[12:01] <imperfect-> Helps with HDTV playback using the nvidia chipset
[12:01] <bjames> PriceChild: there is no System | Administration | Restricted Driver Manager
[12:01] <Looie__> anyone?
[12:01] <AbuAnsar> ThanatosDrive, its too crowdy here. i m new to ubuntu as well
[12:01] <MikeRotch> i got a question about WINE and making links on my Desktop
[12:01] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: no matching precompiled kernel interface was found on NVIDIA ftp site that means the installer will need to compile a kernel for the install
[12:01] <AbuAnsar> are you an admin here?
[12:01] <PriceChild> imperfect-, is that only with the newer drivers or something?
[12:02] <PriceChild> !offtopic | AbuAnsar
[12:02] <ubotu> AbuAnsar: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:02] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: so i select... yes (being it the only option)
[12:02] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton: okay. sounds good. what does it do then?
[12:02] <MikeRotch> i am running a program that all I have to do is click the EXE... there is installation to WINE... but I need to make a shortcut that will WORK to open that file WITH WINE
[12:02] <ThanatosDrive> AbuAnsar: No I'm not. And it's not too crowdy, this is how it usually is.
[12:02] <PriceChild> bjames, /msg ubotu nvidia
[12:02] <MikeRotch> is that makes sense
[12:02] <mikebot> Is there a way in Feisty to sort a folder like the way WIndows has 'list' (as opposed to the ubuntu 'list' which is more like the Windows 'details')?
[12:02] <imperfect-> PriceChild : Nod.
[12:02] <bjames> PriceChild: I'm going to try synaptic instead
[12:02] <rafaelscj> kahrytan, Vista is very bad
[12:02] <sirdiego> is there anyone who can help me with fnfs and sonyacpi?
[12:02] <PriceChild> imperfect-, right. ok...
[12:02] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton: you need the kernel sources, don't you?
[12:02] <kahrytan> rafaelscj: hence I why I swore it off
[12:02] <the_elite_freak> pricechild - back and http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31472/ is my sources.list ya wanted
[12:02] <wolfe> phew
[12:02] <Gizmo_the_Great> JosefK, thanks - the JAVA upgrade to version 6 worked a treat.
[12:02] <AbuAnsar> Thantos, thanks. good luck to you too !:)
[12:02] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: unable to find kernel source tree for the curently running kernel please make sure you have installed the kernel source files and that the are properly configured
[12:03] <JosefK> Gizmo_the_Great, np's :) Have fun
[12:03] <wolfe> turned off the crappy Assistive Technology Support
[12:03] <wolfe> its a complete waste of time, process
[12:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: okay, that's the error message i needed
[12:03] <PriceChild> imperfect-, sudo nano -w /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[12:03] <imperfect-> PriceChild : Already did that.
[12:03] <PriceChild> imperfect-, and make the bottom line: DISABLED_MODULES="nv"
[12:03] <imperfect-> PriceChild : Didn't work
[12:03] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: alrighty... so im guessing hit ok... reboot then open synaptic?
[12:03] <PriceChild> imperfect-, do you still have nvidia-glx* installed?
[12:03] <imperfect-> PriceChild : I never installed it.
[12:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: enter the following: "apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r`
[12:03] <superjedi> how do I use faking it in amsn
[12:03] <imperfect-> PriceChild : and no it's not installed.
[12:04] <MikeRotch> i am running a program that all I have to do is click the EXE... there is installation to WINE... but I need to make a shortcut on my desktop that will WORK to open that file WITH WINE.. right now it seems like i click the shortcut and it's trying to open the shortcut not the destination EXE... please help =)
[12:04] <AbuAnsar> PrinceChild I have some problems with /dev/rfcomm0
[12:04] <AbuAnsar> PRinceChild, can u help me?
[12:04] <rafaelscj> kahrytan, good screen
[12:04] <PriceChild> imperfect-, well it must be installed if its being used ;)
[12:04] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: whereby "uname -r" is enclosed in backquotes
[12:04] <PriceChild> AbuAnsar, firstly I have only one 'n' in my name
[12:04] <kahrytan> rafaelscj: Which one? old one?
[12:04] <PriceChild> AbuAnsar, secondly, address your question to the channel and someone will assist if they know the answer
[12:04] <rafaelscj> The second
[12:04] <AbuAnsar> PrinceChild does it matter?! :angry:
[12:04] <AbuAnsar> :)
[12:04] <imperfect-> PriceChild : It's using nvidia_new or something
[12:04] <imperfect-> PriceChild: It's not installed.
[12:04] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: couldnt find package for linux-source-uname -r
[12:04] <kahrytan> rafaelscj: That's my OSX-ish desktop.
[12:05] <PriceChild> !automatix | the_elite_freak
[12:05] <ubotu> the_elite_freak: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[12:05] <AbuAnsar> arighty will do it now
[12:05] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: enclose "uname -r" in backquotes and try agin
[12:05] <mikebot> Is there a way in Feisty to sort a folder like the way WIndows has 'list' (as opposed to the ubuntu 'list' which is more like the Windows 'details')?
[12:05] <the_elite_freak> pricechild - thanks for the info... wish I'd known that b4 hand..heh heh
[12:05] <PriceChild> imperfect-, nvidia-glx-new.... I am unsure... especially seen as this is nvidia's software and not packaged by us.
[12:06] <imperfect-> PriceChild : It's _not_ installed.
[12:06] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: i would love to but i have no clue where the backqoutes are
[12:06] <PriceChild> Quinton__, linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[12:06] <MikeRotch> mikebot
[12:06] <MikeRotch> in every folder to the right near the top
[12:06] <howlingmadhowie> imperfect: if it's using nvidia_new, add this module to the /etc/default/linux...modules file at the end
[12:06] <MikeRotch> is a menu to sview as icons or view as list
[12:06] <AbuAnsar> $ sudo rfcomm bind 00:0F:86:F6:31:92 channel 1
[12:07] <romeu> oi
[12:07] <AbuAnsar> gives me this:
[12:07] <AbuAnsar> rfcomm0: 0C:00:00:00:00:00 channel 1 clean
[12:07] <iNcrease> mikebot, goto directory eg /home/name, --> edit, preference ... there u maybe find sonthing for more details
[12:07] <MikeRotch> mikebot if you need more options in the view as list
[12:07] <spheard> hi, Im trying to run restricted mnager on 6.10. Is it available? apt isnt finding it. >><< glxinfo |grep direct returns>> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[12:07] <imperfect-> If I delete .ko's from the volatile directory
[12:07] <MikeRotch> go to Edit>Preferences then the view tab
[12:07] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton: to the left next to the spacebar, or do what PriceChild wrote :)
[12:07] <imperfect-> do they come back on reboot?
[12:07] <AbuAnsar> I m tryin to access the internt thru my Blackberry bluetooth modem
[12:07] <mikebot> MikeRotch: But I don't want the details... like I want it to look the way windows sorts as a list
[12:07] <MikeRotch> sorry List Columns tab mikebot
[12:07] <MikeRotch> mike exactly
[12:07] <mikebot> MikeRotch: ie, multiple columns of items so my folder will only scroll to the right
[12:07] <MikeRotch> read the rest of what i said
[12:07] <ThanatosDrive> How do I enable openGL in Counter-Strike when running through WINE?
[12:08] <PriceChild> imperfect-, do you use any restricted drivers from linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) ? as you could remove that, reinstall your nvidia drivers and hope for the best
[12:08] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token '(' ?
[12:08] <imperfect-> I dujnno
[12:08] <imperfect-> lemme look
[12:08] <jr_> hey

[12:08] <MikeRotch> let me check if i can get that o wrok
[12:08] <AbuAnsar> mikebot yes

[12:09] <AbuAnsar> hgold on a asec pls
[12:09] <jr_> i need help installing Java runtime environmet, in the instructions it says i need to use the terminal and type Su and then type in a password
[12:09] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: OK, thanks.
[12:09] <jr_> i type my password
[12:09] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: try typing it again. it will work if you type it correctly: apt-get install linux-source-$(uname -r)
[12:09] <PriceChild> !java | jr_
[12:09] <imperfect-> PriceChild: it removesall the linux kernel if I do that
[12:09] <jr_> and it says unautherized
[12:09] <spheard> glxinfo |grep direct returns>> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". I want to play some games dammit!!! can anyone help? Im running 6.10.
[12:09] <ubotu> jr_: 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
[12:09] <fatbrain> Where can I find those Microsoft fonts?
[12:09] <PriceChild> jr_, follow those instructions from ubotu :)
[12:09] <MikeRotch> mikebot i don't see it BUT if you view as icons
[12:09] <Veenified> jr_: try sudo
[12:09] <DavidCraft> hey I have a computer with a 40 gig hard drive running ubuntu 6.whatever.  How hard would it be to transfer everything (including all my current settings, user accounts, and everything) to another (160 gig) hard drive?
[12:09] <PriceChild> imperfect-, it really won't... pastebin the packages its removing.
[12:09] <raf256> anyone knows how to reinstall apache2?
[12:09] <Jack_Sparrow> fatbrain: msttcorefonts
[12:09] <MikeRotch> then right click and go to Arage>COMPACT LAYOUT
[12:09] <MikeRotch> that aybe be something that you like
[12:09] <MikeRotch> maybe*
[12:10] <raf256> or: why crappy ubuntu can't do such a trivial task like reinstall apache
[12:10] <jr_> hm how do i use sudo?
[12:10] <imperfect-> PriceChild : Linux-generic is the first
[12:10] <mikebot> MikeRotch: Thanks.
[12:10] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: error could not find package
[12:10] <PriceChild> imperfect-, that's not the kernel
[12:10] <imperfect-> image is still there
[12:10] <imperfect-> Good
[12:10] <Veenified> jr_: use it instead of su
[12:10] <PriceChild> imperfect-, that's a metapackage
[12:10] <imperfect-> ok
[12:10] <raf256> jr_: sudo some_command
[12:10] <wick2o> anyone try and get hylafax to work on ubuntu 7.04?
[12:10] <PriceChild> imperfect-, linux-image?
[12:10] <spheard> jr_ $>sudo apt-get install XXXXXXXXX
[12:10] <PriceChild> imperfect-, or linux-image-$foo-generic ?
[12:10] <wick2o> it keeps sending 0 byte attachements yet hte files on the server are fine
[12:10] <thinh> beryl or compiz with nvidia and fiesty?
[12:10] <fatbrain> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[12:10] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: couldnt find linux source 2.6.20-16-386
[12:10] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[12:10] <imperfect-> PriceChild: nope the images are there.. we're good I think
[12:11] <AbuAnsar> mikebot
[12:11] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: strange.
[12:11] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Yes,
[12:11] <imperfect-> I'm gonna try a reboot
[12:11] <MikeRotch> welcome that's as good as t gets i guess mikebot
[12:11] <MikeRotch> haha
[12:11] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: I didnt install that version I installed a newer one
[12:11] <AbuAnsar> do this :
[12:11] <AbuAnsar> sudo apt-get isntall touchpad
[12:11] <ThanatosDrive> Bah. How do I install Windows XP on dual boot?
[12:11] <thinh> where can i change f8 key bindings anyone?
[12:11] <AbuAnsar> hmm
[12:11] <PriceChild> !windows | ThanatosDrive
[12:11] <ubotu> ThanatosDrive: For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[12:11] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: it was like 2.6.21 isntead of 2.6.20
[12:11] <AbuAnsar> no
[12:11] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: E: Couldn't find package touchpad
[12:11] <ThanatosDrive> PriceChild: For a gamer, Ubuntu is near useless.
[12:12] <howlingmadhowie> quinton. no, that's the newest version. 2.6.21 isn't a part of feisty
[12:12] <Veenified> Anyone know how to save screen resolution with a nvidia graphics card, so that the right resolution is shown when you reboot?
[12:12] <AbuAnsar> mikebot
[12:12] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: so now what?
[12:12] <AbuAnsar> mikebot try this: System > Administrator > Synaptics
[12:12] <sorin7486> wtf ?
[12:12] <DavidCraft> hey I have a computer with a 40 gig hard drive running ubuntu 6.whatever.  How hard would it be to transfer everything (including all my current settings, user accounts, and everything) to another (160 gig) hard drive?
[12:12] <AbuAnsar> mikebot Synaptics Manager
[12:13] <sorin7486> I have a question...
[12:13] <sorin7486> :)
[12:13] <sorin7486> go figure
[12:13] <PriceChild> DavidCraft, a monkey could do it probably...
[12:13] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: reboot and see if the package was installed in synaptic?
[12:13] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton: let's see if we can get the kernel-source installed using synaptic. enter the following: "/etc/init.d/gdm start"
[12:13] <wick2o> DavidCraft: norton ghost
[12:13] <sorin7486> how do I foind out what application is listening on one port
[12:13] <sorin7486> ??????
[12:13] <PriceChild> !clone | DavidCraft
[12:13] <ubotu> DavidCraft: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[12:13] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: OK, I searched for `touchpad', but didn't get anything with that name
[12:13] <sorin7486> nmap says http-proxy
[12:13] <rambo3> DavidCraft, cp / . and change grub menu and sudo permission on new drive
[12:13] <sorin7486> but it's not squid
[12:13] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: and im signing in
[12:13] <PriceChild> DavidCraft, follow that from ubotu, and then copy your /home/username and that'll copy your specific settings
[12:13] <sorin7486> any idea ?
[12:13] <raf256> is ubuntu pacet manager at all usable nowdays?
[12:13] <Jack_Sparrow> DavidCraft: It is easy until you start adding / changing partitions etc
[12:13] <sorin7486> (btw kopete is terible with irc
[12:13] <sorin7486> )
[12:13] <MikeRotch> if you get that mikebot IM me and let me know how it worked... thanks =)
[12:13] <imperfect-> PriceChild: That did it. ;)
[12:13] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: hang on, i've found the problem. the package is called "linux-kernel-2.6.20"
[12:13] <AbuAnsar> mikebot, can u see gsypanptics?
[12:14] <imperfect-> PriceChild: woot ;)
[12:14] <raf256> because noone knows apparently how to reinstall apache with it, is that possible
[12:14] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Yes.
[12:14] <Veenified> Anyone fluent with Nvidia and screen resolution?
[12:14] <DavidCraft> so just keep the partitions the same or what?
[12:14] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: i mean "linux-source-2.6.20" :)
[12:14] <PriceChild> imperfect-, I hope you haven't got any random wireless cards needing restricted drivers... but as you're still here you seem fine :)
[12:14] <AbuAnsar> mikebot install that one
[12:14] <Veenified> Anyone know how to save screen resolution with a nvidia graphics card, so that the right resolution is shown when you reboot?
[12:14] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: you may as well install it using synaptic, now that you've started gdm again
[12:14] <Ltar> problem with thunderbird mail: I have it synced with my gmail account, but it seems not to be downloading some messages. I was unaware of this untill I realised I had missed several extremely important emails. has anyone else noticed thunderbird neglecting to download some emails? If this cannot be resolved, I'll stop using thunderbird.
[12:15] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Done.
[12:15] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: I just installed it in synaptic... now what?
[12:15] <Jack_Sparrow> DavidCraft: You can change them, it is easier if you dont add any below your install, add one after it np
[12:15] <AbuAnsar> mikebot, also, scroll to the end . what do u see?
[12:15] <Veenified> Ltar: did you make sure to change your pop settings in gmail?
[12:15] <howlingmadhowie> Veenified: i had this problem once. there's a line in the gnome.conf in your home directory which overrules the resolution in xorg.conf. try searching ubuntuforums.org for that issue. i wrote a posting there about it
[12:15] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Org server
[12:15] <DavidCraft> but If I just copy EVERYTHING over shouldnt it work?
[12:15] <Veenified> howlingmadhowie: thank you
[12:15] <AbuAnsar> yes. is it already installed on ur system?
[12:15] <Ltar> Veenified: yeah, there was a setting in gmail to make it forward
[12:16] <P_Kable_> any shortcut to change the keyboard layout on gnome ?
[12:16] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Yes
[12:16] <AbuAnsar> ok
[12:16] <Ltar> Veenified: but it seems like it's forwarding messages randomly
[12:16] <jr_> when i followed the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java it says that sudo apt-get doesnt find the dependency tree
[12:16] <AbuAnsar> mikebot lets check now.
[12:16] <jr_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#head-7852ba79216c811b4345924d824bf15489ce7164
[12:16] <Ltar> Veenified: i'll double-check to be sure
[12:16] <AbuAnsar> mikebot: System > Preferences > Touchpad
[12:16] <jr_> it gives me this error:E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-jre
[12:16] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: now we have to go back to ctrl+alt+f2, "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" and "sh NVIDIA*" and see if it can compile its own kernel interface
[12:16] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
[12:16] <mikebot> You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics
[12:17] <AbuAnsar> what u mean?
[12:17] <mikebot> It says that when I open Touchpad in PRefs.
[12:17] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: stopped
[12:17] <AbuAnsar> mikebot: hold on a sec
[12:17] <Ltar> Veenified: oh shit. I changed the setting from "pop downloading is enabled" to "enable POP for ALL mail"
[12:17] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: by the way, when you're on the shell, you can use the arrow key to go up to a command you already entered once
[12:17] <jr_> when i followed the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java it says "E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-jre
[12:17] <jr_> "
[12:17] <jr_> any help?
[12:17] <Veenified> Ltar: don't forward, try pop download instead
[12:18] <Kawika> jr_: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[12:18] <jr_> erm 5.10? it says on the distro
[12:18] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: soooo sh NVIDIA* ?
[12:18] <Ltar> Veenified: yeah, that's the setting I just activated. Now it seems to be downloading all of my mail, like it should. thanks!
[12:18] <Veenified> Ltar: and then try these directions on how to setup thunderbird: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=38343
[12:18] <AbuAnsar> ok restart the X and it should work
[12:18] <AbuAnsar> mikebot: ok restart the X and it should work
[12:18] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: How do I do that?
[12:18] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: once you've stopped gdm, yes
[12:18] <Veenified> Ltar: no problem
[12:18] <jr_> if i remember breezy badger
[12:18] <mikebot> There is also something in Update Manager: `qsynaptics'
[12:18] <solo> hi gyus
[12:18] <AbuAnsar> mikebot Ctrl + Alt + Backspace
[12:19] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: it did the same thing
[12:19] <jr_> yeah ubuntu version 5.10
[12:19] <Kawika> jr_: ok, let me look.. hang on.
[12:19] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: if you wish, you can enter "sh NVI" and then hit the <tab> key before pressing enter
[12:19] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: OK, did that
[12:19] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton: okay, it still isn't finding the kernel sources
[12:19] <jr_> kawika: k thanks :) been awhile since iv ran ubuntu
[12:19] <AbuAnsar> mikebot very fast good :)
[12:19] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: But I still get the error

[12:20] <AbuAnsar> mikebot : what is the error?
[12:20] <brianherman> i got a problem i cant setup xfree on ubuntu-server
[12:20] <Kawika> jr_: try this link instead: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~djm/ubuntu/index_breezy.htm#sun-java
[12:20] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
[12:20] <mikebot> You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics
[12:21] <jr_> kawika: k thanks i will
[12:21] <Kawika> jr_: I've noticed that there are little quarks specific to each release.
[12:21] <brianherman> no
[12:21] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: nope
[12:21] <jr_> kawika: yes thats why i hate ubuntu :P
[12:21] <AbuAnsar> ok lets check
[12:21] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: cannot open: no such file or directory
[12:21] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: can you tell me what "ls" returns?
[12:21] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: and also "pwd"
[12:21] <Kawika> jr_: haha.  You should try Feisty.  I really like it.  Lots of improvements (at least from my limited perspective).
[12:22] <quest> hello all
[12:22] <solo> Oh thanks mate
[12:22] <Veenified> jr_: ya, i like feisty fawn
[12:22] <jr_> kawika: can i download it from the net?
[12:22] <raf256> why Ubuntu is so expensive? 70 euro
[12:22] <solo> forgot to look at there
[12:22] <rockets> What's the best way to custom compile 2.6.22 into Feisty?
[12:22] <rockets> Can I use the gutsy packages or the gutsy src packages?
[12:22] <ThanatosDrive> howlingmadhowie: Well you could always try the commands yourself, but 'ls' gives a directory listing.
[12:22] <quest> anyone use beryl on fiesty fawn?
[12:22] <howlingmadhowie> rockets: download the source and then role your own :)
[12:22] <Optimus55> quest: yep
[12:22] <solo> yes i do
[12:23] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: ls says linux headers 2.6.20-16 and the same but generic and linux-source-2.6.20.tar.bz2 is in red pwd shows root@ubuntu:/usr/src#
[12:23] <solo> a great thing

[12:24] <AbuAnsar> mikebot:  lets do it manually
[12:24] <solo> knew it
[12:24] <jr_> i just installed ubuntu on this :)
[12:24] <ThanatosDrive> brianherman: I'll take it.
[12:24] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: OK
[12:24] <AbuAnsar> mikebot: sudo apt-get install gsynaptics
[12:24] <raf256> so, does it have to be so expensive? O_o
[12:24] <Ronald> brianherman: you can install ubuntu on my athlon

[12:25] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: now the computer will sit there for a minute working
[12:25] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: howlingmadhowie: took some time and shows root@ubuntu:/usr/src#
[12:25] <solo> loll
[12:25] <rockets> howlingmadhowie, yeah. i just dont plan to use it on my main desktop/laptop cuz i dont want to be responsible for it :-D
[12:25] <brianherman> i dont get what u mean
[12:25] <brianherman> you want me to send you money solo?
[12:25] <solo> lol
[12:25] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay, and now tar -xvf linux-source*
[12:25] <jr_> kawika: is there a big difference between breezy and feisty?
[12:25] <solo> it was a joke !
[12:25] <solo> french joke !
[12:25] <jr_> kawika: and if so, what are the good?
[12:25] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: and lots of stuff should go whizzing past
[12:25] <brianherman> i dont send money to han solos
[12:26] <solo> lol
[12:26] <brianherman> they shoot you through tables

[12:26] <Jack_Sparrow> jr_: YEs, huge diff
[12:26] <solo> ia m on tattouine
[12:26] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: yeahhh alot
[12:26] <AbuAnsar> mikebot : sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:26] <solo> cost a lot to come back to earth
[12:26] <jr_> jack_sparrow: such as?
[12:26] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: done
[12:26] <Kawika> jr_: I only installed breezy very briefly, and had a fun time getting Java installed.  Moved to Feisty, and easy as cake.
[12:26] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: good. that's a good sign. you just unpacked your first bz2 archive :)
[12:26] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: woooo!!!!
[12:26] <Kawika> jr_: I'm not real clued in on what exactly the differences are.
[12:26] <Jack_Sparrow> jr_: That belongs in the discussion room not the support room
[12:26] <jr_> kawika: ahh :)
[12:26] <brianherman> well you've got a bounty on your head and jabba the hut is paying in Imperial Credits
[12:26] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: can you post the results of "ls" now?

[12:26] <jr_> jack_sparrows: ok sorry :)
[12:26] <solo> lol
[12:26] <solo> i know
[12:26] <jr_> jack_sparrow: ok sorry :)
[12:27] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[12:27] <JanWinnicki> earlier someone mentioned nmap for finding ip addresses of local network computers. but... how do i use it to find those ipeez? ;] 
[12:27] <howlingmadhowie> jthunder: check on the nvidia website
[12:27] <solo> he s looking for my asses
[12:27] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: now theres one without tar.... in blue says linux-source-2.6.20
[12:27] <|thunder> Jack_Sparrow; do you play urban terror ?
[12:27] <slabby> How do I allow an account to have read+write access to /var/www  ??
[12:27] <jr_> kawika: :) thnx ill prolly try it out, how longs it take to install about? and does it automatically configure wifi cards? ones built into your laptop?
[12:27] <rockets> slabby, add that acocunt to the group associated with /var/www
[12:27] <Nick_Hill> JanWinnicki, There is a front end to Nmap. Also builds command syntax. Called nmapfe
[12:27] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: good: "ln -s linux-source-2.6.20 /usr/src/linux"
[12:27] <aleksium> hey guys/girls: text install of latest Ubuntu; problem: my widescreen 22" displays alternating blue/black lines
[12:28] <AbuAnsar> t
[12:28] <rockets> Wow, Ubuntu installs faster for me in VMware then on my bare metal PC.
[12:28] <JanWinnicki> Nick_Hill: i will check it out, thanks :)
[12:28] <JFr3ak> hi everybody
[12:28] <FLeiXiuS> How would I go about burning a MPEG video in DVD format?
[12:28] <octocore> hello
[12:28] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Sorry, one second.
[12:28] <Kawika> jr_: I run it purely on a desktop system.  I've noticed people having issues getting various wifi cards to work.  I've not had time to experiement with them.
[12:28] <howlingmadhowie> rockets: if you're not using the cddrive but booting from a cd image on the harddrive it may well be faster :)
[12:28] <Nick_Hill> rockets, Must be limited by I/O latency. Virtualised take advantage of VM and caching
[12:28] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: and once more "ls" please
[12:28] <magnetron> FLeiXiuS: install the application DeVeDe
[12:28] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: OK, it's open.
[12:28] <jr_> kawika: hmm ok well thanks much again, i will most likely update in the future :)
[12:28] <JFr3ak> please, can somebody help me how setting services in Feisty please... i want see if a service is running or enable to run...
[12:29] <slabby> rockets, isnt that group root?
[12:29] <rockets> howlingmadhowie, yup im using an ISO on my hd, and the vmware image itself is running off of a secondary drive so it doesnt have to deal with my OS I/O
[12:29] <Kawika> jr_: sounds good.  enjoy...
[12:29] <rockets> slabby, could be
[12:29] <jr_> kawika: thanks i will :)
[12:29] <rockets> slabby, go to var, do ls -l|grep www
[12:29] <FLeiXiuS> magnetron, dvd would take forever to encode... I used to use winavi on windows, encoded in 45 mins ;-P
[12:29] <rockets> slabby, that will tell you the owner and group
[12:29] <FLeiXiuS> devede*
[12:29] <Veenified> howlingmadhowie: i'm having trouble finding anything, what are some keywords i should try using to search?
[12:29] <AbuAnsar> mikebot: scroll to:  Section "InputDevice"
[12:30] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: says the same thing as before header and header generic linux source and linux source tar
[12:30] <Veenified> howlingmadhowie: I'm talking about the nvidia screen resolution by the way
[12:30] <Kawika> JFr3ak: Did you try System->Administration->Services ?
[12:30] <octocore> woo i finally got my internet running after like a week of trying!
[12:30] <AbuAnsar> mikebot: can you see "Synaptics Touchpad" listed under  "Input Device" ?
[12:30] <slabby> rockerts, drwxr -xr -x 3 root 4096 2007-07-24 22:57 www
[12:30] <JFr3ak> Kawika, yes, but there is just a few, i think there isn't all ...
[12:30] <slabby> rockerts, drwxr -xr -x 3 root root 4096 2007-07-24 22:57 www
[12:31] <slabby> rockerts, has 2 roots not 1
[12:31] <Nick_Hill> Veenified, Erh. Nvidious. Got an Nvidia based mobo the other day. Filed bundles of bugs.
[12:31] <Kawika> jFr3ak: what about System Monitor? (in the same menu)
[12:31] <JFr3ak> Kawika, i want to see the file that have the services and if is necessary edit to enabled o disabled...
[12:31] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: OK
[12:31] <JFr3ak> Kawika, let me see...
[12:31] <slabby> rockerts, I cant add my ftp account to the root group can I? surely that wouldnt be safe
[12:31] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: This is all to make folders scroll to the right, right?
[12:31] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: is that good?
[12:31] <slabby> rockets, drwxr -xr -x 3 root root 4096 2007-07-24 22:57 www
[12:31] <AbuAnsar> yes
[12:31] <AbuAnsar> to the right and to the left
[12:31] <octocore> i just manually installed the drivers for my ethernet card to work, could anyone help me get my video card and sound working too?
[12:32] <slabby> rockets, I cant add my ftp account to the root group can I? surely that wouldnt be safe
[12:32] <rockets> slabby, heh. idk
[12:32] <Nick_Hill> Nvidia based motherboards are great to exercise your bug writing ability.
[12:32] <slabby> How do I allow an account to have read+write access to /var/www  ??
[12:32] <Veenified> Nick_Hill: i think its the one chipset that works best with linux though, not too many complaints...yet
[12:32] <DavidCraft> are there drivers dependent on the hard drive ubuntu boots from somewhere?
[12:32] <Nick_Hill> Veenified, Which one?
[12:33] <JFr3ak> Kawika, it isn't early, is something like init.d (i think so...)
[12:33] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Yes.
[12:34] <johnny5> i finally have my resolution changed to the native for my monitor, but now app bar at the top of my screen is off the screen, i have to scroll up to make it visible? anyone know how to fix this?
[12:34] <howlingmadhowie> quinton_: there isn't an entry which just says "linux" ?
[12:34] <howlingmadhowie> Veenified: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400035
[12:34] <Kawika> Veenified: Intel branded boards, while not the most cutting edge, seem to really install with limited problems.
[12:34] <Veenified> Nick_Hill: I have a nForce 590 SLI mobo and a e-Geoforce 7600 GT graphics card, the graphics card is sweet
[12:35] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: yes there is
[12:35] <rockets> I have a f*****g ATI card. God damn ATI.
[12:35] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton_: cool :) okay: "cd" just by itself. and then "sh NVIDIA*"
[12:35] <Nick_Hill> Veenified, With 6100 chipset, I filed OHCI_HCD blocks suspend to ram. Video hardware won't re-init after STR - Nvidia keep initialisation process secret. Real time clock won't read/write and Northbridge sucks power/gets really hot.
[12:35] <Veenified> Kawika: Yea, I went AMD 64-bit
[12:36] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: cannot open
[12:36] <slabby> How do I give an account read+write access to /var/www  ??
[12:36] <howlingmadhowie> quinton: what does "pwd" say?
[12:36] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Do I edit something here?
[12:36] <AbuAnsar> yes
[12:36] <Nick_Hill> Veenified, With NV NF590, can you suspend to ram, and recover, with free drivers?
[12:36] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: /usr/src#
[12:37] <AbuAnsar> add "SHMConfig"
[12:37] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__:  okay. enter "cd" just by itself and then give me "pwd" again
[12:37] <Veenified> Nick_Hill: I don't know much but I had a guy at Fry's help me build my computer, he was pretty knowledgeable
[12:37] <mikebot> AbuAnsar: Option        "SHMConfig"?
[12:37] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: /root... now try NVIDIA ?
[12:37] <Veenified> Nick_Hill: I havent tried
[12:37] <AbuAnsar> yes
[12:37] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: exactly :)
[12:37] <brianherman> enter "sudo rm -rf /"
[12:37] <mikebot> What value?

[12:39] <craigbass1976> Ok folks, on dapper dial up was working fine.  Now it's sporadic since upgrading to feisty.  Any ideas?  Keeps going back to pulse dialing and I want tone.  When it does dial up and not work, it just barely starts to screech the authentication string, then quits.  Other times it works.  If I reboot, it dials up on its own and is fine.  Restarting the network is also sporadic

[12:41] <octocore> i need help installing the drivers for my integrated intel gma3100 vidcard
[12:41] <mrpoundsign> haha, doh, I removed myself from my groups using usermod. I thought -G would add me to a given group, not re-write all my groups. So now I cannot sudo to root. Can I boot to the live CD and fix myself? What group(s) do I need to add myself to? Can I create a new admin user, remove then re-add myself as an admin user, or do I need to restore all my groups manually?
[12:41] <slabby> nick_hill, thanks
[12:41] <kohak> hello,
[12:41] <Nick_Hill> slabby, scratch that. chown www-data:www-data /var/www ...
[12:42] <professorchaos> So...just switched from XP to 7.04 and sound=no. Looked at relevant docs (DebuggingSoundProblems) and none of the suggestions helped.
[12:42] <Nick_Hill> slabby, then add the user to group www-data  .. as one way to do it.
[12:42] <Nick_Hill> slabby, there is no group www.
[12:42] <Kawika> aleksium: what kind of video card?
[12:43] <solo> bye all
[12:43] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: can you paste the result of "ln -lh /usr/src" in pastebin?
[12:43] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: sorry: i misstyped
[12:43] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: can you paste the result of "ls -l /usr/src" in pastebin?
[12:43] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: its ok...
[12:43] <astro76> mrpoundsign, boot with livecd, edit /etc/group, and add yourself to the admin group
[12:44] <aleksium> Kawika: something Built-in into the motherboard, rescued the box from school, so actually dont know those details
[12:44] <slabby> nick_hill, explain that 2nd way please... the account name is webftp
[12:44] <Kawika> aleksium: Is it a brand name system, or a clone build?
[12:44] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: how would i go about pasting this to you?
[12:44] <askand> Hi..I have a bashscript.. one of the variables is url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=P85LoHftEKs   Is there a way to cut the variable after "=" and get a new variable called  "P85LoHftEKs"?
[12:44] <mrpoundsign> astro76: thanks. :)
[12:44] <octocore> could anyone walk me through installing drivers for my video card?
[12:45] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: or even copying it?
[12:45] <ghostx> hey just installing gentoo, do i unpack the stage tarball to /mnt/gentoo ?
[12:45] <ThanatosDrive> Can anyone tell me why Counter-Strike always starts up in 800x640 and I always have to change it back to a higher resolution which results in CS getting frozen?
[12:45] <preaction> ghostx, this is #ubuntu, not #gentoo
[12:45] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: hang on. i've just done the same thing on my computer, and i realise than my light blue "linux" is pointing to dark blue "/usr/src/linux-headers..." and not to "/usr/src/linux-source..."

[12:46] <octocore> kawika: integrated intel gma3100
[12:46] <Kawika> aleksium: another way would be to pop off the cover and just look at the model of the motherboard.  Specs are easy enough to find after that.
[12:46] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: but im not on a graphical screen on my laptop....
[12:46] <ThanatosDrive> Are you kidding me! I got an error from Microsfot Visual C++ Runtime Library
[12:46] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: try the following "cd /usr/src" "rm linux" "ln -s linux-headers* /usr/src/linux"
[12:47] <apocalypti> i just got a drive that can use lightscribe. does anyone know a program that will write with lightscribe?
[12:47] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: oh, of course. you haven't yet activated the colours for the background consoles. don't worry about it. just try my commands i just gave you :)
[12:47] <ThanatosDrive> How do I kill a wine created application?
[12:48] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: didnt do anything
[12:48] <jmg> killall wine
[12:48] <jmg> xkill
[12:48] <vox754> howlingmadhowie, what are you trying to do? remove the linux headers
[12:48] <Nick_Hill> slabby, chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www ; chmod 775 /var/www ; usermod -a -G www-data webftp
[12:49] <howlingmadhowie> vox754: i was trying to get Quinton__to remove a symbolic link to the linux source code and replace it with a symbolic link to the headers
[12:49] <ThanatosDrive> jmg: Not working. Both didn't work.
[12:49] <Kawika> octocore: take a peek at this site: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=494943
[12:49] <ThanatosDrive> CounterStrike exits, the screen flashes, and Counter-Strike is back.
[12:49] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: now go back to "cd" and try "sh NVIDIA*" again...
[12:49] <Quinton__> cd
[12:49] <Quinton__> oh sorry
[12:49] <Nick_Hill> slabby, So you will be changing ownership of everything under /var/www to www-data. Then making www-data group writable (by members of www-data) then adding www-data as a supplementary group to webftp.
[12:50] <unagi> is it possible to have desktop icons automatically sit on the right side or to add menu items to the desktop menu?
[12:50] <ThanatosDrive> unagi: You're on GNOME?
[12:50] <unagi> yes
[12:50] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: same thing
[12:50] <ThanatosDrive> unagi: System > Preferences > Main Menu

[12:51] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: oh, this is beginning to get frustrating. it still doesn't find the source code for the headers
[12:51] <unagi> not that menu
[12:51] <aleksium> not sure about its built in card
[12:51] <ThanatosDrive> unagi: Wait I think I got you all wrong.

[12:51] <Nick_Hill> vox754, our suggestion of a diver issue preventing a 6100 chipset going to suspend was correct.
[12:51] <Kawika> aleksium: let me take a look..
[12:51] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: please see file /var/log/nviidia-installer.log for details?
[12:51] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay, try "apt-cache search linux-headers" what does it say?
[12:51] <Nick_Hill> vox754, ...yesterday
[12:51] <vox754> Nick_Hill, what did you do? which did you remove?
[12:51] <wckdkl0wn> how do i connect to a vcn server?
[12:52] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: alot of stuff....
[12:52] <unagi> is it possible to have desktop icons automatically sit on the right side or to add menu items to the desktop menu?
[12:52] <Nick_Hill> vox754, I disabled all on-board hardware. Re-enabled until problem came back. Then disabled problem device, enabled everythign else.
[12:52] <vox754> wckdkl0wn, vcn or vnc?
[12:52] <wckdkl0wn> vnc sry
[12:52] <Nick_Hill> vox754, Found OHCI-HCD blocked system going to suspend.
[12:53] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay, i'm gonna try something here. try "apt-get install linux-headers-generic"
[12:53] <Nick_Hill> vox754, (USB host driver)
[12:53] <vox754> Nick_Hill, that's USB!
[12:54] <vox754> Nick_Hill, tried hibernate also?
[12:54] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: done and it said they were auto installed and no longer requiere libdecoration0
[12:54] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: and if this doesn't work, we're going to configure your router so i can get in from outside and install the driver for you
[12:54] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: auto installed or already installed?
[12:54] <Nick_Hill> vox754, However, neither on-board or add-in Nvidious video chipset would recover properly from STR. (Suspend To Ram).
[12:54] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: auto
[12:54] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: did it download anything?
[12:54] <gbw> hello, how can i tell ubuntu to automount if there is usb storage plugged in? i always have to do mount /dev/sd*, it is very unconvenient
[12:55] <Nick_Hill> vox754, That is, when using free driver. I have no intention of using non-free drivers.
[12:55] <vox754> wckdkl0wn, there is some terminal server client thing in the menu under internet
[12:55] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: quikly but yes
[12:55] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: good. now type "ls -l /usr/src" and tell me what "linux" is pointing at
[12:55] <m_> i've got the ubuntu desktop and bootscreen, but kubuntu log in screen. can anyone help me getting ubuntu login screen? i'm a newbie
[12:56] <aleksium> Kawika: If you havent found a solution yet... I think I can live without it... Installing Kubuntu right now... The KDE installer recognizes my monitor just fine
[12:56] <Kawika> aleksium: try reading this thread.  There are a couple other links within this thread.  Sounds like you need to get the video card driver resolved first, then graphics should get more "normal".
[12:56] <Nick_Hill> vox754, Apparently, according to Matthew Garrett on bug 121801, Nvidious don't give information necessary to re-initialise chipset. Done in card's BIOS which is disabled after booting.
[12:56] <KeeperOfTheSoul> I'm slightly confused as to the difference between beryl and compiz

[12:56] <Sensae> Hello
[12:56] <ThanatosDrive> m_: Bottom left corner, there should be a menu where you can choose the session you log into.
[12:56] <gbw> anyone can help me?
[12:57] <aleksium> Kawika: link??
[12:57] <jr_> kawika: if ur still here im downloading fiesty now :)
[12:57] <Sensae> Is anybody here familiar with Vnc and getting it to run in xinetd?
[12:57] <vox754> Nick_Hill, getting the video back is like the most important thing of coming back from a suspended state. So what now?
[12:57] <Kawika> aleksium: that would help huh??? :p  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57430
[12:57] <Kawika> jr_: good job.  I think you will like it.
[12:57] <Sensae> I have vnc and xinetd installed, and I can launcher Xvnc manually, and then connect, but I'm having problems getting Xvnc to start it.
[12:57] <wckdkl0wn> how about connecting to a vpn?
[12:57] <ThanatosDrive> Screw this.
[12:58] <m_> ThanatosDrive: what do you mean? the login screen is kubuntu, but the desktop is ubuntu... i have both
[12:58] <Sensae> Also, I'm running XFCE and when I connect via vnc, it gives me the x11 screen without any wm or even xterms running
[12:58] <aleksium> GRACI
[12:58] <ThanatosDrive> WINE isuseless.
[12:58] <vox754> wckdkl0wn, isn't that some windows thingy?
[12:58] <unagi> ive found wine useful
[12:58] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: there should be an entry in the list you get when you enter "ls -l /usr/src" which looks something like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 <recent date and time> linux -> <something>. can you tell me what the <something> is?
[12:58] <jr_> thanatosdrive: yes, it is
[12:58] <wckdkl0wn> vox754, yea.. buddy of mine told me to try to connect to his vpn.. gave me the ip, username, password, but wouldnt give me the port lol.. dared me to
[12:59] <Nick_Hill> vox754, I found that by using an add-in non-nvidia chipset, and removing OHCI-HCD, the machine will go into, and recover from STR. Where now? I have filed bugs. I don't know what else to do, apart from warn people off NVidia Chipsets, at least, until they start being more open.
[12:59] <m_>  i've got the ubuntu desktop and bootscreen, but kubuntu log in screen. can anyone help me getting ubuntu login screen? i'm a newbie

[01:01] <Kawika> wckdkl0wn: wouldn't that be as simple as scanning the ports on that particular IP address?
[01:01] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: i've just had a rather ominous idea. can you give me the result of "uname -m"
[01:02] <ThanatosDrive> Guys, RhythmBox crashes on every attmept to play a song. ANy ideas?
[01:02] <m_> Sensae: thx
[01:02] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: under lrwxrwxrwx it says linux-headquarters*
[01:02] <wckdkl0wn> Kawika, yea but didnt find any ports... he is about 1000 miles away too lol so its not a network pc
[01:02] <slabby> nick_hill, wont let me create any files in there
[01:02] <Sensae> Is anyone familiar with vnc and xinetd?
[01:02] <Nick_Hill> slabby, can you su webftp?
[01:02] <tupa> how can I trim a file to return only the first 12 characters from every line in a file?, I think this could be done with sed, but I'm a little lost in the manual page
[01:03] <ThanatosDrive> Guys I have a HUGE problem. There is no sound.
[01:03] <Nick_Hill> As webftp, can you read/write to /var/www
[01:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: can you give me the result of "uname -m"?
[01:03] <ThanatosDrive> This is quite possibility the worst thing Ubuntu can do to me.
[01:03] <slabby> nick_hill, I can read but not write
[01:03] <slabby> nick_hill, if I sudo I can write
[01:03] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: i686
[01:04] <vox754> tupa, maybe you can use other scripting language like bash, perl, python or tcl
[01:04] <ThanatosDrive> Err, anyone?
[01:04] <ThanatosDrive> I can't get sound playing in Ubuntu, and any attempts to play it results in the program crashing.
[01:04] <vox754> !please > ThanatosDrive
[01:04] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: and the result of "ls /root" ? (i.e. the full name of the NVIDIA file you downloaded)
[01:04] <benzs_s> what's the easiest way to extract audio (.mp3) from a .flv video?
[01:05] <ThanatosDrive> benzs_s: I wuld say Audacity.
[01:05] <Nick_Hill> slabby, copy the contents of /etc/group and output of ls -lR /var/www and ls -ld /var/www to pastebin then give me link
[01:05] <Kawika> wckdkl0wn: also if he is daring you to connect, I'd assume he's moved from the normal ports.
[01:05] <tupa> vox754 and how would that help?, sed is a stream filter, I think it's easiear once you know how to do it, but manual pages don't help me very much :(
[01:05] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run
[01:05] <benzs_s> not sure audacity does it
[01:05] <ThanatosDrive> benzs_s: While it might not produce the best quality of sound, it's probably the quickest and least painful of ways.
[01:05] <unagi> is it possible to have desktop icons automatically sit on the right side or to add menu items to the desktop menu?
[01:05] <ThanatosDrive> benzs_s: Really? Just play the video and record the sound.
[01:05] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay, i was just checking it was the right version :)
[01:05] <slabby> nick_hill, ok
[01:05] <wckdkl0wn> Kawika,  yea more then likely... he said that if he told me the name of the program he used to creat his vpn that it would auto find the port i need for me
[01:06] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: yay, so now what do we do?
[01:06] <orbisvicis> chine
[01:06] <vox754> tupa, well a lot of people don't know sed but know how to do the same things with the mentioned languages
[01:06] <BadNewsBear> benzs_s: worest comes to worest you could play the .flv file while you record wav output from your audio card
[01:06] <ThanatosDrive> BadNewsBear: Isn't that roughly the same as using Audacity?
[01:06] <BadNewsBear> with Audacity I m ent
[01:06] <orbisvicis> anyone know how to get nxserver working ?
[01:06] <Nick_Hill> slabby, Also, consider looking at the rute tutorial. Gives a good into to unix file permissions. In the longer term, you'll want to understand them. http://rute.2038bug.com/rute.html.gz
[01:06] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: try the following "rm /usr/src/linux" and then "ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic /usr/src/linux"
[01:07] <Kawika> wckdkl0wn, Interesting.  I hate those kind of challenges, cause I feel obligated to try... haha
[01:07] <askand> Hi..I have a bashscript.. one of the variables is url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=P85LoHftEKs   Is there a way to cut the variable after "=" and get a new variable called  "P85LoHftEKs"?
[01:07] <Optimus55> can ubuntu natively play flv?
[01:07] <wckdkl0wn> Kawika, exactly lol.. now i just need to know how to connect to a vpn through linux
[01:07] <howlingmadhowie> Optimus55: gnash can play them pretty good nowadays, but it's difficult to install. vlc can play flv files and is in the repositories
[01:08] <bruenig> askand, NEWVAR="$(echo $url | awk -F= '{print $2}')"
[01:08] <Optimus55> ah okay
[01:08] <BadNewsBear> I would recommend vlc for .flv playback

[01:09] <evri2> vlc playing flv of course
[01:09] <rivel> anyone know where to go?
[01:09] <askand>  bruenig:  thanks ill try
[01:09] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: comes up with root@ubuntu for all of them
[01:09] <DavidCraft> hey none of the files in /proc are really there... so on a drive not being used (not running the booted system) it should be empty right?
[01:09] <BadNewsBear> evril2: I think that is a aspect of flv videos maybe independant of vlc playback
[01:10] <tupa> vox754, mmm, askand question is similar to mine :P
[01:10] <rivel> powerpc downloads? where are the images on the site
[01:10] <rivel> im getting the run around
[01:10] <vox754> rivel, the is no official port for power PC starting 7.04, so you'll need a previous version. Look for the 6.06 distribution I'm sure its in the download page.
[01:10] <rivel> oh ok thank you very much
[01:10] <rivel> i will try that
[01:11] <rivel> wait
[01:11] <vox754> tupa, well bruenig is the bash, awk master so you are lucky he is here
[01:11] <rivel> does the ISO also include installer packages for powerpc
[01:11] <rivel> ?
[01:11] <rivel> for version 6.06
[01:11] <vox754> !enter | rivel
[01:11] <ubotu> rivel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:11] <bruenig> tupa, I just got here, I haven't seen yours
[01:11] <tupa> bruenig, I have a similar question to askand's. I have a text full of lines where I need the first 12 characters from every line, can you help me trim them?
[01:12] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay, let's see if that's helped. "cd" and "sh NVIDIA<tab>"
[01:13] <rivel> are the installer packages for powerpc included in the image of ubuntu 6.06?
[01:13] <jmad980> in gnome how do  you configure your graphics card?
[01:13] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: howlingmadhowie: do i have to put <tab> or a * ?
[01:13] <vox754> rivel, there are different isos, each for a single supported architecture, so yes.
[01:13] <ootm> can anyone tell me what the package name is for bridge utilities? I specifically want the brctl command but cant seem to find it
[01:13] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: just hit the tab-key after you've entered the first few letters.

[01:15] <testubu> I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for joining a linux machine to active directory, basically, join a windows domain
[01:15] <slabby> nick_hill, line #24
[01:15] <aleksium> man finally stuff is working.. GREAT!
[01:15] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: "apt-get install ssh".
[01:15] <ghostx> jmad08, if so then get the nvidia-settings package, shuld have a nice gui frontend
[01:15] <jmad980> no
[01:15] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: how is the laptop connected to the internet?
[01:16] <Kawika> aleksium: did that fix your problem ?
[01:16] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: coord
[01:16] <bruenig> tupa, will that work? It will omit lines that don't have at least 12 characters, not sure if that will be a problem or not
[01:16] <jmad980> I want to Set up my accelerator
[01:16] <AbuAnsar> i downloaeded "bluez-libs" and exracted  on desctop, but i dont know how to install it ?
[01:16] <Nick_Hill> slabby, the usermod should add webftp to the www-data line in /etc/group. chmod -R www-data:www-data /var/www should change ownership of the folder www-data and everything below it.
[01:16] <howlingmadhowie> /pm Quinton__
[01:16] <cafuego> AbuAnsar: You don't download or extract it, you install it via synaptic.
[01:16] <vox754> rivel, here is a german mirror http://snert.mi.hs-heilbronn.de/pub/ubuntu/releases/6.10/
[01:17] <Nick_Hill> slabby, the chmod 775 /var/www makes the folder group-writable so other members of the www-data group can write to that folder.
[01:17] <AbuAnsar> cafuego: cant find "bluez-libs"in synaptics
[01:17] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: no such file or directory
[01:17] <testubu> is it even possible for ubuntu 7.04 to join a windows domain as a client?
[01:17] <rhkfin> Anyone know a software to recover files from a compact flash card, that have already once been overwritten?
[01:17] <AbuAnsar> cafuego: there is bluez-utils there though
[01:17] <slabby> nick_hill, right so am I doing something wrong or is there another reason the commands are not running?
[01:17] <ThanatosDrive> Hey, does anyone know how to fix sound problems with Ubuntu? Sound problems as in 'absence of sound.'
[01:17] <Linuxuser> Anyone here?
[01:17] <Kawika> rhkfin: if they have been overwritten once, the chances are significantly reduced.
[01:17] <cafuego> AbuAnsar: Coz it might be in there under another name, try searching for 'bluez'.
[01:18] <AbuAnsar> cafuego thx!
[01:18] <Nick_Hill> slabby, Try going to root sudo su then running each command in turn.
[01:18] <Kawika> testubu: you can use SMB to connect to Windows shares
[01:18] <slabby> nick_hill, "sudo su" ??
[01:18] <vox754> bruenig, I believe tupa wants to keep only the first 12 (or less) characters of every line. Not ignoring the line in any way.
[01:18] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: try it again: apt-get install ssh
[01:18] <kazukisan> Running Fiesty and i installed all the gstreamer packages and xine packages and win32codecs and restricted package and dvdcss2 but for some reason i still cannot play avi files or really any video file, i get errors like "Could not determine type of stream"
[01:18] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, That depends. Has the whole card been re-written with new data?
[01:18] <Kawika> testubu: in feisty, Places->Connect to Server
[01:18] <Nick_Hill> slabby, Yes.
[01:19] <tupa> bruenig, it actually returns what I need, but tons of useless strings too
[01:19] <testubu> kawika: thank you!

[01:19] <rhkfin> Nick_Hill: Pretty much the whole card, yes..
[01:19] <Falstius> anyone know a linux tool for stressing a core2duo?  cpuburn doesn't really work for c2d (not stressful enough).
[01:19] <slabby> nick_hill, run all of them again?
[01:19] <bruenig> tupa, that is the first 12 characters of all lines that have twelve characters
[01:19] <saxin> what do I put in smb.conf to be able to find files shared without typing user/password?
[01:19] <Nick_Hill> slabby, that'll give you a root command prompt ending in # . You can then put commands in directly. When finished, type ctrl+d to log-out of root
[01:19] <bruenig> tupa, twelve or more characters*
[01:19] <Kawika> testubu: no problem.  I'm connecting to two shares on a Small Biz Server.
[01:19] <Linuxuser> Anyone help me out? i installed ubuntu on a dual boot system and i followed all the steps that i did on my own machine, and im on a friends machine trying to get it up, and im not getting a bootloader, and ive switched the boot priorties and its still not going? any suggestions?
[01:19] <ThanatosDrive> Hey, does anyone know how to fix sound problems with Ubuntu? Sound problems as in 'absence of sound.'
[01:20] <rhkfin> My image bank failed to save the files (or allocation table..) , so I'll possibly be able to restore the images from there. Any tools from that?
[01:20] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, Then no. If only the file system pointers have been re-written there is a chance. If the data areas have been re-written, no chance.
[01:20] <bruenig> tupa, or wait, I think it might actually start over, so if a line has 25 characters, it will print the first twelve and then on another line print the next 12 and so on
[01:20] <Falstius> Linuxuser: reinstall the boot loader manually (it isn't difficult)
[01:20] <Linuxuser> Falstius, could you walk me through it?
[01:20] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, which card do you have? If it is a very specialized card most probably it won't work because there are no linux drivers for it.
[01:21] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: ?
[01:21] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: It's an integrated sound card on my intel mobo.
[01:21] <crsd36> hi, i'm having resolution problems on a fresh install of feisty does anyone have any tips
[01:21] <crsd36> ?
[01:21] <Falstius> !grub | Linuxuser look at 'windows wiped out boot loader', its the same process
[01:21] <ubotu> Linuxuser look at 'windows wiped out boot loader', its the same process: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[01:21] <jmad980> how do you setup your graphics card?
[01:21] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: Congrats though. You're the first person to take notice.
[01:21] <kazukisan> what was the program called that allows you to easyly install other programs quickly, something like matix or something
[01:21] <slabby> nick_hill, done
[01:21] <Linuxuser> Falstius, super grub?
[01:21] <howlingmadhowie> how do you start a private chat in irc?
[01:21] <Kawika> jmad980, Do you know what kind of card/chipset you have ?
[01:21] <ThanatosDrive> jmad980: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver -phigh
[01:21] <jmad980> intel
[01:21] <ThanatosDrive> jmad980: I think
[01:21] <ThanatosDrive> !graphics
[01:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about graphics - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:22] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, Basically, if you have a 1G card with 1000 pics on there, if you delete the pics, there is a good chance of recovery. If you then write over the whole card with 1G data, the original data is lost ... forever.
[01:22] <tupa> bruenig, I'm pasting the result and the file so you can see
[01:22] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, I saw your post ages ago but could spare the time to answer you, hehe. Next time be more specific in your questions.
[01:22] <tupa> !paste

[01:22] <jmad980> thanks il try it
[01:22] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: More specific? I can't, really. I rebooted my computer and now no sound works.
[01:22] <Nick_Hill> slabby, good. Can you see webftp next to www-data in /etc/group?
[01:22] <Falstius> Linuxuser: what?
[01:22] <crsd36> jmad its an ati mobility
[01:22] <Linuxuser> Falstius, would super grub fix it?
[01:22] <kazukisan> Running Fiesty and i installed all the gstreamer packages and xine packages and win32codecs and restricted package and dvdcss2 but for some reason i still cannot play avi files or really any video file, i get errors like "Could not determine type of stream"
[01:22] <vox754> !doesnt work > ThanatosDrive
[01:23] <Falstius> Linuxuser: never heard of super grub.
[01:23] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: just aim me?
[01:23] <Nick_Hill> !doesnt work | ThanatosDrive
[01:23] <ubotu> ThanatosDrive: 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.
[01:23] <slabby> nick_hill, seems to have worked thanks
[01:24] <Nick_Hill> slabby, Great!
[01:24] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: Although if you want a step-by-step breakdown of what happened prior, I suppose that might help. 1.) I tried running CS via WINE. Failed. 2.) I tried running CS via WINE. Failed. 3.)  I tried running CS via WINE. Failed. 4.) This time the CS windows stayed up. And wouldn't die from xkill. So I 5.) Ctrl+Alt+BckSpce, which results now in all sound programs, crashing.
[01:24] <slabby> nick_hill, now one other thing, is it safe having this drive owned like this?
[01:24] <slabby> nick_hill, I mean directory when I say drive
[01:24] <rapid> why does my laptop occasionaly lose its ip i've assigned with ifconfig ??
[01:24] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, there you go! That is being specific.
[01:24] <Nick_Hill> slabby, It means Apache can write to the folder. But that isn't usually particularly unsafe.
[01:25] <crsd36> i'm stuck at 800x600 or 640x480 resolution
[01:25] <rayvd> howlingmadhowie: /query
[01:25] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: I've checked the cables, I've checked if it was muted, no dice. But I imagine if the problem were in the cables, the programs wouldn't be shutting down randomly.
[01:25] <Nick_Hill> crsd36, there is a bug for that.
[01:25] <slabby> nick_hill, how does what ive done give apache access?
[01:25] <tupa> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31480/ bruenig, done. as you can see in the paste, the result is unexpected
[01:25] <ThanatosDrive> Nick_Hill: I hope you mean solution, because I get that sometimes too.
[01:25] <Nick_Hill> crsd36, Try as root dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:25] <rapid> why does my laptop occasionaly lose its ip i've assigned with ifconfig ?? and i've got to reassign it with ifconfig
[01:26] <Baktaah> Excuse me, does anyone got a Intel Wireless 4965
[01:26] <rayvd> rapid: dhcp
[01:26] <vox754> rapid, issues with the driver, buggy driver, buggy software, power issues. That is it.  It is a tough thing to debug.
[01:26] <Nick_Hill> ThanatosDrive, ;-)
[01:26] <ThanatosDrive> crsd36: Add -phigh to the end of that statement (don't forget adding a space!) to skip directly to the video configs.
[01:26] <bruenig> tupa, you just want that first chunk of numbers and letters right?
[01:27] <tupa> bruenig, right
[01:27] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: So...no solution? Because I never needed a driver prior, to get sound. Oh yeah and MIDI doesn't work too.
[01:27] <rapid> ty
[01:27] <daan> I have a problem with Flash in Firefox. I installed a new soundcard and now I don't hear sound anymore in Flash video's and so on.
[01:27] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: can you give me your aim number?
[01:27] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: Just tested.
[01:27] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: you mean name and yeah, jetoninjinx
[01:28] <slabby> nick_hill, how does what ive done give apache access?
[01:28] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: Although in giving me the error, my PC emitted a 'beep'.
[01:28] <Nick_Hill> slabby, Apache runs as www-data. So if you give write access to www-data, apache, or processes run by apache can write to it.
[01:28] <rhkfin> Nick_Hill: Hmm.. I see that if it's been overwritten, recovery gets a lot more difficult. But how about the image bank. I saw it copying the images there, but later I wasn't able to find the files, so I suspect that it stopped (=didn't write the allocation table) because of low batteries.
[01:28] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, if it worked before then I have no clue. Maybe a corrupted thing. Remove wine and what not. Check launchpad for a bug report and ubuntuforums.org with you exact hardware.
[01:28] <slabby> nick_hill, ok thanks
[01:29] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: hang on, i haven't got aim, i've just got icq
[01:29] <lethologica> I am in Synaptic package manager, I want to install xubuntu-system-toools, it says in order to do that I need to remove ubuntu-desktop and gnome-desktop-tools, is this safe to do?
[01:29] <slabby> nick_hill, thanks alot for you help cya
[01:29] <supaneko> I'm having trouble with dual monitors in Feisty. Could somone please help me?
[01:29] <Nick_Hill> slabby, You're welcome!
[01:29] <bruenig> tupa, grep -o '^[0-9A-F] \{12\}' file
[01:29] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: alrighty
[01:30] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: Actually I'm thinking about just reinstalling WinXP. Problems are serious in Linux. Or, no. They aren't. As long as I don't a.) try to compose music or b.) play games, everything works fine. But since the said above take up about 90% of my computing time...
[01:30] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: may i reccomend pidgin? www.pidgin.im
[01:30] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, If the files are really important, and have been written to media, bit not overwritten, there is a good chance of recovery. Whether that media is your hard drive or a pen drive.
[01:30] <evri2> Guys,Do you know how to configure Mplayer's Brightness,Saturation,Hue etc.?
[01:30] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: i already have gaim installed (and am using it atm), i just don't have an aim account
[01:30] <toad__> i have got audio but cannot get mic to work in skype
[01:30] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, yes, it all depends on hardware manufacturers. Send them a letter.
[01:30] <supaneko> Can anyone tell me how to move window from screen 0 to screen 1 (like, drag it from one monitor to the other). I can't seem to get it to work for me (if this is even possible).
[01:30] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, I suppose there are utilities which can scan media for Jpeg headers then interpret file ends.
[01:30] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, which will spit the results as jpegs.
[01:31] <amidaniel> ThanatosDrive: What's your problem?
[01:31] <Baktaah> Excuse me, does anyone got a Intel Wireless 4965
[01:31] <bruenig> how do you highlight something in the terminal via cli, like in most apps you can hold shift and move the arrows, but that won't work in the terminal, I am on the laptop and try to keep away from the touchpad as much as possible
[01:31] <wckdkl0wn> i installed vpn connection manager from this addy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91249  but the icon is grey in my applications menu and wont open
[01:31] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: The way I see it, it's a vicious cycle. People don't use Linux because support is low, and support is low because people don't use Linux.
[01:31] <bruenig> Baktaah, ndiswrapper maybe is your only option
[01:31] <tschaub> can I configure synaptic package manager to search http://packages.debian.org/unstable ?
[01:31] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel: Hang on, Let me find it from the above mess.
[01:31] <tupa> bruenig, done, thank you, one more question though
[01:32] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel: My sound doesn't work. Although if you want a step-by-step breakdown of what happened prior, I suppose that might help. 1.) I tried running CS via WINE. Failed. 2.) I tried running CS via WINE. Failed. 3.)  I tried running CS via WINE. Failed. 4.) This time the CS windows stayed up. And wouldn't die from xkill. So I 5.) Ctrl+Alt+BckSpce, which results now in all sound programs, crashing.
[01:32] <vox754> bruenig, I guess you don't, you just yank and paste things like Ctrl+K or +U or +Y I forget.
[01:32] <Testtube> Hey guys what is the best way of completly uninstalling apache 2.2  in ubuntu 5.1?
[01:32] <kitche> bruenig:umm use the mouse to highlight that's the only way I know how to
[01:32] <tupa> what does the ^ simbol means after the first '
[01:32] <amidaniel> ThanatosDrive: Wine is very, very tricky business. What is CS?
[01:32] <Nick_Hill> Baktaah, try http://intellinuxwireless.org/
[01:32] <PriceChild> Testtube, breezy has reached EOL and is no longer supported.
[01:32] <bruenig> tupa, means the first of the line
[01:32] <PriceChild> Testtube, but sudo apt-get remove apache2
[01:32] <Truman_> Can anyone recommend any sort of video editing software for Ubuntu?
[01:32] <rhkfin> Nick_Hill: the media is a 2.5" hard drive. And the files are NEF files, not JPG:s so it makes it a bit more difficult.. (NEF = Nicon Raw)
[01:33] <bruenig> tupa, ^ is front of line, $ is end of line
[01:33] <Testtube> Super user apt-get remove apache2 should work though?
[01:33] <lethologica> I am in Synaptic package manager, I want to install xubuntu-system-toools, it says in order to do that I need to remove ubuntu-desktop and gnome-desktop-tools, is this safe to do?
[01:33] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel: Counter-Strike, specifically, version 1.6, a popular First Person Shooter (FPS)
[01:33] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, How important is it to recover them?
[01:33] <tupa> bruenig, so a $ would do a backwards matching or what?
[01:33] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, Are we talking thousands of Dollars/Pounds?
[01:33] <bruenig> tupa, so if you wanted to find a line that only had the word stuff on it, the pattern would be '^stuff$'
[01:33] <amidaniel> ThanatosDrive: Ohh .. now I'm sure I know people who have gotten it working under wine. I'm sure there's a how-to somewhere
[01:34] <amidaniel> As I said though, wine is very finicky
[01:34] <Baktaah> Nick_Hill  I dont know how to install those
[01:34] <ThanatosDrive> bruenig: dw for delete word, d5w for delting 5 words, etc. I forget -.-
[01:34] <tupa> bruenig ahaaa, nice
[01:34] <Nick_Hill> Baktaah, Which ubuntu are you running?
[01:34] <rhkfin> Nick_Hill: No, only two days of holiday photos (volcano w. lava etc...). So would be nice to have them, if possible, but..
[01:34] <bruenig> ThanatosDrive, not vim, I mean on the prompt, or does that work?
[01:34] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel: Yes, and I followed that How-To, ans ended up in this mess I am in here.
[01:34] <elmoj> hi everybody
[01:35] <ThanatosDrive> bruenig: It doesn't I just tried it.
[01:35] <osxdude|down> Okay, I am burning the alternate because even the live cd at the full speed of my drive (24x) isn't good enough to run it. Before the burn finishes, any help?
[01:35] <tupa> bruenig, and what if the chunk of numbers/letters I'm searching start from the let's say, 13th character?
[01:35] <akos> hello! Can anyone tell me what exactly is this, and why is it appearing? once or twice a day?
[01:35] <elmoj> can I ask you a question, please?
[01:35] <akos> http://www.pastebin.ca/635281
[01:35] <Baktaah> Nick_Hill feisty
[01:35] <ThanatosDrive> elmoj: Certainly but a response is not always required.
[01:35] <DavidCraft> hey Im copying my whole hard drive (with linux on it).  It throws a bunch of permission denied errors in the sys directory.  Why??
[01:35] <Nick_Hill> rhkfin, In that case, open sample raw files with hexedit. See if they have some identifiable start/end. Then point hexedit at your hard drive, search for strings.
[01:35] <ajax4> Hey guys, what command can I use to find the UUID of one of my hard drives?
[01:35] <elmoj> ok, i'll try: is large to explain, but i think, easy to you to solve it
[01:35] <askand> What command to check where I am?
[01:35] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: =]  almost?
[01:36] <bruenig> tupa, there are always more than one way to do something with regex, I would probably first strip the file of the first twelve characters and then go from there, that seems pretty simple
[01:36] <Nick_Hill> askand, pwd
[01:36] <PriceChild> ajax4, blkid
[01:36] <vox754> ajax4, "vol_id"
[01:36] <tilatweli> can anyone help me I want to add a user to the sudoers who can execute only one command and no password is required how do i do that?
[01:36] <ajax4> PriceChild: Thanks
[01:36] <askand>  Nick_Hill: thanks
[01:36] <osxdude|down> DavidCraft: What file system are you copying to?
[01:36] <ajax4> vox754: Thanks, I'll try both of those.
[01:36] <DavidCraft> ext3
[01:36] <vox754> ajax4, which do you think works best?
[01:36] <Nick_Hill> tilatweli, man sudoers
[01:36] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: just so I dont go through MASS trouble after you get nvidia to work would you be oh so kind to install and make beryl to work? I would really really appreciate it!
[01:37] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: i wish i could, but it's still very unsure that i'll manage to dial in to your system
[01:37] <amidaniel> ThanatosDrive: Well, I dunno .. I'm sure it can be done, but it's not an easy business. You might consider dual-booting; that's what I've been doing for quite some time now on my laptop. About 95% of what I do I can do under *nix, but then there are those sad moments when I need to *gasp* open visual studio
[01:37] <BoBothn> I need help with my hard drive. I bought a nice new 500 gig drive formated it with ext3 but when i go to the drive it says it only has 204.7 GB free space
[01:37] <j4ne> hi
[01:37] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: ohhh
[01:37] <DavidCraft> so why wont it copy?
[01:37] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: how come?

[01:38] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel: I'm looking to jsut reinstall Ubuntu and WinXP.

[01:39] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: 1/ you need to find the ip-address of the network card in the laptop 2/ you need to edit the NAT tables of your router so as to forward incoming packets on port 22 to the ip address of your laptop. 3/ you have to install and activate the ssh-server.

[01:40] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: I dont know how to do any of that
[01:40] <kitche> Quinton__: you really shouldn't let people ssh into your system that you don't know
[01:40] <Azerias> hi
[01:40] <elmoj> i try it but nobody knows o answer my question :P
[01:40] <rhkfin> Nick_Hill: thanks1
[01:40] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: exactly. and i can't really help you with any of it :(
[01:40] <soulrider> BoBothn:  what kind of drive? check the jumper settings
[01:40] <bruenig> sshing into systems would be so much easier
[01:40] <Azerias> how can I get a list of ALL commands I have entered into the shell?
[01:40] <bruenig> Azerias, history
[01:40] <JHM910> lol okay, well, im learning a bit of a programming but all i use are IDE's on windows, how do i compile, build and run programs on linux/ubuntu?
[01:40] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel: I'm kinda disappointing in Ubuntu actually =/ I thought it'd be more stable.
[01:41] <BoBothn> soulrider it is a sata drive and gpart displays it as the right size
[01:41] <kitche> bruenig: true but can be dangerous also
[01:41] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: .... linux made themselves free becauase you do more then bill gates did to make it work ><;
[01:41] <vox754> elmoj, well seems easy to do with a shell script called every time in startup

[01:41] <soulrider> BoBothn: no idea really
[01:41] <Azerias> bruenig, where is that history?
[01:41] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: maybe automatix?
[01:41] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: if you can wait long enough, the new version of the nvidia driver will soon be a standard package you can download and install using synaptic.
[01:41] <roger> is there a feature that works like "cleartype" in windows ?
[01:41] <bruenig> kitche, yeah I certainly wouldn't let someone do that to me, but on the helper end...
[01:41] <bruenig> Azerias, just type history
[01:41] <soulrider> Azerias: .bashhistory i think
[01:41] <elmoj> can you explain me please? i'm newbie on this.. .and is possibly to load it before "all"
[01:41] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: can i have eye candies until then?
[01:41] <elmoj> ?
[01:41] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: yeah, you can try automatix of course. i've never use it myself :(
[01:41] <Azerias> bruenig, there is a shell (konsole??) in "kate" and one normal shell to start ... are they all the same?
[01:41] <PriceChild> !automatix | howlingmadhowie Quinton__
[01:41] <ubotu> howlingmadhowie Quinton__: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems.

Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[01:42] <soulrider> Quinton__: i have an nvidia card, its not hard to install the nvidia driver
[01:42] <soulrider> especially not in ubuntu
[01:42] <bruenig> Azerias, should be
[01:42] <Quinton__> coulrider: ?
[01:42] <Quinton__> soulrider: mines not working?
[01:42] <soulrider> Quinton__: you install the nvidia-glx package ?
[01:42] <BoBothn> Help Please with my hard drive. I bought a nice new 500 gig drive formated it with ext3 but when i go to the drive it says it only has 204.7 GB free space
[01:42] <DavidCraft> alright better, now I just get a bunch (though much less) input/output errors
[01:42] <elmoj> Quinton__, envy software solves my problem with nvidia drivers
[01:42] <Azerias> thank you bruenig
[01:42] <Azerias> thank you soulrider
[01:42] <Azerias> bye bye,  see you soon!
[01:43] <Nick_Hill> Goodnight all!
[01:43] <Quinton__> soulrider: i think....
[01:43] <BadNewsBear> good night
[01:43] <amidaniel> Quinton__: What's the problem with it?
[01:43] <vox754> elmoj, I haven't done it but check out the links ubotu gave you. There is a private message.
[01:43] <JHM910> how do you program on ubuntu, im used to all these IDEs on windows?
[01:43] <Quinton__> amidaniel: wont install
[01:43] <soulrider> Quinton__: just do this, "sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx"
[01:43] <amidaniel> Quinton__: The driver?
[01:43] <DavidCraft> osxdude|down: its better thanks, now I just get some input/output errors
[01:43] <howlingmadhowie> soulrider: he did, but he has an 8400 which isn't supported in the current nvidia-glx package, so he downloaded the driver from nvidia.org and tried to compile it himself. it refuses however to find the kernel-header-sources
[01:43] <soulrider> and then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change "nv" to "nvidia" in the driver section
[01:43] <axos88> hello! Can anyone tell me what exactly is this, and why is it appearing? once or twice a day?  http://www.pastebin.ca/635281
[01:43] <self> I want to set up Ubuntu server on an old P3 box and use it as a server and open-compile-box (don't ask ;) ) and wonder how I can install Ubuntu server on there without a monitor, perhaps some sort of book disk with ssh preloaded so I can install remotely?
[01:43] <rhkfin> How to open a disk (not a file) in ghex?
[01:44] <elmoj> ok, i'll check, i return to explain you!
[01:44] <elmoj> thanks a lot to everybody
[01:44] <soulrider> howlingmadhowie, Quinton__  im almost sure there are legacy packages for the drivers
[01:44] <weaselhawk> i have been trying to get a remote control working on mythtv in ubuntu for like 2 years now
[01:44] <BoBothn> Help Please with my hard drive. I bought a nice new 500 gig drive formated it with ext3 but when i go to the drive it says it only has 204.7 GB free space
[01:44] <howlingmadhowie> soulrider: i'm just going by the threads on ubuntuforums.org. i don't have an 8400 myself.
[01:44] <Testtube> PriceChild I have ~11,000 production units running ubuntu 5.10 We are going to be removing apache2 from the units loggin in as the super user and running the command  apt-get remove apache2 should do the trick?
[01:44] <amidaniel> BoBothn: Did you partition the entire drive?
[01:44] <Quinton__> soulrider: permission denied
[01:44] <BoBothn> yes
[01:45] <weaselhawk> i know at least 20 people that want mythtv but i have never even heard of a working remote control
[01:45] <BoBothn> amidaniel, Yes and gpart recognized it all
[01:45] <soulrider> Quinton__: you need to edit it as root, aka with sudo, but dont do it if you ahve a legacy card
[01:45] <JHM910> total newbie to linux, how does one go about programming/using c++ on linux...
[01:45] <PriceChild> Testtube, that will remove most of it yes... it won't remove configuration files.
[01:45] <soulrider> hold on a sec Quinton__ dont touch anything yet
[01:45] <Quinton__> soulrider: uhm sure...
[01:45] <soulrider> JHM910: you can get an IDE or just program in a text editor, then compile with g++
[01:45] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: maybe hes on to something?
[01:45] <PriceChild> Testtube, Please remember breezy has reached EOL... you aren't getting security updates etc.
[01:45] <ThanatosDrive> vox754, you there?
[01:45] <NixMan> weaselhawk: what does one use mythtv for? I think i know, but I'm not sure. Mind explaining briefly?
[01:45] <soulrider> JHM910: you should install the apckage called "build-essential"
[01:45] <Testtube> PriceChild: Can you invision any complications from doing so?
[01:46] <vox754> BoBothn, are you sure the drive is correctly detected in the BIOS. Some drives allow to limit the size of the hard drive with jumpers.
[01:46] <PriceChild> Testtube, none of the machines will run a web server... only complication :P Make sure you test it, ensure none of your in-house apps depend on it and you suddenly realise :)
[01:46] <Folko> Hi.. I removed an USB BlueTooth dongle from my USB port and now the USB stack seems to have crashed, e.g. the lsbusb command hangs and can't even be kill -9'ed. When I try to remove the l2cap kernel module, I get "device is in use". How do I fix this without a reboot?
[01:46] <BoBothn> vox754, Ubuntu can see the hole drive tho
[01:46] <elmoj> vox754, sorry I'm trying but how can I know what is the usb id every boot? in the command sudo echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/1-4/bConfigurationValue the usb1 can be 2 and the 1-4 can be everything i think
[01:46] <Testtube> PriceChild: Unfortunatly with the way we have things setup upgrading to newer versions (however planned) is not easy. these units happen to be at 11,000 different locations
[01:46] <JHM910> soulrider: you see, thats the problem, i dont know too much about the linux terminal, im not too sure how to compile these programs and make them into files
[01:47] <orbisvicis> !ssh
[01:47] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[01:47] <soulrider> Quinton__: yours is an old card, yeah ?
[01:47] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: you can try it. you will however have to remove the entries we added to /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common before it works
[01:47] <soulrider> JHM910: install a package you mean or something you made ?
[01:47] <vox754> BoBothn, then what can't?
[01:47] <Testtube> Pricechild: Of course :P Plan on doing it to several demo machines first.
[01:47] <howlingmadhowie> soulrider: it's brand new and not supported by the current driver in the repositories
[01:47] <Quinton__> soulrider: sony vaio vgn-ar520e
[01:47] <soulrider> oh, i thought it was legacy
[01:47] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: What do you mean by launchpad?
[01:47] <soulrider> whata bout the nvidia-glx-new package ?
[01:47] <JHM910> something i made, like for instance a simple hello world program
[01:47] <rhkfin> To open a disk in hex editor, do I actually open the device and not the mounted directory?
[01:47] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: As in this message: ThanatosDrive, if it worked before then I have no clue. Maybe a corrupted thing. Remove wine and what not. Check launchpad for a bug report and ubuntuforums.org with you exact hardware.
[01:47] <Ubunnted> Hello! : )
[01:47] <BoBothn> vox754, when i go to propertys it says their is only 204.7 gb free
[01:47] <Testtube> Apache2 should never had been installed in the first place some how it made its way on the Image.
[01:48] <Falstius> JHM910: there are several IDEs .. anjuta, kdevelop, eclipse, etc.  But using a text editor and g++ is not hard for simple programs.
[01:48] <soulrider> JHM910: ok, you got g++ installed ?
[01:48] <vox754> elmoj, then you can use I guess a script with /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb?/1-4/   where the question mark is any character, yes that is right
[01:48] <JHM910> yes g++ is intsalled, that i made sure of
[01:48] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: Actually I'm going to just try rebooting. It usually fixes problems in Windows. Maybe it'll work here. BRB.
[01:48] <soulrider> ok JHM910, open a terminal and cd into the directory containing the source
[01:48] <unagi> is it possible to arrange desktop icons by type instead of name?
[01:48] <Folko> Rebooting would fix my problem, but I can't..
[01:48] <soulrider> JHM910:  then do: g++ * -o <name of output file>
[01:48] <Ubunnted> Does anyone know why on a fresh Unbuntu install the hard drive is working non-stop?
[01:49] <elmoj> vox754, ohhhh perfect, and how can i do sudo -s and don't ask me for the password???? sorry for annoying you
[01:49] <Prophezy> Il try here
[01:49] <JHM910> quick noob question again, the extension of my written program is .cpp? correct?
[01:49] <Folko> Ubunnted: Maybe updatedb is running
[01:49] <Falstius> JHM910: .cpp works (as do a few others)
[01:49] <Prophezy> Hi, is there any Ubuntu &Kubuntu Guru in here that can help me to solve my adept manager problem?
[01:49] <soulrider> elmoj: it didnt ask you? when you do sudo it gives you the powers for like 15 minutes i think
[01:49] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay, let's change back the entry in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common and try the nvidia-glx-new package
[01:49] <JHM910> okay in the directory
[01:50] <vox754> elmoj, I'm not totally sure. But I think you need to place the script in one of those init.d folders so it gets run with appropriate root access upon start up.
[01:50] <soulrider> JHM910: cd into the dir and do:   g++ *.cpp -o <name of output executable>
[01:50] <elmoj> soulrider, if it's in boot i guess it ask me for password, isn't it?
[01:50] <Falstius> JHM910: If you have a file called hello.cpp, you can do 'make hello' and you'll get an executable called hello
[01:50] <Ubunnted> Folko: I've never known 'updatedb' to run for over two hours.
[01:50] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: I will brb my father needs my help... i am so sorry... I will message you as soon as i can and soon
[01:50] <Folko> Ubunnted: Install and run atop, it displays which program is using the HDD
[01:50] <elmoj> vox754, ok, i'll try, i'm gonna restart to prove it
[01:50] <jtd> can someone give me a hand with the Restricted Drivers Manager?  I installed from the server CD and apparently it's installed a "server kernel."  When I go to use the RDM it tells me I need to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-server, which doesn't exist.  So I'm trying to install a kernel that DOES have restricted module support compiled in, but the only option I can find in apt-cache search is linux-generic.  I have an Athl
[01:50] <JHM910> okay it made a file called a.out
[01:50] <elmoj> thanks for all, i return in 5 minuts
[01:50] <jbrown> #drupal-support
[01:50] <holychico>  Is it possible to reorder itens in gnome window list?
[01:51] <PriceChild> jtd, ath....
[01:51] <soulrider> JHM910: now do:      ./a.out
[01:51] <soulrider> that tells the terminal to run a.out whoch is in the currest directory
[01:51] <jtd> PriceChild: Yes?
[01:51] <JHM910> okay got that, now how do i make it into a executable file?
[01:51] <soulrider> if you just did a.out it would look for it in /bin/
[01:51] <Ubunnted> Folko: I've done that and I haven't yet been able to nail down what's doing it.
[01:51] <soulrider> JHM910: thats executable
[01:51] <PriceChild> jtd, did your message get cut off?
[01:51] <jtd> oh, crap
[01:51] <orbisvicis> why do i get this: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[01:51] <orbisvicis>  * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server...                                                                                                            [ OK ] 
[01:51] <orbisvicis>  * OpenBSD Secure Shell server not in use (/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run)?
[01:51] <JHM910> err what was falstiu talking about?
[01:52] <jtd> Will this "generic" kernel  include optimizations for my k7 chip?
[01:52] <soulrider> JHM910: executables here dont really have ane xtension, extensions are not really used in linux, it actually looks atthe content of the file
[01:52] <orbisvicis> my bad ... supposed to be 3 lines
[01:52] <Falstius> JHM910: just an alternate way of doing things.
[01:52] <JHM910> falstius**
[01:52] <vox754> JHM910, soulrider you can discuss all your programming knowledge in #ubuntu-programming Please feel free to go there if you feel this channel is too crowded.
[01:53] <ThanatosDrive> amidaniel, vox754: Absurd. Rebooting fixed it. I feel like kicking myself.
[01:53] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, rebooting is always a good thing before coming into irc. I'm serious
[01:53] <wckdkl0wn> how would i find the open ports on an ip address?
[01:53] <vox754> !launchpad | ThanatosDrive
[01:53] <ubotu> ThanatosDrive: launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's Bounty and Bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/
[01:53] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: netstat -a | grep tcp | grep LIST
[01:53] <Ubunnted> Folko: Top normally brings programs running the most CPU to the top, but I'll bet I'm not using it right.
[01:53] <howlingmadhowie> JHM910: that is to say, a file has an executable flag. as long as the flag is set, the shell will try to treat it as an executable
[01:53] <savethePool> wckdkl0wn: use nmap (Carefully!)
[01:53] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: I had hoped Ubuntu had better stability than that, but, oh well.
[01:53] <Folko> Ubunnted: not top, atop - It's a different program
[01:54] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, that was not stability, that was windows, that is wine
[01:54] <Ubunnted> Folko: Or I've neglected an option...
[01:54] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, not of my ip address but an outside ip... buddy of mine challeneged me to connect to his vpn.. gave me everything i need to connect except the port number
[01:54] <ThanatosDrive> vox754: How can I remove...nevermind. Google'll tell me.
[01:54] <Ubunnted> Folko: OH! Let me try.
[01:54] <Ubunnted> Folko: Let me try...
[01:54] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, that's the spirit!
[01:54] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: Install nmap, it's a port scanner
[01:55] <enzo_> Is any one here good at calculus?
[01:56] <enzo_> I have a math question
[01:56] <howlingmadhowie> enzo_: offtopic, but i get by
[01:56] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: back
[01:56] <vox754> ThanatosDrive, the forums, ubuntuforums.org already have tons of tutorials and tips from previous users. Invaluable source for fresh documentation.
[01:56] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: now what do we do?
[01:56] <jtd> can someone give me a hand with the Restricted Drivers Manager?  I installed from the server CD and apparently it's installed a "server kernel."  When I go to use the RDM it tells me I need to install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-server, which doesn't exist.

[01:56] <BoBothn> soulrider amidaniel vox754 ty all for your help. I am so stupid i could kick my self. i made the folder added the drive in fstab but forgot to mount the drive. the 204.7 gig was the room avalible on my root drive
[01:56] <jtd> can someone give me a hand with the Restricted Drivers Manager?  I installed from the server CD and apparently it's installed a "server kernel."

[01:56] <Mnabil> enzo_, off topic
[01:56] <jtd> oops.
[01:57] <jtd> didn't mean to do that.
[01:57] <Ubunnted> Folko: 'atop' seems to be very much like 'top'...
[01:57] <PriceChild> jtd, you have an ath? You never answered me
[01:57] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -P0
[01:57] <vox754> BoBothn, good. I guess you have a lot of space then, That is good.
[01:57] <self> Noone knows how to do 100% headless from install thru?
[01:57] <zerokill88> anyone know how or have a link to create your own custom gtk or metacity themes?
[01:57] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: okay. "nano -w /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common"
[01:57] <Folko> Ubunnted: With the difference that it displays programs by drive usage. You need to run it as root (sudo) and then wait a few seconds
[01:57] <jtd> yes.  I thought you meant that it was cut off at "I have an Ath"
[01:57] <zendo> Hi. Does someone knows of some progamming text editor, that has key bindings as Emacs, but that does'nt require learning new, separate programming language only for setting its features?
[01:57] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: Then use -P0 :)
[01:58] <PriceChild> jtd, what is an ath?
[01:58] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, so it would be nmap -P0 then ip?
[01:58] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: now ?
[01:58] <soulrider> BoBothn: LOL
[01:58] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: Right
[01:58] <kahrytan> Anyone know how to turn off Apache2 automatic start on startup?
[01:58] <elmoj> hi another time
[01:58] <jtd> Athlon.  I typed Athlon originally
[01:58] <jtd> 1.4 GHz Thunderbird.
[01:58] <jtd> it was getting cut off.
[01:58] <kazukisan> okay ive installed every stupid codec known and i still cant play avi files or .bin movies any suggestions, please tab my name if you speak to me.
[01:58] <jtd> but I can't see it getting cut off.
[01:58] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, ok just did that and now its doing something but its flashing hte curser lol
[01:58] <lethologica> Ok, so I am using System > Administration > Shared folders to share a folder. When I goto the unc path on a windows box (\\machinename\shareName) it prompts me for a user and pass,  I enter my ubuntu user and pass and it doesn't accept it. Any ideas?
[01:59] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: I could take a while, it's testing all ports in /etc/services
[01:59] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: remove the entries from DISABLED_MODULES, save with ctrl-O and close with ctrl-X
[01:59] <elmoj> vox754, i prove to put this: sudo -s
[01:59] <elmoj> sudo echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb?/?-?/bConfigurationValue on /etc/rc.local but nothing seems to happened... what's wrong?
[02:00] <keith4_> is there a net-bootable ubuntu installer?
[02:00] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, ok
[02:00] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: there is no entry like that all it says is GNU nan 2.0.2 file: / etc/default/ linux restricted etc. and thats all
[02:00] <jtd> PriceChild: do you know if what was originally in linux-k7 is included in linux-generic, or are you just pointing out the fact that my question got cut off?
[02:00] <vox754> elmoj, I'm not sure. Try browsing the forums for more information. I believe you have read the link of ubotu.
[02:00] <kazukisan> is anyone have trouble with lockups in fiesty?
[02:01] <kahrytan> Anyone know how to turn off Apache2 automatic start on startup?
[02:01] <netjunk1e> lethologica: check you PM
[02:01] <PriceChild> jtd, If you want help... then answer people's questions about your situation.
[02:01] <Ex-Cyber> zendo: there are a bunch of emacs-like editors that don't use elisp, but usually at the cost of configurability... the names that come to mind for me are mg and qemacs, but you might try searching for "emacs" in the package manager and enable searching in descriptions
[02:01] <vox754> jtd, why did you install from the server CD, they aren't mean to play movies and stuff.
[02:01] <DavidCraft> ls
[02:01] <kazukisan> okay ive installed every stupid codec known and i still cant play avi files or .bin movies any suggestions, please tab my name if you speak to me.
[02:01] <PriceChild> jtd, the -generic kernel loads optimisations on the fly - smp, athlon etc. etc.
[02:01] <DavidCraft> oops sorry
[02:01] <pliz> Hi guys! How do I choose which locale needs to be compiled by locale-gen? when I run dpkg-reconfigure it just recompiles what was there already
[02:01] <jtd> PriceChild: I did.  Three times.
[02:01] <elmoj> vox754, ok, i'll investigate and tell you the results; thanks
[02:01] <jtd> vox754: Because I wanted to keep the installation as minimal as I could originally
[02:01] <UnluckyMike> quick question what is the file that stores your apt-get history?
[02:01] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: nano -w /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[02:01] <PriceChild> jtd, please address me using my nick or I miss them and get annoyed and look silly :)
[02:02] <jtd> vox754: Why is there a -server kernel in the first place?
[02:02] <lethologica> netjunk1e, I don't see a PM
[02:02] <Folko> UnluckyMike: /var/log/dpkg.log
[02:02] <netjunk1e> lethologica: do you have samba installed on your ubuntu box?
[02:02] <UnluckyMike> Folko, thanks
[02:02] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: and do what to it?
[02:02] <lethologica> netjunk1e: Yes
[02:02] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: thats all it shows
[02:02] <vox754> jtd, I guess it is tailored for servers. You are supposed to use the normal desktop install. So well, maybe Ubuntu is not what you wanted.
[02:03] <Folko> Ubunnted: Any progress with atop?
[02:03] <kazukisan> okay ive installed every stupid codec known and i still cant play avi files or .bin movies any suggestions, please tab my name if you speak to me.
[02:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: let's start the xserver and the you can paste it in pastebin
[02:03] <PriceChild> vox754, it will have optimisations for those not using guis and using certain server apps I guess
[02:03] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: "/etc/init.d/gdm start"
[02:03] <tupa> kazukisan, what software are you trying to play videos?
[02:03] <jtd> "maybe Ubuntu is not what you wanted"
[02:03] <kazukisan> tupa: ive tried movie player, gxine, and vlc
[02:03] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: theres nothing to paste... nothings there
[02:03] <jtd> I've been using Ubuntu for 3 years
[02:03] <zendo> Ex-Cyber: I've searched package list already and as clones only "zile", "qemacs" and partialy "jed" appeared. "Zile" doesn't support syntax highlighting, "QEmacs" is out of development and has one nasty "bug" that returns the cursor at the begginig of the line when it encounters ";" or "("?
[02:04] <kahrytan> Anyone know how to turn off Apache2 automatic start on startup?
[02:04] <jtd> this -server kernel thing is new
[02:04] <IndyGunFreak> kazukisan: well, i'd guess you didn't install them correctly, if you still can't view avi's
[02:04] <vox754> jtd, you could have mentioned that earlier.. ha ha
[02:04] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: that's because you entered the name wrongly. nano -w linux-restricted-modules-common
[02:04] <PriceChild> jtd, it will have optimisations for those not using guis and using certain server apps I guess
[02:04] <tupa> kahrytan, probably removing the script on init?
[02:04] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, it finished but All 1697 scanned ports on ******** (*.*.*.*) are filtered
[02:04] <vox754> jtd, since which version you noted that, 7.04?
[02:04] <kahrytan> tupa: I moved on. I went to #apache
[02:04] <tupa> kazukisan, did you tried changing the driver in mplayer?
[02:04] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: Maybe the VPN uses UDP, that can't easily be scanned
[02:05] <kazukisan> tupa, let me try that
[02:05] <jtd> vox754: I think so.  I haven't installed a 6.10 server image so I can't speak to that, but I don't believe it was in 6.04
[02:05] <kahrytan> tupa: i think I found it
[02:05] <netjunk1e> lethologica: have you tried the guide at ubuntuguide.org for sharing with smb?
[02:05] <tupa> kahrytan did you know scripts in /etc/init.d start when booting up?
[02:06] <vox754> tupa, every single script, as root?
[02:06] <kazukisan> tupa, where do you change the driver with Totem Movie Player?
[02:06] <Elm0> sexyleute.de
[02:06] <royel> jtd: there was a 6.04 release?
[02:06] <Ex-Cyber> zendo: tried mg? it's kind of a "minimal emacs" clone... not sure whether it has syntax highlighting
[02:06] <madman91> where can i talk about the init modes.. maybe they are called process ID's ? (i.e. init 1 , init 2 , and so forth) .. ?
[02:06] <jtd> royel: whatever Dapper was
[02:06] <madman91> not talk.. sorry .. read
[02:06] <jtd> I've installed a server with Dapper
[02:06] <IndyGunFreak> kazukisan: in numerous ubuntu installs, codec installs,e tc, i've NEVER had to change the driver to make avi's work with various media players.
[02:06] <lethologica> netjunk1e: I didn't know one was there, I am looking it up now
[02:06] <jtd> not Edgy
[02:07] <vox754> !info linux-image-server dapper | jtd
[02:07] <ubotu> jtd: linux-image-server: Linux kernel image on Server Equipment.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.15.26 (dapper), package size 22 kB, installed size 52 kB
[02:07] <kahrytan> What is init.d?
[02:07] <howlingmadhowie> madman91: nope runlevels have nothing to do with pids :)
[02:07] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: im not on a root to type that
[02:07] <Ex-Cyber> zendo: oddly enough the package description for mg has a list of "editors with broadly similar goals"
[02:07] <madman91> howlingmadhowie: i need to read up then.. so next time someone enters i can tell them off :)
[02:07] <jtd> well, the restricted drivers manager is certainly new in Feisty
[02:07] <pablo-uy-mvd> hi who do i enable remote autologin in gdm (im using ubuntu 7.04). i need each terminal to autolog users binded to each terminal. can gdm do that? i guess mac addresses must be involved in the solution o r maybe kdm can do the work?
[02:07] <mikebot> Is there a way to `alt-tab' in ubuntu?
[02:07] <madman91> mikebot: alt-tab
[02:07] <PriceChild> mikebot, yes
[02:07] <Ex-Cyber> mikebot: exactly so
[02:07] <PriceChild> mikebot, hold alt, then press the tab key
[02:07] <kazukisan> IndyGunFreak, ? well whats your suggestions, ive installed w32codecs twice and all gstreamers twice and ubuntu restricted package, i even tried the xine packages
[02:07] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[02:07] <jtd> you used to have to go through a manual process to install nvidia
[02:08] <mikebot> In Battle for Wesnoth it doesn't work
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> kazukisan: something is missing obviously
[02:08] <mikebot> ANyone know how to do it form inside that game?
[02:08] <kazukisan> IndyGunFreak, well suggestions
[02:08] <Ex-Cyber> mikebot: is it running fullscreen?
[02:08] <vox754> kazukisan, reboot hahahahhaha
[02:08] <mikebot> Ex-Cyber: Yes
[02:08] <royel> mikebot: might try alt+enter, I can't say for sure, never played that game.
[02:08] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: try nano -w /etc/default/linux<tab>
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> kazukisan: well, you need to figure out which one you didn't install,
[02:08] <mikebot> royel: Thanks, I'll try that./

[02:09] <royel> mikebot: dont thank me yet :)
[02:09] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: or maybe better: sudo nano -w /etc/default/linux<tab>
[02:09] <tupa> kazukisan, in mplayer you do right click on the video window, and preferences, I dunno in totem
[02:09] <Ubunnted> I guess 'atop' needs a kernel patch for disk activity. I found 'baobab', so I'm trying this...
[02:09] <mikebot> royel: HEhe, OK
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> kazukisan: are you using Feisty?
[02:09] <kazukisan> IndyGunFreak, yes
[02:09] <Folko> Ubunnted: Did you run it as root?
[02:09] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: im not on a ubuntu type thingy
[02:09] <zendo> Ex-Cyber: Sorry "mg" somehow slipped from my attention, I'll check it's description in Synaptic right away...
[02:10] <tupa> kazukisan, change it to X11, if it doesn't work, probably you are missing a codec
[02:10] <lethologica> netjunk1e: Is there a graphical way to manage network users?
[02:10] <pablo-uy-mvd> hi who do i enable remote autologin in gdm (im using ubuntu 7.04). i need each terminal to autolog users binded to each terminal. can gdm do that? i guess mac addresses must be involved in the solution o r maybe kdm can do the work?
[02:10] <Ubunnted> Folko: I *think* (I never know when I'm REALLY root in Ubuntu), via 'sudo bash'.
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> tupa: there' s a possibility thats right i guess, but I've NEVER had to do that, and iv'e installed ubuntu and codecs more times than i can count
[02:10] <Folko> Ubunnted: You're root when the last character of your prompt is #, users have $
[02:10] <zendo> Ex-Cyber: thank you :)
[02:10] <royel> mikebot: I have a feeling it won't work
[02:10] <Ubunnted> Folko: That's what I thought. : )
[02:11] <kahrytan> tupa: #edit /etc/default/apache2 to change this.: NO_START=1 Hows that?
[02:11] <howlingmadhowie> Quinton__: i'm confused. you're not on ubuntu atm?
[02:11] <royel> mikebot: most games are not designed around window managers
[02:11] <PriceChild> Ubunnted, Folko there is never a reason to use a root terminal and I strongly advise you to /msg ubotu sudo, and follow its advice to use sudo
[02:11] <Ex-Cyber> zendo: I'm not sure mg meets your needs wrt syntax highlighting, I just remembered the name from when I ran OpenBSD where it's part of a standard install
[02:11] <kazukisan> IndyGunFreak, i dont see anything else i can install, so i have no clue what im missing, i did have gutsy on here and i did the same thing before and it was working okay
[02:11] <Quinton__> howlingmadhowie: no not that... just... like it wont enter what i type whats behind the cursor is blank

[02:12] <tupa> kahrytan, you do sudo nano /etc/default/apache2
[02:12] <Ubunnted> I don't think 'baobab' is what I thought it would be.
[02:12] <Ubunnted> It's cool though.
[02:12] <tupa> kahrytan and be careful on what you are doing, cuz sudo means root permissions in case you didn't know
[02:12] <netjunk1e> lethologica: look at the guide for SWAT on that site, i think it will work well for you
[02:12] <Folko> PriceChild: I didn't advice him to, just telling him that he needs to be root (through sudo) for atop
[02:12] <zendo> Ex-Cyber: well it's better that nothing. I've searched and till now found nothing (worth mentionning) except those stated above.
[02:12] <mikebot> royel: Dang
[02:12] <PriceChild> Folko, and that requires a full root terminal?
[02:12] <DmD> Hey, has anyone installed any EQ presets for xmms?

[02:13] <kahrytan> tupa: I know
[02:13] <ConfidentiaL> so, Im coming to my computer, my screensaver is on, and I move the mouse to write my password. But suddenly I cant get the keyboard to write in the textbox. I am currently in fullscreen console mode (Ctrl + Alt + F1), and I have tried killing both beryl and emerald processes, but with no luck. Do someone have any suggestions for me on how to fix it?
[02:13] <Folko> PriceChild: No, I said sudo atop, not sudo bash :) That was his idea
[02:13] <Ubunnted> PriceChild: It's bad?
[02:13] <kahrytan> tupa: Where you find that?
[02:13] <tupa> kahrytan find what?
[02:13] <Ubunnted> OH MY! I know it's bad now.
[02:13] <amidaniel> !yum
[02:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about yum - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:13] <amidaniel> hehe
[02:13] <kahrytan> tupa: that file.
[02:14] <Ubunnted> When four people start talking about you like a student driver after a 5 car pileup.
[02:14] <Folko> My problem seems to be only fixable by a reboot, can't reboot for a few days though :/
[02:15] <tupa> kahrytan, well, in /etc/default -_-
[02:15] <dcordes> !botsnack | amidaniel
[02:15] <ubotu> amidaniel: Yum! Err, I mean, APT!

[02:15] <mikebot> When I used Windows I used a LaTeX editor (LEd) which had a built in DVI viewer. Is there anything like that for ubuntu?
[02:15] <kahrytan> tupa: Why did you look there
[02:16] <kahrytan> tupa: http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o200/kahrytan/screenshots/?action=view&current=Screenshot-2.png
[02:16] <vox754> mikebot, use tetex or texlive2007, xdvi works pretty well
[02:17] <ConfidentiaL> I can't input to my "resume from screensaver" dialog. Could someone help me?
[02:17] <mikebot> VoX: What is xdvi?
[02:17] <royel> mikebot: latex is also available in the repositories I believe
[02:17] <lethologica> netjunk1e: SWAT is installed, when I goto http://localhost:901/ firefox says unable to connect
[02:17] <DmD> Hey, has anyone installed any EQ presets for xmms?
[02:17] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, how do i get it to scan all the ports not just 1627 of them
[02:17] <dcordes> maybe reinstall for screensaver issues
[02:17] <mikebot> royel: I'm looking for a nice editor too
[02:17] <dcordes> :D
[02:17] <dcordes> mikebot: nano
[02:17] <royel> mikebot: nano :)
[02:17] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: -p 1-65535
[02:18] <DmD> I have enabled 5.1 surround sound for alsa, but some mp3s sound a little weird..not sure why.
[02:18] <royel> mikebot: or your wanting something with syntax highlighting?
[02:18] <vox754> mikebot, a dvi previwer it is quite famous in the Unix world
[02:18] <yjj3019_> ???
[02:18] <mikebot> royel: Yeah, something with that and command hints
[02:18] <kahrytan> tupa: Like it?
[02:19] <sirjoebob> anyone know of a ubuntu-friendly program to convert videos to play nice with an ipod?
[02:19] <netjunk1e> lethologica: i will be back in a sec
[02:19] <kahrytan> sirjoebob: videohelp.com
[02:19] <royel> mikebot: well, I wouldn't reccomend it :) but there is always vim ;)
[02:19] <ConfidentiaL> ps ux
[02:19] <tupa> kahtrytan???
[02:19] <tupa> kahrytan, that's a firefox snapshot
[02:19] <Emperor886> Can someone help me install an updated graphics driver?
[02:19] <vox754> mikebot, you can use kile, or gedit or kate or vim and so. There are guides with more info in the forums. Kile seems like the best choice.
[02:20] <mikebot> royel: Actually, what is the most basic editor with a built in dvi viewer, and nothing else?
[02:20] <mikebot> VoX: Thanks.
[02:20] <kahrytan> tupa: No, it's my current desktop snapshop
[02:20] <sirjoebob> kahrytan: thanks, will check there
[02:20] <kahrytan> snapshot
[02:20] <royel> mikebot: have you tried latex?
[02:20] <Folko> Is there any way to force a disconnect of an USB device?
[02:20] <tupa> kahrytan, aha, yes, and what's the problem?
[02:20] <quasar8888> Is this the place for ubuntu newbies ?
[02:20] <tupa> quasar8888 welcome
[02:20] <mikebot> royel: latex?
[02:20] <wckdkl0wn> Folko, what about if he is using udp?
[02:21] <kahrytan> tupa: Just showing off
[02:21] <DmD> Would anyone know why my sound is a little off in xmms?
[02:21] <tupa> kahrytan, ooh ok, it seems like a nice theme :P
[02:21] <quasar8888> Hello all , I need help playing DVDs
[02:21] <royel> mikebot: I think apt-get install tetex-base
[02:21] <tupa> kahrytan did you changed it or is it the default?
[02:21] <vox754> mikebot, a built-in dvi viewer seems kind of strange. Just editing, compiling and previewing is not hard.
[02:21] <Folko> wckdkl0wn: Not sure what to do then. Most VPNs use UDP, but it's not really scannable because it's a connection-less protocol
[02:21] <Emperor886> Can someone please help me to install an updated graphics driver? I have it downloaded but I have no idea how to run it.
[02:21] <kahrytan> tupa: What is
[02:22] <mikebot> VoX: So what do you use?
[02:22] <Folko> Emperor886: Is it a .bin file?
[02:22] <netjunk1e> lethologica: a reboot fixed it for me,  apache needs to restart
[02:22] <kahrytan> tupa: I just change my desktop today
[02:22] <Emperor886> Folko: It is a .tar.gz
[02:22] <ConfidentiaL> What could prevent me from writing in the return from screensaver dialog?
[02:23] <Folko> Emperor886: Did you unpack it already?
[02:23] <tupa> kahrytan: theme is a Desktop look & feel, is English your native language?
[02:23] <mneptok> Emperor886: where did you get this?
[02:23] <Emperor886> Folko: Yes.
[02:23] <vox754> mikebot, I have installed "tetex-base" and "tetex-extra", I edit my files with "gedit", compile with the terminal, "latex file", and preview with "xdvi file".
[02:23] <Emperor886> Mneptok: Nvidia.com
[02:23] <Folko> Emperor886: Are there lots of files in it or just one?
[02:23] <mneptok> Emperor886: i would not install that unless absolutely necessary.
[02:23] <kahrytan> tupa: You are just confusing
[02:23] <Tamale> can someone knowledgeable with the ways fonts are rendered in linux help me?
[02:23] <mikebot> vox754: Ok, I'll do that..thanks.
[02:24] <ConfidentiaL> What could prevent me from writing in the "return from screensaver" dialog?
[02:24] <Emperor886> Folko: 14 files plus another folder.
[02:24] <mikebot> tetex-bin too, right?
[02:24] <tupa> kahrytan: thank you
[02:24] <mneptok> Emperor886: use the nVidia drivers provided by the package management system.
[02:24] <Emperor886> Mneptek: I have an Acer laptop, need to update the driver for it to stop freezing.
[02:24] <quasar8888> why can't I play DVD discs ?
[02:24] <vox754> mikebot, yes naturally. Search the packages with "aptitude search tetex"
[02:24] <`mac`> just wan a say hello,
[02:24] <mneptok> Emperor886: have you tried the nv driver?
[02:24] <jpowermacg4> hi mac
[02:24] <kahrytan> tupa: I'll clear it up. I change my ubuntu desktop to that new one - login, grub splash, gtk, and metacity.
[02:24] <Mortuis> How do I determine what version I am running on the command line?
[02:25] <`mac`> hello, jpowermacg4:
[02:25] <Emperor886> Mneptok: I don't know how to insall it, so no.
[02:25] <mneptok> Mortuis: uname-a && lsb_release
[02:25] <mikebot> VoX: Thanks.
[02:25] <vox754> `mac`, go to the off topic channel #ubuntu-offtopic , you can discuss all things there.
[02:25] <Mortuis> mneptok: Thanks

[02:27] <scottDkoDer> I'm having trouble with gcc finding any header files, even after setting the include path with the -I option.
[02:27] <mikebot> VoX: DO you know how ot make folders arrange objects so that instead of scrolling down you have to scroll to the right?
[02:27] <scottDkoDer> Any ideas??
[02:27] <scottDkoDer> g++ works fine, I'm just curious the proper code to use.
[02:27] <foug> hi, where do i find my system specs in ubuntu? i need to find out what kind of network card i have
[02:28] <mneptok> foug: lspci
[02:28] <tupa> shadhoe, I play tremulous
[02:28] <] RandoM[> anyway to add some extra nautilus integration so i can left click and 'enqueue in xmms' .. dragging stuff into the playlist can be kind of annoyying
[02:28] <vox754> scottDkoDer, currently there are people in #ubuntu-programming willing to talk, give it a shot there.
[02:28] <scottDkoDer> vox754: Ok, thx.
[02:28] <shadhoe> Im trying to get the wow ptr (2.2.0) to work under wine
[02:28] <foug> mneptok: k which one is my network card? lol, sorry ;x
[02:28] <vox754> mikebot, in nautilus? that is odd, I never thought of that.
[02:28] <shadhoe> the current version launches and runs fine
[02:29] <mneptok> foug: my crystal ball is in the shop for repairs, sorry ;)
[02:29] <foug> mneptok: aw crap
[02:29] <mikebot> VoX: Like in WIndows when you view as a list
[02:29] <shadhoe> but when I try to launch the wow ptr, wow appears to run, but the wow window never comes into focus and I cant switch to it
[02:29] <shadhoe> any ideas?
[02:29] <foug> shadhoe: that probably has something to do with WINE
[02:29] <foug> shadhoe: try running it in a virtual desktop, i think
[02:30] <shadhoe> foug, like vmware?
[02:30] <foug> shadhoe: no idea tbh i quit wow

[02:35] <gravemind> Wayfarer: sudo apt-get install gparted
[02:35] <d4rkmonkey> foug, hardware
[02:35] <netjunk1e> lethologica:  a samba config gui
[02:36] <Wayfarer> Gravemind, what?
[02:36] <foug> d4rkmonkey: o duh, thanks
[02:36] <d4rkmonkey> no problem foug
[02:36] <vox754> mikebot, you need to ask someone in your family... No. Seriously, you should know. Try "lspci -nv" and check the card.
[02:36] <gravemind> Wayfarer: paste that into the terminal
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> mikebot: open a terminal, "lspci" should output all yoru hardware, and show what kind of video device you have
[02:36] <gravemind> Wayfarer: it's a program that does partitioning
[02:36] <vox754> foug, "list hardware" probably
[02:36] <royel> Wayfarer: use the LiveCD, it has a utility named gparted which will help you.
[02:36] <royel> gravemind: I dont think he has ubuntu installed yet
[02:36] <mikebot> Just got this computer hehe it was the stock one
[02:36] <gravemind> royel: ah :)
[02:37] <Wayfarer> How do you talk in red?
[02:37] <Wayfarer> lmao, I feel sooooo left out
[02:37] <lethologica> netjunk1e: it looks like no gui tools for samba are installed
[02:37] <Wayfarer> Royel is right, I don't have Ubuntu install yet, i'm on Vista
[02:37] <m1r> infidel
[02:37] <mikebot> IndyGunFreak: Thanks.
[02:37] <d4rkmonkey> Hey, I'm trying to copy files somewhere and a bunch of them have a question mark in them (thats what sound-juicer saved them as) and whevenever it comes across the files, it gives me an error. How do I get around this error without having to manually remove the question marks from the file names?
[02:37] <IndyGunFreak> mikebot: no prob
[02:37] <vox754> Wayfarer, when you mention a nickname the irc client highlights it. You can customize a lot of colors in xchat.
[02:37] <mneptok> Wayfarer: do you have a drive to backpup data?
[02:38] <mneptok> *backup
[02:38] <drocko> howdy
[02:38] <gravemind> Wayfarer: here is a good guide on how to set up a dual boot. http://video.google.com/url?docid=-6104490811311898236&esrc=sr1&ev=v&q=dual%2Bboot%5D&srcurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2Fvideoplay%3Fdocid%3D-6104490811311898236&vidurl=%2Fvideoplay%3Fdocid%3D-6104490811311898236%26q%3Ddual%2Bboot%255D%26total%3D163%26start%3D0%26num%3D10%26so%3D0%26type%3Dsearch%26plindex%3D0&usg=AL29H23G8QSBU4IFt1z7MKIjtRgAk_CETw

[02:38] <gravemind> lol silly google
[02:38] <drocko> gravemind : get hibernate to work?
[02:38] <Wayfarer> gravemind:  I'll check that out, i'll be back shortly I bet, lol thanks

[02:38] <mikebot> vox754: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[02:38] <mneptok> Wayfarer: do you have a drive to backpup data?
[02:38] <gravemind> drocko: nope, even on a fresh boot it hangs
[02:38] <drocko> gravemind : oh snap. hm
[02:38] <netjunk1e> lethologica: i dont know another solution then
[02:39] <drocko> gravemind : same error?
[02:39] <mneptok> gravemind: how big is physical memory and swap?
[02:39] <lethologica> netjunk1e:: Is there a way to get any status on the components needed?
[02:39] <vox754> mikebot, that is useful info. Now browse the forums for more info.
[02:39] <Wayfarer> Mneptok, kinda, i backed up by data on my bros computer
[02:39] <IndyGunFreak> mikebot: what are you trying to do?
[02:39] <Wayfarer> brb. watching the video
[02:39] <gravemind> drocko: the message is "atkbd.c: Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. SOme program may be trying to access the hardware directly
[02:39] <gravemind> mneptok: big enough :)
[02:39] <netjunk1e> lethologica: componets???
[02:39] <vox754> IndyGunFreak, help him set his resolution
[02:39] <lethologica> netjunk1e: I can configure shared folders through system > administration > shared folders
[02:40] <mneptok> gravemind: so swap is > 2x physical?
[02:40] <ConfidentiaL> What could possibly make me unable to write in the "resume from screensaver" dialog? Please, someone...
[02:40] <Pici> ConfidentiaL: Running Gutsy?
[02:40] <mikebot> vox754: I was hoping t would be easier than that :) Thanks for your help
[02:40] <lethologica> netjunk1e: components meaning each package that may be needed
[02:40] <ConfidentiaL> Pici: Nope, feisty
[02:40] <gravemind> mneptok: no, they are the same. both are 1 GB
[02:40] <IndyGunFreak> mikebot: what res are you trying for?
[02:40] <gravemind> that should be enough
[02:40] <Pici> ConfidentiaL: Composite desktop then?
[02:40] <netjunk1e> lethologica: are both computers on the same workgroup?
[02:41] <mikebot> IndyGunFreak: I'm trying to install a driver for it so I can change my reslution.
[02:41] <mikebot> *resolution
[02:41] <mneptok> gravemind: when you hibernate, where do you expect RAM contents to go?  ;)
[02:41] <vox754> mikebot, It may be easy, I just don't have personal experience with Intel. It maybe a single command, or a single edition of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but I can't be sure.
[02:41] <ConfidentiaL> yes, beryl, but I tried killing both beryl and emerald...:/
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> mikebot: intel graphics drivers are pretty crappy for the most part.
[02:41] <Wayfarer> gravemind
[02:41] <lethologica> netjunk1e: They are connected together with a crossover cable
[02:41] <gravemind> mneptok: in the swap
[02:41] <mikebot> vox754: Oh, OK.
[02:41] <anubis_> love ubuntu
[02:41] <Testtube> how do you run ubuntu from just a cd rom?
[02:41] <gravemind> Wayfarer: I'm listening
[02:41] <Wayfarer> I already have Vista installed, so I can't tell vista to partition when it boots up,
[02:41] <mikebot> IndyGunFreak: Well I know the reso can be higher than what it currently is
[02:41] <carlos_> Hello all
[02:41] <anubis_> just wanted to put that out there;)
[02:41] <mneptok> gravemind: yeah. so swap should be a bit larger than physical
[02:41] <ConfidentiaL> Pici: yes, beryl, but I tried killing both beryl and emerald...:/
[02:41] <drocko> Testtube : put the cd in and boot from it
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> Testtube: burn it do a disk, and boot with the disk in your cd drive
[02:41] <Testtube> thats it?
[02:41] <mikebot> IndyGunFreak: But I can't make it higher from the prefs. menu
[02:41] <Pici> ConfidentiaL: I know theres a bug logged for Gutsy where a background application gains focus when the screensaver is on.  Try alt-tabbing.
[02:41] <vox754> !fixres > mikebot
[02:41] <Testtube> nice
[02:41] <Wayfarer> and HOW do  you make it red, damn't, typing in your name doesn't do it
[02:41] <netjunk1e> lethologica: workgroup is a software setting,  in Ubuntu it is on the shared folders setting you were in earlier under general properties
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> mikebot: whats the highest its allowed to go?
[02:42] <Testtube> is it command line only does it have a gui?
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> Testtube: depends on what version you download\
[02:42] <mikebot> 1280xsomething, I think 1024
[02:42] <] RandoM[> awesome, i found a nautilus script to enqueue files in xmms.. after some minor tweaking it does just what i want :)
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> server edition, is CLI
[02:42] <lethologica> It is set to MShome, I can ping each machine from the other
[02:42] <mneptok> Wayfarer: does your machine have minimal data on it now? (only apps and their settings and data?)
[02:42] <d4rkmonkey> Can anyone tell me exactly what rsync does? I looked in man and I couldn't quite fully understand
[02:42] <anubis_> ubuntu just gets better
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> Testtube: server edition is CLI, Ubuntu, Kubuntu,j and Xubuntu, are GUIs
[02:42] <mikebot> No, 1280x800
[02:42] <ConfidentiaL> Pici: already tried... Just seeing the windows flash in the background, and when the dialogs seems to have focus, I still can't input to it :/
[02:42] <drocko> d4rkmonkey : rsync is for syncronizing files between some places
[02:42] <AaronMT> Anyone know where to find decent ubuntu wallpaper?
[02:43] <Wayfarer> Unfortunetly not, its the family comptuer, it has alot of crap on it.  I can't unistall Vista
[02:43] <gravemind> Wayfarer: you tell ubuntu to partition it, that's what the video says I think
[02:43] <drocko> d4rkmonkey : it does it efficiently and only copies changed parts of files
[02:43] <mneptok> Wayfarer: not what i asked :)
[02:43] <kjm> AaronMT - gnome-look.org is good
[02:43] <d4rkmonkey> drocko, do you know how exactly I use it?
[02:43] <Pici> ConfidentiaL: You could try killing gnome-screensaving from a tty.
[02:43] <Pici> ConfidentiaL: er, gnome-screensaver
[02:43] <drocko> d4rkmonkey : what would you like to do?
[02:43] <Wayfarer> mneptok, sorry, what did you mean?
[02:43] <silvertip257> How to I resolve this error message that "beeps" the crap out of me || insmod: Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.26/modules.dep
[02:43] <d4rkmonkey> just sync a folder with something else, I'd imagine its something like rsync <source> <destination> or something like that
[02:43] <Wayfarer>  is this red?
[02:43] <mneptok> Wayfarer: can you remove music, movies, pictures, and other such data while you install Ubuntu?
[02:44] <ConfidentiaL> Pici: Ok, I didn't think of that:P I'll try that...
[02:44] <Twofclubs> when i open desktop effects i get the following error message "The Composite extension is not available" Could anyone please help me address this issue, help would be appreciated
[02:44] <Wayfarer> why do I need to?
[02:44] <astomper> !off-topic
[02:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about off-topic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:44] <Pici> Wayfarer: This channel is setup so that you cannot use color codes.
[02:44] <astomper> what is the off topic channel?
[02:44] <drocko> d4rkmonkey : yeah that is it right there
[02:44] <Pici> astomper: !ubuntu-offtopic
[02:44] <d4rkmonkey> ok thanks drocko
[02:44] <drocko> d4rkmonkey : the options i like are rsync -avz source destination
[02:44] <IndyGunFreak> !offtopic | astomper
[02:44] <ubotu> astomper: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:44] <astomper> Pici, thx
[02:44] <mneptok> Wayfarer: because if you can you can get a MUCH better dual-boot arrangement
[02:44] <Wayfarer> Pici so why does yours show up red?
[02:44] <d4rkmonkey> ok
[02:44] <gravemind> Wayfarer: nope. you're probably seeing when people type the name infront of the message. it highlights it for the recipient
[02:44] <drocko> d4rkmonkey : at the end of the manpage there are some examples
[02:44] <ulysses_> damn, why easytag has no more mp3 support on gutsy?
[02:44] <anandanbu> what is the channel for the GTK faqs
[02:45] <Wayfarer> welll... my hard drive is 500 GB's
[02:45] <Pici> Wayfarer: Because I prefixed this message with your name.
[02:45] <Pici> !tab | Wayfarer
[02:45] <ubotu> Wayfarer: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[02:45] <mneptok> ulysses_: #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy, please
[02:45] <ulysses_> mneptok: thanks
[02:45] <Confidentia1> Pici: Thanks, it worked. Now at desktop again :)
[02:45] <Wayfarer> okay okay, enough of the red, you can all hear me, you can all help me, lol, I'm set
[02:45] <gravemind> Wayfarer: you can partition the hdd with the ubuntu installer, just stay in the chat room and we can help you out if you have any problems
[02:45] <Wayfarer> Okay okay, so, Ubuntu
[02:46] <Wayfarer> when it starts installing
[02:46] <drocko> Wayfarer : i have heard of ubuntu
[02:46] <vox754> Wayfarer, when you mention a nickname the irc client of that person highlights in red. You can customize a lot of colors in xchat. In Settings > Advanced > Text Events
[02:46] <Wayfarer> and I get to the partition, it shows my two hard Drives
[02:46] <mneptok> !enter > Wayfarer
[02:46] <Wayfarer> both are 250 GB's
[02:46] <Wayfarer> Linux doesn't need 250 Gb in my opinion, I want to give it 50 or something, so how can I do that?
[02:46] <BadNewsBear> what are people's opinions of linuxant?
[02:47] <lethologica> Is there a GUI for apache configuration?
[02:47] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: as has been said several times, with Gparted.
[02:47] <vox754> BadNewsBear, wrong channel go to offtopic
[02:47] <BadNewsBear> opps sorry
[02:47] <drocko> lethologica : depends on what you want to do, but there is webmin. this might do what you want
[02:47] <Wayfarer> Gparted, does that need Ubuntu installed?
[02:47] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: no..
[02:47] <drocko> haha, though that is a bit funny; configuring apache via a website on the webserver
[02:47] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: its on the ubuntu live CD
[02:48] <wckdkl0wn> will k3b burn a .nrg file?
[02:48] <BadNewsBear> Wayfarer: no when you install ubuntu you can partion your drive so that it only has the 50 gigs you want on it
[02:48] <lethologica> drocko: I want something like IIS for windows, something where I can configure what files are mapped to a web path, what the authenitcation is etc
[02:48] <joules> so ive got a big problem .. i messed up my synaptic
[02:48] <joules> i made a deb from a .rpm
[02:48] <Wayfarer> How do i access Gparted
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: its part of the install process.
[02:49] <drocko> lethologica : you may be able to do this via webmin, i am not sure. personally i find configuring this via the command line to be much better, but check out webmin
[02:49] <Wayfarer> well then that;s an issue because it sin't doing what it should be doing
[02:49] <silvertip257> IndyGunFreak:  it doesn' t install on Feisty for some reason
[02:49] <drocko> joules : there is a program called alien that can do this
[02:49] <silvertip257> it's on the LiveCD, but not on the hdd when you finish installation
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> silvertip257: i know, he's on the live CD
[02:49] <joules> drocko: yeah thats what i used to make it
[02:50] <mk_ska238> whats a good virtuialization tool for ubuntu?
[02:50] <Wayfarer> okay okay, so when is GParted supposse to pop up?
[02:50] <drocko> joules : sorry misread. what was it what you wanted to do?
[02:50] <silvertip257> oh =) IndyGunFreak / Wayfarer ... srry
[02:50] <zerokill88_> whats the package for firefox to install flash player?
[02:50] <BadNewsBear> Wayfarer: when you install ubuntu, the installer runs gparted so you can partion your drive so that it only has the 50 gigs you want on it
[02:50] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: you'll know, it will give you an option to partition your drive, just partition how you want it.
[02:50] <joules> drocko:  the problem is .. that i made the deb then installed it then the update manager showed up and then it crashed
[02:50] <drocko> zerokill88_ : apt-cache search flash and look for it
[02:50] <lethologica> drocko: where do I get webmin?
[02:50] <Pici> zerokill88_: flashplayer-nonfree
[02:50] <Wayfarer> let me explain my problem, because either I am really stupid, or you don't get it
[02:50] <drocko> joules : what is the package. have you tried installing by just the command line?
[02:51] <Pici> !webmin | lethologica
[02:51] <ubotu> lethologica: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[02:51] <joules> drocko: Could not initialize the package information
[02:51] <joules> A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
[02:51] <joules> Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
[02:51] <joules> 'E:The package z600cups needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.'
[02:51] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: i suggest the former
[02:51] <mike> alsaconf does not exist?
[02:51] <joules> thats what it says
[02:51] <zerokill88_> pici i get this    Download done.
[02:51] <zerokill88_> md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[02:51] <zerokill88_> The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[02:51] <drocko> lethologica : try googling for it
[02:51] <Wayfarer> gun freak, you are probbaly right, lol
[02:51] <lethologica> Pici: What is a IIS from windows like tool for ubuntu?
[02:51] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: i'm sure i am
[02:51] <Wayfarer> when i get to the partition section of the Install for Ubuntu, it gives me three options
[02:51] <drocko> joules : sounds like that package is messed up. what is it you are trying to install?
[02:51] <IndyGunFreak> ok.
[02:51] <gravemind> choose manual
[02:51] <Wayfarer> Guided (Which then shows my two Harddrives, both 250 Gb) and then manual
[02:51] <Wayfarer> that is all
[02:52] <lethologica> drocko: I'd like to avoid using something that isn't supported
[02:52] <joules> drocko: as i said befor ei was trying to install a printer
[02:52] <Pici> lethologica: I dont know. I configure apache by hand.
[02:52] <BadNewsBear> Wayfarer: choose manual
[02:52] <gravemind> Wayfarer: choose manual, that gives you gparted
[02:52] <Wayfarer> Okay, so I choose manual
[02:52] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: well, guidded will kind of "auto partition a drive", choose manual, and you can do it manually
[02:52] <Pici> zerokill88_: I believe theres currently an issue with the md5sum.  I believe a bug is logged.
[02:52] <Wayfarer> and it gives me my two Hard Drives and that is it
[02:52] <joules> drocko:  a red hat package that i downloaded from the lexmark site
[02:52] <drocko> lethologica : understandable. i'm not sure what to suggest for you. sorry!
[02:52] <Wayfarer> so I can click the "new partition Button"
[02:52] <Wayfarer> Should I hit it?
[02:52] <Testtube> just out of curiosity where does ubuntu keep the configuration files for apache
[02:52] <drocko> joules : they do not offer anything else? like a tar.gz?
[02:52] <zerokill88_> pici how do i fix this or view the log.and why isnt it working right now
[02:53] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: i don't generally use gparted, but I'd say you're gonna have to follow the instructions.
[02:53] <gravemind> Wayfarer: yes
[02:53] <vox754> Wayfarer, the screen you see to partition IS Gparted.   Can you please take screenshots of the problem. You can upload them to imageshack.us
[02:53] <joules> drocko: is there any way i can actually just delete the package so that synaptic and updates work the way it used to?
[02:53] <`mac`> offopic helped alot thank you vox..
[02:53] <drocko> joules : ahhh, so you tried to install it once and now it is always queued?
[02:53] <Wayfarer> Yes yes yes, I can... hang on... *Grumbes about being an idiot... I thought i was a comptuer nerd...*
[02:53] <`mac`> have a great day
[02:53] <Wayfarer> I'll be back later, I'm trying again
[02:53] <Wayfarer> Thanks guys!
[02:53] <gravemind> Wayfarer: this is a completely blank hdd, right? in that case, you will need to make a new partition
[02:54] <joules> drocko: yeah it seemed to work .. or so i thought but it says that it cant find the archive... no idea
[02:54] <Wayfarer> bbs
[02:54] <Emperor886> Can someone help me install an updated graphics driver?
[02:54] <gravemind> lols
[02:54] <drocko> joules : yeah you have to remove it. comfortable doing it by the terminal?
[02:54] <gravemind> at least he's doing it on a blank disk
[02:54] <gravemind> I hope
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> gravemind: lol
[02:54] <joules> drocko: not really... do you know how to?
[02:54] <drocko> joules : dpkg --list | grep <package name>
[02:54] <dave_> quick question
[02:54] <drocko> joules : hell yeah i know how to :)
[02:55] <joules> drocko: sweet let me see if i can handle that
[02:55] <gravemind> IndyGunFreak: could you take a quick look at something, tell me what's going wrong? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31485/
[02:55] <drocko> joules : this is a piece of cake. that first command is to find the exact name of the package
[02:55] <IndyGunFreak> gravemind: sure
[02:55] <gravemind> thanks
[02:55] <dave_> im trying to put a PCI vid card in but its not popping up automatically with my PCI address, what is the PCI:x:x:x format for my vidc ard if it is listed as 02:0b.0
[02:55] <dave_> ?
[02:56] <IndyGunFreak> gravemind: sorry, i have no clue, never bothered setting up a joystick under Ubuntu, hell i've never set one up under any distro.
[02:56] <drocko> joules : did that command have any output?
[02:56] <gravemind> IndyGunFreak: the thing I'm confused by, is how "buttons" is an option, but it says "buttons" is not an option
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> gravemind: wierd..
[02:57] <lunis> Anyone heard of any problems with a Seagate FreeAgent external harddisk not automounting when you plug it in? It will show up when I boot Ubuntu with the drive plugged in, but if I unplug it and re-plug it, it doesn't automount. It is listed in the device manager as sg3 or some such, all properly.
[02:57] <kahrytan> Anyone know where I can find some GOOD usplash themes?
[02:57] <joules> drocko: yap iHR z600cups                                   1.0-2                                  CUPS printer driver for Lexmark Z600 printer
[02:57] <zerokill88_> i have flashplugin-nonfree files but where are they supposed to be?
[02:57] <gravemind> it's more of a bash problem than a gamepad problem
[02:57] <crimsun> zerokill88_: please rephrase
[02:57] <drocko> joules : ok, now try this command on for size. it will remove the package: sudo apt-get remove z600cups
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> gravemind: that it is, and i suck at bash
[02:57] <BadNewsBear> does ubuntu support some wireless cards naivetivly?
[02:58] <drocko> BadNewsBear : yes
[02:58] <lunis> zerokill88_: I had to uninstall it with synaptic and download from adobe.com and install. got an md5 matchup error, so it wouldn't install
[02:58] <FedoraFan12> Hi
[02:58] <Frogzoo> BadNewsBear: a lot of intels are good
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> BadNewsBear: yes, there's a few chipsets that work "out of the box"(Atheros, i think)(
[02:58] <Frogzoo> !hardware | BadNewsBear
[02:58] <ubotu> BadNewsBear: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[02:58] <teer2> Hey all - anyone frustrated that gnome-btdownload (default Bittorrent) only supports one download?  I have a quick fix for you.
[02:58] <BadNewsBear> k I think mine is based on atheros thanks
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> teer2: i have a quickfix to use Ktorrent.
[02:59] <BadNewsBear> Frogzoo: thanks
[02:59] <BaD_CrC> g'day folks
[02:59] <lunis> teer2: use multiple gnome-btdownloader windows?
[02:59] <FedoraFan12> wine+uTorrent=awesomenes
[02:59] <gravemind> BadNewsBear: atheros is one of the better ones.
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> FedoraFan12: thats a good option to.
[02:59] <teer2> lunis: Much easier.  A parameter was apparently set wrong in Feisty.  It's a quick fix.  Let me get you the info.
[02:59] <joules> drocko: Reading package lists... Done   <space>Building dependency tree       <space>Reading state information... Done <space>E: The package z600cups needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:00] <teer2> lunis: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-btdownload/+bug/57039
[03:00] <joules> drocko: thats what the terminal gave me
[03:00] <drocko> joules : sounds bad... let me figure out a new recipe
[03:00] <gravemind> hey what do you do in terminal when something is an option, but when you try it, it says that it's an invalid option?
[03:00] <gravemind> as illustrated here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31485/
[03:00] <teer2> Just set the max sessions in the Gnome Bittorrent client as high as you want.
[03:00] <M_A_K> Is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ 2.0Ghz  processor good enough for a basic ubuntu desktop?  We are not doing anything that requires a great deal of horsepower.
[03:00] <joules> drocko: yah i figured
[03:01] <Pici> M_A_K: More than enough.
[03:01] <clearzen> M_A_K: that is more than enough power. You will want at least 512MB of ram.
[03:01] <Tamale> can someone knowledgeable with the ways fonts are rendered in linux (and specifically feisty fawn ubuntu) help me?
[03:01] <gravemind> M_A_K: sounds like bragging to me :) it's more than enough processor-wise
[03:01] <M_A_K> Gonna put in 1GB ram/
[03:01] <gravemind> sounds like my setup
[03:01] <vox754> M_A_K, heck, send me your processor and I'll give you my 3000+
[03:02] <farshim> hi i have trouble setting up ad-hoc can anyone help?
[03:02] <M_A_K> I just dont want to outgrow it too soon.  I work for a school and don't get to spend money often.  I need 11 new computers so I want to make the best of it now.
[03:02] <IndyGunFreak> M_A_K: only thing I woudl suggest, is stick with the i386 version of Ubunt(32bit).. just cuz your processor is 64bit, doesnt mean you have to use 64bit
[03:02] <M_A_K> I was planning on 32bit.  I hear 64 bit is still too buggy
[03:02] <M_A_K> Thanks guys.
[03:02] <IndyGunFreak> M_A_K: well, it requires a lot of hoop jumping..
[03:02] <Pici> M_A_K: Not buggy, just missing support for proprietary stuff.
[03:03] <drocko> joules : you ready for another one? sudo dpkg --remove <packagename>
[03:03] <joules> drocko: yesir
[03:03] <drocko> joules the package name was like z600 something, right?
[03:03] <joules> z600cups
[03:03] <clearzen> IndyGunFreak: why would you use 64bit unless you have more than 4 gigs of ram?
[03:03] <drocko> joules : yea give that a try
[03:03] <IndyGunFreak> clearzen: you got me, but you should see people coming here that cry about 64bit probs.
[03:03] <Pici> Tamale: Go ahead and ask the question, and we'll see if we can help.
[03:04] <vox754> gravemind, what you typed -options is not actually a hyphen, but a dash will is slightly longer and non ASCII I think.
[03:04] <joules> drocko: :'(  terminal says "package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal"
[03:05] <drocko> joules : holy crap this is the package from hell
[03:05] <the_elite_freak> anyone use Xp/Vista's folder.jpg? Anyway to make Ubuntu do that for more than one folder?
[03:05] <joules> drocko:  and i made it:-D
[03:05] <vox754> clearzen, IndyGunFreak there are few 64-bit enthusiasts here. I've seen them. You war them if you say bad things about 64-bit.
[03:05] <IndyGunFreak> VoX: lol
[03:05] <IndyGunFreak> vox754: lol
[03:05] <the_elite_freak> no one using Ubuntu has pretty folders?
[03:05] <d4rkmonkey> Pretty folders?
[03:05] <clearzen> vox754: I tried to run it but the lack of flash support among other things scared me off quickly.
[03:06] <d4rkmonkey> default folders are plenty pretty.
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> vox754: 64bit is fine, but there's a fair amount of hoop jumping to get simple things(like flash) to work...
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> not worth the hassle in my opinion, and definitely not for the faint of heart
[03:06] <MRiGnS> I only have cute folders and some kinky ones
[03:06] <vox754> clearzen, IndyGunFreak those 64-bit enthusiasts say, "just run the 32-bit version"  and then they get angry so watch out.
[03:06] <the_elite_freak> lol I can't even get cute or kinky folders damnit
[03:06] <the_elite_freak> I got plain ubuntu folders...and thats worse than XP
[03:06] <IndyGunFreak> vox754: lol.. i think i can handle it.
[03:07] <the_elite_freak> even my xbox can read folder.jpg
[03:07] <Pici> the_elite_freak: Can you rephrase that.
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> the_elite_freak: what do you mean plain ubuntu folders?
[03:07] <d4rkmonkey> the_elite_freak, plain Ubuntu folders are fine?
[03:07] <drocko> joules : haha, well you can add a force option to this guy.
[03:07] <the_elite_freak> pici - rephrase what?
[03:07] <d4rkmonkey> the_elite_freak, why do you want special looking folders?
[03:07] <Pici> the_elite_freak: I dont think anyone here knows what you are talking about.
[03:07] <joules> drocko: fine lets do what it wants. installing it. problem is it wont let me install it through package installer... any way i can run the deb Soly from terminal
[03:07] <IndyGunFreak> the_elite_freak: rephrase, nobody knows what the heck your talking about
[03:07] <drocko> joules : this is a dangerous recipe i will give you, be careful. sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq <packagename>
[03:07] <the_elite_freak> cause it looks better and easier to navigate a movie folder if ya see the poster... music folders have cd covers.. .Alot better than this plain
[03:07] <julio14_> .jpg is no a FOLDER
[03:08] <CTho> do you guys use ctrl+alt+l to lock intead of windows_key + l just for some anti-MS geek reason, or some real usability reason?
[03:08] <MTecknology> how can I make it so I don't need to type a password when I connect to a server using sshfs?
[03:08] <the_elite_freak> julio if ya make a folder.jpg file in XP/Vista folders then the icon view will show that as a thumbnail
[03:08] <the_elite_freak> ubuntu can do it one at a time
[03:08] <clearzen> the_elite_freak: go to gnome-look.org they have a lot of icon themes
[03:08] <LDZ420> !cvs
[03:08] <ubotu> cvs is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system; it helps to manage releases and to control concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. See: https://www.cvshome.org/
[03:08] <gravemind> vox754: yeah, that's exactly it!
[03:08] <drocko> joules : the problem is that the rpm probably had some special stuff in it that didn't carry over well when you made the deb with alien. the install failed and will keep failing so we will kill it so it won't install
[03:08] <j85wilson> Hello there, friends.  If I have installed a new script (by hand) to /etc/init.d, and I want it to run upon startup, what do I need to do?
[03:08] <vox754> gravemind, what the hyphen? hoorah!
[03:08] <the_elite_freak> its not a theme though... its a way of making the icons show a thumbnail
[03:09] <clearzen> the_elite_freak: oh I see
[03:09] <gravemind> vox754: thanks. (I still can't figure out how to use the program though)
[03:09] <julio14_> mmm thanks for the info l have like 3 yeards without using windows
[03:09] <IndyGunFreak> gravemind: lol, get it working?.. what was the problem?
[03:09] <gravemind> IndyGunFreak: they were dashes, not hyphens
[03:09] <the_elite_freak> so far I can only see how to change the icon per folder...but there has to be a way it see's an icon
[03:09] <IndyGunFreak> gravemind: man that was a good catch, who caught that?
[03:09] <gravemind> IndyGunFreak: vox did
[03:09] <IndyGunFreak> i'd have looked at that for a month and not caught it...lol
[03:10] <dimas_> does anyone uses xawtv?
[03:10] <joules> drocko: yap it makes sense but i dont know if this "killer recipe" is working... "dpkg: need an action option" and then it gave me a bunch of options
[03:10] <IndyGunFreak> dimas_: i have, ... TVTime is better though
[03:10] <gravemind> vox754: I'm trying to get my gamepad to act like a mouse, but I think I'm going about it the wrong way
[03:10] <drocko> joules : add a remove between the command and the package name
[03:11] <dimas_> indygunfreak hello, you see the thing is that i would like to record video from it and only recorded a picture
[03:11] <jrotberg> hey guys is there a way for me to enable xdcmp over ssh?
[03:11] <superBAHM> I just bought a computer pre-loaded with Ubuntu and I want to take my old computer's 80gb hard drive (winxp) and move it in there, how difficult will this be?
[03:11] <fevel> how do I install new fonts in ttf format??
[03:11] <IndyGunFreak> dimas_: sorry, no i didn't, but i've never messed with the record feature, and i use VLC for TV now, so i couldn't tell you the prob.
[03:12] <taime1_> superBAHM: you still want windows to load?
[03:12] <gravemind> superBAHM: replacing the original, or adding it to the whole thing
[03:12] <superBAHM> Can I install GRUB post-humously.
[03:12] <ziroday> superBAHM: ive done it, its not that hard if you know what to do
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> vox754: what kidn of card?
[03:12] <ziroday> superBAHM: no but you have to edit it
[03:12] <gravemind> superBAHM: try the super grub disk
[03:12] <mzuverink> Anyone here familiar with the process of buying a domain? (sorry if this is off topic and offends anyone..)
[03:12] <superBAHM> taimel, Ideally, but I'll settle for just being able to access it.
[03:12] <dimas_> indygubfreak thank you anyway friend
[03:12] <vox754> IndyGunFreak, crappy chinese Encore ENLTV-FM, with saa7130/4 chipset
[03:12] <Jack_Sparrow> superBAHM: If you are expecting to have a working XP that is a problem without a reinstall of xp
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> vox754: hmm, TVTime doesn't support that chipset?
[03:12] <taime1_> superBAHM: windows wont boot once its original installation cinfuguration is altered
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> superBAHM: Accessing the files/data is no problem
[03:13] <Pici> !windows
[03:13] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[03:13] <fevel> is it possible to add new fonts in  ubuntu...when I click ttf fonts gnome opens a dialog...but it doesnt appear to install
[03:13] <taime1_> superBAHM: its a security feature... but you will have access to all the files on that disc through linux
[03:13] <superBAHM> Oh okay, well, I'll settle for just being able to access it.  If I install it can I just have ubuntu find it and then mnt it?
[03:13] <IndyGunFreak> lol, mental health institute...
[03:13] <ziroday> superBAHM: yes
[03:13] <taime1_> superBAHM:  it will autodetect it, yes
[03:13] <Tamale> Pici:  I want my fonts to look like they did in edgy
[03:13] <superBAHM> Okay, cool.
[03:14] <vox754> IndyGunFreak, this is something very strange I haven't resolved yet. I guess it conflicts also with the video card I use which has IRQ problems and doesn't support 3D, which is a VIA card. It is complicated.
[03:14] <drocko> joules : you still with me?
[03:14] <dimas_> hello, hello i am testing my microphone is there anybodyable to hear me?
[03:14] <joules> drocko:  sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq remove z600cups
[03:14] <joules> dpkg: need an action option
[03:14] <joules>  that didnt work
[03:14] <gravemind> lol
[03:14] <IndyGunFreak> vox754: sounds it..lol
[03:14] <the_elite_freak> wow, not so easy in ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1319473&postcount=1 is about the only solution so far
[03:14] <BadNewsBear> lol
[03:14] <superBAHM> I hate Windows.  :/  I'm completely rid of it now, it completely sits on a little 80 gig hard drive on my futon.  :)
[03:14] <drocko> joules : ok let me figure something out
[03:14] <superBAHM> Well, not completely I guess.
[03:14] <quinton_> howlingmadhowie: sorry... I couldnt take it lol... to much failure makes me angry... but! im back.
[03:15] <g2g591> Ubuntu is much easier to use than windows, and faster
[03:15] <taime1_> Tamale: ubuntuguide has a great little tutorial for improving subpixel font rendering
[03:15] <g2g591> its nice and easy on my 512Mb of ram
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> g2g591: its not easier at first, simply because you have to unlearn the windows way of doing things.  Once you learn the Linux way though, its probably just as easy as Windows.
[03:16] <BaD_CrC> is there a way to tell what repository an installed package came from?
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> definitely faster, more stable though
[03:16] <drocko> joules : change the remove to --remove
[03:16] <superBAHM> I don't think Ubuntu is easier than Windows, in fact in a lot of ways I think your average user would find it infuriating but its making leaps and bounds and I sure as hell like it better than Windows.
[03:16] <j85wilson> kk, nvm folks, I got my question figured out:  sudo update-rc.d foo-script defaults done the trick.
[03:16] <taime1_> IndyGunFreak: i  think you NAILED when you said "unlearn windows" as opposed to learning linux!
[03:16] <j85wilson> thanks anyway!
[03:16] <j85wilson> bye now.
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> taime1_: yup..
[03:17] <raf256> IndyGunFreak: yeah its hard at first
[03:17] <g2g591> it was sorta easy unlearning windows for me anyway
[03:17] <biggahed> so, i updated the menu.lst file and the changes wont apear in the boot screen. What could be wrong?
[03:17] <gravemind> it's not unlearning windows, it's just getting used to doing things the linux way
[03:17] <BaD_CrC> os/2 was good for its time
[03:17] <BadNewsBear> very
[03:17] <Wayfarer> I'M BACK
[03:17] <IndyGunFreak> g2g591: i guess it depends on how long you've been a windows user, I'm almost 28, and i've been using PC's since i was about 14...
[03:18] <Emperor> Hello wayfarer. :)
[03:18] <Wayfarer> Yeah, sorry for my appearance, i tried something and it didn't work
[03:18] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: i had 4-1 odds you were gonna screw something up... did i win?
[03:18] <joules> drocko: Removing z600cups ...    /var/lib/dpkg/info/z600cups.postrm: 2: /etc/init.d/cups: not found     dpkg: error processing z600cups (--remove):  subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing:    z600cups
[03:18] <nickrud> fevel, BaD_CrC  apt-cache policy
[03:18] <Wayfarer> well, lmao I didn't screw anything up, nothing worked though
[03:18] <BadNewsBear> stale mate
[03:18] <IndyGunFreak> what didn't work?
[03:18] <g2g591> im 15 and used pcs from age 5
[03:19] <dimas_> i used to wear cotton undies and now a switched to lycra...more confie though
[03:19] <IndyGunFreak> g2g591: well, you're still young..., if you were a bit older, trying to reprogram yourself to use a new OS, would probably be more difficult.
[03:19] <Wayfarer> I used Window's Management to partition my harddrive, by Linux still thought I just had 2 250Gb drives
[03:19] <taime1_> wow, ive been using pc my whole life
[03:19] <rayvd> i have been using pc's since before the womb
[03:19] <rayvd> SO THERE
[03:19] <nickrud> I'm 51 and used computers since I was 24 :)
[03:19] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[03:19] <BadNewsBear> pwnt
[03:19] <vox754> gravemind, I'm sure you'll find some guide about the game pad thing in the forums.
[03:19] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: boy linux must have been quite a curve for you..lol
[03:19] <wckdkl0wn> does nmap put the ports in the terminal so i can see them or does it output them to a file?
[03:20] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: ok, so its showing you have 2, 250gig drives?
[03:20] <Jack_Sparrow> I was a paid programmed in '79
[03:20] <BaD_CrC> woot
[03:20] <IndyGunFreak> but you only have 1?
[03:20] <Wayfarer> Yep,
[03:20] <julio14_> nickrud:do you used glasses?
[03:20] <julio14_> :)
[03:20] <superBAHM> 51 is more than half way dead.
[03:20] <Wayfarer> No no, I have 2 total
[03:20] <nickrud> IndyGunFreak, nah, I started programming in forth, and used minux in the 80's. I fell right in
[03:20] <taime1_> superBAHM!
[03:20] <BaD_CrC> back in my day when we only used COBOL and ASSEMBLY.....
[03:20] <Twofclubs> I was wondering if someone could explain the following error i get when i open desktop effects "The Composite extension is not available" i would really appreciate some help
[03:20] <superBAHM> lol!
[03:20] <BaD_CrC> blah
[03:20] <nickrud> julio14_, now
[03:20] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: awesome.
[03:20] <BaD_CrC> old people
[03:20] <biggahed> Hello there. i updated the menu.lst file and the changes wont appear in the boot screen. What could be wrong?
[03:20] <Wayfarer> it recognizes them, that's all good
[03:20] <vox754> Wayfarer, remember to take pictures
[03:20] <g2g591> im gonna work on installing a lexmark printer, had it installed once, it was a nightmare
[03:20] <Wayfarer> I thought about that,
[03:20] <taime1_> manners....
[03:20] <taime1_> haha
[03:20] <Pici> !offtopic
[03:20] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:20] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: ok, i'm quitting my poker game to help you, so this better be complicated
[03:20] <Wayfarer> I wrote stuff down, hopefully it will be enough
[03:21] <Wayfarer> I am familiarizing myself well with the "instal" page
[03:21] <Wayfarer> Thank you IndyGunFreak
[03:21] <kjm> lexmark = wanker linux support
[03:21] <Wayfarer> This is what I have:
[03:21] <joules> drocko: whats the --purge command for?
[03:21] <Wayfarer> a dell comptuer, 2 250GB hard drives and windows Vista
[03:21] <dimas_> does anyone knows about xawtv?
[03:21] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: i just want to make sure i understand, 2, 250gig drives, and you want to partition one of the drives, 50gigs for Linux, rest still Windows.. right?
[03:21] <taime1_> joukles: removes depoendencies and config files
[03:21] <gravemind> how do I kill zombies?
[03:22] <Wayfarer> I want Linux on a 50Gb partition
[03:22] <Wayfarer> Perfect
[03:22] <Wayfarer> You got it
[03:22] <taime1_> joules*
[03:22] <Wayfarer> Do you have AIM?
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> ok.
[03:22] <nickrud> gravemind, kill the process that spawned the zombie
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: yes.. i'm on now.. IndyGunFreak
[03:22] <joules> taime1_: ???
[03:22] <Wayfarer> Good, Let me the the Ubuntu CD up  and running, and I'll pop on my account, so we can talk over AIM
[03:22] <gravemind> nickrud: and if that process is wine? how do I find its pid?
[03:22] <Wayfarer> sound good?
[03:22] <taime1_> joules: sorry, i answered but mispelled your name
[03:22] <IndyGunFreak> Wayfarer: thats fine.
[03:22] <nickrud> gravemind, ps -aux
[03:22] <Wayfarer> bye
[03:23] <taime1_> joules: it removes dependencies and config files for that package
[03:23] <joules> taime1_: gotcha thanks
[03:23] <nickrud> gravemind, htop is really nice for seeing the process tree
[03:23] <osxdude|down> hai...Is it okay to write the live/alternate to a DVD-R(W) instead of a normal CD-R(W)
[03:23] <wckdkl0wn> how would u use nmap to scan the host ip for udp ports and to where it works around nortons firewall?
[03:23] <Twofclubs> Could someone please help me remedy the following error when i open desktop effects "The Composite extension is not available" im new to ubuntu an could really use some help ty
[03:23] <dimas_> does huge package strippers runs good on ubuntu?
[03:24] <gravemind> nickrud: I'll try it. I can't find wine in ps -aux
[03:24] <osxdude|down> gravemind: pidof wine
[03:24] <vox754> gravemind, "ps -aux | grep wine"  maybe you killed it already
[03:24] <w30> Twofclubs, perhaps you don't have a 3d driver installed or you card can't do 3d.
[03:25] <kjm> osxdude - the disc image is for a cd, so I don't know if that'll work.
[03:25] <gravemind> well there's this damn installshield screen that won't go away lol so I haven't killed enough things yet
[03:25] <taime1_> lol
[03:25] <nickrud> gravemind, did you run it from a terminal? if so, kill that terminal
[03:26] <gravemind> no, I just double clicked on the install file
[03:26] <w30> Twofclubs, what video card is in  your box?
[03:26] <wckdkl0wn> how would u use nmap to scan the host ip for udp ports and to where it works around nortons firewall?
[03:26] <gravemind> I wish I had done it that way though :\
[03:26] <CTho> how does apache decide what content-type to send for, say, .diff files?
[03:26] <km-> hi, I'm trying to upgrade edgy to feisty on a server, and I'm getting this:
[03:26] <km-> current dist not found in meta-release file
[03:26] <km-> No new release found
[03:27] <Twofclubs> w30:  it's a mobility radeon 9600...i installed the drivers for it today http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31488/
[03:27] <gravemind> I'll just restart gnome...
[03:27] <km-> is there a simple fix for this?   I see bug reports for a similar problem in update-manager but nothing for do-release-upgrade
[03:28] <levander`> Has anyone tried any of the cookbook (e.g., recipe collection) software?  I just tried gourmet and krecipes and wasn't that happy.
[03:28] <kjm> .
[03:28] <teer2> levander`: lol
[03:28] <levander`> teer2: what?
[03:28] <biggahed> Hello there. i updated the menu.lst file and the changes wont appear in the boot screen. What could be wrong?
[03:28] <teer2> levander`: the Linux HOWTO on cooking didn't work out too well for you?
[03:28] <superBAHM> levander, If you find a good one let me know.  There's a firefox plugin for grocery lists and recipes.
[03:29] <ziroday> biggahed: did yuo save?
[03:29] <levander`> biggahed: you have to run /sbin/grub-update or something like that
[03:29] <BaD_CrC> biggahed: sudo grub-update
[03:29] <taime1_> biggahead: how did you edit that file?
[03:29] <levander`> superBAHM: Have you tried that one?
[03:29] <km-> ah well, I'll just dist-upgrade
[03:29] <w30> Twofclubs, what distribution are you installing on?
[03:29] <Twofclubs> feisty
[03:29] <superBAHM> levander, Yeah, its more for grocery lists but it seems okay.
[03:29] <biggahed> ive never needed to run that to make it apear in there
[03:29] <biggahed> yes, i did save
[03:30] <biggahed> but let me try
[03:30] <teer2> levander`: It's funny because the operating system my cooking class recommended wasn't very good either.  ;o)  Okay, I'll go now.
[03:30] <superBAHM> I would love to have a recipe program where you could pick your recipes for the week and then it would spit out a grocery list for you.
[03:30] <w30> What shows up when you go to
[03:30] <dave_> how do i write 02:0b.0 into an xorg.conf file?
[03:31] <Twofclubs> w30: i downloaded and installed 7.04 today
[03:31] <levander> superBAHM: gourmet is the better than krecipes, but gourmet is buggy.  If the gourmet programmer can work out the kinks, gourmet will be awesome.  gourmet is also younger it seems than krecipes, but does have active development going on
[03:31] <n2diy> superBAHM: There are websites that will do that for you.
[03:31] <BadNewsBear> superBAHM: I thought at first you said you knew of one like that and I was going to say GIMME GIMME
[03:31] <dave_> PCI:2:0b:0 ?
[03:31] <dave_> or what
[03:31] <superBAHM> Its really obnoxious how everything in KDE has to start with K.
[03:31] <ryan__> Ok, dumb question about konqueror.  One of the actions with audiocd:/ is to rip CDA files.   However, nothing seems to want to play them, and I'd like to burn them back onto CDs, but k3b doesn't seem to play well.
[03:31] <superBAHM> Web sites, pfft.

[03:31] <dave_> Pichu0102:0b.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] 
[03:31] <superBAHM> I can't have web sites knowing my secret recipes.
[03:31] <superBAHM> I'll have to encrypt all my recipes.
[03:31] <dave_> Pichu0102:0b.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] 
[03:31] <BadNewsBear> closed source recipes
[03:31] <dave_> weird
[03:32] <dave_> keeps adding pichu to my text
[03:32] <levander> superBAHM: What letter would you like them to start with?
[03:32] <superBAHM> Not GPL.
[03:32] <Twofclubs> w30: ATI accelerated graphics driver enabled is checked and status is in use
[03:32] <n2diy> BadNewsBear: :)
[03:32] <biggahed> theres no grub-update
[03:32] <dave_> anyways how do i get that into my xorg.conf?
[03:32] <superBAHM> levander, I don't think they should be inhibited by a single letter.
[03:32] <mzuverink> Anyone use dyndns?  Ive got a major question?
[03:32] <levander> superBAHM: There are web sites that let you store recipes?  I"ve seen some poorly written ones, not one well written.
[03:32] <pawan> hi
[03:32] <levander> mzuverink: just ask
[03:32] <nickrud> biggahed, update-grub
[03:33] <superBAHM> I hope this conversation inspires some young programmer to write a good recipe software.
[03:33] <superBAHM> nickrud, Maybe you?
[03:33] <nickrud> superBAHM, I stopped real programming 20 years ago
[03:33] <levander> superBAHM: There's a good commercial one that's pretty cheap on dvo.com - but it's Windows only, and the dvo guy himself seems annoying
[03:34] <w30> Twofclubs, Have  you installed beryl or Compiz?
[03:34] <dave_> is PCI:2:b:0 acceptable?
[03:34] <dave_> anyone?
[03:34] <Twofclubs> w30: i don't know is there any way to check
[03:34] <mzuverink> if you buy a dns from dyndns, its $15 for the domain, then they add 24.95 for custom dny for one year, whats that custom dns, them publishing your whereabouts?
[03:34] <superBAHM> I stopped listening to your text after "windows" followed "commercial" ...
[03:34] <nayden> is there bugzilla for ubuntu? opera is core dumping and I want to find out if this is already known issue. I don't seem to find a bugzilla link on the support site.
[03:34] <levander> superBAHM: Yeah, I've just been so frustrated trying to find a good solution, I actually looked at doing it that way...
[03:34] <BadNewsBear> n2diy: I have to give credit, the documentary called "The Code" about linux they start off with an analogy of recipes=>code
[03:35] <nickrud> Twofclubs, you need to run a different X server for an ati card to enable the fancy effects

[03:36] <n2diy> BadNewsBear: Can't do videos here, yet. Have an article maybe?
[03:36] <superBAHM> There's a linux documentary?
[03:36] <levander> superBAHM: gourmet has a really great feature, where like if you see a recipe online in a browser, you can drag and drop the ingredient list onto a "new recipe" window, it parses the text and "tries" to fill in the ingredient list for you.  It's guesses aren't 100%, but you can edit it and get your ingredient list in pretty quickly.

[03:39] <lashmoov2> im using pidgin
[03:39] <jeff_> Could someone please explain to me how to install the ati drivers on 7.0.4 I have tried and tried again but when I run the fglrxinfo command I still get that its using MESA? Im using the driver from ati and not the open source one
[03:39] <levander> lashmoov2: it also supports IM protocols
[03:39] <taime1_> lashmoov2: then whats the question?
[03:39] <nickrud> pawan, it's for the same stuff one uses any os for
[03:40] <w30> Twofclubs, try compiz command
[03:40] <n2diy> BadNewsBear: I wish I had an hour or two to configure video here, but I have to leave in a couple of minutes.
[03:40] <lashmoov2> im looking for something with bling, that has features like web cam support, and other nice things that yahoo, msn IM have
[03:40] <BadNewsBear> what are you running?
[03:40] <pawan> what is the use of that stuff
[03:40] <w30> Twigathy, compiz is  a wrapper that calls compiz..real
[03:41] <levander> lashmoov2: pidgin doesn't do webcams?

[03:41] <jeff_> x700 pro
[03:41] <joules> levander: what if that doesnt work because the package is in "a very bad inconsistent state"
[03:41] <lashmoov2> levander:nope
[03:41] <kidicarus74> hi all... have a question about ubuntu installation: i'm using an Abit mother board w/ 2 SATA disks in RAID 0, but the installer won't recognize the array
[03:41] <taime1_> pawan: you are asking redundant questions, if you are here, you obviously know enough about operating systems to know what they are used for
[03:41] <n2diy> BadNewsBear: Dual PIIs at 333mhz, with a plain jane video card.
[03:41] <BadNewsBear> :)
[03:41] <levander> joules: then put it in a consistent state.
[03:41] <lashmoov2> levander:pidgin is just an IM client that jumps on other networks
[03:41] <levander> lashmoov2: Yeah, so?
[03:42] <BadNewsBear> n2diy: 1995 called, they want their hardware back
[03:42] <BadNewsBear> ;)
[03:42] <taime1_> pidgin does SO do webcams
[03:42] <Ruger1> Xubuntu: How do I get it to recognize my monitor? It only gives me 640 & 800.. The monitor does 1680 or so.
[03:42] <n2diy> BadNewsBear: :) And 256 megs of ram, I think I am video challenged?
[03:42] <pawan> as a general what is the use of any software or os
[03:42] <clearzen> taime1_: lol
[03:42] <lashmoov2> levander:so, I was wondering if there was a IM network, that was aimed towards linux users
[03:42] <joules> levander: sounds simple but how do i go about doing that
[03:42] <BadNewsBear> n2diy: possibly
[03:42] <thugren> Hey can anyone help me with this wireless system? I have finely got it to show the wireless router but I can't get it to do an IP or get it to work?
[03:42] <levander> talisein: I think lashmoov2 is just complaining pidgin doesn't have enough marketing behind their product to make him think it is cool.
[03:42] <taime1_> lashmoov2: yes, aim, yahoo, msn etc....
[03:43] <n2diy> BadNewsBear: For a hundred bucks, including the monitor and keyboard, I'm happy.
[03:43] <clearzen> thugren: what kind of encryption are you using?
[03:43] <Ruger1> Anyone? How do I use wide-screen resolution on Xubuntu?
[03:43] <clearzen> thugren: and what kind of card? aka the chipset
[03:43] <lashmoov2> levander:no, I use pidgin at home, and atwork, on linux and on XP, but its not using a windows native network
[03:43] <levander> joules: I actually thought I was replying to lashmoov2, but if my answer was relevant to you above, you could try removing and then reinstalling the package?
[03:43] <thugren> Right now nothing? I was have a problem so I don't have it locked yet//
[03:44] <BadNewsBear> n2diy: you payed for the monitor
[03:44] <BadNewsBear> nothing else
[03:44] <thugren> I am using a Prism card
[03:44] <BadNewsBear> alright I'm out
[03:44] <levander> lashmoov2: Why do you can if it uses a "windows native network" - whatever you mean by that.
[03:44] <clearzen> thugren: Then what kind of card are you using?
[03:44] <BadNewsBear> good night
[03:44] <n2diy> BadNewsBear: No, it was included with the box.
[03:44] <taime1_> ruger1: you need to reconfigure x and select different resolutions
[03:44] <Ruger1> Hwo do I redconficutre
[03:44] <Ruger1> How do I reconfigure?
[03:44] <levander> Ruger1: reconfigure what?
[03:44] <thugren> Some It's a IBM no knock off?
[03:44] <levander> Ruger1: oh
[03:44] <Ruger1> Whatever he told me to.
[03:45] <levander> Ruger1: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"

[03:45] <taime1_> haha
[03:45] <n2diy> BadNewsBear: Gotta go, CUL
[03:45] <Ruger1> That will let me change the resolutin? Okay, thanks.
[03:45] <kidicarus74> anyone? RAID 0 on installation?
[03:45] <Ruger1> Does it have to be connected to the internet to do that?
[03:45] <thugren> I can get it to see the router now.
[03:45] <Ruger1> Andt hank you.
[03:45] <levander> Ruger1: you can also use xrandr I believe to change your resolution
[03:45] <taime1_> PEOPLE: please stop answering pawan, i mean who uses irc without knowing SOMETHING about OSes??
[03:45] <lashmoov2> levander: because.. using a network that was built for another os, means I can't use all the features the native program uses
[03:46] <thugren> It just can't do anything like getting a IP address.
[03:46] <BadNewsBear> n2diy: same cul
[03:46] <clearzen> thugren: alright could you post the contents of /etc/network/interfaces to pastebin
[03:46] <biggahed> so.. update-grub didnt work
[03:46] <w30> Twofclubs, check and see if you have compiz-gtk and compiz-plugins nstalled,  Compiz needs them. look for green buttons in synaptic
[03:46] <LordArtemis> can anyone help me with this problem? http://img341.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0255tt2.jpg
[03:47] <levander> lashmoov2: Not true.  The "network" things you are talking about are really called "protocols".  Protocols are ways of talking to each other.  If the protocol "implementation" supports all the features of the protocol, regardless of operating system, then you can use all the features.
[03:47] <taime1_> LordArtemis: is that a livecd?
[03:47] <g2g591> for some reason my live cd installer can't fit all the way on the screen
[03:47] <Twofclubs> w30: alright i'll get on it
[03:47] <LordArtemis> Yeah it's the livecd installer
[03:47] <levander> lashmoov2: It's how we've got the internet, all these different computers running different operating systems all use the same "protocols", so they can all talk to each other.
[03:47] <Ruger1> OK I typed in the command./ Which do I select from the list?
[03:47] <g2g591> yeah, it needs to be fixed
[03:47] <taime1_> LordArtemis: not enough memory... dont know WHY it does that, but i know that is the cause

[03:48] <levander> joules: "sudo apt-get remove <--purge> [package-name] "
[03:48] <joules> since my package managers are jammed even through terminal
[03:48] <g2g591> you can still install using the live cd if you if you use the tab button and arrow keys and a little luck
[03:48] <LordArtemis> ugh, downloads... thanks, I'll give that a try.

[03:53] <nickrud> joules, put the complete error on a pastebin
[03:53] <levander> [ir] crAig: the first thing you have to make sure is that the PSU supports the "form factor" of the motherboard.  The most common form factors going right now are, I believe, microATX and ATXV2.

[03:54] <levander> [ir] crAig: Then, you have to make sure that the PSU supplies enough power, on each of the voltages (12V being the only one people really worry about I believe) to power your motherboard and all your computer components.

[03:54] <Ruger1> It still wants me to pick from Vesa, VGA, Trident, etc...
[03:54] <cables> Shadow_mil, sorry 'bout the wrong nick
[03:54] <Ruger1> I don't know what to choose?
[03:54] <cables> Ruger1, what type of card do you have?
[03:54] <[ir] crAig> is there a way to tell the difference between a 20-pin and a 24-pin powersupply judging by the voltages on the picture?
[03:54] <clearzen> wckdkl0wn: yeah it's called nmapfe
[03:54] <Ruger1> No idea, in all honesty. Nvidia is all my guess
[03:54] <nickrud> joules, now of the  sudo dpkg -r z600cups --force-remove-reinstreq.
[03:54] <Ruger1> Isn't there a generic?
[03:55] <cables> [ir] crAig, perhaps you could ask whoever's helping you to step into #ubuntu-offtopic?
[03:55] <cables> Ruger1, yes, vesa, but it's better to try one of the specific ones
[03:55] <levander> joules: So, try reinstalling z600cups like apt tells you to.
[03:55] <taime1_> Ruger1: nv
[03:55] <wckdkl0wn> clearzen, ty
[03:55] <Ruger1> I didn't see an NV. I'll look, brb.
[03:55] <cables> taime1_, he is only guessing he has nvidia
[03:55] <clearzen> wckdkl0wn: np
[03:55] <cables> Ruger1, hold on
[03:55] <[ir] crAig> i am... sorry but he answered me so i kept the convo going, i'll leave now bye and thx
[03:55] <thugren> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31494/
[03:55] <cables> Ruger1, if you have nvidia, select nv (or nvidia if you have it)
[03:56] <cables> Ruger1, if you're not sure, you can try that. If it doesn't work when you restart, you'll have to do it again and change it to something else
[03:56] <joules> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31495/
[03:56] <caramba> how to make my tv-out work on 7.04 with a ati 8500?
[03:57] <Ruger1> OK used NV and set 1680.. Do I have to restart for it to work?
[03:57] <caramba> how to make my tv-out work on 7.04 with an ati 8500?
[03:57] <clearzen> thugren: is your network subnet 192.168.1.xxx?
[03:57] <cables> Ruger1, are you in a vtty? (a ctrl-alt-fkey terminal)
[03:57] <thugren> 192.168.2.xxx ?
[03:57] <joules> levander: it tells me i the package is corrupted or i have no accesss .. so id have to run the deb as root .. however i didnt need to when i first opened it
[03:57] <levander> caramba: All I know to tell you is to look into the documentation for the video card driver you are using.
[03:57] <Ruger1> No idea.
[03:57] <clearzen> thugren: what is the name of your wireless network?
[03:57] <thugren> smc
[03:57] <cables> Ruger1, is your terminal in a window on your desktop?
[03:57] <levander> joules: To install and remove packages with APT, you are always going to have to be root.
[03:57] <Ruger1> Yes
[03:57] <clearzen> thugren: k, one sec
[03:58] <caramba> im using the one that came with 7.04
[03:58] <caramba> <[03:58] <cables> Ruger1, ok. Hit ctrl-alt-f1 (you'll be put into a text-only terminal), log in, and type < sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart >
[03:58] <Ruger1> ...ok
[03:58] <cables> Ruger1, if you get stuck and want to come back, do ctrl-alt-f7
[03:58] <nickrud> joules, sorry, sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinsreq z600cups :)
[03:58] <joules> levander: i know .. but this is a deb so i just opened it through the normal environment not terminal
[03:58] <Ruger1> thanks brb
[03:58] <thugren> But I can see the route is coming with signal and percentage?
[03:58] <caramba> i tried to install the ati one but i get a error
[03:59] <levander> joules: If you opened and looked at it in that archive-manager thing, that did not install it.  If it was installed, it was installed another way.
[03:59] <joules> nickrud: naw that doesnt work are you sure you are not missing a --remove
[03:59] <levander> brb
[03:59] <nickrud> joules, -r is the same as --reinstall
[04:00] <joules> nickrud: well when i put it in it gave me options
[04:00] <Punkunity> i am having a problem with the game called Nexuiz, i tried looking for a more appropriate channell, but this is all i came up with
[04:00] <thugren> I can see the router and it can't Id or get an IP for these?
[04:00] <nickrud> joules, a sec, doing three things at once.
[04:00] <andrer> how can one turn off that feature that makes windows that are not responding go black and white?
[04:00] <Punkunity> i try playing it and then it crashes and the terminal says (core dumped)
[04:00] <andrer> i am having ubuntu do that to responding windows :(
[04:00] <Punkunity> anyone have any ideas??
[04:01] <clearzen> thugren: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31496/ <----try that under the listing for ath0
[04:01] <nickrud> sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq z600cups  sorry, typo: forgot the t
[04:01] <clearzen> thugren: Then sudo ifdown ath0; sudo ifup ath0
[04:01] <g2g591> there i just installed a LEXMARK printer
[04:01] <clearzen> thugren: that should work for you
[04:02] <joules> levander: i know i installed it that way because the "package installer" window came up and then i clicked on the "install package" button and it worked.. or so i thought
[04:02] <Punkunity> ANYONE??!??!!
[04:02] <clearzen> Punkunity: try cedega
[04:02] <joules> levander: ill be back just a second
[04:02] <Vuen> hey guys, does directx work inside qemu?
[04:03] <joules> nickrud: as i said ill be back hold on
[04:03] <thugren> k
[04:03] <Vuen> like, lets say i want to play an old directdraw game in a windows xp vm inside qemu... does that work?
[04:04] <Pici> Anyone know of a pdf reader for Ubuntu that allows you to make bookmarks? Or a pdf2ebook thing that lets you save bookmarks?
[04:04] <osxdude|down> I need new discs...
[04:05] <windio00> hmmm i think my router is going bad . . . . my theory is that it is the wan port only as the other ones work . . . any ideas for help?
[04:05] <Vuen> windio00: maybe it's just overheating.
[04:05] <levander> Pici: adobe's version of acroread is availble for linux, that doesn't do it?
[04:06] <windio00> Vuen:  oh ok i disconnected it
[04:06] <jetscreamer> windio00: i had one where the router worked, but the incoming internet connection port didn't.. brownout did it. linksys wrt54g
[04:06] <Ruger1> Back
[04:06] <Ruger1> It still won't let me change the resolution above 800x600...
[04:06] <windio00> jetscreamer:  mine is the gp2 from linksys
[04:06] <Ruger1> ;(
[04:07] <wckdkl0wn> what would cause firefox to take forever to open a webpage?
[04:07] <jetscreamer> use hwinfo and set the v&h rates correctly in xorg.conf
[04:07] <jetscreamer> !info hwinfo
[04:07] <ubotu> hwinfo: Hardware identification system. In component universe, is optional. Version 13.11-3 (feisty), package size 40 kB, installed size 108 kB
[04:07] <jetscreamer> hwinfo --monitor when x isn't running
[04:07] <Ruger1> I don't know the V&H rates.
[04:07] <jetscreamer> now you do.. or will
[04:07] <Ruger1> ok.
[04:07] <Ruger1> ..
[04:07] <jetscreamer> i also find googling just the monitor's model # returns the v&h rates the most
[04:07] <jetscreamer> when googling
[04:07] <Ruger1> It's an LCD
[04:08] <Ruger1> Will this still work
[04:08] <jetscreamer> ah
[04:08] <windio00> jetscreamer:  did a ping from all computers connect to router . . . 100% . . . .and then 20% from computer to router just above this one
[04:08] <jetscreamer> it did for me.. make sure xorg/gedm isn't running
[04:08] <Ruger1> I need 1680x1050
[04:08] <jetscreamer> gdm
[04:08] <Ruger1> how do I keep it from runing?
[04:08] <jetscreamer> /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[04:08] <jetscreamer> if you use gnome/gdm
[04:08] <Ruger1> ...ok
[04:08] <jetscreamer> kdm for kde
[04:08] <Ruger1> I stop it
[04:08] <Ruger1> then I use.. hwinfo?
[04:08] <windio00> jetscreamer:  then i pinged the one above directly from ubuntu
[04:08] <jetscreamer> apt-get install hwinfo first
[04:08] <Ruger1> hm
[04:08] <windio00> jetscreamer: 100%
[04:08] <jetscreamer> it's not installed by default
[04:09] <Ruger1> need internet?
[04:09] <Ruger1> bah
[04:09] <Ruger1> brb
[04:09] <jetscreamer> you're on internet
[04:09] <Paddy_EIRE> i like cake
[04:09] <jetscreamer> :o
[04:09] <Ruger1> 2 pcs
[04:09] <jetscreamer> ah
[04:09] <jetscreamer> you can get it from packages.ubuntu.org
[04:09] <windio00> Vuen:  if it were overheating . . .why would the 4 lan ports work and not the wan ?
[04:09] <jetscreamer> and cp it over on a floppy or something
[04:09] <jetscreamer> usb stick
[04:10] <Paddy_EIRE> or sharp cake
[04:10] <Vuen> windio00: not sure.
[04:10] <Vuen> windio00: just suggesting. my router overheats sometimes and reboots.
[04:10] <IndyGunFreak> Vuen: sounds like you need a new router.
[04:10] <Vuen> nah
[04:10] <Paddy_EIRE> Vuen, does that happen..?
[04:10] <Vuen> i should uupgrade the firrmwaer
[04:11] <Vuen> upgrade* firmware*
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> Vuen: ok, how would upgrading the firmware, fix overheating?
[04:11] <lashmoov2> I have a .flv video, vlc is not playing it, movie player locks up with it any suggestions?
[04:11] <Vuen> IndyGunFreak: it's rebooting partly because it wasn't designed to handle too many connections, so it thinks too much and overheat
[04:11] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, TWAT!
[04:11] <clearzen> lashmoov2: convert it to mpeg with ffmpeg
[04:11] <windio00> Vuen:  im wondering if its because it has a voip thing built in and vonage upgrade the firmware for it
[04:11] <Vuen> seven college students using bittorrent will do that to a router
[04:12] <shady> lashmoov2 u can use mplayer it is good ;)
[04:12] <Vuen> the new firmware makes it handle more connections more smoothly
[04:12] <lashmoov2> clearzen: ok thanks, thought something would play it natively
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: ?...
[04:12] <Fracture> hi, I am having problems with my raid partitions not mounting properly during the boot process.  I forgot the grub kernel parameter that causes the boot process to drop into a shell when it mounts the root file system..  Does anyone know this ?  I can't seem to find it anywhere.
[04:12] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, oops
[04:12] <lashmoov2> shady:mplayer locks up with it
[04:12] <clearzen>  lashmoov2: it will if you have the right codecs installs
[04:12] <joules> levander: hey im back any new ideas on how we can kick this package?
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: guess it was a joke i missed.. i hope anyways...lol
[04:12] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, that was meant elsewhere
[04:12] <clearzen>  lashmoov2: I think it is the w32codecs  package
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> oh, ok..... i think..lol
[04:12] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, jeeze man sry
[04:12] <lashmoov2> I thought I had all the ffmpeg, w32codecs, and xine codecs installed
[04:12] <lashmoov2> lemme check again
[04:13] <lu5t> Why does Xchat automatically close if i try to switch servers?
[04:13] <shady> lashmoov2 use easy ubuntu to install codec ;)
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: its no big deal, don't sweat it, i've been called 2ay way worse than a twat in my life
[04:13] <joules> nickrud: know how to take kill this package ? :)

[04:31] <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
[04:31] <reya276> should I install AVG antivirus, do I even need one?
[04:31] <joules> nickrud: sorry i didnt see you were talking to me
[04:31] <Aren> unagi, grub-install --no-floppy /dev/hda
[04:31] <unagi> reya276 i would say no you dont need an antivirus
[04:31] <Aren> or whatever hard disk you're using
[04:31] <unagi> im in windows
[04:32] <nickrud> heh. I ream people for that too. sorry
[04:32] <reya276> this article says you should (http://www.maximumpc.com/article/protect_your_linux_box_from_viruses)
[04:32] <Hammerjack> you could just install ClamAV
[04:32] <unagi> wow this isnt going to be easy is it
[04:33] <reya276> yeah that's what I though too, but does Linux need one running and will this slow my system down
[04:33] <Aren> unagi, you'll probably have to boot off a linux live cd
[04:33] <Aren> reya276, clamav isn't a resident scanner
[04:33] <Aren> it only scans when you ask it to
[04:33] <OsamaK|Way> Hi!
[04:33] <reya276> you are trying to install Ubuntu, run the live cd and install dude
[04:33] <OsamaK|Way> How do i add a font?
[04:34] <Aren> OsamaK|Way, place the font into your ~/.fonts folder
[04:34] <Aren> if ~/.fonts doesn't exist, make it
[04:34] <reya276> resident scanner? please explain
[04:34] <Aren> reya276, unlike AVG or norton on windows
[04:35] <Aren> clamav isn't always running in the background scanning as you work
[04:35] <reya276> oh so you have to make it run

[04:35] <Aren> OsamaK|Way, mkdir ~/.fonts
[04:35] <reya276> what are the chances one can catch one for Ubuntu
[04:36] <xjkx> apt-get install pidgin doesnt work, just GAIM, wtF, the project now is pidgin !!
[04:36] <Stormx2> reya276: A virus. Somewhere between zero and none.
[04:36] <reya276> ah what ever, no anti virus for me
[04:36] <reya276> thanks guys
[04:36] <Stormx2> xjkx: Yeah, and the gaim is perfectly stable.
[04:37] <OsamaK|Way> Aren: no thing with "mkdir ~/.fonts"
[04:37] <Stormx2> xjkx: What's the issue?
[04:37] <reya276> any updates on ATI Drivers that actually work
[04:37] <Aren> OsamaK|Way, it doesn't give you back any output
[04:37] <Aren> OsamaK|Way, you can check to see if it did it's job by:   ls -l
[04:37] <Aren> thats a lower case L
[04:37] <yagran> Hi there,sorry to be a pain...
[04:37] <yagran> could anyone help a real begginer?

[04:37] <Stormx2> !ask | yagran
[04:37] <ubotu> yagran: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[04:38] <nickrud> joules, it's gonna be easy :)
[04:38] <yagran> kk, well im aon an intel mac mini to start.
[04:38] <OsamaK|Way> Aren: " ls -l" is good
[04:38] <xjkx> Stormx2: but pidgin is better looking
[04:38] <OsamaK|Way> Aren: So.
[04:38] <yagran> and ive installed linux to an external drive and installed refit,.
[04:38] <Aren> OsamaK|Way, once you've confirmed that .fonts exists now
[04:38] <Stormx2> xjkx: Yeah, so install it?
[04:38] <Aren> just paste the fonts straight into it, and log out, then log back in
[04:39] <Stormx2> xjkx: Pidgin wasn't final when feisty was released, so it never made it into the repos.
[04:39] <yagran> but when i boot the linux drive, it just gives me a blinking _
[04:39] <nickrud> joules, paste /var/lib/dpkg/info/z600cups.postrm on pastebin
[04:39] <joules> nickrud: it will :)?
[04:39] <xjkx> Stormx2: apt-get doesnt want me to, download it and care about dependencies? no thanks
[04:39] <Stormx2> yagran: You've installed everything, yeah?

[04:40] <dmstadulis> When I plug in a wireless network card, even if there are not drivers or native support, will it light up in the power section
[04:40] <yagran> and the refit bootlader can see i have the linux installed
[04:40] <yagran> but on boot
[04:40] <yagran> blinking _
[04:40] <nickrud> joules, yeah. it's looking for /etc/init.d/cups to start and stop the print server, but in ubuntu it's /etc/init.d/cupsys. I'll look at the script, and either tell you to comment out something, or make a temporary link in /etc/init.d
[04:40] <blackhat> Is there anyway to bring up a nvidia configuration panel to setup my graphic detail, etc... like in windows? I have nvidia binary drivers installed..
[04:40] <Stormx2> yagran: Do you get a menu?
[04:40] <yagran> no :(
[04:40] <OsamaK|Way> Aren: With my computer: "/home/osama/.fonts"
[04:40] <yagran> literally just :  _
[04:41] <Aren> OsamaK|Way, correct =)
[04:41] <joules> nickrud: on the script... now i dont think i know how to do that
[04:41] <Hammerjack> yagran,  does grub even come up? (something asking you which OS to boot?)
[04:41] <Stormx2> xjkx: download the package. Unpack it, cd to it. Then: sudo apt-get build-dep gaim && ./configure && make && sudo checkinstall
[04:41] <tarzeau> blackhat: nvidia-settings ?
[04:41] <yagran> hammerjack: well i use a boot loader called rEFIt, do you know it?
[04:41] <xjkx> Stormx2: sounds sexy
[04:41] <Hammerjack> ah, nope haven't used that one
[04:41] <blackhat> tarzeau, thanks =)
[04:41] <nickrud> joules, the file I'm asking for is the script that is run after removing the files. And if you comment something out, I'll walk you through it. It's nothing more than putting a # at the beginning of a line
[04:41] <yagran> and that asks me which hard drive/ os to boot
[04:41] <Stormx2> yagran: Wait, you didn't install grub?
[04:42] <yagran> i can boot tiger, leopard and windows from other hard drives
[04:42] <xjkx> Thanks
[04:42] <yagran> but on linux boot
[04:42] <yagran> :(
[04:42] <yagran> Stormx2: you what? grub loader? does that even work on a mac?
[04:42] <FoxTrot> whats does ubuntu uses, lilo or grub?
[04:42] <Paddy_EIRE> ppl please keep an eye for zerokill88 an forward to me #Paddy_EIRE
[04:42] <nomasteryoda> yes
[04:43] <Stormx2> yagran: Well ubuntu installs it, so I'd assume so.
[04:43] <Paddy_EIRE> thx :)
[04:43] <nomasteryoda> it does... i use grub on my iMac with debian
[04:43] <nomasteryoda> etch
[04:43] <joules> nickrud: ok....
[04:43] <yagran> so what would you suggest as my next step?
[04:43] <Paddy_EIRE> remem
[04:43] <nickrud> joules, do nothing until you understand it. That's a good philosophy
[04:43] <yagran> nomasteryoda: how do you manage to boot into linux on a mac? what method?
[04:44] <Paddy_EIRE> follow follow ppl
[04:44] <nomasteryoda> yagran, i use only Linux on that iMac
[04:44] <Stormx2> Paddy_EIRE: What an earth are you talking about?
[04:44] <Stormx2> on*
[04:44] <Paddy_EIRE> nm
[04:44] <joules> nickrud: ok so this script ... where is is coming from
[04:44] <nomasteryoda> but grub should boot OSX too
[04:44] <usr13> How can I set up screensaver slide-show (pics of my own choosing)?
[04:44] <Stormx2> yagran: Uh, just get rid of your stupid boot script?
[04:44] <nickrud> joules, /var/lib/dpkg/info/z600cups.postrm
[04:44] <Stormx2> yagran: And use grub?
[04:45] <yagran> could you take a look at this tho, http://refit.sourceforge.net/?
[04:45] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, helpin zerokill88
[04:45] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: oh ok...  id din't get the "follow follow ppl" either..lol
[04:45] <yagran> should this not work no? it does see my linux instalation
[04:45] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, im still in my own worl though
[04:45] <Paddy_EIRE> :D
[04:45] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:46] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, I will solve this if it kills me
[04:46] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[04:46] <Stormx2> yagran: grub should overwritten your bootloader, it didn't.
[04:46] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: i wouldn't take it that seriously
[04:46] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[04:46] <Paddy_EIRE> and you dont
[04:46] <Paddy_EIRE> :D
[04:46] <Stormx2> yagran: It's not as simple as just pointing your boot loader at your ubuntu partition to boot it.
[04:47] <yagran> ok
[04:47] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, you either help or you dont..!
[04:47] <usr13> Anyone know how to do slideshow screensaver?
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: sorry, i'm talking someone through installing Ubuntu on AIM...lol
[04:47] <yagran> what else odo i need to do? thanks alot for this btw
[04:47] <ss_> hey i installed mplayer, which was working fine until the next time i rebooted, when my sound broke. can anyone help me troubleshoot please?
[04:47] <usr13> [consisting of personal pics] 
[04:47] <Paddy_EIRE> on AIM
[04:47] <Paddy_EIRE> good luck
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: its the one from a while ago, Wayford, or something like that
[04:48] <Stormx2> !sound | panfist
[04:48] <ubotu> panfist: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[04:48] <Paddy_EIRE> hmm
[04:48] <usr13> yagran, do you have any sound at all?
[04:48] <Stormx2> yagran: You need to do a manual grub install. I have no idea why grub didn't install last time.
[04:48] <hankyknot> hey all, is there a reason why a Windows Server 2003 Remote Desktop Session in Ubuntu would be noticeably slower than one on an XP machine?
[04:48] <panfist> stormx2 thanks
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: you need to fix your own problems first..lol
[04:49] <Stormx2> hankyknot: What protocol?
[04:49] <hankyknot> RDP
[04:49] <Stormx2> Uhg.
[04:49] <Stormx2> Try VNC
[04:49] <Stormx2> Otherwise.. meh.. no idea.
[04:49] <Stormx2> Sounds like something microsoft cooked up, so it's bound to degrade in ubuntu.
[04:50] <joules> nickrud: ok i opened the script with gedit and there is nothing writen
[04:50] <bruenig|laptop> deluge has officially become equal to utorrent with its 0.5.3 release, rss broadcatching support
[04:50] <hankyknot> would rather not have to do the whole VNC thing, is there only the opne rdo client package available in ubuntu?
[04:51] <hankyknot> *one rdp client
[04:51] <mabus> hankyknot: rdesktop
[04:51] <mabus> my personal fave
[04:52] <nickrud> joules, I may have a typo, /var/lib/dpkg/info/z600cups.postrm
[04:52] <hankyknot> when i install ubuntu according to the package manager rdesktop is installed but I cant find where to launch it from. All I can find is the Remote Desktop Connection program
[04:52] <kolidaga> hi guys
[04:52] <kolidaga> anyone willing to answer a QT question? (qt library, not quicktime)
[04:53] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, serious mate, catch up
[04:53] <mabus> hankyknot: it's from the command line
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: sorry, this IM is  fairly involved, whats up?
[04:53] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, or keep up whatever
[04:53] <yagran> ok, so how do i manually install grub and set it up to dual boot OSX on an internal drive and Ubuntu on a USB External Drive? (not much to ask i know, really sorry)
[04:53] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, nothin
[04:53] <bulmer> hankynot look under applications-->internet-->terminal server client
[04:53] <mabus> it just launches a window that is an rdp connection, you specify the settings on the command line
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok...lol, then i'll just fall behind again.
[04:53] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah
[04:54] <hankyknot> ok so Im a complete noob when it comes to command line, where can I gen up on this?
[04:54] <mabus> I imagine remote desktop connection is just a gui for that program
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> he's restarting now, so i can see if i borked his vista install..lol
[04:54] <mabus> hankyknot: rdesktop --help
[04:54] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[04:54] <joules> nickrud: nop it is still blank
[04:54] <hankyknot> thats what I was worried about, it being the same thing, worried because it meant I didnt have another option
[04:54] <Paddy_EIRE> u did not
[04:54] <joules> and i opened it through the file browser so no type
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: i don't think so..,
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> it seems all went ok,...
[04:54] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[04:54] <nickrud> joules try ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/z600*
[04:54] <Paddy_EIRE> nice one
[04:55] <darkskye> Does ubuntu use something different from lynx?
[04:55] <yagran> can anyone help? how do i manually install grub and set it up to dual boot OSX on an internal drive and Ubuntu on a USB External Drive? (not much to ask i know, really sorry)
[04:55] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, I'd think you got it and if not vista fecked me up when I had a solid dual boot with ubuntu
[04:56] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, obviously some sort of malware
[04:56] <joules> nickrud: gave me .... cups.list cups.md5sums z600cups.postrm and z600cups.preinst
[04:56] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: probably.
[04:56] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, kinda sad from a win point of view
[04:57] <nickrud> joules, that's the one->>  z600cups.postrm  (try ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/z600* , make sure it's not empty)
[04:57] <bulmer> yagran: man grub-install
[04:57] <yagran> can no-one help?
[04:57] <darkskye> n/m
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> indeedo... i've not used windows or dual booted in about a year so i'm kinda clueless to the issues
[04:57] <raw700> my cardbus doesn't load, and my bios uses APM, but only ACPI is trying to load, any help ?
[04:57] <rockets> Hey, how do I do bluetooth pairing in ubuntu
[04:57] <rockets> I don't see a gui tool anywhere
[04:57] <yagran> bulmer: where do i type that?
[04:58] <Paddy_EIRE> IndyGunFreak, anything I can help with...?
[04:58] <IndyGunFreak> Paddy_EIRE: na, he just got back, i'll tel you in a sec.
[04:58] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:58] <Paddy_EIRE> np
[04:58] <Jack_Sparrow> yagran: This might help ... http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/25/usb-x-ubuntu-610/

[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: You bet.. and thanks for the kind thoughts
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Kinda quiet tonight
[05:01] <osxdude|TX> Jack_Sparrow: How far? Do you mean you actually met each other?
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: Just here
[05:01] <BigMac> Hey, I am trying to dual boot ubuntu and xp using this guide: http://apcmag.com/5459/dualboot_ubuntu_and_windows_xp, but my grub has failed to load and when I perform 'find /boot/grub/stage1'it gives (hd0,1) instead of (hd0,0) as the guide assumes. Can some help me adapt those three or four commands to work with this location?
[05:01] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, it has been since edgy I find
[05:01] <nickrud> joules, cd /etc/init.d/ && sudo ln -s cupsys cups  <-- that will create a link that the postrm can use to restart cups. do the --force-remove-reinstreq again
[05:01] <osxdude|TX> Jack_Sparrow: It's because my laptop has no OS :P
[05:02] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[05:02] <project9> how to i copy from linux to windows ,windows partion is mounted
[05:02] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, what you running on
[05:02] <Aren> project9, is that windows partition an ntfs partition?
[05:02] <Aren> if so, you'll need that driver... I forget what it's called
[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> ntfs-3g
[05:02] <kuitang> project9, Aren: Captive NTFS
[05:03] <Paddy_EIRE> thats it
[05:03] <Aren> thats the one, Jack_Sparrow nailed it
[05:03] <project9> yes
[05:03] <project9> its ntfs
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> !ntfs-3g
[05:03] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[05:03] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, whats goin on man
[05:03] <BigMac> Hey, I am trying to dual boot ubuntu and xp using this guide: http://apcmag.com/5459/dualboot_ubuntu_and_windows_xp, but my grub has failed to load and when I perform 'find /boot/grub/stage1'it gives (hd0,1) instead of (hd0,0) as the guide assumes. Can some help me adapt those three or four commands to work with this location?
[05:03] <osxdude|TX> Paddy_EIRE: I tried to install ubuntu, but the disc I used is too crappy
[05:04] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, the disc itself
[05:04] <Paddy_EIRE> ?
[05:04] <osxdude|TX> Yup, Paddy_EIRE
[05:04] <kuitang> BigMac: Is your windows Vista?
[05:04] <osxdude|TX> I mean the CD
[05:04] <yagran> hi, i found a tut to install ubuntu seccesfully to my intel mac mini, but i dont understand one of the steps? could someone help me through it please?
[05:04] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, well then the prob is obvious
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> BigMac: can you post your boot/grub/menu.lst to the pastebin
[05:04] <BigMac> kuitang: No it is XP like the guide I linked you to
[05:05] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, you on broadband
[05:05] <yagran> "Use rEFIt's partition map tool to copy the GPT partition map into the MBR. The new GPT partition format can handle very large disks and contains the canonical partition map; the old MBR partition map should contain a shadow of this information and is used here primarily by the GRUB bootloader. I am sure that one day soon rEFIt will boot Ubuntu's Linux kernel directly and will be able to skip this." help?
[05:05] <BigMac> Jack_Sparrow: I can't access ubuntu at all, I am on the live cd with no internet connection
[05:06] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, get a new download and burn at low speed then run the md5 sum then report any errors to us.....or report any how too's
[05:06] <osxdude|TX> Paddy_EIRE, hate to say it but yes...that computer always has had internet problems even over wireless
[05:06] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, your runnin os 10 I take it...?
[05:07] <BigMac> Can anyone else help?
[05:07] <aib> yagran, i don't know the instructions you are following, but they don't sound like they are the most straightforward possible
[05:07] <nickrud> joules, you gonna try that?
[05:07] <osxdude|TX> Paddy_EIRE: no that computer is running Windows :P
[05:07] <BigMac> I I am lost with out being able to access either os
[05:07] <osxdude|TX> the name came from Mac Emulation
[05:07] <joules> nickrud: yeah ... i forget the whole command like to use the force
[05:07] <aib> yagran, you might also consider that VMWare is free. i'm running Kubuntu and Fedora on my mac mini under vmware...
[05:08] <nickrud> joules, sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq z600cups
[05:08] <joules> nickrud: sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq z600cups right?
[05:08] <Jack_Sparrow> BigMac: Did you have windows on first or after ubuntu?
[05:08] <nickrud> yup
[05:08] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, if your patient then you can either format into a fresh win install and download ubuntu or send via shipit
[05:08] <mneptok> aib: VMware is not free. it is a commercial product. some versions of it are released at no cost.
[05:08] <dmstadulis> What's that driver wrapper called for wireless netcards?
[05:08] <mneptok> dmstadulis: ndiswrapper
[05:08] <dmstadulis> thank you
[05:08] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, otherwise I would not trust your current unstall
[05:08] <BigMac> Jack_Sparrow: As the guide I linked you to says, I had linux first
[05:09] <Paddy_EIRE> *install
[05:09] <aib> mneptok, it's free in the traditional meaning of the word. i can't really help it if you think free means freedom...
[05:09] <joules> nickrud: Errors were encountered while processing: z600cups ..... uhhh are we giving up?
[05:09] <mneptok> aib: it is NOT free. the majority of VMWare products require licensing.
[05:09] <nickrud> which ones, the same?
[05:09] <osxdude|TX> Paddy_EIRE: ..i downloading
[05:09] <nickrud> joules, or new ones
[05:09] <Jack_Sparrow> BigMac: I have the guide up, but still easier to verify the facts.
[05:09] <osxdude|TX> aib: get virtualbox
[05:10] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, please consider these alternatives otherwise you will leave yourself with a bitter taste of ubuntu
[05:10] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, on your bad install
[05:10] <osxdude|TX> Paddy_EIRE, can you see what I am saying?
[05:10] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, i would not trust
[05:10] <joules> nickrud: as i said i think that since the postrm page is blank then what we just did wont work anyway
[05:10] <nilihanth> Help: I've followed the ALSA sound guide to install my ALI 5451 driver but still dont have sound
[05:10] <Jack_Sparrow> BigMac: The guide is for both os on a single drive, I take it you have installed windows on a second drive?
[05:11] <BigMac> Jack_Sparrow: Ok , and setup (hd0) works but setup(hd1) does not
[05:11] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, is this the same install as your previous download that failed
[05:11] <nickrud> joules, you used alien on what file? I'll go after the postrm another way, if you're willing
[05:11] <osxdude|TX> Paddy_EIRE: I'm gonna try to buy new CDs
[05:11] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, hope your not driving yourself mad
[05:11] <osxdude|TX> ;ub ldfgnfgn
[05:11] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, and no need to buy !!!
[05:11] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, ?
[05:12] <osxdude|TX> paddy_EIRE: sorry
[05:12] <mneptok> osxdude|TX: use BitTorrent to download. you get hash checking.
[05:12] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, shipit
[05:12] <BigMac> Jack_Sparrow:They are both on the same hard drive
[05:12] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, 1 sec
[05:12] <osxdude|TX> Paddy_EIRE: I know
[05:12] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, hope so dont rip yourself off
[05:12] <Davy_Jones> Paddy_EIRE: did you know you don't need to buy!!!!????
[05:12] <nilihanth> can anyone help with my sound driver problems?
[05:13] <joules> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31508/
[05:13] <Paddy_EIRE> Davy_Jones, errr
[05:13] <BigMac> Jack_Sparrow: And if it helps/is possible without an internet connection, I have no problem using lilo if it will be easier
[05:13] <Davy_Jones> nilihanth: know one would know unless you provide more info
[05:13] <Paddy_EIRE> Davy_Jones, english
[05:13] <Davy_Jones> no*
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> BigMac: Grub will work fine..
[05:13] <Davy_Jones> Paddy_EIRE: what?
[05:13] <joules> nickrud: sure the file was a .rpm
[05:13] <Paddy_EIRE> Davy_Jones, I like cake
[05:13] <Jack_Sparrow> BigMac: What is your partitioin configuration
[05:13] <BigMac> Jack_Sparrow:Ok, it isn't right now though unless you have other ideas.
[05:14] <Davy_Jones> Paddy_EIRE: why are you telling me you like cake?=
[05:14] <aib> VirtualBox OSE is also crippleware. It is missing the built-in Remote Display Protocol (RDP) server, USB support and the combination of running the RDP server with support of remote USB devices, shared folders, with which host directories can be shared with the guest and The iSCSI support for virtual hard disks
[05:14] <osxdude|TX> Paddy_EIRE: I'll go to the store and buy new CD-R(W)s then burn the Desktop then ALternate
[05:14] <nilihanth> Davy_Jones, I did just a minute ago...hold on
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> BigMac: I have maybe 20 minutes before the wife gets home then someone else will need to help you..
[05:14] <nilihanth> I followed the ALSA sound driver install guide but still dont have sound
[05:14] <BigMac> Jack_Sparrow:Umm, I am not sure I did the standard install on a clean drive. THen resized the largest partition down by 8 gb
[05:15] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, good idea, otherwise reformat ur comp into a basic win and download buntu
[05:15] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, good luck
[05:15] <BigMac> Jack_Sparrow:Then could we join #grub0help to eliminate on the cludder so I can answer faster
[05:16] <osxdude|TX> Paddy_EIRE: lol
[05:16] <unagi> ok im in some trouble here.......my grub still does not show up when i restart....forcing me into windows.....can anyone help?
[05:16] <unagi> !grub
[05:16] <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
[05:16] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, im a funny guy
[05:16] <nickrud> joules, try installing the deb again.
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> BigMac: Nope..  I try to discourage people putting XP on after ubuntu.... Need to know your partition info and partition sizes...
[05:16] <Paddy_EIRE> osxdude|TX, until I turn sexually violent :D
[05:17] <Paddy_EIRE> lol
[05:17] <unagi> Jack_Sparrow do you know how to fix grub issues?
[05:17] <joules> nickrud: "could not open 'z600cups_1.0-2_i386.deb"
[05:17] <Paddy_EIRE> unagi, by reading man grub
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Some of them, but not here for long...
[05:17] <nickrud> joules, then do the dpkg -i where the file is :)
[05:17] <Paddy_EIRE> unagi, and the ubuntu wiki
[05:17] <nickrud> joules, brb
[05:17] <mneptok> Jack_Sparrow: not to mention the *poof* of any MBR
[05:17] <Davy_Jones> yeah, because ubuntu is smart.. it knows when other operating systems exists and tries to react with them.. but windows is stupid and thinks there is no one in the world but him
[05:17] <unagi> the ubuntu wiki didnt work for me
[05:18] <BigMac> Jack_Sparrow: It is not by choice, my professor is forcing me to use VB studio
[05:18] <unagi> hence why i am here asking
[05:18] <uavstrebe> what does the term "ndiswrapper" mean to you
[05:18] <Leann> hi there someone  from argentina ?
[05:18] <mneptok> BigMac: for basic?
[05:18] <BigMac> Jack_Sparrow:And I just described the partition setup as best as I can
[05:18] <Paddy_EIRE> BigMac, then use mono and prove him stupid
[05:18] <mneptok> BigMac: he *does* realize VB* is dead, yes?
[05:19] <mneptok> BigMac: ask if you can use RealBasic ;)
[05:19] <Davy_Jones> VB.. that's damn old
[05:19] <unagi> my grub still does not show up when i restart after running grub-install....forcing me into windows.....can anyone help?
[05:19] <BigMac> mneptok:Its part of a CS assignment and I told him there was other linux alternatives and he said No you must use VB Studio
[05:19] <royel> mneptok: hehe, even SmallBasic will do :)
[05:19] <Davy_Jones> BigMac: switch universities
[05:19] <mneptok> BigMac: RealBasic or WINE?
[05:19] <uavstrebe> can anyone help me broadcom ndiswrapper help
[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Super grub repair cd can often fix those issues.. livecd type thing
[05:19] <blairellis> To setup Compiz Fusion for the first time, do I need to log out then in again?
[05:20] <Paddy_EIRE> BigMac, then its not proper...?
[05:20] <BigMac> Alright we are starting to digress, I need to get Ubuntu fixed, we can debate my career path later after it is fixed:0
[05:20] <Paddy_EIRE> BigMac, explain
[05:20] <Jack_Sparrow> uavstrebe: Dont use ndiswrapper for a broadcom bcm43xx chipset
[05:20] <mneptok> BigMac: a uni teaching VisualBasic is probably also teaching that evil in the world is caused by an evil spirit inside a dog.
[05:20] <royel> blairellis: X needs to restart normally, it will require more than just logging in and out
[05:20] <Davy_Jones> blairellis: it wouldn't hurt to do, would it?
[05:20] <Jack_Sparrow> !broadcom
[05:20] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:20] <blairellis> royel: so a full restart?
[05:20] <Paddy_EIRE> BigMac, switch tutors mate he is certainly not right
[05:20] <unagi> my ship is about to sail too so im pressed for time =(
[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> uavstrebe: fwcutter and the windows driver will get it going
[05:21] <uavstrebe> Jack_sparrow what do you recommend?
[05:21] <royel> blairellis: CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE will restart X
[05:21] <blairellis> Yea, thats what I meant by loging out then in
[05:21] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, why not ndiswrapper
[05:21] <blairellis> my appologies
[05:21] <mneptok> BigMac: RealBasic is 90% VB syntax compliant. most VB devs moved to RealBasic when MS folded VB into .NET
[05:21] <BigMac> Paddy_EIRE:It is just a small partof the course and I am already decent at vb so it doesn't matter that much to me
[05:21] <Paddy_EIRE> k
[05:21] <Paddy_EIRE> nm
[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: it will work.. but seems to get better speeds with fwcutter
[05:21] <unagi> my grub still does not show up when i restart after running grub-install....forcing me into windows.....can anyone help?
[05:22] <uavstrebe> fwcutter? i'm in.  thanks
[05:22] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, never realised
[05:22] <Jack_Sparrow> no biggie
[05:22] <not_a_k_> my firefox is unbearably slow in ubuntu when compared to windows. scrolling is horrendously slow. it's a big problem on those crazy javascript laden sites that everyone makes these days
[05:22] <osxdude|TX> unagi: change you bios settings
[05:22] <alecwh> How do I modify my sound settings to switch off my main speakers when my headset is plugged in?
[05:22] <mneptok> fwcutter > ndiswrapper
[05:22] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, would most win drivers work better with fwcutter
[05:22] <joules> nickrud: yes it worked....? now what
[05:22] <Paddy_EIRE> ?
[05:22] <blairellis> I'll be back in a few seconds. Restarting X
[05:22] <mneptok> we recommend fwcutter wherever possible
[05:22] <royel> not_a_k_: If I had to guess why, I would say it might be a video driver.
[05:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: Only experience is with bcm43xx driver
[05:23] <nickrud> joules, ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/z600*
[05:23] <unagi> change my bios settings to what.
[05:23] <Davy_Jones> !grub|unagi
[05:23] <ubotu> unagi: 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

[05:23] <osxdude|TX> alecwh: under the switches tab in the voume comtrol choose "headphone jack sense
[05:23] <unagi> thanks Davy_Jones..............doesnt work
[05:23] <joules> nickrud: and?
[05:23] <Paddy_EIRE> Jack_Sparrow, thx for your know how
[05:24] <alecwh> osxdude|TX: there is no headphone checkbox, but my headphone is working..
[05:24] <Paddy_EIRE> :D
[05:24] <Davy_Jones> unagi: it should work. no, it must work
[05:24] <nickrud> see if the postrm is longer than one byte: post that line here
[05:24] <osxdude|TX> unagi: go into your bios settings and change your boot priorities
[05:24] <not_a_k_> royel: it's fglrx. maybe I should try the open source versions?
[05:24] <Davy_Jones> unagi:  because you're following what the link say you're configuring grub all over from the start.. so it must work
[05:24] <hyphenex> Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix - missing?  <- do I need to change anything to install 'g++'?
[05:25] <Jack_Sparrow> brb
[05:25] <alecwh> osxdude|TX:  do I need to restart?
[05:25] <Davy_Jones> osxdude|TX: it has nothing to do with boot priorities
[05:25] <osxdude|TX> alecwh: then it has to do with a connection inside your computer
[05:25] <alecwh> :(
[05:25] <osxdude|TX> alecwh unless you have an intel D56PERL model desktop board I cannot help you
[05:25] <hyphenex> how do I 'apt-get install g++' without getting a bunch of warnings?
[05:26] <alecwh> I have a laptop. :P
[05:26] <Paddy_EIRE> I like cake
[05:26] <nickrud> hyphenex, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential
[05:26] <Paddy_EIRE> :P
[05:26] <Davy_Jones> is compiz fusion stable now?
[05:26] <nomasteryoda> Davy_Jones, mostly
[05:26] <hyphenex> nickrud: and then 'sudo apt-get install g++'?
[05:26] <Paddy_EIRE> Davy_Jones, really
[05:26] <Davy_Jones> it's been around for too long.. they should work on making it stable other than applying more eye candy
[05:26] <Davy_Jones> that's how linux programs work
[05:26] <nomasteryoda> on Ubuntu, but not it seems on my Feisty Kubuntu
[05:26] <nickrud> hyphenex, build-essential will get g++, make, some other necessary files
[05:26] <osxdude|TX> alecwh I do to...it has no OS thought..going to buy new CDs and burn ubuntu to them
[05:27] <hyphenex> nickrud: Okies, thanks
[05:27] <Davy_Jones> Paddy_EIRE: really what?
[05:27] <alecwh> osxdude|TX:  ok, well... they don't show up
[05:27] <Paddy_EIRE> Davy_Jones, fusion
[05:27] <hackle577> hey all, is there a way to use "wget" to download a whole directory of files at once?
[05:27] <Davy_Jones> Paddy_EIRE: do i have to connect the words to make a meaningful sentence?
[05:27] <Paddy_EIRE> Davy_Jones, is it more stable than beryl
[05:27] <alecwh> When I look under Switches in the volume tab of sound settings, "headphone" is not listed. How can I fix this?
[05:27] <putergirl> ;
[05:27] <nomasteryoda> the idea behind fusion ... they are making the base stable... community plugins are what cause problems...
[05:28] <Davy_Jones> Paddy_EIRE: i have no idea, that's why i asked
[05:28] <Paddy_EIRE> oh
[05:28] <joules> nickrud: yes yes yes yes yes x 10000000
[05:28] <nickrud> worked, eh?
[05:28] <nomasteryoda> alecwh, what kind of headphones? wired?
[05:28] <osxdude|TX> beyrl is cool
[05:28] <Davy_Jones> nomasteryoda: you think?
[05:28] <joules> nickrud:  it worked ur a genius
[05:28] <Paddy_EIRE> beryl aint stable
[05:28] <AnRkey> one of the better responses i have seen :D
[05:28] <Davy_Jones> osxdude|TX: compiz fusion is more cool
[05:28] <nomasteryoda> Paddy_EIRE, so true
[05:28] <nomasteryoda> fusion is
[05:28] <hyphenex> I get a lot of things like 'Err http://au.archive.ubuntu.com feisty-updates/restricted Translation-en_AU Could not connect to au.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (211.29.132.173). - connect (111 Connection refused)' when running 'sudo apt-get update'
[05:28] <alecwh> nomasteryoda: yeah, wired. I can use them too, it just won't let me switch the sound on plugin
[05:28] <nomasteryoda> almost cold fusion is
[05:28] <Paddy_EIRE> nomasteryoda, is it
[05:29] <nickrud> joules, no, I've just been down this painful road. Now some cleanup:  sudo unlink /etc/init.d/cups
[05:29] <AnRkey> osxdude|TX,  compiz-fusion is looking shweeter
[05:29] <nomasteryoda> alecwh, ah ic... not sure about that one
[05:29] <alecwh> ok, sucks to be me. ;P

[05:32] <regeya> what I said was the more verbose, less rude version of what nickrud said.

[05:33] <blairellis> I copy and pasted everything to the T
[05:33] <dstadulis> how do I check what kernel build I have?
[05:33] <Davy_Jones> blairellis: it could be anything really
[05:34] <nomasteryoda> dstadulis, uname -a
[05:34] <fez_> anyone installed the nvidia driver for 8800gts?
[05:34] <dstadulis> nomasteryoda: thank you
[05:34] <malocite> can someone take a look at a tiny bit of code and tell me if it looks right?

[05:36] <AnRkey> Davy_Jones, it's 4:44 am here how am i supposed to go sleep now? Huh?
[05:36] <nomasteryoda> AnRkey, i recommend doing in another partition..... if you have lots of custom tweaks you did to Feisty
[05:36] <Davy_Jones> AnRkey: gutsy is out?

[05:41] <Davy_Jones> unagi: there is some howto out there to dual boot vista and ubuntu.. google
[05:41] <Davy_Jones> ?
[05:41] <nickrud> nomasteryoda, I'm trending in that direction. Just not willing to pay for windows, when I need it maybe once a month, if that
[05:42] <osxdude|TX> AnRkey: lol I'm in the present
[05:42] <unagi> omg its like no one is understanding what im trying to say
[05:42] <malocite> unagi: join the club :)
[05:42] <unagi> ive been dual booting vista and ubuntu.......had to reinstal vista........grub is gone.......cant get into ubuntu........cant get grub back
[05:42] <nickrud> unagi, it makes no difference
[05:42] <AnRkey> osxdude|TX, it's all relative
[05:42] <Davy_Jones> osxdude|TX: are you really trying to help.. or you're just fooling people?
[05:42] <nickrud> !grub
[05:42] <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
[05:42] <jrattner> Where can I get a Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0* package from? (for feisty)
[05:42] <osxdude|TX> unagi : EDIT YOUR <censored> WINDOWS BOOT.INI
[05:42] <AnRkey> !time
[05:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about time - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:42] <AnRkey> haha
[05:42] <osxdude|TX> @time chicago
[05:42] <ubotu> Current time in America/Chicago: July 26 2007, 22:42:50 - Next meeting: MOTU Team in 8 hours 17 minutes
[05:42] <Davy_Jones> !vista
[05:42] <nickrud> unagi, see the grub thing above? it talks about recoveringubuntuafterinstallingwindows
[05:42] <ubotu> vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org
[05:42] <osxdude|TX> NICE
[05:43] <nomasteryoda> nickrud, ya i was using it so little here, I just wiped it out and installed into a vm... and its now got some lame issue where it crashes explorer .. so time to delete and reinstall the image... hehe
[05:43] <Davy_Jones> nickrud: i think that's applicable for windows XP.. he has vista
[05:43] <malocite> but my question is 100% ubuntu based :)  0% redmond
[05:43] <nomasteryoda> Ubotu, you're a hero buddy (yes i know its a bot)
[05:43] <nickrud> Davy_Jones, ah. so that's why everyone's talking about supergrub now
[05:43] <nomasteryoda> LOL
[05:44] <dmstadulis> if I preceed a command with sudo it will run the command as root right?
[05:44] <Davy_Jones> nickrud: dunno, i'm not using vista until next year, os
[05:44] <Davy_Jones> so
[05:44] <malocite> dmstadulis: yup
[05:44] <osxdude|TX> use Windows's multi boot thingy
[05:44] <dmstadulis> thank you
[05:44] <nickrud> Davy_Jones, no, the live cd technique would work fine
[05:44] <Frogzoo> dmstadulis: 5 points
[05:44] <malocite> yaaah, one question I could actually answer
[05:44] <Davy_Jones> nickrud: cool
[05:44] <Frogzoo> !docs | dmstadulis
[05:44] <ubotu> dmstadulis: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com
[05:44] <malocite> i'm trying to follow these instructions:  ./configure $XORG_CONFIG --with-xorg-module-dir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/modules  when  i do that I get ./configure NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY - what am I missing?
[05:46] <osxdude|TX> what did I miss
[05:46] <Davy_Jones> i'm done here.. bye
[05:46] <nickrud> malocite, have you defined $XORG_CONFIG/PREFIX ?
[05:46] <IndyGunFreak> osxdude|TX: apparently a lot.
[05:46] <malocite> http://megahurts.dk/rune/tv_output.html
[05:46] <IndyGunFreak> someone took their ball and went home.
[05:46] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[05:46] <osxdude|TX> lol
[05:46] <malocite> nickrud: I am following those instructions
[05:47] <malocite> nickrud: Under 7.0 based builds
[05:47] <ubuntu> When I try to boot Ubuntu after installation I just get a errormessage that looks something like this: "GRUB stage1.5  Error 22". Ive tried reinstalling several times.
[05:47] <nickrud> malocite, those need to be defined; without the context that's not enough info
[05:47] <osxdude|TX> ubuntu: change your nick; ops dont like names of projects
[05:47] <joules> nickrud: worse thing is that i follow the instructions and find out i had already opened the deb and copied the tar file and installed it
[05:48] <malocite> nickrud: well I am following those instructions.... everything seems to work, till I get to that ./configure line
[05:48] <osxdude|TX> To change your nick, type "/nick {nick here}, ubuntu
[05:48] <nickrud> joules, rflol. Nothing like kicking oneself :)
[05:48] <osxdude|TX> without quotes
[05:48] <malocite> nickrud: I made the xorg_prefix /etc/X11
[05:48] <Zaibot> Ah, Ive never used IRC before
[05:49] <malocite> nickrud: I thought thats where Xorg was located
[05:49] <osxdude|TX> Zaibot: it's okay...nao...error 22
[05:50] <nickrud> malocite, no, xorg config is (I believe, don't quote me, since I haven't compiled X in like 5 years) /usr/lib/X11/config
[05:50] <osxdude|TX> What is grub error 22? Zaibot needs it
[05:50] <malocite> nickrud: Good memory
[05:50] <sedeki> .. /usr/X11/xorg.conf
[05:50] <nickrud> malocite, no, I peeked :)
[05:51] <malocite> :)
[05:51] <joules> nickrud: and now that its installed it wont even work
[05:51] <malocite> so the xorg_prefix then should be /usr/lib/X11/config ?
[05:51] <osxdude|TX> BAM!
[05:51] <cipher> is it possible to limit the accessibility of an ntfs partition mounted using ntfs-3g to a single user so that only that user can view/modify data on that partition
[05:52] <nickrud> malocite, and first glance I can't find where that modules dir is. There's a good chance that those instructions are not compatible with X 7.x, I do know that stuffs been moving around recently
[05:52] <osxdude|TX> What is Grub ERROR 22? Zaibot needs it.
[05:52] <nickrud> joules, lexmark sucks
[05:52] <malocite> you think the instructions are different for 7.1 than 7?
[05:52] <osxdude|TX> lol lexmark is DEAD
[05:52] <joules> nickrud: well the funny thing is that its not even lexmark .. its dell
[05:53] <AnRkey> ok 5am and my mind is broken
[05:53] <lethologica> Is there an IIS like tool for apache?
[05:53] <Zaibot> osxdude, When I write "sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst" in the terminal I think it is supposed to be some text, it's empty for me.
[05:53] <AnRkey> g'night everyone or g'morning :D
[05:53] <sedeki> AnRkey 6am here =)
[05:53] <joules> lexmark made copies of their printers and sold them to dell...
[05:53] <AnRkey> lethologica, yes it's called nano
[05:53] <Tamale> wpa supplicant! wifi-radar!  grrr how do I connect to my WPA-protected wap?
[05:53] <AnRkey> haha ciao
[05:53] <nickrud> malocite, maybe. I'm serious, those X folks have been really changing things around
[05:53] <osxdude|TX> Zaibot: you are missing the i in list
[05:53] <sedeki> AnRkey where do you live+
[05:53] <AnRkey> sedeki, london
[05:54] <osxdude|TX> Tamale: ubuntu does not like WPA
[05:54] <malocite> groan... that makes it very hard for me being so freakin green at this
[05:54] <AnRkey> u?
[05:54] <nickrud> osxdude|TX, Zaibot no, it's menu.lst
[05:54] <Tamale> osxdude|TX: awww  how can i make it like it a little more?
[05:54] <sedeki> AnRkey cool. sweden. i'm planning to travel to london soon.
[05:54] <sedeki> go shopping
[05:54] <lethologica> Anrkey, Where is that avaliable?
[05:54] <osxdude|TX> i live in a cityclose to chicago
[05:54] <malocite> nickrud: I don't suppose you know how to install that patch
[05:54] <nickrud> malocite, I have no idea what patch it is.
[05:54] <AnRkey> lethologica, forgive me for being a prats, i am tired. nano is a text editor
[05:54] <lethologica> I am specifically looking for a GUI tool
[05:55] <pawan1234> hi
[05:55] <harris2004> hey guy i have another problem when i am installing anything from add/remove application...when i press apply screen goes gray and i have to press control to get out
[05:55] <lethologica> IIS = GUI
[05:55] <AnRkey> lethologica, try this it's not free though, http://www.apache-gui.com/
[05:55] <osxdude|TX> nickrud...Zaibot's menu.lst has nothing in it!
[05:55] <pawan> hi
[05:55] <malocite> nickrud: its to let you use the tvout on your radeon
[05:55] <zoidberg_> hey guys
[05:55] <lethologica> AnRkey, thanks, but I am looking to stick with the open source stuff, that seems to be one of the major selling points of linux
[05:55] <nickrud> malocite, hrm. No, I don't. Never seen it.
[05:55] <AnRkey> lethologica, then webmin is your friend
[05:56] <zoidberg_> i just downloaded a programing and apparently its a CD imagge that i need to burn
[05:56] <malocite> nickrud: can't you just know everything?  That would make this much easier for me
[05:56] <osxdude|TX> Tamale: Search in the Synaptic Package Manager for a WPA driver then in the WPA driver box for the profile inwifi-radar pur the package neame

[05:56] <lethologica> !webmin + AnRkey
[05:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about webmin + anrkey - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[05:56] <Tamale> osxdude|TX: what driver do I want for my centrino laptop?
[05:56] <nickrud> Zaibot, if you really have nothing in menu.lst, run sudo update-grub
[05:56] <zoidberg_> is there anyway i can just mount the two files in order to install th eprogram...i've done that with .iso images before
[05:56] <milllmannn> what is the command to see what is using what percentage of memory?
[05:56] <osxdude|TX> Tamale: idk...

[05:57] <zoidberg_> any help?
[05:57] <zoidberg_> is there anyway i can just mount the two files in order to install th eprogram...i've done that with .iso images before
[05:57] <Zaibot> nickrud, "No GRUB directory found. To create a template run 'mkdir /boot/grub' first. To install grub, install it manually or try the 'grub-install' command. ### Warning, grub-install is used to change your MBR. ###@
[05:57] <nickrud> malocite, that's if I didn't kill myself because I'd remembered something I shouldn't
[05:57] <osxdude|TX> we should +G this channel
[05:57] <AnRkey> lethologica, there is just nobody managing the package for debian and ubuntu anymore
[05:58] <AnRkey> the guy that did it gave up for some reason
[05:58] <lethologica> Ohh, that blows

[05:58] <AnRkey> lethologica, i use it on ubuntu everyday and it's fine
[05:58] <astro76> zoidberg_, check out the link to convert the bin/cue to iso, then you can mount the iso
[05:58] <lethologica> Ok, I will give it a shot then, thanks
[05:58] <pawan> new screensaver for ubuntu
[05:58] <osxdude|TX> Zaibot: Run the "grub-install" command in a terminal
[05:58] <nickrud> Zaibot, sudo mkdir /boot/grub && sudo update-grub   and then take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst.
[05:58] <Zaibot> nickrud, If it is useful information Windows stopped working due to some hal.dll
[05:59] <zoidberg_> astro76, i know how to mount iso images...i was wondering if you could similarly mount .bin .cue images
[05:59] <nickrud> Zaibot, what I don't know about windows would fill the ocean.
[05:59] <harris2004> hey..guys ..anybody knows why whenever i apply settings in ubuntu..it darkens and nothing happens o i have to press ESC to get out..
[05:59] <Rubin> you can convert one to the other, if nothing else
[05:59] <osxdude|TX> Zaibot...uh oh...you have that problem too
[05:59] <Zaibot> osxdude, nope, I fixed that
[06:00] <osxdude|TX> Harris2004, what?
[06:00] <harris2004> whenever i click preferences or apply settings
[06:00] <osxdude|TX> Zaiboy: goot for you! no rly
[06:00] <harris2004> the screen darkeens
[06:00] <harris2004> and nothing happens
[06:00] <harris2004> like the shutdown effect
[06:00] <AnRkey> lethologica, you can also try cpanel, there is a howto called "the perfect server setup" on howtoforge if u want
[06:01] <joules> goodnight to all
[06:01] <AnRkey> lethologica, cpanel is more for hosting companies though
[06:01] <hexstar> webmin is a good free alternative to cpanel
[06:01] <osxdude|TX> harris2004: are you using beryl or compiz fusion?
[06:01] <harris2004> yeah ia m using beryl
[06:01] <malocite> does the gatos driver for ati support 3d accelleration?  Or can I just stay with the xorg radeon driver
[06:01] <hexstar> in addition to ubumin
[06:01] <pawan> any new screensaver for ubuntu
[06:01] <harris2004> dont know about compiz fusion
[06:02] <AnRkey> lethologica, sorry it's not cpanel it's ispconfig
[06:02] <osxdude|TX> harris2004: disable beryl and try
[06:02] <mrfr0g> I don't think I quite realized how great Ubuntu was, until I finished playing WoW. In fact it played the game better then Windows did. I have been converted...

[06:04] <harris2004> oh yeah it was beryl
[06:04] <hexstar> no that's not easy to debug remotelty unfortunately tarsier
[06:04] <harris2004> do you know why it happened?
[06:04] <aib> tarsier, i don't know much about it, but to say that there is a kernel module that regulates that and your problem is definitely fixable (i've seen it fixed)
[06:04] <osxdude|TX> fez_ install them and then run << sudo nvidia-xconfig >>...use synaptic by searching "nvidia"
[06:04] <sedeki> FoxTrot doh
[06:04] <hexstar> without the <<
[06:04] <mrfr0g> aib: It's definitely a merit of wine that I can play the game so easily. But Ubuntu just made everything so much easier...

[06:15] <zerokill88> can someone please look at this picture and tell me how they have the terminal built into the desktop??    http://gnomelook.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=32459&file1=32459-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=Vista-Gray+%28fixed%29
[06:15] <tyler_d> hexstar: still listed as root root after chgrp
[06:15] <Zaibot> nickrud, Im gonna try to start Ubuntu now, otherwise I'll wait for someone.
[06:15] <Zaibot> Brb
[06:15] <nickrud> Zaibot, luck
[06:15] <hexstar> tyle_d: try sudo chgrp
[06:15] <Zaibot> ty
[06:15] <Toma-> zerokill88: eterm
[06:15] <tyler_d> hexstar: its on an ftp folder, want it to be set to nogroup
[06:15] <hexstar> btw, tyler_d it's sudo chgrp groupname filename
[06:15] <dem0nseed> can some one help me
[06:16] <zerokill88> toma- do i have to download it?
[06:16] <hexstar> so then have it be sudo chgrp nobody filename
[06:16] <JerKB> dem0nseed: did you try /etc/init.d/?dm restart (where ? is either g or k, depending if you're using gdm or kdm)
[06:16] <tyler_d> hexstar: figured the syntax.. but ty
[06:16] <hexstar> tyler_d: np :)
[06:16] <Toma-> zerokill88: well you can look at it online all you like? but yes, you can download it if you want
[06:16] <punsad> what would happen if someone changes the sources.list to debian sources?  I'm pretty sure that would totally screw up the system, right?
[06:16] <tyler_d> hexstar: still listed as root root though
[06:16] <dem0nseed> ok ty
[06:16] <scottDkoDer> astro76: Should you run anjuta as root?
[06:16] <hexstar> tyler_d: that's weird
[06:16] <zerokill88> toma- ok. but would u know how to set it up like that?
[06:16] <astro76> scottDkoDer, no
[06:17] <nickrud> ohine, you do that with pinning: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto and man apt_preferences.
[06:17] <hexstar> scottDkoDer: not unless you have to
[06:17] <scottDkoDer> It says:
[06:17] <Toma-> zerokill88: its pretty simple
[06:17] <nickrud> punsad, you answered it yourself
[06:17] <ohine> nickrud, thanks!
[06:17] <scottDkoDer> It fails with can't create *.o permission denied
[06:17] <punsad> nickrud: just curious if it could somehow work - though I highly doubt it
[06:18] <nickrud> ohine, good luck, it's a deep well :)
[06:18] <zerokill88> toma- it looks like a regular terminal inside a windows still
[06:18] <astro76> scottDkoDer, are you trying to build in a directory your user doesn't have permission to write to?
[06:18] <tyler_d> hexstar: think I got it now... ty mang
[06:18] <ohine> :(
[06:18] <punsad> nickrud: it's just that I noticed that apt-spy is available in ununtu
[06:18] <Toma-> zerokill88: they have eterm and gnome-terminal running
[06:18] <nickrud> punsad, yeah, they pull it all over :)
[06:18] <scottDkoDer> astro76: That was exactly the prob
[06:18] <scottDkoDer> astro76: Thx
[06:19] <punsad> nicrud: which looks for debian sources for maximal bandwidth and rewrites your sources.list
[06:19] <zerokill88> toma- so eterm is the one that has no window?
[06:19] <Toma-> zerokill88: yes
[06:19] <nickrud> punsad, breezy & dapper were not even binary compatible, I'm not sure about etch and feisty.
[06:19] <quaal> what is the best way to search for all files on your computer
[06:19] <scottDkoDer> astro76: Ok, when I try to execute it fails with:
[06:19] <punsad> quaal: find
[06:19] <zerokill88> toma- ok, so eterm gives you the ability to have it windowless.i need to check it out then
[06:19] <scottDkoDer> astro76: No executable for this file.
[06:20] <scottDkoDer> astro76: After successful compile.
[06:20] <quaal> punsad, from command line ?
[06:20] <nickrud> punsad, yeah, I used it (uselessly) on my 3k dialup :)
[06:20] <punsad> quaal: cd / ; find . -name "*filenameofinterest*"
[06:20] <quaal> punsad, thanks
[06:20] <scottDkoDer> Sorry, maybe OT
[06:20] <punsad> nickrud: with a debian system I imagine.  It really works great for debian
[06:21] <zerokill88> toma- once installed how do u run eterm?
[06:21] <astro76> scottDkoDer, not sure, yeah there's an #ubuntu-programming in fact
[06:21] <nickrud> punsad, yes. it's offtopic, but I used unstable for several years before switching to warty.
[06:21] <Toma-> zerokill88: 'Eterm'
[06:21] <pizzaplace> Hi people, could somone recommend and if possible provide some sort of guide for an ftp server for ubuntu installation please - thanks :)
[06:21] <punsad> nickrud: cool.... another debian convert.  I just switched
[06:22] <punsad> nickrud: I'm slowly warming up to ubuntu as a longtime debian user
[06:22] <zerokill88> toma- capitalization ah
[06:22] <xuanfei> hi
[06:23] <xuanfei> everybody here?
[06:23] <punsad> xuanfei: many are here
[06:23] <alexmacg123> Does anyone know where the "gnome-display-properties" app gets its list of screen resolutions from in Feisty?  The list of resolutions/frequencies in the menu is not the same as in my xorg.conf file.
[06:23] <stickto> hi, xuanfei
[06:23] <xuanfei> you can see me
[06:23] <mmcji> hi
[06:23] <nickrud> punsad, It grows on you. For me, it was suddenly not having to integrate stuff, it's done for me. I switched to debian from redhat to get away from rpm hell, and from debian to ubuntu for configuration ease.
[06:23] <stickto> yes, everybody can see you
[06:23] <xuanfei> hehe
[06:23] <zerokill88> toma- sorry but how do u edit it to do that
[06:23] <xuanfei> i am the first
[06:24] <punsad> to the one looking for ftp server, 'apt-cache search ftpd' for your choices
[06:24] <nickrud> alexmacg123, see if they match xrandr 's output
[06:24] <mmcji> im looking for a remote desktop app i can use with ubuntu, something different from vnc or freenx...any opinions?
[06:24] <xuanfei> i frome china
[06:24] <xuanfei> and you?
[06:24] <Toma-> zerokill88: i havent used it in a while sorry. there must be some guides out there on google
[06:24] <zerokill88> toma- ok
[06:24] <alexmacg123> nickrud: they do (at least for the first 16 entries).  Is this where these resolutions come from?
[06:25] <punsad> nickrud: that's funny.. RH6.1 was the first distro I used for sustained period of time.. then I switched to potato.
[06:25] <mmcji> something available via synaptic if at all possible
[06:25] <punsad> xuanfei: what's your problem?
[06:25] <nickrud> alexmacg123, as I understand it, yes. it used to be called the xrandr applet, the thing that changes gnome's resolution

[06:26] <xuanfei> are you here
[06:26] <punsad> xuanfei: how can we (try to) help you
[06:26] <punsad> xuanfei: yes... I am "here"
[06:26] <mmcji> im trying to test https tunneling and want to test using vnc over the tunnel, but would like to have another connection option besides ssh
[06:26] <alexmacg123> nickrud: interesting.  So, where does xrandr get this info from?  The edid or something?
[06:26] <xuanfei> how to use xchat
[06:27] <punsad> xuanfei: can't help you... I use an irc program called bitchx
[06:27] <nickrud> alexmacg123, somewhere in that direction :)
[06:27] <punsad> xuanfei: I don't use xchat at all
[06:27] <pawan> hi
[06:27] <xuanfei> oh i useing xchat
[06:27] <xuanfei> do you have MSN
[06:27] <mmcji> i have used both bitchx and xchat, xchat is allot easier to get going with
[06:27] <punsad> xuanfei: you should look in /usr/share/doc/xchat
[06:28] <xuanfei> OH !THANKS
[06:28] <mmcji> bitchx is very powerful thou
[06:28] <punsad> xuanfei: the directory /usr/share/doc has documentation for all programs
[06:28] <xuanfei> do you have msn id
[06:28] <alexmacg123> nickrud: thanks for your help.  I guess there's no point in messing around with my xorg.conf file to get rid of non-working video modes in the prefs panel then...
[06:28] <punsad> xuanfei: no... chatting on irc is enough for me
[06:28] <nickrud> alexmacg123, no
[06:29] <xuanfei> but many people
[06:29] <keen101> 1021 people in this room. wow!
[06:29] <mmcji> i used bitchx to setup a irc channel at work, but we did not use it that much...but that was running on a fc5 box
[06:29] <zerokill88> toma- not sure exactly how to google this but what would you call what the eterm is doing?
[06:29] <xuanfei> where are you from

[06:31] <Pelo> eugman,  I think you can do it running mplayer from cli
[06:31] <orbisvicis> eugman, you need a decent framebuffer
[06:31] <orbisvicis> and mplayer
[06:31] <dibblego> is it possible to allow a user to open a listening socket without sudoing?
[06:31] <Scunizi> zerokill88, interesting screen shot.. what is eterm? which portion of the screen shot
[06:31] <xuanfei> xuanfei.culog.cn

[06:33] <punsad> xuanfei: I have to go away for a sec.  I don't have MSN.

[06:33] <Scunizi> zerokill88, yep transparancy
[06:33] <Pelo> mindframe,  sorry  I mean here  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[06:33] <zerokill88> nickrud does transparency take away the close bottons etc..?
[06:33] <b0xii> k-anything is ajdfaldsjf;asdf
[06:33] <keen101> anyone know how to fix a DCOP communications error for KDE applications in GNOME?
[06:33] <xuanfei> wait
[06:33] <Zaibot> nickrud, I still got the same error (error 22) :(
[06:33] <digitalsky> a few problems though: first... if i plug in an SD card to USB (via a USB card reader), shouldn't a window pop up with the contents of the SD card when linux detects it?
[06:33] <Scunizi> zerokill88, decorations do.
[06:33] <xuanfei> where
[06:33] <digitalsky> it's not happening in my machine =(
[06:34] <xuanfei> wait me
[06:34] <eugman> Well it kinda works but there's just a few bits of text everywhere
[06:34] <zerokill88> scunizi how would i set that up?
[06:34] <nickrud> zerokill88, that doesn't look like gnome & metacity; some window managers you can tell an app to have no borders
[06:34] <zerokill88> nickrud oh, would you know of any of hand?
[06:34] <eugman> orbiscis, will look into those
[06:34] <masterloki> thanks
[06:34] <Pelo> digitalsky,  I don'T think it is just you,  check in the forum
[06:34] <Scunizi> zerokill88, that I don't have an answer to.  do you want to close it?
[06:34] <xuanfei> here?
[06:34] <digitalsky> hmm ok
[06:35] <xuanfei> here?
[06:35] <b0xii> digitalsky: what window manager
[06:35] <nickrud> zerokill88, sawfish for one (it was the wm for gnome before metacity)
[06:35] <zerokill88> scunizi no i want my terminal to be transparent like that
[06:35] <digitalsky> it's a fresh kubuntu install. haven't done anything to it
[06:35] <Zaibot> When I try to start Ubuntu after installation, I get this message; "GRUB stage1.5  error 22"
[06:36] <b0xii> irssi users out there...how do i block all the messages showing users joining and leaving the channel?
[06:36] <Scunizi> zerokill88, ah...  that may be a function of beryl.  I'm running Dapper not Feisty so I haven't played with it much. Compiz use to have transparancy.
[06:36] <techjim> hey guys, believe it or not, my friend's windblows installation is unbootale-even in safemode.  he doesn't want to install another OS.  can I download/use ntfs-3g off of 6.10 livecd

[06:42] <mmcji> digitalsky: as a longtime freebsd user myself, i think you will be very happy with Ubuntu for the most part!
[06:42] <Tony> I am having issues with setting up grub on a SATA drive.
[06:42] <orbisvicis> xuanfei, what up
[06:42] <aib> xuanfei is asking why no one is in the chinese ubuntu channel
[06:42] <sk_> what program do you guys use to burn cds
[06:43] <b0xii> probably because we live in the free world
[06:43] <nickrud> k3b, serpentine
[06:43] <orbisvicis> oh
[06:43] <Scunizi> Tony, do you have more than one drive?
[06:43] <xuanfei> yes
[06:43] <xuanfei> why
[06:43] <nickrud> sk_, ^^
[06:43] <mmcji> my webserver for the past two years has been a ubuntu box starteding with 4.10, beside the vnc keyboard issue i haven't had any real issues
[06:43] <Tony> Scunizi: yes
[06:43] <xuanfei> i am a fresh
[06:43] <aib> xuanfei, ???????????,???,???????. ?????????????: )
[06:43] <Scunizi> Tony, are they both sata? or is one an ide?
[06:43] <xuanfei> can you help me
[06:43] <jerbull> sivik with https it wont load the page
[06:44] <sk_> nickrud: is that only for audio ?
[06:44] <aib> i said to him, "Use Google Translate to convert your message to english and then post it here. You can also translate our messages to chinese :)"
[06:44] <Tony> but I can only use one of them - and that one is partitioned into two - one partition holds the OS, the other some data
[06:44] <xuanfei> i am the first using Xchat
[06:44] <Tony> no, they are all SATA
[06:44] <Tony> the only IDE connections on my machine are the CD/DVD burners
[06:44] <xuanfei> so i don't know how to use
[06:44] <aib> xuanfei, http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en
[06:45] <Scunizi> Tony, if you don't use my nick, what you type will get lost in the noise..:)  sounds like grub might be on the wrong partition. Hang on and I'll get you a link.
[06:45] <xuanfei> what
[06:45] <digitalsky> mmcji: yea i certainly hope so. i dun have so much time to spend figuring out every single detail
[06:45] <xuanfei> aib
[06:45] <jerbull> #ubuntu-server
[06:45] <xuanfei> where are you from
[06:45] <Tony> Scunizi: hehe, my apologies about that
[06:45] <mmcji> ubuntu-server is what is using right now
[06:45] <Zaibot> When I try to start Ubuntu after installation, I get this message; "GRUB stage1.5  error 22"
[06:45] <mmcji> i just install xfce4 and a few tools
[06:45] <Tony> Scunizi: I tried this link; https://wiki.kubuntu.org/phbc50/howtos/how-to_reinstall_grub
[06:45] <Scunizi> Tony, http:/;/users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm really helped me a lot.
[06:45] <Tony> Scunizi: to no avail
[06:46] <amicrawler> need help please
[06:46] <aib> xuanfei, http://local.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=Boulder,+Co&daddr=&sll=39.996123,-105.267199&sspn=0.007389,0.013475&ie=UTF8&z=12&om=1
[06:46] <orbisvicis> xuanfei, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/IRC/beginners.html#AEN188
[06:46] <jerbull> how do i join a new room?
[06:46] <aib> xuanfei, use this: http://www.google.cn/language_tools?hl=zh-CN
[06:46] <amicrawler> my printer  hp4  keeps going to pc load a4
[06:46] <catfacts> type /join
[06:46] <IndyGunFreak> "/join #channel_name"  no quotes
[06:46] <Scunizi> Tony, It's actually pretty easy.  He even advocates installing grub on each bootable harddrive "just in case". It's saved me twice so far.
[06:46] <dstadulis> "/join #channelname
[06:46] <amicrawler> it is connected via usb
[06:46] <amicrawler> hp4
[06:46] <Tony> Scunizi: I will give that a try - thank you!
[06:47] <Scunizi> Tony, np
[06:47] <xuanfei> thank you aib and orbisvicis
[06:47] <orbisvicis> i need a better chair.
[06:48] <sivik> jerbull, what is the url and the login information
[06:48] <orbisvicis> can anyone help with this:  * OpenBSD Secure Shell server not in use (/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run)
[06:48] <mmcji> i got tired of all the ego's in the FreeBSD irc channel.  hey when you have googled, wiki'd, read through the manual and then you come to a irc channel to ask a question, it is very very bad to have everyone give you a hard time, just because you had the nerve to ask a question.  I once got banned from that channel for asking how to compile apache from source.
[06:48] <jerbull> sivik can we go to a private room
[06:49] <b0xii> mmcji: just like #debian for countless years
[06:49] <orbisvicis> .. im not understanding the reason. ssh vnc etc all give me connection refused. but no firewall
[06:49] <b0xii> mmcji: #debian has gotten much better though in the last couple of years
[06:49] <sivik> i just pmed u
[06:49] <mmcji> that is sad, but I DO believe that some of the channels are getting better.
[06:49] <mmcji> yeah
[06:50] <bullgard4> On my Ubuntu 7.04 computer there is a directory '/home/detlef/Desktop/Downloads/DEBS/'. It contains 29 files. All hav in their names  'openoffice.org', '2.1' and '.deb'. I am using OpenOffice.org version 2.2. Are these 29 files now outdated and useless? Why didn't OpenOffice.or 2.2 erase them automatically?
[06:51] <preaction> bullgard4, once a program is installed, the .deb files are basically useless (unless you need to install again)
[06:51] <Scunizi> bullgard4, if nobody knows, try #go-00
[06:51] <Scunizi> *#go-oo
[06:51] <jerbull> sivik?
[06:52] <mmcji> but i think it is really be cause of Ubuntu.  a new user can come to a ubuntu channel, " i do not visit often" but a new user can come, ask a question and get an answer, normally from from i see, a really good answer, allong with a url to extra doc's on what that person is trying to do.  It really is about the community, and the better the community the more developers, the better the code base, etc...
[06:52] <Scunizi> jerbull, are you using xchat? if so look at the tabs and see if you see one with sivik's name. that's the PM channel he's opened.
[06:52] <preaction> mmcji, the ubuntu way works for ubuntu, the freebsd way works for freebsd. caveat emptor
[06:52] <jerbull> i see it but hes not responding
[06:52] <bullgard4> Scunizi: What do you mean with '#go-00'?
[06:53] <orbisvicis> youve got to be registered on freenode
[06:53] <Scunizi> bullgard4, that's the channel for open office.  There's usually a few dev's there that would know.
[06:53] <mmcji> that is true
[06:53] <winbond> does anyone use the nvidia 8600 series card?
[06:53] <BrendanM> Does anyone know if there's a way to connect to a machine with SSH, use an X app, and then disconnect and leave it running to reconnect later? I'm looking for something like Screen but for GUI X apps.
[06:53] <BrendanM> !screen
[06:53] <ubotu> screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[06:53] <Scunizi> bullgard4, it's actually #go-oo as in oh, oh,... not zero
[06:53] <sivik> screen is fun in putty
[06:54] <b0xii> BrendanM: ssh -Y ?
[06:54] <jerbull> sivik i got ur pm
[06:54] <orbisvicis> hm anyone w/ ssh server, does /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run exist for you?
[06:54] <preaction> BrendanM, most GUI apps allow you to specify the --display to use. normally though you have to be root in order to hijack another display like that (if it even works)
[06:54] <b0xii> BrendanM: or maybe i'm not understanding your question
[06:54] <BrendanM> b0xii, that forwards X apps, but when you close your SSH session, it kills the gui app
[06:54] <xJPM100x> k, I woke up minute ago to find my screensaver locked up and scroll lock and caps lock blinking, whats that mean?
[06:54] <preaction> BrendanM, you will, of course, want to run it with nohup
[06:55] <xJPM100x> and I had to reset my pc
[06:55] <b0xii> BrendanM: yes, i see... don't know what you need then
[06:55] <dvdadmin> anyone think that kde is buggy
[06:55] <jerbull> dvd yea
[06:55] <b0xii> dvdadmin: always
[06:55] <BrendanM> preaction, will that work? launching it with &?
[06:55] <jerbull> dvd go with gnome
[06:55] <Scunizi> dvdadmin, in what way?
[06:55] <dvdadmin> i always do or xfce
[06:56] <mmcji> BUT unless you continually bring new folks into the fold, as the old ones move on, your pool to draw on will shrink for developers eventually to the point where it becomes hard to continue to move forward.  Just look at Be.  Great product, still going with it's offshoots, but nothing like the growth seen with ubuntu.
[06:56] <jerbull> dvd lots of apps crash unexpectedly
[06:56] <preaction> BrendanM, i said nohup, not &
[06:56] <orbisvicis> xJPM100x, most likely kernel panic
[06:56] <bullgard4> preaction: When loading a DEB program package from a repository, what is the file name that program package that is transported from repository onto my computer?
[06:56] <mmcji> just my 2cents
[06:56] <b0xii> dvdadmin: unless you're hurting for resources, go gnome or xfce...otherwise go flux
[06:56] <BrendanM> I've never used nohup, how does it work?
[06:56] <preaction> bullgard4, huh?
[06:56] <dvdadmin> I am intrigued by someone saying that kde can run mac os dashboard though
[06:56] <Felarin> bullgard4: Try sudo dpkg -l | grep [packagename] 
[06:57] <Felarin> bullgard4: sudo dpkg -l | grep [packagename] 
[06:57] <dvdadmin> kde 4.0?
[06:57] <xJPM100x> what would cause it though, I wasn't even using my pc, I was asleep?
[06:57] <orbisvicis> how do i find the packages responsible for /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run ?
[06:57] <sivik> can anyone here ping sivik.no-ip.org
[06:57] <preaction> BrendanM, it stands for "no hangup", basically if the terminal that started the program gets terminated, the program will still run
[06:57] <jerbull> anyone know how to configure apache2 with .htaccess
[06:57] <mmcji> anyone have any other suggestions on remote desktop software besides vnc and freenx?
[06:57] <preaction> jerbull, AllowOverride All, otherwise try #apache
[06:57] <orbisvicis> 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1003ms
[06:57] <b0xii> brb...hitting up the fridge for another tallboy
[06:57] <BrendanM> preaction, cool, that sounds like exactly what I wanted. How would I reconnect then?
[06:58] <amicrawler> how do i get this  a4 off so it does not print to a4
[06:58] <bullgard4> preaction: When loading a DEB program package from a repository, what is the file name of that program package that is transported from repository onto my computer?
[06:58] <Scunizi> sivik, no problem, done.. .45 ms
[06:58] <preaction> BrendanM, what do you mean? you wouldn't. you would not get to actually USE that application unless you were at the computer. you just started it.
[06:58] <BelialMkII> What package does ubuntu use for printer detection / installation. I run gentoo on my laptop, and goto many different places, its network printing discovery would be very useful
[06:58] <amicrawler> hello any body here ?>
[06:58] <bullgard4> Felarin: Why do you suggest to do that command?
[06:58] <sivik> BelialMkII, cups
[06:59] <sivik> amicrawler, there are alot of ppl here, whats your problem or issue?
[06:59] <Scunizi> amicrawler, what application
[06:59] <BelialMkII> sivik, i meant what frontend for gnome
[06:59] <amicrawler> kde print
[06:59] <amicrawler> my printer keeps going to a4
[06:59] <sivik> BelialMkII, i don't normally use a front-end
[06:59] <ohine> any know how I could convert the mood files to images?
[06:59] <ohine> from moodbar
[06:59] <preaction> bullgard4, uhm, why do you need to know that? i don't understand what you need to know. do you want the folder they're downloaded to? /var/apt/cache if i remember correctly. otherwise the file is different for each package
[06:59] <amicrawler> it is letter on the computer
[06:59] <Felarin> bullgard4: to get the package name
[06:59] <malocite> how can I find out which version ati driver I have installed
[06:59] <amicrawler> do i need to reload cups
[07:00] <BrendanM> preaction, well like say if wanted to connect with SSH, start up Azureus, do some stuff, then disconnect and let it run for a few hours, but then reconnect and check on it/start more torrents or something
[07:00] <Scunizi> amicrawler, try through the web browser. go to localhost:631. that should be your printer interface. find printer and defaults and change it there.
[07:00] <orbisvicis> which one ... dpkg-xxx queries for package belonging to file ?
[07:00] <bullgard4> Felarin: Ok, understood. Thank you.
[07:00] <dstadulis> if I compile a program for the first time, like ndiswrapper, and I want to run it (like ndiswrapper -i driver.inf) do I need to use modprobe to add it to the list of modules
[07:00] <coolpyrofreak> dstadulis: yes
[07:00] <dstadulis> if I compile a program for the first time, like ndiswrapper, and I want to run it (like ndiswrapper -i driver.inf) do I need to use modprobe to add it to the list of modules
[07:00] <preaction> BrendanM, i would suggest screen and rtorrent for that
[07:00] <yargyarg> hi guys
[07:01] <radioaktivstorm> question: can Helix play real media? or will i need to get realplayer?
[07:01] <BrendanM> preaction, I actually am using screen and rtorrent right now. But Azureus offers some features rtorrent doesn't that I really like.
[07:01] <yargyarg> i need help rescuing the ubuntu intallation
[07:01] <BrendanM> preaction, but there are other examples of GUI apps that I'd like to be able to start, leave running, and return to.
[07:01] <yargyarg> my grub in mbr was from fedora
[07:01] <coolpyrofreak> radioaktivstorm: real works better.  helix doesn't work too well with rm
[07:01] <dstadulis> coolpyrofreak: thank you
[07:02] <b0xii> radioaktivstorm: helix used to do better than it does now
[07:02] <coolpyrofreak> dstadulis: np
[07:02] <preaction> BrendanM, perhaps instead try launching azureus inside a screen session so you can connect to the same terminal and have control of the azereus process?
[07:02] <n2diy> ! grub | yargyarg
[07:02] <ubotu> yargyarg: 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
[07:02] <Scunizi> BrendanM, I'm not sure where to point you, but I've read on a couple of sites dealing with SSH that there is a switch to use to do just that.
[07:02] <preaction> BrendanM, how can you even use them though? you're on a text-only terminal with no X forwarding. all you can do is basically start, stop, or send remote commands if the program allows that
[07:02] <yargyarg> thx
[07:02] <radioaktivstorm> coolpyrofreak, thanks . i guess ill have to get realplayer then
[07:03] <radioaktivstorm> b0xii, used to do better? what happend to it?
[07:03] <preaction> BrendanM, perhaps VNC or RDP would be easier to use? you can use both with an existing X session iirc
[07:03] <jerbull> theres no one in the server rooms
[07:03] <coolpyrofreak> radioaktivstorm: kmplayer works well too
[07:03] <sivik> vlc is better
[07:04] <radioaktivstorm> oh vlc plays real?
[07:04] <preaction> jerbull, you need to wait longer than 2 minutes
[07:04] <sivik> missed that, sorry
[07:04] <jetscreamer> mplayer>*
[07:04] <mmcji> vlc rocks!
[07:04] <ianmcorvidae> *coughmpdcough*
[07:04] <BrendanM> preaction, you can forward X through SSH. I do it all the time. It works fantastically.
[07:04] <preaction> BrendanM, yes, but can you connect to an existing X session through SSH?
[07:04] <dstadulis> nooo only 20minutes of battery life left
[07:05] <BrendanM> preaction, I don't know! That's what I'm asking!
[07:05] <bullgard4> preaction: My wording was bad. I mean: When loading a DEB program package from a repository, what is the extension of the file name of that program package that is transported from repository onto my computer?
[07:05] <preaction> BrendanM, which is why i'm recommending RDP or VNC instead
[07:05] <IndyGunFreak> anybody know how to repair the vista boot loader
[07:05] <IndyGunFreak> does fixmbr and fixboot still work?
[07:05] <Scunizi> bullgard4, should be .deb
[07:05] <preaction> bullgard4, are you asking what files are installed to your computer from a package? or are you asking where the package is put on your computer?
[07:06] <BrendanM> preaction, yeah, but then I have to run an X server on the box. If I just forward X, the X server is running on the remote machine.
[07:06] <n2diy> bullgard4: .deb
[07:06] <preaction> BrendanM, the client program goes away when the X server goes away. this will not work
[07:06] <Zaibot> IndyGunFreak, try "bootcfg /rebuild" in recovery console
[07:06] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[07:07] <radioaktivstorm> cool. i tried my mplayer on the real media.... it didnt like it.
[07:07] <bullgard4> preaction: I am interested to know where the package is put on my computer.
[07:07] <BrendanM> preaction, fair enough.
[07:07] <n2diy> How can you determine which printer port is active, lshw doesn't show it, and I can't find it listed in dmesg either?
[07:07] <sappho> hello everyone
[07:08] <Aren> hello sappho
[07:08] <preaction> bullgard4, by default, /var/apt/cache. i believe that apt-get clear will clear out that cache
[07:08] <bullgard4> n2diy: Ok, Thank you.
[07:08] <sappho> i just installed weechat on my ubuntu machine, and now i'm trying to install it through cygwin on a windows machine
[07:08] <orbisvicis> dlocate rocks. thanks all
[07:08] <sappho> anyone with cygwin skills to help me out?
[07:08] <tupa> bullgard4 it is apt-get clean
[07:09] <IndyGunFreak> anybody want to try and work out a grub problem, this is driving me nuts
[07:09] <bullgard4> tupa: I don't believe that your answer is correct.
[07:10] <orbisvicis> woot ssh works
[07:10] <tupa> bullgard4 then don't take my word and read the fking manual
[07:10] <bullgard4> tupa: I will do. Thank you very much.
[07:11] <n2diy> ! noob | tupa
[07:11] <ubotu> tupa: Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[07:11] <osmosis> what is , Probably buggy MP table.
[07:11] <radioaktivstorm> why does sensible-browser give konqueror priority over my xfce default when im in xubuntu?
[07:12] <david__> Hi, somebody can help me, I'm having problems with xorg.conf, i wanna clone my primary screen on svideo-out... how can i do that?
[07:13] <|_ocke> anyone wanna play jumpnbump? i wanna figure out how to do it netplay
[07:13] <b0xii> radioaktivstorm: cuz you installed a bunch of K-crap
[07:14] <Aren> |_ocke, what's the game like?
[07:14] <tupa> didn't tried to be mean bullgard4, my apologies, my info was correct, you can read the man anytime !
[07:14] <xwind> hey
[07:14] <xwind> any linux gurus?
[07:14] <radioaktivstorm> b0xii: was testing it out lol.
[07:15] <david__> ermmm
[07:15] <sedeki> xwind just ask =)
[07:15] <david__> what can i do to clone my screen on svideo-out?
[07:15] <xwind> is there a way to password protect a shutdown?
[07:15] <b0xii> radioaktivstorm: yeah, i just stay away from that bloated crap
[07:15] <venish> hey can anybody tell me how to get an icon bar on my desktop?
[07:15] <|_ocke> Aren, its a fun, simple multiplayer platform game
[07:15] <malocite> are the gatos drivers now part of xorg by default?
[07:15] <n2diy> xwind:  we're all learning, just like you.
[07:15] <radioaktivstorm> its incredibly hard to change things like theme... i dont see why i should have to compile my theme and stuff...
[07:15] <|_ocke> the object is to jump on eachothers head to frag them
[07:15] <xwind> cool
[07:15] <radioaktivstorm> T_T
[07:15] <bullgard4> tupa: All right. I appreciate Ubuntu's policy to be friendly to each other.
[07:15] <|_ocke> the only controls are left right and jump
[07:15] <venish> icon pannel bar
[07:15] <sedeki> xwind you can modify sudo
[07:15] <Aren> |_ocke, lol sounds fun XD
[07:15] <sedeki> sudo.conf
[07:15] <|_ocke> very simple, quick, and lots of fun
[07:15] <Aren> |_ocke, i'll try it with you
[07:16] <|_ocke> Aren, sudo apt-get install jumpnbump jumpnbump-levels
[07:16] <tupa> bullgard4, why do you need to know where apt cache is stored?
[07:16] <b0xii> radioaktivstorm: it's not so tough, you gain so much from xfce performance wise, it's worth the extra effort
[07:16] <xwind> im not sure im up to par with that one anything more straight forward?
[07:16] <amicrawler> hey guys i can print doc  but not pdf files
[07:16] <|_ocke> i want to get more levels
[07:16] <amicrawler> even basic ones
[07:16] <Aren> |_ocke, -Aren- VERSION xchat 2.8.2 Linux 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 [x86_64/1.67GHz/SMP]    =P
[07:16] <|_ocke> oh
[07:16] <|_ocke> um
[07:16] <Aren> don't worry
[07:16] <Aren> I've got it covered
[07:16] <|_ocke> it probably has a gentoo package too, or you can just download it easily
[07:17] <radioaktivstorm> b0xii: i like xfce. i was commenting on kde.... i dont get it. compling the kde themes... its too much for too little
[07:17] <Aren> |_ocke, yeah it's already installing
[07:17] <|_ocke> i like xfce too for low memory systems
[07:17] <|_ocke> im running kde now though since i got 512mb
[07:17] <venish> can anybody tell me how to get an icon pannel bar on the bottom of my desktops with icons only?
[07:17] <|_ocke> anyone else want to play?
[07:18] <radioaktivstorm> venish... what desktop environment?
[07:18] <n2diy> venish: is the panel on top now? Right click it, and then properties.
[07:18] <b0xii> radioaktivstorm: oic, sorry for the mixup...
[07:18] <b0xii> radioaktivstorm: i'm on my 10th tallboy
[07:18] <radioaktivstorm> lol thats cool ^^
[07:18] <venish> n2diy: yes its in top
[07:19] <venish> n2diy: ok done i clicked properties next...
[07:19] <bullgard4> tupa: I do not need to know where apt cache is stored. I do not even know for sure what 'apt  cache' is. At the outset I explained my problem: I have got a DEBS desktop directory  on my computer. I wanted to know if this is outdated and can be deleted without doubt.
[07:19] <n2diy> venish:  Right click it, and then properties, and put it on the bottom.
[07:19] <amicrawler> hello doesn any body find this strange
[07:19] <venish> n2diy: ok its on the bottom what now..
[07:19] <preaction> bullgard4, and i said at the very beginning, yes. they are only needed to install a program, if the program is installed you do not need them anymore
[07:19] <xwind> how to password protect a shutdown?
[07:19] <dvdadmin> ubuntu looks sweet with mac os x icons and desktop effects enabled
[07:20] <b0xii> dvdadmin: yes'r
[07:20] <Frogzoo> xwind: good question - pretty sure you can lock gnome down so user can't access it
[07:20] <|_ocke> Aren, i started a server
[07:20] <n2diy> venish:  If you want to add stuff to it, drap them to the panel, from the menu.
[07:20] <n2diy> drap/drag
[07:20] <bullgard4> preaction: Ok, thank you for repeating and explaining. I am going to delete it now.
[07:20] <b0xii> dvdadmin: and flux looks sweet period
[07:20] <venish> n2diy i know but i only want the icons on the bottom and my apps and astuff on top
[07:20] <Aren> |_ocke, what's the address?
[07:20] <dvdadmin> transparent windows?
[07:20] <xwind> frogzoo so when i decided to shut the comp down it will require a password?
[07:20] <venish> n2diy: like the mac icon candy bar
[07:21] <dvdadmin> I have not used flux b4 but seen the screenshot only
[07:21] <n2diy> venish: sorry, not familiar with Macs, play around with right clicking, drag and drop etc...?
[07:21] <b0xii> dvdadmin: saves all sorts of memory and cpu
[07:21] <Frogzoo> xwind: I don't know more details - 2 places to look though 1) gconf editor, 2) ubuntu's howto help pages for the corporate environment
[07:21] <tupa> bullgard4, okey, preaction just cleared it out for you
[07:22] <Zaibot> When I start Ubuntu after install, I get this message: "GRUB Loading stage 1.5  GRUB loading, please wait...  Error 22". I have tried reinstalling Ubuntu.
[07:22] <venish> n2diy: can i send u an example of what i am looking for?
[07:22] <RickH> n2diy:  How can you right-click on a Mac?  They only have one-button mice. :P
[07:22] <dvdadmin> i will play around with it a vm to test it out
[07:22] <Frogzoo> xwind: google too
[07:22] <tom__>  Does anyone know the insider developmental status of  the firewire driver especially as to how soon Pro audio firewire interfaces such as M-Audio or Edirol connects might be up and working?
[07:22] <dvdadmin> ctrl + click
[07:22] <xwind> tried
[07:22] <xwind> theres not a whole lot out there
[07:22] <dvdadmin> RickH: ctrl + click = right click
[07:22] <amicrawler> rick  you hold down the control and click with mouse
[07:22] <bullgard4> tupa: Yes, and I am thankful to him. Thank you again.
[07:22] <RickH> dvdadmin:  I know, it was a joke.  Apples no longer use one-button mouses.
[07:23] <amicrawler> or enable in sys prefs
[07:23] <n2diy> venish: no, I don't want to mess around with my desktop, be an explorer. :)
[07:23] <adam> Can anyone help me with a WiFi problem? The access points show, so I assume the card is working, although I cannot connect to my AP.
[07:23] <Peyton_> One button ;-D
[07:23] <n2diy> RickH: I don't know!! :)
[07:23] <amicrawler> rich click is not enabled by default
[07:23] <shams> I have installed mysql using synaptic but I don't know how to configure it.
[07:23] <RickH> shams:  try "man mysql" ??? :)
[07:24] <b0xii> adam:  what sort of encryption?
[07:24] <adam> none
[07:24] <b0xii> hrm
[07:24] <dvdadmin> btw guys I want to ask can xscreensaver run a adobe flash 8/9 file?
[07:24] <adam> yeh
[07:24] <b0xii> adam, no MAC blocks i assume
[07:24] <Zaibot> When I start Ubuntu after install, I get this message: "GRUB Loading stage 1.5  GRUB loading, please wait...  Error 22". I have tried reinstalling Ubuntu several times.
[07:24] <venish> n2diy: yes i understand take a look at this, i want my icons to look like this  http://i17.tinypic.com/4zatkhv.jpg
[07:24] <venish> n2diy: click that link i sent you
[07:24] <amicrawler> error 22 mean you got harddrive issues
[07:25] <n2diy> venish: sigh, ok.
[07:25] <b0xii> adam:  what's the AP brand?
[07:25] <venish> n2diy: lol
[07:25] <adam> netgear
[07:25] <b0xii> meh
[07:25] <venish> n2diy: what do i do to get it like that
[07:25] <|_ocke> netgear :P
[07:25] <adam> yeah
[07:25] <shams> RichiH, does it say anything regarding the root password?
[07:26] <tupa> shams, mysql default password is blank
[07:26] <adam> well, it worked win i had windoze on it
[07:26] <tupa> shams
[07:26] <b0xii> of course
[07:26] <tupa> root default password
[07:26] <adam> lol
[07:26] <tupa> *
[07:26] <shams> tupa, I tried that but it doesn't work with this command: mysql -u root -p
[07:27] <n2diy> venish: I don't know!? How did you draw the lines and arrow, that is cool!
[07:27] <RickH> shams:  I don't know.  Never used MySQl.
[07:27] <adam> so the AP matters in linux?
[07:27] <venish> n2diy: um...gimp
[07:27] <tupa> shams because root doesn't have password yet :P, try it without the -p
[07:27] <venish> n2diy: are you serious? you dont know how to get your icons like that
[07:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Zaibot: are you running raid setup?
[07:27] <b0xii> adam:  it really shouldn't, but netgear is such crap
[07:27] <shams> tupa, nope.
[07:27] <venish> does anybody know how to make ur icon bar look like this   http://i17.tinypic.com/4zatkhv.jpg
[07:27] <Frogzoo> xwind: didn't look too hard: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users/
[07:28] <shams>  Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'
[07:28] <Zaibot> Jack_Sparrow, no, I'm not
[07:28] <n2diy> venish: Gimp! If you can use Gimp, your a head of me! Yes, it is true, I don't customize my desktop. :)
[07:28] <tom__> <bullgard4: I believe the cache you are asking about is in /var/cache.  It is very useful to run { updatedb } regularly so that the {locate } command can reveal alot about the files.
[07:28] <venish> n2diy: benchod chutiya
[07:28] <xwind> Frogzoo: thanks man i guess i was looking in the wrong place
[07:28] <adam> i cant switch from PS to gimp
[07:28] <n2diy> venish: ???
[07:29] <venish> n2diy: sorry typo
[07:29] <b0xii> RickH: /me loves Lightroom and Cool Edit Pro
[07:29] <n2diy> venish: Multiple typos it appearl? ;)
[07:29] <venish> does anybody know how to make an icon bar look like this http://i17.tinypic.com/4zatkhv.jpg
[07:29] <RickH> b0xii:  Does CEP work for Linux?
[07:29] <n2diy> appearl/appears
[07:30] <b0xii> RickH: that would rock, i've never tried....it should though, it's like 15 years old
[07:30] <n2diy> ! CEP
[07:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cep - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:30] <RickH> b0xii:  CEP is less than 10 years old.  I used to have a copy, about 2 years before Cool Edit 2000 came out.
[07:30] <bullgard4> tom__: Is it /var/cache or /var/apt/cache?  --  I  believe that updatedb is run every morning on my computer automatically after switching on.
[07:30] <n2diy> How can you determine which printer port is active, lshw doesn't show it, and I can't find it listed in dmesg either?
[07:30] <RickH> b0xii:  sony bought CEP at one point.  I lost track of it then.
[07:30] <mongo> Is this a good place for an IRC noob to start :)
[07:31] <b0xii> RickH: no dude, CEP was around when i was in high school, 19 years ago
[07:31] <RickH> mongo:  Sometimes.  The group around here can be Feisty. heheeh :)
[07:31] <Aren> mongo, everyone has to start somewhere
[07:31] <tupa> shams, probably you forgot the password?: try this http://www.v7n.com/forums/dedicated-servers/3133-linux-reset-mysql-password.html
[07:31] <adam> lol
[07:31] <RickH> b0xii:  Yes, but it was around as recently as 2000, that's what I meant.
[07:31] <adam> feisty like a fawn
[07:31] <adam> b0xii: brb phone
[07:31] <tupa> shams, instead of safe_mysqld it is mysqld_safe
[07:31] <n2diy> Things can get Edgy here too.
[07:32] <n2diy> Long live Dapper!
[07:32] <eboyjr> Hmm.. Why is it that eventually or when something happens, keys cannot be held down? Only pressed once.
[07:32] <mongo> Can anyone recommend a good IRC client for Ubuntu?
[07:32] <Peyton_> xchat
[07:32] <b0xii> irssi
[07:32] <mneptok> irssi
[07:32] <RickH> mongo:  I like xchat
[07:32] <venish> RickH: do you know how to get your icons to look like this http://i17.tinypic.com/4zatkhv.jpg
[07:32] <bastid_raZor> Xchat
[07:33] <mongo> Thanks
[07:33] <n2diy> Ohhh, Woody, a distant cousin.
[07:33] <jonesresidence_> Hey guys, my proftpd.log file is loaded with login attempts, IP addresses all the way from Taiwan, and US, and other places, are these people port scanning?
[07:33] <Optimus55> is t here a way to show active connections in terminal?
[07:33] <tom__> I'm not certain but take a look in the dpkg man. Also maybe run a { apropos }.
[07:33] <RickH> venish:  That's a theme in XFCE I believe.
[07:33] <Optimus55> like netstat
[07:33] <RickH> Xubuntu
[07:33] <mneptok> jonesresidence_: why are you running FTP?
[07:33] <xwind> is programing with python done strickly through the terminal?
[07:33] <Peyton_> No, xwind.
[07:33] <b0xii> ftp? full tilt poker!
[07:33] <RickH> xwind:  You can write anything in any IDE.
[07:33] <venish> RickH: no, i mean iwant to set up my icons like that in a bar type
[07:33] <xwind> IDE?
[07:33] <Peyton_> Integrated Development Environment
[07:33] <jonesresidence_> mnetok, for fun
[07:34] <RickH> xwind:  Integrated Developmental Environment.  It has text editors, syntax highlighting, etc.
[07:34] <mneptok> jonesresidence_: Bad Idea(tm)
[07:34] <RickH> xwind:  Like Anjuta, Eclipse, etc.
[07:34] <jonesresidence_> haha
[07:34] <Aren> jonesresidence_, they're looking for insecure ftp accounts
[07:34] <jonesresidence_> Tell me why
[07:34] <Zaibot> When I start Ubuntu after install, I get this message: "GRUB Loading stage 1.5  GRUB loading, please wait...  Error 22". I have tried reinstalling Ubuntu several times. I am installing Ubuntu on my IDE drive,  where Windows is already installed. This has worked before, and the only difference is that my IDE drive no longer is on top of the list, it's on the bottom now.
[07:34] <Aren> if they find one, they'll turn your computer into a warez shop
[07:34] <Peyton_> xwind: But what exactly do you mean by, "is programming with python done straight through the terminal"?
[07:34] <RickH> venish: You're talking about putting them in the equivalent of a Mac Doc?
[07:34] <mneptok> jonesresidence_: it's a well known protocol on a well known port that's 100% unencrypted
[07:34] <RickH> Dock?
[07:34] <b0xii> Zaibot: check your bios
[07:35] <RickH> venish:  I do believe that's an XFCE ability by default or plugin.
[07:35] <jonesresidence_> So how do i know if my system has been compromised
[07:35] <Frogzoo> jonesresidence_: if you're on the net, you will get constant portscans - especially when they find open ports
[07:35] <Zaibot> b0xii, What do you mean?
[07:35] <RickH> venish:  That bar is called "the dock" in OS X, I believe.
[07:35] <venish> RickH: i just want the bar of icons im using that desktop as an example
[07:35] <mneptok> jonesresidence_: not to mention that almost ftpd in existence has one horrifying security bug in its history
[07:35] <Peyton_> Venish, link?
[07:35] <Frogzoo> jonesresidence_: I recommend tripwire & xinetd
[07:35] <RickH> venish:  I don't know how to help you.
[07:35] <venish> Peyton_:http://i17.tinypic.com/4zatkhv.jpg
[07:36] <n2diy> jonesresidence_: if it has been, it is probably to late to tell. Rootkits and stuff cover there tracks.
[07:36] <b0xii> Zaibot: change whatever drive you need to the top or bottom of the list as needed
[07:36] <Frogzoo> jonesresidence_: but  mostly just rely on ubuntu's regular security updates to keep you covered - but having open telnet or ftp, you'll get constant password attempts
[07:36] <xwind> every time i try to learn how to program i get confused and end up looking for more information on the net than programming im looking for the basics
[07:36] <TheNovaKing> start with C
[07:36] <TheNovaKing> its powerful
[07:36] <TheNovaKing> and effective
[07:36] <b0xii> xwind: stop programming
[07:36] <TheNovaKing> however
[07:37] <TheNovaKing> it takes a while to learn
[07:37] <Peyton_> Venish, go to Settings->Configure Panel (or something to that effect)
[07:37] <b0xii> xwind: just script
[07:37] <Peyton_> Set it to be transparent
[07:37] <Zaibot> b0xii, this might be a stupid question, but how do you do that?
[07:37] <Peyton_> Set the width to "Normal"
[07:37] <TheNovaKing> same thing
[07:37] <Peyton_> And add the icons you want
[07:37] <TheNovaKing> pretty much
[07:37] <Peyton_> Xfce, right?
[07:37] <Frogzoo> xwind: find a simple application you like enough to want to play around with, & apt-get source PACKAGE
[07:37] <|_ocke> xwind, i have a link to a site with a bunch of programming e-books
[07:37] <venish> Peyton_: settings? where
[07:37] <|_ocke> lemme see if i have it on this computer
[07:37] <Peyton_> Right click on the desktop. You're using Xfce, right?
[07:37] <b0xii> Zaibot: different manufacturers do it different ways, when you boot hit f12 or del or f1 and the bios will pop up
[07:37] <xwind> alright
[07:37] <venish> Peyton_: no im using gnome
[07:38] <jonesresidence_> yea, i just closed the ports
[07:38] <Zaibot> b0xii, Yes, but where in BIOS?
[07:38] <Peyton_> Oh, sorry...I heard Xfce being thrown around there....
[07:38] <venish> Peyton_: i just installed ubuntu
[07:38] <n2diy> How can you determine which printer port is active, lshw doesn't show it, and I can't find it listed in dmesg either?
[07:38] <tupa> shams, did you have any luck?
[07:38] <b0xii> Zaibot: that again differs in bios manufacturers, just dig around in there
[07:38] <jonesresidence_> It's a shame that the internet is full of criminals
[07:38] <Peyton_> Ah. Not too familiar with gnome. Thought someone said Xfce
[07:38] <shams> tupa, awesome :D thanks
[07:38] <shams> tupa, thank link helped :D
[07:38] <TheNovaKing> I hate teh criminals that give hackers a bad name
[07:38] <Waffle1> can someone help me?
[07:39] <Zaibot> b0xii, k, Ill try. Thanks.
[07:39] <venish> Peyton_: do you know how to get that bar
[07:39] <TheNovaKing> what do you need Waffle1
[07:39] <venish> Peyton_: in gnome
[07:39] <RickH> jonesresidence_:  Look on the bright side, the U.S. Senate just voted for web censorship (to protect our children).  The criminals will soon be off the Internet.
[07:39] <Waffle1> i need a few things
[07:39] <b0xii> Waffle1: spit it out
[07:39] <Waffle1> first, how can i make ubuntu work with a wireless internet connection
[07:39] <Peyton_> venish, It shouldn't be very difficult with gnome, but I don't use gnome, so I don't know the exact method.
[07:39] <xwind> Frogzoo: what do you mean apt-get source PACKAGE...sorry im just learning all of the ins and outs
[07:39] <b0xii> Waffle1: depends if your card is supported
[07:39] <Peyton_> venish, but you could try looking for some kind of panel configuration thingy
[07:39] <n2diy> RickH: Right, the criminals are in the Senate!
[07:39] <TheNovaKing> RickH: you're kidding right?
[07:39] <Waffle1> how do i determine that?
[07:39] <RickH> xwind:  "sudo apt-get install xfce" for example.  The package is "xfce"
[07:40] <lsav> Enter text here...hiiiiiiiii
[07:40] <b0xii> Waffle1: what chipset you have
[07:40] <TheNovaKing> not if TheNovaKing has anything to say about it
[07:40] <Waffle1> i don't know
[07:40] <TheNovaKing> RickH: How do you think that will go over with the hackers?
[07:40] <RickH> Senate backs web censorship:  http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=41234
[07:40] <b0xii> Waffle1: lspci
[07:40] <RickH> TheNovaKing:  Not well. :)
[07:40] <Waffle1> what's lspci?
[07:40] <TheNovaKing> I'm going to rip this in two
[07:40] <b0xii> Waffle1: type it in console
[07:40] <TheNovaKing> I think ima unleash some of my toys
[07:40] <TheNovaKing> as soon as I get a chance
[07:41] <TheNovaKing> as soon as this crap starts
[07:41] <xwind> RickH: no joy any other "simple" programs?
[07:41] <file13> when a new version of ubuntu comes out do you have to do a fresh install every time or can you just do an easy update
[07:41] <Waffle1> what is console
[07:41] <Peyton_> xwind, you're just starting to learn Python, yeah?
[07:41] <xwind> yup
[07:41] <TheNovaKing> Waffle1: its the terminal
[07:41] <RickH> xwind:  Of course.  Use Add/Remove, Synaptic Package Manager or Automatix2, though most people say that Automatix2 causes all kinds of problems.
[07:41] <b0xii> Waffle1: uninstall
[07:41] <|_ocke> file13, you can upgrade very easily] 
[07:41] <Peyton_> xwind, Have you read: http://docs.python.org/tut/
[07:41] <n2diy> file13: you don't have to update, stick with what works, long live Dapper.
[07:41] <RickH> Waffle1:  console is the terminal.  It's like a command line where you can do things. :)
[07:41] <TheNovaKing> RickH
[07:41] <TheNovaKing> Pm me
[07:42] <lsav6> Enter text here...hi
[07:42] <lsav6> ok
[07:42] <TheNovaKing> i cant believe the US Senate
[07:42] <Peyton_> venish, try right clicking the panel and going to Properties. Then uncheck "expand" (just looking at a picture of the dialog here...)
[07:42] <file13> i just think its weird youd have to reinstall every 6 months. why are you still using dapper if its outdated?
[07:42] <TheNovaKing> i like dapper
[07:42] <TheNovaKing> personally
[07:42] <RickH> The Senate's woes all stem back to the Federal Reserve...
[07:43] <TheNovaKing> thats what i use
[07:43] <xwind> Peyton: I started going through it but couldnt get pass the fact that i was still in the terminal i didnt think it was working
[07:43] <TheNovaKing> RickH pm me
[07:43] <b0xii> TheNovaKing: yeah, i'm just now in the middle of a edgy to feisty upgrade atm
[07:43] <RickH> 1913, Criminals Woodrow Wilson & Senators Glass and Owen.
[07:43] <Peyton_> xwind, are you using the interactive interpreter?
[07:43] <venish> Peyton_: it just shrinks it
[07:43] <xwind> not sure what that is
[07:43] <Zasch> Hello: I'm having problems with Amarok. I downloaded it because it is supposedly such a wonderful player, but it won't play files from my iPod at all, and I don't know how to configure it.
[07:43] <RickH> TheNovaKing:  I did.
[07:43] <TheNovaKing> i'm not seeing it
[07:43] <Waffle1> ok i typed lspci in terminal
[07:43] <n2diy> file13: you don't have to re-install every six months! I'm on Dapper 6.06, it over a year old, I'm not upgrading to anything.
[07:43] <Peyton_> venish, go to the Background tab and see if there's anything to make it transparent
[07:43] <RickH> Is it "/msg TheNovaKing hello" to do it?
[07:44] <Peyton_> xwind, do you see >> when you're using Python?
[07:44] <Peyton_> xwind, the interactive interpreter is what starts when you run python with no arguments
[07:44] <b0xii> my back is killing me....where are the vicotin?
[07:44] <venish> Peyton_: ok i did transparent
[07:44] <jonesresidence_> I closed those ports on my router, so that should fix the login attempts, correct?
[07:44] <Peyton_> Venish, does it look closer to what you want?
[07:44] <venish> lol no
[07:44] <TheNovaKing> god i hate xchat
[07:44] <file13> well wouldnt you want to upgrade when the new versions come out, dont they fix stuff from older versions?
[07:44] <RickH> TheNovaKing:  I got it.
[07:45] <Peyton_> venish, try adding the icons you want and then making the size bigger in properties
[07:45] <RickH> TheNovaKing: Click on the "RickH" window.
[07:45] <TheNovaKing> there is no rickH window
[07:45] <Peyton_> venish, if you head in that direction, you should get what you want, but it will require some tinkering on your part
[07:45] <TheNovaKing> i hate this lame version of Xchat
[07:45] <RickH> TheNovaKing:  Click on the users button, then right-click on "RickH" and select the menu option.
[07:46] <n2diy> file13: my box works, it is supported for years, I get patches weekly, what more could I want?
[07:46] <b0xii> ahhh. my edgy --> feisty is done, time for a reboot and i'll be right back (i know you can't wait)
[07:46] <TheNovaKing> sent it RickH
[07:46] <file13> well then why do they keep releasing new versions of ubuntu
[07:46] <RickH> TheNovaKing: Weird...could be lag, server traffic, etc.
[07:46] <RickH> TheNovaKing:  type "/join RickH"
[07:46] <n2diy> file13: policy
[07:47] <Peyton_> venish, *actually*: http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/11
[07:47] <jonesresidence_> In regards to the FTP security, the ports being closed on my router should stop the login attempts, right?
[07:47] <TheNovaKing> RickH
[07:47] <TheNovaKing> you have AIM?
[07:47] <TheNovaKing> or MSN?
[07:47] <file13> im just new to Ubuntu and alot of stuff is kinda confusing so im trying to learn what to do and all
[07:47] <RickH> TheNovaKing:  type "/join #rickh"
[07:48] <file13> getting the stuff to work like it does on windows is taking stuff for granted lol
[07:48] <RickH> file13:  It takes about 2 weeks to get a good feel.  We'll help you though.  Ubuntu is definitely worth it.
[07:48] <davor> somebody can help, how to clone mi first screen?
[07:48] <Peyton_> venish, did you get my link?
[07:48] <n2diy> file13: Fine business, learn, and but the upgrades on the back burner. If your box works, go with it.
[07:48] <n2diy> but/put
[07:49] <xwind> i have python installed and now anjuta  what is the connection i dont understand it, lol im slowly getting out of windows
[07:49] <Peyton_> xwind, well, you should probably follow the tutorial
[07:49] <RickH> xwind:  You use Anjuta to create the python source file.
[07:49] <file13> I did get my wireless working, after coaxing it a bit and trolling the forums. My only issue is my sound right now. My sound is crackly and popping when i play games and stuff like that. But for some reason it works fine when i watch like you tube videos and stuff.
[07:49] <Peyton_> xwind, it seems slow and boring, but you have to slowly work your way up
[07:49] <ThatLazyGuy> how come i cant place files in the usr folder or anything in the File System
[07:49] <RickH> xwind:  Python is an interpreted language.  It just reads text files.
[07:49] <venish> Peyton_: yes
[07:49] <bruenig> ThatLazyGuy, you need to have root privileges to do so
[07:50] <xwind> so you write the code in anjuta
[07:50] <venish> Peyton_: i dont know the guide to show me how to make a icon pannel like that...
[07:50] <Frogzoo> !sound | file13
[07:50] <ubotu> file13: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[07:50] <ThatLazyGuy> bruenig: how can i do that?
[07:50] <Peyton_> venish, scroll down to "Emulating OSX Dock" on that page
[07:50] <bruenig> ThatLazyGuy, you can use sudo, like sudo mv file /usr/newplace
[07:50] <Peyton_> venish, it gives links to some programs that should do what you want
[07:51] <n2diy> How can you determine which printer port is active, lshw doesn't show it, and I can't find it listed in dmesg either?
[07:51] <file13> I am using alsa, and i followed the guide that was the comprehensive sound fix one to reinstall ALSA and all that but no luck
[07:52] <file13> yeah that link you just sent, i followed that one and did all that but i still get the crackly audio
[07:53] <pizzaplace> can sombody help me ive setup proftpd to a guide to the exact word its staed and still cannot login
[07:53] <pizzaplace> stated*
[07:53] <orbisvicis> if i disable password_auth in ssh (which works for openssh client) why can putty still log in using password authentication ?
[07:54] <pizzaplace> anybody >.<
[07:54] <n2diy> pizzaplace: ditch ftp, and use scp.
[07:54] <pizzaplace> i have actually used that b4
[07:54] <pizzaplace> do i need to setup a server for it?
[07:55] <bruenig> pizzaplace, yes
[07:55] <pizzaplace> could u point me right direction plz
[07:55] <bruenig> !ssh | pizzaplace
[07:55] <ubotu> pizzaplace: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[07:55] <n2diy> pizzaplace: Yes, I think one of the machines needs SSH server.
[07:55] <file13> would using USB headphones do anything, would that bypass my soundcard
[07:55] <orbisvicis> putty doesnt set up its own server while running, does it ?
[07:55] <bruenig> putty is a client
[07:55] <orbisvicis> b/c to test i am running localhost
[07:56] <orbisvicis> right so ssh_config sets up the ssh server ... not the client, id assume ?
[07:56] <n2diy> bruenig: will putty play with ssh/scp?
[07:56] <bruenig> n2diy, yes, it is a windows ssh client
[07:56] <pizzaplace> so i need to setup ssh
[07:56] <pizzaplace> correct?
[07:56] <n2diy> bruenig: TY
[07:56] <orbisvicis> b/c putty can log in using user auth. even though ive disabled that in ssh_config
[07:56] <bruenig> ssh_config is a configuration file for the server orbisvicis
[07:57] <orbisvicis> hm
[07:57] <kahrytan> Anyone uses the key combination clt-alt-f1 before?
[07:57] <bruenig> you have disabled user auth. hmmm
[07:57] <bruenig> wow and his nick has the ip
[07:57] <orbisvicis> kahrytan, its a virtual console
[07:57] <kahrytan> orbisvicis: know what it is
[07:57] <orbisvicis> oh ; (
[07:57] <kahrytan> it's tty
[07:57] <bruenig> attack!
[07:57] <orbisvicis> well i mean ; ) good you know
[07:58] <n2diy> pizzaplace: ask bruenig, he has a better handle on it then i do.
[07:58] <orbisvicis> bruenig, ty
[07:58] <kahrytan> I use it all the time for admin duties
[07:58] <venish> can anybody show me how to install beryl
[07:58] <pizzaplace> sok im googling away now uve sent me down another road :)
[07:58] <kahrytan> venish: apt-get install beryl
[07:58] <kahrytan> no wait
[07:58] <kahrytan> venish: sudo apt-get install beryl
[07:58] <ohine> i'm trying to compile an application, and g++ can't locate qconfig.h and qmodules.h
[07:58] <n2diy> pizzaplace:  GL
[07:59] <ohine> i've done a search, and they're not on my drive
[07:59] <karvec> hey, coupla questions
[07:59] <bruenig> !find qconfig.h
[07:59] <karvec> willing to wait
[07:59] <ubotu> File qconfig.h found in libqt3-mt-dev, libqt4-dev, libqt4-dev-kdecopy
[07:59] <n2diy> ohine: have you installed the build-essential package?
[07:59] <bruenig> ohine, libqt4-dev
[07:59] <bruenig> or libqt3-mt-dev
[08:00] <venish> kahrytan: ok done...next
[08:00] <orbisvicis> well bruenig have you tried w/ putty ... do you need pub/priv key ?
[08:00] <bruenig> I don't use windows
[08:00] <file13> Since im pretty sure if screwed stuff up messing with terminal doing tutorials and being a noob if i do a fresh install is it smart to stick to just doing the add/remove program option till i become more linux savvy?
[08:00] <LucianSolaris> what is the offtopic chan?
[08:00] <kahrytan> venish: sudo apt-get install beryl-manager
[08:00] <bruenig> file13, no, use apt-get, you will be happier
[08:00] <venish> kahrytan: done...next
[08:00] <kahrytan> orbisvicis: How's my desktop look? http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o200/kahrytan/screenshots/?action=view&current=Screenshot-2.png
[08:00] <bruenig> file13, just make sure you understand what you are doing when you are doing it
[08:00] <karvec> okay, trying to run ubuntu or ubuntu server--  when booting from CD it gets halfway through the first load bar, just reboots
[08:01] <bruenig> file13, if not, ask someone in here what a command means
[08:01] <n2diy> file13: or synaptic
[08:01] <karvec> both ubuntu and server
[08:01] <kahrytan> venish: Is Restricted Drivers installed?
[08:01] <venish> kahrytan: i dont know
[08:01] <file13> ok, is the site getdeb.net a reliable place if i was to install certain apps that way too?
[08:01] <Enselic> I am unable to press C-A-KeypadDivide on my laptop, how can I find out how to press it?
[08:01] <orbisvicis> lol kahrytan
[08:01] <karvec> old system, amd k6-2 333 w/ 256 megs of ram installed, 40 gig hd
[08:01] <file13> since they come in pre-packaged .debs
[08:01] <orbisvicis> kahrytan, http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotue3.png
[08:01] <kahrytan> orbisvicis: Whats funny
[08:02] <karvec> anyone?
[08:02] <venish> kahrytan: yea my video card and eevrything is yes
[08:02] <orbisvicis> kahrytan, vista-look hehe
[08:02] <Peyton_> file13, if you can't get it anywhere else
[08:02] <bruenig> file13, you really defeat the point when you start doing that, the greatest aspect of linux is internal package management, why in the hell someone would want to replicate the windows, go online get a package and double click on it is beyond me
[08:02] <Peyton_> file13, in the repositories, I mean
[08:02] <LucianSolaris> A
[08:02] <n2diy> file13: for now stick with the Ubuntu repos, when you have more experience, then you can play with other packages.
[08:02] <pizzaplace> omg
[08:02] <carter> I definitely agree n2diy
[08:02] <pizzaplace> u guys fookin rule
[08:02] <karvec> i installed tinyfugue from the commandline!  :D :D :D
[08:03] <carter> RPM's are what drove me away from Fedora to Ubuntu
[08:03] <pizzaplace> did it in 2 minutes i been at this all night
[08:03] <carter> The Synaptic package manager is just freakin' awesome
[08:03] <kahrytan> venish: what ubuntu ver?
[08:03] <bruenig> debs are what drove me away from ubuntu to arch
[08:03] <Peyton_> Arch :-D
[08:03] <kahrytan> orbisvicis: Sorta. Firefox looks like IE7 doesnt it
[08:03] <Peyton_> pacman :-D
[08:03] <venish> kahrytan: 7.04
[08:03] <orbisvicis> yep
[08:03] <karvec> hey, can someone help me out?  can't run livecd for either ubuntu or ubuntu server...  7.04 and amd k-6 333 mhz 256 megs ram
[08:04] <carter> Bruenig, what do you not like about .debs?
[08:04] <kahrytan> venish: You do have a graphics card right?
[08:04] <venish> kahrytan: yes
[08:04] <kahrytan> venish: Then install Restricted drivers
[08:04] <kahrytan> under Administration
[08:04] <carter> karvec, are you trying to run the x64 livecd?
[08:04] <venish> kahrytan: done
[08:04] <file13> ok and last question here of the night. on my laptop here i did a dual boot of XP and ubuntu, i partitioned off the swap and my main Ubuntu partiton, if im to reinstall do i delete the swap partiton or delete both and go about it like i did after installing the xp partition (making both the swap and the main)
[08:04] <venish> kahrytan: my graphics card is installed
[08:04] <bruenig> carter, the debian package management is not as good as pacman, the awkward split between apt-get and dpkg, and some other hack fixes for insufficiencies
[08:04] <n2diy> carter: :) Is your first name AB?
[08:04] <kahrytan> ten Alt-F and run beryl-manager
[08:05] <c0rnd0g> is there an ubuntu finance channel?:
[08:05] <c0rnd0g> like #ubuntu-finance ?
[08:05] <karvec> no, the i386
[08:05] <carter> n2diy, no my first name is Carter
[08:05] <kahrytan> Alt-F2
[08:05] <karvec> pretty sure its not x64
[08:05] <carter> okay
[08:05] <venish>  ten Alt-F and run beryl-manager???
[08:05] <carter> what happens when you try to run it karvec
[08:05] <bruenig> carter, like meta packages, there is no reason that there should be meta packages, but because of the setup, they are a necessary hackish awkward way to achieve the goal of installing a group of packages
[08:05] <LucianSolaris> ANYONE: what is the offtopic chan?
[08:05] <kahrytan> ALT-F2 and run beryl-manager
[08:05] <karvec> it crashes halfway through vmlinuz.whatever
[08:05] <n2diy> carter: Ok, an old school pal was named AB Carter.
[08:06] <karvec> just does a reboot
[08:06] <carter> I see n2diy
[08:06] <carter> okay karvec
[08:06] <venish> kahrytan: Could not open location 'file:///run beryl-manager'
[08:06] <LucianSolaris> >.<
[08:07] <LucianSolaris> >:(
[08:07] <venish> kahrytan: do i run in terminal
[08:07] <carter> karvec, have you run linux distros on it before?
[08:08] <venish> kahrytan: why is everything black?
[08:08] <karvec> i think so, probably red hat 8 or fedora core 2 or 3
[08:08] <karvec> damn small linux boots up fine
[08:08] <karvec> this is just the livecd, not even hard drive
[08:08] <venish> kahrytan: my windows and stuff
[08:08] <carter> Karvec, try downloading the text based install cd
[08:09] <b0xii> karvec: there should be an option to boot text based i believe
[08:09] <bruenig> b0xii, no, you need the alternate cd
[08:09] <n2diy> How can you determine which printer port is active, lshw doesn't show it, and I can't find it listed in dmesg either?
[08:09] <venish> kahrytan: ?????
[08:10] <bruenig> venish, go to #ubuntu-effects
[08:11] <venish> bruenig: where?
[08:11] <karvec> what is the option for text based or where do i find the text based version?  all i see is older (6.06, 5.04) with text based installers
[08:11] <kahrytan_> venish: im back
[08:11] <b0xii> wow, feisty really has done a bang up job on getting 3d desktop working...my laptop is like 7 years old and works right out the box
[08:11] <n2diy> venish: here, type /join #ubuntu-effects
[08:11] <bruenig> venish, go to that channel, that is for the newbs who insist on running beryl even though they don't know what ls is
[08:11] <Necroccultus> Hello, I'm running a KDE app (Amarok) on GNOME. After I enabled support for last.fm, almost every hour a hidden (minimized) window shows up in the taskbar as "HTTP cache cleaner". Is there a way to disable/hide it, or set it to run less frequently?
[08:12] <kahrytan_> Beryl is out of date now
[08:12] <bruenig> beryl is not out of date now

[08:14] <agenippe> how can i setup tomcat
[08:14] <carter> yeah karvec?
[08:15] <karvec> i cant find anything textbased on the site, or any options for textbased
[08:15] <gaminggeek> ziroday, like?
[08:15] <CompIsMyRx> it's not about faster, but about the plugins. The fusion plugins are essentially beryl + new ones that add usability and more fun. This is a better conversation for #ubuntu-effects
[08:15] <ziroday> gaminggeek: what plugins, graphics card, what time of day
[08:15] <carter> karvec, h/o
[08:15] <agenippe> who can help me ?

[08:17] <ziroday> kahrytan_: wrong person :)
[08:17] <PF|Ubuntu> kahrytan, yes
[08:17] <CompIsMyRx> compiz fusion is the beryl code added back to compiz. Beryl was originally a fork of Compiz, but the two have made up
[08:17] <carter> PF|Ubuntu, start googling fstab
[08:17] <venish> kahrytan: everytime i choose select window manager to beryl it turns black like my windows
[08:17] <bruenig> your windows are black?

[08:50] <ocha> gordonjcp, ahhh thakns for replying on the router issus,  i'
[08:51] <ocha> gordonjcp, i've notice my linux partition on my laptop thats dual booting, the linux partition can't access the internet,  the wireless saids it's connected
[08:52] <Zaibot> Is there any application making it possible to use SATA drives with Ubuntu?
[08:52] <karvec> how do i install ubuntu without acpi?
[08:52] <CompIsMyRx> Zaibot: sata drives are naively supported
[08:52] <Shadow_mil> karvec, you'll need to use the alternative CD I believe
[08:52] <|_ocke> naively supported hehe
[08:52] <MindSpark> anyone using edgy on lappie ?
[08:53] <MindSpark> I am having trouble suspending to disk/ram
[08:53] <ocha> gordonjcp, though the killer is my windows partition can access the internet.
[08:53] <CompIsMyRx> ocha: what wireless card do you have?
[08:53] <Zaibot> CompIsMyRx, yes, but to make it possible to write on them, not just read
[08:53] <Shadow_mil> karvec, though you should be able be able to remove it from a installed distro, just disable it in the 2ed runlevel, and unload the kernel modals
[08:54] <CheshireViking> Zaibot, do you mean drives formatted with NTFS?
[08:54] <CompIsMyRx> Zaibot: SATA drives are already read/write
[08:54] <CompIsMyRx> Zaibot: for NTFS, you need ntfs-3g
[08:54] <ocha> CompIsMyRx, but but the problem is, i mean the killer, at different location i can get internet with my linux partition on unprotected and protected wi-fi
[08:54] <Zaibot> CheshireViking & CompIsMyRx, I meant NTFS, my bad
[08:55] <CheshireViking> !ntfs-3g > Zaibot
[08:55] <CompIsMyRx> ocha: What protection do you use on your router? WPA2, WPA, WEP?
[08:56] <Zaibot> So I meant: Is there any application making it possible to use NTFS formatted drives with Ubuntu?
[08:56] <CompIsMyRx> !ntfs-3g | Zaibot
[08:56] <ubotu> Zaibot: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[08:56] <Zaibot> Ah, thank you.
[08:58] <ocha> CompIsMyRx, poopy, i think it's WEP
[08:58] <CompIsMyRx> ocha: do you have network-manager-gnome installed?
[08:59] <venish> can someone tell me how to take out beryl?
[08:59] <bruenig> venish, go to #ubuntu-effects
[08:59] <bruenig> you are off topic
[08:59] <kahrytan> venish: apt-get remove beryl
[08:59] <kahrytan> venish: apt-get remove beryl beryl-core beryl manager
[09:00] <venish> kahrytan: which one and where do i type this
[09:00] <CompIsMyRx> venish: don't forget the sudo's infront of those
[09:00] <ocha> CompIsMyRx, im on feisty fawns,  it's whats installed by default.  i think it's network-manager-gnome.  it's default for 7.04. right?
[09:00] <cody> where can i get help with nvidia drivers in ubuntu
[09:00] <venish> CompIsMyRx: can you give me the whole thing
[09:00] <Jamesinator> !ubuntu > Jamesinator
[09:00] <kahrytan> bruenig: Has nothing to do with effects
[09:00] <CompIsMyRx> ocha: yes
[09:01] <kahrytan> bruenig: It's a uninstall
[09:01] <bruenig> kahrytan, he should have gone long ago
[09:01] <kraut> moin
[09:01] <bruenig> and it is still effects related
[09:01] <kahrytan> bruenig: no
[09:01] <CompIsMyRx> venish: sudo aptitude remove beryl beryl-core beryl-manager in a terminal
[09:01] <bruenig> kahrytan, good point
[09:01] <bruenig> the no won me over
[09:02] <kahrytan> bruenig: It has nothing to do with effects.
[09:02] <bruenig> kahrytan, yes
[09:02] <kahrytan> bruenig: He wants to remove a package
[09:02] <venish> thnx
[09:02] <bruenig> so nothing ever has anything to do with effects
[09:02] <ocha> CompIsMyRx, my router is netgear.  i've never heard of problems with netgear.  is there any problems with netgear?   is that possible?
[09:02] <bruenig> they have to do with executing binaries
[09:02] <venish> CompIsMyRx: done that ....next
[09:02] <kahrytan> ocha: I have Netgear too
[09:03] <CompIsMyRx> venish: that's it
[09:03] <Peaches> anyone with some experience with getting edgy to hibernate ?
[09:03] <venish> ok
[09:03] <ocha> kahrytan, im taking it that you don't have problem with your internet??
[09:03] <kahrytan> venish: sudo aptitude autoclean
[09:03] <venish> CompIsMyRx: i still have it under system tools
[09:03] <kahrytan> ocha: Of course not. using it now
[09:03] <CompIsMyRx> venish: that will go away the next time you boot
[09:04] <CompIsMyRx> venish: or it should
[09:04] <venish> k
[09:04] <bruenig> it has nothing to do with boot
[09:04] <__david> hello, I'm trying to use gnu screen, and when I press C-a C-c nothing happens.  Why?
[09:04] <venish> CompIsMyRx: let me restart and see wat happens
[09:04] <bruenig> update-desktop-database
[09:04] <kahrytan> venish: sudo aptitude autoclean
[09:04] <bruenig> autoclean has nothing to do with it either
[09:04] <CompIsMyRx> venish: no need to restart
[09:04] <kahrytan> bruenig: But it clean packages that are useless now
[09:04] <kahrytan> bruenig: like emerald
[09:05] <bruenig> it removes debs
[09:05] <ocha> kahrytan, hey dude, wanna know the kicker of it all?
[09:05] <bruenig> the cached debs
[09:05] <kahrytan> ocha: What
[09:05] <CompIsMyRx> emerald is still nice to have with compiz fusion
[09:05] <bruenig> it doesn't uninstall anything
[09:05] <kahrytan> emerald and what not needs to be undone
[09:05] <kahrytan> ocha: Im using WGR 614
[09:06] <ocha> kahrytan, im on the router right now within ubuntu. thats the kicker
[09:06] <patrick_b> is it ATIs fault or Ubuntus that my ATI FireGL V5200 wont work desktop effects?
[09:06] <ocha> kahrytan, but i can'
[09:06] <ocha> kahrytan, i can't access firefox, or yahoo. or msn. so. i don't know whats up
[09:06] <kahrytan> ocha: hard reset?
[09:07] <Terrasque> patrick_b: do you blame microsoft if your new graphics card cant play games?
[09:07] <ziroday> patrick_b: ati because they dont and make it very hard for developers to make drivers for that video card
[09:07] <ziroday> patrick_b: they sometimes act like they dont want linux drivers
[09:08] <venish> can someone tell me how to get beryl manager?
[09:08] <bruenig> venish is back it appears from following the windows advice
[09:08] <CheshireViking> !beryl | venish
[09:08] <ubotu> venish: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[09:09] <ocha> kahrytan,  but all the window
[09:09] <bruenig> just reboot == we don't really understand how stuff works, so we'll just throw this out
[09:09] <kahrytan> ocha: what?
[09:09] <venish> ubotu: i am not i messed up the beryl so i am trying to get it again
[09:09] <ocha> kahrytan, but all the windows box/partition CAN get online
[09:09] <bruenig> !opsnack | venish
[09:09] <ubotu> venish: Chocolate!  And Peanuts!
[09:09] <venish> bruenig: can u tell me how to get beryl manager
[09:09] <karvec> shadow_mil, thanks, grabbing the cd now
[09:09] <bruenig> !ot | venish
[09:10] <kahrytan> ocha: irc can get online?
[09:10] <ubotu> venish: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[09:10] <patrick_b> Terrasque: I don't play games, im not so much playing the blame game, but I would like to know which path to follow to fix my problem.
[09:10] <bruenig> venish, this is not the channel for that, you have been told that at least 6 times
[09:10] <venish> bruenig: where do i go
[09:10] <bruenig> !beryl | venish
[09:10] <ubotu> venish: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[09:11] <kahrytan> Welcome to ignore Venish.
[09:11] <ocha> kahrytan, yea.  im on irc with ubuntu too.  man, this is one of the wiredest things that ever happen to me
[09:12] <kahrytan> ocha: Sounds like Ubuntu issue
[09:12] <kahrytan> not router
[09:12] <venish> kahrytan: sry not trying to be rude but need hlep
[09:12] <venish> help
[09:12] <kahrytan> ocha: possibly, ipchains?
[09:13] <bruenig> venish, if you do not move to #ubuntu-effects, seeing as this is at least request 7 now by many different people, you may very possible be kicked, we'll see how aggressive !ops are at the very least
[09:13] <Shadow_mil> whats ocha's problem exactly?
[09:13] <ocha> kahrytan, ubuntu issue only with netgear???? huh?
[09:13] <bruenig> possibly*
[09:13] <kahrytan> ocha: Check ipchains
[09:13] <ocha> kahrytan, ipchains?
[09:14] <kahrytan> the builtin firewall
[09:14] <patrick_b> what is way to check if I have the correct drivers installed for my ATI card on ubuntu?
[09:14] <bruenig> patrick_b, did you install any?
[09:14] <ocha> Shadow_mil, hold on man one sec
[09:15] <patrick_b> i installed, uninstalled, reinstalled so I kinda almost want to start from the beginning
[09:15] <patrick_b> I also tried using that ENVY software.
[09:15] <gordonjcp> !envy
[09:15] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[09:16] <CompIsMyRx> nice description
[09:16] <gordonjcp> incidentally, can someone fix the envy factoid please?
[09:16] <pazooso> org
[09:16] <CompIsMyRx> sometimes envy can really boink your computer. I stopped using it myself, but I used to use it.
[09:16] <Shadow_mil> patrick_b, I believe that major video cards use one or two drivers for ALL of their cards.  I don't think ATI has a driver for each card.
[09:17] <karvec> plus ati hasn't released drivers for linux, have they?
[09:17] <kahrytan> !ipchains
[09:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ipchains - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:17] <CompIsMyRx> patrick_b: the correct drivers are fglrx
[09:17] <kahrytan> !ipchain
[09:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ipchain - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:17] <karvec> l
[09:17] <karvec> l
[09:17] <CompIsMyRx> karvec: the linux drivers for ATI cards is named fglrx
[09:17] <karvec> oops, k
[09:17] <ziroday> karvec: *cough* if you could call that code drivers
[09:18] <CompIsMyRx> they are lacking much
[09:18] <karvec> heh k
[09:18] <CompIsMyRx> opensource drivers for anything not in the X class
[09:18] <Shadow_mil> ziroday, I was getting ready to say the same lol
[09:18] <ziroday> lol
[09:18] <Shadow_mil> ocha, :\
[09:18] <karvec> shadow_mil:  what will the alternate cd do if it's an acpi issue?
[09:19] <CompIsMyRx> yeah, they have some problems they really need to get about fixing (like no AIGLX support >:(
[09:19] <Shadow_mil> karvec, well with the alternative CD you can choose not to install ACPI I believe
[09:19] <kahrytan> ocha: you there?
[09:19] <karvec> CompIsMyRx:  Do the X.org drivers work better or fglrx drivers?  Also, incidentally enough, I work at Target Pharmacy...  :P
[09:20] <ocha> kahrytan, sorry guys.  i went under the cut yesterday.  i need some meds.
[09:20] <karvec> shadow_mil, thanks, I'm definitely going to work on this...
[09:20] <ocha> Shadow_mil, sorry guys.  i went under the cut yesterday.  i need some meds.
[09:20] <CompIsMyRx> karvec: the opensource ones work better, but they don't support the newest cards (the X ones)
[09:20] <kahrytan> ocha: my bad. iptables -L
[09:21] <iwmne> hey, i am having a problem with update which has frozen on cleaning up @ 99%.. any suggestions?
[09:21] <karvec> CompIsMyRx, so using X.org on 9800 wouldn't affect performance compared to fglrx?
[09:21] <Madpilot> meh... guess not all USB cardreaders are created equal - the freebie one I got doesn't seem to work in Feisty...
[09:21] <Shadow_mil> karvec, no, but the fglrx drivers won't give you the full performance of your card
[09:22] <karvec> confused...  :-/
[09:22] <ocha> kahrytan, iptables?   oh poop, you mean iptables -l in command prompt?
[09:22] <kahrytan> ocha: yeah
[09:22] <solid_liq> I want to run firefox as a diff. user so that I can be logged in to a diff. e-mail acct in gmail in that instance of firefox, but no matter how I try to run it as a diff. user, it won't connect to the X server.  anyone know how to do this?
[09:22] <kahrytan> ocha: sudo iptables -L
[09:23] <Shadow_mil> karvec, ok, you will have BETTER performance with fglrx, but no compared to what the card CAN do
[09:23] <patrick_b> CompIsMyRx: for a ATI FireGL V5200 ?
[09:23] <kahrytan> ocha: and look for closed ports
[09:23] <CompIsMyRx> patrick_b: honestly, I don't know. I'd assume there is only the official drivers, (fglrx) because I've only seen the opensource ones for the radeon family
[09:24] <solid_liq> patrick_b: the firegl may actually perform well because it's a workstation class graphics card, and they tend to take the linux drivers for workstation cards more seriously
[09:24] <ocha> kahrytan, nothing about close port man, input, forward, and output
[09:25] <Shadow_mil> karvec, basically, there is no way to use a ATI card's full potential on Linux.  Unless its some crappy chipset or something
[09:25] <MikeRotc1> hey sorry abut that my internet died unexpetidly
[09:25] <MikeRotc1> bruenig can you help, did you see my question before?
[09:25] <patrick_b> so is it wise to just install the fglrx drivers over whatever drivers i have currently?
[09:25] <kahrytan> ocha: Ever use firestarter or similar?
[09:25] <Shadow_mil> patrick_b, if you have a recent ATI card, yes
[09:25] <bruenig> no I didn't, busy on something right now
[09:26] <MikeRotc1> k
[09:26] <karvec> that sucks, thanks shadow_mil, compismyrx
[09:26] <MikeRotc1> can anyone else help me to get a dual monitor extended desktop on an ATI x1600 card
[09:26] <karvec> i'm going to bed...  :P
[09:26] <MikeRotc1> pleeease =)
[09:26] <ocha> Shadow_mil, oh kay.  im using netgear, all my windows box/partition can get to the internet no problem.  but my ubuntu partiton can not.  though it can access the net with some problems, aim, and irc, but no firefox, no msn, no yahoo.  i think that's everything
[09:26] <ocha> kahrytan, firestarter?
[09:27] <CompIsMyRx> karvec: ATI really screwed itself over on Linux. However they have announced plans to opensource parts of their drivers, hopefully enabling better performance. They've said this before, but not since AMD bought them
[09:27] <Shadow_mil> ocha, what does the output of "netstat -i" say?
[09:27] <karvec> yeah, i think i was reading something about that, and how nvidia supports linux and opensource all the way
[09:28] <kahrytan> ocha: The same computer, the irc works but firefox isn't?
[09:28] <Shadow_mil> CompIsMyRx, Nivida is owned by AMD (I believe).  And their are some damn good Nivida drivers
[09:28] <karvec> i thought ATI was owned by AMD now
[09:28] <karvec> o_O
[09:28] <CompIsMyRx> Shadow_mil: no, it's not
[09:28] <Shadow_mil> Hmmm
[09:28] <Shadow_mil> who owns Nivida?
[09:28] <ocha> kahrytan, corrent
[09:28] <CompIsMyRx> nvidia
[09:28] <MikeRotc1> can anyone help me to get a dual monitor extended desktop style on an ATI x1600 card
[09:28] <Shadow_mil> :\
[09:28] <kahrytan> ocha: then it's not the router
[09:28] <CompIsMyRx> nvidia owns itself
[09:28] <Shadow_mil> ocha, what does the output of "netstat -i" say?
[09:28] <karvec> *grins*
[09:29] <ocha> Shadow_mil, i don
[09:29] <MikeRotc1> type it in terminal
[09:29] <ocha> Shadow_mil, i don't see output
[09:30] <ocha> kahrytan, then why does it work with other routers?
[09:30] <ocha> Shadow_mil, yea, im not seeing anything that says output
[09:31] <Shadow_mil> ocha, you have your terminal open?
[09:31] <kahrytan> ocha: disconnect other computers?
[09:32] <Shadow_mil> its hard to believe that a problem that would limit connections on one port, but not another one would be router issue
[09:32] <ocha> Shadow_mil, yes
[09:32] <ocha> kahrytan, all?  thats alot
[09:33] <orbisvicis> !freenx

[09:33] <Shadow_mil> ocha, ignore what kahrytan is saying for now
[09:33] <matti> Morning.
[09:33] <ocha> Shadow_mil, ha, oh kay now waht?
[09:33] <Shadow_mil> ocha, you have your terminal open?
[09:33] <kahrytan> Shadow_mil: now now that was rude
[09:33] <ocha> matti, morning
[09:33] <Shadow_mil> kahrytan, lol sorry.  your distracting him and its hard to get info from him
[09:34] <matti> :)

[09:34] <_6StringKng_> can'
[09:34] <_6StringKng_> t remember the name of it
[09:34] <Shadow_mil> ocha, you have your terminal open?
[09:34] <ocha> Shadow_mil, yes
[09:35] <Shadow_mil> ocha, ok, type the following line.
[09:35] <ocha> kahrytan, thanks for the help though
[09:35] <Shadow_mil> netstat -i
[09:35] <Shadow_mil> ocha, did it give you some output?
[09:36] <foug> how do i open a .bin? trying to install google earth
[09:36] <bheinsius> chmod a+x the file
[09:36] <voyna> hi
[09:36] <ocha> shadow_mil, if it is, im not seeing it
[09:37] <bheinsius> so, go to a shell, cd into the directory where you saved the file and type: chmod a+x <the file>
[09:37] <kahrytan> foug: Right Click on file, properties, and Permissions tab.
[09:37] <Shadow_mil> ocha, did you press enter?
[09:37] <ocha> Shadow_mil, "Kernel Interface table"
[09:37] <Shadow_mil> ocha, yes
[09:37] <Shadow_mil> is that all?
[09:37] <bheinsius> i always forget the GUI way :-)
[09:37] <ocha> Shadow_mil, then it goes into a list of etho, eth1, eth0:, lo
[09:37] <foug> kahrytan: then what?
[09:38] <kahrytan> foug: Execute checkbox.
[09:38] <foug> kahrytan: o thendouble click
[09:38] <Shadow_mil> ocha, Hmmmm... how many network cards do you have?
[09:38] <foug> kahrytan: ty
[09:38] <kahrytan> bheinsius: GUI is better for noobs
[09:38] <foug> kahrytan: how would i do that through the terminal?
[09:38] <kahrytan> foug:do what bheinsius said
[09:38] <potlot> hallo voyna!
[09:39] <ocha> Shadow_mil, only one i think. im on a laptop here.  i usally use eth0, im pretty sure
[09:39] <Shadow_mil> ocha, typically, it should only list two, eth0 and lo
[09:39] <foug> bheinsius: cool, what's a+x mean?
[09:39] <Shadow_mil> foug, all user, execution permission
[09:39] <bheinsius> all execute, so grant the Execute right to All
[09:40] <foug> sweet, thanks guys
[09:40] <ocha> Shadow_mil, thats odd. im on a laptop, i know i didn't install another adapter
[09:40] <kahrytan> Shadow_mil: my adapter is eth1
[09:41] <Shadow_mil> kahrytan, well he is saying he sees 3 eth's
[09:41] <stuart-> Hm. i installed envy and it worked fine. until i installed some updates
[09:41] <stuart-> now x won't run if i have xorg.conf set to nvidia. any help? i've tried uninstalling and reinstalling envy
[09:41] <kahrytan> Shadow_mil: that is odd
[09:41] <ocha> Shadow_mil, want me to do pastebin?
[09:41] <Shadow_mil> ocha, you don't have your computer hooked to the network any other way?
[09:42] <kahrytan> Shadow_mil: check hardware?
[09:42] <Shadow_mil> ocha, yes please
[09:42] <ocha> shadow_mil, you mean my laptop, and no
[09:42] <selig5>    /j #puppylinux
[09:42] <CheshireViking> stuart-, sounds like you need to edit your xorg.conf to change the video driver from "nvidia" to "nv" which will let you start x and then reinstall your nvidia driver

[09:52] <ocha> Shadow_mil, im sorry. did you see my post in flood channel?
[09:52] <Frogzoo> roxlu_: apt-cache search PACKAGE
[09:52] <CompIsMyRx> Shadow_mil: plus, it was my own fault. I enabled, disabled, then enabled a big plugin in under a minute
[09:52] <kahrytan> CompIsMyRx: I like it better cuz It can use Metacity/GTK themes.
[09:52] <Shadow_mil> ocha, yes
[09:53] <roxlu_> Frogzoo: at the moment I'm not logged in under ubuntu, I want to know if "http://www.sics.se/isl/sicstuswww/site/portability.html" works under ubuntu
[09:53] <phantom19> ocha,128mb for install, but i only have 64mb max for each computers when running the system.
[09:53] <perlmonkey> mornin guys
[09:53] <Shadow_mil> ocha, here is the line that proves you have a problem,  RX packets:24438 errors:146 dropped:1070 overruns:0 frame:0
[09:53] <CompIsMyRx> ouch
[09:54] <CompIsMyRx> that's bad
[09:54] <Shadow_mil> yeap.
[09:54] <phantom19> ocha, so later i expand my swap until 192mb, is it ok?
[09:54] <ocha> phantom19, then damn it should work then.  try it man. (referring to the ram install)
[09:54] <perlmonkey> I wonder if anyone has experienced this problem or has a solution: every few minutes (maybe 10) my screen goes black on my laptop, like goes into sleep mode and I have to press a key to wake it up. I've looked everywhere for a setting to adjust this, but can't find anything.
[09:55] <ocha> shadow_mil,    ummmmmmmmmmm yea. so, theres an error. what should i do
[09:55] <Shan_> perlmonkey, you might find the settings in your battery settings
[09:55] <perlmonkey> thanks
[09:55] <Shan_> np
[09:56] <ocha> phantom19, what do you mean expand ya swap, your swap partition is well... partition. you mean like reformat and bigger partition
[09:56] <Shadow_mil> ocha, you say this card works in windows?
[09:56] <perlmonkey> I don't have any battery settings and I'm running off mains
[09:56] <phantom19> ocha, okay thanx alot, i hope my boss will be happy when the linux network is running at our campus, thanx again ocha.
[09:56] <perlmonkey> :-/
[09:56] <ocha> shadow_mil, in windows and within ubuntu on different router (aka my friend's routers)
[09:57] <Shan_> how can i mount a primary partition created in windows?
[09:57] <CompIsMyRx> Shan_: what format is it?
[09:58] <Shadow_mil> ocha, does the it work correctly in windows with this router?
[09:58] <arpa> I would use gdmsetup to customize my gdm on ubuntu but when I use this command : su /usr/sbin/gdmsetup - It say unknown ID :( in ubuntu what I have to do?
[09:58] <arpa> :(((
[09:58] <arpa> :(
[09:58] <CompIsMyRx> Shan_: ntfs or fat32? Fat32 is easy "sudo mount /dev_drive /media/windows" NTFS needs a special driver before you can mount it
[09:58] <ocha> phantom19, no problem man.  64 is low just lettign ya know. ya should be able to run everything try for 128mb when ya can.  i'm running 335mhz p2, 335 ram (around that) it runns xubuntu no problem, 71 days uptime and no leaks.  bootings up firefox and gimp no problem
[09:58] <Shan_> i'm stumped CompIsMyRx .. i created a primary partition (NTFS) in office. then mounted it on mandrake and copied some data.. now i have the disk at home.. but i cant mount the darn thing
[09:58] <Shan_> hell i dont even see it
[09:58] <ocha> shadow_mil yes
[09:59] <CompIsMyRx> Shan_: Install ntfs-3g
[09:59] <Shan_> CompIsMyRx, i created the partition thru XP
[09:59] <CompIsMyRx> !ntfs-3g | Shan_
[09:59] <ubotu> Shan_: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[09:59] <Shadow_mil> ocha, your connected to this router over a regular Ethernet cable?
[09:59] <Shan_> okay.. thanx
[09:59] <ocha> shadow_mil, wireless (wi-fi)
[10:00] <Shadow_mil> AH
[10:00] <Shadow_mil> ocha, try pinging the router?
[10:00] <ocha> shadow_mil, our friend kahrtan has left :(
[10:00] <Shadow_mil> all well
[10:01] <ocha> shadow_mil, how i find the router's ip?
[10:01] <phantom19> ocha, i use pinux at my office, it doesnt have adequate facilities for usb flashdisk, any referrence for this matter?
[10:01] <Shadow_mil> ocha, normally its on the router, I think I know what your problem is
[10:02] <ocha> shadow_mil, oh oh oh, whats that?
[10:02] <Shadow_mil> hold on.
[10:02] <yuan> .
[10:02] <mackyman> Hello! Can someone help me with some easy bash-knowledge?
[10:02] <ocha> phantom19, forgive me man.  english isn't native to me. what do you mean?  whats the problem with the usb within the linux distro "pinux"  right?
[10:03] <ocha> mackyman, huh? bash knowledge?
[10:03] <Shadow_mil> ocha, open firefox, and try to go to this web page,  http://64.233.187.99/
[10:04] <mackyman> ocha, hmm... Like, how to "chain" commands in bash. I want to create a file with the name: db_backup_'timestamp'
[10:04] <mackyman> I have gotten out how to create the timestamp
[10:04] <mackyman> but not how to include it in the filename
[10:04] <ocha> shadow_mil, i think i've tryed this before, but anyways.  yea.  it's still loading
[10:05] <ocha> mackyman, sorry man.  above my head :(
[10:05] <mackyman> echo "just testing a bit" > "db_backup_" date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S
[10:05] <bullgard4> Erasing the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives/ would free perhaps 100 MB storage. Are there reasons to do this not?
[10:05] <mackyman> Maybe helps out a bit
[10:05] <arpa> why nobody gives answer to me :(
[10:05] <arpa> I would use gdmsetup to customize my gdm on ubuntu but when I use this command : su /usr/sbin/gdmsetup - It say unknown ID :( in ubuntu what I have to do?
[10:06] <phantom19> ocha, pointer linux (pinux) is from indonesia, it doesn't support "eject usb disk" menu like in the X/OS linux distro, sorry to confuse you
[10:06] <ukris> arpa,use sudo /usr/sbin/gdmsetup
[10:06] <phantom19> ocha, i'm looking a package for managing USB flashdisk, any info?
[10:06] <arpa> on su = sudo
[10:06] <ocha> phantom19, no no it's oh kay ^^
[10:06] <ukris> su != sudo
[10:07] <Shadow_mil> ocha, ok this is the problem, there is a problem getting your IP from the router for your main device.  looking into how to fix it
[10:07] <timfrost> mackyman: wrap the date part in back-quotes: `date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S` and remove the space :echo "just testing a bit" > db_backup_`date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S`
[10:07] <ocha> phantom19, you mean just like.... using USB flash drive? or im still no usderstanding you
[10:08] <ocha> shadow_mil, thanks man. the website timed out
[10:08] <mackyman> timfrost: Thanks a lot =)
[10:08] <Shadow_mil> ocha, ok... you have a wireless card, is it built in?
[10:08] <phantom19> ocha,yup, that's right, oh, by the way,what is your native language?
[10:09] <ocha> shadow_mil, yes im on the Asus G1 model
[10:09] <arpa> I wrote one simple desktop with C for my self how can I set that desktop as default desktop on ubuntu
[10:10] <ocha> phantom19, japanese
[10:10] <arpa> I wrote one simple desktop with C for my self how can I set that desktop as default desktop on ubuntu
[10:10] <Shadow_mil> ok, well anyways, lets play Russian Roulette.  type "sudo ifconfig eth0 down", if you get disconnected use "sudo ifconfig eth0 up"
[10:11] <ocha> phantom19
[10:11] <Shadow_mil> ocha, *
[10:11] <ocha> phantom19p
[10:11] <stuart-> eh? i chose to 'Open With..' a .pls file, but i have no idea wehre XMMS is installed
[10:11] <timfrost> mackyman: the back-quotes are used to capture the output of one command, for use in a second command.  If you need to remember the file name, store the output of the date command in a variable, eg "ts=`date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S`", then use $ts in the script
[10:11] <potlot> 
[10:11] <stuart-> wooh. chinese
[10:11] <ocha> shadow_mill kay ill try it
[10:12] <ocha> potlot, sorry english only. i got yelled at before :(
[10:12] <stuart-> where is XMMS installed if i wanna choose an Open with..?
[10:12] <phantom19> ocha, well, anyway, what about the package? i'm from indonesia..
[10:12] <keito> made the switch to ubuntu a couple of months back and would like to know what ftp client to use.  I was comfortable with Filezilla on XP and would like something similar (or better ;0)  ANY IDEAS?
[10:12] <SpeakerMania> I just deleted a very important file that took me hours to make. It was on my Desktop. Every time I open the Trash it freezes (just the Trash window). I NEED that file. Can anyone help? What is going on? Can I manually get it back form the terminal?
[10:12] <potlot> phantom19, dari mana?
[10:13] <Shadow_mil> ocha, ....
[10:13] <ocha> shadow_mil, gonna try it now
[10:13] <Shadow_mil> ok
[10:13] <Tomcat_> SpeakerMania: Go to ~/.Trash in terminal
[10:13] <ocha> shadow_mil hello?
[10:13] <CheshireViking> !ftp | keito
[10:13] <ubotu> keito: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[10:13] <talkin> Anybody!!!! some problems with internet connection. surfing inet is well, but connecting to smtp servers is off :(
[10:13] <Shadow_mil> ocha, you there?
[10:13] <ocha> shadow_mil, i guess so.
[10:14] <Shadow_mil> ocha, ok cool
[10:14] <ocha> odd
[10:14] <SpeakerMania> Tomcat_, I'm not familiar with all the terminal commands. Could you elaborate on your statement? Thanks.
[10:14] <Shadow_mil> did it have any output?
[10:14] <ocha> phantom19, what packages are you referring to?
[10:14] <keito> CheshireViking: what do you use
[10:14] <Shadow_mil> say it shutdown successfully ?
[10:14] <Tomcat_> SpeakerMania: Basically, do "mv ~/.Trash/<yourfile> ~", and you'll have it in your home directory again.
[10:14] <SpeakerMania> Tomcat_, many thanks. I will try this now.
[10:15] <Tomcat_> SpeakerMania: If you don't know the name exactly, you can type some letters and use tab-completion.
[10:15] <ocha> shadow_mil, please use my name before. so i know you are talking to me. it doesn't say anything but my password
[10:15] <CheshireViking> keito, i've only used gFTP ocasionaly, i'm not sure what the others are like
[10:15] <keito> CheshireViking: i know there are methods availbale to me already on my system but an elegant GUI would be nice
[10:15] <Shadow_mil> sorry
[10:15] <ocha> shadow_mil, and then i typed my password in
[10:15] <blackjackel> hey guuys, I installed ubuntu and rebooted but something went wrong... It didn't replace the bootloader and it still boots straight to windows XP
[10:15] <stuart-> where do i go to change the Sound PCM levels again? the one at taskbar doesn't seem to do it
[10:15] <ocha> shadow_mil, no worries ^^
[10:15] <Krappe> Hello, I have an Ubuntu/w2k dual-boot configuration set up; the time is correct in Ubuntu, but when I boot into Windows it's always two hours earlier than it should be, why is that?
[10:15] <Shadow_mil> ok type ifconfig"
[10:15] <ramza3> I have a file that is being rolled (txt file to thefile.2007....blah.tar.gz) and I cant tell what program is compressing it, any ideas? what it might be, I think fileroller?
[10:15] <Shadow_mil> "ifconfig"  again
[10:16] <Shadow_mil> and post the output in #flood
[10:16] <ocha> krappe, easy problem.
[10:16] <ocha> krappe, easy fix
[10:16] <arpa> I wrote one simple desktop with C for my self how can I set that desktop as default desktop on ubuntu
[10:16] <Tomcat_> Krappe: Ubuntu is sometimes set to use UTC time (=GMT) for the system clock... Linux will then calculate the difference correctly, while Windows wants to have the system clock on the "real" timezone.
[10:16] <Tomcat_> Krappe: Should only happen if you installed Windows *after* Linux though.
[10:16] <Shadow_mil> ocha, *
[10:16] <CheshireViking> keito, i find gFTP similat to cuteftp on windows, hope that helps
[10:16] <ramza3> logrotate.conf
[10:16] <arpa> !desktop
[10:16] <ubotu> A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM  and others.
[10:17] <keito> CheshireViking: will have a look
[10:17] <keito> CheshireViking: thanks
[10:17] <ocha> shadow_mil, what did ya say i mean it.  and i posted in flood
[10:17] <SpeakerMania> Tomcat_, I get an error that the file is not there. I know the file name and I tried again many times but no success. I really don't want to redo all my work.
[10:17] <Krappe> okay
[10:17] <CheshireViking> keito, no probs
[10:17] <arpa> I wrote one simple desktop with C for my self how can I set that desktop as default desktop on ubuntu
[10:17] <Krappe> thanks
[10:17] <Shadow_mil> ocha, ok awesome!  looks much better, see if firefox is working now!
[10:17] <Tomcat_> Krappe: The fix is to change "UTC=" in /etc/default/rcS to "no"
[10:18] <Krappe> thank you :)
[10:18] <Tomcat_> Krappe: After that you have to set a good time again, but that should be it.
[10:18] <keito> whats a good alternative to peerguardian.  I want to be able to enable blocking and disbale at the click of a button?!
[10:18] <jamesdell> Hi, what kind apps package was used for this sample screen shot with small taskbar that looks like mac os x? http://www.compentux.org/images/9/9f/HeliosDesktop.png
[10:18] <Tomcat_> SpeakerMania: Are you sure the name is correct? Be aware that Linux is case sensitive in files...
[10:18] <ocha> shadow_mil, checking now
[10:18] <SpeakerMania> Tomcat_, very sure.
[10:18] <arpa> I wrote one simple desktop with C for my self how can I set that desktop as default desktop on ubuntu

[10:18] <Shadow_mil> it does?
[10:18] <SpeakerMania> arpa, We saw it the first time. What do you mean?
[10:18] <Tomcat_> SpeakerMania: Was the file on a special file system? There are several Trash folders...
[10:18] <phantom19> ocha, any kind to manage usb flashdisk, articles would be enough..
[10:19] <Shadow_mil> ocha, does it work?
[10:19] <jamesdell> anyone?
[10:19] <ocha> shadow_mil, nope :)
[10:19] <phantom19> potlot, malang boss, aremania..
[10:19] <Tomcat_> SpeakerMania: If you have some time, you could do "sudo find / -iname <yourfile>" as well... that will find it.
[10:19] <arpa> I mean that I Wrote one desktop for my Self now I would setup it on ubuntu how can I do this?
[10:19] <ocha> jamesdell, repeat again

[10:19] <SpeakerMania> Tomcat_, No, just my Desktop. It was a PNG image. And I will try that, too.

[10:22] <ocha> shadow_mil, ill try it now
[10:22] <Tomcat_> SpeakerMania: The way its shown in the "find" output is how you need to use it in "mv".
[10:22] <phantom19> ocha, maybe in boring windows desktop it's called as eject flashdisk
[10:22] <Shadow_mil> ocha, ok
[10:22] <arpa> There is now any config file to set desktops ?
[10:22] <arpa> now = no

[10:23] <arpa> :((
[10:23] <Tomcat_> SpeakerMania: Close the window or Ctrl+C :)
[10:23] <Shadow_mil> ocha, did you do it?
[10:23] <arpa> Hey My question is about ubuntu shadow
[10:23] <ocha> shadow_mil, "sudo ifdown eth1"
[10:23] <SpeakerMania> Tomcat_, so I do "mv /home/steven/.Trash/header.png" and it will move to my home directory? Do I need "sudo"?
[10:23] <blackjackel> Well I know my ubuntu install is there, i just want to make it boot to it... how do i do that?
[10:23] <Shadow_mil> ocha, yeah
[10:23] <arpa> You are just the fool people that don't know anything about linux and only say Linux Linux Linux.....
[10:23] <arpa> =)))
[10:24] <phantom19> 0k
[10:24] <ocha> shadow_mil, "ifdown: interface eth1 not configured" thats what i meant to post sorry
[10:24] <SpeakerMania> blackjackel, change the boot sequence in your BIOS unless you have it on the same hard drive as another OS
[10:24] <Shadow_mil> WTF....
[10:24] <Tomcat_> SpeakerMania: You need to add a target at the end... like "/home/steven"
[10:24] <Tomcat_> SpeakerMania: No need to sudo.
[10:24] <blackjackel> SpeakerMania: Boot sequence? You mean change which drive it checks the bootloader for?
[10:24] <ocha> plantom19, what about boring windows?  when it comes to usb flash drive, unmount is the same as eject
[10:25] <mackyman> timfrost: I've done it atlast =)
[10:25] <blackjackel> SpeakerMania: Ah, and then I can change the other bootloader to boot to the first drive (windows).... right?
[10:25] <SpeakerMania> blackjackel, Yes. I grew up with Windows.
[10:25] <fotoflo> herm, whats  a good solution for downloading a whole website?
[10:25] <blackjackel> SpeakerMania: So did I :)
[10:25] <Terminus> fotoflo: wget?
[10:25] <blackjackel> SpeakerMania: But Ive always preferred 2000 over XP...
[10:25] <fotoflo> wget?
[10:25] <SpeakerMania> blackjackel, well then the term "boot sequence" should be familiar
[10:26] <blackjackel> SpeakerMania: I grew up with windows, but ive done such geeky stuff with windows that I feel I should have started with linux...
[10:26] <SpeakerMania> blackjackel, same here. :)
[10:26] <ocha> plantom19, right click on usb flash drive and unmount (this is ejecting the usb for safe removel)
[10:26] <Shan_> sudo fdisk -l does not show my secondary slave!!!!
[10:26] <Shan_> help?
[10:26] <SpeakerMania> blackjackel, same here. Linux is just so much easier and better.
[10:26] <Terminus> fotoflo: it's for downloading. can't remember the parameters but it should be able to download an entire website.
[10:26] <blackjackel> SpeakerMania: For example, back when everyone ran 98, I ran the windows 95 shell on 98 just to make it more stable
[10:26] <ocha> shadow_mil, you there
[10:26] <Shan_> sudo fdisk -l does not show my secondary slave!!!!
[10:26] <fotoflo> Terminus: reading the man page
[10:26] <stuart-> where do i go to change the Sound PCM levels again? the one at taskbar doesn't seem to do it
[10:26] <Shadow_mil> arpa, well if your so smart, you should know ;)    arpa honestly if your trying to load a desktop environment you made, that would involve loading it into gdm or something.  And this channel does not handle anything with that, this channel is for ubuntu related problems.  Unless I am mistaken you on something,  I don't think your problem is ubuntu related.
[10:27] <Shadow_mil> ocha, yes
[10:27] <blackjackel> SpeakerMania: well it was, which was how I understood you so quick, I'll try it
[10:27] <stuart-> or a console command would be better
[10:27] <Shadow_mil> ocha, ok what have you been doing with your network devices?
[10:27] <SpeakerMania> blackjackel, Nice. I was still running 95 when everyone went for 98 and 98SE
[10:27] <Shadow_mil> ocha, come clean lol
[10:27] <larsemil> so i am having this problem. i am having ubuntu-server dapper. and i need to install mencoder to decode some movies. but i cant find it in the resps.
[10:28] <ruairi> Hi, I'm trying to upgrade from Fiesty to Gutsy but update-manager -d doesn't seem to give me the option to upgrade, all it says is my packages are up to date, any ideas?
[10:28] <ocha> shadow_mil, i swear nothing, but trying to connect to the internet, and once in the while internet porn :p
[10:28] <blackjackel> SpeakerMania: I woulda still ran 95 but games werent compatible with it anymore... you know microsoft
[10:28] <SpeakerMania> Tomcat_, I still get this: mv: missing destination file operand after `/home/steven/.Trash/header.png'
[10:28] <stuart-> SpeakerMania, i was running 98SE when the craze was 2000/XP
[10:28] <phantom19> ocha,in my pinux system, there's isn't any of that menu exist, for me, it's no problem, but for another staff, they don't understand linux too much, it's a definite problem
[10:28] <larsemil> ruairi: think you have to change manually in /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:28] <ruairi> larsemil, is that still the case?
[10:28] <Camus> I can't seem to get any cronjobs to work or maybe I'm not understanding the concept
[10:28] <SpeakerMania> blackjackel, I am a huge fan of Microsoft, especially since Vista, but I'm not a fan of the huge monopoly they have made.
[10:28] <larsemil> ruairi: when upgrading to something that is not released yet i think so
[10:29] <jhaig> I have configured auto-login for a user on Feisty but the setting seems to be forgotten on reboot.  To get it back I have to go into the login window configuration, de-select auto-login and the re-select it.  Can anyone help?
[10:29] <SleepingSloth> how do I look T MY EXISTING KERNEL SETTINGS?
[10:29] <Shadow_mil> ocha, try "sudo ifconfig eth1 down"
[10:29] <SleepingSloth> oops - sorry about the caps
[10:29] <blackjackel> SpeakerMania: you're a fan of microsoft especially since vista? Vista blows chungs
[10:29] <ruairi> larsemil, thanks, i'll try that
[10:29] <ocha> phantom19, try to switch over to ubuntu, or even xubuntu, both are extremely easy to use.  it's a nice move from windows to a linux distro
[10:29] <SpeakerMania> blackjackel, not with a quad-core processor and running on my rig. ;)
[10:30] <phantom19> ocha, do you know how to attach an unmount menu when i click the right mouse button
[10:30] <SpeakerMania> Tomcat_, I still get this: mv: missing destination file operand after `/home/steven/.Trash/header.png'
[10:30] <timfrost> SpeakerMania: try 'mv /home/steven/.Trash/header.png ~/Desktop/' - mv needs source and destination
[10:30] <SpeakerMania> Ah, whoops.
[10:30] <SpeakerMania> Thank you, timfrost
[10:30] <dazjorz> Hi
[10:31] <dazjorz> How do I prevent dpkg-buildpackage from making clean before configure and make ?
[10:31] <SpeakerMania> timfrost, thank you.
[10:31] <Camus> is it possible to set up a cronjob to run a win32 program in wine?
[10:31] <phantom19> ocha, i'm now planning to miagrate the pinux into xubuntu, i choose the most user friendly linux that suite my computers
[10:31] <dazjorz> Camus: of course, just add it to crontab -e
[10:31] <Shadow_mil> ocha, same?
[10:32] <Camus> well I did a test cronjob (logging the date) that works
[10:32] <Camus> but the wine one doesn't
[10:32] <SpeakerMania> timfrost, Do you know why the Trash freezes when I open?
[10:32] <dazjorz> Camus: just add the line, the command is simply wine [win32program] 
[10:32] <fotoflo> Terminus: sweet, wget rocks
[10:32] <Camus> /usr/bin/wine /home/rob/mirc/mircstats.exe
[10:32] <Camus> ?
[10:33] <fotoflo> Terminus: thanks
[10:33] <SpeakerMania> timfrost, and can I empty the whole trash to say ~/Desktop/Trash by doing "mv ~/.Trash/* ~/Desktop/Trash"?
[10:33] <enry> anybody can advise me a good terminal music player?
[10:33] <dazjorz> Camus: Yeah, something like that
[10:33] <enry> anybody can advise me a good terminal music player?
[10:33] <dazjorz> Camus: Do you use mirc for IRC on Linux?
[10:33] <HackSign> amarok
[10:34] <dazjorz> Camus: thats.. um... kinda odd
[10:34] <dazjorz> enry: mpg321
[10:34] <HackSign> hi,there.i want to mount my directory '/home' to another place /dev/hda2
[10:34] <SpeakerMania> enry, we saw it the first time, no need to repost. When it gets bumped past the top of the screen then it is okay to repost
[10:34] <dazjorz> HackSign: amarok isn't terminal, afaik?
[10:34] <stuart-> dazjorz, no jokes. haha
[10:34] <Camus> strange, using kcron it will run fine if do 'run now'
[10:34] <HackSign> what should i do ?chang my 'fstab' file?
[10:34] <Shadow_mil> ocha, you there?
[10:34] <HackSign> dazjorz,ah~sorry ~
[10:34] <yohan> Has anyone gotten civ4 beyond the sword to work yet?
[10:34] <Camus> but it doesn't run it at set times
[10:34] <keito> can anyone enlighten me as to how return to the normal terminal after viewing a man page w/o closing and opening again?
[10:34] <dazjorz> stuart-: yeah... :/
[10:35] <HackSign> #i want to mount my directory '/home' to another place /dev/hda2
[10:35] <dazjorz> HackSign: okay, first, what partition type is /dev/hda2?
[10:35] <Shafto> Anyone know how i can change the splash screen i see at startup?
[10:35] <HackSign> dazjorz,ext3
[10:35] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, so I guess that one took it down lol?
[10:35] <ocha_> shadow_mil, hello?
[10:35] <stuart-> i wanna take ubuntu to the next level.. instead of just point and clicking. what's next?
[10:35] <dazjorz> HackSign: OK, that's ok, I myself recommend
[10:35] <dazjorz> er
[10:35] <timfrost> SpeakerMania: I don't know why the freeze happens.  If ~/Desktop/Trash is an *existing* directory, you should be able to move the contents of your trash with the command you posted, but I do *NOT* guarantee the results
[10:36] <ocha_> phantom19, you there still?
[10:36] <dazjorz> HackSign: you have two choices on how to do that
[10:36] <phantom19> ocha, i'm now planning to miagrate the pinux into xubuntu, i choose the most user friendly linux that suite my computers
[10:36] <SpeakerMania> timfrost, Okay, thank you.
[10:36] <dazjorz> HackSign: you can either mount /dev/hda2 to /home, or make a directory on /dev/hda2 and then bind /media/hda2 to /home
[10:36] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, did you restart or use "sudo ifconfig eth1 up" ?
[10:36] <ocha_> shadow_mil, hahahah. yea. sudo ifconfig eht1 up didn't work :(
[10:36] <dazjorz> HackSign: on my system, I've done the second thing
[10:36] <phantom19> ocha, i'm here..
[10:36] <ocha_> shadow_mil, thank god for hard restart
[10:36] <dazjorz> HackSign: but it depends on what you want
[10:37] <HackSign> dazjorz,waht do u mean by 'what do u want'?
[10:37] <enry>  hear about a terminal music player wich can build playlist etc... like amarok in a semi-graphical mode
[10:37] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, post the contents of /etc/network/interfaces in #flood
[10:37] <keito> can anyone enlighten me as to how return to the normal terminal after viewing a man page w/o closing and opening again?
[10:37] <Shafto> keito, Q
[10:37] <dazjorz> HackSign: I gave you two methods to do what you want, which do you prefer?
[10:38] <keito> Shafto: thank you
[10:38] <keito> Shafto: LEGEND!
[10:38] <dazjorz> heh
[10:38] <dazjorz> keito: man man
[10:38] <dazjorz> ;)
[10:38] <HackSign> oh ,i want mount /home directory to partition /dev/hda2
[10:38] <SpeakerMania> timfrost, The freeze was because my Trash is full with 86 items or so. The Trash now opens fine, but ~/Desktop/Trash doesn't, so I know the move was successful.
[10:38] <HackSign> dazjorz,i want mount /home directory to partition /dev/hda2
[10:38] <dazjorz> HackSign: I think you want to mount partition /dev/hda2 to /home :)
[10:38] <keito> Shafto: lol (n00b) -- never thought of that
[10:39] <HackSign> ....
[10:39] <dazjorz> ;)
[10:39] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, you know what, it does not matter.  their is no reason why you should be having any problems.
[10:39] <dazjorz> HackSign: It's a way of writing, the device name is /dev/hda2 and you mount devices to filesystem points ;)
[10:39] <ocha_> shadow_mil, sigh
[10:39] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, we do know your connected on eth1
[10:39] <dazjorz> HackSign: Okay, now, do you already have /home on /dev/hda2 or is it still on your root device?
[10:40] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, and it seems to be saying that eth1 is no configured
[10:40] <HackSign> ah~ the second
[10:40] <Olgem> should I format my usb key to ext2 or ext3?
[10:40] <dazjorz> HackSign: okay, are you logged in on this machine at the moment?
[10:40] <HackSign> right
[10:40] <ocha_> shadow_mil, what now?
[10:41] <Terminus> Olgem: FAT if you want it to work anywhere. :)
[10:41] <dazjorz> HackSign: you can't move your /home while you're logged in
[10:41] <dazjorz> HackSign: Do you use grub as a bootloader?
[10:41] <ocha_> shadow_mil, let me check again, if windows are getting internet
[10:41] <HackSign> dazjorz,i know
[10:41] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, wait
[10:41] <HackSign> dazjorz,yes i do
[10:41] <Shadow_mil> lets try ONE last thing
[10:41] <blackjackel> hey where can I get envy? their main link is down
[10:41] <antonio_> buenos dias
[10:41] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, *
[10:41] <dazjorz> HackSign: For every kernel version, by default, there's a line saying 'recovery mode', too
[10:41] <dazjorz> HackSign: this line places you in maintenance mode right after boot
[10:41] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, run "sudo ifconfig eth1"
[10:42] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, that *should* reconfigure that device
[10:42] <blackjackel> anyone know where I can get envy? their main link is down
[10:42] <dazjorz> HackSign: maintenance mode is a single-user system, which means, only you are physically logged in and no services are running, which means that the only files in use are the files that *you* use
[10:42] <memobandit> blackjackel, sorry, but no, i dont
[10:42] <blackjackel> ahh oh well, thanks anyway!
[10:42] <HackSign> dazjorz,i see
[10:42] <memobandit> i think it was down when i tried to visit it yesterday
[10:42] <dazjorz> HackSign: When in maintenance mode, you mount /dev/hda2 to /media/hda2, then cd /home, mv * /media/hda2
[10:43] <dazjorz> HackSign: then umount /media/hda2 and mount /dev/hda2 /home
[10:43] <stuart-> blackjackel, it's in my trash.i just downloaded it yesterday
[10:43] <dazjorz> HackSign: if that works correctly, you can edit /etc/fstab
[10:43] <blackjackel> ooo
[10:43] <stuart-> blackjackel, if you don't mind i can send it over
[10:43] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, you do it?
[10:43] <blackjackel> can you gimmie?
[10:43] <blackjackel> sure =D
[10:43] <dazjorz> HackSign: but be careful, if it goes wrong, you might be unable to boot
[10:43] <blackjackel> hey hold on
[10:44] <blackjackel> let me log on with the other compy
[10:44] <HackSign> dazjorz,is other directories the same like this ?
[10:44] <phantom19> ocha, do you know how to attach an unmount menu when i click the right mouse button ?
[10:44] <blackjackel> the one im trying to install it on
[10:44] <stuart-> blackjackel, is it 445kb? it might be a partial download
[10:45] <dazjorz> HackSign: if you've moved the contents of your /home to the hard drive partition, edit your fstab, scan for /dev/hda2 and if it's there, change the mount point to /home, if not, add this line: /dev/hda2 /home ext3 defaults,errors=remoount-ro 0 1
[10:45] <blackjackel> I dont know
[10:45] <dazjorz> HackSign: not all, there are directories that *must* be on your /
[10:45] <dazjorz> HackSign: but /var and /home are OK
[10:45] <HackSign> dazjorz,what about /usr ?
[10:45] <ocha_> shadow_mil, back
[10:46] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, run "sudo ifconfig eth1"
[10:46] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, that *should* reconfigure that device
[10:46] <dazjorz> HackSign: /usr is OK too
[10:46] <dazjorz> as far as I know
[10:46] <blackjackel> stuart- I dont know how big it is
[10:46] <HackSign> dazjorz,:)
[10:46] <blackjackel> stuart- I installed the restricted drivers through ubuntu and now it wont boot
[10:46] <dazjorz> HackSign: one important one *not* to move is /etc (for logical reasons: it contains fstab, so it wouldn't be able to mount itself)
[10:46] <davidc> sup!
[10:47] <HackSign> dazjorz,ok i see
[10:47] <ocha_> shadow_mil, see my post in flood?
[10:47] <davidc> hey guys, I'm having some trouble with gparted.
[10:47] <SleepingSloth> is there a way I can check my existing kernel settings (modules etc) ?
[10:47] <davidc> been trying to reformat one of my old ntfs partition
[10:48] <SleepingSloth> ie to see if a specific option is set/unset?
[10:48] <davidc> opened up gparted, and it says "unable to find mount point"
[10:48] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, did it work in windows?
[10:48] <HackSign> dazjorz,thanks !it's very nice of u  ~
[10:48] <ocha_> shadow_mil, yep
[10:49] <blackjackel> I cant log into my ubuntu because I enabled my graphics drivers
[10:49] <davidc> anybody? :(
[10:49] <stuart-> blackjackel, the enxt time that happens, if it brings you to prompt, login and 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[10:49] <ocha_> shadow_mil, the sudo ifconfig eth1 didn't work
[10:49] <phantom19> ocha, r u online everyday?
[10:49] <stuart-> blackjackel, find nvidia and change it to nv or vesa
[10:49] <dazjorz> HackSign: good luck :)
[10:49] <stuart-> blackjackel, it should be able to boot for you to re-do whatever it is you wanna do on that pc again
[10:50] <blackjackel> stuart- it wont take me to the login
[10:50] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, whats your IP in windows?
[10:50] <blackjackel> stuart- It takes me to a blank screen where I can type
[10:50] <stuart-> blackjackel, i have no idea how to get there either. i suffer from that too. does it give you an option of viewing the error logs or something?
[10:50] <blackjackel> stuart- but not the login
[10:50] <blackjackel> stuart- ya it does
[10:50] <stuart-> blackjackel, sometimes after reading the error logs i get the chance to go to prompt
[10:50] <ocha_> shadow_mil, on the laptop, or a random desktop?
[10:50] <Shadow_mil> laptop
[10:50] <blackjackel> stuart- ya I got that last time
[10:51] <phantom19> ocha, i'm going home, can i contact u again tomorrow?
[10:51] <stuart-> blackjackel, anyways i gotta send the file now, gotta jet
[10:51] <stuart-> blackjackel, where to?
[10:51] <macabro23> may someone help me here?
[10:51] <ocha_> phantom19, oh couse
[10:51] <ocha_> phantom19, you use any messager?
[10:51] <blackjackel> stuart- na thanks anyways
[10:51] <macabro23> I cant log on ubuntu using my olg XGL Script
[10:51] <macabro23> http://www.pastebin.ca/635676
[10:51] <stuart-> blackjackel, and use the prompt envy -t later instead of the GUI for your first time
[10:51] <blackjackel> stuart- I need to reinstall ubuntu =(
[10:51] <stuart-> blackjackel, k. cya and good luck
[10:51] <blackjackel> stuart- thanks bro
[10:51] <davidc> don't use 64 bit nvidia, backjackel
[10:52] <davidc> I mean 64bit ubuntu
[10:52] <macabro23> whats crappening?
[10:52] <davidc> I had the same problem as you did
[10:52] <blackjackel> Hey guys I cant log in, it takes me into a blank screen where I can type but do nothing else
[10:52] <davidc> downgraded down to 32bit and it works like a charm :)
[10:52] <phantom19> ocha, yup, do you?
[10:52] <davidc> blackjackel, check if you have a backup xorg.conf
[10:52] <davidc> in that same directory
[10:52] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, test the connection on this laptop in windows, and get the IP
[10:52] <ocha_> phantom19, a few. yahoo, msn, aim, and xfire, and irc too, i guess if ya count hat
[10:53] <blackjackel> davidc I just installed I dont have anything
[10:53] <dazjorz> ofcourse we count irc as a messenger ocha_ :)
[10:53] <ocha_> shadow_mil, ill have to leave though, im on the laptop, but the ubuntu partition
[10:53] <dazjorz> it's as instant as the rest ;)
[10:53] <davidc> what gfx card are you using?
[10:53] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, thats fine
[10:53] <ocha_> dazjorz, :p
[10:53] <ocha_> phantom19,l you use yahii?
[10:54] <VSpike> Heyas... my session has locked up totally.  Mouse still moves, but ctrl-alt-bksp and ctrl-alt-f1 don't work... luckily I have another machine and I've ssh'd in.  htop shows an instance of X hogging 100% CPU.  I've tried SIGHUP, SIGKILL, SIGTERM and SIGQUIT but it won't exit... what can I do next?
[10:54] <Shafto> blackjackel, Sounds like an X problem..... I'd check inside /var/log/Xorg.0.log  on the last lines for any errors, starting (EE)
[10:54] <ocha_> phantom19, you there?
[10:55] <VSpike> Is there a SIGREALLYDIEIMEANITGODDAMIT ?
[10:55] <ocha_> shadow_mil, you want me to make an static ip out of my windows ip?
[10:55] <dazjorz> VSpike: if SIGKILL doesn't kill it, something is very broken
[10:55] <HymnToLife> VSpike, yep, pull the plug
[10:55] <dazjorz> VSpike: SIGKILL may not be caught and the application *must* exit immediately...
[10:56] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, no, I want to know the one the router gave it to.
[10:56] <davidc> anybody know where's the conf. file for ubuntu's native bittorrent client?
[10:56] <VSpike> HymnToLife: but you *never* have to restart linux :)
[10:56] <davidc> I want to change my port.
[10:56] <VSpike> dazjorz: I'll try it again, just in case it was finger trouble
[10:56] <ocha_> shadow_mil, do you use private message in irc?
[10:56] <phantom19> ocha, what's ur id at Yahoo?
[10:56] <SpeakerMania> quit "Bye bye"
[10:56] <Shadow_mil> sure
[10:57] <SpeakerMania> Whoops
[10:57] <SpeakerMania> quit
[10:57] <dazjorz> hah
[10:57] <ocha_> plantom19, did you get it?
[10:58] <VSpike> dazjorz: finger trouble - was missing the magic "sudo"
[10:58] <Olgem> how do I turn off automount? Its making it so I can't format stuff with gparted
[10:59] <phantom19> ocha, no
[10:59] <Camus> how can I view the cron log file?
[10:59] <davidc> Olgem, same problem
[10:59] <davidc> I'm trying to format one of my partitions to ext3 from ntfs
[10:59] <flash42> helo
[10:59] <davidc> and I just can't do it :(
[10:59] <ocha_> plantom19, fodfateofdeath
[10:59] <ocha_> plantom19, whats yours id?
[11:00] <blackjackel> is there a way to download and install envy without having a gui? I just screwed up my xserver...
[11:00] <phantom19> ocha, ur mesenger active?
[11:00] <viller> if I run commands on CLI the history is stored in .bash_history only?
[11:00] <viller> or in a log at /var/log?
[11:00] <VSpike> It's all very well having a super reliable OS... if only it had a super reliable windowing system too :)
[11:01] <ocha_> phantom19, im sorry. what do you mean?  am i online right now?
[11:01] <viller> blackjackel: there's apt-get and aptitude
[11:01] <viller> blackjackel: sudo apt-get install packagename
[11:01] <timfrost> viller: only in .bash_history
[11:01] <blackjackel> viller: i tried apt-get install but it wont find it
[11:01] <davidc> how do I unmount a device?
[11:01] <dazjorz> viller: and only if you use bash ;)
[11:01] <dazjorz> blackjackel: apt-cache search
[11:02] <Shadow_mil> davidc, you throw your PC against the wall then smash it with a hammer
[11:02] <davidc> shadow, is that supposed to be funny?
[11:02] <viller> so if I do "cat /etc/passwd" noone comes telling me I'm guilty of something :D?
[11:02] <phantom19> ocha, do your yahoo mesengger active now?
[11:02] <timfrost> blackjackel: try 'apt-get install envy'
[11:02] <CheshireViking> blackjackel, i don't think envy its in the standard repo's so thats probably why it doesnt get found unless you've added another repo that includes it
[11:02] <ocha_> phantom19, add me.  ill take it. i must be right back.
[11:02] <phantom19> ocha, i'm going to contact your YM
[11:02] <ocha_> phantom19, not at the moment
[11:03] <blackjackel> Timfrost: already tried that, dosent find that package
[11:03] <Olgem> how does ubuntu do auto-mounting and how do I turn it off?
[11:03] <dazjorz> How do I recursively copy a directory using scp?
[11:03] <Shadow_mil> davidc, sorry.... its 5AM and ocha_'s wireless router wishes me to kill myself
[11:03] <blackjackel> CheshireViking: yeah your probably right, i just want to get my xserver working again
[11:03] <fotoflo_> &hellip;  << what charicter is that?
[11:03] <dazjorz> ah, -r
[11:03] <ocha_> phantom19,  oh kay.
[11:03] <Shadow_mil> davidc, "sudo umount /dev/device"
[11:03] <ocha_> shadow_mil, i private message you,  yea
[11:03] <timfrost> blackjackel: is the package in the repositories for your distribution?
[11:03] <davidc> shadow, thanks.
[11:04] <Shafto> Olgem, Probably using autofs
[11:04] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, do you have a registered nick?
[11:04] <bullgard4> Is the event-driven system Upstart now in Ubuntu 7.03 fully implemented and has completely replaced the BSD System V runlevels?
[11:04] <ocha_> shadow_mil, i restart now.  and it's late here and i need meds again
[11:04] <ocha_> shadow_mil, no how do i do that?
[11:04] <dazjorz> ocha_: you can't private message, you're not defined
[11:04] <Shafto> !upstart | bullgard4
[11:04] <ubotu> bullgard4: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[11:04] <CheshireViking> blackjackel, what graphics card do have? if its nvidia, have you thought about changing your xorg.conf to replace the nvidia one with "nv" and then restarting X?
[11:04] <chowmeined> so does the ubuntu-server build support only the new sparcs? or also other ultrasparcs?
[11:04] <Shadow_mil> ocha_, just join #shadowmil
[11:04] <dazjorz> ocha_: /msg nickserv help register /msg nickserv help identify
[11:04] <viller> if I do "cat /etc/passwd" noone comes telling me I'm guilty (it's not in the logs)?
[11:04] <dazjorz> ocha_: most clients can auto-identify
[11:04] <davidc> gah.
[11:04] <davidc> that device is not even mounted.
[11:05] <bullgard4> Shadow_mil: Your response does not answer my question.
[11:05] <dazjorz> viller: you can't do that, probably, since /etc/passwd is by default unreadable by anyone but rootr
[11:05] <dazjorz> root*
[11:05] <davidc> trying to reformat this bloody ntfs partition with gparted to no avail
[11:05] <Shadow_mil> bullgard4, I responded to a question of yours?
[11:05] <ocha_> dazjorz, but now. i got a ugly underscore next to my name, how do i fix that
[11:05] <davidc> oh windows, why must you haunt me so :(
[11:05] <viller> dazjorz: imagine I can
[11:05] <dazjorz> viller: then it'll only be in .bash_history
[11:05] <bullgard4> Shadow_mil: No, excuse me. I made a mistake.
[11:06] <viller> dazjorz: thanks
[11:06] <Gibby82> Greetings. Ubuntu newb trying to install a basic install on a nvidia 7025 with a RAID1 array. I've loaded dmraid in the GUI setup and can see the array, but it will only allow me to create one partition then tells me the rest is unusable. How do I first format the array and then properly create the partitions needed?
[11:06] <dazjorz> ocha_: /nick ocha
[11:06] <viller> I deleted .bash_history but there isn't a new one generated. Is that normal?
[11:06] <VSpike> dazjorz: as a general rule, when trying to free a frozen process, what order of escalation of signals should you try sending it?
[11:06] <dazjorz> ocha: it looks like the 'ocha' user already exists
[11:06] <chrisellis> anyone know why applications open fine but when typing text is laggy
[11:06] <dazjorz> ocha: unless it's yours, you best choose another nick
[11:06] <Gibby82> also-I had the partitions built and tried to install but it did not work.
[11:07] <ocha> dazjorz, i think it's mine
[11:07] <timfrost> dazjorz: /etc/passwd *is* readable by everyone.  /etc/shadow, which holds the passwords in Ubuntu, is *NOT*
[11:07] <ocha>  /msg nickserv help identify
[11:07] <dazjorz> ocha: and it's probably not yours, since that user is italian and you seem to be ... either english, american, I see 'il' for israel, or something else
[11:07] <davidc> anybody able to help me out?
[11:07] <viller> timfrost: debian has shadow too?
[11:07] <dazjorz> timfrost: I've seen systems on which /etc/passwd was readable only by root, iirc
[11:07] <Slahser> hi people, just wondering if anyone knows if this is the correct path for openssl "/etc/ssl" please, 'cause I'm trying to compile an eggdrop with ssl support but it keeps shouting at me that it can't find openssl so I'm trying to compile it with the --use-ssl=PATH switch
[11:07] <ocha> dazjorz, im using it though, but anyways. it's japanese
[11:08] <ocha> dazjorz, can i not rigster it?
[11:08] <dazjorz> ocha:
[11:08] <dazjorz> ocha: You best message a staffer, they might help you
[11:08] <dazjorz> ocha: SeJo is logged in as a staffr, you can /msg him to ask if you can have the nick
[11:08] <blackjackel> ok i solved my x problem, and for some reason envy works now on their main website... they JUST fixed it
[11:08] <ocha> dazjorz, thanks
[11:09] <timfrost> viller: most Linux distributions use shadow passwords.
[11:10] <viller> why is it good to use shadow?
[11:11] <viller> why not just make passwd readable by root only
[11:11] <davidc> anyone can help me with gparted? I have gparted running and I'm trying to reformat this partition that resides on /dev/sda5 (its not mounted, but I can access it). I want to reformat it to ext3 from ntfs. but gparted says it cannot find the mount point and wouldn't let me format. Any ideas?
[11:11] <timfrost> dazjorz: unlikely, because many things need to get data from /etc/passwd (ls can't tell you the name of the owner of the file, in 'ls -l' unless the lookup in /etc/passwd can be done)
[11:12] <davidc> oh hey I've got a new error
[11:12] <davidc> "/media/sda5 mount disagrees with the fstab"
[11:13] <Gibby82> Greetings. Ubuntu newb trying to install a basic install on a nvidia 7025 with a RAID1 array. I've loaded dmraid in the GUI setup and can see the array, but it will only allow me to create one partition then tells me the rest is unusable. How do I format the array and then properly create the partitions needed?
[11:13] <timfrost> viller, the split is because programs like ls need to map uid # to login name, which is done in /etc/passwd, but only the login processes need access to the password itself
[11:15] <dazjorz> timfrost: ah, yes, that makes sense
[11:15] <rapid> howto install an rpm
[11:15] <rapid> ?? rpm
[11:15] <Flannel> rapid: What are you trying to install?
[11:15] <rapid> umm
[11:15] <dazjorz> rapid: convert it to deb using alien, then dpkg -i install it
[11:15] <dazjorz> rapid: make sure there are no deb packages already there
[11:16] <rapid> its just a java jre shrug
[11:16] <Flannel> rapid: java is in the repositories
[11:16] <Flannel> !java | rapid
[11:16] <ubotu> rapid: 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
[11:18] <ocha> hello all
[11:18] <timfrost> davidc, have you changed the partition type?  If so, use mke2fs to create the filesystem on the partition, and edit /etc/fstab to specify the new partition type and mount point. Both activities need to be done as root
[11:18] <davidc> timfrost:  I haven't done anything :(
[11:18] <davidc> it just doesn't work for some reason.
[11:18] <oma1> hey i have a problem with my modem, i don't think it's a win modem, i configured and enabled it, but i cannot seem to be able to activate it using the modem monitor applet

[11:20] <INDRI> HAI SONIC
[11:22] <dan__> Anybody know why when I turn on Desktop effects, I can no longer switch between workspaces?
[11:22] <SleepingSloth> dan__ - from memory, I had problems like that - have you tried beryl?
[11:23] <Flannel> dan__: It's a known bug (I don't have a number, or a fix off the top of my head), try #ubuntu-effects
[11:23] <dan__> No, I have not.  I'd love to ask you what it is, but my guess is I can easily find the answer to that with some research.
[11:24] <dan__> Alright.  I figured that was the case as it clearly states the feature is unsupported.
[11:24] <dan__> Thanks for your help.
[11:24] <SleepingSloth> dan__ - what graphics card do you have?
[11:24] <ocha> phantom19, you there?
[11:24] <dan__> Some crappy 32MB Nvidia card in an old Dell laptop.
[11:25] <CheshireViking> dan__, what laptop, i've got a dell 8100 which has a 32Mb nvidia geforce2 go graphics card
[11:26] <dan__> The weird thing is... yesterday it worked fine!  And today, after changing no settings, it's completely not working.  As for the laptop, its an Inspiron 8200
[11:26] <CheshireViking> dan__, sounds like it might be the same or at least similar graphics card
[11:26] <timfrost> davidc: I don't know that gparted is what you need.  To convert a disk partition from NTFS to EXT3, you need to change the type in the partition table, with fdisk or equivalent, then format the partition (mke2fs or equivalent), then add an entry to /etc/fstab
[11:26] <dan__> It probably is.
[11:27] <CheshireViking> dan__, must admit i can't get desktop effects working on mine, but i've not tried that hard as i wouldn't use it anyway
[11:27] <davidc> timfrost: to change the type in the partition table, shouldn't editing /etc/fstab be sufficient?
[11:28] <dan__> If it hadn't worked before I might be a bit more understanding of the issue.  Alas though, it is not that big of a deal.  The cube was pretty neat though :)
[11:29] <dan__> Thats funny you have a similar laptop though.  I actually got mine from a relative after she finished college a year ago.   The thing is great!  My only complaint are the noisy fans
[11:29] <ocha>  /msg nickserv help register
[11:30] <dan__> Anyway gentlemen/ladies... thanks for your help.  Take it easy.
[11:31] <Shadow_mil> how can I get the IP address of the DHCP server that assigend a eth device a IP?
[11:31] <timfrost> Davidc, no.  The partition type is stored in the partition table, and should be changed to 83
[11:32] <jamesdell> Shadow_mil: issue this command "dhclient <eth-name>"
[11:32] <Enselic> Shadow_mil: it's generally the gateway
[11:32] <davidc> timfrost: how do I do that?
[11:33] <Shadow_mil> Enselic, how can I get the gateway lol ifconfig does not give it
[11:34] <blackjackel> I'm getting really really really really low sound, I can hear sound but only if I turn the sound all the way up and stick my ear on the speaker...
[11:35] <Shadow_mil> blackjackel run alsamixer and make sure its up in there
[11:35] <Shafto> blackjackel, Try running... 'amixer set Master 100% && amixer set PCM 90%' Just to check your sound is fully turned up :)
[11:35] <timfrost> davidc: if the disk with this partition is is /dev/hda, run 'sudo fdisk /dev/hda'.  Issue the command 't' for type, then select the partition number, then supply the new type of 83.  Then save the table, and exit
[11:35] <Enselic> Shadow_mil: tracepath google.com and see where the packet goes first
[11:35] <blackjackel> is there a gui frontend to alsamixer amixer?
[11:36] <Enselic> blackjackel: yes, gnome-alsamixer
[11:36] <Gibby82> you know-with as popular as software raid is these days, it should be part of the GUI install
[11:37] <Enselic> Shadow_mil: or second, rather
[11:37] <Gibby82> I'm about ready to say screw this
[11:37] <davidc> timfrost: how do I know which partition number is it on?
[11:38] <timfrost> davidc, sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda will list the partitions on /dev/hda
[11:38] <blackjackel> thanks guys, apparently that was the problem... sound was set to near 0... why would the feisty creators do that?
[11:38] <howlingmadhowie> hello lots of people :)
[11:38] <Elyssa-Sylverwin> hello Howie
[11:38] <Shadow_mil> Enselic, ?
[11:38] <howlingmadhowie> blackjackel: as a default value for sound volume, 0 does make a lot of sense
[11:39] <davidc> timfrost: if I want to reformat the whole drive into ext3?
[11:39] <timfrost> davidc, the partition number is the number (eg 6 for /dev/hda6)
[11:39] <blackjackel> howlingmadhowie: not really, newbies like me would spend hours trying to figure out problems with drivers and such :/
[11:39] <davidc> did a davidc@grimlock:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda5
[11:39] <davidc> and I got 4 weird partitions
[11:39] <Enselic> Shadow_mil: the second tracepath hit is likely to be your DHCP server
[11:39] <howlingmadhowie> blackjackel: you have a point, but you can probably see my point too. 0 means that whatever hardware the user has attached, it can't be damaged
[11:39] <davidc> I want the whole of /dev/sda5 to be formated into one
[11:39] <bene> could someone tell me why I could not open localhost/typo3 after I had installed it with apt-get install typo3?
[11:40] <blackjackel> howlingmadhowie: yeah, i see :)
[11:40] <timfrost> davidc, for the whole disk, I would delete all existing partitions, and create one primary partition filling the disk, then use that partition
[11:40] <howlingmadhowie> blackjackel: it's a bit like rolls-royce cabrios only opening their roofs if they're in reverse
[11:40] <blackjackel> howlingmadhowie: huh? lol
[11:40] <Gibby82> Can anyone point me to a resource that I can read to install Ubuntu on an nvraid 1 array?
[11:41] <Gibby82> something easily done and simple to do?
[11:41] <davidc> timfrost: deleted partition 1-4
[11:41] <timfrost> davidc, gparted may be OK for that exercise, but I think you will still need to run mkfs.ext3 as a later step
[11:41] <Shafto> Gibby82, I think #ubuntu-server could be a good idea?
[11:42] <davidc> timfrost: the thing is, gparted doesn't even work
[11:42] <howlingmadhowie> bene: i've never used type3. my first bet would be to look at /var/www/ and see if there's a folder called typo3 in there
[11:43] <timfrost> davidc, then fdisk is definitely your friend.  Create the new partition, and select type 83 for it
[11:43] <Lustblader> hi
[11:43] <bene> howlingmadhowie: there is nothing, that was the first I was looking for
[11:44] <howlingmadhowie> Gibby82: if there is an installation script for the desktop version of ubuntu which takes advantage of raid arrays, i've never heard of it. i imagine the server-install cd can do this. then you just have to install the ubuntu-desktop package afterwards
[11:44] <howlingmadhowie> bene: maybe there's a typo3 configuration utility which will generate that.
[11:46] <timfrost> Gibby82, howlingmadhowie, the alternate CD *may* support RAID.  The desktop CD won't.
[11:46] <whazilla> so
[11:46] <howlingmadhowie> bene: there are two packages called "typo3-testsite" and "typo3-quickstart" . maybe they'll help you here
[11:46] <whazilla> can anybody help me
[11:46] <diogo> hello everyone
[11:46] <whazilla> with the live or alternate cd not recognizing my hdd
[11:46] <whazilla> hi diogo
[11:47] <Gibby82> how is it that there are a million SATA motherboards with software raid available and it's left out of the install?
[11:47] <Gibby82> makes no sense
[11:47] <diogo> how i start my ex. HD on ubuntu?? cant make it work!! :(
[11:47] <howlingmadhowie> bene: i'm just installing it now. i'll let you know what i do to get it to work (if i can get it to work)
[11:48] <bene> hehe
[11:48] <bene> I install the quickstart pakage right now
[11:48] <diogo> ok
[11:48] <bene> befor that I had installes typo3 typo3-testsite
[11:48] <savvas> diogo: you plug it in USB, wait a minute and go to terminal and you check if it's detected by typing: lsusb
[11:49] <wers> how do I change the colors of texts using gnome color chooser?
[11:49] <Lustblader> diogo: try pluging out n in the external HD
[11:50] <diogo> ok i found it on terminal....
[11:50] <iNcrease> how can i disconnect me and reconnect me from the internet (console command)
[11:50] <waveler> how do i install creative soundblaster live on ubuntu?
[11:51] <diogo> but where i find it on the desktop??
[11:51] <Lustblader> /media
[11:51] <Lustblader> inside that
[11:51] <bene> howlingmadhowie: hmm
[11:51] <odhik> HI EUERYONE
[11:51] <odhik> what edition of Ubuntu that can be installed on pentium 2 -300 mhz, and 64 mb RAM? thx..
[11:51] <howlingmadhowie> bene: is it doing anything?
[11:51] <jussi01> odhik: none
[11:52] <jussi01> odhik: look at dsl or puppy linux
[11:52] <jussi01> dsl is a good option
[11:52] <ELSO|ReiNDeer> i agree
[11:52] <howlingmadhowie> odhik: that's a bit too little for kubuntu. have a look at fluxbuntu, but you may be better off with a really light-weigth system like dsl or puppy. you could of course do an alternative install of xubuntu and then try to lighten it as much as possible
[11:52] <blackjackel> Ok theres one last thing to get working before this ubuntu install is fully functional.... I know i'm asking a lot here, but believe me i'm doing things on my own and only asking when I get stuck.... right now I have a raid array with my windows install on it, I need to get linux to read this raid array and see the NTFS filesystem... is this possible?
[11:52] <waveler> anyone knows how to install my souncard (creative external soundblaster live)?
[11:53] <Lustblader> waveler: do u have the drivers that came along with it???
[11:53] <jussi01> !raid
[11:53] <ubotu> Raid and LVM --> very easy guide for alternate CD : http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/raid.html Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[11:53] <savvas> diogo: is it NTFS (Windows partition)?
[11:53] <bene> howlingmadhowie: no =(
[11:53] <Lustblader> waveler:  a cd if possible?
[11:53] <waveler> the drivers are for windows only
[11:53] <Lustblader> hmmm
[11:53] <Lustblader> n u sure that linux isn't recognising it automatically?
[11:54] <iNcrease> how can i disconnect me and reconnect me from the network... (console commands)
[11:54] <waveler> its recognizing it but its not working
[11:54] <diogo> i don't know! think so!!!! but i found it on terminal!!!
[11:54] <Lustblader> iNcrease: what type connection boyo??
[11:54] <iNcrease> lustblader, ppp
[11:54] <savvas> diogo: did you format the drive while you were using windows?
[11:54] <Lustblader> pppoe or pppoa
[11:54] <Lustblader> ??
[11:54] <iNcrease> oe
[11:54] <thelonen00b> asdf
[11:55] <Lustblader> good
[11:55] <diogo> ye...
[11:55] <Lustblader> u can disconeect using pppoepoff
[11:55] <Lustblader> or poff
[11:55] <diogo> thats the probem!!!??
[11:55] <Lustblader> dunno whic
[11:55] <waveler> no sound is coming out of the soundcard
[11:55] <waveler> what will i do?
[11:55] <iNcrease> lustblader, ok ill try
[11:55] <kazukisan> I have a External USB drive that is now a JFS partition, I want it to auto mount when linux boots or when i plug it in, im using feisty.
[11:55] <Lustblader> waveler: is the rest yer comp ok?
[11:56] <thelonen00b> anyone know a way to display FPS for openGL apps
[11:56] <Lustblader> volume, speaker
[11:56] <savvas> diogo: probably you have to load it as ntfs, install gpart by typing in terminal: sudo apt-get install gpart
[11:56] <Lustblader> etc etc waveler
[11:57] <Lustblader> gpart comes pre installed with both kubuntu n ubuntu right savvas
[11:57] <Lustblader> ??
[11:57] <waveler> the volume is full, i set it as the soundcard on the preference but sounds wont come out
[11:57] <savvas> Lustblader: nope, only on live cd, I just did a format here, and it's not installed :)
[11:58] <waveler> the sound is still coming out of the built in soundcard
[11:58] <kazukisan> I have a External USB drive that is now a JFS partition, I want it to auto mount when linux boots or when i plug it in, im using feisty.
[11:58] <Lustblader> oh ok
[11:58] <Lustblader> hold on waveler
[11:58] <waveler> ok
[11:58] <rapha> Hi all!
[11:58] <Sache> would a external hdd be slower than an ide one under uuntu?
[11:59] <Sache> hi
[11:59] <Hoggster> Hi, I have an 8mb broadband connection but since I started using ubuntu I have been unable to get speeds faster than 2mb, can anyone help please?
[11:59] <savvas> diogo: sorry, my mistake, the package is gparted: sudo apt-get install gparted
[11:59] <Lustblader> Sache: makes no difference
[12:00] <Lustblader> no perceivable difference*
[12:00] <diogo> savvas: ok...thanks
[12:00] <savvas> Hoggster: some servers limit their bandwidths so you can't get the full speed
[12:00] <mudman> i formatted the hdd with ubuntu and am going to partition it to dual boot with windows. can someone point me to a link
[12:01] <howlingmadhowie> bene: if you can read german http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/TYPO3
[12:01] <Sache> ok
[12:01] <savvas> diogo: we're not done yet, gparted is a partition manager which will help you identify the 'name' and type of format your external hard drive uses
[12:01] <howlingmadhowie> bene: if not, we can open a private chat and i can guide you through it (provided the german instructions work)
[12:01] <diogo> ok
[12:01] <savvas> diogo: have you installed it?
[12:01] <Lustblader> what kinda link mudman
[12:01] <Lustblader> ?
[12:01] <Lustblader> something naughty??
[12:02] <mudman> very naughty
[12:02] <mudman> or how do i get qtparted to run as su
[12:02] <diogo> savvas: yes
[12:02] <Hoggster> I was able to get speeds of up t 6mb when I was using windows savvas
[12:02] <Sache> hoggester
[12:02] <savvas> Hoggster: try this speedtest: http://www.speedtest.net/
[12:03] <Lustblader> do u have the live cd mudman
[12:03] <Lustblader> ?
[12:03] <rapha> Is there any software (command line app preferred) to add a frame of x pixels in color y or with texture z around a JPG image?
[12:03] <Sache> u use firefox?
[12:03] <mudman> yes, but i would have to get up to get it :(
[12:03] <savvas> diogo: ok now go to menu: System > Administration > Gnome Partition editor
[12:03] <Lustblader> my updates just got over downloading.... wil be kicked off soon
[12:04] <savvas> diogo: type your password when asked
[12:04] <waveler> any updates for the soundcard?
[12:04] <diogo> ok

[12:04] <pawan> hi
[12:04] <else> can anyone help me setting up my localization? it's broken and i don't know how to fix it
[12:05] <Hoggster> savvas: I have been to speedtest and that is where I got the 2mb download speed from
[12:05] <Lustblader> waveler:  what's the exact specs of the card??
[12:05] <Sache> about:config
[12:05] <diogo> savvas: ok

[12:05] <kayzu> i tried to install the updates, but when installing ttf-opensymbol, I got this error message: "E: ttf-opensymbol: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 66"
[12:05] <kayzu> how do i fix that?
[12:05] <bene> howlingmadhowie: look at single chat
[12:05] <Nick_Hill> When buying hardware motherboards/CPU, I have normally gone for best bang per buck, usually from smaller players. VIA, Nvidia, AMD. A recent mobo I bought with an Nvidia chipset on has really demonstrated to me how Nvidia harm free software. Any ideas or consensus on making a buying guide, with information on how helpful vendors are in releasing hardware-software interface specifications?
[12:05] <waveler> sound blaster live 24-bit external
[12:05] <Hoggster> yes Sache
[12:05] <pawan> cant see fonts properly in xmms player
[12:05] <Lustblader> any more specs?
[12:06] <Nick_Hill> It seems Intel tend to release hardware interface specs. VIA don;t, Nvidia don't.
[12:06] <savvas> diogo: that will show you a list. now knowing how many megabytes or gigabytes is your external, can you tell me its /dev/name ?
[12:06] <Sache> type in about:config in ff
[12:06] <pramz> Nick_Hill, I can understand that nvidia not releasing their _graphic_ driver under the GPL is saddening, but I don't see how nvidia harm free software
[12:06] <diogo> savvas: i found it......its on fat32 system!!
[12:06] <howlingmadhowie> bene: i've never used single chat, what do i do?
[12:06] <waveler> i dont know where to look for the specs but that's the name of the card
[12:06] <Nick_Hill> pramz, Not even release information how to initialise the graphics chip :-(
[12:06] <pramz> Nick_Hill, especially considering that they are the _only_ company to provide and support good working 3d drivers.
[12:06] <diogo> /dev/sda
[12:06] <bene> howlingmadhowie: I try the wiki howto
[12:07] <Nick_Hill> pramz, They don;t provide or support free software drivers.
[12:07] <skyion> hi guys
[12:07] <howlingmadhowie> bene: look in /usr/share/typo3. you'll find the source there
[12:07] <Lustblader> look at the box it came in
[12:07] <skyion> how do I change the default preferences for adding users in gnome
[12:07] <pawan> hello
[12:07] <waveler> i dont have the box anymore but i can look for the site
[12:07] <pramz> Nick_Hill, i understand that making GPLd drives benefit the community but i don't see how the lack of GPLd drivers harms the community
[12:08] <kayzu> i tried to install the updates, but when installing ttf-opensymbol, I got this error: "E: ttf-opensymbol: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 66"
[12:08] <kayzu> what should I do?
[12:08] <diogo> savvas: /dev/sda

[12:09] <Lustblader> http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=vendor-Creative_Labs#matrix
[12:09] <Lustblader> just pick the right version
[12:09] <Sache> then search for IPV6 in about:config....then toggle the option
[12:09] <waveler> oh ok i'll try
[12:09] <Sache> hoggstr
[12:09] <waveler> i'll update you of the outcome
[12:09] <savvas> ok diogo try this in terminal: sudo mkdir /media/exthd/ && sudo mount /dev/sda /media/exthd/ -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000
[12:10] <Nick_Hill> pramz, For example, we can't fix a bug in the recovery from suspend.
[12:10] <savvas> diogo: wait
[12:10] <diogo> savvas: ok
[12:10] <savvas> diogo: this one, sorry: sudo mkdir /media/exthd/ && sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/exthd/ -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000
[12:10] <shuveb> hi, can someone please tell me which package contains "arpsend"?
[12:10] <Nick_Hill> pramz, We come dependent on Nvidia to fix all bugs, and control which architectures to run on and API changes we can make.
[12:11] <victoria> eoooooooooooooooo
[12:11] <savvas> oeee
[12:11] <Nick_Hill> pramz, In other words, Nvidia disempowers the very structures which make free software viable.
[12:11] <pramz> Nick_Hill, agreed that we become dependent but that is the part where a non free driver becomes not beneficial
[12:11] <pramz> but not harm
[12:11] <victoria> helloooooooooo
[12:11] <kayzu> help please.. when installing the ttf-opensymbol update, I got this error: "E: ttf-opensymbol: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 66"

[12:12] <savvas> diogo: any errors?
[12:12] <waveler> what does cvs means?

[12:13] <Nick_Hill> pramz, I was thinking that If Intel and perhaps AMD are good at releasing hardware specs, they should be credited. If Nvidia/VIA don't they should receive the discredit due.
[12:13] <pramz> Nick_Hill, but the fact that nvidia has provider working drivers when no other manufacturer (except for intel, that too recently) has done so
[12:13] <kayzu> xoRock: it was an automatic update via the update manager..
[12:13] <savvas> diogo: still there? :)
[12:14] <victoria> any person speak spanish here?
[12:14] <pramz> Nick_Hill, AMD/ATI has promised hardware specs and a good driver but I will believe it when i see it

[12:14] <Slahser> lol
[12:14] <diogo> yes
[12:14] <pramz> Nick_Hill, but till that day happens, i'll stick with my nvidia since it works great and I get to use my linux desktop
[12:14] <savvas> diogo: did you get an error when you typed that command?
[12:14] <Lustblader> wawav
[12:14] <Lustblader> waveler: i gotta restart
[12:14] <pawan> cant see options name in xmms player
[12:15] <waveler> ok i'll wait for you
[12:15] <Lustblader> but in the meantime download all the files required
[12:15] <Nick_Hill> pramz, If Intel are releasing specs now, then I would be happy to move from AMD/VIA/Nvidia to Intel. My recent buying decision would have been based on such factors.
[12:15] <waveler> i'll try i'm totally a noobcake with this OS
[12:15] <Slahser> lol
[12:15] <pramz> Nick_Hill, sadly intel cannot play the games that I want at full res so it is nvidia for me.
[12:15] <Slahser> we all start somewhere waveler
[12:16] <Lustblader> or try this

[12:16] <Lustblader> ta ta
[12:16] <xoRock> kayzu, can u paste the exact error, in private?
[12:16] <diogo> savvas: mkdir: cannot create directory /media/exthd : file exists
[12:16] <Sache0> Hoggster... ..did u get it to work?
[12:17] <waveler> kk
[12:17] <waveler> i'll try
[12:17] <savvas> diogo try only this: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/exthd/ -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000
[12:17] <kayzu> xoRock: well the error was "E: ttf-opensymbol: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 66"
[12:18] <waveler> why is it i cannot make a directory? it says permission denied
[12:18] <Nick_Hill> pramz, although you and many might not, equally many, myself included, would base buying decisions on whether manufacturers are open with hardware-software interface specs. So if we can expose the situation, there may be a little more leverage.
[12:18] <diogo> ok
[12:18] <kayzu> xoRock: and lots of failed to write to cache messages in the terminal panel of the update manager
[12:18] <pramz> Nick_Hill, i don't disagree with your reasons, my point was nvidia not providing hardware specs is 'not beneficial' but it does not harm anyone
[12:19] <remix5x> Hi, I have a dual 8800 ultra setup and I can't seem to get SLI running
[12:19] <xoRock> kayzu, see your private message
[12:19] <savvas> diogo: after you used that command, check your desktop, do you see an icon with your external hard drive?
[12:19] <q4agbx> Is it possible to make ubuntu (or any other linux OS) remove all of its configuration files from a home partition before completely removing the OS?
[12:19] <pawan> hi
[12:20] <pramz> Nick_Hill, i have always supported hardware manufacturers who provide specs and open drivers. I have purchased Matrox cards from 2000-2002, ATI 85xx amontg others. I am contemplating buying a GPS receiver for my laptop which has free drivers (heard about it from my neighbour)

[12:21] <Nick_Hill> pramz, My conjecture is that it harms the community. Whether it directly harms a specific person is outside of my conjecture.

[12:21] <savvas> diogo: you should copy & paste the command in the terminal. to paste the command in the terminal, right click and select paste. now try again: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/exthd/ -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000
[12:22] <Nick_Hill> pramz, But then again, I am harmed by the lack of hardware specifications. I need to buy a non-Nvidia add-in graphics card to use suspend to ram. That is harm.
[12:22] <savvas> diogo: it's 1, not l. number 1

[12:34] <pramz> Nick_Hill, with binary drivers that is (using Feisty)
[12:34] <Nick_Hill> pramz, Thanks.
[12:34] <Slahser> bittornado or ktorrent
[12:34] <MK> im using ubuntu
[12:34] <Slahser> imo
[12:35] <Slahser> they both work on ubuntu
[12:35] <MK> bittornado doesnt install in the applications menu
[12:35] <Slahser> it does
[12:35] <MK> no :P
[12:35] <Slahser> applications>internet
[12:35] <MK> it doesnt
[12:35] <Slahser> :o
[12:35] <Slahser> did you apt-get install it?@
[12:35] <MK> ya
[12:35] <MK> sudo apt-get install bittornado
[12:35] <pramz> Nick_Hill, might be specific to the 6100/6200 cards
[12:35] <iNcrease> is there a possible way to control or my network driver is installed? cause i have some problems with my lan and shares...
[12:35] <Slahser> hmm weird
[12:35] <Thor> is there another way to change window focus other than alt + tab?
[12:35] <MK> what about azureus ?
[12:36] <Slahser> Thor: yes if you have compiz fusion/beryl/something else
[12:36] <pramz> Nick_Hill, another friend who has it on a desktop also experiences issues with those, he switched to a 7600Gs and has been fine ever since
[12:36] <Myrtti> bittornado needs gui too
[12:36] <Slahser> MK I think that works on ubuntu also but it's in java and uses alot of RAM
[12:36] <compengi> MK, bittorrent is installed by default
[12:36] <Myrtti> aptitude search bittornado

[12:36] <MK> how can i use it ?
[12:36] <Olgem> btdownloadgui
[12:36] <compengi> MK, bittorrent is gui
[12:36] <Myrtti> MK: install bittornado-gui package
[12:37] <iNcrease> is there a possible way to control or my network driver is installed? cause i have some problems with my lan and shares...over samba
[12:37] <Slahser> yeah, with compiz fusion/beryl you can do super+tab
[12:37] <Slahser> and other things
[12:37] <MK> it isnt in the menu
[12:37] <Nick_Hill> pramz, Is it fair to assume that if hardware interface specs were released by Nvidia, we could enjoy the 6100 and 6200?
[12:37] <compengi> MK, right click on applications >edit menus>internet>check bittorrent on the list
[12:37] <Myrtti> MK: install the gui-package too
[12:37] <Thor> hmm, i thought there was like a shift + F3 method or something like that
[12:37] <Slahser> ah right, no idea there
[12:38] <MK> compengi, that bittorrent software is it bittornado or another one ?
[12:38] <Thor> cuz the splash screen of this game is interfering
[12:38] <Ferra1> knows anyone how to put a wacom bluetooth on my ubuntu ?
[12:38] <Nick_Hill> pramz, And according to bug 121801, the 8400M

[12:38] <MK> nice
[12:38] <pramz> not the nv or nvidia binary driver
[12:38] <MK> so bittornado is not needed right ?
[12:38] <compengi> MK, it's bittorrent software

[12:39] <Juncus> Hi all. I'm an Ubuntu NewBie, but don't hold that against me. I've been in IT for over 20yrs. I'm trying to update a Version 5. and get a message telling me that it can't find the updates servers. How can I correct that? Also how do I get a live CD version to boot from HD? Your help is appriciated.
[12:39] <pramz> Nick_Hill, and as for your question, not really. I had an ATI 8500 card which was intentionally cripped (demo piece). Neither OSS drivers or official drivers really made it work properly
[12:40] <bene> howlingmadhowie: ln -s /usr/share/typo3 was the only think I must do ^^
[12:40] <ledemente> When I right click, the menu doesn't stay, so it's very difficult for me to use many functions... is there a way to fix this perhaps?
[12:40] <bene> but thx for help
[12:40] <Slahser> if you want a live cd to boot from hdd i think you have to make a small partition, extract the iso image and copy all the files to the small partition, then set that partition to your boot up partition
[12:40] <Slahser> i could be wrong though, i haven't tested that
[12:40] <Slahser> i just read it somewhere
[12:40] <MK> its the only one that wasnt checked :P
[12:40] <Juncus> Thanks Slasher
[12:40] <Nick_Hill> pramz, U,timately, if we are trying to make a free software system which runs on all general purpose computing systems (which is what Debian and to an extent Ubuntu is about), not having specifications for the hardware makes it very difficult, adds unnecesary burdens on free software developers, and makes the system non-free.
[12:40] <MK> thanks compengi
[12:41] <compengi> MK, no problem. you are always welcome :)
[12:41] <MK> compengi, this software looks really simple, is it good ?
[12:41] <unixware> hi all
[12:42] <Slahser> MK: if it gets the job done and it's simple, then that's a good thing, isn't it?
[12:42] <unixware> i want to make a ubuntu cluster if posible
[12:42] <compengi> MK, well if you got no router, i mean no closed ports then it is, but if you do it's not
[12:42] <howlingmadhowie> bene:  cool :) where did you link it to? /var/www ?
[12:42] <compengi> MK, you can't change any port in that program
[12:43] <MK> ok
[12:43] <waveler> still wasn't able to fix my souncard problem
[12:43] <waveler> bye i need to log out
[12:43] <compengi> MK, i use rtorrent, it's through terminal, but very very good one it satisfies me
[12:43] <waveler> tnx
[12:44] <remix5x> Wow, there's nothing about enabling nvidia SLI on google or the ubuntuforums...
[12:44] <pramz> *sigh* Since you are obviously assuming that I think non-free drivers is just awesome, I will end this debate with a repeat of my stance. I think non-free drivers are inconvenient and not necessarily beneficial, but they are not harmful. Would a free driver / freely released specs influence my hardware purchase decision? Yes. Would I purchase a piece of hardware solely based on the freeness of the driver? no.
[12:44] <coldfish_> which program do you suggest for network monitoring ?
[12:44] <Nick_Hill> pramz, OK, I think we mainly agree but disagree on how far you and I would take the decision.
[12:44] <compengi> coldfish_, you mean bandwidth records?
[12:45] <coldfish_> yep records.
[12:45] <coldfish_> bandwidth usage
[12:45] <jamesdell> coldfish_: the most commonly use is rmtg
[12:45] <coldfish_> thx jamesdell.
[12:45] <compengi> coldfish_, right click on your top panel>add to panel> then add network monitor, it's gui
[12:46] <jamesdell> you're welcome..
[12:46] <pramz> Nick_Hill, which is fine :)
[12:46] <lonelywolf> join /ubuntu-cn
[12:46] <coldfish_> jamesdell, rmtg or RTG? which one is correct?
[12:47] <coldfish_> i cant find rmtg.

[12:48] <lonelywolf> how can i do?
[12:48] <jamesdell> lonelywolf: use pastebin :)

[12:48] <ubotu> lonelywolf: 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)
[12:48] <IRC> somebody help me, how to get the forgotten root password on ubuntu?
[12:48] <Nick_Hill> Wow! Xchat supports pretty chinese writing!
[12:49] <alesan> I have a urgent problem :( we want to install Ubuntu on MANY PCs but we face this issue: we have many X sessions on each PC, let's say 1 with the local display and 6 with remote displays. When I insert a USB key or whatever the new device gets mounted and assigned to a random user/display. how can I disable this?
[12:49] <Slahser> so does kvirc
[12:49] <Slahser> lol
[12:49] <compengi> !password > IRC
[12:49] <IRC> somebody help me, how to get the forgotten root password on ubuntu?
[12:49] <alesan> I always want to assign the hotplug event or whatever it is to the LOCAL display/user.
[12:49] <pramz> IRC, you have couple of ways.
[12:49] <bene> howlingmadhowie: yes
[12:50] <compengi> IRC, read what ubotu messaged you
[12:50] <IRC> somebody help me, how to get the forgotten root password on ubuntu OS?
[12:50] <pramz> !password > pramz
[12:50] <Nick_Hill> IRC, you can re-set it. Not recover.
[12:50] <aeromix> hi all.. could you please help me? I am unable to login into any graphical enviromnent like gnome or fluxbox or xfce.. I type user & pass correctly, it blanks and return to the login authentication again!
[12:50] <|fluxdude|> anyone here know anything about storage clustering? I want a distributed clustered redundant filesystem across several servers. I would ideally need it to be as redundant, expandable (by adding servers) and fast as possible. I'm not sure if I should be looking at AFS, ZFS, or Lustre or something. I guess really I want the Google File System!
[12:50] <alesan> !password
[12:50] <ubotu> Forgot your password? Boot into recovery mode. What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords
[12:50] <IRC> anyway?
[12:51] <IRC> without reinstalling OS?
[12:51] <compengi> IRC, don't you understand? :S
[12:51] <yellow_chicken> anyone using pavilion dv6000 with linux on it?  ubunt live cd won't boot on that laptop
[12:51] <aeromix> alesan: it's not a pass problem
[12:51] <alesan> aeromix, what do you mean?
[12:51] <tomek_> Hello, has anybody made wireless network on ubuntu feisty fawn on acer aspire 1640 (intel ipw2200 driver)... I am sitting 2 days now and desparately need help since I need ubuntu for my work...
[12:51] <alesan> aeromix, the USB thing?
[12:52] <Nick_Hill> IRC, Try an ubuntu channel in your native tongue. es, fr etc.
[12:52] <IRC> actually, i had forgot the root password of current ubuntu? i need to know the root/administrator password, how, anyone?
[12:52] <aeromix> alesan: no, the login failure problem
[12:52] <tomek_> I tried ndiswrapper etc
[12:52] <pramz> |fluxdude|, did you look at GFS ?
[12:52] <alesan> aeromix, login failure?
[12:52] <Nick_Hill> IRC, You CAN'T recover the password. Only Re-SET
[12:52] <pramz> |fluxdude|, http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/gfs/
[12:52] <|fluxdude|> pramz: by Redhat? is it any good?
[12:52] <IRC> how to RE-SET ?
[12:52] <tomek_> on windows its running right-away, but for my work I need ubuntu..
[12:52] <pramz> |fluxdude|, from what I have heard, yes
[12:53] <CheshireViking> IRC, the root password isn't set by default in ubuntu, i'm not sure if there is a way of resetting it when you don't know it
[12:53] <compengi> IRC, many have told you how read up!
[12:53] <aeromix> alesan: I am unable to login into any graphical enviromnent like gnome or fluxbox or xfce.. I type user & pass correctly, it blanks and return to the login authentication again!
[12:53] <howlingmadhowie> bene: doesn't work with me :( i keep getting "Cannot find configuration. This file is probably executed from the wrong location."
[12:53] <IRC>  ok
[12:53] <unixware> IRC the passwd of root is the same as the user
[12:53] <Nick_Hill> unixware, No
[12:53] <alesan> unixware, !?!? what are you saying
[12:53] <MK> how do i mount .iso images in ubuntu ?
[12:54] <MK> like i did with daemon tools in windows ?
[12:54] <Nick_Hill> unixware, By default, the root account on Ubuntu is un-set.
[12:54] <pramz> MK, mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /path/to/iso /mnt/
[12:54] <lietu> sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop file.iso /media/iso
[12:54] <lietu> I think
[12:54] <alesan> mount -o loop filwe.iso /directory
[12:54] <lietu> dunno how much you need that sudo
[12:54] <MK> what directory? anyone?
[12:55] <pramz> MK, make your own :) like lietu said mkdir /mnt/iso
[12:55] <alesan> MK, the dir you prefer
[12:55] <pramz> or media/iso
[12:55] <Der-3> MK, use gmount-iso
[12:55] <MK> whats the difference between /mnt and /media ?
[12:56] <JonathanD> MK: media is longer and has different letters
[12:56] <lietu> you can always set the root password when you boot with init=/bin/bash on the kernel boot line in grub
[12:56] <Nick_Hill> unixware, There is no root account password by default on Ubuntu. It is therefore not possible to log into the root account apart from using a program which escalates your privileges. Eg sudo, gtksudo.
[12:57] <amidaniel> Well, possible .. but very discouraged :)
[12:57] <MK> and if the image is .bin ?
[12:57] <lietu> but it aint THAT simple, you have to do like, 5 commands ;) ... mount -o remount,rw /; passwd; sync; sync; reboot
[12:57] <MK> is it the same command ?
[12:57] <pramz> MK, there are utilities to convert from bin/cue to iso
[12:57] <lietu> MK: then you have to convert it to .iso
[12:57] <Nick_Hill> unixware, Sudo allows users who are a member of the administrator group to escalate to root once they have identified themselves with their password.
[12:57] <lietu> MK: there IS a thing called cdemu, but I dunno how easy it's to get working
[12:57] <tomek_> if someone knew the answer of my wlan acer aspire question. pleas send me answer on tomek300@o2.pl..
[12:58] <unixware> Nick_Hill i think irc was having problems doing do sudo su
[12:58] <tarelerulz> I as   trying to watch a normal dvd and I have totem and it say it can't read it.  What read decriped dvds
[12:58] <Nick_Hill> unixware, OK. he needs sudo su.
[12:58] <MK> pramz, what utility is the easiest ? :P
[12:58] <pramz> MK, sudo apt-get install bchunk
[12:58] <unixware> Nick_Hill :)
[12:58] <pramz> that will convert from bin/cue to iso
[12:59] <MK> i hope it has GUI :P
[12:59] <pramz> MK cli only
[12:59] <pramz> MK, but it is easy to use
[12:59] <MK> yeah
[12:59] <MK> 13 KB
[12:59] <MK> lol
[12:59] <pramz> MK, just type bchunk without params to bring the help file
[01:03] <remix5x> If anyone knows how to get SLI enabled or at least knows about a howto on how to do it, please help me
[01:03] <pramz> anyways, time for me to sleep
[01:03] <pramz> night
[01:03] <Slahser> night
[01:05] <else> can anyone help me setting up my localization? it's broken and i don't know how to fix it
[01:06] <lietu> remix5x: how comfortable are you with editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually?
[01:06] <howlingmadhowie> i don't believe it. the default password for the admin area of typo3 is "joh316". that is so insulting for so many people :(
[01:06] <lietu> btw, I never realized irssi could tab-complete filenames, now I know that too ;)
[01:06] <m_> when i'am going to change my login screen an error message occupears: you are not running GDE. how do i run GDE anyone?
[01:07] <m_> when i'am going to change my login screen an error message occupears: you are not running GDE. how do i run GDE anyone?
[01:07] <CheshireViking> !repeat |m_

[01:07] <moldy> hi
[01:07] <egomaniac> sup guys
[01:07] <egomaniac> im new to this Ubuntu thing
[01:08] <egomaniac> can someone help me out
[01:08] <moldy> are the ssh packages that ship with dapper kerberos-enabled by default?
[01:08] <iNcrease> any1 can help?, i try to fix samba, iam on lan but my windows pc doest find my linux and from the linux pc i cant access the windows shares ... if i ping to the ip i have no reaction, if i ping to getaway i have ...
[01:08] <howlingmadhowie> egomaniac: don't ask if you can ask, just ask :)
[01:09] <egomaniac> Thanks howling. I was wondering if there was someway I could surpass 1024x768
[01:09] <lietu> iNcrease: are the computers on the same subnet? as in, do the both ip addresses start with the exact same 3 numbers(by a number I mean anything before or after a dot, ".")
[01:09] <egomaniac> id really like to use linux in 1280x1024
[01:09] <egomaniac> Ubuntu*
[01:09] <iNcrease> lietu, jup same ip only last the last digit is another ...
[01:10] <PriceChild> !fixres | egomaniac
[01:10] <ubotu> egomaniac: 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
[01:10] <egomaniac> do i type that into the terminal window?
[01:10] <lietu> egomaniac: take a wild guess
[01:11] <lietu> egomaniac: and do read the web page first
[01:11] <egomaniac> heh thanks. ill try it
[01:11] <PriceChild> egomaniac, read it and decide.
[01:11] <PriceChild> egomaniac, don't restart your x server...
[01:11] <bommelom> I have two computers in a lan. Both run ubuntu. I want to be able to log into my account on both - like its the same computer. Is that possible?
[01:11] <egomaniac> x server?
[01:12] <lietu> iNcrease: I cant think of anything else but the windows comp having a firewall on that's blocking it
[01:12] <egomaniac> sorry, im new to this
[01:12] <PriceChild> egomaniac, The factoid ubotu has given you, explains exactly what to do... make sure you read the bit labelled "to fix screen resolution..." and not the "to restart your X..."
[01:12] <egomaniac> what does this mean?
[01:12] <lietu> egomaniac: READ the web page
[01:12] <egomaniac> ok
[01:12] <iNcrease> lietu, nope he only has spyware scanner but this one stands off ..
[01:12] <alesan> any idea on where to configure gnome-volume-manager?
[01:13] <lietu> remix5x: well?
[01:13] <iNcrease> lietu, i maybe thought that my router was blocking so i connect from pc to pc and still didnt work so .. i think some services or sonthing ...
[01:13] <lietu> iNcrease: have you installed samba & smbfs?
[01:13] <iNcrease> lietu, samba i did ..
[01:14] <lietu> smbfs is generally needed to actually use the other computer's shares
[01:14] <lietu> but for the server, try sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[01:14] <iNcrease> lietu, k installed that ill try to find out more now :D
[01:15] <ployer> hi all, have some problem with my wireless card "Atheros AR5007UG" cant find it
[01:15] <lietu> but if ping doesnt get through, I doubt it will do much difference
[01:15] <iNcrease> lietu, ill try some more stuff :)
[01:15] <egomaniac> Hi, one quick general linux question. if a faq or guide is asking me to run commands
[01:15] <lietu> have you installed any firewalling software on your ubuntu desktop then? ;)
[01:15] <egomaniac> ALL of that is done in the terminal right?
[01:15] <iNcrease> lietu, i have one but hes not active ..
[01:15] <lietu> egomaniac: generally yes
[01:16] <egomaniac> because im tying some of he commands on the HowTo page and it keeps asking me for a password whenever i paste it
[01:16] <egomaniac> but it wont let me type the password in
[01:16] <lietu> egomaniac: yes, that's usually when you use sudo
[01:16] <lietu> and it DOES let you type it
[01:16] <lietu> it just doesnt show you typing it
[01:16] <bommelom> egomaniac: "sudo su" first
[01:16] <egomaniac> ooh ok
[01:16] <lietu> security and so on
[01:16] <|fluxdude|> I have a fileserver on linux, all users share a network drive, but need to be able to delete files ending in .fxp. I don't want to give them any rights though, is there a way to write a script which can do only this and give them a mechanism from windows to activate this script with a file name which I can them check is a .fxp to allow deletion?
[01:16] <Olgem> Would anyone have a guess why I am having trouble writing to my flash drive? I get I/O errors and it unmounts randomly, but under windows I could format and write just fine, :/
[01:17] <egomaniac> one more thing, if there are multiple lines of command
[01:17] <egomaniac> do i do it line by line
[01:17] <egomaniac> or copy/paste the entire code
[01:17] <lietu> iNcrease: well the only thing that comes to my mind is problems with the network, the ip addresses, or firewalls, because ping SHOULD get through ;)
[01:17] <lietu> egomaniac: what ever floats your boat
[01:17] <lietu> *which
[01:17] <bommelom> |fluxdude|: mabe just set owner and permissions differently on files with the desired extension.
[01:17] <B-rabbit> hi, i just downloaded a new linux OS called BACK TRACK 2 FINAL, and i burned its image into a blanck disk. now i am having a trouble booting it from the disk ,can any one help.
[01:18] <iNcrease> lietu, ok i made progress, i see on my windows pc my linux i only have to type login and passw
[01:18] <iNcrease> lietu, ill try pinging again
[01:18] <iNcrease> lietu, still dead ping
[01:18] <lietu> iNcrease: oh, for the login&pass thing you need to do smbpasswd -a user on the linux computer
[01:18] <the_cyber_guy> hi everybody :-)
[01:18] <B-rabbit> hi
[01:19] <lietu> iNcrease: dunno about ubuntu, but generally most distroes don't set up a default user for samba access
[01:19] <the_cyber_guy> i have little problem
[01:19] <iNcrease> lietu, :)
[01:19] <the_cyber_guy> i want to dual boot vista and ubuntu
[01:19] <B-rabbit> the_cyber_guy:and whats that?
[01:19] <iNcrease> lietu, done that lets try it out :d
[01:19] <the_cyber_guy> i have vista preinstalled
[01:19] <lietu> iNcrease: and that is with sudo, with that you set up the password to connect with

[01:20] <kayzu> this is the output of sudo apt-get update: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31532/plain/  -  is the opensymbol update installed correctly ?
[01:21] <bommelom> how do I make it possible to log into the same accounts on all computers on my lan?
[01:21] <lietu> bommelom: simple, use kerberos, or several other services like that, most of them are a pain in the ass to set up tho
[01:21] <iNcrease> lietu, k my windows now find my linux shares :) thats great progress :D now ill see or i can find shares of windows on linux :D
[01:22] <lietu> iNcrease: usually just mount //192.168.1.2/Share /mnt/Share should do
[01:22] <IdleOne> kayzu, not sure I understand your question. but seems there aren't any updates to install from what you pasted
[01:23] <egomaniac> i ran those commands and just went through a bunch of config options for my monitor and keyboard
[01:23] <egomaniac> how do i check to see what has changed?
[01:23] <Daniel_-> I just had a power failure, and when my ubuntu dapper came online again I noticed the clock was very wrong. Ran ntpdate manually to correct it and it worked fine. How do I make the box automatically set the clock at boot time?
[01:23] <kayzu> IdleOne: well when i did the updates, i got errors on the opensymbol and openoffice updates and i don't know if they installed correctly now
[01:23] <egomaniac> well when i came to the screen that asked about the different resolutions
[01:23] <egomaniac> i didnt knmow how to check the option i wanted
[01:24] <egomaniac> it said something about just leaving them blank
[01:24] <lietu> if that remix5* comes back asking for how to enable SLI with nvidia, tell him to try adding Option "SLI" "Auto", or "yes" on his /etc/X11/Xorg.conf

[01:26] <lietu> iNcrease: no idea on how that works, dont think I've had a printer since the dos-ages, well I do have the same matrix printer in my closet still, but haven't had any use for it ;)

[01:28] <lione__> I have ubuntu server with russian locale and connect to it by putty so how can I get russian letters on putty?
[01:28] <lietu> iNcrease: generally you'd be better off using ip addresses instead of names anyways, the name resolution thing is... well, buggy
[01:29] <KaslePro> truble with starting GDE.. anyone? i'm a newbie
[01:29] <tomek_> does anyway made WLAN running with intel driver (ipw2200) on acer aspire ?
[01:29] <IdleOne> lione__, I believe the computer you connect from must have the russian locale also
[01:29] <iNcrease> lietu, well i found this menu add a printer but he asked host .. ill try enter the ip
[01:29] <blazemonger> hello
[01:29] <blazemonger> it's crazy how big ubuntu has become
[01:30] <lione__> yes it has
[01:30] <blazemonger> in just a few years
[01:30] <sveweck> KaslePro: what is GDE?
[01:30] <blazemonger> lione:and mark shuttleworth was a cosmonaut?
[01:30] <KaslePro> GNOME Desktop or somthing
[01:30] <blazemonger> so that means he was for "power to the people" ?
[01:30] <lietu> iNcrease: yeah, host generally means the "computer that has what you're trying to use" or so
[01:30] <the_cyber_guy> i think it is gnome dektop environment
[01:30] <sveweck> KaslePro: it's called just GNOME
[01:30] <KaslePro> GDM
[01:30] <KaslePro> srry
[01:31] <sveweck> GDM is used for login only.
[01:31] <KaslePro> i thought it was gde
[01:31] <the_cyber_guy> i think it is gnome dektop manager
[01:31] <sveweck> yes
[01:31] <KaslePro> do anyone know how to start GDM?
[01:31] <sveweck> blazemonger: wtf are you rambling about?
[01:31] <sveweck> KaslePro: startx
[01:31] <egomaniac> Does anyone know how to get 1280x1024? i tried the steps in the FAQ but no luck
[01:32] <KaslePro> startx?
[01:32] <Pici> KaslePro: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[01:32] <blazemonger> i use 80x25
[01:32] <blazemonger> :) console
[01:32] <sveweck> ;)
[01:32] <blazemonger> im a console freak :)
[01:32] <Slahser> i use the console alot more than what i used to
[01:33] <Slahser> but i'm more careful now after what i did to break my ubuntu install totally
[01:33] <Slahser> i thought i was in a folder on the desktop, turns out i was in /
[01:33] <KaslePro> Pici: it says Not starting GNOME Display Manager (gdm); it is not the default display manager.
[01:33] <Slahser> i did sudo mv * /var/www/
[01:33] <Pici> KaslePro: Are you normally a KDE user?
[01:34] <Olgem> howlingmadhowie, I had it formatted as several different ones and with the same result, ext2, FAT, FAT32
[01:34] <KaslePro> yes
[01:34] <egomaniac> Does anyone know how to get 1280x1024? i tried the steps in the FAQ but no luck
[01:34] <Pici> KaslePro: But you want GDM this time, not KDM?
[01:34] <KaslePro> Pici:  but i'm trying to change to ubuntu
[01:34] <KaslePro> and GDM
[01:34] <KaslePro> Pici: do u know what to do?
[01:35] <Pici> KaslePro: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[01:35] <nietoperek> s tu jacy polacy?
[01:35] <KaslePro> Pici:  thx!
[01:35] <lietu> hmm, how does this thing work...
[01:35] <lietu> !pl | nietoperek
[01:35] <ubotu> nietoperek: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[01:37] <egomaniac> Does anyone know how to get 1280x1024? i tried the steps in the FAQ but no luck
[01:38] <lietu> egomaniac: did the faq stuff do anything?
[01:38] <egomaniac> i was taken through alot of config options
[01:38] <egomaniac> which looked like it'd do the job
[01:38] <egomaniac> but i still cant go any higher in resolution
[01:38] <lietu> I meant, did it change your resolution options?
[01:38] <egomaniac> no
[01:38] <lietu> did you restart X?
[01:39] <egomaniac> how do i do that?
[01:39] <lietu> easy way, press ctrl+alt+backspace ... this WILL kill all your running applications too, so save and quit everything before you do that
[01:39] <digiqq> egomaniac: press ctrl+alt+backspace
[01:39] <egomaniac> ok. that means ill be disconnecting from here, so ill come back and let you know what happened, if anything.
[01:40] <lietu> btw, someone please tell me ubuntu aint got the same "feature" as fedora did, altgr+backspace also killed X
[01:40] <digiqq> egomaniac: good luck
[01:40] <iNcrease> lietu, hy me again :D i got question maybe u know how or what command i have to type..  when i go to services for my print spool turning on he says this: the configuration could not be loaded your not allowed to access the system configuration
[01:40] <digiqq> lietu: what is altgr?
[01:40] <lietu> digiqq: it's a key on your keyboard, search for it
[01:41] <lietu> well ok, I dunno if EVERY keyboard layout has one, but I think they do
[01:41] <digiqq> lietu: i only know alt, never seen gr?
[01:41] <lietu> alt gr = the right hand side alt
[01:41] <lietu> iNcrease: ermmh
[01:41] <lietu> iNcrease: if you're not allowed to do something, try with sudo
[01:41] <digiqq> lietu: Im using standard US keyboard
[01:41] <iNcrease> anyone know the command to access services from out the console
[01:41] <digiqq> egomaniac: wellcome back, how did it go?
[01:41] <iNcrease> lietu, yes i know but this was in the gui i found this pic i clicked on ..
[01:42] <egomaniac> YES!
[01:42] <egomaniac> it worked
[01:42] <lietu> digiqq: a) your keyboard manufacturer might've neglected to print the "gr" on the key b) US stuff is never any good anyways ;)
[01:42] <egomaniac> I thank you guys so much.
[01:42] <lietu> iNcrease: ermh, no idea, sorry
[01:42] <digiqq> egomaniac: congratulations :)
[01:42] <egomaniac> So if i want some changes to be reflected at any time, i just use CTRL + ALT + BackSpace?
[01:42] <iNcrease> lietu, k np ill take a look on the internet:D
[01:42] <digiqq> lietu: well, my keyboard comes with my IBM workstation, so....
[01:43] <digiqq> egomaniac: that's right
[01:43] <mackyman> Opsie... Thunder... .*flees
[01:43] <lietu> egomaniac: depends, if they're related to the X server, then yes
[01:43] <egomaniac> Cool, thanks so much guys!
[01:44] <howlingmadhowie> Olgem: sorry, i'm a bit busy. but i'm with you now :) can you remove the usb-stick and then type the following in a console: "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages"
[01:44] <egomaniac> Now i just have to reconfigure my monitor's stand alone settings to reflect this
[01:44] <egomaniac> but it did indeed work!
[01:44] <egomaniac> I love you guys :)
[01:44] <Olgem> sure
[01:44] <Olgem> howlingmadhowie, want me to pastebin it?
[01:45] <Olgem> it "worked" for this session because I didn't try and write, let me plug it in a format it
[01:45] <Daniel_-> How do I do to have Dapper (server) set the clock with ntp at boot?
[01:46] <the_cyber_guy> is it necessary to shring the windows primary volume to install ubuntu
[01:46] <Alex_001> i'm having problems running ubuntu iside virtual pc 2004
[01:46] <the_cyber_guy> is it necessary to shrink the windows primary volume to install ubuntu
[01:47] <lietu> the_cyber_guy: no, if you have enough unpartitioned free space left on the hdd, a "secondary volume" or whatever, an extra hdd, or similar, then you can use those
[01:47] <lietu> the_cyber_guy: and repeating your question will not help you get an answer
[01:47] <the_cyber_guy> i m not repeating it
[01:48] <the_cyber_guy> i m just telling that i have a free partition
[01:48] <the_cyber_guy> of 11GB if i delete it is it possible to install ubuntu
[01:49] <lietu> yes
[01:49] <Olgem> howlingmadhowie, I reproduced the effects of an unwanted unmount
[01:49] <faemir> I don't suppose someone might have any idea why my dvd drive is not mountable?
[01:49] <lietu> and yes, you were repeating, I see the exact same question twice within 30secs
[01:49] <lietu> faemir: does it give you any errors?
[01:50] <lietu> the_cyber_guy: anyways, yes, ubuntu CAN be installed on that space aswell
[01:50] <the_cyber_guy> have u tried it lietu
[01:50] <faemir> lietu, mount: special device /dev/hdb does not exist
[01:50] <lietu> the_cyber_guy: have I tried what?
[01:50] <lietu> faemir: erm, try sd*
[01:50] <the_cyber_guy> install ubuntu on that seperate space
[01:50] <faemir> lietu,  ?
[01:51] <lietu> the_cyber_guy: I have 3 harddisks on my current ubuntu desktop and ubuntu is installed on the last hard disk, it can be EASILY customized where you install it
[01:51] <Pici> faemir: /dev/sdb he means
[01:51] <O_connor> Hi !
[01:51] <faemir> Pici, it doesn't exist...
[01:52] <lietu> faemir: you sure your dvd drive should be in hdb/sdb and not c/d?
[01:52] <Pici> faemir: `cat /proc/partitions` And try using one of those.
[01:52] <faemir> lietu, i dunno, it was working fine, then the it died, so i replaced it with another. and now neither work :|
[01:53] <faemir> as in the drive died hardware wise
[01:53] <sayers> How can I have firestarter start up with SU without asking me?
[01:53] <lietu> faemir: does the BIOS recognice it properly?
[01:53] <faemir> yes
[01:53] <Pici> faemir: And /dev/cdrom doesnt work either?
[01:54] <faemir> Pici: no
[01:54] <Pici> hmm
[01:54] <natsumey_> erm
[01:54] <natsumey_> what is the best way to clone a linux to an image
[01:54] <Pici> faemir: What about /dev/dvd
[01:54] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1 I've the output for you, and some other info about the problem http://pastebin.com/m5bef21cc
[01:54] <faemir> Pici no
[01:55] <Olgem> It randomly unmounts/disconnects and I have trouble writing to it
[01:55] <lietu> faemir: try /dev/scd0
[01:55] <faemir> lietu, no
[01:55] <faemir> i'm gonna try a livecd, be back later.
[01:56] <SeveredCross> Anyone ever had an issue with X getting all discolored after a screen blanking?
[01:56] <SeveredCross> And not regaining its color until you restart X.
[01:57] <lietu> natsumey_: I guess dd if=/dev/hard-disk-device of=imagefile.img .... you should figure out what harddisk device file you want to use and you should also create the image file on another disk/partition as it WILL take as much space as the partition/disk does
[01:57] <Frogzoo> SeveredCross: it's happened to me - driver issues
[01:57] <SeveredCross> Ugh.
[01:57] <SeveredCross> Bloody fglrx.
[01:57] <iNcrease> lietu, mzz u have any idea , now windows find my linux shares etc but linux cant find the windows shares...
[01:57] <natsumey_> that the problem
[01:57] <SeveredCross> I can't use the opensource ATI driver either, because it's a Mobility Radeon X1400.
[01:57] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: cool. sorry, i seem to have got booted or something, but i'm back now. /var/log/messages looks okay. which makes everything even wierder. is it a standard usb-stick or an mp3-player pretending to be a mass storage medium?
[01:57] <Frogzoo> SeveredCross: which card?
[01:57] <natsumey_> i want clone my server with 320GB
[01:57] <raboof> hi! i'm booting ubuntu from an USB drive
[01:57] <SeveredCross> ^^
[01:57] <lietu> iNcrease: do you get any errors?
[01:57] <natsumey_> but i only have space for 20GB
[01:58] <chrisLAbeard> so i have this problem with my computer - cube runs amazing effects work amazingly but for some reason when i type its laggy anyone got any ideas ? why
[01:58] <raboof> hibernate doesn't seem to work: hibernate-to-disk seems to crash before going into hibernate
[01:58] <egomaniac> for some reason, my CPU is being taxed alot
[01:58] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1, standard USB stick
[01:58] <SeveredCross> And I'm having issues with Liferea too, but those may be related to Gutsy..The X issue has been persistent since Edgy.
[01:58] <raboof> hibernate to memory seems to work, except that when I get back out of hibernation my disk is gone, so I can't do anything anymore ;)
[01:58] <iNcrease> lietu, nope when i go to network smb he just gives empty screen
[01:58] <lietu> oh, I dunno anything about any of these gui tools ;)
[01:58] <raboof> any ideas what to do?
[01:59] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: if you can afford to lose any information on it, i'd try unmounting it and then cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sdc (or whichever the node of the stick itself was)
[01:59] <lietu> I've never bothered to learn to use them that well as each distribution has different gui tools and different problems with them
[01:59] <freq1420> can I ask about partitions here?
[01:59] <gil>  vkyftki
[01:59] <Lustblader> any1 here know how to get my 5 button mouse working ????
[01:59] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1 sure
[01:59] <IdleOne> !mouse
[01:59] <ubotu> Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[01:59] <Lustblader> ??
[01:59] <Lustblader> any1 here know how to get my 5 button mouse working ????
[02:00] <SeveredCross> !mouse | Lustblader
[02:00] <ubotu> Lustblader: please see above
[02:00] <lousygarua> freq1420: sure
[02:00] <lietu> Lustblader: stop being a retard and repeating your question, ESPECIALLY after you were told the answer
[02:00] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: if that works without complaining, you may be able to reformat the disk. i'm betting that there's something wrong with the file allocation tables
[02:00] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1, it dissapeared from /dev/ again and I will now have to replug it in
[02:01] <WaxyFresh> whats a good text to speech program
[02:01] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: yeah, plug it back in and try "cat /proc/partitions"
[02:01] <IdleOne> lietu, please dont insult the user. for new user to irc it is sometimes difficult to keep up with the scroll and they dont always see the answer when it is given to them
[02:01] <raboof> WaxyFresh: festival was the most solid last time i checked (which was a long time ago)
[02:01] <lietu> iNcrease: I really dunno, it seems my network browser even shows my windows xp running under vmware easily
[02:01] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1, yeah, it isn't listed :<
[02:01] <chrisLAbeard> no ideas
[02:01] <WaxyFresh> raboof: sudo apt-get festival?
[02:02] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: if it's coming and going at random from /dev, there's something wrong which may be difficult to fix
[02:02] <iNcrease> lietu, mzz oke np
[02:02] <Lustblader> thx IdleOne
[02:02] <freq1420> I currently have "/" and "/home", 2 partitions on an 80GB drive.  I'm planning to change this partition setup when I upgrade to the next version of Ubuntu.  I just wanna know what "/var", "/tmp", and those other partitions are for.
[02:02] <lietu> IdleOne: fine enough... I just hate people who a) use multiple question marks in a row b) use numbers and letters to replace parts of words c) decide to ignore all the text in the channel and d) repeat their line every 5 seconds just in case nobody has seen it
[02:02] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: you plugged it back in and waited a few seconds and there isn't an entry in /proc/partitions? that's strange. can you keep "tail -f /var/log/messages" going in a shell fenster in the background?
[02:02] <Olgem> Yes, I'm not sure where to go from here, but I've had this problem on a seperate computer with ubuntu installed, and in another debian install on this same computer
[02:03] <Olgem> sure
[02:03] <Olgem> let me do that
[02:03] <Lustblader> little kid
[02:03] <raboof> WaxyFresh: apt-cache search festival - you might want some additional packages
[02:03] <IdleOne> lietu, I hear you buddy but if we are going to help people we need to realise that they dont always see the help when it is being provide. some people need " hand holds " :)
[02:04] <SeveredCross> All I get when searching for stuff about my issue on Google is people talking about the MacBooks getting discolored.
[02:04] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: and then pull the stick out and plug it back in again. tail -f /var/log/messages will automatically follow any new messages
[02:04] <limin> i like unbuntu
[02:04] <L0cKn> unbuntu?XD
[02:04] <IdleOne> limin, it's Ubuntu
[02:04] <L0cKn> LOOOOL
[02:04] <howlingmadhowi1> limin: spelling :)
[02:04] <limin> i sorry
[02:04] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1 thats what I'm doing, just a sec
[02:04] <limin> I a Chinese student
[02:04] <WaxyFresh> raboof: thanks!
[02:05] <digiqq> limin: can I help you?
[02:05] <L0cKn> Burruntu, not Ubuntu :D
[02:05] <L0cKn> lol
[02:05] <WaxyFresh> is there any way to track down a copy of goobuntu?
[02:05] <L0cKn> goobuntu?
[02:05] <L0cKn> O-o
[02:05] <IdleOne> !enter | L0cKn
[02:05] <ubotu> L0cKn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:06] <Frogzoo> WaxyFresh: that was a myth for like 24 hours
[02:06] <egomaniac> need help installing VLC
[02:06] <lietu> IdleOne: heh, yeah, I guess so... let's just say that my patience is quite limited and I generally dont bother helping people who dont bother acting sane... let's say someone was running around the streets waving their hands in the air yelling "help! help me, anyone! it's broken!" and repeating that over and over again, I'd propably just call the cops on him and laugh a bit ;)
[02:06] <egomaniac> or general installations
[02:06] <limin> How to use Apache on ubuntu
[02:06] <egomaniac> how exactly do they work?
[02:06] <digiqq> limin: check if you have httpd service
[02:06] <L0cKn> IdleOne: rotfl
[02:06] <Slahser> egomaniac: fire up synaptic
[02:06] <Lustblader> ego maniac use the package manager egomaniac
[02:07] <digiqq> limin: I think the default installation comes with Apache installed already
[02:07] <limin> I understand,thanks.
[02:07] <egomaniac> ok im in Synpatic. it's telling me about adding repositories
[02:07] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1 here is the output as I did /dev/urandom > /dev/sdc
[02:07] <Olgem> http://pastebin.com/m283aee18
[02:07] <digiqq> limin: no problem
[02:07] <egomaniac> is AptLine what im looking for?
[02:07] <WaxyFresh> Frogzoo: i thought i saw an artical on it somewhere?
[02:07] <IdleOne> lietu, lol that makes sense but we ask that all ubuntu users follow the !CoC and when your patience runs thin well then you go play a game or take a walk or something :)
[02:07] <Lustblader> yeah .. tick it.. egomaniac
[02:08] <lietu> hehe, sure ;)
[02:08] <Lustblader> nope ego
[02:08] <Frogzoo> WaxyFresh: you did, it was a hoax
[02:08] <egomaniac> hmmm one says yes, one says no
[02:08] <Lustblader> egomaniac: go to entertainment/audio-video
[02:08] <Lustblader> n scroll down n look for vlc
[02:08] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: did you 'umount /dev/sdc1' before 'cat /dev/urandom > /dev/sdc'?
[02:09] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1, it was never mounted in the first place
[02:09] <egomaniac> sorry for being a pain but there is no Entertainment/audio-video
[02:09] <egomaniac> I think somethings wrong
[02:09] <egomaniac> i searched VLC but its not here
[02:10] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: there's something very strange going on here. if i'm reading this correctly, the stick isn't getting a node at all any longer.
[02:10] <chrisLAbeard> what is the biggest reason a computer wouldbe laggy?
[02:10] <Lustblader> then try sudo apt-get install vlc
[02:10] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1 also when it appears in /dev/ it is usually just sdc rather than having any sdc1/sdc2
[02:10] <Lustblader> chrisLAbeard: virus
[02:10] <Slahser> chrisLAbeard: usually the biggest reason would be microsoft windows
[02:10] <Frogzoo> chrisLAbeard: explain "laggy"
[02:10] <chrisLAbeard> oh no on ubuntu
[02:11] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: that means that the linux kernel hasn't recognised a partition on the stick
[02:11] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1 maybe its a bad USB stick?
[02:11] <chrisLAbeard> frogzoo on my ubuntu if i have beryl running when i try to type its really laggy but apps open just fine and the cube runs very smooth
[02:11] <Olgem> I did fsck a couple times to no avail
[02:11] <chrisLAbeard> frogzoo i cant figure out the problem
[02:12] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: if you have another usb stick, try that. the linux usb subsystem is actually pretty good, so we're probably looking at a hardware problem here (or maybe something on your mainboard that doesn't support linux)
[02:12] <Olgem> I'm going to run memtest86 and look at my SMART readings later, I've been having problems with applications thinking the disk is full when it really isn't in debian
[02:12] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1 I do have another USB stick thankfully, and that works spectacular
[02:13] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: do you often use the computer with the case open?
[02:13] <Frogzoo> chrisLAbeard: take a look in /var/log/messages & /var/log/Xorg.0.log & google for anything that looks like an error
[02:13] <chrisLAbeard> k
[02:13] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1 no,
[02:13] <Frogzoo> chrisLAbeard: tail -f those logs while its lagging
[02:13] <chrisLAbeard> frogzoo how do you tail -f in terminal ?
[02:13] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1 but I have opened it up quite a bit to install stuff, but that must have been at least 2 months ago
[02:14] <Frogzoo> chrisLAbeard: eg: tail -f /var/log/messages
[02:14] <chrisLAbeard> frogzoo so its something other than the video card hopefully?
[02:14] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: okay. then it sounds unlikely that something overheated (i once fried a dvd-burner by installing ubuntu while the case was open. the internal fans had no way of knowing that things were getting hot, so they didn't switch on -as if it would have helped)
[02:14] <Frogzoo> chrisLAbeard: who knows?
[02:14] <Olgem> Note it has happened on another computer with fiesty also installed, but on windowsXP it _seemed_ to function well, but I can't confirm
[02:15] <chrisLAbeard> frogzoo yeah its just weird that everything works fine but text input
[02:15] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: well, if beryl works fine, I'd doubt it being the vid card
[02:15] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: then it's more likely to be the usb-stick than the computer itself. maybe borrow a usbstick from a friend and see if that works in ubuntu
[02:15] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: does sound like a mysterious problem tho
[02:16] <chrisLAbeard> lietu yeah and its not a ram problem its been pretty annoying i have to turn beryl off everytime i need to do something using typing
[02:16] <Olgem> Sure, I have another I can use for now, would you might know how often people can get bad USB-Sticks? I thought they were like processors where you almost never get a bad one despite complexity
[02:16] <alesan> is it possible to mount a USB key with permissions to access from ALL users and not only the current one?
[02:16] <_imran_> hey all, does anybody know where i can get a mac style menu bar?
[02:16] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: one thing you might want to check is opening up a terminal and running "uptime", if the numbers after "load average:" are higher than 1, your computer might be under somewhat high strain and that could cause some problems
[02:16] <Olgem> howlingmadhowi1**
[02:16] <power220> Dear All
[02:17] <chrisLAbeard> lietu what could cause high strain ?
[02:17] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: so with beryl off it works fine? tried fiddling with beryl's settings, beryl has quite a lot of weird problems that can be fixed by using one of the "special" settings
[02:17] <power220> can any one help me plz i have proplem on my ubuntu server
[02:17] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: i really don't know. short of having one run over by a car, i've never had a problem with a usb-stick myself (although my sample space is restricted to two (2) usbsticks in total :) )
[02:17] <Frogzoo> chrisLAbeard: you should try removing the wacom definitions in /etc/X11/xorg.conf which you don't need (back it up before you start fiddling)
[02:17] <power220> i have ubuntu server and when i installed squid the outlook and thunderbired and any email-claint now work on the clints
[02:17] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: erm, running some programs that use the cpu a lot ;)
[02:17] <gordonjcp> Olgem: they're not that complex, usually only one or two chips and a USB connector ;-)
[02:17] <power220> i have ubuntu server and when i installed squid the outlook and thunderbired and any email-claint not work on the clints
[02:17] <chrisLAbeard> frogzoo so i do need to back that up
[02:18] <Olgem> ah, well thanks anyway for the help howlingmadhowi1 :)
[02:18] <chrisLAbeard> lietu yeah i've turned off the wobbly windows and other stuff im not using but i coudln't find anything else really
[02:18] <lirakis> Does anyone use a SATA DVD burner here?? I am looking to get a new drive b/c my old one died... i just want to make sure that a SATA DVD burner will be properly supported...
[02:18] <howlingmadhowi1> Olgem: sorry i couldn't help more. :(
[02:18] <Olgem> Its ok :)
[02:18] <strupar> This may be a stupid question, but I'm rather new at this: how do I type accented characters? I get no response when I use the assigned third level chooser, and assigning a compose key allows me to press i.e alt+gr+]  and see the ]  be consumed, but no accenting occurs when I press i.e a afterwards
[02:18] <_imran_> hey all, does anybody know where i can get a mac style menu bar?
[02:18] <Frogzoo> chrisLAbeard: start with basics - what does 'top' say your % cpu is when you have these probs?
[02:19] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: I meant the "special" stuff.. I usually get it from the diamond-icon in the upper right corner in the screen, tho, not sure if that appears with ubuntu
[02:19] <power220> i have ubuntu server and when i installed squid the outlook and thunderbired and any email-claint not work on the clints
[02:19] <chrisLAbeard> frogzoo i dont know where to see that
[02:19] <Frogzoo> chrisLAbeard: run 'top' in a terminal
[02:19] <chrisLAbeard> lietu yeah it does
[02:19] <Frogzoo> chrisLAbeard: it will have a line "Cpu"
[02:19] <chrisLAbeard> frogzoo k i will see im not on the computer right now
[02:19] <howlingmadhowi1> strupar: try asking in the ubuntu-forum for the language you want to use accented characters in
[02:19] <xuanfei> hi everybody
[02:20] <xuanfei> i from china
[02:20] <bradleesargent> hello
[02:20] <xuanfei> haha
[02:20] <xuanfei> hi
[02:20] <bradleesargent> I have a question
[02:20] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: when you right-click that icon, you should see a bunch of settings, one of those might be causing the "lag"
[02:20] <Balachmar> Hi, which programs can I use to view vodcasts?
[02:20] <xuanfei> where are you from
[02:20] <howlingmadhowi1> xuanfei: greetings to the land of the middle, xuanfei :)
[02:20] <strupar> howlingmadhowi1: it should not matter which language, no kind of accenting works at all
[02:20] <_imran_> hey all, does anybody know where i can get a mac style menu bar?
[02:20] <xuanfei> do you like ubuntu
[02:20] <chrisLAbeard> alright so not the beryl settings but the other stuff in the menu ?
[02:20] <howlingmadhowi1> strupar: it's possible you've selected a keyboard with "nodeadkeys"
[02:20] <digiqq> xuanfei: halo, i'm from China too
[02:21] <bradleesargent> the internet stopped working on another computer
[02:21] <chrisLAbeard> lietu sorry forgot to direct alright so not the beryl settings but the other stuff in the menu ?
[02:21] <xuanfei> o  so happy
[02:21] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: yeah, atleast I dunno if you can find those settings in beryl-settings
[02:21] <xuanfei> hi
[02:21] <xuanfei> hi
[02:21] <xuanfei> do you have msn
[02:21] <bradleesargent> can someone help me
[02:21] <strupar> howlingmadhowi1: can you explain what that might mean?
[02:21] <Slahser> bradleesargent: sup
[02:21] <bradleesargent> the internet stopped working I don't know why
[02:21] <Slahser> any more info than it just stopped working?
[02:21] <xuanfei> i am the first using the Xchat today
[02:21] <Slahser> i.e. wireless or..?
[02:22] <xuanfei> are you here
[02:22] <digiqq> xuanfei: great
[02:22] <Slahser> !offtipic | xuanfei
[02:22] <lietu> I'm just having weird problems with beryl myself, the desktop is left without a window manager, as in, the top bars with which you move the windows refuse to appear, nor do I get that diamond icon to fiddle with the settings or anything
[02:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about offtipic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:22] <xuanfei> do you have MSN
[02:22] <Slahser> grr i cant type
[02:22] <bradleesargent> when I click on the network icon in the gnome panel...it says cound not find information 'usg:avi;' in /proc/net/dev
[02:22] <lirakis> Anyone here have issues with a SATA DVD burner ???
[02:22] <xuanfei> what
[02:22] <Slahser> !offtopic | xuanfei
[02:22] <ubotu> xuanfei: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:22] <bradleesargent> slasher: not wireless
[02:23] <xuanfei> oh
[02:23] <chrisLAbeard> lietu k thank for your help i will play with some settings and check my cpu levels
[02:23] <digiqq> xuanfei: join another channel: #off-topic
[02:23] <xuanfei> i sorry
[02:23] <howlingmadhowi1> strupar: gnome also has a keyboard indicator applet which you can install by right-clicking on the menubar. then you can switch keyboard layouts by clicking on it. "nodeadkeys" mean things like: to write an  on a german keyboard, i could type ` and then a. selecting "nodeadkeys" dissables this
[02:23] <Slahser> strange bradleesargent
[02:23] <Balachmar> I want to use vodcasts but amarok doesn't seem to like them, which program should I use then?
[02:23] <xuanfei> my english to bad
[02:23] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: if that doesnt help, you should try checking for beryl-related help with google I think
[02:23] <chrisLAbeard> lietu try and get to the bottom of this cause the processor is more than required and also the ram
[02:23] <xuanfei> my i use chinese
[02:23] <chrisLAbeard> lietu alright i will check that out
[02:23] <strupar> howlingmadhowi1: thanks, im going to look more into it
[02:23] <xuanfei> what
[02:24] <egomaniac> Someone please help this is not working too well
[02:24] <bradleesargent> slasher: it may have happened after I installed gnome-desktop 2.0
[02:24] <howlingmadhowi1> strupar: i have my keyboard indicator set up for german, english, usa, french and norwegian and i switch between them as needed :)
[02:24] <dazjorz> How do I prevent a self-compiled package from upgrading by apt-get ?
[02:24] <dazjorz> I remember there's some kind of way to lock packages
[02:25] <power220> i have ubuntu server and when i installed squid the outlook and thunderbired and any email-claint not work on the clints
[02:25] <Slahser> bradleesargent: i can't find any information on it, sorry :(
[02:26] <roy> hello, my friend is trying to install kubuntu 7.04, but if he tries to boot, it says "Could not find kernel image." Any ideas?
[02:26] <egomaniac> Is there anyone there to help?
[02:26] <bradleesargent> slasher: is there something that binds eth0 with inet?
[02:26] <digiqq> roy: did he boot from cd or harddrive?
[02:26] <pascal80> How do I prevent a kernel module from loading?
[02:26] <howlingmadhowi1> roy: that sounds like grub is trying to boot from the wrong partition or from a non-existent kernel image
[02:26] <xuanfei> hi
[02:27] <digiqq> egomaniac: what's ur prob?
[02:27] <roy> and what can i do?
[02:28] <howlingmadhowi1> roy: digiqq's question is a good one. how far has he got with the installation? is he trying to use the live cd or has he already installed ubuntu and is now booting from the harddrive?
[02:28] <roy> he wants to boot from the live cd
[02:28] <roy> and then he gets that error
[02:28] <m1r> roy ; check cd for defects
[02:28] <egomaniac>  I'm trying to install
[02:28] <egomaniac>  you know, apps in general
[02:28] <egomaniac>  but it's really confusing
[02:28] <egomaniac>  ive looked at some tutorials
[02:28] <egomaniac>  but still cant get it
[02:28] <roy> he did that already
[02:28] <egomaniac>  one in particular im trying is VLC
[02:28] <egomaniac>  I tried going through the Synaptic Package Manager, but im having trouble with that
[02:28] <egomaniac>  and i cant find out about any other ways.
[02:28] <roy> and he got the same error
[02:29] <howlingmadhowi1> pascal80: you can add it to a file in /etc/modprobe.d. one of the 'blacklist' files would do it
[02:29] <lietu> ok, was I just lagging or did egomaniac just paste all that?
[02:29] <osfameron> the live CDs used to be burnt far too fast and would fall over on install quite regularly...
[02:29] <m1r> roy, probably bad cd if u cant get to cd check
[02:29] <egomaniac> sorry i pasted all that because i wrote to digiqq in a private message but i dont think he got it all
[02:29] <roy> but on my computer it worked
[02:29] <egomaniac> so i just copied and psated it
[02:29] <lietu> egomaniac: next time, please make it a one-liner
[02:29] <egomaniac> ok im sorry
[02:29] <egomaniac> thanks
[02:29] <howlingmadhowi1> roy: that's unusual. has he got a standard desktop or notebook with a built in cd/dvd drive? or is his hardware more exotic?
[02:30] <pascal80> howlingmadhowi1: my network card loads both de4x5 and de2104x modules, but only de4x5 module works
[02:30] <howlingmadhowi1> roy: in other words, has he got a sony?
[02:30] <lietu> now, what trouble are you having, egomaniac ?
[02:30] <xuanfei> who is chinese people
[02:30] <xuanfei> can you help me
[02:30] <egomaniac> Basic/General installation. I tried installing VLC through the SPM, but nothing's working, I think.
[02:30] <slabby> When installing phpbb3, it tells me that the directories are not writable. How can I correct this? What user needs to have write permission?
[02:30] <digiqq> xuanfei: what is it?
[02:30] <howlingmadhowi1> pascal80: try adding de2104x to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and rebooting
[02:30] <pascal80> howlingmadhowi1: I tried to blacklist de2104x in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist but de2104x still gets loaded
[02:30] <lietu> egomaniac: define "not working"
[02:30] <xuanfei> wei shen men bu li w
[02:31] <CheshireViking> !cn | xuanfei
[02:31] <lietu> egomaniac: do you get errors, or?
[02:31] <ubotu> xuanfei: For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[02:31] <egomaniac> well i went through the repositories menu and checked all the settings it asked me to
[02:31] <egomaniac> then it went on to download something
[02:31] <egomaniac> but the download just hangs up.
[02:31] <digiqq> xuanfei: better join ubuntu-cn, they can help u out
[02:31] <roy> he's got an acer notebook
[02:31] <chrisLAbeard> has anyone ever tried fedora?
[02:32] <lietu> egomaniac: well that sounds strange... dont think it has anything to do with it, but did you update the repositories after you checked the settings?
[02:32] <egomaniac> When Ipress reload, it hangs up at "File 39 of 54"
[02:32] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: yes?
[02:32] <chrisLAbeard> lietu is it anygood compared to ubuntu
[02:32] <egomaniac> yea i tried. you have to press reload, right?
[02:32] <howlingmadhowi1> roy: acer is usually okay, so I'd recommend he burn the cd again and see if it now works. also do an md5sum check on the cd image before burning it
[02:32] <matthewpoer> I come from Debian. I am here for Beryl and Compiz...
[02:32] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: depends on what you want from an OS
[02:32] <pascal80> howlingmadhowi1: what could be the problem?
[02:32] <xuanfei> thank
[02:32] <howlingmadhowi1> pascal80: is the wrong module listed in /etc/modules?
[02:32] <chrisLAbeard> lietu to be quick
[02:33] <lietu> I liked it, hated the package manager tho, it was buggy and slow... otherwise I didn't have many problems with it
[02:33] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: well, it's not that newbie-friendly really
[02:33] <roy> and how do i do an md5sum check?
[02:33] <pascal80> howlingmadhowi1: I just added de4x5 to /etc/modules
[02:33] <matthewpoer> how the heck does compiz/beryl run out-of-the-box? composite extension isn't enabled. does x.org 7.2 just support it natively?
[02:33] <IndyGunFreak> chrisLAbeard: i'll come out and say it, no, i don't think its better than fedora, Yum is awful compared to apt-get, just to name one of the things i don't like
[02:33] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: and you have to disable a few security features propably to be able to work with it properly, mainly SELinux
[02:33] <egomaniac> Lietu do you know anything about this?
[02:34] <lietu> egomaniac: is that when updating the repositories?
[02:34] <lietu> egomaniac: or when trying to install stuff?
[02:34] <chrisLAbeard> lietu yeah that sounds above what i know
[02:34] <howlingmadhowi1> pascal80: basically, there could have been a problem downloading the cd (assuming it was downloaded). he could of course also be using the wrong cd (i don't know what the error message is if you try to install the 64-bit version on a 32-bit system, but it may well do that), or the cd burner may have made a small mistake (try burning it a bit slower)
[02:34] <egomaniac> If by update, you mean pressing the "Reload" button in SPM, then yes.
[02:34] <egomaniac> I havent even been able to find VLC in the SPM yet
[02:35] <howlingmadhowi1> pascal80: okay, maybe that'll help
[02:35] <lietu> egomaniac: yeah, that's what I meant, sorry.. I would guess that one of the repository mirrors you are using is down or under strain and not responding, how long have you waited for it to continue ?
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> chrisLAbeard: what are you having problems with in Ubuntu?
[02:35] <egomaniac> about 10 minutes now.
[02:35] <lietu> egomaniac: it should automatically timeout and continue after a while... not sure what the exact time is, but I'd guess <2min
[02:35] <egomaniac> Is there a way I can change mirrors and try again?
[02:35] <lietu> egomaniac: well then I have no idea
[02:35] <kayzu> how do i get the desktop effects working? it says "the composite extension is not available"  (i have the latest nvidia driver (100.14.11) installed)
[02:35] <lietu> egomaniac: I'd rather have someone else more familiar with ubuntu's repositories help you with that ;)
[02:36] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak when i have beryl on my computer gets kinda laggy and its hard to type but applications load fine and the 3d cube etc. work fine
[02:36] <egomaniac> Thanks, anyway lietu. glad you tried to help :)
[02:36] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak just when i type
[02:36] <egomaniac> is there anyone else here that knows more about repositories
[02:36] <pascal80> howlingmadhowi1: stays the same, I have to unload both modules and only load de4x5 to get my network going
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> chrisLAbeard: whats the speed of the PC?
[02:36] <lietu> chrisLAbeard: generally fedora aint that easy to use, it IS easy *if* it happens to work perfect for you, rarely it does tho ;)
[02:37] <howlingmadhowi1> egomaniac: you can find lists of official repositories on ubuntu.org. then you have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and apt-get update. alternatively, you can wait until the repository you're using now is back up and running :)
[02:37] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak its a 2158.200
[02:37] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3000+
[02:37] <IndyGunFreak> chrisLAbeard: how much ram?
[02:38] <Laibsch> I know it is generally not a good idea to install Debian packages in Ubuntu.  I wonder if that is also the case for mediawiki where the are no binaries inside but just a bunch of PHP.
[02:38] <howlingmadhowi1> pascal80: do you know when the modules are being loaded while booting? does dmesg mention them? ('dmesg | grep <module name>')
[02:38] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak 768MB
[02:39] <matthewpoer> howlingmadhowi1: be careful, Debian webapps will modify apache configuration files. I would back up your original first, in case it goes nutty
[02:39] <IndyGunFreak> chrisLAbeard: did you install the 32bit, or 64bit version of Ubuntu?
[02:39] <matthewpoer> (it shouldn't go nutty... but be careful)
[02:39] <egomaniac> howlingmadhowil: how do I edit sources.list?
[02:39] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak its the 7.04 thats all i know
[02:39] <egomaniac> and what do i update it with?
[02:39] <alesan> is it possible to mount a USB key with permissions to access from ALL users and not only the current one?
[02:39] <howlingmadhowi1> Laibsch: you may need to do some configuring to get everything working (make a few links or move things around). there might be a good tutorial in the net. i'd recommend downloading the sources and following the official installation tutorial (assumign there is one)
[02:39] <IndyGunFreak> chrisLAbeard: what was the name of the iso file you burned?
[02:39] <posod> helo
[02:40] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak i got it from the website i think its the 32bit
[02:40] <kayzu> how do i get the desktop effects working? it says "the composite extension is not available"  (i have the latest nvidia driver (100.14.11) installed)
[02:40] <lietu> IndyGunFreak: if he has athlon XP the 64bit version wouldn't run
[02:40] <IndyGunFreak> lietu: oh yeah, thats right, sorry long night.
[02:40] <lietu> ;)
[02:40] <fdr> !crypto
[02:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about crypto - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:41] <fdr> !encryptedfs
[02:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about encryptedfs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:41] <fdr> !truecrypt
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> chrisLAbeard: well, that doesn't make much sense, your PC should be more than pow3werfunl enough to run beryl fine.
[02:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about truecrypt - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:41] <HEP85> !truecrypt
[02:41] <egomaniac> ubuntu.org doesnt even work
[02:41] <IndyGunFreak> chrisLAbeard: my lapto is far slower than that(933mhz, 768mb Ram), and it runs beryl perfectly
[02:42] <fdr> !cryptsetup
[02:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cryptsetup - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:42] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak thats whats weird it runs all the effects and animations fine but for some reason laggs on the typing
[02:42] <howlingmadhowi1> egomaniac: indeed. i can't get to it either atm.
[02:42] <osfameron> gah, I could never work truecrypt at all
[02:42] <fdr> hmm... does anybody know of a god HOWTO for encrypting the fs on my usb pendrive? thanks!
[02:42] <egomaniac> ah well, i'll try again later.
[02:42] <egomaniac> thanks anyway, howling.
[02:42] <shadowmancer> hey does anyone know whats wrong with the ubuntu servers
[02:42] <IndyGunFreak> chrisLAbeard: i don't know, doesn't make a lot of sense
[02:42] <egomaniac> maybe thats why my downloads were hanging up?
[02:43] <osfameron> fdr: I'd like that too, perhaps something that was also readable on windows...
[02:43] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak yeah its very frustrating
[02:43] <pascal80> howlingmadhowi1: both are mentioned in dmesg
[02:43] <Laibsch> howlingmadhowi1: For an initial install, just downloading the stuff from the net is probably easier and even more up to date.  But I do like the eventual upgradability of packages.
[02:43] <howlingmadhowi1> shadowmancer: looks like they're not online atm. (serve them right for using windows 2003)
[02:43] <shadowmancer> i can't even get new package listings
[02:43] <fdr> osfameron, AFAIK truecrypt works both under linux and windows -- but I have never tried it
[02:43] <howlingmadhowi1> pascal80: can you paste the entire dmesg to pastebin?
[02:44] <shadowmancer> so anyone with some advic
[02:44] <shadowmancer> i am a little new to ubuntu
[02:44] <mimilus> hello
[02:44] <shadowmancer> and i have tried a few servers
[02:44] <kayzu> how do i get the desktop effects working? it says "the composite extension is not available"  (i have the latest nvidia driver (100.14.11) installed)
[02:44] <shadowmancer> but can't get anything
[02:44] <shadowmancer> it always hangs
[02:44] <mimilus> is it possible to move an existing installation of ubuntu to an other disk ?
[02:45] <zyth> mimilus, yes, but it is not simple.
[02:45] <CheshireViking> !cloning | mimilus, maybe this is what you are looking for
[02:45] <ubotu> mimilus, maybe this is what you are looking for: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[02:45] <howlingmadhowi1> Laibsch: you're right of course. i've just googled for 'mediawiki deb ubuntu' and there seems to be a mediawiki package in universe
[02:45] <reizend> shadowmancer: I just tried an apt-get update and I see that us.archive.ubuntu.com is hanging for me
[02:45] <mimilus> no i want to move my installation from a disk of 4 GO to a disk to 40 GO
[02:46] <reizend> shadomancer:so you are not alone at the moment
[02:46] <shadowmancer> k
[02:46] <iNcrease> anyone can help? i have lan , i can access from windows my shares of linux but i cant access my windows share from linux ..
[02:46] <shadowmancer> i have tried a bunch of the mirrors
[02:46] <shadowmancer> and none so far have gone
[02:46] <reizend> shadowmancer:you can take those entries that hang temporarily out of the list if you need to try to install something
[02:46] <howlingmadhowi1> mimilus: theoretically, you can copy everything across and then reinstall grub.
[02:47] <reizend> shadowmancer:or rather just comment them out
[02:47] <shadowmancer> this is hanging getting the list
[02:47] <shadowmancer> i haven't even gotten to choosing the packages
[02:47] <mimilus> howlingmadhowi1: with a live CD it will work
[02:47] <mimilus> it is so simple ?
[02:47] <bimmelim> what do I enter at network and netmask in "shared folders"? My lan switch is at 192.168.1.1.
[02:48] <mimilus> howlingmadhowi1: i'm oing to try tahnk's
[02:48] <reizend> shadowmancer: are you doing this with the command line or with a graphical program
[02:48] <shadowmancer> graphical
[02:48] <howlingmadhowi1> mimilus: it is so simple, provided you trust yourself to install grub on the target drive
[02:48] <shadowmancer> i tried with command line as weel
[02:48] <shadowmancer> well*
[02:48] <shadowmancer> but couldn't get it either
[02:48] <bimmelim> i want to share to the whole lan
[02:48] <shadowmancer> but i am not too good with the command line
[02:48] <mimilus> howlingmadhowi1: ok i'm trying it
[02:48] <howlingmadhowi1> shadowmancer: ubuntu.org appears to be down. i'd just wait till they've switched it back on again
[02:48] <iNcrease> anyone can help? i have lan , i can access from windows my shares of linux but i cant access my windows share from linux ..
[02:49] <shadowmancer> k
[02:49] <interglossa> anyone know if there is an IM client for ubuntu that supports yahoo webcam?
[02:50] <reizend> iNcrease: is your windows share on the windows machine or is it on the ubuntu machine
[02:50] <lietu> anyone have any ideas why beryl would refuse to load the window manager? if I choose metacity from beryl icon->select window manager->metacity, it works fine, if I select beryl, I get no window manager
[02:50] <iNcrease> reizend, windows share on windows pc...
[02:50] <kayzu> how do i get the desktop effects working? it says "the composite extension is not available"  (i have the latest nvidia driver (100.14.11) installed)
[02:50] <howlingmadhowi1> mimilus: you'll also have to update /etc/fstab
[02:50] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak do you think it could be my video card?
[02:50] <interglossa> repeat is there an IM client to handle yahoo video?
[02:50] <shadowmancer> and does anyone have problems getting a D-Link dsl-g604t to connect wirelessly with  ubuntu
[02:51] <IndyGunFreak> chrisLAbeard: anything is possible, what type of video device?
[02:51] <reizend> iNcrease: ok, I encountered an issue the other way before
[02:51] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak its a ATI RADEON 9250
[02:51] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak w/ 256MB of its own ram
[02:51] <shadowmancer> because i am out of ideas
[02:51] <bimmelim_> shadowmancer: you may need to get newest ndiswrapper and compile it.
[02:51] <Laibsch> howlingmadhowi1: Yes, there is a mediawiki in ubuntu and debian.  The reason I am interested in the debian one is that even gutsy is still at 1.9 and debian has 1.10.  mediawiki 1.10 has introduced better user-level access control and I need that.
[02:51] <IndyGunFreak> chrisLAbeard: well, ATI does pretty much suck for Linux, but somehow i doubt thats it.
[02:52] <shadowmancer> hmmm
[02:52] <shadowmancer> how do i do that?
[02:52] <toad__> how do you install java
[02:52] <howlingmadhowi1> Laibsch: oh, gotcha :). well back up your httpd.conf first and then install away!
[02:52] <iNcrease> reizend, it s just the problem my windows see and can access the shares of linux, on the windows pc stand couple of shares but linux cant see any of them
[02:52] <alie> hallo all
[02:52] <Pici> !netsplit
[02:52] <ubotu> netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
[02:52] <osfameron> fdr: I tried under windows and it crashed, under Linux and it moaned about a module not existing
[02:53] <iNcrease> mzz
[02:53] <reizend> iNcrease: what version of windows do you have
[02:53] <osfameron> fdr: I have previously delicioused this link http://arg0.net/wiki/encfs/intro2  dunno if that's useful for you
[02:53] <iNcrease> reizend xp home no service packs its an old pc
[02:53] <alie> how to install and configure squid on feisty ??
[02:53] <IndyGunFreak> lietu: well, easy ubuntu is a bad idea.
[02:53] <iNcrease> reizend, xp home no service packs its an old pc
[02:53] <pushpop> What port does VNC run on? On Ubuntu?
[02:54] <lietu> pushpop: you can check with netstat -lpn | grep -i vnc
[02:54] <lietu> IndyGunFreak: it is?
[02:54] <mimilus> howlingmadhowi1: ho i've not think it , UUID you want to say ?
[02:54] <reizend> iNcrease: ok home has issues like this on occasion. I will see what I can find out really quick and get back to you
[02:54] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak but if the drivers sucked that would mean that the cube woulnd't work as good as it does
[02:54] <riaal> is rTorrent a good torrent client?
[02:54] <omar> hello, i have a modem , it's name is "SoftV90 voice speakerphone modem", does anyone know if it works with linux ?
[02:54] <iNcrease> reizend, k ty
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> chrisLAbeard: possible, i dont know what your problem is.
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> !easyubuntu | lietu
[02:54] <ubotu> lietu: easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[02:54] <bimmelim_> I find it difficult to get "Shared Folders" to work. Server says permission denied for appearantly no reason. Any suggestions?
[02:54] <chrisLAbeard> indygunfreak thanks though
[02:55] <howlingmadhowi1> pushpop: port 5500+ display number
[02:55] <IndyGunFreak> !worksforme | lietu
[02:55] <reizend> iNcrease: do you have the share set to everyone or are you doing an authentication
[02:55] <ubotu> lietu: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[02:55] <lietu> IndyGunFreak: now that almost explains your point
[02:55] <omar> hello, i have a modem , it's name is "SoftV90 voice speakerphone modem", does anyone know if it works with linux ?
[02:55] <iNcrease> reizend, i just took "share this folder" i have only 1 other pc so...
[02:55] <howlingmadhowi1> mimilus: exactly. you'll have to find the uuids, of the partitions you want mounted automatically
[02:56] <pushpop> lietu: that did not work
[02:56] <bimmelim_> When entering "bim-desktop" in allowed host names, the name is automatically changed to "bim" after a while:-( Why is that?
[02:56] <pushpop> just goes to the next line
[02:56] <iNcrease> reizend, think its to evryone
[02:56] <lietu> IndyGunFreak: you gave me the homepage and irc channel for easyubuntu and then you said if it works for me, it doesnt necessary work for others... now that's not really an explanation on why easyubuntu is not a good thing
[02:56] <alie> please
[02:57] <Pici> lietu: alie 5
[02:57] <Pici> er
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> lietu: i didn't do anything, ubotu did.
[02:57] <Pici> lietu: oops sorry about that.
[02:57] <reizend> iNcrease: several years ago, about time I was using xp home with sp1, I discovered that if I shared a folder on the xp home machine even other windows machines could not see it unless the had an identical user
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> lietu: if you want ot use it, go for it, but its a bad idea.
[02:57] <lietu> IndyGunFreak: and you still havent told me why it is such a bad idea
[02:57] <IndyGunFreak> lietu: stick around the channel, you'll see.
[02:57] <howlingmadhowi1> IndyGunFreak: yeah, we've been trying to housetrain ubotu for a while now, but he's a resiliant little creature
[02:57] <lietu> well now that's also quite helpful
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> lietu: do what you want, i could care less.
[02:58] <reizend> iNcrease: you can try adding a user to the xp machine with any password and attempt to use that from the ubuntu machine
[02:58] <iNcrease> reizend, then we had the same prob , i got before linux windows 98 xp and vista non of them could find shares of the other pc
[02:58] <IndyGunFreak> lietu: but think about it, would ubotu say "use at your own risk", if it was actually worked most the time?
[02:58] <reizend> iNcrease: I remember that took me some time to discover
[02:58] <lietu> hell, I asked if there is a reason why it's a bad idea, that doesnt mean "why shouldn't I use it? but I so want to!!111eleven" .... IF there is something wrong, problematic, or something with the program, THAT is what I asked for
[02:58] <lietu> *about
[02:59] <lietu> .
[02:59] <bimmelim_> what do I set "network" and "netmask" to when allowing a specific network to access a shared folder? I want the entire lan to have access.
[02:59] <reizend> iNcrease: at the time I just created the identical users on all machines and the problem went away
[02:59] <Slahser> lietu: it sometimes screws up your system
[02:59] <iNcrease> reizend, the only thing why i want to do this is for printing , i make some work on this pc and i just want to print it to the printer at the windows pc... but he seems to not get the signal ...
[02:59] <Slahser> same as automatix can
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> lietu: i don't know if you're trolling or what, if you want to use it, feel free.
[02:59] <Slahser> though i used automatix with no problems
[02:59] <Slahser> but thats just me
[02:59] <lietu> IndyGunFreak: no, I'm not trolling, I am asking a simple question
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> and i'm giving you a simple answer
[02:59] <lietu> Slahser: right, now there's an answer
[02:59] <IndyGunFreak> learn to do things the right way
[02:59] <howlingmadhowi1> IndyGunFreak: , lietu: let's just calm down and start thinking of kittens and mountain tops, please :)
[03:00] <interglossa> anyone know the follow on to gaim
[03:00] <IndyGunFreak> howlingmadhowi1: ?.. i'm calm. mind your own biz
[03:00] <lietu> Slahser: thanks for it too ;)
[03:00] <IndyGunFreak> he's the one freaking out.
[03:00] <lietu> freaking out? hah
[03:00] <bimmelim_> catfight! :-D
[03:00] <genii> bimmelim_: Netmask etc depends. Most ppl use just 255.255.255.0   but if you have subnets you need to do some other calcs
[03:00] <dyrne> IndyGunFreak: you mean the new name pidgin?
[03:00] <iNcrease> reizend, well thx anyway ... if it don't work i just go on with my usb stick from pc to pc :D
[03:00] <b4l74z4r> doing things right is doing it the way that produce the results you want
[03:00] <lietu> I was getting annoyed because you were unable to give a simple answer that wasn't limited to "you can do it if you want to" or "are you a troll?"
[03:01] <dyrne> IndyGunFreak: im not talking to you ;p
[03:01] <IndyGunFreak> dyrne: huh?...
[03:01] <reizend> iNcrease: good luck
[03:01] <bimmelim_> genii: no subnets. is 255.255.255.0 the mask? What is the network?
[03:01] <iNcrease> reizend, ty
[03:01] <bimmelim_> Could it be 192.168.1.0?
[03:01] <reizend> iNcrease: np
[03:01] <interglossa> dyrne oh right just a name change thx
[03:01] <Pici> !offtopic | lietu IndyGunFreak
[03:01] <ubotu> lietu IndyGunFreak: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:01] <lietu> point taken ;)
[03:01] <IndyGunFreak> Pici: not random chatter, he's giving bad advice.
[03:02] <genii> bimmelim_: Most ppl have internal network numbers that are something like 192.168.X.X  where X could also be any # from 0 to 254
[03:02] <Slahser> np lietu
[03:02] <frenky> hi *
[03:02] <Pici> IndyGunFreak: Move it to offtopic or a pm, #ubuntu isnt the place to be arguing.
[03:02] <genii> bimmelim_: It depends on what numbers your router/modem may hand out or if static IP etc
[03:02] <frenky> have one question... Newbee..
[03:02] <Slahser> fire away
[03:02] <bimmelim_> genii: my router is at 192.168.1.1 and I get ip's in the range 192.168.1.X
[03:03] <genii> bimmelim_: You can find what range you are using if it's on auto by:   ifconfig   at a console
[03:03] <frenky> --> I would say this is some sort of virtual folder: "computer:///"
[03:03] <frenky> How is it configured?
[03:03] <genii> bimmelim_: OK, so netmask of 255.255.255.0 is good for you and broadcast IP of 192.168.1.255
[03:04] <Ernz> Hello, does anyone know how to fix a problem I have where tooltips show in wine, but do not disappear?
[03:04] <genii> bimmelim_: Gateway would be 192.168.1.1
[03:04] <bimmelim_> genii: yes. gateway is right
[03:05] <bimmelim_> shouldn't I write 192.168.1.0 for the network?
[03:05] <shadowmancer> is it strange that though the server is down it still sends me update info
[03:05] <genii> bimmelim_: Yes, 192.168.1.0 for the network
[03:06] <bimmelim_> thanks! trying that now:-)
[03:06] <mahrellon> Hi, are there any other firewalls for Ubuntu, that are easy to install, others than Firestarter?
[03:07] <kayzu> how do i get the desktop effects working? it says "the composite extension is not available"  (i have the latest nvidia driver (100.14.11) installed)
[03:07] <genii> mahrellon: tripwire is not bad
[03:07] <bimmelim_> still getting permission denied!
[03:07] <mahrellon> genii, thanks =)
[03:07] <genii> mahrellon: It's more of an intrusion detection program than a strict firewall tho, but good
[03:08] <mahrellon> genii: That's what I need. Something like Peerguardian :)
[03:08] <genii> bimmelim_: This is Samba stuff?
[03:08] <bimmelim_> genii: no, nfs
[03:09] <shadowmancer> i am getting a problem when i try to run doom 1 through wine, it complains about id tags are in hex
[03:09] <genii> bimmelim_: Ah. Make sure the username you are trying with is on both machines. Or relax permissions in the /etc/exports
[03:10] <MK> how do i change my ip address in ubuntu ?
[03:10] <MK> i want to change my machine's ip
[03:10] <b4l74z4r> doing it the right way in ubuntu is to choose add/remove and mark the the stuff you want installed or uninstalled
[03:10] <genii> MK Permanently?
[03:10] <bimmelim_> hm. genii, is the username important. I have two computers with one user on each, same uid, different name and password. ops
[03:10] <MK> yeah
[03:11] <bimmelim_> one share works, tho.
[03:11] <MK> genii
[03:11] <MK> its a network ip 192.168...
[03:11] <Catoptromancy> How do I make a shell script ask for a password, one that is set as "executable" and works by clicking icon?
[03:12] <genii> MK You need to put into the /etc/network/interfaces file an entry for whatever interface then, like eth0 that gives it a static IP and some network info
[03:12] <hq49b7> HELP! I installed pclinuxos earlier, and it worked fine. I pressed the 'suspend' button on my laptop, which seemed to work, and left it for a while. When I came back, I got to the 'screen is locked' dialog, but it crashed at this point. I restarted, but it failed to find anything. Both gparted 9on ZenLive) and PCLinuxOS's own partition manager tell me the hard drive is now a single large...
[03:12] <hq49b7> ...ext3 partition. WHAT HAPPENED!?!?! I know this is ubuntu help really, but I'm just hoping someone (anyone!) might have a clue what just happened.
[03:12] <N[i] X> hello, i just got done installing the latest ubuntu and was wondering how to install beryl.. i looked on google but couldent really find anything useful. can any1 help?
[03:12] <genii> MK man interfaces will help you with examples
[03:12] <MK> no other way through the control panel ?
[03:13] <genii> bimmelim_: If you make the passwords the same it would help. Or you can map incoming usernames to a common name on the server in the /etc/exports   file
[03:14] <genii> MK Likely there is, but right now i am on a KDE box and cannot help you with the gnome-specific way. the way i explained works with all *buntu
[03:14] <MK> genii, so i edit that file like how ?
[03:14] <MK> i know my connection where do i change the IP address for a static one ?
[03:14] <Xubuntakis> hello
[03:14] <MK> he always uses the .100 ending but i dont want that
[03:14] <pascal80> howlingmadhowi1: sorry it took so long, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31544/
[03:14] <Xubuntakis> i use xubuntu and it is very fast
[03:15] <Xubuntakis> but i installed a lot of packadges and now my system is heavy
[03:15] <Xubuntakis> is there any way i can revert to the original installation?
[03:15] <genii> MK you need admin priv, so in gnome    gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces      but for syntax, I already explained maybe to look at the man page first
[03:15] <Xubuntakis> without reinstalling xubuntu
[03:15] <faemir> Pici, it was a dodgy IDE cable
[03:16] <genii> MK there may already be some samples commented out in the file itself, but the manpage has better info
[03:17] <MK> man what ?
[03:17] <MK> what manual page ?
[03:17] <genii> MK man interfaces
[03:17] <Pici> faemir: Ahh....

[03:22] <howlingmadhowi1> pascal80: i think you want to keep de4x5 in /etc/modules. they're are the modules which are loaded during booting.
[03:22] <||OPM||> o_O
[03:22] <||OPM||> ...
[03:22] <genii> MK I will make a short sample and put it in the pastebin webite. then you can copy and paste it from there into your /etc/network/interfaces   file
[03:22] <||OPM||> can i ask for some help?
[03:22] <||OPM||> im installing and something has gone wrong
[03:22] <dazjorz> ||OPM||: Just ask your question, don't ask if you can

[03:22] <||OPM||> i am installing ubunutu using a live disc
[03:22] <pascal80> howlingmadhowi1: the problem is that de2104x gets loaded while it is blacklisted
[03:23] <genii> MK give me a few minutes, i am called away to do some work right now
[03:23] <||OPM||> and it ahs gotten up to the usb storage driver, and well, its been trying to load it for about 10 mins, it did it last time i tried to install to and then my power cut, the saftey switch flicked
[03:23] <MK> ok

[03:23] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:24] <m1r> what does eat more power for laptop , pcmcia or usb hdspa card ?
[03:24] <attunix> I don't understand free software that you have to pay for :  i mean if it's "free as in speech, but not as in beer"; it means the user paid for the source code and can do anything he wants with it, right? so couldn't he just give it away for free and make the original company lose money?
[03:24] <JonathanD> attunix: yes.
[03:24] <howlingmadhowi1> pascal80: yeah, i know. i just can't think of a way to stop it if blacklisting it isn't enough.
[03:24] <Hohlraum> does ubuntu still have a help feature that indexes system man pages for searching?
[03:24] <attunix> JonothanD: so there's no point in selling free software then.
[03:24] <Hohlraum> graphical
[03:24] <iNcrease> can anyone say me how i put a shortcut of "filesystem" onto my desktop...
[03:25] <pascal80> howlingmadhowi1: I just tried to remove de4x5 from /etc/modules to see what would happen, the dmesg does I sent you does not have it de4x5 loaded
[03:25] <||OPM||> o_O
[03:25] <pascal80> howlingmadhowi1: the dmesg I sent you does not have de4x5 loaded
[03:26] <howlingmadhowi1> pascal80: yeah, i saw that.
[03:26] <||OPM||> -_-
[03:27] <pascal80> howlingmadhowi1: does there exist another way to make sure only de4x5 gets loaded?
[03:27] <howlingmadhowi1> pascal80: i'm grasping at straws here. what does "cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | grep de2104" do?
[03:27] <WebGuest> ok OPM
[03:27] <m1r> what does eat more power from laptop , usb or pcmcia hsdpa card ?
[03:27] <WebGuest> so why don't you retry intsalling

[03:28] <||OPM||> this is the 3rd time i ahve tried to install it, and it still isnt working

[03:33] <murrayc> Jax: I am.
[03:33] <yaGrAn> i did but i didnt get answered? is this u botu supposed to say something to me?
[03:34] <Jax> murrayc somebody refered me to you regarding gettext...
[03:34] <lietu> yaGrAn: no, the bot has nothing to do with helping you
[03:34] <murrayc> OK. What's your question?
[03:34] <genii> Bah MK left
[03:34] <yaGrAn> how do i set up rEFIt and elilo together in order to boot Ubunto on an intel mac mini?
[03:34] <lietu> yaGrAn: the idea is that you ask the channel, and someone on the channel replies
[03:34] <yaGrAn> okies
[03:34] <zemonstas> hey, Evolution Mail just now started resetting Gnome and logging me in and out... it gets about as far as reading the first email in the list of new emails and then kills GNOME... help please!
[03:35] <Jax> murrayc i'm simply trying to create multiple .po files with xgettext when using dgettext('domain1', 'text'); dgettext('domain2', 'text') in some code. but it always just generates messages.po instead of domain1.po and domain2.po. i've tried everything and looked everywhere :(
[03:35] <zemonstas> at first i thought Compiz Fusion was doing it, but it still does it with no Compiz
[03:36] <Jax> seems impossible...
[03:37] <jorgerosa> hello
[03:37] <GiZiM> Howdy
[03:37] <jorgerosa> even, im in "iteam" project, i allways loved "Sensible Soccer" and "Football Glory" games,
[03:37] <jorgerosa> and i still cant find nothing similar to Linux :( So i resolved to create a project for this
[03:37] <jorgerosa> anyone wanna help? Thanks! iSoccer link: https://launchpad.net/jorgerosa
[03:37] <murrayc> Jax: In Glom we just provide the filename to po_file_write(): http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/glom/trunk/glom/translation/window_translations.cc?view=markup
[03:37] <kayzu> how do i get the desktop effects working? it says "the composite extension is not available"  (i have the latest nvidia driver (100.14.11) installed)
[03:38] <Pici> kayzu: Please ask in #ubuntu-effects
[03:38] <kayzu> Pici: ok, thanks
[03:38] <Pici> !offtopic | jorgerosa
[03:38] <ubotu> jorgerosa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:38] <_imran_> can anyone tell me how to make a .tar.gz file my theme???
[03:39] <zemonstas> hello? btw, whenever i've asked a question in here before it's like nobody can read what i'm saying... can anybody here read this or am I blocked or something?
[03:39] <Zambezi> What can caused this error? " HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Input/output error " It's mounted, it worked and suddenly it's not. And one other harddrive is affected with the same error.
[03:39] <yaGrAn> how do i display my partition table in terminal?
[03:39] <osxdude|down> I am downloading from a torrent now.
[03:39] <Jax> murrayc but you run xgettext over your sources to generate the message templates, yes?
[03:39] <Pici> Zambezi: We can see you. If no one knows the answer to your question, they wont answer.
[03:39] <jorgerosa> ubotu, Pici: Ok, sorry. Searching elsewhere. Thx.
[03:39] <Pici> yaGrAn: fdisk
[03:40] <murrayc> Jax: Yes, but I've only ever used one .po file for that.
[03:40] <yaGrAn> fdisk, just gives me a list of possible commands? ie. -k -r blah blah
[03:40] <sirdiego> yaGrAn: yeah then read the list an choose the ONE!
[03:41] <murrayc> Jax: I probably can't help you, but maybe the gnome-i18n mailing list can help, or maybe gettext has a mailing list
[03:41] <Jax> yeah because i have multiple domains in my code. i.e the GUI texts, and then some other texts which are independant of the GUI. so i'm using dgettext('GUI', 'Open File'); and then some other thing like dgettext('APP', 'Whatever'); and xgettext doesn't make seperate files, i.e it should make GUI.pot and APP.pot
[03:41] <Jax> hm ok, i'll see if i can get help on irc.gnome.org
[03:41] <sirdiego> yaGrAn: try it with fdisk /dev/hda or b or c whatever
[03:41] <alex_> how do i put a link "filesystem" onto my desktop?
[03:42] <yaGrAn> sirdiege: then how do i use those little -X things? fdisk -x ?
[03:42] <yaGrAn> okies
[03:43] <yaGrAn> sirdiego: i get no such file or directory?
[03:43] <lietu> yaGrAn: I guess you should try "sudo fdisk -l"
[03:43] <yaGrAn> lietu: thanks but i get illegal option --l
[03:44] <lietu> did you use --l or -l?
[03:44] <yaGrAn> im in osx terminal btw..
[03:44] <lietu> oh
[03:44] <GiZiM> Ok question - I have 2 monitors and when i run WOW with WINE the 2nd monitor shuts off and goes black which then allows the 1st monitor to go into full screen mode. Is there a way currently to allow both monitors to work at the same time? My Xorg.conf can be seen at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31546/
[03:44] <sirdiego> try sudo fdisk /dev/hda and than use p
[03:44] <lietu> well then I dont know, maybe you should check fdisk --help
[03:44] <yaGrAn> lietu i used -l
[03:45] <yaGrAn> if i do fdisk /dev/rdisk0 it says, permission denied
[03:46] <yaGrAn> ahhh got it sudo..
[03:46] <lietu> dunno about osx, but maybe sudo will help
[03:46] <anakao> hi all
[03:46] <Pici> alex_: To the filesystem?
[03:46] <yaGrAn> lietu: yeh it id :P, i said im new to all this. hehe
[03:46] <yaGrAn> *-thanks
[03:46] <anakao> do you manage to run compizfusion with a 6600GT nvidia ?
[03:46] <anakao> easily
[03:47] <Pici> anakao: Please ask in #ubuntu-effects, the compiz gurus are in there ;)
[03:47] <lietu> I ran beryl with 5200fx and compiz shouldn't require nearly as much
[03:47] <anakao> ok thx
[03:47] <alex_> Pici, i just want to add a link from the filesystem to desktop so i click there and enter the "filesystem"..
[03:47] <ando> hey
[03:48] <Pici> alex_: To the root of the filesystem?
[03:48] <alex_> Pici, just the whole partition..
[03:48] <xeous> if there was one brand of usb wifi dongle that had the best chance of working with ubuntu which would it be? I need to pick one up from bestbuy.
[03:48] <mahrellon> I get an error message when I start Firestarter as user. "Insufficient privileges"
[03:48] <attunix> Hi. I'm trying to install Pine, but I keep getting this error message:
[03:48] <attunix> $ sudo apt-get install pine
[03:48] <attunix> Reading package lists... Done
[03:48] <attunix> Building dependency tree
[03:48] <attunix> Reading state information... Done
[03:48] <attunix> Package pine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[03:48] <attunix> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[03:48] <attunix> is only available from another source
[03:49] <lietu> attunix: please dont paste that many lines at once
[03:49] <alex_> pici, nvmd got it :)
[03:49] <attunix> lietu: sorry
[03:49] <Pici> alex_: okay.
[03:49] <mgrignol1> Problem with notebook, I installed ubuntu 7.04 and the wi-fi is not actived, the board is atheros 5005
[03:49] <ando> can any one help me i have an urgent problem
[03:49] <attunix> lietu: i didnt think it would paste them all as lines; i'll use a pastebin next time
[03:49] <attunix> !question | ando
[03:49] <ubotu> ando: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:50] <SeveredCross> Anyone know what the heck controls the fans on a laptop generally?
[03:50] <ando> ok i inserted the ubuntu live CD, restarted and then started to install and then it failed so i removed the CD, and then restarted
[03:50] <Pici> SeveredCross: Either the BIOS or acpi
[03:50] <SeveredCross> I'd really like to be able to use i8kfan to set them without having the kernel or whatever reset them shortly after I set them.
[03:50] <tarvid> is there a music player like amarok for gnome
[03:50] <SeveredCross> ACPI doesn't see them...Must be the bloody BIOS, but it never did that under Linux.
[03:50] <Pici> tarvid: exaile
[03:50] <ando> however it goes straight to grub
[03:50] <ando> and it will not boot windows
[03:50] <attunix> tarvid: amarok
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> tarvid: exaile, but i don't think its near as good as amarok.
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> tarvid: why not just use amarok?
[03:51] <attunix> ando: while grub is booting,
[03:51] <ando> yes
[03:51] <tarvid> fear of getting attached to kde
[03:51] <attunix> ando: it should say "press esc to see list of OS's" or something like that
[03:51] <attunix> ando: press esc when it says so
[03:51] <MK> genii, are you there ?
[03:51] <attunix> ando: and use the arrow keys to select Windows
[03:51] <raf256> apache + php refuses to install on one of the computers
[03:51] <Pici> attunix: Well obviously Pine isnt available.  You could use Mutt instead.
[03:51] <attunix> Pici: what's mutt?
[03:52] <ando> ive tried that cause i just installed fedora and then removed the partitions through windows
[03:52] <Tomo_> just a quick one... can you put 'places' on the desktop as an icon?
[03:52] <Pici> attunix: Another cli mail client
[03:52] <attunix> Pici: ok. does it function like pine?
[03:52] <ando> however now it doesnt come up with a prompt for <esc>
[03:52] <Pici> attunix: I believe its similar.
[03:52] <attunix> Pici: ok. thanks
[03:53] <ukubuntu> QUESTION daughter has somehow removed the bottom panel with open apps on. How do I get it back?
[03:53] <tarvid> amarok brings in 23 files
[03:53] <Zambezi> What can caused this error? " HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Input/output error " It's mounted, it worked and suddenly it's not. And one other harddrive is affected with the same error on the same channel on the controllercard. But the other channel works.
[03:53] <zyth> ukubuntu, right click the top panel, new panel.
[03:53] <ukubuntu> ok zyth
[03:53] <genii> MK Yup
[03:53] <Pici> ukubuntu: Add a new panel, then add the workplace switcher and window list applets to it.
[03:54] <Pici> raf256: Can you explain your question further.
[03:54] <Catoptromancy> heh
[03:54] <shadowmancer> hey guys
[03:54] <konj> hello
[03:54] <genii> MK OK, do you know what range of IP your network currently gets? eg: 192.168.0.X   or similar
[03:54] <giandrea> hello
[03:54] <shadowmancer> just curious, i got a friend that gave me .rar file which he broke up into 23 chunks, with no password
[03:54] <giandrea> where can I find out more about hosts, hostnames and dns?
[03:54] <shadowmancer> though it is requesting a password
[03:55] <konj> i need a little advice about booting ubunu in verbose mode, please.
[03:55] <ando> there is no option to hit escape
 it goes straight to gnu grub
 and then quotes "[minimal  BASH-like line editing is supported.............completions of a device/file name] "
[03:55] <lietu> shadowmancer: well if it's requesting a password, then it has a password ;)
[03:55] <shadowmancer> though i have read that is not the case
[03:55] <attunix> ando: what do you mean it goes to gnu grub?
[03:55] <attunix> ando: isn't windows on there? :S
[03:55] <blackjackel> does anyone in here have oblivion working under wine on ubuntu?
[03:55] <lietu> attunix: it goes on the grub shell
[03:55] <Pici> shadowmancer: Do you have unrar-nonfree installed?
[03:55] <lietu> I think
[03:55] <genii> konj: hit ESC when grub begins. Use e to edit the default boot line. Remove quiet from there.
[03:55] <ando> there is not option for windows or anything
[03:55] <moldy> which packages do i need to install to get gcc & friends so i can compile and install software?
[03:55] <ando> its all command line
[03:55] <shadowmancer> unrar-nonfree?
[03:56] <genii> moldy build-essential
[03:56] <moldy> genii: thx
[03:56] <genii> moldy np
[03:56] <ando> it says grub> and then the flickering dash
[03:56] <lietu> ando: if I could remember the 3-4 commands you need, I could tell you how to boot windows with that ;)
[03:56] <attunix> lietu: oh. I see
[03:56] <shadowmancer> i just downloaded using sudo apt-get install rar
[03:56] <ukubuntu> Thank you zyth and Pici, I was at a loss without you :)
[03:56] <Pici> shadowmancer: Yes, the unrar-nonfree package.  I'm not sure if the regular unrar package lets you unrar multi-part rar files.
[03:56] <lietu> also aint got a dualboot system to check from my /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:56] <attunix> ando: sorry i cant help u then
[03:56] <zyth> ukubuntu, np :)
[03:56] <Tu13es> bleh, having some issues with my macbook, if anyone can help i'd appreciate it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=511017
[03:56] <shadowmancer> k
[03:56] <shadowmancer> how do i get it
[03:56] <ando> attunix: is there any one else that could help me?
[03:57] <Pici> !unrar | shadowmancer
[03:57] <MK> could anybody help me how to configure a static ip address in ubuntu ?
[03:57] <ubotu> shadowmancer: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[03:57] <Pici> shadowmancer: sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree
[03:57] <lietu> MK: iirc, ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
[03:57] <lietu> MK: well, that is a quick&dirty way to do it, I guess there's a network configuration applet for that
[03:57] <MK> yep genii
[03:57] <MK> what next?
[03:58] <ando> !join #kubuntu
[03:58] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about join #kubuntu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:58] <osxdude|downstai> !kubuntu

[03:58] <raf256> Pici: how the hell can I install apache and php
[03:58] <raf256> Pici: it worked on 4 boxes but didnt worked on one
[03:58] <ando> join #kubuntu
[03:58] <raf256> Pici: and noone is albe to help in last several days
[03:58] <Pici> raf256: Are you getting errors?

[03:59] <raf256> Pici: apache runs, but php files are downloaded instead interpreted
[03:59] <ando> pici: thanks
[03:59] <Pici> raf256: Are you sure that you have php installed?
[03:59] <MK> lietu, i think thats not permanent
[03:59] <raf256> Pici: yes
[03:59] <raf256> Pici: we did
[03:59] <raf256>  apt-get install apache2  php5  libapache2-mod-php5   mysql-server-5.0   mysql-client-5.0   php5-mysql
[04:00] <raf256> on 3 boxes it worked afair, on 1 it dont work
[04:00] <raf256> apache works but .php are downloaded
[04:00] <Jax> thanks anyway murrayc!
[04:00] <genii> MK so it is a zero for third number? OK, so i will give you a link to a pastebin site, copy what is there and replace your entry for eth0 in the file /etc/network/interfaces with that. Then where in the paste it has XXX replace that with the IP number you want for the end.
[04:00] <konj> ..but is it there a way to switch with a key to verbose mode without editing grub, like in PClinuxOS?
[04:00] <genii> MK when you edit the file remember it is: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[04:00] <Jax> guess i'm goin to have to grep/sed my files before i pass them to xgettext, and just do a pass for one domain, and another one for the other domain...
[04:00] <lietu> MK: yeah, try System->Administration->Network in the top menus
[04:00] <Pici> raf256: Have you tried taking a diff of an apache2.conf file on one of the working hosts versus the one that isnt working.
[04:01] <IntuitiveNipple> raf256: Have you done a manual GET request to the problem server, to see what mime-type it reports for the PHP page?
[04:01] <raf256> one second,
[04:01] <raf256> but why?
[04:01] <raf256> it should JUST WORK no?
[04:01] <lietu> MK: you should see "wired connection", click on that, then properties, choose static ip address, type in what you want
[04:01] <raf256> the instll was not customized nor anything
[04:01] <raf256> if it fails to work by default then its a bug?
[04:01] <dyrne> konj: you mean like removing quiet splash?
[04:01] <IntuitiveNipple> You've installed a web-site right?
[04:02] <raf256> how to reinstall apache+php totally cleanly from start?
[04:02] <genii> lietu: I was giving him the generalised solution since not currently on Gnome :)
[04:02] <raf256> IntuitiveNipple: yes, a file foo.php is downloaded instead interpreted
[04:02] <lietu> genii: oh, I failed to read that ;)
[04:02] <lietu> genii: or did you mean you're not on gnome? ;)
[04:02] <howlingmadhowi1> raf256: if you're trying to install software at the moment, ubuntu.org is currently down, so it may not work
[04:02] <IntuitiveNipple> raf256: so the site has its own apache configuration directives, I'd check those, and also, I'd be reading the /var/log/apache logs
[04:03] <shadowmancer> thanks guys
[04:03] <shadowmancer> it works
[04:03] <genii> lietu Yes, I am on KDE right now. He is on Gnome, I think
[04:03] <shadowmancer> yay
[04:03] <shadowmancer> MATRIX RELOADED
[04:03] <lietu> genii: ah, right ;)
[04:03] <shadowmancer> thanks Pici and Ubotu
[04:03] <LarryAU> anyone got raid45 working on Feisty ???
[04:03] <raf256> back in a second
[04:03] <MK> LiEtu its wireless connection
[04:04] <genii> MK: lietu is giving you the Gnome-specific way which should work as well.
[04:04] <IntuitiveNipple> raf256: Have you tried putting a test "info.php" in the web-server's default home, rather than in the specific site, to see if it is a server or site problem?
[04:04] <raf256> IntuitiveNipple: yes, that file is also downloaded
[04:04] <shadowmancer> i meant revolution
[04:04] <lietu> MK: well if it's listed in the network settings, choose that ;) I think... no experience with wireless connections here
[04:05] <MK> huum ok
[04:05] <MK> ill try that then
[04:05] <MK> thanks genii lietu but g2g now
[04:05] <MK> tks
[04:06] <ConstyXI1> anyone running ubuntu on a dell XPS M1210?

[04:06] <L0cKn> bye all **
[04:06] <LarryAU> anyone got raid45 working on Feisty ???
[04:06] <IntuitiveNipple> raf256: And have you checked that the two php links are in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled?
[04:06] <shadowmancer> i have been trying for a while to access them
[04:06] <shadowmancer> but i either get a Forbidden from the main
[04:06] <IntuitiveNipple> (php5.load and php5.conf)
[04:06] <shadowmancer> or it simply times out
[04:07] <netyire> hello, anyone here can help me with deleting files from .Trash please? typing sudo rm -rf * in the .Trash folder states things like: rm: cannot remove `edit/proc/18621/oom_adj': Permission denied, sudo chmod 777 -R * states things like: chmod: changing permissions of `edit/proc/18622/oom_adj': Operation not permitted, any ideas?
[04:07] <shadowmancer> netyire: are you as root
[04:07] <SirBob1701> some of you might find it useful to know that if you put nosplash instead of splash in /boot/grub/menu.list  when you boot up you can go to tty1 and view all processes starting up then and while you login to gnome
[04:07] <Pici> netyire: Why do you have proc stuff in your trash?
[04:08] <ConstyXI1> netyire: try lsof foo, foo being the file you want gone
[04:08] <howlingmadhowi1> SirBob1701: alternatively, just press Alt+F1 during booting
[04:08] <netyire> Pici: did some livecd iso customization :D, if I'm not wrong
[04:08] <LarryAU> anyone got raid45 working on Feisty ???
[04:08] <genii> howlingmadhowi1: Yeah thats what i normally do. Or during text installs alt-f4
[04:09] <netyire> ConstyXI1: any recursive - ?
[04:09] <SirBob1701> howlingmadhowi1: i did not know that.  i tried finding something like that out yesterday and no one knew thank you for that info
[04:09] <berent> !nosplash
[04:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nosplash - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:09] <ConstyXI1> netyire: ??
[04:09] <howlingmadhowi1> SirBob1701: don't mention it :) the main problem is the 'quiet' flag. it really restricts the amount of information displayed
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> !splash | berent

[04:10] <SirBob1701> howlingmadhowi1: really?  i'll have to check it out cuase my gnome login is really slow
[04:10] <Pici> SirBob1701: It only affects booting, not login.

[04:17] <ando> (hd0,1)
[04:17] <lietu> (hd0,1) is not the first partition

[04:22] <attunix> lietu: i can't; i'm in recovery mode :P Commandline!!!
[04:22] <Sypher> guys, where does sudo goes to check wether a user can or not use sudo ? :(
[04:22] <attunix> :D
[04:22] <Sypher> attunix, me too me too :D :D :D
[04:22] <lietu> ando: if you dont plan on trying to reinstall ubuntu, you should propably try to fix your "MBR", you can do that(with windows xp) using the install cd, getting on the recovery console and running fixmbr and fixboot ;)
[04:22] <ConstyXIV> lietu: sudo apt get install links2
[04:23] <ConstyXIV> attunix: sudo apt-get install links2
[04:23] <Pici> Sypher: /etc/sudoers
[04:23] <ConstyXIV> sorry lietu
[04:23] <lietu> np
[04:23] <attunix> thanks for the cli games
[04:23] <Sypher> ah its the admin group then

[04:23] <z00m> anyone know much about bridging connection in ubuntu ?
[04:23] <Sypher> ok ... last question. how do the hell i edit a file in recovery mode? :P
[04:24] <ConstyXIV> Sypher: nano
[04:24] <Pici> Sypher: use visudo to edit the sudoers file
[04:24] <Some_Person> Is there any way I can see a list of most recently installed packages?
[04:24] <mrsno> Some_Person yes you can view the log in /var/log/dpkg or /var/log/synaptic iirc
[04:24] <ConstyXIV> Sypher: or vim if you a) know how to use it, or b) are brave
[04:24] <Sypher> ConstyXIV, Pici, Error opening terminal: bterm
[04:24] <z00m> albacker you there ?
[04:25] <Sypher> nano, visudo returns me that error. vim simply dosnt work.
[04:25] <attunix> i installed bsdgames; how do i use it?
[04:25] <genii> Some_Person: Also for fast what i do is ls the stuff in /var/cache/apt/archives by date
[04:25] <jonathan__> hello
[04:25] <Pici> attunix: each game is a seperate executable
[04:25] <ConstyXIV> attunix: it's a bunch of different games, apt-cache show bsgdames for a list
[04:25] <attunix> ConstyXIV: thanks
[04:26] <Some_Person> mrsno: those files don't exist
[04:26] <Pici> Sypher: Was your system compromised? Sounds like something fishy is going on
[04:26] <z00m> >> needs some help bridging ath0 internet connection with eth0, can anyone give me some help here please ?
[04:26] <Sypher> Pici, nope, its working good
[04:26] <Sypher> but i changed my usergroup to something else
[04:26] <Sypher> started the recovery, and here we go, im in this situation. -.-
[04:26] <mrsno> Some_Person sorry im not 100% sure off the top of my head, but maybe its /var/log/aptitude
[04:27] <Pici> Sypher: Did you take yourself out of the admin group?
[04:27] <Some_Person> mrsno: again, doesn't exist
[04:27] <Sypher> Pici, yes
[04:27] <Sypher> :D
[04:27] <z00m> 0_O take it no one knows how too : /
[04:27] <mrsno> Some_Person 2 ticks, let me check in my virtual machine :)
[04:28] <Some_Person> mrsno: thank you
[04:28] <Sypher> adding username ALL(ALL) ALL
[04:28] <Sypher> to the sudoers file
[04:28] <Sypher> might do the trick ?
[04:28] <Pici> Sypher: or just adding your user to the admin group (I think)
[04:28] <iDN> hi everybody
[04:29] <rickympl> trying to get shh to connect throu jap anonymizer, added: ProxyCommand connect -H localhost:4001 %h %p, but i keep geting an error:FATAL: failed to begin relaying via HTTP, and ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host, any ideas?
[04:30] <ConstyXIV> does anyone know of some sort of bluetooth-stereo dongle that works on ubuntu? (sound to stereo system via bluetooth)
[04:30] <iDN> does anybody have an idea where i can find the A/52 codec download? i know it's included in gstream "ugly" pack, but unfortunately the video still not working after i installed the pack.
[04:30] <saxin> what do I put in smb.conf to make sure users dont need to type users/passwords to browse shared files on my ubuntu computer at my LAN.
[04:30] <skyion> anyone know anything about bayes?
[04:30] <mrsno> Some_Person i have /var/log/aptitude and /var/log/dpkg.log here
[04:31] <Some_Person> mrsno: i have the 2nd one, thank you
[04:32] <mrsno> your welcome
[04:32] <mrsno> Some_Person if you install files through apt-get or synaptic, then it will write to dpkg.log (they all use dpkg to install files)
[04:32] <Some_Person> mrsno: what about from source code?
[04:32] <mrsno> aptitude is another tool and i think it writes to dpkg.log as well, as well as /var/log/aptitude so if you haven't used aptitude, that would explain it
[04:33] <wert> were can i find mp3 codec
[04:33] <mrsno> Some_Person depends how you installed from source code, did you create a .deb file and thus install with dpkg?
[04:33] <Pici> !mp3 | wert

[04:33] <Lattyware> Hey all, I'm having a problem. I'm trying to install the nVidia drivers into a fresh install of Gutsy tribe 3 (pretty sure Gutsy has nothing to do with it), and I'm getting this error:  No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:4:0:0) found - despite the fact I added a device section with that BusID. (I have two graphics cards)
[04:34] <Enselic> I'd like to rebuild libgtk2.0-0, I am used to building software, so I am only wondering where I can find docs on how to do that properly?
[04:34] <mrsno> Some_Person then unfortunately the log files mentioned will have no record of installing those packages, as you must have manually make/make install'd them
[04:34] <Some_Person> mrsno: oh well
[04:34] <mrsno> Some_Person you could check "history" to see your terminal commands and check from that
[04:34] <||OPM||> hi, im back, i checked the disc like i cna when i boot, but it is still getting stuck on Loading module 'usb-storage' for 'USB storage' ...

[04:35] <sudeep> how to install xyz.bin package
[04:36] <||OPM||> oh, and thats me trying to install it by the way
[04:36] <||OPM||> using a live dix
[04:36] <||OPM||> disc*
[04:37] <||OPM||> so any ideas?
[04:37] <Pici> ||OPM||: Have you tried using the alternate disk?
[04:38] <sudeep> how to install *.bin files
[04:38] <Pici> sudeep: `chmod +x xyz.bin` `sudo ./xyz.bin`
[04:38] <||OPM||> no i havnt, but i dont see how that would make a difference as it would still be burning the same iso ifle
[04:38] <||OPM||> file*
[04:38] <Sypher> Pici, solved thanks :P
[04:39] <||OPM||> but i shall try again 2moro
[04:39] <||OPM||> its too late to do anything more
[04:39] <Pici> ||OPM||: Uh. The LiveCD and the Alternate CD are different isos. Plus the Alternate solves issues of hardware incompatible with the liveCD
[04:40] <sudeep> is there any possible way to convert *.bin files to *.deb
[04:41] <lietu> sudeep: there's no universal way to do that
[04:42] <Pici> sudeep: checkinstall *might* be able to do it for that bin file.
[04:42] <massctrl> Hi all, is there a good source to get openvz templates for ubuntu 7.04 ?

[04:44] <fipo> does anyone know how to setup amorak with an soundblaster live?
[04:44] <lietu> fipo: are you having general problems with sound? or only with amarok?
[04:45] <malocite> whats the difference between Xorg and Xfree
[04:45] <malocite> whats the difference between Xorg and Xfree86
[04:45] <lietu> malocite: they split a "while" back because of some licencing issues or something
[04:45] <malocite> ok, so it is different
[04:45] <malocite> I"m new :)
[04:46] <Andeh> Is there a md5 cracker package for ubuntu?
[04:46] <howlingmadhowi1> Andeh: cracker?
[04:46] <lietu> yeah, it's different, but I doubt it's THAT different yet
[04:46] <Andeh> I tried compiling Rainbow crack but the source code had loads of errors
[04:46] <Andeh> err yes
[04:46] <Andeh> I have a punbb forum and I can't remember the admin password
[04:46] <Andeh> They're stored in md5
[04:46] <lietu> then reset it?
[04:47] <Pici> adam: Have you tried searching the repositories for md5?  I see an crack-md5 program right here.
[04:47] <Andeh> lietu: Yes but that would be too easy
[04:47] <Skrypt> What a good program in Ubuntu to program C++ in?
[04:47] <lietu> overwrite the value with an md5 you know
[04:47] <Andeh> I'm wondering how secure the forum and password is
[04:47] <Skrypt> what is* sorry
[04:47] <ziroday> Andeh: cracking isnt endorsed here it #ubuntu
[04:47] <blackjackel> anyone know wanything about tv capture card linux compatibility?
[04:47] <huntteri_> lol
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> !c++ | Skrypt
[04:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about c++ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:47] <Andeh> Yay thanks a lot >_>
[04:48] <lietu> Skrypt: in linux world c++ etc work simple: you make a .cpp file with your favorite editor and then use gcc to compile it
[04:48] <Skrypt> Text editor?
[04:48] <Skrypt> aright.
[04:48] <Skrypt> thanks. :)
[04:49] <lietu> or g++
[04:49] <lietu> generally: g++ -o executable source.cpp
[04:49] <Skrypt> !compile

[04:52] <NaT> why isnt there a Missisippi users group?

[04:53] <PiNE> hi.  i just purchased a new notebook (thinkpad t61) and i am ready to load ubuntu on it but i get this "can't access the tty; job control turned off" whenever i try to boot the cd.  does anyone know what this means or how i get the cd to load?
[04:54] <alan8r> i've got a quick one for you guys
[04:55] <alan8r> when i boot up, my alternate hard-drive automatically mounts (it's my windows drive) and i'd like it to not be mounted until i say so. how do i fix it?
[04:56] <ankitag> alan8r: you can change the entry in /etc/fstab
[04:56] <alan8r> ankitag: do i just sudo in with any text editor?
[04:56] <ankitag> yes, that would be fine
[04:56] <bulmer> alan8r: what do you mean by alternate hard-drive?
[04:56] <alan8r> alright, thanks much mate
[04:57] <ankitag> alan8r: make sure you are sure about the entry you are touching
[04:57] <pascal80> I just set up a custom Ubuntu installation with icewm, how can I change the default menu font? It is too big and hinted

[04:57] <_imran_> ubuntu wont let me launch .exe files...can someone help me?
[04:57] <Catoptromancy_>  _imran_  wine
[04:57] <pawan> hi
[04:57] <_imran_> it says 'Cannot open /media/Imran's Harddrive/NWN/nwn.exe: No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file.'
[04:57] <alan8r> ankitag: will do. triple check and all that
[04:57] <gordonjcp> _imran_: ubuntu doesn't run .exe files
[04:57] <Catoptromancy_> !wine
[04:57] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:58] <NaT> .exe is a windows executable file
[04:58] <PiNE> dyrne: i'll check that out, thanks.
[04:58] <_imran_> gordonjcp, do i need to install wine?
[04:58] <binary010> Hey all
[04:58] <gordonjcp> _imran_: yes
[04:58] <RaptorQuest> Is there any way to recover the root password other than re-installation?
[04:58] <alan8r> ankitag: will there be any problems if that's where grub is?
[04:58] <moldy> does ubuntu include libHX? if yes, what is it called?
[04:58] <alan8r> ankitag: or will it still boot just fine?
[04:58] <Pici> RaptorQuest: Ubuntu doesnt use a root password by default.
[04:58] <binary010> quick question ubuntu 7.04 destop live cd does it run XORG or xf86 server ?
[04:58] <Pici> binary010: X.org
[04:59] <Laibsch> Does ubuntu have a compiled kernel available where NFS is in the kernel itself and not a module?
[04:59] <alan8r> i believe is Xorg
[04:59] <pawan> any new screensaver for ubuntu
[04:59] <binary010> Pici: sweet thanx
[04:59] <ankitag> alan8r: the grub is in MBR, the other partitions are mounted at the boot up
[04:59] <gordonjcp> moldy: what's libHX?
[04:59] <ankitag> so grub will not be affected
[04:59] <Pici> pawan: Search the repositories for screenaver there are a few
[04:59] <RaptorQuest> It certainly wants something before I can invoke root privileges
[04:59] <alan8r> ankitag: in fstab, does commenting out the line do the trick?
[04:59] <anakao> please the channel for compiz fusion?
[04:59] <Pici> !root | RaptorQuest
[04:59] <ubotu> RaptorQuest: 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
[04:59] <anakao> thx
[04:59] <moldy> gordonjcp: i don't know :) i am trying to compile pam_mount, which requires it
[04:59] <Pici> anakao: #ubuntu-effects or #compizfusion

[05:07] <Pici> kaushal: To apply? I dont know.  There are many ubuntu mailing lists however.
[05:07] <Jack_Sparrow> geronimo`: You might want to burn those to a disk so you dont need to dl again in the future
[05:07] <kaushal> ok
[05:08] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: Really no need to do that unless you have a very slow connection. And even then I'm not sure theres really a good arguement to do so.
[05:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici: Sure there is.. multiple installs on different pc's
[05:09] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: Perhaps, I think theres a tool somewhere to help you do that.

[05:12] <Jack_Sparrow> ConstyXIV: They work fine fo me.. but it is up to you..
[05:12] <alex_> okay, how I show the list of users in the channel on the right? it was there before I think
[05:12] <Jack_Sparrow> ConstyXIV: when you had to use ndiswrapper.. I agree.. it was not as clean
[05:13] <ConstyXIV> the bcm43xx didn't work on my last laptop's broadcom chip
[05:13] <ConstyXIV> intel wi-fi is flawless though, right?
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> ConstyXIV: Big improvements
[05:14] <C_> hello all
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> ConstyXIV: Never used one
[05:14] <jacobat> Hello all, I'm trying to get a harddisk based installation going per the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/ch05s01.html#boot-initrd - and I do get the kernel booting but it stops at "USB HID core driver" then nothing happens, any ideas?
[05:15] <C_> can some one tell me a good place to find help with beryl ?
[05:15] <radioman> google? ;}
[05:15] <kaushal> Hi
[05:16] <Ranpha1> grr windows screwed up my usb stick. the space is there but no file not even in linux, which program is best to fix this?
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> c_ ubuntu-effects
[05:16] <genii> jacobat: Use ps2 mouse and keyboard if you have usb ones plugged in til it gets installed
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Ranpha1: What was the format on the usb before the problem
[05:16] <ConstyXIV> is there any real bonus (speed, system load, battery life) to using a processor with VM extensions?
[05:17] <YoG_> Hi, I'd like to use ubuntu only with tvout - no monitor connected, can someone help me please?
[05:17] <Ranpha1> Jack_Sparrow fat32
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Ranpha1: Do you have a windows install available
[05:17] <Some_Person> What'll be new in Gutsy?
[05:17] <Ranpha1> Jack_Sparrow yep
[05:17] <jacobat> genii: My keyboard works, I can browse the kernel information, it just doesn't get any further
[05:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Ranpha1: There are some decent partition repair tools for that partition type.
[05:18] <ConstyXIV> YoG_: I'd find the MythTV chatroom, they'd probably know more about that sort of thing
[05:18] <jacobat> I guess I'm on a wrong track anyways as there's no where the installer can get files from
[05:18] <Ranpha1> Jack_Sparrow on one that is free and opensource?
[05:18] <genii> jacobat: Possibly you have some USB controller chip it doesn't recognise is my next guess
[05:18] <YoG_> thanx ConstyXIV
[05:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Ranpha1: Free yes, open source.. not sure.
[05:19] <Ranpha1> Jack_Sparrow well free then .....
[05:19] <pascal80> How can I configure fontconfig to use another default font?
[05:19] <jacobat> What is the name of 7.04?
[05:19] <pascal80> jacobat: Feisty Fawn
[05:19] <jacobat> pascal80: Thanks
[05:19] <patrick_> help....
[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Ranpha1: Check this..  http://ubcd.sourceforge.net/
[05:20] <binary010> is ubuntu alternative = live cd ???
[05:20] <ConstyXIV> binary010: other way around
[05:20] <ConstyXIV> binary010: desktop cd is live cd
[05:20] <genii> binary010: No
[05:20] <binary010> ConstyXIV: got it thanx
[05:20] <patrick_> My Amarok doesn't detect my iPod.....
[05:20] <Pici> binary010: no. The Alternate and LiveCDs are two different cds/isos
[05:20] <genii> except for memtest
[05:20] <Ranpha1> Jack_Sparrow one moment restart wa in knoppix
[05:20] <alex_> I don't suppose someone here knows how to change AIGLX rendering to XGL?
[05:20] <AaronMT> !ask | patrick_
[05:20] <ubotu> patrick_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:21] <ConstyXIV> but everything has memtest
[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Ranpha1: k
[05:21] <jacobat> Is it possible to install ubuntu over an existing linux installation without having to burn a cd or do a network installation?
[05:21] <ConstyXIV> i'd venture to say every non-windows x86 bootable cd has memtest86+ on it
[05:21] <AaronMT> patrick_ have you tried Rhythmbox
[05:22] <ConstyXIV> jacobat: not to my knowledge
[05:22] <jacobat> I guess not
[05:22] <lutz_> tud valaki magyarul?
[05:22] <cryptovenom> Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day
[05:22] <alex_> Vista has a memtest now, but it ain't memtest86
[05:22] <patrick_> Can  you help me get Amarok to detect my iPod....and how would I do it if you know how to?
[05:22] <ConstyXIV> patrick_: dunno about amarok, but banshee does an execellent job with iPods
[05:22] <ConstyXIV> and it's gtk to boot
[05:22] <alex_> It's just like them though.  They steal an idea and make there own propeitary software and tell the world how they invented it.
[05:23] <Ranpha1> Jack_Sparrow &*(#&*(&$(&$ my firefox was on that usb stick i totally forgot ...grr lol
[05:23] <alex_> I don't suppose someone here knows how to change AIGLX rendering to XGL?
[05:24] <mroc> anyone know if there's a reason the nvidia-glx package uses the 9631 driver and not the newer 9639?  Also, is there a repo that has this or should i just use nvidia's installer?
[05:24] <xuanfei> my friend
[05:25] <xuanfei> help me http://linux.chinaunix.net/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=904699&page=1&extra=page%3D1#pid6375837
[05:25] <ConstyXIV> alex_: i doubt microsoft could claim they invented the memory test
[05:25] <xuanfei> see the quetion http://linux.chinaunix.net/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=904699&page=1&extra=page%3D1#pid6375837
[05:25] <roger> can the synaptic package manager be installed stand alone without ubuntu-desktop ?
[05:25] <alex_> mroc, bugs, that's why.  Will not go mainstream until proven it's stable.
[05:25] <xuanfei> i am so huryy
[05:25] <ConstyXIV> roger: yes IIRC
[05:25] <_imran_> how do i launch a .exe file?
[05:26] <ConstyXIV> _imran_: install wine
[05:26] <xuanfei> 
[05:26] <_imran_> ConstyXIV, i have wine
[05:26] <Cromag> !cn
[05:26] <ubotu> For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[05:26] <roger> ConstyXIV, do you know its package name so i can install it with apt-get ?
[05:26] <xuanfei> 
[05:26] <alex_> ConstyXIV, yeah, but if nothing else they would claim that there memtest is better.
[05:26] <MrTsunami> _imran_: wine *.exe
[05:26] <ConstyXIV> _imran_: wine foo.exe
[05:26] <mroc> alex_: ok.  thanks.  do you happen to know if they're switching it in gutsy?
[05:26] <ConstyXIV> ConstyXIV: should just be synaptic
[05:27] <ConstyXIV> roger: sudo apt-get install synaptic
[05:27] <roger> _imran_, another option is virtualbox which allows you to run windows on linux in its own window
[05:27] <roger> thankyou ConstyXIV
[05:27] <_imran_> roger, i'd rather use wine
[05:27] <alex_> mroc, I don't touch gutsy, I like being uptodate aned playing with new/beta software, but not on my main PC.... It's just got to work you know.

[05:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about festival - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[05:28] <alex_> How many here are running an ATI 9550 (or simular)?
[05:28] <WaxyFresh> i just installed festival,now how do i use it?
[05:28] <mroc> alex_:  absolutely.   ok, thanks.
[05:28] <_imran_> ConstyXIV, setting what up?
[05:28] <lutz_> magyar server?
[05:29] <_imran_> how do i launch a .exe file using wine?

[05:29] <ConstyXIV> _imran_: from a command line, wine foo.exe
[05:29] <WaxyFresh> _imran_: right click open with wine
[05:29] <Jack_Sparrow> _imran_: #winehq has lots of help on using wine
[05:29] <ConstyXIV> or what WaxyFresh said
[05:30] <WaxyFresh> does festival have a irc channel?
[05:30] <Jack_Sparrow> WaxyFresh: Never heard of it.. is it from the repos?
[05:30] <roger> fluxbox and ubuntu
[05:30] <ziroday> WaxyFresh: speech recognition?
[05:30] <WaxyFresh> Jack_Sparrow: yeah it is
[05:30] <ziroday> WaxyFresh: or speaking
[05:30] <ttt-> what is the easiest ftp server i can download?
[05:31] <WaxyFresh> ziroday: i need text to speach
[05:31] <ConstyXIV> ttt-: ??????
[05:31] <ziroday> what program>
[05:31] <ttt-> easy to use
[05:31] <vicentecarro>  A lot of files are called "index.html?type=getBin&file=NAME.EXTENSION" in a certain folder. How can i rename them to just "NAME.EXTENSION"?
[05:31] <WaxyFresh> ziroday: thats what festival does right?
[05:32] <ConstyXIV> ttt-: oh, you mean software, not a server.  i believe proftpd is popular, but i don't think "easy" is how you describe it
[05:32] <Pici> !ftpd > ttt- (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[05:32] <WaxyFresh> is there anyway to get gaim to stop showing when people enter/exit?
[05:32] <_imran_> WaxyFresh, it does not give me the option of selecting wine under the applications list
[05:33] <swmiller6>  _imran_: Click custom then type wine
[05:33] <bimmelim> anyone know where nfs logfiles are located?
[05:33] <ziroday> WaxyFresh: yeah
[05:33] <ConstyXIV> _imran_: open with, should be an option to manually put in a app, type "wine" sans quotes in there
[05:33] <ttt-> thanks
[05:33] <_imran_> thanks ConstyXIV and swmiller6
[05:34] <Semilios> hi
[05:34] <Semilios> When creating a backup of /home  -   should I  create a  *.tar  or a  *.tar.gz   or  a  *bz2  made out of a *.tar  or a   *.bz2  made out of a *.tar.gz  ?
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Semilios: either is fine
[05:35] <Some_Person> There was a game that came with Ubuntu 5.10 that I want to play again, only I don't remeber what it's called.
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Semilios: I use tar.gz myself
[05:35] <bimmelim> nfs server says connection refused when I try to mount. Both server and client run ubuntu and have same user/passw.
[05:35] <Semilios> Jack_Sparrow, which one saved most space and does not disturb any data?
[05:35] <bimmelim> what am I doing wrong here?
[05:35] <ConstyXIV> Semilios: i think tar.bz2 has better compression
[05:35] <Some_Person> What games were included in Ubuntu 5.10?
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Semilios: I agree bz2 has better compression
[05:35] <PriceChild> Some_Person, describe it
[05:36] <kazim59> hello everyone
[05:36] <PriceChild> Some_Person, and I think the same as dapper & edgy
[05:36] <vikku> how can i have my ubuntu recognize/mount during boot time the hda whihc is running windows
[05:36] <Some_Person> PriceChild: it had something to do with going through a tunnel
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> Semilios: Ok, everyone.. guess that game..
[05:36] <Semilios> so   bz2  out of  *.tar  or out out *.tar.gz ?
[05:36] <ConstyXIV> Some_Person: i believe all the stock games from 5.10 are in 7.04
[05:36] <bimmelim> anyone know where nfs logfiles are located?
[05:36] <Some_Person> ConstyXIV: obviously not
[05:36] <orbisvicis> i used gtk-theme-switch2 to change gtk theme ... now it wont change back and my gui is a mix between gtk2 themes ?
[05:36] <Jack_Sparrow> !backup
[05:36] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[05:36] <orbisvicis> any takers ?
[05:36] <PriceChild> ConstyXIV, No I think Gnome changed the default games in feisty... having sudoku for example
[05:36] <williams> hello...I need some help with getting a canon printer to work, can anyone assist or direct me where to go for assistance?
[05:37] <Dezine> Anytime I use "apt-get install" I get a error ... X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169 .. Major opcode:  147 ..  Minor opcode:  3 ..  Resource id:  0x0 .. and other stuff like "failed to open device" but it seems to install stuff correctly. Any ideas what the error is all about?
[05:37] <kazim59> I want my Sony camcorder DCR-HC40E to work with my ubuntu (the memory stick)... I found that it works at many places on the net.. but how do I make it work?
[05:37] <PriceChild> ConstyXIV, might be wrong :)
[05:37] <ConstyXIV> PriceChild: i know they put more in, but i think all of them from 5.10 are still there
[05:37] <Asathoor> how can I combine two directories in order to gain space?
[05:37] <badders> Smilios: There is no point doing .tar.gz -> tar.bz2, either do tar.gz (it will be bigger, but is quicker to compress) or a tar.bz2 (better compression, usually takes longer to do), you wont get a smaller file by compressing it multiple times
[05:37] <PriceChild> ConstyXIV, ok
[05:37] <bimmelim> nfs server says connection refused when I try to mount. Both server and client run ubuntu and have same user/passw. What am I doing wrong?
[05:37] <Some_Person> PriceChild: I don't remember much about the game, although I do remember something about a tunnel or something
[05:37] <Jack_Sparrow> Williams.. good luck.. they are tough.. check the !hardware info
[05:37] <CaptainFrisbee> vikku: is your dual boot not working? Or do you just want to access an ntfs volume in ubuntu?
[05:38] <Some_Person> Is there a list of games that came with 5.10?
[05:38] <Asathoor> mythtv is eating space ... and i have an empty partition... so combining would be nice...
[05:38] <williams> I have been following the directions in the links from the Ubuntu forums....finally got it to test print, but anytime I print from any app it just goes into a Stopped: job-stopped state and never prints .. can't resume it either
[05:38] <vikku> ) CaptainFrisbee: the file system is fat32 and just that i want to browse and cp sertain files in it to hdc whihc is running ubuntu
[05:38] <Pici> Some_Person: You could try looking on packages.ubuntu.com
[05:39] <WaxyFresh> ziroday: so no advice on how to open a pdf with festival?
[05:39] <Some_Person> Pici: Yeah, but I don't know what did and didn't come with it initally
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> Some_Person: http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/games/
[05:39] <vikku>  CaptainFrisbee: dual boot is all fine
[05:40] <CaptainFrisbee> vikku: so the windows partition isn't automatically mounted?
[05:40] <Some_Person> Here it is, gnome-stones
[05:40] <chr> away
[05:40] <PriceChild> Some_Person, tunnel? :)
[05:40] <PriceChild> !away > chr
[05:41] <drew> would a usb 2.0 hard drive work on a 1.0 usb port?
[05:41] <PriceChild> drew, yes, but very slow transfer
[05:41] <drew> PriceChild, ok thats what i thought, thx
[05:41] <vikku> CaptainFrisbee: No :(
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> drew: YEs, but huge speed difference
[05:41] <kazim59> I connected my handycam through USB ... lsusb shows a device too.. where do I find it under /dev to mount it??
[05:42] <ConstyXIV> drew: for a comparison, my friend's ipod took 6 hours to sync over USB1
[05:42] <Some_Person> Only I dont see a download link
[05:42] <ConstyXIV> kazim: check dmesg | tail
[05:42] <PriceChild> Some_Person, packages.ubuntu.com
[05:42] <drew> ConstyXIV yea, i have 2.0 usb, but i need to unload some stuff onto a friends laptop that has 1.0 usb, was just making sure that it worked
[05:42] <ConstyXIV> kazim59: check dmesg | tail
[05:42] <drew> its a one time xfer dont care if it takes long.
[05:42] <Some_Person> PriceChild: It's only included in old versions of gnome-games
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> ConstyXIV: I looked at the speed diff, I was amazed.. colse to 20x difference
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> close
[05:42] <madman91> does 64bit ubuntu work on 64bit macs?
[05:43] <noishe> One have experience with a Matrox QID and Ubuntu?
[05:43] <kazim59> it shows little information ... says configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice.. and new high speed uhci_hd etc etc...
[05:43] <PriceChild> madman91, intel?
[05:43] <kazim59> doesn't show device name
[05:43] <ConstyXIV> madman91: powerpc or x86?
[05:43] <PriceChild> Some_Person, oh aren't they all in different packages, with one meta package?
[05:43] <roger> any idea why it appears i have less space on my desktop compared to the same resolution in windows ?
[05:43] <CaptainFrisbee> vikku: you can try something like: mount -t vfat /dev/hd?? /media/windows
[05:43] <madman91> ConstyXIV + PriceChild : the new macs.. I assume they are intel 64bit
[05:43] <madman91> ConstyXIV: not ppc
[05:43] <PriceChild> madman91, i thought they were 32bit...?
[05:44] <Some_Person> PriceChild: No
[05:44] <ConstyXIV> madman91: if it's a core2duo, yes, core1 duo, no
[05:44] <PriceChild> madman91, if you're sure its 64bit then yes :)
[05:44] <cyberphaz> anyone know a linux Cad  program that can handle dwg files?
[05:44] <Jack_Sparrow> roger: default icon sizes...
[05:44] <PriceChild> ahhhh the core2duos
[05:44] <Shoopuf> Anyone know the name of that notepad that goes into the Ubuntu panel that acts like a mini-Wiki? I am not running Ubuntu atm but need to know the name of that program. :P
[05:44] <kazim59> ConstyXIV: it doesn't show any device name...
[05:44] <madman91> ConstyXIV: core1duo?

[05:45] <ConstyXIV> Shoopuf: it's definitley tomboy, tomtom is a gps service
[05:45] <kazim59> ConstyXIV: is it possible that no device refers to it? lsusb shows Bus 003 Device 003: ID 054c:00c0 Sony Corp. Handycam DCR-30
[05:46] <ttt-> how do i start up a ftp server with the current ubuntu users as logins? i cant figure it out
[05:46] <ConstyXIV> it's possible, i dont work with cams in linux.  try the forums
[05:46] <CaptainFrisbee> vikku: could you show your /etc/fstab config?
[05:46] <Shoopuf> ConstyXIV: Tomboy, OK :) I'll google that, thanks... I love that program.
[05:47] <dyrne> ttt-: id recommend using ssh and sftp or scp
[05:47] <Jack_Sparrow> bransh: Yes, please ask your question
[05:47] <dyrne> ttt-: but which ftp server?
[05:47] <irro94> cia a tti
[05:47] <vikku> CaptainFrisbee: yes .....i've have to boot my comp twice :(
[05:47] <bransh> ok... i want to make a net, i need that every host in the net log into the server, and not into the local host
[05:47] <vikku> CaptainFrisbee: hold on gimme 15 minutes
[05:47] <ConstyXIV> IMHO, Tomboy is the desktop (notebook really) Linux killer app
[05:47] <bransh> i;know that i can use NIS
[05:48] <ttt-> i dont care which one
[05:48] <irro94> ness1 ita?
[05:48] <bransh> but, what tool you recomend me
[05:48] <ttt-> oh dyrne: thanks
[05:48] <ttt-> sftp works
[05:48] <dyrne> ttt-: try sudo apt-get install pure-admin then it is a gui front end to pureftpd might make the setup easier for ya
[05:48] <madman91> ubuntu and other linux distros use x11.. correct? so what does apple's mac os x use? I heard of something called aqua? is there a way to use gui apps over ssh like with ssh -X and x11 ?
[05:48] <dyrne> ttt-: k nm
[05:49] <irro94> cia a tti
[05:49] <ConstyXIV> madman91: yes, it's aqua, but there's an X11 layer in tiger and up
[05:49] <PriceChild> madman91, we don't support macosx here... but i assume they'll have some sort of vpn as well
[05:49] <ConstyXIV> never used it though
[05:49] <irro94> o bastardiii
[05:49] <PriceChild> !it | irro94
[05:49] <ubotu> irro94: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[05:49] <madman91> ConstyXIV:  so i will be able to ssh -X mac.with.tiger and run gui :-) sweetness
[05:50] <madman91> PriceChild: i know you dont support mac :) I'm just curious
[05:50] <ConstyXIV> madman91: probably... i use vnc everywhere myself
[05:50] <kazim59> http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3864  the page says memory stick works... and just by using usb-storage module... how do i make it work for me?
[05:50] <burner> anyoen know if there are videos or audio of the ubuntu live conference anywhere?
[05:50] <madman91> ConstyXIV: thanks
[05:51] <ttt-> couldnt find package pure-admin
[05:51] <ConstyXIV> madman91: there's also something called NoMachine you might want to look into
[05:51] <amet> hi all
[05:51] <madman91> ConstyXIV: ill check it out, thanks again
[05:51] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: It should show up on your desktop when you plug it in.. what format is the stick?
[05:51] <howlingmadhowi1> burner: if you look on video.google.com you'll find some good videos of mark shuttleworth. it's probably the best place to look for videos of the last ubuntu live as well
[05:51] <malocite> Has anyone managed to get their ati tvout working in ubuntu  - this is the LAST thing I need to get working, and I have found nothing to help so far
[05:53] <burner> howlingmadhowi1: thanks, i'm off to google
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> malocite: is that a legacy ati or newer?
[05:53] <ConstyXIV> madman91: so you know, NoMachine is a combination of X11+SSH+some compression, cross-platform clients, works over 56k even
[05:53] <burner> howlingmadhowi1: oh yeah, i tried this...  http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=ubuntu+live+portland  doesn't really give me what I was hoping for ;)
[05:53] <kazim59> Jack_Sparrow: i don't know.. but its a Memory Stick Duo (SD)
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> malocite: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/TVout_for_legacy_ATI_cards_using_GATOS
[05:54] <madman91> ConstyXIV: i just read their page, and it looks like people at linux.com dont like it :)
[05:54] <malocite> jack_sparrow: Radeon 9000
[05:54] <Some_Person> i found an rpm for it
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: system admin gparted and see what it shows for your usb
[05:54] <ConstyXIV> madman91: i personally love it, but that's me
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> !rpm
[05:54] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[05:55] <malocite> jack_sparrow: Is that the gatos driver for xorg?
[05:55] <kazim59> Jack_Sparrow: let me see
[05:55] <car_watt> Hi all, I need to install something like a active directory but in ubuntu server
[05:55] <car_watt> any susgestions about that
[05:55] <Jack_Sparrow> malocite: Youknow as much as I do.
[05:55] <car_watt> 
[05:56] <malocite> Jack_sparrow: You must be pretty dumb than :)  It seems I know very little :)
[05:56] <howlingmadhowi1> burner: yeah. ubuntu live just returns with lots of videos about installing an ubuntu live cd
[05:56] <Jack_Sparrow> malocite: I was smart enough to GOOGLE it for you...
[05:56] <malocite> I've been googling all night, what you type in? :)
[05:56] <roger> how do i install a .deb from the command line ?
[05:56] <jetscreamer> kerebos/ldap or something car_watt
[05:57] <jetscreamer> dpkg -i
[05:57] <malocite> I've been wrestling with this problem for like 20 hours
[05:57] <ConstyXIV> roger: sudo dpkg -i foo
[05:57] <roger> thankyou
[05:57] <Jack_Sparrow> malocite: ubuntu ati tvout
[05:57] <ttt-> how can i add user logins to muddleftpd? the man page doesnt say, the help doesnt say, the site docs are down
[05:57] <car_watt> ahh jetscremer and that is tha same active directory
[05:57] <Jack_Sparrow> malocite: Tough one eh
[05:57] <ttt-> http://www.nongnu.org/muddleftpd/reference.txt
[05:57] <ConstyXIV> roger: actually gdebi foo will handle getting dependencies from apt as well, useful
[05:57] <jetscreamer> car_watt: i know those have something to do with it in linux.. not sure what to do exactly
[05:57] <burner> howlingmadhowi1: oh well, if you find any footage, feel free to msg me :)
[05:57] <malocite> jack_sparrow: Yeah, I guess the simplest searches yield the best result,
[05:57] <cwncool> hey
[05:58] <roger> i was just gonna ask that ConstyXIV thankyou again
[05:58] <ConstyXIV> malocite: have you tried ubuntu.com?
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> malocite: Im not as dumb as I look
[05:58] <malocite> jack_sparrow: I'm going to give it a try, I'll let you know if it works
[05:58] <malocite> constyxiv: Yeah
[05:58] <howlingmadhowi1> burner: the youtube videos so nearly work in the most recent gnash... give it one more version increment... :)
[05:58] <Cleric> hi there, im test-running xubuntu from a Live CD on a laptop but cannot get online via the wireless capability through firefox. can someone help me figure out why and how to fix it?
[05:58] <cwncool> do any of you use BurnCDCC to burn you isos?
[05:58] <kazim59> Jack_Sparrow: it doesn't show any usb device.. just one sda (my hard disk)
[05:58] <burner> howlingmadhowi1: i don't have a problem watching youtube with the proprietary flash 9 player.  the problem is finding the ubuntulive footage :)
[05:58] <malocite> constyxiv: went all through the forums, found lots of different scenarios, none that matched me.  Found lots of refferences to drivers that work under 7.0 or 6.9 but none for 7.1
[05:59] <car_watt> ahh jetscremer I need that the users authenticate with some activates directory but that runs under linux
[05:59] <malocite> constyxiv: Then I found a patch for 7.1 but no instructions on how to install it, the instructions were for 7.0 baaaaaa
[05:59] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: Does it work in any other computer or system
[05:59] <ConstyXIV> malocite: wait... what?
[05:59] <burner> car_watt: google for "samba active directory" and you'll find out how to set up linux as an active directory server
[05:59] <cwncool> do any of you use BurnCDCC to burn you isos?
[06:00] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: Do you have the sony duo in the adapter right side up..
[06:00] <malocite> constyxiv: To find the answer for the ati tv out problem
[06:00] <howlingmadhowi1> burner: i'm just trying to slowly wean myself off the 32-bit firefox. i'll let you know if i find any footage from portland
[06:00] <ConstyXIV> oh
[06:00] <kazim59> Jack_Sparrow: http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3864 look here... they say they can access memory stick using usb
[06:00] <ConstyXIV> malocite: http://conferences.oreillynet.com/pub/w/60/presentations.html  not footage, but close
[06:01] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: I access memory sticks all the time but will look at your link
[06:01] <malocite> constyxiv: whats that for?
[06:01] <kazim59> Jack_Sparrow: yes absolutely the right side up
[06:01] <alex_> I use memery sticks via USB all day long, it's like the most usefull tool a tech can have.
[06:01] <ConstyXIV> malocite: ubuntu live presentations
[06:02] <Cleric> hi there, im test-running xubuntu from a Live CD on a laptop but cannot get online via the wireless capability through firefox. can someone help me figure out why and how to fix it?
[06:02] <kazim59> My memory stick is connected into the adapter of my sony handycam, which is connected to pc via USB, alex_
[06:02] <car_watt> All the user uses Ubuntu, but he would want to mount something similar to activates directory but that runs in linux so that the users autentifiquen
[06:02] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: Are you using an adapter or are you plugging in your camera?
[06:02] <kazim59> Jack_Sparrow: camera
[06:02] <alex_> So you need a driver for your handy cam] 
[06:02] <malocite> constyxiv: I'll go through some, see if any are relevant, thanks
[06:02] <genii> alex_: Yes, that and an external USB enclosure that takes HD or CD unit
[06:02] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: That is a whole different issue
[06:03] <ttt-> how can i add logins to muddleftpd?
[06:03] <kazim59> Jack_Sparrow: yes.. but the link I just gave talks about camera!
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: Buy a $5 card reader...
[06:03] <taxman> Cleric: the wireless capability isn't in firefox, it's in the os. Open a terminal and run ifconfig -a
[06:03] <kazim59> Jack_Sparrow: the card reader is there in my pc.. nothing happens when i insert adapter+card... no messages in dmesg..
[06:04] <taxman> Cleric: do you see something like eth0: and a line like inet addr: in one of the lines in the eth0 section?
[06:04] <howlingmadhowi1> burner: there are some audio feeds on http://www.oreillynet.com/conferences/blog/ubuntu_live/
[06:04] <Cleric> taxman: i got a bunch of information, not sure what any of it means
[06:04] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: That link says very little and nothing about what version of linux or driver he used.
[06:04] <Kohvihoor> if i recompile my kernel, using the same version as the one i'm using now, do i have to recompile fglrx kernel module?
[06:04] <taxman> cleric, paste it to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and let us know the location
[06:05] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: Try a $5 usb card reader, the internal ie laptop ones are not the same
[06:05] <kazim59> Jack_Sparrow: the laptop reader I am using once worked perfectly....
[06:06] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: On what OS.. Ubuntu?
[06:06] <kazim59> Jack_Sparrow: nope.. windows
[06:06] <vikk1> Captainfrisbee : that command didnt work ...
[06:06] <kazim59> now it works nowhere!
[06:06] <kazim59> gotta buy one card reader
[06:06] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: Like I said... get a $5 reader, that requires special drivers on that internal reader...
[06:06] <Cleric> taxman: i cant currently paste anywhere as it is not connected to the internet. should i wire a connection to my router in order to do so?
[06:06] <vikk1>  Captainfrisbee : i cant give you my fstab config as iam booting my comp to join the room from winxp
[06:07] <CaptainFrisbee> vikku: did you create the mountdir first? (/media/windows) ?
[06:07] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: the one you have inside your laptop requires..
[06:07] <chrisLAbeard> hey i changed my xorg.conf to vesa and rebooted changed my video card and now it said that the x server cant start and now im at the root how do i fix it
[06:07] <taxman> Cleric: that would be easiest, or use a floppy to save the output to a file and then bring it up on the computer you're using now
[06:07] <vikk1>  Captainfrisbee : ohhhhh ... .be back
[06:08] <Cleric> taxman: lol no floppy drive on this pc, ill hook it to the net, bear with me
[06:08] <taxman> Cleric: the whole output of the dmesg command would be useful as well
[06:08] <CaptainFrisbee> vikku: make sure that you mount the correct partition
[06:08] <kazim59> Jack_Sparrow: requires what?
[06:09] <Jack_Sparrow> chrisLAbeard: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server
[06:09] <Jack_Sparrow> kazim59: Just get a usb card reader and all will be fine
[06:10] <CaptainFrisbee> vikku: here is some good info on mounting a windows partition: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[06:10] <chrisLAbeard> it said xorg-server is not installed andno info is available
[06:10] <Jack_Sparrow> chrisLAbeard: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:10] <chrisLAbeard> it says package 'xorg-server' is not installed
[06:10] <jetscreamer> apt-get install xorg
[06:11] <jetscreamer> and it's xserver-xorg
[06:11] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks jetscreamer
[06:11] <jetscreamer> not xorg-server
[06:11] <ConstyXIV> chrisLAbeard: what jetscreamer said just now
[06:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Fat fingers this morning
[06:12] <esteem_> What's the equlivant to ghost on linux?.. I want to be able to mirror, copy, (exact copy) using a CF card (compact flash)
[06:12] <chrisLAbeard> it wont let me do it
[06:12] <jetscreamer> dd esteem
[06:12] <jetscreamer> add sudo
[06:12] <chrisLAbeard> sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
[06:12] <chrisLAbeard> right
[06:12] <jetscreamer> no
[06:12] <taxman> esteem_: man dd, with the right options, dd will do all you need
[06:12] <jetscreamer> sudo apt-get install xorg, but it's dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:12] <jetscreamer> add sudo rather
[06:13] <jetscreamer> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:13] <Cleric> taxman: i have pasted to the pastebin code: 31561
[06:13] <burner> howlingmadhowi1: you notice that if you listen to the first one, it's only a 30 second introduction type thing?
[06:13] <esteem> jetscreamer:  Yeah, I've tried the DD thing, but my CF card contains two different partitions. One being a TFat. I need to be able to totally clone one cf card to another. this means *both* partitions
[06:13] <chrisLAbeard> and choose vesa?
[06:13] <jetscreamer> esteem: dd the device not the partition
[06:13] <olrrai> hi, I m trying to my connect remote desktop from ultravnc, but worng password, the password is fine, any idea?
[06:13] <Jack_Sparrow> jetscreamer: Sometimes I wish we could reach out and just type it on their system
[06:13] <jetscreamer> esteem: for instance, dd if=/dev/sda , not sda1
[06:14] <chrisLAbeard> jetscreamer or do i choose the card that it is
[06:14] <esteem> oh right, thanks jetscreamer I'll check it out
[06:14] <jetscreamer> chrisbudden14: what vid card do you have
[06:14] <ttt-> how do i do "mput -r *"
[06:14] <ttt-> in sftp
[06:14] <esteem> jetscreamer:  and if I do succcessfully do that, how do I then take the cloned image onto the new un-closed CF card?
[06:14] <chrisLAbeard> you mean me
[06:14] <ttt-> to recursively copy an entire directory
[06:14] <jetscreamer> err yeah sorry
[06:14] <esteem> **un-cloned
[06:14] <chrisLAbeard> jetscreamer its a ati rage i think
[06:15] <jetscreamer> use the ati driver then
[06:15] <olrrai> I m trying to connect to my remote desktop from ultravnc, but worng password, the password is fine, any idea?
[06:15] <jetscreamer> esteem: dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sda
[06:15] <chrisLAbeard> then restart
[06:16] <jetscreamer> chrisLAbeard: when it asks you low medium or advanced, choose medium
[06:16] <vnese> !vlc
[06:16] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[06:16] <chrisLAbeard> oh it didn't ask me that
[06:16] <jetscreamer> yet
[06:16] <jetscreamer> if it ever does, keep that in mind
[06:16] <chrisLAbeard> it did it again
[06:16] <jetscreamer> unless you know the v&h rates for the monitor
[06:17] <Cleric> taxman: did you find the paste as requested?
[06:17] <juice_> hi
[06:17] <chrisbudden14> jetscreamer, ati x1400
[06:18] <vikku> Captain Frisbee : where /media is ?
[06:18] <chrisbudden14> Jack_Sparrow, even
[06:18] <juice_> May I have a question ?
[06:18] <chrisbudden14> why jetscreamer ?
[06:18] <jetscreamer> chrisbudden14: i'm not sure if that card is supported by a native xorg driver
[06:18] <taxman> Cleric: no, did it give you a url?
[06:18] <chrisbudden14> it is
[06:18] <chrisbudden14> cos it works when i install
[06:18] <jetscreamer> no idea.. ah
[06:18] <chrisLAbeard> k i am back at the configuring xserver-xorg
[06:18] <jetscreamer> chrisbudden14: that's not exactly the same
[06:18] <Jack_Sparrow> chrisbudden14: That would not be legacy chipset/driver...
[06:19] <jetscreamer> chrisbudden14: the vesa xorg driver is the one you're using atm i believe (it was autoselected when you started the drxx)
[06:19] <Jack_Sparrow> chrisbudden14: I use only nvidia.. someone that uses ati may be able to help
[06:19] <Cleric> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31561/
[06:19] <CaptainFrisbee> vikku: did you look at the link I posted?
[06:19] <vikku> no
[06:19] <jetscreamer> chrisbudden14: you might need the fglrx and i think you do for 3d and a nice looking screen
[06:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Gotta run to work.. play nice all..
[06:19] <ConstyXIV> speaking of gfx cards, how well do the geforce go 7xxx chips work in feisty?
[06:20] <jetscreamer> you need restricted drivers, chrisbudden14 & ConstyXIV
[06:20] <vikku> CaptainFrisbee: no i cudnt have  look
[06:20] <vikku> at the link
[06:20] <ConstyXIV> i knew that, but do they hold up pretty well?
[06:20] <CaptainFrisbee> vikku: this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[06:21] <sarixe> hi, i'm having problems getting audacity to record.
[06:21] <esteem> thanks for your help guys
[06:21] <sarixe> i don't know what the problem is, as my audio card is set up right, and so are my audacity settings
[06:21] <sarixe> it even recorded correctly once today, but then seemingly decided to stop working.
[06:21] <burner> howlingmadhowi1: i found a podcast interview with mark shuttleworth and jono http://freshubuntu.org/podcast/96/ :)
[06:22] <vikku> CaptainFrisbee: thnkx looking at it now
[06:23] <taxman> Cleric: ok I see it, but I see the eth1 for the wireless card is not getting a link. the line is ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready is the access point turned on?
[06:24] <celina> i dont know what graphics card i have on my laptop, i want to install beryl and graphics drivers
[06:24] <chrisLAbeard> jackcreamer how do i check to see if i have the right drivers for this card
[06:25] <taxman> burner: just listened to that, not too bad
[06:25] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: What version of ubuntu are you using?
[06:25] <celina> ive just installed ubuntu 6.06 from cd and dled update
[06:25] <celina> is it still 6.06?
[06:25] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: Well latest version is 7.04
[06:26] <lysandro> hola
[06:26] <celina> how to check my version?
[06:26] <taxman> cleric, brb, let me get my laptop to compare
[06:26] <lysandro> ok
[06:26] <Pici> !version | celina
[06:26] <ubotu> celina: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[06:26] <lysandro> I don't no
[06:27] <lysandro> hellooooooooo
[06:27] <Cleric> taxman: well under XP a wireless light used to come on when enabled, currently its flashing. also when i look under system>network wireless connection is disabled and whenever i enable it, as soon as i close the window it reverts to disabled status
[06:27] <celina> celina@celina-laptop:~$ lsb_release -a
[06:27] <celina> No LSB modules are available.
[06:27] <celina> Distributor ID: Ubuntu
[06:27] <celina> Description:    Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
[06:27] <celina> Release:        6.06
[06:27] <celina> Codename:       dapper
[06:27] <juice_> Do anybody know how to install flash to work with Opera under Feisty Fawn ?
[06:27] <lysandro> what is this?
[06:28] <pete83> celina: wow, 6.06 is really old, but it was a good one
[06:28] <celina> : p
[06:28] <Pici> pete83: 6.06 is the only LTS version.
[06:28] <PriceChild> pete83, celina dapper will be supported long after edgy & feisty reach EOL
[06:28] <celina> LTS=?
[06:28] <genii> pete83: I would not consider it old until no longer supported :)
[06:28] <Pici> celina: Long Term Support.
[06:28] <sarixe> celina: long term support
[06:28] <celina> oh
[06:28] <taxman> Cleric: I don't know much about access points, I only use wireless right now in public hotspots, and my wireless card just worked automatically
[06:29] <sarixe> anyone know why audacity isn't working, even though i have everything set up correctly?
[06:29] <celina> can i update it to 7.04 by sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[06:29] <taxman> Cleric: so the AP does work fine in XP?
[06:29] <celina> i dont exacly remember
[06:29] <PriceChild> !upgrade | celina
[06:29] <pete83> Pici and genii: I know, but lots of the smaller lesserknown programs get huge updates over these versions
[06:29] <ubotu> celina: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[06:29] <esteem>  i wish there was a status bar when using DD so i could see how much it has completed
[06:29] <celina> lol thanks
[06:29] <kuitang> Anyone know how install 2X ThinClientServer on Ubuntu?
[06:30] <genii> pete83 thats what the backports repository is for
[06:30] <sayers_> Are there any Ubuntu programs to check my words per minute ?
[06:30] <taxman> esteem: do an ls -l in the directory you are saving the file to. Will tell you how large it is
[06:30] <nibblesmx> join #christine
[06:30] <nibblesmx> sorry
[06:30] <Feanix> how do I find a windows network share? I can ping the windows pc, but "places/network/windows network" is empty. other windows pcs can see the share
[06:31] <pete83> genii: I'm not really arguing with you, I just like lots of new stuff
[06:31] <celina> and what about my graphics card drivers, cuz i dont exactly know what card do i have so i dunno which drivers to install :/
[06:31] <Cleric> taxman: yes it used to work fine under XP, i would just press the wireless button, light would turn on, internet would be accessible. now it just flashes when pressed.
[06:31] <dyrne> Feanix: you want commands from terminal?
[06:31] <taxman> Cleric: I'm assuming that's because it's not getting a link. I'm trying to think of what else to check
[06:32] <Feanix> dyrne: preferably just where I have to click, but terminal if that does not work
[06:32] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: try System > Admin > Device Manager
[06:32] <genii> pete83 :)
[06:32] <pete83> celina: try typing in this: lshw -class display
[06:32] <kazim59> hey... ubuntu is just great! the camcorder worked.. all i had to do is to change it to usb mode... It worked out of the box!
[06:33] <jkessler> grr...  how can you guys stand xchat?  where's the nick list?
[06:33] <celina>  description: VGA compatible controller
[06:33] <celina>        product: Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller
[06:33] <celina>        vendor: Intel Corporation
[06:33] <jkessler> i'm only using it because my mirc via wine quit working properly
[06:33] <celina> lol i have no clue about drivers to this one
[06:33] <hylje> jkessler: while youre shocked, try out irssi
[06:33] <sayers_> jkessler: there's xchat...
[06:33] <pete83> jkessler: that bothered me too, but after a while you stop caring who's in the channel
[06:34] <lietu> I cant stand xchat... I use irssi
[06:34] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: is there a model number for the intel device?
[06:34] <sarixe> jkessler : get regular xchat, not xchat-gnome
[06:34] <sirdiego> DreamThief: ich hab grad irgendwie ausversehen nen rechtsklick gemacht aufm touchpad, wie mache ich das absichtlich? :D
[06:34] <kazim59> hylje: irssi is the best once you know shortcuts...
[06:34] <celina> hmm
[06:34] <sayers_> kazim59: I know the shorcuts but still don't like it
[06:34] <celina> i think i will just copy all the stuff on ur priv?
[06:34] <sarixe> jkessler : regular xchat has a perfectly normal nicklist
[06:34] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: could it be an intel GMA950?
[06:34] <kazim59> jkessler: unless you are not on a try-all-ims-today campaign, i would suggest simply pidgin
[06:35] <sarixe> pidgin for IRC?
[06:35] <PriceChild> kazim59, gaim is in ubuntu, not pidgin
[06:35] <kazim59> sarixe: yes... anything wrong?
[06:35] <Davy_Jones> i use gaim
[06:35] <bobodclown> Hi all, i have a question, I have no idea how but i have lost multiple desktops somehow.. where can i set it to >1?
[06:35] <sarixe> eh, i just don't like gaim's support for irc
[06:35] <kazim59> pidgin works under fiesty.. .its now in the repositories as well
[06:35] <Davy_Jones> pidgin sounds supid
[06:36] <sarixe> xchat is a quality irc client
[06:36] <sarixe> and konversation
[06:36] <genii> PriceChild: I keep making a typo with pidgin where i call it pigdin. Some Freudian slip perhaps
[06:36] <kazim59> i m using pidgin.. dear friends can you tell me what am i missing?
[06:36] <Davy_Jones> sarixe: neither do i, but i don't wanna run 4 messengers and manage em all at once
[06:36] <taxman> Cleric: unless someone else has some ideas to help get your wireless going, the dmesg from a verbose boot may be helpful. Also have you checked if your wireless card is supported in linux?
[06:36] <doc|work> how can I tell when a machine was installed? Looking at timestamps doesn't work because the dates are the creation (possibly from the cd) dates
[06:36] <sarixe> true, Davy_Jones
[06:36] <Davy_Jones> kazim59: you're just missing extra functionality that you can live without
[06:36] <pete83> bobodclown: maybe rightclick a panel, then "add to panel" then "workspace switcher"?
[06:36] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: i sent you all the stuff from console, did you recieve it?
[06:37] <kazim59> Davy_Jones: whats that 'extra' thing?
[06:37] <jkessler> i like konversation better than xchat
[06:37] <Davy_Jones> kazim59: commands support mostly
[06:37] <jkessler> i'll try pidgin
[06:37] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: no, could you use a pastebin?
[06:37] <Davy_Jones> is pidgin supported by ubuntu now?
[06:37] <sarixe> jkessler : pidgin = gaim
[06:37] <celina> pastebin?
[06:37] <Davy_Jones> it wasn't last week
[06:37] <jkessler> oh.
[06:37] <kazim59> Davy_Jones: the commands you need to kick someone? yes its supported now i think...
[06:37] <taxman> Cleric: your other option is to try to get ndiswrapper working. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper?highlight=%28ndiswrapper%29
[06:37] <bobodclown> pete83: I have the workspace swticher bottom right, but whilst it used to show 4 wprkspaces, it now just shows one.. wierd
[06:38] <CaptainFrisbee> !pastebin
[06:38] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:38] <jkessler> damn khaled for not making a linux port of mirc
[06:38] <kazim59> i installed pidgin thru apt-get
[06:38] <Davy_Jones> kazim59: ok
[06:38] <isasan> ola
[06:38] <pete83> bobodclown: rightclick the "workspace switcher" and go to preferences?
[06:38] <Davy_Jones> bobodclown: right click and configure it
[06:38] <Cleric> taxman: what is a verbose dmesg and no i dont know if it supports  linux, hwo do i check?
[06:39] <kazim59> for human beings (and not programmers), pidgin is simple and good... besides I've the ease of having one IM for 3-4 different accounts
[06:39] <Davy_Jones> jkessler: nothing wrong with other IM clients that support irc
[06:39] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31562/
[06:39] <bobodclown> pete83: doh! i right clicked and completely missed the preferences option. Solved, thanks :)
[06:39] <sarixe> Davy_Jones : snapshot ubuntu supports pidgin 2.0.2
[06:39] <PriceChild> kazim59, right seriously... we don't have pidgin... suggest gaim
[06:39] <PriceChild> sarixe, please don't suggest gutsy in this channel.
[06:39] <jkessler> yeah, but their layouts are horrible
[06:39] <roger> pisgim is the new gaim
[06:39] <Davy_Jones> sarixe: aha
[06:39] <roger> pidgin
[06:39] <sarixe> heh, i wasn't
[06:39] <jkessler> i mean it doesn't take much to transfer text.. just make it look good
[06:39] <sarixe> i was just quoting distrowatch
[06:39] <PriceChild> roger, pidgin is not in ubuntu yet, please use gaim. It has the same features
[06:40] <taxman> Cleric: for the verbose dmesg, I'm checking to see if that might be helpful. In the meantime try ndiswrapper. To see if it is supported, google is the best bet. Type in the name of the card and linux and you should be able to find it
[06:40] <Gizmo_the_Great> hi. I have just installed Feisty. I have several drives that I mount via home/ted/Mounts/Drive1 & Drive2. However, when another user logs in, they too can access these drives and they are represented via an icon on the users desktop. How do I ensure only I have access to these drives? They are mounted via /etc/fstab.
[06:40] <Davy_Jones> gaim sounds more cool that pidgin also
[06:40] <roger> i dont use ethier
[06:40] <karre> pidgin wasn found when i wanted to install it with apt-get
[06:40] <kazim59> PriceChild: but pidgin is there in apt-get.. does that mean its not supported? when do we say that its supported?
[06:40] <roger> i was just commenting on the discussion
[06:40] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31562/
[06:40] <Davy_Jones> if i have to upgrade, i'm gonna switch my im client
[06:40] <genii> Davy_Jones: Too bad AOL made them change the name then
[06:40] <mrvertigo> hey
[06:40] <roger> i have tested pidgin though its pretty nice
[06:40] <Davy_Jones> genii: ya
[06:40] <PriceChild> kazim59, You must be using 3rd party reopsitories that we don't support
[06:40] <jkessler> mirc was working fine under wine.. but now it doesn't load right.. i uninstalled and reinstalled it.. does the same thing
[06:41] <jkessler> so i've given up on it under linux
[06:41] <mrvertigo> If this is your nickname, type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY jimwest
[06:41] <mrvertigo> oops
[06:41] <Davy_Jones> i tried to install it last month, and it insisted on removing the nautilus-sendto package for some reason
[06:41] <kazim59> PriceChild: thanks for that ..... ya i remember adding those lines..
[06:41] <roger> xchat is a really good alternative jkessler
[06:41] <sarixe> kazim59 : E: Package pidgin has no installation candidate
[06:41] <jkessler> but i have no nickname list
[06:41] <jkessler> the only people that i'm aware of in this channel are the ones talking or joining
[06:41] <PriceChild> sarixe, use gaim.
[06:41] <sarixe> i know!
[06:41] <sarixe> i'm just reporting!
[06:42] <PriceChild> *groans*
[06:42] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: there isn't a model numer in the output, if it's a GMA950 then the latest compiz-fusion should work great
[06:42] <karre> i use gaim but also want touse pidgin
[06:42] <Davy_Jones> lol @ mrvertigo
[06:42] <PriceChild> karre, why?
[06:42] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: is it a recent laptop?
[06:42] <Feanix> how do I find a windows network share? I can ping the windows pc, but "places/network/windows network" is empty. other windows pcs can see the share. How do I populate the "windows network" list?
[06:42] <taxman> sarixe: yeah I think it's still just gaim in the repositories
[06:42] <sarixe> yeah
[06:42] <genii> sarixe: Yes, PriceChild already explained that pidgin is not yet in the official release versions.
[06:42] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: yes
[06:42] <pete83> Gizmo_the_Great:what if you mount the drives ahead of time, and then make your normal user the owner of the mount point folder?
[06:42] <doc|work> anyone?
[06:42] <karre> because it newer and some things are different
[06:42] <sarixe> it says it's referred to by another package, but the actual package is missing.
[06:42] <PriceChild> karre, higher version numbers do not make something better. Gaim has all the features that pidgin does. It also has several advantages in my opinion.
[06:42] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: with a core2 duo processor?
[06:42] <OneSeventeen> Is there a large performance difference between the server edition and the desktop edition when only the login screen is being displayed?
[06:42] <karre> k
[06:43] <Davy_Jones> why not ask ubotu
[06:43] <kazim59> PriceChild: pidgin got better looks
[06:43] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: Intel Celeron m430 1.73 lol :p
[06:43] <Davy_Jones> !pidgin
[06:43] <ubotu> pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[06:43] <kazim59> wow! even ubotu know that!
[06:43] <hylje> OneSeventeen: the desktop edition loads X
[06:43] <Davy_Jones> so, wait for gutsy people
[06:43] <Gizmo_the_Great> pete83, i am the owner of the mount point folder. Its in my home folder. Which is why I am so surprised that other users can access them.
[06:43] <IndyGunFreak> kazim59: i have to agree with that, pidgin looks better, i dont' feel like i'm using AIM anymore.
[06:43] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: just installing ubuntu for my auntie in scottland ::p
[06:44] <OneSeventeen> hylje: I guess I'm just curious if loading X makes a big performance difference on a LAMP setup
[06:44] <sarixe> Gizmo_the_Great : permissions should be drwx------ if you want only yourself to access it
[06:44] <celina> CaptainFrisbee:
[06:44] <pete83> Gizmo_the_Great: ok, so right click the folder, go to properties, and permissions
[06:44] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: so apt-get install compiz-fusion?
[06:44] <alien_> hi, how can i get second dynamic ip on my connection?
[06:44] <hylje> OneSeventeen: from noticeable to negligible depending on hardware
[06:44] <Davy_Jones> no, compiz-fusion isn't in the repositories iirc
[06:44] <ConstyXIV> Gizmo_the_Great: or chmod -R 700, or the gui way as pete83 said
[06:44] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: you will first have to upgrade to the latest version (7.04)
[06:45] <Cleric> taxman: dont know what ndiswrapper is nor how to use it. also the card is built into the laptop and i dont know which one it is, how do i find out?
[06:45] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: and then?
[06:45] <genii> OneSeventeen: Since no X on server by default it will be not using resources on that. also the server kernels are somewhat optimised for larger user base with things like optimised multithreading and so on
[06:45] <kazim59> gutsy.... whats the full name?
[06:45] <Davy_Jones> !ndiswrapper | Cleric
[06:45] <ubotu> Cleric: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:45] <Gizmo_the_Great> sarixe, pete83 ConstyXIV Oh yeah! I'm an idiot. Yes - that has worked. Thanks. I just assumed that by default other users could not access them as I created them.
[06:45] <taxman> Cleric: well looking more into your dmesg I see it is a supported card, that's good
[06:45] <kazim59> how do they name ubuntu? i like the names but i never understand them
[06:46] <sarixe> Gizmo_the_Great : lol
[06:46] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: i wanted to install drivers for my card and then beryl - compiz-fusion are the drivers right?
[06:46] <OneSeventeen> can I simply disable X until I type "gdm" or similar on the command line?
[06:46] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: and then you will have to add a compiz repository to your repository sources
[06:46] <genii> kazim59: Users suggest different names and so on, then they have a mtg and decide what they like
[06:46] <pete83> kazim59: alliteration of an adjective followed by a noun
[06:46] <ConstyXIV> kazim59: adjective, animal, and follow the alphabet
[06:46] <Feanix> How can I find another windows pc's shared files on a network?
[06:46] <devang> hey what's a GUI program on Ubuntu for burning image files?
[06:46] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: for intel cards you won't have to install additional drivers
[06:47] <ianmcorvidae> !k3b | devang
[06:47] <ubotu> devang: k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[06:47] <ConstyXIV> devang: r-click the image, burn
[06:47] <taxman> can anyone with more wireless knowledge, help Cleric check some things on why his Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 isn't getting a connection?
[06:47] <Davy_Jones> kazim59: they drink beer in weekends and choose names
[06:47] <kazim59> genii: where do users suggest it?
[06:47] <devang> okay thanks
[06:47] <Davy_Jones> kazim59: that's why they're stupid
[06:47] <jkessler> feanix, my windows computers on the network show up.. are you sure you have the workgroup set right?
[06:47] <fjb> Can somebody help me?  I just installed Ubuntu and everything was working fine.  Now, all of a sudden, sound stopped coming out of my sound card jack but for some reason is coming out of the internal speaker.  Is this a common problem?
[06:47] <Feanix> how do I set a workgroup
[06:48] <taxman> Cleric: good news is it should be able to work (with some effort), bad news is I don't know what more to help with
[06:48] <Davy_Jones> devang: i'd suggest gnomebaker cuz it isn't kde
[06:48] <bobodclown> on the 27th release do you reckon they'll do an excel and name it Angsty Bee or something?
[06:48] <pete83> fjb: check your volume settings with alsamixer
[06:48] <Feanix> fjb: I know that I have a different workgroup for the windows pcs, but does that matter?
[06:48] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: here is a thread on installing compiz-fusion on ubuntu 7.04: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481314
[06:48] <genii> kazim59: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames
[06:48] <jkessler> you probably have one set up for your windows machines already.. you just have to type in the same workgroup in linux..  not sure where you'd find it in the settings.. i can look
[06:48] <Cleric> taxman: thanks for checking. what do i do now?
[06:48] <ConstyXIV> Davy_Jones: nautilus has image buring built-in
[06:48] <Davy_Jones> devang: you would have to install kde libs to install k3b.. which is a waste of disk space imo
[06:48] <devang> Davy_Jones: gnomebaker is being stupid right now hence why I want to try anotheer program
[06:48] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: cool, so after update i just need to install compiz-fusion from an additional repository? compiz is instead of beryl yes?
[06:48] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: yes
[06:48] <Davy_Jones> devang: try burncenter
[06:49] <devang> Davy_Jones: I'm burning Kubuntu to install instead of Ubuntu so.. lol
[06:49] <jkessler> feanix: and yes, that's probably your problem
[06:49] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: last question : )
[06:49] <Davy_Jones> devang: its' CLI though
[06:49] <ConstyXIV> devang: as i said, right-click the image in nautilus (the file manager), there is a "write image"
[06:49] <fjb> pete83: my alsamixer settings are fine.  Like I said sound is coming out of the internal speaker but not the external jack.  when I mess with the mixer the internal speaker is changing levels but not the sound jack
[06:49] <Davy_Jones> devang: ewww
[06:49] <Davy_Jones> kde
[06:49] <ConstyXIV> devang: in that case, install the kubuntu-desktop package
[06:49] <bobodclown> sorry: noob question. Is desktop effects in Gutsy compiz?
[06:49] <ianmcorvidae> devang: Yeah, just do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:49] <Feanix> jkessler: thanks, that will help. however, eventually I want to access windows pcs in different workgroups, is there a way to do that?
[06:49] <ianmcorvidae> And you have kubuntu!
[06:49] <pete83> fjb: is this a laptop?
[06:49] <devang> ConstyXIV: I can't right click and burn the image as an image it just burns the file
[06:49] <ConstyXIV> bobodclown: yes, and in feisty
[06:49] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: it says that when im upgrading i shouldnt use any nonubuntu repositories. I pasted to sources.list repositories from 6.06 wiki will it be ok?
[06:50] <fjb> pete83: no it's an HP with an idiotic internal speaker
[06:50] <bobodclown> ConstyXIV: thanks
[06:50] <Davy_Jones> bobodclown: no, there will be better than desktop effects.. compiz-fusion
[06:50] <ConstyXIV> devang: nautilus should have a write image option when you r-click an .iso
[06:50] <fjb> pete83: it's using the on board sound
[06:50] <jkessler> feanix: i meant, domain, not workgroup sorry. and you can change it in system -> administration -> network settings .. it's one of the tabs
[06:50] <ConstyXIV> devang: or the old-fashioned way, cdrecord foo
[06:50] <devang> ConstyXIV: Nope just a write to disc which just writes the file
[06:50] <jkessler> you can set up separate workgroups on the same domain
[06:51] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: its maybe better to remove the third-party repos before upgrading
[06:51] <enez> hi
[06:51] <sausageman> I'm having a very odd problem with someone using Beryl (nVidia and AIGLX i think). Applications such as Xterm, Xaos, some games, Kbounce are appearing as a blank, white rectangle with no contents. On a screenshot, however, the windows have the expected contents.
[06:51] <Feanix> jkessler: i see, but I do not have any domain, this is a home network
[06:51] <Davy_Jones> devang: i wouldn't recommend apt-get install kubuntu-desktop.. having 2 window managers is just another waste of disk space.. unless you wanna try both then decide on one
[06:51] <ConstyXIV> devang: that should write the image
[06:51] <ryoohki> if you have sudo, can you grant root to a running graphical process?
[06:51] <taxman> Cleric: work through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide?highlight=%28wireless%29  then ask specifics here. Be patient, it will work :)
[06:51] <Feanix> jkessler
[06:51] <Feanix> sorry
[06:51] <seanh> Hi -- easiest way to get video from video camera to hard drive in Ubuntu?
[06:51] <Feanix> mistyped
[06:51] <ConstyXIV> ryoohki: you have to start it with sudo or gksudo
[06:51] <devang> ConstyXIV: It didn't lol I wasted 4 discs trying 4 different ways
[06:51] <imbecile> hey guys, how do i install from alternate cd?
[06:51] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: ive made a backup before changing sources.list but with the standard repos i wasnt able to dl gstreamer codecs
[06:52] <ConstyXIV> imbecile: boot with it, follow instructions
[06:52] <jkessler> hrm.. i'm not sure then.. i'm only a novice linux user.  i'm at work and we have a vpn.  all i know is when i put all of my domain settings in i could see all of the computers in my office and the other offices
[06:52] <ryoohki> can you use to sudo to switch a running user process to root, the likes of the "nice" command
[06:52] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: are they wrong or i just have to add multiverse and universe repos or smth
[06:52] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: that should not be a problem with 7.04
[06:52] <ConstyXIV> ryoohki: afaik, no
[06:52] <Zambezi> I got a kernelpanic. This is the first errormessages. What does it mean? "142.318551]  Buffer I/O error on sr0, logical block 0"
[06:52] <Davy_Jones> imbecile: pop it in and restart
[06:52] <pete83> fjb: what sound card? (lshw -class multimedia)
[06:52] <kazim59> genii: nd fiesty fawn as the best
[06:52] <taxman> Cleric: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessNetworking?highlight=%28wireless%29 may also help. Other links are available here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetAndNetworking?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=wireless&titlesearch=Titles all I did was search for wireless at the top. Sorry, but I have to run
[06:52] <kazim59> genii: i like fiesty fawn as the best
[06:52] <imbecile> ConstyXIV, hmmm.... it passed md5 but its not detecting a bootloader:(
[06:53] <ryoohki> ConstyXIV: i know you can start it up with sudo, but i want to do something a little different
[06:53] <ryoohki> ConstyXIV: thanks
[06:53] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: ok so when i have sum more time i will start updating step by step :p thanks for your help mate
[06:53] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: yes you can enable the universe | multiverse repos without problems
[06:53] <genii> kazim59: When ppl ask about nonexistent future versions like 10.6 for instance, Temporal Tapir comes to mind
[06:53] <Bugs_Crash> Anybody can help with Vnc + Ubuntu Server + xfc4
[06:53] <jkessler> imbecile are you burning the cd as an image?
[06:53] <ConstyXIV> ryoohki: i don't think you can put a program in sudo while it's running.  i may be wrong though
[06:53] <CaptainFrisbee> celina: good luck!
[06:53] <ConstyXIV> Bugs_Crash: elaborate please
[06:53] <kazim59> genii: ha ha ha! cool
[06:53] <imbecile> jkessler, yes
[06:53] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: i will do my best after i upgrade to 7.04 if anything goes wrong im coming here :D
[06:53] <celina> CaptainFrisbee: ty!
[06:54] <Davy_Jones> fiesty doesn't have a major and noticeable change over edgy imo
[06:54] <jkessler> hrm..  dunno then..  request a free cd from ubuntu, that's what i ended up doing after my burned iso didn't work right.
[06:54] <devang> 9491 ubuntu seeders.. lol
[06:54] <jkessler> don't even have to pay shipping
[06:54] <jkessler> :P
[06:54] <Bugs_Crash> I try to use vnc 5900 but I dont .
[06:54] <ConstyXIV> Davy_Jones: don;t forget about more hardware support
[06:54] <benmayim> I'm trying to get my nvidia drivers recognized by ubuntu 7.04. How do I do this?
[06:54] <kuitang> Anyone have luck installing 2X ThinClientServer on ubuntu?
[06:54] <CaptainFrisbee> !nvidia
[06:54] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:55] <sarixe> devang : which torrent?
[06:55] <fjb> pete83: ICH5 AC'97
[06:55] <ConstyXIV> kuitang: dunno about 2x, but NoMachine works smoothly last time i checked
[06:55] <imbecile> jkessler, i cant install off of feisty (sent from canonical)due to problems with ubiquity on 3 different disks
[06:55] <Bugs_Crash> Anybody can help with Vnc + Ubuntu Server + xfc4 (I need use 5900 on web)
[06:55] <devang> sarixe: 7.04
[06:55] <Davy_Jones> benmayim: turn on desktop effects then follow instructions
[06:55] <sarixe> devang : desktop i386?
[06:55] <devang> sarixe: yep
[06:56] <kuitang> ConstyXIV: but NX is insufficient for thinclienting, right?
[06:56] <imbecile> i have to d/l edgy then upgrade
[06:56] <sarixe> devang : i'm only getting 655... not that i'm complaining, lol
[06:56] <ConstyXIV> kuitang: as in hardware thin clients?  i'm not sure...
[06:56] <imbecile> err.. install... sorry i just woke up

[07:03] <gavintlgol1> hi. I have a quick question. How can I install a new pointer theme (which i found on gnome-look.org) ?
[07:03] <fjb> pete83: no
[07:03] <krel> Davy_Jones: it's /dev/sda2 in my fdisk -l, but it doesn't show up in df -TH
[07:03] <kuitang> Feanix: If everything's configured correctly you can see it from gnome
[07:04] <devang> benmayim: or just download the source then compile it
[07:04] <krel> so it's not mounted... but the ipod still says "do not disconnect"
[07:04] <benmayim> devang, if I found it, what would I do with it? I don't know how to manually install anything.
[07:04] <Davy_Jones> krel: i was sure it shows up with fdisk -l , but wasn't sure about df
[07:04] <Feanix> kuitang: how can I configure this? or where is this documented?
[07:04] <krel> Davy_Jones: so how do I unmount it?
[07:04] <Davy_Jones> krel: this might sounds stupid but did you do df -Th AFTER you umounted it?
[07:04] <askand> Help with bash... title=ok clip=yes shouldnt echo $title$clip output okyes?
[07:04] <devang> benmayim: open up Terminal, type in cd <directory you extracted it to>, then type in make install
[07:05] <jetscreamer> quit being scared of the command line... try it, you'll like it
[07:05] <Davy_Jones> krel: sudo umount /dev/sda2
[07:05] <Emperor_Norton> when mounting
[07:05] <Emperor_Norton> a nfts drive
[07:05] <krel> Davy_Jones: umount: /dev/sda2: not mounted
[07:05] <Emperor_Norton> what is the -t?
[07:05] <Davy_Jones> i dumped windows because it tries to always keep you from the powerful command line
[07:05] <chrisLAbeard> is there a command i can use to see if my video card supports open GL ?
[07:06] <Davy_Jones> krel: then it's unmounted
[07:06] <pete83> fjb: hey, do you have vlc?
[07:06] <Davy_Jones> krel: either that, or you got the wrong /dev/disk
[07:06] <krel> Davy_Jones: so... why does the ipod still say "do not disconnect"
[07:06] <devang> What's the channel for gusty dev?
[07:06] <fjb> pete83: yes
[07:06] <benmayim> devang, you mean "make install" and then I will be prompted for what to install?
[07:06] <Davy_Jones> krel: double check
[07:06] <Feanix> jetscreamer: the command line is nice for certain tasks, but when I just want to copy or move some files, a file browser is so much faster
[07:06] <Davy_Jones> krel: not sure, i don't have an ipod.. too poor
[07:06] <fjb> pete83: in fact I was using it to play an xvid when the sound broke
[07:06] <devang> benmayim: when you type in make install it compiles/makes the program for you
[07:07] <devang> benmayim: usually you don't have to do anything
[07:07] <pete83> fjb: go to the preferences, and change the audio output module to OSS, and try if that works differently than alsa for playing a sound file...

[07:07] <bulmer> Emperor_Norton: type
[07:07] <Feanix> so to rephrase: how do i configrue gnome to display windows network shares? or where do I find the documentation about that?
[07:08] <devang> benmayim: extract the .gz package to say your home folder
[07:08] <Emperor_Norton> benmayim, normally it's tar xf foo.gz
[07:08] <Emperor_Norton> then ./configure
[07:08] <Davy_Jones> krel: yeah, i don't know why the iPod still says do not disconnect.. no experience with em
[07:08] <vikk1> CaptainFrisbee : i did what was written in that link but didnt succeed ...got error that Unable to load charset UTFS
[07:08] <devang> benmayim: then open up terminal then so on
[07:08] <Emperor_Norton> then make
[07:08] <Emperor_Norton> then make install
[07:08] <chrisLAbeard> anyone know the command to see if your video card has open GL
[07:08] <krel> aww...
[07:08] <tw2113> allo
[07:08] <krel> this should be easy -_-
[07:08] <tw2113> i have a brief gparted question
[07:08] <benmayim> devang, so I type "make install" in the directory that I have extracted the package to?
[07:08] <Emperor_Norton> bulmer ?
[07:08] <Byan> is there a way to untar and just untar the files..
[07:08] <Byan> and forget about the folders..
[07:09] <Davy_Jones> benmayim: do ./configure    make    make install      on the folder you extracted the archive to
[07:09] <bulmer> Emperor_Norton: type thats the meaning of -t
[07:09] <tw2113> i have a 30gb hard drive on my tablet pc, that is allocated to ubuntu, but i want to partition part of it off for a different distro
[07:09] <Emperor_Norton> yeah
[07:09] <devang> benmayim: yep
[07:09] <Emperor_Norton> but what type do I need
[07:09] <tw2113> is it safe to use gparted to umnount it? without ruining what i have
[07:09] <Emperor_Norton> I tried nfts
[07:09] <vikk1>  CaptainFrisbee : i did what was written in that link but didnt succeed ...got error that Unable to load charset UTFS and IO charset utfs not found
[07:09] <benmayim> ok, devang, will try that. thx
[07:10] <Zambezi> I got a kernelpanic and got this messages: http://www.pastebin.ca/636123 What's wrong?
[07:10] <Depressure> what does it mean when i get the configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables"
[07:10] <fjb> pete83: figured it out.  I got an idea and tried it.  Apparently alsamixer takes the sound device internal speaker as the MAIN channel and the output jack is treated as the HEADPHONE output.  Somehow the headphone level in the mixer was down.
[07:10] <chrisLAbeard> do you guys know if ATI 3D RAGE PRO 2125GP has open GL
[07:10] <Feanix> where do I find the documentation about displaying windows network shares in the file browser? or where else could I ask? please just give me a hint
[07:10] <devang> Depressure: what are you trying to compile?
[07:11] <pete83> fjb: aaargh! so the alsamixer was right all along!

Your only option is to install and use the XGL server instead of the regular X server if you really want desktop effects... but it may be buggy and not worth it... bottom line is, complain to ATI until they release a decent driver that supports AIGLX

[07:28] <PriceChild> inthepit, make sure you edit as root (using sudo)
[07:29] <ubuntu> yeah...XD
[07:29] <inthepit> i am constantly at a resolution of 640x480 and nothing changes
[07:29] <the_cyber_guy> help me :-(
[07:29] <genii> vikk2: Where  you put previously in the fstab something that said UTFS put UTF not UFS (unless you are mounting some BSD based partition)
[07:29] <inthepit> i am root
[07:29] <genii> Also I am a he not a she
[07:29] <C_> i can deal with buggy pete38 , what i can't deal with is the ass hole in the next office telling me that vista look more like an os should and will do more out of the box then any Linux os
[07:29] <alex_> I wonder if Michael Dell ever uses XChat
[07:30] <ConstyXIV> ubuntu: pretty much all drivers are incl. on the cd.  gfx drivers can be downloaded from apt, broadcom wifi from the manufacturer's site
[07:30] <the_cyber_guy> i have problem booting ubuntu
[07:30] <devang> C_: Bust out Beryl and have him die in awe
[07:30] <pete83> ubuntu: for the most part, linux needs linux drivers and cannot use windows drivers... there is a possible workaroud for wireless cards I think, but otherwise, windows drivers are useless in linux
[07:30] <zylthinking> I rebuild kernel and enable framebuffer, then I running the kernel with vga=792 option, but I can't see anything in tty1-tty6, why??
[07:30] <attunix> !questions | the_cyber_guy
[07:30] <ubotu> the_cyber_guy: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:30] <devang> That's how I switched a bunch of windows loves and techs to linux
[07:30] <PriceChild> zylthinking, custom kernels are not supported here.
[07:30] <ubuntu> darn!
[07:30] <the_cyber_guy> it says /bin/sh couldn't access tty job control turned off
[07:30] <inthepit> i did a sudo reconfig-xserver blah blah blah and added the resolution in want and all i get is 640x480 and nothing bigger
[07:31] <C_> i did try to in stall beryl and i can get it to start but its not working right .
[07:31] <ubuntu> my manufacturer doesnt make linux drivers......XD
[07:31] <genii> CaptainFrisbee: I give them maybe 4 minutes before returning with "UFS error" of some kind
[07:31] <ConstyXIV> ubuntu: in short, if it doesn't have support from the livecd, and it's not ati/nvidia graphics or a broadcom wifi card, you're SOL
[07:31] <attunix> C_: it's probably ur video card; u need intel or nvidia
[07:31] <PriceChild> zylthinking, if you're going to recompile them... then know what you're doing as you can cause many, serious, unexplainable errors
[07:31] <inthepit> i just want like 800x600 or 1024x768 cause i am vncing this machine only
[07:31] <ConstyXIV> ubuntu: what's the hardware?
[07:31] <attunix> C_: *graphics
[07:31] <genii> CaptainFrisbee:  ;)
[07:31] <ConstyXIV> ubuntu: that doesn't work?
[07:31] <pete83> C_: well if you really want, then read this:  http://obtown.com/2007/06/15/how-to-beryl-on-ubuntu-feisty-with-ati/
[07:31] <CaptainFrisbee> genii: yes, maybe longer he has to reboot twice :)

[07:32] <the_cyber_guy> help me :-(
[07:33] <b4l74z4r> i closed firefox and tried to restart it but i get a dialog saying: "Firefox is running but not responding, to open a new window you must first close the existing Firefox process or restart the system" how do i close the existing process?
[07:33] <PriceChild> ubuntu, 5.10 has reached EOL. Please use >= 6.06
[07:33] <ConstyXIV> ubuntu: that's your problem.  use 7.04
[07:33] <ubuntu> eol?
[07:33] <CaptainFrisbee> the_cyber_guy: can you be more specific?
[07:33] <howlingmadhowi1> b4l74z4r: you need to find a process list and then kill the process
[07:33] <PriceChild> ubuntu, end of life. No longer supported
[07:33] <devang> C_: go to youtube and look for a video called Vista vs Ubuntu Beryl and show him that lol
[07:33] <ConstyXIV> ubuntu: end of life, no longer supported
[07:33] <ubuntu> lol....pricechild
[07:33] <Logart> The Chinese slippers the best. P.s collapse in an hour. For 2 $ call 666-666-666
[07:33] <the_cyber_guy> it says /bin/sh couldn't access tty job control turned off
[07:33] <PriceChild> ConstyXIV, "great minds..."
[07:33] <b4l74z4r> how do i bring up a process list in ubuntu?
[07:33] <Chall> 
[07:33] <pete83> b4l74z4r: go to system>>administration>>system monitor, and then stop the firefox from there
[07:33] <ubuntu> i got these cds abt 2 yrs ago
[07:33] <the_cyber_guy> and it hangs just there
[07:34] <b4l74z4r> pete83: thanks
[07:34] <ConstyXIV> PriceChild, "...think alike" :)
[07:34] <Logart> The Chinese slippers the best. P.s collapse in an hour. For 2 $ call 666-666-666
[07:34] <zylthinking> : PriceChild, I know, lots of articles have been lookd up, seems anything I have done rightly, but there is still the big problem
[07:34] <genii> ubuntu: They will mail you new ones if you go sign up to the Shipit page of Ubuntu
[07:34] <ubuntu> i did...but i still havent gotten them...
[07:34] <the_cyber_guy> it bbots and when i try to run/install the cd it gives me the error
[07:34] <ConstyXIV> b4l74z4r: also ctrl-shift-esc i think
[07:35] <the_cyber_guy> boots*
[07:35] <ConstyXIV> ubuntu: burn your own ubuntu cd, it's not all that hard
[07:35] <the_cyber_guy> how can i resolve this
[07:35] <ubuntu> i cant ...i dont have the drivers...lol
[07:35] <CaptainFrisbee> the_cyber_guy: where you doing something particular before Ubuntu stopped booting?
[07:35] <genii> ubuntu: Well, it takes a few weeks. If you have a broadband and burner you could just get the iso file and make it of course
[07:35] <ubuntu> its all a loop
[07:35] <Pici> !offtopic > Logart (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[07:35] <ConstyXIV> ubuntu: in windows?
[07:36] <ubuntu> i had vista but it kept crasking
[07:36] <ubuntu> and now the recovery doesnt work
[07:36] <Logart> ,  , 
[07:36] <ubuntu> so thats useless
[07:36] <the_cyber_guy> i just selected to run live cd/install and it gives me that error
[07:36] <the_cyber_guy> it says /bin/sh couldn't access tty job control turned off
[07:36] <b4l74z4r> what's the difference between stop, end and kill process?
[07:36] <ConstyXIV> ubuntu: download the ubuntu .iso (from another pc if you have to), and use ImgBurn or Infra Recorder to burn it)
[07:37] <vikku> CaptainFrizbee : it still says IO charset UFS not found
[07:37] <ConstyXIV> b4l74z4r: kill ends it right away, end lets it close up, stop freezes it (i think)
[07:37] <the_cyber_guy> in the line <initramfs>
[07:37] <ubuntu> my sisters laptop doesnt have hdd space....i cant do anything
[07:37] <b4l74z4r> ok, thanks
[07:37] <Zaibot> How do you get WINI to automaticly open .exe files?
[07:37] <CaptainFrisbee> vikku: it should be UTF, not UTFS or UFS
[07:37] <pete83> b4l74z4r: I think stop is like pausing it... you want to kill them! kill! kill!
[07:37] <b4l74z4r> :o)
[07:38] <Pici> the_cyber_guy: Have you tried using the alternate CD?
[07:38] <crackintosh> I have an ssh problem. I installed openssh-server on one machine, however I cannot access it remotely, is port 22 blocked on the ubuntu firewall?
[07:38] <ConstyXIV> ubuntu: go to a friend's house, or your neighbor's, etc...
[07:38] <the_cyber_guy> alternate cd?
[07:38] <Pici> !alternate | the_cyber_guy
[07:38] <ubotu> the_cyber_guy: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal

[07:58] <iyigun> hi. I have an ntfs drive, which I mount in startup in /etc/fstab. It was working until today, i didn't change anything but it doesn't work anymore.
[07:58] <devang> ubuntu: what are you having trouble with?
[07:58] <genii> pipe it to cut then
[07:58] <neverblue> iyigun, sudo mount -a
[07:58] <ConstyXIV> pedr1: sudo apt-get install alsa-dev
[07:58] <neverblue> iyigun, any errors?
[07:58] <genii> Sorry for lag, working here (trying )
[07:58] <ubuntu> devang, it's not showing up anywhere in GNOME, I can't see the networking connection when I open "network connections"
[07:58] <b4l74z4r> i just installed opera with the gdebi package manager but it doesn't show up in Applications > Internet, what gives?
[07:58] <iyigun> no errors
[07:59] <devang> ubuntu: are you sure the driver is supported?
[07:59] <neverblue> iyigun, check your mount (NTFS drive) again
[07:59] <ubuntu> devang, I have no idea, I'm just trying to see if it works
[07:59] <iyigun> when I mount it manually it doesn't work also
[07:59] <ubuntu> devang, before I do a full install
[07:59] <devang> ubuntu: try madwifi then try ndiswrapper
[07:59] <ConstyXIV> pedr1: also try sudo apt-get build-dep foo, foo being what you're trying to build
[07:59] <ubuntu> devang, what's that?
[07:59] <neverblue> iyigun, see it now?
[07:59] <iyigun> neverblue, what do you mean 'check'?
[07:59] <howlingmadhowi1> b4l74z4r: is it installed on the system? can you open a terminal and enter 'locate opera'?
[07:59] <CaptainFrisbee> iyigun: is there an error message when you mount it manually?

[07:59] <iyigun> no, there's no message
[07:59] <neverblue> iyigun, view the filesystem?
[08:00] <b4l74z4r> howlingmadhowi1: i'll check
[08:00] <devang> ubuntu: it's a program look in synaptic

[08:00] <ConstyXIV> ubuntu: is this still the 5.10 cd?
[08:00] <ubuntu> ConstyXIV, no - this is 7.04
[08:00] <ConstyXIV> oh, good
[08:01] <iyigun> neverblue, I unmounted ntfs and ran mount -a again, there's a message now
[08:01] <ubuntu> ConstyXIV, I'm not that forum user, I'm someone else.
[08:01] <ConstyXIV> oh, nevermind then
[08:01] <ubuntu> I'm having almost the same issues with the LiveCD he was, though
[08:01] <neverblue> iyigun, can you see the device (check your fstab for the exact location) in /dev ?
[08:01] <ubuntu> no sound, and no wireless
[08:01] <iyigun> neverblue, Mount is denied because NTFS logfile is unclean.
[08:01] <b4l74z4r> howlingmadhowi1: i couldn't find opera using locate, but it said that the database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is more than 8 days old
[08:01] <ConstyXIV> we really need to have the livecd randomize usernames
[08:01] <ubuntu> Lol, I agree.
[08:01] <pete83> dom: have you tried http://gnomecoder.wordpress.com/screenruler/
[08:02] <zenmonk> I need to be able to dual boot windows, but I think the installer overwrites the mbr, how can I make the installer create a boot partition?
[08:02] <iyigun> it says windows was not shut down cleanly
[08:02] <howlingmadhowi1> b4l74z4r: then try 'which opera'
[08:02] <devang> ubuntu: what are you trying for sound?
[08:02] <b4l74z4r> ok
[08:02] <pppoe_dude> how can i mount an mdf image in ubuntu?
[08:02] <ConstyXIV> zenmonk: it'll overwrite it with GRUB, but GRUB boots windows also
[08:02] <neverblue> iyigun, your just doing your own thing now, it appears
[08:02] <Crescendo> Alright, so if lspci is showing my wireless device, why isn't it working?
[08:02] <neverblue> good luck :)
[08:02] <b4l74z4r> howlingmadhowi1: i got usr/bin/opera
[08:02] <ConstyXIV> zenmonk: in fact, it should set it up automagically
[08:02] <iyigun> neverblue, I can see the device. It's there. I'll try to  restart windows, and see what happens
[08:02] <swmiller6> malocite: should work ok'
[08:02] <devang> poppoe_dude: alcohol 120% on Wine? lol
[08:03] <zenmonk> ConstyXIV: it was my understanding that it could only boot windows by chaining it together with the windows boot loader
[08:03] <koolrans> i had a question regarding the nvidia drivers
[08:03] <Crescendo> Also, I saw that the wireless light was on when I first booted, and then I used the hotkey, turned it off, then back on, and now I look and I can't turn it on (I don't know where it went to begin with?)
[08:03] <iyigun> neverblue, thanks
[08:03] <neverblue> koolrans, what guide are you using to setup the NVidia?
[08:03] <ConstyXIV> zenmonk: it does that for you, works perfectly
[08:03] <Zaibot> I just installed Steam using WINE, I can now start Steam, but there is no text anywhere. Why, and what can I do to fix it?
[08:03] <zenmonk> ConstyXIV: it appeared set up, but when I went to boot into windows I just got a back screen that said "booting up..." or something like that
[08:03] <koolrans> i just enabled the nvidia restricted drivers
[08:03] <neverblue> Zaibot, #winehq
[08:03] <Tomcat_> -rwsr-sr-x 1 root   root     20 2007-07-27 19:52 test
[08:03] <Tomcat_>  <--- Can anybody tell me why this doesn't execute as root?
[08:03] <neverblue> koolrans, and?
[08:03] <koolrans> then i selected the screen resolution using nvidia-settings
[08:04] <devang> Tomcat: use sudo
[08:04] <ConstyXIV> zenmonk: did you install windows first?
[08:04] <koolrans> and when I save the settings to X.org file
[08:04] <pppoe_dude> nm im gonna convert it to iso
[08:04] <zenmonk> ConstyXIV: so I thought the boot loader must have been overwritten, and that grub was trying to link to a non existant boot loader
[08:04] <koolrans> I am not getting the same resolution
[08:04] <zenmonk> ConstyXIV: yes
[08:04] <koolrans> it goes back to default
[08:04] <Tomcat_> devang: Not possible; I need the file to be setuid root, so the web server can run it as root.
[08:04] <ConstyXIV> zenmonk: xp or vista? (ducks)
[08:04] <koolrans> how do I save it so I dont have to select it each time
[08:04] <devang> Tomcat_: oh don't know then sorry
[08:04] <neverblue> koolrans, did you sudo nvidia-settings?
[08:04] <zenmonk> ConstyXIV: xp
[08:05] <koolrans> no, i just did nvidia-settings
[08:05] <neverblue> koolrans, you would need to, to write to the xorg.conf
[08:05] <koolrans> will sudo work ?
[08:05] <MsK`> 'soiiir
[08:05] <zenmonk> ConstyXIV: what I noticed was that unlike some other distributions, (in this case kubuntu) doesn't install a /boot partition
[08:05] <neverblue> koolrans, try it :)

[08:06] <b4l74z4r> it says operathe opera in usr/bin is a shell script, what does that mean?
[08:06] <CaptainFrisbee> konam: is dma working now?
[08:06] <IndyGunFreak> GrowlZ: why not just use the repositories
[08:06] <ConstyXIV> b4l74z4r: it's a script to load opera, just run it
[08:07] <b4l74z4r> ok, thanks
[08:07] <koolrans> just started using sudo and saved it
[08:07] <howlingmadhowi1> b4l74z4r: that's not necessarly bad news. does opera start if you click on it?
[08:07] <Crescendo> If I install the ATI proprietary graphics drivers, is there a chance that will help my audio and wireless issues, too?
[08:07] <koolrans> i will try to logoff and check

[08:07] <koolrans> thanks, neverblue
[08:07] <IndyGunFreak> Crescendo: extremely unlikely.
[08:07] <pete83> GrowlZ: in synaptic, go to File>>Generate Package download script
[08:07] <neverblue> np koolrans
[08:07] <Crescendo> IndyGunFreak, didn't think so, lol.
[08:07] <neverblue> i had the same issue in the past :)
[08:07] <finalbeta> eh. How does /etc/init.d work? don't the /etc/rc... dirs handle the runlevels?
[08:08] <reverseblade> finalbeta, yeah
[08:08] <howlingmadhowi1> b4l74z4r: now you can add an entry to applications->internet pointing to /usr/bin/opera :)
[08:08] <reverseblade> finalbeta, what's your problem buddy
[08:08] <Crescendo> Do you think if I do the full install these things might work, versus the LiveCD I'm using now?
[08:08] <b4l74z4r> howlingmadhowi1: great, thanks
[08:08] <roger> how do i access the cdrom from command line
[08:08] <IndyGunFreak> pete83: what does that do?
[08:08] <root98> hi all i have some  troubles  with ubuntu 7/04   its  very slow  work! on my  P4 2.8 and  all my hdd ATA  dont  enable  UDMA help
[08:08] <Crescendo> roger, /dev/cdrom
[08:08] <GrowlZ> pete83: I've tried that - it just generates an empty shell script. I guess that only exports the marked changes?
[08:09] <wckdkl0wn> how do i create a shortcut on the desktop to perform this command?  ls /home/kevin/music > /home/kevin/Desktop/Albums.txt
[08:09] <devang> Crescendo: What computer are you using?
[08:09] <finalbeta> reverseblade: I'm confused :P. Why is /etc/init.d needed if the scripts for a runlevel are in the /etc/rc dirs?
[08:09] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok.
[08:09] <marl> can anyone tell my what partation tool is used when installing feisty and configuring the partions manually? i know it worked with the hard drive, and fdisk wont work :(

[08:09] <Crescendo> Laptop - both the sound card and the wireless show up when lspci
[08:09] <reverseblade> finalbeta, runlevels define what is to be run. init.d defines how that thing runs
[08:10] <dougb> hi, i've set up pptp on feisty, and i would like to not have the internet routed through the VPN, is there a way to have the VPN connection not be the default router?

[08:10] <koolrans> hi neverblue
[08:10] <koolrans> looks like it did not wokr
[08:10] <ConstyXIV> wckdkl0wn: put it in a text file with #!/bin/sh at the top, save it as music.sh, and put it on your desktop
[08:10] <reverseblade> finalbeta, google for more info, tons of stuff there
[08:10] <IndyGunFreak> Crescendo: try googling them with "Ubuntu 7.04 help" or something like that
[08:10] <root98> home  pc  desk
[08:10] <devang> Crescendo: do you have a little button or turning each on and off?
[08:10] <devang> * for turning
[08:10] <neverblue> koolrans, duals?
[08:10] <koolrans> nope
[08:10] <Crescendo> devang, yes, which worked at first, but now it seems to not work (same session, haven't restarted)
[08:10] <koolrans> just one lcd, viewsonic 22 inch
[08:10] <Crescendo> at least, it turned the light off and then back on (wireless light)
[08:11] <devang> Crescendo: I have simliar sound problems with my desktop and wireless with my laptop
[08:11] <IndyGunFreak> Crescendo: whats your audio chipset?
[08:11] <koolrans> geforce 6500 nforce 405 onboard graphics
[08:11] <pete83> GrowlZ: maybe you could just copy all the files from /var/cache/apt/archives  ... and then try to dpkg -i * or something...
[08:11] <neverblue> koolrans, so what is the issue exactly?
[08:11] <IndyGunFreak> audio device, that isl

[08:11] <koolrans> when i restart computer
[08:11] <koolrans> they are lost
[08:11] <roger> so i guess the question becomes how do i mount a cdrom in the console ?
[08:11] <neverblue> koolrans, did you look at the xorg.conf
[08:11] <reverseblade> roger, man mount
[08:12] <neverblue> and see if the settings took?
[08:12] <konam> CaptainFrisbee i'm checking if i have it active but the prompt say almost nothing

[08:12] <CaptainFrisbee> konam: what does it say?
[08:12] <neverblue> koolrans, well, you could press ctrl-alt-f1 to open a shell
[08:12] <Tomcat_> howlingmadhowi1: Both don't work. I found out that it only works on binaries, not on scripts.
[08:12] <neverblue> koolrans, that way u can look at it
[08:13] <howlingmadhowi1> Tomcat_: oh, okay :)
[08:13] <neverblue> then sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:13] <howlingmadhowi1> Tomcat_: will it work on perl-scripts?

[08:13] <GrowlZ> pete83: Seems a slightly horrendous way of doing things. I don't mind redownloading everything
[08:13] <ConstyXIV> does tomboy by chance run under windows?

[08:14] <Crescendo> Okay, that looks like it will solve my sound problem if I had an actual install, IndyGunFreak - so thanks for the help on that
[08:14] <GrowlZ> I got a new Dell laptop today, and I'm moving everything over onto that; to make the migration easier, it'd be good if all the packages and apps on the desktop were also present on the laptop
[08:14] <Crescendo> now all I need is to get this damned wireless working
[08:14] <malocite> swmiller6: Hey, came up against a problem in the instructions on http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/TVout_for_legacy_ATI_cards_using_GATOS
[08:14] <IndyGunFreak> Crescendo: no prob.
[08:14] <root98> I hate to say this but after installing Ubuntu on a 1.8 GHz PC with 256 MB RAM, I found it to be slower than Windows 2000. Here is my experience.
[08:14] <root98> The boot-up sequence takes almost 1.5-2 times longer than Windows 2000. In case of power failure, which is not uncommon here, Windows recovers much better (after manadatory chkdsk) than Ubuntu. It simply forced me to re-install both times. That is clearly not acceptable.
[08:14] <root98> It did recognize the system well and installed itself correctly. But it appeared to lack in performance, at least in the UI.
[08:14] <sa1> hi, i need help with getting online with ubuntu 7.04   im using a gateway computer and it has a builtin realtek wifi card... it works fine in F7 but not in ubuntu...
[08:14] <GrowlZ> But I don't see any way of doing that
[08:14] <IndyGunFreak> Crescendo: with wireless, you might just have to wing it, and work on it after the install is done

[08:18] <Crescendo> IndyGunFreak, the link to launchpad?
[08:18] <sa1> Davey cos americans are way too insular!
[08:18] <koolrans> neverblue, i was able to save the settings after using sudo
[08:19] <sa1> anyway  need to reboot see ya all later.
[08:19] <koolrans> now a new problem has started happening
[08:19] <IndyGunFreak> Crescendo: i was just googling, saw one post said it should work
[08:19] <IndyGunFreak> but yea, thats it.

[08:19] <gigabytes> !usplash
[08:19] <ubotu> To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[08:19] <GrowlZ> RustyJames: That seems to dump all packages, whether installed or not, and apt-cache --installed doesn't help that
[08:20] <koolrans> i do not see any title bar for graphical applications
[08:20] <finalbeta> !nvidia
[08:20] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:20] <IndyGunFreak> Crescendo: is that a wireless PCI card?
[08:20] <CaptainFrisbee> konam: and you did hdparm /dev/sdc0 ?
[08:20] <DARKGuy> hey guys, is there a way to get the IP of a hostname in my network? say, vncviewer requires IP and works with the IP but not with the hostname... how can I get the IP of a hostname ?
[08:20] <Battaglia> will ubuntu run on 256mb 1.5ghz?
[08:20] <konam> CaptainFrisbee yes
[08:21] <Noble> hey, is there anything i have to do after adding a module to /etc/modules? I have a module that loads if I do insmod, but won't load at boot
[08:21] <Crescendo> IndyGunFreak, nope, it's built in to the laptop
[08:21] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok.
[08:21] <CaptainFrisbee> konam: I think you should use sdparm (it's an external USB?)
[08:21] <Crescendo> IndyGunFreak, found this in my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:  # buggy driver causes kernel BUG on load (Ubuntu: #78255, #88430)
[08:22] <konam> CaptainFrisbee no, is not usb. i use sdparm and it didn't work
[08:22] <Crescendo> And "r818x" is blacklisted
[08:22] <RustyJames> GrowlZ, ah i thought it would work, havent tried it yet
[08:22] <IndyGunFreak> Crescendo: i know very little about wireless, so i'm not sure.
[08:22] <Crescendo> BUT I can't test that solution, and it looks like someone else did to no avail
[08:22] <IndyGunFreak> Crescendo: wel,l unblack list it, you're on tyhe live CD, so it shouldn't be to big a deal, worst that happens is you restart
[08:22] <GrowlZ> RustyJames: Yeah - the man page makes it sound like it should work, but no such luck
[08:22] <Crescendo> Can't change blacklist without rebooting
[08:22] <konam> CaptainFrisbee in the paste i send you. it didn't say nothing about dma, that means that its disable right?
[08:23] <koolrans> can anyone help with window title bar
[08:23] <Crescendo> I'm going to give ndiswrapper a shot, and if that doesn't work, I'm going to send her back to Vista... ;_;
[08:23] <koolrans> i can no longer see it
[08:23] <mikebot> Is Totem the best DVD player?
[08:23] <IndyGunFreak> Crescendo: ndiswrapper should do the trick
[08:23] <konam> CaptainFrisbee here is it http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31575/ this is from a hdd
[08:23] <pete83> GrowlZ: did you "apt-get apt-show-versions"?
[08:23] <gigabytes> hello
[08:23] <cyberphaz> i prefer vlc for dvd playing
[08:23] <cntrlx> Does anyone have any experence with Intel C++ compiler on ubuntu?
[08:23] <CaptainFrisbee> konam: it should say dma=0, or dma=1
[08:23] <finalbeta> What's the name of that nvidia driver installer someone made for ubuntu?
[08:24] <gigabytes> I can't change the background image of the usplash
[08:24] <PriceChild> finalbeta, restricted driver manager
[08:24] <PriceChild> finalbeta, system > admin > restricted driver manager
[08:24] <gigabytes> I followed the howto but instead of my wallpaper I get some strange coloured rectangles
[08:24] <CaptainFrisbee> konam: will be back in 5min
[08:24] <kekos> hi, anyone knows how I can install the DIVX plugin for Firefox????
[08:24] <konam> CaptainFrisbee ok
[08:24] <pete83> GrowlZ: oops, put an install in there
[08:24] <enez> is there a way to make the taskbar 2 rows in gnome?
[08:24] <mikebot> Or, rather, when I play DVDs in Totem, the video is very messed up--I downloaded a codec the first time I opened it, but do I need something else?
[08:24] <GrowlZ> pete83: I had Synaptic open anyway, so no problem on that count :)
[08:25] <devang> kekos you need a generic one like mplayer or totem
[08:25] <dyrne> finalbeta: its pretty straight forward just to use the nvidia.sh installer from their website also if the package doesnt work
[08:25] <Kejan> hello
[08:25] <GrowlZ> pete83: Perfect! I'm sure I can mangle the result with some kind of hideous script: thank you
[08:25] <Kejan> anyone have issues re: SD/MMC card TI on a Presario R3000?
[08:25] <gigabytes> anyone can help me?
[08:26] <kekos> devang : I already have them, but they dont work with this webpage
[08:26] <finalbeta> PriceChild: dyrne thnx, it's for a friend, I don't have nvidia, but he's using Fiesty, when he enables desktop effects, it tels him he needs to enable or install the other driver, when he does, he needs to reboot en noting changed.
[08:26] <finalbeta> Don't know how much is true of what he said, just wanna give him some pointers.
[08:26] <novato_br> Playing uT = jogando UT
[08:26] <genii> argh
[08:26] <pete83> GrowlZ: in the man page, it says you could even use it like: apt-get install apt-show-versions -b -u'
[08:26] <devang> kekos: I have problems with playing .divx files on any Linux so try installing the firefox plugin too if you  want
[08:26] <PriceChild> finalbeta, it may not appear that nothing has changed... but tell him to go to that again and check they're enabled
[08:27] <GrowlZ> pete83: Yeah, I see that. This looks like exactly what I need. Thanks for your help
[08:27] <gigabytes> can anyone help me with the usplash?
[08:27] <kekos> ok
[08:27] <Kejan> SD/MMC issues here...need help
[08:27] <Silas2488> why are all my 3d games so laggy?

[08:28] <PriceChild> Silas2488, please tell me the output of glxinfo | grep Direct
[08:28] <DARKGuy> hey guys, is there a way to get the IP of a hostname in my network? say, vncviewer requires IP and works with the IP but not with the hostname... how can I get the IP of a hostname ?
[08:28] <PriceChild> DARKGuy, ifconfig
[08:28] <cntrlx> If anyone could help me with Intel C compiler please do :D
[08:28] <GrowlZ> This laptop works suspiciously well. I'm having minor problems with the external LCD, but apart from that everything's fine - onboard sound, SD card reader, graphics card, the works
[08:28] <DARKGuy> PriceChild: remotely?
[08:28] <Silas2488> PriceChild, how do i dothat?
[08:28] <mmmiiikkkeee> I am sick of my
[08:28] <Kejan> how can I see if card reader drivers? are loading??
[08:28] <finalbeta> DARKGuy: ping the hostname, it will resolve
[08:28] <PriceChild> DARKGuy, No.
[08:28] <DARKGuy> finalbeta: doesn't work
[08:29] <GrowlZ> The installation was a horrendous disaster, but hopefully that can be fixed for the next release
[08:29] <DARKGuy> PriceChild: um, do you know how to, remotely?
[08:29] <PriceChild> Silas2488, just copy and paste that into a terminal, and then tell me what it says back
[08:29] <finalbeta> DARKGuy: then you can't get the ip
[08:29] <PriceChild> DARKGuy, no... because you don't know where you're going
[08:29] <koolrans> can anyone help
[08:29] <koolrans> i am having troubles with display
[08:29] <Silas2488> PriceChild, how do i find it out?
[08:29] <devang> can I compile programs I wrote in c++ with terminal or do I need to download a program?
[08:29] <crdlb> PriceChild, lowercase d in direct :)
[08:29] <koolrans> I just enabled nvidia drivers and saved the conf
[08:29] <koolrans> now I am not able to open terminal
[08:29] <DARKGuy> finalbeta, PriceChild: er, okay, let me rephrase... I'm trying to get the IP of a computer in my local LAN... if Windows can using Advanced IP Scanner, why Linux can't?
[08:29] <PriceChild> thanks crdlb
[08:29] <koolrans> it is just white
[08:29] <Pici> DARKGuy: If you have a dns name you can `dig hostname`  But otherwise you'll need nbtscan.  I dont know the exact syntax to use that, but it should work.
[08:30] <PriceChild> Silas2488, copy that exact text "glxinfo | grep direct" into a terminal
[08:30] <cntrlx> !Intel C++ Compiler
[08:30] <Pici> DARKGuy: nbtscan is in the repos.

[08:31] <devang> !compile > devang
[08:31] <koolrans> thanks
[08:31] <crackerbox> is there a way to compile a bash script into a binary executable?
[08:31] <wckdkl0wn> is anyone in here familiar with commandline ftp?
[08:31] <Noble> I have a module that loads if I do insmod, but won't load at boot, even though i added it to /etc/modules
[08:31] <Kejan> pici: thanks
[08:31] <DARKGuy> Pici: that worked, thanks :D
[08:31] <Silas2488> PriceChild: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS400 [Radeon Xpress 200M] 
[08:32] <Pici> wckdkl0wn: Yes.
[08:32] <Kejan> PriceChild: feisty and cant get card reader workingso want to dual boot
[08:32] <stefg> Ranpha1: either you are lucky ny renaming it, or you have to use a diskmonitor to reassemble the file (basically thsi means byebye to the file)
[08:32] <pete83> mmmiiikkkeee: reviews of linux video cards and their drivers available at:    http://www.phoronix.com/
[08:32] <Kejan> I enjoy the punishment of M$
[08:32] <b4l74z4r> i was wondering: when you mark something for uninstall in the add/remove menu in the applications folder, is that the equivalent to the synaptic package managers removal or complete removal?
[08:32] <PriceChild> Right Silas2488 you will need to install the fglrx drivers.
[08:32] <wckdkl0wn> Pici, ok i have a file i want to have linux automatically upload to a ftp server at midnight everyday. and override the current one
[08:32] <dozpazoz> hi
[08:32] <PriceChild> Silas2488, I am unsure whether they will work with your card... but "/msg ubotu ati" for details
[08:32] <Silas2488> PriceChild, is that something hard to do?
[08:32] <stuart-> is ubuntu's default BT client java?
[08:32] <Crescendo> No patch for kernel crashes while using any implementation of the driver at this point, so she's going back to Windows Vista
[08:32] <ConstyXIV> stuart-: no, python
[08:33] <giblet> stuart-: ewww
[08:33] <dozpazoz> how do I do to fix grub? I jus wanna insall GRUB no a  re-install
[08:33] <Silas2488> ubotu
[08:33] <dozpazoz> that simple
[08:33] <giblet> stuart-: Ubuntu doesn't try to make the distribution a bloated pos
[08:33] <stuart-> ConstyXIV, oh. was wondering cos i think it takes up quite an amount of resources when i run it
[08:33] <stefg> !grub
[08:33] <giblet> stuart: think good, think Python ;)
[08:33] <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
[08:33] <ConstyXIV> dozpazoz: i think it's grub-install
[08:33] <Pici> wckdkl0wn: I actually have a script that does that.  Let me give you a link.
[08:33] <Ranpha1> stefg : well it's was a truecrypt container file size is the correct amount.... but couldn't uncrypt it
[08:33] <stuart-> or maybe that's what i feel
[08:33] <devang> Crescendo: Tell her she's going to get hacked in 10 seconds without a firewall if she's on the internet with Vista
[08:33] <ConstyXIV> me <3 python
[08:33] <stuart-> giblet, i hate java as well
[08:34] <Crescendo> Well, there's no point to having a laptop if she can't have Wireless
[08:34] <finalbeta> Java is great :(
[08:34] <jspiers> hey folks, i'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 on an Asus G2P laptop. i'm using the alternate install CD because the graphical installation will not work. the installation gets to 75% and then hangs on installing the wvdial package. anyone know of a way of getting around this? or will i have to resort to using another linux distro? thanks
[08:34] <devang> Crescendo: try SIDUX it ran some wireless stuff that other distros didn't
[08:34] <stefg> Ranpha1: so blocks got swapped around, or whatever. Looks bad
[08:34] <jrad_> Hi, I got a problem with my desktop display ...everything is explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=499910
[08:34] <dozpazoz> ConstyXIV: from where, from the LiveCD or Alternate?
[08:34] <Crescendo> Is it as user friendly as Ubuntu?
[08:34] <PriceChild> jspiers, did you md5sum the cd, or make it run a check on itself to ensure it is burnt correctly?
[08:34] <ConstyXIV> dozpazoz: what?
[08:34] <wckdkl0wn> Pici, would i add that script to the cron?
[08:34] <Pici> wckdkl0wn: http://nullcortex.com/irclogs/puthtml.txt   This is what I use to upload html files automatically to my server. You'll obviously have to change some of the code to reflect your own situation, but it'll give you a base to work off of.
[08:34] <devang> Crescendo: dunno haven't tried it just heard of it.. burn the live cd
[08:35] <stefg> !verify | jspiers
[08:35] <ubotu> jspiers: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[08:35] <neverblue> koolrans, your using Beryl?
[08:35] <PriceChild> jspiers, and I would also suggest you try one last time
[08:35] <Ranpha1> stefg ...oh why do i hate windows so much you expect when you shutdown the comp it shutdowns normal ....fgrrrr
[08:35] <Pici> wckdkl0wn: I have mine setup as a cron job.
[08:35] <mikebot> Can someone help me unscramble DVDs in Totem?
[08:35] <PriceChild> !dvd | mikebot
[08:35] <ubotu> mikebot: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[08:35] <jspiers> PriceChild: yes i checked it. it installed fine on a virtual machine through Vista, but it just won't install on its own
[08:35] <mikebot> PriceChild: Did that stuff.
[08:35] <koolrans> no
[08:35] <koolrans> i havent done with berl
[08:35] <jspiers> PriceChild: I've tried several times...it hangs every time
[08:35] <koolrans> i just have the defaul installation
[08:35] <GrowlZ> Right! I have some packages to install, I think
[08:35] <neverblue> koolrans, are you sure?
[08:35] <PriceChild> jspiers, I don't know then sorry
[08:35] <GrowlZ> Thanks to all of you for your help
[08:36] <jspiers> PriceChild: Ok thanks
[08:36] <ConstyXIV> mikebot: i usually use vlc to play dvds, it works
[08:36] <PriceChild> mikebot, and still you can't watch dvds?
[08:36] <Noble> can someone helo? I have a module that loads if I do insmod, but won't load at boot, even though i added it to /etc/modules
[08:36] <koolrans> how can i check if i have beryl
[08:36] <mikebot> ConstyXIV: I'll try that
[08:36] <neverblue> koolrans, the icon is a 'red diamond'
[08:36] <stefg> Ranpha1: depending on how much time you're willing to spent it might be possible to recover. But you need /lots/ of time and expertise. I could not do it
[08:36] <mikebot> PriceChild: I followed the two webpages, but didn't get the file ubotu says to
[08:36] <Kejan> How do I get to being a ROOT user instead of just me?
[08:36] <koolrans> which icon?
[08:36] <PriceChild> koolrans, you know when you have it. If you are unsure then i guess you don't ;)
[08:36] <CaptainFrisbee> konam: could you try: hdparm -d /dev/cdrom
[08:36] <neverblue> Kejan, sudo su
[08:36] <koolrans> :)
[08:36] <mrsno> crackerbox by 'binary' do you mean executable ? as in chmod +x script
[08:36] <c2c2rock-puptop> ok Xorg is giving me trouble i tried to get this issue resolved in kubuntu yesterday and tody maybe i will have better luck here
[08:36] <neverblue> koolrans, you have it?
[08:37] <koolrans> i do not think so
[08:37] <neverblue> c2c2rock-puptop, | pastebin
[08:37] <fellacious> does ubuntu have any hardware diagnostics?  i think my computer is haunted
[08:37] <c2c2rock-puptop> paste
[08:37] <c2c2rock-puptop> whast
[08:37] <Pici> !paste | c2c2rock-puptop
[08:37] <ubotu> c2c2rock-puptop: 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)
[08:37] <ConstyXIV> Kejan: sudo passwd root, if you really want it
[08:37] <neverblue> koolrans, sudo -ps | grep beryl
[08:37] <neverblue> koolrans, see if you have an output
[08:37] <ConstyXIV> fellacious: it's got memtest
[08:37] <c2c2rock-puptop> i am using another computer and have no way to paste without X
[08:37] <fellacious> ya
[08:37] <fellacious> memtest si nice
[08:37] <neverblue> thanks Pici, miss fired :/
[08:37] <koolrans> nope
[08:37] <pete83> fellacious: it probably is simply haunted. In that case, you know who you gonna call.
[08:37] <fellacious> and came up clear
[08:38] <PriceChild> mikebot, http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/free/libd/libdvdcss2/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1plf3_i386.deb
[08:38] <koolrans> i do not have it

[08:38] <neverblue> koolrans, so what is the issue, what are you usin, Gnome, KDE?
[08:38] <fellacious> im thinking about the processor or motherboard
[08:38] <koolrans> I am using GNome
[08:38] <fellacious> it randomly segfaults and stuff
[08:38] <mikebot> PriceChild: Thanks.
[08:38] <ConstyXIV> Kejan: did you try sudo gparted?
[08:38] <koolrans> I think it is OK for now
[08:38] <neverblue> Kejan, sorry?
[08:38] <crolle17> i want to use brasero but get message: device cannot be blocked (when trying to burn). can somebody give me an hint?
[08:38] <fellacious> sry gtg
[08:38] <neverblue> koolrans, what is missing? is this a new install?
[08:39] <Kejan> ConstyXIV: yes, but no options to resize disk
[08:39] <koolrans> every now and then, I loose the title bar on all windows
[08:39] <wckdkl0wn> Pici, wouldnt i save that as a .sh file?
[08:39] <neverblue> koolrans, new install?
[08:39] <koolrans> and at the same time, I am not able to open the gnome terminal
[08:39] <wckdkl0wn> Pici, instead of .txt
[08:39] <mikebot> ConstyXIV: Can't get video with VLC.
[08:39] <koolrans> I just enabled nvidia restricted drivers
[08:40] <Pici> wckdkl0wn: Doesnt really matter actually, as long as its chmod'ed +x
[08:40] <pete83> kooltrans: using beryl or compiz?
[08:40] <koolrans> and changed the resolution to 1280 x 1024
[08:40] <mikebot> PriceChild: Works, thanks.
[08:40] <neverblue> koolrans, but you put a new video card in your system?
[08:40] <wckdkl0wn> Pici, ok
[08:40] <koolrans> no
[08:40] <Pici> wckdkl0wn: But sh would make more sense ;)  I just didnt want to play around with my webserver's mime types
[08:40] <koolrans> it is the onboard graphics
[08:40] <neverblue> koolrans, why are you enabling the nvidia restricted drivers?
[08:40] <Zaibot> How can I install drivers for my ATI gfx?
[08:40] <superjedi> ........
[08:40] <neverblue> oh rihgt, on board, forgot
[08:40] <rockets> Hey, when I try to login, it says GDM could not write to your authorization file and then it puts me back on the login screen. what do i do/
[08:40] <blazemonger> how do i installl KDE in ubuntu?
[08:41] <koolrans> it was working with lower resolution and I read somewhere that enabling nvidia drivers
[08:41] <blazemonger> without using kubuntu-desktop
[08:41] <rockets> blazemonger: sudo apt-get install kde-base
[08:41] <koolrans> should allow me a higher resoltion
[08:41] <wckdkl0wn> Pici, couldnt i set a webserver up on my pc and just skip that whole upload thing and share it from my pc?
[08:41] <NekoKun> how to recursively delete all files that don't match the pattern?
[08:41] <koolrans> i am using compiz
[08:41] <howlingmadhowi1> koolrans: i know this problem: try adding --> Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"  <--to the "screen" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:41] <neverblue> koolrans, #ubuntu-effects
[08:41] <Pici> wckdkl0wn: You could, you asked for a way to upload ftp files automagically though ;)
[08:41] <Matenda> Now i am leaving windows in about 2 hours :D ... i just need to convert my outlook mails/todo-lists to evolution ... anyone got any sugestions ?
[08:42] <YoG_> how do I mount swap on boot?
[08:42] <wckdkl0wn> Pici, yea i know lol but once u said webserver it got me to thinking
[08:42] <clearzen> rockets: did you change permissions on your filesystem?
[08:42] <rockets> clearzen: not as far as i know
[08:42] <howlingmadhowi1> Matenda: if i remember correctly, you should go to outlook and export all your mails in a format which other programs can read.
[08:42] <jrad_> Hi! I have a machine with two Linux installations and one Windows installation (no laptop). The affected installation I am talking here about is Kubuntu Feisty 7.04.The problem in Feisty is: the area where X displays KDE is smaller than the screen itself. There are two quite big black areas above and below the area which X displays. This behaviour occured already while the Live CD was running, and continued during the installation process, and is
[08:42] <jrad_> still there after the installation of Feisty
[08:42] <rockets> clearzen: the permissions on my home directory are zach zach
[08:42] <rockets> my username is zcah
[08:42] <koolrans> neverblue, thanks
[08:42] <rockets> zach
[08:42] <jrad_> But in my two other installations (Beyond Linux from Scratch and Windows), there are no big black areas above and below the area which X or Microsoft Windows shows. The GUI of BLfS and Microsoft is properly displayed.
[08:43] <Kejan> Can I boot straight into a root opposed to myself (non-root)?
[08:43] <rockets> clearzen: where exactley is my authorization file?
[08:43] <koolrans> howlingmadhowil, thanks for the informatoin. I will try it out.
[08:43] <neverblue> koolrans, good luck
[08:43] <c2c2rock-puptop> ok ssh into ubuntu now how to cut and paste from console I have no idea
[08:43] <crolle17> does somebody here use brasero for burning?
[08:43] <blazemonger> [so i rust install kde-base and it'l give kde
[08:43] <Davy_Jones> c2c2rock-puptop: cut and past files?
[08:43] <dozpazoz> !opera
[08:43] <ubotu> opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[08:43] <howlingmadhowi1> c2c2rock-puptop: ctrl+shift+c = cut, ctrl+shift+v = paste
[08:43] <Matenda> howlingmadhowi1 do you know which format is the one that i have to use ?
[08:43] <b4l74z4r> does removing stuff with the add/remove function in the applications menu completely remove an application along with all the configuration files like the complete removal option in synaptic does?
[08:43] <rockets> clearzen: never mind i think im just out of disk space
[08:44] <clearzen> rockets: Yeah, delete your /tmp folder and it will let you login
[08:44] <howlingmadhowi1> Matenda: what options does it offer?
[08:44] <wckdkl0wn> howlingmadhowi1, that wont work in terminal u have to highlight with mouse and right click
[08:44] <crackerbox> What would be the best way to perform some lines of code from a bash script in a compiled binary file?
[08:44] <clearzen>  rockets: at least the contents of the /tmp folder anyway
[08:44] <Zaibot> How can I install drivers for my ATI gfx?
[08:44] <howlingmadhowi1> wckdkl0wn: the terminal uses emacs syntax. you can mark and cut like in emacs
[08:45] <wckdkl0wn> howlingmadhowi1, oh sry i misread u said crtl + shift... i keep leaving out the shift part
[08:45] <rockets> Zaibot: restricted manager
[08:46] <Matenda> howlingmadhowi1 DOS, Windows, Microsoft Acsess, Microsoft Excel
[08:46] <Matenda> howlingmadhowi1 And .pst
[08:46] <Davy_Jones> vi and emacs are too geeky.. DOS editor for the win
[08:46] <howlingmadhowi1> Matenda: it's possible that DOS is a straightforward mail dump. try it with one mail and open it in a text editor
[08:46] <Depressure> am i an idiot if i want to compile/install glib??
[08:46] <CaptainFrisbee> jrad_ : what kind of graphics hardware do you have?
[08:47] <jumbers> I am trying to connect to my TI-89 Titanium and I am getting the following error from TiLP: Msg: Error occurred while initializing the libusb. What could be causing this?
[08:47] <Chousuke> Depressure: glib? not necessarily.
[08:47] <Davy_Jones> Depressure: you'll be an idiot if you install stuff you don't need
[08:47] <jrad_> thanks, Captain .. nvidia .. details, just a moment, please
[08:47] <Matenda> howlingmadhowi1 i will try to experiment a little bit with it ... thanks ... :)
[08:47] <Chousuke> Depressure: though on Ubuntu you'd probably just break almost everything
[08:47] <dozpazoz> w00t
[08:47] <jrad_> Captain, I have a RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro
[08:47] <Matenda> i have one more question.... can i have my secondare drive with NTFS and read it with ubuntu ?
[08:48] <mrsno> crackerbox have you looked into encrypted filesystem booting?
[08:48] <dozpazoz> any kewl things that I might wanna install?
[08:48] <c2c2rock-puptop> ok where do i paste this now
[08:48] <Matenda> or can i convert it to EXT X
[08:48] <jrad_> Captain, I applied http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest...#NOTES_SECTION
[08:48] <mrsno> so if the usb pen is stolen, noone should be able to either read the contents, or brute force the encrypted password
[08:48] <dozpazoz> something kewl that   I am missing?
[08:48] <howlingmadhowi1> Matenda: emails are actually pure text files (that's everything that is defined in the RFC for SMTP and POP3). you should be able to get the mail saved in this format
[08:48] <crackerbox> mrsno- no i havent heard of that
[08:48] <rockets> That's really not cool that you can't login if you run out of disk space
[08:48] <neverblue> pastebin | c2c2rock-puptop
[08:48] <rockets> what would a non-geek do?
[08:48] <mrsno> crackerbox one sec
[08:48] <eolhyte> Is it possible to minimize the active window from the command line ?
[08:48] <jrad_> Captain, if you want to read the whole story, here it is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=499910
[08:49] <rockets> It's not fair to expect a non-geek to drop to the terminal and know how to free up space
[08:49] <mrsno> crackerbox please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystem for an example, but i would search on the wiki for encrypted and see more
[08:49] <c2c2rock-puptop> f'
[08:49] <dozpazoz> hi a typing speed program?
[08:49] <mrsno> as there are many options for full disk encryption :)
[08:49] <CaptainFrisbee> jrad_ : ok i will look at the forum thread
[08:49] <crackerbox> mrsno- thats not exactly what im looking for... i just want to prevent the system from booting from someone elses USB stick... so basically just a copy prevention method
[08:49] <clearzen> rockets: I guess you could write a script to automatically free up space from the tmp folders in case that happened.
[08:49] <dozpazoz> I need a n00b typing program, you someone who needs to practice shift+letter to put the capitals
[08:49] <dozpazoz> and so
[08:49] <jrad_> Captain, thanks a lot ... ;)
[08:49] <dozpazoz> and increase the speed
[08:49] <dozpazoz> you know
[08:49] <dozpazoz> thanks
[08:50] <howlingmadhowi1> rockets: well, if you run out of diskspace, it's fair to assume that something has to give

[08:52] <Noble> hey I got my nvidia drivers to work! I have compiz running now!.... but... why don't I have a control bar at the top of my windows anymore?
[08:52] <TerroriSta> mm, my question is, why does the extra-unsupported and unofficial plugins of compiz-fusion do not show on the compizconfig manager after being installed?

[08:54] <dozpazoz> I did all medibuntu stuff
[08:54] <Depressure> do i need to install glib to get gtk+ 2x to work??
[08:54] <jasu> i tried using chkdsk /r with windows cd, but it only said that it cannot fix the problem
[08:54] <howlingmadhowi1> crackerbox: best to write the program in perl or another scripting language. they it'll be a lot faster than a bash script
[08:54] <ConstyXIV> dozpazoz: install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package
[08:54] <MOTIVEM> Is there somewhere specific I should ask about getting Winamp to work on Ubuntu 7.04?
[08:55] <fsckr> MOTIVEM: google it
[08:55] <vzduch> MOTIVEM: what on earth do you want w/ Winamp?
[08:55] <ConstyXIV> MOTIVEM: don't, use xmms or banshee instead
[08:55] <clearzen> MOTIVEM: try vlc
[08:55] <bjames> hi all, I've just managed to get wake on LAN working on my server PC running Ubuntu - my only problem is that the setting I used is not persistent across reboots.  How do I make the following change persistant:    sudo ethtool -s eth1 g
[08:55] <tom33> MOTIVEM: have you tried wine?
[08:55] <bjames> ??
[08:55] <dozpazoz> ConstyXIV: I think I have like half of that already the other stuff on that package is mostly gstreamer and Gnome stuff
[08:55] <MOTIVEM> I have Xmms
[08:55] <neverblue> c2c2rock-puptop, what is the issue?
[08:55] <MOTIVEM> I cant get wine to work
[08:55] <bjames> is there a config file somewhere?
[08:55] <c2c2rock-puptop> hly i tried that and it didn't work and yes i tried to start X
[08:55] <eldkraft> anyone here know a good/complete guide of unix commands?
[08:55] <ConstyXIV> dozpazoz: that'll just fill all of it in
[08:55] <clearzen> MOTIVEM: xmms has a winamp skin btw
[08:55] <CaptainFrisbee> konam: could you put the output of dmesg in a pastebin?
[08:55] <c2c2rock-puptop> well it started out
[08:55] <crackerbox> howling: i just need about 10 lines of a bash script to be compiled into any binary form where that code would not be plain text
[08:55] <neverblue> c2c2rock-puptop, all in one line please
[08:56] <dozpazoz> ConstyXIV: but in KDE there's nothing gstreamer dependent
[08:56] <c2c2rock-puptop> 00i was getting only 800x66
[08:56] <howlingmadhowi1> bjames: easiest would be to add it to rc3.d or similar
[08:56] <c2c2rock-puptop> 600
[08:56] <fsckr> where do i go to change my fonts for my panels? like where applications>Places etc. etc. is?
[08:56] <bjames> howlingmadhowi1: ok - I'll give that a try
[08:56] <MOTIVEM> I dont want the skin, I want to use the XM music streams. I would rather not switch over to XP to just use Winamp.
[08:56] <howlingmadhowi1> crackerbox: to the best of my knowledge, you can't compile bash scripts.
[08:56] <c2c2rock-puptop> but now i cannot get X whatsoever
[08:56] <bjames> howling: where is that file?
[08:56] <neverblue> c2c2rock-puptop, all in one line please
[08:57] <clearzen> MOTIVEM: ummm, I guess you could use wine. I never have tried to get winamp to work though.
[08:57] <mrsno> crackerbox all i can think of, is if security is a problem with this computer, can't someone mearly unplug the usb drive ? if they have physical access already
[08:57] <howlingmadhowi1> bjames: it's a folder in /etc. the rcX.d folders contain scripts which are run when you change from one runlevel to another
[08:57] <crackerbox> but you can perform command line operations from programs written in another language, right?
[08:57] <askand> Anyone here ants to try my youtubedownloader? See what works and dont
[08:57] <howlingmadhowi1> crackerbox: oh yes. with perl it's absolutely trivial
[08:57] <IndyGunFreak> I'm manually edting a hard drive w/ vista to install Ubuntu(LONG STORY), should i set the swap partition boot flag as bootable on, or off?
[08:57] <ries_> Hey Gys, how do I set a colors shell using ssh?
[08:57] <neverblue> c2c2rock-puptop, why are you editing your xorg.cong to change your screen res?
[08:57] <fsckr> ive had winamp opening up in wine but remember having some issues with it
[08:57] <fsckr> that was awhile ago though
[08:57] <c2c2rock-puptop> after install i get only 800x600 when i rty to fix it it doesn't work  i cannot get X whatsoever now
[08:57] <c2c2rock-puptop> YES

[08:58] <bjames> howling: is there no config file for this?
[08:58] <neverblue> c2c2rock-puptop, fucxkds?
[08:58] <c2c2rock-puptop> nm I will figure this out myself this room is driving me NUTS
[08:58] <crolle17> why the device could be blocked or better how to free it?
[08:58] <bjames> I mean these are init scripts yes?  can I not edit a config instead
[08:59] <CaptainFrisbee> jrad_ : did you what kind of driver did you use with the other installations? (LFS)
[08:59] <dozpazoz> crolle17: what does brasero-problem?
[08:59] <ConstyXIV> MOTIVEM: http://music.aol.com/radioguide/bb, you'll have to get a firefox extension to mask as firefox for xp though
[08:59] <jrad_> Captain, hm, I cannot look that up right now, because I am not within the ubuntu installation.
[08:59] <teer2> With Ubuntu Linux taking off and getting commercial support, it is more important than ever that Ubuntu maintainers pass all the information they can back to Debian maintainers so everyone in the Free Software community can benefit from Ubuntu's advances!
[08:59] <dozpazoz> WTF??!! ---> md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[08:59] <dozpazoz> The Flash plugin is NOT installed.
[08:59] <howlingmadhowi1> bjames: just add your own script to rc3.d and call it S<2 numbers><name>
[09:00] <kanuha> need help starting Folding At Home from the GNOME panel (application launcher)
[09:00] <MOTIVEM> Thanks
[09:00] <dozpazoz> is that another of Ubuntu dirty tricks to cripple users expericne?
[09:00] <crolle17> i get error message when trying start to burn: the device cannot be blocked.
[09:00] <crackerbox> mrsno - I would like to distribute this USB stick to clients... for them to use them on their own computers... but I want to prevent some kid who knows nothing about linux from ghosting one of my client's sticks to his own stick and getting an unauthorized usb stick.  Checking the serail number during boot and then terminating the boot process if the numbers dont match is how I am accomplishing this...
[09:00] <clearzen> dozpazoz: download it again. There was a problem last time it couldn't be verified
[09:00] <ConstyXIV> dozpazoz: just directly copy the file to firefox/opera's plugin dir
[09:00] <dozpazoz> clearzen: it happened in several installations I made already
[09:00] <teer2> dozpazoz: Flash Player for Linux was only just recently released by Adobe.
[09:00] <Ahmed-Bahaa> hi guys i have a blutooth connection but i dun kno how to make it work on ubuntu
[09:00] <jrad_> Captain, I also assumed that the driver in my LFS installation is an older one than the nvidia driver in my ubuntu installation.
[09:00] <crolle17> dozpazoz, so i assume the device is locked by something (another app)?
[09:01] <clearzen> dozpazoz: Where are you getting that file from?
[09:01] <Ahmed-Bahaa> any help ?!
[09:01] <bjames> howling: are these boot scripts run with root privileges?
[09:01] <mrsno> crackerbox can i ask what is so special on this disk, that you do not wish it to be distributed?
[09:01] <CaptainFrisbee> jrad_ : is buying a better graphics card an option? The support from nvidia is only going to get worse
[09:01] <TheProphet[S] > Hi all

[09:01] <howlingmadhowi1> bjames: yep
[09:01] <Ahmed-Bahaa> TheProphet[S] : hi
[09:01] <jrad_> Captain: but when I try to compile the nvidia driver manually, I get an error in ubuntu. Cannot remember right now.
[09:01] <bjames> cheers ;)
[09:01] <teer2> dozpazoz: Adobe has chosen not to release Flash Player for Linux x86_64, for one thing, so how can Ubuntu include it with their distro?
[09:01] <crackerbox> about 200 hours of specailization and customization
[09:01] <Ahmed-Bahaa> so !!
[09:02] <clearzen> dozpazoz: if you want flash support the easiest way to do that would be sudo aptitude install flash-nonfree
[09:02] <Nergar> hello
[09:02] <ConstyXIV> crackerbox: it's called GPG
[09:02] <TheProphet[S] > is there a package similar to easyubuntu to get all the codecs and files I need to run DVDs etc?
[09:02] <jrad_> Captain; I meant, when I try to compile a nvidia driver which works in LFS ...
[09:02] <dozpazoz> teer2: I have 32bit
[09:02] <CaptainFrisbee> jrad_ : it sounds that you have had an awful lot of trouble with that tnt card
[09:02] <sebrock> why is the alsa-base included in the server installation? and how can I remove all alsa related stuff?
[09:02] <Nergar> i have a question
[09:02] <dozpazoz> clearzen: oh ok
[09:02] <ConstyXIV> TheProphet[S] : ubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:02] <jrad_> Captain, could be yes ;)
[09:02] <dozpazoz> why aptitude? CAm
[09:02] <dozpazoz> Can't I use apt-get?
[09:02] <TheProphet[S] > for feisty fawn I forgot to mention, pardon me
[09:02] <runge> hi I have a question about libmtp. I have a new mp3 player (clix2) that does not seem to work in Feisty. there is a newer version of Libmtp in gutsy, is there a easy way to install that version?
[09:02] <clearzen> dozpazoz: aptitude will not leave orphaned packages among other things
[09:02] <teer2> dozpazoz: Do you see why it can't be an Ubuntu "dirty trick" as you say?
[09:02] <ConstyXIV> TheProphet[S] : that's only in feisty and above
[09:02] <clearzen> dozpazoz: but yes you can
[09:02] <crolle17> dozpazoz, do you know a solution?
[09:02] <Ahmed-Bahaa> need help to make my bluetooth connection work
[09:02] <crackerbox> consty: im afraid that really wouldnt work
[09:03] <CaptainFrisbee> jrad_ : a cheap geforce card on ebay won't be very expensive
[09:03] <howlingmadhowi1> runge: no, that's quite tricky, i'm afraid.
[09:03] <jrad_> Captain, currently I cannot reproduce the compile error when trying to compile am nvidia driver, because X is running here ;)
[09:03] <askand> Anyone here wants to try my youtubedownloader? See what works and dont
[09:03] <TheProphet[S] > ConstyXIV: do I find it on Synaptic?
[09:03] <dozpazoz> teer2: I am very suspicious. I am pretty sure Ubuntu is up to something...
[09:03] <dozpazoz> I can sense it
[09:03] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: a firefox plugin?
[09:03] <runge> howlingmadhowi1, its windows then for me :( thanks for your quick response!
[09:03] <ConstyXIV> TheProphet[S] : just go to applications->Add/Remove Programs (or synaptic if you rather), look for ubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:03] <Nergar> when i create a user with "useradd" that user can't access the audio device, why? but if i create it with System>Administration>Users and Groups, i never have this problem
[09:03] <clearzen> dozpazoz: You have to have the correct repo in your sources.list of course though
[09:03] <teer2> dozpazoz: Wait for Gnash to come out in Gutsy, it is a Free Software alternative to Flash
[09:04] <Ahmed-Bahaa> ??????????????
[09:04] <dozpazoz> I knew IT!! Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "flash-nonfree"
[09:04] <TheProphet[S] > ConstyXIV: thanks very much!
[09:04] <kanuha> need help launching Folding At Home from the GNOME panel. I launch it like this in a terminal ./FAH504-Linux.exe, but doesn't work from a launcher, ??
[09:04] <askand> howlingmadhowi1: no..graphical frontend for youtube-dl
[09:04] <clearzen> dozpazoz: hang on I'll get you the repo
[09:04] <howlingmadhowi1> runge: the packages in feisty are designed to work well together. you could do the following: change your packet sources to gutsy, refresch the apt-cache, install teh package you want.
[09:04] <crackerbox> i think all i need to do is write a little c++ code that runs this command line code: "SERIAL0=$(cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage/0 | grep Serial | sed -e 's/Serial Number: //')"
[09:04] <Ahmed-Bahaa> so guys just need  a minute :D
[09:04] <vexati0n> hey, cool.. compiz-fusion works better when you don't use packages from a crappy repo
[09:04] <ConstyXIV> i use miro if i want to d/l youtube stuffs
[09:04] <howlingmadhowi1> runge: by doing that, you could however break something badly
[09:04] <vzduch> dozpazoz: it's called flashplayer-nonfree resp. flashplugin-nonfree
[09:04] <jrad_> Captain: but the problem seems to be NOT nvidia driver related, because: the problem also occurs when using the built-in driber "nv" (which is part of xorg)

[09:05] <francis> could someone please tell me how I could change the usplash theme . I compiled a mac like usplash.so , how do i apply it
[09:05] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: so i can go to a site and copy the url to your program and it will download the video content on this url?
[09:05] <runge> howlingmadhowi1, but I can change back when I have upgraded just that package, right? (and in the future not degrade it again)
[09:05] <crackerbox> then the C++ code will do something like "if SERIAL0 != abcd123" then reboot now
[09:05] <clearzen> dozpazoz: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-354071.html and it's flashplugin-nonfree whoops

[09:11] <ConstyXIV> dozpazoz: why do you keep asking ubotu about opera?
[09:11] <gigabytes> can you help me please?
[09:11] <clearzen> Sp4rKy: ok, why is that the backup for medibuntu.org or something?

[09:17] <Davy_Jones> clearzen: nothing.. just a different emulator
[09:18] <CaptainFrisbee> jrad_ : I don't know what to expect from those drivers, so don't get your hopes up. But beer is always nice :)
[09:19] <b4l74z4r> i was wondering: when you mark something for uninstall in the add/remove menu in the applications folder, is that the equivalent to the synaptic package managers removal or complete removal?
[09:19] <ergun> i agree with you Captain :)
[09:19] <bjames> howling: cheers
[09:19] <max0> hi im using bittornado for downloading torrents but im only getting about 20kB downloads, port forwarding is ON btw
[09:19] <ergun> beer is wonderfull
[09:19] <bjames> I will do that
[09:19] <ConstyXIV> b4l74z4r: i think just removal
[09:19] <b4l74z4r> ConstyXIV: ok
[09:19] <Sigi> Bye all! Greetz agan vzduch!
[09:19] <howlingmadhowi1> bjames: and if it doesn't work, can you paste me the script itself?
[09:19] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: okay, it looks good. i'll try to install it :)
[09:20] <bjames> howling: one moment
[09:20] <bjames> I will test this first
[09:20] <jrad_> CaptainFrisbee: yes, beer is always the BEST driver ;)
[09:20] <kanuha> if I want to do two or more commands within the terminal, do I use the pipe symbol between the commands??
[09:20] <rafaelscj> Hello, I am on Ubuntu live now, and my ps/2 don't work, Help me
[09:20] <max0> yes
[09:20] <ali1234> i can't get my bluetooth phone to pair with my laptop. if i try from the laptop, the phone disconnects before i can enter a pin, and if i try from the phone, nothing happens at all.
[09:20] <max0> just use the pipe
[09:20] <ConstyXIV> kanuha: no, semicolon
[09:21] <max0> eg cat file.txt | grep whatever
[09:21] <ali1234> kanuha: you might want to use && if you want to make sure the first command finished ok
[09:21] <ConstyXIV> max0: i think he wants foo THEN bar, not bar WITH foo
[09:21] <jrad_> or grep <whatever> <filename>
[09:21] <jrad_> man grep
[09:22] <rafaelscj> I am on Ubuntu live now, and my mouse ps/2 don't work, Help me
[09:22] <max0> ah then id do your first command with a & after  eg command& then run the second command
[09:22] <genii> I'm pretty sure DRI and tdfx don't play nice together
[09:22] <karmalex> hi to all
[09:22] <kromwel> hi guys, i want to play warcraft 3 using wine. i used it to play it ona  pc with an nvidia driver and had no problem
[09:22] <askand> howlingmadhowi1: oj..forgot it was in swedish..good link about gnu?
[09:22] <kanuha> ConstyXIV, ali1234, max0, I want to do this command, cd /FHA ; ./FAH504-Linux.exe
[09:22] <IndyGunFreak> remind me if i ever want to dual boot vista and ubuntu, that i'd rather throw myself down a flight of stairs.
[09:22] <kromwel> problem is when i run it on a computer with intel graphics driver
[09:22] <kromwel> the graphics don't come out right
[09:22] <jrad_> rafaelscj: this has to be configured with /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:22] <kromwel> any solution to this
[09:23] <ConstyXIV> kanuha: exactly like that
[09:23] <clearzen> max0: it would be command && command
[09:23] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: don't worry. gnu /gettext are the gnu localisation tools
[09:23] <kanuha> ConstyXIV, thx
[09:23] <kromwel> is there any good driver for intel
[09:23] <kromwel> graphics accelarator for ubuntu
[09:23] <ConstyXIV> kromwell: intel wireless and GFX work out of box IIRC
[09:23] <godofredo> can i use the same vmware server serial number on my other box?
[09:24] <crolle17> somebody here who know brasero?
[09:24] <max0> what does the extra & do?
[09:24] <ConstyXIV> godofredo: yes
[09:24] <max0> i thought you just used one to return the shell
[09:24] <kromwel> but  my warcraft doesn't work properly unlike with nvidia drivers
[09:24] <ali1234> max0: single & makes the first command run in the background, so the two comamnds run at the same time
[09:24] <godofredo> ConstyXIV, how does that work? they ask you to register for more than one ahead of time.
[09:24] <godofredo> ConstyXIV, but i didn't soo...
[09:25] <ConstyXIV> godofredo: it doesn't report back that i know of
[09:25] <clearzen> max0: I thought you wanted to run them in succession, my bad
[09:25] <NickGarvey> I want to copy a directory structure on top of another like one, for example I have /a/c/d and /b/c/d, would cp -R a/ b/ do it or would it overwrite the data in /b?
[09:25] <CaptainFrisbee> kromwel: what kind if intel chip do you have? GMA950?
[09:25] <ConstyXIV> godofredo: it should work just fine
[09:25] <bjames> howling: that script does not seem to work
[09:25] <godofredo> ConstyXIV, k
[09:25] <ali1234> max0: && means if command1 then command2
[09:25] <max0> its not me with the problem i just woundered what the && did :)
[09:25] <karmalex> hi guys i've a problem with the startup with ubuntu 6.10: when i do the start up whit the lition battery it doesn' start!
[09:25] <crolle17> nobody knows brasero?

[09:26] <kanuha> ConstyXIV, It workd in a terminal, but when I use those same commands in a launcher from the gnome panel it gives me an error about a child process, any ideas ??
[09:26] <max0> well in perl
[09:26] <max0> :)
[09:26] <crolle17> karmalex, why not feisty?
[09:26] <karmalex> feisty?
[09:26] <kromwel> Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express
[09:26] <crolle17> karmalex, yes
[09:26] <karmalex> what's feisty crolle 17?
[09:26] <ali1234> kanuha: is it absolutely necessary to change directory before running? if not just put the absolute path to the program in the launcher

[09:28] <ConstyXIV> kromwell: yup, the intel chip is not the best for games
[09:28] <rafaelscj> jrad_ ...
[09:28] <kromwel> ok thanks

[09:28] <kromwel> for the games
[09:28] <MadFaxer> Hi all.  How is everyone?
[09:28] <ConstyXIV> kromwel: that's because the nvidia hardware is made for games
[09:28] <bjames> it looks ok to me too - I don't think this is the right solution though
[09:29] <rafaelscj> jrad_ I how can access the meny by keuboard?
[09:29] <crolle17> MadFaxer, fine. but brasero is not running
[09:29] <clearzen> hedos: Does it give you an error when you try to install gcc alone?
[09:29] <bjames> it seems like a better idea to edit a config file somewhere
[09:29] <MadFaxer> i think i'm gonna like Ubuntu a whole lot. it's a pretty big learning curve for somethings though
[09:29] <karmalex> crolle i've resolve the problem: when i started up whitout the battery it work...it's strange
[09:29] <bjames> if there is such a file!
[09:29] <hedos> clearzen, I need to compile the latest gcc.
[09:29] <jrad_> rafaelscj: oh, thats a good question ...
[09:29] <rafaelscj> jrad_ Ctrl+F2?
[09:29] <crolle17> karmalex, anyway. stay up to date and upgrade to feisty
[09:30] <karmalex> thank'u crolle17
[09:30] <jrad_> rafaelscj: no, this does not work ..
[09:30] <clearzen> hedos: Right, have you tried just sudo apt-get update gcc? Do you have it currently installed?
[09:30] <b4l74z4r> this doesn't sit well with me; i uninstalled opera thru synaptic choosing complete removal and when i re-installed opera all my previous settings were intact, does this have anything to do with the fact that i'm running ubuntu in live mode or is it a flaw in synaptic
[09:30] <howlingmadhowi1> bjames: try adding "ethtool -s eth1 wol g" to a suitable script in /etc/init.d/
[09:30] <crolle17> karmalex, promise you'll do.
[09:30] <MadFaxer> How come Feisty doesn't have the thumb-drive option like the earlier versions??
[09:30] <karmalex> ok i promise ;)
[09:30] <jrad_> rafaelscj: I suggest you look into the help programme (either for Gnome or KDE, look for shortcuts)
[09:30] <mrsno> b4l74z4r removing opera completely through synaptic does not remove the .opera folder in your /home/username/ directory
[09:30] <hedos> clearzen, I can't give more information unfortunatly, it actually isn't my computer. I suppose the problem might not be straightforward, so I'll try to come back with more information. Thanks anyway.
[09:30] <mrsno> so if you dont need the settings , you can delete it
[09:30] <b4l74z4r> mrsno: ok
[09:30] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: it doesn't appear to be working right :(
[09:30] <mrsno> opera rocks :) <3
[09:30] <rafaelscj> jrad_ I will try
[09:31] <crolle17> hey still need help with brasero.
[09:31] <howlingmadhowi1> mrsno: no. the sparcT2 rocks :)
[09:31] <MadFaxer> im a n00b
[09:31] <mrsno> howlingmadhowi1 they both do :p
[09:31] <devang> firefox>flock>opera>IE
[09:31] <crolle17> MadFaxer, that's what you said...
[09:31] <b4l74z4r> yeah firefox is quite slow and clumsy compared to opera
[09:31] <devang> LOL
[09:31] <CaptainFrisbee> kromwel: most AGP or PCe graphics cards are much faster than the integrated chips as they have dedicated video memory, and more powerful shaders
[09:31] <crolle17> devang, what is flock?
[09:32] <howlingmadhowi1> mrsno: (it's an in-joke. the sparcT2 is referred to as "the Rock")
[09:32] <devang> a browser
[09:32] <mrsno> oh it flew over my head howlingmadhowi1 , great cpu none the less :p
[09:32] <karmalex> goodbye guys
[09:32] <crolle17> devang, i supposed...
[09:32] <askand> howlingmadhowi1: what happens when running from terminal?
[09:32] <howlingmadhowi1> mrsno: i've never used one! :(
[09:32] <devang> google it lol
[09:32] <ConstyXIV> devang: you meant opera>konqueror/safari>firefox>lynx>IE :)
[09:32] <adam_> I am having a problem with my display in ubuntu... For some reason the middle of my screen is blurry and the outsides are fine
[09:32] <askand> howlingmadhowi1: what errors?
[09:32] <ConstyXIV> !jfgi | devang
[09:32] <ubotu> devang: Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[09:32] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17 : what's your problem with brasero?
[09:32] <crolle17> devang, but seems to be quite unknown
[09:32] <MadFaxer> I have a GRUB problem, can someone help me?
[09:33] <CaptainFrisbee> !grub
[09:33] <ali1234> adam_: i doubt that is a software problem
[09:33] <kanuha> ConstyXIV, I created the file and named it FAH.sh. on the first line I have #!/bin/sh then I skipped a line, on the third line I have cd /FAH. On the fouorth line I have ./FAH504-Linux.exe, but it still gives me the child process error, any more ideas ??
[09:33] <ConstyXIV> MadFaxer: what's the problem?
[09:33] <adam_> hmm.. i dont seem to have a problem with this on windows
[09:33] <jrad_> grub = grab
[09:33] <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
[09:33] <wckdkl0wn> i'm having problems viewing my linux system over the network.. i activated shared folders.. i can see the system from the windows machine.. asks for username and password.. but neither my account or root account works to get access
[09:33] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: it's doing okay on the command line :)
[09:33] <askand> howlingmadhowi1: hrm, okk..
[09:34] <devang> ConstyXIV: lol?
[09:34] <devang> crolle17: some of the best stuff is not known by everyone like linux
[09:34] <ali1234> adam_: define "blurry" - and what type of screen is it?
[09:34] <godofredo> My installation of vmware no longer works, it says it needs to be reconfigured, i can't figure it out, i JUST installed it
[09:34] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: at exactly the right moment, someone released another episode of the a-team on youtube for me to download :)
[09:34] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, i get errormessage when try to start burning the choosen files: cd-device is blocked
[09:34] <askand> howlingmadhowi1: (Y)
[09:34] <clearzen> wckdkl0wn: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Share_files_using_Samba
[09:35] <crolle17> devang, flock is based on mozilla
[09:35] <devang> crolle17: yes it is
[09:35] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: hva siger man paa svenska? tft? :)
[09:35] <crolle17> devang, did you try it?
[09:35] <adam_> i mean if i move the window to the right of left side of the screen everything appears sharp and nice.  Anything that is in the middle is hard to read and a little bit blurry
[09:35] <clearzen> wckdkl0wn:  sudo smbpasswd -a `whoami` <---that is the command you want
[09:35] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17 : do other disc burning apps work fine ?
[09:35] <adam_> and its just a regular kds crt monitor
[09:35] <devang> crolle17: at a friends i use firefox though
[09:35] <Ahadiel> is http://ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org slow for anyone else?
[09:35] <rafaelscj> jrad_ I will conect my usb mouse
[09:35] <godofredo> ConstyXIV, you familiar with vmware?
[09:36] <devang> i just stick to firefox with FTP, chatzilla and firebug
[09:36] <ConstyXIV> godofredo: yeahg
[09:36] <attunix> when i use startx, how can i specify which window manager to load?
[09:36] <ali1234> adam_: check if you are usin the same screen mode as you do on windows
[09:36] <ConstyXIV> godofredo: yeah
[09:36] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, didn't try others burning-apps. want brasero to do this job
[09:36] <askand> howlingmadhowi1:  tufft :)
[09:36] <MadFaxer> im trying to PM you, i dont use IRC that much
[09:36] <Homero> exit
[09:36] <adam_> ok
[09:36] <crolle17> devang, but it's not in the official sources.list
[09:36] <attunix> MadFaxer: use /msg [screenname]  to PM somebody
[09:36] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: oh. it seems to have worked perfectly! i just didn't have any feedback that it was working, so i started it again. maybe a taskbar icon?
[09:36] <godofredo> ConstyXIV, it doesn't report back that i know ofjust installed it a week ago and the shortcut no longer works, i try to run vmware in terminal and it says it needs to be reconfigured :(
[09:37] <devang> crolle17: so? lol
[09:37] <brylie> This is a weird problem: I would like to set Ubuntu so that Alt-Clicking and dragging does not drag the active window. I am using Inkscape and it has features such as selecting/moving buried objects by alt-clicking. The system is overriding this functionality.
[09:37] <godofredo> ConstyXIV, whoa.........messed that up
[09:37] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17 : well you first need to find out if it's a problem with brasero or something else
[09:37] <godofredo> ConstyXIV, darn copy and paste
[09:37] <devang> crolle17: it was just my opinon
[09:37] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: oh that's how you spell it :) i learnt my scandinavian from nemi, so i'm not good at swedisch :)
[09:37] <bjames> howling: it's not working
[09:37] <ConstyXIV> godofredo: i think you need to run sudo vmware-setup.pl
[09:37] <askand> howlingmadhowi1: yeah..i will add something that tell it is working
[09:37] <ConstyXIV> godofredo: you have to do that every kernel update
[09:37] <godofredo> ConstyXIV, i did i don't know how to answer the questions....
[09:38] <ConstyXIV> godofredo: copy/paste me the questions in a PM
[09:38] <attunix> when i use startx, how can i specify which window manager to load?
[09:38] <howlingmadhowi1> bjames: i wonder why not. i'm getting short of answers here
[09:38] <howlingmadhowi1> bjames: well, getting short of suggestions more like
[09:38] <dyrne> attunix: i prefer to use xinit and edit my .xinitrc file so id have exec fluxbox in ~/.xinitrc and then just xinit to start X up
[09:39] <bjames> howling: I can see your login of creating a boot script, but surely there is a config file somewhere that sets this?
[09:39] <bjames> howling: do you happen to know what channel would have someone who might know?
[09:39] <ali1234> startx uses xinit, does it not?
[09:39] <bjames> (thank you for your help thus far)
[09:39] <dyrne> yeah
[09:39] <attunix> dyrne: thanks
[09:40] <jrad_> rafaelscj: maybe you should look at http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=24421333
[09:40] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie:  gksudo gconf-editor
[09:40] <devang> ConstyXIV: I just googled jfgi.. lol i didn't know what it meant
[09:40] <howlingmadhowi1> bjames: have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3628 it's pretty much what we've been doing though
[09:40] <frost0> ConstyXIV, you still there...this is the box i'm working on
[09:40] <bjames> cheers
[09:41] <ConstyXIV> devang: for irony, it stands for "just f---ing google it"
[09:41] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, am i right that your advise is to install other burning-app to check if it's a brasero-problem?
[09:41] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, where do I enter gksudo again? I know of sudo for terminal.
[09:41] <adam_> hmm.  It seems to be the same settings
[09:41] <ConstyXIV> frost0: ?
[09:41] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie: look at the metacity settings, and I think you need to change the mouse button modifier in the general settings
[09:41] <frost0> ConstyXIV, its godofredo on his other box
[09:41] <clearzen> brylie:gksu
[09:41] <devang> ConstyXIV: yea lol when I said google it I meant i'd have to google it myself to find the features page of flock and stuff so it'd be quicker if the person themselves did it
[09:41] <rafaelscj> jrad_ I openned the dialog "run command" by pressing alt+f2
[09:41] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie: ALT F2, gksu gconf-editor
[09:42] <crolle17> devang, want to try it (social sounds always good to me) but it is not official...
[09:42] <ConstyXIV> frost0: yeah.  just run that command (sudo vmware.pl) and put the questions you dont know in a pm to me
[09:42] <brylie> is it safe or recommended to disable the mouse button modifier?
[09:43] <devang> crolle17: so? still try it
[09:43] <rafaelscj> jrad_ I now: gedit /etc/X11/Xorg.conf
[09:43] <kanuha> ConstyXIV, never mind, it was a permission problem, I worked it out without the script. Thx for your help anyway :-)
[09:43] <markgreene> Has anyone in here had problems installing Ubuntu on an HP DV9000 laptop?
[09:43] <crolle17> devang, have to download from their page...
[09:43] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie : you could try to use another button than ALT, as it's used by inkscape
[09:43] <MadFaxer> I installed Feisty onto a portable hard drive. i then decided to install it on the internal HDD to dual boot with windows XP. I installed it successfully but I cant boot to the second install. I know now that I shouldnt have installed the GRUB to the MBR. But now how do i fix it? I want to be able to boot to the  Internal Installed Feisty, i want to reformat the portable HDD to fat32
[09:43] <devang> crolle17: on windows there wasn't a magic package manager you had to do stuff yourself.. lol
[09:43] <howlingmadhowi1> bjames: have a look at /etc/init.d/networking. then read the manual page for ifup. also worthy of reading: /etc/network/interfaces
[09:44] <frost0> ConstyXIV, i'm unregistered so i can't pm, question # 1. http://pastebin.com/d13e51252
[09:44] <jrad_> rafaelscj: I think you are right. Look for a line containing "ps"
[09:44] <brylie> oktanouc, I'm just trying to figure out what button might not conflict inadvertently with something else.
[09:44] <ConstyXIV> frost0: yes
[09:44] <crolle17> devang, that's one of many reason why i'm not on windows...
[09:44] <brylie> *OK
[09:44] <devang> LOL
[09:44] <dyrne> MadFaxer: so ubuntu is on hda2 or whatever and xp is on hda1 and you get a grub menu but ubuntu will not boot?
[09:44] <brylie> somehow I hit tab.
[09:44] <compengi> MadFaxer, search for grub fix
[09:45] <brylie> maybe TAB is the key I should bind it to.
[09:45] <jrad_> rafaelscj: I am new to ubuntu, I am using Kubuntu, and there is no programme "gedit" in here.
[09:45] <clearzen> MadFaxer: at boot type the grub command
[09:45] <brylie> since it is usually used while typing and not while using the mouse.
[09:45] <frost0> ConstyXIV, # 2 http://pastebin.com/d4957aaa5
[09:45] <ConstyXIV> jrad_: on kubuntu, it's kate instead
[09:45] <markgreene> jrad_: kwrite is one that is similar
[09:45] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie: you could also try to change the inkscape keyboard shortcuts ofcourse
[09:45] <MadFaxer> Ubuntu is in two places: portable HDD, and internal hard drive partiitiion with xp
[09:45] <clearzen> MadFaxer: then find boot/grub/stage1
[09:45] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: have a look at the gtk-bindings for python as well. they look a lot better than xdialog :)
[09:45] <rafaelscj> jrad_ because you're usink kde
[09:46] <ConstyXIV> frost0: do you have linux-headers-386 installed?
[09:46] <markgreene> jrad_: you should also be able to run "sudo apt-get install gedit" and run it inside of KDe
[09:46] <jrad_> rafaelscj: kate, thats fine, but how do you edit this file without a mouse?
[09:46] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, that is a good idea.. and perhaps easier to remember. Let me take a look at Inkscape keybindings.
[09:46] <mywaystar> qui est la
[09:46] <frost0> ConstyXIV, doubt it, because earlier it said it couldn't find it.....
[09:46] <ConstyXIV> markgreene: kate, not kwrite (completely different)
[09:46] <jrad_> markgreene: thanks!
[09:46] <vindbo> Please, I am in dire need of help! I plead you, anyone who can help me, please do so!      I am trying to export mails from Outlook 2003 to Ubuntu Evolution (Feisty) Please, I have been working for 5.5 hours now, and I am running out of ideas, and getting quite upset and desperate
[09:46] <askand> howlingmadhowi1: ywah..python looks really hard and nt very..logical=?
[09:46] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, what burning-app do you prefer?
[09:47] <rafaelscj> jrad_ I thing that i can edit it without mouse
[09:47] <ConstyXIV> askand: it's the other way around
[09:47] <markgreene> ConstyXIV: Hm. I just launched both and did not see any MAJOR differences. What info do you know that I am ignorant of?
[09:47] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: saying python isn't logical when you're writing a shell script is a bit like saying spock isn't logical when you're talking to bones
[09:47] <Edgan> vindbo: You best bet would be to just upload them to a imap server, and then either use imap from now on, or move them from the imap server to local. This would be easier and faster with a local imap server.
[09:47] <frost0> vindbo, check this out http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/moving-outlook-email-data-to-linux-evolution-mail-client.html
[09:48] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, I know this is borderline off-topic but I don't see an option to change the depth selection modifier key in Inkscape.
[09:48] <clearzen> MadFaxer: still there?
[09:48] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: in other words: it's a huge amount better than shell scripts :)
[09:48] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17 : K3B ?
[09:48] <MadFaxer> then what?
[09:48] <DavidCraft> I installed ubuntu sever with the DNS server... where do I find help on using this default DNS server?
[09:48] <clearzen> what output did it give you?
[09:48] <MadFaxer> I've already looked up and tried the GRUB fix
[09:48] <frost0> ConstyXIV, is this bad?
[09:48] <ConstyXIV> markgreene: sorry, mixed it up for KWord.
[09:48] <DavidCraft> is it BIND or what?
[09:48] <jrad_> rafaelscj: OK, so look for a section in this file which defines your mouse settings. Look for "mouse" in this file, do you have it?
[09:48] <MadFaxer> from the Live CD, thats why im here cause it didnt fix my problem lol
[09:48] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: if you want to keep the shell script feel, you can try using perl.
[09:49] <MadFaxer> Im really impressed with the amount of support documentation
[09:49] <rafaelscj> jrad_ protocol is ImPS/2
[09:49] <clearzen> MadFaxer: so you have tried setup (hd0,1)
[09:49] <MadFaxer> yes
[09:49] <markgreene> ConstyXIV: Oh ok thats cool.
[09:49] <NemesisD> hi, i know there's probably a command that can do this, how would i count all the lines in all the php files (for example) in a directory and its subdirectories from terminal?
[09:49] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie: the shortcuts seem to be stored in usr/share/inkscape/keyboard
[09:50] <jrad_> rafaelscj: Ok, thats fine then. Just a moment ...
[09:50] <clearzen> MadFaxer: did you try root (hd0,1)?
[09:50] <vindbo> Edgan, I don't know how to set up an IMAP account, and I have 600 mb worth of emails that needs to be exported. Do you have any other ideas?     frost0: Thank you, but I have tried this guide. it didn't work for me. I followed every little step of it, but no mails are to be found in either Thunderbird for ubuntu or Evolution. Please, I don't know what to do, and I'm feeling so helpless
[09:50] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, the gconf solution might be easier
[09:50] <ConstyXIV> frost0: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-'uname -r'
[09:50] <MadFaxer> actually, it was (hd 0,2)
[09:50] <ConstyXIV> frost0: the quotes should be backticks
[09:50] <frost0> vindbo, this looks pretty close to what you need : http://outport.sourceforge.net/
[09:50] <devang> vindbo: what program are the mails saved in?
[09:50] <clearzen> MadFaxer: yeah, okay then root(hd0,2)
[09:50] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, /usr/share/inkscape/keys i mean
[09:50] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, I agree, and it is also better for me to be aware of gconf-editor.
[09:51] <vindbo> devang, They are saved in Outlook 2003
[09:51] <vindbo> frost0, thank you, I will read it this instant!!
[09:51] <humbolto> how can I find out, if any of my users are using evolution? is there a specific gconf key or some config file I could grep or search for?
[09:51] <Edgan> vindbo: 600mb is nothing with a local imap server
[09:51] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, sudo nano /usr/share/inkscape/keys shows me an empty document
[09:51] <jrad_> rafaelscj: do you have such elements in the section, which contains "mouse"?
[09:51] <frost0> vindbo, i experienced a similar problem...it can be frustrating....
[09:51] <jrad_> Section "InputDevice"
[09:51] <jrad_>     Identifier     "Configured Mouse"
[09:52] <jrad_>     Driver         "mouse"
[09:52] <jrad_>     Option         "CorePointer"
[09:52] <jrad_>     Option         "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

[09:52] <jrad_>     Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
[09:52] <jrad_>     Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
[09:52] <jrad_> EndSection
[09:52] <jrad_> Oh, sorry, this was my fault ..
[09:52] <Bill> hello
[09:52] <devang> vindbo: the only way to transfer mails in outlook is if where you transfering to is if both ends are the same version of outlook at least that's what i remember from having to do it a while back for a customer
[09:52] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, I'll just edit gconf-editor.
[09:52] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, /usr/share/inkscape/keys/inkscape.xml
[09:52] <devang> but that was windows to windows..
[09:52] <rafaelscj> jrad_, no, I haven't
[09:52] <devang> so I'm not sure
[09:52] <clearzen> !pastebin | jrad_
[09:52] <ubotu> jrad_: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:52] <frost0> vindbo, you can select the components to export, then you say export to evolution
[09:52] <MadFaxer> im getting the Kernel Panic - not syncing error message
[09:52] <Edgan> vindbo: install dovecot, create a user, set a password, make sure firewall/iptables isn't blocking 143, set your outlook to use the ip address/hostname of the linux box as the imap server
[09:52] <rafaelscj> jrad_, the section's name is imputdevice
[09:52] <frost0> ConstyXIV, backticks?
[09:52] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, yes that would be easier
[09:52] <Bill> is this were you get help with ubnutu linux?
[09:53] <clearzen> MadFaxer: after you ran the root(hd0,2)?
[09:53] <MadFaxer> unable to mount root fr on unknown wn-block(0,0)
[09:53] <jrad_> rafaelscj: maybe then you should insert this section into your xorg.conf file. I sent you my xorg.conf, did you receive it?
[09:53] <frost0> Bill, yep. :)
[09:53] <Bill> ok
[09:53] <Bill> i have a booting problem
[09:53] <chejrw> Hey guys.  I'm having trouble getting a USB hard drive (formattted NTFS) to be able to mount read-write in Ubuntu
[09:53] <frost0> Bill, explain your question fully like the guy below you...
[09:53] <clearzen> MadFaxer: Do you have a liveCD?
[09:53] <rafaelscj> jrad_, no, i didn't
[09:53] <MadFaxer> yes, after the (hd 0,2) but i have not tried the (hd 0,1)
[09:53] <jrad_> rafaelscj: yes, that is correct. but there are several of these sections!
[09:53] <MadFaxer> I do have the live CD
[09:54] <CaptainFrisbee> Cheese, could you show your /etc/fstab
[09:54] <frost0> ConstyXIV, not familiar with the term backticks.....could you pastebin.com it?
[09:54] <rafaelscj> jrad_, correct
[09:54] <ali1234> NemesisD: find -iname '*.php' | xargs cat | wc -l
[09:54] <vindbo> devang what do you mean? can I have outlook on Ubuntu? Edgan: dovecot? okay, ehhmm, how do I set outlook to use these ports?
[09:54] <CaptainFrisbee> Damn autocomplete
[09:54] <rafaelscj> jrad_, may i rename it?
[09:54] <jrad_> rafaelscj: hm, I thought that file transfer works with IRC?
[09:54] <Cheese> I'll never show it to you! CaptainFrisbee :P
[09:54] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, now do I restart my computer?
[09:54] <Bill> well i have burned ubnutu to a cd and booted it up, it hangs up and then displays an error could not read from boot cd
[09:54] <elementz> guys - after messing with the /etc/sudoers via visudo - i can't get root priviliges anymore -> what can i do?
[09:54] <devang> vindbo: you can try with Wine
[09:54] <clearzen> MadFaxer: cool, you should boot from that then sudo -s and then grub then find /boot/grub/stage1
[09:54] <frost0> Bill, i have an idea, hold on
[09:54] <MadFaxer> i am currently in windows....didnt know gaim had an irc client lol
[09:54] <chejrw> I'm not on that machine, it can't connect to the net.  How much of it do you want me to type out?
[09:54] <clearzen> MadFaxer:and tell me what it says
[09:54] <rafaelscj> jrad_, yes
[09:54] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, I changed the value to '<Tab>' what is '<Super>'?
[09:54] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, now that won't be necessary
[09:55] <ttt-> hi, whats the command for opening a text file with the "text editor" from a terminal?
[09:55] <clearzen> MadFaxer: You have 2 pc's right
[09:55] <jrad_> rafaelscj: I will send you this file again ...
[09:55] <wckdkl0wn> howe do i mount an iso image?
[09:55] <NemesisD> alil234, brilliant! thanks
[09:55] <Bill> and i tried in on virtual pc and it installed fine
[09:55] <ttt-> it just says "text editor" in gnome
[09:55] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, it is still dragging the window when I alt-click.
[09:55] <dxdt> ttt-: gedit filename
[09:55] <vindbo> frost0, outport looks as if it won't work with outlook 2003, since it has bugs in office xp. Will it work?
[09:55] <Edgan> vindbo: You will need to run Outlook on a Windows machine. Unless you want to use Crossover Office, VMware, Wine, or something else like that.
[09:55] <dyrne> ttt-: editorname textfilename   a common edit is nano so 'nano textfile.txt'
[09:55] <ttt-> thanks!
[09:55] <clearzen> wckdkl0wn: sudo mount -o loop /path/to/.iso /path/to/mount
[09:55] <jrad_> rafaelscj: did you get my xorg.conf?
[09:55] <rafaelscj> jrad_, no
[09:56] <wckdkl0wn> clearzen, path/to/mount would be what? anything i choose?
[09:56] <clearzen> wckdkl0wn: yeah
[09:56] <MadFaxer> i do have more than 1 pc....this problem only involves the one im on though. do you want me to get on here from another PC?
[09:56] <jrad_> rafaelscj: sh*t ;)
[09:56] <zaggy-nl> dear ubuntu devs, please invent [skip all]  for gnome moving dialog -.-'
[09:56] <fnatic\Will> hi, what do i need to do to make my MOUSE4 and MOUSE5 buttons work on my razer deathadder?
[09:56] <MadFaxer> i think GAIM has an IRC client, i can just use that when i liveCD
[09:57] <NickGarvey> !mouse | fnatic\Will
[09:57] <ubotu> fnatic\Will: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[09:57] <rafaelscj> jrad_, can you use my FTP server to upload it?
[09:57] <clearzen> MadFaxer: It does. I'm using it right now
[09:57] <MadFaxer> sweet
[09:57] <fnatic\Will> hah, thanks :)
[09:57] <frost0> Bill, still workin...
[09:57] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, yes I noticed that too :(
[09:57] <Bill> ok
[09:57] <MadFaxer> I didnt remember that until after I had gotten in here. Im used to the chatzilla plugin anyway, with my limited experience with IRC
[09:57] <genii> NickGarvey: Nice, they added one for that now :)
[09:57] <wckdkl0wn> clearzen, so i could do it like /tempcd?
[09:58] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, dangit hehe... um would it be a GNOME setting?
[09:58] <NickGarvey> genii: :)
[09:58] <jrad_> rafaelscj: I think I can do that.
[09:58] <DavidHKMrPowers> what would happen if google was crawling a page of searched result of another search engine?
[09:58] <clearzen> wckdkl0wn: as long as you created the folder first sure
[09:58] <MadFaxer> Ill boot to LiveCD and then come back in here....maybe like 10 minutes or so
[09:58] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: one more thing. i tend to convert youtube videos into ogg format using ffmpeg2theora. maybe you could offer that as an option :)
[09:58] <IndyGunFreak> anyone want to get involved in some major grub troubleshooting?
[09:58] <zaggy-nl> chown: changing ownership of `~wrl0003.tmp': Operation not permitted
[09:58] <frost0> Bill, you still there?
[09:58] <clearzen> sudo mkdir /tempcd; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/.iso /tempcd
[09:58] <zaggy-nl> even when I'm root :/
[09:58] <jrad_> rafaelscj: I now see a progress bar - my file is currently sent to you!
[09:58] <rafaelscj> jrad_, please wait moment...
[09:59] <Bill> yep
[09:59] <Bill> i am here
[09:59] <frost0> vindbo, you'll have to try to find out :P
[09:59] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, no it should be a metacity setting
[09:59] <venish> can some one help me put beryl manager
[09:59] <armyriad> What are the system requirements for Ubuntu?
[09:59] <jrad_> rafaelscj: no, it does not work ("time out")
[09:59] <frost0> Bill, download this and install it instead : http://ftp.freepark.org/pub/CDROM-Images/ubuntu/7.04/ubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso
[09:59] <Bill> i ahve it
[09:59] <genii> IndyGunFreak: I'm tempted but i'll only be on for another hour LOL
[09:59] <Bill> have
[09:59] <venish> can some one help me put beryl manager?
[10:00] <frost0> Bill, that is the alternate install, i have had much more success with those than anything...
[10:00] <Bill> ok
[10:00] <___hex___> how can i change the audio driver in rhythmbox? some songs play really badly on there, whereas in xine they play perfectly
[10:00] <frost0> Bill, it is a lot faster too...
[10:00] <Bill> ok
[10:00] <clearzen> venish: You should use compiz fusion instead. Compiz fusion icon is the same thing as beryl manager
[10:00] <frost0> Bill, it usually will not hang up as often as regular install...
[10:00] <dyrne> armyriad: it depends. you can get away with alot less with xubuntu or server install with fluxbox but ubuntu with gnome id have 512mb ram. otherwise use xubuntu imo
[10:00] <Bill> ok
[10:00] <frost0> Bill, what are you system specs?
[10:00] <IndyGunFreak> genii: this is gonna be a long night i think...lol
[10:01] <Bill> ihold on
[10:01] <venish> clearzen: i like the effects on beryl so it would be great if you can please help me put it..
[10:01] <frost0> Bill, RAM?
[10:01] <jrad_> rafaelscj: but when using ftp, I need to know your PW. But I do not want to know your PW. Or set it back then, afterwards.
[10:01] <rafaelscj> jrad_, Now you can access my ftp server on rafaelscj.no-ip.org
[10:01] <diafic> How do I make a .deb from source?
[10:01] <jrad_> rafaelscj: OK
[10:01] <diafic> I want to make a more up to date version of xchat (2.8.4)
[10:01] <diafic> and then host it on my personal repo?
[10:01] <genii> IndyGunFreak: Some issue like grub got installed to a subpartition that it should not have, etc?
[10:01] <askand> howlingmadhowi1:  ok thanks (Y)

[10:02] <IndyGunFreak> actually
[10:02] <Bill> ok
[10:02] <wckdkl0wn> clearzen, it didnt mount.. just came back with the parameters i can use with mount
[10:02] <Bill>  i got them
[10:02] <frost0> vindbo, how is it coming?
[10:02] <vindbo> Edgan, frost0 I am running outlook 2003 on a win xp machine. I exported the emails from outlook 2003 to thunderbird for windows sucessfully. From there I copied the "local folder.sbd" file to my usb stick. plugged it into my ubuntu box, then copied the local folder.sbd to /home/vindbo/.thunderbird/ without any emails showing up in thunderbird for linux. I tried to copy them to /home/vindbo/.evolution/mail/local/ as well, but no emails. I don'
[10:02] <vindbo> t know why this is not working
[10:02] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, Aha! You have to restart metacity for the changes to take effect: metacity --replace &
[10:02] <compz> how can I access computers with samba?, in Debian I did this with nautilus, but in Ubuntu there is no network directory :(
[10:02] <jrad_> rafaelscj: "An error occurred while loading http://rafaelscj.no-ip.org:"
[10:02] <howlingmadhowi1> askand: but all in all, it works! :) jeg gratulerer deg :)
[10:02] <frost0> vindbo, did you try outpost.sf.net?
[10:02] <NickGarvey> jrad_: he said ftp I thought
[10:02] <vzduch> diafic: you can make one for your own personal use with checkinstall ('./configure', 'make', 'sudo checkinstall make install').. if you want to host binaries, better search for a howto on creating .debs :)
[10:02] <Bill> i have  a gateway intel r 1.50ghz 640 mb or ram
[10:02] <frost0> vindbo, that would be the easiest.
[10:02] <Edgan> vindbo: If you still have them in outlook 2003, just use my method
[10:03] <rafaelscj> use ftp://rafaelscj.no-ip.org
[10:03] <jrad_> rafaelscj: oh, sorry ..
[10:03] <genii> IndyGunFreak: OK I'll have a shot while I'm here. After that yer on yer own
[10:03] <clearzen> wckdkl0wn: try sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/.iso /mountpoint
[10:03] <IndyGunFreak> genii: hang on, i jsut got another suggestion in #grub
[10:03] <genii> IndyGunFreak: On livecd now?
[10:03] <frost0> vindbo, Edgan's idea is also an option...
[10:03] <PNAT> AJA
[10:03] <diafic> hmm
[10:03] <IndyGunFreak> genii: no, thats the problem, if ti were me, i wouldnt' be worried abou tit, but its someone i'm helping via IM
[10:03] <venish> clearzen: i want to keep Compiz but also want to put beryl so i can switch back and forth
[10:03] <alfatec13_> listo
[10:03] <vindbo> frost0, Edgan I accidently closed xchat, and I lost both of your methods. Which one would you two say is the best/easiest one?
[10:03] <rafaelscj> jrad_, the user is "upload"
[10:03] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, I typed 'metacity --replace &' in terminal.. the screen and windows flickered. It's still doin it :-((
[10:03] <brylie> What am I donng wrong.
[10:03] <PNAT> 
[10:04] <vindbo> Edgan, frost0 Yes I still have the emails in Outlook 2003

[10:04] <venish> clearzen: yes sir
[10:04] <brylie> My Debian using friend said ' maybe is a ubuntu bug' 'probably'
[10:04] <frost0> vindbo, but i believe that Edgan knows what he is talking about...with imap
[10:04] <Bill> so i should burn the alternet install to a cd and try that one
[10:04] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, i installed k3b with libk3b2-mp3 but it cannot work with mp3
[10:04] <brylie> How can I get him to stop bashing ubuntu for un-warrented reasons?
[10:04] <Edgan> vindbo: install dovecot, create a user, set a password, make sure firewall/iptables isn't blocking 143, set your outlook to use the ip address/hostname of the linux box as the imap server
[10:04] <frost0> Bill, yes...make sure you burn it at a slow speed....
[10:05] <Bill> ok
[10:05] <rafaelscj> jrad_, try again
[10:05] <frost0> Bill, good luck.
[10:05] <howlingmadhowi1> bjames: did the page help?
[10:05] <Bill> is there anway to get back to you if i have problems

[10:07] <frost0> Bill, yes, you could use your ubuntu livecd
[10:07] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, I'm going to restart Inkscape, then my computer.
[10:07] <genii> Oooooh nice :) My boss just brought me down a fudge sundae :)
[10:07] <rafaelscj> jrad_, I openned my firewall, did you connect?
[10:07] <IndyGunFreak> genii: yeah, this is just rackin my brain
[10:07] <Edgan> vindbo: yes
[10:07] <jrad_> rafaelscj: now the prompt, after ftp <your domain> does nothing ...
[10:07] <IndyGunFreak> i've never had this much trouble installing Ubuntu, EVER.
[10:07] <frost0> Bill, but i suggest you do a clean wipe (erase all hard drive) using the ubuntu alternate cd
[10:07] <Bill> is there anyway i clud talk to you again i i have more problems ?
[10:07] <IndyGunFreak> and this has been like an all day ordeal..
[10:07] <Bill> ok
[10:07] <jrad_> rafaelscj; I will try again.
[10:07] <IndyGunFreak> genii: is that 'fdisk -L", or is that an i?
[10:07] <The> what are you doing?
[10:07] <devang> IndygunFreak: maybe today's just one of those bad Ubuntu installing days
[10:07] <devang> lol
[10:08] <frost0> Bill, i doubt you will have any problems after that...just keep all the default settings.....

[10:08] <frost0> that worked...
[10:08] <devang> indygunfreak: my hard drive just beeped when you said my name.. LOL
[10:08] <vzduch> too late
[10:08] <devang> I could hear it through headphones and rock music.. lol
[10:08] <genii> IndyGunFreak: OK, so if that was the mistake they need to use fdisk to change partitionm type to proper .eg: 83 normally unless they used something like raid autodetect (fd)
[10:08] <IndyGunFreak> devang: yes, thats the advantage of saying someones name when talking to them.
[10:08] <frost0> :P
[10:08] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, on my system it disabled ALT-dragging, in fact I can't enable it anymore :(

[10:09] <Naitse> Hi
[10:09] <frost0> IndyGunFreak, what is a backtick?
[10:09] <keito> hi new to virtualbox and was wondering if I install xp how safe would my system be from spyware and viruses?
[10:10] <keito> I'm on ubuntu
[10:10] <genii> IndyGunFreak: Then to install it (grub) to the correct spot which may be either the mbr of their primary hd or to the main drive dev of their other disk where they put *buntu if they use some bootloader other than grub on the primary hd like the windoze bootloader etc
[10:10] <frost0> keito, your linux box would still be fine...
[10:10] <IndyGunFreak> frost0: a backtick? i have no idea.
[10:10] <venish> clearzen: now can you tell me how can i put icon bar on my desktop like they have on mac
[10:10] <Naitse> need some assistance with a easy rpoblem for you
[10:10] <clearzen> keito: Even if somehow it was infected it would be sandboxed. Which means it wouldn't really affect the core system.
[10:10] <Naitse> how can I configure via terminal the eth0?
[10:10] <vzduch> frost0: `  that is a backtick
[10:10] <clearzen> keito: And you would have to try to infect it or do something really dumb
[10:10] <vindbo> Edgan, frost0: should I perform a sudo apt-get install dovecot-common  ?
[10:11] <genii> Naitse: man ifup   may be informative
[10:11] <elementz> anybody?
[10:11] <frost0> IndyGunFreak, he said sudo apt-get install linux-headers-'uname -r' and the quotes should be backticks....huh
[10:11] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, to <Super>
[10:11] <keito> is there a mode similar to VMWares nonpersistent mode

[10:11] <keito> that revertes to the installed system on restart?
[10:11] <genii> Naitse: Also the file /etc/network/interfaces contains most settings which you can edit if you know what you are doing.
[10:12] <frost0> vindbo, dovecot is all Edgan he knowws about that...not me :) ....all i know is outpost
[10:12] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: wassup?
[10:12] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, you don't have to change to settings using gksu, you have to launch gconf-editor normally

[10:12] <Sir_Funk> Thanks!
[10:12] <frost0> vzduch, where is that on my keyboard....?
[10:12] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, so it will only affect the settings for the local user rather than system wide correct?
[10:12] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: sounds like that should be easy enough to fix
[10:12] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, messed up my sudoers file somehow -> can't become root anymore
[10:13] <keito> avant is ok but I ditched it not as good as YzDock  (win only unfortunatley)
[10:13] <frost0> vindbo, uh sure..i should be on for a few.
[10:13] <rafaelscj> jrad_, Now it will work
[10:13] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, and restarting metacity isn't necessary

[10:13] <genii> frost0: The backtic is the single quote thingy normally found on the same key as tilde ~ key not the single quote key near the Enter key (on US Internaltional type keyboards)
[10:13] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: do you have a live cd handy?
[10:13] <CaptainFrisbee> brylie, yes
[10:13] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, yeo
[10:13] <rafaelscj> jrad_, password is blank
[10:13] <clearzen> elementz: do this sudo passwd root
[10:13] <iNcrease> hello can anyone tell me how i can disconnect / reconnect / refresh my ip from the network... true console commandos?

[10:15] <clearzen> keito: I don't know. I haven't use virtual box yet
[10:15] <elementz> clearzen, or what?
[10:15] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: boot from the live cd. mount the main partition. delete the x after the name of your main user in /etc/passwd. make sure he's in the sudo group in /etc/group and then reboot

[10:15] <clearzen> elementz: you could reboot into rescue mode that should work
[10:15] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, how would i mount the main partition?
[10:15] <IndyGunFreak> genii: none at all.
[10:15] <IndyGunFreak> ok
[10:15] <clearzen> elementz: then change the permissions back on the sudoers  file
[10:15] <jrad_> rafaelscj: but this file is not a novel ;)
[10:15] <elementz> clearzen, tried already - i get root in rescue mode i think
[10:15] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: sorry. in /etc/group he has to be in adm
[10:16] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, you are stellar! Now I can complete the Inkscape Help>Tutorials>Inkscape:Basic tutorial! :-) Thank you.

[10:16] <madfaxer> !GRUB
[10:16] <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
[10:16] <brylie> CaptainFrisbee, the verrry last thing in the tutorial is Alt-dragging to 'select under'
[10:16] <Zenji> Is there anyway to revert my Ubuntu back to its original packages.
[10:16] <clearzen> madfaxer: back for more
[10:16] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: mount /dev/<dev node of your main partition (you can find this in /proc/partitions)> <where you want to mount it, probably in /tmp>
[10:16] <elementz> clearzen, u mean permission via chmod or inside the file?
[10:16] <frost0> vindbo, how is it coming?
[10:17] <clearzen> elementz: via chmod
[10:17] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, kk
[10:17] <madfaxer> I've looked at those
[10:17] <vindbo> frost0, it's not. I have no idea how to even isntall dovecot, nor to set it up. Edgan is not replying anymore
[10:17] <jrad_> rafaelscj: look for "mouse"
[10:17] <elementz> clearzen, ah ok, so chmod+x /etc/sudoers ?
[10:17] <Zenji> Excuse meh. Is there anyway to revert Ubuntu back to its original installed packages?
[10:17] <iNcrease> how can i add from console a different pc , sometimes i go to lan's there i need to set up different ip ... if know what i mean...

[10:17] <elementz> clearzen, KK

[10:18] <cyberphaz> soon as i can ill buy nvidia
[10:18] <jrad_> rafaelscj; before editing xorg.xonf, please make a backup of this file ...
[10:18] <jrad_> rafaelscj: yes
[10:18] <frost0> vindbo, download outport... from outport.sf.net
[10:18] <howlingmadhowi1> clearzen: if he can't sudo now, i can't see it working in rescue mode either.
[10:18] <frost0> vindbo, http://outport.sf.net
[10:18] <rafaelscj> jrad_, I think that they're equal
[10:18] <genii> iNcrease: You can put multiple IP for an adapter in the /etc/network/interfaces file
[10:19] <jrad_> rafaelscj; hm ...
[10:19] <vindbo> frost0, I am currently downloading the binary. correct?
[10:19] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, u might have a point here
[10:19] <clearzen> elementz: chmod 0440
[10:19] <Zenji> Is there anyway to revert Ubuntu back to its default installed packages?
[10:19] <vindbo> frost0, it is a zip file. It is now finsihed downloading
[10:19] <elementz> clearzen, thx will try that
[10:19] <frost0> vindbo, yep install it now
[10:19] <clearzen> howlingmadhowi1: it is single user mode. It does not access the sudoers file at all
[10:19] <kazukisan> I got a External EXT3 USB drive that i want to auto mount when linux boots, and i want my user to have write privlages, how would i go about doing that in fstab or what ever?
[10:19] <frost0> vindbo, extract the zip....etc
[10:19] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: can you paste the contents of /etc/passwd, /etc/sudoers and /etc/group in pastebin?
[10:19] <vindbo> frost0, okay... ehmm, just give me two...
[10:19] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, thank you for good advise. k3b works fine (so it was a brasero trouble). i'm sure i'll use k3b in the future. it has some nice features
[10:20] <jrad_> rafaelscj: did you search for your mouse model at http://ubuntuforums.org ?

[10:20] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, thx
[10:20] <venish> clearzen: my window bar doesnt show up
[10:20] <kazukisan> lostMyMarbles, Go to system and prefences and then Mouse.
[10:20] <genii> iNcrease: eg some entry like auto eth0    you add another like auto eth0_static1   then put under specific info to that alias using eth0
[10:20] <howlingmadhowi1> clearzen: maybe i should get more information. the way i understand it, he's forgotten the password he needs to use sudo
[10:20] <venish> clearzen: as in X,Max,Min
[10:20] <vindbo> frost0, oh, it is an .exe file!!. Okay, wait a sec, i need to download it onto my xp-machine (duuh, that's why you asked me if I a computer with that installed :P )
[10:20] <keito> anyone? virtualbox or VMWare? need to know situation

[10:21] <kazukisan> I got a External EXT3 USB drive that i want to auto mount when linux boots, and i want my user to have write privlages, how would i go about doing that in fstab or what ever?
[10:21] <Chicory> Er, I have a friend who's running WinXP SP2 and he can't seem to find the samba folders I've mounted.
[10:21] <lostMyMarbles> Thanks! :) Got it!
[10:21] <vindbo> frost0, terribly stressed!! and tired
[10:21] <jrad_> rafaelscj: just a moment.
[10:21] <Chicory> Is there something I'm missing here?
[10:21] <CaptainFrisbee> !fstab | kazukisan
[10:21] <ubotu> kazukisan: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[10:21] <genii> iNcrease: man interfaces  has some example in it
[10:21] <compengi> !samba | Chicory
[10:21] <ubotu> Chicory: 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

[10:22] <iNcrease> genii, mzz thx for the info iam looking around (btw, the command u gave me before worked :))
[10:22] <genii> AFK 2-3 mins
[10:22] <frost0> vindbo, np....you'll like it once you finally ditch xp
[10:22] <compengi> Chicory, there is a link to how to share ubuntu partitions for windows
[10:22] <blue-frog> kazukisan: there is some king of a bug right now with the automount I believe
[10:22] <rafaelscj> jrad_, should I change the protocol to PS/2 or the Device to /dev/mouse?
[10:22] <kazukisan> o
[10:22] <TuxOtaku> hey, has anyone here ever tried to set up asterisk and FreePBX under ubuntu?
[10:22] <Chicory> compengi: Which FAQ do you think the link's in?
[10:23] <madfaxer> Can someone please help me? I installed Feisty Fawn on a portable HD. I then installed it to dual boot with XP. I no longer wish to run Ubuntu on the portable HD, just the internal dual boot. When i boot and choose Ubuntu, I get the following error message: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown wn-block(0,0)
[10:23] <jrad_> rafael: I have to confess that I came here with my own support question. I do not know if /dev/mouse is the solution ...
[10:23] <frost0> ConstyXIV, thank you i got it fixed, easy enough :P
[10:23] <compengi> Chicory, this one https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently but reading the rest won't hurt
[10:23] <clearzen> howlingmadhowi1: not if you have physical access to the machine. boot into single user mode then passwd user and change it
[10:23] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, http://pastebin.com/d5588ef03
[10:23] <iNcrease> genii, great found again what i need in the man
[10:23] <Chicory> Ah, okie dokie.

[10:23] <jrad_> rafaelscj: I know some details about Xorg, but not all ...
[10:23] <frost0> vindbo, you use linux often?
[10:24] <frost0> vindbo, i'm still semi-n00b
[10:24] <Flannel> madfaxer: did you ever reinstall Ubuntu to the internal drive?
[10:24] <frost0> vindbo, i really only use it as an every day desktop
[10:24] <jrad_> rafaelscj: so I suggest you have a look at http://www.x.org/wiki/FAQ
[10:24] <vindbo> frost0, well, I am using ubuntu and MAc osx  primarily mac osx
[10:24] <madfaxer> yes, i reinstalled Ubuntu to the internal drive
[10:24] <rafaelscj> jrad_, okay

[10:25] <rafaelscj> jrad_, very thanks
[10:25] <howlingmadhowi1> clearzen: well, it looks like operon should be able to sudo. so what's wrong?
[10:25] <clearzen> howlingmadhowi1: yes, by default. You can disable it though
[10:25] <vindbo> frost0, this irc channel is too busy to get anything noted
[10:25] <jrad_> rafaelscj: your welcome ;)
[10:25] <howlingmadhowi1> clearzon: sorry. wrong person
[10:25] <frost0> vindbo, http://outport.sf.net
[10:25] <clearzen> howlingmadhowi1: what error is it giving you?
[10:25] <madfaxer> before I did that, if I did not have the portable HD connected, it would not boot at all. Now It goes to the choose OS Grub menu, but errors out to the previously posted error when anything but XP is selected
[10:26] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: well, it looks like operon should be able to sudo. where do you have problems?
[10:26] <compengi> frost0, first do "apt-cache search firefox" if you got results choose the package then "sudo apt-get install package"
[10:26] <nietoperek> who help me i cant open gtk-gnutella

[10:34] <Tilllinux> heya
[10:34] <vindbo> frost0, okay, im holding on :)
[10:34] <Flannel> ANGRY_MIKE: you'll need to be more specific than that
[10:34] <testubu> I'm having trouble accessing shares on a domain, is there an easy way to integrate ubuntu with active directory?
[10:34] <frost0> vindbo, http://www.howtoforge.com/importing_outlook_express_into_thunderbird_evolution
[10:34] <ANGRY_MIKE> i turn on my computer and my windows is gone i have this ubuntew
[10:34] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, don't know if i might ask for to much -> maybe you could write me little howto on how to do it via the livecd? and then paste it to pastebin so that i can access it from my laptop? especially on how to mount the drive and what exactly i need to edit afterwards -> that would really help me out a lot ;-)
[10:34] <imbecile> i am losing it over here.. its pretty funny
[10:34] <vindbo> frost0, did that one, without sucess
[10:34] <frost0> vindbo, ok
[10:34] <genii> imbecile: I'm with you :)
[10:35] <howlingmadhowi1> clearzen: looking at my /etc/sudoers file, my user isn't listed either.
[10:35] <JRsup1> ok, as I was asking...can anyone give me an assist with patching the kernel?  Or can it be done with a patch that's meant for a newer kernel?
[10:35] <frost0> vindbo, i really have to go, but please keep asking someone will know...and i'm pretty sure outport will work...
[10:35] <Slasher> -offtopic
[10:35] <Sigi> OK with default xorg.conf I have 3D acceleration (I test it with Chromium but need it for GoogleEarth etc.). Original xorg.conf limits me to max 800x600 possible to choose from desktop screen config but Chromium is flying. Adding only Horiz and Vert data makes my resulution modes visible to 1280 and everything is wonderfully configurable BUT Chromium has 1 frame per 15 sec!?
[10:35] <Flannel> ANGRY_MIKE: Sounds like you, or someone else, installed Ubuntu
[10:35] <Slasher> oops
[10:35] <madfaxer> When i boot and choose Ubuntu, I get the following error message: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown wn-block(0,0)
[10:35] <CaptainFrisbee> kazukisan, you need to enable ntfs write access, just a moment ...
[10:35] <vindbo> frost0, thakn you for your kind help!!
[10:35] <AdemoS> Question about Installing Unbutu: After running the disc check on Ubuntu 7.04, I had to re-burn my disc do to a burn error. Now I'ved passed the disc check, and I can get to the orange bar bouncing, after that step I just see a blinking line. Any ideas?
[10:35] <Tilllinux> I'm looking for a way to capture video from the tv via 'vivo' (GeForce 7800GT)... so... is there any?
[10:35] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, yep my user wasn't listed in the inital sudoers file
[10:35] <vindbo> frost0, you made me alittle bit less stressed :)
[10:35] <kazukisan> CaptainFrisbee, its ext3
[10:35] <AdemoS> *Ubuntu
[10:35] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, it must be something different
[10:36] <rafaelscj> I have two PS/2 mouses and both don't work on ubuntu 7.04
[10:36] <frost0> vindbo, last word here......also if that doesn't work try exporting them as .html and importing them in evolution as .html
[10:36] <rafaelscj> help me
[10:36] <JRsup1> Tillinux: I don't know much on this but have you tried the nVidia binary drivers?
[10:36] <CaptainFrisbee> kazukisan, Ok that's easier :)
[10:36] <Sigi> vzduch: OK with default xorg.conf I have 3D acceleration (I test it with Chromium but need it for GoogleEarth etc.).

[10:36] <compengi> AdemoS, at what speed you had burned your disk?
[10:36] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: well, your /etc/passwd is okay, your /etc/group is okay. i assume your /etc/shadow is also okay.
[10:36] <vindbo> frost0, just one last quest. why do you want me to apt-cache firefox, and how do I exprot as html?
[10:36] <clearzen> howlingmadhowi1: You're right.
[10:36] <frost0> vindbo, no apt- cache was all my bad...wrong paste.....but last link :O
[10:36] <vzduch> Sigi: gfx card too slow perhaps?
[10:37] <AdemoS> compengi: Thanks for the quick reply. Orignally I burned at 40x, then I tried 16x and got much better results. I'm installing on a old computer after all.
[10:37] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, actually i just added the following line to the sudoers: username ALL= NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/firestarter
[10:37] <Flannel> elementz: the default sudoers file doesn't have any usernames in it, just "all"
[10:37] <howlingmadhowi1> clearzen: not that i claim to understand the syntax of /etc/sudoers. i just hope i don't need to
[10:37] <madfaxer> I didnt like Gdesklettes that much
[10:37] <CaptainFrisbee> kazukisan, can you write to it with root privileges?
[10:37] <compengi> AdemoS, no problem. try to burn it at low speed like 4x it's recommended
[10:37] <Tilllinux> JRsup1: well, I don't know much about it either, but yes, I think I got them installed...
[10:37] <kazukisan> CaptainFrisbee, let me try one sec
[10:37] <clearzen> elementz: That's is not a good idea. Firestarter is the frontend to iptables. it's very insecure to do that
[10:37] <Flannel> elementz: type 'groups', are you in the admin group?
[10:37] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, which was obviously bullshit - so when i went into recovery mode i could remove that line in vim and then save it -> but still i can't become root anymore
[10:38] <AdemoS> compengi: Oh, could that be the cause? Because it passed all the tests. Well I guess I have enough CDRs to try it
[10:38] <kazukisan> CaptainFrisbee, Yes i can
[10:38] <Flannel> elementz: recovery mode gives you a root prompt
[10:38] <ANGRY_MIKE> ?
[10:38] <elementz> Flannel, i am in groups
[10:38] <venish> Flannel: i used your instructions for avant manager but it didnt install
[10:38] <Flannel> elementz: in the admin group?
[10:38] <frost0> vindbo, try this: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/htmlemailarchiver.html
[10:38] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: okay. i may not get by winging this. i may have to actually read the manual entry for sudoers. i'll post my sudoers file. then you can try replacing your current sudoers file with mine in recovery mode
[10:38] <compengi> AdemoS, well it could be in your case, try it and let me know :)
[10:38] <Sigi> vzduch: Worked much harder settings - I have Voodoo 3000 I'm sure is not to slow but I can keep current xorg.conf settings and only go back to 800x600 res and check again if this may help. OK?
[10:38] <cyberphaz> is there a good way to update a package while there isnt a .deb file of the new release?
[10:38] <Cubun> speak spanish?
[10:39] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, ok thx
[10:39] <frost0> vindbo, whatever you do...don't stop asking....
[10:39] <Flannel> elementz: When youre editing sudoers, make sure you're using visudo
[10:39] <vzduch> !es | Cubun
[10:39] <Flannel> !es | Cubun
[10:39] <ubotu> Cubun: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[10:39] <frost0> vindbo, sorry i couldn't help any further...
[10:39] <elementz> Flannel, did it via gedit first
[10:39] <Cubun> thanks
[10:39] <CaptainFrisbee> kazukisan, you can try  to chown the mountdir so you can write to it with user privileges?
[10:39] <Flannel> elementz: Well, that could very well be your rpoblem
[10:39] <vindbo> frost0, I will not. thank yoy again. you have been most kind!
[10:39] <keito> recently had an issue where I compiled a driver for an obscure soundcard from source on the providers site and after installing and rebooting the system wouldn't start x... only the terminal.  in the end I reinstalled as I had no way to access the net to find out how to recover the system... any ideas just in case future events follow the same path?
[10:39] <vzduch> Sigi: Voodoo sounds like an old bone
[10:39] <howlingmadhowi1> !pastebin
[10:39] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:39] <vzduch> Sigi: even older than my GF2
[10:39] <elementz> Flannel, so what now then?
[10:39] <compengi> cyberphaz, you can download the source file and compile
[10:39] <Flannel> elementz: pastebinning it wouldn't hurt
[10:39] <elementz> clearzen, so how would i add it to autostart then?
[10:39] <frost0> vindbo, remember to look at what evolution can import, and try  and export that format from outlook 2003.....bye.
[10:39] <blairellis> Anyone know howto get a monitor that displays 1440x900 to work right on an install of Ubuntu?
[10:39] <TimeTraveller> Hey ! What the best way to install my ATI X800 gfx
[10:40] <vindbo> frost0, bye :)
[10:40] <vzduch> Sigi: what frame rate do you get w/ glxgears?
[10:40] <cyberphaz> compengi but then i wont be able to deinstall it normally at all right?
[10:40] <elementz> Flannel, if i could access it -> but i actually can't issue a sudo command anymore -> nothing happens
[10:40] <cyberphaz> since it wont show up in the package manager
[10:40] <Flannel> elementz: right, recovery console will let you access it
[10:40] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31593/
[10:40] <clearzen> elementz: you don't want it to start without a password. Iptables load on boot anyway.
[10:40] <kazukisan> CaptainFrisbee, That pretty much worked thanks lol
[10:41] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: try replacing your current /etc/sudoers with that in recovery mode
[10:41] <compengi> cyberphaz, you can uninstall it but it's recommended if you would use .deb packages
[10:41] <elementz> clearzen, meaning that i need to launch it by hand every time?
[10:41] <JRsup1> Tilllinux: what video capture program are you using/have you installed one?
[10:41] <midori> greetings all
[10:41] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, thx man will try that
[10:41] <CaptainFrisbee> kazukisan, ok great!
[10:41] <cyberphaz> sadly, no .deb package..and the universe package is 2 versions behind :s
[10:41] <Sigi> vzduch: Under Mandriva 9.2 this Voodoo was working very fast in Unreal Tournament 2003! Now about 80FPS in glxgears
[10:41] <madfaxer> GRUB/Boot problem:  I installed Feisty Fawn on a portable HD. I then installed it to dual boot with XP. I no longer wish to run Ubuntu on the portable HD, just the internal dual boot. When i boot and choose Ubuntu, (External HD NOT connected) I get the following error message: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown wn-block(0,0).
[10:41] <midori> , i am looking to mount bin/cue files but i was wondering if i can just mount it instead of converting it to iso with bin2iso or something.  is there a way of mounting?
[10:41] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: there are ways to automatically start programs
[10:41] <blazemonger> are there any distros which are made by space aliens
[10:41] <bina> anybody have experience in thin client?
[10:42] <CaptainFrisbee> kazukisan, wait a minute
[10:42] <Tilllinux> JRsup1: well I obviously don't know if there are such video capture programs for linux... I know it works, because I tested it on windows ;)
[10:42] <compengi> cyberphaz, so if you want get the source and compile it :)
[10:42] <kazukisan> CaptainFrisbee, ?
[10:42] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: but first check to see if this works, okay? :)
[10:42] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, hmm for some strange reason session management in gnome does not work here
[10:42] <elementz> ok will brb
[10:42] <Sigi> vzduch: How long you will be here? Want to make some tests - mayby this will help to find the problem
[10:42] <CaptainFrisbee> kazukisan, try to remount with mount -a , and see if it still works
[10:42] <d4rkmonkey> cyberphaz, its easy to uninstall something that you compiled.
[10:42] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: yeah, i was scared of that. try soft reboot
[10:43] <vzduch> Sigi: I'm contemplating taking a walk outside.. nice evening here :)
[10:43] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: if you can't sudo, gnome won't let you switch off the computer
[10:43] <venish> clearzen: i installed avant preferences but its not working and is it the same thing as avant manager???
[10:43] <d4rkmonkey> cyberphaz, it also depends on what you use to compile I guess... when i'm compiling I just do make install, and to uninstall I go into its folder and do make uninstall. theres something like checkinstall which adds it into the package manager
[10:43] <kazukisan> CaptainFrisbee, Yep it still works :D
[10:43] <cyberphaz> hmm ok
[10:43] <Sigi> vzduch: have a nice walk than! Thank you for alll the help
[10:43] <genii> blazemonger: No space alien dists but if you sometimes hit a repository which is a time zone ahead your own it gives an odd warning
[10:43] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, strangely i've done that earlier -> not via the commandline though
[10:43] <CaptainFrisbee> kazukisan, ok even better!
[10:43] <rafael__> anyone plays KQ ?
[10:43] <midori> i am looking to mount bin/cue files but i was wondering if i can just mount it instead of converting it to iso with bin2iso or something.  is there a way of mounting?
[10:43] <vzduch> Sigi: thx :)
[10:43] <imbecile> het guys i'm having problems  gpg key for sources.list i just c/p my old sources from my last install.. here is the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31595/ thanks in advance
[10:44] <Flannel> midori: I don't believe s
[10:44] <kazukisan> CaptainFrisbee, Thanks for the help :D
[10:44] <d4rkmonkey> cyberphaz, if you want to be able to uninstall from synaptic, you should probably look for checkinstall, I tried it but didn't exactly know how to use
[10:44] <aricz> rafael, kq?
[10:44] <Flannel> !checkinstall | cyberphaz
[10:44] <ubotu> cyberphaz: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[10:44] <blairellis> Anyone help me get my monitor to display the correct settings?
[10:44] <CaptainFrisbee> kazukisan, no problem
[10:44] <d4rkmonkey> blairellis, I can try, what do you need?
[10:44] <Tilllinux> oh midori, I think i've seen something for it
[10:44] <Tilllinux> wait, just looking for the link
[10:44] <cyberphaz> ah thank you
[10:44] <venish> Flannel: i followed the instructions for avant manager it didnt work it only installed avant preferences and its not working

[10:45] <compengi> !ru | stassk8
[10:45] <JRsup1> Tilllinux: try VLC.  You should be able to get it from aptitude. it has an Open Caputre Device option on the file menu (at least in windoze) might be a good way to test and see if you can capture from your card.
[10:45] <ubotu> stassk8:    #ubuntu-ru       /  Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke
[10:45] <d4rkmonkey> blairellis, change the settings in there if you need to

[10:50] <Pie-rate>  /etc/asterisk is set up to have user "asterisk" and group "asterisk". i can't access it at all without sudo chmod or chowning it
[10:50] <solo> hi all
[10:50] <Pie-rate> how the hell am i supposed to get into it?
[10:50] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, clearzen all back to normal WOHOOO thx a lot guys!
[10:51] <iNcrease> can anyone tell me how to make my own logs?
[10:51] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, clearzen  so how would i go about to start firestarter then? shouldn't i follow this guide?
[10:51] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: yoo-hoo!
[10:51] <crolle17> i tried to print something out of gimp. but my printer is not in the list. so i get error-message (the second problem today...)
[10:51] <compengi> iNcrease, what do you mean by your own logs?
[10:51] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: which guide?
[10:51] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, clearzen  ups sry
[10:52] <Seoke> How do I check my system specs in Linux?
[10:52] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, clearzen http://www.fs-security.com/docs/faq.php
[10:52] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, what does the errormessage say?
[10:52] <elementz> Seoke, lshw
[10:52] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, yeah you're my captain today ;)
[10:52] <venish> can somebody help me get my avant manager to work???
[10:52] <iNcrease> compengi, well i try to make 1 log (or one directory for logs) where i eg can see when booted , when pc went down, when network has connected ...
[10:52] <Pie-rate> its permissions are drwxrwx---, would sudo chown asterisk:root /etc/asterisk make it so that root can edit it and asterisk can still r/w it?
[10:52] <compengi> Seoke, applications>accessories>disk usage analyzer
[10:52] <Seoke> Thanks
[10:53] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, clearzen btw can't autostart compiz-fusion and avant-window-manager either
[10:53] <compengi> Seoke, np :)
[10:53] <elementz> venish, what do you need?
[10:53] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, lp: error - no default destination available.
[10:53] <compengi> iNcrease, erm.. this can be found in administration>system logs
[10:53] <venish> elementz: well my avant window manager is not working properly
[10:53] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: you know, there's a good reason why ubuntu doesn't come with a userland firewall tool: no computer with statefull firewalls needs one
[10:54] <crolle17> printing from viwer works. but in gimp there is default-printer set.
[10:54] <iNcrease> compengi, i know but there some i dont need of them and some arent in it .. that i need:p
[10:54] <crolle17> viewer
[10:54] <venish> elementz: like when i use it a black bar appears blan
[10:54] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, does the printer use a parallel | USB  interface?
[10:54] <venish> blank
[10:54] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, "stateful firewalls" are what? sry i am not native english speaker
[10:54] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, yeah it's running by usb
[10:54] <crolle17> curious
[10:54] <elementz> venish, black bar? are u using beryl or compiz?
[10:55] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: i'd have thought you could add compiz-fusion to the .autostart file in $HOME/.gnome (?)
[10:55] <compengi> iNcrease, got to /var/logs i think you can find there what you are looking for
[10:55] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: what do you know about how firewalls work?
[10:55] <iNcrease> compengi, k ty
[10:55] <blairellis> d4rkmonkey: nada
[10:55] <compengi> iNcrease, np :)
[10:55] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, well i thought they just drop unallowed packets and pings
[10:55] <d4rkmonkey> blairellis ? after you did that did you try restarting your X server? (ctrl+alt+backspace)
[10:55] <blairellis> restarted x too...
[10:56] <d4rkmonkey> blairellis, you could always try actually editing the xserver file, I'm not too familiar with it though
[10:56] <venish> elementz: yes i am using beryl
[10:56] <blairellis> IIRC thats the method I used before...
[10:56] <d4rkmonkey> whats IIRC?
[10:56] <elementz> venish, hmm thats quite strange -> and where does that black bar appear?
[10:56] <blairellis> the one you gave me
[10:56] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: that's one thing a firewall can do. but something has to have gone wrong for a firewall to have to drop packets. the default situation for the kernel is to drop every packet
[10:56] <blairellis> If I remember correctly
[10:56] <venish> and when i click on avant window navagator a small black bar appears on the bottom of my screen with an icon and i cannot see my window
[10:57] <lnx^> heya. what filesystem would you recommend on a laptop? i don't want to lose data in any case, even if i suddenly run out of battery
[10:57] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, so gimp is searching for parallel although there is no printer on that port.
[10:57] <d4rkmonkey> blairellis, I gave you IIRC? lol I don't know what that is... have you tried directly editing the xorg.conf file?
[10:57] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, so actually there would be no need for a firewall at all in linux? is that correct?
[10:57] <howlingmadhowi1> lnx^: something with journaling
[10:57] <TimeTraveller> Is Pidgin a newer version of Gaim, or is it two diferent programs ?
[10:57] <Pichu0102> I have no issues with ext3 myself on this laptop.
[10:57] <d4rkmonkey> TimeTraveller, pidgin is a newer version of GAIM
[10:57] <blairellis> d4rkmonkey: IIRC = If I Remember Correctly
[10:57] <d4rkmonkey> oh lol
[10:57] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: i've never needed one for safety. firewalls are used for routing in linux
[10:58] <roxygirl> hey, i'm lookin for some sort of program to create a slideshow of pics (maybe DVD?) that doesn't involve alot of code, but operates like a drag and drop program.  any ideas?
[10:58] <elementz> venish, how did you install it? via svn? apt-get or tgz?
[10:58] <Pichu0102> Even on forceful poweroffs or battery deaths before the system can react, it still seems to stay alive.
[10:58] <imbecile> het guys i'm having problems  gpg key for sources.list i just c/p my old sources from my last install.. here is the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31595/ thanks in advance
[10:58] <venish> elementz: svn or i think both
[10:58] <d4rkmonkey> TimeTraveller, the name change was because GAIM was getting sued by AIM or something like that.. pidgin is a lot better IMO.
[10:58] <venish> elementz: not sure
[10:58] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, I don't know, lp is a standard command to do a print jon in linux
[10:58] <ashwino> hey guys
[10:58] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, job I meant
[10:58] <TimeTraveller> d4rkmonkey: ok because in my ubuntustudio i only have gaim, what the easyest way to upgrade it ?
[10:59] <lnx^> howlingmadhowi1: what would that be? i'm using ext3 now but it's rather slow
[10:59] <d4rkmonkey> TimeTraveller, I just compiled from source, you can download it at pidgin.im
[10:59] <capiira> hmmm hi what does ubuntu use, bash or dash? few people say dash few people say bash and others say both ! :)
[10:59] <compengi> TimeTraveller, download the source and compile it
[10:59] <d4rkmonkey> blairellis, try editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:59] <elementz> venish, try to remove it completely -> then install from apt-get as is explained in the forum -> i think u can use the svn version there -> with me it works just fine
[10:59] <TimeTraveller> d4rkmonkey: just downloaded it :)
[10:59] <d4rkmonkey> blairellis, I'm not very familiar with that file though
[10:59] <ashwino> I try to run a avi file in mplayer but it never goes full screen ..the image occupies a very small amount of the screen..any ideas what the problem could be
[10:59] <howlingmadhowi1> lnx^: ext3 has journalising. so does reiserfs and quite a few others. have a look on wikipedia
[10:59] <doudou> how could i know what process did last read or write to my disk?
[10:59] <ashwino> I'm using feisty fawn
[10:59] <venish> elementz: ok how do i remove it
[10:59] <capiira> last what i got is ubuntu uses "dash" for script execution, but bash for login shells.
[10:59] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, in the gimp if you click on "setup printer" and then "standard command" can you select a specific type of printer?
[11:00] <doudou> can i sort process or threads by disk access?
[11:00] <capiira> is this true
[11:00] <compengi> TimeTraveller, are you familiar with compiling?
[11:00] <capiira> ?
[11:00] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, on the Printer Queue combobox
[11:00] <elementz> venish, not sure to be honest -> maybe howlingmadhowi1 could help
[11:00] <TimeTraveller> compengi: nope, that the problem ... so if you know any tutorial or can tell me it would be nice
[11:00] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: if you had a large internet site, you'd need some good netfilter rules to distribute traffic, but that's about it
[11:00] <imbecile> how do i add gpg key to sources?
[11:00] <compengi> TimeTraveller, i could guild you
[11:00] <venish> howlingmadhowi1: can you help me remove avant
[11:01] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, there is only default printer for choosing
[11:01] <TimeTraveller> compengi: thanks !
[11:01] <crolle17> not the one i installed and which is working very well with other apps
[11:01] <d4rkmonkey> TimeTraveller, its fairly easy, I should've written something up when I did it, theres a bunch of packages you have to install to get some features of pidgin working properly
[11:01] <compengi> TimeTraveller, first open your terminal then "sudo apt-get install build-dep gaim"
[11:01] <howlingmadhowi1> venish: i'm afraid i don#t know what avant is
[11:02] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, hmm ok always thought i got my ass hangin out there without a firewall - i mean the firewalls logs show my various telnet attacks and such
[11:02] <venish> howlingmadhowi1: avant window navigator
[11:02] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: telnet isn't particularly safe. if you have it activated by default, i'd switch it off
[11:02] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, is there a printer Ready if you click on System-Administration-Printing ?
[11:03] <crolle17> yes
[11:03] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, how can i tell? man, i really hate myself for asking such questions already
[11:03] <crolle17> the one which is working fine in other applications.
[11:03] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, ok
[11:03] <howlingmadhowi1> venish: how did you install it?
[11:03] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, what is the brand of the printer?
[11:04] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, and trying to configure a new printer in gimp doesn't show the one have
[11:04] <crolle17> HP
[11:04] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: try 'ps aux | grep telnet*
[11:04] <crolle17> hp 6980
[11:04] <crolle17> deskjet
[11:04] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: sorry, i misstyped: 'ps aux | grep telnet'
[11:04] <blairellis> no dice bro...ill be back in a bit...gotta get some food
[11:04] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1,     6962  0.0  0.0   2896   784 pts/0    S+   23:04   0:00 grep telnet
[11:05] <dem0n> hello can i please hav some help setting an external mic up please
[11:05] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: okay, that's just your search query. telnet isn't running
[11:05] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, nice
[11:05] <elementz> thx
[11:05] <d4rkmonkey> Can someone explain to me what GTK+ Engines are?
[11:06] <compengi> dem0n, just plug your mic into input jack of your soundcard and it should work
[11:06] <dem0n> it wont
[11:06] <TimeTraveller> compengi: E: Couldn't find package build-dep
[11:06] <Juhaz> d4rkmonkey, they're what themes use to draw things.
[11:06] <Sir_Lewk> question: I have deleted /root, /dev, /bin, and possibly parts of other directories.  I restored these from the 7.04 livecd and am able to boot seemingly without problems, what should I do?
[11:07] <dem0n> i go to gnome_sound_recorder and it dose not work!
[11:07] <d4rkmonkey> Juhaz, does it make much of a difference if I get a different one?
[11:07] <Sir_Lewk> if anything
[11:07] <compengi> dem0n, then double click on the speaker icon near the clock and unmute microphone
[11:07] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: there's a nice graphical tool to check for open ports: System-> Administration-> Network Tools -> Port scan. enter 127.0.0.1 and then click "scan"
[11:07] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, there is a ppd-file mentioned. where is it located?
[11:07] <PriceChild> Sir_Lewk, I'd suggest a reinstall...
[11:07] <PriceChild> Sir_Lewk, You will have removed applications you've installed
[11:07] <Sigi> Anybody with Ubuntu + Voodoo3000 experience here? Bad 3D acceleration
[11:07] <Sir_Lewk> even if everything seems to be working?
[11:07] <dem0n> Compengi, its not muted
[11:08] <TimeTraveller> d4rkmonkey: it answerd: E: Couldn't find package build-dep    ??
[11:08] <Juhaz> d4rkmonkey, alone, it doesn't do anything, but if you also get a theme that uses it, it can make everything look pretty different
[11:08] <compengi> TimeTraveller, sorry without install in the command
[11:08] <Sir_Lewk> I have not noticed anything missing, I believe everything under /usr was untouched
[11:08] <dem0n> Any other suggestions?
[11:08] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, thx
[11:08] <d4rkmonkey> TimeTraveller, hmmm
[11:08] <dem0n> wait
[11:08] <dem0n> ok
[11:08] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: the list should be quite short on your computer
[11:08] <PriceChild> Sir_Lewk, I don't know what you've deleted. You don't even seem sure "possibly other directories"
[11:08] <doudou> can i sort process or threads by disk access?
[11:08] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, I have no idea
[11:08] <d4rkmonkey> TimeTraveller, I forget the name of the packages you need.. one second
[11:08] <DaHood> when an lcd monitor is connected to the analog port, what is the vertical frequency that should be used? 60Hz or 75Hz? and where do I set it?
[11:09] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, got five entries, wonder why tcp port 80 isn't listed
[11:09] <nickrud> Sigi, yeah, I had one of those; basic instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Voodoo3doesnotdo3d
[11:09] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, thx
[11:09] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: do you have a webserver installed and active on your computer?
[11:09] <compengi> TimeTraveller, the command is "sudo apt-get build-dep gaim" without install
[11:09] <Sigi> nickrud: Thankt a lot!!!!!!
[11:09] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, nope
[11:09] <Bill> hello
[11:09] <dem0n> now where its an ext mic but its recording on intmic and  when i change it to Ext mic it switches bak when i hit record
[11:09] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, oh yeah right - my bad
[11:09] <Sir_Lewk> I know that part of my /home was wiped, beyond that everything seems fine.  Perhaps if I mark everything for reinstallation in synaptic?  (which does work still)
[11:09] <venish> can some one tell me how to remove avant manager?
[11:09] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, do you have the gimp-print package installed?
[11:10] <dem0n> now where its an ext mic but its recording on intmic and  when i change it to Ext mic it switches bak when i hit record
[11:10] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: then that's why it isn't listed. when firefox requests something from port 80, it uses a much higher port as an answer address
[11:10] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, but sunrpc should that be open?
[11:10] <Bill> is fost 0 here
[11:10] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: i can see that too. i'm wondering what it is.
[11:10] <Bill> is frost 0 here
[11:10] <TimeTraveller> compengi: is it not:  "sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin" i should write ? i want pidgin not gaim
[11:10] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: oh yeah, it's okay. it's a portmapper
[11:11] <fsckr> when creating a conkyrc file using gedit I am trying to have my setup on one line, but when i get to the end of the screen in gedit it automatically starts me on a second line?  What editor can I use to have my setup one straight line?  I hope you understand what I mean.
[11:11] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, http://www.iss.net/security_center/advice/Services/SunRPC/default.htm
[11:11] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, yes. but there is a foomatic-db-gimp-print package. maybe it helps...
[11:11] <d4rkmonkey> TimeTraveller, easier way to do it, install this .deb http://www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=1045
[11:11] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, does not sound good
[11:11] <fsckr> example I am referring to is this http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=39096&d=1185478216
[11:11] <Tilllinux> JRsup1: I never used vlc before :( I'll have a look at this tomorrow, because I'm going to finish harry potter today... well, still some hundred pages to read ;)
[11:11] <TimeTraveller> d4rkmonkey: ok thanks !
[11:11] <d4rkmonkey> TimeTraveller, Look at the comments though.. some people seem to be having problems I'm not sure though
[11:11] <compengi> TimeTraveller, nope you are going to get dependencies necessary to compile that pidgin package
[11:12] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, what do you reckon?
[11:12] <Juhaz> fsckr, it doesn't really create another line, it just wraps it to make it easier to look at. you can turn that off in preferences
[11:12] <compengi> d4rkmonkey, yeah there are some problems with pidgin .deb package
[11:12] <TimeTraveller> d4rkmonkey: & compengi, ok thanks ... i will try on my on now ! :)
[11:13] <compengi> TimeTraveller, okay, take care :)
[11:13] <fsckr> Juhaz: well if its not on a straight line then my conky will not be in a straight line correct?  I will look in preferences and see if that makes a diff tyvm Juhaz
[11:13] <TimeTraveller> compengi: the same ! :)
[11:13] <Civik> How do you get all the widget type things on the desktop in ubuntu like your computers stats and stuff?
[11:13] <dem0n> now where its an ext mic but its recording on intmic and  when i change it to Ext mic it switches bak when i hit record
[11:13] <dem0n> its still not working just got it to switch to ent mic still messed up
[11:13] <ebienfait> NICK sdgsdgsd
[11:14] <CaptainFrisbee> crolle17, on http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_6980 you can download a ppd file for your printer
[11:14] <fsckr> hmm that doesn't seem to make a different
[11:14] <neverblue> how do I find info about a movie? audio/video info, from cli?
[11:14] <fsckr> difference
[11:14] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: one second.
[11:15] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, kk gues i should blacklist that port somehow somewhere
[11:15] <crolle17> CaptainFrisbee, i'll try it.
[11:15] <m_> downloaded beryl for ubuntu. can anyone please tell me how to install?
[11:16] <pramz> m_, did you install it via apt-get ?
[11:16] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: well, rpc is needed for network file shares (nfs). if you don't need nfs (a way of sharing information between unix computers on a network), you can switch off nfs in System-> Administration -> Services. i imagine this will also stop RPC
[11:16] <m_> no
[11:16] <m_> pramz: no
[11:16] <venish> can some one help me get Avant Manager????
[11:16] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, thx will try that -> but maybe i need it for vmware?
[11:17] <pramz> m_, please search on ubuntuforums.org , there are excellent howtos on installing beryl from ubuntu repos and compiz fusion (the new one)

[11:18] <neverblue> m_ please read that link
[11:18] <elementz> venish, otherwise make uninstall
[11:18] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: that would surprise me. if you do, you can just switch it back on. i'll see what i can find about rpc exploits
[11:18] <iFries> osxdude|desk, Juhaz: Thanks :) Just needed to be sure. Don't want to ruin my system .. :)
[11:18] <compengi> osxdude|desk, the package that ubuntu uses is .deb but there is no such package for ubuntu in pidgin website so you need to get the source and compile it
[11:18] <venish> elementz: yes i uninstalled
[11:18] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, thx man you are of great help!
[11:19] <elementz> venish, hold on

[11:21] <YeTr2> Bill: check your volume settings
[11:21] <elementz> venish ok
[11:21] <Bill> it turned up

[11:21] <YeTr2> Bill: all of them?
[11:21] <Bill> yep
[11:21] <fsckr> Omar you need to copy and paste xorg.log in order to find out what the problem is
[11:21] <YeTr2> Bill: are they unmuted?
[11:21] <Bill> yes
[11:21] <elementz> venish, http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository

[11:22] <Omar> where can i find it , am working on windows now
[11:22] <neverblue> compengi, thats not a very good answer
[11:22] <elementz> venish, via apt-get? maybe try the stable version

[11:23] <Bill> Creative Sound Blaster Live
[11:23] <madfaxer> i think i'll go cry back with windows sniff sniff

[11:28] <howlingmadhowi1> elementz: iptables is the command used to interact with the way the kernel deals with networking. you can do everything with it, but that also means you have to know what you're doing

[11:29] <Bill> can anyone help me with a sound issue
[11:29] <iFries> !ask | Bill
[11:29] <ubotu> Bill: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[11:30] <elementz> howlingmadhowi1, is port 902 for irc?
[11:30] <Bill> i just installed ubuntu and i can not get any sound all the drivers are installed correctly

[11:33] <blairellis> Time to reinstall Ubuntu AGAIN...
[11:33] <d4rkmonkey> blairellis, did you backup your xorg first?
[11:33] <compengi> !paste | Omar
[11:33] <ubotu> Omar: 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)
[11:34] <Bill> my volume is not muted
[11:34] <d4rkmonkey> blairellis, if not, check the file for an older xorg file, mine auto-backed up a bunch when i was working on it
[11:34] <Bill> and i can barely make out some sound in the fuzz
[11:34] <kevin4381> "  MD5Sum mismatch"  --- I'm getting a lot of this whenever I download new programs through add/remove or the package manager
[11:34] <wcf`> I compiled pidgon but am at a lost in figuring out how to run the program
[11:34] <compengi> Bill, try to higher the volume if it's nil
[11:34] <blairellis> d4rkmonkey: yes, but I dont know how I could get it back...I have no CLI that I can use
[11:34] <d4rkmonkey> blairellis, try restarting into recovery mode
[11:34] <Bill> i did
[11:34] <d4rkmonkey> its pure terminal
[11:34] <d4rkmonkey> and starts you as root I believe
[11:34] <blairellis> ok

[11:35] <Bill> how
[11:35] <pete83> blairellis: you can always get to a terminal by pressing alt-ctrl-f2
[11:35] <MikeRotch> look around
[11:35] <MikeRotch> it's a new window
[11:35] <kevin4381> why do I keep getting error messages that say:  "  MD5Sum mismatch"  --- I'm getting a lot of this whenever I download new programs through add/remove or the package manager

[11:40] <MikeRotch> bill did you manage to backup and open that file for editing?
[11:40] <kevin4381> pete -- all available software is selected from the add/remove area..

[11:42] <venish> can anybody tell me how to get windows XP virtual
[11:42] <Frischtransporte> amilo pa 1510
[11:42] <MikeRotch> venish the easiet way i have experienced is something called Qemu
[11:42] <vindbo> Edgan, this should work, right?
[11:42] <venish> MikeRotch: no i want vmware
[11:43] <venish> n2diy_: do you know how to install vmware
[11:43] <MikeRotch> oh ok, yea vmware's install looked too difficult for me
[11:43] <MikeRotch> haha
[11:43] <MikeRotch> sorry
[11:43] <Edgan> vindbo: are the files in outport/inbox in mbox format?
[11:44] <vindbo> Edgan, I don't know. looking at them from nautilus, they look like regular folders and html-files
[11:44] <MikeRotch> bill did you do the first command yet?
[11:44] <Bill> i typed in the command and its says cannot start
[11:44] <pete83> kevin4381: well go to ssytem>>administration>>software sources
[11:44] <_MK_> can anybody help me with setting a static ip address in ubuntu feisty for a wireless connection ?? please help!!
[11:44] <venish> does anybody know how to install VMWARE so i can use windows XP??
[11:44] <MikeRotch> after the second command?
[11:44] <Bill> can not state
[11:45] <Bill> **stat**
[11:45] <MikeRotch> dude i dunno did you uninstall your anything in synaptic
[11:45] <chrisLAbeard> would ubuntu work good on a 900MHZ Intel ?
[11:45] <Bill> i typed it in and i says can not stat no such file
[11:45] <MadFaxer> When I try to boot from Grub into Ubuntu it says: Starting up...    and then I get the error:     Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs unknown block (0,0)         I have tried reinstalling Grub several times, and it has NOT worked yet. What do I need to do??
[11:46] <compengi> chrisLAbeard, sure it would work on 300mhz too :)
[11:46] <chrisLAbeard> compengi just depends on the video card and ram i would imagine ?
[11:46] <tarzeau> chrisLAbeard: given enough memory, yes
[11:46] <MikeRotch> ok well i dunno
[11:46] <MikeRotch> without knowing your chipset model
[11:46] <MikeRotch> i can't really help much other than that sorry
[11:46] <tarzeau> chrisLAbeard: well and maybe not the slowest hard disks
[11:47] <compengi> chrisLAbeard, you would need some swap if you got low ram
[11:47] <Bill> i Am new at this
[11:47] <MikeRotch> yea you andme both
[11:47] <MikeRotch> i just had a bad problem that sound alot liek yours
[11:47] <vindbo> Edgan, ohh, man! It didn't work. Now the sidebar in Evolution is full of the names of the mails, and when i try accessing them (from the sidebar, not the main view) i get an error saying permission denied. How do I undo a terminal command like this?
[11:47] <chrisLAbeard> i have a maxtor HD but plenty of ram
[11:47] <MikeRotch> and i got a great easy fix but unfortunately i dunno what to do if you don't even have that file
[11:47] <n2diy_> venish: negative.
[11:47] <chrisLAbeard> the only problem right now is having a video card that supports open GL
[11:47] <MikeRotch> ask your question again maybe someone else will know
[11:48] <MikeRotch> =)
[11:48] <chrisLAbeard> and it seems like PCI video cards dont work very well
[11:48] <venish> n2diy_: do you know anybody that does???
[11:48] <Bill> MikeRotch, when i typed in the command it says can not stat  no such file
[11:49] <n2diy_> venish: no, I'm not even sure what it is? Virtual Machine SW?
[11:49] <chrisLAbeard> i have a Dell Intel Celeron some where around 2GhZ but it only has PCI slots and doesn't use DDR
[11:49] <chrisLAbeard> makes no sense why taht would be
[11:49] <venish> n2diy_: ok nevermind that do you know how to get avant manager so i can get that bar of icons
[11:49] <MikeRotch> yea bill i know i dunno what to do about that though
[11:49] <MikeRotch> sorry pal
[11:50] <Bill> ok
[11:50] <pete83> venish: why not use virtualbox?
[11:50] <MikeRotch> ask your main question again bill maybe someone else know
[11:50] <venish> pete83: virtual box? is that vmware server????
[11:50] <MikeRotch> also maybe find out your motherboard model or chipset numbers
[11:50] <n2diy_> venish: Did you check the repos? And what is vmwarej?
[11:50] <MikeRotch> =)
[11:50] <pete83> venish: virtualbox is an opensource alternative to vmware
[11:50] <nikolam> hello

[11:51] <venish> pete83: i want XP VIRTUAL it is better
[11:51] <MikeRotch> you get vmware from their website?
[11:51] <MadFaxer> Reinstalling GRUB is not helping my boot problem. When I try to boot from Grub into Ubuntu it says: Starting up...    and then I get the error:     Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs unknown block (0,0)         I have tried reinstalling Grub several times, and it has NOT worked yet.

[11:54] <nikolam> I can install xubuntu on plain disks , providing I enable software raid1 for it, But how to use Xp then?
[11:54] <nikolam> Virtualisation? Is it fast enought ?
[11:55] <osxdude|terminal> nikolam: GRUB has support to load more than one OS!
