant access one of mine after using goarted. only root has access
[04:24] <Invisionfree> Isn't it Gusty not Gutsy?
[04:24] <skyfalcon866> i think its gusty
[04:24] <Invisionfree> It is
[04:24] <gnomefreak> its gutsy
[04:24] <chem`> anyone know if the new santa rosa macbook pros' audio works in gutsy?
[04:24] <gnomefreak> and please bring it to #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu+1
[04:25] <chem`> or how to get it working in fiesty?
[04:25] <Invisionfree> It got changed..It used to be gusty =\
[04:26] <eboyjr14> What's the difference between Suspend, Hibernate and shutdown?
[04:28] <ShackJack> eboyjr14: shut down - closes O/S and shuts off power, hibernate takes snapshot of O/S (open programsn, etc...) and shuts down and reloads snapshot on next boot, suspend puts computer in low power mode (sometimes hibernate & suspend dicey)...
[04:28] <eboyjr14> ShackJack: Thanks
[04:31] <Fungus2> hello world!

[04:31] <crxyem> ok, well, I've got a few different hard disk controllers, a promise sx4060, promise tx133, highpoint 100, and a highpoint 464, the sx4060 and the highpoint 464 are raid cards, but all I want is a nother disk controller so I can add 4-250gb drive and have access to tham any ideas ??

[04:36] <libertario> hey men
[04:36] <Fezzler> My daughter said our Ubuntu computer froze so she shut it off.  Upon restart we got Buffer I/O error, ...hard disk error
[04:37] <libertario> if there is any ubuntu devel here
[04:37] <libertario> I want to tell you..
[04:37] <libertario> good work
[04:37] <Fezzler> I always find way to recover, but what is the best way?
[04:37] <libertario> ubuntu is a great distribution, good work making debian easy for enduser
[04:37] <wilrecar77> can i replace gnome with xfce in the regular ubuntu system
[04:37] <libertario> very very good work, congratulations
[04:37] <corevette> how would i do sudo apt-get update, and then sudo apt-get upgrade on the same line in a terminal/
[04:37] <Fezzler> It leaves me at command line with option to hit Control D or enter root login password?
[04:37] <libertario> ;)
[04:37] <dominicus> Kaitlyn2004: I said the wrong thing to you: it's not smbclient, it's smbpasswd I had in mind
[04:38] <Jamesinator> corevette: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:39] <enviouz> anybody know how to change permissions on a whole partition? i used gparted to partition a new drive not i cant even access it
[04:39] <wilrecar77> what i mean is, is there any easy way to replace gnome with xfce and not breaking anything serious?
[04:39] <wilrecar77> my system is old and i need to free up more resources
[04:39] <Fezzler> It is bad to run fchk -y on a mounted drive, right/

[04:40] <Lanken> hey, I have an intel x3100 graphics processor (santa rosa integrated graphics) in a machine that's running ibuntu
[04:40] <Lanken> *ubuntu
[04:40] <Lanken> can I get drivers from packages.ubuntu.org?
[04:41] <Lanken> s/org/com/
[04:41] <ShackJack> wilrecar77: Won't break nothing but then do sudo aptitude -f install to make sure dependencies are all satisified (XFCE if also based on GTK as GNOME is...
[04:41] <wilrecar77> ok
[04:42] <ShackJack> Anyone have any opinions on making a /boot partition in addition to a /home partition? Recommended?
[04:42] <Ademan> Lanken: i don't know about x3100 but normally you don't need to download drivers for intel graphics its included already
[04:42] <Lanken> Ademan: ordinarily, yes, but the iso I installed from pre-dates my chipset by half a year
[04:42] <Lanken> (since it's an old dapper iso)
[04:43] <Lanken> and I have a dial-up connection, so downloading the new iso isn't an option.
[04:43] <ShackJack> Lanken: why not sudo upgrade manager -c -d :)
[04:43] <Jamesinator> I have a directory mounted from a network via sshfs, and it still exists after I rebooted. How can I remove it?
[04:43] <ShackJack> Lanken: do it b4 you go to bed ;)
[04:43] <Ademan> Lanken: ah, ouch, you could order some fiesty cds with shipit
[04:43] <Ademan> free and all
[04:44] <Lanken> ShackJack: I benchmarked my connection just to rule that out.  it will take 48 hours to get an iso.
[04:44] <Lanken> ShackJack: I'm leaving here in two weeks so it's not worth it.
[04:44] <Jamesinator> Lanken: Take a weekend trip? ;)
[04:45] <Lanken> Jamesinator: to come back and find out that the mirror crapped out on my two hours in? no thanks :P
[04:45] <enviouz> Jamesinator: that didnt work either. the second command says no such file or directory
[04:45] <Jamesinator> Lanken: SSH. Or VNC.
[04:45] <Jamesinator> enviouz: ls -la MOUNTPOINT
[04:45] <Jamesinator> Tell me what it says

[04:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:46] <ceil420> i see it in themes ("gtkrc") and on Conky ("conkyrc")
[04:46] <ceil420> i think the 'c' is configuration, but i'm just curious :o
[04:46] <Invisionfree> release candidate?
[04:46] <Ademan> resource file
[04:47] <Ademan> Lanken: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/    (i'm sure you know about it already)  but it might be worth it for support of your chipset, but for now don't you at least have 2d support?
[04:47] <Lanken> it seems that 915resolution has not be upgraded to handle the new chipsets.
[04:47] <ceil420> just been wonderin' about it lately since i got into making themes :p
[04:47] <enviouz> Jamesinator:  ok nvm i miss typed it.
[04:47] <enviouz> ty finally i can use it
[04:47] <Lanken> Ademan: yeah, I have 2d at 1024x768
[04:47] <Jamesinator> enviouz: Congratulations. :D
[04:48] <Jordan_U> Lanken, Does it work with the -intel driver?
[04:48] <Lanken> Ademan: I'd like to have full resulution but I guess that's a different issue.
[04:48] <enviouz> is there a reason why gparted automatically sets root only permissions on new partitions?
[04:48] <Fezzler> What do I do when Ubuntu freezes?
[04:48] <Jamesinator> enviouz: Security reasons, I expect
[04:48] <Lanken> Fezzler: ctrl-shift-f2
[04:49] <Lanken> err ctrl-alt-f2
[04:49] <enviouz> ahh ic. that would make sense
[04:49] <Lanken> and fix things from the virtual terminal
[04:49] <Fezzler> Seems like I get hard drive errors when I restart
[04:49] <Jordan_U> Fezzler, 1: try ctrl+alt+F1 2: ctrl+alt+backspace 3: alt+sysrq+k
[04:50] <Fezzler> when I get dropped to root prompt, am I trying to restart Grub or Nautilus at that point?
[04:50] <levander> Where is the easiest place to install Flash 9 from?
[04:50] <Jordan_U> Fezzler, What do you mean?
[04:50] <Jordan_U> !flash | levander
[04:50] <ubotu> levander: 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

[04:52] <lordhellspont> anyone tried to install ubuntu 7.04 in virtualbox?
[04:52] <bruenig> you can just do ifconfig $interface down
[04:52] <bruenig> to bring down the interface
[04:52] <Fezzler> Hi Jordan.  Every once in a rare bluemoon, Ubuntu freezes.  We try turning computer off then on.  The result is Buffer I/O and device hddev0 error
[04:53] <Jamesinator> I have a directory mounted from a network via sshfs, and it still exists after I rebooted. How can I remove it?
[04:53] <Wyzard> I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 in VMware Workstation 6 and having a problem with the vmmouse driver:  scroll-wheel events are delivered twice, so I can't scroll by a single click
[04:53] <Fezzler> Then I'm offered to press Control D or enter root password.
[04:53] <Wyzard> Anyone else have this problem and know how to resolve it?
[04:53] <Jamesinator> Wyzard: Vmware tools mouse functions on Ubuntu Feisty are VERY buggy. I think you just have to wait for a fix.
[04:53] <Fezzler> Not sure best way to proceed.  I ran fchk -y and then re-booted.  It works but I hear fchk is bad to run.
[04:54] <Wyzard> Jamesinator: At the moment I'm using a fresh install of Feisty in a newly-created VM, using the driver from xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse...  I haven't installed VMware Tools yet
[04:54] <Wyzard> Jamesinator: (though it happens with the Tools driver too, in a different VM)
[04:54] <Jamesinator> Wyzard: Sorry then, I was just relating my personal experience. I've yet to find a fix either. :\
[04:55] <Barr1> Hello, how do I edit my "sources.list" file?
[04:55] <Wyzard> Jamesinator: so I'm wondering if it's a configuration thing, or if Ubuntu's shipped vmmouse driver is buggy too
[04:55] <Pici> Barr1: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:55] <puff> Jamesinator, bruenig I just want my laptop to ignore my wireless connection and use my wired connection instead.
[04:55] <Jordan_U> Barr1, System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[04:55] <Barr1> thx
[04:56] <puff> Jamesinator: "ifdown eth1" does not work, gives me "ifdown: interface eth1 not configured"
[04:56] <Jamesinator> puff: ifconfig eth1 down
[04:56] <Jamesinator> I think, I'm not sure of the syntax
[04:56] <crxyem> anyone here any help with pci disk controllers ?
[04:56] <bruenig> whoever was asking the wireless question I am not sure how to do it on ubuntu because it uses the network manager thing, if you could get networkmanager not to start at boot
[04:56] <krapper> no but jesus can
[04:56] <bruenig> what is it rc.update
[04:57] <bruenig> or some command like that
[04:57] <lordhellspont> anyone tried to install ubuntu 7.04 in virtualbox?
[04:57] <Jordan_U> puff, Disable it in network-manager ?

[05:05] <kkathman> they just keep changing servers
[05:05] <Jamesinator> Oh
[05:05] <Flannel> Jamesinator: they spammed back with CTCP versions
[05:05] <kkathman> its happening in several channels
[05:05] <kkathman> same peeps
[05:05] <imbecile> anyone have kiba-dock running on feisty? have the blackbar problem from repo? i need to know how to get it going
[05:05] <Charles_Xavier> good thing im using ubuntu, if i was on linux, that ctcp flood would of gave me that blue screen :)
[05:05] <IceTox> a gline would worked better wouldn't it?
[05:05] <Charles_Xavier> windows?*
[05:05] <kkathman> windows, suse others
[05:06] <rogue780> does anyone know the ubuntu package with the perl date::parse lib in it
[05:06] <rogue780> ?
[05:07] <bruenig> oh well since you added that question mark
[05:07] <bruenig> rogue780, just apt-cache search for perl stuff
[05:07] <bruenig> rogue780, if you knew what file that was contained in you could see which package contained that file
[05:07] <chrisjs169> is it safe to stay in here? lol
[05:08] <Jamesinator> Flannel: Does that necessarily mean they were part of the flood? Or was it just a necessary measure until the attacks stopped?
[05:08] <vidd_laptop> rogue780, you can also use synaptic ..it has a search feature where you can search the discriptions
[05:08] <imbecile> flooding a channel is lame
[05:08] <bruenig> synaptic who needs that
[05:08] <rogue780> bruenig, been doing that...no luck
[05:08] <rogue780> vidd_laptop, no luck
[05:09] <Charles_Xavier> how come ubuntu uses old kernel... the newer one is out, fedora is using it, along with slackware and gentoo, but how come ubuntu still uses the outdated kernel?
[05:09] <bruenig> rogue780, just install every perl thing that exists
[05:09] <bruenig> Charles_Xavier, that is how ubuntu does things
[05:09] <vidd_laptop> bruenig, if i know what type of app i want, but not the name, it helps
[05:09] <kkathman> Charles_Xavier:  each distro has a standardly supported kernel for that particular release and others may or may not be made available
[05:09] <levander> Jordan_U: have you got a site that will let me click and auto-install Flash 9?  The site I just went to doesn't do that.
[05:09] <kkathman> suse does the same thing
[05:09] <bruenig> vidd_laptop, apt-cache search searches descriptions
[05:10] <bruenig> levander, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:10] <Jamesinator> I have a directory mounted from a network via sshfs, and it still exists after I rebooted. How can I remove it?
[05:11] <Flannel> Jamesinator: They weren't part f the flood, the flood was a CTCP version request, that they replied too, and those replies caused them to kline
[05:11] <rogue780> too bad nothing searches included files
[05:11] <vidd_laptop> Charles_Xavier, with the frequent new releases, there really is no NEED to constantly upgrade the kernel...besides, if you HAVE to have the latest kernel, you can always get it
[05:11] <Jamesinator> Flannel: Oh, ok, that's what I thought. I just didn't see why they got klined if they weren't part of the attack.

[05:12] <vladuz976> hi, i was wondering if anybody has ubuntu 7.04 running on a vaio C series. i
[05:12] <Jordan_U> levander, http://albinoblacksheep.com/ ?
[05:12] <vladuz976> i am interested in buying a vaio series C and wanna make sure hardware is compatible
[05:12] <xenex> Why do I get this message, "Could not save the file /etc/sudoers." when I am trying to save the file as root?
[05:13] <bruenig> kkathman, don't lump distros together like that, there are many distros such as arch that is bleeding edge all the time, the behemoths may act the same fedora suse and ubuntu but the underlings differ greatly
[05:13] <xenex> Oh nevermind.
[05:13] <Jordan_U> vladuz976, Can you give some specs on the hardware? And are you buying this in store of online?
[05:13] <Pici> vladuz976: check if anyone with that model is listed on http://www.linux-laptop.net/ with an ubuntu install.
[05:13] <kkathman> bruenig:  true - I just said many distros did that, thx
[05:13] <bruenig> kkathman, 3
[05:13] <Flannel> xenex: are you using visudo?
[05:13] <xenex> Flannel, yeah, just saw it :p
[05:13] <vladuz976> Jordan_U: in the store. they have choice of celeron or core duo
[05:13] <kkathman> well there are 350 distros - I wouldnt think anyone would know how each of them handles that :)
[05:14] <Flannel> Jamesinator: I think they had misconfigured clients, that replied poorly (and automatically got klined)
[05:14] <Jordan_U> vladuz976, Bring in a LiveCD :)
[05:14] <orbisvicis> does libdvdcss let you read dvds from other regions ?
[05:14] <bruenig> orbisvicis, yes

[05:14] <vladuz976> Jordan_U: the store? you think they'll let me do that?

[05:20] <Jordan_U> vladuz976, I definitely agree there :)
[05:20] <Jamesinator> I have a directory mounted from a network via sshfs, and it still exists after I rebooted. How can I remove it?
[05:20] <bruenig> !repeat | Jamesinator
[05:20] <ubotu> Jamesinator: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[05:21] <bruenig> go with the hp
[05:21] <wickwire> orbisvici: k9copy, never used it, but might be what your looking for
[05:21] <levander> Jamesinator: is it in /etc/fstab?  is that why it's mounted after reboot?
[05:21] <Jamesinator> Bruenig: Considering my last request was several minutes ago and before all the flooding and spam, I doubt that was necessary
[05:21] <t3soro> vladuz976: its worth trying to bring a livecd in to test. whats the worst that could happen? they might kick you out and think you're crazy, but thats about it.
[05:21] <bruenig> they have been pro linux far longer than bandwagoning dell
[05:21] <levander> Jamesinator: "umount <dir its mounted on>"
[05:21] <Jamesinator> levander: To be honest, I'm not sure. I'll check.
[05:21] <bruenig> Jamesinator, I have seen it 3-4 times
[05:21] <orbisvicis> ok
[05:22] <Jamesinator> Bruenig: I'm sure you have, that doesn't mean they weren't modestly spaced so as not to be floodish
[05:22] <vladuz976> t3soro: i'll definitely try that. but dell has the advantage of being cheaper, but unfortunately the shipping takes forever and I don't know if they ship to Japan
[05:22] <Jamesinator> levander: No, it doesn't exist in my fstab
[05:23] <bruenig> Jamesinator, you might employ a strategy such that you use different channels, ##linux #archlinux #gentoo and others
[05:23] <bruenig> Jamesinator, those will tend to give you higher knowledged people anyways
[05:23] <MISTERTibbs> !
[05:23] <OmegaCenti> What happened?
[05:23] <MISTERTibbs> !commands
[05:23] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[05:23] <Jamesinator> Alright, thanks for the advice.
[05:23] <OmegaCenti> jrib: yo, what happened?
[05:24] <levander> Jamesinator: i dunno then, couldn't tell you, i guess sshfs has a different config file that specifies what to mount on boot?
[05:24] <nalioth> OmegaCenti: what happened with what?
[05:24] <OmegaCenti> look like we got version request spammed.
[05:24] <Jamesinator> levander: I think it uses FUSE, but I'm still in the dark as for removing the directory
[05:24] <nalioth> OmegaCenti: join #ubuntu-offtopic for more discussin, if you like
[05:24] <OmegaCenti> wondering what I can do to fix it so it doesn't happen in the future
[05:24] <OmegaCenti> will do
[05:24] <levander> Jamesinator: i don't even know what FUSE is
[05:24] <bruenig> !fuse
[05:24] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[05:24] <Jamesinator> !fuse | levander
[05:24] <ubotu> levander: please see above
[05:25] <OmegaCenti> Im there
[05:25] <OmegaCenti> nalioth: sorry, there
[05:25] <Jamesinator> I don't know for sure, but there are additional FUSE options below the SSHFS options in the manpage.
[05:25] <Jordan_U> bruenig, That is a little out of date :)
[05:25] <bruenig> yeah
[05:26] <Mixx> yo recognize

[05:28] <thiebaude> thnx
[05:28] <bobbob> i'm still debating if i should make another partition and put gutsy on or wait a month
[05:28] <compuniversal> some body know about the Tivo
[05:29] <FireHazard17> i say wait a month i did that with feisty
[05:29] <FunnyLookinHat> bobbob, if you're debating..  probably should just wait   : )
[05:29] <Mixx> bobbob what are you going to gain by going gutsy?
[05:29] <levander> bobbob: install xen, and run gutsy in a virtual machine
[05:29] <bobbob> well i'd be on another partition
[05:29] <bruenig> gutsy doesn't even appear to have much
[05:29] <MISTERTibbs> bobbob, i'd wait for the first 90 day shakeout.  I don't really need to be bleeding edge.
[05:29] <bobbob> nothing, i just like testing
[05:29] <levander> bobbob: that way, no rebooting, and easy to wipe on and off
[05:29] <FireHazard17> wait do it thats why linux is better
[05:29] <FireHazard17> becuase you can have bleeding edge with out waiting for release dates
[05:29] <Italo-B> iaew
[05:29] <insp> uhg, my flash plugin in firefox keeps being uninstalled if i restart firefox
[05:29] <bobbob> but right now they haven't made a ton of changes over from feisty yet
[05:29] <Jordan_U> bruenig, There are some nice things, they are all upstream though
[05:30] <bruenig> The specs don't look to great
[05:30] <orbisvicis> anyone know where I can find subtitle to pgm ?
[05:30] <bobbob> they're still deciding what to do with compiz since they just merged back w/ beryl
[05:30] <levander> What's the page that says the big changes for Gutsy?

[05:37] <specialmoose> so, how can he do it lol
[05:37] <FireHazard17> lol
[05:37] <compuniversal> i have ubuntu 7.04 feisty
[05:37] <specialmoose> does the ubuntu cd contain ndiswrapper?
[05:37] <FireHazard17> yup its not installed
[05:37] <nalioth> orbisvicis: what are you looking for?
[05:37] <bruenig> compuniversal, I believe you need to either burn it to a dvd or hack the tivo software
[05:37] <FireHazard17> prolly not
[05:37] <specialmoose> LOL
[05:37] <FireHazard17> but you can try
[05:37] <FireHazard17> ethernet5 possible?
[05:37] <specialmoose> nope
[05:37] <FireHazard17> that sucks
[05:37] <Barr1> I've been to those sites for webcams....the first anyways...followed the directions to a tee
[05:38] <compuniversal> bruenig hack the tivo sofware
[05:38] <peanutb> FireHazard, theres a page on the wiki about installing ndiswrapper offline
[05:38] <orbisvicis> nalioth, rar minimum 2.71 "needed for compressed vobsub subtitles"
[05:38] <specialmoose> yeah, he wants to try linux but refuses unless he can get that to work
[05:38] <theshadow> bruenig: could you be a little more specific about the session data?
[05:38] <FireHazard17> what about downlaoding the package on this comp?
[05:38] <nalioth> orbisvicis: visit rarlabs.com and use the one they provide
[05:38] <theshadow> like a file name or directory?
[05:38] <bruenig> compuniversal, I don't know how to do it, I believe it is quite hard because it uses digital signatures
[05:38] <orbisvicis> nalioth, thanks
[05:38] <bruenig> theshadow, look around in your home directory, that is where it saves it
[05:38] <Barr1> What does this mean?....."Jordan_U: !webcam | Barr1"
[05:38] <tromoly> hey I'm running an Xubuntu Live CD to install on a different computer, and when it loads into XFCE, it doesn't show the HDD. any ideas?

[05:39] <zzuh> is it possible to initiate an application / script on a specific time?
[05:39] <theshadow> bruenig: I understand that, but what is the file name look like?
[05:39] <orbisvicis> nalioth, oh its not free
[05:39] <Barr1> This is where im downloading my webcam driver: http://zc0302.sourceforge.net/zc0302.php?page=download
[05:39] <bruenig> theshadow, not sure
[05:39] <nbbob> anyone have the error office 03 not installed for this user running wine on ubuntu 7.04
[05:39] <rixon> There was a ctcp flood?
[05:39] <levander> zzuh: "man crontab"
[05:39] <zzuh> thanks levander
[05:39] <Flannel> !cron | zzuh
[05:39] <ubotu> zzuh: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[05:39] <bruenig> nbbob, have you installed office?
[05:39] <Icehawk78> I had rtorrent running in an ssh window, which was then shut down. After starting a new session, I'm unable to access the running copy of rtorrent (I assume it's still running, because it won't load the .torrent file now), but I also can't find it listed when I ran "ps -el". Any suggestions?
[05:39] <compuniversal> bruenig i have VirtualBox but inside the virtualbox i can get internet
[05:39] <theshadow> Ok then I will repeat my question. how do I clear out the "saved session" data?
[05:39] <nalioth> orbisvicis: nor is the one in the repos, iirc
[05:40] <zzuh> thanks Flannel
[05:40] <bruenig> compuniversal, ok?
[05:40] <oYo> anyone know how to run su remotely using ssh ,thanks?
[05:40] <nbbob> i have although it does not show up on the installed progs in wine
[05:40] <orbisvicis> oh
[05:40] <bruenig> theshadow, well the idea is find the file and delete it
[05:40] <Jordan_U> oYo, Same way you do locally
[05:40] <Flannel> Icehawk78: check out GNU screen.  Doesn't fix your problem, but addresses the issue in the future
[05:40] <tromoly> my hdd isn't showing up on an Xubuntu Live CD, any ideas?
[05:40] <levander> oYo: what is the operating system on the box you are sshing into?
[05:40] <nbbob> but when i run word or excel etc it opens and immediatley comes up with the error not installed for this user
[05:41] <theshadow> bruenig: I know that but if I don't know what the name of the file is or what it may look like it doesn't help much :P
[05:41] <bruenig> theshadow, you didn't even look for it did you, you want everything handed to you, how about checking some of those configuration files, .config .cache .local
[05:41] <oYo> ssh myid@hostnmae su -c command ,this not work
[05:41] <bruenig> your guess
[05:41] <FireHazard17> specialmoose: is it possoble to download to a thumbdrive on this comp then bring to other comp?
[05:41] <specialmoose> k, well i apt-get ndiswrapper... where the hell did it download to
[05:41] <FireHazard17> dont i dont do that i get it off the web sit
[05:41] <FireHazard17> http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=ndiswrapper&searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all
[05:41] <Pici> oYo: use sudo not su
[05:41] <specialmoose> FireHazard17, sure but my concern is him and i have 0 linux experience meaning, if it asks to compile we both sol
[05:41] <levander> Icehawk78: rtorrent probably wrote some kind of pid file or something, anyway it must write something to the filesystem that it can check to see if it's still running
[05:42] <FireHazard17> you dont need to compile
[05:42] <FireHazard17> but you do need the windows drivers
[05:42] <nbbob> i see other people with the same problem but no answers
[05:42] <levander> Icehawk78: you'll have to read about rtorrent, or look around in your home directory (especially the dot files) to find where it writes it
[05:42] <eboyjr> When running Ubuntu from the live CD, what happens to the data that Firefox or whatever downloads or saves?
[05:42] <FireHazard17> nbbob: ehat prob?
[05:42] <specialmoose> FireHazard17, k, im going to try it on my machine first
[05:42] <oYo> i have many servers ,if using sudo ,i have to set on many servers one by one
[05:42] <nalioth> orbisvicis: use sudo on an Ubuntu system
[05:42] <theshadow> bruenig: no I am looking but nothing stands out as a session file so I asked if someone knew another name it might be by or if it wasn't in the home directory.
[05:42] <Jordan_U> eboyjr, It just gets stored in RAM
[05:42] <levander> eboyjr: it is lost on reboot, unless you mount a hard drive partition and write it there
[05:42] <nbbob> FireHazard17, but when i run word or excel etc it opens and immediatley comes up with the error not installed for this user
[05:42] <specialmoose> FireHazard17, question is i just get apt-get and installed ndiswrapper... how do i run it haha
[05:43] <Flannel> oYo: what?
[05:43] <Icehawk78> levander: Thanks, I'll see if I can find it. I'm basically looking for a lock file of sorts?
[05:43] <bruenig> theshadow, it is in the home directory, how else could it save it
[05:43] <ocha> does anyone know a good tutorial for s-video dual monitor?  (using a tv as an another monitor??)
[05:43] <bruenig> theshadow, .config is probably what you are looking for, how do you have sessions anyways, are you using xfce or kde/.
[05:43] <bruenig> ?
[05:43] <levander> specialmoose: you have to read about ndiswrapper, look in maybe /usr/share/doc/ndiswrapper for documentation
[05:43] <FireHazard17> i think just type 'ndiswrapper' into console
[05:43] <levander> Icehawk78: yeah, lock file is the general idea
[05:43] <FireHazard17> i think it has a gui i hope
[05:43] <CVD> recomend the use of Automatix and the other that i dont remember the name?
[05:43] <Flannel> !automatix | CVD
[05:43] <ubotu> CVD: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:44] <levander> Icehawk78: that's a generic answer though, I don't know specifically about rtorrent, that's what i'd do though, look for a lock file...
[05:44] <CVD> and whas the a\name of the other
[05:44] <CVD> ?
[05:44] <FireHazard17> i too reccomend automatix
[05:44] <Flannel> FireHazard17: Please dont
[05:44] <theshadow> bruenig: no gnome I was setting it up through the sessions manager to auto start an application and I clicked "save session" not knowing what it did. then when I did figure it out I was trying to figure out how to remove the saved session
[05:44] <FireHazard17> recommend*
[05:44] <oYo> Flannel: ssh myid@hostnmae su -c command ,this not work, it returns : standard in must be tty
[05:44] <bruenig> theshadow, didn't realize gnome had save session
[05:45] <ocha> i need tutorials on s-video hookups with nvidia cards (hooking up to a tv)?  plz help me
[05:45] <CVD> EasyUbuntu?
[05:45] <theshadow> bruenig: learn something new every day
[05:45] <Jordan_U> ocha, Try running: gksudo nvidia-settings
[05:45] <dr_willis> ocha,  you just going to have the 1 video (tv) on the card>
[05:45] <levander> oYo: log in to the remote machine and make sure su works just from the command line
[05:45] <nbbob> anyone else use office 03 in ubuntu 7.04 under wine?
[05:45] <bruenig> theshadow, well just roam around in ~.* until you find it
[05:45] <bruenig> theshadow, well just roam around in ~/.* until you find it
[05:45] <dr_willis> ocha,  if wanting to use tv and monitor you want to enable the twinview options

[05:46] <FireHazard17> lol
[05:46] <dr_willis> I dont see much need for automatix or easyubuntu  these days.,
[05:46] <levander> CVD is a *bad* boy
[05:46] <CVD> automatix or easy? iwanna know
[05:46] <Jordan_U> CVD, Easyubuntu is better... But both aren't really necessary anyways
[05:46] <dr_willis> CVD,  Neither. :)
[05:47] <Flannel> CVD: neither.  Install whatever you want normally.  It's not difficult at all.
[05:47] <logreeval> hi, my wireless network card works good, i am using it now, but on startup up it doesnt seem to work, does it take time to startup or something?

[05:49] <ponicg> Is there any way to read .docx or .xlsx files in OpenOffice on Edgy/Feisty?

[05:50] <IceTox> anyone in here that has any knowledge on screenlets?
[05:50] <logreeval> i want to increase my screen resolution, but nothing seems to work
[05:50] <Jordan_U> FireHazard17, But often when people try to upgrade and it get's messed up because of what Automatix did, they switch back to Windows because "Ubuntu is unstable"
[05:51] <erat123> oYo: you would need to give yourself permissions to lastlog and anything else it uses.
[05:51] <oYo> i have too many servers ,if using  sudo ,i have to set them all one by one
[05:51] <levander> oYo: I'd check #bash for your question.
[05:51] <oYo> thx a lot
[05:52] <bruenig> not really a #bash question
[05:52] <levander> they know all the common command line utilities in there though
[05:52] <levander> they talk about them all the time
[05:52] <CVD> but i dont see the "open in terminal" in the ricght-click menu
[05:52] <CVD> :-(
[05:53] <bruenig> that question is not a bash question though, it is a question about applications
[05:53] <Flannel> CVD: install nautilus-open-terminal
[05:53] <macogw> can i modify unusual_devs from userspace (as in, without a kernel recompile)?  i'm told that in 2.6.21, you can do it, but the person doesn't know if it's possible in 2.6.20
[05:53] <levander> bruenig: they talk about su and stuff liek that all the time, whether you think they should or not
[05:54] <Vaske_Car> is it possible to import Outlook Express emails with Live CD?
[05:54] <MicrosoftSpy> su fu
[05:54] <levander> Vaske_Car: open the evolution and see if there are any menu options that let you do that
[05:55] <Evilbadwrong> Ok...so is it even possible to get an ATI Radeon X1300 Pro video card to work properly with Ubuntu? Because I've tried every method I could find on the forums....and I keep getting the black screen of death....
[05:55] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong, It should be yes.
[05:55] <ponicg> First - it should be supported right off the bat with MESA drivers...
[05:55] <MicrosoftSpy> Most hardware can be tweaked to run on Ubuntu
[05:55] <Jordan_U> Evilbadwrong, You tried the alternate install CD?
[05:55] <ponicg> however, you can install the binary drivers from AMD/ATI and it'll work fine.
[05:55] <ponicg> i'm running an x1600/firegl v5200
[05:56] <Evilbadwrong> Ubuntu is installed and everything is fine....it's just that my video driver isn't working right....it's like it's using the default 'generic' driver or something....
[05:57] <levander> Evilbadwrong: maybe you just have to turn on hardware acceleration?
[05:57] <Evilbadwrong> How does one do that, levander?
[05:58] <levander> System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers Manager
[05:58] <nbbob> thanks anyway guys
[05:58] <Evilbadwrong> levander: I did that and then rebooted to the black screen of death.
[05:59] <levander> Evilbadwrong: glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
[05:59] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong, glxinfo and /msg me the output
[05:59] <n2diy> Black screen of death!? I love it.
[05:59] <levander> That will tell you whether or not your running hardware acceleration.

[06:05] <Icehawk78> How can you get a display of all users logged in?
[06:05] <CVD> can someone explainme Why Opera dont work in Ubuntu?
[06:05] <Icehawk78> Sorry for the color.
[06:06] <dr_willis> CVD,  opera works fine for me in Ubuntu.
[06:06] <stewlatin> Evilbadwrong: is it a secondary graphics card you are trying to install?
[06:06] <Evilbadwrong> Sorry...stupid Gaim crashed on me....still having problems with this *#$UI# ATI card.....

[06:06] <thefallenarchang> hello need some help with wifi my network manger shows it but it wont connect my dmesg says setting ap mac address failed as well as wlan0 no ipv6 routers present
[06:06] <CVD> i can go to www.google.com, www.ubuntu.com
[06:06] <macogw> thefallenarchang: what kind of wifi card you have?
[06:07] <CVD> only work the google search bar
[06:07] <stewlatin> ok
[06:07] <thefallenarchang> atheros 5007eg but under linux it shows atheros 5006eg

[06:08] <compengi> UbuntuServerUser, are you using samba for windows and linux share?
[06:09] <ArtiFACT> watch watch..
[06:09] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  you did install the samba package? you did give the users samba passwords with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAMES' you did ENABLE the home shares by editing the samba config?

[06:09] <macogw> thefallenarchang: open a terminal (applications > accessories) and type in "lsmod | grep -i madwifi"
[06:09] <Evilbadwrong> According to the forums...no one has been able to get this ATI card to work yet...
[06:09] <UbuntuServerUser> compengi dr_willis, yes, yes and yes yes
[06:10] <Icehawk78> compengi: I'm connected to my server through ssh, but I want to see if I have any old sessions of me also logged in, locking a folder, and if possible, log them off in order to free it.
[06:10] <ArtiFACT> well.. alright then..
[06:10] <ArtiFACT> no offtopic stuff.
[06:10] <ArtiFACT> grrr. :)
[06:10] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  for the share names give the users name for the last bit. not 'homes' also.
[06:10] <UbuntuServerUser> compengi dr_willis, I wote in my thing I can access it, so I set everything up correctly
[06:10] <macogw> thefallenarchang: and tell me what it says.  the chipsets are probably similar enough that they share a driver and so it doesnt bother being specific
[06:10] <thefallenarchang> says smod not found
[06:10] <MISTERTibbs> !madwifi
[06:10] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:10] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis I'm sorry? What do you mean?
[06:11] <macogw> thefallenarchang: atheros (all of them) should use madwifi, so do what MISTERTibbs just had ubotu say :p
[06:11] <arang> hi
[06:11] <ksunter> i installed ubuntu on a thinkpad x60s, but the sound does not work at all. how can i fix this?
[06:11] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  instead of //whatever/home  use //whatever/bubba (or whatever the username is) or are younot using the 'home dir' shares?
[06:11] <ponicg> ksunter, try thinkwiki.org
[06:11] <arang> anyone willing to give me a hand before i put a bullet in my skull and become a MS drone?
[06:11] <thefallenarchang> sorry typo forgot the l for lsmod but it didn't say anything
[06:11] <ponicg> what's wrong arang
[06:11] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis no sir....http://pastebin.com/939368
[06:12] <Evilbadwrong> Can I paste my glxinfo here, so I can get some help?
[06:12] <arang> ok i have a problem with ekiga 2.0.3 in ubuntu feisty 7.04

[06:12] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,   ive notied that the things gets a bit confused when you try to access the 'home' share the first time..  once ya use the user name, it reizes you want a users home dir share instead.
[06:12] <orbisvicis> can transcode preserve dvd menus?
[06:12] <compengi> Icehawk78, type "who" in the terminal to check for the users connected with there ips. for the sessions i'm trying to remember where it's logged
[06:13] <specialmoose> k i just did sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common and its saying not found when i plug in ndiswrapper... anyway to find out if ndiswrapper-1.47 is available of apt-get?
[06:13] <CVD> maybe i have to disable the ipv6 in opera?
[06:13] <arang> ekiga installs and configures well but when i receive a call or during a conversation for some reason it starts to stutters it seems at least appears to be a known bug
[06:13] <ksunter> ponicg: i looked at thinkwiki, but there were no articles about ubuntu 6.06lts, and other related threads confused me
[06:13] <Jordan_U> ksunter, What is the output of: asoundconf list
[06:13] <Evilbadwrong> Ok, here's my paste: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27903/
[06:13] <thefallenarchang> macogw i retyped the command with the l in lsmod and it just went back to the prompt when i hit enter
[06:13] <arang> there's ekiga 2.0.9 to download from ekiga.net and .deb installers for ubuntu but when i try to install them they fail and i get a problem with the apt-get cache
[06:14] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis, well ultimately I want each user to have his or her own folder (in the mount /srv/user1 /srv/user2) and access to a public share (/srv/public) and so far /srv/public is kind of working, what do you suggest?
[06:14] <Jordan_U> ksunter, Why are you using 6.06 ?
[06:14] <ksunter> jordan_U: the out put is: Names of available sound cards: Intel
[06:14] <macogw> thefallenarchang: that means the madwifi driver isnt loaded.  that's the driver atheros generally uses
[06:14] <Evilbadwrong> Does that make sense to anyone?
[06:14] <Knux> nice.. my ubuntu just froze :\
[06:14] <Flannel> !sound | ksunter
[06:14] <ubotu> ksunter: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:14] <ponicg> X60s?
[06:15] <macogw> thefallenarchang: just in case, do you by any chance know the actual MODEL of your wireless card?
[06:15] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong, you're using SGI...
[06:15] <macogw> thefallenarchang: atheros are about 50/50 on "works great" and "works ok" with a few "this is craptastic" thrown in
[06:15] <Evilbadwrong> ponicg: Sorry, I don't know what that means....
[06:15] <thefallenarchang> all lspci says is 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[06:16] <Icehawk78> compengi: that's odd. Apparently I'm still the only one. So in that case, I suppose I'll jsut have to see if there's a second way to unlock a folder that has been locked from reading or writing
[06:16] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  there are 2 Samba Books included in the 'samba-doc' package.. If you want to get your samba skills up - they are WELL WELL worth reading.

[06:17] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis, great will follow up on those, where are they? And is it possible to help me fix this little problem? http://pastebin.com/939368 IDK i followed the guide perfectly. .... :(
[06:18] <dr_willis> ubuntu-rocks,  they get installed to the /usr/share/doc dir I think. html format.
[06:18] <compengi> Icehawk78, this could help gksudo gedit /var/log/auth.log
[06:18] <Evilbadwrong> ponicg: What does SGI mean, and what do I need to do to get this card working???
[06:19] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong, I'm researching it. sorry.
[06:19] <mroc> maeth:  hi, i have the same thing.  i read a post in the forums about how to fix it, but haven't tried it yet.   link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2903831
[06:19] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong,  I'm not 100% sure.
[06:19] <din> Evilbadwrong: what kind of card?
[06:19] <maeth> mroc,  thnx :D
[06:19] <Evilbadwrong> ponicg: Sorry....I'm just frustrated. It's an ATI X1300 Pro.
[06:19] <mroc> maeth:  welcome. good luck.
[06:19] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong, I know. I got that frustrated at first too. It's ok:) just wanted to let ya know
[06:19] <neonlinux> hey all.. what command can i use to check the speed of my network card?
[06:20] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  i just sent a update to that pastebin. showing my Public samba share.
[06:20] <Jordan_U> neonlinux, Change the speed?
[06:20] <din> Evilbadwrong: what's wrong with it so far?
[06:20] <neonlinux> Jordan_U: atm i just want to know the speed
[06:20] <din> sorry, i just wanna know what you've done so far
[06:20] <ponicg> din, He's got his glxinfo posted
[06:20] <din> where?
[06:20] <ponicg> din, And it's showing SGI/ATI... jussec
[06:20] <neonlinux> its a realtek 8169
[06:21] <Evilbadwrong> The colors are all washed out looking....like it's using some generic driver. Here's my pasted info: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27903/
[06:21] <ponicg> din, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27903/
[06:21] <ocha> i need help, on my linux box, i was editting my xorg.conf (whatever it's called) for s video out and i messed it up and now the x server won't start up correctly, how do i edit the file through terminal or in shell mode?
[06:21] <alecwh> Is there a way I can set Compiz-Fusion to start on Ubuntu bootup?
[06:22] <neonlinux> ocha: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:22] <alecwh> Sorry, let me make that more detailed.
[06:22] <din> Evilbadwrong: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf too?
[06:22] <Evilbadwrong> I'm using an older ubuntu boot right now...I'm dual booted with Vista....you know how it gives you several different ubuntus to choose from when booting? lol...I sound like such a newbie...
[06:22] <ponicg> Evilbadwrong, no more than the rest of us.
[06:22] <alecwh> Is there a way I can make Compiz Fusion boot on startup, except with indirect-rendering?
[06:22] <din> those are different kernel versions
[06:22] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis I'm new to patebin, how do I view the differences?
[06:23] <din> revisions*
[06:23] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  heck - the site keeps timing out on me when i update it...  May want to try some different pastebin place in the futyre. :()
[06:23] <Evilbadwrong> din: no such file or directory
[06:23] <neonlinux> so anyone with ideas on how to check the connection speed.. its meant to be a gigabit card.. but its transfer speed is real slow
[06:23] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis ok hold on
[06:23] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser, http://pastebin.com/939368
[06:23] <dr_willis> there we go
[06:23] <din> no /etc/X11/xorg.conf ??
[06:23] <ponicg> no /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[06:23] <ponicg> what?
[06:23] <macogw> thefallenarchang: use ndiswrapper.  your card doesnt have madwifi support yet
[06:23] <Evilbadwrong> That's what it says....
[06:24] <din> how old is your installation?
[06:24] <ponicg> ls /etc/X11 and see if its got any .confs?
[06:24] <din> it would have to be around 4 or 5 years
[06:24] <ocha> anyone got the tutorial for newbies on hooking up your s video to tv???
[06:24] <ponicg> it's 6.06 he said, din
[06:24] <din> it has a xorg.conf then
[06:24] <Icehawk78> compengi: that didn't fix my current problem, but did alert me to the fact that I have a new one - it would appear that someone is trying to brute force my server through ssh. Is there a simple way to just block any attempt from an IP address that fails authentication like 10 times in a row or 5 times in a minute?
[06:24] <Evilbadwrong> It's been installed for exactly two days....and this is 7.04
[06:24] <ponicg> oh whoops
[06:24] <dr_willis> ocha,  JUSt a tv? or a monitor and TV?
[06:24] <ponicg> someone else had 6.06 :-p
[06:24] <din> ponicg: yeah, so many questions they sometimes run together :)
[06:24] <gdb> Evilbadwrong: You don't have an xorg.conf?  Did you install using the Server CD?
[06:25] <ocha> dr_willis, a montor and a tv
[06:25] <ponicg> din,  yeah:(
[06:25] <din> Evilbadwrong: if you don't have xorg, then you wouldn't have a display session.
[06:25] <Jordan_U> Evilbadwrong, Capital "X" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:25] <dr_willis> ocha,  you basicially want to enable 'twinview' then.
[06:25] <ponicg> din, Any ideas where gnome stores its .conf info? Every time I boot X tells me that my X config differs from my Gnome Config and asks me what I want to do - use X conig or Gnome Config
[06:26] <compengi> Icehawk78, yeah it's possible to block any ip that would try to login and fails after several times that you would specify
[06:26] <Evilbadwrong> din: ok...had to put a capitol 'x'....and now it says permission denied...lol
[06:26] <ponicg> din, And I want to use my X config - it has the windows key setup to my superkey
[06:26] <ocha> dr_willis, i didn't do that, i edit my xorg.conf :(
[06:26] <dr_willis> ocha,  you proberly should backup your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, then run 'sudo nvidia-settings' make the changes.. and restart the X server to see if they work.
[06:26] <din> Evilbadwrong: sudo
[06:26] <Jordan_U> Evilbadwrong, sudo
[06:26] <din> ponicg: hrm.
[06:26] <Evilbadwrong> sudo what? :P
[06:27] <Evilbadwrong> I'm a newbie, remember? :D
[06:27] <din> ponicg: can you give me the exact text from the dialog?
[06:27] <ocha> how do i save the changes i made to xorg.conf in the shell??
[06:27] <dr_willis> ocha,  or use the  $ nvidia-xconfig  -twinview command.
[06:27] <Flannel> ocha: which editor?
[06:27] <dr_willis> ocha,  depends on how you made them
[06:27] <Icehawk78> I'm basically getting these lines over and over:

[06:28] <din> eh oh well
[06:28] <ocha> Flannel: im using the shell, and i had to take out some stuff, i lost the x server, and im trying to fix it
[06:28] <Flannel> Icehawk78: that's some guy (stomac) trying to login.  you might check out something like DenyHosts, that'll block people after N bad attempts
[06:28] <bobgill1> What would be the cmd to compose an email ?
[06:28] <ocha> dr_willis: i used the shell to fix the file
[06:28] <din> Flannel: try startx and see what error you get
[06:28] <din> err
[06:28] <Flannel> ocha: right, but the shell isn't an editor, but there are editors that rn in the shell, what program are you usnig?

[06:28] <din> ocha: **
[06:28] <din> geez i can't type

[06:29] <dr_willis> ocha,   and you dident make a backup of your original eh?
[06:29] <ocha> Flannel: sorry didn't know that, i use "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf/"
[06:29] <Jordan_U> n2diy, Your persistence amazes me :)
[06:29] <din> ctrl+o to write the file, ctrl+x to exit
[06:29] <din> vi or vim is much better imo
[06:29] <macogw> ocha: then that would mean you're using nano
[06:29] <Flannel> ocha, what din said.
[06:30] <macogw> ocha: pico and vim are other in-terminal text editors
[06:30] <n2diy> Jordan_U: there is an answer to this! :)
[06:30] <maeth> mroc, dude, it worked perfectly, just copy everything and set it on the opacy settings
[06:30] <hd1> hi, my gxine can play music but amarok doesn't make any sound, I'm on xubuntu
[06:30] <Flannel> din: nano is perfectly fine for editing config files
[06:30] <compengi> Icehawk78, specify in "iptables" or use fail2ban
[06:30] <Jordan_U> n2diy, You chacked gconf
[06:30] <Jordan_U> ?
[06:30] <Flannel> macogw: no, pico is a symlink to nano, since pico isn't Free
[06:30] <Jordan_U> *checked :)
[06:30] <din> Flannel: i know, but i'm very partial to vi
[06:30] <ocha> dr_willis: oh i did ^^ but i think i might know how to fix the errors, before trying to switch back to the orginal files
[06:30] <din> :)
[06:30] <mroc> maeth:  cool - thanks for the info.  i'll have to try it later.
[06:30] <din> i've been using it for 12 years now :)
[06:30] <macogw> Flannel: really? didnt know that...then again, never used them
[06:30] <ponicg> din, yes
[06:30] <n2diy> Jordan_U: Nope where is that /home ?
[06:30] <Flannel> macogw: pico/pine are nonfree, nano/mutt are their Free equivalents
[06:31] <dr_willis> ocha,  all ive had to do in the past from the original files was use that '$ nvidia-xconfig  -twinview ' command.
[06:31] <din> ponicg: what's the dialog say when you login?
[06:31] <Jordan_U> n2diy, gconf-editor
[06:31] <Veinor> Why is it that some apps (such as putty) have such a weird, annoying font? and is there any way of changing it?
[06:31] <macogw> Flannel: ah i see.  this is me in "well..it exists..." mode :)
[06:31] <orbisvicis> !find lxdvdrip
[06:31] <ocha> Flannel: how do i save it? and then if i get more errors, ill let you guys know, im already in the hole, why not get a little farer in
[06:31] <dr_willis> putty? heh.
[06:31] <ubotu> Package/file lxdvdrip does not exist in feisty
[06:31] <macogw> ocha: ctrl +o
[06:31] <dr_willis> I recall seeing putty in the repos.. not sue why one would use it over ssh in a terminal.
[06:31] <UbuntuServerUser> I'm having trouble with samba...I set everything up correctly. when I enter in my ip address and connect to the box, I can connect, but when  I try to click the share and it gives me generic windows error " Public is not accessible" wtf? == ALSO i can't see the box under network throught a windows GUI??? HERE is my http://pastebin.ca/596720
[06:31] <n2diy> Jordan_U: Ok, where, /home?
[06:31] <ponicg> din,  That my gnome key configuration differs from my X key configuration (explains how) and if i want to use X or Gnome settings
[06:32] <ponicg> i couldnt' copy it though
[06:32] <macogw> ocha: see the text at the bottom?  "write" means "save" and ^ means "ctrl key"
[06:32] <Flannel> ocha: save with ctrl-o (^O is on the bottom in the bars across, ^ is ctrl).  quit with ^X
[06:32] <Veinor> dr_willis: just an example.
[06:32] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  its possibl theres some windows firewall going on.
[06:32] <specialmoose> is there a soundblaster audigy ubuntu help forum? i want to get my 4.1 speakers working :P
[06:32] <Flannel> Veinor: putty's font would depend on what you picked for it, it's in the configs I believe.  Btu that'd be local on your windows box, linux has nothing to do with that
[06:32] <Jordan_U> n2diy, In a terminal or run dialog run: gconf-editor
[06:32] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  windows can be a pain at times.    sadly. Those using samba books (in samba-doc) give trouble shooting tips
[06:32] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis good point, but I have disabled all that crap, I'm running DD-WRT on my linux box
[06:32] <ocha> macogw: thanks man let me try it
[06:33] <dr_willis> no idea what DD-WRT is
[06:33] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_willis, btw wher can I find those?
[06:33] <ocha> Flannel: let me try it
[06:33] <ponicg> din, got it this time
[06:33] <dr_willis> UbuntuServerUser,  they are in the 'samba-doc' package in the repos
[06:33] <UbuntuServerUser> dr_Willis http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/index.php
[06:33] <dr_willis> !info samba-doc
[06:33] <ubotu> samba-doc: Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.24-2ubuntu1.2 (feisty), package size 6754 kB, installed size 14512 kB
[06:33] <Veinor> Flannel: Nah, there's this font that shows up on a bunch of apps, such as putty; windows isn't entering into the equation here
[06:33] <ocha> how i restart x?
[06:34] <Veinor> ocha: control-alt-backspace
[06:34] <Veinor> that'll kill all of your apps as well
[06:34] <ocha> Veinor: even int he shell?
[06:34] <Flannel> Veinor: putty wouldn't have anything to do with linux at all.  It's entirely local
[06:34] <nirmal> how can i install compiz in Fiesty
[06:35] <dragonmc> hey guys, is there a way to return what a cd's label (name) is in the console?
[06:35] <zcat[1] > anyone here ever set up a (headless) server for tremulous ?
[06:35] <ponicg> Veinor, what does the font look like?
[06:35] <ocha> whats the comand line in the shell to restart
[06:35] <zcat[1] > I know I can just run the game and click 'create server' but that's no good for a 1U rack box..
[06:35] <bobgill1> ocha: sudo shutdown -r (i think)
[06:35] <Fedman> hey guys can anyone reccomend me a good app dor sorting mp3s
[06:36] <Phydoux> ocha, I believe it's reboot
[06:36] <Fedman> for*
[06:36] <UbuntuServerUser> !amrok | Fedman
[06:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about amrok - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:36] <macogw> Fedman: sorting how?  a player/library or a tag-er?
[06:36] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  locate returns tons of stuff on gconf-editor
[06:36] <Fedman> macgow: tagger :)
[06:36] <hd1> /server irc.freenode.net
[06:36] <macogw> Fedman: for a music library, i'm a fan of banshee.  a lot of people like amarok, and ubuntu comes with rhythmbox which works well too
[06:36] <macogw> Fedman: audio tag tool then
[06:36] <Jordan_U> n2diy, It is an application, run it
[06:37] <Veinor> flannel: hmm... maybe a screenshot would help clear things up. see http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/5161/puttyzv0.png
[06:37] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  Ah, ok, danger!
[06:37] <Fedman> macoqw: I'm using amarok but It's abit hard to sort mp3s with it
[06:37] <ocha> bobgill1: thats not working
[06:37] <cactaur> Fedman: EasyTag is a pretty good tagger that I use. Can be installed via synaptic.
[06:38] <Jordan_U> n2diy, Danger?
[06:38] <Knux> Q: how do I enable Identd (for irc) under ubuntu?
[06:38] <hd1> I can play music with gxine but not amarok, it doesn't make any sound, any idea?
[06:38] <bobgill1> ocha: try "reboot"
[06:38] <specialmoose> rythmbox player have an equaliser?
[06:38] <ocha> how do i restart in shel "sudo shutdown -r"
[06:38] <macogw> ocha: sudo rebot
[06:38] <macogw> ocha: sudo reboot
[06:38] <Lo_Pan> reboot
[06:38] <alecwh> Is there any way I can set Compiz Fusion to bootup as indirect rendering?
[06:38] <Jordan_U> ocha, sudo shutdown -r now
[06:38] <macogw> ocha: spell it correctly :)
[06:38] <Flying-Penguin> Ok... here is the poblem.. firefox won't load anywebsites.. it will load http servers on m local net though.
[06:38] <dragonmc> anyone know how i can return an inserted cd's label in the console?
[06:38] <K`zan> Anyone using virtualbox and have problems with it reading the cd to install a guest os?
[06:38] <Fedman> cactaur: Thx looks pretty promising I'll give it a try :)
[06:38] <Flying-Penguin> and it doesn't say cant connect.. just sits there at conecting
[06:38] <ocha> macogw: thanks it works
[06:38] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  Yes, running config stuff is always dicey! I don't know if my OS will be lost in the transporter, or not?
[06:39] <ocha> bobgill1: thanks it work
[06:39] <macogw> Flying-Penguin: proxy?
[06:39] <Jordan_U> Flying-Penguin, Can you ping the outside world?
[06:40] <Flying-Penguin> No I am not on a proxy
[06:40] <Jordan_U> n2diy, ? there is nothing dicey about gconf-editor
[06:40] <Veinor> for some reason, some of my apps show up in a different font: the one in http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/5161/puttyzv0.png . Is there any way to change that?
[06:40] <ocha> how do i use back up of xorg.conf
[06:40] <Flying-Penguin> yes, I can ping google.com and i get abought 80ms when I ping it using ubuntus network tools
[06:40] <Jordan_U> ocha, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup
[06:40] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  OK, I got into it, and I'm into the defaults, wish me luck! :)
[06:40] <macogw> Jordan_U: except that gconf is really confusing (ive been told it was like regedit, but i never used regedit until yesterday, and now i agree)
[06:40] <alecwh> I would like to set Compiz-Fusion to bootup (on system startup) with "indirect rendering". Is this possible?
[06:40] <specialmoose> bye bye rhythmbox, hello Amarok!
[06:41] <waudette> I've loaded Umbutu 7.x to my system in 386 mode and I noticed that it recognises fewer devices than it found in the 64bit OS.  How do I find linux drivers for my ASUS M2V motherboard with ATI 1950GT 512MB Video Card?
[06:41] <macogw> alecwh: if you know what option to pass it on the command line, specify the whole thing in your gnome session
[06:41] <Maxdamantus> Umbutu. :d
[06:41] <alecwh> macogw, I've tried that, it doesn't do it.
[06:41] <Flying-Penguin> Jordan_U: so yah.. I can ping www.google.com
[06:42] <K`zan> Thanks anyway folks, guess virtualbox is not going to work for me :-(.
[06:42] <alecwh> "compiz --replace --indirect-rendering ccp"
[06:42] <alecwh> that's what I have
[06:42] <Veinor> specialmoose: piece of advice: as far as I know, there's no way to change what program the 'launch default music player' shortcut will boot, so go to /usr/bin and 'sudo mv rhythmbox rhythmboxx; sudo ln amarok rhythmbox'

[06:42] <macogw> alecwh: did you just put compiz-fusion (or whatever you type to launch it) or include an option that makes it use indirect rendering?
[06:42] <alecwh> Yes, macogw. I have this in my session preferences: "compiz --replace --indirect-rendering ccp"
[06:42] <Flying-Penguin> Jordan_U: infact.. I can even connect to irc.freenode.net on irssi.. 0o as I am doing right now

[06:43] <Jordan_U> Flying-Penguin, :)
[06:43] <macogw> alecwh: ... you have to --replace in session?   i dont have c-f (just beryl), but i never have to --replace, just "beryl"
[06:43] <macogw> alecwh: for session startup, i mean.  if metacity's already running, i might have to....

[06:43] <alecwh> be right back...
[06:44] <slestak> anyone know a mail client that can enable a particular mail account only if a particular connection is established? ie, only check work mail if vpn is active?  Evolution doesnt appear to do anything like this.
[06:44] <NemesisD> im helping somebody set up their network connection, how do we find out what our ip address is (if we are getting one)?
[06:44] <Flannel> NemesisD: ifconfig
[06:44] <Jordan_U> NemesisD, ifconfig
[06:44] <alecwh> macogw, this: "compiz  --indirect-rendering ccp"
[06:44] <alecwh> right?
[06:44] <compengi> anyone here knows how to work with iptables?
[06:44] <NemesisD> Flannel, Jordan_U thanks :)
[06:44] <Fedman> cactaur: Tank you it's great :D
[06:44] <macogw> alecwh: try it *Shrug* cant hurt anything
[06:44] <alecwh> ok
[06:44] <specialmoose> crap, i think i just killed administrative tools
[06:44] <cactaur> Fedman: no problem
[06:45] <alecwh> macogw, do I need to restart my PC, or just X server.
[06:45] <macogw> alecwh: just X should be fine
[06:45] <Knux> Q : anyone knows how to use pidentd on ubuntu? I installed it but I stuck there
[06:46] <Veinor> for some reason, some of my apps show up in a different font: the one in http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/5161/puttyzv0.png . Is there any way to change that?
[06:46] <alecwh> No luck, macogw.
[06:46] <Flying-Penguin> Jordan_U: any ideas?
[06:46] <macogw> alecwh: have you tried asking in #ubuntu-effects?
[06:46] <alecwh> I will.
[06:46] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  OK, I can't play there, had to back out and gksudo in.
[06:46] <Jordan_U> Flying-Penguin, No :(
[06:46] <Flying-Penguin> Jordan_U: 0o I am also on wireless...
[06:47] <NemesisD> for some reason network settings isn't letting me add any dns servers, anyone know why that may be?
[06:47] <Jordan_U> n2diy, It should be a user specific preference
[06:48] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  Well, everything was ghosted out, now I'm in, exploring.
[06:52] <alecwh> Hello, sorry, my computer is being weird. Anyway, I want to boot up "Compiz Fusion" on startup. However, I also need to to start Compiz Fusion with INDIRECT RENDERING. I have already put this in to my session manager: "compiz  --indirect-rendering ccp", and that didn't give me luck. Any ideas/help?
[06:52] <orbisvicis> !find lxdvd
[06:52] <ubotu> Package/file lxdvd does not exist in feisty
[06:53] <Flannel> alecwh: #ubuntu-effects for compiz support
[06:53] <alecwh> Flannel, I tried there. Nobody's home. :(
[06:53] <Flannel> alecwh: try #beryl
[06:53] <macogw> Flannel: thats the wrong channel
[06:53] <ocha> Jordan_U: hey man, after typing in "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ./etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup" do i just do a restart? and will the shell tell me anythiing if i did it correnty?
[06:53] <NemesisD> now its not letting me add any connections in network settings
[06:53] <macogw> alecwh: #compiz-fusion
[06:54] <NemesisD> and still wont let me put in a dns address
[06:54] <homanj> ocha: what are you trying to do? i came into the convo late.
[06:54] <alecwh> Thanks Flannel, macogw.
[06:54] <OmegaCenti_> Flannel: Always the helpful one eh
[06:55] <Jordan_U> ocha, All that does is copy the file, no need to restart, and it won't give any output if it worked
[06:55] <OmegaCenti_> Anybody want to tackle my problem with system beep?
[06:55] <din> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop and then try startx to test it
[06:55] <NemesisD> does anybody know why i would not be able to add any dns servers in network settings?
[06:55] <OmegaCenti_> I just want to hear the sweet piezoelectric buzz of my PC... :(
[06:55] <ocha> homanj: i tryed getting tv out and my monitor to work throiugh changin the xorg.conf, it didn't end too pretty, now im trying to get my old setting back, becausee the x server won't start
[06:55] <din> NemesisD: add them manually /etc/resolv.conf
[06:56] <smultron> anyone familiar with the pine email client?
[06:56] <NemesisD> din whats the syntax on that?
[06:56] <din> ocha: ah, you don't have X started as of yet
[06:56] <gumpish> is there a command to view filesystem activity?
[06:56] <Flannel> smultron: Pine isn't Free.  mutt is the free alternative.
[06:56] <homanj> ocha: there is command to reconfigure x
[06:56] <din> NemesisD: nameserver 1.2.3.4
[06:56] <smultron> Flannel: you mean free as in speech?
[06:57] <ocha> Jordan_U: it aint working though, when it copys, how do i start the xserver up
[06:57] <Jordan_U> !xconfig | ocha
[06:57] <ubotu> ocha: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[06:57] <n2diy> Jordan_U:  Well, I'm still having permission problems, but I think you've set me on the rigtht path.
[06:57] <din> ocha: try this "sudo X -configure"
[06:57] <din> that should get you a working config
[06:57] <din> and then cp the test config that it makes for you to /etc/X11
[06:58] <Flannel> smultron: I do.  pine can't legally (usefully) be in Ubuntu
[06:58] <ocha> din, then what? start the x server?
[06:59] <din> ocha: after you get it copied into X11, run startx to test it. you can kill that session with ctrl+alt+bkspace.
[06:59] <din> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start will give you a login screen.
[06:59] <n2diy> Flannel:  smultron, long live Pico, may it rest in peace.
[07:00] <ocha> din, what would i type to copy it over?
[07:00] <din> ocha: do you have the name of the file it created for you?
[07:00] <smultron> n2diy: what's that mean? (sorry, i'm slow :P )
[07:00] <drama1981> hello. im prepairing to move to ubuntu from fedora. however i have a few questions.
[07:01] <drama1981> is there an expert install option?
[07:01] <ocha> /home/midori/xcon.conf.new i think
[07:01] <n2diy> Flannel:  smultron,  pico was the editor that was part of the pine package.
[07:01] <NemesisD> din, ok anything that i need to do now that that file is saved?
[07:02] <ocha> din xorg.conf.new
[07:02] <Flannel> drama1981: on the alternate CD, yes
[07:02] <din> ocha: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup && sudo cp /home/midori/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:02] <ocha> din i think
[07:02] <krinns> hi all
[07:02] <krinns> any one works on SRSS with ubuntu
[07:02] <specialmoose> whats a good mp3 player for ubuntu that has an equalizer?
[07:02] <drama1981> umm how do i know which one i have? i have the dvd
[07:02] <smultron> n2diy: oh, so they're both non-free, then, right?
[07:02] <din> specialmoose: amarok
[07:02] <okaratas> hello
[07:02] <din> :)
[07:02] <specialmoose> din, i cant get mp3's to work
[07:02] <specialmoose> din, damn app keeps crashing/not working
[07:02] <din> specialmoose: you are missing codecs then
[07:02] <ocha> din which one? or both
[07:02] <Flannel> smultron: pico is also non-Free, yes.  nano is the equivalent.  pico/pine, nano/mutt
[07:02] <din> specialmoose: which app?
[07:03] <Strangelv> Jordan_U: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh doesn't fix my problem of three FUBAR video modes that I can't get to work or get rid of (640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768) on my 1280x768 LCD display.  If I remove them from the menu they appear anyway and don't work; if I leave them checked they still don't work.  Are there any keywords I should try searching for before filing a bug report?
[07:03] <specialmoose> din, amarok
[07:03] <orbisvicis> !find ldvdnav
[07:03] <din> ocha: both
[07:03] <ubotu> Package/file ldvdnav does not exist in feisty
[07:03] <din> the && makes the second one run directly after the first
[07:03] <smultron> Flannel: oh, gotcha
[07:03] <veneboy> Hi.
[07:03] <din> specialmoose: run amarok from a terminal
[07:03] <din> and see what error it gives you
[07:03] <n2diy> Flannel:  smultron,  license issues, haven't seen pico, or pine, in a number of years. Nano replaced pico, and you probably have that.
[07:04] <navets> hey i need some help
[07:04] <pdxkid> hi all - google let me down.  how can i show the speed of my SATA hard drive (feisty)
[07:04] <specialmoose> din, a bunch lol
[07:04] <navets> how can i burn an .avi to be played on a regular dvd player
[07:04] <Flannel> drama1981: DVD has both installation methods, so yes.  expert mode available on that too
[07:04] <pdxkid> dmesg makes it look like 2 of my SATA drives are running at 3.0g and 2 are at 1.5
[07:04] <pdxkid> i want to sort that out
[07:04] <din> specialmoose: like?
[07:04] <Strangelv> specialmoose: good MP3 player with eq: XMMS

[07:05] <alecwh> navets, try "DeeVeeDee"
[07:05] <alecwh> in the reps.
[07:05] <alecwh> repos*
[07:05] <din> ocha: you can kill that X session when it starts with ctrl+alt+bkspc
[07:05] <ocha> din thanks, let me try it
[07:05] <smultron> n2diy or Flannel: do either of you know how to set up mutt or pine with a simple IMAP account? I open both applications and they both seem to be assuming i've already set up a config file elsewhere or something.
[07:05] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: ifdown ath0
[07:06] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, tried that aswell
[07:06] <din> specialmoose: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[07:06] <drama1981> ok Flannel i just noticed that (hit f1). it says to enter expert in the command line. do i have to remove the whole command line then type expert or how do i do it? im used to fedora and just typing expert
[07:06] <n2diy> smultron: nope
[07:06] <ocha> din, i got my desktop back, the colors bad, should i restall my video drivers? or just uise the desktop or whatever ya know what i mean?
[07:06] <smultron> n2diy: ok, thanks
[07:06] <specialmoose> din, ok, posting... rhythmbox works fine but no damn eq :P
[07:06] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: sure it is ath0?
[07:06] <NemesisD> din, what do i need to do after i save that file? the network settings is acting weird, those dns servers showed up and then just disappeared
[07:06] <specialmoose> din, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27904/
[07:07] <Flannel> drama1981: I'm not sure exactly.
[07:07] <logan_> I am trying to watch a movie full screen, and am having lagging problems, do I need graphics drivers? I never installed any, using the ubuntu software stuff
[07:07] <noble> Hey smultron, I'm trying to figure out the same thing
[07:07] <din> ocha: get into your desktop, and pastebin your xorg.conf for me
[07:07] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, yeah
[07:07] <thefallenarchang> before installing madwifi does the restriced driver need to beremoved??
[07:07] <drama1981> ok ty. ill try google then
[07:07] <Flannel> drama1981: it'll be something like that though.  What "remove whole command line" are you talking about?
[07:07] <smultron> noble: you getting anywhere?
[07:07] <Jordan_U> logan_, What GFX card do you have?
[07:07] <logan_> ATI radeon
[07:07] <specialmoose> din, btw, i did install gstreamer0.8. something off apt-get
[07:07] <noble> smultron, nope not yet
[07:07] <Jordan_U> logan_, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[07:07] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: ok, what does ifup ath0 tell you?
[07:07] <smultron> noble: i'm heading over to #mutt to see if they can help
[07:08] <specialmoose> din, gstreamer0.8-mad
[07:08] <din> specialmoose: give me a sec
[07:08] <noble> good idea smultron
[07:08] <Jordan_U> specialmoose, You want gstreamer0.10
[07:08] <veneboy> can i use alt+tab while dragging an icon in gnome?
[07:08] <drama1981> well if i select say text mode and hit f6 it lets me edit the boot commands. wasnt sure if i do something there or not
[07:08] <logan_> "Your hardware doesn't need restricted drivers"
[07:08] <orbisvicis> !find streamdvd
[07:08] <ocha_> !pastebin
[07:08] <ubotu> Package/file streamdvd does not exist in feisty
[07:08] <din> NemesisD: have you tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ?
[07:08] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:08] <specialmoose> Jordan_U, how do i search apt-get to see if its there or not
[07:08] <veneboy> can i assign an icon to a shell script in gnome, so that i can see it in the "Run application" dialog?
[07:09] <NemesisD> din, trying that now
[07:09] <logan_> does that mean it is using my graphics card automatically or it just doesn't have anything it doesnt know what it is...?
[07:09] <Jordan_U> specialmoose, apt-cache search <whatever>
[07:09] <ocha_> !pastbin
[07:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pastbin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <logan_> Because I can't watch a video at all without it lagging, and I could in windows.
[07:09] <Flannel> drama1981: no, I don't believe that's it.  But, well, I suppose it might be.  You want to boot to the textmode installer, with the expert config.  I haven't installed in a while, bit rusty.
[07:09] <din> specialmoose: try this: sudo /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure amarok
[07:09] <matt2292> I'm setting up a computer to act as a server, so it will not have any monitors attached to it. I still need x server running because i control it via VNC, but if i try to boot without a monitor connected, i get the xserver fatal error "no screens detected" and so it will not start. My question is, how can i get x server to ignore the fact i have no physical monitor and still start up anyway?
[07:09] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, ifup: interface ath0 already configured
[07:09] <eboyjr> How do you edit the "Places" tab/menu on the File Browser???
[07:09] <drama1981> ok ty
[07:10] <smultron> noble: http:wiki.mutt.org is where i'm at now. maybe it will help
[07:10] <Jordan_U> eboyjr, alacarte or gconf-editor
[07:10] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: Can you ping it's IP?
[07:10] <dr_willis> matt2292,  you can set up vnc and not need a X server running.
[07:10] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, note: im using the wireless right now, no other option, so i need to know what to try when im off.
[07:10] <smultron> noble: http://wiki.mutt.org/?MuttGuide
[07:10] <Amaranth> Jordan_U: neither, actually
[07:10] <dr_willis> matt2292,  vnc can run tottaly in the background. You dont have to share the 'currently seen' desktop.
[07:10] <orbisvicis> !find dvdnav
[07:10] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, but i have tried when not connected
[07:10] <noble> thanks for the link smultron
[07:10] <ubotu> Found: libdvdnav-dev, libdvdnav4
[07:10] <specialmoose> din, typed command, didnt do anything
[07:10] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: Can you ping it's IP?
[07:10] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, would this NetworkManager applet have anything to do with it?
[07:10] <DavidCraft_> yes i can ping its ip...
[07:10] <dr_willis> matt2292,  you may need to configure the 'vncserver' settings a little bit. there was a buglet or 2 in them last i looked.
[07:10] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: Can you ping it's IP?
[07:11] <DavidCraft_> yes i can ping its ip...
[07:11] <din> specialmoose: sure it did. see if it amarok will work now.
[07:11] <specialmoose> din, same thing
[07:11] <din> aack
[07:11] <din> ok, gimme a bit
[07:11] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: Can you ping it's IP, with no failures?
[07:11] <drama1981> also does 3d acceleration actually work on ati cards? it doesnt with my current distro because the version of x is too new
[07:12] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, no failures so far... i dont see how this has anything to do with bringing it down
[07:12] <matt2292> dr_willis: is there an easier way? I'm running x11vnc because vncserver dosent seem to work with xfce, and i currently have it configured to login automatically and just use one desktop.
[07:12] <NemesisD> din, i get errors, rtnetlink no such process, theres already a pid file, and so on and soforth, it seems to be releasing the ip but then we get eth1 errors no such device, theres already a pid file, this is all foreign to me
[07:12] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: We need to know that you can talk to it.
[07:12] <ocha_> din, ya there?
[07:13] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, ok. now what?
[07:13] <din> ocha_: yes
[07:13] <dr_willis> matt2292,  the 'issue' is that the default vncserver dosent read the users  .vnc/xstartup like it used to do. You can configure vncserver to do so.. and launch xfce from that file.
[07:13] <veneboy> can you use alt+tab in gnome while dragging an icon (nautilus --> application)?
[07:13] <ocha_> din, what wast he website?
[07:13] <ocha_> din, pastebin?
[07:13] <din> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[07:13] <dr_willis> matt2292,  what i normally do is 'ssh' to the box and start vncserver. X doisent need to be running at all.
[07:13] <veneboy> can you assign an icon to a shell script so that you can see it in the  "Run application" dialog?
[07:14] <dr_willis> matt2292,  ive twiddled and played with vnc for years. :) its a very flexiable tool. but the default setup  under feisty seems to be a little bit bugged. :(
[07:14] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: sudo ifdown ath0   ?
[07:14] <ocha_> din, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27905/
[07:14] <DavidCraft_> n2diy, one sec, i might disconnect.
[07:15] <n2diy> DavidCraft_: roger
[07:15] <specialmoose> curious what input device 169 is
[07:15] <xenex> What program do you guys suggest to play .divx files?
[07:15] <mrigns> specialmoose: wacom
[07:15] <specialmoose> lol why is amarok trying to open that up
[07:15] <specialmoose> i dont have one
[07:16] <matt2292> dr_wilis: ok thanks, i spent a while trying to set it up because i only knew how to get it to work with gnome, and i have no idea right now how to set up vnc to run without x server but still use my default desktop
[07:16] <din> NemesisD: sudo rm /var/run/dhclient* && sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[07:16] <din> try that
[07:16] <din> ocha_: you don't have a default depth defined
[07:16] <din> or resolution
[07:16] <veneboy> xenex: i like mplayer. totem is the default.
[07:16] <mrigns> specialmoose: it's enabled in the xorg.conf
[07:16] <matt2292> dr_willis: i hate how seemingly small and irrelivant errors make you have to start all over again
[07:17] <ocha_> din, how i set that up?
[07:17] <NemesisD> din, still getting a mess of errors
[07:17] <din> ocha_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27907/
[07:18] <din> NemesisD: pastebin them
[07:18] <din> ocha_: check the bottom under Section "Screen"
[07:18] <din> you'll see the added settings
[07:18] <dr_willis> matt2292,  :)  I find that 'vnc4server' works better for me.. It seems to work  'how i expect it to'
[07:18] <din> add them to yours, and restart X
[07:18] <veneboy> xenex: mplayer is nice because you don 't need to install extra codecs. they're all included.
[07:18] <NemesisD> din, im doing this over the phone, is there a way to tell if the device is working/being detected before i explain how pastebin works for him?
[07:18] <specialmoose> well when i click on a song in amarok, it doesnt do anything then the "no mp3 playback support" window pops up and the entire app crashes
[07:18] <dr_willis> matt2292,  it will make a .vnc/xstartup script that you can tewek and run whatever you want to when you spawn 'vncserver'
[07:18] <specialmoose> should i just reinstall it?
[07:19] <veneboy> xenex:there is also xine.
[07:19] <xenex> veneboy, well i was playing divx stuff with vlc and it was fine but it would freeze from time to time
[07:19] <matt2292> ok
[07:19] <xenex> veneboy, and mplayer never works for me unless its the mozilla plugin
[07:19] <NemesisD> din, also he has no network connectivity so pastebin will be difficult
[07:19] <din> NemesisD: sudo dmesg
[07:19] <din> NemesisD: this is true lol
[07:20] <NemesisD> din, nevermind for now, the quitter just said he has to go to sleep
[07:20] <veneboy> xenex: hm... strange. it works ok for me -- feisty fawn. i use just the command line...
[07:20] <din> lol
[07:20] <NemesisD> but im sure ill be back :)
[07:20] <ocha_> din, what about it?
[07:20] <veneboy> xenex: mplayer file.avi
[07:20] <din> sounds like he's having major issues
[07:20] <xenex> veneboy, i'm streaming the divx movies
[07:20] <chaosmystic> can anyone tell me the best Web Design IDE (other then Nvu) for Ubuntu 7.04?
[07:20] <din> ocha_: see the parts i added in the very bottom section
[07:20] <NemesisD> yes
[07:20] <NemesisD> catch you guys later
[07:20] <din> cya
[07:20] <matt2292> dr_willis: would it be easier to replace my installation of xubuntu with ubuntu server and start from there?
[07:21] <specialmoose> hmm
[07:21] <specialmoose> well amarok is buggy for me
[07:21] <veneboy> xenex: where from?
[07:21] <specialmoose> maybe i can wine itunes
[07:21] <specialmoose> :P
[07:21] <dr_willis> matt2292,  i dont see why you need to.
[07:21] <chaosmystic> I got Photoshop 7 to work under WINE
[07:21] <xenex> veneboy, http://divx-042.vo.llnwd.net/stage6vid/1256419.divx
[07:21] <dr_willis> matt2292,  you can run 'vncserver' without X running at all. Ive had a fileserver with no monitor that way for ages...
[07:22] <din> specialmoose: one sec
[07:22] <bruenig> !bluefish | Strangelv
[07:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bluefish - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:22] <ocha_> din, just copy and paste in the xorg.conf
[07:22] <bruenig> !info bluefish | Strangelv
[07:22] <ubotu> strangelv: bluefish: advanced Gtk+ HTML editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.7-1 (feisty), package size 1570 kB, installed size 6724 kB
[07:22] <xenex> veneboy, looks like it is working well in xine
[07:22] <Strangelv> "I believe he'sneding it for Edgy
[07:22] <specialmoose> din, im going to try and reinstall it
[07:22] <din> ocha_: yes
[07:22] <din> specialmoose: you are having soundcard issues
[07:22] <din> specialmoose: try this
[07:22] <specialmoose> nvm, i cant uninstall it ubuntu wont let me lol
[07:23] <din> sudo asoundconf reset-default-card
[07:23] <din> then give it a shot
[07:23] <chaosmystic> Can Bluefish work with AJAX?
[07:23] <matt2292> dr_willis: so should i replace x11vnc with vncserver?
[07:23] <gluttony> where do i need to go get gaim help? i keep getting a connection timeout error
[07:23] <ocha_> din, how i open xorg.conf through terminal?
[07:23] <chaosmystic> vncserver is quicker or you could always setup apache
[07:24] <din> ocha_: you can't use gedit?
[07:24] <krinns> heloo
[07:24] <dr_willis> matt2292,  you can have botyh installed at the same time. I USE vncserver. I dont share the currently running desktop ( thats what x11vnc does)
[07:24] <krinns> any onw works on SRSS
[07:24] <din> gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:24] <krinns> Sunray
[07:24] <ocha_> over xorg.conf? the orginal file?
[07:24] <specialmoose> din, nope
[07:24] <veneboy> xenex: never done that.  I wrote mplayer your url in a terminal and am seeing the stream
[07:24] <din> specialmoose: same errors?
[07:24] <veneboy> xenex: so it's working...
[07:24] <specialmoose> din,  yup
[07:24] <dr_willis> matt2292,  i tend to 'ssh' to the remote box. run vncserver, and then on the local box. run the vncclient i want to connect to it.
[07:24] <din> specialmoose: try it without the sudo
[07:25] <xenex> veneboy, mplayer freezes when i try ;\ also it doesn't play any other video files that i have on my hd
[07:25] <veneboy> xenex: mac farlane stuff.... cool...!
[07:25] <veneboy> xenex: i don't know why... here it's working well.
[07:25] <veneboy> i'm watching it.
[07:26] <dr_willis> night all
[07:26] <veneboy> xenex: ubuntu feisty?
[07:26] <matt2292> dr_willis: ok well i know how to set it up where i can log into a session not already started on the server using a port other than the current screen, is that how i would configure it?
[07:26] <ocha_> din, i think i did it. now what? restart?
[07:26] <xenex> veneboy, yep
[07:26] <specialmoose> din, nope, it wont even let me use its "install mp3 support" because it crashes out
[07:26] <din> ocha yep
[07:26] <Strangelv> "The mainone I've tried so far is Scream, and I don't knowif that does AJAX.  It does have a Javascript IDE, but I've not reinstalled it lately as I had problems before with breaking dependancies (it's very Gnome centric and I'm running KDE)
[07:27] <Strangelv> "Mostly I just used it for the Javascript IDE
[07:27] <matt2292> dr_willis: VNC that is, then start vnc from ssh and then login
[07:27] <chaosmystic> Thanks Strangelv
[07:27] <matt2292> dr_willis: i think it was logging in from XDMCP or something
[07:27] <ocha_> din,  brb
[07:28] <specialmoose> din, so, ubuntu wont let me uninstall it, says something is needing it
[07:29] <chaosmystic> you might try finding a ubuntu friendly version of Aptana
[07:29] <veneboy> bye all. time to sleep.
[07:29] <din> specialmoose: you could try rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok but be warned it will completely remove all amarok configuration for your user
[07:30] <ocha_> din, yea...
[07:30] <din> ocha_: looking better?
[07:30] <specialmoose> din, well what could possibly be using amarok in the installer (add/remove) that wouldnt allow me to uninstall it from th ere?
[07:30] <ocha_> din, make, it looks kinda wired. i think i shoudl reinstall my drivers?
[07:30] <Chavao> Hello newbies Ubuntusers
[07:30] <ocha_> din, it looks the same
[07:30] <din> ocha_: go for the nvidia drivers
[07:30] <Strangelv> My problem is that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh (suggested by Jordan_U) doesn't fix my problem of three FUBAR video modes that I can't get to work or get rid of (640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768) on my 1280x768 LCD display.  If I remove them from the menu they appear anyway and don't work; if I leave them checked they still don't work.  Are there any keywords I should try searching for before filing a bug report?
[07:31] <Strangelv> "They seem hardwired and it doesn't matter whether they're listed in xorg.conf -- you have them whether they work or not
[07:31] <ocha_> nvidia-xconfig -twinview
[07:31] <Strangelv> "My video is S3
[07:32] <matt2292> dr_willis: thanks i think i got it
[07:32] <Strangelv> UniChrome Pro somethingorother
[07:32] <din> ocha_: do you already have the nvidia drivers installed?
[07:32] <din> ocha_: lsmod|grep -i "idia"
[07:33] <dfgas_> compiz fusion is kickarse
[07:34] <channel200> any X11 or gnome experts available? My system just crashed on power failure and now logs out of X11/gnome sessions immediately after login. Any suggestions on cleanup/diagnosis procedures?
[07:34] <Strangelv> Alternatively, does anyone know a way to lock a mode so that no fullscreen application will be able to change the display?
[07:34] <din> channel200: grep "EE" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:35] <Strangelv> could it be a configulation issue?  do you have an older version of xorg.cong, et c?  That's all I can think of
[07:35] <gnychis> how do i restart ALSA?
[07:35] <DavidCraft2> how do I connect to a wireless connection without the network manager applet?
[07:35] <ocha_> din, i did before my xserver failed
[07:35] <Strangelv> You can restart ALSA under System Settings
[07:36] <din> gnychis: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[07:36] <Jordan_U> DavidCraft2, iwcofig
[07:36] <ant-> DavidCraft2, iwconfig
[07:36] <din> ocha_: they should still be there
[07:36] <Strangelv> I believe you can also reset ALSA with sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[07:36] <zcat[1] > mulous
[07:36] <din> in your video card section of xorg.conf change Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia"
[07:36] <ocha_> i don't it looks really quit, text, and colors are kinda off
[07:36] <channel200> din: I found some results. what next?
[07:36] <ocha_> din, i don't it looks really quit, text, and colors are kinda off
[07:36] <ocha_> din, ill try a reboot
[07:37] <din> ocha ocha ocha *sigh*
[07:37] <channel200> din: some complaints that /dev/input/wacom can't be opened
[07:37] <DavidCraft2> thanks
[07:37] <Chikubu> which nvidia drivers should i get for a geoforce 5200 in a fresh ubuntu install?
[07:37] <Charles_Xavier> Hi, Can you host servers on ubuntu, or is ubuntu not for that purpose? I was thinking of hosting maybe a web server or a IRC server for a few friends
[07:38] <Charles_Xavier> would freebsd be better for servers?
[07:38] <dfgas_> Charles_Xavier, they do make ubuntu server
[07:38] <Charles_Xavier> yes, but is desktop edition good enough
[07:38] <channel200> Charles_Xavier: if you like ubuntu it's just fine for servers
[07:38] <Chikubu> i would imagine any linux can be a server
[07:38] <Charles_Xavier> the regular home redition
[07:38] <Chikubu> including ubuntu
[07:38] <Charles_Xavier> Do i have to use the server edition to host servers?
[07:38] <pyrak> is it a bad idea to reformat my windows partition and reinstall windows with the windows install disc?  will it be extremely difficult to restore grub?
[07:38] <dfgas_> you wouldn't tend to use a desktop version for a server
[07:38] <channel200> Charles_Xavier: no
[07:38] <Jordan_U> Chikubu, Just use restricted driver manager
[07:39] <din> channel200: those are pretty common and most likely not your problem
[07:39] <dfgas_> but you could have it do the same
[07:39] <Charles_Xavier> so if i run a server, would it work pretty much the same
[07:39] <Charles_Xavier> or would the performance drop if im not using server edition
[07:39] <zcat[1] > I always put a GUI on my servers.. makes them easier to admin..
[07:39] <channel200> din: nothing else appears in the log that looks like a problem
[07:39] <dfgas_> Charles_Xavier, no gui
[07:39] <dfgas_> but sure
[07:39] <dfgas_> default install
[07:39] <Charles_Xavier> are you using the server edition?
[07:39] <zcat[1] > and it's not like a swapped-out gdm uses any resources
[07:39] <gluttony> since the gaim room is usless, im gonna ask if anyone here has been having problems with the program?
[07:39] <dfgas_> no
[07:39] <ant-> Charles_Xavier, the server edition just has some added flags to the kernel
[07:39] <Chikubu> ok thnx
[07:40] <dfgas_> Charles_Xavier, i am testing out windows home server for now
[07:40] <Jordan_U> ant-, I am not even sure of that much
[07:40] <ocha_> din, it's back to normal i think
[07:40] <Charles_Xavier> why does everyone say that ubuntu is for noobs
[07:40] <din> channel200: try this, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop. then when you get to a login promt, login and issue the command startx. if it crashes, you will see some errors as to why.
[07:40] <Charles_Xavier> lol
[07:40] <ocha_> din, it looks normal i mean
[07:40] <dfgas_> Charles_Xavier, other than that my mac usually is my file server
[07:40] <ocha_> din, thanks man.  ^^
[07:40] <legalsized2> Hi all, I'm trying to get 6.06 LTS to work as a web server. I installed ISPConfig. Somewhere I've seem to have blocked my Firefox from working. Is there a firewall setting that won't let me out, that blocks port 80 or something?
[07:40] <pyrak> gluttony, i have problems with its UI, i use meebo.com and xchat instead, hope that helps
[07:40] <din> ocha_: you will still need to change to the nvidia driver in xorg.conf
[07:40] <zcat[1] > desktop kernels have pre-empt to make them more responsive...
[07:40] <din> and you are welcome
[07:40] <Charles_Xavier> every forum i went on, everyone flames at me if i tell them im using ubuntu, they keep repeating like 100 times its for noobs etc etc
[07:40] <zcat[1] > that's basically all afaik..
[07:40] <ocha_> din, how?
[07:41] <dfgas_> Charles_Xavier, then ask them why it is number 1
[07:41] <din> in the video card section of your xorg.conf, change Driver "nv" to Driver "nvidia"
[07:41] <Jordan_U> Charles_Xavier, ubuntuforums.org
[07:41] <din> and restart X :)
[07:41] <dfgas_> :D
[07:41] <ocha_> din, brb
[07:41] <din> k
[07:41] <gluttony> pyrak, my problem is my connection is timing out, and in windows i get socket error 10060
[07:42] <Charles_Xavier> be honest though, im asking a question that will help me, in your opinions, would you use ubuntu or freebsd for servers
[07:42] <specialmoose> so why is it that rhytmebox and all other mp3 players work but amarok doesnt? :(
[07:42] <legalsized2> Hi all, I'm trying to get 6.06 LTS to work as a web server. I installed ISPConfig. Somewhere I've seem to have blocked my Firefox from working. Is there a firewall setting that won't let me out, what can I check to find out?
[07:42] <Chikubu> what is your server or servers going to do first of all
[07:42] <din> specialmoose: did you try removing that directory?
[07:42] <Charles_Xavier> IRC
[07:42] <Charles_Xavier> and web server
[07:43] <dfgas_> Charles_Xavier, i don't know freebsd so i would use ubuntu, i have been using ubuntu for a long tim
[07:43] <dfgas_> etime
[07:43] <specialmoose> din, amarok?
[07:43] <ant-> legalsized2, iptables
[07:43] <eboyjr> What's the C:\Program Files of Ubuntu?
[07:43] <Chikubu> what load are you looking at, if its just light http and chat really anything will do
[07:43] <Charles_Xavier> I'm on a 100mbit line from work, so i can basically host any server on earth, but im just looking for a stable linux that works best with servers... any suggestions?
[07:43] <legalsized2> How do I reset my iptables?
[07:43] <ant-> legalsized2, man iptables
[07:43] <din> specialmoose: yes. rm -rf ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok/ it will completely destroy your amarok config however
[07:43] <legalsized2> thanks, off to try it
[07:43] <pyrak> i formatted an external HD with ext3 and when i connect it it says i dont have permission to view it... how do i fix this?
[07:43] <Charles_Xavier> pyrak,
[07:43] <Charles_Xavier> heres the answer
[07:43] <DavidCraft2> hey I changed my mac and now I cannot get a wireless connection, what is going wrong?
[07:44] <specialmoose> din, lol could careless about the config, doesnt even work to start with
[07:44] <din> you'll have to re-set it up
[07:44] <din> heh
[07:44] <din> specialmoose: well it may work
[07:44] <Chikubu> im still pondering the idea that an os is seperate from a server...i guess thats somewhat true
[07:44] <Charles_Xavier> pyrak : go to terminal and type: sudo chown -R /media/HDNAME
[07:44] <din> worth a shot if it doesn't work to begin with
[07:44] <Charles_Xavier> replace hd name with ur hd name
[07:44] <specialmoose> din, cant i just uninstall from synaptic package manager?
[07:44] <ocha_> din, driver section?
[07:44] <din> how is that going to make it work?
[07:44] <din> :)
[07:44] <nirmal> my desktop effect is not enabling
[07:44] <dfgas_>  am out later
[07:44] <Charles_Xavier> pyrak : go to terminal and type: sudo chown -R linux07 /media/HDNAME
[07:44] <Charles_Xavier> or whatever ur user is
[07:45] <Chikubu> Charles_Xavier: your making to big a fuss over the linux version, they are all linux and all handle being a server
[07:45] <pyrak> Charles_Xavier, well i've been going sudo nautilus and changing the permissions for "other"
[07:45] <pyrak> but it seems to forget each time i take the drive our
[07:45] <pyrak> out*
[07:45] <eboyjr> nirmal: Your graphics card must not be good enough.
[07:45] <Jamesinator> How do I configure Evolution Mail to use a proxy?
[07:45] <Charles_Xavier> pyrak,
[07:45] <din> ocha_: Section "Device"
[07:45] <Charles_Xavier> add it into fstab
[07:45] <Flannel> pyrak: gksu nautilus, not sudo nautilus.
[07:45] <din> you'll see Driver "nv"
[07:45] <Charles_Xavier> no use sudo
[07:45] <pyrak> flannel, oh, whats the difference?
[07:45] <Charles_Xavier> Flannel is trying to hack you, dont listen to him
[07:45] <Charles_Xavier> :x
[07:45] <Flannel> Charles_Xavier: no.  gksu for graphical apps.
[07:45] <pyrak> flannel, and is gksu diff from gksudo?
[07:45] <dfgas_> pyrak, chmod 777 /media/blah -R   with give evryone read and write access for all files on that harddrive
[07:45] <ocha_> din, it's set to that by default
[07:46] <Flannel> pyrak: not after dapper, no.
[07:46] <ocha_> din, anything else?
[07:46] <din> ocha_: make sure opengl is working
[07:46] <Flannel> Charles_Xavier: If you're not going to be helpful, don't.
[07:46] <pyrak> flannel, whats the fidd between sudo and gksudo?
[07:46] <ocha_> din, how i do that?
[07:46] <din> i'd run glxinfo |grep -i render in a terminal
[07:46] <pyrak> flannel *diff
[07:46] <din> if yes then you are good to go
[07:46] <specialmoose> does itunes work in wine?
[07:46] <ant-> !gksudo
[07:46] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[07:46] <Flannel> pyrak: gksu is for graphical apps.  It sets up the environment more appropriately for graphical apps, if you use sudo, you sometimes run into permission problems later (stuff in ~ owned by root)
[07:46] <specialmoose> seriously :P
[07:47] <DavidCraft2> I have told it through iwconfig to connect and it acts as though it is going to connect but I do not get an IP.  Any ideas?
[07:47] <Jamesinator> specialmoose: You should check Wine's AppDB at: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[07:47] <krinns> hi alll
[07:47] <ant-> DavidCraft2, dhcp?
[07:48] <krinns> when i download emails attatchements from evolution
[07:48] <DavidCraft2> it would appear that that is the issure however I believe that that is all set up
[07:48] <DavidCraft2> this just mysteriusly happened when I changed my mac
[07:48] <krinns> say for eg marking paln.doc it save it as marketing%plan.doc
[07:49] <krinns> any idea it wont recognize space
[07:49] <krinns> any way to solve this
[07:49] <gnychis> whats the proper way to install flash player for firefox so that its the newest version without the sound delay?
[07:49] <pyrak> flannel, one more question, is it possible to make a backup copy of my hd including all system files while im booted from the hard drive?
[07:49] <Flannel> !backup | pyrak
[07:49] <ubotu> pyrak: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[07:50] <eboyjr> Where's the Program Files of Ubuntu? For example, the searchplugin folder for Firefox.
[07:50] <pyrak> flannel, yeah ive tried a few of those and theyre all missing features/too confusing
[07:50] <Flannel> pyrak: yeah.  You'll mount your HD, then backup the [mounted folder] , which will backup your HD.  You can also backup your HD while running off the HD
[07:50] <Lekrem> eboyjr: /usr/bin
[07:50] <pyrak> ubuntuhomebackup seems like a promising project tho
[07:50] <specialmoose> $5 paypal to whoever can get my amarok to work, i just want a damn mp3 player that works with an equalizer... that too much to ask?
[07:50] <pyrak> i mean homeuserbackup
[07:50] <pyrak> i think
[07:51] <Jamesinator> specialmoose: Why, what's wrong with it?
[07:51] <Lekrem> eboyjr the /usr contains all the user apps and /bin is for system apps
[07:51] <specialmoose> Jamesinator, mp3s dont play and the program crashes
[07:51] <hypo> Hello, I was wondering can CIV IV work with wine?
[07:51] <Jamesinator> specialmoose: Can you query me and we'll talk further?
[07:51] <ocha_> din, ya there man?
[07:51] <din> yep
[07:51] <nj786> what program do i use to to copy a cd?
[07:51] <nj786> make a copy
[07:51] <autumn> any good way to configure a joystick? I just got a ps2 controller that was working fine and now is all glitchy
[07:52] <ant-> hypo, appsdb.winehq.com i think
[07:52] <channel200> din: It looks as though I'm OK if I create a new session and make it the default.
[07:52] <eboyjr> Lekrem: Where could I find brief explanations of the folders of Linux? But I can't find Firefox's searchplugins folder.
[07:52] <ocha_> din, how i check the opengl?
[07:53] <din> ocha i'd run glxinfo |grep -i render in a terminal
[07:53] <din> channel200: cool :)
[07:53] <channel200> din: there is an error  unable to open file '/usr/share/apps/kxkb/ubuntu.xmodmap for reading
[07:53] <channel200> din: any idea what that means?
[07:53] <din> channel200: probably the permissions are wrong for it, or it doesn't exist at all
[07:53] <ant-> hypo, its .org
[07:54] <Flannel> eboyjr: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html  also http://www.secguru.com/files/linux_file_structure.jpg
[07:54] <channel200> din: also an error that a dbus socket can't be opened
[07:54] <ocha_> din, how do i run that command int he line?it says it doesn't worek? ill try sudo
[07:54] <eboyjr> Thanks, Flannel.
[07:54] <legalsized> anyone here had experience with ISPConfig? I've got basic questions.
[07:54] <ocha_> din, --------------------------------------------------------
[07:54] <ocha_> din, thats all i got
[07:54] <Lekrem> eboyjr: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/pdf/ubuntu/C/desktopguide.pdf
[07:55] <channel200> does anyone know if the bulletproofX11 project will eliminate this sort of problem?
[07:55] <din> ocha glxinfo |grep -i direct
[07:55] <din> try that one
[07:55] <din> channel200: does X run though?
[07:55] <ocha_> din, "Yes"
[07:55] <din> ocha_: you're good to go dude.
[07:55] <ocha_> din, hey, one more question
[07:55] <din> sure :)
[07:55] <eboyjr> Lekrem: Thanks
[07:56] <ocha_> din, it canshow the titlebar (where the title of the window and maxius, minius, and close) like it can't show the theme of beryl
[07:56] <Lekrem> eboyjr: page 7
[07:56] <ocha_> din, it canshow the titlebar (where the title of the window and maxius, minius, and close) like it can't show the theme of beryl
[07:56] <channel200> din: I spoke too soon
[07:56] <ocha_> din, it can't show it
[07:56] <channel200> din: failsafe gnome session is ok
[07:57] <din> channel200: it's a gnome problem then
[07:57] <channel200> din: but I need to fix or create the default gnome session
[07:57] <channel200> din: gnome generates logs, I presume?
[07:57] <din> ocha_: run metacity
[07:58] <pras2k> hibernate /suspend not working with edgy in d620
[07:58] <legalsized> anyone here had experience with ISPConfig? I've got basic questions.
[07:58] <gdb> channel200: if you need to reset gnome for your account, delete your .gnome* .metacity and .nautilus directories
[07:58] <ocha_> din, but i wanna use the beryl and it's theme
[07:58] <ocha_> din, i don't know the command line for it
[07:58] <din> ocha_: ah, sorry. try running beryl-manager
[07:58] <varka> !anyone | legalsized
[07:58] <ubotu> legalsized: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:59] <channel200> gdb: will I lose panel settings?
[07:59] <clever_> how would i modify the livecd so it will allways try to boot into a persistant mode?
[07:59] <nj786> what program copys cds?
[08:00] <ocha_> din, thanks man
[08:00] <din> np dude
[08:01] <varka> nj786: graveman, gnomebaker, k3b, ...
[08:01] <nj786> varka: which is the best out of those 3?
[08:01] <zcat[1] > nj786: right-click on CD icons, one of the menu options it copying it
[08:01] <gdb> channel200: Yes.  You indicated interest in resetting gnome to a default state.  If you like, simply back up those directories and then see what happens.  If you don't like the results, move them back into place.
[08:01] <gnychis> in nm-applet, where there should be images of maybe secured networks next to the network name... i get little boxes with a red X in them, what am i missing to apt-get ?
[08:02] <din> nj786: that's a relative question
[08:02] <din> it depends on who you ask.
[08:02] <din> everyone has their favorites.
[08:02] <varka> nj786: most featurerich is k3b but its kde so you have to install a lot of libs you may not need in addition to run it under a gnome environment
[08:02] <legalsized> It says "Please go to the URL of your ISPConfig system http://www.domain.tld:81. My domain is not set up for some reason. would the ip address work 12.34.56.78:81?
[08:02] <gdb> To burn CDs, I use "right click in gnome and select 'write to disc'"
[08:03] <nj786> zcat, wait repeat that?
[08:03] <nj786> zcat, i want to copy a cd
[08:04] <LuCypher> hi
[08:04] <Ademan> is nautilus being REALLY flaky for anyone else lately? (might have been after a recent update i don't know)
[08:05] <gdb> Ademan: I don't believe there has been an update to Nautilus.
[08:05] <geekkit> Ademan: not particularly...there are a couple of bugs in it (turn on hidden file display but it doesnt update, turn off hidden file display and it does) but nothing horrible
[08:05] <Ademan> hrm, it's been actually crashing on me
[08:05] <channel200> gdb: that worked
[08:06] <geekkit> nautilus is actually quite cool and beats the crap out of windoze explorer...especially with the rollover mp3 files and it plays them
[08:06] <gdb> channel200: Very good. :-)
[08:06] <Ademan> and what's more, if i turn on hidden files, go into .wine   and then try to right click ANYTHING in that instance of nautilus most of the context menu is greyed out
[08:06] <d4rkmonkey> Hi, I bought an HP Compaq 6710b which wasn't compatable with Feisty (something to do with the video card). I was looking into the HP Compaq 6715b, which is the same laptop except it has a different graphics card and uses a different chipset. Does anyone know how AMD processors are in Notebooks? I remember they used to be bad because of heating issues, but I don't know about them now. Also can anyone help me f
[08:06] <d4rkmonkey> igure out if the comp will be compatable with feisty? The exact model I'm looking at can bee seen: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/sm/WF06b/12139188-12139280-12139280-12139280-12434660-79819571-80292545.html
[08:06] <geekkit> Ademan: i havent had it crash on me. weird
[08:06] <d4rkmonkey> *figure
[08:06] <Ademan> geekkit: it's only been really recently
[08:06] <nj786> varka, can you show me how to copy a cd(make a copy of it)
[08:06] <Ademan> i really don't know what's up but it's bugging me
[08:07] <channel200> gdb: I'm using the mailnotification panel applet. does it seem likely that it or some other dbus process crashed with an open file handle, preventing it from running?
[08:07] <Falkman> heya
[08:07] <d4rkmonkey> ?
[08:08] <waudette> Using sudo apt-get install how do I install Java or Java for Firefox on Umbutu's Desktip 32bit OS version of 7.x?
[08:09] <Flannel> !java | waudette
[08:09] <ubotu> waudette: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[08:09] <Falkman> When I try to install Ubuntu, I always get errors on the disk. I found out that for some reason I have to burn the Ubuntu .iso to a DVD-RW, anyone know why this is? Right now I really want to install Ubuntu but i don't have a DVD burner.
[08:09] <waudette> Flannel: thx!
[08:09] <gdb> sun-java6-* in fiesty
[08:09] <d4rkmonkey> Falkman what version are you trying to install?
[08:10] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Maybe your drive or burner has problems with CDR's ?
[08:10] <Falkman> d4rkmonkey: 7.04
[08:10] <d4rkmonkey> I burnt myself a CD of 7.04
[08:10] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Have you tried a pressed CD?
[08:10] <d4rkmonkey> you don't need a DVD...
[08:10] <pyrak> ok so i have this usb drive that has just a few megs of files in it, but system monitor and apparently everything else about my system thinks its 60% full (there used to be other stuff on it), cus it wont let me a bunch more stuff on (the drive is formatted ext3 btw)
[08:10] <tm_> tomasz
[08:10] <Falkman> Jordan_U: I've never head of a pressed cd, what is it?
[08:11] <tm_> ulenka48
[08:11] <Jordan_U> Falkman, A mass produced CD, like the ones from shipit
[08:11] <Falkman> Oh, no.
[08:11] <d4rkmonkey> The only thing about the ones from shipit, it takes really long for it to get to you
[08:11] <d4rkmonkey> I just burnt my own CD cus I was tired of waiting
[08:11] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Have you tried using a different burner or reader?
[08:12] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Or run the integrity test on the CD?
[08:12] <sean_> can anyone tell me if it's possible to run the acronis true image boot cd within ubuntu (like install it to hard drive)?  just trying to get around all the processes that the std hard disk install has
[08:12] <Falkman> Yes, I've used two different ones, it seems like the only one that works is my one on my laptop, but currently I have no OS's on my laptop because I want to install Ubuntu.
[08:12] <Falkman> Integrity Test? Is that the test at the main menu?
[08:13] <Falkman> When your trying to install Ubuntu?
[08:13] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Yes
[08:13] <Falkman> I get like 1 error.
[08:13] <Falkman> But it must be a big one cause I can never get far with installation.
[08:13] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Then that is most likely the problem
[08:14] <d4rkmonkey> Hi, I bought an HP Compaq 6710b which wasn't compatable with Feisty (something to do with the video card).

[08:14] <Falkman> Buy, how can I figure out what the problem is?
[08:14] <daviddiaz> hi,  how do you make an n with a tilde on top of it in Ubuntu
[08:14] <Falkman> It isn't a problem with CD-R's because i have Gparted on a cd and it works fine.
[08:14] <daviddiaz> I know in windows you do Alt 165
[08:14] <bruenig> d4rkmonkey, get nvidia
[08:14] <daviddiaz> but i tried it here and it won't work
[08:15] <d4rkmonkey> Its a laptop, I'm not replacing graphics card...
[08:15] <Flannel> d4rkmonkey: Check out the alternate CD
[08:15] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Probably a problem with the drive you are writing or reading from or the CD
[08:15] <d4rkmonkey> I read about a guy having exact same problem
[08:15] <bruenig> d4rkmonkey, ok if you want sucky ati, then go for it, it will be hell to setup
[08:15] <d4rkmonkey> alternate CD runs and installs but after the install boots into text
[08:15] <d4rkmonkey> bruenig, its not me wanting a specific graphics card
[08:16] <Jordan_U> Falkman, If you use the minimal CD it will grab almost everything from the internet so there is less likelyhood of a problem
[08:16] <d4rkmonkey> its me wanting a laptop
[08:16] <bruenig> d4rkmonkey, I am telling you the graphics card won't work
[08:16] <Falkman> I didn't know there was a minimal cd for ubuntu.
[08:16] <d4rkmonkey> well maybe you should try to do it without coming across like an asshole.
[08:16] <Flannel> !minimal | Falkman
[08:16] <ubotu> Falkman: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[08:16] <Falkman> But, does the minimal cd still install the Drivers needed for wireless intenet?
[08:16] <bruenig> what an asshat
[08:17] <bruenig> d4rkmonkey, go with that, it looks, good if you want a printer, I recommend a canon
[08:17] <d4rkmonkey> ...
[08:17] <d4rkmonkey> You do realize, you're only further proving my point?
[08:17] <bruenig> canon's are awesome get those
[08:17] <ponty> anyone use seahorse?
[08:17] <ryancr> bruenig: hey canons are great, i have one running with Feisty and it works perfectly
[08:18] <Falkman> Ok, I'm downloading the mini.iso, I'll inform you if there are any more problems.
[08:18] <bruenig> d4rkmonkey, or an epson maybe, canon or epson
[08:18] <ryancr> some guy has even setup a repo with the drivers
[08:18] <Jordan_U> Falkman, The minimal CD installs the same system that the LiveCD does, you may or may not need to be connected through ethernet though ( if your wireless card requires proprietary drivers I don't know if it will work )
[08:19] <l_r> hello
[08:19] <d4rkmonkey> hi
[08:19] <Falkman> Jordan: When I install ubuntu, my intenet works right away, so I think it will work? Or should i not risk it and just hardwire my comp right away?
[08:19] <l_r> i am searching for debs for vmware-player 2. any idea?
[08:20] <Jamesinator> How do I configure Evolution Mail to use a proxy?
[08:20] <Jordan_U> Falkman, You can try wireless, if it doesn't work ( or if you don't think your wireless is robust enough to stay connected during the install ) run wired
[08:21] <Jordan_U> l_r, It is available in the repos
[08:21] <ponty> i'm trying to delete 88 keys that were inadvertantly added in seahorse when i added a public key of someone who had his key signed by a bunch of people.  but everytime i try to delete them, seahorse just hangs
[08:21] <helmi> guys what GUI IRC-Client do you prefer?
[08:21] <l_r> Jordan_U, which one? i can't see vmware player 2
[08:21] <helmi> (gnome)
[08:21] <Jordan_U> l_r, Oh, sorry, didn't notice the 2
[08:22] <l_r> it would be nice to have 2 as well as soon as possible

[08:23] <Chikub1> ok i dropped offline and dont know if i got a replay so ill re-ask...i enabled the restricted drivers for my nvida card.....this allowed me to enable desktop effects but what i really want is to go into higher resolution......anyone know which driver i need for geoforce 5200 card???
[08:23] <Falkman> Jordan: Ok
[08:24] <neonlinux> does anyone know of a command that allows me to turn off my laptop screen?

[08:24] <neonlinux> i have the function keys on the kboard.. but they only turn off the back light
[08:24] <bruenig> Chikub1, sudo nvidia-settings, change the resolution in there
[08:24] <orbisvicis> !find lsdvd
[08:24] <bruenig> or I guess gksudo nvidia-settings

[08:25] <rockets> Anybody having trouble with the US repositories?
[08:25] <eboyjr> When you do a search in the File Browser, is there an easy way to make it so that it doesn't search in \windows?
[08:26] <bruenig> rockets, yes change them
[08:26] <rockets> bruenig: ?
[08:26] <bruenig> eboyjr, don't repeat, I didn't know it searches in \windows
[08:26] <bruenig> rockets, change your mirror
[08:26] <bruenig> eboyjr, what is
[08:26] <bruenig> \windows
[08:26] <rockets> i get it but why
[08:27] <someone2005> I was...
[08:27] <bruenig> rockets, if you are having trouble with us repositories, seems logical to change them
[08:27] <Chikub1> does that require a reboot
[08:27] <bruenig> or you can keep them and still have trouble with them
[08:27] <bruenig> I guess up to you
[08:27] <someone2005> seems to be work now...

[08:29] <nixternal> Charles_Xavier: count this as your warning on that one...ops do nothing more than ban and kick you for stuff like that, ops are here to control the channel...and of course provide support when possible, but only use the !ops if there is a dire need of channel control. Thank you
[08:29] <Charles_Xavier> i did not know...
[08:29] <Amaranth> Charles_Xavier: sudo mkdir /media/sda1 && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 && sudo chroot /media/sda1
[08:30] <eboyjr> defrysk: I don't know how to specify the other partition and I just wanted to do a quick search. Hmm...
[08:30] <Amaranth> Charles_Xavier: then run `nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf` and change your driver from 'nvidia' to 'nv'
[08:30] <Falkmana> ok, Now when I try the minimal cd all it has is a blinking cursor and its not doing nething...Then it goes to my LILO boot menu.
[08:30] <bruenig> assuming those are the partitions and whatnot
[08:30] <Charles_Xavier> ty 1 sec
[08:30] <Falkmana> Could It be a problem that i have LILO installed on the MBR?
[08:31] <Amaranth> bruenig: well, he doesn't have a windows install and there is no more hda so... :)
[08:31] <defrysk> eboyjr, umount /media/whatever
[08:31] <bruenig> oh I didn't read the no windows

[08:31] <eboyjr> defrysk: then how do I mount? Is it        "mount /media/whatever"          ?
[08:31] <zerokill88> can anyone tell me why my internet connection is running a little slow?i have a good wireless connection and i have never had this problem?
[08:32] <Amaranth> zerokill88: do you have a good password on your wireless?
[08:32] <orbisvicis> !dvdrecover
[08:32] <defrysk> eboyjr, easyest way is simply a sudo mount -a ,
[08:32] <defrysk> without the ,
[08:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvdrecover - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[08:33] <Amaranth> ugh don't point people to gwos
[08:33] <defrysk> eboyjr, but af course you can also specify a path
[08:33] <zerokill88> Amaranth its the default router number
[08:33] <TTilus> someone2005: just type ./a.out
[08:33] <orbisvicis> how can i recover a dvd's toc ? ... it cant be read by lsdvd
[08:33] <Amaranth> zerokill88: so you have no security on your router, i'm guessing someone else is using it
[08:33] <TTilus> someone2005: to console
[08:33] <someone2005> thanks...
[08:33] <Jamesinator> How do I configure Evolution Mail to use a proxy?
[08:33] <bruenig> zerokill88, you can get wireshark and monitor the packets, see if anything is going across it
[08:34] <Jordan_U> Falkman, Having lilo installed shouldn't hurt anything, did you burn the CD at a slow speed and check it for defects?
[08:34] <bruenig> my neighbor has an admin admin linksys setup, it is awesome
[08:34] <Jamesinator> Lol bruenig, where do you live?
[08:34] <Plantain> Hey all
[08:34] <Jordan_U> bruenig, I have a squid proxy, you can have fun with freeloaders :)
[08:35] <bruenig> I am the freeloader
[08:35] <Falkmana> I burned the cd at 4x
[08:35] <someone2005> I like that fun ,quick and easy...
[08:35] <Falkmana> But, how do i check for defects?
[08:35] <Plantain> I'm using NVIDIA Twinview with nvidia-settings, but I cannot seem to get my internal laptop screen to be the 'main' screen (The other one always has menubar/loginscreen etc
[08:35] <bruenig> I completely disabled my routers wireless and just use theirs especially considering the fact that they have a connection 5 times mine
[08:35] <bruenig> in terms of speed
[08:36] <Remotes_90> good morning guys
[08:36] <Jamesinator> Don't get careless bruenig, sometimes they aren't as stupid as they look. Once, RIGHT after I plugged in a new router one of my neighbors started using it... Dsniff did wonders for me that night. :D
[08:36] <Flannel> Falkmana: Its on the boot menu for the CD
[08:37] <mobutu> when i connect my external usb hard drive i get this error:
[08:37] <mobutu> usb 1-1: device not accepting address 9, error -71
[08:37] <mobutu> what am i doing wrong ?
[08:37] <zerokill88> Amaranth i dont think someone is using my line. bruenig yes i shall use that to see if i do have someone
[08:37] <bruenig> Jamesinator, I monitored it once for about an hour and the only thing that ever went across it were tivo packets
[08:37] <Amaranth> zerokill88: check the DHCP client list in your router configuration
[08:37] <TTilus> Remotes_90: good EEST morning to you too  :)
[08:37] <bruenig> so I am not sure they even use it much for web browsing and whatnot
[08:38] <Jamesinator> Still, you should use a VPN or something similar. It doesn't pay to be careless.
[08:38] <waudette> Flannel: It took me a bit, but that link was very helpful in getting java installed.  It is now working in Firefox.  Thank you again.
[08:38] <Jordan_U> bruenig, Invasion of privacy much?
[08:38] <lmc_phx> when I lived in my apartment I would unhide and unsecure my wireless just so I could have some fun.
[08:38] <zerokill88> Amarath k i will do that also. what do i look for?
[08:38] <bruenig> Jordan_U, there is nothing illegal with the monitoring, I think perhaps the connecting is illegal though
[08:39] <bruenig> not sure on that
[08:39] <TTilus> lmc_phx: you mean bastard!  :D
[08:39] <Jordan_U> bruenig, legal != correct
[08:39] <Jordan_U> lmc_phx, I agree, squid proxy + imagemagic = fun :)
[08:39] <waudette> I've loaded Umbutu 7.x to my system in 386 mode and I noticed that it recognizes fewer devices than it found in the 64bit OS.  How do I find linux drivers for my ASUS M2V motherboard with ATI 1950GT 512MB Video Card?
[08:39] <bruenig> Jordan_U, well the tivo packets didn't have any information on them, or if they did I didn't look at it, I just read the little thing that said it was from tivo
[08:40] <lmc_phx> well I never did anything mean, I just wanted to have a look-see. ( :
[08:41] <Falkmana> Jordan: Thats not the problem, the problem is getting to the menu in the first place
[08:41] <Falkmana> I cant even get to the menu that says install, check for defects, etc...

[08:47] <sagarp> where can i find the decode-dimms perl script? i can't find it after installing lm-sensors
[08:47] <bruenig> krinns, there is a probably an option in evolution for this

[08:52] <krinns>  i am
[08:52] <cupp1> Is it better than the older versions of Gaim?
[08:52] <bruenig> same pretty much
[08:52] <krinns> yup much better
[08:52] <bruenig> same thing, just looks a bit different
[08:52] <waudette> bruenig: Thanks for you help last night.  I got the 386 version installed today.
[08:52] <krinns> bruenig can u find out some thing in evolution
[08:52] <waudette> bruenig: 64bit was causing me some troubles... just to jog your memory.
[08:53] <unimatrix9> hello all
[08:53] <bruenig> krinns, I don't have evolution installed nor have I ever used it, but there must be something in evolution which is telling it to rename spaces with %
[08:53] <bruenig> krinns, I doubt something like that would be compiled into the code, it would only make sense for it to be an option
[08:54] <krinns> true

[09:03] <sluimers> google tells me it is.. a little
[09:03] <PurpZeY> sluimers: let me look into it, just a sec.
[09:04] <Plantain> Okay, with a little hackery I've now got both screens working, but the original problem that made me hack up my xorg.conf was TwinView selects the wrong screen as my main screen
[09:04] <Plantain> How might I choose one screen or the other as the 'main' screen?
[09:04] <lmc_phx> well anyway. ctrl+alt+f1 will get you a terminal
[09:04] <bruenig> that isn't exactly a terminal
[09:05] <bruenig> I mean you cant launch graphical apps from it
[09:05] <lmc_phx> its not?
[09:05] <bruenig> which seems to be his problem
[09:05] <bruenig> or what he is trying to do
[09:05] <Plantain> No, I've reset my xorg.conf now
[09:05] <Plantain> all is well
[09:05] <lmc_phx> right, but since x is "borked", hes not going to be loading anything graphical anyway.
[09:05] <Plantain> except the screen I want as my 'main' screen, isn't
[09:05] <Plantain> x is no longer borked, I got a terminal and fixed my error
[09:05] <bruenig> lmc_phx, no it was loading, just not properly, but whatever all is moot
[09:06] <lmc_phx> what do you mean by screen?
[09:06] <Plantain> lmc_phx: I've got two screens, a dual screen setup
, okay
[09:06] <lmc_phx> bruenig, right you are
[09:06] <lmc_phx> Plantain, oh, I see, I have no skills in that area. sorry

[09:14] <Nutubuntu> Trying to configure X to get 1024x768 or better on my Dell M990 monitor. Video card is an onboard Nvidia. I've got only 800x600 available after running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ... could use a hand.
[09:14] <PurpZeY> !alsa
[09:14] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[09:14] <kahfei> but  couldnt seems to get Ubuntu see this lvm parition.
[09:14] <r4b> i am running feisty with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic, i have no restricted driver packages or nvidia packages install, i am wondering why when i attempt 'aptitude install nvidia-glx' for my 7900gt, aptitude forces 2.6.20-15-386 to be installed
[09:14] <orbisvicis> does ubuntu have large filesystem support, for files over 2gigs ?
[09:15] <orbisvicis> "vobcopy ... (needs large file support (LFS))"
[09:15] <alecwh> What do I need to download to start making Python programs? What editors can I use? Are there good tutorials for LInux programmers (for python)?
[09:15] <Nutubuntu> orbisvicis,  that shouldn't depend on ubuntu but on your filesystem, I think
[09:15] <kahfei> after install gparted, and can see the lvm partition, but couldn't mount it.
[09:15] <kha1i1> the live cd locks up and runs realllll slow when running thru vmware.  the window locks up a lot.  also , i know its not a cpu/ram issue as its not touching the cpu or ram at all. its reading from the mounted image but only infrequently.. any ideas?
[09:16] <orbisvicis> hm hows ext3 with LFS ?
[09:16] <PurpZeY> missy85: run 'alsamixer' then adjust it
[09:16] <Nutubuntu> alecwh,  I can't answer all of those from personal experience but I am a big fan of the bluefish editor
[09:16] <alecwh> for Python?
[09:16] <kahfei> I read i here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountlinux on the steps to modify /etc/fstab
[09:16] <r4b> wikipedia has a nice run down of filesystems and their file size limitations
[09:16] <kahfei> but still not working?
 nope, doesn't work
[09:16] <kahfei> anyone has any ideal?
 It can't find my printer
[09:17] <PurpZeY> sluimers: Have you tried taking out the driver, disconnecting the printer, reinstalling the driver and rebooting with the printer present?
[09:17] <PurpZeY> sluimers: I mean, it seems weird...that it wouldn't see the printer at all
[09:17] <Nutubuntu> alecwh,  it has syntax highlighting for a long list of languages, incl python
[09:17] <orbisvicis> ok ext3 looks good
[09:17] <Jordan_U> kahfei, In general don't trust blogs, especially when there are instructions on the official wiki ( wiki.ubuntu.com ). What file system?
[09:17] <kha1i1> text based installation from the cd anyone? known issue with installing in vmare 6
[09:17] <kha1i1> ?
[09:17] <alecwh> ok. What do I need to install to start executing ruby? And can someone link me to a tutorial?
[09:18] <PurpZeY> !ruby
[09:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ruby - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:18] <kha1i1> i freeze during install
[09:18] <r4b> !nvidia
[09:18] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:18] <PurpZeY> alecwh: never heard of ruby......not confusing it for beryl ?
[09:18] <smultron> how do i connect to my WPA WiFi network in Feisty? i've tried the wpa_supplicant tutorial, but i'm getting errors
 I'll try
[09:18] <alecwh> Sorry, I meant Python. XD
[09:18] <PurpZeY> smultron: what chipset?
[09:18] <alecwh> It's late. :P
[09:18] <kahfei> Hi alecwh, try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RubyOnRails
[09:19] <hanseatic> smulltron network-manager should take care of that
[09:19] <smultron> PurpZey: acx?
[09:19] <alecwh> No, I don't want to Learn RoR. I'm more interested in Python.
[09:19] <PurpZeY> smultron: what make of card and model?
[09:19] <Jordan_U> alecwh, I recommend dive into python
[09:19] <smultron> D-Link DWL-520+
[09:19] <anothrguitarist> Has anyone installed Ubuntu on their PS3, and if so, was it difficult?
[09:19] <alecwh> What is that? a book?
[09:19] <hanseatic> how do i setup a second graphics card
[09:19] <Jordan_U> alecwh, Yes
[09:19] <hanseatic> ?
[09:19] <lmc_phx> I am new to it also, but go here, www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html good tutorial and download aptana. very nice ide
[09:20] <smultron> PurpZeY: I used ndiswrapper to get it working
[09:20] <alecwh> Ok, great. I'm a PHP/CSS/XHTML user, but I don't know ANYTHING about Python.
[09:20] <r4b> anyone have any ideas on the nvidia install weirdness with aptitude
[09:20] <Nutubuntu> Trying to configure X to get 1024x768 or better on my Dell M990 monitor. Video card is an onboard Nvidia; running the nv driver. I've got only 800x600 available after running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ... could use a hand.
[09:21] <PurpZeY> smultron: Got it...I am looking at the forums on the issue...

[09:21] <alecwh> Jordan_U, what do I need to install to start running Python on my machine.
[09:21] <kahfei> alecwh, you can read dive into python here http://www.diveintopython.org/toc/index.html
[09:21] <avis> what is the channel for ubuntu 7.0 alpha 2 ?
[09:21] <Nutubuntu> r4b weirdness?
[09:21] <Nutubuntu> ziroday,  thanks :)
[09:21] <avis> 7.1
[09:21] <Jordan_U> alecwh, Nothing, a lot of Ubuntu's utilities are written in python so it is available in the default install, just run "python" in a terminal
[09:21] <alecwh> ok. What do I need to run Python itself?
[09:22] <magnetron> avis: there is no ubuntu 7.0 or 7.1 . do you mean 7.04?
[09:22] <smultron> PurpZeY: Ok
[09:22] <alecwh> cool!
[09:22] <kjw75> just installed beryl on my new laptop, is anyone else having a freeze up problem with beryl or is it just my laptop?
[09:22] <avis> 7.10 alpha 2
[09:22] <kha1i1> text based installation from the cd anyone? known issue with installing in vmare 6?
[09:22] <Don64> alecwh: u can ask python specific questions in #python as well
[09:22] <magnetron> !gutsy | avis
[09:22] <ubotu> avis: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10).

[09:22] <alecwh> ok, cool. I'm excited to jump into Python. :D
[09:22] <Jordan_U> alecwh, That's it, python is an interpreted language
[09:23] <alecwh> Now, you can make actual programs with Python?
[09:23] <alecwh> Whole programs?
[09:23] <Jordan_U> alecwh, Yup
[09:23] <alecwh> Are tarballs just python files?
[09:23] <magnetron> alecwh: yes, frets on fire is a good example
[09:23] <kahfei> hmmm...still need some guidance on mounting fedora partition..anyone have any ideal?
[09:23] <alecwh> ok. freaking awesome
[09:23] <PurpZeY> smultron: Have you looked at wpasupplicant?
[09:23] <Jordan_U> alecwh, tarballs can be many things
[09:23] <r4b> Nutubuntu: when i use apt-get/aptitude to try and install nvidia-glx, it prompts me to install a 2.6.20-15 kernel where i am running 2.6.20-16 already
[09:23] <kha1i1> text based installation from the cd anyone? known issue with installing in vmare 6?
[09:23] <smultron> is that different than wpa_supplicant, PurpZeY
[09:24] <kha1i1> im lcoking up during install
[09:24] <PurpZeY> smultron: no.
[09:24] <Nutubuntu> r4b - oh - I am clueless on that one, sorry - thanks for the explanation though
[09:24] <magnetron> alecwh: tarballs (.tar.gz) is basically an equivalent of zip files
[09:24] <smultron> PurpZeY: then I already tried it
[09:24] <alecwh> So, how does a Windows user install python programs?
[09:24] <tony_> Hi everybody!
[09:24] <tony_> (this is the part where you all say "Hi, Dr. Nick!" in unison...)
[09:24] <r4b> so i sit in bitchx and wait ;)
[09:24] <dkm|kevin> Is there any easy way to install a ati driver?
[09:24] <dkm|kevin> on ubuntu
[09:25] <Jordan_U> dkm|kevin, System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[09:25] <magnetron> dkm|kevin: use the restricted driver manager
[09:25] <Don64> alecwh : the dive website
[09:25] <Don64> explains it
[09:25] <alecwh> What is that? :D
[09:25] <alecwh> *where
[09:25] <dkm|kevin> Has anyone tried running counter-strike on wine or cedega? if so does ur fps drop?
[09:25] <MacDrunk> hello sll
[09:25] <MacDrunk> dup

[09:27] <MacDrunk> yea
[09:27] <kahfei> I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my machine, which also have FedoraCore 7 installed. But couldn't get Ubuntu to mount the partition with Fedora installed. Anyone has any ideal?
[09:27] <dkm|kevin> Is ubuntu for gaming? if not what linux is made for gaming?
[09:27] <tony_> so two-thirty in the morning and completely unable to sleep!  w00h00!
[09:27] <PurpZeY> MacDrunk: What kind of package is it?
[09:27] <MacDrunk> for linux i found some pages
[09:27] <TexasTaz> Anyone got any good information on Making a MFC 5840CN work on Ubuntu
[09:27] <MacDrunk> well let me se
[09:28] <mckinnoj> So I want to change my screen resolution but 1024x780 is the only option.  Sorry I'm still new at this.  I'm running Beryl if that matters
[09:28] <tony_> dkm|kevin: any linux is good for gaming there's lots of linux games and you can run most Windows games that support OpenGL with Wine
[09:28] <MacDrunk> it says armyops250linux.run
[09:28] <TexasTaz> I have been through the forums at ubuntu all day trying to make this thing work
[09:28] <dkm|kevin> When i run counter-strike with wine my fps drops.. whys that?
[09:28] <lmc_phx> TexasTaz, have you messed with cups yet? I was amazed, it found my brother printer without any trouble.
[09:28] <PurpZeY> mckinnoj: You may have to do it manually by editing xorg.conf
[09:28] <tony_> TexasTaz, who makes the MFC 5840CN?
[09:28] <PurpZeY> dkm|kevin: Are you running beryl?
[09:29] <TexasTaz> It found it but it won't print just lights up for sec then goes out no print
[09:29] <TexasTaz> Brother
[09:29] <dkm|kevin> no sir on a fresh installed ubuntu /w gfxdriver (ati 9600)
[09:29] <MacDrunk> any ideas
[09:29] <bluebanana> what's a quick way to compare the differences  between 2 files?
[09:29] <bluebanana> pls use my name in your reply
[09:29] <Plantain> diff
[09:29] <tony_> bluebanana are you on Windows or Ubuntu?
[09:30] <bluebanana> tony_, in the better of the 2 choices you gave 8-)
[09:30] <PurpZeY> MacDrunk: I don't really...You can try just running that file...Is there any documentation?
[09:30] <TexasTaz> Brother has a driver on their site done with .rpm and .deb and I installed the .deb one
[09:30] <bluebanana> tony_, ubuntu
[09:30] <tony_> lol bluebanana... in that case, you'll want diff
[09:30] <mckinnoj> PurpZeY: I have xorg.conf open but I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing.  Under the "Screen" Section 1280x800 shows up a lot, but I don't see it when I try to change the resolution through the Preferences menu.
[09:30] <bluebanana> it's a program/
[09:30] <bluebanana> ?
[09:30] <TexasTaz> bluebanana: I knew that when said the better of the two lol
[09:30] <MacDrunk> well not really on the page of army ops it says that wont be suported no more
[09:30] <PurpZeY> mckinnoj: First thing, backup xorg.
[09:30] <bluebanana> TexasTaz, i better not say that if I'm in a windows irc room.
[09:31] <kahfei> Hi all, I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my machine, which also have FedoraCore 7 installed. But couldn't get Ubuntu to mount the partition with Fedora installed. Anyone has any ideal?
[09:31] <TexasTaz> Who care i hate windows and I would say it in there also lol
[09:31] <tony_> bluebanana... open a terminal and "diff [file1]  [file2] "
[09:31] <bluebanana> tony_, thanks
[09:31] <bluebanana> tony_, what if one is in a text?
[09:31] <bluebanana> tony_, do i then have to put it into a file?
[09:31] <tony_> what do you mean, bluebanana?
[09:32] <mckinnoj> PurpZeY: ok, done
[09:32] <tony_> what does "what if one is in a text?" mean?
[09:32] <bluebanana> tony_, i have the contents of a (config) file saved as a draft in my email box
[09:32] <tony_> ok
[09:32] <PurpZeY> mckinnoj: Then just go ahead and add the resolution you want.
[09:32] <tony_> copy it from your email and into a text file using gedit
[09:32] <bluebanana> tony_, ok
[09:33] <tony_> and then use diff to compare to the one on your machine
[09:33] <tony_> is that what you're trying to do?
[09:33] <tony_> lol TexasTaz
[09:33] <ivan_> Sweet first time using ubuntu just switched from Windows XP
[09:33] <Malachi> How can I edit the menu.lst of a live cd?
[09:33] <raf256_> hi
[09:33] <tony_> use whatever you want bluebanana... I won't think any less of you for it even if you use HelloKitty Editor
[09:33] <kha1i1> ivan_,  xp is much better trust me
[09:33] <Malachi> ivan_ cool. I just switched someone today.
[09:34] <kha1i1> stay with it
[09:34] <ivan_> i know i got 2 pc
[09:34] <tony_> ivan_ how you liking it so far?
[09:34] <Malachi> khalil: What are you talking about?
[09:34] <ivan_> one XP one ubuntu
[09:34] <andrewspriggs> I'm trying to change settings for my Synaptics Touchpad, and even though gsynaptics lets me change settings...nothing happens. Do I have to restart the computer every time I change a setting?
[09:34] <bluebanana> tony_, yes
[09:34] <kha1i1> what do u mean what am i talking about? was that confusing what i said? xp is much better, stay with it
[09:34] <Malachi> It's kind of....not the thing to do. Say XP is better in an Ubuntu room.
[09:34] <ivan_> I like Ubuntu is fast
[09:34] <bluebanana> tony_, that's what i want to do. there's a helloKitty editor?
[09:34] <tony_> andrewspriggs: you can usually just reset that one program that controls your touchpad
[09:35] <PurpZeY> andrewspriggs: I had that problem myself...I found manually changing the settings, or using qsynaptics worked better.
[09:35] <bluebanana> ivan_, me too!
[09:35] <mckinnoj> PurpZeY: the thing is that 1280x800 is already in there, and 1024x768 isn't
[09:35] <Malachi> Also, khalil, that's an opinion, and only discourages users.
[09:35] <andrewspriggs> PurpZeY: oh, I haven't tried qsynaptics...let me get that
[09:35] <PurpZeY> mckinnoj: That is not really my strong suit, but, I am POSITIVE someone else in the chan can verify the right information to change..also, if you'vee already made the change, you'll need to restart x
[09:35] <noodles12> and khalil is WRONG!
[09:35] <noodles12> =P
[09:35] <ivan_> The only thing i don`t know is to download program and install them is a mess for me.
[09:35] <kha1i1> o is it bad form? i like ubuntu, but only because im in comp sci and must learn it.  finding help for these obscure ass issues is a bitch adn i really dont see a benefit at all
[09:36] <TexasTaz> Ubuntu is on all my machines except one My wife refuses to let go of Winblows even after I bought CrossOver for her
[09:36] <GhostFreeman> how can I get rid of all these mount icons on my desktop>
[09:36] <kha1i1> im not trying to hurt feelings
[09:36] <tony_> lol khalil... I applaud your honesty
[09:36] <mckinnoj> PurpZey: ok, cool.  Thanks for giving it a shot
[09:36] <PurpZeY>  ivan_: 9 times out of 10, sudo apt-get install <program> will install it
[09:36] <ivan_> k
[09:36] <tony_> but the benefit is that one vendor can't lock the world in, as MicroSoft has done
[09:36] <ivan_> true
[09:37] <Malachi> ivan_, if you don't want to use a terminal, look in Synaptic for your program. I know how scary the terminal can be to new users.
[09:37] <tony_> so while I definitely haven't drank any RMS kool-aid lately, FLOSS software is very important and I like ubuntu
[09:37] <ivan_> ight
[09:37] <PurpZeY> Malachi: You know honestly, I still find Synaptic for intimidating
[09:37] <kha1i1> tony_,  very true as well.  another reason why i dont mind using it.  im trying it now in vista thru vmware 6.  installing now after it froze umpteen times.  was my own fault tho, wrong vm setting
[09:37] <ivan_> I also Fedora 5 on PS3
[09:37] <Bob_Dole> Ubuntu looks pretty..
[09:37] <ivan_> yup
[09:37] <Malachi> PurpZey: I use aptitude myself, but I tell new users to use Add Remove or Synaptic.
[09:37] <TexasTaz> tony_: FLOSS or FOSS
[09:37] <GhostFreeman> How can I disable the mount icons on the desktop?
[09:37] <Bob_Dole> but I prefer my Fedora Core 6 to ubuntu @.x
[09:38] <tony_> TexasTaz... lol typo
[09:38] <tony_> FOSS
[09:38] <ivan_> I wanna try every OS
[09:38] <Malachi> I understand what you're saying, Bob, but what's with all this "Don't use Ubuntu" in an ubuntu room?
[09:38] <tony_> or uhh make up a word for the L...
[09:38] <linaxe> Hey a question... Is FC just a name change or RED Hat Linux??
[09:38] <TexasTaz> Okay tony_ Had me worried for minute Thought I missed something in my Linux Journal
[09:38] <Bob_Dole> Ivan, look at menuet :3
[09:38] <tony_> Free, Libido-Enhansing Open Source Software...
[09:38] <linaxe> Hey a question... Is FC just a name change of RED Hat Linux??
[09:38] <kha1i1> linaxe,  not quite but short answer yes
[09:38] <TexasTaz> tony_: Uh yeha i wish rofl
[09:39] <mafia`motiv-LcM> could anyone tell me how to configure my mysql server to allow remote connections? the default config only accepts connections from localhost
[09:39] <linaxe> khali1, so there is no RHL these days eh?
[09:39] <PurpZeY> linaxe: I think it had something to do with Redhat becoming a proprietary name
[09:39] <tony_> linaxe... Fedora Core is the community version of RH
[09:39] <mckinnoj> So it looks like 1280x800 has already been added to xorg.conf, but I still can't change my resolution under preferences.  I'm running Beryl.  Anyone have any ideas?
[09:39] <thefallenarchang> hello
[09:39] <tony_> because Red Hat went Enterprise Only after version 9
[09:39] <linaxe> Oh I see..
[09:39] <kha1i1> linaxe, i think its still out there for enterprise
[09:39] <linaxe> Thanks guys
[09:39] <TexasTaz> It's Dervitive of RHEL as well as CentOS with it compiled from source without hte Copyrighted Logos
[09:39] <kinection> linaxe: there is still RHL, FC is like community version of RHL, sometimes they test things in FC first before putting it in RHL
[09:39] <tony_> and I curse them for it... I was just getting the hang of linux when they booted me
[09:39] <thefallenarchang> needin some help with the install of madwifi?
[09:40] <thefallenarchang> i get errors everytime i try to use the make command'
[09:40] <kinection> linaxe: RHL is usually used for large corporations/institutes, FC for community
[09:40] <PurpZeY> mckinnoj: You can try commenting out the other res...but make sure you backup xorg, so if it fails you can revert it
[09:40] <TexasTaz> ooops typio dang it brain is moving faster than fingers
[09:40] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: Using sudo?
[09:40] <thefallenarchang> yep
[09:40] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: what is the final line return of the make?
[09:40] <linaxe> I have heard a lot from people that its the best linux OS.. Is that true?? I have been using Ubuntu for over 4 months and I like it more than FC.. the kind of support it has, it juts beats FC and all other counterparts..
[09:41] <Nutubuntu> Okay, now I have 1024x768 :) Thanks!
[09:41] <PurpZeY> !best | linaxe
[09:41] <ubotu> linaxe: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[09:41] <thefallenarchang> hold on one sec plz purpzey
[09:41] <TexasTaz> Okay I guess I am off to the never ending frustration of getting My Brotehr Printer to print in Ubuntu
[09:41] <tony_> btw why in the world did ubuntu choose to disable the root account by default?  it makes no sense.  Anybody who would be scared by root wouldn't know what it was anyway.
[09:41] <noodles12> TexasTaz: hope it's nto a lexmark
[09:41] <ivan_> Can ubuntu get virus  like lot do i need to worry bout da
[09:41] <PurpZeY> Nutubuntu: mckinnoj is having a small res issue, maybe you can point him in the right direction?
[09:41] <ziroday> !sudo | tony_
[09:41] <ubotu> tony_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:41] <ivan_> ?
[09:41] <tony_> sorry TexasTaz... which I could help
[09:41] <TexasTaz> noodles12: It isn'
[09:41] <TexasTaz> t
[09:42] <tony_> lol attacked by the bots again
[09:42] <noodles12> ivan_: no u don't need a virus scanner or a spyware scanner
[09:42] <Bob_Dole> I think I switched to fedora because of the root thing..
[09:42] <Nutubuntu> PurpZeY,  happy to try - mckinnoj say your problem pls? I did not see it
[09:42] <TexasTaz> But it's a real pain the patootie trying to get it to print let me tell ya
[09:42] <ivan_> kool
[09:42] <tony_> anyways for all you newbies out there... first thing you might wanna do is enable the root account... then no more typing sudo before EVERYTHING...
[09:42] <Bob_Dole> but I found I liked fedora more anyways.
[09:43] <PurpZeY> Nutubuntu: He may be combing the forums or something, but he was trying to run 1200x800 but is only getting 1200x768....If he comes back. . . .
[09:43] <noodles12> tony_: i believe that's exactly what you don't want to do
[09:43] <TexasTaz> hehehe already done tony_that was the first thing I did when it rebooted
[09:43] <ivan_> So you all switch OS that`s just 2 sweet lol.
[09:43] <thefallenarchang> purpzey the final line is : make: *** [modules]  Error 2
[09:43] <ompaul> !sudo
[09:43] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:43] <linaxe> Tony_ I think it was quite sensible to disable root by default.. I know its more of a pain to sudo everytime but I think its safer cuz root access gives you access to everything and you can screw up bigtime
[09:43] <Nutubuntu> PurpZeY,  I'll keep an eye out for him then
[09:43] <tony_> I think apt is infinitely more reliable than yum, so that's why I chose ubuntu over FC
[09:43] <linaxe> you can get root access by sudo su
[09:43] <ompaul> !rootsudo
[09:43] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:43] <tony_> or you can enable the root account and get root access by logging in as root ;-)
[09:44] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: hmmm...are you sure you have all the dependencies for the package you are looking to install ?
[09:44] <TexasTaz> You cna just type sud oand d owhatever you want without being in su
[09:44] <noodles12> you might as well stick w/ XP on adminstrator. That defeats part of the security if you just run as root.
[09:44] <thefallenarchang> pretty sure
[09:44] <thefallenarchang> kinda new to ubuntu
[09:44] <ompaul> tony_, this channel does not support that nor does any sensible person so please cease
[09:44] <mckinnoj> Nutubuntu: Hey, sorry I was looking at something else.  So my screen resolution is stuck at 1024x768, and I would like to set it higher
[09:44] <tony_> noodles... not log in to X as root... log in to a terminal as root
[09:44] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: I'm no guru myself, but you can pastebin the output, I can at least look.
[09:44] <Bob_Dole> Root is unsecure, but usefull.
[09:44] <PurpZeY> !paste | thefallenarchang
[09:44] <ubotu> thefallenarchang: 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)
[09:44] <tony_> this channel doesn't support opening a terminal and typing "su"?
[09:44] <tony_> wow.
[09:45] <Bob_Dole> well less secure. It has its uses to log in as root sometimes.
[09:45] <TexasTaz> Yeah if you are root locally you should be fine just don't make a connection to inet in root lol
[09:45] <Nutubuntu> hi mckinnoj - I just finished doing that, so maybe I can help :) I used the instrux at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:45] <ompaul> tony_, read the http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo to find out why
[09:45] <mckinnoj> Nutubuntu: I checked out xorg.conf, but the weird thing is that 1024x768 doesn't show up anywhere in that file despite the fact that it's the only resolution available to me.
[09:45] <TexasTaz> Hahahah ubotu is a bot I tried to talk to that bot yesterday rofl
[09:45] <missy85> PurpZeY: i read all that alsa stuff but i still cant seem to find any amplify setting, maybe im missing something gah i've been trying to get this to work for hours
[09:46] <tony_> I've read it.  I don't agree with it.  That's all I was saying.
[09:46] <kha1i1> wow i can install ubuntu on a 1gb system thru vmware on vista and still mutli task during install
[09:46] <GhostFreeman> How can I disable the mount icons on the desktop?
[09:46] <kha1i1> i need 2gbs still tho
[09:46] <Nutubuntu> mckinnoj,  I don't know why that would be, but let's go thru the basics - 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup' already? if not pls make a backup
[09:46] <PurpZeY> missy85: And all your levels are at max?
[09:46] <missy85> yes
[09:46] <mckinnoj> Nutubuntu: yep
[09:47] <Assassin`> !xgl
[09:47] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[09:47] <tony_> and yeah guess I should have been clearer... don't log into X as root... bad idea.
[09:47] <ompaul> tony_, well it says there if you help someone enable root you better be available 24/7 for that person when they break something
[09:47] <PurpZeY> missy85: I know there is an amplification setting...not sure where it is, let me see if I can track it down
[09:47] <thefallenarchang> purpzey here ya go http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27913/
[09:47] <ompaul> tony_, guess you got a new job
[09:47] <tony_> well I figure people should know how their computers work
[09:47] <Nutubuntu> mckinnoj,  okeydokey ... have you got the specs on your monitor's vertical and horiz sync rates handy?
[09:47] <tony_> not just "All linux commands have to start with "sudo"  I don't know why.
[09:47] <PurpZeY> missy85: turn "External amplifier" off
[09:47] <tony_> you know?
[09:48] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: You are missing the devlib
[09:48] <missy85> PurpZeY: that's the thing i cant seem to find that setting
[09:48] <mckinnoj> Nutubuntu: I don't unfortunately, but I can try looking them up.  Is this critical?
[09:48] <ivan_> Can i get a DiVx codec for Ubuntu? Was the best Video PLayer for Unbuntu?
[09:48] <PurpZeY> missy85: I'm not sure where the setting is specifically, ask for that specific thing in the chan, I am positive someone will know, meanwhile I'll see if I can't track it down.
[09:48] <Bob_Dole> I can't wait for Ark Linux 2007.1RC to be released :3
[09:48] <thefallenarchang> i can get through synaptic right?
[09:48] <MacDrunk> hmm
[09:48] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: Yup.
[09:48] <linaxe> mckinnoj: have you pasted the text printed by GTF on terminal into xorg.conf??
[09:48] <Nutubuntu> mckinnoj,  yes. definitely look them up
[09:49] <tony_> ivan_ are you using Edgy or Feisty?
[09:49] <ivan_> no clue
[09:49] <MacDrunk> any one here has installed armyops for linux???
[09:49] <ivan_> lol
[09:49] <SurfnKid> hi guys
[09:49] <linaxe> mckinnoj: have you pasted the text printed by GTF on terminal into xorg.conf??
[09:49] <tony_> ok ivan click System, then About and look around for a version number
[09:49] <missy85> seems by reading those pages it was founbd in the menu u get when u type alsamixer in terminal but i don't have that option
[09:49] <SurfnKid> I need some help installing ubuntu on an sdb usb disk, can someone tell me how to not write GRUB to my hd0 partition?
[09:50] <mckinnoj> linaxe: I think I missed that
[09:50] <thefallenarchang> it does not show it in syn.?
[09:50] <ivan_> 2.81.1
[09:51] <missy85> does anybody know where I can change the external amplifier settings for alsa in feisty
[09:51] <ompaul> ivan_, check that number again, I think it is .18.
[09:51] <ivan_> ok
[09:51] <SurfnKid> has anyone installed ubuntu on a portable disk?
[09:51] <tony_> no, ivan_: it'll be a year, then month number... either 6.10 or 7.04 probably
[09:51] <SurfnKid> USB IDE
[09:51] <ivan_> 2.18.1
[09:51] <Don64> yes missey
[09:51] <tony_> and it'll say "Edgy Eft" or "Feisty Fawn"
[09:51] <ompaul> tony_, it does not
[09:51] <linaxe> type gtf hor_res vert_res frequency.. The output you get, paste it under monitor section.. Add your resolution to the default resolution and restart x
[09:51] <Don64> double click the volume control nob
[09:51] <ivan_> I got 7.04 ubuntu
[09:52] <tony_> on mine it does ompaul
[09:52] <ompaul> ivan_, it is fiesty 7.04
[09:52] <Don64> go to preferences
[09:52] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: You need the build library...I don't know the exact name of the package...Someone help me out?
[09:52] <tony_> "Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft"
[09:52] <tony_> anywho ivan you're in luck because you have Feisty
[09:52] <capiCrimm> anyone know if apache's flood is in a package somewhere. Or am I going to have to build it by hand?
[09:52] <Don64> edit preferences and at the bottem is the option
[09:52] <Nutubuntu> mckinnoj,  what linaxe said ... or look up the specs for the monitor. Either way, you need those in xorg.conf
[09:52] <yell8w> build-essential
[09:53] <tony_> go to System > Administration > Restricted ____ (I forget what the actual name is, cause I don't use Feisty on this machine) but something about restricted)
[09:53] <Don64> missy85 did u see this?
[09:53] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: build-essential
[09:53] <missy85> Don64:  thanks but I can't find it there
[09:53] <ivan_> Feisty is really good why?
[09:53] <ja> ja pisze
[09:53] <thefallenarchang> purpzey purpzey i got that now thnx
[09:53] <linaxe> mckinnoj: replace hor_res vert_res and freq by values corresponding to whatever you want and whatever is your monitors specs. Be careful!! Dont mess around with monitor scanning frequency if you dont know it.. Its mostly 60hz or 75hz
[09:53] <Don64> do u see the icon on the panel
[09:53] <ompaul> tony_, to discover what version this command is useful: lsb_release -d
[09:53] <tony_> it makes it easier for you to install your codecs
[09:53] <yell8w> tony_, restricted drivers manager
[09:53] <missy85> i see the volume icon yeah
[09:53] <ivan_> sweet
[09:53] <tony_> thanks yell8w
[09:53] <Don64> double click it
[09:53] <MacDrunk> see ya all
[09:54] <mckinnoj> linaxe: ok, give me a second to try this out
[09:54] <tony_> yell8w that's where the codecs are handled, right?
[09:54] <tony_> I haven't used that feature of Feisty yet
[09:54] <TexasTaz> lol My Printing night mare is Over i just Bought an HP Laserjet 1100 Which Ubuntu has a driver for it lol
[09:54] <Don64> did the control panel pop up?
[09:54] <tony_> still running Edgy here LOL
[09:54] <linaxe> mckinnoj: the output expected for 1023x768 at 75hz is something like this
[09:54] <yell8w> tony_, no, that's where you get your ati drivers
[09:54] <tony_> gotcha...
[09:55] <linaxe>  # 1024x768 @ 75.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 60.15 kHz; pclk: 81.80 MHz
[09:55] <linaxe>   Modeline "1024x768_75.00"  81.80  1024 1080 1192 1360  768 769 772 802  -HSync +Vsync
[09:55] <tony_> so how do the codecs come up... I know they come up automagically when you do something...
[09:55] <tony_> does he just need to try to play a divx video?
[09:55] <yell8w> tony_, as far as codecs there are gstreamers, or w32codecs + libcsssomething
[09:55] <ivan_> 1980x1080
[09:55] <tony_> yeah but how do you trigger the auto-download thing that I saw advertised so much about Feisty?
[09:55] <missy85> Don64: the volume control window pops up but that option -  i don't see it :( i had to download the alsa thing and compile to get my sound to even work, do u think this would make it different somehow. scuse my ignorance
[09:55] <linaxe> Mckinnoj: try this link if you are finding it tough http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973
[09:55] <Don64> edit,preferences and down to the bottom is the external amp
[09:55] <TexasTaz> yell8w: is right gstreamer usually has al lthe codecs you need
[09:56] <linaxe> gtg now.. Hope your problem gets fixed bye everyone
[09:56] <ivan_> including divx
[09:56] <SurfnKid> hi
[09:56] <tony_> ok ivan_ do you know how to install stuff with synaptic yet?
[09:56] <yell8w> tony_, erhh just try to open a file ?
[09:56] <ivan_> nope
[09:56] <SurfnKid> has anyone installed ubuntu on a usb disk?
[09:56] <PurpZeY> SurfnKid: No, but it can be done
[09:56] <tony_> yell8w that's what I thought... might work
[09:56] <missy85> Don64: theres a bunch of them but no external amp
[09:56] <Don64> do u see the menu item Edit?
[09:56] <ivan_> thats what i want to learn badly
[09:56] <missy85> yes Don64
[09:57] <tony_> lol ivan_ just go to Applications > Sound & Video > Movie Player
[09:57] <SurfnKid> PurpZeY: ok cool, that gives some hope :)
[09:57] <yell8w> aptitude |ivan_
[09:57] <tony_> then try to open up a divx file
[09:57] <bluebanana> How come when I delete/uninstall/remove a program via add/remove or via synaptic, it still leaves a ".foo" folder in my home directory?
[09:57] <yell8w> !aptitude |ivan_
[09:57] <ubotu> ivan_: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[09:57] <ivan_> k
[09:57] <PurpZeY> SurfnKid: google it
[09:57] <bluebanana> pls use my name when you reply
[09:57] <SurfnKid> PurpZeY: I would think its as easy as installing it on the embedded computer
[09:57] <Don64> ok mine shows the external amp at the very bottom of the options
[09:57] <SurfnKid> PurpZeY: yeah im on it
[09:57] <tony_> it *might* ask you if you want to download the codecs
[09:58] <ivan_> i can viw mp4 n avi mpeg video
[09:58] <missy85> Don64: oh ok weird. thnx for your help anyways
[09:58] <ivan_> view
[09:58] <tony_> sweet
[09:58] <TexasTaz> ivan_ goto this page it will show you how to do your desktop -> http://www.howtoforge.com/the_perfect_desktop_ubuntu7.04 it's a start and you can learn alot about how to do things in your new environment
[09:58] <Don64> good luck
[09:58] <missy85> heh thnx 8-] 
[09:58] <ivan_> thanks
[09:58] <thefallenarchang> purpzey ok got through everything but the modprobe ath_pci part i hit enter it just returned to the prompt
[09:58] <tony_> and ivan if you want to install stuff with Synaptic just go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[09:59] <tony_> and search for keywords of what you're looking for or search by section
[09:59] <tony_> lots of cool stuff in there...
[09:59] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: I'm not sure what you were up to in the big picture...is it supposed to return something?
[09:59] <ivan_> ok i will use da
[09:59] <zparta> hi, i followed the fakeraid howto but now when i got it running there is alot of apps missing in the system->administration menu anyone know how i can get them there ?
[10:00] <thefallenarchang> purpzey don't know it says it is supposed to load the driver module
[10:00] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: I am not positive put I don't know that, that command will return something
[10:01] <TexasTaz> Dang forgot to put in my password for my nick wow
[10:01] <Maxalist> Need some help!
[10:01] <cupps> Using XChat... how can I input a server to join (other than the ones already listed)?
[10:01] <TexasTaz> Well spill it Maxalist
[10:01] <Eagleray> Maxalist: what's the issue?
[10:02] <thefallenarchang> purpzey ok the next thing it said to do was to type iwconfig all i got was : lo no wireless extension and eth0 no wireless extenion
[10:02] <cupps> Nvm... stupid question.
[10:02] <TexasTaz> cupps: I think you go to window menu then List Channels
[10:02] <Maxalist> I cant copy my winblows backup files from ubunto back onto my second hard drive
[10:03] <zparta> if there is missing apps in administration menu like synaptics after a custom install like fakeraid is there some way to get the them there i know for a fact that synaptic is installed since i can run it from terminal
[10:03] <PurpZeY> thefallenarchang: Sounds to me like your are up to either an ndiswrapper or acpi install...and it shouldn't be too tough to do, but it *may* take some type to troubleshoot and I have to go to bed. . .So, I am sorry to cut you off, but that is fairly common, so someone should be able to help
[10:03] <thefallenarchang> it then said to bring up the wireless interface by ifconfig ath0 up and i got the message: ath0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[10:04] <zparta> and even though i installed the swdish lang pack everything aint swedish
[10:04] <thefallenarchang> thats ok you have been a big help thx
[10:04] <Eagleray> Maxalist: which filesystem are you using on the second drive?
[10:04] <Eagleray> Maxalist: how are you trying to copy the files
[10:04] <Eagleray> ?
 I tried, it doesn't work
[10:05] <pwngasm> hi, if i have ubuntu installed, and i got another hdd which i want to put windows on....how do i make it so that it will work dual boot
[10:05] <Nutubuntu> Is there a "good" way to get rid of the fonts I don't use, from the stock Ubuntu install?
[10:06] <Maxalist> NTFS File system. When I load winblows it doesn't see any data on the ubuntu drive because of it's format, So I'm kind argh! as it has all my development work on...
[10:06] <hjmills> how can I turn DMA on for my SATA drives in feisty?
[10:06] <Eagleray> Maxalist: ubuntu can't write to NTFS with the default drivers without risking serious data loss
[10:06] <hjmills> sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/sdc isnt working :(
[10:06] <Eagleray> Maxalist: install the ntfs-3g drivers and use those
[10:07] <TexasTaz> ivan_: Use this also it has ten tips to help you get some stuff done you want to do without having to aks questions or give a direction for your question
[10:07] <TexasTaz> http://linuxfordummies.org/index.php?topic=558.0
[10:07] <ivan_> k
[10:07] <TexasTaz> Beleive me ivan_ I needed these bad lol
[10:07] <ivan_> lol i love this OS is fun seen wat u can do
[10:07] <enviouz> while running apt-get update i get the following error: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Packages Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[10:08] <dragonmc> anyone know how i can return an inserted cd's label name from the console?
[10:08] <TexasTaz> I was so dumb when I started on Ubuntu and Still am compared to these people in here but i sorta know where to look for stuff now
[10:08] <Maxalist> But it also says that I don't have the right privileges, and I'm the main user? What about reinstalling winblows as fat32 would that work?
[10:08] <ivan_> can linux read pkg files not dpkg
[10:08] <ivan_> ?
[10:08] <Eagleray> Maxalist: you will need to be root, not the main user
[10:09] <TexasTaz> dpkg is a program to unpack .pkg files
[10:09] <Eagleray> Maxalist: use 'sudo' to run the commands you don't have rights for
[10:09] <pwngasm> hi, if i have ubuntu installed, and i got another hdd which i want to put windows on....how do i make it so that it will work dual boot
[10:09] <Maxalist> I tried logging on as the root, but said I can't log on under that screen mode.
[10:09] <TexasTaz> brb guys
[10:09] <gordonjcp> Maxalist: you can get an ext3 driver for windows
[10:09] <enviouz> anybody know how to fix?
[10:10] <ivan_> Wow this is the best PlayStation uses da pkg.
[10:10] <Lo_Pan> ext3 ifs
[10:10] <Lo_Pan> ext2 ifs
[10:10] <Lo_Pan> even
[10:10] <Eagleray> Maxalist: how are you trying to do this - with a GUI or a commandline?
[10:10] <gordonjcp> enviouz: try a different repo?
[10:11] <tof_> hi
[10:11] <Maxalist> So I do I log in as root; I very new to linux os.
[10:11] <hjmills> any idea about the dma? does anybody have dma on their SATA drives in feisty?
[10:11] <tof_> i have problem with MSS2 codec
[10:11] <Eagleray> Maxalist: Please also address your messages to the user you are talking to - for example "Eagleray: I want to say this"
[10:11] <hjmills> !root | Maxalist
[10:11] <ubotu> Maxalist: 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
[10:11] <gordonjcp> Maxalist: you don't log in as root, you log in as a normal user, and use "sudo" to run things as rot
[10:11] <gordonjcp> root
[10:11] <gordonjcp> hjmills: that's actually not a very helpful factoid
[10:11] <Maxalist> Ealeray: sorry for not addressing you
[10:11] <Eagleray> Maxalist: 'sudo bash' will give you a root shell if you hate typing sudo all the time
[10:11] <gordonjcp> hjmills: consider that a lot of people in here don't have English as their first language
[10:12] <Eagleray> Maxalist: it's all good, you know now
[10:12] <hjmills> gordonjcp, no, it isnt really - I didn't know that. It does give a link which may help though I guess
[10:12] <gordonjcp> hjmills: yeah
[10:12] <hjmills> gordonjcp, is !sudo better?
[10:12] <gordonjcp> !sudo
[10:12] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:12] <gordonjcp> hjmills: yeah
[10:13] <gordonjcp> hjmills: personally I like the matrix quote but I can see how it would confuse people in here who don't speak English natively
[10:13] <enviouz> what repo should i use then? i cant even get system updates because of that
[10:13] <gordonjcp> hjmills: that said they can go ask in a channel in their local language, I suppose
[10:13] <hjmills> gordonjcp, definitely
[10:13] <Maxalist> Eagleray: Cheers, I'll give that a go. If nothing else works, i'll have to get a dvd rw drive, as I cant afford to corrupt the data.
[10:13] <Eagleray> gordonjcp: although the English channel is the most active as far as I know
[10:13] <gordonjcp> Eagleray: true
[10:14] <Eagleray> Maxalist: OK - good luck
[10:14] <ivan_> Where can i download DPKG so i can start hacking my games.
[10:14] <ivan_> ?
[10:15] <Eagleray> ivan_: dpkg should be installed by default, unless you are using a non-debian-based distro
[10:15] <pwngasm> hi, if i have ubuntu installed, and i got another hdd which i want to put windows on....how do i make it so that it will work dual boot??? because i have tried it before, and then windows said something like has to write to mbr so i hit yes, and i couldnt boot into linux only windows
[10:15] <Eagleray> ivan_: which distro are you using?
[10:15] <ivan_> kool
[10:15] <wehttamb_> hi
[10:15] <tof_> wehttamb_ hi
[10:15] <Eagleray> pwngasm: you will need to restore the MBR part of grub
[10:15] <ivan_> where would i find it if i have it?
[10:15] <Eagleray> pwngasm: this will allow you to dual-boot again
[10:15] <wehttamb_> what is the easiest way to convert all my wma files into mp3?
[10:16] <Eagleray> ivan_: 'which dpkg' will tell you
[10:16] <ivan_> Distro?
[10:16] <ziroday> wehttamb_: mencoder or sound converter
[10:16] <Eagleray> !dpkg > ivan_
[10:16] <wehttamb_> ok
[10:17] <Eagleray> ivan_: which 'release' of linux are you using
[10:17] <Eagleray> ivan_: ?
[10:17] <ivan_> 7.04
[10:17] <wehttamb_> where can i get sound converter
[10:17] <enviouz> gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main Packages Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[10:17] <Eagleray> ivan_: then dpkg is already installed. Please also address your messages, e.e. "Eagleray: I want to say this to you"
[10:18] <ivan_> ok
[10:18] <Eagleray> ivan_: what are you trying to use dpkg for?
[10:18] <Maxalist> pwngasm: Hi, I had the same problem and never resolved it. Winblows and Ubunto kind of don't like each other. I tried installing winblows first but its main boot files became corrupted after installing ubuntu.
[10:18] <jhong> If I've got a WINE app I want to start with the "Open With" dialog, how do I pass through the filename of the file to open to the executable?
[10:18] <Ciorapel> hello
[10:18] <newuser00> i need some advice... what is best for safety, Opera or Firefox?
[10:18] <ivan_> For PlaySation 3 Games i found the store server?
[10:18] <Flannel> Maxalist: They shouldn't become corrupted.  Just superceded.
[10:18] <ziroday> !best | newuser00
[10:18] <ubotu> newuser00: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[10:18] <Eagleray> Maxalist: this is an easy problem to resolve, but for most newbies the easiest way is to install windows before linus
[10:19] <ivan_> I wanna take the lincese off
[10:19] <Eagleray> Maxalist: then it all 'just works' by default
[10:19] <__maiju_|> newuser00: i would tend to think firefox is a bit better
[10:19] <preaction> ivan_: dpkg doesn't do that
[10:19] <TexasTaz> Whoa that wasn't good dang it lol
[10:19] <pwngasm> maxalist: i was thinking of unplugging my ubuntu hdd, then installing windows, then just plug in whichever hdd i want to use
[10:19] <preaction> ivan_: also, i doubt anyone in here will help you to do this illegal action
[10:19] <ivan_> i do da with my hard drive
[10:19] <Eagleray> ivan_: Please address your messages
[10:19] <Maxalist> Flannel: Mine did, I had one of my friend over who was like a linux guru, and even he was scratching his head! Be quite hones, I'd rather do away with windows all together
[10:20] <Eagleray> ivan_: also note that dpkg is not a game pirating tool, nor will most people here help you with doing so
[10:20] <ivan_> i know how to do it already is really not illegal lol
[10:20] <newuser00> __maiju_| thanx
[10:20] <jhong> If I've got a WINE app I want to start with the "Open With" dialog, how do I pass through the filename of the file to open to the executable?
[10:20] <TexasTaz> Hmmmm
[10:20] <ivan_> I got Linux cuzz i hear people use for hacking
[10:20] <Ciorapel> I want to install beryl on Ubuntu 7.04 , and when I type : wget http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/root@lupine.me.uk.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - //////// i get an error
[10:20] <Eagleray> ivan_: believe me, it's not possible to use dpkg for the purpose yo say you use it for - so you cna't already know how to use it
[10:21] <preaction> ivan_: removing and/or breaking encryption is illegal under US law. distributing and/or using material you do not have a license for is illegal under international law. "cracking" (what you call "hacking") is also illegal under international law.
[10:21] <TexasTaz> ivan_:  Dumb move on your part we don't support hacking
[10:21] <ziroday> Ciorapel: no "\\\\\\"
[10:21] <ivan_> ok
[10:21] <newuser00> ziroday, i did mention my preferences, required features, and etc :P "safety" ^_^
[10:21] <Ciorapel> that was from separating the command from my type
[10:21] <aMohammed> Hi there , I was wonderning how to type German special charachters in Gnome without having them on keyboard , is German language support required ?
[10:21] <Ciorapel> I typed in terminal just the command
[10:21] <Eagleray> Maxalist: did you try to resize the windows partition? That's pretty much the only thing that a linux install can/will do that can damage windows
[10:21] <ziroday> newuser00: it falls under the same category
[10:21] <enviouz> anybody?
[10:21] <TexasTaz> ivan_:  Also if you ever get hacked, you'll understand why we don't support that crap
[10:22] <Eagleray> Maxalist: (most newbie distros anyway ;-)
[10:22] <ivan_> i dont supported either
[10:22] <ivan_> but if other ppl use it i dont care
[10:22] <Ciorapel> I get : Connecting to ubuntu.beryl-project.org|80.77.247.17|:80... connected.
[10:22] <Ciorapel> HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found
[10:22] <TexasTaz> I know i have been hacked and had to fight one off not a fun thing to do
[10:23] <Ciorapel> also I try google-ing for some mirrors .. and I found one on nvidia.com .. that is a 404 too
[10:23] <Eagleray> ivan_: we. do. not. support. cracking.
[10:23] <ivan_> ok
[10:23] <preaction> TexasTaz: uhm... unplug it?
[10:23] <ivan_> I format my hdd every month
[10:23] <TexasTaz> preaction: lol can't wasn't an option lol
[10:23] <preaction> TexasTaz: it's always an option, and usually the best one. remove the server from the network.
[10:24] <Maxalist> Eagleray: Yes I did, I tried an automated partition on first install, and then I tried a manual partition. but it was a case that one os would work without the other and even when I got the OS selection prompt, winblows was complaining that it's files were missing.
[10:24] <TexasTaz> ivan_: your conversation here tells me what you're upto and I don't support that nor will I help in anyway
[10:24] <Cdogg> whats the desktop effects channel?
[10:24] <Ciorapel> so ... can somebody help me install beryl ? :D
[10:24] <Flannel> !effects
[10:24] <ubotu> For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[10:24] <preaction> Cdogg: #ubuntu-effects
[10:24] <Ciorapel> thanx !
[10:24] <ziroday> ivan_: ah format wont delete everything
[10:24] <Eagleray> Maxalist: generally windows should run chkdsk after being resized. Even then, there is a small chance of filesystem corruption
[10:24] <ivan_> i know
[10:24] <TexasTaz> preaction: well yeah i suppose it would be.
[10:24] <ivan_> it will delete virus
[10:25] <ziroday> ivan_: are you using ubuntu?
[10:25] <Eagleray> Maxalist: there is a near certainty of it if you are resizing a vista NTFS partition with a non-bleeding-edge distro
[10:25] <ivan_> YES
[10:25] <TexasTaz> Just my boss thought we would lose tons of money with it unplugged, when i told him we were going to lose tons of money anyway he agreed
[10:25] <enviouz> nobody knows?
[10:26] <preaction> TexasTaz: considering the next thing the cracker could do might be "sudo nohup rm -rf /" ?
[10:26] <ziroday> ivan_: then you dont have viruses, it is super hard to get viruses in ubuntu, you have a better chance of winning the lottery
[10:26] <ziroday> !viruses | ivan_
[10:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about viruses - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:26] <ivan_> Damn people now think i H i dont know hacking
[10:26] <ziroday> !virus | ivan_
[10:26] <ubotu> ivan_: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[10:26] <TexasTaz> preaction: I actually did that once when I first started in linux lol
[10:26] <ivan_> k i will read
[10:26] <TexasTaz> Bad mistake rofl
[10:27] <preaction> TexasTaz: a more fun mistake is a forkbomb, especially on a colo server (you have to hard reboot)
[10:27] <zparta> when i try to enable menu items in the menuitem list it imidiately removes the check in the checkbox is this some known problem
[10:27] <Maxalist> Eagleray: I was working from a clean hard dive. I partitioned the drive and installed ubuntu first. after that I installed winblows xp; but it seemed they were always fighting with each other. so I just installed winblows of a second hard drive. I only need to use windows xp for work, so it don't bother me to keep swapping drive when needed.
[10:27] <TexasTaz> I don't allow root via ssh I know it's not full proof but it helps
[10:28] <Ciorapel> does anybody have a mirror for "lupine.me.uk.gpg" ?
[10:28] <hjmills> how can I turn DMA on for my SATA drives in feisty?
[10:28] <Eagleray> Maxalist: windows likes to be on the first partition of the master drive
[10:28] <Eagleray> Maxalist: if it isn't, you need a little bit of grub remapping trickery to make them play nicely

[10:49] <trondhu> hi all.. anyone has any problems with a 3com 3xrwe154g72 under feisty? I have no lights or anything. modprobe prism54 gives an error...
[10:50] <Jordan_U_> cupps, Do you have Desktop Effects enabled?
[10:50] <ziroday> !wifi | trondhu
[10:50] <ubotu> trondhu: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:50] <cupps> Jordan_U_: Yes, does that affect playing videos?
[10:50] <r00tintheb0x> raddy, does "lsmod |grep 8139" return anything?
[10:50] <r00tintheb0x> raddy, work with me here... this actually intrigues me.
[10:50] <r00tintheb0x> :)
[10:51] <raddy> r00tintheb0x: yup, the module is correctly loaded. but used by 0
[10:51] <AJ--> hi just wanna ask how can i make a dialer in ubunto..to my speedstream modem
[10:51] <AJ--> ubuntu*
[10:51] <Jordan_U_> cupps, Yes, you need to change the settings to not use a trick that makes videos use GPU acceleration ( but is not needed when the window manager already has GPU acceleration )
[10:51] <r00tintheb0x> raddy, what module is it using and what kernel version are you using?
[10:52] <cupps> Jordan_U_: Is there a way to edit the settings without just disabling the effects?
[10:52] <btanner> hey, does anybody know how I can setup the bootloader to boot my fedora installation on a hd I just added? fedora used grub.conf and ubuntu uses menu.lst
[10:52] <raddy> r00tintheb0x: module is r8169. kernel is default ubuntu 7.04 kernel
[10:52] <AJ--> anybody knows how can i make a dialer for my speedstream modem
[10:52] <r00tintheb0x> raddy, please give me complete answers :P
[10:52] <btanner> I attempted a to add it to the ubuntu loader but its not working
[10:52] <r00tintheb0x> raddy, RTL8168?
[10:52] <r00tintheb0x> oops
[10:52] <r00tintheb0x> 2.6.20-16?
[10:52] <Jordan_U_> cupps, run "gstreamer-properties" from a terminal or the run dialog ( alt+F2 ) and change the video plugin to the one with no xv
[10:53] <r00tintheb0x> raddy, im taking it your running kernel version is 2.6.20-16?
[10:53] <AJ--> anybody knows how can i make a dialer for my speedstream modem????
[10:53] <r00tintheb0x> AJ--, is it PPPoE?
[10:53] <raddy> r00tintheb0x: the card is Realtek RTL8168/8111 Family PCI-E Gigabit wired ethernet controller
[10:54] <AJ--> r00723r0 yup
[10:54] <ziroday> Eagleray:
[10:54] <Remotes_90> ok, i've added the second user into the secondary group "admin" and it seem to be the correct solution... firestarter starts without any problems!!!
[10:54] <Eagleray> ziroday: yes?
[10:54] <r00tintheb0x> raddy, WHAT KERNEL VERSION!?!?!?
[10:54] <AJ--> r00723r0: ypu its PPPoE
[10:54] <TexasTaz> Alright I got my TV working in Linux yeah life is good rofl
[10:54] <ziroday> Eagleray: sorry mistake
[10:54] <r00tintheb0x> Remorse_, whats not starting as a normal user?
[10:54] <Eagleray> raddy: 'uname -r' if you don't know how to find out
[10:54] <Eagleray> ziroday: lol np
[10:54] <r00tintheb0x> !pppoe | AJ--,
[10:54] <ubotu> AJ--,: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[10:54] <Jordan_U_> cupps, Are videos working now in movie player ( totem ) ?
[10:55] <AJ--> tnx
[10:55] <trondhu> zeroday: thanks for the direction. Card not on the list, but on (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards3com) it comes up as broken because of driverchange.
[10:55] <cupps> Joradn_U_: Same problem with VLC... but ti's working in Totem. And my effects still work.Thanks. :)
[10:55] <TexasTaz> Wow i am using the generic kerne lI wonder why
[10:55] <ziroday> trondhu: sorry you could try ndiswrapper
[10:55] <raddy> r00tintheb0x: 2.6.20-15-generic
[10:55] <r00tintheb0x> Eagleray, would you like to join my guru chan?
[10:55] <Eagleray> r00tintheb0x: sure, why not
[10:55] <Jordan_U_> cupps, There is a way to change it in VLC, I just don't remember how
[10:55] <r00tintheb0x> I need some good knowledgable people to help w/advanced problems.
[10:56] <TexasTaz> r00tintheb0x: Is that you Michael
[10:56] <Jordan_U_> cupps, Now try playing a video on the edge of the cube :)
[10:56] <trondhu> ziroday: I could... I have to find the drivers somewhere though... or I could install edgy again since it worked there "out of the box".
[10:56] <r00tintheb0x> TAZ!!!
[10:56] <raddy> Eagleray: actually, i am currently in vista, thats why, if i am in ubuntu i'll not be chatting here
[10:56] <cupps> Jordan_U_: No problem... thanks for your patience and help. Ooh, good idea... lol.
[10:56] <r00tintheb0x> :D
[10:56] <r00tintheb0x> HOW ARE YOU MAN!
[10:56] <Eagleray> r00tintheb0x: not sure how brilliant I'd be, but I'm happy to try
[10:56] <TexasTaz> Yup How you doing man
[10:56] <r00tintheb0x> !
[10:56] <r00tintheb0x> Im great, thanks!

[10:56] <r00tintheb0x> UNIX administration.
[10:56] <r00tintheb0x> for petris.com
[10:56] <ziroday> trondhu: reccomend just stay with edgy as ndiswrapper may be a pain
[10:56] <TexasTaz> Cool man I hope it works out for you
[10:56] <Raskall> Am I imagining things, or are 64-bit feisty better with 32-bit apps than edgy? All of a sudden I can view my movies in native 64-bit instead of in a 32-bit chroot
[10:56] <Jordan_U_> !offtopic | r00tintheb0x
[10:56] <r00tintheb0x> oh it has
[10:57] <ubotu> r00tintheb0x: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[10:57] <r00tintheb0x> i've bene there for... sorry Jordan_U_
[10:57] <trondhu> ziroday: odd thing though is that the card is viewable under lspci just says disabled and under capabilities access denied.
[10:57] <EcHeLoN> Hi, I'm trying to configure my remote for mythtv with lirc. Everything works fine, except when I press a button, it's command is executed twice.
[10:57] <EcHeLoN>  Not very usefull when you try to mute the sound
[10:57] <EcHeLoN>  What should I do?
[10:57] <TexasTaz> Chekc you .nmsg r00tintheb0x
[10:57] <TexasTaz> ooos

[10:57] <raddy> r00tintheb0x: did you see the kernel version
[10:58] <TexasTaz> 'Yeha he did he is downlevel
[10:58] <ziroday> trondhu: if the docs say it dosnt work under fiesty it dosnt work under fiesty
[10:58] <r00tintheb0x> raddy, no i didnt, please paste again
[10:58] <TexasTaz> raddy he hasn't updated or upgraded yet
[10:58] <hanseatic> anyone knows a howto or doc for setting up dual screens with tow cards?
[10:58] <TexasTaz> he is downlevel one
[10:58] <TexasTaz> This is what I have for kerenel2.6.20-16-generic
[10:58] <TexasTaz> Kernel even
[10:58] <EcHeLoN> I want to setup tv-out on my nvidia card so I have clone image on tv
[10:59] <EcHeLoN> how?
[10:59] <trondhu> ziroday: ok. I'll install edgy on the machine again.
[10:59] <trondhu> ziroday: thanks for all the help.
[11:00] <haggis> I'm trying to run 'ifup ra0' but I get the error "/etc/network/interfaces:20: misplaced option"
[11:00] <ziroday> trondhu: np, and gutsy should be better as it has support (limited) for winmodems, i found fiesty broke a few wireless drivers
[11:00] <frank__> r there anyone form china?
[11:01] <trondhu> ziroday: I c... thats nice.

[11:01] <ubotu> frank_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[11:01] <GoRk> oups dsl :/
[11:01] <fm> hi
[11:01] <ziroday> hi
[11:01] <GoRk> merci a+
[11:02] <ziroday> wow its quiet
[11:02] <fm> are there alternatives to GTK and Qt for writing nice GUIs?
[11:02] <trondhu> another thing list, might be off topic though: I have a partition for windows on this computer and I want to get rid of it an instead run the os under wmware. Is it a pain to make it work, or is it quite easy? (winxp)
[11:03] <jontec> trondhu: I think vmware has a tool
[11:03] <jontec> trondhu: to take the partiton and make it a vm
[11:03] <frank__>  
[11:03] <coaltar> ntfs-3g might help with ur XP drive...
[11:03] <jontec> trondhu: I was interested at one time, but never looked into it
[11:04] <coaltar> it has some tools that come with it.
[11:04] <Bob_Dole> 
[11:04] <jontec> Bob_Dole: hey, is it the real bob dole? I didn't know bob dole was a linux fan!
[11:04] <jontec> Bob_Dole: (lol)
[11:04] <Bob_Dole> Bob Dole.
[11:05] <Bob_Dole> Bob Dole supports linux.
[11:05] <c_> I can't say this any simpler, over the last to days my whole system seemed to kill it's self. It randomly crashes, I can't open any package manager(apt-get,sysnaptic,update-manager,gdebi...) my usplash wont work. What happened? Did I get a linvirus?
[11:05] <r00tintheb0x> If anyone has problems that no one here can answer and they have no where to turn to... please try #ubuntugurus
[11:06] <trondhu> ccoaltar / jontec: thanks.. I'll look into it.
[11:06] <jontec> #ubuntugurus
[11:06] <jontec> ?
[11:06] <frank__> vbox
[11:06] <gordonjcp> c_: there aren't any viruses for Linux
[11:06] <frank__> 
[11:06] <trondhu> c_ check if you have any rootkits running... do a search for it.
[11:06] <ziroday> !zh | frank_
[11:06] <ubotu> frank_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[11:06] <gordonjcp> c_: when you say "randomly crashes" what exactly happens?
[11:07] <trondhu> c_ also check if you can do find or any other commands and without any errors.
[11:07] <Bob_Dole> I have a problem. but It happens before booting. Grub freezes with just the word GRUB on a balck screen under some previous information from the bios(I would presume.. about what drives it sees and what not )
[11:07] <jontec> gordonjcp: because it's difficult for a program to gain root access.
[11:07] <gordonjcp> jontec: I know
[11:07] <c_> gordonjcp:My processor maxs out, my mouse gets lagy, then it just stops responding.
[11:07] <jontec> gordonjcp: oh, sorry. I though I saw why, never mind
[11:07] <Bob_Dole> It boots via a bootable CD, and not hiitng any key to boot from CD...
[11:07] <gordonjcp> jontec: every so often this channel erupts into a theoretical discussion of how Linux viruses could work
[11:08] <gordonjcp> c_: hm, so not actually crashing but heavily loaded
[11:08] <jontec> lol
[11:08] <c_> gordonjcp: There are viruses, just very very few, and they are very hard to come by.
[11:08] <gordonjcp> c_: well, there are proof-of-concept viruses, but there are no practical viruses
[11:08] <Bob_Dole> Linviruses will become more common, now that dell is selling boxes with linux already on them.
[11:08] <gordonjcp> c_: it *is* possible that you've been rooted though
[11:08] <gordonjcp> Bob_Dole: nope
[11:08] <aa^way> hey is there any FTP with user interface? No commandline ftps please, i need client. gFTP wasnt good, id like to have a C or C++ version not Java version of ftp, because i cant select files with mouse by just selecting them, imo its not possible on java so thats why..
[11:08] <c_> gordonjcp: I installed no new software, and I have a very powerful system. core 2 duo, 2 gigs of ram, the works.
[11:09] <gordonjcp> c_: it's still possible to get rooted
[11:09] <gordonjcp> c_: are you running any servers?  ssh? http?
[11:09] <__maiju_|> viruses are common, but they cant do much on a GNU/Linux system coz of the permissions which are pretty well thought out anywayz. so unless u run everything as root without discretion, u r safe
[11:09] <c_> gordonjcp: What does that mean?
[11:10] <gordonjcp> c_: have you enabled sshd or anything?  if you don't know what that is, probably not ;-)
[11:10] <murrayc> It's more likely to be a hardware failure, such as a failed hard drive.
[11:10] <c_> I would never enable ssh.
[11:10] <gordonjcp> c_: why not?  It's pretty useful...
[11:10] <gordonjcp> anyway
[11:11] <c_> I have no use for it.
[11:11] <gordonjcp> ok
[11:11] <TexasTaz> c_ if you do just goto your sshd_config and put the PermitRootLogin to no
[11:11] <gordonjcp> TexasTaz: yes definitely
[11:11] <gordonjcp> I can't understand why that's not a default
[11:11] <TexasTaz> me either gordonjcp
[11:11] <gordonjcp> c_: flip to a terminal window <CTRL><ALT><F1> and log in
[11:12] <gordonjcp> c_: then run "top" - it will show you constantly-updating list of what processes are running, and what's using memory
[11:12] <gordonjcp> c_: then flip back to your normal desktop with <CTRL><ALT><F7>
[11:13] <gordonjcp> c_: when your PC starts to bog down, flip back to the terminal running top, and see what's using all the CPU and memory
[11:13] <gD|Lukemob> Hey
[11:13] <gD|Lukemob> someone here?
[11:13] <gordonjcp> gD|Lukemob: lots of people here
[11:13] <gD|Lukemob> Need help with that:
[11:13] <gD|Lukemob> http://gamesdesign.org/phpmyadmin
[11:14] <gD|Lukemob> plz plz plz :)
[11:14] <gD|Lukemob> I got already php5 installed
[11:14] <gordonjcp> gD|Lukemob: what about it?
[11:14] <gD|Lukemob> No idea where's the prob
[11:14] <gD|Lukemob> gordonjcp, you don't see?
[11:14] <gordonjcp> gD|Lukemob: I didn't go to the link
[11:14] <gD|Lukemob> Try it plz
[11:14] <gordonjcp> gD|Lukemob: I don't have a web browser
[11:14] <gD|Lukemob> :S
[11:15] <gordonjcp> what's wrong?
[11:15] <mcd----> I am trying to format an old computer of mine from Ubuntu to winxp... but for some reason the disc won't load up on startup. is there a command i can type in terminal to format the drive so it doesn't have a choice but to load the disc? or doesanyone know the fix to my problem?
[11:15] <gD|Lukemob> When I try to see the PhpMyAdmin... it let me download some file instead of viewing index.php or something...
[11:15] <gD|Lukemob> :S
[11:15] <Bob_Dole> Why would you put windows on anything?
[11:15] <Bob_Dole> besides a virtual machine.
[11:15] <mcd----> haha Bob_Dole
[11:16] <mcd----> it's for a friend who is not good w/ computers\
[11:16] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob: You don't have php5 on for that part of your web did you turn off php5 globally or did you leave it on
[11:16] <gD|Lukemob> gordonjcp, any idea m8?
[11:16] <thedonvaughn> mcd----, uhm try changing boot order in BIOS?  but this is not really an ubuntu support question tho
[11:16] <mcd----> we have tried that
[11:16] <gordonjcp> gD|Lukemob: ah, is php5 working properly for other things?
[11:16] <mcd----> is there a command for terminal to format HD1
[11:16] <mcd----> ?
[11:16] <gordonjcp> gD|Lukemob: sounds like it's not installed properly
[11:17] <Ind[y] > The "About me" in the "Preferences" menu is dependant to Evolution Server?
[11:17] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz, nope, I just used the just the command: apt-get install php5
[11:17] <TexasTaz> gordonjcp: look my question to him a few lines earlier
[11:17] <Bob_Dole> MCD, my system does that. ignores CD's unless I disable the HD as a boot device totaly
[11:17] <thoreauputic> mcd----: actually for someone who is "not good with computers" Ubuntu should be ideal - as long as said person is not a "gamer"
[11:17] <TexasTaz> hmmm Okay hold on let me look at something for you okay
[11:17] <gD|Lukemob> okey
[11:17] <gD|Lukemob> thx
[11:17] <Bob_Dole> Ark Linux and Ubuntu are great for begginers
[11:17] <mcd----> eh
[11:17] <mcd----> she can hardly use xp
[11:17] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob: I think I cna help ya but not real sure
[11:17] <mcd----> windows is best for her\
[11:18] <Bob_Dole> and parts or Ark look more like XP, so easier transition.
[11:18] <thoreauputic> mcd----: I have installed Ubuntu for a non-geek friend and she has used it happily for over a year
[11:19] <Bob_Dole> Problem with ark linux is it has a smaller development team, and zero budget, and less publicity.
[11:19] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz, okey.
[11:19] <pcollins> C
[11:19] <thoreauputic> mcd----: student - uses OOo , uses web mail, listens to music maybe ( I never hear from her so i assume it is working)
[11:19] <Ind[y] > The "About me" in the "Preferences" menu is dependant to Evolution Server?
[11:19] <thedonvaughn> mcd----, not sure what you mean by "format".,  You can format a partition to any FS you want.  you can use fdisk to wipe out the current partition table etc *shrugs*
[11:20] <thoreauputic> mcd----: on the other hand maybe I never hear from her because she's annoyed about Ubuntu ;-)
[11:20] <anakao> hi all
[11:21] <anakao> after using java soft my sound does not work anymore, any help?
[11:21] <anakao> ubuntu feisty
[11:21] <zoko> hi
[11:21] <newuser00> where can i find info on how to fix my desktop resolution? its stuck on 1024/768 max
[11:21] <orbisvicis> !find dvddirgen
[11:21] <Strangelv> Have you tried restarting ALSA?
[11:21] <ubotu> Package/file dvddirgen does not exist in feisty
[11:21] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob: What does your DirectoryIndex Line look like from your /etc/apache2/mods-available/dir.conf
[11:22] <TexasTaz> You are using Apache 2 correct?
[11:22] <Maneki> Hi all, I am having a bit of a crisis with my ubuntu powered thinkpad: it's been on the loading bar for about half an hour now with no progress, restarting it makes no difference, anyone know what I could do to get it running?
[11:22] <anakao> yes and it works but i have to do it eache time after running java soft
[11:22] <__maiju_|> newuser00: which distro and version are u on
[11:22] <gD|Lukemob> DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml
[11:22] <Strangelv> "Do you see text if you hit alt-F1?
[11:22] <thedonvaughn> newuser00, easiest way i know is to add the correct resolution in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  What video card are you using?
[11:22] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz, it looks so:
[11:22] <gD|Lukemob> DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.pl index.php index.xhtml
[11:23] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob: Oka ythat's okay
[11:23] <anakao> yes
[11:23] <opensores> how can i get WPA working in Ubuntu? It only seems to allow WEP
[11:23] <thedonvaughn> newuser00, did you go to system->prefernces->resolution yet?
[11:23] <dlugi> helloo and welcome
[11:23] <dlugi> any body come from poland ?
[11:23] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz: what do you mean by "correct"?
[11:24] <TexasTaz> did you use this to make sure your includes works with php5 and Apache -> a2enmod include
[11:24] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob: that command will make sure the includes are also used at start time
[11:24] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz, a2enmod is enabled.
[11:24] <kraut> moin
[11:24] <TexasTaz> Okay good
[11:25] <newuser00> __maiju_| & thedonvaughn Ubuntu Feisty. im using an ATI AX600xt/td. i have tried sistem->preferences->resolution, but max is 1024/768 at 60Hz, i would like to set it to 1280/1024
[11:25] <r0cks0ul> help
[11:25] <Strangelv> newuser00: youcould try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh -- just note that you'll need to re-add any changes you already have to xorg.conf, such as keyboard variant, et c.
[11:25] <r0cks0ul> problem with gxine cant play any videos
[11:25] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob: Check your mime types file for these five lines
[11:25] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob /etc/mime.types
[11:26] <TexasTaz> #application/x-httpd-php                                phtml pht php

[11:26] <TexasTaz> Make sure none of them have the # in front of it
[11:26] <Strangelv> But this sounds like something that may requicke hacking on xorg.conf.  This is really the only issue I have with Ubuntu where MS Windows is better at something
[11:26] <thedonvaughn> newuser00, are you using ati opensource or closed source driver?  Probably want to enable fglrx driver
[11:26] <orbisvicis> anyone know where dvddirgen is ?
[11:26] <thedonvaughn> newuser00, wiki.ubuntu.com there is a great section on ATI there
[11:27] <Maneki> Anyone able to help me with my feisty issue? Still no progress on the bar, and I'd really rather not have to reinstall the system: it took forever to get wifi working on it.

[11:27] <newuser00> Strangelv i never edited the xorg.conf file, just installed linux for the first time 3 days ago :P
[11:27] <MrEgg964> Hi all :) I have printing issues using Ubuntu Feisty. Network printer (Epson AL-CX11) is installed (ipp, port 631), but each time I send a print job, it returns Stopped:job-stopped. I didn't have this issues using Edgy. Any suggestion ? TIA
[11:27] <Strangelv> Maneki: does art-F1 show you text?
[11:28] <Maneki> Strange: yes it does
[11:28] <Strangelv> newuser00: you may need to
[11:28] <Strangelv> Maneki: anything potentially informative?
[11:28] <newuser00> thedonvanaughn imusing a "restricted" driver
[11:28] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz, yes, thanks m8. Btw, there's no line with # at aplication/ lines.
[11:28] <Maneki> StrangeLv: not to me
[11:28] <Strangelv> newuser00: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh may be able to do it for you
[11:28] <Maneki> StrangeLv:the last line is:
[11:29] <Maneki> kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot...
[11:29] <DerangedDingo> Hey everyone, can someone give me the gconftool-2 command to reset both Gnome panels to defaults?
[11:30] <newuser00> thedonvaughn & Strangelv thank you both i will try your sugestions :)
[11:30] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob: in /etc/mime.types  are you absolutely certain there not their
[11:30] <Strangelv> Maneki: That could sound better.  It stops there.  eep.  I'm out of ideas.  I'm mainly here to try to get help myself
[11:30] <Strangelv> "But no one seems to have a clue
[11:30] <TexasTaz> their not there I meant
[11:30] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz, yes, I am.
[11:31] <Maneki> StrangeLv: thanks for trying then dude, I guess I'll just reinstall the system and spend the weekend crying over my ralink drivers
[11:31] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob: Wow dude that's your problem they need to be there
[11:31] <AlexC_> Morning all,
[11:31] <Strangelv> I have FUBAR video modes I can neither eliminate from being available nor get to work
[11:32] <AlexC_> If anyone knows anything about xgettext - could they take a quick peek at this please? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=488412
[11:32] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz, That # needs to be there at the start of the line you pasted earlier?
[11:32] <Strangelv> So any time something wants to run full screen I get to restart X Windows
[11:32] <tommy_> is linux mint based on ubuntu?
[11:32] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob: no sir it needs to be gone
[11:32] <ziroday> tommy_: yes
[11:32] <TexasTaz> Yo uwant it on globally not per site
[11:32] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz, yes, it's gone.
[11:33] <TexasTaz> You will have to restart apache via /etc/init.d/httpd restart
[11:33] <gD|Lukemob> So, what did you ask me for? Maybe I didn't understand it. :)
[11:34] <TexasTaz> if you are using ssl you will need to do this /etc/init.d/httpd startssl I think it is hold on dang it
[11:34] <TexasTaz> Yeah that's it
[11:34] <gD|Lukemob> bash: /etc/init.d/httpd: No such file or directory
[11:34] <tommy_> I linux mint only different to ubuntu in the graphics, ie; they try to make it look "cooler". Or is there a Big difference between the two?
[11:34] <gD|Lukemob> Maybe
[11:34] <larsivi> did anyone get to test the Dell XPS m1330 with ubuntu yet ?
[11:34] <tommy_> is*
[11:34] <AlexC_> does anyone know anything about xGettext and how to get it to match a different pattern instead of _() or gettext() - I need it to match {L_[Hello over there!] }
[11:34] <gD|Lukemob> /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[11:34] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob: You need to have php5 mime types in the /etc/mime.types file otherwise apache doesn't know what to do with a .php file
[11:35] <stefg> Strangelv: do you happen run a nvidia card?
[11:35] <Strangelv> No, I'm holding out for a notebook with an AMD processor and Ubuntu, theninstall the KDE packages

[11:35] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz, okey m8, I'll check it out again.
[11:35] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob: You need to add those five lines in there if they are not there
[11:35] <stefg> Strangelv: unichrome?
[11:35] <AlexC_> TexasTaz: don't you set the handlers up in Apache for PHP, and not in /etc/mime.types
[11:35] <gD|Lukemob> kk
[11:35] <gordonjcp> AlexC_: what exactly are you trying to do?
[11:35] <Strangelv> ja  UniChome Pro
[11:35] <TexasTaz> gD|Lukemob: Other wise it won't work at all with nothing in php5
[11:36] <Strangelv> stefg: Which I ad better support for in Dapper than in either Edgy or Feisty
[11:36] <AlexC_> gordonjcp: did you see the link I posted? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=488412
[11:36] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz, okey. Let me check it. :)

[11:38] <OutlawProgrammer> is there a way to turn off join and leave messages in xchat?
[11:38] <stefg> Strangelv: i see.... yeahm the driver situation with that is a mess. Looked at the via forums already
[11:38] <gordonjcp> AlexC_: how does xgettext find the text tags as it is?
[11:38] <Strangelv> stefg: where are the VIA forums?
[11:38] <AlexC_> gordonjcp: it doesn't, normally you would just add "echo _( 'Text to be translated' );" or "echo gettext( 'Text to be translated' );" and when you run xgettext it will automatically pick that up (as that is what the default is)
[11:39] <gordonjcp> AlexC_: yes, exactly
[11:39] <gordonjcp> AlexC_: how does it find those tagged bits of text?
[11:39] <gordonjcp> AlexC_: probably some internal regex
[11:39] <AlexC_> gordonjcp: probably, which I need to change

[11:40] <gordonjcp> AlexC_: grep is your friend

[11:46] <AlexC_> yes, has been for a while - it's in the repo's
[11:46] <missy85> ya
[11:46] <Strangelv> I've also heard of problems with FileZilla not treeing with complete success
[11:47] <AlexC_> treeing?
[11:47] <Strangelv> Although this was with the MS Windows version
[11:47] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz, I'm back. So, did you find any way? :S
[11:47] <Strangelv> As it here's a large tree of nested directories.  Grab everything, only it misses a few things

I've tried changing the grub list file( /boot/grub/grub.lst I think) and also the device map and I can't seem to stop it from saying error 17. I've been working on this for a few hours now and I've searched Google and can't seem to find an answer

[11:53] <tommy_> is anyone here using compiz fusion? is it relativly stable to use yet?
[11:53] <AlexC_> tommy_: yep, stable to me
[11:53] <Strangelv> stefg: not quite.  I'm looking for how to eliminate 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 so they don't get used by accident.  HOw to run Blender3D without Xorg spontaneously rebooting is a separate problem I'm not looking at right now
[11:54] <JimQode> does compiz fusion exist in feisty repositories?
[11:54] <AlexC_> JimQode: no, it doesn't
[11:54] <tommy_> is it a Lot better than beryl, or just a few new shiny bits. (compiz fusion)
[11:54] <stefg> Strangelv: tried eliminating them from xorg.conf?
[11:54] <Strangelv> varka: standby: reaching for babelfish
[11:55] <AlexC_> tommy_: define better ;)
[11:55] <Strangelv> stefg: first thing I did
[11:55] <varka> Strangelv: sry, my fault, thought im on the german channel ^^
[11:55] <gD|Lukemob> TexasTaz, I'm registered and I can talk now, I guess.
[11:55] <tommy_> alexC_: thats my problem
[11:55] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: are you on the Live CD now?
[11:56] <AlexC_> tommy_: JimQode http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481314
[11:56] <Sonicadvance1> yes
[11:56] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: so open a terminal and enter: sudo grub
[11:56] <Strangelv> stefg: <Jordan_U> Strangelv, I would backup your old config and update to what Feisty wants by running: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[11:56] <Sonicadvance1> Probing Bios atm
[11:56] <Strangelv> stefg: that didn't work either
[11:57] <Strangelv> stefg: either by trying to eliminate them or trying to get them to work
[11:58] <Sonicadvance1> okay stefg
[11:58] <tommy_> Compiz fusion does look nice..........does anyone here like/dislike the name?
[11:58] <JimQode> AlexC_, thanks!
[11:58] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: at the grub prompt issue: find /boot/grub/stage1
[11:58] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: and tell me what it says
[11:58] <AlexC_> tommy_: #ubuntu-offtopic ;) JimQode - you're welcome

[11:59] <tommy_> ok
[11:59] <Strangelv> stefg: I'm thinking it may be time to file a bug report, but that would still work better with clear keywords (which I've failed to think of to search for this problem)
[11:59] <Sonicadvance1> Already have groot set to it in menu.lst
[11:59] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: so give: root (hd0,5)
[11:59] <Strangelv> stefg: Thank you
[11:59] <Sonicadvance1> okay
[11:59] <Strangelv> varka: danke
[12:00] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: and then: setup (hd0)
[12:00] <Sonicadvance1> done
[12:00] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: type 'quit', reboot and see if it works
[12:00] <Sonicadvance1> Okay

[12:05] <Sonicadvance1> :D
[12:05] <Crack92> does anyone know how to compile cedega CVS??
[12:05] <Sonicadvance1> Might have to do it again though
[12:06] <Sonicadvance1> I had to add some to the partition to back up my stuff, now I need to move the files from the other partition, then delete that other partition and add it to this one
[12:06] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: why? And if you are shifting around partitions on aregular basis consider putting grub to a tiny partition at the begiining of your drive
[12:06] <thedonvaughn> Crack92, i'm sure the cedega installation documents do
[12:07] <Sonicadvance1> After this, I won't be doing it again in the foreseeable future
[12:07] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: uhhh, sounds complicated. have you ever dealt with the concept of mountpoints and symlinks, or even lvm ?
[12:07] <Crack92> but where i can find the documents?
[12:07] <Sonicadvance1> Possibly but I might not know the names
[12:08] <feugan3333> Hi all. Has anyone got vmware-server working on feisty?
[12:08] <thedonvaughn> Crack92, probably close to where you found how to get the CVS source.  I'd check their official site
[12:09] <Sonicadvance1> copying 37GB over may take a while
[12:09] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: so the basic idea is you don't have everything on one big partiton, but have dedicated partitions for , say, the OS, the storage and you /home... but they still appear as one dir-tree (unlike in windows)
[12:09] <JimQode> feugan3333, I haven't tried it but virtualbox is pretty good. You might want to check it out.
[12:09] <Sonicadvance1> nope
[12:09] <Sonicadvance1> I had 3 partitions
[12:09] <Sonicadvance1> I was dual-booting XP x64
[12:10] <Sonicadvance1> and the wine project has gotten to the point to where everything I want it to run actually runs
[12:10] <Sonicadvance1> so I'm swapping over to Ubuntu completely
[12:10] <Sonicadvance1> and now my Scanner and Printer works!
[12:10] <Sonicadvance1> woo!
[12:10] <Crack92> thedonvaughn so i can use only the payment version?
[12:11] <Sonicadvance1> NTFS partitions = ew
[12:11] <feugan3333> JimQode: I'm looking at the website now. Is it similar to vmware?
[12:12] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: so whne you are in the process of reorganizing, do it right NOW... have /home separate to make upgrades or reinstalls easier,
[12:12] <magnetron> feugan3333: virtualbox, qemu and vmware all do the same thing.
[12:12] <cute_bettong> is there an easy way to install e17 in dapper?
[12:12] <Sonicadvance1> Guess it would be nice
[12:12] <JimQode> feugan3333, pretty similar. I'm running gutsy on it now
[12:12] <cute_bettong> like a howto that actually works
[12:12] <Sonicadvance1> How much should I allocate for Ubuntu?
[12:13] <m1r> sonicadvance1 , as much as u can :)
[12:13] <Sonicadvance1> But that leaves so little for my own files =O!
[12:13] <feugan3333> JimQode,magnetron: Thanks
[12:14] <phantom_> my problem libscreensaver is missing from repo. I tried to install a tar.gz but it needs libscreensaver how do I ad it.
[12:14] <Sonicadvance1> hm
[12:14] <Sonicadvance1> Work in 5 hours
[12:14] <cute_bettong> so can anyone tell me how to install e17
[12:14] <Sonicadvance1> haven't slept
[12:14] <Sonicadvance1> what fun!
[12:14] <m1r> how big hdd u have sonic ?
[12:14] <Sonicadvance1> 160GB
[12:14] <Sonicadvance1> and a 37GB
[12:14] <m1r> :)
[12:14] <m1r> 100 ubuntu :)
[12:14] <magnetron> !repeat | cute_bettong
[12:14] <ubotu> cute_bettong: 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
[12:14] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: i think 10GB for the core OS is just fine, then swap (the size of your ram, to allow hibernation) , the rest goes for /home, or some dedicated /store partition, (this is how i do it)
[12:15] <Sonicadvance1> but the 37GB is partitioned to some wierd Mac format that nothing recognizes
[12:15] <m1r> hfs ?
[12:15] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: so back it up and reformat to ext3 or reiserfs
[12:15] <magnetron> or even hfs+ ?
[12:15] <m1r> u have hfs reader in ubuntu rep
[12:15] <Sonicadvance1> ah
[12:16] <Sonicadvance1> There is nothing on the 37GB of importance anyway
[12:16] <m1r> synaptic for it
[12:16] <m1r> then use 37 gb for ubuntu
[12:16] <m1r> it is more then enough
[12:16] <Sonicadvance1> Yea
[12:16] <Sonicadvance1> Geh, File copying, bogging down computer >_<
[12:17] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: if you put a  fdisk -l listing to !pastebin i could advise you on a srategy
[12:17] <magnetron> Sonicadvance1: in what os?
[12:17] <m1r> anyone here using conky ?
[12:17] <Sonicadvance1> Ubuntu? o.O
[12:17] <Sonicadvance1> k
[12:17] <magnetron> Sonicadvance1: in which os is the file copying slow?
[12:18] <Sonicadvance1> Well, 37GB of file copying will never be short
[12:18] <Sonicadvance1> fdisk -l doesn't output anything :D
[12:18] <magnetron> the cpu can't be idle all the time...
[12:18] <m1r> :/
[12:18] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: oh, sudo fdisk -l
[12:18] <kael_>  is there somebody that could tell me how to change rendering on compiz-fusion?
[12:18] <kael_>  aiglx to nvidia or glx
[12:18] <kael_>  and is there somebody who knows ow to get an icon for compiz just like the one on beryl
[12:18] <Sonicadvance1> ah
[12:19] <rgl> Sonicadvance1, fdisk -l /dev/your_hd_device
[12:19] <feugan3333> JimQode: You running the open source version?
[12:19] <Sonicadvance1> hm
[12:19] <Sonicadvance1> Doesn't show the mac formatted HDD
[12:20] <Sonicadvance1> Should I wait until I wipe the mac HDD?
[12:20] <jhong|haseated> If I've got a WINE app I want to start with the "Open With" dialog, how do I pass through the filename of the file to open to the executable?
[12:21] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: ah, i see. no dos compatible partition table on that disk. Are you running a Mactel?
[12:21] <magnetron> jhong|haseated: you should run it in a terminal
[12:21] <xenex> stefg, just wondering, how would having a separate partition for /home be easier for upgrades?
[12:22] <jhong|haseated> magnetron: OK, but still, where does the filename to open go.
[12:22] <Sonicadvance1> Mactel?
[12:22] <Sonicadvance1> Never heard of it
[12:22] <Sonicadvance1> I was playing with Mac OS X in VMware and set it to use my 37GB HDD
[12:22] <jhong|haseated> For excample env WINEPREFIX="/home/jfw/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"
[12:22] <stefg> xenex: upgrades tend to be messy, so most of the time it's cleaner to !clone your package selection and reinstall (quicker, too).
[12:22] <ubuntu> cze
[12:22] <jhong|haseated> where do I put the file I would like notepad++.exe to open?
[12:22] <xenex> !clone
[12:22] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[12:23] <magnetron> jhong|haseated: wait, maybe you should add an icon for the notepad++.exe in the applications menu
[12:23] <JamesX> hi

[12:26] <jhong|haseated> yes, but it doesn't open the file I right-click on -- it just opens notepad++
[12:26] <jhong|haseated> Need to somehow specify the file tio open int he string -- like %s or %v or something, but not sure where
[12:26] <jhong|haseated> or how

[12:28] <zero_panica> so, does anyone have any ideeas what i should try to make my net work?
[12:28] <feugan3333> JimQode: Strange, I could not find it in the repository.
[12:28] <jhong|haseated> so, unlike Windows, where you'd have to specify something like executablename %d , it's not needed in Linux?
[12:28] <magnetron> zero_panica: "it doesn't work" is not a question
[12:28] <JamesX> Feisty keeps Kernel Panic on me, can anyone help
[12:28] <magnetron> jhong|haseated: no, it's implied
[12:28] <zero_panica> do u think disabling IPV6 would make my net work?
[12:28] <jhong|haseated> ah ok... bummer
[12:29] <martiinez> hello
[12:29] <drowner> So, im running feisty on a toshiba laptop. Never had trouble with sound before, had it playing everything. Tnight, whilst playing a song, it started slowing down, like a record being leant on, if you know what i mean, rebooted: no sound. DOn't know what to do next
[12:29] <stefg> !doesn'twork
[12:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about doesn'twork - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:29] <stefg> !doesn't work
[12:29] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[12:29] <feugan3333> zero_panica: Can you see your interface
[12:29] <magnetron> jhong|haseated: there are lots of good text editors that will work better for you in linux
[12:29] <zero_panica> i'm on windows right now
[12:30] <jhong|haseated> magnetron: do you reckon it is implied at the end of the string? If so, need to find a way to move it to before the end quotes in env WINEPREFIX="/home/jfw/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"
[12:30] <nafis_devlpr> does anyone knows, how to install a package from one ubuntu box(with internet connection) to another ubuntu box(without internet connection)
[12:30] <jhong|haseated> Or I need to put it in a script with the filename I want as an input to the script
[12:30] <magnetron> jhong|haseated: doing that won't help
[12:30] <stefg> nafis_devlpr: the trouble will be havinf all the dependencies available
[12:30] <ahmed> hi
[12:30] <robin__> Help! The mouse pointer is invisible!
[12:31] <nafis_devlpr>  stefg: thats the thing
[12:31] <JimQode> feugan3333, Strange. I remember installing it from repo but my memory always fails me so maybe I didn't
[12:31] <nafis_devlpr>  stefg: how to get the dependencies of a package??
[12:31] <feugan3333> nafis_devlpr: You could ssh in, and the do apt-get install blahblah
[12:31] <stefg> nafis_devlpr: what is it that you need to 'sneeker-net' ?
[12:31] <drowner> any thoughts guys? I
[12:31] <drowner> 'm desperate here!
[12:31] <ahmed> i need to control with the bandwidth limits with my neighbors in my network
[12:31] <jhong|haseated> magnetron: I know... I use them But Notepad++ has a great "find in files" feature that I can't find anywhere else. I need to have a "find in files" feature in a lightweight IDE -- any suggestions?
[12:31] <nafis_devlpr>  stefg:???
[12:31] <robin__> Atleast you have a mouse pointer =(
[12:31] <zero_panica> do u think disabling IPV6 would make my net work?
[12:31] <magnetron> jhong|haseated: try anjuta
[12:32] <stefg> nafis_devlpr: 'sneeker-net' == slang word for putting files on usb and carrying it over to the other box
[12:32] <robin__> HOW2 get mouse pointer visible
[12:32] <feugan3333> zero_panica: Can you see your interface?
[12:32] <ahmed> i need to control with the bandwidth limits with my neighbors in my network
[12:32] <magnetron> jhong|haseated: or just open the files with the dialogue in notepad++
[12:32] <feugan3333> zero_panica: And no I don't think disabling IPV6 will work.
[12:32] <jhong|haseated> tried it, but opening new files from the shell opened them in a new Anjuta window, not in a new tab, coouldn't find a way around it :-(
[12:33] <nafis_devlpr> stefg: will that do??
[12:33] <zero_panica> well, what should i try?
[12:33] <stefg> nafis_devlpr: so which package do you need?
[12:33] <TheGateKeeper> nafis_devlpr, stefg what about getting a deb from somewhere
[12:33] <ahmed> i need to control with the bandwidth limits with my neighbors in my network
[12:33] <zero_panica> i have the ip's on auto, and i inputed the dns
[12:33] <feugan3333> zero_panica: You need to answer my question.
[12:33] <stefg> TheGateKeeper: sure, but you need all dependenat .debs, too
[12:33] <zero_panica> that's how my windows works
[12:33] <magnetron> jhong|haseated: if anjuta have no command line option to open it in a tab, i have no idea
[12:33] <JamesX> ------------------------does anyone know what a flashing Caps Lock light means when my Laptop does a Kernel Panic ?
[12:33] <nafis_devlpr> stefg: many, I can't remeber all
[12:34] <zero_panica> i can't see the ubuntu interface if that's the question
[12:34] <mr_daniel> yesterday the nvidia-drivers have been updated
[12:34] <feugan3333> zero_panica: Are you getting an ip address then. You can use the ifconfig command to find out.
[12:34] <stefg> nafis_devlpr: alright, then you might create a local repo CD.... let me look for a link
[12:34] <magnetron> jhong|haseated: it still works though, right? of course, you've already tried "man anjuta" and similar
[12:34] <mr_daniel> after that I am not able to see the GUI of a java-swing-application
[12:35] <mr_daniel> do someone here have the same problem?
[12:35] <nafis_devlpr> stefg:where to get the sneeker-net from??
[12:35] <nafis_devlpr> stefg: do u have any link???
[12:35] <zero_panica> i'll find out
[12:35] <feugan3333> lol
[12:35] <novato_br> how can I get clean my instalation cache ?
[12:35] <novato_br> what is the line command?
[12:35] <defrysk> novato_br, sudp apt-get clean
[12:35] <defrysk> sudo*
[12:35] <novato_br> thx
[12:35] <stefg> nafis_devlpr: that was a joke ! 'sneekers' are sport shoes... you put stuff on the usb-drive and run on your sneekers to the other box :-)
[12:36] <nafis_devlpr> stefg:lol
[12:37] <nafis_devlpr> stefg: i thought it was a program :)
[12:37] <feugan3333> Are requirement for a sneeker-net is sneekers!
[12:37] <robin__> Please how can  get my mouse pointer back
[12:37] <TheGateKeeper> lol

[12:37] <novato_br> dudes, my mplayer is freezing when I watch mkv formats videos
[12:37] <drowner> guys, i know its rude, but im going to repeat my questions
[12:37] <novato_br> why ?
[12:38] <drowner> So, im running feisty on a toshiba laptop. Never had trouble with sound before, had it playing everything. Tnight, whilst playing a song, it started slowing down, like a record being leant on, if you know what i mean, rebooted: no sound. DOn't know what to do next
[12:38] <novato_br> have new version for mplayer?
[12:38] <jrib> nafis_devlpr: check out apt-zip
[12:38] <nafis_devlpr>  jrib: will that also handle the dependencies too??
[12:38] <cupps> Is there a way to get iTunes to run in Ubuntu?
[12:38] <novato_br> wow, coool ! update everyday wowowowowowowoww
[12:38] <jrib> nafis_devlpr: yes, it was created for exactly what you are trying to do
[12:38] <novato_br> new update for wine
[12:39] <novato_br> cool
[12:39] <novato_br> i love linux
[12:39] <drowner> cupps: itunes version 6 can apparently run under wine. What is it you need iTunes for?
[12:39] <stefg> drowner: first check dmesg for suspicious entries for hardware damage
[12:39] <cupps> drowner: Just to move music to/from my Shuffle.
[12:39] <nafis_devlpr>  jrib: thats why I love linux :)
[12:40] <nafis_devlpr>  jrib: there is evrything for everything :)
[12:40] <TexasTaz> nafis_devlpr: ME TOO!
[12:40] <Sonic1> wierd
[12:40] <drowner> stefg: youre going to have to be gentle with me ;)
[12:40] <Sonic1> when did I lose connection?
[12:40] <Sonic1> anyway, can I get some help killing this HDD? :D
[12:40] <JamesX> hi
[12:40] <zero_panica> i am getting an ip adress
[12:40] <Sonic1> Can't seem to format it
[12:41] <zero_panica> it's different then the one in windows though
[12:41] <stefg> drowner: dmesg is a protocol made at every boot.... if there's words like PANIC or 'couldn't initialize foobar' that's worth noticing
[12:41] <LadyNikon> how can i tell which version of ubuntu i have installed?
[12:41] <zero_panica> and the gateway ping isn't working
[12:41] <stefg> drowner: so just open a terminal and type 'dmesg' :-)
[12:41] <drowner> stefg: Done... reading
[12:42] <jrib> !version > LadyNikon (see the private message from ubotu)
[12:42] <drowner> stefg: theres some wrong-looking stuff in there, but nothing that seems to be soundcardy
[12:42] <nafis_devlpr>  jrib: hey its showing invalid command for apt-zip
[12:42] <jrib> nafis_devlpr: it's not installed by default
[12:42] <nafis_devlpr>  jrib: can you give me an example???
[12:42] <nafis_devlpr>  jrib: aah
[12:42] <LadyNikon> anyone know how to tell the version of ubuntu?
[12:42] <stefg> drowner: paste it to !pastebin (as mentioned in /topic) to let me have a look
[12:42] <LadyNikon> cause the bots message was garbled
[12:42] <zero_panica> so like what should i do?
[12:43] <jrib> LadyNikon: lsb_release -a
[12:43] <LadyNikon> ty
[12:43] <Sonic1> dododo
[12:43] <LadyNikon> bedtime gn
[12:43] <novato_br> dudes, what can I do ?
[12:44] <novato_br> a despite about mplayer?
[12:44] <nafis_devlpr>  jrib: thanks dude
[12:44] <m11> i instaled CONKY , system monitor, and writes me on bottom of it: could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrilic, removing from list , and : could not init font path element /usr/X11/fonts/Type1, removng from list, then it says: ProcXCloseDevice to close or not?
[12:44] <drowner> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27924/
[12:44] <m11> is that ubuntu or conky problem ?
[12:45] <novato_br> can I install the newer mplayer version to solve the problem?
[12:45] <novato_br> !mplayer
[12:45] <ubotu> mplayer is a media player. It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs
[12:45] <nafis_devlpr> did anyone use coLinux??
[12:45] <novato_br> !codecs

[12:45] <missy85> does ur ip start with 169
[12:46] <zero_panica> nope
[12:46] <zero_panica> 89
[12:46] <missy85> 8-}
[12:46] <Sonic1> Oi stefg, Got any idea how to get the drive formatted?

[12:47] <nafis_devlpr>  Lamego: no
[12:47] <Sonic1> k
[12:47] <zero_panica> missy85:so should i set the same ip ia have in windows?
[12:47] <Lamego> nafis_devlpr, so I guess you are on the wrong place :)
[12:47] <nafis_devlpr> Lamego:its virtualization of any linux on a windows pc
[12:47] <Lamego> ah
[12:48] <missy85> um if you're connecting through a gateway then set it in the same range as your gateway
[12:48] <Lamego> let me gogle it
[12:48] <zero_panica> i don't know what same range means
[12:48] <nafis_devlpr>  Lamego: googling will get u helps for older coLinux vers
[12:48] <missy85> do you know the ip of your gateway
[12:49] <nafis_devlpr>  Lamego: i need help for the newer one
[12:49] <stefg> drowner: hmmm. complete absence of any sound related stuff... that's suspicious, too. does 'lspci' show sound card drivers loaded?
[12:49] <Lamego> should I be able to install ubuntu over colinux ?
[12:49] <stefg> drowner: hmmm. complete absence of any sound related stuff... that's suspicious, too. does 'lspci' show sound card is recognized
[12:49] <Sonic1> -t is type right?
[12:49] <nafis_devlpr> Lamego: no
[12:49] <zero_panica> i thought i should just copy the settings i have in windows, meaning adress assigned by dhcp, and manual dns
[12:50] <stefg> drowner: does 'lsmod' show sound card drivers loaded?
[12:50] <nafis_devlpr> Lamego: u can either use an image
[12:50] <nafis_devlpr> Lamego: supplied with colinux
[12:50] <nafis_devlpr> Lamego: or
[12:50] <nafis_devlpr> Lamego: invoke your pre-installed linux from windows
[12:50] <stefg> Sonic1: yup... ext3 is the conservative choice, reiserfs is quicker, tho
[12:50] <novato_br> i'll blow up my hears
[12:50] <magnastik> hi
[12:50] <novato_br> the sound is aloud

[12:51] <magnastik> i would need some help installing my Asus USB wireless card

[12:53] <amon__> stefg, Ok, my hunch was right than ;) thanks.
[12:53] <fasdfasdfaf> java  chanel ?
[12:53] <Sonic1> Man
[12:53] <Lamego> ops, damm i guess i can't bit a 64 bits ubuntu from a 32bits windows
[12:53] <Sonic1> I hate this Mac HDD
[12:53] <Lamego> boot
[12:54] <fasdfasdfaf> join #java
[12:54] <nafis_devlpr> Lamego: don't know abaout that
[12:54] <JimQode> Lamego, does 64 bit ubuntu work all right? I was afraid it might not be stable.
[12:54] <Sonic1> Got any other suggestions stefg since that didn't work? :D
[12:55] <Lamego> JimQode, I am using Feisty 64 bits since it was release, no problem found so far
[12:55] <nafis_devlpr> JimQode: it works like a charm on my PC
[12:55] <Lamego> released

[12:55] <cupps> Anyone know why "emulate a virtual desktop" would be greyed out in winecfg??
[12:55] <stefg> Sonic1: oh, the disk has no dos part-table ... either use gparted, or the cfdisk partitionining tool for the cli
[12:56] <drowner> stefg: I'm working on the theory that my soundcard has cracked the poo-poos
[12:56] <magnetron> cupps: because you've selected a specific program
[12:56] <Sonic1> gparted doesn't work
[12:56] <nafis_devlpr> another question
[12:56] <stefg> drowner: as it looks this is the case
[12:56] <Sonic1> It gets an input/output error
[12:56] <magnetron> !doesn't work | Sonic1

[12:56] <Sonic1> lol
[12:56] <Sonic1> nice
[12:56] <nafis_devlpr> how can  install my old Aver-media TV-card on ubuntu??
[12:56] <Lamego> nafis_devlpr, anyway, what is your problem ? in case i hit it when trying colinux
[12:56] <tovella> JimQode: i've used 64-bit, and it worked great... finding ways to get flash, realplayer, & java was a real pain...  i ultimately switched back to 32 bit because i sometimes use apps from get-deb & other sites offering only 32 bit versions.
[12:56] <Sonic1> Let's merge the sentence then

[12:57] <stefg> drowner: seems your soundchip said farewell to this ugly world... no signs there were ever some soundchip present at all
[12:57] <JimQode> Hmm thanks for the pointers :)
[12:57] <drowner> stefg: thankyou
[12:57] <nafis_devlpr>  Lamego: the conf file
[12:57] <drowner> whats the solution here? New soundchip?
[12:58] <stefg> drowner: shouting at the vendor for warranty replacement ?
[12:58] <nafis_devlpr> there is no support for my TV card :(
[12:59] <drowner> stefg: hahahaha the laptop is about 5 years old ;)
[12:59] <novato_br> what is line  command  do can I see mplayer version ?
[12:59] <drowner> Stefg: the system beep still works!
[12:59] <stefg> drowner: get an external usb soundcard... replacing something in the guts of a notebook is too labour intensive
[01:00] <Lamego> nafis_devlpr, I guess your tv card would need to have a "virtual" driver
[01:00] <K350> how to mount a radd 1 is it mount -what /path /path?
[01:00] <drowner> stefg: whats linux support for them like?
[01:00] <nafis_devlpr>  Lamego: ???
[01:00] <Skooter> Anybody know of a ubuntu-intel-graphics channel?
[01:00] <stefg> drowner: shouldn't bu much of a problem... see !hardware
[01:00] <Lamego> that colinux does device driver virtualization

[01:06] <Lamego> magnastik_, #ubuntu-pt please
[01:06] <stefg> Sonic1: so as said earlier i think you need to repartition (not only format) the hfs-drive. it needs a dos partition table
[01:07] <Sonic1> Yea, How do I get one on?
[01:07] <MaDiNfO_> Lamego: *** tas aki :)

[01:11] <magnastik_> MaDiNfO_:  grrrr...
[01:11] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: so it's an apple disk? might be the firmware locks you out (or you need a lowlevel format run to wipe it)

[01:18] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: ah, i see.... strange that some drives are taken as scsi, but the mac-drive is taken as ide.... i'd pull it out, jumper it as master and put it on channel two. something is strange with the hardware setup

[01:22] <iehova> Hi, I have a minor grievance with ubuntu that I'm wondering if anyone could help with. When surfing the net, using apt or many other things, it always takes absolutely ages to resolve domain names, maybe 5 seconds or so. This wasn't the case on XP nor on my old p4 laptop running edgy
[01:22] <iehova> can anyone help?
[01:23] <Sonicadvance1> K, I'll try
[01:23] <TexasTaz> ahmed: http://www.pfsense.com/
[01:23] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: and you are positive that the hardware isn't broken?
[01:23] <Sonicadvance1> yea

[01:24] <ubuntuguru> naah
[01:25] <CarinArr> hey, i'm suddenly (the last few days) experiencing crashes when leaving my laptop "unattended" for longer periods of time. I get back to find a black screen. Pressing buttons/moving mouse makes no difference. And while killing the x-server with ctrl+alt+backspace works sometimes, all sort of weird problems (including wireless cards disappearing) occur until i reboot the system
[01:26] <B-rabbit> hi, i think i got a worm in my computer,can any one help or recommend an anti virus software,which will work........i do have norton anti but i doubt it will work on ubuntu
[01:26] <CarinArr> has anyone else noticed this at all? it's weird because it's only started happening in the last few days
[01:26] <jrib> B-rabbit: why do you think you have a worm?
[01:26] <TexasTaz> Clam Av Works on ubuntu
[01:26] <stefg> CarinArr: can it be that an openGL-screensaver kicks in on a no 3D video?
[01:26] <jrib> ubuntuguru: use gconf-editor to setup a keybinding for the command you want (/apps/metacity/...)
[01:27] <ubuntuguru> thanks jrib
[01:27] <jrib> zparta: what kind of settings?
[01:27] <TexasTaz> Yeah I also had problems like that with energy saver deals in my bios so I turned them offfand haven't had a problem sense
[01:27] <ahmed> i should run open BSD To run pfsense
[01:27] <omha> CarinArr, what happens if your laptop goes into sleep or hibernation?
[01:27] <TexasTaz> ahmed
[01:27] <Pirate_Hunter> how i stop a folder from showing in applications menu?
[01:27] <jrib> JimQode: tried rebooting in recovery mode (option at the grub menu)
[01:27] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: right click on the ubuntu icon -> edit menu
[01:27] <ahmed> yes texastaz
[01:27] <ahmed> iam with you
[01:28] <TexasTaz> No it is build on it it is it's own os / router utility
[01:28] <CarinArr> stefg: i didn't have a screensaver at all.. but i've tested my opengl screensavers and they work fine
[01:28] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: tried that wont allow me to hide or erase the folder
[01:28] <TexasTaz> oops built I meant
[01:28] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: what /does/ it do?
[01:28] <ahmed> it's has interface and donot need any O.S
[01:28] <sidlet> Anybody here use XBMC in conjunction with samba?
[01:28] <TexasTaz> yes it uses bsd as it's os but it is it's own intity you don't need to put bsd on anything'
[01:28] <jrib> K350: what filesystem?
[01:28] <sidlet> i would ask in #xbmc but it appears that i'm banned...
[01:28] <CarinArr> omha: i've never got sleep/hibernation working properly on this laptop, but what bugs me is that i haven't changed any settings and this has only just started happening
[01:29] <ahmed> OKEY IAM DOWNLOADING THE live
[01:29] <stefg> CarinArr: so might be an acpi-issue, or is it temperature related? (signs of ram beginning to fail)
[01:29] <TexasTaz> It burn to a cd and then install on any x86 platform
[01:29] <Wisdom07> hello
[01:29] <ahmed> iam runing ubuntu
[01:29] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: the folder just has to be gone or not showing, I can hide the contents inside of it but I want the folder to go as well from the application menu
[01:29] <jrib> zparta: to change the default shell of a user you can use the 'chsh' command
[01:29] <TexasTaz> Yup that will work for you however it is a good idea to have two nic cards for it to do what it does best
[01:30] <TexasTaz> ahmed that's off  topic s oI am limited there
[01:30] <TexasTaz> I will not be able to talk about it anymore in here sorry
[01:30] <Sonicadvance1> k, brb
[01:30] <omha> CarinArr, wired i think it goes into sleep, check your power management settings
[01:30] <ahmed> okey thanks yexas
[01:30] <ahmed> texas
[01:31] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: but what happens when you click on the checkmark next to the folder?  Does it give you an error?  Does it toggle?  Does it do nothing?  Do you get terminal output if you run 'alacarte' from the terminal?
[01:31] <CarinArr> stefg: as far as i can see it's not temperature related. just rebooting the system when it happens and all temperatures are well within normal, and logically if it was temperature related it would be more likely to happen when i'm sat using the machine rather than when i leave it
[01:31] <ahmed> can any one help to get the IP of anyone talking to me in chat room
[01:31] <jrib> ahmed: why would you need that?
[01:31] <magnastik> hey... what is the meaning of the symbol before "uname" here: sudo cp -v rt73.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/net/
[01:32] <sidlet> thats a single quote
[01:32] <ahmed> iam talking to alot of mercahnts from china
[01:32] <sidlet> and its dividing script from a "command" that will return your kernel revision
[01:32] <jrib> magnastik: it's exactly what it says '`'.  `` is like $(), it runs the command inside and replaces it with the output
[01:32] <Pirate_Hunter> jrib: it doesnt give an error if i was to click on the folder its options are all greyed out and if i uncheck the item in the folder it wont make a difference cause it wont disapear from applications
[01:32] <ahmed> and i need to confirm they are really from china
[01:32] <JimQode> magnastik, that means take the output of uname -r and stick it right there
[01:32] <magnastik> i'm trying to compile asus wl-167g usb drivers
[01:32] <Wisdom07> c
[01:32] <CarinArr> omha: if it sleeps/hibernates, would ctrl+alt+backspace really have any effect?
[01:32] <jrib> Pirate_Hunter: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[01:32] <nprice> s
[01:32] <omha> CarinArr, no
[01:33] <stefg> CarinArr: true... so this leaves the 'machie is trying to go to sleep' theory. maybe some bios setting got messed (weak battery?)
[01:33] <ahmed> jrip i just need to confirm they are really from china
[01:34] <TexasTaz> ahmed: No Problem hope it helps ya
[01:34] <ahmed> iam runing ubuntu and iam a new user
[01:35] <zparta> jrib: yeah figured that out, now i just got to get the settings for the current user to be default
[01:35] <ahmed> and iam working in e-commerce
[01:35] <jrib> zparta: what settings exactly
[01:35] <Wisdom07> hello!i'm new to linux and i ve promblem with skype installation (dependency) on fesity fawn 7.04 so could someone help me?
[01:35] <ahmed> and need to know the ip of trader which i talking with
[01:35] <ahmed> to know they are from china or not
[01:35] <omha> ahmed, theres is a network distro that can setup networks and control them and theres a nice webinterface to everything
[01:35] <zparta> jrib: that beryl starts automaticaly, what apps exists in all the menus what the standard shell is and so on
[01:36] <ahmed> what is it omha
[01:36] <CarinArr> stefg: there are known issues with the bios on this machine and linux in general, i.e. sound doesn't work without acpi=off etc. but i'm not sure how this problem would suddenly crop up in the last few days when it's worked fine for over three months
[01:36] <stefg> CarinArr: bios bufffer-battery might die slowly, so bios resets itself to default settings
[01:37] <CarinArr> my thought was there'll have been something in a recent update that is causing problems on my hardware, was sort of hoping someone else would have noticed similar things
[01:37] <jrib> zparta: well, when you create a new user, it uses /etc/skel/ .  So you can modify that.  For the default shell, take a look at /etc/adduser.conf
[01:37] <Wisdom07> hello!i'm new to linux and i ve promblem with skype installation (dependency) on fesity fawn 7.04 so could someone help me?
[01:38] <stefg> CarinArr: you could verify that theory by booting back to the previous kernel (should still be there
[01:38] <Sonicadvance1> here we are
[01:38] <jrib> zparta: see http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/2.14/gconf-24.html if you want to setup some kind of default gconf settings
[01:39] <CarinArr> stefg: it's not since i updated the kernel though, the newest kernel worked fine for a good while
[01:39] <Sonicadvance1> I now need a command to use, I completely forgot it while waiting
[01:39] <Sonicadvance1> :D
[01:39] <Chaotic_Order> Hi... I have a vpn issue on ubuntu... it can't use dns to translate the server to dial... works find on win vista...
[01:39] <CarinArr> stefg: but yeah, i might try an old kernel next time it crashes and see if it makes a difference
[01:39] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: so were you able to wipe hdd?
[01:39] <Sonicadvance1> not through gparted
[01:40] <Father_D> hello first time in ubuntu ... trying out xchat!

[01:58] <sidlet> Any reason why my workgroup shares exported via samba wouldnt show up in the samba browser on a remote machine? no firewall enabled, network setup looks good as well as smb.conf
[01:59] <Fast--> sorry, had to rush nad clean up "a mess" from one of my rat puppies
[01:59] <jscinoz> jrib, if my application is launched by a shellscript can i just add "MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/blah/blah/blah" to the begining of its script?

[02:00] <amon__> Mag, Yeah they suck - but it's not only them, I cannot listen to VLC videos with music on XMMS at the same time - so I don't think it's bad coding on Adobe's part.
[02:00] <sidlet> as in the rodents
[02:00] <Fast--> ahhh
[02:00] <magnetron> saxin: #ubuntu-effects
[02:00] <stefg> psycardis: do you want to extend the partition, or have a second partition out of the free space?
[02:01] <zparta> jrib: thats only for the login session i want to change the language gdm uses to display the login screen
[02:01] <Fast--> Can anyone assist me in my issue?

[02:01] <amon__> Ahhh!
[02:02] <saxin> magnetron: thanks.. but its not that IRC-channel I'm looking for.. hmmm..

[02:02] <psycardis>  I recently cloned my hard drive on to a larger capacity and now it only recognizes the original capacity can anybody help me? I need to make the OS recognize the full capacity
[02:02] <zparta> jrib: ok
[02:02] <Pirate_Hunter> i have never seen an option to ask adobe, all ive found is that stupid faq qhihc is annoying
[02:02] <missy85> can anyone help me get my alsa sound working right, it goes but is very quiet even with all vollume at max, in any app i try
[02:02] <amon__> I have an idea, how do you switch on FULL DUPLEX?
[02:02] <B-rabbit> will norton anti virus work on ubuntu?
[02:02] <amon__> B-rabbi, No
[02:02] <aimtrainer> hi! I just got a logitech mx revolution. I sthere an easy way to make all the xtra keys work?
[02:02] <amon__> B-Rabbi, and getting a virus on Linux.. is rare, really rare anyways
[02:02] <Pirate_Hunter> psycardis: I ahev no clue how to help you best bet check the ubuntu forum and use the search facility
[02:02] <snipex> B-rabbit u dont need antivirus for linux there aint much viruses
[02:02] <magnetron> !mouse | aimtrainer
[02:02] <ubotu> aimtrainer: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[02:03] <stefg> psycardis: how about actually reading when people talk to you? If you don't pay attention, the stop repaeting, please
[02:03] <psycardis> stefg I would like to extend it so that instead of just recognizing the 20gb (original drive size) it will recognize 320gb (new drive size)
[02:03] <amon__> B-Rabbi, if you get a virus you should get a prize :P
[02:03] <aimtrainer> magnetron, thanks
[02:03] <psycardis> I've already searched the ubuntu forum, there is nothing....
[02:03] <stefg> psycardis: it's better to have such a large drive partitioned . 320 in one piece are quite ineefiacient
[02:04] <psycardis> stefg well right now I can only use 20gb anything would be better
[02:04] <sidlet> Fast--, wanna see my rat?
[02:04] <B-rabbit> but still worms can effect linux, cunt it? because i thin i got a worm on my sys
[02:04] <snipex> only linux worms
[02:04] <stefg> psycardis: type 'sudo fdisk -l' in a terminal and paste it to !pastebin as mentioned in /topic
[02:05] <Fast--> sidlet--, sure.

[02:05] <maxagaz> what is the standard ip adress for a modem ?
[02:06] <missy85> 192.168.0.1
[02:06] <ompaul> B-rabbit, why would you think that?
[02:06] <magnetron> maxagaz: in the lan, it's 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 usually
[02:06] <missy85> or 10.1.1.1
[02:08] <maxagaz> missy85, magnetron: that's local network adresses, I mean the address of the modem, somethinng like 10.0.0.1
[02:08] <cramop> hi, I have installed apache2 on feisty. Are there additional settings to do in order to have ~user directories?
[02:09] <missy85> if you google your modem model you will probably find the default ip
[02:09] <magnetron> maxagaz: the ip on the internet? there is no standard one, all have unique ones. you could find out yours by going to http://showmyip.com or similar
[02:10] <B-rabbit> ompaul-i think i got a worm because when ever i wright some thing the add sign(+) keeps on duplicating it self on the line. for example if i am wrighting:my alias is b-rabbit, then it will come up with.....m+y  na+me is++++ b-+rabb++it spme thing like that, with out me even pressing the key.......is ther any way to solve the problem
[02:11] <B-rabbit> ompaul-its really fustrating
[02:11] <Fast--> cute rat
[02:11] <missy85> meybe u need a new keyboard :P
[02:11] <stefg> B-rabbit: get the goo out of your keyboard?... or buy a new one ? :-)
[02:11] <ompaul> B-rabbit, that looks more like you have some hardware issue, have you restarted X since this issue occurred
[02:11] <psycardis> stefg are you still there?
[02:11] <stefg> psycardis: yes
[02:11] <Fast--> anyone wanna assit me ? :sigh:
[02:12] <stefg> psycardis: so if you put that to pastebin you have to provide the link in here, so that i can find it
[02:12] <B-rabbit> ompaul-no m8 ,wat do u mean by "restarting the X"?
[02:13] <ompaul> !u | B-rabbit
[02:13] <ubotu> B-rabbit: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.  If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you".  The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..
[02:13] <ompaul> B-rabbit, log out and back in again
[02:14] <sidlet> Thanks
[02:14] <psycardis> stefg what is pastebin
[02:14] <hylje> !pastebin | psycardis
[02:14] <ubotu> psycardis: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:14] <B-rabbit> ompaul:yes i +have but ther is+ no effect m8
[02:15] <stefg> thx, hylje ... psycardis , how old is that computer? i think you have a bios problem. the drive is too large
[02:15] <ompaul> B-rabbit, so get a new keyboard it seems yours has a problem, borrow one, to test
[02:15] <Fast--> /me takes the next ticket number 3432423

[02:15] <ompaul> !ask | fast
[02:15] <ubotu> fast: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:15] <psycardis> stefg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27936/
[02:16] <Fast--> was up til 3:00am last night trying to get it to work..
[02:16] <Fast--> I did
[02:16] <Fast--> I have VMware 6.0 installed on my Windows XP Laptop, Anytime I goto install Ubuntu either from mounted image or boot-CD, I get the error message about GBUB not being installed.  In VMware, I have set space for 4gig's for Ubuntu to run on.  Any suggestions?
[02:16] <LinuxDz> excuse me snipex ,i had a problem with gaim and how to set up it
[02:16] <stefg> psycardis: ah, better...
[02:16] <Sonicadvance1> I just realized something
[02:16] <B-rabbit> ompaul-i will try doing that...thanks m8
[02:16] <snipex> linuxDZ
[02:16] <snipex> u still here ?
[02:16] <stefg> psycardis: and forget about the bios problem.... all is good
[02:16] <Sonicadvance1> Before you helped me get Grub fixed, the Mac HDD was being recognized by Ubuntu Live CD
[02:17] <Fast--> Sonicadvance1, you had a GRUB issue to?  what was the resolution?
[02:17] <psycardis> stefg I'm on a separate pc so I can follow any instructions you have...
[02:17] <Fast--> pvm it to me if need be..
[02:17] <snipex> hey LinuxDZ r u here ?
[02:17] <LinuxDz> snipex yeah sorry i had to connect with another pseudo
[02:17] <snipex> ok
[02:17] <Sonicadvance1> Lenthy ness that I don't remember
[02:17] <snipex> so
[02:17] <Sonicadvance1> stefg helped me out though
[02:17] <snipex> u r logged in to linux ubuntu 7.04 ?
[02:17] <Fast--> :sigh:
[02:17] <LinuxDz> yea
[02:18] <etalli__> hello
[02:18] <snipex> and u cant install skype
[02:18] <LinuxDz> yeah
[02:18] <snipex> look at the top left side of monitor
[02:18] <snipex> and click on System
[02:18] <etalli__> 
[02:18] <Fast--> GRUB a common install issue on Ubuntu?
[02:18] <LinuxDz> yes
[02:18] <snipex> then Administration
[02:18] <LinuxDz> ok
[02:18] <psycardis> stefg are you still here?
[02:18] <snipex> and then select Synaptic package manager
[02:18] <ompaul> Fast--, your issue would be with vmware afics
[02:18] <jscinoz> I have a program that attempts to display a webpage using mozembed-linux-gtk2 however it says it cannot find libmozembed-linux-gtk2.so even though it is in the same directory, what can i do to fix this?
[02:18] <etalli__> \nick etalli
[02:19] <snipex> then
[02:19] <etalli__> oops
[02:19] <snipex> find button Search
[02:19] <snipex> when u find it, click it
[02:19] <Fast--> but Ubuntu is supported under VM
[02:19] <stefg> psycardis: so we are just adding partitions, 20 GB is actually quite good for the core OS. we're going to have a separate /home drive, and it would make sense to split off a drive for the media (pics and movies) as well
[02:19] <snipex> and write : libqt4-core
[02:19] <snipex> then click search
[02:20] <psycardis> stefg, if I do that, wouldn't I need to reinstall WoW onto the other partition?
[02:20] <snipex> it will display libqt4-core
[02:20] <bottle> i have youtube.sh in my desktop what is the command that can i download any youtube link??
[02:20] <LinuxDz> i did but,,,
[02:20] <ompaul> Fast--, yeah but we don't support vmware, some people may, but I don't know anything about it
[02:20] <snipex> then right click on it and select Mark for installation
[02:20] <LinuxDz> i didnt find that
[02:20] <snipex> libqt4-core ?
[02:20] <stefg> psycardis: Wow won't notice, if it's installed to your ~/.wine Dir
[02:20] <LinuxDz> yeah
[02:20] <snipex> check spelling
[02:20] <Fast--> so just forgete doing it then?
[02:21] <bottle> please any one help
[02:21] <stefg> psycardis: so get a terminal and enter 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sda'
[02:21] <ompaul> Fast--, or ask vmware and have your cheque book handy when you do, it works for others, whatever your issue is I have no idea
[02:21] <jimmy_> how do i connect to my Dlink wireless router which is running WPA-PSK security? I have tried WPA and WPA2 personal (with my key) but it never connects. I am a new 7.04 user.
[02:21] <Fast--> ok
[02:21] <psycardis> stefg i have a root terminal if that helps
[02:22] <LinuxDz> i did but still same problem :(
[02:22] <FunnyLookinHat> bottle, what is youtube.sh ?  Where'd yo uget it?
[02:22] <snipex> hm
[02:22] <nicola> n.net
[02:22] <stefg> psycardis: good, then just ' cfdisk /dev/sda'
[02:22] <psycardis> stefg ok, i ran that
[02:22] <snipex> when u click search
[02:22] <FunnyLookinHat> bottle, you should probably look at the website you got it from to understand it's use
[02:22] <snipex> what is selected under Look in : ?
[02:22] <Sonicadvance1> oh
[02:22] <stefg> psycardis: so you should see a lot of free space now, right?
[02:22] <Sonicadvance1> I have an idea
[02:23] <bottle> i downloaded it from along time and i forgot
[02:23] <psycardis> stefg correct
[02:23] <LinuxDz> how i could find that?
[02:24] <snipex> when u click search button
[02:24] <stefg> psycardis: so navigate with the arrow keys and choose 'new'
[02:24] <snipex> there should be 2 tabs
[02:24] <snipex> Search : ______
[02:24] <LinuxDz> description and name
[02:24] <snipex> and Look in :
[02:24] <snipex> ok
[02:24] <snipex> try searching libqt4
[02:24] <psycardis> stefg ok.
[02:25] <LinuxDz> still nothing
[02:25] <psycardis> stefg new logical?
[02:25] <snipex> then search libqt
[02:25] <stefg> psycardis: yes
[02:25] <psycardis> stefg and use the remaining capacity?
[02:25] <LinuxDz> i find something
[02:25] <LinuxDz> 4 packages
[02:26] <snipex> names ?
[02:26] <stefg> psycardis: that depends.... if you just want one giant /home, yes. but i think it's better to have like 30 Gigs for /home and the rest for a separate /storage partition
[02:26] <FunnyLookinHat> bottle, well then open up a terminal (Applications - Accessories - Terminal) and navigate to your desktop (cd desktop) then set the file as executable (chmod +x youtube.sh)
[02:26] <FunnyLookinHat> bottle, then try this ./youtube.sh --help
[02:27] <psycardis> stefg what type of stuff goes in /home?
[02:27] <FunnyLookinHat> bottle, if that doesn't give you a help menu or something I don't know what to say
[02:27] <LinuxDz> 1st : adept-installer 2nd :adept-manager 3rd :adept-updater 4th:libqthreads-12
[02:27] <stefg> psycardis: all the user-data (documents and settings)
[02:27] <snipex> ok
[02:28] <snipex> LinuxDz : sorry i cant help u but check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2858155
[02:28] <psycardis> stefg ok, so 2 partition, 1 30gb and 1 270gb
[02:28] <stefg> psycardis: SOUNDS SENSIBLE
[02:28] <stefg> psycardis: OOPS
[02:29] <LinuxDz> snipex ok thank you for that all :)
[02:29] <psycardis> stefg ok so i just created those...
[02:29] <stefg> psycardis: then leave cfdisk. we're going to format those now
[02:30] <stefg> psycardis: don't forget to /write/ :-9
[02:31] <hooper> Can somone advise me where to find the file that holds all the leases that dhcpd has given out?
[02:31] <psycardis> stefg it says wrote partition table, but re-read table failed. reboot to update table
[02:31] <stefg> psycardis: that's normal... so rebooting now ain't a bad idea
[02:31] <snipex> LinuxDz : i just remembered of something that might help u but its risky
[02:31] <psycardis> stefg ok, rebooting
[02:33] <snipex> ppl
[02:33] <novato_br> plz, i  did install newer mplayer version with ./configure and i don't have gui interface, how can I run mplayer with gui interface ?
[02:34] <psycardis> stefg ok, i've rebooted
[02:34] <snipex> sudo apt-get libqt4-core would doenload libqt4-core right ?
[02:34] <snipex> download*
[02:34] <NielsE> sudo apt-get install libqt4-core
[02:34] <snipex> ok
[02:34] <Sonicadvance1> Hey stefg, I got it to show up in gparted correctly
[02:35] <LinuxDz> yeah
[02:35] <NielsE> snipex: with that command it installs it, not only downloads it
[02:35] <snipex> yes i need it to install it
[02:35] <stefg> psycardis: so get your root term again. would help if you can paste fdisk -l again, so i see your new partition table
[02:35] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: so waht was it?
[02:35] <snipex> LinuxDz i maybe found solution but its risky
[02:35] <hooper> Can somone advise me where to find the file that holds all the leases that dhcpd has given out?
[02:36] <Sonicadvance1> Both drives I was testing seems to have had flags to make them bootable
[02:36] <LinuxDz> risky how?
[02:36] <Sonicadvance1> I took it off the Mac one and it popped right up
[02:36] <DaveTarmac> anyone have any experience of using a Belkin Wireless G+ Desktop Card (F5D7001) in ubuntu?
[02:36] <snipex> i dont know
[02:36] <snipex> and thats why it might be risky
[02:36] <spearhea1> hi peeps
[02:36] <psycardis> stefg i just updated the old pastebin
[02:37] <LinuxDz> u know i trid to look on ubuntu packages for feisty but i didnt find that libqt4-core 4.2.1
[02:37] <FunnyLookinHat> DaveTarmac, I don't... but if you're having issues with one a good place to search would be the wiki (wiki.ubuntu.com) and ubuntuforums.org
[02:37] <Sonicadvance1> Which I find really strange actually
[02:37] <LinuxDz> tried*
[02:37] <stefg> Sonicadvance1: drives were jumpered incorrectly, i think
[02:37] <Sonicadvance1> nah
[02:37] <Sonicadvance1> They are both slaves
[02:37] <snipex> well yes
[02:37] <stefg> psycardis: that doesn't work, you get a new link
[02:37] <snipex> but if skype requires it it should work on feisty too
[02:37] <snipex> anyway
[02:37] <Sonicadvance1> I just went in to gparted and it still wasn't available and I noticed it had a boot flag, removed and it mounted itself
[02:37] <DaveTarmac> FunnylookingHat: i'm not having problems yet, just thinking of getting one so I want to know if it's a chore to install/setup
[02:37] <LinuxDz> yeah
[02:38] <snipex> select Applications > Accessories > Terminal
[02:38] <snipex> and enter
[02:38] <snipex> sudo apt-get install libqt4-core
[02:38] <psycardis> stefg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27939/
[02:38] <snipex> but
[02:38] <snipex> did u do it ?
[02:38] <stefg> psycardis: you only madeone new partition.... the 30G one
[02:39] <LinuxDz> yeah i got at the end an error message
[02:39] <snipex> what error ?
[02:39] <psycardis> stefg crap it didn't delete and remake my partition...
[02:39] <LinuxDz>  sudo apt-get install libqt4-core
[02:39] <LinuxDz> Reading package lists... Done
[02:39] <LinuxDz> Building dependency tree
[02:39] <LinuxDz> Reading state information... Done
[02:39] <LinuxDz> Package libqt4-core is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[02:39] <LinuxDz> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[02:39] <LinuxDz> is only available from another source
[02:39] <LinuxDz> E: Package libqt4-core has no installation candidate
[02:39] <stefg> psycardis: so cfdisk again
[02:39] <snipex> in that case im out of ideas
[02:40] <LinuxDz> oh ok
[02:40] <snipex> rly sorry
[02:41] <LinuxDz> no problem snipex ,thanks so much for trying to help me:)
[02:41] <novato_br> how can I make shortcut for my mplayer with line command when I install it ?
[02:43] <Sonicadvance1> keep on running running

[02:44] <FunnyLookinHat> Screphoe, yes it will.  But I wouldn't bother using the 64 bit version, you'll just get frustrated with a lack of good driver support and necessary software (such as a flash-enabled firefox that doesn't crash)
[02:45] <stefg> psycardis: ok, so now in the root term: mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda6
[02:45] <Sonicadvance1> Hm, Should I use the 37GB HDD or the 60GB HDD
[02:45] <Sonicadvance1> choices choices
[02:46] <Screphoe> so i should just use 32bit version to save hassle.
[02:46] <Screphoe> ?
[02:46] <Sonicadvance1> yes
[02:46] <Sonicadvance1> The 64bit Ubuntu is more hassle than 64Bit Windows XP
[02:46] <Sonicadvance1> :P
[02:46] <Sonicadvance1> And that's saying something
[02:46] <psycardis> stefg ok done
[02:46] <Screphoe> true
[02:47] <rgl> Sonicadvance1, what?  you are having problem with uvuntu x86_64?
[02:47] <stefg> psycardis: tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sda6
[02:47] <Sonicadvance1> I tried it
[02:47] <Sonicadvance1> I'm using the 64bit Live CD atm though
[02:47] <Sonicadvance1> Mostly had problems with wine
[02:47] <Sonicadvance1> :P
[02:47] <rgl> Sonicadvance1, so, whats the hassle?    it works fine here...
[02:48] <Screphoe> is there proper driver support for nvidia 7950gx2 graphics cards
[02:48] <psycardis> stefg ok done
[02:48] <Sonicadvance1> whoa whoa whoa
[02:48] <Sonicadvance1> wtf
[02:48] <Sonicadvance1> I went to winehq.com
[02:48] <Sonicadvance1> and it's codeweavers
[02:48] <stefg> psycardis:  mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda7 && tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sda7
[02:48] <Sonicadvance1> oh
[02:48] <Sonicadvance1> their site is offline

[02:49] <Sonicadvance1> neh
[02:49] <Sonicadvance1> At least I try to keep it at 4 lines or less :D
[02:49] <kbrooks> Sonicadvance1, irrevelant.
[02:49] <Sonicadvance1> Shh, they don't know that
[02:50] <kbrooks> Sonicadvance1, the enter key is not punctuation.
[02:50] <kbrooks> Sonicadvance1, please follow the rules, or you're flooding the channel with text water. OK?
[02:50] <Sonicadvance1> nor is the letter 'q'
[02:51] <psycardis> stefg this one is taking alot longer...
[02:51] <Screphoe> Hey should i just install 64bit or download the x86 version?
[02:51] <psycardis> stefg ok done
[02:52] <stefg> psycardis: see what i meant when i said large drives are a bit inefficient?
[02:52] <misty> I'm about to reinstall one of my servers with Ubuntu.  I'm very comfortable with most of it.  However one of the first things I need to do is set up a VLAN connection.  What is the "right" way to do this in Ubuntu?
[02:52] <FunnyLookinHat> Screphoe, x86
[02:52] <misty> I know I can make my own init script with vconfig, but is there a supported way to do it that is better?
[02:52] <Screphoe> ok
[02:52] <Screphoe> thanks
[02:52] <psycardis> stefg how does a partition fix that?
[02:52] <FunnyLookinHat> Screphoe, unless you need really big floating point numbers 64bit is pointlesss...   if you have no idea what a floating point is, then you don't need them  : )
[02:52] <FunnyLookinHat> Np
[02:52] <stefg> psycardis: fine, so run 'blkid' and see if the new partitions got their UUID
[02:52] <jlee> Full croud hear today
[02:53] <stefg> psycardis: put the output to pastebin
[02:53] <cyne> hiya -- anyone know how to burn hybrid (pc , mac, linux ) cds on Ubuntu ?
[02:53] <Sonicadvance1> I want a 1TB SSD
[02:53] <novato_br> somebody heard about TCE = True Combat Enemy ?
[02:53] <novato_br> !TCE
[02:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tce - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:53] <jlee> Hey I noticed my thunderbird mail date format is in European, not American.  Where do you change your date format preferences in Ubuntu?
[02:53] <stefg> !spam | novato_br
[02:53] <ubotu> novato_br: Unsure how you should behave on this channel? See !AskTheBot, !CoC, !Guidelines, !Offtopic, !Language, !Attitude, !Repeat, !Enter, !Paste, !NickSpam - and most importantly, use common sense :-)
[02:53] <novato_br> what?

[02:54] <novato_br> i didn't make spam
[02:54] <dusan> on startup (ubuntu 7.04) my eth0 interface (r8169) is set to 10Mbps and half duplex,  but I can easily change it to 1000Mbps full duplex with ethtool. How to do this on startup and why isn't ubuntu doing that?
[02:54] <westis> Hi. I get this error when trying to install Tomcat5.5 on Ubuntu Feisty: "subprocess post-installation script gae error code 1". Why is that and what can I do about it?
[02:54] <novato_br> stefg, its game
[02:54] <novato_br> i want this game
[02:54] <misty> Anybody know about vlan in ubuntu?
[02:54] <stefg> novato_br: yeah, and this is #ubuntu !
[02:55] <novato_br> i just ask if somebody knows about it
[02:55] <psycardis> stefg did you get that?
[02:55] <stefg> psycardis: ok, all looking good... now we're going to add the drives to /etc/fstab... paste your /etc/fstab as well, plz
[02:55] <magnetron> jlee: it's a either a setting in thunderbird or no setting at all. i have been trying to make evolution use ISO 8601 dates, but it will just use the non-standard way
[02:56] <psycardis> stefg it says permission denied
[02:56] <stefg> psycardis: cat /etc/fstab
[02:57] <jlee> magnetron: I found something on google, that talks about the .bashrc LOCAL settings screwing it up.
[02:57] <jlee>  export LC_TIME=en_DK  # or whatever you want
[02:57] <jlee>  [ "$LC_ALL" != "$LC_TIME" ]  && unset LC_ALL # only necessary if set to something different from LC_TIME
[02:57] <psycardis> stefg 27943
[02:58] <sn0> gD|Lukemob please dont pm
[02:58] <magnetron> jlee: thanks
[02:58] <sn0> ask your question in channel
[02:58] <stefg> psycardis: ok... first we're shifting your /home over. so we mount sda6 temporarily to /mnt and copy it over. 'mount /dev/sda6 /mnt'
[02:58] <amon__> How can I make it so that the Gnome file manager opens new folders, in the same window rather than opening a new window every time?
[02:59] <psycardis> stefg done
[02:59] <sn0> amon__ that is spatial browsing, you can turn it off somewhere
[02:59] <stefg> psycardis: cd /home && cp -a . /mnt
[02:59] <amon__> Sn0, yeah.. but where? :))
[03:00] <sn0> amon__ i always forget, 1 sec
[03:00] <amon__> ok
[03:00] <HostilePenguin> anyone know why i cant print at 600dpi in color only 300 using hplip and 842c hp deskjet
[03:00] <gD|Lukemob> Okey, I forget you hate query's. Sorry! :)
[03:00] <hooper> Can somone advise me where to find the file that holds all the leases that dhcpd has given out?
[03:01] <sn0> amon__ try gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser true
[03:01] <sn0> (i havent tested it)
[03:01] <amon__> ok
[03:01] <sn0> otherwise open gconf and browse to that key and manually change it
[03:01] <psycardis> stefg oops, I probably should have moved WoW out of my home folder first.... that is 9.5gb alone....
[03:01] <sn0> gD|Lukemob its not that i hate queries , im not the only person here :-)
[03:01] <stefg> psycardis: no, thta's exactly like it's planned
[03:01] <Sonicadvance1> Can you change to a resolution that x.org doesn't have in it's configuration file without restarting x server?
[03:01] <psycardis> stefg ok
[03:02] <gD|Lukemob> ok :)
[03:02] <gD|Lukemob> I have 3 HDD's connected to a PC, but on a system I see only 1.
[03:02] <gD|Lukemob> How do I add them all?
[03:02] <gD|Lukemob> fsck?
[03:02] <sn0> gD|Lukemob type sudo fdisk -l or cat /proc/partitions to find out what the disk entries are
[03:03] <sn0> then mount them or add it to the /etc/fstab
[03:03] <nivekc1> how do i make the window list a different color without changing my theme so that it blends with my custom color panel?
[03:04] <jimmy_> do i need to install wpasupplicant to get WPA-PSK working? or is it part of Feisty?
[03:04] <kbrooks> --
[03:04] <psycardis> jimmy_ it is part of ubuntu
[03:05] <brinstar> does anyone know if the badram/badmem patch is available for the recent kernels?
[03:05] <psycardis> jimmy_ it is WPA Personal
[03:05] <brinstar> seems like only the previous kernel patches are available
[03:05] <HostilePenguin> lukemob fdisk to add your hard drives?
[03:06] <jimmy_> Im having problems connecting to my router. I have tried WPA Personal with my key but it never connects. Any ideas?
[03:06] <psycardis> stefg this is going to take along time isn't it?
[03:06] <magnetron> jimmy_: you are to far away from the router?
[03:06] <stefg> psycardis: depends on how quick your machine is
[03:06] <brinstar> is the badram patch in the current ubuntu kernel?
[03:07] <jimmy_> about 1 meter.
[03:07] <AzMoo> Can anybody recommend a good, powerful text editor for gnome?
[03:07] <Sonicadvance1> gedit
[03:07] <Sonicadvance1> :D
[03:07] <psycardis> stefg 2.6 core 2 duo with 4gb ram
[03:07] <stefg> !info gvim | AzMoo:
[03:07] <ubotu> azmoo:: Package gvim does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[03:07] <sn0> gedit is there by default AzMoo
[03:07] <sn0> <3 vim personally :] 
[03:07] <jimmy_> everything is good with the setup, i have other pc's wired and wireless connected to it. ive only just installed ubuntu on this laptop and thats the one i cant get working.
[03:07] <B-rabbit> does any1 know wat VMware Player is used for?
[03:08] <AzMoo> gedit isn't good. I'm looking for something like Kate, but native to gnome.
[03:08] <Sonicadvance1> Virtualization
[03:08] <sn0> B-rabbit for installing virtual machines (operating systems) without having to boot the pc from a cd
[03:08] <psycardis> jimmy_ I'm sorry it looks like I don't know any more than you do...
[03:08] <jimmy_> ok, thanks anyway, ill keep trying.....
[03:08] <psycardis> stefg another question, my system doesn't recognize all 4gb of ram...
[03:08] <kbrooks> sn0, a vm isn't a os.
[03:08] <jlee> magnetron: That didn't seem to work
[03:09] <Sonicadvance1> I think saying "gedit isn't good" is an opinion. I find it quite good in my opinion as I use it for programming in C/C++
[03:09] <kbrooks> sn0, it's a virtual computer with virtual hardware
[03:09] <psycardis> stefg it only sees 2.7gb
[03:09] <sn0> jimmy_ please check the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo wpa guide
[03:09] <gD|Lukemob> sn0, is there any way how to check the info about processor?
[03:09] <kbrooks> sn0, that exists only in programs
[03:09] <sn0> gD|Lukemob cat /proc/cpufino
[03:09] <r34ln00b> can i get he ubuntu-cd total free without any costs, if i trie the ShipIt Request?
[03:09] <psycardis> sn0 thanks i tried to help him
[03:09] <Sonicadvance1> yes
[03:09] <stefg> psycardis: then you need to boot with mem=4096M as boot parameter
[03:09] <sn0> kbrooks maybe i didn't describe it correctyl, but yes i understand what a vm is :) thx
[03:10] <jimmy_> sn0 thanks ill have a look
[03:10] <psycardis> can we change that while it's copying?
[03:10] <r34ln00b> bam! that's really nice!
[03:10] <r34ln00b> thx
[03:10] <gD|Lukemob> sn0, also on Debian?
[03:10] <AzMoo> Sonicadvance1, it certainly is an opinion and completely subjective! I don't mean to demean your choice of text editors, but it doesn't really fit my needs.
[03:10] <sn0> r34ln00b yes you can get a cd for free from shipit
[03:10] <Screphoe> I have a M2N32-SLI Deluxe/Wireless Edition MoBo, does Ubuntu/Linux support the onboard wireless features of this motherboard? it is a Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11g.
[03:10] <psycardis> stefg can we change that while its copying?
[03:10] <magnetron> jlee: i don't use thunderbird, but i still think that it should be a setting within thunderbird or no setting at all. btw it's not "european date format", it's the ISO format, i e international format. :D
[03:10] <sn0> gD|Lukemob this is #ubuntu but yes, same idea
[03:10] <Sonicadvance1> Meh, I was just messing
[03:10] <psycardis> stefg actually it just finished
[03:10] <AzMoo> You can never tell
[03:11] <Sonicadvance1> also
[03:11] <gD|Lukemob> sn0
[03:11] <gD|Lukemob> cat: /proc/cpufino: No such file or directory
[03:11] <Sonicadvance1> don't KDE programs work in gnome? o_O
[03:11] <jlee> Yeah, I know, but I want it to be american format
[03:11] <magnetron> Sonicadvance1: mess with us in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:11] <stefg> psycardis: ok, one prob after the other.... inspect /mnt , all the user-dirs there now?
[03:11] <sn0> gD|Lukemob sorry typo, bit hungover today, its cat /proc/cpuinfo
[03:12] <brinstar> i need help getting the badram/badmem patch working for ubuntu?
[03:12] <AzMoo> Sonicadvance1, yeah, but it's messy and doesn't look right. I'm being totally pedantic about all this, but I was hoping for something that I could look at and say, "That's perfect!"
[03:12] <Sonicadvance1> I see
[03:12] <psycardis> stefg they are
[03:12] <brinstar> is it in the latest kernel
[03:12] <brinstar> ?
[03:12] <gianmarco> i need your help
[03:12] <gD|Lukemob> Ah, thank you sn0, sir. :>
[03:13] <nivekc1> how do i make the window list a different color without changing my theme so that it blends with my custom color panel?+
[03:13] <Screphoe> I have a M2N32-SLI Deluxe/Wireless Edition MoBo, does Ubuntu/Linux support the onboard wireless features of this motherboard? it is a Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11g
[03:13] <gianmarco> how can i do tasks automatically with files?
[03:13] <bottle> i want know the differencies between ubuntu and free bsd?
[03:13] <stefg> psycardis: ok, then we're going to replace fstab. has the box in question net access?
[03:13] <AzMoo> bottle, one's a linux distribution, one's a bsd.
[03:13] <imperial_effect> Linux UNIX
[03:14] <psycardis> stefg yes it does
[03:14] <westis> Found a fix for Tomcat5.5. But now get this error when trying to install the driver for the printer Brother HL-5130: /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/postrm: 3: /etc/init.d/lpd: Permission denied. Anybody with a clue?
[03:14] <drust_> hi
[03:14] <sn0> Screphoe that wireless should work automatically
[03:14] <stefg> ok, hold on a sec
[03:14] <AzMoo> gianmarco, what do you mean? Like schedule file operations at particular times?
[03:14] <magnetron> gianmarco: yes, install gnome-schedule
[03:14] <hooper> westis: try using sudo to install the driver.
[03:14] <dhuid> how can I see shoutcast television on vlc?
[03:14] <gianmarco> no, like move a file over ssh when it got downloaded
[03:15] <gianmarco> do i need some sort of loop in a script?
[03:15] <gianmarco> is there a better way?
[03:15] <magnetron> gianmarco: the better way would be to download it directly to that ssh server using sftp
[03:15] <wolfspirit> question.. is there a way to mount Darwin UFS in Ubuntu Linux?  My buddy gave me his external drive which he made under Mac OSX and Linux is reporting that it was Darwin UFS.. I try mounting it as read only with a filesystem type of ufs and it says it mounts but if you try to do an ls on the mount point it gives you a read/write error and something about badmagic in kernel messages
[03:16] <gD|Lukemob> sn0, I have no idea how to add a next HDD to /etc/fstab... couldn't you do it for me please?
[03:16] <sn0> gD|Lukemob instead of me doing it can you please explain what you are doing? or why it isn't working
[03:16] <gianmarco> ok, but what about other actions?
[03:16] <gD|Lukemob> sn0, it's workin... I just don't know what to add there.
[03:17] <gianmarco> like moving a file in a different directory for each extension...
[03:17] <gianmarco> or extracting a file...
[03:17] <sn0> gD|Lukemob earlier i said to use sudo fdisk -l to find the disks, can you paste that information to a pastebin site
[03:17] <Lukemob> sn0, yes, of course.
[03:17] <Lukemob> One sec.
[03:18] <westis> hooper: I still get permission denied...
[03:18] <magnetron> gianmarco: if you want those features, you would have to make some sort of script to do it
[03:18] <Screphoe> snO, so ubuntu 7.04 will automatically pick  it up and use it? (onboard wireless)
[03:18] <AzMoo> gianmarco, the only way I can think of is to write a script that moves the files and schedule it with cron or gnome-schedule
[03:18] <sn0> Screphoe it should do, if not then come in here and we will make it work :)
[03:18] <psycardis> lukemob if you dont already know  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org is ubuntu pasteweb
[03:18] <gianmarco> ok, thanks a lot
[03:18] <stefg> psycardis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27946/
[03:18] <gianmarco> it appears i'll have to study some bash...
[03:18] <hooper> westis: I'm not sure then mate, you'd best ask somone else in here as I'm just learning ubuntu myself
[03:19] <westis> hooper: ok, thanks anyway
[03:19] <ceil420> what's "stick" (the menu option) do?
[03:19] <magnetron> gianmarco: ubuntu uses dash by default. maybe it would be easier to make the script in pearl or python
[03:19] <stefg> psycardis: replace /etc/fstab with that and mkdir /store (to have a mountpoint for the big drive)
[03:19] <ceil420> !stick
[03:19] <sydkahn> where is apache installed on feisty fayn lamp?????
[03:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about stick - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:19] <ceil420> ;x
[03:19] <ceil420> no botsnack for you
[03:20] <Lukemob> sn0, here: http://pastebin.com/939523
[03:20] <sydkahn> where is apache installed on feisty fawn lamp?????
[03:20] <magnetron> sydkahn: what part of apache? the config files?
[03:20] <gianmarco> magnetron: yes, i planned to learn python anyway. thanks! bye
[03:20] <sydkahn> webmin can't find it
[03:20] <ceil420> nobody knows what Stick does?
[03:20] <ceil420> 'least i'm not the only one :x
[03:21] <psycardis> stefg how do i replace, it is read only
[03:21] <stefg> psycardis: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[03:21] <chadeldridge> When i start ubuntu my application panel is in the center of my screen until i click
[03:21] <sn0> Lukemob ok and next can you pastebin your /etc/fstab
[03:21] <Screphoe> Thanks snO
[03:21] <chadeldridge> grr sorry
[03:22] <sn0> to see what is mounted already
[03:22] <Lukemob> sn0, yes, here: http://pastebin.com/939525
[03:22] <chadeldridge> When i start ubuntu my application panel is in the center of my screen until i click properites and expand and then unexpand it
[03:22] <magnetron> does dash have a history file?
[03:22] <unimatrix9> what would be the easiest way to script an gui for an bash script?
[03:22] <`4aFkA`> i have reinstaled my windows Xp and when i start the computer the master boot showso only th XP the ubuntu is not there..
[03:22] <psycardis> stefg do i need to reboot after i update it?
[03:22] <gnomefreak> unimatrix9: you might have better luck asking in #bash
[03:22] <sydkahn> magnetron: the config files...
[03:22] <sn0> `4aFkA` please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[03:23] <sn0> a few methods are mentioned there
[03:23] <stefg> psycardis: no... have you made the /store dir?
[03:23] <crdlb> unimatrix9, zenity
[03:23] <unimatrix9> gnomefreak, is bash scripting the easy way? or would gtkdialog do the trick better?
[03:23] <psycardis> stefg how do i do that?
[03:23] <unimatrix9> ah , zenity'
[03:23] <unimatrix9> ok
[03:23] <stefg> psycardis: mkdir /store (as root)
[03:23] <gnomefreak> unimatrix9: python would be the easiest way IMO but depends on your knowledge of the script you choose
[03:23] <stefg> psycardis: and then chmod 775 /store
[03:23] <crdlb> unimatrix9, pygtk is quite simple if you need more than zenity offers
[03:24] <sn0> Lukemob ok so you have a few devices mounted already, but not the rest, you can see the device information from the fdisk paste
[03:24] <magnetron> sydkahn: /etc/apache2 if its version 2 of apache we are talking about
[03:24] <troythetechguy> I'm trying to find some bash docs I'm directed to in the ~/.bashrc file, but the directory does not exist on my 6.10 distro.  Any ideas?
[03:24] <psycardis> stefg done
[03:25] <stefg> psycardis: and then chown root:admin /store
[03:25] <sn0> soo /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdb5 /dev/hdd1 /dev/hdd5 /dev/hdd6 and /dev/hdd7 would need added to the /etc/fstab file
[03:25] <Lukemob> Okey sn0. I just add it under all the others?
[03:25] <gnomefreak> troythetechguy: its there
[03:25] <psycardis> stefg done
[03:25] <sn0> but notice many have different filesystems (ext2/3 fat16/ntfs) so you need to tell it that tooo
[03:25] <sn0> first make a copy of the /etc/fstab file, before editing
[03:25] <sn0> ::)
[03:25] <gnomefreak> troythetechguy: ~/.bashrc is the config for bash terminal
[03:26] <Lukemob> Hehe, yea.
[03:26] <magnetron> does the standard dash of Ubuntu have a command history file?
[03:26] <gnomefreak> troythetechguy: if you are usin GUI file browser than you need to click view>show hidden files
[03:26] <psycardis> stefg when i view /store it only shows the capacity of sda1 not sda7
[03:26] <stefg> psycardis: you can now try it out by 'mount -a' ... check what df -h tells you then. but be aware that you still have the old content of /home residing on sda1. you will have to remove that later if everything works
[03:26] <gnomefreak> magnetron: should if you are using dash
[03:27] <magnetron> gnomefreak: what it is name? .bash_history?
[03:27] <unimatrix9> or crtl+h
[03:27] <unimatrix9> would show hidden files too
[03:27] <sn0> the way the fstab file works lukemob, you have the device first /dev/hdxx followed by the mount point where you want it to be mounted (that location needs to be created first) then the filesystem type, options, and dump/pass
[03:27] <sn0> as it says in the file
[03:27] <gnomefreak> magnetron: it should have made a ~/.dash_history or you would look in /var/logs
[03:27] <sn0> so i would maybe add one line at a time, and type sudo mount -a after saving, to re-scan the fstab file and mount the disk in the desired location
[03:28] <graeme> quick noob question, how do i point the terminal to a directory? having a dumb day and completely forgot.
[03:28] <b0ha> cd
[03:28] <gnomefreak> magnetron: unless you tell it to use dash you are still using bash
[03:28] <troythetechguy> gnomefreak, I can see and read ~./bashrc, but inside ~/.bashrc it says, "# See /usr/share/doc/bash-doc/examples in the bash-doc package." - this is the file I cannot find.
[03:28] <psycardis> stefg http://paste.ubuntu.nl.org/27947/
[03:28] <graeme> balls yeah thats it cheers *embarrassed*
[03:28] <gnomefreak> troythetechguy: what version of ubuntu?
[03:28] <chadeldridge>  When i start ubuntu my application panel is in the center of my screen until i click properites and expand and then unexpand it then it goes back to the bottom of my screen where it belongs.  Does anyone know how to fix that?
[03:29] <magnetron> gnomefreak: really? i thought dash was standard. go figure.
[03:29] <Lukemob> Ohhhhh sn0, it's so hard? :D
[03:29] <gnomefreak> magnetron: dash is what the system uses to run things not what you use
[03:29] <sn0> Lukemob its not really, but until you learn how it works it can be :)
[03:29] <troythetechguy> gnomefreak, 6.10
[03:29] <gnomefreak> magnetron: if you want to use dash type dash in terminal
[03:29] <magnetron> gnomefreak: ok, thanks alot!
[03:29] <gnomefreak> troythetechguy: give me a sec ill look
[03:29] <Lukemob> sn0, will you navigate me please?
[03:30] <sune_sun> why does it auto logon here?
[03:30] <sune_sun> stupid chat
[03:30] <troythetechguy> gnomefreak, Thanks for your help.

[03:30] <Lukemob> okey sn0, thx ;)
[03:31] <psycardis> stefg did you get that?
[03:31] <gnomefreak> troythetechguy: it should install if not already installed
[03:31] <stefg> psycardis: hmmm.... might be the famous blkid bug. try to reboot
[03:31] <sune_sun> Hobbsee: How do I change it? Please help =D
[03:31] <packman86> can u set up a media server to connect on an xbox 360?
[03:31] <gnomefreak> troythetechguy: its not installed by default from what i see on ubuntu-desktop depends
[03:32] <stefg> psycardis: oops... overlooked the line 1 is bad...
[03:33] <stefg> psycardis: something went wrong when pasting... have you already rebooted?
[03:33] <kbrooks> how do i dynamically  limit the amount of data that an application can send at any given time?
[03:33] <troythetechguy> gnomefreak, I see.   To install the bash docs from the cli, I'd do apt-get install?????
[03:33] <psycardis> stefg just finished
[03:33] <kbrooks> and or read at any given time
[03:33] <POVaddct> stefg: which blkid bug are you referring to?
[03:33] <gnomefreak> troythetechguy: troythetechguy sudo apt-get install bash-doc
[03:33] <gnomefreak> oops
[03:33] <stefg> psycardis: and it came up no problem?
[03:33] <gnomefreak> right command i didnt mean to type name twice though
[03:34] <troythetechguy> gnomefreak, Thank you.
[03:34] <chadeldridge>  When i start ubuntu my application panel is in the center of my screen until i click properites and expand and then unexpand it then it goes back to the bottom of my screen where it belongs.  Does anyone know how to fix that?
[03:34] <gnomefreak> troythetechguy: yw
[03:34] <packman86> can u set up a media server to connect on an xbox 360?
[03:34] <Sonicadvance1> Yes
[03:34] <psycardis> stefg nope
[03:34] <Sonicadvance1> There is a program out that lets you stream music to your 360
[03:35] <stefg> psycardis: hangs at a ash prompt, i assume?
[03:35] <troythetechguy> gnomefreak, "yw" is new to me.  Does it mean "your welcome"?
[03:35] <psycardis> stefg but when i navigate to /store it doesn't show the proper capacity, it looks more like the capacity of sda1
[03:35] <gnomefreak> troythetechguy: yes sorry
[03:35] <Frogzoo> troythetechguy: indeed
[03:35] <psycardis> stefg my bad not /store but /mnt
[03:35] <stefg> psycardis: so did the box boot into gnome?
[03:35] <troythetechguy> gnomefreak, Not a problem.  I'm just trying to keep up the the new lingo!   :)
[03:35] <psycardis> stefg yes it did
[03:36] <stefg> psycardis: so the UUID might have been wrong... run blkid again and compare to the ones in /etc/fstab
 how do i dynamically  limit the amount of data that an application can send at any given time?
[03:37] <Lukemob> Ehm, sn0, it's lil bit weird, I don't even know how to mount it.
[03:37] <sn0> Lukemob after saving the file, sudo mount -a (re-scans the file)
[03:37] <Frogzoo> kbrooks: some apps allow you to tune buffer sizes - eg. gxine
[03:37] <chadeldridge> Is there a way to save the current location of the gnome panel?
[03:37] <sn0> you should really read man fstab
[03:37] <sn0> and man mount
[03:38] <psycardis> stefg I think you got mixed up, my hd is /sda not hda
[03:38] <Frogzoo> psycardis: sometimes it's hda, sometimes sda
[03:39] <stefg> psycardis: no, nearly /all/ disks are now sda (libata)... that's the reason for this annying UUID business
[03:39] <Lukemob> sn0, all those hda1, hda2, hda2, hdb1, ... have to be in fstab?
[03:39] <sn0> the one(s) you wish to mount yes Lukemob
[03:39] <foz> hi ive been useing azures and just tried to start a new download and now when it starts up it closes after it has loaded the downloads  im useing ubuntu 7
[03:39] <sn0> it looks like you have 2 linux installs on there, so you will not want to mount the swap partitions most likely, only the data ?
 psycardis: no, nearly /all/ disks are now sda (libata)... that's the reason for this annying UUID business # what is the UUID for?
[03:40] <psycardis> stefg what was the pastebin for the new fstab
[03:40] <stefg> !uuid
[03:40] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[03:40] <stefg> psycardis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27946/
[03:41] <psycardis> stefg those are ll hda's not sda's is that correct?

[03:45] <t2> hi,  i have an 8-channel intergrated sound card that only has 1 pink 1 green 1 blue connectors.  It uses software on windows to allow the blue port to provide output instead of input so that i can connect my 4.1 speakers.   can this be done in linux ?  put the soundcard in 4 channel mode so it can emit output from both the green and blue ports thus i get full surround ?

[03:48] <psycardis> stefg ok i fixed it....
[03:48] <stefg> psycardis: and double check that the UUIDs are correct. run blkid and see if they are identical. blkid has it's attitudes
[03:48] <ProN00b> in feisty, is the enlightenment in apt e16 or e17 ?
[03:48] <gnomefreak> ProN00b: 16

[03:49] <ige1> hello everyone! at startup, the network applet cries, because it won't find some sorta resource. how do i turn that applet off, so it doesnt complain?
[03:49] <stefg> psycardis: run blkid again, and see that the UUIDs for sda6 and 7 are the ones which are in /etc/fstab
[03:50] <magnetron> gnomefreak: is it possible, as an op, to send users to another channel? make them join a channel?
[03:50] <gnomefreak> magnetron: yes
[03:50] <ige1> how do you turn out gnome applets generally? i mean: how do you disable them from loading at startup?
[03:50] <psycardis> stefg they are the same
[03:50] <Ind[y] > I have a Sony Ericsson P900. How can I connect it through USB with my Ubuntu? Are there any drivers?

[03:51] <jlee> Is jimbojw here?
[03:51] <t2> hi,  i am getting 481 MB/sec and 49.78 MB/sec output of "hdparm -tT /dev/sda" on my 7200rpm SATA drive with feisty... are these numbers considered normal or slow ?   thanks
[03:51] <stefg> psycardis: so then run 'sudo mount -a' and check with 'mount' (no arguments) what got mounted where
[03:51] <troopperi_> Ind[y] : do you got memorycard on your phone
[03:51] <Lo_Pan> t2: pretty average
[03:52] <Ind[y] > troopperi_: yes. Memory Stick Duo

[03:52] <Knux`> Q: I got some problems right now with my network , each time I start up ubuntu, to get network , I nee to remove and reinsert my PCMCIA card for it to work.
[03:52] <starz> well!
[03:52] <b0ha> is there a keyboard shortcut for terminal?
[03:52] <starz> now im quad boot again: edgy / xp / feisty / fedora
[03:52] <starz> problem is when installing fedora i put in grub and its crappy at detecting the other os's besides windows
[03:52] <troopperi_> Ind[y] : you can move files if its can selected to storage media....like usb memory
[03:52] <starz> so i got the handy-dandy live cd out and reinitiallized grub for edgy
[03:53] <psycardis> stefg ok, that worked, is there a way to make those partitions show up as drives? or should i just add links everywhere?
[03:53] <starz> but how can i get it to redetect all the os's by hand?
[03:53] <starz> like it did when i first installed it?
[03:53] <t2> Lo_Pan:  strange thing is when i was booted from a liveCD of another distro (PClinuxOS 2007) i got 1000 MB/sec and 55 MB/sec ?!
[03:53] <troopperi_> Ind[y] : but i dont think there is drivers...
[03:53] <juan> if i have grub on a partition do i put the place i mounted the boot partion in as --root-directory=/tmp/boot
[03:53] <magnetron> b0ha: no, but you can add one in System >  Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts
[03:53] <ige1> hello!!1 how do i choose, which gnome applets are loaded at startup?
[03:53] <b0ha> tnx magnetron
[03:54] <Lo_Pan> t2: the first figure is a cached read, its basically just a burst rate
[03:54] <Lo_Pan> t2: run it a few times in a row and see what you get
[03:54] <stefg> psycardis: the whole idea was making the change transparent... if you mount it to  /media they get represented as drives in the 'Computer' view

[03:54] <psycardis> stefg ok, that makes more sense I'll ajust
[03:55] <stefg> psycardis: so now you have sda6 on /home ... leave it there
[03:55] <Lo_Pan> t2: this is what i get off a 120gb disk:  Timing buffered disk reads:  150 MB in  3.00 seconds =  49.95 MB/sec

[03:55] <phillywhitetrash> are sata hard drives supported in ubuntu?
[03:55] <Lo_Pan> both sata
[03:55] <Frogzoo> phillywhitetrash: is this a trick question?
[03:55] <psycardis> stefg ok, so can you help me with the ram issue
[03:56] <phillywhitetrash> i have only used ide drives with linux, i am building a new computer
[03:56] <stefg> psycardis: first you have to tidy up the old /home on sda1...
[03:56] <Commander-Ape> HI, after I tried installing the nvidia-glx-new driver on ubuntu 7.04 X just starts with the nv driver, while on "nvidia" it says : no screen found
[03:56] <Frogzoo> phillywhitetrash: sata & sata II
[03:56] <phillywhitetrash> thanks
[03:56] <troopperi_> Commander-Ape: what card you have?
[03:56] <stefg> psycardis: you can't reach it now, because sda6 is mounted over it
[03:57] <t2> Lo_Pan: significant variation. i got 172 MB in  3.03 seconds =  56.71 MB/sec  on my 120GB SATA(western digital)
[03:57] <Commander-Ape> troopperi_ : nvidia 6600 GT
[03:57] <psycardis> stefg ok so umount /sda6?
[03:57] <starz> argh
[03:57] <Lo_Pan> t2: yeah after you run it a few times it generally gets quicker
[03:57] <starz> anyone?
[03:57] <Lo_Pan> t2: i wouldn't worry about it
[03:57] <dobsonj> is there a good kasbar-like application in gnome?
[03:57] <starz> i need to redo grub like on the install cd!
[03:58] <stefg> psycardis: yeah... but that won't work if you're loggedin as user.... best if you boot to recovery mode and do it from the cli
[03:58] <Commander-Ape> the problem is... I cannot use nvidia-glx or nvidia-glw-new anymore...it says : "no screens found"
[03:58] <stefg> psycardis: or boot the Live CD and remove from there from sda1
[03:58] <psycardis> stefg so live boot?
[03:58] <psycardis> stefg ok
[03:58] <deep`> np: Moby - Lift Me Up (3m05s)
[03:58] <deep`> :
[03:58] <t2> Lo_Pan:  ye im glad for this output... i was running the SATA on an old machine through a controller for a month and system was varely usable.   anyway thanks for the clarification
[03:58] <F00BaR> hey
[03:59] <F00BaR> if i wanted to burn a movie, how would i do it
[03:59] <troopperi_> Commander-Ape: edit your xorg.conf file section driver "nvidia" to "vesa" and i think your x start again
[03:59] <Lo_Pan> t2: no worries
[03:59] <Ind[y] > My Ubuntu doesn't see it, though it sees another Sony Ericsson with a Memory Card. Mine has a Memory Stick, but it cannot be detected.
[03:59] <stefg> psycardis: having a backup of it isn't a bad idea... so maybe tar it up and put it to sda7 before deleting it
[04:00] <Knux`> so erm.. no one?

[04:03] <SoulRaven> i need some software for a tv station, like teleprompter, crawl, telescreen.....anyone?
[04:04] <Kjellviz> hi, i installed kde/kubuntu desktop on a ubuntu installation, how do i reinstall ubuntu/gnome? (some adept updater removed gnome from my install)
[04:06] <Xarros> bonjour
[04:07] <psycardis> stefg ok, i live booted, and tried to delete it from nautilus but its says i dont have permissions.
[04:07] <Stormx2> !fr | Xarros
[04:07] <ubotu> Xarros: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[04:07] <stefg> psycardis: you need a root nautilus... open a terminal an sudo nautilus from there
[04:07] <dedi> i just cant get a resolution over 800x600, my xorg.conf is correct, tried diffrent setups, also tried with framebuffer. nothing works. even on gnome i have only 640x480 and 800x600 on "change desktop resolution". searched with google, but its hard to find keywords. have no clue what to do now
[04:07] <troopperi_> Kjellviz: i think you should to it at graphic mode
[04:07] <Xarros> sorry thank you
[04:07] <stefg> psycardis: and do a backup first to avoid surprises
[04:08] <starz> arg
[04:08] <Stormx2> dedi: What video card are you on?
[04:08] <Kjellviz> troopperi_: what ? dont understand ><
[04:08] <SoulRaven> i need some software for a tv station, like teleprompter, crawl, telescreen.....anyone?help please........
[04:08] <troopperi_> Kjellviz: sudo apt-get remove kde and then sudo apt-get install gnome
[04:08] <dedi> Stormx2, ATI 9800 pro, tried with ati and fglrx drivers
[04:08] <Stormx2> troopperi_: Not quite.
[04:08] <Kjellviz> troopperi_: any problems involved in doing it the opposite way ?
[04:09] <JiffaJaffa> troopperi_, I thought it would be sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
[04:09] <troopperi_> Kjellviz: sure
[04:09] <JiffaJaffa> troopperi_, Then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:09] <troopperi_> Jiffaffa: yes :)
[04:09] <Assassin`> can someone please tell me everything thats needed to get and compile components through svn
[04:09] <Stormx2> JiffaJaffa: Not that either
[04:09] <Assassin`> i know subversion is needed
[04:09] <gnychis> how do i install ddclient as a service so that it runs every once in a while?
[04:09] <troopperi_> Kjellviz: sorry Kjellviz
[04:10] <Stormx2> Removing kubuntu-desktop doesn't help - it's just a metapackage
[04:10] <Stormx2> You'd be better off removing libqt
[04:10] <Kjellviz> troopperi_: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[04:10] <Kjellviz>   gnome: Depends: gnome-desktop-environment (= 1:2.14.3.3ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed

[04:10] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:10] <JiffaJaffa> Stormx2, Fogot about that :)
[04:11] <Assassin`> O_o i'll go look on  forums
[04:11] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: E: Broken packages
[04:11] <Stormx2> Assassin`: sudo apt-get install subversion
[04:11] <Assassin`> thats not all tho
[04:11] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: sudo apt-get update. Do you get any errors?
[04:11] <JiffaJaffa> Assassin`, Wouldnt that just be sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:11] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: it gives lots of errors saying what packages will not be installed

[04:11] <JiffaJaffa> Assassin`, I know that gets near enough everything needed to compile
[04:11] <dedi> Kjellviz, try dpkg-configure -a
[04:12] <Assassin`> that and subversion
[04:12] <Assassin`> ok
[04:12] <Assassin`> thank you
[04:12] <Kjellviz> dedi: ok but wait, im doing apt-get update
[04:12] <Fedman> Can someone tell me how can I change amarok's icon theme to match the 1 of ubuntu
[04:12] <Stormx2> Assassin`: Ususally the website will provide details for checking out.
[04:12] <stefg> psycardis: did you delete /home itself? you still need the /home mountpint to be an empty dir on sda1
[04:12] <Stormx2> Fedman: AmaroK is a KDE app, I'm not sure how easy it would be...
[04:13] <Assassin`> i wish i could install ubuntu without the bulk
[04:13] <psycardis> stefg ok, so i need to live boot and recreate an empty /home ?
[04:13] <Stormx2> Assassin`: Which bulk?
[04:13] <Assassin`> all of the programs :)
[04:13] <Kjellviz> dedi: bash: dpkg-configure: command not found
[04:13] <stefg> psycardis: yeah
[04:13] <Stormx2> psycardis: You could do it under recovery mode...
[04:13] <Assassin`> its fine im not dissing ubuntu
[04:14] <Kjellviz> dedi: adept has uninstalled lots of gnome stuff
[04:14] <Assassin`> i like ubuntu :)
[04:14] <Stormx2> Assassin`: Well, if you don't like them, just remove them.
[04:14] <jimqode> Any launchpad administrators around?
[04:14] <Fedman> Stormx: Thx I know I was actually interested how can I change KDE's icon theme without actually starting KDE :P
[04:14] <Stormx2> Assassin`: Nowadays people have the diskspace to put up with it.
[04:14] <psycardis> stormx2 I don't know how to axcess recovery mode.
[04:14] <Stormx2> Fedman: hah. not sure.
[04:14] <Stormx2> psycardis: It's under the GRUB menu (when you boot)
[04:15] <ariel> alquien conoce el gyache
[04:15] <F00BaR> can you run mIRC on linux?
[04:15] <Assassin`> Stormx2 lol
[04:15] <Assassin`> :)
[04:15] <Stormx2> F00BaR: Uhhhhg. There wouldn't be any point.
[04:15] <Assassin`> i po white people :( 80 gigs... :P
[04:15] <jimqode> F00BaR, yes, with wine. But xchat is much better i think
[04:15] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: nogo on apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[04:16] <F00BaR> jimqode, i like xchat but i dunno how to download or anything
[04:16] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: not even after a apt-get update
[04:16] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: The the apt-get update give any errors?
[04:16] <F00BaR> i also dont know how to burn a download to disk on ubuntu
[04:16] <Lo_Pan> !k3b | F00BaR
[04:16] <ubotu> F00BaR: k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[04:16] <stefg> psycardis: and don't mount the big sda7 directly to /media ... create an empty folder like /media/store as a mountpoint on sda1 (and adjust fstab accordingly
[04:16] <jimqode> F00BaR, have you got ubuntu installed or do you have problems with downloading and installing ubuntu?
[04:17] <troopperi_> Kjellviz: apt-get upgrade
[04:17] <F00BaR> its installed
[04:17] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: no, just one mirror that was down and was ignored
[04:17] <F00BaR> i have an uptime of 35days
[04:17] <Kjellviz> but that was a mirror i added
[04:17] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: How odd. Could you pastebin the complete output of sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?
[04:17] <F00BaR> 19:54:39 up 315 days, 19:08, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
[04:18] <Stormx2> F00BaR: Welcome to the club.
[04:18] <F00BaR> ty
[04:18] <jimqode> F00BaR, nice one ;) if you dont have a power problem or kernel upgrade it will run forever. You can use k3b to burn cds. You can install xchat from synaptic or "apt-get install xchat" from console
[04:18] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: sure thing
[04:18] <Wanne> ver irc.byto.de
[04:18] <F00BaR> xchat is installed
[04:18] <omha> hey i have 2 hhd' in my laptop but only one is used and mounted, how can i mount my 2. disk?
[04:18] <F00BaR> i just need to be able to burn dvds
[04:18] <Stormx2> F00BaR: So use it.
[04:19] <omha> F00BaR, k3b
[04:19] <jimqode> F00BaR, k3b is a great program to burn dvd/cds
[04:19] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: but im doing the apt-get upgrade atm
[04:19] <F00BaR> apt-get install k3b
[04:19] <omha> yep
[04:19] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: Okay.
[04:19] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: seems theres a kernel upgrade there
[04:19] <Stormx2> Ah, okay.
[04:19] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: Get fully up to date, reboot, try again.
[04:20] <omha> my desklets show up in when i switch between programs and use the expo function, how can i make it not?
[04:20] <lllllllllllll> I've got a bit of a problem with gparted. I've got a 20gb hard drive, with 4gb unallocated space, one 11gb ntfs partition, one 4gb ext3 partition, and the linux swap file at the end. I want to use the 4gb unallocated space to extend the ext3 partition, but I can't because there's that 11gb ntfs partition between them. What can I do?
[04:20] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: 10-4, will do
[04:21] <coraline> You could delete the whole system, fix your partitions, and then install it again.
[04:21] <Stormx2> coraline: Wow, that's highly practical >.<
[04:22] <Stormx2> lllllllllllll: Could you give us a screenshot of gparted, so we know what we're dealing with?
[04:22] <coraline> practical don't enter into it.
[04:22] <lllllllllllll> screenshot coming up...
[04:22] <lllllllllllll> How to I take a screenshot in ubuntu? I'm using the liveCD atm
[04:23] <jimqode> lllllllllllll, printscreen key on your keyboard
[04:23] <coraline> xwd?

[04:25] <isabug> Hi, anyone can help me with my question please: Is a service can be stopped/restarted without reboot system?
[04:25] <nestor> ya lo baje
[04:25] <Stormx2> nestor: Read what ubotu put. Thanks.
[04:25] <riddlebox> hrmm, I installed apache and php5, but when I click on a test php file I have firefox wants me to download the file instead of viewing it
[04:25] <Stormx2> isabug: System > Administration > Services
[04:25] <nestor> ok thanks
[04:25] <isabug> I've just built & started Privoxy, but now I don't know how to stop it
[04:25] <Stormx2> riddlebox: Check the wiki page on a LAMP setup.
[04:25] <isabug> It seems I can't see it in Services
[04:25] <`4aFkA`> i have tried the metod to recover my ubuntu after installing windows but it doesn't work :S what should i do
[04:25] <`4aFkA`> ?
[04:26] <Stormx2> riddlebox: I think you haven't got the apache-php5 module, or something
[04:26] <riddlebox> Stormx2,  ok thanks
[04:26] <Stormx2> !lamp | riddlebox
[04:26] <ubotu> riddlebox: 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+)
[04:26] <decherdt> is there a text based install option in the standard Ubuntu 6.06.1 desktop AM64 iso ?
[04:26] <Lo_Pan> !lamp | ubotu
[04:26] <ubotu> ubotu: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[04:26] <Stormx2> Lo_Pan: What was that for.
[04:26] <Lo_Pan> for ubotu
[04:26] <`4aFkA`> i have tried the metod to recover my ubuntu after installing windows but it doesn't work :S what should i do
[04:27] <Stormx2> Lo_Pan: Not a good excuse. Play with the bot in /msg's, please..
[04:27] <troythetechguy> In GUI mode, when opening a terminal, by default is the bash (in my case) session that is launched a Interactive Nonlogin Shell?
[04:27] <isabug> Thanks Stormx2. But I don't see it in System->Administration->Services. And by the way, normally it seems I don't need to restart a services to apply a configuration change, or just depends?
[04:27] <lllllllllllll> OK, hee
[04:27] <lllllllllllll> Ok, here's what I'm looking at re. partitions:  http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x154/MountainGod/Screenshot--dev-sda-GParted.png
[04:27] <Stormx2> isabug: 99% of the time you won't need to restart.
[04:27] <psycardis> stefg ok, i'm back
[04:27] <psycardis> stefg i created the empty /home
[04:28] <Stormx2> isabug; Ooh, that's kinda tricky.
[04:28] <psycardis> stefg so i think that solves the partition problem
[04:29] <Stormx2> isabug: GParted doesn't allow you to move the NTFS left?
[04:29] <Stormx2> isabug: My best guess is that you'll need to make backups and re-partition, then restore the backups
[04:29] <isabug> That's really great, and I heard that only the services started together with system booting would be shown there (Admin>Services), If I start it manually, then it would be there, right?
[04:29] <`4aFkA`> i have tried the metod to recover my ubuntu after installing windows but it doesn't work :S what should i do
[04:30] <Stormx2> Oh damnit, that was meant for lllllllllllll now isabug
[04:30] <Lindir> Hello everybody! Could you help me? I have a trouble with my rhythmbox. When I have started it using terminal, I saw: (rhythmbox:4960): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to start mDNS browsing
[04:30] <Stormx2> not*
[04:30] <Stormx2> BAH!
[04:30] <Stormx2> I need to water.
[04:30] <Stormx2> I need water*
[04:30] <Stormx2> o.O
[04:30] <psycardis> stefg did you get that?
[04:31] <Stormx2> `4aFkA`: I'll walk you through it in a few minutes.
[04:31] <SoulRaven> i need some software for a tv station, like teleprompter, crawl, telescreen.....anyone?help please........
[04:31] <lllllllllllll> Stormx2, you would have thought I could have moved the ntfs part left, but it won't let me
[04:31] <psycardis> I recently upgraded my computer 4gb of ram but the system only recognizes 2.7gb of it
[04:31] <`4aFkA`> Stormx2 ok..
[04:31] <Oggu> How can i get smething similiar to windows dxdiag-file?
[04:32] <psycardis> Oggu try nvidia-settings
[04:32] <lllllllllllll> http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x154/MountainGod/Screenshot.png
[04:32] <troythetechguy> In GUI mode, when opening a terminal, by default is the bash (in my case) session that is launched a Interactive Nonlogin Shell?
[04:33] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: pae
[04:33] <Chikubu> something has happened to my gui.....all the windows are missing a window bar, i cant drag or reposition them, some windows are non functional like TERMINAL!!  my terminal window comes up as a white square with no place to type...whats happened?
[04:33] <Lo_Pan> i assume you're running 32 bit?
[04:33] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27959/
[04:33] <Oggu> psycardis:  And then?
[04:34] <psycardis> Lo_pan: what?
[04:34] <Lo_Pan> are you running 32bit ubuntu
[04:34] <psycardis> Oggu I believe it should show all the same information in there
[04:34] <Oggu> psycardis:  I need the file for a beta-key
[04:35] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: the ubuntu server kernels are compiled with pae, that should allow you to see all 4gb of your ram, assuming you're running 32bit
[04:35] <psycardis> Oggu: linux doesn't have dxdiag or dx for that matter
[04:35] <ali1234> Chikubu: your window manager crashed or did not load
[04:35] <Lindir> Do somebody help me with Rhythmbox?
[04:35] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
[04:35] <Oggu> psycardis:  Can i use wine and get it?
[04:35] <Oggu> it is probalby there ill be running the game anyways
[04:36] <psycardis> Oggu I'm pretty sure you can use dx on linux I may be mistaken
[04:36] <Chikubu> how can i restart it in a way not involving terminal as i cant get a terminal window?
[04:36] <stefg> psycardis: was on the phone. Try to sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add mem=4096M to the kernel lines
[04:36] <Oggu> psycardis:  it says not installed? Should i get the dx packages?
[04:36] <ali1234> Chikubu: try moving mouse over terminal window, that may allow you to type in it
[04:37] <ali1234> Chikubu: otherwise you'll have to kill X which will close all running programs
[04:37] <Chikubu> the cursor changes to what looks like a text input cursor, but i cant see what im typing, its just a solid white square
[04:37] <Chikubu> even if i had terminal, how do i restart windows manage4?
[04:37] <Oggu> Chikubu:  Are you using beryl?
[04:37] <psycardis> oggu dx is made by microsoft it's doubtful you can get it running under linux
[04:37] <Chikubu> just a straight ubunto install from live ced
[04:37] <Chikubu> cd
[04:38] <ali1234> Chikubu: press enter, type "metacity", press enter (assuming gnome)
[04:38] <psycardis> stefg where does that need to be in there?
[04:38] <Phydoux> Anyone know where I can get the scanner drivers for a Lexmark X5150? I can get the printer to work but not the scanner. The Z55 I would guess is not an All-In-One.
[04:38] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: just run a pae kernel and it will be fine
[04:38] <lllllllllllll> OK, new question. Can somebody give me a program that will back up a whole partition to a larger HDD, without wiping the contents of said HDD?
[04:38] <Lo_Pan> Mem:          4055       3911        143          0          0       3710
[04:38] <stefg> psycardis: somewhere behind the root=uuid= ....
[04:39] <lllllllllllll> gparted allows you to copy partitions, but only by wiping whatever is on the receiving medium
[04:39] <maxagaz> How to know the configuration ip of my modem ?
[04:39] <ali1234> lllllllllllll: use dd to make an image
[04:39] <riddlebox> Stormx2, I have everything installed that the wiki says to install and it is still wanting me to download the file?
[04:39] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: where do I get a PAE kernel
[04:39] <Chikubu> nothing happens when i type metacity and hit enter, nothing happens if i hit alt f2 and type metacity and enter
[04:39] <Stormx2> riddlebox: Sorry, who are you and what problem are you having?
[04:39] <ali1234> Chikubu: if you have no usaved work, just hit "ctrl-alt-backspace" to restart X
[04:39] <Chikubu> i have a desktop just and some windows work partialy just terminal isnt one of them
[04:40] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: get the server equivalent
[04:40] <lllllllllllll> ah, ok then. Can you direct me to something that will tell me how to use dd? Syntax etc?
[04:40] <Lo_Pan> of your current one
[04:40] <psycardis> stefg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27960/
[04:40] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: uname -a
[04:40] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: did u catch my pastebin ?
[04:40] <Feldegast> hi i am having problems with ubuntu, when i upgraded from 6.10 it was fine, then i had to re-install it so i installed 7.04 without upgrading from 6.10 1st and now i can't access my partitions sometimes
[04:40] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: Yeah. Checking it now.
[04:40] <ali1234> lllllllllllll: man dd. but seriously, just google "dd backup image" or something
[04:40] <Lo_Pan> you want 2.6.20-16-server
[04:40] <Kjellviz> ok, thanks :)
[04:40] <riddlebox> Stormx2, I asked a question a few minutes ago about php and apache, when I go to my test php file, firefox wants to download the file not view it
[04:40] <jimqode> lllllllllllll, man dd. general usage is dd if=[input device]  of=[output device] 
[04:40] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: you want 2.6.20-16-server
[04:40] <Chikubu> i ctrl alt backspace, restarted x, logged on, same problem
[04:41] <ali1234> lllllllllllll: that should get you a page that will also explain how to access the resulting image without copying it back to the hd etc
[04:41] <Stormx2> riddlebox: Restart apache.
[04:41] <FunnyLookinHat>    /lol at lllllllllllll 's name
[04:41] <stefg> psycardis: as i said: each line with a kernel needs mem=4096M added  after the 'ro'
[04:41] <riddlebox> Stormx2, I have tried that as well
[04:41] <Knux> I need help with oidentd :\
[04:42] <ali1234> Chikubu: on login screen try to select a different session type
[04:42] <Chikubu> ok
[04:42] <psycardis> stefg can it go anywhere on the line
[04:42] <lusepuster> Hi folks - When I try to boot into Ubuntu, the progress bar stalls shortly into the process, and after some time I get the error messages from init: Unable to execute /bin/sh for pcS: permission denied, and the same thing for pc-default (as far as I remember, not exactly sure what the names were)
[04:42] <stefg> put it behind the 'ro'
[04:42] <lusepuster> It's worked fine so far, but doesn't anymore
[04:42] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: im gonna do a quick restart of X
[04:42] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: brb
[04:43] <riddlebox> Stormx2, I got it working, I cleared the cache in firefox and refreshed and it started to work
[04:43] <Stormx2> riddlebox: sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4 && sudo a2enmod php5 && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[04:43] <Stormx2> Uhg
[04:43] <Stormx2> s/php4/php5
[04:44] <psycardis> stefg then save and reboot?
[04:44] <Stormx2> riddlebox: php4 should be php5
[04:44] <stefg> psycardis: right
[04:44] <`4aFkA`> Stormx2 u finish?
[04:44] <riddlebox> Stormx2, I got it working, I cleared the cache in firefox and refreshed and it started to work
[04:44] <Stormx2> `4aFkA`: yeah.
[04:44] <Stormx2> riddlebox: Goodo :)
[04:44] <Chikubu> failsafe terminal is all i can get to with terminal, whats wrong with gnome?
[04:44] <Stormx2> lusepuster: Ooh. Have you just installed?
[04:45] <`4aFkA`> Stormx2 I'm listening..
[04:45] <lusepuster> Nope. Does it look bad?
[04:45] <Chikubu> this happened either after i started downloading updates or i tried adding 1280x1024 resolution on or the other
[04:45] <lusepuster> Stormx2: No, does it look bad?
[04:46] <seekers> I just start xchat
[04:46] <psycardis> stefg I just rebooted and it still says the same
[04:46] <Kjellviz> damn i want my gnome back =(
[04:46] <Stormx2> lusepuster: Yeah. Sounds like the permissions of /bin/sh have got screwed up.
[04:46] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: What's happened now?
[04:46] <Stormx2> `4aFkA`: Did you get my PM?
[04:46] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: same same
[04:47] <`4aFkA`> aaaaa noo
[04:47] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: i cant installe gnome
[04:47] <Chikubu> whats the command line command to get distro update?
[04:47] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: Did the upgrade finish?
[04:47] <stefg> psycardis: hmmm... then there's a kernel or bios or a hardware problem
[04:47] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: yes
[04:47] <Stormx2> !upgrade | Chikubu
[04:47] <lusepuster> Stormx2: Really weird, I haven't messed with anything.
[04:47] <ubotu> Chikubu: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:47] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: will having the server kernel affect anything else?
[04:47] <srbaker> heya folks
[04:47] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:47] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: Just to confirm.
[04:47] <Chikubu> ty
[04:48] <ali1234> lllllllllllll: some pages about dd and images: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/ddcommand.htm and http://www.e-shell.org/index.py?code=tips-5
[04:48] <srbaker> i'm looking for an rss reader that intelligently knows when an article has been cross-posted
[04:48] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: nah it should be the same for all intents
[04:48] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: ok, running now
[04:48] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: you wont really notice
[04:48] <`4aFkA`> Stormx2 i get you prv message
[04:48] <srbaker> for instance, if i read an article from someone's blog, and that article also appears on planet ubuntu, i would like to see it get marked read in both places
[04:48] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: Would I loose any compatibility with anything?
[04:48] <attickid> ey anybody knows about an ubuntu application so that I can use my old windows laptop screen as an extended screen for my ubuntu desktop?
[04:48] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: nope, but you'd be able to access all your ram
[04:48] <Stormx2> srbaker: Look through synaptic.
[04:48] <lusepuster> Stormx2 You think there is any other solution than a reinstall?
[04:49] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: how do I upgrade the kernel?
[04:49] <srbaker> Stormx2: i have, didnt' find one that lists that feature
[04:49] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: try what the other guy said first
[04:49] <Stormx2> lusepuster: Well, crack open a live cd. cd /bin && ls -l | grep sh
[04:49] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: I did it didn't work.
[04:49] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: thought so
[04:49] <Lo_Pan> apt-get install linux-image-2.6.20-16-server
[04:49] <Lorne_Kun|Laptop> Halp! madwifi drivers update broke something >.>
[04:49] <Lo_Pan> do that
[04:50] <`4aFkA`> Stormx2 can u answer me??
[04:50] <Stormx2> `4aFkA`: I can't see your messages. Are you identified with nickserv?
[04:50] <Raiders32> where can I find the driver for Epson Stylus Color 880
[04:50] <lusepuster> Stormx2: Yeah? I mean, I can boot from my PCLinuxOS partition which I am using right now, I guess that is just as good as the live cd right? ;)
[04:50] <Raiders32> printer
[04:51] <`4aFkA`> Stormx2 u get now?
[04:51] <Lorne_Kun|Laptop> Im not sure exactly what it broke.
[04:51] <Kjellviz> can i make the apt-get upgrade skip a line its stalling on ?
[04:51] <Stormx2> lusepuster: Indeed. Get your ubuntu / mounted, and do what I said (substituting /bin for /mnt/ubuntu/bin or whatever your mountpoint is)
[04:51] <Kjellviz> theres a repo thats down and its trying forever to connect to it ><
[04:51] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: upgrade or update?
[04:52] <Kjellviz> upgrade
[04:52] <Kjellviz> forget its done now
[04:52] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[04:52] <lusepuster> stormx2 - got it. The execution rights should be 'all', or what?
[04:53] <Kjellviz> possible to install it from the livecd ?
[04:53] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: okay - edit /etc/sources.list and comment out any unofficial repos.
[04:53] <Stormx2> lusepuster: Let me check.
[04:54] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: ok, will do but in a while, need to run for dinner now :P
[04:54] <Stormx2> lusepuster: yeah. Mine is 777
[04:54] <psycardis> Lo_Pan will that automatically install? I'll just need to reboot after that and be done?
[04:54] <Lo_Pan> you'll need to reboot, yes
[04:54] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: but other than rebooting, good to go?
[04:55] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: yeah, as long as its the kernel you boot, you will have access to all 4gb
[04:55] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: Will I need to change anything to make it the kernel I boot?
[04:55] <Siph0n> i tried looking in  the forums but i cant find, dont know what to search for, to keep the terminal window available, after i open a file from it... i know its a symbol at the end of the command, but i forget which ones... any idea? :)
[04:55] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: nah it should automatically become the default
[04:55] <gnychis> how do i install ddclient as a service so that it runs every once in a while?
[04:55] <stefg> psycardis: the update grub-script ususally makes the latest installed kernel  the default one.
[04:56] <psycardis> stefg thank you so much for helping me with the partitions
[04:56] <gnychis> in nm-applet, where there should be images of maybe secured networks next to the network name... i get little boxes with a red X in them, what am i missing to apt-get ?
[04:56] <dr_willis> Siph0n,  bash 101  documention/tutorials man.. use &
[04:56] <stefg> psycardis: np :-)
[04:56] <Siph0n> dr_willis: thanx! :)
[04:57] <dr_willis> Siph0n,   bash job controll. :)   do NOT just hit the close button to close the shell.. use the 'exit' command.
[04:57] <Lorne_Kun|Laptop> anyone have any idea what the update to madwifi broke?
[04:57] <dr_willis> Siph0n,  and a read of a few bash guides.  and the Advanced Bash Scripting GUide. is WELL worth the effort.
[04:57] <jimqode> gnychis, add the command to /etc/init.d/rc.local
[04:57] <Siph0n> dr_willis: ok, will do that now :)
[04:57] <dr_willis> Siph0n,  also you can use 'ctrl-z' and the 'bg/fg' commands. :)
[04:59] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: did it work?
[04:59] <lgc> Hi! How well is Ubuntu prepared for Bluetooth?
[04:59] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: it's downloading
[04:59] <RabidSnail_> I'm having Grub problems. I just installed Feisty Server on a machine with two IDE drives, and when it tries to boot it gets to the point where GRUB says "Starting up..." and reboots. I have part of the drives softraided together but the only thing in the raid partition is /var, everything else is on a physical partition. Any suggestions?
[04:59] <Lo_Pan> ah ok
[05:00] <jimqode> lgc, obex just works. I haven't tried bluetooth sound.
[05:00] <b0ha> is it possible that xchat connects to server and join channel automaticaly on start?
[05:00] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: I don't know why it isn't downloading from the Italian repositories....
[05:00] <dr_willis> b0ha,  of course.. look in the 'server' settings, theres a autoconnect check box, and a list of channels to join.
[05:01] <Bob_Dole> Boa, mine connects automatically
[05:01] <lgc> jimqode, thanks. What is obex?
[05:01] <Bob_Dole> boha*
[05:01] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: maybe you have multiple specified
[05:01] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: it usaually downloads them from the Italian repositories and it's alot faster
[05:01] <omha> how can i make gdesklets so it wont act programs, eg are in alt + tab
[05:01] <Bob_Dole> I turn on xchat, and it connects to freenode, then the channel #dretchstorm. Thinking about adding other channels too. but I havn't done it yet :/
[05:01] <jimqode> lgc, obex is a standart for transferring objects like files, vcards etc. between bluetooth devices
[05:01] <b0ha> ok i will try
[05:02] <stefg> RabidSnail_: actually i think the starting up message is already the initramfs-system. so i think it's not grub, but the kernel or some misconfigured initramfs
[05:02] <durab> looking for information regarding sleeping or spinning down external ide disks, is it supported or can I script it?
[05:02] <soundray> durab: USB connected?
[05:02] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: weird
[05:02] <olskolirc> hey guys i need a good tvtuner software what is it?
[05:02] <durab> soundray: yes
[05:02] <Bob_Dole> just have to open up the network list and select edit, and good luck. though I doubt you'll need it.
[05:02] <soundray> durab: bad news.
[05:02] <lgc> jimqode, I see. Do you have an idea of how hard it is to install an internal Bluetooth transmiter and configure it on Ubuntu?
[05:03] <dr_willis> olskolirc,  the ULTIMATE tv tuner software is MythTV :)
[05:03] <RabidSnail_> stefg: could it be problems mounting the softraid partition?
[05:03] <dr_willis> olskolirc,  but its a bit of an install.. if you just want to watch tv.. theres other ways.
[05:03] <olskolirc> thanks
[05:03] <dr_willis> olskolirc,  but i perfer mythtv. it records shows and can zap commercials.
[05:03] <durab> soundray: can you do it via sdparm or something? or is it totally unsupported?
[05:04] <durab> I'm building a fileserver to hide in the house somewhere, I just want the disks attahed to live a bit longer
[05:04] <soundray> durab: it depends a bit on the USB-IDE adapter. In some cases, you can connect the drive internally, set it to spin down, then put it back in the USB case and it'll still spin down.
[05:04] <jimqode> lgc, depends on what you are trying to achive. maybe this page can help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[05:04] <dr_willis> external ide disks in a USB enclosure?
[05:04] <lusepuster> Stormx2: I've mounted and I've ls'ed. there is no /bin/sh, it seems
[05:04] <lusepuster> Unless bash can do the trick, if they're eqquivalent
[05:04] <dr_willis> Mine spin down automaticially. May be a feature of the Enclosure's controller
[05:04] <soundray> durab: but some adapters reset it and the drive stays up
[05:05] <durab> dr_willis: will keep an eye on it, just connected them then
[05:05] <durab> ahh well, disks are cheap. Thanks for the help/
[05:05] <stefg> RabidSnail_: no, as long as the kernel gets at least a rootfs you'd see an error message. could be related to mdadm in the initrd tho ... i vaguely remember to have heard about problems, but can just suggest to search on launchpad for mdadm bugs
[05:05] <dr_willis> durab,  ive seen a lot of varity in the Quality of these encosures. :)
[05:05] <lllllllllllll> So say I did "dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/media/External/sda2", with sda2 being the partition to copy and External being the device I'm copying to. Would that screw said device? Can I do that safely and just have an image of the partition sat on my external hard drive afterward, or would it mess with its file tables etc., or otherwise destroy the data already there? The partition to be copied is about 11gb and the external ha
[05:05] <lgc> jimqode, I want to install the internal Bluetooth device on my lappie and config it. Let me take a look at the page...

[05:06] <vluisier> ubotu: have a problem with kexi
[05:06] <dff> how did you open a process to background?

[05:06] <durab> dr_willis: soundray : is this link garbage? http://bigblue.res.cmu.edu/mediawiki/index.php/External_Hard_Drives

[05:07] <dff> was it: foobar & 1> /dev/null
[05:07] <dr_willis> greg_g,  new?
[05:07] <dff> or was it foobar & 2> /dev/null
[05:07] <dff> or maybe it was <
[05:07] <dff> or <2
[05:07] <ramza3> how do I setup 'sudo', I can do 'su' but cant do sudo
[05:07] <dff> oe <1
[05:07] <dff> how the heck can i figure it out
[05:07] <greg_g> dr_willis, well, the new updates on ubuntu, 2.6.20-16
[05:07] <olskolirc> niceee
[05:07] <olskolirc> im running the mythtv setup now
[05:08] <soundray> durab: I don't think so. I haven't heard of sdparm.
[05:08] <olskolirc> i have to create a mythtv user group
[05:08] <jimqode> lllllllllllll, using bs=1024 can speed up the process
[05:08] <ompaul> !rootsudo > ramza3 (please check that web page)
[05:08] <olskolirc> im trying to figure that out
[05:08] <lllllllllllll> jimqode: so it would overwrite the destination partition? There's only one on my external hard drive, you're telling me that would be wiped by using dd like I said?
[05:08] <ali1234> lgc: installing the bluetooth dongle is easy, just plug it in and install the packages, then you can send files and stuff. getting bluetooth DUN to work is a different story in m experience...
[05:08] <soundray> durab: I'd consider it worth trying.
[05:08] <dr_willis> durab,  try it and see.. My disks auto-spin down after so much time.. i mainly notice it when i hear them spin down  after the pc is off.
[05:08] <Lindir> Hi! how to turn off update-notifier? I have a weak computer and it eats 10 MB
[05:08] <dr_willis> durab,  its possible the pc's are accessing the disks for some reason and spinning them back up
[05:08] <Lorne_Kun|Laptop> greg_g: the update to madwifi broke my wifi :p
[05:09] <ded0> what hsync vsync settings should i use for a 1280x1024 TFT screen?
[05:09] <greg_g> oh, sorry, these are the restricted modules for 2.6.10-16.29
[05:09] <durab> dr_willis: I am unsure if they do or do not spin down, just connected them and about to move the whole bundle to a server cupboard under my stairs
[05:09] <ali1234> lllllllllllll: that dd command you wrote will fail because the output is a directory
[05:09] <juze> jei its working
[05:09] <durab> just want to try and get the disks to live a bit longer
[05:09] <greg_g> Lorne_Kun|Laptop, that sucks
[05:09] <durab> trying sdparm and that script right now
[05:09] <Lorne_Kun|Laptop> yup
[05:09] <soundray> Lindir: System-Preferences-Session-Startup programs
[05:09] <Lorne_Kun|Laptop> and i have no idea how to fix it :p
[05:09] <afief> anybody here succeeded in compiling calctool?
[05:09] <lgc> jimqode, the page refers to a Bluetooth dongle, basically. alil1234, sorry, but what is a DUN?
[05:09] <lllllllllllll> ali1234: and it needs to be able to write to its own partition?
[05:10] <greg_g> Lorne_Kun|Laptop, yeah, I was going to ask how you undo a module update
[05:10] <lusepuster> Stormx2: still there?
[05:10] <stefg> RabidSnail_: an afterthought: i'm not sure if -server uses usplash. but if there's 'quiet splash' in the boot param's you should try if editing them out helps
[05:10] <ali1234> lllllllllllll: you want "dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/media/External/sda2/fsimage" for example, then your backup will go to a file called "fsimage"
[05:11] <ali1234> lllllllllllll: but that wont work cos you are writing back to the same partition by the looks of it
[05:11] <jimqode> lgc, are you sure you are looking at the page i linked? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup ?
[05:11] <ali1234> lgc: DUN = dial up network ie with mobile phone
[05:12] <lgc> jimqode, indeed.
[05:12] <lllllllllllll> ali1234: how about "dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/media/external/fsimage"? The resulting file, fsimage, wouldn't interfere with all the other data I have on External?/
[05:12] <dff> how
[05:12] <dff> do
[05:12] <dff> i
[05:12] <dff> start process to a background
[05:12] <ali1234> lllllllllllll: yeah, it would go on your root partition
[05:13] <ali1234> lllllllllllll: assuming it is big enough
[05:13] <james296> is it possible to fix the bug that prevents you from recording yourself using the Sound Recorder in Feisty Fawn?
[05:13] <lllllllllllll> yes it would interfere or it wouldn't? I'm particularly keen not to lose the other data on said external
[05:13] <ant-> dff, with  &
[05:13] <ali1234> lllllllllllll: if you output the dd to a file, no other file will be overwritten
[05:13] <dff> and how do i make the output go /dev/null
[05:14] <jimqode> lgc, dongle is just an example. it may work with your internal hardware. There is a compatibility list linked in that page.
[05:14] <ant-> dff, with >
[05:14] <lgc> ali1234, that's rather more than I want to achieve. I only want basic I/O with an INTERNAL Bluetooth device. I'm not sure if the info on the page jimqode sent me to applies in my case.
[05:14] <james296> well?
[05:14] <lllllllllllll> ali1234: nice, that's what I'm looking for. Thanks a lot
[05:14] <dff> command > /dev/null
[05:14] <dff> command > /dev/null &
[05:14] <ali1234> lllllllllllll: the thing about /dev/sda2 is, it is very similar to a file. you could use cp instead of dd for the same effect
[05:14] <dff> like this
[05:14] <dff> command > /dev/null &
[05:15] <lllllllllllll> ali1234, the partition to be copied is my dual-boot of WinXP
[05:15] <ant-> dff, yea
[05:15] <dff> good
[05:15] <lllllllllllll> ali1234: so I was thinking it would need to be a complete clone of the original data
[05:15] <ant-> !clone
[05:15] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[05:16] <ali1234> lllllllllllll: well, by copying the device, it will be. but the resulting file will be the same size as the disk you backup, unless you compress it
[05:16] <ded0> what hsync vsync settings should i use for a 1280x1024 TFT screen?
[05:16] <Wyzard> If I want an network interface to be configured by NetworkManager, do I need to remove it from /etc/network/interfaces?
[05:18] <omha> how can i see the size of /dev/sdb1 ? (hdd)
[05:18] <zombiebox> HI, when installing ubuntu, is it possible to set that grub bootmenu-file should be placed on another disk than ubuntu ?
[05:18] <Joseph> how?
[05:18] <ali1234> omha: if it's mounted: df -h
[05:18] <omha> ali1234, it isent mounted
[05:19] <ali1234> omha: if not: fdisk /dev/sdb
[05:19] <jimqode> lgc, you will need bluez-utilz for internal bluetooth card too. It doesn't matter.
[05:19] <ali1234> omha: or use gparted for a more friendly interface
[05:19] <lgc> jimqode, oh, I see.

[05:22] <amon__> How can I use Alsa rather than OSS, as it is now for some reason when I lsmod, all my sound modules are locked to OSS - ... also how can I blacklist OSS from loading?

[05:24] <Lo_Pan> yep
[05:24] <pressenter> 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
[05:24] <pressenter> Anyone had trouble with sound on this dev?

[05:25] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: Xserver didn't start....
[05:25] <JC_Denton_> dr_willis - mouse and I can ssh to the machine and xdmcp (though logging out crashes the machine running the x server)
[05:25] <pressenter> I get no errors that the sound dev is not working, just no sound on output.
[05:25] <pressenter> Ah, and the player keeps playing.
[05:25] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: you compile your video drivers yourself?
[05:25] <JC_Denton_> dr_willis since upgrading to 7.04 k/b input is no longer possible
[05:26] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: no, i downloaded a .run off of nvidia's website...
[05:26] <dr_willis> JC_Denton_,  interesting..  first ive heard of that issue. this a usb or ps2 keyboard?
[05:26] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: yeah, same thing
[05:26] <JC_Denton_> dr_willis ps2
[05:26] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: actually come to think of it, i'm not using that video card anymore....
[05:26] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: you'll have to boot the new kernel, then run the nvidia installer again
[05:26] <JC_Denton_> dr_willis upgraded from 6.10
[05:26] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: what video card do you have
[05:26] <psycardis> 6600 gt
[05:27] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: do you still have the nvidia .run file?
[05:27] <psycardis> Lo_Pan: the .run was for my 8800gtx i'm not using it...
[05:27] <dr_willis> JC_Denton_,  thats really really odd then.  Not even sure where to begin to debug it. could try booting to the console/single user mode and see if it works from there..  If it works in console, but not X. that implies its a X setting issue.
[05:28] <Lo_Pan> psycardis: what does lsmod | grep nv say?
[05:28] <Lo_Pan> paste it to me in pm if you like

[05:32] <dr_willis> olskolirc,  theres a few mythtv tutorial/wiki pages for ubuntu out - the install has several little steps.
[05:32] <obelix_> well i can read perfectly but i can't write. is this gonna work??
[05:32] <lusepuster> ompaul, dr_willis: thanks, that's what /bin/shell is pointed at?
[05:32] <Stormx2> zs6jce: Yeah, that'd work fine :)
[05:33] <zs6jce> thats
[05:33] <olskolirc> oh btw im a girl dr :-)
[05:33] <zs6jce> thanks!!
[05:33] <dr_willis> olskolirc,  the backend is the program part of mythtv that handles the recording/data/scheduling. the front end is the 'gui' to access the backend.
[05:33] <ompaul> lusepuster,  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-18 20:12 /bin/sh -> dash
[05:33] <dr_willis> lusepuster,  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-04-17 12:52 /bin/sh -> dash
[05:33] <olskolirc> how do i make it smaller too its in full screen mode
[05:34] <olskolirc> i don't want to be committed to just the tv when i want to do other things at the same time
[05:34] <JC_Denton__> dr_willis pressing keys that will toggle lights on the k/b don't have that effect no more. the keyboard works fine otherwise though
[05:34] <us17> I've installed xubuntu on an old computer of my dad's and I'm trying to get openoffice.org to work. the program loads fine but the window frame is not rendering properly. I tried installing the openoffice.org-gtk package and changing the gtk theme but it didn't fix it.
[05:35] <ali1234> olskolirc: maybe try tvtime instead if you dont need all the myth features? myth is designed for a full time theatre pc type thing
[05:35] <us17> googling gets me a lot of unrelated stuff
[05:35] <lusepuster> Stormx2, ompaul, dr_willis: Is there supposed to a be an entry in the /bin  named sh? because there is no such in mine
[05:35] <dr_willis> JC_Denton__,  so it works in the console, but the capslock and numlock lights dont light up any more eh?
[05:35] <ompaul> lusepuster, there should be sudo ln -s /bin/sh /bin/dash
[05:35] <dr_willis> lusepuster,  mine is   /bin/sh -> dash,
[05:36] <dr_willis> so yea i hae a /bin/sh thats a link to dash
[05:36] <Chikubu> is it possible to reconfigure gnome?  all my windows are missing parts, terminal is completely usless, all i can do is log on to a terminal session
[05:36] <JC_Denton__> dr_willis no the keyboard is fine hardware wise but input is not possible atm and the lights dont toggle as they should but that would seem to be a s/w problem
[05:36] <ali1234> olskolirc: not sure how well tvtime handles digital cards though...
[05:36] <magnetron> Chikubu: running beryl?
[05:36] <dr_willis> Chikubu,  could delete the .gnome* dirs and reset everything to default. losing any settings you got for gnome.
[05:36] <ali1234> Chikubu: rename the gnome config dir in your homedir perhaps...
[05:36] <ali1234> Chikubu: rename, dont delete...
[05:37] <Chikubu> just ubuntu default from live cd install
[05:37] <dr_willis> !find xawtv
[05:37] <ubotu> Found: xawtv, xawtv-plugins, xawtv-tools
[05:37] <pha|con> has anyone had issues with compiz fusion in feisty causing certain windows opened by application to be transparent.  e.g, cedega opens games that are transparent or opening an app from terminal ends up being transparent
[05:37] <dr_willis> !info xawtv

[05:37] <scarter> i'm looking to replace my ms-mce with linuxmce and need a recommendation for an hdtv tuner for north america that does both ota and cable. what the best (not too expensive - < $150 US) options out there?
[05:38] <Chikubu> if i logon as root would that tell me if the problem was in my home directories?
[05:38] <OooM> Je possde un 2 me disque dure Qui est brancher a mon pc Il est sous ubuntu , comment je fais pour le formater

[05:38] <elkbuntu> !fr > OooM
[05:38] <ali1234> scarter: maybe ask that question in #linuxtv or #dvb? (maybe...)
[05:38] <xoRock> can i get PV help??
[05:39] <elkbuntu> OooM, parlez vous anglais?
[05:39] <xoRock> can i get PV help
[05:39] <ali1234> scarter: and check www.linuxtv.org
[05:39] <jimqode> is there a deb package for cedega cvs version?
[05:39] <lusepuster> ompaul, dr_willis: when I link it from my PCLOS partition, with my Ubuntu / mounted, and i link it ln -s /link-to-mountpoint/bin/sh etc, will the links still work when it's unmounted and mounted as root when starting in Ubuntu?
[05:39] <magnetron> !ask  | xoRock
[05:39] <ubotu> xoRock: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:39] <HOT> oh man, compiz fusion and xorg update in the same day, this is bound to go bad.....
[05:39] <scarter> ali1234: thanks... will do.
[05:40] <dr_willis> lusepuster,  linking binaaries across disrubutions  like that is  not a good idea..
[05:40] <Chikubu> most windows have a title bar, which you can grab to reposition the window...all my windows are missing this title bar
[05:40] <lusepuster> dr_willis: I think you misunderstand me, bcs what I do should be no different than doing it from a live CD as far as I can see
[05:40] <xoRock> !ask i tried to copy open office file from my friend comp while it open in his box but i can't, i dont want to call him to closed the file whenever i want to copy the file, what should i do?
[05:40] <erUSUL> Chikubu: have you enabled compiz or beryl (compositting)?
[05:40] <xoRock> lol
[05:41] <xoRock> a bot pv me
[05:41] <gnychis> do flash card readers have UUIDs like hard drives do that i can insert in to /etc/fstab?
[05:41] <HOT> ok heres a question, for some reason kiba-dock only works for me if i wait a few minutes after logon, is there a way to delay a session command for x seconds?
[05:41] <lusepuster> dr_willis: I'm not linking it to the one present in PCLOS, I'm just doing the operation in PCLOS because I cannot boot in Ubuntu
[05:41] <JC_Denton_> dr_willis - any idea where I can start troubleshooting the problem?
[05:41] <Chikubu> i dont know what those are, i enabled desktop effects and restricted device nvidia
[05:41] <dr_willis> lusepuster,  if you make a link on a filesystem.. its part of the filesystem.
[05:41] <phax> Hi guys, I installed the latest Ubuntu iso and the bootup process gets stuck on loading the 3c59x driver, is there a way to disable loading of that driver or if it is a known issue, I only saw some issues on the Web, if Wake on LAN is enabled for the card
[05:41] <Jordan_U> HOT, sleep 10 && command
[05:41] <dr_willis> lusepuster,  it stays across boots. :) since it IS part of the filesystem
[05:42] <dr_willis> lusepuster,  but with relative links - your paths may mess up.
[05:42] <HOT> Jordan_U: thanks fella
[05:42] <Postal_> sta je
[05:42] <phantom_> when i reboot my ALSA mixer Settings are set to 0 volume. Can I edit or fix it somehow ???
[05:42] <elkbuntu> xoRock, no, a bot said your nick, that is all. if you have a question, ask it in the channel so everyone has the chance to offer advice
[05:42] <Jordan_U> HOT, np
[05:42] <ali1234> gnychis: they can, if you assign one... the UUID is related to the card, not the reader i think
[05:42] <xoRock> i tried to copy open office file from my friend comp while it open in his box but i can't, i dont want to call him to closed the file whenever i want to copy the file, what should i do?
[05:42] <dr_willis> JC_Denton_,  try a new keyboard?  Try some Live cd's ,  prove one way or the other if its a HW or SW issue. I dont see how it can be a SW issue however.
[05:42] <gnychis> ali1234: got ya, do you know where i can find the UUID?
[05:43] <FunnyLookinHat> HOT, you could also try avant-window-navigator    it's more actively developed and a bit more stable   see:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981&highlight=avant+window
[05:43] <Jordan_U> xoRock, Did he save the file first?
[05:43] <jimqode> xoRock, is your friend running windows?
[05:43] <lusepuster> dr_willis: is there any way I could make it non relative? I'm not very well into linking and stuff
[05:43] <JC_Denton_> dr_willis - tried a different keyboard - same prob. I can use the current keyboard to have grub show me the bootup options so it functions fine at bootup
[05:43] <HOT> FunnyLookinHat: i did for a long time, for some reason it just disapears every now and again, kiba seems more stable
[05:43] <xoRock> jimqode: he run ubuntu 7.04 same as mine
[05:44] <FunnyLookinHat> HOT, oh weird.  Cool though, good luck!
[05:44] <erUSUL> Chikubu: most probably the problem is with desktop effects disable them
[05:44] <erUSUL> |effects | Chikubu
[05:44] <novato_br> !dreamcast
[05:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dreamcast - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:44] <JC_Denton_> dr_willis - also, it functioned fine before the upgrade
[05:44] <erUSUL> !effects | Chikubu
[05:44] <ubotu> Chikubu: For help with Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[05:44] <dr_willis> JC_Denton_,  odd..   not sure where to go next. other then say check the forums.
[05:44] <novato_br> somebody knows how to install linux on dreamcast?
[05:44] <dr_willis> JC_Denton_,  i never upgrade. i always do full reinstalls.
[05:44] <jimqode> xoRock, how are you trying to access the file? And what kind of error message do you get?
[05:44] <Chikubu> ok ill disable as soom as update that is running finishes and i can get back to desktop
[05:44] <JC_Denton_> dr_willis - i have posted on the forums but noone seems to be able to offer any help
[05:45] <dr_willis> novato_br,  heh. :) i got a dreamcast.. no network card however for it.
[05:45] <ali1234> novato_br: you just burn the disc. dont think you can have ubuntu on it...
[05:45] <novato_br> ok
[05:45] <phantom_> when i reboot my ALSA mixer Settings are set to 0 volume. Can I edit or fix it somehow ???
[05:45] <dr_willis> JC_Denton_,  best fix may be to try a clean reinstall.. sadly.    stuff like that can be very hard to trouble shoot.
[05:45] <JC_Denton_> dr_willis - hmm the upgrade worked fine for my laptop. Will the ubuntu cd recognise my existing installation and not overwrite files in my home dir? Shame coz I rather like my setup...
[05:45] <jimqode> HOT, is there a  deb package for kiba?
[05:46] <novato_br> ok, ali1234
[05:46] <novato_br> but does it works?
[05:46] <HOT> i got it by adding a repository, let me see if i can dig it out for ypu
[05:46] <novato_br> i'll burn one ubuntu cd
[05:46] <novato_br> and then i'll run on dreamcast
[05:46] <Jordan_U> JC_Denton_, It will only keep your settings and files if you have a separate /home
[05:46] <xoRock> jimqode: i tried to copy,but it give me error invallid parameters while copying "smb://blabla
[05:46] <jimqode> HOT, that would be great
[05:46] <ali1234> novato_br: no, not an ubuntu disc, a specific linux image for dc
[05:46] <HOT> deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy
[05:46] <HOT> deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy
[05:46] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: there, non-standard sources are commented out
[05:47] <JC_Denton_> jordan_u - is there a repair option on the cd? ala windows?
[05:47] <xoRock> jimqode: but when the file is closed i'm able to copy
[05:47] <F00BaR`> how do i see how much space is left on my HDD
[05:47] <Jordan_U> JC_Denton_, Not that I know of, possibly on the alternate install CD
[05:47] <JC_Denton_> f00bar - open nautilus and browse to any dir on the hdd
[05:47] <HOT> stick both in /etc/apt/sources and then update
[05:47] <jimqode> xoRock, do you have writing permission on that share? if so try to make a copy of the file on the same place, then get the copy.
[05:48] <novato_br> where can I find softwares to burn images disc for DC?
[05:48] <xoRock> i can't
[05:48] <JC_Denton_> f00bar it will tell u in the bottom right hand corner x GB free
[05:48] <magnetron> F00BaR`: application menu > accessories > disk usage analyzer
[05:48] <dr_willis> JC_Denton_,  i always put /home on its own partition. :) just for such cases
[05:48] <xoRock> jimqode: i cant copy it, open it, etc
[05:48] <dr_willis> JC_Denton_,  Backup home to the other pc.. install.. restore home.
[05:48] <NinjjaX> novato_br: o meu  pior...

[05:49] <JC_Denton_> dr_willis thanks. Something to do while waiting for my ubuntu stickers...
[05:49] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: you still there ? (had to run to the wc earlier)

[05:50] <anna> hi there
[05:51] <xchatUbuntu> Quelle est la commande Pour installer la machine java Pour l'utilisation de limewire ?
[05:51] <defrysk> !fr
[05:51] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[05:51] <novato_br> thx
[05:51] <batrix> anyone know what repository apache2-ssl-certificate can be found in?
[05:51] <hollandlucas> xchatUbuntu: I think you need the standard java vm
[05:51] <dr_willis> !info apache2-ssl-certificate
[05:51] <ubotu> Package apache2-ssl-certificate does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[05:51] <anna> can you anyone tell me what are the differences between Ubuntu feisty and gusty ?
[05:52] <anna> 7.04 and 7.10
[05:52] <xoRock> jimqode: yes, it says error invalid parameter bla bla while copying
[05:52] <anna> i mean what are the new features
[05:52] <defrysk> gutsy is still in alpha = unstable
[05:52] <elkbuntu> anna, feisty is released and stable, gutsy is still in development and prone to breakage
[05:52] <anna> ?
[05:53] <xoRock> jimqode: but i can move it into another folder
[05:53] <fabiovalinhos> anna: until where saw, the gutsy have a grafical xorg
[05:53] <xoRock> jimqode:  strange
[05:53] <jimqode> xoRock, hmm sorry then. out of ideas.
[05:53] <novato_br> thx, ali1234
[05:53] <anna> is it there anything new coming on gusty?
[05:53] <xoRock> ^^; ok thx
[05:53] <cables> anna, running Gutsy on your computer could cause damage to your files, and may crash a lot. That being said, it will eventually have a "bulletproof x", meaning that if your X config is bad it won't crash.
[05:53] <cables> anna, it'll also have a graphical config manager for x
[05:54] <magnetron> anna: yes, it will be, but it will not be released until october 17
[05:54] <anna> thx

[05:55] <yondie> manurespreader, at ~/.wine/
[05:56] <Khorus> I'm checking out Xubuntu, so far, I love it... it's the best Ubuntu flavor.  Fast and Stable so far!
[05:56] <manurespreader> youdie: thanks
[05:56] <yondie> Khorus, it`s just using the xfce rather then gnome or kde
[05:56] <manurespreader> yondie: Thanks :)
[05:56] <yondie> manurespreader, anytime
[05:56] <anna> anyone in here good with wireless?I've a 3CRWE15G72,if i use it on internet caffes or places where the wireless is unlocked,i don't have any problems to connect,but now i am using wireless with WEP @ home and i can't get connect to the internet
[05:57] <Khorus> yondie: Yeah, I know.  but XFCE feels way faster than KDE and/or Gnome.
[05:57] <anna> I mean 3CRWE15G72=wireless card type/model
[05:57] <jimqode> Khorus, they are all stable, XFCE is lighter and faster, so is a better choice for older desktops and speed freaks :)
[05:57] <yondie> Khorus, true.... but for more simplicity i just choose fluxbox and a terminal
[05:57] <Khorus> jimqode: Hehehe, I'm a speed freak indeed. :)
[05:58] <curlygc> hello all
[05:58] <yondie> a terminal is enough .. if you want more just screen around lol
[05:58] <Khorus> hehehhee
[05:58] <dr_willis> 'screen'  the ultimate window manager
[05:58] <anna> ...dreamlinux comes to my mind,it is a very nice XFCE based distro,but i thinkl xubuntu is better
[05:58] <Khorus> Control-A + N is your friend :D
[05:58] <anna> Khorus
[05:59] <phantom_> when i reboot my ALSA mixer Settings are set to 0 volume. Can I edit or fix it somehow ???

[06:00] <manurespreader> how to change disk permissions ?
[06:00] <Shad0w> hi
[06:00] <yondie> manurespreader,  google around for chmod
[06:00] <dr_willis> manurespreader,  depends on what you are want ing to do exactly

[06:01] <Shad0w> :-D
[06:01] <Shad0w> xD
[06:01] <jscinoz> Hey, guys i used this text replacement program on windows called ShortKeysLite, it would take a keyword you typed and automatically replace it with a longer phrase, (also it did this on a driver level, not clipboard, so it worked with nearly everything), is there a Linux program that does something similar to this?
[06:01] <din> anna: sudo iwconfig <device> essid "ssid name" enc "wep key" && dhclient <device>
[06:01] <yondie> jscinoz, do u mean tabbing?
[06:02] <xoRock> jimqode: just curious, what is the point of file permission read only if i can copy the file to local folder and edit it from there?
[06:02] <Shad0w> http://rafb.net/p/TovYM096.html
[06:02] <Shad0w> I need help ...
[06:02] <Shad0w> xD

[06:02] <ponicg> Hi all - does anyone know much about Wubi/grldr?
[06:02] <ponicg> I'm booting into Wbui and i get
[06:02] <jscinoz> yondie, no basically i would type something like ".ur" and it would replace it with "Ubuntu rocks"
[06:02] <ponicg> Try (hd0,0): NTFS5: and that's it
[06:02] <ponicg> it hangs htere
[06:02] <jscinoz> yondie, you had to predefine keywords in its GUI
[06:03] <Mark17> what kernel version is standard for ubuntu 6.06 or ubuntu 7.04?
[06:03] <arooni> what is a better graphics card for ubuntu 7.04 and beryl for the lenovo t61 laptop i'm ordering: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 || nVidia Quadro NVS 140m (128 MB)??
[06:03] <jimqode> xoRock, you can be sure nobody changes that file, they can only make a copy and edit it just as you said it :)
[06:03] <ponicg> arooni, I'm asking the same question
[06:03] <elkbuntu> ponicg, try ask your question all on one line so people can understand what you're saying.
[06:03] <yondie> jscinoz, sorry do not know much perhaps u can use bash aliasing
[06:03] <anna> ?
[06:03] <jscinoz> Closest thing i've found so far is Snippit's by bkudria but it works on a clipboard level so it doesnt work for what i need
[06:03] <manurespreader> how to write .bin image to cd ?
[06:03] <jscinoz> Yondie where can i find more information about that?
[06:04] <jimqode> arooni, ponicg, I have a very good performance with an intel card and open drivers.
[06:04] <ponicg> elkbuntu, Sorry. I installed Wubi on a vista machine, followed the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438858 and then rebooted - chose the Wubi and got Try (hd0,0): NTFS5: and that's the only thing it does
[06:04] <xoRock> aaa
[06:04] <anna> Sorry Din I am a noob
[06:04] <Screphoe> hey, I tried installing 7.04 on my machine, failed, said to do noapic. when i did that(install noapic). then... "kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown - block (104,1)" i google it but other people only seem to be getting this problem after installation.
[06:04] <manurespreader> how to write .bin image to cd ?
[06:04] <ponicg> jimqode, arooni, I am curious if the nvidia binary or open source drivers support NVS 140m. I haven't seen good or bad things about it yet.
[06:04] <anna> just learning Linux tricks
[06:04] <jscinoz> yondie, nevermind i found something, but no bash aliasing wont suit what i need :(
[06:05] <dr_willis> manurespreader,  I do belive k3b can handle bin/cue formats

[06:05] <ponicg> jimqode, arooni, I'm looking into getting the T61p when it comes out with the 570M (8600 based) nvidia quadro
[06:05] <ubotu> manurespreader: k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[06:05] <jscinoz> Does anyone know of a linux alternative to the windows program ShortKeysLite?
[06:05] <manurespreader> THANKS
[06:05] <arooni> ponicg: what is the t61p
[06:06] <helpa> I am desperatly in need of help /q me quick
[06:06] <magnetron> jscinoz: what does it do?
[06:06] <dr_willis> jscinoz,  you may have better luck givcing some details :)
[06:06] <Mark17> helpa: what is your problem?
[06:06] <orangey> hey all!
[06:06] <ponicg> arooni, It's not out yet - but it's a t61 with "professional" features - an improved graphics card - a standard 7 or 9 cell battery - and that's it really. altohugh i hear the 15.4" widescreen is gonna be 1900x1200
[06:06] <orangey> Does anybody know how I can set a custom Font Color in OOo?
[06:06] <jimqode> ponicg, I don't really follow bleeding edge graphics cards. I'm usually happy with a built-in card if it work with linux :)
[06:06] <arooni> ponicg: do they make one in a 14.1" format?
[06:06] <helpa> i get error while installing ubuntu
[06:07] <jscinoz> magnetron, it replaces predefined keywords with  longer string, in whatever application is running, it does it on a keyboard driver level rather than clipboard so it works with things that dont support copying and pasting
[06:07] <ponicg> jimqode, nod. i play games so i need that
[06:07] <Mark17> what error do you get?
[06:07] <ponicg> arooni, probably, yes
[06:07] <arooni> ponicg: but whens it coming out
[06:08] <ponicg> arooni, not sure.
[06:08] <arooni> ponicg: are u waiting for it?
[06:08] <jscinoz> Gah i can't believe such a simple program doesnt exist or is so hard to find...
[06:09] <arooni> i want to buy my pretty soon, i got a t61 down for $1100
[06:10] <jimqode> jscinoz, maybe it does. It's just that nobody here needs or knows about it.

[06:14] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: yeps
[06:14] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: pastebin your sources.list
[06:14] <helpa> on my bios?
[06:14] <soundray> helpa: you need to bring a bit more patience and be more precise in your error description.
[06:14] <helpa> its impossible here.. everyone talk :P

[06:15] <jimqode> helpa, on your bios yes
[06:15] <Kjellviz> Stormx2 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27968/
[06:16] <magnetron> NoEvidenZ: in System > administration > users and groups, you can list and edit the user accounts of your system
[06:16] <jimqode> helpa, If it doesn't help try deleting the partition with gparted and restart the installation
[06:16] <helpa> jimqode: are you sure it can be that? i had windows on it yesterday
[06:16] <NoEvidenZ> magnetron: sorry, i'm on a tty
[06:16] <sarthor> Hi, mail client.. thunderbird and evolution are installed. by right clicking and sending any file, evolution seems the default email cleint, while i have changed to thunderbird from preffered application.. what to do????
[06:16] <helpa> jimqode: what is gpart?
[06:16] <NoEvidenZ> Well, no.. I don't actually have a GUI installed
[06:16] <soundray> Kjellviz: can you install the "problem" packages individually, for example 'sudo apt-get install alacarte'?
[06:16] <sarthor> using Fiesty
[06:16] <magnetron> ok, NoEvidenZ, i will look into it. please hold.
[06:17] <jscinoz> I used this text replacement program on windows called ShortKeysLite, it would take a predefined keyword you typed and automatically replace it with a longer phrase (eg i would type ".ur" and it would replace it with "ubuntu rocks" it does this by hooking the keyboard input and directly inputing it, completely bypassing the clipboard so it works with things that don't support copying and pasting), is there a Linux program that
[06:17] <jscinoz>  does something similar to this?
[06:17] <jimqode> helpa, it is similar to windows fdisk, with a gui. it can be found on your ubuntu install cd.
[06:17] <arooni> is there support for: Intel GMA X3100 GM965 w/ WWAN
[06:17] <Kjellviz> soundray: nope
[06:17] <arooni> WWAN?
[06:17] <arooni> in ubuntu?
[06:17] <helpa> jimqode: okey ill try, brb
[06:17] <Kjellviz> so i guess its a repos problem ?
[06:17] <magnetron> !hardware | arooni
[06:17] <ubotu> arooni: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[06:17] <arooni> well its more about the WWAN
[06:17] <soundray> Kjellviz: I take it you've tried another 'sudo apt-get update'. Any errors on that?
[06:17] <arooni> then it is the hardware
[06:18] <sarthor> Hi, mail client.. thunderbird and evolution are installed. by right clicking and sending any file, evolution seems the default email cleint, while i have changed to thunderbird from preffered application.. what to do???? Using Fiesty
[06:18] <jimqode> !repeat | jscinoz
[06:18] <ubotu> jscinoz: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[06:18] <Kjellviz> soundray: done, and no errors
[06:18] <helpa> jimqode: when i try to open CD is says Unable to mount media.
[06:18] <ponicg> I installed Wubi on a vista machine, followed the instructions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=438858 and then rebooted - chose the Wubi and got Try (hd0,0): NTFS5: and that's the only thing it does. I have a RAID drive as one drive, so I'm assuming it's (hd0,0) and it can't be read properly...
[06:18] <Screphoe> is everyone just avoiding my question?
[06:18] <b0ha> hmm how can i install firefox 2 on dapper?
[06:18] <jscinoz> That wasnt quickly
[06:18] <jscinoz> that was 15min gap jimqode
[06:18] <Kjellviz> soundray: it does mark some lines with "ign"
[06:18] <b0ha> apt-get finds only 1.6 version
[06:18] <jimqode> helpa, you should boot from the cd if you want to install ubuntu
[06:19] <jimqode> jscinoz, sorry then.
[06:19] <helpa> jimqode: i am on boot cd now..
[06:19] <jscinoz> :)
[06:19] <Stormx2> Kjellviz: Hmm. Replace your se. mirrors with something else. gb. or us.
[06:19] <anna> now i am getting this :Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :

[06:19] <siloko> hi dudes my audio has failed again - someone here told me how to sort it out - i think it is a volume issue but not just the controller on my panel . . .
[06:19] <jimqode> helpa, ok then press alt+f2, type gparted, press enter
[06:19] <soundray> Kjellviz: I'd do a backup of your current sources list, then 'sudo sed -i /se\.arch/uk.arch/g /etc/apt/sources.list ; sudo apt-get update' and retry
[06:20] <Kjellviz> Stormx2: ok
[06:20] <helpa> jimqode: okey
[06:20] <siloko> i forgot the command to set the system volume . . . pcm volume or something . . .
[06:20] <soundray> Kjellviz: oops
[06:20] <Screphoe> Linux won't even do live boots on my machine...
[06:20] <sarthor> Hi, mail client.. thunderbird and evolution are installed. by right clicking and sending any file, evolution seems the default email cleint, while i have changed to thunderbird from preffered application.. what to do???? Using Fiesty
[06:20] <Kjellviz> soundray: what oops ?
[06:20] <soundray> Kjellviz: 'sudo sed -i /se\.arch/uk\.arch/g /etc/apt/sources.list ; sudo apt-get update'
[06:20] <Stormx2> Screphoe: We aren't ignoring it. if no-one knows the answer, no one replies.
[06:20] <anna> magnetron ...?
[06:20] <siloko> any clues
[06:20] <Screphoe> fair enough
[06:20] <helpa> jimqode: only root can open it.. how do i get root on boot cd?
[06:20] <curlygc> can someone help with a somewhat complex partitioning issue?
[06:20] <Kjellviz> soundray: and Stormx2: i guess both are kinda saying the same thing ?
[06:21] <anna> Hej Kjellviz
[06:21] <yurcu> whow can i instaal a intel pro wireless 3495 on ubuntu 7.04
[06:21] <Kjellviz> anna: hej
[06:21] <soundray> Kjellviz: yes
[06:21] <Kjellviz> soundray: ok =)
[06:21] <ponicg> yurcu, mine was recognized by ubuntu 6.10 so i'm assuming 7.04 would do it fine
[06:21] <HymnToLife> yurcu, the restricted driver manager will help you
[06:21] <jimqode> helpa, just find gparted on the applications or system menu. it had to be there somewhere.
[06:21] <magnetron> NoEvidenZ: i found no better way than to cat /etc/passwd or less /etc/passwd . most of your "human" uer accounts will be towards the end of the file.
[06:22] <jimqode> sarthor, system/ preferences/ preferred applications
[06:22] <yurcu> HymnToLife,  the restited driver saythat wireless is on but the signal of the indicator wireless is off
[06:22] <helpa> jimqode: no its not there -.-
[06:22] <anna> How can i remove the WEP and WPA from my wireless modem?
[06:23] <anna> I rather use it without those
[06:23] <sarthor> jimqode, i have done that already.. but its not working.. i have change evolution to thunderbird but did not working.
[06:23] <curlygc> can anyone help with a partitioning question?
[06:23] <ewook> anna: se your modem-manual for that.
[06:23] <helpa> jimqode:  can it be Gnome partition editor?
[06:23] <soundray> curlygc: there's a good chance that someone will try, but only if you ask it
[06:23] <jimqode> helpa, that is it!
[06:23] <curlygc> ok, thank you soundray
[06:23] <helpa> jimqode:  now what?
[06:23] <anna> Is it safe to use the internet without those?WPA...WEP
[06:23] <NoEvidenZ> magnetron: thanks, that'll about do it.
[06:24] <ded0> where can i set transparency for tite- and panelbars?
[06:24] <NoEvidenZ> See ya later.
[06:24] <anna> Tack ewook
[06:24] <jimqode> helpa, It should show you the partition on your harddrive. just delete the offending partition, restart your computer and try installing again.
[06:24] <magnetron> anna: by logging in to the modem config page, but i strongly advise against it. all your neighbours will be able to use your internet connection and they will be able to see all your traffic, like passwords, email, etc
[06:24] <bsdunix> my ubuntu desktop's gdm has no login options for selecting alternate wm. seems debian's idea of GNU adherance is to add GUI to runlevel 3?
[06:24] <RageMax> any more updates on the BusyBox "can't access tty; job control turned off" problem upon boot?
[06:24] <NoEvidenZ> anna, yes. The only thing they save you from is if your neighbors are trying to connect to your network.
[06:24] <curlygc> i have a dual boot xp/feisty on a 40g, partitioned half and half... I'm running out of space on the windows side and I want to reallocate space from linux to windows without reinstalling everything... so, is it even possible?
[06:24] <Jordan_U> b0ha, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[06:24] <helpa> jimqode: you mean my 78gb? my biggest or swap?
[06:24] <Joe_CoT> hey guys, question: how do i connect to a specific wireless router, as opposed to an essid? can i connect by mac address?
[06:25] <b0ha> tnx Jordan_U
[06:25] <anna> I don't mind if people uses the internet i just don't want they use my passwords
[06:25] <helpa> jimqode: i got /dev/hda1 and hda2 and hda5
[06:25] <Jordan_U> b0ha, np
[06:25] <helpa> jimqode: hda1 is 78gb and rest is 2.89gb
[06:25] <soundray> curlygc: boot from a live CD, run 'gksudo gparted' and see what it lets you do. Better yet, get ext2fsd for Windows and move some of your user data to your Linux /home
[06:25] <anna> i mean my network
[06:25] <thesaint3k> qmake
[06:25] <helpa> jimqode: wich one?
[06:26] <bsdunix> for purposes of testing compiz / beryl in gtk-based wm other than gnome, how do i kill X (without it restarting) and call alternate wm?
[06:26] <jimqode> helpa, it should be the first partition on your drive looking at your error message. If you will be using all your disk for ubuntu you can just delete them all. If you dont have important data on your disk that is.
[06:26] <kbrooks> do i need to backup my stuff b4 i install ubuntu?
[06:26] <helpa> jimqode: thank you for your help =)
[06:26] <sarthor> Hi, mail client.. thunderbird and evolution are installed. by right clicking and sending any file, evolution seems the default email cleint, while i have changed to thunderbird from preffered application.. what to do???? Using Fiesty
[06:26] <jimqode> bsdunix, beryl-manager let's you choose wm without restarting X
[06:27] <magnetron> anna: i regard using WPA to be a minimum level of security.
[06:27] <curlygc> thank you soundray!
[06:27] <jimqode> helpa, np :)
[06:27] <ali1234> anna: if you dont use some kind of security people can see all the traffic on your network - like what pages you view, emails you send, what you say on IMs, etc, etc
[06:27] <soundray> kbrooks: data you haven't backed up is data you don't want.
[06:27] <bsdunix> jimqode thanks. i'll have a look-see.
[06:27] <bsdunix> jimqode; here, i had edited ~/xinitrc already
[06:28] <bsdunix> jimqode; ~/.xinitrc that is
[06:28] <jimqode> bsdunix, you will need to restart X if you want to see the changes then. I thought you wanted to switch wm without restarting X
[06:28] <Screphoe> anna, just use the encryption. or disable the wireless and plug in manually.
[06:29] <bsdunix> jimqode; good show. thanks
[06:29] <mon^rch> defrysk: tx again for the link
[06:29] <sarthor> Hi, mail client.. thunderbird and evolution are installed. by right clicking and sending any file, evolution seems the default email cleint, while i have changed to thunderbird from system... preffered application.. what to do???? Using Fiesty
[06:30] <anna> Evolution is much easier to set then Tunderbird
[06:32] <arooni> does anyone know if integrated WWAN is supported in ubuntu?
[06:32] <Screphoe> When i install ubuntu, can i point it to install on a specific partition on the start screen? I have 6 partitions across 2 harddisks. and i think my previous problem is to do with ubuntu not finding the partitions.(complete guess)
[06:32] <meisam> hi guys

[06:34] <meisam> anybody knows how to convert pdf to html ?
[06:34] <Kjellviz> whats the command for delete in terminal ?
[06:34] <Kjellviz> to delete a file
[06:34] <POVaddct> Kjellviz: rm

[06:35] <anna_FI> what?
[06:35] <anna_FI> sorry
[06:36] <soundray> md5chksum: don't rename yourself when you've asked a question
[06:36] <Wyzard> Can anyone think of a reason why NetworkManager would fail to "see" eth0 on a system that was upgraded from edgy, given that eth0 itself exists and I can do DHCP on it manually?
[06:36] <md5chksum> soundray, OK..
[06:37] <basvg> hey all... each time a new kernel is installed my /boot/grub/menu.lst gets overwritten... which is annoying because I've added a 'vga=0x0305' :) how do I fix that..?
[06:37] <md5chksum> soundray, can i rename as sarthor now??
[06:37] <soundray> md5chksum: you can do a 'sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/thunderbird /usr/local/bin/evolution' to solve your problem the dirty way
[06:37] <soundray> md5chksum: at least it's worth trying. I'm sure there is a cleaner way, though. Maybe repeat your question later.
[06:37] <Jordan_U> Wyzard, Is it set to roaming in network-admin? They can't both control an interface at the same time.
[06:37] <md5chksum> soundray, Not done
[06:38] <Wyzard> meisam: There's a "pdftohtml" in poppler-utils

[06:41] <logreeval> Jordan_U: , 915resolution... is it in the add/remove or synaptic?
[06:41] <Wyzard> Jordan_U: On a box with a fresh install of feisty, I see that "roaming" checkbox in network-admin and it's unchecked, but on the upgraded box, that checkbox is labeled "enable this connection", not "enable roaming", and it's checked

[06:42] <Wyzard> Jordan_U: It's the same version of gnome-system-tools (2.18.1-0ubuntu1) on both systems, so why would that checkbox be different between the two?

[06:46] <nixternal> durab: that is why I just give you a quick kick :)  thanks
[06:46] <shavex> compiz fusion help!  i have to manually start it everytime i start into ubuntu, how to i make it start automatically?
[06:46] <nixternal> but you finished right as I did it :p
[06:46] <Jordan_U> liwayway, Enable universe by going to System -> Administration -> Software Sources, then search for broadcom in synaptic and check bcm43xx-fwcutter or just run: sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[06:46] <psycardis> I recently upgraded my kernel to the server version in an attempt to use all 4gb of ram and now whenever I try to run wine or other programs from the terminal i get an error that says Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[06:46] <liwayway> Jordan_U: how do i install bcm43xx-fwcutter?
[06:46] <helpa> SlickMcRunfast: Cannot create a ext3 system on partition #1 on IDE1 master (HDA). you under stand whats wrong? when i install ubuntu?
[06:46] <SlickMcRunfast> shavex; goto sytem>pref>session
[06:47] <SlickMcRunfast> shavex: and add it
[06:47] <ali1234> soundray: ah external... missed that part
[06:47] <Jordan_U> psycardis, You don't need a server kernel to use 4 GIG of RAM
[06:47] <liwayway> Jordan_U: after doing that, what's next?
[06:47] <durab> so now I have a script for sdparm hacked up, where is the best place for ubuntu to call it on boot? rc?
[06:47] <Jordan_U> liwayway, Restart or run: sudo modprobe bcm43xx
[06:48] <shavex> thank you
[06:48] <psycardis> Jordan_U well, now the old kernel won't work either.
[06:48] <soundray> durab: /etc/rc.local
[06:48] <SlickMcRunfast> helpa: I'm still a linux noob I cant be of much help
[06:48] <helpa> SlickMcRunfast:  okey hhehe ^^
[06:48] <Jordan_U> psycardis, It doesn't sound like a kernel problem anyways
[06:48] <Kjellviz> soundray: any luck on that pastebin ?
[06:48] <shavex> SlickMcRunfast, where should compiz fusion be located?
[06:48] <psycardis> Jordan_U: i can get into xserver in both kernels
[06:49] <SlickMcRunfast> shavex: you just need the of the app. Let me find it
[06:49] <kbrooks> um everyone.
[06:49] <pramz> hello
[06:49] <Vistard> Jordan_U: really, i thought only the ubuntu server kernels were compiled with pae
[06:49] <Vistard> Jordan_U: so if you're 32 bit, its what you need
[06:49] <soundray> Kjellviz: now try 'sudo apt-get install alacarte gnome-panel'. At some point, you'll have a combination that will install. Been there, done that...
[06:50] <Benlari> I am testing Gossip.. 123... seems awesome in a way.
[06:50] <helpa> Cannot create a ext3 system on partition #1 on IDE1 master (HDA). This happens when i try to install ununtu.. i had an linux crash so i had to reinstall it but now i get this! help
[06:50] <kbrooks> i want to install ubuntu on a lappy. but i need to get wireless after installation.
[06:50] <liwayway> Jordan_U: i'll get back to you... thnks for the help... mabuhay from manila, philippines!
[06:50] <Jordan_U> Vistard, Oh, thought he was using 64
[06:50] <kbrooks> i have a broadcom card.
[06:50] <psycardis> Jordan_U: Well, I'm suddenly less concerned with not using 4gb as to the fact that I can't really do anything...
[06:50] <Vistard> Jordan_U: well i dont know, but you'd assume he's using 32 if he's using a server kernel for ram reasons
[06:50] <Jordan_U> kbrooks, Install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[06:50] <SlickMcRunfast> shavex: just compiz
[06:50] <SlickMcRunfast> should start it
[06:51] <cvw> What's a good program that will read mp3's and rename them into a structured directory listing?
[06:51] <SlickMcRunfast> not folder path needed
[06:51] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, and then what do i do after that?
[06:51] <psycardis> Jordan_U: I have a Core 2 Duo, i'm confused as to whether it is 64 or not...
[06:51] <CrazySpaz666> all core 2 dup are 64
[06:51] <CrazySpaz666> duo*
[06:51] <Kjellviz> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27973/
[06:51] <Jordan_U> kbrooks, Either restart or run: sudo modprobe bcm43xx
[06:51] <Kjellviz> still errors
[06:51] <Vistard> psycardis: are you running the restricted modules with nvidia drivers?
[06:51] <Vistard> from the nv site
[06:51] <Kjellviz> soundray: keep adding what he misses ?
[06:51] <psycardis> Vistard: how do I tell?
[06:51] <soundray> Kjellviz: yes
[06:51] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, that's it? just those 2 commands? i find that a bit hard to believe.
[06:51] <shavex> SlickMcRunfast, do i just put that in the name? or what do i put as command?
[06:52] <Vistard> CrazySpaz666: they're "64bit" but he's probably running 32bit ubuntu
[06:52] <SlickMcRunfast> command
[06:52] <soundray> Kjellviz: annoying, I know, but tried and tested.
[06:52] <Jordan_U> psycardis, The chip is 64 bit but you are probably using 32 bit Ubuntu
[06:52] <CrazySpaz666> yeah true
[06:52] <younghacker> is there a program that can 'master' mp3 files (maybe clean the sound up and make it crisper) ?
[06:52] <Screphoe> Am I able to  'prepare' a certain partion when i'm in win xp for ubuntu installation, ie. what to format it with and what filesystem to use, knowing exactly where ubuntu would find it and call/classify it?
[06:52] <psycardis> Vistard: I'm running 32bit ubuntu
[06:52] <helpa> Cannot create a ext3 system on partition #1 on IDE1 master (HDA). This happens when i try to install ununtu.. i had an linux crash so i had to reinstall it but now i get this! help
[06:52] <shavex> ok thank you!
[06:52] <CrazySpaz666> psycardis: you getting not compatible with architecture errors?
[06:52] <psycardis> Vistard: I am using the .run file on nvidia's website
[06:52] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, ping. answer my q please.
[06:52] <Jordan_U> kbrooks, If your card works with the reverse-engineered drivers then that is really all you need to do
[06:52] <psycardis> crazyspaz666: what do you mean?
[06:52] <Vistard> psycardis: apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)-
[06:53] <Kjellviz> soundray: zomg ok
[06:53] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, wow. amazing. i'll test that out!
[06:53] <cvw> What's a good program that will read mp3's and rename them into a structured directory listing?
[06:53] <Kjellviz> soundray: no other way ? i mean ive got the livecd here
[06:53] <Kjellviz> soundray: sounds like a reinstall would be easier ><
[06:53] <CrazySpaz666> psycardis: if you have 32 bit ubuntu but a 64bit processor, you'll get architecture errors, and it wont allow you to install programs
[06:53] <psycardis> Vistard: what are restricted modules
[06:53] <SlickMcRunfast> shavex: that should work if it works the same way as it did six months ago
 psycardis: if you have 32 bit ubuntu but a 64bit processor, you'll get architecture errors, and it wont allow you to install programs # not so.
[06:54] <Half-Left> Hello, where can I talk to people about submitting artwork or contributing?
[06:54] <SlickMcRunfast> longago all you had todo is type "thefuture"
[06:54] <psycardis> kbrooks is right
[06:54] <CrazySpaz666> kbrooks: it did with mine, til I changed to 64 bit version
[06:54] <Wyzard> CrazySpaz666: AMD64 and Intel 64 processors can run 32-bit OSes just fine
[06:54] <psycardis> I've been running for months with no problem
[06:54] <kbrooks> CrazySpaz666, 64 bit is backward compatible to 32 bit.
[06:54] <CrazySpaz666> I think my ubuntu was being picky then O_O
[06:54] <Vistard> you can run 32 bit software on 64
[06:54] <soundray> Kjellviz: you could also install some of the needed packages with 'sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/packagename_*.deb' (after you've done sudo apt-get autoclean'). At some point you're bound to break the tie.
[06:54] <Vistard> definitely
[06:55] <Screphoe> Crazyspazz666, i have a 64bit procesor, is that why i have difficulty installing ubuntu
[06:55] <psycardis> Vistard: what are restricted modules
[06:55] <Vistard> psycardis: they are modules which aren't available under free license
[06:55] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: What's your problem with alacarte?
[06:55] <soundray> !motu | Half-Left
[06:55] <ubotu> Half-Left: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[06:55] <CrazySpaz666> screphoe I have 64 bit provrssor too, mine installed fine
[06:55] <psycardis> vistard: ok
[06:55] <Vistard> psycardis: they are probably the issue
[06:55] <Kjellviz> soundray: im fed up with trying and failing ^^ im gonna backup my homefolder to DVD and reinstall
[06:55] <CrazySpaz666> oh my god my spelling sucks today
[06:55] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: Maybe I can help
[06:55] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: nothing particular, im trying to reinstall gnome
[06:56] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: got a ubuntu install which i installed kde on
[06:56] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: Reinstall all of GNOME, why?
[06:56] <soundray> Amaranth: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27959/
[06:56] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[06:56] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: and adept removed gnome from my system
[06:56] <Screphoe> Crazyspaz, i get lots of issues and errors, wont even live boot
[06:56] <cvw> What are some other programs besides EasyTag that are good for sorting mp3's?
[06:56] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:56] <kbrooks> umm.
[06:56] <soundray> cvw: exfalso
[06:56] <CrazySpaz666> you tried re-burning ISO file?
[06:56] <Vistard> psycardis: did it remove them?
[06:56] <cvw> soundray thx I will check it out
[06:56] <kbrooks> how do i backup my windows mbr to a file?
[06:56] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: thats what im having problems with
[06:56] <Wyzard> Screphoe: No, 32-bit Ubuntu will work fine on an AMD64 or Intel 64 processor
[06:57] <kbrooks> on my livecd.
[06:57] <ali1234> cvw: just import them all to rythmbox and stop worrying about where they actually are located on your HD
[06:57] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: just get errors when trying to apt-get ubuntu-desktop
[06:57] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: Then you must be using 3rd party repos
[06:57] <soundray> Amaranth: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27959/ -- this is Kjellviz's root problem
[06:57] <psycardis> E: Couldn't find package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-server
[06:57] <Screphoe> yeah, first thing i tried.
[06:57] <CrazySpaz666> only problem I ever had with live cd, was when I stupidly just burned the ISO file without unpacking it
[06:57] <tntcoda> is there anyway to make virtual desktops have their own unique window list?
[06:57] <rgl> you guys known how to read the Chassis Intrusion Detect switch on the PC?
[06:57] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: what does 'sudo apt-get install alacarte' say?
[06:57] <Vistard> psycardis: pm me the results of apt-cache search linux-restricted
[06:58] <Major|> can someone help me with my wireless card??
[06:58] <Screphoe> worked on my laptop, but my desktop just refuses
[06:58] <CrazySpaz666> screphoe: checked it's not a hardware error?
[06:58] <magnetron> !ask | Major|
[06:58] <ubotu> Major|: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:58] <Wyzard> hmm...  looks like my NetworkManager problem might be an issue specifically with VMware's "vmxnet" driver
[06:58] <Vistard> psycardis: actually
[06:58] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27972/
[06:58] <Screphoe> What do you mean by unpacking it?
[06:59] <Vistard> do apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic-
[06:59] <CrazySpaz666> burning the contents of the ISO file
[06:59] <Vistard> since you would have had a generic kernel before the server one
[06:59] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: and 'sudo apt-get install gnome-panel'?
[06:59] <Major|> i try i fix my wirelse card, so that i can use it on ubuntu. and i google and i fine this site: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102
[06:59] <Major|> but i can fine out wath i shell do on nr 7
[06:59] <psycardis> Vistard: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27974/
[07:00] <Vistard> cool
[07:00] <Vistard> do apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic-
[07:00] <Jordan_U> kbrooks, dd if=/dev/hdx of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1
[07:00] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: some other missing dependancie
[07:00] <ubuntu_> what's the difference between logical and primary partition?
[07:00] <psycardis> Vistard: I'm currently running the server kernel not the generic
[07:00] <md5chksum> Hi, mail client.. thunderbird and evolution are installed. by right clicking and sending any file, evolution seems the default email cleint, while i have changed to thunderbird from system... preffered application.. what to do???? Using Fiesty
[07:00] <cvw> alil234 I'm trying to help a friend out, and he'd like his files sorted.
[07:00] <Vistard> psycardis: yeah, but you probably have the generic restricted modules
[07:00] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: ok, i don't really have time to see how deep the rabbit hole goes
[07:00] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: bottom line is that im gonna reinstall, cos im not a guy that have the patience for errors like this
[07:00] <Vistard> just give it a crack
[07:00] <Jordan_U> kbrooks, There is also a package in universe for installing a win98-200/xp mbr
[07:01] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, no need, i don't think.
[07:01] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: you could remove all 3rd party crack from your sources.list, remove libgtk2.0-0, and try again
[07:01] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, but thanks.
[07:01] <Screphoe> CrazySpaz666, Ii burned the iso to a cd using alchol120, when the machine boots it goes to the ubuntu screen asking what to do. so yeah it worked.
[07:01] <CrazySpaz666> hrm
[07:01] <psycardis> already newest version
[07:01] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: its been commented out
[07:01] <Vistard> psycardis: with a minus at the end
[07:01] <Vistard> psycardis: to remove it
[07:02] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: only standard repos left
[07:02] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: There is absolutely no way for your system to end up like this unless you've got unsupported 3rd party packages installed
[07:02] <Screphoe> CrazySpaz666, but installing it just spews errors and panics
[07:02] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: alright, 'sudo apt-get --purge remove libgtk2.0-0'
[07:02] <psycardis> Vistard: done
[07:02] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: then install ubuntu-desktop
[07:03] <CrazySpaz666> Screphoe: Then I have no idea, try the forums, see if anyone else is having the same problem and if they have a solution
[07:03] <Vistard> psycardis: recompile your nvidia drivers and reboot.  failing that, i'd remove your nvidia drivers and install nvidia-glx
[07:03] <Screphoe> CrazySpaz666 , for example: kernel panic - not syncing : VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown - block (104,1)
[07:03] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: theres absolutely no way to run ubuntu without 3rd party stuff for me ><
[07:03] <Kjellviz> but ill try
[07:03] <Screphoe> forums say jacksh$t
[07:04] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: then be smart about what 3rd party stuff you install and realize that switching from GNOME to KDE or upgrading to a newer release of ubuntu is probably going to require a reinstall
[07:04] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: Because the people making 3rd party packages usually don't know what they're doing
[07:04] <cvw> Amaranth what?!  switching between Gnome and KDE should never require a re-install
[07:04] <Wyzard> yep, looks like NetworkManager doesn't play well with vmxnet...  I'll have to stick with the emulated pcnet32, I guess
[07:05] <Amaranth> cvw: It will if you've used something like automatix to break your system
[07:05] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: yes i do realize that
[07:05] <CrazySpaz666> Screphoe: Google comes up with nothing either
[07:05] <ompaul> cvw, depends on what third party software is what he is saying
[07:05] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: just wanted to give kde a spin
[07:05] <Wyzard> The interface created by vmxnet isn't recognized by HAL for some reason, so NetworkManager can't see it
[07:05] <cvw> Amaranth OK, I can't disagree with that
[07:05] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: why i wanna get gnome back going
[07:05] <Still_Dre> where can I get portuguese support for ubuntu at IRC???
[07:05] <Jordan_U> kbrooks, That last command I gave was wrong, it will also back up your partition table, to just get your mbr do: dd if=MBR-backup of=/dev/hdx bs=448 count=1
[07:05] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: if you give me access to your machine i could fix it for you
[07:05] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: is that i cant get stuff done in kde, things dont work as im used to
[07:06] <ompaul> !pt | Still_Dre
[07:06] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: how ?
[07:06] <ubotu> Still_Dre: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[07:06] <CrazySpaz666> Screphoe: seems to be a bug, but most people are experiencing after install, not from live disk
[07:06] <Still_Dre> ompaul thanks
[07:06] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: you'd have to install openssh-server and give me your IP address, username, and password
[07:06] <Still_Dre> ubotu vlw
[07:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vlw - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:06] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: it's not something you should normally do but in this case it's probably the only way to fix your system without a reinstall
[07:06] <Screphoe> CrazySpaz666, it could be my hardware, it is a fairly new system. amd athlon64 fx-62, nvidia7950gx2, asus m2n32 sli deluxe...
[07:06] <ompaul> Still_Dre, it is a bot ..
[07:06] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: think we'd have to start arguing with my router and its firewall etc
[07:07] <ariel> canal de ubuntu en espaol
[07:07] <Still_Dre> hahahaha
[07:07] <xayon> ariel, ubuntu-es

[07:07] <basvg> hmm, man grub and doc in /boot/grub/menu.lst doesnt help much..
[07:07] <CrazySpaz666> Screphoe: It couldn't be your gfx card I don't think, processor is fine and mobo looks fine, I suppose a connection check between mobo and cd drive could be in order

[07:08] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: although a reinstall only takes like 20 minutes so i suppose it's not that big of a deal
[07:08] <ariel> gracias
[07:08] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, oh, okay. well, i did that command already. how do i get just the mbr when i dd it back in to my hard drive?
[07:08] <CrazySpaz666> Screphoe: there is definitely amply power supply too?
[07:08] <CrazySpaz666> ample*
[07:09] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, i mean dd if=/dev/hdx of=MBR-backup bs=512 count=1
[07:09] <CrazySpaz666> Screphoe: check the RAM too, 9 times out of 10 it's the RAMs fault
[07:09] <insp> anyone know how to sync an ipod?
[07:09] <Flackrum> hey I just wanted to thank all of you folks who are taking the time to help everyone, it's appreciated
[07:09] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, is it like dd if=MBR-backup of=/dev/hdx bs=448 count=1
[07:10] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, (fortunately, I have the MBR on a usb thumbdrive .... )
[07:10] <Screphoe> CrazySpaz666, it's a 550watt power supply.
[07:10] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: well the 20 min install is np, its loosing the enitre /home thats the problem ><
[07:11] <Screphoe> I have 2gig ram that registers fine under winxp
[07:11] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: as well as config done to get my screen working etc
[07:11] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, answer my question please.
[07:11] <ARTILLERY> How do I access my windows files from ubuntu?
[07:11] <Flackrum> how about a livecd boot, mount, and copy the /home?
[07:11] <Jordan_U> kbrooks, I think that as long as you use 446 instead of 512 when you restore you should be fine, but I am not certain ( and it is pretty important considering that it could possibly overwrite your partition table with incorrect data ) so I would check with someone more knowledgeable that I.
[07:11] <younghacker> whats the proper syntax to use ssh to tunnel to another computer say on the same network?
[07:11] <CrazySpaz666> Screphoe: CD Drive works fine in XP too i'm guessing
[07:11] <Jordan_U> kbrooks, Give me time to finish typing :)
[07:11] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, wait wait stop.
[07:12] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, is it 446 or 448?
[07:12] <Screphoe> CrazySpaz666, definitly
[07:12] <Chow22> Hello
[07:12] <psycardis> Vistard: same problem
[07:12] <Flackrum> ssh -p portnumber -l root ipaddress
[07:12] <Vistard> psycardis: prolly not your nvidia drivers then
[07:12] <younghacker> cool
[07:12] <psycardis> does software care what kernel its running on?
[07:12] <Chow22> I am wondering if ubuntu has support for hdmi output with the new 690g chipset
[07:13] <Vistard> psycardis: not really
[07:13] <Vistard> psycardis: change anything else recently?
[07:13] <Screphoe> CrazySpaz666, installed doom3 fine 4hrs ago.
[07:13] <psycardis> Vistard: nope
[07:13] <Jordan_U> kbrooks, I am sorry, check with someone more knowledgeable, I don't want to give bad advice
[07:13] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, "If a full 512-byte backup has already been made, a 446-byte partial restore can still be used"
[07:13] <Screphoe> CrazySpaz666, plays perfectly, so all my hardware is fine.
[07:13] <Vistard> psycardis: so what did you change when you moved kernel
[07:13] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, from wikipedia
[07:14] <psycardis> we installed the server kernel and of course had to reinstall the nvidia package, and wine and cedega and nvidia-settings don't work...
[07:14] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: though im currently doing:  'sudo apt-get --purge remove libgtk2.0-0'
[07:14] <younghacker> thanks @ Flak
[07:14] <Benlari> could someone show me his /boot/grub/menu.lst (pastebin for instance), I had to manually create on as the Ubuntu installer screwed up grub installation completely.. and now the new kernel updates don't get added automatically
[07:14] <Vistard> psycardis: does anything else not work
[07:14] <Flackrum> np younghacker
[07:14] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record here you go
[07:14] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: it'll take awhile, it's removing every non-qt GUI app on your system
[07:14] <psycardis> firefox works pidgin works...
[07:14] <Vistard> psycardis: and whats the error
[07:14] <CrazySpaz666> Screphoe: it seems like some people have gotten around it with the command line, i'm gonna find the commands for you now
[07:14] <Vistard> psycardis: does glxgears work
[07:15] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: hmm ok =S
[07:15] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: need to clear out the crap packages preventing an install
[07:15] <Flackrum> when I switched kernels, I used envy via the command-line to get nvidia's driver working
[07:15] <Kjellviz> its done
[07:15] <Kjellviz> now what =P
[07:16] <psycardis> Vistard: no
[07:16] <Screphoe> CrazySpaz666, thanks alot, cause i've looked.
[07:16] <psycardis> Vistard: same error...
[07:16] <ARTILLERY> What is an application I can use that will let Ubuntu see my windows partition?
[07:16] <Vistard> psycardis: try a bunch more and tell me what dont work
[07:17] <Kjellviz> try a apt-get insall ubuntu-desktop again ?
[07:17] <psycardis> Vistard: it looks like anything that was custom installed doesn't work
[07:17] <Ivnz> Witam
[07:18] <Vistard> psycardis: are there any non 3d/opengl programs that aren't working
[07:18] <Flackrum> ARTILLERY, the app that can see windows partitions should come with ubuntu, not sure about minimal installs, but what might be the case for you is mounting the windows drives so the OS can access them
[07:18] <Vistard> psycardis: try apt-get update then apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:18] <psycardis> amarok

[07:18] <IceTox> hey, I managed to delete that menu on the bottom on my feisty installation while I was drunk.. Any way to get it back?
[07:19] <verb3k_> IceTox, Alcohol  is a bad drink :)
[07:19] <phantom_> when i reboot my ALSA mixer Settings are set to 0 volume. Can I edit or fix it somehow ???
[07:19] <IceTox> verb3k_, I've noticed =)
[07:19] <verb3k_> IceTox,  which one you lost ?
[07:19] <joe4444> AWN was automatically updated yesterday, and now its auto-hide feature isn't working properly... can i revert to the previous version?
[07:20] <IceTox> verb3k_, that one on the bottom where you have a list of all programs running...
[07:20] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, so, to get bcm43xx working, i install bcm43xx-fwcutter, and reboot? or?
[07:20] <verb3k_> IceTox,  Click on the top panel and choose "new panel"
[07:21] <IceTox> ohzie, I just found out verb3k_
[07:21] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, ah nm
[07:21] <kbrooks> Jordan_U, scrolled up.
[07:21] <IceTox> sorry ohzie..
[07:21] <IceTox> yah verb3k_, I just did that =) thanks anyway =)
[07:21] <CrazySpaz666> Screphoe: mmk, you need to copy files manually using the command line on the live cd then update the kernel that way, commands: mkdir /mnt/linux, mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/linux, chroot /mnt/linux/bin/bash, mount -t proc /proc /proc, select your linux as the source list, apt-get install initrd-tools, apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.10-5-686, that should remove the current kernel and re-install
[07:21] <verb3k_> IceTox,  no problem :)
[07:21] <ali1234> kbrooks: after uyou install fwcutter, it asks if you want to fetch the driver. say yes, then replug your wifi or reboot if it is internal
[07:22] <CrazySpaz666> then if you can boot after that, use the built in updater to fix any other issues
[07:22] <Benlari> woot? Skype made gtk version?!?!?!
[07:22] <IceTox> brb
[07:22] <kbrooks> ali1234, hang on.
[07:22] <Benlari> and specificalyl designed for ubuntu :D
[07:22] <kbrooks> ali1234, "fetch the driver"?
 in sinptic force version and select version ofd package you licke
[07:22] <ali1234> kbrooks: yes it will ask you
[07:22] <psycardis> Vistard: the first one is hanging at 99% [Waiting for headers] 
[07:23] <kbrooks> ali1234, and when i say yes, it downloads the drivers?
[07:23] <ali1234> kbrooks: just install it, then say yes when it asks you
[07:23] <Vistard> psycardis: hahaha ctrl c, then do it again
[07:23] <Flackrum> I'm using ubuntu fiesty, gnome, and would like to iconify the items in my taskbar (lower gnome-panel) so that they only show the icon, and not the name of the program. Is that possible with the gnome-panel? Or will I need a mix of user interfaces to accomplish that?
[07:23] <ali1234> kbrooks: yes
[07:23] <kbrooks> is bcm43xx-fwcutter on the CD, or do i have to plug in my ethernet connection?
[07:23] <phantom_>  when i reboot my ALSA mixer Settings are set to 0 volume. Can I edit or fix it somehow ???
[07:23] <Vistard> sometimes it just stalls or resolves something to 0.0.0.0 magically
[07:23] <ali1234> kbrooks: you need an internet connection
[07:24] <joe4444> Flackrum: check out AWN (avant window navigator)
[07:24] <ali1234> kbrooks: fwcutter might be on the cd, but the file it downloads and cuts definately is not
[07:24] <Wyzard> grr...  how is /etc/init.d/vmware-tools managing to load the vmxnet driver when I've renamed the .ko file so modprobe can't find it anymore?  :-/
[07:24] <psycardis> Vistard: no, it's waiting on wine.budgetdedicated.com i think is what it said....
[07:24] <joe4444> Flackrum: i'm using that instead of a lower gnome panel
[07:24] <Flackrum> joe4444 thanks a bunch, I'll check that out
[07:24] <CrazySpaz666> Screphoe: hope that helps you with your problems
[07:24] <psycardis> ubuntu and google earth don't work either
[07:24] <kbrooks> ali1234, okay
[07:24] <Geck1> Hello, I was wondering if I could get help with a couple questions, does anyone know how I can install a theme? I downloaded one from xfce-look.org, but I don't know how to get to it or get it set up.
[07:25] <CrazySpaz666> sudo sh <runfile>
[07:25] <CrazySpaz666> ??
[07:25] <Geck1> It is a theme for Xubuntu, if that makes any difference (thats what I'm running)
[07:25] <psycardis> Vistard: no, this is the third time its hung at that one....
[07:26] <joe4444> phantom_: i tried force version but after i select the older version and click Force Version i still can't click the Apply button to update the package
[07:26] <themoebius> how can I install an rpm?
[07:26] <kbrooks> !info bcm43xx-fwcutter
[07:26] <ubotu> bcm43xx-fwcutter: Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:006-1 (feisty), package size 24 kB, installed size 116 kB
[07:26] <CrazySpaz666> Geck1: shouldn't make a difference of the distro you are using
[07:26] <Vistard> psycardis: just leave it until it finishes then
[07:26] <ali1234> themoebius: alien. but ensure there is no ubuntu deb first
[07:26] <Geck1> CrazySpaz666, ok, do you know where I go to set it up?
[07:27] <CrazySpaz666> Geck1: use "cd" command to get to the directory where you saved the theme, then use sudo sh <themename>.run to intall
[07:27] <rolfen> yo peeps I need to know something
[07:27] <icetox> verb3k_ ok, now I feel dumb.. I was supposed to remove an object from the upper menu, and ended up removing everything.. lol.. any tips? =)
[07:27] <Geck1> Alright thanks, and one more question, if I make a new user, will that user have access to all the programs I already have installed on my computer? And is it possible to make this user not have a password, such as for a guest account?
[07:27] <Flackrum> joe4444: rock on, damn AWN looks great, thanks again
[07:28] <CrazySpaz666> Geck1: no, you have to set their priviledges with the user panel
[07:28] <rolfen> Geck AFAIK the user will have access to all programs usually
[07:28] <Screphoe> CrazySpaz666, what command line on the live cd? i get to the welcome screen when i boot press f6 for the boot line. is that what you are talking about
[07:28] <rolfen> oops then
[07:28] <psycardis> Vistard: ok , i ran those
[07:28] <Geck1> Ok great =) thanks guys
[07:28] <CrazySpaz666> Screphoe: yeah
[07:28] <rolfen> sorry
[07:28] <Vistard> psycardis: did anything upgrade
[07:28] <ali1234> Geck1: i think you can allow some users to login without password from the login manager, just under the "autologin" settings
[07:28] <psycardis> Vistard: nope
[07:28] <Geck1> thanks ali1234
[07:28] <ali1234> Geck1: that is to say, it will store the password for that user
[07:28] <joe4444> Flackrum: np
[07:29] <rolfen> ok my question is is the netfilter connbytes extention compiled in the ubuntu stock kernel?
[07:29] <joe4444> phantom_: there?  i can't get Synaptic's force version to work...
[07:29] <Vistard> psycardis: im not sure what you should do next
[07:30] <psycardis> Ok, new question ok, earlier when I was upgrading we made my /home it's on partition.... if i reinstall how do i make it use the partition version of /home
[07:30] <icetox> I managed to remove all my menus both on top and bottom. Any way to get this back?
[07:30] <ali1234> hmm he left, i think i was thinking of the kdm... gdm doesnt seem to be able to store passwords
[07:31] <Screphoe> CrazySpaz666:  ok, i have 6 partitions across 2 harddisks.; so it says there hda1, can i copy to a specific partition?
[07:31] <Sharn> I'm learning Russian and looking for a way to type it alongside English. Anyone have a useful link or anything?
[07:31] <Jordan_U> psycardis, Just do manual partitioning, set the mount point of your current /home partition to /home and *don't* check it for reformat
[07:32] <rolfen> can with ubuntu 7.04 do that for me: "locate xt_connbytes.ko" I cant to know if ubuntu is compiled with connbytes without having to download the whole distro! (slow connection)
[07:32] <psycardis> ok, thanks, that should fix all my problems correct? a reinstall
[07:32] <rolfen> and thanks
[07:32] <night> Ya T'il un dossier de coockie ou de fichier temporair sous ubuntu ?

[07:38] <LuiCal> can someone help me with hard drive permission  issues
[07:38] <rolfen> I'm a firefox guy
[07:38] <rolfen> yeah luical
[07:38] <Bob_Dole> I use Camino. On my Mac.
[07:38] <rolfen> what's the problem LuiCal?
[07:38] <Bob_Dole> and firfox on this dell which runs linux.
[07:38] <abduliounited> I got a web camera. do someone how the web camera works with skype??
[07:38] <zombiebox> psycardis, "sv" would be sweish language. 'se' is country code but language code is 'sv'
[07:39] <abduliounited> I have ubuntu
[07:39] <cables> abduliounited, you can't use webcams with Skype for Linux.
[07:39] <mwe> !mount LuiCal
[07:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mount luical - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:39] <mwe> !mount | LuiCal
[07:39] <ubotu> LuiCal: 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
[07:39] <cables> abduliounited, there's other software, like Ekiga, that'll let you video chat with Linux.
[07:39] <LuiCal> i dont have permission to write on my drives
[07:39] <LuiCal> neither as root
[07:39] <ARTILLERY> Any of you play Tremulous?
[07:39] <mwe> LuiCal: read the message from ubotu
[07:39] <cables> LuiCal, are they NTFS+
[07:39] <cables> ?
[07:39] <cables> LuiCal, ignore the +
[07:39] <mwe> LuiCal: you need to mount it correctly
[07:40] <abduliounited> cables: I have to wait for a new ver. of skype with webcamera facilities??
[07:40] <LuiCal> yep, and i downloaded ntfs g3
[07:40] <abduliounited> right?
[07:40] <cables> abduliounited, yes, or switch to Ekiga, or switch to Windows.
[07:40] <abduliounited> Ok
[07:40] <abduliounited> good
[07:40] <LuiCal> but it doesnt work
[07:40] <mwe> it does
[07:40] <mwe> mount it correctly
[07:40] <LuiCal> how do i do that
[07:40] <abduliounited> thanks for your great support
[07:40] <cables> LuiCal, here's an easier way: Go to Applications>Add/Remove and install NTFS Configuration Tool.
[07:40] <rolfen> LuiCal can u do this "mount" your rw should be rw
[07:40] <cables> LuiCal, it'll automatically do it for you.
[07:40] <rolfen> i mean your / should be (rw)
[07:41] <LuiCal> ok let me see
[07:41] <abduliounited> yes the point is that I didnt switch to windows
[07:41] <abduliounited> :)
[07:41] <cables> LuiCal, after installing the NTFS Configuration Tool, you start it with Applications>System Tools>NTFS Configuration Tool. Check off the drives you want to add, and it'll do everything for you.
[07:42] <cables> LuiCal, if you've added stuff to /etc/fstab for the ntfs-3g thing, you should remove it.
[07:42] <cables> LuiCal, then you can use the config tool.
[07:42] <abduliounited> cables: Ekiga works like skype??
[07:42] <rolfen> uh looks like i'm off topic again...
[07:42] <abduliounited> I didnt try Ekiga yet
[07:42] <LuiCal> ok let me remove that
[07:42] <cables> abduliounited, I haven't found it that great, but I do know that it supports video.
[07:43] <abduliounited> cables: thanks again
[07:43] <abduliounited> cioa
[07:43] <abduliounited> ciao
[07:44] <LuiCal> how do i remove ntfs config from de fstab file?
[07:44] <Geck1> Hi, I just have one more question (sorry!) -- There are some screen shots here http://www.xfce.org/about/screenshots which are from xfce, which I think is the same thing that Xubuntu uses.  I can't seem to find any themes like in those screenshots with alpha blended (transparent) windows/window borders.  I didnt see any at xfce-look.org either.  Does anyone know where to look for these transparent themes?
[07:44] <LuiCal> its still says something about ntfs g3 file config
[07:45] <LuiCal> how do i remove ntfs g3 config?
[07:45] <EADG> !wubi > EADG
[07:45] <aurynn> Where's the UI to control what disks get mounted at boot on 7.04?

[07:46] <vermoos> yo
[07:46] <vermoos> is automatix2 still the way to go when installing multimedia?
[07:46] <vermoos> i want to install real player, or equivalent
[07:47] <aurynn> vermoos, totem asked if I wanted to install the mp3 libraries, and then did so
[07:47] <LuiCal> hello, how can i remove ntfs config g3 from my fstab?
[07:47] <rolfen> Can you get transparent windows without XGL/compiz?
[07:47] <vermoos> aurynn apparently feisty is supposed to have "guided multimedia codec installation"
[07:47] <aurynn> rolfen, some variety of compositor is needed
[07:47] <dfgas_> rolfen, why wouldn't you want compiz?
[07:47] <aurynn> rolfen, but hardware-accel isn't
[07:48] <rolfen> not that i wouldnt want i was just trying to answer Geck1
[07:48] <ZaZa> ciao a tutti

[07:48] <LuiCal> someone plis, i have lots of days trying to setup my pc to permanently use ubuntu, please, private help me plis
[07:48] <Geck1> rolfen: my hardware can't handle it =)
[07:48] <rolfen> he was asking about some transparent theme for xcfe
[07:48] <vermoos> i want to see the footage of that suicide bomber being wrestled to the ground at glasgow airport
[07:48] <Geck1> I use xfce because it is lighter on hardware reqs,
[07:48] <dfgas_> i am using compiz fusion it LOVIN IT
[07:48] <rolfen> i didnt know you could have transparency without installing xgl/compiz
[07:48] <rolfen> but then i may have missed something
[07:49] <ZaZa> scusate ma ubuntu italian?
[07:49] <aurynn> so is there a UI to control which disks get mounted at boot?
[07:49] <Geck1> I don't know if you can, thats what I'm asking >_< I'm new to linux altogether, and I just saw some purdy screenshots at http://www.xfce.org/about/screenshots
[07:49] <dfgas_> rolfen, you can do it with xchat and the menu bars in gnome without compiz or xgl
[07:49] <Wyzard> dfgas_: that's not real transparency, that's just taking a screenshot of the wallpaper and tinting it
[07:49] <psycardis> ZaZa: /j #Ubuntu.it
[07:49] <rolfen> ah ok :) sorry
[07:50] <dfgas_> Wyzard, yah i know, but its still the thought
[07:50] <aurynn> I'd rather not manually screw with fstab
[07:50] <rolfen> Geck1 http://xfce-diary.blogspot.com/2006/03/transparent-terminal-hack.html
[07:50] <Wyzard> rolfen: AIGLX and XGL are the underlying mechanisms that allow GPU-based transparency, with AIGLX being the preferable one (but ATI's driver doesn't support it yet)
[07:50] <ZaZa> ok grazie
[07:50] <rolfen> or Geck just search the xcfe site for "transparent" or "transparency"
[07:50] <Wyzard> rolfen: Compiz is an application which uses either AIGLX or XGL to actually put composited transparent stuff on the screen
[07:50] <rolfen> yup
[07:51] <dfgas_> Wyzard, you see or try compiz fusion yet?
[07:51] <Wyzard> rolfen: XFCE might be using its own compositor, a different layer on top of AIGLX/XGL
[07:51] <Geck1> thank you rolfen
[07:51] <rolfen> np :)
[07:51] <Gigi> hey guys!  How can I run Google Desktop?  I installed it but I do not find it!
[07:51] <Wyzard> dfgas_: nope, until it's packaged I'm not too interested
[07:51] <Wyzard> rolfen: or it might be using the older non-GPU-based compositing system, which can't do 3D effects
[07:51] <predaeus_> Geck1, see what I wrote to you in the #xubuntu channel
[07:51] <dfgas_> Wyzard, you add a repo and you can install it through apt
[07:51] <ant30> Hi all
[07:52] <ant30> Did somebody use partimage?
[07:52] <dfgas_> Wyzard, you want the how to one it?
[07:52] <Geck1> Ah ok I see, thanks predaeus =)
[07:52] <dfgas_> one=on
[07:52] <misty> hi
[07:52] <Wyzard> dfgas_: That's good to know, but I'm primarily a Debian user so I'll wait for Debian packages (unless the site has them already)
[07:52] <aurynn> so there's no UI to mess with disk mounting?
[07:52] <misty> I see that there is a bacula-2.0.3 deb for 'gutsy' (what is that??) -- how can I get that in Feisty?
[07:52] <misty> I need that version and I'd rather not build by hand
[07:53] <Wyzard> dfgas_: and last time I tried Compiz it didn't integrate with GNOME quite as nicely as Metacity
[07:53] <confetti> Hey folks. I'm trying to install ubuntu's 64 bit desktop version on my laptop. I have an hp dv6045nr from best buy. I can sometimes get the livecd to boot, but it's like a 1 in 10 chance. If I do get it to boot, and use the installer, everything goes fine until it gets to 90% where it's detecting hardware, then the machine freezes. Anyone got any ideas?
[07:53] <ariel> para ayuda en espaol
[07:53] <dfgas_> Wyzard, heh, not sure then
[07:53] <Wyzard> confetti: Does the 32-bit CD work OK?
[07:53] <ariel> #ubuntu-es
[07:53] <psycardis> ariel: /j #Ubuntu-es
[07:53] <confetti> I can'tt get 32bit cd to load either. But I only tried it once.
[07:53] <confetti> It froze right before x loaded
[07:53] <misty> is gutsy the newest version?
[07:53] <dfgas_> Wyzard, i am using compiz fusion at the moment and it runs awsome, movies in woble windows reflectios, movies in the cube and even gl games play right too
[07:53] <ferronica> how to remove old directories etc automatically ???
[07:53] <ariel> gracias
[07:53] <rolfen> maybe the cd is corrupted?
[07:54] <confetti> 2nd download/burn
[07:54] <psycardis> Ariel: denada
[07:54] <rolfen> ah ok
[07:54] <dfgas_> misty, no its alpha
[07:54] <dfgas_> quite unstable yet
[07:54] <Wyzard> dfgas_: If it's a new computer, maybe it's defective?
[07:54] <Wyzard> dfgas_: oops
[07:54] <Wyzard> confetti: If it's  a new computer, maybe it's defective?
[07:54] <zombiebox> ok now I found the Swedish ubuntu irc-channel #ubuntu-se (they are country-coded and not language coded then)
[07:55] <misty> ok dfgas_
[07:55] <confetti> It has been running windows just fine for about 8 months
[07:55] <misty> How can I get bacula 2.0.3 installed from the deb repository?
[07:55] <LuiCal> plis someone help me, i cannot find ntfs config tools in add/remove
[07:55] <misty> it's been out forever, there must be a way to get it in feisty
[07:55] <dfgas_> i had a problem with 64bit not loading when 7.04 was beta
[07:55] <erUSUL> !ntfs | LuiCal
[07:55] <ubotu> LuiCal: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:55] <Wyzard> dfgas_: Visual effects like that are nice, but GNOME integration is more important IMO
[07:55] <dfgas_> but now 64bit works good, how ever my wireless won't work in 64bit
[07:55] <Kjellviz> Amaranth: thank you!!!!
[07:56] <Wyzard> dfgas_: My main interest in a composited window manager is for the sake of dragging windows around more smoothly
[07:56] <confetti> well i'll try the 32bit again i guess
[07:56] <confetti> thanks guys
[07:56] <predaeus_> confetti, Isn't there a "test cd" option in the boot menu of that cd? Else, you could also try to install from the Alternate CD which does only have a text GUI.
[07:56] <LuiCal> ive already done that, neither fuse o ntfs g3 worked
[07:56] <Amaranth> Kjellviz: got it working?
[07:56] <predaeus_> doh, too late
[07:56] <rolfen> confetti is gone :(
[07:56] <dfgas_> Wyzard, it seems smoothe to me, i am not sure what you mean by it not integrating so well
[07:57] <Wyzard> dfgas_: IIRC, under Compiz the GNOME pager (the little applet that shows thumbnails of your virtual desktops) didn't work quite the same
[07:57] <LuiCal> help, i still cannot write on my drives with ntfs g3!
[07:57] <om> For some reason i can't burn a CD with feisty..
[07:58] <om> i keep getting errors about drive not ready
[07:58] <Wyzard> dfgas_: That's the sort of thing I mean
[07:58] <om> nautilus says "There was an error writing to the disc"
[07:59] <dfgas_> oh it just shows orange windows of where windows are, but i use the desktop wall and you can move windows from one sapce to another like on Leopard
[07:59] <om> it's really really important that i burn this cd..
[07:59] <borgista> Hello, does anybody know a way of unlocking dpkg?
[07:59] <kbrooks> well, i'm impressed.
[08:00] <dfgas_> borgista, be su or close out synaptic or update manager
[08:00] <kbrooks> it took two things to get my wireless card working under ubuntu:
[08:00] <kbrooks> 1) install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[08:00] <kbrooks> 2) reboot
[08:00] <dfgas_> i have to use ndiswrapper
[08:00] <dfgas_> :(
[08:00] <borgista> dfgas_: My problem is that I tried to install google-desktop-linux and it's been 'installing' for days now and I can't upgrade now. Any ideas?
[08:01] <borgista> dfgas_: It asks me to run dpkg --configure -a but it just stays there forever.
[08:01] <mwe> a lot people have to use ndiswrapper to get wifi in linux
[08:01] <dfgas_> installing it through synaptic?
[08:01] <borgista> dfgas_: I downloaded the .deb off a google page.
[08:01] <dfgas_> mwe, yah, ndiswrapper didn't work in 64bit though for my card
[08:01] <om> when i try to burn a cd with nautilus (or any program) i get "There was an error writing to the disc"
[08:02] <mwe> dfgas_: no
[08:02] <dfgas_> mwe, is there a see progress?
[08:02] <ferronica> how to remove old directories etc automatically ???
[08:02] <LuiCal> please help me with my drive writing issues, i dont know what to do!!!
[08:02] <IceGuest_7>  how do you reconfigure apt-get to change your sources...besides manualling editing the file
[08:02] <Wyzard> dfgas_: ndiswrapper loads Windows drivers, so I wouldn't expect it to work on 64-bit Linux, unless maybe there's a 64-bit Windows driver for your card
[08:02] <borgista> IceGuest_7: Check out "Software Sources" in your menu
[08:02] <mariocesar_bo> Hi everybody, i want to enable the Extended attribute on Beagle. but, i am getting this error: "FAT: Unrecognized mount option "user_xattr" or missing value"
[08:02] <mwe> !mount | LuiCal
[08:02] <ubotu> LuiCal: 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
[08:02] <IceGuest_7> i install server so its just command line
[08:02] <dfgas_> Wyzard, hmmm, never really thought of that i guess :(
[08:02] <borgista> Ah.
[08:03] <mariocesar_bo> i am follow this instruction: http://beagle-project.org/Enabling_Extended_Attributes
[08:03] <mariocesar_bo> does anyone enable it ?
[08:03] <borgista> IceGuest_7: I think you're stuckin using the command line then.
[08:03] <dfgas_> Wyzard, however i don't see a difference from 64 to 32 so i am just going to stay at 32
[08:03] <LuiCal> i already have g parted but i dont know what to do
[08:03] <mwe> dfgas_: it makes life easier
[08:03] <borgista> dfgas_: So, any tips on how to undo the process of "installing" google-desktop-linux to free up dpkg?
[08:03] <dfgas_> mwe, heck yah  :D
[08:03] <mwe> LuiCal: you don't use gparted to mount things
[08:03] <Wyzard> mariocesar_bo: I do...  just put "user_xattr" in the options column in /etc/fstab, assuming you're using ext3
[08:04] <mariocesar_bo> Wyzard: i did it
[08:04] <LuiCal> then please someone tell me what to do, in the propper order
[08:04] <mwe> !diskmounter | LuiCal
[08:04] <dfgas_> borgista, installing it through synaptic?
[08:04] <ubotu> LuiCal: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[08:04] <Wyzard> mariocesar_bo: oh, sorry, I overlooked your previous message
[08:04] <badis> is it #python?
[08:04] <mariocesar_bo> Wyzard: and i get this error when reboot: Unrecognized mount option "user_xattr" or missing value
[08:04] <IceGuest_7> thats right so how do i setup apt-get to pull from different sources...
[08:04] <Wyzard> mariocesar_bo: FAT doesn't support extended attributes
[08:04] <borgista> dfgas_: I installed it through dpkg -i google*.deb
[08:04] <dfgas_> borgista, is there a see progress?
[08:04] <mwe> LuiCal: tell me what you want to mount
[08:04] <dfgas_> ahh
[08:04] <mariocesar_bo> Wyzard: so i can't enable it?
[08:04] <badis> sorry
[08:04] <borgista> dfgas_: not in the terminal no. I can't even open up Synaptic now.
[08:04] <om> Help! when i try to burn a cd with nautilus (or any program) i get "There was an error writing to the disc"
[08:05] <om> i'm going MAD with this problem
[08:05] <dfgas_> borgista, maybe ctrl+c
[08:05] <shavex> how can i make a new folder in the usr directory?
[08:05] <Wyzard> mariocesar_bo: Not on a FAT volume, no
[08:05] <mwe> om: useless error
[08:05] <om> mwe- so what do i do?
[08:05] <mwe> I don't know
[08:05] <borgista> dfgas_: I've tried re-booting but every time I try something with apt-get, synaptic, or dpkg it says to run 'dpkg --configure -a'
[08:05] <borgista> dfgas_: so many circles.
[08:06] <mariocesar_bo> Wyzard: thanks, i change it.
[08:06] <dfgas_> what happens when you do that
[08:06] <mwe> om: maybe if you try burning from the command line you'll get better info on what's going on.
[08:06] <borgista> dfgas_: when i run that command it just says it's "Setting up Google (1.0.1....)"
[08:06] <borgista> dfgas_: and it hangs there eating up 50% of my CPU.
[08:06] <dfgas_> hmmm
[08:06] <dfgas_> sorry no idea then  :(
[08:07] <borgista> dfgas_: Thanks for your intent anyhow. :_)
[08:07] <borgista> :-)
[08:07] <ChaosMachine> How can I access a usb storage device, such as a camera? Also, my computer has slots for the memory devices used in camera's, could anyone tell me where those are located?
[08:07] <mwe> ChaosMachine: I just plug it in and it works
[08:07] <dfgas_> :d
[08:07] <Eden> ive a quick question for you guys, does Ubuntu have support for speedtouch modems or will i need to get the required packages before i install ?
[08:07] <borgista> ChaosMachine: They should automatically pop up when you insert them.
[08:07] <dfgas_> :D
[08:07] <om> mwe- this is what it says: http://rafb.net/p/GJ360H58.html
[08:08] <mwe> ChaosMachine: look at dmesg after inserting it
[08:08] <Wyzard> ChaosMachine: If the camera acts as a USB mass-storage device, just plug it in and it should auto-mount and you'll see the files
[08:08] <kobieta_obok> slyszalam
[08:08] <Wyzard> ChaosMachine: just like a flash drive or whatever
[08:08] <ChaosMachine> I see it now, thank you all.
[08:08] <predaeus_> ChaosMachine, but I think to safely remove them you will have to unmount them by hand, so it finishes copying before you unplug it.
[08:09] <Wyzard> ChaosMachine: Some cameras don't act as mass-storage devices, but they use a protocol called PTP instead...  for that you need PTP-capable transfer software, like F-Spot (I think) or gthumb
[08:09] <LuiCal> ive already used diskmounter, and it asked me for the permissions to write, i sayd yes, but still cant write
[08:09] <om> When I try to burn CDs i get this error: http://rafb.net/p/GJ360H58.html
[08:09] <pike__> LuiCal: what file system?
[08:09] <mwe> om: hmm. did you try wodim -scanbus?
[08:09] <LuiCal> ntfs but ntfs g3 didnt work neither
[08:10] <om> mwe- yeah, i get "Cannot open SCSI driver!" (i don't have a scsi device....)
[08:10] <Eden> anyone know?
[08:10] <mwe> om: well it uses emulation I think
[08:10] <mwe> om: or is supposed to
[08:10] <Wyzard> om: ATAPI is related to SCSI
[08:11] <LuiCal> i have 2 drives, i dont know if diskmounter only worked in my istallation drive
[08:11] <LuiCal> but i still cant write in my storage drive
[08:11] <om> Wyzard, mwe : so what should i try doing? why is this not working?
[08:11] <mwe> hmm
[08:11] <bobgill1> What command can I use to see the size of a directory? If I'm in /home/user and want to see size of /home/user/stuff, how can I list it or show it with its total size
[08:11] <Wyzard> om: It found the drive (/dev/hdd) correctly...  the problem is the "device or resource busy", which means that something else is using the drive
[08:12] <pike__> LuiCal: you have tried pplications  System Tools  NTFS Configuration Tool  ?
[08:12] <om> Wyzard : yeah but even when i reset and do nothing else it says that..
[08:12] <pike__> LuiCal: i havent used ntfs-3g myself but from the docs it looks pretty straight forward
[08:12] <mwe> it also says Cannot open SCSI driver!
[08:12] <Wyzard> om: Maybe it's a rewritable CD that already has data on it, and it's mounted?
[08:12] <mwe> sounds odd
[08:12] <pike__> bobgill1: df -h   the -h is for human readable not really needed
[08:12] <mwe> I'm not sure if it means the driver is not loaded
[08:12] <om> Wyzard : it's mounted as "Blank CD-R Disc"
[08:12] <ariel> #ubuntu-es
[08:13] <Wyzard> om: Well, that's not actually "mounted"
[08:13] <pike__> bobgill1: or du for just a dir i guess
[08:13] <foofooo> Hi,
[08:13] <LuiCal> when i activate all the squares and apply i gives me an error
[08:13] <Wyzard> mwe: I believe that just means it failed to initialize the ATAPI driver to talk to the drive, because of the "device or resource busy"
[08:13] <LuiCal> it gives me an error
[08:13] <foofooo> how can i enable mp3 support in RhythmBox in Ubuntu Fiesty?
[08:13] <pike__> LuiCal: what error?
[08:13] <bruenig> !codecs | foofooo
[08:13] <pike__> !mp3 | foofooo
[08:13] <ubotu> foofooo: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[08:13] <Wyzard> om: Does "fuser /dev/hdd" (as root) show anything?
[08:13] <bobgill1> pike_: awesome it's exactly what I was lookin' for, thanks :)
[08:13] <om> Wyzard : when i try to eject i get "An application is preventing the volume from being ejected."
[08:14] <om> Wyzard : yeah says 5817
[08:14] <om> top
[08:14] <LuiCal> fusermount: mount failed: Device or resource busy
[08:14] <LuiCal> FUSE mount point creation failed
[08:14] <LuiCal> Unmounting /dev/hdb1 ()
[08:14] <bruenig> om, close your file browser if you have it open
[08:14] <verb3k_> icetox,  press "alt+F2" and then write in the box "gnome-panel" .....sorry but my internet was disconnected
[08:14] <Wyzard> om: ps -ef | grep 5817
[08:14] <LuiCal> what can i do?
[08:14] <just22> Markon: i need u .. once again
[08:15] <om> Wyzard : says "cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hdd
[08:15] <pike__> LuiCal: sudo umount -l /dev/hdb1  and try it again i guess
[08:15] <henryb> hey :P how do i give all access to read write to a specific folder and subfolders
[08:15] <pike__> LuiCal: im assuming that is the ntfs partition :)
[08:15] <bruenig> killall cdrecord
[08:15] <bruenig> !permissions | henryb
[08:15] <ubotu> henryb: 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
[08:15] <LuiCal> yep
[08:15] <Wyzard> om: That process is what's blocking wodim from using the drive...  looks like something else is already trying to burn
[08:16] <IceTox> oh verb3k_.. it fixed itself with a restart.. Guess it's like you said there.. the gnome-panel just had a flip out =) Again, thanks for support =)
[08:16] <pike__> henryb: the easy way is to just add the writable bit with a +w  like for a folder and all subfolders sudo chmod -R +x directory/
[08:16] <verb3k_> IceTox,  my pleasure :)
[08:16] <henryb> thanks pike
[08:16] <bruenig> you don't want to chmod +x it
[08:16] <_Codeman_> w00t! I got UT to work!
[08:16] <LuiCal> yep, it worked
[08:16] <LuiCal> thanks alot
[08:16] <LuiCal> wooohooo
[08:16] <Zasch> Hello
[08:16] <Wyzard> om: btw, on an unrelated note, I'd suggest using -dao when burning
[08:17] <LuiCal> thanks
[08:17] <pike__> henryb: dont do that from a system  / directory! :)
[08:17] <pike__> LuiCal: np
[08:17] <om> Wyzard : maybe if i restart in safe mode and try to burn from terminal? it's an .iso image so i'm not sure how to do that
[08:17] <Zasch> How do I get Ubuntu to support the Russian language?
[08:17] <bruenig> henryb, don't do the chmod +x command that was wrong
[08:17] <henryb> pike_, its for lampp
[08:17] <henryb> htdocs folder
[08:17] <stefg> !ru
[08:17] <ubotu>    #ubuntu-ru       /  Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke
[08:17] <pike__> henryb: ah, ignore me then
[08:17] <henryb> hehe
[08:17] <dnl> Is anyone familiar with the gnome network manager interface?  I keep getting it stuck in 'manual' mode where it won't permit viewing of the network status or setting up VPN's.
[08:18] <Zasch> I do not need help in the Russian language, nor do I want Ubuntu's primary language to be Russian. However, when I try to play Russian songs or whatnot, the characters do not appear properly
[08:18] <bruenig> henryb, if you wanted to make a directory and all of its subdirectory rw, just chmod -R +rw /path/to/dir
[08:18] <enviouz> im having a serious problem with permissions. when i log on it says something about my home folder should be owned by me and not be writable by anyone else. so i use the browser and go change the permissions on the folder but that will not stick
[08:18] <bruenig> making everything executable is likely to be problematic though, so don't +x
[08:18] <Wyzard> om: Safe mode shouldn't be needed...  it looks like all that happened is that you tried burning the CD once and that got stuck, but it's still trying and blocking anything else from using the drive
[08:18] <henryb> bruenig, ok thanks
[08:18] <Wyzard> om: Just kill that cdrecord process and try again
[08:19] <pike__> enviouz: try a sudo chown -R $USER ~
[08:19] <bruenig> enviouz, don't open graphical apps with sudo
[08:19] <walrus> hi, i just want to know what cmd do i use to know the dependencies of certain binary ... thx
[08:19] <pike__> enviouz: or a sudo chown -R $USER:USER ~    might be best
[08:19] <pike__> enviouz: gah.. $USER:$USER i mean
[08:19] <om> Wyzard : i keep trying killall cdrecord, but it still shows up with ps -ef | grep 5817
[08:19] <stefg> Zasch: there's an applet in the system menu (language support) where you can define the languages which your install should define. This has not necessarily something to do with subtitling in movies or lyrics from songs
[08:19] <enviouz> ok ty.  ill try that
[08:19] <om> Wyzard : kill 5817 same thing
[08:20] <Wyzard> om: kill -KILL 5817
[08:20] <Zasch> stefg: I'll check that out. Rather, I have songs that contain information about the artist or whatever in Russian, and in Windows it displays properly, but in Ubuntu it is random characters.
[08:20] <foofooo> does anyone know how to get ACPI support for my Thinkpad T60 (2007-FUG) in Ubuntu Fiesty?
[08:20] <bruenig> walrus, that sort of functionality does not really exist, you can do ldd whatever to see what shared libraries it is linked to and then from there figure out which packages provide those libraries
[08:20] <Wyzard> om: And if that doesn't work, it could be hung in the driver, which would necessitate a reboot
[08:20] <DreamThief> hi guys. I need some help from a user who has experience in running dovecot + maildir format on ubuntu.
[08:20] <om> Wyzard : still there.... o_O
[08:21] <henryb> bruenig,  LOL it deleted all of the files
[08:21] <stefg> Zasch: that's probably due to utf-8 encoding in ubuntu... it's quite the same with german (windows-encoding) and proper utf-8 umlauts
[08:21] <om> Wyzard : i tried rebooting many times and it just gets stuck again i guess
[08:21] <walrus> bruenig: thx, but isnt ldd a linker ?? ... i just ask ..
[08:21] <Wyzard> om: I take it the status column in the "ps" output says 'D' ?
[08:21] <bruenig> walrus, man ldd
[08:21] <starz> mm
[08:22] <foofooo> Any suggestions to get better fonts in Fiesty?
[08:22] <bruenig> !info msttcorefonts | foofooo
[08:22] <starz> msttcorefonts ?
[08:22] <walrus> bruenig: i already did it, thx very mucho for your help
[08:22] <starz> :P
[08:22] <stefg> Zasch: but if you are fluent in russioan the guys in #ubuntu-ru probably have an answer
[08:22] <ubotu> foofooo: msttcorefonts: Installer for Microsoft TrueType core fonts. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.8ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 34 kB, installed size 208 kB
[08:22] <om> Wyzard : om        5817     1  0 13:56 ?        00:00:00 cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hdd
[08:22] <om> Wyzard : there's also: om        6617  6230  0 14:20 pts/0    00:00:00 grep 5817
[08:23] <Wyzard> om: oh, sorry, that doesn't show the status...  try "ps -ax | grep 5817"
[08:23] <rolfen> byebye
[08:23] <Wyzard> om: I'm betting you'll see a 'D' in the third column
[08:23] <om> Wyzard : i see "DL"
[08:24] <foofooo> ubotu: Google doesnt give me any proper install tutorials for msttcorefonts , can you recommend one?
[08:24] <bruenig> foofooo, I recommend sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[08:24] <Anlar> foofooo: Applications -> Add/Remove, ..
[08:24] <Sayers> How do I allow acess to my video card on other users?
[08:24] <Wyzard> om: The 'D' means "uninterruptible sleep" -- basically, it's waiting for a response from the drive that never came
[08:24] <stefg> foofooo: one line tutorial. 'sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts'
[08:24] <Wyzard> om: AFAIK, the only way to kill that is to reboot
[08:25] <foofooo> bruenig: thanks.
[08:25] <om> Wyzard : oh.. i know that when i reboot and try to burn again, the same thing will happen
[08:25] <starz> hey anyone good at hacking up an install cd?
[08:25] <starz> i need one that goes normally to the partition manager then moves directly on to grub doing the full detect
[08:25] <matthew1429> !requirements
[08:25] <Wyzard> om: but the output from the next attempt will tell you more about the real problem that's causing it to get stuck
[08:25] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about requirements - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:25] <starz> 0 package installation needed
[08:25] <mac_55> could someone help me with my wpa_supplicant problems? I'm getting a 'scan timeout - try to get results' when it looks for my ssid
[08:25] <matthew1429> what are the minimum requirements in ram for ubuntu/
[08:25] <om> Wyzard : ok.. restarting, brb
[08:25] <Wyzard> om: rather than the "device or resource busy" that results from the attempt that got stuck
[08:25] <matthew1429> the live cd is taking FOREVER
[08:26] <starz> matthew1429, how much ram do you have?
[08:26] <om> Wyzard : thanks a lot for your help!! brb
[08:26] <matthew1429> 256
[08:26] <Kjellviz> are there any launcher in gnome like klauncher in kde ?
[08:26] <starz> that should work ok..
[08:26] <Kjellviz> and if so whats the shortcut ?
[08:26] <matthew1429> maybe it's the cd-rom
[08:26] <starz> look in your log see if its having cdrom access issues
[08:26] <matthew1429> im d/l the alternate cd now
[08:26] <starz> if so yeah
[08:26] <stefg> matthew1429: no wonder... the bare minimum. consider the alternat installer
[08:26] <enviouz> sudo chown -R sue:sue /home/sue <--- is this how i was supposed to do it to make myself (sue) the only with access?
[08:26] <GWhite> does anyone know of a way to fix my login screen so that I do not need to auto adjust my monitor each time
[08:26] <starz> wierd thing if you see that the alternate almost always installs without a hitch in all systems ive tried to date except one
[08:27] <matthew1429> stefg: im a step ahead of you, but i wish it wasn't d/l at 40k :(
[08:27] <starz> which ended up working eventually
[08:27] <starz> matthew1429, lol
[08:27] <starz> right click on the link and save it
[08:27] <starz> sudo apt-get install axel
[08:27] <starz> axel link.to.iso
[08:27] <DreamThief> how to change the default mail storage location and format in ubuntu?
[08:27] <stefg> !mirrors | matthew1429
[08:27] <ubotu> matthew1429: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[08:27] <starz> or use a dl manager that uses multithreads in whatever os you do have in
[08:28] <enviouz> user, group and others still have read and write access
[08:28] <mac_55> so there's no wpa_supplicant experts here? :(
[08:28] <stefg> matthew1429: and as a personal opinion... use xubuntu. My oldish laptop (800Mhz/256 MB) runs quite fast on it, while gnome crawls
[08:29] <ompaul> mac_55, sudo apt-get install madwifi-tools iirc
[08:29] <Wyzard> mac_55: Why not use NetworkManager rather than wpasupplicant directly?
[08:29] <ompaul> mac_55, apt-cache search wpa
[08:29] <foofooo> Has anyone got theme improvements for FIESTY, simmilar to this Ubuntu Dapper - GUI improvements -http://www.taimila.com/orange-look.php ?
[08:29] <pike__> for the life of me i dont understand why debian/ubuntu makes kernel compile steps so odd compared to say slackware
[08:29] <GWhite> can someone tell me how I can set the gdm login screen and my desktop screen so that I do not need to adjust my monitors screen position each time
[08:30] <variant> enviouz: no
[08:30] <mac_55> I'm actually running a different flavour of linux...and I can't get on the ethernet to install other apps
[08:30] <matthew1429> stefg: should a 2.4 gig processor need xubuntu or is it more the 256 that pushes you that way?
[08:30] <variant> enviouz: if you want to deny read access to anyone else then that is no the way to do it
[08:30] <mac_55> just wondered if anyone cold help debugging
[08:30] <om> Wyzard : it gets stuck on "preparing to write" without outputting anything to terminal... maybe some logfile?
[08:30] <Wyzard> pike_: You can build a kernel "manually" if you want, using just the kernel's own makefiles...  the make-kpkg thing is a frontend to the build process, which gives you a package rather than just a bunch of files
[08:31] <Wyzard> om: no, I don't think it logs anything to a file by default, but try the "-v" option
[08:31] <variant> matthew1429: xfce is not *for* old systems. it just happens to work better on them than gnome
[08:31] <stefg> matthew1429: it's the ram.... not much left for buffers and cache. CPU is fine, add another 256 MB and you'll have new box
[08:31] <variant> matthew1429: use xfce on whatever system you like, be it super fast or super slow. use it if you like it
[08:31] <ponicg> Will I run into any trouble upgrading Edgy to Feisty?
[08:32] <ponicg> or rather, is it possible to?
[08:32] <Falkmana> I've got a problen, when I'm installing ubuntu using the text installer I get an error at 6% installing, saying [!!]  Configuring Installation step failed,An installation step failed.  You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, r skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Select and install Software
[08:32] <enviouz> well my problem is when i log in i get a warning that i should be the only one with read write access to my home folder. so i go to computer home and try to change permissions on my home folder (sue) but the permissions wont stick. they always go back to myself my group and others all having read/write access
[08:32] <om> Wyzard : do you know the entire terminal command to run?
[08:32] <Wyzard> om: The same terminal command you were already using, plus "-v"
[08:33] <centaur5> Feisty on my Acer says the Atheros card is an unknown device and when I try to use ndiswrapper it says that there isn't any hardware for the driver. What can I do?
[08:33] <om> i was using brasero, and it doesn't have -v option
[08:33] <om> wyzard ^
[08:33] <pike__> centaur5: my atheros card only required me to sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[08:33] <Falkmana> Can anyone help me?
[08:34] <centaur5> pike__: The restricted-manager already tells me the Atheros HAL driver is being used.
[08:34] <Wyzard> om: oh, I see
[08:34] <om> Wyzard - oh it has -d for debug... but i have to restart because drive is locked again...
[08:34] <Wyzard> om: Try just "wodim -v foo.iso" and see what that gets you
[08:35] <badis> ct
[08:35] <enviouz> group and others should have no access to my home folder correct?
[08:35] <om> Wyzard : ok says device is busy.. gonna restart again
[08:37] <bruenig> enviouz, generally they just don't have write privileges
[08:37] <enviouz> ok ty.
[08:38] <Gast770> www.poker-jack.6x.to

[08:38] <bruenig> Gast770, leave
[08:38] <robin__> can anyone help me with my nvidia drivers? i installed the driver from nvidia.com and the acceleration works perfect, but every time i rebbot xorg.conf will not launch untill i nistall the drivers again
[08:38] <bruenig> !ati | robin__
[08:38] <ubotu> robin__: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:39] <enviouz> is it supposed to be like that though or is that a bug?
[08:39] <waudette> where can i find drivers Umbutu 7x v386 for my ASUS M2A-VM Motherboard? I also need drivers for my ati 1950gt video card.
[08:39] <om> Wyzard : this is the output: http://rafb.net/p/JyrzAU11.html
[08:39] <waudette> bruenig: That was convienent.  Looking up the ATI stuff now.
[08:39] <om> Wyzard : doesn't do anything after that
[08:40] <Kjellviz> are there any launcher in gnome like klauncher in kde ?
[08:40] <Kjellviz> and if so whats the shortcut ?
[08:40] <enviouz> waudette:  the ati closed drivers in the repos are bugged
[08:40] <bruenig> Asus has its own acpi module, I might try modprobing that
[08:40] <enviouz> i can give you a link to the new ones if you like
[08:40] <madmetal_> hey :) anyone knows how can i disable desktop effects from recovery mode? :)
[08:40] <waudette> enviouz: OK.  So I should skip those.
[08:41] <enviouz> i use the updated ones but they wont get put in the repos
[08:41] <Kitano> how can i use beryl with my Ati Radeo X1600? is there someone who can help me?
[08:41] <enviouz> just a sec ill get a link
[08:41] <waudette> enviouz: Please.  I am new to umbutu and debian but I'll work through it.
[08:41] <bruenig> madmetal_, change whatever is launching them, for me I launch them from ~/.xinitrc, so I would just comment out that command
[08:41] <Wyzard> om: hmm...  I don't see anything there that looks like an error
[08:41] <Jordan_U> Kitano, Does it require fglrx for 3D?
[08:41] <om> Wyzard : yeah.. just gets stuck
[08:41] <Wyzard> om: dunno about that, sorry
[08:41] <Wyzard> om: Try with a different drive -- maybe yours is broken or something

[08:50] <foofooo> Could somebody please help me to install this http://www.nabble.com/2.9-linux-PHC-patch-for-ubuntu-7.04-feisty,-kernel-2.6.20-t3625907.html ?
[08:50] <bigglouie2007>  Kitano: google xgl session and beryl and follow those directions, then there is part of the beryl package that is missing in the newest version. you need to download version beryl 0.2.0, find beryl-xgl (the missing part) and paste it into /usr/lib should be good to go after that
[08:51] <foofooo> /server -m irc.homelien.no
[08:51] <bruenig> foofooo, you are going to need to get the kernel source, apply the patch and then recompile
[08:51] <bruenig> very long and involved
[08:51] <ariel> #ubuntu-es
[08:51] <foofooo> bruenig: can i msg you?
[08:51] <bruenig> I don't have the time to help on this, might literally take an hour or so
[08:52] <foofooo> oh, for real?
[08:52] <Falkmana>  I've got a problen, when I'm installing ubuntu using the text installer I get an error at 6% installing, saying [!!]  Configuring Installation step failed,An installation step failed.  You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, r skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Select and install Software
[08:52] <bruenig> compiling the kernel is a very long process
[08:52] <foofooo> bruenig: look what this geezer said, http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-2.9-linux-PHC-patch-for-ubuntu-7.04-feisty%2C-kernel-2.6.20-p10128163.html
[08:53] <bruenig> foofooo, oh just recompile the module, ha I am retarded
[08:54] <bruenig> foofooo, the tar.gz link is already compiled just get that
[08:54] <Hausberg> I noticed earlier that nautilus played mp3 files when I just held mouse cursor on the file - it does not seem to do it anymore and I wonder if I switched it off somewhere accidently...
[08:54] <foofooo> bruenig: :) i've just grabbed that. but how to install? i've extracted it.
[08:54] <Falkmana> Does anyone know why I can only burn ubuntu to a DVD? Because if I burn it to a CD I get an error when I do the integrity check.
[08:55] <Dominicus> Is sharing an Ubuntu-box printer with a WinXP pc a huge security risk?
[08:55] <Dominicus> Falkmana, could it be faulty CD-R media?
[08:55] <txmail> Falkmana: I would make sure you are burining it at the right speed, check and see what speed the CD supports.
[08:55] <Falkmana> Dominicus, I have tried buring it over 20 times and the only ones that work are DVD's
[08:55] <LuiCal> hello everybody
[08:55] <txmail> Falkmana: I have had that problem before.
[08:56] <Hausberg> Falkmana I have had also some problems like that
[08:56] <Falkmana> How did You solve it?
[08:56] <Hausberg> I burned it on different cd and it worked
[08:56] <Dominicus> Falkmana, for example, I bought brande new cd-rw media and it's all crap
[08:56] <txmail> Falkmana: CD was only 8x, burner was 32x, turned down the burn speed in the software.
[08:56] <Dominicus> Falkmana, just try a different brand and like txmail said, lower the burning speed
[08:56] <Falkmana> My cd is 16x and im buring it at 4x
[08:56] <bruenig> foofooo, move the speedstep-centrino.ko file to /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/
[08:57] <LuiCal> im having problems with beryl, i have an nvidia gforce 4 mx, when i activate beryl my windows dont have borders, can someone help me please?
[08:57] <txmail> Falkmana: ouch, sounds like bad CD's.

[08:57] <Gwflodocus> i've got balls of steeeeeel
[08:57] <Dominicus> Is sharing an Ubuntu-box printer with a WinXP pc a huge security risk? (it warns me about having to keep port xyz open forever)
[08:57] <LuiCal> thanks
[08:57] <Falkmana> Txmail, what brand do you request?
[08:57] <txmail> Dominicus: Anything is a security risk if it is not implimented properly.
[08:57] <Falkmana> I use memorx
[08:58] <Dominicus> Falkmana, I bought a package of 5 cd-rw's from target and they're all crap!
[08:58] <txmail> Falkmana: Honestly, I just get the cheapest things I can find, but you do get duds. It just happens. Memorex has never done me wrong though.
[08:58] <Dominicus> Falkmana, and they were Memorex
[08:58] <Falkmana> Rofl, dominicus, did u get the 5 pack of CD-RW's that come in cases? cause thats what i have
[08:59] <txmail> Falkmana: See, it is really just luck of the draw! Even Memorex has flakes :)
[08:59] <Dominicus> lol yeah falkmana, the cases are blue. CD-RW, right?
[08:59] <foofooo> bruenig: thanks. is that the only thing i have to do?
[08:59] <txmail> Dominicus: Oh great, I have a 20 pack of memorex in cases... recieved as a gift... but have burned one of the CD's ok..

[09:00] <bruenig> foofooo, sudo on both
[09:00] <super-6-1> ok
[09:00] <traveler_> hello all
[09:00] <Dominicus> txmail, what's the most secure and reasonable way to set up so I could print from my XP pc to a printer connected to an Ubuntu 7.04 pc?
[09:01] <Falkmana> Neone have ne good luck with maxwell's?
[09:01] <Mark17> when i install kubuntu (7.04) i get the message that i have to login (before i give a username/pass), what is the standaard username/pass?
[09:01] <Falkmana> maxells**
[09:01] <txmail> Dominicus: Its been a while, but your choices are samba or samba... :) Are you in a home or office enviroment?
[09:01] <traveler_> is there an easy way to install rpm files?
[09:01] <Mark17> Dominicus: you could look to the ip the print request did come from
[09:01] <Dominicus> txmail, i already have samba file-sharing set up
[09:02] <primski> how can have i my rotating cube in compiz used as my desktop switcher? every side of cube has 4 desktops.  when i rotate it i want it to switch to another desktop. is this possible ?
[09:02] <bruenig> primski, #ubuntu-effects
[09:02] <Dominicus> txmail, im in a home environment
[09:03] <Falkmana> Neone have good luck with Maxell CD-R's?
[09:03] <primski> ok thanks bruenig
[09:04] <Mark17> when i install kubuntu (7.04) i get the message that i have to login (before i give a username/pass), what is the standaard username/pass?
[09:04] <Wyzard> Falkmana: I haven't used their CD-Rs, but their DVD+Rs and DVD-RWs work fine
[09:04] <foofooo> bruenig: ERROR: Module speedstep_centrino does not exist in /proc/modules
[09:04] <bruenig> foofooo, dash not underscore
[09:05] <makaira> Hello all.
[09:05] <Anlar> it's acpi_cpufreq nowadays afaik that you should use
[09:05] <Falkmana> Wyzard, Ok thanks
[09:05] <foofooo> @hackmeister:~$ sudo rmmod speedstep-centrino
[09:05] <foofooo> ERROR: Module speedstep_centrino does not exist in /proc/modules
[09:05] <Wyzard> bruenig: modutils covers up the difference between dash and underscore in module names...  they're basically interchangeable
[09:05] <Wyzard> foofooo: Use acpi-cpufreq...  speedstep-centrino doesn't exist anymore
[09:06] <bruenig> it does exist, maybe not in ubuntu but it does exist
[09:06] <EADG> A Fire Fox extension is asking me the path to flash to play swf files, where would I find it??
[09:06] <foofooo> bruenig: oh yes? how to install? :)
[09:06] <baldie> I have a lot of music in a lot of folders on a usb stick.. how do I make a list of the files so i save it in a text document?
[09:07] <primski> whats the keyb shortcut to sqitch desktop ?
[09:07] <primski> switch*
[09:07] <bruenig> foofooo, just follow Wyzard I am not on ubuntu so I can't be sure of their customs and whatnot
[09:08] <Wyzard> bruenig: I'm not on Ubuntu either, actually  :-)
[09:08] <baldie> primski: you can set it yourself... system --> preferences --> keyboard shortcuts
[09:08] <Wyzard> but when I upgraded Debian from 2.6.18 to 2.6.21, speedstep-centrino went away because acpi-cpufreq replaced it
[09:08] <Wyzard> so that change happened in either 2.6.19, 2.6.20, or 2.6.21
[09:09] <Wyzard> If you don't have speedstep-centrino in Ubuntu's 2.6.20, that's the most likely reason as far as I can see
[09:09] <foofooo> :D
[09:09] <bruenig> it is still in my 2.6.21 kernel
[09:09] <bruenig> on ARCH
[09:10] <makaira> Problem: As I type anything in ubuntu, anywhere, windows start opening and closing at random, text is copied and pasted at random, things are highlighted at random, and typing this sentence has taken me longer than a few paragraphs normally would take.
[09:10] <foofooo> thanks guys. i gotta go.
[09:10] <foofooo> take care
[09:10] <makaira> I'm using Feisty Fawn on a MacbookPro.
[09:10] <cupps> Anyone have a clue why Evolution isn't sending (it moves my e-mail to the Outbox and then Sent, but never sends).
[09:10] <tonat> Does anyone know much about writing shell scripts? I've got apt-get running a command fine from a terminal, but failing from within a shell script
[09:11] <Wyzard> makaira: Could be that one of your modifier keys (Ctrl or whatever) is stuck, so you're accidentally pressing key combinations you didn't intend to press
[09:11] <Wyzard> makaira: Tap all your Shift/Ctrl/Command/etc. keys once each -- usually that'll unstick a stuck key
[09:11] <Dominicus> Help: I've enable printer sharing from within my Ubuntu PC but am not sure whether I should also change the 'printer type' setting from 'local or detected' to 'network printer'
[09:11] <tonat> http://pastebin.com/939633 This script runs and installs the first two apt-get command correctly, but then gives "Package not found" for the ffmpeg one. If I copy and paste that exact line into a terminal, though, it runs just fine and finds the package
[09:12] <makaira> Thanks Wyzard. I'll try that and see if it helps.
[09:12] <Winball> N/1100 :)
[09:13] <makaira> In the mean time, as somewhat of a test, I have a second problem that needs solving. I'm attempting to install xsupplicant because I need PEAP for university wireless, but I keep getting an error at the end of the ./config
[09:13] <yapyccky_> guys who can help me please? im getting crazy trying to understend what is LZM2DIR...
[09:13] <yapyccky_> i dont find any information..i've a .lzm file but i dunno how to install it!
[09:14] <makaira> Ignore that for now, I think I may know what's going on with the typing. For some reason if I randomly touch my touch pad it works either to double-click or to highlight...
[09:14] <makaira> Now... fixing it is another issue alltogether.
[09:14] <dr_zhivago> i've got balls of steeeeeel
[09:14] <baldie> primski: you can set it yourself... system --> preferences --> keyboard shortcuts
[09:14] <yapyccky_> im follwing a howto for packet injection on IPW3945..they say to use this lzm2dir ..but i dunno what is it!

[09:14] <baldie> I have a lot of music in a lot of folders on a usb stick.. how do I make a list of the files so i save it in a text document?
[09:15] <Dominicus> baldie, I know how to do this really quickly on an XP pc
[09:15] <baldie> uhm... I can boot my other pc :o
[09:15] <primski> baldie, yea thanks, the problem i had .... somehow all my panels disapeared, im playing with compiz, couldnt switch desktop, got it back now :)
[09:15] <baldie> cool primski
[09:16] <baldie> Dominicus:  tell me how.. I'm booting my xp laptop now :o
[09:16] <Dominicus> baldie, if you boot into an XP pc, enter this in command line or create a batch file:
[09:16] <Dominicus> for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir /b/a/s') do echo "%%i" >> list.txt
[09:16] <Dominicus> baldie, this will go through all the subdirectories as well, btw
[09:17] <Evolution2> i just reinstalled windows from my back up CD that i received from Dell but i have no drivers installed for speakers/internet/wifi/stand-by/hib. can someone help me i heard that they are on the cd you just have to find them
[09:17] <Kristo1> I want to reinstall ubuntu (too much crap installed), but only have a 6.06 cd lying around. What should I do, install it and upgrade to 7.04, or just download a clean 7.04 image and install that?
[09:17] <baldie> yea cool, that is what I need
[09:17] <Dominicus> Help: I've enable printer sharing from within my Ubuntu PC but am not sure whether I should also change the 'printer type' setting from 'local or detected' to 'network printer'

[09:17] <kha1i1> Dominicus, local if its plugged in the comp
[09:17] <kha1i1> network if its running thru vmware
[09:17] <kha1i1> or not plugged into the linux box directly.
[09:18] <baldie> uhm thanks for the inspiration Dominicus... I just did "ls -R1 >> list.txt" in ubuntu terminal, and it kind'a did the job :>
[09:18] <Dominicus> kha1i1, the Printer is connected to my Ubuntu-PC and I wanna be able to print to it form my XP pc
[09:18] <Mark17> what is the pass and username for the kubuntu live cd?
[09:18] <Falkmana> I burned a new cd, now time to check for errors dun dun dun...
[09:19] <zaggynl> I see this quite often in my /var/syslog: 'Jun 30 21:17:02 AMD3200L /USR/SBIN/CRON[7015] : (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)', what is it, and why is it there?
[09:19] <kha1i1> then you need to set it up from the xp machine to access the printer over the network.  how? not too sure.
[09:19] <Dominicus> baldie, I didn't create that script I gave you ;)
[09:19] <Chikubu> i did have an icon in top panel (system tray i guess) that was an update control...now its gone, does that mean i dont need any updates or did i somehow remove it from the panel?
[09:19] <kha1i1> still should be local under linux tho
[09:19] <baldie> well you helped me anyways :>
[09:19] <Dominicus> ;)
[09:19] <kha1i1> Chikubu, no updates
[09:19] <Dominicus> kha1i1, I have Samba file sharing enabled and also I can see the linux printer from my xp pc
[09:20] <Chikubu> ok
[09:20] <kha1i1> then whats the problem?
[09:20] <Dominicus> kha1i1, however.. I cannot complete the xp-setup part of it
[09:20] <kha1i1> Chikubu, systems>Administrations>UPdate manager to bring it up
[09:20] <cupps> When I send email in Evolution, it doesn't send to anyone. I can login into Gmail and see it (if I send an email to myself), but it doesn't download into Evolution... anyone know what's going on?
[09:20] <kha1i1> Dominicus, oh i see. im about to try that now. 1st samba tho.
[09:21] <Dominicus> kha1i1, hmm actually i don't think I see the printer, however I see the Ubuntu-pc though
[09:21] <kha1i1> cupps did u setup your servers properly
[09:21] <Sonderblade> is it safe to remove the files in /var/cache?
[09:21] <kha1i1> the printer works in linux though?
[09:21] <Dominicus> yeah
[09:21] <kha1i1> hmmm
[09:21] <Dominicus> kha1i1, after I told Ubuntu to share the printer, it told me that port 631 will be opened. do I also need to open this port on my xp PC?
[09:21] <kha1i1> i dont know man, srry.  hopefully u find out the answer so u can help me when im stuck
[09:22] <cupps> khalil: I've checked the settings twice, I'm pretty sure I did. If I email myself, I can go to gmail.com and check it... but it doesn't DL in Evolution.
[09:22] <kha1i1> Dominicus, doubt it.  but still, try turning off the xp firewall.
[09:22] <cupps> khalil: And sending an email to anyone else, it doesn't show up at all.
[09:22] <kha1i1> cupps, that doesnt make sense.  you can send from evo to your gmail but not to anybody else? and you cant receive mail at all?
[09:22] <makaira> After editing a file via the terminal, how do I save the edits before exiting?
[09:23] <kha1i1> fille and print sharing enabled on xp Dominicus ?
[09:24] <zaggynl> makaira, that would depend on the editor you use, if you happen to use nano, saving is done by CTRL+O
[09:24] <cupps> khalil: Can send from Evo to Gmail. Cannot send to anyone else. Cannot DL these emails I sent to myself. CAN DL every other received email.
[09:24] <ariel> #ubuntu-es

[09:25] <makaira> Thanks zaggynl. I'll restart and see if it takes effect.
[09:25] <bruenig> ibanex, :x works too
[09:25] <zaggynl> hope it works out for you makaira :)
[09:25] <Chikubu> what do i need to download to get mod support (s3m xm it far 669 ult)
[09:25] <ibanex> bruenig: didn't know that, thanks
[09:26] <Falkmana> Meh, i got 2 errors on this disk!
[09:26] <bruenig> ibanex, or ZZ apparently, but I always screw that up and end up hitting ctrl z and its is backgrounded and have to go through all of that nonsense
[09:26] <bruenig> s/its/it/
[09:26] <lexus_nexis> hi
[09:26] <cupps> And I can send FROM Gmail to myself and it'll show up in Evo.
[09:27] <Dominicus> bruenig, you're an Ubuntu pro, could you help me set up printer-sharing in Ubuntu (I have samba file-sharing already set-up)?
[09:27] <ibanex> bruenig: yea, i prefer the : commands
[09:27] <lexus_nexis> how can I change my local host name local host to something else
[09:27] <bruenig> lexus_nexis, /etc/profile maybe
[09:27] <lexus_nexis> also has anyone played around with fuse
[09:28] <lexus_nexis> I want to try it out but it seams to complicated
[09:28] <cupps> Should I use Login or PLAIN to autheticate when I send email in Evolution (for Gmail)?
[09:29] <makaira> It seems to have worked. One problem down, a few more to go. Next is a problem with xsupplicant. It keeps telling me that I'm missing iwlib.h
[09:29] <makaira> The problem can be seen here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=256812
[09:30] <waudette> enviouz: I am back.
[09:30] <enviouz> ok i have a few commands i want you to run from the terminal
[09:30] <enviouz> fglrxinfo
[09:30] <waudette> go ahead.
[09:31] <enviouz> just tell me if it says ati or mesa
[09:31] <strtok> hey, anyone know how to disable utf8 support on ubuntu's terminal?
[09:31] <Anlar> don't do it.
[09:31] <waudette> ati
[09:32] <enviouz> ok thats good. now  glxinfo|grepdirect
[09:32] <waudette> It reports 1950GT too.
[09:32] <waudette> yes
[09:32] <enviouz> direct rendering is on?
[09:32] <waudette> it responded yes.
[09:33] <makaira> At the end of the ./configure I get "configure: error: header file <iwlib.h> is required for Xsupplicant"
[09:33] <makaira> I tried sudo apt-get install libiw-dev and it still doesn't work.
[09:33] <jcapote> did they take out mysql 4.1 support for fiesty or something?
[09:33] <Anlar> makaira: xsupplicant is available from apt repositories anyways
[09:34] <waudette> enviouz: Restricted Drivers now lists a lucent Agrere Modem that is enabled but not in use.
[09:34] <gentle_> can you tell me how hylafax is converting tiff to pdf please?
[09:34] <jcapote> all i see is a transitional package that just installs mysql5
[09:34] <makaira> Anlar, I don't speak linux :)
[09:34] <Nutubuntu> My motherboard has an onboard Nvidia 6150. Would I benefit from the nvidia-glx-new drivers? Am running nv (in Feisty).
[09:34] <makaira> I just installed it yesterday night.
[09:34] <makaira> Care to elaborate?
[09:34] <enviouz> that would be a dial up modem. you dont use dial up do you?
[09:34] <Anlar> makaira: sudo apt-get install xsupplicant
[09:34] <waudette> enviouz: Nope.
[09:34] <enviouz> ok you can ignore that
[09:34] <waudette> enviouz: So just uncheck it right?  I don't even have one installed.
[09:35] <Chikubu> what sound system is Rhythmbox utilizing?  is it xine?  would MikMod give Rhytmbox tracker sound file support (mod s3m it xm ult far 669)?
[09:35] <enviouz> doesnt really matter i dont think
[09:35] <Dominicus> Is it better to share printers via CUPS or Samba?
[09:35] <waudette> enviouz:  np... anything else to do?
[09:35] <gentle_> how to convert tiff to pdf without loosing quality?
[09:36] <Chikubu> some older versions of windows dont support cups
[09:36] <amonkey> whats the equivlant of berylmanager for compizfusion?
[09:36] <Nutubuntu> gentle_,  have you looked at imagemagick?
[09:36] <enviouz> one last thing i like to do just check the preformance is go to system/preferences/screensaver. choose euphoria and click preview
[09:36] <magnetron> Dominicus: to be able to share the printer in samba, you need to get it working in cups first. so you will have to deal with cups either way.
[09:36] <andrew_> Trying to repartition a Thinkpad Z70t and the resizing of sda1 fails in both ubuntu and gparted...does anyone have experience with repartitioning to help?
[09:37] <extern> I'm experiencing slow playback on Movie Player, the video sometimes stutters a bit, while it plays perfectly on vlc media player
[09:37] <gentle_> I need a command tool, it's for developping purpose
[09:37] <waudette> enviouz: I notice that it isn't letting my bump up my resolution or refresh rate in Screen Resolution
[09:37] <enviouz> that im not too sure about as i never tried to change mine
[09:37] <magnetron> andrew_: you cannot resize a partition that is mounted. you need to do such operations from a livecd, like the ubuntu desktop cd or the gparted livecd
[09:38] <skeeel> hello, i stupidly erase the user table from mysql , i tried to remove and reinstall mysql but i still not able to login , how can i resolve that ?
[09:38] <andrew_> Right, that's what I'm doing.
[09:38] <enviouz> i mainly never changed mine though because my lcd is very cranky when i change it i usually have to go through hell to get my screen to work again
[09:38] <waudette> enviouz: Checked euphoria and they were just vectors.
[09:39] <enviouz> was the movement really smooth?
[09:39] <Dominicus> magnetron, should I then just stick with the CUPS method (though I heard it's not as safe..?)
[09:39] <magnetron> Dominicus: i did not say that.
[09:40] <andrew_> This machine seems to have two partitions already...a fat32 4GB and an NTFS 70 GB partition...IBM installs a system restore partition...does this have anything to do with why resizing fails?
[09:40] <magnetron> andrew_: read my msg?
[09:40] <Nutubuntu> Dominicus,  "safe"?
[09:40] <haggis> why does Fiesty only seem to support WEP and not WPA?
[09:40] <DavideF> hi, i have a small problem with apache on a server, i need apache to read syslog, anyway if i change the persission with chmod, the next time the file will be recreate it have the previous permision, how can i change forever the permission to /var/log/syslog ??
[09:40] <andrew_> Yes, I'm running off gparted livecd
[09:40] <waudette> enviouz: Yes it was smooth.
[09:41] <homanj> haggis: i got wpa2 support out of the box
[09:41] <TaJMoX> How do I make a program auto start in XFCE ?
[09:41] <Dominicus> Nutubuntu, I just would like to set my printer-sharing in a more secure way if possible, whatever way that is
[09:41] <magnetron> haggis: Feisty support WPA and WEP, it's easy to configure it with network manager apple (upper right corner)
[09:41] <magnetron> *applet
[09:41] <enviouz> ok then your card should perform rather well. i just use it myself because i know it puts alotof stress on the card and gives a good estimnate of performance
[09:42] <Nutubuntu> gentle_,  I don't understand what you want, but *if* you are looking for a graphics format conversion tool with a command-line interface, and have not yet looked at imagemagick, perhaps you should look at it.
[09:42] <waudette> enviouz: There was a problem though.  The images were hallow.
[09:42] <waudette> enviouz: Meaning they were not filled in but simply vectors.
[09:42] <enviouz> that one is supposed to be like that
[09:42] <Nutubuntu> Dominicus, I'm not expert at all, so I am curious what security threat to printing might be?
[09:42] <haggis> magnetron, i've been there, only WEP is listed under password type
[09:42] <younghacker> how do i mount an external USB floppy drive?
[09:42] <DreamThief> Dominicus: why secure? if you are in your own LAN behind a firewall / NAT router where should be the problem if you print directly on cups via ipp?
[09:43] <DavideF> can someone help me with reading permissions ?
[09:43] <haggis> magnetron, wep hex and wep ascii
[09:43] <Dominicus> Dreamthief, that's why I'm a noob
[09:43] <Flannel> DavideF: What do you need help with?
[09:43] <jcapote> is there a way to get mysql 4.1 on fiesty without compiling it? i couldve sworn there was a repo package for it
[09:43] <waudette> enviouz: In the preview window before launching preview it shows them as filled smooth objects.
[09:43] <Jamesinator> haggis: What are you trying to do?
[09:43] <Chikubu> if i create a nfs share will windoz see it on the network?
[09:43] <DavideF> i need that apache can read the syslog
[09:43] <magnetron> haggis: does your card support wpa?
[09:43] <Dominicus> Dreamthief, so I can open almost as many ports as I like and my router's firewall keeps me safe?
[09:43] <DreamThief> Dominicus: yes, indeed.
[09:43] <haggis> Jamesinator, connect to my wireless network using WPA.
[09:44] <haggis> magnetron, according to the box it came in, yes
[09:44] <waudette> enviouz: Or maybe ice crystal type objects would describe them better.  They are not that in my preview full screen.
[09:44] <Jamesinator> Oh, WPA is a real screw up. Query me and I'll tell you how I got mine working. :\
[09:44] <UbuntuServerUser> can someone please help me I can't write files to my samba share!!! I even have security = share
[09:44] <DavideF> flannel, anyway if i change the permissions with chmod, the next time the file is recreate the permission are the same as before
[09:44] <magnetron> haggis: i needed to scan for the network name (as opposed to enter the ssid manually) to get the wpa options
[09:44] <younghacker> when i try to mount fd0 it tells me that it is not a valid block device....what does this mean?
[09:44] <enviouz> well when you click preview it changes. that screensaver actually changes every 20 secs or so
[09:45] <waudette> enviouz: I take that back... they go back and forth.
[09:45] <bodybybuddha>  /ns register trylockfree
[09:45] <waudette> So maybe my monitor isn't properly detected.  I'll work on that next.
[09:45] <JC_Denton_> How do you log off an XDMCP session?
[09:45] <Nutubuntu> younghacker,  could mean that your floppy is disabled in CMOS or that there is no floppy to mount (in the drive)
[09:45] <waudette> enviouz: Thank you very much for the support.  It was very educational.
[09:45] <neozonz> how do i setup services so they start up on boot?
[09:45] <magnetron> haggis: are you sure you're not in the network preferences? you will only get the wpa options in the network manager applet, not the network preferences
[09:46] <enviouz> np. always glad to help
[09:46] <younghacker> hmmm cool, so maybe i should check my VM and be sure floppy is enabled,,, brb
[09:46] <DreamThief> Dominicus: if someone from outside your LAN wants to access a specific port on one of your local pcs, you would have to set up a portforwarding rule which redicrects a tcp package sent to a specific port ond the routers wan interface to a port on one of your computers. without explicitly enabling this forwarding, noone could reach your computer from the outside world.
[09:46] <waudette> enviouz: :)
[09:46] <Jamesinator> He's probably using a wireless card based on the Ralink chipset, magnetron. Because of faulty WPA support on those cards the network manager doesn't even display the WPA option. You have to do a manual hack in /etc/network/interfaces to get it working.
[09:46] <Nutubuntu> My motherboard has an onboard Nvidia 6150. Would I benefit from the nvidia-glx-new drivers? Am running nv (in Feisty).
[09:47] <Dominicus> Dreamthief, I've just become paranoid. Thanks
[09:47] <DreamThief> Nutubuntu: no, you wouldnt.
[09:47] <Dominicus> Dreamthief, after enabling printer-sharing, my Ubuntu box told me that it will open port 631. Do I also need to open this port on my XP pc?
[09:47] <Flannel> DavideF: One solution would be to add www-data to the adm group.  But, I don't know what the adm group is.  And google isn'tbeing helpful
[09:47] <DreamThief> nvidia-glx will suit your needs just fine.
[09:47] <_nnx_> Question - every time I try to install Xubuntu on Ubuntu, it insists on de-installing a bunch of Gnome packages and installing a bunch of non-Gnome packages.  I have no problem with installing the non-Gnome packages, but how do I prevent the UN-installation?
[09:47] <magnetron> Jamesinator: that the first i asked him, if the card supported wpa. apparently not.
[09:47] <DreamThief> Dominicus: no, you dont need that.
[09:47] <txmail> crap
[09:48] <Nutubuntu> DreamThief,  t/y :) I'm a bit confused though. nvidia-glx <> nv ?
[09:48] <Flannel> _nnx_: What packages does it uninstall?  I can't think of any conflicts
[09:48] <silvertip257> I'm trying to build a Linux router, but I get this error right after POST.  I cannot seem to solve the conflict -> "Resource Conflict - PCI Network Controller on Motherboard ;; Bus:02, Device:06, Function:00 ;; Press <F1> to setup, <F2> to resume"
[09:48] <enviouz> well im off guys. laterz
[09:48] <_nnx_> Flannel: Gimme a few, I'll get a list.
[09:48] <jcapote> fiesty, mysql4, anyone?
[09:48] <JC_Denton_> How do you log off an XDMCP session?
[09:48] <magnetron> silvertip257: irq conflict?
[09:48] <neozonz> how do i setup services so they start up on boot?

[09:49] <cottima> I am reinstalling Windows for a teacher.  thinking of adding a partition to install an emergency use copy of ubunut 6.06.  What size do I need?  is 2 or 3 ok?
[09:49] <Jamesinator> Magnetron, you didn't read my entire message. It has FAULTY support for WPA. when I was researching fixes I found a post on the Ubuntu Forums by a Ubuntu dev stating that the WPA option wasn't displayed because there was a problem with the support of WPA on Ralink chipset cards. Like I said, they work, but apparently not well enough to warrant a user-friendly WPA option yet.

[09:49] <silvertip257> magnetron:  that's my guess, but idk
[09:49] <JC_Denton_> no when I use the standard logoff the whole desktop freezes and i cant even return to a run level txmail
[09:49] <txmail> cottima: 2 should work, I installed to a 2gb microdirive before.
[09:50] <cottima> txmail thank you

[09:50] <neozonz> thank Flannel
[09:50] <txmail> JC_Denton_: Humm..
[09:50] <DreamThief> Nutubuntu: nvidia-glx is the standard proprietary nvidia binary drive for any card except new cards from the 8800 series. the glx-new supports the 8800 series card but dumps support for any card below geforce fx serie. the nv driver ist just a free driver for 2d aceleration of the nvidia cards. it does not include opengl support and twinviev and many other advanced features.
[09:51] <_nnx_> Flannel: Removal list - abiword-gnome, libaiksaurus-data, libaiksaurus0, libaiksaurusgtk0, libgdome2-cpp-smart0c2, libwpd-stream8c2
[09:51] <JC_Denton_> so I can logon but to logoff I need to force a reset
[09:51] <Nutubuntu> DreamThief,  t/y * 1000 :)
[09:51] <txmail> JC_Denton_: Isnt XD... just a display manager?
[09:51] <magnetron> silvertip257: cat /proc/interrupts will tell you the IRQ lineup. you could paste to a pastebin if you want us to look at it
[09:51] <_nnx_> Flannel: It looks like some of these are being replaced with updated versions on the install list.
[09:51] <ardya> hi folks
[09:51] <JC_Denton_> it is to remotely logon to a machine - like a graphical telnet txmail
[09:52] <silvertip257> magnetron:  I will take a look, I know my IRQs, and that box isn't connected to the net
[09:52] <DreamThief> Nutubuntu: my pleasure! ;)
[09:52] <silvertip257> b/c of the pci nic card (I think it's causing the conflict)
[09:52] <PleegWat> If an application complains about a missing shared lib, how do I find out what package I need to install?
[09:52] <txmail> JC_Denton_: I think I had that problem with that live distoro that is for thin clients (2x?), I tried to use it to l ogin to my ubuntu machine, which worked after some playing arou nd, but couldnt get off.
[09:52] <magnastik_> hi
[09:52] <PleegWat> in this case, "libgtkpeer.so" by a java program
[09:52] <iphv37> hi ppl!!
[09:52] <Buni> hi
[09:52] <ali1234> DreamThief: what about nvidia-legacy? were they renamed or something?
[09:52] <magnastik_> i'm trying to install asus wl-157g wireless driver in feisty
[09:53] <JC_Denton_> that's right - I cannot log off a XDMCP session. Not a clue
[09:53] <_nnx_> Flannel: If I install the system-tools package, it also wants to remove - fast-user-switch-applet, gnome-desktop-environment, gnome-fifth-toe, gnome-system-tools, ubuntu-desktop
[09:53] <PurpZeY> PleegWat: Is there a libgtk package or a deb package?
[09:53] <PurpZeY> dev*
[09:53] <Flannel> _nnx_: I don't see why it'd be conflicting.  You've got ubuntu-desktop, and now you're installing xubuntu-desktop?
[09:53] <Buni> can someone help me with my menubar
[09:53] <magnastik_> i found a guide but is for dapper
[09:53] <_nnx_> Flannel: Yes.  At least, I think I've got ubuntu-desktop - I've got the default for that.
[09:53] <txmail> JC_Denton_: Has it ever worked right?
[09:53] <ardya> I've somehow stuffed grub, at boot I see a really quick message scroll by, then I'm dumped to the grub> prompt. No grub commands are recognized. Where to turn to next?
[09:53] <magnastik_> any help available?
[09:53] <PleegWat> Well, I've got the libgtk2.0-0 package, and some packages with related names
[09:53] <PleegWat> but there's quite a lot of libgtk packages
[09:54] <JC_Denton_> txmail - no
[09:54] <pi3> hikenboot, hardinfo has a bug: it core dumps when running a PCI report
[09:54] <napkin> anyone know of vmware server networking problems between host and guest?  running feisty.  tcp connections always hang.
[09:54] <Flannel> _nnx_: this is feisty? there is no system-tools package
[09:54] <magnastik_> i was trying to follow the dapper guide but when it asks me for ythe tofrodos package i didnt find in package library
[09:54] <bjv> what is the best way to get a list of last-made changes to installed packages?
[09:54] <PleegWat> I'll try installing the dev package, and the 25 packages it depends on
[09:54] <_nnx_> Flannel: xubuntu-system-tools is in Synaptic, and this is Feisty.
[09:55] <Buni> i have a application icon who is large op the desktop, and when i place it on my menubar (who is big enough) it is shrunk to a small icon
[09:55] <magnetron> bjv: you could pull out the log in Synaptic
[09:55] <Nutubuntu> Hm ... Firefox just pagefaulted on me :/
[09:55] <_nnx_> Flannel: 2.18.0-0ubuntu1
[09:55] <bjv> magnetron: i did not make the changes with synaptic, however
[09:55] <bodybybuddha> napkin: how do you have the clients configured?  Bridge?
[09:56] <magnetron> bjv: i am not sure, but try it. it's the only option i know of
[09:56] <ardya> I've somehow stuffed grub, at boot I see a really quick message scroll by, then I'm dumped to the grub> prompt. No grub commands are recognized. Whats that indicate?
[09:56] <PleegWat> INstalling libgtk2.0-dev didn't work
[09:56] <Flannel> _nnx_: There's nothing that I can see that would cause xubuntu-system-tools and gnome-system-tools to conflict at all.  Very odd.
[09:56] <DreamThief> ali1234: the legacy is for any nvidia card below geforce3 series to nvidia riva tnt cards. I forgot to mention, that nvidia-glx supports geforce3 to geforce7 series and nothing below.
[09:57] <ali1234> DreamThief: k, im not going crazy then :)
[09:57] <napkin> bodybybuddha: yeah, bridge.  ping works, but ssh doesn't, for example.  smb browsing works, but reaching shares doesn't!
[09:57] <magnastik_> humm... no help on feisty wireless driver install/compiling
[09:57] <magnastik_> ???
[09:57] <_nnx_> Flannel: Indeed.  I got the impression that they were designed to work together.   I'm wondering if I should just try it and see what happens... I should note that I've upgraded this thing twice, first from dapper, then from edgy.
[09:57] <napkin> bodybybuddha: i have been using vmware bridged networking for years so i know my services aren't misconfigured.  something funny is going on.
[09:58] <magnetron> !compile | magnastik_
[09:58] <ubotu> magnastik_: 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!)
[09:58] <magnastik_> magnetron: i know
[09:58] <Flannel> _nnx_: you can always install ubuntu-desktop again afterwards.
[09:58] <Nutubuntu> Hm ... back in a bit ...
[09:58] <magnetron> just wanted to make sure, magnastik_
[09:59] <magnastik_> magnetron: and i was following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT73 -- but it's for dapper and i'm on feisty
[09:59] <bit> ola
[09:59] <bit> tem alguem ali
[09:59] <_nnx_> Flannel: Alright.  I think I'll give that a try.  I get the impression if it does anything particularly nasty I'll just swap them around.  And if it gets REALLY nasty I can pull out the desktop stuff and reinstall... thanks!
[09:59] <magnastik_> magnetron: and i cant find the package its asking...  tofrodos
[09:59] <bit> \join brasil
[10:00] <PleegWat> Google to the rescue, searching on the filename got me a package name (libgcj7-awt)
[10:00] <magnastik_> magnetron: $ dos2unix rt73sta.dat      # May require you to install 'tofrodos'; 'sudo apt-get install tofrodos'
[10:00] <doctormo> I have a serious problem with a computer I attempted to upgrade. it was half way through when some fool turned it off. now Xorg and apt-get are broken and unrecoverable.
[10:00] <m1r> i just installed ubuntu on gericom laptop and battery reported 7h 23 min ?!?! but that joy lasted only 1 min :/
[10:00] <PleegWat> app still doesn't work, but I'll take a closer look before bothering you on that further
[10:00] <txmail> JC_Denton_: Didnt search it too far, but here is a good how-to: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO.html
[10:00] <doctormo> does anyone have some things I could try to recover it?
[10:00] <magnetron> magnastik_: what did the restricted driver manager tell you before you started to fiddle with compiling?
[10:00] <CAL|SMeltn> ok. I have tried to install ubuntu 3 times now and it locks up on the loading screen
[10:00] <CAL|SMeltn> grrr
[10:00] <bodybybuddha> napkin:  I recently had similar problem - turn out to be duplicate ip addresses. on host and client.  guess it wouldn't something as simple as that?
[10:01] <m1r> CAL , livecd ?
[10:01] <magnastik_> magnetron: i'm newbie :S i'm not understanding what you are saying :D
[10:01] <Flannel> doctormo: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:01] <txmail> doctormo: ouch!
[10:01] <doctormo> Flannel:
[10:01] <doctormo> libxdmcp6: Depends: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0) but 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 is installed
[10:01] <doctormo>   xserver-xorg-core: Depends: x11-common (>= 1:7.0.0) but 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 is installed
[10:01] <magnastik_> magnetron: i followed the guide and i got no errors till i reached this step
[10:02] <doctormo> Flannel: your suggestion failed
[10:02] <napkin> bodybybuddha: no, they got different addresses from my dhcp server.  in fact both host and guest have no problem connecting with other machines on the lan/internet.  only problems between eachother.
[10:02] <Flannel> doctormo: what does your sources.list look like?  new version or old version?
[10:02] <magnastik_> magnetron: but now... in this step it asks for this packegae to use the dos2unix command
[10:02] <doctormo> Flannel: new, feisty list and everything
[10:02] <CAL|SMeltn> m1r: yah Livecd
[10:02] <doctormo> Flannel: E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[10:03] <doctormo> when I try a apt-get -f install
[10:03] <magnetron> magnastik_: that guide is not for feisty. in System > administration > restricted driver manager. that is a tool that will try to install the drivers for you. try that first.
[10:03] <m1r> cal , did u check cd for defects ?
[10:03] <CAL|SMeltn> m1r: yeah it found none
[10:03] <m1r> ok
[10:03] <bodybybuddha> napkin: any other protocols work?  maybe an ssh setup issue?
[10:03] <m1r> what type of PC ?
[10:03] <CAL|SMeltn> IBM thinkpad laptop R31 model
[10:04] <m1r> did u boot into livecd ?
[10:04] <riddlebox> is there any apps I can use to monitor my UPS and shutdown the pc if need be?
[10:04] <crolle17> which recording-tool would you advise to install onto ubuntu-system? i only need a little tool for recording.
[10:04] <crolle17> no audio-processing.
[10:04] <m1r> without errors ?
[10:04] <CAL|SMeltn> m1r: yes
[10:04] <crolle17> just click and record.

[10:04] <m1r> are u now on livecd ?
[10:04] <magnetron> crolle17: install it with add/remove applications
[10:05] <crolle17> bruenig, i don't need an audio-editor. just recording is enough.
[10:05] <CAL|SMeltn> m1r: no I am on my desktop. I will not boot into LiveCD Desktop
[10:05] <bruenig> crolle17, you click on the record button, record and then save
[10:05] <cwgannon> i'm following the tutorial here, and trying to enter the first command, but i'm getting "bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied"
[10:05] <crolle17> magnetron, ^^
[10:05] <CAL|SMeltn> it gets to the orange/brown screen then locks up
[10:05] <PurpZeY> cwgannon: sudo
[10:05] <napkin> bodybybuddha: doubt it. for example, i can ssh from my guest to another machine on the network, and then to the host.
[10:05] <crolle17> bruenig, yes that's enough.
[10:05] <magnetron> crolle17: it is a very simple tool, try it
[10:05] <napkin> bodybybuddha: they just have a problem with eachother.
[10:05] <m1r> cal , i c
[10:05] <Flannel> cwgannon: which tutorial?
[10:05] <bruenig> crolle17, right, that is it, it has a big red circle, just press it

[10:06] <crolle17> bruenig, alright. seems to be quite simple.... ;)
[10:06] <bodybybuddha> Anyone with any exp. with getting a usb-headset working in feisty?  device is recognized, but no joy in anything i do in the alsa-base.  any suggestions?
[10:06] <magnetron> JC_Denton_: "disconnect" in what sense? from ssh?
[10:07] <dfcarney> I have a USB drive (formatted with NTFS) that I'd like the system to automount using ntfs-3g, not ntfs.  How do I change me settings to do this?
[10:07] <Busata> I assume he means logging off?
[10:07] <CAL|SMeltn> neg
[10:07] <bodybybuddha> napkin: does any other protocol work between host and client - http, ftp, etc.?  or is it just ssh?
[10:07] <CAL|SMeltn> is there an alt cd?
[10:07] <JC_Denton_> magnetron end their session
[10:07] <m1r> CAL yes
[10:07] <Flannel> cwgannon: that first command should be: `echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio feisty main | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list`  The person who wrote that doesn't know what theyre doing
[10:07] <m1r> ubuntu alternate install
[10:07] <m1r> it go without llivecd
[10:07] <magnetron> JC_Denton_: what sort of session?
[10:07] <m1r> maybe u should try that
[10:08] <_nnx_> I upgraded to Feisty from my DVD.  Every time I insert it it mounts to /media/Ubuntu 7.04 i386 but Synaptic, when it's begging for a CD, wants it to be in /cdrom which links to /media/cdrom and in turn /media/cdrom0.  What do I do about this?
[10:08] <napkin> bodybybuddha: hm, will have to check.
[10:08] <m1r> my 256mb/500mhz had problems with install, with alternate , all went well
[10:08] <CAL|SMeltn> where can I find that at?
[10:08] <m1r> wait cal
[10:08] <JC_Denton_> megnetron I logged on a machine using XDMCP then switched back to my machine then tried to switch back to the XDMCP session and I can no longer return to it so I want to end it
[10:08] <omha> i just added a harddrive to my mashine and formatted it, how can i make it so it mounts on boot up and there comes a icon on my desktop?
[10:08] <CAL|SMeltn> m1r: ?
[10:08] <cwgannon> Flannel: thank you!
[10:09] <Flannel> cwgannon: and then the same change for the fourth command on that page.
[10:09] <PurpZeY> omha: I think you have to mount it via hal, but I have no idea how.
[10:09] <m1r> CAL , http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[10:09] <napkin> bodybybuddha: http hangs too.  ie, i connect to the host from the guest via http, and via tcpdump i can see the host sending back acks repeatedly but nothing happens.  yes http works fine from other hosts.
[10:09] <m1r> check the cube below for alternate cd
[10:09] <napkin> bodybybuddha: it's like the acks aren't getting to the guest
[10:09] <m1r> under START DOWNLOAD button
[10:10] <crolle17> magnetron, bruenig i installed it. what could be the reason for not recording? the cables and interfaces are correctly...

[10:10] <ramza3> is there a way to recover files
[10:10] <magnetron> crolle17: you could bring up the mixer for the soundcard by double clicking the speaker in the upper right corner

[10:12] <dfcarney> I have a USB drive (formatted with NTFS) that I'd like the system to automount using ntfs-3g, not ntfs.  How do I change me settings to do this?  Does anyone have any ideas?
[10:12] <CAL|SMeltn> Some things such as themes, sounds or background settings may not work correctly
[10:12] <m1r> yes :) i know
[10:12] <m1r> had same
[10:13] <CAL|SMeltn> ah
[10:13] <m1r> use alternate and try
[10:13] <CAL|SMeltn> so its our sucky ram huh
[10:13] <CAL|SMeltn> lol
[10:13] <CAL|SMeltn> ok downloading now. thanks again
[10:13] <crolle17> magnetron, there is a speaker and a microphone. but there is no mixer.
[10:13] <magnetron> JoeArizona: Cool. i am not sure, but this channel has quite some traffic. sounds like a nice ids
[10:13] <m1r> if that not work , try check for bios setting

[10:14] <m1r> CAL , dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , if it gets again after alternate install
[10:14] <magnetron> crolle17: the mixer is the window where you can control the speaker and the mic. look at the tab for recording.

[10:15] <sublimation> Power Mangagement question: I'm running feisty fawn even when I tell my power management not to turn the screen off, the screen still blanks when I play full screen movies
[10:15] <napkin> bodybybuddha: not that i know of.  i haven't touched my network settings, and this is a pretty fresh install of feisty.
[10:15] <crolle17> magnetron, yes i can raise the level of the speaker (up to 1.0). but that doesn't change anything
[10:16] <james296> nothing this is how it is even when I first install Feisty Fawn, the Sound Recorder doesnt allow me to record on it
[10:16] <napkin> bodybybuddha: it is a very new laptop though, so maybe it's a problem with the network driver.
[10:16] <PurpZeY> sublimation: It's a laptop?
[10:16] <crolle17> i took a look into the e/a-settings
[10:16] <magnetron> crolle17: there is a tab for playback and there is one for recording. do you see the one for recording?
[10:16] <bruenig> james296, oh I thought you were saying sound converter
[10:16] <bruenig> I have never used sound recorder
[10:16] <crolle17> magnetron, yes the one with the bif red button...
[10:16] <james296> no
[10:16] <james296> Sound Recorder
[10:16] <crolle17> recordfing-button
[10:17] <crolle17> recording
[10:17] <magnetron> crolle17: no, in the mixer window
[10:17] <riddlebox> does anyone know of any UPS software for ubuntu?
[10:17] <sublimation> PurpZeY: yup, an hp pavilion. I've managed to fix most other troubles with it so far, just more of an annoyance right now.
[10:17] <magnastik> magnetron: hi... the only device i get in restricted drivers is my ati graphic card
[10:17] <PurpZeY> sublimation: Have you installed proper acpis?
[10:17] <sublimation> PurpZeY: since i don't know what that is. no.
[10:17] <james296> so, any help on that problem?
[10:17] <PurpZeY> !acpi | sublimation
[10:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:17] <magnetron> crolle17: the Gnome mixer. do you know how to start it?
[10:17] <pushpop`> Are there any grub experts around in here?
[10:18] <crolle17> magnetron, no
[10:18] <magnastik> magnetron: but i noticed that ion the administration -> network i've two wireless devices(connections) wmaster0 and wlan0 but i can not connect
[10:18] <uberushaximus> !grub | pushpop`
[10:18] <ubotu> pushpop`: 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
[10:18] <uberushaximus> or try #grub
[10:18] <PurpZeY> sublimation: It's basically like the power management and some specific hardware/bios settings for your hardware...Make sure you aren't missing it, if it exists for your model, I know there is a sony_acpi and an acer_acpi...Check the forum
[10:18] <pushpop`> thx
[10:18] <crolle17> magnetron, i really can't find the mixer.
[10:18] <sublimation> !acpi
[10:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:18] <magnetron> crolle17: in the upper right corner of Ubuntu, there is a speaker icon. double click it
[10:19] <Evolution2> i just reinstalled windows from my back up CD that i received from Dell but i have no drivers installed for speakers/internet/wifi/stand-by/hib. can someone help me i heard that they are on the cd you just have to find them.
[10:19] <crolle17> magnetron, ahhhh
[10:19] <james296> ok guess no one has a solution then...
[10:19] <ramza3> with the filemanager, is there a way to always display the full path in spite of symlinks
[10:19] <magnetron> crolle17: see the recording tab?
[10:19] <crolle17> magnetron, that is just a loudness-level.
[10:20] <crolle17> magnetron, i made it to 74%#
[10:20] <crolle17> 74%
[10:20] <sublimation> PurpZeY: !acpi comes up with nothing, and the suggested website is also lacking in information about acpis
[10:20] <magnastik> magnetron: i'll restart
[10:20] <cwgannon> i've got a bunch of truetype fonts from my windows partition that i want to install in ubuntu: where do i put them?
[10:20] <makaira> I'm having troubles with xsupplicant. I keep running the command "xsupplicant -i ifname &" and it says it's initializing and everything, with the blinking cursor in the terminal, but nothing ever happens.
[10:20] <bodybybuddha> napkin:  sorry, new to ubuntu and vmware.  the only other thing I've heard about some other people doing is actually to setup a static route to the default router to get some of these host/clients issues resolved.
[10:20] <Nutubuntu> cwgannon,  are they just for yourself? if so, ~/.fonts will work
[10:20] <PurpZeY> sublimation: Just a sec...What model agan?
[10:20] <bodybybuddha> napkin:  buy YMMV
[10:20] <magnetron> crolle17: look in the edit > preferences of the mixer
[10:20] <bodybybuddha> napkin: but YMMV
[10:21] <makaira> I am replacing ifname with the wireless network that shows up after iwconfig. There are three, however, and I've tried all of them. None work.
[10:21] <magnetron> crolle17: enable all things that are for input
[10:21] <makaira> They all do the same thing.
[10:21] <sublimation> PurpZeY: HP Pavilion dv8000
[10:21] <crolle17> magnetron, ensoniq...
[10:21] <Chikubu> is there a way to search the applications available through apt-get install?
[10:21] <SlimeyPete> apt-cache search
[10:21] <crolle17> magnetron, ensoniq-audio-pci
[10:21] <magnetron> crolle17: just do it
[10:21] <james296> so is anyone going to help me or not?
[10:22] <magnetron> !patience | james296

[10:22] <Chikubu> does that search localy or on the server?  i want to search for app available for download but maybe not listed under add/remove
[10:22] <magnetron> crolle17: check all the relevant boxes in the edit > preferences in the mixer. did you do it?
[10:23] <LuiCal> hi everybody

[10:23] <ubotu> fatdigger: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[10:23] <PurpZeY> sublimation: Yeah, there must not be any necessary acpi to install...At any rate, I also don't know what would cause that.
[10:23] <silvertip257> fatdigger:  you'll need to get the driver like ntfs-3g & then edit your /etc/fstab file
[10:23] <locke> When installing ubuntu, the option to use continuous free space does what exactly?
[10:23] <crolle17> magnetron, yes i did

[10:26] <nihang> Hello
[10:26] <crolle17> or another mixer (i have alsa)
[10:26] <magnetron> silvertip257: it doesn't look like a irq collision, just one driver per irq
[10:26] <locke> When installing ubuntu, there is no option to choose new partition size the XP partition, and no free space, what to do?
[10:26] <magnetron> crolle17: maybe, i don't know

[10:27] <nihang> Can I install Ubuntu?
[10:27] <magnetron> silvertip257: but it's not an irq conflict, it's something else

[10:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about alternative - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:28] <magnetron> crolle17: you need to set it for ALSA
[10:28] <PurpZeY> LuiCal: Just emerald, not beryl?
[10:28] <nihang> How can I get an older version of Ubuntu?
[10:28] <LuiCal> i installed beryl and its working fine
[10:28] <omha> nihang, its and ubuntu install cd but it is text based so it dosent require much ram
[10:28] <magnetron> !alternate > omha (read pm from ubotu)
[10:28] <crolle17> magnetron, tried it buth then raise an error mesaage, when trying to record.
[10:28] <crolle17> but
[10:29] <twocarlo> hey i downloaded the themes how can i install it
[10:29] <nihang> Thanks omha
[10:29] <LuiCal> i installed emerald, but i dont know what to do?
[10:29] <twocarlo> .
[10:29] <PurpZeY> LuiCal: If beryl is working, emerald should be too...Just right click on beryl manager, and change the theme
[10:29] <omha> !alternate > nihang  (read pm from ubotu)
[10:29] <locke> LuiCal: do you have beryl-manager installed?
[10:29] <omha> :D
[10:29] <PurpZeY> LuiCal: Emerald is built into beryl as far as I know
[10:29] <nihang> Can I use beryl on Ubuntu iso?
[10:29] <magnetron> crolle17: are there several ALSA units to choose from in that list?
[10:29] <Jamesinator> How can I record and repeat mouse and keyboard events in ubuntu? Or is there a specific package that does this and will work on ubuntu?
[10:29] <PurpZeY> nihang: Off the liveCD?
[10:29] <nihang> yes
[10:29] <crolle17> yes
[10:30] <LuiCal> let me see
[10:30] <PurpZeY> nihang: *maybe* probably not, but not likely.
[10:30] <LuiCal> thanks
[10:30] <nihang> thanks
[10:30] <LuiCal> sorry, im a newbie
[10:30] <magnetron> crolle17: got any different results with the other ones?
[10:30] <makaira> I'm having trouble determining my wireless connection from the list provided by iwconfig.
[10:30] <PurpZeY> LuiCal: No worries, everyone is here to help.
[10:30] <crolle17> magnetron, i have to try it.
[10:30] <zabin>  Hey i just installed beryl but when i right click on the diamond icon and click on beryl it does not switch to the beryl theme.
[10:30] <LuiCal> thanks
[10:30] <PurpZeY> makaira: is iwconfig showing a connection?
[10:30] <locke> zabin: was it an emerald theme or beryl theme?
[10:30] <PurpZeY> zabin: You mean you hit, select window manager "beryl"
[10:31] <zabin> yes
[10:31] <zabin> locke: emerald theme
[10:31] <makaira> PurpZeY: One second, I may have just figured it out.
[10:31] <locke> zabin: do you have emerald-themes installed?
[10:31] <cwgannon> i'm in the gnome file browser, and i hit ctrl-F, then search for a file, but it doesn't find anything ... what's up with that?
[10:31] <zabin> locke: i did this sudo apt-get install beryl beryl-manager emerald-themes
[10:32] <PurpZeY> cwgannon: Make sure you are searching the whole file-system  or whichever...and remember, we are case sensitive
[10:32] <locke> there should be an emerald theme manager icon in the beryl right click menu
[10:32] <zabin> locke: there is.
[10:32] <gibsonman> anyone here
[10:32] <magnetron> what's up, crolle17? does the other ALSA units work in audacity?
[10:32] <stinger05> hi
[10:32] <crolle17> magnetron, i tried every of them, but the alsa-devices raise errors.
[10:32] <PurpZeY> gibsonman: nobody here but us chickens
[10:32] <magnetron> crolle17: what kind of errors?
[10:33] <makaira> PurpZeY: I've located my wireless connection, ath0. Now I'm having some issues with Xsupplicant. Are you able to assist me with this?
[10:33] <gibsonman> How do you listen to streaming audio with 7.04>
[10:33] <rambo3> gibsonman, xmms
[10:33] <Andeh> Hello. Is it possible to show your OWN display picture in a GAIM chat window?
[10:33] <gibsonman> whats that
[10:33] <zabin> locke: do you know what is wrong?
[10:33] <_nnx_> Does anyone know what the difference is, practically speaking, of the abiword and abiword-gnome packages?
[10:33] <crolle17> it only records with dsp. but then the recorded is nothing.
[10:33] <PurpZeY> makaira: I don't know much about that, if you give me more details or point me @ the tutorial you are reading I might be able to help
[10:33] <Andeh> And/or is there a plugin to do that?
[10:33] <locke> zabin: choose that and select the emerald theme you're looking for, if it doesn't load the theme then, right click the beryl icon and choose select window manager "beryl"
[10:33] <PurpZeY> Andeh: #pidgin
[10:33] <cwgannon> PrpZey: i've file type as "any" and location as "file system" and i'm searching for hosts, and getting no results
[10:33] <magnetron> _nnx_: abiword-gnome cooperates better with ubuntu
[10:33] <makaira> PurpZeY: Is it alright if I pm you the website url?
[10:33] <oldude67> how much memory do i need to run ubuntu?
[10:34] <_nnx_> magnetron: I see.  Anything in specific you can recall?
[10:34] <PurpZeY> makaira: if you prefer.
[10:34] <stinger05> why does ubuntu only detect 61 hertz of my display ?
[10:34] <Andeh> PurpZeY: oh, sorry. Thanks.
[10:34] <fatdigger> silvertip257: how do i edit my fstab, and what exactly should i edit it to do; btw it says the external is mounted BUT no files arfe appearing in it's mount point
[10:34] <crolle17> magnetron, it can't be that difficult, could it?
[10:34] <Jamesinator> How can I record and repeat mouse and keyboard events in ubuntu? Is there a specific package that does this and will work on ubuntu?
[10:34] <_nnx_> magnetron: And why does xubuntu-desktop seem to vomit on it?
[10:34] <zabin> locke: when i select windows manager and click on beryl, it doesnt switch to beryl
[10:34] <silvertip257> fatdigger:  if you don't have ntfs-3g, you may not be able to write or see what's on the drive
[10:34] <PurpZeY> zabin: Do you direct rendering installed or glx?
[10:35] <magnetron> crolle17: You still haven't told us what error you got with alsa
[10:35] <fatdigger> silvertip257: what is ntfs -3g
[10:35] <silvertip257> fatdigger:  you can edit your /etc/fstab file later when you can read what's on the disk
[10:35] <silvertip257> fatdigger:  it's a driver for ntfs support
[10:35] <zabin> PurpZey: i do when i do glxinfo | grep direct it returns direct rendering yes
[10:35] <cwgannon> is there a gaim plugin that will highlight a certain text each time it appears in a channel?
[10:36] <makaira> PupZeY: If you're still able to help, when I do the command "xsupplicant -i ath0 &" I get the message "http://www.slu.edu/x7032.xml" and then the line below is the blinking black box.
[10:36] <fatdigger> silvertip257: my other ntfs partition is readable/writable... only the external is giving me guff
[10:36] <makaira> It then seems to stall...
[10:36] <stinger05> why does ubuntu only detect 61 hertz of my LCD monitor ?
[10:36] <crolle17> magnetron, "error opening the audiodevice. please prove the settings and the frequency"
[10:36] <makaira> Sorry, that's not the message.
[10:36] <PurpZeY> makaira: I still don't know what tutorial you are looking at.
[10:36] <silvertip257> fatdigger:  wanna open up a private channel?
[10:36] <fatdigger> sho
[10:36] <fatdigger> fatdigger123
[10:36] <gibsonman> can somebody go to www.kfi640.com/pages/streaming.html and see if they can listen
[10:36] <magnetron> crolle17: try to set it for stereo
[10:37] <makaira> PurpZeY: Don't worry. I'll figure it out.
[10:37] <stinger05> anybody ?
[10:37] <crolle17> magnetron, i'll try
[10:37] <magnetron> !fixres | stinger05
[10:37] <ubotu> stinger05: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:38] <crolle17> magnetron, it was set to 2 stereo
[10:38] <crolle17> so that was o.k.. maybe changing the frequency? but i don't think this will help.
[10:38] <silvertip257> fatdigger:  find out where your external is mounted
[10:39] <magnetron> crolle17: try changing the frewuency. i am out of ideas, continue to ask the channel. good luck.
[10:39] <zabin> Hey i just installed beryl but when i right click on the diamond icon and click on beryl it does not switch to the beryl theme.
[10:39] <crolle17> magnetron, thanks.
[10:39] <PurpZeY> zabin: Try #ubuntu-effects or #beryl
[10:40] <Stormx2> Great. Fopp goes bankrupt and now LinkinPark has joined #ubuntu. My life is going downhill.
[10:40] <zabin> PurpZey i am in #beryl

[10:54] <silvertip257> fatdigger:  is that drive mounted?
[10:54] <bjv> i dont think these are the restricted-modules that i am missing, these drivers are even more basic then that
[10:54] <magnastik_> PurpZeY: it says "E: couldn't find package tofrodos"
[10:54] <fatdigger> silvertip257: yes
[10:54] <silvertip257> but nothing on that external drive?
[10:54] <magnetron> makaira: madwifi comes as an Ubuntu package. if you used that package, just uninstall it with Synaptic
[10:54] <bjv> is there even a package that includes vfat & i2c, isnt that covered by linux-image?

[10:55] <PurpZeY> magnastik_: I just apt-cache searched and found it
[10:55] <silvertip257> fatdigger:  I would guess you may not have drivers for the external drive?  hard for me to believe though
[10:55] <rambo3> ThePirateMonk3y, use some other torrent client

[10:55] <chaosmystic> I prefer Deluge to bit tornado, its faster
[10:56] <PurpZeY> magnastik_: apt-cache search tofro

[10:56] <silvertip257> ok
[10:56] <ThePirateMonk3y> rambo3: i already started to download this though, if i used a different tracker will i have to start over or will it pick up where i left off
[10:56] <magnetron> makaira: 1: remove the ath_pci entry from /etc/modules. 2: remove the madwifi package with Synaptic.
[10:56] <PurpZeY> magnastik_: sudo apt-get install tofrodos
[10:57] <silvertip257> fatdigger:  I apologize, I do not know what else to try ...
[10:57] <makaira> magnetron: k. I'll try that.

[11:04] <Nutubuntu> Dominicus,  usb 1.1 has a max throughput of 12 mbps. if wireless throughput exceeds that, the usb would be the bottleneck. usb 2 has a max throughput of 480 mbps.
[11:05] <magnetron> Dominicus: usb 1.0 is 1MB/s . usb 1.1 is 12MB/s. usb2.0 is 480MB/s    so you need at least usb 1.1

[11:06] <PurpZeY> magnastik_: Not to add the repos, but to apt-get the file...Unless it's on the livecd, in which case you can do it that way. not sure if that package is or not

[11:07] <PurpZeY> magnastik_: If it's *not* on the LiveCD (and you should check, b/c there are a bunch of packages on it) then you can use a flash-drive OR burn a CD. That'd be my recommendation...check the CD first.

[11:09] <hereweare> thanks
[11:09] <makaira> rambo3: Would it possibly have something to do with me trying to install xsupplicant before I tried it through apt-get? Would clearing out Xsupplicant through Synaptic maybe give me a better chance?
[11:09] <PurpZeY> magnastik_: So you have to move it over via usb flash driver

[11:09] <compilerwriter> what do you do when apt-get gets stuck?
[11:09] <magnetron> Dominicus: not sure, there are other limiting factors, but if you have a USB2.0 port you should use it. other factors would be the distance to the Acces point.

[11:19] <kinection> hello, i have a friend who will be installing windows after a install of ubuntu. since this will screw up his MBR, i'm wondering if the ubuntu-livecd has any tools that will allow him to fix the MBR so that it also has an entry for windows without needing to edit his menu.lst ?

[11:19] <stefg> magnetron: slightly slowm but within reasonable range
[11:19] <eternalswd> Dominicus, depends on various factors what speeds you get over a LAN.
[11:20] <calc> Dominicus: what kind of wireless is it?
[11:20] <kinection> PurpZeY: yea, i know, doesn't hae much choice in this matter
[11:20] <magnetron> Dominicus: its ~5Mbit/s. 802.11b is 11Mb/s  (max), 5Mbit is what you might expect from it. see what nm-applet in the upper right corner says about the speed.
[11:20] <calc> Dominicus: b or g?
[11:20] <PurpZeY> kinection: Then you can do the grub fix that was described by ubotu above.
[11:20] <calc> Dominicus: for wireless at full rate you get about half what is claimed
[11:20] <JiffaJaffa> kinection, I'd recommend the other way round, Windows first then ubuntu
[11:20] <calc> Dominicus: so around 2.5MB/s for g and .5MB/s for b
[11:20] <kinection> JiffaJaffa: yea, i know. i would to. but that's not going to happen ehre
[11:20] <Dominicus> wow, false advertising!
[11:21] <calc> Dominicus: that isn't a limit of linux either, it is how it really works
[11:21] <Dominicus> i understand
[11:21] <magnetron> Dominicus: they do that with cars to, "top speed"
[11:21] <stefg> Dominicus: start and stopbits are counted, too

[11:22] <calc> Dominicus: with g if you enable burst on your access point you can sometimes get slightly higher speed

[11:40] <Nutubuntu> Dominicus,  you might want to read through ( http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/wireless/2003/08/08/wireless_throughput.html ) if you're curious about the whys and wherefores
[11:40] <PurpZeY> b0ha: I don't know, but that's pretty sweet.
[11:40] <kekos> !alsa
[11:40] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[11:41] <KnowledgEngineer> when i run gnome-phone-manager, i select the telephon and i click on apply the telephon ask me: "passKey bluetooth"
[11:41] <KnowledgEngineer> how can i set this pass?
[11:41] <lgc> Anyone knows how to restart ALSA?
[11:41] <leagris> Is there a way of using DVD-RAM with packet writing without interfering with reading Dual-Layer DVDs?
[11:42] <tijn> Hey all
[11:42] <gaurav_> Hello folks!  I have a problem with synaptic - sometimes when i install a package, it doesn't seem to appear anywhere in the 'applications' list.  Is there some other way to access installed programs other than the main applications list?
[11:42] <arooni> i have a geforce 5200 fx and two monitors that are 1280x1024 each.  i have twinview enabled and the geforce drivers installed.  however i get 1280x1024 on the primary monitor.... and only 800x600 on the second.  ideas?
[11:42] <calc> lgc: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[11:42] <calc> lgc: that restarts the alsa-utils stuff
[11:42] <arooni> drivers are set to 'nvidia'
[11:42] <lgc> calc, thanks.
[11:42] <Luezair> how do i check if a CD burned correctly?
[11:42] <PurpZeY> gaurav_: If you can install the programs via add/remove, I've found that they appear faster...also if they're not GUI apps they are not going to be in those menus
[11:43] <kinection> gaurav_: some programs only run in the terminal. i don't think those show up in Applications menu. However, it is most likely installed in your path. which means if you go into gnome-terminal and type the program name
[11:43] <kinection> it should show up
[11:43] <PurpZeY> !verify

[11:43] <PurpZeY> Leuzair^^
[11:44] <Dominicus> Nutubuntu, thanks, I'll read that
[11:44] <hoelk> gaurav_ one way ist just pressing alt-f2 (run program) and just entering the name of the application
[11:44] <kinection> hoelk: does that run terminal apps in a terminal?
[11:44] <hoelk> gaurav_ some apps simply don't appear in the list :/
[11:44] <JiffaJaffa> kinection, Yes it does
[11:44] <gaurav_> hmm... thanks guys!
[11:45] <hoelk> kinection: theres a checkbox for "run in terminal" in the dialogue that appears
[11:45] <hoelk> ;)
[11:45] <tijn> what apps are you reffering too specificly?
[11:45] <hoelk> jumpnbump for example
[11:45] <hoelk> :P
[11:45] <tijn> hehe
[11:45] <Luezair> ahh, thanks PurpZeY, dd is what i need :)
[11:45] <tijn> that game is SO cool :D
[11:45] <gaurav_> you know, i installed a 'scrabble' game from synaptic.  Never thought they would make a game that runs in the terminal!!  :-)
[11:45] <arooni> i have a geforce 5200 fx and two monitors that are 1280x1024 each.  i have twinview enabled and the geforce drivers installed.  however i get 1280x1024 on the primary monitor.... and only 800x600 on the second.  ideas? (ubuntu 7.04, drivers set to nvidia)
[11:45] <JiffaJaffa> !repeat | arooni
[11:45] <ubotu> arooni: 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
[11:46] <compuwiz> administrator_ , i did everything it says on that page before
[11:46] <tijn> !toshiba
[11:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about toshiba - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:46] <administrator_> hey compuwiz, your beyond me then
[11:46] <administrator_> what type of video card do you have?
[11:47] <compuwiz> nvidid geforce mx 4000
[11:47] <compuwiz> nvidia
[11:47] <kinection> arooni: i suggest you go to http://gentoo-wiki.com/ and search for twinview. although some of the stuff doesn't apply, there will be some examples of xorg.conf that will probably solve your problem
[11:47] <administrator_> hrm, well if you had an intel on board video card, which of the choices would you have chosen in that list?
[11:48] <tom-mifflin> hi, i install Feisty with a DVD drive, and then swapped it out for a different drive, now the automount doesn't work
[11:48] <compuwiz> i dont know, i dont have an intel card
[11:48] <administrator_> does anyone know?
[11:48] <ant-> i810
[11:48] <administrator_> sweet, thanks
[11:49] <cwgannon> ahoy, i'm trying to get flash working in firefox, but with no luck -- i've run the tar.gz installer, but it didn't do anything
[11:50] <stefg> tom-mifflin: is the new drive set up the same way the old one was (i.e. jumperd as master, and on the same ide-port) ?
[11:50] <ompaul> cwgannon, close the browser twice
[11:50] <leagris> Anyone here have some experience in using DVD-RAM within Ubuntu?
[11:50] <tom-mifflin> stefg, yeah
[11:51] <Shadowpillar> my sound in ubuntu is really messed up
[11:52] <Shadowpillar> it was fine yesterday
[11:52] <cwgannon> i can't get flash to work in firefox -- i've run the tar.gz and installed packages thru synaptic, but with no luck at all -- suggestons?
[11:52] <mwe> !sound | Shadowpillar
[11:52] <ubotu> Shadowpillar: 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).

[11:52] <stefg> tom-mifflin: so look at /etc/fstab, and see if the divice name for the drive is still right
[11:52] <compuwiz> does debian use x server as well?
[11:52] <cwgannon> !flash
[11:52] <Shadowpillar> now it has waaay too much bass and the volume control is not fixing it
[11:52] <cwgannon> !flash | cwgannon
[11:52] <ubotu> 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
[11:52] <Shadowpillar> mwe: that isnt the problem
[11:52] <leagris> !dvd-ram
[11:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd-ram - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:52] <leagris> !pktcdvd
[11:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pktcdvd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:52] <Shadowpillar> mwe: it's been fine up until today
[11:52] <leagris> !udftools
[11:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about udftools - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:52] <Shadowpillar> mwe: I dunno what got changed
[11:53] <tom-mifflin> stefg: it looks like the new drive is hdb (as opposed to hdc), but i can't seem to mount hdb manuall
[11:53] <john> hey guys
[11:53] <Shadowpillar> mwe: I've wiped my asound.state to no avail
[11:53] <Shadowpillar> mwe: and it isnt my speakers as sound is fine in windows
[11:53] <tom-mifflin> stefg, it just says "no medium found"
[11:53] <mwe> Shadowpillar: I'd suggest going over the soundtroubleshooting
[11:53] <Lekrem> john: hellp
[11:53] <Lekrem> john: hello
[11:54] <john> hey do you have any idea if asus sound drivers work with ubuntu?
[11:54] <stefg> tom-mifflin: if you run feisty it's more likely you have scd0 or scd1 ... (see !UUID)
[11:54] <leagris> tom-mifflin, hdb, hdc is the block device for the entire drive. You will have to check hdb1, 2, 3 .. for the partitions on the drive. Have a look at /proc/partitions to see if it actually has any partition on it
[11:54] <Shadowpillar> mwe: that page doesn't help
[11:54] <Shadowpillar> mwe: my bass goes up each time I open any sound thing
[11:54] <stefg> leagris: he's talking about a CD / DVD drive
[11:54] <Lekrem> john: sorry im not very good with drivers
[11:55] <tom-mifflin> leagris, if i do "ls /dev | grep hd", i get 3 partitions on hda and hdb
[11:55] <john> anybody else? i cant seem to getr my speakers to work
[11:55] <mwe> Shadowpillar: I see
[11:55] <Shadowpillar> I'm using an sblive
[11:56] <tom-mifflin> stefg, there's no scd devices
[11:56] <user01> im thinking of setting up a family file server . . . and im reading up on networks . . . why do i need samba?  couldnt ssh just work?
[11:57] <kinection> user01: samba allows windows users to 'mount' drives/shares
[11:57] <ompaul> user01, you could use nfs
[11:57] <kinection> user01: and access them as if they were local drives
[11:57] <bart__> i think u need samba if your using windows computers in your network
[11:57] <Thanaton> user01:  ssh isn't strictly a file sharing protocol
[11:57] <beruic> Hi, I have a huge problem with my synaptic mouse thingy.. It's fysically malfunctioning, if i touch it, it freaks out, so I want to disable it completely. I have commented out ALL synaptic stuff in xorg.conf, but it still * works. I have uninstalled tpconfig and tpctl. It's driving me crazy!!!
[11:57] <stefg> tom-mifflin: what happens if you put a CD in the drive and 'sudo mount /dev/scd0 /mnt' ? udev may have a wrong idea of your setup
[11:57] <walla_> anyone know if it's possible to set ur folder icons in nautilus to the album cover?
[11:57] <Shadowpillar> mwe: now my front channels dont work
[11:58] <jack__> Hi, I'm having boot issues
[11:58] <tom-mifflin> stefg, "mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist
[11:58] <tom-mifflin> "
[11:58] <mwe> Shadowpillar: odd since you say it was working yesterday
[11:58] <Shadowpillar> yes it was
[11:58] <jack__> everytime I boot, it stops, claiming it can't run a command in one of the scripts
[11:58] <Shadowpillar> I'm only getting sound out from the rear channels
[11:58] <beruic> Hi, I have a huge problem with my synaptic mouse thingy.. It's fysically malfunctioning, if i touch it, it freaks out, so I want to disable it completely. I have commented out ALL synaptic stuff in xorg.conf, but it still * works. I have uninstalled tpconfig and tpctl. It's driving me crazy!!!
[11:58] <Shadowpillar> mwe: and it works fine in windows
[11:58] <arooni> is there something i can do to make my dlink wifi card more powerful?  it barely picks up a signal thats pretty strong (not sure what drivers its using)
[11:58] <mwe> jack__: what command in what script?
[11:59] <jack__> /etc/rcS.d/S47irda-setup
[11:59] <tijn> beruic: mmh iam not sure if its wise to comment it out, maybe you 'd better keep it, but set it to disable or something..
[11:59] <jack__> sorry, having troulbe copying out of terminal
[11:59] <stefg> tom-mifflin: alright, so no libata for that drive. so if it was hdc before, and now is hdb it is definitly not jumpered the same way and not connected to the same IDE channel as the drive before
[11:59] <PurpZeY> arooni: If you are using the bfcutter method that tends to lower signal strength.
[12:00] <mwe> arooni: iwconfig txpower if the driver supports it
[12:00] <beruic> tijn: I'm open to anything now...
[12:00] <jack__> it's line 76 and 77, it says the device it tries to echo to is busy
[12:00] <tom-mifflin> stefg, well, what should i do... the drive is definitely functional, if i reboot, i can get it to boot to the Ubuntu LiveCD
[12:00] <cy> I'm on the live CD and I need to back some stuff up before I wipe and install ubuntu. The problem I'm having is that I can't burn a CD, not enough free space. Is there a way to burn straight from the file with no /tmp usage?
[12:00] <jack__> lines 76 and 77 are (let me go back to terminal so I can copy):
[12:00] <tijn> beruic: i've the same problem, but iam really not sure, because i havent used linux for a while :(
[12:00] <tijn> but! my new laptop with kubuntu is installing atm :D
[12:01] <mwe> arooni: sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 40 mW (or whatever your interface name is)
[12:01] <stefg> tom what does your /etc/fstab say about cdroms?
