[12:01] <neo> thx but it is very easy to use it
[12:01] <imbecile> anyone know if #ubuntu-xgl is still active?  ive asked awn question in there a few times and nobody has said anything.. in trying to find out how to get the mirrored look in screenshot for awn http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Cybertron+kore?content=63278
[12:01] <Meyvn> PriceChild: would a nice feature to add into gutsy :)
[12:01] <PriceChild> Meyvn, gconf-editor, then go to apps > nautilus > desktop > icon_view
[12:01] <jr> pricechild: do i have to upgrade 3 times? cause right now im upgrading from breezy to dapper, but do i have to go from dapper to edgy then to fiesty?
[12:01] <neo> but wat i ask is about network
[12:01] <PriceChild> Meyvn, then change thumbnail_size
[12:01] <PriceChild> jr, no
[12:01] <Meyvn> PriceChild: ah, cheers
[12:01] <jr> k ty
[12:01] <aricz> neo: 'sudo apt-get install nmap'
[12:01] <MajorPayne> neo: After you install it type man nmap.  That will tell you everything there is to know about it.
[12:01] <PriceChild> Meyvn, That's a guess... lemme know if it works :)
[12:01] <Anlar> jr: one step at a time is the safest method though
[12:01] <Meyvn> PriceChild: sure thing
[12:01] <erUSUL> imbecile: #ubuntu-effects
[12:01] <jrib> neo: k, then at least read through the guide about installing software that ubotu sent you so you can install 'nmap'
[12:02] <jr> Anlar,  yeah true :/ but im low on time
[12:02] <PriceChild> jr, there will be a one step upgrade from dapper to feisty +2 afaik
[12:02] <PriceChild> jr, stay on dapper, that is fine
[12:02] <jr> PriceChild, id rather be up to date
[12:02] <neo> thx
[12:02] <imbecile> erUSUL:  i think the channel is dead... nobody says anything there anymore
[12:02] <Anlar> jr: well, you could drop all extra packages first off, for instance have just ubuntu-minimal around.. then do it, it's fast. when on feisty, restore ubuntu-desktop
[12:02] <PriceChild> jr, dapper will be supported after feisty's support finishes
[12:02] <neo> but is netcut work with linux?
[12:02] <Anlar> jr: the minimal package is like 1/10th of it all
[12:03] <jr> PriceChild,  well from wat i hear, sun java is easier to run and install on fiesty
[12:03] <jr> Anlar,  no idea what you are saying lol
[12:03] <Anlar> jr: apt-get install sun-java6-jre etc :)
[12:03] <PriceChild> jr, yes, but its a lot more hastle getting there and things could go wrong
[12:03] <aricz> neo, netcat?
[12:03] <oninoshiko> i dont know what netcut is, nor do i really care... you'll have to do a little research
[12:03] <neo> no no
[12:03] <Meyvn> PriceChild: there's no thumbnail_size field there only to select/deselect them and display their names
[12:03] <neo> netcut
[12:03] <neo> swichsneefir
[12:03] <jr> Anlar,  omg ru serious theres an apt-get for sun java >_< iv had to manually do everything cause i could find it
[12:03] <neo> and more
[12:04] <neo> this programs run in windows inv
[12:04] <erUSUL> !java
[12:04] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[12:04] <Anlar> jr: you don't have to update everything to +1 and then to +1 and then to +1.. first remove everything that you don't really need and update,update,update, and re-install what you need. it's really fast that way, little amount of network traffic etc
[12:04] <PriceChild> jr, :O

[12:04] <neo> but i ask about some programs like it
[12:04] <jr> PriceChild,  no worries this laptop was completely unuseable i just reformated it from xp, it was so bad windows desktop wouldnt boot
[12:04] <PriceChild> jr, go to dapper, then follow ubotu's advice and use apt to do it.
[12:04] <jr> PriceChild,  ok
[12:04] <maltaethiron> hey all, i just downloaded a SuperNES emulator, how do i go about installing it
[12:04] <PriceChild> Meyvn, I have one on mine... but i'm not on feisty so may be new feature...
[12:04] <Meyvn> PriceChild: ah, wait....in /nautilus/icon_view
[12:04] <jr> Anlar,  i figure ill stay on dapper then upgrade when i have more time
[12:04] <ConfidentiaL> I am trying to set a terminal as my background through xwinwrap, but I can't seem to make it draw to the background, just open a new window. Could someone help me?
[12:05] <Meyvn> PriceChild: there's a default_zoom_level, not sure if that's the one I need
[12:05] <NigelS> personally I think feisty is a better release than dapper, it's silly to not upgrade
[12:05] <PriceChild> Meyvn, below that?
[12:05] <neo> want some programs that control my network :(
[12:05] <jr> PriceChild,  most likely i request a cd for fiesty within the week and ill upgrade when i get it
[12:05] <nebu> hi@all
[12:05] <MajorPayne> neo: What do you mean control your network?
[12:06] <maltaethiron> hey all, i just downloaded a SuperNES emulator, how do i go about installing it
[12:06] <neo> limte download speed
[12:06] <bobodclown> maltaethiron: im a bit new myself but may be able to help, what format have you downloaded it in?
[12:06] <neo> sea and cut trafic
[12:06] <oninoshiko> neo: lots of programs can control your network... i like these two called "iptables" and "perl"
[12:06] <MajorPayne> neo: What is "limte"?
[12:06] <Anlar> jr: if you compare dapper to feisty.. dapper really is middle ages, I feel kinda sorry for you :)
[12:06] <Meta4ical> Happened again ..
[12:07] <Meyvn> PriceChild: thanks anyhow, I'll go google/wiki it. I'm bound to find the correct field there
[12:07] <Meyvn> PriceChild: I will let you know
[12:07] <jrib> maltaethiron: snes9x is in ubuntu's universe repository.  Just install the 'snes9x' package with your favorite package manager
[12:07] <jr> Anlar,  :) meh ill upgrade soon enuf, if u want middle ages i still have windows workspace 3.1
[12:07] <neo> limit
[12:07] <neo> :)
[12:07] <jr> Anlar,  sorry more like stone ages
[12:07] <oninoshiko> Anlar: i fell kinda middle ages with feisty... atleast on x86-64
[12:07] <Meta4ical> Following Method 1 of this guide, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI  as soon as I reboot my screen goes black before I reach the GDM
[12:07] <NigelS> jr: that was dark ages :)
[12:07] <maltaethiron> thanks jrib
[12:07] <jr> NigelS,  hahaha yes
[12:07] <jr> 3.2 inch flops
[12:07] <jrib> maltaethiron: oops, actually 'snes9x-x' is in the *mutliverse* repository
[12:08] <oninoshiko> im strongly considering reinstalling gentoo
[12:08] <jr> i cried when i opend it lol
[12:08] <maltaethiron> ok thanks, jrib
[12:08] <Anlar> oninoshiko: 64 still requires some dark and forbitten rituals :)
[12:08] <neo> with windows i could fully control my net work by some programs like sniffing tools
[12:08] <oninoshiko> yes, i noticed
[12:08] <neo> i want some tools like it
[12:09] <oninoshiko> neo, whe have told you about packetsniffers and port scanners for linux

[12:11] <exile> Really newbie question: I checked a bunch of unix dictionaries I can't figure it out. I'm trying to run a ventrilo server from the command prompt and it says to just type the name of the file and it'll run "ventrilo_srv" but when I do "sudo ventrilo_srv" (from the directory the file is in) it just says 'command not found'
[12:11] <Anlar> oninoshiko: nono. perl is pain. :)
[12:11] <oninoshiko> no, python is a pain
[12:12] <jr> lol yes python is a pain
[12:12] <MajorPayne> exile: Try sudo ./ventrilo_serv
[12:12] <jr> but its simple
[12:12] <neo> avis thx alot ;0
[12:12] <neo> :)
[12:12] <MajorPayne> exile: Your current directory is not in your path.
[12:12] <Dusk_> my dvdrw is too slow...is it possible that serial ata is disabled or something else is wrong??
[12:12] <oninoshiko> jr right up untill you put space twice inseted of once
[12:12] <Anlar> oninoshiko: I made once a python script, that run as user managed to crash linux kernel.. reproductible each time reliably.
[12:12] <jr> lol haha
[12:12] <exile> MajorPayne: that worked.. if I do sudo ./ventrilo_srv & will it run it in the background?
[12:13] <Injen> perl owns..
[12:13] <Injen> :)
[12:13] <jr> oninoshiko, i know what thats like my games baisicly supported by python, well was
[12:13] <MajorPayne> exile: Kinda.  But if you close the terminal it will stop.
[12:13] <aricz> C .. \o/
[12:13] <Dusk_> my dvdrw is too slow...is it possible that serial ata is disabled or something else is wrong??
[12:13] <oninoshiko> anlar: did you send it to MKML?
[12:13] <MajorPayne> exile: I suggest start-stop-daemon.
[12:13] <spheard> could everyone please click this link, I am trying to generate some server logs to test a bug I think I have just fixed :-) http://www.moonet.co.uk
[12:13] <oninoshiko> LKML*
[12:13] <mmcji> howdee
[12:13] <Injen> I write C in perl :P
[12:14] <Anlar> oninoshiko: bugzilla.kernel.org and yeah, they fixed it for the next kernel release
[12:14] <avis> Dusk_, i am not sure what the SATA "AHCI" setting exactly is but i could swear that i saw performance inprovement putting it into this mode
[12:14] <mmcji> i am interested in having multiple sshd's running on different ports, anyone here done this with ubuntu
[12:14] <Anlar> oninoshiko: in fact, it was fixed in ~4 hours :)
[12:14] <mmcji> currntly im running the lastest ubuntu-server
[12:14] <MajorPayne> exile: Are you sure you need to run that as root btw?
[12:14] <exile> I'm just running it as root to make sure it works lol
[12:14] <oninoshiko> Anlar: generally you'd expect a panic to be fixed quickly :p
[12:15] <Anlar> oninoshiko: it wasn't panic. it was hard lock.
[12:15] <Dusk_> avis, what can i do do you know??
[12:15] <Meyvn> PriceChild: found it >> open nautilus, menu Edit > Prefrences, tab View and play with Icon view defaults section
[12:15] <exile> MajorPayne: I'm really new to this, I'm just trying to find a way to get it to run in the background, all of these tutorials tell me to do different things, it's getting complicated
[12:15] <oninoshiko> Anlar: hrm... wow
[12:15] <MajorPayne> exile: Ahh.  I doubt you need root.  I would suggest not running it as root.  Infact, giving it its own user and using start-stop-daemon is most likely your best bet.
[12:15] <avis> Dusk i enabled it in my bios settings.  ubuntu simply ran faster.  if i'm not mistaken ahci is a sata bios setting
[12:16] <lhoerste> does anyone know a good guide for setting up raid 1 on an already existing Ubuntu install?
[12:16] <alesan> how do you say dvd burner in german? anybody can help me?
[12:16] <avis> for things like sata dvdroms etc
[12:16] <PriceChild> Meyvn, woo much simpler :)
[12:17] <Dusk_> avis, i enabled it on bios but it's still slow i think..let me search on the net
[12:17] <nj786> hey does anybody know how to get the bar of icons the pannel
[12:17] <nj786> like the mac OS
[12:17] <Anlar> oninoshiko: someone had optimized one of the most important device drivers.. to save roughly 5 clock cycles per second in total..
[12:17] <Meyvn> PriceChild: only downside is that the iconsize is incremental i.e. 100% 75% 50% etc.
[12:18] <Meyvn> PriceChild: decremental even :)
[12:18] <MikeRotch> is there anyone here that can help with rdesktop and seamlessrdp on a Windows XP VMWare machine in ubuntu??

[12:20] <genesis> are you sleeping??
[12:20] <genesis> jajaj!
[12:20] <PriceChild> hustlebird, sure its not a 650 cd? because that doesn't make sense otherwise :)
[12:20] <lhoerste> !raid > me
[12:20] <jr> hustlebird,  normally 11 mb of anything put into a computer is rendered invalid or used
[12:20] <dem0n> ....
[12:21] <hustlebird> says 700mb on the case
[12:21] <jr> hustlebird,  for example a 128 mb usb disk drive shows up as 119mb useable
[12:22] <jr> hustlebird,  try compressing whatever you are trying to burn
[12:22] <hvgotcodes> hey im having wireless trouble -- i can connect to an open network but not a wep encrypted one
[12:22] <oninoshiko> anyone know why im getting the message "GThread-ERROR **: GThread system may only be initialized once." when i try and run synfigstudio?
[12:22] <hustlebird> can i compress the ubuntu iso?
[12:23] <Cyrus25801> hi, i just found a video file on my pc. everytime i try and open it it tells me it has been encrypted. i cant even open it in windows.can someone help
[12:23] <jr> hustlebird,  pretty sure
[12:23] <hustlebird> will it still work if i try to boot up from it
[12:23] <Injen> no hustlebird
[12:24] <mmcji> nm, i found it..thanks though
[12:24] <mmcji> PriceChild: what did you want to know?
[12:24] <oninoshiko> hustlebird: an ISO is not a file you just burn to a CD... it is an image of a CD
[12:25] <mmcji> o he quit
[12:25] <hvgotcodes> can anyone help me with my wireless network problem?
[12:25] <nj786> does anybody know how to get that pannel of icons (the bar)
[12:25] <hustlebird> how do i burn it so i can get the new ubuntu installed?
[12:25] <Pricey> mmcji, ?
[12:25] <Jack_Sparrow> hustlebird: the ubuntu iso is already compressed..
[12:25] <avis> hustlebird, i have no trouble burning cd isos to dvd media.  if you still have problems its most likely because you haven't given nautilus enough time to respond
[12:25] <mmcji> the user logged out
[12:25] <rockets> I just fixed the WiFi at my local coffee shop for free. Should I bill'em?
[12:25] <MajorPayne> nj786: What pannel of icons do you want?
[12:25] <rockets> :-D
[12:25] <Jack_Sparrow> hustlebird: right click the iso and write to cd
[12:25] <nj786> MajorPayne: just a ba rof icons
[12:25] <Pricey> mmcji, I am PriceChild :)
[12:26] <MajorPayne> nj786: You can add stuff to your pannel by right clicking on the pannel and clicking add to pannel.
[12:26] <hustlebird> tried that, says insert a cd with at least 698mb free space
[12:26] <ubuntu_noob> Someone help me with partitioning?
[12:26] <nj786> MajorPayne: yes but i want it like this
[12:26] <nj786> MajorPayne: hold
[12:26] <Jack_Sparrow> hustlebird: most new cds have that..
[12:26] <oninoshiko> hustlebird: is your cd blank?
[12:26] <mmcji> # cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hdc isoimage.iso
[12:26] <Jack_Sparrow> hustlebird: even if it says 701 meg free. it will still work

[12:26] <hustlebird> yes, just bought it
[12:27] <mmcji> sub hdc for your rw drive id
[12:27] <ubuntu_noob> Can someone answer some partitioning questions?
[12:27] <MajorPayne> !ask | ubuntu_noob
[12:27] <ubotu> ubuntu_noob: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:27] <avis> shavex you sound like you need multimedia codecs
[12:27] <hustlebird> where is nautilus
[12:27] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu_noob: Just ask your question.. if we know we will help
[12:27] <shavex> its beenable to play before tho, why now would it stop working?
[12:28] <Jack_Sparrow> hustlebird: You dont need nautilus to burn..
[12:28] <ubuntu_noob> How can I resolve the error that the space I'm trying to free is 'too big'?
[12:28] <avis> hustlebird, its the file manager native to gnome in ubuntu.  it also takes care of the right click on .iso write (burn) function
[12:28] <Jack_Sparrow> hustlebird: You can get nautilus by typing it in a terminal/cli
[12:28] <nj786> MajorPayne: http://i19.tinypic.com/4qdwx7q.png
[12:28] <ubuntu_noob> I'm trying to reduce the size of my xp partition with GParted on the ubuntu livecd
[12:29] <Ayabara> anyone using mplayer here who could check which video codec it chooses when playing a wmv file?
[12:29] <chino> does ubuntu do some type of magic or is hibernation etc... all handled by the kernel ?
[12:29] <nj786> MajorPayne: scroll down
[12:29] <[phear] crippler|> hey guys
[12:29] <avis> Ayabara, w32codecs.  i'd try the seveas repository
[12:29] <ubuntu_noob> I've made the space I'm trying to free smaller and smaller, untill there's not enough room to install ubuntu, so I stopped making it smaller
[12:29] <MajorPayne> nj786: I don't know.
[12:29] <ChrisF-> greetings
[12:29] <nj786> MajorPayne: did you see it?
[12:30] <Ayabara> avis: ah. thanks
[12:30] <ChrisF-> in Beryl, when I rotate to other desktops, the top of the cube is a red picture with the jewel in it.  Any way of changing this?
[12:30] <MajorPayne> nj786: Yes.
[12:30] <nj786> does anybody know how to get a pannel like this onto your desktop?     http://i19.tinypic.com/4qdwx7q.png
[12:30] <Injen> Been a minute since I've seen someone here from Chocolate City :P
[12:30] <bobodclown> Lo all, sorry for the very noob question but when linux hangs.. is there anything i can press (ctrl-alt-del equivalent?)
[12:30] <hustlebird> if go to properties on the cd it says size unknown
[12:31] <quaal> nj786, yes
[12:31] <ChrisF-> nj786: It is avant window manager
[12:31] <avis> bobodclown, if you mean your xserver then ctrl-alt-backspace
[12:31] <ChrisF-> something like that... google "avant ubuntu"
[12:31] <nj786> quaal: can you show me
[12:31] <nj786> ChrisF-: yes but i dont want it to show what programs i am running
[12:31] <ubuntu_noob> Is there a GParted irc channel?
[12:31] <quaal> nj786, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981
[12:31] <Jack_Sparrow> hustlebird: Insert a blank cd.. they usually say 700 meg on them anyhow...  next.. right click the *.iso and select write to dick.
[12:32] <quaal> write to dick!

[12:32] <unagi> anyone here use maya or shake?
[12:32] <tannerld> does ubuntu have good joystick support?
[12:32] <hustlebird> tried that with like 5 blank cds always says insert a disc with at least 698mb free space
[12:32] <oninoshiko> bobodclown: if your in the GUI you can try "ctrl-alt-backspace" if you can ssh in (and this is even better) you can use top and ps to find the dead process and kill it
[12:33] <hvgotcodes> can someone at least tell me which files are relevant to wireless networking on ubunutu?
[12:33] <Jack_Sparrow> quaal: and you just HAD to repeat my typo... I am proud of you..
[12:33] <nj786> quaal: ok i dont understand what to do on the link you gave me
[12:33] <unagi> hustlebird have you tried extracting the files and burning them hustlebird
[12:33] <quaal> nj786, can you not read?
[12:33] <MajorPayne> bobodclown: Use kill.  Or if you want use xkill, that is handy.
[12:33] <MajorPayne> bobslaede: No need to ssh in.
[12:33] <quaal> it tells you EXACTLY what to do.
[12:34] <shavex> whenever i try to play music it says resource not available or busy, how do i get it to stop saying that?
[12:34] <nj786> quaal: yes i know but the thing is there is more than 1 and i dont know anything about avant manager
[12:34] <Jack_Sparrow> quaal: what type,brand of cd's do you have?
[12:34] <avis> hustlebird, you could try the package 'graveman' and under duplicate cd change the source to iso file then the target to your burner.  might as well try something else
[12:34] <hustlebird> o, don't know how.  need a bootable ubuntu version though
[12:34] <oninoshiko> MajorPayne: ive had X get hung up on an offending process before...
[12:34] <sexcopte1> hi there. can anyone tell me how to stop calc from changing July 2007 to 01/07/07?
[12:34] <quaal> nj786, the thread tells you exactly what to do to install avant
[12:34] <oninoshiko> but i think that was in the XFree days
[12:34] <quaal> if you cannot follow simple instructions you should probably not be using a computer
[12:34] <MajorPayne> oninoshiko: Then switch to a vertual terminal.
[12:34] <quaal> its like 2 steps.
[12:34] <Injen> hustlebird: you on win?
[12:35] <quaal> maybe 3
[12:35] <unagi> nj786: do you know anything about installing packages?
[12:35] <hustlebird> no, don't have win
[12:35] <shavex> whenever i try to play music it says resource not available or busy, how do i get it to stop saying that?
[12:35] <nj786> unagi: it depends what do you mean? synaptic?
[12:35] <quaal> Jack_Sparrow, i have uh.. fujifilm
[12:35] <unagi> if you add those source debs then yes i  mean synaptic
[12:35] <hustlebird> just got a computer with nothing on it and all i had was old ubuntu
[12:36] <Jack_Sparrow> hustlebird: do they have any number on them like 650 or 700..
[12:36] <oninoshiko> MajorPayne: the incedednt in question it was not accepting keyboard input
[12:36] <hustlebird> 700
[12:36] <Jack_Sparrow> hustlebird: Are you sure there is nothing already on those cd's
[12:36] <avis> hustlebird, graveman is worth a try.
[12:36] <hustlebird> just bought them
[12:36] <unagi> nj786: avant window navigator has been nice to me
[12:36] <MajorPayne> oninoshiko: Ok.  Most often you can kill the process without using ssh.
[12:37] <hustlebird> how do i do that
[12:37] <nj786> unagi: does it show what program is currently running?
[12:37] <Jack_Sparrow> hustlebird: I need to ask a dumb question, are you sure you have the shiny sude down.
[12:37] <Jack_Sparrow> side
[12:37] <unagi> does what show what what program is runing
[12:37] <hustlebird> yes
[12:37] <bobodclown> lo all, sorry if someone answered this but computer crashed! what should i do when ubuntu hangs? is there a Ctrl-alt-del equivalent?
[12:37] <Jack_Sparrow> hustlebird: then there is no reason they will not work
[12:37] <hustlebird> no shiny side though they're black
[12:37] <stuart-> ubuntu hangs? that's weird
[12:37] <unagi> bobodclown: gnome-system-monitor
[12:37] <unagi> i dont know if there is a keystroke for it or not
[12:37] <naomits> Good evening
[12:37] <avis> bobodclown, if yo mean the xserver you can ctrl-alt-backspace to kill x
[12:38] <unagi> avis that isnt what he means
[12:38] <MajorPayne> BriPed: Type alt-f2, type xkill and click on the bad program.
[12:38] <unagi> he is looking for a process monitor
[12:38] <MajorPayne> bobslaede: Err, whops, ^^
[12:38] <hustlebird> thought they might not work with the burner but recorded mps that worked fine
[12:38] <avis> well theoretically if ubuntu is locked up i dont know how he would access one
[12:38] <keen> can i get help installing ubuntu here
[12:39] <MajorPayne> !ask | keen
[12:39] <ubotu> keen: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:39] <Injen> hustlebird: providing the discs are burned right, and bios is pointing to cd-rom. Shouldn't have that problem. Have another cd drive? set that as primary and try that? You can use any old cd drive to boot from.
[12:39] <keen> !ask
[12:39] <unagi> i didnt see him say anything about locking up
[12:39] <norbini> hey all
[12:39] <unagi> my bad
[12:39] <unagi> lol
[12:39] <hvgotcodes> noone here can help with a wireless question/ tell me which files are relevant?
[12:39] <unagi> !crash
[12:39] <ubotu> For help debugging your program, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures
[12:39] <hustlebird> can't get it to burn, that's the problem
[12:39] <unagi> bobodclown: what do you mean by crash
[12:40] <unagi> !doesnt work
[12:40] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[12:40] <ubuntu_noob> How do I disable the windows swap file?
[12:40] <unagi> i love that one lol
[12:40] <Injen> Then that is a problem. :)
[12:40] <avis> hvgotcodes, i seem to be able to connect wirelessly with WEP/WPA using gnome's network manager without issue
[12:40] <unagi> that is a good question ubuntu_noob
[12:40] <MajorPayne> ubuntu_noob: That is not a Ubuntu question.
[12:40] <MajorPayne> !windows | ubuntu_noob
[12:40] <unagi> actually MajorPayne i would love to know the answer
[12:40] <oninoshiko> hvgotcodes: the "relevent files" is dependent on a number of factors, such as you wifi-chipset
[12:40] <ubotu> ubuntu_noob: 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
[12:40] <ubuntu_noob> I'm doing this to try and install ubuntu
[12:40] <unagi> how to get the pc to seek grub first
[12:40] <hvgotcodes> avis: i can when my network is open
[12:40] <hvgotcodes> not when it is encrypted
[12:40] <bobodclown> unagi: in gnome, it hangs, ie mouse moves but clicks dont register, no keyboard shrotcut seem to work
[12:41] <avis> hvgotcodes, are you running something other than feisty ?
[12:41] <unagi> ubuntu_noob: if windows is installed first grub will automatically overwrite it or it should
[12:41] <keen> i'm trying to instal ubuntu on my dell insiron e1505 and i can't boot from the cd because of graphical errors, any idea on what to do?
[12:41] <hvgotcodes> oninoshiko: ipw2200 im pretty sure not a driver problem
[12:41] <bobodclown> unagi: i think its gnome (the default windows for ubuntu?)
[12:41] <unagi> ctrl + alt + backspace restarts the x server
[12:41] <hvgotcodes> avis: feisty
[12:41] <unagi> usually works
[12:41] <norbini> could anyone help with a problem i'm having? my system seems to think pressing the shift key means i'm also pressing the control key, and vice versa.
[12:41] <neo> hi all
[12:41] <bobodclown> unagi: tried that and no luck! any other key combos that might help?
[12:41] <neo> if i manually download software
[12:41] <unagi> no...sounds like a video problem
[12:42] <unagi> are you running beryl?
[12:42] <dylanmoore> hello, i was wondering if anyone could assist me with a bcm43xx wireless issue
[12:42] <neo> how can i setup it?
[12:42] <_nnx_> After doing some reinstallations to fix problems after an upgrade, UDev started acting REALLY REALLY weird.  Now when I boot it dumps messages to the console for a good three minutes straight.  Anyone have any ideas?
[12:42] <hustlebird> anyone know if there is a smaller ubuntu iso anywhere?\
[12:42] <MajorPayne> neo: How is the software packaged?
[12:42] <unagi> hustlebird: a cd has 700mb of space on it.....
[12:42] <neo> .tar.gz
[12:42] <kitche> !mini | hustlebird
[12:42] <ubotu> hustlebird: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[12:42] <neo> and i can extract it
[12:43] <MajorPayne> !compile | neo
[12:43] <ubotu> neo: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:43] <hvgotcodes> avis: it might have somethign to do with avahi
[12:43] <hustlebird> thanx i'll try that
[12:43] <hvgotcodes> when im connected to an open network i only see eth1
[12:43] <avis> i think so hvgotcodes i dont use avaji and its rather straightforward
[12:44] <unagi> anyone know the name of the network manager for mandriva or perhaps a better one or one similar to that one......
[12:44] <hvgotcodes> avis: avahi was on this machine by default -- this is  a fresh install
[12:44] <keen> is there anyway to install fiesty, even tho i can't load any graphical drivers?
[12:44] <kitche> unagi: umm the title should say it's name
[12:45] <hvgotcodes> trying to remove avahi removes ubuntu-desktop
[12:45] <unagi> it sits in the system tray
[12:45] <avis> hvgotcodes, then i suspect that isn't the problem
[12:45] <kitche> unagi: that is just a panel add on
[12:45] <Poz> sup
[12:45] <kitche> unagi: xfce kde has it not sure about gnome though
[12:45] <neo> thx :)
[12:45] <hvgotcodes> when i connect to open i have just eth1, when i try to connect to wep i have eth1 and eth1:avahi
[12:45] <Poz> does anyone know how to install the new ati drivers
[12:45] <unagi> whats it called for kde
[12:45] <unagi> and if i install it do i have to install kde?
[12:45] <Poz> for an ati 1100 xpress
[12:46] <unagi> its just i would love to be able to refresh my wireless list
[12:46] <unagi> i steal peoples internet
[12:46] <unagi> lol
[12:46] <norbini> when i use the keyboard prefs in system-preferences-keyboard and click 'layouts.. add' it shows me that pressing shift makes x think i'm pressing control also. and vice versa.
[12:46] <kitche> unagi: gnome should have soemthing like that also
[12:46] <unagi> ud think so....can anyone drop a name for gnome?
[12:46] <Injen> I've been using my next door "hotels" open proxy for years :P
[12:46] <avis> unagi i believe its gnome-network-manager
[12:46] <norbini> odd that i have the same problem on the console
[12:47] <kitche> unagi: right click and add applet to panel it's called network-something or other
[12:47] <dylanmoore> hello, i was wondering if anyone could assist me with a bcm43xx wireless issue
[12:47] <dylanmoore> card is seeing APs but not connecting
[12:47] <unagi> network monitor
[12:47] <unagi> nmot quite what i was seeking
[12:48] <unagi> man id love to have the mandriva one it was quite nice
[12:48] <unagi> or one similar
[12:48] <Mezme1> is anyone familiar with the AD1981HD audio codec? I'm using a thinkpad X61 and the sound isn't working correctly... I tried the forum help and for some reason it's not working...
[12:48] <unagi> oninoshiko: you find someone dumb enough to not secure their wireless router
[12:48] <ubuntu_noob> Windows defragmenter is aweful!
[12:48] <ubuntu_noob> Hmm.
[12:49] <oninoshiko> unagi: and then you can deprive the owners of the internet of it?
[12:49] <jvai> unagi, add gnome-network manager from synaptic.. also. i was successful with it
[12:49] <oninoshiko> maybe take it home with you
[12:49] <Injen> Secured wireless routers wep's are cracked in 15 minutes.
[12:49] <jvai> <-- on dapper
[12:49] <oninoshiko> i imagine that would take a big harddrive
[12:49] <Meta4ical> indeed
[12:49] <oninoshiko> maybe a sun thumper
[12:49] <Moniker42> how do i convert kvcd to something remotely useful?
[12:49] <unagi> i dont have gnome-network in my list
[12:50] <Meta4ical> imagine the fun people have with 192.168.1.1 on unsecured routers.
[12:50] <norbini> recently, pressing caps-lock turned down the volume on the sound card as well as toggling caps lock.
[12:50] <norbini> i have no idea where to start trying to troubleshoot this problem
[12:50] <Mezme1> jvai/unagi: it doesn't always work on feisty, I just finished working on a HP zv6000 with similar problems
[12:50] <dylanmoore> !bcm43xx
[12:50] <ubotu> Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[12:50] <avis> Meta4ical, that happened to me once.  i freaked.  neighbor is nice enough to share i dont dare abuse it
[12:51] <unagi> what problems
[12:51] <jvai> Mezme1, with both gnome nm & plain nm togethr?
[12:51] <needhelp> Hi, have trouble getting the printer (HP Deskjet 3940) to work. Clicking System->Admin->Printing->New Printer: no printers detected. The printer is connected to USB and power is on. What else could be wrong ?
[12:51] <Mezme1> at one point or another yes
[12:51] <Mezme1> I went through several different scenarios
[12:51] <Injen> As long as the wlan router isn't loging, oh well. :)
[12:51] <unagi> what problems Mezme1
[12:51] <Mezme1> ah
[12:51] <orbisvicis> !usb-snd-audio
[12:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb-snd-audio - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[12:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-nm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:52] <hvgotcodes> how do i tell networking to restart?
[12:52] <bunnyfly> Is there a way to not allow windows tops to extend above the Gnome menu? I'm running a program that captures the mouse - alt-move is then disabled, and I can't see the top centimeter of the app or move it!
[12:52] <MajorPayne> !printing | needhelp
[12:52] <ubotu> needhelp: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[12:52] <quaal> does anyone run avant
[12:52] <avis> hvgotcodes, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[12:52] <Mezme1> that would be seeing the wireless networks and not being able to access the internet (even though feisty thought it was accessing them)
[12:52] <jvai> i was only succesful with nm when i added both gnome nm & regular nm
[12:52] <jvai> & a reboot
[12:52] <Mezme1> and not seeing the access points
[12:52] <unagi> where did you fined them jvai
[12:52] <shavex> how do you look at your devices from the terminal?
[12:53] <MajorPayne> shavex: ls /dev
[12:53] <jvai> in synaptic... enable restricted , universe & multiverse
[12:53] <atrus> any idea why i can connect to my wpa wireless at home, but not any open unencryted ones elsewhere? wifi-radar connects to them fine.
[12:54] <rlount> atrus: you have essid set to "any"?
[12:54] <unagi> im going to try this knetwork
[12:54] <rlount> if the essid is set to your home lan then it won't pick up any others.
[12:54] <atrus> rlount: not sure, i'm just using network-manager to select the network i want to connect to
[12:55] <shavex> how do you see just a list of hard drives?
[12:55] <rlount> That's my main issue with an applet for interface control.
[12:55] <bunnyfly> Hello, is there a way to not allow windows tops to extend above the bottom of the Gnome menu, especially when the app loads?
[12:55] <rlount> have you tried the command line?
[12:55] <atrus> rlount: except it doesn't work outside my home. wifi-radar, or manually connecting on the command line works fine.
[12:55] <jvai> i know 1 thing.. nm has issues working with external wifi cards
[12:55] <unagi> sweet
[12:55] <Dragnslcr> Anyone here worked with kvm? When I try to start a virtual machine, it hangs at "Loading..." and uses 100% of one of my CPU cores
[12:55] <unagi> knetwork looks nice
[12:56] <intelikey> is there never an op in #kubuntu any more ?
[12:57] <tannerld> how can one get a list of proccess running on a users account?
[12:57] <rlount> atrus: I have a hunch NM is the culprit. you can try doing things the manual way in /etc/network/interfaces but you then have to turn NM on and off when manually mucking.
[12:57] <atrus> rlount: yes, the command line works fine for the unencrypted networks, and network-manager works for the encrypted ones, i'd just like to get both working from network-manager.
[12:57] <rlount> atrus: thats always the goal =)
[12:57] <intelikey> tannerld pstree ?
[12:57] <atrus> rlount: which sucks when apps like pidgin/gaim won't connect because they think the network is down, because network-manager says so.
[12:57] <norbini> tannerld: ps -fade -U username
[12:57] <unagi> ok knetwork doesnt seem to be as nice as i thought
[12:58] <tannerld> intelikey: with their pid?
[12:58] <PriceChild> intelikey, i'l take a look in #kubuntu
[12:58] <unagi> all i want is a network manager that will allow me to refresh the connection list.....is that so much to ask?
[12:58] <Mezme1> anyone know how to use mercurial on ubuntu? I read that using it to update alsa drivers might get sound working on new implementations of the AD1981HD codec
[12:58] <jvai> rlount u r using an external wifi card?
[12:58] <intelikey> tannerld there is a switch yes
[12:58] <atrus> i just can't figure out why network-manager would work in the complicated wpa case, but fail on plain old ordinary no-frills open wireless.
[12:58] <rlount> jvai, no, centrino
[12:58] <jvai> oo ok
[12:58] <avis> atrus i dont know either but you have me worried
[12:58] <rlount> I have used the gold cards (orinico) but with much headache w/ NM
[12:59] <atrus> been looking for a solution to this for a couple months with no luck :/
[12:59] <rlount> I ditched NM soon after.
[12:59] <jvai> me too @ rlount..
[12:59] <rlount> it kills kismet too.
[12:59] <shavex> what does this mean... sudo mount /dev/sda1
[12:59] <shavex> mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[12:59] <oninoshiko> i used to have an orrinoco... they worked soo nice
[12:59] <kitche> shavex: exactly as the error says
[12:59] <Orfeous> where can i find/download "Application: octet-stream" ?
[12:59] <Orfeous> my KDE says that it is missing
[12:59] <kitche> shavex: mount /dev/sda1 <mount point> is what you want
[12:59] <jvai> when i had the thinkpad 600x working on hoary, i used network applet
[01:00] <darren> creat a fold in media first
[01:00] <Oval_> Hi guys!
[01:00] <darren> moutn /dev/sda1 /media/mystuff
[01:00] <jvai> no go for network manager with orinoco cards :(
[01:00] <kitche> Orfeous: you need to tell kde the application to use for a stream most likely
[01:00] <rlount> afk
[01:01] <bunnyfly> Hello, I have an app that captures the mouse (alt-drag is disabled) but loads at the top of the screen so that the title bar isn't visible. Is there a way to disable windows from extending above the screen's top?
[01:01] <Oval_> I got a scanner that I've successfully hooked up to USB.  I want to program the button on the scanner to work, is there a way that I can read the signal that the scanner sends when the button is pressed and take advantage of that signal with Python?
[01:01] <Oval_> Basically, what I need to know is where the signal appears.
[01:01] <Oval_> In order to read it.
[01:01] <Orfeous> kitche: ah.. ok.. :)
[01:01] <Orfeous> what application for example?
[01:02] <dylanmoore> hello, i was wondering if anyone could assist me with a bcm43xx wireless issue: card is seeing APs but not connecting.  the light even blinks when it tries to connect
[01:02] <kitche> Orfeous: umm vlc or mplayer or totem or xine
[01:02] <dylanmoore> hello, i was wondering if anyone could assist me with a bcm43xx wireless issue: card is seeing APs but not connecting.  the light even blinks when it tries to connect
[01:03] <nomaS> hi, anybody can help with a domain ?
[01:03] <oninoshiko> nomaS: i think cx would be a good choice

[01:04] <Meta4ical> Could anyone help me with a video card/driver issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513607
[01:04] <unagi> sigh
[01:04] <kitche> nomaS: what do you need to know?
[01:04] <darren> dylanmoore try firmware cutter as this resolved the same problem with wireless card
[01:04] <darren> use aptitude fwcutter
[01:04] <unagi> i guess ill just add that to the list of things windows does better than linux =*(
[01:05] <dylanmoore> darren, i am using bcm43xx-fwcutter
[01:05] <dylanmoore> darren, this is the same?
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> hustlebird: yes
[01:05] <darren> yeah i believe so
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: yes
[01:06] <kitche> dylanmoore: yes that is for bcm43 cards
[01:06] <darren> but that is for a airplus card
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: Works like a charm
[01:06] <darren> i had it fix my BCM
[01:06] <darren> card quiet well
[01:07] <SpeakerMania> Hey, in which directory is the system fonts in?
[01:07] <dylanmoore> darren, jack_sparrow, it's saying i have a bcm4303
[01:07] <dylanmoore> and a bcm4301 when i do iwconfig
[01:07] <darren> the other problem you may have is the same one i did which is you need a fresh install to get rid of all the other drivers you may have tried
[01:07] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: 43xx is the same
[01:07] <darren> jack is right
[01:07] <darren> hey jack give us a Yarr
[01:07] <darren> matey
[01:08] <dylanmoore> darren, alright, i have been working on this for almost a week, i suppose i will try reinstall
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: Try it first.. if you need to blacklist something channel can help with that
[01:08] <darren> yeah took me 3 weeks to fix
[01:08] <darren> once i did i was so annoyed it was so easy
[01:08] <Jack_Sparrow> :)
[01:08] <darren> plus what kernal you using
[01:08] <dylanmoore> haha, ok, wish me luck then
[01:08] <SpeakerMania> Hey, in which directory is the system fonts in?
[01:08] <darren> feisty fawn has a lot eaiser wireless gear in it
[01:09] <dylanmoore> darren, im using feisty, i just installed it recently
[01:09] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: You can do it right now
[01:09] <dylanmoore> jack, how do i do that
[01:09] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: Should only take a minute unless you need to boot into ub cuz you are running something else atm  :)
[01:09] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: Are you in ubuntu
[01:10] <jvai> does fiesty have network manager already in it?
[01:10] <dylanmoore> jack, yes i am
[01:10] <dylanmoore> jvai, yes

[01:31] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.
[01:31] <zax1> !?
[01:31] <needhelp> jvai: I can choose between "Local or Detected Printer", Networkprinter, use a detected printer (empty list), or enter a port manually. I cant click the Next-button, it is disabled until I can choose a detected printer. But it doesnt detect anything, therefore I'm stuck at Step1, cant go to step2...
[01:31] <zax1> !xorg

[01:31] <malocite> whats a good ipfilter for ubuntu?  Now that I'm switched over I want to get one installed
[01:31] <dylanmoore> jack_sparrow, i restarted and the card still sees the APs, but does not connect
[01:31] <krammer> How can I stop the video of ubuntu running in every session?
[01:32] <Zambezi> I have two documents 01 and 02. And I want to compare them and kill all the duplicates and get an output file 03. Is that possible?
[01:32] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: have you teird this before..  modprobe bcm43xx
[01:32] <jvai> ok @ needhelp select "forward
[01:32] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: I need to ask.. have you tried either automatix or envy scripts..
[01:32] <dylanmoore> i dont believe so
[01:32] <jvai> then @ needhelp select your printer
[01:32] <needhelp> jvai: Button is disabled. Only Cancel-button is enabled...
[01:33] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: then modprobe the bcm
[01:33] <needhelp> jvai: there is no printer in the list to select from
[01:33] <dylanmoore> jack, hold on let me try to connect
[01:33] <krammer> I can some here throw some advice about getting a pop video of ubuntu
[01:33] <jvai> needhelp, the forward button is greyed out? did u select local printer?
[01:34] <krammer> it pops up without me asking for this video
[01:34] <needhelp> jvai: yes to both questions
[01:34] <dylanmoore> jack, i could not connect after modprobing
[01:34] <jvai> ?????
[01:34] <dylanmoore> jack, i used a script a while back, but it was one from the ubuntuforums, the one by bmartin and darkn00b
[01:34] <Naitsirk> Hallois
[01:34] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: That sequence has always worked.. something else you tried is hanging you up...
[01:35] <needhelp> jvai: the reason is that it is unable to detect the printer
[01:35] <Naitsirk> I installed samba when trying to share a folder from ubuntu 7.04, but when I try to access from my win xp machine i'm asked for login and password.. any tips?
[01:35] <dylanmoore> jack, since i have been trying for a week or so, is it possible that there is something i have done that would have no normally not prevented this from occurring?  would it be beneficial to reinstall fiesty?
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: Any idea what script... and what was it supposed to do..
[01:36] <krammer> Why do I keep geeting the ubuntu clip poping up?
[01:36] <jvai> well it isnt neccesary to detect the printer before loading the drivers @ needhelp , it needs the drivers 1st
[01:36] <jvai> then it will detect the printer
[01:36] <needhelp> jvai, but how can I load the driver without using the Printer Connection-wizard ?
[01:36] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: If you dont have a big investment in your config, I would burn the contents of your var/cache/apt/archives to a cd.. it will save download time later..
[01:36] <jvai> select "use another printer by specifying a port" @ needhelp
[01:37] <jvai> then "forward should be selectable
[01:37] <needhelp> jvai: No, no matter which of the four options I select, Forward-button still disabled
[01:38] <jvai> i dont know how you help u on this  @ needhelp
[01:38] <Jack_Sparrow> dylanmoore: brb.. need to get something for the wife..
[01:38] <jvai> "forward should be selectable
[01:38] <needhelp> k, thanks for trying
[01:38] <dylanmoore> jack, the script i used is based on this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405990 .  i guess what i am trying to ask (and i dont have a lot invested in this computer) is, how much of a chance would you say reinstalling ubuntu would fix the problem?
[01:38] <dylanmoore> jack, ok
[01:40] <krammer> Why do I keep geeting the ubuntu clip poping up?
[01:40] <apeitheo> Is it safe to disable acpi on a laptop?
[01:40] <izzyb> how does one prevent the starting of X windows under upstart?
[01:40] <MikeRotch> wine just updated... wee
[01:41] <jrib> izzyb: same as before, upstart is just using the sysv init scripts currently.  Try system -> administration -> services and disable the "graphical login"
[01:41] <jrib> krammer: what ubuntu clip?
[01:41] <krammer> it is an african guy talking about ubuntu
[01:41] <gluttony> how do i check a rooms population?
[01:41] <lImItaO> how can i known with which /dev/input/event  is associated in the 40.permissions rules?
[01:41] <jrib> gluttony: what client?
[01:41] <regal> hey guys i just got ubuntu working but i cant connect to my wireless network
[01:42] <jrib> krammer: hmm... do you use GNOME?
[01:42] <hustlebird> can anybody help me? have badger breezy or whatever and trying to get the new version.  downloaded it but can't burn the iso
[01:42] <krammer> yes
[01:42] <jrib> !wireless > regal (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:42] <Moniker42> how do i convert kvcd to something i can read on a macbook without installing any extra codecs or software?
[01:42] <Naitsirk> does Sama folder sharing have a default username and password?
[01:42] <gluttony> jrib. x-chat. hah, this isnt the first time youve helped
[01:42] <izzyb> jrib: thanks, but under the old system I'd edit /etc/inittab and change my default runlevel which would be 5 for starting X, not 2 as is the current runlevel.
[01:42] <hustlebird> have 700 mb cds but it always says insert disc with 698mb free
[01:42] <Frogzoo> Naitsirk: no, you need to set a password with smbpasswd
[01:43] <jrib> izzyb: not on ubuntu/debian since runlevels 2-5 are identical by default
[01:43] <hustlebird> also tried the 9mb small version and says the same except 9mb free
[01:43] <izzyb> yeah, seem to recall that also on debian
[01:43] <izzyb> pita :(
[01:43] <Moniker42> how do i convert kvcd to something i can read on a macbook without installing any extra codecs or software?
[01:43] <Frogzoo> hustlebird: sure you're burning the iso as a disk image? not saving the file to cd?
[01:44] <malocite> whats a good ipfilter for ubuntu?  Now that I'm switched over I want to get one installed
[01:44] <jrib> izzyb: why do you want to stop X from starting?  You want to make it a permanent thing?
[01:44] <izzyb> jrib, I don't find administration under system in the menu
[01:44] <hustlebird> right clicked on it and hit write to cd
[01:44] <Dalmatian> Howdy!
[01:45] <izzyb> jrib: I'm trying to get my wifi working under the xen kernel which is involving a lot of switching back and forth between kernels and I want to reduce how long the startup takes while I work this out
[01:45] <jrib> krammer: check system -> preferences -> sessions .  If you can't find anything relevant there, you might want to try deleting ~/.gnome2/session
[01:45] <Dalmatian> Hmmmm
[01:45] <izzyb> jrib: I seem to recall having a similar problem with debian and needing to redefine init 2 to not run x by default
[01:45] <krammer> ok ty
[01:46] <krammer> how would i delete that ? terminal?
[01:46] <Moniker42> how do i convert kvcd to something i can read on a macbook without installing any extra codecs or software?
[01:46] <jrib> izzyb: k, keep in mind default runlevel is 2 and use 'sysv-rc-conf' or read the man page for 'man update-rc.d'
[01:46] <Nooobie> So... I installed Ubuntu Feisty... Used the alternative image... Didn't work regurarly... So I tried installing the server part without the graphic interface... Now I've got scrolling text saying "ata3.00: exception emask 0*0sact 0*0 serr 0*0 action 0*0" with a counter to the left of it... What's going on with that?
[01:46] <Nooobie> Now it says bus error
[01:47] <jrib> krammer: yeah, if you want.  You can do it in the file explorer too if you prefer (just go to view -> show hidden files)
[01:47] <willskills`afk> Nooobie what kind of kardware you trying to run it on?
[01:47] <jrib> izzyb: oh and "gdm" is the init script that starts X on Ubuntu by default
[01:47] <izzyb> jrib: what was that path you sent me earlier?  I didn't find system/administration
[01:47] <Dalmatian> I used a synaptec package manager to download and install BitchX but I couldn't find he client anywhere. Did it actually install it for me or did I need to do some console work?
[01:47] <kitche> Dalmatian: bitchX is a console irc client
[01:48] <Dalmatian> Oh
[01:48] <neo> hi
[01:48] <jrib> izzyb: in your menu, system -> administration -> services  I think this starts 'services-admin'
[01:48] <Dalmatian> Hmmm..do you have any experience with a client called tintin++?
[01:48] <neo> i ask for how can i know that the net cable is unpluged?
[01:49] <drew> whats that cd burning software called, a3c or something
[01:49] <drew> brain fart
[01:49] <h1st0> neo: check for a link light
[01:49] <izzyb> jrib: I find system in the menu, but no administration inside system
[01:49] <rlount> neo: looking is good.
[01:49] <kitche> drew: k3b kde though
[01:49] <drew> kitche: thats it, thx
[01:49] <jrib> izzyb: weird... what version of ubuntu?
[01:49] <neo> wat do u mean by  link light
[01:49] <Jack_Sparrow> k3b works in either
[01:49] <Nooobie> Anyone please??
[01:49] <gluttony> jrib, got an answer?
[01:49] <izzyb> latest kubuntu afaik
[01:49] <h1st0> neo: on the back of the card or hub there should be a link light and activity light
[01:49] <kitche> Jack_Sparrow: correct but need soemt hings from kde like libs and such
[01:49] <Nooobie> willskills`afk: Hello :)
[01:50] <Nooobie> willskills`afk: I'm running it on a laptop
[01:50] <h1st0> neo: the link light would show that the cable is present and activity light will show if data is moving.
[01:50] <Jack_Sparrow> kitche: Install with synaptic and it takes care of everything
[01:50] <jrib> gluttony: hmm don't use xchat but in irssi, you would do '/names'
[01:50] <Nooobie> willskills`afk: Where XP and windows 2003 works perfectly... Alltho it has an ATI graphics card... It feels more like Ubuntu aint supporting my hdd-controllers
[01:50] <kitche> Jack_Sparrow: I was just saying for people that don't want some bloat
[01:50] <databuddy> !paste
[01:50] <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)
[01:50] <rlount> neo: orange means base 10 and green is base 100 or Gig too. If there are no lights and both ends are connected then it could be a bad cable or a bad nic.
[01:50] <neo> but inside ubunto it don't appear
[01:50] <Naitsirk> frogzoo: ok, thanks. write something specific in terminal or where can I find these settings?
[01:51] <Frogzoo> Naitsirk: you need the option "burn as image" or similiar
[01:51] <rlount> neo: the iface does not appear?
[01:51] <rlount> iface = interface
[01:51] <willskills`afk> Nooobie yeah I dont know much, but that does sound strange
[01:51] <neo> ok thx
[01:51] <neo> :)
[01:51] <willskills`afk> and something like that :)
[01:51] <Naitsirk> frogzoo: think you are mixing me with someone. I was talking about samba username and password ;)
[01:51] <Nooobie> willskills`afk: It does... Doesn't it?
[01:52] <neo> but i search for program like angry ip scanner
[01:52] <Nooobie> willskills`afk: Where do you turn to to get support for Ubuntu?
[01:52] <willskills`afk> the forums :)
[01:52] <willskills`afk> usually
[01:52] <hustlebird> i have a lg cd-rw ced-8080b cd drive and can only burn mp3s.  it won't let me burn any iso or data files, anyone know why?
[01:52] <willskills`afk> i just dile here
[01:52] <willskills`afk> idle*
[01:52] <Nooobie> willskills`afk: They require registration?
[01:52] <rlount> neo: wha... ? search for an app?
[01:52] <ari_stress> good morning all
[01:53] <neo> it scan network and define who is online and how is offline
[01:53] <jrib> izzyb: ah, don't know what kubuntu uses.  Just use install sysv-rc-conf and disable kdm from starting then
[01:53] <rlount> neo: ah.
[01:53] <rlount> you try cheops?
[01:53] <willskills`afk> Nooobie to post yes
[01:53] <rlount> it's cheesy but it might be enough to help you.
[01:53] <Frogzoo> Naitsirk: man smbpasswd
[01:53] <willskills`afk> but it's well worth it to b honest
[01:53] <neo> wat?
[01:53] <dutch_> hey there
[01:53] <rlount> cheops
[01:53] <willskills`afk> very active forum community
[01:54] <rlount> it's a scanning app. uses icmp.
[01:54] <dutch_> could anyone tell me how to use sun java instead of gij?
[01:54] <lImItaO> how can i known with which /dev/input/event  is associated in the 40.permissions rules?
[01:54] <jvai> debian's autoscan
[01:54] <izzyb> jrib, where is sys-rc-conf?
[01:54] <Dalmatian> Hmmm this client is very different from what I'm used to...is there a way I can arrange it to display all users in a room?

[01:54] <willskills`afk> Dalmatian what client are you using?
[01:54] <aesebu55> can someone please tell me how to get my clock to read 12h instead of 24h?

[01:55] <Nooobie> I've got a working server-install... Why can't I install the desktop?
[01:55] <neo> sorry wat the name of app?
[01:55] <Dalmatian> I come from windows and using mirc

[01:56] <yosyp> hey guys i'm getting this error when botting
[01:56] <yosyp> booting*, and x11 doesn't start:
[01:56] <shroom> Anyone know about the Ubuntu Partnership Programme? Specifically, I'm looking for info about the cost of the program, which seems to be missing from the Ubuntu site.
[01:56] <radioaktivstorm> hello, can someone explain why ip 192.168.1.1 is hitting me with snmp-trap and samba over udp?
[01:56] <yosyp> X: unable to open wrapper config file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.confin
[01:56] <dutch_> jrib: AH thank you so much. its very appreciated
[01:58] <izzyb> jrib: thanks, now how do I change runlevels?
[01:58] <Iceshadow> i have ubuntu 7.04 dual booted with WinXP on a Dell Inspiron E1705. All is set up well on the linux side, but I also use VMWare 6 Workstation, and would like the ability to boot it from it's own partition. It boots fine, however, X refuses to start due to it looking for the Nvidia driver, and not the VMWare video driver. Any ideas on how to make this work?
[01:58] <therethinker> have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[01:58] <MikeRotch> i dunno radioaktivstorm, but if you are worried you coudl change your routers mac addresss, liek thelast two digits. and then reset your modem then your ISP shoudl give new IP =P
[01:59] <jrib> izzyb: well you shouldn't need to if you disable kdm from starting on runlevel 2.  upstart uses /etc/event.d/rc-default to set the default runlevel afaik though
[02:00] <Nooobie> I've got a working server-install... Why can't I install the desktop? Getting an error that say "bus error"

[02:01] <deathblooms> Still cant get my window boarder to work
[02:01] <lashmoov3> what is optimum resolution for 24" wide LCD display ?

[02:10] <Nooobie> therethinker: Lemme try
[02:10] <ShackJack> macd: Yeah, I was just thinkin' that ;)
[02:11] <bendover> Noobie: try installing gnome-base or gnome-desktop, or kde-desktop if you like that

[02:11] <macd> though I think you could use iptables to kill anything going out to the blacklisted addresses, which would have ot be added manually imho
[02:11] <Nooobie> bendover: bus error
[02:11] <drago1> i got a belkin 5 button mouse. i like my mouse. an in windows (in opera). when I click one of the two buttons, it would either go forward or back to my previous page...   got edubuntu and installed opera.  but does not do it like when I had winxp...  any suggestions (never installed nothing on xp to accomplish this either)
[02:11] <macd> malocite, not really any sort of program todo that, no
[02:12] <Nooobie> Do I have to put some kind of weird flag on the ext3 partition for it to be read/writeable??
[02:12] <ShackJack> lashmoov3: wallpaper from usual sources but you can check out gnome-look.org for gdm logins, etc...

[02:12] <bendover> noobie: try mounting them
[02:12] <drago1> also...   another side note....  since my win hard drive crashed and I went over to ubuntu...  I want to import my old mail messages and contact list from my thunderbird (is this possible and how hard would it be) to just copy the files from the win hard drive or what?
[02:12] <Nooobie> bendover: mount sda3 ?

[02:14] <NigelS> Cpudan80: you know where we can get our refunds?
[02:14] <bolingo> hlst0 sorry for taking too long to reply, but, I managed to do everything, dual booting and everything else with Ubuntu 7.04 and WinXP, but when I do it with Vista Home Premium and ubuntu 7.04, I have no sound, no wifi, no desktop effects, and loads of more problems
[02:14] <macd> Cpudan80, I think weve got that covered.
[02:14] <jmchaffie> Hey all.. dire need of video help here. I've tried forums and here a few days ago and no help... please... :) Video card works great for one boot, then I have to revert to original vesa driver. Is there a module or anything I can try to reload on the next boot? (nVidia 7600 GT)

[02:15] <hvgotcodes> is a 128 bit passphrase the word i used to generate the key?
[02:15] <Cpudan80> macd: So I was just going to pass along the info
[02:15] <hvgotcodes> or is it the generated key?

[02:15] <tck> how does linux-generic make linux-686 obselete?
[02:15] <Nooobie> bendover: Could it be wrongly flagged somehow? Or wrong permissions?
[02:16] <tck> by default is linux-generic 686 optimized?
[02:16] <PriceChild> tck, linux-generic loads optimisations for 686, k7, smp etc. on boot.. seperate kernels aren't needed.
[02:16] <JuJuBee> I've got another networking question.  I move around alot between 2 jobs, home and my mother-in-law's and all have different network settings (wifi). How can I create different profiles so I can switch easily?
[02:16] <Nooobie> bendover: Because I can browse it correctly, I just don't seem to be able to write anything to the disk?
[02:16] <tck> PriceChild, so with 386 in mind, linux-generic will still run very well ?
[02:16] <JuJuBee> Using kubuntu, the profiles do not seem to be working properly under the System Settings->Networking
[02:17] <ShackJack> JuJuBee: Better to ask in #kubuntu
[02:17] <PriceChild> tck, there is a linux-386 kernel for those who have old machines with compatability issues with -generic

[02:17] <unagi> yes bolingo
[02:18] <therethinker> bolingo: My friend can dual boot some version of Vista and Ubuntu
[02:18] <jrib> Macr0ss: what are you trying to accomplish?
[02:18] <jmchaffie> bolingo... I have Ubuntu feisty and Vistu Ultimate dual booting fine.
[02:18] <unagi> im dualbooting home premium and ubuntu
[02:18] <jmchaffie> *Vista
[02:18] <therethinker> bolingo: The second operating system won't effect the other
[02:18] <ShackJack> jmchaffie: Are you doing dual monitors or anything fancy?   What do you have driver listed as in xorg.conf?
[02:19] <unagi> do you have a question bolingo
[02:19] <therethinker> Has anyone had trouble with a Broadcom 4306
[02:19] <therethinker> (wireless)
[02:19] <jmchaffie> ShackJack: Nothing special - Driver "nvidia" - (card - 7600 GT) - restricted drivers work once - work great in fact - then reboot and gui is dead (although you can login blind and hear sound)
[02:19] <GreenDragon> how would one import mail and contact info for Thunderbird from an old windows hard drive?
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> therethinker: fwcutter seems to work quite well on those
[02:19] <ShackJack> !wireless | therethinker (good troubleshooting there)
[02:19] <ubotu> therethinker (good troubleshooting there): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:20] <ShackJack> jmchaffie: so on subsequent boots it just boots to black screen (upon going into gdm)?

[02:20] <therethinker> Jack_Sparrow:thanks
[02:20] <therethinker> ShackJack:Found it
[02:21] <jmchaffie> ShackJack: Exactly, and once in a while, if I revert to a vesa driver, then reinstall the restricted drivers... it will work again, until I reboot. It's like nothing I've ever come accross...
[02:21] <ShackJack> Jack_Sparrow: what's fwcutter?
[02:21] <Jack_Sparrow> ShackJack: tool for installing drivers for bcm43xx wireless cards
[02:21] <unagi> oops
[02:21] <bolingo> unagi therethinker jmchaffie the problem is, I had no problem installing and setting up Ubuntu 7.04 to dual boot with WinXP Pro SP2, but when I try to do Ubuntu 7.04 with Vista Home Premium, the sound doesnt work, I can't enable the effects, I have no wireless connectivity (with none of the WIFI Managers on the net)
[02:21] <unagi> closed the wrong window
[02:22] <rockets> Wow kernel compiles are looooong
[02:22] <ShackJack> jmchaffie: I can tell you I've had similar issue with my LCD where it didn't like the refresh rate/resolution being passed by the card... I solved it by "forcing" the refresh rates in xorg.conf specified in monitor manual...
[02:22] <therethinker> Jack_sparrow: is bcm43xx-fwcutter in multiverse, my friend said it wasn't found
[02:22] <jmchaffie> bolingo: do you mean everything still works in Ubuntu, but not vista? If so, then it's probably just compatibility issues with vista.. welcome to vista ;)

[02:23] <ubotu> therethinker: bcm43xx-fwcutter: Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:006-1 (feisty), package size 24 kB, installed size 116 kB
[02:23] <unagi> in the defense of vista, its not vistas fault that there arent drivers for these devices.......its the manufacture's  of the divices fault
[02:23] <jmchaffie> ShackJack: Ok, I will try to find resolutions... I figured that might be the case, but I can't find out... it SHOULD be around 75 Hz
[02:23] <therethinker> Sorry everyone
[02:24] <ShackJack> jmchaffie: You're familiar with xorg, I trust?
[02:24] <unagi> microsoft shouldnt be responsible for writing drivers except for their own products
[02:24] <unagi> but windows still blows......although it does things linux doesnt
[02:24] <ShackJack> unagi: and vice versa :P
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> therethinker: universe
[02:24] <bolingo> jmchaffie Vista works perfectly fine, I can also use ubuntu, but, I can only get online with a wired connection, and I have no sound, I can't use ndiswrapper.
[02:24] <unagi> i agree
[02:24] <jmchaffie> ShackJack: Yes, quite a bit, but the sync area to be honest... I've never had to deal with both horizontal AND vertical before, so I'm not sure what values to enter in there...
[02:24] <ShackJack> Jack_Sparrow: way ahead of ya :)
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> ya..
[02:25] <tck> anyone get ubuntu/fs/dazuko errors when compiling their kernel ?
[02:25] <unagi> bolingo, im telling you that it has nothing to do with dual booting
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> goodnight all...play nice... argh...
[02:25] <ShackJack> jmchaffie: monitor docs should give you refresh rates for given resolutions... TO "force" I put VertRefresh (or whatever) 80.0-80.0 etc...
[02:25] <bolingo> unagi but the problem is, that, I have another laptop, which has WinXP pre installed, and I've installed ubuntu 7.04 and is dual booting and doing everything fine
[02:26] <unagi> bolingo is that laptop the EXACT configuration as the problem laptop
[02:26] <bolingo> unagi the funny thing is, that, the laptop that is giving me problems is a packard bell that came pre-installed with vista
[02:26] <jmchaffie> ShackJack: Ok, I will try forcing it with set values from the same rate-to-rate and see what I get. Appreciate the pointer, wasn't sure if I should go to the route or not.. Much appreciated. :)
[02:26] <unagi> packard bell?
[02:26] <unagi> with vista?
[02:26] <unagi> lmao
[02:27] <ShackJack> jmchaffie: Make backup of xorg ;)
[02:27] <unagi> where did you buy this packard bell with vista on it
[02:27] <jmchaffie> ShackJack: Always ;)
[02:27] <unagi> packard bell went out of business long ago....before xp was even dreamed of
[02:27] <bolingo> unagi the problematic one came pre-installed with vista home premium, and the good one, is a toshiba, came with WinXP Pro pre-installed
[02:27] <ShackJack> jmchaffie: Don't be afraid to reinstall driver too - sometimes it gets borked :)
[02:28] <unagi> ok cool so we have now established that they are 2 different models
[02:28] <jmchaffie> bolingo: well, you have to consider the fact that not ALL hardware will work w/ ndiswrapper, however are you saying it all worked great w/ WinXP and now sound and wireless (all the same hardware) is having problems in vista AND ubuntu?
[02:28] <unagi> are you sure its a packard bell?
[02:28] <bolingo> unagi nah...the problem is not the computer I guess, because the computer with Vista works incredibly fine, and trust me, I dont like vista, but I gotta admit it :o
[02:28] <unagi> is it vista or ubuntu that you are having problems with
[02:28] <unagi> is anyone else here lost or is it just me
[02:28] <jmchaffie> ShackJack: Yeah, been there and done that several times to be sure... will give it a go after refresh rates though if still a problem.
[02:28] <bolingo> unagi the problem is vista
[02:29] <unagi> are you sure its a packard bell
[02:29] <ShackJack> unagi: I'm lost but bolingo is not using strong logic...
[02:29] <travis> how do i get this wireless device working... Network controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. Unknown device 0023 (rev 01)

[02:29] <ubotu> travis: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

[02:29] <macd> he prolly meant HP.
[02:29] <StarScream> hey guys, running one of the daily builds for gutsy ppc. I'm a getting a  /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off error on boot. Is this common and is there  a known work around ?
[02:29] <ShackJack> travis: Good troubleshooting docs there and hardware specific stuff...
[02:29] <neuratix> how can i monitor whats being written to my disk? what files are being changed and what process is doing it
[02:29] <bolingo> jmchaffie unagi u know what the funny thing is, I tried exactly the same configuration with WinXP in the Packard, and I managed to get everything working with dual boot WinXP Pro and Vista Home Premium
[02:30] <ShackJack> StarScream: you want #ubuntu+1 channel...
[02:30] <StarScream> ok thanks
[02:30] <therethinker> whonicca: You're welcome! Glad I can help, I've been though that more than once, and I'm about to do it once I fix this guys net connection
[02:30] <unagi> bolingo: you just dont seem to be listening
[02:30] <unagi> so im going to stop talking
[02:30] <macd> bolingo, do you actually have a problem with something not working in ubuntu?  IF SO then just state the problem, and leave the windows and dual boot talk at the door, none of that has any weight in resolving your issue
[02:31] <unagi> i dont mind helping with a dual boot problem macd its just he doesnt seem to understand that a. packard bell does not come with vista installed natively and b. that not every laptop is the same
[02:31] <jmchaffie> bolingo, well the info you are giving sounds a bit conflicted, but it sounds to me like you have a machine that has built in / proprietary hardware that works and is built for windows, and most of it went in spot on w/ ubuntu with some hiccups on sound and wireless. Best thing to do is try to identify chipsets, see if you can find linux drivers, and if not, then that's just the way it is. Been there and done that my friend. ;)
[02:31] <macd> I wouldnt even worry about the brand, who cares what it is, he prolly means HP, why dwell on something so trivial.
[02:32] <unagi> because if it is in fact a packard bell.....it shouldnt have vista on it in the first place....and it explains why nothing works
[02:32] <unagi> its not trivial
[02:32] <unagi> have a good day
[02:32] <bolingo> ShackJack what I'm saying is very simple in the same computer, I can have dual boot with WinXP Pro and Ubuntu 7.04 with no problems in none of the OS's, but when I try dual booting Vista with Ubuntu 7.04, I got problems in Ubuntu such as no sound, no wireless, etc..what's not to understand? :s
[02:32] <Naitse> hi
[02:32] <Naitse> the is a way to share the ionternet connection?
[02:32] <unagi> theres alot to not understand bolingo
[02:32] <jmchaffie> I'm outta here, and thanks again SJ for the input. cya all!
[02:33] <yoie> hey guys i just installed moblock and was wondering if the default list good enough?
[02:33] <neo> where can i find cheops after setup?
[02:33] <unagi> im not sure how to fix the problem all i am saying is what you are dual booting ubuntu with doesnt affect what works and what doesnt
[02:33] <macd> bolingo, so could you please pastebin the output of 'lspci' 'iwconfig' 'ifconfig' to pastebin.
[02:33] <needle> hi guys
[02:34] <ShackJack> bolingo: That is not what it sounded like you were saying. At any rate - good troubleshooting docs at help.ubuntu.com - lookup sound and wireless
[02:34] <neuratix> how can i monitor whats being written to my disk? what files are being changed and what process is doing it
[02:34] <needle> friend recently set up suse but has forgotten root password wot can be done?
[02:34] <ShackJack> !offtopic | needle
[02:34] <ubotu> needle: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:34] <unagi> sigh, i totally thought i was going to move my ram in my alienware to my hp but theyre not the same clock speed
[02:35] <macd> needle, remember it, root it locally, reinstall it.
[02:35] <needle> sorry
[02:35] <unagi> lol @ root password
[02:35] <unagi> !root
[02:35] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:35] <unagi> lmao
[02:35] <jvai> http://autoscan.fr/  <-- is better for network than cheops
[02:35] <unagi> i love ubotu...so sarvastic
[02:35] <therethinker> Wow XD
[02:35] <macd> IndyGunFreak, its our killer community.
[02:35] <unagi> ok im outta here im going to see if i cant get upgraded to first class
[02:35] <needle> i use ubuntu
[02:35] <unagi> have a great day
[02:35] <ShackJack> unagi... check out ubotu !enter and !offtopic...
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> macd: lol, but to hear everyone else talk, we're idiots for using ubuntu
[02:35] <bolingo> unagi lol...I think i was very clear when I said that I can make ubuntu 7.04 dual boot with WinXp Pro and not with Vista Home Premium and I'm just asking if anyone has sucessfuly made it. if u want to stop talking, fine, feel free, but thanks for the effort anywayz
[02:36] <unagi> dont stop talkign bolingo im just giving input.....im dual booting just fine.....one does not affect the other
[02:36] <macd> IndyGunFreak, typical linux fanboys ;), but we should be in offtopic if we wanna make fun of ourselves some more
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> bolingo: i helped someone dual boot vista and ubuntu 7.04 over th eweekend, to say it was problematic, would be a major understatement.
[02:37] <bolingo> ShackJack I'll try that, thanks
[02:37] <KatteKrab> jono - ping!
[02:37] <therethinker> Is there a way to install the ATI drivers using apt-get?
[02:37] <IndyGunFreak> macd: lol, true
[02:37] <yoie> so nobody can answer my question?? come on please?
[02:37] <ShackJack> therethinker: Yep... fglrx-driver - but you have to change xorg too...
[02:37] <jvai> no1 knows of autoscan for networking? *shocked*
[02:37] <jvai> http://autoscan.fr/
[02:37] <therethinker> ShackJack:I can do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, right?
[02:37] <macd> yoie, I wouldnt rely on anythings defualt blocklist for security.
[02:38] <ShackJack> yoie: I think your initial question was a little vague...
[02:38] <JuJuBee> anybody here use laptop-netconf?
[02:38] <neo> where can i find cheops after setup?
[02:38] <therethinker> neo:cheops?
[02:39] <jvai> .......
[02:39] <countzero> does anyone know how to get feisty to recognize and mount a mybook external disk?
[02:39] <srbaker> heya folks
[02:39] <RyukZilla> unagi
[02:39] <RyukZilla> >< can u help me out =)?
[02:39] <neo> yes
[02:39] <bolingo> unagi try to understand, that, I didnt say that I'm a complete noob, to the point not to be able to make a sucessfull dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu, I've made that, like 50 times already, what I'm saying is that I made de dual boot for Vista Home Premium/Ubuntu, with the same configurations as WinXP/Ubuntu, and ubuntu didnt work fine.do u still dont understand?
[02:39] <doms> new anjuta 2.2*   was a big different from previous version   and its very difficult to understand...  even simple hellow world  its hard for me to compile
[02:39] <macd> yoie I think I read something on torrentfreak about a place tracking updated lists.
[02:39] <srbaker> under my imap account, there's a Trash and Junk folder that appear to be local
[02:39] <therethinker> countzero:Do you know what it is /dev/???
[02:39] <neo> its app
[02:39] <srbaker> is it possible to tell evolution "use this as my Trash folder" and specify a folder on the imap server?
[02:39] <countzero> therethinker, sorry, no
[02:39] <yoie> thank you.... :) the thing is i am http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192559 but i just dont comprehend the part where it talk about how to change the ranges
[02:39] <RyukZilla> can someone help me out please >_________<?
[02:40] <bolingo> IndiGunFreak what version of Vista was it?
[02:40] <ShackJack> bolingo: I think he understands - his point being what you are dual booting should not affect the performance of ubuntu - which sounds valid.
[02:40] <NigelS> countzero: the mybook is an external usb drive isn't it? It should be auto-detected upon being plugged in - which version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:40] <RyukZilla> Once I Download the ISO File and Burn it, will the installtion on the server, begin automatically!=
[02:40] <Naitsirk> I have two new 500 GB SATA disks I want to put up in software raid-1 (mdadm?) in my ubunuty 7.04 desktop edition. How should I go about doing this? (have already ubuntu installed on a separate IDE-disk..). I presume both disks should be partitioned to Ext3 first and then somehow use mdadm to set up the raid-1, but being very new to linux I have no idea how to do this.. any good pointers?
[02:40] <countzero> therethinker, ubuntu feisty fawn.One mybook is autodetected, the other isn't.
[02:41] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: You have to boot from Cd...
[02:41] <RyukZilla> ya but the server got no OS
[02:41] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Yah, but you can restart the server and boot from CD, I imagine...
[02:41] <RyukZilla> so in order to install it, after the ubuntu its burnt in the cd, will the install begin =P?
[02:41] <countzero> therethinker , ubuntu feisty fawn.One mybook is autodetected, the other isn't.
[02:42] <macd> yoie, the ranges work like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[02:42] <RyukZilla> ya thats what I was asking =D so, i just mount the iso on the cd and thats it n_n?
[02:42] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Boot server from CD... and the install will begin...
[02:42] <bolingo> ShackJack humn, oki doki!is just that its annoying that, i've made it perfectly fine with winXP/Ubuntu, no no probs, in 2 different computers, but with Vista it doesnt work. I think I'll try a complete single installation of Ubuntu 7.04 in the problematic laptop
[02:42] <macd> yoie, so if you wanted to block 4.1.1.1 through 4.4.4.4 youd do 4.1.1.1-4.4.4.4
[02:42] <doms> new anjuta 2.2*   was a big different from previous version   and its very difficult to understand...  even simple hellow world  its hard for me to compile
[02:42] <jvai> ok pppls enjoi the eve
[02:42] <jvai> i'm ghost
[02:42] <yoie> i think im confused at this part "Open /etc/cron.daily/moblock-nfq and go to line 34. One line is commented (#), one is not. inverse them like this"
[02:42] <RyukZilla> thanks jack
[02:42] <macd> doms, do you have a question or are you mkaing a statement
[02:42] <chemturion> hi there I'm really interested in swtiching to Ubuntu from Vista, and i was wondering if there was a good itunes equiv
[02:43] <ShackJack> bolingo: That is weird though I can't see how one OS install could affect the other, unless Vista changed something in the BIOS or firmware :) Vista doesn't play nice sometimes :)
[02:43] <therethinker> countzero: That's od
[02:43] <countzero> therethinker  could it perhaps be hardware faults?
[02:43] <CorpseCheese> When you download a program and are trying to install it but it cannot be found using the synaptic package manager or the terminal, what do you do?
[02:43] <therethinker> chemturion: You can use Amazon
[02:43] <therethinker> chemturion:Since, that's 100% web based
[02:43] <macd> yoie, remove the # and add it to the line that doesnt have the # )(# = comment this line out)
[02:43] <therethinker> chemturion: There are various music players, but I don't listen to music, so I wouldn't know the best one
[02:44] <chemturion> therethinker: thanks
[02:44] <ShackJack> chemturion: I like Exaile (SVN)
[02:44] <macd> chemturion, rhytmbox and amarok are pretty slick.
[02:44] <chemturion> yeah i was looking at amarok
[02:44] <chemturion> but thats kde? and i was alittle confused
[02:44] <countzero> therethinker  the system doesn't recognize my mp3 portable player either.
[02:44] <CorpseCheese> When you download a program and are trying to install it but it cannot be found using the synaptic package manager or the terminal, what do you do?
[02:44] <macd> chemturion, you can run kde apps on ubuntu (gnome)
[02:44] <jrib> CorpseCheese: what program?
[02:44] <therethinker> countzero:That's very odd...
[02:45] <ShackJack> chemturion: Yeah amarok has to load KDE libraires and stuff so it takes  alittle longet to load and not as well integrated.... Exaile is a good GNOME native player..
[02:45] <yoie> okay so right now this is what it looks like "BLOCKLISTS="ads-trackers-and-bad-pr0n bogon dshield hijacked level1 level2 Microsoft spider spyware templist"
[02:45] <yoie> BLOCKLISTTXT=""
[02:45] <therethinker> countzero:I don't think I can help. I'm not that great at linux yet :P
[02:45] <CorpseCheese> jrib: Cinelerra 2.1
[02:45] <chemturion> shackjack: thanks
[02:45] <bolingo> ShackJack yeah, maybe that's the problem, I must confess that I dont like vista, its just a big crap.lol no offence to microsoft, maybe I'll send it to the bin.lol
[02:45] <doms> macd: sori
[02:45] <yoie> so do i insert the # on the first line or the second one?
[02:45] <countzero> therethinker  that's okay.Thank you for your time:)
[02:45] <macd> yoie, is this a new question? I dont see anything commented out
[02:45] <jrib> !cinelerra > CorpseCheese (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:46] <macd> ohhh, Id insert it on the second.
[02:46] <therethinker> countzero: You're welcome, sorry I can't help you
[02:46] <macd>  #BLOCKLIST=""
[02:46] <countzero> are there anyone here that knows how I can get my system to recognize and mount my external usb disk and portable mp3 player?
[02:46] <chemturion> also another problem i'm having, is that my cdrom drive wont open
[02:47] <doms> what is the best channel for c programming
[02:47] <catunda> I would like to update kernel in cd installer. Does anyone know a good tutorial?
[02:47] <yoie> okay cool and do i add other lists i want to block in the ""?
[02:47] <jrib> CorpseCheese: are you familiar with how to add the repositories listed on that site?
[02:47] <jrib> doms: ##c
[02:47] <Macr0ss> Chemturion did you unmount your cdrom first?
[02:47] <macd> chemturion, with the button or right clicking in nautilus?
[02:47] <therethinker> chemturion: have you tried unmounting
[02:47] <CorpseCheese> jrib: I am unfamiliar with everything.
[02:47] <chemturion> therethinker: there is nothing in the drive
[02:47] <macd> chemturion, you can unlock your cdrom drives front button, since its locked by default, then the button overwrites everything
[02:47] <therethinker> *sorry for being broken record*
[02:48] <thinlace> does anyone know how to get XGL working with ATI commercial drivers?
[02:48] <jrib> !repos > CorpseCheese (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:48] <jrib> CorpseCheese: let me know if anything isn't clear there
[02:48] <macd> yoie, thats correct
[02:48] <thinlace> i have it installed but whenever i start an xgl session the screen doesn't repaint, its static, and it paints differently each login
[02:48] <ShackJack> countzero: Not specifically but theres a guide to automounting here... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions?
[02:48] <countzero> thank you
[02:48] <chemturion> macd: how would I do that? also i don't know if you saw my message there is nothing for me to unmount in the drive
[02:48] <macd> chemturion, sudo sysctl dev.cdrom.lock=0
[02:48] <yoie> macd thanks so much for your help..... :)
[02:48] <chemturion> thanks

[02:49] <chemturion> macd: thanks alot
[02:49] <isaac_> how do you set up accounts on samba?
[02:49] <macd> chemturion, then to make it stay after you reboot: sudo sh -c 'echo "dev.cdrom.lock=0" >> /etc/sysctl.conf'
[02:49] <CorpseCheese> jrib: Thanks. How do I know if I have universe, multiuniverse, and the restricted repositories enabled?
[02:49] <noldon> why do i get this error message http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/31981/
[02:49] <ShackJack> CorpseCheese: Admin -> Software Sources
[02:50] <macd> luckily we all know what fsck error that is without being able to translate

[02:50] <therethinker> NemisisD:
[02:51] <therethinker> NemisisD: add the -x flag
[02:51] <macd> chemturion, well thats real weird, Id check the power coupling on it, and its interface cable.
[02:51] <Naitsirk> "This is *NOT* for people with new, blank hdds. For you it is much easier IMHO to set them up using linux software raid, i believe that there is a howto on this forum already for that."

[02:51] <chemturion> macd: it was working under vista this morning
[02:51] <CorpseCheese> I don't even know if I am using Ubuntu Feisty, Ubuntu Edgy, or Ubuntu Edgy amd64. How do I find out?
[02:51] <noldon> macd ive done that get the same error
[02:51] <macd> chemturion, hmmm, does the device showup in 'lspci' ?
[02:51] <countzero> it didn't work. The light on the disk is on, but it didn't help to automount it.
[02:52] <ShackJack> CorpseCheese: Check out Admin->System Monitor
[02:52] <penguinistakc> NOldon -- are any partitions mounted on /dev/sda?
[02:52] <noldon> no
[02:52] <chemturion> macd: i dont see it when i run lspci
[02:52] <NemesisD> therethinker, thank you!
[02:53] <noldon> penguinistakc no
[02:53] <therethinker> NemiesisD: You're welcome, glad to help
[02:53] <macd> chemturion, well that pretty much explains why it wont eject ;), is it a sata or ide cdrom, and does lspci show the ide/sata controller that it uses?
[02:53] <countzero> i'm not gonna give in and reinstall windows again, for sure.But I'd sure like everything to just work.
[02:53] <CorpseCheese> ShackJack: What about CPU type?
[02:54] <ShackJack> CorpseCheese: cat /proc/cpuinfo ;)
[02:54] <noldon> penguinistakc should it be?
[02:54] <chemturion> macd: it shows the controller
[02:54] <countzero> can anyone help me make the system recognize my external harddisk?
[02:54] <chemturion> macd: hahah wait wait wiat, i figured it out, I thought there wasnt a cd rom in it, but there is, stupid error on my part
[02:54] <Ahadiel> Could anyone recommend any software for recording lectures? (Audio/Video)
[02:54] <countzero> the irony of my nick doesn't escape me:)
[02:54] <penguinistakc> nodon -- It should not be when you run fsck, but since I can't read Deutsch, I was unable to translate and wanted to make sure
[02:55] <linxeh> Ahadiel: audacity ?
[02:55] <chemturion> macd: thanks for your patience
[02:55] <macd> chemturion, nice move ;)
[02:55] <linxeh> oh video too
[02:55] <linxeh> :o
[02:55] <penguinistakc> Noldon -- what happened when you ran enfsck -b ?
[02:55] <Ahadiel> linxeh, Yeah, therein lies my problem
[02:55] <ianm_> just talked to a university prof who was visited by dell and he says "dell loves ubuntu" and said they talked about all sorts of projects they were going to do.  just thought I'd share
[02:55] <penguinistakc> That should have replaced the bad superblock with the backup
[02:55] <macd> Ahadiel, they have several webcam utils that can record from any video input.
[02:55] <harrism> how do i stop the network manager from connecting to random networks?
[02:56] <linxeh> LiVES maybe ?
[02:56] <noldon> enfsck -b?
[02:56] <noldon> on the device
[02:56] <Ahadiel> macd, Such as?
[02:56] <linxeh> or kino ?
[02:56] <ianm_> seems dell is happy with the sales and loves working with ubuntu, the configurability especially
[02:56] <therethinker> harrism: Set it up Manually
[02:56] <macd> Ahadiel, 'apt-cache search webcam'
[02:56] <Dragnslcr> Anyone here worked with kvm? When I try to start a virtual machine, it hangs at "Loading..." and uses 100% of one of my CPU cores
[02:56] <Ahadiel> k
[02:56] <ShackJack> ianm_: Too bad I can't get suspend/hibernate working on their computers :P
[02:57] <noldon> penguinistakc u mean e2fsck
[02:57] <NemesisD> therethinker, is ssh supposed to do something like ask me for a password? it's just sitting there
[02:57] <harrism> therethinker: thats the only wya?
[02:57] <ianm_> ShackJack: you mean a new one (ubuntu supported) or old?
[02:57] <penguinistakc> Yes, sorry...can't type tonight
[02:57] <ShackJack> ianm_: Both old and unbuntu preinstalled ones...
[02:57] <therethinker> NemesisD: Make sure that the computer is on :P I've had that problem.
[02:57] <ianm_> ShackJack: suspend doesn't work on one purchased from dell.com/ubuntu ??
[02:58] <therethinker> harrism: I'm 70% sure it is
[02:58] <chemturion> macd: thanks again, ttyl
[02:58] <NigelS> ShackJack: hibernate/suspend are really hit and miss atm :( esp if nvidia/ati closed drivers are invovled. It's not easy to initialise closed graphics hw
[02:58] <NemesisD> therethinker, i have it on good authority that the computer is on and set up for port forwarding
[02:58] <ShackJack> ianm_: Nope... Doesn't wake up correctly... they're looking into it supposedly...  nvidia driver but I fell back to nv driver with same result..
[02:58] <macd> not to mention the massive debate on suspend to what. ;)
[02:58] <cortana> hello, I'm looking at putting together a system using one of intel's chipsets... i'm wondering whether i should go for something based on the newer G33 chipset or the older i965. i want to use the onboard video so basically I need to know whether Fiesty contains drivers for one or both of those chipsets
[02:59] <CorpseCheese> ShackJack: For the software I am trying to download, the types listed are i686, athlonxp, and pentium4. If mine is Celeron does that mean that the software can not be installed?
[02:59] <ShackJack> NigelS: Oh yeah, I hear ya - I just figured that Dell might've sorted that issue before shipping out :)
[02:59] <NemesisD> i can't seem to ping the computer though..
[02:59] <therethinker> NemesisD: hmm... is sshd running?
[02:59] <macd> cortana, intel provides drivers for linux for both.
[02:59] <harrism> goddammit i just cant get this thing to connect my wireless router
[02:59] <NemesisD> therethinker, sshd?
[02:59] <cortana> yeah, but are they in fiesty :)
[02:59] <ianm_> ShackJack: yeah that's lame... I assumed they more or less worked out of the box
[02:59] <ShackJack> CorpseCheese: Celeron is i686 :)
[02:59] <therethinker> NemesisD: The ssh server
[02:59] <macd> cortana, even if they arent intel provides them.
[02:59] <NigelS> ShackJack: that's the problem, unless we can get ati/nvidia to share their specs no one can solve it without a lot of work reverse engineering them
[02:59] <CorpseCheese> ShackJack: I see, thank you.
[03:00] <NemesisD> therethinker, i told them to do sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start, is that the correct way, and does the fact that I can't ping the machine indicate there may be another problem?
[03:00] <ShackJack> NigelS: ianm_: Ah well, saw story today they're pushing for Linux driver development so we'll see ;)
[03:00] <penguinistakc> Noldon, try the following, just to make sure you are copying over the correct superblock.
[03:00] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: if the server its clean and new, which will be the best option? CD or DVD? of course, to install the OS from.
[03:00] <NigelS> ShackJack: yeah, fingers crossed; they just need to open up! We'd do the work for them
[03:00] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: CD is fine... you can get other stuff you need from net
[03:00] <therethinker> NemesisD: hmm.. if you can't ping it that's probably a bad sign -- then again, did you ping on port 22?
[03:00] <macd> cortana, according to launchpad g33 is supported by the package xserver-xorg-video-intel
[03:01] <ianm_> ShackJack: yeah... so I think we're probably the last generation to have to deal with this stuff.  god we're amazing
[03:01] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: So in order to install, just press f7 and boot from CD rom?
[03:01] <penguinistakc> Noldon First you need to make sure /dev/sda is unmounted. If that is the partition where linux is installed, you'll need to boot into a live CD.
[03:01] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Yep :)
[03:01] <NemesisD> therethinker, how do you do do that with network tools, theres no port field
[03:01] <Jobias> can anyone help me with a partitioning question?
[03:01] <macd> cortana, for more info and howto get the latest support for g33 in feisty: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/xorg/+bug/121443
[03:01] <harrism> when i open my access point it says that signal strength is 0%
[03:01] <cortana> macd: cool, where can I find that (and other similar stuff) out?
[03:01] <ShackJack> !ask | Jobias
[03:01] <kitche> ianm_: probably not at least until suspend2 and hibrate gets made into a better project
[03:01] <ubotu> Jobias: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:01] <cortana> ah thanks
[03:01] <harrism> even though when scanning its much higher
[03:01] <macd> damn I read minds today.
[03:01] <noldon> penguinistakc yes its unmounted no its not were linux is installed cuz im using linux right now
[03:01] <pjz> anyone know why gaim complains '*** stack smashing detected ***' when I try and start it up?
[03:01] <micahf> guys I really need your help!
[03:01] <therethinker> NemesisD: in terminal: ping IPADDR:22
[03:02] <NigelS> NemesisD: if you can't ping the IP and there's not a firewall dropping pings active then that's a bad sign; can the machine ping any other machine?
[03:02] <penguinistakc> Noldon once you've done that, then run tune2fs -l | grep 'Block Size'
[03:02] <micahf> the lifeguards in my town need your help too
[03:02] <thinlace> shackjack i tried that and its installed but rendering improperly without a composite manager installed
[03:02] <thinlace> do you need a composite manager installed to use xgl?
[03:02] <micahf> our local fox news station is running a story that claims the lifeguards aren't doing their jobs
[03:02] <penguinistakc> That will tell you what block size your filesystem is using.
[03:02] <micahf> but they ARE
[03:02] <Jobias> if i have vista 64-bit, what's the best way to partition a drive so that both ubuntu and vista can use it? i'm planning on using this partition to store media (ie. movies and music) and some coding projects, so i'd like both to have equally effective access to it
[03:02] <jrib> !offtopic | micahf
[03:02] <ianm_> micahf: dude fox news doesn't lie, what are you suggesting..? :P
[03:02] <ubotu> micahf: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:02] <ShackJack> thinlace: IN your xorg.conf you have to disable Composite :)
[03:02] <cortana> macd: ok i think i'll give it a go -- thanks
[03:03] <micahf> fine jrib, I'll leave
[03:03] <ianm_> kitche: with the speed things are improving now, if it's not radically better (on new hardware) within a couple years I'll be shocked
[03:03] <penguinistakc> Jobias: The only way to allow Vista to see a Linux partition is to use FAT32.
[03:03] <chemturion> can someone help me make sense of xgl, compiz, beryl, and which to choose and if it will even work with my computer
[03:03] <ShackJack> thinlace: I trust you have fglrx set in xorg.conf for dirver :)
[03:03] <CorpseCheese> ShackJack: I added the appropriate repository to my source list, and followed the command, apt-get update ; apt-get install cinelerra, but it still could not unlock the file. Suggestions?
[03:03] <therethinker> chemturion: THey're all desktop effects
[03:03] <penguinistakc> Jobias Ubuntu will see the Vista partition no problem and mount it for you
[03:03] <kahrytan> penguinistakc: Wrong
[03:03] <therethinker> chemturion: I personally like compiz-fusion the best
[03:04] <noldon> penguinistakc and the unit sda1 i guess?
[03:04] <ShackJack> CorpseCheese: You have to run as superuser sudo apt-get ...
[03:04] <NemesisD> therethinker, it doesn't like that :22 part it says unknown host
[03:04] <kahrytan> penguinistakc: there is an ext driver
[03:04] <kahrytan> penguinistakc: for windows
[03:04] <CorpseCheese> ShackJack: I see. Why?
[03:04] <Jobias> penguinistakc: should i use FAT32 over ntfs for this partition?
[03:04] <ShackJack> CorpseCheese: cause that's admin stuff a regular user shouldn't be doing :)
[03:04] <NigelS> NemesisD: are you pinging by IP?
[03:04] <Jobias> kahrytan: the only ext2/3 driver i've found for windows doesn't work on vista, and won't work on 64-bit OS's
[03:04] <penguinistakc> kahrytan Where at? I'd love to try it out
[03:04] <NemesisD> NigelS, yes
[03:05] <NigelS> NemesisD: can you ping other machines?
[03:05] <chemturion> therethinker: I know ive heard that these depend on closed drivers? how do i figure out if drivers exsit for my card?
[03:05] <charlie_> what is the adress to the minimal ubuntu iso
[03:05] <thinlace> shackjack, did that, and i also have fglrx set in xorg.conf but i'll double check
[03:05] <harrism> how do i determine if my wireless card or router is borked
[03:05] <harrism> ?
[03:05] <therethinker> chemturion: what's you're card?
[03:05] <sapuro> Jobias having problems with vista ahm?
[03:05] <penguinistakc> Jobias I recommend FAT32 because I don't trust NTFS on linux; however, there are a lot of smart people who swear by it.
[03:05] <NemesisD> NigelS, lemme see
[03:05] <Bulazeem> i have a folder on my desktop that is locked and has files in it.  how can i delete that folder and its contents?  sudo rm <filename>  yields a message saying that i can not delete a directory.
[03:05] <kahrytan> Jobias: Your right. does for 32bit
[03:05] <ShackJack> thinlace: What card you have?
[03:05] <NemesisD> NigelS, i could ping google.com
[03:05] <penguinistakc> Noldon I'm not sure what you are asking
[03:06] <Jobias> penguinistakc: that's what i was worried about too; the ubuntu forums have a few people who don't trust ntfs-3g, which is why i was wondering. thanks :)
[03:06] <pjz> Bulazeem: sudo rm -rf <filename>
[03:06] <therethinker> Bulazeem: rm <dir> -R
[03:06] <ianm_> harrism: throw the router against the wall, then you'll know
[03:06] <Jobias> sapuro: sort of. just trying to find a happy medium for both ubuntu and vista :)
[03:06] <dstadulis> ping google.com
[03:06] <noldon> me neither
[03:06] <kahrytan> penguinistakc: for 32bit windows, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236274&page=2
[03:06] <thinlace> shackjack i have a FireGL, or X1600. my xorg.conf has this: 	Identifier  "Generic Video Card" and Driver      "fglrx"
[03:06] <NigelS> NemesisD: is the machine you're trying to ping running a firewall? what do the pings fail with?
[03:06] <penguinistakc> Kahrytan Thanks!
[03:06] <pjz> Bulazeem: or sudo rm <dir>/* ; sudo rmdir <dir> though that presumes there's only one level deep
[03:06] <thinlace> shackjack: and this Option	    "Composite" "Disable"
[03:06] <Bulazeem> ty very much pjz and therethinker
[03:06] <ianm_> harrism: easiest way would be to try another computer with it
[03:06] <therethinker> Bulazeem:You're welcome
[03:06] <CorpseCheese> ShackJack: Something still is not right. Would it be listed in the synaptic package manager now?
[03:07] <ianm_> harrism: does the router have a web interface you can get at?
[03:07] <keen> i'm installing ubuntu, and am a bit confused, what type of file system should the hdd be?
[03:07] <ShackJack> CorpseCheese: Yep
[03:07] <NemesisD> NigelS, simply ping IP doesn't work, and ping IP:PORT gives me name or service not found
[03:07] <harrism> ianm_: yes i am in it
[03:07] <Jobias> keen: it should be ext3
[03:07] <keen> thank you
[03:07] <ianm_> does it ask for file system type in the normal install??
[03:07] <therethinker> NemesisD: what about ping IP:80 ?
[03:07] <NigelS> NemesisD: yes but what does it fail with? destination host unreachable..etc?
[03:07] <ShackJack> thinlace: I added these to lines in my startxgl LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/fglrx/libGL.so.1.2.xlibmesa                        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/
[03:07] <harrism> ianm_: im using a desktop hooked to it to write this
[03:07] <ianm_> keen: did you choose advanced disk partitioning?
[03:07] <NemesisD> NigelS, the ping doesn't fail it just sits there
[03:08] <linxeh> therethinker: err, ping ip:port? wtf?
[03:08] <chemturion> therethinker: ATI Technologies Inc M24 1T [FireGL M24 GL]  (rev 80)
[03:08] <noldon> penguinistakc anyway my blocksize was Block size:               4096
[03:08] <ShackJack> thinlace: And I trust you've installed xserver-xgl ?
[03:08] <NemesisD> therethinker, i think that syntax is wrong or something
[03:08] <sapuro> keen just choose ext3 and mount point should be a forward slash
[03:08] <therethinker> chemturion: I'll take a look
[03:08] <harrism> i see is kernel log eth1: link is not ready over and over again
[03:08] <linxeh> NemesisD: damn right its wrong :o
[03:08] <chemturion> therethinker: thank you!!!
[03:08] <therethinker> NemesisD: Hmm... Sorry XD
[03:08] <thinlace> shackjack: yeah i have installed it, and i'll add the lines that you added now
[03:09] <penguinistakc> Then you're backup block is going to be at block 32768
[03:09] <NigelS> NemesisD: ok, is that machine running a firewall?
[03:09] <NemesisD> NigelS, probably but i told them to have their router forward port 22 to the machine that I need to SSH to
[03:09] <penguinistakc> Noldon you would run e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/sda to replace the bad superblock
[03:09] <John_Key> if someone can help me to configure my 5.1 soundcard PLEASE msg me (it's a VIA VT8233/A/8235/8237 and I'm running Ubuntu feisty fawn 7.04, i386)
[03:10] <noldon> ok no sda1 then
[03:10] <penguinistakc> Noldon Sorry, it would be on /dev/hda1 ... I can't type worth a crap tonight
[03:10] <therethinker> chemturion: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=488385 have you tried that?
[03:11] <penguinistakc> Noldon /dev/sda1, sorry
[03:11] <pjz> is there a version of pidgin packaged for fiesty yet?
[03:11] <Pici> pjz: Not officially.
[03:11] <ShackJack> pjz: No but you can get deb at getdeb.net ;)
[03:11] <d4rkmonkey> pjz, I hear the one on getdeb.net doesn't work well for some people
[03:11] <d4rkmonkey> pjz, you're better off compiling
[03:11] <NigelS> NemesisD: right that would explain it then, if ssh is timing out, try nc <router ip> 22
[03:11] <pjz> ShackJack: ohhhh, hrm.
[03:11] <chemturion> therethinker: I'll give that a try, so you say compiz fusion, for xgl?
[03:11] <pjz> d4rkmonkey: ah, okay.
[03:12] <NigelS> NemesisD: see whether you get a header for the server
[03:12] <d4rkmonkey> pjz, you can try the one off getdeb though, just when I looked at comments a bunch of people had problems with it
[03:12] <ShackJack> d4rkmonkey: I suppose - I haven't had issues on three machines ;)
[03:12] <d4rkmonkey> ShackJack, I've never used it, I just looked at comments ;)
[03:12] <therethinker> chemturion: I definantly like Compiz much more than Beryl, and I use it with emerald
[03:12] <d4rkmonkey> ShackJack, I just compiled :D
[03:12] <NemesisD> NigelS, just kind of sitting there doing nothing
[03:13] <NigelS> NemesisD: sounds like it's dropping traffic
[03:13] <d4rkmonkey> ShackJack, lol, its 3 commands in the terminal as long as you have all the needed packages ;)
[03:13] <NemesisD> NigelS, oh dear that sounds bad
[03:13] <ShackJack> d4rkmonkey: Like I said - lazy 3 commands > 2 clicks
[03:13] <NigelS> NemesisD: well it makes sense to not let people connect to a router from the outside usually.  You could portscan it to see if they've opened one for you
[03:14] <Bung0wa> Salutations
[03:14] <d4rkmonkey> ShackJack, nu uh! you didn't include mouse movements :P
[03:14] <slimz> is there a channel for avant window navigator?
[03:14] <NemesisD> NigelS, its the only way I could see connecting to the actual computer, they have but 1 internet connection
[03:14] <ShackJack> d4rkmonkey: IN that case 3 commands > 0 commands :)
[03:14] <d4rkmonkey> ShackJack, lol
[03:14] <Bung0wa> Upon trying to reinstall Tor, I get the following error:  Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1).  Anyone familiar with this bug?
[03:15] <yosyp> hey guys i'm starting up and get this:
[03:15] <yosyp> X: cannot read /ext/X11/X symbolic link (Invalid argument), aborting.
[03:15] <yosyp> and X doens't start
[03:15] <CorpseCheese> ShackJack: What does it mean when an error window pops up telling you to run something as root?
[03:15] <gimpii> !compiz | gimpii
[03:15] <ShackJack> CorpseCheese: You append sudo to the beginning...
[03:15] <NigelS> NemesisD: yeah, it makes perfect sense. Most ppl here will be doing something similar but the fact that it's hanging implies that the router is dropping your traffic or the machine within their internal network is hanging
[03:15] <ShackJack> !sudo | CorpseCheese
[03:15] <ubotu> CorpseCheese: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[03:15] <therethinker> CorpseCheese: to sudo the last command, type: sudo !!
[03:15] <NigelS> Bung0wa: you need to tell us the relevant part of the msg, there should have been some error output before that
[03:16] <NemesisD> NigelS, fantastic, in fact i have a strong feeling that somebody didn't do their job and didn't set that port 22 to forward
[03:16] <thinlace> shackjack did you add that at the top or bottom of your startxgl?
[03:16] <ShackJack> thinlace: Bottom...
[03:16] <NigelS> NemesisD: that would be consistent with this yes :)
[03:16] <CorpseCheese> Thank you.
[03:16] <ShackJack> thinlace: Two lines I put in as one...
[03:16] <Bung0wa> I believe it's this: chown: cannot access `/var/run/tor': No such file or director
[03:16] <riz> i tried to update my ubuntu to 7.04 but it kept getting an error
[03:16] <NigelS> NemesisD: like I say, if they don't mind you could portscan the router
[03:17] <d4rkmonkey> riz, what error do you keep getting?
[03:17] <yiyok1> So I'm using Ubuntu x86, and of course, wine. I install both world of warcraft and of course the expansion into my computer with wine, I set my sound drivers with wine to be OSS only, I added the string variable into my registry, and I got an addon for WoW called "headon" which if I were able to even enter my account information to get in, I'd be able to change my video settings on linux.. Um.. I have 2Ghz, 1 gig of ram, for grap
[03:18] <Shador> Hi
[03:18] <therethinker> Everytime I try to use Gdebi, when I click install, it says that there can't be multiple package managers running, even if it's the first thing I do after a reboot
[03:18] <Shador> Ummm.... I just had a couple questions.
[03:18] <keen> the swap drive should be logical correct?
[03:18] <therethinker> Shador: Mmmhmmm?
[03:18] <riz> d4rkmonkey> Failed to fetch http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/dists/edgy/free/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
[03:19] <NigelS> Bung0wa: hmm, paste the whole output to  pastebin would be best
[03:19] <ShackJack> keen: Don't matter :)
[03:19] <d4rkmonkey> riz, did you add that repo yourself?
[03:19] <keen> ok =)

[03:20] <Shador> I already have ubuntu installed, and I want to add MS-DOS 6.22 for a dual-boot system.  How is the best way to do this?
[03:20] <riz> d4rkmonkey> not sure, there are more than just that one
[03:20] <noldon> penguinistakc now its clean
[03:20] <ShackJack> Shador: You could run MS-Dos virtual machine so you don;t have to dual boot...
[03:20] <d4rkmonkey> riz, I'm not completly sure, but you might have added some repositories which the updater doesn't know what to do with. I'm kind of guessing though

[03:21] <therethinker> Everytime I try to use Gdebi, when I click install, it says that there can't be multiple package managers running, even if it's the first thing I do after a reboot is there some flag I need to clear?
[03:21] <noldon> penguinistakc thanks for the help
[03:21] <Shador> Shack, I tried DosBox but - too slow.

[03:21] <ShackJack> Shador: If you have CPU that supports virtualization KVM built into kernel now -- good performance...
[03:21] <sapuro> keen are you still having problems installing ubuntu?
[03:22] <preaction> Ominous, are you sure you want login and not boot?
[03:22] <penguinistakc> Noldon no problem glad it worked!
[03:22] <keen> sapuro: i downloaded the alternate cd, things are going much smoother
[03:22] <Shador> Shack, I am not sure what that means, but I have ubuntu on an older machine (pentium 2)
[03:23] <keen> tho i know i will be having some problems in the near future because of my ati video card
[03:23] <sapuro> keen lol
[03:23] <sapuro> keen ahahah...I dont think so, i got an ati radeon xpress 200M and it worked fine right after installing
[03:24] <g2g591> wow 1046 people, must be LOTS of afks
[03:24] <ShackJack> Shador: Oh - then no :) here's dual boot guide - WIndows but same logic still applies... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot?highlight=%28boot%29%7C%28dual%29
[03:24] <keen> sapuro i have a radeon x1400 mobile and wanna run compizfusion....soooo we'll see
[03:24] <fisiconuclear20> nosssa
[03:24] <Bung0wa> sapuro, Do you have 3D Accelleration?
[03:24] <NigelS> Bung0wa: was this from the ubuntu repos?
[03:24] <Bung0wa> NigelS, yes.
[03:24] <ShackJack> keen: I'm running that setup on notebook - runs great ;)
[03:25] <keen> shackjack, i'm really hoping for more battery life, vista is a powerhog
[03:25] <Ominous> preaction: well its mounting my windows drives so makes no difference
[03:25] <sapuro> keen humn, but I dont think ur gonna have problems, u dont use compizfusion, I just downloaded beryl and that's still pretty good :o
[03:25] <sapuro> BongOva yep
[03:25] <jd__> how do i know what driver my wireless card uses
[03:26] <ShackJack> keen: Unfortunately not much better with Linux/ATI driver - though I think there is tweak to make better (as graphics card runs full-tilt, I think)...
[03:26] <Paddy_EIRE> jd__: lspci
[03:26] <jd__> thank u
[03:26] <penguinistakc> Shador It is easier to set up DOS first, then run the Linux installer -- Grub should find it automatically
[03:26] <sapuro> fisiconuclear20 do you speak portuguese?
[03:26] <Paddy_EIRE> jd__: in terminal
[03:26] <preaction> Ominous, it does, but you'd prefer it be done at bootup i assume. that's something completely different from running a script, you use /etc/fstab
[03:26] <penguinistakc> Otherwise, you will get into it exactly like you would a Windows partition -- I think someone already posted a link to the dual-boot howto
[03:27] <keen> well, installiation is finished, lets see how this puppy runs
[03:27] <Ominous> preaction: ok , what do i do there
[03:27] <ztomic> question: I can play ISO images on one computer but not the other. What package my have been the difference? Feisty.
[03:27] <Meta4ical> Could anyone help me get my sapphire radeon x1550 working with fglrx drivers? I've been trying myself since yesterday but a newb only knows so much
[03:27] <sapuro> keen there is a guide on installing beryl in ATI cards :o, if u want it :o
[03:27] <jd__> uhh this is a laptop though
[03:27] <Meta4ical> I posted a thread on the ubuntuforums but it's still yet to recieve a reply, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513607
[03:27] <jd__> pcmia
[03:27] <preaction> Ominous, it might be better to use the Disks Manager to get them to auto mount, messing with /etc/fstab isn't for the faint of heart
[03:27] <Paddy_EIRE> how would I speed up my repos??
[03:27] <ztomic> my=may
[03:27] <Shador> Shack, that covers putting Ubuntu on where the other OS already exists.  I want to put MS-DOS on where ubuntu exists.  Penguin, I really don't want to have to reinstall Ubuntu (I just finshed downloading 288 MB worth of updates to it).  Is there another way?
[03:28] <keen> failed to start x server again, =(
[03:28] <penguinistakc> Shador DOS will have to be on your boot partition, as I recall, and I think it has a limit on the number of cylinders you can use for its partition (it has been a decade at least since I used MS-DOS in any form)
[03:28] <ChrisF-> Anybody know how I could change the look of pidgin?  I want the user names smaller and the list just more compact.  I don't see hwere I change the look in the preferences though
[03:28] <penguinistakc> Shador Gotta put the kid to bed, then we'll see what we can do.
[03:28] <jd__> paddy_eire im on a laptop
[03:28] <sapuro> keen is it dual booting that u want to do?or do u want to install only ubuntu?
[03:29] <Paddy_EIRE> yeah
[03:29] <jd__> that will list the driver
[03:29] <keen> sapuro, ubuntu only
[03:29] <Paddy_EIRE> jd__: yes
[03:29] <jd__> ok
[03:29] <keen> well i can log in, but only in text mode....how can i get the x-server working?
[03:29] <harrism> i have to say, not so impressed with the ubuntu
[03:29] <Paddy_EIRE> how can I get faster repos

[03:32] <Paddy_EIRE> g2g591: there is a local server that mirrors that where faster than these and feisty detected them but the list ones in use now are too slo
[03:32] <sapuro> humn, I donno about configuring ur x server, but the best suggestion I can make is to reinstall ubuntu, but this time, insted of manual, try the option that says "guided installation :use largest continuous free space" that way you wont have to configure anything urself
[03:32] <Meta4ical> Could someone help me setup fglrx with my graphics card?
[03:32] <sapuro> keen I mean, u wont have to setup partitions
[03:32] <Pelo> jd__, thre is a difference between want and can ,  don'T dispair and check the forum you might find someting there
[03:32] <NigelS> Bung0wa: have you tried a dpkg --configure -a to see if it can complete the setup script

[03:33] <nbjayme> hello people.  i've seen effectv and freej that can do effects realtime.  is there a program that can do realtime effects on the current desktop screen? (much like xgl but without installing xgl)

[03:33] <Luke> Does anyone have any good guides on RAID-1 while preserving Ubuntu?
[03:33] <g2g591> pady: im not sure, id look and see if i could figure out something, but im installing something atm
[03:33] <NigelS> Bung0wa: failing that it seems to be complaining that tor isn't going.. which is odd. try if the conf doesn't work /etc/init.d/tor start && dpkg --configure -a
[03:33] <Shador> Hmmmm..... I get the feeling I did not do that right.
[03:33] <Pelo> nbjayme,  you can try asking in #ubuntu-effects
[03:33] <NigelS> Bung0wa: obv all this must be done as root
[03:34] <ztomic> Meta4ical: I know a little.
[03:34] <thinh> for ext HD what file format do i use ext2 or ext3?
[03:34] <rockets> use ext3
[03:34] <thinh> okey thanks
[03:34] <Pelo> thinh,  will you be needing to access the ext hdd from a windows computer ?
[03:34] <ShackJack> thinh: ext3 is best - unless you have to share with windows - fat32
[03:34] <penguinistakc> thinh I recommend ext3. It is much more robust than ext2
[03:34] <nbjayme> Pelo, thanks.  i'll do that.
[03:34] <thinh> use it with linux only
[03:34] <Bung0wa> NigelS, no that didn't do anything.
[03:34] <therethinker> YOu can use ext2fsd to mount your ext3 partitions
[03:35] <Pelo> thinh, ext3 then
[03:35] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Think you could try to assist me? ;p
[03:35] <sapuro> nbjayme aignxl
[03:35] <ztomic> Meta4ical: possibly.

[03:36] <isaac_> easy question!!  useing terminal how do you create a directory?
[03:36] <harrism> what does it mean if the wireless card keeps dropping connections
[03:36] <isaac_> im a noob at server
[03:36] <harrism> ?
[03:37] <ShackJack> isaac_: mkdir directory (sudo as required)
[03:37] <Pelo> isaac_,   sudo mkdir  /path
[03:37] <ztomic> Meta4ical: describe your problem. That way, if I don't know someone else may jump in.
[03:37] <isaac_> thank you
[03:37] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Sure, do you want me to explain here or maybe refer you to my forum post?
[03:37] <justin420> can anybody tell me how to make my windows be able to shade on feisty using gnome?
[03:37] <ShackJack> justin420: Go to prefs -> Windows -- double click title bar
[03:37] <Pelo> justin420,  you will need to enable the desktop effects ,  ask in ubuntu-effects for more details
[03:38] <ShackJack> Pelo: justin420: (actually no effects required)
[03:38] <Paddy_EIRE> this repo is giving me trouble deb http://arsip.ubuntu-id.org/repo feisty contrib
[03:38] <Meta4ical> ztomic: I think it'd be better if I showed you my forum post, I spent a little more time organizing it there and I'm sure I explained it better -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513607
[03:38] <ztomic> Meta4ical: you're making it difficult. if you have already posted then send the URL for everyone to see.

[03:39] <squidinkc> what does m-a mean? A howto guide has it in a command, but I don't seem to
[03:39] <Meta4ical> ztomic: I didn't want to spam the channel, I did that previously but noone chose to respond
[03:39] <alecwh> I just installed pure-ftpd
[03:39] <alecwh> how do I set up a user/access?
[03:39] <ShackJack> justin420: DOH Compiz Fusion crashed when I was shading :)
[03:40] <alecwh> !pure-ftpd > alecwh
[03:40] <justin420> ShackJack: i am using compiz, and shading is now working!
[03:40] <alecwh> I just recently installed pure-ftpd, and I have no idea how to use it. Can someone help me set it up, or link me to a guide/wiki?
[03:41] <ShackJack> justin420: Depending on which compiz you can have shortcut key and you used to be able to roll mouse over title to shade which was pretty cool..
[03:41] <ztomic> Meta4ical: thats not spam. good question. So your question is to solve lockup problem?
[03:41] <sapuro> keen any luck on the installation?
[03:41] <Meta4ical> ztomic: You're correct. ;p
[03:41] <basso> yay ubuntu works
[03:42] <basso> anyone had problems with a major long install?.. it took like an hour to format and install everything
[03:42] <Meta4ical> ztomic: I've seen posts related to my problem where people chose to use ENVY and it didn't go over so well, so I avoided that as a solution
[03:42] <ShackJack> basso: Slow computer?
[03:42] <Pelo> basso,  might be related to the size of your hdd and the speed of your cd-rom
[03:42] <basso> e6300 2gig ram and 200gig hdd... hmmm no xD
[03:42] <basso> could be the hdd thou...
[03:42] <basso> but still.. was pritty slow
[03:43] <Shrimpy_> i am booting a live cd but how do i check the files on my harddrive. (my window files)
[03:43] <Pelo> basso,  I'm betting on formating the hdd took the longest time
[03:43] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: is Lamp the extra services like MySQL, PHP and Apache?
[03:43] <basso> omg yes :O
[03:43] <ShackJack> basso: Check to make sure DMA is enabled on the drive :)
[03:43] <Yono> how do you change the text color on the gnome panel?
[03:43] <bazookatooth> i have a problem... i've been using ubuntu on my laptop (sony vaio widescreen) for a few months now... i love it.   however, I just recently bought a 21inch widescreen dell monitor, and I can't for the life of me get the resolution right on it.  anyone else have a similar problem?
[03:43] <squidinkc> What is m-a?
[03:43] <Pelo> basso,  ifyou'd been installing xp you'd still be at it
[03:43] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Yep..
[03:43] <basso> lol^^
[03:44] <Pelo> bazookatooth,  edit xort.conf and add the resolutions you need to the list
[03:44] <Pelo> bazookatooth,  xorg.conf,  sorry
[03:44] <ShackJack> basso: Think of all the time you'll save not having to defrag, check for viruses, malware, hunt down programs... :)
[03:44] <RyukZilla> ggggg
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> bazookatooth: You will end up editing your xorg.conf file and adding in the res you want...
[03:44] <basso> well.. i have come quite far with ubuntu now.. but i still havent figured out if how to get decent ATI drivers for my X1950XT card
[03:44] <keen> i'm starting to dislike ubuntu, i can't even get a gui =(
[03:44] <dk0r> how do you add apps to startup program list? system>preferences>sessions seems to lag. alot.
[03:44] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Oh it should be known that on the first guide I followed (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI) and only did the instructions for 7.04
[03:45] <IndyGunFreak> keen: why niot?
[03:45] <Pelo> basso,  start wit the restricted drivers in  menu > system > admin > restricted drivers,   if that does't work come back there are other ways
[03:45] <ShackJack> basso: You'll have to make do with fglrx...
[03:45] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Making so many changes and edits just seemed weird, because if it didn't fix it then I have all these modifications etc left over
[03:45] <drgonzo_> I was goofing around with a new USB Thumb Drive (Emprex 2GB "PD10") and decided to try formatting it, after formatting it Ubuntu 7.04 automounts the drive in Read Only, how do I fix this?
[03:45] <Browndog> Bazooka, check the Ubuntu Wiki to see if there's a resolution package available for your machine...I have a gateway laptop with an intel 915 chipset, and there was a package called 915 resolution that I installed.  Worked perfectly.
[03:45] <franky123> hey, i'm trying to set vnc up so i can remote desktop to my friend's computer. i can ssh into his computer, but we cant get vnc to work. we just did apt-get vncviewer and vncserver, but vncviewer always says it failed to connect
[03:45] <sapuro> keen have u tried the guided installation?
[03:45] <keen> well i'm on my third install and everytime i install, my x server decides not to work
[03:45] <bazookatooth> Pelo: thanks... but where is xorg.conf
[03:45] <thinh> i just format my ext hd to ext3 how do i take ownership of it?
[03:46] <thinh> i cant remove or copy to ext hd
[03:46] <Pelo> bazookatooth,   in the terminal     gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:46] <Juninho> hello
[03:46] <ztomic> Meta4ical: My first suggestion is to do #sudo depmod
[03:46] <keen> well i was trying to save some files i had on here so i wouldn't have to copy them over again, but i think imma just try the guided next time...
[03:46] <bazookatooth> Pelo, thanks.. i'll use vi :)
[03:46] <basso> well i followed a strange guide somewhere, did lots of copy past code thingi to terminal, had to reboot and bag.. could play a crappy rallygame in 3d.. so i guess it works
[03:46] <therethinker> Hmm... has anyone had an error where apt always reports that another package manager is running, even right after a reboot?
[03:46] <ShackJack> keen: Make sure you have separate partition for home - makes reinstalls easier ;)
[03:46] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Done, no output just went back to another prompt
[03:46] <varun_> where are codecs stored on ubuntu?
[03:47] <NigelS> therethinker: the update manager may have launched
[03:47] <ShackJack> therethinker: You're running apt as super user?
[03:47] <ztomic> Meta4ical: probably have to reboot to see if it worked. Edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf as well.
[03:47] <therethinker>  I stopped update-manager, and I am running as a SU
[03:47] <Meta4ical> ztomic: I'm not sure that does, but in the first guide I followed he asked me to issue this command "sudo depmod -a"
[03:47] <Luke> Does anyone have any good guides on RAID-1 while preserving Ubuntu?
[03:47] <thinh> is the media that i need to take ownsership?
[03:47] <drgonzo_> I've lost ownership of my USB Thumb drive after formatting it, and now Ubuntu Feisty sees it as a Read Only HDD, how can I get ownership back?
[03:47] <g2g591> shackjack:how do you set things up to do that?
[03:47] <basso> but here is the inner geek speaking out to you. Does anyone have problems running X264 1080P videos in ubuntu?
[03:48] <ShackJack> g2g591: Eh?
[03:48] <g2g591> drgon:chown
[03:48] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Alright I'll edit the xorg.conf and come back, thanks
[03:48] <ztomic> Meta4ical: you need to reboot after depmod
[03:48] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: Well I installed it but to be honest im really noob at this, and its asking for a command
[03:48] <Pelo> drgonzo_,  there was someting in the forum about  removeing a line from gconf-editor,   let me figure out where exactly
[03:48] <bazookatooth> now... say i make a change to my xorg.conf or something like that.. how do I restart X without restarting my cpu?
[03:48] <g2g591> shack: how do you get it so your home is on another partation than your install?

[03:49] <Luke> ShackJack: checking
[03:49] <Juninho> FUCK
[03:49] <drgonzo_> Pelo, alright, I'll give it a shot

[03:51] <Kuprin> Hey guys, I just got my new box built, but I'm having problems and trying to troubleshoot. I tried Kanotix, Ubuntu, and Kubuntu and nothing's working properly; they either display a blank screen or the graphical part of the splash screen, but the scrolling text NEVER shows up.
[03:51] <therethinker> NigelS: yep
[03:51] <Juninho> sapuro yess
[03:51] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Looks like you've got some reading to do ;) Start with: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Servers?action=show&redirect=Server
[03:51] <basso> my first focus was getting access to usenet and check if i could play some downloaded porn movies with VLC.. and it worked :O
[03:51] <Juninho> Pelo thank you
[03:51] <matt_mueller> Ok I hate to show up here and ask for help.....but I am at my wits end with my intel integrated wireless (ipw3945)...and yes I know it is supposed to be supported out of the box...but its not, and none of the forum topics have gotten me anywhere...can anyone help?
[03:52] <Pelo> Kuprin,  what video card ?
[03:52] <bulmer> Kuprin: try to select the vga or low rez and see if it makes a difference
[03:52] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Oh I misworded my question, I was saying I have 2 seperate sections with a Driver "" and I don't know which to change to fglrx
[03:52] <ShackJack> !wireless | matt_mueller (seen the troubleshooting guide here?)
[03:52] <ubotu> matt_mueller (seen the troubleshooting guide here?): Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:52] <sapuro> Juninho I speak portuguese, I'm angolan, r u having problems with ubuntu?I dont think we can speak portuguese here, try the pvt
[03:52] <matt_mueller> heh yeh, seen the troubleshooting docs
[03:52] <bulmer> matt_mueller: do you own your own AP?
[03:53] <matt_mueller> AP?  oh man now i feel like a total noob
[03:53] <exile> Hello, can someone please direct me to a wiki or something that explains how to start a service or how to use start-stop-daemon? The manual doesn't quite explain.
[03:53] <therethinker> exile: sudo /etc/init.d/SERVICE [start] [stop] [restart] 
[03:53] <bulmer> matt_mueller: ummm..stay with wired connectivity for now :)
[03:53] <Pelo> exile,  you put it in /etc/init.d I beleive,  try looking in here  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty , not exactly what you need but you can probably figure something out from the exemples
[03:53] <piao> hi, is any body use xubuntu gutsy?
[03:54] <matt_mueller> access point
[03:54] <matt_mueller> gotcha
[03:54] <Kuprin> Pelo: GeForce 8600GTS
[03:54] <Pelo> piao,  for gutsy ask in #ubuntu+1
[03:54] <bean-oh> is there a tried and true way to do wireless bridging from the host with virtualbox?
[03:54] <exile> thank you
[03:54] <Kuprin> bulmer: Can't do low rez, monitor only runs at 1280x1024
[03:54] <drgonzo_> Pelo, I'm not seeing any references to the mount name of my USB drive.
[03:54] <ztomic> Meta4ical: Line 86 should read: Driver "fglrx"
[03:54] <thinh> anyone know what i need to to to get access to my ext3 ext hd?
[03:54] <bulmer> Kuprin then perhaps during boot from cd...select the higher rez
[03:54] <Pelo> Kuprin,  to install with an ATI or nvidia card you will need to use the alternate install cd ( which is text based) and after the install you can add the proper drivers
[03:55] <Juninho> sapuro all good
[03:55] <Ry> Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig.... Does whatever a Spider-Pig does.. Can he swing? from a web? No he can't.. Cause he's a pig! Look out! He is the Spider-Pig!
[03:55] <thinh> i format it with gparted now i cant add or remove any files from it
[03:55] <penguinistakc> thinh Have you mounted it?
[03:55] <Kuprin> Pelo: interesting.
[03:55] <Juninho> sapuro I am using a translator
[03:55] <thinh> yeah
[03:55] <Pelo> drgonzo_,  anyting that looks like your usb drive in there ? this was a while back look under the FS you used on your thumb drive
[03:55] <drgonzo_> thinh, I'm having the same problem with my USB Thimb Drive
[03:55] <keen> pelo, how do i get the proper drivers after i install, i'm not sure how to use the command line
[03:55] <wlu> I have an AMD64 machine with two ati cards and three monitors. I a have been trying to get Debian to recognize the last screen but no luck. Does anyone have a tripple head ubuntu machine
[03:56] <drgonzo_> S/thimb/thumb
[03:56] <Pelo> Kuprin,  ati and nvidia donT' have open source drivers so they are not out of the box in ubuntu,  that is why
[03:56] <thinh> the strange thing is i used my account to format with gparted and still it says root on it
[03:56] <Meta4ical> ztomic: K rebooting
[03:56] <Kuprin> Pelo: Aha, I see. Didn't they change that in Feisty though?
[03:56] <Pelo> keen,  once you have installed you will get a gui,  with a vesa driver,   come back here and we can tell you how to get the ati-nvidia drivers you need
[03:57] <sapuro> Juninho oh, ok then, it shouldnt be a problem then
[03:57] <thinh> i try to use chown but it doesnt seems to help
[03:57] <Pelo> Kuprin,  there are some restricted drivers in ubuntu ( but not on the install) , that can be easily added from the menus
[03:57] <keen> pelo, i do not get a gui after install, it says that my x server isn't configured properly
[03:57] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: is there an OS that has a main interface?
[03:57] <Kuprin> Pelo: That makes little sense, my brother has a 7600 and didn't need to do that.
[03:57] <thinh> i try to use it on /dev/sdb1 and /media/disk
[03:57] <Pelo> keen,   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:57] <RyukZilla> altho im reading this =P but I would like t o have options
[03:57] <Juninho> sapuro debtor for its attention
[03:58] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: What are you trying to run a server for ?
[03:58] <sapuro> keen any code u want to use at the command prompt you can find by googling
[03:58] <sapuro> Juninho ?????????? :s
[03:58] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: A gaming server (Ragnarok Online)
[03:58] <keen> sapuro, thanks i'll try that
[03:58] <drgonzo_> Pelo, I see references to file systems under /system/storage/default_options , ntfs (the FS I used for my thumb drive) showing mount_opitons [umask=222,utf8,exec] 
[03:58] <HelpMe> I have a problem.    For some reason I cant install java runtime enviorment on mozilla
[03:58] <Pelo> Kuprin,  I'm not a ati / nvidia expert myself,  I only point ppl in the correct direction
[03:58] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Yeah, sorry you gotta get comfy with learning some stuff... There is webmin, etc... but it's not quite intuitive...
[03:59] <Pelo> drgonzo_, I have that to, leave it ,   did you also check under schemas ?
[03:59] <basso> anyone know when ubuntu media center will be released?
[03:59] <sapuro> keen usually I just type "code for (wateva I want to do) at the terminal" and usually works
[03:59] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Maybe some tips in forums chats of other gamer server sites...
[03:59] <franky123> hey i'm having a vnc problem. i am able to remote desktop into my friends computer, but all i get is a blank X session where i can move the mouse around. how can i view the desktop? xfce is running with vnc4server on the remote computer.
[03:59] <wlu> kuprin, I do not know about ubuntu but you should see if you can get fglrx with apt-cache search
[03:59] <RyukZilla> np, i will do it tho but for example what If i didnt configured the DCHP and i-net connection? since they are going to set it up tomorrow
[03:59] <Pelo> drgonzo_,  it might not be the solution for your problem,  it just sounded like someting I went throught wth my mp3 player,  I had to delete the affore mentionned entry but that was a while back
[04:00] <basso> yeah how do you get the 3D interface thing i have been hearing about for so long?
[04:00] <pawan> hi
[04:00] <ShackJack> basso: ENable desktop effects under prefs
[04:00] <Pelo> basso,  #ubuntu-effects
[04:00] <exile> therethinker: You explained to me how to start a service but how do I create my own service? i.e. Ventrilo
[04:00] <drgonzo_> Pelo, under /schemas/system/storage/default_options/ntfs I see "Name: mount options" "Value: <schema>"
[04:01] <HelpMe> can someone pleas tell me how to install java runtime enviorment on mozilla firefox?
[04:01] <ShackJack> basso: Or check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion for the next wave...
[04:01] <isaac_> how do i use swat?
[04:01] <blanky> hey guys
[04:01] <basso> "The Composite extension is not available"
[04:01] <ShackJack> HelpMe: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#Java_.26_Non-Media_Browser_Plug-ins
[04:01] <blanky> which would be faster on a slow machine, kde or gnome (Yes, I know about fluxbox, openbox, xfce, etc.)
[04:01] <bulmer> exile you proly need to learn systems programming..regarding creating daemons
[04:01] <thinlace> argh, now i can't even load my 3d drivers. i run fgrlxinfo and get this: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[04:02] <thinlace> i have tried removing and reinstalling the drivers to no avail
[04:02] <ShackJack> blanky: That you'll get a lot of argument about ;)
[04:02] <penguinistakc> thinh Did you mount it read/write with user? That is, mount -t ext3 -o rw,user /dev/xxx /media/disk
[04:02] <exile> bulmer: there's no easy way to have a program start in the background everytime linux starts?
[04:02] <Pelo> drgonzo_,  that's the same on mine,  maybe you should abandon tha tline of inquiry and do a search in the forum some keyword    read only usb  or someting similar
[04:02] <Meta4ical> ztomic: Black screen again, had to revert to vesa. Though I do have a piece of information that might help.
[04:02] <blanky> ShackJack: I know that there's a flamewar about them both, but what do YOU feel
[04:02] <thinh> dont know yet let me check rw
[04:02] <drgonzo_> Pelo, doing so right now, thanks anyway
[04:02] <thinlace> penguin mount what?
[04:02] <thinh> it was on ro before
[04:02] <franky123> hey i need help with vnc. when i remote desktop into a xubuntu box i only see an X session instead of an xfce desktop. how to fix this?
[04:02] <ShackJack> thinlace: Dang I don't know what your issue could be...
[04:02] <blanky> for example, I just installed feisty on a 1.3 ghz pc with 128 ram and it's sooo slow
[04:02] <anditosan> how can I have last.fm play on elisa?
[04:03] <blanky> so I'm guessing I should definitely use XFCE or fluxbox?
[04:03] <Meta4ical> ztomic: After I edited the xorg.conf in nano I did startx and it logged me in as root, after I logged out I noticed a line of text that could be helpful
[04:03] <blanky> which do you suggest among those two, fluxbox?
[04:03] <penguinistakc> thinh that is why you couldn't write to t
[04:03] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: np, i will do it tho but for example what If i didnt configured the DCHP and i-net connection? since they are going to set it up tomorrow
[04:03] <Meta4ical> it said screen 0 is not DRI capable
[04:03] <thinlace> shackjack i think my situation went down hill. it was at least working with 3d
[04:03] <bulmer> exile you can, but if that program dies..you need to restart it..daemons are designed to be much more and not easily killed
[04:03] <buntunu1> blanky use xubuntu for that machine or fluxbuntu
[04:03] <cafuego> blanky: Yes, with Gnome, an extra 512Mb ram would be good.
[04:03] <ShackJack> blanky: If you've got at least 384MB RAM and 500MHz system - GNOME will run fine...
[04:03] <Pelo> blanky,   gnome should be faster , kde is a bit heavier
[04:03] <penguinistakc> thinlace helping thinh use his external HDD
[04:03] <pawan> what other than xubuntu kubuntu
[04:03] <blanky> okay thanks guys
[04:03] <Kuprin> blanky: personally I'm a flux man, I run it on my other box
[04:03] <thinlace> penguin i think you have me confused, i have no external HDD
[04:03] <buntunu1> gnome isnt any faster than kde
[04:03] <buntunu1> if anything its slower
[04:03] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Sorry server services not my specialty ;)
[04:03] <thinlace> i am having trouble getting my ati commercial drivers working and xgl
[04:03] <blanky> yeah on this pc everything runs fine, but on the slow computer that I just ran, it's so slow
[04:03] <penguinistakc> thinlace I was helping another user :)
[04:03] <thinlace> oh
[04:03] <thinlace> lol
[04:03] <thinlace> sorry
[04:04] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: any good tutorial to begin with?
[04:04] <thinlace> i guess i am confused then
[04:04] <Shrimpy_> hello, i'm running a live cd 6.10 and i am trying to view the contents of the hardrive (aka the window files) how do i make this possible?
[04:04] <blanky> and I know that people used to think gnome was faster than kde but lately it's felt a lot snappier
[04:04] <exile> bulmer: the problem I'm having is when I use 'start-stop-daemon' it's not letting the program I want to run see it's dependecies in it's own folder. For example: it's config file
[04:04] <blanky> so I guess I'll use fluxbox, because I don't really like xfce
[04:04] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Can't think of one...
[04:04] <buntunu1> actually its not gnome thats slow.. its ubuntu thats slow
[04:04] <thinh> i add the rw
[04:04] <thinh> and didnt work
[04:04] <thinlace> why is ubuntu slow?
[04:04] <ShackJack> Shrimpy_: Open Places -
[04:04] <blanky> Kuprin: hey what do you suggest to use as a dock, or something to put icons on my desktop, in fluxbox
[04:04] <ShackJack> thinlace: Because it didn't go to school?
[04:04] <HelpMe> ShackJack:    It says: WARNING:   "The following packages cannot be authenticated"    shoudl I still download it?
[04:05] <blanky> thinlace: http://linandwin.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/how-to-speed-up-ubuntu/
[04:05] <penguinistakc> thinh You are mounting with both the rw and user options?
[04:05] <drgonzo_> Alright, I'm just going to format the USB stick in windows XP and see if that fixes things
[04:05] <Kuprin> blanky: Nothing? That's how I run anyway. :3
[04:05] <drewb1> hallo
[04:05] <blanky> Kuprin: alright, it's because my little sister will be using the computer, it's bad enough using fluxbox
[04:05] <bulmer> exile have you looked at the man pages of update-rc.d
[04:05] <thinlace> shackjack i think the problem is my xorg.conf is messed up and invalid
[04:05] <thinlace> how do i restore it?
[04:05] <ShackJack> HelpMe: It's not a problem - just looking for a key... Not sure what key it's looking for...
[04:05] <exile> bulmar: no but I will if that's what you suggest =)
[04:05] <Shrimpy_> ShackJack: ok...it's showing the ubuntu "/" (filesystem) files. how do i view the windows portion?
[04:06] <thinh> not yet my fstab is weird got uuid
[04:06] <ShackJack> thinlace: I think dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[04:06] <HelpMe> ShackJack:  ok, thanks
[04:06] <pawan> i have ubuntu now i want to install kubunut
[04:06] <drewb1> Anybody have any luck with Red5 in Ubuntu?
[04:06] <ShackJack> Shrimpy_: Go to Computer and you'll see mounted drives...
[04:06] <lethologica> When will ubuntu support ext4?
[04:06] <bulmer> exile yes, i suggest you look at that and see if it may solve yours
[04:06] <ShackJack> pawan: sudo aptitude install #kubuntu-desktop  -- then you cna select at login
[04:07] <pawan> ok

[04:07] <ShackJack> lethologica: Tried what?
[04:08] <thinh> how does the entry look like for ext3?
[04:08] <lethologica> Installing something that wasn't supported
[04:08] <ShackJack> Shrimpy_: Nothing else in Computer -- these are local drives or on a network?
[04:08] <penguinistakc> thinh You only need to add it in the fstab if you plan on mounting it permanently
[04:08] <ShackJack> lethologica: Ah :)

[04:15] <bulmer> ianweller: well go ahead and try anyways..you cant lose much :)
[04:15] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: thats not all but to configure up everything ><
[04:15] <ianweller> yeah.
[04:15] <ShackJack> keen: lspci
[04:15] <ianweller> bulmer: so what do i need to do when i boot it up with the live cd
[04:15] <tetrimino> yo guys
[04:15] <ianweller> bulmer: reinstall or what?
[04:15] <tetrimino> i got a boner
[04:15] <drgonzo_> Well I'll be damned!
[04:15] <ShackJack> keen: What are you installing on - Dell notebook?
[04:15] <ianweller> bulmer: i'd prefer not to reinstall
[04:15] <keen> shackjack, where do i type that, i'm nolonger at the command line
[04:16] <wallacew> alecw2, I don't know, I have never set up an ftp server. Try it and see if that lets you do what you need to do?
[04:16] <drgonzo_> I had to format the USB stick in WinXP to get rid of that goofy ownership snafu
[04:16] <bulmer> ianweller: just boot it with the transferred hd..and see how it goes
[04:16] <ShackJack> keen: Eh... not following - in terminal -- what are you installing on Dell noteboko?
[04:16] <alecw2> wallacew: nope, I want to edit the FTP users, not the "users" on ubuntu. Can anyeone help me with this?
[04:16] <alecw2> Where can I find a list of commands for pureftpd?
[04:16] <ztomic> Meta4ical: 0 is always the first number. 1 is the 2nd, 2 is the 3rd. So screen 0 is first.
[04:17] <ianweller> bulmer: k, i'll get back to you on what it does
[04:17] <thinh> how you change the ownership of ext hd?
[04:17] <bulmer> chmod
[04:17] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: Do u know where I can find a list of basic Linux commands? please
[04:17] <keen> shackjack, i just did a fresh install of feisty using alternate cd, when it booted there was no gui and it told me to reconfigure my xserver, so i'm trying to do that now
[04:17] <Meta4ical> ztomic: My idea didn't go over so well, could I have that link again?
[04:17] <ShackJack> keen: WHy aren't you answering my question?
[04:17] <bulmer> RyukZilla: you want some2000+ of them? just press tab twice in a terminal
[04:18] <ztomic> Meta4ical: http://technowizah.com/2006/10/debian-how-to-ati-drivers.html
[04:18] <keen> shackjack, i thought i did?
[04:18] <alecw2> I just set up Pure-FTPd on my desktop, and I need to modify one of my users. How do I do it? Is there a file I can edit with gedit?
[04:18] <Meta4ical> ztomic: thanks
[04:18] <kbahey> is this the right place to ask about apache in edgy vs. feisty? serious bloat
[04:18] <thinlace> ok, i got my 3d working again
[04:18] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: http://blog.lxpages.com/ultimate_linux.html  or google..
[04:18] <RyukZilla> bulmer: no but the main ones? like compile and such or how to create folders, access some files, install files
[04:18] <ShackJack> thinlace: Sweet!
[04:18] <basso> i have concluded that i will never get desktop effects
[04:18] <ShackJack> keen: answer?
[04:18] <thinlace> i tried an xgl session and its not garbled but the whole desktop doesn't render. like it renders once but that is it
[04:19] <ShackJack> keen: model? notebook?
[04:19] <ztomic> Meta4ical: I have to go. Post your question again. sorry I couldn't help.
[04:19] <thinlace> it won't render as i click things, no state. its just frozen. my mouse moves and renders tohugh
[04:19] <bulmer> RyukZilla: if you have been using the command line in Windows..pretty much similar in concept in linux
[04:19] <keen> shackjack ooooh, misread ur question, dell inspiron e1505
[04:19] <thinlace> sometimes the entire top gnome bar is blank and white
[04:19] <ShackJack> keen: Same as mine --- 1:0:0 bus id likely ...
[04:19] <thinlace> i feel like i am so close but something is wrong
[04:19] <Frogzoo_> thinlace: check you window manager hasn't been reset to metacity, which will happen if xgl bombs
[04:19] <keen> shackjack thanks
[04:19] <astro76> RyukZilla, here's a couple to start https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto
[04:20] <thinlace> wait, you mean i should have beryl installed and running? because right now i am just trying to start a session with JUST xgl
[04:20] <jerbear> anyone use nx free server (not freenx)?
[04:20] <tetrimino> EVERYBODY I GOT A BONER!! WRITE IN PRIVATE!!! :D
[04:20] <Frogzoo_> thinlace: also, -> #ubuntu-effects
[04:20] <ShackJack> astro76: RyukZilla has miles to go before he sleeps ;)
[04:20] <penguinistakc> thinh You don't change ownership of a device -- it is always owned by root Generally, when the device is mounted, it is owned by the user who mounted it
[04:20] <Frogzoo_> tetrimino: thanks for sharing
[04:20] <ShackJack> !ohmy | tetrimino
[04:20] <thinlace> oh
[04:20] <ubotu> tetrimino: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:20] <Meta4ical> anyone know why fglrxinfo might return this at the top? Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[04:20] <thinh> okey but how do i use it
[04:20] <thinh> i cant get to it
[04:21] <ShackJack> thinlace: no focus on XGL first... I had to have those LIBRARY preload lines for mine to work and disable composite...
[04:21] <thinh> i can see files but cant read or write to it
[04:21] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: ye ;O; pretty much, but i hope i can learn that easy and fast, since its not that hard, its about logic whatsoever
[04:21] <RyukZilla> bulmer: thanks, that will help
[04:21] <twixster> I was wondering if someone here could help me with my video cards and monitors....   I have 2 nvidia graphics cards ( a 7800 agp and a 5200 pci) i got the one to work well with my main monitor but that leaves my 2 17" monitors just sitting there doing nothing
[04:21] <thinh> and i use my login to format aswell
[04:21] <Frogzoo_> Meta4ical: most likely you've not enable DRI
[04:21] <penguinistakc> alecw2 Do you have an ftpgroup group and an ftpuser user?
[04:21] <Dr_Link> I'm booting up from a Ubuntu disk on my Windows 98 computer... that's my test dummy.
[04:21] <RyukZilla> astro76: thanks ;D that will help too
[04:21] <thinh> but it still says root on it
[04:21] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: like I said, maybe gameserver chat or forum can give you a quick start...
[04:21] <alecw2> penguinistakc: Yes, I do.
[04:21] <penguinistakc> thinh Is it mounted right now?
[04:21] <jerbear> i'm using nx free server on feisty, and every time i login, a core dump gets put in my home folder. anyone experienced this?
[04:21] <Meta4ical> frogzoo: do you know where I could go about doing that? big newb here
[04:21] <thinh> nope
[04:21] <thinh> i took it out
[04:22] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: Of course but more than that, I need to configure up everything
[04:22] <Dr_Link> ...will it work if I'm on a 1.98 GB-free space hard drive Windows 98 if I try to start from Ubuntu?
[04:22] <thinh> i manually mounted it dont know if that matters
[04:22] <Shrimpy_> ShackJack: i found my feisty live cd and reboot and still nothing on the computer-file browser
[04:22] <thinlace> shackjack so i should be able to run xgl session without beryl/compiz? ok so i put those library lines in there
[04:22] <alecw2> penguinistakc: Do you know how to chnage a user setting?
[04:22] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: Look in Module section of your xorg.conf
[04:22] <pawan> other than kubuntu xubuntu
[04:22] <Frogzoo_> Meta4ical: in "Module" section, add  Load    "dri"
[04:22] <bulmer> Dr_Link: you're using a liveCD? it does not require hd spaces
[04:22] <Dr_Link> The CD drive is churning away...
[04:22] <ShackJack> thinlace: Oh yes, you can...
[04:22] <alecw2> penguinistakc: I want to change the default "directory" it loads to.
[04:22] <thinlace> so what should the window manager be if not metacity?
[04:22] <reya276> is there a channel for apache?
[04:22] <Meta4ical> frogzoo: do you know if this is needed by fglrx or not needed? sorry for so many questions
[04:22] <thinlace> and where do i change it?
[04:23] <bulmer> reya276: yes../join #apache
[04:23] <ShackJack> Shrimpy_: That's really weird -- sudo mount -a in terminal - though I don't know default pw for live cd... dunno if that would help though..
[04:23] <Dr_Link> It's actually a CD+RW that I burned the ISO image to.
[04:23] <Frogzoo_> Meta4ical: it's needed for 3d
[04:23] <josh__> What can I do to do an "almost complete reboot"; reboot the OS without actually rebooting the hardware
[04:23] <Dr_Link> And it's starting fom a Windows 98 computer...
[04:23] <wallacew> Could someone help me figure out why the last step of this process fails and therefore I cannot get my modem working? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Smartlink#head-d3468dd8b240aa1005c9994a0e31717735bfaa80
[04:23] <blanky> hey guys what do you suggest, openbox or fluxbox, for a slow computer which my little sister will use
[04:23] <bulmer> Dr_Link just be a bit patient..liveCD takes a lil while to boot
[04:23] <thinh> is there a way for me to set permission when you format the drive using gparted
[04:23] <wallacew> blanky, how slow?
[04:23] <ShackJack> blanky: XUbuntu will be easier for her to use...
[04:23] <Dr_Link> bulmer: Eh. Exactly how long?
[04:23] <keen> shackjack, i just finished the configuration, how do i start up xserver again?
[04:23] <blanky> wallacew: 128 mb ram, 1.3 ghz
[04:23] <thinh> i use gparted in format ext hd
[04:24] <Meta4ical> Frogzoo_: It's already in there hm..
[04:24] <bulmer> Dr_Link: just be patient :)
[04:24] <blanky> ShackJack: I have a feeling XFCE will be too slow
[04:24] <penguinistakc> alecw2 You can manually change the directory by editing the file /etc/pureftpd.passwd
[04:24] <Dr_Link> m'kay
[04:24] <ShackJack> keen: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:24] <jim> is grip still supported in the latest Ubuntu
[04:24] <ShackJack> blanky: specs?
[04:24] <Dr_Link> I'm going to go get some water and take a shower.
[04:24] <reya276> thanks
[04:24] <blanky> ShackJack: 128 ram, 1.3 ghz
[04:24] <wallacew> blanky: Well, how old is your little sister? You don't want it to be too hard for her to use
[04:24] <orbisvicis> !alsa
[04:24] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[04:24] <bulmer> Dr_Link: good luck
[04:24] <penguinistakc> thinh What does the line for the drive in /etc/mtab say? That will show you how the drive is mounted now.
[04:24] <alecw2> penguinistakc: I'll try.
[04:24] <Shrimpy_> ShackJack: nothing happens
[04:24] <ShackJack> blanky: That'll be fine -- little more ram would be nice..
[04:24] <orbisvicis> !info alsa
[04:24] <ubotu> Package alsa does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:24] <orbisvicis> !info alsa-base

[04:24] <blanky> wallacew: the 'hardness' isn't really much of a problem, I can customize it to be easy, and she'll get used to it
[04:25] <penguinistakc> alecw2 Pureftpd has documentaton on its site -- pureftpd.org
[04:25] <keen> shackjack, still no gui...keeps failing to start xserver any ideas?
[04:25] <blanky> I'm just pretty interested in openbox, but fluxbox has more history and im pretty sure that'll work for sure, have you had any luck with openbox?
[04:25] <ShackJack> Shrimpy_: K - sorry I don't know why your LIve cd wouldn't be mounting your exisiting windows drive... you really should see something under Computer...
[04:25] <alecw2> penguinistakc: That file doesn't exist...
[04:25] <ShackJack> keen: with vesa driver?
[04:25] <thinh> /dev/sdb1 /media/disk ext3 rw 0 0
[04:25] <rockets> Totem keeps throwing me plugin errors when I try to play this dvd i have but I have libdvdcss2 installed and all the gstreamer plugins too
[04:25] <twixster> is there a channel for graphics card help
[04:25] <thinh> thats my mtab
[04:25] <ShackJack> keen I don't suppose you can pastebin your xorg :(
[04:25] <penguinistakc> alecw2 Then you don't have any virtual users at all...you may be using system users?
[04:26] <penguinistakc> thinh you need to unmount the drive and remount it with the user and rw options
[04:26] <keen> shackjack, how do i do that?
[04:26] <wallacew> blanky, Well, I tend to agree with ShackJack that XFCE would be the best choice. 1.3ghz is more than sufficient, the RAM is disappointing but could definitely be upgraded.  I assume that we're talking about SDRAM?
[04:26] <Shrimpy_> ShackJack: ok i going to mess around with it for a little bit and if i learn anything new i tell ya :)
[04:26] <ShackJack> !pastebin | keen
[04:26] <ubotu> keen: 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)
[04:26] <Dr_Link> thanks
[04:26] <Dr_Link> ...
[04:26] <wallacew> blanky, but it would work with 128 mb
[04:26] <thinh> just edit in mtab?
[04:26] <Dr_Link> Loading restricted drivers... It's taking forever on this step.
[04:26] <Lucios> hi, i got problem with my firefox.It close by it self each time i open it.It happen 10 sec ago.
[04:26] <ShackJack> keen: I can send you my xorg.conf -- uses fglrx :)
[04:26] <blanky> Yeah I'm pretty sure it's SDRAM, unfortunately, it's an old pc I just put together, and upgrading isn't an option
[04:26] <blanky> that's why I'm looking for the thing that would run best
[04:26] <alecw2> penguinistakc: I'm not sure.... All I know is that I folllowed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureFTP
[04:26] <reya276> seems like no one is on that Apache channel I see a list but no one is chatting or responding
[04:27] <keen> shackjack, how would i use ur xorg file (i'm very new to ubuntu and linux)
[04:27] <penguinistakc> thinh no unmount the drive umount /dev/sdb1
[04:27] <blanky> wallacew: you sure 128 will do fine?
[04:27] <rockets> How can I figure out what codec a DVD requires?
[04:27] <blanky> it'll mostly be used for web browsing
[04:27] <orbisvicis> !mercurial
[04:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mercurial - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:27] <Dr_Link> Is Ubuntu LiveCD supposed to... pause for long periods of time during loading?
[04:27] <ShackJack> keen: I dunno... unfortunatly dunno what else I can do without seeing it... It really should work with vesa at the very least and I have same notebook with X1400 card...
[04:28] <penguinistakc> Then remount mount -t ext3 -o rw,user /dev/sdb1 /media/disk
[04:28] <Lucios> It always prompt start new season each time i open my firefox
[04:28] <thinh> i still cant do anything with it
[04:28] <keen> shackjack all i did was a fresh install and it did not work, am i doing something different or wrong?
[04:28] <wallacew> blanky: Never tried it with 128mb (I have SDRAM coming out of my ears), but according to what I'm reading on the internet it can be run alright.
[04:28] <keen> shackjack i have both alternate and live cd here
[04:28] <Dr_Link> ...hello?
[04:29] <blanky> wallacew: I won't take my chances, I have very little hd space, so I'll just try fluxbox
[04:29] <ianweller> Dr_Link: hi
[04:29] <ShackJack> keen  - did live cd boot into GUI?
[04:29] <keen> shackjack no
[04:29] <wallacew> blanky: How much harddrive space?
[04:29] <Lucios> I cannot open lowyat.net.My firefox will close it self
[04:29] <keen> shackjack same erorr
[04:29] <korhalf> I was wondering if there was a program for linux to turn ur keyboard into a midi device
[04:29] <thinh> any idea what might be the problem?
[04:29] <korhalf> that way i can trigger notes from kyes on the keyboard
[04:29] <Lucios> any idea?
[04:29] <korhalf> is this possible?
[04:29] <Dr_Link> SHould livecd pause for long periods of time at certain loading spots?
[04:29] <ShackJack> keen: Well that tell us something - can't remember if mine did or not...
[04:29] <ianweller> Dr_Link: yeah cause it sometimes takes a while to load stuff off the cd.
[04:30] <Traveler3> This free host i found has no limits on space and bandwidth.
[04:30] <Traveler3> www.igotfree.com
[04:30] <ShackJack> keen: What is resolution on your monitor?
[04:30] <twixster> keen - if the gui booted in the live cd copy the device portion of the live cds xorg.conf and paste it into your xorg.conf and that should get you to a gui
[04:30] <Dr_Link> It loaded the Linux kernel, showed the Ubuntu title screen, and then it said on line 2 of a screen of text: Loading restricted drivers...
[04:30] <ShackJack> twixster: It didn't :(
[04:30] <Dr_Link> Should it be doing that?
[04:30] <keen> shackjack bcm43xx: Error" Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode.fw" not available or load failed    just popped up on my screen
[04:30] <ianweller> Dr_Link: that can take a while
[04:30] <ianweller> Dr_Link: yes it should
[04:30] <wallacew> blanky, do your research on the internet. XFCE is the most basic one that still maintains an air of being modern. And all the anecdotes I am reading suggest it will be fine on your pc
[04:30] <keen> shackjack 1440 x 900
[04:30] <blanky> wallacew: alright then, I will, thanks for your help

[04:33] <ShackJack> keen: Wha?  sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[04:33] <enoddoeht> Hello.  I was curious as to how to patch a kernel.  I attempted to follow the on-line instructions but was unsuccessful.  I am attemptin gto add LCD support for my diNobo Laser.
[04:34] <Frogzoo_> RyukZilla: maybe do the desktop install, and then add LAMP
[04:34] <ianweller> bulmer: yeah
[04:34] <penguinistakc> thinh The problem is in the way you are mounting the drive. Unfortunately, I can't diagnose the issue effectively from afar, so I'll have to refer you to the man pages on mount, mtab, and fstab

[04:34] <keen> shackjack i typed that, i have a few commands at the bottom, but the rest of the page is blank
[04:34] <Frogzoo_> !kernel | enoddoeht
[04:34] <ubotu> enoddoeht: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[04:34] <ShackJack> keen: Ummm. .there's you're problem there...
[04:34] <Zachera> I need help with my Compaq.
[04:34] <Zachera> anyone willing to message me
[04:34] <thinh> okey thats cool man
[04:34] <bulmer> ianweller: and within bios...it says you can boot from cd?
[04:34] <aib_42> Henk: I'm here
[04:34] <wallacew> !smartlink
[04:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about smartlink - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:34] <keen> shackjack, how do i fix it? =D
[04:34] <RyukZilla> bean-oh: a game server but im really a nooooooooob in this kind of stuff and thought that, server's os had this all cute OS like the Desktops for easy management
[04:34] <ianweller> bulmer: yessir
[04:34] <ShackJack> keen: THat dpkg thing....
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> Zachera: whats your problem?.. and if you're not registered, you can't message
[04:35] <Henk> aib_42: so am i :)
[04:35] <ShackJack> keen up arrow for command history...
[04:35] <Frogzoo_> Zachera: just tell the chan your problem
[04:35] <keen> shackjack, i've doen it twice now....shame thing still...am i doing it wrong?
[04:35] <RyukZilla> Frogzoo_: wouldnt it be bad having a desktop installation? isnt it better to have a server one?
[04:35] <aib_42> Henk: we should check with the people here if what I'm suggesting is sensible
[04:35] <Frogzoo_> RyukZilla: doubt a noob will notice the difference tbh
[04:35] <bulmer> ianweller: sometimes the cdrom is out of whack..you may have to try rebooting several times to get it to work..i dont know why it is
[04:35] <bean-oh> RyukZilla, why use a server install? just use the desktop install and add the software you need.
[04:35] <ShackJack> keen: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  --- doesn't it ask a bunch or questions then?
[04:35] <Henk> aib_42: yeah do so please :)
[04:35] <enoddoeht> Well, I have 3 patch files for bluetooth that I am attempting to apply but nothing seems to happen when I try to use it.

[04:36] <MikeVacc> Hello Folks.. Anybody knowledable in using Beryl here?
[04:36] <ianweller> lalala
[04:36] <keen> shackjack yes it does, i've answered them all twice now
[04:36] <ShackJack> MikeVacc: see #ubuntu-effects
[04:36] <MikeVacc> ur the best :)
[04:36] <ShackJack> keen: Ran as super user?
[04:37] <keen> shackjack u mean with sudo in front? ya
[04:37] <aib_42> Henk: ow, I'm having a hard time summarizing. It's almost 6am here :)
[04:37] <Dr_Link> After loading
[04:37] <ianweller> bulmer: i know this particular drive works fine though
[04:37] <Dr_Link> the drivers and all that stuff.
[04:37] <RyukZilla> bean-oh: wont it be a bad idea to? and... a desktop linux one o.o which one is a good deal btw? i think ill go for that option and second, how to uninstall this Ubuntu?
[04:37] <Henk> aib_42: its 4:37 here :p
[04:37] <Dr_Link> Should there be a blank black screen?
[04:38] <ShackJack> keen: you sure... that should really make your xorg.conf and it shouldn't be blank - I don't understand what's gonig on...
[04:38] <ianweller> bulmer: and it goes to the first menu, and i hit "start or install ubuntu", and then it loads the kernel and blanks the screen and freezes with a blinking cursor
[04:38] <racarter_> how can i convert a .tiff fie to .jpeg?
[04:38] <keen> shackjack me either, imma just reinstall one more time and elete all my partitions this time
[04:38] <ShackJack> racarter_: Open in GIMP - save as...
[04:38] <Frogzoo_> racarter: gimp might
[04:38] <RyukZilla> bean-oh: and will the files be the same using a desktop install ?(like i will be able to do t hings like if it was a server install?)
[04:38] <ShackJack> keen: Yeah - thos evid problems will prolly be waiting...
[04:38] <Dr_Link> ...eh
[04:38] <bulmer> ianweller: did you wait long enuff?
[04:38] <aib_42> guys... if GRUB's working with an extended partition (sda2 -> sda5+6+7) and we use a partition editor to make them three primary partitions... would GRUB still work, assuming we rename the hd4's to hd0's (etc.) in the .lst file?
[04:38] <ShackJack> keen: I remember having a little touble but not a lot of tourble...
[04:39] <racarter> gimp told me to flatten the image first.. which i did but then the image looks different
[04:39] <racarter> sort of fuzzy
[04:39] <drgonzo_> does anyone know how to modify the permissions used when Ubuntu Feisty auto mounts a USB Drive ?
[04:39] <Luke> Does anyone know how to take one harddrive and create a mirror raid1 with a second harddrive while persisting the data from the first?
[04:39] <Dr_Link> When you're booting from a LiveCD, should there be a black screen with nothing on it during the stages of startup?
[04:39] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: wont it be a bad idea to? and... a desktop linux one o.o which one is a good deal btw? i think ill go for that option and second, how to uninstall this Ubuntu?
[04:39] <ianweller> Dr_Link: probably not
[04:39] <bean-oh> RyukZilla, why would that bad a bad idea? linux is linux.
[04:39] <Dr_Link> eh
[04:39] <Dr_Link> what should I do at this point?
[04:39] <ianweller> Dr_Link: uh, what did it do before it went black?
[04:39] <Meta4ical> All of my ideas failed :(
[04:39] <ShackJack> RyukZilla: Just install over it if you want desktop -- recommend making separate partition for /home
[04:40] <rockets> Are there any other gstreamer frontends besides totem?
[04:40] <aib_42> Henk: (anyway... if you've already copied the boot files and the boot sector to the windows partition, you should be able to boot it after it's made a primary partition)
[04:40] <ianweller> bulmer: numlock won't turn on/off. is that a problem?
[04:40] <Dr_Link> I didn't see.
[04:40] <RyukZilla> bean-oh: because maybe, server installs are designed for it?
[04:40] <Dr_Link> I was in the shower.
[04:40] <Dr_Link> :O
[04:40] <ianweller> bulmer: plus it's been going for 10 minutes
[04:40] <ianweller> Dr_Link: o rly ok.
[04:40] <ianweller> Dr_Link: well i'd let it sit for a little bit
[04:40] <Henk> aib_42: what if we only make that one primary?
[04:40] <Dr_Link> It's been sitting for about 5 full minutes now.
[04:40] <Henk> aib_42: I should be able to still mount it in ubuntu right?
[04:40] <ianweller> Dr_Link: that sir is a problem
[04:40] <thinlace> well i've done everything by the book. people with my laptop claim it works. i log in with xgl session and the desktop renders but that's it, it won't update after the first render
[04:40] <bulmer> ianweller: oh..i dont know then..i have a cd that it may boot sometimes, some other times it does not
[04:40] <ianweller> Dr_Link: how old is your cd drive?
[04:40] <Dr_Link> ...
[04:41] <bean-oh> RyukZilla, again, linux is linux. what services are you planning to run?
[04:41] <thinlace> i am not sure what else i can do. obviously ati has wasted hours of my life. they should just release a working driver for once
[04:41] <ianweller> bulmer: this cd came directly from ubuntu, it has a pretty case, and installed ubuntu on the hard drive that i'm trying to boot now :D
[04:41] <Dr_Link> This is a  year model199x computer.
[04:41] <RyukZilla> bean-oh: LAMP
[04:41] <pete83> rockets: that is easy to find out
[04:41] <aib_42> Henk: well their ordering would be fuzzy, I've never worked with such a MBR
[04:41] <Dr_Link> Everything went fine up to here.
[04:41] <ianweller> Dr_Link: k.
[04:41] <ianweller> Dr_Link: try hitting ctrl-alt-f1
[04:41] <rockets> pete83, ive been looking, havent found any
[04:41] <ShackJack> thinlace: YOU have DRI mode 666 and dri glx in modules section of xorg?
[04:41] <orbisvicis> !kernelsource
[04:41] <aib_42> Henk: like, it's physically the third in line, yet it would be sda1?
[04:41] <bulmer> ianweller: okay...i dont know what to tell you...
[04:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kernelsource - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:41] <orbisvicis> !kernel-source
[04:41] <ubotu> To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages
[04:42] <Dr_Link> There we go.
[04:42] <pete83> rockets: open synaptic, find the gstreamer package, right click, go to properties>>dpendencies>>dependant packages
[04:42] <Henk> aib_42: the last thing I want happening is making the windows partition unaccessible cuz I need the data that's on it :(
[04:42] <ianweller> bulmer: should i start screaming like a chicken asking for help from somebody else then?
[04:42] <Dr_Link> It's telling me Loading...
[04:42] <thinlace> shackjack i have dri mode 666 but not dri glx
[04:42] <Dr_Link> ANyway,
[04:42] <thinlace> what is the 2nd one?
[04:42] <rockets> pete83, good point
[04:42] <Kuprin> Just tried the Ubu alt installer on my video problem, and IT starts to a blank screen after I hit "install in text mode"
[04:42] <watwatada> hello
[04:42] <ianweller> Dr_Link: ok so it isn't frozend
[04:42] <Henk> aib_42: how do you mean?
[04:42] <watwatada> igotfree
[04:42] <ianweller> Dr_Link: try hitting ctrl-alt-f7 now
[04:42] <bulmer> ianweller: have you tried the hard disk you transferred over?
[04:42] <ShackJack> thinlace: Up at top -- check again -- under modules they should be ther by default...
[04:42] <ianweller> bulmer: yes, and that is what brought me here
[04:42] <ianweller> :D
[04:42] <bulmer> ianweller: yah you can ask anyone else
[04:42] <ianweller> anyone else: help?
[04:42] <Dr_Link> Eh
[04:42] <Dr_Link> nothing.
[04:42] <aib_42> Henk: like swap is sectors 1-10, linux is 11-100, windows is 101-3000 whatever
[04:43] <Dr_Link> It still says Loading, please wait...
[04:43] <Henk> aib_42: yeah thats right
[04:43] <ianweller> okay uh hit ctrl-alt-f2
[04:43] <ShackJack> !enter | Dr_Link
[04:43] <ubotu> Dr_Link: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[04:43] <ianweller> Dr_Link: ^^
[04:43] <thinlace> oh wait, yes i do have it
[04:43] <Dr_Link> ...
[04:43] <aib_42> Henk: well, the partition editor shouldn't touch anything but the MBR, and we have a backup of the MBR, right?
[04:43] <ShackJack> thinlace: And you say you installed xserver-xgl ?
[04:43] <Dr_Link> ianweller: So do I just "please wait" for now?
[04:44] <Luke> Does anyone know how to take one harddrive and create a mirror raid1 with a second harddrive while persisting the data from the first?
[04:44] <MikeVacc> hmm, no-body seems to me awake in #ubuntu-effects.. I realize that this is not an open discussion on those types of things.. WOuld anybody knoledgable about Beryl contact me??
[04:44] <Henk> aib_42: yup we do I don't know where it is though :p
[04:44] <aib_42> Henk: /tmp/MBRbackup?
[04:44] <Henk> aib_42: I just did the command u gave me
[04:44] <ianweller> Dr_Link: give it another 5 minutes and if it doesn't do anything just reboot it manually, it won't harm anything (hopefully)
[04:44] <thinlace> absolutely i am able to start an xgl session it just won't render properly
[04:44] <aib_42> =)
[04:44] <rockets> HAHAHA juk depends on gstreamer
[04:44] <ianweller> Dr_Link: if it isn't installing anything it shouldn't be a problem just to reboot
[04:44] <thinlace> i installed it with this: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl
[04:44] <bean-oh> RyukZilla, lamp runs on any linux. doesn't matter if its server or desktop. if you're totally new to linux you're better off learning in a desktop environment.
[04:44] <Henk> aib_42: yeah its there
[04:44] <ShackJack> thinlace: does it start "slow" -- diagnol wipe of checkboard  pattern?
[04:44] <aib_42> Henk: (I should copy it to the USB drive)
[04:45] <Dr_Link> I just saw the boot menu and pressed enter after hilighting the start/install Ubuntu option... and then it started...
[04:45] <odd> Hello, I was curious as to what to do about "HID create error 13 (Permission denied)" when attempting to connect to my bluetooth mouse and keyboard?
[04:45] <RyukZilla> bean-oh: Thanks, im downloading ubuntu 7.04 desktop
[04:45] <Frogzoo_> racarter: imagemagick's probably best for tiff -> jpg
[04:45] <thinlace> it gets passed any checkboard pattern and renders the real desktop. but when you go to interact with the desktop you realiez its like a frozen image, there's no response rendered. meaning clicking on icons doesn't highlight them
[04:45] <ShackJack> thinlace: not what I asked....
[04:45] <aib_42> Henk: the last thing I want to be is the cause of the loss of your data :)
[04:45] <thinlace> and clicking on the top menu bar doesn't bring out menus. its like the whole thing is frozen, except my mouse is fine and renders around
[04:45] <thinlace> oh
[04:45] <twixster> can anyone help me with two graphics cards and three monitors and getting them setup
[04:45] <Dr_Link> So...
[04:46] <Dr_Link> I hope it'll be saffe.
[04:46] <thinlace> i don't think so no, it doesn't start slow
[04:46] <ShackJack> thinlace: need to know for sure...
[04:46] <Henk> aib_42:  I know :) I copied it to the usb stick
[04:46] <The_Gun_Man> Hello
[04:46] <thinlace> should i go start another session? ok. i will. so look for the checkboard that starts when x starts?
[04:46] <ShackJack> thinlace: You have composite disabled in xorg.conf?
[04:46] <thinlace> and see if its slowly rendered in a diagnol wipe?
[04:46] <thinlace> yup
[04:46] <nj786> i am trying to install a .exe file how do i install it? do i use wine file?
[04:46] <thinlace> 	Option "Composite" "Disable"
[04:46] <thinlace> 	Option "Composite" "0
[04:47] <thinlace> i have both in there, but i've had just the first one in the past
[04:47] <thinlace> i've seen examples with both
[04:47] <atoponce> how can i find out what soundcards are on my system?
[04:47] <aib_42> Henk: What I don't understand is why you're getting the "12 no such device" error...
[04:47] <thinlace> i have this as the last item in the conf Section "ServerFlags"
[04:47] <thinlace>    	Option "AIGLX" "off"
[04:47] <ShackJack> thinlace: First is fine - that's in Extensions section?
[04:47] <thinlace> yes in extensions section at the bottom, 2nd to last
[04:47] <atoponce> i have 3 (don't ask), and i want to make sure i'm using the right one
[04:47] <Henk> aib_42: neither do i :s
[04:47] <thinlace> server flags is last with option aiglx off
[04:47] <Dr_Link> OK, time for a hard shutoff.
[04:47] <atoponce> i don't know the name of the soundcard
[04:47] <pete83> !wine nj786
[04:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wine nj786 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:48] <pete83> !wine | nj786
[04:48] <ubotu> nj786: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:48] <atoponce> of which, i should open the case, and see
[04:48] <Dr_Link> I'm scared.
[04:48] <atoponce> before i do, any ideas?
[04:48] <thinlace> what about this, in section "screen" i have device "generic video card"
[04:48] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: I'm not sure what this means, but I followed another guide and now fglrx isn't working, but under restricted drivers manager it says its enabled and in use = /
[04:48] <ShackJack> thinlace: Yeah, sorry everything seems "right" -- just one of the things that irks me about computers...
[04:48] <ShackJack> thinlace: name doesn't matter...
[04:48] <Meta4ical> I should say still isn't working *
[04:48] <aib_42> Henk: did you try FIXBOOT + FIXMBR + BOOTCFG /rebuild btw?
[04:48] <HorizonXP> hey guys, how do I force update-manager to NOT update a package? Is it aptitude hold pkgname?
[04:48] <thinlace> ok
[04:48] <pawan> what is linyxmint
[04:48] <nj786> what is wine gecko?
[04:49] <thinlace> well i'll go start x again with xgl and see if i get a diagnol wipe
[04:49] <thinlace> brb ok
[04:49] <Henk> aib_42: yeah I did but I might just be trying to fix the usb drive..
[04:49] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i driver      does it say fglrx there?
[04:49] <ianweller> what is the answer to life the universe and everything?
[04:49] <ianweller> >.>
[04:49] <Dr_Link> OK, wish me luck as I restart my computer and get ready for ubuntu.
[04:49] <nevrosis> hi !! i have ubuntu 7.04 and an Asus M2V-TVM  can the 5.1 work?how?thank you!
[04:49] <Henk> since I copied the files to d: and ther appeared on my usb drive..
[04:49] <ShackJack> ianweller: 42
[04:49] <ianweller> Dr_Link: k
[04:49] <atoponce> pawan: linuxmint is just another linux distro
[04:49] <pete83> atoponce: you might learn something by typing:     sudo lshw -class multimedia
[04:49] <ianweller> ShackJack: shh, don't let the others know
[04:49] <ianweller> :D
[04:49] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: Yes .. but it also says vesa? ;o
[04:49] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: It says fglrx and vesa?
[04:49] <atoponce> pete83: thx a bunch. checking now
[04:50] <MikeVacc> Ill ask just a last time, and then I will stop.. But can Anybody help with Beryl? (#Ubuntu-effects is dead)
[04:50] <Meta4ical> when I installed the drivers they added a new line or whatever
[04:50] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: does one have a comment sign in front (pound sign)
[04:50] <ShackJack> MikeVacc: no, not here... but do you need a guide or something?
[04:50] <Meta4ical> Shackjack: nope
[04:50] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: Only one of those should be active - but to be trouthfull I forgot your issue... fglrx working then you should comment out delete vesa in xorg.conf
[04:50] <Dr_Link> Alright
[04:51] <Dr_Link> I'm running a Check CD for Defects...
[04:51] <MikeVacc> ShackJack: I've looked at most of the literature, it has to do with ovveriding the gtktree, however I would not know how to do that, and it seems that it is a 'drag and drop' problem..
[04:51] <atoponce> pete83: it's only showing 2 of the 3
[04:51] <Dr_Link> just to make sure the disk is good to go.
[04:51] <aib_42> Henk: (checking some more google results)
[04:51] <ShackJack> Dr_Link: That will take a while be patient...
[04:51] <atoponce> 2 are pci, one is on the mobo
[04:51] <nevrosis> somebody can help me please?
[04:51] <atoponce> would that make a difference?
[04:51] <pawan> what are the other various linux distro
[04:51] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: Issue was simple, the fglrx drivers aren't working on my x1550, when I reboot it goes to a black screen before the login screen
[04:51] <atoponce> pawan: google search for 'linux distros'
[04:51] <ShackJack> MikeVacc: Whew - you lost me... You should check out COmpiz Fusion instead - Beryl is the past...
[04:52] <pete83> atoponce: well, if you take off the "-class multimedia" part of that command, it will show everything
[04:52] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: but you hear login sounds?
[04:52] <MikeVacc> alrighty
[04:52] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: Nope, I even tried logging in despite being blind
[04:52] <Henk> aib_42:  alright
[04:52] <ShackJack> MikeVacc: help.ubuntu.com has good guide
[04:52] <nj786> i am using wine file to install this program that is .exe but it is asking me to install flash 8
[04:52] <MikeVacc> ShackJack: Thanks, I appreciate your help! :)
[04:52] <ianweller> nj786: maybe you should install flash 8 :D
[04:52] <nj786> ianweller: how? from where?
[04:53] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: Here's what I mean by them both being posted, http://pastebin.com/d519c6149
[04:53] <keen> shackjack i found a tutorial i'm following now, i'll let you know if it works =)
[04:53] <ianweller> nj786: the internet
[04:53] <ianweller> :)
[04:53] <atoponce> pete83: may be a bit overwhelming, i think
[04:53] <atoponce> :)
[04:53] <pete83> nj786: what is the program you are trying to install, anyways?
[04:53] <thinlace> shackjack no i don't see a checkerboard whipe, i see a solid checkboard instantly with no wipe
[04:53] <Meta4ical> oh and to give you an idea of what i've done, I finished method 1 of this guide with no success https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[04:53] <thinlace> its just there and then the desktop image loads
[04:53] <nj786> pete83: carbon poker
[04:54] <thinlace> should i do a screen grab to show you how the top is not rendered?
[04:54] <Meta4ical> and after doing method 2 it now says "in use"
[04:54] <Dr_Link> Alright, I need a tour of Ubuntu, can anyone get me an online one? *google*
[04:54] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: O.K. nevermind - doing it this way is acceptable -- using differnet identifiers, etc...
[04:54] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: I didn't do it lol :P
[04:54] <nj786> pete83: where do i find flash 8?
[04:54] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: It seems your running the fglrx driver -- what does fglrxinfo say?
[04:54] <kennyn> Hello I am new here
[04:54] <family> Hello, first time using an IRC client and IMing in general. I am in dire need of help regarding the shutdown and hibernate process. HAL has "failed", according to Ubuntu, and the shutdown screen freezes. Every time I need to shut off my computer, I have to manually power it down. :(. Unhealthy!
[04:54] <atoponce> hmmm. i think i'm going to have to rip open the box
[04:54] <ianweller> kennyn: hi
[04:54] <kennyn> i am having some major problems
[04:54] <tonyyarusso> Dr_Link: At the time of Feisty release one was posted on ubuntu.com, I'm not sure exactly where - #ubuntu-doc could likely tell you.
[04:54] <kennyn> and cant seem to figure things out
[04:54] <Dr_Link> Ah, I found it.
[04:55] <ianweller> kennyn: what is your problem
[04:55] <kennyn> i am just playing around with Apache and Ubuntu
[04:55] <niuq> hi, i am using compiz-fusion and when i start netbeans just appears a white screen and to nothing
[04:55] <niuq> any idea?
[04:55] <kennyn> i want to set up my own web server
[04:55] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: I think I see your error...
[04:55] <kennyn> everything works fine with localhost
[04:55] <atoponce> niuq: try #ubuntu-effects. better support there than here
[04:55] <kennyn> but now where do i go
[04:55] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: I posted the output on my forum post of fglrxinfo http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513607
[04:55] <kennyn> i have a domain name already purchased
[04:55] <kennyn> but from here I am stuck
[04:55] <biladigital> is this where total idiots post thier ubuntu questions?
[04:55] <atoponce> kennyn: have you setup the dns records with your domain provider?
[04:55] <biladigital> cuz as it happens im a total idiot
[04:55] <nj786> pete83: are you there?
[04:55] <kennyn> i am not sure what name servers to give them
[04:56] <dk0r> Can someone please help me install pidgin? I tried the deb from here (http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=pidgin) but i cannot find where it installed to. Help?
[04:56] <family> Hello, first time using an IRC client and IMing in general. I am in dire need of help regarding the shutdown and hibernate process. HAL has "failed", according to Ubuntu, and the shutdown screen freezes. Every time I need to shut off my computer, I have to manually power it down. :(. Unhealthy!
[04:56] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: Default Screen should be aticonfig-Screen[0] 
[04:56] <atoponce> kennyn: who did you order your domains from?
[04:56] <kennyn> godaddy
[04:56] <pete83> nj786: you know, it would be far easier to find a poker program for linux
[04:56] <kennyn> i have that
[04:56] <kennyn> and i know where to go
[04:56] <ShackJack> Meta4ical: under screen section...
[04:56] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: I actually thought that myself ;o
[04:56] <kennyn> but where do i enter my name servers into my apache server here
[04:56] <atoponce> kennyn: and have you gone through the total dns control tool?
[04:56] <kennyn> no
[04:56] <kennyn> i dont believe
[04:56] <kennyn> also let you know
[04:56] <nj786> pete83: i think i found it tell me if this would work     http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_flash_player
[04:56] <kennyn> i am behind a netgear router
[04:56] <atoponce> you don't enter your name servers in apache. you need to tell godaddy what ip to point the domains to
[04:57] <kennyn> that is the thing
[04:57] <atoponce> kennyn: and you'll need to open up port 80
[04:57] <drgonzo_> Alright, I think I tracked down the source of my USB permission problems in /etc/udev/rules.d
[04:57] <drgonzo_> # USB devices (usbfs replacement)
[04:57] <drgonzo_> SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device",		MODE="0664"
[04:57] <pete83> nj786: no, that is not what your program wants
[04:57] <kennyn> i have a isp that has dynamic ips
[04:57] <family> Hello, first time using an IRC client and IMing in general. I am in dire need of help regarding the shutdown and hibernate process. HAL has "failed", according to Ubuntu, and the shutdown screen freezes. Every time I need to shut off my computer, I have to manually power it down. :(. Unhealthy!
[04:57] <nj786> pete83: oh then...?
[04:57] <dk0r> family ! Stop spamming!
[04:57] <atoponce> kennyn: then it may be best to look into dyndns or homeip.net...
[04:57] <family> Sprry!! \
[04:57] <drgonzo_> how do I change this so ownership of USB devices is automatically assigned to my user?
[04:57] <pete83> nj786: oh wait, nevermind.... it might work, if you install it with wine
[04:57] <kennyn> set router to foward to port 80
[04:57] <family> Somebody please help? Sorry, again/
[04:57] <kennyn> i already have server listen to 80
[04:57] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: OK I'm going to reboot with the changes, wish me luck :)
[04:57] <nj786> pete83: meaning?
[04:57] <dk0r> family:  reinstall ubuntu
[04:57] <atoponce> kennyn: yeah. you'll need 80 open and pointing to the web server box
[04:58] <Dr_Link> I think I know why the screen went black earlier.
[04:58] <chrisLAbeard> is it possible to install ubuntu without burning to a dvd/cd on a ppc mac
[04:58] <aib_42> Henk: found nothing much :/
[04:58] <kennyn> ok will try
[04:58] <kennyn> give me a second
[04:58] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: yes.
[04:58] <Henk> aib_42:  so what we gonna try?
[04:58] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: with virtual pc
[04:58] <chrisLAbeard> ?
[04:58] <isxios> quick question, how do I manage the size of the icons on my desktop in Mint/Ubuntu? In CentOS I just use the filemanagement preference pane, but that is not in the Ubuntu Gnome desktop
[04:58] <Dr_Link> It was a screen dimmer.
[04:58] <Dr_Link> =)
[04:58] <kennyn> done
[04:58] <aib_42> Henk: apparently you can press TAB to see a list of options in the command prompt
[04:58] <kennyn> with the router
[04:59] <pete83> nj786: meaning give it a try... but be warned that probably nobody has ever tried CarbonPoker in WINE, so there is no guarantee that it is even possible
[04:59] <kennyn> how to i find out if i installed the dynamic dns stuff right
[04:59] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: wtf does virtual pc have to do with it ?
[04:59] <dk0r> Can someone please help me install pidgin? I tried the deb from here (http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=pidgin) but i cannot find where it installed to. Help?
[04:59] <aib_42> Henk: what happens when you type grub>     root (hd0,   and press tab?
[04:59] <biladigital> i need to install 915resolution to get my monitor to run at the right ratio. but it seems that i have to install it everytime i reboot, which is less than convenient...anyway to automatically install 915resolution on startup?
[04:59] <Andy249> I got a problem, I just installed ubuntu, and I made all of my second HD(200gb) to "/" file disk
[04:59] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: oh sorry i want to try and install it without having to boot up
[04:59] <Andy249> So I cant create any folders what so ever there
[04:59] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: just stay in os x
[04:59] <Dr_Link> Anyone here know what language Ubuntu is programmed in?
[04:59] <atoponce> kennyn: you need to setup an account with a dynamic dns provider, like homeip.net
[04:59] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: thats ridiculous
[04:59] <kennyn> is it free
[05:00] <kennyn> or i can find a free one
[05:00] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: haha sorry tell me the other way im open
[05:00] <penguinistakc> Any249: You can create folders there, you just have to be root
[05:00] <atoponce> kennyn: they're all free
[05:00] <Henk> aib_42:  just gives me a normal tab
[05:00] <kennyn> ok
[05:00] <atoponce> afaik
[05:00] <kennyn> give me a second will set one up
[05:00] <bulmer> Dr_Link: the core part is in C
[05:00] <Dr_Link> I KNEW IT
[05:00] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: why cant u burn a disc?
[05:00] <pete83> Dr_Link: most coding is done in English
[05:00] <Andy249> And how do I be root? >.<
[05:00] <atoponce> kennyn: i gotta run
[05:00] <|rt|> hey guys I'm trying to install feisty using the alternative installer cd and it's hanging when trying to detect my network card....any ideas to get around this?
[05:00] <Dr_Link> every OS is in C these days...
[05:00] <Dr_Link> I am learning C++. :(
[05:00] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: im at a beach house with no cd/dvds
[05:00] <dk0r> |rt|: unplug your nic
[05:00] <Dr_Link> Of course...
[05:00] <kennyn> i hope there is someone else that can help me here
[05:00] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: and just wanted to try it if its not possible i can just wait
[05:00] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: haha! awesome!
[05:00] <atoponce> Dr_Link: kde is programmed in c++
[05:00] <penguinistakc> Andy249 sudo mkdir /dirname
[05:00] <aib_42> Henk: maybe you should be at the command line after you boot
[05:00] <|rt|> dk0r: ok I'll give that a try
[05:01] <aib_42> Henk: you said you had a laptop?
[05:01] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: i believe you can do  a network install
[05:01] <biladigital> lol, its like a ubuntu moshpit in here.
[05:01] <dk0r> |rt|: is it a onboard?
[05:01] <atoponce> Dr_Link: depends on what you want to contribute to
[05:01] <Henk> aib_42: yep got vista on it
[05:01] <dk0r> an*
[05:01] <penguinistakc> But if you are looking for folders for your personal files, create them in your home directory. You don't have to be root for that -- /home/username
[05:01] <Dr_Link> the reason I am getting Ubuntu (well, one reason) is so I can compile my C++ programs under a Linux environment.
[05:01] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: awww i need another computer
[05:01] <dk0r> chris... what?
[05:01] <atoponce> the kernel, a window managor, or software packages
[05:01] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: why ?
[05:01] <aib_42> Henk: got MSN or google talk?
[05:01] <Andy249> Thats only for creating folders tho?
[05:01] <Henk> msn
[05:01] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: ohh i thought network would mean i need another computer
[05:01] <pete83> Dr_Link: oh, you mean PROGRAMMING language... Ubuntu is a collection of various programs, written in whatever the programmer wanted to use.... a lot use c, C++, and there is a fast growing amount written in Python and even c# with mono
[05:01] <Dr_Link> Then i can put 'em on upload.com so they will appear on download.com and they will be awesomely compatible.
[05:02] <|rt|> dk0r: yes it's an nforce2 chipset
[05:02] <Dr_Link> Eww, C#
[05:02] <Andy249> kk
[05:02] <aib_42> Henk: http://pastebin.com/d65942088
[05:02] <Andy249> question
[05:02] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: you sound like the kind of guy who should just stay on osx
[05:02] <daaku> anyone know what these lines mean in auth.log: Jul 29 06:47:58 hostname CRON[10429] : (pam_unix) session open/closed for user root
[05:02] <Andy249> How do I un install ubuntu
[05:02] <dk0r> |rt|: hrm. well it should be well supported. installing feisty?
[05:02] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: yeah im very new to linux i have it on 2 pcs at home but doing things with macs is pretty different
[05:02] <Henk> aib_42: ill start it and add u
[05:02] <|rt|> dk0r: works with the live cd installer
[05:02] <aib_42> kk
[05:02] <aib_42> brb
[05:02] <Henk> k
[05:02] <spartanz> hello spartanz!!
[05:02] <dk0r> |rt|: but not the alt huh ?
[05:02] <penguinistakc> Andy249: The only way you uninstall Ubuntu is to delete it from your drive. The easiest way to do that is just to repartition
[05:02] <pete83> Dr_Link: lol, I agree with you on C#.   Do you want to program GUI programs?
[05:03] <dk0r> |rt|:  are you comparing the same versions of ubuntu on both the liv and alt installs?
[05:03] <Jason_D> can anyone help me with beryl
[05:03] <|rt|> dk0r: yeah both 7.04
[05:03] <Dr_Link> Well, actually, I prefer making console programs
[05:03] <Andy249> penguinistakc: And to repartion I do? =)
[05:03] <Dr_Link> but I'm trying to pick up on GUI coding in C++...
[05:03] <dk0r> Jason_d goto #compiz-fusion for IMMEDIATE help w/ anything beryl/compiz related
[05:03] <|rt|> dk0r: i can disable the onboard network in the bios if that gets me past installation
[05:03] <dk0r> |rt|: naturally but.. hrm
[05:04] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: I still recieved a black screen, but I didn't change the aticonfig line back "Default Screen" and it still worked when I went back to vesa
[05:04] <Dr_Link> eventually, when I'm acquainted with C++ Win32 coding, I'll start learning Linux GUI coding.
[05:04] <dk0r> |rt|: what kind of error are you given ?
[05:04] <penguinistakc> Andy249: The easy way to repartition is to insert the Ubuntu Live CD in your cd-rom, boot it up, and then open a terminal. In the terminal, run cfdisk /dev/yourdrivehere
[05:04] <Andy249> Question is; How do I repartition in ubuntu
[05:04] <kennyn> ok i have registred for an account with DynDNS
[05:04] <|rt|> dk0r: no error...just hangs
[05:04] <Pie-rate> There needs to be a bootloader configureing program in ubuntu. it could just be really simple, just able to move items up and down, so that lusers can make Windows the default if they want to.
[05:04] <Andy249> ty
[05:04] <pete83> Dr_Link: ok, well if you want cross-platform GUI's for c++, you need to look into QT or gtkmm.. and make the tough choice
[05:04] <kennyn> but i dont want to pay for name servers
[05:04] <kennyn> any idea on how to set my own
[05:04] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: you can humor me if you want w/ the network install
[05:04] <Dr_Link> meh
[05:04] <Dr_Link> most of my stuff is console based...
[05:04] <|rt|> dk0r: i even opened another terminal and tailed the log
[05:04] <penguinistakc> Andy249 You can't repartition while the drive you want to partition ismounted
[05:04] <dk0r> chrisLAbeard: Stay on osx.
[05:04] <chrisLAbeard> dk0r: aww come on man
[05:04] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: and Restricted Drivers Manager now says "Not in use" again
[05:04] <dk0r> |rt|: it just sits there?
[05:04] <Andy249> k
[05:04] <biladigital> i'll be patient
[05:05] <daaku> kennyn: you can get one of the free domains - or pay to use their dns services
[05:05] <Andy249> So I'll un-mount it first
[05:05] <|rt|> dk0r: and is unresponsive
[05:05] <Dr_Link> and I am going to be installing XChat onto my Ubuntu-enabled computer first thing, so I can sign on and start getting results.
[05:05] <kennyn> i have a domain already
[05:05] <Rogerio> ola
[05:05] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: ZoneEdit
[05:05] <dk0r> |rt|: you check the md5 of the install?
[05:05] <|rt|> dk0r: have to hard power cycle it to get it to come back around
[05:05] <kennyn> what is ZoneEdit
[05:05] <Getnikar> Anyone know how to install via netboot and then install from something on the LAN. I got the netboot part working (bootpd + tftp) , just need help on installing over the LAN.
[05:05] <keen> shackjack, i found the answer!
[05:05] <Rogerio> ola
[05:05] <dk0r> |rt|: did you do the checksum
[05:05] <dk0r> ?
[05:05] <kennyn> i told you I am a newbee
[05:05] <|rt|> dk0r: i'll tell it to check the disk
[05:05] <pete83> Dr_Link: that's certainly nicer.. by the way, the channel here called ##C++  (that is with two #'s) is really great
[05:05] <dk0r> |rt|:  no no.
[05:05] <Dr_Link> I was on it earlier before XChat crashed.
[05:06] <dk0r> |rt|: the md5 info hash. Your alt install should of came with an md5 file.
[05:06] <Dr_Link> And I hope there is something similar to Ctrl+Alt+Delete in Ubuntu...
[05:06] <|rt|> dk0r: ok i'll check the md5 of the iso
[05:06] <dk0r> |rt|: yes.
[05:06] <Meta4ical> ShackJack: Are you there?
[05:06] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: free :)  zoneedit.com, I bought my domain through them, but you don't have to, and just tell what IP to send stuff to through the web interface.
[05:06] <kennyn> k that is the thing
[05:06] <kennyn> i have a isp that has dynamc ips
[05:06] <dk0r> tonyyarusso: you can also use free services. noip, etc.
[05:06] <kennyn> how do i know what IP address to give them
[05:06] <pete83> Dr_Link: you can set up your ctrl-alt-del binding to do whatever you want... I have mine open the system monitor, kind of like Windows XP
[05:06] <penguinistakc> Pie-rate Just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:07] <Dr_Link> Oooh!
[05:07] <Dr_Link> Ubuntu sounds/looks so fun!
[05:07] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: i KNOW how to change the bootloader
[05:07] <tupa> how is find used?, I want to find all files named wizard.png (already read the man, did find / wizard.png, but it echoes all files in my system)
[05:07] <ianweller> Dr_Link: did the live cd boot?
[05:07] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: From wherever your site is?
[05:07] <ianweller> ehe i just about typed lice cd
[05:07] <Dr_Link> ianweller: In the process.
[05:07] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: there should be a GUI tool for it, though.
[05:07] <kennyn> k like i said i am newbee
[05:07] <|rt|> dk0r: check cd seems to be doinig md5sum on all the deb files on the cd
[05:07] <kennyn> i am just confused
[05:07] <kennyn> i installed apache2, php, and so on
[05:07] <penguinistakc> Getnikar: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation/Netboot
[05:07] <kennyn> on a box here at home
[05:08] <Dr_Link> I ran an integrity check on the CD this time, ianweller. No problems...
[05:08] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: not for my benefit, i'd still edit the config. your average luser, however, does not edit the config, and laughs in your face and switches back to windows if you ask him to.
[05:08] <kennyn> I have a static ip set to my box through the router of 192.168.0.7
[05:08] <penguinistakc> Pie-rate: I can see your point. There isn't one in windows, either -- you have to manually edit the boot files
[05:09] <youknowme> how do I set up a randomly changing desktop picture?
[05:09] <|rt|> dk0r: md5 checks out
[05:09] <dk0r> |rt|: piss.
[05:09] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: so? "oh windows doesn't have it... why bother with innovative features if they don't clone windows"
[05:09] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: :)
[05:09] <dk0r> |rt|: idk how that will work disabling it for install.. and then enabling after.
[05:09] <|rt|> dk0r: can i use the live cd installer and then convert the boot and / over to md raid 1 after the fact?
[05:09] <dk0r> youre using raid?
[05:10] <bean-oh> is there a tried and true way to do wireless bridging from the host with virtualbox?
[05:10] <|rt|> if i remember correctly the md raid 1 metadata is at the end of the partitions
[05:10] <|rt|> dk0r: not yet....i would like to
[05:10] <DShepherd> the new frostwire doesn't seem to want to accept input from my keyboard. anyone else have this problem?
[05:10] <biladigital> i need to install 915resolution to get my monitor to run at the right ratio. but it seems that i have to install it everytime i reboot, which is less than convenient...anyway to automatically install 915resolution on startup?
[05:10] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: there should be a system->administration->edit boot menu
[05:10] <dk0r> |rt|: so whatr u on about raid1 metadata?
[05:10] <penguinistakc> Pie-rate: Touche. However, I think editing menu.lst is not something one wants a "luser" to do under any circumstances, gui or not.
[05:10] <kennyn> ok anyone there can help me
[05:11] <kennyn> i have signed up for ZOneEdit
[05:11] <|rt|> dk0r: but I'll try disabling the NIC and going with the alternative
[05:11] <kennyn> and added my domain
[05:11] <pete83> youknowme: install the package "wallpaper-tray"
[05:11] <|rt|> dk0r: the cd's self check checked out too
[05:11] <dk0r> |rt|: why you using alt anyways?
[05:11] <|rt|> dk0r: so i can install on a md device
[05:11] <Pie-rate> penguinistakc: if said "luser" has set up ubuntu with the "resize partition and use free space" method, and wants to put Windows at the top of the menu, then they should be able to.
[05:11] <dk0r> MD?
[05:11] <penguinistakc> Pie-rate: Not necessarily because of loyalty to one OS or the other, but because the risk of mutilating ones MBR is greater than the potential benefits of easily changing the default.
[05:11] <dk0r> minidisc?
[05:11] <|rt|> dk0r: software raid
[05:11] <biladigital> edit the boot menu...hmm... sure as hell dont know how to do that...google here i come

[05:12] <Dr_Link> what does this stuff mean?
[05:13] <dk0r> |rt|: its supported tho ?
[05:13] <Dr_Link> It has killed three processes due to memory loss so far...
[05:13] <|rt|> dk0r: I want the OS parition to be RAID1 and my DATA (LVM) to be RAID5
[05:13] <keen> i want to make a partion for file storage, where should i set the mount point?
[05:13] <Dr_Link> and now I just see a blinking cursor underneath all of this stuff.
[05:13] <|rt|> dk0r: yes
[05:13] <Dr_Link> The computer is idling.
[05:13] <Dr_Link> Should I just switch it off and call it a night?
[05:13] <dk0r> |rt|: do you use other distros?
[05:14] <|rt|> dk0r: i have in the past but i've been using ubuntu for about a year now
[05:14] <DShepherd> ok..never mind my question ^^ it just started working now.. weird though
[05:14] <keen> anyone?
[05:14] <Dr_Link> ...hello?
[05:14] <dk0r> sIm thinking about sabayon
[05:14] <|rt|> dk0r: maybe it's been about 2 years on ubuntu....started with dapper
[05:14] <orbisvicis> anyone recommend a good mic ?
[05:14] <kennyn> Ok my name servers have now been changed to zoneedit name servers
[05:14] <Zeno> Hello.
[05:14] <kennyn> is that all i have to do
[05:14] <aib_42> Henk: still there?
[05:14] <dk0r> |rt|: tried sabayon?
[05:14] <orbisvicis> cheap, usb/3.5 mm mic
[05:15] <dk0r> gentoo or deb?
[05:15] <kennyn> or is there something in the apache files i need to change
[05:15] <orbisvicis> alsa/linux compatible
[05:15] <|rt|> dk0r: disabling the NIC seemed to get me past that hang
[05:15] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: you have to set up zoneedit to forward to the IP, but otherwise yes
[05:15] <keen> or does it not matter???
[05:15] <reflous> any of you guys use google desktop for ubuntu? (is it any good?)
[05:15] <|rt|> dk0r: sabayon is a distro?
[05:15] <Dr_Link> the computer is idle.
[05:15] <Dr_Link> After killing 3 processes.
[05:15] <dk0r> http://sabayonlinux.org
[05:15] <kennyn> i am sorry tony but what IP are you talking about
[05:15] <Dr_Link> Should I just switch it off?
[05:15] <Dr_Link> (this is during startup)
[05:15] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: The IP of the box at home, where the traffic has to end up.
[05:15] <kennyn> i am so new it is pituful
[05:15] <kennyn> ok that is where i am a bit confused
[05:15] <dk0r> |rt|: how do you think ubuntu will handle the nic when it see's it after installation ?
[05:16] <kennyn> it never asked me for an ip
[05:16] <kennyn> that is zoneedit
[05:16] <|rt|> dk0r: just gotta load the module....shouldn't be a problem
[05:16] <keen> i'm installing fresh and want to make a second partition for storage, where should i mount the drive and what file system should i use?
[05:16] <Dr_Link> . The CD drive just unmounted itself, I just heard the "click' sound.
[05:16] <dk0r> |rt|: will it even recognize it ?
[05:16] <Dr_Link> Yep, time to call it a night.

[05:16] <kennyn> and i am not sure how to tell what my ip is because i have an Internet service provider
[05:16] <dk0r> |rt|: is there a ui for that type of thing?
[05:16] <Henk> aib_42: yeah had some probs with the laptop but its up and running now
[05:16] <kennyn> that uses dynamic IPS
[05:16] <|rt|> dk0r: a ui for loading a module?
[05:16] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: The "IP addresses" tab, you just said your IP, no?
[05:16] <chris__> guys, I Cant seem to enable desktop effects, the screen goes white. And when I install the GLX nvidia driver. A popup appears saying I cannot use desktop effects (or something like that) what can I Do?

[05:17] <bluekoala> Did you install the 64 bit version?
[05:17] <tonyyarusso> kennyn: ah, dynamic's less fun.  you could do a cloaked forward to something like dyndns then...
[05:17] <kennyn> yeah that is an IP that my router is giving it
[05:17] <chris__> 64 bit bersion of what ?
[05:17] <Dr_Link> Well, it appears Windows will reboot just fine if there's ever a screwup with startup on Ubuntu.
[05:17] <Dr_Link> ....aiiiigh.
[05:17] <|rt|> dk0r: ah....well linux is pretty good about autoloading modules that it needs
[05:17] <kennyn> ok i am pretty sure i set that up
[05:17] <bluekoala> Ubuntu
[05:17] <dk0r> |rt\ what irc client you using ?
[05:17] <Zeno> Is there a Tk channel on this server that I can get more specific help?
[05:17] <Dr_Link> I'm so scared of this setup, "I screwed up when partitioning so I had to reformat!"
[05:17] <|rt|> dk0r: so there's a chance that if I enable the NIC and reboot it will just work
[05:17] <chris__> hm, dont know

[05:24] <aib_42> Henk: added you..
[05:24] <mzmaker05> 7.4
[05:25] <Dr_willis> franky123,  gnome has a feature/vnc option that lets it control the 'local/seen' desktop
[05:25] <Dr_willis> but i never use it. :) its slow.
[05:25] <Dr_willis> for me at least
[05:25] <mzmaker05> yeah I use gnome too is the shit
[05:25] <mzmaker05> I was tempted by kubuntu
[05:25] <Nutubuntu> !ohmy
[05:25] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:25] <rodserling> My volume works, but it's way too loud and i can't adjust it so it's more quiet, anything suggestions?
[05:26] <aib_42> Henk: man, does MSN suck
[05:26] <franky123> Dr_willis: How do I enable that? And the remote machine is running XFCE. Will that still work or do I need gnome on the other machine?
[05:26] <Henk> aib_42: apparantly it does :p
[05:26] <Dr_willis> franky123,  no idea. ive seen it.. i never use it. :) the remote box will run vncviewer of some kind.. to get to the  vnc-serving box.
[05:26] <sal002> ARe there more recent kernel debs for ubuntu AMD64?  I want to try a later kvm
[05:26] <Dr_willis> or was that the other way.. :)

[05:32] <pete83> bruenig, Ubuntu is a seriously slick ship
[05:32] <asdf> ^^ how is that using enter as punctuation?
[05:32] <bruenig> pernballz, ubuntu's documentation is scattered across the tubes on blogs

[05:33] <mzmaker05> asdf did u fix it>
[05:33] <pete83> asdf: did you check your 7.04 CD for errors
[05:33] <mzmaker05> ?
[05:33] <guitarplayer1071> i would make sure your speakers are plugged in
[05:33] <asdf> no how do I do that
[05:33] <bruenig> pernballz, have you had any hardware problems?

[05:34] <File13> Hi, my audio was working fine but when i booted into my XP partition and came back onto my Ubuntu partition my sound doesnt work
[05:34] <bruenig> !alsa | File13
[05:34] <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
[05:34] <pete83> asdf: yeah, but it's worth trying
[05:34] <Dr_willis> File13,  try powering off. and booting straight to linux.
[05:34] <Lilacor> my sound died about a week ago...
[05:34] <bruenig> File13, your alsa levels probably didn't get saved
[05:35] <Dr_willis> what bruenig  said also. :)
[05:35] <Meta4ical> Could anyone help me configure my graphics card to work with fglrx? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3106882#post3106882

[05:35] <File13> Then if that doesnt work i can try other thigns
[05:35] <asdf> yea i know pete
[05:35] <Pie-rat1> the driver for my printer isn't included in ubuntu and i can't find a .PPD file for it

[05:35] <fsckr> is there a way to get rid of someone that is using a proxy?  Everytime I kick them he gets right back on.
[05:36] <asdf> thats not why I'd laugh... I've been here int he OFFICIAL support chan for 2 days now, and no one has been able to help me with ANY of my problems
[05:36] <Meta4ical> pete83: Correct ;p
[05:36] <mzmaker05> ubotu, please help, I want to install programs, every time I try I get same error
[05:36] <mzmaker05> It says that I need to do it manually
[05:36] <pete83> asdf, well the only OFFICIAL support is the pad canonical support... this is "community"
[05:36] <bruenig> asdf, your problems are hardware problems, hardware docs are fairly scarce, especially hardware docs on things that are *supposed* to work automagically
[05:36] <pete83> asdf, pad=paid
[05:37] <RyukZilla> ShackJack: ar u still in here?
[05:37] <Dr_willis> when in doubt load the modules manually. :)
[05:37] <Dr_willis> ive seen lots of little odd issues with differnet machines and linux in the past..
[05:37] <asdf> well, if you read the topic, I'm pretty sure it says OFFICIAL ubuntu support channel.
[05:37] <mzmaker05> here Im going to put the error maybe somebody can help
[05:37] <mzmaker05> or suggest
[05:37] <asdf> so if tihs isn't the OFFICIAL support, someone needs to change the topic./
[05:37] <bruenig> official as in, if you see any other ubuntu channels on irc, those aren't
[05:37] <pete83> Meta4ical: OK... um can you paste it to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/

[05:38] <Meta4ical> pete83: Paste what?
[05:38] <bruenig> in the same way that ubuntuforums.org is official
[05:38] <bruenig> it is the official forums
[05:38] <pete83> asdf, good point, I never read that... still, it's true
[05:38] <Dr_willis> vs ##ubuntu which would be unofficial
[05:38] <asdf> it did the same thing
[05:38] <pete83> Meta4ical: your xorg.conf
[05:38] <asdf> check cd for defects
[05:38] <asdf> started loading the live cd and went straight to the shell
[05:38] <Meta4ical> pete83: Oh I added it to my forum post?
[05:38] <bruenig> mmmm shell
[05:38] <|rt|> is it possible to convert a regular partition into a raid 1 volume after the fact?
[05:38] <asdf> /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[05:39] <|rt|> the alternative installer locked up on me again
[05:39] <Dr_willis> I had a odd machine, ubuntu dident isntall, kubuntu cd did. both fiesty.. MintLinux also worked.  but xubuntu dident.
[05:39] <Dr_willis> asdf,  thats the exact error i saw on some of those cd's
[05:39] <bruenig> xubuntu is highly questionable
[05:39] <pete83> Meta4ical: the other one has line numbers though.
[05:39] <Meta4ical> oh
[05:39] <bruenig> no one ever tests it
[05:39] <Stuart_99> Hi everyone, I have a bit of a problem...my laptop's wifi is operational with the bcm43xx driver, however my connection is VERY SLOW (as in 93kbps) slow compared to when I run Windows on the same laptop and get 2500 kbps speeds.  What can I do to fix my laptop's wireless?
[05:39] <Dr_willis> Never did figure out what casued that.
[05:39] <pete83> Meta4ical: then I can tell you what line number to change
[05:39] <asdf> Dr_willis... ubuntu has been installed ont his pc in the past.
[05:39] <Meta4ical> pete83: Ok one moment please
[05:39] <asdf> Fully working ubuntu... now it won't even load the live cd
[05:40] <Dr_willis> asdf,  same version? same cd?  Im thinking thers some oddities in how some of the iso files are getting made.
[05:40] <asdf> yea
[05:40] <asdf> yesterday I was using the same cd
[05:40] <asdf> same EXACT setup
[05:40] <bruenig> hardware failure?
[05:40] <asdf> and it wouldn't load network or sound
[05:40] <Meta4ical> Pete83: Here ya go, http://pastebin.com/d62bdedf
[05:40] <asdf> now I downloaded 7.04 since EVERYONE here told me to
[05:40] <asdf> and now 7.04 wont even load
[05:40] <Dr_willis> i have noticed that once in a great while. some usb gizmos plugged in - confuse the boot/installers.
[05:40] <File13> I rebooted and the sound issue is still there
[05:40] <chalcedony> i'm looking for some ideas for different software to use to make some notes for different help channel scripts. for channels i help in. if someone were a mirc user they could be popups /alias files, but i can't  do that with xchat,
[05:41] <pete83> Meta4ical:   ok, change line 156 to:       Device   "Generic Video Card"
[05:41] <Stuart_99> Can anyone help me? I have a bit of a problem...my laptop's wifi is operational with the bcm43xx driver, however my connection is VERY SLOW (as in 93kbps) slow compared to when I run Windows on the same laptop and get 2500 kbps speeds.  What can I do to fix my laptop's wireless?
[05:41] <bruenig> chalcedony, you mean things that will print faq answers
[05:42] <asdf> After reading the MANY replies and posts in this thread so far, it's clear that the error message in the subject line can occur for MANY different specific reasons. What all of these reasons seem to have in common is that the new 2.6.20-15 kernel used by Fiesty chokes when it encounters hardware or combinations of hardware that its boot-up routines aren't coded to handle properly. When it chokes, it almost always spits out that error messag
[05:42] <asdf> sry thats so long
[05:42] <Meta4ical> pete83: done
[05:42] <chalcedony> bruenig: or something that will just let me copy paste the right stuff for the right channel and time.
[05:42] <RyukZilla> Meta4ical: will u answer me a question >o<?
[05:43] <Stuart_99> Does anyone know how to fix my wireless problem?
[05:43] <Meta4ical> RyukZilla: Of course
[05:43] <pete83> Meta4ical:   ok so either reset your xserver, or reset the whole computer (might be more reliable, not sure)
[05:43] <File13> Someone mentioned something about the ALSA settings not being saved but in my sound prefs all my volume sliders are on max
[05:43] <bruenig> chalcedony, I am not quite sure even what you are talking about, I do know that you can write bash scripts that echo something and then use /exec -o, that is a pretty basic and easy to do thing
[05:43] <chalcedony> i have too many things in gnome multi tab/vim windows already
[05:43] <aRasin> anybody know howto setup "Video-Mirroring" like windows does?
[05:43] <Meta4ical> pete83: ctrl / alt / backspace to reset?
[05:44] <chalcedony> bruenig: hmmmm
[05:44] <RyukZilla> Meta4ical: >o< which will u use if u were a newbiew and u wanted to learn ur way to linux? Fedora Core or Ubuntu?
[05:44] <Dr_willis> asdf,  if thats the  case i wonder if an older (beta?) cd with a older kernel would work for you
[05:44] <pete83> Meta4ical:   yes, to reset the xserver
[05:44] <chemturion> hey there, so im having some trouble with synapatic package manager
[05:44] <Truman_> Does anyone know where I might configure the font size that Firefox uses to display my bookmarks?
[05:44] <bruenig> asdf, try another distro, one that isn't so automagic, because when automagic fails in ubuntu, unless you already know how to do it, you are going to have a hard time fixing it
[05:44] <blanky> hey do you guys think if a format a partition to ext3, I could share it somehow and on my windows box on the same LAN, access it using ext3 drivers?
[05:44] <blanky> and write/read to/from it ?
[05:45] <Meta4ical> RyukZIlla: I AM a returning newbie, and have gone through literally 50 distrubutions, that's not an exagerration
[05:45] <blanky> how would I go about doing that anyways, sharing a partition
[05:45] <Meta4ical> and although Fedora looked pretty, nautilus broke a lot even when I didn't do anything = /
[05:45] <blanky> anyone?
[05:45] <Truman_> Blanky:  You'd probably have to put the driver on every machine .. but I'd think it'd work
[05:45] <Meta4ical> I'm also finding the documentation on Ubuntu easier to read -- actual made for humans
[05:45] <chemturion> when i launch synaptic i get a message telling me that i need to manually run "dpkg --configure -a" which when i do i get the skype user agreement which I can't accept, so I cant complete the command so that I cant use the package manager
[05:45] <blanky> Truman_: think wont cut it, thanks anyways though, do you know how I'd go about sharing a partition?
[05:45] <blanky> would I need samba or something?
[05:46] <RyukZilla> Meta4ical: >o< so Ubuntus will be ur choise?
[05:46] <blanky> so, I would like to share a FAT32 partition on the LAN so my windows PCs can access write/to it
[05:46] <lostchild> Anyone here specialize in bizarre graphics problems?
[05:46] <Truman_> blanky: Once you install that driver, the ext3 drive shows up just like any other drive .. you'd just right click>properties>sharing
[05:46] <bruenig> chemturion, I recommend manually running dpkg --configure -a
[05:46] <aRasin> anybody know howto setup "Video-Mirroring" like windows does?
[05:46] <Truman_> blanky: You could always try it first; be a hell of a lot easier if it works, and you don't lose anything if it doesn't
[05:47] <blanky> Truman_: uh, no not what I meant. On a linux only box, I will format a partition to ext3, then I want to shared that partition somehow so that my windows boxes on the LAN can access it, the windows boxes will have ext3 drivers so I could read the partition
[05:47] <blanky> so I guess my only real problem is figuring out how to share a whole partition, or a directory I guess
[05:47] <chemturion> bruenig:Yeah I do that, then I get skype trying to install and it gives me a user agreement that I can't accept, i try hitting return dosnt work, so I'm stuck
[05:47] <Truman_> blanky: Oh, I'm sorry .. I thought you meant from windows.  My bad.
[05:47] <bruenig> chemturion, hit tab
[05:47] <pete83> chemturion: to get rid of the bad package, type: sudo dpkg -P packagename
[05:47] <blanky> Truman_: it's alright
[05:47] <chemturion> pete83: thanks
[05:47] <chemturion> bruenig: thanks
[05:48] <bruenig> tab moves between fields and buttons in 99% of apps
[05:48] <chemturion> thanks tab worked!
[05:48] <aRasin> anybody know howto setup "Video-Mirroring" like windows does?

[05:58] <yiyok1> Hi, I'm having a serious problem while running world of warcraft with ubuntu.
[05:58] <chalcedony> i looked at the idea of bash scripting but i don't think i can do this, i'm a mother, i just want to be able to help people, and for that i  need something more robust than sticy notes.
[05:58] <aRasin> i dunno,, why im asking :)
[05:58] <yiyok1> The lag is just unbearable and I've tweaked it in almost any way possible
[05:58] <Truman_> aRasin:  You could make some sort of bash script to switch the name on two files, so you could have xorg.conf and whatever .. dunno about restarting x, tho; probably
[05:59] <pete83> Meta4ical: ok... I think I'll edit it and post a new modification, ok?
[05:59] <wastedfluid> hi guys. openvz is running off fedeora.. imaging ubuntu 6.06.. the time on the fedeora clock is right, but on the ubuntu6.06LTS image, it's 3 hours off.. any way I can change this? you can't ntpdate on an imaged ubuntu.
[06:00] <Nutubuntu> Well, if I understand how xorg.conf works -- which maybe I don't -- then not probably. AFAIK It's read when X starts. (Or restarts.)
[06:00] <Meta4ical> pete83: sure, thanks a lot btw
[06:00] <yiyok1> Hi, I'm having a serious problem while Running world of warcraft with ubuntu. The lag is unbearable and I've tweaked it in almost every way possible.

[06:01] <pete83> Meta4ical: also, out of curiosity, what card model is it?

[06:02] <brandoman043> any suggestions
[06:02] <likpok> brandoman043: If so, you could try iptables -F
[06:02] <likpok> as root
[06:02] <likpok> (so sudo)
[06:02] <brandoman043> right
[06:02] <likpok> that should flush the current tables
[06:02] <likpok> if that's the problem
[06:03] <brandoman043> any other suggestions before i reboot
[06:03] <brandoman043> how might i check to see if http is blocked
[06:03] <brandoman043> its on port 80 no?
[06:03] <likpok> check to see if the modules are loaded?
[06:03] <brandoman043> ok
[06:03] <likpok> you could try to telnet to a port where you have something running
[06:04] <rodserling> your isp could block incoming port 80
[06:04] <brandoman043> i just dont understand why i can ping websites but not actually get them to load in a browser
[06:04] <mudit> my ubuntu is 32 bit .. so y is thr code for 64 bit machine in /usr/include/  ...  any ideas?

[06:06] <jamesz> Hi, before Im going to install ubuntu (feisty fawn), the message pop-ups from system tray and this is the screenshot I took: http://scrapshells.com/~james/srd.png .. DO you think this is no problem and be continune for installation? Anyone?
[06:06] <wastedfluid> does anyone know how to fix an clock(ubuntu 6.06LTS) that's off?  I can't use ntpdate, because it's imaged from openvz..
[06:06] <mudit> the /usr/include has both folders asm-i386   and   asm-x86_64    folders
[06:06] <pete83> Meta4ical: still there?
[06:06] <likpok> jamez what that means
[06:06] <likpok> is that there is no open source driver for your wireless card
[06:06] <Meta4ical> pete83: Yeah, sorry I was reading the forums
[06:06] <jamesz> likpok: read the message in the screenshot
[06:06] <likpok> However, there is a propriety driver
[06:07] <File13> How do i tell if i have a bluetooth device inside my laptop, it doesnt show on windows but on ubuntu sometimes i see a bluetooth module listed
[06:07] <likpok> your card should work
[06:07] <jamesz> likpok: okay, but is it good?

[06:07] <Meta4ical> pete83: Ok ;p

[06:12] <jamesz> CompIsMyRx: What should I do?
[06:12] <CompIsMyRx> yiyok1: have you tried running the game with the -opengl switch?
[06:13] <|rt|> is it possible to install to an MD device from the live cd?  I installed mdadm and that brought my raid volumes up but the paritioner doesn't seem to look for md devices
[06:13] <Truman_> mzmaker05: try sudo dpkg --configure -a
[06:13] <yiyok1> CompIsMyRx:  Erm, I edited the config.wtf of the game and put in set opengl.
[06:13] <pete83> Meta4ical: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3108368
[06:13] <CompIsMyRx> yiyok1: do you have the correct drivers for your card?
[06:13] <yiyok1> CompIsMyRx: Yes.
[06:14] <CompIsMyRx> yiyok1: the proprietary ones?
[06:14] <yiyok1> CompIsMyRx:  ??
[06:14] <Meta4ical> pete83: A guide specifically said turn composite off since fglrx doesn't support it? Section "Extensions"
[06:14] <Meta4ical> 	Option "Composite" "0"
[06:14] <Meta4ical> or should it be like that?
[06:14] <Nutubuntu> |rt|: I think you'll need the alternative CD to install a RAID, that or the minimal cd
[06:14] <CompIsMyRx> yiyok1: as in nvidia-glx or fglrx (ATI)
[06:14] <Evilbadwrong> How do I change my default window manager back to Metacity? ALT+F2 doesn't work....
[06:14] <Vsop_vsop_vsop_v> whats a good dvd ripping software?
[06:14] <Meta4ical> pete83: that's how the config was by default
[06:14] <yiyok1> CompIsMyRx:  Erm, my card is onboard.
[06:14] <Meta4ical> pete83: the composite part sorry *
[06:15] <CompIsMyRx> yiyok1: Is it intel, nvidia, or ati?
[06:15] <pete83> Meta4ical: um.. so you are looking at my modified version?
[06:15] <yiyok1> CompIsMyRx:  ATI
[06:15] <Meta4ical> pete83: and then this said disable it, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[06:15] <Meta4ical> pete83: Yeah
[06:15] <CompIsMyRx> yiyok1: then you need the fglrx driver
[06:15] <xof7> How can I get the dev package for openssl? I cant find an install or a package for it
[06:15] <yiyok1> CompIsMyRx:  Which I can get How? :D
[06:15] <Meta4ical> I'm just wondering why this was put back to default though? Option "Composite" "0"
[06:15] <CompIsMyRx> !fglrx | yiyok1
[06:15] <ubotu> yiyok1: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:15] <pete83> Meta4ical: yeah, so anyways, backup your old xorg.conf, and try my new one
[06:15] <Evilbadwrong> I've lost all the titlebars on my windows....
[06:16] <yiyok1> CompIsMyRx:  I put that in the terminal, right?
[06:16] <xof7> thats a feature
[06:16] <Meta4ical> oh you missed my messages lol
[06:16] <yiyok1> CompIsMyRx:  X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContext

[06:16] <yiyok1>   Minor opcode of failed request:  5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)

[06:16] <yiyok1>   Current serial number in output stream:  15
[06:16] <Evilbadwrong> That's not a feature I want.
[06:16] <xof7> lol
[06:16] <pete83> Meta4ical: um, because it doesn't work with composite, so it might not crash as much with this option
[06:16] <ajax4> Hey guys. Everytime I put in a cd/dvd gnome brings up Nautilus and displays its contents. How can I turn this off?
[06:16] <CompIsMyRx> yiyok1: ?
[06:16] <the_cyber_guy> hi all :-)
[06:16] <Evilbadwrong> How do I change it back? Someone help me, please?
[06:16] <Meta4ical> pete83: that was the default option when I tried with method 1 ;o
[06:16] <Vsop_vsop_vsop_v> is there a progy to burn dvds?
[06:16] <yiyok1> CompIsMyRx:  Those are my results after putting that command in the terminal.
[06:17] <Meta4ical> and 0 references the monitor doesn't it? so doesn't that keep it enabled?
[06:17] <pete83> Meta4ical: yeah, but maybe other things have changed
[06:17] <CompIsMyRx> yiyok1: no, you are supposed to follow the link the bot sent you with your name in it to install the drivers
[06:17] <ajax4> Vsop_vsop_vsop_v: Use the built-in Gnome CD/DVD burner.

[06:19] <CompIsMyRx> Evilbadwrong: depends, if you want xfce or KDE, it's easier than switching to rox, fluxbox, or enlightenment

[06:26] <jamesdell> pete83: i see.. but when I put my SSID and WEP key, it doesnt work..

[06:26] <brand0con> HelpMe open it with the archive manager and find the install file

[06:28] <CompIsMyRx> jamesdell: also, I found the opensource driver for your card: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/
[06:28] <bruenig> thinh, you need to edit it as root
[06:29] <Evilbadwrong> How do I change my window manager?
[06:29] <jamesdell> CompIsMyRx: I did follow up that before but got more errors during compilatiion
[06:29] <dhemmon> Evil
[06:29] <thinh> how do i login as root?
[06:29] <CompIsMyRx> jamesdell: you need alot of -dev packages
[06:29] <Evilbadwrong> Yes, Dhemmon?
[06:29] <Nutubuntu> !root
[06:29] <dhemmon> what window manager do you have?
[06:29] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[06:29] <thinh> su?
[06:29] <HelpMe> Hello, can somebody PLEAS help me install this game called DOFUS?   I downloaded it but i have no idea how to install it.  Any help would be awesome

[06:30] <Evilbadwrong> I had tried to install Compiz Fusion....and the tutorial said to make it my default window manager. But nothing worked, so I uninstalled it. Now alt+F2 doesn't work for me to change it back to Metacity.
[06:30] <thinh> huh
[06:30] <HelpMe> Anyone wana help me here?
[06:30] <thinh> what u mean
[06:30] <bruenig> thinh, Nutubuntu just did that
[06:30] <mzmaker05> dpkg --configure -a
[06:30] <CompIsMyRx> jamesdell: the packages needed for things to be compiled. You usually have to install them separately from the packages used to normally run things
[06:31] <mzmaker05> nothing happens
[06:31] <Evilbadwrong> Any ideas, dhemmon?
[06:31] <bruenig> mzmaker05, was there an error?
[06:31] <dhemmon> sorry Evil, i can't help you with that...
[06:31] <jamesdell> CompIsMyRx: okay, what packagename is it listed in synaptic or in repo?

[06:33] <rudy> hi
[06:33] <bruenig> Evilbadwrong, were you messing around with beryl or compiz
[06:33] <rudy> i want try linuk
[06:33] <Evilbadwrong> Yes, Bruenig.
[06:33] <Meta4ical> pete83: Black screen again, I had to revert to my old xorg.conf to boot back in
[06:33] <bruenig> Evilbadwrong, do you want to use that or did you want to use metacity, it really is up to you
[06:34] <jamesdell> CompIsMyRx: yeah I have, that is what Im doing to modify the wireless. After I'd input WEP key, SSID, etc.. it doesnt work.. no DHCP ip address giving.. message comes out "connection timed out: disconnect. You are now connected on wire connection.."...
[06:34] <pete83> Meta4ical: no error messages?
[06:34] <thinh> how you fix a file that is read- only file system?
[06:34] <Evilbadwrong> bruenig: I want to use Metacity. I couldn't get Compiz or Beryl to work....
[06:34] <CompIsMyRx> jamesdell: sorry I don't know how to fix that :(
[06:34] <ABC123> what file system?>
[06:34] <bruenig> thinh, fstab is not on a read only file system
[06:34] <Meta4ical> pete83: Nope, it boots up as usual and then just as it would normally reach the login screen a completely black screen
[06:34] <thinh> i messed up in my fstab
[06:35] <ABC123> why is it on a read only file system?
[06:35] <Felarin> thinh : just set it to defaults
[06:35] <Felarin> should be fine
[06:35] <sleep_> quit
[06:35] <thinh> i accident change the root partion
[06:35] <Felarin> if it's an ntfs file system, you need to apt-get install ntfs-3g
[06:35] <Felarin> then edit the fstab.
[06:35] <thinh> i try to change it using sudo
[06:35] <jamesdell> CompIsMyRx: lot's of people reported that it's working on their end, but mine is still doesnt. anyway thanks for help :)
[06:35] <thinh> but i cant edit it
[06:35] <Evilbadwrong> bruenig: when I hit alt+f4, nothing happens, so I can't edit my window manager and change it back to metacity.
[06:35] <bruenig> thinh, what command are you using
[06:35] <CompIsMyRx> Evilbadwrong: alt+f2
[06:35] <thinh> sudo pico fstab
[06:35] <bruenig> Evilbadwrong, just run "metacity"
[06:36] <CompIsMyRx> make that metacity --replace
[06:36] <Evilbadwrong> How, Bruenig?
[06:36] <bruenig> in terminal, in vc, I don't care
[06:36] <rodserling> does anyone have a problem with their ati card, and the fglrx driver freezing up on them in taxing programs

[06:36] <pete83> Meta4ical: what do you get for businfo with the command: "sudo lshw -class display"
[06:36] <Evilbadwrong> THANK YOU, BRUENIG!!!
[06:36] <thinh> is there another way to get to it?
[06:36] <X45NET> haloo
[06:36] <dhemmon> its not normal rodserling, did you try to install ati official drivers with envy?
[06:36] <X45NET> hola

[06:37] <rodserling> ill look into it
[06:37] <thinh> i used sudo and when i try to save it it says read-only file system so i cant change it
[06:37] <Meta4ical> pete83: it showed me display 0 and display 1, i'm assuming that's because my video card supports dual display .. anyways i got "bus info: pci@03:00.0"
[06:37] <dk0r> when i have sessions manager call up fusion/awn @ startup, is there any way to hide the terminal thats opened in the process ??
[06:37] <bruenig> thinh, paste the command you used
[06:37] <dhemmon> fist, change your driver to vesa, restart, unistall all fglrx drivers, then download envy
[06:38] <thinh> i use sudo pico fstab to edit it
[06:38] <Meta4ical> ENVY!
[06:38] <pete83> Meta4ical: for both of them?
[06:38] <thinh> i know what i change that messed up
[06:38] <bruenig> dk0r, why is a terminal opened when you run those things?
[06:38] <dhemmon> and reinstall ati drivers with envy

[06:38] <dk0r> automatically, before the desktop is even loaded.
[06:39] <thinh> reinstall u mean?
[06:39] <bruenig> no, mount it in the live cd, and edit it

[06:44] <pete83> Meta4ical: I made a slight change to the file, if you want to try again... in the Device section, I removed your two options
[06:44] <Meta4ical> k i'll try anything
[06:44] <dhemmon> right button in any flash, and you can access to security options...
[06:44] <kclemons82> yes i have a dhcp modem i cant get it to conect to
[06:44] <kclemons82> or transmit i guess
[06:45] <thinh> yeah i am doing it right now

[06:45] <thinh> what the command for mounting ext3
[06:45] <dhemmon> sudo mount device
[06:45] <fiXXXerMet> Just installed fluxbox from apt-get...  I don't see any programs for browsing my disk - what can I use?
[06:45] <thinh> i mean the ext3 option
[06:45] <dhemmon> the livecd automaticaly detect ext3 partitions, just double click and is mounted
[06:45] <bruenig> fiXXXerMet, fluxbox is a windows manager, you can use any program that exists to browse your disk
[06:46] <bruenig> a window manager has no effect on that
[06:46] <fiXXXerMet> bruenig: What does gnome use,then?
[06:46] <clu3l3ss> i'm having a bit of a problem with the nvidia restricted legacy drivers - they load and enable, but i only have two low-res settings to choose from.  ive checked the xorg.conf file, and all of the higher resolutions seem to be listed under all of the color depths. help?
[06:46] <thinh> i dont see it on the desktop or in nautilus
[06:46] <Meta4ical> pete83: Thanks pete, I'm rebooting now
[06:46] <CompIsMyRx> fiXXXerMet: gnome uses nautilus
[06:46] <bruenig> fiXXXerMet, I don't know, I am not even sure what you mean by browse your disk, do you mean filesystem or what
[06:46] <clu3l3ss> the monitor is recognized in the conf file correctly as well.
[06:46] <pete83> Meta4ical: *crosses fingers
[06:46] <dhemmon> uhm... try my places
[06:46] <pike_> clu3l3ss: what model monitor?
[06:47] <clu3l3ss> benq 241w
[06:47] <kclemons82> pike what info do you need
[06:48] <CompIsMyRx> clu3l3ss: have you tried nvidia-xconfig?
[06:48] <pike_> kclemons82: i guess i didnt understand. youre trying to connect to a router that uses dhcp?
[06:48] <dhemmon> thinh try in any nautilus window put this in bar: computer:///
[06:48] <kclemons82> pike: no straight to the modem
[06:48] <dhemmon> SORRY MY BAD ENGLISH!!! :)
[06:48] <yurimxpxman> what audio codec would I use in VLC to create a wav file?
[06:48] <thinh> i got it manually mounted it hopefully it will start now
[06:49] <CompIsMyRx> yurimxpxman: pcm probably
[06:49] <dhemmon> you create wavs with vcl?
[06:49] <pike_> clu3l3ss: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf     then scroll to the horiz and vert number and replace em with Horizontal Fresh Rate, 31-81 kHz. Vertical Fresh Rate, 56-76 Hz
[06:49] <CompIsMyRx> dhemmon: you can if you want to rip the sound only
[06:49] <pike_> clu3l3ss: then save and alt-ctrl-backspace
[06:49] <clu3l3ss> CompIsMyRx: installing now.  i tried nvidias-settings, but it complained my driver was too old (legacy, old card)
[06:49] <matt56> anyone using beryl with ubuntu?
[06:49] <dhemmon> nice feature... thanks CompIsMyRx
[06:50] <Vuen> how do i determine the size of a folder and all its contents from the command line?
[06:50] <pike_> kclemons82: i dont have any exp with pppoe and related stuff sorry
[06:50] <thinh> brb
[06:50] <kclemons82> cool
[06:50] <CompIsMyRx> clu3l3ss: just run sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals
[06:50] <yurimxpxman> CompIsMyRx: that's not an option
[06:50] <kclemons82> anyone know how to connect stright to a cable modem?
[06:51] <thinh> i am trying to install ext hd using ext3
[06:51] <thinh> after i format with ext3 it is read-only
[06:51] <CompIsMyRx> yurimxpxman: go to preferences >> audio and change output module to file
[06:51] <dk0r> i applied a new png for firefox's icon, and it looks pretty small.
[06:51] <dhemmon> thinh, I really dont understand what is your problem...
[06:52] <bruenig> thinh, what it is mounted as is a mount option, it will only be read only if you mount it read only
[06:52] <dk0r> How do I change the size?
[06:52] <Meta4ical> pete83: Black screen, reverted to my old xorg.conf :p
[06:52] <bruenig> applied?
[06:52] <CompIsMyRx> dk0r: right click it and select strech icon
[06:52] <bruenig> what does that mean
[06:52] <thinh> my mtab looks like thins
[06:52] <thinh> this

[06:53] <pete83> Meta4ical: doh
[06:53] <bruenig> thinh, just mount it with defaults
[06:53] <CompIsMyRx> dk0r: where are you trying to change the icon size, on the Desktop?
[06:53] <Meta4ical> pete83: hm?
[06:53] <dk0r> on my AWN dock
[06:53] <thinh> what the full string?
[06:53] <CompIsMyRx> dk0r: oh, I don't know how to do that in AWN.
[06:54] <dhemmon> /dev/sdb1 /media/disk-1 ext3 defaults 0 0
[06:54] <Meta4ical> i right clicked my icon and have the option ;o
[06:54] <clu3l3ss> pike_: aha!  no vert or horiz settings in there now. i'll have to look up a sample to see how to put those in, or should i run the nvidia-xconfig?
[06:54] <clu3l3ss> CompIsMyRx: thanks m8
[06:54] <dk0r> Anyone know how to stretch/skew icons in awn docks?
[06:54] <pike_> clu3l3ss: id run nvidia-xconfig i guess but i normally go back and put my monitors specific settings. im just picky that way

[06:55] <bruenig> someone doesn't know about tab complete it appears
[06:55] <DavidCraft> how do I change the name of a server
[06:55] <DavidCraft> ?
[06:55] <tupa> how can I install Ubuntu Server from a USB card?
[06:55] <pete83> Meta4ical: maybe try the other pci busid?
[06:56] <pete83> scottDkoDer: like maybe rosegarden?
[06:56] <bruenig> thinh, mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mount/point
[06:56] <CompIsMyRx> tupa: from a USB stick, or to one?
[06:56] <Meta4ical> pete83: isn't that for my 2nd non-existant monitor though?
[06:56] <LinuxProbie> java.com says my java plugin is out of date. how do I update it?
[06:56] <pike_> DavidCraft: the hostname command like sudo hostname something  but make sure it is reflected in /etc/hosts what i mean is 127.0.0.1   something  is a line in that file first

[06:56] <pete83> Meta4ical: well, I just thought since the screen was black for this busid, maybe they are reversed.. you know I am just brainstorming at this point
[06:56] <LinuxProbie> and the java 6 plugin
[06:56] <bruenig> LinuxProbie, then don't worry about it
[06:56] <HelpM1>  I need help.  I need to know how to get to the flash player security settings
[06:56] <CompIsMyRx> tupa: is it in .iso form or is it ready to go when you boot up from a usb stick?
[06:57] <Agip> is xmms2 being developed for gutsy?
[06:57] <bruenig> Agip, no
[06:57] <Meta4ical> pete83: lol oh
[06:57] <thinh> /dev/sdb1 /media/disk ext3 rw 0 0
[06:57] <tupa> CompIsMyRx, I don't have any iso, I'm asking what do I need to do, I only have a PC and a USB Stick
[06:57] <thinh> that mtab but still i cant edit it
[06:57] <scottDkoDer> pete83: Looks hot!
[06:57] <thinh> i cant read or write to my ext hd
[06:57] <Meta4ical> pete83: I'm going out on a new limb and thinking that's not it, because I tried to enter my password/name at the black screen anyways and i got no sound or anything
[06:58] <scottDkoDer> pete83: How did you first hear about it?
[06:58] <LinuxProbie> bruenig, there's a site I like to go to that I keep getting a java execption when I try to use the chat interface
[06:58] <bruenig> thinh, you should be able to
[06:58] <Meta4ical> leading me to assume that even if it did have the wrong monitor, shouldn't it still accept keyboard input?
[06:58] <bruenig> LinuxProbie, alright
[06:58] <pike_> thinh: as root? gksu gedit ??
[06:58] <Agip> bruenig: oh man that sucks
[06:59] <bruenig> Agip, xmms2 isn't developed for any distribution in particular
[06:59] <pete83> scottDkoDer: if you want to try rosegarden, before it will work you need to set up Timidity++ as a midi server. Here is a guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[06:59] <Neozonz> Does the Ubuntu Live cd come with LVM support?
[06:59] <thinh> i dont know why but i cant use my ext hd just read only
[06:59] <CompIsMyRx> tupa: I'm figure out what you mean by that. If you just have a USB stick with all the files on it that you would need to boot the system. Try booting your computer from the USB stick by selecting it in your BIOS
[06:59] <clu3l3ss> CompIsMyRx: nvidia-xconfig isn't taking that argument.  reading the man page, but don't see --add listed.
[06:59] <Agip> bruenig: but it can't be installed on ubuntu yet
[06:59] <thinh> there is a lost+found folder in there
[06:59] <scottDkoDer> pete83: Thanks for the tips.
[06:59] <bruenig> Agip, sure it can, go get the source and compile it
[06:59] <tupa> CompIsMyRx, ok, I have windows, and a usb stick, what do I need to download/do, do you have any good tutorial?
[07:00] <bruenig> Agip, a distribution is nothing more than a bundling of applications
[07:00] <tupa> CompIsMyRx I want to install ubuntu on my PC not on the stick, but from the stick
 what do you want to do??
[07:00] <CompIsMyRx> tupa: so you want to put the install CD onto a USB stick basically?
[07:00] <Neozonz> Anyone know if the Live CD comes with LVM support?
 install Ubuntu from a usb key, my CD-Drive is broken
[07:00] <Meta4ical> pete83: Thanks for the effort, I guess I'll sit tight and wait for someone to reply to the forum post. Would you perhaps mind helping me install WINE? ;o
[07:00] <scottDkoDer> whoa
[07:00] <CompIsMyRx> clu3l3ss: you don't need that option unless you want to run Beryl/Compiz Fusion
[07:01] <pete83> Meta4ical: hahahahaaaha
[07:01] <scottDkoDer> never booted from a stick
[07:01] <thinh> hmm it still say owner root
[07:01] <Neozonz> thanks...
[07:01] <Meta4ical> pete83: is that a no? ;o lol
[07:01] <pike_> tupa:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[07:01] <pike_> tupa: might get you started
[07:02] <Agip> bruenig: already tried 2 times but it didn't worked
[07:02] <thinh> used gparted to create the ext hd, does that have any effect?
[07:02] <CompIsMyRx> tupa: it's actually pretty hard to do. You have to format the stick, run syslinux on it, then install the LiveCD iso to the USB disk.
[07:02] <clu3l3ss> CompIsMyRx: if i just run it without argument, it says it's using the xorg.conf file, makes a backup, and then dumps me back to the prompt.
[07:02] <drgonzo_> I've managed to screw up my Feisty install, can I just reinstall over the old screwed install?
[07:03] <Geminias> lol poop
[07:03] <File13> It wont hurt anything if i install a kubuntu application on ubuntu will it
[07:03] <pete83> Meta4ical: nah, wine is one of those things I stay away from... I use all linux software
[07:03] <Meta4ical> lol
[07:03] <Geminias> !LVM

[07:04] <File13> Does it matter if i install a kubuntu application under ubuntu?
[07:04] <Agip> File13: no
[07:04] <CompIsMyRx> clu3l3ss: yes. Then you have to restart the X server by hitting Ctrl+ALT+Backspace
[07:05] <Shrimpy_> File13 it should work fine, maybe a little slowe but fine
[07:05] <Agip> File13: I use ktorrent and acetone iso under ubuntu
[07:05] <File13> Alrighty, because for a bluetooth tutorial it says to use konquor which is the kubuntu file browser
[07:06] <File13> Theirs no way i could switch the ubuntu browser to the konq by default could i? i quite like the layout of it
[07:06] <Agip> File13: don't know that
[07:07] <Agip> File13: but you can use it as your browser
[07:07] <|Zippo|> somebody use s-video port with ubuntu?
[07:07] <blanky> hey guys I formatted a drive as ext3 using gnome partition editor, (a slave/secondary drive) and then I couldn't access it, upon reboot it automounted but it seems to be root only permissions, how do I fix this?
[07:07] <blanky> someone please?
[07:07] <pete83> Meta4ical: ok, one last thing... type this, and say the output...:  "/bin/lspci | grep VGA"
[07:07] <pike_> File13: you can install and use nautilus but konq is so much a part of kde i dont know about changing default
[07:07] <Agip> File13: or you could switch to kubuntu
[07:07] <Meta4ical> pete83: Here ;p 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 715f
[07:07] <Phydoux> blanky, Login as root and change the permissions...
[07:08] <File13> nah, ill just stick with this ive vested to much in getting this working lol
[07:08] <blanky> Phydoux: log in as root...?
[07:08] <pete83> Meta4ical: that's all it says?
[07:08] <pike_> File13: got your question backwards nm
[07:08] <blanky> Phydoux: wouldn't I first have to enable the root account? I'm sure there's another way
[07:08] <Meta4ical> pete83: Yeah, just that one line
[07:08] <pete83> Meta4ical: ok then, dead end
[07:08] <blanky> how would I change the permissions through the terminal, so that I could simply prepend sudo
[07:08] <clu3l3ss> CompIsMyRx: it restarts, but the monitor info is still missing in xorg.conf (modeline, horz, vert)
[07:08] <cyanact> hello, how can i start xmms into a GUI from a shell/bash script?
[07:08] <Phydoux> blanky, you should have setup a root account on the install.
[07:09] <bruenig> xmms
[07:09] <Meta4ical> pete83 lol
[07:09] <drgonzo_> can I install Feisty over an old, broken install of feisty without any problems?
[07:09] <zerokill88> how do i run ubuntu with no gui?
[07:09] <pike_> blanky: sudo chown $USER:$USER /media/whatever ??
[07:09] <pike_> blanky: chown -R i mean
[07:09] <cyanact> zerokill88: no
[07:09] <blanky> pike_: so if it's a whole drive then...?
[07:09] <zerokill88> cyanact why not
[07:09] <CompIsMyRx> clu3l3ss: really? ugh. That means the old standard sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will have to occur. It can be nasty If you don't know the answers to the questions
[07:09] <cyanact> i have a gui but i want to start it in :0
[07:09] <blanky> Phydoux: uh...no
[07:09] <bruenig> drgonzo_, you don't install things on top of others, you would format the entire drive, so sure
[07:09] <cyanact> zerokill88: i suppose i could but i need xmms because it has a plugin i use
[07:09] <drgonzo_> hmm
[07:09] <blanky> pike_: because I formatted a secondary drive as ext3 but when it automounts its as root, so i want to lower the permissions
[07:09] <thinh> anyone know what to do with ext hd that doesnt allow me to write to it
[07:09] <zerokill88> cyanact what are you talking about?
[07:10] <blanky> and I wnat to make it available to anyone
[07:10] <blanky> how would I go about doing that?
[07:10] <clu3l3ss> CompIsMyRx: hehe, yup, i started down that path and canceled out.  i'll give it another go.
[07:10] <CompIsMyRx> clu3l3ss: run this command "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" and answer the questions as best you can
[07:10] <cyanact> zerokill88: my bad, never mind thought you were answering my question
[07:10] <pike_> blanky: ext3 will preserve its own perm so youd just mount it and chown whatever dirs you want. i dont know of another way with umask and stuff with ext3 in fstab dont think its possible
[07:11] <blanky> pike_: well...that sucks
[07:11] <drgonzo_> bruenig, alright so when I reinstall does the ubuntu installer format the drive?
[07:11] <blanky> how come it's not the same with my primary drive then
[07:11] <zerokill88> cyanact lol its cool anyway the command is init3 in terminal
[07:12] <prabs> good morning guys
[07:12] <bruenig> drgonzo_, yeah... I have always manually fixed the partition, and when  you do that, you realize they are formatted, I guess when you go the automatic hide everything from me because I prefer to be ignorant way, it isn't as apparent
[07:12] <punsad> what is the 'standard' MTA for ubuntu.  I remember for debian, it was exim4 (for sarge)
[07:12] <drgonzo_> heh
[07:12] <Meta4ical> Pete83: Thanks for the help, I appreciate it
[07:12] <pike_> blanky: once it is done once thats it just chown it or in file manager right click on it and in properties i guess
[07:12] <pete83> Meta4ical: did you ever use the firegl-control program?
[07:12] <prabs> ive got compiz, kiba-dock, conky installed, i was wondering if there is anything left that is as cool as them eye candies? :)
[07:12] <Meta4ical> pete83: Nope
[07:13] <pete83> Meta4ical: heh. You might try it.. in the package fglrx-control ... and the program is run by the command firegl-control
[07:13] <prabs> im so hungry to get more of such stuff
[07:14] <pete83> Meta4ical: actually, without a hyphen
[07:14] <punsad> prabs: I used to feel that way... but then realized it's all just a waste of time (for me atleast)
[07:14] <blanky> pike_: yeah right click wont work, i mean, i cant change its properties
[07:14] <prabs> i like to waste time :)
[07:14] <zerokill88> while in terminal mode with no GUI, what is the xchat you download
[07:14] <punsad> prabs: me too!
[07:14] <bruenig> what is the xchat you download?
[07:14] <blanky> hey guys if I added an extra HD, what's the best way to format it in ext3 so i could use it, what program should I use?
[07:14] <bruenig> what the hell does that mean
[07:15] <rodserling> i uninstalled my ati-fglrx drivers with ENVY and my computer still freezes/hangs when i play a demanding 3d fps game
[07:15] <prabs> punsad: lol :) so anything else u might want to suggest?
[07:15] <k1gwb> Good evening everyone. I'd like my Ubuntu box to be a WAP/router. It is already the default gateway and dhcp network for my wireless and wired network, but I have a wireless router with dhcp disabled acting as the wap. I have a wireless card working in the Ubuntu bo and want to bridge the nextwork with it and set it up to be an access point. How do I go about doing that?  Is that ad-hoc?
[07:15] <rodserling> could my ati card be getting too hot?
[07:15] <Truman_> Did anyone see that article on iptables on digg?  Does anyone know if the same can be applied to HTTP if you just switch the port to 80?  (Article: http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/block_brute_force_attacks_with_iptables/)
[07:15] <pete83> Meta4ical: and one other thing, I put a billion options in the xorg.conf file, which has a remote chance of working (see it at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3108368 ).. other than that, I have to go, and good luck
[07:15] <Phydoux> blanky, You have to do it as root. I dont know how you installed Ubuntu but I did the same thing and had to change the permissions as root...
[07:16] <zerokill88> Whats the textmode XCHAT called?
[07:16] <bruenig> zerokill88, xchat doesn't have a text mode
[07:16] <bruenig> pidgin does
[07:16] <Phydoux> zerdith, Bitchx?
[07:16] <blanky> zerokill88: irssi
[07:16] <blanky> Phydoux: well I don't have a root account heh
[07:16] <bruenig> zerokill88, oh you mean text mode irc client
[07:16] <blanky> I'm using feisty
[07:16] <zerokill88> bruenig yes sorry
[07:16] <Phydoux> Me too
[07:17] <zerokill88> blanky so its irssi
[07:17] <blanky> zerokill88: no, it's a good one though
[07:17] <rodserling> is there a good terminal irc?
[07:17] <blanky> theres no text mode xchat
[07:17] <blanky> rodserling: irssi
[07:17] <Meta4ical> pete83: AH I viewed that thread :P
[07:17] <pike_> blanky: gksu nautilus&  if ya want to launch your file manager as root so you can edit it
[07:17] <omoore> woot woot .. ubutnu on a mac mini
[07:17] <zerokill88> blanky oh ok
[07:17] <rodserling> thanks
[07:17] <k1gwb> I have another question too. Have two computers, networked. both have sound cards, only one has speakers. An y way to make a virtual sound card of some sort on the 2nd computer that sends the sound over the network and makes the other computer play it?
[07:17] <omoore> wireless-n-all :) (ok.. maybe i'm a bit too happy)
[07:17] <blanky> pike_: sweet thanks man
[07:17] <punsad> prabs: ha!  there was something called Skydome I heard someone blathering on about 'skydome'
[07:17] <Geminias> what do i use to decompress a .rar archive?
[07:17] <Geminias> i thought file-roller handled .rar but it is saying invalid format :S
[07:17] <pete83> Meta4ical: ah, ok then goodnight
[07:18] <Geminias> !.rar
[07:18] <ubotu> 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
[07:18] <omoore> these lill mac mini's rock tho.. esp now that i have my trusty Linux on it :D
[07:18] <cyanact> is there any way to start XMMS into a GUI from ssh?
[07:18] <prabs> punsad: cool! ima google it now
[07:18] <omoore> cyanact.. if you are connecting to a linux box from a linux box (ie, X11 client on client pc)...
[07:18] <omoore> cyanact: you can do ...
[07:18] <clu3l3ss> pike_: thanks for the hand, i've got it working.
[07:18] <Meta4ical> Could anyone help me install wine? Is their a guide I can follow? MY googling and ubuntuforums.org attempts failed
[07:18] <punsad> cyanact: is there a -display switch?
[07:19] <cyanact> omoore: no not like that, this is for a car PC so need it on a startup bash script
[07:19] <rodserling> meta, you try synaptic pkg
[07:19] <rodserling> ?
[07:19] <zerokill98> blanky im in irrsi :)
[07:19] <cyanact> irssi rules
[07:19] <Frogzoo> !wine | Meta4ical be sure to enable the budgetdedicated repo
[07:19] <prabs> punsad: thats a cube thing, im not a big fan of cube desktops :s
[07:19] <ubotu> Meta4ical be sure to enable the budgetdedicated repo: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[07:19] <omoore> cyanact: ahh
[07:19] <punsad> zerokill98: are you asking what sort of irc clients there are for terminal mode?
[07:19] <omoore> cyanact: you mean in the .bashrc   ?
[07:20] <cyanact> omoore: got it, `xmms --display :0` works
[07:20] <blanky> pike_: what should I set the permissions to
[07:20] <punsad> prabs: neither am i
[07:20] <blanky> pike_: I mean, what should I change them to, from root, I want it so ANYONE can write/edit and stuff, what user would that be?
[07:20] <blanky> there's one called nobody, but there isnt one called anybody haha
[07:20] <zerokill98> punsad yes i was, blanky showed me irrsi and thats what im using right now. do you know of any others? especially ones where they have the servers listed already
[07:21] <Phydoux> pike_, Thats a slick littlew command!
[07:21] <punsad> zerokill98: bitchx is what I use.  Somehow I got the impression it's the 'standard' irc client for debian (i'm an ex debian user)
[07:21] <zerokill98> punsad ive heard of it, i always thought it was a server like apache. out of curiousity why are you a ex debian?
[07:22] <Phydoux> blanky, It might be user
[07:22] <cafuego> punsad: not so much, irssi is (it has less annoying quit messages)
[07:22] <blanky> Phydoux: okay thanks
[07:22] <slowz3r> has anyone had experience with installing meta sploit or is there a repository
[07:22] <punsad> zerokill98: I'm actually a terrible person to give advice on irc clients.  all I do is type dialogue.. sometimes do a '/msg'... nothing fancy
[07:22] <blanky> okay guys I don't know much simpler I can get, if I added an extra drive, what's the best way to format it with ext3 so I can use it??
[07:22] <Meta4ical> OK thanks for the link, finished installing. I have a .msi here, not a .exe, is their an argument I put in to run it? or is it just    wine  blabla.msi
[07:22] <ianmcorvidae> blanky: I'd use gparted.
[07:22] <zerokill98> punsad ya im the same way.what distro you using now
[07:23] <bruenig> blanky, mkfs.ext3
[07:23] <blanky> ianmcorvidae: that's what I used, but then when it finished and automounted I couldn't write to it?!
[07:23] <blanky> bruenig: ^
[07:23] <pike_> blanky: ive not used gnome or nautilus in a while so not sure of the gui but you  need to add read 'r' at least. if you ls -l /media  youll see on the very left the perms you can add the r in the gui or you can sudo chmod +r /media/whatever also.
[07:23] <ianmcorvidae> blanky: No idea.
[07:23] <punsad> zerokill98: actually - it was with great reluctance that I switched from debian to ubuntu... but my funds are limited, my server crashed, and the only spare box I had was a laptop which requires proprietary drivers.  debian is kind of a pain for non-free drivers if you have to get them working at initial installation
[07:23] <bruenig> blanky, that doesn't affect whether you can write to it
[07:24] <blanky> bruenig: well, I don't know what happened but I can't, it's owned by root
[07:24] <bruenig> blanky, mkfs.ext3 just formats it ext3, it is how you mount it that affects whether it can be written to
[07:24] <thinh> thanks for all the help guys i finally got my ext hd to work
[07:24] <bruenig> of course it is owned by root, you created it with root
[07:24] <blanky> bruenig: I used gparted actually, ohhh so it's how it's mounted that affects it?
[07:24] <bruenig> gparted uses root
[07:24] <bruenig> hence the password you have to type
[07:24] <thinh> i changed the ownership of /dev/sdb1 and /media/disk to get to work
[07:24] <punsad> zerokill98: I keep hearing that ubuntu 'is basically debian' - so I'm trying to go along with it
[07:24] <rodserling> i tried ./configuring the irssi source, but it's telling me "install ncurses-devel package"?
[07:25] <blanky> bruenig: oh okay so if I use mkfs.ext3, then i can write to it?!
[07:25] <bruenig> thinh, you should change the owner ship of /dev/sdb1
[07:25] <bruenig> blanky, no
[07:25] <blanky> thanks bruenig !!! I've been wondering that the whole time!
[07:25] <blanky> oh ... -_-
[07:25] <blanky> look, I just wish I could do it as I do in windows, add a drive, format it as NTFS, and use it
[07:25] <bruenig> thinh, you shouldn't*
[07:25] <zerokill98> punsad probably the best distro out i beleive. in all my linux magazines it sounds like they are getting pretty big
[07:25] <blanky> what is the equivalent on linux with ext3
[07:25] <blanky> bruenig: ?
[07:25] <thinh> huh
[07:25] <bruenig> blanky, it has to do with permissions, not with how you create it
[07:25] <thinh> i am a little confuse
[07:26] <bruenig> thinh, you shouldn't mess with the permissions of /dev stuff
[07:26] <blanky> bruenig: okay so what should I do?
[07:26] <thinh> oh
[07:26] <rodserling> nevermind, got the lib file
[07:26] <thinh> but i dont know how to get to work
[07:26] <blanky> bruenig: I didn't change the permissions, it's automount or whatever
[07:26] <bruenig> blanky, where is it mounted
[07:26] <blanky> bruenig: /media/disk
[07:26] <blanky> it was automounted by ubunt
[07:26] <bruenig> blanky, can you do sudo touch /media/disk
[07:26] <blanky> sure
[07:26] <bruenig> blanky, can you do sudo touch /media/disk/file
[07:27] <slowz3r> does anyone know if htere is a repository that has metasploit
[07:27] <blanky> hello
[07:27] <thinh> i works no by changing the ownership of dev/sdb1
[07:27] <rodserling> how can i make a launcher/launch command icon on my desktop for a .sh file
[07:27] <blanky> bruenig: /media/disk/file ?
[07:27] <Frogzoo> blanky: gparted, then add an entry to /etc/fstab
[07:27] <blanky> bruenig: I don't have any files on it yet
[07:27] <bruenig> blanky, yes run the second command
[07:27] <blanky> Frogzoo: oh, how, please?
[07:27] <blanky> bruenig: no output
[07:27] <rodserling> whenever i try it, nothing executes
[07:27] <dfgas> is there a program i can make a catalog of my dvds in buy just inserting them into the drive?
[07:27] <bruenig> blanky, ok so it isn't read only
[07:27] <blanky> Frogzoo: I mean, what should I do as the line in fstab
[07:27] <Frogzoo> blanky: google around
[07:27] <bruenig> blanky, you need just to chown whatever files on their to the write owner
[07:28] <blanky> *sigh* as I haven't done that, thanks anyways
[07:28] <bruenig> blanky, chown -R username:username /media/disk will do it
[07:28] <zerokill98> hol cow how do you exit bitchx
[07:28] <blanky> bruenig: THANKS!
[07:28] <blanky> I really appreciate
[07:28] <zerokill98> nm
[07:28] <bruenig> right*
[07:28] <punsad> zerokill98 (/quit)
[07:28] <blanky> bruenig: would there be any chance that I could make it be anyone? not just a specific user?
[07:28] <blanky> or would I have to choose another FS for that
[07:28] <punsad> oh.. just saw the 'nm'
[07:29] <clu3l3ss> pike_: well that's odd - i have the higher resolution desktop now, but anything 3d doesn't run, i.e. screen savers, tux racer, tux cart..  just doesn't come up.
[07:29] <bruenig> blanky, it can only be owned by one person and one group, you can give universal permissions to everyone though
[07:29] <bruenig> blanky, chmod 777 -R /media/disk
[07:29] <Sonjeev> can anybody help me with a text install
[07:29] <Myrtti> clu3l3ss: resolution has nothing to do with if you've got 3d acceleration on or not
[07:29] <Sonjeev> ?
[07:29] <blanky> bruenig: it works now, thanks!!
[07:29] <punsad> Sonjeev: what's your question?
[07:29] <thinh> i should be okey to change the permission now and then change the dev/sdb1 back to root again right?
[07:29] <blanky> bruenig: okay thanks, so that will give universal permissions to everyone?
[07:30] <Sonjeev> OK, well i am using the alternate cd to install because i have an ati video card
[07:30] <thinh> its is a ext hd share drive for backup
[07:30] <bruenig> blanky, right, at least for stuff already there
[07:30] <blanky> bruenig: thanks I really really appreciate it
[07:30] <pike_> clu3l3ss: might want to pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[07:30] <Sonjeev> i installed properly, and am now booting into recovery mode so i can get a script because i cant use x
[07:30] <bruenig> blanky, the way it is setup before the chmod 777, would make it behave just like your home directory, that is probably the best way to do it
[07:30] <blanky> bruenig: oh okay, but the previous command gives me the user permission for anything right, not just the files that were already there
[07:30] <Sonjeev> but, i cant download fglrx drivers, cuz my ethernet doesnt work
[07:30] <Sonjeev> how do i set up ethernet from cmd line?
[07:30] <r3d> I got a question if anyone can help me on installing a new update of Mozilla Firefox through my Ubuntu 7.04 machine
[07:30] <blanky> bruenig: I see, thanks, I honestly do appreciate the help
[07:31] <fraser17> hi. for some reason i can easily connect to the internet from the livecd but not from the installation. can anyone help me?
[07:31] <zerokill98> *ha
[07:31] <punsad> Sonjeev: is your adapter module installed?
[07:31] <Sonjeev> how do i check that
[07:31] <punsad> Sonjeev: ifconfig
[07:31] <Sonjeev> if i do ifconfig -a, i see eth0
[07:32] <bruenig> !anyone | r3d
[07:32] <ubotu> r3d: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:32] <Sonjeev> but, if i just do ifconfig only loopback shows up
[07:32] <r3d> my bad
[07:32] <bruenig> Sonjeev, sudo ifconfig eth0 up && sudo dhclient eth0
[07:32] <punsad> Sonjeev: try ifconfig eth0 up
[07:32] <fraser17> for some reason, i am able to ping google, but firefox desn't let me connect to it
[07:32] <n2diy> Sonjeev: what happens if you do ifup eth0
[07:32] <punsad> Sonjeev: then try ifconfig and see if it shows up
[07:32] <Sonjeev> ok i havnt tried the dhclient
[07:33] <punsad> Sonjeev: that's a useful one
[07:33] <Sonjeev> i did up, and it shows up but i cant see anything past the router
[07:33] <Sonjeev> ill try dhc...im dual booting so im gonna have to restart...ill try to reconnect here on my laptop so i can work while i talk, brb
[07:33] <clu3l3ss> pike_: pastebinned
[07:33] <Sonjeev> thanks for help
[07:33] <punsad> Sonjeev: do you have an ip address?
[07:33] <punsad> Sonjeev: again - ifconfig
[07:33] <Sonjeev> i just assigned one to eth0
[07:33] <Sonjeev> but i didnt use dhc
[07:33] <pike_> clu3l3ss: url?
[07:33] <Sonjeev> i did like ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.10
[07:33] <bruenig> yeah you can't do that
[07:34] <bruenig> unless you are static
[07:34] <Sonjeev> ok
[07:34] <clu3l3ss> pike_: http://pastebin.com/d2e83c3a5
[07:34] <bruenig> the router needs to give you one
[07:34] <Sonjeev> ill brb, thx for tips
[07:34] <bruenig> and even that is not correct syntax I don't think
[07:34] <punsad> Sonjeev: is there a dhcp server that should assign one? (bruenig's question)
[07:34] <Sonjeev> ummm
[07:34] <zoidberg_> guys...is there a nice automated application that will convert .m4a files to .mp4 or .mp3 files for ubuntu...perhaps an application that after the conversion will delete the .m4a version
[07:34] <Sonjeev> im hooked up through a router to a cable modem
[07:35] <bruenig> zoidberg_, ffmpeg mencoder transcode, I am sure they will all do it one way or another
[07:35] <punsad> Sonjeev: your router may very well be a dhcp server which assigns ip addresses to all nodes
[07:35] <Sonjeev> ok
[07:35] <Sonjeev> brb
[07:35] <fraser17> hello, i can ping websites, but firefox doesn't connect to them. it says connecting for ages and then it says 'connecion was refused'
[07:35] <punsad> Sonjeev: most routers can be interacted with by going to http://192.168.0.1 (or something like that)
[07:35] <bruenig> he's gone
[07:36] <punsad> fraser17: do other browsers work (e.g. lynx)
[07:36] <n2diy> 73
[07:36] <zoidberg_> bruenig, what is the name of the package so i could download it from apt?
[07:36] <Lego_Maniac> can someone help with grub?
[07:36] <bruenig> zoidberg_, those three are the names of the packages
[07:36] <punsad> Lego_Maniac: what's ur question?
[07:37] <rodserling> is the wine.budgetdedicated.com rep down?
[07:37] <bruenig> ping it
[07:37] <Lego_Maniac> i have 2 hdds, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, i want identical grub on both so i can move /sdb to become sda and boot
[07:37] <Lego_Maniac> i know i can clone mbr with dd bs=512
[07:38] <Lego_Maniac> but when i booted sdb (after moving it to slot0), it hands after stage1
[07:38] <bruenig> Lego_Maniac, you would have to reinstall grub on the mbr when you switched between them
[07:38] <MajorPayne> How do I disable that silly key ring?  When I click deny it should not prompt me again to store the password there on a later date.
[07:38] <Lego_Maniac> i did dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512 count=1
[07:38] <fraser17> punsad, haven't tried yet
[07:38] <bruenig> MajorPayne, don't use networkmanager, use wifi-radar or some other less inane setup
[07:38] <Lego_Maniac> that should have cloned MBR
[07:39] <pike_> Lego_Maniac: that looks right
[07:39] <blanky> bruenig: if I wnated to do mkfs.ext3, I just do mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1 for example? no need for extra params?
[07:39] <bruenig> but wouldn't he have to change the options
[07:39] <Lego_Maniac> stage2 hangs though...how do i diagnose?
[07:39] <bruenig> like hd(1,0)
[07:39] <zoidberg_> bruenig, are any of the converters you told me GUI based?
[07:39] <MajorPayne> bruenig: I like networkmanager.  I just don't like the keyring.
[07:40] <bruenig> blanky, if you already have it formatted, then you just need to set permissions
[07:40] <bruenig> MajorPayne, well the two are inextricably linked
[07:40] <bruenig> zoidberg_, no
[07:40] <blanky> bruenig: oh because I can now access it through my other windows computers, im sharing it with samba, but I can't write to it
[07:40] <blanky> is it because it's ext3?
[07:40] <bruenig> no
[07:40] <basix> i have enabled X over TCP but i dont know how to connect to the remote X server. what client is needed to connect??
[07:40] <blanky> it's not?
[07:40] <bruenig> you need to change the permissions like I said
[07:40] <zoidberg_> bruenig, is there any gui based one?
[07:40] <blanky> bruenig: uh, like how?
[07:40] <blanky> chmod 777 -R /media/disk ?
[07:40] <bruenig> blanky, scroll up and look for the chown and chmod stuff
[07:41] <Lego_Maniac> basix: X is reverse
[07:41] <Lego_Maniac> you run the server locally and the client is the "server"
[07:41] <bruenig> zoidberg_, probably not, just read the man pages, it shouldn't be too hard since you are going audio to audio, so you don't have to deal with aspect ratio parameters and the like
[07:41] <RoAkSoAx> hello, i need some help. I've installed Postfix + Courier + Squirrelmail. i have my own domain and i can send emails, but when i send an email to my mailserver, i cant see it on squirrelmail inbox, can anyone help me?
[07:41] <blanky> bruenig: but listen, you said that chmod 777 -R /media/disk only affects pre-existing files, what does that have to do with someone on a windows box on the same network writing to it?
[07:41] <blanky> I'm just wondering
[07:42] <punsad> basix: if you just want to run some apps, you can ssh to remote server, then add --display switch to the various appliccations.  When I used to do this, I'd open up an xterm, then from that xterm start other apps and it would show up on local machine, running from remote maching
[07:42] <clu3l3ss> pike_: looks like glx is supposed to be loading in the xorg.conf - but no dice.  any idea where the log file is?
[07:42] <bruenig> blanky, it only affects preexisting files, the new files will be created in accordance with the umask, which means directories will be 755 and files will be 644
[07:42] <bruenig> blanky, like everywhere else on your disk
[07:42] <blanky> bruenig: okay thanks bruenig I'm sorry for questioning, was just confused
[07:42] <fraser17> punsad, synaptic won't work either. also, it works on the live cd
[07:42] <[Cz] S_p_or_t_o> i'm trying to install hlds (counter strike linux server) i keep getting an error when launching stating another process is holding port 27015 - any tips on figuring out which process is using what port
[07:43] <pike_> clu3l3ss: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[07:43] <blanky> bruenig: after doing that should I restart samba or something?
[07:43] <fraser17> does anyone know why my computer would be able to ping websites but not able to use apt-get or synaptic or firefox????
[07:43] <pike_> clu3l3ss: other than that i have only passing familiarity with 3d issues
[07:43] <blanky> because it still wont let me write to it
[07:43] <punsad> fraser17: sounds like your system isn't resolving hosts correctly
[07:43] <bruenig> blanky, I have never used samba, I don't know how it works
[07:43] <blanky> basically I want to share my ext3 partition on the network using samba (already did, I can browse it) and be able to write to it
[07:43] <[Cz] S_p_or_t_o> fraser17, are you using a firewall
[07:44] <blanky> I guess I'll have to format it as fat32 then
[07:44] <fraser17> punsad, i'm behind a nat router
[07:44] <fraser17> [Cz] S_p_or_t_o, behind a nat router

[07:44] <basix> punsad, i'd like to see the whole desktop. i've edited /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf to allow TCP connections. how do i connect to the X server
[07:44] <RoAkSoAx> hello, i need some help. I've installed Postfix + Courier + Squirrelmail. i have my own domain and i can send emails, but when i send an email to my mailserver, i cant see it on squirrelmail inbox, can anyone help me?
[07:44] <punsad> basix: sounds like you want XDMCP
[07:44] <funkytoad> 
[07:45] <funkytoad> hi
[07:45] <fraser17> punsad, do you know how to help it resolve hosts correctly?
[07:45] <punsad> basix: e.g. you'd like to be able to see the login screen?
[07:45] <punsad> fraser17: what's in your resolv.conf?
[07:45] <basix> punsad, yeah
[07:46] <punsad> basix: I remember setting that up many moons ago.  There's like one line that you gotta uncomment or something silly like that
[07:46] <blanky> does anyone here know how I'd go about sharing a fat32 partition on the network so that other windows boxes could write to it?
[07:47] <varun_> how do I compile a 32-bit version of an application on ubuntu?
[07:47] <[Cz] S_p_or_t_o> i need tips on figuring out which process is using what port

[07:48] <fraser17> punsad, is that /etc/resolv.conf?
[07:48] <bruenig> !thanks | varun_
[07:48] <ubotu> varun_: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[07:48] <[Cz] S_p_or_t_o> blanky,  r u doin a network shared or a network drive
[07:48] <blanky> [Cz] S_p_or_t_o: network share I think?
[07:48] <basix> punsad, i did that
[07:48] <basix> punsad, what client do i use for XDMCP?
[07:48] <punsad> fraser18: yes
[07:48] <fraser17> punsad, just 'nameserver 0.1.1.1" should there be more?
[07:48] <fraser17> punsad, just 'nameserver 10.1.1.1" should there be more? correction
[07:48] <varun_> bruenig: hm this doesn't have instructions for compiling a 32 bit app
[07:49] <blanky> [Cz] S_p_or_t_o: it's a partition on my linux box, I want to share it so that windows boxes on the lan can write to it
[07:49] <bruenig> varun_, compile a 32 bit app the same way you compile any other app
[07:49] <punsad> fraser17: seems like there should be more than that.  do those ip addresses mean anything to you?
[07:49] <varun_> bruenig: there is no separate flags or options?
[07:49] <pike_> clu3l3ss: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and under device section for nvidia driver add line
[07:49] <pike_> Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"    <-- maybe
[07:49] <punsad> basix: 'client' .. you mean on the local machine?
[07:49] <bruenig> varun_, are you going to distribute this binary to a bunch of different computers or something? it will build against your system
[07:50] <fraser17> punsad, 10.1.1.1 is my router's IP
[07:50] <[Cz] S_p_or_t_o> blanky, format it w/ linux, aptget windows networking and make sure the xp has simple sharing on
[07:50] <clu3l3ss> Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
[07:50] <basix> punsad, yes
[07:50] <clu3l3ss> pike_:  :)
[07:50] <varun_> bruenig: I have a 64-bit install, but I want to compile a 32-bit mplayer
[07:50] <clu3l3ss> pike_: looks like a submitted bug.
[07:50] <punsad> basix: is it another linux setup?
[07:51] <bruenig> varun_, you need to find all the libararies and headers it uses and then point it to those when you compile
[07:51] <blanky> [Cz] S_p_or_t_o: apt-get windows networking?
[07:51] <bruenig> libraries*
[07:51] <clu3l3ss> pike_: Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
[07:51] <slowz3r> can someone help me with this command "gem install -v=1.2.2 rails"
[07:51] <clu3l3ss> pike_: trying that, brb.
[07:51] <basix> punsad, yes
[07:52] <varun_> bruenig: I see........so 32 bit versions of those libraries and headers, you mean?
[07:52] <[Cz] S_p_or_t_o> blanky, i don't remember the name of it and i could be thinking of ntfs
[07:52] <bruenig> varun_, right
[07:52] <RoAkSoAx> can somebody help me with PostFix+Courier+squirrelmail?
[07:52] <blanky> [Cz] S_p_or_t_o: uh...samba? thanks anyways
[07:52] <varun_> bruenig: gotcha. much thanks.
[07:52] <rodserling_> hello
[07:52] <Phydoux> blanky, I believe that would be the aptget windows networking mentioned earlier by someone
[07:52] <Clu3l3ss> pike_: that was it, my man, thanks for the help!
[07:53] <pike_> Clu3l3ss: np. congrats :)
[07:53] <blanky> Phydoux: yeah I figured, oh well thanks
[07:53] <[Cz] S_p_or_t_o> i need tips on figuring out which process is using what port
[07:54] <punsad> basix: can't really help you there.  Obviously.. the 'client' is X, but how to configure it... not quite sure.
[07:54] <Phydoux> blanky, Someone mentioned a week or so ago about something called Automatix. They said stay away from it. It's no good, just in case you happen to venture into that :)
[07:54] <alecw1> I just installed Java + Frostwire, but for some reason, my text won't appear when typing on Frostwire?
[07:54] <Jordan_U> blanky, What problem are you having?
[07:54] <blanky> Phydoux: thanks I've been using ubuntu since 4.04, I'm just new to samba heh
[07:54] <pawan> hi
[07:55] <pawan> not able to start synaptic manager
[07:55] <blanky> Jordan_U: Hi! I'm trying to share an ext3 partition using samba (I got that part working) so that my windows boxes on the LAN can write to it, so far they can only read from them
[07:55] <crackerbox> can someone tell me what this line of bash means:
[07:55] <crackerbox> printf "uname -r:\n" >&3
[07:55] <blanky> I already did chown me:me /media/disk, and chmod 777 -R /media/disk
[07:55] <pawan> pawan@pawan-desktop:~$ dpkg --configure -a
[07:55] <pawan> dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[07:55] <Phydoux> EW!!! Almost 2AM!!! I'm off to bed... Good luck blanky
[07:55] <blanky> later Phydoux
[07:55] <blanky> thanks
[07:55] <pike_> alecw1: you might run sudo update-alternatives --configure java   maybe the free java binary is still linked instead of sun
[07:56] <niuq> hello
[07:56] <Phydoux> np Sorry I couldnt be more help
[07:56] <rodserling_> hi
[07:56] <Jordan_U> blanky, Oh, sorry I don't know anything about samba, I meant to ask basix what problem he was having with X :(
[07:56] <niuq> there is any app to change the size and name of a bunch of pictures??
[07:56] <fraser17> i followed the guide in the documentation on how to set up an internet connection and it still isn't working
[07:56] <blanky> Jordan_U: oh well thanks
[07:56] <IdNotFound> crackerbox: "uname -r" outputs your kernel version... it seems to be redirecting it somewhere I don't know
[07:56] <alecw1> ok, pike_, can you guide me through that?
[07:56] <Jordan_U> niuq, imagemagic
[07:56] <Jordan_U> basix, What problem are you having?
[07:56] <punsad> niuq: to do batch resizing: imagemagick
[07:56] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: I have set up a similar share and all I did was put a flag of writeable = true in the share section of the smb.conf file
[07:57] <pike_> niuq: grab the imagemagick package it has a bunch of utilites. i use convert most often. theyre all command line though
[07:57] <punsad> niuq: to change the names, some bash scrips should work
[07:57] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: seriously?! ext3?
[07:57] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: sorry, it is "writeable = yes"
[07:57] <IdNotFound> pike_: I believe frostwire only loads with Sun's Java? (or at least 1.5.0)
[07:57] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: yeah I have the same setting haha, are you using ext3?
[07:57] <niuq> punsad: im not familiar with scripts
[07:57] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: ah sorry no, I missed that part. my mistake
[07:57] <pike_> alecw1: just paste that command. i dont know if that is it but i was thinking ubuntu default install had the free jave jre
[07:57] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: it's alright, as long as it works, what did you use, FAT32 ?
[07:57] <Jordan_U> blanky, Make sure that whatever user samba runs as has write access to that folder
[07:58] <crackerbox> anyone know what <&3 means in a script?
[07:58] <blanky> Jordan_U: OHHHH!!!
[07:58] <blanky> Jordan_U: thanks!
[07:58] <punsad> niuq: to do the renaming, for loops work really well. if you give me an example, I might be able to come up with the oneliner to rename a directory full of files
[07:58] <pike_> IdNotFound: alecw1 could be right i have little exp in java
[07:58] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: no its running on my linux fs which is ext2
[07:58] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: oh, so not ext3 but ext2
[07:58] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: hmmm, weird
[07:58] <alecw1> pike_: I just did that
[07:58] <alecw1> giave me a HUGE list of options
[07:58] <alecw1> :P
[07:58] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: I will check my other settings real fast to see if I remember
[07:58] <Sonjeev> hello again, i had success configuring my ethernet, however, the fglrx drivers are not working and my when ubuntu boots my monitor turns off. can anyone help??
[07:58] <deadmc> Im trying to install a login in theme. It says drag and drop in gdm setup tool
[07:59] <deadmc> what is that?
[07:59] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: Thanks I appreciate it
[07:59] <basix> Jordan_U, i simply want to connect to a remote X server. thats all.
[07:59] <niuq> punsad: an example?, what kind of example do you need?
[07:59] <Jordan_U> basix, ssh -X ?
[07:59] <niuq> punsad: well i have a bunch of pictures in a folder, and i'de like to put them in some order
[07:59] <deadmc> where can i find the gdm setup tool?
[07:59] <punsad> niuq: example of example... here goes... rename a directory of jpgs by prepending a date
[07:59] <niuq> punsad: i dont know something like       pic1.jpg    pic2.jpg    pic3.jpg
[08:00] <IdNotFound> alecw1: try "java -version", what does it output?
[08:00] <Sonjeev> can anybody help me configure my ati radeon x850 xt from cmd line so i can boot into a gui???
[08:00] <alecw1> java version "1.6.0"
[08:00] <alecw1> Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
[08:00] <alecw1> Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)
[08:00] <basix> Jordan_U, ok i'll try htat
[08:00] <Jordan_U> basix, That will let you run GUI programs from a remote machine, which is what I think you want, though it is not technically connecting to the remote machine's xserver
[08:01] <pingpongboss> Is there any chat client that would let me do video chatting for the AIM protocol?
[08:01] <Sonjeev> i tried "apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" but it didnt help...monitor still turns off when i boot
[08:01] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: ok, actually it is running on ext3, what type of security do you have it set to, user or share?
[08:01] <IdNotFound> alecw1: it could be incompatibilities with the Java 6, I am still on Java 5, so I can't really tell... can you install Java 5 ?
[08:01] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: Sorry, how do I figure that out?
[08:01] <rodserling> hello?
[08:01] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev, Did you reconfigure X to use fglrx?
[08:01] <Sonjeev> i did
[08:01] <Jordan_U> !hi | rodserling
[08:01] <ubotu> rodserling: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:01] <Sonjeev> "aticonfig --initial"
[08:01] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: are you working from a graphical interface or the command line?
[08:01] <punsad> niuq: are all the jpgs named with a mish mash of naming conventions?
[08:02] <Sonjeev> and "aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv"
[08:02] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: I just simply added another drive, formatted it as ext3, but then it was set to root so I did chown me:me /media/disk/, chmod 777 -R /media/disk, I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have done that
[08:02] <Sonjeev> is that what u mean?
[08:02] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: I have access to both
[08:02] <zoidberg_> guys i'm looking for a good GUI audio converter that converts .m4a to .mp3?
[08:02] <punsad> niuq: I guesss they are .. hence you'd like to make them uniform
[08:02] <niuq> punsad: all are named  something.jpg
[08:02] <niuq> punsad: id like something like    1picture.jpg     2picture.jpg
[08:02] <rodserling> Is there a way to boot into "configure mode" from xserver?
[08:02] <niuq> punsad: something like it
[08:02] <basix> Jordan_U, okie
[08:03] <alecw1> rodserling, why not boot without XSERVER, just get the terminal?
[08:03] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: ok at the command line type: "sudo cat /etc/samba/smb.conf | grep security" and it will show the line as security = ...
[08:03] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: thanks
[08:03] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: security = user is commented out (it has a ; in front)
[08:03] <pawan> pawan@pawan-desktop:~$ dpkg --configure -a
[08:03] <pawan> dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[08:03] <pawan> cant start synaptic manager
[08:03] <pingpongboss> any programs that would let me video chat for AIM?
[08:03] <rodserling> how do i do that alecw1?
[08:04] <alecw1> rodserling, go into the GRUB menu on bootup, and switch to a different version, recovery mode.
[08:04] <zoidberg_> can anyone help me plz?
[08:04] <zoidberg_> guys i'm looking for a good GUI audio converter that converts .m4a to .mp3?
[08:04] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: ok, im not an expert at samba but the way I have mine set up is that security = user is not commented, and so to access the shares you have to use a username/password from the samba user list
[08:04] <rodserling> ahh, yes. that's what i meant "recovery mode"
[08:04] <rodserling> not "reconfigure"
[08:04] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: okay, but you can write to the shares too? not just read?
[08:04] <punsad> niuq: for that case, I don't think I could do a oneliner... it'd have to be a script
[08:04] <Sonjeev> can anyone guide me how to reconfigure X to work with my ati radeon x850 xt? my monitor goes into powersave mode when i boot ubuntu
[08:04] <pike_> zoidberg_: audacity?
[08:04] <niuq> punsad: i dont know if you need more info.... and im not sure what else you can need
[08:05] <Jordan_U> basix, And you will notice that ssh -X is often *much* faster than things like VNC because the window is rendered on your computer rather than rendered on the remote computer and transferred, as an example you can comfortably play 3D games over ssh -X if there isn't too much latency
[08:05] <niuq> punsad: what do you mean?
[08:05] <rodserling> alec, is there a way to stop xserver but leave the terminal?
[08:05] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: on mine I am able to, but im not sure if that is the setting that would allow you to
[08:05] <aricz> zoidberg_ : try 'grip' ..
[08:05] <slowz3r> can someone help me isntall subversion
[08:05] <slowz3r> SVN
[08:05] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: I'll try it, thanks I apprecaite the help
[08:05] <blanky> I'm so desperate
[08:05] <cafuego>  slowz3r sudo apt-get install svn
[08:06] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: no problem, good luck!
[08:06] <punsad> niuq: sometimes, bash scripts can just be typed at the commandline.  For more involved things, they need to be stored into a file and you'd have to type: examplebashscript.sh (to start the script)
[08:06] <slowz3r> cafuego: oo i was doing apt-get subversion
[08:06] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: and make sure to back up the config file before you make the changes
[08:06] <Jordan_U> rodserling, ctrl+alt+F1 ( ctrl+alt+F7 to return to X ), to actually kill X run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[08:06] <basix> Jordan_U, nope its not working.
[08:06] <cafuego> slowz3r: Ah yah, you need the command (install) in there too :-)
[08:06] <rodserling> thanks Jordan_U
[08:07] <basix> Jordan_U, assertion `GDK_IS_DISPLAY (display)' failed < - i get this error
[08:07] <Jordan_U> basix, What are you trying to do more specifically, do you have openssh server installed on the remote machine?
[08:07] <slowz3r> cafuego: ya i know i shorten it for irc sake..lol..and so now it canf find package svn
[08:07] <niuq> punsad: and in this case you'll store it in a file?
[08:07] <slowz3r> cafuego: any ideas
[08:08] <basix> Jordan_U, yeah i have openssh daemon on the machine. all i want is something like windows remote desktop.
[08:08] <punsad> niuq: yes.  it's just too much stuff to type again and again
[08:08] <niuq> punsad: so you will help me with that?
[08:08] <Jordan_U> basix, System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop
[08:08] <cafuego> slowz3r: probably 'subversion' then.
[08:09] <slowz3r> hmm ill pay around with it
[08:09] <cafuego> slowz3r: You can do an 'apt-cache search subversion' and it should list what's available.
[08:09] <slowz3r> cafuego: thanks much
[08:09] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: I got it thanks!
[08:09] <basix> Jordan_U, i only have ssh access to that machine right now. can i modify some config file to enable that?
[08:09] <abhibera> hey can anyone tell me how to do profiles in firefox on edgy?
[08:09] <stanthecaddy22> blanky: congrats! glad I could help.
[08:09] <blanky> stanthecaddy22: :)
[08:10] <Sonjeev> please...can someone help me configure ubuntu to work with my ati video card?
[08:10] <Meta4ical> is anyone here running steam?
[08:10] <stanthecaddy22> Sonjeev: whats wrong with it?
[08:10] <crackerbox> can some one help me set a variable to the name of my video card
[08:11] <Sonjeev> when i try to boot ubuntu, the screen goes black
[08:11] <Jordan_U> basix, I am sure you can, I don't know which you would though, what is the local machine, what is the remote machine, and what command exactly did you run with ssh -X ?
[08:11] <HellDragon> heh
[08:11] <Sonjeev> i can boot into recovery mode and get a console terminal thingy
[08:11] <Sonjeev> i used apt-get to get fglrx drivers like the forum FAQ says
[08:11] <Sonjeev> but it doesnt help...is there some configuration or driver i need to download?
[08:11] <Geminias> hello
[08:12] <punsad> niuq: that PM I just gave you is an example of a oneliner script.  as you can see, they can get complicated
[08:12] <stanthecaddy22> Sonjeev: well the fglrx is the driver, but have you configured it to use the driver?
[08:12] <Sonjeev> i did sudo aticonfig --initial
[08:12] <knott> hi all
[08:12] <Sonjeev> and sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
[08:13] <Sonjeev> does that do it?
[08:13] <Sonjeev> or is there something else
[08:13] <Lekrem> knott: hi
[08:13] <stanthecaddy22> Sonjeev: do you have the terminal availible right now?
[08:13] <Meta4ical> sonjeev: I was in here LITERALLY an hour ago with your identical problem
[08:13] <Sonjeev> yes i do stan
[08:13] <Sonjeev> howd u fix it meta4ical???
[08:13] <brownie17> punsad, problem not resolved. no idea how to fix it
[08:13] <Meta4ical> Sonjeev: I never said I fixed it ... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513607
[08:14] <stanthecaddy22> Sonjeev: ok, try typing "sudo cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep fglrx"
[08:14] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev, That should do it but as a stab in the dark try " sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh "
[08:14] <Meta4ical> stan mind if I follow along?
[08:14] <stanthecaddy22> Meta4ical: not at all
[08:14] <Guilt> hi. i've got a dell lappy..
[08:14] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev, Do what stanthecaddy22 asked first though
[08:14] <Sonjeev> stan, what i got was "Driver    "fglrx"
[08:14] <Sonjeev> thats all
[08:14] <punsad> Guilt
[08:14] <Meta4ical> same here :P
[08:14] <Guilt> anybody know if the dell linux works like it does for dell windows? (all drivers and utiilites customized)?
[08:15] <punsad> Guilt: is it the kind with ubuntu pre-installed?
[08:15] <stanthecaddy22> Sonjeev: hmm well that should indicate it is using that driver
[08:15] <Guilt> no. mine is a XPS 1210.. i don't think it's one of those "4" models
[08:15] <stanthecaddy22> when the monitor goes black, does the led turn orange or something like its not getting signal?
[08:15] <Guilt> but i'd be glad to hear if it kinda'
[08:15] <Sonjeev> stan, YES
[08:15] <Jordan_U> basix, What OS  is the local machine, what OS is the remote machine, and what command exactly did you run with ssh -X ?
[08:15] <Guilt>  works on all these models
[08:15] <Sonjeev> exactly what it does
[08:15] <Meta4ical> Sonjeev: I missed it, what video card do you have?
[08:16] <Sonjeev> ati radeon x850 xt
[08:16] <Meta4ical> lol
[08:16] <Meta4ical> radeon x1550 here ;p
[08:16] <Meta4ical> If you find a fix, please contact me, I'll be contacting you when I get this fixed as well
[08:16] <stanthecaddy22> ok, so that probably means the settings for the monitor are incorrect
[08:17] <stanthecaddy22> Sonjeev: try the following, first back up the config file by: "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak"
[08:17] <brownie17> hi, my internet seems not to be working. i am able to ping servers, but trying to view them in firefox does not work.
[08:17] <Sonjeev> how do i change them?
[08:17] <Sonjeev> met4ical, pm with email before u leave
[08:17] <Sonjeev> lets stay in touch
[08:17] <Sonjeev> stan, ok trying now
[08:17] <Meta4ical> I'm going to bed at like 6am ;p
[08:17] <Guilt> i hate having to configure: fuse/ntfs-3g, nv-legacy, linuxant, lineak, *chm, *-codecs ...
[08:17] <assasukasse> hi everyone
[08:17] <Guilt> :P you know, it'd be great if dell can work out a solution like they do for windows.
[08:17] <Guilt> like, with mediadirect and all
[08:18] <Sonjeev> hey jordan_u, i did the command u told me and i have a list of video modes but none checked
[08:18] <Guilt> except it's free and it won't cost them a dime.
[08:18] <assasukasse> i have a problem, lets see if u can help: i am in hong kong right now, and i am using a free wireless service but i cant send emails since my smtp refuses sending. is there any "free" smtp service maybe that needs registration but sends from everywhere?
[08:18] <Sonjeev> stan, give me 1 sec
[08:18] <Guilt> my lap has support drivers for RHEL4 :P
[08:19] <brownie17> guys i have discovered i have a DNS problem, when i used ping to find the IP address of google i was able to type the IP address into firefox and surf google like normal, but i still cannot typ www.google.com
[08:19] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev, Check the resolutions your card / monitor supports ( using space bar )
[08:19] <Meta4ical> stan I missed his problem, he tries to use fglrx and when he reboots it black sceens right?
[08:19] <stanthecaddy22> Meta4ical: yes, as far as I am aware
[08:19] <Meta4ical> Ok I'm having the exact same issue as him
[08:20] <Sonjeev> ok, im rebooting with 1280x1024 booted
[08:20] <Sonjeev> err checked
[08:20] <stanthecaddy22> Sonjeev: ah good thats what I was going to have you do
[08:20] <Meta4ical> Sonjeev: I PMed you, did you get it?
[08:20] <Guilt> brownie: google.com uses the Host: header
[08:20] <stanthecaddy22> Meta4ical: did you try the "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"?
[08:21] <Sonjeev> no luck stan
[08:21] <Sonjeev> led went orange
[08:21] <Meta4ical> wasn't it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513607
[08:21] <Meta4ical> oop
[08:21] <Guilt> ex. if you tried telnet ip 80
[08:21] <Meta4ical> lol
[08:21] <Meta4ical>  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  ****
[08:21] <Meta4ical> that?
[08:21] <Guilt> and did: GET / HTTP/1.0<crlf><crlf>
[08:21] <stanthecaddy22> Sonjeev: when you were doing the step by step did it ask for the monitor's sync ranges?
[08:21] <brownie17> Guilt, not follwing
[08:21] <Sonjeev> no
[08:21] <Guilt> it'd prolly throw you an error. but if you did: GET / HTTP/1.0<crlf>Host: google.com<crlf>
[08:21] <stanthecaddy22> Meta4ical: hmm well it is the same command but im not sure what the -phigh does
[08:22] <Guilt> it would prolly work.
[08:22] <rodserling> is there a more relaxed irc channel?
[08:22] <rodserling> linux*
[08:22] <Meta4ical> ./join #ubunti-offtopic
[08:22] <bruenig> rodserling, ##linux
[08:22] <rodserling> thanks
[08:22] <Guilt> brownie: is your name server set up right?
[08:22] <Guilt> perform: nslookup google.com and see if it works.
[08:22] <Meta4ical> ./join #ubuntu-offtopic *
[08:22] <brownie17> Guilt, i've no idea. how do i chec this
[08:23] <Sonjeev> meta4ical, can u see my pms?
[08:23] <Guilt> Open a terminal, type this: $nslookup google.com
[08:23] <Sonjeev> stan, how do do i set the monitor ranges?
[08:23] <Guilt> don't type the $. i'm assuming it's already displayed for you
[08:23] <bruenig> but $nslookup isn't set
[08:23] <Meta4ical> Sonjeev: No.. i had this issue with someone else and xchat, even when I did /msg <name> =/
[08:23] <bruenig> lol
[08:23] <Meta4ical> Sonjeev: do you have msn?
[08:23] <bruenig> I guarantee you that is what he would say
[08:23] <Guilt> just type: nslookup google.com
[08:23] <Sonjeev> i think i have to register
[08:23] <stanthecaddy22> Sonjeev: if you know them you should be able to select advanced in that program you just did
[08:23] <Sonjeev> i can see urs
[08:24] <Guilt> bruenig: did you try it?
[08:24] <brownie17> Guilt, done
[08:24] <rockets> Hey when I try to compile a kernel using make-kpkg, i get a nothing to be done message
[08:24] <bruenig> Guilt, just a joke on the $nslookup
[08:25] <Guilt> lol. i'm kinda' confused between you and brownie
[08:25] <Guilt> brownie: so, did it display the IP addresses for google.com?
[08:25] <Guilt> or did it give a fail message?
[08:26] <bruenig> brownie17 did a heck of a job iirc
[08:26] <brownie17> guilt, sorry. ahh yes it appeas to have done. and the appear to correlate with what i previously knew.
[08:26] <Guilt> so, are you now able to type google.com and surf?
[08:26] <brownie17> bruenig, not here
[08:26] <brownie17> guilt, no
[08:26] <Guilt> and, if it doesn't, check the connection settings in Firefox (if using a HTTP proxy)
[08:27] <bruenig> come on, after new orleans, the fema chief whose name was mike brown, bush told him "brownie, your doing a heck of a job"
[08:27] <Guilt> brownie17: do these in order and tell me what happens
[08:27] <brownie17> guilt, says direct connecion. not using a proxy. would it help if i did? i know a few
[08:27] <Guilt> 1. nslookup google.com
[08:27] <Guilt> 2. if the last one gave an IP, try telnet <ip> 80
[08:28] <brownie17> guilt, was in livecd for testing, now am going back to installation. two mins
[08:28] <Sonjeev> meta4ical
[08:28] <Guilt> 3. if the last said it connected, try: telnet google.com 80
[08:28] <Meta4ical> Sonjeev: yep?
[08:28] <Sonjeev> got aim?
[08:28] <Sonjeev> i dont have msn
[08:28] <brownie17> bruenig, i'm not american, sorry lol
[08:28] <Meta4ical> Sonjeev: No ... um, want my email then?
[08:28] <Guilt> 4. if the last said it connected, try surfing, ought to work. :)
[08:28] <bruenig> well, just know it was a hilarious moment
[08:28] <Sonjeev> ya
[08:29] <Meta4ical> did you get it?
[08:29] <brownie17> bruenig, i am astounded by your hilarity. well done
[08:29] <bruenig> brilliant response
[08:29] <Guilt> that is the best i can offer now. :) okay, i've gtg. brownie: just try all of them.
[08:29] <Sonjeev> ya
[08:29] <brownie17> guilt, thanks for trying

[08:30] <Jordan_U> East, no
[08:30] <East> how are you guys ?
[08:30] <bruenig> !ot | East
[08:30] <ubotu> East: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:30] <abhibera>  hi i use ubuntu edgy with firefox 2.0.0.5. i would like to know how can i create a new firefox profile on the same user account? i need to do this because i'm developing extensions and i want to be on the safe side.
[08:30] <bruenig> abhibera, firefox -ProfileManager
[08:30] <Sonjeev> met4ical, are u using x86-64?
[08:31] <abhibera> bruenig: thanks :)
[08:31] <rodserling> Here's a simple question. When I type, for example, "irssi" into the terminal, how does it know what directory to execute the program is in?
[08:31] <Meta4ical> Sonjeev: Though I have a 64bit cpu, everyone here advised the i386 arch to avoid problems :P
[08:31] <brownie17> was anyone listening to my conversation with guilt?
[08:31] <Meta4ical> So nope
[08:31] <Sonjeev> hmm k
[08:32] <Meta4ical> Sonjeev: we have the identical problem, only i don't think my monitor light goes orange, it remains green as if on
[08:32] <Meta4ical> but a blakc screen
[08:32] <bruenig> rodserling, echo $PATH
[08:32] <abhibera> bruenig: then how do i activate that profile?
[08:32] <Meta4ical> Sonjeev: Is this what happens to you? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513607
[08:32] <bruenig> abhibera, firefox -p profilename
[08:32] <abhibera> ok :)
[08:32] <bruenig> abhibera, it is a capital P
[08:33] <brownie17> does anyone know how to fix my DNS problem? i am able to connect to any server, through ping or telnet, but not through firefox
[08:33] <abhibera> ok so firefox -P profilename :)
[08:33] <Sonjeev> basically, when i try to boot my monitor goes black and led goes to orange which is like low power mode
[08:33] <bruenig> abhibera, right
[08:33] <Sonjeev> that what u get?
[08:34] <bruenig> firefox doesn't quite understand the obsession with lowercase in unix I suppose
[08:34] <abhibera> bruenig, thanks
[08:34] <Ademan> is there any place that posts security advisories for ubuntu?
[08:34] <bruenig> Ademan, the forums has something about that
[08:34] <Meta4ical> Sonjeev: Mine boots all the way up until the point it would reach the screen where you login, and then goes black
[08:34] <Meta4ical> I have to go into recovery mode and use the old xorg.conf in order to get back in
[08:34] <cosinos> hi boys i need some help to install java 1.5 jdk on ubuntu 7.04?
[08:34] <Sonjeev> hmmmm
[08:35] <Sonjeev> what driver do you use
[08:35] <bruenig> cosinos, sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
[08:35] <Sonjeev> ?
[08:35] <cosinos> source?
[08:35] <Meta4ical> I'm forced to use vesa right now, but I want fglrx -- that's what causes the blakc screen
[08:35] <bruenig> source what?
[08:35] <Sonjeev> fglrx causes black? or vesa causes it?
[08:35] <Meta4ical> fglr
[08:35] <Meta4ical> fglrx*
[08:35] <Sonjeev> hmm
[08:35] <Sonjeev> i think we have a different issue then

[08:39] <jnair> can i download universe packages as in cd/dvd iso ?
[08:40] <fyrestrtr> jnair: no.
[08:41] <jnair> :(
[08:41] <brownie17> does anyone know how to set my root password? i forget how and it didn't ask me to set it up when i installed
[08:41] <jnair> sudo -s
[08:41] <astro76> !root | brownie17
[08:41] <ubotu> brownie17: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[08:41] <terapicodave> is doing an edgy to fiesty upgrade too risky or zzzz routine?
[08:41] <Ademan_> so there's no security mailing list or anything is there?
[08:41] <brownie17> astro76 oh classy
[08:42] <Ademan_> terapicodave: i've never had a good experience upgrading ubuntu, however if you have your root directory "/" on one partition (maybe 10gb at absolute most) and /home on a different partition, you can upgrade without fear, or even reinstall totally without losing user data
[08:43] <MajorPayne> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Epiphany <-- I think if you do "sudo aptitude install epiphany" you will get the game called epiphany, not the browser.
[08:43] <terapicodave> ok will do next time...will probably wait for the gibbon
[08:43] <vladuz976> Hi my scim input method stopped working and I cannot find out where to look for errors. can anybody here help?

[08:45] <brownie17> seriously guys, i would REALLy appreciate some help with my DNS problem. i can ping and telnet any server, but firefox is unable to resolve the host
[08:45] <bcbooter> hmm
[08:45] <Ademan_> brownie17: you might try disabling ipv6, although i wouldn't think that's the trouble, it might be worth a try
[08:45] <lubosz> is there a tool to mount bin/cue, iso and mds?
[08:45] <Ademan_> plus it's easy to do
[08:45] <Ademan_> !iso
[08:45] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[08:46] <ticnailer> I have an NVidia card ...how can I get the driver for it?
[08:46] <ticnailer> does anyone have an idea?
[08:46] <Ademan_> !nvidia
[08:46] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[08:46] <Ademan_> you can use the restricted driver manager
[08:46] <ticnailer> thanks
[08:47] <vladuz976> is there a japanese ubuntu channel?
[08:48] <RAOF> !jp
[08:48] <ubotu>  #ubuntu-jp  #kubuntu-jp 
[08:48] <ticnailer> wew!!!
[08:48] <ticnailer> yes
[08:48] <Ademan_> brownie17: you navigate to about:config in firefox and modify the network.dns.disableIpv6  to true (should be able to doubleclick)
[08:48] <Lo_Pan> otakubuntu
[08:48] <ticnailer> I got the nvidia drver installed
[08:48] <ticnailer> thanks guys
[08:48] <ticnailer> !!!!!!
[08:48] <ticnailer> now I can watch pron
[08:48] <ticnailer> lol
[08:48] <ticnailer> j/k
[08:48] <ticnailer> kind of
[08:49] <brownie17> Ademan_, you fuking genius
[08:49] <siskel> how do i zip a file with the terminal?
[08:50] <brownie17> Ademan_, no-one else in two support channels could work that out with about 8 pages of pastebin, two lines you fix all my problems. i fucking love you.
[08:50] <Ademan_> brownie17: haha i love you too man
[08:52] <Meta4ical> Ademan_: Yes you are a genius, dare to tackle my ultimate problem? muahaha :)
[08:52] <terapicodave> siskel: you would use 'zip'
[08:52] <brownie17> Ademan_, how do i do that for all ubuntu, so at-get will work aswell
[08:52] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: i can certainly try lol
[08:53] <Ademan_> brownie17: oooh, good point, one sec, this MIGHT answer your question
[08:53] <Ademan_> !ipv6
[08:53] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[08:53] <Ademan_> bam!
[08:53] <Meta4ical> lol
[08:53] <Ademan_> well, hope that works anyways
[08:53] <Lucios> !iptables
[08:53] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[08:53] <Meta4ical> I guess the easiest thing to do is give you a link to the forum thread I made http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3108820#post3108820
[08:53] <Meta4ical> i'd love you very much if you could help me fix this :P
[08:53] <siskel> terapicodave, zip name_of_file?
[08:53] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: lol, so much love today
[08:54] <Jordan_U> brownie17, What symptoms are you having, sometimes disabling ipv6 is not necessary and only covers up a problem
[08:54] <terapicodave> siskel: just run 'zip' and it'll show you the syntax
[08:54] <Ax3> Ademan_, why are women crazy? #lol
[08:54] <Ademan_> estrogen, next question!
[08:54] <Ax3> lmao
[08:54] <Ademan_> lol
[08:54] <Ax3> fine you win hahaha
[08:55] <brownie17> Jordan_U, cannot resolve host for servers. can ping or telnet any server, but connecting in firefox and apt-get doesn't work.
[08:55] <siskel> terapicodave, thanks....
[08:55] <terapicodave> siskel: np
[08:55] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: aw crap, ATI card?...
[08:55] <Jordan_U> brownie17, Try opendns, your isp's DNS service is probably crap, mine is.
[08:55] <Meta4ical> Ademan_: lol unfortunately yes, I'm confident it's not too difficult a feat for a guru like yourself :) as their's people on the forum who seem to have gotten it working without too much trouble
[08:56] <MTxd> hi there
[08:56] <Jordan_U> brownie17, http://www.opendns.com/
[08:56] <MikeRotch> i got ATI card
[08:56] <MikeRotch> i am new though
[08:56] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: haha "guru", not at all, but i appreciate it anyways :-)
[08:56] <joedimos> ubuntu....w00t!
[08:56] <brownie17> Jordan_U, is it free?
[08:56] <Meta4ical> MIkeRotch: I've been on Ubuntu less than 24 hours total, newbie here too :P
[08:56] <Jordan_U> brownie17, Yes
[08:56] <ericmt578> Does anyone have experience with the Broadcom Wireless Chipset?
[08:57] <Meta4ical> I'm happy though, I figured out how to get my wireless card working all by myself, and the headset AND mp3 support
[08:57] <Jordan_U> ericmt578, Yes, have you tried fwcutter?
[08:57] <MTxd> having problemes with onboard "Intel High Definition Audio"  - I think not all Sound-Channels are used ! - only one ... playing games is like ... "krrr - commander - krrrr - roger that - krrrrrrrrrrr"
[08:57] <EADG> brownie17: OpenDNS ips 208.67.222.220, 208.67.222.222
[08:57] <brownie17> Jordan_U, does commenting out with # work in resolv.conf?
[08:57] <ericmt578> Not yet. fwcutter? I will look into it, thanks. Have it running, but  every once in a while it will stop working, have to boot into windows and enable the card.
[08:58] <Jordan_U> brownie17, IIRC yes but I am not 100% sure
[08:58] <Jordan_U> ericmt578, So you are using ndiswrapper?
[08:58] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: so when you boot up you say it hangs with a black screen? no blue or anything? just a blankblack screen?
[08:58] <ericmt578> At the moment yeah, I blacklisted the Ubuntu default driver.
[08:58] <Meta4ical> Ademan_: That's correct, I tried logging in despite being blind too, no sounds no nothing,
[08:59] <NeoGeo64> why does flash playback use so much cpu time??
[08:59] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: have you ever tried ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a tty?
[08:59] <Jordan_U> ericmt578, The default driver supports most broadcom chipsets, but you need the firmware to actually use those drivers
[08:59] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: crap sorry, can you give me a sec?
[08:59] <ramseize> guys question, im installing flash 9, then i encountered " Please enter the installation path of mozilla" i type : /usr/lib/mozilla , and it said "PLease enter a valid installation path?" what seems to be the problem?
[08:59] <NeoGeo64> What's GNOME's equivalent to Windows' ALT+TAB ?
[08:59] <ericmt578> Ahh, oh. Driver loaded firmware? So thats what I would need fwcutter for right?
[08:59] <Elliot_M> does anyone know how i can change the icon of my trash bin on ubuntu 7.o4
[08:59] <Meta4ical> Ademan_: Of course man
[09:00] <Jordan_U> ericmt578, NeoGeo64 alt + tab :)
[09:00] <Meta4ical> Ademan_: That was in reply to you having a sec, I never tried to ctrl+alt+f1
[09:00] <Meta4ical> Elliot_M: You can change the theme of your desktop completely lol
[09:00] <NeoGeo64> ok
[09:00] <brownie17> hi guys, i need to update fom breezy to the latest. what should i change my repo list to?
[09:01] <Elliot_M> yes i kno i dont want to do that i just want to change the trash bin to a PNG
[09:01] <Jordan_U> !upgrade | brownie17
[09:01] <ubotu> brownie17: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[09:01] <ramseize> guys question, im installing flash 9, then i encountered " Please enter the installation path of mozilla" i type : /usr/lib/mozilla , and it said "PLease enter a valid installation path?" what seems to be the problem?
[09:01] <MikeRotch> wrong path?
[09:01] <MikeRotch> =P
[09:01] <deathblooms> hmm
[09:01] <ramseize> what should i type?
[09:02] <cosinos> boys i need help with instalation on java jdk
[09:02] <Jordan_U> ramseize, Why not use the built in plugin installer in firefox or the package flashplugin-nonfree ?
[09:02] <MikeRotch> my mozilla is in /usr/lib/firefox/firefox
[09:02] <Lucios> ramsieze: can use apt-get flash
[09:02] <MikeRotch> i got ubuntu feisty
[09:02] <MikeRotch> well also a shortcut is in /usr/bin
[09:02] <terapicodave> ramseize: i had the same problem...just use the flashplugin-nonfree package in synaptic
[09:03] <MikeRotch> so either i guess
[09:03] <brownie17> to update from 5.10 to current i have to do more than one update??
[09:03] <ramseize> ok thanx
[09:03] <MikeRotch> woo welcome
[09:03] <Jordan_U> brownie17, Yes, you cannot skip releases
[09:03] <Lucios> ramsieze: sudo apt-get install libflash-mozplugin
[09:04] <Lucios> ramsieze: try that..mine work well
[09:04] <MikeRotch> ramseize there is a folder called mozilla-firefox though in the /usr/ib
[09:04] <cosinos> i need help with instalation on java jdk on ubunu
[09:04] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: well it brings you to a console where you can log in (text only),  if that doesn't work then xorg is actually freezing, which is a really bad sign, if you can get to it, then there's still hope, although there's hope either way
[09:04] <Jordan_U> ericmt578, If your card is supported ( http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices ) then I would try removing ndiswrapper, un blacklising bcm43xx and installing bcm43xx-fwcutter
[09:05] <ramseize> guys is there a any java IDE Script, that i could use in linux? ?
[09:05] <ericmt578> Jordan_U In process of doing so right now.
[09:05] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: if it doesn't work it most likely means it's a driver problem, in which case it might be worth trying a newer or older driver version
[09:05] <ramseize> guys is there a any java IDE Script, that i could use in linux ubuntu?
[09:05] <Elliot_M> so ne ideas on how to change the icon of the trash bin?
[09:05] <Ademan_> ramseize: IDE script? or IDE? eclipse is a good java IDE if that's what you're asking
[09:05] <Meta4ical> Ademan_: I installed whatever it gave me from the Restricted Drivers Manager ;o
[09:05] <brownie17> i might download an iso and just restart, this should be quicker than updating through all new versions
[09:05] <fyrestrtr> ramseize: Eclipse/Netbeans -- and any IDE written in Java :)
[09:05] <ramseize> ademan yes , does it have a linux version?
[09:06] <ericmt578> Thanks, off to test.
[09:06] <Jordan_U> brownie17, Is openDNS solving your ipv6 issues?
[09:06] <fyrestrtr> ramseize: if it is written in Java, it will work on Linux.
[09:06] <ramseize> ahh
[09:06] <ramseize> how
[09:06] <ramseize> i already have the program?
[09:06] <ramseize> how cani run it
[09:06] <fyrestrtr> install the java sdk, then install the ide.
[09:06] <sid> http://rafb.net/p/6yqGxW32.html .. why won't a fat32 file system work? fdisk -l always says "linux"
[09:07] <fyrestrtr> for eclipse, you can just install it using synaptic or apt-get
[09:07] <ramseize> where can i get the sdk?
[09:07] <MikeRotch> fat32 is goooood
[09:07] <Jordan_U> !java | ramseize
[09:07] <ubotu> ramseize: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[09:07] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: well the most important line in your xorg log is this: "(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable" i'm going to try googling it
[09:07] <ramseize> ok thanx
[09:07] <Jordan_U> sid, Have you tried the -t switch with the mount command?
[09:07] <Meta4ical> Ademan_: yep the guide I followed advised me to look for errors, I tried googling that myself
[09:07] <fyrestrtr> ramseize: once you install that, then just sudo apt-get install eclipse
[09:08] <Elliot_M> Is there a way other then changing the theme of Ubuntu to change the icon of the Trash bin?
[09:08] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: yeah it didn't turn up much... lol
[09:08] <Meta4ical> :(
[09:09] <Meta4ical> I wouldn't care if I didn't plan on playing counterstrike lol ..
[09:09] <sid> Jordan_U: yea, mount /dev/sda1 -t vfat /tmp; works... but this filesystem doesn't show up on a windows machine
[09:09] <Meta4ical> it got a gold on winehq for compatibility and it's my favorite game : p
[09:09] <Jordan_U> Meta4ical, Are you using fglrx?
[09:09] <R1ck> anyone experienced with ati crossfire cards?
[09:10] <brownie17> Jordan_U, yes opendns is god. thankyou so much. i can't beleive it's free
[09:10] <Meta4ical> Jordan_U: That's what's causing the black screen, I'm TRYING to use fglrx :P
[09:10] <MikeRotch> Elliot_M if you already have icons you want to replace http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=33951
[09:10] <MikeRotch> otherwise you could just use a diff theme no?
[09:10] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: yeah i play it all the time, or used to, i've been playing sven coop lately
[09:10] <m0rt3m> When trying to run the command 'sudo apt-get update' it asks me for a password.  what would this password be? Thanks. (I am a hardcore linux noob trying to install the ati linux drivers.)
[09:11] <Jordan_U> Meta4ical, Ademan_  AIGLX does not work with fglrx, that is what is causing the error "(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable"
[09:11] <Elliot_M> ye i have my own icons i want to use
[09:11] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: anywho, your xorg.conf is sorta wierd if you ask me, lemme read a bit more though
[09:11] <fyrestrtr> m0rt3m: it is your user password.
[09:11] <sid> m0rt3m: Whatever pass you used when you logged into gnome
[09:11] <Ademan_> Jordan_U: yeah but what in the xorg.conf is saying "use AIGLX"? i didn't see anything
[09:11] <Meta4ical> Ademan_: I didn't add anything to it :P
[09:11] <m0rt3m> it will not let me type my user password
[09:11] <fyrestrtr> Jordan_U: yes it does work with fglrx.
[09:11] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: yeah, sometimes those configurators are sort of wierd
[09:12] <Jordan_U> fyrestrtr, No, it does not
[09:12] <Jordan_U> fyrestrtr, It will break DRI if enabled
[09:12] <Ademan_> Jordan_U: it explicitly turns composite off though
[09:13] <Meta4ical> Ademan_: That might not be the current one, here http://pastebin.com/d59cf8230
[09:13] <Meta4ical> The only change I made was under "Extentions", one of the guides told me to disable composite since fglrx doesn't support it
[09:13] <Sonjeev_> What causes me to get the error "Error: unable to open display (null)" when trying to do "glxinfo"
[09:13] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: well what immediately strikes me is the fact that you have two video devices, are you running a dual screen setup?
[09:14] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: are you trying to get fglrx to run, or trying to get desktop effects?
[09:14] <Meta4ical> Ademan_: No, but my card has dual display support
[09:14] <Ademan_> fyrestrtr: trying to get it so xorg doesn't hang before gdm starts
[09:14] <Meta4ical> I'm trying to get it to run period
[09:14] <Jordan_U> Meta4ical, Have you tried dpkg-reconfigure instead of aticonfig?
[09:14] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: maybe that's why it the second device is there, well lemme look a little farther
[09:15] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: actually that's a good idea Jordan_U had
[09:15] <Jordan_U> !xconfig | Meta4ical
[09:15] <ubotu> Meta4ical: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[09:15] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: If you want to knock yourself out as well, I'd greatly appreciate it -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3108820#post3108820
[09:15] <Sonjeev_> anybody know what "Error: unable to open display" is caused by?
[09:15] <Ademan_> i'd back up the current xorg.conf    (rename it to something like xorg.old.nowork  or something)  and then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg
[09:15] <Ademan_> oh xserver-xorg
[09:16] <Meta4ical> I placed a backup in /home/ already  :P
[09:16] <Meta4ical> when the driver gave me blackscreens, I would revert to the old one in recovery mode
[09:16] <fyrestrtr> Sonjeev_: many things, start with errors in xorg.conf
[09:16] <Ademan_> ah alright cool then
[09:16] <aum> i'm trying to mount a kodak dx3600 still/video camera as a flash filesystem - i can access camera fine in gtkam, but prefer to mount it into the filesystem, how do i mount it?
[09:16] <ndan> hey sup guys, sry to bother, just nn to back up. hmm mounting an old external hard drive, i've used others that were ntfs no prbs but this one mounts as read only...  did dmesg something about Option utf8 is no longer supported.  can't umount the drive to remount it differently though always says its busy...
[09:16] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: then i definitely reccomend doing what Jordan_U (and by extension ubotu) said
[09:16] <Sonjeev_> how do i check for errors in it?
[09:16] <Sonjeev_> any tips?
[09:17] <Meta4ical> Ok i'll try : )
[09:18] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev, What are you doing when you get that error? ( what application are you trying to run and how )
[09:18] <Meta4ical> you want me to choose fglrx right off the bat?
[09:18] <Meta4ical> or stick with vesa?
[09:18] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: i think i'm gonna go afk though, i haven't gotten any work done all night lol, good luck, i'm sure the rest of the people here should be able to take care of you (probably better than me too)
[09:18] <Jordan_U> Meta4ical, Might as well just choose fglrx
[09:18] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: fglrx yeah
[09:18] <Meta4ical> Ok ;p
[09:18] <Meta4ical> thanks for all the help Ademan_ :p
[09:18] <Meta4ical> and jordan i want to trap you here to continue to be help :)
[09:18] <Sonjeev_> im having problems getting a signal to my monitor when i boot.  im following some forum post that asks me to do the command glxinfo
[09:19] <Sonjeev_> the system hangs then says "Error: unable to open display (null)"
[09:19] <Ademan_> Meta4ical: heh no problem, i didn't fix it though lol, ok ok, i'm off now/afk
[09:19] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: have you tried disabling desktop effects?
[09:19] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev, Are you running that from a console or from within X ?
[09:19] <Meta4ical> I don't think they're on by default  and I never enabled them
[09:19] <fyrestrtr> okay.
[09:20] <Sonjeev_> console
[09:20] <Sonjeev_> i cant launch into X
[09:20] <Sonjeev_> when i boot up, my screen goes black
[09:20] <Jordan_U> Sonicadvance1, You need X to run glxgears
[09:20] <kraut> moin
[09:20] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, ^^
[09:21] <Sonjeev_> ? fakin a....im about to go back to xp
[09:21] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, And even with X running you can't start GUI apps from a console without telling it what display X is on
[09:21] <Meta4ical> Jordan I'm stuck in the config already
[09:21] <Meta4ical> lol
[09:21] <Sonjeev_> i had to boot into "recovery mode"
[09:21] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: add this to your xorg.conf, Section "ServerLayout" Option "AIGLX" "false" EndSection
[09:21] <Sonjeev_> i cant boot ubuntu from grub bootloader
[09:21] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, What GFX card do you have ?
[09:21] <Sonjeev_> my screen goes black
[09:21] <Sonjeev_> ati x850 xt
[09:21] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: change the driver to fglrx, and restart X
[09:21] <Meta4ical> fyrestrt I'm doing  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg right now so could you remind me after
[09:21] <Sonjeev_> i followed the directions on the forums...doesnt do anything
[09:22] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, ATI cards are notoriously bad in Linux, ATI provides horrible support
[09:22] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, But you may still be able to get it to work
[09:22] <tupa> can I trick the system into thinking my USB card is a cd rom?
[09:22] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: okay, paste the config file that it generates.
[09:23] <fyrestrtr> Jordan_U: actually, I have no problems with my ATI card.
[09:23] <tupa> I'm doing an installation, but I can't make the install application to read my usb card
[09:23] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: k, btw if that's a prodigy reference cool :)
[09:23] <Sonjeev_> fyrestartr
[09:23] <Sonjeev_> what driver do you use
[09:23] <Jordan_U> fyrestrtr, That doesn't change the fact that I an many others do
[09:23] <fyrestrtr> and the drivers, although not great -- do work; and yes, it is :)
[09:23] <tupa> to read from my usb card, I saved the iso there, and booted from USB instead of a CD rom
[09:23] <deh> zomgz!!!!!
[09:23] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, Are you using fglrx?
[09:23] <deh> i made it!!!!
[09:23] <deh> oh yes!!
[09:23] <fyrestrtr> tupa: to mount the iso, mount -t auto -o loop somefile.iso /some/directory
[09:24] <Sonjeev_> i tried that....but it didnt change anything. on boot my monitor led goes orange and screen goes black
[09:24] <Meta4ical> Jordan_U: How do I know which bus identifier to use? I'm afraid the default might be for a second monitor
[09:24] <Sonjeev_> im wondering if somehow my lcd monitor needs to be set up?
[09:24] <tupa> fyrestrtr do you know what directory does install reads as a disk?
[09:24] <Jordan_U> Meta4ical, I don't know, I am a single monitor man :(
[09:24] <tupa> or does it read directly from /dev/hd?
[09:25] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: its PCI:3:0:0 for your BusID
[09:25] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, What have you tried so far?
[09:25] <Meta4ical> are you positive? I've got 2 entries 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 715f
[09:25] <Meta4ical> 03:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 717f
[09:25] <Meta4ical> I apologize that should've been one line
[09:25] <deh> pardon me.... but i'm a bit lost... how do i add a user?
[09:25] <Jordan_U> fyrestrtr, Where are you getting that from?
[09:25] <fyrestrtr> I am guessing it is dual headed.
[09:25] <Sonjeev_> ive done "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" like 5x and changed a bunch of stuff
[09:25] <Meta4ical> ati radeon x1550 pci-e card? ;o
[09:25] <Sonjeev_> no luck
[09:26] <Jordan_U> deh, System -> Administration -> Users and Groups
[09:26] <Meta4ical> I've got 2 entries for ATI, you're positive? :P
[09:26] <deh> i dnt have a gui
[09:26] <fyrestrtr> well its not a big deal if it doesn't work.
[09:26] <Sonjeev_> lspci says 01:00.0 VG compatible controller: ATI Tech INC R480
[09:26] <Meta4ical> ok
[09:26] <fyrestrtr> if it doesn't work on 3:0:0 then its 3:0:1
[09:26] <deh> sorry.. Jordan_U, i dnt have a gui
[09:26] <Sonjeev_> and 01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Tech INc 480
[09:26] <Jordan_U> Meta4ical, Ok, I guess it doesn't work when you restart X ?
[09:27] <Jordan_U> deh, adduser
[09:27] <Meta4ical> I'm still creating a new xorg.conf with that config
[09:27] <deh> oh ok thank you
[09:27] <Jordan_U> deh, np
[09:27] <Meta4ical> use kernel framebuffer device? y/n ?
[09:27] <Jordan_U> Meta4ical, Just keep the default
[09:27] <Elliot_M> MikeRotch ye that thread isn very helpful ne other ideas?
[09:27] <Sonjeev_> interestingly, if i run "X" i get a gray screen with an X for a cursor
[09:28] <Sonjeev_> but the screen i see is empty
[09:28] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, Interesting... What happens when you run "startx" ?
[09:28] <ndan> is there a way to force unmounting even if the device "which isn't busy" saying its busy?
[09:28] <Meta4ical> Ah I'm lost with what mouseport to choose
[09:29] <Meta4ical> I have a logitehc mx400, it's a usb laser mouse?
[09:29] <Jordan_U> Meta4ical, Anything you don't know keep default
[09:29] <Sonjeev_> LOL......that launched me into a desktop
[09:29] <Sonjeev_> WTF....
[09:29] <Meta4ical> the default was/is ps/2 -
[09:29] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: yes, it is.
[09:29] <Meta4ical> that's definetly not my mouse = /
[09:30] <Sonjeev_> Jordan,...so that worked, any idea whats gonig on?
[09:30] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: your mouse driver is ImPS/2
[09:30] <Meta4ical> thank you lol
[09:30] <Sonjeev_> am i going to have to do that every time?
[09:30] <Sonjeev_> to launch ubuntu?
[09:30] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, No, if that works then it should just work when you boot, can you try rebooting again just to be sure?
[09:30] <Sonjeev_> ok ill try right now
[09:30] <fyrestrtr> Sonjeev_: instead of rebooting
[09:30] <grigora> hi, I have a simpletech external drive and I would like to connect to it through the network, any ideas on how to do that? thanks
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> Sonjeev_: type this sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[09:31] <ProN00b> has anyone who used ntfs-3g write ever had data corruption or any other problems with it ? (i am asking for actual experiences, not hear-say)
[09:31] <Jordan_U> fyrestrtr, That won't work correctly because he has started X seperately from the GDM and I would like to test it without other variables
[09:31] <tupa> is there a distro to use linux while running windows?
[09:32] <fyrestrtr> Jordan_U: well he has to kill it first then.
[09:32] <ProN00b> tupa, you mean running linux inside windows ?
[09:32] <fyrestrtr> tupa: install vmware on Windows and then install any distro you like in the virtual machine.
 yes
[09:32] <tupa> I have seen some distro that does this
[09:33] <Sonjeev_> Jordan, i rebooted
[09:33] <Sonjeev_> screen went black and led went orange
[09:33] <tupa> a friend broke his PC and he has no CD-Drive to install ubuntu
[09:33] <ProN00b> tupa, fyrestrtr said it, you use a vm (virtual machine, imagine it as a simulated pc in a window), and then any distro that can do it
[09:33] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, Strange, did you see the splash screen at all?
[09:33] <Lustblader> hey.. where should i drop in suggestions for the ktorrent client???
[09:33] <ProN00b> tupa, well, there are programs to install ubuntu from windows without the need for a cd
[09:33] <Sonjeev_> no, i see at the top loading kernel for a second
[09:33] <Sonjeev_> then the screen goes dead
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> Lustblader: in launchpad
[09:34] <Lustblader> fyrestrtr: so i have to register???
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> Sonjeev_: what do you mean by 'goes dead'?
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> Lustblader: yes.
[09:34] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, OK, then the boot splash might be causing the problem
[09:34] <Lustblader> oh kie
[09:34] <Sonjeev_> the screen like losses signal
[09:34] <Sonjeev_> and the led goes orange which means power-save
[09:34] <Lustblader> thx fyrestrtr
[09:34] <Lustblader> bye all
[09:34] <Sonjeev_> what is boot splash?
[09:35] <Meta4ical> fyre: I finished with the xorg.conf
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> Sonjeev_: the ubuntu logo that you see when the computer is booting with the progress bar.
[09:35] <deh> I'm sorry Jordan_U... are you still there? i have a question regaurding "adduser"
[09:35] <Meta4ical> I had to do some research for my vertical/horizontal ranges etc but I foudn them
[09:35] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, reboot again but this time when you see the grub menu press "e" to edit the kernel and "e" again to edit the long line and remove the "splash" at the end of it
[09:35] <Sonjeev_> ok
[09:36] <Meta4ical> Jordan_U, fyrestrtr: What's next?
[09:36] <deh> what on earth is this room number it wants me to enter?
[09:36] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: post the new xorg.conf at pastebin (or update your forum thread)
[09:36] <Jordan_U> Meta4ical, Have you tried restarting X?
[09:36] <Meta4ical> not yet
[09:36] <Jordan_U> Meta4ical, run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[09:36] <ProN00b> tupa, http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=198355 this is a windows installer for Ubuntu
[09:36] <Meta4ical> Here you go: http://pastebin.com/d5d9f1768
[09:37] <Meta4ical> I'd rather wait till you review the xorg.conf if you don't mind :P
[09:37] <Jordan_U> !wubi | tupa ProN00b
[09:37] <Meta4ical> black screens are no fun
[09:37] <ubotu> tupa ProN00b: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[09:37] <tupa> Jordan_U that's exactly what I was looking for, didn't remember the name :P
[09:37] <deh> does room number have any real significance? or is it a pointless number
[09:37] <Meta4ical> I have 19" Compaq S920 and got the information for my vertical/horizontal ranges on a product information page
[09:37] <ritzcracker> hi
[09:38] <Jordan_U> deh, pointless
[09:38] <deh> might that be sarcasm, or are you serious?
[09:38] <Meta4ical> deh: I have a feeling that information is only important if you're connected to a LAN in a frat lol
[09:38] <phreck> wtf
[09:38] <deh> lol
[09:38] <deh> umm
[09:39] <deh> its for a server
[09:39] <Sonjeev_> Jordan, removing splash works!
[09:39] <phreck> i have an amd mk-36 proc
[09:39] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: add this to your xorg.conf, Section "ServerLayout" Option "AIGLX" "false" EndSection
[09:39] <phreck> what kernel should i be running
[09:39] <Jordan_U> deh, It is only used by programs to set a default much like how your full name is used as your real name by default in xchat
[09:39] <Meta4ical> all one line?
[09:39] <Sonjeev_> i cant believe i just spent 3 hours trying to download drivers and all i had to do was delete splash
[09:39] <Sonjeev_> i want to kill myself
[09:39] <ritzcracker> lol
[09:39] <fyrestrtr> well it doesn't matter, but I'll edit your pastebin
[09:39] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, Ok, now to make it permanent
[09:39] <Meta4ical> oh, alright
[09:39] <deh> oh
[09:40] <deh> I see
[09:40] <deh> it's
[09:40] <ritzcracker> anyone have experince with the sattelite p205-s2736
[09:40] <deh> alright
[09:40] <Sonjeev_> what do i need to do
[09:40] <ritzcracker> and ubuntu
[09:40] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, In a run dialog run "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[09:40] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: Thanks, but I recall when I was following a guide for fglrx that DRI had to be disabled or something, I left the defaults and _think_ it may be enabled now, just as the guide said composite should be disabled too
[09:40] <tbaur> out of interest
[09:40] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: http://pastebin.com/d6784916d
[09:40] <deh> lol... i thought it had some metaphorical significance
[09:40] <mbuh`kahh> hhhhh
[09:41] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: if you enable it via restricted-manager, then you don't change anything in xorg.conf.
[09:41] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, Then look for a line like "# defoptions=quiet splash" and remove the splash portion
[09:41] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: it will do whatever is required.
[09:41] <ericmt578> Jordan_U: Hey thank you. It works perfectly.
[09:41] <deh> I have a 10 GB partition that i diregaurded during installation... how do i access it?
[09:41] <Sonjeev_> jordan, whats a run dialog? i typed that into a terminal
[09:41] <Sonjeev_> and its prompting me for a password?
[09:41] <krzee> hey ive been working on my ubuntu installation on my dual-boot macbook-pro setup... right now im trying to turn up my fans, the docs all say to use /sys/devices/platform/applesmc/fan0_minimum_speed, but I do not have applesmc module, I installed 6.06, could someone point me in the right direction?
[09:42] <ritzcracker> Would anyone mind helping me out if they have a chance. I have pretty much got my res on my external monitor and my laptop tft where I want it. However I can not seem to get both monitors to work at the same time and I know there is a way I am sure its something simple I am missing
[09:42] <Jordan_U> ericmt578, no
[09:42] <krzee> (to installing the applesmc module that is)
[09:42] <Jordan_U> ericmt578, *np :)
[09:42] <Meta4ical> ok fyre: what do I do now? ;o
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> ritzcracker: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Toshiba
[09:42] <ticnailer> ok so I went in to the driver manager and the driver for the sond card is not in there... what can I do?
[09:42] <pawan> cannot start synaptic manager
[09:42] <Meta4ical> Or how do I restartx or something to see if it works
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: once you have saved the file, type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[09:42] <ticnailer> also the driver for the wireless is not installed...
[09:42] <ritzcracker> thx
[09:43] <Sonjeev_> what is the default root password?
[09:43] <Meta4ical> If I'm not back immediately you know I ran into a black screen, so please be kind as I backup the old xorg.conf :P
[09:43] <Jordan_U> krzee, Don't use dapper on a macbook pro, it is more trouble than it's worth and on a macbook pro will probably be less stable too

[09:43] <Jordan_U> !root | Sonjeev_
[09:43] <ubotu> Sonjeev_: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[09:43] <pawan> pawan@pawan-desktop:~$ dpkg --configure -a
[09:43] <pawan> dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[09:43] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: Um? one line of output      sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[09:43] <ritzcracker> actually you can use sudo passwd root
[09:43] <Meta4ical> oops
[09:43] <krzee> Jordan_U damn, seems good so far, would you suggest feisty?
[09:43] <ritzcracker> set a new root password
[09:44] <Meta4ical>  * Starting GNOME Display Manager...                                     [ OK ] 
[09:44] <ritzcracker> then just su to root
[09:44] <Meta4ical> that's all I got
[09:44] <ritzcracker> btw that wiki page does not display my laptop model :(
[09:44] <Sonjeev_> i used gksudo  gedit
[09:44] <Jordan_U> krzee, Yes, X will fail when you first boot, but to fix that you just need to install fglrx
[09:44] <Sonjeev_> and its prompting me fo rthe pw?
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: not ctrl+alt+f7
[09:44] <Sonjeev_> so what do i do?
[09:44] <ticnailer> does anyone know the step to installing a wireless driver?
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: *now* hit ctrl+alt+f7
[09:44] <Meta4ical> ok
[09:44] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: That didn't do anything? :(
[09:45] <Jordan_U> Sonjeev_, It isn't asking for the root password, it is asking for your user's password
[09:45] <krzee> ok, I have been using wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro for reference, should i continue to use that page or do you have something better i should use?
[09:45] <pawan> how to repair synaptic manager
[09:45] <grigora> anyone knows how to mount an nfs share off of a SimpleTech external drive?
[09:45] <Sonjeev_> oh, dug
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: what do you see? a black screen? a cursor blinking?
[09:45] <Sonjeev_> duh*
[09:45] <krzee> thanx for that side note, wrote it down
[09:45] <ritzcracker> hey krzee
[09:45] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: absolutely NOTHING happened when I did it, : P
[09:45] <lindog> hi guys   i am new to ubuntu and trying to resolve wireless network card - new installation/got stuck on root password i am sure i didn't set it
[09:45] <Elliot_M> k thnx for ur help
[09:45] <Elliot_M> bye

[09:46] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: I closed that window after I told you the output
[09:46] <krzee> df, parted
[09:46] <Jordan_U> krzee, I personally don't like some of the things that page suggests, wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBook is much better though some things do not apply ( though the only big difference is that the macbook pro uses an ATI card )
[09:46] <fyrestrtr> deh: mount
[09:46] <Meta4ical> my screen didn't blink or flicker or refresh etc, it's just as if I never did ctrl + alt + f7
[09:46] <deh> i simply type mount?

[10:21] <ubu> Jordan_U, how do u config mouseemu?
[10:22] <Jordan_U> caner, If you haven't set up ndis wrapper yet and your card is supported by the drivers then you should just be able to install that package reboot ( or reload the driver manually ) and use your card

[10:23] <Akuma_> anyone heard of someone testing ubuntu on the Asus eee PC ?
[10:23] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr, I couldn't get the log because it went to a blck screen
[10:24] <Akuma_> phiras: synaptics, or add/remove
[10:24] <slytherin> DjDarkman: It depends on which sound card you are using and if you have enabled the microphone form sound control options
[10:24] <slytherin> phiras: Synaptic
[10:24] <Jordan_U> ubu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook Is all I know ( search the page for mouseemu )
[10:24] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr, I KNOW i used the same xorg.conf as before because none of the others had the refresh rates I specified, so it's like the same config got 2 different things =/
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: you need to open another terminal ctrl+alt+f2, login, and then grab it.
[10:25] <Eltran> U LIEK TO EAT TEA ?

[10:30] <Myrtti> Eltran: behave!
[10:30] <caner> Jordan_U i downloaded fwcutter an it fetched the driver, i rebooted the system but still not working. do you think it can be because i am using amd64 system?
[10:30] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr, you mean the (EE)'s i manually told you?
[10:31] <Jordan_U> caner, Shouldn't make any difference, do you have ndiswrapper installed?
[10:31] <slytherin> me_: It should be mounted automatically
[10:31] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: yes.
[10:31] <slytherin> me_: I mean when you insert a DVD
[10:31] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr, the first time I booted up with the new xorg.conf it went into a login prompt, i logged in and did startx manually, at which point i got a blue screen and the syntax errors ;p
[10:32] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: why are you using startx?
[10:32] <me_> slytherin: i know but... there is no dvd device. linux didnt reconize one.
[10:32] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr, that was just one time instance, it's never booted into the command line like that unless i go into recovery mode
[10:32] <deh> if i mount /dev/hda3 to /usr/ekap, AND i set ekap's home directory to /dev/hda3, will that like.... double assure that ekap's home is hda3?
[10:32] <caner> Jordan_U yes i have installed it and extracted the .inf file from the executable of the windows driver. then i installed it (using a ui of ndiswrapper) it installed the driver but there writes"hardware present:no" does this make any sense?
[10:34] <Jordan_U> caner, I don't think that bcm43xx ( the native driver ) will work with NDISwrapper installed but I also don't know if your sepcific chipset is supported
[10:34] <rancidlm> is it possible to bind the powerbutton to do the poweroff command?
[10:34] <ritzcracker> anyone got any ideas?
[10:34] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: okay, then lets start with disabling the auto-start of X when you boot.

[10:35] <me_> i think there is no dvd device :(  http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/13295/

[10:35] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: from a console, sudo update-rc.d gdm remove
[10:35] <remco> are there known problems with certain brands of 6800 GT cards with regard to crashing and garbage on screen just before the installation screen?
[10:35] <lsproc> I am trying to install the binary nvidia drivers (as my card is unsupported by the restricted manager ones), but when X starts, it dies saying that nvidiactl can not be found or the device does not exist
[10:35] <slytherin> me_: At least try inserting a DVD
[10:35] <rancidlm> i have a ubuntu server pc that has no mouse kbrd and monitor.. but i when i am not using it i would like it to shutdown properly.. is there  a way i can bind the powerbutton to do a poper shutdown?

[10:37] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: then reboot the machine to make sure it worked.
[10:37] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: you should get the console prompt.
[10:37] <Meta4ical> ok, anything you want me to do while i'm there?

[10:42] <ritzcracker> where are all those gurus at ;)
[10:42] <me_> ttilus: there is a UNCLAIMED by my ide device... does this mean that my ide controller doesnt work?
[10:42] <TTilus> me_: there is SATA with one disk and IDE with no devices
[10:42] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: save this in your home directory as fglrx-base.conf
[10:42] <busta305> can any 1 help me?
[10:42] <me_> ttilus: but its not the ide controller himself?
[10:42] <Meta4ical> k
[10:42] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf (cp ~/fglrx-base.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[10:43] <TTilus> me_: dunno what it _really_ means, but i'd say it just does not have any devices attached
[10:43] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: start gdm ( sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start )
[10:43] <me_> ttilus: i know i got a harddisc with sata and a dvd drive with ide

[10:43] <MikeRotch> are there any other desktops kind of like XFCE?
[10:44] <TTilus> me_: you _have_ a dvd drive?
[10:44] <busta305> can any 1 tell me how change screen resolution for an sdtv?
[10:44] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: see what happens. If your system is responsive (which means, your keyboard works and ctrl+alt+f1 brings you back to your login screen), then cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/fglrx-base.log -- and pastebin that so I can see it.
[10:44] <TTilus> me_: has it ever worked?
[10:44] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: if your system is not responding, tell me that too so I can tell you how to debug that.
[10:45] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: not responding means -- complete freeze -- keyboard doesn't work (caps lock light doesn't come on, etc.)
[10:45] <me_> ttilus: on windows yes, in the bios its listed and i instaled my linux with this drive...
[10:45] <TTilus> me_: if the dvd _has_ worked, where?
[10:45] <ritzcracker> hey fyrestrtr do you think when you are finished helping meta4ical you can lend me a hand I dont mind staying up but I do not know how much longer you plan to be online
[10:45] <busta305> i need help with screen resolution
[10:45] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: a black screen != not responding :)
[10:45] <fyrestrtr> its is only 11:45 here.
[10:45] <caner> hey Jordan_U if my car is supported by ndiswrapper does that mean i can use my card to connect a wireless network?? or anything more is required?? i am sorry if this is a silly question but i am confused..
[10:45] <TTilus> me_: whoa, if you managed to install, then its definitely working, what happens if you insert cd or dvd?
[10:45] <busta305> can any 1 help me pls
[10:45] <ritzcracker> ok ill stay up
[10:46] <fyrestrtr> ritzcracker: what is your issue?
[10:46] <me_> ttilus: i think it worked once. but not any more
[10:46] <me_> ttilus: maybe the installation is using another kernel
[10:46] <TTilus> busta305: do not ask if anyone can help, just ask your question or state your problem
[10:46] <busta305> can any1 help me pls

[10:48] <dimebar> MikeRotch: fluxbox? enlightenment?
[10:48] <Jordan_U> caner, If your card is supported by NDISwrapper then it is possible to get it to work, but ndiswrapper can be hard to configure whereas cards like those from intel work with no configuration at all
[10:48] <busta305> can any 1 help me change the screen resolution on my ps3?
[10:48] <Joelwork> where does the gnome session , store its startup programs?
[10:48] <Joelwork> where does the gnome session , store its startup program settings , that I set through the sessions UI?
[10:48] <me_> ttilus: and i tryed everyting else. e.g. /dev/sr0 /dev/hdx ...
[10:48] <TTilus> fyrestrtr: drive does not work, and its not mounting automatically
[10:49] <ritzcracker> fyrestrtr: i have many diff logs I am not sure which is what
[10:49] <ritzcracker> for xorg
[10:49] <me_> fyrestrtr: because nothing happens if i dont mount it
[10:49] <TTilus> me_: do you _have_ any /dev/hd* devices?
[10:49] <me_> ttilus: no
[10:49] <me_> ttilus: thats the prob i have nothing which could be the dvd device
[10:49] <me_> http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/13294/
[10:50] <busta305> i need help changing the screen resolution on my ps3
[10:50] <Frogzoo> busta305: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[10:50] <caner> thank Jordan_U i think i have to read the whole documentation for ndiswrapper
[10:50] <stefg> me_: have you already inspected dmesg ?
[10:50] <x89x> can anoyne help me with my video drivers ??
[10:50] <ritzcracker> its a pretty big log file
[10:50] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: Ok wish me luck :P
[10:50] <ritzcracker> should i paste it in here
[10:50] <ritzcracker> or show you another way
[10:50] <TTilus> me_: could you pastebin your lsmod output
[10:51] <stefg> !paste
[10:51] <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)
[10:51] <TTilus> me_: and lspci too
[10:51] <x89x> can anoyne help me with my video drivers ??
[10:51] <me_> ttilus: http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/13297/
[10:51] <ritzcracker> pastebin
[10:51] <Jordan_U> caner, You could try asking in #ndiswrapper but they will probably tell you to compile ndiswrapper from source, which is not easy
[10:52] <caner> kjh
[10:52] <Frogzoo> x89x: we don't know what your problem is
[10:52] <caner> thank you Jordan_U anyway i have to try
[10:52] <TTilus> !anyone | busta305
[10:52] <ubotu> busta305: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:53] <x89x> Frogzoo : i have a via K8M890 chipset. i wnat the video drivers
[10:53] <fyrestrtr> ritzcracker: grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log > ~/xorg-dualscreen.log and then post that to a pastebin.
[10:53] <x89x> i got a link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome
[10:53] <me_> ttilus: http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/13298/
[10:53] <Ind[y] > When I apt-get update I get 404 Not Found errors. Will this be fixed later, or I must do something?
[10:53] <TTilus> busta305: sorry, a late call  :(
[10:53] <fyrestrtr> Ind[y] : on which url?
[10:53] <ritzcracker> fyrestrtr: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32002/
[10:53] <Ind[y] > fyrestrtr: gr.archive.ubuntu.com
[10:53] <stefg> me_: look at line 354 of your dmesg paste: [ 24.401603]  ata3: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
[10:54] <Ind[y] > fyrestrtr: There isn't even http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ (that gives 404 too).
[10:54] <lsprociam> When I try to load the nvidia binary driver (manually installed), it says it can not load nvidiactl
[10:54] <Jordan_U> caner, If you happen to have any intel cards lying around anywhere you might want to swap out your broadcom card with it :) Good luck though
[10:54] <busta305> when i tried to reconfiguere  the x server thingy it didnt find nothing
[10:54] <lsprociam> No such device or address
[10:55] <fyrestrtr> Ind[y] : change your sources to point to a different mirror
[10:55] <fyrestrtr> ritzcracker: pastebin your xorg.conf
[10:55] <me_> stefg: hm and what shall this line tell me? ( i thought my dvd is not sata... normally it should be ide)
[10:55] <ritzcracker> ok one second
[10:55] <fyrestrtr> ritzcracker: and output of lspci
[10:55] <Ind[y] > fyrestrtr: Won't this mirror be fixed?
[10:55] <fyrestrtr> it is probably temporary.
[10:55] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: Complete lockup ... I tried ctrl+alt+f1 all the way to 0 and nothing
[10:56] <busta305> what is the lowest resolution that u can put??
[10:56] <DjDarkman> alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument
[10:56] <deh> umm..... I have a router... (192.168.0.1) and i want my machine to be 192.168.0.242....  uuuummmm..... how?
[10:56] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: Could I have my GDM back now lol? or should I keep it off
[10:56] <DjDarkman> what does this mean?
[10:56] <Ind[y] > fyrestrtr: I hope so. If this has not been fixed until tommorow, I will change my sources.
[10:56] <caner> Jordan_U i think i can not dig into my laptop since i can not even install a driver for it. yes i know i am dumb :)
[10:56] <TTilus> me_: the ide adapter sure is there
[10:56] <TTilus> me_: where's your lsmod paste?
[10:56] <Jordan_U> caner, Oh, forgot it was a lappy :(
[10:56] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: keep it off for now. We need to reinstall fglrx. How did you install it initially?
[10:57] <Jordan_U> caner, Any pcmcia cards lying around ? :)
[10:57] <fyrestrtr> deh: system > administration > network
[10:57] <bcbooter> I LOVE UBUNTU
[10:57] <me_> ttilus: http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/13299/
[10:57] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: I initially installed it through the restricted drivers manager, when I followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[10:57] <bcbooter> I LOVE U
[10:57] <busta305> can any 1 pls help me install java ?
[10:57] <deh> fyrestrtr: I dnt have a gui
[10:57] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: when it did not work, I did as it was advised and followed the install for 6.10
[10:58] <stefg> me_:  Without knowinf the details it tells you that the motherboard doesn't see sata ports 2 and 3. there might be some interface from ide to sata on the mobo. Checked the hardware for loose cables / connectors?
[10:58] <TTilus> busta305: 800x600 should always work (if anything)
[10:58] <busta305> how do i install java?
[10:58] <busta305> o
[10:58] <dimebar> busta305: on feisty?
[10:58] <Jordan_U> !java > busta305
[10:58] <busta305> yes
[10:58] <deh> lol
[10:58] <ritzcracker> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32003/ there is my xorg conf and under it is the lspci
[10:58] <gordonjcp> busta305: read what the bot just told you ;-)
[10:59] <Cokashmola> could anyone help me get alsamixer to load?
[10:59] <bytecode> !help
[10:59] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[10:59] <me_> stefg: its not that easy because its a notebook. and as it told before its working with win xp. so i dont think there a probs with the cable or something else
[10:59] <fyrestrtr> ritzcracker: errm ... how did you generate this xorg.conf?
[10:59] <deh> vi?
[10:59] <ritzcracker> by using displaymanger
[11:00] <ritzcracker> i forgot to backup my oringal
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> well it is not right.
[11:00] <busta305> ttilus my current screen resolution is 576*384 and i cant change it
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> for one, it thinks you have two cards in your system.
[11:00] <stefg> me_: ok, there are no cables for this then. So the kernel doesn't see the ide interface...
[11:00] <TTilus> me_: when i compare to mine, you seem to be lacking modules cdrom and ide_cd
[11:00] <Cokashmola> when i type alsamixer on the command line, i get the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[11:00] <deh> can anyone help me set my IP(dnt have a GUI)
[11:00] <Cokashmola> any suggestions?
[11:00] <TTilus> me_: try $ sudo modprobe cdrom and see what gives
[11:00] <gordonjcp> deh: what are you trying to do?
[11:00] <fyrestrtr> deh: what is your ethernet device?
[11:01] <deh> umm
[11:01] <deh> i'm tryin 2 make my IP 192.168.0.242
[11:01] <fyrestrtr> ritzcracker: is X running at all?
[11:01] <ritzcracker> yes
[11:01] <ritzcracker> its running on my external monitor thats it
[11:01] <me_> ttilus: nothing :(
[11:01] <TTilus> busta305: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:01] <deh> gordonjcp:I'm trying to make my IP 192.168.0.242
[11:02] <TTilus> me_: which means it was a success
[11:02] <me_> ttilus: ah rly
[11:02] <TTilus> me_: now $ lsmod | grep ide
[11:02] <deh> umm
[11:02] <defcon> anyone upgrade to kernel 2.6.23 ? is it ok?
[11:02] <TTilus> me_: see anything?
[11:02] <mOrO^> which is easier to install a tar.gz or an .rpm?
[11:02] <defcon> mOrO^, rpm
[11:02] <me_> ttilus: http://www.ubuntuusers.de/paste/13300/
[11:02] <TTilus> mOrO^: what do you want to install?
[11:03] <defcon> mOrO^, rpm -vhU *.rpm
[11:03] <jussi01> m0tar.gz
[11:03] <defcon> thats it
[11:03] <jussi01> mOrO^: tar.gz
[11:03] <defcon> well if u like to compile
[11:03] <dns_56> use alien to convert rpm to deb
[11:03] <defcon> make ; make install
[11:03] <stefg> defcon: you're loosing all restricted drivers from the repos if you do so. Know how to get your wifi/video working on your own?
[11:03] <jussi01> mOrO^: rpm may be easier, but not better
[11:03] <Cokashmola> when i type alsamixer into the command line i get the message :alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[11:03] <ritzcracker> i found my oringal xorg conf
[11:03] <ritzcracker> one sec pasteing
[11:03] <TTilus> mOrO^: usually you do not _have_ to use either, you have a lot easier way to install sw to your box, apt
[11:03] <defcon> sefg yes I know how
[11:03] <mOrO^> dns_56: I should install alien?
[11:03] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: do you want me to repost what i said or are you busy atm?
[11:03] <deh> i VI'd "/etc/network/interfaces" but t3h dood who told me to do that went 2 bed.... what do i do now?
[11:04] <Cokashmola> when i type alsamixer into the command line i get the message :alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[11:04] <ritzcracker> fyrestrtr: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32004/
[11:04] <dns_56> it is up to you, alien does a better job than just using rpm, source might be cleaner
[11:04] <TTilus> mOrO^: what's the software you want to install?
[11:04] <stefg> defcon: so give it a try, you can always revert to the stock kernel if you run into trouble
[11:04] <mOrO^> TTilus: gnomealize
[11:04] <mOrO^> actually gnormalize
[11:05] <deh> gordonjcp: can j00 help me?
[11:05] <TTilus> mOrO^: and you are sure there's no debian package for it?
[11:05] <jussi01> !rpm | mOrO^
[11:05] <ubotu> mOrO^: 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)
[11:05] <nicle_> mOrO^: suggest using the tar.gz
[11:05] <dns_56> it's perl based, it should not matter that much
[11:06] <mOrO^> ttilus: no Im not.
[11:06] <TTilus> me_: that does _not_ look good  :(  it did not load cdrom module
[11:06] <fyrestrtr> ritzcracker: I have no idea what is going on there, but that is not a dual screen setup. Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo?highlight=%28Xinerama%29#head-293c9ec6c621bad38a16cfc937e194152d875966
[11:06] <busta305> where do i type this " sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jre" to install java?
[11:06] <Cokashmola> could osmeone help me?
[11:06] <deh> I really need help! My family's going to the beach in a few hours, and i want to be able to ssh into my machine b4 i leave!! CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP!?
[11:06] <mOrO^> !APT
[11:06] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[11:06] <gordonjcp> deh: sorry, was in another window
[11:06] <TTilus> mOrO^: you really should first look for deb package, it's native to ubuntu
[11:06] <nicle_> mOrO^: the rpm dep maybe make you crazy
[11:06] <gordonjcp> deh: why do you need to set the IP address to something that specific?
[11:06] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: do you want me to repost what i said or are you busy atm?
[11:07] <ritzcracker> ok thx
[11:07] <TTilus> !anybody | deh
[11:07] <ubotu> deh: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[11:07] <Cokashmola> when i type alsamixer into the command line i get the message :alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[11:07] <mOrO^> niccle:: OK, Im convinced... thanks.'
[11:07] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: what is the status? Have you reinstall fglrx?
[11:07] <gordonjcp> TTilus: actually he already asked a question...
[11:07] <blackest> I just got a Buffalo whr-g54s router anyone suggest which firmware is best in their opinion and why for it?
[11:07] <me_> ttilus: hm k :( so... is there any chance to fix this?
[11:07] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: no, you asked how i initially installed it :P
[11:07] <bytecode> nicle_: isn't there an advantage through using alien though, in that the use of a converted deb allows your package manager to "know" that you've installed the software, where as using the tgz bypasses your package manager entirely and dirties up your system with untracked installations and components??
[11:07] <Cokashmola> when i type alsamixer into the command line i get the message :alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[11:07] <Cokashmola> any suggestions?
[11:08] <gordonjcp> deh: try googling for something like "ubuntu set static ip"
[11:08] <deh> gordonjcp: i did
[11:08] <deh> but i doesn't seem to have worked
[11:08] <deh> gordonjcp: I installed ssh
[11:08] <TTilus> mOrO^: http://gnormalize.sourceforge.net/ says "A Debian package for gnormalize can be found at http://sponsors.debian.net/viewpkg.php?id=204 ", i'd say you go for that
[11:08] <Meta4ical> yrestrtr: do you want me to repost what i said or are you busy atm?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[11:08] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr:*
[11:09] <deh> gordonjcp: then i set the IP
[11:09] <Meta4ical> oh wow..
[11:09] <TTilus> deh: did you install ssh _server_?
[11:09] <Cokashmola> when i type alsamixer into the command line i get the message :alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device....any suggestions?
[11:09] <busta305> how do i install java for ppc?
[11:09] <Meta4ical> i'm beginning to despite the paste in ubuntu as it barely seems to work
[11:09] <mOrO^> ttilus: Thanks for the url.
[11:09] <TTilus> me_: i do not really have an idea  :(  i'd go for forums next
[11:09] <deh> gordonjcp: i did "apt-get install ssh"
[11:09] <fyrestrtr> !java | busta305 (read this>)
[11:09] <lsprociam> When I modprobe the nvidia module (manually installed), nothing happens, no acknowledgement in dmesg
[11:09] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: You asked how I initially installed the drivers, and I replied I tried both methods for 7.04 and 6.10 of this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[11:10] <Cokashmola> when i type alsamixer into the command line i get the message :alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device....any suggestions?
[11:10] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[11:10] <Meta4ical> 7.04
[11:10] <TTilus> deh: you need ssh-server on the box you want to connect to
[11:10] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: 7.04 *
[11:10] <bytecode> Meta4ical: have you tried using glipper for managing your clipboard?
[11:10] <deh> o0o
[11:10] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: why would you follow the instructions for 6.10 ??
[11:10] <busta305> read wat
[11:10] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: I followed them AFTER 7.04 and it advised me too if the instructions for 7.04 didn't work
[11:10] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: I'm sorry don't hit me ><
[11:10] <me_> ttilus: kk thx anyway
[11:11] <fyrestrtr> *sigh*
[11:11] <ritzcracker> fyrestrtr the i810switch doesnt work on my system :(

[11:12] <TTilus> defcon: what do you mean by "sort them out"
[11:12] <TTilus> deh: no, sudo apt-get install ssh-server
[11:12] <defcon> TTilus, I need to know which is needed

[11:13] <busta305> can any 1 tell me how to install java for ps3?

[11:13] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: and here's where the guide said follow 6.10 instructions -- "This will hopefully enable fglrx in a painless way. If not, follow the instructions for Edgy."
[11:13] <defcon> cool
[11:13] <fyrestrtr> defcon: don't start disabling stuff at random, it will lead to headaches.
[11:13] <TTilus> defcon: if you think you have excess software on you box use package manager of your choise (synaptic or like) to remove unused packages
[11:14] <defcon> fyrestrtr, thankyou
[11:14] <busta305> can any 1 tell me how to install java for the ps3 pls

[11:17] <busta305> well can u tell me how to install it?
[11:17] <defcon> wep or wpa caner?
[11:18] <dns_56> it is suppost to be in apt, apt-get install sun-java5-bin
[11:18] <Meta4ical> busta305: I'm just a newb myself, I really don't know
[11:18] <Meta4ical> defcon: WPA! :)
[11:18] <busta305> =O
[11:18] <busta305> o
[11:18] <RaVeN_> =[::SoulRaven::] => hi! cool nick! ;-)
[11:18] <Meta4ical> defcon: I'm a newbie and even I know that one :P
[11:18] <defcon> hehe
[11:18] <deh> TTilus: "* Starting OenBSD Secure Shell server...               [fail"
[11:18] <busta305> any 1 pls tell me
[11:18] <hollandlucas> busta305: It says on the wiki page
[11:18] <TTilus> busta305: i do not.  i'd guess nobody online can.  maybe you should try searching forums and then asking there.  if you are really in burning hurry you might try commercial support alternatives
[11:19] <caner> defcon main problem is that i think i can get the wireless driver work?
[11:19] <dns_56> busta305: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaPPC
[11:19] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: Are you still here?
[11:19] <busta305> ok but can yall help me with the resolution?
[11:20] <defcon> what wireless driver caner
[11:20] <wilrecar> can i use xfce on ubuntu edgy regular easily and without breaking something??
[11:20] <caner> i used ndiswrapper for broadcom 4311 but it gave no results defcon
[11:20] <HHK> HELLO
[11:20] <defcon> caner, so its not showing up as installed?
[11:20] <RaVeN_> hi
[11:20] <Meta4ical> HHK: Hi
[11:20] <dns_56> xfce has worked fine for years, worked in breezy
[11:20] <defcon> caner, try ndiswrapper -l
[11:20] <deh> TTilus: eeek were leaving for the beach in 70 min
[11:20] <defcon> does it show up?
[11:21] <deh> TTilus: we're
[11:21] <defcon> u need to modprobe ndiswrapper and echo ndiswrapper >>/etc/modules
[11:21] <caner> it installs with no errors but after (in the ui for ndiswrapper) there writes "hardware present:no"
[11:21] <wilrecar> thanks dns, but do i install in from synaptic?
[11:21] <caner> defcon
[11:21] <caner> i think those brodcom4311 are problematic
[11:21] <defcon> caner, I had the same problem, but it did work lol
[11:21] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: what error did you get when you tried it for 7.04
[11:22] <user2> strawberry_cute
[11:22] <dns_56> i think so, there should be xfce4 or maybe xubuntu-desktop package can't remember
[11:22] <wilrecar> roger that
[11:22] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: I didn't get ANY problems actually installing fglrx on my system, I recieved none, everything went smoothly -- other than the black screen
[11:22] <defcon> caner, It took me 2 weeks to find a working config for my wpa to work, here is what works for me in my /etc/network/interfaces file http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32006/
[11:22] <caner> defcon could you give me a link or smth to the instruction u used
[11:22] <caner> to get it work
[11:22] <TTilus> deh: "fail" umm, check /var/log/syslog (wasit?)
[11:22] <user2> ica_imoet
[11:23] <dns_56> i have software raid 5 and lvm over the md device where i currently have fedora and a few partitions, i would like to install ubuntu but feisty does not detect the lvm2, what should i do: install gutsy? use debian install cd? debootstrap from fedora?
[11:23] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: I can't open restricted driver manager anymore = /
[11:23] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: if you get a black screen, that's a resolution problem. If your computer completely hard-freezes, that's another thing entirely.
[11:23] <TTilus> deh: i cant really remember where sshd writes its log
[11:23] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: so you are telling me that with fglrx, your computer completely locks up?
[11:23] <defcon> caner, did u get your key with wpa_passphrase
[11:23] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: From my own newb experience, I'm thinking a hard-freeze, as I tried entering the password despite the black screen and NOTHING and your shortcuts to open a console gave nothing
[11:24] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: Also the harddrive appears to stop spinning -- but i can;t be sure on that one
[11:24] <TTilus> def: could be daemon.log too
[11:24] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: then the problem is with the module; let me look at some notes on it.
[11:24] <caner> defcon no i cant evet search to find wireless networks around
[11:24] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: Take your time, i'm doing my own googling / forum searching :P
[11:24] <deh> TTilus: hmmm
[11:24] <defcon> try iwlist wlan0 scan
[11:25] <TTilus> deh: why do you need to ssh?  could we accomplish the same some other way
[11:25] <danigm> hi all, someone know how can I see what chipset use my wireless card?
[11:25] <ritzcracker> okay now i really messed things up lol
[11:25] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: lets start from the top.
[11:25] <dns_56> dmesg and lspci will give a lot of info
[11:26] <defcon> caner, Here is a step by step tutorial for your network card http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281990
[11:26] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: k
[11:26] <TTilus> danigm: lspci could show it
[11:26] <bcbooter> anyone know if the ati tv wonder tv tuner is supported?
[11:26] <fyrestrtr> because I want to know exactly what is going on with your machine; type this > sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager
[11:26] <abhibera> > hi i'm using firefox 2.0.0.5 on edgy and i'm trying to develop a toolbar extension for firefox. when i go to Tools>Add-Ons, in the extensions window the extension name appears but the extension itself doesn't appear in my firefox
[11:26] <abhibera>  why?
[11:26] <caner> hey defcon i am using amd64 system. does that make any difference
[11:26] <defcon> caner, no
[11:26] <defcon> caner, check out this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281990
[11:27] <caner> thanks defcon let me give it a try
[11:27] <defcon> caner, np
[11:27] <caner> defcon ok
[11:27] <deh> could anyone tell me how to check why ssh won't run?
[11:27] <danigm> thanks
[11:27] <fyrestrtr> deh: ssh client or ssh server?
[11:28] <deh> fyrestrtr: server
[11:28] <fyrestrtr> deh: you need to install it.
[11:28] <deh> fyrestrtr: but it wnt run
[11:28] <TTilus> fyrestrtr: he has it
[11:28] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr:  I can't open anything Under System > Administration anymore :(
[11:28] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: huh?
[11:28] <defcon> once u get it working, this config worked for me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32006/ certain network cards dont work with network-manager or nm-applet although yours might, u can still get a connection without it
[11:28] <rausb0> deh: ssh oder sshd?
[11:29] <fyrestrtr> what do you mean 'can't open'?
[11:29] <TTilus> fyrestrtr: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start says failed for deh
[11:29] <ritzcracker> fyrestrtr: i810switch does not work, also i tried going to that page and setting things up simlar to the xorg on file there and that just kept X from loading at all
[11:29] <TTilus> rausb0: sshd
[11:29] <rausb0> deh: check if the package openssh-server is installed
[11:29] <fyrestrtr> TTilus: that is because you are in ubuntu, not some other distro
[11:29] <TTilus> rausb0: it is
[11:29] <Meta4ical> "Failed to run /usr/bin/restricted-maneger as user root" "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file."
[11:29] <dns_56> 1, is it running? /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[11:29] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: oh that's easy to solve.
[11:29] <Meta4ical> is this due to us disabling that gdm thing?
[11:30] <nicle_> deh: what's the output of "/etc/init.d/ssh restart"
[11:30] <Meta4ical> it worked before reboot ;o
[11:30] <TTilus> fyrestrtr: /lastlog deh, i have tried to help him, but dunno where sshd logs to debug why it does not start
[11:30] <fyrestrtr> deh: what do you get when you type this sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[11:30] <rausb0> TTilus: maybe the key files in /etc/ssh are missing
[11:31] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: log out of X
[11:31] <deh> fyrestrtr:[ ok ] ...... that mean its running?
[11:31] <dns_56> just reinstall it, apt-get --reinstall install openssh-server
[11:31] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: when you get back to your prompt, type /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:31] <fyrestrtr> deh: yes, it means its running
[11:31] <Meta4ical> ok brb
[11:31] <rausb0> deh: check the output of   pidof sshd
[11:31] <deh> fyrestrtr: hmmmm well i cnt ssh in from my mac :\
[11:31] <wilrecar> id like to replace gnome with another window manager, is it possible to do this without breaking anything?
[11:32] <fyrestrtr> deh: is your mac on the same network?
[11:32] <dns_56> can you ssh from the same machine? could be firewall problems
[11:32] <fyrestrtr> wilrecar: sure.
[11:32] <wilrecar> how exactly?
[11:32] <gigabytes> hello
[11:32] <deh> rausb0: 4736
[11:32] <fyrestrtr> wilrecar: what do you want to replace it with?
[11:32] <wilrecar> fluxbox
[11:32] <rausb0> deh: okay, so the server is running
[11:32] <dns_56> most wm have a --replace, ie metacity --replace
[11:32] <rausb0> deh: now do this on your ubuntu machine:  nc localhost 22
[11:32] <deh> fyrestrtr: yea... i have a router (192.168.0.1
[11:33] <gigabytes> is there a Qt theme that resembles the gtk one so that I don't see the difference between gtk and qt applications?
[11:33] <deh> fyrestrtr: yea... the mac is.......
[11:33] <fyrestrtr> wilrecar: just install it from repositories
[11:33] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: Ah thank you, anyways I'll wait here until you want me to do something :P take your time i have hours to spare :)
[11:33] <fyrestrtr> deh: from the mac, in Terminal type ssh yourusername@yourubuntuserveripaddress
[11:33] <deh> fyrestrtr: the mac is .100
[11:33] <wilrecar> but id doesnt say it will take off gnome, and i want to completely remove gnome
[11:33] <wilrecar> it*
[11:34] <fyrestrtr> wilrecar: oh that requires a bit of tinkering (well, a lot of it)
[11:34] <wilrecar> yeah, thats why i came here
[11:34] <deh> fyrestrtr: nothing happens
[11:34] <fyrestrtr> deh: ping your ubuntu machine's ip address from your mac
[11:35] <deh> fyrestrtr: -.-
[11:35] <minus> ok
[11:35] <deh> fyrestrtr: how do i check my servers IP?
[11:35] <deh> i thought i set it to .242
[11:35] <deh> fyrestrtr: i thought i set it to .242
[11:35] <wilrecar> just a suggestion that might have already been said, access your router be typing its local ip in firefox, then tinker with it from there
[11:35] <rausb0> deh: type in   ifconfig   on the server
[11:36] <wilrecar> if thats remotely related to the problem
[11:36] <deh> rausb0: o0o thx..... its .105
[11:36] <minus> i cant install stupid beryl everytime i run it it turns white, i running it on a laptop with an intergrated ati 9200 graphix can i get some help???
[11:36] <deh> rausb0: u know how i can set it to .242?
[11:37] <minus> can anyone help with beryl?
[11:37] <dns_56> i woud use compiz-fusion, it is the replacement of beryl
[11:37] <fyrestrtr> deh: read the manual page for networking (man interfaces)
[11:37] <n00dl3> deh: dhcp? Your router can do it I believe.
[11:37] <deh> rausb0: zomg!!!!! this is so cool!!! it wrx!!!
[11:37] <minus> thats a bitch too it wont run correctly
[11:37] <deh> nood13: i dno how
[11:38] <fyrestrtr> deh: does your network have dhcp?
[11:38] <rausb0> deh: if you use the dhcp function of your router, you have to configure a fixed ip adress for the mac adress of your ubuntu server. if the router lacks this function, just configure a static ip address on the ubuntu server
[11:38] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: for your problem, I need to figure out why X is completely crashing.
[11:38] <dns_56> you can run ifconfig, it will display your current ip address
[11:38] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: me too : )
[11:38] <fyrestrtr> Meta4ical: first thing is first -- is this a vanilla install of Fiesty or an upgrade?
[11:39] <minus> tmi:
[11:39] <n00dl3> X is lots of fun =o
[11:39] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: It's a vanillia -- if by that you mean completely fresh, I haven't even used Linux/Ubuntu before
[11:39] <fyrestrtr> okay
[11:39] <deh> fyrestrtr: how do i check :\
[11:39] <fyrestrtr> and what happened exactly when you used the restricted drivers manager?
[11:39] <Tmi> minus:  ?
[11:39] <fyrestrtr> deh: check what?
[11:39] <minus> sorry i thought it was someone else
[11:39] <deh> fyrestrtr: how do i check 4 DHCP?
[11:39] <Tmi> ah ok :)
[11:39] <rausb0> deh: you have to know whether you are using dhcp or not
[11:40] <rausb0> deh: after all, it's _your_ router, so you have to know its config
[11:40] <n00dl3> deh: odds are you are :o
[11:40] <Meta4ical> fyrestrtr: I went to the Restricted Drivers Window and clicked enable, at which point it downloaded all the files and then said it required a restart for the install to finish, so I restarted and bam -- hit the black screen
[11:41] <N[i] X> hello. i downloaded an executable file but when i click on it nothing happens... can anybody help me?
[11:41] <deh> fyrestrtr: i r just a n00b!!
[11:41] <deh> fyrestrtr: lol
[11:41] <n00dl3> :\
[11:41] <fyrestrtr> deh: pastebin the output of ifconfig
[11:42] <dns_56> Meta4ical: what graphics card you useing? nvidia or ati?
[11:42] <n00dl3> N[i] X: executable file....as in *.exe? :P
[11:42] <Meta4ical> dns_56: Sapphire ATI Radeon x1550 pci-e
[11:42] <rausb0> deh: and pastebin the content of the file /etc/network/interfaces too
[11:43] <N[i] X> n00dl3: no, executable file as in ipodlinux installer for linux
[11:43] <chemturion> hey there, Im having trouble with my audio
[11:43] <deh> ok... i changed interfaces back to DHCP
[11:43] <chemturion> it was working eariler today but now i cant hear anything
[11:43] <deh> if config is up right now
[11:44] <deh> ifconfig**
[11:44] <deh> HWaddr is the mac address i'm lookin 4, right?
[11:44] <wilrecar> if it doesn't work by clicking on it then get in the terminal, change the directory to where the installer is then run it
[11:44] <wilrecar> that was for n[i] x
[11:45] <rausb0> deh: yes, hw addr is the mac address
[11:45] <deh> sweet
[11:45] <deh> k
[11:45] <deh> lemme try something
[11:45] <N[i] X> wilrecar: so i could just drag it to the desktop and click on it again?
[11:45] <N[i] X> wilrecar: that doesnt work...   how do u run it through terminal?
[11:46] <deh> rausb0: crap
[11:46] <rausb0> deh: hmm?
[11:46] <deh> rausb0: what am i supposed to use for "DHCP Client" on my router?
[11:46] <wilrecar> if its on your desktop, type /home/(your profile name)/desktop/(the installers name)
[11:47] <seamus7> I am installing from source gnome-games 2.19.6 but when I do ./configure I get a dependency no package error: "Some games need python, but python or pygtk not found" ... but I have pygtk installed already???
[11:47] <dns_56> Meta4ical: i don't know a lot about ati, whati would try and do is stop useing the proprietary driver for the moment and install the ubuntu updates
[11:47] <chemturion> hey there i'm having trouble with my audio, i was playing and listening to music eariler today, but now i cant hear anything
[11:47] <deh> rausb0: there's my old comp's name with the same mac address
[11:47] <Meta4ical> dns_56: All ubuntu updates have been installed, and I'm currently using vesa right now -- but for my purposes I _need_ the fglrx drivers
[11:47] <wilrecar> n[i] x if that doesnt work make sure its ubuntu/debian supported or compile it from source
[11:47] <metbsd> anyone familiar with php?
[11:47] <ameyer> N[i] X: might require a chmod u+x  /home/(your profile name)/desktop/(the installers name)
[11:47] <deh> rausb0: and then a button beside it that says clone
[11:48] <N[i] X> wilrecar i tried that. the file is called installer: nix@NiX9000:~/Desktop$ installer
[11:48] <N[i] X> bash: installer: command not found
[11:48] <rausb0> deh: well i don't know your router
[11:48] <deh> rausb0: w8!!!! nevermind!!! i got it!! w007!!!!!!!!!
[11:48] <Meta4ical> fyre are you still here?
[11:48] <rausb0> deh: ;)
[11:48] <ameyer> N[i] X: .installer
[11:49] <cosinos> need help with webgoat
[11:49] <wilrecar> n[i] x i cant help then, im a linux newbie
[11:49] <ameyer> N[i] X: erm, ./installer
[11:49] <N[i] X> ameyer: ./installer: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[11:49] <wilrecar> n[i] x is the installer a file on your desktop or is it in a folder on your desktop
[11:49] <dns_56> Meta4ical: knowing little about ati, how old is the card? the linux drivers lag a little behind windows, and ubuntu is released every 6 months, it might be possible to install drivers manually but not recommended
[11:50] <N[i] X> wilrecar: its on the desktop -.-
[11:50] <wilrecar> just install the lib then n[i] x
[11:50] <N[i] X> 1 sec
[11:50] <Meta4ical> dns_56: I'm not exactly sure how old the card is .. but not that new ... and I also tried installing manually with the guide I followed
[11:50] <wilrecar> i suggest using synaptic and search for the lib name
[11:51] <Meta4ical> dns_56: If Method 2 in this guide is considered manual? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[11:51] <dns_56> Meta4ical: does anything work, is it just a black screen, do you have 3d effects/compositing enabled?
[11:51] <N[i] X> wilrecar: i cant find the libs
[11:51] <seamus7> What might pygtk be when it's listed as missing while installing a package from source? I searched and found that it IS installed. Not sure how to meet this dependency?
[11:51] <Meta4ical> dns_56: I don't think you were here when I distributed this, but I made a forum thread :P http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3108820#post3108820
[11:52] <novato_br> vou ter q passar o dia todo numa reuniao
[11:52] <wilrecar> n[i] x: if you can find thel ibs in synaptic then try to find the origin of your installer and it should let you download the libs
[11:52] <N[i] X> wilrecar: ok let me see
[11:52] <chemturion> hey there, I'm having trouble with my Audio, I cant seem to get anything to play through my speakers or headphones
[11:52] <wilrecar> n[i] x:if that doesnt work then search for the libs on google and there should be a debian-compattible one
[11:53] <ameyer> N[i] X: it might be libssl0.9.7
[11:54] <N[i] X> ok 1 sec
[11:54] <Meta4ical> fyre|work: Hello?
[11:55] <seamus7> wilrecar: I went to gnome-games in synaptic, the older version, and right-clicked for properties; this listed all dependencies which revealed the naming convention of one for which I was looking. thanks.
[11:55] <wilrecar> alright
[11:55] <dns_56> Meta4ical: there is a console tool nvidia-xconfig, there is suppost to be an ati equivalent that sets up a xorg.conf
[11:55] <esteem_> How do I format my CF card (as in, format all defvices under '/dev/sdc1','/dev/sdc2') ?
[11:55] <N[i] X> wilrecar, ameyer: i tried installing libssl0.9.7 and it gave me this Errors were encountered while processing:
[11:55] <N[i] X>  selinux-policy-default
[11:55] <N[i] X> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[11:55] <ir1> yeah aticonfig
[11:56] <wilrecar> n[i] x: you lost me, why would you install the ssl dependencies for an ipod related application?
[11:56] <Meta4ical> could someone help? fyre was helping me and left and he disabled the gdm
[11:57] <Meta4ical> how do I go about enabling it again so I have a login screen? ;o
[11:57] <dns_56> /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:57] <N[i] X> wilrecar: because ameyer told me to
[11:57] <Meta4ical> dns_56: does that start it permantely?
[11:57] <Meta4ical> I think he turned off the service or something
[11:57] <x89x> an anyone help me with zydas drivers ??
[11:57] <deh1> rausb0: u still here?
[11:58] <dns_56> no this time, there is a tool in ubuntu for managing it and you can restart in a different runlevel to stop it next time
[11:58] <wilrecar> n[i] x: you said that when you tried to run the install it showed the name of the required lib, search that on google, there should be something ubuntu compatible
[11:58] <x89x> can anyone help me with zydas drivers ??
[11:58] <deh1> rausb0: got disconnected when the router restarted to set the IP
[11:58] <dns_56> in the grub menu press e and add 2 to the end to start in runlevel 2 (no gui)
[11:59] <N[i] X> wilrecar: 1 sec
[11:59] <deh1> hey
[11:59] <N[i] X> i think i found the problem
[11:59] <dns_56> i have software raid 5 and lvm over the md device where i currently have fedora and a few partitions, i would like to install ubuntu but feisty does not detect the lvm2, what should i do install gutsy? use debian install cd? debootstrap from fedora?
[11:59] <wilrecar> also, how are there to N[i] X's in different colors?
[11:59] <wilrecar> two*
[12:00] <wilrecar> i think im talking to the gold nix and ameyer is talking to the purple one
[12:00] <deh1> can any1 help me? i need the last line of "/etc/network/interfaces"
[12:00] <deh1> anybody?
[12:00] <N[i] X> uhm.... both are talking to me
[12:00] <N[i] X> and im the only nix in here
[12:01] <wilrecar> i see you with a purple colored name and i see a nix with a golden colored name in a slightly bolder text
[12:01] <dns_56> deh1: network-manager does not like it if you manually change that file, mine has : auto eth1
[12:02] <x89x> dns_56 : can you help me ?
[12:02] <N[i] X> im off guys
[12:02] <N[i] X> ttyl
[12:02] <ameyer> wilrecar: the installer script required that lib apparently
[12:02] <wilrecar> it did?
[12:02] <jqg> How to keep my iptables rules from recover after reboot???
[12:02] <ameyer> wilrecar: I'd guess the iPod only  runs signed binaries
[12:02] <deh1> dns_56: waddabout "inet DHCP"?
[12:03] <x89x> deh1 : can an USB adaptor work as an access point in ubuntu ?? It runs in XP
[12:03] <wilrecar> i saw his earlier response say the lib libcrypto.so.0.9.7 was required
[12:04] <dns_56> iface eth1 inet dhcp     this sets the device to use dhcp, then: auto eth1  to make it come up on boot
[12:04] <dns_56> man interfaces for config options
[12:04] <Frogzoo> jqg: I use this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32012/
[12:05] <dns_56> wilrecar: it depends on if it has drivers, some manufacturers do not help linux developers build drivers and stop people distrobuting the required firmware
[12:06] <wilrecar> wait wait wait, you have lost me again
[12:06] <jqg> Frogzoo,thx,but no easy way?
[12:06] <x89x> can anyone help me with Wifi ?
[12:06] <wilrecar> from my point of view he has an ipodlinux installer but it wont work because its missing a library, correct???
[12:07] <Frogzoo> jqg: you save that as /etc/init.d/iptables & put a symlink to it in /etc/rcS.d/S37iptables
[12:07] <jqg> Frogzoo,thx
[12:07] <ameyer> wilrecar: apparently
[12:08] <ameyer> darn, he let
[12:08] <wilrecar> ameyer: so why would he need the ssl dependency or a driver?
[12:08] <ameyer> wilrecar: who  knows
[12:08] <luca> hi everyone
[12:08] <x89x> can anyone help me with zydas drivers ??
[12:08] <wilrecar> oh well
[12:08] <luca> I have some problems w/ beagle - at boot it seems sometimes to forget to have indexed some files - can someone help me?
[12:09] <ameyer> wilrecar: perhaps the linux image he was attempting to install on the iPod needed to be cryptographically signed
[12:09] <SpeakerMania> Where are the default system font files?
[12:09] <wilrecar> and the lib he needed was the cryptographer?
[12:09] <QQ_KYuTzZ_SmG> Aii....
[12:10] <dns_56> luca: beagle-settings > indexing, do you have a directory marked as private?
[12:10] <Tenen> is this the correct place to ask for kubuntu help?
[12:10] <wilrecar> tenen:nope, go to #kubuntu
[12:10] <Tenen> thanks
[12:10] <wilrecar> ok
[12:10] <ameyer> I can see how openssl might be useful for signing stuff
[12:10] <luca> dns_56 no
[12:11] <QQ_KYuTzZ_SmG> ai,,..
[12:11] <wilrecar> oh i see your point
[12:11] <luca> the point is that it DOES index everything...but sometimes at boot it forgets some of the indexed directories/files...
[12:12] <dns_56> luca: indexing is not done constantly or you will loose performance, give me a sec i'll see how to run it manually
[12:13] <luca> dns_56
[12:13] <luca> thanks
[12:13] <luca> what I do not understand though is why he forgets things he already indexed :-/
[12:14] <wilrecar> signing off
[12:14] <xavicool> hi frenz... I can't install ubuntu7.04 on my system with d102ggc2mb and pentium d2.8ghz processor.. 6.06 installed without ny troubles
[12:14] <Tenen> do ubuntu and kubuntu both use madwifi by default?
[12:15] <dns_56> Tenen: don't think it would be legal to have by default
[12:15] <rausb0> Tenen: yes
[12:16] <x89x> can anyone help !! with zydas drivers ?
[12:16] <rausb0> dns_56: the madwifi-ng driver is on the ubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu cd
[12:16] <luca> unrar is legal
[12:16] <Tenen> really
[12:16] <xavicool> pls some one help me
[12:16] <Tenen> then why did ubuntu install it and kubuntu didnt
[12:16] <Tenen> lame
[12:16] <dns_56> my mistake then
[12:17] <rausb0> Tenen: it is part of the linux-restricted-modules package
[12:18] <xavicool> hi frenz... I can't install ubuntu7.04 on my system with d102ggc2mb and pentium d2.8ghz processor.. 6.06 installed without ny troubles
[12:18] <Ignite> what do you mean by cant install?
[12:18] <Tenen> man switching from gnome to kde seems to be a big pain in the ass only reason i dropped ubuntu for kubuntu
[12:18] <dns_56> install 6.06 then upgrade?
[12:18] <Tenen> and now the wifi dont work
[12:18] <cmoi-juju> i have no sound
[12:19] <cmoi-juju> somebody can help me
[12:19] <luca> uhm personally actually I install ubuntu and then synaptic -> kubuntu desktop kde-core :P
[12:19] <rausb0> Tenen: maybe it was disabled by the /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common file
[12:19] <Tenen> so how do i enable it im a mega newb
[12:20] <rausb0> Tenen: "wifi dont work" can have many reasons. it is not necessarily the driver.
[12:20] <dns_56> Tenen: select gnome/kde from the login window,
[12:21] <Ignite> ugh i spent like forever getting wifi to work on my Acer laptop under Ubuntu lol
[12:21] <ameyer> Tenen: one common reason is Network Mangler^H^H^H^Hager
[12:21] <SpeakerMania> Where are the default system font files?
[12:21] <Ignite> I had to use NDISWrapper, took forever! but once I figure it out, I could set it up in under 10 mins
[12:21] <Frogzoo> SpeakerMania: /usr/share/fonts/
[12:22] <SpeakerMania> Thanks
[12:22] <Tenen> well my wifi worked 100% in ubuntu, now i swap to kubuntu and its 0%
[12:22] <Tenen> so i know the card has support
[12:22] <udienzMahyuddin> hello All
[12:22] <x89x> can a wifi max USB adaptor used as an access point in linux ??  i could use it in XP as an access point for my PSP and laptop
[12:23] <dns_56> SpeakerMania: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
[12:24] <rausb0> x89x: the zd1211rw driver does not support AP mode yet
[12:24] <dns_56> Tenen: install ubuntu, then from ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kunbunt-desktop
[12:24] <x89x> rausb0 : its a wifi max. So do i have an another option to create an access piont ?
[12:25] <dns_56> Tenen: after that you can apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop if you don't like gnome
[12:25] <RichW_> hey i got a ultra simple question.. i made a launcher on the desktop that links to a folder.. I want to change its icon.. how can i do this?
[12:25] <rausb0> x89x: the brand is totally unimportant. what matters is the chipset.
[12:25] <RichW_> the default icon is best discribed as crap
[12:26] <dns_56> ln -s target name
[12:26] <xavicool> i tried upgrading .... But it locks up
[12:27] <rausb0> x89x: the old zd1211 driver has limited AP mode support, not very stable. i think the AP mode support for usb wlan sticks in linux (also for other chipsets like ralink) is non-existent at the moment.
[12:27] <B-rabbit> RichW:right ckick> properties
[12:27] <RichW_> B-rabbit: thats what i thought but its not there.. just crappy embelems
[12:27] <rausb0> x89x: the best AP mode support is in the madwifi driver, but that driver is only for pci, cardbus and minipci cards with atheros chipset
[12:28] <jqg> Frogzoo,sorry,your shell would not run by default?
[12:28] <Naitsirk> How can I put two empty SATA-disks into SW Raid-1 in ubuntu desktop edition?
[12:28] <x89x> rausb0 : but why is it like that ? it works awesome on XP !
[12:28] <bytecode> RichW_ it's the little square next to the name attribute on the [BASIC]  tab - click the pic.
[12:29] <rausb0> x89x: it is not only a matter of the hardware. the driver simply cannot do this at the moment.
[12:29] <xavicool> while installing it shows some bios clock not linked error...
[12:29] <RichW_> bytecode: AHHHHHH didnt see that
[12:29] <B-rabbit> RichW_:no you have to go to properties and click on the icon which is already there and it will give you the options
[12:29] <bytecode> RichW_: yeah - it's kind of sublte until you give it a nice icon ;-)
[12:30] <moldy> hi
[12:30] <rausb0> x89x: remember, many drivers are based on reverse engineering, because the h/w manufacturers do not release specs to free software driver developers
[12:30] <B-rabbit> hi
[12:30] <moldy> how do i change the display resolution used by kde in ubuntu?
[12:30] <moldy> i succesfully changed the resolution in gnome, but kde still uses another one
[12:30] <x89x> rausb0 : do you know about the PSP ?
[12:30] <rausb0> x89x: no
[12:31] <B-rabbit> moldy: system>preference>screen resouloutin
[12:31] <Frogzoo> jqg: you might be missing /etc/iptables
[12:31] <x89x>  damn ! I think i'll have to use XP then ! rausb0 !
[12:32] <deh1> hey
[12:32] <B-rabbit> hey
[12:32] <deh1> could u help me really quick?
[12:33] <deh1> i dnt know where my www directory is
[12:33] <deh1> or public_html
[12:33] <deh1> whatever "apache2-default/" is in
[12:34] <jqg> Frogzoo,I have the /etc/iptables/rulset,but after reboot the S37iptables will call /etc/init.d/iptables without parameter, so it just echo "******", run nothing,I guess???
[12:34] <deh1> B-rabbit: could u tell me how 2 navigate directories?
[12:34] <mtappenden> Hi all
[12:34] <deh1> how do i see what's in this directory
[12:34] <deh1> hi mtappenden
[12:35] <mtappenden> I have a Linksys router and connections expire after 86,000 seconds, or just under a day
[12:35] <mtappenden> Is there any way to make them never exzpire?
[12:35] <deh1> *shrug* i'unno
[12:35] <Frogzoo> jqg: the rc scripts get "start" as $1
[12:35] <mtappenden> The only way we can seem to reconnect is to disable and renable wireless access each day, or restart the router each day
[12:35] <deh1> hmmm.... that's not coo
[12:35] <B-rabbit> deh1:yes, type 'whereis' command in the terminal followed by the name of the directory or sub-directory :)
[12:36] <Frogzoo> jqg: so at startup it will load the ruleset previously saved in /etc/iptables/ruleset
[12:36] <dns_56> can you set shorter/longer leases or set a static ip/
[12:36] <B-rabbit> that you wan to find ,deh!
[12:36] <mtappenden> dns_56: Not that I know of
[12:36] <B-rabbit> deh1
[12:36] <mtappenden> We only got the router last week
[12:36] <mtappenden> Upgraded from a NetGear which never had the issue
[12:37] <jqg> Frogzoo,I am not good at shell,you mean 'ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables start /etc/rcS.d/S37iptables'???
[12:37] <deh1> D-rabbit: "apache2-default/"
[12:38] <dns_56> you still useing the netgear? are they both fighting over dhcp?
[12:38] <jqg> Frogzoo, how to do it?
[12:38] <mtappenden> No, the NetGear died, which was the reason for buying the Linksys
[12:39] <deh1> D-rabbit: I'm tryin 2 figure out how to get some HTML visible to the web
[12:39] <x89x> can anyone help with 3D drivers ???
[12:39] <x89x> i cant run a screensaver
[12:39] <mtappenden> They did have our old NetGear, but we figured we may as well go for something else since that didn't last long. The Linksys was three times the price and so far not good :/
[12:39] <bromix> what card do you have x89x
[12:39] <x89x> its a Via S3G graphic adaptor
[12:40] <x89x> bromix : i installed the openchrome drivers
[12:40] <B-rabbit> deh1:i don't know what you mean,could you be more specific
[12:40] <mtappenden> There is an option to disable NAT, but I can't see an option to assign static addresses
[12:40] <x89x> when i open the screen saver option, the screen starts sticking !! like hell ! bromix
[12:41] <Frogzoo> jqg: 'sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables /etc/rcS.d/S37iptables
[12:41] <Frogzoo> jqg: then 'sudo mkdir /etc/iptables'
[12:41] <deh1> D-rabbit: sorry... my laptop's battery died
[12:41] <bromix> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome  have you been therex89?
[12:41] <jqg> Frogzoo,yes,I have don it
[12:42] <Frogzoo> jqg: sudo iptables -L shows your rules?
[12:42] <deh1> could someone help me? i am trying to do a search for a directory
[12:42] <jqg> Frogzoo, but I don't know how to use the 'start' as $1 after reboot?
[12:42] <Frogzoo> jqg: sudo iptables -L shows your rules?
[12:43] <x89x> deh1 : what directory ?
[12:43] <deh1> apache2-default
[12:43] <xuanfei> hi
[12:43] <erUSUL> deh1: use locate
[12:43] <jqg> Frogzoo,now , it's nothing with -L
[12:43] <x89x> deh1 : doesnt the search function work ?
[12:44] <nadis> guys , i think my ubuntu did not auto link the net....
[12:44] <nadis> i did set that
[12:44] <deh1> x89x: well just tryin 2 find the folder where i should put my HTML (which i'm assuming is a subdirectory of apache2-default because outcast-colony.com has it as a subdirectory)
[12:44] <Frogzoo> jqg: well you need to setup your rules, then 'sudo /etc/init.d/iptables save' will create /etc/iptables/ruleset - after that, every time you reboot, your rules will be saved & restored automatically
[12:45] <deh1> search said there was no such directory
[12:45] <bromix> what are you looking for in there deh?
[12:45] <jqg> Frogzoo, I am not sure, but I think your shell's has no $1 by default?
[12:45] <x89x> deh1 : no idead dude

[01:10] <m_> do anyone know how to use Aircrack or John the ripper? i'm a newbie
[01:10] <bromix> and is your network encrypted?
[01:10] <bromix> if so, what type?
[01:10] <rausb0> m_: look in the aircrack-ng wiki, it's well documented there
[01:10] <m_> ok
[01:11] <rausb0> m_: and make sure you use aircrack-ng, not the old aircrack
[01:11] <lindog> bromix: one is another one not i can see both but i do not know how to connect to any of them
[01:12] <esteem_> Is there any way I am able to speed up a DD clone?
[01:12] <defrysk> coral, i ment run nautilus with the --no-desktop option
[01:13] <Polysics> i just noticed i haven't booted up windows in 3 days
[01:13] <coral> defrysk: But i am not using nautilus?
[01:13] <agus_> hallo
[01:13] <defrysk> coral, and never used it either ?
[01:13] <Epsis> I've got a problem, i hope someone can help. Ayway, i've got an old Dell Latitude LS, it runs Win2k. I really want it to run Ubuntu, and it's barely over the minimum requirement. Anyway, i've got a LiveCD to install Ubuntu with, but i can't get my notebook to boot from it. I can't do a network boot either... Anybody think they could help me out please?
[01:14] <coral> defrysk: yes i hav eused it
[01:14] <coral> defrysk: but i thought it were deactivaded when i installed xubuntu
[01:15] <defrysk> coral, if you have an starter for nautilus go to properties and set nautilus to nautilus --no-desktop
[01:15] <defrysk> coral, then restart x and nautilus wont take over your desktop again
[01:16] <coral> defrysk: tell me again, where do i set nautilus to not start, where is "properties" if you be more exact
[01:16] <lindog> bromix: one is encrypted another one is not i can see both but i do not know how to connect to any of them it doesn't work
[01:17] <snail_> how do i disable desktop icons in gnome?
[01:18] <defrysk> coral, do you have a starter for nautlilus in your xxfce4 panel ? if yes right click it select properties (or its equivalent) an set the executable to nautilus --no-desktop
[01:19] <coral> defrysk: uhm.
[01:19] <coral> defrysk: i think not
[01:19] <defrysk> coral, currently i do not use xfce4 , so for more details try #xubuntu
[01:19] <nadis_> REGISTER
[01:19] <defrysk> coral, and ask hot to set up the --no-desktop option for nautilus
[01:19] <defrysk> hot = how
[01:20] <rausb0> coral: you can check if nautilus is running by typing  pidof nautilus  in a terminal window
[01:20] <rausb0> coral: if that command returns a number, it is the process id (pid) of the nautilus process
[01:21] <coral> rausb0: it didnt
[01:22] <coral> xfdesktop --reload did get rid of it however
[01:22] <defrysk> coral, A more permanent solution is to set the gconf key /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop to "false" (the --no-desktop will no longer be required).  This can be done using the graphical gconf-editor, or the command-line gconftool utility.

[01:23] <rausb0> coral: then nautilus isn't your problem. i don't know how you managed to confuse xfce4. i run it regularly and never had such problems.
[01:23] <rausb0> defrysk: i don't think nautilus is used by xfce at all
[01:23] <IdleOne> Epsis, either you need to set bios to boot from cd or maybe you did not burn the iso correctly
[01:23] <defrysk> rausb0, if you start nautilus in xfce4 nautlus will take over the desktop in xfce4
[01:24] <stuart-> can i run beryl decently with a fast computer but slow ass geforce 2 graphic card?
[01:24] <rausb0> defrysk: yes, but you have to explicitely start it
[01:24] <defrysk> rausb0, which he did
[01:24] <IdleOne> stuart-, #ubuntu-effects and please watch your language
[01:25] <stuart-> whoopsk
[01:25] <Epsis> i know i've burnt the ISO correctly, i can use it in different computers without a problem. And the bios is the weird bit...
[01:25] <rausb0> defrysk: he said he used it earlier, before installing xfce
[01:25] <bromix> seems to me that the latest compiz fusion runs quicker and uses less memory than Beryl did.
[01:26] <rausb0> defrysk: that doesn't sound like he ran it from xfce
[01:26] <defrysk> rausb0, possibly but i believe only what I see and I saw an xfce4 desktop overtaken by nautilus
[01:27] <rausb0> defrysk: so why did   pidof nautilus  return nothing?
[01:27] <defrysk> rausb0, he had nautilus turned of again
[01:27] <defrysk> but that does not reverse the desktop
[01:28] <kernelpanic> hi all

[01:44] <Sinderking> Yea
[01:44] <Sinderking> But it's really hard to learn
[01:44] <hollandlucas> can you guys recommend a good HTML/PHP editor? (I've just switched to Ubuntu)
[01:45] <idefix> Sinderking is it a bit like indonesian?
[01:45] <fyre|work> Sinderking: add the keyboard indicator panel applet.
[01:45] <ZeroA4> idefix, try change the repo server to the main one
[01:45] <unagi> what drivers do i need to install if ubuntu doesnt see my hard drive to install
[01:45] <defrysk> hollandlucas, bluefish , quanta
[01:45] <Sinderking> fyrework: could you please tell me how to do that?
[01:46] <aldin> hollandlucas: try 'quanta' it is great, it has autocompletiton for php html etc... great editor, and u can try 'kate' or 'gedit' (standard ubuntu/kubuntu text editors)
[01:46] <bromix> idefix...i got it from Synaptic
[01:46] <Sinderking> idefix: absolutely not, it's more likely ... khmer, laos, burma
[01:46] <hollandlucas> mmm, how about vim? it seems to be pretty light weight
[01:46] <ZeroA4> lindog, in a terminal: "sudo iwlist ethX scanning" lists your networks?
[01:46] <exarkun> How do I make updatedb run at a different time of day?
[01:47] <fyre|work> Sinderking: right click on the panel, then click on add to panel. Then scroll down and find the keyboard indicator applet. Click on it, and click Add. Once it is added, right click on it and go to Keyboard Preferences and add your keyboard. Then, to switch -- the default shortcut is pressing both the alt keys at once, but you can change that in keyboard preferences.
[01:47] <lindog> ZeroA4:  ethX      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[01:47] <ZeroA4> lindog, change X for the number of your wifi eth
[01:48] <ZeroA4> mine is eth1

I are about to order some software, but I asked them to wait to see if there's any open source alternatives. So I ask you, humble Ubuntu community, is there any open source alternatives to streaming live video? (Thinking about the whole system. A webplayer that plays it, the encoder and everything.)

[02:08] <exarkun> in 1997 when your new motherboard probably would have had an ide controller which was supported by a different driver than the one on your current motherboard, and you built your own kernel because you're leet and you excluded all of the ide drivers except for the one for the motherboard you had at the time, then you would have needed to build a new kernel before you install the new motherboard

[02:08] <ubotu> jaime: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de
[02:08] <exarkun> but, it's not 1997 anymore, you didn't build your own kernel, the one you have now has all the ide drivers in it, the new motherboard's ide chipset is supported by the same driver as the one you have now anyway, and in no case would you have needed to re-install the whole system ;)
[02:09] <PriceChild> exarkun, try it and see then :)

[02:09] <drcode> exarkun: how I can use it inside sources.list?
[02:09] <PriceChild> jay___, camorama?
[02:09] <xoRock> i need help to share my internet connection, someone pls PV me or point me where should i started
[02:09] <exarkun> PriceChild: I switched from a P4 to an AMD about 8 months ago, as a matter of fact. ;P
[02:09] <PriceChild> exarkun, as i said, it "should" work... but sounds nasty to em
[02:09] <jay___> what formats does it do?
[02:09] <Jason_> anyone good with laptop boot problems?
[02:09] <m_> a bit
[02:10] <m_> Jason_: i can might help u
[02:10] <jay___> i need to record video not images
[02:10] <Sinderking> bromix: i'll restart my com now thanks again man
[02:10] <Desktom> anybody here familiar with bandwidth limiting using 'tc'
[02:10] <m_> Jason_: what's ur problem?
[02:10] <exarkun> Desktom: it's really hard.  it's easier to use something like wondershaper (which is built on top of tc)
[02:11] <me2resh> hi, i am trying to install dovecot and i have a problem, can anyone help ?
[02:11] <Jason_> m_ I've got an HP laptop that won't boot. It displays Buffer I/O error sr0 358120 (usb legacy off - using no apic nolapic)
[02:11] <Desktom> exarkun: I'm using a script that I've got from a forum... it uses tc and iptables and some stuff I'm not familiar with... But it doesn't seem to work :)
[02:11] <m_> Jason_: do u know how to change boot derection?
[02:12] <me2resh> hi, i am trying to install dovecot and i have a problem, can anyone help ?
[02:12] <exarkun> Desktom: Ah.  Well. :)
[02:12] <exarkun> Desktom: #netfilter might be a good place to ask
[02:12] <exarkun> Desktom: but it usually takes a while to get someone's attention in there, so be patient if you do
[02:12] <drcode> exarkun: ?
[02:12] <exarkun> drcode: Hi what
[02:12] <Jason_> m_ no. Not too linux experienced.
[02:12] <exarkun> drcode: Oh, sources.list, uhm
[02:13] <drcode> yes
[02:13] <exarkun> drcode: I dunno, you have to figure out just what URL it wants
[02:13] <Desktom> exarkun: I will go there. I am patient :) thanks!
[02:13] <drcode> k
[02:13] <drcode> thanx again
[02:13] <exarkun> drcode: I could tell you, but I'd have to figure it out myself first ;P
[02:13] <drcode> I will chceck it
[02:13] <drcode> k
[02:13] <exarkun> drcode: If you want, you can just find the .deb file manually, download it, and install it with dpkg -I
[02:13] <exarkun> er, maybe dpkg -i
[02:13] <exarkun> I forget
[02:13] <m_> Jason_: ok... i think you have to press F8 or something just when u turn on ur computer. if u look hardly you wil see a message: Press (...) to enter setup
[02:14] <exarkun> drcode: though if there are other deps, you'll have to satisfy them manually, if you do that
[02:14] <Jason_> m_ for the BIOS menu? I misunderstood you. I can do that.
[02:14] <m_> ok
[02:14] <bubble> ok don't laugh but i was going to change my username and home dir, so i changed the name manually in /etc/passwd.. now i can't execute sudo on anything anymore bringing me to a bit of a halt.
[02:15] <martyyyr> Anyone know if bind9 relies on interface names (such as eth0, eth1)?
[02:15] <m_> Jason_: in the BIOS menu, change to CD (if u trying to boot from CD)
[02:15] <bubble> can i boot in a different run level which wont require a user to log in
[02:15] <jay___> anyone at all. i have webcam need to record video anything i can use?
[02:16] <bubble> ?? webcam
[02:16] <bubble> shrug
[02:16] <Jason_> m_ OK, got that far. The live CD won't boot, though.
[02:16] <stuart-> is there a guitar pro type program for linux or will i have to wine it?
[02:16] <Jason_> It gets to the splash screen OK, but dies before starting X
[02:17] <m_> Jason_:  ok... have u changed the boot settings so u don't boot from an USB or something?
[02:17] <martyyyr> stuart-: DGuitar, I believe it's called
[02:17] <stuart-> martyyyr, cool. i'll check it out
[02:17] <reflous> how do I check if ubuntu picked up my nvidia video card?
[02:17] <lindo1>  ZeroA4: with cable unplug it is working but only under manual configuration and roaming turned off
[02:17] <exarkun> reflous: look at the monitor
[02:17] <exarkun> reflous: do you see things? :)
[02:17] <Jason_> m_ The settings are 1.)CD-ROM 2.)HDD 3.) Floppy 4.) Removable devices.
[02:17] <martyyyr> exarkun: lol
[02:18] <m_> Jason_: now i think i know what your problem is: try to download a new ubuntu image
[02:18] <reflous> exarkun: smart ass :P, it is possible to pickup the video card but not the accelerator
[02:18] <exarkun> reflous: okay, so you want to know if X is using direct rendering, I guess?
[02:18] <martyyyr> reflous: type  lspci in a console, and  "dmesg | grep nvidia"
[02:18] <stuart-> martyyyr, have you tried it? java would run slow on my system, which i hope not
[02:18] <Jason_> m_ I've tried that a few times also. It also passes the verification check
[02:19] <reflous> martyyyr: ok so lspci showed the nvidia card, but dmesg | grep nvidia didn't show anything
[02:19] <martyyyr> stuart-: I haven't, but a friend of mine has and he seemed to be pretty excited when he told meabout it...
[02:19] <me2resh> how i can create ssl certificate
[02:19] <m_> Jason_: ok.. then i can't help u...stty
[02:19] <Jason_> m_ for what it's worth Fedora and Mandriva won't boot either.
[02:19] <m_> srry*
[02:19] <exarkun> martyyyr: lspci will show it no matter what X is doing, though.
[02:19] <CheshireViking> Jason_, are you using the live cd or the alternate cd? I had a laptop that wouldn't run the live cd because of a bios bug, I had to install using the alternate cd which worked fine once it was installed
[02:19] <stuart-> martyyyr, alright. will try later
[02:19] <reflous> exarkun: yeah, I want X to use the card
[02:19] <exarkun> reflous: If you want to know about X direct rendering (which makes the biggest difference for hardware accelerated rendering, which is what you care about, I guess), `glxinfo | grep direct'
[02:19] <ramseize> Question: is there any 3d software application which i can use ib ubuntu or is compatible with ubuntu fiesty?
[02:20] <Jason_> CheshireViking: The alternate CD can't initialize the filesystem and dies at approximately step 3 or 4.
[02:20] <reflous> exarkun: direct rendering: No :(
[02:20] <reflous> exarkun: any idea how I fix that?
[02:20] <Jason_> I also tried making a bootable USB key which did the same.
[02:20] <BlavaZky> Hi, can someone help me with my freezing asus laptop, system freezes without cd in drive :/
[02:20] <exarkun> reflous: you might need to install a 'linux-restricted-modules' package appropriate for your kernel
[02:21] <ramseize> Question: is there any 3d software application which i can use in ubuntu or is compatible with ubuntu fiesty?
[02:21] <ZeroA4> lindo1, you should be able to select the open wifi network at the network manager
[02:21] <exarkun> reflous: or the 'nvidia-glx' package
[02:21] <CheshireViking> Jason_, it sounds like there's some sort of hardware incompatibility, but i'm not sure how you'd go about solving that
[02:21] <reflous> exarkun: how do I tell which one I want?
[02:21] <exarkun> reflous: or you might need to change your xorg.conf to use the 'nvidia' driver instead of the 'nv' driver
[02:21] <exarkun> reflous: `uname -a' will give you your kernel version
[02:21] <ramseize> Question: is there any 3d software application which i can use in ubuntu or is compatible with ubuntu fiesty?
[02:21] <exarkun> reflous: install the one which matches that
[02:21] <bromix> Jason, forgive me, but what are the specs of that laptop again?
[02:21] <BigToe7000> !sound
[02:21] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:22] <exarkun> ramseize: What is a "3d software application"?
[02:22] <ramseize> like 3d animation softwares
[02:22] <Jason_> CheshireViking: I thought so, I used to have an _old_ version of Mandrake installed, *sigh*
[02:22] <ramseize> which i could design 3d animations/ you know
[02:22] <reflous> exarkun: it is an old card, so would it be nvidia-glx-legacy ?
[02:22] <exarkun> reflous: possibly, depends how old.  I don't know exactly where the cutoff is.
[02:23] <exarkun> reflous: `apt-cache show <pkg name>' gives a desc of the package, I think those packages have lists of cards they support in their desc
[02:23] <exarkun> ramseize: povray?  blender?
[02:23] <ramseize> anything else?
[02:23] <reflous> exarkun: yeah I'm legacy :P thanks
[02:23] <exarkun> ramseize: k3d?
[02:23] <ramseize> which is best and easy to use?
[02:23] <exarkun> ramseize: they're all terrible and hard
[02:23] <wolfalfa> hello, having trouble using the mic, any pointers please ? :)
[02:24] <ramseize> hmmm
[02:24] <exarkun> just like all the windows 3d animation software ;)
[02:24] <kidbuntu> please help. i'm having a problem. everytime I start my synaptic, my add/remove applications. it exits suddenly
[02:24] <ramseize> can you suggest me on something
[02:24] <reflous> exarkun: so I reboot, and X should be using direct rendering now? (after installing the nvidia-glx-legacy)
[02:24] <exarkun> ramseize: I don't really do any animation myself, so I can't really.
[02:24] <ramseize> ohh ok
[02:25] <exarkun> reflous: it might ;)  try it.  if not, then you might have to change/add something else too.
[02:25] <reflous> exarkun: haha, ok
[02:25] <exarkun> reflous: you probably don't need to reboot, btw
[02:25] <reflous> exarkun: oh ok
[02:25] <reflous> exarkun: still no direct rendering on the glxinfo command
[02:25] <exarkun> reflous: ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a console, log in, and 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart'
[02:25] <reflous> oh ok
[02:25] <exarkun> (you do have to do that though :p)
[02:25] <bromix> kidbuntu...what happens if you type      sudo apt-get update      in a terminal?
[02:26] <kidbuntu> bromix: wait, i'm trying that.
[02:26] <kidbuntu> bromix: right now doing sudo apt-get update seems normal
[02:27] <Lustblader> hello every1
[02:27] <Pretor1ab> i have created a 20GB iso file (backup of a hard drive) - how can i write this to multiple DVD's please?
[02:27] <reflous> exarkun: hrm, now I get: Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"
[02:27] <reflous> exarkun: from glxinfo
[02:28] <ubu_> How do i enable Anti-Aliasing on My Desktop? Im running Feisty + Open Ati Drivers + AIGLX + Compiz Fusion. I hear many places say its the nvidia cards that can AA the desktop cube
[02:28] <exarkun> reflous: nvidia-glx-legacy might have been the wrong thing, then?  when you installed it, did anything else get uninstalled?
[02:28] <reflous> exarkun: no
[02:28] <Jordan09> Hey, (I'm new) I installed beryl. But I want the beryl-manager command to run automatically at startup. How can I do so?
[02:28] <reflous> exarkun: and my card is in the list of cards for the legacy driver
[02:28] <Pretor1ab> okay - how about : anyone know good DVD\CD burining applications please?
[02:28] <exarkun> reflous: ah, okay
[02:29] <Lustblader> for linux??? Pretor1ab
[02:29] <Lustblader> Pretor1ab: or for windoze?
[02:29] <ubu_> Jordan09: System>Preferences>Sessions
[02:29] <CheshireViking> Pretor1ab, i use k3b for burning cd's & dvd's
[02:29] <exarkun> reflous: I don't remember what that particular error message indicates, unfortunately.  I get the feeling things just got worse, not better, but that might not be true.
[02:29] <bromix> kidbuntu....  type this in your terminal
[02:29] <exarkun> Lustblader: Take a guess.
[02:29] <bromix>  			 				sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libvte.so.9 /usr/lib/libvte.so.4 			 		
[02:29] <Lustblader> hmmm
[02:29] <exarkun> reflous: Check /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:29] <reflous> exarkun: hahha ok
[02:29] <Lustblader> no ideas mate
[02:29] <ubu_> Jordan09: add your commands you want loaded at startup there
[02:29] <Jordan09> Great ubu_, thanks! ;)
[02:29] <exarkun> reflous: See if it is using "nv" or "nvidia" as the driver
[02:29] <Pretor1ab> ubuntu using gnome
[02:29] <ubu_> Jordan09: np
[02:30] <bromix> then try and see if it works and let me know
[02:30] <kidbuntu> bromix: ok i typed sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libvte.so.9 /usr/lib/libvte.so.4. whats next
[02:30] <sapuro> Pretorlab u can get DVD\CD burning apps using automatix2
[02:30] <Pretor1ab> sapuro, what is automatix ?
[02:30] <reflous> exarkun: hrm its using nv & saying I have a geforce4, I thought I had a 2, maybe I did install the wrong driver after all
[02:30] <Pici> !automatix | sapuro Pretor1ab
[02:30] <ubotu> sapuro Pretor1ab: 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
[02:30] <Pretor1ab> !google automatix
[02:30] <bromix> hit enter :p, close the terminal and try synaptic or add/remove again
[02:31] <Lustblader> !google
[02:31] <ubotu> Google is a very popular search engine: http://www.google.com  -  Google also has a Linux-specific search engine: http://google.com/linux
[02:31] <exarkun> reflous: okay here's the scary part
[02:31] <kidbuntu> bromix: thanks. it works fine now. the command that you gave me. what does it do?
[02:31] <porthose> !worksforme
[02:31] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[02:31] <exarkun> reflous: try changing "nv" to "nvidia" and do the gdm restart again.  if something goes wrong, X might fail to start afterwards.  if so, change it back to "nv" and do "start" instead of "restart" to the gdm command
[02:31] <bromix> kid...did you install compiz?
[02:32] <exarkun> reflous: "nv" doesn't support hw acceleration, btw, so that's most likely the problem here.
[02:32] <reflous> exarkun: hrm ok, I'm also thinking I have the wrong driver, should I switch drivers first?
[02:32] <CheshireViking> Pretor1ab, have a look at either k3b or gnomebaker - both of them are in synaptic
[02:32] <kidbuntu> bromix: nope? whats compiz?
[02:32] <sapuro> is ubotu actually a person or it just generates some sort of automated response?
[02:32] <stuart-> i have nvidia installed, but i can't play ubuntu's chess in 3d because it says i need to install opengl-python. do i still have 3d effects running though? nvidia splash shows up at startup
[02:32] <kidbuntu> sapuro: he's a bot
[02:32] <exarkun> reflous: are you talking about the "Identifier" string in xorg.conf?
[02:33] <Pretor1ab> yes i forgot about gnomebaker thanks CheshireViking
[02:33] <CheshireViking> !botsnack
[02:33] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[02:33] <exarkun> stuart-: run `glxinfo | grep direct'
[02:33] <reflous> exarkun: yes, I'm also thinking it might be right :P
[02:33] <sapuro> kidbuntu i knew tha.lol
[02:33] <exarkun> reflous: hehe :)
[02:33] <exarkun> reflous: in any case, it doesn't actually affect anything
[02:33] <stuart-> exarkun, direct rendering yes
[02:33] <kidbuntu> sapuro: then why are you asking?
[02:33] <reflous> exarkun: the wrong driver doesn't effect anything?
[02:33] <exarkun> reflous: it's just for the benefit of the person trying to update the config
[02:33] <bromix> Look on youtube...you'll want it :p   anyway...some package that you installed most likely downgraded libvte...which breaks Synaptic
[02:33] <exarkun> reflous: basically, it's just a label for you
[02:33] <exarkun> stuart-: then you have hardware accelerated 3d
[02:34] <reflous> exarkun: oh no, but I think its the correct label, so let me switch to the non-legacy driver
[02:34] <ubu_> Im running Feisty + Open Ati Drivers + AIGLX + Compiz Fusion. I would like to have Anti-Aliasing, I hear many places say its the nvidia cards that can AA the desktop cube
[02:34] <ramseize> married
[02:34] <stuart-> exarkun, thanks.
[02:35] <lyoo> hi, when I compile modules on ubuntu 7.04, it's report: make[2] : *** No rule to make target `arch/i386/kernel/msr.c', needed by `arch/i386/kernel/msr.o'.  Stop. how to resolve it?
[02:35] <reflous> exartun: ok I switched drivers & put nvidia, now everything seems to be working (direct rendering: yes)
[02:35] <sapuro> Pretorlab the best way I can explain to you what is automatix is that, its like a package that brings a few software that installs automatically on your system whithout you having to use the terminal to code. It comes with drivers, dvd/cd burning software, codecs and plugins, and a few more other types of software. I personally use automatix, just to install the main programs it brings, after that, I use the terminal
[02:36] <exarkun> reflous: :)
[02:36] <reflous> exarkun: thanks man, now I can try out this beryl prog :)
[02:36] <gsevil> I've install w32 codecs but I can't play some wmv video. It's said that I didn't have MSS2 codec
[02:36] <Lustblader> !\how to change the read/write prefernces on a non-system folder????
[02:36] <gsevil> someone know about it
[02:37] <sapuro> kidbuntu hey calm down, dont be mad man, I just asked because I just found it weird the answer that it gave me whithout me even asking. I'm kinda new using Xchat
[02:37] <gsevil> Do somebody know about MSS2 video codec?
[02:38] <sapuro> gsevil try installing vlc, it plays most of the stuff that I know
[02:38] <caner> how can i check if my wireless adapter is working (the driver ive installed) or not if there is no wireless network available????
[02:38] <gsyjem> hola
[02:38] <gsyjem> asecalor
[02:38] <Kuprin> Hey peeps. Still having trouble with the new box: it seems video related, but even the Alternate install cd goes to a blank screen or freezes (I've had both) when you get past the opening menu (which displays fine).
[02:39] <sapuro> gsevil at the terminal: sudo apt-get install vlc
[02:39] <Lustblader> vlc plays everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
[02:39] <sapuro> Lustblader vlc hell yeah :o :D
[02:40] <caner> Lustblader but has problems with subtitles
[02:40] <Lustblader> i know!!
[02:40] <Lustblader> yeah
[02:40] <caner> hey Lustblader what is ur mother language
[02:40] <caner> english?
[02:40] <Lustblader> actually it's malayalam
[02:41] <Lustblader> an indian language
[02:41] <Lustblader> but english is what i use most of the time
[02:41] <caner> oh that must be a bigger problem if you want to use subtitles in your own lang.
[02:41] <Lustblader> naah
[02:42] <Lustblader> i understand english quite well
[02:42] <caner> allright then
[02:42] <Lustblader> it's just the japanese movies that trouble me
[02:42] <caner> but i still love totem since it made quite good progress recently
[02:42] <Lustblader> akira kurosawa's stuff
[02:42] <sapuro> caner why use subtitle in ur own language? :s
[02:42] <ubu_> I need some help. Im running Feisty + Open Ati Drivers + AIGLX + Compiz Fusion. I would like to have Anti-Aliasing, I hear many places say its the nvidia cards that can AA the desktop cube
[02:42] <Lustblader> windows has a really good player in k-multimedia player
[02:43] <caner> sapuro . whats interesting with that :?
[02:44] <caner> Lustblader it worths for watching kurosawa films
[02:44] <Lustblader> yup caner
[02:45] <Lustblader> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_KMPlayer
[02:45] <Lustblader> too sad it's windows only
[02:46] <caner> hey how can i check if my wireless driver is working well if there is no wireless network around available
[02:46] <caner> ?
[02:46] <exarkun> caner: how can you check if your eyes are working if it's pitch black
[02:46] <bromix> ubu...did you try with nvidia-settings?
[02:46] <caner> exarkun goog analogy lol
[02:46] <Kopfgeldjaeeger> maybe "sudo iwlist scan", and if it takes more than 2 seconds it works? ^^
[02:47] <genii> exarkun: Yes, very apt
[02:47] <exarkun> caner: If you have two wireless cards, maybe you can create your own network with one and join it with the other
[02:47] <caner> "eth1      No scan results"
[02:48] <caner> is this good enough
[02:48] <genii> exarkun: Damn I was just writing that very same thing
[02:48] <caner> exarkun let me give it a try
[02:48] <exarkun> caner: it means /something/ :)  it probably means it's working, but it doesn't /necessarily/.  the only way to see if it really works is to really use it :)
[02:49] <caner> exarkun yes ur right i am going to the library
[02:49] <Max0__> how do i change what files open with what programs? as if i download a.torrent file in firefox its passed to a script i made which then rtorrent picks up. but im trying to get the same thing to happen with lynx
[02:49] <gsevil> I don't have Internet at home, do what do I need to download to install vlc
[02:49] <toddy> Now I have two kernel with every starting of my PC!how to del one of them?
[02:49] <Lustblader> gsevil: many files
[02:50] <gsevil> Is vlc the only way to play wmv with MSS2 codec?
[02:50] <Lustblader> ur better off downloading the codecs n using the totem gsevil
[02:50] <gsevil> i have install xine
[02:50] <Lustblader> gsevil: get more codecs
[02:50] <gsevil> and many codecs
[02:50] <gsevil> I've install all the codec from mplayer website
[02:51] <gsevil> also w32 codec from medibuntu
[02:51] <sapuro> gsevil u want to install vlc?
[02:51] <gsevil> yes
[02:51] <Kuprin> Okay, Ubu guys, I've just proven using an XP install graciously provided by the university that it is NOT my hardware that's causing my problems. Now I *know* all of my hardware is supposedly supported in Linux (I built this thing TO be used in Linux) and I'm wondering what's so wrong with Ubu that nothing works? My current problem is that regardless of livecd, I get blank screens, no booting, and lockups during loading.
[02:52] <sapuro> gsevil at the terminal type: sudo apt-get install vlc and that should do it
[02:52] <gsevil> I know, but I don't have internet at home, so sad
[02:52] <gsevil> I have to download so many packages
[02:53] <gsevil> and don't know what i had, what I don't have to download
[02:53] <Lustblader> yup
[02:53] <Lustblader> especially with vlc
[02:53] <sapuro> gsevil uuuhhhh..that's different. I dont know if I could use ubuntu whithout internet other than to do some programming
[02:53] <CheshireViking> gsevil, http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/graphics/vlc at the bottom of the page is an option to download vlc and possibly its dependencies, maybe if you select the i386 or amd64 version that'll have everything you need
[02:54] <reflous> if I want a drive to always mount on bootup, is the best way to just manually hack the fstab, or does ubuntu have some easy way to do this?
[02:54] <toddy> Now I have two kernel with every starting of my PC!how to del one of them?
[02:54] <Lustblader> reflous: go to root/boot/grub
[02:54] <Lustblader> n edit menu.lst
[02:55] <askand> Do you have to type all this to make a box with a button in with C! :O http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/c39.html#SEC-HELLOWORLD
[02:55] <Lustblader> askand: yessssssssssssssss
[02:55] <bromix> Maxo..stilll here?
[02:56] <askand> Lustblader: (N)
[02:56] <Lustblader> askand: that' why some ppl use visual c
[02:56] <askand> Lustblader: whats that?
[02:56] <reflous> lustblader, shouldn't I just add it to the fstab?
[02:56] <SORMANOV> what is the best way to do a centralized caching server in my LAN for caching apt packages ?
[02:56] <Lustblader> askand: visual c is a easier form of c
[02:56] <Lustblader> askand: let's u concentrate on the coding bit
[02:57] <askand> Lustblader: oh ok..ill check it..thanks
[02:57] <cinex> how do you change the font/resolution of a console ?
[02:57] <Lustblader> reflous: go to root /boot/grub n edit menu.lst  and make it default os
[02:57] <exarkun> askand: switch to a better language
[02:57] <genii> SORMANOV: There are a few packages you may want to look at. apt-proxy  apt-cache and apt-mirror
[02:58] <exarkun> askand: developing in C isn't just wasteful, it should be criminal in most cases
[02:58] <Lustblader> cinex: got to syste>prefs>screen resolution
[02:58] <armyriad> Where can I find a good tutorial on dual booting Ubuntu and Windows XP?
[02:58] <exarkun> askand: try python or smalltalk or lisp
[02:58] <cinex> Lustblader: I mean a text only console
[02:58] <Lustblader> oh
[02:58] <Lustblader> sorry
[02:58] <cinex> np
[02:58] <Lustblader> cinex: am clueless
[02:58] <genii> SORMANOV: If hd space is a concern perhaps apt-proxy. apt-mirror gets the entire repo. The other is sort of inbetween
[02:59] <moldy> can i configure kdm in such a way that only a user's real name or only a user's username is displayed in the list of users?
[02:59] <askand> exarkun: hmm...i was told that pyhon wasnt good cause you had to use an interpreter?
[02:59] <exarkun> askand: most people who talk about programming don't have a clue
[02:59] <Lustblader> exarkun: totally!!
[02:59] <bromix> armyriad... try this one  http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/
[03:00] <SORMANOV> genii, what about apt-cacher
[03:00] <jamaman> I just noticed today that mplayer, totem, and vlc all crash on my feisty setup whenever I try to play videos from my digital camera. These videos played fine up until a week or so ago. Any ideas?
[03:00] <askand> exarkun: ok..i looked at python earlier..it seemed easier
[03:00] <armyriad> bromix: Ok.
[03:00] <exarkun> askand: here's how you make a gtk window in python, fwiw
[03:00] <exarkun> askand: import gtk; w = gtk.Window(); w.show(); gtk.mainloop()
[03:01] <exarkun> askand: putting a button that says "Hello World" on it in the window might take another line :)
[03:01] <bromix> armyriad:  This ones nice too.  I think I like it better.  http://www.howtoforge.com/dual_boot_windows_xp_vista_ubuntu_feisty
[03:01] <askand> exarkun: thats very good : )
[03:01] <toddy> Now I have two kernel with every starting of my PC!how to del one of them?
[03:01] <genii> SORMANOV: It is like apt-proxy except it stores whatever packages you are getting often locally for less bandwidth use and faster setup
[03:01] <toddy> how could i deal with it?
[03:01] <armyriad> bromix: Ok, thanks.
[03:01] <brownie17> hi. i'm triyng to run my fresh install of the new ubuntu, and it tells me everytime that on of my drives is corrupt. i don't need it and it's only small. how do i disabled it without disconnecting it
[03:01] <brownie17> it won't let me start up
[03:01] <Eclipser> is it possible to boot the livecd without the crappy graphical crap
[03:02] <Lustblader> nope Eclipser
[03:02] <Eclipser> well sucks
[03:02] <cinex> Eclipser: once it has booted, pres cntl+alt+f1
[03:02] <Eclipser> I know
[03:02] <cinex> you can then log in and kill kdm/Xorg if you want
[03:02] <Lustblader> or press ctrl-alt-backspace
[03:02] <cinex> Lustblader: that will jsut reestart it
[03:03] <Lustblader> don tell him
[03:03] <Lustblader> :)
[03:03] <brownie17> ahahaah
[03:03] <brownie17> not very nice
[03:03] <Lustblader> i got conned that way once
[03:03] <brownie17> how do i run fsck manually?
[03:04] <brownie17> startup is telling me i need to do it
[03:04] <askand> exarkun: hrm is it hard to have "bash commands" in pythonprograms?
[03:04] <cinex> e2fsck /dev/ (if you have ext2/3
[03:04] <cinex> )
[03:04] <cinex> brownie17: you will need to unmount the device forst
[03:04] <cinex> first
[03:04] <sapuro> is anyone dual booting Vista/Ubuntu 7.04?
[03:05] <brownie17> is it unmount hdb1
[03:05] <Lustblader> or brownie17 just use the live cd to format the faulty drive
[03:05] <exarkun> askand: To accept strings from user input and execute them as though they were being given to a bash shell?
[03:05] <brownie17> yeah i might have to
[03:05] <jamaman> regarding my issue of video not playing, here's the output of vlc and mplayer: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5693868e
[03:05] <exarkun> askand: (#python exists and is a good place for python-specific questions, btw)
[03:05] <bromix> or, you could just set it to NONE in the bios
[03:06] <bromix> then it won't even see it
[03:06] <grayhane> what file format would be best to use second drive on a system using both ubuntu and windows in dual boot
[03:06] <ubu_> I need some help. Im running Feisty + Open Ati Drivers + AIGLX + Compiz Fusion. I would like to have Anti-Aliasing, I hear many places say its the nvidia cards that can AA the desktop cube
[03:06] <[gen2] niki> hi
[03:06] <gsevil> I have dual Vista and ubuntu
[03:06] <brownie17> Lustblader, might do that. is there a tool on the livecd to format a drive?
[03:06] <[gen2] niki> i cant get my nvidia gfx card to work (gf4ti)... maybe because i had envy running before?
[03:06] <Lustblader> yup brownie17.. it's callet qtpart
[03:07] <grayhane> gsevil, I want to have slave drive that can be read from both OS, what woudl be the best format
[03:07] <brownie17> lustblader thankyou, hopefully im' right that hdb1 is only the drive i don't want!!!!
[03:07] <Lustblader> fat 32
[03:07] <YoshiBishi> Hi, I am wondering what the best firewall is for ubuntu
[03:07] <gsevil> I use NTFS
[03:07] <Lustblader> no props brownie17
[03:07] <Ky|Work> Does anyone know of any alternate ports that you can connect to MSN via?  My firewall has the default one blocked
[03:07] <gsevil> Linux can read NTFS
[03:07] <brownie17> grayhane, can't write to NTFS in linux
[03:07] <gsevil> yes
[03:07] <bromix> Ubu....if you install nvidia-settings (restricted)  you can probably enable the AA right from there.
[03:07] <gsevil> u can
[03:08] <ziroday> brownie17: actually you can
[03:08] <gsevil> install NTFS-config
[03:08] <arang> anyone could help me with avidemux2 "trouble initializing audio device" problem here?
[03:08] <askand> exarkun: yes..hm ok will go there
[03:08] <bromix> or ntfs3g
[03:08] <Lustblader> Ky|Work: tried 1863 ??
[03:08] <mOrO^> Question: Ive installed RealPlayer, and it seems to be working...but when I click on an online stream Totem pops up and cant handle the stream. How do I change the file association for this?
[03:08] <brownie17> ziroday, i've heard it's super dangerous
[03:08] <bromix> NTFS-3G   rather
[03:09] <Ky|Work> Lustblader: that's the default, and its blocked
[03:09] <sapuro> gsevil are both Vista and Ubuntu running smoothly?
[03:09] <Lustblader> hmm
[03:09] <bromix> heeh, C'mon...it's ONLY windows
[03:09] <ziroday> brownie17: no, not at all, it is in fact moved to stable and widely used
[03:09] <ameyer> brownie17: you probably also could use ext3, but it's rather poorly supported by a 3rd party driver in windows
[03:09] <ziroday> !ntfs | brownie17
[03:09] <ubotu> brownie17: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[03:09] <ubu_> Bromix: where are theese settings? and they will apply to my ati?
[03:09] <mOrO^> !file associations
[03:09] <Lustblader> Ky|Work: try 6901
[03:09] <genii> sapuro I have a box with Vista/FreeBSD6.2/W2KPro/Feisty
[03:10] <brownie17> how do i find out which HD is HDB1???
[03:10] <Lustblader> brownie17:  click n look at the data
[03:10] <Lustblader> Ky|Work: also 6891 to 6900
[03:10] <bromix> right click the file....choose open with
[03:11] <CheshireViking> brownie17, in a terminal, type "blkid" that'll tell you which partitions are linked to sda1/sda2 etc
[03:11] <brownie17> Lustblader, WHAT?  don't know which harddrive is called Hdb1
[03:11] <gsevil> to write NTFS u can also use ntfs-config. I'm using it, it's working very well
[03:11] <genii> brownie17: If you put just: mount   it should tell you where the hard drives are mounted to in the filesystem
[03:11] <sapuro> genii are they both running fine?cause i got two laptops, one with XP/Feisty, and the other with Vista/Feisty.the one with Vista/Feisty got problems in ubuntu.
[03:11] <gsevil> what
[03:11] <gsevil> 's problem
 sudo fdisk -l
[03:11] <[gen2] niki> i renember that vista beta ruined my partition tabler
[03:12] <[gen2] niki> so that i couldnt have linux partitions at the same tiome
[03:12] <genii> sapuro : I have each on it's own hd and they work fine
[03:12] <Ky|Work> Lustblader: no dice on either one.  I know that there has to be one working because my buddy is running the offical windows client with no problem :P
[03:12] <YoshiBishi> Hello, I am wondering what firewall and/or antivirus to set up on ubuntu
[03:12] <CheshireViking> !virus | YoshiBishi
[03:12] <ubotu> YoshiBishi: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[03:12] <fyre|work> I have dual boot vista/fiesty -- no problems, single 120 GB disk.
[03:12] <gsevil> I've install all vista,XP and ubuntu
[03:12] <sapuro> gsevil ubuntu wont connect wireless, no sound, no desktop effects
[03:12] <arang> anyone could help me with avidemux2 "trouble initializing audio device" problem here?
[03:12] <Lustblader> Ky|Work: tried port 80???
[03:12] <gsevil> three boot, not dual
[03:12] <YoshiBishi> I understand that CheshireViking, but would like to be able to scan for window viruses as well =).
[03:13] <brownie17> nicle_, well i'm getting an error when i start up saying hdb1 is corrupt file system and i can't start up nless i run fsck, but it tries and it fails.
[03:13] <fyre|work> !firestarter
[03:13] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[03:13] <brownie17> nicle_, should i fresh install. just did it so no data lost
[03:13] <YoshiBishi> Thanks fyre|work.
[03:13] <CheshireViking> YoshiBishi, i think in the article it gives the names of a few antivirus packages
[03:13] <sapuro> genii the funny thing is that, on that same laptop, with Vista/Feisty, I had a dual boot of XP/Feisty before, and it was running fine.
[03:13] <Ky|Work> Lustblader: yea, that's the first thing I tried.  with and without the HTTP method checked
[03:13] <Ky|Work> neither seems to work
[03:13] <ubu_> bromix: where are these nvidia settings? and they will apply to my ati?
[03:13] <YoshiBishi> Oh okay, thanks a lot CheshireViking
[03:13] <fyre|work> !clamav
[03:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clamav - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:13] <bromix> I thought you said you had and NV chipset ubu
[03:14] <fyre|work> !info clamav
[03:14] <ubotu> clamav: antivirus scanner for Unix. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.90.2-0ubuntu1.3 (feisty), package size 850 kB, installed size 1280 kB
[03:14] <genii> sapuro: Mine is a tower, but I installed in order, fbsd, then w2k then vista then ubuntu. The main bootloader is grub
[03:14] <ubu_> bromix: no stty i have ati, but ive heard nvidia can do the AA, havnet found a guide for ati
[03:14] <ubu_> bromix: no srryy i have ati, but ive heard nvidia can do the AA, havnet found a guide for ati
[03:14] <Barr1> Using Feisty: Where can i find "Network Manager", its installed in sypnatic, but how do i start it?
[03:15] <sapuro> genii yesterday i was told that it doesnt matter which OS u ur dual booting because one has nothing to do with the other one, and yet, I only got problems in that laptop when is dual boot Vista/Feisty
[03:15] <Ky|Work> Barr1: Network Manager should be running by default
[03:15] <fyre|work> Barr1: system > administration > network
[03:15] <gsevil> sapuro what's your problem
[03:15] <genii> sapuro: Yeah, it should not matter. but sometimes it does
[03:15] <Tinidril> Hello, is this the best place for questions about mdadm and meta devices in general?
 is your fs ext3?
[03:16] <brownie17> nicle_, yes
[03:16] <genii> sapuro: Since each of my OS have their own hd there is no chance they are sharing some partition or so on.
[03:16] <Barr1> Network = Network Manager?....i uninstalled Network manager and still saw "Network"....im trying to get WAP to work, and never see the option from the drop menu
[03:17] <sapuro> Barrl if its not running by default, add it to your startup programs, in System, Prefferences, Sessions, and Startup Programs
  how  old your harddisk?
[03:17] <brownie17> if i'm putting an OS on a parititon, should it be primary or logical?
[03:17] <genii> primary
[03:17] <sapuro> genii u got two physical disks?
[03:17] <brownie17> nicle, maybe 5 years
[03:18] <Tinidril> I woke up this morning to find my 7.04 server frozen solid.  Only way I can get it to boot is to remove any member of my raid-5 software array
[03:18] <genii> sapuro i have 4 physical disks, all off my IDE on the motherboard. My DVD and CD are off a second IDE controller (Promise TX2 card)
[03:18] <sapuro> gsevil I got problems dual booting Vista/Feisty. tried reinstalling both using different procedures, but still...
 it may be the physical damage, and I have the same experience
[03:18] <sapuro> genii it aint a laptop, is it?
[03:19] <genii> sapuro: No, I already said it was a tower
[03:19] <brownie17> nicle_, worked fine an hour ago
[03:19] <sapuro> genii lol...my bad :D
 and even I reformat my hd with other fs(such as jfs)
[03:19] <sapuro> genii my vista came pre-installed with the laptop, Vista Home Premium, which I dont like it very much
[03:19] <sapuro> lol
[03:19] <Sfinx> hey everyone
[03:19] <brownie17> nicle_, damn
[03:20] <brownie17> nicle_, okay it's installing and i'm going to bed. goodnight all
 suggest u try the other fs
[03:20] <genii> sapuro: I dunno which version I have, they send em to me at work all the time (Microsoft).I think  probably the same.
[03:20] <brownie17> nicle_, if this donesn't work i will. thanks a heap
[03:20] <Sfinx> Anyone able to install XGL with a recent ATI card?
 :)
[03:21] <m1r> vodafone mobile connect card help needed
[03:22] <sapuro> genii a few weeks ago, I just completely deleted vista and installed XP on it, to dual boot with Feisty, feisty worked absolutely fine, and WinXP Pro worked fine as well, is just that, the laptop looked weird whithout vista on it.lol
[03:22] <ubu_> anyone know where i can see what refresh rate im running at?
[03:22] <kaiyilen> Hey, I'm trying to use mkisofs to create an ISO of a directory on my machine however it appears to be truncating the file names of files. How do i make it preserve the original file names?
[03:23] <genii> sapuro: Same bootloader on the XP/ubuntu vista/ubuntu setups?
 one of my friend did the same thing
 vista is s**k
[03:23] <sapuro> ubu_ System, Prefferences, Screen Resolution that's where u'll find ur refresh rate
[03:23] <pawan> hi
[03:24] <genii> kaiyilen: There is a switch to use Joliet, man mkisofs  should have it in there somewhere
[03:24] <kaiyilen> okay.
[03:24] <sapuro> genii yep, I did exactly the same thing on both machines
[03:24] <sapuro> genii I think Vista is just a big problem
[03:24] <genii> sapuro: I did notice after a fairly large set of upgrades on it i had to reinstall grub
[03:25] <genii> sapuro: It had messed with the mbr
[03:25] <ubu_> sapuro: i mean the real refresh rate, like updates/sec, so i can properly match compiz to it
[03:26] <sapuro> genii because, when I load vista, everything works fine, but when I load feisty oh man,problem starts, I got wireless, but no signal strength, and it wont accept my wep key.lol, I got no sound, I can't enable desktop effects, but hey, let's look at the bright side, I can connect to the internet, with a wire :o.lol
[03:27] <unagi> what do i do if ubuntu wont recognize my hard drive to isntall it
[03:27] <arang> anyone could help me with avidemux2 "trouble initializing audio device" problem here?
[03:27] <genii> kaiyilen: There is also a switch called iso-level which will let you relax standard 8.3 naming and depth of directories if you don't want Joliet type CDs
 is your hd  sata?
[03:28] <sapuro> nicle_ totally agree.lol...but if the laptop came with vista pre-installed and u pu xp, u'll notice a big difference :D...specially in graphics
[03:28] <genii> sapuro: Hmm. I set my bios for non PNP OS because i had W2KPro on it. I think whats happening is vista configures PNP stuff in one config then Ubuntu tries to use it in the config it originally discovered things.
[03:29] <bromix> vista=WinME   WinME=Vista
[03:29] <Tinidril> Anyone have any advice on recovering a failed soft raid5 array?  mdadm wont even acknowledge that the members exist.
[03:29] <m1r> sapuro , best special graphics is tty1 , u dont even need refresh rate
[03:29] <genii> bromix: Nah, ME is basically the last stab at 98 whereas the engine in Vista is the 2K/XP engine
[03:31] <bromix> too soon, too much, system hog...barf
[03:31] <genii> Tinidril: If you had 2 parts of the array on the same disk, kiss it goodbye
[03:31] <unagi_> what do i do if ubuntu doesnt see my hard drive and cant install
[03:31] <SoulChild> which filesystem has the biggest file compression ?
[03:32] <xpoint> none
[03:32] <Tinidril> genii I had three separate disks in a raid 5
[03:32] <SoulChild> xpoint: sure,.. reiserfs does have a smaller disk space usage !
[03:33] <unagi_> anyone know what to do if ubuntu doesnt see ur hard drive during install?
[03:33] <sapuro> genii i'm just getting really disapointed with microsoft
[03:33] <Travis> yo\
[03:33] <sapuro> mlr r u talking about xp?
[03:33] <genii> sapuro: I'm getting that way with ATI
[03:33] <genii> sapuro: :)
[03:33] <bromix> my ATI works flawlessly in Ubuntu..even with the new compizfusion
[03:34] <CorrosionX> Hey guys I always have some cronjobbed Fetchmail scripts that keep hanging and then the email doesn't deliver properly... do you think there's a way to put a time limit on the process and then kill it?
[03:34] <Phydoux> sapuro, I think we're all pretty much pissed at M$ at the moment
 is your hd sata??
[03:34] <Travis> i jsut got my shit workin tonight with my broadcom
[03:34] <unagi_> nicle_: no its ide
[03:34] <bromix> BC...there's some forum diggin
[03:34] <genii> Tinidril: Were you already running it in degraded mode then the second one went?
[03:35] <m1r> if there were no M$ , what pc's would i get to repair ? :)
[03:35] <Travis> im usin mepis now
[03:35] <FunnyLookinHat> Is there any way to set preferred wireless networks with network manager?  It insists on connecting to networks with lower signals than the one I want by default....
 can u see it in bios?
[03:35] <sapuro> genii r u sure if I set my bios for non PNP, it wont mess it up?I dont like playing with the bios apart from doing overclocking.lol
[03:35] <unagi_> yes
[03:35] <sapuro> Phydoux and they'r still getting richer.lol
[03:35] <Travis> is it hard to overclock?
[03:36] <genii> sapuro: Well, my bios was set that way BEFORE I installed any OS on it. If you change it now I dunno what may or may not happen
[03:36] <pawan> how to install firefox
[03:36] <sapuro> genii lol
[03:36] <Tinidril> genii I was running with three drives when the system locked hard.  It would lock hard every time I tried to boot until I physicly disconnected one of the raid members.  I'm booting off a separate drive
[03:36] <sapuro> Travis no, but it can screw up ur system.lol
[03:37] <sapuro> Travis I only do it if its a tower, never on a laptop.lol
[03:37] <Travis> oh
[03:37] <Travis> lol
[03:37] <Travis> im coo then
[03:37] <Travis> lol
[03:37] <sapuro> mlr tell me about mlr
[03:37] <hylje> you may want to underclock your laptop processor to make it eat less powerz
[03:37] <genii> Tinidril: Ah, OK. So your RAID setup configs etc is on the 3 drives not the drive you are boooting from then
[03:37] <hylje> but its mundane as the display takes so much more energy
[03:38] <Travis> that really works?
[03:38] <sapuro> genii which way r u getting with ATI?
[03:38] <Travis> i had XP for a long time and i wanted to dual boot and messed up
[03:38] <Tinidril> genii yes, the raid is for large storage, not booting
[03:38] <squalla_> hello
[03:38] <Travis> now im learning linux
[03:38] <Jack_Sparrow> Tinidril: May I ask how many watts you have in that power supply?
[03:38] <Travis> *trying
[03:38] <[gen2] niki> hi
[03:38] <squalla_> i need help
[03:39] <Travis> i got a laptop
[03:39] <[gen2] niki> can someone help me setting my geforce 4 up?
[03:39] <squalla_> who can help me ???
[03:39] <Travis> sorrry mane
[03:39] <Travis> what u trying to do?
[03:39] <genii> Tinidril: Do you have /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf on the drive you are booting from?
[03:39] <phidef_> salu
[03:39] <sapuro> Travis dual boot XP/Feisty is the best, u got the best of both worlds, cause u'll be using one of the best from Microsoft and off course. linux :o
[03:39] <Pici> !ask | squalla_
[03:39] <ubotu> squalla_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:39] <unagi_> why is it mandriva can operate my card reader but ubuntu cant?
[03:40] <phanto1> Envy installs ATI driver. How is that driver called ( not fglrx) ?  I tried to install the driver some time ago with envy and now with sh XXX.run but both aren't functioning with xgl on my RX1300. Xgl booting into distorted Gnome.
[03:40] <Travis> this mepis is the best for my pc now, cause of the broadcom
[03:40] <Tinidril> Yes, the raid array is only used for storage.  /etc is on the single drive
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Travis: No problems with broadcom in Ubuntu either.
[03:40] <CorrosionX> So, does anyone know a way to keep a fetchmail process from hanging, or at least killing itself after x amount of time?
[03:40] <Travis> i dont have the drivers from windows and dont know how to use the ndiswrapper
[03:40] <genii> sapuro: I am getting a bit disappointed with the ATI/AMD drivers because they so far won't release the source for them and the binaries like fglrx all seem to have some issues
[03:41] <Travis> i had it
[03:41] <Travis> lol
[03:41] <Travis> bcm44x?
[03:41] <sapuro> genii wasnt ATI supposed to be good?lol
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Travis: We dont need ndiswrapper for broadcom any more..
[03:41] <Travis> really?
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> Travis: 43xx ont 44
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> not
[03:42] <genii> sapuro: I used to be a big ATI fan when mostly I ran Windoze but have become disillusioned
[03:42] <bromix> I followed a tutorial and my ati/xgl installed without a hitch, runs sweet.  Play WoW on Ubuntu, and run CompizFusion all tweaked out.
[03:42] <Travis> mine is a airforce somethin
[03:42] <squalla_> before (i have Screen resolution is 1024x768), after install it's have only 800x600 :(( ---> who can help me ?
[03:42] <Travis> 44 some shit
[03:42] <Travis> lol
[03:42] <sapuro> genii my big problem is just the wireless, its recognising my network, but it has no signal strength, I'v installed ndiswrapper, which is not even working properly...and just getting fedup
[03:42] <sapuro> lol
[03:42] <miranda82_> hello
[03:42] <squalla_> i installed Nvidia driver
[03:42] <Travis> i used to run that pclinux disstro
[03:43] <Travis> im bad at installing crap
[03:43] <sapuro> genii lol...but for gaming, ur still better off using windows :o
[03:43] <KrustFRG> I just went to do and Update on my server for "tcpdump" and I got this error
[03:43] <Travis> hey
[03:43] <KrustFRG> W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/tcpdump/tcpdump_3.9.5-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
[03:43] <KrustFRG>   Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:80 (82.211.81.138). - connect (113 No route to host)
[03:43] <Travis> whats this WINE prog
[03:43] <squalla_> my video card is RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro
[03:43] <genii> Tinidril: Did you try something like:   sudo mdadm assemble /dev/md0
[03:43] <nextstate> squalla_: have you played with your xorg.conf file?
[03:43] <squalla_> no
[03:43] <Travis> you can run windows progs with it?"
[03:43] <squalla_> i didn't with it
[03:43] <miranda82_> i unchecked the Intel Pro Wireless Driver, in the restricted drivers manager, and now, every time i try to boot i get either a kernel panic, either a BUG: scheduling while atomic, any way to load the driver again?
[03:43] <bromix> sapuro...what card do you have?
[03:43] <sapuro> genii and, vista, has something real good about graphics, it kinda like brings the best out of ur graphics card
[03:43] <squalla_> yes
[03:44] <phanto1> bromix: there is a package which I once instaled but its missing from my curent distro and I dont remember its name.
[03:44] <nextstate> squalla_: that where you want to look, maybe an x channel would help
[03:44] <Tinidril> mdadm: An option must be given to set the mode before a second device is listed
[03:44] <sapuro> bromix r u talking about graphics card? ATI Radeon Xpress 200M
[03:44] <KrustFRG> says is not Authenticated, how can I fix this, yet is from the Ubuntu repos
[03:44] <Travis> yes to me?
[03:44] <genii> bromix: Well I'm glad at least someone is experiencing no ATI headaches :)
[03:44] <squalla_> x channel ???
[03:44] <Travis> lol
[03:44] <Travis> about that wine prog
[03:44] <bromix> your wireless, sapuro
[03:45] <squalla_> what is x channel ???
[03:45] <nextstate> squalla_: I mean a channel about x or xorg
[03:45] <sapuro> bromix my wireless is Ralink
[03:45] <bromix> i have the same... it's super easy, let me get you a link
[03:45] <miranda82__> i unchecked the Intel Pro Wireless Driver, in the restricted drivers manager, and now, every time i try to boot i get either a kernel panic, either a BUG: scheduling while atomic, any way to load the driver again?
[03:45] <squalla_> can you give me ?
[03:45] <nextstate> try #xorg
[03:45] <squalla_> xubuntu ????
[03:45] <unagi_>  ide interface intel 82801fb fbm fr fw frw ich6 family ide controller rev 05........thats what i get with lspci
[03:45] <sapuro> bromix it works fine if I dual boot XP/Feisty, no wireless problems whatsoever
[03:45] <genii> Tinidril: Syntax may be more like:   sudo mdadm -A /dev/md0             (if it is md0 in fact)
[03:45] <sapuro> bromix but when its Vista/Feisty ...
[03:45] <genii> work AFK
[03:46] <Travis> i was trying to run vista
[03:46] <Travis> it sucks
[03:46] <squalla_> #xubuntu
[03:46] <kalleball2> how do you know if you've managed to install the ATI graphics drivers or if you're still running the default drivers?
[03:46] <sapuro> bromix it spots the connection, but no signal strength, and plus, wont take my wep key
[03:46] <Travis> couldnt gt my audio o work
[03:46] <miranda82__> i unchecked the Intel Pro Wireless Driver, in the restricted drivers manager, and now, every time i try to boot i get either a kernel panic, either a BUG: scheduling while atomic, any way to load the driver again?
[03:46] <bromix> doesn't matter what you have for windows..  ubuntu doesn't look at it.
[03:46] <sapuro> Travis its good for gaming u know :o
[03:46] <unagi_> well i like windows media center.........if linux could replicate that ill be happier
[03:46] <Travis> for the ac'97
[03:46] <nextstate> squalla_: you will probably have to manually edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[03:46] <Travis> vista?
[03:46] <bromix> they're totally separate, it would have nothing to do with your networking in Ubunutu
[03:47] <sapuro> bromix that's the big problem, because on the same machine, I tried XP/Ubuntu, and everthing worked fine :o!
[03:47] <Tinidril> I changed assemble to --assemble and got : mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md0
[03:47] <Travis> on a desktop tho right?
[03:47] <Tinidril> If I list the devices it complains : no recogniseable superblock on /dev/sdb
[03:47] <bromix> your problem is in configuration in Ubuntu.  Vista has nothing to do with Ubuntu
[03:47] <Travis> laptops arre kinda shitty with linux
[03:47] <sapuro> bromix i've tried like 10 times or more, reinstalling, using the same procedures, even tried the ones in ubunu help sites,but, nothing
[03:48] <Travis> i liked ubuntu
[03:48] <Travis> miss it
[03:48] <Travis> lol
[03:48] <sapuro> bromix I've configured ubuntu exactly the same way I did before
[03:48] <Skrypt> I'm having a serious issue with Ubuntu. If left to idle for a length of time, the system completely freezes. When rebooting, the GRUB is not recognized. i've attempted to restore the GRUB via Super Grub but that doesn't work. I have to boot from the Super Grub CD. I disabled the screen saver and received a message about swap size being too small or something. (100MB Swap)
[03:48] <Travis> i miss xp too tho
[03:48] <unagi_> can anyone help me with ubuntu not detecting my hd
[03:48] <miranda_____> i unchecked the Intel Pro Wireless Driver, in the restricted drivers manager, and now, every time i try to boot i get either a kernel panic, either a BUG: scheduling while atomic, any way to load the driver again?
[03:48] <sapuro> Travis which one r u using at the moment?
[03:49] <systemd0wn> unagi, you have the latest bios update?
[03:49] <genii> Tinidril: What RAID devices are in your /dev ?
[03:49] <unagi_> yea
[03:50] <systemd0wn> unagi_, using raid or anything like that?   IDE drive or SATA?
[03:50] <NixMan> i once saw a place (i think it was on the official ubuntu site) where you can download the original config files (like sources.list), anyone know of the location?
[03:50] <Tinidril> genii It should be /dev/sdb sdc and sdd.  sdd is currently disconnected
[03:50] <unagi_> not wanting to use raid but i believe it uses raid
[03:50] <snikker> i've got two usb pen drive, but one is mounted in read-write, the second one in read-only mode. Why? (same filesystem for both pen)
[03:50] <unagi_>  ide interface intel 82801fb fbm fr fw frw ich6 family ide controller rev 05 is the lspci output for it
[03:50] <kraut> ICU: hello ;)
[03:50] <ziroday> !source-o-matic | NixMan
[03:50] <ubotu> NixMan: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[03:50] <NixMan> ziroday: thanks
[03:51] <unagi_> systemd0wn:  ide interface intel 82801fb fbm fr fw frw ich6 family ide controller rev 05
[03:51] <bromix> sapuru...is your card the RT2500?
[03:51] <swmiller6> My video card is rated for 32 bit color depth however I am only able to get 24 anyone know how I can get the full 32 bit color depth? The card is an ATI Express M200
[03:51] <Travis> sap, im using mepis
[03:51] <Tinidril> fdisk -l shows both sdb and sdc as Linux raid autodetect
[03:51] <Travis> it has worked besst so far
[03:52] <genii> Tinidril: there is some swith to specify the conf file, i think  if you reissue the mdadm with assemble and put --config=/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf   for it to find the component pieces it may try
[03:52] <Travis> iver tried em all
[03:52] <Travis> almosst
[03:52] <ziroday> swmiller6: that card is highly incompatible with linux. Im not sure if you can get 32 bit
[03:52] <bytecode> Hi, I have a "unchanging" mouse pointer problem on second display of my dual screen system. The mouse pointer icon does not change to indicate activity, i.e. dragging / resizing, busy etc. Whilst on the 2nd display. It stays as whatever pointer-icon it was, when it crossed the screen border. Functionality is not affected - you can still interact - you just don't get the pointer feedback. Feisty 7.04. ATI Technologies Inc RV
[03:52] <bytecode> 380 [Radeon X600] . I used to have this problem with Dapper too - but I corrected it and can't recall how I fixed it.
[03:52] <Tinidril> Prior to last nights freeze up I have been up and working for a couple of months without any problems.
[03:52] <swmiller6> ziroday:yeah kinda of what I figured
[03:52] <bytecode> can anyone otther any pointers (no pun intended)
[03:53] <unagi_> sigh i guess i just need to throw away this alienware laptop
[03:53] <ziroday> swmiller6: if you know how you can try edit your xorg. also are you using the radeon or fglrx driver?
[03:53] <ziroday> unagi_: ill have it
[03:53] <swmiller6> ziroday: already tried that
[03:53] <Tinidril> Thanks ginii I'll try that.  I'm just paranoid that I will do someting to ruin any hope of getting my data back. :(
[03:53] <unagi_> nah....no ones going to give me the price im asking for it so ill just throw it in the garbage
[03:53] <unagi_> 3.4 p4 ht 2 gigs ddr2 quadro 1400
[03:53] <genii> Tinidril: I understand
[03:54] <ziroday> swmiller6: you using radeon or fglrx
[03:54] <genii> Argh, work again.AFK at least a few minutes
[03:54] <SuziQ> No mass storage shows up in lspci.  BUT I have one.  Can I do some command to make it show up??  lspci doesn't do it
[03:54] <unagi_> i guess it could be used as a paperweight
[03:55] <miranda_-_> is there any file that says what restricted drivers the system should load?
[03:55] <unagi_> stupid alienware
[03:56] <swmiller6> ziroday: fglrx
[03:56] <ziroday> swmiller6: you could try the radeon driver. You might lose 3d but you might get 32 bit
[03:56] <SuziQ> miranda: not sure if addressing me or not, but answ = no.  Only my video card but that is okay
[03:56] <swmiller6>  I d rather keep the 3d
[03:57] <ziroday> swmiller6: lol
[03:57] <miranda_-_> SuziQ, so. how does the restricted driver manager works?
[03:57] <unagi_> anyone want to buy my alienware laptop?
[03:57] <bytecode> Hi - I guess no-one has any ideas re: my dual screen mouse pointer problem?
[03:58] <miranda_-_> i unchecked the Intel Pro Wireless Driver, in the restricted drivers manager, and now, every time i try to boot i get either a kernel panic, either a BUG: scheduling while atomic, any way to load the driver again?
[03:58] <Phydoux> unagi_, Not after you said it was 'stupid' :)
[03:59] <unagi_> alienware is stupid
[03:59] <sapuro> bromix sorry for taking too long. My card is Ralink Wireless LAN Card V2
[03:59] <unagi_> but it has some nice stuff inside

[04:02] <eidolon> hi folks, i have a mild gripe, and i'll admit i might be doing something wrong.  I love the adept updater - a nice clean inerface (even if it is gnome :) - but when i get package updates, I get a nice dialog saying the packages, and i can browse them, but i don't see -what changed-.  Why am i installling this update?  Are the 'developer changelogs' completely broken?  (Here's a screenshot of the update i got this morning, I don't know
[04:02] <eidolon>  why I'm getting a tcpdump update) : http://www.homeport.org/~dbs/screenshots/adept-1.png
[04:02] <blackest> hi i've got two routers one running tomato the other one is a belkin 7230 now i think i need to convert the belkin to be an access point but i am not sure how to configure tomato to allow the belkin to connect to it
[04:02] <NixMan> when i run "sudo apt-get update", it gets all the files, but then takes about a minute for "waiting for headers", this problem started recently, i've treid a new sources list, any ideas?
[04:02] <attunix> unagi_: i'm not talking about the computer; i'm talking about the text editor
[04:02] <unagi_> i didnt say anything
[04:04] <attunix> unagi_: didn't you say !mac? :S i asked a question about emacs, and eMac is an apple computer (mac) and emacs is a text editor. sorry
[04:04] <NixMan> when i run "sudo apt-get update", it gets all the files, but then takes about a minute for "waiting for headers", this problem started recently, i've treid a new sources list, any ideas?
[04:04] <eidolon> NixMan: try a new mirror, or perhaps your DNS is hosed.

[04:05] <eidolon> a lot of times slow connects to remote servers are due to reverse dns failing.

[04:09] <savetheWorld> *specific
[04:10] <unagi_> i dont know about this whole internet phone thing
[04:10] <unagi_> what happens when a robber/rapists breaks into your home while the internet is down
[04:10] <unagi_> dial up?
[04:10] <NineTeen67Comet> Well, I know some Vonage phones use cat5 into the back of a cable modem, then your router plugs into the Vonage base .. and does not have open ports for web, ftp etc etc ..

[04:13] <paulux_> hi
[04:13] <sapuro> bromix got any news?
[04:13] <unagi> HI!
[04:13] <paulux_> i've a problem with my d-link g-122
[04:14] <bromix> Have you tried disabling network-manager, and editing your /etc/network/interfaces file?
[04:14] <kevor_> Is the UUID of a harddrive dependand on other things in a system?
[04:14] <paulux_> yes
[04:14] <SuziQ> if my lspci command doesn't show a mass storage anything, does that mean it is not "loading"???
[04:14] <genii> Tinidril: Getting anywhere on the RAID thing yet?
[04:14] <paulux_> the problem is that sometimes the network go down
[04:14] <bromix> that's all I had to do, is not use network-manager...and I manually put my essid and passphrase in and it's worked ever since.
[04:15] <paulux_> thank's a lot
[04:15] <Skrypt> My system hangs. The last message in the System Log Viewer is: Jul 31 06:58:01 Eos kernel: [14891.741680]  PM: suspend-to-disk mode set to 'shutdown'

[04:16] <cberlo> Hi folks!  I know this is samba related, and I'm got a question to them as well, but I thought I'd try here:  using winbind, I can authenticate users on my domain without issue.  Now I'm trying to authenticate trusted domain members as well, and getting an error about "could not identify user (from getpwnam(user))".  Any ideas how to fix this?  Sequence for the trusted domain comes up as "DISCONNECTED", sequence -1.
[04:17] <kevor_> Anyone a clue why a HD with an install won't work on the one system and does work on the other system?
[04:17] <kevor_> must have something to do whith that UUID...
[04:17] <rausb0> SuziQ: are you sure your mass storage device is a pci device?
[04:18] <sapuro> bromix does that mean that everytime I login, I'll have to enter my essid and wepkey, or is it going to be done automatically?
[04:19] <genii> kevor_: Bios may map the drive differently on the two boxes for instance.
[04:19] <kevor_> genii: map the drive? what exactly does that mean?
[04:20] <genii> kevor_: One computer might see the drive with X heads X sectors X cylinders   but computer2 sees it like Y heads Y sectors Y cylinders
[04:21] <kidbuntu> Cant find NVU editor in 7.04
[04:21] <tuxcrafter> does somebody know's a open source linux app , that can sent mobile text messges (SMS)
[04:22] <genii> kevor_: If you go into bios on the computer it works with and write down all the numbers for the drive, on computer2 put the drive in exact same spot on IDE and cable, in bios there, specify exactly heads,cylinders etc as you copied it from the one that works
[04:22] <bulmer> tuxcrafter doesnt gaim do it for you?
[04:22] <kevor_> genii: i've checked, the new system (with a live cd by the way) with dumpe2fs, it gives me the same UUID
[04:23] <Pici> !uuid
[04:23] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[04:23] <kevor_> well, the same HD in the new system gives me the same UUID
[04:23] <CheshireViking> kidbuntu, you need to find kompozer, nvu has been replaced - have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kompozer
[04:23] <bromix> no, it will save it in that file
[04:23] <tuxcrafter> bulmer: gaim cant send sms messages
[04:23] <SuziQ> rausb0: sorry..stpped out...actually, mass storage (laptop) may be pcmcia??  in the same "slot" were the ntwrk card would go, if I had one?
[04:23] <kidbuntu> CheshireViking: thanks
[04:23] <Tremitos> Hi
[04:23] <bromix> i added a line "auto ra0"
[04:23] <SuziQ> is there a way I can see the mass storage for a pcmcia slot??  (newbie here )
[04:23] <rausb0> SuziQ: you mean cardbus slot?
[04:24] <kevor_> genii: calm down ;P
[04:24] <jshriver> Is there a way of echo'ing the STDOUT of program in the backgroun?
[04:24] <bulmer> tuxcrafter which sms server (brand) do you connect to?
[04:24] <rausb0> SuziQ: maybe it is an old pcmcia (not cardbus) card, that only shows up in lspcmcia
[04:24] <sapuro> bromix I'll try that.i didnt know u had that same problem with wireless connectivity :o
[04:24] <tuxcrafter> bulmer: I live in the Netherlands sms are small text messages you can send to mobile phones
[04:24] <cypruser> How do I resize a NTFS partition?
[04:24] <genii> kevor_: At any rate, the uuid has nothing to do with the scenario i am saying.
[04:25] <dead1ock> interest
[04:25] <Pici> cypruser: Use gparted
[04:25] <tuxcrafter> tuxcrafter: programs like skype can send them
[04:25] <kevor_> maybe you misunderstood..
[04:25] <kevor_> let me try again :OP
[04:25] <SuziQ> rausb0: sorry,totally FNG here...cardbus slot?  I don't know...I have a presario laptop and a TI1620 5-1 card reader in the same "area" as where the wireless card would go, but I have built in so I dont use a wrls card...does that make sense??
[04:25] <bulmer> tuxcrafter: yes i know..but do you know what sms server your attempting to connect to? chikka ?
[04:26] <tuxcrafter> bulmer: doesn't matter allong as it works
[04:26] <kevor_> I've an old system, took out the HD and put it in a new one. The HD in the new system, and boot gives me an error the install cannot be loaded, for the /dev/disk/by-uuid/UUID number is not found
[04:26] <tuxcrafter> tuxcrafter: I am looking for an floss linux app that can do it
[04:27] <rausb0> SuziQ: built-in card readers can be pci devices or usb devices. try lsusb.
[04:27] <cypruser> Pici: I tried with GParted but it doesn't let me resize it that much.
[04:27] <SuziQ> the lspcmcia show "yenta cardbus"....is this why I cant get my TI 5-1 sd/mmc cards to work (been trying all links to SD/MMC things to get read/write)
[04:27] <kevor_> sorry if i seem a little fuzzy :)
[04:27] <ubuntuEdgy> can any one help me with dvdauthor. i run dvdauthor -o dvd/ -t /home/user/Desktop/1003_20070530201526.mpg. and im constant errors like WARN: Skipping sector, waiting for first VOBU...
[04:27] <rausb0> SuziQ: and btw, not every sd/mmc reader is supported by linux
[04:27] <genii> kevor_: Ah, OK, that is more clear. Your original description given makes it like you removed the hd from one box, transplanted it to another and it was not working in the new box.
[04:28] <kevor_> genii: exactly :)
[04:28] <SuziQ> rausb0: re: support, is it particular to BRAND types?  I have SD card and 1 MMC card, both aren't recognized
[04:28] <SuziQ> rausb0: sorry, misread comment
[04:29] <genii> kevor_: The OS installed fine to the new HD ut it is giving the uuid errors then
[04:29] <SuziQ> apparently I have found A LOT of info re: TI1620 carbus type reader, but no ideas have worked
[04:29] <rausb0> SuziQ: i meant the card reader, not the cards
[04:29] <SuziQ> yes, sorry, I mis-read your comment
[04:29] <kevor_> genii: have not reinstalled, just migrated the HD :)
[04:30] <rausb0> SuziQ: okay. i don't know about this TI1620 (probably texas instruments) reader either, sorry
[04:30] <Wagner_BR|SE> how can i see the status of firewall?
[04:30] <ejlepouttre> ok i have an issue in my user menu i guess you could call it have log out,switch user lock screen suspend and hibernate and the option to restart and shutdown are mising any ideas?
[04:30] <SuziQ> okay..thanks though...you taught me a new command though :)
[04:31] <rausb0> SuziQ: lspci, lspcmcia and lsusb list devices on the pci, pcmcia and usb bus respectively
[04:31] <SuziQ> my lspcmcia command brings up YENTA cardbus...should I be reading up on YENTA???
[04:32] <rausb0> SuziQ: no, yenta is just the cardbus bridge
[04:32] <SuziQ> thanks...just realized too, it is the same bus ID as the TI1620
[04:32] <SuziQ> oh well...will keep pluggin' away...
[04:33] <rausb0> SuziQ: but certainly not the same vendor/product id?
[04:33] <SuziQ> cam@cam-laptop:~$ lspcmcia
[04:33] <SuziQ> Socket 0 Bridge:        [yenta_cardbus]          (bus ID: 0000:02:04.0)
[04:33] <SuziQ> Socket 1 Bridge:        [yenta_cardbus]          (bus ID: 0000:02:04.1)
[04:34] <rausb0> SuziQ: you can see numerical vendor/product id when running lspci -n
[04:34] <rausb0> SuziQ: no, them lspcmcia output isn't helpful
[04:34] <SuziQ> lspci = 02:04.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1620 PC Card Controller (rev 01)
[04:34] <SuziQ> 02:04.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1620 PC Card Controller (rev 01)

[04:36] <cypruser> I'm trying to use GParted to reduce the size of a NTFS partition. However, it can't reduce the size by more than 646 MB. How do I fix this?
[04:36] <olskolirc> how do i make my terminal buffer longer using Konsole
[04:36] <Timmo> hi
[04:36] <xtknight> cyphase, that NTFS partition is probably using over 646MB of space
[04:36] <ejlepouttre> i have  log out,switch user lock screen suspend and hibernate and the option to restart and shutdown are mising any ideas?
[04:36] <xtknight> cyphase, it has files that are using that space
[04:36] <unagi> cypruser do u have any space to resize it?>
[04:37] <cypruser> I used ntfsresize or something like that to reduce the size to 30G but it doesn't look like that happened.
[04:37] <unagi> um
[04:37] <unagi> how big is the hd
[04:37] <Timmo> would anyone be able to help me out with heartbeat2 ? i have Ubuntu 7.04 server
[04:37] <Timmo> please :)
[04:38] <cypruser> It's 44.69 GB.
[04:38] <unagi> how much is used
[04:39] <cypruser> GParted says that 44.04 GB is used.
[04:39] <unagi> heh
[04:39] <Dr_Link> aaaiigh!
[04:39] <unagi> ironically 600megs differnce
[04:39] <Dr_Link> I put the disk in.
[04:39] <Dr_Link> It completely ignores the ubuntu livecd bootloader and goes to Windows' bootloader.
[04:40] <unagi> Dr_Link: is the bios set to boot of the cd?
[04:40] <Dr_Link> ...how would I set this, and is it permanent until it's unset?
[04:41] <Timmo> would anyone please be able to help me out with heartbeat2 ? i have Ubuntu 7.04 server.  basically the servers keep going "split brain" ie apparently not communicating although i know there is a solid connection between them :(
[04:41] <zuzuzzzip> hi all
[04:41] <mabious> anyone able to help?
[04:41] <murlinn__> yea
[04:41] <SuziQ> can someone help with pastebin thing...just so I have for future ref?  I see screen, but want to "test" paste to see what happens
[04:41] <zuzuzzzip> can anyone help me with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513534
[04:41] <unagi> suziq open a terminal and type lspci and paste the output
[04:41] <sapuro> Dr_Link when  u put the cd in, restart ur computer and keep pressing F12, that should take u to the multi-boot menu
[04:41] <Dr_Link> hardware restart or software restart?
[04:41] <Dr_Link> I am assuming hardware.
[04:42] <unagi> lmao
[04:42] <unagi> sorry
[04:42] <unagi> i wish my webcam worked with ubuntu =/
[04:42] <Dr_Link> This is a Dell. Ack.,
[04:42] <sapuro> Dr_Link hardware restart.completely restart the computer, if it doesnt work, shut it down and then turn it back on, and keep pressing F12
[04:42] <bromix> zuz, did you try editing out the slashes?
[04:42] <Dr_Link> Alright then.
[04:43] <zuzuzzzip> bromix: where?
[04:43] <bulmer> Dr_Link: or put the "boot from cd" as the top priority and make the "boot from hd" way below on the bios, so it has time for the cdrom to be read..
[04:43] <murlinn__> bulmer: i don't think he should be editing bios settings just yet
[04:43] <murlinn__> one thing at at ime
[04:43] <SuziQ> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32041/ this is the url?  I did a lot of "copy" paste ...is that correct? or a shorter way?
[04:43] <unagi> not like thats a hardcore bios edit lol
[04:43] <bulmer> murlinn_ he has been having this difficulty since yesterday..
[04:43] <sapuro> bulmer but that way, it would always try to boot from the cd, which would kinda be time wasting :o, wouldnt it?

[04:46] <SuziQ> rausb0: no..sorry, only eng.
[04:46] <unagi> anyone remember voodoo cards?
[04:46] <Ogedei> it seems that the libapache-mod-dav package works with apache2 as well -- but how can I install it without also pulling in apache1?
[04:46] <chikita> hello, i cant rename applications from principal menu, what can i do?
[04:46] <firefox> I have a F3JP asus laptop but I have try to load ubuntu 7.04 but it comes with errors where i have to load up drivers can someone guild me how to fix this issue
[04:46] <mabious> i do never had one though
[04:46] <bromix> i had 2 of em Unagi
[04:46] <unagi> a whopping 16mb memory
[04:46] <murlinn__> im tech support for the college, 95% of the machines on campus are dells :\
[04:46] <mabus> sapuro: actually mplayer is the one that gives the error... vlc when launched from the terminal just makes the output as if it's playing hte file, but no video/audio to speak of
[04:46] <unagi> or omg......tnt2 with 32!!!
[04:46] <sapuro> bulmer usually F12 is the standard for Dell
[04:46] <bromix> yep, and then I got a 32 i was PROUD!
[04:47] <unagi> 32mb was screaming lol
[04:47] <unagi> 32mb was screaming lol1
[04:47] <unagi> oops
[04:47] <sapuro> mabus humn...intriguing...dont know anything else that I can think of
[04:47] <unagi> i could play half-life!!!
[04:47] <Davy_Jones> murlinn__: what do you think of dell computers?
[04:47] <Barr1> Having probs with network manager, how can i get the little network strength scale icon to appear on my panel?
[04:47] <unagi> dell sucks
[04:47] <mabious> i seem to be missing option to restart and shutdown any idea how to get it back
[04:47] <Davy_Jones> i know dell laptops suck
[04:47] <murlinn__> Davy_Jones: as far as what
[04:47] <rausb0> SuziQ: i only found something a in german ubuntu forum. it seems TI card readers are still badly supported because TI don't give information to developers. if it runs at all, it should do with the tifm kernel module.
[04:47] <zuzuzzzip> mabious: add to panel
[04:47] <chikita> hello, i cant rename applications from principal menu, what can i do to rename it?
[04:47] <bromix> heh, i installed wifi-radar
[04:47] <murlinn__> if you don't have the time or desire to build your own, dell's are great
[04:47] <Davy_Jones> murlinn__: hmm,  performance
[04:48] <unagi> wifi-radar
[04:48] <unagi> whats that
[04:48] <unagi> ew
[04:48] <sapuro> bulmer but then, there's only two more I think F2 or Del key, but many times, those 2 keys r to enter the BIOS
[04:48] <murlinn__> it all depends on how much you are willing to spend, like anything really
[04:48] <zuzuzzzip> bromix: where should i edit out those slashes?
[04:48] <unagi> why would anyone buy a name brand desktop
[04:48] <SuziQ> rausb0: thnkx..I found a lot of the same in eng.  apprntly, there are 'fixes' to this, but despite my tries, it won't work
[04:48] <mabious> thats thew thing zuzuzzzip that icon is there but the shutdown and restart are not in the menu but hibernate switch user etc are
[04:48] <Ogedei> more generally: is there a way to add extra configuration info to a package when installing it with apt-get?
[04:48] <murlinn__> because they are cheap
[04:48] <zuzuzzzip> mabious: weird, can't help you on that one :P
[04:48] <sapuro> bulmer just a matter of giving it a try
[04:48] <unagi> cheap they are
[04:48] <Davy_Jones> unagi: because the internal parts are tested and certified to work with each other
[04:48] <unagi> but cost you more $$ over time
[04:49] <unagi> yea and when a component breaks out of warranty......you get to replace the whole machine
[04:49] <bulmer> sapuro if am not familiar with a mobo's feature..i tend to press f1-12 and see which of those responds...lolz
[04:49] <unagi> not a $50 motherboard
[04:49] <Davy_Jones> unagi: i fried my motherboard once because i installed a gfx card that was not compatible
[04:49] <m0r0n> What is the name of the package with the most important tools for developers. I cant remember the name.
[04:49] <chemturion> hey there, all of the sudden I can't get any audio to play through my speakers or soundcard. I was listening to music OK yeserday, but now I get nothing
[04:49] <murlinn__> what kind of a developer are you ?!
[04:49] <unagi> lol what do yo umean
[04:49] <unagi> you installed pci-x in an agp slot?
[04:49] <unagi> ::tries not to laugh::
[04:49] <Davy_Jones> unagi: no, i'm not that stupid
[04:50] <sapuro> unagi wifi-radar allows u to see wireless networks that are on your range, I think like wireless connectivity doctor that comes in toshiba
[04:50] <murlinn__> must have taken creative use of a hammer somewhere...
[04:50] <snailpapit> though i dunno if that would fit
[04:50] <unagi> well i honestly cant imagine what else you mean
[04:50] <mabious> ok does anyone else know i have no way to shut down unless i use power on pc which cant be all that good
[04:50] <Busata> m0r0n, do you mean build-essential ? or?
[04:50] <rausb0> SuziQ: i am a bit confused by this "firmware loading function"
[04:50] <bulmer> m0r0n: for developing what? certainly a debugger and compiler and ide's plus editors are good to have..lolz

[04:50] <m0r0n> Busata, yes, thank you!!!!

[05:17] <Celt> alsuren: I should have indicated which key to add?

[05:18] <Zee1ot> hi, I have VMware running a few OSs on feisty but it is using less than 100MB of memory for the OSs, is there a limit somewhere that is not allowing vmware to use more? because the guest OS has 1024MB assigned to it
[05:18] <hendrixski> isaac_, gparted can format it for you :-) try it from the liveCD
[05:18] <isaac_> kk thnks
[05:18] <Celt> alsuren: ran the command but says it doesnt exist.
[05:19] <alsuren> erm...
[05:19] <Celt> alsuren: I double checked my spelling.
[05:19] <utopianegra> hola
[05:19] <hendrixski> Zee1ot, I know that on vmware server there's a way to adjust the amount of memory you give it... I would assume vmware player does not
[05:19] <Zee1ot> it has 1024,
[05:20] <alsuren> Celt: did wget save the file as ubuntustudio.gpg?
[05:20] <Zee1ot> but only using 100 of it

[05:21] <Pici> sapuro: er, nevermind.
[05:21] <sapuro> Pici yep why?
[05:21] <Pici> sapuro: I misread.
[05:22] <Zee1ot> the problem is the VM has 1024 assigned to it but is only using less than 100 (when I know XP uses alot more than 100) so maybe feisty is limiting something?
[05:22] <sapuro> Pici no prob

[05:30] <boggieman> it being awhile since i instlled anything on it

[05:30] <werpo> thanks davy jones, btw, i have my ipod transferring songs from that partition to it, should i wait it to finish ??
[05:30] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: only?
[05:30] <boggieman> yes only!!
[05:30] <Myzrael> I have a question people. I want to fix my XP installation by typing fxmbr from the cd command prompt. That will take care of that problem but XP will kill my grub bootloader. Is there an easy way to get it back after a fxmbr?
[05:30] <boggieman> cant chnge highter
[05:30] <scarnia> i've read something about install linux-tree but i cannot find it

[05:34] <werpo> does anybody know how to make the xfce menus transparent without using beryl?
[05:34] <hendrixski> series, oh... I think this could be an easy one... you're not allowed to log into the GUI as root... Ubuntu does that for your protection
[05:34] <hendrixski> series, so you probably need to create a new user
[05:34] <boggieman> theres alot of 640x480 text
[05:34] <series> how do i go about doing that if i cant get into the gui?
[05:35] <series> sorry.  im command dumb :p  zero day linux user

[05:35] <hendrixski> series, though... here's a dirty trick... that you must promise me you'll forget.... type in startx and it *will* get you into the graphical frontend as root.  then create a new user, add them to the "sudoers" group, and log out of root, then log back in as that user :-)

[05:36] <Myzrael> thanks ubotu
[05:36] <Myzrael> You know the answer to my other question maybe as well?
[05:36] <hendrixski> series, you think you got that?  'cause I have to leave in like a minute or two
[05:36] <boggieman> will i get help in pastebin
[05:36] <Davy_Jones> ubotu is a computer generated dream world human

[05:36] <series> hendrixski -- ok...well the reason i wanted to be root in the first place was to install nvidia drivers....it kept telling me when i ran it that it had to be run out of root....how would i go about that without doing what i did...haha
[05:37] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: you won't get help in pastebin
[05:37] <boggieman> will i get help for it in pastebin
[05:37] <Myzrael> series you would run it with "sudo nvidiadriverinstall filehere"
[05:37] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: you can just paste some stuff
[05:37] <hendrixski> series, :-) you don't have to _BE_ root, all you need are root priveledges... which you can do from sudo
[05:37] <boggieman> dam- i kinda need the help now lol... eem
[05:37] <Myzrael> sudo "andherethecommand" gives you root priveliges
[05:37] <boggieman> i found the Section "Screen"
[05:37] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: did you see the 640x480 text?
[05:38] <hendrixski> series, for example  "sudo make install nVidia-drivers" will run that command with root priveledges, but you're not logged in as root
[05:38] <boggieman> and i see 640x480
[05:38] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: ok.. after the "640x480" text press space and insert "800x600"
[05:38] <series> hendrixski -- ok i think i understand....thanks
[05:38] <hendrixski> series, because being logged in as root is dangerous :-( and everyone here will tell you the same thing: don't do it
[05:38] <boggieman> it is outside the "modes
[05:38] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: in all the lines under Section "Screen"
[05:38] <unagi> i dont think wifi-radar works
[05:38] <series> hendrixski- gonna go try this now.  running back across the complex :D
[05:39] <Davy_Jones> boggieman: it should say Modes     "640x480"
[05:39] <hendrixski> series,   :-) hope that helps... I gotta go.  Good luck, and welcome to Ubuntu..  I'm sure you'll LOVE it... we've all made those kinds of mistakes, but the end goal is all worth it
[05:39] <cachapa> hi, I need help. I just lost the sound on my system and have been searching everywhere on the net without any luck, so far

[05:46] <teer2> Hi - what is a command-line tool for playing a sound file with no GUI interface?
[05:46] <arrg> ?
[05:46] <ritzcracker> what did i do wrong?
[05:46] <cachapa> ritzcracker: something about no sound card being installed
[05:47] <DBO> thanks Pici
[05:47] <Pici> ritzcracker: Ignore it.
[05:47] <liquiddoom> teer2: I think there's a command called "play"
[05:47] <ritzcracker> will the mixer still open though even though theres an error
[05:47] <Kohvihoor> has anyone used xfs filesystem?
[05:47] <Pici> Thanks DBO :)
[05:47] <teer2> liquiddoom: Thanks so much.
[05:47] <cachapa> it was sudden. I was playing around with virtual machines, and i made a mistake with the user groups for my account
[05:47] <ritzcracker> for example can u go to File, edit, help
[05:47] <cachapa> the problem with the user groups is now fixed, but htis came from nowhere
[05:48] <Kohvihoor> is there something to be worried about, if i format my one disc into xfs?
[05:48] <ritzcracker> even though it prompts you with an error
[05:48] <UberPsyX> i think i broke my x server and need help fixing it, i have no idea what im doing or whats wrong
[05:48] <cachapa> the volume control doesn't open
[05:48] <armyriad> You should've banned ubotu, too. He was spamming too.
[05:48] <peeps_work> is there a way to make a sudo command recognize the path of the user calling sudo?
[05:48] <ritzcracker> okay
[05:48] <ritzcracker> one moment
[05:48] <scarnia> Hi to all, how could i recompile my kernel (2.6.20-16) starting from the options it actually have?
[05:48] <cachapa> No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
[05:48] <Pici> peeps_work: What do you mean?
[05:48] <teer2> liquiddoom: Which package is it under?  splay ?
[05:48] <Dr_Link> Alright, I have a problem. I booted from the live CD, it worked fine, and while in the Installer, I got myself into the Partitioning stage of installation.
[05:48] <ramirex> hola
[05:48] <barbie> hi, i want to control openoffice impress via a remote shell(running on my mobile phone)... can i do so??/
[05:48] <Dr_Link> I had 4 partitions.
[05:48] <codesnik> tell me please, how should i install software, not listed in repositories. is there a way to easily create a package for anything compiled from tarball with sources?
[05:49] <boggieman> boggieman
[05:49] <peeps_work> Pici: i have ~/bin as part of my path, but when I use sudo to execute a script in that directory, it cannot find it
[05:49] <Dr_Link> Free space, NTFS, Fat32, and Fat16.
[05:49] <ritzcracker> try doing this
[05:49] <liquiddoom> teer2: no clue, sorry
[05:49] <ritzcracker> in bios, disable the onboard sound device, and start up the OS
[05:49] <Dr_Link> But the free space is labeled as only 8 megabytes!
[05:49] <ritzcracker> then once in the os
[05:49] <codesnik> peeps_work: sudo changes path to some "safe default"
[05:49] <ritzcracker> restart
[05:49] <murlinn__> Dr_Link: : one (if not both) of the FAT partitions are the recovery partitions from dell
[05:49] <series> is there a way to add a new user via terminal
[05:49] <ritzcracker> enable it

[05:49] <Dr_Link> :o
[05:49] <radhios> ramirex: ve a #ubuntu-lat o #ubuntu-ar
[05:49] <ritzcracker> and if it goes well the os should automadicly reinstall it
[05:49] <peeps_work> codesnik, can I override that?
[05:49] <arrg> is there any NTFS or cd burning software or usb massstoragedevice drivers that will work without  HAL
[05:49] <cachapa> ritzcracker: ok, I will try it
[05:49] <ritzcracker> the drivers for it
[05:49] <radhios> ramirex: este canal es en ingles
[05:49] <murlinn__> if you want to install ubuntu to your hard drive, your going to have to partition some space
[05:50] <Dr_Link> murlinn__: Ah. Well, in that case, where do I partition? Free space or NTFS?
[05:50] <arrg> or could someone help me fix it
[05:50] <liquiddoom> teer2: I don't have it installed >_<
[05:50] <cachapa> ritzcracker: if I don't come back, it's because it worked: thanks :-)
[05:50] <codesnik> peeps_work: i thought this is something compiled into sudo executable
[05:50] <ritzcracker> np
[05:50] <barbie> i want to control openoffice impress via a remote shell(running on my mobile phone)... can i do so??
[05:50] <murlinn__> the free space should only be 8mb or so, can't install anything there :p
[05:50] <teer2> liquiddoom: :)
[05:50] <codesnik> peeps_work: but maybe i'm wrong
[05:50] <peeps_work> codesnik, it didn't seem to do this on fedora core 5
[05:50] <murlinn__> what you need to do now is find a 3rd party partition tool and set aside some space from your ntfs partition
[05:50] <liquiddoom> barbie: can your phone do X? openoffice is a graphical application and needs X forwarding
[05:51] <barbie> liquiddoom, no i can run a terminal in my phone over bluetooth

[05:55] <tcstech> Uberpsyx have you tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' ?
[05:55] <murlinn__> Dr_Link: do you have a floppy drive
[05:55] <cachapa> ritzcracker: errr... there's no option to disable the soundcard in the bios
[05:55] <Pici> j^2: What do you need to upgrade it to?
[05:55] <Dr_Link> ...No.
[05:55] <murlinn__> heh
[05:55] <Dr_Link> Just a hard disk and a CD+RW burner.
[05:55] <murlinn__> i have a free program i use at work, but its on a floppy

[05:55] <murlinn__> i don't have a floppy on my home computer either, heh
[05:55] <taime1> badar: yes
[05:56] <ritzcracker> cachapa: are you sure you said it was intergrated right? it should be in intergrated perhipals or however its spelld
[05:56] <cachapa> there's nothing like that in the bios
[05:56] <series> ritzcracker: the only thing i can get to is the terminal prompt
[05:56] <ritzcracker> what kind of system do you have?
[05:56] <UberPsyX> tcstech, well i tried sudo dpkg-configure -phigh xorg.conf
[05:56] <j^2> Pici: it seems that it's running like 2.0.55 or something, really out of date

[05:56] <badar> taime1, i had the exact same problem as u on friend's PC. Couldn't find a way to sole though :(
[05:57] <cachapa> it's a standard bios, but there are not a lot of advanced options
[05:57] <ritzcracker> so its a laptop
[05:57] <cachapa> yeah
[05:57] <taime1> badar: damn... i love vlc... and i only have this problem on this machine...i run feisty on others and dont get that problem
[05:57] <Pici> j^2: Yeah, that looks like the latest version published to the Dapper repositories.

[05:57] <j^2> Pici: i'm sol?
[05:57] <j^2> :(
[05:57] <ritzcracker> okay let me think for a second
[05:57] <ritzcracker> ill help ya figure it out
[05:57] <Dr_Link> murlinn__: Well, in this case... I dunno if I can install Ubuntu, I have free space, NTFS, Fat32, and Fat16 partition. But the problem with Free Space is that it says it's only worth 8 MB.
[05:57] <series> thanks ritz
[05:57] <ritzcracker> np series
[05:57] <Pici> j^2: If you dont want to upgrade, yes. Sorry :(
[05:58] <j^2> Pici: laammee thanks though :D
[05:58] <ritzcracker> What were you doing again when the sound stoped working?
[05:58] <tcstech> disregaurd the freespace Dr_link  it is there to conform to partition sizes having to be a power of 2 ect.
[05:58] <murlinn__> Dr_Link: you have to resize your ntfs partition, and when you do the free space partition will grow, then you can use that
[05:58] <cachapa> i was installing virtual machine software
[05:58] <cachapa> VirtualBox
[05:58] <cachapa> i think that was it
[05:58] <Dr_Link> murlinn__: >_> How?
[05:59] <tcstech> you really going to mess with partition sizes to regain 8mb?
[05:59] <zuzuzzzip> question: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=513534
[05:59] <cachapa> because i had to use the virtual box group to my user, but i made a mistake and removed the admin group
[05:59] <Dr_Link> .
[05:59] <murlinn__> i don't know of a free program that doesn't destroy your data
[05:59] <Dr_Link> tcstech: No. I'm trying to get more space under "Free Space"
[05:59] <cachapa> then i rebooted in single user mode to recover, and when i came back, i had no sound
[05:59] <Dr_Link> murlinn__: fdisk? >_<
[05:59] <murlinn__> that will work, yes
[05:59] <bimmelim> this morning my ubuntu desktop claimed that processor scaling ( setting frequency ) was not present. It worked fine the other day, but now the relevant /sys directories are gone. How do I fix this?
[05:59] <ritzcracker> okay do this boot into prompt instead of GDM
[05:59] <murlinn__> but you will lose all your data
[05:59] <ritzcracker> and as root startx
[05:59] <ritzcracker> see if your sound works as root
[05:59] <cachapa> ok
[05:59] <cachapa> brb
[05:59] <Dr_Link> ...murlinn__: Aww DAMMIT.
[05:59] <murlinn__> :\
[06:00] <caner> hey i cant make bmc4310 wireless driver work. i ve installed a driver via nidswrapper. but in the ui of ndiswrapper there writes hardware present:no
[06:00] <tcstech> Ahh  ..  well then..  best thing to do is to defrag the ntfs partition in windows and then run qtparted when back in ubuntu..
[06:00] <caner> is there a way to get bcm4310 to work (feisty amd64)
[06:00] <murlinn__> Dr_Link: are you seriously thinking about having ubuntu as your main os?
[06:00] <caner> i am about to cry
[06:00] <tcstech> its as easy as right click the ntfs part and select resize.
[06:00] <Dr_Link> I want it as a second OS, NOT a main one.
[06:00] <murlinn__> hmm
[06:01] <marcos> podes crer
[06:01] <murlinn__> if it was me, i'd just delete your fat32 and fat16 partitions, just make sure you have a windows install cd somewhere in case you ever have to reinstall

[06:02] <pike__> Wayah: its prob just a setting in alsamixer like the volume is turned down and whatnot
[06:02] <murlinn__> dell basically copies the install cd to that partition anyway, and adds drivers and such for your hardware
[06:02] <murlinn__> if you have the actual cd, i'd just use that
[06:02] <tcstech> qtparted would not let you resize the ntfs partition?
[06:02] <Wayah> I have the newest install of ubuntu but sound is only coming out of the right channel of my laptop
[06:02] <murlinn__> this way you can get a sizable (8-10gb) partition for ubuntu
[06:02] <murlinn__> Wayah: your sound cable is only half way plugged in !!
[06:03] <Wayah> it is a laptop
[06:03] <Wayah> laptop
[06:03] <tcstech> yeah .. the 7.04 install CD should resize the ntfs partition for you if you let it...
[06:03] <murlinn__> well, i lose :(
[06:03] <Wayah> yup ;)
[06:03] <pike__> Wayah: open a terminal and run 'alsamixer'  you can use the arrow keys to scroll through, the up and down arrows to up volume and the < and > keys to enable stuff MM'd out
 if you have the actual cd, i'd just use that <--- For if I need to reinstall, you mean?
[06:04] <murlinn__> right
[06:04] <pike__> just run an mp3 while youre doing it or play a movie
[06:04] <Dr_Link> Of course, I do have the driver CD.
[06:04] <cachapa> ritzcracker: sound works under root
[06:04] <ritzcracker> thought so
[06:04] <murlinn__> then shoot dell in the foot for taking some of your hard drive space and dedicating it to something you'll never use!
[06:04] <cachapa> could it be that i'm missing some required group for sound, or something?
[06:04] <ritzcracker> your using the repaired admin to login to gdm correct?
[06:04] <cachapa> yes
[06:04] <Dr_Link> So it'd be safe to delete those partitions, since Windows runs pretty much everything on NTFS, murlinn__?
[06:04] <ritzcracker> now try this
[06:05] <murlinn__> i would, yes
[06:05] <ritzcracker> open terminal right now and add a new user
[06:05] <ritzcracker> login to that new user see if sound works
[06:05] <pike__> cachapa: if it isnt the default user created during install yeah. what does 'groups' command say?
[06:05] <murlinn__> boot back into xp, and make sure you only have one drive showing up under local disks
[06:05] <murlinn__> and if you do, go ahead and delete the fat partitions and let the installer use that space
[06:06] <tcstech> its a Dell Dr_link?  why didnt you say so... that is just utilities for dell recovery, diag, ect ..useless for a power user.
[06:06] <merlin__> t
[06:06] <cachapa> pike__: cachapa admin vboxusers
[06:06] <murlinn__> !!!
[06:06] <Dr_Link> power user, tcstech?
[06:06] <ritzcracker> lol
[06:06] <murlinn__> lol
[06:06] <pike__> cachapa: yeah youre missing some stuff
[06:06] <tcstech> its so they have something to do when you call their phone tech support
[06:06] <cachapa> eheh
[06:06] <ritzcracker> are you still using vboxusers
[06:06] <cachapa> yeah
[06:06] <ritzcracker> i see your problem now
[06:06] <cachapa> i should remove it
[06:06] <ritzcracker> well
[06:06] <cachapa> i uninstalled virtualbox
[06:06] <ritzcracker> if you want
[06:07] <murlinn__> yea, they have a program similar to remote desktop on it, that somehow goes through 90% of firewall rules...
[06:07] <IceLink> hey here
[06:07] <tcstech> "click this ...run that... its not covered under wrty srry... blah blah"
[06:07] <Dr_Link> HAH
[06:07] <ritzcracker> okay do the following ok
[06:07] <series> ritzcracker - i couldn't get that to work for me.  here is a more in detail explanation of my problem.  under user accts i changed my user acct to root directory.  now ubuntu wont let me login...it keeps kicking me back out to the login screen.  so i change session to "failsafe terminal session" as that is the only way I can even get to anything.  using the commands u recommended i still could not establish a new user so that i would h
[06:07] <IceLink> i've got a problem with ndiswrapper...
[06:07] <Dr_Link> I don't trust tech support.
[06:07] <sapuro> Dr_Link hey r u still here?
[06:08] <bullgard4> What is the most common use of the D program packe 'trac'?
[06:08] <Cleri1> hi my firefox just crashed, how can i get rid of the window i.e. 'CTRL+ALT+DEL' equivalent?
[06:08] <tcstech> <-- is a tech  (but not for Dell (but fixes them daily))
[06:08] <Dr_Link> Yeah.
[06:08] <ritzcracker> whatever editing program you use
[06:08] <sapuro> Dr_Link did u manage to get the F12 to the multi-boot options?
[06:08] <Dr_Link> Yep.
[06:08] <murlinn__> <-- is also a tech, but not for dell, for a college
[06:08] <ritzcracker> go to /etc/passwd
[06:08] <IceLink> after upgrading to feisty, it worked(!), after reusing my wlan-stick, it didn't work until i 'killed' prism2_usb, then i reused the stick again and it doesnt' work anyway, the msg does not change: "driver installed, hardware present (alternate driver: prism2_usb)
[06:08] <ritzcracker> be careful
[06:08] <tcstech> CTRL+ALT+ESC should start xkill
[06:08] <bullgard4> What is the most common use of the DEB program package 'trac'?
[06:08] <Dr_Link> That's how I got LiveCD to work.
[06:08] <cachapa> so uhhh.. what groups should i add?
[06:08] <ritzcracker> where you see the user admin
[06:08] <Dr_Link> Alright,
[06:08] <genii> series: You need to revert the home dir for that user back to it's defaults. It can't run X because nothing in root's dir can be used by that name
[06:08] <belgarath_> Anyone know the difference between Geforce7600 GS and Geforce 7600 GT ?
[06:09] <tcstech> then click the stuck window... program dies... muhaha ha
[06:09] <ritzcracker> change virtualbox
[06:09] <ritzcracker> to admin
[06:09] <series> genii -- anyway to do that via the terminal
[06:09] <cachapa> and how do I remove the vboxusers group?
[06:09] <Wayah> pike_ look at your PM please
[06:09] <nullset> what should i get if i log in to another console
[06:09] <nullset> and then become root
[06:09] <genii> series: Yes. Can you get actual root login?
[06:09] <cachapa> ritzcracker: I already have admin
[06:09] <Dr_Link> Yep.
[06:09] <nullset> and type /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[06:09] <ritzcracker> you have one admin right
[06:09] <ritzcracker> its the first set then it goes something like
[06:09] <genii> series: Or, can you login your normal name just not into the gui
[06:09] <empireeed> can i get some help? i had an old asus video card in my computer, i just installed an NVidia card (128MB) cause i heard it was supported, but the GUI failed and now im in a DOS screen..
[06:10] <sapuro> Dr_link ok
[06:10] <ritzcracker> :x:1000x100:virtualbox
[06:10] <Dr_Link> Turns out, the only drive I've got under Local Disk is C:, the NTFS drive.
[06:10] <series> genii-  when i login via failsafe terminal session it says im in root directory
[06:10] <sapuro> Dr_Link ok
[06:10] <tcstech> cleri1 did you try xkill on it?
[06:10] <empireeed> is there an easy way to get ubutu to reload and get my video driver installed
[06:10] <nullset> what should be the output ??
[06:10] <ritzcracker> for example
[06:10] <murlinn__> wipe the fat partitions !!!
[06:10] <cachapa> ritzcracker: can you tell me what file i should be editting?
[06:10] <pike__> empireeed: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose NV driver
[06:10] <series> genii-- im logging in via my normal name but the gui wont allow me access...so i use failsafe terminal session.  just need ot know how to change the directory back
[06:10] <ritzcracker> the file is
[06:10] <Dr_Link> So it should be safe to delete the Fat16 and Fat32 partitions, right murlinn__?
[06:10] <ritzcracker> /etc/shadow
[06:10] <cachapa> i forgot the filename and path :P
[06:10] <murlinn__> yeup
[06:10] <Dr_Link> Alright
[06:10] <ritzcracker> i mean
[06:10] <ritzcracker> grr
[06:10] <ritzcracker> /etc/passwd
[06:11] <Dr_Link> time to reboot into Ubuntu.
[06:11] <pike__> empireeed: then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to bring gui back
[06:11] <genii> series: OK. So do: mount -a -o rw
[06:11] <ritzcracker> in there look for your user admin
[06:11] <ritzcracker> let me know when you see it
[06:11] <cachapa> uhh
[06:12] <cachapa> can't find a user admin
[06:12] <genii> series: The you should be able to write to files again. Then you need to run the vipw command and change the home dir in there to the proper home dir for that name.
[06:12] <ritzcracker> you dont see a user admin in /etc/passwd
[06:12] <empireeed> pike > thank you, but now it wants the size of my video card in kB and its a 128
[06:12] <congtu> holy cow! this room is huge
[06:12] <werpo> Thanks to everybody who helped me here!!!
[06:12] <empireeed> would that be 128 000?
[06:12] <cachapa> ritzcracker: no
[06:12] <congtu> why there are so many people use ubuntu
[06:12] <congtu> :D
[06:12] <sapuro> congtu cause ubuntu rocks :D
[06:12] <congtu> ehehehe
[06:12] <ritzcracker> hit me up in private msg
[06:12] <cachapa> cat /etc/passwd |grep admin
[06:12] <cachapa> gnats:x:41:41:Gnats Bug-Reporting System (admin):/var/lib/gnats:/bin/sh
[06:13] <cachapa> i don't know how to private
[06:13] <genii> series: The vipw command uses some odd keystrokes.   If you mess up exit without saving by:  :q!
[06:13] <cachapa> this is a weird irc client :P
[06:13] <ritzcracker> i just msg you
[06:13] <cachapa> ok
[06:13] <genii> series: Otherwise just use    :q      if the edit was not messed up
[06:13] <series> genii - saying "only root can do that"
[06:14] <genii> series so issue the command with sudo in front
[06:14] <ritzcracker> cachapa: do you any messanger aside from irc
[06:14] <cachapa> msn
[06:14] <ritzcracker> hit me up, foreverlost451@hotmail.com
[06:14] <ritzcracker> ill be on ine a second
[06:14] <cachapa> ok tnx
[06:15] <genii> series: If you did not do the mount -a -o rw     with sudo   it should have given you some error message also
[06:15] <series> genii
[06:15] <pike__> empireeed: choose the option to let it detect it. (leave it blank)
[06:15] <series> i did sudo mount -a -o rw -- it just gave me terminal line again
[06:15] <empireeed> PIKE THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
[06:16] <empireeed> it worked, now loaded. should i get a custom driver now? or leave the generic nvidia?
[06:16] <pike__> empireeed: bear in mind this is the open source driver. for 3d youd do the command sudo apt-get isntall nvidia-glx; sudo nvidia-xconfig    <-- or use the nvidia-glx-new or legacy.
[06:17] <pike__> empireeed: id get the nvidia driver myself. i like them fps games
[06:17] <genii> series: So then just do the:    sudo vipw             then, edit the home dir to the proper one, and exit with    :qw   or   :q   so it confirms overwriting. If you mess up the edit, exit with   :q!  instead and reissue the   sudo vipw
[06:17] <pike__> empireeed: nv is fine for 2d though.
[06:17] <genii> work, AFK 1-2 mins
[06:17] <empireeed> i just wanted to use WINE for poker games.
[06:17] <pike__> empireeed: youre good then
[06:17] <empireeed> i got world of warcraft too.
[06:17] <empireeed> never played before but i just got it.
[06:18] <pike__> lol just remember the dpkg-reconfigure command to go back to nv if you get in trouble
[06:18] <empireeed> ill load the other one, i got my wireless usb adapter loaded, i love this ubuntu, just need to get more familiar.
[06:18] <empireeed> i wrote it down thanks
[06:19] <DBO> empireeed, just in case... there is a program called irssi, it will let you get on IRC from a text console to get help
[06:19] <Wayah> if there is anyone that can tell a noobie how to get my sound to work please pm me
[06:19] <DBO> empireeed, we dont want to lose you over some silly driver issue =)
[06:19] <DBO> Wayah, you want private help?
[06:19] <empireeed> il get that now, thanks DBO
[06:19] <series> genii -  you still there?
[06:20] <empireeed> thanks pike and DBO, i appreciate it.

[06:21] <genii> series: Yes, i am around. At work so i get called away once in a while
[06:21] <kalleball> i've installed the ati proprietary drivers and all compiz fusion packages but when i run compiz --replace as the tutorial says, nothing happens, anyone here able to help out?
[06:21] <KokoBoko> when ive tried to install skype it writes me back libasound2 >1.0.12 libc6>2.3.6-6
[06:21] <SORMANOV> how can i prevent passwd from accepting simple passwords ?
[06:21] <CyberCod> hello everyone
[06:21] <sapuro> kalleball how did u install the ati proprietary drivers?
[06:22] <kalleball> i used envy.
[06:22] <CyberCod> anyone have time to field a question about laptop sata harddrives?
[06:22] <Ditiris> I can't install from a CD-ROM.  I get "bash: ./xinfo: Permission denied" even though I have execute permission for all files on the CD-ROM.  Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
[06:22] <kalleball> i've tried to install them without it several times and it's always failed.
[06:22] <sapuro> kalleball what exactly is envy?
[06:22] <kalleball> no idea.
[06:23] <kalleball> some script that downloads and installs ati/nvidia drivers.
[06:23] <pike__> script to install latest nvidia using the install from their site  i believe
[06:23] <erUSUL> !envy
[06:23] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[06:23] <sapuro> kalleball u've  used something and u dont know what it is? :s
[06:23] <kalleball> now i know what it is =p
[06:23] <YoshiBishi> hello, my ubuntu is royally fucked =/
[06:23] <sapuro> kalleball where did u get it from?
[06:24] <kalleball> i've tried using the instructions on the wiki several times and it's fucked up royally every time.
[06:24] <YoshiBishi> Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds.  If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace.  Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem
[06:24] <erUSUL> !language
[06:24] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:24] <kalleball> um...some site...i can find the url..

[06:24] <CyberCod> guess I'm invisible
[06:24] <YoshiBishi> im just mad that changing the splash screen resulted in my ubuntu not working anymore
[06:25] <tck>  CyberCod just ask
[06:25] <tck> dont ask to ask
[06:25] <pike__> CyberCod: best to just throw the question out there and see if somone knows
[06:25] <kalleball> sapuro: apparently i have to register to pm.
[06:25] <derrin> Hi!   Anyboidy know about gtk-recordMyDesktop?   My install on feisty won't work - tells me "could not open/configure sound card".
[06:26] <CyberCod> I need to replace a sata laptop drive... and i'm wondering if the connector placement is standardized
[06:26] <sapuro> kalleball register to pm? dont really get what pm is.lol
[06:26] <CyberCod> or if I need to get the exact same drive
[06:27] <kalleball> i registered...and set it to unfiltered...and sent you a pm.
[06:27] <YoshiBishi> Hi, I changed my splash screen and login window and now my ubuntu doesnt work anymore...
[06:28] <awg> hi all.  quick question about upgrading: i'm currently on dapper, and would like to upgrade to feisty.  is there a recommended upgrade path, or will a direct upgrade work fine?
[06:29] <pike__> !upgrade | awg
[06:29] <KokoBoko> when ive tried to install skype it writes me back libasound2 >1.0.12 libc6>2.3.6-6
[06:29] <ubotu> awg: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[06:29] <armyriad> I got error 17 while loading GRUB. How do I fix this?
[06:29] <KokoBoko> when ive tried to install skype it writes me back libasound2 >1.0.12 libc6>2.3.6-6
[06:29] <pike__> awg: i upgraded to edgy then feisty as the jump straight to feisty caused badness
[06:30] <awg> pike__: thanks.  i'll probably do that, to be safe.
[06:30] <KokoBoko> when ive tried to install skype it writes me back libasound2 >1.0.12 libc6>2.3.6-6
[06:30] <KokoBoko> will someone help me?
[06:31] <mattva01> buntu
[06:31] <KokoBoko> when ive tried to install skype it writes me back libasound2 >1.0.12 libc6>2.3.6-6
[06:31] <YoshiBishi> sigh..
[06:31] <YoshiBishi> whats wrong with this OS =_=
[06:31] <pike__> KokoBoko: i often get around that by making a symlink to the old lib named the lib version its looking for. thats a lazy way
[06:31] <teiwaz_idle> greetings all
[06:32] <KokoBoko> explain me
[06:32] <KokoBoko> im noob
[06:32] <KokoBoko> in linux
[06:32] <kimohat> greeting to all
[06:32] <kalleball> is there a specific channel where i can get help installing compiz fusion?
[06:32] <cabrioleur> im noob too, in general.
[06:32] <KokoBoko> i just want to install skype
[06:32] <KokoBoko> will u help me
[06:33] <KokoBoko> or not
[06:33] <cabrioleur> KokoBoko, go to unofficial faq for ubuntu. http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[06:33] <teiwaz_idle> anyone know of a way to tunnel a full xwindow session over ssh?  I can run specific commands which work, but I'm looking for a whole xwindow session that's tunneled
[06:33] <KokoBoko> and?
[06:34] <pike__> KokoBoko: what is the version in /usr/lib you get when you 'locate libasound' in a terminal. btw i never had any issue installing skype
[06:34] <YoshiBishi> Hello, I just changed my splash screen and login window, now beryl doesnt run and half a dozen other things seem to be messed up.
[06:34] <teiwaz_idle> I've used xdmcp, but that's not secure, so I don't want to open it to wan-side connections
[06:34] <cabrioleur> And the instruction is up there.
[06:34] <finalbeta> KokoBoko: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/
[06:34] <KokoBoko> finalbeta
[06:34] <YoshiBishi> ...
[06:34] <KokoBoko> i downloaded the file
[06:34] <KokoBoko> but when i start it
[06:34] <armyriad> I got error 17 while loading GRUB. How do I fix this?
[06:35] <preaction> !enter | KokoBoko
[06:35] <ubotu> KokoBoko: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:35] <KokoBoko> it writes me back an error
[06:35] <teiwaz_idle> I've also gotten the ssh tunnel working lan side, so I know it can be done, I'm just having trouble finding which additional ports to open
[06:35] <riko_> solo
[06:35] <pike__> KokoBoko: you following these instructions? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
[06:36] <KokoBoko> yes
[06:37] <KokoBoko> 1 second to copy u what it writes me
[06:37] <teiwaz_idle> hrm... anyone have any ideas where else to look for help?  yes, I've RTFM, and googled for all I'm worth
[06:37] <pike__> KokoBoko: open a terminal and type 'locate libasound | grep /usr/lib' what does it say?
[06:37] <Cleric> when i use the terminal, i can type commands but when it asks for my password, i cant type any letters
[06:38] <pike__> Cleric: it doesnt echo them but it will work just type and hit enter
[06:38] <stanthecaddy22> Cleric: are you sure? when typing passwords it doesnt show any characters but it is being typed
[06:38] <genii> teiwaz_idle: What is your exact issue again?
[06:39] <KokoBoko> pike__ /usr/lib/libasound.so.2
[06:39] <KokoBoko> /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0
[06:39] <teiwaz_idle> basically, I'm trying to get a full xwindow session over ssh'
[06:39] <dakira> hey.. any wifi pros here?
[06:39] <genii> teiwaz_idle: OK, lemme poke around
[06:39] <Cleric> pike & stan: yes but when i type in my password and press enter it states 'su:authentication failure'
[06:39] <teiwaz_idle> I can run specific commands, and I can get it to work lan side
[06:39] <genii> teiwaz_idle: OK, lemme poke around
[06:40] <teiwaz_idle> but the second I go wan side, it's not working, and I can't for the life of me find out which additional ports I need to forward
[06:40] <KokoBoko> pike__ when i try to install skype it writes me error: dependency is not satisfiable libasound2
[06:40] <genii> Sorry for dbl post
[06:40] <teiwaz_idle> (what I'm going for is basically a secured xdmcp type connection)
[06:40] <pike__> KokoBoko: this is a deb file? im not too up on dpkg
[06:41] <cabrioleur> KokoBoko, execute as root: apt-get install libasound2
[06:41] <teiwaz_idle> as opposed to just VNC or running specific commands over an ssh cli
[06:41] <knoppix> hello
[06:41] <pike__> teiwaz_idle: considered freenx?
[06:41] <bimmelim_> Please help:  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq is gone. How do I bring it back?
[06:41] <KokoBoko> cabrioleur
[06:41] <KokoBoko> how to do it?

[06:42] <teiwaz_idle> I saw that, but it looked like freenx either wouldn't run on ubuntu, or I couldn't connect from windows (I forget which, but I know I've tried it)

[06:42] <dakira> I've got a dlink (pci) card with an atheros chipset, so I'm  using the madwifi driver. the interface wlan0 and the virtual interface ath0 have been automatically created. networkmanager won't allow me to connect to a wpa protected network. since I had this problem on another box where deactivating NM and just using /etc/network/interfaces helped, I did the same here. No dice.. I can't connect to the network. Also there is a funny ath0:avahi
[06:42] <dakira> interface which seems to interfer with the ath0 interface.. any clues?
[06:42] <Xecuter88> has anyone got the same problem?

[06:43] <Cleric> can anyone help me install java - im having issues with the terminal
[06:43] <Aeudian> Is there a way when using smbclient to connect to a server 2003, to take the smb share that you connect to and map it to a drive name on your desktop?
[06:43] <teiwaz_idle> yeah
[06:43] <teiwaz_idle> use cifs
[06:43] <teiwaz_idle> you trying to do it secure or not?
[06:43] <gubluntu> how do i open applications on another logged in user when remotely connected via ssh?
[06:43] <j3g> is there a easy way to update an installation withtout directly using the network? (like using pen drives or cds)
[06:44] <gubluntu> like firefox DISPLAY=somethinsomething ?
[06:44] <j3g> s/withtout/without
[06:44] <KokoBoko> cabrioleur ideas ?
[06:44] <teiwaz_idle> secure involves creating credentials, if unsecured, you can just manually type in username and pass in /etc/fstab
[06:44] <stanthecaddy22> gubluntu: if you have the password type "su [username] " to log in as user then type commands
[06:44] <xtknight> how do i get a count of the number of lines in a file that start with XYZ?
[06:44] <teiwaz_idle> aeudian, that was directed at you, sorry
[06:44] <gubluntu> stanthecaddy22: i tried
[06:44] <gubluntu> stanthecaddy22: still says failed to open on display blah and blah
[06:45] <KokoBoko> pike__ ?
[06:45] <pike__> KokoBoko: can you pastebin the output?
[06:45] <stanthecaddy22> gubluntu: ah i see what you are trying to do, my mistake. I'm not sure how to/if you can do that
[06:45] <Aeudian> teiwaz_idle so there is no way of doing it under smbclient? or with mount? reason being i am looking for a generic way of mounting these shares on linux and on OSX but OSX doesnt have cifs
[06:45] <cabrioleur> xtknight: cat -n
[06:45] <amartolos> hey guys, is reiserfs more useful than ext3? i just do office tasks like word etc, maybe some movies
[06:45] <teiwaz_idle> smbclient has some errors
[06:46] <teiwaz_idle> I'm doing just that with cifs to connect to my windows 2k3 server
[06:46] <phoenixz> When I use the sudo command I get this: "sudo: cannot get working directory" any idea on how to fix this

[06:46] <teiwaz_idle> cifs essentially mimics smb as far as your server is concerned, so no worries there I believe
[06:46] <xtknight> cabrioleur, ok i can get the number of each line with "cat -n", however i need to single out lines that start with a sequence of 3 bytes.  looking at the manual for cat, that doesnt seem to be possible
[06:46] <pike__> KokoBoko: yes that will already be installed
[06:46] <KokoBoko> yes
[06:47] <empire360> when i type in gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces it is no longer bringing up the configuration file. anyone got a suggestion?
[06:47] <B-rabbit> one quickii dumb question to ask guy's: can you have a laptop plugged in to your home desktop pc to create a network?

[06:47] <tgelter> hey all - what's the easiest way to capture video under *nix ? (Solaris specifically but I know I've seen video captured under linux)
[06:47] <xtknight> cabrioleur, seems the correct command is cat file  | egrep "^AID" | wc -l   thanks though
[06:47] <Jack_Sparrow> KokoBoko: Could also be version number not correct
[06:47] <Aeudian> teiwaz_idle: so with cifs i am able to take the smb share and mount it as a drive letter and remove ti later on, cause it will only be used under VPN client
[06:47] <murlinn__> the easiest way is probably a camcorder...

[06:49] <cabrioleur> KokoBoko, what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[06:50] <KokoBoko> 6.10
[06:50] <noble> Why do IDE drives show up as /dev/sda  in Fiesty and not /dev/hda  ???
[06:50] <cabrioleur> Probably you downloaded version for 7.04
[06:50] <B-rabbit> Flameangel:but i have only one ethernat  socket in the back of my cpu which i use for my internet connection
[06:50] <teiwaz_idle> you can set who can mount it or not...
[06:50] <KokoBoko> ermm
[06:50] <KokoBoko> how to download for 6.10
[06:50] <DShepherd> noble, i think its a know bug in feisty
[06:50] <Jack_Sparrow> KokoBoko: It looks like 1.0.12 is needed and only 1.0.11 is available in the repo
[06:51] <noble> ah ok thanks DShepherd
[06:51] <DShepherd> noble, kool
[06:51] <xtknight> DShepherd,  noble, it's not a bug.  the kernel uses libata now which assigns SCSI devices to all disks attached
[06:51] <KokoBoko> so?
[06:51] <genii> teiwaz_idle: BTW you may want to look into FreeNX, it works over ssh
[06:51] <KokoBoko> explain me pls
[06:51] <DShepherd> xtknight, my bad

[06:51] <Flameangel> B-rabbit: Ah i see, well the only way i can think of is to get a wired router and use that, but there could be another way...
[06:51] <teiwaz_idle> I'll check into it again, but I'm pretty sure I tried it.
[06:51] <cabrioleur> KokoBoko, skype for 7.04 needs new libraries, so you have to download older one or upgrade your libraries
[06:51] <xtknight> noble, nowadays UUIDs are used in fstab to refer to a device though.  you can type "blkid" to get uuids
[06:51] <teiwaz_idle> yeah, certainly wouldn't hurt to try again, thanks much! :-D

[06:56] <Tornado> can anyone help
[06:56] <imacmatt09> bye
[06:56] <tcstech> with .iso it will auto loop\
[06:56] <xtknight> |^marky^|, it only works with ISOs though.  you can't do .bins, .cues, .imgs, .nrgs, or .mdf/.mds, or .ccd
[06:56] <Funcan> Hi. I'm possibly being dense, but Feisty is the latest stable, but what are unstable & testing ATM?
[06:56] <DShepherd> Tornado, i think you can reconfigure the xserver. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. hopefully with gusty this will be better
[06:56] <xtknight> |^marky^|, to do the other formats you'll have to find some other software.
[06:56] <ConstyXIV> Funcan: testing is gutsy

[07:01] <xtknight> |^marky^|, okay when you have spaces in the filename you must enclose it in double quotes
[07:02] <ConstyXIV> |^marky^|: yup, you need quotes on the path
[07:02] <daedra> series - are you familiar with using command line?
[07:02] <xtknight> |^marky^|, besides, you can't mount an NRG
[07:02] <phiras> cabrioleur :I don't know , But when I'm trying to install mysql-server , I get this error : E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

[07:02] <xtknight> |^marky^|, you may need nrg->iso converter or other software.  google nrg linux :)  or maybe nerolinux can do it
[07:02] <|^marky^|> do you know some software i could use
[07:02] <genii> xtknight: I was just gonna comment on the nrg thing there
[07:02] <ConstyXIV> |^marky^|: you want something called nrg2iso
[07:02] <armyriad> I think it was the latest version of Partition Magic.

[07:03] <daedra> bingo
[07:03] <Jack_Sparrow> DShepherd: You might go to the mfg of the laptop and see if they have more info on that camera
[07:03] <ConstyXIV> there we go
[07:03] <xtknight> |^marky^|, besides this, there are some other issues with your command.  you don't have a space between the image filename and /media/iso.  also /media/ISO <-- the ISO needs to be capitalized like at the beginning of the command.  and this is if you're using an iso
[07:03] <phiras> What's the wrong guys !!
[07:03] <cabrioleur> phiras, you need additional packages. It names them in previous lines.
[07:03] <DShepherd> Jack_Sparrow, ok thanks
[07:04] <xtknight> |^marky^|, even if those things were fixed you could still not use an NRG with mount (but i think you understand that, just making sure0
[07:04] <daedra> xtknight: capitalised?!? not if the iso is actually lowercase
[07:04] <phiras> cabrioleur : but it should be installed with the current software
[07:04] <xtknight> daedra, no the /media/ISO mount point
[07:04] <|^marky^|> is there a site where i could download it
[07:04] <ConstyXIV> does anyone know if the camera on the dell XPS m1210 works in ubuntu?
[07:04] <xtknight> daedra, he didnt use the same dir as he made
[07:04] <|^marky^|> yeah i understand
[07:04] <daedra> xtknight: ah
[07:04] <Jack_Sparrow> armyriad:  We can get you back into windows without much problem, then you can try and fix partitions with the same program that you were using.
[07:04] <|^marky^|> it is just complicated if you are used to windows
[07:05] <Dr_Link> yeeeah!
[07:05] <xtknight> |^marky^|, at first.  then, it's just convenient :)

[07:06] <janeppo_> Dr_Link, congratulations!
[07:06] <Dr_Link> Haha!
[07:06] <Dr_Link> Now, I am curious how to get my Intel PRO set Wirless card to work with Ubuntu.
[07:06] <ConstyXIV> my old laptop had the most painless dualboot set up ever
[07:06] <drj826> On an Ubuntu Server 6.10 system I have 2 external USB drives connected.  They do not appear under /media.  How do I mount them?

[07:06] <ys76> get yourself?
[07:06] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[07:06] <Dr_Link> So I can install XChat and get help directly insid eUbuntu.
[07:07] <genii> Dr_Link: I am picturing you rubbing your hands together in evil glee over there :)
[07:07] <Dr_Link> genii: \o/
[07:07] <ConstyXIV> it was already partitioned in two, i just installed ubuntu in the second partition and it worked like magic
[07:07] <junmin> hi guys, i got a problem of the sound now, i removed apt-get remove --purge alsa-base and then installed a alsa CVS version, and now trying to go back with the alsa-base deb, apt-get install alsa-base, but no sound, if i lsmod, i cannot see any snd*. somebody can help me please??
[07:08] <xtknight> junmin, i hate to mention it, but try rebooting?
[07:08] <xtknight> junmin, modules are loaded at startup time.  so that is the easiest way to do things
[07:08] <junmin> xtknight, tried already
[07:08] <xtknight> junmin, okay then reinstall your kernel image.  sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-`uname -r`
[07:08] <neuratix> how can i change the autocorrection-language in gnome?

[07:09] <act1v8> Hello!
[07:09] <B-rabbit> hi
[07:09] <Xecuter88> cabrioleur, nope not working
[07:09] <daedra> linux!=windows
[07:09] <junmin> xtknight,  oh .. installing now
[07:09] <act1v8> I'm having some problems starting Ubuntu 7.04 as a LiveCD on a laptop.
[07:09] <janeppo_> windows := linux
[07:09] <act1v8> The screen is black after the bootsplash
[07:10] <act1v8> if I boot into safe graphics mode everything is ok
[07:10] <junmin> xtknight, i go to restart now..thx
[07:10] <act1v8> help
[07:10] <neuratix> drj826: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mount/point -t auto
[07:10] <rafaelscj> act1v8, how much RAM do you have?
[07:10] <neuratix> ?
[07:10] <janeppo_> Actlv8, remove splash from the grub bootline
[07:10] <act1v8> rafaelscj: 512MB
[07:11] <act1v8> janeppo_: I can't. it's a live cd
[07:11] <rafaelscj> act1v8, you can
[07:11] <drj826> neuratix: sda1, sda2, and sda3 are firewire devices.  How do I find the USB devices?
[07:11] <iShock> Hey: I wanna use some sort of VM to run windows Vista from inside linux..Can someone tell me how/
[07:11] <act1v8> rafaelscj: how
[07:11] <xtknight> !vmware | iShock
[07:11] <ubotu> iShock: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[07:11] <neuratix> drj826: sda4 perhaps :)
[07:12] <neuratix> no
[07:12] <iShock> xtknight: Which link?
[07:12] <iShock> Second?
[07:12] <neuratix> drj826: sdb and sdc etc
[07:12] <Wayah> I am rebooting... brb
[07:12] <xtknight> iShock, depends on what you want?  instructions?
[07:12] <rafaelscj> act1v8, I never did it, but you can find
[07:12] <iShock> Yes
[07:12] <xtknight> iShock, then yes..
[07:12] <janeppo_> actlv8, I had the same problem: black screen after two lines of startup messages, safe mode DOES boot.
[07:12] <rafaelscj> act1v8, there is a help option before start or install Ubuntu
[07:12] <act1v8> janeppo_: safe mode does boot... yes
[07:13] <xtknight> iShock, vmware server is used to manage and install VMs, and with vmware player you start those VMs
[07:13] <tcstech> ooh.. vm vista?  with their 3d desktop you will prolly have crap performance..
[07:13] <janeppo_> actlv8, for the live cd I had to type F4 and choose some explicit resloution, otherwise the screen would blacken.
[07:13] <drj826> neuratix: sorry, sda1, sdb1, and sdc1 are firewire devices.  There is no sdd1.  /dev/disk/by-path shows the 2 USB drives, but I don't know what device files to mount.
[07:13] <act1v8> rafaelscj, janeppo_: I think that XOrg can't recognize the resolution
[07:14] <act1v8> it can...
[07:14] <act1v8> uh...
[07:14] <tcstech> You should not have both vmware-server and vmware-player installed at the same time....afik it will not let you.
[07:14] <janeppo_> actlv8, what happens if you boot the cdrom, then type F4 before continuing?
[07:14] <empire360> hello, im running feisty and i recently configured my wireless adapter with the serialmonkey guide, and i must auto configure everytime i connect upon reboot. also, i am having problems getting the gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces to open, it appears to be freezing...
[07:15] <act1v8> janeppo_: I am booting the cdrom
[07:15] <janeppo_> actlv8, ...
[07:15] <IceLink> he
[07:15] <IceLink> y
[07:15] <IceLink> i've got a strange problem with ndiswrapper
[07:16] <rapid> Hmm, I'm got a stupid problem.. I edit'd passwd and changed the user name of my current user to something else.. as i was going to move the home user dir after that.. now i can't sudo returning sudo: pam_authenticate: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.
[07:16] <act1v8> janeppo_: and it's act(one)v8
[07:16] <iShock> So...Anyone got time to help super much with VMware? I so dont get the instructions..
[07:16] <neuratix> drj826: i don't know how to find the devices on the server version, sorry
[07:16] <janeppo_> actlv8: ???? (-<
[07:16] <junmin> xtknight, working already ...thx
[07:16] <lillo> hi, I've a problem with php5-interbase package in ubuntu feisty
[07:17] <drj826> neuratix: no problem, I think I'm on the right path
[07:17] <Funcan> rapid: At a guess, use id to get your current uid, su to the uid, then try sudo?
[07:17] <bulmer> rapid maybe if you boot from liveCd and mount the hd where /etc/passwd is, then recover
[07:17] <janeppo_> act1v8, oooooh, sorry
[07:17] <iShock> So...Anyone got time to help super much with VMware? I so dont get the instructions..
[07:17] <empire360> i am having problems getting the gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces to open, it appears to be freezing...
[07:17] <act1v8> janeppo_: well the VGA menu pops up
[07:18] <schigh> How can I restart ALSA without restarting my whole computer?
[07:18] <kevor_> Uhm, what happened if my whole /etc/init.d dir is gone, iv'e not deleted it, nor has anyone with the rights to do so entered the box...
[07:18] <bulmer> empire360: freezing? kill the process and maybe use vim to edit that subject file
[07:18] <act1v8> janeppo_: 1280x800 isn't there
[07:18] <janeppo_> act1v8, make a choice, I did 1680x1050
[07:18] <bulmer> kevor_: feisty?
[07:18] <rapid> funcan: by su to the id, you mean, "su 1000?
[07:18] <kevor_> bulmer: yes
[07:19] <act1v8> janeppo_: there is nothing like it!
[07:19] <lillo> hi, I've a problem with php5-interbase package in ubuntu feisty
[07:19] <janeppo_> act1v8, some choice, I don't think it matters much, but I'm not sure
[07:19] <bulmer> kevor_:  i believe it uses something different..
[07:19] <rafaelscj> act1v8, did you use widescreen?
[07:19] <act1v8> widescreen?
[07:19] <bulmer> kevor_: i cant think of the name off hand

[07:20] <act1v8> janeppo_, rafaelscj: um... dunno.. that's what I saw somewhere on Windows XP on the same machine
[07:20] <Le_F0u> when ive plugged it again
[07:20] <janeppo_> act1v8, so it detected my widescreen. it should detect your your screen's options
[07:20] <kevor_> hmz, i've a problem with booting, getting an error: INIT /etc/init.d/rcS not found?
[07:20] <Le_F0u> its not working

[07:24] <Le_F0u> rapid ive tried modyfing etc/network/interfaces
[07:24] <act1v8> let me see if something else happens with Fedora 7
[07:24] <Anlar> alex_: right click, burn image to disc?
[07:24] <Le_F0u> like ive read on the help site
[07:24] <Le_F0u> cant get it working :/
[07:24] <james296> itis causing my entire screen to go black except the top left portion...
[07:24] <werpo> which card is it nullset?
[07:24] <rafaelscj> act1v8, did you try Ubuntu 6.06 live cd?
[07:24] <alex_> Anlar, tried that but makes it bootable so i loose the iso
[07:24] <james296> when I enable compiz fusion
[07:24] <Le_F0u> the led on the ethernet card is on
[07:24] <ollyF1> can anyone point to a definately workin guide to run feisty with full 3d acc on geforce 8800 ?
[07:24] <nullset> Werpo : its my intel 845 in built 32MB card
[07:24] <janeppo_> act1v8, so I guess I was just dumb lucky when I tried the highest resolution.
[07:24] <rapid> le_f0u: that means the actual cabled link is fine, its a setting.
[07:24] <Anlar> alex_: yes, it writes the image 1:1, which you can again dd etc from the disc if you want
[07:25] <act1v8> rafaelscj: I've got it... I'll try it after fedora 7
[07:25] <Le_F0u> yea the cable link is fine
[07:25] <rapid> le_f0u: what are you using on that network?
[07:25] <act1v8> janeppo_: yeah... :)
[07:25] <janeppo_> act1v8, last resort: try every single possibility.
[07:25] <werpo> weird, try doing a xorgconf again
[07:25] <lillo> what's the message of the command sudo ifconfig ?
[07:25] <Le_F0u> just setup a LAMP server about 3hours ago rapid
[07:25] <lillo> is there eth0 ?
[07:25] <alex_> Anlar, yes i know but thought that saved me some time next time ... so i dont have to burn it back to iso but i will do like u said
[07:25] <janeppo_> act1v8, I listened to the sound of my drives when booting with a black screen.
[07:25] <Le_F0u> it was working correctly..till i removed the cable
[07:25] <pike__> ollyF1: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new; sudo nvidia-xconfig; sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart    <- id think
[07:26] <rapid> le_f0u: looks like you shouldn't have removed that cable hey.
[07:26] <Le_F0u> lillo ive type /sbin/ifconfig
[07:26] <act1v8> janeppo_: I can hear it to... but the screen is off :)
[07:26] <alex_> Anlar, done thx bye
[07:26] <nullset> werpo : didn't get it ??
[07:26] <Le_F0u> there's only the loopback interface
[07:26] <Le_F0u> not the eth0 :/
[07:26] <janeppo_> act1v8, mostly it sounded quite normal, so I guess it's only the video not working.
[07:26] <Ditiris> Anyone have any idea why I wouldn't be able to execute a setup file on a CDROM?
[07:26] <Le_F0u> loll yea rapid
[07:26] <rapid> le_f0u: did you try ifup ?
[07:26] <kevor_> Uhm... i've no directories left in /etc/ ... how in the world did this happen/
[07:26] <act1v8> janeppo_: yeah
[07:26] <Le_F0u> no.whats the command?
[07:26] <lillo> ok you have to load the module for your ethernrt card
[07:27] <mikebot> How can I make a link to Trash on my Desktop?
[07:27] <thiebaude> i have a problem with fash in firefox
[07:27] <cyberphaz> any easy way to show dependencies that have no more uses? like where i removed the original package it had to install the dep for?
[07:27] <Le_F0u> can you tell me What?? to do lillo?
[07:27] <rapid> mikebot: err, right click on it, add to desktop?
[07:27] <lillo> use lspci command to view the type of your eth card
[07:27] <janeppo_> act1v8, same problem then, and my solution doesn't work for you, >:---<<
[07:27] <rapid> why has the module just become unloaded?
[07:28] <mikebot> rapid: Can't find that option.
[07:28] <pike__> mikebot: the generic linux way would be ln -s /home/$USER/.Trash /home/$USER/Desktop/Trash  but id use gnome or nautilus instead
[07:28] <cberlo> Hey folks.  Back again.  Having some kind of issue with "getent" -- I've followed the directions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto and can authenticate users from active directory; wbinfo -u provides a full list.  "getent passwd" only shows local users.  Any idea why this is happening?
[07:28] <CrazyTB> I'm on a new ubuntu installation and I have no flashplayer. Any suggestion?
[07:28] <CrazyTB> actually, I've been without flashplayer for about 2 weeks (when ubuntu has been installed here)
[07:28] <thiebaude> automatix
[07:28] <rapid> mikebot: pike's method will work :-)
[07:28] <Le_F0u> and then lillo?
[07:28] <ollyF1> pike: already did that, but xserver wouldn't start then. seems that the nvidia-glx-new still doesn't correctly support 8800 cards. i managed to use the driver by manually copying libwfb.so from the original nvidia driver to the correct location
[07:28] <Almindor> heya
[07:28] <mikebot> pike_: I use gnome, that will work?
[07:28] <Dr_Link> Guess what OS I'm on?
[07:28] <Almindor> is it possible to lock cd to be readible only by user who put it in
[07:29] <Almindor> ?
[07:29] <pike__> mikebot: itll work as a link yeah
[07:29] <SuziQ> is there a command I can use to see if my Mass storage device (not USB) is recognized?
[07:29] <Almindor> I noticed ubuntu locks mounts by default to users, but not reading
[07:29] <ollyF1> it's running now but i have the feeling that graphics are somewhat slow and choppy
[07:29] <rapid> le_f0u: i'd lsmod and see if its already loaded.
[07:29] <mikebot> pike_: Thanks.
[07:29] <lillo> wht's is the type?
[07:29] <Le_F0u> ok im going to do it n come back.
[07:30] <rapid> ouch
[07:30] <act1v8> the same happens with fedora 7, janeppo_
[07:30] <act1v8> :(
[07:30] <thiebaude> i have a problem with flash
[07:30] <Le_F0u> im not in front of the pc lillo.brb
[07:30] <mikebot> Can you make folder invisible in ubuntu? ANd password protected?
[07:30] <Ditiris> Could someone help me with installing a program from a CDROM?
[07:30] <thiebaude> #join
[07:30] <Ditiris> I get an error message when I try to run the script, even though I'm using the sudo command
[07:30] <Anlar> SuziQ: driver level "lshw", is it mounted "mount" at least
[07:31] <rapid> ditiris: "the script"?
[07:31] <Anlar> SuziQ: also,you shouldn't see any errors when you plug it in and do "dmesg"
[07:31] <rafaelscj> Ditiris, what's the CDROM?
[07:31] <Ditiris> rafaelscj: It's the Xilinx ISE FPGA Development CDROM
[07:32] <Ditiris> rapid: It's a setup script.  So I just do sudo ./setup from the CL, and I get sudo: unable to execute ./setup: Permission denied
[07:32] <SuziQ> Anlar:  thank you
[07:32] <xtknight> Ditiris, try sudo sh ./setup
[07:32] <iShock> Excuse me: How can I resize my current partition without using a GParted Live CD?
[07:32] <xtknight> !gparted | iShock
[07:32] <ubotu> iShock: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[07:32] <xtknight> use built-in ubuntu gparted
[07:32] <iShock> Oh
[07:32] <iShock> kk
[07:32] <iShock> All u had to say
[07:33] <Ditiris> xtknight: sudo: unable to execute ./setup: Permission denied
[07:33] <Stormx2> Ditiris: Is it executable?
[07:33] <Stormx2> Ditiris: Try chmod +x setup
[07:33] <Ditiris> File permissions are -rwxr-xr-x 1 20230 902    599 2006-12-01 18:09 setup
[07:33] <Stormx2> Hmm.
[07:33] <cyberphaz> anway to find dependencies you no longer need by packages installed?
[07:33] <Ditiris> is there some easy way to copy the whole cd to a temporary directory?
[07:34] <Stormx2> Ditiris: cp -av ?
[07:35] <act1v8> can someone help please
[07:35] <Stormx2> act1v8: With?
[07:35] <act1v8> with my screen problem
[07:35] <Anlar> SuziQ: if you see no errors/UNCLAIMED and stuff like that and it doesn't get automatically mounted for you, do "lsusb" and report a bug at launchpad.net so that they will add the usb ids to updates..
[07:35] <rafaelscj> act1v8, Did the Ubuntu 6.06 work?
[07:35] <Ditiris> Stormx2: Will cp -av * ~/temp work?
[07:35] <act1v8> rafaelscj: I'll try now
[07:35] <genii> Ditris: Actually in that scenario I normally make an ISO like dd if=/dev/hdX of=/somewheretemp/isoname.iso    then loopmount the iso
[07:35] <Stormx2> Ditiris: Yeah.
[07:36] <xtknight> Ditiris, sudo mkdir -p /tmp/cd && sudo cp -av /media/cd /tmp/cd
[07:36] <mikebot> Can you make folder invisible in ubuntu? ANd password protected?
[07:36] <SuziQ> Anlar: Thanks, but a newB here...what you just said went "swisssshh" right over my head
[07:36] <genii> where hdX is devname of cd drive
[07:36] <iShock> xtknight: I did sudo gparted...It will not allow me to do anything.
[07:36] <Anlar> SuziQ: :D
[07:36] <ollyF1> have a nice evening everyone
[07:36] <Stormx2> mikebot: Invisible? Put a dot at the start of its name.
[07:36] <xtknight> iShock, which drive are you resizing?
[07:36] <mikebot> Stormx2: Thanks
[07:36] <act1v8> rafaelscj: what good will 6.06 do?
[07:36] <Stormx2> mikebot: password protected? Not sure. Ask in ##linux maybe?
[07:36] <iShock> xtknight: /dev/sda1 (My linux partition)
[07:36] <xtknight> iShock, you can not resize a mounted partition so you will have to do it outside of your ubuntu.  easiest way is the GParted Livecd
[07:37] <iShock> . . .
[07:37] <iShock> You can do it on Vista :(
[07:37] <mikebot> Stormx2: OK, thanks
[07:37] <xtknight> iShock,  you can?
[07:37] <pike__> mikebot: if you want no one else to access it just chmod 700 foldername then only root and you can look at it
[07:37] <xtknight> iShock,  i doubt it
[07:37] <rafaelscj> act1v8, maybe it work
[07:37] <iShock> xtknight: You can
[07:37] <Stormx2> iShock: No, you can't.
[07:38] <iShock> Stormx2: Yes, you can.
[07:38] <Stormx2> iShock: No, you can't.
[07:38] <xtknight> actually you can.
[07:38] <iShock> I HAVE DONE IT. There is an option in drive management... Open Help & Support and search for resize volume
[07:38] <xtknight> in vista but not in xp
[07:38] <xtknight> seems dangerous anyway
[07:38] <Stormx2> Uhg?
[07:38] <Stormx2> Yeah
[07:38] <mikebot> pike_: How do I? do that
[07:38] <xtknight> i dont even know how it's possible
[07:38] <Stormx2> Seems like a hugely stupid thing to do - to resize a partition while it's in use.
[07:38] <xtknight> iShock, it doens't actually resize it during the OS, does it?  does it schedule a command to be executed and the next startup?
[07:39] <iShock> No xtknight, it does it right then
[07:39] <xtknight> at*
[07:39] <iShock> I have no ideah ow, but it did
[07:39] <xtknight> oh wow yes that is a bad idea.
[07:39] <Stormx2> xD
[07:39] <iShock> Microsoft did it
[07:39] <Stormx2> Yeah?
[07:39] <xtknight> microsoft does a lot of things :P

[07:40] <iShock> How can I shutdown in a terminal?
[07:40] <Stormx2> nullset: A common cause is that you've been using sudo where you should have been using gksudo.
[07:40] <act1v8> rafaelscj: ATI Mobility Radeon x700

[07:46] <marti149> mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda
[07:46] <rapid> Le_F0u: you should type ifconfig and read that for a display of your interfaces..
[07:46] <genii> Le_F0u: Put more like:     lsmod|more

[07:47] <Jack_Sparrow> act1v8: is that a dual boot setup?
[07:47] <HHP2K> Hey guys, I'd like to know if there's an application that allows you to type directly onto the desktop, instead of using a text editor and saving a document? Just simply.. text that sits there, such as a reminder note or something?
[07:47] <curare> nullset: type:   ps -ax  | grep mplayer

[07:47] <Le_F0u> ok genii
[07:47] <curare> then type kill <mplayer PID>
[07:47] <act1v8> Jack_Sparrow: no... if I delete windows I can't get it back, and + the laptop will become useless
[07:47] <Anlar> HHP2K: tomboy, already intalled on every ubuntu desktop if you use for instance feisty

[07:47] <chalcedony> HHP2K: i have something called "sticky notes" that lets you make little reminders that sit there
[07:48] <Jack_Sparrow> act1v8: Why not just shrink up a couple gig and try dual boot.
[07:48] <rapid> Le_F0u: shrug, find the module for your card, rmmod it then modprobe it.. see how you go with that

[07:48] <HHP2K> chalcedony: I'd like it if there wasn't any visual overlay that the text sits on, just text.

[07:49] <chalcedony> i need to shutdown and reboot, if pressing the quit does not start the shutdown procedure, what do i need to do?
[07:49] <Jack_Sparrow> act1v8: You should always have a backup, but few people do... how much free space is on the windows partition?
[07:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !mount
[07:49] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter

[07:49] <act1v8> Jack_Sparrow: I think it's 19.5 GB
[07:49] <chalcedony> Jack_Sparrow: hmm never seen anyone do that.
[07:49] <Stormx2> chalcedony: Do it from command like. open a terminal and "sudo reboot"
[07:49] <Jack_Sparrow> chalcedony: seen anyone do what?
[07:49] <erUSUL> chalcedony: 'sudo shutdown -r now' or press the power button
[07:49] <Jokk> !fstab
[07:49] <ubotu> 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

[07:52] <kevor_> all my direcotires are gone from /etc/ after doing an fsck, has anyone a clue what could have happened?
[07:52] <kevor_> and how to reverse it
[07:52] <Jack_Sparrow> act1v8: I understand the dilema, but working on partitions without a backup always has at least a slight risk.
[07:52] <chalcedony> atm i'm not liking it not being able to open a terminal window, which i would have done to make notes of what i was just told, for next time.
[07:52] <Barr1> How do i get the small network manager status icons to show on my menu bar?
[07:53] <HHP2K> So nobody has any other ideas for a text on desktop application? Tomboy notes isn't what I'm looking for, I want something that simply allows me to type right onto the desktop.
[07:53] <act1v8> Jack_Sparrow: that's not the main problem... even if I do that there is a 65-70% possibility Ubuntu or any linux distro not working
[07:53] <erUSUL> kevor_: fsck puts recovered files in /lost+found/ but if it have cleaned up (due to a disk error) all your /etc dir you'd better do a backup of your home and a fresh install

[07:55] <iShock> Jack_Sparrow: Iunno. How can I do that?
[07:55] <Jack_Sparrow> act1v8: make and model?

[08:11] <hollandlucas> have you tried a different desktop environment like KDE?
[08:11] <Sonarx> I know it's not hardware as I've tried more than one graphics card I know to be good.
[08:11] <Solid> hi, does anyone know how to make a snapshot of a window every 0.1sec, and save each one in a specific folder, like 1.bmp, 2.bmp....x.bmp.
[08:11] <Sonarx> I haven't, however it was working 100% then, poof
[08:12] <hollandlucas> I'd try something like KDE
[08:12] <act1v8> why does safe graphics mode work but the normal thing doesnt?
[08:12] <fabio__|> very difficult question, how can i get the I/O ports of the cdrom unit? thanks
[08:12] <Sonarx> I'm sorry I have to go work calls. I will try back later.
[08:12] <hollandlucas> just to make sure that your GNOME isn't f****d up
[08:12] <rafaelscj> Sonarx, Start on sefe mode and look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:13] <rafaelscj> act1v8, Start on sefe mode and look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:13] <eallik> can anyone recommend me a virtual machine (such as VMWare, but free/open source) to run under Feisty?
[08:13] <rafaelscj> sory
[08:13] <hollandlucas> what's weird about his problem is that only images are affected, not his normal desktop etc
[08:13] <jrib> Solid: why not just record a movie at 10fps?
[08:13] <jrib> eallik: virtualbox
[08:13] <Solid> i want separate images jrib, this is for ripping sprites from several games
[08:13] <jrib> !virtualbox > eallik (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:13] <hollandlucas> eallik, yes. VirtualBox
[08:13] <Solid> eallik, vitualbox is great
[08:13] <eallik> what about qemu?
[08:14] <Jokk> how to install Automatix
[08:14] <Jokk> ?
[08:14] <PriceChild> !automatix | Jokk
[08:14] <ubotu> Jokk: Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[08:14] <ianmcorvidae> !virtualizers | eallik
[08:14] <ubotu> eallik: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu or !qvm86), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications
[08:14] <hollandlucas> Jokk, see: getautomatix.com
[08:14] <PriceChild> Jokk, what do you really want to do?
[08:14] <Jokk> to play avi files
[08:14] <PriceChild> !mp3 | Jokk
[08:14] <ubotu> Jokk: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[08:14] <PriceChild> Jokk, read that guide.
[08:14] <hollandlucas> if you're using Feisty it should automatically install the required codec
[08:14] <Jokk> can deal with it
[08:14] <eallik> which one is the fastest for running XP?
[08:14] <jrib> Solid: you could write some script that pauses .1 seconds and takes screen shots but I'm pretty sure your computer will become unusable (really jerky)
[08:14] <PriceChild> Jokk, if you're running feisty, just open the video and it will install the codecs for you
[08:14] <Solid> jokk, just install the w32codecs package, no?
[08:14] <hollandlucas> once you try and play an AVI file (btw: AVI is a container not a codeC)
[08:15] <Jokk> im with feisty
[08:15] <PriceChild> Jokk, just double click the video
[08:15] <Jokk> but it doesnt install the codec
[08:15] <hollandlucas> anyway, gotta go now
[08:15] <hollandlucas> cya
[08:15] <Jokk> pricechild
[08:15] <Jokk> it doesnt work
[08:15] <Jokk> ive tried
[08:15] <PriceChild> !doesn't work | Jokk
[08:15] <ubotu> Jokk: 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.
[08:16] <Solid> jrib, sorry bad english. when i was on Win, i had a program named animget who could make those screens pretty quickly.
[08:16] <Jokk> off
[08:16] <Layer8> hi all!
[08:16] <Jokk> when i double click on the file
[08:16] <Solid> for the scripts, i really don't know, i'm a real real newbie here...
[08:16] <Layer8>  i have a workgrop entry in my smb.conf but cant find this workgroup in my network!?
[08:16] <Jokk> totem player opens but it writes that it cant play the file
[08:16] <PriceChild> Jokk, it will ask you whether you want to install codecs for it
[08:17] <Jokk> nope
[08:17] <Jokk> it doesnt
[08:17] <Anlar> if he has done that already, and it is some crappy intel indeo, ...
[08:17] <eallik> VMWare-player is freeware?
[08:17] <jrib> Solid: I still think a video is a better way to go and then you can pull out the frames.  You can use 'import' to take screenshots if you prefer (it's part of imagemagick)
[08:17] <PriceChild> Jokk, are you on x86, 64bit or ppc?
[08:17] <Solid> jokk, there is VLC media player too with
[08:17] <PriceChild> Solid, lets fix the problem rather than workaround it :)
[08:17] <Jokk> pricechild x86
[08:18] <Jokk> solid where
[08:18] <jimmygoon> How do I get firefox to use tap0 instead of eth0
[08:18] <Solid> jokk, in the universe packages...
[08:18] <act1v8> ok.. last time... can anyone help!?
[08:18] <Jokk> whatever..
[08:18] <eallik> and what about kvm?
[08:18] <PriceChild> Jokk, Jokk I don't really believe you... except for various real media, ubuntu should install anything...
[08:18] <act1v8> I think that the resolution should be 1280x800
[08:18] <Solid> jrib, but how to capture only one window?
[08:19] <Pthag> Hello. A while back, amarok stopped popping an icon onto the system tray in Gnome. Anybody have any idea what could have broken there?
[08:19] <Jokk> pricechild if u want..
[08:19] <Pthag> It's only for this account, any other accounts I set up it works fine
[08:19] <fabio__|> maybe is there a way to know the i/o ports associated with /dev/hdb ? thanks
[08:19] <CydeWeys> Is this a DNS issue or what?  When I type one hostname into my browser, it automatically resolves to hostname.domain.com.  But when I type the hostname of my new server into the browser, no such resolution occurs.  We're on a 10.* intranet.
[08:19] <rafaelscj> act1v8, did you look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[08:19] <CydeWeys> Does this need to be configured from the DNS server, or is there some option I can change under Ubuntu?
[08:19] <act1v8> rafaelscj: yes
[08:20] <rafaelscj> act1v8, what resolutios are listed there?
[08:20] <act1v8> rafaelscj: and there are only three resolutions 1024x784 (or something sim.)
[08:20] <Dr_Link> I think I'll boot back into Windows now.
[08:20] <Skiessi> how often the repositories are updated?
[08:20] <vnese> !revolution
[08:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about revolution - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:20] <Anlar> CydeWeys: yeah, you should add it to dns manually OR enable dynamic dns updates feature on the dns server and your server
[08:20] <jrib> Solid: don't know offhand, try the documentation linked to in 'man import' or 'import -help'
[08:20] <rlount> CydeWeys, /etc/hosts until you have proper DNs set up.
[08:20] <vnese> !resolution
[08:20] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:21] <rlount> add your server there.

[08:21] <CydeWeys> rlount: /etc/hosts doesn't work for other people's computers though
[08:21] <cheeez11> hello
[08:21] <cheeez11> i need assistants with connecting my wifi
[08:21] <CydeWeys> Anlar: I thin kwe have dynamic DNS updates here, so how do I configure Ubuntu to work with that?
[08:21] <rlount> nope. you will need DNS for that.
[08:21] <cheeez11> i can't seem to figure out the ndiswrapper
[08:21] <rafaelscj> act1v8, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:21] <cheeez11> i'm kinda new at this

[08:22] <Layer8> how can I clean the smb cache on my gnome desktop?
[08:22] <jimmygoon> Can someone tell me how to use tap0 instead of eth0 with openvpn?
[08:22] <Anlar> CydeWeys: either by tuning the dhcp client, or manually afaik
[08:22] <eallik> why virtualbox provides both a closed and an open source version and why is the former non-free??
[08:22] <facugaich> how can I extract some frames from a vid to make a .gif?
[08:22] <CydeWeys> Anlar: I have static addressing set up right now though?
[08:23] <vnese> hello, how can i increase my screen resolution, although it s at its max resolution
[08:23] <rafaelscj> act1v8, Can you restart X sever when runing on live cd?
[08:23] <rapid> try ctrl+alt+backspace..
[08:23] <rlount> CydeWeys, you will need access to whatever is serving dhcp/dns and make changes there for your server to be included.
[08:23] <CydeWeys> Which file under /etc do I put the FQDN under?
[08:23] <Anlar> CydeWeys: yeah in that case you have to manage the dns server's record with some tool or manually
[08:23] <armyriad> How do I fix GRUB error 17?
[08:23] <rlount> /etc/hostname /etc/hosts
[08:24] <sp1nter>  is there a program that will actually organize podcasts
[08:24] <act1v8> rafaelscj: no... Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't work
[08:24] <kub> how do I change the bash shell columns and lines to be different than the default 80x25
[08:24] <rapid> youtube
[08:24] <jrib> eallik: try #vbox
[08:24] <eallik> jrib: thanks
[08:24] <gordonjcp> sp1nter: rhythmbox?
[08:24] <rafaelscj> act1v8, it can be wrong vertical refresh rate
[08:25] <rafaelscj> act1v8, do you know the vertical refresh rate ?
[08:25] <jrib> kub: I think you can just pass --geometry to 'gnome-terminal' when you start it
[08:25] <act1v8> rafaelscj: I think i can actually: sudo killall Xorg works
[08:25] <act1v8> it restarts X
[08:25] <Anlar> armyriad: "sudo grub", then "root (hd0,0)" where the first number is counting from zero your hard disc and the second number is counting from 0 the partition. this is to where your /boot/ is! for instance hda1==hd0,0. then "setup (hd0)" using the same drive number but no partition number. and "quit".
[08:25] <act1v8> rafaelscj: no
[08:25] <sp1nter> gordonjcp: it doesnt seperate the podcasts just leaves them all together
[08:25] <kub> i'm trying to due it in ubuntu server without any gui installed
[08:26] <rafaelscj> act1v8, At boot screen, can you set other vertical refresh rate?
[08:26] <act1v8> rafaelscj: where do you set that?
[08:26] <jogis> hello how to set up irc server on my ubuntu feisty? plz help
[08:26] <armyriad> I tried that but when I entered in "setup (hd0)" GRUB said it couldn't mount it.
[08:27] <rafaelscj> act1v8, there is somethink like "boot options"
[08:27] <MonsieurBL> hi all. I'm looking for help with ubuntuAMD64 on my Asus laptop, does anyone know where to get support?
[08:27] <act1v8> rafaelscj: ok... and what do I change there?
[08:27] <jogis> hello how to set up irc server on my ubuntu feisty? plz help
[08:28] <fevel> Can anyone help me clean the squid cache or restart it...I modified a page in the server but the changes do not appear
[08:28] <rafaelscj> act1v8, the vertical refresh rate should be 60Hz
[08:28] <jrib> MonsieurBL: support with?
[08:28] <_KP_> i have a usb disk drive that I have formatted as ext2. When I try to eject the disk, I get two messages. The first msg states that there is data left to write to the device. The second msg states that it can not eject the volume. I have searched the log files but nothing jumps out as an error. any suggestions?
[08:28] <rafaelscj> act1v8, is there any option like that?
[08:28] <redhat9> how can you save files or keep changes when using live cd?? thanks in advance for people who help me out. thank you
[08:28] <Desktom> hi all. I have 2 interfaces eth0 and eth1. They have an ip like 192.168.0.x. I want to force the use of eth1 for routing to the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet.. how do I do that ?
[08:28] <genii> _KP_ Put as mount option sync
[08:29] <_KP_> genii, i'll try that
[08:29] <MonsieurBL> jrib: my setup is getting better day by day, but I still can't get the integrated webcam nor wifi to work
[08:29] <genii> _KP_: Then it will always finish any pending writes immediately  when possible
[08:29] <kub> jrib, i am trying to adjust bash columns and width in Ubuntu Server without any gui installed
[08:30] <jrib> !webcam > MonsieurBL (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:30] <jrib> !wifi > MonsieurBL (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:30] <rafaelscj> act1v8, use hwinfo to discover you monitor's refresh rate on windows
[08:30] <redhat9> how can you save files or keep changes when using live cd?? thanks in advance for people who help me out. thank you
[08:30] <jrib> MonsieurBL: don't know much about either of those, but check out those docs
[08:30] <jrib> kub: oh I see, don't know how to do that
[08:30] <act1v8> rafaelscj: there is in safe mode an option for a refresh rate saying 61Hz
[08:30] <Desktom> hey all. I have 2 interfaces in the same subnet. How can I force my machine to use eth1 to communicate to the subnet instead of eth0?
[08:31] <rafaelscj> act1v8, is there only it?
[08:31] <act1v8> yes
[08:31] <rafaelscj> act1v8, hum...
[08:31] <_KP_> genii: that didn't work. mount options are (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync). any other ideas?
[08:31] <rafaelscj> act1v8>, you need the horizontal sync frequency (usually measured in kHz) and the vertical refresh rate (usually in Hz).
[08:32] <genii> Desktom: Reverse their entries in the files: /etc/network/interfaces  and /etc/iftab
[08:32] <Desktom> genii: thanks! will try that
[08:32] <rafaelscj> act1v8>, try to know it under windows
[08:32] <MonsieurBL> jrib: thanx for the links, any ideas why Camorama wouldn't see /dev/video ?
[08:32] <duaneb> is there a programming channel?
[08:32] <armyriad> I don't know how I did it but the GRUB error 17 problem was mysteriously fixed!
[08:33] <redhat9> how can you save files or keep changes when using live cd?? thanks in advance for people who help me out. thank you
[08:33] <genii> _KP_: not offhand. There may be some command to force sync now kina idea but i don't know offhand what it may be
[08:33] <_KP_> genii: what is weird is that i can manually umount the drive just fine.
[08:33] <jrib> duaneb: there's usually one for each programming language
[08:33] <jrib> MonsieurBL: maybe a permissions issue
[08:34] <soundray> _KP_: can you repeat what the problem is for me?
[08:34] <_KP_> i have a usb disk drive that I have formatted as ext2. When I try to eject the disk, I get two messages. The first msg states that there is data left to write to the device. The second msg states that it can not eject the volume. I have searched the log files but nothing jumps out as an error. any suggestions?
[08:34] <teratoma> which power daemon should i be using?
[08:34] <teratoma> im running 3 or 4
[08:34] <teratoma> or do they all do different things ?
[08:34] <Celtic> hi
[08:35] <_KP_> soundray: genii suggested I add sync to mount options. that had no effect.
[08:35] <Celtic> hello
[08:35] <rafaelscj> act1v8, at /etc/X11/xorg.conf there is a section called "monitor"
[08:35] <soundray> _KP_: hm, interesting one. Do you get the message about data left to write when you run 'sync ; sync' before the eject?
[08:36] <rafaelscj> act1v8, change it with correct values
[08:36] <act1v8> rafaelscj: wait... what command was I supposed to run in windows?
[08:36] <genii> _KP_ I just found an ancient keyboatd shorcut that may work for you.
[08:36] <genii> To "s"ync all filesystems, press "Alt+SysRq+s". You'll then see at the console:
[08:36] <genii> SysRq : Emergency Sync
[08:36] <genii> Emergency Sync complete
[08:36] <kub> anyone know how to change the bash shell columns and width in ubuntu server, no gui installed
[08:36] <rafaelscj> act1v8, Can you download Hwinfo?
[08:36] <act1v8> rafaelscj: no
[08:36] <_KP_> soundray: haven't tried manually syncing the disks. let me try that.
[08:36] <hendrixski> :-( sed is hard
[08:37] <soundray> _KP_: genii's suggestion does essentially the same as sync, although it can work in situations where no shell is accessible.

[08:38] <hendrixski> I'm trying to get sed to add text in the second to last line of a file
[08:38] <_KP_> soundray: doing a manual sync, and then an eject - I still get the messages.
[08:38] <w30> kub, In your grub's menu1st file put a "vga=<number>" line.  The number depends on what you want try vga=791
[08:39] <hendrixski> I know sed -n "$="  gives me the number of lines
[08:39] <act1v8> rafaelscj: I looked at it
[08:39] <soundray> kub: you have to add it in /boot/grub/menu.lst -- ideally to the line that begins with '#kopt='. Add 'vga=ask' to begin with, and enter 'scan' at the prompt you will see when you boot next.
[08:39] <rafaelscj> Monitor
[08:39] <hendrixski> I can't seem to figure out how to turn that into a line number to add in sed

[08:40] <darkfena313> hello how do i install an exe file?
[08:40] <_KP_> soundray: i tried ext3 first. when I got the problem, i thought that the journalling was the issue, so i reformatted as ext2.
[08:40] <jrib> series: use the restricted drivers manager, don't download from the website
[08:40] <w30> kub, if you put in vga=ask then the kernel will prompt you for a choice of listed mode numbers
[08:41] <genii> series: logout to login screen. then choose session type of terminal or console. then login that way. Run the program, when it's done type exit
[08:41] <jrib> darkfena313: .exe's are usually for windows.  To install things on ubuntu, you should be using the repositories.  What are you trying to install?
[08:41] <jrib> !installing > darkfena313 (see the private message from ubotu)
[08:41] <soundray> _KP_: ah, you can go from ext3 to ext2 and back without reformatting... but the issue is something else now, of course.

[08:42] <rafaelscj> act1v8, now you know only the vertical refresh rate...
[08:42] <_KP_> hendrixski: use sed to locate the last line in the file, when it finds it, add the line you want, then print the contents of the last line.
[08:42] <w30> series, then when you want X back type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[08:43] <soundray> _KP_: have you tried running 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' during mount and eject?
[08:43] <rafaelscj> act1v8, and you can't download Hwinfo...
[08:43] <act1v8> no
[08:43] <rafaelscj> act1v8, so...
[08:43] <hendrixski> _KP_,  $= locates the last line... then how do I get it to print the contents to the line above it?
[08:43] <defdef> Hello! I know that I am in the wrong place (possibly a hostile place?) But I am looking for either someone to give me an answer, or direct me to an IRC channel that will have the answer
[08:43] <hendrixski> _KP_, typing "$=" a\ the line I want to add...... didn't work :-(
[08:44] <soundray> hendrixski: with bash rather than sed, 'tac filename | head -n 2 | tail -n 1' :)
[08:44] <hendrixski> defdef, if it's a question about Ubuntu you have come to the right place
[08:44] <w30> defari, the answer is 43
[08:44] <rafaelscj> act1v8, now check at /etc/X11/xorg.conf : I thing that you should know the syn frequency
[08:44] <hendrixski> soundray, oh... I'll try that
[08:44] <w30> defdef, the answer is 43
[08:44] <defdef> I have 6 active directory users that have to log in to OWA, but we dont want them to log in to the domain locally. how can i accomplish that?

[08:46] <CoasterMaster> Hi. I'm having problems with my Dell Inspiron 6000 hanging when resuming from sleep.  I've searched Google and found a few topics on the subject, and the fix supplied (changing the line POST_VIDEO=true to POST_VIDEO=.  in /etc/default/acpi-support) didn't work.  Has anyone else had this problem (or knows another potential fix)?
[08:47] <_GoRDoN_> I have a problem with Kscd. Player works with analog input from cd but it also drops left channel. If I choose to use digital there is no sound. I think the problem is empty device field below the driver(alsa) field so what I should put there.
[08:47] <soundray> w30, genii: why 43? Has the universe evolved while I wasn't looking?
[08:47] <kahrytan> genii: The movie says 42
[08:47] <act1v8> rafaelscj: because I'd have to disconnect from here
[08:47] <defdef> does no one know where I can go to find a server 2003 IRC channel?
[08:47] <rafaelscj> act1v8, Can't you share your connection?
[08:47] <genii> soundray and kahrytan <w30> defdef, the answer is 43    <-- twice
[08:47] <act1v8> rafaelscj: no
[08:48] <kahrytan> genii: yet, in reality, the Hitchhikers say 42
[08:48] <defdef> i dont know what you mean by 43, i am sorry
[08:48] <hendrixski> _KP_, I'm gonna try soundray's thing with tac instead of sed... because I'm getting an error on trying to get to the last line and not on the add part :-(
[08:48] <genii> kahrytan: Yes :)
[08:48] <rafaelscj> act1v8, okay, start Ubuntu and let's try...
[08:48] <kahrytan> genii: You must be screwing around
[08:48] <armyriad> How can I increase the size of a partition that "/" is located on?
[08:49] <redhat9> how can i save files or keep settings when using live cd? anyone can help me please?
[08:49] <w30> CoasterMaster, I had to uncomment the line # Save and restore video state? SAVE_VIDEO_PCI_STATE=true
[08:49] <hendrixski> def def... a microsoft server 2003 channel??
[08:50] <hendrixski> defdef, this is a linux channel
[08:50] <act1v8> rafaelscj: I chose 800x600 32 to see what happens
[08:50] <defdef> i know, i know. lol, sorry. its just that i was here a long time ago and everyone was so helpful
[08:50] <soundray> armyriad: boot from a Desktop CD and use gparted to resize the partition where / lives. It may not be possible, depending on how your partitions are organized.
[08:50] <rafaelscj> act1v8, very good
[08:50] <CoasterMaster> w30: I'll give it a shot, thanks
[08:50] <defdef> and i cant find a windows server 2003 server channel
[08:50] <hagabaka> armyriad: you need to unmount the partition (so boot with another installation or liveCD), and use parted
[08:50] <stefg> armyriad: you could use the Live CD, there's a gparted on it. But maybe it's better just to add a new partition and put stuff there
[08:50] <defdef> so i was wondering if anyone knew where i could find one
[08:50] <armyriad> Ok, thanks.
[08:50] <Anlar> defdef: just try ##windows?
[08:50] <hendrixski> defdef, If I knew I'd tell you... :-)
[08:51] <stefg> armyriad: so what's eating up the space ?
[08:51] <hendrixski> defdef, I mean... I have a solution to your windows 2003 problems  :  install linux :-)
[08:51] <soundray> _KP_: have you tried running 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' during mount and eject?
[08:51] <juano__> hendrixski: lol
[08:51] <armyriad> stefg: Huh?
[08:51] <Anlar> hendrixski: good, as a joke
[08:51] <act1v8> rafaelscj: the same
[08:52] <act1v8> I'm gonna cry now, ok?
[08:52] <ADminS> how i can copy folder through ssh connection ?
[08:52] <rafaelscj> act1v8, no
[08:52] <_KP_> soundray: yes, and there are no error messages in any of the log files.
[08:52] <soundray> armyriad: do a 'cd / ; sudo du -x | sort -n | tail' to find out what's using most of the space in /
[08:52] <soundray> ADminS: with scp
[08:52] <d4rkmonkey> !hi > d4rkmonkey
[08:52] <act1v8> rafaelscj: what do you suggest?
[08:52] <d4rkmonkey> it makes me feel special..
[08:52] <stefg> armyriad: for what do you need more space? separating /var or putting /home on it's own partition is ususally wiser
[08:52] <Dr_Link> OK, who here has had a windows laptop that would go into Standby every time you'd shut the lid?
[08:52] <rafaelscj> act1v8, start on safe mode
[08:53] <Dr_Link> If so, does Ubuntu react the same way when closing the lid?
[08:53] <ADminS> soundray: i couldn't find out with scp copying folders
[08:53] <rafaelscj> act1v8, and then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:53] <ADminS> so can u advise plz
[08:53] <Anlar> ADminS: just mount the other place as scp/sftp with nautilus and drag&drop in civilized manner. this is not the middle ages
[08:53] <d4rkmonkey> Dr_Link, you can set what Ubuntu does when you close the lid
[08:53] <soundray> ADminS: scp -r for folders
[08:53] <act1v8> rafaels
[08:53] <act1v8> rafaelscj: ok
[08:53] <armyriad> stefg: Oh, ok.
[08:53] <ADminS> soundray: ok thx :)
[08:53] <defdef> Anlar: Thank you! thats what I was looking for.
[08:53] <Dr_Link> Is there a default setting?
[08:53] <d4rkmonkey> Dr_Link, I think the default setting is just go into a blank screen or something like that
[08:53] <d4rkmonkey> Dr_Link, its really easy to change
[08:54] <armyriad> Why should I put /home on its own partition?
[08:54] <Dr_Link> but I'm on Windows at the moment.
[08:54] <rafaelscj> act1v8, this is the last think to do :(
[08:54] <hendrixski> soundray, the tac | head | tail thing only prints out the last few lines... is there a way I can then add a line of my own text just before the last line?
[08:54] <Dr_Link> I think I'll reboot.
[08:54] <d4rkmonkey> Dr_Link, ok
[08:54] <Anlar> armyriad: then you can reinstall linux without having to think of making backups of your personal data
[08:54] <Le_F0u> when installing LAMP server.is phpmyadmin installed also?
[08:54] <act1v8> rafaelscj: I know :(
[08:54] <ADminS> Anlar can you give me example for how to mount file using ssh connection
[08:54] <Anlar> armyriad: or install an other flavor, or windows, etc :)
[08:54] <armyriad> Anlar: Thanks.
[08:55] <genii> Le_F0u: No, not by default
[08:55] <Le_F0u> i must apt-get?
[08:55] <stefg> armyriad: to have your personal stuff and settings separated from the OS. the OS can usually just be reinstalled in case of trouble, but your personal data and settings  can not
[08:55] <Anlar> ADminS: using scp you just do something like "scp -R mydirectory user@host.com:/somewhere/" and do not mount. but you can also mount ssh by using FUSE
[08:55] <therethinker> Is there anyway that the update manager could be trying to update if there's no net connection, and if so, how can I stop it?
[08:55] <genii> Le_F0u: Yes
[08:55] <Le_F0u> ok thx
[08:55] <rafaelscj> act1v8, I am on Windows now, and I can boot on Ubuntu and copy my xorg.conf...
[08:55] <soundray> Anlar: not -R
[08:56] <armyriad> Ok. How do I put /home on a different partition?
[08:56] <Le_F0u> Reading package lists... Done
[08:56] <Le_F0u> Building dependency tree... Done
[08:56] <Le_F0u> E: Couldn't find package phpmyadmin
[08:56] <Le_F0u> :x
[08:56] <act1v8> rafaelscj: what resolution do you have?
[08:56] <CoasterMaster> w30: no go :(   When I turn my computer back on, I see a flash of green and white lines and then the screen goes black
[08:56] <grazieno> hi people, how can I know when using ubuntu, and trying to execute a program that doesn't ve been instaled?
[08:56] <SrAfCiGeR> /dns nc-71-48-16-204.dhcp.embarqhsd.net
[08:56] <rafaelscj> act1v8, 1280x768
[08:56] <d4rkmonkey> grazieno, ... what?
[08:56] <empire_> im having problems my network interfaces configuration file will not open.. how can i restore a good version ??
[08:56] <Le_F0u> whats the problem genii?
[08:56] <Anlar> soundray: no? okay. :) I haven't done that on cli in years, Nautilus is just superior :)
[08:56] <grazieno> there is a way to find out, how can I get this?
[08:56] <d4rkmonkey> grazieno, find what out?
[08:56] <grazieno> kinda tip or something
[08:56] <gubluntu> how do i open applications on another logged in user when remotely connected via ssh?
[08:57] <gubluntu> im getting: (firefox-bin:7661): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[08:57] <act1v8> rafaelscj: that's close to mine
[08:57] <d4rkmonkey> grazieno, I'm sorry I have no idea what you're trying to say
[08:57] <utilizator_d_ubu> hi, i'm using ubuntu 7.04 on a dell latitude d830 laptop, does anyone know a driver that works for a nvidia quadro NVS 135 M video card?
[08:57] <grazieno> d4rkmonkey, a moment :)
[08:57] <rafaelscj> act1v8, 1280X768 or 1280X800
[08:57] <soundray> gubluntu: you want the firefox window on the remote machine or your local one?
[08:57] <act1v8> rafaelscj: 1280x800
[08:58] <Anlar> utilizator_d_ubu: quadros should work with the same drivers as the rest of the nvidias? they are just otherwise higher end
[08:58] <peeps_work> when I transfer files over samba, gnome shows a progress dialog with the speed of the transfer.  but when i look in gnome-system-monitor, it tells me a much different speed (almost 2x as much),  and that's the only thing being downloaded
[08:58] <khelll> am newbie to ubuntu and am having odd things
[08:58] <peeps_work> what gives
[08:58] <w30> CoasterMaster, do you have a sd card in your card reader alot? That will bork suspend big time!!
[08:58] <rafaelscj> act1v8, have you start on Ubuntu?
[08:58] <w30> alot/slot
[08:58] <khelll> why can't i c the restart button?
[08:58] <khelll> also the php never works
[08:58] <khelll> with apache
[08:59] <CoasterMaster> I do sometimes, but I don't right now.....but yes, occasionally I leave the SD card in there
[08:59] <act1v8> rafaelscj: I did start in safe mode
[08:59] <grazieno> ok, i will try it again
[08:59] <soundray> !lamp > khelll, please read the private message from ubotu
[08:59] <rafaelscj> act1v8, press ctrl+f2
[08:59] <gubluntu> soundray: i want it to appear on the local machine which is running gnome.. i am logged in remotely via ssh console only
[08:59] <genii> Back
[08:59] <act1v8> rafaelscj: nothing happens
[09:00] <rafaelscj> act1v8, open console
[09:00] <genii> Le_F0u: Did you first do:  sudo apt-get update      then   sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
[09:00] <khelll> which one sundary
[09:00] <soundray> gubluntu: you should start the ssh session with 'ssh -X user@remotehost'. Then the X connection for firefox will be forwarded across the link.
[09:00] <Vlet> I have an ati card with the proprietary drivers loaded; it seems like playing videos slows my system down, aside from the resizing of said movies being really slow, etc.. why? Is it just the driver?
[09:00] <_KP_> soundray: just fyi ... i reformatted the drive as fat32 and I still have the problems.
[09:00] <grazieno> i got a program in my ubuntu, that tells me ( when i try to execute something that is not installed ) how to get the program
[09:00] <w30> CoasterMaster, also don't have bios configured with boot from mem cards or memory sticks before harddrive
[09:00] <rafaelscj> act1v8, did you open?
[09:00] <grazieno> i mean the program that tells me that
[09:01] <genii> !info phpmyadmin
[09:01] <ubotu> phpmyadmin: Administrate MySQL over the WWW. In component universe, is extra. Version 4:2.9.1.1-2ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 3506 kB, installed size 13752 kB
[09:01] <Jestre> Do I have to do something special to add a device to /etc/fstab by UUID?  At creation time?
[09:01] <soundray> _KP_: wow, that's really weird. Did you do a full fsck at any stage when you still had ext2/3?
[09:01] <CoasterMaster> w30: I'm pretty sure that I don't have anything like that configured, but I'll double-check
[09:01] <johnficca> I have a thinkpad t40 with ubuntu 7.04, does anyone know how to get the modem to work for dial up Internet ?
[09:01] <gamma> sup
[09:01] <stefg> !dialup
[09:01] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[09:01] <_KP_> soundray: nope. I used gpartd to create the partitions.
[09:01] <jrib> grazieno: it's 'command-not-found'
[09:01] <w30> CoasterMaster, it will take the kernel foever before it gives up on finding a bootble image on a memory stick
[09:02] <khelll> which one sundary
[09:02] <soundray> _KP_: did you reboot at any stage after the problem first occurred?
[09:02] <rafaelscj> act1v8, u're here?
[09:02] <grazieno> actually , it says how to get the "program who is not found "
[09:02] <_KP_> soundray: no, i have not rebooted.
[09:02] <soundray> !lamp | khelll
[09:02] <ubotu> khelll: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[09:02] <act1v8> rafaelscj: yes I opened console
[09:02] <genii> Le_F0u:The universe repository should already be enabled, but if not you can do: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list   and remove the # from in front of all the repositories you want to use.
[09:02] <grazieno> it say that the program is not found and also say how to get it
[09:03] <jrib> grazieno: the namy of the program that tells you that is 'command-not-found'.  What do you want to know?
[09:03] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone know of any good 2D games for Ubuntu that are in the repositories?
[09:03] <rafaelscj> act1v8 type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[09:03] <grazieno> no
[09:03] <deathblooms> Any 1 found a Gmail client for ubutnu?
[09:03] <andreas__> Hi. Is Kubuntu still more unstable than Ubuntu?
[09:03] <act1v8> rafaelscj: I'm not that big of a noob :)
[09:03] <ConstyXIV> is it possible to use some bluetooth device to get audio from my BT laptop to a stereo?
[09:03] <d4rkmonkey> deathblooms, do you mean one that checks to see if you have new email?
[09:03] <grazieno> the name of the program that tells me that the program is not found and also tells me how to get the program that i ve tryed to exevute
[09:03] <deathblooms> yes
[09:03] <soundray> _KP_: in that case I suspect you've had it mounted twice to different mountpoints at some point, then it didn't unmount cleanly. I'd do a reboot, then try to reproduce the problem.
[09:03] <ConstyXIV> deathblooms: any old mail client (like evolution) will do it
[09:03] <khelll> and why the restart button sometimes is active an other is  missing completely
[09:03] <rafaelscj> act1v8 sorry
[09:03] <Music_Shuffle_> andreas__, ymmv
[09:04] <jrib> grazieno: what is your question?
[09:04] <andreas__> ymmv???
[09:04] <_KP_> soundray: I'll give it a try. thanks.
[09:04] <ConstyXIV> andreas__: your mileage may vary
[09:04] <w30> d4rkmonkey, solitare?
[09:04] <Music_Shuffle_> andreas__, Your Mileage May Vary = ymmv.  Pretty much, depends.
[09:04] <d4rkmonkey> deathblooms, pidgin (you'd have to compile though) can if you set it up for google talk too, but theres things like checkgmail I think so
[09:04] <v3ctor> andreas__: i have never had a stability problem with kubuntu
[09:04] <act1v8> rafaelscj: ok... done... continue
[09:04] <w30> d4rkmonkey, chess?
[09:04] <johnficca> how do I check what modem I have and what driver I need for it?
[09:04] <deathblooms> what do i put for server type ?
[09:04] <jrib> !dialup > johnficca (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:04] <v3ctor> johnficca: lspci
[09:04] <andreas__> And now the million dollar question: what is my mileage??
[09:05] <stefg> !dialup
[09:05] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[09:05] <rafaelscj> act1v8, are you editing?
[09:05] <UbuntuN00B_Hbg> Hi all! I dont want to need to enter my password when my computer returns from stand by (closing the lid on the laptop)... can i change that?
[09:05] <d4rkmonkey> deathblooms, for pidgin? I forget exactly... if you just want the email checking go for something like checkgmail
[09:05] <act1v8> yes
[09:05] <Music_Shuffle_> andreas__, 42.  Duh.  In reality, might as well try, but good luck either way :)
[09:05] <v3ctor> andreas__: some people have issues, some bug, some user error
[09:05] <ConstyXIV> deathblooms: it's pop.gmail.com, and you need to enable SSL, username is your full address.  for sending it's smtp.gmail.com, and enable tls.  user/pass is same
[09:05] <rafaelscj> act1v8, find the section called "monitor" :)
[09:05] <grazieno> I got something installed at my ubuntu, some kind of software, that tells me when i try to execute something like: "myprog" for example. it tells me taht i got no "myprog" installed and also say: "to get the myprog try : apt-get install myprog". this program thatgives me this information is what i want to know :)
[09:05] <act1v8> ok
[09:05] <Jack_Sparrow> johnficca: Find the modem by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS
[09:06] <act1v8> rafaelscj: can we private talk please
[09:06] <jrib> grazieno: it is called: command-not-found
[09:06] <rafaelscj> act1v8, okay
[09:06] <ConstyXIV> grazieno: what jrib said
[09:06] <grazieno> ooo
[09:06] <w30> UbuntuN00B_Hbg, go to system>preferences>power management and change it there
[09:06] <grazieno> k thanks
[09:06] <act1v8> rafaelscj: can you read me?
[09:07] <rafaelscj> act1v8, okay
[09:07] <act1v8> continue
[09:08] <act1v8> rafaelscj: ok I'm at secton monitor
[09:08] <UbuntuN00B_Hbg> w30: cant find what to deselect there... ive deselected "lock screen on screen saver" since that seems to be related, but it doesnt help...
[09:08] <khelll> why can't i c the restart button?
[09:08] <deathblooms> hmm it shows i have no emails
[09:08] <rafaelscj> act1v8, read at private
[09:08] <Moc> My X Win seem to freeze for about 200ms every 2 second, what could be causing this issue ?
[09:08] <act1v8> rafaelscj: are you registered to freenode?
[09:08] <ConstyXIV> khelll: it should be an option in shutdown
[09:08] <rafaelscj> act1v8, no
[09:09] <rafaelscj> act1v8, why?
[09:09] <facugaich> How can I make a gif animation with some images?
[09:09] <ConstyXIV> deathblooms: have you enabled POP from the gmail web interface?
[09:09] <act1v8> rafaelscj: well you can't pvm me
[09:09] <mooglinux> im having trouble editing my xorg.conf file, anyone think they can help?

[09:10] <deathblooms> ok where at on gmail.com
[09:11] <TheCougar> does ubuntu o have a TFTP program built into it? particularly one with a gui?:)
[09:11] <hendrixski> !paste
[09:11] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[09:11] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone know if there is a way to upgrade to Gutsy (tribe 3) through the update manager?
[09:11] <olskolirc> white font?
[09:11] <olskolirc> nope
[09:11] <d4rkmonkey> Like... update manager -d or something I dunno
[09:11] <jrib> !upgrade > d4rkmonkey (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:11] <khelll> ConstyIXIV , where to configure that
[09:11] <d4rkmonkey> Thanks jrib
[09:11] <jrib> d4rkmonkey: note that gutsy is still in development and you are likely to end up with a broken system
[09:11] <ConstyXIV> deathblooms: in settings, "Forwarding and POP"
[09:12] <rey> #beryl
[09:12] <olskolirc> white
[09:12] <olskolirc> ahhh got it
[09:12] <olskolirc> better font
[09:12] <lonran> hi everybody
[09:12] <d4rkmonkey> Yeah, I know jrib, but right now anything 3D freezes my system, and I heard it was fixed in gutsy
[09:12] <rey> #beryl
[09:12] <fra> ciao
[09:12] <olskolirc> very white font?
[09:13] <olskolirc> ok
[09:13] <lonran> when using nm-applet it doesnt show my wireless card, why can it be?
[09:13] <jrib> d4rkmonkey: make sure you have backups at least
[09:13] <d4rkmonkey> jrib, yeah, thats probably something smart for me to do first.
[09:13] <herbert> Hi, is there anyone who wants to help me with a Nvidia driver problem?
[09:13] <jrib> !anyone | herbert
[09:13] <ubotu> herbert: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:13] <d4rkmonkey> jrib, I don't think the link you gave me has anything for gutsy right now...
[09:14] <ZmaX> Hi all. Anyone which CX4126x-like tv tuner works ?
[09:14] <w30> UbuntuN00B_Hbg, that must have been what I was thinking, sorry for the bum info
[09:14] <ZmaX> ciao fra

[09:23] <jrib> hendrixski: well you *could* do something like   $i'foobar'    for what you are asking but if you asked me the third to last line I wouldn't know :)
[09:23] <TheCougar> simple as that
[09:23] <Kromel> deathblooms, really??  Are you absolutely sure that's what caused it to blow up?
[09:23] <Dr_Link> Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[09:23] <deathblooms> hey Kromel I sent you a pm
[09:23] <PriceChild> sephy, only community supported from feisty onwards afaik
[09:23] <jinxed-> genii, it is NTFS

[09:25] <d4rkmonkey> Hey, wheres the file with all the repos in it?
[09:25] <timposey> I know there is a forum specifically for xubuntu, but there seems to be no one home here and maybe someone can answer this question.  installing xubuntu I get the following message /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[09:25] <w30> UbuntuN00B_Hbg, that is what I get for thinking. Change lid closing from lock screen configuration to do nothing configuration.
[09:25] <therethinker> is there a way to install the broadcom BCM-4306 without using the internet? The fwcutter package downloads the firmware in the middle of the installation, so that's no good
[09:26] <Kromel> deathblooms, can you pastebin your xorg.conf file please?
[09:26] <hendrixski> jrib, hmmm
[09:26] <pike__> timposey: do a google searchlike: 'site:ubuntuforums.org "/bin/sh" tty job control' i dont know the answer but i think its covered in forums quite a bit

[09:29] <deathblooms> ok what do u want with it
[09:29] <deathblooms> i have it up
[09:29] <therethinker> act1v8: If the computer is hooked up to the net, you can use apt-get to install a package
[09:29] <Mishu> pike_, Do i need to do any configuration or just create an account and provide it to that guy with IP addr?
[09:29] <act1v8> therethinker: no.. it's not connected
[09:29] <orbisvicis> hey ... how can i start conky in fluxbox ... put in .fluxbox/startup and fluxbox stops
[09:29] <pike__> Mishu: yeah then just ssh ipaddress. you can ssh localhost  to test on the computer. that is command line login
[09:30] <jrib> !compile > SoulChild (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:30] <act1v8> therethinker: and Ubuntu isn't installed
[09:30] <pike__> Mishu: no user acccounts will be used so if you need to add somone youd sudo adduser
[09:30] <Kromel> deathblooms, ahh, thought you wanted in.  I think an easier way for you is probably using gedit.  Go ahead and get out of nano.
[09:30] <jinxed-> genii, I went to the page you said and did what it said, and now I can't even unmount my hard drive
[09:30] <Mishu> pike_, If i want anyuser can get X is there any way?
[09:30] <pike__> !ssh > Mishu
[09:30] <deathblooms> kk
[09:30] <Kromel> deathblooms, and this time, do:   gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:31] <jinxed-> I am having problems with my EXTERNAL drive, I can see it, and I can acess files, but I can't save to it, or write. What should I do?
[09:31] <deathblooms> kk
[09:31] <pike__> Mishu: easy way is to ssh into the comp and run vncserver. then run a vncclient on the remote machine to connect to the server. really though ubuntu's remote session opton in the panel might be better for ya
[09:31] <genii> jinxed: what does mount command show just for that drive?
[09:31] <act1v8> therethinker
[09:31] <act1v8> what package
[09:31] <deathblooms> im in
[09:31] <Mishu> Okay pike_ !
[09:31] <Kromel> deathblooms, copy the test in the conf file and paste it here:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[09:32] <Kromel> deathblooms, then send me the link for the pasted pastebin.
[09:32] <jinxed-> genii, Well I did what it said and it didn't work so I went to right click eject like I usally do to see if it would work after I reconnected but it won't even let me eject it

[09:33] <Hegemon> any channels that have to do with resolution?
[09:33] <stefg> Negatifzeo: hthe linux hfs+ driver is readonly , IMHO
[09:34] <stefg> !fixres
[09:34] <w30> jinxed-, it's probably mounted read only (check /etc/mtab. If so umoun it and remount it rw . See man mount.

[09:34] <SORMANOV> just a philosophical question, i have two nodes cluster and need to name my nodes, what do you suggest me :)
[09:34] <jinxed-> stefg, I tried that already
[09:35] <attunix> can i boot my computer from an iso disk image?
[09:35] <attunix> i dont have any cd-r's nearby
[09:35] <jinxed-> w30, I don't know what you are saying, I am new to linux
[09:35] <leagris> hello, can someone help mounting Windows shares with smbfs/cifs while share name is like SHARENAME (D) ?
[09:35] <pitwalker> CD-RW?
[09:35] <stefg> !samba
[09:35] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[09:35] <pitwalker> with wubi from windows you can install, but i aware from this
[09:35] <Negatifzeo> !fuse
[09:35] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[09:35] <Kromel> deathblooms, okay, everything looks good except that you don't have Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" True" in your conf file.
[09:35] <leagris> stefg, the problem is the space and the parenthesis inside the share name
[09:35] <UbuntuN00B_Hbg> w30: I thinks i found it! :) Modding "/etc/default/acpi-support " should work, theres an entry for locking screen! :)
[09:35] <attunix> pitwalker: no burnable cd's at all
[09:36] <deathblooms> Can u past a new 1
[09:36] <deathblooms> so i can just copy over all my stuff
[09:36] <stefg> leagris: proper quoting should solve this
[09:36] <Kromel> deathblooms, do you mind to entertain me and put that back in, save it and reboot?  if it messes up on you, you can take that line back out and reboot.
[09:36] <leagris> stefg, can't quote anything inside fstab
[09:37] <w30> jinxed-, you are going to need a Linux book because you can't get all the education you need in here.:=)
[09:37] <deathblooms> where do i put that line
[09:37] <Kromel> deathblooms, in the terminal, type:  sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:37] <deathblooms> below what
[09:37] <stefg> leagris: so use escapes...
[09:37] <deathblooms> kk
[09:37] <therethinker> Is there a way to install bcm4306-fwcutter by downloading the firmware manually?
[09:37] <Kromel> okay, scroll down to where it shows your video card, under the device section.
[09:37] <stefg> leagris: or use fusesmb, which is easier anyway
[09:37] <genii> Back.
[09:37] <leagris> stefg, does not seem to work either with //servername//SHARENAME\ \(D\) /mountpount ...
[09:37] <genii> jinxed: Sorry for lag, I'm at work and had to go do some actual work
[09:37] <jinxed-> w30, well I may have to but I am about to have my computer repaired tomorrow and I need to back up my files
[09:37] <w30> UbuntuN00B_Hbg, wonderful, I will try to remember that too. Thank you
[09:38] <Kromel> deathblooms, put it exactly under Driver "nvidia"
[09:38] <jinxed-> genii, no problem
[09:38] <UbuntuN00B_Hbg> w30: :)
[09:38] <deathblooms> what do i put again
[09:38] <Osavi> hi
[09:38] <Kromel> deathblooms,
[09:38] <Kromel> Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
[09:39] <genii> jinxed: So, when you put in a terminal/console:  mount please tell me what it says for that hd (not the other ones)
[09:39] <stefg> leagris: i'm no syntax expert, but might be something like \&20 fo a space
[09:39] <deathblooms> ok save and restart?
[09:39] <deathblooms> eww wouldnt let me save
[09:39] <jinxed-> genii, what do you want me to do?
[09:39] <deathblooms> dont have permission
[09:40] <leagris> stefg, k will try this, do you now the code for ( and ) ?
[09:40] <jinxed-> w30, i checked etc/mtab and got this
[09:40] <IceLink> hey there. i wanted to ask whether i have to install fglrx again after upgrading
[09:40] <jinxed-> /dev/sdb1 /media/EXTERNAL ntfs rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=222,utf8 0 0
[09:40] <deathblooms> says check locaten
[09:40] <Kromel> deathblooms, okay, close gedit and use the same command, but put sudo in front of it.  sudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:40] <THeGhos> kto tut ruskij?
[09:40] <jinxed-> genii, i am not sure how to mount or anything much in terminal
[09:41] <deathblooms> says command not found
[09:41] <Kromel> deathblooms, oops!  sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:41] <Skiessi> THeGhos:  -> #ubuntu-ru
[09:41] <deathblooms> sudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:41] <stefg> leagris: why not just using legal filenames ? :-)
[09:41] <Mishu> pike_, I get error authentication fail - i used the samethe pwd used for login and that is the only pwd i created
[09:41] <w30> jinxed-, have you tried sudo nautilus in a command prompt? maybe the permissions are just wrong on the files you want to copy. That will give you a drag and drop ability from the file browser for all files.
[09:41] <jinxed-> genii, Although I found that my external harddrive is at media/EXTERNAL
[09:41] <leagris> stefg, because Windows insisting in adding a space and drive letter between parenthesis whan sharing a whole disk
[09:41] <Bulazeem> noob question :'(.   what do i press to terminate an unresponsive program in ubuntu?   im pretty new and ctrl alt del does nothing =/
[09:42] <pike__> Mishu: failed for ssh or vnc?
[09:42] <Mishu> pike_, For Sudo install
[09:42] <tyler> cntl c
[09:42] <Mishu> sudo apt-get
[09:42] <genii> jinxed: OK, so try unmounting in terminal by:           umount /media/EXTERNAL
[09:42] <genii> no N in umount
[09:42] <Mishu> sudo apt-get openssh-server
[09:42] <deathblooms> kk now just restart my pc and come back
[09:42] <pike__> only your original user will be alble to sudo. if you type 'groups' youll see if you are a member of admin group if not then that user hasnt access to use sudo
[09:43] <genii> (before the m anyhow)
[09:43] <jinxed-> w30, when I did that there is a big lock icon next to my external folder
[09:43] <jinxed-> ok will try genii
[09:43] <leagris> stefg, I can use that share with Gnome VFS but it has several caveat, twice slowre, does not map special letters accent correctly and is not permanent
[09:43] <Mishu> pike__, thats the only user i created!
[09:43] <deathblooms> what if it messes up
[09:43] <stefg> leagris: look at fusesmb
[09:43] <deathblooms> what do i do
[09:43] <Kromel> deathblooms, yeah.  if it blows up.  in the terminal, use:  sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and remove that line.  then reboot.
[09:43] <stefg> !info fusesmb | leagris
[09:43] <ubotu> leagris: fusesmb: filesystem client based on the SMB file transfer protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.5-1 (feisty), package size 26 kB, installed size 140 kB
[09:43] <Skiessi> Bulazeem: System > Admin*something > System Manager (can't remember, I use localization)
[09:44] <pike__> Mishu: do you see an admin group when you run groups command? ls /home also and see if other users are present there
[09:44] <jinxed-> genii, got: tom@tom-laptop:~$ umount /media/EXTERNAL
[09:44] <jinxed-> umount: /media/EXTERNAL is not in the fstab (and you are not root)
[09:44] <Mishu> Okay!
[09:44] <leagris> stefg will look at it but the space and parenthesis may still be a problem inside fstab, I home not
[09:44] <deathblooms> kk brb
[09:44] <leagris> hope not
[09:44] <Bulazeem> Skiessi: ty very much =] 
[09:44] <Unrestful> Quick question. I would like to install a SourceForge app named Zenoss.  I am at the download screen but not sure which RPM to download. Here's a link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=163126
[09:44] <stefg> leagris: fusesmb doesn't need a fstab entry :-) (userspace)

[09:46] <Paddy_EIRE> Unrestful: there are debs there :D
[09:46] <Paddy_EIRE> Unrestful: woops
[09:46] <jinxed-> What would the lock icon next to my external harddrive mean
[09:47] <bimmelim> does anyone know why I get "frequency scaling unsupported" all of a sudden???
[09:47] <caintona> jinxed: read only
[09:47] <Paddy_EIRE> Unrestful: never mind I cant be sure which you should go for as I am not familiar with the app, is it mentioned in the ubuntu forums
[09:47] <stefg> jinxed-: check the filesystem on the external disk, might be corrupt
[09:47] <uwflatlander> Anyone know a good tool to use to backup an ntfs partition other than partimage?
[09:47] <Kromel> unrestfull, here is an ubuntu install guide for Zenoss:  http://www.howtoforge.com/zenoss_network_monitor_ubuntu
[09:48] <Unrestful> Thanks Paddy and Kromel :)
[09:48] <jinxed-> stefg how would I check the filesystem to see if it infact was corrupt
[09:48] <bimmelim> does anyone know why I get "frequency scaling unsupported" all of a sudden???
[09:48] <Kromel> Unrestful, it's pretty strait forward. Pretty much copy and paste the commands.
[09:48] <Znortfl> Hello Ubuntu people, I have searched for a php-gtk2 package in the repo but I couldnt find it. Does anybody know if its there and if not, if there is a way to install it via apt-get
[09:48] <stefg> jinxed-: if it's ntfs you gotta use windoes' chkdsk
[09:48] <Dr_Link> Would anyone recommend against the Desktop Effects?
[09:48] <deathblooms> umm nop
[09:49] <Kromel> deathblooms, did it blow up?
[09:49] <deathblooms> did not work
[09:49] <bimmelim> does anyone know why I get "frequency scaling unsupported" all of a sudden???
[09:49] <deathblooms> no it boated fine
[09:49] <jinxed-> stefg, it doesn't have windows on it though
[09:49] <deathblooms> just still no boardeer
[09:49] <Kromel> .....
[09:49] <Paddy_EIRE> stefg: now that there is write access to ntfs partitions why not somethin similar to chkdsk in gparted
[09:49] <uwflatlander> Dr_Link: Yes if you have an ATI video card
[09:49] <Kromel> deathblooms, give me a moment.  sorry for the waste of time so far.
[09:50] <sapuro> Dr_Link recommend against the Desktop Effects? why? :s
[09:50] <deathblooms> ohh no no
[09:50] <stefg> jinxed-: there is no way to check an ntfs filesystem on linux. ntfs is proprietary, and all drivers are reverse engineered.
[09:50] <Paddy_EIRE> Dr_Link: what card precisely
[09:50] <deathblooms> thank you
[09:50] <VonGuard> hello
[09:50] <VonGuard> i have a daper question
[09:50] <sapuro> uwflatlander I got it working with ati card
[09:50] <jinxed-> hmm well i am kind of screwed there, then how to people dual boot windows and linux?
[09:50] <Lazareth> Hello, can anybody help me with a slight problem? My playback of .mp3 lacks sound except for some sporadic quick sounds that sound like music played really quickly. I've installed the restricted codec packages and tried with three different (rhythmplayer, exaile, VLC) programs. All other kind of music files I've tried (.ogg mainly) works fine.
[09:50] <Paddy_EIRE> !ask > VonGuard
[09:50] <VonGuard> i have a laptop with dapper up to date, and it has a seemingly functional cisco aeronet 300 card in it. the card lights, the OS says its there, and the os seems to sign onto the wireless network fine
[09:50] <shavex> how do you put a file on an external hard drive when it says i dont have permissions? i know i need to use root but im not sure what the command is to get it from my computer to the disk
[09:50] <VonGuard> but no connectivity
[09:50] <VonGuard> not getting an IP or nothing
[09:51] <Corsu>  les gens...
[09:51] <WaxyFresh> to install codecs on 64bit ubuntu,would i use the same as on normal ubuntu?
[09:51] <uwflatlander> sapuro: You can get it working, but the ati drivers are buggy and it's kinda hacky
[09:51] <VonGuard> even though the wireless metter is full
[09:51] <VonGuard> and i am on that network with this machine
[09:51] <Kromel> deathblooms, can you "spin" the cube?
[09:51] <Corsu> Y'a personne qui parle franais ?
[09:51] <deathblooms> yep
[09:51] <VonGuard> any ideas of what i can try to fix it?
[09:51] <Paddy_EIRE> WaxyFresh: there is w64codecs and flash is an annoyance with 64 bit
[09:51] <VonGuard> ifconfig shows no ip
[09:51] <WaxyFresh> shavex: gksu nautilius /place/file
[09:51] <Kromel> deathblooms, okay, good.  brb, searching.
[09:51] <bimmelim> do I have to reinstall ubuntu get "frequence scaling" to work again?
[09:51] <deathblooms> Hey let me check my xorg
[09:51] <WaxyFresh> Paddy_EIRE: well im useing 32 bit swiftfox
[09:51] <deathblooms> i wanna make shure it saved
[09:51] <Paddy_EIRE> WaxyFresh: must you use 64bit
[09:51] <Dr_Link> Someone call for me?
[09:52] <rambo3> VonGuard what type of card , is firmware installed?
[09:52] <Dr_Link> I got a hilight alert from XChat.
[09:52] <aristos_achaion> Corsu: Je le parle un petit peu, mais pas courrament.
[09:52] <WaxyFresh> Paddy_EIRE: you sure?
[09:52] <WaxyFresh> Paddy_EIRE: i think ive had it working in the past
[09:52] <VonGuard> cisco aironet 350
[09:52] <stefg> !fr
[09:52] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[09:52] <shavex> WaxyFresh, and thats to the source? what about putting it at a destination?
[09:52] <VonGuard> and it was using an early cisco card before with no troubles
[09:52] <VonGuard> firmware?
[09:52] <VonGuard> on the card?
[09:52] <Paddy_EIRE> WaxyFresh: all I keep hearing and I run a 64 bit lappy but wouldnt touch a 64bit os
[09:53] <genii> jinxed: Unfortunately I don't have enough time in a row to properly help you right now, i keep getting called to work and am at computer like a minute or 2 then it happens again
[09:53] <WaxyFresh> shavex: nautilus is the file manager for ubuntu right? just type in /gksu nautalis a window will open up and you can browse whatever with rot access
[09:53] <jinxed-> haha its alright
[09:53] <jinxed-> genii,
[09:53] <jinxed-> whatever help you have is great
[09:53] <shavex> WaxyFresh, ooo ok thank you!
[09:54] <rambo3> VonGuard no firmware on this system
[09:54] <VonGuard> oh
[09:54] <shavex> WaxyFresh, actually it did nothing
[09:54] <VonGuard> uh... not sure
[09:54] <VonGuard> probbaly not up to date
[09:54] <tdoggette> ol
[09:54] <VonGuard> not sure how to update either, since it has no floppy drive and only runs dapper
[09:54] <WaxyFresh> Paddy_EIRE: im sure i had it working i used automatix to install swiftfox32 and the plugins,then when i installed the kubuntu desktop something got messed up and i need to reinstall all my codecs java and all that fun stuff
[09:54] <WaxyFresh> shavex: then i dont know
[09:54] <Kromel> deathblooms, which nvidia driver are you using?
[09:55] <rambo3> VonGuard try googling couse i have other D-Link card and  one more and both need firmware. Google cisco aironet 350  firmware ubuntu
[09:55] <pike__> WaxyFresh: never admit to using automatix :)
[09:55] <jinxed-> Can someone help me get my external hard drive working?
[09:55] <WaxyFresh> shavex: did you type it into a terminal?
[09:55] <shavex> yep
[09:55] <Faldrien> shavex: did it ask you for your root password?
[09:55] <shavex> nope
[09:55] <Paddy_EIRE> WaxyFresh: ohh, will automatix not handle that again (if you must use it) automatix is a good way to bork your system and its not supported
[09:55] <Paddy_EIRE> on this channel
[09:55] <caintona> jinxed: what is the problem with the drive?
[09:55] <VonGuard> rambo3, poop, there's an update, but only for windows
[09:55] <VonGuard> addresses this very issue
[09:56] <Faldrien> shavex: try hitting alt + f2 and then typing 'gksudo nautilus'
[09:56] <shavex> Faldrien, ok that opened the file browser
[09:57] <Kromel> deathblooms, you there bud?
[09:57] <Faldrien> shavex: the file browser that is open has root access and you should be able to copy files on to your drive through it
[09:58] <genii> jinxed: You said the hd is ntfs. Is there XP or something like that on it, or just formatted ntfs filesystem?
[09:58] <File13> Got a question about my sound. my sound was working alright in ubuntu but when i booted into XP then came back into Ubuntu my sound no longer is there. I tried doing a cold boot into Ubuntu as well and that didnt fix anything, any ideas?
[09:59] <Negatifzeo> Does anyone know how I can write to my mac HD from ubuntu?
[10:00] <siloko> hi guys - now that beryl is discontinued does anyone know of an easy how-to to get the compiz-fusion add-ons (beryl functionality). the git source tree on open-compositing.org is unfamiliar to me!?

[10:04] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:04] <Kromel> deathblooms, yeah, that part looks good.
[10:04] <orbisvicis> !composite

[10:05] <jinxed-> genii, it is just formated NTFS
[10:05] <joose_> hi all
[10:05] <Faldrien> shavex: does your root user have write access?
[10:05] <Sonarx> Hello! Anyone here an expert on Xorg and graphics problems?
[10:05] <shavex> Faldrien, nope
[10:06] <Kromel> deathblooms, did you install the driver? or did it come installed?
[10:06] <Unrestful> #quit "Work is calling"
[10:06] <BladeZ> Help somebody. I try to install Ubuntu to my PC, but installation doesn't seem to see my 10gb unallocated partition.
[10:06] <shavex> Faldrien, i tried changing the premissions
[10:06] <joose_> i have question ... here is somebody from poland?
[10:06] <deathblooms> i installed it with envy
[10:06] <Faldrien> shavex: what file system does the hard drive use
[10:06] <genii> jinxed: If it is just to be used for sharing between linux and windoze, I would recommend to format it to ext3 filesystem from linux, then use to access it from some windoze box the driver for ext3 at www.fs-driver.org
[10:06] <Kromel> deathblooms, lets check out the #beryl channel.
[10:06] <shavex> Faldrien, i think it uses NTFS but i use it just as a storage device, like it doesnt have an OS on it, but i think it might have come with NTFS
[10:07] <joose_> i have problem i need help... please
[10:07] <joose_> somebody help me?
[10:07] <Sonarx> What's the trouble Joose?
[10:07] <shavex> joose_, just type your problem
[10:07] <pxl_> nick PxL
[10:07] <Jinxed> genii, how would i do that
[10:07] <genii> jinxed: Writing to ext3 from windoze is better and safer than writing to ntfs from linux
[10:08] <joose_> im fresh user ubuntu...you know
[10:08] <genii> jinxed: How do you format the disk?
[10:08] <joose_> and i dont know where i can find my folders from windows
[10:08] <blanky> hey guys, what's a command that will let me mute all sound, and then unmute it after
[10:08] <krzee> genii, writing to ntfs using fuse is safe, ive done it from osX using macfuse quite a few times
[10:08] <blanky> I tried 'sudo mute' but it didn't exist
[10:09] <Sonarx> Have you mounted the windows partition?
[10:09] <Jinxed> genii, yeah
[10:09] <krzee> only it is pretty slow
[10:09] <blanky> it only existed in a package called 'aumix' or something
[10:09] <blanky> anyone? please?
[10:09] <Jinxed> genii, wouldn't I lose all my data
[10:09] <Jinxed> genii, I have a couple hundred gigs already on it
[10:09] <joose_> no... i have windows first
[10:09] <shavex> Faldrien, do you know how i could change the permissions or how to write to the drive from Linux?
[10:09] <genii> jinxed:Ah, then no formatting.
[10:10] <BladeZ> help, installation can't see 10GB UNPARTITIONED
[10:10] <blanky> someone, please, how can I mute all sound with a command?
[10:10] <alpo> anyone here use transparent aterm in fluxbox?
[10:10] <genii> jinxed: Need to muddle thru the ntfs-3g stuff then. Which device is it that is your external hd to the ubuntu? like /dev/sdb /dev/sdd  or something
[10:10] <blanky> someone please?
[10:10] <blanky> anyone?
[10:10] <blanky> how can I mute all sound with a command
[10:10] <jrib> blanky: some invocation of 'amixer', you'll have to read the man page
[10:10] <Sonarx> Ok I would open up nautilis and see if Ubuntu sees your windows partition.
[10:10] <blanky> jrib: thanks
[10:11] <alpo> aterm doesn't want to use my .Xdefaults in fluxbox
[10:11] <Sonarx> Please pardon my spelling.
[10:11] <alpo> and the #afterstep/#aterm guys have as much clue as I do
[10:11] <Faldrien> shavex: i did some googling, and found that ntfs-3g can be used
[10:11] <genii> jinxed: Best thing here i think is to use the pastebin. I'll ask you to find and copy the contents of some files for me to a website, then they can be examined for clues.
[10:11] <alpo> never had that problem before
[10:11] <tcstech> ...still can't get the side button on muh mouse to behave in firefox & konquer... Any help?
[10:11] <genii> !pastebin | jinxed
[10:11] <ubotu> jinxed: 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)
[10:11] <krzee> Faldrien, isnt that using fuse ?
[10:11] <BladeZ> Ubuntu sees my whole HDD as a whole, while i have 2 NTSF and 1 unallocated partition
[10:12] <tcstech> :( BladeZ did you tell the installer to use entire HD?
[10:12] <BladeZ> can't make ubuntu to install in that 1 unallocated partition
[10:12] <BladeZ> no, bcause i want to keep my WinXP
[10:12] <pike__> BladeZ: dapper or feisty?
[10:12] <tcstech> Good.
[10:12] <genii> jinxed: so the files of interest would be:   /etc/fstab         and the outputs of the commands:   blkid    and    fdisk -l
[10:12] <BladeZ> 7.04
[10:12] <tcstech> I do not remember... does the 7.04 live
[10:13] <tcstech> cD
[10:13] <BladeZ> thats feisty i think
[10:13] <Faldrien> krzee: no, as far as i know, fuse is for mounting folders over SSH
[10:13] <krzee> noble, that is a use of it tho
[10:13] <Sonarx> Yes 7.04 is Feisty
[10:13] <tcstech> >.< enter too close to shift!!
[10:13] <krzee> grr
[10:13] <krzee> nick completion
[10:13] <krzee> no you can use fuse for much more than that
[10:13] <krzee> including write to ntfs
[10:13] <joose_> i'm very fresh in linux and i dont know what i must doing
[10:13] <BladeZ> what to do?? Partition Magic shows Error 177, so i can't open it
[10:13] <Sonarx> Can anyone help me with an image quality problem?
[10:13] <tcstech> is qtparted on the liveCD?
[10:13] <faemir> which jabber client do people here recommend? gajim? (on gnome)
[10:14] <Sonarx> No but you can get qparted on a live cd all on its own
[10:14] <shavex> Faldrien, thank you!!!
[10:14] <Kromel> deathblooms, you there?
[10:14] <Faldrien> shavex: no problem.  did ntfs-3g work out?
[10:14] <deathblooms> yea i got it
[10:14] <Kromel> kk
[10:14] <deathblooms> sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24

[10:14] <Jinxed> genii, I tried to cd to /etc/fstab and it said not a directory
[10:14] <deathblooms> Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
[10:14] <deathblooms> Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" added to Screen "Default Screen".
[10:14] <deathblooms> Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
[10:14] <deathblooms> New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[10:14] <Sonarx> joose_ click on places then computer it should list drives and removeable media.
[10:14] <khelll> or how can i destroy it at least
[10:14] <BladeZ> I have to say, that the empty partition is an formated ex-MACOSX partition
[10:15] <deathblooms> so ..
[10:15] <deathblooms> should i restart
[10:15] <deathblooms> ?
[10:15] <genii> jinxed: use:   gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[10:15] <Kromel> Deathblooms, yeah.
[10:15] <Kromel> Deathblooms, but
[10:15] <shavex> Faldrien, im installing it right now... ill let you know if it works...

[10:16] <lImItaO> somebody knows how to run a rom from command line in gens emulator?
[10:16] <khelll> how can i know the name of the process on port 80
[10:16] <Kromel> deathblooms, if it blows up.  just rename the xorg.conf to xorg.old  and xorg.backup to xorg.conf.
[10:16] <Sonarx> Open file system and navigate to the media folder.
[10:16] <Jinxed> genii, it didnt work I posted what happened in the pastebin
[10:16] <deathblooms> kk ill see what happends
[10:16] <Kromel> kk
[10:16] <Sonarx> It should have your windows partition listed in there if not then you will have to mount it manually.
[10:16] <genii> jinxed: url please?
[10:17] <deathblooms> i love it when i click restart it just sits there
[10:17] <Kromel> deathblooms, if that doesn't help. we can look in the advanced settings in Ceryl.
[10:17] <joose_> roger
[10:17] <Kromel> err Beryl.
[10:17] <khelll> help

[10:18] <Skiessi> lImItaO: http://tasvideos.org/Grrl.html in this? I think it's something like "gens romsfilename"
[10:18] <teratoma> which of these power daemon related things, like acpi-daemon power-daemon, should i have enabled in bum?  or should i have them all on?
[10:19] <lImItaO> Skiessi: thank you
[10:19] <blanky> hey guys in alsamixer I accidentally pressed ENTER but didn't know what it did, and it doesn't seem to say in the man page, anyone know?
[10:19] <Skiessi> or is there other versions of Gens for Linux?
[10:19] <Sonarx> This article should help you out joose_  http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=585
[10:19] <genii> jinxed: It seems you may be using KDE instead. Please try:   kdesu kate /etc/fstab
[10:19] <joose_> i dont see nothing from windows
[10:20] <deathblooms> Yea know Luck !
[10:20] <Sonarx> What is listed there?
[10:20] <joose_> ok ... i check this
[10:21] <deathblooms> No Luck
[10:21] <lImItaO> Skiessi: I installed a deb from ubutugames
[10:21] <lImItaO> ubuntugames, sorry
[10:21] <Skiessi> I don't know about that
[10:21] <Kromel> deathblows. okay
[10:21] <Sonarx> I think that will help you out, good luck!
[10:21] <Jinxed> genii, something happened kind of
[10:21] <Jinxed> but I don't think I have KDE
[10:21] <Kromel> deathblooms, sorry. lets try looking in Beryl's Advanced configuration.
[10:21] <blanky> hey guys how can I see how much free space i have from within the terminal?
[10:22] <deathblooms> kk
[10:22] <Sonarx> I'm using 7.04 with an Nvidia 5200, which was working great. Now for some reason image quality has gone down the toilet. Any ideas?
[10:22] <Kromel> deathblooms, advanced beryl options for rendering, and change it from automatic to XGL rendering
[10:22] <genii> jinxed: Is the user tom the first user that was made in ubuntu or the second or more in the names of users that were created? Usually the first user made can do the sudo type operations but users after that cannot.
[10:23] <Jordan09> Hi all, i have a problem with my screen resolution is way to low for my screen. Any ideas?
[10:23] <Le_F0u> ive downloaded phpmyadmin
[10:23] <TiMiDo> Jordan09: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:23] <Le_F0u> but i cant find the config.sample.inc.php :s
[10:23] <Jinxed> genii, there is only one user.. me -> tom
[10:23] <Le_F0u> anyone got dis problem before?
[10:23] <Sonarx> the resoution or color depth Jordan09?
[10:23] <Le_F0u> its the latest version..
[10:23] <Jordan09>  the resolution
[10:24] <Sonarx> Run the command TiMiDo put out there, it should solve your problem nicely.
[10:24] <genii> jinxed: OK. Then we will use a more basic way.Do:  sudo nano /etc/fstab
[10:25] <Krinke> +OK 3Bld.0iuskX/
[10:25] <Sonarx> Might be best to run it with the xserver shutdown so the autodetect has a better chance to work.
[10:25] <Jinxed> ok i did that and it looks really weird now
[10:26] <genii> jinxed: Just highlight with the mouse the text there and copy it. then paste the text to the pastebin website and supply a URL

[10:33] <Sonarx> ubuntu_noob: No hit ctrl+alt+f1 to get you to a terminal.
[10:33] <Kromel> deathblooms, I'll send you an email.
[10:33] <Synthaxx> VonGuard_ > it's best to disable your custom repositories before updating
[10:34] <Music_Shuffle_> File13, reboots fix it always for me when all else fails.  =/
[10:34] <VonGuard_> ok
[10:34] <VonGuard_> thanks
[10:34] <Kromel> deathblooms, I would like for you compile the new nvidia driver later when you have time.
[10:34] <Sonarx> ubuntu_noob: Then you can use apt-get to reinstall gnone. "sudo apt-get install gnome"
[10:34] <Synthaxx> np
[10:34] <File13> Tried rebooting multiple times, nothing
[10:34] <ubuntu_noob> OK
[10:34] <sapuro> File13 dont really know what else to do, usually sound works straight away, or if it doesnt, only thing I gotta do is change between those 2.sorry
[10:34] <Faldrien> I have a vmware virtual machine file on my computer, can i use the vmware-player package to run it?
[10:34] <ubuntu_noob> Problem solved after that?

[10:34] <janeppo_> Kromel, I missed out on the beginnning of you discussion with deathblooms. Recently I struggled a lot with nvidia drivers. So out of curiosity, can you explain what deathblooms problem is?
[10:35] <Krizmo> hello
[10:35] <SirronTM> I'm having issues with the repo's restricted Nvidia driver - I'm using an 8800GTS on Feisty
[10:35] <Krizmo> what the name of that guy: http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dudezk0.jpg ?
[10:35] <ubuntu_noob> OK, I'll try that
[10:35] <ubuntu_noob> I'll let you know.
[10:35] <genii> jinxed: You can reopen the file by again: sudo nano /etc/fstab           then put a # before the line you have now with the sdb1 in it. Then put underneath on its own line: /dev/sdb1     /media/EXTERNAL    ntfs-3g     defaults,locale=en_US.utf8   0    0
[10:35] <sapuro> can someone help me out with the kiba-dock?
[10:35] <ubuntu_noob> Thankyou.
[10:36] <genii> jinxed: then do ctrl-x   to exit and hit Y to save the changes
[10:36] <janeppo_> SirronTM, I have 8800GTS on Feisty. The restricted drivers never worked for me. I did nvidia's install script for 100.11.14 (or 14.11)
[10:37] <Sonarx> Can anyone assist with image quality problems? Images on my Ubuntu system appear as if they are at a lower color depth than the system is set at.
[10:37] <defcon> ok I added more apt repositories from debain.org I found them here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?threadid=379597 and I noticed allot of upgrades, if I add these and install them will I have problems, like incompatibility?
[10:37] <SirronTM> janeppo_: thanks, could you link me to that please?
[10:37] <janeppo_> SirronTM, But first you better remove the lrm package. I kept them, and it is a bit tricky to have both the restricted drivers and the install script driver
[10:38] <SirronTM> janeppo_: can I just do that by de-enabling it in the restricted manager?
[10:38] <janeppo_> SirronTM, nvidia
[10:38] <patm> #ubuntu-mobile
[10:38] <Jinxed> genii ok I think I have it changed
[10:39] <Sonarx> Does anyone know of a channel more targeted at graphics and configurtions?
[10:39] <VonGuard_> thank you Synthaxx
[10:39] <VonGuard_> Synthaxx ++
[10:39] <janeppo_> SirronTM, I'm not sure, but if you want to keep some other restricted driver, than just keep the package.
[10:39] <Sonarx> I can't spell today.
[10:39] <Synthaxx> hehe did it work?
[10:39] <Guest88> hi my ubuntu is suck
[10:40] <VonGuard_> stuck?
[10:40] <s_v_e_1> Hello and Good evening, Its nice to see more and more people on this channel - to see ubuntu spreading -
[10:40] <janeppo_> SirronTM, then basically, you have to prevent them loading (/etc/default/..) and point modprobe in the right direction
[10:40] <SirronTM> janeppo_: So when you say script you just mean the generic thing you can download from nvidia's site?
[10:40] <Guest88> suck like sucking
[10:40] <jrib> defcon: you are likely to end up with a broken system if you use debian repositories on ubuntu
[10:40] <Sonarx> s_v_e_1: Do you know much about graphics configurations?
[10:40] <w30> Sonarx, try #ubuntu-effects
[10:40] <defcon> jrib, thankyou
[10:41] <Skiessi> Guest88: so what sucks?
[10:41] <Sonarx> Guest88: Your gonna have to be a bit more descriptive than that if you want help.
[10:41] <genii> work, AFK
[10:41] <janeppo_> SirronTM, yes, the right script for your architecture, -pkg1 for 32 bits,  pkg2 for 64 bits. Moment please.
[10:42] <ebuth> Anyone familiar with a bug with desktop effects where a window's title bar at the top is missing?
[10:43] <janeppo_> SirronTM,  http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_100.14.11.html
[10:43] <sapuro> can someone help?
[10:43] <sapuro> help
[10:43] <sapuro> lol
[10:43] <TheMasterSwordsm> ...
[10:43] <Guest88> i mean: ubuntu = pimmel kack betriebssystem
[10:43] <TheMasterSwordsm> So I've got Ubuntu running perfectly on a Dual Boot.
[10:43] <janeppo_> SirronTM, or  http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.11.html
[10:44] <TheMasterSwordsm> ...so what is a fun thing to do after you get Ubuntu?
[10:44] <sapuro> TheMasterSwordsm get beryl on it
[10:44] <SirronTM> janeppo_: thanks very much, so you say I need to stop the other driver from loading - that means removing the restricted driver from the repo and preventing nv from loading?
[10:44] <sapuro> TheMasterSwordsm enable desktop effects on it
[10:45] <Dr_Link> ANyway,
[10:45] <Dr_Link> I don't trust Desktop Effects, I like it running full speed.
[10:45] <Dr_Link> Anyway, what is beryl?
[10:45] <Tremitos> I'll think about it
[10:45] <janeppo_> SirronTM, repo? you can't remove it from lib modules, because it is in /volatile
[10:45] <Guest88> PS3 ist Mist, C64 felst! ;)
[10:45] <blanky> Dr_Link: ...haha
[10:45] <dead1ock> ok
[10:45] <blanky> Dr_Link: I suggest you look into compiz fusion instead
[10:46] <Dr_Link> I'm serious.
[10:46] <Dr_Link> What is it?
[10:46] <janeppo_> SirronTM, ru willing to uninstall the package?
[10:46] <drshroud> hello
[10:46] <stuart-> .wmv runs slow and .rm doesn't play. how do i play those two formats in ubuntu?
[10:46] <SirronTM> janeppo_: drivers boggle my mind. I think I should keep nv... as a fall-back you know?
[10:47] <janeppo_> SirronTM, that's easier, but not necessary
[10:47] <sapuro> Dr_Link just because i got desktop effects, doesnt necessarily means that ur system will be really slow :o. I got it enabled in this laptop, and it runs perfectly fast
[10:47] <ConstyXIV> stuart-: get the linux realplayer for rm
[10:47] <Guest88> Ubuntu kannst du meines Wissens komplett (mitsamt der "Coder") in die Tonne kloppen.
[10:47] <sapuro> Dr_Link check this out, for u to see beryl working http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=c1lFYT_cLm8

[10:47] <janeppo_> SirronTM, that's OK, just keep the package.
[10:47] <Jakobsen> Whoops.. I just upgraded my Ubuntu 7.04, and now I only have two desktops running Compiz.. Even though I have 4 in the desktop switcher applet on my panel.
[10:47] <SirronTM> janeppo_: Right, I'll give this a go then, thanks
[10:47] <armyriad> After making a separate home partition, Ubuntu won't load. There is just a eternal black screen after GRUB.
[10:48] <SirronTM> janeppo_: might be back in a few minutes ^^ on windows ^^
[10:48] <siloko> could someone tell me how to start compiz  (compiz-fusion)
[10:48] <janeppo_> SirronTM, ru going to try the nvidia script?
[10:48] <sapuro> blanky is compiz fusion really good?cause I saw some videos, and, I didnt see much difference between it with just beryl
[10:48] <Meyvn> siloko, you have it installed?
[10:48] <SirronTM> janeppo_: yes I am
[10:48] <siloko> Meyvn: yes
[10:48] <stuart-> ConstyXIV, thanks. what about .wmv?
[10:48] <blanky> sapuro: compiz fusion will be the new one, it will replace beryl
[10:48] <therethinker> sapuro:Yes
[10:49] <blanky> sapuro: but for the time being, while it's under development, you might have better luck with beryl
[10:49] <Meyvn> siloko, then press Alt+F2 and run compiz --replace
[10:49] <sapuro> therethinker yes to what?
[10:49] <sapuro> blanky I think the best at the moment is beryl + aiglx
[10:49] <therethinker> sapuro: That compiz-fusion > beryl
[10:49] <blanky> sapuro: ...that's what I said
[10:49] <sapuro> blanky check this video out --> http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=c1lFYT_cLm8
[10:49] <janeppo_> SirronTM, the script probably wants to compile the driver. So it will ask you to install the kernel headers, and then bail out.
[10:50] <blanky> sapuro: videos prove nothing
[10:50] <blanky> sapuro: but whatever, I already told you how it is
[10:50] <ubuntu_noob> Ahh
[10:50] <ubuntu_noob> I still get the same error
[10:50] <sapuro> blanky calm down, dont get upset I'm just saying what I think, that doesnt mean I'm saying ur wrong :o
[10:50] <janeppo_> SirronTM, You can also first install the kernel header package. The generic package will choose the right version for you. Use the package manager.
[10:50] <nitrocks> I'd like to set up a vpn so that I can securely access my home network from work.. what would be the best software to use for this application?.. openvpn?
[10:51] <SirronTM> janeppo_: I've found a bit of a howto on a forum linked via the download page http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 I'll give it a go
[10:51] <ebuth> how do i unmount a drive?
[10:51] <Jordan09> Hey, I just changed some stuff in my xorg file. Changed the screen res and loaded nVidia. However now, the I can't even open the console - it's just a white square.
[10:51] <blanky> sapuro: yeah I'm cool, I'm just saying, beryl right now might seem like it has 'better things' but that's because it's more developed, compiz fusion will replace beryl (You didn't know that?) but it's barely under development, but it will soon be much better than beryl
[10:51] <therethinker> Jordan09:Crtl+alt+F1

[11:01] <MikeRotch> i start a new session like XFCE?
[11:01] <janeppo_> SirronTM, So what you have to do: first go to console: ctrl+alt f1. If X is running, you go back by alt f7.

[11:03] <jr> Can any 1 help me install xml parser?
[11:03] <janeppo_> SirronTM, sorry, some know, some don't. But once you are in concole, are you still chatting? or is it the same platform?

[11:04] <janeppo_> SirronTM, surely when ur in insert mode.
[11:05] <SirronTM> janeppo_: ah hang on, I've got to stop X haven't I, not just get a console
[11:05] <angasule> allorder: are you sure the iso is in iso format? have you checked the md5sum?
[11:05] <janeppo_> SirronTM, try the simple ones first. Go to console, then back. Stop gdm, then restart it.
[11:05] <MattJ> jr, can you paste the error message to pastebin? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[11:05] <jr> yea sure was about to ;p

[11:06] <therethinker> oh
[11:06] <therethinker> who needed to know what distro they were on?

[11:06] <therethinker> whoever it was:

[11:08] <SirronTM> janeppo_: when I try /etc/init.d/gdm stop it doesn't do anything
[11:09] <janeppo_> SirronTM, u try that only in console mode.

[11:09] <Frederick> folks Im having the following error when trying to open orkut Connection to host www.google.com is broken. any ideas?
[11:09] <jr> zero, is it an external net drive?
[11:09] <SirronTM> janeppo_: I was in console mode, should I try killall gdm instead?
[11:10] <tofaffy> I have a dark theme (neutronium gilouche)...I have issues with text being white instead of black on some pages in firefox.
[11:10] <janeppo_> SirronTM, ctrl+alt f1 --- /etc/init.d/gdm stop -----
[11:10] <jr> zero, or a external, usb drive?
[11:10] <zero> jr, its just a regular 320 gig usb external
[11:10] <janeppo_> SirronTM,  NNOOO
[11:10] <jr> zero, ah ok it should be in your places: Usb Hardisk
[11:10] <SirronTM> janeppo_: okok, I won't do THAT
[11:10] <jr> zero, or something relative to that
[11:11] <zero> jr, i need the path because im trying to use a virutal machine creator and i need the virtual box saved there
[11:11] <SirronTM> janeppo_: but /etc/init.d/gdm stop doesn't work - it just acts as if I did nothing
[11:11] <janeppo_> SirronTM, in console mode, you find another console at alt+f2, alt+f3 etc, and X at alt+f7
[11:11] <MattJ> jr, just to check, is there a reason you are building from source?
[11:11] <MikeRotch> yea my external just says disk, but also an icon show on dekstop
[11:11] <zero> jr such as /etc/apt/usb or wahateer
[11:11] <jr> mattj no idea just installing the only way i now how
[11:12] <aguitel> anyone can helpme with my lexmark x1185 ?
[11:12] <jr> zero, hmm 1 sec
[11:12] <janeppo_> SirronTM, but alt+f7 does not bring you an X-session.
[11:12] <MikeRotch> would be /media something
[11:12] <MattJ> jr, there is a .deb here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=81535&package_id=83441
[11:12] <MattJ> jr, if you download that you can double-click it, or install in terminal with sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[11:12] <janeppo_> SirronTM, but in case you have a different manager, you can use /etc/init.d/?dm stop
[11:13] <jr> mattj, i can do that on dapper?
[11:13] <jr> zero, i think i found it one second
[11:13] <MikeRotch> zero mine external usb is called /media/disk
[11:13] <zero> mikerotch, thanks i just found it
[11:13] <MattJ> jr, it doesn't suggest that it is for a particular release in the filename, so likely
[11:13] <janeppo_> SirronTM, nothing seems to happen, but alt+f7 only gives you a sessin if X/?dm is running
[11:14] <jr> MattJ,  kk thnx :)
[11:14] <nitrocks> what is the command to start network manager?
[11:14] <SirronTM> janeppo_: ok, you have to use sudo it seems
[11:14] <tcstech> anyone ever used Plesk on ubuntu?
[11:14] <SirronTM> janeppo_: but it still doesn't work ::(

[11:15] <MikeRotch> !ask

[11:16] <Rexor_Moon> even when I've closed gaim out, I have to right-click on gaim on the menu bar to really quit it

[11:16] <MattJ> Ok
[11:16] <MikeRotch> it does that by default
[11:16] <MikeRotch> haha

[11:17] <jr> MattJ,  it is still giving me the error
[11:17] <MattJ> Yeah
[11:17] <Scunizi> aguitel, openprinting lists it for printing, however it's going to be real tough to get the scanner working.
[11:18] <jr> MattJ,  yes i just installed all libatk1.0-0 components and stuff through synaptic

[11:19] <SirronTM> janeppo_: the script still refuses to work, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop isn't stopping GDM properly - I can still get it by Alt-F7 and the script won't work
[11:20] <Scunizi> aguitel, sane or xsane handle the scanner portion.. check out http://linux.die.net/man/5/sane-lexmark for basic guidance..
[11:20] <janeppo_> SirronTM, sudo /etc/init.d/?gdm stop

[11:20] <Dr_Link> I'll brb
[11:20] <janeppo_> SirronTM, sorry, omit 'g'

[11:20] <SirronTM> janeppo_: ok, I'll try that, thanks
[11:21] <jr> MattJ,  bah i just upgraded yesterday from breezy lol
[11:21] <MattJ> jr, you're a few releases behind :D

[11:22] <lokieee> anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
[11:22] <jr> MattJ,  yeah i know ;p
[11:22] <MattJ> I used xvidcap in Edgy, but not Dapper (and now I'm in Feisty I use recordmydesktop)
[11:22] <rafaelscj> lokieee I think that you need to install manually
[11:23] <janeppo_> SirronTM, and you have to start it again ...
[11:23] <jr> MattJ,  k well ill upgrade to edgy now
[11:23] <SirronTM> janeppo_: no, I don't, it says it's stopped, but it actually doesn't
[11:23] <MattJ> jr, not Feisty? :P
[11:23] <SirronTM> janeppo_: looks like a bug, I'll log out and try another way, I'll be back in a while
[11:23] <janeppo_> SirronTM, can you find out what window manager you use? gdm=gnome, kdm=kde, ...
[11:23] <lokieee> alright thanks rafael
[11:24] <MattJ> jr, if you're concerned about stability, I found Feisty more stable than Edgy (and I heard the same from others)
[11:24] <jr> MattJ,  mabye tommorow, i didnt have much time yesterday
[11:24] <jr> MattJ,  same, iv heard fiesty is the best.. so far lol
[11:24] <MattJ> I agree :)
[11:25] <Happu> just wait for gusty ;)
[11:25] <MattJ> I usually tell everyone I won't upgrade, yet always within hours of the release I'm downloading the ISO :P

[11:27] <jr> MattJ,  hehe i still have microsoft workspace 3.1 :)
[11:27] <janeppo_> SirronTM, "ps -afx" gives you a nice tree of processes. where you can find your x-session and wndow-manager
[11:27] <MattJ> jr, me too, on floppies :D

[11:28] <jr> MattJ,  you have any idea if airsnort will work on edgy?
[11:28] <drayen> randomwalker: yeah a friend in another room suggested sleep and kill
[11:28] <Lazareth> okay... Newb here, what is the command to delete a directory in the terminal? rm does not work for the reason that the target is a directory, and -d doesn't seem to work either
[11:28] <kitche> tschaub: probably because it needs root perms to connet but anyways sudo su is sorta of redunant
[11:29] <drayen> randomwalker: amixer.... is that a CLI to the mixer?
[11:29] <randomwalker> drayen: exactly
[11:29] <randomwalker> drayen: man amixer
[11:29] <sax_> try rm -rf 'dirname'
[11:29] <Lazareth> k
[11:29] <tschaub> kitche: thanks - thought "sudo su postgres -c psql" ran that command as the postgres user - which would be different than "sudo psql"
[11:29] <jr> Lazareth,  want to not be a newb? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=990636 <-- use this
[11:29] <MattJ> jr, it appears to be in the repositories
[11:29] <jr> MattJ,  hm?
[11:30] <drayen> randomwalker: cheers
[11:30] <Lazareth> sax_: thanks, worked
[11:30] <Lazareth> jr: I'll take a lookj
[11:30] <kitche> tschaub: nah it just makes it run as root sudo su - postgres would though
[11:30] <MattJ> jr, you can install it with synaptic
[11:30] <jr> Lazareth,  :) helps me alot
[11:30] <Lazareth> ^
[11:30] <jr> MattJ,  omg yes! finally easier ways to install stuff :)
[11:30] <MattJ> :D
[11:31] <jr> MattJ,  :O its in dappers synap too
[11:31] <MattJ> :D
[11:31] <Albaraha> where can I find the original xchat deb?
[11:32] <kitche> Albaraha: : sudo apt-get install xchat will install xchat
[11:32] <crdlb> !info xchat | Albaraha
[11:32] <ubotu> albaraha: xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.0-0ubuntu4 (feisty), package size 295 kB, installed size 796 kB
[11:32] <kitche> Albaraha: xchat-gnome has nothing to do with xchat
[11:32] <Walker> wow..
[11:32] <khelll> i dont know why php never runs on my apache
[11:33] <khelll> how can i follow the problem
[11:33] <Albaraha> $ apt-cache search xchat
[11:33] <Albaraha> xchat-gnome - a new frontend to the popular X-Chat IRC client
[11:33] <Albaraha> xchat-gnome-common - a new frontend to the popular X-Chat IRC client
[11:33] <kitche> khelll: did you configure apache correctly?
[11:33] <sax_> would apt-get install xchat/feisty install the original feisty deb if another is currently installed?

[11:33] <hvgotcodes> hey walker
[11:33] <Walker> hey
[11:33] <khelll> i dont know i followed something on the net
[11:33] <Happu> sax_: if you installed it with dpkg
[11:33] <hvgotcodes> did you register your nick?
[11:33] <kitche> khelll: see if you have php for loading in your httpd.conf
[11:33] <hvgotcodes> then we can pm
[11:33] <Walker> lol
[11:33] <hvgotcodes> thanx for helping
[11:33] <khelll> and it was working yesterday
[11:34] <khelll> where does that file  exist
[11:34] <Walker> already registered
[11:34] <dead1ock> you tell me ;)
[11:34] <walkerk> there we go
[11:34] <kitche> khelll: /etc/httpd.conf or /etc/apache/httpd.conf depends on your OS

[11:34] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[11:35] <khelll> i found 2 things here
[11:35] <khelll> apache and apache2
[11:35] <khelll> how can i know which one is running now
[11:36] <khelll> am using ubuntu 7.04
[11:36] <kitche> khelll: umm it's hard to tell since both are httpd :) you can do http://localhost and see what the default page says\
[11:36] <ksnipz> hey guys, was wondering I'm looking into vpn solutions for a small office, and have an ubuntu box with samba shares, I was wondering would it be better to setup openvpn (server) on the ubuntu box, or on the router?
[11:36] <sabgenton> can i tile cascade vertialy position windows
[11:36] <sabgenton> out of the box i mean
[11:36] <sabgenton> of do i need a package
[11:36] <sabgenton> or*
[11:36] <kitche> ksnipz: well openvpn on ubuntu actually seems like it's not compiled with SSL
[11:36] <d4rkmonkey> Can someone using ubuntu feisty with all the updates and the command update-manager -d gives them the option to upgrade to gutsy  put their ~/.update-manager-core/meta-release file into something like pastebin and send it to me?
[11:37] <khelll> looks like apache2
[11:37] <|FractO|> Heeey
[11:37] <|FractO|> Hi
[11:37] <sabgenton> i cant find the button to positon windows in gnome
[11:37] <|FractO|> somebody from MEXICO????
[11:37] <kitche> d4rkmonkey: why can't you upgrade to gutsy?
[11:37] <kitche> d4rkmonkey: or aren't you on feisty?
[11:37] <d4rkmonkey> kitche, it just doesn't let me. bug is found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/129392
[11:38] <khelll> ok what should i find in that file
[11:38] <d4rkmonkey> kitche, I'm still on feisty.
[11:38] <ksnipz> kitchie, I would have thought that OpenVPN by nature was ssl since its tag line is - an open source ssl vpn solution
[11:38] <kitche> d4rkmonkey: well it probably won't give you an option anyways since gusty is still in development
[11:39] <d4rkmonkey> kitche, no, its supposed to.
[11:39] <kitche> ksnipz: well I m jsut telling you what a developer I know found out
[11:39] <d4rkmonkey> kitche, I got that command from official instructions on updating to gutsy
[11:39] <d4rkmonkey> kitche, I was talking to someone else earlier today to make sure that the command worked, and it worked for him but not me
[11:39] <kitche> d4rkmonkey: well you got a response for your bugreport they are asking for more information
[11:39] <khelll> anyhow the httpd.conf is empty
[11:40] <d4rkmonkey> kitche, thats not my bug report
[11:40] <ondrej> Hi, is anyone here administering dogfood? I imported my openpgp key, it said I am going to receive an email, but I didn't get it. I tried that 3 times (the page says Keys pending validation...). I think it's some problem with the server again, does anyone know how to fix it please? Thanks a lot
[11:40] <d4rkmonkey> kitche, thats why I'm not posting back, I'm asking here for someone else's file where they know it works
[11:40] <AlienfluX> is there a way to detect wireless networks
[11:40] <AlienfluX> on Ubuntu?
[11:40] <d4rkmonkey> AlienfluX, yes and its fairly easy as long as your wireless card works in Ubuntu
[11:40] <kitche> d4rkmonkey: well you should post so they know other people are experiencing it sicne if they are not it will never be fixed
[11:40] <AlienfluX> yeah
[11:40] <khelll> so what to do?
[11:40] <AlienfluX> i see it
[11:40] <d4rkmonkey> kitche, ok
[11:40] <kitche> khelll: you sure your in the right folder
[11:40] <aricz> Hi, how do I change the name of a directory in console?
[11:41] <kitche> d4rkmonkey: post your meta-release file also so at least they have a point to look at
[11:41] <AlienfluX> I'm just having trouble with it
[11:41] <d4rkmonkey> yeah, I will. thanks kitche
[11:41] <AlienfluX> should it not auto detect?
[11:41] <SirronTM> janeppo_: yey, it worked
[11:41] <khelll> am here /etc/apache2
[11:41] <AlienfluX> what's this roaming mode?
[11:41] <khelll> i dont know if am in the right folder
[11:42] <khelll> how can i know
[11:42] <kitche> d4rkmonkey: since your file might be different the others
[11:42] <kitche> khelll: ls -l httpd.conf and see if it exits or not
[11:42] <d4rkmonkey> kitche, yeah, I'm gonna upload mine
[11:42] <khelll> it's there but it's completely empty
[11:42] <bobgill> How can  I convert .flac to .mp3 ?
[11:43] <khelll> i c a folder called : mods_enabled
[11:43] <khelll> it contains php_mod
[11:43] <kitche> khelll: hmm I m not sure on how ubuntu is setup actually so that might be correct with how they split everything up into smaller files
[11:43] <khelll> ok then
[11:44] <khelll> how to run php???
[11:44] <khelll> the httpd.conf is compleltey empty
[11:44] <SirronTM> janeppo_: thanks for your help ^^
[11:45] <loca|> hey guys, are you telling me that data removed by a "rm -rf" is unrecoverable ?
[11:45] <tarzeau> loca|: depends on the filesystem
[11:46] <loca|> tarzeau, ext3
[11:46] <aricz> loca| : I'm pretty sure you can recover it.. just google it;p
[11:46] <tarzeau> loca|: well in ext2/3 deleted files are unlinked and the space is free to be used by others
[11:46] <AlienfluX> hrmmms
[11:46] <AlienfluX> from my router
[11:46] <AlienfluX> i see that my laptop is connected
[11:46] <tarzeau> in a multiuser system such space can be reused very quickly if there's many writes
[11:46] <pike__> loca|: it think id consider it difficult to recover but not safely deleted to be secure
[11:46] <AlienfluX> but it isn't working properly
[11:46] <loca|> aricz, if am here, it's that i didnt get anything googling 4 that
[11:46] <tarzeau> loca|: you don't have a backup?
[11:46] <tarzeau> aricz: i'm pretty sure he can't
[11:47] <aricz> loca| : then you didn't search good enough.. but let me try help
[11:47] <loca|> aricz, ok
[11:47] <loca|> tarzeau, backup manager didnt work for 1 month
[11:47] <tarzeau> loca|: bad luck for you :)
[11:47] <khelll> what shall i do>
[11:47] <khelll> ?
[11:47] <sabgenton> in gnome
[11:48] <Anlar> loca|: nothing is overwritten, nor it is possible to guarantee that it was with some wipe utility. a professional can restore usually everything
[11:48] <AlienfluX> is there a way to connect to it?
[11:48] <andy298> I got a question
[11:48] <dstadulis> what's the shortcut to address a line to someone? I have forgotten
[11:48] <andy298> I cant seem to get to install TLS
[11:48] <andy298> As I don't know where to download it >.<
[11:48] <kitche> dstadulis: type their name out
[11:48] <khelll> how can i uninstall apache server
[11:48] <Dromar> dstadulis, type their name, and TAB for completion
[11:49] <dstadulis> ah thanks
[11:49] <kitche> khelll: sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 for apache2 and apache for apache 1
[11:49] <Le_F0u> how can i make some commands available only to a group?
[11:50] <angasule>  I have a GF 7600GT, I can't get the framebuffer to work, the closest I got is with "vga=792 video=vesa" which does result in /dev/fb0 but the consoles are garbled, trying without video=vesa doesn't create a /dev/fb0 at all, I've googled to goatse and back and can't find a proper parameter combo
[11:50] <andy298> Anyone know where/how I can install TLS?
[11:50] <aricz> loca| : http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Ext2fs-Undeletion.html
[11:51] <aricz> loca| : just google for 'file recover linux" .. and you'll get heaps of links to various information on the subject. See if you can find anything.. good luck, hoho
[11:51] <loca|> aricz, that's ext2 recovery
[11:51] <loca|> didnt find any ext3 stuff
[11:51] <tarzeau> loca|: it's the same thing
[11:51] <tarzeau> just that ext3 uses a journaling file
[11:51] <RabidSnail> I have a Radeon 7500 pci card that for some reason Feisty didn't autodetect. I tried adding it to the xorg.conf file but it didn't do anything. Suggestions?
[11:51] <Dr_Link> Anyone know of a good c++ compiler that is Ubuntu compatible?
[11:52] <Anlar> RabidSnail: it is so old that it requires the legacy driver?
[11:52] <aricz> loca| : then google for 'file recover linux ext3'
[11:52] <lokieee> eclipse with a c++ plug in
[11:52] <sabgenton> !tile cascade
[11:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tile cascade - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:52] <RabidSnail> No, it's supposed to be supported by radeon.
[11:52] <sabgenton> !tile
[11:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tile - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:52] <Hexi> hmm... anyone able to get a Wisegroup MP-8866 Dual Joypad to work in Feisty?  Seems that it's recognized as I see it in the list when I do "lsusb" and even with jstest, it appears at the top as (HID 0925:8866)... however none of the buttons or sticks seem to generate any response in jstest or in any program for that matter.  Anyone have an idea?
[11:52] <sabgenton> !cascade
[11:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cascade - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:52] <lokieee> I mainly use eclipse for java programming but i heard it also had a C++ plug in, and the ide is awesome
[11:53] <Anlar> loca|: ext3 is alike ext2, but the journaling makes it impossible to guarantee that it is being stored at the same spot on the disc, meaning that shredding (overwriting) the contents is not reliable
[11:53] <victor__> Hello
[11:53] <dstadulis> hi
[11:53] <victor__> I have a small problem
[11:53] <ubuntu_noob> D: !
[11:53] <victor__> Whenever i add gnome terminal
[11:53] <lokieee> e_e
[11:53] <ubuntu_noob> Two installs of ubuntu ran fine.
[11:53] <ubuntu_noob> I had to reinstalled for whatever reason.
[11:53] <victor__> to my autostart, the login gets really really slow
[11:54] <ubuntu_noob> It doesn't run properly now.
[11:54] <ubuntu_noob> I reinstalled again, and the same problem. ...
[11:54] <victor__> It takes loads of time for all the programs to start, any ideas?
[11:54] <MarkSchmidt> hi there, fellow ubuntians :)
[11:54] <victor__> Feisty Fawn is my dist btw
[11:54] <andy298> Anyone know how I can install TLS?
[11:54] <ubuntu_noob> I give up with Linux for now.
[11:54] <lokieee> anyone know how I cain find out what graphics card driver and other info i have installed?  i'm running a nvidia 6800 gt
[11:54] <jr> :/
[11:54] <neverblue> ubuntu_noob, you will be back :)
[11:54] <ubuntu_noob> I will.
[11:55] <Dromar> ubuntu_noob, neverblue is right
[11:55] <andy298> meh xD
[11:55] <neverblue> it took me 3-4 years, and 5-6 attempts
[11:55] <Hexi> ubuntu_noob, Dromar is right about neverblue being right
[11:55] <Dr_Link> How do I set what happens when I close the laptop lid?
[11:55] <cas3> lokieee: try lsmod
[11:55] <neverblue> but that was before ubuntu :)
[11:55] <ubuntu_noob> In, a few months when I get a new PC it will be my primary OS
[11:55] <jr> lol :P took me a few months lol
[11:55] <ubuntu_noob> But for now XP will /have/ to do. :|
[11:55] <jr> im still working
[11:55] <jr> :/
[11:55] <neverblue> Hexi, Dromar are both right about each other being right and about me being right :)
[11:56] <Hexi> neverblue, haha =)
[11:56] <neverblue> lol
[11:56] <Dromar> :p
[11:56] <lokieee> cas3, I see alot of stuff but I don't see graphic info
[11:56] <ubuntu_noob> My first experiences were good with Ubuntu aswell, I want to carry on use.
[11:56] <Dr_Link> Hello?
[11:56] <Dr_Link> How do I set what happens when I close the laptop lid?
[11:56] <ubuntu_noob> See you in a few months.
[11:56] <cas3> lokieee: should either be nv or nvidia
[11:56] <Hexi> that reminds me of the city meeting scene from blazing saddles
[11:56] <jr> lol
[11:56] <jr> hello there partner
[11:57] <MarkSchmidt> just a quick question - and I hope it really is quick... *G*
[11:57] <cas3> lokieee: or try glxinfo | grep direct
[11:57] <janeppo_> SirronTM, ur welcome
[11:57] <lokieee> cas3 it says direct rending: Yes
[11:57] <sax_> Dr_Link, open power management preferences. You can choose what happens when you close the lid on ac power and on battery power separately.
[11:57] <lokieee> *rendering
[11:58] <Le_F0u> im writing a script
[11:58] <MarkSchmidt> i managed to get compiz working with frlgx and xgl - but now my two-desktop-setting from gnome is gone... i can move the mouse to my second monitor, but I have no second desktop there.... any ideas?
[11:58] <foug> what a good program for mounting virtual drives?
[11:58] <Le_F0u> i need an identifier for the actual user
[11:58] <Le_F0u> What?? is it?
[11:58] <Le_F0u> what is it?
[11:58] <cas3> lokiee: then it should be working, if you just type glxinfo it will show you a lot of info about your card
[11:58] <lokieee> ahh i see, it says    glx version 1.4, cool thanks cas3
[11:58] <bagualas> how do I set that I want to record from the mic of soundcard 1 ? I have two sound cards
[11:58] <bense> how do i increase the number of workspaces on gnome 2.19.5?
[11:58] <Dr_Link> thanks, sax_
[11:59] <janeppo_> SirronTM, btw, when I checked, and tried to go back with alt-f7, my display just froze. It should have given me back my session just where I was when I left.
[11:59] <lokieee> ls
[11:59] <wastedfluid> hi guys.  sudo doesn't work at all.. just did a fresh imaging from OPENVZ.  It just doesn't respond at all;  sudo fdisk -l returns nothing.. it just doesn't do anything.  nay ideas?
[11:59] <malocite> ahh, I can't connect to my work citrix server
[11:59] <andy298> How do I restart the X server?
[11:59] <SirronTM> janeppo_: it seems buggy to me, I had to keep restarting and it was really messy.
[11:59] <Dr_Link> OK, time to test something
[11:59] <malocite> ahh, I can't connect to my work citrix server - it keeps saying you have not chosen to trust .....
[11:59] <janeppo_> SirronTM, teaches me to always expect the unexpected. So I just restarted X
[12:00] <pike__> wastedfluid: type 'groups' does admin show up?
[12:00] <Lazareth> I have a dysfunctional cddrive on my laptop that I want to completely remove from ubuntu - I've tried umount (which didn't work), commenting it out of fstab and removed the point it is mounted at, any more ideas?
[12:00] <wastedfluid> pike_; "admin" is my "user" i added from root.  "groups" shows "admin"
[12:00] <andy298> Anyone who is able to help? :/
[12:00] <janeppo_> SirronTM, but WHAT is buggy? I guess the nvidia driver. It is the first public version that supports 8800gts, afaik
[12:01] <SirronTM> janeppo_: oops! I kind of should have been comforting a friend who just got dumped :P... guess that teaches me to keep my phone charged
[12:01] <Lazareth> andy: crtl-shift-backspace I think
[12:01] <wastedfluid> andy298; ; type ctrl+shift+backspace
