[12:06] <bruenig> miguelito, what is it written in
[12:06] <miguelito> lol why do you want me to go?
[12:06] <miguelito> C++
[12:06] <gneale> ok then. how do I determine the UUID of a newly formatted drive with only one partition?
[12:07] <Jstn> On my laptop I was able to get my gnome panel to size 19, and I'm not sure how. I'd like to do the same on my desktop but the lowest it goes is 23.
[12:07] <rec0m> share the source miguelito so we can write a patch lol
[12:07] <miguelito> It's fun hacking.  That's the only reason you should want Linux.
[12:07] <ozzman> i have readonly files on my desktop which i can not remove? any one?
[12:07] <bruenig> I don't know c++ well enough to be able to get it most likely
[12:07] <miguelito> lol recon try making your own.  google is a friend
[12:07] <cerden> hem

[12:07] <miguelito> lol
[12:07] <l2s> for some reason when my ubuntu box rebooted it lost the network interface

[12:10] <InYourBase> Ominous, its kill -HUP $var1
[12:10] <l2s> Is there a command to detect the network card
[12:10] <miguelito> it's not a bad virus.  It's a simple one.  once you open it, it shuts down your computer.  then, whenever you try to turn it on, it gives you all these BS errors.  That's the most simple one I have
[12:10] <kbrooks> um.
[12:10] <InYourBase> Ominous, and if that doesn't work, try "$var1"
[12:10] <miguelito> yeah the command is rm -rf
[12:10] <l2s> The default feisty install did detect it originally
[12:10] <l2s> miguelito stop being a prick
[12:10] <Lunar_Lamp> Is there software that can be used to monitor the bandwidth usage of each of my users on my server?
[12:10] <l2s> i know what that does
[12:10] <l2s> and thats not funny
[12:10] <miguelito> how am i being a prick?
[12:10] <ozzman> InYourBass: i am getting Error moving
[12:10] <bruenig> miguelito, does it need to be run as root? how does it get around permissions and such
[12:10] <miguelito> what does it do then?
[12:10] <nuno_> stefg how do i know my CPU architecture ?
[12:11] <miguelito> It runs in windows.  It's an .exe
[12:11] <bruenig> miguelito, oh I thought you said a linux virus
[12:11] <miguelito> well i'm working on one now

[12:12] <miguelito> so what does rm -rf do?
[12:12] <nuno_> hopw do i know wicth is my CPU architecture ??
[12:12] <TaJMoX> miguelito: rm is the delete command
[12:12] <Pricey> miguelito, deletes without questioning
[12:12] <ilu> miguelita stop talking abour viruses on linux u garbage
[12:12] <rec0m> remove recursively / folders
[12:12] <harmattan> Somebody please could tell me what are the advantages of changing /etc/inittab to /etc/event.d ?
[12:12] <TaJMoX> miguelito: -r is recursive (include directories)   -f is force
[12:12] <miguelito> THAT IS NOT A VIRUS DUMMY
[12:12] <Pricey> !caps > miguelito (see the pm from ubotu)

[12:13] <aegil> !
[12:13] <Pici> nuno_: what processor do you have?
[12:13] <RkyRaccoon> is installing pidgin in feisty a pain in the ass?
[12:13] <stefg> nuno_: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[12:13] <Amaranth> nuno_: dpkg --print-architecture
[12:13] <alexIdoi1> how can I test if a cd is mounted or not ?
[12:13] <Pricey> RkyRaccoon, why do you want to?
[12:13] <Pricey> RkyRaccoon, gaim works perfectly well and there's hardly anything new in pidgin
[12:14] <tjmc> RkyRaccoon, no its easy did it last night
[12:14] <RkyRaccoon> Pricey, then i guess i dont want to
[12:14] <RkyRaccoon> tjmc, is it worth it?
[12:14] <Pricey> RkyRaccoon, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
[12:14] <RkyRaccoon> Pricey, if theres something better, why not try it out
[12:14] <tjmc> well i was expecting more features, so i guess not
[12:14] <nuno_> its a  Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
[12:14] <Orraj> hello i am i need of emergency advice about drivers
[12:15] <ozzman> should i use Beryl anyone?
[12:15] <Pici> nuno_: x86
[12:15] <stefg> ozzman: no
[12:15] <ibob63> ozzman: probably not
[12:15] <rec0m> ozzman: compiz fusion is prettymature atm
[12:15] <nielsbosworth> in firefox in ubuntu backspace no longer brings me backwards in my browser history. Is there a way to set this up?
[12:15] <nuno_> thnks
[12:15] <ozzman> ok...any alternative?
[12:15] <Pricey> nielsbosworth, go to about:config
[12:15] <Pricey> nielsbosworth, then search for backspace, and double click the field

[12:17] <nielsbosworth> stefg: thank you
[12:17] <ozzman> is compiz any good?
[12:17] <u19809> stew : I have upgraded all dependent linux-image packages but when finally configuring linux-image i get modinfo: invalid option -- F.  is that Bad ?
[12:18] <tuxix> ozzman> compiz fusion is more advanced than beryl since it's the fusion of both beryl and compiz
[12:18] <Ind[y] > The bad thing about Ubuntu is that the software you have with package manager is not always the latest releases.
[12:18] <tuxix> because beryl is just a fork of compiz
[12:18] <stefg> !latest | Ind[y] 
[12:18] <ubotu> Ind[y] : Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. 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.
[12:18] <PriceChild> tuxix, that's not true... beryl was compiz originally... doesn't make either any more advanced... now please to -effects
[12:18] <Ind[y] > Beacause it takes (sometimes a long) time for some program to get into the repos.
[12:18] <GNUtoo> hello, what's the name of the ubuntu archiver?
[12:19] <Ind[y] > stefg: hm... ok :/
[12:19] <rec0m> it's like file roller or something
[12:19] <ieee802> i've attached an external usb hdd i cannot write to it and cannot change permissions from the property tab how can i solve this?
[12:19] <GNUtoo> rec0m, thanks
[12:19] <jimqode> GNUtoo, ubuntu uses file-roller. the gnome archiver
[12:19] <ieee802> is mounted as /media/hdd
[12:19] <stefg> !info fileroller
[12:19] <ubotu> Package fileroller does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[12:19] <facugaich> Does ubuntu play matroska files or do I have to download the libraries in www.matroska.org?
[12:19] <jimqode> !info file-roller
[12:19] <Thanatos> Off topic: I've been reading about parasites in humans. I think I'll go kill myself now.
[12:19] <ubotu> file-roller: an archive manager for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 2.18.1-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 588 kB, installed size 4508 kB
[12:20] <Chousuke> facugaich: it will download needed codecs automatically
[12:20] <tuxix> PriceChild> i said that beryl is a fork of compiz
[12:20] <stefg> uhoh.... that's inconsistent naming
[12:20] <Squip> Hey Guys, Can anyone tell me.. is it VMWare Player I need to run XP?
[12:20] <facugaich> Chousuke: When?
[12:20] <bizinichi> sup?
[12:20] <Chousuke> facugaich: when you try to play the file
[12:20] <facugaich> Chousuke: Ok
[12:20] <GNUtoo> ubotu, ok but in 6.06 it was file-roller?
[12:20] <jimqode> what software can I use to record video from my webcam with sync audio from my sound card?
[12:20] <tuxix> and now that both a reunified compiz is more advanced than beryl that's a fact since compiz got the same feature plus some new ones
[12:20] <Evanidus> squip you need vmware server if you want to set up your own vmware instance of it
[12:20] <Orraj> i am clueless on driver installation why isn't there software to install it .... what should I do.
[12:21] <Squip> ok thanks
[12:21] <ieee802> !info chmod
[12:21] <ubotu> Package chmod does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[12:21] <fuzzypig> Squip: Use virtualbox instead.
[12:21] <Squip> virtualbox easy to use and setup?
[12:21] <jimqode> Squip, very easy
[12:21] <fuzzypig> squip very easy to use
[12:21] <tuxix> Squip> yeah
[12:21] <Squip> ok thanks
[12:21] <rec0m> Orraj, what driver do you need to setup?
[12:22] <rec0m> reason for no one-click driver setup is because most drivers are built into the kernel
[12:22] <tuxix> Orraj> linux is different from windows since generic drivers are provided by linux so linux can support many hardware
[12:23] <gneale> ubotu: do I have to reboot after updating fstab with the new found UUID?
[12:23] <Squip> sorry to sound noobish.. but how do i get virtualbox?
[12:23] <PriceChild> gneale, sudo mount -a

[12:30] <Typwn> Is there a way to remove deb packets?
[12:30] <unagi> lol
[12:30] <Tlink> justi1 : definately use the installer so it updates your user.reg files and whatnot
[12:30] <Typwn> Like...reverse install?
[12:30] <Jordan_U> Typwn, With apt or dpkg
[12:30] <PriceChild> Typwn, sudo apt-get remove packagename
[12:30] <Justi1> okay. Also, how do I add WINE apps to my Applications menu?
[12:30] <Typwn> PriceChild:Thanks =D
[12:30] <nuno_> jimqode so what should I use now?
[12:31] <Jordan_U> Justi1, I think they get added automagically
[12:31] <tjmc> thanks InYourBase
[12:31] <jimqode> nuno_, linux-generic. It comes default with your distro.
[12:31] <IndyGunFreak> Justi1: i think Jordan_U is right, all the apps iv'e instaleld with Wine, always end up there automagically
[12:31] <Justi1> jordan_u Indyguyfreak: some of the ones I have installed haven't added or correctly added shortcuts to the menu
[12:32] <Tlink> Justi1, if they don't get added auotmagically, you can make a launcher script,... not on my ubuntu box atm, but you might try googling it
[12:32] <nuno_> then why cant I use something like 1024 resolution?? the icons have the size of houses! lol

[12:32] <IndyGunFreak> Justi1: well, Wine isn't ever 100%
[12:32] <nuno_> jimqode xorg wont let me use high resolutions I used in windows
[12:32] <Justi1> indygunfreak: do you recommend any other windows emulators?
[12:32] <Jordan_U> nuno_, What GPU do you have?
[12:32] <jimqode> nuno_, resolution in X is not in anyway related to the kernel you use.
[12:33] <Typwn> I'm getting an error when using Apt-Get Remove. E: The package awcommon needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[12:33] <IndyGunFreak> Justi1: unless you want to pay, no.
[12:33] <nuno_> Jordan_U that think led me to linux-686 package withc, u have told me, is obsolete...

[12:34] <whonicca> what is a good easy to read font for linux? =\
[12:34] <cmo-0> is there any graphical font installer for ubuntu, or should i mock /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:34] <cmo-0> ?
[12:34] <nuno_> jimqode then how do I fix this??
[12:34] <Jordan_U> nuno_, Nowhere in that link does it talk about linux-686

[12:35] <TaJMoX> unagi: what is the error that shows when you type that?
[12:35] <jimqode> nuno_, that is your CPU. not your GPU.
[12:35] <JayRoe> I just updated feisty and now I can't do "make menuconfig" anymore. Can someone tell me what I need?
[12:35] <unagi> no error.....the screen blanks and takes me to the initializing screen and sits there
[12:35] <nuno_> jimqode with a Radeon x800
[12:35] <TaJMoX> nuno_: lspci |grep VGA
[12:35] <jimqode> nuno_, you have an ATI then
[12:36] <pyrohotdog> Can someone tell me why ifconfig now reports eth0:avah with 169.254.11.25 IP instead of a 192.168.0.x like the rest of the network?
[12:36] <TaJMoX> nuno_: X800 needs fglrx
[12:36] <Jordan_U> nuno_, Just like in windows you need to install the drivers for your card, in Ubuntu they are in System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[12:36] <nuno_> 0000:05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 554f
[12:36] <jimqode> nuno_, what Jordan_U told
[12:36] <__mikem> stefg, thats not what I asked. I got a devoted machine for ubuntu, and would like to remove the ubuntu partition from my laptop and resize the windows partition and remove grub
[12:36] <TaJMoX> Jordan_U: for a lot of ati mobility cards - restricted driver manager makes X not start
[12:37] <TaJMoX> I have an ATI Mobility x1300
[12:37] <unagi> TaJMoX: it takes me to the initializing screen and sits there
[12:37] <jimqode> what is a good software for recording video from webcam?
[12:37] <Justi1> indygunfreak: one of the auto-added ones has the shortcut set to

[12:37] <Justi1> Do I need the 'env WINEPREFIX' etc. ?
[12:37] <AnObfuscator> Hi, my ubuntu sound preference is givinv me "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Could not open resource for writing.", what does that mean?
[12:37] <stefg> __mikem: ##windows
[12:37] <__mikem> okay, I will ask someone else then
[12:37] <IndyGunFreak> Justi1: no, just put the "wine C:/etc" in the command
[12:37] <Jordan_U> TaJMoX, You should file a bug with restricted manager, it shouldn't be hard for them to simply disable it on those cards as an interum fix
[12:37] <unagi> can anyone tell me why sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart doesnt work for me
[12:37] <Ghaz> like in vista, is there any way to display RSS feeds on the desktop?
[12:38] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, probably your user is not in the audio group
[12:38] <Jordan_U> __mikem, Just resize the partition and rewrite the windows mbr
[12:38] <Justi1> indygunfreak: so I don't need /home/justin/.wine/drive_c/?
[12:38] <__mikem> Jordan_U, how do I do that?
[12:38] <IndyGunFreak> Justi1: well, you need the path to the file.
[12:38] <TaJMoX> __mikem: to remove the ubuntu partition - go into windows and run fixmbr and fixboot and then go into the disk manager and delete thge partition - for more help join ##windows
[12:38] <IndyGunFreak> but you shouldn't need home/justine/winedrive, etc.
[12:39] <Jordan_U> __mikem, Gparted LiveCD
[12:39] <Justi1> indygunfreak: okay
[12:39] <IndyGunFreak> Justi1: for instance, my link to my poker client, is "wine C:/Programfiles/Pokerstars/Pokerstars.exe".. if that helps

[12:40] <IndyGunFreak> Borzo: ?
[12:40] <Typwn> How do I remove awcommon? I keep getting this error

[12:41] <Dusk_> where are the .desktop files of programs on applications menu???
[12:41] <unagi> can anyone try and help me figure out why sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart doesnt work for me
[12:42] <stefg> Polygon89: ubuntu might be a bit sluggish, give xubuntu a try?
[12:42] <Jkessler> is there a website where i can get a list of packages that can be downloaded and installed by "sudo apt-get install"
[12:42] <sivart0> does the ubuntu server come with php 4 AND 5 or just 5?
[12:42] <Jordan_U> !doesn't work | unagi
[12:42] <TaJMoX> Dusk_: in terminal type find |grep .desktop
[12:42] <ubotu> unagi: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[12:42] <Polygon89> stefg, yeah im thinking xubuntu as well
[12:42] <infamouskid> tajmox thanks
[12:42] <unagi> can anyone try and help me figure out why sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart takes me to the initializing screen and sits there?

[12:53] <flake> ok, is there a way to easily switch on and off the services, guess I could set up a shell job
[12:53] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, yeah
[12:54] <Enron> stefg
[12:54] <Dusk_> TaJMoX, there's no png file of this icon..or i couldn't find..is it possible? an icon with no png file? or is it in some directory that i couldn't find?
[12:54] <Jordan_U> eifzon, If you only use OSS and or know what you are doing. Sort of :)
[12:54] <badkitty> muahaha Im baaack
[12:54] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, I pulled out my new soundcard, so it's not even in the system, and it shows up fine under aplay -l
[12:54] <infamouskid> does anyone know how to get beryl to start in its default setup i accidently clicked xgl in the manager instead of nvidia. now when i load beryl my desktop freezes.
[12:54] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: you can delete the config files - rm -rf ~/.beryl*
[12:54] <Jordan_U> eifzon, If not then the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages
[12:55] <Ominous> how can you look up what folder you are in, change to another pre defined one, run a few files and change back to origional at end in a .sh file ( i know how do to the run files part)
[12:55] <TaJMoX> Dusk_ find the icon file that you want to set it to
[12:55] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, are there any other devices detected? you can see from the volume control/file/change device
[12:55] <unagi> this is rather annoying
[12:55] <infamouskid> Tajmox : do i type that in terminal?? sorry for all questions.. day 2 in linux.
[12:55] <Dusk_> TaJMoX, ok i found...thanks
[12:55] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: yes in terminal
[12:55] <unagi> ctrl + alt + backspace will do it but the command wont....that makes no sense
[12:55] <badkitty> stefg: I'm back, I am running feisty now
[12:55] <infamouskid> tajmox :  ok so i type "- rm -rf ~/.beryl*"
[12:55] <randy> could someone please tell me why im getting this error "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
[12:55] <randy> " while im trying to install xchat
[12:55] <badkitty> stefg: first task, updates, then xchat, then beryl
[12:56] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, yeah, it sees a realtek one,
[12:56] <badkitty> randy well... you probably need that file to run xchat???
[12:56] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, which is the card that you want to use?
[12:56] <Jordan_U> unagi, One kills X and gdm restarts it, the other restarts gdm, so they are not entirely the same though they should do the same thing
[12:56] <Justi1> How do I install a .deb
[12:56] <stefg> badkitty: wrong :-) first get a decant sources.list at !easysource
[12:56] <Jordan_U> Justi1, Double click it
[12:56] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, it's mono only, so I'm guessing that's the motherboard speaker. the nvidia one.
[12:56] <randy> badkitty yeah but i cant seem to find it to download
[12:56] <TaJMoX> infamous just rm -rf ~/.beryl*
[12:56] <pyrohotdog> Justi1: dpkg -i
[12:57] <unagi> then what command restarts X

[12:58] <Pirate_Hunter> if i wanted to find out the name/manufacturer/etc of my hardware components i.e. graphics card or video card how can i do it in feisty?
[12:58] <flake> seaveas is a slow repo
[12:58] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, go to System/Preferences/Sound. choose Nvidia from the sound playback dropdowns (all 3 of them) then test them with the play button
[12:58] <Jordan_U> Justi1, Yes
[12:58] <pyrohotdog> optimus55: I may have misunderstood, I just saw something about restarting X....
[12:58] <PriceChild> flake, use its mirrors

[12:59] <jimqode> leave them at nvidia setting
[12:59] <pike_> Pirate_Hunter: lspci -v | grep -i vga or sudo lshw  are two ways
[12:59] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, leave them at nvidia. Close that window. at volume control window do you have a switched tab?
[12:59] <skulrid> well just fixed that by dragging the pic to desktop, but is it not saving the images??
[12:59] <Jordan_U> unagi, Does killall X work?
[12:59] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, switches i mean
[12:59] <Justi1> When I start an application, the process shows up in system monitor, but the application doesn't open.
[01:00] <unagi> unagi@unagi-laptop:~$ sudo killall X
[01:00] <unagi> X: no process killed
[01:00] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, they're on the nvidia. Yeah, it switched back to nvidia in the volume control window
[01:00] <Pirate_Hunter> pike_: will try
[01:00] <TaJMoX> unagi: what's DX
[01:00] <Enron> stefg did I download the wrong kernel source if I have 2.6.15.23-server and I downloaded 2.6.15
[01:00] <optimus55> i have a ques. i'm new to linux. can anyone tell me what sudo is? and whats the difference between sudo and GKsudo?
[01:00] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, Is there a tab called Switches?
[01:00] <Dusk_> PriceChild, thanks..
[01:00] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, no
[01:00] <unagi> X
[01:00] <unagi> TaJMoX: to restart X
[01:00] <infamouskid> tajmox : that is the part i am lost at. i dont know what to type or delete?
[01:00] <pike_> optimus55: sudo is for terminal gksu is for gui apps basically
[01:00] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, just playback
[01:00] <badkitty> stefg: so do I just save this over my sources.list, or is it better to add to it?
[01:00] <Justi1> When I start an application, the process shows up in system monitor, but the application doesn't open. Why is this?
[01:00] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, go to edit/preferences
[01:00] <stefg> Enron: no... the .23 just indicates the build
[01:00] <unagi> Jordan_U:  when i do killall X it tells me no process killed
[01:01] <optimus55> pike_: what exactly does that mean? sry, new here
[01:01] <TaJMoX> unagi: restart X is ctrl-alt-backspace.... if you want to STOP x its sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop    then logout
[01:01] <Enron> so then why is it giving me errors :(
[01:01] <unagi> TaJMoX: im looking for a command to restart X
[01:01] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, ok. selecting tracks to be visible?
[01:01] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, enable any shady looking channel. Especially anything with "3D" in it if you have.
[01:01] <ztomic> anyone having trouble hearing sound using Jackd
[01:01] <ztomic> ?
[01:01] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: open a terminal.   type this:   rm -rf ~/.beryl*
[01:01] <stefg> badkitty: full replace, not add You might end up with apt-errors if you have too many repos in your sources.list
[01:02] <pike_> optimus55: occationally using sudo for a gui app like gedit can mess up permissions. its easy to fix so i never really use gksu but to avoid breakage gksu is recommmended. so if you wanted to open nano a command line text editor youd sudo nano  but for gedit youd gksu gedit
[01:02] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, play with the mixer settings. many times its just a misconfigured mixer.
[01:02] <TaJMoX> unagi - you're looking for the same command that ctrl-alt-backspace does?
[01:02] <anto9us> ztomic: only if something has taken control of alsa such as firefox
[01:02] <infamouskid> tajmox : trying now.. also is there like a page i can look at to learn basic terminal commands?
[01:02] <Justi1> When I start an application [armagetron advanced] , the process shows up in system monitor, but the application doesn't open. Why is this?
[01:02] <badkitty> stefg: if I already did a apt-getupgrade, is that a big deal?
[01:02] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, if that does not work i'm out of ideas.

[01:02] <TaJMoX> unagi - it should be the gdm restart thing... dunno why it's not working - you haven't told us what error it provides
[01:02] <ztomic> anto9us: ~~^
[01:02] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, no luck :( Thanks for trying to help
[01:02] <infamouskid> tajmox : ok i put in the command i got no delete verification. juss empty command line.
[01:02] <PriceChild> Thanatos, gpu, #ubuntu-effects please
[01:02] <unagi> TaJMoX: because it doesnt provide an error.....i told you what happens
[01:02] <anto9us> ztomic: is firefox open?
[01:03] <ztomic> nope
[01:03] <unagi> over and over and over again
[01:03] <pike_> cyphase: developer sold out. we're going to sneak over to his home. tar and feather him later
[01:03] <pyrohotdog> Anyone know how I can make my system get a REAL ip address from the DHCP? I don't even know where eth0:avah came from...
[01:03] <optimus55> okay thanks, i think i have some kind of idea
[01:03] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: no error = everything went ok
[01:03] <jimqode> AnObfuscator, sorry :( np.
[01:03] <Thanatos> PriceChild: Thanks, and sorry for the wrong channel
[01:03] <optimus55> i guess my problem was with permissions more than anything else then
[01:03] <stefg> badkitty: no, the standard repos will just be the same. it's the extra repos for libdvdcss2, w32codecs and maybe wine that make the difference
[01:03] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: beryl was closed while you did this yes?
[01:03] <Jordan_U> unagi, If you run it in a virtual terminal does it give any output?
[01:03] <anto9us> ztomic: run patchage and check the outputs to the pcm device
[01:03] <infamouskid> yes beryl is closed
[01:03] <unagi> what is a virtual terminal Jordan_U
[01:03] <infamouskid> tajmox : yes beryl was closed
[01:03] <AnObfuscator> jimqode, I'll just watch anime in windows. I'm not too worried about it, I'm building a new computer next week, anyway, so I'll worry about getting my soundcard working then.
[01:03] <hachi> okay, despite what is in the topic line... is there normally a place on the official ubuntu site that will tell me package versions, similar to www.debian.org/distrib/packages ?
[01:04] <TaJMoX> unagi: you told me once - you haven't told the channel.   you said it just sits and doesn't do anything right?
[01:04] <cyphase> PriceChild: is "Novell bought Gnome" offtopic as well?
[01:04] <hachi> hypothetically speaking, even if it is down right now
[01:04] <PriceChild> cyphase, yes.
[01:04] <pike_> hachi: packages.ubuntu.com
[01:04] <unagi> at the initializing screen yes TaJMoX
[01:04] <hachi> pike_: thanks
[01:04] <Jordan_U> unagi, A terminal that does not require X to be running, ctrl+alt+F1 to get to one F7 to get back
[01:04] <ztomic> anto9us: Patchage looks like it's correct. all the links are there.
[01:04] <infamouskid> tajmox : should i try to start beryl now? or reboot into xscript or gnome then try?
[01:05] <Jordan_U> unagi, What happens when you do stop then start instead of restart?
[01:05] <joshritger> can someone tell me how to get something that needs root privledges to start on startup, ie firestarter
[01:05] <unagi> stop then start, restart gdm, restart X, all does the same thing
[01:05] <anto9us> ztomic: I find sometimes have to do; sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[01:06] <Jordan_U> unagi, To be clear, when you ran stop then start you started from a virtual terminal correct?
[01:06] <unagi> right
[01:06] <unagi> when the script runs i  have to use the virtual terminal to restart gdm Jordan_U
[01:06] <anto9us> ztomic: also do; killall esd
[01:06] <pike_> joshritger: firestarter is run at bootup i think. there is a firestarter in /etc/init.d/ anyway. it only really sets your iptables rules so you can sudo iptables -L to make sure they are present. if they arent all youll get is like inbound outbound forward all set to ACCEPT. if they are youll get a ton of stuff
[01:06] <Enron> Can someone help I got an error when trying to build http://phpfi.com/249372
[01:07] <Jordan_U> unagi, What output do you get if you just run: "sudo gdm" after stop ?
[01:07] <infamouskid> tajmox : i am gonna reboot into xscript and come back
[01:07] <hachi> gutsy is... the next release?
[01:07] <ztomic> anto9us: esd isn't running... lemme try the other thing...
[01:07] <badkitty> BRB
[01:07] <unagi> in the script?
[01:07] <joshritger> pike_: I only get 3 entries when I type that in.
[01:08] <Award> Does anyone know if a drive is marked as "an error occurred" and the array is "degraded" on an Intel ICH9 RAID controller if it means the dirive DEFINITELY failed, or if there could be something driver related causing it and a rebuild would fix it?
[01:08] <Jordan_U> unagi, run sudo /etc/init.d stop then from the virtual terminal run sudo gdm
[01:08] <Jordan_U> unagi, /etc/init.d/gdm that is
[01:08] <unagi> id assume it would start gfm....
[01:08] <pike_> joshritger: just the 3 (policy ACCEPT) entries? thats odd
[01:08] <unagi> i dont understand why im having to type anything in after the restart
[01:08] <ozzman> Hello, i want to learn how to install compiz, what is my first step?
[01:08] <Jordan_U> unagi, And if there are any errors you will see them in the terminal.
[01:08] <pike_> joshritger: ill be gone for a few min
[01:09] <joshritger> pike_: yes, I do not have firestarter running rightnow, I am trying to figure out how to get it to run on startup
[01:09] <ztomic> anto9us: this is not good. I think it may be something muted on my soundcard but I can't find anything; Ive unmuted everything.
[01:09] <Dpa> Hi. I'm trying to install ubuntu on virtual PC 2007, but when I'm about to install the operating system it just asks for the driver cd. I hit enter, but then I'm asked to put in the installation-cd over again. Can anyone help me?
[01:09] <unagi> there were no errors
[01:09] <Jordan_U> ozzman, If you have anything but an ati card then just System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects
[01:09] <anto9us> joshritger: it automatically installs as a service and starts on bootup, you have to run the gui manually though
[01:09] <Jordan_U> unagi, And it didn't start correctly?
[01:09] <unagi> its not a matter of gdm not starting
[01:10] <joshritger> HMM, It isn't running on startup as far as I can tell
[01:10] <unagi> its a matter of having to manually start gdm after stopping it
[01:10] <unagi> i shouldnt have to do that
[01:10] <anto9us> ztomic: you may find the folks in #ubuntustudio know more about this stuff
[01:10] <stefg> Enron: you might be missing autoconf , and you might not be in the right dir when trying to build the module. you have obviously no symlink from /usr/src/linux-2.6.15 to /usr/src/linux. and i think acronis should do the support for that
[01:10] <TaJMoX> unagi you still havent told us what output you get... and that's all we keep asking for
[01:10] <unagi> even if i do stop then start.........it doesnt start unless i type it in the virtual console
[01:10] <unagi> TaJMoX:
[01:10] <Jordan_U> unagi, But that does work ( for debugging not practical purposes ) ?
[01:10] <unagi> TaJMoX:  tell me where i can get this oputput
[01:10] <slimil> .
[01:10] <ztomic> anto9us: thanx!
[01:10] <unagi> TaJMoX: what output do you want....i told you what happens
[01:10] <TaJMoX> unagi: in the terminal - right after you type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[01:11] <TaJMoX> unagi: then what do you see???
[01:11] <unagi> once again
[01:11] <unagi> for the tenth time
[01:11] <TaJMoX> nope
[01:11] <unagi> it takes me to the virtual console
[01:11] <unagi> and sits there
[01:11] <TaJMoX> i havent heard that
[01:11] <Jordan_U> unagi, But that does work ( for debugging not practical purposes ) ?
[01:11] <TaJMoX> you said something about initialization which donesnt make sense
[01:11] <ozzman> Jordan_U: i'm getting " Composite extension is not available"
[01:11] <TaJMoX> unagi:  it immediately takes you back to the $ prompt?
[01:11] <joshritger> anto9us: I checked and there is nothing related to firestarter running on startup.
[01:11] <unagi> you know the screen where it starts initializing different things and on the right of each line it says [ok] ?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> unagi, Then it may be that the script stops when the terminal that spawned it stops ( along with X )
[01:12] <unagi> itll do it when i manually type restart Jordan_U
[01:12] <unagi> the only time it doesnt stall at the prompt is when i do the keystroke
[01:12] <Jordan_U> unagi, Try running it from screen or from a virtual terminal ( go to a terminal before stopping X and run the restart command )
[01:13] <unagi> which command
[01:13] <anto9us> joshritger: no, it's embedded in the kernel and firestarter is just a configuration tool
[01:13] <optimus55> QUESTION: is it possible to get to root terminal from inside ubuntu 7.04 live cd?
[01:13] <unagi> init.d/gdm?
[01:13] <unagi> or the other one
[01:13] <unagi> !X
[01:13] <kritical> I'm testing a transparent proxy on my ubuntu machine... can anyone tell me how to setup iptables to forward all tcp requests on port 80 to a different IP:Port?
[01:13] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

[01:16] <Warbo> I can't work out how to use the find command, and the manual is a bit cryptic. Can I use it to output any paths that exist to files called 'foo.png' and nothing else?
[01:16] <facugaich> optimus55: sudo -s
[01:16] <KI4IKL> I have a NVIDIA GeForce 6150...My mouse randomly locks up and the only way to get it to move again is to reboot.
[01:16] <KI4IKL> Anyone have any ideas?
[01:16] <IndyLucian> if i just want to download a package, what apt-get command would i use? the man page said i would use -d but it didn't tell me which command to use (i.e. apt-get install, apt-get download, etc)
[01:16] <infamouskid> tajmox : how do i get my top and bottom panels back?
[01:16] <TaJMoX> Ki4ikl - have you tried using the nv driver?
[01:16] <Jordan_U> ozzman, You can run Compiz but you need to install XGL ( which is a hack only needed for ati cards because ATI makes horrible linux drivers )
[01:17] <mariocesar_bo> KI4IKL: your nvidia card has turbocache?
[01:17] <optimus55> facugaich: thanks a lot!
[01:17] <Warbo> IndyLucian: sudo apt-get -d install packagename
[01:17] <KI4IKL> It does it on the NV driver
[01:17] <KI4IKL> it's me dummy
[01:17] <pike_> KI4IKL: grep -i xid /var/log/messages  or maybe dmesg | grep -i xid  do you get any lines?
[01:17] <TaJMoX> infamouskid - they disapeared when you ran beryl??
[01:17] <unagi_> TaJMoX:  you dont have to patronize my situation
[01:17] <KI4IKL> I don't know if it does
[01:17] <KI4IKL> pike_, do that when it freezees or now?
[01:17] <mariocesar_bo> KI4IKL: i had an nvidia with turbocache, that has the same problem
[01:17] <IndyLucian> Warbo, thanks. . . now how can i specify a location to download? "use > location/name" at the end?
[01:17] <ozzman> Jordan_U: Recommended?
[01:17] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, thanks that worked well
[01:17] <TaJMoX> unagi_ then dont get upset at us for trying to help you
[01:17] <joshritger> anto9us: that command does nothing as far as I can tell
[01:17] <infamouskid> tajmox :  well the top panel that one that says applications places systems is there. but the bottom one that displays my running programs and multi desktop manager is missing
[01:17] <pike_> KI4IKL: ive had a terrible time with the newer nvidia drivers. using nv right now. whenever you can get to a terminal
[01:18] <stefg> !apt
[01:18] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[01:18] <Jordan_U> AnRkey, Wall screen or both?
[01:18] <ilu> slimil
[01:18] <Warbo> IndyLucian: I don't think you can. The packages all get downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives
[01:18] <unagi_> im not upset at anyone TaJMoX......im annoyed that you dont read the lines given to you
[01:18] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, the wall bit
[01:18] <pike_> KI4IKL: see if they are there then test and see if you have the problem with nv
[01:18] <TaJMoX> infamous - you can make a new panel ... maybe it got deleted?
[01:18] <mariocesar_bo> KI4IKL: on the bios you can check, if there is sharing ram.
[01:18] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, how would the screen thing work?
[01:18] <KI4IKL> yeah, didn't get any lines, pike_
[01:18] <TaJMoX> unagi_:  you pay me and i'll read faster
[01:18] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, echo msg or what?
[01:18] <Jordan_U> ozzman, I personally don't use Compiz because it would require me to use XGL, but many people do
[01:18] <anto9us> joshritger: should show a lot of packet activity, maybe your device isn't eth0, type ifconfig to see your network devices
[01:18] <KI4IKL> mariocesar_bo, how did you fix the problem?
[01:19] <mariocesar_bo> KI4IKL: i fix it, down the to 16MB the video ram
[01:19] <unagi_> or you could just not respond to anything i say TaJMoX since you have nothing constructive to say anyway
[01:19] <joshritger> it is eth0 though I checked
[01:19] <LDZ420> what do I need to do to make a cron job work?
[01:19] <KI4IKL> down the what?
[01:19] <Jordan_U> AnRkey, No, you would just both be at the same Bash shell
[01:19] <LDZ420> cron!
[01:19] <mariocesar_bo> KI4IKL: i don't "fix it", just it's less usual to freeze
[01:19] <Jordan_U> AnRkey, run "screen" then have him run "screen -x"
[01:19] <LDZ420> sorry chat
[01:19] <infamouskid> tajmox : no its there i can click and drag the icons of programs that are running up its like it went off screen?
[01:19] <joshritger> anto9us: it is eth0 I checked
[01:19] <unagi_> Jordan_U: is there any reason why the keystroke would work but the command wouldnt
[01:20] <LDZ420> !cron
[01:20] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[01:20] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, would using echo work for sending a msg?
[01:20] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, in a screen that is
[01:20] <rubsty> Does anyone know of any good bluetooth device scanners out there that I can install via apt-get ?
[01:20] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, this is cool, gotta try it
[01:20] <Jordan_U> AnRkey, In screen you wouldn't need to use echo, just try it, it will make sense when you do
[01:20] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, it would solve some problems that i am having with techs not being able to colab
[01:20] <Warbo> can someone please give me a find command line which will give any paths to a specified filename? I can't work out how to use it
[01:21] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, thanks very very much! :D
[01:21] <Jordan_U> AnRkey, np :)
[01:21] <ozzman> Jordan_U: I see...what would be the greatest benefit of using compiz?
[01:21] <AnRkey> Jordan_U, i love this #
[01:21] <RGautier> find / -name (filename) -print
[01:21] <russe11> screen question - if I'm running a screen session in SSH and I go to a different computer and want to connect to the same screen session, how can I? Do I have to disconnect the first one somehow? How?
[01:21] <pike_> Warbo: find <startdir> -name *.txt   to find from / youd do sudo find / -name *.txt
[01:21] <FuM> How do I get win to run on Ubuntu?
[01:21] <anto9us> joshritger: that command should show something next time it sees traffic
[01:21] <joshritger> ok
[01:22] <Warbo> RGautier, pike_: Thank you :)
[01:22] <khamer> on
[01:22] <TaJMoX> mariocesar_bo: how did you fix it ?
[01:22] <infamouskid> tajmox : lol if i go to the lower left corner off screen i have a baloon that says click here to hide all windows from the desktop.. lol u know which panel i am talkin abour now?
[01:22] <Jordan_U> ozzman, There are some productivity features like an expose like effect but it's mostly useless eye candy
[01:22] <joshritger> anto9us: is irc enough traffic?
[01:22] <TaJMoX> mariocesar_bo:  the mouse problem
[01:22] <anto9us> joshritger: I'll try and ssh to you and see if it shows
[01:22] <mariocesar_bo> Mario Csar: KI4IKL: i fix it, down the to 16MB the video ram
[01:22] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: maybe try killall gnome-panel      or editing the panel?
[01:22] <Justi1> How can I make Armagetron Advanced startup in ubuntu? I installed it and ran armagetronad, but nothing loads.
[01:22] <mariocesar_bo> down the ram on the bios
[01:23] <Jordan_U> unagi, I believe that /etc/init.d/gdm start is run at boot so I have no idea why it wouldn't work if it works at boot
[01:23] <infamouskid> tajmox : i think linux is displaying a resolution not supported by my monitor how can i change this?
[01:23] <TaJMoX> mariocesar_bo: lower the video ram ?
[01:23] <codecaine> is there a program to convert video files to .smv files?
[01:23] <anto9us> joshritger: good news, it's not letting me in :)

[01:23] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: do you know your monitor's horizontal sync and vertical refresh rates?
[01:24] <Warbo> perfect thanks
[01:24] <TaJMoX> mariocesar_bo: lower the video ram by 16MB ?
[01:24] <joshritger> anto9us: that is good, I just don't understand why it seems like it isn't there
[01:24] <infamouskid> tajmox : well in windows i used 1280 x 768 and the refresh was 75hz
[01:24] <Justi1> How can I make Armagetron Advanced startup in ubuntu? I installed it and ran armagetronad, but nothing loads.
[01:24] <mariocesar_bo> TaJMoX: yes, there is a problem with the turbocache, it shares memorie of the video card with the ram of the motherboard
[01:25] <mariocesar_bo> Holy Jesus !!!
[01:25] <anto9us> joshritger: I suspect it is, firestarter will configure iptables for you which is built into the kernel
[01:25] <mariocesar_bo> i erase the xorg.conf !
[01:25] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: ok so check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure the refresh is set to 75hz    and also check the mode lines to see if you have 1280x768

[01:25] <mariocesar_bo> man ! help ! how can i get it back ... i delete him with rm :S:S:S
[01:25] <anto9us> joshritger: yes, a router has a built in firewall
[01:25] <TaJMoX> mariocesar_bo: you don't have a backup ?

[01:26] <joshritger> anto9us: I am on a wireless router with firewall, but that might be why you couldn't get to me, I am still not sure if firestarter is working though
[01:26] <joshritger> LOL
[01:26] <mariocesar_bo> nooo, i don't have it ... i want to erase the backups files :S and erase by mistake all the files :'(

[01:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hot-babe - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:26] <badkitty> what is hot-babe?
[01:26] <mariocesar_bo> i had a lot ! of configuration on that file !
[01:26] <anto9us> joshritger: my best guess is that it's working so you're doubly protected
[01:27] <Jordan_U> mariocesar_bo, The command I gave will recreate the file, without your customization though :(
[01:27] <mariocesar_bo> it happend a second ago, can i recover it ? :(
[01:27] <TaJMoX> mariocesar_bo: you should sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[01:27] <joshritger> anto9us: ok, I just wanted to make sure it was working before I switch routers because the new one might not have a firewall as it is from our service provider and not somethign I purchased
[01:27] <anto9us> joshritger: also of note is that ubuntu doesn't run any open network services by default
[01:27] <Jordan_U> mariocesar_bo, If the file is still actually being read by X then yes, but I doubt that it is and it would be hard to recover anyways
[01:27] <mariocesar_bo> mmm,  but, but ... the desktop it's still running ... it has to be a way to recover the settings, no?
[01:28] <joshritger> anto9us: ok, that is good to know. I know it is more secure than windows, but I wasn't sure what I need to do for more protection
[01:28] <Jordan_U> mariocesar_bo, What sort of customization did you have?
[01:28] <mariocesar_bo> Jordan_U: yes ! it still being read it.
[01:28] <joshritger> anto9us: Thanks for the help
[01:29] <mariocesar_bo> for my nvidia card, all the modelines, and the configuration of my monitor
[01:29] <Jordan_U> mariocesar_bo, Are you sure of that, just because X is still running doesn't mean that it still has the file open
[01:29] <Vietnow> I'm having a problem installing ubuntu ff, can anyone assist me with this??
[01:29] <kristofer> word
[01:29] <mariocesar_bo> Jordan_U: i am using the X, right now, it happend a two seconds ago

[01:31] <kristofer> I've got a dell latitude d610. I'm trying to use 915resolution to get the native 1400x1050 resolution.  Any tips?
[01:31] <adrian> HELP!! i can't seem to make any of my archive managers to extract rar files, god, i must be incompetent!
[01:31] <unagi_> what is the actual comand issued when you press ctrl + alt + backspace
[01:31] <luisin> thx, stefg.
[01:31] <mariocesar_bo> there is a file on the X11 directory, .xorg.conf.swp
[01:31] <anto9us> adrian: sudo apt-get install unrar-free
[01:31] <robby> unagi_:  restarts xserver
[01:32] <unagi_> i know what it does im asking for the command that is issued
[01:32] <mariocesar_bo> but it's illegible
[01:32] <infamouskid_> tajmox : WBWBHAHAHA nevermind bud i fixed it
[01:32] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: you can go into gconf-editor and in Apps->Panel->Toplevels->Panel_1 change the y to something like -40 or 40  to see where it goes  ...?
[01:32] <timewriter> hi
[01:32] <lns> Does anyone know a ballpark estimate as to when the 2.6.22 kernel will hit Feisty?
[01:32] <timewriter> how do i install a startup manager on feisty ?
[01:32] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: or various options like "orientation"
[01:32] <Jordan_U> lns, Never

[01:32] <lns> Jordan_U, well that answers my question. ;)
[01:32] <infamouskid_> tajmox : all i did was change the resolution to the one i listed and bam i was able to dock properly
[01:32] <stefg> lns: never, 2.622 will be in !gutsy
[01:33] <Jordan_U> adrian, Close synaptic
[01:33] <timewriter> adrian, there is another pat process running
[01:33] <timewriter> apt* i mean
[01:33] <adrian> ok
[01:33] <lns> So how about a ballpark estimate as to when Gutsy will be declared stable?
[01:33] <kristofer> unagi_, it's not a command line application, it's a keyboard combination to kill X. kinda like ctrl-c kills command line apps
[01:33] <anto9us> adrian: you're possibly running synaptic, you can install it from there too
[01:33] <Jordan_U> lns, 7.10 :)
[01:33] <infamouskid_> tajmox :  is there a way i can update the linux driver for my monitor so i can get higher resolution?

[01:35] <tomcommathe> Hey All
[01:35] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon: depends on your videocard and display too

[01:35] <timewriter> thanks anto9us
[01:35] <Vietnow> just a second lemme check
[01:35] <mariocesar_bo> Jordan_U: ok, but the file .xorg.conf.swp, what it is ?
[01:35] <Jordan_U> unagi, Why can't you have it run stop then start?
[01:35] <kristofer> I'm sure I'd like 1400x1050 if it would work. anyone use a dell d610 with 915resolution?
[01:36] <TaJMoX> unagi_ try a forum or google
[01:36] <gnychis> can someone explain these keyring errors to me: http://rafb.net/p/t11eXy88.html
[01:36] <tomcommathe> I am brand new to Ubuntu, and I am a question about copying files to the file system. For whatever reason, it won't allow me to do this... Why?
[01:36] <Vietnow> I have 512 mb ram
[01:36] <unagi_> TaJMoX:  i asked you not to respond to me
[01:36] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon - there are 3 ATI drivers - fglrx - ati - radeon
[01:36] <unagi_> is there a way to block users in irc?
[01:36] <makaira> I'm having trouble formatting my new external harddrive. I installed GParted and it won't give me the option to format, the option is just greyed out.

[01:36] <TaJMoX> unagi_ /ignore TaJMoX
[01:36] <Jordan_U> unagi, /ignore though he isn't being that bad
[01:37] <timewriter> ill reboot and see what happens
[01:37] <unagi_> jgoguen the problem is that it doesnt actually
[01:37] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, is the radeon or ati from ati's site?
[01:37] <unagi_> restart
[01:37] <unagi_> it hangs at the terminal and i have to restart it myself
[01:37] <anto9us> tomcommathe: yes, you don't have permissions, by default a user only has privilege to write to their home folder, the system is protecting you from yourself :)
[01:37] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon: I beleive the "ati" driver is the official one from the amd/ati website - not sure.   fglrx always works for me
[01:37] <Jordan_U> unagi, Why can't you have it run stop then start?
[01:37] <unagi_> because it hangs at the terminal
[01:37] <unagi_> every command ive tried stops at the terminal
[01:37] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, im on fglrx but it doesnt support 1680x1050 does it?
[01:38] <jgoguen> unagi_: probably because the command is run within the context of Gnome, which is killed on restart, which means the restart command is killed by restarting
[01:38] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon: That's what I use
[01:38] <Jordan_U> unagi, If you can start it yourself then a script can do what you are doing
[01:38] <jgoguen> unagi_: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will do the trick
[01:38] <jgoguen> unagi_: and is so much faster and better than a script
[01:38] <unagi_> thats why i dont understand why it isnt actually restarting
[01:38] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, did you just add it to xorg.conf?
[01:38] <jgoguen> unagi_: I just told you why
[01:38] <makaira> Does anybody know why GParted isn't giving me the option to format my external?
[01:38] <Justi1> When I open 'Services settings', a blank window opens and it just sits there. How can I fix this?
[01:38] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon: After I installed fglrx - I got my 1680x1050 resolution automagically
[01:39] <unagi_> soso when gnome is killed the script is therefore killed after gnome is killed?
[01:39] <Jordan_U> unagi, Try looking at the actual script and the difference between restart and stop and start
[01:39] <jgoguen> unagi_: exactly
[01:39] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, isnt fglrx the default ati driver for ubuntu?
[01:39] <jgoguen> unagi_: which is why it doesn't come up
[01:39] <robby> anyone write an algorithm for the folloeing 2 lines of code
[01:39] <unagi_> that doesnt make sense actually because ubotu even says re
[01:39] <unagi_> !X
[01:39] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:39] <timewriter> works
[01:39] <RkyRaccoon> !fglrx
[01:39] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:39] <Jordan_U> unagi, That is what I said but you said that running it in screen didn't work either
[01:39] <Justi1> When I open 'Services settings', a blank window opens and it just sits there. How can I fix this?
[01:40] <unagi_> running it in script or in virtual terminal or in terminal just hangs at the virtual terminal
[01:40] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon: no
[01:40] <jgoguen> unagi_: console, not terminal
[01:40] <jgoguen> unagi_: there's a difference
[01:40] <timewriter> anto9us, does bum manage grub splash ?
[01:40] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, that could be where i went wrong
[01:40] <Tu3sday> greetings, my ubuntu just locked up and froze completely TWICE, anyway I can diagnose this problem?
[01:40] <unagi_> console....terminal.....doesnt work either way
[01:40] <Vietnow> Guys, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my sisters laptop, but after I click "run live cd or install" on the live disc, it starts to load up the os, the desktop wallpaper shows up aswell as a mouse icon  but then it does nothing else.. it just freezes from there, can someone Private message me, this room moves very quickly <<
[01:40] <anto9us> timewriter: sorry, I don't know
[01:40] <timewriter> its ok , its sorted anyway
[01:40] <jgoguen> unagi_: are you using Ubuntu?  I just tried it now on my laptop and from console, Gnome stopped and started again
[01:40] <timewriter> how do i change nautilus splash ?
[01:40] <robby> lTimeOut=Session.Timeout
[01:40] <robby> Session.TimeOut = x
[01:40] <unagi_> yes im using ubuntu
[01:41] <FurryNemesis> hi all
[01:41] <jgoguen> unagi_: but from terminal, it stopped and stayed there
[01:41] <RkyRaccoon> anyone here tried kubuntu?
[01:41] <Shadow_Warrior> Justi1: Man were you with the nick Justi2 yesterday?
[01:41] <Jack_Flash>  Vietnow What boot options have you tried?  Have you done the disk selftest for errors?
[01:41] <unagi_> from the terminal it stops X and takes me to the virtual terminal and stops
[01:41] <Shadow_Warrior> or two days ago...
[01:41] <TaJMoX> rkyraccoon - sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx ; sudo aticonfig --initial ; aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
[01:41] <jgoguen> unagi_: remember, console is accessed with Ctrl+F1, Ctrl+F2, etc
[01:41] <unagi_> yes
[01:41] <unagi_> and from the terminal or consol
[01:41] <Vietnow> yes Jack_Flash, Everything is fine
[01:41] <unagi_> restarting X doesnt start it again
[01:41] <Vietnow> I've actually ran the live boot on another computer,
[01:42] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, thanks
[01:42] <Vietnow> it stops just befor everything loads up
[01:42] <gtroy> anyone give recommendations for eye candy desktop things for a 8mb video card?
[01:42] <Shadow_Warrior> Justi1: if yes... the other guy that used an ATI card found a way to make it work if I remember well. If you remember his name he could help you.
[01:42] <TaJMoX> jgoguen - ask him to re-boot - it should work after that
[01:42] <Jack_Flash> People sorry for the nick changes... I messed up with the wheel mouse
[01:42] <unagi_> here i will run /etc/init.d/?dm restart from the terminal
[01:42] <robby> anyone
[01:42] <mariocesar_bo> mmm i want to know, why the new files i create with sudo has root:plugdev on the proporties insteed root:root, Why?
[01:42] <jgoguen> TaJMoX: gotta love the Windows solution :)
[01:42] <Jack_Flash>  Vietnow What boot options have you tried?
[01:43] <jgoguen> unagi_: no, not ?dm
[01:43] <TaJMoX> jgoguen - hes a windows user
[01:43] <Vietnow> Live cd, and I've tryed the safe graphics mode
[01:43] <robby> Algorithim for - - - -lTimeOut=Session.Timeout
[01:43] <robby> Session.TimeOut = x
[01:43] <Jordan_U> unagi, You don't happen to have kdm installed also do you
[01:43] <Jordan_U> ?
[01:43] <Vietnow> Is it possible for me to delete windows xp, and then install ubuntu
[01:43] <unagi> that didnt work
[01:43] <Jack_Flash> Vietnow: may I msg you?
[01:43] <sean_> !fglrx
[01:43] <gnychis> whats the best way to get gnome-keyring-manager to start every boot?
[01:43] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:43] <unagi> not to my knowledge Jordan_U
[01:43] <Vietnow> straight from the disc?
[01:43] <FurryNemesis> quick question : how do I manually insert icons (.png format) into the appropriate folder for them to appear as an icon set in the theme preferences?
[01:43] <Vietnow> yes
[01:43] <Vietnow> please
[01:44] <unagi> no it isnt
[01:44] <coopster> I want to have 'umount /dev/usbkey' run a script before unmounting, is that possible?
[01:44] <gtroy> unagi: use /etc/intt.d/gdm restart
[01:44] <Vietnow> I think I need to register or something
[01:44] <Jordan_U> gnychis, Are you trying to keep network manager from asking for a passwd every login?
[01:44] <jgoguen> unagi_: ubotu says '?dm' since you could use gdm or kdm depending on what's there...in your case with Gnome, you would use '/etc/init.d/gdm restart' and NOT ?dm
[01:44] <TaJMoX> FurryNemesis: Look at /usr/share/icons
[01:45] <robby> fine
[01:45] <FurryNemesis> TaJMoX, tried that, it doesn't seem to be it
[01:45] <Jordan_U> jgoguen, Actually Bash interprets the ? as a wild card and it just works :)
[01:45] <ma-t> #talca
[01:45] <TaJMoX> jgoguen: ?dm should do the same thing
[01:45] <tomcommathe> Okay, so I am still lost... Sorry, like I said, this is my first time using this OS (And haven't played in Linux for years) How do I gain write permissions into a File System folder?
[01:45] <gtroy> I want desktop candy for an old laptop
[01:45] <gnychis> Jordan_U: right, nm-applet keeps asking me for a pass
[01:45] <TaJMoX> FurryNemesis: that's where all your icon themes are.
[01:45] <gtroy> !permissions
[01:45] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[01:45] <makaira> I'm trying to format an external harddrive from the terminal and it is saying "No partition is defined yet!" when I type the "d," or delete, command.
[01:45] <makaira> Anybody know what's up?
[01:45] <Vietnow> Jack_Sparrow it will not let me private message you because I'm not a registered user, just wait a little bit
[01:46] <gravemind> hey, how can I make my ubuntu startup as fast as my windows partition?
[01:46] <Vietnow> then I'll message you
[01:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Vietnow:   /j #Vietnow
[01:46] <TaJMoX> tomcommathe - EXAMPLE: sudo gedit /etc/filename
[01:46] <unagi> i just dont get it
[01:46] <Jordan_U> gnychis, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager see automatic keyring
[01:46] <unagi> gdm restart doesnt help because its not restarting x server
[01:46] <gtroy> unagi:
[01:46] <TaJMoX> gravemind: dont turn it off
[01:46] <jgoguen> TaJMoX: I see...guess I'm just too used to my days on earlier versions of OpenBSD where such a thing didn't always work
[01:46] <unagi> gnome lets me know there is already x server running
[01:46] <FurryNemesis> TaJMoX, I don't see some of them, not the actual desktop icons - is there another folder for ones that have been installed ?
[01:46] <nerdygirl_ellie> Hi everybody!
[01:46] <jgoguen> TaJMoX: thx for letting me know
[01:46] <gtroy> type ctrl alt backspace to restart X
[01:46] <gravemind> TaJMoX: loudish fan...
[01:46] <unagi> thanks gtroy
[01:46] <Hyarion2> has anyone had issues with adding an mp3 profile to Sound Juicer? No matter how many times I try when I change the pipeline, the profile disappears from the list.
[01:46] <gtroy> yup
[01:46] <gravemind> bright leds, etc.
[01:47] <unagi> gtroy now tell me a command to do the same thing
[01:47] <gnychis> Jordan_U: awesome, i'll check that out thanks
[01:47] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, is installing fglrx from the restricted drivers manager any different from doing it with your command line codes?
[01:47] <TaJMoX> jgoguen - well this is bash
[01:47] <gtroy> terminal command?
[01:47] <unagi> yup
[01:47] <Jordan_U> gravemind, hibernate, make boot run scripts in parallel
[01:47] <nerdygirl_ellie> unagi: won't sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart do it?
[01:47] <gtroy> why would you want that unagi ?
[01:47] <gtroy> to stop it completely?
[01:48] <unagi> heres what id ultimately like to do.......write a script that switches my xorg.conf restarts x server kills avant window navigator and opens maya
[01:48] <nerdygirl_ellie> How do I change my default runlevel from 5 to 3?
[01:48] <gtroy> ok
[01:48] <unagi> is that possible?
[01:49] <martoss> hi there
[01:49] <unagi> i didnt think this was really such a hard thing to do
[01:49] <Jordan_U> unagi, Have it startx instead of gdm * be careful to su first if the script is run as root*
[01:49] <unagi> /etc/init.d/X start?
[01:49] <gtroy> $sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[01:49] <Jordan_U> unagi, It isn't when it works :)
[01:49] <TaJMoX> FurryNemesis: ~/.Icons or ~/.icons
[01:49] <unagi> lol yea Jordan_U youre not kidding
[01:49] <Jordan_U> unagi, No, just "startx"
[01:49] <nerdygirl_ellie> Do you specify the window manager in the Xorg.conf?  I didn't know that.
[01:49] <FurryNemesis> thanks
[01:50] <martoss> i need a x86_64 opensuse in a ubuntu x86_64. Xen is not an option, since i need 2.6.22 from gutsy here.
[01:50] <martoss> what do you recommend?
[01:50] <Jordan_U> unagi, But again, since your script is running as root and you DO NOT want to start x as root be carefull
[01:50] <martoss> is there sth like debootstrap?
[01:50] <gtroy> unagi: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-desktop-x-windows/1250-stop-x.html
[01:50] <TaJMoX> RkyRaccoon: restricted drivers manager might work for you - try it - it didnt for me
[01:50] <bulmer> nerdygirl_ellie: nope thats not where it is defined
[01:51] <Jordan_U> !debootstrap | martoss
[01:51] <ubotu> martoss: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into.

[01:51] <martoss> Jordan_U, i know
[01:51] <nerdygirl_ellie> Didn't think so.  Is it in .xsession or something?
[01:51] <martoss> just was asking if sth similar exists for rpm based distros
[01:52] <bulmer> nerdygirl_ellie: something like that or maybe Xdefaults
[01:52] <Biteyni> Hello all!
[01:52] <Jordan_U> martoss, Why ask in #ubuntu?
[01:52] <unagi_> says something like unknown process X
[01:52] <martoss> the problem is, that intel vtune and fortran compilers won't intall in ubuntu. So i just wanna install them in a changeroot.
[01:52] <Jordan_U> unagi, just "startx" nothing else
[01:52] <TaJMoX> nerdygirl_ellie: telinit
[01:52] <unagi_> ok brb
[01:52] <Biteyni> I have a problem when trying to install ubuntu (first time) The CD is fine the iso image is fine burn was good
[01:52] <martoss> Jordan_U, i was more asking for an xen alternative working with gutsy'S 2.6.22 kernel
[01:53] <unagi_> wait what kills x
[01:53] <unagi_> stopx?
[01:53] <Jordan_U> unagi, No
[01:53] <Stwange> ive got trouble with my sound card, whenever i use it, it squeals, only happens with ubuntu, any suggestions?
[01:53] <unagi_> whats the command for killing x
[01:53] <Biteyni> the screen loads up to where i have to chose in safe graphics mode
[01:53] <Biteyni> i press enter to go to graphics mode
[01:53] <TaJMoX> unagi_ it is sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart    you already know this
[01:53] <vladuz976> when I edit /etc/resolv.conf it doesn`t retain the changes after reboot? how can I make it keep the settings i want? I think "network manager" changes it
[01:53] <shiester_miester> Stwange, what sound card is it?
[01:54] <mroc> hello.  i'm having two issues - one that's very important, the other is fairly minor.  Big issue:  i'm getting (seemingly) random glitches in the display and don't know where i should be looking to find error messages or how to begin troubleshooting.   Small issue:  i can see shared music in rhythmbox and amarok.  it plays fine in rhythmbox, but i get connection errors in amarok.  any help (with either issue) is very appreciated
[01:54] <Biteyni> the screen says loading kernel and then the screen stays black
[01:54] <vladuz976> unagi, cntr alt backspace
[01:54] <Optimus55> can anyone explain to me? i use a dial connection, but once i plug in my ethernet jack, my dial up connection breaks, any ideas?
[01:54] <TaJMoX> nerdygirl_ellie: did that work ?
[01:54] <nerdygirl_ellie> vladuz976: Hi.  Your dhcp agent is overwriting it.  one sec, I'll tell you how to change it.
[01:54] <Stwange> shiester_miester, it's onboard with the A8V-VM
[01:54] <makaira> I need help with an external harddrive. The external has hidden partitions and fdisk isn't letting me format the harddrive. Any way I can fix this?!?
[01:54] <glLoadIdentity> hi all, i have a double click problem with my mouse.. i am using 6.10 and whenever i use the left button, it clicks 2 times.. and i dont have 2 mouse devices in my xorg.conf
[01:55] <Biteyni> if anybody can point me in the right direction to where i can solve my problem.. i'm thinking it has to do with graphics card but dunno
[01:55] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, its probably trying to change from one to the other, dropping the connection
[01:55] <TaJMoX> makaira - have you tried gparted
[01:55] <unagi_> i dont think gdm restart or stop stops x
[01:55] <makaira> TaJMoX: Yes, it doesn't even give me the option to format. The function is greyed out.
[01:55] <RkyRaccoon> tajmox, works like a charm thanks
[01:56] <Biteyni> anybody?
[01:56] <unagi_> because startx gave a fatal server error for theres already x running on display 0 and gdm start tells me x is already running
[01:56] <makaira> TaJMoX: It does show me that there are about 10 partitions + 1 unallocated partition before the actual partition begins.
[01:56] <TaJMoX> makaira: probably because the partition is mounted - umount it first
[01:56] <Optimus55> shiester_miester: any idea how to stop that. like stop the default gateway from changing or so?
[01:56] <rolfen> makaira: you have 10 partitions on your drive?
[01:56] <nerdygirl_ellie> vladuz976: found it.  gksu gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and add prepend domain-name-servers x.x.x.x;
[01:56] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, you can specify the gateway in the network settings
[01:56] <unagi_> no new ideas?
[01:57] <makaira> rolfen: It's a brand new external with some proprietary stuff on it.
[01:57] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, although that will probably mean that you also have to specify IP and subnet
[01:57] <TaJMoX> nerdygirl_ellie: did you need to change runlevel?   did telinit work ?
[01:57] <jgoguen> unagi_: at this point, you're probably best to reboot and start trying what you've been told after a reboot...everything you've been told about /etc/init.d/gdm is correct
[01:57] <timm> anyone know how to play Videos on Ubuntu?
[01:57] <Tu3sday> help! my ubuntu keeps freezing over and over and over again!
[01:57] <Tu3sday> make it stop!
[01:57] <Biteyni> can anybody help with with my installation problem?
[01:57] <shiester_miester> timm, i do it all the time
[01:57] <nerdygirl_ellie> makaira: what command are you starting fdisk with?
[01:57] <TaJMoX> unagi_ sudo killall Xorg
[01:57] <rolfen> Tu3sday: it just freezes?
[01:57] <Justi1> When I try to install/uninstall anything with synaptic, it freezes halfway through, saying it is trying to install flash player. How can I stop this?
[01:57] <Tu3sday> rolfen: yes
[01:57] <TaJMoX> unagi_ sudo shutdown -r now
[01:58] <rolfen> Tu3sday: mouse freezes too?
[01:58] <Stwange> shiester_miester, any ideas? It's not even a little squeal I can put up with, it's louder than the music
[01:58] <Tu3sday> rolfen: i'll be typing a command and everything locks up completely, yes
[01:58] <openedu> Hi, i just upgraded from edgy to feisty and am having trouble getting my software RAID1 working again.
[01:58] <jgoguen> TaJMoX: he took my reboot idea already I think :)
[01:58] <Optimus55> is there a cmd to set the default gateway in cli?
[01:58] <jgoguen> TaJMoX:  unagi_ has quit (Client Quit)
[01:58] <Tu3sday> it could be 5 minutes after I reboot... or 20 minutes
[01:58] <nerdygirl_ellie> I know about telinit, is there a way I can change the default runlevel at boot?
[01:58] <openedu> It was previously mounting on /mnt/backed just fine, but now nothing happens
[01:58] <infamouskid_> can someone tell me the command line to open a terminal window?
[01:58] <rolfen> Tu3sday: could it be bad hardware?
[01:58] <shiester_miester> Stwange, no idea.  if you turn down the volume in the volume control panel, does the sqeal get softer?
[01:58] <Biteyni> can anybody be a good help and point at least somewhere that'll help me?
[01:58] <makaira> nerdygirl_ellie: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
[01:58] <rolfen> Tu3sday: or maybe a bug in the drivers
[01:58] <Tu3sday> I don't think so
[01:58] <shiester_miester> infamouskid, thats a silly question
[01:59] <Tu3sday> I just rolled back the kernel to a previous one
[01:59] <Tu3sday> maybe that will help
[01:59] <rolfen> Tu3sday: sounds like a pretty low-level problem
[01:59] <novato_br> what s going on with this dude? http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=i3x4C1fJcUk&mode=related&search=
[01:59] <makaira> Then it says "No partition is defined yet!"
[01:59] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, thats a silly question (sorry got your name wrong)
[01:59] <mujahid> hi, i am running fiesty fawn - i need to upgrade gtk to 2.10.13 - how do i do that?
[01:59] <timm> shie mate Pm please
[01:59] <infamouskid_> shiester : no it isnt i am a noob. day 2 linux for me
[01:59] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: route add 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw x.x.x.x
[01:59] <Tu3sday> rolfen: i've used this system and it's hardware for a long period of time and have never had this issue
[01:59] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, oh sorry, i misread your question
[01:59] <Tu3sday> rolfen: do you know if logs will shed any light on this, if so which ones?
[02:00] <nerdygirl_ellie> TaJMoX: yes, telinit works, I'm looking for the way to do it at every boot.
[02:00] <infamouskid_> shiester_miester :  i am trying to bind a keyboard shortcut but i do not know the command line to open a terminal window to the shoortcut
[02:00] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, "gnome-terminal" or "xterm" both work, although there are lots of others too
[02:00] <infamouskid_> shiester_miester : thanks you
[02:00] <rolfen> Tu3sday: well if if freezes like this then I'm assuming that there is no log entry
[02:00] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, i highly recommend that you install "tilda" its very useful terminal application
[02:00] <nerdygirl_ellie> makaira: That's weird.  Could it be that the partition is mounted?  It is a shot in the dark.
[02:00] <JFreak> hello everybody
[02:00] <Tu3sday> rolfen: :(
[02:01] <rolfen> Tu3sday: But I dont know... maybe someone else can help
[02:01] <shiester_miester> gday JFreak
[02:01] <JFreak> can somebody help me? how make to beryl start automatic every time i login my session ??
[02:01] <infamouskid_> man i dont understand why
[02:01] <Stwange> shiester_miester, dunno, it's not making any sound now :S ah well ill come back next time it does :)
[02:01] <makaira> nerdygirl_ellie: One sec, I may be making some progress.
[02:01] <bulmer> nerdygirl_ellie: look at /etc/inittab
[02:01] <TaJMoX> nerdygirl_ellie: Ubuntu doesn't use the regular init - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel#Ubuntu_Linux
[02:01] <shiester_miester> JFreak, menu -> system -> preferences -> sessions
[02:01] <rolfen> Tu3sday: what I would have done is made sure all the drivers are up to date and maybe try to disable some hardware...
[02:01] <nerdygirl_ellie> bulmer: thanks!  That's the file.
[02:01] <infamouskid_> so much you can do with linux.. i am starting to even wonder why linux is not in all office computers
[02:02] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: if its a dial connection, how do i set default gateway to be whatever dynamic gateway gets set on device ttyUSB0?
[02:02] <TaJMoX> ubuntu doesnt use inittab
[02:02] <rolfen> Tu3sday: sorry, I'm no big help
[02:02] <shiester_miester> Stwange, try playing with the volumes a bit, and some of the other settings in the volume control panel thingo
[02:02] <TaJMoX> bulmer
[02:02] <bulmer> TaJMoX: sure it does
[02:02] <Tu3sday> rolfen: well i appreciate the input regardless
[02:02] <TaJMoX> bulmer - nah =] 
[02:02] <Tu3sday> rolfen: I did a apt-get update and ugprade so i think everything is as up2date as it can  be
[02:02] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, theres nothing u can really do with linux that you can't do with other OSes, it just has some different functionality implemented
[02:02] <JFreak> shiester_miester what have to do in preferences ??
[02:03] <infamouskid_> tajmox shiester : thanks you both.. i learned a lot today. even as a noob.. btw tajmox i fixed the resolution prob i had to make a script
[02:03] <shiester_miester> JFreak, i dont know, specifically, just have a fiddle with things
[02:03] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: instead of gw x.x.xx use dev ppp0 or whatever the name of the interface is.
[02:03] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, you dont have to thank me, i barely said anything
[02:03] <makaira> nerdygirl_ellie: K, I think I made progress clearing it out. Now I am trying to format it in GParted and I'm not sure what "labeltype" I should give it. I'm trying to format it as ext3.
[02:03] <JFreak> thks
[02:03] <TaJMoX> infamouskid: no prob - congratz =] 
[02:03] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, and the reason it isnt in most offices is because nobody can be bothered to learn it.  m$ software is "good enough"
[02:03] <infamouskid_> shiester : you still asnwered me.. most ppl wont even help beginners lik eme
[02:03] <rolfen> Tu3sday: did you check the smart status of you hard drives?
[02:03] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: man route has some examples.
[02:03] <f00bar2k> what do I need to add to my config files to get php handling .php files in apache?
[02:03] <TaJMoX> bulmer: mind showing me your /etc/inittab ?
[02:04] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, yeah pretty much everyone does...thats what this channel is for
[02:04] <Tu3sday> rolfen: smart status, im afraid I don't know what that is, I do however have a Removable External USB 2.0 HDD
[02:04] <TaJMoX> bulmer: because none of my ubuntu computers have it.   ubuntu has 2 runlevels
[02:04] <shiester_miester> f00bar2k, i would think that php handles .php files by default
[02:04] <shiester_miester> timm, i sent you a pm, why dont you reply?
[02:04] <f00bar2k> shiester_miester, i would have thought so too! :)
[02:04] <shiester_miester> f00bar2k, :/
[02:04] <infamouskid_> shiester yajmos : to be honest the only reason i installed linux is becuase i got pissed off that i spent 900 bucks on an os 2 days ago only to see after the format that my hard ware was not compatible
[02:04] <Tu3sday> rolfen: but it's been in use with this system long term - never had an issue really.... doesn't rule that device out
[02:04] <makaira> nerdygirl_ellie: I think it's MSDOS labeltype. Any ideas as to why the partition shows up as 289GB rather than the full 320GB?
[02:04] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, vista?
[02:04] <infamouskid_> shiester : yah...
[02:05] <infamouskid_> shiester : im pissed but happy now
[02:05] <LucianIndy> im using Tilda, and for some reason, the text in the terminal is formatted all weird. Example: the word Ghost. The G and h will be super close to each other, overlapping sometimes, but the the o and s will be spaced apart then the t will be right up on the s's butt
[02:05] <robsomebody> hello #ubuntu
[02:05] <LucianIndy> its really annoying and hard to read. how do i fix this
[02:05] <rolfen> Tu3sday: yeah. smart is a technology to monitor the health of your hard drive.
[02:05] <shiester_miester> !hi | robsomebody
[02:05] <ubotu> robsomebody: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:05] <TaJMoX> bulmer nerdygirlellie - Runlevel 1: Single User Mode - Runlevel 2: GDM boot
[02:05] <nerdygirl_ellie> makaira: not sure if this is much help, but "Labels" let you mount a partition without keeping track of the location.  i.e. Label="yadayada" in the /etc/fstab instead of /dev/sda1
[02:05] <Motorsport3> Hello, I just installed feisty on a desktop w/ a SB Audigy card, but none of my sound works. How do I get this working?
[02:05] <nerdygirl_ellie> TaJMoX: Thanks.  I'm reading it now.
[02:05] <kapace> hello, how do i change file attributes?
[02:05] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: i keep getting unknown host
[02:05] <infamouskid_> shiester : could you believe this is the first time today i ever knew what irc was?
[02:06] <loca|host> my beryl is no more working after upgrading to feisty
[02:06] <shiester_miester> infamouskid_, irc is pretty obscure
[02:06] <shiester_miester> loca|host, reinstall beryl then
[02:06] <Optimus55> route add 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev ttyUSB0  --> unknown host
[02:06] <unagi> i restarted....i ran sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart......it blanks the screen.......takes me to a screen with a bunch of lines like starting bluetooth [ok]  and just sits there
[02:06] <gravemin1> Jordan_U: how do you make the boot scripts run in parallel
[02:06] <robsomebody> kapace, what do you mean file attribs? like read/write/xicute?
[02:06] <unagi> so where exactly did i go wrong
[02:06] <kapace> ya
[02:06] <infamouskid_> BRB
[02:06] <Optimus55> route add 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev ppp0 --> unknown host
[02:06] <shiester_miester> loca|host, its not like beryl has a plethora of settings :P
[02:06] <gnychis> is there a proper guide to follow for setting up XGL/Compiz or whatever the best/newest eye candy is?
[02:06] <shiester_miester> Motorsport3, in the volume control panel, does it show your sound card at all?
[02:06] <LucianIndy> any guesses?
[02:06] <shiester_miester> gnychis, yes there is
[02:06] <TaJMoX> nerdygirl_ellie to boot into single user mode just use the boot option singleuser (in grub)
[02:07] <robsomebody> kapace: you will want to use the CHMOD command
[02:07] <kapace> oo.. example?
[02:07] <robsomebody> kapace, you need to be root to use it, so you have to do like this
[02:07] <kapace> i tried chmod 777..
[02:07] <unagi> no ides huh
[02:07] <shiester_miester> gnychis, we don't provide support for that here though.  you can google it, and you can also ask in #opencompositing
[02:07] <kapace> sudo chmod..
[02:07] <bulmer> unagi: take a look at /etc/init.d/xdm  how it uses /usr/bin/X11/xdm
[02:07] <bobgill> Can someone help me with a script: http://pastebin.ca/617046    I just want to kill conky before game starts, then when game exits conky runs again.. everything but last line to start conky again works
[02:07] <oxeimon3> does anyone know how to manage multiple monitors on ubuntu
[02:07] <robsomebody> kapace, sudo 755 -R (DIR PATH)
[02:07] <oxeimon3> is there native support for that?
[02:07] <kapace> kk
[02:07] <Tama00> how come my windows network browsing doesnt work anymore:(
[02:07] <oxeimon3> I have 2 monitors
[02:07] <Motorsport3> shiester_miester: If I open the volume control from the panel, the title of the window says, "Volume Control: Audigy 1 [SB0090]  (Alsa mixer)
[02:07] <kapace> thanks
[02:08] <robsomebody> would change all directories about DIR PATH to chmod 755
[02:08] <robsomebody> kapace, do this
[02:08] <TaJMoX> bulmer - he will think you literally mean "xdm"    he is using gdm
[02:08] <robsomebody> sudo chmod --help
[02:08] <Tama00> can someone please tell me the service that lets me browse windows networks
[02:08] <John`> how can i reinstall the regular compiz from ubuntu again?
[02:08] <robsomebody> and
[02:08] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: your interface may not be called ppp0.  run ifconfig to see what the name of the interface is.
[02:08] <robsomebody> man chmod
[02:08] <unagi> bulmer how do i look at the gdm script
[02:08] <kapace> bkk
[02:08] <shiester_miester> Motorsport3, ok so its obviously working
[02:08] <kapace> or even man chmod.,.
[02:08] <unagi> i swear to god TaJMoX you really know how to talk down on someone
[02:08] <Jsp> Hey, i'm new to ubuntu, how can i install refit.deb before i install with the live cd?
[02:08] <kapace> thcxs man
[02:08] <kapace> byes
[02:08] <robsomebody> kapace, be sure to read those or you can lock yourself out of your entire hard drive reallllllly easy
[02:08] <bulmer> unagi use vim or emacs or nano
[02:09] <oxeimon3> how would I manage two monitors on ubuntu?
[02:09] <Tu3sday> rolfen: under windows I had a program that could tell me temperature and other features of my hdds in the taskbar, if that's related to smart at all... heh <---newbie
[02:09] <shiester_miester> oxeimon3, yes ubuntu can do dual-monitor setups
[02:09] <Motorsport3> shiester_miester: nope i can't hear anything, nothing is muted
[02:09] <bobgill> oxeimon3: nVidia or ATI card ?
[02:09] <oxeimon3> ATI
[02:09] <rolfen> Tu3sday: yeah it uses smart to get the temperature :)
[02:09] <bobgill> ouch, then I'm not sure :/ I use nVidia
[02:09] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: yup ppp0
[02:09] <John`> how can i reinstall ubuntu compiz, because i accidently uninstall it
[02:09] <oxeimon3> boo
[02:09] <oxeimon3> nvidia blows
[02:09] <Optimus55> Link encap Point to Point protocol
[02:09] <bobgill> lol
[02:09] <oxeimon3> shiester: how would I do that?

[02:10] <unagi> dont blame me because you dont know how to fix this problem TaJMoX
[02:10] <jgoguen> unagi: I work for a helpdesk and have never seen a user reply to someone giving them free help in this way
[02:10] <unagi> jgoguen: how exactly have i replied to you
[02:10] <TaJMoX> unagi - how many hours is it going to take to realise we can't solve your problem without more information
[02:11] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: this works for me..  sudo route add 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 dev ppp0
[02:11] <unagi> what information do you need.....
[02:11] <unagi> ive told you exactly what happens
[02:11] <Jordan_U> gravemin1, change CONCURRENCY=none to "CONCURRENCY=shell"
[02:11] <TaJMoX> "nothing happens"
[02:11] <TaJMoX> yeah...
[02:11] <shiester_miester> TaJMoX and unagi, stop bickering and realise the context in which you are interacting
[02:11] <unagi> thats exactly what happens
[02:11] <unagi> it sits there
[02:11] <shiester_miester> this is a support channel, not a public debate forum
[02:11] <unagi> how do you want me to word it
[02:11] <compilerwriter> unagi do you have a buddy anago?
[02:11] <unagi> please tell me
[02:11] <TaJMoX> shiester_miester: he started it - i was helping him and he started insulting me
[02:11] <unagi> ill reword it in anyway you need me to
[02:11] <unagi> want me to spell it out?
[02:11] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: oh okay. i type sudo b4 and i think it went thro. no error msg
[02:11] <Optimus55> thanks
[02:12] <unagi> i-t s-i-t-s t-h-e-r-e
[02:12] <fxfitz> I recently installed Windows Vista on a small partition on my Ubuntu laptop. However, grub no longer pops up to let me boot back in to Ubuntu. How can I fix that?
[02:12] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: route -n will print the route table
[02:12] <shiester_miester> TaJMoX, does it matter?  when adults have conflicts they are generally worked out through patience, tolerance and compromise
[02:12] <rolfen> unagi what sits there?
[02:12] <SlimG2> why does: sudo echo '<deb repos url>' >> /etc/apt/sources.list     give me "Permission denied" ?
[02:12] <unagi> screen blanks....takes me to where the services starts.......and sits there
[02:12] <unagi> doesnt give me gdm back
[02:12] <unagi> starting bluetooth [ok] 
[02:12] <gravemin1> Jordan_U: that's it? Cool, I'll try hibernating
[02:12] <unagi> checking batterystate [ok] 
[02:12] <rolfen> unagi last message on screen?
[02:12] <Jordan_U> !grub | fxfitz
[02:12] <dsgsdg> use ctrl+alt+fx and restart gdm in another terminal unagi
[02:12] <unagi> need more information?
[02:12] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: when i plug in the eth0 will that take over again?
[02:12] <rolfen> ah on
[02:12] <TaJMoX> shiester_miester: it's been hours.  i guess i do need more patience - and probably a break from #ubuntu
[02:12] <rolfen> ok
[02:13] <ubotu> fxfitz: 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
[02:13] <unagi> please TaJMoX i really want to give you the information you want
[02:13] <nerdygirl_ellie> for me it's hit or miss.  usually network manager "just works" when I plug back in.  If not it does after a reboot.
[02:13] <unagi> you just have to tell me what information youre looking for
[02:13] <unagi> want an error message?
[02:13] <unagi> there isnt one
[02:13] <shiester_miester> TaJMoX, nobody will be offended if you just take a break.  on the other hand, snapping and biting at someone can do irreperable damage
[02:13] <unagi> sorry...but theres not
[02:13] <rolfen> unagi check battery state [ok]  is the last message?
[02:13] <unagi> i believe thats the last one in the line
[02:14] <unagi> theres a whole list of things there its nothing out of the ordinary
[02:14] <dsgsdg> unagi maybe if you 	
[02:14] <dsgsdg> ???????  he'll understand :)
[02:14] <rolfen> unagi try booting in runlevel 1 and disabling that check battery service
[02:14] <Jsp> how can i install a program before i install, like refit.deb, if install reformats?
[02:14] <unagi> its just nothign happens until i ctrl alt f1 and login and start gdm
[02:14] <unagi> rolfen that screen is normal when i press ctrl alt backspace
[02:14] <dsgsdg> 
[02:14] <dsgsdg> ???Linux ,????. ???????
[02:14] <TaJMoX> you have too many X servers running...
[02:14] <shiester_miester> brb
[02:14] <unagi> the problem is when ran by a command it doesnt go past that screen
[02:15] <Evolution2>   hi guys. i have belarc advisor and it told me that iam missing 2 critical updates for office. i followed the link and downloaded the stuff but it told me that its already installed. i don't think belarc is wrong because before it said 4 updates missing and i updated 2 security updates down to 2 when i retested. windows xp. :(
[02:15] <rolfen> unagi it sits there.. .until you do what?
[02:15] <unagi> ctrl alt f1 and type /etc/init.d/gdm start
[02:15] <nerdygirl_ellie> Evolution2: I don't think you'll get much help for that here.
[02:15] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: hey it works thanks. plugged back in ethernet and still here. issue solved
[02:15] <nerdygirl_ellie> !offtopic
[02:15] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:15] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: Yeah!
[02:15] <rolfen> ok unagi try to disable that battery chek service
[02:15] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: :)
[02:16] <dsgsdg> evolution2, simple...click Start>Run type cmd and click ok, then type format c: /x and press enter
[02:16] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: mine is wierd, I sometimes have to add it manually when I use my sprint wireless card.
[02:16] <le1> Excuse me, Please have a look here,http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/2570, and tell me what's wrong with it?
[02:16] <unagi> i really dont think the check battery service is the problem
[02:16] <unagi> when i ctrl alt backspace its there too
[02:16] <unagi> but at least the keystroke brings back the gui
[02:16] <TaJMoX> gdm isnt starting because its already running in another VT
[02:17] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: that exactly it. im using evdo. had a long day tryin to get that to work :S
[02:17] <nerdygirl_ellie> le1: If you look in /var/log/httpd/error.log you should get a real error message with "useful" information.
[02:17] <Justi1> I can hear sounds on the login screen, but after I sign in I can't hear any sounds.  when I go to sound settings and click Test, it freezes up. Can anyone help?
[02:17] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: mine works great, but I had to activate it in a windows pc.
[02:17] <unagi> Optimus55: are you trying to use dial up with bluetooth?
[02:17] <le1> nerdygirl_ellie: thank you
[02:18] <unagi> ahhhh thank god for sprint evdo =)
[02:18] <nerdygirl_ellie> le1: anytime.
[02:18] <Optimus55> unagi: no i'm using an evdo card
[02:18] <unagi> oh
[02:18] <unagi> heh
[02:18] <unagi> paying lots of money huh
[02:18] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: did you set the dialup connection up with network manager?
[02:18] <unagi> i only pay 15 dollars for my internet
[02:18] <nerdygirl_ellie> verizon uses evdo doesn't it?
[02:18] <Optimus55> no i had to edit wvdial.conf
[02:18] <LucianIndy> Justi1, the only thing i can think of is something is loading (check system monitor->processes) that is screwing with your sounds
[02:18] <rolfen> i pay $ 160 :-p
[02:18] <unagi> optimus is it sprint or verizon
[02:18] <Motorsport3> shiester_miester: I got my sound working. I had to go into the mixer -> switches and disable "Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack"
[02:18] <squee> How do I tell what speed I'm connected to my network at (eg 10/100/1000)
[02:19] <FruitLoop> when setting up a network computer to do DHCP for the purpose of net-booting another computer (as described in here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot) Should I turn off the DHCP service on my router/gateway/modem thingy? Or will that not interfere with the process?
[02:19] <Optimus55> unagi: neither, i'm not from the states :P
[02:19] <Justi1> LucianIndy: What is 'esd'
[02:19] <unagi> ok
[02:19] <bruenig> squee, you could use ping maybe and do some math
[02:19] <Optimus55> im just wondering if feisty comes with build in connection sharing now
[02:19] <mroc> retrying this question:  i'm getting strange glitches in my graphics, (seemingly) at random.  where should i be looking for errors or clues as to the problem?
[02:19] <squee> bruenig: There has to be an easier way than that... windows can tell right away
[02:19] <Jordan_U> bruenig, Wouldn't that only show latency?
[02:19] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: I am so sorry.  For me, I had to set the device in network manager, give it a bogus username/password, and then edit the username password out.  no more vaugeries.
[02:19] <FruitLoop> electro static discharge?
[02:19] <shiester_miester> Motorsport3, thats great to hear :D
[02:19] <unagi> can anyone help me try to figure out why sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart doesnt restart gdm?
[02:19] <shiester_miester> lol, hear
[02:19] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: It does not, but firestarter makes it easy to setup.
[02:20] <LucianIndy> Justi1, dont know but its on my list too
[02:20] <shiester_miester> unagi, thats an unusual problem
[02:20] <bulmer> FruitLoop: you only need one DHCP server on the subnet that and that server should point to your pxe where the boot stuff is
[02:20] <Motorsport3> :)
[02:20] <LucianIndy> so thats not it because i dont have the problem
[02:20] <rolfen> smartctl is telling me my drives do not support SMART when I know they do...
[02:20] <unagi> any ideas on how to fix it shiester_miester
[02:20] <squee> unagi: try force-reload instead of restart - not sure if it makes a difference but it's what I use and it couldn't hurt
[02:20] <Optimus55> how did you set it up in network manager and then edit out the username/pass?  the dialog box wouldnt let me save if i had no username
[02:20] <unagi> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm --force-reload?
[02:21] <Justi1> LucianIndy: if I send links to screenshots of my list, can you look for anything that might interfere?
[02:21] <squee> unagi: no, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm force-reload
[02:21] <Jordan_U> unagi, No --
[02:21] <unagi> k brb
[02:21] <shiester_miester> dsgsdg, i dont thikn telling someone to format their hdd is good advice
[02:21] <Optimus55> erdygirl_ellie: whats firestarter?
[02:21] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: brb

[02:22] <le1> nerdygirl_ellie: I'm newbie. I don't know how to view log. I run the 'Sys Log View in Ubuntu,I just see nothing without 'auth' 'daemon' 'debug' 'kem' 'messages' 'syslog' 'user'.log.
[02:22] <unagi> still no
[02:22] <unagi> this is really annoying
[02:22] <shiester_miester> lel, most people here would be classified as "newbies"
[02:22] <FruitLoop> bulmer: I'm new to this process, so I'm not really sure what you mean by the server pointing to the boot stuff... but I assume if I do everything on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot it will work, I just wanted to know if the router I have which is already offering DHCPO is going to cause a problem when I set up the server to offer DHCP for the purpose of netbooting..
[02:22] <Optimus55> Jordan_U: ?
[02:22] <shiester_miester> lel, doesnt mean you dont deserve help :)
[02:22] <unagi> i dont understand
[02:22] <FruitLoop> bulmer: -O
[02:22] <Jordan_U> Optimus55, You asked what firestarter was
[02:22] <shiester_miester> unagi, yes it sounds annoying
[02:22] <robsomebody> lel, try this in command line
[02:23] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: firestarter is an iptables (firewall) configuration helper.  For internet connection sharing it's good.
[02:23] <nerdygirl_ellie> le1
[02:23] <Optimus55> Jordan_U: yeh. whats the "!"
[02:23] <robsomebody> lel, tail -f | /var/log/kern.log
[02:23] <unagi> if x was still running ctrl + alt + f7 would bring me back right?
[02:23] <Jordan_U> !ubotu > Optimus55
[02:23] <robsomebody> also, play with help
[02:23] <bulmer> FruitLoop: you need only one DHCP server on the subnet..dont have a router with dhcp server and then your boot server acting as dhcp server at same time..only need one
[02:23] <shiester_miester> unagi, yes, i think so
[02:23] <nerdygirl_ellie> le1: gksu gedit /var/log/httpd/error.log should do it.

[02:24] <Jordan_U> Optimus55, The > made it send you a private message
[02:24] <unagi> ok so X is definately shutting off so that dude earlier was wrong
[02:24] <nerdygirl_ellie> le1: I would open a terminal and do "tail -f /var/log/httpd/error.log" though, because then you could watch it in real time
[02:24] <shiester_miester> kr00lplatinum, this really isnt the right place to be asking about that
[02:24] <goldbond> can anyone recommend a smtp server for ubuntu?
[02:24] <unagi> but its not restarting automatically

[02:25] <rolfen> lel: nerdygirl_ellie: actually gksu works too... sorry... need to sleep
[02:25] <kr00lplatinum> shiester_miester: I know but I was looking for someone that knows how to install software on ubuntu
[02:25] <tomcommathe> I am having trouble with a Buffalo wireless card and Ubuntu... lshw shows that i have a car inserted, but I cannot get any response from it.. any ideas?
[02:25] <Robotnik> Does anyone know how to resize an ubuntu partition, I want to make some space (around 10gb) to make a partition for xp.
[02:25] <shiester_miester> kr00lplatinum, there are plenty of those here
[02:25] <cdehaan> Robotnik: The best way, IMO, is to get the GParted bootable CD>
[02:25] <Tu3sday> Robotnik: tried gparted?
[02:25] <nerdygirl_ellie> Robotnik: they say that gparted can do it, but I would make a backup first.
[02:26] <kr00lplatinum> shiester_miester: Yes, that's why i'm here but i would like a wardriver to help me. Which is why i asked
[02:26] <unagi> i like gparted
[02:26] <shiester_miester> gparted is the partition configuration thingo that comes up during installation with the live cd, correct?
[02:26] <astro76> unagi, does X start properly the first time the computer boots?
[02:26] <Robotnik> Ok, so its possible to rezise ext3 partition?
[02:26] <EdLin> shiester_miester: no, it's a different resizing program. I wish it was part of the installer
[02:26] <shiester_miester> Robotnik, yes, it is, afaik
[02:26] <Robotnik> make it smaller, that is
[02:26] <Jordan_U> Robotnik, You can only resize the tail though ( not sure if that is the correct terminology )
[02:26] <unagi> x loads fine all the time it just wont restart properly unless i do the keystroke
[02:26] <shiester_miester> EdLin, oh, so gparted isnt in the installer :/
[02:27] <Robotnik> the tail? what does that mean?
[02:27] <shiester_miester> EdLin, can the one in the installer resize partitions too?
[02:27] <codecaine> anybody know if theres a program on linux that can convert video files to smv format?
[02:27] <nerdygirl_ellie> Robotnik: you can definitely increase it, smaller depends on whether or not it is using the space at the end of the partition.
[02:27] <nerdygirl_ellie> shiester_miester: nope.
[02:27] <shiester_miester> codecaine, smv?
[02:27] <nerdygirl_ellie> shiester_miester: not after they are formatted.
[02:27] <shiester_miester> oh ok
[02:27] <buk> Good day.
[02:27] <Jordan_U> Robotnik, You can only change where it ends, not where it begins
[02:27] <astro76> unagi, oh, so with ctrl+alt+backspace it shuts down and restarts, but with gdm restart it shuts down and stays at console?
[02:27] <shiester_miester> but gparted can resize partitions?
[02:27] <cdehaan> Robotnik: Yeah, If your partition currently takes up all of your hard drive, you can make the end of it smaller (I.e. the partition stays at the beginning of the HD) and make room at the end for Windows
[02:27] <codecaine> yes a recording file format
[02:27] <mhz`> question...i'm dual booting xp & ubuntu...xp was installed first and works fine..so far the 2 times i've booted into xp its asking to do a disk check
[02:27] <shiester_miester> gday buk
[02:27] <unagi> correct astro76 you understand moer than anyone else really has
[02:27] <shiester_miester> codecaine, what is it?
[02:27] <mhz`> question...i'm dual booting xp & ubuntu...xp was installed first and works fine..so far the 2 times i've booted into xp its asking to do a disk check, i skip it each time...should i let it do it's thing?
[02:28] <Robotnik> Thanks cdehaan, got it.
[02:28] <EdLin> shiester_miester: gparted's job is to resize partitions.
[02:28] <nerdygirl_ellie> to really resize an ext3 partition, you need something that moves all the crap to the beginning of the partition.
[02:28] <cdehaan> mhz`: THere is probably a way to tell it to stop and go away permanently, but if you let it do it's thing it shouldn't bother you again.
[02:28] <codecaine> its a format that my mp4 watch need to view movies on bit
[02:28] <Jordan_U> mhz`, Of course, but ##windows for windows support
[02:28] <shiester_miester> EdLin, can it safely and reliably resize ntfs partitions with little to no risk of data loss?
[02:28] <nerdygirl_ellie> but it doesn't exist afaik.
[02:28] <EdLin> nerdygirl_ellie: not so, ext3 partitions are very well defragged automatically
[02:28] <mhz`> cdehaan, i wasn't sure if was gonna go nuts about the partitions
[02:28] <mhz`> and wanna fix it
[02:28] <mhz`> then leading to messing up my ubuntu/partitons
[02:29] <EdLin> shiester_miester: if you have valuable data, always back up. Even if you don't resize partitions.
[02:29] <unagi> astro76: any ideas?
[02:29] <tomcommathe> I am having trouble with a Buffalo wireless card and Ubuntu... lshw shows that i have a card inserted, but I cannot get any response from it.. any ideas?
[02:29] <shiester_miester> codecaine, you might be able to, but mp4 is a proprietary format so you might not find a whole lot of stuff for it
[02:29] <shiester_miester> codecaine, but its definitely possible
[02:29] <astro76> unagi, and you do gdm restart in gnome terminal, not console?
[02:29] <Robotnik> So is it problematic to make smaller an ext3 partition?
[02:30] <EdLin> Robotnik: it depends upon which direction
[02:30] <Jordan_U> unagi, Make a script that sends the ctrl+alt+backspace keys :)
[02:30] <unagi> astro76: if i do gdm restart in terminal i have to bring up the console and retype it to get it back
[02:30] <cdehaan> mhz`: I doubt it... it should prompt before it does anything, in any case... I don't think dskchk will mess with partitions anyways.
[02:30] <unagi> Jordan_U: is that possible?
[02:30] <EdLin> Robotnik: simply making it smaller, keeping the beginning location identical, is no problem.
[02:30] <astro76> unagi, just tried on one of my PCs, it does the exact same thing, gdm restart from within gnome leaves it at the console
[02:30] <Jordan_U> unagi, Yes, it is a little absurd though :)
[02:30] <astro76> unagi, but gdm restart from console works properly
[02:30] <unagi> its nice to no im not crazy
[02:30] <nerdygirl_ellie> Poll:  How do you back up your system?
[02:30] <shiester_miester> unagi, its definitely possible :P
, ok, got it. That's what I;m looking to do. Thanks
[02:30] <Jordan_U> astro76, No, neither work
[02:30] <nerdygirl_ellie> I rsync my home directory to my web server.
[02:30] <unagi> awesome so lets discuss how to do that Jordan_U shiester_miester
[02:30] <Robotnik> Thanks for the help folks
[02:30] <shiester_miester> unagi, i have no idea
[02:30] <le1> robsomebody: I could see nothing in tail -f /var/log/httpd/error.log
[02:31] <nerdygirl_ellie> le1: keep it open and try to open your phpbb2 board.
[02:31] <mroc> i don't mean to sound impatient, but if someone can at least point me in the right direction, i'd appreciate it:  i'm getting some strange display glitches (which seem to happen at random).  where should i be looking for errors / anything specific to look for?
[02:31] <fxfitz> I recently installed Windows Vista on a small partition on my Ubuntu laptop. However, grub no longer pops up to let me boot back in to Ubuntu. How can I fix that?
[02:31] <shiester_miester> mroc, what kind of glitches
[02:31] <EdLin> /etc/init.d/gdm stop - that would be canonical (no pun intended)
[02:31] <pr4bh> hi guys, a quick question: what tool do i use to mount iso files?
[02:32] <nerdygirl_ellie> pr4bh: mount!
[02:32] <nerdygirl_ellie> :)
[02:32] <EdLin> pr4bh: mount can do it, "-o loop"
[02:32] <le1> robsomebody:I do it. But it still empty!
[02:32] <pr4bh> lol :)
[02:32] <unagi> anyone know how to make a script execute a keystroke>
[02:32] <pr4bh> cheers!
[02:32] <shiester_miester> pr4bh, or daemontools
[02:32] <Jordan_U> unagi, Do you know any python?
[02:32] <badkitty> fxfitz: you should have installed windows first and made life a whole lot easier
[02:32] <shiester_miester> daemontools works in linux too, you know
[02:32] <nerdygirl_ellie> pr4bh: man mount has an example.
[02:32] <le1> robsomebody:here http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/2571
[02:32] <unagi> what is python
[02:32] <astro76> fxfitz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[02:32] <shiester_miester> unagi, a programming langauge
[02:32] <Jordan_U> unagi, It is a programming language
[02:32] <fxfitz> badkitty, Trust me, having windows is always the LAST option. :-P
[02:32] <le1> nerdygirl_ellie: why don't you /query ??
[02:32] <shiester_miester> i win!
[02:33] <nerdygirl_ellie> what's /query?
[02:33] <mroc> shiester_miester: strange blank spaces in the screens (login and at the desktop), display won't refesh until i move the mouse over parts
[02:33] <fxfitz> astro76, Thanks!
[02:33] <badkitty> fxfitz: haha true, but it is a good idea to have a tiny partition dualboot for those rare occaisions, or atleast use vmware
[02:33] <le1> nerdygirl_ellie: :here http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/2571

[02:33] <FuM> How do I install wine on Ubuntu?
[02:34] <shiester_miester> FuM, sudo apt-get install wine

[02:34] <ubotu> FuM: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[02:34] <shiester_miester> well, that installs the "wine" package...you might have to install others too
[02:34] <le1> shiester_miester: here, http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/2571
[02:34] <mroc> shiester_miester: yes, compiz with plenty of the unstable plugins and such, but i don't have those set to run at startup.  i launch manually when i want cool stuff.  the problem is happening when i'm not running compositing stuff

[02:37] <mroc> shiester_miester: well, the cool compositing stuff went away (of course), and the output is [1]  8622

[02:41] <unagi> basically turning compositing off in ubuntu so i can run maya
[02:41] <shiester_miester> dsgsdg, dont be annoying
[02:41] <dsgsdg> ping
[02:41] <Tama00> bulmer: how can i do this? whats the commands
[02:41] <dsgsdg> please help
[02:41] <italianninja2> shiester_miester: the one you pasted
[02:41] <shiester_miester> italianninja2, how can sudo not be found :/ that cant be right
[02:41] <shiester_miester> its like a fundamental command
[02:41] <Tama00> bulmer: ive chrooted into my ubuntu install
[02:41] <shiester_miester> or maybe it means that /etc/init.d/gdm restart was not found
[02:41] <italianninja2> shiester_miester: /etc/init.d/gdm start
[02:42] <unagi> anyone know that command to fix where desktop effects doesnt spin anymore?
[02:42] <dsgsdg> I don't understand what this is in particular:
[02:42] <dsgsdg> ?
[02:42] <shiester_miester> italianninja2, try it with "restart" instead of "start"
[02:42] <bulmer> Tama00: try vim or nano to edit /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and remove the password field for the user
[02:42] <Tama00> bulmer: alright
[02:42] <Drk_Guy> !desktopeffects
[02:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about desktopeffects - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:42] <Tama00>  bulmer> Tama00: you can delete the password ie leave it without and see
[02:42] <Drk_Guy> !desktopfx
[02:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about desktopfx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:42] <nelsonuwp> shiester_miester: you know i meant panel backgrounds right, not just wallpapers
[02:42] <shiester_miester> dsgsdg, that pastebin is not useful at all
[02:42] <shiester_miester> nelsonuwp, no i didnt know that
[02:42] <italianninja2> shiester_miester: no doesnt work
[02:42] <Bulli> Hello is here somebody who can help me to install a plug-in for gimp?
[02:42] <shiester_miester> italianninja2, what does it say
[02:42] <Tama00> bulmer: should i remove the line of my user?
[02:43] <italianninja2> shiester_miester:command not found
[02:43] <Drk_Guy> Bulli, the #gimp channel can be more helpfull
[02:43] <nelsonuwp> shiester_miester: they do have some good wallpapers, but any idea where i can find just panel backgrounds?
[02:43] <shiester_miester> italianninja2, thats probably why you arent getting a gui
[02:43] <bulmer> Tama00: no, only the password field for that user
[02:43] <mroc> shiester_miester: probably began a couple weeks after a clean install of feisty.  i had dapper, upgraded to edgy, upgraded to early then final feisty.  it began on fiesty, and i did a clean install.  began happening again within a week or two of clean install.
[02:43] <koisoooo> hi there
[02:43] <shiester_miester> nelsonuwp, nope, i have all my panels transparent anyway
[02:43] <Tama00> Tama00: /etc/passwd doesnt have a password field
[02:43] <mroc> shiester_miester: ignore my first sentence there...it makes no sense with the rest of the comment.
[02:43] <happyface> How do I make a link on my desktop to the place "Computer" where it links all of my hard drives?
[02:43] <Drk_Guy> !symlink
[02:43] <koisoooo> i installed beryl, but i don't have any window decoration. do someone knows what's happening?
[02:43] <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
[02:43] <astro76> dsgsdg, what are you using to "browse" the cd?
[02:43] <orbisvicis> how can i mount a floppy read/write ?
[02:43] <italianninja2> shiester_miester: and that means? sorry im new to linux
[02:43] <shiester_miester> mroc, could be a bug in feisty
[02:44] <bulmer> Tama00: it does have it..look at the man pages
[02:44] <shiester_miester> italianninja2, gdm = gnome display manager = ubuntu's default gui
[02:44] <Drk_Guy> happyface, you can make some sort of symlink to...
[02:44] <Drk_Guy> My computer?
[02:44] <dsgsdg> you browse cd like cat /dev/cdrom right?
[02:44] <shiester_miester> italianninja2, if its not there, the gui doesnt exist at all, so it can't load
[02:44] <italianninja2> shiester_miester: so what do i do
[02:44] <shiester_miester> dsgsdg, no!
[02:44] <dsgsdg> oh
[02:44] <shiester_miester> dsgsdg, that opens the WHOLE cd as a binary file
[02:44] <happyface> Drk_Guy: if you go to Places>Computer at the top bar on Ubuntu... I want that on my Desktop
[02:44] <Tama00> bulmer: i think i found it in /etc/shadow
[02:45] <shiester_miester> dsgsdg, you open it the same way you open any directory
[02:45] <dsgsdg> oh ok
[02:45] <Tama00> bulmer: do i replace all the weird looking characters with a ! ?
[02:45] <hsimah`out> when i try and apt-get adobe flash player i get an error saying md5sum mismatch and it wont install.
[02:45] <dsgsdg> thanks
[02:45] <bulmer> Tama00: its the 2nd field of /etc/passwd
[02:45] <shiester_miester> dsgsdg, cat is to read the contents of files
[02:45] <mroc> shiester_miester: i guess, but where would this kind of error get reported?  in a logfile somewhere?    the age of the laptop made me think it was video ram dying, but i'd be much happier to find out it's a bug.
[02:45] <Drk_Guy> happyface, Ubuntu automatically creates links to all mounted drives in your desktop
[02:45] <shiester_miester> dsgsdg, what its doing is outputting the contents of the entire CD as text :P
[02:45] <bulmer> Tama00: leave it blank
[02:45] <Drk_Guy> Why do you want such rhing?
[02:45] <Drk_Guy> *thing
[02:45] <dsgsdg> lol oh oops
[02:45] <shiester_miester> mroc, if its a bug its not necessarily returning error messages at all
[02:45] <dsgsdg> thanks for clarifying
[02:45] <Tama00> bulmer: done but /etc/passwd doesnt have the same field in it
[02:45] <astro76> happyface, right click on desktop, select Creat Launcher...
[02:46] <bulmer> Tama00: its the 2nd field of /etc/passwd
[02:46] <happyface> Drk_Guy: Not all of them are there
[02:46] <diamondcutter> Alright, I just added a drive to my ubuntu box and formatted it using Partition Magic in DOS. Thing is, I don't have a copy of Windows any where and I'm getting mount errors about it needing a chkdsk. I ran ntfsfix, but apparently that tells it to run chkdsk.. Basically, I know the disk doesn't need checking and I just want to clear the stupid chkdsk flags so I can mount it without any trouble. Anyone help with this?
[02:46] <Tama00> bulmer: yeah theres an x there
[02:46] <Drk_Guy> Not all of them?
[02:46] <astro76> happyface, for command, enter nautilus computer:///
[02:46] <happyface> astro76: what is the command then?
[02:46] <happyface> thanks astro76
[02:46] <mroc> shiester_miester: ah, point taken.  anything i can do from here?  i don't know how to repeat it, and it seems way too vague to report as any kind of bug.
[02:46] <Drk_Guy> diamond cutter, have you tried gparted?
[02:46] <bulmer> Tama00: its the 2nd field of /etc/passwd <-- yes and it is x
[02:46] <shiester_miester> diamondcutter, why did you fomat it with partition magic in DOS :/ just use the partition editor on the ubuntu live cd, or gparted or something
[02:47] <Tama00> bulmer: okay i removed the x:P
[02:47] <Tama00> bulmer: that was ment to be a smiley face..
[02:47] <Drk_Guy> happyface, you can make a symlink to the "computer:///" route
[02:47] <shiester_miester> mroc, i have no idea.  you can possibly fix it by removing your video drivers :P but who wants to do that
[02:47] <Tama00> bulmer: anyways so now i can log in password-less?
[02:47] <Bulli> Drk_Guy havnt thought about, thx
[02:47] <diamondcutter> I was trying to find a good partitioner in ubuntu, but I couldn't find anything through Googling it.. Does the ubuntu live cd have a GUI partitioner?
[02:47] <Tama00> bulmer: can i try in my chrooted enviroment?
[02:47] <happyface> Drk_Guy: astro76 just told me that, thanks :)
[02:47] <Drk_Guy> 4  nothin
[02:47] <bulmer> Tama00: yes, sync and then reboot
[02:47] <shiester_miester> mroc, when it starts occurring, try that metacity --replace & command, and see if that helps
[02:47] <Drk_Guy> Ok
[02:47] <Tama00> bulmer: how do you sync?
[02:47] <bulmer> Tama00: not from chrooted
[02:48] <shiester_miester> diamondcutter, yes it does
[02:48] <astro76> diamondcutter, run dosfsck on the partition
[02:48] <bulmer> man sync
[02:48] <diamondcutter> Is it something I can just apt-get shiester_miester ?
[02:48] <Optimus55> i'm using ubuntu live cd, can i get drop shadows without having to restart?
[02:48] <Drk_Guy> diamondcutter, Gparted!
[02:48] <Drk_Guy> !gparted
[02:48] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[02:48] <shiester_miester> diamondcutter, you dont need to do that
[02:48] <shiester_miester> diamondcutter, its ON the live cd
[02:48] <BlendArt> does anyone know a good encryption program?
[02:48] <diamondcutter> Alright, just wondering if I had to reboot or I could just dl it.
[02:48] <Tama00> bulmer: alright.. i hope this works cause it takes me like 5 mins to boot this ubuntu live cd for some reason
[02:48] <Drk_Guy> !gparted > diamondcutter
[02:48] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, define "good"?
[02:48] <dsgsdg> uboto didn't work, ed@1[~] $  sudo apt-get install gparted 
[02:48] <dsgsdg> bash: : command not found
[02:49] <BlendArt> shiester_miester: working.
[02:49] <diamondcutter> So I'll give those two things a shot then.
[02:49] <mroc> shiester_miester: ok, thanks for your input, esp. since you seem busy with many conversations.  i might try asking around again later, see if someone else has some other ideas.      thanks again.
[02:49] <unagi> anyone know how to make a script execute a keystroke?
[02:49] <astro76> diamondcutter, you can install it too, but note partitions have to be unmounted to operate on them
[02:49] <bulmer> Tama00: well, you are attempting to recover a password.. :)
[02:49] <shiester_miester> dsgsdg, you dont need to install gparted, its part of ubuntu
[02:49] <Drk_Guy> Without the stuff
[02:49] <Drk_Guy> <<
[02:49] <sholeh> hii
[02:49] <Tama00> bulmer: wish me luck lol
[02:49] <shiester_miester> mroc, unfortunately i have no idea of how to fix your problem
[02:49] <Drk_Guy> diamondcutter, just type: gparted
[02:49] <koisoooo> hi there. i installed compiz, but when i use other window decoration rather than metacity, i have no window decoration. do someone have any clue on what's happening? thanks
[02:49] <Drk_Guy> Cioa
[02:49] <diamondcutter> alright
[02:49] <Drk_Guy> Gotta go
[02:49] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, how about: any
[02:49] <bulmer> i wish you
[02:49] <shiester_miester> gday sholeh
[02:49] <BlendArt> shiester_miester: yeah just any
[02:49] <Tama00> :)
[02:50] <sholeh> gday too
[02:50] <shiester_miester> koisoooo, yeah thats a common problem
[02:50] <diamondcutter> Says it's not installed. I'll apt-get in on the comp that needs it.
[02:50] <koisoooo> and what;s the solution? :p
[02:50] <watch_share_loca> ?
[02:50] <jrattner> Question: I just got home from college and my parents have set up a windows wireless printer using one of those linksys devices.  Is it possible for me to print on it from my ubuntu laptop wirelessly?
[02:50] <shiester_miester> koisoooo, except we dont provide support for that, so ask in #opencompositing, thats the channel for compiz
[02:50] <BlendArt> shiester_miester: are there any working ones?
[02:50] <koisoooo> thanks
[02:50] <shiester_miester> jrattner, yes it is
[02:50] <diamondcutter> Does compiz come with Feisty Fawn btw or is it some other compisitor for the desktop effects?
[02:50] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, of course there are
[02:50] <jrattner> shiester_miester, can you point me to some documentatin or somethign
[02:50] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, what particular type of encryption are you after
[02:51] <shiester_miester> jrattner, no, sorry, i dont know about it specifically
[02:51] <BlendArt> shiester_miester: super encryption
[02:51] <mroc> shiester_miester: yeah...me neither.  it's a tough one to describe and probably much harder to troubleshoot.  i appreciate the help though.  i'll try the metacity thing next time it happens, see what comes up.
[02:51] <BlendArt> shiester_miester: 1024 bit?
[02:51] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, thats unnecessary
[02:51] <koisoooo> shiester_miester, it was working fine before. but i messed with some stuff and it stopped working :x
[02:51] <badkitty> diamondcutter: not sure off hand, i know it has built in eye candy though.. are you looking at something like beryl???
[02:51] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, 128bit is more than enough for anything
[02:52] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, even then, its a little on the excessive side
[02:52] <astro76> jrattner, have you tried adding a printer from system->administration->printing ?
[02:52] <badkitty> diamondcutter: I think it is compiz, but don't quote me on that
[02:52] <shiester_miester> koisoooo, oh ok, well im not sure then.  did you try restarting the window decorator?
[02:52] <diamondcutter> I think beryl might be too intense for this laptop, I wanted to see if compiz was an option though since my custom window borders are having issues.
[02:52] <astro76> jrattner, most likely it will autodetect the printer on the network
[02:52] <koisoooo> shiester_miester, yes, i did...
[02:52] <jrattner> astro76, yeh it did not see it
[02:52] <shiester_miester> badkitty, yeah compiz/beryl/compiz-fusion are the main eye-candy apps
[02:52] <diamondcutter> Whenever I maximize a window, the title bar becomes completely white.
[02:52] <andre357> Hey all, I need help with running an executable file in the terminal.  I used the "./example", "sudo ./example", and "sh ./example" command but, nothing seems to work.  What am I doing wrong?
[02:52] <NemesisD> hi all im trying to mount a windows network share with samba and i'm getting mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock
[02:52] <shiester_miester> diamondcutter, yeah you need pretty good hardware to do the funky eye-candy stuff
[02:53] <BlendArt> shiester_miester: 256 at least
[02:53] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, what are you trying to do with the encryption?
[02:53] <diamondcutter> It works fine when the window is unmaximized
[02:53] <astro76> andre357, need to make it executable with chmod +x
[02:53] <BlendArt> shiester_miester: dont know testing reasons?
[02:53] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, you dont know?
[02:53] <badkitty> shiester_miester: ok cool, i bet he might be able to do some minimal stuff with what comes with feisty??
[02:53] <BlendArt> shiester_miester: seeing how big the files would be..
[02:53] <dsgsdg> blendart is in the cia :o
[02:53] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, much, much bigger
[02:53] <dsgsdg> :P
[02:53] <badkitty> shiester: do you know if the liveCD for feisty can do the eyecandy stuff? He could then try it out and see?
[02:54] <shiester_miester> dsgsdg, obviously not, since he doesnt know much about encryption :P
[02:54] <dsgsdg> lol
[02:54] <andre357> thanks astro76, can you give me an example. I am new to linux.
[02:54] <shiester_miester> badkitty, no it doesnt, and it wouldnt work anyway because you need graphics drivers installed for it to work properly
[02:54] <BlendArt> why would the CIA be here lol
[02:54] <astro76> andre357, chmod +x example
[02:54] <liorkamer> lol
[02:54] <meglo> BlendArt: anti capitalist activities
[02:54] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, there is an abundance of encryption software around
[02:54] <koisoooo> shiester_miester, what was the compiz channel?
[02:54] <italianninja2> anyone help me find out why ubuntu doesnt boot gui
[02:54] <badkitty> shiester: oic... hope his laptop has an nvidia card
[02:55] <shiester_miester> koisoooo, #opencompositing
[02:55] <Typwn> Does anyone know if Cedega has a localization command like wine does? (Wines being wineloc)?
[02:55] <unagi> anyone know how to make a script execute a keystroke?
[02:55] <dsgsdg> badkitty, in terminal do lspci and paste output
[02:55] <BlendArt> shiester_miester: really do you know any?
[02:55] <koisoooo> thanks :)
[02:55] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, it really depends on what you want.  if you want pretty much unbreakable, use md5 or sha1
[02:55] <badkitty> dsgsdg me? why?
[02:55] <gholm> hey all, when I type lspci, my vga card is unrecognised... it's a NVIDIA 8600GTS and I've install the latest drivers from nvidia site. Any suggestions? I'm on Feisty 7.04 AMD64
[02:55] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, and those are REALLY easy to use too, and actually make a really tiny result
[02:55] <dsgsdg> badkittyy, it would tell us what card you have
[02:55] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, md5 returns something like 32bits
[02:55] <dsgsdg> *badkitty
[02:55] <FruitLoop> I tried to do "sudo invoke-rc.d inetd stop" but the result was "invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/inetd not found." What have I forgotten/wasn't told to do?
[02:55] <n3rrd> I have MPD set up and running on port 6600.  I can't ocnnect to it from a computer behind the same router.  Does Ubuntu come with a firewall pre-installed?
[02:56] <dsgsdg> but first paste it to pastebin.com and then link to the pastebin here
[02:56] <JAyRULE> how do you enable connection sharing in ubuntu?  i have firestarter and dhcp installed.
[02:56] <badkitty> dsgsdg, oh no Im good I have mine working and I know the card.. i was talking about the other guy diamond cutter
[02:56] <dsgsdg> oh
[02:56] <dsgsdg> too many people...lol
[02:56] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, the only downside with those 2 are they are irreversible :P its impossible to get the data back, ever.  theyre called "one-way" encryption
[02:56] <BlendArt> shiester_miester: awesome
[02:56] <astro76> jrattner, what model print server?
[02:56] <badkitty> dsgsdg: thanks though :-) actually I just got beryl and twinviw working about 10 mins ago
[02:56] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, i assume you are after encryption where you can get the data back again? :P
[02:57] <BlendArt> shiester_miester: yep
[02:57] <dsgsdg> badkitty: np :)
[02:57] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, and unfortunately, that type is less secure
[02:57] <BlendArt> shiester_miester: what software do you know?
[02:57] <dsgsdg> shiester: you can crack md5 with a good rainbow table :)
[02:57] <FruitLoop> what am I missing/need to install?.. to avoid this - "invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/inetd not found."
[02:57] <mroc> JAyRULE: if you go to preferences --> network settings you should see a check box for "Enable Internet connection sharing"
[02:57] <italianninja2> this channel sucks for help
[02:57] <Typwn> Does anyone know if Cedega has a localization command like wine does? (Wines being wineloc). Please? Anyone?
[02:57] <shiester_miester> dsgsdg, true, but thats a brute-force style of attack
[02:57] <ant-> des
[02:58] <mroc> JAyRULE: sorry, do that within the firestarter gui
[02:58] <koisoooo> btw, how do i change my login screen? thanks
[02:58] <shiester_miester> dsgsdg, and also, you dont even know if what you got from it is the right result, because its possible for multiple different values to give the same md5 hash
[02:58] <ant-> koisoooo, are you running gnome?
[02:58] <koisoooo> yes
[02:58] <dsgsdg> shiester:oh, didn't know that
[02:58] <ant-> koisoooo, gdmsetup
[02:58] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, i dont know of any software
[02:58] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, but i know that there is a massive amount of it around
[02:59] <shiester_miester> just google it
[02:59] <koisoooo> thanks :)
[02:59] <jrattner> astro76, its a linksys printserver WPS54G hooked up to an HP printer
[02:59] <dsgsdg> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encryption
[02:59] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, also, your computer most likely wouldn't have the power to encrypt a useful amount of data beyond 128bit in a practical amount of time
[02:59] <FruitLoop> to change your login screen, unplug screen from back of your computer, then plug a different monitor in, or if you have a laptop or other built-in screen, then buy a new computer.
[03:00] <Optimus55> how do i get firestarter? apt-get ends with "Couldn't find package firestarter"
[03:00] <JAyRULE> mroc> yeah i tried that but im getting another error.  i have the internet connect device set to "unknown device (wifi0) and the local network connected device set to eth0.  when i try to start it, it fails.  the device wifi0 is not ready
[03:00] <shiester_miester> FruitLoop, hilarious
[03:00] <c2globalcom> A kind of annoying thing that happens, if you map a network drive using smb, and then put your laptop to sleep, when it awakes, system gets really unstable.
[03:00] <unagi> anyone know how to make a script execute a keystroke?
[03:00] <dsgsdg> optimus55: try apt-cache search firestarter to find the package name,. it's likely slightly different then expected
[03:00] <astro76> jrattner, in add printer select Network Printer -> IPP Printer, for URI enter the following: ip_address:631/ipp/P1
[03:00] <unagi> anyone know a camera tracking program for linux?
[03:00] <Tama00> bulmer: it didnt work :(:(:(
[03:00] <astro76> jrattner, where ip_address is the IP of the prnt server
[03:00] <jrattner> astro76, is that set up generally the same for kubuntu aswell?
[03:00] <n3rrd> does ubuntu come with a pre-installed firewall?  I can't connect to MPD on my Ubuntu machine remotely.
[03:01] <mroc> JAyRULE: what else is in the list? (aside from wifi0)
[03:01] <shiester_miester> unagi, there are some open-source ones, i think, you can probably find them and compile them for ubuntu
[03:01] <bspencer_> I'm probably repeating something, but the flashplugin_nonfree package (adobe flash in gutsy multiverse) doesn't work.
[03:01] <shiester_miester> n3rrd, yes it does
[03:01] <LucianIndy> for christ sake... thought something was messed up when i couldn't alt+f2 to run dialog and its the friggin F-Lock key.
[03:01] <JAyRULE> mroc> atho
[03:01] <cafuego> n3rrd: Yes, but there are no preloaded firewall rules. If you can't connect, in all likelyhood mpd isn't running.
[03:01] <bspencer_> perhaps adobe updated their download
[03:01] <Tama00> bspencer_: i found that too, fails on md5sum aye
[03:01] <mroc> JAyRULE:  try that.
[03:01] <bspencer_> right
[03:01] <unagi> i used voodoo but the menus are hard to read and im not sure i can delete tracking points
[03:01] <unagi> i should look and see
[03:01] <ag0g0girl>  any powerpc people in here?
[03:01] <Optimus55> dsgsdg: nothing happens
[03:01] <bspencer_> Tama00, who updates that?
[03:01] <n3rrd> cafuego, it is running bceause I can connect to it locally with ncmpc
[03:01] <JAyRULE> mroc> it does the same thing
[03:01] <BlendArt> shiester_miester:ccrypt
[03:01] <astro76> jrattner, I don't know, the URI will be the same however you add it
[03:01] <Tama00> bspencer_: not sure
[03:02] <jrattner> astro76, great thanks
[03:02] <shiester_miester> BlendArt, what about it?
[03:02] <cafuego> n3rrd: Is it self to listen on the external network interface?
[03:02] <FruitLoop> I've got a cat on my lap? Is that going to affect the response time to my question?
[03:02] <JAyRULE> the device ___ is not ready.  please check your network device settings and make sure your internet connection is active
[03:02] <JAyRULE> mroc>
[03:02] <n3rrd> that's a ogod question, cafuego.
[03:02] <mroc> JAyRULE: do you connect to the internet using the ath0 wireless card?  and does that work properly?
[03:02] <shiester_miester> FruitLoop, sometimes when my cat sits on my lap she interferes with my typing, so yes :P
[03:03] <Tama00> where does ubuntu keep the install default settings cause during an update i found some of the settings eg hostname n stuff have come back
[03:03] <unagi> is there a linux program close to premiere?
[03:03] <Optimus55> is it even possible to run firestarter with the live CD?
[03:03] <FruitLoop> Anyway.. what to I need to install to avoid this "invoke-rc.d: unknown initscript, /etc/init.d/inetd not found."?
[03:03] <JAyRULE> mroc> im connected via a wireless card, which i assume was wifi0
[03:04] <WhoNeedszzz> hello all, i mapped my drive to my lappy and i accidentally deleted my home directory's files, how do i set up the Desktop link?
[03:04] <astro76> FruitLoop, are you sure inetd is installed?
[03:04] <ag0g0girl> is there anyway I can find updates that didn't go well the first time?  I got some wierd messages but those updates are no longer in my update manager
[03:04] <n3rrd> cafuego, would that be eth0?
[03:04] <LucianIndy> Optimus55, i dont think firestarter is included on the CD. It's something you have to install and im not sure if that is possible on a live cd since it 'doesn't effect your hard drive'
[03:04] <mroc> JAyRULE: right click on the NetworkManager icon in the system tray area, choose connection information.   what does the Interface line say?
[03:04] <FruitLoop> astro76: um.. no.
[03:05] <JAyRULE> mroc> i just reinstalled the system and it acts strange.  i set up the resolution and it changes everytime i boot
[03:05] <FruitLoop> astro76: stupid howto never mentioned anything about installing that....
[03:05] <JAyRULE> mroc> AHHHHHhhhhh.... yeah.  it is ath0

[03:05] <astro76> FruitLoop, package name is xinetd
[03:05] <FruitLoop> astro76: ok, thanks.
[03:05] <ant-> Optimus55, you can install anything from live cd, but when you restart your computer it wont be there

[03:06] <WhoNeedszzz> all my config files are gone from my home dir...
[03:07] <WhoNeedszzz> i need help people
[03:07] <moroki_att> When the new Ubuntu comes out...will the Updater take care of things?
[03:07] <JAyRULE> mroc> yeah.  i dont know why i cant start the firewall
[03:07] <Flannel> WhoNeedszzz: `mkdir ~/Desktop` will recreate your desktop directory
[03:07] <JAyRULE> mroc> ... when the connection is fine
[03:07] <WhoNeedszzz> and it knows what to do with that?
[03:07] <mroc> JAyRULE: the wireless connection is up and running (and connected) just fine?
[03:08] <Tama00> moroki_att: lets just hope it does cause the updater just killed my ubuntu:(
[03:08] <Optimus55> ant-: ok. but to download it, it says to use sudo apt-get install firestarter. once i do that it bums out at "couldnt find package firestarter"
[03:08] <unagi> anyone know how to make a script execute a keystroke?
[03:08] <JAyRULE> mroc> yeah.  thats how i am logged onto irc
[03:08] <Flannel> WhoNeedszzz: If you're worried about ~ being funky, `mkdir /home/username/Desktop`  (where username is your username)
[03:08] <WhoNeedszzz> Flannel, not a problem
[03:08] <moroki_att> Tama00: : hmmmm . that is unusual
[03:08] <WhoNeedszzz> but i do have a problem that all my .* files are gone
[03:08] <Spaceman3750> I'm finally getting used to the terminal
[03:08] <Tama00> moroki_att: yes now i cant log in for some reason:@:@
[03:09] <Spaceman3750> and apt-get
[03:09] <RGautier> Whats a good Media organizer for network filestore - I want something that will store its library file in the same network dir as the media and be loadable from any Linux box (and maybe even WIndows box) that I happen to load up
[03:09] <Flannel> WhoNeedszzz: That's no problem.  They'll be recreated as they're used.
[03:09] <doc_lolliday> ok, I'm having trouble streaming .mov files on feisty fawn.  VLC will start playing a URL, but then will immediately crash with no error message.  I have the gstreamer package installed.  any ideas?
[03:09] <Flannel> WhoNeedszzz: of course, your configurations are gone, but the files themselves will regenerate

[03:09] <Tama00> doc_lolliday: fire up vlc from the command line and open the url then it will tell you why it crashed
[03:10] <doc_lolliday> Tama00: cool, I'll give it a shot
[03:10] <nerdygirl_ellie> I'm back!  Did you miss me?
[03:10] <WhoNeedszzz> so much work....gone.....just gone
[03:10] <Tama00> WhoNeedszzz: i know how you feel
[03:10] <Tama00> so many password files just not accepting my password
[03:10] <Tama00> so many lifes lost trying to recover my password
[03:10] <mroc> JAyRULE: hm.  well, this may be beyond my rather limited linux abilities.  try setting the proper settings in firestarter and restarting it?  i don't know if that'll actually help or not.  (i know it's a frontend to iptables, and i don't know how to restart that specifically, so you might just need to restart the machine and see if that helps)
[03:11] <cafuego> n3rrd: usually ethX or athX... you can check with `netstat' - see if mpd is listening on 0.0.0.0:port
[03:11] <Tama00> so many tears shed as i plowed through the file system to reset my password
[03:11] <nerdygirl_ellie> ag0g0girl: Hi.  there should be an apt log in /var/log
[03:11] <Tama00> i understand brother... i understand
[03:11] <ztomic> how do you load a module to replace an automatically loaded module? ex: I want to replace snd_ca0106 with snd_emu10k1.
[03:11] <JAyRULE> mroc> oh .. aight.  thanks for your help. yeah this is the second time i came here for the same problem and i cant see to solve ti

[03:12] <nerdygirl_ellie> Tama00: are you still locked out?
[03:12] <mroc> JAyRULE: sorry i couldn't help more.    and it sounded like an easy question that i could actually answer.
[03:12] <nerdygirl_ellie> JAyRULE: What's broke?

[03:13] <WhoNeedszzz> Tama00, i hope to god you aren't being sarcastic

[03:13] <leperkhanz> I need to change that.

[03:13] <JAyRULE> mroc> all good.  thanks for giving it a shot.  nerdygirl_ellie> i cant seem to start my firewall (firestarter). ultimately, im trying to get internet connection sharing enabled
[03:13] <nerdygirl_ellie> Tama00: do you have a livecd or ?  what type of access do you have to the box?
[03:14] <Tama00> nerdygirl_ellie: im on the live cd now
[03:14] <nerdygirl_ellie> JAyRULE: I won't even try. :)
[03:14] <Bonz> Can anyone help me? I have beryl-xgl installed and my window manager doesn't work :x.  I keep getting this:  card and I know its not really supported.  I get everything to work fine but my window manager doesn't.  I get this message beryl-xgl: decoration: property ignored because version is 20070319 and decoration plugin version is 20061011
[03:14] <bulmer> Tama00: which user did you modify to remove that password?
[03:14] <astro76> JAyRULE, try this: sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart
[03:14] <JAyRULE> nerdygirl_ellie> wont even try to get firewall starter? or get internet connection sharing?
[03:14] <nerdygirl_ellie> Tama00: does chroot mean anything to you?
[03:14] <Tama00> bulmer: root
[03:14] <Tama00> nerdygirl_ellie: im already chrooted into my ubuntu install
[03:15] <JAyRULE> astro76> that would kick me out of the channel, right?
[03:15] <nerdygirl_ellie> oh, cool.  are you the superuser?
[03:15] <leperkhanz> where is the gui to change rights to my hard drives?

[03:15] <leperkhanz> I can right click select properties, but it's not letting me change the rights.
[03:15] <leperkhanz> or giving me the option to enter my password.
[03:15] <badkitty> Bonz: Pm me
[03:15] <astro76> badkitty, you're probably fishing for a gui client, try gftp
[03:16] <JAyRULE> astro76> 'cause ive already tried to restart and tried again, with no such luck
[03:16] <nomasteryoda> !Portuguese
[03:16] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[03:16] <Tama00> bulmer: root has an x in the 2nd field
[03:16] <astro76> JAyRULE, ok then that won't help either
[03:16] <bulmer> Tama00: i thought you said you removed it?
[03:16] <badkitty> astro: yah but i didn't like gftp cause i cant use hex to chmod its click for file permissions, i'd rather use 777, 755 etc
[03:16] <bulmer> why is it still x ?
[03:16] <leperkhanz> anyone got a link to a faq where this is addressed?
[03:16] <Tama00> bulmer: i removed it for my user not the root user
[03:16] <nerdygirl_ellie> Tama00: If I were me, I would  sudo -i, and then chroot to the hard drive, then type passwd someuser where someuser is your normal 'buntu username
[03:16] <Jsp_> please anyone, A guide im using to triboot a macbook says    6.Bootoff live cd (ubuntu)  7.install refit.deb 8.install ubuntu    How do i Install refit.deb, and how do i do it while booting off the live cd?
[03:17] <badkitty> Bonz: did you make sure you have windows decorating on in the beryl settings manager?

[03:17] <Tama00> nerdygirl_ellie: yeah i did that it didnt work..
[03:17] <Tama00> bulmer: my own lol
[03:17] <nerdygirl_ellie> Tama00: and the passwd utility would do all the fiddling in /etc/passwd and /etc/passwd.
[03:17] <Tama00> nerdygirl_ellie: it seams to only do it in one of the two files i think
[03:17] <nerdygirl_ellie> ... err shadow
[03:17] <Pelo> nelsonuwp,  just make your own , it's just a bit of png file

[03:18] <Pelo> nelsonuwp, that's all I have for you,  it's too little a thing for ppl to make loads of them , but you can always load full gtk themes on www.gnome-look.org
[03:18] <Tama00> nerdygirl_ellie: bulmer i think i got it working now..
[03:18] <Optimus55> firestarter doesnt even want to install, i cant find it

[03:20] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: no, trying that now
[03:21] <ToastMaster> I need some help installing. Can some one give me a couple minutes to ask basic install quesions?
[03:21] <badkitty> Bonz: You dont have emerald installed?
[03:21] <Warbo> ToastMaster: Go ahead, I'll try
[03:21] <Pelo> ToastMaster,  just ask and if someone can anser they will try
[03:21] <Bonz> badkitty: Yes I do...I do believe

[03:21] <ToastMaster> At Ubuntu.com and downloaded a ISO, burned it, and tried booting
[03:21] <Bonz> badkitty: But when I reload the window manager it gives me that message saying the plugin is an older version or something
[03:21] <badkitty> Bonz.. try this real quick: sudo apt-get install beryl-manager
[03:21] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: well it started doing something.... whats that supposed to be??
[03:21] <ToastMaster> I tried thos places
[03:22] <ToastMaster> in fact...
[03:22] <Fezzler> I was having trouble getting Firefox to work with Java and Flashplayer yesterday.  I figured part of it out but need some more gray matter for final push
[03:22] <ToastMaster> I got this error  sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
[03:22] <Pelo> ToastMaster, did you burn the iso as data or did you burn "image to cd"
[03:22] <Bonz> badkitty: Nothing, says I have the newest version
[03:22] <ToastMaster> The website said: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=94250&highlight=job+control+turned

[03:22] <sholeh> how to run file .swf
[03:22] <ToastMaster> I got lost in the jargon
[03:22] <Bonz> badkitty: Nope ATI...
[03:22] <ToastMaster> Ya I burned it to a CD
[03:22] <LucianIndy> Fezzler, open terminal and type-> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
[03:22] <badkitty> Bonz: ahh crap....
[03:23] <Pelo> ToastMaster, you need to burn "image"
[03:23] <LucianIndy> that will get java running in firefox
[03:23] <Bonz> badkitty: I know there has been lots of problems I've read a lot about it.  But you see it all works...except this
[03:23] <Fezzler> I got it working by adding in the firefoxrc file FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"  I also reinstalled alsa-oss.  But what really seemed to make it work was issuing the command "killall esd"
[03:23] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: whats the apt-get update supposed to do?
[03:23] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: it looks like its downloading a bunch of stuff
[03:23] <Bonz> badkitty, I'm sorry It's "window decorator" not window manager
[03:23] <Pelo> later dudes and dudettes
[03:23] <Tama00> bulmer, haha i know what happend!
[03:23] <Fezzler> The problem now is Firefox will play one clip and then freeze.  Getting closer but not sure what to do now.  Ideas?
[03:24] <Bonz> badkitty: beryl-xgl: decoration: property ignored because version is 20070319 and decoration plugin version is 20061011
[03:24] <LucianIndy> Optimus55, its checking the sources
[03:24] <Bonz> decoration is the newest version but the decoration plugin isn't?
[03:24] <badkitty> Bonz: try this in the terminal: emerald --replace
[03:24] <leperkhan1> How do I log into nautilus as root?
[03:24] <Tama00> bulmer, when i installed ubuntu i installed it to an empty parition and then copied it to my software raid cause i was to lazy to get the alternative cd right
[03:24] <Bonz> Same message badkitty
[03:24] <LucianIndy> leperkhan1, alt+f2 and type gksudo nautilus
[03:24] <facugaich> leperkhan1: gksudo nautilus
[03:24] <Flannel> leperkhan1: `gksu nautilus` and close it as soon as you're done with admin stuffs
[03:24] <JAyRULE> mroc didnt work
[03:25] <Tama00> bulmer, and when i did the updates it changed my grub config and made it boot off the other drive instead of my software raid
[03:25] <Fezzler> Indy:  Thanks.  flashplayer and java seem to be working.  I think it is another setting.  Also notice sound and video is slighly out of sync
[03:25] <Tama00> which explains why my hostname and resolution changed lol
[03:25] <nerdygirl_ellie> sholeh: that is a flash file.  you need flash
[03:25] <Tama00> hahah that was fun for a bit
[03:25] <ToastMaster> any ideas?
[03:25] <mroc> JAyRULE: sorry - i'm out of ideas.  maybe someone else can jump in and take over.   good luck
[03:25] <badkitty> Bonz: hmm I wonder, when you open emerald, can you choose another theme, and another windows decorator?
[03:25] <leperkhan1> cool.
[03:25] <leperkhan1> thanks.
[03:25] <JAyRULE> mroc> ehhe...coo thanks
[03:25] <nerdygirl_ellie> Optimus55: when it finishes, it should be apt-get firestarter able.
[03:25] <astro76> leperkhan1, even better, install nautilus-gksu, then you can right click in Nautilus and select Open as administrator
[03:26] <badkitty> Bonz: I mean, I wonder if you use a different engine?
[03:26] <Bonz> badkitty: I can select different themes and such
[03:26] <Bonz> badkitty: but nothing happens
[03:27] <Optimus55> nerdygirl_ellie: hmm okay. its reached like the 9 package its downloading....
[03:27] <badkitty> bonz: and there is no decoration at all?
[03:27] <Bonz> badkitty: No decoration at all around any windows, no matter what I choose
[03:27] <Tama00> nerdygirl_ellie, yup it was my own stupid fault as always
[03:27] <Bonz> badkitty: how do I get a newer version I guess?
[03:27] <badkitty> But only when beryl is ran correct?
[03:28] <Bonz> Well, yes I guess, I can go back to the metacity or something
[03:28] <nerdygirl_ellie> hehe.  I always make a second account after I install.  Lesson learned the very very hard way.
[03:28] <badkitty> bonz: I mean if you aren't running beryl, does the decorator work?
[03:28] <Tama00> :(
[03:29] <Bonz> badkitty: I don't know, I don't know much about this can I just close beryl and keep emerald?
[03:29] <nerdygirl_ellie> Tama00: Right now you can't login to my server at work if ldap goes down.  anybody want to take a stab at that?  I'd like passwd authentication to backup ldap for ssh in pam.
[03:29] <FruitLoop> is the full-stop required at the end of " Enable the tftpd server. Add the following as /etc/xinet.d/tftp." ...or is that just the end of the sentence and I should create file named just "tftp" instead, without a trailing "."?
[03:29] <JFreak> hello everybody again
[03:29] <Tama00> nerdygirl_ellie, whatever that is lol
[03:29] <badkitty> Bonz: You could do that, but you want beryl and cool eye andy yes?
[03:29] <nerdygirl_ellie> FruitLoop: remove the trailing .
[03:29] <Mike22> hey, im on windows right now. switching from ubuntu. and i need to recover my files from the ext3 partition, any ideas how i can do this in windows?
[03:29] <JFreak> can somebody tell me some page where can i put some screen shot to show some problem ?
[03:29] <Bonz> badkitty: Yes.  Ok I selected Metacity from the window manager list.  I now have windows :P But still no decoration
[03:29] <badkitty> Bonz: Plus you may have to reload X in order to get the decorator working w/o beryl
[03:30] <Bonz> oktanouc, badkitty...I will be right back
[03:30] <Bonz> o.O
[03:30] <Bonz> oktanouc, brb

[03:31] <Bonz> badkitty: How do I modify the xorg.conf  Everytime it says read only I can't do it...I know I'm a n00b
[03:31] <nerdygirl_ellie> Bonz: make a backup.  then gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:31] <Bonz> Ahh
[03:31] <Bonz> thx
[03:32] <JFreak> anybody know some page where i can put some screenshot to show a desktop problem ?
[03:32] <badkitty> Bonz: np me too. first thing you want to do is make a copy: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup
[03:32] <Bonz> This is for nVidia >.>

[03:32] <ztomic> if snd_emu10k1 loads without errors, whats the easiest way to NOT load snd_ca0106 and load snd_emu10k1?
[03:32] <facugaich> JFreak: imageshack.us
[03:32] <Bonz> I thought composite was supposed to be "disabled"?
[03:32] <nerdygirl_ellie> Bonz: have you tried the linux-restricted-modules nvidia driver?
[03:32] <badkitty> Bonz: Yah but the config probably has the same settings as nvidia, just with a different driver
[03:32] <Bonz> nerdygirl_ellie: I have ATI
[03:33] <badkitty> Bonz: After you do that you put in the root password and it should make a backup of your xorg.conf
[03:33] <conorkirkpatrick> Hi
[03:33] <JFreak> thks a lot facugaich
[03:33] <nerdygirl_ellie> ztomic: put snd_ca0106 in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and then create a file in there for snd_umu10k1
[03:33] <nerdygirl_ellie> Bonz: sorry about that, I misread.  Good luck.
[03:33] <badkitty> nerdygirl: he has an ATI card
[03:33] <ssn> hi
[03:33] <ssn> is there a default firewall running in ubuntu-server?
[03:34] <Flannel> !firewall | ssn
[03:34] <ubotu> ssn: 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).
[03:34] <conorkirkpatrick> Is ubuntu a good choice for an Open source game console?
[03:34] <nerdygirl_ellie> ssn: the iptables module is usually, sometimes, loaded.  firestarter is a gui to configure it, and is available from apt.
[03:34] <conorkirkpatrick> It won'
[03:34] <Mike22> nerdygirl_ellie, hanks, works great.
[03:34] <conorkirkpatrick> tot wont startup a desktop manager
[03:34] <conorkirkpatrick> just a custom interface
[03:35] <FruitLoop> on this page - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot - where it talks about enabling the tftpd server, is it supposed to have the "172.31.0.242" where they have put "172.31.0.240"? Or have they just pulled a new IP number out of thin air with no explanation?
[03:35] <badkitty> Bonz: did you want to atleast look at your settings and see if things are as they should be according to the nvidia setup, or do you want to try and see if there is a way to update a plugin? Did you try the usual sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade?
[03:35] <nerdygirl_ellie> conorkirkpatrick: Imho, yes.  Because you can throw a hundred games on it just from apt.
[03:35] <KI4IKL> When I'm doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (or w/e it is)...when it asks me to select the themouse source (like /dev/input/mouse) how do I find what woudl be a usb mouse?
[03:35] <Bonz> badkitty: yes I did the usual update and upgrade a few times and its complete
[03:35] <Bonz> badkitty: but its a plugin that is out of date.  It is dated 10/11/2006 but I guess thats emerald?
[03:35] <badkitty> Bonz: do you have the beryl third party repositories added in your sources.list?
[03:35] <milllmannn> ? anyone here gotten PHP5, Rails, Apache and Mongrell_Cluster setup on Dapper?
[03:36] <Bonz> badkitty let me check
[03:36] <badkitty> Bonz: if not, it could have an update that you aren't seeing
[03:36] <nerdygirl_ellie> milllmannn: Do you know anyone that's looking for a sysadmin that can do that in an afternoon?
[03:36] <Bonz> badkitty: I have ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ feisty main
[03:36] <badkitty> milllman nope sorry.. setting up a lamp server is easy as pie if you download the iso
[03:37] <deaincaelo>  nightstar
[03:37] <milllmannn> nerdygirl_ellie: No, but im trying to setup my VPS like that
[03:37] <ryanakca> How do I fix this? : ls: reading directory /media/floppy0/: Input/output error
[03:37] <conorkirkpatrick> nerdygirl_ellie: we are running our own custom interface that we just started (http://weeflee.net) and we want to be able to optimize it to run and boot fairly fast
[03:37] <Bonz> badkitty: can you tell me where the sources.list is again? :x
[03:37] <fiXXXerMet> I'm having some trouble installing gcc 4.2.0 (source) - getting errors.  Could anyone take a look?  http://www.ladyada.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=15508#15508
[03:37] <ztomic> nerdygirl_ellie: ok, I blacklisted snd_ca0106. tell me the next step again,  "create a file.." be more specific.
[03:38] <badkitty> Bonz: I believe etc/apt ...
[03:38] <milllmannn> nerdygirl_ellie: do you know how?
[03:38] <nerdygirl_ellie> conorkirkpatrick: if you have control of the hardware, there is a linuxbios that will drop into an x session in 3 seconds.
[03:38] <badkitty> Bonz: yes /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:38] <nerdygirl_ellie> milllmannn: Except for mongrell.
[03:38] <Bonz> badkitty: thx
[03:38] <spikeb> anyone know how to fix this: "current dist not found in meta-release file" when running update manager?
[03:38] <milllmannn> nerdygirl_ellie: how do you serve rails apps?
[03:38] <Flannel> spikeb: For Feisty to gutsy?
[03:39] <spikeb> yeah Flannel
[03:39] <conorkirkpatrick> nerdygirl_ellie: so you could reflash it? I am a little weary about reflashing, but it is just an old computer
[03:39] <badkitty> Bonz: You can always use the system-admin-software sources too .. but the text file is way better
[03:39] <Flannel> spikeb: #ubuntu+1 for gutsy support (that'd be a gutsy based question)
[03:39] <ssn> nerdygirl_ellie: i know, but i cannot connect to my ubuntu-server box via ssh and i dont know why :D
[03:39] <FruitLoop> Ug! Ug! Grunt! Grunt! Ugh! on this page - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot - where it talks about enabling the tftpd server, is it supposed to have the "172.31.0.242" where they have put "172.31.0.240"? Or have they just pulled a new IP number out of thin air with no explanation? Snort! Snort! Grunt! Ug!
[03:39] <spikeb> good point. heh.
[03:40] <elidyros> Hello
[03:40] <Bonz> badkitty: Hmm, was that the right directory? That sources.list was empty
[03:40] <Bonz> I use gedit to open it right?
[03:40] <nerdygirl_ellie> yes, when you go into production.  then all you'd need on the drive is the apps.  with the bonus that the user couldn't break x!
[03:40] <Flannel> Bonz: what command did you use?
[03:40] <Bonz> Sorry guys, sorry guys...angry windows user wanting to switch
[03:40] <Bonz> xD
[03:40] <badkitty> Bonz: you probably mistyped it
[03:40] <Bonz> it opened in gedit
[03:40] <ztomic> nerdygirl_ellie: could I not put the module in an existing file in there?
[03:41] <Flannel> Bonz: it's case sensitive.  However, once you opened gedit, you can just file > open and navigate to it
[03:41] <nerdygirl_ellie> ztomic: sure.  pick one that looks appropriate,  :)
[03:41] <Bonz> fedit etc/apt/sources.list
[03:41] <conorkirkpatrick> nerdygirl_ellie: the problem is the first beta console is just an old Dell, and I don't think linuxbios would support a OEM board like that, would it? Oh, and we aren't planning anything big, not any real proudction
[03:41] <Bonz> gedit*
[03:41] <astro76> FruitLoop, it's .240 because that line specifies a whole subnet
[03:41] <Flannel> Bonz: /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:41] <elidyros> I'm new Ubuntu user, and I got some problem with my keyboard, can someone give some help please ?
[03:41] <nerdygirl_ellie> ssn:  I lost you.
[03:41] <nerdygirl_ellie> elidyros: what type of problems?
[03:41] <nerdygirl_ellie> !ask
[03:41] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:41] <badkitty> flannel: good observation
[03:42] <nerdygirl_ellie> elidyros: is it bluetooth, or one of those 200 button contraptions? :D
[03:42] <badkitty> elidyros just say what you need help with
[03:42] <Bonz> badkitty, I have deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ feisty main as a source, but thats it
[03:42] <ztomic> nerdygirl_ellie: lets pick /etc/modprobe/alsa-base. Do you know what the line shoud read?
[03:42] <Bonz> badkitty: do you know of another source I might need for the update?
[03:42] <Flannel> Bonz: Which update?  (checks backlog)
[03:43] <elidyros> In fact I got a laptop, but I also use USB keyboard to type in Japanese, 109 keys Keyboard, and some of the keys does not work, I tried a lot of settings but still no change...
[03:43] <Bonz> Flannel: beryl-xgl: decoration: property ignored because version is 20070319 and decoration plugin version is 20061011
[03:43] <FruitLoop> astro76: ok.. so in my case i would replace with ???? my network is 192.168.1.??? and what is the /28 at the end of the line for?
[03:43] <elidyros> It is a japanese keyboard
[03:43] <nerdygirl_ellie> ztomic: it should be something like alias (your sound device) (the driver you want to use)
[03:43] <Bonz> Flannel: beryl window manager works (as far as I know) but the decoration manager doesn't
[03:43] <Flannel> Bonz: ah, I have no idea re: eye candy
[03:44] <Bonz> Flannel yes xD
[03:44] <Bonz> Flannel, I don't need it but I kinda want it
[03:44] <astro76> FruitLoop, it's the number of bits in the netmask (equivalent to 255.255.255.240)
[03:44] <Flannel> Bonz: have you tried asking in #ubuntu-effects? or #beryl?
[03:44] <milllmannn> Do i even need PHP installed on my VPS if im developing in rails?
[03:44] <Bonz> Hmm nope :x
[03:44] <astro76> FruitLoop, you can use 192.168.1.0/24
[03:44] <conorkirkpatrick> #ubuntu-effects
[03:44] <conorkirkpatrick> oops
[03:44] <nerdygirl_ellie> ztomic: another minute.
[03:44] <philc> is it possible to do a negative grep? e.g. "filter out everything that matches x"
[03:44] <JFreak> hello, i'm recently install beryl and works good for me, but for some reason just the main desktop, the other 3 sides of the cube i have problem with the windows, here is a image: http://img365.imageshack.us/my.php?image=berylproblemxz4.png maybe somebody can help me
[03:44] <badkitty> Bonz: Im not sure if you have to have another repo...
[03:45] <elidyros> I when I try to set new shortcuts in Anthy, the special keys make no effect
[03:45] <astro76> FruitLoop, that means 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254
[03:45] <PurpZeY> Can someone help me out, I am trying to compile a program and it is telling me No "OpenGL Library Could be found" by I am running beryl, so I have to have some sort of GL, don't I?
[03:45] <Bonz> badkitty Ok, I shall go to #beryl and maybe be back :P
[03:45] <nerdygirl_ellie> philc: grep -v yada
[03:45] <Flannel> philc: You can modify the regexp to just match everything else, or you can use -v
[03:45] <ryanakca> How do I fix this? : ls: reading directory /media/floppy0/: Input/output error
[03:45] <Bonz> badkitty, Flannel...Thanks for your help :)
[03:45] <badkitty> Bonz: Ok, also check this repository it might have it? http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/dists/feisty/eyecandy/index.html
[03:45] <Bonz> Ahh ok
[03:45] <philc> nerdygirl_ellie: thanks!
[03:45] <nerdygirl_ellie> ztomic, I can't find what to alias that to.  sorry. :)
[03:46] <badkitty> Bonz: No problem, the guys in #beryl may be able to help you too.. but try trevinos repository iff your still having problems
[03:46] <Bonz> badkitty is that trevinos repository?
[03:46] <ztomic> nerdygirl_ellie: this is funny. I have snd_ca0106 loading but I see snd_emu10k1 in that file. problem is that I get no sound with jack.
[03:46] <nerdygirl_ellie> ztomic: the other way to fix it is to add 'modprobe .... ' to your /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99local  where ... is the one you want to load.
[03:46] <elidyros> I tried to find informations on the Japanese Ubuntu community website and I found nothing
[03:46] <SlimG2> how do I change a displays pictureplacement/picturewitdh/pictureheight/pictureshape of a CRT display that lacks OnScreenDisplay menu (apple studio display)?
[03:46] <badkitty> Bonz: it is a link to his page and he has his repo's on there
[03:46] <Bonz> badkitty thanks :)
[03:47] <badkitty> Does anyone know a good GUI ftp program other than gftp for ubuntu? I want something where i can chmod using hex instead of clicking for the file permissions
[03:47] <badkitty> Bonz: np :-)
[03:47] <Flannel> elidyros: You might also try #ubuntu-jp
[03:47] <mhz`> in hex?
[03:47] <mhz`> you're brave :/
[03:47] <FruitLoop> astro76: ok, but my network starts from 192.168.1.64, so I would put 192.168.1.64/24 - is that right?
[03:47] <mhz`> why not do it the easy way?
[03:47] <nerdygirl_ellie> mhz he means octal
[03:48] <nerdygirl_ellie> mhz`: like 777 etc.
[03:48] <elidyros> OK I'll do that
[03:48] <badkitty> mhz: well octal I mean
[03:48] <elidyros> Thanks
[03:48] <mhz`> hmm, trying to think
[03:48] <badkitty> nerdygirl: yah you got it
[03:48] <mhz`> google.com is your friend? :P
[03:48] <FruitLoop> is google.com my friend too?
[03:48] <mhz`> nope
[03:49] <mhz`> only kitty's
[03:49] <MrXorg> Can anyone tell me where my fonts are stored?
[03:49] <badkitty> mhz: yah just hoping for an off-hand recommendation... google cant give me that
[03:49] <nerdygirl_ellie> MrXorg: on your hard drive.  Glad we could help. :)
[03:49] <badkitty> ... I suppose it could if I willed it  enough....
[03:49] <powergoal> Is there a way for me to download the snd-intel-hda alsa module?  I need it for my card in kubuntu 7.04, and I can't modprobe it.
[03:49] <badkitty> LOL
[03:49] <nerdygirl_ellie> MrXorg: Mine are in /usr/share/fonts
[03:50] <FruitLoop> Why is there a crane across the road in my neighbour's yard?
[03:50] <astro76> FruitLoop, no, you could do .65 to .94 with a 192.168.1.64/27 (but note .64 is not included in range).
[03:50] <nerdygirl_ellie> FruitLoop: because it was tired of flying.
[03:50] <mhz`> badkitty, why do you need that so bad?
[03:50] <astro76> FruitLoop, or you could just allow through all of 192.168.1.x,
[03:50] <elidyros> No one on #ubuntu-jp...
[03:51] <mhz`> still working 2hrs...i just want to be done work & boot back into ubuntu
[03:51] <mhz`> this sucks
[03:51] <FruitLoop> Can everybody else smell that?
[03:51] <mhz`> was done at 8..its now 10 of 10
[03:51] <flexa> #bg
[03:51] <MrXorg> nerdygirl_ellie: thanks
[03:51] <nerdygirl_ellie> MrXorg: anytime!
[03:51] <smakdy> good even all
[03:51] <badkitty> mhz: because I suck thats why, I don't know of any better way to do it
[03:51] <ztomic> nerdygirl_ellie: ehhh! I'm gonna try a new card. It works on other computers but this card (though SBL!) is a lot newer than the ones I'm used to. I just dont understand why, but it has to be a hardware issue.
[03:52] <mhz`> do you have shell access? i think you could do wine+flashfxp
[03:52] <mhz`> i think most win32 clients let you send raw commands
[03:52] <MrXorg> haha
[03:52] <elidyros> No one here use japanese 109 keys keyboard ?
[03:52] <younghacker> whats the command to restart the postgresql server?
[03:52] <nerdygirl_ellie> badkitty: I use ncftp (from source)  it is cli, but it is great.
[03:53] <mhz`> younghacker, i think: /etc/rc.d/init.d/pg_ctl start
[03:53] <mhz`> well, restart
[03:53] <smakdy> i'm trying to install the nvidia driver in ubuntu and i keep getting getting "error: nvidia-installer must be run as root" any body able to help me with this one?
[03:53] <JFreak> is it possible to change the ubuntu language without re-install it ?
[03:53] <younghacker> thanks i'll try it
[03:53] <Flannel> younghacker: /etc/init.d/postgres restart  or something like that.  (type postg and hit tab, it'll complete)
[03:53] <mhz`> younghacker, or try /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql restart
[03:53] <mhz`> i think the later
[03:53] <nerdygirl_ellie> smakdy: do you want to try the linux-restricted-modules one first?
[03:53] <Flannel> mhz`: no rc.d just /etc/init.d
[03:53] <mhz`> ahhh
[03:53] <varun0> how do I end an xsession? I want to use the CLI only (I hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 when I logged into X, I want to use that terminal). Whenever I do a ctrl+alt+bksp, x just starts up again. I tried doing telinit 3, but that didn't work, either
[03:53] <smakdy> yes i do
[03:54] <Flannel> varun0: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[03:54] <mhz`> there ya go..i'll give 2/3's the answer everyone else is free to finish it off
[03:54] <varun0> Flannel: ah. much thanks!:)
[03:54] <badkitty> nerdygirl: maybe you can help me... I have been playing around with a server install and have been using ftp to upload from my windows box to the server, and when I have to, I shell in with putty to do big recursive type file modding... is there a better way than what I am doing?
[03:54] <hanglose> Is there a way to strip Ubuntu down a bit? It comes with so many programs that I will never want to use.
[03:54] <nerdygirl_ellie> badkitty: one sec.
[03:54] <Fezzler> firefox freezes after playing one web-based video; sound and image very slightly out of sync.
[03:54] <mhz`> badkitty, you could share the linux using samba...
[03:54] <mhz`> ?
[03:54] <SlimG2> how do I change a displays pictureplacement/picturewitdh/pictureheight/pictureshape of a CRT display that lacks OnScreenDisplay menu (apple studio display)?
[03:54] <hsimah`out> when i try and apt-get adobe flash player i get an error saying md5sum mismatch and it wont install. how can i fix this?
[03:55] <mhz`> then mount it in windows and transfer that way
[03:55] <younghacker> smh, what happend i rebooted my machine and now i can't connect to my own server...wow.. those commands didn't work
[03:55] <nerdygirl_ellie> smakdy: ask 'How do I install the restricted nvidia module'
[03:55] <Fezzler> samba is cool.  I use it to share Ubuntu pc, iMacs and Vista pc
[03:55] <badkitty> mhz: true ... but what If I am outside of the local network, ie upload some images from friends house?
[03:55] <conorkirkpatrick> SlimG2: drivers MB? the windows nvidia drivers have it, but idk about ubuntu
[03:55] <mhz`> younghacker, try /etc/init.d/postgresql restart or
[03:55] <smakdy> how do i install the restricted nvidia module?
[03:55] <mhz`> then probably ftp, badkitty assuming you allow outside access
[03:55] <Fezzler> nvidia!
[03:56] <Fezzler> help!
[03:56] <pi3> !nvidia
[03:56] <Flannel> badkitty: You want to look into default masks for the files you put (it's in the ftpd config)
[03:56] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:56] <younghacker> it says no such file or directory
[03:56] <mhz`> unless you setup access for him to connect to your samba..i dunno if samba can only do local or can do wan
[03:56] <gtrb8t> I have Dell TrueMobile 1150 Wireless PC card, and I do not think the driver I am using supports WPA encryption, anyone have any ideas?
[03:56] <badkitty> smakdy: did you do sudo apt-get nvidia-glx (I think)
[03:56] <mhz`> hmm young, hang on
[03:56] <nerdygirl_ellie> badkitty: there are a few options.  samba would let you access the files as a share on the windows box or .... do you want to sit at the windows box or the linux box?
[03:56] <SlimG2> conorkirkpatrick: nope, nvidia-settings lacks that feature
[03:56] <pi3> !!
[03:56] <mhz`> research time
[03:56] <younghacker> ok
[03:56] <younghacker> lol yea 4 me 2
[03:56] <smakdy> no i did not bad kitty
[03:56] <badkitty> Flannel: Yeah I was thinking there was a way to do something like that...
[03:56] <astro76> badkitty, if you're doing it remotely (through public internet) do not use ftp or telnet, install openssh-server then you can sftp and ssh
[03:57] <astro76> badkitty, ftp and telnet transmit your password in plain text
[03:57] <Fezzler> With samba, I can sit at any of my computer and share files
[03:57] <conorkirkpatrick> hmm
[03:57] <badkitty> nerdygirl: actually I was thinking of killing the windows box, and using my dualboot linux feisty desktop and installing a server on it so I could do everything locally
[03:57] <mhz`> younghacker, i believe it should be: /etc/init.d/postgresql or /etc/init.d/postgresql8
[03:57] <conorkirkpatrick> SlimG2: Sorry, then IDK ask again someone is bound to answer
[03:57] <Mathman> Hi.  I don't suppose anyone could recommend some software that would create a map of my network?  or perhaps something like traceroute but with switches?
[03:58] <SlimG2> how do I change a displays pictureplacement/picturewitdh/pictureheight/pictureshape of a CRT display that lacks OnScreenDisplay menu (apple studio display)?
[03:58] <Flannel> badkitty: he's right.  You mightwant to think about using scp instead of ftp
[03:58] <mhz`> mathman, nagios is a network monitoring software that can i believe map it
[03:58] <mhz`> www.nagios.org
[03:58] <badkitty> !scp
[03:58] <mhz`> its more of a commercial/hosting tool
[03:58] <ubotu> SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/
[03:58] <nerdygirl_ellie> something that sees the switches (a layer 2 device) will be more of a trick.
[03:58] <delpierro> salut tout le monde vous allez bien ? ;)
[03:58] <Mathman> mhz`: yeah, I've heard of that.  I was hoping for something more standalone though
[03:58] <astro76> badkitty, yep scp comes with openssh-server too
[03:58] <JFreak> can somebody tell me if is possible to change the instalation language to Ubuntu please ?
[03:59] <romboy> ls
[03:59] <conorkirkpatrick> SlimG2: You could call it "Screen alignment" not those pictureheight things
[03:59] <alecwh> I've heard from misc. people that the next release of Ubuntu will have great Duel Screen support, is this true? What sort of optimization can I look foward to? :)
[03:59] <mhz`> younghacker, sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.1 restart
[03:59] <smakdy> its so easy!!!! ty nerdygirl
[03:59] <SlimG2> conorkirkpatrick: thanks for the tip :)
[03:59] <mhz`> depending on the verision of postgres
[03:59] <smakdy> holy crap why isnt windows like that
[03:59] <mhz`> because it's windows
[03:59] <mhz`> :/
[03:59] <nerdygirl_ellie> smakdy: good luck.  hey, one sec...
[04:00] <younghacker> lol it says command not found
[04:00] <smakdy> okay
[04:00] <conorkirkpatrick> SLimG2: and you could try playing with the resolutions, maybe :D
[04:00] <mhz`> and i of course, have employment with a large windows hosting company
[04:00] <mhz`> so yay! windows!!!
[04:00] <badkitty> astro76: ok... I'm guessing its not a good idea to install the server on my desktop installation then huh...
[04:00] <smakdy> wohoo!
[04:00] <smakdy> lol
[04:00] <astro76> JFreak, did you try system->administration->language support?
[04:00] <nerdygirl_ellie> smakdy: open the control panel and make sure there is a little checkmark next to nvidia in the restricted modules thingy.
[04:00] <mhz`> badkitty, why would you do that :)
[04:00] <smakdy> kk
[04:00] <astro76> badkitty, openssh-server? that's safe
[04:00] <smakdy> there is indeed
[04:00] <smakdy> hey i can change my res now
[04:01] <badkitty> mhz: I dunno, I wanted to use my other box for something like say...mythtv or something?
[04:01] <SlimG2> conorkirkpatrick: Just changes the screenalignment around a bit, never takes advantage of the entire display
[04:01] <JFreak> thks astro76 i'm new in Ubuntu
[04:01] <nerdygirl_ellie> badkitty: if this is on your local lan, don't stress about it.
[04:01] <smakdy> same here jfreak the commands are so alien to me thus far
[04:01] <nerdygirl_ellie> smakdy: there is an apt package called nvidia settings that is cool as toast.
[04:01] <conorkirkpatrick> I am trying to isntall Ubuntu on an externel Hard drive, and I am not sure whether the setup is about to erase my internel drive or the externel (USB) one
[04:01] <mhz`> i should turn my "file server" into running ubuntu
[04:01] <mhz`> instead of xp
[04:01] <smakdy> URL?
[04:01] <badkitty> nerdy: it is on my local lan, but I do want to know and have experience doing things the right way
[04:02] <younghacker> ok this suX
[04:02] <nerdygirl_ellie> smakdy: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[04:02] <JFreak> yeah !!! but i'm relly hapy smakdy i love it !!!
[04:02] <smakdy> my neighbor is mhz thats how he got me hooked
[04:02] <badkitty> conorkirj: you better be sure! lol
[04:02] <mhz`> lol, i ain't your neighbor :)
[04:02] <mhz`> or am i..
[04:02] <nerdygirl_ellie> badkitty: about 5% of hosts support secure ftp .  Maybe 10% webdav.  the rest are all ftp.  which is sad.
[04:02] <mhz`> if you see a dude dancing naked in the house next door then its me
[04:02] <conorkirkpatrick> It says "SCSI (0,0,0)
[04:02] <nerdygirl_ellie> brb
[04:03] <badkitty> nerdy: thats lame isn't sSH free?
[04:03] <SlimG2> how do I change the screenalignment on a CRT display that lacks a OnScreenDisplay menu (apple studio display)?
[04:03] <smakdy> lol mhz
[04:03] <badkitty> open-ssh
[04:03] <mhz`> ssh is free
[04:03] <badkitty> so they do it for ease of use?
[04:03] <Bonz> badkitty, Flannel...the #beryl channel is pretty much empty.  You guys wouldn't have any idea about what I should do?
[04:03] <mhz`> it comes with the distros
[04:03] <badkitty> Bonz: did you try that repo?
[04:03] <mhz`> i'd just make sure you have the newest version
[04:03] <Bonz> badkitty yes
[04:03] <mhz`> b/c of exploits/holes setc
[04:04] <smakdy> !ping
[04:04] <ubotu> pong
[04:04] <Bonz> badkitty: I reinstalled the plugin pack and nothing
[04:04] <mhz`> if you're gonna open your box up, granted you shouldn't be a huge target b/c you're a small time box probably on broadband
[04:04] <mhz`> but lock it down
[04:04] <lesshaste> anyone know of an app to configure your touchpad?
[04:04] <conorkirkpatrick> SlimG2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=497834
[04:05] <badkitty> Bonz... hmmm that sucks I had the same problem about an hour and a half ago (no decorations) and finally I installed the beryl-manager and everything worked.. maybe reinstall emerald???
[04:05] <Bonz> badkitty: How do I go about doing both of these things?
[04:05] <badkitty> nerdy: do you think it would be possible to install the server in a vm appliance and keep it local?
[04:05] <smakdy> /chanlist wine
[04:05] <astro76> lesshaste, synclient
[04:06] <JFreak> can somebody tell me what is the SUPER key in Beryl ???
[04:06] <Flannel> badkitty: of course.  You cna also install a server on a normal install and keep it local (or subnet, whatever)
[04:06] <Bonz> badkitty, I found them on that repo...be back with you in a min
[04:06] <CerebroJD> Can I boot into the 7.04 liveCD on a macbook?  or is there issues with that?
[04:06] <nerdygirl_ellie> JFreak: windows key, i think.
[04:06] <lesshaste> astro76, how do I know if I am using a synaptics touchpad?
[04:06] <JFreak> sorry if is a stupid question :)
[04:06] <conorkirkpatrick> SlimG2: that page is a hint for editing /etc/x/org.conf
[04:06] <conorkirkpatrick> or something
[04:06] <astro76> lesshaste, not sure, I think 99% are synaptic
[04:06] <nerdygirl_ellie> badkitty: with vmware server there is a thingy that will let you access drives inside the vm, but I haven't used it.
[04:06] <conorkirkpatrick> CerebroJD: MacBooks should boot any X86 liveCD
[04:06] <badkitty> flannel: Yah but can I allow access from the web or would that be insecure?
[04:07] <CerebroJD> alrighty
[04:07] <lesshaste> astro76, ok that sounds good...there is something called qsynaptics I notice
[04:07] <mneptok> ianmcorvidae: stop syn/ack-ing ubotu, ravenboy ;)
[04:07] <mhz`> kitty, you can
[04:07] <mhz`> you can open your box to do whatever or close it down
[04:07] <conorkirkpatrick> Does anybody know how I can determine which Hard disk Ubuntu is trying to install on?
[04:07] <mhz`> you can host games (counter-strike/quake/etc) host websites
[04:07] <mhz`> etc
[04:07] <nerdygirl_ellie> lesshaste: The ubuntu touchpad apps don't seem to work right for me, let me know if you figure that out, k?
[04:07] <SlimG2> conorkirkpatrick: I don't think I'll start testing out modelines, too many possibilities and too long time
[04:07] <badkitty> All I want is to test out some web stuff, have easy access over the crap, and have it be secure, and not risk it screwing up my linux desktop
[04:07] <astro76> lesshaste, I was amazed to find out I have advanced features enabled on my laptop touchpad in feisty, like two finger and three finger tap for right and middle-click
[04:08] <lesshaste> nerdygirl_ellie, ok
[04:08] <SlimG2> conorkirkpatrick: but thanks for taking an interest :)
[04:08] <FruitLoop> WOoohoooooooo!! success!, the target idiot computer with non-bootable CD drive is now installing Ubuntu thanks to the miracle of network booting muahahahahhaahah!!! ntohing in the world can stop me now!
[04:08] <conorkirkpatrick> SlimG2: NP
[04:08] <mhz`> badkitty, well...if you wanna play with web hosting i'd install LAMP
[04:08] <Flannel> badkitty: I'm not sure I understand.  Servers are designed to interface with the web (securely, ideally)
[04:08] <lesshaste> astro76, right..I need to disable the tapping/clicking as it is driving me mad
[04:08] <nerdygirl_ellie> badkitty: then why not install apache on your desktop and access the share locally?
[04:08] <FruitLoop> except for maybe typos...
[04:08] <conorkirkpatrick> SlimG2: I am new to this community, and trying to help out :D
[04:08] <astro76> lesshaste, haha ok
[04:08] <badkitty> conorkirk: you can look at the sizes of the disks, or look at their address before you go into the install and match it up
[04:09] <conorkirkpatrick> Okay
[04:09] <nerdygirl_ellie> conorkirkpatrick: what kind of drives?  one ide and one usb?
[04:09] <badkitty> nerdy: that is what I was planning on doing, but I have had many people tell me I shouldn't have a web server on a desktop install
[04:09] <SlimG2> conorkirkpatrick: with your attitude, spirit and involvement you'll get far ;)
[04:09] <conorkirkpatrick> Nerdygirl_ellie: yes, one internel (laptop, not sure if it is IDE) and the other is USB
[04:09] <conorkirkpatrick> slimg2: thnx!
[04:09] <lesshaste> astro76, hmm...now I find tpconfig too
[04:10] <lesshaste> no idea which to use
[04:10] <CACHACA> how can i use kde on ubuntu?
[04:10] <lesshaste> well...qsynaptics didn't work at all!
[04:10] <nerdygirl_ellie> CACHACA: apt-get install kde-desktop to switch to kubuntu
[04:10] <lesshaste> it didn't even find a synaptics driver
[04:10] <MrXorg> CACHACA: Konsole
[04:10] <Flannel> CACHACA: install kubuntu.  (If you already have an ubuntu installation, install the `kubuntu-desktop` package
[04:10] <badkitty> conor: did you look to see what drive was sda1 sda2, etc before you go into the install, and remember which one is your external, then make sure you install it on that one
[04:10] <Doc_Bio> get permission error with vmware server.....trying to run windows...help?
[04:11] <CACHACA> MrXorg: Flannel: thank you, i fell very gay now
[04:11] <gravemind> hey, my hibernate doesn't work. It says there's some program accessing the hardware directly. Any ideas why that is?
[04:11] <conorkirkpatrick> badkitty: Well, I was going to use the mount command, but terminal wont open :(
[04:11] <astro76> lesshaste, heh, there's tpcconfig, qsynaptics, gsynaptics, and ksynaptics
[04:12] <Bonz> badkitty: get this...I just restarted my PC and when I logged in...the resolution was so messed up I couldn't see anything
[04:12] <nerdygirl_ellie> astro76: and a partridge in a pear tree? :)
[04:12] <badkitty> nerdy: K, I think my battle was moving away from windows, I am in linux alot more now, so the server would be available a larger portion of the time
[04:12] <Bonz> o.O
[04:12] <MrXorg> CACHACA: You feel gay?
[04:12] <badkitty> Bonz: I've had that happen, did you change anything in the xorg.conf?
[04:12] <Doc_Bio> anyone help with getting vmware server to run my existing windows xp?
[04:13] <Bonz> badkitty, just the "disabled" to "enable" like that page said at the very bottom
[04:13] <badkitty> Doc:how did you get winxp in a vmware file?
[04:13] <Bonz> badkitty could you once again show me how to get there again?
[04:13] <Bonz> to the xorg?
[04:13] <badkitty> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:13] <Doc_Bio> i didn't...trying with an existing install
[04:13] <miguelito> Type rm -rf in the terminal
[04:13] <astro76> lesshaste, I installed gsynaptics and get an entry in preferences->touchpad, according to the error message I have to set SHMConfig to 'true' in xorg.conf first
[04:13] <badkitty> Bonz: This is where you are glad you had a backup
[04:13] <Doc_Bio> http://www.advicesource.org/ubuntu/Run_Existing_Windows_Instalation_On_Ubuntu_With_Vmware_player.html
[04:13] <Doc_Bio> as per that guide
[04:13] <nerdygirl_ellie> miguelito:  that's not nice
[04:13] <mhz`> finally done work
[04:14] <mhz`> time to eat dinner at 10:15pm
[04:14] <mhz`> cool
[04:14] <Bonz> How do I replace the new with the backup?
[04:14] <miguelito> why not haha?
[04:14] <lesshaste> I give up
[04:14] <badkitty> Bonz: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf_backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:15] <badkitty> Bonz: Basically copies the backup over the existing bad one and overwrites it.
[04:15] <Doc_Bio> better question...is there a good way to run windows apps in linux without all this vmware crap?
[04:15] <badkitty> Doc_Bio... have you heard of wine
[04:15] <Fezzler> Firefox "about:plugins" reports I have " Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0" installed.  Is that the latest?
[04:15] <wydd> locale says I'm using "C" for all; how do I change to en_US_UTF8 for systemwide?
[04:15] <Doc_Bio> yes
[04:15] <badkitty> !wine
[04:15] <Bonz> badkitty, I will restart once more xD
[04:15] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:15] <astro76> lesshaste, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=975421
[04:15] <gravemind> Doc_Bio: wine works for most things
[04:15] <badkitty> DOc: you could try that
[04:15] <SlimG2> how do I change the screenalignment on a CRT display that lacks a OnScreenDisplay menu (apple studio display)?
[04:15] <nerdygirl_ellie> Doc_Bio: it depends on the application.  Wine emulates the essential parts of windows and can "run" many programs.
[04:16] <lesshaste> astro76, thanks
[04:16] <Justi1> Has anyone here got beryl working on an ati X1400?
[04:16] <Doc_Bio> will that run java apps?
[04:16] <etyrnal> test
[04:16] <gravemind> Doc_Bio: winehq's appdb says whether it will work or not
[04:16] <Doc_Bio> I've got beryl working on an ati 9000
[04:16] <nerdygirl_ellie> Doc_Bio: Cedega/Crossover are commercial extensions built on wine.
[04:16] <wydd> how to change systemwide locales (localeconf does not do it, right?)
[04:16] <Justi1> someone was in here the other day who got it to work on the x1400
[04:17] <nerdygirl_ellie> Doc_Bio: Java is supported on ubuntu/linux, you shouldn't need to emulate it.  I'm running compeire, a big java accounting thing on a linux box now.
[04:17] <conorkirkpatrick> Does anyone know why my terminal wont open off of a live CD?
[04:17] <badkitty> doc: did you use automatix to install vmware?
[04:17] <nerdygirl_ellie> conorkirkpatrick: it works for me.  That's odd.  can you run xterm from alt-f2?
[04:17] <nerdygirl_ellie> badkitty: good question!
[04:17] <Doc_Bio> no....installed through ubuntu add/remove....
[04:18] <badkitty> WHEW!
[04:18] <Doc_Bio> ....vmware server

[04:19] <Bonz> badkitty, well nothing...resolution still messed up under xgl.  Just assure me that when I get finished I will be happier than with Windows XP
[04:19] <nerdygirl_ellie> Doc_Bio: what's the app do?
[04:19] <miguelito> why?
[04:19] <Doc_Bio> it looks like i have the vmware all set up...but when I try to lauch windows with it, it says I don't have permission to access the file

[04:20] <soduer_> does anyone happen to have 6.06 or 6.06 with update to 7.04 installed and openvpn running?

[04:20] <lesshaste> I don't understand http://www.pastebin.ca/617174 ... what driver is it using for my touchpad
[04:20] <Bonz> badkitty: I really wish I could get Beryl to work, and I really don't wanna go and buy another graphics card.  I bought this one for gaming
[04:20] <Bonz> badkitty: How would I do that?
[04:20] <lesshaste> I seem to have loads listed
[04:20] <nerdygirl_ellie> Doc_Bio: this is completely off topic, but I saw a linux live cd built on knoppix that was chock-full of bio-apps,   Flow-cytometry was on the list, but I don't remember what the name of it was....
[04:20] <badkitty> Bonz: I like nvidia better for gaming... anyhow.. ummm lemme think here
[04:20] <nerdygirl_ellie> Doc_Bio: Are you in geographic proximity to nashville, TN?
[04:20] <Doc_Bio> negative
[04:21] <badkitty> Bonz: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:21] <badkitty> maybe need a sudo in front of that
[04:21] <astro76> lesshaste, the section that includes Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
[04:21] <soduer_> does anybody happen to have pkitool for openvpn on 6.06?
[04:21] <nerdygirl_ellie> Doc_Bio: poo.  Let's start from the beginning.  where are your .vmx / vmdk files on your hard drive?
[04:21] <Bonz> xserver driver? badkitty
[04:21] <lesshaste> astro76, well qsynaptics says it can't find a synaptics driver
[04:21] <Doc_Bio> in my home directory
[04:21] <badkitty> Bonz: eh?
[04:22] <Doc_Bio> on the linux partition
[04:22] <fiXXXerMet> or, does anyone know where I can find a  4.2.0 gcc-avr package for ubuntu?
[04:22] <Bonz> badkitty: It wants to know which x server driver I should use :x
[04:22] <Doc_Bio> and the same directory as the windowxp.mbr file
[04:22] <badkitty> Bonz: Oh umm Im guessing ATI?
[04:22] <Bonz> badkitty xD Ahh yes forgot
[04:22] <astro76> fiXXXerMet, it looks like your missing a header file somewhere, check your includes
[04:22] <nerdygirl_ellie> ok.  can you drop to a prompt and ls -l the files to make sure you are the owner of them?
[04:22] <younghacker> why is my postgresql not accepting connections?
[04:23] <soduer_> does anybody happen to have pkitool for openvpn on 6.06?
[04:23] <younghacker> i just reinstalled the server and it still isn't accepting
[04:23] <astro76> lesshaste, is xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package installed?
[04:23] <nerdygirl_ellie> younghacker: did you tell it to listen on the ip and not the socket?
[04:23] <lesshaste> astro76, sorry to be dumb but how do I check that?
[04:23] <younghacker> I didn't 5 hours ago at work and i was querying my databases
[04:23] <younghacker> but no i havn't
[04:23] <nerdygirl_ellie> Doc_Bio: can you drop to a prompt and ls -l the files to make sure you are the owner of them?
[04:23] <soduer_> sudo apt-cache search <packedge>
[04:23] <younghacker> it seems like a setting has changed
[04:24] <nerdygirl_ellie> younghacker: do you have a different IP now?
[04:24] <younghacker> hmmm
[04:24] <lesshaste> soduer_, was that for me?
[04:24] <younghacker> yes
[04:24] <younghacker> i do
[04:24] <soduer_> lesshate, yes...
[04:24] <fiXXXerMet> astro76: I don't really know what that means (well I do, but I don't know _what_ i'd be missing), as I'm following a tutorial.
[04:24] <younghacker> i had my internal ip at work
[04:24] <lesshaste> soduer_, that doesn't tell me if it is already installed
[04:24] <soduer_> lesshaste, or try whick <packedge>
[04:24] <soduer_> lesshaste, or try whick <packedge>which
[04:24] <nerdygirl_ellie> younghacker: so it could be that pg is listening on the old/ip?  a netstat -tunap would tell you for sure.
[04:24] <soduer_> ARG!!! lesshaste, or try which <packedge>
[04:25] <younghacker> ok hold on
[04:25] <younghacker> brb
[04:25] <lesshaste> soduer_, that is for apps not packages
[04:25] <Justi1> if I have my sound drivers on auto detect, how can I determine which one ubuntu is using so I can use the same one in WINE?
[04:25] <astro76> lesshaste, dpkg -l packagename(or search pattern)
[04:25] <PatrickMay16> I'm looking for help. I'd like to know why I can't choose a frequency to use in the cpu frequency scaling monitor in gnome, on ubuntu feisty 7.04
[04:25] <astro76> lesshaste, hmm, I think I would try gsynaptics first
[04:26] <nerdygirl_ellie> Doc_Bio: I'm thinking that's your problem, another user, or you as root, created the vmware files and now you can't read/write them.  if that's it, you can chown them to your username.
[04:26] <soduer_> does anybody happen to have pkitool for openvpn on 6.06?
[04:26] <PatrickMay16> It supports cpu frequency scaling, but I can only choose out of two 'govenors'. Not different frequencies.
[04:26] <nerdygirl_ellie> Doc_Bio: chown user:group *.vmdk  (repeat for mbr and .vmx files)
[04:26] <PatrickMay16> Any help is appreciated.
[04:26] <Justi1> How can I determine what sound Drivers I should use in WINE?
[04:27] <luisin_> PatrickMay16, you should be able to choose the min freq, at least.
[04:27] <ian_wax> anyone know how to solve a network driver issue with feisty on a 64-bit ?
[04:27] <bizinichi> yo
[04:27] <nerdygirl_ellie> Justi1: I used the process of elimination trying them until I found that alsa worked..
[04:27] <PatrickMay16> I can't choose any frequency, because there is no menu to let me do that.
[04:27] <lesshaste> who just used my nick?
[04:27] <bizinichi> confidential
[04:27] <siguel> buenas
[04:28] <PatrickMay16> When I click on it, it just gives a single list which has two items; 'ondemand' and 'performance'
[04:28] <astro76> lesshaste, hmm, I think I would try gsynaptics first
[04:28] <oxeimon3> how do I expand my desktop over two monitors?
[04:28] <younghacker> ok i see my running ports but i do see my work octets anywhere i do see a few 0.0.0.0 's could that be the IP's from work?
[04:28] <siguel> hay alguien que hable espaol?
[04:28] <siguel> necesito ayuda
[04:28] <luisin_> PatrickMay16, I would say you have to go to a lower level here. You can write the desired frequency to a file, which is read by the kernel.
[04:28] <ian_wax> my problem is that i cannot configure my wireless at home with my linksys router, nor am i sure that i have my rt61 driver working properly
[04:28] <oxeimon3> right now both monitors display the same thing
[04:28] <nerdygirl_ellie> oxeimon3: what kind of video card do you have?
[04:28] <lesshaste> astro76, I think I have to add SHMConfig to my xorg.conf first
[04:28] <oxeimon3> ATI
[04:28] <younghacker> ] * i don't see my octets from work rather
[04:28] <PatrickMay16> OK.
[04:29] <nerdygirl_ellie> oxeimon3: it is possible, but I can't help.  sorry.

[04:29] <luisin_> PatrickMay16, I can't recall the name of the file right now, but let me google around...
[04:29] <younghacker> how can i configure the server to just listen to 127.0.0.1 statically?
[04:29] <younghacker> for now
[04:29] <cavalierprime> oxeimon3 do aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=above
[04:29] <badkitty> Bonz: this is after you did the reconfigure?
[04:29] <Flannel> younghacker: Which server?
[04:29] <PatrickMay16> The strange thing is, it works on my desktop machine running dapper, but not my laptop machine with feisty.
[04:30] <younghacker> postgres
[04:30] <Flannel> younghacker: You'd be looking for a "bind" option in your config files
[04:30] <kbrooks> gsynatics should be edited to add the line and restart X upon prompting.
[04:30] <ian_wax> oye, have you been on the spanish servers? there is no one there to help
[04:30] <younghacker> right
[04:30] <Bonz> badkitty, this is the backup and I have found a website that might have helped me...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2963305
[04:30] <PatrickMay16> I can choose different frequencies from the cpufreq monitor applet in gnome just fine on my desktop.
[04:30] <siguel> ian_wax tengo ubuntu 7.07
[04:30] <nerdygirl_ellie> you'll need to hunt down the postgres config file and it's in there.  you can set it to localhost or 0.0.0.0 for all ip's.
[04:30] <weltschmerz> can anyone recommend a good command-line program to batch convert images from, say, bmp to png?
[04:30] <younghacker> where exactly is the file located if you know?
[04:30] <siguel> perdon 7.04
[04:30] <younghacker> i definately don't
[04:30] <Bonz> badkitty: I just did what CaptainInsaneO said and it might work?
[04:30] <Jamesinator> How do I apply changes to the Network Proxy settings without rebooting? sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't affect it.
[04:30] <siguel> ian_wax y se me queda pegado en el gdm
[04:31] <younghacker> but 0.0.0.0 would let anyone connect from IP right?
[04:31] <siguel> ian_wax he intentado de todo
[04:31] <siguel> ian_wax y no me funciona
[04:31] <siguel> ian_wax?
[04:31] <ian_wax> siguel: no puedes salir de su gdm?

[04:31] <younghacker> hmm any idea where the config file is then?
[04:31] <thompa> what do i use to convert my flac file to mp3 so i can listen on the phone
[04:31] <Flannel> younghacker: a file in /etc/ or a file in a folder in etc (/etc/postgres)
[04:31] <luisin_> PatrickMay16, can you actually choose the freq. from the Gnome applet on Dapper?
[04:31] <younghacker> ok
[04:31] <nerdygirl_ellie> hola siguel y ian-wax.  porfavor /join #ubuntu-es para espanol.
[04:31] <siguel> ian_wax a modo consola?
[04:31] <PatrickMay16> Yes, I can actually choose the frequency to use.
[04:31] <Bonz> badkitty: Another restart xD brb maybe
[04:32] <PanzerMKZ> how do you install ubuntu server without APIC
[04:32] <thompa> need to convert flac and stuff to mp3 for cell phone
[04:32] <nerdygirl_ellie> PanzerMKZ: can you pass noapic as a kernel option?

[04:32] <PatrickMay16> On feisty (on my laptop), it only gives me a choice of two different 'govenors'. And the preferences dialogue doesn't have any option to display different frequencies.

[04:32] <CerebroJD> wonder what channel OSX geeks hang out in...
[04:32] <oxeimon3> cavaliearprime: it says I need to install xorg-driver-fglrx
[04:32] <thompa> im on macbook
[04:33] <badkitty> Bonz: it might, but you have a backup so it might be worth it to try right
[04:33] <EADG_> thompa: www.ubuntuessentials.net , there is a converter program a couple pages in iirc.
[04:33] <oxeimon3> and when I do "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx", it says, "E: Couldn't find package xorg-driver-fglrx"
[04:33] <CerebroJD> thompa, I've got a friend that has had an hdd crash on her macbook
[04:33] <lesshaste> astro76, ok..all working
[04:33] <CerebroJD> I'd like to recover the stuff
[04:33] <thompa> CerebroJD: but i just deleted os x

[04:33] <CerebroJD> however, its saying that access is restricted to the files
[04:33] <thompa> CerebroJD: recover what?
[04:33] <lesshaste> astro76, thanks... the secret is the extra config option
[04:33] <CerebroJD> thompa, user files
[04:33] <nerdygirl_ellie> lesshaste: yeah!  what was broke again? :)
[04:33] <thompa> CerebroJD: from linux or osx?
[04:34] <cavalierprime> oxeimon3:  you can reinstall the driver then try the aticonfig thing
[04:34] <CerebroJD> from Linux, recovering OSX files
[04:34] <MrXorg> Does anyone in here use fontforge?
[04:34] <badkitty> Bonz: Although right now your X is briken right?
[04:34] <lesshaste> nerdygirl_ellie, you have to add an SHMConfig  in xorg.conf
[04:34] <oxeimon3> cavalierprime: reinstall what driver?
[04:34] <Jamesinator> !anyone | MrXorg
[04:34] <ubotu> MrXorg: 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?
[04:34] <who_cares> when I try to open firefox it asks if I want to restore the session then it crashes and says "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
[04:34] <lesshaste> nerdygirl_ellie, and use gsynaptics as well as it seems to be more polished
[04:34] <who_cares> it wasn't doing that earlier today
[04:34] <koisoooo> hi there. what do i have to do to have 32x32 icons on the gnome desktop? thanks
[04:34] <younghacker> ok I'm in the file now what am i looking for
[04:34] <cavalierprime> oxeimon3:  reinstall the ATI driver
[04:34] <younghacker> bind?
[04:34] <who_cares> any idea how to fix it?
[04:34] <nerdygirl_ellie> who_cares: did you click start new session or restore?
[04:34] <oxeimon3> cavalierprime: I never installed it per se in the first place on my linux
[04:34] <thompa> CerebroJD: there is a way to access the partition. I just used my ipod
[04:34] <oxeimon3> I guess I should do that
[04:34] <who_cares> restore
[04:34] <oxeimon3> >.>
[04:35] <Jamesinator> who_cares: Try looking in your syslog for error messages, posting them here will help us in debugging your problem
[04:35] <younghacker> i see listen address it's set to local host but it seems like it's commented out with # in front
[04:35] <Bonz> badkitty: Oh well, still can't log into it with xgl, at least I still have a working PC...right?
[04:35] <nerdygirl_ellie> who_cares: try to start a new session and not restore
[04:35] <watch_share_loca> how to install gnome 2.19.5 in ubuntu?
[04:35] <thompa> thompa: cause i dont listen to music on the ipod its running linux
[04:35] <cavalierprime> oxeimon3: maybe the problem?  d/l it from the ati web site and install then do the aticonfig thing
[04:35] <Justi1> Has anyone successfully launched Beryl on a ATI X1400?
[04:35] <CerebroJD> I can access that partition (I'm booting to the LiveCD), the problem is that files in /Users/username are coming up as restricted
[04:35] <CerebroJD> Justi1, I have
[04:35] <luisin_> PatrickMay16, I wonder why I can't get to choose the freq. on my laptop with Dapper...
[04:35] <CerebroJD> using it right now
[04:35] <unagi> anyone know how to execute a keystroke in the terminal?
[04:35] <PatrickMay16> Weird.
[04:35] <lesshaste> nerdygirl_ellie, did you try that already?
[04:35] <Bonz> Justil I have launched beryl on an x1900gt....but it doesn't work and I am having problems as we speak with it :(
[04:35] <younghacker> should i remove the # symbol from this line? or should i remove the # symbol and also change local host to 127.0.0.1
[04:35] <thompa> CerebroJD: do you want to keep ox
[04:36] <badkitty> Bonz: I only have one set of device and screen... do you have another graphics card perhaps enabled in bios?
[04:36] <nerdygirl_ellie> poor unagi, still trying unsuccessfully to kill off X. ;)
[04:36] <Jamesinator> How do I apply changes to the Network Proxy settings without rebooting? sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't affect it.
[04:36] <Bonz> badkitty: Nope...no onboard graphics
[04:36] <unagi> unfortunately nerdygirl_ellie
[04:36] <PatrickMay16> I think I'll try the dapper liveCD on my laptop, to see if the gnome cpufreq monitor will let me do it there.
[04:36] <unagi> nerdygirl_ellie: its so annoying that this seems like an easy problem to fix
[04:36] <PatrickMay16> I mean, just to check.
[04:36] <Justi1> CerebroJD: do you remember how you did it? Mine says that I don't have a composite extension... when I add one, my 3d driver gets disabled
[04:36] <thompa> nerdygirl_ellie: if you are running compiz remove it
[04:36] <CerebroJD> thompa, yes
[04:36] <CerebroJD> this is just for file recovery
[04:36] <cavalierprime> oxeimon3: once you d/l the driver, do a  ./driverfilename to install it and then do the aticonfig thing
[04:36] <badkitty> Bonz: Why do you have two screens and everything then..so when you reconfigured xorg, you saved it and everything and it is still broken? Did you restart x after that?
[04:36] <Bonz> badkitty: I really don't wanna swap out my good card for a junk one just to run beryl...I guess I'll have to wait until something stable comes out
[04:36] <thompa> CerebroJD: ok i get it sorry
[04:36] <nerdygirl_ellie> unagi: I know you tried /etc/init.d/gdm stop.  what else?
[04:37] <unagi> gdm restart
[04:37] <CerebroJD> thompa, I followed a walkthrough
[04:37] <Bonz> badkitty: GNOME works fine, GNOME with xgl doesn't
[04:37] <CerebroJD> one sec, I'll see if I can track it down
[04:37] <unagi> ?dm restart, stop start, killall x session
[04:37] <CerebroJD> (took like 4 tries)
[04:37] <thompa> CerebroJD: so just access the mac partition. I know it comes up read only
[04:37] <nerdygirl_ellie> brb.  I'm going to find a way to kill X.
[04:37] <unagi> if i run it from the terminal it doesnt bring back X
[04:37] <Bonz> badkitty: Yes I saved it and restarted my PC competely every time
[04:37] <nerdygirl_ellie> unagi: anything else I should know?
[04:37] <badkitty> BONZ: OH, ok.........
[04:37] <unagi> killing X isnt the problem its bringing it back automatically
[04:37] <younghacker> ok im in the file now
[04:37] <Dennace_Whitely> luisin_: it's me, PatrickMay16. I've just changed my name.
[04:37] <younghacker> what should i be editing
[04:37] <le1> nerdygirl_ellie: he
[04:37] <thompa> CerebroJD: im running gutsy on macbook intel . its fantastic
[04:37] <EADG_> unagi: startx perhaps?
[04:37] <Bonz> badkitty: Thanks for your help, one final question before I go :P
[04:38] <younghacker> i see listening port and it's set to local host already
[04:38] <luisin_> Dennace_Whitely, ok.
[04:38] <Bonz> badkitty: How do I uninstall all of this junk that does not work now xD
[04:38] <unagi> i can manually start x no problem
[04:38] <thompa> no more osx he he he
[04:38] <badkitty> Bonz: no luck in #beryl
[04:38] <unagi> i dont want to have to do that
[04:38] <younghacker> listening address rather
[04:38] <CerebroJD> thompa, yeah we've got Feisty running on the macbook from the livecd right now
[04:38] <nerdygirl_ellie> EADG_: it is not an easy answer, don't try. :)
[04:38] <Bonz> badkitty: Nope :(
[04:38] <CerebroJD> improved performance in Gutsy?
[04:38] <Justi1> CerebroJD: do you remember how you did it? Mine says that I don't have a composite extension... when I add one, my 3d driver gets disabled
[04:38] <thompa> CerebroJD: yes very
[04:38] <ant-> unagi, i thought we took care of this yesterday?
[04:38] <badkitty> Bonz: haha, you could try another tutoial somewhere, not all are the same.
[04:38] <unagi> lol  nerdygirl_ellie its so hard to explain why none of those solves the problem
[04:38] <younghacker> can someone help me with the postgres.config file
[04:38] <nerdygirl_ellie> unagi: I think it's that your script doesn't have the correct environment variables to restart the x session.
[04:38] <thompa> CerebroJD: I have only configured madwifi
[04:39] <thompa> CerebroJD: i removed osx
[04:39] <CerebroJD> do you know if WPA2 encryption is supported?
[04:39] <badkitty> Bonz: You can use synaptic and uincheck the ones you don't want
[04:39] <Bonz> badkitty: Oh well thanks anyways for everything...maybe I'll see ya around in here one day when I am stuck again xD
[04:39] <younghacker> smh
[04:39] <Bonz> badkitty Oh yes I could thx
[04:39] <unagi> nerdygirl_ellie: thats a great hypothesis but even if i run it from the command prompt
[04:39] <unagi> wait
[04:39] <unagi> brb
[04:39] <unagi> nevermind
[04:39] <badkitty> Bonz: try aptitude from the terminal too
[04:39] <unagi> yea if i run it from the terminal it wont complete
[04:39] <thompa> CerebroJD: i dont think isite works real well, but who cares I am too dumb for mac
[04:39] <ant-> unagi, killall -HUP, remember?
[04:40] <badkitty> you can mark for removal, and it has a retro feel to it that makes me happy
[04:40] <nerdygirl_ellie> younghacker: I think you need to uncomment that listen line and then comment out another line that says something about the socket /var/run/something
[04:40] <thompa> thompa: even dreamweaver did not work and too much crashing on web sites
[04:40] <Justi1> Has anyone successfully launched Beryl on a ATI X1400?
 amd 64 x2 4800+

[04:40] <ant-> unagi, i remember you saying it did...
[04:40] <cavalierprime> i can't get beryl to work with my ati x1600pro

[04:41] <dwxreaper> anyway I can make ubuntu use much less memory, with VMWARE it uses 4oomegs
[04:41] <nerdygirl_ellie> masterloki: run 32 bit...  64 bit needs a few years yet..
[04:41] <thompa> CerebroJD: do you want the link?
[04:41] <unagi> that kills gdm not x server right?
[04:41] <CerebroJD> yes please
[04:41] <badkitty> thank goodness for nvidia
[04:41] <Jamesinator> How do I apply changes to the Network Proxy settings without rebooting? sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't affect it.

[04:42] <ant-> badkitty, its a script
[04:42] <nerdygirl_ellie> koisoooo: resize them.

[04:42] <unagi> interesting...
[04:42] <badkitty> Oh, my brain is afk sorry
[04:42] <unagi> 1 second im going to put it in the script and try it
[04:42] <ant-> i told you

[04:48] <ant-> Llama052, they tell you how to get your card working, period.
[04:48] <unagi> ant- well i guess what i mean is if i write && killall avant-window-navigator...........is it going to wait for me to log back in?
[04:48] <Llama052> its not a card.. usb
[04:48] <thompa> CerebroJD: battery power is better
[04:49] <Fezzler> must be something at end of process
[04:49] <Paddy_EIRE> is it possible for me to make vlc the default embedded video player for divx on firefox?

[04:49] <thompa> or your asking for it

[04:49] <ant-> unagi, i dont understand the question
[04:49] <CerebroJD> Justi1, I'll try to find the walkthrough I used
[04:50] <thompa> CerebroJD: the easy way is to remove it at the command line
[04:50] <Justi1> cerebrojd: thanks
[04:50] <unagi> && means 'when process completes do the next' right?
[04:50] <Spaceman3750> I didn't think Beryl worked on 7.04?
[04:50] <Thanatos> Wait so, yoo-bun-too, or yoo-boon-too?
[04:50] <ant-> unagi, IF process completes
[04:50] <crimsun> ooboontoo.
[04:50] <Thanatos> THanks.

[04:51] <bkline_> Hi, I was directed here as a good place to find out how the Ubuntu bug tracking system works.
[04:51] <koisoooo> i've installed konqueror. how do i change nautilus to konqueror now?
[04:51] <Llama052> I have the Wireless setup , but its showing 0% and I dont think it detected the usb adapter
[04:51] <ant-> unagi, i would assume you'd have to log in first to kill the process
[04:51] <Thanatos> yuri: That was for installing Windows while on Linux. I'm wondering how to install Linux while on Windows.
[04:52] <bkline_> Bug 30483 is marked "Fix Released / completed 2006-03-09" but it's still broken in the current release of Ubuntu.
[04:52] <jscinoz> Hey guys, this isn't specifically ubuntu but: is Dual Link DVI-I compatible with HDMI with an adaptor? my new laptop has HDMI out but not Dual-Link DVI (which my monitor requires)
[04:52] <ant-> Llama052, type lsusb
[04:52] <nerdygirl_ellie> Hi bkline_:  Ubuntu bugs are tracked through launchpad.  What's your bug?
[04:52] <cotyrothery> and how would i emulate running a win32 app in wine
[04:52] <unagi> so is there a way to have the script wait for login?
[04:52] <Llama052> lsusb? where
[04:52] <ant-> Llama052, in the terminal
[04:52] <Llama052> I knew that :P
[04:52] <Llama052> kk hang on
[04:52] <bkline_> Can anyone tell me what "Fix released" means in the context of the Ubuntu bug tracking system?
[04:52] <ant-> Llama052, and then look to see if it detected your usb
[04:52] <nerdygirl_ellie> bkline_: what release of Ubuntu are you running?
[04:52] <thompa> itunes is really bad and the iphone is much worse than the nokia linux pda
[04:53] <thompa> ive tested them all anyway
[04:53] <Thanatos> Does anybody know? How to install Ubuntu while on WinXP? Using only the .iso (I have no CD-burner, but I do have an external drive, and an image mounter.)
[04:53] <Llama052> Okay... how do I open the terminal?
[04:53] <JuKen> I'd like to make my gnome panel size 19, but it won't go past 23 for some reason. I was able to do it on my laptop but I don't remember how, anyone know?
[04:53] <bkline_> It's the current released version (Feisty Fawn I think).  With all the updates.
[04:53] <stealth17> I'm trying to setup internet connection sharing. Internet is on eth0 and the sharing card is eth1. Why do I have a 0.0.0.0 line on my iptables? http://pb.theoverclocked.com/66
[04:53] <ant-> Llama052, depends on your desktop i guess
[04:53] <orbisvicis> Thanatos, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[04:53] <Llama052> default
[04:53] <thompa> whats a good program for converting my cd to mp3?
[04:53] <ant-> unagi, you can use a sleep function or something
[04:53] <JuKen> stealth17, often times 0.0.0.0 means all.
[04:53] <oxeimon3> Can someone here help me install the display drivers for an ATI videocard on an AMD64 machine?
[04:53] <bkline_> The bug is the broken database forms wizard in OOo.
[04:54] <Golden_Dennace> Thanatos, can you tell me where you got your name from?
[04:54] <astro76> Thanatos, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[04:54] <mneptok> bkline_: that will only make it into Feisty as a backport
[04:54] <ant-> Llama052, i forget how to get to it in gnome
[04:54] <nickrud> JuKen, you can do it with gconf-editor, navigate to apps/panel/toplevels/panel_x
[04:54] <ant-> Llama052 , under one of the menus
[04:54] <Llama052> crapola
[04:54] <Llama052> Im looking
[04:54] <JuKen> nickrud, thanks.
[04:54] <Llama052> its called Terminal?
[04:54] <ant-> yep
[04:54] <jstarcher> JuKen, how can I tell if I have my NAT settings correct? I followed the guide and the internet wont share still http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370
[04:54] <ant-> or something of the sort
[04:54] <SonnyJim> hey folks... does anyone have a spare demonoid invite?
[04:55] <Thanatos> Golden_Dennace: Well, I first familiarized myself with the word/name while watching Neon Genesis Evangelion, but it specifically refers to the Greek God of Death
[04:55] <mneptok> SonnyJim: wrong channel for that
[04:55] <thompa> CerebroJD: sabayon worked well also
[04:55] <Thanatos> orb, astro: Thanks!
[04:55] <bkline_> mneptok: So "released" has two different meanings here?
[04:55] <Golden_Dennace> I understand. I was expecting you to name Neon Genesis Evangelion.
[04:55] <lesshaste> what plays ogg files?
[04:55] <CerebroJD> thompa, I was going to try that as well, but it wont get me around the permissions problem that we're having
[04:55] <mneptok> bkline_: it may be released into the Gutsy tree
[04:55] <thompa> there are some cool games and beryl by default
[04:56] <thompa> CerebroJD: whats that
[04:56] <tom_> would i see a noticeable hit in performance if i ran my main ubuntu off an ide drive instead of sata?
[04:56] <ant-> Llama052, it should be under accessories or something
[04:56] <nerdygirl_ellie> bkline_: the note says that is fixed in dapper.  I think there is something else going on.
[04:56] <LouisvilleLIP> has anyone tried the dev version of compiz fusion?  I just saw a crazy video of it on youtube
[04:56] <Llama052> ok
[04:56] <Llama052> found it
[04:56] <Llama052> didnt look in there
[04:56] <thompa> CerebroJD: try gutsy first
[04:56] <oxeimon3> Can someone here help me install the display drivers for an ATI videocard on an AMD64 machine?
[04:56] <nerdygirl_ellie> tom_: the drive interface has minimal effect on the speed.  the drive is what matters.
[04:57] <orbisvicis> oxeimon3, #ubuntu-effects
[04:57] <CerebroJD> thomp, I'll burn that soon
[04:57] <koisoooo> how do i set konqueror as my default file browser and desktop in gnome?

[04:58] <Thanatos> astro76: I'm on the site and downloading InstLux, but...which one do I get?
[04:58] <nerdygirl_ellie> tom_: rpm, seek speed, cache amount.  the only real test is to try it.
[04:58] <Hellevator> can someone tell me how to resolve this error? "umount: /media/sda6 mount disagrees with the fstab"
[04:58] <Llama052> Nope
[04:58] <ant-> unagi, i guess it depends on what your scripting it in
[04:58] <tom_> nerdygirl_ellie: cheers
[04:58] <Llama052> just some of my logitech stuff and apple
[04:58] <unagi> text editor
[04:58] <lesshaste> Justi1, is that in some nonstandard repo?
[04:58] <ant-> unagi, but usually 'sleep time'
[04:58] <Thanatos> astro76: I assume it's the Instlux Ubuntu version
[04:58] <orbisvicis> oxeimon3, i would help, but dont have ati, so why dont you try /join #ubuntu-effects ... (the channel)
[04:58] <koisoooo> how do i set konqueror as my default file browser and desktop in gnome?? any clue?
[04:58] <koisoooo> thanks
[04:58] <oxeimon3> orbisvicis: ahh okay. didn't know ubuntu-effects is a channel :-D
[04:58] <PhantasyHawk> Can someone tell me really quick where the default htdocs folder is for apache 1.3?
[04:58] <lesshaste> Justi1, apt-cache search rockbox gives nothing
[04:58] <Thanatos> astro76: But then do I get  	instluxCDROMUbuntu6_06english.exe, or  	instluxNETUbuntu6_06english.exe
[04:59] <thompa> anybody
[04:59] <LouisvilleLIP> Package xmms-oggre
[04:59] <Thanatos> orbisvicis: Same question?
[04:59] <unagi> sleep time=10 or 10 seconds wait till the next command?
[04:59] <happyface> when using Alien to convert RPM files: Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package crossover-pro: postinst postrm preinst prerm... Should I use --scripts???

[04:59] <thompa> sound converter i guess
[04:59] <jstarcher> why cant I start dhcp3-server??????
[04:59] <ThanatosDrive> astro76: ?
[04:59] <ant-> unagi, but i dont know
[04:59] <ant-> unagi, thats just a guess
[04:59] <orbisvicis> oxeimon3, maybe try envy ... it automates the process for complicated install, poor-hardware support
[04:59] <lesshaste> what do I need to play ogg files?
[05:00] <Hellevator> what does "mount disagrees with the fstab" mean?
[05:00] <AngryElf> how can I count the number of lines in a file?
[05:00] <unagi> worked in the terminal
[05:00] <unagi> i bet itll work here
[05:00] <unagi> brb
[05:00] <LouisvilleLIP> lesshate: Package xmms-oggre
[05:00] <Spaceman3750> Lesshaste: the included media player will do it I believe
[05:00] <ant-> unagi, but you have to yourself enough time
[05:00] <unagi> i type fast
[05:00] <astro76> lesshaste, totem (included in ubuntu), audacious, xmms, many others
[05:00] <lesshaste> Spaceman3750, which included player??
[05:00] <astro76> ThanatosDrive, I'm assuming you want to install 7.04 not 6.06
[05:00] <nerdygirl_ellie> bkline_: do you have java installed?
[05:00] <PhantasyHawk> nickrud, thats it, thank you so much
[05:00] <ThanatosDrive> astro76: Yep.
[05:00] <DanaG> Is there any easy way to preview GDM themes?
[05:00] <orbisvicis> Thanatos, never tried it ... why not ... install.exe (at the bottom)

[05:01] <ant-> Llama052, about what?
[05:01] <DanaG> vps?  What is vps?
[05:01] <Llama052> my wireless
[05:01] <nickrud> DanaG, I'm not running it right at the moment, but I think system-admin-login manager shows them
[05:02] <ant-> Llama052, whats the model?
[05:02] <Llama052> WUSB11 v2.8
[05:02] <Llama052> Linksys
[05:02] <AngryElf> Hellevator, ty

[05:02] <DanaG> I want a large preview, not a tiny one.  :(
[05:02] <cougem> how do i tell what version of ubuntu i have?
[05:02] <astro76> ThanatosDrive, ahh you don't need instlux if you follow the Manual process instructions
[05:02] <milllmannn> virtual private server
[05:03] <DanaG> Instlux only installs Dapper.  :(
[05:03] <MrXorg> Anyone know how to view websites captured in wireshark?
[05:03] <lesshaste> is there a simple to use text to speech app>
[05:03] <nerdygirl_ellie> AngryElf: wc returns lines words and characters, though not necessarily in that order.
[05:03] <lesshaste> ?
[05:03] <ant-> Llama052, hold on
[05:03] <tigrfire> I've got a NTFS drive that I want to re-label, how do I do this?
[05:03] <rockets> tigrfire, I have been asking that same question for like a year!
[05:03] <bkline_> mneptok: I thought "backport" meant porting from a more recent version to an older version; isn't Dapper (where the fix has been applied) older than Feisty (the version I'm running)?
[05:04] <osxdude|laptop> tigrfire: use windows :P
[05:04] <cougem> is there a command to show what version of ubuntu i have?
[05:04] <Flannel> cougem: lsb_release -a
[05:04] <nerdygirl_ellie> tigrfire: ntfs label or disklabel?
[05:04] <ThanatosDrive> astro76: Thanks! I'll try that instead then.
[05:04] <cougem> thanks
[05:04] <tigrfire> yeah I was thinking ntfslabel
[05:04] <MrXorg> cougem: name
[05:04] <Llama052> /
[05:04] <Llama052> ?
[05:04] <MrXorg> nname*
[05:04] <Llama052> Roger ant :)
[05:04] <nerdygirl_ellie> ntfs label, go to windows and run label at the cli.  linux label, use fdisk.
[05:04] <rockets> cougem, no, but uname -a will give you the kernel version, and you can probably figure it out that way. as long as you didnt compile your own
[05:04] <kr00lplatinum> anyone know a good wardriving channel for ubuntu linux?
[05:05] <rockets> cougem, actually go to system -> about ubuntu. its in there
[05:05] <rockets> cougem, so there ya go
[05:05] <tigrfire> I tried that and the error I got was.. Well, not really an error, but will it hurt to force ntfslabel on a disk that is mounted?
[05:05] <LouisvilleLIP> cougem, do you have gnome or KDE?
[05:05] <Llama052> anyone know how to make dual monitors not mirror but expand onto?????
[05:05] <LouisvilleLIP> do what rockets said
[05:05] <cougem> hi i have dapper 6.06 but i want to upgrade to 7.04. is there any easy way to do this from within ubuntu? or do i have to burn a cd and all that stuff and reinstall over the top? will the automatic update thing do it for me or does that just upgrade programs but not ubuntu?
[05:05] <badkitty> llama nvidia?
[05:05] <Llama052> Ati
[05:05] <unagi> ok so the sleep function isnt working in the script
[05:05] <unagi> im going to try it with && sleep
[05:05] <rockets> cougem, yeah if you run the program that checks for updates, it will say a new distro is availible, use that

[05:06] <osxdude|laptop> donde estas ubotu?
[05:06] <rockets> cougem, System -> Administration -> Update Manager
[05:06] <cougem> thanks!
[05:06] <Llama052> ant you have no idea :( about the drivers?
[05:06] <LDZ420> !ant
[05:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ant - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:06] <rockets> cougem, Glad I could help!
[05:06] <badkitty> osxdude: that was his name dude
[05:06] <ste-foy> No I don't Llama052
[05:06] <ant-> Llama052, no idea about the drivers
[05:06] <astro76> !update | cougem you don't need a cd
[05:06] <ubotu> cougem you don't need a cd: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:06] <Llama052> Crap
[05:06] <Hellevator> is there a way to check data integrity after I run cp? I want to be sure that cp made a perfect copy
[05:06] <LouisvilleLIP> also System >About Ubuntu>Version and Release Numbers
[05:06] <Golden_Dennace> Does anyone know if you will be able to upgrade straight from one LTS release to another?
[05:06] <jstarcher> can someone help me? I cannot start dhcp3-server!
[05:07] <rockets> HellDragon, check md5 sums
[05:07] <badkitty> !twinview | Llama052
[05:07] <tigrfire> So, will it hurt to use -f (force) with ntfslabel while a drive is mounted? If so, what command should I run with fdisk?
[05:07] <ubotu> Llama052: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[05:07] <Llama052> I found a linux driver online... how would I go about installing... lol theres like 15 different files
[05:07] <rockets> HellDragon, the command is md5sum
[05:07] <LouisvilleLIP> llama, is this an ATI driver?
[05:07] <Llama052> yeah
[05:07] <badkitty> Yes Louis
[05:07] <Golden_Dennace> I heard that right now, you can't upgrade straight from dapper to 7.04. You have to go from 6.06 to 6.10 to 7.04.
[05:07] <Llama052> but for some reason it shows in the restricted drivers list
[05:07] <LouisvilleLIP> have you checked the forums?  I've found tons of ATI stuff in there
[05:07] <unagi> that didnt work
[05:07] <LouisvilleLIP> 15 files sounds odd
[05:07] <unagi> sigh
[05:08] <tigrfire> ATI drivers.. fun.
[05:08] <Llama052> oh no thats for my wireless driver
[05:08] <LouisvilleLIP> I have ATI, mine wasn't too bad
[05:08] <LouisvilleLIP> ah
[05:08] <badkitty> Llama: try googling twinview ATI ubuntu
[05:08] <unagi> anyone good at scripting?
[05:08] <jstarcher> will someone PLEASE help me????
[05:08] <Llama052> heh Im looking at that Xineramahowto
[05:08] <Golden_Dennace> jstarcher, what do you need help with?
[05:08] <Llama052> What do you do with the code?
[05:08] <rockets> LouisvilleLIP, yeah ati works fine. except in 7.04 when you log out it freezes, unless you set X to restart after every logout
[05:08] <nerdygirl_ellie> To determine your Ubuntu version at the cli, cat /etc/lsb-release
[05:08] <rockets> LouisvilleLIP, not to mention, no composite extension, so AIGLX doesnt work
[05:08] <gravemind> will someone help me with a hibernation issue?
[05:08] <jstarcher> Golden_Dennace, I am trying to get NAT to work and I can't get dhcp3-server to start
[05:08] <unagi> dang it we are about to sail and my battery is about to die
[05:09] <unagi> does anyone know how to convert .mov to image sequences?
[05:09] <badkitty> Llama: what code?
[05:09] <Golden_Dennace> Oh my goodness. That's out of my league. Heh heh heh.
[05:09] <Llama052> The Xinerama code
[05:09] <gravemind> unagi:zamzar.com
[05:09] <unagi> ty
[05:09] <LouisvilleLIP> yeah, I use XGL, but, it's not terrible
[05:09] <rockets> unagi, that would be a lot of freaking images
[05:09] <unagi> i know
[05:09] <unagi> but its neccesary
[05:09] <gravemind> unagi: I hope you like really large file sizes
[05:09] <Golden_Dennace> I would suggest posting on linuxquestions.org, someone there would probably know what to do
[05:09] <rockets> LouisvilleLIP, XGL is fine, unless you want to run SOMETHING ELSE that's opengl on top of it. Like a game.
[05:09] <rockets> LouisvilleLIP, Which I do CONSTANTLY
[05:09] <unagi> you have no idea
[05:09] <unagi> if i decide to work with HD
[05:09] <unagi> theyll be HUGE!
[05:09] <gravemind> lol yeah
[05:09] <rockets> unagi, out of curiosity, what are you trying to do?
[05:09] <tigrfire> So.. anyone can help out then?
[05:10] <LouisvilleLIP> how are you doing that?  You show up in red when you are talking to me
[05:10] <unagi> im an animator/compositor
[05:10] <badkitty> Llama: see if there is some sort of repository for your drivers that you can add and then update and apt-get install (drivers)
[05:10] <unagi> theyll really be big if i decide to use .tiff or .tga =)
[05:10] <gravemind> unagi: try zamzar though, choose to convert the video to an image format I think
[05:10] <rockets> unagi, right . . . so why do you need individual images for each frame? (I know nothing about this subject)
[05:10] <badkitty> Louis: put a colon after their name
[05:10] <LouisvilleLIP> ah
[05:10] <ThanatosDrive> I'm a junior in high school aspiring to be a programmer; would you suggest server or desktop distribution of Ubuntu?
[05:10] <LouisvilleLIP> badkitty: ty
[05:10] <Llama052> badkitty do you have msn? I cant filter these chats
[05:10] <nerdygirl_ellie> unagi:  I !think! imagemagick can do it, and I know mencoder can.
[05:10] <unagi> zamzar does it over the net..........correct?
[05:10] <rockets> ThanatosDrive, are you running it on your regular computer?
[05:10] <unagi> mencoder definately can?
[05:10] <nerdygirl_ellie> ThanatosDrive: desktop
[05:10] <badkitty> Llama: no
[05:10] <rockets> ThanatosDrive, and you want to surf the web with it and use aim?
[05:10] <rockets> ThanatosDrive, desktop
[05:11] <Llama052> crap
[05:11] <Llama052> Can someone get on msn and help me?
[05:11] <gravemind> unagi: yes. I've never tried mencoder
[05:11] <ThanatosDrive> rockets; nerdygirl_ellie: Thanks!
[05:11] <nerdygirl_ellie> unagi: yes, it reads a movie in and outputs it however you say, in this case to a metric assload of jpgs.
[05:12] <nerdygirl_ellie> unagi: it's part of the mplayer package on Redhat, I assume it is the same on Ubuntu
[05:12] <unagi> rockets........3d tracking programs usually require images rather than a video file to track the sequence
[05:12] <rockets> ThanatosDrive, the server edition is entire command-line based. its for SERVERS :-P
[05:12] <Golden_Dennace> Does anyone here use Gens for linux?
[05:12] <rockets> unagi, ah ok. interesting.
[05:12] <Llama052> when I download drivers just download them for linux?
[05:12] <unagi> its not included but im installing it now nerdygirl_ellie
[05:12] <gravemind> unagi: zamzar is probalby simpler than mencoder, but try a short movie first, cause zamzar's results have been interesting
[05:12] <lesshaste> anyone here know how you choose british english in festival??
[05:12] <Frogzoo> ThanatosDrive: you want desktop
[05:12] <unagi> does zamzar do it over the net?
[05:12] <gravemind> unagi: yes
[05:13] <unagi> that wouldnt work then
[05:13] <tigrfire> I just tried ntfslabel after I unmounted the volume and when I remounted it had the same label as before.
[05:13] <gravemind> unagi: no internet access?
[05:13] <tigrfire> Is this because when I mount again using Terminal it just assigns it a label with the mount command (and I'm not specifying one?)
[05:13] <Tama00_> linux doesnt use those thumb.db files aye
[05:13] <Tama00_> so is it safe to just remove them all
[05:13] <Tama00_> im thinking like maybe for slocate thumb.db do rm $x or however u do it
[05:13] <unagi> its not that....its just a 5 second file is 150 images at about a meg a piece
[05:14] <Tama00_> so how do you do it:P
[05:14] <unagi> nerdygirl_ellie: do you know how to use mencoder?
[05:14] <nerdygirl_ellie> Tama00_: yes, and all of the desktop.ini files can go too.
[05:14] <Tama00_> yay
[05:14] <Frogzoo> Tama00_: find /usb/mount -name thumb.db -exec rm {} \;
[05:14] <rockets> in fact all the hidden files can go.
[05:14] <Tama00_> :D
[05:14] <gravemind> unagi: yeah it would be a huge download. mencoder would be better
[05:14] <Tama00_> thanks
[05:14] <nerdygirl_ellie> unagi: I have to futz with it every time.
[05:14] <rockets> files normally hidden under windows that is
[05:14] <gravemind> yawn, so can anyone help me with getting hibernate to work?
[05:14] <bruenig> Frogzoo, quotes around the {} right?
[05:14] <Lgndryhr> does anyone know how to get a bluetooth phone to connect to a belkin usb bluetooth adapter (model: F8T012)
[05:15] <Lgndryhr> and allow me to send files to the phone
[05:15] <thinksInCode> Hey all!
[05:15] <Frogzoo> bruenig: it works as is
[05:15] <osxdude|lapto1> technical diffs
[05:15] <rockets> Lgndryhr, its possible receiving files is locked on your phone
[05:15] <bruenig> have I been pointlessly using quotes
[05:15] <Frogzoo> bruenig: lol
[05:15] <thinksInCode> i finally solved my bizarre external HD problem
[05:15] <thinksInCode> if anyone was interested
[05:15] <Lgndryhr> right now i can get my belkin to see my phone

[05:16] <Llama052> ok
[05:16] <lesshaste> anyone know of a system for text to speech for latex documents?
[05:16] <rockets> Jsp, yeah, you use bootcamp to like trick it into thinking its installing windows or something. if you google ubuntu macbook dual boot it should come up
[05:16] <rockets> or tri-boot
[05:16] <Lgndryhr> and when i type in sudo hidd --connect <my cell's address>
[05:16] <nerdygirl_ellie> thinksInCode: nope, but there have been 3 or 4 of them today.:)
[05:16] <thinksInCode> haha
[05:16] <Lgndryhr> i dont get an error saying it couldnt connect
[05:17] <thinksInCode> in summary, the problem was as described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2999433#post2999433

[05:17] <unagi> nerdygirl_ellie: can you give me an example of the command line its looking for
[05:17] <Arrick> how do I get the blasted LAMP to install the mysql without having to manually install every blasted thing?>
[05:17] <xerxes31415> can someone help me with some basic questions about linux and Ubuntu and such?
[05:17] <rockets> nerdygirl_ellie, asoundconf is your friend :-D
[05:17] <jcb> hmm just like a YM
[05:17] <rockets> nerdygirl_ellie, thats how i got my usb headset working
[05:17] <jcb> test
[05:17] <LouisvilleLIP> xerxes31415: ask away
[05:17] <Jsp> gravemind: just curious, why did he go back
[05:17] <Lgndryhr> im not worried about an usb headset i'm talking about a bluetooth phone

[05:17] <rockets> More specifically, asoundconf list and asoundconf set-default-card foobar
[05:17] <nerdygirl_ellie> xerxes31415: sure.
[05:18] <ThanatosDrive> astro76: I've done what the Manual Install has told me to do, but where do I place the .iso of Ubuntu? Anywhere I like?
[05:18] <Jsp> rockets: i did, and it had me use rEFIt, but when i used rEFIt to boot either the windows or ubuntu partition, they both started grub
[05:18] <gravemind> Jsp: windows for games, mac for everything else. He just didn't need ubuntu on it, it just complicated things.
[05:18] <nerdygirl_ellie> !anyone | xerces31415
[05:18] <ubotu> xerces31415: 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?
[05:18] <rockets> Jsp, I donnu man. Can't really help you. What I just told you is just what I've seen around on the net. I don't actually have a mac
[05:19] <Arrick> anyone have any idea?
[05:19] <Arrick> !mysql
[05:19] <rockets> Hey its good ol' arrick
[05:19] <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+)
[05:19] <astro76> ThanatosDrive, actually you don't need it, it's a netinstall
[05:19] <Jsp> rockets, thanks anyway, and thanks for trying
[05:19] <rockets> jsp sorry :(
[05:19] <gravemind> jsp: you can actually get lots of linux programs ported to mac, because mac is built on unix
[05:19] <rockets> Arrick, with the server install you can just choose LAMP installation. if thats what you're talking about
[05:19] <Jsp> gravemind, it certainly does, hahah
[05:19] <nerdygirl_ellie> Arrick: I do.  I think a mailbox with a light inside would be neat, so you could see the mail inside.... But that's probably not the idea you are looking for.
[05:19] <astro76> ThanatosDrive, at the bottom of the page is CD instructions, but you need the Alternate CD
[05:20] <Llama052> wow this is ooo so hard
[05:20] <rockets> Arrick, but afaik there is no LAMP metapackage or anything
[05:20] <cotyrothery> Does world of warcraft run better on crossover pro than it does on wine?
[05:20] <Arrick> rockets, it doesnt install MySQL when you run the LAMP from server install, nor does it install Apache
[05:20] <Jsp> gravemind, i've dabbled a little in osx's terminal (bourn again shell heh) just wanted to play some with it
[05:20] <LouisvilleLIP> how do I get my menu bar back in xchat?
[05:20] <xerxes31415> Can anyone tell me why I can run KDE programs while I'm on a gnome system?  (It seems that those two are mutually exclusive, but I might be wrong)
[05:20] <rockets> Arrick, huh . . . that makes no sense. I'm fairly certain it does . .
[05:20] <LogicalDash> Hey guys, I've got this .xkb file that describes an alternate keyboard layout I want to use. How do I install it?
[05:20] <Arrick> yeah, the LTS does, but not the newer server distro, its broke
[05:20] <Lgndryhr> i just got my phone to connect but i need a pin for my computer so my cell can connect
[05:20] <rockets> Arrick, last time I did it, it worked just fine. . . but I don't remember what version it was
[05:21] <Lgndryhr> and allow transfer
[05:21] <rockets> Arrick, so whats wrong with LTS?
[05:21] <nerdygirl_ellie> xerxes31415: you can run them, but they will load all the kde libraries, which effectively doubles the memory usage.
[05:21] <younghacker> I have reinstalled postgresql now at the end of the process it gives me error messages while turning the server on
[05:21] <gravemind> Jsp: I mostly use the command line for cdrdao : )
[05:21] <ThanatosDrive> astro76: netinstall? Does that mean it'll pull the files from online?
[05:21] <LogicalDash> xerxes31415, both kde and gnome are variants of the X11 window system, the only difference is that they have different common libraries
[05:21] <Lgndryhr> my cell is asking for a pin to connec to my comp
[05:21] <xerxes31415> ah
[05:21] <cotyrothery> nerdygirl_ellie: does world of warcraft run better on crossover pro than wine?
[05:21] <Arrick> rockets, I already have 20 webs running on the next distro, and now I need the blasted Mysql that should have installed with LAMP
[05:21] <rockets> Lgndryhr, try like 0000 or something
[05:21] <rockets> Arrick, heh.
[05:21] <astro76> ThanatosDrive, yes
[05:21] <ThanatosDrive> astro76: Alright, rebooting my PC now. Wish me luck.
[05:22] <younghacker> smh @ Arrick tell me about it
[05:22] <xerxes31415> ah ok, i got it
[05:22] <Lgndryhr> 0000 didnt work
[05:22] <Lgndryhr> nor did 00000
[05:22] <rockets> Lgndryhr, thats the default for a lot of phones. idk man
[05:22] <nerdygirl_ellie> cotyrothery: it worked so well under wine that I never tried crossover.  I keep meaning to install office, but openoffice keeps meeting my needs.
[05:22] <rockets> Lgndryhr, there must be some bluetooth tool to let you set the pin
[05:22] <Tama00_> whats the command so i can see what servies are running from init.d?
[05:22] <Lgndryhr> i know my cell's is 0000
[05:22] <rockets> Tama00_, ps -aef
[05:22] <Lgndryhr> but i need to know my bluetooth's/comp's
[05:22] <nerdygirl_ellie> rockets: there is a tool to set the pin on the pc, but I can never find it.
[05:22] <Lgndryhr> brb
[05:22] <rockets> nerdygirl_ellie, thats what i just said :-D
[05:22] <gravemind> jsg: ubuntu does have better package management than windows and mac combined, so that would be a good reason to keep it
[05:23] <cotyrothery> nerdygirl_ellie: well i noticed when i ran one programe once in wine and once in crossover pro that it took 4 seconds for it to install in crossover and like 5 or more in wine
[05:23] <nerdygirl_ellie> rockets: hidtool, hcitool, something?
[05:23] <LouisvilleLIP> I know ellie said she hadn't, but has anyone run Office in wine?
[05:23] <rockets> nerdygirl_ellie, no idea.
[05:23] <lesshaste> hmm... when trying to install the app detex I get
[05:23] <younghacker> ok someone help me figure out why my server is no longer running even after i completely removed and reinstalled the server the client and the admin gui and data ,, now at the end of installation the server never starts
[05:23] <Tama00_> rockets, that shows like every process
[05:23] <lesshaste> The following packages have unmet dependencies.
[05:23] <lesshaste>   texlive-extra-utils: Depends: texlive-base but it is not going to be installed
[05:23] <lesshaste> E: Broken packages
[05:23] <lesshaste> any ideas?
[05:23] <rockets> Tama00_, yeah it does. what do you think services are?
[05:23] <LouisvilleLIP> I do a lot of work in Office, and OO doesn't seem to be able to do what I need
[05:23] <Tama00_> i would like to know the services that are started from init.d
[05:23] <younghacker> Is the server running locally and accepting
[05:23] <younghacker> 	connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
[05:23] <rockets> Tama00_, ooh
[05:23] <Lgndryhr> im tyring hcitool
[05:23] <Lgndryhr> to see if i can find it
[05:23] <rockets> Tama00_, the ones that run at boot?
[05:23] <younghacker> thats the question that they asked me
[05:23] <rockets> Tama00_, sudo apt-get install rcconf
[05:23] <Tama00_> rockets, yup them ones
[05:23] <rockets> then run rcconf
[05:24] <Tama00_> okay neat, thanks RoC_MasterMind
[05:24] <Tama00_> rockets,
[05:24] <nerdygirl_ellie> LouisvilleLIP: really, what can't it do?  other than read data from a sql server with ms query analyzer?
[05:24] <rockets> lets you enable/disable services that run at boot, and therfore provides you with a list
[05:24] <younghacker> can someone please help me figure this out
[05:24] <younghacker> please
[05:24] <bkline_> nerdygirl_ellie: Yes, I have Java installed (gij, the GNU version of the Java runtime interpreter).
[05:24] <Tama00_> rockets, thats exactly what im after;)
[05:24] <nerdygirl_ellie> LouisvilleLIP: Maybe I'll write a plugin. ;)
[05:24] <cotyrothery> younghacker: what is it you need help with?
[05:24] <rockets> bkline_, its kinda substandard
[05:24] <cap> does mounting hard drives speed browsing?>?
[05:24] <LouisvilleLIP> nerdygirl_ellie: I haven't actually tried, but my understanding is that VBA doesn't work the same
[05:24] <rockets> Tama00_, well there you go
[05:24] <younghacker> figuring out what happend to postgresql and fixing it,, Is the server running locally and accepting
[05:24] <younghacker> 	connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
[05:24] <nerdygirl_ellie> bkline_: how would you feel about the sun JRE?
[05:24] <younghacker> thats my error message
[05:25] <rockets> Tama00_, after you install rcconf, do sudo update-rcconf-guide then do sudo rcconf
[05:25] <bkline_> rockets: Well, I guess that's what Ubuntu installed, either by default, or as an OOo dependency.
[05:25] <Tama00_> rockets, oh neato;)
[05:25] <LouisvilleLIP> nerdygirl_ellie: I wish it would work, it's the only reason I keep windows installed
[05:25] <cotyrothery> younghacker: Im not sure what that is
[05:25] <Lgndryhr> hmm
[05:25] <unagi> nerdygirl_ellie:  can u give me an example of the command its looking for?
[05:25] <Lgndryhr> still no luck
[05:26] <younghacker> ok
[05:26] <Lgndryhr> brb some more work
[05:26] <nerdygirl_ellie> cap you have to mount the to read any data off it.
[05:26] <nerdygirl_ellie> unagi: ?
[05:26] <younghacker> does anyone in here know what postgreql is
[05:26] <rockets> I believe the bluetooth tool to set your pin is hcitool
[05:26] <bkline_> nerdygirl_ellie: Don't have any strong feelings about it one way or the other.  Are you thinking the bug is caused by the Java runtime implementation Ubuntu installed?
[05:26] <rockets> younghacker, postresql is a database
[05:26] <rockets> or rather a database server
[05:26] <younghacker> ok can u help me fix mine
[05:26] <nerdygirl_ellie> LouisvilleLIP: I've heard great things about Crossover pro, just have never need it.
[05:26] <unagi> mencoder nerdygirl_ellie
[05:26] <Lgndryhr> i know that much rocketx
[05:26] <rockets> younghacker, nope. I know nothing about it :-D
[05:26] <Lgndryhr> *rockets
[05:26] <unagi> its command line based right?
[05:26] <younghacker> smh
[05:26] <rockets> LGKeiz, oh ok
[05:26] <younghacker> jeez luise
[05:26] <bkline_> nerdygirl_ellie: I've seen discussions that hint that it might be related to which Java compiler was used, but never anything about which interpreter.
[05:27] <Lgndryhr> im trying to fingure out what command should come next to set it
[05:27] <nerdygirl_ellie> bkline_: I think so.  OOo used to be all java, and I think you've hit a leftover.
[05:27] <Lgndryhr> b/c it lists commands i can use
[05:27] <cougem> hi i run the update manager and it says some updates require the removal of further software and that i should run 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade', but when i do it upgrades nothing, but says 2 aren't updated
[05:27] <rockets> LGKeiz, default pin is 1234
[05:27] <rockets> Lgndryhr, default pin is 1234
[05:27] <younghacker> why would my server just go off and even after i reinstall everything it just gives the same error message as before
[05:27] <rockets> Lgndryhr, /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
[05:27] <cougem> and the update manager also says it skips checkinstall and compiz-plugins
[05:27] <Lgndryhr> ah k
[05:27] <Lgndryhr> i shall check it out
[05:27] <cougem> why does it say this? i want to upgrade form 7.04 to 6
[05:27] <younghacker> what is not being uninstalled or what happend to make the server not listen for connections?
[05:28] <xerxes31415> how do I get dalnet to let me connect? (it gets hung up at the checking ident portion, and says there's "No ident response")
[05:28] <rockets> Lgndryhr, if you do less /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf the pin si right there and you can change it
[05:28] <younghacker> why have the permissions changed on the server for the var/ directory
[05:28] <rockets> cougem, you cant upgrade to anything FROM 7.04, its the newest availible stable release
[05:28] <astro76> younghacker, did you use --purge with apt-get remove? otherwise the config files remain.
[05:28] <younghacker> does anyone know the answer to this
[05:28] <rockets> well you could upgrade to gutsy I guess . . .
[05:28] <younghacker> THANK YOU
[05:28] <cougem> i want to ipgrade TO 7.04 sorry
[05:28] <Lgndryhr> yea it is
[05:28] <Lgndryhr> 1234
[05:28] <Lgndryhr> thanks
[05:28] <younghacker> how do i use it
[05:28] <Lgndryhr> i shall check to see if it will work
[05:28] <bkline_> nerdygirl_ellie: Thanks, I'll install Sun's JRE and see if that helps.  Any tips on getting OOo to use a specific JRE (without messing up Ubuntu's ability to keep things updated)?
[05:28] <astro76> younghacker, 4th one down https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto
[05:28] <Mikeh> I got rid of Compiz
[05:28] <rockets> cougem, right, so use the upgrade to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10, and then upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04. Either that or reinstall from a 7.04 disk
[05:29] <Flannel> younghacker: You might try #postgresql (or maybe the channel is #postgres, they both exist)
[05:29] <rockets> cougem, upgrade manager rather
[05:29] <Mikeh> I got rid of Compiz, installed Beryl, and now I want compiz back, but the  "desktop effects" button is gone, how do I re-enable it?
[05:29] <unagi> anyone know how to use mencoder?
[05:29] <cougem> how do i do that? when i run the upgrade tool it doesn't do anything, just says run apt-get dist-upgrade, but that doesnt do anything
[05:29] <LouisvilleLIP> Mikeh: why?
[05:29] <cougem> except bypass checkinstall upgrades
[05:29] <Flannel> !upgrade | cougem
[05:29] <ubotu> cougem: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:29] <rockets> there ya go cougem
[05:29] <cougem> thanks
[05:30] <rockets> Flannel, i always forget about ubotu
[05:30] <Lgndryhr> hmm odd they wont pair
[05:30] <nerdygirl_ellie> your bluetooth pin should be in  /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
[05:30] <Lgndryhr> i know
[05:30] <rockets> nerdygirl_ellie, told him that already
[05:30] <Lgndryhr> and i found it
[05:30] <Mikeh> LouisvilleLIP, because I messed up and pressed enter before I finished typing my question :)
[05:30] <nickrud> bkline_, tools->options->openoffice.org->java
[05:31] <nerdygirl_ellie> and bluetooth-applet should be able to change it.
[05:31] <LouisvilleLIP> Mikeh: I just realized that something wasn't quite right.  You are using Compiz Fusion?
[05:31] <Mikeh> erm, whichever one is in synaptic LouisvilleLIP
[05:31] <Lgndryhr> hmm belkin's site has linux drivers
[05:31] <nerdygirl_ellie> goodnight all, I'm going to click Mom's morphine pump and go to sleep.
[05:32] <bkline_> nickrud, nerdygirl_ellie, et al.: thanks, all; off to try ellie's fix
[05:32] <LouisvilleLIP> g'night
[05:32] <JuKen> Can the ATI Rage 128 Ultra Pro use 1280x1024?
[05:32] <Lgndryhr> night nerdygirl
[05:32] <conorkirkpatrick> Night
[05:32] <Lgndryhr> thanks for ur help
[05:32] <Lgndryhr> while you were here
[05:32] <conorkirkpatrick> helped me too :d
[05:32] <LouisvilleLIP> Mikeh: I'm not familiar with that button.  Was it a Compiz button?  It might be called something else now
[05:32] <cougem> ok i did 'gksu "update-manager -c"' like it said guys and it still says cannot install all available updates saying it'll skip checkinstall and compiz-plugins
[05:32] <conorkirkpatrick> Why does my Ubuntu installer keep crashing?
[05:33] <Mikeh> it said "enable desktop effects" under the preferences menu
[05:33] <LouisvilleLIP> Mikeh: It's called CompizConfig Settings Manager now
[05:33] <nickrud> cougem, upgrading your distribution?
[05:33] <LouisvilleLIP> Mikeh: Do you have it?
[05:33] <cougem> yes nick
[05:34] <nickrud> cougem, simplest solution would be to remove them, do the upgrade, then reinstall them.
[05:34] <cougem> i looked at the webpage someone here gave me, im using 6.06, tried to upgrade to 6.10 using the command it said, but it isnt upgrading
[05:34] <cougem> ok how do i remove them? checkinstall sounds important lol
[05:34] <nickrud> cougem, nah, it's for making down and dirty deb packages from source, if you don't know what it is, you don't need it ;)
[05:35] <cougem> ok
[05:35] <cougem> cool
[05:35] <JuKen> Anyone know if an ATI Rage 128 Ultra Pro supports the 1280x1024 resolution?
[05:35] <cougem> so how do i get rid of them?
[05:35] <cougem> ooo randomly it works! aha
[05:35] <nickrud> cougem, sudo apt-get remove checkinstall compiz-plugins
[05:35] <Mikeh> no
[05:35] <Lgndryhr> brb laundry
[05:36] <rockets> Has there been any news about how well, or how poorly, ubuntu dells have been selling?
[05:36] <conorkirkpatrick> JuKen: Max Res: 120 Hz @ 1600 x 1200
[05:36] <conorkirkpatrick> :O
[05:36] <conorkirkpatrick> It's edgy
[05:36] <JuKen> conorkirkpatrick, then I can't figure out why it won't allow me to put it on 1280x1024 with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.
[05:37] <conorkirkpatrick> Bow down.
[05:37] <nickrud> !fixres | JuKen
[05:37] <conorkirkpatrick> JuKen: sorry, I don't know, does your monitor support that resolution?

[05:37] <ubuntuEdgy> hi i seem to have a problem with permissions , they wont change when i change them. i get because it is on a read-only disk
[05:37] <LouisvilleLIP> Mikeh: what happens when you type in (exec compiz --replace &) in the terminal
[05:37] <xerxes31415> what's a program I can use to open .rpm files (running Ubuntu 7.04)?
[05:37] <conorkirkpatrick> JuKen: or push CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE

[05:42] <cougem> hi i managed to get as far as clicking the update button in the update manager and accepted the conditions, but then i get an error message saying it failed to fetch 6 .gz files, and that its usually a network problem, but most are 404 errors, and then it halts
[05:42] <ubuntuEdgy> turns out i sudo is not good enough i had to sudo su

[05:51] <nickrud> ToastMaster, if you've never done an install, then you don't have grub. (oh, you're the guy with no cd and trying from windows, right?)
[05:51] <james296> but it has only root permissions...
[05:51] <james296> should they be?

[05:53] <echosystm> so i dont know how big to make /
[05:53] <echosystm> 20gb?
[05:53] <ToastMaster> It says loading Linux shell
[05:53] <Frogzoo_> echo separate /var is useful too if you run mysql/www

[05:57] <n8of9> Does anyone here know how to swap audio channels in Edgy?
[05:58] <nickrud> james296, it looks like you have hda1 listed twice in there; once as a uuid
[05:58] <james296> then thats the problem I dunno how that happened though
[05:58] <james296> how can I fix that?
[05:58] <nickrud> james296, put a # in front of line 12 and reboot
[05:58] <james296> ok
[05:59] <Doc_Bio> anyone here got experience with vmware server running windows xp?

[05:59] <Doc_Bio> anyone?
[06:00] <conorkirkpatrick> Does Ubuntu's install take this long for everyone?
[06:00] <astro76> james296, that's ok the /dev entries that have corresponding UUIDs are commented out
[06:00] <nickrud> astro76, he's got hda1 mounted in /media as well
[06:01] <astro76> nickrud, ahh whoops
[06:01] <Doc_Bio> hello?

[06:03] <conorkirkpatrick> bruenig: sorry
[06:03] <nickrud> conorkirkpatrick, try /msg ubotu ###
[06:03] <james296> how come when I try to replace the system-upgrade icon in Synaptic, it still doesnt seem to change?
[06:03] <conorkirkpatrick> echosystem: all nvidia cards are in nvidia-glx
[06:03] <echosystm> okies
[06:04] <conorkirkpatrick> nickrud: thnx
[06:04] <james296> oh and btw Im still gettin that error message...

[06:05] <conorkirkpatrick> anybody: how long did your ubuntu install take?
[06:05] <james296> that was already accomplished, wheres Flannel?
[06:05] <nickrud> james296, I mean the one you rebooted with
[06:05] <Biteyni> :( ubuntu does not want to be installed!
[06:05] <Nutubuntu> conorkirkpatrick, the *last* one took about 45min :)
[06:06] <james296> it still says permission denied
[06:06] <conorkirkpatrick> Nutubuntu: mine is been taking forever, or it could be my lack of pationce
[06:06] <Frogzoo_> conorkirkpatrick: 15-20min
[06:06] <james296> am I supposed to type that in with sudo?
[06:06] <Flannel> james296: what does?
[06:06] <nickrud> james296, what's it?
[06:06] <james296> when I paste /etc/fstab in the terminal
[06:06] <frijole_> has anyone here dual booted ubuntu and gentoo?
[06:06] <conorkirkpatrick> If you look up the chat log, you can see me yelling out my %'age
[06:07] <Biteyni> ha im still trying to get the cd to load install thing faster
[06:07] <jwiles> frijole: i've got a triple boot, two of which are ubuntu and gentoo
[06:07] <Nutubuntu> conorkirkpatrick,  I used the Minimal CD and ignored the progress meter, which stuck at 6% and again at some much higher %, I forget what, for long periods of time, both
[06:07] <Lgndryhr> i am back and now got my cell to pair with my comp but cant find the right processes or something
[06:07] <Biteyni> it takes forever for the cd to just open the install thing
[06:07] <Biteyni> then it freezes
[06:07] <Biteyni> so i cant install ubuntu
[06:07] <frijole_> im having trouble with the x server
[06:07] <conorkirkpatrick> nutubuntu: Ok, Im just worried the installer will crash again :(
[06:08] <frijole_> it wont let me install because x server is not configured correctly
[06:08] <Nutubuntu> Biteyni, is this the Desktop CD? If so I would recommend trying the alternate install or the minimal ... both are text based and both offer a few choices that aren't there in the Desktop install
[06:08] <james296> ok I guess it will just be faster if I do a reinstallation../
[06:08] <echosystm> im doing an alt install
[06:08] <jwiles> frijole: won't let you install ubuntu or something else?
[06:08] <Llama052> Hey guys im back
[06:08] <nickrud> james296, no. I'll take a step back. Open a terminal
[06:08] <echosystm> ive written out all the commands i need to run in notepad
[06:08] <echosystm> can someone check them with me in pm?
[06:08] <james296> I did
[06:08] <echosystm> just so i dont do anything stupid
[06:08] <Llama052> I tried the xymo thing.. it ruined the os I had to reinstall
[06:08] <echosystm> that would be great
[06:08] <Llama052> Can anyone help me out with Ubuntu on msn?
[06:09] <nickrud> james296, ok, now type    cd /etc     in the terminal
[06:09] <astro76> !pastebin | echosystm paste it here
[06:09] <ubotu> echosystm paste it here: 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)
[06:09] <Nutubuntu> conorkirkpatrick,   sorry 'bout that msg ... but I have no idea, I'm clueless about what you asked
[06:09] <RoundyT1> where can i find the theme ubuntu "studio" uses?
[06:09] <james296> alright
[06:09] <conorkirkpatrick> nutubuntu: okay, if anybody doesn't like it, I will stop :D
[06:09] <Llama052> one question.. how do I install tar.gz files????
[06:09] <RoundyT1> untar.
[06:09] <Llama052> How?
[06:10] <conorkirkpatrick> !tar
[06:10] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[06:10] <jwiles> tar zxvf foo.tar.gz
[06:10] <nickrud> james296, now type     sudo cp fstab fstab.before-nickrud
[06:10] <Llama052> Once you open it then what?
[06:10] <conorkirkpatrick> Llama052: there you go
[06:10] <RoundyT1> Llama052, you'll want to use archive manager OR do a command in the terminal untar filename.
[06:10] <nickrud> james296, making a safe copy there
[06:10] <akk> Can someone check something for me? I'm trying to aptitude install xprint, and it's telling me there's a conflict and x11-common is broken
[06:10] <mhz`> finally in ubuntu
[06:10] <Nutubuntu> Llama052,  man tar to learn a bit about it
[06:10] <akk> I want to see if it's just me before filing a bug.
[06:10] <RoundyT1> where can i find the theme ubuntu "studio" uses?
[06:10] <maximande2> arg!
[06:10] <Frogzoo_> what am I missing with nautilus? I find as a file manager it's pointless - what am I missing here?
[06:10] <james296> ok
[06:10] <echosystm> i just got an error on boot up
[06:10] <echosystm> "invalid pblk length [5] "
[06:10] <Llama052> I have some drivers... I untarred them and ran them.. it installed.. but the drivers havent worked.
[06:11] <maximande2> feisty install is refusing to resize NTFS
[06:11] <akk> (I'm hoping xprint might enable firefox to print in landscape mode, which it can't do as shipped)
[06:11] <Nutubuntu> Frogzoo_, I don't think there's much to miss ;)
[06:11] <nickrud> james, now type   gksudo gedit fstab
[06:11] <conorkirkpatrick> maximande2: I think Ubuntu can't write NTFS by default
[06:11] <passbe> can anyone help me with disappearing panel icons, azureus is the icon that disappears i believe its due to the icon being in .png format, i cant find a fix, any help would be appreciated ?
[06:11] <nickrud> james296, ^^  sorry james
[06:11] <Frogzoo_> Nutubuntu: ok, back to mc I guess
[06:11] <maximande2> conorkirkpatrick: the installer has a resize built in
[06:11] <Llama052> How do you get Macromedia Flash player btw?
[06:11] <james296> lol ok that worked
[06:11] <conorkirkpatrick> Ok
[06:11] <james296> and its ok
[06:11] <Frogzoo_> !flash | Llama052
[06:11] <ubotu> Llama052: 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
[06:11] <Nutubuntu> I installed 'vfu' Frogzoo_ and liked it ... kinda like the name too ;)
[06:11] <echosystm> anyone got any idea what this problem is? "invalid pblk length [5] "
[06:11] <astro76> maximande2, you sure you have enough free space? if so you might want to defragment it in windows
[06:11] <echosystm> on bootup
[06:12] <Frogzoo_> Nutubuntu: thx, I'll take a look
[06:12] <nickrud> james296, ok, now go to the line that starts with    /dev/hda1    , and put a   #   at the beginning
[06:12] <maximande2> astro76: she says that there is plenty of freespace
[06:12] <james296> I already did that before I rebooted
[06:12] <james296> its still there
[06:12] <astro76> maximande2, probably need to defrag then
[06:12] <Dashmi> Something weird happened to me... OO.O was "upgrading" and I lost writer.  Tried to manually reinstall: no dice. and now I can't even dl it from synaptic... any ideas?
[06:12] <Nutubuntu> Frogzoo_,  if you happen to have used Vern Buerg's 'List' utility back in MSDOS days, vfu is very familiar looking :)
[06:13] <james296> wait, its showing 2 hda1's for some reason
[06:13] <maximande2> astro76: she formatted and installed win xp within the last week
[06:13] <conorkirkpatrick> dasgmi: try removing the whole thing then reinstall
[06:13] <nickrud> james296, YESSS
[06:13] <damageDOne> Hi all, can someone tell me if it is possible to rip a .cue file rather than having to burn it and then rip it?
[06:13] <Llama052> How do I  Enable the Multiverse repository
[06:13] <nickrud> james296, yeah, the one almost at the end. It's on line 12 in the pastebin
[06:13] <maximande2> astro76: so fragmentation should be a non issue, since a new install should have allocated from the first blocks
[06:13] <cesar_> hello world
[06:13] <james296> want me to take the # sign off the one I already have there?
[06:14] <astro76> maximande2, then I would probably exit out of the install and run System->Administration->Gnome Partition Editor
[06:14] <conorkirkpatrick> Yay! Ubuntu is "creating user
[06:14] <conorkirkpatrick> "
[06:14] <nickrud> james296, if there's more than on on line 5, it's no big deal
[06:14] <maximande2> i've done at least 15 ubuntu installs and it's never choked here unless ntfs wasn't marked as clean
[06:14] <astro76> maximande2, see if you can resize in there
[06:14] <RoundyT1> i've done beryl before, but forget how to do iit....i have it and emerald installed but its not working...any ideas?
[06:14] <Llama052> Can someone help me in remote desktop? etc????
[06:14] <james296> ok
[06:14] <gunny01> Llama052: What do you want?
[06:14] <pppZero> i cant find smbmount -- is the some other way i'm supposed to mount my windows shares? or am i just missing a package?
[06:14] <maximande2> astro76: i'm on the live CD now, so i'll give it a try...
[06:14] <james296> ok saved
[06:14] <Llama052> I need some help with some drivers
[06:15] <james296> gonna reboot and find out now
[06:15] <james296> I'll be back
[06:15] <nickrud> james296, be quick
[06:15] <Llama052> and some general know how.
[06:15] <james296> yup
[06:15] <Littlegator> If the install process on the ubuntu live cd is stuck at the time screen, how do I force it to quit?

[06:15] <Llama052> I hate irc... i need to talk to someone on msn .

[06:15] <Llama052> Thanks
[06:16] <maximande2> pppZero: those may not be installed as kernal FS modules
[06:16] <sumigamer> guys is there a setting in beryl that can allow me to use diff. wallpapers for diff. workspaces??
[06:16] <Frogzoo_> damageDOne: what are you really trying to do?
[06:16] <maximande2> pppZero: gnome does it throung the vfs helper, so you'll need to install the kernel mods to actually use it
[06:16] <Llama052> Added you Conork
[06:17] <conorkirkpatrick> Llama052: it might take a min, I have a slow msn client
[06:17] <Llama052> sure np

[06:17] <Perdente> laptop question, I have a laptop with a touchpad and its really not sensitive at all, how would I change it?
[06:17] <pppZero> maximande2: i see that :) just got ye olde "bad superblock" error
[06:17] <conorkirkpatrick> Perdente: probably in system menu on the main ubuntu screen
[06:18] <james296> YES!!! it doesnt show the error anymore
[06:18] <nickrud> james296, great.
[06:18] <james296> one more question
[06:18] <james296> about Synaptic
[06:19] <nickrud> james296, quicky I hope, I've already missed one ride
[06:19] <james296> I HATE the system upgrade icon...
[06:19] <astro76> Perdente, install gsynaptics, you'll get a preferences->touchpad entry then
[06:19] <nickrud> james296, ah, synaptic. Never use it
[06:19] <Perdente> thanks!
[06:19] <james296> I already changed it in /usr/share/synaptic/glade, but it appears to not have changed...
[06:19] <astro76> Perdente, you also have to add "SHMConfig" "on" to your xorg.conf, see this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=975421
[06:19] <james296> if I cant use it then what can I use?
[06:19] <conorkirkpatrick> OMG Ubuntu %94 ^_^
[06:19] <Frogzoo_> pppZero: fix for that is fsck -b
[06:20] <Perdente> astro76, ok I'll read it
[06:20] <Llama052> conork still nothing :(
[06:20] <damageDOne> Frogzoo_:I have a cue file of a cd and I want to rip mp3s off it.
[06:20] <conorkirkpatrick> hmm
[06:20] <conorkirkpatrick> here
[06:20] <nickrud> james296, there's several options, but you should stick with synaptic for a while yet, and squint when you need the upgrade button ;)
[06:20] <conorkirkpatrick> Llama052: http://gabbly.com/Llama052 (it will give an error, but wait, a chat window will appear)
[06:20] <sumigamer> guys is there a setting in beryl that can allow me to use diff. wallpapers for diff. workspaces??
[06:20] <OpenBot> i already had it that way, sumigamer.
[06:20] <maximande2> damageDOne: google is your friend... mp3split used to be a program you could use
[06:20] <Llama052> k
[06:21] <james296> I just want it changed to the icon recommended on that orange-look website...
[06:21] <Llama052> neat
[06:21] <james296> why cant I change it?
[06:21] <james296> I want it changed
[06:21] <damageDOne> I tried google but found proprietary windows stuff
[06:21] <maximande2> *s/changes/changed
[06:21] <Frogzoo_> damageDOne: mdf2iso
[06:21] <damageDOne> maximande2: but I'll check that out. Is it in the repos
[06:22] <maximande2> damageDOne: i think it is long ago abandoned... i couldn't find it last time i found a PROPER rip.
[06:22] <astro76> damageDOne, try this http://www.google.com/linux
[06:22] <RoundyT1> !ati
[06:22] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:22] <james296> so how can I change it?
[06:22] <LogicalDash> I'm trying to use xkbcomp to make a usable keyboard layout out of this .xkb file I have. The command isn't giving any errors, it appears to exit successfully, but it doesn't actually generate any compiled file. Help, please?
[06:22] <maximande2> damageDOne: but try googling... you will find it
[06:22] <nickrud> james, you might find try /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/actions/ , there's some synaptic icons there
[06:23] <james296> I changed those as well
[06:23] <Kayef_> does unbuntu support a resolution of 1680x1050 on an external monitor?
[06:23] <james296> still the same thing
[06:23] <MrObvious> Grub takes forever to boot. It's stuck at the screen that says "Grub loading Stage 1.5" and takes 20 seconds maybe to finish. I'm dual booting with Winblows but when I installed Linux before it never was a problem. Does anyone have any ideas?
[06:23] <maximande2> uck, Gpartd couldn't resize the ntfs partition either...
[06:23] <Frogzoo_> MrObvious: 64bit?
[06:23] <MrObvious> Frogzoo_: 32
[06:23] <maximande2> told me top open details.... (non-existent)
[06:23] <nickrud> james, then not a clue, you might have to ask on the synaptic developers mail list, whatever it is
[06:23] <Frogzoo_> MrObvious: try boot option 'acpi=off'
[06:23] <MrObvious> Hmm. How do I do that?
[06:24] <n8of9> Does anyone here know how to swap audio channels in Edgy?
[06:24] <echosystm> god ubuntu is taking forever to boot
[06:24] <MrObvious> I've heard it suggested before but I can't remember where to go to do that. Can I edit /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[06:24] <failuree> hi
[06:24] <OpenBot> what's up, failuree
[06:24] <Frogzoo_> MrObvious: from the grub prompt, hit e & add that param at the end of the kernel line
[06:24] <failuree> please halp!!
[06:24] <failuree> I has a problem
[06:24] <echosystm> im getting nothing but acpi errors and "failed to set xfermode"
[06:25] <echosystm> can someone help me out with this?
[06:25] <echosystm> i already added irqpoll to my menu/lst
[06:25] <echosystm> didnt fix anything
[06:25] <echosystm> :(
[06:25] <MrObvious> Frogzoo_: So I just go to grub and type acpi=off?
[06:25] <MrObvious> After pushing e
[06:25] <mhz`> ok, ksirc is pissing me off
[06:25] <maximande2> Frogzoo_: if GRUB is taking forever to load stage 1.5, then acpi=off on the kernel line isn't going to help (kernel is after grub loads)
[06:25] <failuree> I am going trhough hell trying to run PPPOE
[06:25] <failuree> I get this error
[06:25] <failuree> CHAP FAILED
[06:25] <failuree> pluz halp!!
[06:26] <MrObvious> CHAP?
[06:26] <MrObvious> It means authentication error probably.
[06:26] <failuree> battling for two days now
[06:26] <MrObvious> CHAP is for authentication Fade
[06:26] <MrObvious> failuree:
[06:26] <nickrud> failuree, you've run pppoeconf ?
[06:26] <Frogzoo_> maximande2: true dat
[06:26] <failuree> nickrud, yeah a thousand times
[06:26] <Littlegator> How do I end the installer process on the Live CD? It's only at the timezone part, but it's not responding so I want to close it...
[06:26] <failuree> plog says  6731 unrecognized
[06:27] <conorkirkpatrick> Littlegator: ALT+f2
[06:27] <MrObvious> failuree: Then check your user/pass. It's probably wrong I'm guessing.
[06:27] <conorkirkpatrick> Littlegator: then type xterm, then type xkill and hit enter, then click on the window
[06:27] <MrObvious> nickrud: Any ideas why I can't get grub to work?
[06:27] <Littlegator> thanks
[06:27] <conorkirkpatrick> np
[06:28] <maximande2> beh... screw this, i'm downloading gentoo's latest liveCD. At least ntfsresize works.
[06:28] <yrlnry_> I have an old slackware system I'd like to turn into an ubuntu system.  If I just install FF from the install CD, will it wipe out my /home filesystem?
[06:28] <nickrud> MrObvious, I guess I've been incredibly lucky with my hardware, I've never had to do anything but update-grub and grub-install
[06:29] <Nutubuntu> yrlnry_,  is /home on its own partition?
[06:29] <maximande2> yrlnry_: if it's on a different partition, just choose manual disk setup in the install and pick it as the /home mount
[06:29] <bullgard4> Calling the GNOME main menu item System > Preferences > 'Hardware Information' will open the window 'HAL Device Manager'. What is the equivalent command line command for this?
[06:29] <mhz`> i think i broke the music player :/ only showing 736 songs when i got 1400+
[06:29] <astro76> bullgard4, hal-device-manager
[06:30] <mhz`> wait, there we go..still trucking along
[06:30] <nickrud> bullgard4, I usually use lshw and dmidecode for hardware info
[06:30] <yrlnry_> /home is on a separate partition.
[06:30] <yrlnry_> Is the rule here that the install disk will only destroy stuff that was on the root partition?
[06:30] <bullgard4> astro76: Yes indeed. Thank you very much.
[06:31] <conorkirkpatrick> How long should the copying installation logs step take on the ubuntu install?
[06:31] <astro76> yrlnry_, as maximande2 said then, just don't check format partition for /home
[06:31] <yrlnry_> Yes.  Now I am asking a slightly more general question.
[06:31] <nickrud> yrlnry_, formatting of partitions defaults off, always
[06:31] <Flannel> yrlnry_: You can make it "use but not format" certain partitions.  /home is a good one to use but not format, and keep your old stuffs
[06:31] <yrlnry_> Can I tell it not to format any of the partitions, including the root partition?
[06:32] <Flannel> yrlnry_: what's the point of reinstalling then?
[06:32] <conorkirkpatrick> How long should the copying installation logs step take on the ubuntu install?
[06:32] <yrlnry_> To copy the ubuntu stuff into the root partition without formatting it.
[06:32] <astro76> yrlnry_, the installer will tell you you have to format /, IIRC
[06:32] <yrlnry_> Okay, thanks.
[06:33] <pdspatrick> hallo
[06:33] <Nutubuntu> yrlnry_,  I *think* the installer will warn you about installing into existing stuff on / ... memory's not perfect though
[06:33] <conorkirkpatrick> How long should the copying installation logs step take on the ubuntu install?
[06:33] <yrlnry_> I guess I'll just make a careful backup of the root partition before I proceed.
[06:33] <yrlnry_> Thanks again.
[06:34] <bullgard4> nickrud: Basically I know that the alternatives lshw and sudo dmidecode exist. But why do you prefoer them for hal-device-manager?
[06:34] <Nutubuntu> backups are good :) yrlnry_
[06:34] <sa3iid> #ubuntu-fr
[06:35] <FruitLoop> Ok, I've finished using this computer to set up a network install through netboot. How do I reverse all the changes I made in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot and return the DHCP control to my router? (I know how to enable DHCP on the router.. just want to know how to turn it off on this computer)????
[06:35] <yrlnry_> Nutubuntu: laziness is good too :)
[06:35] <nickrud> bullgard4, inertia, mostly I do most of my stuff on the terminal
[06:35] <nickrud> erm, period after mostly ;)
[06:35] <LogicalDash> How do I refer to an X display from the command line? I'm trying to save a keyboard map that I modified with xmodmap.
[06:36] <bullgard4> nickrud: Ok, thank you very much.
[06:36] <sean-> Hi, anyone know why sudo would just stop working.  I was SSHed into my system and it was working fine then all of a sudden it wasn't working anymore.  Rebooted and it is still not working.  No errors just acts like it does nothing.
[06:36] <nickrud> LogicalDash, like DISPLAY=0:0 ?
[06:36] <LogicalDash> nickrud, I'll try it
[06:37] <FruitLoop> How do I return this computer to normal so it is not offering DHCP service to other computers on my network?
[06:37] <n8of9> Does anyone here know how to swap audio channels in Edgy?
[06:37] <nickrud> sean-, take a look at /var/log/authlog , sudo logs there
[06:38] <pppZero> FruitLoop: from memory its "sudo /etc/init.d/dhcpcd stop" ... that wont keep it stopped though a reboot though
[06:39] <astro76> sean-, take a look...heh, lots of attempted logins in my authlog
[06:39] <pppZero> FruitLoop: System -> Administration -> Services :)
[06:39] <sean-> nickrud: I tried...but permission denied...and I can't sudo to look at it
[06:39] <LogicalDash> nickrud, how do I find out what my current display is?
[06:39] <Biledog2> Trying to install Ubuntu for the 1st time from the LIveCD and it seems to choke on the parition part.
[06:40] <Biledog2> gparted stall too.
[06:40] <infamouskid> hi can someone help me?
[06:40] <n8of9> infamouskid: ask your question
[06:40] <nickrud> sean-, type groups in a terminal; as the first system user you should be in the adm and admin groups (adm should let you see authlog, admin do sudo)
[06:40] <conorkirkpatrick> anyone: My ubuntu install locked up on "copying installation logs"
[06:41] <astro76> sean-, can you get into system->admin->users and groups ?
[06:41] <infamouskid> ok well when i run beryl manager or compiz. i dont see the top bar of each windows where i can press minimize maximaize or close?
[06:41] <Gun_Smoke> Any suggestion on wiping a HD.  Found DBAN, anyone use it?  Better option out there?
[06:41] <nickrud> LogicalDash, in a terminal, type echo $DISPLAY
[06:41] <Nutubuntu> Gun_Smoke,  "better" depends heavily on what you want to do. DBAN works.
[06:41] <n8of9> Gun_Smoke: DBAN works wonders. I'm not sure about using it with SATA, but it should work.
[06:41] <LogicalDash> nickrud, thanks
[06:42] <n8of9> Gun_Smoke: be warned; depending on the type of wipe you select, you could be looking at a long time before it's finished.
[06:42] <pppZero> infamouskid: using an nvidia card?
[06:42] <infamouskid> yes
[06:42] <Nutubuntu> Gun_Smoke,  ... and n8of9 's comment is why "better" is such a nebulous word
[06:42] <FruitLoop> pppZero: ok, in services do I turn off xinetd?
[06:42] <n8of9> Gun_Smoke: I find 7 wipes (DoD default) works fine.
[06:42] <infamouskid> pppzero : yes nvida 6800
[06:42] <Fructose> How do I play DVDs in Ubuntu?
[06:43] <sean-> ok so lets say I did something stupid and removed my main account from those groups...how would I add myself back.
[06:43] <nickrud> hah!
[06:43] <conorkirkpatrick> How long should the copying installation logs step take on the ubuntu install?
[06:43] <astro76> !medibuntu | Fructose install libdvdcss2 from here
[06:43] <ubotu> Fructose install libdvdcss2 from here: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[06:43] <Gun_Smoke> I'm more less researching the possibilities of the most secure way to wipe a drive.
[06:43] <Flannel> sean-: reboot into the Recovery console, then `usermod -G adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin -a username`
[06:43] <sean-> I did a usermod earlier today and must have (rather than add a nother group) replaced my secondary groups
[06:44] <Nutubuntu> Gun_Smoke,  "secure" is also relative. If you want no one, ever, no matter who or how, to read it, melting it down would be okay :)
[06:44] <sean-> Thanks everyone, will do
[06:44] <Flannel> sean-: you forgot the -a, -G groups -a (for append)
[06:44] <LogicalDash> nickrud, its done, thanks
[06:44] <Gun_Smoke> Nutubuntu: Of course.
[06:44] <nickrud> LogicalDash, yw
[06:44] <Nutubuntu> OTOH, Gun_Smoke, if all you want is to make sure that the person who buys your used computer doesn't also inherit your bank account access codes, DBAN is more than sufficient
[06:45] <pppZero> infamouskid: check your PMs :)
[06:45] <Biledog2> may I ask a question?
[06:45] <Gun_Smoke> Nutubuntu: That's more of what I am after.
[06:45] <FruitLoop> What about stuff I installed like dnsmasq, atftp, and atftpd ??? can I just uninstall them with apt or synaptic?
[06:45] <conorkirkpatrick> [ 1029]  feedback addressing from Gekkko
[06:45] <infamouskid> i dont have any?
[06:45] <Gun_Smoke> So 7 pass is the norm?
[06:45] <infamouskid> shoot
[06:45] <pppZero> i hate xchat >< gimme a second
[06:45] <nickrud> !ask | Biledog2
[06:45] <ubotu> Biledog2: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:45] <infamouskid> pppzero : :lemme join freenode brbr
[06:46] <n8of9> Gun_Smoke: I believe "autonuke" with DBAN does 3 passes; which will probably do more damage than the next guy can recover from.  I feel better about 7, myself.
[06:47] <Biledog2> Tying to install Ubuntu via the liveCD and it seems to stall out  on the disk setup part
[06:47] <Biledog2> any iders?
[06:47] <FruitLoop> mmm..... tastes like chicken.
[06:47] <Biledog2> info: gparted won't work either
[06:47] <Fructose> OK, I installed libdvdcss2, but Totem still doesn't allow me to play DVDs. What do I do next?
[06:48] <Gun_Smoke> n8of9: Aside from DBAN and a massive google search, any other options come to mind you have used?
[06:48] <Perdente> hey thanks for the advice, got my touchpad really sensative just the way I like it!
[06:48] <ubuntuEdgy> my ssh wont work, i get the same error as this guy http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:zjuG6rtHt6EJ:https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2006-January/065895.html+ssh+Gtk-WARNING+**:+cannot+open+display:&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=20&gl=uk
[06:48] <shadeofgrey> hey has anybody here had success running ubuntu on the new macbookpro's with the nvidia graphics cards?
[06:48] <conorkirkpatrick> [ 1029]  feedback addressing from Gekkko
[06:48] <conorkirkpatrick> um
[06:48] <conorkirkpatrick> My ubuntu install locked up
[06:48] <FruitLoop> serendipity?
[06:49] <Nutubuntu> Badness comes in waves
[06:49] <infamouskid> can someone help?
[06:49] <FruitLoop> yes, they can!
[06:49] <n8of9> Gun_Smoke: monster electromagnet. blowtorch.  DBAN's the best (easiest, most efficient) software solution I've found.
[06:49] <FruitLoop> but they just went out for a smoke.
[06:49] <pppZero_> infamouskid: in xorg.conf: under Section "Screen" add a line: Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
[06:50] <n8of9> Gun_Smoke: (big electromagnet will destroy the drive)
[06:50] <infamouskid> pppzero : the command to edit that is gksudo gedit <filename> ????
[06:50] <Gun_Smoke> n8of9: Thanks.  Can I borrow yours? lol
[06:50] <astro76> Fructose, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:50] <flima> nooo
[06:50] <mhz`> yes
[06:50] <flima> firefox keeps crashing
[06:50] <sumigamer> guys when i configure akamaru, i get this error....configure: error: Package requirements ("glib-2.0 >= 2.8.0 gobject-2.0") were not met: No package 'glib-2.0' found No package 'gobject-2.0' found
[06:50] <mhz`> could do gedit too i think
[06:50] <Nutubuntu> Gun_Smoke, if you're not defending against an attempt by a well-financed and technically savvy agency to read your discarded data ... DBAN's plenty. Maybe even if you are; who knows? Yeah them, but they're not saying ;)
[06:51] <mhz`> sumigamer, install the glib & gobject packages
[06:51] <pppZero> infamouskid: sorry :)  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:51] <mhz`> then install akamaru
[06:51] <n8of9> Gun_Smoke: heh... sadly, I no longer have access to the local university's "gausser".
[06:51] <ubuntuEdgy> ?
[06:51] <kill-9> hey
[06:51] <infamouskid> k
[06:51] <kill-9> i have a question anyone in here have try ubuntu with ppc?
[06:51] <kill-9> that can give me some hints
[06:51] <mhz`> sumigamer, go to system > administration > synaptics
[06:51] <infamouskid> pppzero : ok i have several xorg files???
[06:51] <n8of9> flima: is it crashing on any particular site? does it happen when you try to load Flash content?
[06:52] <mhz`> sumigamer, once there...do a search for glib and check to install it and do the same for gobject
[06:52] <mhz`> then hit apply
[06:52] <conorkirkpatrick> Anyone: My ubuntu install locked up con copying installation logs.
[06:52] <sean-> woohoo I can sudo again!  Thanks!
[06:52] <conorkirkpatrick> ?
[06:52] <sumigamer> mhz', how do i install these packages.......when i apt-get them it says that the packages dont exist.
[06:52] <mhz`> sumigamer, read up
[06:52] <pppZero> infamouskid: possibly backups created with nvidia-settings or something, just go with xorg.conf :)
[06:52] <Gun_Smoke> Nutubuntu: ha.. Isn't everyone hiding something now a days?
[06:52] <mhz`> conor, restart the install but before you begin it...test the cd first
[06:52] <kill-9> i have a question anyone in here have try ubuntu with ppc?
[06:52] <mhz`> you might wanna be safe and burn another copy of it
[06:52] <Tanman> um i was wondering if i can support with setting vsftpd?

[06:53] <lipocsi> hey uguys
[06:53] <Tanman> and upload issues
[06:53] <infamouskid> pppzero : there is already a option line.. do i just append to the line?
[06:53] <pppZero> infamouskid: no, make a new line, you can have as many option lines as you need
[06:54] <infamouskid> pppzero : thanks adding now
[06:54] <lipocsi> hey wats that package for desktop widgets for gnome?
[06:54] <Fructose> I installed libdvdcss2 and have since tried to play a DVD with Totem, mplayer, and vlc, none of which work. Can anyone help me?
[06:54] <lipocsi> can anyone tell me i want random stuff on my desktop lol
[06:54] <Tanman> i seem to be getting 550 when a local user tries to upload to their home directory
[06:55] <astro76> Fructose, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:55] <Nutubuntu> Well, sure, Gun_Smoke ... but in seriousness, security is *all* about balancing your risks against your defenses. If you're just defending against some random person who -- as far as you know -- is just trying to get a working computer from you, that's one thing. If you're being targeted by a serious and dedicated opponent, that's another. How much time, money, and effort you spend on security ought to be proportional to which it is ...
[06:55] <Tanman> i have allowed write enabled
[06:55] <mhz`> Tanman, 550 is permission denied
[06:55] <frank__> trying to get skype to load on dual core AMD and get message wrong architecture i386 any clues

[06:56] <astro76> kill-9, https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[06:56] <Tanman> @mhz: yes
[06:56] <neonimr> hi
[06:56] <Tanman> @i habve checked the permission
[06:56] <Fructose> When I try to open the disc, it says "Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it.Please install the necessary plugins and restart Totem to be able to play this media."
[06:56] <pppZero> infamouskid: naughty :) put it all in pastebin :)
[06:56] <sumigamer> mhz', the packages glib and gobject arent there in synaptic....
[06:56] <neonimr> i have the ubuntu iso file on my windows root direcotory and wanna install it from there ,instead of burning it on a cd
[06:57] <shiester_miester> neonimr, uhh...no
[06:57] <Tanman> @mhz: its 770 on the home directory of that user
[06:57] <infamouskid> pppzero : zorry zero its my second day using linux.. im new to irc as well
[06:57] <Nutubuntu> mebbe that's why he's so durned infamous ;)
[06:57] <Gun_Smoke> Nutubuntu:  That is true.
[06:57] <pppZero> infamouskid: its ok, i've done it too :D
[06:57] <Fructose> If I open up a .vob file by itself, I get a couple moments of completely screwed up video and then it fails.
[06:57] <mhz`> sumigamer, search libglib
[06:57] <infamouskid> pppzero : so is the section correct now?
[06:57] <shiester_miester> neonimr, you have to boot it from a cd :P ive never heard of a BIOS that can read iso files on a partition and mount them as bootable devices
[06:57] <astro76> Fructose, what happens in VLC?
[06:58] <heheh> et
[06:58] <mhz`> if its the user's dir, i believe automatically they should be able to write
[06:58] <pppZero> looked good to me :)
[06:58] <n8of9> shiester_miester: that would be... awesome :)
[06:58] <infamouskid> pppzero :  is the xorg file similiar to windows .ini file type?
[06:58] <Fructose> astro76: It just fails immediately and exits
[06:58] <mhz`> Tanman, are they unable to connect or unable to upload?
[06:58] <sumigamer> mhz", lots of glibs showed up.......
[06:58] <shiester_miester> n8of9, its entirely possible, the only reason why it doesnt exist is because it would be pretty redundant
[06:58] <mhz`> libglib2.0-0
[06:58] <Tanman> mhz: unable to upload
[06:58] <Tanman> mhz: thy can download fine
[06:58] <Fructose> astro76: When I run from console, I get; libdvdnav: Suspected RCE Region Protection!!! libdvdnav: ifoRead_TITLE_VOBU_ADMAP vtsi failed - CRASHING
[06:58] <n8of9> shiester_miester: ooh! you could have an iso within an iso on a physical drive :)
[06:59] <Nutubuntu> Gun_Smoke,  put it this way. If DBAN's possible shortcomings are your biggest worry, you must be pretty secure :)
[06:59] <shiester_miester> you know what would be truly awesome...if i could get M$ visual web developer to run in linux.  i cant even get it working in windows...
[06:59] <pppZero> infamouskid: kind of, but not really. :\
[06:59] <shiester_miester> neonimr, are you there?
[06:59] <astro76> Fructose, hmm that's the new type of protection
[06:59] <n8of9> infamouskid: same concept, different syntax and layout
[06:59] <mhz`> Tanman, what ftpd are you using again?
[06:59] <Tanman> @mhz vsftpd
[06:59] <infamouskid> pppzero : ok so the line added was correct ?? do i just alt ctrl backspace and login as norm?
[06:59] <X3rus> I have an application that works on windows systems. What I want to do is to share that same folder but on Ubuntu using samba. I share the folder and it open the aplication but only one person can view it at the time, cause it open the databases in exclusive mode. Is there a way to have a windows application on a server and that the client pcs can access it?
[07:00] <flima> n8of9, any site I guess
[07:00] <pppZero> infamouskid: log out and log in, same end result, nice on X :)
[07:00] <frank__> hi trying to get skype to load on dual core AMD running 7.04 and get message wrong architecture i386 any clues
[07:00] <infamouskid> pppzero : thanks brb trying it out now
[07:00] <mhz`> Tanman, did you enable write in your conf?
[07:00] <shiester_miester> frank_, are you running 64bit OS?
[07:00] <shiester_miester> X3rus, yes there is
[07:00] <n8of9> X3rus: That depends almost entirely on the application. What are you running?
[07:01] <neonimr> sorry
[07:01] <neonimr> i am here
[07:01] <astro76> Fructose, if you have an older dvd to try that will verify it, but that's the problem
[07:01] <n8of9> flima: what version of FF are you running?
[07:01] <shiester_miester> no worries, neonimr
[07:01] <Gun_Smoke> Nutubuntu: /or anyone; Is it worth the time to wipe a drive before doing a clean install of any flavor of Linux coming from another OS?
[07:01] <frank__> think I am how do I check
[07:01] <X3rus> shiester_miester: Is an application written in Borland C++ and with EDBISAM databases, how can I do it?
[07:01] <shiester_miester> neonimr, what you are wanting to do is physically possible but its never been implemented
[07:01] <flima> n8of9, 2.0.0.4
[07:01] <shiester_miester> X3rus, thats extremely ambiguous information
[07:01] <dvm> how can i run the glade-3 after adding all the widgets?
[07:01] <Tanman> @mhz: i have write_enable=YES
 why i thought grub can boot from an iso on the hdd
[07:02] <n8of9> Gun_Smoke: If you're just rebuilding the machine for yourself, wiping is not really necessary (unless you're really paranoid... then it wouldn't hurt anything)
[07:02] <Nutubuntu> Gun_Smoke,  honestly, no one knows the answer to that one except you
[07:02] <Tanman> @mhz i that what you mean?
[07:02] <shiester_miester> neonimr, and where are you going to get grub from
[07:02] <tree> hello, can anyone help me get my kde panel back it disappeared and even after a restart it is gone, how do I get it back
[07:02] <shiester_miester> neonimr, grub is on the ISO :P
i have grub for dos
[07:02] <X3rus> shiester_miester: what information do you need?
 no
[07:02] <n8of9> Gun_Smoke: as far as functionality of the system after rebuild, there should be no difference between formatting and wiping the drive.
[07:02] <Fructose> astro76: Damn it. Well, then can you at least tell me where my remote control is? :-(
[07:02] <mhz`> Tanman, and 777 permissions set on the dir?
[07:02] <LukeEkblad> Hi
[07:02] <shiester_miester> neonimr, oh ok
[07:02] <shiester_miester> neonimr, well then, go for it.  you seem far more knowledgeable than I am
[07:02] <shiester_miester> neonimr, you should have no problems
[07:02] <LukeEkblad> Anyone know how to install the latest version of the gimp. Version 4 i think
[07:02] <Tanman> @mhz not 777
 i have it installed on the windows partition
[07:02] <Tanman> but i will do that
[07:03] <shiester_miester> neonimr, and?
[07:03] <Tanman> @mhz i have 770
[07:03] <shiester_miester> X3rus, i have no idea how to do it, have you tried running it in a server on a virtual machine?
[07:03] <neozen> ....isn't technology grand?
[07:03] <mhz`> try 777
 frank_, are you running 64bit OS?  I think so How do I check
 but i dont recall how can grub load an iso
[07:03] <n8of9> flima:  do you have any extensions/plugins installed? do you have Flash/Shockwave installed?
[07:03] <shiester_miester> frank_, did you install the 64bit version of ubuntu? :P
[07:03] <neonimr> is it like bootfrom=/blah/
[07:03] <shiester_miester> neonimr, i dont know either
[07:03] <neasteflorin> i did
[07:03] <Gun_Smoke> n8of9: I didn't think so.
[07:03] <flima> n8of9, flash installed
[07:03] <shiester_miester> neonimr, i thought grub just grabbed stuff from the boot partition :/
[07:03] <neasteflorin> skype doesn't work on AM64
[07:04] <neasteflorin> :(
[07:04] <X3rus> I don't want it on a virtual machine, the application will be on the server but the clients pc will access it
[07:04] <kill-9> i have a question anyone in here have try ubuntu with ppc?
[07:04] <shiester_miester> neasteflorin, ah, thanks for letting me know
[07:04] <flima> i am thinking about switching back to IE7 :D
[07:04] <mhz`> ew
[07:04] <Tanman> @mhz still no go. i'll restart the server
[07:04] <shiester_miester> yet another reason why not to use 64bit
[07:04] <mhz`> stick to firefox
[07:04] <n8of9> flima: I had a problem with FF crashing when trying to load a page with flash content; there's a very easy fix.  Give me a moment to find the URL.
[07:04] <tree> any takers on the "how to restore my panel" in kde ??? its vanished
[07:04] <astro76> Fructose, you have to install and run regionset to set your drive to your region: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-314380.html
[07:04] <dvm> how can i run the glade-3 after adding all the widgets?
[07:04] <neasteflorin> Ie& sucks man
[07:04] <Tanman> ftp server
[07:04] <Fructose> astro76: It's already set to region 1
[07:04] <neasteflorin> get firefox or flock
[07:04] <shiester_miester> yes, IE is pretty much the worst of the modern GUI-based browsers
[07:04] <mhz`> Tanman, once you make a change to the conf, it's probably a good idea to restart it
[07:04] <mhz`> :/
[07:04] <Nutubuntu> flima let me guess - firefox 2.0.4 and ... maybe ... an A64X2
[07:05] <infamouskid> WOO HOO
[07:05] <infamouskid> im back in business
[07:05] <Optimus55> ?
[07:05] <neasteflorin> i starts very fast on a vista machine though
[07:05] <infamouskid> it worked
[07:05] <flima> Nutubuntu, yes
[07:05] <neasteflorin> because of the precaching stuff
[07:05] <shiester_miester> frank_, i would highly recommend that you not use 64bit architecture any time this year :P
[07:05] <infamouskid> pppzero : u there?
[07:05] <n8of9> flima: http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2006/10/ubuntu-firefox-flash-crash-this-fix.html
[07:05] <Tanman> @mhz the ubuntu server or just the ftp server?
[07:05] <shiester_miester> neasteflorin, yeah and it also chews up all your ram
[07:05] <mhz`> ftp
[07:05] <shiester_miester> neasteflorin, prechaching is a 2-edged sword :P
[07:05] <neasteflorin> no, firefox chews your ram
[07:05] <shiester_miester> sif
[07:05] <neasteflorin> it takes 60-90 megs
[07:06] <klobster> I thought chupacabre chewed my ram...
[07:06] <neasteflorin> my firefox
[07:06] <Optimus55> neasteflorin: yes it does :(
[07:06] <shiester_miester> klobster, chupacabra chews up sheep
[07:06] <dvm> how can i run the glade-3 after adding all the widgets?
 what hdtv tuner can we use with amd dual 64 if any
[07:06] <shiester_miester> frank_, absolutely no idea
[07:06] <neasteflorin> anyone want an invite to Pownce
[07:06] <neasteflorin> ?
[07:06] <Tanman> @mhz still gives me the error. ...
[07:06] <infamouskid> neasterflorin : is firefox bad??
[07:06] <shiester_miester> frank_, as i said, i would highly recommend you use 32bit ubuntu
[07:06] <klobster> frank: ask in #mythtv
[07:06] <neasteflorin> the memory leakage
[07:06] <neasteflorin> i hate
[07:07] <infamouskid> neasterflorin : anything you recommend?
[07:07] <neasteflorin> firefox is my favourite
[07:07] <neasteflorin> then flock
[07:07] <shiester_miester> neasteflorin, firefox doesnt have memory leaks, it just uses more
[07:07] <flima> n8of9, thx
[07:07] <neasteflorin> then safari
[07:07] <astro76> Fructose, are you positive? you can check it with regionset...
[07:07] <n8of9> it's not a memory "leak", per se. it just gobbles ram
[07:07] <n8of9> flima: did it work?
[07:07] <dvm> how can i run the glade-3 after adding all the widgets?
[07:07] <infamouskid> pppzero : thank you so much
[07:07] <frank__> thanks
[07:07] <shiester_miester> neasteflorin, learn what memory leaks are before you go accusing apps of having them ;)
[07:07] <klobster> wish I had a better answer
[07:07] <grazed> if I installed ubuntu on my notebook, how do i avoid it defaulting to the vga output instead of the notebook's monitor? booting from cd works because i can set it that way, but when booted from hd, i get a blank screen.
[07:08] <Optimus55> bad firefox, bad bad firefox! put that ram down! :)
[07:08] <flima> n8of9, i am too lazy to try anything now.. i will though tomorrow :|
[07:08] <n8of9> flima: ok. good luck :)
[07:08] <infamouskid> so is tehre a browser that is very basic and light?
[07:08] <neasteflorin> shiester be nice
[07:08] <Optimus55> i still use it as my no1 tho. much better than ie, meh
[07:08] <shiester_miester> neasteflorin, i wasnt being mean, just giving advice. im sorry if i caused you offense
[07:08] <infamouskid> i was lookin at opera
[07:08] <n8of9> infamouskid: 5 years ago, i would've answered "firefox" :P
[07:08] <shiester_miester> firefox has extremely high standards support, though, which in my opinion far outweighs any memory problems.  plus all the add-ons are absolutely fantastic
[07:09] <shiester_miester> especially if you are a web developer, the firebug and fireftp plugins kick ass
[07:09] <varka> infamouskid: links2, lynx
[07:09] <shiester_miester> heh, lynx
[07:09] <infamouskid> thanks guys
[07:09] <shiester_miester> lynx is like the ms-dos of web browsers
[07:09] <infamouskid> you guys have a link to the deb?
[07:09] <shiester_miester> well, it works...but it leaves you wanting more :P
[07:09] <n8of9> lynx is great if you don't have access to a GUI terminal
[07:09] <shiester_miester> although it uses like 2kb of ram :P
[07:10] <shiester_miester> and starts up faster than the terminal that it runs in, probably
[07:10] <neasteflorin> it's about programming techniques, and i do code C++, just so you now, they could have made it occupy less memory if they dumped unncessary stuff and reload them
[07:10] <varka> infamouskid: its in the standartrepositorys
[07:10] <neasteflorin> but that would have used cpu cycles
[07:10] <BlendArt> hello
[07:10] <infamouskid> varka : thanks ...
[07:10] <neasteflorin> so it's a compromise
[07:10] <shiester_miester> neasteflorin, well, its open source.  if you are a programmer, go and fix it ;)
[07:10] <infamouskid> hey u guys wanna know somethig funny??
[07:10] <BlendArt> anyone know how to use gnome-gpg?
[07:10] <infamouskid> i didnt know what repositories was until today. hehehe
[07:10] <mhz`> Tanman, only suggestion i got is to look in your logs
[07:10] <neasteflorin> i'm in vacation now, plus i can always use IE.... :)
[07:10] <Optimus55> lol @ shiester_miester
[07:10] <shiester_miester> neasteflorin, i code c++ too, but i would have a look at the code first before saying that its bad.  firefox does a LOT more than IE ever will, so obviously it uses more space
[07:10] <mhz`> i'm not sure what's going on
[07:10] <Nutubuntu> infamouskid,  just pronounce them properly when you ask for them ;)
[07:11] <Tanman> @ah ...yeah...is that in /var/logs/vsftpd
[07:11] <infamouskid> ehehhehehe
[07:11] <shiester_miester> besides, 60mb of ram is nothing these days
[07:11] <sidu> Can anyone help me with gedit: my gedit open file in utf8 by default - but one of my file, i guess is default english char ... (i do not know) , and gedit displayed as birdie language :( - help please
[07:11] <shiester_miester> birdie language?
[07:11] <Optimus55> firefox is good bcus A) free, B) works, C) solid, D)plugins, E) portable ffox is nice :)
[07:11] <shiester_miester> :/
[07:12] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, you forgot: standards support
[07:12] <sidu> strange str
[07:12] <Optimus55> true
[07:12] <infamouskid> did they discontinue mozilla?
[07:12] <mhz`> Tanman, i believe so
[07:12] <Nutubuntu> the part about "works" is open to interpretation ... depending on how you define "crash" I suppose ;)
[07:12] <shiester_miester> firefox supports a significant amount of the w3c stuff
[07:12] <metbsd> but firefox is slow to start
[07:12] <shiester_miester> lol Nutubuntu , good point
[07:12] <shiester_miester> but then thats the same with every software, so i guess nothing truly "works"
[07:12] <Nutubuntu> lol true that, shiester_miester
[07:12] <metbsd> and some webpage don't work well in firefox, must use internet explorer
[07:13] <conorkirkpatrick> Anyone?
[07:13] <Optimus55> metbsd: thats true. but id rather a little slow to start than browse with ie then have everything slow down with popups and malware later...
[07:13] <PurpZeY> Does Gnome lock out my keyboard after a certain number of consecutive keystrokes in rapid succession from the same key or set of keys?

[07:13] <shiester_miester> hi, conorkirkpatrick
[07:13] <conorkirkpatrick> Ok
[07:13] <infamouskid> sumigamer : yeah its called emerald
[07:13] <shiester_miester> sumigamer, yes
[07:13] <neasteflorin> OMG, Apple bought CUPS
[07:13] <Nutubuntu> shiester_miester,  the number of unknown bugs, it can be proved, is infinite
[07:13] <sidu> my dear - so many ppl talking
[07:13] <metbsd> good!
[07:13] <shiester_miester> infamouskid, emerald is for window decorations, not desktops
[07:13] <neasteflorin> http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2158170,00.asp
[07:13] <sumigamer> well, what is it??
[07:13] <shiester_miester> sidu, welcome to IRC :P
[07:13] <metbsd> we finally have decent support for cups
[07:13] <Tanman> @mhz its stange. because it only lists just the logins
[07:13] <PurpZeY> shiester_miester: I am experiencing a bizarre problem that I can only associate with software not supporting linux...
[07:14] <infamouskid> shiester :they have a desktop decorator too??
[07:14] <shiester_miester> sumigamer, its called "multiple viewport support" and i dont think gnome does it
[07:14] <neonimr> it looks like grub can map disk images (.img) but i was wondering what about iso
[07:14] <Tanman> @mhz, i'll keep hunting....thanks for the help :)

[07:18] <shadeofgrey> bewcause installing on macbookpro's with ATI grapghics chip;s has proven impossible
[07:18] <shiester_miester> lmao
[07:18] <Hirvinen> Nutubuntu: I'd recommend having >= 10 gigs or so for all non-home. I thought some 6.6 gigs(what was left after swap and home) would have been enough, but when it came time to dist-upgrade, came the complaints of not having sufficient space(Of course solvable with temporarily uninstalling some rarely used stuff, but a nuisance none the less).
[07:18] <failuree> shadeofgrey, get a Nvidia one
[07:19] <shadeofgrey> okay next question
[07:19] <shiester_miester> shadeofgrey, ATI are well known for their crappy drivers (although the NVIDIA ones arent exactly wonderful...)
[07:19] <neasteflorin> i have issues with my X200M ATI graphics card... it won't do compositioning nor desktop effects using fglrx driver... help
[07:19] <astro76> Hirvinen, Nutubuntu it would be enough if not for /var and /tmp
[07:19] <shiester_miester> neasteflorin, drivers installed?
[07:19] <Nutubuntu> Hirvinen,  I agree ... I think maybe conorkirkpatrick is having a problem related to a partition sized too small. I myself am okay :)
[07:19] <shadeofgrey> shiester_miesterthe nvisia drivers are far superior
[07:19] <tree> okay so i went to ksysguard and killed kicker...since it said it was already running. when i run kicker again after it stays for a second or 3 and dissapears, any suggestions as to why kicker keeps crashing or how to stop

[07:23] <shadeofgrey> shiester_miester  -- no!  i want to definitively substantiate that installation of ubuntu on macbookpro's with nvidia graphics cards are suitable for ubuntu installs because any mac with ATI hardware is basically fucked.

[07:25] <vip3rousmango> oh snap.. brb
[07:25] <Llama052> lol
[07:25] <neasteflorin> it's nero for linux
[07:25] <Llama052> It will prolly shutdown
[07:25] <shiester_miester> nero for linux?
[07:25] <shiester_miester> such a thing exists?
[07:25] <shiester_miester> you lie!
[07:25] <neasteflorin> yes
[07:25] <vip3rousmango> where??
[07:25] <shiester_miester> noooooo
[07:25] <neasteflorin> go and search nero for linux
[07:25] <Nutubuntu> why would we need it?
[07:25] <neasteflorin> in google
[07:25] <Llama052> In the Konsole I get "shutdown: need to be root"
[07:25] <grazed> does anyone know if that is a common issue?
[07:25] <shiester_miester> sorry everyone, i gotta go for a sec...brb
[07:25] <Llama052> Weird?
[07:26] <Llama052> I get "shutdown : need to be root"
[07:26] <neasteflorin> someone help please?
[07:26] <varka> shiester_miester: its just that i posted a link of a detailed forumthread about installation issues for macbook pro two times but he didnt pay attention and went on beggin for answers ;)
[07:26] <n8of9> grazed: you might want to verify which display is configured in your BIOS... Other than that, I'm not sure.
[07:26] <neasteflorin> what am i gonna do with this ati crap
[07:26] <neasteflorin> i just bought it  i can't stick it in my ass
[07:26] <Llama052> Same here neasteflorin
[07:26] <Optimus55> quick question: how much space does ubuntu need to install
[07:26] <Optimus55> ?
[07:26] <grazed> yeah, it is quite odd. i see the loading bar. then poof.
[07:26] <Nutubuntu> *cough*
[07:26] <vip3rousmango> There is a nero for linux!! http://www.nero.com/eng/NeroLINUX.html :: but it's $25 for the serial number thats stupid.. torrent time :D
[07:27] <grazed> i can boot live from the cd though
[07:27] <neasteflorin> 2-3 gigs
[07:27] <Nutubuntu> he who? varka ?
[07:27] <neasteflorin> i guess
[07:27] <Llama052> Who told me to do shutdown 0 in console?
[07:27] <Madpilot> vip3rousmango, why bother with nero at all? There's lots of good burning apps in Linux already...
[07:27] <Zack> Hi! I am not getting something on how to install adobe flash player. I have followed the instructions on the site  to install the .tar.gz but it doesnt seem to work.. heres the site.  http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BIOW
[07:27] <neasteflorin> serial for nero linux at www.serials.ws
[07:27] <outer> If Nero can make a paid official release for linux why can't Adobe...
[07:27] <Llama052> adobe should!
[07:27] <n8of9> grazed: when you get to the blank screen, try ctrl-alt-f1.  See if that takes you to a console.  If it does, you probably need to do some tweaking in your X configuration.
[07:28] <Madpilot> neasteflorin, vip3rousmango - piracy is always offtopic here... thank you.
[07:28] <Llama052> kubuntu fucked up my system :(
[07:28] <Nutubuntu> !ohmy
[07:28] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:28] <Llama052> sorry
[07:28] <Nutubuntu> C'mon people
[07:28] <grazed> is that remotely possible for a new person to accomplish?
[07:28] <Llama052> :P kinda annoyed
[07:28] <varka> Nutubuntu: shadeofgrey
[07:29] <neasteflorin> i hate it when my X craches
[07:29] <Zack> Hello, can someone tell me what i am doing wrong here??
[07:29] <n8of9> grazed: See if that key combo gets you to a console. We'll see from there.
[07:29] <Nutubuntu> varka, thought that's who you meant = he was not paying attention was he.
[07:29] <neasteflorin>  zack" no
[07:29] <grazed> ok, i shall be back. thank you =)
[07:29] <Madpilot> ubotu, flash | Zack

[07:29] <Newbie_Dude> So, I live in the stone-age and still use dialup modem. I ran a ScanModem and it says I have a Conexant modem. Also, it says I have to pay 19.95 to Linuxant, but I didn't realize a driver would cost money. >_< Does anyone know an alternative driver for Conexant Modem?
[07:29] <varka> Nutubuntu: not really ... well, not my problem
[07:29] <astro76> vip3rousmango, k3b can burn .img
[07:30] <neasteflorin> i use gnomebaker
[07:30] <Nutubuntu> varka, it takes two, yes? one to send, one to receive.
[07:30] <Zack> madpilot: i know that but im trying to install this .tar.gz file and it has always givin me problems i have never been able to install one.
[07:30] <Nutubuntu> Llama052,  fixable?
[07:30] <vip3rousmango> astro76: ok, i'll give it a shot..
[07:30] <shiester_miester> ok there is no way im reading back over all that
[07:30] <Newbie_Dude> !conexant
[07:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about conexant - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:30] <shiester_miester> anyone want to ask me all their questions again?  please keep it civil...
[07:30] <Madpilot> Zack, if you want Flash, you don't have to mess with tar.gz...
[07:30] <Llama052> hmm what?
[07:30] <n8of9> shiester_miester: oh, come on... it'll only be triple the length by the time you're done reading up to this point ;)
[07:31] <Nutubuntu> Um ... whatever kubuntu may have done, Llama052
[07:31] <h4lfl1ng> tar xvf blah.tar.gz, cd blah/, ./configure, make, make install
[07:31] <Zack> madpilot: well then wtf is this?? http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BIOW
[07:31] <shiester_miester> n8of9, im the shiester_miester, not the reader_miester
[07:31] <Llama052> I dont know
[07:31] <Llama052> but its making me mad
[07:31] <Llama052> I have no sound now.
[07:31] <bruenig> you don't install tar.gz, that is like saying you install .zip
[07:31] <Markos> anybody know if its possible to specifiy dcc ports in xchat-gnome? i dont see it
[07:31] <LinuxProbie> vip3rousmango, try bchunk
[07:31] <Newbie_Dude> Does anyone know where to get free dialup modem drivers (particularly for Conexant) I can't afford the 19.95 a year from Linuxant for a driver...
[07:31] <shiester_miester> gday bruenig
[07:31] <shiester_miester> how you doing?
[07:31] <Madpilot> Zack, there are easier ways of installing Flash - see the blurb the bot dropped on you, please
[07:31] <Llama052> NO sound and when I type shutdown 0 in console I get "need to be root"
[07:31] <bruenig> gees you are in here still
[07:31] <shiester_miester> Newbie_Dude, you have to PAY for drivers!?
[07:32] <Nutubuntu> Llama052,  you *do* need to be root to issue a shutdown cmd
[07:32] <Zack> madpilot: i tried synaptic and it doesnt have this version
[07:32] <Llama052> I am root
[07:32] <Zack> ubotu flash
[07:32] <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
[07:32] <shiester_miester> bruenig, yes, i am the ghost of netsplits past!  wooooOOOOOoooo
[07:32] <shiester_miester> Llama052, try "sudo shutdown 0"
[07:32] <Newbie_Dude> @shiester_miester: Yah, this play "linuxant" is charging 19.95 for a dialup modem driver. Kinda upsetting, so I'm looking for an alternative.
[07:32] <Nutubuntu> Llama052,  'sudo shutdown -r now' should reboot you ... "now" ...
[07:32] <Llama052> Okay
[07:32] <shiester_miester> Newbie_Dude, thats a pile of crap
[07:32] <Llama052> and how bout for me sound?
[07:32] <shiester_miester> Nutubuntu, he doesnt want to reboot, he wanted to shutdown :P
[07:33] <Nutubuntu> Ah, sorry, shiester_miester ... I'm reading uncarefully I guess
[07:33] <Optimus55> hey i tried ubuntu live cd, and its fairly decent speed. can anyone tell me if a fully installed ubuntu is faster than xp?
[07:33] <astro76> Llama052, shutdown 0, is 0 a valid option to shutdown? try shutdown -h now
[07:33] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, in some ways, yes, and others, no
[07:33] <Optimus55> how so?
[07:33] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, it has the potential to be faster because its more flexible
[07:33] <Madpilot> Optimus55, if you got good speed out of the LiveCD, you'll get even better speed out of the installed version
[07:33] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, its faster to boot, for me anyway
[07:33] <Nutubuntu> Llama052,  -r for restart and -h for halt (that is, stop)
[07:33] <Optimus55> the live cd take eons to boot tho... :(
[07:34] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, yeah cos its a CD!
[07:34] <Optimus55> how long does the full install take?
[07:34] <Optimus55> t oboot
[07:34] <Optimus55> to*
[07:34] <shiester_miester> mine takes something like 20 seconds
[07:34] <Littlegator> So my computer was powering down in windows and freezing on Ubuntu. I checked the heatsink on my CPU and it had 1/4 of an inch of dust caked on it. Could this have been the problem?
[07:34] <Ayabara> can I add/sutract hex numbers in a shell?
[07:34] <bruenig> Optimus55, linux is faster than xp, what you put on top of it, all the applications and such will dictate just how much you damper its speed, gnome is on the higher end of speed destruction
[07:34] <Nutubuntu> Optimus55,  booting from the HD is fast ... 15-20 sec maybe
[07:34] <Madpilot> Optimus55, mine boots in less than a minute - never bothered timing it
[07:34] <conorkirkpatrick> If my unbuntu install locked up when copying the log file, does that mean I can just hard reboot it and it will have ubuntu?
[07:34] <Newbie_Dude> @Optimus55: I've been on the full install for about 12 hours now. Seems to run very fast. My only problem is sometimes I click on a menu and it doesn't respond, so I gotta click again. :P Might be poor depth perception but not sure yet. :)
[07:34] <Optimus55> nice!
[07:35] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, also if you use 64bit ubuntu on 64bit architecture you can get extra speed, at the sacrifice of quite a bit of application compatibility
[07:35] <Llama052> Okay how do I restore to when I didnt have kubuntu
[07:35] <shiester_miester> Newbie_Dude, i have a similar problem, but its not a speed issue
[07:35] <Optimus55> does compiz fusion or any other nice graphics stuff affect the speed much?
[07:35] <h4lfl1ng> any ubuntu sound experts?
[07:35] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, YES
[07:35] <Zack> ok i need to install adobe flash player. how to?
[07:35] <n8of9> Littlegator: I'm not sure what problem you were having, but I'm going to say yes.
[07:35] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, any high-end 3d graphics slows down the OS :P
[07:35] <Newbie_Dude> @shiester_miester: I just downgraded from AMD64 version to i386 because a lot of the programs I wanted didn't support AMD64.
[07:35] <Ayabara> when I use the calculator in Scientific mode I want to use the letters to input hex values A-F. Can this be done?
[07:35] <Optimus55> shiester_miester: x_x
[07:36] <hsimah> hello, i am having trouble installing adobe flash player
[07:36] <hsimah> ive used add/remove and apt-get to install it
[07:36] <Optimus55> is that a graphics card issue or just how linux is?
[07:36] <Newbie_Dude> !dapper
[07:36] <ubotu> dapper is the 4th release of Ubuntu.  Version 6.06 LTS, codename "Dapper Drake".
[07:36] <Madpilot> Optimus55, 'slow down' is relative, of course...
[07:36] <bruenig> hsimah, do you use 64 bit?
[07:36] <hsimah> no
[07:36] <sx66> how do you stop the 'key ring manager' from popping up every time I connect to a wifi hotspot and asking for a passkey?
[07:36] <hsimah> im on feisty fawn
[07:36] <bruenig> hsimah, do ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and pastebin the output
[07:36] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, nothing to do with graphics card or ubuntu
[07:36] <bruenig> !paste | hsimah
[07:36] <ubotu> hsimah: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[07:36] <Madpilot> Optimus55, the alternative to 'graphics slow down your machine' is 'use only the command line' - which, let's face it, isn't that realistic an option...
[07:37] <Zack> Adobe flash player install anyone.
[07:37] <infamouskid> Does anyone knwo how to enable the snowfall effect in beryl??
[07:37] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, its just caused by the amount of processing that has to be done to make it look really fancy
[07:37] <Zack> Install.
[07:37] <Newbie_Dude> Does anyone know what "kernel version" Ubuntu 7.06 uses?
[07:37] <outer> It's amazing, I've never been on the Ubuntu channel before and it's so busy... A lot of other channels are like "Wait 10 minutes... Reply (maybe)"
[07:37] <bruenig> Newbie_Dude, no such thing as 7.06
[07:37] <Llama052> How do I restore to which a time I never had kunutu!?
[07:37] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, thats like asking: why does playing games with high graphics requirements slow down the OS...its the same reason
[07:37] <astro76> sx66, read the Automatic Keyring section here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager
[07:37] <Newbie_Dude> @bruenig: whoops, i mean the version "Feisty" or whatever :P Just downloaded it from the Ubuntu page
[07:38] <vip3rousmango> OK so my K3D isn't recognizing .img files..
[07:38] <hsimah> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29760/
[07:38] <Littlegator> What is Grub error 17?
[07:38] <Madpilot> Newbie_Dude, 7.04 uses 2.6.20-16-generic
[07:38] <bruenig> !prefix | hsimah
[07:38] <ubotu> hsimah: If you prefix your lines with the nickname of the person you're talking to, you have a greater chance that that person reads your messages
[07:38] <shiester_miester> outer, thats cos ubuntu kicks your asses!
[07:38] <Llama052> hello?
[07:38] <Nutubuntu> Newbie_Dude,  you can see the kernel version by opening a terminal and keying in 'uname -a'
[07:38] <hsimah> oh sorry
[07:38] <shiester_miester> Llama052, hi!
[07:38] <shiester_miester> Llama052, format the drive its on?
[07:38] <Zack> ;(
[07:38] <Zack> :(
[07:38] <Llama052> I have to do that?
[07:38] <shiester_miester> Llama052, if you format the drive, you wont have it anymore
[07:38] <hsimah> bruenig: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29760/ :)
[07:38] <Optimus55> ohhh i see what ur saying
[07:38] <Llama052> Neither will I have ubuntu
[07:38] <shiester_miester> Llama052, maybe you should rephrase your question
[07:38] <astro76> sx66, your keyring password has to be the same as your user password, and apparently there is no way to change the keyring password yet besides deleting ~/.gnome2/keyrings/default.keyring
[07:39] <Llama052> I want to restore my ubuntu to a earlier time
[07:39] <bruenig> hsimah, ok so what shows up in firefox when you put about:plugins in the address bar for flash
[07:39] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, yeah, you need to consider how seriously tricked-out most of the effects are...they arent easy to do
[07:39] <Optimus55> well i guess once you have a decent gfx card and cpu then the "processing" shouldnt be too much of a hit
[07:39] <astro76> sx66, the 3rd line about changing keyring password did not work for me
[07:39] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, yeah, i rarely see much impact on my processing because of it
[07:39] <Optimus55> k cool.
[07:39] <Optimus55> worth a try anyhow
[07:39] <hsimah> bruenig: there is nothing about flash in there
[07:39] <shiester_miester> Optimus55, as long as you have a good graphics card, plenty of ram and a good cpu
[07:39] <Nutubuntu> Llama052,  what did you do, that you want to  undo? what specific thing(s)?
[07:39] <bruenig> hsimah, what version of ubuntu
[07:39] <Llama052> Kubuntu
[07:40] <Madpilot> OpenBot, are you a bot?
[07:40] <OpenBot> no idea, madpilot
[07:40] <hsimah> feisty fawn, 7.04
[07:40] <shiester_miester> Llama052, you dont "undo" an operating system...did you install kubuntu over the top of vanilla ubuntu?
[07:40] <Llama052> yes
[07:40] <shiester_miester> err ok
[07:40] <shiester_miester> you could have always just installed KDE
[07:40] <hsimah> when i apt-get the plugin it says theres an md5sum mismatch, but it then says its at the latest version if i run it again
[07:41] <shiester_miester> Llama052, in that case, you can just install gnome, since i believe the only difference between ubuntu and kubuntu is that the latter uses KDE and the former uses gnome
[07:41] <bruenig> hsimah, yeah there has been some weird stuff with flash as of late from the repos, I would just sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree and then install from adobe
[07:41] <Llama052> whats the cmd for that?
[07:41] <shiester_miester> hsimah, yeah i hate it when the hash check fails, its so annoying
[07:41] <Nutubuntu> Llama052,  you might be able to get back to "pure" Gnome Ubuntu by doing this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[07:41] <hsimah> ok, ill try that
[07:41] <echosystm> can someone tell me where the x-config file is?
[07:41] <echosystm> gotta change res
[07:41] <Llama052> thats the longest cmd ive ever seen
[07:41] <astro76> echosystm, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:41] <hsimah> it also fails when i use firefox to download the plugin. says its installed but then asks me to install it again
[07:42] <shiester_miester> echosystm, do you mean change your current res, or the list of resolutions?
[07:42] <echosystm> its not letting me run 1680x1050 @ 60hz for some reason
[07:42] <echosystm> how do i fix that?
[07:42] <shiester_miester> ah ok
[07:42] <Nutubuntu> Oh dear me .. Llama052 that is not a command, it is the URI for a website that might tell you how to get out of the fix you're in
[07:42] <shiester_miester> echosystm, yeah, edit your xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:42] <echosystm> what do i change in particular?
[07:42] <shiester_miester> echosystm, but make sure to back it up first! if you mess it up it can be very hard to fix if you arent comfortable with it
[07:42] <astro76> echosystm, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:42] <Llama052> It has a link with a cmd
[07:42] <Nutubuntu> I'm sorry that was unclear
[07:42] <echosystm> thanks

[07:42] <bruenig> Llama052, it is a quite stupid way to uninstall everything in the kubuntu-desktop metapackage
[07:43] <shiester_miester> Nutubuntu, lmao that command is colossal
[07:43] <outer> Does anyone sometimes get a black screen when running applications while using Beryl?
[07:43] <Llama052> do what now?
[07:43] <Zack> Could somebody please tell me what i am doing wrong on installing adobe flash player!?
[07:43] <Nutubuntu> Oh! the command *on* the webpage
[07:43] <Nutubuntu> Golly I am so dense tonight
[07:43] <PurpZeY> outer: Yes...Just do "reload window manager"
[07:43] <Zack> outer: you can change it to metacity and it should take care of that problem
[07:43] <Nutubuntu> I hope it's just tonight ... :#
[07:43] <bruenig> someone should email him a way to do it with apt-cache show kubuntu-desktop followed by some clever sed and greps
[07:43] <shiester_miester> Zack, yeah but then you lose the compositing :P
[07:43] <mdmkolbe|work> How do I figure out what package contains stdlib.h.  I'm compiling something that depends on it and it doesn't seem to be present.
[07:43] <bruenig> that way he wouldn't have to update every release
[07:43] <shiester_miester> the better way is to set it to indirect rendering
[07:44] <Nutubuntu> Llama052,  you can cut and paste, I think that's what it intends you to do
[07:44] <Llama052> yeah
[07:44] <Llama052> Its loading
[07:44] <shiester_miester> outer, just set your compositing software to use indirect rendering.  you will get a performance drop but you shouldn't get that black window bug
[07:44] <PurpZeY> shiester_miester: I've relieved that problem myself by switching to metacity and switching back
[07:44] <hsimah> hooray, it installed from adobe
[07:44] <Zack> Adobe flash player! can someone help me install it?
[07:44] <hsimah> thanks bruenig :)
[07:44] <shiester_miester> outer, the problem is due to a memory leak in nvidia's drivers
[07:44] <PurpZeY> !flash
[07:44] <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
[07:44] <bruenig> hsimah, k
[07:44] <outer> I see.
[07:44] <shiester_miester> PurpZeY, true, but using indirect rendering will mean it doesnt happen at all, ever
[07:44] <Zack> That flash page Does NOT help
[07:44] <PurpZeY> shiester_miester: that sounds like work to me
[07:44] <bruenig> Zack, apparently flash from the repos has been iffy of late, get the tarball from adobe, and move over libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[07:45] <outer> Eh, I love the cube a lot though, I'd like to keep Beryl around if I can.
[07:45] <shiester_miester> PurpZeY, huh?  its LESS work
[07:45] <shiester_miester> you just click one setting and thats it, forever
[07:45] <PurpZeY> shiester_miester: I don't experience the problem all that often
[07:45] <_Codeman_> Technical question: How does the "clipboard" work in Kubuntu?
[07:45] <shiester_miester> oh ok
[07:45] <Zack> bruenig: i havent gotten that far!
[07:45] <shiester_miester> _Codeman_, data gets copied into a little spot in ram
[07:45] <Zack> i just downloaded the file and extracted it thats it
[07:45] <PurpZeY> shiester_miester: I was just being tired lazy and wiseguy
[07:45] <shiester_miester> oh ok
[07:46] <bruenig> Zack, well like I said, move over libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[07:46] <shiester_miester> _Codeman_, when you press "copy" the application probably tells the kernel to put some data into a shared area in ram that other apps can look at
[07:46] <_Codeman_> I'm writing a program that I would like to have parse data and put something in the clipboard... but I don't know how to access the buffer
[07:46] <Zack> bruenig: .so is the format after its extracted?
[07:46] <Newbie_Dude> Is Ubuntu a "non Plug-n-Play" OS? I ran a ScanModem and it says it can't use IRQ 0-255 and to turn off Plug-N-Play in my BIOS, but I'm afraid to turn that off without knowing if Ubuntu is a plug-n-play OS or not
[07:46] <bruenig> Zack, move the file over
[07:47] <shiester_miester> _Codeman_, download the source of some program that has copy/paste functionality and take a look
[07:47] <bruenig> Zack, inside that directory there is a file, it is called libflashplayer.so, you move that into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[07:47] <shiester_miester> Newbie_Dude, yes it is
[07:47] <shiester_miester> Newbie_Dude, afaik, anyway :/
[07:47] <shiester_miester> Newbie_Dude, all my plug & play stuff works in ubuntu, so i guess it is
[07:48] <Newbie_Dude> OK well I turned off Plug-N-Play and my computer didn't blow up so I guess it's OK. :P
[07:48] <shiester_miester> ok
[07:48] <grazed> ok, so i tried the ctl+alt+f1 thing you told me. although that just started a different boot process
[07:48] <Zack> bruenig: any idea why it is telling me i dont have permission to do what i want to my own freaking computer? i hate that.
[07:48] <PurpZeY> !sudo | Zack
[07:48] <ubotu> Zack: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:48] <bruenig> Zack, it is a security measure
[07:48] <Nutubuntu> What could be causing disk activity every 6 seconds? AFAIK I am not reading or writing anything ..
[07:48] <shiester_miester> grazed, what!?
[07:48] <shiester_miester> grazed, ctrl+alt+f1 puts you into a terminal...not reboot
[07:48] <bruenig> Zack, move it over using sudo
[07:48] <grazed> =/
[07:49] <grazed> ok heres my problem
[07:49] <Zack> bruenig: how do i do that? do i have to use the terminal for that?
[07:49] <bruenig> Zack, yes
[07:49] <outer> Is there no Thunderbird 2 for Ubuntu?
[07:49] <shiester_miester> Zack, if the user has permission, then EVERY SINGLE program on the computer has permission, which would be very very bad :P
[07:49] <bruenig> Zack, sudo mv /path/to/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[07:49] <Zack> bruenig: oook i havent ever moved anything using the terminal
[07:49] <Zack> k
[07:49] <shiester_miester> outer, yes there is, im using it right now
[07:49] <bruenig> Zack, feel free to use tab to complete filenames
[07:50] <grazed> installation went through perfect. i can boot from the cd live just fine. but when i try to boot from my hd, i get the ubuntu progress bar... then poof. it tries to use my vga output on my notebook instead of the built in monitor.
[07:50] <outer> It's not coming up for me in add/remove (excuse my noobness)
[07:50] <outer> Where would I find it?
[07:50] <bruenig> !info thunderbird
[07:50] <ubotu> Package thunderbird does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[07:50] <shiester_miester> outer, no its not in the repos
[07:50] <bruenig> really
[07:50] <bruenig> wow
[07:50] <shiester_miester> outer, you can install it yourself really easily though
[07:50] <bruenig> anyone know why it isn't in the repos?
[07:50] <vip3rousmango> anyone here use the PSX emulator PCSX?
[07:50] <shiester_miester> bruenig, same reason pidgin isnt?
[07:51] <shiester_miester> outer, just download it from the website, extract it into a directory and run it from there
[07:51] <bruenig> shiester_miester, but that is just a new version, shouldn't they have old thunderbird
[07:51] <outer> Alright, thanks.
[07:51] <bruenig> shiester_miester, gaim for instance is in them
[07:51] <shiester_miester> bruenig, :/ good point
[07:51] <mdmkolbe|work> How do I figure out which package provides a particular file?  Such as stdlib.h.
[07:51] <shiester_miester> yeah
[07:51] <astro76> thunderbird 1.5 is in feisty
[07:51] <bruenig> !find stdlib.h
[07:51] <varun00> how do I make gnome scroll the desktop if it is larger than my screen?
[07:51] <ubotu> File stdlib.h found in apcalc-dev, avr-libc, bash-builtins, brickos, cmix (and 37 others)
[07:51] <cntrlx> Could someone help me get xvid to work with mplayer for my .avi?
[07:51] <bruenig> !info apt-file | mdmkolbe

[07:51] <bruenig> hmmm
[07:51] <shiester_miester> varun00, you should be able to do it by pushing against the edges of your screen with the mouse...or at least thats how it works on my system
[07:52] <varun00> shiester_miester: yea I thought that would do it.......but the mouse just disappears instead of the desktop scrolling
[07:52] <shiester_miester> cntrlx, you need to get the codecs
[07:52] <Newbie_Dude> Can anyone recommend a good *low-resource* IRC program for Ubuntu that allows me to turn off the annoying "left the room" "entered the room" messages?
[07:52] <shiester_miester> varun00, thats weird...
[07:52] <shiester_miester> Newbie_Dude, that message has nothing to do with the client
[07:52] <varka> Newbie_Dude: IRSSI
[07:52] <cntrlx> i cant do that with synaptic?
[07:52] <preaction> Newbie_Dude: irssi is quite configurable
[07:52] <shiester_miester> Newbie_Dude, although some clients can hide it
[07:53] <vip3rousmango> Newbie_Dude: Konverstation, X-Chat
[07:53] <grazed> i guess this is an issue that cant be resolved? no one responded on the forums either =/
[07:53] <Newbie_Dude> @shiester_miester: So can I type something now to turn the messages off?
[07:53] <vip3rousmango> Newbie_Dude: which IRC are u using?
[07:53] <quaal> anyone know of a book keeping program for gnu/linux similar to quickbooks, or if quickbooks somehow runs in it
[07:53] <shiester_miester> Newbie_Dude, dunno
[07:53] <shiester_miester> i dont really care, they dont bother me at all
[07:53] <shiester_miester> grazed, of course it can be resolved
[07:53] <mariocesar_bo> hello, how can i mount an .iso and emulate like it's same as a cdrom.
[07:53] <shiester_miester> grazed, does your laptop have vga input?
[07:53] <bruenig> !mountiso | mariocesar_bo
[07:53] <ubotu> mariocesar_bo: 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.
[07:53] <vip3rousmango> mariocesar_bo: Gmount
[07:53] <Newbie_Dude> @vip3rousmango: I am using "GAIM" that came with Ubuntu. They just bother me cause it's hard to concentrate on what people are talkin' about. :P
[07:53] <cntrlx> what codec package should i get for mplayer
[07:53] <grazed> yep, i have a vga output
[07:54] <shiester_miester> grazed, plug the vga output into the vga input and there you go
[07:54] <bruenig> Newbie_Dude, gaim is weak, get xchat, you can do it
[07:54] <preaction> Newbie_Dude: use xchat instead? or irssi?
[07:54] <Nutubuntu> What could be causing disk activity every 6 seconds? I am not intentionally reading or writing anything ... not logging IRC either
[07:54] <grazed> ahah. well, i don't have a monitor handy.
[07:54] <Zack> bruenig: i did that command and pushed enter and it just went to another command line, does that mean it worked?
[07:54] <bruenig> Zack, yes
[07:54] <grazed> i'm at school with just my laptop.
[07:54] <outer> Alright, another small noob question (thanks for your time and patients). I've downloaded Thunderbird, where should I extract it to?
[07:54] <preaction> Newbie_Dude: i do believe that by default xchat automatically connects to this network and this channel
[07:54] <Newbie_Dude> X-Chat, thanks.
[07:54] <bruenig> Zack, it is installed now
[07:54] <vip3rousmango> Newbie_Dude: I used Gaim starting out as well. Try an actuall IRC client, not one that just runs on the IRC protocall. I like Konversation, i find it has a whole wack of nice features and a pleasing colour scheme..
[07:54] <shiester_miester> grazed, no no, not a monitor.  plug the laptops vga output INTO the laptops vga input
[07:54] <shiester_miester> grazed, just get a vga cable :P
[07:54] <varka> Zack: just open your firefox and type "about:plugins" into the adressfield
[07:55] <grazed> ohh, i got ya. no, i just have the output.
[07:55] <shiester_miester> grazed, oh ok
[07:55] <grazed> no input, sorry, i misunderstood.
[07:55] <Ademan> is there any way to "isolate" an application? sort of like a sandbox deal, except more for the purpose of security?
[07:55] <bruenig> konversation is kde, don't use it unless you are on kde especially since you request low resource
[07:55] <shiester_miester> grazed, you can probably fix that by messing with xorg.conf
[07:55] <shiester_miester> Ademan, yes there is
[07:55] <preaction> Ademan: it's called a "chroot jail"
[07:55] <mariocesar_bo> ubotu: it doesn't work for me, i explain myself. I am editing an ubuntu-installer and i want to mount the iso, and pop up the message to add the cdrom to synaptic
[07:55] <grazed> how can i get to that?
[07:55] <bruenig> !opsnack | mariocesar_bo
[07:55] <ubotu> mariocesar_bo: Chocolate!  And Peanuts!
[07:55] <mdmkolbe|work> bruenig: thanks.  I found it with apt-file after doing "sudo apt-file update"
[07:55] <IndyGunFreak> quaal: what version of quickbooks do you use?
[07:55] <Hoxzer> s
[07:55] <quaal> IndyGunFreak, not sure
[07:55] <bruenig> mdmkolbe, apt-file is good
[07:55] <shiester_miester> grazed, you should be able to start it up in recovery mode and use it?
[07:55] <vip3rousmango> bruenig: I use konversation and im not running kubuntu.. why can't i use it?
[07:55] <preaction> Ademan: it is not a simple task, though. i'm not sure if there's an easy utility to do it
[07:56] <Zack> bruenig: YES! i hope someone put an idea into launchpad about being able to drag and drop system files , just being asked for a password!
[07:56] <IndyGunFreak> wel,l that would help a lot, but here's a start...  http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=120
[07:56] <grazed> i'm assuming recovery mode gives just a command line?
[07:56] <bruenig> vip3rousmango, he said low resource, running a kde applications requires you to load tons more kde libs which would increase resource usage
[07:56] <quaal> IndyGunFreak, i just gave this guy an ubuntu7.04 cd because his windows is giving him shit freezing all the time
[07:56] <quaal> and he runs quickbooks on the windows
[07:56] <vip3rousmango> bruenig: ohh ok. Gotcha.
[07:56] <bruenig> Zack, command line is a good tool
[07:56] <IndyGunFreak> quaal: i see..,
[07:56] <Ademan> preaction: well alright i'm actually asking for a friend, but he was impressed with solaris' "containers"
[07:56] <dev_1> alo
[07:57] <bruenig> Zack, by the way I don't think that will happen because technically it would be difficult
[07:57] <shiester_miester> why do you want a "low resource" IRC client?  its not like xchat uses a particularly large amount...
[07:57] <IndyGunFreak> quaal: doesn't look like it works w/ wine
[07:57] <preaction> Ademan: solaris' containers are most likely chroot jails. (solaris being built / forked from unix)
[07:57] <dev_1> how to read file *.chm in ubuntu
[07:57] <shiester_miester> if you can run ubuntu, irc should be no problem, no matter what client it is
[07:57] <Hoxzer> DOes somebody here know what should I do if amarok doesn't start (doesn't show any errors)
[07:57] <varka> Zack: gksudo nautilus would do the job but i highly recommend the command line interface
[07:57] <mariocesar_bo> so how can i emulate mounting an iso, to behave same as I insert a cd?
[07:57] <bruenig> Hoxzer, running amarok from command line doesn't show any errors
[07:57] <bruenig> mariocesar_bo, you can't, the latter is a hal event
[07:57] <pppZero> Hoxzer: i get that sometimes, do a "killall amarokapp" and try again :)
[07:58] <shiester_miester> mariocesar_bo, we already told you
[07:58] <bruenig> mariocesar_bo, you can still do whatever you need to do though
[07:58] <shiester_miester> !mountiso | mariocesar_bo
[07:58] <ubotu> mariocesar_bo: 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.
[07:58] <Zack> varka: what is gksudo nautilus
[07:58] <Zack> ?
[07:58] <Hoxzer> pppZero: that isn't running for me :(
[07:58] <varka> Zack: it runs nautilus with root privileges
[07:58] <shiester_miester> varka, runs nautilus with super user privileges
[07:58] <preaction> Ademan: i lied, solaris containers are internally virtual machines. chroot jails just run a single program with a different root directory
[07:58] <bruenig> Zack, nautilus is the name of the file manager
[07:58] <shiester_miester> varka, sudo != root
[07:58] <Hoxzer> can I use Rhythmbox to move files ?
[07:58] <shiester_miester> varka, sudo == super user
[07:58] <grazed> shiester_miester: does recovery mode give just a command line?
[07:58] <Zack> bruenig: so it does what i just described but it has security issues?
[07:58] <bruenig> Hoxzer, don't think so, easytag is good though I assume for what you may be trying to do
[07:59] <mariocesar_bo> bruenig: thanks, i think i keep using qemu to test my isos
[07:59] <astro76> shiester_miester, super user priveleges and root priveleges mean exactly the same thing
[07:59] <shiester_miester> grazed, yup.  from there you can edit xorg.conf and see if u can fix it
[07:59] <vip3rousmango> !mountiso | vip3rousmango
[07:59] <bruenig> Zack, no, it opens a file manager as root, there is a difference
[07:59] <IndyGunFreak> quaal: just doing some light googling, his best option might be to run WinXP in VMWare, and then install Quickboks there, and fire up Vmware when he needs to run Quickbook
[07:59] <varka> shiester_miester: i didnt say "it runs AS root" but with root priviliges!
[07:59] <shiester_miester> astro76, they mean the same thing, but they arent the same thing
[07:59] <shiester_miester> varka, oh ok, sorry
[07:59] <outer> When I download a package, where should I put it and how to I run it?
[07:59] <Ademan> preaction: yeah i sort of knew about chroot jails (well i just really know chroot), but that's interesting, you'd think a platform like linux would have something equivalent
[07:59] <IndyGunFreak> quaal: doesn't look like it works under linux, and i can't find any real alternatives
[07:59] <grazed> so, just type xorg.conf at the command line to start it?
[07:59] <Zack> bruenig: as apposed to it opening as..
[07:59] <bruenig> outer, what is the name of the file?
[07:59] <shiester_miester> grazed, no its a configuration file, you need to edit it
[07:59] <astro76> shiester_miester, sure they are, just because root account is disabled... sudo still gives you root priveleges
[08:00] <quaal> IndyGunFreak, yea i was thinking the same.
[08:00] <vip3rousmango> when i'm trying to mount an image, which mountpoint do i use? cdrom0, or cdrom1?
[08:00] <shiester_miester> grazed, definitely make a backup of it first, and figure out the syntax that it uses
[08:00] <outer> It's just the Thunderbird 2 folder
[08:00] <outer> Theres lots of files in it.
[08:00] <shiester_miester> grazed, figure out the xorg.conf syntax before you go messing with it :P
[08:00] <preaction> Ademan: theoretically you could make your own virtual machines using one of the VM packages available (which would be more in-line with solaris containers)
[08:00] <grazed> got ya
[08:00] <bruenig> Zack, you were talking about dragging and dropping files as a regular user and then have a password dialog come up offering you to switch to root, this is much more difficult because the gksudo setup is not universal across linux distros and so that sort of functionality would break different types of configuration that have root users and don't use sudo
[08:00] <shiester_miester> outer, yes, there are. one of them is a file that runs thunderbird
[08:01] <bruenig> outer, move the entire directory to /opt
[08:01] <shiester_miester> bruenig, why?
[08:01] <Zack> Ok question! Does everybody else see a HUGE white box over almost all of www.toyota.com ?   bruenig i get it now
[08:01] <bruenig> shiester_miester, that is what the filesystem dictates
[08:01] <Ademan> preaction: yeah true, so i guess it avoids bad code by virtue of being a virtual environment... i guess... probably in combination with a chroot i guess
[08:01] <shiester_miester> i just shoved mine in the home directory :/
[08:01] <james296> I really would like to know what to do to change the System Update icon in Synaptic...
[08:01] <IndyGunFreak> quaal: or, leave Windows about 10-20gig partition, which is plenty for Quickbooks, IE, and Office(which quickbooks really needs), and then assign the rest of the hard drive to Ubuntu.., and dual boot xp and ubuntu.., and just boot XP when quickbooks is needed, but vmware is probably more practical.
[08:01] <Newbie_Dude> Anyone know where to get build-essential, linux-headers-ARCH, fakeroot" I checked Synaptic and didn't find any of those, this modem driver thing says I need those to build. :(
[08:02] <bruenig> Zack, yeah bad flash
[08:02] <james296> because when I replaced the old icon, it still is not changed
[08:02] <astro76> vip3rousmango,  neither, mount it somewhere else like /mnt, or /media/whatever
[08:02] <preaction> Ademan: not exactly, there is no chroot because it's a different server (it's a Virtual machine)
[08:02] <quaal> IndyGunFreak, thanks
[08:02] <quaal> dont think i want a dual booting situation though
[08:02] <kairu0> mdadm question: my root partition is on hda1, and i have a software raid1 setup with /sda1+sdb1. if hda1 dies will i have trouble importing the raid into a new installation?
[08:02] <varka> bruenig: since when are we talking about linux distros in common, i thought ubuntu is still the topic?!
[08:02] <shiester_miester> quaal, yeah dual booting sucks
[08:02] <quaal> vmware
[08:02] <Ademan> preaction: ah
[08:02] <Zack> bruenig: see thats what i was trying to fix! i have been following a bug report and someone said that when they installed this latest version of flash it was fixed!
[08:02] <vip3rousmango> Zack: I also see a massive white block, it seems their flash-header isn't loading like they'd want it too =b
[08:02] <bruenig> shiester_miester, technically stuff like firefox and thunderbird are supposed to be in /opt, I know other distros like arch actually have the package manager put them in there, most distros however try to fit it in to the /usr scheme of things with bin and lib and whatnot
[08:02] <Brent> Hello everyone
[08:02] <bruenig> Zack, you should be fine on other pages like youtube
[08:02] <shiester_miester> gday Brent
[08:02] <DrkCodeman> what is good software to capture applications?
[08:02] <outer> About OPT, apparently I don't have permission to write to that folder.
[08:03] <shiester_miester> DrkCodeman, .NET
[08:03] <Zack> There are many flash websites like this, www.samsung.com  ect.
[08:03] <vip3rousmango> astro76: wait what, I can mount to any folder i want?!
[08:03] <preaction> Ademan: a chrooted program could still theoretically take up all the resources of the kernel, could crash things. the only thing it cannot do is access any files that exist outside of / (because to that program, they can not exist)
[08:03] <IndyGunFreak> quaal: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183209
[08:03] <DrkCodeman> something like fraps
[08:03] <Brent> I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a problem I'm having. It has to do with running Ubuntu on my laptop
[08:03] <shiester_miester> !justask | Brent
[08:03] <ubotu> Brent: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:03] <vip3rousmango> Brent: just ask, if we can help we shall :)
[08:03] <Brent> I get a blank screen when I try to run it, no matter if it's a live boot or installed
[08:03] <bruenig> outer, just don't worry about it, keep it in your home directory and run the thunderbird file inside the directory
[08:03] <shiester_miester> i win!
[08:03] <vip3rousmango> damnit!
[08:03] <vip3rousmango> lol
[08:03] <DrkCodeman> shiester_miester, no like fraps but for linux
[08:03] <Nutubuntu> typester_meister ;)
[08:03] <varun00> is there some way to do a bare Ubuntu install? or at least choose what packages I want?
[08:04] <Brent> ubotu, sorry, I was trying to not "butt in"
[08:04] <shiester_miester> DrkCodeman, dunno
[08:04] <preaction> Ademan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot <- a good article about the limitations of chroot
[08:04] <Ademan> thanks preaction
[08:04] <Brent> oops
[08:04] <Zack> bruenig: i know but i am a automotive columnist writer and many of the sites/sources i use have this problem and i mainly work with TOYOTA AND SCION!
[08:04] <vip3rousmango> Brent: ubotu is a bot.. not human =b
[08:04] <shiester_miester> varun00, ubuntu install is pretty minimalistic as it is...
[08:04] <Zack> Scion wont even load
[08:04] <Brent> Yeah, I just realized that, sorry!
[08:04] <vip3rousmango> lol
[08:04] <DrkCodeman> anyone here know decent software for linux like fraps for capturing game feeds?
[08:04] <vip3rousmango> so are u trying to install ubuntu onto your laptop?
[08:04] <astro76> vip3rousmango, yes, by convention /mnt is used to temporarily mount things, and drives are mounted in subdirs under /media, technically it can be mounted to any empty directory
[08:04] <shiester_miester> DrkCodeman, what exactly are you trying to capture?
[08:04] <shiester_miester> DrkCodeman, audio? video? network traffic?
[08:04] <Zack> Nobody can get www.scion.com to load either correct?
[08:04] <Brent> I have tried installing ubuntu on an external drive, and also running the live DVD
[08:04] <varun00> shiester_miester: oh. I didn't realize, I guess. I'm used to all the other distros where you can individually select packages
[08:04] <outer> Thanks, do I run the "thunderbird" file through terminal?
[08:04] <DrkCodeman> i host lan parties i like to capture in game gameplay
[08:04] <shiester_miester> DrkCodeman, code execution?
[08:04] <Brent> it's from a cover disk
[08:05] <shiester_miester> DrkCodeman, ah, so you mean video
[08:05] <bruenig> Zack, send them an email telling them their site sucks, you can also get windows firefox going through wine and then install windows flash into that, that is a tad more involved though
[08:05] <DrkCodeman> yes
[08:05] <preaction> Ademan: but, again, if your friend wants the exact functionality of Solaris Containers, your best bet would be a VM solution (qemu, vmware, etc...)
[08:05] <shiester_miester> DrkCodeman, yeah there is one or more
[08:05] <Brent> I am able to run other distros on this machine, but not Ubuntu based
[08:05] <Brent> or so it seems
[08:05] <DrkCodeman> what are good ones?
[08:05] <Zack> bruenig: i have wine and i know how to use it i was just trying to avoid that because wine is unstable.
[08:05] <vip3rousmango> astro76: so to mount massive.img all i'd have to do is:: sudo mount -o loop massive.img /mnt
[08:05] <Ademan> preaction: yeah i dunno, he's a bit insane, he's insistent on hardening his computer which won't even be exposed to the WAN
[08:05] <bruenig> Zack, no it isn't
[08:06] <shiester_miester> DrkCodeman, i remember reading about them on the youtube videos about compositing software, where these apps were used to grab the video output of the compositing software like beryl and compiz
[08:06] <DrkCodeman> Lives might support it hmm
[08:06] <bruenig> Zack, wine is always running on my computer because utorrent sits in the tray so long as my computer is on
[08:06] <preaction> Ademan: i lied, here's an article about some other OS-level Virtualization solutions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system-level_virtualization
[08:06] <bruenig> and has been like that for a year or so
[08:06] <shiester_miester> DrkCodeman, i dunno what they are called though...ask someone else ;)
[08:06] <Zack> bruenig: iv had issues... utorrent? and www.scion.com isnt loadable correct? I just need to make sure im up to date and im not missing something.
[08:06] <Brent> Has anyone else gotten an ubuntu distro working on an HP laptop?
[08:07] <astro76> Brent, HP Pavillion zd8215
[08:07] <vip3rousmango> Brent: yes, Im using ubuntu on my HP Pavilion dv1000
[08:07] <varun00> I'm having trouble getting sound to work......and I'm not sure how to go about debugging it. Is there a doc/wiki page for setting up sound?
[08:07] <outer> Hm, I can't seem to figure out what command will run the Thunderbird file.
[08:07] <Zack> 80%
[08:07] <Brent> I'm using a dv6119us
[08:07] <astro76> outer, where did you untar it?
[08:07] <bruenig> Zack, there is nothing you can do I assure you, I have flash java and the works going as far as plugins, the flash is just poor, I would just roll with windows firefox and windows flash through wine
[08:07] <varun00> It looks like it's detecting my sound card properly, I just can't hear any sounds
[08:07] <vip3rousmango> Brent: does the liveCD not run?...
[08:07] <shiester_miester> Zack, www.scion.com seems to load up to 80% and then stop :/
[08:08] <jd_> hello all
[08:08] <Brent> It starts to load, I get the menu and all, but after loading some stuff, it just goes to a blank screen. I have to restart the computer to get out of it
[08:08] <shiester_miester> Zack, this is such a crappy website that i cant even begin to describe how crappy it is
[08:08] <shiester_miester> jd_, gday
[08:08] <outer> I extracted the entire folder into my Home Folder
[08:08] <vip3rousmango> Brent: does that HP have a built in ATI/nVidia card?
[08:08] <Zack> www.scion.com is actually using the latest in xml code...
[08:08] <n8of9> Does anyone here know how to swap audio channels in Edgy? (left <-> right)
[08:08] <jd_> i have a ? bout beryl
[08:08] <Brent> Yes, it's a Geforce card
[08:08] <quaal> anyone run vmware
[08:08] <shiester_miester> Zack, yeah, except that all the content is in flash...
[08:08] <Brent> 6150 Go I believe
[08:08] <vip3rousmango> Brent: Geforce what?
[08:08] <quaal> and is there a apt-get for it
[08:08] <astro76> outer, you can run it with ~/thunderbird/thunderbird
[08:09] <Brent> or Go 6150, something like that
[08:09] <shiester_miester> Zack, which completely eliminates all benefit you get from using the latest standards
[08:09] <IndyGunFreak> quaal: i'm pretty sure its in the repositories.
[08:09] <jd_> i cant get my skydome to work
[08:09] <Nutubuntu> quaal,  vmware-server in the commercial repos
[08:09] <Zack> it has been described as "internet 2.0 symbol of the future." as far as coding goes.
[08:09] <shiester_miester> Zack, and also, they are missing an <XML> tag from the start :P
[08:09] <vip3rousmango> Brent: Most likely you're missing some graphic drivers if screen goes black but kernel and everything loads up fine..
[08:09] <makuseru>  hi, i have a question about mplayer, when you do 'mplayer -dumpaudio video.avi' it dumps the audio stram out for you, is there anyway to dump only a portion of it out? just like point a to point b, instead of dumping the entire stream?
[08:09] <shiester_miester> so they arent quite as perfect as you say they are
[08:09] <vip3rousmango> !ati | Brent
[08:09] <ubotu> Brent: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:09] <quaal> Nutubuntu, E: Couldn't find package vmware-server
[08:09] <deaincaelo> hi
[08:09] <Brent> How can I fix that?
[08:09] <bluestar> hi all
[08:09] <astro76> outer, or if you want you can put a link in /usr/local/bin which is in your path, ln -s ~/thunderbird/thunderbird /usr/local/bin/thunderbird
[08:09] <Nutubuntu> quaal,  commercial repos
[08:09] <Brent> Oops, sorry, cross post
[08:09] <shiester_miester> Zack, what a pile of crap...its in FLASH
[08:09] <Zack> tag? im just telling what has been reported
[08:10] <astro76> outer, then you can just type thunderbird
[08:10] <quaal> Nutubuntu, hmm
[08:10] <jd_> can anyone help with my beryl ?\
[08:10] <IndyGunFreak> Nutubuntu: but it is still free isn't it?...
[08:10] <outer> Thank you so much, it works.
[08:10] <bruenig> !beryl | jd_
[08:10] <ubotu> jd_: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[08:10] <Brent> Could it be a Gnome issue?
[08:10] <deaincaelo> i'm a newbie here, i was wondering if someone could help me with xchat crashing when i try to pull up servers?
[08:10] <shiester_miester> Zack, obviously its not very good at all since it doesnt appear to work in ubuntu / firefox
[08:10] <Brent> I got PCLinuxOS working fine
[08:10] <Brent> I think that runs, KDE, no?
[08:10] <outer> Now I know how to run progreams from just extracting them, thanks a lot, seriously.
[08:10] <Zack> but it works in others.
[08:10] <Nutubuntu> IndyGunFreak,  yes, all they want from you is an E-addy
[08:10] <shiester_miester> Zack, on the other hand, my own website works in everything, so therefore it must be better than theirs :P
[08:10] <jd_> yes but i know this but my skydome does not work
[08:10] <IndyGunFreak> Brent: pretty sure, but i think there's a version that uses Gnome also.
[08:11] <shiester_miester> Zack, a real web developer is not content with his site working in "MOST" browsers...it should work in EVERYTHING
[08:11] <Zack> well thats just depressing.
[08:11] <vip3rousmango> Brent: i guess it's possible. I didn't have any issues installing linux over windows for this HP machine.. but then again your HP is much better than mine and has a lot more native drivers on it
[08:11] <Nutubuntu> quaal,  http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ I think will get you the commercial repository
[08:11] <outer> I'm going to go exploring for some software, thanks for the help everyone.
[08:11] <shiester_miester> its their own fault for using flash where its not necessary
[08:11] <vip3rousmango> shiester_miester is right.
[08:11] <klobster> shout out: http:/firewater.tv best band ever.  give em your ears, then give em your money
[08:11] <quaal> Nutubuntu, thanks bud
[08:11] <shiester_miester> and not even having a html-based version
[08:11] <Nutubuntu> y/w quaal
[08:11] <Zack> I seriously need these sites and they DONT WORK.
[08:11] <necro> Anyone have an idea why samba would stop working after a power outage?  I haven't changed any settings.  Any help would be appreciated.
[08:11] <astro76> Brent, and my HP has an ATI card... I doubt it's related to kde vs gnome
[08:11] <vip3rousmango> .. and thats why no one buys a scion
[08:12] <Brent> I can't get Linux Mint or Ubuntu Studio running either, which is why I thought it was Ubuntu related. I'm looking at that site now. I hope I can understand it all! I'm still pretty much a newb
[08:12] <Bijun>  hi
[08:12] <Zack> oh well, ill try wine.
[08:12] <Brent> Ok, that's good news astro76
[08:12] <Nutubuntu> Well, that and the fact that they look like a shoebox
[08:12] <jd_> ok can any one help with skydomes in beryl
[08:12] <vip3rousmango> Brent: everyone has to start somewhere =b
[08:12] <deaincaelo> i'm a newbie here, i was wondering if someone could help me with xchat crashing when i try to pull up servers?
[08:12] <Zack> Bijun: need anything?
[08:12] <shiester_miester> Zack, it opens fine in internet explorer in ubuntu
[08:12] <bluestar> any one knows a good anti-virus for ubuntu
[08:12] <shiester_miester> Zack, oh wait...apparently not
[08:12] <shiester_miester> bluestar, www.avast.com
[08:12] <Brent> I'll read some on that site, and ask with the stuff I don't understand. BRB
[08:12] <vip3rousmango> deaincaelo: x-chat crashes when you try to bring up the sever list to connect to ubuntu server?
[08:12] <IndyGunFreak> bluestar: i think in addition to avast, there's clamav
[08:12] <shiester_miester> Zack, well, looks like it doesnt work in ubuntu at all
[08:12] <bluestar> thanks
[08:12] <Nutubuntu> bluestar,  clamav, avast
[08:12] <Zack> shiester_miester: ah! seriously!
[08:13] <IndyGunFreak> which is more or less a suite
[08:13] <vip3rousmango> IndyGunFreak: you need anti-virus on linux!?
[08:13] <shiester_miester> Zack, yeah, i tried IE and it does the same thing
[08:13] <IndyGunFreak> vip3rousmango: i don't...lol, bluestar asked, so i told him
[08:13] <shiester_miester> vip3rousmango, better safe than sorry ;) there ARE viruses for linux, just less of them
[08:13] <astro76> !virus | bluestar
[08:13] <ubotu> bluestar: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[08:13] <deaincaelo> vip3rousmango: no, it crashes when i click irc, connect, then the server
[08:13] <Bijun>  hi ppl
[08:13] <kr00lplatinum> anyone want to help me get beryl to run on boot so, I don't have to manually start it?
[08:13] <Zack> shiester_miester: what could we/ubuntu be missing?...... theres something that we dont have that IE has.
[08:13] <pondy> Bijun, hi
[08:13] <Zack> well not IE
[08:13] <vip3rousmango> shiester_miester: true. that would just suck so much though.. linux viruses :(
[08:14] <Zack> but ubuntu
[08:14] <xerxes31415> Can anyone tell me if there's a way to get 32 bit programs and applications to run on my 64-bit system?
[08:14] <shiester_miester> Zack, its not our fault, its their own fault for making a non-compatible website
[08:14] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: how about bloated code?
[08:14] <Brent> Ok, first question. It seems like I have to be IN Linux to install these drivers?
[08:14] <bluestar> do i need a firewall?
[08:14] <Bijun>  obviously
[08:14] <shiester_miester> bluestar, ubuntu has a firewall
[08:14] <Zack> Bloated code? Explain.
[08:14] <astro76> deaincaelo, you could try xchat instead of xchat-gnome
[08:14] <shiester_miester> Brent, yes, you have to be in linux to install linux drivers ;)
[08:14] <Newbie_Dude> I can't believe Conexant drivers are free for Windows but 15 bucks on Linux, slap in the face!!!
[08:14] <IndyGunFreak> bluestar: its a good idea to have a hardware firewall, no matter what OS you run, but if you don't have one, then you should configure iptables
[08:14] <kr00lplatinum> Anyone want to help me with Beryl?
[08:14] <bluestar> where ?
[08:14] <IndyGunFreak> !iptables | bluestar
[08:14] <Brent> That's the problem. I can't get in to it
[08:14] <ubotu> bluestar: 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).
[08:14] <shiester_miester> xerxes31415, 32bit code can execute natively on a 64bit cpu
[08:15] <Brent> It goes blank before I ever get a mouse cursor or anything
[08:15] <Zack> shiester_miester: but we should be able to adapt well enough to take in those screw ups just as Windows and Mac does.
[08:15] <shiester_miester> xerxes31415, but whether the program itself works or not is up to the program...sometimes they just WONT
[08:15] <deaincaelo> astro76: tried gnome first, then the regular. same thing. roommate suggested completely wiping it and re-installing.
[08:15] <DribblyLungOoze> how do I change the screen resolution of the login screen?
[08:15] <Nutubuntu> bluestar,  you can build a fine firewall out of an old Pentium or even a 486 ... google  smoothwall or ipcop, for example
[08:15] <kr00lplatinum> Any BERYL experts out there?
[08:15] <bluestar> thank you for your help
[08:15] <IndyGunFreak> !beryl | kr00lplatinum
[08:15] <ubotu> kr00lplatinum: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[08:15] <shiester_miester> Zack, the problem is that they are designed FOR windows, since its the most popular, so you won't see any problems if you just use IE in windows since the whole web is pretty much made for it
[08:15] <Zack> kr00lplatinum: i maybe able to help
[08:15] <kairu0> mdadm question: my root partition is on hda1, and i have a software raid1 setup with /sda1+sdb1. if hda1 dies will i have trouble importing the raid into a new installation?
[08:15] <shiester_miester> someone should change that link to #beryl
[08:16] <Nutubuntu> kr00lplatinum,  likely theyd' be in #ubuntu-effects or #compiz-fusion
[08:16] <xerxes31415> sheister_meister: that's what I keep reading, and there seem to be some major items out there that won't run
[08:16] <necro> need help with samba suddenly not working.  Anyone?
[08:16] <shiester_miester> xerxes31415, yep, thats why i run 32bit ubuntu on my 64bit cpu
[08:16] <xerxes31415> like boinc, skype, and flash
[08:16] <xerxes31415> ah
[08:16] <kr00lplatinum> Zack: i need to know how to get Beryl to boot on the starup. I don't want to have to launch it every time.
[08:16] <shiester_miester> xerxes31415, because the programmers just do NOT write the software to be compatible with the newer architecture
[08:16] <astro76> deaincaelo, you could try deleting your .xchat2 directory (or mv it temporarily, mv ~/.xchat2 .xchat2-bak
[08:16] <xerxes31415> that's a real pity, I might just have to do that
[08:16] <IndyGunFreak> shiester_miester: same here... much less hoop jumping, and there's not that much of an advantage to 64bit... but you know some people, they gotta have everything.

[08:17] <ubotu> To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[08:17] <shiester_miester> Zack, yes!  it pisses me off daily, as a web developer, having to design for IE
[08:17] <deaincaelo> astro76: thx
[08:17] <kr00lplatinum> shiester_miester: what do i do then?
[08:17] <shiester_miester> kr00lplatinum, add it to the list of things that start up :P
[08:18] <xerxes31415> now a different question, will I notice a change switching to 32-bit? (ignoring stuff I've installed, et al)
[08:18] <crypticpenguin> everytime i change the start up with sessions it never get saved, do i need to login under root for it to be permanent?
[08:18] <Brent> Any ideas as to why I can't even get into Linux to load my drivers?
[08:18] <Zack> kr00lplatinum l startup
[08:18] <tupa> everytime I start session in KDE the apps from the previous session are re-opened
[08:18] <IndyGunFreak> xerxes31415: probably not.
[08:18] <shiester_miester> xerxes31415, its exactly the same, but more stuff works and it will be slightly slower
[08:18] <tupa> does anyone know where the applications session/log is saved?
[08:18] <bruenig> tupa, yeah you have it set to save the session
[08:18] <Zack> ubotu l kr00lplatinum startup
[08:18] <kr00lplatinum> Zach: how do i add it?
[08:18] <bruenig> tupa, in ~ somewhere
[08:18] <shiester_miester> kr00lplatinum, its quite easy, seriously
[08:18] <Brent> Isn't there like a safe mode in Grub or something that I can try? Maybe?
[08:18] <DribblyLungOoze> i am using Edgy Eft 6.10, with the default gnome ubuntu login screen. It always loads at 1280x1024 which my monitor doesn't support properly so it looks corrupted. How do I change the login screen to 1024x768????
[08:18] <bruenig> tupa, ~/.cache makes sense as does ~/.config just go have a look
[08:18] <shiester_miester> kr00lplatinum, you click the "new" button
[08:19] <Zack> kr00lplatinum: read these instructions.
[08:19] <Zack> ubotu startup
[08:19] <ubotu> To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[08:19] <kr00lplatinum> shiester_miester: I don't know linux.
[08:19] <shiester_miester> kr00lplatinum, and then you type in the name of the app and then the command line for it
[08:19] <IndyGunFreak> Brent: you can google for the Super grub Disk, and use it to reinstall Grub.
[08:19] <xerxes31415> shiester_miester, may I PM?
[08:19] <shiester_miester> kr00lplatinum, its not about knowing linux...please actually have a look at something and TRY it first, before saying "i dont know"
[08:19] <kr00lplatinum> shiester_miester: how do you get the command line for things
[08:19] <mhz`> kr00lplatinum, what do you mean?
[08:19] <Brent> Grub loads fine and I can select the Ubuntu OS, but I think there might have been another option there. If it's like a safe mode, should that run enough for me to get the drivers?
[08:19] <shiester_miester> kr00lplatinum, how do you launch beryl?
[08:20] <Zack> kr00lplatinum: applications > accessories > terminal
[08:20] <astro76> kr00lplatinum, Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[08:20] <jd_> can some please help me
[08:20] <kr00lplatinum> shiester_miester: i've been on beryl home page for about a week and i don't get it. I'm a n00b to linux not to how computers work.
[08:20] <Zack> kr00lplatinum: oh that command line
[08:20] <Jordan_U> jd_, Ask your question, if someone can help they will
[08:20] <shiester_miester> kr00lplatinum, most people in here are n00bs, including me :P
[08:20] <jd_> ok
[08:20] <IndyGunFreak> Brent: i think there's a recovery mode in your grub entries, but it will boot a command line...
[08:20] <cotyrothery> guys how do i do a bios update with ubuntu
[08:20] <shiester_miester> kr00lplatinum, so have you installed beryl yet?
[08:20] <jd_> i need help making my skydome work in beryl
[08:20] <Bijun>  u ppl should get on private chat
[08:20] <bayu_kr> help me.. i have a dvd room but i can't open a cd, i'm running on feisty
[08:20] <Brent> Yikes, I don't know my way around command line at all
[08:20] <Bijun>  this is damn messy
[08:20] <cotyrothery> I need to know
[08:21] <IndyGunFreak> Bijun: what do you mean?
[08:21] <shiester_miester> Bijun, private chat wouldnt work at all
[08:21] <Madpilot> Bijun, this is pretty standard for this channel
[08:21] <DribblyLungOoze> anyone know how to change the screen res of login screen? hello?
[08:21] <Zack> shiester_miester: ill show you what he means, system>preferences>sessions> new
[08:21] <kr00lplatinum> shiester_miester: yes but i had to use automatix
[08:21] <Bijun>  too many conversations running round
[08:21] <necro> Anyone know why samba would just stop working?  I haven't changed anything?
[08:21] <Nutubuntu> actually Bijun this is a slow night :)
[08:21] <Bijun>  ppl are bound to get confused
[08:21] <IndyGunFreak> Bijun: well, nobody said you had to read them all.
[08:21] <Madpilot> kr00lplatinum, autobreakitz is best avoided...
[08:21] <shiester_miester> !automatix | kr00lplatinum
[08:21] <ubotu> kr00lplatinum: 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
[08:21] <astro76> cotyrothery, bios updates are done outside of your OS
[08:21] <kr00lplatinum> Zach: do you know what command line i need for beryl?
[08:21] <Brent> I'm new here, and I'm not confused in the slightest
[08:21] <IndyGunFreak> Bijun: thats why you put the persons name you're talking to, at the beginning, so it highlights and alerts the person you talk to.
[08:21] <shiester_miester> Bijun, occasionally they do, but thats what you get in IRC
[08:21] <astro76> cotyrothery, usually either a boot floppy or some bios setups have a bios upgrade utility built in
[08:21] <Brent> Well, about the chat, that is
[08:21] <cotyrothery> astro76: i know but the scan said i need windows
[08:21] <Bijun>  oh
[08:21] <Bijun>  i'm on trillian
[08:22] <Madpilot> Brent, :D
[08:22] <shiester_miester> you just have to keep up :P
[08:22] <cotyrothery> http://scan.esupport.com/scan_step1.php?r=1
[08:22] <Bijun>  so the highlighting thing doesn't work
[08:22] <Zack> kr00lplatinum: iv had to use command lines b4 with my ipod im just trying to remember how to use them

[08:22] <jd_> does anyone in here use beryl?
[08:22] <IndyGunFreak> Bijun: just another reason to use an actual irc client i guess
[08:22] <shiester_miester> Bijun, how about you use a real irc client

[08:22] <cotyrothery> I really need a bios update
[08:22] <jd_> no not that easy it wont work
[08:22] <shiester_miester> cya Bijun
[08:23] <cotyrothery> mine has not been updated since 02
[08:23] <shiester_miester> jd_, why not?
[08:23] <Madpilot> Zack, the bot seems to have some lag here
[08:23] <cotyrothery> and i dont know how with ubuntu
[08:23] <Nutubuntu> that was nice of him to come in just to tell us he's confused :)
[08:23] <shiester_miester> ive never updated mine :O
[08:23] <shiester_miester> lol
[08:23] <Zack> jordan_u: not that kind of command line,
[08:23] <cotyrothery> its good to

[08:23] <IndyGunFreak> Nutubuntu: lol, kinda what i was thinking
[08:23] <Brent> I'm going to try a reboot and see what is available in my Grub, and I'll come back if/when I have problems. Thanks so much for helping me so far guys
[08:23] <Jordan_U> Zack, What kind of command line?
[08:23] <Brent> and gals, if there are any,
[08:23] <shiester_miester> jd_, is it in a format that beryl can open?
[08:23] <shiester_miester> no worries, Brent

[08:24] <necro> Need some samba help when someone gets a chance.  Thanx.
[08:24] <shiester_miester> compiz-fusion is better, though
[08:24] <IndyGunFreak> cotyrothery: i'm pretty sure you update your bios in U buntu, the same way you do w/ windows, but 've not flashed my bios ever, in about 3yrs
[08:24] <TiMiDo> hey i have a question im getting this error while running dpkg-reconfigure -a dpkg: ../../src/packages.c191 process_queue assertion dependtryB <=  4 failed any errors
[08:24] <jd_> is there a apt get thing for compiz
[08:24] <DribblyLungOoze>  i am using Edgy Eft 6.10, with the default gnome ubuntu login screen. It always loads at 1280x1024 which my monitor doesn't support properly so it looks corrupted. How do I change the login screen to 1024x768????
[08:24] <Pie-rate> if i install Ubuntu on my external hard drive and move it to an entirely different system (still x86 though) will it still function properly?
[08:24] <TiMiDo> any ideas?
[08:24] <shiester_miester> Zack, well you figure out what it is from a shortcut, usually
[08:24] <Jordan_U> Zack, What is the name of the command?
[08:24] <cotyrothery> IndyGunFreak: so were and how would i do this
[08:24] <shiester_miester> jd_, yes there is, i think
[08:24] <TiMiDo> how can i fixed this problem
[08:25] <IndyGunFreak> cotyrothery: well, first and foremost, why?... its a fairly risky procedure, so if you don't need to do it, i wouldn't bother
[08:25] <jd_> how do i go about finding this then
[08:25] <Zack> jordan_u: that is what were trying to figure out, were trying to get beryl to start on startup
[08:25] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, No, but the few problems can be fixed
[08:25] <Madpilot> cotyrothery, a lot of motherboards have BIOS flashing independant of the OS - for my Asus board, you just have to dump the new bios file onto a floppy and restart the box
[08:25] <Jordan_U> Zack, beryl-manager
[08:25] <shiester_miester> jd_, ask them in #opencompositing, thats the compiz-fusion specific channel
[08:25] <Zack> kk
[08:25] <cotyrothery> Mine is a phenox
[08:25] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: can it be made portable?
[08:25] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: thats how my MSI board is also.
[08:25] <shiester_miester> as long as beryl-manager starts up on startup :P
[08:25] <jd_> thank you very much ill try that
[08:25] <Zack> thanks!
[08:25] <DribblyLungOoze> yada yada yada... ?
[08:25] <Newbie_Dude> How do I "Copy" something from the Terminal? Control-C doesn't work. :P
[08:25] <cotyrothery> http://www.phoenix.com/en/About+Phoenix/Learn+About/BIOS+Updates/Default.htm
[08:26] <IndyGunFreak> cotyrothery: that really has nothing to do with it, you need the make/model # of your motherboard.
[08:26] <TiMiDo> hey i have a question im getting this error while running dpkg-reconfigure -a dpkg: ../../src/packages.c191 process_queue assertion dependtryB <=  4 failed any ideas?
[08:26] <Nutubuntu> By the time my BIOS needed flashing I needed a new rig, the last two times :)
[08:26] <shiester_miester> blah blah blah...?
[08:26] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, Sort of, depends on what you need and how much time you are willing to spend
[08:26] <IndyGunFreak> cotyrothery: why are you wanting to updating your BIOS?
[08:26] <necro> shiester: any idea why samba would just stop working?  I've restarted it and still no go.  Haven't changed any settings.
[08:26] <Guest24362> HOLA

[08:27] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: i want to be able to take it with me, use it on arbitrary machines at school, use it at work, friend's house, etc.
[08:27] <Newbie_Dude> Anyone know how to "Copy" something from Terminal? Control-C and Control-Shift-C did something that was not copy...
[08:27] <mhz`> dallas is how many hours behind EST? 2?
[08:27] <cotyrothery> IndyGunFreak: because im not able to boot from usb without it
[08:27] <DribblyLungOoze> dribble........
[08:27] <cotyrothery> plus my bios firmeware is old
[08:27] <Zack> mhz': yes
[08:27] <Guest24362> :)
[08:27] <TiMiDo> hey i have a question im getting this error while running dpkg-reconfigure -a dpkg: ../../src/packages.c191 process_queue assertion dependtryB <=  4 failed me salio este error
[08:27] <Madpilot> cotyrothery, that page specifically says that phoenix don't actually provide bios support, or actually make motherboards -so who made your actual mobo?
[08:27] <mhz`> ok, ty
[08:27] <TiMiDo> any ideas?
[08:27] <IndyGunFreak> cotyrothery: i'm just saying, flashing the bios, if something gos wrong, can be a gigantic pain the ass to fix, so if you don't absolutely have to do it, i wouldn't.
[08:27] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: if there's a good video card available i want the restricted drivers manager to see it and get the restricted drivers for it, and be able to play games
[08:27] <Zack> Guest24362: Any questions? do you need help with anything??
[08:27] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, Easiest way to make a portable system would be use the instructions for a persistent flash drive
[08:27] <shiester_miester> cya everyone!
[08:27] <DribblyLungOoze> TiMiDo: dribbbble...... dribble.....
[08:28] <Nutubuntu> Be well, shiester_miester
[08:28] <vip3rousmango> later shiester_miester
[08:28] <IndyGunFreak> shiester_miester: take care

[08:28] <cotyrothery> IndyGunFreak: well either way i am planing on buying  a new mobo
[08:28] <DribblyLungOoze> TiMiDo: .......blblbbbb.... dribbbbbble... ?
[08:28] <IndyGunFreak> cotyrothery: well, proceed at your own risk, but my guess is, they have fairly clear instructions on their site
[08:28] <gnomefreak> ?
[08:28] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, X is getting to the point where you can do that on most machines by simply not having an xorg.conf
[08:28] <nixternal> r0b-: ?
[08:29] <TiMiDo> how do i turn my root on
[08:29] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: i know, but what other things might cause problems?
[08:29] <Zack> Anyone need help?
[08:29] <Nutubuntu> !root | TiMiDo
[08:29] <ubotu> TiMiDo: 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
[08:29] <necro> Zack: yes!
[08:29] <TiMiDo> Nutubuntu: im on terminal
[08:29] <Zack> necro: what do you need?
[08:29] <r0b-> hi nixternal
[08:29] <necro> Zack: samba just stopped working.  No changes I made.
[08:29] <vip3rousmango> TiMiDo: use sudo <command>
[08:29] <togr> TiMiDo, sudo works in terminal
[08:29] <Zack> ubotu samba
[08:29] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:30] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, The fstab might have problems though it really shouldn't matter now that Ubuntu uses UUID's ( at least / will be mounted correctly )
[08:30] <TiMiDo> togr: what if  i want to set a password for root
[08:30] <TiMiDo> how would i do it?
[08:30] <DribblyLungOoze> haha
[08:30] <togr> TiMiDo, you don't
[08:30] <SlickMcRunfast> Does anyone know whats going to be new in tribe 3 next week?
[08:30] <necro> Zack: it was working fine, then a power outage, and now, nuthin'.  I've restarted samba and still nothing.
[08:30] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, The think that I don't know how to make portable would be grub
[08:30] <togr> read what ubotu told you
[08:30] <Zack> what kind of windows environment are you trying to use? connecting to another computer on the network?
[08:30] <vip3rousmango> SlickMcRunfast: tribe 3 is out next week?!?!
[08:30] <IndyGunFreak> SlickMcRunfast: #ubuntu+1
[08:30] <SlickMcRunfast> 19th
[08:30] <necro> Zack: yes, an xp machine.
[08:30] <DribblyLungOoze> anyone been able to work out how to change login screen res yet?
[08:30] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, When creating a live flash drive you use syslinux instead
[08:31] <Newbie_Dude> What's easier to use, XChat IRC Client or XChat-GNOME IRC Chat?
[08:31] <necro> Zack: like I said, I didn't change ANYTHING.
[08:31] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: when ubuntu is installed what is actually configured for the machine that it is installed on, apart from xorg/fstab?
[08:31] <Pie-rate> TiMiDo: its possible but i wouldn't recommend it.
[08:31] <vip3rousmango> Newbie_Dude: there pretty much the same client
[08:31] <Zack> necro: ok that would be XP. your XP is booted right?
[08:31] <Madpilot> Newbie_Dude, XChat-gnome is the crippled, useless version; use XChat instead
[08:31] <IndyGunFreak> cotyrothery: did you see that warning in red letters on that site?
[08:31] <cotyrothery> the only reason for me wanting to update my bios is because in hope of being able to boot image files from my usb flash at start
[08:31] <necro> Zack: yes
[08:31] <Zack> necro: signed in? and can it get on the internet?
[08:31] <Newbie_Dude> Thanks, I'll get X-Chat.
[08:31] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: lol, not sure i'd call it crippled, but xchat is better(I actually prefer xchat-gnome's interface)
[08:31] <necro> Zack: yep
[08:31] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: well i'm going to just change the bios on the machines i'm using to boot from my external hard drive, so it'll use GRUB on the external's boot sector, right?
[08:32] <necro> Zack: I believe it's a permission problem, lemmie check..
[08:32] <Newbie_Dude> Should I pony up $15 to Linuxant to provide a Conexant dialup modem driver?
[08:32] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, grub.... /etc/networking/interfaces ( though that doesn't matter now with network manager )
[08:32] <Spaceman3750> xChat annoys me...  I use Chatzilla for FireFox
[08:32] <Zack> necro: ok so when you start/ try to start samba what happens?
[08:32] <IndyGunFreak> chatzilla?..lol, talk about annoying
[08:32] <vip3rousmango> Konversation with a custom colour scheme to make it easyer on the eyes.. works wonders
[08:32] <cotyrothery> IndyGunFreak: i know the risk
[08:32] <necro> Zack: checking....
[08:32] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, Grub will load, whether it will actually boot is another question
[08:32] <Zack> necro: ok
[08:32] <IndyGunFreak> cotyrothery: thatsn ot my point, its telling you to contact your computer or motherboard manufacturer.
[08:33] <IndyGunFreak> so thats who you need to call/who's site you need to go to.
[08:33] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: exactly, this is why i'm asking this. the addition of the restricted drivers manager and network manager and latest xorg theoretically makes a portable system possible
[08:33] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: anyway, why wouldn't it boot?
[08:33] <DribblyLungOoze> how I changen 'em screen rezzolooshun on loggin skreeeeen???
[08:33] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: is there any way i can just switch out the bootloader after installing?
[08:34] <IndyGunFreak> DribblyLungOoze: why don't you try speaking in english
[08:34] <arooni> help folks1
[08:34] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, Because while the external drive may be (hd1) on your comp it could be (hd2) on another
[08:34] <necro> Zack: it sez...."\blah\Music is not accessible.  You may not have permission blah blah.  Network access is denied."
[08:34] <Spaceman3750> Is there any way I can make it so limited users can access the Windows partition?  Right now only administrators can, and it's annoying...
[08:34] <cotyrothery> The only thing i want to really do is be able to start a iso image at boot off my psp flash
[08:34] <arooni> i get "E: Invalid record in the preferences file, no Package header'" wheneve ri try to install something
[08:34] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: ok, so how do i change the boot loader out?
[08:34] <DribblyLungOoze> IndyGunFreak: english didn't work...
[08:34] <Zack> necro: it says that on ur linux or windows?
[08:34] <vip3rousmango> cotyrothery: your trying to intall linux on ur PSP?
[08:34] <IndyGunFreak> DribblyLungOoze: well, neither will sounding like an idiot, maybe nobody here knows.
[08:34] <necro> Zack: on the xp machine when trying to connect to the samba shares.
[08:34] <cotyrothery> vip3rousmango: no
[08:35] <cotyrothery> i want to use my psp as a flash drive
[08:35] <Zack> necro: ok are you on a wireless network?
[08:35] <necro> Zack: nawp
[08:35] <vip3rousmango> cotyrothery: it is a flash drive when on USB mode..
[08:35] <DribblyLungOoze> IndyGunFreak: true, but it was fun.
[08:35] <Zack> necro: ok you checked permissions on ubuntu?
[08:35] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, That's the problem, the only way that I know of ( though I am sure it is also possible with GRUB somehow ) would be to use syslinux, which would require you to use a FAT32 partition
[08:36] <necro> Zack: samba was setup for global read access.
[08:36] <necro> Zack: which is all I want working now.
[08:36] <shanjunmin> hi
[08:36] <necro> Zack: worked fine, both machines went down, come back up, and nothin'.
[08:36] <abhi_> can anyone help me with bind9?
[08:36] <Zack> necro: can you access XP from ubuntu?
[08:36] <ArtesMagae> I am pretty new to IRC (I must live under a rock, eh?) and I am a bit confused. I used GAIM to connect to this chat. When I check the room list, this chat has the most users in it. Is this only true for chats on freenode's network?
[08:36] <cotyrothery> vip3rousmango: yes i know
[08:36] <necro> Zack: I think so, lemmie check...
[08:36] <cotyrothery> but i cant figure out how to get it to boot anything
[08:37] <necro> Zack: yep
[08:37] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, Try it though, see if it works on another comp, worst comes to worst you will have to get it to boot from the grub shell
[08:37] <Zack> necro: it actually may be your router settings.
[08:37] <Madpilot> ArtesMagae, yes - you're on Freenode's server network currently; there are lots of IRC servers out there.
[08:37] <bruenig|laptop> ArtesMagae, what do you mean, the  number of people in this room is 1023
[08:37] <Zack> I have had that problem kind of a one way street.
[08:37] <bruenig|laptop> technically channel
[08:37] <arooni> i get "E: Invalid record in the preferences file, no Package header'" wheneve ri try to install something
[08:37] <arooni> help?
[08:37] <Jordan_U> ArtesMagae, GAIM is not great for IRC, try xchat
[08:37] <necro> Zack: hmmm....cuz maybe the ip's changed?  I do use dhcp.
[08:37] <vip3rousmango> cotyrothery: thats because its only storage, there is no /boot section on the USB card
[08:38] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: brb, i'm on a live cd. switching back to installed ubuntu and trying hdd on laptop
[08:38] <necro> Zack: I thot samba was working using pc "names" tho'.
[08:38] <DribblyLungOoze> Anyone worked out how to change screen res for login yet?
[08:38] <cotyrothery> vip3rousmango: someone tooled me they were able to do it on theres
[08:38] <ArtesMagae> Madpilot: and I would have to switch to another network to view other channels, correct?
[08:38] <vip3rousmango> cotyrothery: psp boots from internal mem.. not usb card, that is just for temp ram
[08:38] <ArtesMagae> Jordan: Thanks, I will have to try it.
[08:38] <Madpilot> ArtesMagae, sure, if the couple of thousand channels Freenode hosts don't cover what you need.
[08:38] <ArtesMagae> Indy: Because they have nothing else currently. :P
[08:38] <arooni> hey folks
[08:38] <Zack> necro: i believe you should check your router for security settings and your IP, it may be set to allow only certain IPs to interact which wouldnt have anything to do with samba
[08:38] <vip3rousmango> cotyrothery: what PSP firmware are you running?
[08:38] <arooni> can someone help me get my package manager working again
[08:38] <Madpilot> ArtesMagae, most IRC clients can connect to more than one IRC server at once
[08:38] <IndyGunFreak> ArtesMagae: well, xchat is installed with a base install.
[08:39] <bruenig|laptop> IndyGunFreak, I don't believe so
[08:39] <bruenig|laptop> !info xchat
[08:39] <ubotu> xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.0-0ubuntu4 (feisty), package size 295 kB, installed size 796 kB
[08:39] <bruenig|laptop> yeah optional
[08:39] <cotyrothery> vip3rousmango: im using 3.40 OE-A
[08:39] <Madpilot> IndyGunFreak, no it isn't - not anymore. Back in the good old days, it was.
[08:39] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: you sure?.. maybe i'm thinking of Edgy,
[08:39] <bruenig|laptop> !info xchat edgy
[08:39] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: ok..
[08:39] <necro> Zack: both pc's can access the internet, and I can see the xp machine.  The router settings haven't changed either.  The only thing that may have changed are the pc's ip's, since I am using dhcp.
[08:39] <ubotu> xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.6-0ubuntu3 (edgy), package size 275 kB, installed size 760 kB
[08:39] <bruenig|laptop> optional on edgy
[08:39] <vip3rousmango> cotyrothery: hmm.. ok well that does allow homebrew.. but are u trying to run a linux kernal on the psp??
[08:39] <IndyGunFreak> hmm....
[08:39] <cotyrothery> vip3rousmango: no
[08:39] <bruenig|laptop> maybe breezy
[08:39] <ArtesMagae> Thanks for the help with that, Everyon!
[08:40] <Madpilot> IndyGunFreak, xchat hasn't been installed by default since Breezy :|
[08:40] <Zack> necro: when the computers lost power, vuwala new IP and the router had the same security permissions so it like banging your head on a brick wall... you know its there but u cant get through it!
[08:40] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: you sure?.. i could have sworn xchat-gnome was installed on Edgy by default.
[08:40] <DribblyLungOoze> IndyGunFreak: gaim is the IRC supporting IM client that comes with edgy
[08:40] <IndyGunFreak> DribblyLungOoze: i'm aware of that
[08:40] <Madpilot> IndyGunFreak, maybe, but xchat-gnome != xchat
[08:40] <cotyrothery> vip3rousmango: all i want is for my mini xp usb to start at boot off of it
[08:40] <Zack> necro: which could be why you can see your XP but cant access it.
[08:40] <bruenig|laptop> !info xchat-gnome edgy
[08:40] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: i know that, but xchat-gnome is still an IRC client, and not GAIM
[08:40] <ubotu> xchat-gnome: a new frontend to the popular X-Chat IRC client. In component main, is optional. Version 1:0.13-0ubuntu9 (edgy), package size 296 kB, installed size 780 kB
[08:40] <bruenig|laptop> xchat-gnome was optional too
[08:40] <necro> Zack: I CAN access the xp drives from ubuntu.
[08:40] <bruenig|laptop> it wasn't installed
[08:41] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, wierd.
[08:41] <vip3rousmango> cotyrothery: ok, one sec. I'm gonna browse around the PSP mod site.
[08:41] <necro> Zack: and both pc's can access the internet.
[08:41] <Taco`> can someone help me with converting .wav files?
[08:41] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig|laptop: does Kubuntu have chatzilla installed by default?
[08:41] <Madpilot> IndyGunFreak, DribblyLungOoze is right - only GAIM, which can mostly do IRC. Badly.
[08:41] <necro> Zack: I'm checking the router settings now.....
[08:41] <Zack> necro: same goes for xp not accessing ubuntu.
[08:41] <cotyrothery> vip3rousmango: which one? pspupdates , psp-hacks , ?
[08:41] <necro> Zack: so what's the solution?
[08:41] <bruenig|laptop> IndyGunFreak, that is a firefox extension?
[08:41] <IndyGunFreak> Madpilot: hmm, coudl have sworn it was default, obviously i was mistaken...
[08:41] <vip3rousmango> cotyrothery: pspmod.com
[08:41] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig|laptop: oh thats right.
[08:41] <cotyrothery> ok
[08:42] <peepsalot> anyone here tried pidgin?  is it much different from the last release of gaim?
[08:42] <Spaceman3750> laptop, that's a FireFox plugin
[08:42] <bruenig|laptop> peepsalot, not really
[08:42] <Spaceman3750> I'm using it now
[08:42] <DribblyLungOoze> I've always had to install xchat separately since dapper...
[08:42] <LogicalDash> peepsalot, not much, a few UI fixes
[08:42] <IndyGunFreak> peepsalot: its purple/grey instead of blue and yellow
[08:42] <LogicalDash> peepsalot, it has a different way of showing buddy status
[08:42] <IndyGunFreak> DribblyLungOoze: guess iv'e never paid attention when I installed it.
[08:42] <peepsalot> hmm, new skin eh.  is the skin configurable?
[08:42] <arooni> help
[08:42] <Zack> i would say check security/sharing permissions with ubuntu. and check your router.
[08:42] <Ravenndude`> How can I have my terminal run a static command every time it opens?
[08:43] <IndyGunFreak> peepsalot: not sure, i've not messed w/ trying to skin it.
[08:43] <necro> Zack: I am still a bit of a linux newb.  I forgot where my samba config file is.
[08:43] <necro> Zack: I checked the router.  No problems.
[08:43] <necro> Zack: the pc's are xx.1.66 and xx.1.101
[08:43] <doms> is their as software for ubuntu that something like a chikka
[08:44] <Newbie_Dude> Sorry to ask again but no one answered. I have a Conexant Modem and the only driver I can find (for Feisty Fawn) is from Linuxant and they want 15 DOLLARS(!)... Is there some sort of generic modem driver I can use? I'm pretty desperate as modem is my only stable form of internet.
[08:44] <peepsalot> i never could get file transfers to work in gaim, is that my wrong settings, or is the program at fault?
[08:44] <DribblyLungOoze> surely someone must know where the info is stored which tells gnome to use 1280x1024 res for login screen?
[08:44] <LogicalDash> !ndiswrapper | Newbie_Dude
[08:44] <ubotu> Newbie_Dude: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:44] <Zack> necro: well then it must be linux permissions. but im in a different timezone and its 2 here. ask IndyGunFreak for any more help. He is a big help with networking. he helped me network my printers.
[08:44] <necro> Zack: K.  Thanx.
[08:45] <Zack> Indygunfreak: could you help my friend necro here?
[08:45] <doms> something free SMS
[08:45] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: then i got lucky...lol
[08:45] <Nutubuntu> DribblyLungOoze,  http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2006/08/13/gdm-login-screen-resolution-too-big-to-fit-screen-try-this/
[08:45] <cotyrothery> vip3rousmango: any luck
[08:45] <doms> is their a free SMS software for ubuntu like Chikka
[08:45] <Ravenndude`> How can I have my terminal run a static command every time it opens?
[08:45] <doms> is their a free SMS software for ubuntu like Chikka
[08:45] <jh> oh
[08:45] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: booted fine on laptop. only way to really know is try it on a lot of different systems
[08:45] <Zack> Indygunfreak: could ya help him out for a lil while?
[08:45] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, Nice
[08:45] <Newbie_Dude> @LogicalDash: That's all WiFi, I'm using 56k modem :P
[08:45] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: getting ready to go to bed.
[08:46] <necro> IndyGunFreak: samba kinda just stopped working.  I'm a bit of a linux newb.  But just a bit.  :)  Where is my samba config file?  Trying to troubleshoot.
[08:46] <necro> doh
[08:46] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: superblock last mount time is in the future. /dev/sda1 has gone 49709 days without being checked, check forced.
[08:46] <IndyGunFreak> necro: no clue, i don't really mess with printers, I assume i was just giving Zack links, and he really figured it out.
[08:46] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, Did it use proprietary drivers by default?
[08:46] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: any way to stop it from forcing a check completely?
[08:46] <Zack> indygunfreak: who do you think knows networking well? its bedtime in my part of the hemisphere.
[08:46] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, It should only do it once
[08:46] <imbecile> gutsy id due out in october right/
[08:46] <imbecile> ?
[08:46] <IndyGunFreak> Zack: really no idea..
[08:46] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: uhh, wtf. it found errors.
[08:47] <necro> I have a feeling this is a pretty solvable problem.  :P
[08:47] <vip3rousmango> cotyrothery: try www.pspmod.com they have a lot of usefull information and tutorials. Here is for creating a boot on USB: http://www.psp411.com/show/guide/32/0/Make_your_PSP_a_Win_XP_boot_device.html
[08:47] <Zack> necro: i think it is to
[08:47] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, Hopefully it will fix them
[08:47] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: that has to have been the built in hdd, i think its bad.
[08:47] <Zack> necro: brb
[08:47] <Spaceman3750> Necro, all problems are solvable, some just require fun reformatting :P
[08:47] <necro> Zack: ok, could you atleast tell me where my samba config file is usually stored.  I remember working on it, but forgot where it is.
[08:47] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: because windows on my laptop died too
[08:47] <necro> Zack: k
[08:47] <vip3rousmango> cotyrothery: thing is tho its an 32-bit XP boot.. but should give u an idea/start about booting for PSP.. carefull that you don't brick your system though..
[08:48] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: failed to start x interface
[08:48] <astro76> necro, look under /etc (where all system configs are)
[08:48] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: i'm guessing delete the xorg.conf completely?
[08:48] <DribblyLungOoze> man the internet sucks. who's stupid idea was it anyway. I mean look at it - there aren't even any seats. where are we supposed to sit down?
[08:48] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, Yes
[08:48] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, I thought you already did that
[08:48] <cotyrothery> vip3rousmango: i cant get to the site it links to
[08:48] <vip3rousmango> cotyrothery: that is down temporaily.. =\ google boot off of PSP USB
[08:49] <Nutubuntu> Night all
[08:49] <Spaceman3750> Anyone know how to make limited users able to access the Windows partition?
[08:49] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: well, it might be ugly fixing it once in a while, but i'm confident i can fix it for any computer.
[08:49] <SpiderDan> hello.  I would like to connect to a (recently reinstalled) feisty machine remotely... previously, I was able to setup and connect via VNC, but the problem with that is that I apparently have to be logged in to start that service
[08:49] <necro> astro76: thanx.  ->  /etc/samba/smb.conf
[08:50] <DribblyLungOoze> i better leave now before anyone actually finds an answer to my question and ruins the fabric of space/time.
[08:50] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, Does it start correctly without an xorg.conf?
[08:50] <Spaceman3750> Probably Dribbly :P
[08:50] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: yep
[08:50] <Zack> necro: this page seems to be showing the same question you are asking about what xp is saying. an im sorry i dont know where the config file is. try the search. and heres the page.  http://www.samba.netfirms.com/faq.htm
[08:50] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: came right up with restricted wifi drivers in use
[08:50] <cotyrothery> vip3rousmango: i cant find a site that has a tut
[08:50] <doms> is their a free SMS software for ubuntu like Chikka
[08:50] <doms> is their a free SMS software for ubuntu like Chikka
[08:50] <Spaceman3750> How many different conversations would you say go on at any one time in here?
[08:51] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: connected with wifi immediately
[08:51] <necro> Zack: thanx so much.  Found the config file.  I will check that web page.  You can crash.  I'll see what I can do.  Thanx again for all your help.
[08:51] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: <3 feisty
[08:51] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, If you want to be tricky and be able to use legacy and current drivers for nvidia ( they can't both be installed since they conflict ) you could apt-get -d them so they are there ( no need to grab from the internet if not available ) but not actually installed.
[08:51] <Zack> necro: i am drooling on my keyboard, come back tomorrow around 3 that seemes to be when people get the most help. your welcome! ima go pass out now.
[08:51] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, Also install bcm43xx-fwcutter and you will be able to use many broadcom cards
[08:51] <necro> Zack: thanx again.  g'nite.
[08:51] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: i don't plan to use it on random laptops.
[08:51] <skiver> hi all
[08:52] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, Why not ?:)
[08:52] <SpiderDan> this machine is not going to have keyb/mouse/video connected, and I need a way to be able to remotely log in to x/gnome
[08:52] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: but, if a good gaming PC comes into Computers Plus for spyware removal, i'm definitely going to stick it on there and play WoW.
[08:52] <Jordan_U> SpiderDan, ssh -X then "gnome-session"
[08:53] <Pie-rate> :)
[08:53] <SpiderDan> is ssh a default service, or do I need to enable it?
[08:53] <SpiderDan> this is a fresh install of feisty
[08:53] <arooni> folks i am trying to get the new intel video card working via   http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.04_%28Feisty_Fawn%29_on_a_ThinkPad_T61
[08:53] <astro76> SpiderDan, install openssh-server
[08:53] <Jordan_U> SpiderDan, That can be a little confusing if you are already using Gnome at the time though
[08:53] <arooni> but i can't get the new video driver installed
[08:54] <Jordan_U> SpiderDan, No, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[08:54] <ramseize> can anyone give me the right directions on how to setup a wireless adhoc connection? :(
[08:54] <astro76> that was an English instruction not a command ;)
[08:54] <Jordan_U> arooni, They should "just work" on an intel card, the only problem you should have if any would be resolution
[08:54] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: i'm probably going to have them check the hard drive in my laptop. i'm pretty sure its dead.
[08:55] <SpiderDan> ok.  so after I install that, if I were to plug the machine into the network and ssh in
[08:55] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: hope its under warranty and installing ubuntu didn't void it.
[08:55] <SpiderDan> and I start gnome
[08:55] <Spaceman3750> Pie-rate, if it was dead, it should be fairly obvious...  Boot without the live CD and it should ask for a boot drive...
[08:55] <arooni> Jordan_U: its the vesa driver :( no 3d support........ plust i cant get the 1440x960 resolution i know that the  lcd supportsw
[08:55] <SpiderDan> do I then connect through VNC, or what?
[08:55] <Pie-rate> Spaceman3750: not dead, just bad.
[08:55] <SpiderDan> it's my understanding that X will not display correctly through SSH
[08:55] <Pie-rate> Spaceman3750: not dead YET
[08:55] <Ravenndude`> How can I have my terminal run a certain command every time it opens?
[08:56] <alienseer23> sudo mount '/home/alienseer23/Desktop/gnomebaker.iso' /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop    should mount an iso as a dvd, right? this gives me a folder, what am I doing wrong?
[08:56] <n8of9> Ravenndude`: put the command in your ~/.bashrc
[08:56] <varun00> when I use mplayer and use the "-ac hwac3
[08:56] <varun00> "flag, I get no sound
[08:56] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, No company will void your warranty for installing Linux, some techs who don't know what it is might say that it does because they think you flashed your BIOS or something but just ask for a manager if they do
[08:56] <varun00> but when I use it without the flag, the sound plays fine
[08:56] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: yeah, i know.
[08:56] <Ravenndude`> n8of9, Just put the command at the bottom?
[08:57] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: if it did i'd vote against them with my wallet.
[08:57] <n8of9> Ravenndude`: that should work in most cases
[08:57] <astro76> alienseer23,  mount [-fnrsvw]  [-t vfstype]  [-o options]  device dir
[08:57] <Ravenndude`> Thank you
[08:57] <n8of9> Ravenndude`: no prob :)
[08:57] <netyire> !chuck
[08:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about chuck - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:58] <arooni> help?
[08:58] <netyire> having problems mounting a usb disk
[08:58] <Jordan_U> Pie-rate, An apple tech tried to pull that on me, said that any other OS voided the warranty, the next day Boot Camp was released and he was eating his words :)
[08:58] <Pie-rate> Jordan_U: rofl
[08:59] <ToastGuy> Hey there guys
[08:59] <ToastGuy> I'm a newbie to Ubuntu
[08:59] <ToastGuy> I'm trying to get it installed.
[08:59] <alienseer23> astro76: sudu mount /MY/File.iso -t iso9660 -o loop /dev/dvd/ ???
[08:59] <ToastGuy> Do you need to install it on a freshly partitioned drive?
[09:00] <arooni> can someone tell me whats wrong with this preferences file in /etc/apt/preferences:  http://pastie.caboo.se/78516
[09:00] <arooni> ?
[09:00] <cntrlx> you can dual boot
[09:00] <Timon> How do I get Shockwave Player? I'm running Feisty on Gnome.
[09:00] <arooni> i get the error "E: Invalid record in preferences file, no Package header"
[09:00] <ToastGuy> Ya, but I keep getting error. And everyone points me to using GRUB, but I don't know what that means
[09:00] <bruenig|laptop> Timon, you don't
[09:00] <ToastGuy> I only have 1 hard drive
[09:00] <mister_e_au> Timon: do you mean flash, or shockwave?
[09:01] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , do you have windows too ?
[09:01] <Timon> Shockwave..
[09:01] <ToastGuy> ya XP
[09:01] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , that's why they tell you about Grub
[09:01] <holycow> there is no shockwave for linux
[09:01] <holycow> however
[09:01] <Madpilot> Timon, there is no Shockwave For Linux. Complain to Adobe.
[09:01] <mister_e_au> ok, i don't think macromedia/adobe have released a plugin that works on linux
[09:01] <cntrlx> dual boot seperate partitions
[09:01] <holycow> there is no shockwave for windows either
[09:01] <holycow> that has been killed long ago
[09:01] <ToastGuy> right... I need to make another partition right?
[09:01] <astro76> alienseer23, you went from bad to worse :P   sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>
[09:01] <holycow> you can download it but there is going to be no more shocwave dev of any kind
[09:01] <[11_Touche] > it's a bootloader, which means an application that chooses which system you want to boot when you start your computer
[09:02] <Timon> I can't even play Habbo anymore..
[09:02] <ToastGuy> but... I try running the LIVE ubunto, with no success
[09:02] <cntrlx> haha habbo
[09:02] <alienseer23> astro76, I don't need -t iso9660?
[09:02] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , absolutely. 2 systems cannot live on the same partition.. as you can't have Win98 + XP on the same partition
[09:02] <holycow> Timon, :/ sorry bro
[09:02] <astro76> alienseer23, so mount -o loop ~/Desktop/gnomebaker.iso /media/iso
[09:02] <Timon> i guess i'll have to dual-boot xp
[09:02] <ToastGuy> that makes sense.... okay
[09:02] <astro76> alienseer23, I don't think so
[09:02] <holycow> Timon, *nod*
[09:02] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , you can't even start the liveCD ?
[09:03] <ToastGuy> No I got the Live CD working
[09:03] <ToastGuy> i'm okay there
[09:03] <[11_Touche] > ok, then ?
[09:03] <Timon> ok then.. i'mma install xp bye
[09:03] <[11_Touche] > poor timon... lol
[09:03] <arooni> can someone tell me whats wrong with this preferences file in /etc/apt/preferences:  http://pastie.caboo.se/78516
[09:03] <arooni> i get the error "E: Invalid record in preferences file, no Package header"
[09:03] <cntrlx> flash components make my computer restart
[09:03] <ToastGuy> I'm just stuck with the Partitioning, I only have 1 Hard drive on this computer
[09:03] <ToastGuy> So it's hard to wipe things
[09:03] <alienseer23> still a directory
[09:03] <cntrlx> make another seperate partition
[09:03] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , that's okay.. but do your windows partition take all the place on that disk ?
[09:04] <cntrlx> and one for swap space
[09:04] <[11_Touche] > cntrlx is right
[09:04] <ToastGuy> I don't have a partition yet
[09:04] <cntrlx> but start from a fresh blank disk
[09:04] <ToastGuy> ya that's what I'm thinking
[09:04] <cntrlx> hd
[09:04] <cntrlx> i mean
[09:04] <ToastGuy> YA wipe everything...
[09:04] <alienseer23> astro76, still shows up as a directory, not a device
[09:04] <ToastGuy> I got a backup disk
[09:05] <cntrlx> thats what i do
[09:05] <ToastGuy> I don't even mind making this a completely Linux machine
[09:05] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , if you plan to use BOTH windows AND ubuntu... you should install Windows first.
[09:05] <astro76> alienseer23, it will be a directory, does ls /media/iso show files in the .iso ?
[09:05] <Haulin> or use vmware
[09:05] <cntrlx> i have debian and ubuntu
[09:05] <ToastGuy> right, but How do I get a partition?
[09:05] <kraut> moin
[09:05] <ToastGuy> When I first install Windows?
[09:05] <lion> who am i
[09:05] <Haulin> download gparted and burn to a disk
[09:05] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy ,, ok !! right choice ;) ubuntu is soooo better than windows.
[09:05] <ToastGuy> ya
[09:05] <[11_Touche] > hehe
[09:06] <ToastGuy> How do I wipe the machine?
[09:06] <cntrlx> partition your drive first
[09:06] <Haulin> anyways...how do I install a .tar.gz file?
[09:06] <astro76> ToastGuy, gparted is on the ubuntu livecd, do you have a windows install you want to keep?
[09:06] <cntrlx> with a partitioner
[09:06] <ToastGuy> I have other windows machines
[09:06] <lion> tar zxvf .tar.gz
[09:06] <Haulin> package sorry
[09:06] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , when you start the Ubuntu installation, you can tell him to take all the place on the disk
[09:06] <alienseer23> astro76, yeah, this is no problem, I can mount as a directory all day, I am, trying to get a dvd image .iso to mount as a dvd
[09:06] <ramseize> can anyone help me how to setup a wireless adhoc connection?
[09:06] <ToastGuy> ya I do want to keep it
[09:06] <lion> using iwconfig
[09:06] <Haulin> thanks lion
[09:06] <ToastGuy> but it's not important right now for this machine
[09:06] <lion> iwconfig
[09:07] <lion> to see if your wlan is found and driven
[09:07] <necro> Anyone have any idea how a power-outage would rename my drive mount points?!@
[09:07] <ToastGuy> There's no option to take over the disk
[09:07] <alienseer23> astro76, it is theonly way I know of to be able to shrink it down to dvd5 and burn
[09:07] <phoenixz> Anybody who could help me with sound problems in kubuntu? The problem being.. eh.. that there is none, its quiet..
[09:07] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , ok.. so if you plan to install windows AFTER ubuntu, you might have big problems
[09:07] <puff> Evening, at some point I remember coming across a personal search engine package for your machine.
[09:07] <astro76> alienseer23, that's how mount works, whether a device or iso, they are mounted to directories
[09:07] <lion> and iwconfig eth1 mode ad-hoc
[09:07] <alienseer23> damn
[09:07] <puff> Anyone know what this is called?  Beagle is one, but not the one I was thinking of.
[09:07] <ToastGuy> Can't I just Wipe the drive clean again?
[09:07] <lion> eth1 is your wlan0 card
[09:07] <ramseize> lion
[09:07] <Newbie_Dude> Does anyone know where I can get new mouse pointers for Ubuntu? I find the default ones to be not to my liking.
[09:07] <bruenig|laptop> lion, that sentence is boggling
[09:07] <alienseer23> astro76, you know of any way to get it to mount as a dvd?
[09:07] <ToastGuy> Or will ubuntu make it hard to wipe things clean?
[09:07] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , yes you can, but only if you want ONLY ubuntu on this machine
[09:08] <Jordan_U> holycow, ?
[09:08] <cntrlx> mine is ra0
[09:08] <Haulin_Coal> puff: use google desktop
[09:08] <bruenig|laptop> Newbie_Dude, gnome-look.org
[09:08] <necro> astro76: fixed it.  My power-outage SOMEHOW renamed my drive mount points.  Edited my smb.conf and bingo, back in business.  Wierd 'eh?
[09:08] <ToastGuy> Can I ever go back to XP?
[09:08] <bruenig|laptop> puff, use find locate which and whereis
[09:08] <ToastGuy> I don't mind reinstalling things again
[09:08] <holycow> ToastGuy, you can go back any time you want
[09:08] <ToastGuy> I want this more as a test for now....
[09:08] <holycow> no problem
[09:08] <ToastGuy> kewl
[09:08] <puff> bruenig|laptop: Ah, I think it was slocate.
[09:08] <ToastGuy> then no problem.... How do I wipe the drive?
[09:08] <netyire> Looking for help with mounting a usb device (works 1st time, umount it and put it back 5 mins later and dmesg displays plenty of errors)
[09:08] <ToastGuy> I want a clean install on this hard drive
[09:08] <holycow> reinstalling win is easy, and in microsoft fashion they won't even recognize ubuntu was ever there, it will just go on as normal
[09:09] <ToastGuy> kewl
[09:09] <ToastGuy> right
[09:09] <holycow> ToastGuy, for ubuntu or win?
[09:09] <astro76> necro, that's odd
[09:09] <ramseize> lion how can i config it
[09:09] <Newbie_Dude> @ToastGuy: I did the same thing. Put the Live CD in the CD drive, load it, then hit "Install" on the desktop, do "Full Disk" partitioning.
[09:09] <ToastGuy> I don't have Ubuntu yet.
[09:09] <astro76> alienseer23, don't know, sorry
[09:09] <holycow> oh what Newbie_Dude said
[09:09] <alienseer23> ok, thank you :)
[09:09] <cntrlx> use fdisk for first yoru windows partition. and limit its space on partition
[09:09] <necro> astro76: wierd 'eh?
[09:09] <ToastGuy> YA... but I get some errors
[09:09] <puff> Hm, odd, I see beagled in my ps output, but I couldn't find it in the menus.  Where does it normally live?
[09:09] <lion> to config as ad-hoc mode, right?
[09:09] <cntrlx> leave space for your linux partitions
[09:09] <ramseize> lion how can i config my wireless lan tobe an adhoc
[09:09] <cntrlx> install windows to it
[09:09] <Sonicadvance1> Is it possible to get a keyboard shortcut to run any program you choose?
[09:09] <ToastGuy> when i hit Start or Install Ubuntu I get errors
[09:09] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , Newbie_Dude is right, that's all you need to do. Ubuntu for now will take all the place.. and you will never mind going back to windows anyways...
[09:10] <[11_Touche] > lol
[09:10] <puff> Ah, Applicaitons/Accessories/Search.
[09:10] <cntrlx> then use the other space to partition ext3 and a swap partition
[09:10] <lion> I think the network-manager could do it for you if you dislike configuring it in command line.:)
[09:10] <ramseize> how
[09:10] <lion> First please left-click the network-manager tray-icon
[09:10] <ToastGuy> errrr....
[09:10] <ramseize> what should i do first lion
[09:10] <Newbie_Dude> @ToastGuy: That's not good. :P So you couldn't even install? What kind of errors?
[09:10] <ramseize> thenn
[09:10] <ToastGuy> 1 sec
[09:11] <lion> Can you see "wireless information"?
[09:11] <bruenig|laptop> network manager is an applet
[09:11] <ramseize> no
[09:11] <lion> emmm...go to terminal
[09:11] <ramseize> ok
[09:11] <ramseize> thenn'
[09:11] <lion> iwconfig
[09:11] <ramseize> yep done
[09:11] <Newbie_Dude> Anyone know where I can get free Conexant modem drivers? I can't afford the $15 per kernel from Linuxant, I've already wiped Windows from my computer, and 56k modem is my main source of internet.
[09:11] <ToastGuy> it says: can't access tty: job control off
[09:11] <cntrlx> route check if it is up
[09:11] <lion> see any wireless found?
[09:11] <ramseize> no
[09:11] <ToastGuy> then it gives me some error codes
[09:11] <[11_Touche] > ???
[09:12] <ramseize> it saiz no wireless connection
[09:12] <puff> Is there any way with slocate/beagle to search inside a file?
[09:12] <ToastGuy> action 0x2 frozen
[09:12] <lion> Then your wireless card has not been driven properly?
[09:12] <ramseize> ok
[09:12] <ToastGuy> port failed to respond
[09:12] <bruenig|laptop> puff, use grep
[09:12] <puff> I'm basically looking for a faster version of find ./ | xargs fgrep somestring
[09:12] <lion> Laptop?
[09:12] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , whew... sounds bad..

[09:12] <ToastGuy> the 7.04
[09:12] <ramseize> yes
[09:12] <Newbie_Dude> @ToastGuy: There's like an AMD64 version, an i386 version,
[09:13] <ramseize> thenn
[09:13] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , did you burn it yourself?
[09:13] <lion> Could find your wireless card brand?
[09:13] <Newbie_Dude> @ToastGuy: When the Live CD is put in there should be an option like "Check CD For Errors"
[09:13] <ramseize> w8 lion ill check it out
[09:13] <ToastGuy> I tried that.... same kind of error for me
[09:13] <cntrlx> get your router driver brad
[09:13] <ToastGuy> I got some forums that talked about this error....
[09:13] <lion> ?
[09:13] <ToastGuy> every single time this came back to  GRUB
[09:14] <Sonicadvance1> using xbindkey, can it take multiple keys to initiate a command?
[09:14] <lion> w8?
[09:14] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , maybe you don't have the good architecture, as said by Newbie_Dude
[09:14] <tigrfire> Alright, a bit of a noob question that I wouldn't normally ask. I formatted a 500GB drive today and it said afterwards 1KiB was being used. Normal, so I just formatted an 80GB and now it says 66.77MiB are in use. What the heck? Used gparted for both. Also rm -rf inside the mounted 80GB. Suggestions?
[09:14] <h4lfl1ng> sup guys

[09:15] <Newbie_Dude> @astro76: Bummer, this poses a major problem for me and switching to Ubuntu. Hmm, 15 bucks to Linuxant or the same price for a new modem. :P

[09:17] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , is your processor 64bits ?
[09:17] <ToastGuy> hahaha
[09:17] <ToastGuy> I don't know
[09:17] <Newbie_Dude> @kr00lplatinum: I'm just a noob but I am gonna try to answer. Are these pictures from an old Windows hard disk?
[09:17] <h4lfl1ng> any audio experts? sound wont work, and card and drivers are looking good
[09:17] <ToastGuy> will windows tell me that or BIOS?
[09:17] <ramseize> lion thenn
[09:17] <arooni> why doesnt this work:
[09:17] <lion> dmesg

[09:17] <lion> dmesg
[09:17] <lion> type dmesg
[09:17] <ramseize> ok
[09:17] <tigrfire> Right, but why the huge difference for the two drives?
[09:17] <ramseize> ok thenn
[09:17] <kr00lplatinum> Newbie_Dude did you get that?
[09:17] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , hit Winkey+Pause/break on your keyboard, and check your computers propreties
[09:18] <lion> iwconfig

[09:18] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , the windows key
[09:19] <tigrfire> I've written a couple hundred GBs to that drive without any problem since its formatting.
[09:19] <ToastGuy> ah....
[09:19] <ramseize> lion ,w8 ill check it
[09:19] <Newbie_Dude> i didn't see anything man, lol

[09:19] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , are you on the liveCD right now ?
[09:19] <ramseize> lion, what should i look for the etho or etho1
[09:20] <Newbie_Dude> @kr00lplatinum: I tried to drag files from an old WIndows-formatted hard drive to my new Ubuntu partitions and it didn't work. Turns out I have to use some program called umm... Gah, what's it called, to deal with partitions. :P
[09:20] <h4lfl1ng> i have a gateway 4535
[09:20] <lion> does iwconfig report any wireless card found?
[09:20] <ToastGuy> no I'm in Windows Now
[09:20] <ramseize> nope
[09:20] <lion> http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/
[09:20] <ToastGuy> lol... do I need to be in Live CD?
[09:20] <n8of9> *yawn* later, all.
[09:20] <lion> goto this site
[09:20] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , no!! in windows
[09:20] <ramseize> ok
[09:20] <interfear> what does it mean to install ubuntu and use LVM during the partition portion of the install?
[09:20] <ramseize> whats the site?
[09:20] <ToastGuy> ya I'm in windows
[09:20] <ToastGuy> Ya
[09:20] <vip3rousmang0> anyone know a program similar to Sony's SoundForge 7? Or know if SF7 can run in wine?
[09:20] <tigrfire> Hmm, now that I review the drive though, I've copied just slightly less to it than what's being used by it [the 500GB] . It definitely said 1KiB free after formatting but perhaps after I rebooted or refreshed gparted, this changed..
[09:20] <ToastGuy> I follow
[09:20] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , so the key combination did pull out a properties window ?
[09:21] <ToastGuy> ya
[09:21] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , ok so, for you processor, what is wrote?
[09:21] <ramseize> ok lion illl check it out

[09:21] <tigrfire> ToastGuy, It will be the first entry under the Computer: section
[09:21] <kr00lplatinum> Newbie_Dude i'm trying to get a pic i dl to go into beryl
[09:22] <ToastGuy> It say 256 RAM, 1.79 GHz, Pentium 4 CPU 1.80 GHz,
[09:22] <[11_Touche] > ok so you should have the right CD ... kinda weird
[09:22] <tigrfire> ToastGuy, with the same window open, can you go to the hardware tab, then click Device Manager
[09:22] <CodeMagic> I need a howto for making knetworkmanager to auto connect to my wifi network via wap connections. Anyone?
[09:22] <tigrfire> Although I don't think there
[09:22] <doms> is their chikka for linuxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[09:22] <tigrfire> is a 64-bit 1.80 P4..
[09:23] <ToastGuy> ok
[09:23] <ToastGuy> checking
[09:23] <tigrfire> In that window, expand the processors section
[09:23] <ToastGuy> ok
[09:23] <happyface> Sound isn't working in wine... Is there a way to set wine's default sound card?
[09:23] <tigrfire> Any more specific there?
[09:23] <doms> is their chikka for linuxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[09:23] <Flannel> !repeat | doms
[09:23] <ubotu> doms: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[09:23] <ToastGuy> what next?
[09:23] <astro76> doms, first result in google http://www.chikka.com/java.html
[09:23] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , what's there?
[09:24] <ToastGuy> I'm in the device manager
[09:24] <Newbie_Dude1> OK, I finally downloaded "Konversation," anyone know how to gag the "left the channel" "enters the room" messages?
[09:24] <Flannel> doms: chikka is apparently interoperable with Google Talk.
[09:24] <tigrfire> In that window, expand the processors section
[09:24] <Rat409> tigrfire: winecfg iirc
[09:24] <ToastGuy> list of everything
[09:24] <tigrfire> Rat409, ?
[09:24] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , ok then click on the processor section
[09:24] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , and tell me what's in there
[09:24] <Rat409> open gnome-terminal type winecfg
[09:24] <ToastGuy> Says Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80
[09:25] <[11_Touche] > No 64 mentionned?
[09:25] <ToastGuy> nah
[09:25] <tigrfire> [11_Touche] , There's not a 64-bit 1.80 GHz P4, I'm almost certain.
[09:25] <ToastGuy> nah
[09:25] <[11_Touche] > tigrfire , I would agree with you.. but it wasn't a worth to check out to be sure
[09:25] <happyface> Sound isn't working in wine... Is there a way to set wine's default sound card?
[09:26] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , well, you have a hell of a problem here
[09:26] <ToastGuy> lol
[09:26] <ToastGuy> You think?
[09:26] <banlieue> wb banlieue
[09:26] <ToastGuy> I should just try the other install
[09:26] <astro76> happyface, run winecfg and set it to alsa
[09:26] <astro76> happyface, in the audio tab
[09:26] <Rat409> happyface: open gnome-terminal type winecfg
[09:26] <happyface> astro76: but Steam games wont run in alsa
[09:26] <tigrfire> [11_Touche] , Plus, probably, any 64 bit chip would be more explanative in the System Properties window, now that I think of it.
[09:27] <meglo> wine -x setarch i386
[09:27] <meglo> errr
[09:27] <varun00> anyone know where I can download mplayer-custom from?
[09:27] <Newbie_Dude1> Anyone familiar with Konversation (The IRC client)?
[09:27] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , if you have an original CD, and it isn't working with your system... your kinda.. fisted ;)
[09:27] <varun00> or what I have to add to my sources.list?
[09:27] <ToastGuy> nah..
[09:27] <ToastGuy> it's what I downloaded from Ubuntu.com
[09:27] <Newbie_Dude1> @ToastGuy: Did you download the AMD64 version or the i386 version?
[09:28] <[11_Touche] > Okay... well, you should try to burn it back again..
[09:28] <ToastGuy> 
[09:28] <ToastGuy> Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM) 64bit AMD and Intel computers Sun UltraSPARC based
[09:28] <ToastGuy> oops
[09:28] <ToastGuy> Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)
[09:28] <[11_Touche] > and get sure that it's really an i386 version
[09:28] <astro76> varun00, what is mplayer-custom?
[09:29] <[11_Touche] > Maybe it's only an burning bug..
[09:29] <Newbie_Dude1> I love Ubuntu but this modem driver thing makes me so frustrated. >_<
[09:29] <ToastGuy> hahaha... I don;t know
[09:29] <ToastGuy> I should try this again
[09:29] <[11_Touche] > well when it says x86, it should work on yours
[09:29] <varun00> astro76: supposed to be a precompiled version of mplayer, with support for a lot of other codecs
[09:29] <ToastGuy> I downloaded the x86
[09:30] <ToastGuy> why not the 64?
[09:30] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , that's what I would do... I had a similar problem with an installation CD for mandriva 2007
[09:30] <ToastGuy> What about Ubuntu 6.06 LTS?
[09:30] <Newbie_Dude1> Anyone ever had a problem with getting no sound out of onboard ASUS motherboard? Worked fine in windows, it's not my volume sliders.
[09:30] <CodeMagic> Newbie_Dude1, what KIND of sound card?
[09:30] <Newbie_Dude1> @ToastGuy: The 64 is for AMD processors (You have Intel, not AMD)
[09:30] <doms> Flannel: can i download google talk to ubuntu
[09:30] <Rat409> ToastGuy: coulda been a corrupt download or a bad burn also
[09:30] <ToastGuy> okay
[09:30] <Flannel> ToastGuy: Get the alternate CD, it's more robust
[09:30] <[11_Touche] > but.. I couldn't even get it to run... because it wasn't the LiveCD.. and the installation was crashing every since I tried to boot it
[09:30] <ToastGuy> it's a little older
[09:31] <Newbie_Dude1> @CodeMagic: Errr, onboard ASUS... Used to use a program suite called "CMEDIA" on Windows.
[09:31] <ToastGuy> ??
[09:31] <ToastGuy> What about wiping my computer clean?
[09:31] <ToastGuy> What will happen on install?
[09:31] <ToastGuy> possibily?
[09:31] <CodeMagic> Newbie_Dude1, from terminal window type: sudo lspci  and tell me what if any, it says for sound card
[09:31] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , maybe the same problem..
[09:31] <Rat409> ToastGuy: best to use a checksum, meaning md5sum tool,theres free ones for windows
[09:31] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , or maybe success...
[09:32] <[11_Touche] > lol
[09:32] <ToastGuy> but the problem I'm getting has nothing to do with my current OS?
[09:32] <Flannel> doms: google talk uses jabber, and there are a plethora of jabber clients for linux.  So, while you won't have actual google talk, You can still talk with them without a hitch
[09:32] <ToastGuy> The install should help me determine where I want it?
[09:32] <Rat409> ToastGuy: you can't run it from within windows,put it in try and reboot
[09:32] <ToastGuy> ie, partition
[09:32] <ToastGuy> Nah, I haven't done htat
[09:33] <Newbie_Dude1> CodeMagic: It doesn't say anything about sound. It says about memory controllers, NVidia PCIE bridges, ethernet controller, AMD64 processor, nothing about sound.
[09:33] <ToastGuy> Ya, I've done all that
[09:33] <ToastGuy> I'm just getting a nasty error
[09:33] <doms> Flannel: is jabber has a room list like gaim
[09:33] <[11_Touche] > ToastGuy , I tried a fresh install, and an install over XP, and an install BESIDE XP, and never got any problems... AND Ubuntu searches for your DocumentsAndSettings folder, and proposes you to import it in your home directory on Ubuntu.. really great thing
[09:33] <Newbie_Dude1> @ToastGuy: Dude just download the program and try to burn it again. :P When you restart do a "Check CD Integrity"
[09:33] <astro76> Flannel, Gaim does Jabber
[09:33] <astro76> Gaim does everything
[09:33] <Flannel> doms: Jabber is a protocol.  GAIM does jabber, like astro76 just said.  And so do many other things.

[09:35] <ToastGuy> hahaha
[09:35] <[11_Touche] > thanx.
[09:35] <Newbie_Dude1> @CodeMagic: Typed that (lspci | grep Audio) and nothing showed up. :O
[09:36] <astro76> Newbie_Dude1, grep audio
[09:36] <ToastGuy> I'll be around here, again.. hopefull I'll run into you.... I'm usually ToastGuy, ToastMaster or something to do with Toast
[09:36] <Newbie_Dude1> @CodeMagic: Could it be because I turned off Plug-N-Play devices in my BIOS? My botched modem driver installation told me to do that.
[09:36] <ToastGuy> http://www.toastrecipes.com
[09:36] <[11_Touche] > Well I have a question for my own here... How to kill AutoIgnore on flood in BitchX ???
[09:36] <ToastGuy> that's my deal
[09:36] <ToastGuy> later guys....
[09:36] <astro76> Newbie_Dude1, lowercase a
[09:37] <Newbie_Dude1> @astro76: Wow, still nothing, it just gives me another terminal prompt.
[09:37] <ToastGuy> Thanks Touche & Newbie_Dude, and everyone else that chimed in.
[09:37] <astro76> Newbie_Dude1, or grep -i
[09:37] <CodeMagic> Newbie_Dude1, It should say something like: 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)
[09:37] <astro76> sometimes it's like Multimedia audio controller
[09:38] <sx66> how do you get the wifi icon in xfce ubuntu (xubuntu)?
[09:38] <Newbie_Dude1> I did lspci | grep audio, lspci | grep Audio, lspci | grep -i Audio, lspci | grep -i audio, and nothing shows up. Maybe it's not recognizing it or somethin somethin. :P
[09:38] <Tanman> was just wondering...
[09:38] <Tanman> i uninistalled Vsftpd
[09:38] <CodeMagic> I'm guessing its probably Yamaha AC97 or something like that. Thats what my old asus board had on it.
[09:38] <Tanman> and then removed the conf manually...
[09:38] <astro76> Newbie_Dude1, fyi grep -i makes it case insensitive
[09:38] <Flannel> Tanman: why didn't you just purge it?
[09:39] <Tanman> *shrugs*
[09:39] <CodeMagic> <-- makes note of the -i switch
[09:39] <Tanman> not sure
[09:39] <knoppix> Does anyone know why Xorg would stop working after updateing 5.10 in synaptic?
[09:39] <Tanman> can i still purge it now?
[09:39] <Newbie_Dude1> @astro76: Hope I can remember that :) ... Also, in my volume meter in devices it says "PnP Audio Device," but in my BIOS PnP is turned off. Should I turn it on in BIOS?
[09:39] <Tanman> how does the syntax go?
[09:40] <astro76> Newbie_Dude1, CodeMagic checking the man pages before you run commands is a good habit to get into
[09:40] <Flannel> Tanman: apt-get remove --purge package, or via synaptic "complete removal"
[09:41] <knoppix> anyone at all?
[09:41] <foyle_> Guys I'am new (as in very new)in Ubuntu. I have a problem and I hope someone could help me
[09:41] <Flannel> knoppix: 5.10 isn't supported anymore, you're encouraged to upgrade to 6.06 (which has the benefit of being LTS).  Being no longer maintained might be the reason for it, although that seems far fetched
[09:41] <Flannel> !ask | foyle_
[09:41] <ubotu> foyle_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:41] <Newbie_Dude1> @astro76: Oh, you mean googling first? :P Guess I can try that.
[09:42] <foyle_> how can I share my  printer to xp users
[09:42] <astro76> Newbie_Dude1, no no, just type man command in the terminal
[09:42] <knoppix> Flannel How can just simply updating my packs ruin xorg becuase 5.10 isntsupported when it wouldnt install any packs not 5.10 compatible tho
[09:42] <bruenig|laptop> I prefer command --help
[09:42] <Tanman> Flannel: thanks a million!
[09:42] <astro76> sometimes there's --help and no man
[09:42] <Flannel> knoppix: well, it did install compatable packages, it installed the last 5.10 ones, which should work (but of course, may have bugs)
[09:43] <Tanman> now i gotta get back to this uploading issue *grins*
[09:43] <heatxsink> hi all, I'm on a windows box, and I have a samba share on a linux box, I was wondering if it's possible to not show the "Printers and Faxes" node under the samba share, or is that something inhereit to windows?
[09:43] <Newbie_Dude1> How do I access something as root, I wanna type "hsfconfig --country" but it keeps saying access denied.
[09:43] <knoppix> Flannel how would i Fix xorg
[09:43] <bruenig|laptop> !sudo | Newbie_Dude1
[09:43] <ubotu> Newbie_Dude1: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:43] <Flannel> knoppix: Well, you could pin it back down to your last known working version.
[09:43] <Flannel> !pinning | knoppix
[09:43] <ubotu> knoppix: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[09:44] <foyle_> how can I share my  printer to xp users? can anyone help me on this. thanx
[09:44] <bruenig|laptop> !repeat | foyle_
[09:44] <ubotu> foyle_: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[09:44] <knoppix> Flannel i updated 610 packs
[09:44] <Flannel> foyle_: You'd be using samba, if it's doable (I have no experience with it)
[09:44] <Flannel> knoppix: Right, you'd only have to pin your xserver.
[09:45] <astro76> foyle, go to System->Administration->Printing
[09:45] <foyle_> sorry, I told you Im just new here. dont kdow the rules yet. anyways thanx
[09:45] <astro76> foyle, Global Settings -> Share Printers
[09:45] <Flannel> knoppix: but, I highly recommend upgrading to 6.06
[09:45] <knoppix> Flannel i just wanna get Xorg working
[09:45] <Newbie_Dude1> @bruenig|laptop: Thank you, I will have to remember "sudo"
[09:46] <astro76> foyle, on windows you'll connect the printer with IPP I believe on port 631
[09:46] <Newbie_Dude1> Anyone familiar with the IRC program "Konversation?"
[09:46] <astro76> foyle, Internet Printing Protocol
[09:46] <foyle_> thanx astro! already did it. I was able to share folders though but cant share printer
[09:46] <Costel> hi.how can i resize a partition?
[09:46] <astro76> foyle, you tried IPP ?
[09:46] <foyle_> IPP?
[09:46] <foyle_> no? not yet
[09:47] <[11touche] > Costel: System, Administration, GNOME Partition Editor
[09:47] <Costel> qtparted give an error and i dont want to erase ubuntu
[09:47] <astro76> foyle, when you add the printer in windows, you should be able to select IPP somehow
[09:47] <foyle_> ok il try that
[09:47] <foyle_> thanx astro
[09:47] <Costel> [11touche] : i dont have that
[09:47] <arooni> anyone using the ndiswrappers for the intel wifi card in the t61?  after 5 minutes, the driver stops working
[09:47] <arooni> and i cant acess the interwebs
[09:47] <arooni> :(
[09:48] <mx544> are there any ubuntu apps that can completely wipe my hard drive?
[09:48] <[11touche] > Costel,  well, install it ;)
[09:48] <bruenig|laptop> arooni, which card
[09:48] <Costel> name o package?
[09:48] <Flannel> mx544: shred, it's already installed
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> mx544: gparted?
[09:48] <bruenig|laptop> mx544, ubuntu doesn't make very many apps
[09:48] <mx544> Where is shred?
[09:48] <arooni> bruenig|laptop: intel i4965
[09:49] <bruenig|laptop> arooni, ah one version too far for native support, bad decision
[09:49] <Flannel> mx544: In linux, you don't need to worry about "where" things are.  shred is in your path, it works from whereever.  `man shred` for all the option-y goodness.
[09:49] <knoppix> Xorg spits out cannot start modules like keyboard and mouse when trying to boot how can i fix it
[09:49] <bruenig|laptop> arooni, I made sure to avoid that when buying mine, got ipw3945
[09:49] <mx544> What? How do I open Shred in Ubuntu?
[09:49] <arooni> oh noes :(
[09:49] <arooni> i didnt know any better
[09:49] <astro76> foyle, http://www.owlfish.com/thoughts/winipp-cups-2003-07-20.html
[09:49] <bruenig|laptop> mx544, shred is a command line app
[09:49] <Flannel> mx544: you type `shred` at a console.  But it doesn't work on it's own, you'll need to pass arguments to it
[09:50] <IndyGunFreak> mx544: just open a terminal and t ype man shred
[09:50] <mx544> How do I open a terminal
[09:50] <bruenig|laptop> uh oh
[09:50] <IndyGunFreak> oh boy.
[09:50] <[11touche] > Costel, in Add/remove programs, type "gnome partition"
[09:50] <[11touche] > it should appear
[09:50] <arooni> bruenig|laptop: any suggestions?
[09:50] <Flannel> mx544: programs > accessories > terminal
[09:50] <bruenig|laptop> arooni, got to research these things beforehand
[09:50] <Costel> thanks touche`
[09:50] <bruenig|laptop> arooni, oh no idea on ndiswrapper
[09:50] <arooni> damn it
[09:50] <Haulin_Coal> anyone have a vmware serial number?
[09:50] <arooni> linux should just work
[09:50] <Haulin_Coal> ;D
[09:50] <mx544> Now what I have three options
[09:51] <bruenig|laptop> arooni, you should have at the very least checked to see that graphics and wireless worked on your laptop before you bought it
[09:51] <IndyGunFreak> arooni: it would if developers would give you a linux driver cd, like they do w/ windows
[09:51] <[11touche] > Costel, I just resized a partition to clean off Windows definitely, and it worked great
[09:51] <IndyGunFreak> so when you think about it, Windows doens't "just work" either
[09:51] <Flannel> mx544: read the man page.  It'll explain what you do.  It depends on what you want to do with it.  The default options are probably what you want. so you just need to specify a file/partition
[09:51] <zvtral> hlow all
[09:51] <bruenig|laptop> arooni, I bet the specs on that card is open if you know how to write a driver, they opened all the ones before it
[09:52] <Costel> found it ...its installing
[09:52] <arooni> bruenig|laptop: i only know how to write silly web apps like http://phonemyphone.com ;p
[09:52] <zvtral> i need help about share file
[09:52] <zvtral> i want my os can read ini windows share
[09:52] <[11touche] > Costel, it's really simple... reminds me of the Mac partition editor
[09:53] <zvtral> what must i do now
[09:53] <zvtral> or any can give me tutorial about that
[09:53] <Thanatos> Well.
[09:53] <Thanatos> I tried to install Ubuntu via Manual Setup in WinXP (The netinstall)
[09:54] <Costel> ogh the partitions are LOCKED no erase no resize
[09:54] <zzuh> !samba | zvtral
[09:54] <ubotu> zvtral: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[09:54] <Thanatos> Managed to erase my Windows partition, and then I get a 'failed to boot Operating Sister'
[09:54] <Haulin_Coal> crap...
[09:54] <Haulin_Coal> ok...how do I uninstall vmware?
[09:54] <Thanatos> So, no XP, no ubuntu. The last hour was incredibly eventful, watching XP reinstall.
[09:54] <Newbie_Dude> My Ubuntu just froze while I tried to restart it, I had to hold down the power button. :( In the future, is there a key combo (similar to control-alt delete) that I can press to try to aleviate the freeze? My mouse pointer worked but I couldn't click anything.
[09:54] <Costel> Haulin_Coal:automatix
[09:54] <KI4IKL> I have a problem with my mouse losing sync...does anyone know how to fix it?
[09:55] <Haulin_Coal> in terminal?
[09:55] <zvtral> ooo ...i see
[09:55] <ziroday> Newbie_Dude: you could try ctrl alt bkspace
[09:55] <Costel> apt-get isntall automatix2
[09:55] <Costel> !automatix
[09:55] <Flannel> !automatix | Costel, Haulin_Coal
[09:55] <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
[09:55] <ubotu> Costel, Haulin_Coal: please see above
[09:55] <kismet> Newbie_Dude, did you try cltrl + alt + backspace ? that restarts x.
[09:55] <zvtral> i must be configure samba
[09:55] <hegemon> how to i rename or append additional text to all the files within a directory?
[09:55] <astro76> Newbie_Dude, http://snafu.freedom.org/linux2.2/docs/sysrq.txt
[09:56] <Haulin_Coal> ok
[09:56] <Newbie_Dude> *LOL* Control-Alt-Backspace worked, I just tried it. >_<
[09:56] <zvtral> thx | ubotu | : )
[09:56] <hegemon> for instance you have 4 files named foo1, foo2, etc.. and would like to add "copy" to the names of those files how would I go about doing that?
[09:57] <astro76> Newbie_Dude, yeah that's the first one to try, after that the magic sysrq key might help save data and shutdown
[09:57] <togr> hegemon, for file in foo*; do mv $file ${file}copy; done
[09:57] <kismet> Newbie_Dude, it just exits you from your current session and restarts x.
[09:57] <KI4IKL> I have an issue with my mouse losing sync, and the only way to fix it is to restart the computer. Does anyone know how to fix it?
[09:58] <Haulin_Coal> ctrl+alt+backspace really does work
[09:58] <kismet> heh
[09:58] <bruenig|laptop> h
[09:59] <NeedAlittleHelp> Can anyone help me Fix this Xorg Error>? http://pastebin.com/d6e79d813
[09:59] <Newbie_Dude> Thanks for the answers, hope I didn't screw up my install when I had to hit the power off button. :(
[09:59] <bruenig|laptop> kismet, you suck, you hardly ever find hidden ssids even after deauthentication attacks using aireplay
[09:59] <foyle> Astro? can you post again the url?
[10:00] <astro76> for magic sysrq? http://snafu.freedom.org/linux2.2/docs/sysrq.txt
[10:00] <astro76> foyle, http://www.owlfish.com/thoughts/winipp-cups-2003-07-20.html
[10:00] <astro76> you probably mean that
[10:00] <foyle> thanx again astro
[10:00] <kismet> bruenig :p
[10:01] <phoenixz> Hi there, I am using Kubuntu and I just got ALSA to work correctly, so I have sound all over except for firefox, which has no audio.. How do I fix this?
[10:01] <Newbie_Dude> Anyone else have a problem where you click on the "System" or "Places" menu at the top and it doesn't respond to the click?
[10:01] <Hyarion2> hi, has anyone ever had their external hard drive start mounting with an underscore on the end of the name?
[10:01] <kismet> NeedAlittleHelp, from first look all i see is a problem with your mouse and keyboard, i suggest you try to reconfigure x
[10:01] <foyle> not that one I guess. about Printer sharing with XP
[10:01] <maat> k
[10:01] <arooni> bruenig|laptop: if i run ping yahoo.com -i 10 ... i dont seem to have my connection dropped.  is there a way to get that to happen automatically
[10:01] <arooni> as a rake task or something?
[10:02] <bruenig|laptop> arooni, I assure you that has nothing to do with it
[10:02] <bruenig|laptop> post hoc ergo propter hoc
[10:02] <astro76> anyone know a way to set a key combo to lock/unlock the keyboard? I have two cats...
[10:02] <Thanatos> bruenig: That was in my friend's econ paper.
[10:02] <Thanatos> What's it mean again?
[10:03] <bruenig|laptop> before this therefore because of this
[10:03] <bruenig|laptop> literally
[10:03] <Thanatos> astro76: You could always try unplugging it.
[10:03] <Thanatos> That's what I would do...
[10:03] <Thanatos> Cats are computer destroyers though.
[10:03] <astro76> Thanatos, I have a laptop, and no usb keyboards for my other system
[10:03] <ari_stress> hi guys, how to prevent networkmanager from replacing my /etc/resolv.conf? i'm using static ip
[10:03] <Newbie_Dude> Do I need to download an antivirus program for Ubuntu? If so, which do you recommend?
[10:04] <bruenig|laptop> Newbie_Dude, no
[10:04] <kismet> Newbie_Dude, no you don't but you could check out clamav

[10:07] <ThanatosDrive> I managed to erase my CP partition, and then Ubuntu wouldn't boot up.
[10:07] <ThanatosDrive> XP* partition,
[10:07] <Flannel> ThanatosDrive: You probably wiped your MBR with your XP partition.  Simply reinstalling GRUB to the MBR (first link of !grub) should fix it
[10:07] <bizinichi> hey
[10:08] <ThanatosDrive> Flannel: I'm kinda worried right now. Another hour staring at the lame XP setup screen makes me wary of trying it out again.
[10:08] <Newbie_Dude> How do I make a link of my "Home" directory on my desktop? I can link everything else but not my Home directory.
[10:08] <bizinichi> secret
[10:08] <ThanatosDrive> I'll just wait till I get the LiveCD

[10:10] <Newbie_Dude> @kismet: Thanks
[10:11] <Newbie_Dude> Are there alternative mouse cursors besides the default ones? I find the shadow underneath the "white glass" unnecessary, as well as the transparency effects.
[10:12] <kismet> Newbie_Dude, click on System -> Preferences -> Mouse, click on Pointers Tab, change as you will :/
[10:13] <Newbie_Dude> @kismet: Those are the only ones? :P Ah well, they're all transparent. Thanks anyway. :)
[10:13] <kismet> Newbie_Dude, you can probably add more, have look at gnome-look.org

[10:15] <vip3rousmang0> anyone have experiance with Sony SoundForge 9? It's asking me to install MS .NET Framework 2.0.. and Some MS MSV Runtime Redist. Can I do this? Can Wine handle somehting like that?
[10:16] <zvtral> any know how to setting Nessus
[10:17] <Newbie_Dude> @vip3rousmang0: Have you tried Audacity? :P Not as complex as SoundForge but pretty good for audio manipulation. :)
[10:17] <vip3rousmang0> wicked.. that apt-get-able?

[10:18] <metbsd> i don't think you can

[10:21] <Newbie_Dude> I think it does that too. :P

[10:21] <vip3rousmang0> try google :P
[10:22] <vip3rousmang0> development forums
[10:22] <daedalus__> i have sources, i was hoping for some recommendations from people who script
[10:22] <vip3rousmang0> ahh well im not one of those people :( im still new and learning
[10:23] <ThanatosDrive> I've managed to put everything I need onto my external.
[10:23] <daedalus__> i've become fairly comfortable in linux - i love the CLI, and figure i could through together a c program quickly to perform some standard calculations
[10:23] <ramseize> if may ubuntu user dito pasok ka #panabo
[10:23] <foyle_> Help! Ubuntu Printer to share with XP
[10:23] <daedalus__> although i think it would be fun to write a few scripts to output some calculations to a file
[10:24] <daedalus__> should i just use c?
[10:24] <daedalus__> through = throw in my fantasy world
[10:24] <vip3rousmang0> c++
[10:24] <vip3rousmang0> or python
[10:24] <vip3rousmang0> lots of python apps out there for ubuntu
[10:25] <daedalus__> yeah, of course - python's pretty good, for an interpreted language
[10:25] <daedalus__> oh well, i'll figure it out
[10:25] <vip3rousmang0> mmhmm

[10:33] <beni> Ubuntu Server Installation, Problems with first reboot. My Box gets to the grub menu and then Shows the initrd and kernel commands and then just reboots. Memtest Works, Recovery Mode NOT. Any advices how to fix this?
[10:33] <foyle> jim, there's no Sharing option when i right click the printer
[10:33] <Newbie_Dude> I downloaded an X11 Mouse Theme from gnome-look.org -- but surprisingly there is no documentation on how to install and can't find anything doing a search.
[10:33] <beni> Its rebooting in an infinite loop
[10:34] <rolfen> beni: can u see where the reboot is starting... at what point is it rebooting
[10:34] <beni> rolfen: at the boot command
[10:35] <beni> root( ); kernel; initrd; savedefault; boot -> and box reboots
[10:35] <beni> kinda crazy
[10:35] <rolfen> beni: ah ok
[10:35] <yeniklasor> How can I connect internet with Zoom ADSL USB Modem?
[10:36] <beni> rolfen: Do you have any clue how to fix this?
[10:37] <Pie-rate> hmm, could i put my xorg.conf on a ramdrive or something so its just deleted when the system is turned off? i'm trying to do a portable install of ubuntu and i'd prefer not to manually delete it if i had switched to a restricted driver and then moved the hard drive to a different system with a different video card
[10:37] <rolfen> beni:  i dont know... what was the last thing you did when it was working properly? did you recompile the kernel?
[10:37] <beni> I just installed Ubuntu Server 6.06
[10:37] <sma> hi
[10:37] <beni> the 7.04 installation didnt even work. its an very old box 200mhz 64MB Ram 8GB
[10:37] <rolfen> beni: ah ok... let me do a quick google
[10:37] <Newbie_Dude> I'm trying to copy a folder full of cursors into the /usr/share/icons directory but I get "don't have permission." How do I get permission? >_<
[10:38] <beni> rolfen: okay thanks
[10:38] <SlimeyPete> !sudo | Newbie_Dude
[10:38] <ubotu> Newbie_Dude: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[10:38] <Newbie_Dude> @SlimeyPete: I was hoping to avoid using the terminal :P
[10:38] <SlimeyPete> Newbie_Dude: you could try "gksu nautilus"
[10:39] <SlimeyPete> AFAIK that should load the file manager with superuser priveliges.
[10:39] <Pie-rate> Newbie_Dude has a point, you should not HAVE to use a terminal to get root privileges in nautilus.
[10:39] <SlimeyPete> but I wouldn't avoid the terminal if I were you... you'll need to ge sed to using it if you're planning to use Linux regularly :)
[10:39] <SlimeyPete> *get used
[10:39] <SlimeyPete> Pie-rate: well yeah, I agree
[10:40] <sma> howto merge "places & system" menu into "applications" menu? :)
[10:40] <Pie-rate> SlimeyPete: its not that necessary for ubuntu
[10:40] <Newbie_Dude> Wow, gksu nautilus worked. :) I'm gonna have to remember that.
[10:40] <rolfen> beni: try booting the kernel with debug option... maybe you'll get more info
[10:40] <Pie-rate> SlimeyPete: i just sent a laptop with ubuntu to my grandmother.
[10:41] <beni> rolfen: param?
[10:41] <beni> rolfen: adding debug at the end of kernel ... foo
[10:41] <SlimeyPete> Pie-rate: I don't agree. The Ubuntu GUI tools are immature and don't always work properly. Penty of general stuff can be done using the GUI bt system administration ften involves use of the terminal.
[10:41] <Newbie_Dude> I could not imagine trying to teach this to my Dad, he has a hard enough time clicking.
[10:41] <rolfen> beni: when you get the grub menu you can edit entries, add the option debug
[10:41] <rolfen> after kernel name
[10:42] <beni> rolfen: i did. before it was "ro quiet splash" changed to "rw debug" , but no change..
[10:43] <beni> rolfen: Only restarting :-(
[10:43] <rolfen> beni: i guess your problem happens before the kernel loads
[10:44] <demesne> If there a fix the non-functioning middle click.
[10:45] <bri> freenode
[10:47] <yeniklasor> How can I connect internet with Zoom ADSL USB Modem :(
[10:47] <towlieba> hey guys if i boot ubuntu form the live cd and install ati drivers, is there a way i can reinit x without rebooting?
[10:49] <beni> rolfen: okay..
[10:49] <rolfen> beni: i am researching about initrd... but i dont guarantee anything :-)
[10:50] <beni> rolfen: wow thanks a lot :) giveme some keywords i'll have a look, too if you wish
[10:50] <alesan> !flash
[10:50] <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
[10:50] <rolfen> beni: here i'm looking at the wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initrd
[10:51] <alesan> what about the flash plugin?
[10:51] <alesan> will there be an update?
[10:52] <alesan> md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[10:52] <alesan> The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[10:53] <gnomefreak> alesan: its known
[10:53] <gnomefreak> alesan: its being worked on give a few weeks
[10:53] <user101> hey guyz...
[10:54] <ToastGuy> hey
[10:54] <rolfen> beni: pretty complicated
[10:54] <alesan> gnomefreak, few weeks? to update a md5sum the ubuntu database? I mean how can I force the installation then
[10:54] <user101> i have a problem with neverwinter nights... the sound stutters... i dunno what to do... anyone know of this issue?
[10:54] <towlieban> if i boot from the livecd is it possible to restart the X server without rebooting if i install ATI drivers ?
[10:54] <gnomefreak> alesan: if thats all it was that would have been done already
[10:54] <Newbie_Dude> I sear sometimes I click my mouse but nothing happens on my screen. Is this a typical Ubuntu problem? It doesn't happen every click, but once in a while.
[10:55] <alesan> gnomefreak, I see, sorry. do you know a way to install an old version?
[10:55] <alesan> maybe somebody could send me the two files?
[10:55] <gnomefreak> alesan: newest version of flash had tons of regressions we need to look into them see if fixed before we can give new version since adobe screwed up
[10:55] <Frogzoo> Newbie_Dude: perfectly possible your mouse is malfunctioning
[10:55] <alesan> gnomefreak, I understand. in the meanwhile do you think it's possible to catch the old version from somewhere
[10:55] <Frogzoo> Newbie_Dude: would be the first time I've seen linux miss mouse clicks
[10:56] <gnomefreak> alesan: cd /var/cache/apt/archives/ and see if you can dpkg -i it from there. other than that there is no way
[10:56] <Newbie_Dude> @Frogzoo: Can't be, I need a scapegoat, it has to be Ubuntu!
[10:56] <baconbacon> Hi, I have an ... interesting ... question (probably) concerning `tar`. Anyone have some tips on how to archive files using multiple block devices (hard disks) of different sizes?
[10:56] <alesan> gnomefreak, somebody could send me the two files
[10:56] <beni> rolfen: okay i inserted a pause, i'll give you the full text which is on the screen before the boot command is executed and the box restarts
[10:56] <alesan> I mean the plugin files
[10:56] <Newbie_Dude> @Frogzoo: Actually you're right, it might be coincidence I am running out of battery so I'll restock on battery now.
[10:56] <gnomefreak> alesan: its nonfree so we dont have source package we have scripts that download it from adobe
[10:57] <rolfen> beni: okay
[10:57] <Newbie_Dude> Is there a way to drag directly from a compressed (.GZ) file into the directory? I usually double-click the compressed file, then just drag the contents to another folder, but can't seem to do it in Ubuntu.
[10:58] <alesan> gnomefreak, ok but could somebody send me, by email or DCC, the two flash files that are symlinked in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[10:58] <gnomefreak> alesan: install it like i said it might work if not hte files wont do you much good since its borked for everyone. the flashplugin-nonfree.deb is the package that grabs from adobe
[10:58] <demesne> If there a fix for a non-functioning middle click.
[11:00] <gnomefreak> alesan: maybe this weekend ill see if the fix i think i have will work but the files wont do you much good since you will need to install them anyway and that would entail downloading it again. search launchpad for the bug (its already been filed a few times) and comment on it
[11:01] <demesne> If there a fix for a non-functioning mouse middle button
[11:01] <Spaceman3750> Hey guys, I want to chmod my Windows partition to 777 so I can get to it from any account, how would I do that?
[11:02] <alesan> gnomefreak, I think the issue is the following. If I try to install the flashplugin-nonfree, it does not install flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so, but
[11:02] <Frogzoo> demesne: which mouse?
[11:03] <alesan> it creates the symlinks in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins.
[11:03] <alesan> now if I copy those files from an old installtion it should work.
[11:03] <gnomefreak> alesan: its not installing because teh tarball that the package grabs no longer has 9.0.31 it has been upgraded
[11:03] <beni> rolfen: http://nopaste.php-q.net/311303
[11:03] <demesne> Frogzoo, generic usb optical mouse
[11:03] <gnomefreak> alesan: there is no 9.0.31 anymore files will not help you
[11:03] <alesan> gnomefreak, we are talking in circles
[11:04] <Spaceman3750> What is gnomefreak's issue?
[11:04] <gnomefreak> Spaceman3750: i dont have one
[11:04] <Spaceman3750> I know Flash for Ubuntu is bugged...
[11:04] <Spaceman3750> Oh, OK
[11:04] <gnomefreak> Spaceman3750: yes and if i get time in next few days i will fix it
[11:04] <rolfen> beni: ok thank
[11:04] <beni> rolfen: does it help?
[11:05] <Frogzoo> Spaceman3750: google 'linux fat mount umask'
[11:05] <rolfen> beni: well... looks like a tough one :-)
[11:05] <ThanatosDrive> To the channel: You guys are great. Rock on.
[11:05] <alesan> gnomefreak, ok I got flash working copying those files from another machine
[11:05] <beni> rolfen: hehe :)
[11:06] <gnomefreak> alesan: they shouldnt have fixed that atleast now you need to make sure you dont upgrade as it will ask you to upgrade.
[11:06] <alesan> why it should ask me to upgrade I don't get it
[11:06] <gnomefreak> alesan: seeing as those files aare in /var/cache/apt/archives/ as i said to begin with you could have gotten them from there
[11:06] <beni> rolfen: its grub stage 1.5 whatever that means
[11:07] <rolfen> beni: i think the precompiled initrd is somehow incompatible with your hardware
[11:07] <alesan> gnomefreak, those files in /var are the *new* version, aren't they?
[11:07] <beni> rolfen: setup never told me about this... and i plugged of the scsi card i used during the setup
[11:07] <gnomefreak> alesan: because the tarball that flash used for 9.0.31 is the exact same name of the tarball they are using for newest version. the script to get flash only grabs that tarball but the script thinks its 9.0.31 and its not
[11:07] <beni> rolfen: I needed it in order to get a bootable CDRom drive
[11:07] <gnomefreak> alesan: no since it doesnt install them
[11:08] <demesne> Frogzoo: generic usb optical mouse
[11:08] <alesan> that's why I took the files from another computer that still had the old version installed
[11:08] <CppIsWeird> i am having trouble make'ing the alsa drivers, i get this error (which they say is unique to ubuntu) : ln: creating symbolic link `include/sound' to `../alsa-kernel/include': Permission denied
[11:08] <gnomefreak> alesan: best bet is to disable backport repos now
[11:08] <gnomefreak> that may or maynnot stop it from trying to upgrade
[11:09] <ny00123> hi
[11:10] <ny00123> Wine + CompizFusion in fullscreen without gnome bars and AWN (Avant Window Navigator, similar to that Dock from Mac OS X)?
[11:11] <ToastGuy> what are gnomes?
[11:11] <qwerty> /stats u
[11:11] <ny00123> the gnome bar
[11:11] <ny00123> *bars
[11:11] <ny00123> I mean, the top one with "Applications Places System"
[11:12] <ny00123> as well as the bottom one which is a taskbar, let's you minimize all windows and switch between workspaces.
[11:12] <ny00123> How can they be hidden in a fullscreen Wine app (and possibly other apps) when using Compiz-Fusion?
[11:12] <MajorPayne> ny00123: They are called panels.
[11:12] <ny00123> correct
[11:13] <kunal> hello... I am facing funny problem related to System Time
[11:13] <kunal> at bootup.. the time shown is different..
[11:14] <kunal> and after few minuted the time appears local.
[11:14] <Ap4ch3> I having trouble installing dapper server on a sata HP dl360 server, no built in cdrom, using usb dvdrom, boots kernel asks for language but then will not get past that, kernel does not seem to able to use a usb mass storage device. Anyone know a switch i can give the kernel to do this?
[11:14] <kunal> what could be the solution for the problem
[11:14] <gdb> kunal: sounds like the time in your bios is wrong and after your system has been running for a bit, ntpd sets the correct local time
[11:14] <milestone> hi all
[11:14] <kunal> nope.. the BIOS time is correct
[11:15] <kunal> I checked that..
[11:15] <milestone> is there a way to do a batch conversion of files from iso-8859-1 to utf-8?
[11:15] <milestone> iconv only print s the to stdout
[11:15] <rolfen> beni: could it be because you removed the scsi device?
[11:15] <milestone> i want to convert them all permanently
[11:15] <beni> hm i dont think so i could plug it in again
[11:15] <MajorPayne> Maybe your BIOS time is set to local time or UTC when it should be set to the other?
[11:15] <ny00123> milestone, do those filse contain only ASCII characters
[11:15] <ny00123> (e.g. not above character no. 127?)
[11:15] <milestone> ny00123: yes they are html files
[11:16] <kunal> BIOS time is set to local.. and UTC is set to IST..
[11:16] <Frogzoo> milestone: something like: for x in * ; do iconv $x > $x.out ; done
[11:16] <milestone> ny00123: no they do contain german umlauts
[11:16] <ny00123> If they're English and don't use the unique Western-European characters from ISO-8859-1, then no conversion should be required.
[11:16] <ny00123> ohh
[11:16] <kunal> after some minutes.. the time sets to ITC
[11:16] <ny00123> milestone, using ubuntu or kubuntu, or another variant?
[11:16] <kunal> sorry.. IST
[11:16] <milestone> ubuntu feisty fawn
[11:16] <milestone> server distrib
[11:16] <MajorPayne> kunal: Try right clicking on the clock and then preferences, make sure the UTC/local is set properly.
[11:16] <ny00123> ok milestone...so you don't have gedit, I guess
[11:17] <kunal> yep.. I did that..
[11:17] <rolfen> beni: maybe you're right... i shouldnt be the scsi device
[11:17] <kunal> UTC/Local is set properly.
[11:17] <ny00123> milestone, if you do...
[11:17] <ny00123> or not. milestone got GNOME?
[11:18] <milestone> ny00123: nope
[11:18] <ny00123> hmm...I know how can the conversion be made using gedit
[11:18] <Newbie_Dude> Are all programs downloaded with Synaptic updated via the 'update' tool, or do I need to keep an eye on new versions?
[11:19] <gdb> Newbie_Dude: once you install something, update-notifier will tell you if there's a new package you need to install
[11:20] <Newbie_Dude> gdb: thanks
[11:20] <milestone> ny00123: i have an vmware image i can start
[11:20] <gdb> Newbie_Dude: sure thing, basically it just does and apt-get update and checks to see if anything has changed, if so, it does that little orange square notifier i'm sure you've seen before
[11:21] <ny00123> milestone, that could possibly be done with a command, or vi or nano
[11:21] <jorge_> hello, I have a problem. I can not open http://www.terra.es/chat/salas/sala_23_128.htm
[11:21] <ny00123> but the way I know it is to load Applications --> Accessories --> Text Editor
[11:21] <demesne> Is there a fix for a non-functioning mouse middle button
[11:21] <ny00123> open the file in ISO-8859-1 mode, and save in UTF-8.
[11:21] <jorge_> how can I open http://www.terra.es/chat/salas/sala_23_128.htm?
[11:21] <rolfen> beni: i got to go... good luck! if it doesnt work you could consider installing an older distribution then manually updating and recompiling the kernel ...
[11:21] <xst> I have a problem with the simpleviewer export plugin in gwenview: EXIF-rotated images are displayed correctly in both konqueror and gwenview but when I export them to simpleviewer they loose their rotation. It is like simpeviewer ignores exif rotation. Is that correct?
[11:22] <jatt> jorge_: you need FLASH
[11:22] <beni> rolfen: okay thank you a lot!! have a nice day, i'll keep working on this bitch ;)
[11:22] <rolfen> :)
[11:22] <jorge_> jatt I have flash
[11:22] <jatt> jorge_: Me too and I cannot open the page either, so probably the page is just crap

[11:23] <jorge_> I can open youtube
[11:23] <jorge_> but I can not open http://www.terra.es/chat/salas/sala_23_128.htm but I can open youtube
[11:24] <jatt> jorge_: there is nothing you can do then
[11:24] <CppIsWeird> can anyone help me resolve this make error when trying to make alsa drivers: http://pastebin.com/m2aa0ff
[11:24] <jatt> jorge_: ask the people who maintain that page that they should fix it
[11:24] <towlieban> hey guys i am following a tutorial on installing xgl and it says to do sudo apt-get install xserer-xgl but it says couldnt find package xserver-xgl
[11:24] <towlieban> anyone know whats wrong ?
[11:24] <Spaceman3750> Jorge, Flash is bugged out, it may be related to that
[11:24] <rohan> anyone has an idea how to concurrently run debian and ubuntu (or any other debian based distro) ? both want control of /boot and want to automatically update menu.lst as new kernels are added, but they both can't do it.. atleast one of the OS needs to be added outside the dpkg auto config area .. is it possible to have both of them update menu.lst automatically ?
[11:25] <Jordan_U> towlieban, Do you have universe enabled?
[11:25] <jorge_> I have flash
[11:25] <towlieban> Jordan_U no how do i enable it
[11:25] <Jordan_U> rohan, They don't just see and add each other's kernels?

[11:26] <rancidlm> hey all is there a command to see what app has open what port
[11:26] <MarcoPau> hello, my ubuntu freezes pretty often, and all I can do is reboot the computer. what logs should I check in order to detect the problem? windoze won't do anything like that
[11:26] <Jordan_U> towlieban, What guide are you following, there are a lot of bad guides out there, *especially* for XGL
[11:26] <jatt> MarcoPau: check your RAM
[11:27] <Jordan_U> MarcoPau, You hardly ever *need* to reboot
[11:27] <jatt> MarcoPau: with memtest86+
[11:27] <Rienzilla> rancidlm: netstat -tapn | grep LISTEN
[11:27] <MarcoPau> Jordan_U: heh, but if it freezes... neither keyboard nor mouse respond
[11:27] <jatt> Jordan_U: did you read what he wrote? His computer freezes, so he MUST reboot!
[11:27] <MarcoPau> jatt: oki
[11:27] <Jordan_U> MarcoPau, Does ssh work ( If you have openssh-server installed ) or alt+sysrq+k ?

[11:28] <Jordan_U> fbc, Gutsy
[11:28] <fbc> Jordan_U,  thx
[11:28] <Newbie_Dude> Does anyone know any alternative drivers for Conexant 56k Modems, particularly not $15 driverse from Linuxant?
[11:28] <towlieban> ati x1600 on my macbook pro
[11:28] <Jordan_U> fbc, np
[11:28] <MarcoPau> Jordan_U: I can't really try ssh, having only this computer...
[11:29] <Jordan_U> towlieban, Why are you running dapper?
[11:29] <MarcoPau> Jordan_U: and what's sysrq?
[11:29] <jatt> MarcoPau: check your hardware first. You can also take a look at the logs in /var/log to see if the kernel logs something special before freezing
[11:29] <Newbie_Dude> !sysrq
[11:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sysrq - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:29] <FruitieX> towlieban: why XGL?
[11:29] <towlieban> Jordan_U whats dapper ?

[11:29] <fbc> Newbie_Dude, I heard there is a patch for those drivers, whos knows if it's true or not.
[11:29] <Newbie_Dude> Dapper is an old version of Ubuntu I believe
[11:29] <Jordan_U> towlieban, The version of Ubuntu that guide is made for, released in 2006 :)
[11:30] <MarcoPau> Jordan_U: you mean the one on top of "ins"?
[11:30] <Newbie_Dude> @fbc: Oh well, thanks. I know there's a work-around for Conexant modem driver for Dapper but none for Feisty. I might just give in and send Linuxant the $15 for the drivers. >_< meh
[11:30] <Casull> Okay, quick check: How many people here have had problems with external hard drives not mounting in Ubuntu 7.04?
[11:30] <Jordan_U> MarcoPau, Depends on your keyboard
[11:30] <rohan> Jordan_U: no, unfortunately not .. they both want to keep the other outside the autoconfig are
[11:31] <rancidlm> Rienzilla: thnx!
[11:31] <BevDizzle> I have a problem where i cannot connect ot any update servers or irc servers or limewire etc
[11:31] <BevDizzle> but as soon as i ping the address say security.ubuntu.com or irc.freenode.net or whatever address im trying to connect to its able to connect fine as soon as i've pinged it.
[11:31] <BevDizzle> Im using Dapper and i dont have a firewall
[11:31] <fbc> Casull, what filesystem?
[11:31] <Casull> either vfat or FAT32, most likely the latter.
[11:32] <Casull> It was mounting just fine a few hours ago, then I shut down the laptop and the external to save power.
[11:32] <Rienzilla> np
[11:32] <jatt> BevDizzle: what does traceroute say before and after ping?
[11:32] <fbc> Casull,  you may have to do an fsck
[11:32] <BevDizzle> lemme see.
[11:33] <fbc> BevDizzle,  you may have a dns issue. check your network settings.
[11:33] <Casull> For the record, the drive is readable under Windows 2000, I'm using a dual boot machine.
[11:33] <demesne> Is there a fix for a non-functioning mouse middle button
[11:33] <Polis_ttt> anyone using gproftpd?
[11:33] <Jordan_U> Casull, Do you have ntfs-config installed?
[11:33] <Frogzoo> !anyone | Polis_ttt
[11:33] <ubotu> Polis_ttt: 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?
[11:33] <fbc> demesne, the middle finger? :-)
[11:33] <towlieban> Jordan_U do what tutorial should i use ? i cant find one for a macbook thats current
[11:34] <Casull> Do I need that installed for an external hard drive that's using FAT32?
[11:34] <jatt> demesne: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:34] <jatt> demesne: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:34] <demesne> jatt: Still doesn't work
[11:35] <Jordan_U> !xgl | towlieban
[11:35] <ubotu> towlieban: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:35] <BevDizzle> Jatt the result is much the same
[11:35] <BevDizzle> fbc what must I look for.....
[11:35] <Jordan_U> Casull, no
[11:35] <jatt> demesne: Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true" and Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"4 5" in xorg.conf works for me I am using the wheel right now.
[11:35] <BevDizzle> the DNS has the address of my ADSL Router
[11:36] <Casull> Well, at any rate, I guess it wouldn't hurt to have ntfs config here.
[11:36] <demesne> jatt: Scrolling works fine, can't midde click. Tried both false and true to Emulate3Buttons.
[11:36] <Casull> Allow me to show you some interesting readout...
[11:36] <Casull> Jul 13 02:18:48 jules kernel: [  445.224000]  usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 92
[11:37] <fbc> BevDizzle, the you definitely hare having issues with the os. probably going to be somethign in the /etc/network settings.
[11:37] <Casull> Now, repeat that line every few seconds, with the address and the [xxx] numbers changing
[11:37] <jatt> demesne: start xev and then click with the middle button in the xev window: does xev get the click?
[11:37] <BevDizzle> hmmmm
[11:37] <demesne> jatt: Doesn't get the click.
[11:37] <Casull> My external's read light is also pulsing...
[11:38] <jatt> demesne: I am out of ideas then, indeed very strange
[11:38] <demesne> jatt: Thank you for the help anyway.
[11:41] <Greatmetal> itsa _TomB D:
[11:41] <Newbie_Dude> Is the program "Wine" in Synaptic Add/Remove any good? I thought that program was no longer developed -- now called Cedega or something.
[11:42] <jatt> Newbie_Dude: I would avoid wine
[11:42] <Casull> Newbie: Cedega is a different fork for Wine; right now, they're two separate projects
[11:42] <demesne> Is there a fix for a non-functioning mouse middle button, after trying 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', Emulate3Buttons, ZAxisMapping 4 5, xev receives button 1 3 4 5.
[11:42] <Greatmetal> Wine is still being actively developed
[11:42] <Greatmetal> jatt why?
[11:42] <Greatmetal> it works great
[11:43] <outer> Hey there everyone. I'm having trouble installing flash player for firefox in ubuntu. It basically goes through the motions but everytime I go back to youtube or google video it asks me to install it again. Any one else had this issue?
[11:43] <Newbie_Dude> OK, let's say I already installed Wine and want to uninstall it. Is Ubuntu like Windows, where I uninstall something but there are little pieces of the program left in registries and directories, like bread crumbs in a keyboard?
[11:43] <cotyrothery> is a pentium 4 intell processor good
[11:43] <bevanl_> i cant see anything wrong in the etc/network/interfaces :( im completly lost as to why it wont work
[11:43] <lkgnfm> anyone here tight on bitchx?
[11:43] <Greatmetal> Newbie_Dude, open terminal and do rm -rf ./.wine/
[11:43] <Casull> Bah, that does it.  Restart, if the drive doesn't show up again, I'm reinstalling Ubuntu...God knows it's been a royal pain for a while.
[11:43] <Casull> Good night, all~
[11:43] <jatt> Newbie_Dude: haha nooo ubuntu is not like windows!
[11:44] <jatt> Newbie_Dude: the ubuntu package system allows you to remove programs cleanly
[11:44] <Greatmetal> jatt, not all the way
[11:44] <I_Have_No_Idea> How do i multiboot with Ubuntu being the first OS
[11:44] <jatt> Greatmetal: OK
[11:44] <Newbie_Dude> OK thanks. This is only my 2nd day of Ubuntu so I'll probably end up downloading a lot of programs I won't use.
[11:44] <Greatmetal> jatt, alot of them still keep their config directorys
[11:45] <jatt> Greatmetal: OK
[11:45] <Newbie_Dude> @I_Have_No_Idea: You have two OSs on your computer i assume?
[11:46] <BevDizzle_> Does anyone know what my problem would be why i cant connect to servers unless i ping them in which case i can then connect to them im completely lost
[11:46] <I_Have_No_Idea> Newbie_Dude I have Ubuntu 5.10 and want to Install 6.06 LTS and multiboot with other linux distros
[11:46] <I_Have_No_Idea> I dont wanna keep the 5.10 installation
[11:46] <lui4> anyone here know bitchx well?
[11:46] <I_Have_No_Idea> <--messed it up badly
[11:48] <r4663r> hello
[11:48] <Newbie_Dude> I have no idea, I_Have_No_Idea :P SUre someone else could tell ya, but they're all quiet today. ;)
[11:48] <I_Have_No_Idea> indeed
[11:48] <lui4> anyone know how to get a channel list in bitchx?
[11:49] <Jordan_U> I_Have_No_Idea, Why 6.06?
[11:49] <shapermechanist> lui4 /list
[11:49] <lui4> shapermechanist thanx mate
[11:49] <I_Have_No_Idea> Why not?
[11:49] <daya> raphink, hi
[11:49] <Newbie_Dude> Good question, I always wondered why anyone would install an old version of something. :P
[11:49] <dvm> When i use the libmtp functions in glade2 , it shows "undefined reference to `LIBMTP_Get_Connected_Devices'", Is there anything to specify in linker options?
[11:49] <Jordan_U> lui4, That is the same in all clients
[11:49] <r4663r> is there a way, to mark text in different apps, then pressing a key ( for example strg+super ), after that there runs another command with the marked text as parameter?
[11:49] <raphink> hi daya
[11:50] <daya> raphink, do u have any idea about tux typing tutor,
[11:50] <Jordan_U> I_Have_No_Idea, It is harder to set up and has older applications
[11:50] <daya> raphink, actually we want to localise it, so that it can be the tying tutor in nepali langs.
[11:50] <I_Have_No_Idea> So go with 7.04?
[11:50] <Jordan_U> I_Have_No_Idea, Yes
[11:50] <antodona> ola
[11:50] <I_Have_No_Idea>  Awwz
[11:50] <I_Have_No_Idea> now im sad
[11:51] <Jordan_U> I_Have_No_Idea, Why ? :)
[11:51] <I_Have_No_Idea> Cuz well
[11:51] <I_Have_No_Idea> <.<
[11:51] <I_Have_No_Idea> I like older OS's
[11:51] <DBLue> How can i change the text in terminal, when i log in terminal there is a text that says on the bottom "use Ubuntu without no" and something, where that text can be changed?
[11:51] <I_Have_No_Idea> XD
[11:51] <rico__> lui4, try /list

[11:53] <Jordan_U> lui4, gparted
[11:53] <cotyrothery> all it does is take the wired internet connection and broadcast it
[11:53] <Newbie_Dude> @lui4: If you wanna get rid of all the old NTFS garbage, what I did was reinstall Ubuntu with the "Full Disk Partition" option. It made the entire disk all EXT3, got rid of the NTFS (windows) garbage. :) Clean hard disk!

[11:55] <jatt> !anyone | sscott
[11:55] <ubotu> sscott: 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?
[11:55] <uxunxu> Greetings. I am upgrading from Dapper to Edgy and have a custom initrd initial ramdisk filesystem image specified in /etc/lilo.conf. My special initrd boot image does some non-standard hardware initialization at boot time. My question: what does update-manager do when updating, with regard to lilo.conf and initrd files?
[11:55] <vpalle> cotyrothery: sweet
[11:56] <rico__> Joomla is giagantic, and often too feature-bloated for those looking for something simple
[11:56] <sscott> i just need to know how i can get the power button on my laptop to do something
[11:56] <SlimeyPete> jatt: erm, he asked his question
[11:56] <lui4> umm there is no qparted in my box
[11:56] <MarcoPau_> jatt: and /var/log/messages doesn't log anything at the time of the freezing
[11:56] <Newbie_Dude> Gparted
[11:56] <Jordan_U> MarcoPau, Sometimes you need to use function for printscreen to act as sysrq.
[11:56] <cotyrothery> so does anyone know how i could get wifimax to work
[11:56] <jatt> SlimeyPete: OK
[11:56] <SlimeyPete> lui4: gparted. 'g' not 'q'.
[11:56] <lui4> and i did a sudo apt-get install qparted and got nothing either
[11:56] <lui4> oh
[11:56] <sscott> cotyrothery: Are you in hamilton? hahaha
[11:56] <Newbie_Dude> @lui4 ---> G geeeee parted :) lol
[11:56] <cotyrothery> sscott: who?
[11:56] <Jordan_U> MarcoPau, Try fn+alt+sysrq+k
[11:57] <sscott> cotyrothery: I applied for wifimax free trial here.. didn't get accepted yet ;P
[11:57] <cotyrothery> sscott: I dont think so why
[11:57] <lui4> ok niggaz this works
[11:57] <lui4> :)
[11:57] <MarcoPau> Jordan_U: I don't have fn... that is a laptop key I suppose
[11:57] <uxunxu> More succinctly: will update-manager, when upgrading from one release to another, wipe out an existing lilo.conf?
[11:57] <cotyrothery> I dont know how to get wifimax to work on linux
[11:57] <Newbie_Dude> @sscott: Just a shot in the dark, I'm a noob, but try System Menu > Prefrences > "Power Management Preferences" > General Tab
[11:57] <sscott> it adds to it
[11:57] <sscott> uhg
[11:57] <sscott> Newbie_Dude: Will try, thx
[11:57] <cotyrothery> All i need to do is get my wired connection to share with it
[11:58] <cotyrothery> anyone now how i can do this
[11:58] <Jordan_U> MarcoPau, Next time you get it working close anything important and see if alt+sysrq+k works normally
[11:58] <lui4> ok yall this is nice... its graphical (gparted)
[11:58] <lui4> and i who even do the urls in text mode
[11:59] <sscott> It's like my power button isn't linked as the power button
[11:59] <lui4> (elinks)
[11:59] <lui4> :P
[11:59] <sscott> how can i find out what key my power button is to link it to powerbtn
[11:59] <Jordan_U> sscott, xev possibly?
[12:00] <gnomefreak> anyone having the flashplugin md5sum error it should be fixed within next 7days or so for feisty
[12:00] <sscott> Jordan_U: Ha neat
[12:00] <MarcoPau> Jordan_U: worked. it rebooted X
[12:00] <Newbie_Dude> What font you guys use for this IRC thing? This default Sans Serif is hideous.
[12:00] <Jordan_U> MarcoPau, After restarting or from the freeze?
[12:00] <sscott> serial 30
[12:00] <sscott> hrm
[12:00] <lui4> so um the master hdd is ext3 should this slave hdd also be in ext3?
[12:01] <SlimeyPete> Newbie_Dude: monospace regular 9 point
[12:01] <sscott> when i pressed the power button i used to get a list of things i could do. now i get nothing
[12:01] <SlimeyPete> but I'm on KDE, in a terminal, not in xchat or anything
[12:01] <Newbie_Dude> @lui4: I believe EXT3 is for Ubuntu, and if you don't plan on using Windows again, make it EXT3. :) No more NTFS, I did that yesterday myself. xD
[12:02] <cotyrothery> can someone please tell me how to get my wired connection to share the connection with my wifi max
[12:02] <lui4> ewbie_Dude sounds awwrite ... ill do ext3 then
[12:02] <sscott> keycode 222
[12:03] <sscott> what command pulls up the logout/shutdown menu
[12:03] <cotyrothery> all i need to do to get it work is share my internet connection its easy to do in windows i just dont know how in ubuntu
[12:03] <Hobbsee> rico__: please dont do that
[12:03] <Spaceman3750> If I install KDE using apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, do I uninstall it by issuing apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop, and it will go back to Gnome?
[12:04] <Jordan_U> cotyrothery, So you have everything but the internet sharing working?
[12:04] <lui4> newbie dude should this be a primary partition or extended... (its extended right?)
[12:04] <cotyrothery> Jordan_U: yes
[12:04] <cotyrothery> Jordan_U: i dont know what programe to use to share it
[12:04] <SlimeyPete> Spaceman3750: just do an apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[12:04] <Jordan_U> cotyrothery, Try Firestarter for internet sharing
[12:04] <SlimeyPete> that should replace kde with gnome
[12:04] <Newbie_Dude> @lui4: no idea
[12:04] <MarcoPau> Jordan_U: no, it wasn't frozen
[12:04] <cotyrothery> Jordan_U: Im not sure how to configure it
[12:05] <lui4> JOrdan primary or extended? (this is the slave hdd!!)
[12:05] <cotyrothery> never mind
[12:05] <Jordan_U> cotyrothery, It is pretty easy, try it and ask questions if you don't understand a part of it
[12:05] <jatt> Newbie_Dude: I do use Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-12
[12:05] <cotyrothery> ok should i do the firewall
[12:05] <cotyrothery> and or the ip assign to dhcp
[12:05] <Newbie_Dude> jatt: Oo, that seems alright. :) Nice and big for my aging eyes.
[12:06] <Jordan_U> lui4, Doesn't matter, if it is the only partition on the drive then primary
[12:06] <lui4> well i got two hdds in my computer.... and the one with ntsf was the one that was slave and not had anything on it
[12:06] <Jordan_U> cotyrothery, Assigning via DHCP will make connecting to your comp easier
[12:06] <MarcoPau> Jordan_U: so the combination is working, but not responding when it freezes... thus, ram test or?
[12:07] <cotyrothery> I'm not sure which device to choose for sharing
[12:07] <jatt> MarcoPau: Test your RAM
[12:07] <cotyrothery> it has vmnet08 and vmnet09
[12:07] <Jordan_U> MarcoPau, What GFX card do you have?
[12:07] <cotyrothery> then it has eth0 eth1 and eth2
[12:07] <jatt> MarcoPau: memtest86+
[12:07] <Newbie_Dude> What's that command again... "lspi | grep -audio" ? Trying to get my audio to work.
[12:07] <Jordan_U> cotyrothery, it is going to be either eth1 or 2
[12:08] <Jordan_U> cotyrothery, vmnet is for VMware
[12:08] <MarcoPau> S3 Inc. Trio 64 3D
[12:08] <MarcoPau> Jordan_U: I'm on a super old machine
[12:08] <cotyrothery> ok
[12:09] <cotyrothery> Jordan_U: but my wifi max is usb
[12:09] <Jordan_U> MarcoPau, With my card ( crappy ATI drivers ) I have to disable DRI to keep it from crashing
[12:09] <MarcoPau> Jordan_U: that's from xorg.conf?
[12:10] <Jordan_U> cotyrothery, I don't know how to setup your wifi max, that is why I asked if it was just the internet sharing that you needed to get working
[12:10] <lui4> what is the command to check the total hdd space?
[12:10] <Jordan_U> MarcoPau, Yes, it basically disables 3D acceleration
[12:10] <Jordan_U> lui4, df
[12:11] <Jordan_U> lui4, df -h for human readable output :)
[12:11] <fblade1987> hey guys just a quick question is there a live cd that has java installed?
[12:11] <axos88> Hi guys... I've just installed Debian-amd64 from a netinst HD-MEDIA. the installer didn't reckognize my NIC (i have both LAN and WLAN), so installed only the minimal system... But still no NIC (well no wonder)... What can I do? I have a brand new ASUS F3SV laptop
[12:11] <Jordan_U> fblade1987, You can install applications from the LiveCD
[12:11] <Newbie_Dude> The screensavers alone make me feel good about my switch to Ubuntu, lol. They really rock.
[12:11] <lui4> Jordan_U i did df -a (all)
[12:11] <jatt> axos88: what does that have to do with ubuntu?
[12:11] <cotyrothery> Jordan_U: if it helps my wifimax uses ZyDAS ZD1211 driver
[12:11] <Frogzoo> while writing to a pcmcia inserted CF card, the rest of the machine is horribly unresponsive; vmstat shows interupts goes up to 8000 and load=20 - is this due to having a crappy 16bit pcmcia/cf converter?
[12:11] <Spaceman3750> Can the Ubuntu Certified Professional course be taken long-distance?
[12:11] <leon_pegg> hi all I have a problem I just went to install a package on my server and found the breezy repos are no longer avalible what do I do
[12:12] <Jordan_U> axos88, This is #ubuntu
[12:12] <Jordan_U> leon_pegg, Upgrade to Dapper
[12:12] <leon_pegg> whats the easyest way?
[12:12] <Jordan_U> !upgrade | leon_pegg
[12:12] <ubotu> leon_pegg: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:12] <fblade1987> Jordan_u : yeah i know i just would like one with it already on so i can demonstrate on someone else's computer to allow a newbie to see what linux is like
[12:12] <losinme> okay
[12:12] <axos88> yeah, but Ubuntu is actually an offspring of debian... and this is actually not tied to any distro
[12:12] <losinme> now my laptop is reaching critical temperature
[12:12] <losinme> but it's not really
[12:12] <losinme> but kubuntu thinks it is
[12:12] <axos88> Jordan_U:
[12:13] <losinme> has somebody joined the ubuntu development specifically to break things
[12:13] <Jordan_U> fblade1987, Why not show them how easy it is to install apps through Applications -> Add/Remove :)
[12:13] <leon_pegg> thanks Jordan_U
[12:13] <Frogzoo> leon_pegg: upgrade to dapper or feisty
[12:13] <lui4> ok so i formated this hdd and put ext3 on it... do i need to mount it or something? because it does not show up when im looking for it... the name for it is "hdb1"
[12:14] <Jordan_U> leon_pegg, np
[12:14] <leon_pegg> I am upgrading to dapper
[12:14] <losinme> don't upgrade to feisty
[12:14] <losinme> it breaks everything
[12:14] <fblade1987> the thing is i'm not going to be there to show them, so i would like for them to have java just to help things along
[12:14] <fblade1987> is there a way i can make a live cd with java on?
[12:14] <Frogzoo> leon_pegg: I don't mean upgrade, but rather 'install from scratch'
[12:14] <losinme> 6.06 is the only stable version where things work.. but that's because they don't let you have new programs like firefox 2.0+
[12:15] <losinme> ubuntu is slowly losing me
[12:15] <rico__> hey guys, i just connected my iPod on my ubuntu setup... i noticed it got mounted automatically. what does this? :)
[12:15] <Frogzoo> losinme: from a fresh install of edgy, I upgraded to feisty no probs
[12:15] <rico__> I mean, how does that happen... I didn't have to mount it manually
[12:15] <leon_pegg> Its server so I dont have firefox etc
[12:15] <losinme> Frogzoo:  From fresh installs of fesity, i have had nothing but problems
[12:15] <losinme> Frogzoo: From the uuid way of labling disks
[12:15] <Jordan_U> losinme, You might like debian
[12:15] <losinme> Jordan_U: Yeah
[12:15] <dawn`chorus> rico__, i think it's hal + gnome volume manager.
[12:16] <losinme> grrr
[12:16] <antodona> ola
[12:16] <antodona> que pasa
[12:16] <antodona> wenass
[12:16] <Jordan_U> !es > antodona
[12:16] <antodona> wenass jordan
[12:16] <antodona> que pasa como te va
[12:17] <Jordan_U> antodona, I don't know spanish :)
[12:17] <antodona> no spk ingkins
[12:17] <losinme> I will deal with the OSS issues by using debian .. but i'd really like to get this power button issue sorted on the laptop
[12:17] <lui4> how do i mount the hdd i just formated?
[12:18] <rico__> dawn`chorus, hmm so if I plug in a USB key drive, will it auto-mount too?
[12:18] <losinme> it should be a no brainer
[12:18] <losinme> rico__: Yep
[12:18] <Jordan_U> lui4, What's the device name?
[12:18] <rico__> losinme, what would be responsible for that behavior?
[12:18] <losinme>  losinme: hal?
[12:18] <mrabbit> hello, can anybody recommend a good mac os x style dock for ubuntu
[12:18] <lui4> jordan /dev/hdb1
[12:18] <Newbie_Dude> Have you guys seen the "Lattice" screensaver? It's so amazing. :P
[12:18] <lui4> or just hdb
[12:18] <dawn`chorus> rico__, sure will.  ain't that cool!  :)
[12:18] <CppIsWeird> im having trouble running the alsa make file, i keep getting permission errors, and im running the make as sudo, the last error was: rm: cannot remove directory `/usr/include/sound': Permission denied
[12:18] <CppIsWeird> install: cannot change owner and/or group of `/usr/include/sound': Operation not permitted
[12:18] <CppIsWeird> install: cannot change ownership of `/usr/include/sound/version.h': Operation not permitted
[12:18] <rico__> hmm, okay
[12:19] <Jordan_U> lui4, sudo mkdir /media/hdb1 && sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1
[12:19] <losinme> CppIsWeird:  run as root
[12:19] <CppIsWeird> sudo is root, is it not?
[12:19] <rico__> what's hal? haha, pardon the ignorance. Hardware abstraction layer?
[12:19] <dawn`chorus> rico__, correct.
[12:19] <losinme> you are installing something aren't you?
[12:19] <Jordan_U> CppIsWeird, It's like you'r in a fakeroot
[12:19] <rico__> dawn`chorus,  and it's part of the kernel?
[12:19] <CppIsWeird> yes...
[12:19] <CppIsWeird> oh.
[12:20] <CppIsWeird> thats strange... how do i run as root then? su is disabled in feisty
[12:20] <losinme> CppIsWeird: sudo su
[12:20] <dawn`chorus> rico__, it interacts with the kernel, yes, so in that sense it's "part" of it.  but, really, it's its own daemon/program thingy.
[12:20] <Jordan_U> CppIsWeird, I don't mean that you are, it is just similar
[12:20] <CppIsWeird> LOL
[12:20] <rico__> ahh, I see.
[12:20] <CppIsWeird> omg, thats funny.
[12:20] <losinme> lol
[12:20] <lui4> jordan the first command works the second it complaints that i must give the filetype system
[12:21] <Jordan_U> lui4, Then: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /media/hdb1
[12:21] <Spaceman3750> CppIsWeird, you could try running from a root terminal
[12:21] <towlieban> if i install ubuntu on a system with 2GB ram, do i have to have a swap ?
[12:21] <maria_coto> maria_coto
[12:21] <dawn`chorus> towlieban, not really, but I wou.d.
[12:21] <cotyrothery> Jordan_U: i cant seem to find my wifi max in the settings
[12:21] <maria_coto> hola
[12:21] <CppIsWeird> no... im getting a new error, not related to permissions.
[12:22] <losinme> towlieban: listen to dawn .. you really probably won't, but just in case
[12:22] <lui4> jordan em it gives some error
[12:22] <ramseize> can anyone help me? how will i know if any wireless lan is detected on my  ubuntu , coz in my network settings it has wireless lan, how  can i configure it to use adhoc connection to share internet connection with other laptop
[12:22] <lui4> it complaints the flag type is not correct
[12:22] <Jordan_U> lui4, Can you pastebin the error?
[12:22] <lui4> the -t part
[12:23] <maria_coto> ingles?
[12:23] <rico__> and hmm, anyone here know where i can get help setting up vmware? #vmware seems mostly idle today.
[12:24] <losinme> rico__:  use innotek virutal pc
[12:24] <lui4> jordan i got my ubuntu in the swedish language so i dont know how useful it would be for me to paste it
[12:24] <losinme> rico__:  it's so much easier/faster/nicer
[12:24] <Jordan_U> rico__, You can get VMware server from Ubuntu-commercial
[12:24] <ramseize> can anyone help me
[12:24] <losinme> rico__:  Sec
[12:24] <lui4> error superblock and /dev/hdb codepack missing
[12:25] <JayRoe> can someone tell me what I need to install in order to do a "make menuconfig"?
[12:25] <Jordan_U> ramseize, "Connect to other wireless network"
[12:25] <losinme> rico__:  http://www.virtualbox.org/
[12:25] <bullgard4> What is a 'key combo'? (e. g. in the sentence: "SysRq key is a 'magical' key combo you can hit which the kernel will respond to regardless of whatever else it is doing, unless it is completely locked up.)
[12:25] <rico__> losinme, can it access raw partitions, too?
[12:25] <ramseize> jordan_U  , im the server, how cani share internet conneection , i have no router so i must use adhoc, how will i do that
[12:26] <rico__> Jordan_U, yep, I tried that. I got vmware installed already. :)
[12:26] <losinme> rico__:  not a clue but it installs in 2 seconds so you could look
[12:26] <losinme> rico__:  are you running feisty/
[12:26] <rico__> yep, feisty.
[12:26] <CppIsWeird> anyone know where to go with this: http://pastebin.com/m76c7f1d    its a make error from alsa.
[12:26] <adrian_> u hago?
[12:26] <losinme> rico__:  sec
[12:27] <Newbie_Dude> bullgard4: a key combo is hitting a few keys at the same time
[12:27] <adrian_> hi
[12:27] <losinme> rico__:  http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_fawn_vmware_server_howto
[12:27] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, just a wild stab, but you may need the -dev package for alsa.
[12:27] <Newbie_Dude> bullgard4: for example CONTROL-C for copy is a key combo
[12:27] <angga> hello
[12:27] <angga> all
[12:27] <adrian_> could somebody help with a DVD-TV card?
[12:27] <losinme> rico__:  Sweet tutorial
[12:27] <angga> anybody here familiar with wifidog?
[12:27] <bullgard4> Newbie_Dude: Isn't  such a procedure called a 'key combination'?
[12:28] <adrian_> I don't known what model i should buy
[12:28] <Newbie_Dude> bullgard4: Yes, but "combo" is short for "combination"
[12:28] <angga> anybody here familiar with wifidog?
[12:28] <Jordan_U> CppIsWeird, Why are you compiling from source?
[12:28] <bullgard4> Newbie_Dude: Thank you very much for explaining.
[12:28] <rico__> losinme, hehe I found that guide, I had it installed already thanks to that one and other similar guides. my "problem" (but not really) is that I want to use my NTFS volumes (mounted in Ubuntu) from within the XP Pro guest os.
[12:28] <adrian_> Kworld tdt+analog. pci dvbt220
[12:28] <adrian_> HAUPPAGE WINTV HYBRID 1100 + FM PCI	
[12:28] <Newbie_Dude> Is there a way to add more workspaces? I'm addicted to this feature.
[12:28] <Jordan_U> CppIsWeird, And did you apt-get build-dep alsa?
[12:28] <adrian_> or a zappa card very very cheap
[12:29] <adrian_> zaapa, sorry
[12:29] <angga> need guidence with wifidog please
[12:29] <Jordan_U> Newbie_Dude, Of course :)
[12:29] <losinme> rico__:  Good luck
[12:29] <losinme> rico__:  :D
[12:29] <CppIsWeird> dawn, i dont see any alsa-dev
[12:29] <Jordan_U> Newbie_Dude, Right click the workspace manager at the bottom right
[12:29] <losinme>  i just need to get my laptops power button to bring up the shutdown menu again
[12:29] <losinme> heh
[12:29] <CppIsWeird> Jordan_U, because the current drivers arnt working, so im getting the latest.
[12:29] <Newbie_Dude> Between workspaces, stability, trippy screensavers, learning new things, and free applications, I am becoming an Ubuntu addict.
[12:30] <CppIsWeird> Jordan_U, no to the apt-get build-dep alsa
[12:30] <Newbie_Dude> Oh, and a friendly and helpful community, forgot that part. :)
[12:30] <Jordan_U> CppIsWeird, That will grab what you need for it to compile
[12:30] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, libasound2-dev
[12:30] <losinme> like how is this not a common problem
[12:30] <angga> anyone knows knows how to assigning custom login page for different nodes under wifidog?
[12:31] <rico__> haha, same here.
[12:31] <angga> u do?
[12:31] <rico__> I should actually be booting to Windows now to use Photoshop, but I'm too engrossed in setting up my new Ubuntu installation. :P
[12:31] <Frogzoo> Newbie_Dude: add a workspace switcher to your toolbar, then right click - have as many ws's as you like
[12:32] <cougem> hi i managed to get as far as clicking the update button in the update manager and accepted the conditions, but then i get an error message saying it failed to fetch 6 .gz files, and that its usually a network problem, but most are 404 errors, and then it halts.
[12:32] <losinme> angga:  HOW on earth to you think that is related to this channel?  Go look for help on WIFI DOG somewhere else
[12:32] <losinme> at least i'm asking channel related questions
[12:32] <losinme> geez
[12:32] <adrian_> somebody wanna help me?
[12:32] <adrian_> xD
[12:32] <losinme> too bad nobody knows how to get a friggin power button to work
[12:32] <losinme> no
[12:32] <losinme> :P
[12:32] <Newbie_Dude> @frogzoo, Jordan_U: thanks again
[12:32] <angga> yeah well the WIFI DOGs team didn't respond so came here to ask for some expertise
[12:32] <Jordan_U> Newbie_Dude, np, if you don't have an ati card and need to get more addicted try Compiz :)
[12:33] <bluestar> hi all
[12:33] <dawn`chorus> cougem, i believe the servers are having issues.  hence the 404's.  perhaps try a mirror.
[12:33] <CppIsWeird> so which do i do ? one or both?
[12:33] <cougem> how do i do that?
[12:34] <Newbie_Dude> Jordan_U: Compiz? Hmm, I'll google that now, and yes I don't have an ATI card. :) I'm going through the screensavers right now and tripping out, the fireworks one "Skyrocket" is amazing, lol.
[12:34] <losinme> okay i found where it links ctrl-alt-delete to log out menu
[12:34] <losinme> but i can't switch it to my power button
[12:34] <Jordan_U> Newbie_Dude, You think that is amazing :)
[12:34] <losinme> it just flashes at me
[12:34] <CppIsWeird> apt-get build-dep alsa fails.
[12:34] <Jordan_U> Newbie_Dude, Go to System -> Preferences -> Desktop Effects
[12:34] <Newbie_Dude> Jordan_U: I'm easily entertained, and don't burst my bubble I'm trying to get myself psyched for deleting Windows XP. xD
[12:35] <Jordan_U> CppIsWeird, It's probably just a meta-package then, try things like alsa-base
[12:35] <dawn`chorus> cougem, well, i guess we'd have to access ubuntu.com to find a mirror, too.  sorry.  :(
[12:35] <Newbie_Dude> @Jordan_U: Is that Desktop Effects thing safe? I keep seeing people coming in here and talking about how their computer exploded after turning it on.
[12:35] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, what sort of trouble you having w/ alsa?  sorry, didn't catch your problem.
[12:35] <cougem> oh ok, thanks
[12:35] <bluestar> i installed avast and i can see it installed in package manger but i do not know where i can start the program any idea?
[12:35] <losinme> where do i fnd the shortcut scheme file
[12:35] <adrian_> could somebody help with a DVD-TV card?????
[12:35] <losinme> where it stores the scheme
[12:35] <Jordan_U> Newbie_Dude, It depends on the system, I havn't had any problems with it on intel cards
[12:36] <dawn`chorus> cougem, it's a temporary thing. probably all good in a few days.
[12:36] <cougem> ok thanks!
[12:36] <adrian_> could somebody help with a DVD-TV card compatible with Feisty?????
[12:36] <CppIsWeird> Jordan_U, alsa-base is already installed. got libasound2-dev, same make error.
[12:36] <user101> guyz... where do i get gcc 4.2? it's not listed in synaptic :(
[12:36] <dawn`chorus> bluestar, try alt-f2: avast (or the program name, if you know it.)
[12:36] <Newbie_Dude> @Spaceman3750: Thank you, I can't respond because I am not registered.
[12:36] <losinme> why doesn't anybody here have a link to how to fix this problem
[12:36] <losinme> how is it not common
[12:37] <losinme> laptop-powerbutton not showing menu
[12:37] <Jordan_U> CppIsWeird, I meant build-dep alsa-base ( and any other packages that the drivers you are compiling might replace )
[12:37] <losinme> and for some reason keyboardshortcuts won't take my powerbutton as a key... it's looking at it like a special key like alt or osmething
[12:37] <Newbie_Dude> !register
[12:37] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[12:37] <CppIsWeird> Jordan_U, yeah, i just figured that out, installing...
[12:38] <losinme> i'm gonna snap
[12:38] <CppIsWeird> Jordan_U, same make error. :(
[12:38] <user101> guyz... where do i get gcc 4.2? it's not listed in synaptic :(
[12:38] <Newbie_Dude> losinme: This channel is very helpful, try back in an hour or so and maybe someone will know the answer to your question.
[12:38] <Jordan_U> Newbie_Dude, Try desktop effects, I want to be here when your windows start wobbl'n
[12:39] <dawn`chorus> user101, build-essential, i believe.
[12:39] <Newbie_Dude> AHAHAHAHAHAHA Jell-O
[12:39] <adhan> hello
[12:40] <Jordan_U> Newbie_Dude, Now enable the cube and press ctrl+alt+ drag your cursor
[12:40] <doublemint> would anyone be able to tell me how to remove the 'open with' entries, because I got rid of SciTE but it's still showing up there?
[12:40] <user101> thx...
[12:40] <adhan> hi
[12:40] <Newbie_Dude> Holy  cow
[12:40] <adhan> how to detect usb flashdrive ?
[12:40] <banlieue> I am quite holy
[12:40] <user101> btw... how can you be that stupid to remove libstdc6 ...
[12:40] <Jordan_U> Newbie_Dude, :)
[12:40] <user101> it autodetects, adhan
[12:41] <Newbie_Dude> @Spaceman3750: It says "no such nick/channel"
[12:41] <Newbie_Dude> Jordan_U: I love the effects but I just got really dizzy. >_<
[12:41] <Spaceman3750> Newbie_Dude: What does?
[12:42] <Newbie_Dude> Spaceman3750: [Error]  NickServe: No such nick/channel.
[12:42] <banlieue> try -e
[12:42] <Jordan_U> Newbie_Dude, Just wait for the next version of Ubuntu ;)
[12:42] <banlieue> nickserv
[12:42] <Spaceman3750> Newbie_Dude: Hmm....
[12:42] <Spaceman3750> Yeah, its NickServ, not NickServe
[12:42] <banlieue> it's not a serve, it's a serv(ice)
[12:42] <losinme> menu effects are for noobs
[12:42] <losinme> heh
[12:42] <user101> umm... guyz.. i just accidentally removed libstdc6... how can i get it back... it seems to have deleted every package manager in my system
[12:43] <Newbie_Dude> the menu effects made me nauseous so I had to turn them off, hehe
[12:43] <banlieue> the word noob is arguably for 'noobs'
[12:43] <losinme> lol
[12:43] <Spaceman3750> I tried turning them on, they crashed FireFox :(
[12:43] <Newbie_Dude> OK I will try to register that way, if it doesn't work I'll just use the URL the bot gave me
[12:43] <losinme> i was downloading at 300cps
[12:43] <losinme> before you knew what CLI was
[12:43] <user101> umm... guyz.. i just accidentally removed libstdc6... how can i get it back... it seems to have deleted every package manager in my system
[12:43] <Jordan_U> Newbie_Dude, And with that I bid you good night
[12:43] <Spaceman3750> I think my vid card could probably handle them, but I don't really wanna bother :P
[12:43] <losinme> user101: You're screwed, re install
[12:43] <losinme> ahahahahah
[12:43] <dudubs> I want a new menu as OpenSuSE menu in gnome... where i can get one for ubuntu ?
[12:43] <ny00123> Anyone who's tried Anjuta?
[12:44] <banlieue> losinme: you might want to behave while in here
[12:44] <Jordan_U> user101, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[12:44] <losinme> banlieue:  Oh yah?
[12:44] <losinme> banlieue:  why/
[12:44] <banlieue> losinme: because the channel seems to be without supervision, but it in fact is not
[12:44] <Newbie_Dude> I'm registered now, weird it didn't work the first time. Thanks guys.
[12:44] <rico__> hey, how do file associations work in Gnome? what if, say, I want .txt files to open with a certain app, how do I change that?
[12:44] <losinme> banlieue: What's your point?
[12:44] <banlieue> and misbehaving in the way you seem to be doing is hardly constructive, and surely will not go unnoticed
[12:44] <losinme> banlieue: wtf are you?
[12:44] <berent> how do you mount a usb disk
[12:44] <dudubs> Where i can download menu as novell in suse?
[12:44] <ny00123> In Anjuta, I've added cpp as source and h as headers to to a wxWidgets project, but it seems like the headers can't be found while compiling (everything managed by Anjuta).
[12:44] <adhan> hello
[12:45] <dawn`chorus> rico__, open File Browser and right click on one of the file types you want to change > properties > opens with.
[12:45] <losinme> banlieue: huh?
[12:45] <rico__> hmm, thank you. :)
[12:45] <dawn`chorus> berent, should do it automatically.  is it not?
[12:45] <losinme> banlieue: seriously stfu
[12:45] <berent> dawn`chorus : not doing
[12:45] <adhan> dawn chorus : i need your help please
[12:46] <[phear] 6stringkn> there a  compiz fusion channel?
[12:46] <dawn`chorus> berent, plug it in and check dmesg for it's partition label.
[12:46] <dawn`chorus> adhan, just ask your question into the channel.  :)
[12:46] <berent> dawn`chorus : not appearing in dmesg
[12:46] <user101> k... still got dpkg... can i do anything? :D
[12:46] <adhan> thanks
[12:46] <losinme> looks like most of the #ubuntu support left to go work for canonical
[12:46] <losinme> heh
[12:46] <losinme> just a few followers left
[12:46] <banlieue> _6StringKng_: should be #compiz-fusion
[12:47] <losinme> i had real hope
[12:47] <adhan> how to detect usb flashdrive ?
[12:47] <jeremyoutman> hi everyone.
[12:47] <Jordan_U> user101, Do you have the command "locate" ?
[12:47] <_6StringKng_> k, thanks banlieue
[12:47] <adhan> usually my flashdrive mount automatically
[12:47] <losinme> shit sht fuck
[12:47] <jeremyoutman> If you don't have permission to write to a certain file or folder on ubuntu how would you change it?
[12:47] <dawn`chorus> berent, could be wrong, but most times that means that your peice of hardware isnt' supported.
[12:48] <user101> yep. got locate
[12:48] <rico__> oh and does anyone know of an app I can use to play mp3 cue sheets? aside from xmms and amarok.
[12:48] <netyire> Can somebody please help me with some usb mount problems
[12:48] <berent> dawn`chorus : how do i test it if it's not damaged
[12:48] <Newbie_Dude> OK, I'll try to help you google the problem losinme. Lemme google around a little, I'm sure someone has had the same problem.
[12:48] <CppIsWeird> anyone know where to go with this: http://pastebin.com/m76c7f1d    its a make error from alsa.
[12:48] <dawn`chorus> berent, the only way I know of is too .... try it in Windows.  :(
[12:48] <Jordan_U> user101, OK, you need to find the apt .deb from your apt-cache
[12:48] <jatt> CppIsWeird: download alsa from the repos
[12:48] <adhan> Can somebody please help me with some usb mount problem
[12:48] <losinme> Newbie_Dude:  it's okay, i just wanted to see if there was actually anyone maintaining this channel, it's just full of noobs now, seriously, anyone who was help and made this channel work all work for canonical, and have sold out
[12:49] <losinme> ubuntu is dead to me
[12:49] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, what's going on w/ alsa?  why you need to compile?

[12:49] <netyire> There is this USB card reader that works like a usb thumb drive. When it works, and is unmounted, it fails after that
[12:50] <CppIsWeird> dawn, i've been asking that in this room for two weeks... i really dont care to waste my time explaining it again.
[12:50] <Jordan_U> user101, You can recover!
[12:50] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, i understand.
[12:50] <jatt> CppIsWeird: 2 weeks! It is easier to install alsa from the repos.
[12:50] <adhan> netyire, can you solve the problem ?
[12:50] <Newbie_Dude> On some computers the power key is controlled through the BIOS...
[12:50] <jatt> CppIsWeird: alsa works out of the box
[12:50] <CppIsWeird> jatt, apparently not.
[12:50] <berent> can't talk on skype : says problem with sound device : why?
[12:51] <jatt> CppIsWeird: it is, try it

[12:51] <Jordan_U> user101, All you need is the .deb for apt which you can find on your system or download from packages.ubuntu.com
[12:51] <adhan> netyire, do you have any idea ?
[12:51] <robsomebody> anyone got a mac? with some time to kill?

[12:52] <adhan> my flashdrive doesnt detect too
[12:52] <SlimeyPete> Ubuntu's version of ALSA doesn't play nicely with a lot of "HD audio" stuff, eg realtek HDA or intel HDA.
[12:52] <robsomebody> (like 5 min's)
[12:52] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, what sound card?
[12:52] <netyire> adhan, well restarting may not fix the problem, the thing may be like a work now don't work latter kind of situation :)
[12:52] <robsomebody> ALSA works fine w/ realtek
[12:52] <Jordan_U> user101, Then dpkg -i whatever.deb && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[12:52] <jeremyoutman> Hey, how would you right to a file or folder on ubuntu if you don't have permission.
[12:52] <berent> Spaceman3750 ; what?
[12:52] <Jordan_U> user101, Your system will be back just like it was
[12:52] <Newbie_Dude> I have an ASUS board with "NVIDIA" stuffs on it. Haven't had sound since I installed Ubuntu.

[12:53] <Jordan_U> robsomebody, I am using a mac now... why?
[12:53] <Spaceman3750> berent: I guess that is a yes that the sound device is configured correctly :P
[12:53] <SlimeyPete> robsomebody: doesn't work for me with my realtek HDA. The latest ALSA migt, but I've not got around to trying it.

[12:54] <robsomebody> Jordan_U, lol
[12:54] <SlimeyPete> "
[12:54] <robsomebody> Jordan_U, yes, i do now
[12:54] <SlimeyPete> but googling suggests it is a realtek chipset
[12:54] <netyire> adhan, manual mounting states that the device is already mounted on /. umount fails due to device being busy. dmesg has lots of errors. :(
[12:54] <robsomebody> Jordan_U, using firefox too
[12:54] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, try that.  and reboot.
[12:54] <Jordan_U> robsomebody, :)
[12:54] <robsomebody> @ 1680 x whatever
[12:54] <jatt> CppIsWeird: I would buy an external USB sound card and get over it. I mean you already wasted two (2) weeks building the thing!

[12:55] <xst> Does anyone know approximately when xorg7.3 is implemented into gutsy?
[12:55] <CppIsWeird> dawn`chorus, what exactly does that do?
[12:55] <Newbie_Dude> *lol* I went into Sound Preference, next to Sound playback: it says "Autodetect" I hit the "Test" button and the Sound Preference panel crashed!
[12:55] <n3o> hey / SALUT
[12:56] <axos88> does the ubuntu installer include the atl1 driver?
[12:56] <robsomebody> Newbie_Dude, sounds like problem
[12:56] <robsomebody> Newbie_Dude, what kind of sound chipset?
[12:56] <adhan> netyire ?
[12:56] <Jordan_U> robsomebody, The flash animation overlaps badly but I am using beta flash player
[12:56] <Spaceman3750> Newbie_Dude: That's better than wearing a headset and then having a very loud beeping noise in your ear ;)
[12:56] <Newbie_Dude> @robsomebody: Errr, CMEDIA I think(?) -- ASUS board, NVIDIA chipset
[12:56] <Spaceman3750> Newbie_Dude: I had that happen to me :P
[12:56] <netyire> adhan, hold on...
[12:56] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, it's the magic.  :)  no.  it just adds an option to your alsa configuration that may fix it.  it's helped me in the past.  i have one other thing you can try, if that doesn't work.
[12:56] <robsomebody> Jordan_U, yeah, flash is still being "possitioned" its supposed to overlap in some areas
[12:57] <netyire> okay
[12:57] <foof> Anyone know what package otool is in?
[12:57] <robsomebody> Newbie_Dude, did you check forums? the come in handy for specific hardware issues
[12:57] <CppIsWeird> dawn`chorus, okie dokie... if this works, im gonna be kinda pissed at the 300megs of crap i just installed trying to compile the drivers. :P

[12:58] <Newbie_Dude> @robsomebody: OK, I made progress. I switched one of the options to "USB Audio" and it blasted my ears with a loud tone
[12:58] <robsomebody> lol
[12:58] <HEP85>  hi @ all
[12:58] <HEP85>  I got some problem with Beryl. Could somebody please help me?
[12:58] <HEP85>  The problem is that beryl hangs at "Reloading options"
[12:58] <HEP85>  This means wobbly windows and window borders are working, but no rotating cube for example
[12:58] <robsomebody> Newbie_Dude, you have usb audio?
[12:58] <adhan> netyire, at the tab storage
[12:58] <Newbie_Dude> @robsomebody: I don't think I do, but it was the only option that blasted me with a loud tone.
[12:58] <robsomebody> does anyone know if i can run beryl on dual head?
[12:59] <netyire> adhan, okay
[12:59] <adhan> netiire remark the sign
[12:59] <netyire> adhan, the sign?
[12:59] <robsomebody> Newbie_Dude, does alsa load fine?
[12:59] <adhan> mount removable drives when pulled out
[12:59] <Newbie_Dude> @robsomebody: how do i check? :P I am copying an MP3 off my iPod right now and gonna try to play it
[01:00] <rambo3> robsomebody, as in twinview or 2 separate desktops . anyway i think it works for both
[01:00] <HEP85> @robsomebodo: there is an option for dual-head. so it should work
[01:00] <Jordan_U> robsomebody, I normally wouldn't trust a random link to an ip addy, but I am tired and un-paranoid at the moment
[01:00] <robsomebody> rambo3, actuall, xinerma or whatever its called, 1 desktop 2 screens, 2 cards
[01:00] <Newbie_Dude> Weird, I tried to import an MP3 and I got the error "The GStreamer plugin to decode "MP3" files cannot be found
[01:00] <eifzon> how shall i install ubuntu as alternate cd?
[01:01] <eifzon> how shall i format the disks

[01:01] <dawn`chorus> eifzon, ext3
[01:01] <CppIsWeird> dawn`chorus, that made it worse... my computer doesnt even pretend to have sound anymore. i click on the sound icon at the top and get a huge error message about how i dont have GStreamer
[01:01] <eifzon> dawn`chorus: okok, i tried LVM, it seems wierd
[01:01] <eifzon> brb, need to reinstall then :<z
[01:01] <robsomebody> Jordan_U, i only log arbitrary data, the ip is just to seperate stuff so i can do statistics later
[01:01] <foof> thanks guys, but none of the searches seem to turn up anything... neither in packages or forums
[01:01] <BlendArt> anyone use gpg?
[01:02] <robsomebody> Newbie_Dude, i would say restart the alsa daemon
[01:02] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, most likely that's come about via your compiling adventures, not a simple options appendage.
[01:02] <gerro> I'm trying to install ubuntu server 6.06 and after I configure keyboard type it says it can't mount the cdrom?
[01:02] <foof> but ldd on amd64 is just a script that calls otool
[01:02] <foof> ... which isn't even installed
[01:02] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, but you can always remove it.  sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and delte the last line.
[01:03] <CppIsWeird> dawn`chorus, nothing successfully compiled, so how?
[01:03] <robsomebody> Newbie_Dude, ok, double check everything is hooked up right, (humor me, check the plugs and all)
[01:03] <gerro> CppIsWeird: so install gstreamer?
[01:03] <adhan>  gerro, try to shutdown your PC for 5 minutes and try to install again
[01:03] <robsomebody> BE SURE
[01:03] <gerro> adhan: what will that do?
[01:03] <Newbie_Dude> @robsomebody: A loud tone came out, so I assume that it is plugged in OK, and yes I checked the plugs again.
[01:03] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, have you tried this howto?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[01:03] <robsomebody> godamnit
[01:03] <CppIsWeird> yes
[01:04] <CppIsWeird> i've tried about 15
[01:04] <robsomebody> Newbie_Dude, ok, loud tones can come from power cables too, so u never know
[01:04] <neasteflorin> hello
[01:04] <CppIsWeird> i have sounds (well not anymore, thanks) when i first boot up, they just stop working very shortly afterwards.
[01:04] <robsomebody> Newbie_Dude, u did put it back to auto detect right?
[01:05] <Newbie_Dude> @robsomebody: No, I left it on USB Audio
[01:05] <Newbie_Dude> @robsomebody: I just need to find a sound now to test if real sound comes out or not :P
[01:05] <HEP85> I just figured out that when I start Beryl using sudo it works right
[01:05] <adhan> bye all
[01:05] <HEP85> When I start it with user permissions it hangs a reloading options
[01:05] <robsomebody> Newbie_Dude, you should have heard sounds @ startup unless you changed it
[01:06] <dawn> how do i improve my screen resolution in ubuntu 7.04?
[01:06] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, i told you how to remove that little option.  so stop complaining.  perhaps try out a livecd of another distro, to see if any distro supports your sound card.
[01:06] <rambo3> HEP85, as user , did you check errors in syslog or dmesg ?
[01:06] <redhat9> is there any virtual appliances for the latest ubuntu version??
[01:06] <rambo3> HEP85, as user , did you check errors in some beryl log
[01:06] <robsomebody> dawn, in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[01:08] <CppIsWeird> no sound.
[01:08] <rambo3> redhat9, what's that ?

[01:09] <CppIsWeird> oh, well for one i have to remove that setting.
[01:09] <HEP85> no other log messages. just hanging at "Reloading options"
[01:09] <CppIsWeird> how do i do that dawn`chorus ?
[01:09] <feesh> dawn`chorus: under custom filters?
[01:09] <robsomebody> hmmmmmm
[01:09] <dawn`chorus> feesh, shouldn't be "custom" no.
[01:09] <feesh> oh ... bugger
[01:09] <BlendArt> anyone use gpg?
[01:09] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.  it'll be the very last line.
[01:09] <feesh> dawn`chorus: cheers dude, just needed to make one of my own, thanks alot!
[01:10] <dawn`chorus> feesh, you're welcome.
[01:11] <HEP85> maybe there is a faulty option. where are the beryl settings saved?
[01:11] <_6StringKng_> anyone using AWM?
[01:11] <gerro> HEP85: you still use beryl?
[01:12] <_6StringKng_> AWN***
[01:12] <HEP85> @gerro: what else? compiz?
[01:12] <BlendArt> anyone use gpg?
[01:12] <_6StringKng_> yeah, could someon tellme whats so much better about compiz fusion, does it run better, etc?
[01:12] <gerro> HEP85: beryl remerged with compiz, the latest svn has all the beryl stuff
[01:12] <redhat9> rambo3 : im using vmware (virtual machines) to run linux in window vista. i just want to know if there is latest version of ubuntu virtual appliances
[01:13] <SlimeyPete> _6StringKng_: what's better is that it's not a dead project ;)
[01:13] <gerro> _6StringKng: well I noticed I could run all applications on compiz without that xgl server and weird configuration files. no odd shading glitches too
[01:13] <_6StringKng_> well thats true
[01:13] <SlimeyPete> though I still use beryl at the moment
[01:13] <gerro> _6StringKng: but perhaps I setup beryl wrong :/
[01:13] <_6StringKng_> I use beryl just for the themes
[01:13] <gerro> _6StringKng: I never tried compiz because it wouldn't work
[01:13] <_6StringKng_> ah
[01:13] <_6StringKng_> what video card you have?
[01:13] <rambo3> redhat9, ok like ubuntu vmware image. no i don't know .
[01:14] <gerro> _6StringKng: some new nvidia one, the compiz-fusion works though
[01:14] <_6StringKng_> ah
[01:14] <SlimeyPete> there might be an image on freeoszoo ?
[01:14] <HEP85> I can switch to compiz using beryl-manager
[01:14] <_6StringKng_> yeah compiz fusion is pretty cool
[01:15] <Newbie_Dude> Have you guys seen the screensavers? :P Lattice is pretty awesome... Flying through an infinite ring of sprinkled doughnuts.
[01:15] <gerro> so anyone know why my computer fails to mount the cdrom during ubuntu install?
[01:15] <usuario> lucas
[01:15] <berent> Newbie_Dude: what's your age?
[01:15] <usuario> k tal
[01:15] <redhat9> rambo3 : i only could find virtual appliances of ubuntu 7.04 server edition, but is there any difference between the server edition comparing with the desktop edition?
[01:15] <usuario> age yes
[01:15] <gerro> strange every debian based distro fails to mount cdrom during install but every other distro works :(
[01:15] <Newbie_Dude> @berent: ......No matter what I answer I'll get dissed for enjoying screensavers. >_<
[01:16] <dawn`chorus> CppIsWeird, behaving?
[01:16] <berent> Newbie_Dude: that wasn't my intention
[01:16] <Newbie_Dude> 25
[01:16] <jatt> Newbie_Dude: usually I don't see the screensavers because they are activated when I am not near the computer and when I come back there is lots to do so I don't pay attention to them :)
[01:16] <rambo3> redhat9, no desktop meta package. only ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard
[01:16] <CppIsWeird> dawn`chorus, minor, one i had options before that, and i was booting in kernel 386 (i was reaching) your option may have fixed it... so far so good, but i've had it last for quite some time once before.
[01:16] <Newbie_Dude> Sorry it's just I'm excited about all these new Ubuntu things and my gf doesn't care about it so I have to bounce it off someone.
[01:16] <dawn`chorus> gerro, arch linux gives me mad stress over sr0.  :/
[01:16] <recoy^> Hello!
[01:17] <CppIsWeird> dawn`chorus,  not to mention it sounds alot better then when it was working before. so my fingers are crossed. Thanks.
[01:17] <redhat9> rambo3 : sorry, im new, what the difference between the minimal and standard?
[01:17] <berent> Newbie_Dude: gf is not the only best thing to discuss in the world . Just a misnomer which every 20-30 guy has to take
[01:18] <CppIsWeird> while im at it, is there any advantage to using the 386 kernel over generic?
[01:18] <gerro> dawn`chorus: does that have anything to do with my mounting problem? sorry hard to keep up using mIRC my main comp (xubuntu) died I think

[01:19] <dawn`chorus> gerro, not sure why you're not able to mount cdrom.
[01:20] <dawn`chorus> gerro, i think my problem is the cdrom itself.
[01:20] <gerro> dawn`chorus: oh its not me that's unable to mount it, its the ubuntu-server 6.06 install cd that is unable to
[01:20] <HEP85> re
[01:20] <gerro> dawn`chorus: if I can get it installed don't really care if cdrom doesn't work :)

[01:22] <gerro> dawn`chorus: well its a really old comp so I thought 6.06 for stability seeing as most hardware probably already supported
[01:22] <gerro> dawn`chorus: its also trying to install in low memory mode with 60.5mb ram
[01:22] <miguelito> hey
[01:22] <miguelito> is there a way to see a list of all people in here?
[01:22] <lingga> someone help me please
[01:22] <recoy^> does anyone know anything about wine for amd64?
[01:22] <HEP85> @lingga: System-->Settings-->Desktop Effects
[01:22] <SlimeyPete> miguelito:  type /names
[01:22] <miguelito> thanks
[01:23] <gerro> dawn`chorus: I think I tried 7.04 alternate cd and it had same issue
[01:23] <lingga> I got error msg that composition not available
[01:23] <SlimeyPete> lingga: ask in #ubuntu-effects
[01:23] <HEP85> @lingga: but if you want all effects you should install beryl or compiz fusion packages
[01:23] <dawn`chorus> gerro, so you can't install from a cdrom?  is that right?
[01:24] <gerro> lingga: add Option Composition "1" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf I think... might want to look up exactly what to put
[01:24] <cdiddy> i had the same problem
[01:24] <redhat9> rambo3 : where do i find drivers and software for ubuntu?
[01:24] <eboxnet> hello
[01:24] <dawn`chorus> !hi | eboxnet
[01:24] <ubotu> eboxnet: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:24] <gerro> dawn`chorus: it boots the cd but somewhere into the install it says it can't mount the cdrom
[01:24] <SlimeyPete> redhat9: use Add/REove Programs or go to System -> Administrion -> Synaptic
[01:24] <lingga> what should I put on "Driver" directive
[01:24] <Newbie_Dude> To play MP3s I need the "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" from Symantic?
[01:25] <gerro> dawn`chorus: I don't think my bios supports a usb install
[01:25] <redhat9> SlimeyPete: Thank you.
[01:25] <gerro> dawn`chorus: I've managed to install damnsmall linux on that computer however I really really like ubuntu :)
[01:26] <dawn`chorus> gerro, you should look into ftp install.  does your comp give a more specific error?  sometimes they'll print on tty4.  press alt-f4 while installing.  maybe you'll get a clue.
[01:26] <SlimeyPete> Newbie_Dude: yeah. Load Synaptic, enable all of the repositories in the preferences menus, and then reload your package lists. You should find that the mp3 codecs are available in the list.
[01:26] <miguelito> What is easier to do in Linux than in Windows?
[01:26] <dawn`chorus> Rule the world.
[01:26] <gerro> dawn`chorus: ooh thanks will try that, what do you mean ftp install? like network or tftp?
[01:26] <miguelito> haha
[01:27] <dawn`chorus> gerro, yes. network install.
[01:27] <gerro> dawn`chorus: I was going to try ubuntu 6.06 instlux install however running it on damnsmall linux proved to be difficult some python errors
[01:27] <gerro> dawn`chorus: how would I do that? I tried a guide before but it didn't work
[01:29] <dawn`chorus> gerro, pull out the hdd and install ubuntu in it from the comp that works.  :)
[01:30] <miguelito> How much better or fuller is Red Hat?
[01:30] <dawn`chorus> HAHAHAHA
[01:30] <dawn`chorus> miguelito, like ... ZERO
[01:30] <skollie> miguelito: what do you mean?
[01:31] <miguelito> I heard Red Hat comes with more features.
[01:32] <gerro> dawn`chorus: I was thinking about trying that, but its so damned dusty!!!
[01:32] <skollie> miguelito: perhaps RHE does, but are you looking for anything in particular?
[01:32] <BlendArt> anyone use gpg?
[01:32] <gerro> dawn`chorus: that and my desktop comp broke I think
[01:32] <dawn`chorus> goodness.
[01:32] <miguelito> Programming
[01:33] <gerro> dawn`chorus: it gives this rapid series of beeps, and I can't use mouse or keyboard even to get at bios or login
[01:33] <mrabbit> does anybody have the gtk+ 2.1.x mac menubar patch?
[01:33] <eifzon> What linux-headers shall i use? i did install ubuntu from alternate cd
[01:33] <dawn`chorus> gerro, sounds like your motherboard is frizzly fried.
[01:33] <gerro> eifzon: first run update manager then get linux headers because it will get newer kernel
[01:34] <skollie> miguelito: not sure how using RH will help you with programming any more than any other distro
[01:34] <gerro> dawn`chorus: zomg don't say that!! ;_;
[01:34] <HEP85> w00t! Deleted the beryl settings file and it's working again!
[01:34] <dawn`chorus> gerro, hope not.  take it to a shop and have them test it.
[01:35] <miguelito> Oh ok thanks.  I am asking because my cousin was telling me about some stuff.  He has a degree in computer technology.
[01:35] <gerro> dawn`chorus: I'm going to try resetting bios by removing cmos first, maybe that will fix peripheral detection in bios..
[01:35] <eifzon> When i am trying to install linux-kernel-headers i get E: Package linux-kernel-headers has no installation candidate
[01:35] <eifzon> maybe the ubuntu updater installed that?
[01:35] <miguelito> How do you talk to one person?
[01:35] <kbrooks> hmm.
[01:36] <kbrooks> miguelito, in private?
[01:36] <dawn`chorus> miguelito, /msg person message
[01:36] <Newbie_Dude> @miguelito You need to register first. !register
[01:36] <skollie> miguelito: you have to register first
[01:36] <Newbie_Dude> !register | miguelito
[01:36] <ubotu> miguelito: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[01:36] <kbrooks> Newbie_Dude, skollie: no
[01:36] <miguelito> How do I register?
[01:36] <kbrooks> stop lying
[01:36] <gerro> dawn`chorus: its so strange though I was using it then went to bathroom and came back little bro had comp all locked up :(
[01:36] <kbrooks> miguelito, you can communicate to nonregisterred users if you arent registered
[01:37] <dawn`chorus> gerro, it making noises is a good sign.  little brothers are good at tearing stuff up.  much better than little sisters.
[01:37] <fuerte> ola a todos
[01:37] <kbrooks> miguelito, but if a registered user does not set things up you cant pm them

[01:39] <VSpike> I'm trying to use X11 forwarding via SSH, and I can't get it to work.  I'm coming from a WIndows machine, and I know things are basically good.  I'm using XMing X server. If I use XMings XLaunch and let it start ssh itself, then it works fine.  But when I try to use my own ssh line, it fails with "connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: Connection refused" and then "X connection to localhost:10.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)."

[01:42] <HEP85> @VSpike: I don't know what you mean with your own ssh line
[01:42] <VSpike> The line I'm using is "ssh -Y -C -L 25:192.168.0.2:25 -L 993:192.168.0.2:993 user@host"
[01:42] <fuerte> vale ok
[01:42] <VSpike> HEP85: I mean starting ssh myself in a terminal rather than letting the XLaunch program start it for me
[01:42] <HEP85> you need to add X as options for X11 forwarding
[01:43] <VSpike> HEP85: I thought -Y did the same only morse so?
[01:43] <fuerte> no se pici a si k ablo con tigo a una cosa tu eres espaola o inglesa

[01:51] <Newbie_Dude> erUSUL: Thank you

[01:51] <rico__> hey, I'm trying to compile something and it complains with an error, "gcc cannot create executables." what gives?
[01:51] <Ace2016> Hi all
[01:51] <erUSUL> rico__: install build-essentials
[01:52] <Ace2016> anyone know an app which can do find and replace in multiple files???
[01:52] <kbrooks> sudo <your username> xauth
[01:52] <casual_moron> hi, im fairly new to linux, so please forgive me if im overly retarded, but i've just upgraded from the lts to the current version (on a fairly elderly laptop i've been using to try out ubuntu with) and it looks like the wifi drivers for it arnt included in the new version any more (the device driver its showing up says prism 2.5 wavelan, but in the networking section it lists it as a wired connection rather than a wireless one)
[01:52] <IdleOne> rico__, sudo apt-get build-essential    no s
[01:52] <erUSUL> Ace2016: a combination of grep and sed with a little shell script to glue it all?? or an awk script
[01:52] <Ace2016> :o
[01:53] <casual_moron> i've looked up what im fairly sure is the right chipset, and im reading through the readme on it, but the make command it says isn't listed
[01:53] <kbrooks> casual_moron, uh. yes, it shows up, also. it is a wireless one, but network manager sees a wired connection only
[01:54] <erUSUL> Ace2016: sed -e 's/find/replace/' file1 > file2  will replace all instances of find with replace in file1 and store the resulting file in file2
[01:54] <casual_moron> is it just using the wrong drivers or something and i need to just reinstall the right ones, or is it perhaps something more borked?
[01:54] <Ace2016> oh cool
[01:54] <bobsomebody> "Unable to open printcap file /etc/printcap for read! "  (Any ideas)

[02:03] <sanrag> hi, need a little help
[02:04] <sanrag> even after connecting headphones my laptop speakers continue to gunction
[02:04] <sanrag> *function
[02:04] <sanrag> how do i stop this
[02:05] <RGautier> Can someone send me a PM (testing)
[02:05] <LucianIndy> are there any terminals like kuake that are designed for gnome rather than kde
[02:05] <skollie> sanrag: I think if you mute, your speakers will be quiet but the headphones will work. That's what it does on my HP Compaq anyway
[02:05] <LucianIndy> excluding Tilda
[02:05] <DJ-_-> how do I recover deleted files in ubuntu? any GUI?
[02:05] <sanrag> skollie: it does not eork
[02:06] <sanrag> *work
[02:06] <LucianIndy> DJ-_-, you could search System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager for Data Recovery Utilities
[02:06] <DJ-_-> ok gimme a sex
[02:06] <skollie> sanrag: have you checked your mixer settings?
[02:06] <LucianIndy> DJ-_-, unless of coarse you haven't removed them from the recycle bin, in that case, you could simply restore them from the bin
[02:07] <Fragged> #computerlinuxboobs
[02:07] <DJ-_-> LucianIndy: na, just making myself ready incase i do something like that
[02:07] <bobsomebody> soooo #ubuntu, tell me, how do i send arbitrary packets to an ip from and to specific port(s)?
[02:07] <jatt> Fragged: #computerlinuxboobs ?
[02:07] <sanrag> skollie, mixer settings are alright
[02:07] <Fragged> quite obviously
[02:07] <Fragged> the...best....room....

[02:08] <bobsomebody> someone nmaped me @ port 3117
[02:08] <wagner_BR_SE> ok, thanks
[02:08] <bobsomebody> and i lol'ed
[02:08] <LucianIndy> whats ntfs-3g
[02:08] <DJ-_-> LucianIndy: i did not get anything for the topic i was looking for? any GUI tools you may know of?
[02:08] <LucianIndy> DJ-_-, not off the top of my head
[02:08] <ferret> wagner_BR_SE: basically install, add '-3g' to the end of your ntfs entries in fstab.
[02:09] <bobsomebody> well, i guess nmap, dport was 80
[02:09] <DJ-_-> LucianIndy: ah k
[02:09] <wagner_BR_SE> ok
[02:09] <ferret> wagner_BR_SE: (or something like that... check the docs.  There shouldn't be more steps than that though)
[02:09] <LucianIndy> DJ-_-, do this search in the terminal             apt-cache search data | grep recovery
[02:09] <DJ-_-> ok
[02:09] <LucianIndy> the MONDO package is what you may be looking for
[02:10] <LucianIndy> or the package gddrescue (more info about it at apt-cache show gddrescue)
[02:11] <xy77> Has anybody a working 56k PCI modem in his/her machine? What model is it?

[02:35] <Terabyte> Hello, I am having problems triple booting XP, Vista, Ubuntu 704. The order of instalation was XP, Vista, Ubuntu. I have reached 94% of the instalation of ubuntu, and it says "executing grub failed, this is a fatal error" Can anybody help me here?
[02:36] <rohan> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: ah, ok .. thanks
[02:36] <rohan> Terabyte: just ignore the error and let the installation complete .. after that we'll walk through the grub configuration
[02:37] <rohan> Terabyte: but _dont_ restart your computer
[02:37] <rajat> but it is not present in init.d
[02:37] <Terabyte> Thankyou rohan, I shall reattempt the installation now. :)
[02:37] <rohan> Terabyte: ouch, no don't do that ..
[02:38] <rohan> Terabyte: the installation is complete, it's ok ..
[02:38] <xy77> Who is using a dial-up connection via 56k modem?
[02:38] <Terabyte> Sorry, I was already half way, it's ok I've already done it twice now :)
[02:38] <rohan> Terabyte: lol
[02:38] <rohan> Terabyte: i guess the vista bootloader confuses grub .
[02:39] <rohan> and as it is, grub installation from within the installer is BORKED for many people
[02:39] <Terabyte> rohan: Heh, perhaps, Although when I have existed the failed ubuntu installation, my vista and XP installs were still intact (using vista bootloader)
[02:41] <rohan> Terabyte: basically you need to chroot into it and setup grub

[02:42] <rohan> CHTboy: the cd is not burnt properly
[02:43] <Terabyte> rohan: I see, I will be back in 10 minutes when this installation finishes :) Thanks for your help so far.
[02:43] <rohan> CHTboy: that's one of the diagnoses
[02:43] <rohan> Terabyte: no problem :)
[02:43] <CHTboy> rohan the cd work on my virtual pc
[02:44] <rohan> CHTboy: oh .. then on startup pass the parameter "apic=off" ?
[02:44] <ryuk> kk i seem to be getting a problem with playback of avi files in both totem-gstreamer and vlc, i have uploaded the nice pretty images of the output im gettin here http://imagestore.ugbox.net/image/Screenshot_ebb046fc922ed.jpg and here http://imagestore.ugbox.net/image/Screenshot_6db28a.jpg the first one is totem, the other is VLC. what i want to know is does anyone have any ideas why this may be happeing and how it could be fixed?? thanks a
[02:44] <ryuk> ll
[02:44] <rohan> eifzon: why did you use nvidia-settings ? you could've used ubuntu restricted manager !
[02:44] <PirateLeChuck> whoops, i just kileld my ubuntu install ;(
[02:45] <CHTboy> i gonna try,
[02:45] <eifzon> rohan: i wanted the newest drivers
[02:45] <rohan> eifzon: can you paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:45] <xy77> C'mon, who knows someone who's using a 56k modem with ubuntu?
[02:45] <eifzon> rohan: 1min
[02:45] <PirateLeChuck> i ran fsck and it complained about this being seriously hazardous to the health of my system so i did it anyway of course and now i get an error 17 when trying to boot
[02:45] <PyroKay> hey y'all
[02:46] <ryuk> xy77, i tried it in 6.06.. it was horrible.. really really horrible.. unless u can keep up to date
[02:46] <PirateLeChuck> anyone know how to resolve this?
[02:46] <xy77> ryuk up to date with what?
[02:46] <ryuk> xy77, 'the distribution updates
[02:47] <ryuk> xy77, so things like application updates etc.. it was evil having 200mb up updates appearing to download
[02:48] <eifzon> rohan: http://pastebin.ca/617677
[02:48] <xy77> ryuk: won't be necessary. It's for a friend of mine who's got no broadband connection but I can update his pc once in a while, since he lives next door. I'm just trying to find a working modem.
[02:49] <rohan> eifzon: is the nvidia kernel module loaded ?
[02:49] <ryuk> then yea.. if u set it up on your comp (ie updates drivers if needed etc) then it should be fine for most things, i cant rem how i set up the modem, but it was reasonably easy from memory..
[02:49] <eifzon> rohan: how do i se
[02:49] <xy77> ryuk do you remember which model it was?
[02:49] <rohan> eifzon: paste the output of lsmod
[02:50] <eifzon> rohan: ok
[02:50] <eifzon> rohan: do i have to have the "nvidia" on?
[02:50] <ryuk> xy77, i think i used a few different models (my comp was goin from house to house) ad yea they all seemed to work. the modem drivers seemed pretty generic so they should recognise most modems
[02:51] <tyn0r> hi, can i paste folders in fonts:/// ? or just ttf workz ?
[02:51] <rohan> eifzon: err.. can you just try "sudo modprobe nvidia" ? does that give an error ?
[02:51] <eifzon> rohan: it do not do an error
[02:51] <rohan> eifzon: can you see if "dmesg | tail" gives an error ?
[02:51] <eifzon> no error
[02:52] <xy77> ryuk: this might be true for non-softmodems, but I couldn't find a list of working ones. Trying to make smartlink modems or the like work is just evil.
[02:52] <eifzon> look, i installed ubuntu just from the alt cd, then i download the nvidia driver from nvidia.com, then it worked until i rebooted
[02:52] <ikonia> eifzon why are you using the driver from nvidia.com ?
[02:52] <rohan> eifzon: oh, after rebooting it doesn't work ?
[02:53] <eifzon> ikonia: yes
[02:53] <ikonia> eifzon "why" are you using the driver from nvidia.com ?
[02:53] <eifzon> rohan: i did try using compiz-fusion
[02:53] <ryuk> xy77, lol.. yea never tried for soft modems.. i found my standard one just fine.. but that was a while ago..
[02:53] <eifzon> ikonia: its newest?
[02:53] <ikonia> eifzon its also not supported
[02:53] <ikonia> eifzon newest is also not the best
[02:53] <eifzon> okok
[02:53] <hollowman777> .
[02:53] <eifzon> I am using a GeForce 7950GT 512MB card
[02:53] <rohan> eifzon: you should use the desktop cd, and the driver that's included in there
[02:54] <ikonia> eifzon that should be supported under the driver in the ubuntu repo
[02:54] <eifzon> soo ikonia, shall i get the: "apt-get install nvidia-glx-new"?
[02:54] <ikonia> eifzon well you'll have to remove the junk you've installed first
[02:54] <eifzon> how?
[02:54] <ikonia> eifzon use rm - you should have thought about that before putting random things on your system
[02:54] <ubuntu> hello
[02:54] <kbrooks> casual__moron, yes. you can do that on the command line. GUI works but it's not like press search and get a list.
[02:55] <eifzon> gah ill reinstall comp
[02:55] <eifzon> br
[02:55] <eifzon> b:P
[02:55] <casual__moron> ah right, thanks kbrooks
[02:55] <kbrooks> casual__moron, do you know the command?
[02:56] <casual__moron> no, i dont suppose you have it do you (im only just starting out with ubuntu im afraid)
[02:56] <CHTboy> the command apic=off not work
[02:57] <kbrooks> casual__moron, well, first you use iwconfig to find the interface that has wireless extensions
[02:57] <Terabyte> Rohan: I have reached the error message, what should I do now?
[02:57] <kbrooks> casual__moron, and then you key that interface into iwlist <interface> scanning
[02:57] <rohan> Terabyte: is there any option to ignore, or just move past it ?
[02:58] <Terabyte> No just "OK"
[02:58] <rohan> Terabyte: click on ok then :)
[02:58] <kbrooks> casual__moron, when you can find that access point (if you can't, hold on), you then type
[02:58] <Terabyte> rohan: clicked ok, progress bar has gone now looking at ubuntu desktop.
[02:58] <kbrooks> casual__moron, sudo iwconfig eth1 essid <access point>
[02:58] <moggio_> anyone using gutsy?
[02:59] <rohan> Terabyte: ouch .. nothing further ? the installer just quit ?
[02:59] <Pici> moggio_: Yes. #ubuntu+1 for gutsy support/discussion
[02:59] <kbrooks> casual__moron, and then, sudo ifdown eth1 && sudo ifup eth1
[02:59] <moggio_> Pici:thanks
[02:59] <Terabyte> looks like it, though it didn't roll back or anything.
[02:59] <casual__moron> i just got an error mesage come up when i tryed iwlist eth1 scanning (for some reason the wireless has renamed itself eth1)
[02:59] <rohan> Terabyte: ok, just open up a terminal
[02:59] <casual__moron> "eth1      Failed to read scan data : No data available
[02:59] <casual__moron> "
[02:59] <rohan> Terabyte: type "sudo -i"
[03:00] <Terabyte> rohan: typed
[03:00] <kbrooks> casual__moron, ah. hmm. can't help here.
[03:00] <Terabyte> root@ubuntu
[03:00] <rohan> Terabyte: ok, sudo mkdir /mnt/buntu
[03:00] <kbrooks> rohan, no, you can give him the command w/o sudo
[03:00] <casual__moron> oh well, not to worry, im only tinkering at home anyway, so i know what the ap's are called so its not the end of the world
[03:00] <casual__moron> thanks for your help though
[03:00] <rohan> kbrooks: no, i'll need to chroot
[03:00] <Terabyte> rohan done
[03:01] <kbrooks> casual__moron, ah, well then essid to that ap
[03:01] <rohan> kbrooks: ouch, i am sorry .. my mistake
[03:01] <rohan> kbrooks: you were right :)
[03:01] <ryuk> kk i seem to be getting a problem with playback of avi files in both totem-gstreamer and vlc, i have uploaded the nice pretty images of the output im gettin here http://imagestore.ugbox.net/image/Screenshot_ebb046fc922ed.jpg and here http://imagestore.ugbox.net/image/Screenshot_6db28a.jpg the first one is totem, the other is VLC. what i want to know is does anyone have any ideas why this may be happeing and how it could be fixed??
[03:01] <kbrooks> casual__moron, and do the ifdown/ifup magic
[03:01] <rohan> Terabyte: mount /dev/<ubuntu_install_partition> /mnt/buntu
[03:02] <tonytux> hey my swap seems to get eaten up quickly and if forces me to hard boot
[03:02] <Pici> ryuk: I dont have an xwindows session in front of me, but I have had that issue before. I was able to fix it by changing the output from/to XV to something else.  I cant remember off the top of my head.
[03:02] <Terabyte> rohan: how can I find out the install partition?
[03:03] <rohan> Terabyte: the one which you just chose during the install procedure /
[03:03] <ryuk> Pici, ahh i think i kinda know wat u r talkin bout.. but i cant rem wat the command it
[03:03] <Terabyte> Sorry to be a pain, I've forgotten, Can I do something to find out?
[03:04] <kbrooks> Terabyte, rohan told you
[03:04] <ikonia> Terabyte yes - mount and unmount each parition until you find it
[03:04] <Terabyte> I see a 10.9gb volume called /target
[03:04] <rohan> Terabyte: well, there'll just be one linuxpartition right ?
[03:04] <Terabyte> (that should be where it is installed
[03:05] <silvertip257> I'm trying to install True Combat:  Elite ... I've got Wolfenstein ET installed correctly, can someone help me get TC: E installed properly?
[03:05] <rohan> Terabyte: ok, mount will show mount point
[03:05] <tonytux> does anyone have problems with vanishing swap syndrome?
[03:05] <gordonjcp> "vanishing swap syndrome"?
[03:05] <Terabyte> Rohan: I still don't understand what i'm looking for though, can you give me an example..?
[03:06] <Terabyte> mount /dev/???? /mnt/buntu
[03:06] <tonytux> well my swap is eaten up by various programs and I can't figure out how to quell this
[03:06] <rohan> Terabyte: you are looking for the place where ubuntu was partially installed .. in another terminal typing "mount" should help
[03:06] <rohan> Terabyte: you should then mount that partition to /mnt/buntu
[03:06] <rohan> Terabyte: what i want you to do is, chroot into that unfinished install
[03:06] <tonytux> hey I needed to catch someones attention
[03:06] <rohan> Terabyte: but before you chroot, i want you to do something more ..
[03:07] <kbrooks> !ask | tonytux
[03:07] <ubotu> tonytux: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:07] <ikonia> tonytux people can see you
[03:07] <danya_> have anyone here downloaded ubuntustudio ?
[03:07] <ikonia> tonytux yes
[03:07] <ikonia> danya_ yes
[03:07] <Terabyte> so /dev/sda7 of type ext3... thats the one... so I should write "mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/buntu" ?
[03:07] <danya_> ikonia : I'm having a problem with the installation
[03:07] <tonytux> my swap seems to dissapear and it forces me to hard boot
[03:07] <danya_> ikonia can u help me :) ?
[03:07] <rohan> Terabyte: yes, exactly :)
[03:07] <ikonia> tonytux ok - how much ram have you got ?
[03:07] <ikonia> danya_ whats the problem
[03:07] <tonytux> 256 ddr
[03:08] <ikonia> tonytux ok - so your not exactly ram heavy. What version of ubuntu are you using ?
[03:08] <Terabyte> rohan: done
[03:08] <tonytux> !ask | ikonia
[03:08] <ubotu> ikonia: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:08] <tonytux> feisty
[03:08] <ikonia> tonytux I'm not asking a quesiton
[03:08] <danya_> ikonia I've added the and repos to the source list and I found the packages in the synaptic but I cant seem to install them :S
[03:08] <rohan> Terabyte: ok, now type "mount /dev --bind /mnt/buntu/dev"
[03:08] <ikonia> tonytux what are you doing on the box ? using beryl that sort of thing
[03:08] <kbrooks> uhm
[03:09] <ikonia> danya_ you don't add ubuntustudio package to ubuntu - you install the ubuntustudio distro
[03:09] <Terabyte> rohan: done
[03:09] <tonytux> ikonia mostly bt xmms and bluefish
[03:09] <rohan> Terabyte: now type chroot /mnt/buntu
[03:09] <danya_> ikonia I'm just doing what I'm seeing on the site
[03:09] <ikonia> danya_ what site ?
[03:09] <rohan> Terabyte: it should log you into that unfinished install as root
[03:09] <danya_> http://ubuntustudio.com/downloads
[03:09] <Terabyte> rohan: done
[03:09] <ikonia> tonytux  open a terminal and do "sudo top" and see whats eating up memory and cpu
[03:10] <rohan> Terabyte: type "apt-get install -f"
[03:10] <kbrooks> rohan, can i say something, by default the 7.04 livecd mounts ext3 partitions as noexec
[03:10] <ikonia> danya_ have you downloaded the dvd - burnt it and installed ubuntu studio ?
[03:10] <tonytux> ikonia-usually when it's too late, I can't even close a window or switch to a terminal
[03:10] <rohan> kbrooks: by all means .. i am no expert, if i make some mistake, please tell
[03:10] <kbrooks> rohan, so, you can't simply chroot when you have an _already mounted_ by livecd partition
[03:10] <ikonia> tonytux do it the first thing you do when yo login
[03:10] <kbrooks> rohan, but it is okay
[03:11] <danya_> ikonia : .. umm .. no
[03:11] <Terabyte> rohan: reading pacakge lists.. done building dependency tree, reading state information, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, and 0 not upgraded. root@ubuntu:/#
[03:11] <kbrooks> rohan, since it is mounted by the user right now
[03:11] <rohan> kbrooks: well, if it already worked for him , it's great ;)
[03:11] <ikonia> danya_ there you go then - as I said - you install ubuntustudop as  a distro - not just add the repos to uuntu
[03:11] <rohan> Terabyte: now type "update-grub"
[03:11] <danya_> ikonia : thank u :)
[03:13] <Terabyte> searching for grub installtion difrectory found: /boot/grub, findfs unable to resolve UUID=eei1a00fe-7950-4002-b053-597c40a2c808 cannot determine root device assuming /dev/hda1 this error is probably cause by an invalid etcfstab testing for an existing grub menu.lst file, could not find /boot/grub/menu.lst file. would you like it generated tfor you? Y/N
[03:13] <tonytux> ikonia-nothing on "top" really eating memory when I log in, is it just an overload I'm putting my box into? I run like 2-3 Btornados at a time usually
[03:13] <rohan> kbrooks: any ideas ? the /etc/fstab won't be generated by this time, right /
[03:13] <rohan> kbrooks: or the UUID will be different because it's bind mounted /dev ?
[03:13] <ikonia> tonytux leave top running while you do your day to day usage and just keep an eye on it
[03:14] <rohan> Terabyte: hang on for a sec .. lemme consult kbrooks :)
[03:14] <kbrooks> rohan, hmm.
[03:14] <Terabyte> rohan: thanks:)
[03:14] <kbrooks> rohan, that's a good question.
[03:14] <rohan> Terabyte: or just press CTRL-C and paste the output of "cat /etc/fstab" somewhere
[03:14] <kbrooks> rohan, thee is /etc in the chroot
[03:14] <rohan> kbrooks: and a show stopping one atm :(
[03:14] <kbrooks> rohan, since this is a chroot, umm
[03:14] <tonytux> ikonia-ok, i'll do that
[03:15] <kbrooks> rohan, the uuid isnt known in /dev at all from the livecd
[03:15] <rohan> kbrooks: right, and by default ubuntu lists the partition's normal /dev/sdX name in comments in the fstab file
[03:15] <kbrooks> rohan, see above
[03:15] <rohan> kbrooks: dang ..
[03:15] <kbrooks> rohan, i mean, the uuid in fstab of the chroot
[03:15] <rohan> kbrooks: he'll need to edit the fstab then .. atleast for onw !
[03:15] <tonytux> ikonia-one more thing my terminal, when I switch with ctrl-alt-f1 is oversized and I only get like 1/4 of the screen
[03:15] <rohan> kbrooks: which makes it 10 times more confusing :-/
[03:16] <rohan> Terabyte: can you paste the output of "cat /etc/fstab" somewhere ?
[03:16] <Terabyte> rohan: sure
 ikonia-one more thing my terminal, when I switch with ctrl-alt-f1 is
 ikonia-one more thing my terminal, when I switch with ctrl-alt-f1 is
[03:16] <ikonia> oops
[03:16] <ikonia> tonytux is it an xterm or a gnome terminal - if so just resize the terminal
[03:16] <tonytux> s ok
[03:17] <Terabyte> rohan paste in PM
[03:17] <rohan> Terabyte: fine
[03:17] <rohan> Terabyte: waiting ..
[03:17] <Tha-Fox> could someone help me with Beryl. I installed it and now I have American layout in my keyboard. I need to get it to Finnish
[03:17] <viden> Does anyone have working knowledge of a package called spong ?
[03:18] <tonytux> ikonia-no the gui is fine, but when I first boot I have no ubuntu progress bar and then the gui login comes on fine and the gnome desktop is fine, but if I go totty1 I get big words and can't see all the screen
[03:18] <ikonia> tonytux sounds like your framebuffer resolution is messed up
[03:19] <tonytux> ikonia-I'm running off the onboard vid, HP
[03:19] <rohan> tonytux: which video card do you have ?
[03:19] <ronaldo_> oi
[03:19] <rohan> tonytux: are you done ?
[03:19] <rohan> er..
[03:19] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> Is there some prefered method of editing Xorg.conf other than just just using a text editor?  E.g. a GUI.  (I can use a text editor, but I like to know what my options are.)
[03:19] <rohan> Terabyte: are you done ?
[03:20] <t325> Hello, how to be sure which /dev/... has been assigned to an usb hard drive?
[03:20] <rohan> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: the best way would be "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:20] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> rohan: thx
[03:20] <rustalot> What does "Would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?" mean?
[03:20] <rohan> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: or if you want even more control "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:21] <rohan> mdmkolbe|ubuntu: or if you want even more control "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -plow" i mean ..
[03:21] <tonytux> ikonia,rohan-vid is integrated
[03:21] <SlimeyPete> rustalot: if you say ys, you'll be sent one big email per day withall of the list's messages in it
[03:21] <SlimeyPete> as oposed to multiple seperate emails
[03:22] <Newbie_Dude> OK, I'm trying to compile ZSNES and in the readme it says I need "the standard development tools are installed (gcc, make, ...)" Does anyone know if there's a compilation of all these tools that I can download, or can I get it through the Add/Remove?
[03:22] <PyroKay> get build-essential
[03:22] <PyroKay> sudoa apt-get install build-essential
[03:23] <PyroKay> and that gets you gcc etc.
[03:23] <t325> (I need to format an USB harddrive from ssh; I umounted it, but now I'm not sure which /dev it has been assigned, how to know this?)
[03:23] <tonytux> i had switched motherboards and already knew that this vid driver had issues, and I had to dpkg xserver-xorg to get gui up in the first place
[03:24] <PyroKay> t325, sudo apt-get install gparted and do it from there
[03:24] <tonytux> is there a diff driver or a way to alter tty's resolution?
[03:24] <kbrooks> PyroKay, no
[03:24] <axos88> what kernel does the ubuntu installer use_
[03:24] <axos88> ?
[03:24] <PyroKay> it'll say dev/hda1 etc, why not?
[03:25] <SlimeyPete> axos88: 2.6.20
[03:25] <Terabyte> rohan: sent
[03:25] <Newbie_Dude> @PyroKay: Amazing, thanks so much.
[03:25] <SlimeyPete> axos88: assuming you're installing feisty (7.04)
[03:25] <axos88> that doesn't include the atl1 driver, does it?
[03:25] <SlimeyPete> no idea, sorry
[03:25] <PyroKay> you can get envy and install the ati driver, or do it in restricted modules
[03:26] <kbrooks> PyroKay, it won't. also, he may have more than two drives. dmesg helps.
[03:26] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> rohan: how do I stop dpkg-reconfigure, ^C doesn't seem to work
[03:26] <Newbie_Dude> Does anyone know an alternative driver for Conexant 56k modem besides the $15 Linuxant driver?
[03:27] <PyroKay> kbrooks, i'll bear that in mind
[03:27] <PyroKay> thanks
[03:27] <kbrooks> PyroKay, in the sense that the most recent log entry involves the detection of USB
[03:27] <kbrooks> PyroKay, and np
[03:27] <PyroKay> well what about lsusb?
[03:28] <puff> Morning, I have a laptop running feisty.  I have a lexmark optra s 1625 networked printer.  I'm trying to get it working with CUPS.  However, CUPS has no lexmark 1625 entry.
[03:28] <Terabyte> rohan: did you receive the paste? :)
[03:28] <PyroKay> puff, you've googled?
[03:29] <kbrooks> what is a usb bus?
[03:29] <gordonjcp> a misnomer
[03:29] <PyroKay> universal serial bus...?
[03:29] <gordonjcp> USB isn't really a bus at all
[03:30] <kbrooks> gordonjcp, i see 4 usb ports
[03:30] <kbrooks> but 5 usb buses in lsusb
[03:30] <Newbie_Dude> A bus is like a pathway that connects different I/O modules and the memory and processor.
[03:30] <kbrooks> so, where's the 5th?
[03:30] <PyroKay> kbrooks, no idea
[03:30] <SlimeyPete> kbrooks: it' the device that your usb ports are connected to internally.
[03:30] <SlimeyPete> kbrooks: extra one on the motherboard for use with a front-connector panel?
[03:30] <erUSUL> Darter: no that i know of, sorry
[03:30] <puff> PyroKay: Yeah, it's not too clear.
[03:30] <kbrooks> so, when i plug in my usb thumbdrive, what happens?
[03:31] <puff> PyroKay: There's this: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-Optra_S_1625
[03:31] <gordonjcp> kbrooks: what do you mean, "what happens"?
[03:31] <Darter> thanks erUSUL
[03:31] <Newbie_Dude> When I plug my USB thumbdrive into a USB port it brings up a little icon on the desktop that allows me to access what is inside of it.
[03:31] <kbrooks> Newbie_Dude, yes. Iknow. but what's the process leading up to that?
[03:32] <grife> where I can see what model my ethernet card is?
[03:32] <Newbie_Dude> I'd have to grab my Computer System Concepts book to explain it. :P kbrooks
[03:32] <kaje> How do I configure sudo user rights at the command line or in conf files?
[03:33] <grife> kaje with chmod
[03:33] <kbrooks> Newbie_Dude, why don't you want to?0
[03:33] <kaje> grife: What files amd I chmodding?
[03:34] <grife> kaje what you want, if I understood you correctly. chmod changes user permissions, yes
[03:35] <kaje> no, I have added a user to my system, but they can't sudo synaptic like I can
[03:35] <kaje> I figured that there was a config file saying what users can sudo which commands... no?
[03:36] <danya_> when choosing a code to add to the source I'm not sure what to choose ( for i386 or amd64 ) .. I kind of forgot if I downloaded 32 bit or 64 bit .. how can I find out ?
[03:36] <erUSUL> kaje: only maembers of the admiin group can sudo by default. if you want you can add them to that group
[03:36] <erUSUL> kaje: just use System>Admin>users and groups
[03:36] <ikonia> danya_ what are you doing ?
[03:36] <michiel_> danya_: uname -a should do the trick
[03:37] <Newbie_Dude> ikonia : danya_ doesn't know, so there must be a way to check whether she downloaded the AMD64 or i386 version?
[03:37] <ikonia> Newbie_Dude yes of rcose uname -a shows the arch
[03:37] <kaje> erUSUL: thanks, that's a big part of what I was looking for... however, lets say I want to create new group that only allows members to sudo on a few commands... how can I do that?
[03:37] <ikonia> danya_ what are you trying to do though
[03:37] <danya_> ikonia : installing fusion
[03:37] <PyroKay> kaje; maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo is useful to you
[03:37] <ikonia> danya_ so why are you editing the source code ?
[03:37] <erUSUL> kaje: man sudoers

[03:40] <danya_> ikonia : I've installed it before and used it :) .. since beryl isn't working anymore with me ..
[03:40] <grife> Newbie_Dude: prepackaged BwstLinux 2000 with manual, back in 2001 when command line was necessity to everything
[03:40] <Newbie_Dude> grife: impressive :) maybe i can find a book or something
[03:40] <danya_> ikonia : and I was just wondering about 64amd and i386 .. because I have intel drivers
[03:40] <danya_> intel vcard
[03:41] <Journeyman> what is a good guide to install beryl for feisty
[03:41] <ikonia> danya_ what does the drivers matter for amd64 or i386
[03:41] <grife> Newbie_Dude: you wanna learn cli, then better get a book yea
[03:41] <tn3270> Newbie_Dude : install a "masochistic" distro
[03:41] <troopperi_> Journeyman: do it in console
[03:41] <troopperi_> !beryl
[03:41] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[03:41] <Terabyte2> rohan you there? sorry i'm not registered so the PM didn't get through
[03:41] <Newbie_Dude> tn3270 : no better way than complete immersion :P
[03:41] <danya_> ikonia : .. okay whats the difference ?
[03:42] <ikonia> danya_ one is a 32bit operating system, the other is a 64bit operating system
[03:42] <tn3270> books help a lot too
[03:42] <Newbie_Dude> danya_ : don't make the same mistake i made, grab the i386 version... Not many programs support AMD64 version.
[03:42] <grife> Newbie_Dude: also, go to /bin and man everything you see there to get a grip what very  basic apps can  do
[03:42] <younghacker> I want to completely remove apache2 and reinstall again how do i remove all the dependencies because i think i forgot the seperate packages i loaded
[03:42] <ikonia> danya_ as the guide says "this is not for beginners" and you are certainly coming across as a beginner
[03:42] <PyroKay> try synaptic
[03:43] <danya_> ikonia : but when I picked the i386 it didn't work had problems with the installation
[03:43] <ikonia> danya_ "its not for beginners"
[03:43] <PyroKay> danya_, just what are you installing? an .. ?
[03:43] <danya_> ikonia : beryl isn't working with me .. what should I do ?
[03:43] <ikonia> danya_ fix beryl
[03:43] <danya_> ikonia : I tried and asked around
[03:43] <jamiejcumbria> Any on tell me how to find out weather my nic is running at 1000baset?
[03:44] <ikonia> jamiejcumbria ethtool or mii-tool
[03:44] <Terabyte2> rohan: I've pasted it here: http://darkdayssoftware.com/fstab.txt
[03:44] <Newbie_Dude> grife : I'm looking in /bin, so those are all different commands?
[03:44] <malmen> hello
[03:44] <PyroKay> jamiejcumbria, move a file about and see =P
[03:44] <PyroKay> Newbie_Dude,
[03:44] <tn3270> jamiejcumbria : ifconfig -a
[03:44] <PyroKay> ls /bin/
[03:44] <Q-FUNK> is there any way to positively verify whether wireless-tools/wpasupplicant is at fault when connection fails to an AP where it used to work?
[03:44] <malmen> i have a asus f3jc, and my ethernet network not work, i was google for that, and install the driver r1000, and it say to i put driver r8169 on blacklist too, ut i dont know do that
[03:45] <ikonia> tn3270 ifconfig doesn't show speed/duplex
[03:45] <PyroKay> danya_, have you tried beryl? it's easier to install.
[03:46] <ikonia> PyroKay opening a can of worms
[03:46] <PyroKay> oops envy
[03:46] <PyroKay> i should talk less
[03:46] <cyberphaz> the beryl website has a howto on installing on ubuntu
[03:46] <jamiejcumbria> thanks I was using mii-tool and reported 100 but ethtool says 1000baset. mii-tool is wrong.
[03:46] <younghacker> why hasn't apache completely uninstalled from my box,, i did apt-get --purge remove and I can still browse to my site with the browser
[03:46] <ikonia> jamiejcumbria make sure they are both referencing the same device
[03:46] <PyroKay> reboot
[03:46] <gholm> how can I force my X to start at a higher resolution? It defaults to 1024x768 but I have no other option to go higher. I'm using the NV driver
[03:46] <ikonia> younghacker stop the apache service
[03:46] <JimQode> younghacker, you didn't stop the service
[03:46] <JimQode> younghacker, /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
[03:46] <ikonia> gholm reconfigure xorg - or use the nvidia glx driver
[03:47] <Newbie_Dude> Can anyone recommend a good Address Book program? Just need basic stuff like name, adress, phone, eMail. :)
[03:47] <cast> jamiejcumbria: also the nic and switch lights may indicate whether its at 100 or 1000mbps
[03:47] <PyroKay> danya_, still there?
[03:47] <tn3270> ikonia: my bad sorry
[03:47] <gholm> ikonia: get a black screen upon startx. My gfx card is a 8600gts which has had lotsa troubles.
[03:47] <ikonia> PyroKay why would he need envy - he's using intel drivers that don't need any 3rd party drivers
[03:47] <brizi> how do i find out the source build directory for the kernel i am running?
[03:47] <ikonia> gholm yes, lots of support issues there
[03:47] <jamiejcumbria> yea the switch say 1000base and so does ethtool thanks. mii-tool is wrong thanks.
[03:48] <gholm> can't I force nv to a higher res?
[03:48] <ikonia> brizi do you have the source code install from the deb
[03:48] <younghacker> it told me permission denied then it stopped it
[03:48] <younghacker> brb
[03:48] <ikonia> gholm you'll need to use a better driver
[03:48] <brizi> im not sure...how do i find out?
[03:48] <grife> :q
[03:48] <ikonia> brizi why do you need to know ?
[03:48] <gholm> ikonia: where from ? if nvidia can't release a bettr drvr then I'm stuck
[03:48] <brizi> i am installing the linuxant HSF drivers for my modem
[03:49] <ikonia> gholm your not using the nvidia driver
[03:49] <ikonia> gholm your using the nv driver
[03:49] <gholm> ikonia: yes
[03:49] <brizi> it said i needed the kernel headers which i just downloaded using apt-get
[03:49] <ikonia> gholm the nv driver is not nvidia
[03:49] <gholm> I know
[03:49] <gholm> it's the opensource community one
[03:49] <ikonia> brizi ahh I see you'll need the kernel source code then
[03:49] <brizi> then the hsf installer began automatically saying i needed a c-commpiler and the location
[03:49] <dadan_x> my ubuntu 7.04 suddenly goes very slow, when it starts the ubuntu flash screen stays a lot, is there any testing program for package integrity or something?
[03:49] <ikonia> gholm ok so ?
[03:49] <Amy_Lynn> how do I ask nickserv for help to register my nick
[03:49] <brizi> ok so where do i get that info?
[03:49] <cast> Amy_Lynn: /quote nickserv help
[03:49] <cyberphaz> err /msg nickserv help
[03:49] <gholm> ikonia: are there better versions of nv
[03:49] <ikonia> brizi install gcc and the kernel source packages
[03:49] <Amy_Lynn> thanks
[03:49] <gholm> ?
[03:50] <ikonia> brizi they are in the epo
[03:50] <ikonia> gholm no - nv is weak full stop
[03:50] <mdmkolbe|ubuntu> Can I use synaptic to reconfigure a package?
[03:50] <leku> I have a vmware question
[03:50] <leku> i know this isn't #vmware but everyhone in there is sleeping still
[03:50] <brizi> i have gcc4 installed already i believe
[03:50] <gholm> ikonia: OK are there alterantives to nv then?
[03:50] <ikonia> leku so don't ask here
[03:50] <ikonia> gholm the nvidia drivers
[03:50] <leku> well you guys are pretty smart
[03:50] <leku> thought i'd ask anyways
 well you guys are pretty smart
[03:50] <ikonia> oops
[03:50] <ikonia> leku this is ubuntu support
[03:50] <leku> i understand
[03:50] <ikonia> leku not vmware support
[03:50] <leku> and i'm running ubuntu
[03:50] <leku> :)
[03:50] <PyroKay> gholm, the restricted source drivers
[03:50] <ikonia> leku so don't ask
[03:51] <gholm> PyroKay: the ones I can download from nvidia website?
[03:51] <danya_> pyrokay : yea I've tried beryl for a day the next day it just didn't work ..
[03:51] <brizi> so if i use synatpics i should search for kernel-source?
[03:51] <ikonia> gholm I'd try the nvidia-glx pakages first, then the nvidia ones as a last resort, although I don't think the ubuntu packages drivers will support your card
[03:52] <PyroKay> gholm, if you're thinking of installing proprietary drivers, get envy from the alberto milone website
[03:52] <t2> im planning to buy a DVI capable PCI graphics card to ADD a second monitor (1440*900) to my machine... would you guys recommend ATI,NVidia or other for best ubuntu compatibility ?
[03:52] <ikonia> t2 nvidia all the way
[03:52] <leku> I tried to increase the size of my disc in vmware using vmware-vdisk or wahtever, in the vmware server console it says the disc is 10g, but in the guest os (winxp) it still says its 4g
[03:52] <t2> my current card is AGP old ATI 7200
[03:52] <ikonia> leku this is ubuntu support - not vmware support
[03:52] <pmjdebruijn> hi
[03:52] <cast> t2: this 7600GT has worked flawlessly for me
[03:52] <leku> you already said that
[03:52] <grife> where in ubuntu I can see what is my ethernet card?
[03:52] <ikonia> leku so don't take it off topic
[03:52] <ikonia> grife you mean what make or model
[03:52] <t2> ikonia:  so drivers for nvidia are are not a a problem like with ATI ?
[03:52] <grife> ikonia model
[03:52] <pmjdebruijn> when I make changes to "# kopt=root=' and I rerun 'sudo update-grub' my changes are lost
[03:52] <nohurge> xdmcp connection works well on local clients  but  on other clients they get "xdm too many retransmissions" error. i googled but i couldnt get a satisfactory solution, any suggestions?
[03:52] <ikonia> t2 they are better - not not at problem
[03:53] <ikonia> grife lspci
[03:53] <grife> ikonia oh yeah... thanks a million.
[03:53] <ikonia> grife no pro blem
[03:53] <brizi> ikonia how should i go about getting my kernl source?
[03:53] <younghacker> ok i have stopped the service and i have gotten rid of apache2 and i am still seeing the site in the browser window,, is this a cached version or something, should i restart mozilla or should i reboot?
[03:53] <t2> ikonia:  ok great... one more thing when i add this nvidia to my system i will have 2 graphic cards and two monitors... so which one will do the image prcoessiong in games and videos ?
[03:54] <ikonia> brizi download it from the repo
[03:54] <ikonia> t2 depends how you configure it
[03:54] <cast> younghacker: ps aux|grep apache, you can delete a program and it continues to run :)
[03:54] <xavier_> irc.oftc.net:6667
[03:54] <Frogzoo> brizi: sudo apt-get kernel-source ?
[03:54] <t2> ikonia: ok but eventually they should work well so i can have extended desktop like in windows ?
[03:54] <xavier_> \irc.oftc.net:6667
[03:54] <ikonia> xavier_ what ?
[03:55] <ikonia> t2 that is possible ?
[03:55] <ikonia> xavier_ what are you trying to do  ?
[03:55] <Pici> ikonia: i dont think hes here anymore
[03:55] <younghacker> ok so does that just show me that it is still running?
[03:55] <dadan_x> my ubuntu 7.04 suddenly goes very slow, when it starts the ubuntu flash screen stays a lot, is there any testing program for package integrity or something?
[03:55] <ikonia> Pici ahhh yes, well spotted
[03:55] <ikonia> younghacker yes
[03:55] <younghacker> so how do i stop them now
[03:55] <ikonia> dadan_x give us the exact message
[03:55] <Frogzoo> brizi: soz - linux-source
[03:56] <younghacker> or is that just something i have to deal with
[03:56] <ikonia> younghacker man kill
[03:56] <dadan_x> there is not any message
[03:56] <younghacker> man kill?
[03:56] <ikonia> dadan_x you just told us there is a message
[03:56] <dadan_x> just every program starts very slow
[03:56] <t2> also im worred about resolutions someone told me it is annoying from a usage point of view to have 2 monitors in front of you that have different resolutions.  has anyone found this setup annoying ?
[03:56] <younghacker> ok
[03:56] <PyroKay> younghacker, why not just reboot, or pstree then killall ?
[03:56] <ToastGuy> I finally got Ubuntu working.
[03:56] <ikonia> t2 thats just personal opinion
[03:56] <JayRoe> Can someone tell me what I need to do a "make menuconfig"?
[03:56] <dadan_x> the usual ubuntu flash screen at the startup of the computer
[03:56] <ToastGuy> now I need to figure out how to bridge a network connection
[03:56] <ikonia> JayRoe if you tell me why you need to do that
[03:56] <Newbie_Dude> Hey ToastGuy, nice to see you back. :) You had to redownload?
[03:56] <younghacker> listen i am learning linux as i go
[03:56] <ToastGuy> Ya
[03:57] <cast> younghacker: pkill apache, or apache2 if thats what its called, as root
[03:57] <younghacker> so you should tell me what to do
[03:57] <younghacker> cool
[03:57] <ToastGuy> I got it working with a earlier version
[03:57] <ikonia> younghacker whoaaaa nice attitude
[03:57] <JayRoe> ikonia: v4l-dvb
[03:57] <ikonia> younghacker we don't have to tell you anything
[03:57] <ToastGuy> the Ubuntu 6.XX
[03:57] <t2> ikonia: ye i mean does it hurt your eyes on extended periods since you have diff res and maybe even diff refresh rate on each LCD ?
[03:57] <Newbie_Dude> ToastGuy, you runnin' off LiveCD or install?
[03:57] <ikonia> JayRoe the driver for that
[03:57] <powergoal> I want to change the resolution of my laptop screen to the maximum that is permitted by my screen/video card (1280 x 800)  but when I attempt to do it through the monitor & display options menu, it says that the card configuration can not be tested on this machine.  Should I do it anyway?  The specs of the machine say it is supported.
[03:57] <cast> younghacker: linux is just a kernel, btw.
[03:57] <ikonia> t2 thats personal opinion
[03:57] <Newbie_Dude> ToastGuy : Better than nothing I guess. :) It's still Ubuntu
[03:57] <Amy_Lynn> what program will let me work with music on my ipod?
[03:57] <younghacker> i just want to get rid of this and reinstall it
[03:57] <ToastGuy> Ya, is there an upgrade package?
[03:57] <dadan_x> is there an ubuntu 7.04 alternate iso? maybe i should reinstall ubuntu without losing my data
[03:58] <t2> ikonia:  ok i'd like to hear your opinion please :)
[03:58] <ikonia> younghacker and ?
[03:58] <JayRoe> ikonia: I was able to do a make menuconfig until I updated or upgraded Feisty

[03:58] <powergoal> Rug: What are the consequences if it doesnt work?  I get no screen?
[03:58] <Newbie_Dude> powergoal : That Amarok any good? I used to use Winamp/Foobar2000 on Windows so I don't know any good music players for Ubuntu. :P

[03:58] <younghacker> brb
[03:59] <t2> ikonia:  i haven't purchased a second monitor yet ... im still asking people so i can decide to get the same one or a different one ?
[03:59] <cast> Newbie_Dude: in my opinion i want a music player not a music playing database, but lots of people like it. i just use xmms
[03:59] <ikonia> t2 what other people think doesn't matter though
[03:59] <powergoal> Newbie_Dude: I like it...  I havnt had the best experiencing it with my ipod but I havn't done much of that
[03:59] <ikonia> t2 its up to you

[03:59] <ikonia> JayRoe any pastebin
[03:59] <powergoal> Rug: also, does it just modify my xorg.conf?
[03:59] <t2> ikonia:  ok thanks for the help
[03:59] <younghacker> "you should tell me what to do" = is not a form of disrespect, often people make assumptions you obviously assumed i was a more advanced user than i am
[03:59] <ToastGuy> Where's a good place to talk about networking stuff?
[04:00] <ToastGuy> Maybe on IRC?
[04:00] <ikonia> ToastGuy in a networking channel

[04:01] <ikonia> JayRoe your missing headers
[04:01] <ge2x> ikonia: maybe u could throw a link?:)
[04:01] <JayRoe> ikonia what's a header? :-s
[04:01] <ikonia> ge2x maybe you could search the wiki yourself
[04:01] <ikonia> JayRoe file that tells a program what it can do with other programs once its built
[04:02] <ikonia> JayRoe try installing the build-essentials package
[04:02] <luk3> hi fellow ubuntu fans, can anyne help me with a problem i am having with anyremote, i and using a belkin usb dongle with feisty, i have downloaded the kanyremore package and have run .configure
[04:02] <JayRoe> ikonia is that the reason I can do a "make config" but not a "make menuconfig"?
[04:02] <ikonia> JayRoe what version of ubuntu are you using - I didn't think fesity came with gcc 4.1.2
[04:02] <brizi> ok synaptics is showing that i have perl installed
[04:02] <PyroKay> luk3, what's the problem you're having?
[04:02] <luk3> however when i run make i get alot or errors
[04:02] <ikonia> JayRoe menuconfig requires ncuses libs/headers
[04:02] <brizi> i have a file i am trying to get to run so....
[04:03] <luk3> bt_comm.cpp:28:33: error: bluetooth/bluetooth.h: No such file or directory
[04:03] <luk3> thats one of them
[04:03] <ikonia> luk3 your missing the bluetooth headers
[04:03] <JayRoe> ikonia, I just installed a clean feisty. Before I update Feisty I can do menuconfig, after the update I can't.
[04:03] <luk3>  am not 100% sure how this setup works so am finding it hard to debug
[04:03] <luk3> how do i et the headers up?
[04:03] <ikonia> JayRoe install the build-essentials package
[04:03] <luk3> am i missing a lib?
[04:04] <ikonia> JayRoe I'm wondering if this is anything to do with gcc 4.1.2 - I don't have a fesity box on hand to check
[04:04] <ikonia> luk3 no - your missing headers as I've just said
[04:04] <luk3> how do i go about fixing this?
[04:04] <ikonia> luk3 install the bluetooth package with the bluetooth headers - normally the dev package
[04:05] <bullgard4> My computer stores about 40 files containing 'hwmon' in their names. What is the meaning of 'hwmon'?

[04:06] <abli> Hi! I have an older installation of ubuntu on a reiserfs partition. I want to re-install ubuntu, on that partition, without losing my data. Can I do this? (i.e. can the ubuntu installer used to install to a partition without formatting it?) also: is there a documentation of the installin process somewhere (a walkthrough, or something like that)?
[04:06] <le1> ikonia: please visit it

[04:08] <JayRoe> ikonia I installed build-essential and now I get this http://pastebin.com/m7ab5f657 not sure if it's the same as before
[04:08] <ikonia> JayRoe it looks like a gcc update has made a few incompatbilities, but I don't have a box to check
[04:08] <ikonia> I can't work it through without a box
[04:08] <JayRoe> ikonia, okay do you know if there's something I can do?
[04:09] <Haza1> Hello folks, can anyone tell me where the default mysql bin directory is in Ubuntu? its driving me crazy looking for it =)
[04:09] <ikonia> JayRoe you can try down grading gcc
[04:09] <Stormx2> Firefox has died badly, and is listed in gnome-system-monitor as "uninteruptable" Ending/killing it does nothing. Is there anything I can do, short of a reboot?
[04:09] <alesan> hi in my openoffice there are no icons, all the buttons have text labels which is very annoying.
[04:09] <ikonia> Haza1 /usr/bin
[04:09] <JayRoe> ikonia, how do I do that?
[04:09] <ikonia> JayRoe use synaptic
[04:09] <Haza1> ikonia: cheers , i will take a look
[04:09] <alesan> how can I put icons? I read I should install some package maybe...
[04:09] <JayRoe> ikonia, uninstall and then reinstall an earlier version?
[04:09] <ikonia> JayRoe pretty much
[04:10] <ramseize> how can i activate my ubuntu desktop effects, it said composite not available.. helppppppppppp
[04:10] <Stormx2> ramseize: #ubuntu-effects please.
[04:10] <Haza1> ikonia: found it cheers! =D
[04:10] <ikonia> ramseize just say "help" not helllllllp
[04:10] <ramseize> ok
[04:10] <ikonia> Haza1 well done
[04:10] <Terabyte2> does a bootloader (grub) (when dealing with triple boot xp, vista and ubuntu on the same drive), HAVE to be installed on HD0?
[04:11] <ramseize> anyway, my speaker doesnt work? how can i fix it?
[04:11] <ikonia> Terabyte2 it makes sense to do that
[04:11] <Terabyte2> Its just I cant get grub to install, I keep getting this fatal error
[04:11] <Terabyte2> gets to 94% and then fails
[04:14] <abli> Stormx2, I would try loggin out then logging back in
[04:14] <tonytux> quit
[04:14] <Stormx2> abli: Yeah could do.
[04:14] <JayRoe> ikonia can I ask you what line in the pastebin that gave away the error?
[04:15] <ikonia> JayRoe the includes from the gcc headers
[04:15] <axos88> 7.04 == feisty right?
[04:15] <Pici> axos88: yes.
[04:15] <ikonia> JayRoe its not fact - just an assumption as I don't have a 7.04 box
[04:15] <byzzyb> hello everybody
[04:16] <root> hi
[04:16] <shar0n> ** is there a GAUL port for ubuntu?
[04:16] <shar0n> :(
[04:16] <ikonia> shar0n look in the repo
[04:16] <shar0n> none ikonia
[04:16] <ikonia> shar0n there is your answer then
[04:16] <byzzyb> can u help me in installing cedega? when I execute dpkg from the terminal it says that it requires superuser privileges
[04:16] <shar0n> :(

[04:17] <sx66> what is the volume app for kde ubuntu called?
[04:17] <root> I have windows xp on sdb and my primary drive is sda, what should i put in grub configuration file?
[04:17] <ikonia> sx66 kmixer I think
[04:17] <ikonia> root grub is setup for your when you install ubuntu
[04:17] <root> hd1,0 boots from sda and that's not what i want
[04:17] <axos88> for a laptop Is there a special flavour of ubuntu, or just "desktop"?
[04:18] <ikonia> root although windows normally likes being on the primary partition on the primary disk
[04:18] <ikonia> root hd0 then
[04:18] <root> k
[04:18] <byzzyb> ikonia, sudo: cedega-small_6.0.2_all.deb: command not found
[04:18] <ikonia> axos88 desktop
[04:18] <axos88> thx
[04:18] <ikonia> byzzyb sudo dpkg
[04:18] <byzzyb> ahh ok :) thanx
[04:18] <ikonia> byzzyb sudo gives you super user privileges
[04:19] <axos88> does the ubuntu installer need to connect to the internet?
[04:19] <ikonia> axos88 no
[04:19] <axos88> I have a NIC that has driver only in kernel 2.6.21,...
[04:19] <axos88> ok
[04:19] <byzzyb> ikonia, thank you it works
[04:20] <ikonia> byzzyb ok
[04:20] <bullgard4> My computer stores about 40 files containing 'hwmon' in their names. What is the meaning of 'hwmon'?
[04:20] <ikonia> bullgard4 at a guess "hardware monitor" logs
[04:20] <lui4> omg i hate xchat time to switch to tha bijatchx
[04:20] <bullgard4> ikonia: What do you mean with 'hardware monitor logs'?
[04:21] <axos88> I heared the ubuntu installer is very "moron-proof"... But there still is an option for more expert users, isn't there?
[04:21] <CapaH> Question, maybe someone here can answer this -- why is it not possible to play starcraft full screen on Ubuntu? The closest I can come is to have a top-left quadrant with starcraft and the rest of the screen black. Anyone know?
[04:21] <Rug> axos88: yupp, get the alternate install CD for best control
[04:21] <axos88> Rug: dammit... I just downloaded the desktop edition
[04:21] <ikonia> axos88 why is that a problem
[04:21] <Rug> axos88: time to annoy a few more electrons
[04:22] <axos88> ikonia: I wanted more control over the install
[04:22] <ikonia> axos88 how do you expect to get more control
[04:22] <abli> Does the desktop edition installer allow one to install to a partition without formatting it first?
[04:22] <ikonia> abli ye
[04:22] <ikonia> abli yes
[04:22] <Amy_Lynn> how can i place an application on my start bar?
[04:22] <abli> ok, thanks
[04:22] <jurp5> why is linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic gone?
[04:23] <axos88> well I heared that the installer is very "moron-proof"... So a lot of more advanced options are filled out by default
[04:23] <axos88> like partitioning, etc
[04:24] <el_tacano> gdmflexiserver --xnest errors out with a "Cannot start new display.  The X server failed.  Perhaps it is not configured well" Anyone else had this problem?
[04:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Amy_Lynn: go to the applications menu right click on the application you want on the menu and click on add this launcher to taskbar
[04:24] <Rug> axos88: you can still manually controll the partitioning via the 'noob-installer' but the alternate offers a lot more fine-grain control
[04:24] <gdb> No it doesn't.
[04:25] <byzzyb> how can I enable 3D acceleration iif I have a Radeon 9600?
[04:25] <gdb> The alternate CD allows 2 things the desktop CD doesn't -- a text installer and an upgrade in place option, that's it.
[04:26] <gberardi> I just upgraded to Feisty, only to find that I can't boot into Ubuntu. At the splash screen, it waits for a long time, then I get the message: Check root= botarg cat /proc/cmdline
[04:27] <gberardi> or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
[04:27] <person51090> I want a composite manager (and an X Server). Do I want Xgl or AIGLX, and do I want Compiz or Beryl?

[04:27] <jurp5> hi*
[04:28] <jurp5> why is linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-generic gone?
[04:28] <tokj> hi
[04:29] <gberardi> I'm having trouble finding information on how to boot back into Ubuntu. I believe it has to do with the way Ubuntu now uses UUID instead of device names, but being in BusyBox, I don't know how to proceed.
[04:29] <gdb> person51090: In feisty, you want Administration > Desktop Effects > Enable Desktop Effects
[04:29] <SlimG> My server with 1Gbit nic is locked on "10Mbit mode, what might the reasons for this be? and is there a way to force the nic into one of the other modes thru terminal?

[04:31] <erUSUL> SlimG: you can try ethtool
[04:31] <ikonia> liu4 its in your .bitchxrcc file

[04:32] <jurp5> gdb: its gone :S
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> can I run Itunes software in wine?
[04:32] <Pelo> byzzyb,  so you can use compiz/beryl ?
[04:32] <erUSUL> !info squid | ge2x
[04:32] <ikonia> liu4 in your home dir  you have to create it
[04:32] <SlimG> ikonia: Does the nic detect the resistance of the connection and determin the mode according to that?

[04:33] <liu4> ikonia um what?
[04:33] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow,  you can ask in #winehq or consider using amarok or gtkpod
[04:33] <jurp5> gdb: doesnt show up in my apt-cache
[04:33] <ikonia> liu4 its normally in your home dir - you have to create the file yourself
[04:33] <gdb> Nope, it's there.  Still shoes for me after an apt-get update.

[04:34] <jurp5> gdb: not here, weird
[04:34] <liu4> ikonia ok..
[04:34] <SlimG> ikonia: Then I guess it's a poor cabeling as I've just moved to server further away but still connected to the same Gbit switch, thanks alot for your help and knowlege!
[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Pelo: thanks
[04:34] <ikonia> SlimG try forcing the conection with ethtool
[04:34] <jurp5> gdb: rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* ?
[04:35] <gberardi> Does anyone know how to get access to the drives from initramfs?
[04:36] <SlimG> ikonia: no need to, I've changed the cable and now it works again :)
[04:36] <gdb> jurp5: I'm looking at the file on ftp.archive.ubuntu.com right now.
[04:36] <Pelo> gberardi,   make a mount point and then mount it ?
[04:36] <ikonia> SlimG well done
[04:36] <jurp5> hmm
[04:36] <t2> i just read the following about Xinerama in the "Known Problems" section of wikipedia:   "There is currently no way to add or remove physical screens, and there is no way to change the resolution of a screen. (The XRandR feature is disabled when Xinerama is used)"....is this saying that with 2 monitors that have diff resolutions that i cannot set their resolutions ???
[04:36] <Vletmix> Anyone know how to get the restricted ATI driver installed on the server?
[04:36] <gberardi> Pelo: /dev doesn't show any devices that look like drives. I don't have /dev/sda or /dev/hda
[04:37] <ikonia> t2 no thats not what its saying its saying for a spanned desktop the overall resolution must be one big screen - not two different resolutions
[04:37] <Pelo> !uuid
[04:37] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[04:37] <gberardi> Pelo: Sorry, I should have been more specific
[04:37] <Pelo> gberardi, try with the uuid   ,  blkid is the command to display
[04:38] <gberardi> Pelo: Ok, but blkid isn't available in initramfs, and so I have no way of accessing a decent shell, it seems.
[04:38] <gdb> jurp5: ftp://ftp.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/l/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/ -- what's actually downloaded will be one of those.
[04:38] <t2> ikonia:  what is  meant by one big screen  ?   im really confused by this.   i want to have both screens function just like Extended Desktop in windows XP... is that what you mean by spanned desktop ?
[04:38] <ikonia> t2 yes
[04:38] <gberardi> Pelo: Well, thanks anyway. At least that link can explain why there was a move to UUID anyway
[04:39] <Pelo> gberardi, maybe the ppl in ##linux might know ,  slightly  1337er channel
[04:40] <gberardi> Pelo: Ah hah!
[04:40] <gberardi> Pelo: Boot loaders need to update their configurations so that they pass root=UUID=$UUID to the kernel for the root filesystem, which initramfs-tools supports. They may also need to update the install device if they require such things, as noted below:
[04:40] <gberardi> So there we go. It apparently is a problem with grub.
[04:40] <gberardi> Or rather, grub not updating correctly.
[04:40] <Pelo> gberardi, would you like a grub manual link ?

[04:42] <joumetal> I am trying to get HP laserjet 1200 work with pictures. It horribly slow. Ideas?
[04:42] <Pelo> gdb,  you need to put #ubuntu at the beginning of that list
[04:42] <gberardi> gdb: Heh, when I quit my day job in a few months, my commute will be a couple of seconds. B-)
[04:42] <gberardi> Thanks for your help, all
[04:42] <Rug> gdb: that describes #fluxbox nicely
[04:43] <byzzyb> nobody has any ideas on that 3d acceleration stuff?
[04:44] <shar0n> folks how do I remove a library that I installed? :|
[04:44] <Pelo> byzzyb, if you want to enable 3d for beryl / compiz,  you can try asking in #beryl or #ubuntu-effects,  they probably know how to do it
[04:44] <shar0n> installed without using the package manager
[04:44] <Pelo> shar0n, did you compile it ?
[04:44] <shar0n> yes
[04:45] <byzzyb> thank you really much, Pelo will do that :)

[04:46] <Ace2016> but you should have used sudo checkinstall -D its easier to uninstall it, you can remove it directly from the package manager
[04:46] <mbeierl> say, anyone know of a way to stop Evolution from putting signature below quoted replies?

[04:47] <Pelo> Biteyn-1,   ati or nvidia video card ?   you will need to use the alternate install cd
[04:48] <Ace2016> sx66: sudo apt-get install synaptic, then run synaptic, you can then search and uninstall whatever you want
[04:48] <Pelo> fevel,  no ,  menu > applications > add/remove , search for ftp , you'll get a nice selection

[04:49] <sx66> Ace2016, E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

[04:50] <Pelo> shar0n, ie if you got rid of the source folder  and all the stuff you use to compile it , you 'll need to do it again
[04:50] <shar0n> yes I did that
[04:51] <Pelo> ferronica,  this isn't an avant channel,  I was just giving you the usual leads,    if that doesn'T work look in gconf-editor, or search for an avant configuration files
[04:51] <Pelo> shar0n, that was my best guess, you'll just have to live with it
[04:51] <ferronica> Pelo: okay
[04:51] <shar0n> lol damn
[04:51] <Biteyn-1> pelo so if that computer doesn't have amd or nvida and it has intel gfx card i use alternate cd?

[04:51] <Pelo> shar0n,  is the lib in question giving you problems ?
[04:52] <shar0n> no, but I'd like it off my system
[04:52] <sx66> shar0n, , E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[04:52] <t2> what happens when you place a window split across/between two different resolution monitors  (using 2 graphic cards (PCI+AGP) and Xinerama)... would each side of the application window have diff resolution ?  if so both graphic cards would be working together to render that single application window ?
[04:52] <terlmann> umm
[04:53] <terlmann> I need some help with ircd-hybrid
[04:53] <Pelo> Biteyn-1, usualy the xserver error are caused by nvidia or ati video card,   intel card should be able to install with no problems,   but the alternate install cd will work with all video cards regardless
[04:53] <shar0n> sx66 what are you installing?
[04:53] <Biteyn-1> ok the alternate is nothing less right same ubuntu ?

[04:56] <Pelo> erUSUL, you do better with a hangover

[04:56] <Biteyn-1> Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)
[04:56] <Pelo> Biteyn-1,  yes but you need  x86 alternate
[04:56] <plagerism> SlimeyPete, I was actually hoping that someone good point me towards the documentation on pinning
[04:56] <Biteyn-1> 64bit AMD and Intel computers
[04:56] <sx66> shar0n, I can not: I get this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[04:56] <Biteyn-1> so i use 64bit AMD and Intel computers
[04:56] <Biteyn-1> ?
[04:56] <Pelo> bobbob1016_, mplayer pluggin will play mov
[04:56] <shar0n> ok run that :)
[04:57] <Pelo> Biteyn-1,  use the archive link, it might be eaiser to find
[04:57] <shar0n> what are you waiting for sx66:P --- dpkg --configure -a
[04:57] <cougem> i was told earlier today that there were problems with some of the update sites with 404s etc (im trying to update from 6.06 to 6.10 and i get errors saying stuff can't be found), any idea when it'll be fixed?
[04:57] <bobbob1016_> Pelo, the mplayer plugin works with swiftfox?
[04:57] <sx66> I can not, it will not let me, it probs for devices and fails..
[04:57] <Pelo> bobbob1016_,  swiffox is just based on ff  right ?  shoudl work I think
[04:57] <sx66> shar0n, aboce
[04:58] <shar0n> sx66, sudo dpkg --configure -a     fails?
[04:58] <bobbob1016_> Pelo, the reason I'm asking, is I have them playing in totem in FF, but it doesn't work in swiftfox
[04:58] <Pici> What does a p signify in this ls -l output: prw-rw---- ?
[04:58] <timewriter> hi
[04:58] <Pelo> cougem, upgrading from the alternate install cd would probably be quicker and less troublesome,
[04:58] <shar0n> hmm
[04:58] <timewriter> how do i know if X uses the video drivers i installed ?
[04:58] <nny> is there a channel for developer related questions, such as hosting your own personal repository
[04:59] <Pelo> bobbob1016_,  the totem-mozilla pluggin never worked well for me,  I alsways go for the mplayer one now, , just a suggestion
[04:59] <Pelo> timewriter,  reading the xorg.conf files could give you a clue

[05:18] <Pie-rate> Newbie_Dude: you tell me!
[05:18] <Pie-rate> Newbie_Dude: its probably drawing too much power from the usb ports.
[05:18] <shar0n> Newbie_Dude, its working overtime
[05:18] <neverblue> roachmmflhyr, try both?
[05:18] <Newbie_Dude> shar0n, Pie-rate : Uh oh, I told my Dad to leave his USB hard drive plugged in, and that was 4 months ago...

[05:21] <sn0> js_ are you using an accelerated driver for your graphics card?
[05:21] <sn0> js_ if you are using vesa/non accelerated that would explain slow window redraws
[05:21] <js_> sn0: i'm using nvidias drivers and 3d acceleration works fine
[05:22] <js_> sn0: i just generally find it that applications render slowly and have been doing so for a few years
[05:22] <js_> sn0: at least gtk apps
[05:22] <sn0> js_ maybe your refresh rate ?
[05:22] <js_> sn0: i think it wasnt as bad when i tried fedora
[05:22] <jurp5> still doesnt work

[05:22] <ne0futur> hi all, the lines I put in /etc/hosts are not used by my ubuntu, but ihave the good config in /etc/nsswitch ( hosts:          files dns )
[05:23] <sn0> js_ hmm not sure, dont notice any slowness here :< using nvidia
[05:23] <ne0futur> is there something i should do with ubuntu to have my /etc/hosts be used ?
[05:23] <js_> sn0: also, i often miss the window edges when resizing/moving windows
[05:23] <js_> which is quite annoying
[05:23] <sn0> js_ using desktop effects or beryl?
[05:24] <js_> sn0: nope, though that actually seems to make things more accurate
[05:26] <sn0> js_ any possibility of uploading a picture/animated picture of what is happening?
[05:26] <js_> sn0: im at work right now, but perhaps when i get back home.. i think its the usual behaviour just that it annoys me
[05:27] <js_> sn0: its the same no matter what computer im on
[05:27] <sn0> js_ not sure really, as you say maybe its gtk ;)

[05:32] <abli> Im trying to install ubuntu using the 7.04 desktop livecd-installer CD. I want to install to an existing partition without formatting it. Can I do that? I get a "System partition not formatted" error dialog if I choose manual partitioning, and set that partition to be mounted as /, and dont check the format column. Why does the installer demand system partitions to be formatted?
[05:32] <robert__> hello to every one
[05:32] <robert__> I have a problem
[05:32] <robert__> NVIDIA
[05:32] <OldPink> abli - reformat the partition to ext2 or ext3 using the partitioner given to you
[05:32] <mariocesar_bo> OldPink: tanks i would read it
[05:33] <abli> OldPink, thats what I _dont_ want to do.
[05:33] <OldPink> abli, why?
[05:33] <abli> OldPink, to keep my data, why else?
[05:33] <OldPink> abli, what partition type is the one you're trying to install to?
[05:33] <ge2x> what do i need to add to the squid config file to make it act just as a proxy
[05:33] <ge2x> ??
[05:33] <OldPink> abli, you can't install to a partition with stuff already on it, you need to install to an empty one
[05:33] <ubuntuEdgy> i want to use pxe with live cd sort of like a pxe live ? can it be done ?
[05:34] <abli> OldPink, yeah. I noticed. But that limitation doesnt make sense. Why can't I install to an exsisting partition?
[05:34] <OldPink> abli, if you want to install on an existing partition and keep your data, try Wubi
[05:34] <Hyarion2> hi, all of a sudden my external hard drive isn't mounting and is giving me the error: mount_point can not contain newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /), has anyone received this? I haven't changed anything...
[05:34] <OldPink> !wubi | abli
[05:34] <ubotu> abli: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[05:34] <abli> OldPink, I'm not a windows user, and the partition in question is a reiserfs partition with an exsisting, older ubuntu on it.
[05:35] <OldPink> abli, Ah, I understand now
[05:35] <z3r0ph3wl> hej, i have ubuntu on my pc but now i want also install as second OS windows xp on pc but not using wmware or virtualbox. i have empty NTFS partition and how later after install XP set back grub that i could choose what OS to boot?
[05:35] <OldPink> So you just want a base install with the data you already have?
[05:35] <abli> OldPink, so, any idea why I can't do what I want?
[05:35] <OldPink> Isn't that what you already have?
[05:36] <OldPink> I suggest mounting your /home folder to a seperate partition, formatting the other partition, installing there and keeping the /home intact
[05:36] <dr_willis> i keep /home on its own hard drive. :)
[05:36] <abli> OldPink, I have one partition with / and /home and everything else on it.
[05:36] <erl_> hi, is there anyone out there who can help me with some linux-header issue?
[05:37] <MrElendig> erl_: install the devel and build-essensial
[05:37] <OldPink> abli, yes, installing to that partition will result in a fresh install, with nothing saved from last time
[05:37] <abli> OldPink, no, its not what I already have, because it was installed with and older (2 versions earlier) ubuntu
[05:37] <mariocesar_bo> OldPink: i read the post on ubuntu forums, i merge the xorg.conf it didn't work
[05:37] <erl_> MrElendig, i have it updated already
[05:37] <WaxyFresh> where can i download images for innotek virtualbox?
[05:37] <OldPink> abli, ah! Well you can't upgrade two versions at a time
[05:38] <mariocesar_bo> the two monitors are working, i don't know why compiz don't start :(
[05:38] <OldPink> abli, insert the CD in from the next version up when you're running your ubuntu install, and it'll ask you to upgrade
[05:38] <z3r0ph3wl> hej, i have ubuntu on my pc but now i want also install as second OS windows xp on pc but not using wmware or virtualbox. i have empty NTFS partition and how later after install XP set back grub that i could choose what OS to boot?
[05:38] <dr_willis> WaxyFresh,  they can use/convet vmware images i do belive.
[05:38] <OldPink> You'll need to do that twice, albi
[05:38] <OldPink> albi, I guess you're going from 6.06 to 7.04?
[05:38] <nikin> hy i installed ubuntu on my dual PIII PC, on a SCSI drive... , but for some reason the HDD got real hot, so hot, i couldnt tuch it. is that normal? the drive is a 17 Gig Fujitsu.

[05:38] <abli> OldPink, yeah, but I deliberately want to reinstall, not upgrade.
[05:39] <erl_> MrElendig, when i try to install linux-headers package, i was prompted to choose between 6 other options
[05:39] <OldPink> abli, the only way is to backup and fresh install, then restore what you want from the backup
[05:39] <MrElendig> z3r0ph3wl: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phbc50/howtos/how-to_reinstall_grub
[05:39] <OldPink> Shrink your current partition, make a new one, install there, boot into that, mount the old one, transfer whatever you want and then delete the old one, abli
[05:40] <pdroy> I think ubuntu default CD should have more bluetooth stuffs, kubuntu s packed well in this front
[05:40] <dr_willis> one mans needed stuff..is anothers cruft
[05:40] <z3r0ph3wl> MrElendig: thanks
[05:40] <abli> OldPink, so. Any idea _why_ the installer demands formatting before install?
[05:41] <MrElendig> abli: because you shoud reformat / ?
[05:41] <OldPink> abli installing over an original install would leave lots of uneeded files, lots of missing dependencies, and a generally unstable, unbootable mess
[05:41] <OldPink> abli, you'd risk your current data
[05:41] <OldPink> abli, the operating system is the very base of a partition. of course it needs a format to be installed
[05:42] <abli> OldPink, no I dont, because I moved all my data to an old_data/ directory. So if the installer would be willing to do what i want, I would simply end up with a fresh install, and with my data in /old_data/ .Thats all
[05:42] <MrElendig> /home and /var are the only things that's generaly safe to keep (if you know what you do)
[05:42] <dr_willis> abli,  it would of been safest to move it to another filesystem, or drive...
[05:43] <MrElendig> abli: that's why you shoud use a seperate /home partion
[05:43] <abli> OldPink, no it doesnt. The "operating system" is just files. there is nothing magic about it
[05:43] <ramseize> help, when my login the system sound works , when im about to play mp3 music, thres no sound
[05:43] <OldPink> abli, well there you go. Shrink the current partition down, create a new one, install there, mount the old one to /old_data and have a browse, restoring what you want
[05:43] <OldPink> it's the only way
[05:43] <Bobsentme> Hello
[05:43] <OldPink> Pidgin 2.1.0 is 12 hours late now, and only 44% developed... lol!
[05:44] <abli> OldPink, ok. I already gave up trying to do what I originally wanted. Now Im just trying to understand why this limitation exsists.
[05:44] <roachmmflhyr_> i cant get proftpd server up and running at all. I followed this exactly http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=39566&highlight=proftp+nat
[05:44] <nikin> abli: i think it demands so, that the system folders stay clean. coz if there are initscripts or anything else for programs that arent installed that can couse lot of error messages, and maybe crashes also
[05:45] <Bobsentme> Ok, trying to download Ubuntu. Got the ISO, but it won't boot. Possibly a bad download, from what I've been told.  Is there a program to check the download?
[05:45] <MrElendig> Bobsentme: md5sum
[05:45] <Bobsentme> Cool, thanks.
[05:45] <abli> nikin, so? this is "expert mode" already. If it wants to keep the system folders clean, just "rm -rf" those directories, that already exist and clash with a system directory name.
[05:45] <Bobsentme> bye!
[05:45] <nikin> bobsentme, you should check the md5 sum of the cd image.... you can download that at the same place, you got the cd from
[05:45] <roachmmflhyr_> i keep getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29802/
[05:46] <OldPink> abli it exists because it exists. It's like saying, why can't I just install firefox 3 on top of firefox 2 and hope it'll work? You need to remove the second first, then install the third. 6.06 and 7.04 are very different, you could extract the CD image, extract that and paste the contents into / if you're really bored and wanting to fight against the right way of doing things, but it's just easier, safer, more stable and dam
[05:46] <OldPink> abli, ask at Ubuntuforums if it really matters to you
[05:47] <abli> OldPink, "extracting the cd image and pasting the contents to /" is exactly what the installer does. What do you think, how do the files get there?
[05:47] <nikin> abli: i understand your problem, and it would be nice, if one could choose not to format that drive, and get an unclean system at his own risk.
[05:48] <nikin> abli: did you try the alternate CD?

[05:54] <axos88> the ubuntu alternate installer provides the nvidia drivers, right/>
[05:54] <dr_willis> axos88,  nope.
[05:54] <axos88> on a laptop, i'll need the 1280x768 resolution, right?
[05:54] <madsen> Does anyone know where I can get hold of libc5 for Ubuntu? I tried packages.ubuntu.com, but all the mirrors returned 404 on the deb.

[05:55] <axos88> Can ubuntu log into text mode so that I can install the drivers
[05:55] <axos88> ?
[05:55] <qaws> Is there any soft for Ubuntu to change x-sensitivity and y-sensitivity for mouse separately please?
[05:55] <dr_willis> axos88,  install them from the console,  - Odd that it 'shuts' off.. that may be more of a wrong res/screen not gettting displayed..
[05:55] <secureboot> anyone know an easy way to check the hashes of files that will be installed by a given package?
[05:55] <roachmmflhyr_> xBill: which ip address? the one assigned by my ISP, my routers IP, or my LAN IP assigned by my router?
[05:56] <Newbie_Dude> I love Ubuntu, I finally solve one problem than another problem comes up... lol
[05:56] <dr_willis> axos88,  the system should be using the failsafe nv, or vesa drivers. Its possible X is startring.. and just isent getting displayed properly
[05:56] <MrElendig> qaws: if it's a synaptics, I think you can do it by hand in xorg.conf
[05:56] <ramseize> can anyone help me, when  i login, it prompts the system sound, but when im about to play music, theres no sound? what seems to be the problem?
[05:56] <axos88> dr_willis: on a laptop wide screen, i'll be needing the 1280x768 resolution, right?
[05:56] <xBill> depends on where you want to acces the ftp server from
[05:56] <madsen> axos88: Ctrl-Alt-F2 will give you text-mode.
[05:56] <dr_willis> axos88,  i use whatever default res. the laptops lcd handles.
[05:56] <madsen> axos88: Ctrl-Alt-F7 will take you back to the X session.
[05:56] <roachmmflhyr_> xBill: ubuntu-box is no where in my /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
[05:57] <eifzon> why does the ubuntu alternate cd got a newer kernel then the livecd?
[05:57] <nikin> dr_willis: i know, but i just want to kno if that is normal for a scsi drive.. if its normal, i rip of some helicompter rotors, and hammer it in my case:D but i dont want to spend 5-6 hours of ork to realize that the hdd s are broken.
[05:57] <axos88> madsen: right, thanks
[05:58] <dr_willis> nikin,  it may be the drive isent spinning down.. but if its in use. it will make heat..its amazing how hot some parts get..
[05:58] <axos88> but after I start the X server, it totally freezes (that's what happened on debian and the ubuntu gui installer) no response to alt+ctrl+f1 , or alt+ctrl+backspc
[05:58] <eifzon> so what cd shall i use to install ubuntu
[05:58] <dr_willis> nikin,  i alwatys put fans on all my hds
[05:58] <nikin> dr_willis: yep i realized that with my IDE drives before... but these ones get real hot... i am afraid that they melt tha cables
[05:59] <madsen> axos88: I guess you could boot in single user mode from grub.
[05:59] <Tamale> i lost my terminal history... help?
[05:59] <axos88> madsen ok
[05:59] <madsen> axos88: that shouldn't start X
[05:59] <dr_willis> nikin,  i cant think of a reason they would get hoter under linux, then windows.  never heard of anyone else mention hard drives doing that.
[05:59] <xBill> roachmmflhyr_: what 's the "ServerName"-line in the config file ?

[06:00] <jaguar> quick question the picture in my vlc playr while wathcing .avi files is laggy, but the sound isnt.how can i fix that issue
[06:00] <madsen> ... or will I be able to use the Debian libc5?
[06:00] <nikin> dr_willis: never tested them under windows... i dont use windows, for some time now, but this is my first SCSI system, so i dont know what are the normal working temperatures for those drives
[06:01] <madsen> jaguar: You're probably better off asing on a VLC related channel.

[06:03] <xBill> roachmmflhyr_: try adding "127.0.0.1 ubuntu-box" to /etc/hosts
[06:03] <jaguar> nikin,  an ATI something R350 chip
[06:03] <dseomn> this is probably a stupid question, but does ubuntu work with sata hard drive on a mobo raid controller if the raid is turned off?
[06:03] <dr_willis> nikin,  they may be more power hungry also. Newer drives are more engery efficnet i hear.
[06:03] <rolfen> is there any way to minimize rhythmbox to the tray?
[06:03] <nikin> jaguar: did you install the drivers for it
[06:03] <axos88> why aren't nvidia and ati drivers supported by default? I don't think it's that uncommon....
[06:03] <dseomn> rolfen: click on the tray button
[06:04] <jaguar> nikin,  not that i know i just installed ubuntu studio
[06:04] <dr_willis> axos88,  one word... LEGAL RESONS
[06:04] <jaguar> and thats pretty much it
[06:04] <dr_willis> axos88,  oh wait.. thats 2 words. :)
[06:04] <rolfen> dseomn: thanks... lol
[06:04] <dseomn> rolfen: no prob
[06:04] <nikin> dr_willis: maybe i will buy a new one, for that time i installed a 120 G IDE drive..
[06:04] <dr_willis> axos88,  nvidia and ati wont let the disrto makers include them.  Those disrtos that are doing so.. sort of do it  in a round about way.
[06:04] <CapaH> Can someone explain this to me please... I have edited xorg.conf in each of the depth sections under "Display" and I have added modes: 1280x800, 1280x1024, 1280x960, 1152x864, 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480 --- and when I restart X, and I try to change my screen resolution, ONLY 1280x800 and 1024x768 are available options. Can anyone tell me why?
[06:04] <rolfen> axos88: i think it has got something to do with licensing issues
[06:04] <nikin> jaguar: you should install video drivers, ... that will fix the problem.
[06:05] <axos88> huh?
[06:05] <nikin> !ati | jaguar
[06:05] <ubotu> jaguar: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:05] <dr_willis> axos88,  lets look it at this way.. I insstall XP  - and i have to go download the nvidia drivers also.
[06:05] <rolfen> axos88: the reason why nvidia and ati drivers are not included by default
[06:05] <axos88> what do ati and nvidia gain by this?
[06:05] <CapaH> "Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller" "Generic Monitor" Default Depth: 24 <-- if helpful
[06:05] <dr_willis> axos88,  go ask them.. come back if they give you a good answer.. :) they never have so far.
[06:05] <axos88> dr_willis: only difference: windows XP actually starts without them
[06:05] <rolfen> axos88: no idea...
[06:05] <axos88> :))
[06:05] <Newbie_Dude> I thought the NVIDIA drivers were automatically downloaded when you go to System > Preferences > Restricted Drivers?
[06:06] <dr_willis> axos88,  my sustem starts with the 'nvidia' drivers.. your system is not the norm.
[06:06] <nickrud> CapaH, iirc, installing 915resolution will fix that

[06:07] <Newbie_Dude> dr_willis: I wish they'd also include a 56k modem driver for my Conexant, instead of having some company (Linuxant) that wants to charge me $15 for a driver !!!!
[06:07] <axos88> nikin: i don't think so... don't you just do aptitude install nvidia-drivers-package-with-some-wierd-name?
[06:07] <rafaelscj> I installed 915resolution...
[06:07] <rafaelscj> perfect
[06:07] <CapaH> On another matter, does *anyone* know why my battery suddenly lasts 5 minutes when unplugged on Ubuntu, but no such problems before I installed Ubuntu Feisty (from Edgy) ?

[06:09] <Newbie_Dude> dr_willis: I know, I live in the stone-age (still using 56k modem, third world country) but they don't have to charge $15 bucks for the driver. :P
[06:09] <nikin> axos88: people using Linux are a small minority, and if you just lokk at the desktop users... even more a minority... they dont realy care... and thats sometimes visible in the quality of the drivers
[06:10] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, by chance is there a external amplifier switch in alsamixer?
[06:10] <dr_willis> Plus the companies only have limited amount of $$ for programers for the drivers....
[06:10] <axos88> But I do think linux is climbing up the ladder... it's true that it's a slow process, but I can feel it happening
[06:10] <axos88> don't you?
[06:10] <nickrud> dr_willis, useful for faxing, still ;)
[06:10] <Newbie_Dude> And with Vista being as hot as it is (lol) they got their best teams working on Vista drivers
[06:10] <rafaelscj> Who know how to instal texas instruments card reader?
[06:10] <_Lucretia_> hi, I just tried to play a vid through totem and it said I needed to install some codecs, fine. It bought up a list of 3 options, so I picked the ones that didn't say "no encryption" (the 0.10.2-0ubuntu4 version), got no sound though. Yes sound plays through the prefs fine
[06:10] <dr_willis> Newbie_Dude,  i think thats EXACTLY why the XiFi Drivers for linus are not out yet.
[06:11] <Newbie_Dude> Anyone know if I can do an apt-get on SDL? If so, what is the keyword?
[06:11] <nikin> dr_willis: making the drivers open source, doesnt cost a $ , but they dont do that.... its not about money, or if it is, then it is becouse of the agrement ith OS developres... not just MS but Apple also.
[06:11] <Newbie_Dude> !SDL
[06:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sdl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:12] <axos88> nikin: they could also do something like... ooops we suddenly had a security breach, and we gave out all the specs for writing drivers for our boards :P
[06:13] <axos88> ok, ubuntu instal lfinished... fingers crossed....
[06:13] <Hyarion2> has anyone here used gtkpod with an external hard drive?
[06:13] <nikin> axos88: doing that every 6 months would be a litle bit..hmmm... lets say it ould look as strenge as a camel in the midel of NY in pink panties
[06:14] <axos88> :))
[06:14] <axos88> well yeah, but at least the boards until NOW would be supported...
[06:14] <r0b-> nixternal
[06:14] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, libsdl1.2debian ; you'll probably want libsdl1.2debian-alsa as well. aptitude search sdl will give you ore options
[06:14] <axos88> ubuntu installer resembles debian installer... hmmm
[06:15] <Newbie_Dude> aptitude, never heard of it nickrud, but i'll figure it out :)
[06:15] <axos88> dammit... dead screen
[06:15] <dr_willis> nikin,  Unless they have other stuff licensed where they ant release the drivers.. However they COULD release the specs for the hardware for free.. (perhaps) thats almost as good.
[06:15] <davejs> hello
[06:15] <nikin> axos88: that isnt hat the companies want..,. they dont get money if you buy a 2 years old card now.. they want you to buy the newest stuff and the most expensive :D
[06:15] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, a different package manager, that's all. a lot like synaptic, but text and more geeky
[06:15] <Jack_Sparrow> can I play m4a in Ubuntu or do I need to convert them first
[06:16] <axos88> nikin: yeah... let's face the facts :(
[06:16] <nikin> dr_willis: and almost as bad for the propertary OS developers... if there is such an agrement...
[06:16] <r0b-> is Ubuntu Server good for a Virtual Server?
[06:16] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: Sorry - didn't catch your response (no beep ;) -- I do't see an ext amplifier
[06:16] <Newbie_Dude> @nickrud OK, I might need that then. Because I believe there are a lot of packages not showing up when I do synaptic search.
[06:16] <kevinl--> r0b: you mean is it good to make a virtual machine for microsoft virtual server?
[06:16] <kevinl--> or vmware?
[06:17] <axos88> ok, so I booted up my great new ubuntu in single user mode (GUI won't work)... how do I install the nvidia drivers?
[06:17] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, ok.  Just checking, it usually all the way towards the right.  Not sure what your problem might be.
[06:17] <nikin> axos88: hy the gui wont work?
[06:17] <nikin> w
[06:17] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: I've got something that say's "Off-hook" - with MM above it...
[06:18] <n0yd> No idea what that might be...
[06:18] <n0yd> MM is mute
[06:18] <axos88> nope
[06:18] <n0yd> of off
[06:18] <_Lucretia_> flash worked, but now it doesn't after a reboot (amd64)
[06:18] <n0yd> you can try toggling it
[06:18] <erizzle> what package provides the X dev headers? I am trying to compile the latest fluxbox
[06:18] <axos88> screen-turns-off thing
[06:18] <erizzle> TIA
[06:18] <bronze-> How do I run (via terminal) an executable textfile?
[06:18] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: I can't seem to - what keys would I use - arrow keys, right?
[06:19] <axos88> bronze-: ./myscript.sh
[06:19] <nikin> axos88: did you try to reconfigure the xserver to use vesa drivers and a lower resolution for that time?
[06:19] <erizzle> bronze-: ./textfile ?

[06:19] <Newbie_Dude> nickrud : I think I found them... in the Synaptic Package Manager
[06:19] <axos88> nikin: not yet
[06:19] <axos88> lemme try that
[06:20] <n0yd> cyberphaz, hit "M"
[06:20] <n0yd> err
[06:20] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, ^^^^^^^^
[06:20] <toocrazy-pt> hi
[06:20] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, figured you could. Like I said, synaptic and aptitude are verrry similar
[06:21] <toocrazy-pt> I have some problems with my ethernet card, someone can help ??
[06:21] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, I keep forgetting about a lot of the newer graphical tools. Gotta remember to mention them
[06:21] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: Got it - I should have to restart or anything to take effct, no?
[06:21] <n0yd> no
[06:21] <erizzle> has anyone compiled fluxbox from source?? could anyone enlighten me to the package name for the X headers?
[06:21] <Newbie_Dude> @nickrud : is that "Synaptic Package Manger" the same as Aptitude? It definitely seemed more "texty and geeky" :)
[06:21] <Manowarrr> how to forward 29900 port to 192.168.0.31 , a little help with iptables please ?
[06:21] <n0yd> You never need to restart Linux, except to change kernels.
[06:22] <xfuser> Hey
[06:22] <n0yd> Even when ubuntus little update alert thing tells you restart, usually its wrong in telling you to do so.
[06:22] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, not the same, but a lot of the backend code from aptitude seemed to have made it into synaptic. In earlier incarnations, it even used a lot of the same terminology.
[06:22] <Newbie_Dude> I don't get it, why don't these developers (like the ZSNES developer) just give us an already-compiled version? Why we gotta go searching for 20 different components to compile it. >_<
[06:22] <xfuser> I use a lenovo 3000 N100 laptop and I unable to get a 1280x1028 resolution
[06:22] <toocrazy-pt> may I give some more info??
[06:22] <stefg> erizzle: why not just sudo apt-get build-dep fluxbox (and let apt sort it out)
[06:23] <xfuser> I don`t know the exact refresh rates.. thats what the problem
[06:23] <erizzle> stefg: I'll give it a shot, thx
[06:23] <Newbie_Dude> !anyone | toocrazy-pt
[06:23] <ubotu> toocrazy-pt: 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?
[06:23] <rafaelscj> How do I to install Texas Instruments Card Reader' driver?
[06:23] <BadRobot> Hi there could anyone give me some help to recover a broken system?
[06:23] <toocrazy-pt> the last time I update the kernel, the eth0 (Intel PRO/100 VE) have gone
[06:23] <dr_willis> rafaelscj,  built into a laptop? a 15 in one media reader?
[06:24] <Newbie_Dude> !postgresql
[06:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about postgresql - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:24] <illriginal> how do you kill all firefox?
[06:24] <toocrazy-pt> when I try to click on the NetworkManager, i get No SIOCGIFFLAGS: no such device
[06:24] <erizzle> stefg: now will that work considering ubuntu ver of flux is like 0.95 and I'm trying to compile 1.0rc3?
[06:24] <rafaelscj> dr_willis: Acer travelmate laptop
[06:24] <toocrazy-pt> but with lspci, i get the card
[06:24] <Hreno> hello, I really need help; I've installed nvidia drivers via envy and I still can't get higher resolution than 1024*786 and 75Hz, which is killing my eyes
[06:24] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, another useful trick: find zsnes package in ubuntu, and install it :)  or, if you still want to build it, try apt-get build-dep <package>
[06:24] <nikin> axos88: :D:D its better that way not?
[06:25] <xfuser> shall I post my xorg.conf file ?
[06:25] <BadRobot> I am having problems with GRUB and HDD .I am getting GRUB ERROR 17 after the install of Ubuntu Feisty
[06:25] <axos88> with X? welll.. umm yeah :D
[06:25] <illriginal> how do you kill all firefox?
[06:25] <toocrazy-pt> I already check the foruns but no solutions
[06:25] <dr_willis> rafaelscj,  ive had very little luck gettting some of those going. From what last i noticed SOME of the media slots work..but not all of them
[06:25] <Pici> illriginal: killall firefox-bin
[06:25] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: Yeah, I  figured...No love on the Off-hook thing...  Anyone out there have experience with the STAC9000 soundcard - can't get any sound out of it...
[06:25] <illriginal> thank you pici
[06:25] <mariocesar_bo> hello, i just enable two displays on ubuntu, now i can't get compiz-fussion to start ... i get this error: /usr/bin/compiz.real (core) - Fatal: No RandR extension
[06:25] <axos88> now... lemme install the 2.6.21 kernel so that I will have networking :P
[06:25] <erUSUL> illriginal: killall -9 firefox-bin
[06:25] <BadRobot> You are better off using Opera or Iceweasel
[06:25] <dr_willis> rafaelscj,  the drivers were included in the kernel. i didenthave to do anything to get my SD cards working.
[06:25] <Newbie_Dude> @nickrud : I checked the Synaptic for "ZSNES" and it wasn't there -- is there another place to look besides in the GUI Synaptic "Add/Remove?"
[06:25] <dr_willis> !find zsnes
[06:26] <stefg> erizzle: it will puill all the *-dev packs that fluxbox needs. if you run into lib-version problems then i'd recommend not building it. But that's not likely on such a compact thing
[06:26] <ubotu> Found: zsnes
[06:26] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, try control-f in synaptic, and search there
[06:26] <erUSUL> dr_willis: multiverse
[06:26] <Newbie_Dude> dr_willis: I've been tracking down the different components so I can compile ZSNES for the past like 4 hours.
[06:26] <rafaelscj> dr_willis, What?
[06:26] <MajorPayne> BadRobot: Iceweasel is firefox re-branded.
[06:26] <illriginal> It says no processes killed...
[06:26] <illriginal> nevermind
[06:26] <illriginal> im gonna restart
[06:26] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, ah. Try System->Admin->Synaptics
[06:27] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, just curious, type this into a shell/terminal "cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp" and make sure your speakers are on, and up (but not to much)
[06:27] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: Device or resource busy
[06:27] <Newbie_Dude> @nickrud : holy crap, it's there... So, Synaptics in Admin Menu is better than Add/Remove !!! WOOOOOOOO
[06:27] <n0yd> hmm
[06:28] <Hreno> is there any program to set resolution except built-in?
[06:28] <CapaH> Hreno: I am suffering with the same dilemna
[06:28] <n0yd> that doesn't make much sense...
[06:28] <artabrahao> Hi, how can I see/change the date/time?
[06:28] <rafaelscj> dr_willis, I knew that the module is included but modprobe don't find it
[06:28] <CapaH> I installed 915resolution and it didn't fix a thing
[06:28] <stefg> Newbie_Dude: so you earned your first l33t points on linux :-)
[06:28] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, add/remove isn't synaptics, :)
[06:28] <Cy3berPeace> n0yd: What should it say/do when you type that?
[06:28] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, In this case, go ahead and just reboot.  Come back and try it again. :)
[06:28] <Newbie_Dude> @nickrud, dr_willis: Thanks so much guys. I was literally trying all day to compile. I thought I had to go into add/remove for everything
[06:28] <nickrud> CapaH, did you read the docs I pointed you at?
[06:28] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, put static through the speakers
[06:29] <sq89> hi! I want to use both my laptop monitor and a 20" lcd one with my intel 950 graphics card. I'm configuring xorg.conf now, but I have no clue about what the different MonitorLayout settings mean. any idea?
[06:29] <CapaH> nickrud: Yes, and I still have the same choices I had before --- also, curiously, when I do: 915resolution -l --- it *does* list the modes I want to use, but when I try to use those modes, it just does nothing
[06:29] <Newbie_Dude> So, it seems a good part about Ubuntu is that if I want any of the programs I can get it all through Synaptic Package Manager, I don't have to go trekking through the internet and compiling things ??
[06:29] <cyberphaz> most distros have a manager like that
[06:29] <n0yd> Cy3berPeace, It sonds like a process is choking your sound card
[06:29] <cyberphaz> but yes
[06:29] <CapaH> sq89: You are in for a *WORLD* of frustration, I feel bad for ya :)
[06:29] <PriceChild> Newbie_Dude, yes
[06:29] <CapaH> sq89: But yes it is possible :)
[06:29] <stefg> !X
[06:29] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:30] <nickrud> CapaH, when we first talked about this, rafaelscj mentioned he'd used 915res successfully
[06:30] <sq89> CapaH: thanks :-)
[06:30] <CapaH> I think rafaelscj is not here unfortunately
[06:30] <rafaelscj> hello
[06:30] <CapaH> then again
[06:30] <Newbie_Dude> I hope Ubuntu never dies or goes out of development, I'm really enjoying all of this. >_<
[06:30] <CapaH> rafaelscj: Help!! :) --- how do I get 915resolution to work? I do 915resolution -l --- and it lists the modes I want, but when I edit that one etc file with the mode/res --- and I restart X, its just as though I did nothing.. ideas?
[06:31] <rafaelscj> I am using 915resolution here
[06:31] <axos88> Could someone please guide me through setting up network? Installer couldn't do it because kernel 2.6.20 didn't have the drivers, I just installed 2.6.21
[06:31] <PriceChild> axos88, 2.6.21 is not supported here.
[06:31] <sq89> CapaH: have you tried restarting the pc? it seems 915resolution loads into the kernel or something
[06:31] <rafaelscj> CapaH, Do you have a Intel card?
[06:31] <sq89> CapaH: I've used 915resolution with success too, until I wanted to use two monitors...
[06:31] <PriceChild> axos88, custom kernels are not supported here. They cause a multitude of problems if you don't know what you're doing when compiling, and can be hard to track down.
[06:31] <stefg> axos88: what kind of network? wired or wlan? and where did you get the 2.6.21 kernel?
[06:32] <axos88> both
[06:32] <axos88> stefg: from the debian repository
[06:32] <PriceChild> axos88, debian is not ubuntu....
[06:32] <stefg> axos88: very bad idea
[06:32] <PriceChild> axos88, don't use debian packages on ubuntu and expect support.
[06:32] <CapaH> well, I am *trying* to use 915resolution, I have it installed, I followed the instructions, I edited xorg.conf making sure that i810 and the proper modes are there --- and I restarted xwin and nothing new happened. ideas?
[06:32] <axos88> the kernel is the same
[06:32] <K7> http://s10.bitefight.it/c.php?uid=31458
[06:32] <K7> thanks
[06:32] <Fe2Cl3> Hello! I have an ubuntu server that have an ntfs partition configured in fstab to use ntfs-3g with utf8 as its encoding. when ubuntu starts and mounts the drive i can't see the non-english files (they are just not there when I ls), but after I umount the drive and do mount -a all the encodings work fine. It seems that when it boots it mounts not by my fstab. What should I do?
[06:33] <CapaH> when I go to the screen resolution option under preferences, it lists only two: 1280x800 and 1024x768 --- it does not list the modes I actually support
[06:33] <sq89> CapaH: try doing a hard reboot
[06:33] <CapaH> sq89: I did shutdown -r now
[06:33] <axos88> kernel is kernel.. kernel is not debian kernel, or not ubuntu kernel
[06:33] <PriceChild> axos88, if its not ubuntu... then we don't support it here.
[06:33] <nikin> i have found a nice and fat installer bug :D in 6.06 :D
[06:33] <rafaelscj> CapaH, I installed and Restarted...
[06:33] <nickrud> axos88, options, patches, etc. initramfs, the list is nearly endless
[06:33] <CapaH> I do lsmod -- and I see it there
[06:33] <erUSUL> axos88: well the ubuntu kernel is heavily patched with respect to vanilla
[06:34] <MrXorg> I'm trying to set a mountpoint for my localhost and it says localhost is not in /etc/fstab
[06:34] <MrXorg> Any help?
[06:34] <CapaH> drm i915 <-- both there
[06:34] <CapaH> is there something else that should be visible in lsmod ?
[06:34] <stefg> axos88: it's not.... so first step would be identifying your hardware. lshw or lspci would show what you got. If your running kernel doesn't have the drivers, you're on your own, unless you go back to the ubuntu-kernel
[06:34] <artabrahao> Hi, how can I see/change the date/time?
[06:34] <artabrahao> Hi, how can I see/change the date/time?
[06:34] <Fe2Cl3> help would be highly appriciated guys :)
[06:34] <nickrud> MrXorg, localhost is a networking term, meaning your machine. it's not something to mount
[06:35] <MrXorg> So how would I mount my ip?
[06:35] <axos88> stefg: atl1 driver is what I need
[06:35] <CapaH> when I do this: /etc/init.d/915resolution start -- I get: "Patch mode 50 to resolution 640x480 complete" --- but nothing actually changes on my screen.. ?
[06:35] <axos88> stefg: that
[06:35] <Newbie_Dude> @artabrahao : It should be in the upper-right hand corner of the screen. If you see it there, right-click on it and click "Adjust Date & Time"
[06:35] <axos88> stefg: that's why I installed this kernel, i knew that I needed this one
[06:35] <SunmanXII> hey guys - I have a problem - I have an ethernet based Brother 5250DN printer attached to my wireless router. How can I set it up so I can print to it from my Ubuntu computer?
[06:35] <PriceChild> axos88, This is _very_ clear. We do NOT support kernels outside of the ubuntu repositories. You are on your own unless you decide to switch back. (stefg)
[06:35] <rafaelscj> CapaH, There is a module in lsmod : i915
[06:36] <PriceChild> axos88, anything could have broken.
[06:36] <nickrud> MrXorg, take a look at /etc/hosts , it should be listed there. And ifconfig will tell you about localhost
[06:36] <axos88> PriceChild: keep whinning around, if YOU don't wnat to help, shut up. I didn't ask for YOU to help.
[06:36] <SunmanXII> apparently its supposed to work on feisty but I dont know how to set it up
 I'm not using the x
[06:36] <CapaH> rafaelscj: I see i915 in lsmod
[06:36] <nickrud> MrXorg, ubuntu nearly doesn't work when localhost isn't already defined; it's so fundamental to nearly everything
[06:36] <axos88> PriceChild:  thank you.
[06:36] <CapaH> rafaelscj: I have my driver in xorg.conf set to: i810 --- is this correct?
[06:36] <MrXorg> nickrud: I'm trying to network both of my ubuntu computers to share files between them
[06:37] <mhz`> ugh
[06:37] <mhz`> its too earlier
[06:37] <axos88> Can anyone tell me if there is any utility to configure the network, or do I have to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file manually?
[06:37] <mhz`> early
[06:37] <Journeyman> I installed beryl and it only works when I run beryl-manager as root
[06:37] <mhz`> axos, install network manager
[06:37] <Journeyman> how can I get it to work as just a user?
[06:37] <stefg> axos88: gimme a link on the info source that told you you need 2.6.21. And don't yell at the seniors, might be bad for your reputation
[06:38] <MrXorg> axos88: sudo gedit /etc/netowrk/interfaces
[06:38] <mhz`> http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/
[06:38] <rafaelscj> CapaH, Yes i810
[06:38] <mhz`> its a package..search for it in synaptics
[06:38] <nickrud> MrXorg, ah. Different question. I'm no expert on networking.
[06:38] <Newbie_Dude> Why do you guys use Ubuntu and not Kubuntu or Pubuntu, or whatever the other ones are?
[06:38] <nickrud> gnome
[06:38] <mhz`> newbie0034, kubuntu = ubuntu running w/ kde
[06:38] <PriceChild> Newbie_Dude, personal preference, choose what works for you.
[06:38] <MajorPayne> Newbie_Dude: KDE sucks.
[06:39] <mhz`> ubuntu = ubuntu w/ gnome
[06:39] <axos88> it was when I was trying to install Debian. they said that the 2.6.20 kernel didn't have the atl1 drivers as module, so I have to get the 2.6.21, because these ones included it
[06:39] <twosouls82> it does not :)
[06:39] <Newbie_Dude> PriceChild, MajorPayne: OK I'll just stick with Ubuntu then.
[06:39] <axos88> it was from the #debian channel
[06:39] <erUSUL> axos88: System>admin>network
[06:39] <MajorPayne> Newbie_Dude: But choose what you want.  That's why I don't use Kubunut.
[06:39] <MajorPayne> *Kubuntu
[06:39] <Newbie_Dude> kubunut LOL
[06:39] <rafaelscj> CapaH, Did you try System > Preferences > Screen Resolution?
[06:39] <CapaH> rafaelscj: Yes
[06:39] <mhz`> Newbie_Dude, try both...install kde and see which you like better
[06:39] <PriceChild> axos88, are you running ubuntu or debian?
[06:39] <CapaH> it only lists two optionsL: 1280x800 and 1024x768
[06:39] <dxdt> Newbie_Dude: I slowly fell in love with Kubuntu so I switched after a while.  Still ubuntu, just kinda a different front end if you will.  You can have both installed at the same time too if you want.  THen you can choose at login whether you want KDE or Gnome or XFCE or whatever.
[06:40] <stefg> axos88: you're overlooking the fact that ubuntu 2.6.20 might have a patch already
[06:40] <axos88> anyhow... it magically worked... I've got no idea how it can work, as I haven't configured anything... just did a modprobe atl1, and voila, it came on (I have DHCP, but I thought i will have to do some config before it comes online)
[06:40] <Newbie_Dude> mhz` : Just looking for somethign simple. I am completely new to all of this, just installed it yesterday and have not looked back. I need something simple.
[06:40] <axos88> stefg: does it?
[06:40] <nikin> Newbie_Dude: i use Xubuntu most the times, if i use ubuntu, thats becouse Gnome is far the most user friendly of them.
[06:41] <CapaH> when I use 915resolution to set the default to mode 30 640x480 and I restart, instead of restarting in that mode it just restarts in 1280x800 and then in screen resolution the options are still between just those two choices
[06:41] <mhz`> Newbie_Dude, i like gnome..i installed kde, but ehh..wasn't for me. it doesn't hurt to install it and see
[06:41] <dxdt> I agree Gnome is more user friendly.  That is still what I start peopple on who are newbies.  I let them move to whatever they want later on their own.  KDE can be confusing and such.(Though I feel it liberates me personally more)
[06:41] <Newbie_Dude> nikin : I see.. Gnome + Ubuntu. Didn't realize that.
[06:41] <PriceChild> axos88, are you running ubuntu or debian?
[06:41] <stefg> axos88: i don't know yet waht atl1 is for. Why not simply telling us make and model of your wlan(ethernet cards ?
[06:41] <PriceChild> axos88, stefg - find that with a "lspci" in terminal.
[06:41] <axos88> on the laptop that I am trying to set up, I am running ubuntu... On this machine, from which I am talking to you, i am using debian
[06:41] <ubuntuEdgy> any one use pxe ?
[06:42] <nikin> Newbie_Dude: and if i want anything other its just a mather of downloading time, and i can have all of them at the same time... i just install the Kubuntu-desktop or the xubuntu-desktop package
[06:42] <PriceChild> axos88, don't get ubuntu support in #debian
[06:42] <axos88> PriceChild: at the time I was trying to get Debian to run on the machine
[06:42] <artabrahao> Hi, how can I see/change the date/time?
[06:42] <Newbie_Dude> I can't believe all this existed, I was stuck in Windows XP-land.
[06:42] <axos88> PriceChild: I couldn't get it to install proprely, so I changed to ubuntu
[06:42] <xpoint> artabrahao, date
[06:42] <liu4> someone know how much market share ubuntu has taken when it comes to linux?
[06:42] <erUSUL> PriceChild: he is using a debian kernel in ubuntu afaics
[06:43] <MrElendig> liu4: imposible to find out exactly
[06:43] <axos88> lspci | grep eth returns nothing
[06:43] <tarzeau> liu4: popcon.debian.org vs popcon.ubuntu.com
[06:43] <axos88> lspci | grep nic returns nothing
[06:43] <Newbie_Dude> liu4 : I actually found Ubuntu from Slashdot.org News. They did an article on Ubuntu market share, then I impulsively made the switch and deleted Windows.
[06:43] <rafaelscj> CapaH, try to add to xorg.conf a new screen...
[06:43] <stefg> axos88: see !pastebin and paste the lspci output there
 thanks, but whenI type time other thinks appears, not the date of the server
[06:44] <stefg> axos88: oh, and while you're at it paste dmesg there, too
[06:44] <liu4> newbie but would you say that ubuntu is used by 40% of all linux folk?
[06:44] <erUSUL> axos88: 2.6.20 from feisty comes with the atl1.ko driver/module
[06:44] <axos88> stefg: wait, let me log in from ubuntu
[06:44] <axos88> btw, the wired LAN card is 969  Attansic Technology Corp. --> 1048  L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
[06:44] <axos88> btw, the wired LAN card is 1969  Attansic Technology Corp. --> 1048  L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
[06:44] <nikin> liu4: i think it is about 20% maybe 30% at home users
[06:45] <CapaH> rafaelscj: Explain ?
[06:45] <PriceChild> erUSUL, i know... which is annoying :)
[06:45] <erUSUL> axos88:  /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/ubuntu/net/atl1/atl1.ko
[06:45] <Newbie_Dude> nikin : I'd try to get my dad on Ubuntu, but he'd miss all his pinball games.
[06:45] <PriceChild> erUSUL, and makes it near impossible to support
[06:45] <axos88> Newbie_Dude: KDE has some nice pinball game :)
[06:45] <liu4> nikin is it fair to say that ubuntu will get more uses with the vista debacle and all?
[06:45] <rafaelscj> CapaH, Add a new SubSection "Dysplay"
[06:45] <nikin> Newbie_Dude: there is a program called wine... maybe you should take a look at winehq.org
[06:46] <erUSUL> PriceChild: right (althought i use a custom kernel too ;P)
[06:46] <Newbie_Dude> nikin : will do, thanks :)
[06:46] <liu4> nikin microsoft has hit a wall.. the windows concept is already invented so there is nothing more for microsoft to do other than bells and wistles
[06:46] <stefg> axos88: found this for you : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2452875&postcount=1
[06:46] <Newbie_Dude> There should be an Ubuntu - Aero Edition xD
[06:47] <CapaH> rafaelscj: Ok done, now what?
[06:47] <CapaH> rafaelscj: I add this under "Screen" right?
[06:48] <rafaelscj> right
[06:48] <CapaH> rafaelscj: Ok now what?
[06:48] <nikin> liu4: only if it can get more user friendly... but yes, the most average Office tasks are already easyily done using ubuntu. but Gaming is a serious problem. i think Ubuntu can rise share in the home-office, internet-user, and smallbuisnes segment
[06:48] <tck> anyone use evolution pop3 with gmail ?
[06:48] <Littlegator> I'm trying to install Ubuntu and the installer is saying I have no root filesystem, but I have the mount point as "/" on a 4GB partition...
[06:48] <rafaelscj> I would try to restart and after, Try to System > Pre... >Scree...
[06:49] <liu4> nikin i know many small business owners who have switched from xp/ms office to ubuntu and open office to save cash...
[06:49] <axos88_> ok, i'm from the laptop with ubutnu now
[06:49] <erUSUL> tck: yes
[06:49] <CapaH> rafaelscj: Do I leave the other sub-sections called "Display" ?
[06:49] <nikin> liu4: but bells and wistless are the strong part of Microsoft... i think they could sell a bottle of water, as the newest and greatest, industry leading stuff. for 500$ a bottle
[06:50] <tck> erUSUL, do you find it slow the last while?
[06:50] <stefg> axos88_: did you get the forum-link? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2452875&postcount=1
[06:50] <MajorPayne> Not only that but most game makers are concentrating on the console now and less on the Windows PC.
[06:50] <rafaelscj> You would backp-up this and del
[06:50] <tck> erUSUL, when logging in via web gmail its fine, but pulling data via pop3 in evloution is taking its time
[06:50] <erUSUL> tck: no specially
[06:50] <axos88_> yes
[06:50] <CapaH> rafaelscj: Back this up and delete all "Display" except "Dysplay" ?
[06:50] <Newbie_Dude> MajorPayne : I actually made the switch to Ubuntu after I found out about "Cedega" and being able to (supposedly) play some of my games -- haven't tried it yet though.
[06:51] <tck> erUSUL, send yourself an email from evolution to your gmail and see how fast it is will you?
[06:51] <liu4> nikin but at some point people see thrue that lie.... and i think vista is that point... i have herd many people question why they need to upgrade to vista and office 2007 when xp and office 2003 works fine
[06:51] <tck> see if the pop pulls it down instantly
[06:51] <axos88_> i am reading it right now
[06:51] <nikin> liu4: Microsofts strongest card in small buisness, is compatibility, and as they say a lot of time Total Cost of Ownership. But as more and more IT guys learn to administer Linux systems, TCO will decrase fast.
[06:51] <rafaelscj> CapaH, Del all others SubSection "Dysplay"
[06:51] <stefg> axos88_: reading through it i'd recommend to switch back to the ubuntu-kernel and use module-assistant to build and install that driver
[06:52] <dxdt> liu4: I actually was just surveyed about that.  Whether or not my organization plans to update to them and why.  It included possible answers like "No reasonto upgrade" and such.  I found it interesting.  I think they know there isn't a good reason and are surveying to find out how to market around that.
[06:52] <axos88_> yeah, i'll probably do that
[06:52] <axos88_> but one thing bothers me...
[06:52] <liu4> nikin well i am not out to get microsoft in anyway... i am only saying that open office is good enough to change from office 2003 just to save money
[06:52] <stefg> axos88_ : you know what module assistant is?
[06:52] <axos88_> if the nic is working, how come lspci doesn't list it?
[06:52] <Enron> stefg how can I download linux-source-2.6.15-23-server ?
[06:52] <nikin> liu4: no they dont. If your boss uses Office2007 and sends you Office2007 files, you better get a program capable to decipher them... or you get fired... :(
[06:53] <axos88_> stefg, no... but i guessed that if i read through that doc, i'll find out
[06:53] <erUSUL> tck: doing it atm...
[06:53] <liu4> dxdt correct.... there is like nothing more to squeese out of the windows concept
[06:53] <PriceChild> axos88_, when in the ubuntu kernel, sudo apt-get install module-assistant and use that to build and install the driver
[06:53] <tck> erUSUL, thanks, looking to see the response times
[06:53] <nikin> liu4: yep, it is good... but migrating is not an easy task. It is worth the time and money.
[06:54] <CapaH> rafaelscj: I am confused, before my xorg.conf had a variety of "Display" subsections, you told me to add one called "Dysplay" (with a "Y") --- now I delete the others which say "Display" ?
[06:54] <rolfen> does banshee supports skinning?
[06:54] <stefg> axos88: no, they are redhat centric, and the debian/ubuntu-way is using module assistant. if you're lucky all you have to do is putting the driver source in place, sudo apt-get module-assistant and then sudo m-a a-i atl1 :-)
[06:54] <erUSUL> tck: you mean the time from i sent the email till it arrives to my inbox?
[06:55] <tck> erUSUL, yes
[06:55] <Littlegator> I'm trying to install Ubuntu and the installer is saying I have no root filesystem, but I have the mount point as "/" on a 4GB partition...
[06:55] <tck> before it was instant for me, today im getting nothing, hotmail > gmail works fine
[06:55] <dxdt> CapaH: should not have one with a Y.'
[06:55] <tck> but gmail > gmail there's nothing for me
[06:55] <nikin> gtg brb
[06:55] <axos88_> PriceChild, ubuntu installer mentioned something about this oem user.... to finish some preparations (like what?) and then run some command to delete this user, and finish the installation... what was it again, don't you know by chance?
[06:56] <erUSUL> tck: i can tell that it is not instant
[06:56] <gumjo> I want to compile somthing and it says I need a package called  libstdc++-dev, I've installed it from synaptic but I still get this message
[06:56] <PriceChild> axos88_, why'd you do the oem install? :s
[06:56] <rafaelscj> CapaH, In Section "Screen" there is SubSection "Dysplay"...
[06:56] <rafaelscj> Create a new SubSection "Dysplay"
[06:56] <tck> erUSUL, ok must be something up then
[06:56] <CapaH> dxdt: Here is what I did. I deleted all "Display" options from xorg.conf -- created a new "Display" option set to the resolution I am trying to achieve, then I restarte X --- what happened is everything is *exactly the same*
[06:56] <PriceChild> *searches*

[06:56] <CapaH> I still have two video modes to choose from: 1280x800 and 1024x768 --- it is as though I did not even edit xorg.conf
[06:56] <tck> erUSUL, when i log into gmail via web ; my two test messages are sitting in the inbox
[06:56] <axos88_> PriceChild, I shouldn't have right? :-s
[06:57] <CapaH> It is as though xorg.conf is not even being USED
[06:57] <stefg> Enron: we were through this yesterday. the -23is a build nimber, and the only way to have the exact source from which the kernel is build  is pulling the git-tree ( as described in the kernel howto)
[06:57] <PriceChild> axos88_, i "think" it is oem-config-prepare in a terminal
[06:57] <PriceChild> axos88_, type oem- into a terminal and then tab-complete it to make sure
[06:57] <axos88_> yeah it was something like that
[06:57] <axos88_> yes of course
[06:58] <Enron> stefg I tried to follow along the guide but I didn't get it to work.
[06:58] <axos88_> but what does this oem install differ from the normal install? I just thought it will offer more advanced options
[06:58] <erUSUL> tck: i have send another email from other gmail account and it arraived in no time. i gues that emails to yourself are somehow "hold" or discarted (it makes not much sense to mail to yourself after all)
[06:58] <axos88_> PriceChild,
[06:58] <mrfrodo> #Ubuntu-fr
[06:58] <rafaelscj> CapaH, If you have been deleted all other SubSection, so...
[06:58] <mhz`> i mail myself often because i don't have friends :(

[06:59] <PriceChild> axos88_, its for people selling machines, they do the oem install, make their own changes and then do that command. Next time it is booted (with new owners) they get to see a nice wizard to set up their users and passwords
[06:59] <CapaH> now I am growing massively frustrated, how can I remove all the "Display" sections in xorg.conf -- restart the whole computer (hard-reboot) --- and STILL it loads 1280x800 and gives me TWO choices in screen resolution: 1280x800 and 1024x768 --- what is going on?
[06:59] <tck> erUSUL, it was never like this ; recently
[06:59] <axos88_> oh...
[06:59] <axos88_> So I guess I just type that command and reboot... to the old kernel
[07:01] <axos88_> ok... brb... booting back to 2.6.20
[07:01] <axos88_> init 6
[07:01] <erUSUL> tck: the behavior is not a problem for me as i said why would i mail myself?
[07:01] <tck> er
[07:01] <tck> erUSUL, reminders ;)
[07:01] <smylanakis> hey guys
[07:01] <smylanakis> i need help
[07:02] <smylanakis> ai anybody awailable?
[07:02] <c0386407> alright guys?
[07:02] <smylanakis> available ?
[07:02] <erUSUL> tck: :)
[07:02] <dxdt> ask the question and if anyone can help they will try smylanakis :)
[07:02] <Pie-rat1> I installed ubuntu on my external hard drive, but i forgot to do a /boot partition. is there an easy way to just add one or do i need to reformat again?
[07:02] <smylanakis> thanx !
[07:02] <c0386407> i have a question: is divx vids normally choppy when running on fullscreen or is it just me? im on 915gm, using intel drivers 1280 x 800 resolution
[07:03] <smylanakis> well something went wrong with the permissions of my partition where i had installed my kubuntu before installing windows to another partition
[07:03] <smylanakis> in the start i could not login
[07:03] <KI4IKL> I have a logitech tackball and it keeps losing sync (it's wired, but it keeps freezing up) and the only way to fix it is to restart my computer, if I try to restart just X the whole computer freezes.
[07:03] <smylanakis> cause i could not see when i was rebooting th choose option boot menu
[07:03] <c0386407> it goes choppy when the 'camera' moves quickly,is it normal? as far as i remember, i never noticed this problem in windows
[07:04] <smylanakis> it just would login to windows
[07:04] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> can anyone link me to some kind of instruction for sharing a printer across a windows smb network? or help me to do so?
[07:04] <dxdt> smylanakis: you installed windows after kubunt and now you have no choice of windows or linux?
[07:04] <smylanakis> after that i tried a helping page that i think was at the ubuntu help pages .. something like that
[07:04] <dxdt> smylanakis: windows is mean and will destroy the boot records of other OS's.  Best bet is to install Windows then Kubuntu.  There is probably a way to fix it as is, but I'm not sure what it is.  Maybe someone else here knows
[07:05] <CapaH> ... Anyone? How is it I edit xorg.conf -- remove all "Display" sections except one (set to a resolution of 640x480) -- I reboot, and everything is as though I did nothing. The resolution is STILL 1280x800 and my choices are still between 1280x800 and 1024x768 -- any ideas?
[07:05] <smylanakis> yeah this is the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[07:05] <smylanakis> i have the choice of both
[07:05] <smylanakis> but when i try to log in
[07:06] <smylanakis> to kubuntu
[07:06] <MrElendig> CapaH: try a modeline
[07:06] <c0386407> guess nobody knows the answer here:(
[07:06] <smylanakis> there is a problem
[07:06] <smylanakis> it says
[07:06] <smylanakis> cannot mount selected partition
[07:06] <CapaH> MrElendig: What is that? please explkain
[07:06] <smylanakis> i really need help.. to login i have other partitions as well
[07:07] <CapaH> *explain
[07:07] <smylanakis> should i install again kubuntu ? am i going to be able to see the partitions
[07:07] <smylanakis> after that?

[07:07] <smylanakis> please?
[07:09] <Zac1> yea
[07:09] <rafaelscj> CapaH, Try to uninstall 915resolution...
[07:09] <rafaelscj> ...
[07:09] <Zac1> whered everyone go?
[07:10] <akos> ok, I'm back... and under 2.6.20.... but this is a generic kernel... shouldn't I download one for amd64?
[07:11] <akos> PriceChild,
[07:11] <PriceChild> akos, ?
[07:11] <akos> oh sorry
[07:11] <akos> axos88
[07:12] <Zac1> Where is everyone?
[07:12] <PriceChild> axos88_, if you did an i386 install then you don't get 64bit kernels. They work just fine.
[07:12] <c0386407> guys, a quick one: seems like intel 915gm is not really suitable for watching divx n stuff, or is it just ubuntu that doesnt use it optimaly? im on 1280 x800, intel drivers
[07:12] <axos88_> PriceChild, but I did a 64bit install
[07:12] <PriceChild> axos88_, well then its a 64bit kernel
[07:12] <PriceChild> *doesn't use 64bit*
[07:13] <axos88_> the image i installed was ubuntu-7.04-alternate-amd64.iso
[07:13] <axos88_> uh ok...
[07:13] <logd>  hi, some1 ever managed to get tv-out work ? (i'm using ati radeon 9250 as video card)

[07:13] <jcole> anyone here own a gps device and use it on linux? is there any drive by turn gps software in ubuntu?
[07:14] <rafaelscj> 0386407, i have a intel card too, but i didn't try to see divx

[07:14] <MrElendig> jcole: any gps that use the standard serial or usb comm works
[07:15] <c0386407> CapaH: Could it be because of running at 1280x800?
[07:15] <jcole> MrElendig: drive by turn gps software?
[07:15] <NekoKun> Yo folks! Im helping out the setup of a webserver. We're testing the vulnerabilities and we're failing in the SPF Record test... but... What the hell is it? My friend didn't found a good link about this, can someone help with this?
[07:15] <MrElendig> jcole: not sure, look at GpsDrive
[07:16] <MrElendig> jcole: thos "turn left" thingys are "dangerous" anyway
[07:16] <MrElendig> better to use it as a normal map

[07:17] <dr_evil> NekoKun if you don't understand, consider not to help anymore setting that thing up
[07:17] <NekoKun> dr_evil: hahahahahaahahha
[07:17] <axos88_> why is this a https site?
[07:18] <jcole> MrElendig: the windows software is not win98 compatible (only 2000/xp) so its a pain to get working in wine
[07:18] <dr_evil> btw, you don't need SPF, it's not a security problem

[07:19] <NekoKun> dr_evil: I was laughing cause in Brazil the expression used is many times used as a joke...
[07:19] <jcole> malmen: what is the url
[07:19] <Newbie_Dude> So I finally got ZSNES installed via the Synaptic Package Manager, but can't seem to find where it downloaded to or how to open it ?_?
[07:19] <Big_Les> When I touch the screen, the pointer is transposed, but not by a constant
[07:19] <tuxist> have anyone sollution for this problem
[07:19] <theRealballchalk> i set up anonmous ftp and i can't see any contents when i ftp in.  what could be the problem?
[07:20] <Big_Les> it seems to be using wacom driver
[07:20] <malmen> http://192.168.0.65:31339/0,ffffffff,ffffffff,32b3daa0
[07:20] <axos88_> PriceChild, what is my root password? I don't remember setting that
[07:20] <theRealballchalk> i can log in as anon to ftp
[07:20] <jcole> malmen: um, thats your network
[07:20] <Flannel> axos88_: There is no root password, Ubuntu uses sudo instead of the root account
[07:20] <malmen> yes
[07:20] <PriceChild> !sudo | axos88_
[07:20] <ubotu> axos88_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:20] <Big_Les> does anyonw know how i can configure wacom drivers to work with an HP pavillion tablet PC for the built-in input?
[07:20] <axos88_> PriceChild, yeah, but what if I want to log in as root?
[07:21] <axos88_> and do several tasks as root
[07:21] <PriceChild> axos88_, don't.
[07:21] <jcole> malmen: i'll need an external url
[07:21] <PriceChild> axos88_, just like you don't install debian kernels.
[07:21] <Big_Les> axos_88, you can type sudo passwd root to reset the root password
[07:21] <malmen> not have external url
[07:21] <Pici> axos88_: you could use `sudo -i` if you want an interactive sudo session.
[07:21] <r0b-> how much ram does Ubuntu Server need?
[07:21] <xpoint> theRealballchalk, sudo sh, then cd ~ftp and finaly ls -l
[07:21] <Pici> Big_Les: Please dont advocate that in this channel.
[07:21] <PriceChild> axos88_, read the guide i sent you to as it explains why you shouldn't... and how to do things like you want
[07:21] <Flannel> axos88_, Big_Les: but, there's no reason to set a root password.
[07:21] <malmen> im play that stream on windows using http://www.bitcontrol.com/download/download.shtml
[07:21] <MrElendig> r0b-: depends on what services you are going to run
[07:22] <mhz`> r0b-, depends what you plan on doing with it
[07:22] <CapaH> Is there anyone here who can tell me how I can get a 640x480 resolution to work on my LCD laptop monitor? Before I had ubuntu installed, I had windows, and it *worked fine* --- anyone?
[07:22] <r0b-> just Apache
[07:22] <axos88_> PriceChild,  Admin -> restricted driver manager says my system doesnt need any resttricted drivers....
[07:22] <r0b-> and maybe MySQL
[07:22] <xpoint> theRealballchalk, some users need to put som files there
[07:22] <roro_> I'm having trouble with my X-session starting... how do I check disk usage?
[07:22] <Pici> !enter | r0b-
[07:22] <ubotu> r0b-: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:22] <theRealballchalk> xpoint: through a browser?
[07:22] <PriceChild> axos88_, waht card?
[07:22] <theRealballchalk> haha no
[07:22] <Flannel> r0b-: How much RAM you planning on running it on?
[07:22] <mhz`> r0b-, how big/intensive are the going sites going to be
[07:22] <mhz`> Flannel, he's asking that
[07:22] <theRealballchalk> xpoint: ya i was looking which libs were missing
[07:23] <r0b-> not to intensive and 64MB
[07:23] <CapaH> No matter what I do it *ALWAYS* goes to the native 1280x800 resolution
[07:23] <axos88_> geforce 8600m
[07:23] <xpoint> theRealballchalk, browser hell no
[07:23] <Flannel> roro_: 64 should be fine
[07:23] <jcole> malmen: what does "mplayer -identify http://192.168.0.65:31339/0,ffffffff,ffffffff,32b3daa0" show?
[07:23] <Big_Les> um, so, setting the root password is forbidden knowledge?  Does ubuntu not trust people with their own machines?
[07:23] <mhz`> r0b-, what about the database use?
[07:23] <theRealballchalk> xpoint: ya htat was a joke
[07:23] <PriceChild> !sudo | Big_Les
[07:23] <ubotu> Big_Les: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:23] <roro_> Flannel: 64 doesn't check disk usage =P
[07:23] <Rod> i'd like some help with my wireless network... Under windows i can set it up just fine (wap personal, password is all). Ubuntu finds the wireless network, asks me for a wap personal key, i enter that key and 10 seconds later it asks again for the key (i dont get connected). Somebody knows what can go wrong here?
[07:23] <r0b-> the database is just gonna be for MythTV
[07:23] <PriceChild> Big_Les, ready that guide.
[07:24] <NekoKun> dr_evil: We thank a lot for your help
[07:24] <mhz`> r0b-, ram is cheap now, i'd say at least 512-1gb just to be safe
[07:24] <xpoint> theRealballchalk, you can put any file ther as ROOT, but dont do it with FTP user !
[07:24] <axos88_> PriceChild, Nvidia GeForce 8600m
[07:24] <malmen> jcole, http://monoport.com/3648
[07:24] <r0b-> mhz` thanks
[07:24] <Rod> join #ubuntu-help
[07:24] <jcole> Rod: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[07:24] <PriceChild> axos88_, that card was released after feisty's release and will require you install the drivers manually
[07:24] <mhz`> r0b-, no problemo
[07:24] <[11_Touche] > Hey guys, how do I add an alias, or a custom command, in Xchat ?? I tried to look in the help files, but no topic on that??
[07:24] <Flannel> roro_: it might be sluggish if you do anything intensive, ... hmm, I believe the server CD checks for a minimum of 32 to install (but that might be different now)
[07:24] <theRealballchalk> xpoint: thanks
[07:24] <theRealballchalk> brb
[07:24] <PriceChild> axos88_, from nvidia.com
[07:24] <Rod> what do you want out of that file jcole ?
[07:24] <Flannel> rob: too
[07:24] <axos88_> uh oh...
[07:24] <roro_> what's the command to daemonize something running in terminal
[07:25] <Rod> jcole, well good idea to look there for the sets, ill be right back!  thx and laters
[07:25] <roro_> Flannel: uh, you're talking to someone else, but referencing me, I'm not asking about memory usage.
[07:25] <mhz`> Flannel, ram is cheap though..so be safe and go 512MB-1GB
[07:25] <malmen> jcole, bcmsdb://192.168.0.65 on windows work
[07:25] <malmen> i need the bitcontrol codec to play that on windows
[07:25] <CapaH> finally I got it --- I am done, never mind, I got it
[07:25] <liu4> i currently have the newest ubuntu feasty... what will happen when a new comes out? will i need to download. burn. and install all over again?
[07:25] <jcole> malmen: can you "ping 192.168.0.65" ?
[07:25] <malmen> yes
[07:25] <malmen> i can
[07:25] <xpoint> theRealballchalk, you ftp server can be setup to allow anon ftp uploads that needs to be verify by ROOT to be downloaded, dont just make you ftp into a open gate for parate software and porn :-)
[07:26] <roro_> liu4: no, you just need to backup your user data, and then update your sources.list, and then run update-manager
[07:26] <liu4> roro k
[07:26] <Flannel> liu4: you upgrade to the new one.  Just like upgrading your packages day to day.  Don't use automatix, and keep your third party repos to a minimum (none is best) and you'll upgrade fine
[07:27] <liu4> flannel third parties? do you mean like skype etc?
[07:27] <axos88_> PriceChild, lspci | grep nvidia outputs nothing... is that normal in this case?
[07:27] <dr_evil> xpoint the fastest way to get porn and warez is to open an unsecured ftp ;)
[07:27] <CapaH> What do I hit in order to type in the name of a program -- its like ctrl+alt+f1 or something... anyone?
[07:27] <jcole> malmen: http:// is not how you want to access that url... i'm not sure what protocol to use either
[07:27] <rafaelscj> I found at Google that Texas Instruments Card Reader is native on Ubuntu, but I can't load the module, modprobe says: can't faind module
[07:27] <liu4> flannel i have installed ALOT of apps
[07:27] <CapaH> like to run an application
[07:27] <j0nas`> CapaH, alt-f2
[07:27] <xpoint> dr_evil, hehe yes more or less
[07:27] <CapaH> thanks
[07:27] <malmen> jcole, bitcontrol codec :x
[07:28] <r0b-> how do i select options in the ubuntu server installer
[07:28] <xpoint> dr_evil, next best thing is gtk-gnutella :-)
[07:28] <j0nas`> anybody know how to get the built in mic working on a sony fe690?
[07:28] <jcole> malmen: "The bitcontrol DreamBox Receiver is a supplement to the DreamBox. The DreamBox is a Set Top Box (STB) running under Linux, for further information please visit www.dream-multimedia-tv.de."
[07:29] <j0nas`> lol... "dream" box?  could you be any LESS creative?
[07:29] <Flannel> liu4: things from the normal Ubuntu repositories are fine.  Everything in there will upgrade.  If you use non-official repositories, you sometimes can run into trouble.  Skype would be part of a third party repos.  But I don't think (since it's not an integral component) it'll affect your upgrade.  You might have problems with skype itself not upgrading (might have to do some stuff manually) though
[07:29] <jcole> malmen: ironically, that device runs on linux
[07:30] <liu4> flannel gotcha
[07:30] <malmen> yes
[07:30] <malmen> i know

[07:49] <mneptok> Genomsaren: if you're worried about Linux viruses, don't be.
[07:49] <tsmithe> leku, use the "synaptics" driver in xorg.conf, and look through "man synaptics" (the manpage of the driver)
[07:49] <sstreza> mneptok: that's no reason not to use antivirus
[07:49] <leku> there are free AV programs for linux

[07:51] <dxdt> liu4: ummmm you don't really want to do that.  That's a feature not a bug.  But I trust you know what you are doing.  You should chould be able to kill the soft power off option in the bios, right?  Though this will be bad news for ubuntu.

[07:55] <erizzle> Genomsaren: linux is unaffected by windows viruses, virus protect on linux is just to keep from spreading windows viruses, linux can be a carrier for viruses but there are extremely few and rare viruses that can affect linux users, unless your worried about spreading viruses to win users 99% of linux users don't need antivirus
[07:55] <assasukasse> hi all, i need to disable desktop effects from the terminal, how can i do it?? i can't log in to disable them..
[07:55] <ramseize> errizle : what should i do next ...
[07:55] <roro_> I looked in my /var/logs and there didn't seem to be any runaway log files, my xses file from my xession crash isn't very helpful
[07:55] <roro_> du did not seem to indicate that I had any insane log files
[07:55] <roro_> it says: /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/lib/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l ":0" "roro"
[07:55] <sstreza> you should always have AV installed, whether you're on linux or mac or windows
[07:56] <roro_> sstreza: not really, it only makes sense in linux if you're running a mail server
[07:56] <ramseize> erizzle : ive done what you said? what should i do next...
[07:56] <roro_> you should have ckroot installed though
[07:56] <sebastian__> hello... what should i do to ask a question here
[07:56] <sstreza> roro_: assuming there will never be a linux virus is simply dumb
[07:57] <Genomsaren> erizzle: I know that windows viruses are not affecting linux but, there are linux viruses too... And it can be very simple. For example a keylogger application would be very simple and if I dont have an AV they can easily infect my machine...
[07:57] <erizzle> ramseize: have you read the howto's on ubuntuguide.org? they would help you understand the process a lot better
[07:57] <keb> anyone know how can i migrate users' crontabs from one system to another?  where can i find the files, if the old system is not running anymore?
[07:57] <ramseize> whats the link erizzle?
[07:58] <roro_> sstreza: linux has several innate security features that make an honest-to-goodness virus, extremely unlikely. Namely, it's nearly impossible to "spread", especially in Ubuntu, with it not having a default root account, Ergo, far more likely is a rootkit
[07:58] <erizzle> Genomsaren: the problem is for the virus to install a keylogger it has to have root privelages so unless you have a very crappy root password you really don't have to worry, user accounts don't have full admin rights in linux like they can in windows, that's why you have to use sudo to do certain things so you can temporarily attain root rights
[07:58] <Newbie_Dude> Can anyone help me set up my gamepad. The programs all recognize the button-presses but won't recognize the analog or digital directional pad. I ran a joystick calibrator and it picked up the direction pad but ZSNES isn't recognizing it, Tux Racer as well.
[07:58] <sstreza> roro_: sure, i don't disagree with you, but if someone really wanted to, they could write a Linux virus
[07:59] <efect1> speak polish
[07:59] <roro_> sstreza: linux viruses have been written, they don't spread.
[07:59] <kevinl--> roro_:  not entirely true
[07:59] <keb> what about infecting a linux system through a mozilla xpi
[07:59] <zeldafan500> LOL i sniff perminent markers.
[07:59] <Genomsaren> Do I need a root privelage for running a simple binary file? or for a process which wants to attempt internet?
[08:00] <Genomsaren> erizzle: Do I need a root privelage for running a simple binary file? or for a process which wants to attempt internet?
[08:00] <r0b-> r the ubuntu rootkit checkers even effective
[08:00] <erizzle> Rod: from what I can see there isn't any package that provides /etc/network/interfaces so it's not as simple as re-installing a package, in the future make backups of files your going to change
[08:01] <sstreza> roro_: if you want to run your own box w/o AV, that's your perogative.  but to say that Linux is "secure enough" to warrant not having AV - especially to someone who had to ask about it - seems irresponsible IMO
[08:01] <Rod> erizzle, well the file wasnt setup right anyways... I can see the wireless networks, just cant connect to them
[08:01] <sebastian__> cant connect to internet in ubuntu server
[08:01] <roro_> sstreza: linux makes up 70+% of the internet backbones. Viruses are pathetic for linux, however rootkits are not. Hence rootkit + shell scripts + windows viruses. Actually works. The type of escalation needed to get root outside of password cracking, is just not feasible with a small arbitrary binary.
[08:01] <r0b-> can ubuntu get virus
[08:01] <r0b-> ?
[08:01] <r0b-> virus's
[08:02] <zeldafan500> yes
[08:02] <zeldafan500> unlike windows
[08:02] <roro_> r0b-: theoretically yes, anything can catch a virus, practically no, unless you're running a mail server.
[08:02] <erizzle> look if your paranoid about viruses and are worried about getting one of the less than 500 viruses existing for linux, compared to the 100,000+ viruses for windows then install clamav
[08:02] <r0b-> ok
[08:02] <roro_> in which case, you can get rootkitted, and then used to spam windows viruses
[08:02] <r0b-> so i dont need AV
[08:02] <r0b-> since i use it for a desktop
[08:02] <erizzle> r0b-: I've ran linux for 10 years without AV and have never had a single virus
[08:03] <r0b-> :)
[08:03] <r0b-> ever been hacker erizzle
[08:03] <tarzeau> r0b-: http://virus.enemy.org/virus-writing-HOWTO/_html/index.html
[08:03] <liu4> freenode is the best network out there. seriously it is. the channels are active and full of people who knows their shit.
[08:03] <axos88_> erm... how do you set up a wireless nic?
[08:03] <zeldafan500> by using iwndows
[08:03] <tarzeau> liu4: ircnet is older and has good people too
[08:03] <roro_> anyone want to help me with my xsession problem?
[08:03] <zeldafan500> *windows
[08:03] <roro_> as in X is refusing to start
[08:03] <zeldafan500> axos88: by using windows
[08:04] <liu4> tarzeau well i particalarly like freenode...
[08:04] <tarzeau> roro_: do you want to bake a cake for me?
[08:04] <tarzeau> liu4: i prefer it over oftc too
[08:04] <erizzle> r0b-: you have better odds of winning the lottery then getting a virus on linux, yes I've been hacked when I first started with linux and I didn't use very good passwords, but linux has changed a lot since then. just use good passwords not dictionary words and try to mix in numbers and punctuation if you can
[08:04] <Optimus55> actually there are less than 100 viruses for linux
[08:04] <zeldafan500> windows pwnz, lol i sniff markers.
[08:04] <Rezzie> How can I delete all files/directories found when searching using [s] locate?
[08:04] <gRaCiOsO> buenas
[08:04] <OmegaCenti> Yeah... my harddrive was fscked after 30 boots. and fsck went crazy.. I cannot boot, I am running a live CD on the same computer. I REALLY need help.
[08:04] <Optimus55> i was reading last night... theres a page on wikipedia for it somewhere...
[08:04] <r0b-> so line 123-456
[08:04] <axos88_> zeldafan500, huh?
[08:05] <r0b-> like*
[08:05] <kshahnjd> I'm new to linux, I've installed Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server, need help with the server, if there is a manual of just basic commands for this shell, can someone point me to it?

[08:09] <cmo-0> I've been using debian 4 with X and a modified .xmodmap file. At the time of switch to Ubuntu 7, i thought it would be a matter of adding 'xmodmap .xmodmap' to .xsession file, however gnome went crazy and i couldn't fix the modification. except deleting it while mounting Ubuntu volume from debian 4
[08:09] <DJ-_-> zeldafan500: just dont talk about closed source will ya

[08:11] <Newbie_Dude> Anyone ever been able to get a joystick to work in Ubuntu? I read a HowTo and it says a ".joystick" file will be saved to /home/user, but I don't see it there.
[08:11] <kbrooks> DJ-_-, pm please

[08:11] <MrElendig> Newbie_Dude: . files are hidden
[08:12] <ianmcorvidae> Newbie_Dude: In a terminal, try ls -la in a terminal.
[08:12] <nickrud> xipietotec, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[08:12] <ceil420> is there a free flash editor for gnome? i don't need something like, Adobe Flash MX complicated; i just wanna do basic stuph right now :x
[08:12] <ianmcorvidae> You can then see .-prefixed files.
[08:12] <xipietotec> nickrud: I did...all I see is a repeated error that it can't load some fonts right
[08:12] <Newbie_Dude> @ianmcorvidae, MrElendig : omg, hidden files... thanks. this is getting so complicated
[08:13] <mhz`> ceil, i remember an older windows app...swish
[08:13] <wolflord> isent there a channel for beginners somewhere ??
[08:13] <wolflord> if so what is it
[08:13] <ianmcorvidae> wolflord: Not that I know of.
[08:13] <nickrud> xipietotec, could you put it on a pastebin? (pastebinit is a package for pasting from a console)
[08:13] <erizzle> wolflord: have you read ubuntuguide.org? it has tons of newbie info
[08:13] <mneptok> Newbie_Dude: press CTL-H in Nautilus (the GNOME file browser) to see hidden files
[08:13] <ceil420> mhz`, exactly, it's a Windows app :x
[08:13] <ceil420> (one i used briefly a year or two ago)
[08:13] <MrElendig> wiki.ubuntu.com is also nice
[08:14] <Newbie_Dude> wow, thanks mneptok, gonna write that down
[08:14] <mhz`> ceil...try it with wine
[08:14] <erizzle> ceil420: wine swish.exe, problem solved
[08:14] <ceil420> yall know if it works groovie like that? cos wine can't even handle mIRC properly :x
[08:15] <mhz`> that's why i'm in windows now
[08:15] <mhz`> :)
[08:15] <tont> MrElendig: ok it has worked
[08:15] <mhz`> plus i start work in 15mins
[08:15] <mhz`> :/
[08:15] <ceil420> lol
[08:15] <mneptok> mIRC?

[08:16] <ceil420> (besides the aforementioned reason)
[08:16] <kshahnjd> r0b - can you explain to me the directory structure? why for instance is the Apache install in /etc, is there a specific reason? do files there and below have special priviledges?
[08:16] <kbrooks> ceil420, no other reason.
[08:16] <ubuntu__> !grup
[08:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about grup - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:16] <tont> MrElendig: now...I try to start one new session.
[08:16] <ubuntu__> !grub
[08:16] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:16] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, the apache install is not in /etc.
[08:16] <valroadie> what does this mean...Kernel panic! - not syncing IO-APIC + timer doesnt work. Boot with apic-debug then try booting with the noapic option....could someone pm me and help me out please?
[08:16] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, the apache configuration files are in /etc
[08:17] <kbrooks> valroadie, no. it is better if they help you out here.
[08:17] <kshahnjd> I see
[08:17] <xipietotec> kshahnjd: the apache configuration files are in /etc/ because /etc/ is the system configuration dir
[08:17] <valroadie> well all the regular text just gets oin  the way
[08:17] <valroadie> but alright
[08:17] <valroadie> so can someone help me?
[08:17] <nickrud> xipietotec, ok, I see the same you do, X seems to be starting. What exactly happens?
[08:17] <erizzle> valroadie: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add noapic to the line that boots your kernel
[08:17] <kshahnjd> so all config files for any daemon are going to be placed in /etc by the OS or by the program?
[08:18] <valroadie> erizzle thank you! ill try it
[08:18] <erizzle> valroadie: np make a backup of menu.lst before you edit it in cawse you mess it up
[08:18] <xipietotec> nickrud: it loads the splash page, plays the opening sound, and then pops up with "Your X session lasted less than 10 seconds."
[08:18] <xipietotec> and spits out an error log... hold on
[08:18] <OmegaCenti> erizzle: what do you mean by fsck -f? I read the man page, and there is no f option.
[08:18] <Newbie_Dude> I'm trying to set the value of gameport to "usbhid" by typing "sudo modprobe usbhid" but I accidently already put two other values in there "2 analog,adi" How do I get analog,adi out of the values of gameport in modprobe?
[08:19] <nickrud> xipietotec, this is after you log into gdm, right?
[08:19] <xipietotec> nickrud: yep
[08:19] <valroadie> erizzle: will do :)
[08:19] <kbrooks> Newbie_Dude, uhh...
[08:19] <erizzle> OmegaCenti: fsck --help shows the -f option, it is to force a check even if the filesystem is marked clean
[08:19] <trekkme> with  "xset dpms force standby" i put both of my two connected montoors to stanby. which identifier(XXX) do i need if i wanna put only one of them to stanby using "xset -display XXX dpms force standby". i tried screen/monitor/server identifier from my xorg.conf, they wouldnt work...
[08:19] <xipietotec> here's the error log it spits out: http://pastebin.ca/618039
[08:19] <Zta> Hi.  I just tried to install Ubuntu on my laptop.  It has no cdrom so I setup af PXE environment with the netboot images which works fine.  But during installation, specifically after I've selected "Ubuntu Desktop" for installation, the installation halts and fails.  Any idea why?
[08:19] <OmegaCenti> erizzle: thats not the issue, fsck is breaking. Trying it exits with status 4
[08:20] <Newbie_Dude> kbrooks: Like I thought I needed to do "sudo modprobe analog" then I thought I needed "sudo modprobe adi" Now both values are in there, I only need one.
[08:20] <OmegaCenti> scked after 30 boots. and fsck went crazy.. I cannot boot, I am running a live CD on the same computer. I REALLY need help. Fsck keeps exiting with exit status 4 and not resolving any issues
[08:20] <kbrooks> Newbie_Dude, just use rmmod.

[08:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wireless lan - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:20] <erizzle> OmegaCenti: try gnome partition editor, see if that lists your filesystem correctly, if not you have larger problems
[08:20] <axos88_> does anyone know some docs on setting up wlan?
[08:20] <pi3> why does ubuntu use wav format for some sounds? It's been developed by ms

[08:21] <axos88_> thx
[08:21] <nickrud> xipietotec, does ~/.xsession-errors have anything more?
[08:21] <erizzle> axos88_: or what obutu said
[08:21] <kbrooks> erizzle, please do not over recommend the ubuntu guide ;-)
[08:21] <sebastian__> for setting wlan, u can use a wrapper, and use the windows drivers.. that worked for me

[08:22] <kshahnjd> wireless for ubuntu server?
[08:23] <Mathman> could someone recommend some software that would create a map of my network?  or perhaps something like traceroute but to show me which switches the packets are going through?
[08:23] <valroadie> erizzle: the boot is a folder? because all i found was an info file that i cant open...
[08:23] <kshahnjd> ifconfig brings up my current connections, how can I get up the wireless
[08:23] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, on the command line?
[08:23] <kshahnjd> yes
[08:23] <Zta> This channel is chaos =)

[08:24] <sebastian__> i moved it and it worked
[08:24] <sebastian__> :)
[08:24] <kshahnjd> im sorry if im asking ridiculous questions kbrooks ive programmed for years on windows environments and have never had to actually administrate or work on linux, only upload to it
[08:24] <rafaelscj> Can I see what users conected to my ssh server are doing?
[08:24] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, i'm typing, patience
[08:24] <_Lucretia_> hmmm, anyone know which packages to install to compile opengl progs? Using an ATi card via fglrx
[08:25] <vbanait> i nstalled ubuntu 7.XX on desktop. Ethercard is not recognised
[08:25] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, well, you do, iwlist <interface> scanning, where interface can be found by using iwconfig to find the one interface that has wireless extensions
[08:25] <r0b-> rafaelscj
[08:25] <wolflord> ok I have a windows box that has vncserver on it, and I want to use my ubuntu to connect to it, now I am trying vncviewer localhost: then the IP ( thats on my local network ) but I get an error
[08:25] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, and don't type, <interface-name-here> with the < and > included
[08:25] <vbanait> There is no entry for ethernet card/wired network
[08:25] <kshahnjd> hehe of course not
[08:25] <wolflord> vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused

[08:25] <napster_> hi. i need 2 pair my fone with my pc using bluetooth but the pc never asks for a password...wat do i do?
[08:26] <kbrooks> wolflord, wrong :-)
[08:26] <wolflord> am i missing something
[08:26] <kbrooks> wolflord, yes
[08:26] <kshahnjd> so for instance like iwlist eth1 scanning
[08:26] <rafaelscj> r0b, ...
[08:26] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, yes
[08:26] <r0b-> theres a watch command

[08:26] <valroadie> is the boot a folder? because all i found was an info file that i cant open...
[08:27] <dario> hello
[08:27] <kbrooks> wolflord, uhm, IP:0 is the correct way.
[08:27] <rafaelscj> Can I see what uses conected in my ssh server are doing?
[08:27] <wolflord> ok
[08:27] <dario> do you know how i can connect to #wiili via irc. .net from ubuntu feisty's irc
[08:27] <napster_> !bluetooth
[08:27] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[08:27] <dario> ?
[08:27] <kbrooks> wolflord, where IP is the IP of the windows pc
[08:27] <wolflord> ahhh
[08:27] <kbrooks> rafaelscj, yes, just use w
[08:27] <wolflord> ok let me try that
[08:27] <nickrud> xipietotec, was gone for a sec. Everything with X seems copacetic; have you tried creating a new user (to isolate out ~/.*)
[08:27] <valroadie> kbrooks
[08:27] <valroadie> where is this
[08:27] <valroadie> edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add noapic to the line that boots your kernel
[08:28] <xipietotec> nickrud: will do now
[08:28] <r0b-> yes rafaelscj
[08:28] <valroadie> cause the boot is an info file i cvant open
[08:28] <kbrooks> wolflord, you might want to encrypt things with ssh if you need to, e.g. over the internet
[08:28] <r0b-> http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/aix/cmds/aixcmds6/watch.htm
[08:28] <wolflord> you guys are AWSOME
[08:28] <wolflord> that worked
[08:28] <wolflord> thank you
[08:28] <kshahnjd> kbrooks it claims no scan results, but the laptop i'm working on now is connected to the wireless, is it possible that the device is disabled?
[08:28] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, check to make sure wireless is actually on
[08:28] <rafaelscj> thaks
[08:28] <Cy3berPeace> Anyone have experience getting a cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp sound card to work?
[08:28] <vbanait> Hi installed ubuntu 7.xx but eth0 not listed in connection. what to do
[08:28] <r0b-> no problem
[08:29] <xipietotec> nickrud: wait....how do I create a new user in the command line?
[08:29] <Cy3berPeace> Erpp... a Sigmatel STAC920 card to work - anyone have any experience?
[08:29] <kbrooks> wolflord, well, uhm, here's my email i guess anotequaltob@gmail.com
[08:29] <kshahnjd> how do i check if the device is enabled?
[08:29] <kbrooks> xipietotec, adduser <username>
[08:29] <bultom> kshahnjd lspci ?
[08:29] <nickrud> xipietotec, adduser <user>
[08:29] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, lspci is for seeing whether it shows, not whether its enabled
[08:30] <kshahnjd> yeah i was about to say that hehe, then how?>
[08:30] <vbanait> Hi installed ubuntu 7.xx but eth0 not listed in connection. what to do
[08:30] <bultom> lshw so , it will say you if device is requested by a driver or not
[08:30] <xipietotec> okay, brb
[08:30] <valroadie> edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add noapic to the line that boots your kernel
[08:30] <valroadie> where is that
[08:30] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, do you have a wifi light on your laptop?
[08:30] <kbrooks> valroadie, type alt+f2
[08:30] <abli> Hi! I have ubuntu 7.04 installed on my laptop, and I want to connect it through another debian computer to the internet. What do I need to install on the debian machine to be able to connect to it using that avahi-network-autoconfiguration stuff ubuntu uses?
[08:30] <valroadie> alt+f2
[08:30] <valroadie> ...
[08:30] <kbrooks> valroadie, yes. type that.
[08:31] <valroadie> where?
[08:31] <jamiejcumbria> Any one know how to get flash player 9 work with pulse audio. When the sound is running pulse audio volume control shows several source but know sound.
[08:31] <nickrud> valroadie, press the alt and f2 keys ;P
[08:31] <kbrooks> valroadie, use your keyboard. press alt, then f2 at the same time.
[08:31] <valroadie> i did
[08:31] <valroadie> its not doing anything
[08:31] <kshahnjd> valroadie: no its an older laptop, built in wireless, lshw says '*-communication UNCLAIMED'
[08:31] <Cas> abli: avahi is normally used in local networks, not internet
[08:32] <kbrooks> valroadie, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst in terminal then.
[08:32] <vbanait> Hi installed ubuntu 7.xx but eth0 not listed in connection. what to do
[08:32] <Cas> abli: what about the openssh-server?
[08:32] <kbrooks> valroadie: to get to terminal, applications > accessories > terminal
[08:32] <abli> Cas, Yes. I want to local network between my desktop computer (with debian) and laptop (which has ubuntu)
[08:32] <valroadie> my ubuntu wont even open
[08:32] <valroadie> this is before boot
[08:32] <abli> Cas, I assume I need to install some sort of avahi server on my desktop, but what?
[08:32] <valroadie> im in the disk files
[08:32] <kbrooks> valroadie, uhm, does grub show then?
[08:32] <valroadie> not in ubuntu
[08:33] <kbrooks> valroadie, when you reboot
[08:33] <Cas> abli: what exactly do you want? share files?
[08:33] <kshahnjd> if the wifi has a key, do i have to specify the key before the scan?
[08:33] <r0b-> heh im ssh'd into my Ubuntu Server VM
[08:33] <sebastian__> ,,,
[08:33] <r0b-> from windows
[08:33] <kbrooks> valroadie, if so, follow the directions at the bottom of it to get to the  command menu in grub
[08:33] <sebastian__> when i reboot the lan doesnt work
[08:33] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, no
[08:34] <mafu_> hey nickrud, creating a new user worked, but I still have no idea what's causing an immediate logout on the main user
[08:34] <OmegaCenti> mneptok: can I do it from the live cd? just terminal fsck -yf /dev/sda4?
[08:34] <abli> Cas, first, i would like to be able to ping the desktop machine from the laptop, then be able to ping outside internet from the laptop.
[08:34] <Pici> OmegaCenti: you should be able to.
[08:34] <JoshVAL> sorry internet sucks
[08:34] <JoshVAL> anyways
[08:34] <rafaelscj> kbrooks, $ watch tty2 ?
[08:34] <kbrooks> rafaelscj, no
[08:34] <JoshVAL> so im not in ubuntu im looking at the disk files on the disk
[08:35] <kbrooks> rafaelscj, you want w
[08:35] <Cas> abli: ping should be possible if you are the in same subnet
[08:35] <rafaelscj> only w?
[08:35] <cougem> i was told earlier today that there were problems with some of the update sites with 404s etc (im trying to update from 6.06 to 6.10 and i get errors saying stuff can't be found), any idea when it'll be fixed?
[08:35] <Cas> abli: if you want a remote desktop I would recommand tightVNC
[08:35] <kbrooks> rafaelscj, yes, but you need to find the user. then you can
[08:35] <nickrud> mafu_, there's a problem in one of ~/.gnome2  , .gconf  , .gonfd , .gnome , or .gnome2_private most likely. You can move those out of the way (rename) and try again. You'll loose any customization to the desktop, though
[08:35] <jdr> hey, what do I have to do to make Ubuntu read my LVM LVs on a second disk again when I reinstall it on the first disk (not in LVM,regular ext3)
[08:36] <kbrooks> rafaelscj, sudo cat /home/username/.bash_history
[08:36] <abli> Cas, Right now, if I select "wired network interface" in the default-installed applet, it starts to look for the network, then claims it is connected, but at "connection information" it shows all IP adresses as 0.0.0.0
[08:36] <r0b_> Virtual Machine's FTW!
[08:36] <OmegaCenti> I get the strangest errors from fsck
[08:36] <r0b_> :)
[08:36] <OmegaCenti> even with -yf
[08:36] <r0b_> i love this stuff
[08:36] <kbrooks> rafaelscj, where username is the desired username you want
[08:36] <Cas> abli: your network is not configured like it should
[08:36] <abli> Cas, I now ping should work, if the network is configured. My problem is configuring the network
[08:36] <kbrooks> abli: that's a nm bug
[08:36] <ge2x> how can i test if my pxe server is set up correctly?
[08:36] <mig5> hi, is there anyone here who knows anything about getting sound to work in java?
[08:37] <kshahnjd> according to man iwlist i should be root to scan
[08:37] <abli> Cas, I now its not configured. Thats what i am working on.
[08:37] <abli> Cas, so what should I do to get it configured
[08:37] <nickrud> kshahnjd, sudo iwlist
[08:37] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, then do that with sudo command
[08:37] <abli> kbrooks, you mean its already known bug? with a bug number in the BTS?
[08:37] <kbrooks> nickrud, that isnt the full command i gave him.
[08:37] <ge2x> how can i test if my pxe server is set up correctly?
[08:37] <r0b-> Virtual PC's are fun
[08:38] <kbrooks> r0b-, what is fun? :-)

[08:38] <ihate88> i am totally going nuts - switched to ubuntu from debian(nice work) - but i don't get 5.1 sound via alsa. i turned down aRts via gui and get out sound using alsa output. when i modify/create an .asoundrc the newly defined devices get applied(as aplay -L shows) - but when I define ch51dup and use it via vlc/amarok there is no music. via default device there comes out some pain-in-the-*** high pitched music without the subwoofer. heeeelp :(

[08:38] <rafaelscj> kbrooks: the user's name is rafael
[08:39] <kbrooks> abli: maybe already known, search launchpad. and i was referring to the bug that it goes through dhclient but somehow fails. however. nm says success

[08:39] <liu4> is it okey to idle in here without getting +k or +b ?

[08:39] <abli> kbrooks, I _dont_ have a dhcp server on that local network!
[08:39] <kbrooks> liu4, we all do.

[08:39] <Llama052> Hey guys

[08:46] <akos_> I've read the howto on wlan, but kinda got lost... lspci identifies my card as  Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61) . Is this compatible with the ipw2200 based cards?

[08:51] <chadeldridge> nickrud:  how do i add it?
[08:51] <ramseize> like what software?

[08:54] <kshahnjd> i still can't get the wireless up from the command line, why does it list an interface, eth1, and then say 'no such device'
[08:54] <ramseize> ahh ok
[08:54] <ramseize> do i only need a virtual machine to run it,?
[08:54] <lastelement0> Newbie_Dude: im willing to give them a shot
[08:54] <chadeldridge> nickrud:  this look ok?  http://www.pastebin.ca/618079
[08:54] <akos_> I've read the howto on wlan, but kinda got lost... lspci identifies my card as  Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61) . Is this compatible with the ipw2200 based cards?     because in ifconfig -a wlan0 doesn't get listed, and it's supposed to work out of the box
[08:54] <ramseize> any thing else?
[08:54] <captainm> ramseize: well that and a coppy of windows
[08:54] <ramseize> is that all?
[08:55] <captainm> ramseize: yup
[08:55] <ramseize> whats the site of vmware
[08:55] <nickrud> chadeldridge, looks good from here
[08:55] <Newbie_Dude> !find pocketpc
[08:55] <ubotu> Found: pocketpc-binutils, pocketpc-cab, pocketpc-g++, pocketpc-gas, pocketpc-gcc (and 1 others)
[08:55] <Newbie_Dude> lastelement0 - maybe it's one of those? :P I dunno.
[08:55] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, you're learning the tricks fast
[08:56] <Newbie_Dude> lol, thanks nickrud. I learn from the best ;)
[08:56] <ctothej> im using pulseaudio and trying to get all the configuration options right. what is the difference between the "### Load audio drivers statically" section and the "### Load audio drivers automatically on access" section in the daemon.conf file?
[08:56] <captainm> ramseize: http://www.vmware.com/ but I think it's in the repos to. Try googling for a howto.
[08:56] <ozzman> When installing Xgl (X86_64 ATI x1900 gt) would it be better to replace Xorg or as a login option?
[08:56] <akos> I've read the howto on wlan, but kinda got lost... lspci identifies my card as  Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61) .

[08:56] <ozzman> When installing Xgl (X86_64 ATI x1900 gt) would it be better to replace Xorg or install it as a login option?
[08:57] <chadeldridge> nickrud:  i assume rebooting it will cause ubuntu to start using the swap
[08:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pocketpc-cab - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:57] <kbrooks> chadeldridge, no
[08:57] <VoX> ramseize: vmware is in the repos
[08:57] <chadeldridge> kbrooks:  whats wrong ?
[08:57] <akos_> 
[08:58] <Pici> jeeze zenoss is taking a long time to compile.
[08:58] <Zta> Is it possible to specify a webserver on your LAN for use as package pool when net-installing Ubuntu?  Or is it only possible to use the predefined pools?  I was thinking of downloading the ISO and mounting it somewhere smart on the webserver for a smoother install on multiple machines.
[08:58] <akos> 
[08:58] <ozzman> When installing Xgl (X86_64 ATI x1900 gt) would it be better to replace Xorg or install it as a login option?
[08:58] <nickrud> chadeldridge, as long as it's in fstab you'll be fine
[08:58] <akos_> can anyone help me with that wlan thing? :((
[08:59] <chadeldridge> machine isnt using it though .. its just piling up in cached
[08:59] <nickrud> ozzman, login option, that way you're not locked into alpha software
[08:59] <MrElendig> akos_: what wlan thing
[08:59] <chadeldridge> 0k used
[08:59] <ramseize> vox what type of vvmware should i download in the repos
[08:59] <akos_> MrElendig, I've read the howto on wlan, but kinda got lost... lspci identifies my card as  Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61) . Is this compatible with the ipw2200 based cards?     because in ifconfig -a wlan0 doesn't get listed, and it's supposed to work out of the box
[08:59] <ozzman> Ok cool thanks
[08:59] <nickrud> chadeldridge, open a bunch of apps, like openoffice & eclipse & firefox
[09:00] <MrElendig> akos_: you can't use the ipw2200 driver with it, ofcause
[09:00] <chadeldridge> i have like 10 things open right now ... including 4 windows xp vms
[09:00] <ramseize> guys what type of vmware should i download in the repos, theres too many which one should i choose?
[09:00] <akos_> MrElendig, so what should i use?
[09:00] <chadeldridge> if its not in swap already .. its not going there
[09:00] <akos_> any howtos to aid my setup?
[09:00] <VoX> ramseize: vmware-server
[09:00] <ramseize> is that only
[09:00] <h4ngedm4n> is there a proper way to add nfs exports to ubuntu, or do i just edit /etc/fstab accordingly?
[09:01] <VoX> ramseize: i think that's all i installed. i'll check in a minute
[09:01] <ramseize> ok
[09:01] <nickrud> chadeldridge, don't have a real clue on how linux decides to swa myself. I just had your issue a while back, and I'm using swap now. Don't remember if it took a reboot or not
[09:01] <ramseize> ill be waiting
[09:01] <MrElendig> akos_: you need to put the firmware for it in /lib/firmware/
[09:01] <chadeldridge> k thanks all
[09:01] <chadeldridge> see ya
[09:02] <Frogzoo> h4ngedm4n: unless you want to play with automounts
[09:02] <MrElendig> akos_: and get the ipw4965 driver
[09:02] <akos_> MrElendig, huh?
[09:02] <akos_> MrElendig,  how to get the firmware?
[09:03] <h4ngedm4n> Frogzoo: nah i just want to have home and media directories from my nfs server mounted at start
[09:03] <ramseize> do i only need to dowbload the vmware-server? is there any thing else? in the repos that is needed in running the vmware...

[09:03] <crolle17> End of error message.
[09:03] <crolle17> this message is not very helpful. what can i do?
[09:04] <captainm> ramseize: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183209
[09:04] <nickrud> Zta, you can take a look at apt-cacher & apt-mirror for local repos; there are others as well
[09:04] <VoX> ramseize: grab vmware-server, apt/synaptic will grab a few other things aswell
[09:04] <VoX> ramseize: but that's all you need
[09:04] <Depressure> hi, anybody knows the app "httrack"

[09:15] <Pricey> pder, please don't try to be funny.
[09:15] <Pricey> Zoroxeus, it is offtopic.
[09:15] <Pricey> owahab, because it could break your system.
[09:15] <Newbie_Dude> Is it normal for the versions of the packages in the Add/Remove Applications Menu to be pretty behind the actual versions available?
[09:15] <Pricey> owahab, it is a really really bad idea.
[09:15] <rockets> kshahnjd, what kinda wifi card
[09:15] <owahab> Pricey: thanks for the advise

[09:17] <kshahnjd> ndiswrapper?
[09:17] <pi3> what are the minimum requirements for xubuntu?

[09:17] <Pricey> owahab, one of the problems with gutsy's kernel right now is that it has several regressions. What is the real problem?
[09:17] <IndyGunFreak> pi3: http://www.xubuntu.org
[09:17] <ubotu> It is spelt guTSy :)
[09:17] <Newbie_Dude> nickrud : Gutsy is the version after Fiesty?

[09:19] <vbanait> useless bot is ubotu
[09:19] <Zoroxeus> mmm well ... no one seems to be willing to vote...
[09:19] <Pricey> Zoroxeus, this channel is ubuntu support only, try #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps...
[09:19] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, I've stopped worrying about recent stuff; after using debian's unstable for a few years, it's nice to have a _stable_ platform with recent packages
[09:19] <IndyGunFreak> pi3: that will probably run Gnome, but xubuntu will be more efficient...  1st paragraph says it all..  http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/xubuntu/7.04/release/
[09:19] <Zoroxeus> thx pricey...
[09:19] <kshahnjd> rockets: i'm about to do it, i have to restart, my ethernet was not in, and i don't know how to bring it up unless it is in from the very start
[09:20] <rockets> kshahnjd, ifup eth0
[09:20] <vbanait> what is difference between kubuntu, ubuntu and xubu
[09:20] <pi3> IndyGunFreak: I prefer him to start with xubuntu, because a first slow experience would be bad
[09:20] <Anlar> nickrud: that's silly as debian's unstable is more outdated than "stable" than the stables of most of the other distros :D
[09:20] <eboxnet> gui
[09:20] <kshahnjd> thank you
[09:20] <vbanait> which is better
[09:20] <IndyGunFreak> pi3: i like xubuntu, no argument from me... I run it on a Pc that is more than capable fo running Ubuntu.
[09:21] <IndyGunFreak> pi3: i think 64mb is required for an installed system, 128mb to install from the Live CD.
[09:21] <arpa> hi , How can I download and stup MySQL on ubuntu ?
[09:21] <rockets> IndyGunFreak,  I like how fast everything goes on xubuntu, but I just like having ubuntu's polish
[09:21] <pi3> arpa: apt-get install mysql-server
[09:21] <captainm> vbanait: the debate about that still isn't settled :P
[09:21] <IndyGunFreak> rockets: yeah, nothing at all wrong with xubuntu, its great on slower hardware
[09:21] <nickrud> Anlar, I liked it because it because it was generally more stable than the other stable releases, and recent enough. When I was really interested, I used experimental
[09:21] <vbanait> oh god. then what should i install.
[09:22] <vbanait> mandriva and ubuntu which is better
[09:22] <IndyGunFreak> vbanait: what are your current system specs?
[09:22] <MrElendig> ubuntu
[09:22] <rockets> vbanait, thats funny.
[09:22] <vbanait> ubuntu
[09:22] <MrElendig> sadly to say so, mandriva has gone way downhill
[09:22] <rockets> Who uses mandriva anymore?
[09:22] <IndyGunFreak> vbanait: mandriva couldn't carry ubuntu's jockstrap.
[09:22] <Newbie_Dude> How do I make a "link" on my desktop of the "Computer?"
[09:22] <vbanait> but it does not recognise my eth card
[09:23] <vbanait> ubuntu
[09:23] <MrElendig> it was realy good back in the day it was named mandrake
[09:23] <sephlaire> how can I set key bindings to my mouse buttons? for instance going back and forth through pages in a web browser
[09:23] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, run gconf-editor, and navigate to apps/nautilus/desktop
[09:23] <captainm> vbanait: xubuntu is great for older hardware KDE and Gnome is really a matter of preference. I would start with ubuntu and (It's easy to install kde and switch between them)
[09:23] <rockets> vbanait, what kind of ethernet card is it
[09:23] <bsheep> arpa: to setup just run mysql_secure_install
[09:23] <IndyGunFreak> MrElendig: i agree, it was one of the first distros i got up and running pretty good(Mandrake 10.0 Official, IIRC)
[09:23] <arpa> hey , now I installed ubuntu , 10 min ago , I didn't set any pwd for root | whats my root's pwd ?
[09:23] <sebastian__> my ethernet connection doesnt start in the boot
[09:23] <Pricey> !sudo | arpa
[09:23] <ubotu> arpa: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:23] <vbanait> i donot know.
[09:23] <sebastian__> i have to connect it manually
[09:23] <tec> Hello everyone
[09:23] <MrElendig> arpa: ther isn't one
[09:24] <IndyGunFreak> vbanait: then the ideal thing to do, is figure out how to configure your ethernet card, and correct the problem
[09:24] <vbanait> i am using laptop now
[09:24] <rockets> vbanait, does mandriva recognize it?
[09:24] <Biteyn-1> I was wondering if there was a way to have a script check 200+ links that redirect to other links and save the link that it redirects to
[09:24] <tec> anyone here familiar with setting up ubuntu server?
[09:24] <akos_> ummm what is Message from syslogd@akos at Fri Jul 13 22:22:43 2007 ...
[09:24] <akos_> akos kernel: [ 8099.564301]  Oops: 0002 [1]  SMP
[09:24] <akos_> Killed
[09:24] <Biteyn-1> like if i had blah.com/blah1 and it redirects to blah23232.com/newblah1 i want it to save all the newlinks
[09:24] <IndyGunFreak> vbanait: open a terminal, and type lspci, then hit enter, and look through the output, and find your ethernet device, and tell us what ti is.
[09:24] <Newbie_Dude> @nickrud - thanks, worked perfectly
[09:24] <vbanait> windows recognise it
[09:24] <arpa> ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thanks
[09:24] <nickrud> Newbie_Dude, yw
[09:24] <sephlaire> how can I set key bindings to my mouse buttons? for instance going back and forth through pages in a web browser
[09:24] <rockets> vbanait, windows is windows
[09:25] <rockets> vbanait, paste the output of lspci on pastebin.com
[09:25] <vbanait> i am on laptop. the problem is with desktop at office
[09:25] <rockets> and give me the link
[09:25] <bruenig> sephlaire, mouse gestures extension in firefox, if you want to set universal mouse bindings, xbindkeys is good
[09:25] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[09:25] <IndyGunFreak> so why ar eyou here asking?
[09:25] <tec> I'm having trouble setting up an email server, had a linux pro come in and install qmail on top of postfix / exim4 and now nothing is working
[09:25] <bruenig> sephlaire, xbindkeys will only bind them to commands though
[09:26] <vbanait> can you suggest some way to recognise the problem
[09:26] <IndyGunFreak> linux pro?
[09:26] <stmiller> Linux XP pro?
[09:26] <kshahnjd> rockets: installed, what next?
[09:26] <IndyGunFreak> vbanait: even if we could, are you gonna remember till you get to the office?
[09:26] <nickrud> rflol
[09:26] <vbanait> i will print it
[09:26] <amites> yeah, he seemed to know enough to get in the door, once here I became much less confident
[09:26] <IndyGunFreak> vbanait: way to many variables, we need to know the device
[09:26] <rockets> kshahnjd, modprobe bcm43xx
[09:27] <rockets> sudo modprobe bcm43xx rather
[09:27] <amites> but my experience with Linux extends to my laptop, never had to deal with servers
[09:27] <amites>  = tec
[09:27] <vbanait> okay. i will have to take laptop to office and then chat with you
[09:27] <rockets> kshahnjd, i assume you chose yes to extract the firmware
[09:27] <kshahnjd> rockets: done, but with no response from the command line
[09:27] <kshahnjd> yes
[09:28] <rockets> there isnt supposed to be any response
[09:28] <rockets> the wifi light, if you have one, should be on now
[09:28] <vbanait> but it had recognised the hardware. command lspi
[09:28] <rockets> click on the network manager to see if it detects any networks
[09:28] <vbanait> nil
[09:28] <IndyGunFreak> vbanait: its lspci
[09:28] <vbanait> only modem
[09:28] <vbanait> ya
[09:28] <amites> what kind of laptop? I remebmer having a very similiar problem
[09:29] <amites> remember
[09:29] <vbanait> celeron desktop
[09:29] <nickrud> vbanait, lspci just reads what the card/device says about itself; doesn't mean the kernel knows how to use it
[09:29] <vbanait> okay.
[09:29] <vbanait> how can i teach the kernel
[09:29] <kshahnjd> there is no light on the laptop, let me try iwlist now
[09:29] <IndyGunFreak> vbanait: wed need to know the type of card to tell you that, thats what i told you
[09:29] <nickrud> vbanait, depends on what lspci says ;)
[09:30] <amites> sorry to jump in, don't think I'd be much help there
[09:30] <IndyGunFreak> vbanait: if you'd like me to just piss in the wind and tell you something, i can, but theres a 99.9% chance it won't work
[09:30] <Redhammer> hello
[09:30] <Redhammer> I have a question how do I get java 1.5 installed
[09:30] <kshahnjd> rockets: lshw still says networK:1 DISABLED
[09:30] <Redhammer> the repo's and easyubuntu, automatix etc all only have 1.6
[09:30] <IndyGunFreak> !java
[09:30] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[09:30] <nickrud> !java > Redhammer  (see pm)
[09:30] <Redhammer> thanks
[09:30] <vbanait> oh god. i will be back with you once in office, or i will switch over to windows
[09:30] <rockets> kshahnjd, dont worry about it
[09:30] <Redhammer> doh I could have thought of that
[09:30] <rockets> kshahnjd, left click on the network manager
[09:31] <kshahnjd> i'm using ubuntu server
[09:31] <Anlar> Redhammer: why on earth you would install 1.5 ?
[09:31] <kshahnjd> no gui
[09:31] <rockets> kshahnjd, you want wifi on ubuntu server?
[09:31] <rockets> kshahnjd, what the hell are you doing
[09:31] <henn_tech> Hey guys. I've got a really old laptop here.  I need to install linux on it.  It's got 32mb RAM, 1.4GB of storage, and Intel Pentium 150mhz.  I've been having difficulty thus far getting anything to install, can anyone give me some suggestions?
[09:31] <crolle17> hey guys i need help with vmware-server. i get an error-message: Unable to change virtual machine power state: The process exited with an error:
[09:31] <crolle17> End of error message.
[09:31] <rockets> kshahnjd, anyway ok, do sudo iwlist scanning
[09:31] <kshahnjd> i did, it still claims 'interface doesn't support scanning: no such device"
[09:31] <amites> anyone here know how I could disable qmail and get postfix working? or disable postfix and get qmail working, just need to get the mail server up
[09:32] <IndyGunFreak> henn_tech: you'r e gonna want to look at ultra light distros for that, slackware, dsl, puppy
[09:32] <OmegaCenti> I really, truly, desperately, supremely, ultimately, need help. Can't boot, fsck fails, life sucks. Help!!!!
[09:32] <rockets> kshahnjd, well then, sudo apt-get remove bcmfwcutterwhateveritscalled
[09:32] <rockets> kshahnjd, apt-get install build-essential
[09:32] <rockets> download the source code to ndiswrapper, and download the windows XP driver for that wireless card
[09:32] <rockets> ndiswrapper lets you use windows drivers for wifi under linux
[09:32] <MARJAN-MAKEDONI> hello
[09:33] <kshahnjd> got it
[09:33] <amites> kshahnjd: if it's supported, check against the list at the ndiswrapper site
[09:33] <arpa> now I just installed MySQL , and MySQL Administrator tools , how can I login to mysql administration interface
[09:33] <henn_tech> IndyGunFreak: slackware has given me troubles so far. I havent tried dsl or puppy yet
[09:33] <OmegaCenti> I really, truly, desperately, supremely, ultimately, need help. Can't boot, fsck fails, life sucks. Help!!!!
[09:33] <rockets> kshahnjd, even if its not supported it often works
[09:33] <MARJAN-MAKEDONI> can somebody tell me how can i run mp3 on ubuntu?
[09:33] <IndyGunFreak> henn_tech: if those dont do it, look at Vector
[09:33] <rockets> MARJAN-MAKEDONI, are you running ubuntu 7.04
[09:33] <crolle17> i created a virtual machine with vm-ware-server. but that thing is not running.
[09:33] <Brent_> Hello everyone
[09:34] <IndyGunFreak> henn_tech: personally, of the 4, i'd probably want DSL, but thats just opinion(DSL stands for Damn Small Linux)
[09:34] <MARJAN-MAKEDONI> yes i run the newest ubuntu
[09:34] <rockets> crolle17, #vmware
[09:34] <XomboX> anyone know how to completly (not only the bookmarks) edit menu Places on gnome panel?
[09:34] <Pricey> !mp3 | MARJAN-MAKEDONI
[09:34] <ubotu> MARJAN-MAKEDONI: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[09:34] <rockets> MARJAN-MAKEDONI, then if you just double click on the MP3, ubuntu will prompt you to install the mp3 codecs automatically
[09:34] <Brent_> Does anyone here have experience with GRUB, like fixing, deleting, etc?(dumb question, maybe?)
[09:34] <henn_tech> IndyGunFreak: I've tried Vector and Slackware, both have given me problems.  I'll try dsl next.  thanks for the tips
[09:34] <MARJAN-MAKEDONI> but i dont have internet at home
[09:34] <Pricey> !anyone | Brent_
[09:34] <ubotu> Brent_: 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?
[09:35] <rockets> MARJAN-MAKEDONI, why . . . . ?
[09:35] <IndyGunFreak> henn_tech: no prob, if Dsl or Puppy doesn't go, maybe that one that starst with a Z.. can't remember the name of it.
[09:35] <OmegaCenti> I really, truly, desperately, supremely, ultimately, need help. Can't boot, fsck fails, life sucks. Help!!!!
[09:35] <IndyGunFreak> supposed to be really light
[09:35] <rockets> MARJAN-MAKEDONI, ok go to packages.ubuntu.com and download all the gstreamer0.10 packages
[09:35] <Brent_> Pricey, I'm sorry but I don't get what you mean there
[09:35] <rockets> MARJAN-MAKEDONI, and bring them home with you on a disk
[09:35] <Pricey> Brent_, what's your real question? :)
[09:35] <arpa> Marjan r u persian?
[09:35] <IndyGunFreak> henn_tech: zenwalk, thats it.
[09:35] <XomboX> anyone know how to completly (not only the bookmarks) edit menu Places on gnome panel?
[09:35] <IndyGunFreak> i think its built around slack, so you might have probs with it alos.
[09:35] <IndyGunFreak> also.
[09:35] <arpa> now I just installed MySQL , and MySQL Administrator tools , how can I login to mysql administration interface
[09:36] <henn_tech> IndyGunFreak: k, thanks again.
[09:36] <kshahnjd> rockets: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper ?
[09:36] <IndyGunFreak> henn_tech: no prob, good luck....
[09:36] <rockets> kshahnjd, NO!
[09:36] <kshahnjd> lol
[09:36] <Brent_> Well, I installed Ubuntu on an external drive. I had Grub installed from when I installed it before(I think). If I don't have the external drive plugged in, it goes to Windows just fine, but if it's plugged in, I get a NTLDR is Missing error
[09:36] <kshahnjd> sry
[09:36] <rockets> kshahnjd, prepackedged ndiswraper is useless
[09:36] <kshahnjd> k
[09:36] <Brent_> And I can't get Ubuntu to boot
[09:36] <rockets> kshahnjd, download the sourcecode
[09:36] <rockets> kshahnjd, /msg me
[09:36] <Brent_> I do have it set to boot from external disk first, right after CD boot
[09:37] <captainm> henn_tech: what about feather linux? Don't know anything about it but it's also small ;)
[09:37] <meme> Hello, can anyone tell me whats on the ubuntu 7.04 dvd. Im running live from it now and am going to install to hard drive.
[09:37] <blublobl1> meme: basically the full OS
[09:37] <arpa> in ubuntu I installed MySQL and MySQL Administrator , but how can i Login to that?
[09:38] <meme> It has the repositorys?
[09:38] <IndyGunFreak> henn_tech: i actually forgot about fluxbuntu, if you're wanting to try an ubuntu derivative
[09:38] <axos88_> MrElendig: That script isn't working... I had to remove on # at a copy statement, and after that it compiles, but modprobe ilw4965 will hang
[09:38] <blublobl1> meme: to install extra software you need to download it
[09:38] <IndyGunFreak> it would run on that machine
[09:38] <Brent_> By the way, I wasn't even able to run Windows at one point, but I did the fixmbr in the recovery on the boot disk. Now, Windows starts fine with no external drive connected, but when it is, I get the errors. Is there any way to fix GRUB?
[09:38] <bulmer> meme can you type mount  and see which devices are mounted?
[09:39] <meme> Ok, it seems to run faster from dvd than from the cd in live mode.
[09:39] <meme> yes
[09:39] <OmegaCenti> I really, truly, desperately, supremely, ultimately, need help. Can't boot, fsck fails, life sucks. Help!!!!
[09:39] <OmegaCenti> Seriously.
[09:39] <Brent_> I have the Super Grub Disk, if that helps, or makes it easier
[09:39] <henn_tech> IndyGunFreak: i've been trying fluxbuntu, but it appears it only comes in Live CD? and it won't load on the laptop
[09:39] <arpa> :(
[09:39] <arpa> :((
[09:39] <amites> arpa take a look at http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+mysql&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[09:39] <IndyGunFreak> henn_tech: no, it should have an alternate install cd, i'm pretty sure, hang on
[09:40] <cap> How can you find out how much RAM you have on your computer on ubuntu?
[09:40] <henn_tech> IndyGunFreak: k
[09:40] <bulmer> free
[09:40] <C-{pR0F> Hey guys , why i can't play my mp3's and videos !!
[09:40] <meme> proc on /proc type proc (rw)
[09:40] <C-{pR0F> i keep having this message You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins.
[09:40] <bulmer> meme is that all?
[09:40] <meme> sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) and a bunch of others like that
[09:40] <amites> I had a "LInux Pro" come in here to complete a configuration of an Ubuntu Server, he installed qmail on top of postfix / exim4 anyone know how I coudl disable one to get the other to work, right now nothing is running and is VERY bad
[09:40] <blublobl1> C-{pR0F: you need to enable multimedia codes from the Add/Remove menu
[09:41] <IndyGunFreak> henn_tech: sorry, i thought it dd, guess it doesn
[09:41] <IndyGunFreak> t
[09:41] <sudobash> it should count it up when your computer starts unless you disabled cmos startup diagnostics
[09:41] <meme> tmpfs on /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
[09:41] <sudobash> ram that is
[09:41] <IndyGunFreak> henn_tech: you could install ubuntu server edition(which is a CLi system), then install flux ontop of it.
[09:41] <akos__> anyone knows what drivers are to be used and how to install  them for this Wless NIC? Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection (rev 61)
[09:41] <meme> /dev/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type none (rw,bind)
[09:41] <sudobash> probably use ndiswrapper
[09:42] <akos__> oh... ok
[09:42] <bulmer> meme anymore? i was looking for /  to which device it is mounted
[09:42] <henn_tech> IndyGunFreak: k, i will try that as well
[09:42] <meme> fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
[09:42] <IndyGunFreak> henn_tech: thats the direction i'd go, ease of ubuntu, light weight of flux.
[09:42] <meme> varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755)
[09:42] <meme> varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
[09:42] <meme> udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
[09:42] <IndyGunFreak> henn_tech: once you get the cli system installed, all you'd have to do is sudo apt-get install fluxbox(i think), and it would provide you with the fluxbox gui
[09:42] <BaD_CrC> is there a way to format a ext2fs with no access permissions or file ownership?
[09:42] <Baarhisveiki> anyone here having trouble with "playing " flight gear"?

[09:43] <meme> thats all of them
[09:44] <arpa> I downloaded one rpm file on ubuntu how can I open it?
[09:44] <OmegaCenti> Alright, holy $%^& I need help. My partitions are unbootable, and fsck had something to do with it. this has completely STOPPED me from using my computer. this isnt a cosmetic issue. This is an absolute priority for me.
[09:44] <sudobash> rpm is redhat package manager
[09:44] <bulmer> meme i was going to suggest to chroot and then mount the dvd drive, but i cant tell which File system you should be chrooting to
[09:44] <MrElendig> arpa: rpmextract
[09:44] <nomic> i want all windows to go over the bottom tawsk bar or bar with open windows buttons on it
[09:44] <Brent_> No luck on my problem, eh?
[09:44] <BaD_CrC> arpa: file roller should be able to open it. alien to convert it to deb.
[09:44] <GizDrak_> I am looking for a backup/archive package that is easy to search when restoring files any suggestions
[09:44] <nomic> it covers some of my windwos at the bottom
[09:44] <nomic> ??
[09:44] <meme> Im just going to let it install to drive
[09:44] <MrElendig> arpa: have yous  seen if you can get the app with apt-get instead?
[09:45] <KI4IKL> My gconf server randomly shuts down...coudl that be the reason my mouse stops working at random times?
[09:45] <meme> Iv had enough of micro$
[09:45] <nomic> im running xfce
[09:45] <OmegaCenti> Alright, holy $%^& I need help. My partitions are unbootable, and fsck had something to do with it. this has completely STOPPED me from using my computer. this isnt a cosmetic issue. This is an absolute priority for me.
[09:46] <nomic> omegacenti i think there is a bootdisk?
[09:46] <OmegaCenti> nomic: I am running the live cd right now.
[09:46] <nomic> if your boot sector or bootup is fsck***d
[09:46] <OmegaCenti> nomic: only way I am talking.
[09:46] <nomic> ok
[09:46] <sudobash> lol
[09:46] <R0B`> i love the power of ubuntu
[09:46] <R0B`> :)
[09:46] <nomic> you maybe able to mount the drive for your system using lite cd
[09:46] <nomic> live cd
[09:46] <nomic> thats as far as I at least can help you
[09:46] <sudobash> you boot sector might be bad
[09:46] <OmegaCenti> I don't want to mount it with errors on it.
[09:47] <KI4IKL> Does gconf server have anything to do with my mouse
[09:47] <pyrohotdog> Anybody know how to fix my ethernet/internet? All of a sudden I've got "eth0:avah" and I don't get a 192.168.0.x IP like the rest of the network.
[09:47] <nomic> you maybe need to mount it to fix it omega
[09:47] <sudobash> i have a 60 gig with a bad boot sector and i just use it for storage
[09:47] <nomic> mounting it won't wreck anything
[09:47] <bulmer> pyrohotdog: you're connected via ethernet cable?
[09:48] <Brent_> I don't mean to nag, but I'm banging my head on the wall here trying to figure this out. This kind of stuff seems to be what keeps many people away from Linux. Very frustrating
[09:48] <pyrohotdog> bulmer: Yes. One minute it was working, then a restart and it wasn't.
[09:48] <OmegaCenti> nomic: would rather not with the insane amount of info coming back from fsck
[09:48] <cap> i'm a computer n00b. Anyone help me interpret my output from the free command in the terminal? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29829/plain/
[09:48] <nomic> keep asking omega
[09:48] <sudobash> Brent... not frustrating... fun....
[09:48] <bulmer> pyrohotdog: if you type ip link show all   what do you get?
[09:48] <Brent_> It would be fun if I could get Ubuntu running. But I can't get past grub, so frustrating
[09:49] <Big_Les> brent_ what's your problem with grub?
[09:49] <sx66> ummm
[09:49] <bulmer> pyrohotdog: rather just ip link show
[09:49] <GizDrak_> I need to backup 2TBs of data every week and keep the backups for 5 years and also have easy access to restore files. any ideas on a good software package to take care of this?
[09:49] <sudobash> gizdrak... wow...
[09:49] <bulmer> GizDrak_: umm wasnt Amanda was designed for that kind of thing?
[09:50] <pyrohotdog> the loopback back and the eth0
[09:50] <pyrohotdog> What am I looking for?
[09:50] <NacC|RailmeNOW> dach
[09:50] <sudobash> 2 TB a week?
[09:50] <Brent_> I'll try to say it all again real quick. Basically, I have Ubuntu on a partition on an external drive. Windows XP is on my main laptop drive. When no external drive is plugged in, Windows boots fine. But when it's plugged in, I get the NTLDR is Missing error, and can't boot
[09:50] <GizDrak_> yup 2tb a week
[09:50] <noelferreira> how can i recover a file shift deleted?
[09:50] <bulmer> pyrohotdog: is the interface you're interested in showing up?
[09:50] <sudobash> Brent_ usb 2?
[09:50] <Brent_> Yes
[09:50] <blublobl1> noelferreira: with difficulty
[09:50] <sudobash> ok check your bios settings
[09:50] <Big_Les> brent_ i'm going to make some wild guesses:
[09:51] <Brent_> I'm willing to listen to anything
[09:51] <sudobash> might be bad cable
[09:51] <Big_Les> see which disk drive is given priority
[09:51] <sudobash> but more likely its bios
[09:51] <sudobash> related
[09:51] <pyrohotdog> Yes, eth0 is what I use. It says NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP.... etc
[09:51] <Big_Les> like does the external one get a lower scsi id number?
[09:51] <Brent_> Nope, brand new cable and the drive works perfectly for everything else. Also, my bios is set to boot from CD, then USB hard drive, THEN the main drive
[09:51] <preaction> GizDrak_: you have half a petabyte of available storage somewhere? are you using removable media?
[09:51] <sx66> dang
[09:51] <bulmer> brent: why not boot on your XP then plug in the USB device after booting?
[09:51] <Brent_> I don't know about id numbers, I'm still new at this stuff(linux, that is)
[09:51] <sudobash> check the IRQ numbers is what they are saying
[09:52] <pyrohotdog> ifconfig shows an eth0:avah that's getting an IP, but it's 168.254.11.25
[09:52] <Big_Les> what happens if you plug in the drive after booting?
[09:52] <pyrohotdog> it's not a network ip
[09:52] <OmegaCenti> Alright, holy $%^& I need help. My partitions are unbootable, and fsck had something to do with it. this has completely STOPPED me from using my computer. this isnt a cosmetic issue. This is an absolute priority for me.
[09:52] <Big_Les> well, a usb device is not a scsi device, so don't worry about it
[09:52] <Brent_> Well, it goes to Windows if it's not plugged in. In Windows, the drive shows up fine, or at least the partition that I have set to NTFS
[09:52] <sudobash> OmegaCenti....
[09:52] <Big_Les> so you installed linux only on the external drive?
[09:52] <OmegaCenti> sudobash: yes?
 4 500gb External Hard Drives
[09:52] <sudobash> format....
[09:53] <Brent_> Yes, Linux, but on a partition, not the whole drive
[09:53] <OmegaCenti> sudobash: #$%^ no....
[09:53] <bulmer> GizDrak_:  have a look at Amanda
[09:53] <R0B`> ;)
[09:53] <Brent_> Is there any way to just get rid of Grub all together and have the bios just detect the drive and boot to it? Or do I HAVE to use Grub?
[09:53] <noelferreira> how can i recover a file shift deleted?
[09:53] <preaction> GizDrak_: that's 2tb, not 520tb. you said you need to keep weekly backups for five years
[09:53] <Big_Les> under linux, there's a file called something like /boot/m[something] .list
[09:53] <pyrohotdog> I just don't get why it'd break after a restart.
[09:54] <Big_Les> you need a boot loader, but it doesn't have to be grub
 we buy new drives weekly
[09:54] <Anlar> Brent_: yes you CAN remove boot loader but it's the most stupid thing you can do
[09:54] <itch^> Hello guys
[09:54] <Brent_> Well, I don't mind using Grub if I can get it working. I also have the Super Grub Disk if that can help
[09:54] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i use Gnome-rdp to connect to a vista machine on my netwrok?.
[09:54] <Big_Les> go look in /boot
[09:54] <Big_Les> i'm blanking on the name of the file you want to examine
[09:54] <bulmer> Brent_: you have not said what do you want done ...you want to boot from the USB?
[09:55] <Big_Les> m-something.lst
[09:55] <Newbie_Dude> What's better for Windows XP games in Ubuntu -- Wine or Cedega?
[09:55] <Big_Les> i'm guessing that it's pointing at the wrong device
[09:55] <Brent_> I want to have Windows boot in most situations, but Ubuntu when I have the external drive plugged in
[09:55] <preaction> GizDrak_: good god are you made of money? wait. don't answer that. your best bet is to simply copy the data over on backup day, as long as the data does not consist of files that can be written to while the backup is being performed
[09:55] <Big_Les> something like hd0, when it needs to be pointing at the usb drive
[09:55] <C-{pR0F> does ubuntu play Mp3 and video files????
[09:55] <preaction> C-{pR0F: yes
[09:55] <Brent_> Big_Les, how do I access this file?
 I am not made of money the company I work for is lol
[09:55] <Comrade-Sergei> C-{pR0F, yes
[09:55] <Big_Les> open an xterm
[09:56] <Big_Les> cd / boot
[09:56] <Big_Les> ls
[09:56] <Brent_> Can I access it using the live disk?
[09:56] <preaction> !enter | Big_Les
[09:56] <ubotu> Big_Les: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[09:56] <Newbie_Dude> C-{pR0F - Yah, someone answered this a while ago for you. Download the codecs for MP3 from Applications > Add/Remove Menu
[09:56] <Brent_> Cause I can access the external drive's partitions from within the Ubuntu live disk
[09:56] <C-{pR0F> preaction : can u tell me how , i've this message You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins.
[09:56] <MrElendig> C-{pR0F: with the correct codecs installed, yes
[09:56] <preaction> !mp3 | C-{pR0F
[09:56] <ubotu> C-{pR0F: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[09:56] <MrElendig> !restricted | C-{pR0F
[09:56] <Big_Les> you can do that on any unix command line
[09:57] <Brent_> Sorry, I'm just not too familiar with command line yet. So I can do this in a terminal in the live disk, maybe?
 I need a way to search the archives for non-linux people to restore files. We are backup job data that may be reused in the future so it has to be easy for someone to pull a drive and restore the files they need.
[09:57] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i use Gnome-rdp to connect to a vista machine on my netwrok?.
[09:57] <Big_Les> yes, aboslutely, except that the path will be somewhat different because the /boot you want isn't on the root drive, it's on the external drive
[09:57] <Ranpha1> i have a sshfs mount but evertime i want to delete a file it isn't allowed. Making files is however no problem what could this be?
[09:58] <itch^> I`m having a bit of trouble with Azureus. Immediately after I start it, it crashes. Here`s the output: http://pastebin.com/d2bd0bb2e . Can somebody please take a look and gimme a hint about what it`s wrong. Thanks.
[09:58] <Brent_> I did find a file in my boot directory on the drive where Ubuntu is installed. It's boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:58] <Brent_> Could that be the one I need?
[09:58] <preaction> GizDrak_: so they'll have to connect all four drives and search. this is an adminstrative process that you should not be having "non-linux people" doing.
[09:59] <Newbie_Dude> Can anyone suggest a good, basic, clean Address Book program for Ubuntu?
[09:59] <Big_Les> brent_ yeah that's it
[09:59] <Brent_> Or something like that
[09:59] <dxdt> itch^: what java are you using?  Th Sun java or the other one?
[09:59] <Brent_> Cool. So what do I do with that file?
[09:59] <Big_Les> it has the config for your grub
[09:59] <Big_Les> so, it could be pointing the wrong place
[10:00] <jamiejcumbria> I used a prog to remove thing of gnome panel can't remember what it was called anyone tell me?
[10:00] <Big_Les> grub shows you a list of things that you can boot, right?  or does it not even get that far?
[10:00] <preaction> GizDrak_: teach them how to use "find" from the command-line. or perhaps the generic ubuntu "search" will work (and find the ones on the backup not the main system)
[10:01] <Brent_> No, it doesn't even get that far. It USED to, but nothing would boot. Ubuntu would get a "22" error, and windows wouldn't load either, NTLDR is Missing error. So I used fixmbr to get Windows working again, but now I don't even get into the OS list
[10:01] <Newbie_Dude> Address Book program -- Anyone know a good one?
[10:01] <preaction> GizDrak_: in Places > Search for Files -- you can specify a place to start from. have your external disks when connected be automounted (which should by default)
[10:01] <z3r0ph3wl> hej, im playing with grub and i need to know how is named NTFS partition (hd0,1 or other) cuz i want to make that partition bootable
[10:01] <preaction> Brent_: fixmbr is for windows, windows cannot boot linux (normally)
[10:01] <Big_Les> brent_ does it need to installed in a special place, like the first sector on the internal drive or something?
[10:01] <Brent_> I'm not sure, this is all new to me
[10:02] <captainm> Newbie_Dude: evolution has one I think
[10:02] <z3r0ph3wl> hej, im playing with grub and i need to know how is named NTFS partition (hd0,1 or other) cuz i want to make that partition bootable. what command i could use to find out it?
[10:02] <preaction> Brent_: you removed grub entirely, you're using the windows bootloaded now
[10:02] <preaction> !repeat | z3r0ph3wl
[10:02] <ubotu> z3r0ph3wl: 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
[10:02] <Newbie_Dude> captainm : OK I'll check it out, thanks.
[10:02] <Brent_> I have reinstalled Ubuntu since then. Shouldn't it have put Grub back in again?
[10:02] <Big_Les> what did you say your boot order was?
[10:02] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: you have used Applications ->Internet -> terminal server client?
[10:02] <Brent_> CD, EXTERNAL USB DRIVE, MAIN SYSTEM DRIVE
[10:03] <preaction> !caps | Brent_
[10:03] <ubotu> Brent_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[10:03] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, hold on im trying to be fancy here'
[10:03] <Big_Les> ok, so if it's on the first sector of the usb, that should be ok
[10:03] <JayRoe> can someone tell me how I make Feisty boot this: "compiz --replace --only-current-screen -c emerald"
[10:03] <Big_Les> but it works from the CD . . .
[10:03] <sudobash> your usb drives partition is messed up some how
[10:03] <Brent_> I don't know if it is. The MAIN part of the drive is just Windows storage
[10:03] <preaction> Brent_: you installed grub to the USB drive's MBR?
[10:03] <Brent_> I don't know
[10:03] <Big_Les> preaction asks a good question
[10:03] <preaction> !startup | JayRoe
[10:03] <ubotu> JayRoe: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[10:03] <bulmer> Brent_: you have to realized, USB is a bit slower, so you have to keep it trying until it can boot off of it
[10:03] <grogoreo> using avidemuxI saved an avi video to jpegs, edited about half of them but when I try to put them back into avidemux with: $ avidemux *   I can only open the files that I edited. All the others it says that they are garbage
[10:04] <GizDrak_> preaction: thanks for the advice. I think I got a good starting point to work out a system. 90% of the time a administrator will be handling the restoring of files. just that other 10% of the time I worried about
[10:04] <Big_Les> Boot loaders MUST be in the MBR
[10:04] <Brent_> I installed Ubuntu, and it did whatever it did
[10:04] <Brent_> I don't know how to put the boot loader in the MBR
[10:04] <JayRoe> preaction how about a modprobe?
[10:04] <Big_Les> have you ever been able to boot any OS from the usb drive?
[10:04] <Brent_> This is a new drive, and it's the first Linux that I've ever installed on an external drive
[10:05] <preaction> GizDrak_: good luck. next thing you know a user's going to call you at 4am saying "something's wrong, i was just walking past and everything stopped working." ;)
[10:05] <Brent_> So no I guess
[10:05] <MajorPayne> Brent_: Does your Bios let you boot from USB?
[10:05] <Brent_> Yes
[10:05] <preaction> JayRoe: uhm... what does modprobe have to do with this?
[10:05] <GizDrak_> preaction: that already do that. Normally they just forgot to click the right script :-/
[10:06] <JayRoe> preaction I want compiz and my remote control to work at boot
[10:06] <Brent_> I'm not a computer newbie, just a linux newbie. So that's why I'm just not used to all this, it's never been needed before
[10:06] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, how do i set the gnome client to listen?
[10:06] <preaction> JayRoe: you want that run when you login, you do not want it run at boot. that command will replace your window manager (which doesn't exist until you login)
[10:06] <sudobash> actually i think you need to install the boot loader on the main drive
[10:06] <captainm> Brent_ Isn't using syslinux an option?
[10:06] <Big_Les> brent_, i would try putting GRUB on the internal drive and always booting through it.
[10:06] <sudobash> and have the option in GRUB or LILO to boot to usb or HD
[10:06] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: huh? client to listen? its the server that listens not the client
[10:06] <sudobash> yeah
[10:06] <Brent_> How do I go back and put GRUB on the main drive?
[10:06] <Brent_> without breaking things, that is
[10:06] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer ok what...?
[10:06] <preaction> GizDrak_: i'm tempted to advise you go BOFH on the users... you actually let them touch your servers? </offtopic>
[10:06] <Newbie_Dude> captainm - The Evolution Address Book is awesome, thanks again. Just what I needed.
[10:07] <Big_Les> does the rescue disk offer the option of installing grub?
[10:07] <Brent_> Are you talking about the Super Grub Disk?
[10:07] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, ok i wanna do it all wioth tightvnc
[10:07] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: you have used Applications ->Internet -> terminal server client? use this to connect to a windows xp or 2003
[10:07] <captainm> Newbie_Dude: Evolution is awesome
[10:07] <Brent_> It has a ton of options, but I'm not sure what they all are yet
[10:07] <preaction> Big_Les: yes. you can use a terminal to grub-install /dev/hda (or something like that)
[10:07] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, this is vista
[10:07] <axos88_> Can someone pleeease help me with starting my wlan?
[10:07] <axos88_> i just can't install the drivers... i'd need iwl4965 i gues
[10:07] <sudobash> comrade why?
[10:07] <Brent_> Any time I've ever tried to type anything suggested into a terminal, it never works. I always get errors
[10:08] <MrElendig> axos88_: iwconfig wlan0 essid some_metwork && dhclient wlan0
[10:08] <Comrade-Sergei> sudobash, thats all hp offers anymore
[10:08] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: vista too, i prefer to use NXMachine client than VNC
[10:08] <GizDrak_> preaction: No they do not have direct access to the servers some of them have limited remote access.
[10:08] <sudobash> Brent_ then you havent installed anything then
[10:08] <mneptok> Brent_: is the keyboard right side up?
[10:08] <sudobash> or much
[10:08] <sudobash> lol
[10:08] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, ok is there a gui to NXMachine?
[10:08] <Brent_> Errr, I think(LOL!)
[10:08] <akos__> MrElendig, wlan0 no such device
[10:08] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: yes, its fast
[10:08] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, in the repos i assume?
[10:08] <Big_Les> ok, so if it were me, i would try putting a linux-friendly boot loader on the internal drive and putting it in the boot order before the usb drive.  However, I would be certain to have a windows rescue disk on hand before trying this, because if it doesn't work, your computer will not boot at all without intervention.
[10:09] <sudobash> Brent_ install all updates and then some
[10:09] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: sorry i got it confused..NXMAchine is for X server as client
[10:09] <Brent_> I don't know how to install JUST the boot loader, and what updates would those be?
[10:09] <sudobash> mainly you should read
[10:09] <MrElendig> akos__: iwconfig to find the real name
[10:09] <eifzon> When I am trying to remove gaim and like bittorrent, gnome-btdownload and ubuntu-desktop is also wanted to get unistalled, why? is that bad?
[10:09] <MrElendig> iwconfig without an option
[10:10] <Big_Les> it should be an option on one of the disks you have.  i'm guessing, but i would be really surprised if it wasn't.
[10:10] <sudobash> if you are saying that the commands that are given through this channel are not working you may be missing updates/binaries....
[10:10] <dxdt> eifzon: it is ok it is just a metapackage.
[10:10] <akos__> MrElendig, i don't have the wlan driver loaded
[10:10] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, im not seeing it in the repos...
[10:10] <eifzon> dxdt: same with gaim
[10:10] <r0b-> how do i do the watch command in ubuntu
[10:10] <r0b-> ?
[10:10] <Brent_> I guess I can try using the Super Grub Disk to see if it has the option to reinstall it, maybe?
[10:10] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: its not from the repos..its from its own site
[10:10] <Big_Les> sounds like a good place to start
[10:10] <dxdt> eifzon: it sounds really scary but it is just basically telling the system that you are removing some of the basic components that came with teh install is all.  It doesn't actually uninstall the desktop.  It just sounds scary.
[10:11] <akos__> MrElendig, i tried doing that script you gave me, but modprobe iwl4965 hangs
[10:11] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: ..NXMAchine is for X server as client and not for rdp (windows)
[10:11] <captainm> eifzon: It's a metapackage. A way for synaptic to install multiple packages at once iirc
[10:11] <Brent_> Once installed, should it detect the OS properly? As long as I select the proper order?
[10:11] <eifzon> dxdt: good :}
[10:11] <grogoreo> though, if I manually open some of the 'garbage' files then it works ok
[10:11] <eifzon> hehe
[10:11] <akos__> MrElendig, this is an amd64 machine
[10:11] <eifzon> just wanted to be sure
[10:11] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer i wanna use vnc
[10:11] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, i got tight vnc on my vista laptop
[10:11] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer,  i cant stand wmp 11 and i really want amarok omn it
[10:11] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: you want from linux to vista or vista to linux?
[10:12] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, linux to vista
[10:12] <Brent_> I'm going to go try the SGD and I'll come back if/when it doesn't work
[10:12] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: tightvnc is okay
[10:12] <Brent_> Just warning you though. I really don't know what I'm doing!
[10:12] <Big_Les> my question: I am trying to config X on a tablet PC: an HP Pavillion.  the x config files lists wacom tablets in it.  surprisingly, this works to move the pointer around when you use the stylus on the screen, but the pointer is transposed to the wrong location.  I think that i probably need to reassign the top_left, bottom_right sort of numbers.  Does anybody know what sort of syntax i would use to do that or if there's software to let you figure out scr
[10:12] <Big_Les> een coordinates on the fly?
[10:12] <Anlar> Comrade-Sergei: windows comes with good technology on its own, it was actually developed by the best (Citrix) and just rocks if you know how to use it properly
[10:13] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer,  this website http://www.nomachine.com/index.php
[10:13] <Comrade-Sergei> anlar whaere is it?
[10:13] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: yes thats for NXMachine client
[10:13] <bulmer> or server
[10:13] <mhz`-> someone buy me a new laptop
[10:13] <mhz`-> :)
[10:13] <Big_Les> brent_ if it gets fracked up and you have a windows rescue disk, you just put the windows boot loader back on and you're not any worse off than you were before.
[10:14] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, i want the server right?
[10:14] <Big_Les> ok, is there an irc channel for ubuntu or debian that tends to get tablet oc users?
[10:14] <r0b-> can someone help me
[10:14] <r0b-> ?
[10:14] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: both really
[10:15] <Comrade-Sergei> ah
[10:15] <Big_Les> i meant to say "tablet pc"
[10:15] <Newbie_Dude> If a program was made for KDE - like "KTurtle" from the Add/Remove Apps - does that mean I shouldn't use it in Ubuntu?
[10:15] <preaction> Newbie_Dude: no, you can use it just fine
[10:15] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: but this product is more for X server than rtp on windows
[10:15] <Pricey> Big_Les, not really sorry
[10:15] <eifzon> I just installed ubuntu from alternate cd, what driver's is the best for: "Asus GeForce 7950GT" ?
[10:15] <Warbo> Have there been any updates to Epiphany within the past few days? The page rendering has become terrible, it is mangling blogger.com, slashdot, linux.com and others
[10:15] <burner> Newbie_Dude, you may use it, but it will use a few more resources if kde libs aren't loaded for any other reason
[10:16] <t2> hi,  i'm following ubuntuguide.org in a section called " How to have Firestarter start without the root password".  It says that this is not secure can anyone tell me why ?   (i will be doing on this on my home machine)
[10:16] <Anlar> warbo: no
[10:16] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer maybe i can use the memote desktop connection thingy in vista
[10:16] <Big_Les> shoot, man, almost everything works even though it's a weird-ass hp thing
[10:16] <MTecknology> Can anybody help me? I just want to insert the date into the filename
[10:16] <Newbie_Dude> burner, preaction : thanks
[10:16] <burner> Warbo, probably your profile... ~/.gconf somewhere
[10:16] <t2> currently everytime firestarter starts up i have to enter sudo password
[10:16] <Warbo> burner: I'll have a look
[10:16] <Big_Les> MTech: into the file name of what?
[10:16] <preaction> t2: if you allow it, you allow anyone at all to mess with your iptables. if there are holes in firestarter, users may use it to achieve a root shell.
[10:17] <preaction> t2: you only need to run firestarter to actually change your iptables, you don't need it running all the time
[10:17] <Big_Les> MTecknology in a script or what?
[10:17] <MTecknology> Big_Les, ya
[10:17] <axos88> MrElendig, ?...
[10:17] <t2> preaction:  are you refering to users over the internet who gain access to my machine or people using my machine locally ?    i want to see icon gui so i can see whats going on...
[10:17] <Big_Les> In bash?  In perl?  What language are you using?
[10:18] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer, dling
[10:18] <Big_Les> Also worth noting that "Prgramming Perl" is great as is the o'reilley book on bash
[10:18] <Darkyn> hello
[10:18] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: good luck
[10:18] <MTecknology> Big_Les, bash
[10:18] <preaction> t2: users using your machine locally. it's possible to achieve knowledge of what's going on w/o root access (by parsing /var/log/messages)
[10:18] <Darkyn> how do i change users in ubuntu
[10:18] <Comrade-Sergei> ill need it
[10:19] <sayers> My motherboard can't detect my CD Driver for some reason?
[10:19] <Newbie_Dude> burner - so if it might use more resources, does that mean I'm better off with a GNOME-based IRC client instead of a KDE one? I'm using Konversation (KDE) IRC client now...
[10:19] <t2> preaction: so if i am the only user of this machine at home... then removing startup password will be safe ?
[10:19] <Warbo> Darkyn: Change some user preferences, or switch to a different user?
[10:19] <noelferreira> how can i recover a file shift deleted?
[10:19] <Darkyn> every time i go to switch users it says i dont have permission and i am logged being root
[10:19] <noelferreira> how can i undelet a file shift deleted?
[10:19] <MTecknology> Big_Les, found it, thganks
[10:19] <Darkyn> i dont want to be root
[10:19] <burner> Newbie_Dude, take a look at your ram usage and stuff and you tell me ;)  gnome-system-monitor will enlighten a little bit of the situation.  I'd say if you like so many KDE apps, just go KDE :)
[10:20] <Anlar> noelferreira: buh-bye file :) deleting means deleting.
[10:20] <Warbo> Darkyn: Are you using su? You need to call it with sudo su
[10:20] <jamiejcumbria> any on know how to disable the log out button on gnome
[10:20] <osxdude|lapto1> I CHANGED THE ROOT PASSWORD! YAHOO!
[10:20] <Big_Les> well, you can do something like touch foo`date`, but you need to first get the dates out of the date command output
[10:20] <Newbie_Dude> go KDE... omg
[10:20] <noelferreira> how Warbo?
[10:20] <burner> jamiejcumbria, sabayon?
[10:20] <preaction> t2: again, same thing. firestarter must run as root. running things as root for extended periods of time is not good.
[10:20] <preaction> !caps | osxdude|lapto1
[10:20] <noelferreira> how can i call it?
[10:20] <ubotu> osxdude|lapto1: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[10:20] <Darkyn> i tryed that i think
[10:20] <preaction> !root | osxdude|lapto1
[10:20] <ubotu> osxdude|lapto1: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[10:20] <Comrade-Sergei> bulmer,  it syas i cant install it because depeindency not satifiyible "nxserver"
[10:20] <Darkyn> let me see
[10:20] <sudobash> osxdude change the root password by using the root password or by some other manner?

[10:21] <sudobash> does anyone know if i decide to put ubuntu on an iMac to see how it works... will i be able to put Mac OS X back onto the iMac if I decide to?
[10:21] <bulmer> Comrade-Sergei: you may have to google for the help on installing it
[10:21] <Warbo> noelferreira: run "sudo su"
[10:21] <jamiejcumbria> burner: Thanks
[10:21] <osxdude|lapto1> sudobash: no, using user  settings :P
[10:21] <Darkyn> i cant do it
[10:21] <sudobash> wow your cool osxdude
[10:21] <Warbo> Darkyn: Try running "sudo -s -H" then running su from there
[10:21] <t2> preaction:  yes i understand the risks of root it's  just that since this risk only affects local physical users of the machine (and not those on the internet) then since i am the only user i shouldn't have to worry about this
[10:22] <Big_Les> MTek, you could do seconds from the grand epoch, it you're just looking for unique IDs
[10:22] <Darkyn> what do i enter
[10:22] <Darkyn> ok
[10:22] <sam123> how do i find out the package information?
[10:22] <Darkyn> says enter new linux password
[10:22] <Comrade-Sergei> lol bulmer im dumb i eed the client
[10:22] <sam123> !dstats feisty fawn
[10:22] <noelferreira> and then Warbo?
[10:23] <Warbo> noelferreira: And then what? That is it
[10:23] <Warbo> Darkyn, it should ask for your normal user password
[10:23] <sam123> !dstats 7.04

[10:23] <sudobash> Dead as dead can be is what the doctor tells me
[10:24] <sam123> how do i find out the package stats?
[10:24] <Darkyn> how do i start ubuntu under regular user
[10:24] <Darkyn> i cant use startx
[10:24] <ge2x> how can i determine if i have installed pxe server correctly? what port does it use?
[10:25] <sudobash> what happens when you try startx
[10:25] <sudobash> ?
[10:25] <Warbo> Darkyn, usually the graphics are started with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

[10:28] <Warbo> These webpages are completely unusable in Epiphany :( I don't know what's caused it
[10:28] <akio> there are only 28 people in there?
[10:28] <akio> sudobash: ?
[10:28] <sdouble> it's all about quality, not quantity
[10:29] <sdouble> 28 people that know about compiz, or 1111 people that don't.  You decide.  =]

[10:30] <anywhere> hi folks...
[10:30] <anywhere> i'm using ubuntu 7.04 and switched to xfce because my computer is very slow. i'm very satisfied with it but one problem is the menu. most applications are shown in the menu, but not all... kdevelop for instance, is not in it. in the gnome menu however, it seems to be. alacarte shows every application. does anybody know how to add applications to the menu?
[10:30] <neozen> yeah
[10:31] <neozen> the I think the appfinder can do that
[10:31] <sam123> !aptinfo
[10:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about aptinfo - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:31] <Brent_> I'm having troubles getting GRUB to work. I can't seem to get it to actually boot any operating systems
[10:31] <osxdude|laptop> !grub
[10:31] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:31] <osxdude|laptop> !grub | Brent_
[10:31] <Ranpha1> if i mount a hdd and want to have acces for everboy how can i do this?
[10:31] <ubotu> Brent_: please see above
[10:32] <nickrooster> anywhere: edit ~/.xfce4/menu.xml
[10:32] <neozen> anywhere: unfortunately... they removed that from the menu since dapper... so I'll look up the name of the executable for ye
[10:32] <bobbob1016> I have a few computers I'm hoping to sell in a garage sale tomorrow, I was thinking of putting edubuntu or something on them, any ideas for a distro, or programs to put on it, to sell the computers as kid friendly?
[10:32] <bobbob1016> such as parental controls, and things like that
[10:32] <neozen> anywhere: or you could do as nickrooster recommends..... (probably easier)
[10:32] <osxdude|laptop> bobbob1016:  use windows :P
[10:32] <disinterested> hahaha bill gates isnt the richest man anymore
[10:32] <sdouble> disinterested: is it that mexican man?
[10:32] <sam123> how do i find out the package stats for ubuntu?
[10:33] <anywhere> nickrooster, this files doesn't handle apps, it "includes" an external menu for this
[10:33] <disinterested> yep
[10:33] <dxdt> disinterested: welcome to weeks ago.
[10:33] <Anlar> disinterested: hahaha he is still richer than 99% of the countries of the world
[10:33] <bobbob1016> osxdude|laptop, they are old, they could do 98
[10:33] <sdouble> wow, he was far behind still last I knew
[10:33] <Warbo> disinterested: He was overtaken though, he hasn't gone down. Shame
[10:33] <Brent_> I'm sorry, but that page that was linked to is just plain confusing to me
[10:33] <nickrooster> anywhere: - I'm sorry, I didn't understand that
[10:33] <Brent_> Grub loads, but doesn't work at all
[10:33] <disinterested> yeah but it will eventually hapen
[10:34] <disinterested> if windows users quit bowing to their masters
[10:34] <neozen> nickrooster: the actual applications are included in from a different file....
[10:34] <sn0w> join #ubuntu-effects
[10:35] <nickrooster> neozen: ah, sorry - I've actually never used XFCE, I just googled for that answer real quick
[10:35] <Brun> how i can see video 1024x768? i nned codecs?
[10:35] <neozen> nickrooster: heh... no problem
[10:35] <Brent_> How can I get GRUB loaded on my main partition? It seems to be loaded on my external drive, but I don't know why
[10:35] <neozen> anywhere: scope out #xubuntu they'll have real answers for you
[10:35] <Brent_> And will it damage Windows or the main hard drive if I install it there?
[10:35] <osxdude|laptop> Brent_: Move it.
[10:35] <SurfnKid> hi guys, could someone help me format a new hard drive?
[10:35] <C-{pR0F> Thank guys ,,, the video is working !
[10:35] <Brent_> I don't know how
[10:35] <MrElendig> Brent_: because you installed it on the external?
[10:35] <nickrooster> Brent_: Without doing a reinstall?
[10:35] <SurfnKid> I loaded the ubnutu live CD
[10:35] <zaggynl> Anyone knows what to do against frequent usb resets? they are driving me insane
[10:35] <SurfnKid> Im on the desktop now using Gparted
[10:35] <kismet> Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-backports/universe/source/Sources.bz2  MD5Sum mismatch, *sorry for repeating*
[10:35] <zaggynl> both usb devices operate normally in windows :(
[10:36] <SurfnKid> and I see the USB hard drive
[10:36] <anywhere> nickrooster, ~.xfce4/menu.xml doesn't define the application section of the menu, instead it says: <include type="system" style="simple" unique="true" legacy="true"/>. which may me that the app menu is included from another file.
[10:36] <Brent_> I installed it from Ubuntu, I'm assuming. It didn't ask me
[10:36] <MrElendig> SurfnKid: cfdisk and mkfs.ext3 -O dir_index
[10:36] <SurfnKid> how can I format it for ext3?
[10:36] <Pie-rate> I forgot to put /boot on a different partition on my external hard drive's ubuntu install, so when i tried to boot it on a piece of shit it gave me grub error 13. what's the simplest way to fix this? i'm not too far into customizing it, so if there's no easy way to change it reinstalling would be acceptable.
[10:36] <SurfnKid> ah
[10:36] <SurfnKid> MrElendig: cfdisk?
[10:36] <anywhere> neozen: okay, i'll try that. thanks
[10:36] <SurfnKid> even though its a USB IDE hard drive?
[10:36] <Anlar> Pie-rate: having to be on separate partition is not a real requirement, there has not been such need in years anymore.. something else is wrong
[10:36] <MrElendig> SurfnKid: chdisk is a command line tool for setting up partions
[10:36] <yazeed> sex
[10:36] <yazeed> sex
[10:36] <yazeed> sex
[10:36] <yazeed> sex
[10:36] <MrElendig> cf*
[10:36] <nickrooster> anywhere: I'm assuming that you can overload the standard sections in your home directory's menu.xml to include your own custom entries - that is how blackbox, for example works
[10:36] <yazeed> sex
[10:36] <yazeed> sex
[10:37] <SurfnKid> MrElendig: gotcha
[10:37] <Brent_> I'm willing to start over. What is the best way to COMPLETELY remove Ubuntu and it's partitions, along with GRUB, and start over?
[10:37] <Brent_> Or will that even do any good?
[10:37] <nickrooster> Brent_: I would just reinstall
[10:37] <zaggynl> Anyone knows what to do against frequent usb resets? they are driving me insane
[10:37] <SurfnKid> MrElendig:  let me ask, will it set it up the same way as an internal hard drive, lets say i.e. a new linux partiton running ubuntu?
[10:38] <MrElendig> SurfnKid: exact same way
[10:38] <nickrooster> Brent_: On the last page of the installer, there are advanced options that say which drive you want to install the bootloader on
[10:38] <Brent_> I have already tried deleting partitions, remaking them, and reinstalling Ubuntu
[10:38] <SurfnKid> ok cool let me try it
[10:38] <Anlar> zaggynl: kernel bug likely, you should report it at launchpad
[10:38] <GizDrak_> Brent_ just run the live cd and then use gparted to repartition and format the drive
[10:38] <Brun> how can i see video 1024x768? avi files. i need codecs or players?
[10:38] <Brent_> Oh
[10:38] <Pie-rate> Anlar: hmm
[10:38] <zaggynl> Anlar, done that, a few weeks ago
[10:38] <nickrooster> Brent_: By default it should install on (0,0), which is just the first hard drive in the hierarchy
[10:38] <Brent_> Ok, One more question. Since I THINK that Grub is on my external instead of my main drive, how do I get rid of it?
[10:38] <MrElendig> Brent_: depends on what codec that is used on the movie
[10:38] <Pie-rate> Anlar: ok i'm guessing grub doesn't know which hard drive to boot from because its been moved to a different system.
[10:38] <Pie-rate> Anlar: is there a better boot loader?
[10:38] <SurfnKid> MrElendig:  how do i specify where the device is?
[10:39] <MrElendig> cfdisk /dev/something
[10:39] <eifzon> hmm
[10:39] <nickrooster> Anlar: I prefer grub, but you can try LILO
[10:39] <SurfnKid> ok
[10:39] <Anlar> Pie-rate: grub can handle the drive moving also, because your bios sets it always as 0,0 when you boot from usb.. something entirely else is wrong
[10:39] <eifzon> why do i get this when i am trying to mount my other hdd? http://pastebin.ca/618218 and http://pastebin.ca/618221
[10:39] <Pie-rate> Anlar: it boots from my main box, and my laptop.
[10:40] <Brent_> If I select where to install Grub during the reinstall, will it then load from the new location instead?
[10:40] <Pie-rate> Anlar: let me test my laptop again right now
[10:40] <Anlar> Pie-rate: if it doesn't boot somewhere the bios of that computer is severely broken
[10:40] <nickrooster> Brent_: Yes, it should, but only if that drive is the first one it hits when doing the boot after the POST
[10:40] <sam123> How do i find out useful package information like i can by typing in '!dstats' in #Debian?
[10:40] <Pie-rate> Anlar: its an older computer, and it boots windows fine. its one of the ones where i work
[10:40] <Brent_> Am I right in assuming that since Windows loads just fine when my external drive isn't plugged in, that Grub isn't on that drive?
[10:40] <preaction> sam123: !info <package>
[10:41] <nickrooster> Brent_: You want grub on whatever drive you normally boot from
[10:41] <preaction> sam123: but it might be best to private message ubotu with that sort of thing, or use google
[10:41] <osxdude|desktop> Pie-rate: keep windows on it :P
[10:41] <nickrooster> Brent_: Could be? That would be weird....
[10:41] <Pie-rate> osxdude|desktop: fuck windows
[10:41] <Brent_> So it would come up regardless of having the external drive plugged in
[10:41] <BaD_CrC> i wonder if i should try writing a little gui interface for moblock-deb
[10:41] <nickrooster> Brent_: Was the external drive plugged in when you did the install?
[10:41] <Tchaka> Hello, on my disk; I have one NTFS partition for Windows, one unused partition, one SWAP and finally one EXT3 partition for Ubuntu. I would like to install another distribution on my unused partition, is it possible?
[10:41] <sam123> preaction i want to know information about all the software on the repositories
[10:41] <ompaul> !ohmy | Pie-rate
[10:41] <ubotu> Pie-rate: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:41] <Anlar> Pie-rate: ok then.. well, if grub fails like that it is likely otheres will as well.. but you can set up lilo as well, then you need that small boot partition at the beginning of desk
[10:41] <Brent_> Right now, Windows loads WITHOUT any loader. It just boots as normal. When I plug in my external drive, Grub runs, but none of the items work
[10:42] <Pie-rate> ompaul: fuck windows
[10:42] <Pie-rate> ubotu: fuck windows
[10:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fuck windows - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:42] <Pie-rate> no really
[10:42] <Brent_> Yes, the drive was plugged in during install. It's the drive I put Ubuntu on
[10:42] <Pricey> Pie-rate, please watch your language.
[10:42] <Pie-rate> yes, yes. i'm sorry.
[10:42] <tomeks> hi all, can anyone help me with a wifi card?
[10:42] <BaD_CrC> my my such language
[10:42] <Brun> how can i see video 1024x768? avi files. i need codecs or players?
[10:42] <BaD_CrC> i hope my kids didn't see that
[10:42] <nickrooster> Brent_: Oh, well, so you want to intall ubuntu to the usb drive, but you want grub on your main drive?
[10:43] <Pie-rate> Anlar: why is syslinux used instead of grub for usb flash drives?
[10:43] <sdouble> BaD_CrC: might be a good idea that they do since that's the way the world is headed  =/
[10:43] <preaction> sam123: use apt-cache, apt-file, use google. i don't know what !dstats in #Debian does so i don't know what kind of info you're looking for
[10:43] <Brent_> I guess so. That's what somebody told me here last time I was in(about an hour ago). They said it needs installed on the main drive
[10:43] <Anlar> Pie-rate: there's no real reason. it's just yet another project for re-inventing wheel.
[10:43] <Brent_> Right now, grub doesn't run unless I have my external drive plugged in(which is where Ubuntu is installed)
[10:44] <sam123> preaction i want to know the installed size, compressed size and amount of packages
[10:44] <tomeks> I have a big problem with d-link dwl 520 E1
[10:44] <nickrooster> Brent_: well, hmmm - if you do a reinstall and format the drive, but change the option to install grub onto the other drive (which I think should be (1,0)), you should be fine
[10:44] <SurfnKid> MrElendig: ok this is funny i just loaded cfdisk, silly question. is this as similar as the msdos fdisk?
[10:44] <tomeks> tried to google it but nothing helped
[10:45] <Brent_> Well, I'll try doing all that with the Ubuntu live disk, and I'll come back if/when I have problems
[10:45] <Brent_> I don't know what else to try
[10:45] <Pie-rate> Anlar: laptop booted fine. so its just a problem with the system?
[10:45] <nickrooster> Brent_: Good luck! You should be fine
[10:45] <BaD_CrC> hmmm, i'm at a bit of a toss up... i wonder which toolkit i should build my moblock-deb gui under. gtk or qt or what...
[10:45] <Brent_> Thanks for the help guys. I'll probably be back!
[10:45] <preaction> sam123: try apt-cache stats <packagename>?
[10:46] <Anlar> Pie-rate: older systems have generally problems sometimes with booting from usb.. shouldn't but the bios emulation for the beginning of booting up can be buggy...
[10:46] <Pie-rate> Anlar: oh
[10:46] <captainm> SurfnKid: yup
[10:47] <disinterested> for lunch my iguanas get cantalope i get soup
[10:47] <ianmcorvidae> sam123: You want to open up a terminal and type 'sudo apt-cache stats'
[10:47] <osxdude|laptop> Oh no...the apt-get is locked to something else...and I can't do anything with synaptic... any help?
[10:47] <Pie-rate> Anlar: when i was talking about doing this someone mentioned using a floppy to make it boot from usb properly
[10:47] <ianmcorvidae> sam123: There is not currently a bot that will do that, however.
[10:47] <preaction> ianmcorvidae: you don't need sudo for apt-cache last i knew
[10:47] <ianmcorvidae> preaction: Ah. Never been sure.
[10:47] <BaD_CrC> apt-cache works fine w/o sudo
[10:47] <SurfnKid> captainm: I loaded cfdisk and Im following the screen steps, I chose new physical partition, and then type.. what do I chose for linux ext3?
[10:48] <SurfnKid> 82?
[10:48] <captainm> isn't there a command to see all the codes?
[10:48] <sam123> im still not told the information i need but i must go now
[10:49] <r0b-> webmin is being a pain
[10:49] <Film> my heart bleeds
[10:49] <r0b-> i cant connect to my vmware server of Ubuntu
[10:49] <BaD_CrC> webmin... *shudder*
[10:49] <kbrooks> hi everyone
[10:49] <SurfnKid> captainm: the closest i see is '82 Linux swap / Solaris' or '81 Minix / old linux'
[10:50] <SurfnKid> oh wait there's more
[10:50] <lui4> shalom peeps
[10:50] <Abhi123> how can i update and install apache2??
[10:50] <lui4> ops wrong chan
[10:50] <SurfnKid> lui4: shalom
[10:50] <Abhi123> which is the command?
[10:50] <lui4> surfnkid :)
[10:50] <captainm> SurfnKid: I'm formatting my pendrive now ;)
[10:50] <Abhi123> apt-get update apache2 ??
[10:50] <napster_> hi. i have plugged my phone into my computer with a cable and now i need 2 know wat port it is on 4 multisync. how do i find out the port?
[10:50] <sdouble> sudo apt-get install apache2
[10:50] <SurfnKid> captainm: to linux ext3? what code did you use
[10:50] <Abhi123> once i update will it automatically install?
[10:51] <sdouble> funny, I just did it 5 minutes ago
[10:51] <Abhi123> sdouble, i already have apache.. now i want update the installation
[10:51] <captainm> SurfnKid: I'm checking it out now, normally I use fdisk (didn't even know cfdisk exists)
[10:51] <zaggynl> Anyone knows what to do against frequent usb resets? they are driving me insane
[10:51] <ANTDx1> does anybody here know anything about irssi?
[10:51] <sdouble> Abhi123: did you just install it?
[10:51] <Pie-rate> how would i make a script that runs as root when the system boots before X starts? i want to delete xorg.conf
[10:52] <Abhi123> sdouble, i have older version
[10:52] <Pie-rate> or replace xorg.conf with something very generic
[10:52] <Ranpha1> evertime i want to delete something with sshfs it denies acces . copy works only delete not. how can i fix this?
[10:52] <SurfnKid> well MrElendig threw in a hint. I was using Gparted, but it asks to set a label, 'msdos,amiga,bsd...'  I dont know what that is or what to chose
[10:52] <Abhi123> now i want to update that without overwriting the config files
[10:52] <osxdude|desktop> oh no...Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)...and no other synaptics are opened. Help?
[10:52] <sdouble> Abhi123: do you at least have 2?
[10:52] <napster_> so can any1 help me find out which port my fone is plyugged into?
[10:52] <Abhi123> sdouble, i have only 1
[10:52] <SurfnKid> captainm: and he suggested cfdisk which is a bit more handy, except it manages a lot of formats
[10:53] <SurfnKid> I chose 83
[10:53] <sdouble> hmmm, you should really do a fresh install since there will be different options and some older settings may no longer be valid
[10:53] <napster_> !ports

[10:56] <napster_> sorry
[10:56] <SurfnKid> and with Gparted I formatted to ext3
[10:57] <captainm> SurfnKid: yup: mkfs.ext3 -O dir_index
[10:57] <napster_> so NewGuy: which port is it on?
[10:57] <neverblue> trying to get RealPlayer to stream music, how do I see which device realplayer is actually using?
[10:57] <napster_> i need the ttySx

[10:59] <blubloblu> r0b-, try "w"
[10:59] <SurfnKid> captainm: ok its formatting now
[10:59] <r0b-> i want it to constantly check though
[10:59] <SurfnKid> captainm: yeah same here, and formatting is one that has to be concrete in me, but i hardly format anything these days

[11:00] <Drk_Guy> ...
[11:01] <blubloblu> r0b-, I can't think of anything off the top of my head. You could probably do it with a simple bash script
[11:01] <Drk_Guy> your device wasn't made to comply with Linux krnl?
[11:01] <Drk_Guy> Mybe
[11:01] <Drk_Guy> Idk
[11:01] <SurfnKid> captainm: lol Im actually watching Gparted do mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 on the details page, (and its done now)

[11:02] <rizhun> is Ubuntu supposed to do a full fsck on EVERY boot ?
[11:02] <Pie-rate> no
[11:02] <rizhun> it takes ages.
[11:02] <captainm> SurfnKid: nice one, I'm not the best at this stuff so I'm glad it worked out
[11:02] <rizhun> Pie-rate: you know where something like that would be set?
[11:02] <SurfnKid> captainm: it did, thanks for the help
[11:02] <SurfnKid> MrElendig: thanks again :) its done
[11:02] <Pie-rate> nope, but mine doesn't. what's it say before it runs fsck?
[11:02] <Drk_Guy> rizhun, maybe messing up with boot-scripts
[11:03] <bronze--> I need some help with GRUB. I need to boot up linux using the GRUB terminal, because the menu is not "installed"/ set up. I have windows xp on sda1, linux on sda2. How can this be done?
[11:03] <tck> whats a good screen recorder to make vids in ubuntu?
[11:03] <SurfnKid> bbl
[11:03] <Drk_Guy> I only use static Ip, so i had to comment some lines to avoid checking for dchp at boot-up

[11:03] <blubloblu> I need somebody to explain how I can reset ALL my wireless networking settings and configuration to their defaults: ndiswrapper, drivers, /etc/interfaces...
[11:04] <und3rB3ar> mmmMMmm grubs
[11:04] <rizhun> it doesn't actually say anything. It just sits on the start-up splash screen for ages, then goes to a black screen saying it has successfully fsck'd all the disks
[11:04] <Ranpha1> When i mount a encrypted Hdd with sshfs i can't delete files. If i connect over ssh with buildin gnome app it works . What has to be extra in sshfs?
[11:04] <Drk_Guy> bronze?
[11:04] <Drk_Guy> you with me?
[11:04] <Pelo> blubloblu, off the top of my head I would suggest you look arounf for related .conf files and delete them
[11:04] <Drk_Guy> Pelo, remember me?
[11:05] <Pelo> Drk_Guy,  you smell familiar
[11:05] <Drk_Guy> Hahaha
[11:05] <Drk_Guy> The menu.lst
[11:05] <Pelo> Drk_Guy,  what can'T I help you with today
[11:05] <bronze--> Drk_Guy: yeah, but I don't know what to add to it.
[11:05] <Drk_Guy> Not so much, i moved on to PuppyLinux now
[11:05] <blubloblu> Pelo: is there anywhere that will provide default config files for ubuntu?
[11:05] <collin> I am having a problem with my display settings can anyone help
[11:05] <Pelo> Drk_Guy,  that's like going to a hospital and askign if they remember you because you were injured
[11:05] <bronze--> Drk_Guy: And I have to log on using chroot. Just a sec, finding my tutorial :)
[11:06] <Drk_Guy> bronze, i think this should help: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:06] <Drk_Guy> Pelo, LOL
[11:06] <neverblue> audio issues, can someone help, trying to get RealPlayer working
[11:06] <Drk_Guy> Bronze is having the same prob as the one you helped me out with
[11:06] <Pelo> blubloblu, not that I know of , but if you find the conf files related to those apps,  ndswrapper etc removing them will force them to create new ones which should be blank or at least default
[11:06] <neverblue> the audio is streaming in RealPlayer, but I hear nothing
[11:07] <blubloblu> Pelo: k thanks
[11:07] <collin> I can not change my screen resolution past 800x600
[11:07] <kr00lplatinum> Anyone know how to install kismet?
[11:07] <Drk_Guy> Pelo, ldconfig should force Ubuntu to refresh, avoiding the need of blubloblu to re-boot
[11:07] <neverblue> sudo aptitude install kismet ?
[11:07] <joshritger> can someone tell if there is a good software title for syncing two drives. I have tried unison and it didn't work to great
[11:07] <Drk_Guy> kr00l, you ran it from terminal?
[11:07] <Drk_Guy> neverblue, he already has it
[11:07] <Pelo> collin,  you need to edit the xorg.conf file to add the extra resolutions manual,    gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:07] <Drk_Guy> He doesn't know how to configure it
[11:08] <Pelo> blubloblu,  did you get that ?
[11:08] <Sch0rSch> hello together
[11:08] <neverblue> install/configure are two different things
[11:08] <Drk_Guy> Collin, i advice you to make a backup
[11:08] <bronze--> Drk_Guy: who helped you with this problem?
[11:08] <Drk_Guy> Pelo helped me out
[11:09] <sdouble> Pelo: good tip, I forgot all about that movie
[11:09] <blubloblu> Pelo, yeah, I'll try that soon. LiveCDing is the only way to use internet at the moment. I messed up my settings because I thought the driver was buggy, turns out I was in a spot of my house with patchy Wifi coverage! ;)

[11:18] <collin> where is the forum?

[11:23] <MrElendig> compengi: mplayer-svn + ffmpeg + w32 codecs
[11:23] <sebastian__> but its not stable
[11:23] <chuk> is there a way to just get it install with some generic video driver?
[11:23] <neverblue> what type of video card is it?
[11:23] <sebastian__> i mean, if i reboot, the conection loses
[11:23] <Sergo> o:-)
[11:23] <chuk> ati X1250
[11:23] <neverblue> all video cards have a generic driver
[11:23] <chuk> 609G chipset
[11:23] <MrElendig> chuk: alternat cd
[11:23] <neverblue> chuk use ati
[11:23] <sebastian__> i can only do a ping to the same pc
[11:23] <shurbann> hi ubuntu
[11:23] <neverblue> sebastian__, port scan it?
[11:23] <sebastian__> it has a static ip
[11:23] <shurbann> where can I found out if an known bug was solved?
[11:24] <neverblue> shurbann, google
[11:24] <chuk> never, how can I tell it to use ATI driver?
[11:24] <chuk> during the install
[11:24] <chuk> when booting from the live CD
[11:24] <Pricey> !bugs | shurbann
[11:24] <ubotu> shurbann: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/  -  Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots
[11:24] <Pricey> shurbann, launchpad is the ubuntu bug tracker, you'll find it there :)
[11:24] <neverblue> chuk, setup your xorg.conf to use the ati driver
[11:24] <sdouble> chuk: I overcame my issue by installing with the alternate cd rather than the livecd
[11:24] <shurbann> neverblue, uhmm that is a very general answer for everything I guess..
[11:24] <chuk> its this motherboard for what its worth:  http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?detailid=789&DetailName=Specification&MenuID=46&LanID=9
[11:25] <neverblue> you can use lspci to list the 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G] /GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
[11:25] <chuk> sdouble, then how did you install the driver after?
[11:25] <sdouble> shurbann: it depends on the program and the bug.  So google is the best answer you could have gotten without more details
[11:25] <neverblue> that will show up in the xorg.conf as located at 0:2:0
[11:25] <neverblue> shurbann, it will work for your situation
[11:25] <chuk> never, how can I setup the xorg.conf if I get get it installed?
[11:25] <sebastian__> neverblue: the port scan for port 80 says connection refused
[11:25] <chuk> can't get
[11:25] <banlieue> what's the moment nautilus chooses in video files for the image previewing? and more importantly, can I change the setting?
[11:25] <sebastian__> i scanned the local ip
[11:26] <neverblue> chuk, I thought you wanted to setup the xorg.conf BEFORE you install
[11:26] <akos>  /j #aaa
[11:26] <neverblue> so you can get your desktop up, with the Live CD
[11:26] <chuk> all I have is a blank hard drive and the install CD
[11:26] <chuk> and I can't get anywhere...
[11:26] <shurbann> Pricey, oh yeah I remember launchpad now. Thanks, cause I'm wondring if the int10 bug issue (nvidia driver) is resolved.
[11:26] <neverblue> chuk, your point?
[11:26] <sdouble> chuk: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide
[11:26] <chuk> I think I must be missing something
[11:26] <neverblue> chuk, insert CD, turn on system
[11:26] <Pricey> shurbann, binary nvidia?
[11:26] <sdouble> also, don't use the livecd.  Get the alternate cd
[11:27] <neverblue> there, thats your starting point
[11:27] <chuk> got it sdouble
[11:27] <chuk> right, when I do that, I get "no valid screens"
[11:27] <neverblue> chuk, live CD is fine
[11:27] <chuk> during the install
[11:27] <neverblue> chuk, thats why you edit your xorg.conf
[11:27] <sebastian__> i really dont know what could be grong.. i triple checked everything
[11:27] <plagerism> Who here is very familiar with the network-manager?  I would like to be able to configure a virtual interface with it.  How would I go about doing that?
[11:27] <sebastian__> the network just works sometimes
[11:27] <chuk> sorry for being thick, but where is "my" xorg.conf
[11:27] <chuk> if it hasn't been installed
[11:28] <sdouble> install with the alternate cd
[11:28] <shurbann> Pricey, uhm it wasn't clear if it was a nvidia driver bug or a kernel issue. Bt i couldnt use dual screen. It was filed on launchpad.
[11:28] <neverblue> sebastian__, your whole definition of 'network' is probably different everytime you say it
[11:28] <Pricey> chuk, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:28] <sdouble> take your livecd and break it in half
[11:28] <chuk> ha, will do
[11:28] <sebastian__> mmm
[11:28] <sebastian__> internet connection
[11:28] <neverblue> chuk, the Live CD, writes to RAM
[11:28] <Pricey> shurbann, well good luck... its closed source'edness doesn't bode well for its fixing :)
[11:28] <sebastian__> the eth0 interface seems to be ok
[11:28] <sebastian__> actually it works sometimes
[11:28] <shurbann> so I'm gonna take a look now if I can find it and see if it is solved
[11:28] <neverblue> your OS is located in your RAM, so you can do the install
[11:28] <chuk> it wouldn't let me save the file
[11:28] <chuk> is there a default root password?
[11:28] <neverblue> chuk, sudo?
[11:28] <sdouble> then download and burn the alternate cd.  install with that.  Then follow the instructions at that link to update your drivers
[11:29] <chuk> wasn't sure if that was gonna ask me for a password
[11:29] <chuk> when I sudo'd
[11:29] <neverblue> chuk, think you really need to do some reading
[11:29] <shurbann> Pricey, but the drivers didnt changed. In the version previous then 7.10 it worked like a charm.
[11:29] <Pricey> shurbann, there is no 7.10
[11:29] <sdouble> livecd boots up as "ubuntu" user and there is no root/password
[11:29] <shurbann> I mean 7.04
[11:29] <osxdude|laptop> at least not yet
[11:30] <Pricey> sdouble, there is root, if you use sudo
[11:30] <MTecknology> I'm using this /mnt/mantis/backups/DB_$(date "+%m_%d_%y").bak    in a script. Is there any way to use a variable in the directory name? like this   /mnt/mantis/backups/%1/DB_$(date "+%m_%d_%y").bak
[11:30] <r0b-> why is ubuntu 7.10 gonna be called gutsy
[11:30] <sebastian__> ok... i have the ubuntu 7.4 server version... my ethernet works fine sometimes... i dont know why... everything looks ok, but sometimes i can ping to say google.com and sometimes no... when its working and i reboot, it gets screwed
[11:30] <Pricey> r0b-, because sabdfl said so.
[11:30] <collin> I can not figure out how to change my monitor resolution
[11:30] <sdouble> Pricey: when booting the live cd, what's the password for sudo?
[11:30] <r0b-> :|
[11:30] <shurbann> Pricey, so if the drivers didnt change then the only reason it could break down if 7.04 introduced something that is not working with the drivers
[11:30] <Pricey> sdouble, there is none
[11:30] <MTecknology> gusty what?
[11:30] <Pricey> MTecknology, gutsy gibbon
[11:30] <blubloblu> r0b-, it's the codename for development like 7.04 was code-named Feisty-Fawn
[11:31] <Pricey> shurbann, I haven't a clue... sorry.
[11:31] <kkathman> r0b-: cuz gooey didnt sound good ?
[11:31] <MTecknology> what's a gibbon?
[11:31] <collin> would anyone be willing to log on to my remote desktop and take a look
[11:31] <Pricey> MTecknology, google image it ;)
[11:31] <blubloblu> MTecknology, a type of monkey
[11:31] <chuk> gibbon = ape
[11:31] <kkathman> gibbon - ape
[11:31] <shurbann> np... I'm just gonna take alook
[11:31] <blubloblu> collin, be careful!
[11:31] <chuk> gibbon - ape = ?
[11:31] <collin> I need help

[11:31] <nickrud> sebastian__, have you checked it's route when it fails? (just something I had issues with once)
[11:31] <sdouble> Pricey: that was my point.  He was asking about the root password and neverblue told him to use sudo so I combined the two in the answer.  "no root/password"
[11:31] <sdouble> Thank you though.
[11:32] <alexIdoia> hi I am writting in differente languages and I found the solution of going from one keybard layout to the other slowing me down, I only need a few chars so I was thinking putting them on functions keys, how can I do this
[11:32] <Pricey> sdouble, ah gotcha, sorry :)
[11:32] <kshahnjd> the server guide tells me to add lines to /etc/network/interfaces
[11:32] <Pricey> !away > voidmage-away
[11:32] <kshahnjd> what is the editor command?
[11:32] <sdouble> no problem, I just didn't want him to get confused.
[11:32] <kshahnjd> do i have to use something like vi?
[11:32] <nickrud> kshahnjd, nano is easiest
[11:32] <kkathman> after gutsy - are they skipping "H" cuz they already had hoary ??
[11:32] <chuk> oh, I'm confused all right...
[11:32] <kshahnjd> thamks
[11:32] <alexIdoia> so that when I push a function key it is like if I pushed a special key in another layout ?
[11:32] <Pricey> kshahnjd, you could use gedit, vi, nano, w/e
[11:32] <alexIdoia> I guess I would need to set a special keyboard layout ?

[11:33] <chuk> editing xorg.conf didn't do me any good
[11:33] <chuk> I still can't startx
[11:33] <kkathman> blah blah
[11:33] <BlackDesign> could anyone tell me how I can get the main menu transparent?
[11:34] <sdouble> chuk: there is more to it than just editting your xorg.conf file.  You have to edit it as well as install the drivers and enable them
[11:34] <chuk> right
[11:34] <captainm> BlackDesign: I don't think that's possible with gnome (at least not without additional software)
[11:34] <chuk> well, off to the alternate cd
[11:34] <r0b-> where do the ubuntu free CDs shit from?
[11:34] <blubloblu> BlackDesign, you'd probably need something like Beryl or Compiz
[11:34] <adfa> [00:32:11]  <adfa> Hi, i got replaced my nvidia card with asus, now x-server faild.
[11:34] <adfa> [00:32:20]  <adfa> what should i do ?
[11:34] <BlackDesign> I have beryl
[11:34] <blubloblu> r0b-, ship?
[11:34] <BlackDesign> but don't seem to find the option there
[11:34] <Caesar> Hey, how do you change the default locale in Ubuntu (Dapper)? It seems to be different to Debian (reconfiguring the locales package)
[11:35] <r0b-> the Ship It
[11:35] <Pricey> r0b-, uk I think
[11:35] <blubloblu> r0b-, i'm in ireland and I got mine from Switzerland
[11:35] <neverblue> audio issues, can someone help, trying to get RealPlayer working :: the audio is streaming in RealPlayer, but I hear nothing
[11:35] <r0b-> im from the USA
[11:35] <sdouble> adfa: asus is not a chipset.  Did you replace your nvidia card with another nvidia?
[11:35] <banlieue> what's the moment nautilus chooses in video files for the image previewing? and more importantly, can I change the setting?
[11:35] <PurpZeY_> Are RARs supported by archive manager?
[11:35] <BlackDesign> blubloblu, is it possible with Beryl?
[11:36] <LucianIndy> how would i go about installing ubuntu on my thumbdrive
[11:36] <adfa> i replaced my video card to ASUS
[11:36] <blubloblu> BlackDesign, i don't know, ask someone who knows more about it. I'd imagine it is
[11:36] <Madpilot> banlieue, it seems to be the mid-point of the file - but not always...
[11:36] <r0b-> and the nearest group to me is in ann arbor
[11:36] <sdouble> no, you replaced your existing card with an asus brand card.  but is it an nvidia chipset?
[11:36] <captainm> LucianIndy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[11:36] <banlieue> Madpilot: it doesn't seem to make utter sense
[11:36] <unix4me> does anyone know of a free isp?

[11:37] <BlackDesign> ok will do
[11:37] <neverblue> PurpZeY, sudo aptitude install unrar
[11:37] <BlackDesign> thx unix4me
[11:37] <adfa> i have to restart then:X (im throu xp now)
[11:37] <captainm> BlackDesign: in KDE it is definitly possible, not in gnome I think. But try #beryl or #ubuntu-effects
[11:37] <unix4me> does anyone know of a free isp?
[11:38] <unix4me> :S
[11:38] <PurpZeY> neverblue: That easier then setting up archive manager to do it?
[11:38] <unix4me> i know they have them in brazil....
[11:38] <peeps> is anyone using a svn gui that they would recommend?
[11:38] <BlackDesign> captainm, Thx, will try those
[11:38] <Pricey> unix4me, offtopic
[11:38] <Madpilot> PurpZeY, installing unrar should get the archive manager talking to rars
[11:38] <tarzeau> peeps: i would wipe out all SVN software if i could
[11:38] <collin> Can anyone help me with a screen resolution problem
[11:38] <adfa> brb then.
[11:38] <neverblue> PurpZeY, yes
[11:38] <unix4me> collin: i think  it's under system>admin>display or monitor or something like that
[11:38] <peeps> tarzeau, ? what's wrong with svn?
[11:39] <sayers> Does amd64 have the suspend feature?
[11:39] <Quiznos> hi
[11:39] <Quiznos> any Brits present for OT query?
[11:39] <neverblue> PurpZeY, I use the archive man. to extract, then unrar can piece it all back together
[11:39] <collin> I only have the one option of 800x600 I want it to be bigger

[11:42] <tarzeau> peeps: yes
[11:42] <Desolator> hi. can I upgrade to 6.10 with the desktop CD?
[11:42] <tarzeau> peeps: and i know a few other software developers without svn/cvs...
[11:42] <sdouble> svn is awesome for java.  But setting it up made me cry a little
[11:42] <tarzeau> peeps: so you think someone can't develop software without those version control systems?
[11:43] <peeps> tarzeau, they can, it's just not very smart, if they need to track revisions
[11:43] <make420> i want a spades game :)
[11:43] <Desolator> can i upgrade to edgy using a desktop cd?
[11:43] <make420> hehe
[11:43] <my_key> can someone tell me if it's an easy upgrade from dapper to feisty? or do i need to upgrade to edgy first?
[11:43] <tarzeau> peeps: one can track revisions perfectly fine without cvs/svn...
[11:43] <Desolator> yeah u need
[11:43] <tarzeau> peeps: and it has nothing to do with smart or not
[11:43] <kshahnjd> after I configure static ip in network/interfaces
[11:44] <kshahnjd> how do i restart?
[11:44] <tarzeau> peeps: or how they do is smart or not
[11:44] <kshahnjd> rather, turn off and on eth0
[11:44] <kshahnjd> to grab the new ip
[11:44] <crolle17> does somebody know which lib to install for running divX5-files?
[11:44] <sdouble> kshahnjd: I'm not sure, but would pump work for that as well?
[11:44] <kshahnjd> pump?
[11:44] <kshahnjd> i just need to refresh my ip, i don't know how
[11:45] <Desolator> can anyone tell me if I can upgrade from dapper to edgy using the desktop cd?
[11:45] <Emilius> Does anyone know of a way to reverse stereo channels?
[11:45] <collin> what should I set the horizontal sync rate as
[11:45] <Madsy> Desolator: Have you allready installed dapper?
[11:45] <Desolator> yes
[11:45] <make420> be one with the monitor specs
[11:46] <Madsy> Then you don't even need a CD.
[11:46] <make420> :)
[11:46] <sdouble> pump doesn't come packaged anyway
[11:46] <collin> anyone?
[11:46] <sdouble> 60hz
[11:46] <my_key> Desolator, you can insert the edgy cd in dapper and the update manager will prompt you to upgrade...
[11:47] <Desolator> well if I upgrade using the manager it says there's not enough space... there's 733 free and 1.5 GB on the win partition
[11:47] <zocky> i know this isn't the right place to report a bug, but it's a bug that's particularly annoying in xchat: tooltips should disappear when the user starts typing. otherwise e.g. taskbar tooltips cover the input line in xchat
[11:47] <Desolator> my_key: it'd be nice if it won't wait 3 years to load the kernel
[11:47] <Madpilot> zocky, launchpad.net is the right place for bug reports
[11:47] <make420> 60hz is vert ... horiz would be in the 15 to 60khz range ... all depends on the specs for that specific monitor
[11:47] <kshahnjd> how do i renew my IP at the command line?
[11:47] <Desolator> i'll try again though
[11:47] <Pricey> kshahnjd, sudo dhclient <interface>
[11:47] <adfa> bahh i can't remmber the nick for that one who tried help me, but the chip is NVIDIA and the card is ASUS
[11:47] <fsckr> what is ubuntus default font dir?
[11:48] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, sudo ifdown <interface> && sudo ifup <interface>
[11:48] <kshahnjd> says eth0 is not configured if I do that
[11:48] <Madpilot> fsckr, for user fonts, ~/.fonts
[11:48] <kshahnjd> i just edited /network/interfaces to make it a static ip
[11:49] <fsckr> ty Madpilot
[11:49] <kshahnjd> maybe i'm missing a step
[11:49] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, copy and paste the entire line

[11:51] <sebastian__> it takes some time
[11:51] <kshahnjd> i changed eth0 to statuc
[11:51] <kshahnjd> *static
[11:51] <chuk> then use this:
[11:51] <chuk> http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[11:51] <kbrooks> kshahnjd, ah.
[11:51] <make420> why not let the box take a dymanic address and then set it static at the router?

[11:51] <ubotu> chuk: 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!
[11:51] <trippndarift> Is there a way to control such things as the font size for the desktop icons?
[11:52] <kbrooks> Pricey, haha.
[11:52] <sdouble> hehe, there's also the automatix one
[11:52] <collin> I can not change my screen resolution higher than 800x600 anyone have any ideas
[11:52] <kbrooks> PreZ, "envy" "envious" funny
[11:52] <chuk> well, thats why he has the disclaimer
[11:52] <make420> trippndarift: control center >> look and feel >> font :)
[11:52] <gaston_> anyone was used reconstructor
[11:52] <chuk> but it has worked well for me, your mileage may vary of course

[11:58] <astro76> trippndarift, system->preferences->windows and change the title bar action
[11:58] <sebastian__> ok, here it is... i have a pc with ubuntu server 7.04 installed, the network interface eth0 is configured as static, i have all configured, gateway, dns, etc... BUT i cant ping outside that pc... actually SOMETIMES i can, like after some networking restarts it works... but then when i reboot it doesnt work
[11:58] <Yulquen> Im new at linux shell: I have made a script that propduced a desirable directory listing to a file.I need to make a new script, which makes a big script with this listing, changing the dir string and adds a few command lines for each original one.which shell commands should I check out for this? on the Amiga we had AREXX and list LFORMAT, what is the most powerful in Linux?
[11:58] <make420> trippndarift: yes check out art.gnome.org
[11:58] <banlieue> what's the moment nautilus chooses in video files for the image previewing? and more importantly, can I change the setting?
[11:58] <adfa> bah... its not possible run xchat without xserver right?:X
[11:59] <Brent_> I installed Ubuntu to an external USB hard drive. I then proceeded to restart the system. When Grub comes up, I select Ubuntu to run, but then it says that there is no such partition. When I try to select Windows, it says NTLDR is Missing
[11:59] <kshahnjd> kbrooks: thats all
[11:59] <kshahnjd> i did
[11:59] <kbrooks> adfa, yeah
[11:59] <Desolator> can anyone tell me how to get rid of xorg-driver-fglrx?
[11:59] <MajorPayne> adfa: irssi is a good client that you can use if you don't have the xserver running.
[11:59] <kbrooks> adfa, you can run irssi
[11:59] <adfa> anyway.. run the /etc/init.d/?dm restart -> didn't work the same error after startx
[11:59] <Desolator> can anyone tell me how to get rid of xorg-driver-fglrx?
[11:59] <adfa> the error is: no screens found
[12:00] <dsgsdg> Brent_: You need ntldr to run windows, don't delete it
[12:00] <make420> Desolator: yes open /etc/X11/xorg.conf with nano and add a # at the start of that line save and exit
[12:00] <Brent_> I didn't. When my external drive(where Ubuntu is installed) is not plugged in, Windows boots up as normal
[12:00] <Brent_> When the external is plugged in, it goes to Grub, but nothing works there
[12:01] <nivekc1> hello everyone i installed the latest version of wine yesterday in hopes to run a windows program but i cant figure out how to do it any help would be greatly appreciated
