[12:01] <stefg> tom-mifflin: what does your /etc/fstab say about cdroms?
[12:01] <jack__> echo disable >$x/resources
[12:01] <user01> kinection: oh ok and im looking at organization of files on the server too . . . like for example if i have a share/video/ directory id like to have all video files in that directory but not have certain files accessible to certain users .  . . like have barney.avi accessible to everyone but terminator.avi not accessible to certain users under 12 but id like to have them both in the same directory
[12:01] <mwe> arooni: iwconfig should show the current value
[12:01] <jack__> echo activate >$x/resources
[12:01] <jack__> both with ; after them in the script
[12:01] <tom-mifflin> stefg, no /dev/cdrom entries... i've plugged in a spare CD-ROM drive i have and it automounts fine... there's no mention of it in fstab
[12:02] <compuwiz> is there a way to make it work without detecting a monitor
[12:02] <tom-mifflin> stefg, the new drive is hdd
[12:02] <arooni> mwe: that was an invalid value
[12:02] <stefg> tom-mifflin: that's not ok... you'd need an entry for /dev/hdd in the fstab
[12:02] <beruic> tijn: Seems logical enough, as it may autoload if it's not found in file. I'm using a normal mouse always, but I just HATE when i strife the red dot in the middle of my keyboard, nd the mouse runs fast for some endless away point.
[12:03] <arooni> mwe: sudo iwconfig ath0 txpower 40 mW
[12:03] <tom-mifflin> stefg, brb... i'm going to restart
[12:03] <jack__> mwe: does that help?

[12:04] <john> can anyone help with a sound issue
[12:04] <user01> is there a way to have one directory with 10 files lets say give access to 7 / 10 to some logins 3/10 to others . . . etc?
[12:04] <kinection> user01: that's completely possibly, but it'd require you to have people authenticate prior to connection to the share and to set up groups and permissions inside of samba's configuration file. i don't know the details on how to do that though. but it's completely in the realm of possibility
[12:04] <arooni> mwe: is there anything else i can do?

[12:05] <PurpZeY> !alsa | john
[12:05] <ubotu> john: 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).

[12:05] <jack__> john: I usually just do an run alsaconf
[12:05] <PurpZeY> Russian: Ask your questions...
[12:06] <arooni> next q:  i have a sound blaster live PCI card .... and it supports 5.1 audio output... but right now i'm only getting audio out from my front two speakers.  what should i do?
[12:06] <user01> kinection: because everything looks like it is folder based . . . like if we re talking about movies i would have to put all the G movies in one, all the PG movies in another, all the PG13 in another

[12:06] <Russian> I downloaded the ATI driver, but I dont know how to install
[12:06] <cy> first step with sound issues, for me, is to check alsamixer, it likes to mute everything by default

[12:07] <Russian> Thank you going to read it
[12:07] <user01> kinection: yeah its just that i like to set-up folders based on classification, not by their ratings
[12:07] <kjw75> zabin I'm not sure the answer to your question, but why don't you want beryl to update?
[12:07] <johndoc> any idea how i can get that option under my sound options?
[12:07] <mwe> arooni: try another value
[12:07] <PurpZeY> Also, I've never seen a beryl upgrade in the 4 months I am running it.
[12:08] <LordLimecat> correct me if im wrong, but if someone wishes to "uninstall" ubuntu, they need to mark their XP partition as active, format the ubuntu partition, and resize the xp part?
[12:08] <cy> Again, is there a way to burn a CD from the live CD? I need to backup files. I'm sure this is a common problem
[12:08] <mwe> arooni: sudo iwconfig ath0 txpower 20
[12:08] <kinection> user01: I don't think I can help you out with that then, I don't have a high enough understanding of how samba doles out permissions
[12:08] <Chikubu> i can use the Places-Network util to see files on my XP machine, how can i mount one of those folders so the file system and other applications see the network folder?
[12:08] <mwe> arooni: sudo iwconfig ath0 txpower or 14 or something
[12:08] <Flannel> LordLimecat: theyd have to fixmbr, then do whatever with the partition
[12:08] <user01> kinection: like id rather put terminator.avi under /share/movies/action/ rather than /share/movies/R/
[12:08] <jack__> LordLimecat: that sounds about right
[12:08] <mwe> arooni: maybe it has a limit
[12:08] <joe_skaggs> hey lordlimecat, try booting into xp and then go to the diskmanager and just delete the partitions
[12:08] <zabin> kjw75: because it beaks my beryl there is a bug in it and it hasnt be fixed for ati-glx users
[12:08] <kinection> user01: you may want to go ask in the samba channel or google around a bit
[12:08] <LordLimecat> joe_skaggs: wouldnt that wipe out grub?
[12:08] <LordLimecat> and leave hte user screwed?
[12:08] <pushpop`>  is there anything out there where you can turn a physical machine into a San storage appliance?
[12:08] <joe_skaggs> yeah
[12:09] <zabin> Does anyone know how to change the text color on the applications bar
[12:09] <zabin> ?
[12:09] <Flannel> LordLimecat: yes.  That's why you need to fixmbr, or leave grub (and keep a small /boot partition)
[12:09] <arooni> mwe: i can go up to 19
[12:09] <LordLimecat> Flannel: ah, so just marking xp as active wouldnt do it?
[12:09] <mwe> arooni: should be plenty
[12:09] <LordLimecat> so he DOES need the xp install disk, correct?
[12:09] <Flannel> LordLimecat: no, because the MBR still has grub stuffs in it.
[12:09] <stefg> !grub | LordLimecat
[12:09] <ubotu> LordLimecat: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[12:09] <Flannel> LordLimecat: right.  Unless he wants to use grub to boot xP (which is perfectly doable)
[12:09] <joe_skaggs> idk, just removing the partitions worked for me when I went back to xp for a week
[12:09] <kjw75> zabin: ah I see, well I dunno, but if you use the GUI update manager you can choose what to update and what not to update
[12:10] <Russian> The things is I downloaded the Driver, it is auto install, but any file I try to open in Ubuntu, I get standard error, because it trys to open it as a text file
[12:10] <Noah0504> I'm trying to decide between Beagle, Meta Tracker, and Google Desktop.  Anyone have a few suggestions?
[12:10] <Flannel> Noah0504: not google desktop
[12:10] <Noah0504> Flannel: Oh, why so?
[12:10] <LordLimecat> Flannel: easiest way to keep grub=just wipe out the / and /home partitions, leaving /boot, and resize XP?
[12:10] <Flannel> Noah0504: it's not as feature rich as the native linux solutions.
[12:10] <mwe> arooni: I think iwconfig txpower X is in dBm if it's not postfixed by mW
[12:10] <Chikubu> non of the above, do you realy need it taking up resources
[12:11] <zabin> kjw75: that that ubuntu icon is always there
[12:11] <Noah0504> Flannel: Do you use either Beagle or Tracker?
[12:11] <zabin> what does sudo aptitude hold beryl do?
[12:11] <viajador> Does anyone knows how do I turn-off compiz?
[12:11] <PurpZeY> viajador: compuz or desktop effects?
[12:11] <Flannel> LordLimecat: yeah.  /boot is a tiny 100mb partiion (heck, if you're rmeoving linux from it, you only need like 10mb, and even that'll be huge).  And then remove everything else (you might need to reinstall grub on MBR to point to the new /boot partition, if it moved) and then grub will be able to boot XP
[12:11] <zabin> does anyone know how to change the applications bar text color?
[12:12] <misty> Hi.  Can someone please tell me what I have to install to get /etc/ldap.conf
[12:12] <Russian> How to open .run file?
[12:12] <Flannel> LordLimecat: well, the easiest way is to fixmbr with a windows CD, but if you don't have one of those... yeah.
[12:12] <mwe> Russian: chmod +x it then run it
[12:12] <Chikubu> someone inform me how to make folders on a network share be seen in applications...some have a browse network opiton others dont...can i mount the network folder?  is there some address nomenclature i can use like //server/share
[12:13] <viajador> purpzey: compiz!
[12:13] <mrigns> 
[12:13] <Russian> Thank you mwe
[12:13] <viajador> With beryl, i just used the system tray icon.
[12:13] <Russian> Mwe: Now it says, you need to run this installer as a super user?
[12:13] <PurpZeY> viajador: apt-get remove?
[12:14] <PurpZeY> Russian: add sudo before teh command
[12:14] <viajador> I don't want to uninstall it. I just want to stop it for a while, because it conflicts with Blender
[12:14] <mwe> Russian: what is it?

[12:24] <mwe> niko__: hmm
[12:24] <CAL|SMeltn> it has no pass to log in to it. Is that what a WEP key is?
[12:24] <niko__> CAL|SMeltn: log into your router.
[12:24] <mwe> look at the output of the command dmesg in a terminal right after you plug it in
[12:25] <mwe> niko__: ^^
[12:25] <CAL|SMeltn> wait
[12:25] <CAL|SMeltn> I am on my desktop xp machine
[12:25] <CAL|SMeltn> I am just now installing ubuntu on the laptop

[12:26] <mwe> CAL|SMeltn: you don't know if your AP uses encryption or not?
[12:26] <CAL|SMeltn> no idea
[12:26] <mwe> CAL|SMeltn: then it probably doesn't. usually you have to configure that
[12:27] <dts> what's the fastest way to synchronize two folders (unidirectional from f1 -> f2) with hundereds of thousands of files (all really small)/subfolders?

[12:27] <arooni> for ie crap compatibility

[12:28] <mwe> niko__: it doesn't seem to like your broadcom device which is unrelated, though.
[12:28] <gdb> arooni: sudo apt-get install eclipse
[12:29] <Russian> ?resolution
[12:29] <PurpZeY> arooni: It's not ie6, it's IE for Linux...but, you might be able to run IE in wine...
[12:29] <zabin> kjw75: you still here
[12:29] <packman86> can i chat to anyone alone? all these treads become confusing
[12:29] <john> arooni: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseWebTools
[12:29] <nivekc1> how do i make the window list a different color without changing my theme so that it blends with my custom color panel?

[12:29] <Russian> Cant get my ati config to work
[12:29] <IndyGunFreak> packman86: you can't send PM's unless your registered

[12:29] <arooni> PurpZeY: does it run the same way that IE does?  render teh same way?
[12:30] <ubotu> zabin: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[12:30] <PriceChild> !register > packman86 (see pm from ubotu)
[12:30] <mwe> niko__: it seems like the kernel doesn't notice

[12:34] <omha> ihope, recompile ndiswrapper
[12:35] <Russian> k tnx anyway
[12:35] <nivekc1> is there a way i can stop ubuntu from using a restricted driver and find a working one for ati x1300
[12:35] <ihope> omha: would make uninstall, make, make install do that?
[12:35] <omha> ihope, and use the gcc version that you kernel was compiled with (cat /proc/version)
[12:35] <omha> ihope, yes
[12:35] <PurpZeY> ihope: That file ndiswrapper.ko, is not in the dir properly...e.g. it may be looking for it in one spot, and it is somewhere else...need to recompile
[12:35] <ihope> Thanks, I'll try that.
[12:36] <omha> ihope, sudo make install

[12:36] <mwe> no he needs to install ndiswrapper-utils I think
[12:36] <ant-> Russian, you might need package 'fglrx-control'
[12:36] <mwe> and ndiswrapper-common
[12:36] <omha> mwe, no, just download the lastest ndiswrapper and compile it
[12:37] <mwe> omha: well he says it doesn't have internet
[12:37] <Russian> ant: what is that?
[12:37] <omha> mwe, use a kable
[12:38] <mwe> don't tell me
[12:38] <mwe> the error is caused by missing utils/common files
[12:38] <iphv37> how do i install ubuntustudio-theme in ubuntu fasty fawn?

[12:42] <younghacker_> can someone help me mount this external floppy

[12:42] <Morbis> is it a known problem with Linux not being able to read a lot of DVDs? Errors, no matter what movie player i use
[12:43] <dapiz987> anybody know how i would disable tapping on my touchpad (it is ALPS not Synaptics)
[12:43] <PurpZeY> Morbis: Did you install the dvd libs?
[12:43] <niko__> omha: the wireless on my laptop is not working
[12:43] <iphv37> i can't find ubuntustudio-theme in synaptic! how do i change the repositories to be able to find it?
[12:43] <bit> hihos noob :D
[12:43] <omha> niko__,  tried ndiswrapper?
[12:43] <PurpZeY> dapiz987: You can still use gsynaptics for that.
[12:43] <bit> oww alexandre
[12:43] <bit> OWWWWW
[12:43] <Morbis> PurpZeY, no. How do i do that
[12:43] <omha> niko__, and not the one in the ubuntu repo
[12:43] <PurpZeY> !dvd | morbis
[12:43] <ubotu> morbis: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[12:43] <younghacker_> can someone help me mount my floppy?
[12:43] <dapiz987> how can i disable tapping using gsynaptics
[12:43] <chump> hey guys i have a 3945ABG i'm running Fiesty Fawn and the card worked great but i wanted to recompile the card drivers so i could get airsnort to with it.... well i followed this help doc writtent by 'justhamade' and i got all the way down to compiling the 3945 drivers and the make errored and now the card doesn't work.  this is the error i get while trying to do a make on the cards drivers http://pastebin.com/939715
[12:44] <PurpZeY> dapiz987: Run gsynaptics or even in touchpad settings there is a simple check-box for it.
[12:44] <iphv37> bit, atao pa? sbem?
[12:44] <Morbis> thanks PurpZeY
[12:44] <k31th> lmfao younghacker_
[12:44] <PurpZeY> dapiz987: If you didn't know...gsynaptics is a seperate package you have to download.
[12:44] <k31th> wat a daft name
[12:44] <mwe> dapiz987: I don't know gsynaptics but the driver has a truck load of options in xorg.conf
[12:44] <k31th> plus asking to mount a floppy
[12:45] <k31th> lmfao.
[12:45] <niko__> omha: havent been much in linux, is it difficult ?
[12:45] <ihope> omha: I tried that. It didn't seem to do anything.
[12:45] <PurpZeY> mwe: IMO there is no reason to mess with xorg for touchpad issues unless you need some really unique settings, b/w several either gsynatpics, or qsynaptics...things are gtg.
[12:45] <iphv37> none knows?? i can't find ubuntustudio-theme in synaptic! how do i change the repositories to be able to find it?
[12:45] <cwgannon> err, i installed beagle thru synaptic but can't figure out how to ... open it
[12:46] <PurpZeY> cwgannon: You can run it via CLI
[12:46] <__david_> hello, how do I set up software raid?  When I run sudo mdadm --create /dev/md0 -l 5 -n 5 /dev/sda....,  it says "Cannot open /dev/sda5: Device or resource busy" and says that everything appears to be part of a raid array.  The drives used to be in an old array, but I want to reuse them.  How can I do this?
[12:46] <PurpZeY> !raid | __david_
[12:46] <ubotu> __david_: Raid and LVM --> very easy guide for alternate CD : http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/raid.html Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[12:46] <mwe> PurpZeY: I see. It's the only way I know. don't use synaptics anymore though
[12:46] <omha> niko__, no but you need to compile a module
[12:46] <chump> david PM me
[12:46] <cwgannon> !CLI | cwgannon
[12:46] <cwgannon> PurpZey: where can i find the command?
[12:47] <omha> niko__,  download the windows drivers for your card then go to http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/ and download the latest stable release
[12:47] <niko__> omha: is there a step-by-step guide i could follow ?
[12:47] <PurpZeY> mwe: I mean, you can do it that way, it's just that, in my estimation, messing with xorg is always a risk...whereas running gsynaptics is no worries.
[12:47] <niko__> omha: okey
[12:47] <omha> niko__, i can guide you
[12:47] <PurpZeY> cwgannon: just try beagle at a command prompt
[12:47] <cwgannon> PurpZey: alright, thanks
[12:47] <mwe> PurpZeY: if there's a good gui tool i'd agree stick to that.
[12:48] <omha> beagle is slow, i like google desktop better
[12:48] <omha> give all your information to google!!1
[12:48] <PurpZeY> WTH does beagle do?
[12:49] <omha> PurpZeY, file search and indexing
[12:49] <Fezzler> My sound for playing YouTube clips is very muddled and low for some reason.  Sound Test tones are nice and loud and clear?
[12:49] <dapiz987> "You have to set 'SHMconfig' 'true' in xorg.conf" it says
[12:49] <mrigns> locate ftw
[12:49] <mwe> PurpZeY: as I said I don't know gsynaptics but sometimes gui tools don't let configure all features
[12:49] <dts> how do i know what version i'm running
[12:49] <dts> of ubuntu
[12:49] <greg_g> where does one edit the application menu launchers.  I moved an application that has a link from the menu to a different directory.  I assume it is just a configuration file, but I can't find it.
[12:49] <PurpZeY> mwe: I follow
[12:49] <mwe> dts: lsb_release -a
[12:50] <PurpZeY> omha: What's wrong with the tool in gnome?
[12:50] <omha> Fezzler, turn op the volume under the video :)
[12:50] <Morbis> it's annoying how whenever i follow direct instructions from the ubuntu website i regularly get 'command not found' etc
[12:50] <Morbis> >.<
[12:50] <slavchev94> ok, now the downloading skype is done! Now how to install it?
[12:50] <Morbis> i just want to play a dvd lol :P
[12:50] <omha> PurpZeY, theres nothing wrong?
[12:50] <Cooner750> Are there any programs that put a Dock in Ubuntu like OS X?
[12:50] <Morbis> i give up. installing windows again =)
[12:50] <PurpZeY> Cooner750: kibadock
[12:50] <slavchev94> ok, now the downloading skype is done! Now how to install it?
[12:51] <Fezzler> omha:  Maxed out.  Sounds like a staticy radio
[12:51] <PurpZeY> omha: what I mean is, if the gnome searcher works fine, why need beagle?
[12:51] <chills> hey guys i want to play 3gp on my system how do i do that
[12:51] <m3nt0r> hi all .. i am looking for a tool to constantly monitor my process list. i am looking for a specific program but it starts and closes so fast, that i can't check it.. is there some sort of tool or command for the console?
[12:51] <omha> PurpZeY, it searches content
[12:51] <dapiz987> morbis, automatix2 has everything you need for dvds
[12:51] <omha> PurpZeY, not file names
[12:52] <cwgannon> just a random Q: what does a $ before a command line mean?
[12:52] <Morbis> so do the other three players i have ;P
[12:52] <dts> any idea why i have xinetd installed on one dapper computer and not the other? it must be some dependency that installed it, but which one?
[12:52] <Fezzler> Master was low for some reason
[12:52] <PurpZeY> omha: I got it...That's cool.
[12:52] <dapiz987> do you have a dvd decoder installed
[12:53] <PurpZeY> cwgannon: That's a root command line I believe.
[12:53] <omha> m3nt0r, top or system -> administration -> system monitor
[12:53] <cwgannon> i see
[12:53] <Morbis> disc goes in, errors. the site PurpZeY linked told me to get libdvdread3, which is already installed according to synaptic, i tried typing the sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh thing into terminal like the site says next, command not found..?
[12:54] <drp> how to install xubuntu using the console instead of the gui?
[12:54] <dapiz987> get automatix, install non-free dvd codecs, then run the lib dvd DEB file that it puts in your home folder, worked for me
[12:54] <PurpZeY> !automatix
[12:54] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[12:54] <PurpZeY> !worksforme
[12:54] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.

[12:56] <omha> niko__,  no, "sudo apt-get install linux-source module-assistant"
[12:56] <slavchev94> and are you recive it purpzey
[12:57] <PurpZeY> slavchev94: It takes 4-6 weeks. Also, there is probably a channel for you if you speak a different language than english...
[12:57] <slavchev94> and how to access this channel?
[12:57] <PurpZeY> slavchev94: What language?

[12:57] <Nutubuntu> Hm ... Firefox pagefaults. Again. Is this common in 2.0.x in Feisty? It wasn't happening in 1.5.x in Dapper.
[12:57] <PurpZeY> slavchev94: mwe has a point, sometimes they are quite dead....

[12:58] <misty> I'm not stupid, I've had this working before in other dists, but I just can't get it, and I've been working on it for two hours
[12:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bul - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[12:59] <omha> ihope, it is a quick and dirty fix :)
[12:59] <PurpZeY> ihope: I didn't realize this just occured after a kernel upgrade...Just revert to the old kernel...No worries
[12:59] <ihope> Indeed.

[12:59] <drp> mwe, omha: the apt-get ... seems to be wrong. i have inserted the xubuntu install cd and worry beacause when it reaches 85% the install wizard crashes everytime.
[12:59] <PurpZeY> SJrX: gcc
[12:59] <niko__> omha: done

[01:00] <drp> that's why i am looking for a way to install it using the shell of the livecd
[01:00] <SJrX> PurpZeY no there is more, as I can't compile #include <iostream> int main() { cout << "Test"; return 1; }
[01:00] <omha> niko__, "sudo module-assistant" and select prepare
[01:00] <J_P> Jamesinator: is apt-get install tcpd
[01:00] <J_P> Jamesinator: that package install hosts.deny and allow  ;-)
[01:00] <misty> Does anybody know about LDAP auth in ubuntu??
[01:00] <younghacker_> mount dev/fd0 is not a valid block device, what does that mean...can i fix it, I need to mount a floppy drive
[01:01] <Jamesinator> J_P: I wasn't talking about hosts.x, I was talking about IPtables
[01:01] <misty> I'm so tired, I've been reinstalling this server all day and this almost the last thing I have to do :(
[01:01] <PurpZeY> SJrX: Libdev
[01:01] <niko__> omha: done
[01:01] <younghacker_> anybody?
[01:01] <omha> niko__,  exit and go to the ndiswrapper folder and type make && sudo make install
[01:02] <SlicerDicer-> has anybody ever seen dialup dial on powerup of the computer nonstop? I have no idea how to stop it from doing it :/
[01:02] <SlicerDicer-> I am using kppp for dialup
[01:02] <ChaosMachine> Is there a utility I can use to rip CDs?
[01:03] <PurpZeY> !rip
[01:03] <ubotu> For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar
[01:03] <ChaosMachine> Thank you. : )
[01:03] <PurpZeY> n/p
[01:03] <SJrX> PurpZeY no such package
[01:03] <niko__> omha: done
[01:03] <PurpZeY> SJrX: sorry build-essential it's called
[01:03] <omha> niko__,  type "ndiswrapper -i /your/windows/driver.inf"
[01:03] <SJrX> thanks
[01:04] <PurpZeY> bbl
[01:04] <lenskjold> hej
[01:04] <lenskjold> one moment
[01:04] <ihope> Running the kernel version ending in .10 instead of the one ending in .11 now. modprobe ndiswrapper runs much faster now, as it did before, but it still doesn't seem to do anything.

[01:05] <chump> niko you're goign to hve get the ini
[01:05] <chump>  file
[01:05] <J_P> Jamesinator: but my question was about hosts.x and not about iptables.
[01:05] <d-b> Hey there. I've been trying to play some old games but then my Laptop's resolution can't go lower than 1024x768
[01:05] <Jamesinator> J_P: I'm perfectly aware, I also told you you should just use iptables, hence my followup.
[01:05] <drp> can no one tell me, how to start the installer within the shell
[01:06] <ihope> niko__: if I remember correctly, some certain decompression utilities are capable of extracting files from certain .exe files.
[01:06] <masiel> videos
[01:06] <omha> niko__,  you need to find a .inf file(s), i cant remember how you extracted files from .exe
[01:06] <lenskjold> hi, why does my password not work in the terminal?, it works fine when logging in :s
[01:06] <niko__> ill extract it on my windows computer
[01:06] <mrunagi> so totem absolutely does not support menus for dvds?

[01:07] <lenskjold> when typing su

[01:07] <omha> lenskjold, theres no root password
[01:08] <omha> lenskjold, use sudo cmd or sudo -i (su)
[01:08] <ihope> Or sudo su. :-)
[01:08] <lenskjold> http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm but this guide tells me to type su? :|
[01:09] <omha> lenskjold, just type sudo -i instead, its the same
[01:09] <omha> lenskjold, oh btw you cant use that
[01:09] <lenskjold> java? or?
[01:09] <dts> how do i actually read throughput of a connection?
[01:10] <omha> lenskjold, rpm

[01:10] <lenskjold> whats rpm? :p

[01:10] <ihope> Can Java be apt-gotten?

[01:12] <omha> lenskjold, just open in firefox and hit open
[01:12] <omha> Niklas-, a .inf file
[01:12] <lenskjold> ok
[01:13] <PriceChild> !automatix | omha
[01:13] <ubotu> omha: 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
[01:13] <omha> PriceChild, never had any problems, but if thats the guidelines i follow them :)

[01:23] <Eltimbalino> If I put all of this:sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get updat
[01:23] <Eltimbalino> into my terminal connection, will it work, or do these lines need editing?
[01:23] <omha> niko__,  does it work?
[01:23] <Dominicus> eltimbalino, did someone tell you to add those specific repositories?
[01:24] <bruenig> Eltimbalino, update not updat

[01:24] <torben_> where shall i put that?
[01:24] <bruenig> Eltimbalino, also you need to add an && after medibuntu.list and before wget
[01:25] <Eltimbalino> Dominicus: It is just the instructions so that I can play DVDs
[01:25] <Dominicus> ok
[01:25] <Eltimbalino> I am at :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

[01:26] <stinger05> does a propriatory closed-source driver for nvidia have anything to do with the refresh rate in ubuntu?
[01:26] <joshritger> can someone please help me get a higher screen res than 800x600 while using a kvm switch
[01:27] <stinger05> i mean would it make a difference without them ?
[01:27] <TTimo> actually,  can't even find mount.cifs on this distro
[01:27] <Dominicus> Eltimbalino, i'm no expert but what I'd recommend you do is try to play a DVD with whatever default program wants to play it, then that program may offer to download the required codecs for you
[01:27] <omha> stinger05, yes, the driver gives you hardware accelerated gfx
[01:27] <bluebanana> Hi do I find out what video card I have?

[01:28] <Dominicus> noob question: how do I create a shortcut to a folder?
[01:29] <stinger05> omha: can i download the nvidia driver package manually just to back them up ?
[01:29] <omha> stinger05, sure but it's better to use the nvidia-glx driver
[01:29] <stinger05> which is ?
[01:30] <omha> stinger05, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[01:30] <Dominicus> bruenig, I have a noob question but no one seems to know the answer to it: how do I create a shortcut to a folder?
[01:30] <stinger05> do i need an internet connection for that ?
[01:30] <Dominicus> omg its pelo!!
[01:30] <bruenig> Dominicus, ln -s /path/to/real/folder /path/to/link
[01:30] <omha> stinger05, it's also close source but is shipped with ubuntu so you dont need to compile it with every kernel update
[01:30] <Dominicus> ok thanks
[01:30] <torben_> I need help to compile so i can get sound plz!
[01:30] <igotzmilk> yo

[01:48] <omha> quinton, sudo apt-get install rar
[01:48] <quinton> I have them all
[01:48] <poon> okay, why isn't bootlogd logging anything?
[01:48] <quinton> I can double click on both of them rars and they do not load
[01:48] <CaptainOblivious> epp> http://www.gnome-look.org/
[01:49] <omha> quinton, double click on them ?
[01:49] <poon> someone help me out, Why isn't bootlogd logging the boot messages, I don't even think it's running at boot
[01:49] <quinton> omha, I have tried double clicking and neither one loads?
[01:49] <omha> quinton, double on what?
[01:49] <niko____> omha: done
[01:49] <russ_> a
[01:49] <eric> Hey folks...I just did a clean install of Feisty Fawn on my wife's laptop and I am having issues getting her bcm4306 card working correctly.
[01:49] <CaptainOblivious> anyone know how to increase my resolution past 1024x768 with nvidia drivers?
[01:50] <omha> niko____,  with?
[01:50] <epp> CaptainOblivious, well isnt it already in ubuntu?
[01:50] <mwe> poon: /var/log/dmesg
[01:50] <quinton> omha, I have double clicked on everyone of them at least one time and tried a  system restart then tried double clicking again.
[01:50] <poon> mwe
[01:50] <mwe> poon: empty?
[01:50] <poon> thanks
[01:50] <eric> I don't have internet access on her machine now, so I need to know if there is a way to download the binaries from my laptop first?
[01:50] <omha> quinton, on rar files?
[01:50] <poon> CaptainOblivious: look up how to edit your xorg.conf
[01:50] <niko____> omha: i have the correct driver
[01:50] <poon> put the resolution you want as default first
[01:50] <poon> mwe: hold on
[01:50] <poon> let me check
[01:50] <omha> niko____,  good then "sudo ndiswrapper -i file.inf"
[01:51] <quinton> omha, yes, theres a winrarlinux folder on my desktop I open it and it contains unrar, rar and other files I have double clicked all of them and no luck.
[01:51] <poon> That's not what i need mwe
[01:51] <mwe> poon: what then
[01:51] <poon> I need boot console messages
[01:51] <CaptainOblivious> where is the file by default?
[01:51] <poon> on startup and shutdown'
[01:51] <omha> quinton, type this in the console "sudo apt-get install rar unrar"
[01:51] <mwe> poon: they don't get logged as the hdd is not mounted yet
[01:51] <poon> which is what is supposed to be logged by bootlogd
[01:51] <quinton> omha, ok may I ask what the console is?
[01:52] <poon> bootlogd: look that up, if you don't know, then you are of no help
[01:52] <mwe> I thought dmesg would be the best you get
[01:52] <omha> quinton, alt + f2 and type gnome-terminal
[01:52] <niko____> omha: sudo ndiswrapper -i /home/niko/sp34152a/bcmwl5.inf <- like that?
[01:52] <omha> niko____, yes
[01:52] <bobgill1> How do I open a port in Firestarter, or in terminal open a port so that it's not firewalled anymore?
[01:52] <niko____> omha: done, without errors this time.. :)
[01:52] <quinton> omha, ok i have typed gnome-terminal and hit enter
[01:53] <omha> niko____, then  sudo ndiswrapper -l
[01:53] <mwe> poon: It can't log before the hdd is mounted other than dmesg
[01:53] <russe11> I'm having trouble setting keybindings in CompizConfig Settings Manager using Compiz fusion. When I try to set one, nothing happens.
[01:53] <vip3rousmango> Anyone know of a good dskimg mounting tool? Gmount-ISO is in german everytime i get it.. i need one in english
[01:53] <poon> mwe: it logs the console messages
[01:53] <quinton> omha, It loaded a notepad like object with some typing and a cursor blinking on the end.
[01:53] <omha> quinton, then type "sudo apt-get install rar unrar"
[01:53] <bobgill1> vip3rousmango: acetoneiso
[01:53] <poon> and it does work
[01:53] <vip3rousmango> bobgill1: thanks
[01:53] <niko____> omha: bcmwl5 : driver installed device (14E4:4311) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx)
[01:54] <vip3rousmango> bobgill1: can i apt-get acetoneiso?
[01:54] <poon> just not for me unfortunately
[01:54] <bobgill1> vip3rousmango: look for it on kde-look.org
[01:54] <bobgill1> you'll need some dependencies
[01:54] <vip3rousmango> oh?
[01:54] <vip3rousmango> nothing available via apt-get??
[01:54] <eric> Has anyone been able to get wireless running with a Broadcom card? BCM4306 on a Dell?
[01:54] <bobgill1> no
[01:54] <vip3rousmango> =\
[01:54] <quinton> omha, It asks for a password and I try to type mine in and it isnt showing any characters?
[01:55] <omha> niko____, weee, type "sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx && sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper && sudo  modprobe ndiswrapper
[01:55] <omha> quinton, the password isnt shown but it is typed, just hit enter when you done typing it
[01:56] <niko____> omha: done
[01:56] <mwe> I don't see how a damon on the hdd would be able to log anything before the hdd is mounted
[01:56] <omha> niko____, wireless works?
[01:56] <quinton> omha, wow... This is very new to me...
[01:56] <omha> quinton, i can see ;)
[01:56] <quinton> omha, may i ask another question that seriously bothers me?
[01:56] <xyc0> eric:  I have
[01:56] <omha> quinton, sure
[01:57] <eric> xyc0: how? I have had nothing but issues this afternoon trying to get it working on my wife's laptop
[01:57] <AJ--> gud am.. i just want to know if theres a support for canon MP150 printer in ubuntu
[01:57] <niko____> omha: blue light is on for wireless :) so i guess it should work now.. ill test.. brb
[01:57] <xyc0> eric, do you have some connection to the internet?
[01:57] <Rex> hello folks... anyone know how I would force a downgrade on libgl1-mesa-glx & ibgl1-mesa-dri from 6.5.2-3ubuntu7 to 6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu4?
[01:57] <eric> I installed the bcm43xx-fwcutter, I could see the card but it would not work with the access point.  It just plain wouldn't connect to it
[01:58] <quinton> omha, well when i reboot my machine it loads my asus motherboard and then it goes to a countdown screen and makes me choose generic or other options? is there anyway to turn this off and possibly just go to the ubuntu load?
[01:58] <eric> Yea I am on my laptop now...
[01:58] <CaptainOblivious> btw, for nvidia resolution changes, you need to run nvidia-settings
[01:58] <AJ--> gud am.. i just want to know if theres a support for canon MP150 printer in ubuntu?????
[01:58] <eric> I could hard wire her laptop to the net also if I need to.
[01:58] <xyc0> eric, on your wife's computer?
[01:58] <javes> has anyone here successfully synced a blackberry running ubuntu?
[01:58] <eric> xyc0: if I have to I can move it to where one of our desktops are and use the network cord from there
[01:59] <omha> quinton, yes but its kinda advanced, you just need to wait 3 seconds then it boots up
[01:59] <xyc0> eric, that would be wise since you need to download a package to the ubuntu box
[01:59] <DavidCraft> alright, I spoofed my mac address and it shows up spoofed under ifconfig however I cannot connect to ANY wireless networks.  Even configuring things with iwconfig, I cannot get a connection.  What seams to be the problem?
[01:59] <quinton> omha, so your saying to not worry?
[01:59] <omha> quinton, yea
[01:59] <AJ--> gud am.. i just want to know if theres a support for canon MP150 printer in ubuntu????
[01:59] <quinton> omha, alright thats ok!, so winrar is not suppoced to show on my desktop is it?
[02:00] <eric> xyc0: can you give me a sec to go move it then, can you help me out with this?  I have setup 3 other machines...but this is the only one running Ubuntu as regular debian won't work with the bcm4306
[02:00] <poon> mwe: apparently there is a new package replacing sysvinit called upstart, upstart records only half the messages bootlogd would log
[02:00] <poon> dmesg is the log for upstart
[02:00] <poon> gay
[02:00] <poon> later
[02:00] <vip3rousmango> i've mounted an .iso with gmount, and now i can't unmount the image in cdrom0.. how do i unmount it?
[02:00] <xyc0> eric, sure I am on AIM if that is easier too
[02:00] <bastid_raZor> umount /media/iso
[02:00] <Shirakawasuna> is evolution still this slow at syncing? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-exchange/+bug/71296
[02:01] <eric> xyc0: yea it might be...since there is alot of traffic today :) I am on AIM too...
[02:01] <vip3rousmango> bastid_raZor: in console?
[02:01] <omha> quinton, no just right click on the rar file and then extract, or you can double click on the rar files can get a winrar looking program
[02:01] <bastid_raZor> yes as root
[02:01] <xyc0> eric, I use the same name on AIM
[02:01] <quinton> omha, ok, and do i nstall everything by code in that gnome notepad you had taken me to?
[02:01] <xyc0> eric, remeber the zero
[02:02] <niko____> ,
[02:02] <vip3rousmango> bastid_raZor: says bash: unmount: command not found
[02:02] <omha> quinton, system -> administration -> synaptic for a graphical program installer
[02:02] <Stormx2> vip3rousmango: umount
[02:02] <bastid_raZor> umount
[02:02] <vip3rousmango> ohhhhh
[02:02] <vip3rousmango> wow i feel stupid
[02:03] <niko___> omha: it finds my router now, when i try to connect it stops at 57% in activating
[02:03] <quinton> omha, and thats not installed so I would go through my programs list and install it?
[02:03] <vip3rousmango> ok now its saying media/iso is not mounted (according to mtab)
[02:03] <vip3rousmango> but there is still cdrom0 on my desktop
[02:03] <bastid_raZor> do df -h to see
[02:03] <omha> quinton, yes but searching is a bit faster :)
[02:03] <twocarlo> hey can i hide icons from the desktop
[02:04] <omha> niko___, what kinda encryption?
[02:04] <vip3rousmango> bastid_raZor: and what am i looking for?
[02:04] <quinton> omha, wow, this is faster... WAY faster than vista but it will obviously take alot of learning
[02:04] <bastid_raZor> it would be /media/iso .. remember the /
[02:04] <bubbblebutt> hi everyone
[02:04] <bastid_raZor> the mount point for your cdrom.. umount that and it will be gone
[02:04] <sn0w> anyone know the resolutions to make cube caps for compiz fusion
[02:04] <omha> quinton, you just need to get you head around the basics then everything is easy :)
[02:05] <younghacker> Does anyone know the answer to this question, im trying to install VMware tools in ubuntu What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[02:05] <younghacker> kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]

[02:05] <omha> quinton, yea
[02:05] <vip3rousmango> but no /media/iso
[02:05] <bubbblebutt> Any one want to help me with synaptic package manager please ?
[02:05] <Busata> quinton: I think the other 1000 users will confirm that ;-)
[02:05] <quinton> omha, nice... Well I will contact back if I need some more help, Thank you!
[02:05] <omha> np
[02:05] <bastid_raZor> what is the mount point for the .iso ? normally the bit just before the /home/v...
[02:05] <sn0w> bubblebutt whats wrong with it
[02:05] <niko___> omha: security mode: WPA/WPA2-Personal auth: WPA-PSK encryption-tech: TKIP
[02:05] <vip3rousmango> ohhhh wait if i do umount /media/cdrom0 should that work?
[02:06] <vip3rousmango> there is nothing before the /home in the list..
[02:06] <quinton> busata, lol
[02:06] <bastid_raZor> that may work as well.
[02:06] <quinton> omha, I tried finding synaptic in my add/remove programs list and it was not there?
[02:06] <vip3rousmango> ok i'll try it now
[02:06] <younghacker> what is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel? how do i find the answer to that question?
[02:06] <lashmoove> besides preferences-->session, what is controlling what programs start at startup ?
[02:07] <vip3rousmango> says.. ../cdrom0 disagrees with the fstab
[02:07] <vip3rousmango> whatever that means
[02:07] <bubbblebutt> sn0w: I dont know I went to it to get something new for the comp and it gave me "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[02:07] <bubbblebutt> E: _cache->open() failed, please rep"
[02:07] <omha> quinton, it's in system -> administration -> synaptic, but it is more or less the same as the add remove thingy
[02:07] <russe11> Anybody have the problem with compiz-fusion that alt-tab goes two windows at a time?
[02:07] <younghacker> theres no cdrom0 mounted
[02:07] <sn0w> bubblebutt, and what happened when you ran that
[02:07] <sn0w> russe11, yea same problem
[02:07] <vip3rousmango> but it is.. because it's still on the desktop and i can double click and access the files on the dvd .iso
[02:07] <bubbblebutt> I dont know how to
[02:07] <CAL|SMeltn> I have a question..
[02:07] <bubbblebutt> im new to linux...
[02:07] <sn0w> it will skip over a window
[02:07] <CAL|SMeltn> I am trying to get my wireless network working
[02:08] <sn0w> when theres only 2, but when theres 3, it gets em all
[02:08] <bastid_raZor> you could right click the icon on the desktop and select unmount
[02:08] <russe11> sn0w: Do you have any idea how to fix it?
[02:08] <Dsbeerf> Hello someone can help me ? i just installed ubuntu 7 and im in 800x600 mode with ugly color, i have a geforce what i have to do ?
[02:08] <twocarlo> .
[02:08] <Arje1> hey
[02:08] <omha> niko___,  sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant
[02:08] <younghacker> does anyone know how to find the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel
[02:08] <CAL|SMeltn> I see the network icon in the taskbar and it has the words wireless in it
[02:08] <sn0w> russe11, naw, i looked everywhere i could find in the settings, nothing
[02:08] <russe11> sn0w: I see the problem - in the keybindings, alt-tab is listed twice.
[02:08] <CAL|SMeltn> although when I open Network Settings
[02:08] <russe11> sn0w: but my problem is I can't change keybindings.
[02:08] <vip3rousmango> bastid_raZor: and then i get: umount: /media/cdrom0 mount disagrees with the fstab
[02:08] <CAL|SMeltn> on Connections I do not see a wireless connection
[02:08] <sn0w> oh yea i saw that too, but i couldnt take it off
[02:08] <CAL|SMeltn> I see 2 Wired and 1 modem
[02:08] <quinton> omha, hm, So I have installed my game... Does it have to remain a folder with a double clickable web icon inside or is this installable too?
[02:09] <sn0w> russe11, yea exact same problem, wont let me change em
[02:09] <sn0w> russe11, maybe edit the raw config file
[02:09] <sn0w> to take it out
[02:09] <sn0w> im going to try that
[02:09] <russe11> sn0w: do you know where the config file is?
[02:09] <niko___> omha: i already have the newest
[02:09] <russe11> sn0w: I've been trying to figure that out
[02:09] <sn0w> export it
[02:09] <sn0w> then you can edit it and import it
[02:09] <mrunagi> how do you delete directories that arent empty?
[02:10] <younghacker> can u see my question?
[02:10] <Dsbeerf> for a geforce 6150 what i have to install ? gforce-glx,glx-legacy or glx new ?
[02:10] <sn0w> that way is the safest so you dont mess up good settings, export, make a backup, then change it and importa
[02:10] <dcordes> Mr_Pan, rm -r
[02:10] <omha> niko___, anything interesting when typing "dmesg"
[02:10] <quinton> omha, now that I have used winrar and unzipped the folder is is a .rpm and still will not load lol. (archive not supported)
[02:10] <bubbblebutt> sn0w:so any idea ?
[02:10] <dcordes> mrunagi, rm -r
[02:10] <mrunagi> ty
[02:10] <omha> quinton, depends on how you installed it and what game it is
[02:11] <sn0w> bubblebutt, i assume that command that it told you run failed?
[02:11] <quinton> omha, dofus... And is all I did was downloaded it and unzipped it
[02:11] <mrunagi> are there any good gnome theme sites other than gnome-look.org?
[02:11] <arje1> hello
[02:11] <bubbblebutt> yea it needs a password
[02:11] <niko___> omha: im picking up wireless networks now.. and there is no errors in dmesg now..
[02:11] <sn0w> russe11, any idea what resolution to make images for the cube caps
[02:11] <vip3rousmango> bastid_raZor: i dont know what i did wrong, normally right-clicking unmounts the image no problem
[02:11] <greg_g> hello arje1
[02:11] <omha> quinton, .rpm does not work in ubuntu you need a .dep file
[02:11] <sn0w> i want to make some but everything i have tried, just shows a solid color
[02:11] <Rex> how do I turn off XGL and just run with xorg?
[02:11] <niko___> omha: wait.. it is
[02:11] <bubbblebutt> sn0w: but I dont know what it could be, the only password that I put in was the log in password
[02:11] <sn0w> bubblebutt, sudo <then the command>
[02:11] <greg_g> quinton, a .deb file actually ;)
[02:12] <bubbblebutt> ah kk brb thanks
[02:12] <quinton> omha, ah... So I guess this linux program I downloaded works in suse? or another linux?
[02:12] <mrunagi> is it possible to successfully convert and use rpm to deb?
[02:12] <sn0w> bubblebutt, ya thats what it wants, your login password
[02:12] <russe11> sn0w: I would think your screen resolution, but can't you just have it stretch them?
[02:12] <CAL|SMeltn> I need some help with a wireless network when someone gets a second plz
[02:12] <russe11> sn0w: I remember having problems with skydome resolutions when I was using beryl
[02:12] <omha> quinton, where did you download it?
[02:12] <quinton> omha, my friend sent me the link and said it was what I wanted and would work on linux.
[02:12] <sn0w> russe11, i would assume it would but i dont know, i tried my res, and i tried 1200x1200, but im thinking it needs to be a power of 2 of some nonsense
[02:13] <russe11> sn0w, powers of two were for the skydome, but I don't know of any such limitations on the cube caps.
[02:13] <mrunagi> is it at all possible for totem to  have support for dvd menus?
[02:13] <user_> Viva la GPLv3 :D Halleluiah! (p.s. hope now the can put more of the power in the direction of making HURD :D)
[02:13] <sn0w> russe11, back in the beryl days i remember having to do that, making them a power of 2 and having to match height and width
[02:13] <russe11> sn0w: not under beryl in any case.
[02:13] <sn0w> russe11, oh ya
[02:13] <niko___> omha: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28007/
[02:13] <russe11> maybe I got lucky...
[02:13] <omha> quinton, what is the program called?
[02:13] <sn0w> russe11, still tho, wouldnt it make sense that it would have to have the same width and height, since its a cube
[02:13] <mwe> bootlogd broken in feisty. too bad
[02:13] <Shirakawasuna> anyone here tried syncing evolution with ms outlook/exchange?
[02:14] <russe11> sn0w, the caps are complicated.
[02:14] <quinton> omha, I had asked him for a program to listen to music and he gave my something... personally it istn even named... something I would understand.
[02:14] <arje1> i have a confession to make
[02:14] <russe11> sn0w, if you move the cube so it shows the top, it should exactly fill your screen, and thus, not be square
[02:14] <arje1> im a complete ubuntu newbie
[02:14] <mrunagi> what is the most popular dvd playback program for ubuntu
[02:14] <omha> niko___, try sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[02:14] <Jordan_U> russe11, They shouldn't be, any image should work as long as the plugin for its format is turned on
[02:14] <vip3rousmango> welcome to the club arje1
[02:14] <arje1> thanks
[02:14] <russe11> sn0w, but if you're looking at any side of the "cube", then the side right above is as wide as your screen.
[02:14] <vip3rousmango> =b
[02:14] <mrunagi> !dvd playback
[02:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dvd playback - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:14] <mwe> arje1: well so are 90% of the people in here
[02:15] <quinton> omha, just like... a bunch of numbers then linux.rpm
[02:15] <Jordan_U> !dvd > mrunagi
[02:15] <segas> Hi everyone.
[02:15] <sn0w> russe11, yea, ok im trying it as my native res now, 1680x1050
[02:15] <russe11> Jordan_U, I'm not sure why you just told me that.
[02:15] <arje1> i think i messed up my partitions
[02:15] <defcon> E: The package secondlife-install needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[02:15] <defcon> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[02:15] <mrunagi> !dvd doesnt tell me what im looking for really
[02:15] <segas> I have a question which seems common, but I havent found a solution yet.
[02:15] <defcon> I cant run synaptic it closes
[02:15] <defcon> any ideas?
[02:15] <vip3rousmango> segas: just ask it
[02:15] <segas> why cant I get a resolution higher than 1024x768?
[02:15] <jrib> defcon: install the secondlife package again from the terminal with 'sudo dpkg -i /path/to/secondlife/deb'
[02:15] <Jordan_U> russe11, You said that cube caps could be complicated
[02:15] <sn0w> russe11, still not working, dang
[02:16] <jrib> !fixres > segas (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:16] <Jordan_U> segas, Intel GFX card?
[02:16] <defcon> jrib, thnx trying that
[02:16] <aroo> segas: you need to give system information
[02:16] <quinton> omha, is it bad or something?
[02:16] <sn0w> jordan_U im trying to make a cube cap now, have not had it work yet
[02:16] <niko___> omha: fetch and extract firmware ? :)
[02:16] <the_walrus> Has anyone here had sound issues after upgrading wine?
[02:16] <russe11> Jordan_U, yeah, but in the sense of "are they square"
[02:16] <omha> quinton, well im sure you can install it in synaptic,
[02:16] <omha> niko___, yes
[02:16] <arje1> segas, you can edit your monitor settings manually
[02:16] <quinton> omha, i will try
[02:16] <albertmk> How can I change my iPod's name?
[02:16] <russe11> Jordan_U, kind of why it's really really hard to have a desktop on the top and bottom of the cube
[02:16] <vip3rousmango> anyone know ow a mounted image can't be mounted?!
[02:16] <vip3rousmango> how*
[02:16] <niko___> omha: done
[02:16] <russe11> Jordan_U because they stretch as you rotate
[02:16] <chadeldridge> When i start X my gnome panel is in the center of the screen but once i do properties / expand / unexpand then it goes back to the bottom where it is set to go.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
[02:17] <segas> hmm, my language was changed from swedish to english...
[02:17] <omha> niko___,  sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper && sudo modprobe bcm43xx
[02:17] <mwe> vip3rousmango: how a mounted image can't be mounted?
[02:17] <quinton> omha, so do i just search and enter the programs location?
[02:17] <albertmk> How can I change my iPod's name?
[02:17] <arje1> hmm, is any ubuntu guru willing to answer some questions?
[02:17] <younghacker> where would C header files be in my directory ,,, is it somewhere like /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic/include
[02:17] <mwe> vip3rousmango: explain
[02:17] <vip3rousmango> mwe: I keep getting umount: media/cdrom0 is not mounted (according to mtab)
[02:17] <omha> quinton, just search for it and click install
[02:17] <segas> ahh, there. :)
[02:17] <bubbblebutt> sn0w:  HAHA! it is teh win! Thanks sn0w, it worked XDDDDDD
[02:17] <mwe> vip3rousmango: from what?
[02:17] <vip3rousmango> mwe: but the image is mounted, and i can access it via desktop
[02:17] <sn0w> bubblebutt, no prob
[02:17] <omha> quinton,  then it downloads it and installs it and keeps it updated
[02:17] <vip3rousmango> mwe: i mounted it via gmount
[02:17] <albertmk> How can I change my iPod's name via Desktop?
[02:18] <younghacker>  where would C header files be in my directory ,,, is it somewhere like /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic/include
[02:18] <albertmk> I need the permition for that
[02:18] <mwe> vip3rousmango: what is complaining?
[02:18] <segas> i have this other wierd thing going on. my desktop effects is turned on and now I cant grab the "menu" on any open window...it's like....greyed out. :S
[02:18] <younghacker>  where would C header files be in my directory ,,, is it somewhere like /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic/include
[02:18] <arje1> must....keep...up....reading
[02:18] <vip3rousmango> mwe: if i right click on it to unmount i get error: umount: /media/cdrom0 is not mounted (according to ftab)
[02:19] <mwe> vip3rousmango: you need to explain what you're doing
[02:19] <nivekc1> after i draw fire in compiz fusion how do i erase it?
[02:19] <younghacker>  where would C header files be in my directory ,,, is it somewhere like /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic/include
[02:19] <bruenig> nivekc1, #ubuntu-effects
[02:19] <vip3rousmango> mwe: ok nvm it just magiclly dissapeared off my desktop..
[02:19] <younghacker> does anyone know where C header files are located ???
[02:19] <omha> nivekc1, shift + super + c
[02:19] <bruenig> younghacker, /usr/include
[02:19] <mwe> younghacker: why
[02:19] <quinton> omha, did not find
[02:20] <bruenig> !find glibc
[02:20] <mrunagi> !gtk
[02:20] <sn0w> russe11, beryl-themes.org has cube caps, but i just tried one and it didnt work
[02:20] <omha> nivekc1, you can se all actions in the compiz-setting-manager
[02:20] <younghacker> im trying to install Vm ware tools and this is the last step
[02:20] <omha> quinton, what is it called+
[02:20] <nivekc1> thanks you
[02:20] <russe11> sn0w: now that I look at it, mine aren't working either.
[02:20] <ubotu> Found: glibc-doc, libc6, libc6-pic, libg++2.8.1.3-glibc2.2, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
[02:20] <mwe> younghacker: if your headers in question cant be found the're probably not installed
[02:20] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[02:20] <russe11> sn0w, don't know why either.
[02:20] <younghacker> i see
[02:20] <mrunagi> what is gtk
[02:20] <chadeldridge> When i start X my gnome panel is in the center of the screen but once i do properties / expand / unexpand then it goes back to the bottom where it is set to go.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
[02:20] <younghacker> soo i missed one step
[02:20] <zabin> hey
[02:20] <mrunagi> i dont understand that answer
[02:20] <vip3rousmango> mwe: i opened up gmount to mount this .iso. gmount asked me where to mount it either cdrom or cdrom0 so i picked cdrom, and cdrom0 came up and then when i tryed to unmount the image because i realized i had to burn it to a disk rather than run it it wouldn't unmount for some reason
[02:20] <quinton> omha, My friend is on the phone and he told me to ask you about napshare? >>; he asks if it is legal for your OS
[02:20] <younghacker> see one installation worked there were supposed to be two
[02:21] <nils__> hey poeople im a guy from germany i search some people from my contry some one here ??
[02:21] <younghacker> ill tell the name of the one that didn't work
[02:21] <zabin> how do i disable my computer from downloading updates for beryl?
[02:21] <younghacker> brb
[02:21] <mwe> vip3rousmango: I see
[02:21] <omha> quinton, napster ?
[02:21] <younghacker>     sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:21] <younghacker>     sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[02:21] <quinton> omha, he said no and its a linux bearshare?
[02:21] <sn0w> russe11, whatever lets try to figure out the alt tab thing, thats more important

[02:21] <zabin> What do i have to do so that my computer will not download any updates from beryl?
[02:21] <younghacker> i had to install these two
[02:21] <russe11> sn0w, well I tried editing and re-importing the config
[02:22] <younghacker> the one where it references uname i didn't get
[02:22] <nils__> thank you very much see ya
[02:22] <russe11> sn0w, that didn't work for me.
[02:22] <niko___> omha: im getting a dialog where i type my passphrase and then i choose TKIP and connect.. but it stops at 57% (IP confg) and goes back to the dialog
[02:22] <vip3rousmango> mwe: yeah, kinda weird no?
[02:22] <younghacker> should i just plug in my uname 0r in this space?
[02:22] <Jordan_U> zabin, Remove whatever repository you are getting new versions of beryl from
[02:22] <russe11> sn0w, do you know how to like reload compiz?
[02:22] <bruenig> russe11, #ubuntu-effects
[02:22] <mrunagi> how do you install x11 cursors?
[02:22] <mwe> vip3rousmango: sounds odd yes
[02:22] <defcon> jrib, the package secondlife I was trying to download is currupt, how do I fix synaptic so I dont have to install it
[02:22] <zabin> jordan_U: they are in the universe repository so if i remove that i wont get any updates.
[02:22] <sn0w> russe11, compiz --replace
[02:22] <russe11> bruenig, we're talking ;)
[02:22] <sn0w> should replace it
[02:23] <jrib> defcon: do you want to remove second life?
[02:23] <sn0w> reload* it
[02:23] <defcon> jrib, it never installed
[02:23] <niko___> omha: the device is working now, ill try at a friends place tomorrow! thanks alot for helping and good night :)
[02:23] <omha> quinton, well the OS does not make it legal or unlegal
[02:23] <Jordan_U> !pin | zabin
[02:23] <ubotu> zabin: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[02:23] <arje1> any ubuntu guru about that is willing tp answer some questions?
[02:23] <arje1> *to
[02:23] <russe11> sn0w, yeah, still doesn't work.
[02:23] <quinton> omha, I would not know...
[02:23] <jrib> defcon: sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq packagename
[02:23] <Jordan_U> !anyone | arje1
[02:23] <ubotu> arje1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[02:23] <defcon> thnx
[02:23] <omha> quinton, it's the law ;)
[02:23] <chadeldridge> When i start X my gnome panel is in the center of the screen but once i do properties / expand / unexpand then it goes back to the bottom where it is set to go.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
[02:23] <arje1> sure ill try that
[02:24] <quinton> omha, hmm, Could you guide me through how to get rid of the second wait in the begging and just lead me directly to ubuntu load screen?
[02:24] <quinton> omha, It sickens me because i have OCD and I am used to windows XP
[02:25] <nconlon> when i try to start desktop effects i get the following error The Composite extension is not availble how do i fix that problem?
[02:25] <bruenig> nconlon, #ubuntu-effects
[02:25] <omha> quinton, do you still have the blinking notepad open?
[02:25] <nconlon> thx
[02:25] <arje1> ok here we go, i am running ubuntu now, but somehow i think some things arent in order. I am running a dual boot setup (win xp and ubuntu ofcourse). WinXP has two partitions and Ubuntu 3 ( / , /home and /swap
[02:25] <quinton> omha, yup
[02:25] <arje1> but on my desktop
[02:25] <arje1> i can see my windows drives
[02:25] <arje1> and cant unmount them
[02:25] <bruenig> !enter | arje1
[02:25] <ubotu> arje1: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:25] <vip3rousmango> haha
[02:26] <sn0w> russe11, ok i got it, in the config i exported, i see alt tab is set to change the application switch for the current workspace, and all workspaces
[02:26] <omha> quinton, type "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[02:26] <bruenig> arje1, how have you tried to unmount them
[02:26] <mwe> !gksudo
[02:26] <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
[02:26] <sn0w> russe11, basically pick which one you want it to do, and remove it from the other one, save, import
[02:26] <arje1> yes i did
[02:26] <chadeldridge> When i start X my gnome panel is in the center of the screen but once i do properties / expand / unexpand then it goes back to the bottom where it is set to go.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
[02:26] <russe11> sn0w, I see that too and I changed it, but when I import the new config, it doesn't change anything, and when I reload compiz, it goes back to how it was.
[02:26] <bruenig> arje1, how
[02:26] <arje1> one sec ill grab the error message
[02:26] <LordLimecat> im trying to resize a ntfs partition for someone (over vnc) off of the ubuntu boot disk, and its complaining about a missing /etc/mtab....
[02:26] <bruenig> arje1, tell me what you did
[02:27] <sn0w> russe11, ok one sec, i havnt even really tried it all the way yet, give me a sec
[02:27] <bruenig> arje1, what command did you use
[02:27] <DavidCraft_> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[02:27] <LordLimecat> and we DID delete the / partition.... but that shouldnt matter, should it?
[02:27] <omha> quinton, then go to the line that says "timeout" and change the number to 0
[02:27] <arje1> " media disagrees with the fstab"
[02:27] <russe11> sn0w, alright. I just changed the all one to match the all previous one, IE added Ctrl to it.
[02:27] <bruenig> arje1, what command
[02:27] <quinton> omha, loaded
[02:27] <SeriousStorm85> anyone know how to troubleshoot USBVISION
[02:27] <arje1> rightclick unmount
[02:27] <mrunagi> !frostwire
[02:27] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[02:27] <bruenig> arje1, what is the /dev/name of the drive
[02:28] <segas> anyone know where to find monitor drivers? :S
[02:28] <Shirakawasuna> is evolution still this slow at syncing? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-exchange/+bug/71296
[02:28] <arje1> Data
[02:28] <mrunagi> anyone know how to get a card reader working?
[02:28] <bruenig> arje1, no, do sudo fdisk -l and tell me what the /dev/name is
[02:28] <mwe> totally open source ;)
[02:28] <Shirakawasuna> (with exchange)
[02:28] <Jordan_U> segas, What GFX card? intel?
[02:28] <segas> nvidia
[02:28] <quinton> omha, it does not show anything like that
[02:28] <arje1> will do
[02:28] <omha> quinton, line 15
[02:28] <segas> i'm trying to get my monitor to go in higher resolution than 1024x768...I cant seem to probe it. :S
[02:28] <vip3rousmango> does ubuntu have any optimization features or programs? something equivilent to a registry cleaner of sorts?
[02:29] <Jordan_U> segas, What GFX card?
[02:29] <quinton> omha, theres a blank notepad
[02:29] <quinton> omha, thats all it loaded
[02:29] <cwgannon> so, i'm using synaptic and installing all these packages that i then cannot figure out how to launch ... am i missing something?
[02:29] <Busata> can you make several sessions of the same user, just to start a new X server for it? (and how? :$)
[02:29] <arje1> sda2
[02:29] <bruenig> vip3rousmango, no
[02:29] <segas> Jordan_U: nvidia geforce 7600GS
[02:29] <lashmoove> busata: what did you install ?
[02:29] <bruenig> arje1, ok do sudo umount /dev/sda2
[02:29] <vip3rousmango> bruenig: damn. nothing at all?
[02:29] <Jordan_U> segas, Have you used restricted manager to enable the restricted drivers?
[02:29] <bruenig> vip3rousmango, it is already optimized
[02:29] <sn0w> russe11, i changed it, loaded it up and it shows my new settings in there, but still acts the exact same way
[02:30] <Busata> lashmoove: as in OS type? Ubuntu 7.04 ...
[02:30] <vip3rousmango> bruenig: but i keep experiancing slowdown.. and i dont have that much on here
[02:30] <bruenig> vip3rousmango, only crap OS need stuff like that, things which are poorly designed such that they degenerate
[02:30] <segas> Jordan_U: uhm, the one where i activate 3d acceleration?
[02:30] <bruenig> vip3rousmango, go with xubuntu or some lighter DE or perhaps a lighter distro
[02:30] <sn0w> russe11 and you shouldn't have to reload compiz, the new settings take effect immediately
[02:30] <omha> quinton, okay, close it and type copy paste this "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" to the blinking notepad and hit enter
[02:30] <Jordan_U> segas, Yes
[02:30] <younghacker> when i apt-get install those packages it says that they are there
[02:30] <bruenig> vip3rousmango, ubuntu compiles a lot of functionality into its programs which sometimes slows them down
[02:30] <segas> Jordan_U: yes, i have.
[02:30] <arje1> it says command not found (using the terminal)
[02:30] <russe11> sn0w - same here, but if I close CompizConfig Settings Manager, reload compiz, and open it again, it shows the duplicate alt-tab again.
[02:30] <Jordan_U> !fixres | segas

[02:31] <russe11> sn0w - it might be enough to just close and reload CompizConfig
[02:31] <younghacker> should i be looking for some type of certain file in the directories to know if thats where the C header files are
[02:31] <bruenig> arje1, copy and paste my command
[02:31] <vip3rousmango> bruenig: ok, good to know. but it only slows down after long periods of use..
[02:31] <cwgannon> i'm installing packages in synaptic but can't figure out how to find them or launch them
[02:31] <bruenig> younghacker, install something called glibc*-dev
[02:31] <sn0w> russe11, lame hey see if you have this problem when i set the lower right corner hot spot to be hide all windows and show desktop (Same as ctrl + alt+ d) that corner doesnt work, all the others do but that one doesnt
[02:31] <younghacker> cool
[02:31] <bruenig> cwgannon, what are some of these packages
[02:31] <younghacker> apt-get ?
[02:31] <segas> Jordan_U: sudo: ddcprobe: command not found, that is what I get when I try to probe it. :/
[02:31] <bruenig> younghacker, right but that is not its real name, it is glibc something -dev
[02:31] <Jordan_U> younghacker, If you have installed the correct packages they should be in the default place vmware looks for them
[02:31] <mwe> younghacker: sudo apt-get install build-essential if you havent
[02:32] <arje1> ahh using unmount instead of umount sorry
[02:32] <strabes> Hi everyone. I have compiled kernel 2.6.21, but unfortunately my wireless card (Intel PRO/Wireless 3945) needs drivers from the linux-restricted-modules package but there is not one available in the repos. What should I do? Is a link possible?
[02:32] <bruenig> arje1, I have done that
[02:32] <sn0w> russe11, i checked the config for any conflicting BottomRight Settings but there are none
[02:32] <quinton> omha, timout                     10
[02:32] <cwgannon> bruenig: tpctl, hdaps-utils, gsynaptics
[02:32] <quinton> omha, and change to 0
[02:32] <mwe> younghacker: that should take care of standard headers and stuff
[02:32] <Jordan_U> segas, sudo apt-get install xresprobe
[02:32] <bruenig> cwgannon, those are not graphical programs
[02:32] <arje1> yes, my bad
[02:32] <omha> quinton, change the 10 to 0 but KEEP THE TAB (big space)
[02:32] <russe11> sn0w: I set bottomright to hide all windows and show desktop, and that doesn't work for me either.
[02:32] <arje1> not quite familiar with bash yet (it is bash right?)
[02:32] <bruenig> cwgannon, they are run from command line, gsynaptics I am not sure on but I know the first two
[02:33] <bruenig> arje1, umount is a command line program
[02:33] <segas> Jordan_U: i'll try that, thank you.
[02:33] <Jordan_U> segas, np
[02:33] <omha> quinton, save and close the file and your done
[02:33] <quinton> omha, good deal... so now when my machine boots it will skip the choices of choosing generic etc.? and go straight to the ubutnu load?
[02:33] <younghacker> cool man it's installing as we speak,,, thanks a million, @ mwe
[02:33] <bruenig> arje1, but it might as well be, you will not find a linux distro that does not have umount
[02:33] <omha> quinton,  yes
[02:33] <cwgannon> bruenig: how do i get the screen here http://gsynaptics.sourceforge.jp/?
[02:33] <bruenig> it is essential for anything to work
[02:33] <sn0w> russe11, yup, so i guess are these bugs or something
[02:33] <younghacker> are you familiar with Ubuntu in a VM?
[02:33] <quinton> omha, cool cool
[02:33] <bruenig> cwgannon, run gsynaptics
[02:33] <russe11> I guess compiz fusion technically is pretty new.
[02:34] <russe11> sn0w I guess I'll just go back to beryl
[02:34] <quinton> omha, now I just reallly need some musical program...
[02:34] <arje1> ok but i *think* that my other ubuntu partitions might be read only
[02:34] <quinton> omha, thats basically all I need...
[02:34] <kbrooks> test.
[02:34] <segas> Jordan_U: hehe, nothing happens with sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange, the monitor just flick, then return to prompt. :)
[02:34] <mwe> younghacker: somewhat
[02:34] <mwe> younghacker: I have it on the wintendo box
[02:34] <cwgannon> oh, i see
[02:34] <segas> Jordan_U: i feel like a complete idiot here, haha!
[02:34] <russe11> sn0w I got alt-tab!!
[02:34] <arje1> how strange that might sound
[02:34] <younghacker> wow
[02:34] <younghacker> thats cool
[02:34] <takerofforsakens> hello all needin some help with ndiswrapper installed the svn version installed without a hitch up untill ndiswrapper -l and it said invalid driver the driver was from the list using the pc id any ideas ?
[02:34] <sn0w> russe11, what did you do?
[02:34] <younghacker> im using VMware workstation now
[02:34] <omha> quinton, Applications -> Sound and Video -> Rhytthembox
[02:35] <kbrooks> all right...
[02:35] <cwgannon> i just installed beagle, but i can't get it to find anything, am i missing something?
[02:35] <quinton> omha, allows me to download music and listen for free?
[02:35] <younghacker> im trying to understand why my USB floppy isn't able to mount, its a VAIO
[02:35] <russe11> sn0w: I went to the "Actions" tab of the Application Switcher plugin, double clicked on the rows for "Next Window" and "Prev Window" in the "Screen Edge" column, and cleared the contents for "Key"
[02:35] <omha> quinton, go to synaptic and install amule or frostwire
[02:35] <russe11> sn0w, the first set of "Next" and "Prev Window"
[02:36] <arje1> bruenig my /home partitions is /logical and wrapped inside an extended partition
[02:36] <quinton> omha, yes! frostwire and limewire right?
[02:36] <younghacker> it tells me that it's not a logical block device or something to that effect but however on the other side of I/O Windows recognizes my drive
[02:36] <sperotek> hey, i just saw ubuntu extreme and I was wondering where I could get that kind of nice login window
[02:36] <bruenig> arje1, ok
[02:36] <omha> quaala, no frostwire
[02:36] <mwe> younghacker: I don't think I can help with that
[02:36] <younghacker> lol,, no worries
[02:36] <gyaresu> Trying to get DVB (usb) device to find channels/pids. So far 'dvbtune -f 774500000'(lock to frequency)  and then 'scan -c5'(find progs on that frequency) on other terminal is not working. Any advice?
[02:37] <omha> quaala, im going to smoke be back later
[02:37] <arje1> my ubuntu install uses 3 partitions: /    /home and /swap
[02:37] <takerofforsakens> any one got time to help with an ndiswrapper issue
[02:37] <MiLK^> hi :)
[02:37] <DavidCraft_> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[02:37] <sn0w> russe11, nice i got it
[02:37] <sn0w> russe11, so crazy you have to double click on that column to change the key
[02:37] <younghacker> ok better question,, my purpose of using the floppy was to do forensic labs, i know that i can mount a CD, can i use the DD command to copy from my hard drive to the CD?
[02:38] <SAM_theman> Why does firefox 2.0.0.4 keeps on crashing on ubuntu 7.04 ???
[02:38] <SAM_theman> it's really annoying
[02:38] <russe11> sn0w, yeah, you just have to find the way to just type in the key combination you want rather than press it
[02:38] <SAM_theman> I am trying to do so work and it just freezes up on mke
[02:38] <SAM_theman> *me
[02:38] <quaala> omha, what.
[02:38] <russe11> sn0w, ugh, now my "dodge" plugin is being wonkey
[02:38] <quinton> omha, frostwire was not listed, I searched under all programs and no find.
[02:38] <arje1> bruenig, whenever i try to do any file operations i get an error saying i do not have permission
[02:38] <MiLK^> Im gunna try linux for the first time, and have a few questions
[02:39] <sn0w> russe11, what is it doing, u know what else worked, after double clicking on screen edge column, i went through each one and hit return to default settings, and it fixed all of them
[02:39] <arje1> shoot MiLK^
[02:39] <MiLK^> :)
[02:39] <younghacker> don't spoof the IP
[02:39] <arje1> though mind you im a newbie myself ;)
[02:39] <sn0w> russe11, whats wrong with your dodge, mine is money, also i love the 3d ring switcher
[02:39] <UbuntuServerUser> how do i shutdown via CLI? shutdown now doens't even shutdown my computer
[02:39] <UbuntuServerUser> its ubuntu server
[02:40] <mwe> UbuntuServerUser: sudo shutdown -h now should work
[02:40] <MiLK^> firstly, my laptop keyboard is pretty broken, so i use an external USB keyboard, is this going to be recognised straight away?
[02:40] <sn0w> russe11, lower the ring height to like 20-25 and make the thumbnails huge
[02:40] <russe11> sn0w, sometimes windows aren't dodging, and sometimes the window you click on dodges around the others
[02:40] <sn0w> russe11, it looks so slick
[02:40] <russe11> sn0w, rather than the others around it
[02:40] <SAM_theman> MiLK^, yes
[02:40] <MiLK^> like will i  be able to get through the setup with a USB keyboard
[02:40] <SAM_theman> MiLK^, yes
[02:40] <MiLK^> actually
[02:40] <SeriousStorm85> does anyone know how to troubleshoot USBVISION
[02:40] <sn0w> russe11, ah yea, i know what you mean, try turning off the animations plugin and turning it back on
[02:40] <MiLK^> i jsut realised what a stupid question that is
[02:40] <sn0w> russe11, im not sure what would cause that
[02:40] <MiLK^> desktops have usb keyboards...
[02:40] <SAM_theman> MiLK^, nothings stupid
[02:41] <MiLK^> lol :)
[02:41] <vip3rousmango> lol dont worry, there are no stupid questions :p
[02:41] <russe11> sn0w, nope that didn't work.
[02:41] <sperotek> has ayone seen ubuntu ultimate edition? Is there some way to get the nice login window it uses?
[02:41] <UbuntuServerUser> mwe that worked
[02:41] <UbuntuServerUser> thanks
[02:41] <MiLK^> ty :)
[02:41] <mwe> yw
[02:41] <russe11> sn0w, but the ring switcher really is money
[02:41] <arje1> SAM_theman:  why does my filebrowser throw errors when i try to move files around?
[02:41] <arje1> saying that i do not have permission
[02:41] <SAM_theman> Heheh
[02:41] <younghacker> so can i use DD to make an exact copy of a file system from a hard drive to a CD?
[02:41] <SAM_theman> do this
[02:41] <SAM_theman> open your terminal
[02:41] <SAM_theman> and type "sudo -s"
[02:41] <MiLK^> ok so i had Vista(eugh) on a partition which i have now formatted from within XP, is that going to suffice for linux?
[02:42] <mwe> arje1: because users don't have permission to tamper with system files in linux
[02:42] <SAM_theman> and type nautilus
[02:42] <sn0w> russe11, i came from the default compiz setting in the base 7.04 setup to this, i was blown away with the config panel
[02:42] <sn0w> russe11, theres so much to change/break
[02:42] <russe11> sn0w, no kidding.
[02:42] <arje1> ah now i have root access?
[02:42] <mwe> arje1: try gksudo nautilus if you really need that
[02:42] <russe11> sn0w, the beryl settings manager was very similar.
[02:42] <SAM_theman> arje1, its saying that because your trying to move root permission folders around
[02:42] <mavsman4457> I'm having a problem with my kernel
[02:42] <arje1> well they're in my /home
[02:42] <SAM_theman> alll
[02:42] <sn0w> russe11, ya i think iv seen that before, had a ton of settings
[02:42] <SAM_theman> *ahhh
[02:43] <russe11> yeah
[02:43] <arje1> so thats kinda odd
[02:43] <SAM_theman> arje1, do this
[02:43] <underwatercow> Does anyone have any recommendations for good, quality webcams with useful features that works in Linux?
[02:43] <mwe> arje1: and you own all the files there? maybe you did sudo somthing so root is owning some files there
[02:43] <SAM_theman> arje1, is it files or programs?
[02:43] <sn0w> russe11, do your windows still snap even with the window spanning plugin off
[02:43] <arje1> just a wallpaper in my /home folder
[02:44] <mavsman4457> synaptic won't let me install anything and it complains about my kernel so when I try to change the kernel or install a new one it says
[02:44] <mavsman4457> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[02:44] <mavsman4457> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[02:44] <arje1> from a clean install
[02:44] <russe11> sn0w, yup they sure do.

[02:44] <sn0w> russe11, nice
[02:44] <MiLK^> Can i install Ubuntu over a Vista partition?
[02:44] <mwe> arje1: what are you trying to do, excactly?
[02:44] <CAL|SMeltn> is there a good link I can go to, in order to find linux based drivers for alot of hardware?
[02:44] <russe11> sn0w, so I guess just a few things are broken ...
[02:44] <SAM_theman> arje1, odd
[02:44] <CAL|SMeltn> like Mice, keyboards, monitors etc
[02:44] <arje1> i am trying to move a file from one map to another
[02:44] <arje1> well here's the thing
[02:44] <Evilbadwrong> Hi everyone. I tried installing the latest ATI X1300 Pro video driver, and then rebooted to a black screen. I'm now logged into the older kernal, but is there a way to reverse the changes made to the primary one? I'm running 7.04 dual booted with Windows Vista. Please help me...I'm a newbie!!
[02:44] <clayg> what is an easy to use webcam program/recorder  i can grab quickly from synaptic?
[02:45] <mwe> map?
[02:45] <sn0w> MiLK^ yes thats the easiest way to dual boot, vista first, leave some unpartitioned space, then ubuntu
[02:45] <SAM_theman> what map??
[02:45] <SAM_theman> into a /bin or /usr folder?
[02:45] <arje1> from /home to home/examples
[02:45] <SAM_theman> hmmm....
[02:45] <SAM_theman> Fresh install?
[02:45] <arje1> i am guessing something i messed up with my partitions
[02:45] <sn0w> MiLK^ use vistas disk manager to make some unallocated space, then tell ubuntu to go "Guided - Largest continuous free space", and it will automatically add vista do your grub menu
[02:45] <arje1> yes i reinstalled twice
[02:45] <SAM_theman> wow
[02:45] <arje1> dualboot system
[02:46] <arje1> 6 partitions
[02:46] <avdd> Any references on python2.5 on dapper?
[02:46] <SAM_theman> same here
[02:46] <arje1> first 2 are windows
[02:46] <mwe> reintalling many times probably wont help
[02:46] <Evilbadwrong> Can anyone please help me?
[02:46] <arje1> C and D
[02:46] <russe11> !ask
[02:46] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:46] <russe11> !ask > Evilbadwrong
[02:46] <quinton> omha, hey
[02:46] <sn0w> russe11, have you figued out how to blue transparent windows, like in beryl
[02:46] <Evilbadwrong> I did ask my question...scroll up. :)
[02:46] <arje1> then /   /home and /swap plus an extended wrapper
[02:46] <sn0w> russell, i turn on the blur plugin, nothing happens
[02:46] <quinton> omha, the boot was succesful, Thank you for that!
[02:46] <stinger05> hi there, i just downloaded the nvidia linux driver from the nvidia site, (with the ".run" extension), how do i install it?
[02:46] <mavsman4457> what do i say for the syntax in pastebin?
[02:47] <sn0w> russe11, and the motion blur plugin is so trippy
[02:47] <MiLK^> I phrased that question wrong - I had XP, then made a partition, installed Vista, hated it, so have been using the XP partition, which I incidentally resintalled, so I lost the XP/Vista dual booter and just have a useless partition with Vista installed on, which I want to replace with Ubuntu
[02:47] <CAL|SMeltn> is there a good link I can go to, in order to find linux based drivers for alot of hardware?
[02:47] <CAL|SMeltn> like Mice, keyboards, monitors etc
[02:47] <datacrusher> hi people
[02:47] <arje1> when loading ubuntu for the first time after install i got fsdisk errors
[02:47] <arje1> it rebooted
[02:47] <arje1> checked again
[02:47] <datacrusher> can somebody help me configuring grub on my sata drive?
[02:47] <arje1> and then ran fine
[02:47] <mwe> fsdisk?
[02:47] <quinton> milk^, i can help you
[02:47] <arje1> or fcdisk
[02:47] <datacrusher> iv searched all day long on foruns, but none of the configurations let me use windows again
[02:47] <mwe> what is that?
[02:48] <SAM_theman> you mean fdisk?
[02:48] <arje1> a program or script to check the file system
[02:48] <arje1> yes
[02:48] <sn0w> russe11, also you see any input enabled zoom like in beryl, zoom desktop is cool, but in beryl u could zoom and still interact
[02:48] <mavsman4457> ok here is the link to my pastebin and let me warn you it is a long one so please tell me if you are going to help me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28011/
[02:48] <mwe> arje1: fsck probably?
[02:48] <arje1> think so
[02:48] <mwe> arje1: sounds bad
[02:48] <stinger05>  hi there, i just downloaded the nvidia linux driver from the nvidia site, (with the ".run" extension), how do i install it?
[02:48] <russe11> sn0w, yup all the same here.
[02:48] <arje1> i think something gone awry when doing my first ubuntu install
[02:48] <russe11> sn0w, I can't stand motion blur. Makes me want to die.
[02:48] <omha> quinton, what version of ubuntu do you have?
[02:49] <sn0w> russe11, haha yea
[02:49] <quinton> omha, newest, beta
[02:49] <arje1> i accidentally wiped out my entire 2nd XP partition because i didnt mount it to / <<<<
[02:49] <mwe> there is no beta
[02:49] <arje1> instead it mounted to dev/sda2
[02:49] <mwe> only stable and alpha
[02:49] <SAM_theman> mwe, think he has a hd error
[02:49] <arje1> so it got wiped out
[02:49] <russe11> sn0w, heh now dodge is back to working.
[02:49] <russe11> sn0w, I just left animations off for like 5 mins.
[02:49] <omha> quinton, fesity fawn or gutsy gibbons ?
[02:49] <SAM_theman> arje1, what ubuntu version?

[02:50] <stinger05> omha:  hi there, i just downloaded the nvidia linux driver from the nvidia site, (with the ".run" extension), how do i install it?
[02:50] <foxjazz> Feisty yea
[02:50] <mwe> quinton: that's not beate
[02:50] <omha> quinton, frostwire should be in synaptic
[02:50] <russe11> sn0w, I'd be tired too if I rocked so hard ;)
[02:50] <mwe> beta even
[02:50] <Charles_Xavier> I have a lot of junk files in my storage folder, how do i send them to the recycle bin and delete them??

[02:50] <PTZ> join /ubuntu-br
[02:50] <Evilbadwrong> I am using 7.04, and am booting to a black screen after trying to install the latest ATI video driver. How do I reverse this?
[02:50] <quinton> omha, I scrolled down the list and searched and no find.

[02:51] <defcon> I installed the "Neverball game" and when I run it, Nothing Happens. How do I fix this/troubleshoot
[02:51] <segas> hi again.
[02:51] <takerofforsakens> needin some help with invalid driver error with ndiswrapper
[02:51] <mwe> defcon: errors?
[02:51] <Charles_Xavier> I have a lot of junk files in my storage folder, how do i send them to the recycle bin and delete them??
[02:51] <defcon> no nothing popped up
[02:51] <clayg> what is an easy to use webcam program/recorder  i can grab quickly from synaptic?
[02:51] <segas> Jordan_U: could I ask of you the link for the resolution fix again? :/ I lost it...
[02:51] <russe11> foxjazz, I might get yelled at for saying this, but for installing flash, Automatix has always worked for me.
[02:51] <defcon> defcon   19271  0.0  0.4   8680  3240 ?        S    17:49   0:00 neverball
[02:52] <defcon> its running but I dont see it
[02:52] <stinger05>  hi there, i just downloaded the nvidia linux driver from the nvidia site, (with the ".run" extension), how do i install it?
[02:52] <foxjazz> I am running the x86_64
[02:52] <Charles_Xavier> !spam | defcon
[02:52] <ubotu> defcon: 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 :-)
[02:52] <quinton> omha, I just tried to search again and no luck...
[02:52] <omha> quinton, go to system -> administration -> software sources
[02:52] <Evilbadwrong> I am running 7.04 and am getting a black screen after installing the latest ATI video driver. How do I reverse this?
[02:52] <foxjazz> the automatix would work probably, but I had to modify the install to get past the OS check
[02:52] <omha> quinton, close synaptic first
[02:53] <defcon> Charles_Xavier, it has to do with ubuntu
[02:53] <mwe> defcon: so you installed neverball and when you type neverball in a term notihing happens?
[02:53] <quinton> omha, opened and close...
[02:53] <takerofforsakens> evilbadwrong do a reboot in safe mode and remove the driver
[02:53] <foxjazz> Evil, you need to choos maintenance on the installer.

[02:53] <Evilbadwrong> Ubuntu is already installed....
[02:53] <defcon> " post large text" ???
[02:53] <foxjazz> And then edit the video config
[02:53] <defcon> nothing happens
[02:53] <arje1> mew: to solve this problem i deleted all my ubuntu partitions, formatted everything and did a clean install, same problem
[02:53] <stinger05> can somebody help me here plz???
[02:54] <foxjazz> Evil, when you boot you should get some choices
[02:54] <omha> quinton, check all boxes under Downloadable from internet
[02:54] <Charles_Xavier> defcon just join #fedora and switch to fedora
[02:54] <segas> does anyone have the link to fix the resolution to get beyond 1024x768? (with nvidia...)
[02:54] <Charles_Xavier> maybe ubuntu isnt right for you
[02:54] <Evilbadwrong> foxjazz: Yes, but maintenance is not one of them.
[02:54] <defcon> Charles_Xavier, why fedora
[02:54] <foxjazz> So what are the choices?
[02:54] <stinger05>  hi there, i just downloaded the nvidia linux driver from the nvidia site, (with the ".run" extension), how do i install it?
[02:54] <omha> quinton, then go to the Updates tab

[02:54] <Charles_Xavier> and you retard to be honest
[02:54] <quinton> omha, good

[02:55] <omha> quinton, i do not have the english version so names can be different
[02:55] <foxjazz> And now you won't get gui... you have to know a few linux commands
[02:55] <Charles_Xavier> yo upasted 30 lines of texted

[02:55] <mwe> defcon: he's off
[02:55] <Evilbadwrong> foxjazz: Ok...what commands?
[02:55] <foxjazz> such as cp, ls, cd etc.
[02:55] <omha> quinton then hit close and redownload
[02:55] <defcon> and you are reffering me to fedora
[02:55] <stinger05> firebird: why not ?
[02:55] <defcon> you dont belong here

[02:56] <quinton> omha, no program under the name of frostwire is found
[02:57] <Firebird> stinger05: you can install using Restricted Drivers in System -> administration
[02:57] <nalioth> Charles_Xavier: let us be civil, please
[02:57] <omha> quinton, then go to the blinking notepad and type "sudo apt-get install frostwire" close synaptic first
[02:57] <Charles_Xavier> im sorry

[02:58] <sperotek> i once saw a nice looking grub loader, anyone know where i could find something like that
[02:58] <[TaTsUo] > Hi, i was wondering if you knew about any UbuntuStudio Installer that fit's in a CD ?
[02:58] <stinger05> firebird: i got ur point, but how do i install the drivers from within ubuntu ?
[02:58] <GhostFreeman> !root
[02:58] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:59] <foxjazz> Evil:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:59] <sn0w> russe11 you still in here?
[02:59] <foxjazz> Evil you need to run in safe mode and run this line: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:59] <russe11> sn0w, yeah
[02:59] <mrunagi> i had to disable desktop effects to get frostwire to open but when i restarted the effects the 3d desktop doesnt work.....any ideas?
[02:59] <mrunagi> mrunagi
[02:59] <sn0w> russe11, you had any luck having compiz fusino use emerald
[02:59] <russe11> sn0w, yeah, I'm using emerald right now.
[02:59] <Evilbadwrong> foxjazz: And that will fix it?
[02:59] <SAM_theman> !rhythmbox
[02:59] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[02:59] <sn0w> russe11, when i manually run emerald --replace & its all good, and the windows are fine, i put that in for the decorator command in compiz, no go
[02:59] <SAM_theman> !rhythmbox autoplay
[02:59] <sn0w> russe11, how did you get your to launch emerald by default
[03:00] <CAL|SMeltn> is there a good link I can go to, in order to find linux based drivers for alot of hardware?
[03:00] <CAL|SMeltn> like Mice, keyboards, monitors etc
[03:00] <foxjazz> Evil, you have to do that, and it will give you config choices, and then you will be back to square one
[03:00] <Evilbadwrong> foxjazz: Ok, I'll give it a shot. Thank you so much!
[03:00] <russe11> sn0w, I don't know that it is launching by default. I JUST installed compiz-fusion, so probably when I log in again I'll have to run emerald again.
[03:00] <quinton> omha, How do I get the blinkey notepad back lol?
[03:00] <clayg> yeah and you raised your hand and !paste him, dont be  a cry baby and still wanna talk about it

[03:03] <mwe> zabin: don't be annoying
[03:03] <russe11> sn0w, alright. Feel free to /msg me if you want as well.

[03:07] <quinton> bllz, Do you mean remove FAT32?
[03:07] <CAL|SMeltn> how do I find out the name of my wireless nic card in ubuntu?
[03:07] <DavidCraft_> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[03:07] <mboldisc> lspci??
[03:07] <foxjazz> Anyone having any luck playing movies?
[03:08] <russe11> CAL|SMeltin: it should show up in System-administration-networking
[03:08] <CAL|SMeltn> it doesnt
[03:08] <mongolai> zabin, I disabled power management as my computer is old/doesn't support ACPI, but did you check the "System" menu items ?
[03:08] <IndyGunFreak> CAL|SMeltn: try typing lspci in a terminal, see if it shows hter.
[03:08] <Busata> I just watched die hard 4 foxjazz, so, yes! :-p
[03:08] <TaJMoX> foxjazz - most of us =)   open up the add/remove programs - click All available packages - search for gstreamer codecs
[03:09] <Busata> yippiekayee
[03:09] <clayg> Busata is any good?
[03:09] <russe11> Does anybody know anything about using multiple network cards in ubuntu? I have two and would like to use both...
[03:09] <Busata> clayg, well, some "o.O" action scenes, but entertaining to watch :) and it's bruce, can't go wrong :)
[03:09] <zabin> mongolai: i have a power management tab but i want to set something up like xp has where yuo can tell it not to use a lot of power if yuo are on a battery.
[03:10] <clayg> nice, you grab the ts ver?
[03:10] <CAL|SMeltn> it says Network controller: INtersil Coporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset ( rev 01)
[03:10] <clayg> and agreed bruce is the man, from moonlighting to present
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> well, that might be it, i don't know.
[03:10] <Busata> clayg, not sure if I want to talk about that in such a public channel :)
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> CAL|SMeltn: does that sound like your wireless controller?
[03:10] <CAL|SMeltn> and then Ethernet controller: Intel corp 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 VE
[03:11] <mboldisc> that sounds like onboard
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> thats probably onboard, is my guess.
[03:11] <CAL|SMeltn> IndyGunFreak: I guess so considering the other is the normal
[03:11] <CAL|SMeltn> they both are
[03:11] <AmBAr> I have Ubuntu 7.04 , and my sound module is: snd_intel8x0  and her is load, on lspci my sound card are visible, but im without sound ! alsamixer says: No such device
[03:11] <CAL|SMeltn> its a laptop
[03:11] <clayg> lol but of coarse
[03:11] <CAL|SMeltn> IBM thinkpad
[03:11] <cactaur> CAL|SMeltn: Try doing "lspci -v". That should give you more information on the make and model.
[03:11] <Bllz> quinton, i'm not following you
[03:11] <Bllz> i'm trying to mount a fat32 partition
[03:11] <Bllz> but i can't do it
[03:11] <Busata> clayg: (but yes, was very good qual)
[03:11] <CVD> Any  image creator(iso, bin/cue) for linux.. im do not want terminal
[03:11] <cactaur> CAL|SMeltn: dig through and see if any of that looks familiar.
[03:12] <sn0w> russe11, i got it
[03:12] <mongolai> zabin, I know it's possible, I just can't remember how to do it. While you wait for someone more experienced...
[03:12] <clayg> nice
[03:12] <pr4bh> hi guys, ive got a dvd with video_ts folder, how do i burn it on dvd that is readable by nomal dvd players?
[03:12] <CVD> an a deamonTools for linux
[03:12] <SAM_theman> If I install nvidia binary driver would it be bad for my computer?
[03:12] <sn0w> russe11, i just added a session "emerald --replace &"
[03:12] <SAM_theman> on ubuntu 7.04?
[03:12] <AmBAr> yes
[03:12] <russe11> sn0w, cool. Good to know that works.
[03:12] <mongolai> ... check google for "linux ACPI throttling"
[03:12] <Firebird> CVD, in Feisty you can right-click on a cd and choose 'copy disc', then select 'image file' as target
[03:12] <sn0w> russe11, but also in the compiz settings, put emerald --replace &, that alone did not work, but if you leave gtk-window-decorator, it might still use that
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> CAL|SMeltn: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2833589
[03:12] <mboldisc> I always use k3b to burn dvd's.
[03:13] <AmBAr> I have Ubuntu 7.04 , and my sound module is: snd_intel8x0  and her is load, on lspci my sound card are visible, but im without sound ! alsamixer says: No such device
[03:13] <clayg> pr4bh, not sure maybe k9copy?
[03:13] <pr4bh> ok ill try it, thanks
[03:13] <russe11> sn0w, I'm confused. What do you mean by putting that in the compiz settings, and leaving gtk-window-decorator?
[03:13] <CVD> and a iso mounter front end?
[03:14] <Firebird> CVD, good question :)
[03:14] <AmBAr> netsplit
[03:14] <sn0w> russe11, no i meant make sure you dont leave the gtk one in there, i put emerald --replace & in compiz, and logged off and back in, and it still used gtk anyway
[03:14] <russe11> sn0w, in where?
[03:14] <c_> There is something wrong with my usplash. It does not show me a image on boot up and when I press alt f1 it shows me text.
[03:14] <sn0w> russe11, so i left emerald --replace in there, and added a session to gnome to run that command
[03:14] <CVD> i have some iso, cue/bin images
[03:14] <Firebird> CVD, there are scripts to make mounting easy with nautilus... that's all I know
[03:14] <nalioth> !iso
[03:14] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[03:14] <AmBAr> ubuntu 7.04 and problems with alsa sound card... someone can help me ? please
[03:15] <SAM_theman> !nvidia
[03:15] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:15] <sn0w> russe11 window decorator plugin
[03:15] <russe11> sn0w, how do I "put" that "in compiz"?
[03:15] <russe11> sn0w, ahh
[03:15] <Kat1> what app do we use to open 7z achives?
[03:15] <sn0w> russe11 the command it runs
[03:15] <Firebird> he wants to avoid the command line nalioth :)
[03:15] <mongolai> Does anyone here know where GNOME keeps its user start-up settings. PROFtp is causing a terminal to open in /etc/proftp each time I log on
[03:15] <c_> Any one?
[03:15] <sn0w> mongolai, gnome start, or boot stuff
[03:15] <nalioth> the command line is your friend  :)
[03:15] <russe11> So you're saying putting emerald --replace & in there does or does not work?
[03:15] <Firebird> hehe, yeah...
[03:15] <CVD> i miss the deamon Tools for windows!!
[03:15] <sn0w> mongolai, gnome startup stuff is System -> prefs -> sessions
[03:16] <Kat1> nevermind, it was hidden in synaptic... thanks bye
[03:16] <EADG> CVD: What did they do? probly an equvalant to be found for Ubuntu.
[03:17] <CVD> mount lots of different types of images
[03:17] <mongolai> sn0w, thanks, but I'm actually looking for the lower-level configuration file.
[03:17] <sn0w> mongolai, ah ok
[03:17] <DavidCraft_> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[03:17] <c_> Can any one help me at all?
[03:17] <EADG> CVD: i saw a program on www.ubuntuessentials.net last night for that, don't recall the name though.
[03:18] <CVD> okmi chek it out
[03:18] <quinton> Can anyone help me with installing a theme?
[03:18] <EADG> CVD: I remeber it 'cause it does nrg images...

[03:21] <gantrixx> is there a way to upgrade to U7.04 without the U7.04 Live disk?
[03:21] <EADG> stinger05: preface the command with sudo
[03:21] <TaJMoX> stinger05 - sudo (command)
[03:21] <gantrixx> I have a old laptop (P3 500MHz) that is having a real hard time with the install
[03:21] <nalioth> !tell gantrixx about upgrade
[03:21] <mongolai> quinton, open the theme manager "System/Prefs/Themes" and drag/drop the theme file into the window.
[03:22] <quinton> mongolai, well see it came in a zipped folder... do I just unzip and drag that entire folder in?
[03:22] <russe11> sn0w, did you say you fixed the bottom right show desktop thing?
[03:22] <mongolai> quinton,  is it a tar.gz file?
[03:22] <quinton> mongolai, yes
[03:23] <sn0w> russe11, no i never got that figured out
[03:23] <mongolai> quinton, yep. Just drop it in the theme manager!
[03:23] <quinton> mongolai, it says its not supported.
[03:23] <gar> so nothing similar to filemaker for ubuntu?

[03:25] <jack|Helium> Hello, I'm having boot problems
[03:25] <mavsman4457> when I try to install a new kernel by terminal it gives me, E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[03:25] <mavsman4457> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[03:25] <gantrixx> is there a way to tell which version of ubuntu I'm running?
[03:25] <fastshark> Looking for a script to run to show system stats <processor/ram/network bandwidth>
[03:26] <Evil_Ethe1> I already have ubuntu installed on a linux raid setup and want to know if it is at all possible to install xp to a new hard drive with out reinstalling ubuntu? I just want to know if it is possible?
[03:26] <jack|Helium> on an IBM thinkpad A21m
[03:26] <EADG> gar: not up to speed with data bases, but try this... open a terminal and type; apt-cache search <string>  | less
[03:26] <AmBAr> gantrixx cat /proc/version
[03:27] <jack|Helium> its related to irda, and just started (possibly after a recent update) happening
[03:27] <EADG> gar: ... or search for database in synaptic.
[03:27] <mavsman4457> can someone help me out when they are available please?
[03:27] <mongolai> Evil_Ethe1, yes it is possible, but you might need to re-install GRUB from the live-CD later
[03:27] <gantrixx> oh my this is really old
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> or use the supergrubdisk
[03:27] <Evil_Ethe1> thats not a problem i have installed it on it's own partition
[03:27] <jack|Helium> it has to do with a script that runs at startup
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> !sgd
[03:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sgd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:27] <Evil_Ethe1> thanks
[03:27] <gar> ok - thanks
[03:28] <jack|Helium> /etc/rcS.d/S47irda-setup
[03:28] <jack|Helium> it claims it cannot execute lines 76 and 77 because the device in question is busy
[03:28] <zabin> does anyone know what the name of the application that will let you change the permissions on a usb drive?
[03:29] <jack|Helium> zabin: chmod
[03:29] <DavidCraft_> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[03:29] <zabin> thats not it jack
[03:29] <mongolai> Evil_Ethe1, then yes. Go ahead. Windows installation almost overwrites the MBR, so just use the live-CD and re-install GRUB with the appropriate changes to allow booting into XP
[03:29] <zabin> i want to change it to read/write
[03:29] <pr4bh> hi, if i were to burn a video dvd using k3b, would i need to use -dvd-compat with growisofs?
[03:29] <jack|Helium> hmm
[03:30] <jack|Helium> possibly mount
[03:30] <jack|Helium> maybe its mounted read-only
[03:30] <jack|Helium> dont really know what else it could possibly be besides those two
[03:30] <Evil_Ethe1> thanks mongolai
[03:30] <The_PHP_Jedi> where do I get beryl support?
[03:30] <pr4bh> :/
[03:31] <gantrixx> looks like I have to install from the cd
[03:31] <mongolai> Evil_Ethe1, no problem. Do you need help setting up grub.conf?
[03:31] <The_PHP_Jedi> hehe, sorry, forgot the channel and I'vebeen looking for ages in the forums
[03:31] <jack|Helium> The_PHP_Jedi: I'd look in the ubuntu forums/docs for a guide

[03:31] <The_PHP_Jedi> I've checked docs/forums
[03:31] <jack|Helium> hmm
[03:31] <The_PHP_Jedi> mavsman4457: used sudo?
[03:31] <jack|Helium> strange, I'd think they'd have it

[03:32] <jack|Helium> The_PHP_Jedi: what kind of video card do you have
[03:32] <KGB14> Hi, I have a question. I installed ubuntu on my computer on a 20gb partition, then Windows on a 40GB partition. Now, when I start my computer, I don't get a list of OS's to choose from. Any idea how to recover my ubuntu installation?

[03:32] <russe11> sn0w, what vid card do you use?
[03:32] <The_PHP_Jedi> KGB14: install windows first, then ubuntu
[03:32] <mongolai> KGB14, you need to use the live ubuntu CD and re-install GRUB
[03:32] <The_PHP_Jedi> ubuntu install will detect and add windows to grub options
[03:33] <The_PHP_Jedi> or re-install grub, yes
[03:33] <sn0w> russe11 ati xpress 1250, its been a pain
[03:33] <EADG> uptime
[03:33] <gantrixx> what is the min memory U7.04 needs?
[03:33] <KGB14> thank you :D
[03:33] <mavsman4457> The_PHP_Jedi I am so dumb I just tried that out now and I did sudo apt-get check and it tells me E: The package linux-image-2.6.22-rc2-ge5de73bc-dirty needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:33] <russe11> sn0w, huh. I'm using a completely different one - Nvidia 8800 GTS
[03:33] <mongolai> gantrixx, I think 256 megs
[03:33] <jack|Helium> The_PHP_Jedi: unfortunately, I have no experience there. I have nvidia. sorry.
[03:33] <russe11> sn0w, yet we have exactly the same problems
[03:33] <gantrixx> this is the problem then
[03:33] <The_PHP_Jedi> thanks anyways jack|Helium
[03:34] <sn0w> russe11, yea, at least we know its not driver issues then
[03:34] <gantrixx> this computer is really old

[03:34] <user123> My ubuntu ppc don't speak! someone has the same problem??
[03:34] <gantrixx> 192MB
[03:34] <gantrixx> strange number
[03:34] <Jordan_U> jack|Helium, What is your boot problem?
[03:34] <russe11> sn0w, but someone I'm talking to in #ubuntu-effects is saying he/she has none of these problems, but is using the same repos as I am.
[03:34] <gantrixx> this is an old tux topps laptop I bought about 5 years ago
[03:35] <gantrixx> I'm giving it to my niece
[03:35] <gantrixx> it is currently running Ubuntu 3.x something
[03:35] <mongolai> gantrixx,  you could try to install. It would work, but would run slowly.
[03:35] <jack|Helium> Jordan_U: a script on boot claims it cant execute lines 76 and 77 because the device in question is busy
[03:35] <gantrixx> it seems to lock up on the install of ubuntu or fedora
[03:35] <CAL|SMeltn> this sucks
[03:36] <jack|Helium> Jordan_U: its /etc/rcS.d/S47irda-setup
[03:36] <CAL|SMeltn> all I want to do is get my wifi to work
[03:36] <gantrixx> she just needs an ipod/myspace box

[03:36] <mongolai> gantrixx, use an older distro?
[03:36] <russe11> sn0w, I'm in the channel. Feel free to talk to me there.
[03:37] <jack|Helium> Jordan_U: sorry, tab complete wasn't working
[03:37] <gangrene> I recently shut down my machine, removed a stick of ram, and rebooted. Everything works fine except I cannot connect to the internet
[03:37] <Twinxorr> that's more of a place for xubuntu, gantrixx
[03:37] <gangrene> any idea why such a thing would happen?

[03:37] <The_PHP_Jedi> gangrene: checked modem connections?
[03:37] <gangrene> yes The_PHP_Jedi
[03:37] <jack|Helium> line 76 is "echo disable >$x/resources;"
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: use Xubuntu for that, it would work great, but so would ubuntu
[03:37] <jack|Helium> and 77 is the same thing except with activate instead of disable
[03:38] <jack|Helium> CAL|SMeltn: I'll read that, tnx
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: have you tried using the Alternate Install CD?
[03:38] <bahmie> Calling yourself "The_PHP_Jedi" takes some balls.
[03:38] <m1r> who knows what that PHP means :P
[03:38] <gantrixx> IndyGunFreak: what alternate install CD?
[03:39] <The_PHP_Jedi> yes bahmie :)
[03:39] <Jordan_U> jack|Helium, Can you pastebin the entire script?
[03:39] <mavsman4457> now I am getting E: The package linux-image-2.6.22-rc2-ge5de73bc-dirty needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> !alternate | gantrixx
[03:39] <ubotu> gantrixx: 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
[03:39] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: if you're having problems with the Live CD, use the alternate install,
[03:39] <The_PHP_Jedi> btw, I am *not* TheSoftwareJedi
[03:39] <gangrene> anyone have any idea?
[03:39] <The_PHP_Jedi> he did inspire my idea :)
[03:39] <jack|Helium> Jordan_U: where's the ubuntu pastebin?
[03:39] <gantrixx> !minimal
[03:39] <ubotu> 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
[03:39] <Jordan_U> !pastebin > jack|Helium
[03:39] <mongolai> !pastebin
[03:39] <m1r> gantrixx , on slower machine is better to install alternate cd
[03:39] <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)
[03:39] <gantrixx> the alternate install is on the live cd image?
[03:40] <m1r> no gantrixx
[03:40] <mongolai> gantrixx, no. It's a separate dl

[03:40] <BFrank> what is the best way to up the refresh rate in xorg?
[03:40] <BFrank> screen resolution says I am at 85, but it doesn't seem like it
[03:40] <mongolai> BFrank, what resolution?
[03:40] <SAM_theman> !ntfs
[03:40] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:40] <BFrank> 1024x768
[03:41] <BFrank> and it claims I am 85hz
[03:41] <necro_> how do i get my mplayer to play .rmvb files?
[03:41] <mongolai> BFrank, it's probably correct
[03:41] <BFrank> why can't I do 100hz?
[03:41] <BFrank> this is a mac mini
[03:41] <BFrank> and I know it can do better on OSX
[03:42] <BFrank> this sure doesn't seem like 85hz
[03:42] <puff`> BFrank: might have something to do with the drivers.
[03:42] <BFrank> it seems more like 60hz
[03:42] <mongolai> BFrank, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:42] <BFrank> I did edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[03:42] <dimas__> i would like to know why i cant have my web cam to work on flash player if configuration is good...works on ekiga and xawtv...i dont have any firewall installed and dont know what else i can do...any chat room on the net the cam display come in black...is there any body able to help?
[03:42] <BFrank> nothing so far has helped
[03:42] <BFrank> and xvidtune wasn't very helpful either
[03:42] <gantrixx> where do I get the alternate cd?
[03:43] <BFrank> the intel drivers are good enough to do glitzy effects, but my refresh rate still sucks
[03:43] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: from ubuntu.com
[03:43] <mongolai> BFrank, what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log    have to say?
[03:43] <BFrank> hmm
[03:43] <BFrank> it gave me a list of modelines
[03:43] <gantrixx> IndyGunFreak: of course, but I don't see where
[03:43] <jack|Helium> Jordan_U: done
[03:43] <BFrank> does Xorg itself actually bother using anything in the log?
[03:43] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: hold on
[03:43] <BFrank> or do I have to manually grab that stuff and put it in the xorg file myself?
[03:43] <necro_> does anyone know how do i get mplayer to play rm, rmvb, ra file?
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: whats the specs on the PC you're installing to?

[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> gantrixx: ok... hang on
[03:44] <mongolai> BFrank, it will tell you/us if there is a problem running at that refresh rate.
[03:44] <BFrank> interesting
[03:44] <BFrank> let me take a look again
[03:44] <gantrixx> is there a way to start the install without having to boot from the cd?
[03:44] <BFrank> will it flag errors with any particular string?
[03:44] <arooni> how do i get the java jre?
[03:44] <Evolution2> i cant find my windows partition
[03:44] <BFrank> so I can easily search them?
[03:44] <Evolution2> can someone help
[03:45] <arooni> and how do i change the default java jre form gcj to sun's?
[03:45] <necro_> does anyone know how do i get mplayer to play rm, rmvb, ra file?????????????????????????????????????????
[03:45] <mongolai> BFrank, either "EE" or "WW" it tells you...
[03:45] <BFrank> ok
[03:45] <necro_> ignoring me????

[03:46] <ubun2noob> Does anyone know why my Ubuntu 7.04 server can't recog my video card?

[04:05] <Charles_Xavier> do i just click it
[04:05] <Charles_Xavier> and click enable
[04:05] <Charles_Xavier> and then reboot?
[04:05] <Charles_Xavier> it says nvidia driver, should i click enable?

[04:07] <Pelo> Charles_Xavier,  x is the display manager

[04:23] <cavemen> anyone/anybody know something about amd64? I thought there would be a dedicated channel
[04:23] <datacrusher> i think the grub isnt seeing the windows partition
[04:23] <cavemen> datacrusher: good
[04:23] <datacrusher> how do i set for it to be seen befor i do update-grub again? is ther a way?
[04:23] <jack|Helium> cavemen: no, but it seems like there ought to be
[04:24] <jack|Helium> cavemen: perhaps a dedicated forum?
[04:24] <cavemen> jack|Helium: i was wondering if i can install Frostwire on this
[04:24] <KurtKraut> DavidCraft, you mentioned that you suppose that it is a Feisty problem. Can you test it on Edgy or Gutsy ?
[04:24] <duelboot> my Logitech Webcam Pro 3000 isn't working (black screen in Kopete)...any help?
[04:25] <Evolution2> can someone help me mount my windows partition because i cant see it
[04:25] <CAL|SMeltn> hmmm
[04:25] <CAL|SMeltn> ok so I still cant change the file
[04:25] <jack|Helium> cavemen: well, if not, there has to be some kind of gnutella p2p for it
[04:25] <CAL|SMeltn> "you are not root. you can not change the file"
[04:25] <Kryton012186> Good evening.
[04:25] <jack|Helium> cavemen: I don't have AMD64 though, so I can't really help
[04:25] <cavemen> jack|Helium: thanks
[04:25] <duelboot> CAL|SMeltn, su to root and then do it
[04:25] <Kryton012186> I have amd 64 but stuck with the 32 bit
[04:26] <duelboot> or run sudo before the command CAL|SMeltn
[04:26] <foxjazz> xchat gnome noob here... How do you see the users in channel?
[04:26] <DavidCraft> KurtKraut, how would i do that? i have one machine that has my work on it...
[04:26] <KurtKraut> DavidCraft, just use a livecd
[04:26] <foxjazz> ah, found it
[04:26] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: click the button under the channel list that says how manu users there are
[04:26] <DavidCraft> ah, didnt think of that.
[04:27] <Kryton012186> What run level do I init so i can get the nvidia drivers to install?
[04:27] <ce_centil> hai
[04:27] <foxjazz> I still can't get youtube to work with firefox
[04:27] <Stormx2> foxjazz: Got flash9?
[04:28] <Kryton012186> foxjazz:  Im new but i would look into your flash player version
[04:28] <Chogg> how do i remove a program from launching at startup, when i can't see what i am typing, i only have a black desktop
[04:28] <Jordan_U> Kryton012186, How are you trying to install the nvidia drivers?
[04:28] <duelboot> my Logitech Webcam Pro 3000 isn't working (black screen in Kopete)...any help?
[04:28] <Cusoon959> Can anyone help? Ubuntu has been stalled at "Setting up google-desktop-linux."
[04:28] <RustySford> hey real quick will 7.04 read/write/erase to an ntfs drive? last version I used was 6.06 or whatever and it couldn't
[04:28] <foxjazz> well I installed flash, but maybe the plugin is using the wrong version.
[04:28] <RustySford> or anyway you can make it
[04:28] <jack|Helium> Stormx2: I though flash for linux only went up to 7?
[04:28] <bruenig> Chogg, get to tty, ctrl + alt + f1
[04:28] <Stormx2> Chogg: Ctrl + Alt + F1 gets you to command line. What app is launching?
[04:28] <foxjazz> how do you set the version?
[04:28] <bruenig> jack|Helium, 9 has been out for about 6 months
[04:28] <Stormx2> jack|Helium: Pretty sure we have 9 now.
[04:28] <CAL|SMeltn> how do I actually edit a file using sudo?
[04:29] <bruenig> like an echo
[04:29] <foxjazz> sudo emac should do it
[04:29] <Jordan_U> CAL|SMeltn, sudo nano file
[04:29] <bruenig> CAL|SMeltn, sudo $editor file
[04:29] <Cusoon959> or sudo nano
[04:29] <Stormx2> CAL|SMeltn: sudo just gives you root. You can use any editor you want.
[04:29] <Cusoon959> or sudo gedit
[04:29] <Jordan_U> CAL|SMeltn, or gksudo gedit file
[04:29] <Cusoon959> Stormx2 is right
[04:29] <bruenig> Cusoon959, gksudo gedit
[04:29] <Stormx2> CAL|SMeltn: gksudo gedit... sudo nano... whatever
[04:29] <jack|Helium> CAL|SMeltn: I just use su ;-)
[04:29] <eboyjr> I've been on the #firefox channel and I can't find the Firefox directory that has the search plugin xml files. Anyone familiar with Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Ubuntu 7.04, who can help me?
[04:29] <bruenig> I use su also
[04:29] <Cusoon959> Can anyone help? Ubuntu has been stalled at "Setting up google-desktop-linux."
[04:29] <Chogg> Stormx2: kiba-dock is launching
[04:29] <Cusoon959> I need help :(
[04:30] <bruenig> eboyjr, it is in your .mozilla directory
[04:30] <gantrixx> sometimes it gets to the install part,and I click oninstall, but that is usually where it hangs
[04:30] <Stormx2> Chogg: Ask in #gnome on how to manually remove stuff from gnome startup...
[04:30] <foxjazz> Cusoon, install in safe mode
[04:30] <eboyjr> bruenig: Is that in ~/.mozilla?
[04:30] <Stormx2> Chogg: Unless you do have access to the gnome panels?
[04:30] <bruenig> eboyjr, yes
[04:30] <Cusoon959> PK
[04:30] <Cusoon959> OK

[04:31] <Cheyenne> Does anyone know how to setup a Https Svn Server?
[04:31] <RustySford> wow lots of help needed right now. just the one question from me and then it's all I need...
[04:31] <RustySford> hey real quick will 7.04 read/write/erase to an ntfs drive? last version I used was 6.06 or whatever and it couldn't
[04:31] <RustySford> or anyway you can make it
[04:31] <OmegaCenti> That, looks very wrong on my man pages.
[04:31] <duelboot> RustySford, yes, use ntfs
[04:31] <Stormx2> Chogg: Ouch...
[04:31] <foxjazz> Rusty, no problem
[04:31] <RustySford> I need to remove some virus files form a hdd and just wanna use the live cd
[04:31] <duelboot> ntfs-3g RustySford
[04:31] <RustySford> i'm not installing it
[04:31] <OmegaCenti> I have been reading the manual of man, setterm, character sets, codepages, and anything else I have gotten my hands on to try and fix this
[04:31] <Chogg> Stormx2: jupp
[04:32] <foxjazz> rusty 7.04 is so damb fast, I am thinking of deleting windows.
[04:32] <RustySford> like if I sudo mount it will it be able to erase the files
[04:32] <bruenig> eboyjr, there is also some in /usr/lib/firefox/searchplugins
[04:32] <RustySford> yeah but it's not my hdd
[04:32] <foxjazz> windows is such bullshit compared to this
[04:32] <fedor_emeliank> Does anyone knows if windows is faster than linux?
[04:32] <Stormx2> Chogg: I'm afraid i can't help :(
[04:32] <RustySford> it's a friends and he does'nt want linux
[04:32] <duelboot> foxjazz, really...I find it much slower than 6.10
[04:32] <Stormx2> Chogg: Again, try #gnome ?
[04:32] <CppIsWeird> foxjazz, try vista, i went to ubuntu after 5 hours
[04:32] <eboyjr> !ohmy | foxjazz
[04:32] <ubotu> foxjazz: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:32] <foxjazz> I am running x86_64 HA
[04:32] <jack|Helium> fedor_emeliank: uhh, I wouldn't ask that in here...
[04:32] <duelboot> foxjazz, but still much faster than windows
[04:32] <Chogg> Stormx2: i'm asking now:D thnx anyway:D
[04:32] <duelboot> my Logitech Webcam Pro 3000 isn't working (black screen in Kopete)...any help?
[04:32] <RustySford> yeah so you get what I mean now?
[04:33] <bruenig> CppIsWeird, vista after a year of using linux was such an awful experience
[04:33] <fedor_emeliank> duelboot: why not i am curious
[04:33] <RustySford> like if I mount it using sudo from the live cd will it let me erarse files from his windows ntfs install?
[04:33] <CppIsWeird> bruenig, im a windows user hardcore, i could NOT STAND vista.
[04:33] <duelboot> fedor_emeliank, why not what?
[04:33] <foxjazz> I was scanning through a video.. OMG it was so fast, I haven't seen anything like it.
[04:33] <bruenig> I actually preordered it with some vista business or something thinking I would keep it on a partition just in case, but I formatted it within a day
[04:34] <jack|Helium> VISTA: Viruses Intruders Spyware Trojans Adware
[04:34] <fedor_emeliank> duelboot: i mean... who is faster: windows xp or linux?
[04:34] <foxjazz> Vista is a virus
[04:34] <jarrod> hello i have a comp w/ under 200mb of ram what distro should i load?
[04:34] <OmegaCenti> I have been reading the manual of man, setterm, character sets, codepages, and anything else I have gotten my hands on to try and fix this. My man pages/ terminal is not formatting correctly
[04:34] <ibanex> hi all, does feisty have a default firewall? i cannot ping or ssh to the other computers on my network
[04:34] <Jordan_U> Cusoon959, Boot from a LiveCD, mount your system partition, chroot in ( sudo chroot /media/mountpoint ) then remove google-desktop with apt-get
[04:34] <bruenig> jarrod, xubuntu if you want ubuntu, zenwalk is a good one as well
[04:34] <duelboot> can't speak for all of linux, but Ubuntu and fedora are fedor_emeliank
[04:34] <jack|Helium> jarrod: I use ubuntu with E17
[04:34] <foxjazz> you could probably run windows under vmware linux and it be just as fast.
[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> fedor_emeliank: what do you mean who is aster?
[04:34] <datacrusher> pelo: 
[04:34] <Ramzi> Fedor rules.
[04:34] <jack|Helium> jarrod: slackware or gentoo would be good
[04:34] <foxjazz> who needs to boot linux anyway?
[04:34] <cavemen> hi
[04:34] <datacrusher> [Jordan_U] : i give up
[04:35] <baikonur> hi
[04:35] <duelboot> fedor_emeliank, I said 7.04 is slower than 6.10
[04:35] <datacrusher> how do i install all it over again
[04:35] <datacrusher> with dual boot for sure?
[04:35] <foxjazz> When you install something on linux you don't get the "you have to reboot" message. (at least most the time).
[04:35] <duelboot> fedor_emeliank, then again, I'm on a PIII 1.2Ghz box
 thanks ill look in to thoose
[04:35] <Kryton012186> Anyone here that can help me with Nvidia drivers?  The directions nvidia gives dont work
[04:35] <foxjazz> datacrusher, don't dualboot
[04:35] <cavemen> WTF is wrong, all the dowloadable stuff I am try to downlaod is opened by KATE? WTF is wrong with Konq??? Firefox does it properly
[04:35] <Jordan_U> datacrusher, I doubt that re-installing would help
[04:35] <datacrusher> install xp first, creating thf first partition? and after this to install ubuntu and get the dual boot?
[04:35] <foxjazz> use vmware OMG
[04:35] <bruenig> !ati | Kryton012186
[04:35] <ubotu> Kryton012186: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:35] <baikonur> I try to setup my PCMCIA WLAN interface. I want to use the hostap driver but it automatically uses "orinoco" driver. Where can I change that?
[04:35] <cavemen> for christ sake
[04:35] <Jordan_U> datacrusher, Did you try sudo update-grub ?
[04:35] <datacrusher> yes
[04:35] <datacrusher> iv told u
[04:36] <Ramzi> Kryton: What are you trying to do?
[04:36] <eboyjr> bruenig: In the file manager, why can't I create an XML file? The Create Document menu is disabled.. in /usr/lib/firefox/searchplugins???
[04:36] <duelboot> HELP PLEASE:  (pardon the screaming)...my Logitech Webcam Pro 3000 isn't working (black screen in Kopete)...any help?
[04:36] <Kryton012186> wow..... a bot respoded
[04:36] <datacrusher> i did this, i entered fdisk /dev/sda
[04:36] <booradley> i heard there was argument over windows and linux in here
[04:36] <booradley> so i had to show up
[04:36] <Kryton012186> ramzi: install the drivers
[04:36] <datacrusher> and altered the boot flag from the sda5 to up
[04:36] <jack|Helium> cavemen: uninstall and re-install kate maybe
[04:36] <bruenig> eboyjr, do it in ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/searchplugins
[04:36] <datacrusher> but didnt worked
[04:36] <Jordan_U> datacrusher, You could load grub from ntldr
[04:36] <Pelo> duelboot,  did you check in the forum ?
[04:36] <datacrusher> so i took of the flag off from the linux partiton, sda1
[04:36] <bruenig> !language | cavemen don't blaspheme mythological characters some find it offensive
[04:36] <ubotu> cavemen don't blaspheme mythological characters some find it offensive: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:36] <duelboot> Pelo, yes
[04:36] <cavemen> jack|Helium: nope, that happend in ALL installtion I've made on several coputers
[04:36] <foxjazz> booradley, was just telling everyone how fast Linuz is compared to windows.
[04:36] <Jordan_U> datacrusher, Then you could be sure that windows would boot at least
[04:36] <datacrusher> and didnt get the windows back anywai
[04:36] <foxjazz> There is no comparison!
[04:36] <fedor_emeliank> I mean this: if I run openoffice on windows xp and if I run openoffice on linux, where it will open faster??? sometimes firefox seems slower than in windows...
[04:37] <Ramzi> Kryton: I have Nvidia. Things work fine here, but UT2K4 won't run. That's why I'm in here.
[04:37] <jack|Helium> cavemen: weird, is there a kubuntu specific channel?
[04:37] <duelboot> Pelo, and checked the google oracle as well, but could not find a solution
[04:37] <user01> is there a list of wireless cards automatically detected by ubuntu?
[04:37] <foxjazz> I am running x86_64 bit Ubuntu, and it screams!
[04:37] <bruenig> fedor_emeliank, should be about the same
[04:37] <bruenig> !wifi | user01
[04:37] <ubotu> user01: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:37] <Pelo> duelboot,  did it work before and stop working ?
[04:37] <Jordan_U> fedor_emeliank, Try installing preload
[04:37] <datacrusher> i really wanted now, its a grug instaler, that could scan my hd for other systems
[04:37] <jack|Helium> fedor_emeliank: thats because FF is java (I think)
[04:37] <bruenig> user01, a good idea is to google for your card followed by the word linux
[04:37] <datacrusher> and then make a clean, beautiful grub.
[04:37] <ibanex> hi all, does feisty have a default firewall or block rule? i cannot ping or ssh to the other computers on my network
[04:37] <bruenig> jack|Helium, FF is not java
[04:37] <KurtKraut> jack|Helium, no, it is not. And Mozilla prefers it to be called 'Fx' nor FF
[04:37] <user01> bruenig: yeah couldnt find anything
[04:38] <eboyjr> bruenig: Couldn't find "/home/eboyjr14/.mozilla/fire...e400w05.default/searchplugins". Please check the spelling and try again.
[04:38] <baikonur> how can  I change the driver that is automatically used for pcmcia device?
[04:38] <duelboot> Pelo, just tried it tonight...i use it so rarely...last time I was in 5.10 (or so) and had to manually do everything, but I got it to work...now in 7.04, I can't
[04:38] <bruenig> eboyjr, create the directory then
[04:38] <cavemen> OMG ubotu!! That's hilarious, ubotu says don't blaspheme "mythological characters" to Christ? Ha ha ha, I think Chrsitians would find quite a blasphemy calling Jesus Christ a "Mythological Character" ROFLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!
[04:38] <datacrusher> [Jordan_U] : what about lilo?
[04:38] <bruenig> !caps | cavemen
[04:38] <ubotu> cavemen: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[04:38] <datacrusher> jesus didnt had middle fingers.
[04:38] <foxjazz> ROFL
[04:38] <fedor_emeliank> can anyone give me a reason to install ubuntu on the university instead of windows xp (that will give support until 2014) ???
[04:39] <foxjazz> Oh, the story on the middle finger came from the french
[04:39] <Ramzi> Can someone help me figure out why UT2k4 won't run?
[04:39] <foxjazz> It was really the fist finger, not the middle
[04:39] <bruenig> fedor_emeliank, linux has its advantages, more secure more software, free, etc. You weigh what you need and choose
[04:39] <foxjazz> The french would chop off the first finger of their enemy, so they couldn't shoot.
[04:39] <datacrusher> so , its better for jesus to dont have both.
[04:39] <bruenig> !windows | fedor_emeliank use this if you want no one here will be bothered

[04:39] <cavemen> yo ubuto has me in stitches
[04:39] <calc2> fedor_emeliank: an ubuntu release isn't supported until 2014 itself, but you can upgrade easily
[04:39] <foxjazz> And the insult would be to show their first finger.
[04:39] <ubun2noob> My video card is not recognized and can't get better than 800x600 resolution.
[04:40] <ibanex> hi all, does feisty have a default firewall or block rule? i cannot ping or ssh to the other computers on my network
[04:40] <RustySford> so will 7.04 allow erase from a mounted ntfs drive. earlier versoins would read but not write or erase. will it support erasing now? yes or no? should be an easy question to answer
[04:40] <foxjazz> ubun2noob what vidio card
[04:40] <bruenig> !iptables | ibanex
[04:40] <ubotu> ibanex: 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).
[04:40] <datacrusher> that makes sense
[04:40] <fedor_emeliank> ok guys, thank you very much
[04:40] <OmegaCenti> Still looking for help on my terminal not displaying correctly. typing reset and or clear does not fix the problem. Even across reboot the bug is persistant.
[04:40] <datacrusher> since they now would shoot with theyr middle
[04:40] <ubun2noob> foxjazz, Matrox Marvel TV G400
[04:40] <duelboot> ibanex, it's called iptables, but it doesn't stop you by default from doing ssh
[04:40] <Ramzi> Can someone help me figure out why UT2k4 won't run?
[04:40] <Jordan_U> datacrusher, You could try it, I don't know how it will work
[04:40] <ibanex> my iptables is clear, all policies are accept
[04:40] <cavemen> WTF, this ubotu got real jokes!! ---> "please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute."

[04:42] <GenNMX> Does anyone here know how to reset a LVM where the drive assignment was change for one of the drives?
[04:42] <bruenig> user01, the ubuntu wiki is noted as awful
[04:43] <duelboot> ibanex, last time I had that problem, I was using windows and zonealarm hadn't started properly...no assist here
[04:43] <foxjazz> NOOB try this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[04:43] <ibanex> duelboot: alright, thanks anyways
[04:43] <bruenig> user01, too many people are interested in posting their howtos on their podunk blogs and posting it to digg hoping to get traffic than contributing to a functioning wiki
[04:43] <duelboot> bruenig, read that and tried it already...no luck
[04:43] <user01> bruenig: then the link says This page does not exist yet.
[04:43] <bruenig> user01, ubuntu of all distros I have ever tried has the worst wiki yet is the largest
[04:43] <kambei> Hi.  I have a laptop with Feisty.  The laptop has a trackpad.  The trackpad is extremely sensitive.  It generates a bunch of false clicks, and such.  I had previously passed a kernel argument at boot to disable the advanced features of the trackpad.  As of the new kernel in Feisty, this method no longer works.  How should I go about correcting the issue?
[04:43] <bruenig> largest distro that is
[04:44] <duelboot> bruenig, support for spca5xx is supposed to be native in 7.04
[04:44] <bruenig> duelboot, k
[04:44] <ubun2noob> foxjazz, THanks.
[04:44] <user01> bruenig: bsd howtos and wikis are quite good
[04:44] <bruenig> user01, yeah because their users aren't concerned with trying to get retarded blog traffic
[04:44] <yep> Whats the command line for finding files which a certain extension?
[04:44] <bruenig> yep, locate *.extension
[04:44] <yep> thanks
[04:44] <duelboot> bruenig,  you beat me to it
[04:45] <datacrusher> well people
[04:45] <datacrusher> i give up
[04:45] <user01> bruenig: life was beter without blogs
[04:45] <datacrusher> ill just reinstall everything again, without partitioning first
[04:45] <datacrusher> since i cant repair grub.

[04:45] <datacrusher> thanks for the help, pelo, jordan
[04:45] <bruenig> user01, I wish I had a blog so I could complain about other blogs
[04:45] <user01> bruenig: and myspace
[04:45] <datacrusher> pelo: thanks man
[04:45] <bruenig> but I don't want to pay or user crappy free services

[04:46] <epp> How do i setup a dualhead(two seperate x sessions), with a ati x600 on the ati-xorg drivers.
[04:46] <jack|Helium> bruenig: host custom blog software on your own server!
[04:46] <OmegaCenti> My issue is fixed.
[04:46] <kambei> Any ideas on the track pad issue?
[04:47] <bruenig> jack|Helium, yeah 5 hits would knock it down
[04:47] <user01> bruenig: i never got blogs to begin with . . . documenting what you did for the day takes away that much time you could have done something else more worthwhile
[04:48] <jack|Helium> bruenig: but then you can complain about the cost of high bandwidth lines and computer hardware on your blog too
[04:48] <duelboot> okay, one last try tonight...my Logitech Webcam Pro 3000 isn't working (black screen in Kopete)...any help?
[04:48] <bruenig> user01, I don't mind blogs, but these idiots who post little ubuntu howtos that a two year old could write instead of putting them in a centralized wiki are community jackasses
[04:48] <yep> bruenig, I need your help again
[04:49] <yep> bruenig, if I type that command, it doesnt work
[04:49] <bruenig> arch, which is like 14 on distrowatch has a wiki 10 times as helpful as ubuntus
[04:49] <bruenig> yep, what happens
[04:49] <yep> it doesnt find the file
[04:49] <user01> bruenig: well another growing problem with the wiki i see is that its sort of patchworked together from older versions . . .
[04:49] <bruenig> yep, how do you know the file exists
[04:49] <chump> hey guys i tried installed and compiling drivers for my wifi card from sourceforge(so i could run airsnort) and it failed an messed up my wifi card now i'm trying to revert back to the drivers that ubuntu comes with normally how can i do this 3945ABG?
[04:49] <yep> and that file exists
[04:49] <bruenig> yep, what command did you use
[04:49] <user01> bruenig: in a couple more releases its going to be a real mess
[04:49] <marfeath> what is the point of the lowlatency kernel?
[04:49] <yep> when I type "ls" it doesnt appers too..
[04:49] <onexused> yep: try sudo updatedb first
[04:50] <bruenig> yep, it doesn't appear?
[04:50] <yep> it doesnt appert when I type ls too
[04:50] <bruenig> yep, ok so it probably doesn't exist
[04:50] <yep> but I can see it throuh the Desjtop
[04:50] <yep> *Desktop
[04:50] <DavidCraft> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[04:50] <bruenig> yep, what is the file
[04:50] <DishBreak> @_@ i need some help with playing .wmv files'

[04:51] <bruenig> yep, doesn't show it?
[04:51] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: what's wrong?
[04:51] <DishBreak> Ramzi, whatis your file
[04:51] <DishBreak> question
[04:51] <onexused> Ramzi: see above
[04:51] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I've been there
[04:51] <Ramzi> I downloaded the UT2k4 demo
[04:51] <yep> no it doesnt
[04:51] <pr4bh> ok, the refresh rate in xorg.conf is 80-120 still in screen resolution window it shows it to be 60? :S
[04:51] <yep> oh sorry
[04:51] <Ramzi> And it loads the title screen, and then nothing happens.
[04:51] <yep> my mistake!
[04:51] <bruenig> yep, it probably isn't there, the graphical part is wrong
[04:51] <jarrod> bruenig, what can you tell me about zenwalk server
[04:51] <Mike> how do I stop X11 without dropping to run level 1?
[04:51] <yep> but locate *.wmv doesnt find it anyway
[04:51] <user01> bruenig: does the wiki have editors?
[04:52] <Ramzi> What could be the problem, and how can I fix it?
[04:52] <bruenig> jarrod, some religious nut creates it, that is about it, I am not really a server person
[04:52] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I'm not quite sure what that is, but I think I've heard of it in reference to games
[04:52] <Ramzi> It's a game, yes.
[04:52] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: what kind of graphics card do you have
[04:52] <pr4bh> mmm
[04:52] <yep> bruenig, but locate *.wmv doesnt find it
[04:52] <kambei> Ramzi: Have you run it from the command line and inspected the output?
[04:52] <bruenig> user01, you can edit the wiki yes, kind of the point
[04:52] <Ramzi> NVidia GeForce FX 5200
[04:52] <chump> is there any one in here that knows a lot about installing drivers for linux or more over remving or reverting to older drivers ??
[04:52] <kambei> That would be the primary step.
[04:52] <Ramzi> kambei, let me try that
[04:52] <bruenig> yep, you said that it doesn't show up when you ls either right?
[04:52] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: ahh, I have a 5500, did you install the nvidia drivers?
[04:52] <yep> ls shows up
[04:53] <user01> bruenig: right but there arent specific people designation to go through and look for errors?
[04:53] <Jordan_U> !anyone | chump
[04:53] <ubotu> chump: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[04:53] <yep> but locate *.wmv doesnt..
[04:53] <Mike> how do I stop X11 without dropping to run level 1?
[04:53] <Ramzi> jack: I don't know. I installed drivers to get better resolution settings, if that counts.
[04:53] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: good cards, but kinda outdated
[04:53] <bruenig> user01, don't know doesn't really much matter, normal users check it
[04:53] <dr_willis> Mike,  kill the gdm service
[04:53] <marfeath> Mike: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop is what I use
[04:53] <jack|Helium> !nvidia
[04:53] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:53] <Ramzi> I also tried to use the unsafe drivers from the application manager, or something like that
[04:53] <Jordan_U> yep, locate takes time to update its database, try find for recent files
[04:53] <Mike> ty
[04:53] <Ramzi> Yeah, I saw that guide already.
[04:53] <jack|Helium> !nvidia > Ramzi
[04:53] <chump> jordan_U well i asked it and no one said anything
[04:53] <yep> Jordan_U, what do you mean try to find for recent files?
[04:53] <bruenig> yep is super confusing
[04:54] <dr_willis> 'sudo updatedb' will force  the locate database to get updated..   and that can take some time. :)
[04:54] <yep> bruenig, when I said that ls doesnt show up, it was my mistake...
[04:54] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: you need to install the proprietary drivers (restricted). The upside is that you can do beryl.
[04:54] <Jordan_U> yep, locate won't show files it hasn't indexed yet
[04:54] <bruenig> yep, so it does showup you say
[04:54] <bruenig> show up*
[04:54] <jack|Helium> !effects > Ramzi
[04:54] <DishBreak> @_@ i've installed w32codecs
[04:54] <m1r> i have just lost my cube from feisty :/
[04:54] <Ramzi> How can I find out where the shortcut leads to, that is, so I can launch the game from the terminal?
[04:54] <m1r> any tip to reanable it?
[04:55] <OmegaCenti> Would anyone happen to know how to configure the virtual terminals on tty1-6 such as font, resolution, rowsxcolumns, background color, foreground colors... etc etc...
[04:55] <yep> bruenig, let me try updatedb then
[04:55] <DishBreak> m1r: cube?
[04:55] <DishBreak> what cube?
[04:55] <Cheyenne> Can anyone help me?
[04:55] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: in the icon proporties
[04:55] <m1r> 3d desktop
[04:55] <DishBreak> oh
[04:55] <bruenig> yep, ok whatever, perhaps you might try one of the non english channels next time they are better for those who are not native speakers
[04:55] <user01> bruenig: i thought gaim was called pidgin now?
[04:55] <m1r> desktop effects only wooble windows
[04:55] <bruenig> user01, yes
[04:55] <dr_willis> OmegaCenti,  you can set the fonts.. and the res if using the framebuffer. but thats about it.
[04:55] <DishBreak> system -> preferences -> desktop effects
[04:55] <DavidCraft> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[04:55] <jack|Helium> mlr: have you the appropriate drivers?
[04:56] <m1r> dishbreak , it dont change anything
[04:56] <yep> updating the database make it works now
[04:56] <dr_willis> OmegaCenti,  i guess ya could do some other eye candy with the framebuffer console also. but i normally disable that all.
[04:56] <Ramzi> I see, "Add launch to menu" "Add launcher to Desktop"
[04:56] <Cusoon959> trying to install google desktop in rescue mode didn't help at all
[04:56] <OmegaCenti> dr_willis: using framebuffer eh? how can I tell if I am using the framebuffer?
[04:56] <m1r> jack,  i think so
[04:56] <user01> bruenig: hmmm must not be stable yet then mine still says gaim
[04:56] <clutepc> goober
[04:56] <Cusoon959> Same prob as earlier
[04:56] <yep> bruenig, good job, updating the database makes it work out
[04:56] <Cusoon959> Any suggestions?
[04:56] <dr_willis> OmegaCenti,  its enabled by default. :) i always disable it. It makes the consoles slower.
[04:56] <bruenig> user01, no it is perfectly stable, ubuntu tends to lag behind in updates, it will be out in the next version of ubuntu
[04:57] <OmegaCenti> dr_willis: assume I messed with xorg.conf and it might be off atm... how would I check to know if its on?
[04:57] <m1r> nothing happenes when i enable or disable effects, only woobly windows working
[04:57] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: sorry, that was KDE instrucions, you're in gnome. Go to system/settings/main menu  and find the icon. click edit, and you should be able to see it
[04:57] <Ramzi> How can I run UT2K4 from my terminal?
[04:57] <vladuz976> does the ubuntu website have some utility to search packages like the debian.com/packages ?

[05:09] <Ramzi> i have a file on my desktop called NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run
[05:09] <cables> Ramzi, go to System>Administration>Restricted Drivers Manager
[05:09] <Ramzi> Yes, I changed to the restrcited drivers once but it didn't fix it.
[05:09] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: repositories, i.e. in synaptic
[05:09] <Ramzi> Hmm...
[05:09] <Ramzi> Well, I didn't try running the game as root under the restricted drivers
[05:09] <karsten> cables: Doh!  I'd tried .org.
[05:09] <Ramzi> Maybe that will fix it
[05:09] <xjkx> i ran apt-get install gmplayer and didnt work, whats the alternative media source?
[05:09] <karsten> cables: Thanks!
[05:09] <bruenig> xjkx, gmplayer is not an application, mplayer is
[05:09] <cables> karsten, no problem
[05:10] <Ramzi> Alright. Let me try to load the restricted drivers again, and run in root, to see if that fixes anything.
[05:10] <bruenig> xjkx, gmplayer is a file that ships with mplayer and is merely a symlink to mplayer which tells mplayer to launch with a skin
[05:10] <xjkx> bruenig: but i cant use equalizer on mplayer :< whats the hotkey then?
[05:10] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: if it doesn't, my guess if it doesn't is to set the nvidia stuff up for beryl as in this guide:
[05:10] <Rug> I am not new to linux or ubuntu, I have just re-installed after a hardware melt-down.  I have the restricted drivers installed, but I cannot get glx to load.  Suggestions?
[05:10] <xjkx> I want the screen to be more lighten
[05:10] <jack|Helium> !effects > Ramzi
[05:10] <bruenig> xjkx, run gmplayer
[05:10] <cables> bruenig, did you check out ~/.gconf?
[05:10] <bruenig> I don't have gnome
[05:10] <xjkx> bruenig: it gives me erros, mplayer runs fine, strange
[05:11] <xjkx> Thats why i want to reinstall gmplayer
[05:11] <Shadou> i have an External drive, how do I set it so I own it?
[05:11] <foxjazz> Great, youtube now works!
[05:11] <OmegaCenti> Would anyone happen to know how to configure the virtual terminals on tty1-6 such as font, resolution, rowsxcolumns, background color, foreground colors... etc etc...?
[05:11] <xjkx> [MGA]  Couldn't open: /dev/mga_vid (on gmplayer)
[05:11] <bobgill1> Is there a cmd in terminal to bring up a calendar in it
[05:11] <Rug> Shadou: chown _you_:_you_ /path/to/drive
[05:12] <bruenig> are there any good pdf viewers beside evince
[05:12] <Rug> bruenig: kpdf is decent
[05:12] <bruenig> not kde
[05:12] <sevk> here is 11:10 AM ,and you?
[05:12] <Shadou> i tried chown and it doesnt work
[05:13] <Rug> Shadou: did you sudo first?
[05:13] <Shadou> yes
[05:13] <Rug> show me what you typed
[05:13] <jack|Helium> Anyone know how to get the places/system menus to show up under E17?
[05:13] <Shadou> sudo chown shadou:shadou "Shadou's External"
[05:14] <astronouth7303>  Where did ltoa() go in my C++ installation on Ubuntu?
[05:14] <Rug> Shadou: not good enough.  You need to type the full path to the mounted drive.
[05:14] <Shadou> oh
[05:14] <Shadou> picky
[05:14] <Shadou> one oment
[05:14] <Shadou> moment
[05:14] <Rug> Shadou: like this:   sudo chown Shadou:shadou /media/usbdrive
[05:15] <Shadou> does it want the name of the drive?
[05:15] <Shadou> in the path?
[05:15] <Gran> Oi gente...
[05:15] <Rug> Shadou: wherever the drive is mounted
[05:15] <Gran> alguem br?
[05:15] <cafuego> Shadou: If that's a fat32 drive, chown won't work
[05:15] <cafuego> !br
[05:15] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[05:15] <Rug> cafuego: good catch

[05:16] <Gran> #ubuntu-br
[05:16] <Trixsey> ysir
[05:16] <Trixsey> what+
[05:16] <jack|Helium> Trixsey: using alsa?
[05:16] <Trixsey> jack|Helium, OSS
[05:16] <Trixsey> i dont use alsa
[05:16] <jack|Helium> Trixsey: try system/setting/sounds
[05:16] <Jordan_U> Trixsey, Why?
[05:17] <jack|Helium> Jordan_U: thats what I was about to ask
[05:17] <Trixsey> Jordan_U, if i use alsa ai have to put alsa as a warapper around all my programs using sound no?
[05:17] <Ramzi> jack: It works! Yay!
[05:17] <Cheyenne> Can anyone help me?
[05:17] <mdszepher> Hello
[05:17] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: glad I can be of help
[05:17] <Shadou> Rug: it gives me: chown: changing ownership of `/media/Shadou\'s External': Read-only file system
[05:17] <oscurochu> where can i report bugs?
[05:17] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: have fun playing!
[05:17] <Trixsey> also i use xfi, and it only finds the mic (not my sound).. but the sound is working and the mic is not
[05:18] <Jordan_U> Trixsey, No, they just use ALSA...
[05:18] <Rug> Shadou: is it fat32 or ntfs?
[05:18] <Ramzi> But now my res sucks because of the different driver, and is there a way I can run the game, *not* as root?
[05:18] <Shadou> i have no idea
[05:18] <Shadou> ^.^
[05:18] <HamHamT> hello everybody
[05:18] <olskolirc> where can i get that pdf doc called advanced bash scripting
[05:18] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: dunno there...
[05:18] <Rug> where/with what did you format the drive?
[05:18] <mdszepher> Is there a line, or do I just ask away?
[05:18] <foxjazz> Hi Ham
[05:18] <Shadou> oh
[05:18] <Shadou> i formatted it on Windows
[05:18] <Shadou> so NTFS i guess
[05:18] <Cheyenne> Anyone know about Subversion?
[05:18] <GenNMX> http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=advanced+bash+scripting - 1) http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/abs-guide.pdf
[05:18] <Jordan_U> Trixsey, You have to use a wrapper with OSS only applications but there are very few of those
[05:18] <Rug> Shadou: therefore it's ntfs or fat32
[05:18] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: If you have an icon for it, try adding gksudo before the command
[05:19] <GenNMX> olskolirc: Google is your friend...sheesh
[05:19] <Shadou> okay?
[05:19] <HamHamT> I've been having trouble increasing my resolution past the defaults, I have an ATI Graphics Controller, can somebody help me out?
[05:19] <olskolirc> thanks
[05:19] <Rug> Shadou: you cannot change permissions on ntfs drives
[05:19] <Ramzi> What does that do?
[05:19] <Shadou> what :(
[05:19] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: In the icon proporties. it'll just ask for your password like synaptic
[05:19] <Shadou> why not?
[05:19] <Tom[laptop_waiti> how do i switch to root
[05:19] <Jordan_U> Shadou, Are you trying to write to it?
[05:19] <Rug> NTFS = MS
[05:19] <Shadou> yeah, I'm trying to write to it
[05:19] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | Shadou
[05:19] <ubotu> Shadou: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[05:19] <Shadou> :D
[05:19] <Shadou> thanks
[05:20] <Jordan_U> Shadou, np
[05:20] <Rug> Shadou: but be warned that you might lose all of your data
[05:20] <Tom01> how do i switch to root
[05:20] <Shadou> D:
[05:20] <HamHamT> How do you make your resolution higher than the defaults?
[05:20] <Ramzi> Okay. It works. What is the difference between sudo and gksudo
[05:20] <Jordan_U> Rug, ntfs-3g is perfectly stable
[05:20] <Ramzi> And is there a way I can remove the password prompt?
[05:20] <Jordan_U> !gksudo | Ramzi
[05:20] <ubotu> Ramzi: 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
[05:20] <yep> If I want to have root permition I have to type "sudo" on the terminal. How can I have root permition on the Desktop?
[05:20] <Rug> Tom01: I usually do this:   sudo passwd and then su
[05:20] <pr4bh> hi guys, is there any way i can find out FPS of an .avi movie?
[05:21] <Tom01> kk ty
[05:21] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: sudo is for terminal, gksudo is for anything that's not in the terminal, e.g. the "run" dialog, and icons, and scripts that aren't in a term
[05:21] <Ramzi> So... running stuff in sudo is dangerous but running stuff in gksudo is safe
[05:21] <DavidCraft> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[05:21] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I had to use it in some networking scripts
[05:21] <mdszepher> I seem to be getting disconnected from my wireless router about 10 minutes from when I first connect.  After about 10 minutes, I am disconnected, and unable to reconnect unless I restart my computer.
[05:21] <vladuz976> is there an easy application to produce simple movies? I need to make a simple slide show with music for a tradeshow? What about connecting to projectors from an ubuntu running laptop, are there compatibility issues?
[05:21] <Rug> Jordan_U: 100% stable and guaranteed not to fsck up?  never.   It might be fine on a thousand boxes, but could still screw up 1
[05:21] <Jordan_U> Ramzi, Only GUI applications
[05:21] <yep>  If I want to have root permition I have to type "sudo" on the terminal. How can I have root permition on the Desktop?
[05:22] <Jordan_U> Rug, That is true of anything
[05:22] <Ramzi> I guess I don't understand the philosophy of root
[05:22] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: Jordan_U's description is better than mine
[05:22] <Rug> Jordan_U: yes, and my warning is still valid.
[05:22] <Jordan_U> Rug, I thought you were talking about ntfs-3g
[05:22] <jack|Helium> Ramzi:  are you a switching windows user?
[05:22] <pr4bh> guess not :S
[05:22] <Ramzi> jack: Of course
[05:22] <HamHamT> Can somebody help me getting a higher resolution?
[05:22] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: there's really no windows equivalent
[05:22] <Jordan_U> HamHamT, What GFX card?
[05:23] <HamHamT> ATI Radeon 9200 Series
[05:23] <Ramzi> HamHamT: I think I'll be doing that in a few seconds also. The command is ... dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:23] <Jordan_U> HamHamT, Have you tried restricted manager?
[05:23] <kikkymonk> how can I get my logitech MX510 mouse to work?
[05:23] <Rug> I have lost a lot of data trying to use ntfs-3g.  But it has also worked most of the time for me.   Now I avoid it.
[05:23] <Trixsey> Jordan_U, how do I set it up then
[05:23] <HamHamT> I'm switching from Windows and have no idea how Linux works, so no clue @Jordan_U
[05:23] <Ramzi> jack: I mean, I'm the only user of this computer. Why can't I just be considered root all the time?
[05:23] <Jordan_U> Rug, Did you loose data using it before it was 1.0 ?
[05:24] <Ramzi> is it so no malicious applications install stuff without me giving it permission
[05:24] <Cheyenne> Anyone know about Subversion?
[05:24] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: It's like the system administrator, but WAY more powerful. It can pretty much do anything to the system. Thats why you're not supposed to use it unless you're doing administration/really, really know what your doing, because iit's easy to mess stuff up
[05:24] <Shadou> That link you gave me told me 7.04 could write to NTFS though i cannot
[05:24] <HamHamT> @Ramzi: I got this error: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure must be run as root
[05:24] <HamHamT> What's that mean?
[05:24] <Jordan_U> HamHamT, Try System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[05:24] <Ramzi> HamHamT: put the word "sudo" in front of the command
[05:24] <Cheyenne> Anyone know about Subversion?
[05:24] <Jordan_U> Shadou, You need to install ntfs-config and enable writing
[05:24] <nirmal> i am on fiesty with AMD sempron and i am unable to enable desktop effects
[05:24] <farcl0ud> is there a good radio scanner for ubuntu ?
[05:24] <Jordan_U> nirmal, What GPU?
[05:25] <HamHamT> @Jordan_U: Says my hardware doesn't need any restricted drivers.
[05:25] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: pretty much everything in linux is SUPPOSED to work without root permissions...
[05:25] <nirmal> its via
[05:25] <Ramzi> Alright. Thanks again jack.
[05:25] <Ramzi> Bye bye.
[05:25] <Trixsey> Jordan_U, audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing.

[05:25] <Shadou> i currently don't have internet on my Linux machine, how do i get ntfs-config...
[05:26] <user20000> How can I rename my pendriver's name?
[05:26] <Jordan_U> Trixsey, For what program?
[05:26] <farcl0ud> is there a good radio scanner for ubuntu, eh?
[05:26] <pr4bh> why do all the divx or xvid movies run jerkily on my intel 915gm based laptop?
[05:26] <Rug> Jordan_U: yes and no.   =)    originally tried with version .7 (IIRC) and then later with a more recent version.  Lost data both times.  But it has worked ok several other times too.  I just do not trust it 1%.
[05:26] <Jordan_U> Shadou, packages.ubuntu.com
[05:26] <user20000> How can I rename my pendriver's name? even "sudo rename.." doesnt work
[05:26] <DavidCraft> i am having trouble. when i spoof my wireless interface (ath0) i cannot connect to my wireless router anymore. it acts as if my encryption password is wrong or something. the nm-applet application repeatedly asks me for my wep key, and when watching iwconfig, all looks normal, just no connection. anyone have any ideas?
[05:26] <farcl0ud> anybody?
[05:26] <nirmal> jordon_U: how can i know my GPU
[05:26] <pr4bh> its not VERY jerky but still i dont think im getting good enough FPS
[05:26] <greg_g> farcl0ud, if no one knows the answer right now, try back in an hour or something
[05:26] <jack|Helium> nirmal: lshw ;-)
[05:26] <Falstiu1> is there a 'proper' way to add another superuser like the original user (belonging to all of the special groups)?  Ofcourse search and replace in /etc/group is my first thought.
[05:26] <HamHamT> @Ramsi: how do I find my Video Card's Bus Identifier?
[05:27] <Jordan_U> Rug, Unless you tried a stable version you can't blame it for not being stable
[05:27] <greg_g> farcl0ud, people will answer if they know the answer
[05:27] <nirmal> ok
[05:27] <farcl0ud> ok, thanks greg
[05:27] <greg_g> farcl0ud, no worries
[05:27] <HamHamT> @Ramzi: or do I just put in the default?
[05:27] <GenNMX> HamHamT: X --scanpci or lspci
[05:27] <user20000> How can I rename my pendriver's name? even "sudo rename.." doesnt work
[05:27] <HamHamT> @GenN: says I'm not authrized to run the X server.
[05:27] <Rug> Jordan_U: I am not blaming anybody except MS for 'patching' ntfs and making life more difficult on Linux devs.
[05:28] <bruenig> user20000, your pendrivers name?
[05:28] <Jordan_U> user20000, You mean the disklabel?
[05:28] <user20000> bruenig, exactly
[05:28] <dr_willis> user20000,  try rightr clcking on the icon and use the properties?
[05:28] <GenNMX> HamHamT: sudo X --scanpci
[05:28] <bruenig> user20000, you don't rename, it is assigned a name by udev
[05:28] <Rug> I am not new to linux or ubuntu, I have just re-installed after a hardware melt-down.  I have the restricted drivers installed, but I cannot get glx to load.  Suggestions?
[05:28] <user20000> dr_willis, impossible, I have no permition
[05:28] <HamHamT> @Gen: can you explain the sudo command? I've heard it alot
[05:28] <farcl0ud> im finally learning how to install packages lol
[05:28] <dr_willis> user20000,  does your user even have write permission to the device?
[05:29] <Jordan_U> Rug, I never said you were blaming anybody, but I trust the ntfs-3g devs that they have a stable product
[05:29] <user20000> bruenig, if I use Vista it renames. In Ubuntu , it doesnt
[05:29] <GenNMX> HamHamT: Allows your default ubuntu user to run a command with root (highest) privledges
[05:29] <bruenig> user20000, right, well vista handles drives differently than linux

[05:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:29] <user20000> dr_willis, no, thats why it doesnt work. Id like to know how to have such permition
[05:29] <dr_willis> user20000,  so now we are to the actual problem.. is this a vfat, or ntfs formated usb thing?
[05:29] <user20000> bruenig, anyidea about having such permition?
[05:29] <user20000> dr_willis, it is a iPod
[05:30] <bruenig> user20000, you are talking about renaming the drive itself, not renaming files on it right?
[05:30] <Cheyenne> Anyone know about Subversion?
[05:30] <user20000> bruenig, exactly
[05:30] <dr_willis> user20000,  no idea then. I never used one.

[05:30] <GigaClon> Cheyenne, whats your question
[05:30] <user20000> thanks, let me take a look.
[05:30] <bruenig> user20000, you can't
[05:31] <raddy> Hello Everybody
[05:31] <Cheyenne> How do I setup a HTTPS SVN Server?
[05:31] <user20000> bruenig,  :-(
[05:31] <bruenig> user20000, just like you can't rename hard drives
[05:31] <bruenig> user20000, it doesn't matter
[05:31] <user20000> bruenig, I will have to restart then hehe
[05:31] <HamHamT> @Gen: When I insert the command this big list of commands comes out and says Fatal Server Error: Unrecognized option: --scanipci
[05:31] <GenNMX> HamHamT: sudo X --scanpci
[05:31] <GigaClon> Cheyenne, no clue
[05:32] <HamHamT> @Gen: Yeah, thats what I'm doing.
[05:32] <GigaClon> Cheyenne, try subversion.tirgris.org
[05:32] <pr4bh> guys, how do i turn config_preempt off?
[05:32] <GenNMX> HamHamT: sudo X -scanpci ?
[05:32] <GigaClon> tigris
[05:32] <Trixsey> Jordan_U, i put to use alsa in the sound manager
[05:32] <Trixsey> and it says that
[05:32] <HamHamT> @Gen: then I get this: Server is already active for display 0
[05:32] <HamHamT>         If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
[05:32] <HamHamT>         and start again.
[05:33] <HamHamT> @Gen: could it be that I have two terminals open?
[05:33] <GenNMX> HamHamT: Well then the server is already running...try CTRL+ALT+F7
[05:33] <kikkymonk> how do i get my backwards and forwards buttons on my mouse to work?
[05:33] <HamHamT> @Gen: Can't close the other one because I'm using the other one to make my resolution bigger but its asking for my bus identifier.
[05:34] <bruenig> kikkymonk, you don't generally

[05:34] <Ramzi> Hey jack. :-(
[05:34] <bruenig> just use mouse gestures, that is what I use
[05:34] <bruenig> or use rocker, then it is pretty much the same as back and forward
[05:34] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: yeah?
[05:34] <HamHamT> Ramzi: What did you put for your bus identifier?
[05:34] <Ramzi> So I just reconfigured my xorg to get better res. Now I have better res, the game won't run again.
[05:34] <GenNMX> HamHamT: Then just do lscpi and look for "VGA Controller"
[05:35] <Ramzi> HamHamT: Just push okay for whatever it defaults to. Then when you get to the screen res page, select all the resses you want
[05:35] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: what error?
[05:35] <HamHamT> Ramzi: ah thats much easier lol
[05:35] <HamHamT> Gen: thanks for the help :)
[05:35] <foxjazz> I am still having problems installing stuff.
[05:35] <Ramzi> jack: So basically I have to choose between having a game and shitty res, or good res and no game

[05:36] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: hold on

[05:37] <ubotu> Rug: 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.
[05:37] <farcl0ud> compile what, brueing?
[05:37] <bruenig> farcl0ud, stuff
[05:37] <nirmal> now both beryl and compiz are merged

[05:37] <farcl0ud> ok.....
[05:37] <ste-foy> Hello here :)
[05:37] <farcl0ud> I am trying to get an fm radio program to work...
[05:38] <farcl0ud> not having much luck
[05:38] <Rug> nirmal: so is it beryl I 'should' install?
[05:38] <ste-foy> compiz ? heum compiz is dead
[05:38] <nirmal> comp-compiz

[05:38] <epp> Beryl>compiz
[05:38] <farcl0ud> heheh
[05:38] <DishBreak> why won't .wmv's work for me? i've installed w32codecs, xine, gstreamer, ffmpeg. am i missing something here? .wma/.mp3 works
[05:38] <DishBreak> pleaaase help
[05:38] <DishBreak> i've been at this for hours
[05:38] <Ramzi> I'm scared. This seems like a bit much.
[05:39] <retour> Hi community! I have freshly installed 7.04. What is default newsreader here?
[05:39] <foxjazz> Dish, install gnash
[05:39] <DishBreak> gnash?
[05:39] <Cheyenne> How do I setup a HTTPS SVN Server?
[05:39] <DishBreak> ok
[05:39] <farcl0ud> beryl>compiz
[05:39] <farcl0ud> lol
[05:39] <nirmal> jack: shall i install beryl and try?
[05:39] <epp> hehe
[05:39] <foxjazz> gnash is the movie player
[05:39] <Rug> DishBreak: some WMV files are encrypted (espically if encoded with v9)
[05:39] <foxjazz> Rug, tru
[05:39] <foxjazz> wmv's are cool.
[05:40] <Rug> I'll stick with x.264
[05:40] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: ok, as root, run "nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals"
[05:40] <sue47> is there any reason why i would have a bunch of kde crap showing up in the system monitor?
[05:40] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: then restart X. If you want to mess with the res, you can. I think that will fix it.
[05:40] <Ramzi> jack: Before I get myself in too deep...
[05:40] <Ramzi> Is there a way I could just toggle between different xorg conf files?
[05:41] <retour> Is Evolution able toread news?
[05:41] <saxartist> what do you guys do when you're bored?
[05:41] <Ramzi> You know what I mean? Keep the one that plays the game, keep the one that has good res. And just write a script to change em as I like?
[05:41] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: make a script to switch them when it's run
[05:41] <saxartist> Ramzi: That's a cool idea
[05:41] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: If you do this, I'm hoping you should only need one.
[05:41] <sue47> i dont even have kde installed thats why i dont understand why kde crap is showing up
[05:42] <foxjazz> I think linux is freaking awesome
[05:42] <lashmoove> ive scoured the web... can jack use all the channels on my audigy card, and not JUST the front 2 channels?
[05:42] <ubuntu_user> I would like to download a software that converts youtube's videos to mp3
[05:42] <Ramzi> jack: The restricted driver needs a restart to kick in. Is that a restart of X, or a restart of Ubuntu as a whole?
[05:42] <ubuntu_user> I would like to download a software that converts youtube's videos to mp3. I cannot find a software for that on google.com
[05:42] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: the whole ubuntu
[05:42] <ubuntu_user> !youtube
[05:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about youtube - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:42] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: could that be it?
[05:42] <eboyjr> I forgot how to make it so the programs do not group together?
[05:42] <Ramzi> jack: Ah, then the script would suck. I'm not gonna wait for a restart everytime
[05:42] <ubuntu_user> I would like to download a software that converts youtube's videos to mp3. I cannot find a software for that on google.com
[05:43] <retour> ubunt_user: flv to mp3???? music files?
[05:43] <dr_willis> ubuntu_user,  theres a web site that can convert them to .avi, and ffmpeg can convert them also.
[05:43] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: no, it only need a complete restart once after you install it
[05:43] <eboyjr> ubuntu_user: You mean mp4?
[05:43] <jack|Helium> if you switch xorg.conf, it only needs restart of X
[05:43] <Ramzi> jack: I pasted the command you gave me. Here's what I got back.
[05:43] <Ramzi> Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf". Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" added to Screen "Default Screen".  ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'.
[05:43] <kinection> how would i change the default music player? it doesn't seem to be in 'preferred applications'
[05:43] <ubuntu_user> I mean mp3 :-(
[05:43] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: run it as root
[05:44] <DishBreak> foxjazz: no player can load these files
[05:44] <DisabledDuck> how do i reconfigure xorg.conf?
[05:44] <arooni> what is the 'ssl' package for ubuntu?
[05:44] <sue47> anybody else getting a bunch of kde apps showing in there system monitor?
[05:44] <retour> why convert flv to anything?? Latest VLC plays them natively. Just install mozilla extension to download all multimedia from webpages
[05:44] <Ramzi> I did
[05:44] <saxartist> you could use audacity to record the sound from the video
[05:44] <mdszepher> Does anyone know how to set up a MSN account with Evolution?
[05:44] <Ramzi> DisabledDuck: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:44] <DishBreak> .wmv files won't load, even with gnash
[05:44] <sevk> where are you from?
[05:44] <retour> Is Evolution able toread news?
[05:44] <jack|Helium> hmm. Run it from a true terminal maybe?
[05:44] <[TaTsUo] > What does FLV mean ?
[05:45] <HamHamT> Rmazi how do you get past the screen that says: X.Org server modules that should be loaded by default
[05:45] <Ramzi> jack: What's a true terminal?
[05:45] <cafuego> flash video
[05:45] <eboyjr> [TaTsUo] : FLV is a Flash Video File
[05:45] <HamHamT> Its impossible to get to the Ok button
[05:45] <[TaTsUo] > Ohh, thank you, :)
[05:45] <Ramzi> HamHamT: Try tab, maybe?
[05:45] <DisabledDuck> ummm.... i just ran that, and it says xorg.conf isn't installed, what do i do?
[05:45] <eboyjr> [TaTsUo] : For Flash Player
[05:45] <HamHamT> oh duh, lol thanks
[05:45] <Frogzoo> retour: nyet
[05:45] <Ramzi> DisabledDuck: No idea. Sorry.
[05:46] <retour> FLV flash video (wrapper for standard video codec like mp4 etc.)
[05:46] <eboyjr> How can I make it so the programs group together on the "Taskbar"?
[05:46] <retour> Frogzoo: thank you
[05:46] <Ramzi> jack: I think when I do a xorg.conf reconfigure it installs the open source NVidia drivers. I'm saying, I think everytime I switch xorg.conf files, different drivers will be run
[05:46] <DisabledDuck> i just tried to reconfigure xorg.conf, and it says that it is not installed, anybody know what to do?
[05:46] <Ramzi> jack: so if I write a script to toggle them, I'll have to restart every time
[05:47] <Mikeh> I installed the drivers for my card off the NVIDIA website, now x11 crashes :(
[05:47] <sevk> my notify bar is disappear
[05:47] <jack|Helium> hit Ctrl + Alt + F1 (or any F-key up to F6), then login as root, then say "killall gdm", then run the command (you wont be able to paste it, so write it down), then say "reboot". It's a little deep, but its should work
[05:47] <HamHamT> Ramzi: did you get this error after you changed the resoltuion?
[05:47] <HamHamT> Ramzi: xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
[05:47] <HamHamT>    file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20070630204655
[05:47] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: you'd have to restart X
[05:47] <Lectus> Hello! I just installed my old Ubuntu Dapper CD, but I'd like to install feisty. But when I try to install using the live CD it just hangs at 15% (detecting file systems). The same whith Kubuntu, but not with Xubuntu. It looks like a bug. Has anyone experienced this too?
[05:47] <GenNMX> jack|Helium: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart <-- much easier then rebooting
[05:48] <Ramzi> HamHamT: No. But it looks like they backed up your file for you anyway, so you're good
[05:48] <jack|Helium> GenNMX: yeah, but he has to remember it
[05:48] <HamHamT> Ramzi: did you see the changes immediately? I don't see any difference.
[05:48] <Ramzi> HamHamT: Restart
[05:48] <Mikeh> anyone know how to fix an xorg.conf file after the NVIDIA drivers mess your whole system up?
[05:48] <GenNMX> I added a new PCI SATA controller to my server, along with 3 more HDDs, which changed the /dev order. At first my non-boot LVM gave "missing UUID" errors, but I fixed that with pvcreate --uuid "the missing uuid" --restorefile /etc/lvm/archive/volumegroup_xxxx.vg /dev/sdd1, and then vgcfgbackup && vgcfgrestore, which allowed me to activate the volume group and logical volume. But now the partition on my LVM has disappeared -- even a dee
[05:48] <Frogzoo> Lectus: there's a couple of boot flags worth trying - "acpi=off" & one for mmu which escapes me
[05:48] <HamHamT> Ramzi: oh okay I'll try that, thanks for the help.
[05:48] <Ramzi> lol, I have the miracle command
[05:49] <jack|Helium> Mikeh: as root: "X -configure"
[05:49] <Ramzi> Mikeh: type sudo dpkh-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:49] <sue47> anybody can help me?
[05:49] <Mikeh> that easy?
[05:49] <jack|Helium> Mikeh: it should be
[05:49] <Ramzi> jack: alright, I'm gonna try your thing now
[05:49] <Lekrem> sue47 what?
[05:49] <Mikeh> and I really thought I was hosed :)
[05:49] <Mikeh> ty jack|Helium & Ramzi
[05:49] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: come back on when you're done and tell me if it works
[05:49] <jack|Helium> Mikeh: yvw
[05:50] <sue47> why owuld i have a bunch of kde apps showing in the system monitor? i have only gnome installed
[05:50] <alin> ?
[05:50] <jack|Helium> sue47: what KDE apps
[05:50] <Lekrem> sue47: kde apps can run through gnome, all the processes r there for it to work
[05:52] <Nutubuntu> I'm having a lot of trouble with Firefox 2.0.x crashing. Can't remember 1.5.x doing this. Is there a known issue and - I hope - fix for this?
[05:52] <sue47> well it says kded, kded[kdeinit]  <--this one shows twice. kdeinit, kdeinit starting up, klauncher [kdeinit] , knotify[kdeinit] 
[05:52] <HamHamT> Ramzi: very cool it worked, thanks for the help
[05:53] <gregorovius> is it normal to have 8 or so instances of apache running, when I only use it for local services and noone is using them?
[05:53] <Lekrem> sue47: i have those also, they r just there so the computer can run kde stuff, its nothing to worry about
[05:54] <sue47> ok ty very much i just wasnt sure what was going on
[05:54] <Ramzi> jack: Whatever I did worked.
[05:54] <HamHamT> Ramzi: thanks for the help
[05:54] <Ramzi> HamHamT: yw
[05:54] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: Great!
[05:54] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: good res?
[05:54] <Ramzi> jack: i have an Nvidia logo when ubuntu starts up, and my screen res sucks
[05:55] <sue47> also is there any packages that would automatically install "konsole" its on my system but i have no clue how it got there
[05:55] <dr_willis> Hmm.. Anyone tried the Vice C64 Emulator Under Feisty yet? i got the roms for it. but its still not working. Just gives a black screen and  mentions some gtk errors in the shell window i launch it from
[05:55] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: change your res again in xorg.conf, or even better, in application/system/nvidia
[05:55] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: restart X then
[05:55] <HamHamT> How do you run a program? I've gotten it to install but the icon wont work.
[05:56] <Lekrem> sue47 if u have ever had kde it might have been left over from that
[05:56] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: you have the drivers now, all you have to do is change the res
[05:56] <sue47> nope just installed ubuntu yesterday
[05:56] <sue47> HamHamT:  what app?
[05:56] <dr_willis> HamHamT,  what program.. see what the icon is launching, and run the command from the shell to see if any errors are shown
[05:57] <HamHamT> Its a game, GraalOnline, I've installed it fine but the icon work work.
[05:57] <HamHamT> dr_willis: how do you run it from shell?
[05:57] <ubuntu_user> Does anyone know how to convert .flv files to mp3?
[05:57] <HamHamT> ubuntu_user: i'm sure thats not possible.
[05:57] <sue47> idk ive never heard of it. is it a native linux game or are you running it through wine?
[05:57] <jack|Helium> ubuntu_user: try using SUPER for windows
[05:58] <sue47> err app rather
[05:58] <ubuntu_user> oh :-(
[05:58] <HamHamT> sue47: Its a game for Linux, I just can't run it
[05:58] <jack|Helium> ubuntu_user: through WINE
[05:58] <mdszepher> I just tried to update Ubuntu, and was disconnected in the middle of the update download.  After I am disconnected, I am unable to reconnect to any router until I unplug my USB wireless reciever and plug it back in.
[05:58] <Lekrem> ubuntu_user: yes
[05:58] <HamHamT> sue47: how do you run it through shell?
[05:58] <Ramzi> jack: I can't find NVidia in my menus
[05:58] <Lekrem> ubuntu_user: its kinda it is possible
[05:58] <Sir_Brizz> mdszepher, so do you have a question?
[05:58] <Pavel> Can I stop a 7.04 LiveCD from activating everything that looks vaguely like a swap partition upon boot? I couldn't find such options in the boot menu.
[05:58] <Ramzi> jack: If I do the dpkg-reconfigure command, won't it reinstall older drivers again?
[05:58] <mdszepher> Heh, good point
[05:58] <Lekrem> ubuntu_user: oops
[05:58] <jwalter> I selected the 'Erase entire disk' partition option during my installation of Xubuntu. Does this mean all data on my disk prior to the installation, i.e. Windows, was deleted and the disk reformated? I'm curious because I read that the setup automatically sets up a dual boot.
[05:59] <Pavel> (The Desktop edition.)
[05:59] <mdszepher> So, how do I configure my wireless settings to I am able to download my updates?
[05:59] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I dunno, I'm not used to dpkg
[05:59] <HamHamT> jwalter: unfortunately, yes
[05:59] <Sir_Brizz> mdszepher, is unplugging and replugging the usb wireless not working?
[05:59] <Ramzi> jack: There's a simpler way to configure X?
[05:59] <mdszepher> It is
[05:59] <sue47> try doing whereis GraalOnline once. whats the output? you may have to go straight to the source
[05:59] <Ramzi> jack: Just X -configure?
[05:59] <jwalter> No, no, that's good. Thanks for the reply. I was afraid Windows was still there.
[05:59] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: just chage it in xorg.conf
[05:59] <Sir_Brizz> so do that and then run the upgrade command again, it will start up where you left off
[05:59] <Lekrem> ubuntu_user: is the video online?
[05:59] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: theres the nvidia tool
[06:00] <HamHamT> Can somebody help me running a program through shell?
[06:00] <Ramzi> jack: I am not confident in directly editting xorg.conf
[06:00] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: search for nvidia in synaptic
[06:00] <ubuntu_user> Lekrem: No, its just on my Desktop.
[06:00] <cwgannon> anybody know why my desktop and all that would show up all garbled and scrambled when i start an xgl session? i'm following the guide here: http://lhansen.blogspot.com/2006/10/3d-desktop-beryl-and-xgl-on-ubuntu-edgy.html
[06:00] <bobgill1> Is there a cmd in terminal to bring up a calendar in it??
[06:00] <mdszepher> I unplug it, plug it back in, wait a minute for it to pick up my router, and I can connect as normal.
[06:00] <Sir_Brizz> mdszepher, so do that and then run the upgrade command again, it will start up where you left off
[06:00] <ubuntu_user> Lekrem, in fact, I want to convert youtube's videos to mp3.
[06:00] <sethglickman_> can someone help me install ubuntu?
[06:00] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I think it's "nvidia-settings"
[06:00] <Lekrem> ubuntu_user: thats easy, hold on a sec
[06:00] <sue47> HamHamT:  where is the executable or what ever at?
[06:00] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: don't worry, neither am I...
[06:00] <HamHamT> seth: theres a graphical install its not anything difficult
[06:00] <ubuntu_user> Lekrem, thanks a lot
[06:00] <sethglickman_> i have the desktop installer, and it's asking me for a username and password
[06:00] <HamHamT> sue47: its on the desktop ~/Desktop
[06:01] <sethglickman_> and i have no idea what to put in
[06:01] <sue47> thats where it was installed to?
[06:01] <Sir_Brizz> sethglickman_, while installing?
[06:01] <HamHamT> sethglickman_: its whatever you put when you installed it
[06:01] <sethglickman_> yeah
[06:01] <sethglickman_> no, i haven't installed it yet
[06:01] <Sir_Brizz> you make it up
[06:01] <HamHamT> you're using a LiveCD then?
[06:01] <Sir_Brizz> like username: seth
[06:01] <sethglickman_> doesn't work
[06:01] <Lekrem> ubuntu_user: http://vixy.net/
[06:01] <Sir_Brizz> password sethglickman
[06:01] <sethglickman_> yeah, i downloaded the cd from ubuntu.com
[06:01] <HamHamT> And what are you trying to do?
[06:01] <sethglickman_> and now i'm running it, and i've tried a lot of usernames/password, but nothing's working
[06:02] <Lekrem> ubuntu_user its a cool site i found a while back
[06:02] <sethglickman_> ideally, by the end of this evening, i'll have ubuntu installed
[06:02] <Ramzi> Okay, nvidia-settings was the command.
[06:02] <mdszepher> It is working fine now, but now I think it is a different problem.
[06:02] <ubuntu_user> Lekrem, oh yeahhh!!1
[06:02] <Ramzi> But I don't see where to change my res in it
[06:02] <ubuntu_user> Lekrem, thanks a lot !
[06:02] <HamHamT> you can't do much on the LiveCD, when you try to intall it it tells you to input and password/
[06:02] <sethglickman_> it says "Incorrect username or password.  Letters must be typed in the correct case."
[06:02] <HamHamT> did you md5 sum it?
[06:02] <Lekrem> ubuntu_user: no problem
[06:02] <Sir_Brizz> mdszepher, what kind of problem?
[06:02] <sethglickman_> i had it check itself before i started
[06:02] <mdszepher> Whenever I access the Internet to do something different, only on the first time I run the program does it disconnect.
[06:02] <HamHamT> you might have downloaded a corrupt file
[06:03] <jwalter> I'm also having trouble with audio disks. I'm used to auto play in Windows, you see: in Xubuntu I'm unsure about how to play them. Best method?
[06:03] <HamHamT> not sure what to tell you.
[06:03] <sethglickman_> and it got through what seemed like all of it, and then abruptly restarted
[06:03] <sethglickman_> does that mean that there was a problem?
[06:03] <mdszepher> The first time I used Giam, I was disconnected
[06:03] <lashmoove> how to get 4 channels output in jack?
[06:03] <mdszepher> But now I am able to use it normally
[06:03] <sethglickman_> should it have said "checksum complete"
[06:03] <sethglickman_> or something like that?
[06:03] <HamHamT> Can somebody help me run a program through shell?
[06:03] <HamHamT> yes
[06:03] <Sir_Brizz> mdszepher, I've found that is occasionally true over wireless
[06:03] <sethglickman_> i'm downloading the alternate installer
[06:03] <sethglickman_> ok
[06:03] <mdszepher> Same with Firefox, and now the terminal when I updated
[06:03] <Ramzi> HamHamT, just type the name of the program
[06:03] <Lekrem> HamHamT: what is it?
[06:03] <HamHamT> where?
[06:04] <mdszepher> Have you found it true for every program you have used?
[06:04] <Lekrem> HamHamT: Alt+F2
[06:04] <Sir_Brizz> mdszepher, hehe not usually but it has happened when the signal strength is weak
[06:04] <Lekrem> HamHamT: then click run in terminal
[06:04] <Sir_Brizz> mdszepher, I would get the upgrade completed before trying to troubleshoot it entirely
[06:04] <HamHamT> Says file could not be run
[06:04] <HamHamT> i mean
[06:04] <HamHamT> could not be found
[06:04] <mdszepher> I am averaging a 40% connection
[06:04] <Sir_Brizz> HamHamT, it probably doesn't have execute permission
[06:04] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: did you get nvidia-settings?
[06:04] <HamHamT> Oh, it was graal.exe
[06:04] <Ramzi> jack: Yes
[06:05] <mdszepher> Sure, I'll update as much as I can, thanks for the help :)
[06:05] <Sir_Brizz> mdszepher, yeah that's the range it was in
[06:05] <Sir_Brizz> HamHamT, that's a windows executable
[06:05] <Ramzi> jack: I can't find an option to change my res in here
[06:05] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: are you in it?
[06:05] <HamHamT> I clicked run and it just does the same thing as if I clicked the icon, nothing shows up
[06:05] <Ramzi> HamHamT: Install Wine
[06:05] <Lekrem> HamHamT: do you have wine?
[06:05] <Alan8r> quick questions guys
[06:05] <HamHamT> Wine comes with fiesty fawn right?
[06:05] <Alan8r> basically my dillema
[06:05] <Alan8r> i downloaded the unbunto iso
[06:05] <Ramzi> jack: Yes
[06:05] <HamHamT> let me try that, the website tells me to use XWindows, does it matter?
[06:05] <Alan8r> i'm apparently out of cd-r's
[06:05] <Lekrem> HamHamT: no, you have to install it manually
[06:06] <jwalter> How do I play audio disks in Xubuntu? I'm used to auto play in Windows.
[06:06] <Alan8r> is there a way to boot from a vitrual drive to install it?
[06:06] <Sir_Brizz> HamHamT, it sounds like you have installed the wrong version of the game somehow
[06:06] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I dont have my nvidia comp right now, but just look through all the tabs on the left till you see one with screen res settings. it might say something like "monitor0" or "screen0"
[06:06] <Alan8r> virtual*
[06:06] <HamHamT> Nope, the website gives me the linux version and tells me I need XWindows and OpenGL
[06:06] <HamHamT> not sure what OpenGL is
[06:06] <Ramzi> I have X Screen 0
[06:06] <Sir_Brizz> HamHamT, any file with .exe will not work in Linux by default
[06:07] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: that sounds right
[06:07] <HamHamT> Wheres WineTools?
[06:07] <Sir_Brizz> HamHamT, what is the URL for that game?
[06:07] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: see if the res is in there
[06:07] <HamHamT> www.graalonline.com
[06:07] <Ramzi> jack: Still, I can't find an option to change my res. It tells me my res is 800x600
[06:07] <Ramzi> The same as the normal screen res changer in Ubuntu
[06:07] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: nothing to change it?
[06:07] <HamHamT> Ramzi: the way you told me didn't work for you?
[06:07] <Ramzi> HamHamT: In a terminal, type "wine" Then follow the instructions
[06:07] <Ramzi> jack: Correct.
[06:07] <Lekrem> HamHamT: run Alt+F2, then "sudo apt-get install wine"
[06:07] <sue47> HamHamT:  here is link i found to the linux version of that game. http://www.graalonline.com/downloads/graal4setup
[06:08] <Lekrem> HamHamT: and do run it terminal
[06:08] <demoncorsair> hey room
[06:08] <Lekrem> hello
[06:08] <shrimants> hey everyone
[06:08] <chrisjs169_> On Windows, my MP3 player is recognized, but on Ubuntu (Feisty) it doesn't mount, and it isn't listed in /dev
[06:08] <ShiFTKey> hello
[06:08] <shrimants> huge problems over here
[06:08] <shrimants> as in 2
[06:08] <shrimants> here goes
[06:08] <Ramzi> jack: No option to change my res in the NVidia menus
[06:08] <Sir_Brizz> HamHamT, is there a .sh file in the folder?
[06:08] <HamHamT> sue47, I'm aware of that, when you install it, it comes out as a .exe
[06:08] <Ramzi> HamHamT: In a terminal, type "wine" Then follow the instructions
[06:09] <shrimants> 1) failed to allocate mem resource upon booting from live CD, 2) can;t access tty, it boots to (initramfs)
[06:09] <demoncorsair> how's things?
[06:09] <mdszepher> Does anyone know of a good guide to how the terminal works?  I'm a new Ubuntu user as of 3 hours ago, and I need something that will get me used to the different programs I will need to know how to use.
[06:09] <chrisjs169_> the device does not appear when executing lsusb, but it is mentioned in dmesg
[06:09] <HamHamT> Ramzi: that didn't work but I did what Lemz said but in a terminal
[06:09] <HamHamT> alt+f2 didn't do anything so I just ran it in a terminal
[06:09] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I think it's a problem with your xorg.conf files... whats the res of your monitor normall
[06:09] <jack|Helium> *normally
[06:09] <sue47> oh ok i wasnt aware of that. my mistake
[06:09] <chrisjs169_> any suggestions?
[06:09] <Ramzi> jack: I don't know. I just set it to 1024 x 768 or something
[06:10] <Ramzi> Or 12xx something. I don't know
[06:10] <sue47> what vid card to you have?
[06:10] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: hold on
[06:10] <demoncorsair> I am trying to get a new sources but haven't gotten online anyone know where sources.gz goes if doing manually
[06:10] <HamHamT> Ramzi: are you trying to use desktop effects on a res higher than 1028?
[06:10] <Shadou> eh
[06:10] <Shadou> im trying to install ntfs-3g
[06:10] <Ramzi> NVidia Geforce FX 5200
[06:10] <Shadou> but i type 'make' and it doesnt work
[06:10] <Ramzi> HamHamT: I don't know what desktop effects are. As of current, I'm in 800x600
[06:11] <demoncorsair> anyone know where sources.gz or packages.gz goes
[06:11] <Ramzi> HamHamT: To get to a terminal, click Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[06:11] <Shadou> im trying to install ntfs-3g, and when i type 'make' like the INSTALL tells me to it doesn't work
[06:11] <foxjazz> Ramzi, it looks like you may have to edit your config
[06:11] <shrimants> anyone have an HP dv9500t notebook here/
[06:11] <Ramzi> :-(
[06:12] <foxjazz> It's not hare :)
[06:12] <Ramzi> Foxjazz: Could I do that in dpkg-reconfigure, or will that change my drivers?
[06:12] <foxjazz> hard*
[06:12] <sue47> HamHamT:  do you have opengl enabled? says its manditory for that game
[06:12] <foxjazz> No, let me find it
[06:12] <chrisjs169_> any suggestions on my USB issue?
[06:12] <HamHamT> No, no clue what that is sue47
[06:12] <bodybybuddha> Alan8r:  not sure about virtual drive - but if you had a USB drive try: http://learn.clemsonlinux.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Install_from_USB_drive
[06:12] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: do "less /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and tell me what defaultdepth says in the "screen" section
[06:12] <sue47> HamHamT:  what vid card do you have?
[06:13] <Sir_Brizz> mdszepher, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[06:13] <HamHamT> ATI
[06:13] <dijital1> any of you ever seen where gdm's resolution doesn't match the desktops?
[06:13] <SanjiX> I need help
[06:13] <SanjiX> Can someone message me?
[06:13] <Ramzi> Oh wait one second. I went to my terminal and I couldn't type because the NVidia-settings was still running. I closed it and I got this message
[06:13] <sue47> run fglrxinfo once
[06:13] <SanjiX> So it doesn't get wildly confusing
[06:13] <Ramzi> ERROR: Unable to open file '/home/ramzi/.nvidia-settings-rc' for writing.
[06:13] <jack|Helium> dijital1: nope
[06:13] <jack|Helium> Ramzi:
[06:13] <HamHamT> sue47, I think I've installed wine but how do I run the program?
[06:13] <dijital1> hmm
[06:13] <jack|Helium> that could be why it's not working
[06:13] <SanjiX> Who's available to help me with some general Ubuntu questions?
[06:14] <Ramzi> jack: Is it possible I ran nvidia-settings without having write access?
[06:14] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: yes
[06:14] <dfwlinuxguy> !ask
[06:14] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:14] <Shadou> im trying to install ntfs-3g, and when i type 'make' like the INSTALL tells me to it doesn't work
[06:14] <SanjiX> !ask
[06:14] <SanjiX> ?_?
[06:14] <sue47> well wine is in my menu
[06:14] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: in a term type sudo nvidia-settings
[06:14] <Ramzi> If I run it as gksudo, will I have write access?
[06:14] <Ramzi> lol, why sudo instead of gksudo now?
[06:14] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: yeah
[06:14] <sue47> do winecfg for terminal first
[06:14] <HamHamT> sue47, I'm not even sure if wine installed, am I supposed to see it in applications or the GUI?
[06:15] <HamHamT> sue47, winecfg is open
[06:15] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: lol, yeah.... but it doesn't really matter
[06:15] <BrodicK> hi guys, anyone knows if there is a Belkin G+ desktop wifi card can be installed in ubuntu? is there a driver available?
[06:15] <thosmos> SanjiX: ask your question
[06:15] <jack|Helium> BrodicK: ndiswrapper
[06:15] <SanjiX> !ask If I run Ubuntu 7.04 on at bootup on my computer, does it function like a Live CD (ie Knoppix), or will I be forced to install it--overwriting Windows XP and everything?
[06:15] <Nutubuntu> Ramzi,  sudo for text-mode apps; gksudo for gui apps
[06:15] <shrimants> 1) failed to allocate mem resource upon booting from live CD, 2) can;t access tty, it boots to (initramfs)
[06:15] <jack|Helium> !ndiswrapper
[06:15] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:15] <shrimants> any ideas?
[06:15] <jack|Helium> !ndiswrapper > BrodicK
[06:15] <SanjiX> crap I did it wrong
[06:16] <sue47> wine itself isnt actually a gui. it should be in the apps menu though. the way wine works is if you try to run a win exe wine starts the file or app for you. you dont ever actually see wine
[06:16] <BrodicK> jack|Helium: thanks dude
[06:16] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: did it work?
[06:16] <jack|Helium> BrodicK: glad I can help
[06:16] <chrisjs169_> any suggestions on my USB issue?
[06:16] <HamHamT> what do you want me to do in WineCfg?
[06:16] <SanjiX> jack|Helium
[06:16] <Ramzi> jack: It looks the same.
[06:16] <farcl0ud> how do I get a radio device for /dev/radio1 ?
[06:16] <Ramzi> jack: Now, it is possible that I'm not seeing something since the dialog goes under the bottom of the screen
[06:17] <Shadou> im trying to install ntfs-3g, and when i type 'make' like the INSTALL tells me to it doesn't work
[06:17] <farcl0ud> or a software fm scanner
[06:17] <sue47> oh nothing just run that command so i can setup the folders for you.
[06:17] <dfwlinuxguy> brodick...I'm running a belkin wireless care w/o problems it's not the latest N version though
[06:17] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: heh, that could be the problem...
[06:17] <Ramzi> jack: But in the "X Server Display Configuration" screen there is a button that says Configure
[06:17] <andrew-8665> ReiserFS creator charged with murder
[06:17] <HamHamT> I'm still running the program and its not working
[06:17] <thosmos> SanjiX: unless it's a liveCD, then it is an install CD
[06:17] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: try it!
[06:17] <Ramzi> jack: When I push it it asks how it should run, and the only option that isn't grayed out says a seperate X screen
[06:17] <foxjazz> Ramzi
[06:17] <kyled185> hey all, I'm having a weird issue with my bind server. I have it set up as a secondary DNS server for my home network, but now I can't resolve some other websites when I'm surfing the web or doing other stuff, any suggestions on why this might be happening?
[06:17] <jack|Helium>  Ramzi: do "less /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and tell me what defaultdepth says in the "screen" section
[06:17] <sue47> after that do cd ~/Desktop  then wine "exe name"  the exe cant have ant spaces in it though
[06:18] <Ramzi> jack: So I click okay and nothing happens
[06:18] <foxjazz> /etc/X11/xorg.conf  You need to edit this
[06:18] <Shadou> :(
[06:18] <foxjazz> find the screen resolutions and just add the new ones.
[06:18] <farcl0ud> radio anyone?
[06:18] <SanjiX> thosmos: I'm downloading this: "Ubuntu 7.04 - Supported to 2008" at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
[06:18] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: that might be it...
[06:18] <sue47> when you did winecfg did a gui of sorts appear?
[06:18] <foxjazz> make a copy of it tho,
[06:18] <Shadou> im trying to install ntfs-3g, and when i type 'make' like the INSTALL tells me to it doesn't work
[06:18] <bodybybuddha> Hey room - I'm missing the usb-usb-audio driver, do I have to recompile? or is there an 'easier' way?
[06:18] <foxjazz> so you can get back if it fails
[06:18] <Ramzi> 24
[06:18] <SanjiX> thosmos: Is that the Live CD?
[06:18] <thosmos> SanjiX: that's an install CD.  Not a live CD
[06:19] <SanjiX> thosmos: can I get the link to the Live CD?
[06:19] <foxjazz> ramzi
[06:19] <SanjiX> thosmos: for 7.04?
[06:19] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...results less /etc/resolv.conf
[06:19] <foxjazz> Let me find the actual one I am using.
[06:19] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: foxjazz says that you might have to go into xorg.conf, find the list of screen resolutions, and add the ones you want. I think he's right. Oh, yes, and 24 is good.
[06:19] <bodybybuddha> snd-usb-audio that is...
[06:19] <HamHamT> sue47, yeah
[06:19] <Ramzi> jack and foxjazz: I once tried to manually edit my xorg.conf and I fucked it up. dpkg-recongfigure worked for me, but I'm afraid it will uninstall different nvidia drivers that jack just had me install
[06:20] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: you wouln't believe the trouble I had with this in the past
[06:20] <thosmos> SanjiX: i might be wrong about that, actually
[06:20] <thosmos> SanjiX: just try it
[06:20] <sue47> ok. what is the full name of the executable (exactly as it is)
[06:20] <SanjiX> thosmos: Oh?
[06:20] <SanjiX> thosmos: I suck at Linux
[06:20] <Ramzi> jack: For clarity, again, will dpkg-reconfigure change the driver I have installed?
[06:20] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: from now on, if you start over, "nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals" should get the nvidia drivers back.
[06:20] <Nutubuntu> I am seeing page faults with my new A64 X2 Feisty box. How do I troubleshoot this?
[06:20] <Ramzi> ugh..
[06:20] <HamHamT> sue47, the icon says Graal Online but I'm pretty sure thats not it.
[06:20] <Shadou> i need help :(
[06:20] <dfwlinuxguy> Sanjix ...your supposed to blow
[06:21] <SanjiX> thosmos: I just want to access my old HD files from the Windows XP era, to burn them onto DVD-Rs and system restore... ugh what's a girl to do -_-
[06:21] <shrimants> 1) failed to allocate mem resource upon booting from live CD, 2) can;t access tty, it boots to (initramfs)
[06:21] <chrisjs169_> any suggestions on my USB issue?
[06:21] <HamHamT> sue47, this is in the properties: /usr/bin/graalexe
[06:21] <GenNMX> I added a new PCI SATA controller to my server, along with 3 more HDDs, which changed the /dev order. At first my non-boot LVM gave "missing UUID" errors, but I fixed that with pvcreate --uuid "the missing uuid" --restorefile /etc/lvm/archive/volumegroup_xxxx.vg /dev/sdd1, and then vgcfgbackup && vgcfgrestore, which allowed me to activate the volume group and logical volume. But now the partition on my LVM has disappeared -- even a dee
[06:21] <Ramzi> So what you want me to do is try dpkg-reconfigure, and if it doesn't work, do the nvidia thing again, and then try to edit xorg.conf manually?
[06:21] <foxjazz> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:21] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I think so. try running as root: "X -configure" then the command I just said, then restart x
[06:21] <sue47> ok im gonna d/l it myself and see if i can figure it out. give me a few mins
[06:21] <HamHamT> sue47, thanks
[06:21] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: if that doesn't work, you'll have to manually add the screen res
[06:21] <foxjazz> Ramzi... I have it here.
[06:21] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28030/
[06:22] <sue47> by the way you d/l the .bin file correct?
[06:22] <HamHamT> sue47, i'll open up a private window itll probably make things easier
[06:22] <foxjazz> maybe I can email you my xconf file and you can take the resolution out of it.
[06:22] <HamHamT> sue47, I downloaded the one that was for linux
[06:22] <Ramzi> Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0         If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock         and start again.
[06:22] <HamHamT> Ramzi: you can't do certain things with two terminals open
[06:22] <HamHamT> Ramzi: close any other terminals you might have open
[06:23] <Shadou> I need help! installing ntfs-3g, the install says "type ./configure then make" and i type 'make' but it gives an error '***no targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.'
[06:23] <foxjazz> Or synaptic
[06:23] <Ramzi> foxjazz: I have an idea. Do you think I could paste my xorg.conf and you add the resses?
[06:23] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: should I add my ISP assigned DNS to my server's resolv.conf?
[06:23] <thosmos> SanjiX: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktopedition : Ubuntu has a fast and easy graphical installer right on the Desktop CD, which is also a Live CD. On a typical computer the installation should take you less than 25 minutes.
[06:23] <sue47> ok got. ill see if i can figure it out
[06:23] <Ramzi> foxjazz: Your xorg.conf probably won't work since we might not have all the same hardware
[06:23] <HamHamT> l
[06:23] <SanjiX> thosmos: will be able to access my old harddrive from the Windows-era using this Ubuntu disc?
[06:23] <Ramzi> HamHamT: I only have one terminal open
[06:23] <foxjazz> Yes, but the peace about resolution should be ok
[06:23] <SanjiX> thosmos: will I*
[06:23] <thosmos> probably
[06:24] <foxjazz> I am running 7800 nvidia
[06:24] <HamHamT> Ramzi: i got the same error and I was checking my pcid and it wouldn't let me because I had two terminals open
[06:24] <jwalter> I'm having trouble playing audio CDs in Xubuntu. I select the option to add an audio CD to the playlist in Xfmedia, but nothing happens. Best method for playing them?
[06:24] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....it uses the servers in order from top to bottom...if you want to use your server 192.168.1.100..it should be first...it only checks the one's below if the one on top fails
[06:24] <thosmos> i haven't tried this cd as a live CD, so I can't say for sure
[06:24] <sue47> by the way HamHamT in case it may be a video issue can you run this command for me. glxinfo|grepdirect
[06:24] <foxjazz> try this
[06:24] <foxjazz> sudo edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:24] <Shadou> I need help! installing ntfs-3g, the install says "type ./configure then make" and i type 'make' but it gives an error '***no targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.'
[06:24] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: go to a true terminal, do "killall gdm" as root, then do what I told you
[06:25] <SanjiX> thosmos: Thanks
[06:25] <foxjazz> Shadou, look online in google fool
[06:25] <Shadou> i cannt
[06:25] <Shadou> dial up is crap
[06:25] <HamHamT> sue47 I sent you a private chat did you get it?
[06:25] <Ramzi> http://www.everfall.com/paste/id.php?yb8rc1s3e47z
[06:25] <CineScope> did you type ./configure ?
[06:25] <PurpZeY> Shadou: You haven't ./configured properly.
[06:25] <demoncorsair> anywhere I can get a pool archive
[06:25] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: looking at it
[06:25] <Shadou> >< how do i configure properly?
[06:25] <HamHamT> sue47 says command not found
[06:25] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: well, my intent with this server is to have a family domain name because someone is squatting the real one and I don't want to pay for it.  Otherwise I want every other DNS query to go out into the Internet like normal
[06:26] <Ramzi> jack: Nothing's changed. I already did the nvidia-setting thing
[06:26] <foxjazz> Ramzi...
[06:26] <Ramzi> yes?
[06:26] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: but the thing is, it's only some domains that don't resolve.
[06:26] <foxjazz> You have to edit those params
[06:26] <PurpZeY> Shadou: Not sure what you are up to or what dirs or anything, but if make is returning that, the likelihood is that you didn't ./configure right.
[06:26] <HamHamT> sue47, you there?
[06:26] <foxjazz> how can I send you my xconf
[06:27] <sue47> how about fglrxinfo
[06:27] <Ramzi> foxjazz: You can make a post on www.everfall.com/paste
[06:27] <thosmos> Shadou, apt-get install ntfs-3g?
[06:27] <foxjazz> ok
[06:27] <sue47> yea im installing now
[06:27] <Ramzi> foxjazz: Or you can directly edit mine
[06:27] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...random one's that won't resolve?
[06:27] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: xorg.conf is good, it's not the problem
[06:27] <akira> ?
[06:27] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: or at least I'm pretty sure
[06:27] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..or the same ones?
[06:27] <russe11> I just installed Ubuntu on my Asus P5B Deluxe based computer that has integrated Intel HD audio. When watching video in VLC, there is sometimes static when something is loud.
[06:27] <HamHamT> sue47: okay, let me know when you're done
[06:27] <Shadou> thosmos: i cant get my modem to work...so i DLed the package from packages.ubuntu.com and transfered it to my linux machine
[06:28] <happycamper> okay guys so I got my friends infected NTFS windows drive mounted with NTFS-3G and I can move folders to the recycle bin. but I'm running it off of a liveDVD and see no recycle bin????where is it or if I don't have one when it's live how can I delete the files from his drive?
[06:28] <russe11> anything I can do about that?
[06:28] <happycamper> the virus files. I have the directorys of them
[06:28] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: go to a true terminal, log in as root, do "killall gdm", then startx
[06:28] <PurpZeY> russe11: Turn your system volume down, and your speakers up a bit.
[06:28] <PurpZeY> !root
[06:28] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[06:28] <Ramzi> jack: What will that do? I haven't changed anything since the last time
[06:28] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: that will make you root. change your screen res, logout, then type "gdm"
[06:28] <shavex> so lets say i have /etc/modules open in the terminal and i made a change to it, how do i save it?
[06:29] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: it appears so.  For example freenode.net didn't resolve, so I cleared the cache, restarted bind, and then after about 5 minutes or so it finally started to work
[06:29] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: you're logging into gnome as root, and using root to change the res.
[06:29] <sue47> HamHamT:  it works here. i think i know the problem. what modle is your ati card? run this command lspci
[06:29] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I had to do that in another disto
[06:29] <PurpZeY> jack|Helium: This channel does not support or encourage root.
[06:29] <Ramzi> jack: Okay, one sec
[06:29] <shavex> so lets say i have /etc/modules open in the terminal and i made a change to it, how do i save it?
[06:29] <HamHamT> sue47: a lot of things popped up, what do you want?
[06:29] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...still need help?
[06:30] <jack|Helium> PurpZeY: sorry...
[06:30] <HamHamT> sue47: my video card is a RADEON 9200 Series, I'm not sure if you want anything else here
[06:30] <Athanasius> hey, I installed all of the codecs from medibuntu and ubuntuguide.org but I still can't get mplayer to load movies on apple trailers
[06:30] <thosmos> Shadou: what does that have to do with ntfs3g?
[06:30] <sue47> thats all i needed
[06:30] <Shadou> what?
[06:30] <Shadou> dont you need internet to run apt-get
[06:30] <PurpZeY> jack|Helium: It's no worries, it's just that you can do anything with sudo, that you need root for...which is the point of sudo
[06:30] <shavex> so lets say i have /etc/modules open in the terminal and i made a change to it, how do i save it?
[06:30] <spAcE> I need some help:
[06:30] <metbsd> you can run apt-get without internet
[06:30] <foxjazz> http://www.everfall.com/paste/id.php?dg4900om8y85
[06:30] <foxjazz> Ramzi : http://www.everfall.com/paste/id.php?dg4900om8y85
[06:30] <PurpZeY> shavex: You have to open it using sudo
[06:30] <metbsd> if your pkgs file are in archive
[06:30] <spAcE> I need to find a good computer chair and desk
[06:30] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...you are incrementing the serial number each time you edit the zone file correct?
[06:30] <thosmos> Shadou: can't you just dl the deb and do dpkg -i ntfs-3g.deb?
[06:30] <shavex> i did
[06:31] <spAcE> anyone know of any good desks or chairs for a good price
[06:31] <sue47> ok may i pm as the following procedure is fairly intensive
[06:31] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: Yeah must've got lost in the flood of messages: "it appears so.  For example freenode.net didn't resolve, so I cleared the cache, restarted bind, and then after about 5 minutes or so it finally started to work"
[06:31] <PurpZeY> shavex: if that is the case your changes will be saved.
[06:31] <Shadou> can i ><?
[06:31] <DarthShrine> How do I set my framebuffer to 1280x800? (Intel 945gM)
[06:31] <spAcE> my current chair is broken and my computer desk is all wobbly and small
[06:31] <HamHamT> spAcE: home depot and 2 hours :)
[06:31] <shavex> when i close the window how do i exit?
[06:31] <Ramzi> Alright, so I pusehd Contral Alt F1
[06:31] <spAcE> hahaha
[06:31] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: yeah?
[06:31] <Ramzi> I logged in. I then typed "sudo killall gdm"
[06:31] <Ramzi> I logged in as root
[06:31] <shavex> it says ^E but i dont know what that means
[06:31] <spAcE> ...thats a good idea...
[06:31] <Ramzi> Then I typed "startx" and X started
[06:31] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: and?
[06:31] <quinton> Does anyone know the terminal code to get frostwire?
[06:31] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: no I haven't done that
[06:31] <PurpZeY> shavex:  How did you edit what you wanted to? using gksudo with edit or?
[06:32] <spAcE> plywood and 2 by 4
[06:32] <Ramzi> But when I go to the screen res dialog I still can't change the res
[06:32] <Camero1> hey my cube just stopped working and  it is checked on desktop effects and everything
[06:32] <thosmos> Shadou: yes, you can.  That's kind of the point of .deb packages
[06:32] <foxjazz> Ramzi,,, http://www.everfall.com/paste/id.php?dg4900om8y85
[06:32] <Camero1> anyone know how to fix?
[06:32] <Ramzi> How can I check if I'm logged in as root right now?
[06:32] <PurpZeY> Camero1: Do you still have 4 desktops in the lower right...in the rectangle.
[06:32] <russe11> PurpZeY: that doesn't seem to be helping. I've turned system volume down to 59%, and I still get the static on high volumes
[06:32] <PurpZeY> !root
[06:32] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[06:32] <Camero1> no
[06:32] <jack|Helium> weird. I'd seek higher help. I think someone (foxjazz?) wan'ts to send you their xorg.conf
[06:32] <sue47> HamHamT:  what we need to do is install the fglrx drivers and modules
[06:32] <foxjazz> after editing your xorg you have to reboot.
[06:32] <Camero1> it only shows two
[06:32] <quinton> Can someone please tell me the terminal code to get frostwire
[06:32] <PurpZeY> russe11: Have you tried turning down alsa?
[06:32] <demoncorsair> anyone know how to download the whole pool and not just a puddle
[06:33] <russe11> I'm in alsamixer
[06:33] <thosmos> Shadou: but you only need ntfs-3g if you want to WRITE TO an ntfs partition
[06:33] <Ramzi> jack: Maybe I'm not logged in as root right now?
[06:33] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: or he can just restart x...
[06:33] <shavex> PurpZeY, i opened the terminal and typed sudo nano /etc/modules
[06:33] <PurpZeY> Camero1: Can you rotate b/w the two?
[06:33] <Camero1> no
[06:33] <russe11> PurpZeY: I'm in alsamixer, what should I be turning down?
[06:33] <Shadou> thosmos: I want to WRITE to a NTFS partition
[06:33] <thosmos> Shadou: what are you trying to do?
[06:33] <Camero1> PurpZeY: no
[06:33] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: ?
[06:33] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..if you are listing that you are authoratative for a particular domain...each time you edit the zone file you must increment the serial number in the zone file....I'm guessing that you are not creating a zone file for freenode.net though
[06:33] <PurpZeY> russe11: Master volume down lower.
[06:33] <sue47> go to system/admin/restricted drivers. tell me whatis there as well as ifr anything is checked
[06:33] <Ramzi> jack: Did I need to type "startx" or "sudo startx"
[06:33] <thosmos> Shadou: ah, well then that's what you need
[06:33] <PurpZeY> Camero1: I don't know, ask in #ubuntu-effects
[06:33] <foxjazz> ok, sudo dude
[06:33] <foxjazz> sudo dude
[06:33] <Camero1> PurpZeY: Thanks
[06:33] <HamHamT> sue47: so how are we going to do that
[06:33] <PurpZeY> shavex: So, save changes, exit nano and you'll be set to go
[06:33] <jack|Helium> if you were logged in as rood, you don't need sudo, if not, use sudo
[06:34] <Ramzi> Guh. Let me try again
[06:34] <russe11> PurpZeY: I turned down both PCM and Front to 50%, and I still have the problem.
[06:34] <jack|Helium> ubuntu doesn't like root, they say to use sudo
[06:34] <shavex> PurpZeY, how do i save it?
[06:34] <Shadou> thosmos: I have an external drive, its NTFS and I want to write to it from linux
[06:34] <thosmos> you can do 'sudo su -' to get to root
[06:34] <sue47> first iwhat is in the restricted driver manager also is anything checked
[06:34] <HamHamT> sue47: do you have any sort of IM? it'll be a lot easier to talk in real time
[06:34] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: would my not incrementing the serial have an effect on other domains? because I'm only creating 1 zone and it's reverse dns
[06:35] <sue47> ill pm you on here k
[06:35] <quinton> Can anyone assist me with a .deb file installed and how to make a desktop Icon for a quik launch for it?
[06:35] <thosmos> Shadou: you might also want ntfs-config
[06:35] <MajorPayne> I just installed Ubuntu on my MacBook.  Works great.  Is there any way that I can have the Apple key + click to mean right click?  Right now I can't right click at all.
[06:35] <Charles_Xavier> well, ill tell you what i want, what i really really want
[06:35] <russe11> Other than turning down master system volume a little, is there anything I can do to fix static at high volumes?
[06:35] <PurpZeY> shavex: I think perhaps, save and exit F-? or just q.
[06:35] <Charles_Xavier> i want to install nvidia drivers
[06:35] <darwin81> Can I verify the content of a CD based on a CD image?
[06:35] <Charles_Xavier> but odnt know how
[06:35] <Camero1> Hey my cube just stopped working and i cant get it to come back on... it only shows i have 2 desktops and the enable cube is Checked, i cant even cube between the 2 desk tops... can anyone help because no 1 is talking in the #ubuntu-effects channel
[06:35] <PurpZeY> !ati | Charles_Xavier
[06:35] <ubotu> Charles_Xavier: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:36] <foxjazz> Ramzi ?? hmmm well you get the Jist I hope
[06:36] <russe11> Charles_Xavier: I had very good luck with my Nvidia card and Envy
[06:36] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...it could cause problems....bind mixes the cache and authoratative  functions into one
[06:36] <sue47> PurpZeY:  you do know those are the old buggy drivers right
[06:36] <russe11> Charles_Xavier: http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[06:36] <shavex> PurpZeY, how do i save it?
[06:36] <thosmos> Shadou: and ntfs-3g depends on these other debs:  libfuse2 (>= 2.6), libntfs-3g0 (>= 1.0), fuse-utils
[06:36] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...honestly I moved to djbdns years ago...but did use bind for many years before that
[06:36] <novato_br> why the ubuntu doesn't recognize software already installed?
[06:37] <PurpZeY> sue47: As far as I'm told, that's the way to tell people to do it, was there some recent update such that ubotu hasn't been changed?
[06:37] <novato_br> i have a lot software duplicated installation
[06:37] <foxjazz> why novato I don't know what you mean
[06:37] <tazz> what is that software for making linux partitions visible in windows?
[06:37] <Charles_Xavier> hi does anyone like jay-z rap song in here??
[06:37] <RememberPOL> !up
[06:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about up - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:37] <russe11> tazz: ext2 ifs
[06:37] <Charles_Xavier> sorry
[06:37] <Charles_Xavier> wrong channel
[06:37] <Charles_Xavier> did not mean to paste that here
[06:37] <sue47> well the ati driver packages are updated but wont get putin the repos for fiesty you have to get them for a page. ill give link if you want
[06:37] <novato_br> foxjazz, i was talking about: i've duplicated instalation
[06:38] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: well...I just incremented the serial and it didn't work.... I don't really want to just give up and move on to something else though, I'd like to figure out what I'm doing wrong
[06:38] <foxjazz> www.slacker.com  (Great music site)
[06:38] <russe11> tazz: I think I've used that with good results.
[06:38] <tazz> russe11, no i want another one...
[06:38] <russe11> tazz: why?
[06:38] <foxjazz> When are they going to start making 64bit plugs?
[06:38] <PurpZeY> sue47: I don't need such a link, maybe you should tell the ops so someone updates ubotu
[06:38] <novato_br> i was installing Et and it did show two different places
[06:38] <darwin81> Can I verify the content of a CD based on a CD image?
[06:38] <jarrod> help im going insane!!! how can a comp that runs xp smoothly not be able to install xubuntu
[06:38] <dfwlinuxguy> sure...I understand
[06:38] <HamHamT> sue47, the help website says that the fglrx driver doesn't support drivers earlier than 9500
[06:38] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...how many zone files do you have?
[06:38] <tazz> russe11, my linux partiotion shows up as corruted.
[06:39] <darwin81> Jarrod, please explain your problem
[06:39] <Ramzi> Okay
[06:39] <shavex> PurpZeY, ok well q didnt work
[06:39] <sue47> umm i think its been changed though. let me chjeck the readme for the version i have
[06:39] <russe11> tazz: are you sure it isn't?
[06:39] <Ramzi> I logged in as root. I know I did because there were no icons on the desktop
[06:39] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...you have restarted bind correct?
[06:39] <PurpZeY> shavex: Hold on, I'll find out.
[06:39] <Camero1> Hey my cube just stopped working and i cant get it to come back on... it only shows i have 2 desktops and the enable cube is Checked, i cant even cube between the 2 desk tops... can anyone help because no 1 is talking in the #ubuntu-effects channel
[06:39] <Ramzi> Anyway, still nothing in the screen res dialogi
[06:39] <shavex> PurpZeY, ok thank you
[06:39] <tazz> russe11, i was booted in linux 5 min a go
[06:39] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: 2 -- 1 for the domain and 1 for the reverse. Yes I have restarted, and cleared the cache many times
[06:39] <sue47> not sure a fellow named bryce harrington packaged the new drivers and that how i got the fix
[06:40] <russe11> tazz: I can't help you then. Sorry.
[06:40] <MajorPayne> I just installed Ubuntu on my MacBook.  Works great.  Is there any way that I can have the Apple key + click to mean right click?  Right now I can't right click at all unless I use F11 or F12.
[06:40] <foxjazz> Ramzi, your gettning NOTHING in the res dialog
[06:40] <foxjazz> ???
[06:40] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...some people say that djbdns is abandonware since it has not been updated for 6 years...not suggesting that you change...just that it's been a couple of years since I used bind
[06:40] <HamHamT> sue47 can you send me the links?
[06:40] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..can you pastebin your zone file?
[06:40] <jarrod> darwin, I have a comp w/ 200 mb ram (give or take) 80gb hardrive and a .5 processor that some one put xp on to. but when i boot xubuntu from disk to install things are incredably slow and wont run
[06:40] <tazz> russe11, no problem, i think i will find that other software....'whats its name' on my own.
[06:40] <foxjazz> Or just low resolution options
[06:40] <Ramzi> foxjazz: Only 800x600
[06:40] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: I guess foxjazz can help. I have no idea...
[06:40] <sue47> will do. logging into mail account now
[06:40] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: yeah I'll paste it
[06:40] <Ramzi> jack: okay
[06:41] <Ramzi> fox: let me try to change my xorg.conf now
[06:41] <foxjazz> Ah.   You have to edit that xconf as I said before.
[06:41] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..isn't there a config file /etc/bind.conf ?
[06:41] <Camero1> hey major payne did you try to put two fingers on the trackpad  and then click
[06:41] <sue47> http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/fglrx-8.37.6-Feisty/
[06:41] <Ramzi> fox: actually, can you paste the xconf exactly as I'm supposed to?
[06:41] <PurpZeY> shavex: control + x
[06:41] <shrimants> 1) failed to allocate mem resource upon booting from live CD, 2) can;t access tty, it boots to (initramfs)
[06:41] <foxjazz> I did.
[06:41] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..if so...I'd like to see that as well
[06:41] <MajorPayne> Camero1, That does not work.
[06:41] <Ramzi> foxjazz: what you pasted on everfall was just a small portion
[06:41] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: his xorg.conf looked fine to me .... but I'm no specialist.
[06:41] <foxjazz> Only the part about nvidia
[06:42] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28033/
[06:42] <Ramzi> Yeah, where to add that is not exactly obvious to me
[06:42] <Camero1> MajorPayne: Sorry that is just a suggestion i dont know what else to try
[06:42] <HamHamT> sue47, whats OpenGL?
[06:42] <segagman> i need a step by step guide of how to install programs on ubuntu...like Sauerbraten i download the file but dont know who to do the rest....can any one help me?
[06:42] <PurpZeY> sue47: I didn't even open that url, but I see a funny sub dir called testing, which indicates to me it isn't stable.
[06:42] <foxjazz> It starts at the top line Ramz
[06:42] <foxjazz> http://www.everfall.com/paste/id.php?dg4900om8y85
[06:42] <jarrod> darwin81, I have a comp w/ 200 mb ram (give or take) 80gb hardrive and a .5 processor that some one put xp on to. but when i boot xubuntu from disk to install things are incredibly slow and wont run
[06:42] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: over top of what already exists
[06:42] <shrimants> 1) failed to allocate mem resource upon booting from live CD, 2) can;t access tty, it boots to (initramfs)
[06:42] <foxjazz> Look for Nvidia
[06:42] <Camero1> MajorPayne: Another option could be to get a windows mouse
[06:42] <shavex> PurpZeY, thank you!!!
[06:42] <shrimants> my entire liveCD is gimped
[06:42] <PurpZeY> shavex: Not a problem.
[06:42] <shrimants> omg purpzey i remember you
[06:42] <underBear> has anyone here got a dvr working in ubuntu ?
[06:42] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28035/ -- that's the reverse dns
[06:42] <thosmos> segagman: use synaptic (System->Administration->Synaptic)
[06:42] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: there should be sections there with the same names as the ones you need to add.
[06:42] <sue47> PurpZeY:  i was told by brice that they wont put them in the repos. theya re in the gutsy repos though
[06:43] <MajorPayne> Camero1: I have a Windows mouse, but I don't want to drag that around with me.
[06:43] <PurpZeY> shrimants: what'd I do?
[06:43] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..isn't there a config file /etc/bind.conf ?
[06:43] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..if so...I'd like to see that as well
[06:43] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: I see now, I was looking at your xorg.conf when I said it looked fine
[06:43] <thosmos> segagman: or do 'dpkg -i package.deb'
[06:43] <shrimants> purpzey, u helped me with fixing my touchpad
[06:43] <PurpZeY> sue47: I don't know brice...But I know that when someone has a nvidia/ATI problem, the ops usually use !ATI ...maybe something changed.
[06:43] <CAL|SMeltn> YAY
[06:43] <PurpZeY> shrimants: Oh, glad it was something good...=)
[06:43] <thosmos> segagman: or double-click it in a file browser
[06:43] <Camero1> MajorePayne: Unless there is a way to set click on your macbook i dont know what to do
[06:43] <underBear> not touchie
[06:43] <CAL|SMeltn> thanks for the help.. got my wireless working

[06:44] <quinton> Can someone help me?, I just installed a program and I am having alot of problems finding it.

[06:44] <Ramzi> Okay.
[06:44] <sue47> he told me in email that the sru folks (whoever they are) are very particular as to what changes they allow
[06:44] <thosmos> segagman: click on that, then click on Administration, then on synaptic

[06:46] <Zoffix> Hi, did anybody have problems with Azureus on Ubuntu Fiesty. If it runs for an hour or so, it crashes and I cannot start it again because it crashes on startup. If I remove ~/.azureus I can start it again... for an hour. I've read the FAQ of #azureus and I have everything that should be installed. I've tried installing/reinstalling all kinds of those Java libraries but the effect is all the same.
[06:46] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28038/  example from bind zone file....I noticed you were missing origin
[06:46] <stewraz> anyone know anything about airport express and unbuntu????
[06:46] <thosmos> quinton: was it a deb file?
[06:47] <thosmos> quinton: did you look in all your menus?
[06:47] <Mike> can someone help me with an NVIDIA driver issue
[06:47] <PurpZeY> !anyone | Mike
[06:47] <ubotu> Mike: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:47] <quinton> thosmos, yes
[06:47] <thosmos> quinton: try doing 'frostfire" from teh command line
[06:48] <quinton> thosmos please explain how to get to command line?
[06:48] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..still don't see your /etc/bind.conf
[06:48] <segagman> so what do i do with the symatic?
[06:48] <jack|Helium> Mike: what's the issue
[06:48] <sue47> im not saying theya re perfect but i havent personally had any probs with them. and the problem with x not retarting is fixed
[06:48] <thosmos> quinton: if you want it in your menu you can look in /usr/share/applications and see if there's a .desktop file for it, and let me know if there is
[06:48] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: what does the orgin line do?
[06:48] <quinton> thosmos, explain how to do that?, (im one day into linux)
[06:48] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[06:48] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: ack
[06:48] <PurpZeY> sue47: I'm not saying they are good or not good...I just don't know, I just try to follow the channel rules.
[06:48] <Mike> okay, I installed the drivers for my graphics card off the NVIDIA website, which broke xorg, I fixed it with some help from here, but now if I try to select the restricted drivers to use Beryl etc, it breaks xorg again
[06:48] <PurpZeY> guidelines*
[06:49] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28040/
[06:49] <stewraz> 1 more try...does anyone know anything about playing music through my airport express in ubuntu, i have searched around and find nothing, any help would be fantastic
[06:49] <PurpZeY> Mike: What card?
[06:49] <Mike> 7600 GT
[06:49] <SysFail> isnt airport express apple?
[06:49] <sue47> i understand
[06:49] <stewraz> yes, you are correct,
[06:49] <foxjazz> Ramzi .. back
[06:49] <thosmos> quinton: APplications->Accessories->Terminal
[06:49] <SysFail> apple seriously sucks
[06:49] <PurpZeY> Mike: I think this is what we were talking about earlier, you may need the new nvidia drivers, I don't remember where the cutoff is
[06:49] <jwalter> How do I play audio CDs in Xubuntu? The Play Audio CD option, in System > Disks, isn't working.
[06:49] <quinton> thosmos, ok.
[06:50] <thosmos> !terminal
[06:50] <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
[06:50] <PurpZeY> alt-f2 will also get a term
[06:50] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: its taking him a while, I hope he doesn't have problems...
[06:50] <thosmos> what's the key combo for getting a quick command run dialog box?
[06:50] <PurpZeY> Mike: So, you've got the driver installed?
[06:50] <quinton> thosmos, im in the terminal.
[06:50] <stewraz> jeez sysfail, thats fantastic, thanks for that, if i wanted to hear what u like or dislike i would ask you, i wonder how linux is going to get anywhere. they talk this up saying that community support is the best thing, but people like you give ubuntu a bad name
[06:50] <SysFail> thosmos,  alt-f2
[06:50] <EADG_> thosmos: alt F2
[06:51] <thosmos> quinton: or put it in the box that you get when you do alt-f2
[06:51] <thosmos> thanks
[06:51] <Mike> I do need the new ones, which is fine, and I am using them, but for some reason the "restricted drivers" won't work without breaking xorg PurpZeY
[06:51] <lightrush> hello
[06:51] <SysFail> hey stewraz try google you moron...
[06:51] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: I gave him instructions for restoring xorg.conf (X -configure; nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals)
[06:51] <PurpZeY> Mike: This might be beyond me, but let me at least probe at the problem a little and see if I can't help...What do you mean it breaks it?
[06:51] <stewraz> lol, you are my hero sysfail
[06:51] <EADG_> Evning lightrush
[06:51] <SysFail> :)
[06:52] <quinton> thosmos, i typed frostwire in the terminal and it did not load.
[06:52] <jack|Helium> lightrush: hello
[06:52] <CineScope> i used envy to install the nvidia drivers for my 8800 and everything works
[06:52] <Mike> xorg throws errors and GDM crashes PurpZeY
[06:52] <stewraz> mate, get a life, stop sitting on these channels giving bad advice
[06:52] <stalepie> yeah i used envy and it helped
[06:52] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: would it possibly have to do with allowing recursion?
[06:52] <stalepie> although I've still had problems, especially with my Yamaha soundc ard
[06:52] <foxjazz> Dude, Linux rocks... No waiting for windows to open....
[06:52] <PurpZeY> Mike: What errors? And have you tried envy?
[06:52] <jwalter> How do I play audio CDs in Xubuntu?
[06:52] <Ramzi> So, I fucked up my xorg.conf file
[06:52] <foxjazz> Dang dude, linux rocks
[06:52] <stewraz> get off ur ass, and get out
[06:52] <Ramzi> It wouldn't start X, so I had to do dpkg reconfig
[06:52] <EADG_>  !oh my | Ramzi
[06:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about oh my - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:52] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..I'm looking at a couple of things in your named.conf...(sorry not bind.conf)
[06:53] <jack|Helium> Ramzi:  it took a while... we kinda figured...
[06:53] <foxjazz> Ok, after the reconfig does it have those options
[06:53] <Ramzi> Now nvidia-settings is a lot different than it was before.
[06:53] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: did you ever do "X -configure"
[06:53] <foxjazz> that happend to me to  I think
[06:53] <Mike> basically everything PurpZeY, video errors. keyboard errors, can't find this, can't find that
[06:53] <Ramzi> And when I try to run the game it says...
[06:53] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: Ironically, that might have fixed it then. is the screen res ok?
[06:53] <PurpZeY> Mike: Have you tried envy?
[06:53] <Mike> and the screen is blue with freetype errors as well
[06:54] <Ramzi> Failed to run /usr/local/games/ut2004demo//ut2004-demo as user root.  Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file.
[06:54] <Mike> and what is envy :)
[06:54] <lightrush> I am experiencing strange behaviour in my Xorg. After some time of use/idling (usually day and a half - two) my Xorg slowly starts eating CPU and reaches 20% and grows. Any switch between different screen modes for ex. X11 > Framebuffer or X11 > Wine 3D Window, appears to be very slow and as the time passes gets slower and slower. I tried to change nvidia driver back to nv - not helping.
[06:54] <Ramzi> jack: The screen res is fine now
[06:54] <PurpZeY> !envy
[06:54] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[06:54] <russe11> Mike: www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[06:54] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..first thing is that you are forwarding all requests for this nameserver to 66.82.4.8....you know that right?
[06:54] <jack|Helium> hmm
[06:54] <thosmos> quinton: do 'dpkg -L frostfire' in terminal
[06:55] <russe11> Mike, don't listen to the bot, Envy worked great for me.
[06:55] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: try running it as a user
[06:55] <stewraz> note to everyone: people i came on here trying to get some "community" help that ubuntu is meant to be some famous for. i got told to "google you moron" well in my opinion that is not really help is it. SYSFAIL you may like to think u know a lot about ubuntu or whatever, but mate you didnt know the answere to my question, nore did you have the common sence to say something intelligent. thanks for nothing
[06:55] <Ramzi> I am a user
[06:55] <PurpZeY> Mike: I didn't realize the channel didn't support envy, I wouldn't recommend it, if ubotu says it's bad...but do as you wish...a lot of people seem to think it works.
[06:55] <Ramzi> Oh
[06:55] <Ramzi> One sec
[06:55] <thosmos> quinton: look for something in a bin folder like /bin  /usr/bin, and then try to run that
[06:55] <shrimants> purpzey i think i figured out what th eprobelm was
[06:55] <NeoRex> Ramzi, try chmod the xAuth file to full read write Execute persmissions
[06:55] <SysFail> ok...have a good night stew :)
[06:55] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..also you have allow-recursion set to localnets, but you don't define localnets
[06:55] <knoppix> linux talk here?
[06:55] <PurpZeY> stewraz: It's a p2p type community, unless you're joking, chill on the guy.
[06:55] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: what NeoRex said...
[06:55] <russe11> stewraz: I don't know what you were asking about, but 'google you moron' is not an acceptable answer to a question.
[06:56] <DjKoRn> anyone uses CEDEGA here?
[06:56] <russe11> stewraz: I'm sorry you didn't get your answer, but that's an atypical response from this community.
[06:56] <stewraz> thanks russell, thats what i thought
[06:56] <SysFail> I thought it was sound advice
[06:56] <PurpZeY> !anyone
[06:56] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:56] <SysFail> since hes on an apple
[06:56] <stewraz> did anyone say i was on apple
[06:56] <stewraz> no
[06:56] <Camero1> ATTENTION: If you ever have cube troubles and you need to fix the bug where it wont work when it is enabled, run this code at the follow link in terminal   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/desktop-effects/+bug/89786
[06:56] <PurpZeY> SysFail: Did you say "you moron"?
[06:56] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: I was under the assumption that the forward option would be what would let me resolve the DNS if it wasn't defined by me(that would be every other domain but evansnet)
[06:56] <knoppix> nah man
[06:56] <stewraz> you didnt even bother to try and find out
[06:56] <DjKoRn> anyone? using cedega?
[06:56] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..example of defining localnets http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28041/
[06:56] <quinton> thosmos, I have to get a newer java...
[06:56] <PurpZeY> !anyone | DjKoRn
[06:56] <ubotu> DjKoRn: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[06:57] <PurpZeY> shrimants: What was it?
[06:57] <DjKoRn> or devil may cry 3 se?
[06:57] <jack|Helium> DjKoRn: this is an ubuntu forum "the land of the free, or else..."
[06:57] <underBear> you sure it wasnt abby ?   Abby Normal ?
[06:57] <DjKoRn> ?
[06:57] <Ramzi> Okay. I took gksudo out of the shortcut. When I ran it, it opened and closed very fast. So I went into the terminal. As a user, I got this error:
[06:57] <dts> ahoy crew
[06:57] <Ramzi> Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' in configuration file  History:
[06:57] <DjKoRn> i have cedega on my ubuntu
[06:57] <shrimants> purpzey: i was running a memory test, but when i tried to go into advanced options, but it said Chipset Not Supported
[06:57] <Ramzi> So I ran it with sudo. Then I got this error:
[06:57] <stewraz> and yes, everytime i have tried to come on here for help i get crap responses, this distro will get no where if people like sysfail sit on here saying those things
[06:57] <DjKoRn> what's wrong with you guys?
[06:57] <PurpZeY> shrimants: How did you resolve the issue?
[06:57] <Ramzi> Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' in configuration file  History:
[06:57] <shrimants> i didnt yet
[06:57] <shrimants> :(
[06:57] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185.wrong...if bind is not authoratative for the domain...it goes out and looks up the domain...it does not separate the caching and authoratative functions
[06:57] <knoppix> anyone doin gnwn2?
[06:58] <Ramzi> Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.GameEngine' in configuration file  History:
[06:58] <PurpZeY> DjKoRn: If it's an ubuntu question please ask it. If it's a cadega question seek support through cadega
[06:58] <sue47> stewraz:  what is your issue?
[06:58] <DjKoRn> ?
[06:58] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...you have the right idea if you were using djbdns
[06:58] <SysFail> I get great responses when I come here...ubuntus support is second to none
[06:58] <russe11> stewraz: You need to be patient and a little understanding. People are busy. sysfail gave you a bad response, but he/she's just one guy/gal.
[06:58] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: didn't you have this before
[06:58] <quinton> thosmos, and it says my file type .bin is not supported...
[06:58] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....bind does both..which is part of why it's not as secure
[06:58] <Ramzi> jack: So I'm in the same dilema as before.
[06:58] <sue47> me too SysFail. not always quickly but i always get my prob solved
[06:59] <Ramzi> jack: I have to choose between good res and no game, or game and crap res
[06:59] <DjKoRn> it's pointless... i just want to know if there someone using cadega *ubuntu syste of course that's what im doing here... UBUNTU channel
[06:59] <SysFail> indeed sue
[06:59] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: btw, after you type my name, but before the space/semicolon, hit tab
[06:59] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....we got it nailed down now
[06:59] <lightrush> I am experiencing strange behaviour in my Xorg. After some time of use/idling (usually day and a half - two) my Xorg slowly starts eating CPU and reaches 20% and grows. Any switch between different screen modes for ex. X11 > Framebuffer or X11 > Wine 3D Window, appears to be very slow and as the time passes gets slower and slower. I tried to change nvidia driver back to nv - not helping. any ideas on the matter?
[06:59] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: so, everytime I would do a query for evansnet.com, what would happen?
[06:59] <DjKoRn> dont be so pointless..
[06:59] <PurpZeY> DjKoRn: I imagine someone is using cadega
[06:59] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: how did we fix it the first time?
[06:59] <russe11> DjKoRn: I've used cedega on Ubuntu
[06:59] <DjKoRn> gee is that linux *UBUNTU dont to you!/
[06:59] <knoppix> cedega... dont work for me?
[06:59] <Ramzi> jack: Here was the history of the problem.
[06:59] <Ramzi> Sorry, jack|Helium
[06:59] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....if you had a zone file listing your bind server as authoratative, it would serve what you have in the zone file
[06:59] <DjKoRn> be more polite linux enthusiast..
[07:00] <DjKoRn> yes..
[07:00] <foxjazz> jack|Helium: that's nice
[07:00] <knoppix> wine worked better
[07:00] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: My game would open and close. I came here and found out where the executable was located.
[07:00] <DjKoRn> im having trouble with my cadega...
[07:00] <Mike> well PurpZeY, russe11  envy has run, rebooting now, wish me luck.
[07:00] <foxjazz> Ramzi:
[07:00] <russe11> Mike, good luck!
[07:00] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: it doesn't matter to me, but it highlights it so I can see it better...
[07:00] <DjKoRn> it loads the game and poofs.. i cant play with it.
[07:00] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: So when I ran in the terminal, I got error messages which I googled. Using the restricted drivers fixed this problem.
[07:00] <knoppix> tried wine?
[07:00] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: well it was working fine for the zone I had defined, it was just other random sites that are having trouble
[07:00] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....if you are listing a forwarder, it would use whatever the forwarding dns server finds...not your server
[07:00] <russe11> DjKoRn: That's really not an Ubuntu issue, you should seek help from the Cedega guys.
[07:00] <klobster> once or twice.  I prefer whiskey
[07:00] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: ok, I'm with you so far
[07:00] <DjKoRn> knoppix, i dunno.... it has DirectX?
[07:00] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: But with the restricted drivers, I couldn't improve my resolution.
[07:00] <foxjazz> Anyone know where I can get a software development platform for Linuz?
[07:01] <russe11> DjKoRn: But if you want help, you're going to have to be more specific about your problem.
[07:01] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: So you told me to install some nvidia-argb something something
[07:01] <DjKoRn> russe11, if you cant help just shut up!
[07:01] <foxjazz> Anyone know where I can get a software development platform for Linux
[07:01] <knoppix> what game you trying to run?
[07:01] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....put this in your /etc/named.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28041/
[07:01] <DjKoRn> russe11, i just want you to shut up.
[07:01] <sue47> DjKoRn:  what game is it?
[07:01] <PurpZeY> DjKoRn: Take it easy please.
[07:01] <russe11> DjKoRn: Telling you where to find help IS helping you, and don't tell me to shut up please.
[07:01] <DjKoRn> your useless.
[07:01] <knoppix> i got bg1 and 2 to run under wine
[07:01] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: so at what point did you get this error before?
[07:01] <NeoRex> foxjazz, try KOMODO or Eclipse
[07:01] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....of course substitute your real ips
[07:01] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: As far as I knowm, this only put a giant NVidia logo on my start-up, and we were unable to improve the res.
[07:01] <DjKoRn> sue47, oh devil may cry 3
[07:01] <stalepie> linux fonts are blurry
[07:01] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....and restart bind
[07:01] <n2diy>  foxjazz dev-essential
[07:01] <russe11> DjKoRn: What problem are you having, what happens when it doesn't work?
[07:01] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: do you still have the logo?
[07:01] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: After fucking up my xorg.conf, I used dpkg-recongfigure, and here I am, with good res, and an unworking game
[07:01] <shrimants> i cant even check the CD for errors god d**n it
[07:01] <DjKoRn> russe11, i dont need you... ok?
[07:01] <PurpZeY> !ohmy | Ramzi
[07:01] <ubotu> Ramzi: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:02] <SeanHasAQuestion> I have a question about the synaptic package manager; I see how to install and uninstall apps, can you use it to upgrade to new versions.  I have FireFox 1.5x and want to know if I can use the package manager to upgrade FireFox to 2.x.  Is that possible
[07:02] <Ramzi> knoppix: ut2k4 demo
[07:02] <DjKoRn> devil may cry 3....
[07:02] <stalepie> families love bad language
[07:02] <DjKoRn> im tweaking and fixing my kernels...
[07:02] <russe11> DjKoRn, Please, be polite. I'm trying to help you.
[07:02] <PMT> SeanHasAQuestion, yes.
[07:02] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: you do need those drivers
[07:02] <knoppix> sorry no help for yyou from me
[07:02] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: no
[07:02] <DjKoRn> russe11, no i dont want to.. if you start politely and i would get it?
[07:02] <SeanHasAQuestion> pmt: where do i configure it to do that
[07:02] <Ramzi> sorry, I mean jack|Helium: I don't have the nvidia logo
[07:03] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: in a term as root, or with sudo in front of all commands:
[07:03] <PurpZeY> SeanHasAQuestion: Ubuntu should pickup that you are running an old version of FireFox and pickup and tell you it has an upgrade.
[07:03] <DjKoRn> russe11, sorry...
[07:03] <sue47> sorry i cant help you there. i havent even heard of that one. but i will say that generally wine performs better than cedega. at least from my experience anyway
[07:03] <DjKoRn> russe11, im just freaking our..
[07:03] <Mike> well not only has it worked, and fixed the issue, it installed the driver I was trying to install in the first place!
[07:03] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: alright restarted...I'll try and see if I can recreate the problem...
[07:03] <DjKoRn> russe11, im sorry... ok?
[07:03] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....you have allow-recursion { localnets; }; but you never define localnets...how is it supposed to know what that is?
[07:03] <Mike> ty russe11, PurpZeY
[07:03] <PurpZeY> Mike: Excellent!
[07:03] <DjKoRn> i just want my game runs on linux...
[07:03] <jack|Helium> "cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorgbackup.conf
[07:03] <russe11> Mike, it worked?
[07:03] <PurpZeY> DjKoRn: Have you tried using Wine?
[07:03] <jack|Helium> "X -configure"
[07:03] <Mike> worked very well russe11
[07:03] <russe11> Mike, excellent.
[07:04] <DjKoRn> PurpZeY, yeah.. same issue..
[07:04] <jack|Helium> "nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals"
[07:04] <DjKoRn> well.. im giving up..
[07:04] <sue47> wine seems to run anything i throw at it
[07:04] <SeanHasAQuestion> PurpZeY: Thanks I thought it should work that way, but I am still running the old version.  I'll check it out
[07:04] <Ramzi> Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0         If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock         and start again.

[07:04] <Ramzi> hahaa
[07:04] <Camero1> he does anyone know how to get rid of the Local Disk Icon on your Desktop??
[07:04] <PurpZeY> DjKoRn: Can you describe what happens a bit better?

[07:05] <PurpZeY> DjKoRn: Ok, but, the software runs?
[07:05] <SirSherlock> u clown
[07:05] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: that's why I backed up xorg.conf!
[07:05] <DjKoRn> PurpZeY, yep.. the software runs....

[07:05] <Ramzi> Well, let me hear the plan first
[07:05] <segagman> yes
[07:05] <zbadone> I'm trying to get Beryl to work on my Acer 5102 laptop, sporting a ATI X1100 video card, cant seem to find a driver for this
[07:05] <Ramzi> Are you going to have me try to change my xorg.conf file again?
[07:05] <DjKoRn> PurpZeY, maybe ill play with some options perhaps...
[07:05] <DjKoRn> well... thanks.... again..
[07:05] <jack|Helium> Ramzi:  so if it happens again, we can fix it (but I think X - config will help)
[07:05] <PurpZeY> DjKoRn: I know next to nothing about cadega and even less about wine, but, it sounds like something with settings
[07:05] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: the only thing I don't really understand though is what was going on that was bad with having the forwarder point to that address
[07:05] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: hopefully no
[07:06] <zbadone> I've read I might have to use an ATI X200M, is this true?
[07:06] <DjKoRn> PurpZeY, yeah..
[07:06] <SirSherlock> dfwlinuxguy: oic, im on a low-end machine, can i disable so many from starting up?
[07:06] <sue47> open terminal and type cd ~/Desktop
[07:06] <DjKoRn> ok.. im gonna checks some options...
[07:06] <dfwlinuxguy> sirsherlock...no
[07:06] <DjKoRn> thanks... dude...
[07:06] <DjKoRn> i owe you guys and apology..
[07:06] <DjKoRn> for my bad behavior..
[07:06] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...it will send all request to that IP instead of querying your server
[07:06] <PurpZeY> DjKoRn: No sweat.
[07:06] <DjKoRn> im just losing hope with the game..
[07:06] <DjKoRn> thanks..
[07:06] <sue47> the sudo dpkg -i "full name of the package"
[07:06] <DjKoRn> seeyaG!
[07:06] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...it works right?!!!!
[07:06] <farcl0ud> :)
[07:07] <farcl0ud> djkorn
[07:07] <jack|Helium> DjKoRn: no problem, everyone gets their questions lost in the crowd
[07:07] <DjKoRn> farcl0ud, yes..
[07:07] <jarrod> I have a comp w/ 200 mb ram (give or take) 80gb hardrive and a .5 processor that someone put xp onto. but when i boot xubuntu from disk to install things are incredibly slow and wont run, how it able to run xp but not xubuntu ... am i crazy
[07:07] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: I don't know what happened, I can't find where I had put allow-recursion
[07:07] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: lol ok now I'm feeling a bit retarded here
[07:07] <stalepie> i love how Wine uses sharp fonts which linux itself should use
[07:07] <jack|Helium> jarrod: I used the alternate install cd, I have 128 RAM
[07:07] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..you pasted it here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28040/
[07:08] <n2diy> jarrod:  is it a Dell?
[07:08] <jack|Helium> jarrod: then just sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[07:08] <zbadone> useless chatter
thanks which should i try first?
[07:09] <jack|Helium> jarrod: what do you mean?
wait nvm misinterpreted something, got it now :D
[07:10] <stalepie> would anyone like to help me install a Yamaha sound card? I promise to stop saying negative things about Linux :] 
[07:10] <GenNMX> Does anyone use LVM?
[07:10] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: ok found it. however bind won't restart now
[07:10] <jack|Helium> jarrod: may I recommend E17?
[07:10] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185.error?
[07:10] <jack|Helium> jarrod: www.get-e.org
[07:10] <farcl0ud> lol zbadone
[07:11] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: "/etc/bind/named.conf.local:9: attempt to redefine builtin acl 'localnets'"
[07:11] <klobster> anyone on dapper in here?
[07:11] <nomasteryoda> jarrod stated "but when i boot xubuntu from disk to install things are incredibly slow and wont run" ... booting from live cd can be slow... installed on that system xubuntu should be quite speedy
[07:11] <ivanhoe> hello evryone
[07:11] <nomasteryoda> ymmv
[07:11] <n2diy> klobster: yep
[07:12] <ivanhoe> i have a question i cant use zspoof wit wine
[07:12] <ivanhoe> can i use oter spoofer
[07:12] <ivanhoe> or similar software
[07:12] <GenNMX> stew: I added a new PCI SATA controller to my server, along with 3 more HDDs, which changed the /dev order. At first my non-boot LVM gave "missing UUID" errors, but I fixed that with pvcreate --uuid "the missing uuid" --restorefile /etc/lvm/archive/volumegroup_xxxx.vg /dev/sdd1, and then vgcfgbackup && vgcfgrestore, which allowed me to activate the volume group and logical volume. But now the partition on my LVM has disappeared -- even
[07:12] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..ok...that must be a pre-defined variable based on your network info
[07:12] <jack|Helium> ivanhoe: spoofer?
[07:12] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..ok..sorry
[07:12] <farcl0ud> does feisty come with wine installed?
[07:12] <russe11> farcl0ud: no
[07:12] <ivanhoe> well i dont know the name in english
[07:12] <PurpZeY> farcl0ud: No...sudo apt-get install wine
[07:12] <farcl0ud> cool
[07:12] <russe11> farcl0ud, but if you have internet you can
[07:12] <farcl0ud> thanks
[07:13] <klobster> n2diy: can you run 'readlink sh' and tell me if it is running bash or dash as it's sh link
[07:13] <russe11> farcl0ud... PurpZeY is faster than I am.
[07:13] <ivanhoe> buth is a program from force the webpages from pay
[07:13] <ivanhoe> or other securitis
[07:13] <andrew-8665> KDE VS Gnome, Bite into juicy Burger or stack of dry crackers
[07:13] <n2diy> klobster: roger, wait.
[07:13] <farcl0ud> lol
[07:13] <andrew-8665> sorry had too
[07:13] <farcl0ud> I see russel
[07:13] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..i still don't think you should be forwarding all the requests to that other server if you want it to consult your server for those 2 zone files
[07:13] <farcl0ud> thanks anyway
[07:13] <ivanhoe> for example zspoof in windows
[07:13] <russe11> farcl0ud: good luck
[07:13] <farcl0ud> wine is only 45MB?
[07:13] <PurpZeY> ivanhoe: What's your native language?
[07:13] <jack|Helium> ivanhoe: wine can be wierd... some things "just work" that shouldn't (e.g. WGA, lol)  and some things that should don't
[07:13] <PurpZeY> farcl0ud: It's not big
[07:13] <russe11> farcl0ud: it's that big?
[07:13] <farcl0ud> hahah
[07:14] <levander> Hey, what's this dash stuff?  I though the normal bourne shell in
[07:14] <levander> Linux was bash?
[07:14] <farcl0ud> yep
[07:14] <ivanhoe> mi native is spanish
[07:14] <n2diy> klobster: no response, just a command prompt.
[07:14] <ivanhoe> yes zspoof works
[07:14] <PurpZeY> !es | ivanhoe
[07:14] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..if it queries your server and it isn't authoratative, it will query the root servers and find the answer
[07:14] <ubotu> ivanhoe: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[07:14] <shrimants> hey is core2duo not supported by ubuntu?
[07:14] <ivanhoe> sal e ubotu
[07:14] <RoC_MasterMind> shrimants, works fine.
[07:14] <levander> shrimants: i'm running ubuntu on a c2d right now
[07:14] <farcl0ud> ubotu heh
[07:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about heh - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:14] <PurpZeY> ivanhoe: If you can't get help there, you are welcome here of course, but that may be easier.
[07:14] <ivanhoe> wine can run zsoof but need ie
[07:14] <jack|Helium> shrimants: it ought to be
[07:14] <shrimants> oh
[07:14] <shrimants> hmm
[07:14] <russe11> shrimants: core2 duo processors work fine with ubuntu. I'm using one right now
[07:14] <dfwlinuxguy> shrimants...using an intel core 2 duo here ...no problems
[07:14] <shrimants> it says my chipset isnt supported in the Memory Test
[07:15] <ivanhoe> i cant ie in ubuntu
[07:15] <jack|Helium> ivanhoe: I've heard of people installing IE in linux using wine
[07:15] <RoC_MasterMind> shrimants, Memtest86+ is not Ubuntu.
[07:15] <jack|Helium> ivanhoe: try googling it
[07:15] <PurpZeY> ivanhoe: ies4linux
[07:15] <ivanhoe> well i trade ie 6
[07:15] <PurpZeY> !ies4linux
[07:15] <ubotu> ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine.

[07:15] <farcl0ud> why would you want to run IE in ubuntu ivanhoe?
[07:15] <shrimants> no but like
[07:15] <russe11> shrimants: yeah, just because memtest won't work doesn't mean ubuntu won't
[07:15] <shrimants> i get the weirdest errors
[07:15] <klobster> n2diy: readlink sh gives no response?
[07:15] <ivanhoe> from use the zspoof
[07:15] <brenix> compatibility i guess
[07:15] <RoC_MasterMind> shrimants, that's fine...it has nothing to do with ubuntu.
[07:15] <shrimants> it cant even cehck the CD for errors
[07:15] <russe11> shrimants: What's an error you get?
[07:15] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..still there?
[07:15] <shrimants> 1) failed to allocate mem resource upon booting from live CD, 2) can;t access tty, it boots to (initramfs)
[07:15] <ivanhoe> because can run with firefox
[07:16] <andrew-8665> Core 2 Duo has bugs check intel for bios updates
[07:16] <shrimants> those errors
[07:16] <n2diy> RoC_MasterMind: I thougt memtest was one of the boo options for Ubuntu?
[07:16] <shrimants> it doesnt boot at all
[07:16] <RoC_MasterMind> n2diy, yes.
[07:16] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: that's what I wanted, I want it to be authoritative for evansnet, and I want to forward the DNS queries for every other domain to the servers that can resolve them
[07:16] <levander> Why did they change the standard from bash to dash?
[07:16] <PurpZeY> !dash
[07:16] <ubotu> /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to  #! /bin/bash 
[07:16] <farcl0ud> firefox runs on ubuntu ivanhoe
[07:16] <klobster> n2diy: sorry, that should be readlink /bin/sh
[07:16] <russe11> shrimants: are you sure there isn't a problem with your RAM or Motherboard or something?
[07:16] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..take out the forwarders section ( //)
[07:16] <quinton> Can someone help me find the icon for one of my programs and add it to my applications menu?
[07:16] <n2diy> klobster: roger, wait.
[07:16] <levander> PurpZeY: soooo, why'd they change from bash to dash?
[07:16] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...then restart bind
[07:16] <ivanhoe> well i  say the program zspoof cant use firefox
[07:17] <shrimants> yeah im sure, its an absolutely new computer
[07:17] <PurpZeY> levander: Beats me dude
[07:17] <ivanhoe> only use IE
[07:17] <farcl0ud> winemine sweeeeet
[07:17] <farcl0ud> hahhaha
[07:17] <russe11> shrimants: have you run windows on it?

[07:17] <shrimants> i run windows vista so far
[07:17] <russe11> farcl0ud: i've played that, heh

[07:17] <jack|Helium> jarrod: no, ubuntu alternate (text mode) install disk
[07:17] <ivanhoe> thankyou very much
[07:17] <quinton> Need help with flash and getting program icon in applications!
[07:18] <russe11> shrimants: You might also try the ubuntu alternate install CD
[07:18] <jack|Helium> jarrod: it's fiesty, somewhere on the fiesty download page
[07:18] <farcl0ud> I lost
[07:18] <farcl0ud> heh
[07:18] <klobster> levander purpzey: it's to speed up boot times.
[07:18] <farcl0ud> never was good at that game heh
[07:18] <russe11> farcl0ud: you know ubuntu comes with a minesweeper clone, right?
[07:18] <russe11> :)
[07:18] <farcl0ud> I should get zsnes
[07:18] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: is Ramzi back?
[07:18] <farcl0ud> yeah, I know russel
[07:18] <levander> klobster: they can't run dash on bootup, and leave bash as the
[07:18] <levander> user shell?  i'm not getting it
[07:18] <farcl0ud> I guess wine comes with winemine
[07:19] <russe11> farcl0ud, yeah, i've spent a lot of my life playing zsnes
[07:19] <russe11> farcl0ud, yeah, it does
[07:19] <levander> how does dash reduce bootup times?
[07:19] <farcl0ud> lol, russe11
[07:19] <PurpZeY> shrimants: The alternate install CD had occurred to me...problem is if you can't get the LiveCD to work, then you might not be able to boot once you install...If you have nothing to lose it's worth a shot I think

[07:19] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: alright I took those things out, but some websites still don't resolve
[07:19] <ivanhoe> levander what is your version of ubuntu
[07:19] <levander> NeoRex: they already did that in here
[07:19] <klobster> levander: bash is still user shell.  but shebang sh is now dash, as is sh "myscript"
[07:19] <levander> ivanhoe: feisty
[07:19] <farcl0ud> and it comes with wine notepad heh
[07:19] <ivanhoe> mmm i inestigate a minute plis
[07:20] <ivanhoe> please
[07:20] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...can you pastebin your new named.conf
[07:20] <dfwlinuxguy> ?
[07:20] <quinton> Can I please get assistance in getting flash and making a program run?
[07:20] <klobster> n2diy: I'm sorry the command should have been `readlink /bin/sh` can you try that for me?
[07:20] <levander> Nobody knows an article describing this whole dash phenomena?  I
[07:20] <levander> can't believe I'm just now figuring this out.
[07:20] <russe11> quinton, what exactly are you trying to do?
[07:20] <Evolution2> how can i dump some of my files into my windows because it wont let me do it. any ideas?

[07:22] <ivanhoe> Evolution you yet install the reader from automatix from ntfs
[07:22] <russe11> quinton: if you're just trying to run flash, I may get flamed for this, but Automatix has always worked for me.

[07:23] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[07:23] <foxjazz> Did you get it working Ramz
[07:23] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: So, as you know, I have bad resolutions under -argb-glx-visuals.
[07:23] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28046/
[07:23] <PurpZeY> logreeval: I'm not sure how to do it, but I KNOW it can be done
[07:23] <quinton> russell, How would I go about getting automatix?
[07:23] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...ok...your /etc/named.conf.local then
[07:23] <polopolo> tonyyarusso: where is that then?
[07:23] <logreeval> thats good :D
[07:23] <`eric-> hey, anyone know why i can't see the ipod, it says "do not disconnect" it's connected via 1394
[07:23] <`eric-> :/
[07:23] <PurpZeY> quinton: Automatix is not encouraged.
[07:23] <tonyyarusso> polopolo: The second tab there?
[07:23] <Ramzi> I figured, the xorg.conf when I do dpkg-reconfigure is set up for good resolutions
[07:23] <russe11> quinton, well, like ubotu says, it's not officially recommended, but it "works for me"
[07:23] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...read my mind..thanks
[07:23] <farcl0ud> is this the right command? sudo apt-get install frostwire
[07:23] <russe11> quinton: www.getautomatix.com
[07:23] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: yep
[07:23] <quinton> purpzey, uhmmm, Any help than please?
[07:24] <Ramzi> So, what I did was backed up the "good" xorg.conf, then installed the glx-visuals, and then overwrote my new "bad" xorg.conf with the old good one
[07:24] <foxjazz> hmmm
[07:24] <PurpZeY> russe11: I think telling people to use automatix is frowned upon, I may be wrong
[07:24] <russe11> quinton: that said, I've used it on every ubuntu system I've had at some point.

[07:24] <russe11> PurpZeY, I think you're right.
[07:24] <polopolo> hmmm, I need to install ubuntu, difficalt for me, taht you tonyyarusso
[07:24] <russe11> tonyyarusso, it should be obvious from what I just said that I JUST read that :)
[07:24] <PurpZeY> quinton: Not me, b/c I've never used it, and all I know is OPs and others say not to recommend it
[07:24] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: but that overwrites the nvidia stuff
[07:24] <polopolo> thank you*
[07:24] <Ramzi> And here I am now, but the game doesn't work, I have great resolution, and I don't have a giant NVidia logo on start up
[07:25] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: It was a little experiment to see if xorg.conf files and video drivers are related. They are
[07:25] <jack|Helium> yeah, they are
[07:25] <quinton> purpzey, I just need to get a flash player installed to run frostwire then put a frostwire icon in my applications... possible?
[07:25] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: So you want me to install the glx drivers now and come back?
[07:25] <kury> dfwlinuxguy, no ideas?
[07:25] <jack|Helium> here's an idea
[07:25] <russe11> quinton, I don't really think you need flash player for frostwire do you?
[07:25] <kevinmcc> Does anyone have any experience with slow to install disks.  Ran multiple times and slows to a crawl shortly after starting install.  Same results with TWO different disks and TWO different machines.  -  Yet Debian Etch loaded just fine on both machines.
[07:25] <farcl0ud> what's the command to install frostwire?
[07:25] <russe11> !frostwire
[07:25] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[07:25] <`eric-> hey, anyone know why i can't see the ipod, it says "do not disconnect" it's connected via 1394
[07:25] <jack|Helium> get a good xorg.conf, and an nvidia xorg.conf, and try to mix them
[07:25] <PurpZeY> quinton: Yeah, @ruse11
[07:25] <quinton> russell, It asks for it when I run it
[07:25] <russe11> farcl0ud, I"m not sure...
[07:25] <PurpZeY> !flash
[07:26] <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

[07:26] <russe11> farcl0ud, the OFFICIAL way to do it is what ubotu just said.
[07:26] <Ramzi> Okay. So let me install the nvidia first, and then show you both
[07:26] <jack|Helium> I have to go to bed, but I'm sure foxjazz can help. I'll be back tomorrow too.
[07:26] <Ramzi> be back in a minute
[07:26] <farcl0ud> ok thanks
[07:26] <foxjazz> Ramzi try this http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/rank/?app_id=1185;tips=1
[07:26] <russe11> farcl0ud, I'm not associated with ubuntu in any way, and this isn't the officially sanctioned method, but _I_ would use automatix if I were you.
[07:26] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: I leave it to you now...
[07:26] <NeoRex> kevinmcc, do a MD5 on your discs or use the MD5 check CD function on most LIVE CD menus
[07:26] <HamHamT> I'm having trouble running a game for Linux can somebody help me?
[07:27] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: be back tomorrow...
[07:27] <dfwlinuxguy> kury..sorry....yes it can be done.....but be aware that it is not in inittab anymore
[07:27] <PurpZeY> !anyone | HamHamT
[07:27] <farcl0ud> lol, ok russe11
[07:27] <ubotu> HamHamT: 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?
[07:27] <foxjazz> jack|Helium: got no idea.... I seem to remeber trying bunches of things, and it was simple when I got it to work.
[07:27] <HamHamT> !anyone
[07:27] <foxjazz> http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/rank/?app_id=1185;tips=1
[07:27] <d4rkmonkey> ...
[07:27] <kury> dfwlinuxguy, ya... I'm just trying to find out how... I can't find an example anywhere... :(
[07:27] <dfwlinuxguy> kury..sorry...http://www.howtoforge.com/setting_up_a_serial_console
[07:27] <kevinmcc> Thank you Neo Rex!  I will try that.
[07:27] <HamHamT> When I click the icon for the game nothing happens. I'm not sure whats wrong.
[07:27] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: did you jsut send him to cedega?
[07:28] <NeoRex> kevinmcc, also try burning the disks at a lower burn speed
[07:28] <d4rkmonkey> HamHamT try running the game in a terminal
[07:28] <PurpZeY> HamHamT: What game?
[07:28] <HamHamT> graalonline.com
[07:28] <jwalter> I'm having trouble playing audio CDs: best method? Xfmedia isn't recognising them.
[07:28] <HamHamT> How do I do that d4rkmonkey
[07:28] <d4rkmonkey> do you know how to start up the terminal?
[07:28] <HamHamT> yes
[07:28] <`eric-> how do i mount an ipod using 1394?
[07:28] <russe11> jwalter: that should just work in Ubuntu.
[07:28] <quinton> obotu, I'm not so good with linux, guide me through installing flash?
[07:28] <kevinmcc> I BOUGHT pre burned disks Neo Rex
[07:28] <russe11> jwalter: what problems are you having?
[07:28] <PurpZeY> !ipod
[07:28] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[07:28] <d4rkmonkey> well start up the terminal, then just run the game command.
[07:28] <dfwlinuxguy> kury..sorry...http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28047/
[07:28] <`eric-> yes, i've done that
[07:28] <jwalter> russe11: I'm using Xubuntu.
[07:28] <PurpZeY> quinton: Ubotu is a bot...Just gives information
[07:28] <HamHamT> whats the run command for linux?
[07:28] <russe11> quinton: ubotu is a bot. He's not that smart.
[07:28] <NeoRex> kevinmcc, also research with google, if the 2 computers you are testing this on have an odd chipset on the mother board.
[07:28] <`eric-> it's fine w/ my video ipd
[07:29] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: alright I changed it
[07:29] <`eric-> but this is a 3rd gen
[07:29] <d4rkmonkey> there is no run command
[07:29] <quinton> russell, then you could guide me?
[07:29] <HamHamT> so what am I supposed to do?
[07:29] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: xorg is a mess... I've had so many problems...
[07:29] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..one second...sidetracked
[07:29] <n2diy> HamHamT: just the program name
[07:29] <russe11> quinton: You still trying to install flash?
[07:29] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: that's fine
[07:29] <PurpZeY> `eric-: Unfortunately I just don't know anything about that.
[07:29] <quinton> russell, yes
[07:29] <arooni> help!
[07:29] <kevinmcc> thanks again Neo Rex
[07:29] <arooni> i used to have twin displays working

[07:29] <HamHamT> okay so I typed in graalexe, now what
[07:29] <jwalter> russe11: Xfmedia doesn't recognise the audio CD. Its found in System > Disks, but when I click 'Play Audio CD' nothing happens.
[07:29] <russe11> quinton: using feisty?
[07:29] <arooni> but now they dont appear any more.. in twinview

[07:29] <russe11> jwalter: hmm, not sure.
[07:30] <n2diy> HamHamT: did it start?
[07:30] <HamHamT> how can I tell if a game is an .exe?
[07:30] <russe11> jwalter: tried any other CDs?
[07:30] <PurpZeY> exe?
[07:30] <HamHamT> n2diy: no
[07:30] <PurpZeY> exe is a windows format
[07:30] <HamHamT> i know
[07:30] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: maybe you can look at those two pastes too?
[07:30] <HamHamT> it doesnt say .exe

[07:30] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: looking
[07:30] <HamHamT> it just says graalexe
[07:30] <jwalter> russe11: Yes, a number. Should I try a different multimedia program, i.e. Xine?
[07:30] <HamHamT> not graal.exe
[07:30] <n2diy> HamHamT: did you get an error message?
[07:30] <Ramzi> HamHamT: Did you install Wine like I told you to?
[07:30] <HamHamT> this is what happened:
[07:30] <russe11> quinton: you should be able to install that, then go through and check the box for flash.

[07:32] <russe11> jwalter: well, I'm not using xubuntu, but I just play cds in rhythmbox.
[07:32] <farcl0ud> how do I change my color from 24bit to 16bit?
[07:32] <HamHamT> so what am I supposed to do now
[07:32] <quinton> russell, what do you mean to check in java?
[07:33] <n2diy> Open suse, what's that?
[07:33] <SirSherlock> farcl0ud: do this...
[07:33] <d4rkmonkey> I was able to install Feisty on my HP Compaq 6710b with the alternate CD, but whenever I start it up, I get an xorg error.  The chipset is supposed to be supported, but it doesn't seem to work in the current version that Feisty Uses. Is there a unstable version of Gutsy out now? If so, where can I download?
[07:33] <russe11> quinton, sorry, I don't recall saying anything about java?
[07:33] <kury> dfwlinuxguy, ya but.. how do you get it working on a parport?
[07:33] <BrodicK> hey guys...installed wifi driver but wifi is still not working...any sugestions
[07:33] <SirSherlock> farcl0ud: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:33] <jwalter> russe11: Alright, thanks for the help. I'll try a few different programs.. its not the hardware, I don't think.
[07:33] <quinton> russell, You said install automatix and it should work then just check in java.
[07:33] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: can you finish up with Ramzi, his pastes are: http://www.everfall.com/paste/id.php?bkxt3wrvgehx http://www.everfall.com/paste/id.php?atj7aa249bfj try to piece together a working xorg.conf out of them
[07:33] <russe11> quinton: just check the box for flash.
[07:33] <SirSherlock> find the line near the bottom where it says, defaultdepth
[07:33] <SirSherlock> and change it to what u want
[07:34] <SirSherlock> save and  restartX
[07:34] <dfwlinuxguy> kury..my bad...all I've ever tried was a serial port not parallel port
[07:34] <russe11> quinton: did you get automatix installed?
[07:34] <Mackalin> Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the mouse working under VirtualPC 2007?
[07:34] <pramz> smile for the screenshot people
[07:34] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: You're going?
[07:34] <PurpZeY> HamHamT: It looks to me like a segmentation fault means there is a bug in the program
[07:34] <farcl0ud> ok sirsherlock, what now?
[07:34] <d4rkmonkey> I was able to install Feisty on my HP Compaq 6710b with the alternate CD, but whenever I start it up, I get an xorg error.  The chipset is supposed to be supported, but it doesn't seem to work in the current version that Feisty Uses. Is there a unstable version of Gutsy out now? If so, where can I download?
[07:34] <quinton> russell, yes
[07:34] <russe11> quinton, okay, if you run it
[07:34] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: its nearly 2 am here. I need to go I will be back tomorrow, however. If all else fails, try putting everything so far in the forums. Usually people there can be really helpful.
[07:34] <SirSherlock> edit the line about defaultdepth
[07:34] <SirSherlock> should say 24 now
[07:34] <russe11> quinton, you should see a category for "Codecs and Plugins"
[07:34] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..unless you are using IPV6 you should comment out listen-on-v6 { any; };
[07:34] <russe11> quinton: under that will be Flash Player
[07:35] <HamHamT> wait hold on I put in the wrong game
[07:35] <russe11> quinton: the way I install flash player is to check that box, and press "Start"
[07:35] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..or put none if appropriate
[07:35] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: Okay, thanks for all of your help.
[07:35] <quinton> russell, ok, I have only been using linux for 6 hours... so how would I find that?
[07:35] <Ramzi> jack|Helium: Goodnight
[07:35] <jack|Helium> sorry, but I'll be back. I'll search for your post in the forum
[07:35] <HamHamT> this is the correct one:
[07:35] <HamHamT> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28050/
[07:35] <jack|Helium> goodnight!
[07:35] <russe11> quinton: what are you trying to find?
[07:35] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...then restart bind
[07:35] <russe11> quinton: are you able to run automatix?

[07:35] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: oh, I just tried something and things are starting to work
[07:35] <NeoRex> Mackalin,If you are using a USB mouse: in your prefs of MVPC2007, enable sharingg of USB devices.
[07:35] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..what did you do?
[07:36] <russe11> quinton: it should appear in applications - system tools - automatix, if it was installed successfully.
[07:36] <quinton> russell, i wouldnt know how, I just know it installed
[07:36] <russe11> quinton: do you see it there?

[07:36] <dts> the default ubuntu kernel does not know reiser4 correct?
[07:36] <quinton> russell, gotcha
[07:36] <Ramzi> foxjazz: Did you see my xorg.conf files?
[07:36] <HamHamT> it says my license file is invalid
[07:36] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: well crap...I changed something, restarted the server(it failed to restart but I didn't notice)...so I actually didn't fix anything
[07:37] <farcl0ud> I have no idea how to edit config files sirsherlock
[07:37] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: I just disabled my DNS server...
[07:37] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..what's the error?
[07:37] <Hazarath> Question/problem: KTorrent keeps crashing on me, just totally random. How can I either fix it, or get something to re-launch if it dies?
[07:37] <joshritger> i am trying to use samba to share a folder can somone point me to a help site for samba
[07:37] <quinton> russell, says retrieving keys... kinda isnt moving off that...
[07:37] <farcl0ud> I did find the right line though sirsherlock
[07:37] <russe11> quinton: give it a little time, especially if you have a slow connection.
[07:38] <PurpZeY> HamHamT: I'm not sure what that error means, but it doesn't seem that it is terribly complicated...I am looking into it, meanwhile, ask the rest of the channel
[07:38] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..i don't recognize auth-nxdomain no;
[07:38] <SirSherlock> farcl0ud: did  sudo nano /etc/X11xorg.conf work
[07:38] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..and listen-on-v6 { any; } should be disabled if not using IPV6
[07:38] <shaneCO> Hi, I'm trying to set up file sharing on my opensuse 10.2 computer with Samba. Now, on my Windows computer I can see my opensuse folders, but I'm asked for a username and password to access them. How can I get rid of that username/password stuff?
[07:38] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..that could be confusing it
[07:38] <quinton> russell, some keys could not be d/l try again later
[07:38] <HamHamT> I've been trying to install this for 3 days now, linux has just given me headaches
[07:38] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: it was just a typo, but I put this in there: "allow-recursion { 192.168.1.106; };" where 192.168.1.106 is the computer I'm using now
[07:38] <farcl0ud> how do I save the file sirsherlock?
[07:38] <russe11> quinton, that stinks. I guess you try again later :(
[07:39] <SirSherlock> ctrl+x
[07:39] <SirSherlock> then answer y
[07:39] <Mackalin> NeoRex: Thanks, I will give that a try.  I tried to update the kernal with a fix I saw posted on the forums, but to no luck.
[07:39] <n2diy> shaneCO: what is open suse?
[07:39] <shaneCO> opensuse is a linux distro
[07:39] <PurpZeY> HamHamT: Is this freeware?
[07:39] <quinton> russell, hm... Yes it does stink... and no I dont have a slow connection ><; I have comcast with 4000 ram
[07:39] <farcl0ud> hrmmmm
[07:39] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..allow-recursion { localnets; 192.168.1.106; };
[07:39] <ivanhoe> softwre libre
[07:39] <russe11> 4000 ram?
[07:39] <ivanhoe> fron exactly
[07:39] <HamHamT> PurpZeY: yes
[07:39] <russe11> quinton: what's that?
[07:39] <ivanhoe> free software
[07:40] <ivanhoe> free as a freedom
[07:40] <quinton> russell, yes 4gig of memory stick
[07:40] <PurpZeY> HamHamT: Unfortunately, I've never encountered that and I don't know what it means...I imagine someone does.
[07:40] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..192.168.1.106 is probably redundant in that case
[07:40] <russe11> quinton: That shouldn't have anything to do with anything.
[07:40] <Hazarath> Need help with KTorrent and random crashes.
[07:40] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....check on the IPV6 thingy
[07:40] <farcl0ud> sirsherlock, zsnes still thinks my depth is set at 24
[07:40] <jack|Helium> Ramzi: you there?
[07:40] <quinton> russell, hm never know... It did alot of meaning on windows xp
[07:40] <farcl0ud> what's up with that
[07:40] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: I just did...no luck
[07:40] <jack|Helium> on final thought

[07:42] <d4rkmonkey> PurpZeY where could I download this alpha of gutsy?

[07:43] <n2diy> d4monkey, no,\ #ubuntu+1?
[07:43] <d4rkmonkey> ...
[07:43] <PurpZeY> HamHamT: It has a learning curve, once you get moving, you'll be OK..You just have to get used it.
[07:43] <quinton> russell, hah! hm... my windows tinyxp BEAST (thats what I called it) had a macosX look and could run just about any game on earth with the little lag.
[07:43] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...ok there's the problem
[07:43] <jack|Helium> foxjazz: you there?
[07:43] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: As in #ubuntu + 1
[07:43] <d4rkmonkey> I was asking what +1 was.. then I joined the channel and figured out myself ;)

[07:44] <d4rkmonkey> uhh
[07:44] <d4rkmonkey> low
[07:44] <PurpZeY> d4rkmonkey: I disagree
[07:44] <d4rkmonkey> oh wait
[07:44] <d4rkmonkey> I thought you meant install
[07:44] <TheCreationist> I'm running Ubuntu Feisty.  How do I change the default application for video files to VLC?
[07:45] <d4rkmonkey> shrimants, the alternate will boot fine
[07:45] <Hazarath> Do I have voice? o.O
[07:45] <PurpZeY> shrimants: The whole point of the alternate is to install where the livecd may have failed....

[07:45] <russe11> quinton, but I can't get all games to work.
[07:45] <mdszepher> How can I set up Ubuntu Feisty Fawn to automatically detect my USB wireless reciever when I log in?
[07:45] <quinton> russell, cool cool
[07:45] <PurpZeY> shrimants: Like I said before, if you have nothing to lose, just go ahead and try to install via alternate

[07:46] <d4rkmonkey> shrimants, I couldn't get live to work, but I installed with the alternate. The only problem is that now the install doesn't work well. Graphics issue. I'm going to try running gutsy to see if that has an update xorg or something in it
[07:46] <quinton> russell, dont you have aol instant messanger or something?
[07:46] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...zone "." IN  ---- you might have more than one...I don't see bind.ca referenced in the pastebin you sent for named.conf.* ...that file I bet is empty
[07:46] <Hazarath> Can anyone read this? o.o;;;
[07:46] <n2diy> roger, I thought Gutsy was +1, oh well, my bad.
[07:46] <PurpZeY> Hazarath: what?
[07:46] <russe11> quinton: through pidgin, of course.
[07:46] <PurpZeY> n2diy: The chan for gutsy, atm, is +1
[07:46] <Hazarath> PurpZeY, Thanks, thought I didn't have voice, or something.
[07:47] <russe11> quinton: feel free to contact me via AIM. My sn is RussNameTaken
[07:47] <Kakurady> n2diy: You can add ubuntu+1 to the bot's database yourself.
[07:47] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...make sure zone "." IN  ---- doesn't point to an empty file (named.ca)
[07:47] <n2diy> PurpZeY: ok, I'm I going crazy, or is it Uboutu?

[07:48] <Hazarath> PurpZeY, did you get my question earlier?
[07:48] <PurpZeY> Hazarath: no
[07:49] <farcl0ud> ugh, zsnesw still doesn't work
[07:49] <Hazarath> PurpZeY, KTorrent randomly dies, and I'm trying to figure out either why it's doing so, or if there's some kinda auto-relauncher that I can get to re-start it if it dies.
[07:49] <John`> how come in Gaim, when i try to click on a link, it doesn't open up in firefox?
[07:49] <John`> do i need to activate someting?

[07:49] <n2diy> PurpZeY: How do I update the bot?

[07:51] <mdszepher> How can I set up Ubuntu Feisty Fawn to automatically detect my USB wireless reciever when I log in?
[07:51] <Kakurady> Huh? I thought anyone can update the ubuntu factroid database... no?
[07:51] <Hirvinen> roxygirl: Find the command for doing a single conversion, then use find with the -exec switch to apply it to the files you want converted.
[07:51] <n2diy> PurpZeY: Kakurady, it is probably best I don't play with the bot, and consider going to sleep?
[07:52] <PurpZeY> n2diy: I've been considering going to sleep for 40 minutes, yet I sit here and smoke and be an idiot instead
[07:52] <Kakurady> n2diy: don't ask me. I'm a newbie to Ubuntu myself.
[07:52] <floppyears> hi guys
[07:52] <d4rkmonkey> John`, I'm sorry I couldn't find anything either :S
[07:52] <Kakurady> Espcially when I'm chatting in Windows now...
[07:52] <John`> yeah
[07:52] <John`> thats weird
[07:52] <floppyears> I want to be able to send mail from my machine
[07:52] <John`> i always wonder why
[07:52] <John`> lol
[07:52] <d4rkmonkey> lol
[07:52] <floppyears> what do you guys recommend I setup: exim, postfix or sendmail ?
[07:52] <roxygirl> Hirvinen:  sorry, i don't even know where to begin with any of that...
[07:52] <Mackalin> I know, I have to use my "keyboard" num-pad as my mouse, lol its annoying
[07:52] <PurpZeY> floppyears: evolution
[07:52] <floppyears> PurpZeY: hehe
[07:53] <John`> does anyone use Gaim here in this channel?
[07:53] <floppyears> I want a server :)
[07:53] <John`> or is it just me
[07:53] <John`> lol
[07:53] <floppyears> John`: what's your question ?
[07:53] <d4rkmonkey> its just you :P
[07:53] <mdszepher> I am using Gaim
[07:53] <PurpZeY> floppyears: oh..my bad, I have no idea
[07:53] <ryan_____> I prefer Kopete
[07:53] <Mackalin> I am currently using Gaim
[07:53] <roxygirl> hirvenen: where do i go to find the command?
[07:53] <John`> well, i can't click on a link
[07:53] <John`> it won't transfer to firefox
[07:53] <Kakurady> Well, Pidgin cannot connect to QQ anymore,
[07:53] <floppyears> PurpZeY: oh, sorry I thought you were making a joke
[07:53] <John`> or something
[07:53] <Kakurady> so I dropped it.
[07:53] <Mackalin> type in /help
[07:53] <mdszepher> John`: Neither can I
[07:53] <floppyears> anybody who can help me with my question ?
[07:53] <PurpZeY> floppyears: let's pretend I was
[07:53] <yoyo> is there a debootstrap that i can run on fedora?
[07:53] <n2diy> PurpZeY: yes, it is easy to be an idiot at this time of night. Kakurady, most of us are newbies, some of us aren't as new as others, that is the only difference.
[07:53] <John`> is there a way to do it or a plugin?
[07:53] <Kakurady> It's not like it's Pidgin developer's fault...
[07:53] <yoyo> i'm trying to create a VM of Ubuntu on my FC7 Xen server
[07:54] <SirSherlock> whats the newest ubuntu name?
[07:54] <yoyo> FeistyFawn
[07:54] <PurpZeY> Gutsy
[07:54] <floppyears> PurpZeY: will do :)
[07:54] <Kakurady> n2diy: Night? It's 2 o'clock in the afternoon here. By the way... I live in Shanghai.
[07:54] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...ok here is a working named.conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28052/ you will have to edit it to match your situation....the pri/ is a relevant path to the "directory" back up your named.conf and replace it with this version with your edits and re-start named
[07:54] <brenix> Gutsy gibbon
[07:54] <d4rkmonkey> Gutsy Gibbno

[07:54] <d4rkmonkey> ...
[07:54] <d4rkmonkey> *gibbon
[07:54] <PurpZeY> Kakurady: I've been shanhaied
[07:54] <d4rkmonkey> :D
[07:54] <John`> ok.. so what chat client let you click on link..?
[07:54] <mdszepher> 12:54 am, I should go to bed, but I'm in the middle of updates :(
[07:54] <Kakurady> PurpZeY: What's that.
[07:54] <d4rkmonkey> John`, what are you using gaim for?
[07:54] <PurpZeY> 1:54 a.m.
[07:55] <SirSherlock> do all the ubuntu names have a theme behind them?
[07:55] <PurpZeY> John`: Why not ask in #pidgin ?
[07:55] <SirSherlock> like debian does with Toystory
[07:55] <John`> to chat.. but i like to click on links sometimes if someone post me a link.
[07:55] <John`> haha
[07:55] <Flannel> SirSherlock: Theyre all Adjective Animal
[07:55] <n2diy>  Kakurady, roger that, it is 0153 here, in the eastertern US.
[07:55] <Flannel> SirSherlock: and from now on they're alphabetical, although the first few werent
[07:55] <Kakurady> PurpZeY: Ow! To bed! Wait... it's sunday.
[07:56] <jontec> PurpZeY: that'll be 12.11, I've got inside information
[07:56] <Hirvinen> roxygirl: Use your package manager to find a command line tool for doing a conversion. There probably is one, and it's probably called something like wma2mp3. Then read man find, but what you want is probably something like "find <directory under which all the files are> -iname '*wma' -exec <command to convert the file> {} \;"
[07:56] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...you are including additional files (named.conf.local and who knows what else) and it looks like maybe your hint file for the root servers maybe duplicated and possibly wrong
[07:56] <SirSherlock> PurpZeY: is it really hungry hippos
[07:56] <SirSherlock> the next one
[07:56] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone know what month Feisty was released in?
[07:56] <jontec> 4
[07:56] <jontec> April
[07:56] <SirSherlock> april i believe
[07:56] <Flannel> d4rkmonkey: 7.04, so 04 of 2007
[07:56] <PurpZeY> SirSherlock: I highly doubt it
[07:56] <d4rkmonkey> Thanks :)
[07:56] <Kakurady> Gutsy will be released in October (7.10).
[07:56] <Hirvinen> d4rkmonkey: The Ubuntu version number format is <year>.<month of release>
[07:56] <SirSherlock> so thats what the 04 means huh
[07:56] <n2diy> d4monkey, the release number tells you.
[07:56] <SirSherlock> very nice
[07:56] <Kakurady> Ubuntu releases in April and October...
[07:57] <Kakurady> Xcept 606 ^_-
[07:57] <SirSherlock> come on October
[07:57] <jontec> SirSherlock: no... the next will not be hungry hippos (it'd be hungry hippo; no s)
[07:57] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: ok I tried to use that file, it didn't work let me check what went wrong...
[07:57] <jontec> hehe
[07:57] <jontec> that was a good yea

[07:57] <Kakurady> What's an Eft?
[07:57] <jontec> me

[07:58] <Kakurady> Newt... |||
[07:58] <jontec> hehe, he said awesome
[07:58] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...you will have to edit the pid-file and "directory" and point to your zone files (use the absolute path if necessary)
[07:58] <PurpZeY> EFT: the terrestrial life stage of a newt. A newt is a type of salamander that has a terrestrial juvenile stage and semi-aquatic adult stage.
[07:58] <TheCreationist> I'm running Ubuntu Feisty.  How do I change the default application for video files to VLC?
[07:58] <PurpZeY> and on that note. I am going to sleepy.
[07:58] <PurpZeY> Goodnight and goodluck.
[07:58] <SirSherlock> ubotu: nice
[07:58] <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
[07:58] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...allow-transfer is a bogus IP as well, but only needed if you have primary and secondary servers
[07:59] <John`> where is the gnome preferred applications control panel?
[07:59] <jontec> ohhh... this is #ubuntu, not #kubuntu :D
[07:59] <defrysk> TheCreationist, rightcklik the file , select properties and select the open with tab and select the app you wish to open it with
[08:00] <jontec> uh oh voltron is on
[08:00] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...directory "/var/cache/bind"; in your case
[08:00] <levander> John`: system -> preferences -> preferred applications
[08:00] <n2diy> John systems> prefrences > preferred apps?
[08:00] <SirSherlock> does ubuntu have a sole creator, or was it a joint effor
[08:00] <SirSherlock> t
[08:00] <Kakurady> ...
[08:00] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: could not configure root hints from 'named.ca': file not found
[08:01] <ryan_____> its sponsered
[08:01] <John`> thanks
[08:01] <Kakurady> Well, Ubuntu is sponsered by SABDFL.
[08:01] <levander> SirSherlock: the company behind it is called Canonical.
[08:01] <Madpilot> SirSherlock, Linux is a giant joint effort
[08:01] <levander> Mark Shuttleworth is the entrepeur behind Canonical.
[08:01] <SirSherlock> so ubuntu has commercial backing?
[08:01] <John`> for those don't know how to open link in gaim.. just go to system> preference > prefeerred browser and pick firefox.
[08:01] <jontec> isn't it based in South Africa
[08:01] <Kakurady> Yeah, but...
[08:01] <John`> it works for me
[08:01] <jontec> SirSherlock: kind of
[08:01] <levander> Shuttleworth far from did most of the work himself though, is in
[08:01] <levander> no way a "sole creator"
[08:01] <jontec> !canonical
[08:01] <ubotu> Canonical Ltd. is committed to the development, distribution and promotion of open source software products, and to providing tools and support to the open source community.

[08:02] <andrew-8665> ..........
[08:02] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...change zone "." to file "/etc/bind/db.root";
[08:02] <Kakurady> Most pieces of the Ubuntu system are taken from other projects.
[08:02] <John`> thank you
[08:02] <levander> Kakurady: debian being the main "other projects".
[08:02] <Kakurady> ...|||
[08:02] <Kakurady> Yeah.
[08:03] <n2diy> levander:  what are you talking about? the sole creator was Linus, no?
[08:03] <SirSherlock> good ole debian
[08:03] <Kakurady> No!
[08:03] <Kakurady> Absolutely not...
[08:03] <Kakurady> We're talking about the OS,
[08:03] <SirSherlock> oh and another question, where does the word linux come from?
[08:03] <Kakurady> not the Kernel.
[08:03] <Kakurady> The Linux Kernel... Well it is named after linus,
[08:03] <andrew-8665> lee nux
[08:03] <n2diy> levander:  and, ok, maybe, RHS
[08:03] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..your zone "127.in-addr.arpa" to file "/etc/bind/db.0"
[08:04] <Kakurady> but even Linux is developed by thousands of developers.
[08:04] <Mackalin> Hence, the word, "opensource"
[08:04] <ryan_____> lee nux is the technical pronunciation. but the american way is li nux
[08:04] <Kakurady> And Linux is only a Kernel - a tiny, but the most important, part of any GNU/Linux operation systems.
[08:04] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: alright
[08:05] <ceil420> ryan_____, Torvalds doesn't care :p
[08:05] <n2diy> ! linux
[08:05] <arooni> hey folks

[08:05] <arooni> ideas
[08:05] <ryan_____> ceil420: I know
[08:05] <ceil420> "lee nux" is just how it's pronounced because that's how it's pronounced in his native tongue
[08:05] <bastid_raZor> xinerama
[08:05] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..that leaves zone "localhost" -- you changed it as well right?
[08:05] <cotyrothery> what is the command please to give myself permission to a folder that only allows root access
[08:05] <n2diy> ! linus
[08:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linus - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:05] <andrew-8665> gnu is not unix
[08:05] <ceil420> andrew-8665, so they say
[08:05] <jwalter> I'm having trouble with playing audio CDs in Xubuntu. The system recognises the CD, but Xfmedia doesn't. Any ideas?
[08:06] <brenix> chmod
[08:06] <ryan_____> ceil420: My point was that it is pronounced differently all over the world
[08:06] <bastid_raZor> arooni: try using xinerama instead
[08:06] <n2diy> andrew-8665: then why is it called gnu?
[08:06] <amon__> Jwalter, your using Dapper/Xubuntu huh
[08:06] <Kakurady> The whole GNU/Linux thing is quite confusing yet strangely amusing.
[08:06] <andrew-8665> sco
[08:06] <yoyo> is there a debootstrap that i can run on fedora?
[08:06] <Flannel> guys take it to, #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. and it's "Lin-ux" not "Leeenux". a schwa, not a long e.
[08:06] <yoyo> i'm trying to create a VM of Ubuntu on my FC7 Xen server
[08:06] <jwalter> amon: Yes, Dapper Drake.
[08:06] <amon__> jwalter, change programs for CD audio - Xfmedia is horrible and from what I see it has been discontinued.
[08:07] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: not yet, it's complaining about the pid file name, I'm trying to find it
[08:07] <jwalter> Which program do you suggest, amon?
[08:07] <amon__> jwalter, install through Synaptic - VLC, or XMMS something like that.
[08:07] <cotyrothery> can someone please give me the terminal command to make it were i can write to a certain folder like /lib/
[08:07] <bastid_raZor> VLC~!
[08:07] <amon__> Xfmedia is not even continued anymore for good reason ;)
[08:07] <Kakurady> Flannel: Alright.
[08:07] <arooni> bastid_raZor: does it work with beryl?
[08:07] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..<command> locate named.pid
[08:08] <bastid_raZor> arooni: i am using xinerama and yes beryl works fine.
[08:08] <jwalter> Alright, thanks. Its just, my system is pretty poor, so I'm looking for particularly lightweight players.
[08:08] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: that comes up with nothing, as does bind.pid and bind9.pid
[08:08] <jontec> cotyrothery: there is no command. You need to be root to change the permissions on the folder. do `sudo chown -R user /path/to/folder`. but you shouldn't be +manually writing to lib. just... no. lib should belong to root
[08:08] <amon__> Jwalter, XMMS is even more lightweight than Xfmedia, so don't sweat it =)
[08:08] <cotyrothery> thanks
[08:08] <jwalter> K, thanks.
[08:08] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185.change it to just /var/run...or create /var/run/named and chown to the user that your bind server runs as then try again
[08:09] <jontec> cotyrothery: Manually writing to /lib is not good practice and will most likely screw something up.
[08:09] <arooni> bastid_raZor: hmmm it was working before
[08:09] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185.mkdir /var/run/named; chown -R bind:bind /var/run/named
[08:09] <yoyo> anyone here use Xen?
[08:10] <jontec> cotyrothery: A.) you should be root when you do it and B.) no offense, but if you don't know the command for chown, you shouldn't be messing with anything outside your home directory
[08:11] <geekkit> anyone know where the universe/multiverse file is so that I can add the following to it: deb http://ubuntu.davromaniak.eu feisty-depomaniak all

[08:19] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...are you still putting in zone "0.in-addr.arpa" and zone "255.in-addr.arpa" ? all of the lines starting with zone should have IN before {
[08:20] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..don't include the 2 I just referenced and be sure that every line that starts with zone has IN before {
[08:20] <AMIGAO> who is faster: debian or ubuntu?
[08:20] <DIM> wierd i installed and its in apps/internet but wont start ?
[08:20] <CppIsWeird> AMIGAO, duh.
[08:20] <pramz> AMIGAO, faster ?
[08:21] <isaac_> amiago:your question is to vague
[08:21] <AMIGAO> yes
[08:21] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..all your lines that start with zone are missing the IN
[08:21] <Flannel> AMIGAO: It doesn't matter.  Theyre both the same.
[08:21] <quinton> Need simple assistance with icons please!
[08:21] <dfwlinuxguy> !!!!!
[08:21] <pramz> what exactly do you mean by faster? Do you notice the few nano seconds difference between distros ?
[08:21] <CppIsWeird> Need complex assistance with sound please!
[08:21] <dfwlinuxguy> need help with !!!!!!! please
[08:21] <CppIsWeird> i need help with my zipper.
[08:21] <Kakurady> ^_^!!
[08:22] <AMIGAO> i only have 256mb of ram, in ubuntu.com says that is the minimun
[08:22] <pramz> i just tried out voyagecenturyonline . Runs nice with wine
[08:22] <dijital1> how do you modify firefox file associations?
[08:22] <CppIsWeird> dijital1, preferences
[08:22] <Kakurady> quinton, please ask again with more details.
[08:22] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: I don't know where you're talking about
[08:22] <dijital1> it's currently using mplayerplug-in to play shoutcast streams but I want it to use xmms/audacious
[08:22] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185../etc/named.conf
[08:22] <DIM> do i need to restrat after installing ? im sorry im newer to nix
[08:23] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..lines that start with zone should have "IN" (without quotes) before the {
[08:23] <dijital1> where in preferences CppIsWeird?
[08:23] <AMIGAO> i think firefox runs faster in windows, why? is something wrong with my pc on linux?
[08:23] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..example zone "127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
[08:23] <pramz> dijital1, under content
[08:23] <quinton> kakurady, I have a game named dofus... Once unzipped. I do not know how to install but it have a .html file that runs the game and must remain in the folder at all times... I want this in applications and maybe a single icon?
[08:23] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..not zone "127.in-addr.arpa" {
[08:23] <pramz> dijital1, then select file types
[08:24] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: ok, my named.conf I had before I tried the one you gave me didn't have it, but I'm not using that right now, I'm using the one you gave me
[08:25] <Kakurady> quinton: Sorry I'm not familiar with Linux, but I think there's some menu editor that comes with Ubuntu.
[08:25] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..ok pastebin what I sent you with your changes
[08:25] <DIM> ok i ctrl/alt/backspace and reloged in still it dont work ??
[08:25] <DIM> can i pm you kyled ?
[08:25] <AMIGAO> why is firefox running faster on windows? does anybody knows? maybe because i only have 256mb ram?
[08:25] <jwalter> I'm having more trouble with audio CDs. The XMMS README tells me I need to play from the /mnt/cdrom or similar directory, not the /dev/cdrom. The thing is, when I explore the /mnt directory in Thunar there's nothing there. Help?
[08:25] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28056/
[08:25] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter /dev/cdrom is a device  /media/cdrom is a mount point
[08:26] <jwalter> dfwlinuxguy: How do I make a mount point?
[08:27] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..ok pastebin cat /etc/bind/db.0
[08:27] <ksivaji> hi
[08:28] <ceil420> !offtopic
[08:28] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter a mountpoint is just a directory you use/create to mount a device like a disk filesystem or cdrom...you create one as easy as sudo mkdir /media/cdrom
[08:28] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:28] <DIM> hmm i instaled frostwire and it installed correct its in my apps/internet but when i click it nothing happens ?
[08:28] <arooni> anyone have twinview working????   i can only get my second monitor at 800x600
[08:28] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28057/
[08:28] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter /media/cdrom probably already exists
[08:28] <arooni> even though it supports 1280x1024
[08:29] <jwalter> K.
[08:29] <RoundyT1> can someone help me with a mysql error on my ubuntu server
[08:29] <RoundyT1> ?
[08:29] <DIM> anyone ???
[08:30] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..cat /etc/hosts ...pastebin
[08:30] <jwalter> dfwlinuxguy: /media/cdrom exists but there are no tracks.
[08:30] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..cat /etc/host.conf ...pastebin
[08:30] <jwalter> Nothing appears in XMMS either.
[08:30] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter you can't mount an audio cd
[08:31] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28058/
[08:31] <kyled185> DIM: are you using compiz/beryl?
[08:31] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..ok you are missing some stuff..one sec
[08:31] <John`> how come whenever i mount something with -o loop it just dissapear after i restart and have to mount again?
[08:32] <John`> is there a way to prevent that
[08:32] <John`> and i'm mounting an iso file
[08:32] <RoundyT1> can someone help me with a mysql error on my ubuntu server
[08:32] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..replace it with this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28059/
[08:32] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..get rid of the IPV6 stuff
[08:32] <kyled185> John`: you have to edit your /etc/fstab
[08:32] <zcat[1] > John`: put it in /etc/fstab
[08:33] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..and replace kylesmachine with your actual machine name
[08:34] <John`> what do i put in gedit /etc/fstab
[08:34] <John`> ?
[08:34] <jwalter> How do I make a permanent mount point for my CDROM drive, then?
[08:34] <John`> to make it auto
[08:34] <jwalter> I don't really understand.
[08:34] <zcat[1] > John`: example;  (change /tmpfs to yout iso and ext3 to isofs and add an option for ro)  /TEMPFS         /tmp            ext3    defaults,loop   0       0
[08:34] <MarkCh> if i make an application using monodevelop, can i get this application to run on other platforms like windows?
[08:34] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: I assume I should restart networking after changing that?
[08:34] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter if you want to play a CD with a media player such as XMMS with a cd that has audio tracks you have to put /dev/cdrom (or the actual device not a mount point)
[08:35] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185..not necessary
[08:35] <dijital1> anyone have an idea how to change what firefox uses to play .pls files?
[08:35] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....nslookup domainthatisnotresolving.com
[08:36] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: same as before
[08:36] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....do you see any errors in /var/log/syslog?
[08:37] <jwalter> dfwlinuxguy: nothing appears in /dev/cdrom? I navigate to it in XMMS but it is treated as an empty directory.
[08:37] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...still responding with Non-authoritative answer Name: bind.com/ ?
[08:37] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: the doubleclick.net didn't work, why is that even there?
[08:37] <RoundyT1> mysql failed to start after running sudo apt-get upgrade....any ideas?
[08:37] <foxjazz> foxja
[08:38] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: right, and adress of 0.0.0.0
[08:38] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter you can use dmesg | less to find out what device your cdrom is assigned to (/dev/hdc for example)
[08:39] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...that was an example...I created a zone file that sent all requests for doubleclick.net to 0.0.0.0 so I didn't have to see ads
[08:39] <jwalter> dfwlinuxguy: Sorry, I'm new to Linux. You mean to say, enter dmesg | less into the terminal?
[08:39] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: oh wow...very nice
[08:39] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter yes
[08:39] <RoundyT1> mysql failed to start after running sudo apt-get upgrade....any ideas?
[08:39] <jwalter> K.
[08:39] <homanj> is there a way to get ubuntu to play AAC files?
[08:39] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: never thought about doing that
[08:40] <Fantastic_Bob> kyled185[08:40] <jwalter> dfwlinuxguy: Hm. What am I looking for in the results for dmesg | less?
[08:41] <jwalter> There's a whole lot of text.
[08:41] <jontec> homanj: yup. amaroK. I love that app to death (but I'm kubuntu)
[08:41] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...it just uses the same file as localhost so that all requests are sent to the local machine instead of actually serving me those stupid ads
[08:41] <Tom01> whats a command to see what my ip is on my server
[08:41] <homanj> jontec: only amarok then?
[08:42] <jontec> homanj: nope. lot's of things should play it
[08:42] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter if you are using less you can hit the / which puts it into search mode and just type /cdrom (just one /)
[08:42] <Fantastic_Bob> _
[08:42] <jontec> lots* no '
[08:42] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: it's a pretty good idea
[08:42] <RoundyT1> mysql failed to start after running sudo apt-get upgrade....any ideas?
[08:42] <Tom01> nm got it
[08:42] <jontec> homanj: what apps aren't
[08:42] <RoundyT1> maybe just a "no"
[08:42] <RoundyT1> so i stop spamming?

[08:43] <homanj> jontec: but i might not have AAC support set up
[08:43] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...dude my wife told me to come to bed an hour ago...I guess w/o logging on and looking at the problem, I've run out of suggestions
[08:43] <jontec> homanj: have you tried installing libxine-extracodecs (if that package even still exists... let's see)
[08:43] <Fantastic_Bob> Has anyone got global shortcut keys to work with any other audio channel but master?
[08:43] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: alright well thanks for trying to help me this long I really appreciate it
[08:43] <jontec> !libxine-extracodecs
[08:43] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...I'm sorry
[08:44] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: it's no problem, I'm sure by the time I figure this thing out I'll be quite fluent in the ways of bind ;)
[08:44] <quinton> How would I install a new splash screen?
[08:44] <Fantastic_Bob> I know
[08:44] <jwalter> dfwlinuxguy: I have cdrom: open failed 3 times and cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! 3 times. ?

[08:45] <quinton> fantastic_bob, go for it
[08:45] <arooni> does twinview just suck
[08:45] <arooni> or is it just me?
[08:45] <jontec> homanj: and you can install amaroK while you're at it. I promise you'll love it

[08:47] <sethglickman> ?
[08:47] <sethglickman> i'm using the alternate installer
[08:47] <MacDrunk> why
[08:47] <sethglickman> since the graphical one isn't working for some reason
[08:47] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185......I totally understand if you want to stick with bind, but it doesn't have a real good security track record
[08:47] <jontec> rntrah: shouldn't intel based download work, then?
[08:47] <sethglickman> it kept asking me for a username/password before i had installed it
[08:47] <zerobinary> i need help on this
[08:47] <jwalter> Followed by another cdrom: open failed 8 times.
[08:47] <MacDrunk> seth just boot from the cd

[08:48] <zerobinary> plz help
[08:48] <Fantastic_Bob> Has anyone got global shortcut keys to work with any other audio channel but master?
[08:48] <zerobinary> i accidently deleted my boot section
[08:48] <sethglickman> macdrunk what do you mean
[08:48] <zerobinary> what should i do
[08:48] <sethglickman> i put in the cd, booted up
[08:48] <rntrah> jontec: I wasn't sure if a regular intel would work or if there was a specific Mactel version
[08:48] <sethglickman> selected the first option in the menu
[08:48] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185......you seem to have a pretty good understanding....just be detailed oriented...I bet you find you've made a typo somewhere
[08:48] <MacDrunk> do you had a download iso right?
[08:48] <jontec> rntrah: I don't think that there's one. It's still an intel :D
[08:48] <sethglickman> and it worked fine, loaded everything up, but then asked me for a username and password
[08:48] <sethglickman> and nothing i did worked
[08:48] <MacDrunk> just burn it and boot from the cd
[08:48] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: really? well then what do most major DNS servers use? because I'm mostly interested in trying to learn something that is widely used
[08:48] <zerobinary> how
[08:49] <sethglickman> that's what i did
[08:49] <rntrah> jontec: and then there was the question of whether it was 64bit or not ....
[08:49] <MacDrunk> brbr
[08:49] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter on a regular music cdrom...there is NO files to mount...you can't mount a music CD
[08:49] <sethglickman> ok
[08:49] <MacDrunk> work from me seth
[08:49] <rntrah> jontec: i don't think it was 64, but i started second guessing myself
[08:49] <jontec> rntrah: 32bit will work on 64-bit processors :D, and 32-bit has more stuff
[08:49] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: I wouldn't be surprised if it was something stupid, that's why I'm not using Fedora, selinux would've been murder
[08:49] <jontec> rntrah: is it a Core 2 Duo? If it is then I think that some people are classifying that as 64-bit, otherwise it's 32-bit all the way
[08:50] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185.....I'm an oldtimer and have set up many DNS servers for ISP's and I always have used djbdns
[08:50] <bluebanana> guys, I'm running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". It's asking me what my mouse port is. How do I find out the answer?
[08:50] <rintrah> jontec: it is Core 2 Duo
[08:51] <shrimants> ok question: the live CD wont work on my laptop at ALL. will the OS work if i install it via alternate install disk?
[08:51] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185.....anyone that is worried about security doesn't use bind
[08:51] <rintrah> jontec: what would i be missing as far as apps.  i.e.  64bit versus 32
[08:51] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: ok, I'll definitely give it a try if I can't get this figured out in a week or so
[08:51] <Tom01> im getting the error E: Couldn't find package dhcpd
[08:51] <jontec> rintrah: then you have a choice, I think. You might want to double check (I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable around here will interject). I'd go for 32-bit. Otherwise, you'd have to do odd installs of wine, flash, and several other things. I have 64-bit, myself
[08:51] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....I'd be willing to chat again to see if I can help you...bind is relatively easy....I think we just have a typo somewhere
[08:52] <Fantastic_Bob> Has anyone got global shortcut keys to work with any other audio channel but master?
[08:52] <jontec> rintrah: I haven't been able to get Realplayer to install and I need it for .rmvb files :D
[08:52] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....If you want to use it, there is no reason we couldn't get it working
[08:52] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: alright, do you come by this chan  very often?
[08:52] <rintrah> jontec: thanks for your help
[08:52] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185....when do you want to do it?
[08:53] <jontec> rintrah: yup :D
[08:53] <jontec> rintrah: Core 2 Duo does count as 64-bit wikipedia and intel both say so.
[08:53] <jwalter> dfwlinuxguy: I'm totally lost, sorry. Do you use XMMS, or should I try something else?
[08:53] <cwgannon> ahoy, who would like to share with me how to test if my video card is 'directly rendering'?
[08:54] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: hmm well what time zone are you in?
[08:54] <defrysk> cwgannon, glxinfo | grep direct
[08:54] <sethglickman> so does anyone have any ideas why i might be running into this username/password problem?
[08:54] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter XMMS is totally abandoned and out-of-date...stand by for suggestions
[08:54] <Fantastic_Bob> jwalter [08:54] <cwgannon> defysk: thank you
[08:54] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: I'm in Central (US) and 7 would be good for me
[08:54] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...CDT
[08:54] <Fantastic_Bob> jwalter [08:54] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...7a or 7p?
[08:54] <jwalter> Not yet. Is it lightweight?
[08:54] <jwalter> My system is pretty poor.
[08:54] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: 7pm
[08:54] <Fantastic_Bob> jwalter [08:55] <Fantastic_Bob> jwalter [08:55] <Fantastic_Bob> jwalter [08:55] <kha1i1> rintrah; if u have a c3d get as much 64 bit sftware as u can
[08:56] <jwalter> Hm, I should probably look for a package for audio CD playback only
[08:56] <ninina> anyone know how to force ubuntu to use a screen resolution, The native resolution of my monitor isn't showing up in my resolution options

[08:58] <T-Connect> Someone done this Java install faq wrong. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537&highlight=Java Now I will have to delete the Java files and start over. Those files aren't connect to firefox.
[08:58] <kyled185> dfwlinuxguy: alright thanks
[08:58] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...no problem
[08:58] <rintrah> This is from the download page about the x86 iso "For almost all PCs.

[08:58] <dfwlinuxguy> kyled185...later
[08:59] <T-Connect> I found those java32 files.
[08:59] <rintrah> does this mean that Ubuntu on a MacBook will only run at 32bit?
[08:59] <rintrah> For almost all PCs. This includes most machines with Intel/AMD/etc type processors and almost all computers that run Microsoft Windows, as well as newer Apple Macintosh systems based on Intel processors. Choose this if you are at all unsure.
[08:59] <jwalter> Which would you recommend for Xfce? The most part of them are GNOME apps.
[09:00] <magnetron> T-Connect: The official documentation is located at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ , not Ubuntuforums
[09:00] <Flannel> rintrah: 64bit procs can run 32 or 64 bit.  It's assumed that if youre wanting to run a 64bit OS, you wouldn't be unsure.
[09:00] <Flannel> rintrah: 32 will run fine on it, so there's no harm in that being the default.
[09:00] <hylje> wtf
[09:01] <Ajit> video files dont work right or not at all on certain players (mplayer) dvd works but may stop due to errors. installed necessary codecs
[09:01] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter...gnome apps run just fine in xfce

[09:01] <zerobinary> dam
[09:02] <zerobinary> i have to sleep
[09:02] <rintrah> flannel: my question, i guess, is that if the kernel is 32bit that would mean that no 64bit apps could be used
[09:02] <dfwlinuxguy> exaile beep is an updated version of xmms
[09:02] <zerobinary> c-u guys
[09:02] <T-Connect> How I delete this folder? /usr/local/java32?

[09:02] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter...it's really all personal taste
[09:02] <Flannel> rintrah: Right.  A 32bit OS would be 32bit programs only.  What apps do you have that are 64bit only?
[09:02] <quinton> Need assistance with installing game!
[09:02] <magnetron> Ajit: make sure libdvddcss2 is installed

[09:02] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter...people say that amarok is the best thing since sliced bread..personally I don't get it
[09:02] <MajorPayne> quinton, That's no a question.
[09:02] <rintrah> flannel:  at this point none, but i was just wanting to not close any doors
[09:03] <quinton> majorpayne, the question is way confusing...
[09:03] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter..quod libet just happens to be my favorite
[09:03] <jwalter> K. I'm really only looking for a lightweight CD player, you see.
[09:03] <RoC_MasterMind> quinton, Taking fire, need assistance!
[09:03] <quinton> roc_mastermind, you will help?
[09:03] <Flannel> rintrah: There shouldn't be any.  There are, however, some 32bit only things.  Proprietary things (flash for instance) is only available for 32bit.  So if you run a 64bit OS, you have to do some special things to get it to cooperate
[09:03] <bluebanana> guys, I'm running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". It's asking me what my mouse port is. How do I find out the answer?

[09:03] <MajorPayne> quinton, Dow do you expect someone to help you if you don't say what the problem is?
[09:04] <MajorPayne> How*
[09:04] <dfwlinuxguy> jwalter..quod libet or beep are no more "heavy" than xmms
[09:04] <jwalter> Xubuntu only installs with Xfmedia.

[09:04] <quinton> majorpayne, I installed a game called dofus it runs off a file called .html and that file cannot be moved from its folder.. i want it in a one click icon and in applications
[09:04] <rintrah> flannel: i appreciate your response.  i just did not want to waste time downloading, installing and realizing that would want things to be different
[09:04] <Flannel> magnetron: that's still 32bit flash, and still jumping through hoops (never said it was difficult, nor impossible)
[09:05] <quinton> majorpayne, www.dofus.com
[09:05] <T-Connect> So I really don't need to delete this then? /usr/local/java32
[09:05] <rintrah> it would be rather silly to run 64bit just to jump through the hoops in order to get flash
[09:05] <Flannel> rintrah: I don't think you'll be disappointed with a 32bit system
[09:05] <rintrah> while i like hoops . . .
[09:05] <magnetron> Flannel: that's my point, you need some hoopjumping when running a desktop on Ubuntu64
[09:05] <rintrah> flannel: i think you are right

[09:06] <Flannel> rintrah: well, 64bit OSses do offer some benefits.  But at the moment most people won't notice them
[09:06] <rintrah> majorpayne: and how is it working for you?
[09:06] <RoundyT1> !css
[09:06] <RoundyT1> ?
[09:06] <RoundyT1> lol
[09:06] <MajorPayne> rintrah: Just fine.
[09:06] <starz> Flannel, linux doesnt have the same restriction as XP
[09:06] <T-Connect> Heh? /usr/local/firefox32 why would I do this when ubuntu already have foxfox only?
[09:06] <quinton> majorpayne, confusing much?
[09:06] <MajorPayne> Both my computers are 64 bit but I run 32 bit on both of them.
[09:07] <rintrah> MajorPayne: how do the sound, iSight and other peripherials work?
[09:07] <starz> in that it can address greater than 4GB of ram even without 64bit processing?
[09:07] <starz> or it does?
[09:07] <T-Connect> The faq is screwup.
[09:07] <rintrah> MajorPayne: does the DVI work?
[09:07] <Ajit> i followed this to install codecs: http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2007/05/13-must-do-things-on-new-ubuntu-704.html dvd works but stops randomly. vcds dont work at all
[09:07] <MajorPayne> rintrah: I didn't try iSight yet.  Sound works fine.  And I didn't try dvi.
[09:07] <Charles_Xavier> Flannel what are you talking about
[09:07] <Charles_Xavier> 64bits have tons of benefits
[09:07] <jwalter> dfwlinuxguy: What amount Zinf? Its Google's first result for Linux audio CD players.
[09:08] <Charles_Xavier> for one, you can add more then 2.75 gb of ram
[09:08] <Charles_Xavier> 32bit only allows 2.7
[09:08] <magnetron> T-Connect: you need a 32bit firefox for amd64 ubuntu or else you will not be able to run 32bit-only plugins like adobe-flash
[09:08] <MajorPayne> quinton: There is no site dofus.com.
[09:08] <MajorPayne> quaal: err, nevermind.
[09:08] <T-Connect> I'm using ubuntu 32 bit only,
[09:08] <quinton> majorpayne, http://dofus.com
[09:09] <rintrah> MajorPayne: the DVI is important to me ... iSight not so much
[09:09] <Supaplex> 32 bits. how sad. oh wait, that's me to.
[09:09] <magnetron> T-Connect: what faq is a mess up then?
[09:09] <Flannel> Charles_Xavier: There are benefits, that's what I said.  And it's 4GB.  But I also said hat most people won't notice a difference.  Since most people don't run things that, at the moment, benefit from the larger registers, nor is most stuff compiled in the absense of register starvation
[09:09] <Charles_Xavier> no its not
[09:09] <MajorPayne> rintrah: I am not sure.  I don't have a DVI monitor.  I can't give you a first hand review of that.
[09:09] <Charles_Xavier> i have 4gb and ubuntu 32bit only allows me to show 2.7
[09:09] <Charles_Xavier> so your wrong
[09:09] <T-Connect> Those faq are for amd64 ubuntu only.
[09:09] <T-Connect> ?
[09:09] <Charles_Xavier> i suggest you read Flannel  before giving out false information
[09:09] <magnetron> T-Connect: which faq?
[09:10] <quinton> majorpayne, it comes with a config.html file...
[09:10] <titun> i know some guy who told me he works with intel, on linux kernel scripting, what is this?
[09:10] <bluebanana> where is my xorg.conf file?
[09:10] <T-Connect> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[09:10] <quinton> majorpaybe, would i maybe do something with that?
[09:10] <titun> how can i also become one?
[09:10] <quinton> majorpayne, maybe i do something with that?
[09:10] <rintrah> MajorPayne: np.  i use the DVI to my tv.  works swell on OS X
[09:10] <Supaplex> Charles_Xavier: why pretel does the bigmem kernel (debian etch) support 4GB+ on 32bit?
[09:10] <Charles_Xavier> Flannel it does not.... it only supports 2.7gb
[09:10] <MajorPayne> quinton: Do something with what?
[09:10] <Flannel> Charles_Xavier: that's a BIOS setting, that was only letting you use 2.7GB.
[09:10] <Charles_Xavier> I have 4 gb of ram, and ubuntu only shows 2.7gb under the system monitor
[09:11] <quinton> majorpayne, config.html
[09:11] <Charles_Xavier> i have no such setting...
[09:11] <magnetron> T-Connect: yes, the faq is for ubuntu amd64. running flash in 32-bit ubuntu is much easier
[09:11] <quinton> majorpayne, has alot of codes in it.
[09:11] <Supaplex> Charles_Xavier: pci mmio steals some of that. what kernel are you using?
[09:11] <MajorPayne> rintrah: Yea.  Let me find the install guide I used.  Maybe that says something about the DVI.
[09:11] <Charles_Xavier> the regular one that comes with 7.04
[09:11] <titun> i know someone who works on linux kernel scripting, what is this?
[09:11] <titun> how can i also do it?
[09:11] <arooni> has anyone experienced this problem with twinvierw:  ' Twinview Can't Change 2nd Monitor Resolution'  (2nd montior resolution is stuck at 800x600'
[09:12] <cras1> /server irc.freenode.com
[09:12] <MajorPayne> quinton: Sorry, I don't know.  I don't have that game.
[09:12] <Charles_Xavier> try it yourself, put 4gb of ram into a 32bit os, it will only show 2.7gb under system monitor, i guarentee it
[09:12] <quinton> majorpayne, eh ok
[09:12] <rintrah> MajorPayne, Flannel, jontec: thanks for your help
[09:12] <MajorPayne> quinton: I suggest going to the people who developed the game for support.
[09:12] <Lo_Pan> Charles_Xavier: using pae you will see it all
[09:12] <Charles_Xavier> whats pae
[09:12] <psycardis> Charles: you're right
[09:13] <quinton> majorpayne, they have no chat, no email, no phonenumber either
[09:13] <Lo_Pan> Charles_Xavier: ubuntu -server kernels have pae support
[09:13] <Charles_Xavier> how do i see the command
[09:13] <quinton> Does anyone play dofus and can lend assistance on the install?
[09:13] <T-Connect> Go here and you will see it is looking for java. http://www.wildsnake.com/webgame/sso/
[09:13] <Lo_Pan> Charles_Xavier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
[09:13] <Lo_Pan> err
[09:13] <Lo_Pan> Charles_Xavier: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
[09:13] <Lo_Pan> even
[09:13] <negonicrac> so what are the benifits of using a 64 bit OS other than memory?
[09:13] <MajorPayne> rintrah: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook
[09:13] <MajorPayne> rintrah: I used that as a guide to install.  I think that talks about DVI.
[09:14] <Charles_Xavier> so how do i enable pae
[09:14] <Supaplex> Charles_Xavier: install a kernel that supports it
[09:14] <Charles_Xavier> how
[09:14] <magnetron> negonicrac: a slight speed-up
[09:14] <Lo_Pan> Charles_Xavier: recompile your kernel with pae or install an ubuntu server kernel
[09:15] <Charles_Xavier> ...how
[09:15] <Lo_Pan> ...
[09:15] <negonicrac> Oh.
[09:15] <Supaplex> the same way you install anything else
[09:15] <titun> please someone put some light on linux kernel scripting
[09:15] <MajorPayne> rintrah: By the looks of it you can use it.  But it will take some editing of your xorg.conf.
[09:15] <Lo_Pan> sudo apt-cache search linux-image | grep server
[09:15] <imbezol> which init script starts x?
[09:15] <Lo_Pan> sudo is superfluous there i guess
[09:15] <titun> how do i become one such programmer?
[09:15] <Lo_Pan> pick one of those kernels
[09:16] <rintrah> MajorPayne: that is fine.  i have done that before (albeit on a x86 pc box)
[09:16] <magnetron> titun: never heard of it. sounds like something very internal to the operating system. you should ask your friend at intel, he will probably be able to answer those questions.
[09:17] <titun> magnetron: humm......
[09:17] <magnetron> titun: hum hum.
[09:17] <titun> :)
[09:18] <rintrah> MajorPayne: well, once the download is complete, and i have backed everything up, i think i will be ready to try this out.
[09:18] <rintrah> MajorPayne: thanks again

[09:19] <titun> Supaplex: no idea.. my friend told me he works on that
[09:19] <rintrah> and with it being Canada Day weekend here, i may just spend my day off messing with this
[09:19] <rintrah> and being somewhat drunk
[09:19] <titun> Supaplex: or is it kernel programming? i may be quoting wrong
[09:19] <SAINT_BELMONT> Hello peoplez.
[09:20] <MajorPayne> rintrah: Heh, me too.
[09:20] <MajorPayne> I <3 Canada day.
[09:20] <rintrah> where are you?
[09:20] <MajorPayne> Markham Ontario right now.
[09:20] <Supaplex> titun: ahh, kernel programming is yes. depends on what you want the kernel to do.  try looking in the linux kernel mailing list (google lkml) archives
[09:20] <rintrah> Winnipeg
[09:20] <rintrah> "right now"?
[09:21] <MajorPayne> Cool.  I just moved here.  Nova Scotia about 2 months ago.
[09:21] <titun> Supaplex: thanks!
[09:21] <rintrah> Halifax?
[09:21] <MajorPayne> titun: I suggest leaning C first.
[09:21] <MajorPayne> rintrah: I lived about 40 min outside of Halifax.
[09:21] <titun> Supaplex: but do intel guys work on linux OS?  i thought they make hardware only
[09:21] <arooni> has anyone experienced this problem with twinvierw:  ' Twinview Can't Change 2nd Monitor Resolution'  (2nd montior resolution is stuck at 800x600'
[09:22] <rintrah> i have been told that I should move to Halifax if i ever got sick of Winnipeg.
[09:22] <magnetron> titun: kernel programmin? first of all you will need to learn how to program (kernel programmers tend to use C language). Then you will have to look into the specifics of operating systems programming and specifically Linux.
[09:22] <titun> MajorPayne: right
[09:22] <rintrah> why would you move away from there to Markham of all places?
[09:22] <SAINT_BELMONT> Anyone know of a good Perl Compiler for Ubuntu?

[09:22] <Supaplex> titun: I know they've released drivers for some of their softmodems, so there's a possiblility.  For somethings Intel has been open to the FOSS community, but on other things, they've conspired for DRM see badvista.fsf.org
[09:22] <magnetron> SAINT_BELMONT: there is only one Perl interpreter

[09:30] <Charles_Xavier> i dont know how
[09:30] <titun> yeah
[09:30] <Charles_Xavier> i just type "new kernel"
[09:30] <Charles_Xavier> in terminal
[09:30] <Charles_Xavier> and it gave me a error
[09:30] <Supaplex> Charles_Xavier: you must learn linux, linux will not learn you. did you install the new kernel?
[09:30] <Charles_Xavier> yes i type install new kernel
[09:30] <Charles_Xavier> but it didnt work
[09:30] <titun> i found tldp.org, is it a good guide to learn programming in linux???
[09:31] <MISTERTibbs> You must learn Linux, Linux will not learn you.  That is deep!
[09:31] <DjKoRn> any kget download manager alternative for fragmented downloads???
[09:31] <Supaplex> Charles_Xavier: what gave you the idea that would work? haha.

[09:31] <unimatrix9> what am i doing wrong?
[09:31] <MajorPayne> Charles_Xavier: Why do you want a new kernel?
[09:31] <unimatrix9> all tips are welcome
[09:31] <Charles_Xavier> why not just make it install new kernel, instead of making it a 10 line command with 40000 parameters
[09:31] <Supaplex> MajorPayne: he needs pae support
[09:32] <Supaplex> Charles_Xavier: run aptitude
[09:32] <DjKoRn> Charles_Xavier, what distro are you using?
[09:32] <MajorPayne> Ohh.  Sorry.  I didn't read the whole conversation.
[09:32] <DjKoRn> ubuntu?
[09:32] <Charles_Xavier> im using ubuntu
[09:32] <Charles_Xavier> i think
[09:32] <DjKoRn> ok here it goes
[09:32] <Charles_Xavier> hold on let me check
[09:32] <DjKoRn> ok
[09:32] <Charles_Xavier> ya ubuntu 7.04
[09:32] <Charles_Xavier> 32 bit
[09:32] <DjKoRn> ok
[09:33] <Charles_Xavier> fisting fawn
[09:33] <DjKoRn> u have to be the latest updates.
[09:33] <robink> Is there a minimal install CD for Ubuntu?
[09:33] <DjKoRn> i mean. you have to grab all the latest updates
[09:33] <DjKoRn> now.. first thing you to do...
[09:33] <titun> Charles_Xavier: feisty Fawn :)
[09:33] <dawn`chorus> rob_p, like a net-install?
[09:33] <mike_> Greets, everyone...
[09:33] <T-Connect> Yay I got Java to work
[09:33] <mike_> I'm having a sound issue when I play just about any game (from emulated NES games to native FPS's) - there's a nasty crackling over the sound that comes and goes. Any ideas?
[09:33] <Charles_Xavier> oh
[09:33] <T-Connect> I change the faq.
[09:33] <DjKoRn> Charles_Xavier,  click the system>administration>Update manager
[09:34] <Charles_Xavier> how do i make ubuntu fiety fawn use all 4 gb of my ram
[09:34] <Charles_Xavier> it only says 2.7 under system monitor
[09:34] <Charles_Xavier> i did
[09:34] <Charles_Xavier> DjKoRn,
[09:34] <Supaplex> Charles_Xavier: and what happens?
[09:34] <robink> dawn`chorus: Did you mean me?  If so, yes.
[09:34] <DjKoRn> Charles_Xavier, why you want to use all your MEMORY?
[09:34] <imbezol> if i use startx then I get the nvidia logo and :X starts fine.. if i use /etc/init.d/gdm start then X is just black
[09:34] <DjKoRn> what's the purpose?
[09:34] <T-Connect> I'm going to post update faq.
[09:35] <Charles_Xavier> DjKoRn
[09:35] <dawn`chorus> robink, oh yeah. sry.  there's a net-install cd.  lemme track it down.
[09:35] <robink> dawn`chorus: Although not nessecarily...just a CD that won't try to fire up X.
[09:35] <Charles_Xavier> if you buy 4gb, you only want to use 2.7 right
[09:35] <robink> dawn`chorus: Thanx
[09:35] <Charles_Xavier> i mean who cares if you paid an extra 60 dollars for the whole other gig
[09:35] <Charles_Xavier> right DjKoRn
[09:35] <robink> I guess I could use debootstrap with like a Gentoo installCD
[09:35] <DjKoRn> Charles_Xavier, it depends on what application you are running
[09:35] <dawn`chorus> robink, oh i see.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[09:36] <DjKoRn> now if you have lots... of lots.. of application running at the same time... well.. it will eat up all your memory.
[09:36] <Charles_Xavier> ok bottom line, i bought 4gb and want to use all of it, but system monitor only shows 2.7gb, im using fisting fawn v7.04
[09:36] <cwgannon> !fonts

[09:36] <DjKoRn> oh i see... that's it...
[09:36] <dawn`chorus> robink, you should be able to exclude xorg etc.
[09:36] <DjKoRn> i dont know how to fix that... Charles_Xavier
[09:36] <Supaplex> DjKoRn: I think what Charles_Xavier is trying to say, is, he doesn't see the 4gb of total memory
[09:36] <imbezol> !x

[09:36] <Charles_Xavier> then dont tell me your opinions dj korn
[09:36] <DjKoRn> i se.. Supaplex
[09:36] <Charles_Xavier> DjKoRn i dont need to know that i dont need 4gb, i need to know WHY i cant see the 4gb
[09:36] <robink> dawn`chorus: (I've never installed Ubuntu)...how easy is it install-wise?
[09:37] <robink> dawn`chorus: I've used Redhat, Slackware, Debian & Gentoo.
[09:37] <robink> probly a few others too
[09:37] <DjKoRn> Charles_Xavier, i think some remapping or else....
[09:37] <T-Connect> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2943447#post2943447 For ubuntu 7.04 firefox only.

[09:37] <dawn`chorus> robink, you can install it in your sleep.
[09:37] <T-Connect> I post it.
[09:38] <robink> dawn`chorus: Heh, 'k.
[09:38] <Supaplex> DjKoRn: it's pae
[09:38] <robink> I'll consider it when I get an x86_64 system then as the binaries would be about as optimized as they could get.
[09:38] <MajorPayne> robink: It's easier that Gentoo :-P
[09:38] <DjKoRn> Supaplex, i see..
[09:38] <robink> MajorPayne: Well, almost anything is easier than Gentoo
[09:38] <MajorPayne> If you made it through a Gentoo install you can install Ubuntu.
[09:39] <robink> MajorPayne: I've done several Gentoo installs.
[09:39] <Supaplex> Charles_Xavier: did you run this yet? apt-cache search linux-image | grep server
[09:39] <robink> MajorPayne: ...working on getting Gentoo to cross-compile a very custom distro for either an ARM or a BlackFin.
[09:39] <MajorPayne> robink: Me to.  That's when I switched to Ubuntu.
[09:39] <lymeca> I have three Ubuntu machines on a LAN and I want easy to use file sharing between all three.  Is there a good solution (NFS is complicated to mount and navigate and update /etc/exports) or at least one that makes NFS easier to use in the GUI?
[09:39] <robink> MajorPayne: heh.
[09:39] <twocarlo> hey how can compile acrobat reader
[09:39] <lymeca> Ideally I'd like icons on my Desktop or something where I can drag or drop files from the other computers
[09:40] <robink> I'd be making my own massive overlay if I went the BlackFin route...probly I'll go with ARM or wait 'till Gentoo supports the BlackFin well enough for me to get myself bootstrapped.
[09:40] <Jdaniels> Hi! I have a problem, is this the right place to ask? I found one page on the Community Documentation, but the answer wasn't there, just follow up questions.
[09:40] <dawn`chorus> off-topic.
[09:40] <dawn`chorus> Jdaniels, you're here.  :)
[09:40] <robink> oops, so it is.
[09:41] <Jdaniels> OK, thanks, I got the "mount: can't open /etc/mtab for writing: Input/output error"
[09:41] <mike_> I'm having a sound issue when I play just about any game (from emulated NES games to native FPS's) - there's a nasty crackling over the sound that comes and goes. Any ideas?
[09:41] <magnetron> twocarlo: you need the source code to compile acrobat reader. AFAIK, Adobe does not give that source code out.
[09:41] <AlphaNull> Sup, #ubuntu, is there a specified help channel, or can I just ask for some assistance here?
[09:41] <magnetron> AlphaNull, this is it.
[09:42] <twocarlo> i have it already i just don't know how to execute it on the terminal
[09:42] <Jdaniels> oh, yeah that error comes up when I try mount DVD's or CD's or even USB
[09:43] <AlphaNull> Sweet, well this is my problem, I'm running off Ubuntu live disc v6.06 and the version of GAIM it gives me continually crashes when I try to sign into MSN, like, it'll just start showing my buddy list, then -bam- it's gone.
[09:43] <MISTERTibbs> AlphaNull, have you tried updating your gaim?
[09:44] <AlphaNull> on the site, there's this pidgin thing
[09:44] <MISTERTibbs> ?? try synaptic or apt-get
[09:44] <AlphaNull> and I'm following some tutorial to get pidgin to work for ubuntu, but since I'm capped
[09:44] <AlphaNull> it's taking ages
[09:44] <AlphaNull> so I was wondering if there was anything else I could do
[09:46] <mike_> twocarlo: Is there a Readme included in it, or a file called "install.txt" or something along those lines? If so, they should give specific directions. If not, I'd say just follow standard compiling procedures (cd /path/to/source | ./config | ./make | ./install )
[09:46] <Jdaniels> So, any ideas on the "mount: can't open /etc/mtab for writing: Input/output error" when I try to mount... anything? The polish Ubuntu site looked like it might have the answer, but I don't speak polish. =)

[09:58] <maxagaz> what tool should I use to be able to resume my download with firefox ?
[09:58] <Tom01> any one ever installed cpanel im haveing a problem http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28065/ <[09:58] <dawn`chorus> maxagaz, just use wget.
[09:58] <Jordan_U> maxagaz, wget -c
[09:58] <twocarl1> how can i enable vmware player
[09:58] <maxagaz> Jordan_U, dawn`chorus: you mean in a terminal ?
[09:59] <imbezol> hrm.. this doesn't make sense.. x works fine with startx.. but /etc/init.d/gdm start makes a black screen
[09:59] <brianski> eww cpanel
[09:59] <bluebanana> dawn`chorus, Proview Monitor, PX-769, Model 772M
[09:59] <brianski> imbezol: check your .xinitrc and .startx
[09:59] <dawn`chorus> maxagaz, yes.  this isn't something you've already began in firefox is it?  otherwise you can copy the link local from firefox into the terminal, behind wget.
[09:59] <brianski> er
[09:59] <imbezol> brianski: they didn't exist until i made them
[09:59] <brianski> s/.startx/.xsession/ i think
[09:59] <Jordan_U> maxagaz, Yes, run it in the same directory as the file ( "cd Desktop" before running the command ) and then do: wget -c URL
[10:00] <imbezol> brianski: and those aren't read when you use an init script
[10:00] <Jordan_U> maxagaz, It should continue where it left off
[10:00] <imbezol> brianski: brand new system.. just installed, then changed to nvidia driver, then rebooted, now i have to start x with startx
[10:00] <brianski> imbezol: is tha blank screen after you log on to gdm or before?
[10:00] <twocarl1> .
[10:00] <Jdaniels> do I NEED to run fsck -Va while booted from the cd? the computers say it make cause severe file system damage. Is that true?
[10:00] <Jordan_U> imbezol, What happens before you use startx?
[10:00] <imbezol> brianski: gdm starts according to ps, but it never shows anything on the screen.. X is just black
[10:01] <Tom01> how do u update perl
[10:01] <brianski> imbezol: hmm
[10:01] <maxagaz> Jordan_U, dawn`chorus: I know that, my question was a general question, I mean how to be able to resume a download launched with firefox ?
[10:01] <Jordan_U> Jdaniels, Unmount the partition first
[10:01] <brianski> imbezol: i do remember something about gdm using different "fail safe" x configs
[10:01] <brianski> but i don't remember the details
[10:01] <imbezol> hmm
[10:01] <dawn`chorus> thx. Jordan_U.  i learned something new.  :)
[10:01] <brianski> i know gdm sometimes uses a different resolution, for exaple
[10:01] <Jdaniels> partitions hmm... yeah i'll get right on that...
[10:02] <imbezol> brianski: hmm.. goodie.. i don't see anything incrimination in the X log or the gdm log
[10:02] <twocarlo> how can enable vmware player
[10:02] <brianski> twocarlo: apt-get install virtualbox
[10:03] <brianski> imbezol: there must be *some* difference :)
[10:03] <brianski> maybe save a gdm log and a startx log and use diff?
[10:03] <brianski> wish i had better ideas for ya
[10:04] <twocarlo> brianski: virtualbox is another virtualization program right
[10:04] <brianski> twocarlo: yes but it works very similarly
[10:04] <brianski> and it's free software
[10:05] <brianski> it actually works much cleaner for me
[10:05] <maxagaz> where can I get real player codecs ?
[10:05] <brianski> and unlike vmware workstation, it actually works on amd64 feisty
[10:05] <twocarlo> ic thats why vmware doesnt work

[09:30] <ocha> countzero, it shoudl be on the desktop >.>
[09:30] <amonkey> i want to make part of my touchpad on my laptop be a shortcut to rotate my cube. what is what i'm looking for called?
[09:30] <sebas_> ocha: you can kill the process ID
[09:30] <scorp123> owen1: there are ways to have scripts auto-execute upon login ... I suggest you google the Ubuntu forums, there are plenty of threads on that.
[09:30] <Nutubuntu> Anlar, t/y; I'll give it away then
[09:30] <kazim59> ocha: top and ps commands show what's running
[09:30] <countzero> you're right! It was sitting on the shelf.
[09:30] <owen1> scorp123: ok, i will.
[09:30] <countzero> Trouble is I can't get the computer to find it.
[09:30] <scorp123> countzero: plug out and plug in again?
[09:30] <kazim59> ocha: ps -a for all processes.... use kill command for killing a process.... => kill 2347 (2347 is process id)
[09:30] <sebas_> countzero: isn't it in /media ?
[09:30] <countzero> no.
[09:30] <countzero> it says the volume can't be mounted.
[09:30] <kazim59> countzero: check the output of dmesg | tail ... did it detect a disk?
[09:30] <ocha> kazim59, whats ps?  i understand top and kill, but i don't get ps?
[09:30] <scorp123> countzero: what filesystem should be on that disk? Maybe the filesystem got corrupted :-(
[09:30] <countzero> ntfs
[09:30] <scorp123> ocha: ps =  processes
[09:30] <kazim59> ocha: see man ps.... ps lists the processes running on your system, just like top... (try it)
[09:30] <countzero> could I get the addy to paste the gibberish?
[09:30] <scorp123> !ntfs | countzero
[09:30] <ubotu> countzero: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[09:30] <Anlar> countzero: if it's flagged dirty, just -f .. but you'd better off with ntfs-3g (install it, then -t ntfs-3g) anyways

[09:30] <ubotu> 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

[09:30] <buize> ive been off windows for a week
[09:30] <jrib> Kai-laptop: what do you need it for?  does gnome-nettool do what you want?
[09:30] <scorp123> Kai-laptop: maybe the project changed its name or something like that ... I'd google for their (new?) homepage. Maybe you will find a *.deb package too ...?
[09:30] <d4rkmonkey> !alternate
[09:30] <ubotu> 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

I see the Xubuntu boot splash image, then the nvidia image, but then I get a blank screen with a "waiting" cursor. I'm in tty1 right now. Only recent change I made to the login screen was adding sounds (system sounds). Any idea why I can't get a graphical login?
[09:30] <scorp123> owen1: be more precise
[09:30] <buize> i thought it was going to be all command line based
[09:30] <sebas_> buize: does it work fine?
[09:30] <ziggy23> trooperi: Yes
[09:30] <Nutubuntu> owen1,  does your script assume bash?

[09:30] <buize> i dont know how to fix that
[09:30] <kazim59> countzero: are you trying to mount your external hard disk?
[09:30] <Busata> well, I tried playing my fav mmorpg, but got too much performance drop, so still stuck with dualboot :)
[09:30] <countzero> yes.
[09:30] <scorp123> kazim59: he's got NTFS on it ....
[09:30] <countzero> and, ideally, format it too.So I can write to it.
[09:30] <owen1> scorp123:i wish i knew how can i be more elaboratrivde...
[09:30] <LuiCal> heloooooo!!!!!!, plis helppp!!!!

[09:30] <Kai-laptop> jrib, and i cant find it anywhere
[09:30] <Kai-laptop> jrib, well, since edgy anyway
[09:30] <kazim59> scorp123: how did you come to know?

[09:30] <scorp123> kazim59: he already posted it a few lines above :)
[09:30] <jrib> Kai-laptop: what was the name of the package?
[09:30] <ziggy23> thanks I'll try that
[09:30] <scorp123> owen1: and what did you do to have it run?
[09:30] <troopperi_> ziggy23: np :)
[09:30] <Kai-laptop> owen1, install perl and either perl /path/to/script or have #!/path/to/perl as its first line, have it chmodded +x and ./file

[09:31] <owen1> scorp123: it worked but i get this : wacomOpenTablet: Invalid Argument
[09:31] <Kai-laptop> scorp123, who are you again?
[09:31] <owen1> scorp123: i guess i need to contact the author.
[09:31] <otaku> how do i instal samba, it's like one command line, does anyone know it?  i know theres a huge tutoiral, but i only need the one command line
[09:32] <davidw> man... I'm seriously tempted by that dell laptop
[09:32] <TaintedTux> I just switched from Arch to Ubuntu and I cant get Sonata to work for anything...I never really had any problems on Arch with it so Im just wondering if maybe there is a bug or something
[09:32] <scorp123> Kai-laptop: the guy who told you to Google this ... they probably changed the name. OpenSource projects sometimes do that and the old stuff disappears from the repos :-)
[09:32] <Debdict> hi how do i map keys to mousebutton actions?
[09:32] <jrib> TaintedTux: sonata works fine here, did you install and configure mpd ok?  does mpc work?
[09:32] <scorp123> owen1: yeah, sorry about that. Maybe there is a bug in their Perl script or something like that ...
[09:32] <Kai-laptop> scorp123, stop being a nuissance
[09:32] <owen1> scorp123: np. thanks!
[09:33] <scorp123> Kai-laptop: huh?
[09:33] <vabbax> Hola
[09:33] <Nutubuntu> scorp123,  some folks would not thank you even if you used a *new* rope to hang 'em
[09:33] <scorp123> Nutubuntu: no problem :-)
[09:33] <TaintedTux> jrib: mpd should be fine I changed all the configuration to what i need it to be...sonata just keeps crashing and the output in terminal says something about dbus...but i dont know much about dbus really
[09:33] <owen1> setserial /dev/ttyS0 irq 4 port 0x220 autoconfig  gives me this: Cannot set serial info: Device or resource busy
[09:33] <jrib> TaintedTux: pastebin the output
[09:33] <owen1> anyone?
[09:34] <vox754> Comrade-Sergei, yummy. So did you do "sudo umount /blabl/abla"
[09:34] <kazim59> countzero: so your dmesg says its sdb1... thats good information.... now issue this command at a terminal.... sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[09:34] <scorp123> owen1: something wrong with your serial ports it seems ... As I said, your best bet would be the author.
[09:34] <Comrade-Sergei> vox754, yes it says its not there

[09:36] <owen1> Narada: sorry, ignore it..
[09:36] <scorp123> Nutubuntu: he's trying to get his touchscreen working ... apparently he has to use some perl scripts that will setup some virtual serial ports which will then enable the communication between the hardware and X11 .... that's hard to troubleshoot I guess.
[09:36] <doodoo> in a window a don't have the close buton
[09:36] <adaptr> ceil420 read the xorg.log for details
[09:36] <PurpZeY> doodoo: You running beryl?
[09:36] <doodoo> and the name of the application
[09:36] <countzero> nothing much happened.
[09:36] <Comrade-Sergei> vox754, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28137/
[09:36] <ocha> how do i startup another "X", with ctrl and alt f7 or f8, but it justs hangs at startup, says it loading some stuff up and with a black background, and white text. how do i work this?
[09:36] <ceil420> adaptr, that's somewhere in /etc, right? :x
[09:36] <doodoo> no i unistal beryl next week
[09:36] <TaintedTux> jrib: ok didnt know about that...hers the URL http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28136/
[09:37] <doodoo> and since a have unistall it i have some pb
[09:37] <adaptr> ceil420 no, use "less /var/log/xorg.0.log"
[09:37] <Nutubuntu> scorp123,  I'm guessing, but my guess would be a "conflict" in how the kernel sees the (virtual) serial port and how it really is addressed
[09:37] <erisco> nautilus just crashed when I tried to view the properties of a .swf file.... my desktop is gone
[09:37] <erisco> help?
[09:37] <countzero> oh wait...
[09:37] <doodoo> i remove in synaptics all beryl and all compiz
[09:37] <kazim59> countzero: sudo gedit /etc/fstab ... nothing happened? it might've asked you a password?
[09:37] <scorp123> Nutubuntu: as I said ... impossible to troubleshoot via IRC.
[09:37] <doodoo> now just after a metacity --replace my interfcae is ok
[09:37] <erisco> not nautilus, maybe just gnome desktop.. hell if I know at this point
[09:37] <ceil420> adaptr, "No such file or directory"
[09:37] <ocha> how do i start up another xserver?
[09:38] <countzero> it's mounted.But I can't write to it.Maybe I should just format it?
[09:38] <doodoo> but i want to know the proble
[09:38] <Tehk> Does anyone know how I would go about enabling sli for my 7950gx2?
[09:38] <PurpZeY> doodoo: Try change the theme you are runnin
[09:38] <countzero> It was originally formatted on a windows system.
[09:38] <doodoo> i try this solution
[09:38] <adaptr> ceil420 don't TYPE it, tab-complete it
[09:38] <doodoo> but it seems to not be the way
[09:38] <vox754> Comrade-Sergei, what the !  It says you have multiple isos mounted on the same /media/cdrom0 ?!
[09:38] <tovella> ceil420: it sounds like it could be an issue with the nvidia driver (or the way it's configured), so i'd check /var/log/Xorg.log for things that pertain to nvidia.
[09:38] <doodoo> to resolve the pb
[09:38] <jrib> TaintedTux: ok an what actually happens, sonata doesn't open?
[09:38] <scorp123> doodoo: is this for all windows in general or is just one single window blocked right now?
[09:39] <vox754> countzero, you cannot write to it since it is ntfs.
[09:39] <kazim59> countzero: if you can format it... its a good thing... but know a few things before you do
[09:39] <ceil420> adaptr, no file starts with 'x' in that directory
[09:39] <doodoo> no all window
[09:39] <Comrade-Sergei> vox754, i know i dont know wtf?
[09:39] <scorp123> doodoo: ah merde ...
[09:39] <ceil420> tovella, oh, capital x :x

[09:39] <kazim59> countzero: but for writing ntfs... you need to install ntfs-3g....
[09:39] <scorp123> doodoo: nope
[09:40] <jrib> TaintedTux: the output you pasted shows up here too but it works ok.  Do you get anything else after that before it freezes?  Do you do anything for it to freeze?
[09:40] <vox754> countzero, you need to enable ntfs writing, but you may just move the files and format it to ext3 instead.
[09:40] <doodoo> scorp123, ok lol you study french at school

[09:40] <countzero> i've already moved the files.

[09:40] <vox754> !offtopic | doodoo
[09:40] <ubotu> doodoo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:40] <countzero> How do I format it to ext3?
[09:40] <Ivis> scorp123,  ohh :( it's bad
[09:40] <Comrade-Sergei> vox754, how can i just umount them all
[09:40] <vox754> !gparted | countzero
[09:40] <ubotu> countzero: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[09:41] <TaintedTux> jrib: not thats the only output i get...it works for a second but then freezes...doesnt even stay going long enought to play anything
[09:41] <vox754> !prefix > countzero
[09:41] <doodoo> the french channel no resolve my pb
[09:41] <scorp123> doodoo: did you try the french channel? Maybe it would be easier for you to get help there?
[09:41] <vox754> !who > countzero
[09:41] <kazim59> countzero: now two options.... either install ntfs-3g (i will guide you through)... or format it to fat32 (if you want it to use it with windows too)
[09:41] <arjen_ubu> !who > countzero
[09:41] <Ivis> ok thanks for help i look up in google
[09:41] <scorp123> doodoo: and the french Ubuntu forums?
[09:41] <jrib> TaintedTux: and with mpc you can start playing music ok?
[09:41] <doodoo> scorp123, yes i try it but no answer
[09:41] <vox754> Comrade-Sergei, I assume you've tried rebooting and also "sudo umount /media/cdrom0"
[09:41] <erisco> what is the process that runs my desktop?
[09:41] <TaintedTux> jrib: Im not actually familiar with mpc
[09:41] <doodoo> scorp123, it's for that i go on the ubuntu can
[09:41] <ceil420> adaptr, tovella, what am i looking for in that log? it's pretty long :x (and i'm not in a GUI, so I can't copy/paste it anywhere -_-)
[09:41] <doodoo> scorp123, chan*
[09:41] <jrib> TaintedTux: try 'mpc play' in a terminal
[09:41] <scorp123> doodoo: you have to be patient sometimes ...
[09:42] <adaptr> erisco which part of your desktop ?
[09:42] <Comrade-Sergei> no reboot but i dod do the umount
[09:42] <Comrade-Sergei> vox754,
[09:42] <arjen_ubu> erisco: : you mean X?
[09:42] <doodoo> scorp123, yeah i know but i have this problem since two week so...
[09:42] <erisco> adaptr, well I cannot see any of my icons
[09:42] <ceil420> adaptr, tovella, at the end of the log it just says something about not being able to load a wacom tablet (cursor loaded okay) and some fonts
[09:42] <doodoo> scorp123, i have just on pc, and i have just ubuntu
[09:42] <countzero> how do I install ntsf-3g?
[09:42] <adaptr> erisco the Gnome dekstop process would be metacity, the window manager
[09:43] <tovella> ceil420: i would look for errors pertaining to nvidia.   wacom & some other errors just mean you don't have those devices connected.
[09:43] <adaptr> erisco but really, all that is customisable
[09:43] <Comrade-Sergei> vox754, i got it lol i just had to do it like 10 times
[09:43] <Comrade-Sergei> lol
[09:43] <adaptr> ceil420 you want to search for [EE]  lines - errors
[09:43] <erisco> adaptr, I just restarted metacity but my desktop is still gone
[09:43] <adaptr> ceil420 these will typically be the last part
[09:43] <vox754> Comrade-Sergei, that's fifty bucks pal
[09:43] <Invisionfree> How can I install JRE?
[09:43] <jrib> !java > Invisionfree (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:43] <adaptr> erisco well, metacity doesn't *control* your desktop - it only paints it on the screen
[09:43] <ocha> how do i start up another X session?
[09:43] <liwayway> i'm using a compaq presario C551TU notebook with a 15.4 widescreen monitor. it has a 1280x800 reso. why isn't there any choice for 1280x800 reso on Screen Resolution?
[09:43] <TaintedTux> jrib: i ge tthat same error grabbing key...output and nothing plays
[09:43] <Comrade-Sergei> vox754, ok now how do i use that iso to show itself as UT2004_CD2?
[09:44] <erisco> adaptr, my icons are not appearing... that is my problem
[09:44] <doodoo> scorp123, may be an answer on the debian channel
[09:44] <kazim59> countzero: do you want to install ntfs-3g?
[09:44] <erisco> adaptr, I also do not get the drag box
[09:44] <adaptr> erisco pastebin which processes are running
[09:44] <britt> how do I share a cups printer in samba?
[09:44] <countzero> yes.
[09:44] <scorp123> doodoo: yes, try that ....
[09:44] <vox754> Comrade-Sergei, next time don't mount them on /media/cdrom0, just use different folders like /media/CD1 /media/CD2 and so on
[09:44] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | countzero
[09:44] <ubotu> countzero: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[09:44] <doodoo> scorp123, ok thank's for your help
[09:45] <doodoo> scorp123, goodbye and again thank you
[09:45] <ceil420> !wfb
[09:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wfb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:45] <Comrade-Sergei> ah vox754
[09:45] <erisco> adaptr, http://pastey.net/70172
[09:45] <doodoo> bye
[09:45] <countzero> ok, I'm there.
[09:45] <kazim59> countzero: at a terminal... sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[09:46] <ceil420> adaptr, do you know what module "wfb" is? apparently that can't be loaded. But I did find a whole page and a half or so that started with [II]  NVIDIA, but it looks like there were no problems there. The only [EE] 's other than "wfb" are about wacom.
[09:46] <kazim59> countzero: and say Y when it asks you
[09:46] <jrib> TaintedTux: what version of ubuntu?
[09:46] <magnetron> how do i determine my subpixel order for the subpixel font hinting?
[09:46] <countzero> done
[09:46] <fuzzy_logic> hello people..
[09:46] <TaintedTux> jrib: 7.04
[09:47] <fuzzy_logic> does anyone know a good program for recording sounds that are playing right now on my pc?
[09:47] <kazim59> countzero: done... does it say "setting up ntfs-config" ?
[09:47] <adaptr> ceil420 that's the driver it's porobably trying to use
[09:47] <jrib> TaintedTux: k, I found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sonata/+bug/103433 btw.  See if the suggestion in the last post resolves your issue
[09:47] <countzero> yes.
[09:47] <ceil420> adaptr, just out of curiousity, would it be possible for a poorly written theme to make it so that the graphical login screen can't show up? :x
[09:47] <countzero> it was already installed, apparently.
[09:47] <kazim59> countzero: thats good...
[09:47] <adaptr> erisco the desktop is run by session-manager and metacity, the *contents* is handled by gnome-panel and bonobo (the interactive parts)
[09:48] <ceil420> adaptr, other than adding sounds to the login screen, that's the only thing i can think of that i've really done since last boot
[09:48] <Invisionfree> How do I enable all repositories?
[09:48] <adaptr> ceil420 well, that's probably not what's happening here, but it *can* be due to permission issues with the theme or its components
[09:48] <jrib> !repos > Invisionfree (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:48] <jrib> Invisionfree: also see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions
[09:48] <scorp123> Invisionfree: really *all* ?
[09:48] <adaptr> ceil420 pastebin you xorg.conf somewhere
[09:48] <adaptr> *your
[09:48] <kazim59> countzero: let me install it on my system before i continue with you
[09:49] <ceil420> adaptr, the theme is just one gtkrc file in ~/.themes
[09:49] <ceil420> adaptr, i don't know how to access the web without a GUI
[09:49] <adaptr> ceil420 and that's xml, isn't it ?I dunno, anything *could* be wrong I guess
[09:49] <countzero> !KAZIM59 THANK YOU
[09:49] <tovella> ceil420: do you have a recent backup?  have you created another user on your computer?
[09:49] <countzero> sorry, caps.

[09:49] <adaptr> ceil420 ubuntu always makes a backup copy of xorg.conf
[09:50] <jrib> TaintedTux: weird that mpc also didn't work, but alright as long as you can listen to your music now :)
[09:50] <panzer> does anyone know how to make a custom usplash screen? I am having troubles with mine

[09:50] <cchance> would it be possible to run ubuntu server on a IBM PC 300GL Business Series Computer Tower P3 733 Mhz
[09:50] <tovella> ceil420: perhaps you could create a test user & see if you can login via the other username.  i mention this because typically the sound settings are stored in the home directory of each user.
[09:50] <Invisionfree> I have a strange question about themes....Does anyone know a really good site to get a very real looking Mac OSX theme?
[09:51] <fuzzy_logic> Invisionfree: for gnome?
[09:51] <Invisionfree> Yes
[09:51] <helio6> help needed: i checked the md5sum of the iso file and burned 2 cd's, but at boot i ever get errors
[09:51] <helio6> i use ntfs

[09:52] <Invisionfree> Ill check it out
[09:52] <kazim59> countzero: done... now Applications -> System Tools -> NTFS Configuration Tool
[09:52] <Invisionfree> Thanks
[09:52] <Invisionfree> fuzzy_logic: Does it have the images too?
[09:52] <cchance> guys, i want to buy this thing i love its proce but i want to know if it will work. IBM PC 300GL Business Series Computer Tower P3 733 Mhz with 128MB memory for Ubuntu 7.04 Server
[09:52] <countzero> !kazim59 ok
[09:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kazim59 ok - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:52] <fuzzy_logic> Invisionfree: i think so..
[09:53] <ceil420> adaptr, where's xorg.conf?
[09:53] <adaptr> in /etc/X11
[09:53] <scorp123> ceil420: /etc/X11/
[09:53] <xenex> ceil420, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:53] <countzero> kazim59 done
[09:53] <ceil420> heh thanks
[09:53] <adaptr> you cannot edit it as Joe Q luser
[09:53] <kazim59> countzero: what you see there... it must be explanatory?
[09:53] <adaptr> sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:54] <kazim59> countzero: mark the checkbox saying "Enable write support..."
[09:54] <helio6> why in the boot phase i get the message  the cd is wrong ?
[09:54] <scorp123> adaptr: "vi" ?  Might be too hard for him?
[09:54] <iShock> fuzzy_logic: Does it have the images for the mac osx theme?
[09:54] <ceil420> adaptr, how do i copy text?
[09:54] <adaptr> scorp123 what else is there ?
[09:54] <vox754> cchance, look for the hardware on ubuntuforums.org, most probably someone has already used it.
[09:54] <kazim59> countzero: does the configuration tool show your external hard disk? (sdb1)
[09:54] <adaptr> ceil420 why would you want to ?
[09:54] <ceil420> scorp123, i prefer nano, but whatever works
[09:54] <countzero> kazim59 I pressed ok, and the partition tool went away.
[09:54] <ceil420> adaptr, to paste in a pastebin
[09:54] <scorp123> adaptr: in text mode? nano ....
[09:55] <fuzzy_logic> iSHock: as i said.. i think so
[09:55] <adaptr> ceil420 if the theme altered your xorg.conf then you're harder fscked than is prudent...
[09:55] <fuzzy_logic> haven't tried it
[09:55] <iShock> fuzzy_logic: I pinged out
[09:55] <kazim59> countzero: did you check the "Enable ..." option?
[09:55] <adaptr> scorp123 nano is a given on ubuntu ?
[09:55] <scorp123> adaptr: let me check ... I did not install it but if I got it too ....
[09:55] <tovella> cchance: that machine would work ok as a slow server.
[09:55] <ceil420> adaptr, how do i know if the theme altered xorg.conf? it oughtn't, i wrote the theme from scratch and it's in my home folder (and nano is standard)
[09:56] <scorp123> adaptr: yes, I got it too ... so it must be here per default I guess?
[09:56] <adaptr> ceil420 then it didn't - you did :)
[09:56] <countzero>  NTFS logfile is unclean
[09:56] <AndyR> hi room
[09:56] <adaptr> apropos of nothing...
[09:56] <tovella> ceil420: another reason i would try logging in as a different user.
[09:56] <adaptr> ceil420 add a new user, set a password, log in to X
[09:57] <ceil420> adaptr, i haven't touched xorg.conf in over a month, since i installed the (proper) nvidia driver. since then i've enjoyed my GUI even playing games and such with no complaints until i tried to boot today
[09:57] <Anlar> countzero: just do something like sudo mount -f -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 (or where ever it was again) /media/whatever for once and it'll fix it.
[09:57] <ceil420> adaptr, how do i add a user? (i'm not used to not having a GUI
[09:57] <ceil420> )
[09:57] <adaptr> ceil420 and you got  a new kernel :)
[09:57] <countzero> ok, thanx
[09:57] <adaptr> ceil420 it's probably messed up the nvidia restricted stuff
[09:57] <llllllll> What's the terminal command for un-mounting a drive partition?
[09:57] <ceil420> adaptr, ohhh you're right, i did updates
[09:57] <kazim59> countzero: for you its /dev/sdb1
[09:57] <ceil420> adaptr, i completely forgot about that :x
[09:57] <scorp123> llllllll: umount
[09:57] <tovella> ceil420: something like "sudo useradd -m test -p test" should do it.
[09:57] <adaptr> ceil420 your valid config should, as I said, be backed up in /etc/X11
[09:57] <foug> where is my list of repositories located?
[09:57] <b0ha> is anyone using tilda?
[09:58] <adaptr> sometimes, yes
[09:58] <scorp123> foug: /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:58] <Anlar> countzero: "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" and "sudo mount -f -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1"
[09:58] <adaptr> also yakuake
[09:58] <llllllll> I'm using the Trinity Rescue Kit and it doesn't recognise unmount...
[09:58] <foug> scorp123: thanks
[09:58] <adaptr> they're both kinda slow :(
[09:58] <tovella> ceil420: it will create a user (named test) with a password (test)
[09:58] <vox754> countzero, kazim59 since you are helping him you may read a bit of "man fsck", maybe that way he can clean what seems to be a bad partition and then reformat it
[09:58] <scorp123> b0ha: now that was a strange question :-)
[09:58] <newmark> hi, someone here with voodoo 3 card?
[09:58] <PurpZeY> Are the PCRE libs in the repos?
[09:58] <PurpZeY> !pcre
[09:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pcre - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:58] <Anlar> countzero: and later it should pop up automatically on your desktop after a clean umount /dev/sdb1 and unplugging/plugging back
[09:58] <newmark> hi, someone here with voodoo 3 card?
[09:59] <scorp123> b0ha: aaaah, I get it. I take back what I said + I apologize, just forget it.
[09:59] <newmark> plz hlp
[09:59] <adaptr> newmark sorry, no, I left it in my Pentium 1 :)
[09:59] <countzero> ok, I think I'll just format the drive.I've already moved the files on it.
[09:59] <b0ha> :D
[09:59] <scorp123> newmark: Voodoo 3 ?  Boaaah. Old one.
[09:59] <b0ha> it is a terminal
[09:59] <adaptr> b0ha I like the layout of yakuake more, but the focusing sucks...
[09:59] <foug> do i need to have something in front of the address of the repository? all the ones i currently have say deb in front, should i add that?
[09:59] <garthhh> Once again, I am back.
[09:59] <newmark> yes, but it still kicks a**
[09:59] <scorp123> b0ha: yes I get it. Sooooorrry :-)
[09:59] <garthhh> On Ubuntu this time, however.
[10:00] <newmark> got it doing HL2 and FarCry on my P4
[10:00] <PurpZeY> Anyone know the name of the package for PCRE Libs?
[10:00] <garthhh> And now my video card won't work, and the drivers from ATI will not install.
[10:00] <Anlar> countzero: that's entirely unnecessary, to format it
[10:00] <b0ha> i dont know how to turn it on
[10:00] <countzero> ok
[10:00] <ceil420> tovella, i don't think that worked; i got output that looks like a help file, but i can't scroll up to read it all
[10:00] <adaptr> b0ha you what ?
[10:00] <garthhh> Is there any way to upgrade to 7.04 from 6.06?
[10:00] <b0ha> i must write tilda in terminal, but i want to autostart
[10:00] <adaptr> ceil420 that is your faulty xorg.log - ubuntu is showing you what happened, and why it could not start X
[10:00] <garthhh> Without downloading the entire .iso and booting from the CD?
[10:00] <varun0> does anyone have any suggestions for alternative terminal emulators? I'm using gnome-terminal now, but I was wondering if anyone had good experiences with anything else
[10:01] <countzero> Anlar: ok, how do I clean up the partitions again?
[10:01] <ny00123> Hmm...
[10:01] <adaptr> b0ha so add it to your autostarts
[10:01] <ny00123> varun0, konsole (better suited for KDE), xterm
[10:01] <scorp123> garthhh: you'd have to upgrade to 6.10 first
[10:01] <jrib> varun0: urxvt is nice, but I still use gnome-terminal
[10:01] <Wilco991> gathhh you mean like a delta iso with just the changes?
[10:01] <kazim59> countzero: lot of confusion prevailed... so I am leaving... gotta sleep!
[10:01] <ceil420> adaptr, what is? i'm talking about the adduser output
[10:01] <tovella> ceil420: try to login from the terminal session "su test".
[10:01] <garthhh> i have no idea
[10:01] <newmark> adaptr, somehow i got it working with compiz but it crashes beryl
[10:01] <garthhh> i just need to upgrade
[10:01] <foug> does deb need to be in front of all repositories?
[10:01] <ny00123> tovella su or sudo? ;] 
[10:01] <ceil420> adaptr, i haven't seen any complaints from ubuntu
[10:01] <mdszepher> Is there a way to set up Ubuntu to automatically use my USB wireless receiver when logging in?
[10:01] <ny00123> foug, yes
[10:01] <countzero> kazim59 thanks anyway:)
[10:01] <garthhh> Ok, so I need to get to 6.10 first...
[10:01] <b0ha> how about keyboard shortcut?
[10:01] <adaptr> varun0 gnome-terminal is about the worst, crudest piece of * I know.. use konsole or eterm or aterm or.. antyhing but gnome
[10:01] <Ominous> how do you open a file in text editor in "sudo" privilages?
[10:01] <ceil420> tovella, unknown ID
[10:01] <foug> ny00123: what aobut svn? trying to install asterisk
[10:02] <garthhh> Anyone have any suggestions?
[10:02] <ny00123> subversion
[10:02] <jrib> !startup > b0ha (see the private message from ubotu)
[10:02] <xp_prg> anyone have experience with wireless networks on ubuntu?
[10:02] <varun0> adaptr, ny00123, jrib: I'm thinking maybe something a little more lightweight. I end up having a dozen terms open
[10:02] <nixnoob> How can I go about making my laptop battery last longer?  Any kernel hacks or anything to conserve power?
[10:02] <ny00123> is the full name of svn
[10:02] <Wilco991> garthhh terminal and run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[10:02] <scorp123> garthhh: there is a how-to at the Ubuntu forums ...
[10:02] <ny00123> varun0, you can opens tabs in the same gnome-terminal.
[10:02] <newmark> someone mentioned downgrading Xorg to 7.1
[10:02] <ceil420> Ominous, sudo nano /path/to/file
[10:02] <jrib> varun0: more lightweight than urxvt or xterm?
[10:02] <adaptr> varun0 lightweight ? you open ONE konsole and that's it
[10:02] <robink> Woah, Debian/Ubuntu can build from source?
[10:02] <tovella> ceil420: then it didn't create the user.  perhaps you mistyped something in the command "sudo useradd -m test -p test"
[10:02] <helio6> help needed for the installation
[10:02] <vox754> garthhh, you need to download like 1 GB from 6.10 and then to 7.04, you may well reinstall with 7.04
[10:02] <scorp123> vox754: yeah, true.
[10:02] <kazim59> Anlar: countzero has installed ntfs-3g.... please continue
[10:03] <varun0> jrib: more lighweight than gnome-terminal, sorry :-)
[10:03] <robink> I mean I knew there was support for that in the Debianized source tarballs...
[10:03] <ceil420> tovella, you're right :x i did adduser
[10:03] <Wilco991> everyone knows about the apt-get dist-upgrade, right?
[10:03] <garthhh> That would be the problem
[10:03] <Wilco991> why?
[10:03] <b0ha> ok, how do you start a program in terminal, that doesnt exit when you close terminal
[10:03] <varun0> ny00123: so you can........I never saw that before........I'd seen in on konsole, but not gnome-terminal
[10:03] <garthhh> My computer is giving me a whole lot of problems with installing Ubuntu
[10:03] <scorp123> Wilco991: "everyone" ..... ahem, not necessarily.
[10:03] <Anlar> kazim59: continue. all he has to do is to run the mount command once, the -f will clean the dirty flag from the fs
[10:03] <garthhh> I'm downloading all of the available updates for 6 now
[10:03] <newmark> hi, someone here with voodoo 3 card?
[10:03] <newmark> plz hlp
[10:03] <llllllll> One more noob question: how do I shut down a machine from the terminal?
[10:03] <DrNick1> hi. anyone have any experience with setting up j2ee on eclipse?
[10:03] <Wilco991> but you've got a working 6.06 system right?
[10:03] <nixnoob> shutdown -r now
[10:03] <garthhh> But, if I have to reinstall, I'll probably lose linux altogether.
[10:04] <garthhh> yes
[10:04] <nixnoob> wait thats reboot
[10:04] <nixnoob> shutdown now
[10:04] <countzero> Anlar: what is the mount command?
[10:04] <scorp123> llllllll: sudo poweroff
[10:04] <jrib> llllllll: shutdown -h now   (-r is restart)
[10:04] <tovella> ceil420: could have been my fault - password might need to be at least 6 charicters.
[10:04] <addyk> Can anyone tell me how do I tell the kernel to search for a usb webcam that I just plugged in?
[10:04] <Wilco991> after the updates are done try that command
[10:04] <aneviltrend> @b0ha use an ampersand after the program name when you run it
[10:04] <llllllll> lol, ok, I'll try those
[10:04] <ceil420> tovella, but now that it's created, i get "authentication failure" when i try to login, and i know i'm not mistyping the --what?
[10:04] <vox754> llllllll, "sudo halt" is the proper way, and also "sudo reboot"
[10:04] <Wilco991> I used it to go from 6.10 to 7.04
[10:04] <ny00123> yes varun0,  Shift+Ctrl+T
[10:04] <Wilco991> worked fine
[10:04] <ceil420> tovella, what will it do if the password is less than six characters? i set it at 5 :x
[10:04] <scorp123> vox754: poweroff is the same here on Linux ... just don't do that on Solaris ;-)
[10:04] <varun0> ny00123: yea I just saw that.........very useful.......thank you!
[10:04] <Wilco991> garthhh are you dual booting with windows?
[10:05] <CptAJ[ve] > could someone point me to a good MIDI guide? I need to get rosegarden working. Thanks
[10:05] <newmark> Does downgrading Xorg to 7.1 make any difference for tdfx, it helped with ATI
[10:05] <Anlar> countzero: "sudo mount -f -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1"
[10:05] <garthhh> yes
[10:05] <vox754> scorp123, thanks for the advice
[10:05] <garthhh> i finally got GRUB to work.
[10:05] <b0ha> aneviltrend,  what is ampersand?
[10:05] <addyk> Can anyone tell me how do I tell the kernel to search for a usb webcam that I just plugged in?
[10:05] <ny00123> No problem varun0 ;)
[10:05] <Wilco991> xp or vista garthhh?
[10:05] <vox754> b0ha, &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& this
[10:05] <iShock> Just out of curiosity, is it bad for a 1 KBPS download speed?
[10:05] <Wilco991> I had a PILE of problems with grub with vista
[10:05] <garthhh> XP
[10:05] <erUSUL> addyk: it will do so automatically
[10:05] <tovella> ceil420: try this "sudo passwd test"  it will give you an opportunity to change test's password.
[10:05] <aneviltrend> b0ha the & symbol
[10:05] <newmark> Does downgrading Xorg to 7.1 make any difference for tdfx, it helped with ATI
[10:05] <newmark> plz hlp
[10:05] <Wilco991> eventually just was like ugh, I'll just use two seperate drives
[10:05] <b0ha> aneviltrend,  tnx :)
[10:05] <garthhh> I'd never spend hundreds of dollars on something that doesn't even function correctly
[10:05] <ceil420> adaptr, how do i tell Xubuntu to use the old xorg.conf, if that's the problem?
[10:05] <newmark> annyone?
[10:05] <erUSUL> addyk: run lsusb to see all your attached usb devices
[10:05] <Anlar> Wilco991: it is usually recommended to allow the Microsoft's bootloader to handle also the linuxes..
[10:06] <addyk> erUSUL: I plugged it in and when I started a webcam prog... it didn't show any video0
[10:06] <ceil420> tovella, that worked
[10:06] <CptAJ[ve] > Midi? anyone? I need a guide or someone to tell me how to set it up.
[10:06] <addyk> OK :)
[10:06] <Anlar> garthhh: it works pretty nicely, it's superior on many areas.. I got the business version legally for free myself and it's nice
[10:06] <aneviltrend> does anyone know any good desktop monitor apps (conky flickers too much for me)?
[10:06] <CptAJ[ve] > Preferably for my audigy card
[10:06] <scorp123> newmark: I don't think anyone has a 3dfx card .... so it's hard to give you any intelligent advice ...
[10:06] <Wilco991> well the problem was I installed Vista first and then installed ubuntu and grub overwrote the vista bootloader and the install cd couldn't fix it
[10:06] <garthhh> Oh, I've heard a lot of bad things about it.
[10:06] <tovella> ceil420: you're able to login to the terminal as the user test?
 thx
[10:06] <erUSUL> addyk: maybe the camera is not supported?
[10:07] <addyk> erUSUL: I see only one... and it says Microdia.
[10:07] <ceil420> tovella, i'm able to login to the terminal as the user "debug", yes. i just prefer that word to "test" <_<
[10:07] <Anlar> Wilco991: it can fix it, just boot the console and fixmbr+fixboot
[10:07] <kbrooks> how do i go on an AP w/ iwconfig myself?
[10:07] <Wilco991> I got pretty pissed and just went and used an old portable hard drive and used the BIOS boot selection to boot from USB
[10:07] <braddcadd> anyone know of a PHP editor with strep through debug support?
[10:07] <addyk> erUSUL: I used the camera on ubuntu-like before :)
[10:07] <varun0> on the subject of lightweight replacements :-) is there anything for pdfs besides xpdf?
[10:07] <Wilco991> well, I've got the dual HDD thing going now, works fine, I don't have the patience to try one HDD again
 too bad, it has really the BEST picture quality ever,
[10:07] <Anlar> varun0: evince
[10:07] <ceil420> varun0, i use evince
[10:07] <addyk> it recognised as sn9c102 if I'm not mistaking erUSUL
[10:07] <CptAJ[ve] > whats with the linux community completely ignoring midi questions? same thing in the forum, jeez
[10:08] <jrib> !midi > CptAJ[ve]  (see the private message from ubotu)
[10:08] <countzero> Anlar: I got a messaage that it is unclean, and got a tip to install ntfsfix version 1.13.1
[10:08] <varun0> Anlar, ceil420: hm....looks interesting...........thanks for the tip!
[10:08] <younghacker> how do i access the fstab directory?
[10:08] <Anlar> countzero: was the -f there?
[10:08] <jrib> younghacker: it's a file, do:  gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[10:09] <younghacker> cool thanks alot
[10:09] <CptAJ[ve] > jrib: isn't timidity just for listening? I want to get rosegarden working and I have midi capable soundcard
[10:09] <vox754> CptAJ[ve] , how can people ignore midi, it is hot right now! oh no, I meant mp3, sorry
[10:09] <tovella> ceil420: ok now we're going to do three things - 1. switch to xsession: "Ctrl - Alt -F7", 2. restart xsession: "Ctrl - Alt - Backspace", 3. login as your new-user.
[10:09] <kbrooks> how do i go on an AP w/ iwconfig myself?
[10:09] <kbrooks> how do i go on an AP w/ iwconfig myself?
[10:09] <countzero> Anlar: no, it wasn't.
[10:09] <kitche> !repeat | kbrooks
[10:09] <ubotu> kbrooks: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[10:09] <CptAJ[ve] > vox754: its used extensively for music composition.
[10:09] <jrib> CptAJ[ve] : sorry, that's all I know.  I've never really messed with midi
[10:09] <Anlar> countzero: well, ...
[10:09] <ProN00b> how can i install certain applications as x86 versions on a 64bit Ubuntu ? (firefox, mplayer for plugins and codecs)
[10:10] <Anlar> CptAJ[ve] : they are not ignoring, almost no one on this planet just uses midi so it's hard to know anything about it :/
[10:10] <kitche> ProN00b: install the 32bit libs along side your system
[10:10] <DrNick1> hi there.  does anyone have any experience with setting up j2ee on eclipse? any help appreciated :)
[10:10] <ProN00b> kitche, how ?
[10:10] <vox754> CptAJ[ve] , the thing is simple, every hardware needs drivers, and if those don't exist there is nothing to do. There are not a lot of music composers I guess.
[10:10] <countzero> Anlar: thank you for your suggestions. Can you help me reformat the drive instead?
[10:10] <CptAJ[ve] >  Anlar: thats nuts, midi is crucial for musicians all over the planet >_<
[10:10] <jrib> CptAJ[ve] : but rosegarden is packaged in the repos.  Usually if you need to do something special to set it up, you can find docs in /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE_NAME/README.Debian
[10:10] <Anlar> countzero: why? there is absolutely no need to reformat it, just use -f and it will get fixed and work happily ever after.
[10:11] <garthhh> I got the .drm packages for my video card drivers, and my package installer says that the file is unsupported. Any ideas?
[10:11] <CptAJ[ve] > jrib: I'll try that
[10:11] <CptAJ[ve] > thanks
[10:11] <vox754> !flash64 > ProN00b
[10:11] <ceil420> tovella, i go to xsession, and i still see the "waiting" cursor. I hit ctrl+alt+backspace, and the screen blanks, shows the nvidia splash, blanks and shows the nvidia splash, then shows the "waiting" cursor again. I'm here now because I could never see the login screen in the first place; i just hit ctrl+alt+F1 after watching the cursor rotate for a bit.
[10:11] <nicklas> Hi!
[10:11] <countzero> Anlar: I might be a bit dim, but I have still no idea on how to use -f
[10:11] <newmark> <CptAJ[ve]  I left you a pm
[10:11] <newmark> TiMidity
[10:11] <newmark> +
[10:11] <Anlar> countzero: "sudo mount -f -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1"
[10:11] <kbrooks> does anyone here know how to use iwconfig?
[10:12] <newmark> <CptAJ[ve]  look for it in Debian rep's
[10:12] <kitche> ProN00b: the ubuntu forums most likely have a post about it
[10:12] <jrib> newmark: why?  it's in ubuntu's repos as well
[10:12] <CptAJ[ve] > newmark: I'm not sure that'll work and even then, its a temporary solution. I need the hardware support. But I'll try it anyway
[10:12] <tovella> ceil420: ok, so we've narrowed it down to something other than files in your home directory.  now it's time to focus more on "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
[10:12] <newmark> yeah, I just looked it up
[10:13] <CTho> how do I install 2.6.22 in feisty fawn?
[10:13] <vox754> kbrooks, you can start by reading "man iwconfig"
[10:13] <countzero> Anlar: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28144/
[10:13] <kitche> CTho: compile it yourself
[10:13] <newmark> <CptAJ[ve]  http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Applications_GUI_Multimedia/Three_Steps_to_MIDI_on_Linux
[10:13] <jason__> how do i install automatix in kubuntu
[10:13] <younghacker> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[10:13] <younghacker> kernel?
[10:13] <CTho> kitche: that tends to break things.
[10:14] <kitche> CTho: not really unless you don't know the options to choose
[10:14] <LjL> !automatix > jason__    (jason__, see the private message from Ubotu)
[10:14] <AmBAr> Where is w32codecs repositories  ? they are illegal for now ?
[10:14] <britt> \q
[10:14] <ceil420> tovella, adaptr said something about a kernel update throwin' off my xorg.conf; do you know what i need to change to get it back to the way it was?
[10:14] <CTho> kitche: well, i want to choose the exact same options as the officail package used.
[10:14] <jrib> !w32codecs > AmBAr (see the private message from ubotu)
[10:14] <CTho> kitche: can't i grab an unstable / testing package somehow?
[10:14] <vox754> CptAJ[ve] , if you can make the midi manufacturers to release drives for linux then you are good
[10:14] <younghacker> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?
[10:14] <kitche> CTho: ok grab the .config file from the packages then
[10:14] <AmBAr> jrib thanks
[10:14] <jason__> i know what automatix is
[10:14] <kitche> younghacker: /usr/include/linux/ most likely
[10:15] <younghacker> thanks
[10:15] <jason__> i want to install it under kubutn
[10:15] <CTho> kitche: i don't know what that means
[10:15] <tovella> ceil420: yes and no.  i'd have to refresh my recollection of how to do it.
[10:15] <kitche> CTho: .config is what holds the options
[10:15] <kitche> jason__: well automatix is not supported her
[10:15] <LjL> jason__: i thought the bot would have made it clear to you that this is NOT the right place to ask about that.
[10:15] <ProN00b> vox754, its not only flash
[10:15] <kitche> here*
[10:15] <ceil420> tovella, Section Device > driver "nvidia" <=- that's how it should be, isn't it?
[10:15] <CTho> kitche: oh...
[10:15] <CTho> kitche: won't this mean that dpkg will not know what i really have installed?
[10:15] <kitche> Ctho: you can load it
[10:15] <CTho> kitche: is that not likely to mess with future upgrade attempts?
[10:15] <kitche> Ctho: it will only know if you grab the package for it
[10:15] <jason__> well how to install frostwire under kubuntu
[10:15] <garthhh> i think im just going to wipe all of my hard drives and start fresh
[10:16] <LjL> !frostwire > jason__    (jason__, see the private message from Ubotu)
[10:16] <vox754> ProN00b, I don't know, but there are instructions for other things. Better using 32 bit then.
[10:16] <adaptr> ceil420 rename the current xorg.conf and restore the backup that was made by the upgrade
[10:16] <ceil420> tovella, i went through all this months ago, installing nvidia-glx or something, then other versions, and went back and forth in xorg.conf changing it from "nv" to "nvidia" and whatnot; i made so many changes, I can't remember what finally worked in the end :(
[10:16] <nicklas> Do anyone know how to install drivers for an D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G630 for notebooks?
[10:16] <kitche> CTho: only if you want your kernel to be the same as ubuntu's but most likely no if you still have the ubuntu kernel installed
[10:16] <ProN00b> vox754, well, its only two things, thats not much
[10:16] <ceil420> adaptr, i'll try that
[10:16] <kitche> !frostwire | jason__
[10:16] <ubotu> jason__: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[10:16] <nicklas> Do anyone know how to install drivers for an D-Link AirPlus G DWL-G630 for notebooks?
[10:16] <CTho> kitche: i just need the lm_sensors update in 2.6.22 and don't want to break anything
[10:16] <tovella> ceil420: same here.  i had a machine with nvidia drivers, but got rid of it months ago.
[10:17] <kitche> CTho: well you would have to use either a 3rd party repo or gutsy might have it but that will still break your system most likely
[10:17] <CTho> kitche: gutsy does hvae the right version of the kernel...
[10:18] <tovella> ceil420: one thing you could do (in the interim) is reconfigure your computer to use the standard vga driver, then update your nvidia stuff, & restart xserver, again.
[10:18] <countzero> can anyone look at this and tell me why it doesn't work?
[10:18] <countzero> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28144/
[10:18] <ceil420> adaptr, re-named xorg.conf to xorg.conf.backup1, and xorg.conf.backup to xorg.conf; is that all i need to do?
[10:19] <ceil420> tovella, hopefully using the backup xorg.conf will be enough, but yeah i'll try that if it's not
[10:19] <MSIGuy> So, I've been having some problems with codecs on my machine.
[10:19] <MSIGuy> I installed the Ubuntu-Restricted Codec Pack, but still had some problems playing MP3's under anything but Totem.
[10:19] <adaptr> ceil420 try that, yes
[10:19] <ceil420> adaptr, there was also a xorg.conf_backup_DATETIME file, is that the one i was supposed to change?
[10:19] <adaptr> ceil420 if that doesn't work, the acvtual nvidia driver was messed up
[10:19] <d4rkmonkey> coool! IRC In gaim :D
[10:19] <MSIGuy> I uninstalled the Restricted Codec Pack, now is there something else I should try, or should I just reinstall it?
[10:20] <adaptr> ceil420 that depends on what the time and date were, of course
[10:20] <tovella> ceil420: i don't think so due to the kernel update.  another thing you could do is reboot, then press the Tab key to get to the Grub menu & choose the previous version of the kernel.
[10:20] <ceil420> adaptr, 200704230128 :x too many digits for me to make something of it
[10:20] <ceil420> i just assume it's a date because of the 2007
[10:20] <vox754> countzero, "sudo mount -f -t ntfs -o ro /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1"
[10:21] <Ominous> whats the best way to get/install drivers for my ati x300 card?
[10:21] <tovella> ceil420: indeed, it is the date of the last version of xorg.conf
[10:21] <vox754> countzero, it is telling you that you better plug that drive to a windows machine to cleanly remove it.
[10:21] <tovella> ceil420: ...date & time.
[10:22] <countzero> vox754 I put in the command, and nothing happened.
[10:22] <asherZ> Hi i am running fiesty with compiz fusion on a nvidia 6800, i would like to try out compiz fusion with XGL is it worth it?
[10:22] <Ind[y] > A (normally) moving .gif image does not "move" in my Ubuntu. Why? Any hints please?
[10:22] <countzero> vox754 yes, that's why I wonder if it's less hassle to just reformat it.
[10:23] <tovella> Ind[y] : moving from where to where?
[10:23] <DrNick1> Ind[y] : what does it not move in?  by "move" do you mean animate?
[10:23] <countzero> vox754 I don't have a windows machine anymore:)
[10:23] <Ind[y] > tovella: No. I mean with motion.
[10:23] <Ind[y] > DrNick1: sorry, yes.
[10:23] <ocha> i've been reading up on this crazy thingy do-da called remote access, does ubuntu not come with anything to use remote control access?
[10:23] <tovella> Ind[y] : ahh, i see.
[10:23] <d4rkmonkey> /server home.ia-net.net
[10:23] <vox754> countzero, maybe it is already mounted, so unmount it like "sudo umount /dev/sdb1"  and then mount it again. Break into your neighbor's house just to plug the drive, and the flee!
[10:23] <d4rkmonkey> ooo..
[10:24] <d4rkmonkey> I don't know if I like pidgin as IRC...
[10:24] <DrNick1> Ind[y] : they don't animate as icons as far as i know, only in web-pages i think
[10:24] <Ind[y] > DrNick1: ok other OSes it animates
[10:24] <Ind[y] > s/ok/on
[10:24] <tovella> Ind[y] : ...animated gif.
[10:24] <Ind[y] > tovella: yes
[10:24] <DarkLady_> mmm... how can I use the irc channels on gaim?
[10:25] <DrNick1> Ind[y] : where do you mean?  as far as i recall the icons don't animate in anything (do they?)
[10:25] <vox754> countzero, and I've already told you a million times, use gparted to repartition and format it!
[10:25] <AmBAr> is true that w32codecs no more are on ubuntu repositories becouse are considered ilegal ?
[10:25] <PriceChild> AmBAr, yes
[10:25] <ceil420> adaptr, tovella, sorry, our house's wiring is messed up, and lately whenever someone uses a kitchen appliance, it throws the circuit. For reasons known only to the people that wired our house, my room is connected ;x (but when i booted this time, i didn't even get an nvidia splash screen. it was black, then it flickered a half page of text, then it was black again with the "waiting" cursor)
[10:25] <Ind[y] > DrNick1: It doesn't have motion on my Ubuntu, where on (eg) a win32 machine it has motion. As you view it with the "Open Image" functionality.
[10:25] <POVaddct> !w32codecs | AmBAr
[10:25] <ubotu> AmBAr: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[10:25] <PriceChild> AmBAr, however go medibuntu, or seveas' repos for them
[10:26] <vicox> Ind[y] : simply open the .gif with your browser
[10:26] <AmBAr>  !w32codecs
[10:26] <AmBAr> !w32codecs
[10:26] <ceil420> adaptr, so it looks like switching xorg.conf and xorg.conf.backup didn't work :x
[10:26] <ceil420> adaptr, i'm gonna try the date coded one now
[10:26] <POVaddct> AmBAr: read what ubotu said
[10:26] <tovella> ceil420: you need an uninteruptable power supply (UPS).
[10:27] <Ind[y] > vicox: :/
[10:27] <Ind[y] > ok
[10:27] <ceil420> tovella, yes, i do -_-
[10:27] <countzero> vox754: sorry, it must have slipped past me.
[10:27] <AmBAr> POVaddct thanks
[10:27] <vox754> countzero, you must be kidding!
[10:27] <countzero> vox754: how do I use gparted?
[10:27] <tovella> ceil420: that adds another piece to the puzzle.  it means you could have experienced corruption of some other files.
[10:27] <countzero> vox754: no, not at all.
[10:27] <linxeh> has anyone experienced poor X performance with ubuntu when accessing it from an X server running on Windows or OSX? I get the same problems with multiple servers / desktops / networs
[10:28] <cupps> How come gSopCast closes everytime I try to launch a stream?
[10:28] <vox754> !gparted | countzero
[10:28] <ubotu> countzero: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[10:28] <CAL|Smeltn`> so is Beryl pretty good?
[10:28] <ceil420> adaptr, tovella, "Failed to start the X server, it is likely that it's not set up correctly" :x
[10:28] <Ind[y] > What does a purple dot after the IRC nickname, mean? Like: green --> channel operator, orange --> voice, So, purple --> ?
[10:28] <Ind[y] > In X-Chat.
[10:29] <CTho> Ind[y] : half op
[10:29] <CTho> err
[10:29] <shakefu> hey -- "Error Reading Boot CD" anyone ?
[10:29] <Ind[y] > CTho: No, they are above the ops o.O
[10:29] <kitche> Ind[y] : is it like Chanserv and such?
[10:29] <CTho> Ind[y] : for me, ops are green, halfops blue, voice orange
[10:29] <kitche> Ind[y] : it could be network ops or network services
[10:29] <Ind[y] > CTho: me too. but purple = what?
[10:29] <tovella> ceil420: at this point, i'm wondering how much your unstable power problems have contributed to this problem.
[10:30] <Ind[y] > ok, thanks
[10:30] <ceil420> adaptr, tovella, "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!" apparently that date coded xorg.conf backup is worse that the non-dated one :x
[10:30] <ceil420> +than
[10:30] <MSIGuy> !codec > MSIGuy
[10:31] <shakefu> anyone ?
[10:31] <shakefu> i have installed several ubuntu versions before without this issue.
[10:31] <kbrooks> AmBAr, yes.
[10:31] <countzero> vox754: i've installed gparted. now what?
[10:31] <tovella> ceil420: since the date of your previous xorg.conf is from april, i no longer think that's the problem.  this problem came up much more recently than that.
[10:31] <kbrooks> AmBAr, but seveaas repo has win32codecs
[10:31] <cupps> Can anyone here help me with sopcast?
[10:32] <Jordan_U> ceil420, What happens when you run: sudo modprobe nvidia
[10:32] <ekso> if during the reinstallation ubuntu doesn't find the previous users (even with /home in a separate partition), will i loose something from /home?
[10:32] <vox754> countzero, now open it, then select your drive, delete the partitions, create a new partition ext3, save changes and you are good. But first unmount the drive, you can touch it if it is still mounted.
[10:32] <ceil420> tovella, if that date in the ls -l output is the file creation date, all three xorg.conf files were made in april
[10:32] <Ominous_> i have ati-driver-installer-8.38.6-x86.x86_64.run how do i run it?
[10:32] <Huffameg> help! i'm trying to compile RealPlayer for Linux but i don't understand what to do. it says Download RealPlayer and so I have, and it downloads a .bin file.. how to proceed from here?
[10:32] <Jordan_U> Ominous, Did restricted manager not work?
[10:33] <kitche>  Huffameg: ./<file>.run but might want to look at HelixPlayer
[10:33] <shakefu> any help at all on "error reading boot cd" when trying the desktop iSO?
[10:33] <countzero> vox754: how do I open it?I'm a newbie!
[10:33] <jack|Helium> Huffameg: install VLC instead ;-)
[10:33] <tovella> ceil420: exactly.  it hasn't changed since april, but this problem just came up within the last day or two, right?
[10:33] <candelaresi> hello
[10:33] <ceil420> Jordan_U, "FATAL: could not open '/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko' No such file
[10:33] <ceil420> tovella, yeah
[10:33] <candelaresi> my english it`snt good...
[10:33] <candelaresi> someone can help????
[10:33] <jack|Helium> candelaresi: what's you native language?
[10:34] <Ominous_> Jordan_U : thanks
[10:34] <vox754> countzero, you don't ask those questions! (we already know your a nub!)  click your panel for applications and installed things under system, and stuff! man you seriously fail under Windows also
[10:34] <xiven> Hey...can I gave the gnome panel(top and bottom) a custom image for a background instead of grey color?
[10:34] <candelaresi> spanish...
[10:34] <Huffameg> jack|Helium: i'm trying to stream a radio show and i tells me to download RealPlayer. I allready have VLC - how would I use it like that?
[10:34] <tovella> ceil420: given your power problems, i'm really leaning toward file corruption as the culprit.
[10:34] <gnomefreak> !es | candelaresi
[10:34] <ubotu> candelaresi: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[10:34] <candelaresi> but in de spanish chanel they can help my
[10:34] <jack|Helium> candelaresi: theres a spanish IRC
[10:34] <Huffameg> jack|Helium: it's like it doesn't detect vlc at all..
[10:34] <ekso> hello, i'm trying to re-install ubuntu, but it doesn't find the previous users on the actual installation. if i proceed and reinstall, will I loose any files from /home/<users>? and if after installation i create a user "ekso", will it use the previous /home/ekso without losing any files?
[10:34] <ceil420> tovella, so how do i make a non-corrupt file?
[10:34] <countzero> I came here to get help, not get insulted by an asberger guy.
[10:34] <jack|Helium> Huffameg
[10:35] <candelaresi> they can not help me...
[10:35] <Jordan_U> candelaresi, What is your question?
[10:35] <jack|Helium> Huffameg: probably you need a FF plugin or something
[10:35] <kitche> Huffameg: well vlc doesn't have a plugin it's most likely looking for a plugin type of browser
[10:35] <CptAJ[ve] > jrib: thanks, midi is working now
[10:35] <vox754> countzero, just click on things! is that so hard?
[10:35] <candelaresi> i need to open a windows`s hlp file
[10:35] <candelaresi> in my ubuntu
[10:35] <countzero> vox754: and it's not on the panel for installed stuff.
[10:35] <ceil420> tovella, i'm willing to go through the nvidia driver installation process again from scratch, if someone's willing to tell me how to do it :x i know i need nvidia-glx, but i don't know about anything else i need to do
[10:35] <jack|Helium> Huffameg: you could get the exact address of the file you need to play, and then enter that in VLC
[10:35] <Huffameg> kitche: okay.. so then I have to install RealPlayer anyway..
[10:35] <Huffameg> ?
[10:35] <lazz0> roflmaowsjakpdiobwcr @ asberger guy :)))
[10:35] <tovella> ceil420: when a file becomes corrupt, it's like many other things. no turning back.
[10:36] <kitche> Huffameg: sudo apt-get install helix-player
[10:36] <jack|Helium> Huffameg: I'm not sure there's a realplayer for linux browser plugin either...
[10:36] <ekso> anyone? :(
[10:36] <candelaresi> i need to open a windows`s hlp file in my ubuntu...
[10:36] <hypn0> candelaresi: I saw an app over at getdeb.net to do that I believe
[10:36] <Slart> anyone know of a reason to buy/not to buy an intel core duo, to run ubuntu on?
[10:36] <homanj> ekso: not quite sure, but if you reinstall, normally all files are gone from that partition
[10:36] <ceil420> tovella, How optimistic of you.
[10:36] <Slart> as opposed to an AMD 64 x2
[10:36] <kitche> Huffameg: then sudo apt-get install mozilla-helix-player to get the plugin
[10:36] <homanj> ekso: i would backup everything you want to keep
[10:36] <ekso> homanj: oh well... ok, thanks
[10:36] <tovella> ceil420: the biggest problem is that in such situations (unstable power) it's terribly difficult to determine which files have become corrupt.
[10:36] <ekso> i will backup then
[10:37] <jack|Helium> Slart: Intel might have better support, but I don't know
[10:37] <countzero> well, I'm off. three of you failed to help me, and I got abuse to top it off.
[10:37] <homanj> ekso: its a good habit to get into anyways
[10:37] <Jordan_U> candelaresi, install helpdeco
[10:37] <jack|Helium> Slart: Intel prabably has a faster FSB
[10:37] <candelaresi> from synaptic???
[10:37] <xiven> Hello?
[10:37] <newmark> hi, someone here with voodoo 3 card?
[10:37] <tovella> ceil420: if you had a recent backup, there's more that could be done.
[10:37] <kitche> Huffameg: helix-player is the open source version of Real Player pretty much
[10:37] <Jordan_U> candelaresi, Yes
[10:37] <newmark> hi, someone here with voodoo 3 card?
[10:37] <candelaresi> oks
[10:38] <matt__> man
[10:38] <xiven> How can I give the gnome top and bottom panel's custom colors?
[10:38] <tovella> ceil420: do you have an external drive - someplace to backup files to?
[10:38] <Slart> jack|Helium: ok, considering I'm running ubuntu now on an amd 64 x2 without any major problems an intel core duo should be fine, no =)
[10:38] <ekso> homanj: yes, but it's just that it's not very much important stuff, mostly themes, images and installation files. but anyways, out to backup the important stuff
[10:38] <ekso> tks!!
[10:38] <nixnoob> can someone explain the "tickless" kernel to me/
[10:38] <homanj> ekso: look at putting /home on its own partition
[10:38] <ceil420> tovella, you're still just assuming that my whole problem is file corruption, and not issues with an updated kernel. I'm not willing to give up so easily. And if i had an external drive, i'd back up more often; as it is, i don't even have blank CDs right now
[10:38] <jack|Helium> Slart: probably, I've not heard any coplaints about those chips. Also, they are very, very overclockable
[10:38] <Huffameg> kitche: thanks!
[10:39] <tovella> ceil420: what about some space on your existing drive?
[10:39] <ekso> homanj: yes yes, it is on its own partition. but the installation is not "finding any users on it"
[10:39] <Slart> jack|Helium: ok, thanks for your help
[10:39] <jack|Helium> Slart: yvw, glad I could help
[10:39] <homanj> ekso: ah, interesting.
[10:39] <tovella> ceil420: ...unused partition?
[10:39] <antihero1> how do i display the users list in gnome-xchat?? can I ?
[10:40] <homanj> ekso: i am not sure if adding a user will overwrite stuff
[10:40] <tovella> ceil420: ...or unpartitioned space?
[10:40] <ceil420> tovella, it's an unpartitioned 20gig hard drive. I have an 80gig drive i use for music and movies, but it has write issues at the moment. Either way, I'd rather have the problem fixed before i start backing up files
[10:40] <candelaresi> Jordan_U. oks... i installed the helpdeco,,, but what is the aplication to open de hlp??
[10:40] <homanj> ekso: let me know what happens, :)
[10:40] <xiven> Wow
[10:40] <kitche> antihero1: it might be there go to the right side of the window and see if there looks like a small slit
[10:40] <xiven> I have a really customed Desktop now lol
[10:40] <candelaresi> Jordan_U. oks... i installed the helpdeco,,, but what is the aplication to open the hlp??
[10:40] <ekso> homanj: okey :)
[10:40] <ceil420> tovella, the 20gig only has about 8gig free space left
[10:41] <adaptr> ceil420 what you want to do is run "sudo aptitude search restricted" and see which says "i(nstalled)" in the left column - it should match your current kernel EXACTLY
[10:41] <Milan-> Hi all! I'm trying to debug Gaim but gdb cannot report infos on backtrace. I installed gaim-dbg but I still get no traces. WHat should  I do ?
[10:41] <neoby> how to get compiler?
[10:41] <adaptr> !build
[10:41] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[10:41] <antihero1> kitche: hmm, no it's nothing like the channel list
[10:41] <bruenig> neoby, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:41] <LordLimecat> i need to install grub on my harddrive, and i cant seem to find the "stage 1" file
[10:41] <tovella> ceil420: what if during your attempt to fix-first, you experience another brownout?  you really need to re-consider doing a backup before going any further.
[10:41] <LordLimecat> im currently in the grub men, anyone know how to do this?
[10:42] <javabyte> how do i reinstall and keep my home/user files - i totally messed up my install and now i'm on a live CD
[10:42] <cupps> Does anyone here know anything about using sopcast... anything?
[10:42] <adaptr> LordLimecat you did not select the right partition as boot
[10:42] <adaptr> javabyte did you put /home on a separate partition ?
[10:42] <hypn0> candelaresi: are chm and hlp files the same?
[10:42] <kitche> javabyte: if your /home is on a seperate partition just reinstall the system but don't touch the one that you have as your /home
[10:42] <LordLimecat> adaptr: grub was installed on another harddrive, apparently, but i want it on this harddrive.  This drive has its own /boot, and all the images ive been using
[10:42] <candelaresi> no
[10:43] <adaptr> LordLimecat yes, but it does NOT have the GRUB files - you have to re-install GRUB
[10:43] <LordLimecat> adaptr: ah--thats what im asking how to do
[10:43] <kitche> !grub | LordLimecat
[10:43] <ubotu> LordLimecat: 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
[10:43] <adaptr> LordLimecat do you have access to the old boot partition ?
[10:43] <Huffameg> kitche: i tried and it told me that I lacked a component: audio/x-scpls
[10:43] <dthacker> !anyone | cupps
[10:43] <ubotu> cupps: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:43] <ceil420> adaptr, my kernel is 2.6.20-16-generic; the closest to that i see in output from aptitude is a series of "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20" lines
[10:43] <adaptr> ceil420 yes
[10:44] <adaptr> ceil420 re-read what I said - closely this time
[10:44] <kitche> Huffameg: did you restart your browser after installing the plugins? sometiem that works
[10:44] <javabyte> adaptr + Kitche : looks like no
[10:44] <Huffameg> kitche: yes I did.
[10:44] <Murdoch> Any one any good DVD authoring software
[10:44] <neoby> how to compile kernel to make pc run faster?
[10:44] <bruenig> Murdoch, dvdstyler
[10:44] <Huffameg> kitche: but, as I said, it seems that something is missing.
[10:44] <DShepherd> bruenig, is that in the repos?
[10:45] <nixnoob> i'm thinking of switching distros anyone have any suggestions for a laptop system, something similar to ubuntu but lighter?
[10:45] <ceil420> adaptr, two of them say 'i', four say 'p'. Both of the 2.6.17 ones say 'i'
[10:45] <jrib> nixnoob: have you tried xubuntu?
[10:45] <DShepherd> nixnoob, xubuntu?
[10:45] <magnetron> neoby: the kernel is already as good and fast as it gets, by default
[10:45] <bruenig> DShepherd, not sure, it wasn't when I used it, but the site has a deb for it
[10:45] <supremesonic> nixnoob, xubuntu
[10:45] <geck1> would someone be able to help me with my clock?  I have ntp and ntpdate installed, and I have servers selected, and it's set to synchronize with internet servers...but I can't click the "synchronize now" button (it's greyed out), and it's definitely not displaying the right time, even after I've restarted. Any ideas?
[10:45] <DShepherd> bruenig, ok
[10:45] <nixnoob> jrib I like gnome.
[10:45] <neoby> nixnoob: u can try gentoo
[10:45] <ceil420> adaptr, linux-restricted-modules-generi says 'i' as well
[10:45] <supremesonic> nixnoob, the desktop is the one there take most of the power.
[10:45] <SamJay> Hi, im still kinda new to linux and I have a web server installed (apache, php, mysql etc) and I want to use crontaks/jobs/whatever to execute the code in a php file/script every 5 minutes but i can't seem to find any non overly technical info on this. How would I go about doing this step by step? Thx
[10:46] <magnetron> geck1: you can only click that button when you have set the time for "manual"
[10:46] <neoby> thanks magnetron
[10:46] <erUSUL> geck1: if you have enabled the automatical sync you can not do it manually that's why the option is disabled...
[10:46] <esculapius666> hi
[10:46] <geck1> ok, well either way...it's set to synchronize with internet servers, but its not synchronized. I have the correct time zone etc
[10:46] <SamJay> assuming of course i dont know jack about cron taks by the way....
[10:46] <nixnoob> supremesonic, do you mean in terms of battery life?
[10:46] <kitche> Huffameg: audio/x-scpls is what tells the browser what the file is and such you have to change the default player for that to helix-player
[10:46] <esculapius666> anyone knows how to mount a PCMCIA flash card?
[10:46] <LordLimecat> adaptr: want to verify--given that im installing on /dev/sda, and that that is already mounted to /media/disk-2, the command would be:
[10:46] <LordLimecat> grub-install --root-directory=/media/disk-2 /dev/sda
[10:46] <geck1> It's saying it's 12:30am, and it's 3:50 pm =P
[10:46] <erUSUL> geck1: as to why7 the computer does not sync automatically... dunno need more info
[10:46] <esculapius666> I don't know how
[10:46] <magnetron> geck1: set it to manual and hit the button!
[10:47] <tovella> ceil420: again, a simple (in the interim) fix could be to reboot, selecting your previously installed kernel.
[10:47] <neoby> but domr people compile kernel to make pc run faster..they said faster about 20%
[10:47] <Huffameg> kitche: okay..?
[10:47] <javabyte> aha - Gparted says i have two partitions media/disk1 and linux swap?
[10:47] <ceil420> tovella, you said hit 'tab' while grub is loading, right?
[10:47] <esculapius666> anyone knows how to mount a PCMCIA flash card?
[10:47] <javabyte> does that mean home is on swap?
[10:47] <rickyrich> hi all how can i remove a folder that in the recicle byn say that i cant?
[10:47] <tovella> ceil420: yes, but that was wrong.  it's Esc.
[10:47] <adaptr> LordLimecat grub-install sucks - just use grub directly
[10:47] <cupps> Why does gSopcast quit everytime I input a stream address?
[10:47] <ceil420> tovella, ok
[10:47] <magnetron> geck1: also, ntp is unable to adjust for large time differences. try setting to something more correct
[10:48] <supremesonic> nixnoob, battery time is on how much the computer have to do and how the cpu usage is. If you watch a dvd movie you have to use lot of cpu power and it use more cpu. And more battery time
[10:48] <mariocesar_bo> hi, does anyone knows how to change a screename on pidgin from the console? anyone had an idea how to do that? ^_^
[10:48] <rickyrich> hi all how can i remove a folder that in the recycle bin say that i can't?
[10:48] <adaptr> ceilyou really have to be more specific
[10:48] <kitche> javabyte: swap is swap
[10:48] <pinguim_power> hello
[10:48] <adaptr> bleh
[10:48] <adaptr> hi
[10:48] <javabyte> yeh i got that now - it's only 6gb
[10:49] <kitche> !swap | javabyte
[10:49] <ubotu> javabyte: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info
[10:49] <big_area> should sshd be running as root?
[10:49] <supremesonic> nixnoob, with a dvd you also have to use your dvd driver. That will also use lot of cpu.
[10:49] <adaptr> javabyte if your home is on swap then you've lost it - or rather, you never had it
[10:49] <magnetron> mariocesar_bo: from the console? why not from the gui?
[10:49] <adaptr> big_area yes
[10:49] <nixnoob> supremesonic, im kinda dissatisfied with the hardware detection in ubuntu, namely my wireless card (rt61) and the battery life... I dunno if theres anything I can do about that...
[10:49] <javabyte> so i need to make a dvd backup of home or something?
[10:49] <big_area> adaptr: thats not a security risk ?
[10:49] <adaptr> javabyte yes, or to a network share, or another disk
[10:49] <mariocesar_bo> magnetron: cause i want to write an script to change it, from time to time
[10:49] <javabyte> if i can get dvd to work on a live CD
[10:50] <adaptr> big_area it's rather the only way for ssh to log you in - how else would you like to do it ?
[10:50] <rickyrich> hi all how can i remove a folder that in the recicle byn say that i cant?
[10:50] <hajhouse> n~.
[10:50] <javabyte> hmm network might be easier
[10:50] <James_> does any body know of a way to install the application wgetpaste on ubuntu?
[10:50] <wackz> help
[10:50] <magnetron> mariocesar_bo: there is a text-version of pidgin, but i don't remember it's name.
[10:50] <javabyte> is there a vnc for ubuntu ?
[10:50] <mariocesar_bo> magnetron: wow, thanks i would search it
[10:50] <James_> javabyte, yes
[10:50] <supremesonic> nixnoob, When you get it to work in linux, it will hold lot better than any other os if you treat it well. However to find the right drivers can be tricky, but ubuntu is the best way to automatic find the drivers.
[10:50] <adaptr> big_area toting around "security risk" without knowing exactly what you're talking about is... well, it'll only show people that you don't know what you're talking about :)
[10:50] <James_> view or server?
[10:50] <javabyte> cool :)
[10:51] <Murdoch> thanks
[10:51] <nixnoob> supremesonic, i have the correct driver and its working....barely....
[10:51] <big_area> adaptr: well that is exactly why i'm asking... i dont know what i'm talkin about. but thanks for the info
[10:51] <neoby> got this error --> http://pastebin.com/940117
[10:51] <At0mic_PC> Is there a program like Easy CD-DA Converter for linux?
[10:51] <nixnoob> supremesonic, i have no problems manually installing drivers.
[10:51] <adaptr> big_area if you want a literal answer: yes, everything is a security risk, and the only solution is to pull the plug
[10:51] <neoby> after build-essential
[10:52] <adaptr> big_area but that's less than useful if you want to do stuff on a network...
[10:52] <supremesonic> nixnoob, I'm still pretty new to *nix systems my self, however if you got any questions on how to install drivers, or how to make them work better just ask. I guess there are many friendly people here there wanna help :)
[10:52] <el_isma> Hi. Anybody has installed nxserver 3?
[10:52] <adaptr> At0mic_PC plenty - try grip
[10:52] <big_area> adaptr: of course, i just wanted to make sure i hadn't set something up incorrectly
[10:52] <James_> Does anyone know if the Gentoo app wgetpaste can be installed on ubuntu??
[10:52] <At0mic_PC> adaptr: Will grip let me convert files to .3gp?
[10:52] <adaptr> big_area did you touch the sshd_config file ?
[10:53] <adaptr> At0mic_PC 3gp is a *video* format
[10:53] <big_area> adaptr: nope
[10:53] <adaptr> big_area then you cannot have screwed it up :)
[10:53] <javabyte> i have realvnc on my old win2k - any way to get krdc or some other linux vnc to talk to it?
[10:53] <ceil420> tovella, loaded the old kernel, and i'm back to the original problem; it shows the nvidia splash twice, then i get a waiting cursor
[10:53] <magnetron> At0mic_PC: you could use avidemux to convert video files
[10:53] <kitche> big_area: sshd actually needs to be ran as root to use port 22 anyways since port 22 is a port that only root can open
[10:53] <hypn0> James_: what is it? a wget gui?
[10:53] <adaptr> big_area you may want to do that anyway, to disable ssh v1 and root logins (basic precautions)
[10:54] <At0mic_PC> adaptr: Also audio. My phone can use the .3gp files as ringtones but not mp3. I don't see why I have to pay for mp3 ringtones. Just trying to stick it to the man. :)
[10:54] <el_isma> I'm installing nxserver 3 and it hangs... Dpkg never finishes. Last line is NX> 709 no statics... ...
[10:54] <James_> hypn0, no, it basically pipes the result of a cat out to a pastebin
[10:54] <adaptr> At0mic_PC I have no idea if there's any tool for that - google around
[10:54] <tovella> ceil420: you replaced xorg.conf, right (put yesterdays back in place)
[10:54] <ceil420> tovella, what's the difference between a normal kernel and a (recovery) one? i just loaded normal 2.6.20-15
[10:54] <ceil420> tovella, yes, i put the old one back in place
[10:54] <bruenig> ceil420, recovery puts you in single user mode
[10:54] <neoby> anyone?? --> http://pastebin.com/940117
[10:54] <big_area> adaptr: ok, is there a cl switch for doin that
[10:54] <bruenig> the kernels are the same
[10:54] <ceil420> bruenig, ah
[10:54] <kitche> ceil420: nothing the one kernel just uses init 1
[10:55] <tovella> ceil420: will get you to a limited terminal session.
[10:55] <At0mic_PC> adaptr: I know there are some, but they have to be hacked together to work and I'm no good at that. ffmpeg for example.
[10:55] <tovella> ceil420: it's used to fix filesystem & other problems, among some other things.
[10:55] <bruenig> At0mic_PC, what's that
[10:55] <ceil420> tovella, i tried with the backup xorg.conf at first, but when that didn't work, i restored it to what i had yesterday. the first time i didn't even see the nvidia splash; after loading yesterday's, i did
[10:55] <ceil420> tovella, oh, i see
[10:55] <adaptr> big_area no, that's where you would edit sshd_config
[10:56] <big_area> ah
[10:56] <At0mic_PC> magnetron: I looked it said something about being able to do mp4 which will work. I just have to rename the extention to .3gp so thanks.
[10:56] <big_area> adaptr: thanks for the advice
[10:56] <adaptr> man sshd_config, and read closely - it's quite simple
[10:56] <taji> hey, im running ubuntu 5.1, is there a way to upgrade to 7 without starting from scratch?
[10:56] <slavik> how do I configure OSS? (I need to change which sound card it uses)
[10:56] <bruenig> taji, upgrade 3 different times
[10:56] <cupps> How can I run sopcast in linux?
[10:56] <bruenig> slavik, why are you using oss
[10:57] <tovella> ceil420: ok so it looks like 1. it's NOT something in you home directory & 2. it probably is not having to do with upgrading your kernel.
[10:57] <At0mic_PC> bruenig: What's what?
[10:57] <slavik> bruenig: I am not, ET/ETF is
[10:57] <taji> i tried the update manager, but it says im out of date :/
[10:57] <xiven> Taji I just did that upgrade actually
[10:57] <magnetron> slavik: use alsa if possible
[10:57] <bruenig> At0mic_PC, nevermind
[10:57] <slavik> and with aoss, sound is choppy
[10:57] <ceil420> tovella, how do i see what nvidia driver i have installed?
[10:57] <taji> xiven, any tips?
[10:57] <hypn0> cupps: you install gsopcast I think :-/
[10:57] <tovella> ceil420: lsmod |grep nv
[10:57] <iShock> Excuse me, what is Beryl Emerald?
[10:57] <xiven> I simply went into sources.list and changed all the breezy's to fiesty's, and did apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:57] <cupps> hypn0: I did... and it closes everytime I attempt to launch an address.
[10:58] <taji> haha "simply"... ok i'll try that
[10:58] <adaptr> ceil420 lsmod | grep nvidia, and compare the size with the nvidia drivers installed in /lib/modules
[10:58] <adaptr> that'll be the one installed and loaded
[10:59] <tovella> ceil420: that will filter the results of "lsmod" to only what contains the letters "nv".
[10:59] <lux2> ...
[10:59] <iShock> Excuse me, what is Beryl Emerald?

[11:37] <cupps> How come Wine closes everytime it attempts to download Gecko?
[11:37] <foxjazz> so why does xchat crash?
[11:37] <Russian> But how can I open the location, where the files is?
[11:37] <vicox> Yodude: dunno
[11:37] <WaxyFresh> kitche: it dosent show it
[11:37] <kitche> cupps: are you sure wine closes? sicne wine just sits in the background really
[11:37] <vicox> Yodude: but its activated by default in tribe 2
[11:37] <magnetron> cupps: does it close every time it downloads gecko?
[11:37] <WaxyFresh> kitche: a whole bucnh of azx_get_response timeout
[11:37] <Russian> Jamesinator: How do I open the location, wehre the files is?
[11:37] <d4rkmonkey> How do I disable Desktop Effects from recovery mode?
[11:37] <kitche> WaxyFresh: then that drive is most likely messed up
[11:37] <cupps> magnetron: Yeah... I can't get it to download/install Gecko.
[11:37] <WaxyFresh> kitche: nah its fine,it works fine on my fiesty computer
[11:37] <cupps> kitche It takes me back to the comand line prompt, and when I open SopCast again, it retries to download Gecko.
[11:37] <kitche> WaxyFresh: or the usb ports are :)
[11:37] <Yodude> vicox: good good ! lol that app alone can switch a billion, so i guess the nvidia non-free driver will be included ... or will it bi the nouveau driver ?
[11:37] <kitche> cupps: then it probably has to deal with Gecko try turning debugging on for wine
[11:37] <WaxyFresh> kitche: does this help?: /proc/bus/usb type usbfs
[11:37] <WaxyFresh> form mount
[11:37] <BFrank> is there any info on the ubuntu website about recompiling the kernel?

[11:37] <MajorPayne> I just installed sshfs.  I created a directory under /mount and chowned it to my users user account.  I added my users account to the group fuse but when I try to mount using sshfs I get the following error: "fuse: failed to exec fusermount: Permission denied".
[11:37] <Russian> Nutubuntu, how do I save that?
[11:37] <cupps> How do I install Gecko for wine?
[11:37] <mrigns> 
[11:37] <Nutubuntu> Russian, to copy xorg.conf to make a backup of it before editing it, 'sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup' - it will ask you for a password; give it your user password. To editi xorg.conf in gedit (for instance), 'gksudo gedit xorg.conf' . (All this assumes your current directory is /etc/X11.)

[11:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about atioconfig - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:37] <ceezee> are there any other support chans I can go to?
[11:37] <Aleksej> opensource -  !!!

[11:37] <eboyjr> Does anyone how to set preferences for a screensaver, for example, "GLText"?
[11:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aticonfig - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:37] <eck> ceil420: you can make an iso fs with mkisofs and then burn the image
[11:37] <Fantastic_Bob> !hi
[11:37] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[11:37] <vimalg2> !iptables
[11:37] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[11:37] <Fantastic_Bob> !gnome
[11:37] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[11:37] <ceil420> eck, how would i use that to burn, say, ~/images and ~/documents onto a CD?
[11:37] <ceezee> !ext3
[11:37] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[11:37] <eck> ceil420: use mkisofs
[11:37] <ceil420> thanks
[11:37] <eboyjr> Does anyone how to set preferences for a screensaver, for example, on "GLText", making it say, "Whatever"?
[11:37] <rockets> eboyjr: Doesn't exist in ubuntu. But kubuntu has the advanced settings
[11:37] <zzuh> !apache
[11:37] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[11:38] <eboyjr> rockets: thats too bad... thanks anyway
[11:38] <ceezee> does anyone know how to mount an external disk?I've tried the usual, made a dir and tried getting it in there, but something is wrong.
[11:38] <rockets> eboyjr: yeah, sorry. theres a bug filed about it on launchpad but they rejected it. for some reason the devs think settings are unecessary
[11:38] <eck> ceezee: what do you mean "tried getting it in there"
[11:38] <ceezee> eck: by mounting it in that dir
[11:39] <eck> and what was the result of the mount command?
[11:39] <ceezee> eck: I think it is mounted, but I can't get it to show when I search for it.
[11:39] <eck> ceezee: you can check by just running mount
[11:39] <eck> with no parameters
[11:40] <ceezee> eck: thanks, i'll try that.
[11:40] <ceezee> eck:yes, it's there.But I can't access it?
[11:41] <eck> ceezee: what do you mean?
[11:41] <Nutubuntu> ceezee,  I think if you pastebin the output of 'mount' it might help
[11:41] <ceezee> eck:meaning it's nowhere on the desktop and doesn't show when I do a file system usage check.
[11:41] <sebas_> can I copy a file from a remote ssh host to my computer?
[11:41] <w116tjb> Oh ohs... A fgrlx driver update?
[11:41] <ceezee> Nutubuntu: ok
[11:41] <w116tjb> Anything good?
[11:41] <erUSUL> sebas_: with scp
[11:41] <kitche> sebas_: yes with scp
[11:42] <foxjazz> anyone writing games for linux?
[11:42] <rockets> foxjazz: http://gaming.gwos.org/news.php
[11:43] <sebas_> thank you
[11:43] <Oni-Dracula> hi folks, me again... got a question about mouse movement constraints... it seems that in games such as Warcraft3 or UT2k4 (run natively) the screen border in which the mouse can move...is a bit off

[11:44] <andrewkk> I just installed ubuntu server on an old 400MHz system. The installer ran fine, and even the desktop live CD booted without any problems. The server installation just finished, but when I try to boot from the hard drive, grub loads successfully, but ubuntu does nothing more than show the message "Starting up..." for a second or to and then the system reboots in an endless cycle. What could cause this? ACPI problems?
[11:44] <eck> andrewkk: yeah, i would start by disabling acpi in the grub menu
[11:44] <b0ha> anyone tryed upgrading from 6.06 to 6.10?
[11:45] <eck> andrewkk: and boot up in the debugging mode
[11:45] <b0ha> are there any risks
[11:45] <ntemis> hello
[11:45] <andrewkk> eck: i tried boot paramater "noacpi" and nothing changed.
[11:45] <ntemis> i have some problem
[11:45] <ntemis> in feisty 7
[11:45] <andrewkk> eck: how do i get to debugging mode?
[11:45] <eck> boot without the options that suppress the kernel mesages
[11:45] <w116tjb> b0ha: It's not that big of a risk, but you'll want to backup your files.
[11:45] <eck> it's one of the grub entries
[11:45] <eck> i think the second one, i believe it's called rescue mode
[11:46] <andrewkk> eck: the same thing happens with rescue mode too.
[11:46] <eck> you should be looking for the last thing that is happening before the system restarts
[11:46] <Nutubuntu> ceezee, what happens when you open /media in nautilus, for example, or in a terminal enter 'cd /media' and then 'ls' ?
[11:47] <andrewkk> eck: is there a way to make it log what it's doing, or at least print out more information than "Starting up..."?
[11:47] <heathcliffs19> hey if I am buying a dell, assuming the costs are the same, doesn't it make more sense to buy a computer with windows on it and then install ubuntu myself since ubuntu is free?, then I will have a backup copy of windows if things don't work out
[11:47] <eck> andrewkk: yeah, that's the point of running it in rescue mode
[11:47] <BFrank> is there any info on the ubuntu website about recompiling the kernel?
