[12:01] <sacater> Yaro: go ahead
[12:01] <desertc> Yaro: Ask away.
[12:01] <ShackJack> !ask | Yaro
[12:01] <ubotu> Yaro: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:01] <Ademan> malocite: bittorrent? what about ktorrent or deluge, or any of the other (better) torrent clients out there?
[12:01] <howlingmadhowie> roger_padactor: you've gotta have root rights to change things in /var/www
[12:01] <sauvin> I've never seen that error in my entire life. It could be your BIOS' way of saying your hard drive has no MBR.
[12:01] <Yaro> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518297
[12:01] <Yaro> here I posted on a forum
[12:01] <malocite> ademan: I like to be difficult :)  I've been trying to find a decent client for over a week
[12:02] <uguralbayram> How can i fix it sauvin
[12:02] <ShackJack> roger_padactor: or changes ownership so regular users can... see man chown
[12:02] <sauvin> What other operating systems do you have on your computer, and in what order did you install them?
[12:02] <desertc> malocite: The version of Bit torrent that comes default with Ubuntu works just fine.
[12:02] <uguralbayram> i just have ubuntu installed at the moment
[12:02] <Ademan> malocite: haha, so you've tried those? because i swear by KTorrent, and i hear deluge is good too
[12:02] <malocite> ademan: Azureus made my torrents go EXTREMELY slow, would only make 4 connections, and I never got more than 20k per second, and I had no problems on the same machine under windows
[12:03] <Yaro> so any one can tell me
[12:03] <sauvin> I think grub should fix this problem, no?
[12:03] <sacater> Yaro: im afraid thats not easy to answer
[12:03] <desertc> Yaro: none of those cards have open source drivers - this is too hard to answer
[12:03] <sacater> Yaro: ATI themselves are often a little bit of a nusience
[12:03] <roger_padactor> i made root rghts but when i wanted to switch users to root in descktop mode it said root cannot login from here... do i have to do it in the terminal?
[12:03] <Yaro> ok witch PCI Expreess x16 does
[12:03] <sauvin> sacater: "a little bit"?
[12:03] <malocite> i have tried the one that comes in ubuntu, and wasn't impressed by its lack of features, azureus crashed all the time, qbittorrent was slow as hell and wouldn't help me figure out why :)
[12:03] <uguralbayram> I dont know enough about grub
[12:03] <sacater> Yaro: i personally would recommend getting an nvidia car
[12:03] <Gimm1eDat> yea, i understand I will see the shares off of the windows network, but ultimatley.. im going to have this box host a bunch of video files.. so I want it to be seen by my windows boxes
[12:03] <sacater> card*
[12:03] <Ademan> malocite: KTorrent works much the same as azureus as far as i can tell, and it's fast, i say try it before screwing with this stuff
[12:03] <ShackJack> Yaro: Be patient and someone may answer you on the forum :)
[12:03] <desertc> malocite: what is wrong with the default?
[12:04] <sauvin> Anybody: do grub utilities fix mbr problems on hard drives?
[12:04] <sacater> sauvin: maybe
[12:04] <sacater> not sure
[12:04] <howlingmadhowie> roger_padactor: may be easier. you only have to do it once. make a directory in /var/www where you want to put your own websites (i tend to make one directory for each site i develop) and then chown the directory to your main user.
[12:04] <ShackJack> Yaro: Is you want to save a lotta bucks a t series card will run Beryl quite nicely --- though you actually really want to run Compiz Fusion
[12:04] <sacater> i think they can with a few commands though
[12:04] <malocite> desertc: I don't remember, I think I didn't like the interface, but its been so long since I was at that state I cant remember
[12:04] <ShackJack> Yaro: * 7 Series Nvidia
[12:05] <desertc> malocite: Ubuntu is better off when you leave the defaults in place.
[12:05] <Ademan> are there any dangers to using the amd64 version over the i386 version?  like i remmeber hearing that amd64 was buggy as all heck, (plus would the binary drivers for ati work there?)
[12:05] <ShackJack> Yaro: Also, you can get Beryl running with that card, I think you need fglrx driver and you need to run it on XGL
[12:05] <desertc> Ademan: It is not buggy.
[12:05] <howlingmadhowie> malocite: do you have a 64 bit system?
[12:05] <exyan> Ademan: not worth using 32bit ubuntu, I'd go gentoo if I wanted 64
[12:05] <Yaro> with my card?
[12:05] <malocite> howlingmadhowie: No, that'd be nice :)
[12:05] <Yaro> for real
[12:05] <exyan> Ademan: I mean 64bit ubuntu
[12:05] <ShackJack> Yaro: Yep :)
[12:06] <ShackJack> Yaro: ATI's are a pain, but you can get them to work :)
[12:06] <sauvin> I've not had the courage to try 64bit ubuntu on my AMD Turion :\
[12:06] <uguralbayram> sacater  what are those a few commands :)
[12:06] <exyan> sauvin: I had, but I didn't use it long
[12:06] <sacater> hmm
[12:06] <howlingmadhowie> malocite: oh, interesting. azureus was very badly behaved on my 64-bit system, but on the intel 32bit it works fine (maybe it's just even worse on the 64 bit system)
[12:06] <thechris> anymore, i'd just stay away from gentoo until someone sorts through it or fixes portage
[12:06] <sauvin> exyan, why?
[12:06] <sacater> open a grub terminal
[12:06] <akan01n> how do i set an interface default? i have eth0 (wired) and eth1 (wifi), ubuntu is first looking for eth0, but i have no wire connected, and ubuntu does change it to eth1, only if i turn eth0 off
[12:06] <desertc> sauvin: AMD64 is so nice
[12:06] <sacater> and then type 'grub'
[12:06] <exyan> sauvin: lot's of crap, like I couldn't even get skype Oo
[12:06] <sacater> which should bring up a grub console
[12:07] <uguralbayram> done
[12:07] <sacater> then its somnething like setup(hd0,0)
[12:07] <desertc> sauvin: Ubuntu did a great job with the AMD64 distro
[12:07] <ShackJack> Yaro: Did you open the restricted drivers manager yet ? Under Admin?
[12:07] <sauvin> This is my fear. My video card is apparently tough enough to support in 32 bit.
[12:07] <uguralbayram> invalid device requested
[12:07] <sacater> uguralbayram: let me find a link for you
[12:07] <malocite> howlingmadhowie: Azureus wouldn't connect to more than 4 peers, crashed everytime I tried to exit, and would frequently kill all my torrents and just hang, never getting more than 20 k per second, and bvefore I could do just fine like 100 or 200 in windows under utorrent
[12:07] <janeppo> sauvin, what if grub is installed on a partition, and that partition's boot flag is not set?
[12:07] <uguralbayram> okey sacater
[12:07] <Yaro> no
[12:07] <Yaro> how do I do this
[12:08] <ShackJack> !prefix | Yaro
[12:08] <ubotu> Yaro: If you prefix your lines with the nickname of the person you're talking to, you have a greater chance that that person reads your messages
[12:08] <Nutubuntu> desertc are you on 64bit then ?
[12:08] <Yaro> oh no I did
[12:08] <Yaro> I enebled the driver
[12:08] <desertc> Nutubuntu: Yeah!
[12:08] <sauvin> Damnit, janeppo, you're right. A BOOT FLAG HAS TO BE SET.
[12:08] <sacater> uguralbayram: this may help a little
[12:08] <sacater> uguralbayram: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[12:08] <ShackJack> Yaro: Go to Admin Menu (under System) and open Restricted Drivers Manager - it may give you option to install ATI driver...
[12:08] <Yaro> ok got it
[12:08] <sacater> flick through tha
[12:08] <sauvin> I forgot all about that. man, it's been FOREVER since I've done a manual DOS FDISK.
[12:08] <sacater> that*
[12:08] <uguralbayram> thanks
[12:08] <malocite> ademan: I am running ktorrent now, we'll see how she behaves :)
[12:08] <desertc> Nutubuntu: Since 2k3 when I was running Fedora.
[12:08] <howlingmadhowie> malocite: and it probably ate small animals and insulted old people on the street... i know software like that :) the versions for download on the official site are a lot better, i found
[12:08] <Yaro> ShackJack I did it
[12:08] <Ademan> malocite: hehe good luck
[12:08] <ShackJack> Yaro: It had the driver there?
[12:09] <Yaro> ShackJack I do use that driver at this time
[12:09] <DrIdiot> hi, i have an ubuntu computer trying to connect to a gentoo computer via home network.  however, the gentoo computer has some files taht  you need to log in to view.  what should i put down for "domain"?  also, is there another way to access the linux computer other than through a windows network (smb)?  thanks
[12:09] <malocite> howlingmadhowie: It punched me in my balls when I went to the kitchen for vodka
[12:09] <Yaro> ShackJack: yes it did
[12:09] <Yaro> ShackJack: do you have ICQ ?
[12:09] <PriceChild> !offtopic | malocite howlingmadhowie
[12:09] <ubotu> malocite howlingmadhowie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:09] <malocite> howlingmadhowie: Also took four hours to do a hash check on 8 gigs
[12:09] <ShackJack> Yaro: do me a favor - open a terminal and type: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i driver  -- does one of them say fglrx?
[12:09] <sauvin> Hrm... still... seems to me when I was boneheaded enough to forget to set a boot flag under DOS, BIOS would still bitch about a bad or missing operating system...
[12:09] <howlingmadhowie> malocite: nasty. mine phoned up my mother and told her i was gay.
[12:09] <desertc> By the way, use this tip when setting up GNOME's default bit torrent client: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-179933.html
[12:10] <ShackJack> Yaro: (or cut n' paste it ;))
[12:10] <sacater> uguralbayram: when you need me again just type "sacater: #whatyouwanttosay"
[12:10] <ribando> hi everyone
[12:10] <roger_padactor> howlingmadhowie:  can you point me to a good website that says how to do it..
[12:10] <ribando> sacater how r u doing
[12:10] <Nutubuntu> desertc, when I moved to my new (AMD64) box, I stayed with 32bit Ubuntu through caution and inexperience ... what advantages are you seeing in 64bit?
[12:10] <howlingmadhowie> roger_padactor: okay, here's what you do. do you know how to open a terminal?
[12:10] <desertc> ribando: What is your question?
[12:10] <Yaro> ShackJack: do you have AIM or ICQ? becouse here is to many massages
[12:10] <sacater> ribando: meh im k
[12:10] <sacater> ribando: you?
[12:10] <ShackJack> Yaro: Just address me and it'll be fine :)
[12:11] <howlingmadhowie> PriceChild: just playing :)
[12:11] <roger_padactor> yep i know basic linux commands and such
[12:11] <ribando> sacater I'm doing great, even though got a few problem in my feisty...lol
[12:11] <sacater> ribando: such as? ill try and help
[12:11] <howlingmadhowie> roger_padactor: okay. open a terminal and enter: sudo mkdir /var/www/mypage
[12:11] <Yaro> ShackJack: yes it does the last one
[12:11] <sauvin> I've had a few problems with feisty, too. The folks in this channel killed them.
[12:11] <desertc> Nutubuntu: Primarily being able to say I am running a 64-bit OS.  ;)  But, also, the memory and CPU use seems very minimal.  I run the Beryl cube and games at the same time, and my computer is 3 years old.
[12:11] <howlingmadhowie> roger_padactor: then enter your password
[12:11] <Yaro> ShackJack: Driver  "fglrx"
[12:12] <roger_padactor> done
[12:12] <r-wolf> got a diskless box, want it run under Ubuntu; can I organize network boot from windows machine?
[12:12] <howlingmadhowie> roger_padactor: then enter this: sudo chown <your user name> /var/www/mypage
[12:12] <ShackJack> Yaro: Sweet... now you have to basically startup with XGL and you'll be able to run the built in Compiz, or Compiz Fusion, or if you must... Beryl...  See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl  to get you started. For further help, you should go to #ubuntu-effects or #beryl :)
[12:12] <howlingmadhowie> roger_padactor: so in my case i'd write: sudo chown howie /var/www/mypage
[12:12] <desertc> Nutubuntu: All the Ubuntu packages are written for AMD64, too, so if you stick with the Canonical supported, then your AMD64-version will be fine.  Admittedly, the proprietary software has not caught up to the open source options.
[12:13] <howlingmadhowie> !pastebin
[12:13] <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)
[12:13] <sauvin> desertc, precisely. Folks with badly supported video cards may have a very different story to tell.
[12:13] <roger_padactor> done
[12:13] <Nutubuntu> t/y desertc - I don't want to risk goobering up this box (through my own inexperience) by switching; it's my only one right now ... but the idea keeps coming back to me :)
[12:14] <desertc> sauvin: I wasn't talking about the video driver - or any other driver.
[12:14] <howlingmadhowie> roger_padactor: then take this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32695/ and save it in /var/www/mypage as index.html
[12:14] <sauvin> I can't see that using a 64bit OS is all that strong an advantage until RAM commonly starts exceeding two gigs.
[12:14] <ShackJack> Yaro: You got that?
[12:14] <cantor9> does anyone here have mysql running on UBUNTU?
[12:15] <desertc> !lamp |cantor9
[12:15] <ubotu> cantor9: 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+)
[12:15] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: me :)
[12:15] <sauvin> Cantor: what's the problem?
[12:15] <Yaro> ShackJack: I'm doing the steps you told me
[12:15] <Yaro> ShackJack: how can I found out witch driver does my crd use?
[12:15] <cantor9> hi sauvin, I toasted debian-sys-maint user in mysql
[12:15] <cantor9> actually deleted it
[12:16] <ShackJack> Yaro: You are using the fglrx driver :)   check out fglrxinfo in a terminal
[12:16] <cantor9> I was trying to figure out what db it was incharge of and what rights it had
[12:16] <sauvin> A question like that might be better directed in #mysql.
[12:17] <ShackJack> Yaro: P.S. I'd option for Method "A" on that page ;)
[12:17] <cantor9> that sauvin, will do
[12:17] <Huh1> how do I install a usb card reader for ubuntu?
[12:17] <Yaro> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[12:17] <Yaro> OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
[12:17] <desertc> Huh1: mine just automatically mounts when I plug it in
[12:17] <Yaro> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[12:17] <Huh1> mine doesnt
[12:18] <Yaro> OpenGL version string: 1.4 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.2)
[12:18] <Huh1> I thought it would, but well it doesnt
[12:18] <roger_padactor> done
[12:18] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: that sounds not particularly good. as far as i know, mysql likes using db: mysql/user even in the mysqladmin command
[12:18] <Yaro> ShackJack: no ATI driver
[12:18] <Yaro> ;(
[12:18] <sauvin> Mesa... :\ That means you probably don't have direct rendering.
[12:18] <ribando> desertc sacater sorry for taking too long, my problem is that when I'm watching a dvd using xine multimedia player and I try to move the window, or rotate the cube, the image in the video disapears and it turns blue, but it gets back to normal when I stop moving, but when I'm watching a video for example from launch, or youtube, everything is fine, even if I'm moving.
[12:18] <roger_padactor> thanks alot!
[12:18] <roger_padactor> peace
[12:18] <desertc> Huh1: non standard driver - you'll have to research the model and type on the 'Net
[12:18] <Nutubuntu> Huh1, this is probably a dim question, but is there media in the reader? I think you'll need to have a card in the reader for it to be seen
[12:18] <howlingmadhowie> roger_padactor: and then direct your webbrowser to localhost/mypage/index.html (or localhost/mypage should also be enough)
[12:19] <desertc> ribando: Copy protected DVD?
[12:19] <sauvin> Yaro, what is your graphics card?
[12:19] <Huh1> yeah there is media in it
[12:19] <ShackJack> Yaro: sauvin: Yeah, but doesn't it just say that until you run XGL --- he is running the fglrx driver in his xorg.conf ...
[12:19] <ShackJack> sauvin: It's an ATI X300
[12:19] <ribando> desertc I think so...original dvd
[12:19] <sauvin> My X200 had a similar problem... how did I fix that...?
[12:19] <ShackJack> Yaro: Like I said, you'll want #ubuntu-effects and/or #compiz-fusion or #beryl for better assitance...
[12:20] <astro76> ribando, that's not a problem, the program uses something called "video overlay" to display the video, you would also see a blue screen if you tried to take a screenshot
[12:20] <desertc> ribando: I am sorry, my friend, but my government has laws preventing me from discussing the circumvention of hardware DRM protections, including the CSS encryptions of DVDs.
[12:20] <jamili> "Install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record?"
[12:20] <jamili> yes or no?
[12:20] <ShackJack> sauvin: Yeah, it sounds vaguely familiar --  I love ati :)
[12:20] <jamili> brb nose bleeding lol
[12:20] <Nutubuntu> o_O
[12:20] <s0crates> ShackJack: you use ati with aiglx?
[12:20] <sauvin> ShackJack, this machine is a laptop. When I build my next computer, guess what card I am NOT going to be using...?
[12:20] <ShackJack> s0crates: No - XGL
[12:21] <ShackJack> sauvin: Hmmmm. lesseee...
[12:21] <s0crates> ShackJack: really.. and it works well? I have a ati200m and I HATE ati with linux
[12:21] <zaarkan> hi
[12:21] <s0crates> just doesn't work, been trying for a long time to get it to work.. so you use fglrx?
[12:21] <jamili> anyone? yes i guess
[12:21] <sauvin> ShackJack was very likely being, um, sarcastic.
[12:21] <ribando> desertc lol...I didnt really understand what u just said.lol
[12:21] <sauvin> jamili, yes.
[12:22] <roguetrick> cheers folks, time for my umpteenth try to install ubuntu on my xps 600
[12:22] <ribando> astro76 do you know how do I sort out that problem?
[12:22] <ShackJack> s0crates: I have XGL with ATI X1400 (a decent card) in notebook... and yes, fglrx... Compiz Fusion works good though rain plugin causes blinky freak out (though it worked before)
[12:22] <desertc> ribando: I cannot help you, sorry.  Maybe someone else can give you a hand.
[12:22] <astro76> ribando, as I said, it's not a problem
[12:22] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: so debian-sys-maint is suppose to manage db: mysql? not information_schema?
[12:22] <jamili> running grub-install
[12:22] <roguetrick> wish me luck
[12:22] <desertc> roguetrick: Luck if for rabbits, but good luck anyway.
[12:22] <ribando> desertc no problem...no stress ;)
[12:22] <ShackJack> good luck roguetrick
[12:22] <jamili> we'll see if it boots this time lol..
[12:23] <ribando> astro76 shouldnt I be able to move around, and still be able to watch the video?
[12:23] <s0crates> ShackJack: well cheers then, I'm going to try switching to XGL and let's see if it works. I'll sit with patience later. Thanks for the info, I at least wanted to know SOMEONE was successful
[12:23] <astro76> ribando, when you stop moving it ;)
[12:23] <sauvin> man, first time or two I tried to install Fedora Core on this laptop, I almost chucked it out the window.
[12:23] <h8crime> how do i get shells on the consoles at ctl-alt-f*
[12:23] <jamili> YEY, though: GRUB loading, please wait... Error 21
[12:23] <jamili> !grub
[12:23] <roguetrick> its been installing pretty good, I wrote the ISO at around 4x as before it would hang at 6% of installing programs and packages.  After I did that it worked, now I just booted into it and the update manager wouldn't load.
[12:23] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[12:23] <Pelo> h8crime,  f7
[12:23] <Pelo> h8crime,  alt+f7
[12:23] <roguetrick> h8crime, are you the same guy I saw on ED's IRC?
[12:24] <desertc> sauvin: There is a big difference between this distro and fedora!
[12:24] <ribando> astro76 ahahaha...that's a great solution :o... :D
[12:24] <bruenig> desertc, not really
[12:24] <Huh1> desertc:  is it bad if the device isnt even detected when I do lsusb in the terminal?
[12:24] <Pelo> maaybe not
[12:24] <JimboDeLimbo> okay - using gparted livecd to delete vista partition - do I need to reformat the partition? When do I resize the ubuntu partition?
[12:24] <sauvin> desertc, yes, there is, but not to somebody who doesn't know ubuntu from fedora core from CP/M.
[12:24] <Zenji> Er
[12:24] <h8crime> pelo: not working for me
[12:24] <ribando> astro76 by the way, do u know what do I have to do to be able to watch DIVX for example, at stage6.com ?...I got mplayer installed but it still wont let me
[12:24] <h8crime> roguetrick: yes
[12:24] <desertc> Huh1: No -- because that would only show it if the driver installed it
[12:24] <jamili> "GRUB loading, please wait... Error 21" >_> what next? hdd broke
[12:24] <roguetrick> h8crime, lolz
[12:25] <Huh1> ok
[12:25] <Pelo> h8crime,  ctrl alt f8  to get to console , crtl alt f7 to come back
[12:25] <bruenig> who idiot at grub thought it was a good idea to give errors numbers
[12:25] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: well, if you have any user in mysql/user with lots of rights enabled, it doesn't really matter. i supposed i just thought that mysql manages rights internally for everything. but i can't remember ever having tried it out, so my memory may be playing tricks on me
[12:25] <sauvin> JimboDeLimbo, yes, you will. Linux doesn't run on NTFS, as far as I know.
[12:25] <astro76> ribando, yeah click the save button, not stream
[12:25] <h8crime> pelo: it gets me to a console, but no shell!
[12:25] <astro76> ribando, also FYI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_overlay
[12:25] <h8crime> i can't type anything
[12:25] <casperzshado> what button is the <super> button?
[12:25] <jamili> anyone? :O
[12:25] <desertc> sauvin: :-)  I suppose, like Fedora, CPM could not get onto the network without major work, either.
[12:25] <Nutubuntu> jamili, I believe Error 21 means that grub can't find /boot ... wait one ...
[12:25] <Pelo> h8crime,  that's the best I can do for you,  sorry
[12:25] <ShackJack> h8crime: CTRL ALT f1
[12:26] <desertc> casperzshado: most likely the windows key
[12:26] <Huh1> desertc:  is there a driver database for ubuntu?
[12:26] <sauvin> Actually, once I got Fedora to install, the crazy thing took to the nets like thirsty fish to water.
[12:26] <h8crime> shackjack: yes i press that, i get a console but i can't type anything
[12:26] <Pelo> bruenig,  do you weant the grub manual to know what the errors are ?
[12:26] <h8crime> shackjack: there is no shell
[12:26] <jamili> 21 : "Unknown boot failure"
[12:26] <casperzshado> desertc, thank you
[12:26] <jamili> :\
[12:26] <desertc> Huh1: not ... in so many words
[12:26] <jamili> any help`?
[12:26] <ShackJack> h8crime: yeah, you should be able to -- or ctrl-alt-esc...
[12:26] <sauvin> Jamili, is this ubuntu install fresh? You don't have anything on it of value?
[12:26] <h8crime> im running the gutsy gayward or whatever
[12:26] <bruenig> Pelo, how about a "Grub Error #: "explanation of what that is"" instead of simply giving an error number, would that be hard
[12:26] <jamili> sauvin fresh as it can be
[12:27] <desertc> h8crime: horray!  you made it to my ignore list!
[12:27] <jamili> though, it's ubuntustudio
[12:27] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: what users do you have in /mysql/user? and what sorts of rights do they have?
[12:27] <Pelo> bruenig, I'm not in the mood,  do you want the link to the manual ?
[12:27] <sauvin> Maybe a reinstall is indicated :\
[12:27] <roguetrick> h8crime, thin skin boss
[12:27] <ribando> astro76 oki doki, thanks man
[12:27] <jamili> think i'm gonna download ordinary 7.04
[12:27] <ShackJack> h8crim
[12:27] <Huh1> desertc: like is there a database on the ubuntu website, where I can look for drivers for different hardwares for ubuntu? i remember there was something like that when  I was trying to install my wireless stuff...but I cant find it right now
[12:27] <bruenig> Pelo, no I'm good
[12:27] <freebird> hello all
[12:27] <Pelo> jamili,   21 : Selected disk does not exist
[12:27] <Nutubuntu> jamili, are you by any chance running a RAID
[12:27] <Pelo>     This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full file name refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or not recognized by the BIOS in the system.
 looking
[12:27] <sauvin> jamili, which ubuntu were you trying to install?
[12:27] <jamili> ubuntustudio
[12:28] <ShackJack> h8crime: If you're running gutsy, you should be chatting in #ubuntu+1
[12:28] <desertc> Huh1: not really
[12:28] <jamili> pelo ok, matters that i installed it on sata hd?
[12:28] <desertc> Huh1: The good drivers are in the kernel already - then there are some ... other ones
[12:28] <ShackJack> jamili: P.S. THey have their own channel #ubuntustudio just in case it's a known issue...
[12:29] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: I have 4 users that I have added for web apps and a root user
[12:29] <jamili> i know but no one is really active there
[12:29] <Pelo> jamili,  shouldn'T I have ubuntu on a sata hdd,and I have no problem  that was just the manuel entry for error 21 , copied from the online one
[12:29] <sauvin> and if it's not a known issue, it might be good to MAKE it known...
[12:29] <casperzshado> is there anywhere to see what shortcut keys arent taken up yet on beryl?
[12:29] <jamili> i've been asking there along this day
[12:29] <Pelo> jamili,  there you go http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Stage2-errors
[12:29] <desertc> Huh1: Next time check for Linux compatibility when you buy hardware.  Live free or die: there are worse fates than death.
[12:29] <replman> Hi! I would like to use my webcam (Hercules Dualpix HP) with (k)ubuntu but i don't know how. With googleing i can only find french sites :-(
[12:29] <ShackJack> casperzshado: try the #beryl channel...
[12:29] <freebird> after 10yrs of redhat/fedora I moved to ubuntu today...looking good
[12:29] <sauvin> And you don't like French sites because....?
[12:30] <desertc> !webcam |replman
[12:30] <ubotu> replman: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[12:30] <replman> because i don't speek french ;-)
[12:30] <sauvin> You don't have to SPEAK it, you just have to READ it!
[12:30] <Pelo> replman,  did you try the forum ?  ( btw the sites are in french because the gui who made the driver was french , took him 4 years)
[12:30] <ShackJack> freebird: I think you'll like the package management... ;)
[12:30] <desertc> This ONE French dude developed almost ALL the drivers for Linux webcams.  It's really an amazing story!!
[12:30] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: on my system, root has more rights than debian-sys-maint, so you can probably recreate debian-sys-maint using the root account
[12:30] <sauvin> Pelo: mec -> guy, mec !-> "gui".
[12:31] <replman> Wow, good to know
[12:31] <jamili> so i guess i'll go to bios
[12:31] <opop> yeah, v4l is pretty slicdk
[12:31] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: I for mysql, at the moment, only root.....
[12:31] <roguetrick> desertc, is that the guy who got in a fit with linus?
[12:31] <opop> slick
[12:31] <Pelo> sauvin,  typo sorry
[12:31] <ribando> how do I check if I got 3d acceleration?
[12:31] <pboyce> hey quick question whats the command to be able to write to a drive when u mount it?
[12:31] <opop> ribando, glxinfo
[12:31] <sauvin> ribando: xglinfo | grep direct
[12:31] <replman> I'm browsing the webcam-docu-link for ubuntu. Thank you for the link!
[12:31] <jamili> it's weird that it can't find the hdd
[12:31] <sauvin> (or was that glxinfo?)
[12:31] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: i didn't understand
[12:31] <opop> sauvin, glxinfo
[12:31] <freebird> ShackJack: I swichted because yum was giving me major headaches, I like what I see so far!
[12:31] <Pelo> replman, I think if you look at the top and bottom of the pages there are translations in english
[12:31] <desertc> This Periesian programmed literally 100s of drivers for all different webcams.  We literally owe almost all Linux webcam functionality to this one guy and his hobby.
[12:31] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: SOrry, I can recreate it. I and I need to give it full access to a db, but which one?
[12:32] <opop> pboyce, what kind of partition?
[12:32] <malocite> If I have a log file being generated how can I have it tell me everytime it is updated with something and tell me what it was updated with?
[12:32] <ribando> opop sauvin thanks
[12:32] <opop> np
[12:32] <pboyce> opop: fat32
[12:32] <malocite> (did that make sense?)
[12:32] <Huh1> desertc: thanks for the advice (and your help), but actually I had this thing long before I had ubuntu... and I could simply boot windows or load the pictures of the camera to solve the problem...but well, I want to get that thing working :D
[12:32] <roguetrick> desertc, I think I read that on digg or somesuch
[12:32] <Pelo> malocite, made sence not sure it is possible
[12:32] <replman> Pelo: ok, thank you for the information. I'm trying. Maybe i'll be back soon ;-)
[12:33] <sauvin> Ooo... thunder and lightning outside...
[12:33] <desertc> http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=39291
[12:33] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: I can recreate the user debian-sys-maint. I and I need to give full access to a db, but which one?
[12:33] <freebird> I'm also impressed because I have gone with dapper drake and it picked up my dvb tv card out of the box
[12:33] <Joshooa> Hey I just installed the new 2.6.22 kernel and when I use it I can't get online, it changes my network card from ra1 to ra0, what do I do about that?
[12:33] <malocite> pelo: good, at least you knew what I meant.  I have a log file, and its updated everytime a banned ip tries to connect, I want to be able to see it as it happens,
[12:33] <ShackJack> freebird: Not using Feisty? Coward! :)
[12:33] <bruenig> Joshooa, did you reinstall any of the extra modules?
[12:33] <pboyce> opop: im using a storage device manger and theres a place for commands
[12:34] <bruenig> Joshooa, oh and the new kernel changed my interface from eth2 to eth1 so perhaps there was some chance in that regard
[12:34] <opop> # /dev/hda6 /media/win_e    ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46    0       1
[12:34] <freebird> I've been burned by too many fedora updates, like the sound of LTS
[12:34] <opop> pboyce, that's my fstab line (ignore the comment)
[12:34] <bruenig> change*
[12:34] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: i don't know that much about administration of mysql. could i look that up on my installation?
[12:34] <Pelo> malocite,  you want someting that will display logs as they are being updated,  ei a real time log view  , not sure it is possoble becasue logs are txt files, that get apended to
[12:34] <opop> change ntfs to fat32, should be ok.
[12:34] <opop> and the drive designation, too.
[12:34] <opop> usb drive?
[12:34] <astro76> malocite, Pelo tail
[12:34] <jamili> very weird i think, in hd boot priority that hd that ubuntu is on is 1st on bootlist
[12:34] <jamili> in bios
[12:34] <sauvin> I don't update fedora anymore unless it's a Saturday afternoon and I'm bored.
[12:34] <Pelo> malocite,  mind you , search for realtime log viewer,  you might find someting , ro real time logger
[12:34] <malocite> pelo: There should be something that can read the log and output it everytime its changed though
[12:34] <Pelo> astro76,  ?
[12:34] <Joshooa> bruenig: No I just did what the site told me to do, with apt get, except I need to remove the repository thing still. Did yours still work though? I can finally see my network card, the non wireless one, but I don't care since I don't use it, although I thought that would interfere. I noticed that dhclient says it's only good up through 20 not 22 so that could be it too
[12:35] <pboyce> opop: noo i got a partion i network with wife to store musci and such
[12:35] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: i'd just be guessing. maybe this is a question best answered in #mysql
[12:35] <malocite> astro76: thats probably how the viewer will do it :)
[12:35] <cantor9> I lookied
[12:35] <cantor9> sorry,
[12:35] <astro76> Pelo, malocite, the command tail will display the last n lines of a file and keep updated
[12:35] <opop>  hey, do the kernel sources in the repositories come pre-configured the same as they are distributed in binary?
[12:35] <bruenig> Joshooa, if you installed any modules that weren't in the kernel by default, you have to reinstall those. for instance I needed to reinstall nvidia and ipw3945 when I moved to 2.6.22 because they needed to be recompiled against the new kernel
[12:36] <sauvin> Cantor has been trying to get help in #mysql but nobody is awake.
[12:36] <freebird> ShackJack: will my nvidia driver break everytime the kernel updates...I'm using nvidia-glx. I have been stuck with nvidias own binary driver until now?
[12:36] <pboyce> opop thanks ill try it in the storage manger
[12:36] <opop> excellent
[12:36] <Pelo> malocite,  the logs are in /var/log/   along with the command astro76  just mentionned that should be what you want
[12:36] <ShackJack> freebird: Only if you compiled the one from nvidia.com... otherwsie the nvidia-glx one in repo will update automatically..
[12:36] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: I am asking but no luck yet.......
[12:36] <bruenig> freebird, it will unless you reinstall it
[12:36] <Bakefy> How do I get a generic usb web cam to work?
[12:37] <malocite> pelo: Yes, perfect, now to find a way to have it only display when the log file is written to, and have the information show up in kde :)
[12:37] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: if it helps, i can't see any mention of debian_sys_main in the mysql db apart from in mysql/user
[12:37] <Pelo> !webcam | Bakefy
[12:37] <ubotu> Bakefy: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[12:37] <sauvin> Cantor, maybe there's somebody in #linux who could helpl...?
[12:37] <Bakefy> thanks Pelo
[12:37] <ShackJack> bruenig: Only if you install the one straight from Nvidia ;)
[12:37] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: debian-sys-maint i mean
[12:37] <bmachine> can someone help me with 2 simple questions
[12:37] <freebird> no I've gone with repo one...I had to tweak my xorg.conf to get my dell monitor working properly. Is there a gui?
[12:37] <ShackJack> !ask | bmachine
[12:37] <jamili> damn it
[12:37] <ubotu> bmachine: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:37] <Pelo> bmachine,  ask and you shall receive ,  but you ned to ask
[12:37] <Joshooa> Holy crap rtorrent is freaking awesome!
[12:38] <bruenig> ShackJack, either way, your nvidia-glx thing is the same thing, just someone else does the reinstalling
[12:38] <sauvin> bmamachine: sometimes things that seem simple... aren't.
[12:38] <jamili> guess there's no way of fixing grub, no?
[12:38] <ShackJack> bruenig: Oh, the semantics! :)
[12:38] <bruenig> ShackJack, one way or another, you need to have done something concerning nvidia when you get a new kernel before you boot into that I guess I should say
[12:38] <Pelo> jamili,  did you try looking up your problem in the forum maybe somemone left instructions
[12:38] <tritium> bruenig: no, that's not correct.  ubuntu nvidia packages should automatically update
[12:38] <ShackJack> bruenig: Oh, yes, but when new kernel comes along.. .kernel modules from repos are also reinstalled automagically, of course...
[12:39] <bmachine> i understand untarring a file...but how is it that you untar a tar.gz file that has many files into their appropriate directories
[12:39] <tritium> i.e., there is no user intervention required
[12:39] <bmachine> ?
[12:39] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie:  Im getting this error:  /usr/bin/mysqlcheck: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect, but the user does not exist
[12:39] <pboyce> opop:im kinda new to linx where do i put that line u gave me, it did not work in the storage manger
[12:39] <bruenig> tritium, they have to install them updated packages
[12:39] <bruenig> the*
[12:39] <ShackJack> bmachine: Directories will be made automatically..
[12:39] <tritium> bruenig: no
[12:39] <bruenig> yes
[12:39] <sauvin> bmachine, the canonical way to untar a tar.gz is: tar -xvzf mytarfile.tar.gz
[12:39] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: I delete the user accidently
[12:39] <Pelo> bmachine,   man tar , and man untar , see waht the options are
[12:39] <tritium> bruenig: no
[12:40] <Pelo> later folks
[12:40] <bmachine> let me try pelo...thanks
[12:40] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: i think it always says that. try logging in to mysql with an incorrect user name
[12:40] <opop> where's storage manager?
[12:40] <bruenig> tritium, kind of do
[12:40] <tritium> bruenig: sorry you'
[12:40] <tritium> ve had some sort of difficulty
[12:40] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'this_name_is_mad'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[12:40] <Ste-Foy> Thanks you tritium
[12:40] <roguetrick> gah, now ubuntu freezes while its downloading package files
[12:40] <roguetrick> I really don't think this computer is up to snuff for anything
[12:40] <roguetrick> great setup, but it seems to be falling apart
[12:41] <bruenig> tritium, I haven't had any difficulty, but I would like to see you install a new kernel without also installing updated modules, and boot into it
[12:41] <pboyce> opop: under admin its called storage device manager i dl it to help me, it mounts it on start up but i can't write to it
[12:41] <aQuariUs_> hi everybody
[12:41] <roguetrick> I do think I'm giving up
[12:41] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: right but I know I deleted the user accidently, do you have the user installed?
[12:41] <tritium> bruenig: cool, I'll show you anytime
[12:41] <freebird> hi
[12:41] <ShackJack> roguetrick: Sure it's just not a connection issue? How are you updating files - update manager?
[12:41] <aQuariUs_> I am new to ubuntu, and I don't know how the sound work (I have a toshiba satellite)
[12:42] <mattgyver83> Hey room.  Does anyone know of a media player that has .avi support, or how i can install a codec?
[12:42] <roguetrick> shackjack, oh yeah its not a connection issue
[12:42] <tritium> bruenig: the point is, a new stock ubuntu kernel update also installs new restricted-modules, and there's no user intervention necessary.
[12:42] <pboyce> opop: if u know how to mount it on start up a different way im up for
[12:42] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: i'd suggest manually inserting the right values into mysql/user by logging in to the mysql-database as root. (this_name_is_made_up (which incidently got shortened to this_user_is_mad) is not a registered user of my mysql database)
[12:42] <kitche> mattgyver83: all media players can play .avi it's what's inside the avi that matters
[12:42] <sauvin> mattgyver83, what application are you using to try to play an avi with?
[12:42] <freebird> have you tried vlc, plays everyhting
[12:42] <sauvin> so does mplayer.
[12:42] <roguetrick> shackjack, its a hardware issue really, I think the computer is just dying on me with all the punishment its been through.  I replaced the harddrive and windows was acting screwy so I figured I'd give ubuntu a shot and hope
[12:42] <mattgyver83> I havent been able to get it to work
[12:42] <mattgyver83> hold on, ill tell you the error msg
[12:42] <roguetrick> shackjack, I run ubuntu on the laptop I'm on right now, you see
[12:43] <opop> pboyce, is it an ide/sata drive, or is it a usb drive?
[12:43] <ShackJack> roguetrick: Try doing updates via command line... Can't see any reason why a system would lock up doing updates:   sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude -f upgrade ;)   ... I hear ya on the failing computer...
[12:43] <jamili> hmm
[12:43] <bmachine> in the terminal i tar a file 'tar xvzf file.tar.gz' it extracts directories and files in them such as an "etc" and "usr"...but i need those files to go into the root directory..how is this done?
[12:43] <mattgyver83> ... bull crap, it never worked before ';\
[12:43] <jamili> what a shame though that i can't access live lol
[12:43] <mattgyver83> now it does
[12:43] <mattgyver83> thx
[12:43] <jamili> hmmmm
[12:43] <roguetrick> shackjack, well, before I restarted it, it was giving me some error about forks and not enough resources
[12:43] <pboyce> opop: ok i got 2 sata drives one is windows other has a ubuntu and fat on it
[12:43] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: so something like: use mysql; insert into user (user, host, ... lots of rights flags) values ('debian-sys-maint', 'localhost', some chain of Y and N...);
[12:44] <roguetrick> shackjack, the only thing I could really see was that update manager refused to start at all
[12:44] <sauvin> bmachine, what is this tarball?
[12:44] <opop> pboyce, what's the device node?
[12:44] <replman> pelo: i tried to use easycam, but there's no 64bit version available :-(. And i don't find the sources to compile on my own
[12:44] <bruenig> tritium, install a new kernel without installing the new nvidia-glx, and boot into it, it will not work
[12:44] <roguetrick> shackjack, but this is about my 5th install on a different hard drive using different CD's each time
[12:44] <opop> /dev/sda2 or something?
[12:44] <bmachine> nerolinux
[12:44] <sauvin> I can't help with nerolinux.
[12:44] <roguetrick> shackjack, all alt install, as I could never get livecd to keep from freezing
[12:44] <astro76> bmachine, there's probably an option to tar, but you can also just mv it to / and extract from there.. be very careful though
[12:44] <ConstyXIV> what's a nice GNOME rss reader?
[12:44] <pboyce> opop: ok got me there. where do i look that up at
[12:44] <bmachine> what is mv?
[12:44] <sauvin> Unless I'm mistaken, nerolinux is a commercial producgt.
[12:45] <astro76> bmachine, the command for move
[12:45] <ConstyXIV> bmachine: mv == move
[12:45] <ShackJack> roguetrick: Hmmm.  motherboard failing I wonder... Ubuntu is usually pretty rock solid...
[12:45] <bmachine> ah
[12:45] <roguetrick> shackjack, oh yeah man, its not just the mobo
[12:45] <bmachine> excuse me
[12:45] <roguetrick> shackjack, hard drive failed on me two weeks ago
[12:45] <pboyce> opop: i think i know what ur talking about is sdb5 what ur asking?
[12:45] <roguetrick> shackjack, whole thing is turning into a hunk of junk, not linux's fault, windows had the same reaction
[12:45] <opop> pboyce, i think it should be autodetected at boot --  can you do a cat /etc/mtab and post it to pastebin?
[12:45] <opop> pboyce, yes, that's what I"m asking.
[12:45] <roguetrick> shackjack, I was just giving a shot in the dark and hoped I hit gold
[12:45] <ShackJack> !enter | roguetrick (just fyi)
[12:45] <ubotu> roguetrick (just fyi): Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[12:45] <bmachine> if i use mv command and extract it.. the files will just add to the root directories and not overwrite correct?
[12:45] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: I can add the user just fine, I have added a new debian-sys-maint, now I need to give this user rights, to one of two db's, and I dont know which, either mysql, or information_schema...........do you know?
[12:46] <tritium> bruenig: not from a default ubuntu install, with an updated kernel release.  You must be talking about a roll-your-own kernel
[12:46] <sauvin> What advantage accrues to using nero under linux when linux is already jammed with similar tools?
[12:46] <astro76> bmachine, it would overwrite if the files exist already in your directory structure
[12:46] <pboyce> opop: it wasn't on boot till i got this add on but i still can't write to it
[12:46] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: you can also use: mysqlcheck --user=root :)
[12:46] <freebird> cantor9: have you discovered phpmyadmin yet?
[12:46] <bruenig> tritium, right, that is what the guy was talking about
[12:46] <ShackJack> sauvin: Beats me - except maybe for reading their proprietary BS files ;)
[12:46] <bmachine> sauvin, the hd dvd tools
[12:46] <ConstyXIV> sauvin: .nrg's, but there are ways around that
[12:46] <astro76> bmachine, use tar tzvf to view the files first to see where they're going to go... be very careful
[12:47] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: I have it installed
[12:47] <codesnik> what packages are needed to compile c++ programs from sources?
[12:47] <sauvin> Proprietary BS files... I like that.
[12:47] <bruenig> ubuntu doesn't do new kernel releases between versions, not actual new versions iirc
[12:47] <tritium> bruenig: that is not what I've been talking about.  I'm talking about the stock ubuntu kernels with automatic updates (security, etc.)

[12:47] <sauvin> mv has a "noclobber" option of some kind... let me find it.
[12:47] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: I have phpmyadmin
[12:47] <sauvin> I sit corrected. "noclobber" in mv has to be deliberately disabled.
[12:47] <orbstra> anyone?
[12:47] <freebird> then adding permissions is easy..it tends to be on the phpmyadmin homepage
[12:47] <kazol> I have a problem with power management-Ubuntu is unable to recover from a standby or hibernate.
[12:48] <tritium> kazol: it is, but perhaps not well on your particular hardware
[12:48] <ConstyXIV> codesnik: in fact, i believe feisty has it by default
[12:48] <bmachine> can i send one of you this file that haunts me to see if its good to go?
[12:48] <bmachine> nerolinux

[12:49] <orbstra> ShackJack: my apoligies, I just wasn't sure if anyone even heard... very sorry
[12:49] <bmachine> sauvin, in the nfo file it is explained...but there are problems with them
[12:49] <orbstra> desertc: thnx I will check it out
[12:49] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: i should be able to see that in information_schema, shouldn't i? i just can't find it...
[12:49] <kitche> kazol: look up your computer and see if there is a fix for it they are working hard on trying to get suspend working nicely but the projects need help really :)
[12:49] <ShackJack> !sound | aQuariUs_ (not specifically, but good troubleshooting info here)
[12:49] <ubotu> aQuariUs_ (not specifically, but good troubleshooting info here): If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[12:50] <thecross> Hello.  I am having a problem with azureus crashing as soon as it starts up.  is there somewhere I can find a log file to help resolove this?  I've tried to uninstall and then reinsall, but no luck
[12:50] <sauvin> NFO, eh? You downloaded it from a warez group?
[12:50] <orbstra> desertc: ubuntu-cracking is empty
[12:50] <opop> pboyce, umask=007 should cover it.
[12:50] <caner> is there anybody here who could manage to get Microdia webcam (0c45:62c0) work?

[12:50] <bmachine> of course, its a demo to try the hd dvd tool
[12:50] <tritium> kazol: which model?
[12:50] <forum> how big does the / "root" folder need to be, do your programs go in there?
[12:51] <jamili> sweet i found some cd with edgyeft's image on it
[12:51] <sauvin> "folder"? Forum, why are you asking?
[12:51] <jamili> ^^
[12:51] <kazol> tritium: Dimension 8100
[12:51] <jamili> if that works i totally will stick in windows
[12:51] <ConstyXIV> sauvin: im guessing he wants to have a seperate /home
[12:51] <mike1234> hi guys, i have mucked up my grub loader can anyone help me get it back
[12:51] <forum> cause i wanna know how big to make the "/" partition
[12:51] <ShackJack> caner: Good webcam info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
[12:51] <bluefox83> what directory does gdm keep themes by default?
[12:51] <tritium> kazol: hmm, that already suspends and hibernates well
[12:51] <dmglouis> mike1234: what exactly is wrong with it?
[12:51] <sauvin> Forum, what do you intend to use ubuntu for?
[12:52] <freebird> forum: I tend to so a / partition of 10gb, /var 1Gb and boot 250Mb
[12:52] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: if you are root.........do you have a db called mysql in Mysql and if so, do you know what non-root user has permissions to it?
[12:52] <forum> i intend to use as the main os
[12:52] <tritium> forum: a default install only required 2-3 GB.
[12:52] <ConstyXIV> forum: by default, ubuntu uses your entire drive as / and takes care of sizing for you
[12:52] <pboyce> opop: ok can u help me unmount and remount it im in a terminal but don't know the commands
[12:52] <sauvin> So, if you download tons of music, porn and other things, you're going to want more than 5 gigs.
[12:52] <opop> pboyce:  sudo umount /dev/sdb5
[12:52] <ShackJack> bluefox83: depends on if user-installed or included theme ;)  ... ususally .themes in home dir or usr/share/themes or something like that.
[12:52] <dmglouis> mike1234: you can try downloading the Super Grub Disk and try recovery from that
[12:52] <jbgreer> gdm themes are in /usr/share/gdm/themes air
[12:52] <opop> pboyce sudo mount /dev/sdb5
[12:53] <mike1234> dmglouis, well i added an option to my menu.1st file to specify the amount of memory, did a grup-update thing and now when i try and load grub it says i dont have enough memory
[12:53] <opop> pboyce, if it's set up properly, that should do it.

[12:53] <dmglouis> mike1234: well if you can access another computer, and burn the recovery disk to a cd, you can try recovering with that

[12:54] <ShackJack> !hi | UgurAlbayram
[12:54] <ubotu> UgurAlbayram: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:54] <ConstyXIV> forum: i really don't think you need it, but if you insist, i'd take about 20G for /, 2G for swap, and the remainder for /home
[12:54] <jbgreer> mike1234: your install disk may be used as rescue - which version
[12:54] <sauvin> That means you could have four 30 gig partitions, each with its own OS and tons of space for downloadables.
[12:55] <mike1234> jbgreer, 6.10
[12:55] <dmglouis> mike1234: yea this is the main website: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/
[12:55] <ShackJack> forum: I'd follow ConstyXIV's suggestion -- even 20GB is *plenty* of space :)
[12:55] <sauvin> ConstyXIV, you're assuming he doesn't install every package under the sun.
[12:55] <UgurAlbayram> I couldn't fix that booting problem i am reinstalling ubuntu now
[12:55] <linda> oi
[12:55] <forum> ok i gues my real question is: when i instal a program...say firefox, does it goes to the root partition or to the /home partition?
[12:55] <ShackJack> forum: root with settings in /home
[12:55] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: lol, it says everything but what database debian-sys-maint is suppose to have rights too...........
[12:55] <jbgreer> mike1234: tried booting it to see if rescue boot is an option?
[12:56] <linda> ny girl with webcam for  virtual sex?
[12:56] <freebird> mike1234: this is in my blog for restoring grub in fedora but it should help http://chrismatchett.wordpress.com/2007/01/02/fedora-core-6-restore-mbr-with-grub/
[12:56] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: Thanks
[12:56] <mike1234> jbgreer, i have and there is no option of that on the screen
[12:56] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: i can't see a way for me to find that out. what should i do?
[12:56] <ConstyXIV> forum: it goes to /, but 20GB will do most (relativley sane) people for software.
[12:56] <sauvin> Forum, package managers install things like firefox somewhere in /usr/bin and /usr/lib and suchlike, so, it'd be in /
[12:56] <forum> also when a new ubuntu verion comes out is overupgrading a actually stable option?
[12:56] <jbgreer> mike1234: follow freebird link
[12:56] <ConstyXIV> forum: yes

[12:57] <forum> whats automatix?
[12:57] <ribando> how do i watch divx in ubuntu feisty?
[12:57] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: do you have a mysql db? or a information_db? or both?
[12:57] <ShackJack> forum: don't ask...
[12:57] <ShackJack> !automatix | forum
[12:57] <ubotu> forum: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[12:57] <sauvin> ribando, using what application?
[12:57] <mike1234> jbgreer, that looks complicated
[12:57] <UgurAlbayram> I format both my partitions and installing a new ubuntu on a single one
[12:57] <UgurAlbayram> I wish it ll fix the problem
[12:57] <ConstyXIV> forum: it used to be a tool to make it "easier" to install software, but it shatters your system when you try to upgrade
[12:57] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: the way i see it from the /mysql/user table, debian-sys-maint seems to have global rights similar to root.
[12:57] <UnbreakableMJ> Could someone share his/her /usr/share/doc/rtorrent/examples/rtorrent.rc with me please?
[12:58] <forum> ok, thanks guys i love this community. thanks a bunch really
[12:58] <sewbuttons> is there a ghost program for ubuntu?
[12:58] <ShackJack> forum: We love you too ;)
[12:58] <jbgreer> mike1234: ever booted with a root/boot cd and edited mounted partitions?
[12:58] <dmglouis> has anyone had a problem with right click menus going behind the window to just in front of the desktop? this problem is happening for all menus, even fullscreen totem has no controls that show up
[12:58] <foxy_> Haha well  that operating system is great ;))
[12:58] <ConstyXIV> sewbuttons: as in norton ghost?
[12:58] <sauvin> What's a ghost program? (how does it differ from a zombie?)
[12:58] <UgurAlbayram> /m shackjack
[12:58] <UgurAlbayram> whoops wrong :)
[12:58] <ConstyXIV> sauvin: i think he means norton ghost, a disk imaging app
[12:58] <sewbuttons> yes upgrading from brezy to feisty
[12:58] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: so its not to one particular db?
[12:58] <mike1234> jbgreer, what i have done at the moment is i have booted the live cd and mounted the partion
[12:59] <pboyce> opop: thanks for ur help im reading the man for mount now 1 last question where is the fstab at?
[12:59] <foxy_> Just killed windows for it :)
[12:59] <mike1234> jbgreer, and can see the menu.1st file
[12:59] <sauvin> Disk imaging a la dd?
[12:59] <freebird> partimage is a partition imaging program
[12:59] <sewbuttons> at edgy now, yesturday it crashed my comp and had to start over
[12:59] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: doesn't look like it. i always thought the rights in mysql/user were global. but it's possible i'm wrong
[12:59] <jbgreer> mike1234: if you've mounted rw, you should be able to edit and remove/change the memory setting you stated earlier
[12:59] <Svish> hey! I plugged in an external lcd monitor. under booting the image was mirrored, but when I got in, the image is only on the external monitor. Where can I set it to mirror, or expand desktop and stuff like that?
[12:59] <ConstyXIV> i don't really know of anything close besides dd, but that's more or less 1:1, and i think ghost uses compression
[12:59] <ShackJack> sewbuttons: What do you mean crashed it, btw? Any specifics?
[12:59] <cantor9> hmm, oh....
[12:59] <mike1234> jbgreer, yep i have done that
[01:00] <ribando> sauvin streaming...on the web
[01:00] <sauvin> Streaming? I don't know anything about that :\
[01:00] <jbgreer> mike1234: grub is nice, editing the conf is pretty much what you need to do, if I understand your problem
[01:00] <RudyValencia> ConstyXIV: Why not use gzip or bzip2 to pack your drive image?
[01:00] <sewbuttons> wouldn't start up after inst of feisty, did upgrade after
[01:00] <mike1234> jbgreer, i just dont know what command i need to excute to reload the grup thing
[01:00] <ConstyXIV> usually for me, just tar.bz2'ing /home and getting a package list from synaptic does the trick
[01:00] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: I guess I will have to try that then
[01:00] <astro76> sewbuttons, partimage... http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
[01:01] <ConstyXIV> RudyValencia: good call

[01:01] <sewbuttons> if i knew how do do that i would
[01:01] <Svish> !multiple monitors
[01:02] <sauvin> I can't help with brightness, either. Have you installed codecs?
[01:02] <ribando> sauvin but, I want to be able to watch movies online.
[01:02] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: I think that link you showed me answers the question then dood, thanks
[01:02] <sewbuttons> does that prog  work like ghost
[01:02] <jbgreer> mike1234: 'reload grup => grub?]   ..... not sure what you mean by that.  what happens on boot?
[01:02] <sauvin> If the movies are flash, I use the Adobe flash plugin.
[01:02] <ribando> I I guess I've installed w32codecs and libdvdcss2 I think
[01:02] <sewbuttons> is it hd image or just backup?
[01:03] <ribando> sauvin what if they're divx?
[01:03] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: incase this helps: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32703/
[01:03] <sauvin> Can mplayer play a commercial DVD on your computer?
[01:03] <mike1234> jbgreer, at the moment the grub screen comes up, but whatever option i select it comes up with not enough memory
[01:03] <howlingmadhowie> cantor9: that's my current mysql/user table
[01:03] <astro76> sewbuttons, yeah it's like ghost
[01:03] <cantor9> howlingmadhowie: thanx alot
[01:03] <sewbuttons> thanx check it out when edgy is done!
[01:03] <mike1234> jbgreer, this is as before, but im guessing i need to type a comand for grub to reload the configration file
[01:04] <ConstyXIV> sauvin: probably, but i know xine can
[01:04] <freebird> bye all...
[01:04] <desertc> stop... 'secret maryo' time
[01:04] <desertc> and dance.
[01:04] <sauvin> Try it with mplayer, too, just for giggles.
[01:04] <jbgreer> mike1234: no.  editing menu.lst is sufficient
[01:04] <howlingmadhowie> okay, everybody. i'm falling asleep at the wheel here. see you all tomorrow. lots of fun figuring out how to pronounce "linux" :)
[01:04] <ribando> sauvin nope...they only player that I have installed and is actually playing DVD and anything else, is xine multimedia player, the other one that I can still get to play is Totem, but the image is crappy, I also got vlc, but I only get sound with that one.
[01:05] <sauvin> Lee nooks.
[01:05] <desertc> howlingmadhowie: not going to charge $120 an hour for database support?
[01:05] <Svish> how do I use multiple monitors in ubuntu? I have a laptop with an external lcd connected. i have an ATI card
[01:05] <mike1234> jbgreer, oh so its not like lilo that gets read every time i boot
[01:05] <desertc> oh well!  you lose.  boop!
[01:05] <ShackJack> howlingmadhowie: Lee-Nux :)
[01:05] <howlingmadhowie> desertc: i should do, shouldn't i ? :)
[01:05] <pboyce> opop: dang it im using the rw switch to mount it and i still can't write to it
[01:05] <jbgreer> mike1234: no need to update like w/ lilo
[01:05] <desertc> howlingmadhowie: everyone else does!
[01:05] <jbgreer> mike1234: what is offending line in menu.lst
[01:05] <howlingmadhowie> i think linux is the only world in the english language with a silent "gnu" at the start :)

[01:08] <opop> pboyce, did you use the umask=007 option?
[01:08] <sauvin> Why won't foxy_'s xchat honour a ctcp version?
[01:09] <ShackJack> ConstyXIV: That is neat - fortunately it doesn't happen often ;)
[01:09] <Rayyan> anyone can help me out with some ubuntu internet problem? connection seems to be really slow or not available while its working on windows
[01:09] <x-code> well how do i get the applications and places
[01:09] <dmglouis> has anyone had any problems with compiz fusion and right click menus?
[01:09] <x-code> back in there places
[01:09] <x-code> cuz i accidently
[01:09] <x-code> removed them,
[01:09] <x-code> and i cant get them bak in order

[01:09] <jbgreer> at the risk of saying something inappropriate, in debian I was used to testing and being able to see what new versions were coming up for particular packages.  is there something similar for ubuntu, in particular things queued for feisty?
[01:09] <opop> the problem is that fat32 doesn't include any access control whatsoever.  if it's mounted, anyone can use it, so, loonix mounts it readable only as root so people don't do inadvertent damage
[01:09] <ConstyXIV> dmglouis: what about r-click menus?
[01:09] <pboyce> opop: ill try that now, do i do: mount -rw -mask=007 /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5
[01:09] <ConstyXIV> x-code: r-click, add to panel
[01:09] <ShackJack> x-code: right click and add to panel...
[01:09] <opop> umask
[01:10] <pboyce> k
[01:10] <foxy_> Gotta go, have a nice day peepz
[01:10] <dmglouis> ConstyXIV: well they all appear behind the window to just in front of the desktop
[01:10] <opop> and put the umask after /dev/sdb5 and /media/sdb5
[01:10] <opop> and no hyphens
[01:10] <ConstyXIV> dmglouis: odd, never seen that.  try in #ubuntu-effects
[01:10] <dmglouis> ConstyXIV:so, if i have many windows open, and i right click, i have to move that window to another desktop, make it transparent and then work with that
[01:10] <opop> pboyce, belay that.  hold on.
[01:10] <caner> is there anybody here who could manage to get Microdia webcam (0c45:62c0) work?
[01:11] <dmglouis> ConstyXIV: alright i'll try that
[01:11] <kyncani> jbgreer: you may have a look upon apt-listchanges
[01:11] <pboyce>  mount -rw /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5 unmask=007
[01:11] <pboyce> didn't work
[01:12] <ShackJack> caner: You see that guide I sent earlier?
[01:12] <opop> pboyce:  >>  sudo mount -o rw,umask=007 /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5
[01:12] <bmachine> does anyone use warez to just demo a product?
[01:12] <caner> ShackJack ive looked at it. even before you sent
[01:12] <fevel> is there a way for me to save a session in a way that when I turn on my computer again, the programs that were open when I logged out. started up at boot?
[01:12] <pboyce> ok
[01:12] <opop> umask, NOT unmask
[01:12] <caner> ShackJack no way none of them works. just wonder if is there anybody who could. if not i will give up :(
[01:13] <kyncani> fevel: hibernate the computer ?
[01:13] <ShackJack> caner: does ubuntu detect your webcam (usb?)
[01:13] <bmachine> using nerolinux...anyone?
[01:13] <caner> ShackJack sorr if i bothered the channel
[01:13] <Shadow6363> Hmm, need some help with user admin, say I have users A, B, and C.  I want user A and B to access a file but not C.  How would I go about doing this?
[01:13] <jbgreer> kyncani: thx, but I suspect that listchanges shows what has changed by extracting from a .deb;  i'm wanting to know, for instance, when ghc 6.6.1 will be available for feisty
[01:13] <fevel> kyncani, no...I want to be able to shut power down completely
[01:14] <pboyce> opop: didn't work got a error
[01:14] <opop> pboyce, what error
[01:14] <ConstyXIV> fevel: hibernate == write ram to disk, then power off
[01:14] <caner> ShackJack yes it can be seen with lsusb (Microdia 0c45:62c0)
[01:14] <thechris> Shadow6363: add A, B to group AB.  chgrp the file to be readable by AB
[01:14] <pboyce>  mount -o rw,unmask=007 /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5
[01:14] <kyncani> jbgreer: yeah, i don't know where to look for queued packages in ubuntu ...
[01:14] <jbgreer> shadow6363: by access what do you mean?  read
[01:14] <sauvin> bmachine, you may find attitudes in this channel towards anything smacking of warez tend to antipathy...
[01:14] <pboyce> im in root so i left off the sudo
[01:14] <opop> pboyce:  NOT UNMASK.  UMASK
[01:14] <logik-bomb> Hi
[01:14] <pboyce> o
[01:14] <Shadow6363> jbgreer, read, view, i dont want them to be able to do anything to it
[01:15] <logik-bomb> Does anyone knows how to fix the TCL issue with the eggdrop on ubuntu?
[01:15] <Shadow6363> thechris, would i then set others to none?
[01:15] <kyncani> fevel: hibernate is a complete power shutdown (suspend to disk) and suspend will keep ram powered (suspend to ram) i believe
[01:15] <fevel> but hibernating doenst go well on my pavilion dv2000 laptop
[01:15] <sauvin> What tcl issue?
[01:15] <Shadow6363> thechris, could this also be applied to a whole filesystem, i have a few folder as well as a whole drive i dont want c able to touch
[01:15] <kyncani> fevel: that sucks he ? does not work well here either :(
[01:15] <ShackJack> caner: Well, that's a start.. Afraid I don't know too much about that model, though a thread is here re: driver..
[01:16] <opop> pboyce, right on
[01:16] <thechris> Shadow6363: yes.  see the "chmod -R " option
[01:16] <fevel> I have feisty 64 installed and there are known issues
[01:16] <opop> working better?
[01:16] <kyncani> fevel: maybe feisty+1 or feisty+2 (crossing my fingers)
[01:16] <pboyce> opop: i can't even see it now
[01:16] <jbgreer> Shadow6363: the issues you describe involve not only permissions on the file(s) but the directory holding the file(s).
[01:16] <arooni> hey folks i have beryl installed on ubuntu 7.04.... and it was working great before.. but now when i do 'beryl-manager' and select beryl.... screen flashes, and i go right back to metacity.  any ideas on what's up?
[01:16] <bmachine> sauvin, why is it so wrong to demo a product through warez?
[01:16] <ShackJack> !beryl | arooni
[01:16] <ubotu> arooni: beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[01:16] <fevel> kyncani, yes...I do believe it will be fixed
[01:16] <sauvin> It encourages the use of warez channels.
[01:16] <caner> ShackJack : you will send a link?
[01:16] <xerawx> does anyone know if the tickless kernel option in recent kernels is dependent on x86, or does it work on powerpc etc as well
[01:16] <pboyce> opop:its not on desktop or the computer floder
[01:16] <sauvin> Besides, it depends on what you mean by "demo".
[01:16] <fevel> Its been reported in ubuntu laptop and stuff
[01:16] <pboyce> folder
[01:16] <mr_dude> I've got two computers running Ubuntu and one running Windows XP.  I want them to be able to file share and share my DSL internet connection.  Anyone know of a howto that explains how to do this?  And what hardware would I need to buy?  Would a router/modem combo be sufficient or would I need a seperate router and modem?
[01:16] <ShackJack> caner: Ooops sorry... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=375005
[01:16] <Shadow6363> jbgreer, from what i understand, arent folder permissions treated essentially identically to file permissions so what works for one works for the other?
[01:17] <caner> ShackJack : thank you let me have a look.
[01:17] <thechris> Shadow6363: unix permissions are fairly simple, and have settings for file owner, group, and other.  you simply want owner and group to have RW access, while having other have neither
[01:17] <kyncani> fevel: and may be fixed at a kernel level for feisty+2 (some kernel dump and reload magic)
[01:17] <bmachine> by demo i mean, try the product without registering to see if i like it...than purchase the product
[01:17] <Naitsir1> hallois
[01:17] <opop> pboyce, i'm sorry, umount it again
[01:18] <opop> pboyce, i made a mistake.
[01:18] <jbgreer> Shadow6363: using letters, x has different meaning for a file from a directory (execute vs. search)
[01:18] <fevel> kyncani, so its a kernel issue?
[01:18] <jbgreer> thechris: with all due respect, not true.  directory perms could allow a user to delete the file without being able to read it.
[01:18] <pboyce> opop:it happens im just thankfull for ur help
[01:18] <Shadow6363> thechris, when i tried doing that, the folder the drive is mounted to can only change permissions when the drive isnt mounted, but then loses thoes permissions when the drive is mounted, so is there some special way that you modify permissions to a file system, id rather not just recursive the whole drive as its a full 750GB drive, is there a way to just stop the drive itself from being viewed, perhaps a mount setting or so
[01:18] <Shadow6363> mething?
[01:18] <pboyce> opop: ok unmounted
[01:19] <Naitsir1> anyone here good with wlan (wpa) setup?
[01:19] <Naitsir1> I have a linksys wlan pci-card that only shows WEP as encryption method. I've tried reinstalling network manager and wpasupplicant, but both are newest version already..
[01:19] <MrDexter> can anyone please tell me, is it possible to download a file via terminal?
[01:19] <thechris> jbgreer: i'll have to try that out.
[01:19] <gordonjcp> MrDexter: yes
[01:19] <UgurAlbayram> Hi again :(
[01:19] <ShackJack> MrDexter: yep -- wget
[01:19] <opop> MrDexter, wget <address>
[01:19] <MrDexter> tyvm
[01:19] <gordonjcp> MrDexter: wget <thing> or curl
[01:19] <kyncani> fevel: kernel devs have some plan for this, using a mini-kernel to dump the entire kernel and then later reload it into memory mainly
[01:19] <MrDexter> lol, I see it's quite common knowledge then!
[01:19] <gordonjcp> curl does a bit more but is more complicated to use
[01:19] <Shadow6363> jbgreer, i did not know that, quite intuitive that is
[01:19] <gordonjcp> MrDexter: if you need a browser at the terminal, look in to using "links"
[01:20] <sauvin> Depending on where the file is, there's also ftp, sftp, scp, blah blah blah
[01:20] <thechris> Shadow6363: you can set permissions for the drive in fstab, as well as on the files (files include dirs).
[01:20] <UgurAlbayram> Guys i couldnt fix the problem yet i format both partitions and made a single one to install ubuntu and installed it i still cant boot ubuntu without cd
[01:20] <cantor9> Does anyone know what this error could be? [Sun Aug 05 06:26:00 2007]  [warn]  module proxy_http_module is already loaded, skipping
[01:20] <cantor9> [Sun Aug 05 06:26:01 2007]  [warn]  module proxy_http_module is already loaded, skipping.................I get the error when I try to restart apache2?
[01:20] <jbgreer> Shadow6363: read access only?  are you mounting the filesystem in read only mode, per chance?
[01:20] <ShackJack> gordonjcp: I think that's "lynx" :)
[01:20] <Superdaddy-o> good lord
[01:20] <Superdaddy-o> guys how do i install my nvidia drivers?
[01:20] <gordonjcp> ShackJack: no, I think it's "links"
[01:20] <jbgreer> thechris: nice.
[01:20] <Superdaddy-o> i just installed linux for the first time
[01:20] <UgurAlbayram> me to superdaddy but cant boot it :)
[01:20] <Pricey> Superdaddy-o, system > admin > restrived manager
[01:21] <ShackJack> gordonjcp: DOH - you're right... me stupid ;)
[01:21] <jbgreer> gotta split cats, later
[01:21] <gordonjcp> ShackJack: I'm not as thick as you look ;-)
[01:21] <ShackJack> gordonjcp: Actually it's both :) http://lynx.browser.org/
[01:21] <sauvin> There IS a links on this computer, and it looks and works just like the lynx I remember from fifteen years ago :D
[01:21] <Shadow6363> jbgreer, i am mounting in read and write, but i dont want user c to have either
[01:21] <gordonjcp> ShackJack: it is, but links is better
[01:21] <UgurAlbayram> Guys i cant even use Grub to set mbr(dunno what is this also)
[01:21] <gordonjcp> ShackJack: handles frames at least a little bit, and tables too
[01:21] <fevel> kyncani, I see
[01:21] <Pricey> Superdaddy-o, lets stay in channel please
[01:22] <gordonjcp> ShackJack: also it can do a graphical browser using SDL
[01:22] <ShackJack> gordonjcp: Thanks good to know.. (frames though? bleech!)
[01:22] <sauvin> What's the probability that UgurAlbayram's MBR sector(s) is toast?
[01:22] <Pricey> !pm | Superdaddy-o

[01:22] <mike1234> im still haveing some problems with my boot loader :-(, I get the error message erro 28 selected item canot fit into memory
[01:22] <jacob_> does anybody know how to shut down the system through the terminal?
[01:22] <Superdaddy-o> PRICEY REPLY TO MY PM****
[01:22] <thechris> jacob_: shutdown -h now
[01:22] <ShackJack> Superdaddy-o: See ubotu message above
[01:22] <mike1234> jacob, halt -p
[01:22] <Shadow6363> thechris, hmm, i seem to have run into a problem, by denying all others to the file, i have lost smb access to the file.  i had thought smb might have been some sort of user i could add to the group, but its not, any ideas how to deny user c but still let smb access
[01:23] <UgurAlbayram> Guys can u help me some again ?
[01:23] <Superdaddy-o> it says something about "hardware does not need restricted drivers"
[01:23] <opop> pboyce:  >>  sudo mount -o rw,gid=100,umask=707 /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5
[01:23] <sauvin> UgurAlbayram, we can try, but I'm beginning to think you're up against a hardware problem.
[01:23] <kyncani> fevel: here it is: http://lwn.net/Articles/242107/
[01:23] <opop> pboyce:  >>  sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,gid=100,umask=707 /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5
[01:23] <fevel> kyncani, thanks
[01:23] <sauvin> When you're using the livecd, do you have any hard drive partitions mounted?
[01:23] <kyncani> fevel: :)
[01:23] <UgurAlbayram> Its not hardware i thnk its about grub
[01:24] <thechris> Shadow6363: not sure how samba works.  I beleive you can have samba authenicate as a specific user/group.   check "man smb.conf"
[01:24] <jacob_> what does halt -p does?
[01:24] <Pricey> Superdaddy-o, tell me the output of "lspci | grep VGA" please
[01:24] <sauvin> Wait... hey... you're installing from a livecd, right UgurAlbayram ?
[01:24] <Shadow6363> thechris, will do, thanks for your help
[01:24] <Superdaddy-o> ???
[01:24] <Superdaddy-o> i do not understand
[01:24] <UgurAlbayram> Yes sauvin
[01:24] <Pricey> Superdaddy-o, type that in a terminal
[01:24] <mr_dude> I've got two computers running Ubuntu and one running Windows XP.  I want them to be able to file share and share my DSL internet connection.  Anyone know of a howto that explains how to do this?  And what hardware would I need to buy?  Would a router/modem combo be sufficient or would I need a seperate router and modem?
[01:24] <mike1234> jacob_, it goes through all the settings of shuting down your computer and if possibly turning the computer of
[01:24] <Pricey> Superdaddy-o, then copy and paste it into here for me
[01:24] <Superdaddy-o> ho do i open the terminal
[01:24] <opop> pboyce, use the second one.  basically, we're telling it to mount rw, allowing users in group 100 (users) to read, write, execute all files, /dev/sdb5 at /media/sdb5
[01:24] <Superdaddy-o> ive been trying to figure out
[01:24] <sauvin> when you do that, you're booted into a running Ubuntu desktop and you honk on some menu or icon to initiate the install?
[01:24] <centaur5> What is the command to login to a broken system after booting into a live cd on that machine?
[01:25] <pboyce> opop: did it and still don't see it, im running from root in the terminal so i leave out the sudo
[01:25] <Pricey> Superdaddy-o, applications > accessories > terminal
[01:25] <UgurAlbayram> yes sauvin
[01:25] <mr_dude> centaur5, What's broken about your system?
[01:25] <UgurAlbayram> i did exaxlty like that
[01:25] <sauvin> When you do that, next time, examine your desktop for icons of MOUNTED DRIVES.
[01:25] <bmachine> are there shortcut commands to a enter in a file into a terminal...much like drag and drop?
[01:26] <sauvin> If //dev/hda is mounted, for example, you might NOT be able to write to hda.
[01:26] <Superdaddy-o> VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0402 (rev a1)
[01:26] <cantor9> bmachine: no...
[01:26] <bmachine> dam
[01:26] <centaur5> mr_dude: fsck found errors but said that there's a package called less missing so it doesn't proceed with repair (I think that's what stops it).
[01:26] <ShackJack> bmachine: Use tab autocomplete in terminal for commands, filenames, etc..
[01:26] <Pricey> Superdaddy-o, do you know the model of your card?
[01:26] <Superdaddy-o> yes
[01:26] <Superdaddy-o> xfx
[01:26] <UgurAlbayram> okey than i ll format the partition again
[01:26] <UgurAlbayram> and try installing ubuntu again ?
[01:26] <Pricey> Superdaddy-o, the model number...?
[01:27] <pboyce> opop: i tryed both of them
[01:27] <ShackJack> UgurAlbayram: Let Ubuntu format the partition :)
[01:27] <bluefox83> is there any software for making themes for gnome?
[01:27] <defcon> does anyone know if gutsy will implement a full drive encryption option for the install process?
[01:27] <UgurAlbayram> it did it
[01:27] <bmachine> shackjack, you saved me time....thankyou
[01:27] <sauvin> You might not have to format any partitions... just unmount all the drive images you see and try running grub again.
[01:27] <UgurAlbayram> its the 5th time i am doin it :D
[01:27] <Superdaddy-o> 8600 gt
[01:27] <sauvin> Frustrating, isn't it, UgurAlbayram?
[01:27] <UgurAlbayram> Yes
[01:27] <Superdaddy-o> i Dled the driver off of the site but it doesnt load up very user friendly
[01:27] <ShackJack> bmachine: You're welcome - works in Nautilus (gui file mgr) in the path line..
[01:28] <sauvin> I'm beginning to understand why people told me to use a regular install cd rather than a livecd.
[01:28] <Pricey> Superdaddy-o, That card was released after ubuntu 7.04, you could install the drivers from nvidia.com if needed.
[01:28] <Superdaddy-o> i tried that
[01:28] <pboyce> opop:is there some kind of file i can show u to see how my computer is setup?
[01:28] <Superdaddy-o> it says it cant recognize the code
[01:28] <cantor9> does anyone with Apache or Apache 2 know why I would get this error? :"[warn]  module proxy_http_module is already loaded, skipping"

[01:29] <UgurAlbayram> i am gona be mad  guys :D
[01:29] <opop> post all 3 of those to pastebin, and i'll take a look in a little bit
[01:29] <ShackJack> Superdaddy-o: That's not how you install it - read instructions on Nvidia site...
[01:29] <bmachine> is it possible to convert a livecd to regular install?..such as replacing knoppix programs onto your current installation?
[01:29] <Superdaddy-o> okay
[01:29] <UgurAlbayram> Dont wanna use a copy of windows againnn
[01:29] <nbjayme> is there a commandline utility in Linux that will fade the screen to black (in number of sec) and also fade from black?
[01:29] <Superdaddy-o> well hey man you hgelped me out a lot i have to go eat
[01:29] <Superdaddy-o> thanks again mate
[01:30] <sauvin> You don't have to, UgurAlbayram. you might just have to grab a regular install CD rather than a liveCD.
[01:30] <ShackJack> !prefix | Superdaddy-o
[01:30] <ubotu> Superdaddy-o: If you prefix your lines with the nickname of the person you're talking to, you have a greater chance that that person reads your messages
[01:30] <pboyce> opop: huh im in root and it says permission denied
[01:30] <UgurAlbayram> okey :(
[01:30] <mr_dude> centaur, You can boot into safe mode from the GRUB at the beginning.
[01:31] <nbjayme> or is there a commandline utility that can do simple root window effects (without the need of 3D cards / XGL)?
[01:31] <UgurAlbayram> Sauvin may the SATA causing this problem ?
[01:31] <sauvin> Not having a sata I can use in this laptop, I can't answer that question.

[01:32] <mike1234> i did it :-), i chrooted into my old drive and ran update-grub and that fixed my grub troubles

[01:33] <SuperAngryFish> I am new to linux and have just installed the spring release 07 of ubuntu. When i come to boot ubuntu, it comes up with a graphical load bar, similar to the windows one, then once it has reached the end, the screen goes black. From this point, nothing responds.
[01:33] <joerlend> I have a usb wifi adapter. Can I espect alot of extra problems installing it, it being usb and all, or should it work like an internal usb adapter?
[01:34] <mr_dude> centaur5, less is a simple little console application that let's you view page by page information in a file, that's a weird error.
[01:34] <UgurAlbayram> shackjack is this line correct its like this (hd0)	/dev/sda "written in grub/device.map"
[01:34] <centaur5> mr_dude: It's been over a year since I've had my system broken to where it wouldn't boot and I came across a howto on logging into the broken system from a live cd to run commands on that installation.
[01:34] <ShackJack> SuperAngryFish: just curious - do you hear the login sound after screen goes black ?
[01:34] <mr_dude> less comes with ubuntu by default.
[01:34] <SuperAngryFish> Nope, nothing
[01:34] <sauvin> I have an external sata drive with a PCI card meant to put into a regular computer and a cable inbetween. Do you suppose an HP laptop would have a port to accept such a drive without needing the card?
[01:34] <ShackJack> UgurAlbayram: Err... sorry don't think that's for me :)
[01:34] <opop> oh, great, vesafb is no longer modular AT ALL?
[01:35] <pboyce> /dev/sdb5                                  /media/sdb5     vfat         #, thats what in the fstab
[01:35] <mr_dude> centaur5, What did you do to cause this error or did it just happen out of no where?
[01:35] <centaur5> mr_dude: I figured it's supposed to already be on there as well.
[01:35] <UgurAlbayram> i thnk my device name is wrong
[01:35] <UgurAlbayram> it must be (hd0,1) etc
[01:35] <toubsu> what is the default root p/w in 7.04?
[01:35] <ShackJack> SuperAngryFish: What graphics card you have?
[01:36] <UgurAlbayram> but its hd(0) atm
[01:36] <centaur5> mr_dude: Well I haven't had my machine on for 2 days but the last thing I was doing was using the live cd to transfer files off my hd to a sd card.
[01:36] <pete83> toubsu: on the live cd?
[01:37] <mr_dude> centaur5, Why were you using the live cd and not just booting unto  your hard disk?
[01:37] <SuperAngryFish> WinFast PX7600 GS (nVidia)
[01:37] <toubsu> pete83: i just installed from the cd and i wasn't prompted to set root p/w
[01:38] <ShackJack> SuperAngryFish: Can you exit to command prompt after going to black screen  Ctrl-Alt-f1 ?
[01:38] <pete83> toubsu: see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[01:38] <centaur5> mr_dude: Cause I'm using gutsy and it doesn't automatically mount sd cards anymore so I manually mounted my sd card and transferred some things to it but then it wouldn't unmount so I couldn't switch to use my 2nd sd card so I booted into the live cd to finish the job.
[01:38] <SuperAngryFish> ShackJack: Nothing works at all, the only thing i can do is install.
[01:39] <toubsu> pete83: thx
[01:39] <Bigcheese> Hey, I installed vmware server and it installed it's own network drivers, which fuxed over the system (all incomming connections are blocked, outgoing is ok). How do I reset the network drivers to the default ubuntu ones?
[01:39] <SuperAngryFish> Re-boot****
[01:39] <SuperAngryFish> sorry:$
[01:39] <ShackJack> SuperAngryFish: But you used live cd to install, no?
[01:40] <SuperAngryFish> I used the CD to install, and it just happens, i had tried re-installing it several times.
[01:40] <l2s> hi
[01:40] <mr_dude> centaur, Weird, heh.  Yeah, I'd search around about making recovery CD's, and the file to edit to skip the fsck scan.
[01:40] <ShackJack> SuperAngryFish: Live cd -- the one with the GUI?
[01:40] <SuperAngryFish> Yes
[01:41] <mr_dude> centaur, I am pretty sure there's a console recovery mode where you got line by line of your boot up and it asks you yes/no whether or not you want to perform that command.
[01:41] <l2s> I was trying to setup a name based virtual host in ubuntu feisty and had a q about how ubuntu creates the users, right now everything is owned by root in /var/www
[01:41] <l2s> is that normal??
[01:41] <ShackJack> SuperAngryFish: Have you tried booting into "recovery mode" (select from grub screen) - command prompt mode ?
[01:41] <centaur5> mr_dude: perhaps funning fsck from the live cd and having it finish the job that way will fix it?
[01:41] <SuperAngryFish> Like i said earlier, i am new and dont know much at all about linux
[01:42] <thecross> is it possible to install windows .exe on ubuntu?
[01:42] <l2s> Anyone know?
[01:42] <ShackJack> SuperAngryFish: O.K. Well do that... select from that startup menu (GRUB) you do have that, I assume...

[01:42] <Zenji> OMG this is asdasd. H
[01:42] <Zenji> How do I use VMware Server on Ubuntu?
[01:43] <mr_dude> centaur5, Couldn't hurt.

[01:44] <Ashfire908> how do i tell the system to not automaticly mount a drive(s)?
[01:44] <centaur5> mr_dude: Okay, I'll try that real quick and see where that gets me. I've been running a long time without a non-bootable machine even with alfa and beta installs.  :)

[01:47] <ryaren> pls help! When I install nvidia 9639 driver and I reboot the system it loads 7184 Nvidia kernel module and my X doesn't start!! But I don't understand why!?
[01:47] <ShackJack> sewbuttons: use pastebin as described above :)
[01:47] <pete83> Zenji: isn't that a standard option when setting up the VM?
[01:47] <sewbuttons> do i need to upgrade locales when done?
[01:47] <centaur5> mr_dude: that fixed it. thanks for your help!
[01:47] <Zenji> I dont know?
[01:47] <Zenji> No its not.
[01:47] <Zenji> I start it up all it says is "create new VM"
[01:48] <centaur5> mr_dude: The only error found by fsck was that there were large files in the file system but no support for them was enabled.

[01:48] <pete83> Zenji: yeah, go to "custom" instead of "typical"
[01:48] <mr_dude> centaur, You figured it out on your own, I was just a sounding board.  ;)
[01:48] <pete83> Zenji: when you are making the VM
[01:49] <Zenji> Ok
[01:49] <Zenji> Then what?
[01:49] <centaur5> mr_dude: Well I needed an audience while I thought out loud.  :)
[01:49] <pete83> Zenji: then it should give you the option, when you are specifying the disk to use...

[01:50] <TimK65> HI folks. I exchanged one wireless adapter for another and got things working in Ubuntu. Now I'm wondering how to fix my Nvidia display in Ubuntu. I've installed and enabled the restricted driver, and tried to configure the display using the utility, but fonts look like crap and I'm missing 24 pixels at the top of the screen. Can anyone help?
[01:50] <Zenji> Yea
[01:50] <pboyce> opop: well thanks for ur help opop
[01:50] <opop> pboyce, right on.
[01:50] <capcadetjc> o NM i think this is a wine question
[01:51] <pboyce> opop: o and thanks for sticking with me
[01:51] <Zenji> Oh
[01:51] <Zenji> heres the problem Pete83
[01:51] <Zenji> Insufficient privaleges.
[01:51] <pete83> Zenji: and before you ask, that's all I know.... I never tried the physical disk option personally, because I think it sounds kind of sketchy
[01:51] <pboyce> c-ya
[01:51] <eboyjr> How can I restart Xor>
[01:51] <eboyjr> Xorg*
[01:51] <pete83> Zenji: then run VMWare server as sudo
[01:52] <TimK65> eboyr: Logging out and back in should do it.
[01:52] <ShackJack> eboyjr: Or CTRL-ALt-Backspace
[01:52] <Ashfire908> TimK65, is it a black spot where someting, like the menu should be?
[01:53] <DIL> test
[01:53] <TimK65> Ashfire908: No, I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. The graphics card is writing data (i.e. my top panel!) to an area beyond (above) the physical display.
[01:53] <Ashfire908> TimK65, or is it just a blank spot. or is the screen off the top of the monitor display area?
[01:53] <ryaren> pls help! When I install nvidia 9639 driver and I reboot the system it loads 7184 Nvidia kernel module and my X doesn't start!! But I don't understand why!?
[01:53] <Zenji> Er crap.
[01:53] <TimK65> Ashfire908: The screen is off the top. Thanks for putting it better! :-)
[01:53] <Ashfire908> TimK65, are you using a lcd monitor
[01:53] <TimK65> Ashfire908: Yes.
[01:54] <Ashfire908> TimK65, use the auto configure feature on themonitor
[01:54] <eboyjr> ShackJack: I am running from the live CD though.. I'm not allowed to install it, and I REALLY REALLY want to see Compiz.
[01:54] <W8TAH> hi folks - i need to install aa cpu speed mangaement package on my laptop (its running HOT) any suggestions  -- im in kubuntu fiesty
[01:54] <Svish> is there a good news/nntp reader for ubuntu with a gui?
[01:54] <TimK65> Ashfire908: In case it matters, I'm also running 64-bit Ubuntu. Where is the auto-configure feature? Is it in nvidia-settings (the utility)?
[01:54] <ShackJack> eboyjr: Sorry, not sure what you're getting at -- what you have for graphics card?
[01:54] <W8TAH> Svish: ive played with pan some
[01:54] <Ashfire908> TimK65, it's on the physcail monitor
[01:54] <bottiger> eboyjr: mandriva has better compiz support on it's liveCD
[01:55] <BesouroLaranja> hgghmn
[01:55] <LiberCogito> eboyjr: there are other distros that come wit compiz/beryl.  hop on wikipedia and type in linux
[01:55] <roger_padactor> lled php5 apache and when i went to test php file in firefox it kept opening a blank page and it worldn't stop opening new pages
[01:55] <eboyjr> ati radeon xpress 200m.... installed the restricted drive of xorg-driver-fglrx on this laptop and ubuntu wants me to restart... but it will lose all data
[01:55] <TimK65> Ashfire908: I pressed the "Auto Select" button on my monitor. That didn't change anything. Am I misunderstanding you? :-)
[01:56] <ShackJack> eboyjr: Yeah, you're not getting compiz/beryl on any live cd -  you have to install XGL etc... I dunno that any live cd has that out of the box :)
[01:56] <eboyjr> ShackJack: 2 messages up
[01:56] <Ashfire908> TimK65, did the monitor dance i little?
[01:56] <TimK65> Ashfire908: The monitor went black, except for a white square in the middle that said, "Auto adjustment in progress".
[01:57] <Ashfire908> ok
[01:57] <eboyjr> ShackJack: It's weird but I type "compiz --replace" and everything turns white
[01:57] <Ashfire908> and the screen still is off the top?
[01:57] <eboyjr> ShackJack: And if I do the commands I can fainlty se the wobbly windows
[01:57] <TimK65> Ashfire908: (It also told me the preferred setting was 1440x900 @ 60 Hz.) Then it came back, and yes, the screen is still off the top. I enlarged my panel to 48 pixels just so I can sort of use it, but that's not a good solution.
[01:58] <ShackJack> eboyjr: Yeah, ati's are a trick prolly be better of with binary driver... but getting going on a live cd is tough... If you want to see compiz there is youtube :)
[01:58] <Ashfire908> TimK65, try setting the monitor relusation in ubuntu to that size
[01:58] <Svish> W8TAH: find that in the package manager?
[01:58] <SineFato> I hope this isn't much of a bother and no rush but I am having problems with Ubunto Live. Is this the corret channel for support of that?
[01:58] <W8TAH> ya
[01:58] <W8TAH> Svish: ya
[01:58] <TimK65> Ashfire908: I did that in nvidia-settings. Should I also do it somewhere else? I'll check while I wait.
[01:58] <jrib> SineFato: yep, just ask
[01:58] <ConstyXIV> my ati isin't having any problems at all, using "radeon"
[01:59] <Ashfire908> timK65, system -> prefs -> screen reulstion
[01:59] <eboyjr> ShackJack: lol. do you know which linux distro runs beryl or compiz or xgl from live cd?
[01:59] <ShackJack> ConstyXIV: Oh, yeah, it's just you have to set up XGL etc - tough to do on live cd
[01:59] <ShackJack> eboyjr: I do not, personally...
[01:59] <TimK65> Ashfire908: Just checked, it's already set to 1440x900 there. Although it does say 50 Hz rather than 60 -- that ain't good.
[01:59] <eboyjr> ShackJack: okay, thanks for your help
[01:59] <ConstyXIV> ShackJack: system -> preferences -> desktop effects
[01:59] <SineFato> I was attempting to run Ubunto Live and all was fine then it got to a screen that said somethign along the lines of "Unable to find a display" which by seeing it, it must have recognized it on some level
[02:00] <ShackJack> ConstyXIV: More to it than that ;)
[02:00] <ryaren> pls help! When I install nvidia 9639 driver and I reboot the system it loads 7184 Nvidia kernel module and my X doesn't start!! But I don't understand why!?
[02:00] <Ashfire908> TimK65, change the Hz
[02:01] <TimK65> Ashfire908: In "Screen Resolution," 50 Hz is the only available choice. :-(
[02:01] <opop> ryaren, because you're using the nvidia installer package instead of the supported version
[02:01] <Ashfire908> hmm
[02:01] <Xzenome> I've got a problem with LIRC, can anyone help?
[02:01] <TimK65> Yeah.
[02:01] <ShackJack> TimK65: FYI refresh on LCDs not the same effect as with CRTs :)
[02:01] <marupa> hi, I just installed the nvidia glx drivers, and my mouse is suddenly invisible!  to see where it is I have to enable the control thing, I can click but the cursor itself is invisible, please please help!
[02:02] <ConstyXIV> open arena is (gameplay wise) just an OSS clone of Q3A?
[02:02] <Ashfire908> TimK65, there might be a way to fix it, but first i'll have a quick fix for the font
[02:02] <ShackJack> marupa: try restarting X - ctrl-alt-backspace
[02:02] <TimK65> Ashfire908: Yes, please! :-D
[02:02] <marupa> ShackJack, I already tried.
[02:02] <Ashfire908> TimK65, system -> prefs -> font
[02:02] <pete83> ConstyXIV: yuck, you should be using Tremulous
[02:02] <opop> i'm thinking about reinstalling gentoo
[02:02] <TimK65> Ashfire908: Got it open.
[02:02] <SineFato> I don't mean to be a bother but did anyone notice my question?
[02:03] <ryaren> opop: I don't understand you. In the past I successfully installed this nvidia driver from *.runpackage
[02:03] <marupa> what was your question, SineFato?
[02:03] <Ashfire908> TimK65, pick subpixel smoothing
[02:03] <pete83> SineFato: yeah, your question is just a difficult one
[02:03] <Xzenome> Can anyone help with lirc?
[02:03] <ConstyXIV> pete83: is tremulous just based off q3a, or is it a clone like openarena?
[02:03] <TimK65> Ashfire908: Done; I don't see much change.
[02:03] <doms> were i can download a theme thats looks like a matrix
[02:03] <SineFato> Pete83: oh ok. I will wait
[02:03] <Ashfire908> TimK65,then it's the monitor most likey
[02:04] <marupa> this is making it impossible to use ubuntu, if I can't see my own cursor.
[02:04] <TimK65> Ashfire908: How does one resolve that? :-)
[02:04] <ConstyXIV> speaking of quake, has anyone else had a bug in compiz where you have to minimize all your apps to play opengl games without getting "shadows"?
[02:04] <Ashfire908> TimK65, in the monitor's built-in menu, you should be able to manually resize the window
[02:04] <ShackJack> Just curious - that was Ubuntu saying that or maybe the display displaying it like "no signal" ?
[02:04] <iamelite> Ok guys i have a serious problem. I was trying to resize my hardrive in gparted. It did not complete the task and now the filesystem is damaged and read as unformatted. I have 10 years of writing on that drive please someone smarter than me be out there.
[02:04] <pete83> ConstyXIV: it uses the q3a engine, but it is so much more. You can build bases, and evolve as aliens, and spit and claw and climb the walls like a spider (as an alien), or as humans you can build up some heavy duty defense systems and buy better weapons at your team's armory
[02:04] <TimK65> Ashfire908: OK, I"ll try that now.
[02:04] <Ashfire908> TimK65, i forgot to ask, is desktop effeects on?
[02:04] <marupa> ShackJack, what do you mean?
[02:05] <ShackJack> SineFato: Just curious - that was Ubuntu saying that or maybe the display displaying it like "no signal" ?
[02:05] <TimK65> Ashfire908: I have not enabled desktop effects.
[02:05] <ShackJack> marupa: Sorry, not addressing you...
[02:05] <Ashfire908> TimK65, ok.
[02:05] <SineFato> ShackJack: It was Ubuntu, I'm on a laptop so a No Signal is unlikley. Also It gave me an option to see the output of x windows I think it was
[02:05] <pete83> SineFato:here's what I would like to know. 1. What version of Ubuntu did you try? and 2. What brand and model is your video card?
[02:05] <ShackJack> marupa: I wonder if installing a differnce cursor theme would fix it?
[02:06] <marupa> Any ideas, anyone?  the free nvidia driver (nv) works ok, but I can only get 800x600.  the nonfree has better resolution, but no mouse.
[02:06] <iamelite> is there anything i can do?
[02:06] <marupa> shack, like, using apt, or just switching?  Cause I tried switching and that didn't do anything.
[02:06] <iamelite> Does anyone know a channel where someone would be knowledgeable about this?
[02:06] <amidaniel> iamelite: Do you have your data backed up?
[02:06] <xerawx> iamelite: you tried to resize a partition that contained 10 years of writing that you don't have backed up?
[02:06] <marupa> brb, gonna restart x with nv driver.
[02:06] <iamelite> there you go
[02:06] <ShackJack> marupa: No, like from gnome-look.org or something and then under appearance/themes things
[02:07] <SineFato> pete83: it is Ubuntu 7.04 and I have an ati X1400 mobile video card
[02:07] <Xzenome> Since no one here seems to be willing/able to help me sort out LIRC, could you point me to a channel where they might be able to?
[02:07] <iamelite> It was my last drive
[02:07] <TimK65> Ashfire908: This idiot monitor doesn't seem to let me resize the image area. I can *move* the image area, but it remains the same size. :-(
[02:07] <iamelite> my only harddrive i had to try
[02:07] <StonecoldVe> who here use art-manager ?
[02:07] <iamelite> is there software that can detect and repair a partition?
[02:07] <ShackJack> SineFato: I have the same card, but never had that message - I wonder if xorg.conf got your Bus ID wrong?
[02:08] <Ashfire908> TimK65, move the image down and tell me if the screen is really off the top of the display area
[02:08] <pete83> SineFato: when it had the error, did it leave you with a text mode that you can work with?
[02:08] <amidaniel> iamelite: You may try out acronis true image. Very unlikely to have success, but it may help
[02:08] <SineFato> ShackJack: I apologize but i have no idea what that means, I'm completely new to linux
[02:08] <amidaniel> iamelite: If you don't have your data backed up though, it's quite likely you won't be able to recover it
[02:08] <StonecoldVe> tf
[02:08] <doms> were i can download a theme thats looks like a matrix
[02:08] <ShackJack> SineFato: Are you at command prompt now?
[02:08] <SineFato> pete83: yes after a couple error messages it kicked me out to the command line
[02:08] <StonecoldVe> ewr
[02:08] <StonecoldVe> d
[02:09] <ShackJack> SineFato: type lspci | grep -i vga            and paste result
[02:09] <SineFato> shackjack: no it is on this same machine. Suppose I should have thought of that
[02:09] <iamelite> Ill try acronis. Thanks
[02:09] <SineFato> shackjack: ok let me start up IRC on other machine and I'll try again on here.
[02:09] <Ashfire908> TimK65, well?
[02:09] <TimK65> Ashfire908: Moving the screen image area down caused my bottom panel to disappear. Sorry, it took a minute to do it.
[02:10] <UgurAlbayram> hi hi hi again :)
[02:10] <Ashfire908> TimK65, but did the top panel appear
[02:10] <UgurAlbayram> I couldnt fix it but i have decided to boot ubuntu from CD anytime i reboot
[02:10] <TimK65> Ashfire908: Yes, but I want to be able to see both! :-)
[02:10] <UgurAlbayram> that is the easiest way to solve this problem :)
[02:11] <pal_> hi
[02:11] <UgurAlbayram> Btw is there any other partition applications like grub ?
[02:11] <UgurAlbayram> Maybe i can try them
[02:11] <pal_> how do i sync between two folder share?
[02:11] <jetscreamer> !info lilo
[02:11] <ubotu> lilo: LInux LOader - The Classic OS loader can load Linux and others. In component main, is optional. Version 1:22.6.1-9ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 342 kB, installed size 1088 kB
[02:11] <Ashfire908> TimK65, try a different relusition
[02:11] <jetscreamer> grub isn't a partition app it's a bootloader
[02:12] <jetscreamer> !info rsync
[02:12] <ubotu> rsync: fast remote file copy program (like rcp). In component main, is standard. Version 2.6.9-3ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 254 kB, installed size 504 kB
[02:12] <UgurAlbayram> can i use lilo now ?
[02:12] <xeon35> good idea or bad idea: on my ubuntu workstation I am setting up winxp thru vmware server on my external usb instead of my harddrive?
[02:12] <jetscreamer> if you want... if you know how...
[02:13] <UgurAlbayram> I dunno but if anybody can help me about it i can do :)
[02:13] <TimK65> Ashfire908: OK, I'll drop down a step or two and see if it helps. Thanks, hang on.
[02:13] <lvpercalia> does anyone here have a laptop asus f3jr or any other laptop with an ati x2300 graphic card?i'm having some trouble with the installation and i can't quite understand really well the explanations i've read
[02:13] <UgurAlbayram> Can u have some time to help me configuring lilo jetscreamer
[02:13] <ShackJack> SineFato: Enter this at command line - should tell what "Bus" vidcard is at:   lspci | grep -i vga
[02:13] <SineFato> ShackJack: ok I'm on my other machine, booting ubuntu Live now
[02:13] <jetscreamer> no sorry dude
[02:13] <jetscreamer> not now
[02:13] <UgurAlbayram> okey
[02:14] <ShackJack> SineFato: Boot in recovery mode if you can
[02:14] <jetscreamer> UgurAlbayram: liloconfig usually works
[02:14] <Ashfire908> TimK65, remember to use the auto adjust if the display isn't in the display area right.,
[02:14] <SineFato> ShackJack: how do I do that? I'm at the ubunto boot menu now
[02:14] <jetscreamer> UgurAlbayram: you always have to rerun the command lilo after making any changes to lilo.conf... creating it would be a change
[02:14] <ShackJack> SineFato: should be option for recovery mode... if not then NBD
[02:15] <TimK65> Ashfire908: Thanks. PS I used nvidia-settings to pick a resolution I want to try (1280x768), but that resolution isn't available in "Screen Resolution," so I'm going to try logging out and back in and see what happens. Hang on.
[02:15] <SineFato> ShackJack: I don't see it, sorry
[02:15] <UgurAlbayram> Where can i find lilo.conf file ?
[02:16] <capcadetjc> does anyone here know anything about Mono?
[02:17] <xeon35> good idea or bad idea: on my ubuntu workstation I am setting up winxp thru vmware server on my external usb instead of my harddrive?
[02:17] <marupa> all right, still no pointer.  I don't really know why the pointer's not showing up.  any ideas?
[02:17] <SineFato> ShackJack: Does starting Ubuntu from a harddrive go faster then the Live startup?
[02:17] <TimK65> Ashfire908: I switched to 1024x768, which I'm not crazy about, but at least everything is legible and I can see my 24-pixel top panel. ;-) Thanks.
[02:18] <marupa> SineFato, Usually.
[02:18] <ShackJack> SineFato: Yes, you should be starting from harddrive... You're not using Livecd are you?
[02:18] <capcadetjc> SineFato: yes it does
[02:18] <ShackJack> SineFato: Wait nevermind - thats  for someone else
[02:18] <SineFato> ShackJack: yes thats what I was saying, I wanted to test it out before i overwrite my working windows
[02:18] <TimK65> Ashfire908: Any other thoughts on this? Sources of info?
[02:18] <ShackJack> SineFato: Yes, the livecd will be somewhat sluggish :)
[02:19] <xeon35> external usb drive is 500 GB and my local hard drive has 25GB
[02:19] <TimK65> SineFato: You should be able to install Ubuntu on your hard drive without overwriting Windows, if you want to.
[02:19] <marupa> it's very hard to figure out what I'm doing if I can't see my pointer, I really need ideas on why ubuntu has hidden my pointer.
[02:19] <TimK65> SineFato: (I've done it about eight times over the last couple of days!)
[02:19] <Ashfire908> TimK65, your welcome. you might want to mess around with relusations until you find one that looks right and works.
[02:19] <ShackJack> TimK65: Hey, if he wants to get rid of windows, let 'em ;)
[02:19] <Ashfire908> TimK65, it's most likey the hz
[02:19] <toubsu> how do i get mp3 support for xmms
[02:20] <TimK65> Ashfire908: It's a little frustrating that this one is the highest resolution available, but windows and text are LARGE LARGE LARGE and I'm not making good use of all this nice screen space. Oh well, you can't have everything -- I'm ecstatic that I finally found a wireless adapter that would work in Feisty! I'll live with this for now and move on. Thanks again. I'm out now.
[02:21] <capcadetjc> can someone help me with a Mono Problem?
[02:21] <SineFato> ShackJack: uh this is new. It spit me into something that lets me type but It won't accept any commands
[02:21] <xeon35> before I did it I was wondering if it would crash the drive or have poor performance ... any opinions
[02:21] <ShackJack> SineFato: SO oyu have'nt installed Ubuntu yet?
[02:21] <Pie-rate> how do i get the BSOD screensaver in ubuntu?
[02:22] <SineFato> ShackJack: no. I have a thing for trying before I go all the way
[02:22] <capcadetjc> where do i go for help in Mono?
[02:22] <Svish> um... I try to play a movie, doesnt seem to matter what player I use, the movie shows for a tiny tiny time, and then the movie is black. movie still playing and I hear the sound
[02:22] <capcadetjc> anyone
[02:22] <marupa> here, someone else has this bug too:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-nv/+bug/123389
[02:22] <Svish> what is the problem??
[02:22] <ShackJack> SineFato: K - nevermind - I'm just confused...
[02:22] <SineFato> ShackJack: sorry If I'm being a major pain
[02:22] <capcadetjc> Svish: are you talking to me?
[02:23] <ShackJack> SineFato: S'O.K. I just forgot what your issue was...
[02:23] <Svish> im talking to anyone who knows what to do. cause its really annoying, lol
[02:23] <ShackJack> SineFato: If using Live CD and not getting video signal, you can boot into VGA mode should work
[02:23] <Greyscale__> brb
[02:24] <Svish> I try to play a movie, doesnt seem to matter what player I use, the movie shows for a tiny tiny time, and then the movie is black. movie still playing and I hear the sound
[02:24] <toubsu> Svish: vlc?
[02:24] <SineFato> ShackJack: There is an optio for "Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode"
[02:25] <ShackJack> SineFato: Yep - cause you were getting blank screen or soemthing..
[02:25] <Svish> toubsu: happens in vlc as well yes
[02:25] <Blauhaut> guys i try to mount iso but i cannot
[02:26] <Ashfire908> xeon35, i would imadge accessing the disk would be slower, (especally if either the drive or the port is not USB 2.0) but it should crash or anything, especally if the bios could boot from usb devices.
[02:26] <Blauhaut> selcuk@selcuk-laptop:~/Desktop$ mount -o loop tatar1.iso /media/sanal
[02:26] <Blauhaut> mount: only root can do that
[02:26] <Blauhaut> selcuk@selcuk-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo mount -o loop tatar1.iso /media/sanal
[02:26] <Blauhaut> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[02:26] <Blauhaut> selcuk@selcuk-laptop:~/Desktop$ sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 tatar1.iso /media/sanal
[02:26] <Blauhaut> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
[02:26] <Blauhaut>        missing codepage or other error
[02:26] <Blauhaut>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[02:26] <Blauhaut> ups sorry for that :(
[02:26] <SineFato> ShackJack: My last delve into Linux ended about as bad as this.
[02:26] <marc> How do you install a Icon theme in KDE im in where you install the themes but the icon theme i dled doesnt get recognized
[02:26] <Ashfire908> xeon35, firewire would be the fastest type of connection, but if it's usb there's no real way to make it firewire
[02:27] <ShackJack> SineFato: Yeah, it's not a Linux thing per se... but I know what you mean...
[02:28] <flux_> anyone know how i can change the properties for the balloon mesages in ubuntu?
[02:28] <ShackJack> SineFato: I recall having some difficulty with getting my ATI X1400 going to -- I had to drop it down to some rediculously low graphics mode to get it to work... TO install... I don't know that you'll get to "try it out" on that machine... But feel free to pop live cd in any old computer
[02:28] <SineFato> ShackJack: Okay it went into the same thing "Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likley that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view X server the problem" then an option for yes and no
[02:29] <Blauhaut> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32705/
[02:29] <Blauhaut> help me ?
[02:29] <SineFato> ShackJack: at the end when I hit yes it says "Fatak server error: No screens found"
[02:29] <ShackJack> SineFato: say no
[02:30] <ShackJack> SineFato: paste output of this in command line: lspci | grep -i vga
[02:30] <Blauhaut> Can anybody help me pls  ?
[02:30] <flux_> anyone know how i can change the properties for the balloon mesages in ubuntu?
[02:30] <ShackJack> !ask | Blauhaut
[02:30] <ubotu> Blauhaut: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[02:30] <marC-> How do you install a Icon theme in KDE
[02:30] <Blauhaut> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32705/
[02:30] <ShackJack> !kubuntu | marC-
[02:30] <ubotu> marC-: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE
[02:31] <Blauhaut> How can i mount iso file ?
[02:31] <blkno1>  Can anyone recommend the best way to troubleshoot something in my crontab thats not executeing?
[02:31] <SineFato> ShackJack: It's not saying anything. Maybe I messed in thinking it was the real command line
[02:31] <jrib> !iso > Blauhaut (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:31] <jrib> blkno1: paste your crontab line that isn't working
[02:31] <ShackJack> SineFato: Should say something - that's a "pipe" character BTW..
[02:31] <Blauhaut> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32705/
[02:31] <blkno1> 0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /home/jim/five-minutes.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
[02:32] <Svish> woho, switched video output in VLC from default to X11. fixed the black video problem :)
[02:32] <SineFato> ShackJack: nothing happens. When I hit enter it just makes a new line
[02:32] <ShackJack> SineFato: How about lspci   and look for line with video card...
[02:32] <jrib> blkno1: */5 is equivalent to the 0,5,10,... there.  What is five-minutes.sh?
[02:33] <SineFato> ShackJack:  still just makes a new line
[02:33] <SineFato> ShackJack: I'm so confused right now
[02:33] <ShackJack> SineFato: You have prompt?   blah@blah> and a flashing cursor?
[02:33] <ShackJack> SineFato: Nothing to be confused about - you haven't done anything ;)
[02:34] <jrib> Blauhaut: are you sure it is not an issue with the file?  Try a file that you know works if you can
[02:34] <SineFato> ShacJack: I did at one point but at the moment it's just flashing cursor
[02:34] <Blauhaut> jrib, i try about 10 different file
[02:34] <kingnothing> What is the proper way to install a new font?
[02:34] <blkno1> jrib:  Its just a bash script to check ps ax for a program and if it doesnt see it it executes it
[02:34] <Blauhaut> jrib, but  the files are on ntfs disk system
[02:34] <Blauhaut> jrib, on my external hdd
[02:35] <Pie-rate> how do i get a damn bsod screensaver?
[02:35] <jrib> Blauhaut: copy it over and see if it matters
[02:35] <SineFato> ShackJack: I did at one point but at the moment it's just flashing cursor
[02:35] <Blauhaut> jrib,copy what  ?
[02:35] <Blauhaut> jrib, they were .nrg files i convert them with nrg2iso
[02:35] <ShackJack> SineFato: CTRL-Z or CTRL-C ?  ... of CTRL-ALT-F7
[02:35] <`sam`> is there some simple webserver on ubuntu, i remember there used to be one in some distro i used, but i never messed with it... i don't want to mess with apache, i just need to provide a large file for my sister to d/l
[02:35] <flux_> anyone know where are the settings for the balloon messages in ubuntu?
[02:36] <jrib> Blauhaut: copy the file over to your HOME
[02:36] <SineFato> ShackJack: I hit CTRL-ALT-F7 and it went back to the X Server screen with a lil cursor blinkign at the bottom
[02:36] <Blauhaut> jrib, i also try it but same errors happened
[02:36] <jrib> blkno1: can you pastebin it?  Have you tried a simple 'touch /home/jim/CRON_WORKS'?
[02:37] <SineFato> ShackJack: and now it wont take any input
[02:37] <jrib> Blauhaut: download an iso that you can check the md5sum for (like an ubuntu .iso) and try mounting that
[02:37] <MethodOne> `sam` you can use sftp to tansfer the file
[02:37] <MethodOne> a example of a graphical client is gftp
[02:37] <blkno1> whats CRON_WORKS?
[02:38] <ShackJack> Damned phantom Ubuntu keypresses :(
[02:38] <`sam`> nevermind, i'm just going to copy it on dvd and they're coming to get it
[02:38] <doms> were i can get matrix theme in ubuntu
[02:38] <doms> were i can get matrix theme in ubuntu
[02:38] <blkno1> Aug  5 20:35:01 localhost /USR/SBIN/CRON[5648] : (jim) CMD (/home/jim/five-minutes.sh >/dev/null 2>&1)  from /var/log/sysmes
[02:38] <jrib> blkno1: 'touch /home/jim/CRON_WORKS' create a file called /home/jim/CRON_WORKS.  THat way you can see if it is an issue with cron or with your script
[02:38] <SineFato> ShackJack: lol. CTRL ALT DELETE just retarted it (old habits die hard)
[02:39] <ShackJack> SineFato: You can't preview ubuntu on that machine...  You can install though and get it working - its a video issue... you need to drop to low graphics mode, install binary driver, etc.. etc... Feel free to pop live cd in another machine though - pref one with intel or nvidia graphics....
[02:39] <ShackJack> SineFato: Good news is, once video issues sorted out , it runs great... I have same card...
[02:39] <SineFato> ShackJavk: hmm ok. How would I get past all the fuss of this to install it?
[02:40] <ker> #ubuntu-es
[02:40] <ShackJack> SineFato: I don't have the energy right now :)
[02:40] <SineFato> ShackJack: ok thanks for all your help :)
[02:40] <doms> were i can get matrix theme in ubuntu
[02:40] <`sam`> but thanks MethodOne, i know about ftp, just didn't want to try and explain it to them lol
[02:40] <ShackJack> SineFato: You maybe can go in another video mode automatically from boot screen.. have to go to low graphics mode, then install binary driver after you get it installed for ergular graphics...
[02:41] <ShackJack> SineFato: I think I used the "tga" driver - -- dunno if a way to start install cd with that or not - maybe someone here knows?
[02:41] <MethodOne> sftp is part of ssh
[02:42] <Eno_> hey guys. something weird is going on. i grabbed the latest stable audacious from their website and tried to install it using checkinstall.  but the package (.deb) it generated also included files overwriting some gcc files, like ld, crtbegin.o, etc... what's up with this?
[02:44] <wannabe100> hi
[02:44] <wannabe100> all
[02:44] <wannabe100> help please
[02:44] <wannabe100> web hosting  administration
[02:44] <Eno_> http://rafb.net/p/Mux0yA91.html
[02:44] <wannabe100> cpanel plesk alternatives
[02:44] <Eno_> these are all the files the .deb is trying to install
[02:44] <jrib> blkno1: did touch work ok?
[02:44] <jrib> !enter | wannabe100
[02:44] <ubotu> wannabe100: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:44] <Eno_> this seems really weird/suspicious to me...
[02:45] <blkno1> jrib Not sure what do you do with CRON_WORKS after
[02:45] <bulmer> Eno_: you can ar -xvf file.deb and see the contents
[02:45] <wannabe100> http://rafb.net/p/eMzV0e77.html
[02:45] <Eno_> bulmer: i just extracted it using dpkg -x
[02:45] <Eno_> bulmer: thats what i pasted...
[02:45] <jrib> blkno1: well if it gets created, that means that cron is working.  So you need to pastebin the contents of your script that is failing
[02:45] <wannabe100> jaebird
[02:45] <wannabe100> please
[02:46] <Ashfire908> wannabe100, are you aware you are in the ubuntu support channel?
[02:46] <Emperor886> Any way I can open a .rar file in Ubuntu?
[02:46] <jrib> !rar > Emperor886 (see the private message from ubotu)
[02:46] <wannabe100> ok
[02:46] <Emperor886> Thanks.
[02:47] <Ashfire908> ...
[02:48] <Eno_> so why when i use checkinstall to install audacious would it try to overwrite parts of gcc? http://rafb.net/p/Mux0yA91.html
[02:49] <xtknight> Eno_, what is this log of?
[02:49] <jrib> Eno_: audacious is in feisty's universe?  Why not use that?
[02:49] <Eno_> xtknight: those are the files in the deb generated by checkinstall
[02:49] <xtknight> Eno_, i dont think you're reading it properly.  /usr/bin/gcc is being executed, most likely, not being overwritten during "make install"
[02:50] <xtknight> eh?
[02:50] <xtknight>  i have no idea
[02:50] <Eno_> xtknight: no, i used dpkg -x
[02:50] <Eno_> xtknight: and apt-get complained that it was trying to overwrite files in gcc
[02:50] <xtknight> Eno_,  apt-get install audacious?
[02:51] <Eno_> yeah. but i feel this is a little suspicious.
[02:51] <Eno_> so i'm wondering whats up.
[02:51] <CheeseGardener> For some reason I have a "root" user in users.  Is this normal?  when I go into properties it says "root" is set to manual password with a apparent blanked out password.  Is this normal?  what is root doing there?
[02:51] <xtknight> Eno_, i'm not sure.  but the audacious package in the repositories doesn't contain /usr/bin/gcc
[02:51] <marC-> V
[02:51] <Eno_> indeed
[02:51] <marC-> Hello all, I'm trying to install this icon theme  KDE_Crystal_Diamond_2.6_Kubuntu_Mod.... I am having no such luck could anyone point me in the right direction?
[02:51] <xtknight> dpkg -L audacious|grep gcc
[02:51] <jrib> CheeseGardener: that's normal, the root account exists, it's just inaccessible by default
[02:52] <CheeseGardener> is it normal for it to have the password box filled in?
[02:52] <xtknight> Eno_, checkinstall isn't perfect though.
[02:52] <Eno_> so its not trying to hack me? :p
[02:52] <Eno_> hehe
[02:52] <xtknight> Eno_, it probably thought gcc was being modified when in reality it was just running
[02:52] <jrib> CheeseGardener: that's just the gui
[02:52] <ironnikki> hey guys, im new to linux, and im trying to dual boot on my hp6500 laptop. when i try to boot from the live disc, i get an error: "Can't access tty; job control turned off". i looked around forums and docs, but i couldnt find anything to help. any suggestions>
[02:52] <Eno_> hmm
[02:52] <xtknight> Eno_, i mean, it probably tracks every file that ever is mentioned in the script
[02:53] <Jack_Sparrow> ironnikki: Get the alternate cd....
[02:53] <galpa> #ubuntu-es
[02:54] <CheeseGardener> k, thanks :)
[02:54] <ironnikki> Jack_Sparrow: I wanted to try to run it without installing first to make sure that i liked it. i dont want to screw up my laptop; i need this for school. can you still boot and run from the alternate disc without installing it?
[02:55] <Jack_Sparrow> ironnikki: Nope... Run livecd on a different system.. but trust us.. you will love it
[02:55] <RiCCo69> who here is good at wireless suport...... Ubuntu see's the networks in range but I cant connect to them I need help in a big way. I've been at this for 7 hours nnow
[02:55] <Eno_> xtknight: oh, you're probably right.. i ran md5sum on some of the suspicious files and they are identical to the ones already installed
[02:55] <zerokill88> anyone use XFCE?
[02:55] <Eno_> phew :)
[02:55] <xtknight> Eno_, ah there's your answer
[02:55] <Rockinghorse> RiCCo69: what card are you using?
[02:56] <RiCCo69> BCM4318
[02:56] <xtknight> Eno_, semi-proper/easy way to build a pkg is probably "sudo debuild -us -uc"
[02:56] <ironnikki> Jack_Sparrow: haha cool; my friend has it, and i took his for a test run, i like it a lot. im just a newbie whos deathly afraid of screwing himself over, cause i defintiely dont know what im doing half the time haha. thanks
[02:56] <xtknight> Eno_, if the source package has a debian dir, dont use checkinstall
[02:56] <Eno_> ah, ok
[02:56] <xtknight> maybe sudo dpkg-buildpackage
[02:56] <Rockinghorse> What are u using to connect?
[02:56] <xtknight> not sure what the diff is
[02:56] <RiCCo69> i've been at this
[02:57] <xerawx> ironnikki: just make sure you burn or somehow back up anything you really need on your windows partition if you're going to resize it
[02:57] <Eno_> i just wanted a newer version of audacious, to see if its any better
[02:57] <xtknight> Eno_, gutsy might have the newest one
[02:57] <RiCCo69> Just like 10 min ago I got ubuntu to see my networks
[02:57] <RiCCo69> but now I cant access them
[02:57] <galpa> #ubuntu-es
[02:57] <xerawx> someone was just in here a while ago who didn't bother to back up ten years of writing before the partition resize trashed it o_O
[02:57] <Eno_> xtknight: yeah, but it also depends on newer core libs which i wanted to avoid
[02:57] <xtknight> Eno_, you could try a gutsy pkg from packages.ubuntu.com.  probably not quite as new as SVN but new never the less
[02:57] <xtknight> ah
[02:57] <xtknight> true
[02:57] <Rockinghorse> Have u tried removing and then replacing the card?  It works with mine
[02:57] <|thunder> what is tribes-4 ?
[02:57] <ironnikki> Jack_Sparrow: will do. ill try the alternate cd and come back later if i get more problems. thanks
[02:57] <xtknight> !tribe
[02:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tribe - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:57] <RiCCo69> no it's a laptop
[02:58] <xtknight> |thunder, tribe is just a version number for a version of Gutsy
[02:58] <xtknight> tribes is a game
[02:58] <|thunder> xtknight; ahh, thx
[02:58] <xtknight> |thunder, feisty used Her
[02:58] <xtknight> Herd*
[02:58] <Ashfire908> could someone help me with gtparted?
[02:58] <RiCCo69> fuck
[02:58] <Eno_> xtknight: i'll just do the old make install way and keep the sourcepackage around :)
[02:58] <xtknight> Eno_, hhe sounds good.  bbl
[02:58] <Rockinghorse> so is mine.  Try taking out and replacing the pcmcia card, then when you connect even if it says connection failed wait  30 seconds.  If nothing, repeat (i.e. take out/replace card, etc.)

[03:00] <summer_s4> mr_dude: some kind that i can download an operating system from a disk and it works on the emulation
[03:00] <Nutubuntu> RiCCo69, there are entire IRC networks where that kind of language is welcome. This is one little channel where it isn't. Can you deal with that politely? Please?

[03:00] <ubotu> jrib: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[03:00] <RiCCo69> my bad

[03:00] <summer_s4> mr_dude: like windows xp on macintosh 10+
[03:00] <Ashfire908> summer_s4: i can't get it to finish resizing a partiton because it errors saying it can't access /dev/sd2 because it doesn
[03:01] <Rockinghorse> don't give up RiCCo69 you can do this!
[03:01] <mr_dude> summer_s4, Look up vmware.
[03:01] <Ashfire908> *it doesn't exist, but it does.
[03:01] <Rockinghorse> Buy a new card
[03:01] <cycom> You can do eeet!

[03:02] <mr_dude> ashfire, Is /dev/sd2 mounted?
[03:02] <Ashfire908> anyone here know a decent amount about gtparted? i need help with a error
[03:02] <powergoal> I am trying to run things that require a 3d accelerator on Kubuntu 7.04, but they aren't installed by default. (Or are not available at the very least)  does anyone have information on how I could get it to work?
[03:02] <jrib> !anyone | Ashfire908
[03:02] <ubotu> Ashfire908: 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?
[03:02] <xeon35> good idea or bad idea: on my ubuntu workstation I am setting up winxp thru vmware server on my external usb instead of my harddrive?
[03:02] <cconstantine>   Somehow my grub install got messed up and wouldn't allow any kind of booting.  I did a grub-install and it apeared to work (from all indications from the commandline), but on reboot it didn't fix anything... so now I've done a complete reinstall of ubuntu and I still can't boot.  Could someone help me fix my MBR (I don't have windows, so fdisk /mbr won't work)
[03:02] <Ashfire908> mr_dude: no.
[03:02] <zerokill88> whats the package name for ncurses?
[03:03] <jrib> powergoal: what video card?
[03:03] <rashind> Hey everybody.  I just installed kubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, and edubuntu-desktop over an ubuntu 7.04 system to try them out.  I decided to stick to gnome, but now all the text for items on my desktop is italicized.  Anyone know how I mgiht repair that?
[03:03] <jrib> zerokill88: apt-cache search -n ncurses   should narrow it down
[03:03] <zerokill88> jrib thanks
[03:03] <xeon35> external usb drive is 500GB and I have 25GB left on my local drive
[03:03] <mr_dude> cconstantine, Download Super Grub, look it up in Google.
[03:03] <cconstantine> mr_dude: thanks
[03:03] <Ashfire908> jrib, please don't skim questions out of context, and also if i ask my question in detial, i get no respoince
[03:03] <mr_dude> cconstantine, It will help you fix your MBR.
[03:04] <powergoal> jrib: 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[03:04] <jrib> Ashfire908: the response to your question is "yes".  Ask a real question (include your error)
[03:04] <ThanatosDrive> Does Ubuntu have built-in .txt to .pdf conversion?
[03:05] <mr_dude> Ashfire908, I haven't seen a detailed and proper question from you yet.
[03:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Ashfire908: are you using gparted or qtparted...  did you unmount the partition before trying this.. are you running livecd or working from an installed setup
[03:05] <rashind> ThanatosDrive: If you open the file you want to convert in the OpenOffice word processor, you can save it as a PDF
[03:05] <Ashfire908> "how do i set up a partition not to be automaticly mounted when ueing the livecd?" that was my first question.
[03:05] <Jack_Sparrow> mr_dude: I agree...
[03:05] <jrib> Ashfire908: k, that's the one you should repeat
[03:06] <Nutubuntu> mr_dude, thanks - interesting web page (super grub) - I hadn't seen that before
[03:06] <summer_s4> does anyone know how to fix the problome with cd burner that says that a certain ISO can't burn?
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Ashfire908: Just unmount it after running gparted.
[03:06] <astro76> ThanatosDrive, if you install cups-pdf you can make a pdf printer to print from any program
[03:07] <Ashfire908> gparted, yes i umounted it, livecd because at one point i will be moving the partition with the system root on it.
[03:07] <amartolos> hey guys, my torrent clients are constantly crashing on start up. any ideas?
[03:07] <ThanatosDrive> astro76: Thanks!
[03:07] <mr_dude> summer, Did you try a different CD?
[03:07] <galpa> #ubuntu-es
[03:07] <ThanatosDrive> rashind: OpenOffice?
[03:07] <rashind> amartolos: What clients are you using?
[03:07] <IndyLucian> Just installed NDISWrapper to try and get my Netgear WG111T wifi dongle to work with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on my tower pc. Worked the first time, now whenever I tried to connect to the wireless network the computer completely freezes. Is there a fix for this?
[03:07] <astro76> openoffice has built in save to pdf
[03:07] <amartolos> i tried Azureus
[03:07] <jrib> powergoal: ah, I'm not really sure about intel cards
[03:07] <amartolos> and in virtualbox i tried utorrent
[03:08] <amartolos> and both crash upon start up
[03:08] <rashind> ThanatosDrive: Yeah, open office saves to PDF, optionally.  Also, as someone else said, the cups-pdf package can allow any program that prints to print to a pdf
[03:08] <powergoal> jrib: ok, thanks for trying :)  I;ll do some more google hunting
[03:08] <amartolos> i reinstalled azureus twice, same problem persists
[03:08] <cconstantine> mr_dude: so why didn't the ubuntu re-install or even the grub-install fix the mbr?
[03:08] <IndyLucian> amartolos, KTorrent works like a charm for me... azureus and utorrent did the same to me
[03:08] <amartolos> does ktorrent work well under gnome?
[03:08] <IndyLucian> yes, im an avid gnome user
[03:08] <xerawx> Deluge is a good gnome torrent app
[03:09] <Jack_Sparrow> cconstantine: IS that a single drive system.. no raid setup or anything like that..
[03:09] <amartolos> thanks guys, i'll give those a try
[03:09] <mr_dude> cconstantine, I don't know.  :)  Try Super GRUB and see what happens.
[03:09] <amartolos> but IndyLucian, and xerawx, what could possibly be the cause of these crashes?
[03:09] <sexinwebcam> no womans here?
[03:09] <cconstantine> Jack_Sparrow: It's a system with a software raid in it... but it's just for storage, nothing system is on it
[03:09] <jetscreamer> nonone
[03:09] <jetscreamer> infact nobody has sex
[03:09] <jetscreamer> we're all virgins
[03:10] <sexinwebcam> hahaha
[03:10] <sexinwebcam> sucks
[03:10] <IndyLucian> amartolos, perhaps some kind of incompatibility issue or just bad programming on the torrent developers part
[03:10] <Jack_Sparrow> My ignore list is overflowing today
[03:10] <Ashfire908> gparted is giving me a error during the process of resizing a ntfs drive. error code 2. it says it can't check th mount status of /dev/sd2 because it doesn't exist. should i set fstab to not allow it to be mounted or something?
[03:10] <rashind> I'm a woman, and like all women, I simply can't resist clumsy, asinine come-ons in technical support IRC channels.
[03:10] <Nutubuntu> Andre Rios de Souza - has it occurred to you that perhaps you're in the wrong channel?
[03:10] <xerawx> amartolos: sorry i have no idea, azereus had problems for me the one time i briefly tried it in windows.. it's an extremely bloated and slow java app
[03:11] <amartolos> IndyLucian, i've used both these clients before, and they worked flawlessly; although i preferred utorrent to azureus just a bit
[03:11] <jrib> !offtopic | sexinwebcam
[03:11] <ubotu> sexinwebcam: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:11] <mr_dude> Ashfire, Yeah.
[03:11] <powergoal> ok, new question:  When I run glxinfo | grep direct I get "direct rendering: No".  How do I turn it on?
[03:11] <IndyLucian> amartolos, i have used both too. . . and at the beginning they worked fine. . . until i started downloading big stuff and then they would just close without warning
[03:12] <powergoal> and is it a driver issue or a configuration issue?
[03:12] <Ashfire908> mr_dude, should i do noauto?
[03:12] <mr_dude> I hate torrents, they're slow and suck.
[03:12] <sexinwebcam> no sex here?
[03:12] <amartolos> IndyLucian: i see...
[03:12] <kritical> Hi there,  I used to be running Compiz however due to a known bug with using VNC over a GL Desktop I've removed it... however... it would appear that my desktop is still running in GL Mode... can anyone tell me a clean way to stop this?
[03:12] <IndyLucian> amartolos, which is really annoying when you keep them minimized to the tray and dont notice until you check the status 3 hours later
[03:12] <aneb> any uses for ssh?
[03:12] <jrib> sexinwebcam: this channel is for ubuntu support _only_
[03:12] <amartolos> IndyLucian: hahaha, ain't that the truth
[03:12] <Rockinghorse> mr_dude: yes they do.  Usenet ROCKS!!
[03:13] <rashind> I'm running Ubuntu Fiesty, and text on my desktop is currently italicized.  I would prefer that it not be.  Anyone know how I might change it?
[03:13] <bulmer> aneb: plenty
[03:13] <amartolos> IndyLucian: although for me, i either get a BSOD in my virtualbox right away on utorrent startup, or my azureus just doesn't start. hehehe. btw, is deluge part of synaptics packages?
[03:13] <Jack_Sparrow> cconstantine: The drive configuration is what is hanging you up from booting...  can you post your fdisk -l for others as I need to leave too soon to be any help
[03:13] <Ashfire908> mr_dude, should i do noauto? or something else?
[03:13] <mr_dude> rashind, haha, how did you manage that?
[03:13] <IndyLucian> mr_dude, torrents rock if you look for highly seeded stuff. I have gained more movies via torrent than I ever have via limewire, or any programs like limewire
[03:13] <mr_dude> Ashfire, Yeah, try it.
[03:14] <rashind> mr_dude, I was trying out kde and xfce, and it somehow borked up a setting, I suppose.
[03:14] <aneb> bulmer: list a few, other than port forwarding  or socks
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> !frostwire
[03:14] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[03:14] <wckdkl0wn> if i install windows xp and then linux will linux show both os's at startup?
[03:14] <cconstantine> Jack_Sparrow: I thought grub didn't care about non-boot disks
[03:14] <mr_dude> rashind, Did you try uninstalling kde and xfce?
[03:14] <jrib> wckdkl0wn: yes, it should
[03:14] <bulmer> aneb: what are you looking for?
[03:14] <IndyLucian> wckdkl0wn, yes
[03:14] <Jack_Sparrow> wckdkl0wn: yes
[03:14] <aneb> bulmer: a list
[03:14] <wckdkl0wn> ok
[03:14] <IndyLucian> 3/3
[03:14] <bulmer> aneb: a list of what?
[03:14] <rashind> mr_dude, yeah, I removed them... but only the desktop package.  If there's a way to uninstall all the stuff they brought along, I'm not aware of it.
[03:14] <aneb> bulmer: what uses there are for ssh
[03:15] <samsara> is there a seamonkey pkg in ubuntu repositories?
[03:15] <GamingX> !python|
[03:15] <Jack_Sparrow> cconstantine: It shouldn't but to fix it will require seeing how you have those drives configured
[03:15] <samsara> apt-cache search doesn't turn up anything
[03:15] <bulmer> aneb: to secure a communication link
[03:15] <kyncani> rashind: i think you should install language-pack-en and language-support-en and remove italian language-* packages
[03:15] <Ashfire908> mr_dude, it's running...
[03:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about python - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:15] <Nutubuntu> rashind, I think that's addressed on one of the pages at psychocats.net -- pure ubuntu or some name like that?
[03:15] <aneb> bulmer: anything else? ;-)
[03:15] <mr_dude> rashind, That's a good question, you could look at the dependencies for them and then hunt them down, but there's probably a better way.
[03:15] <kyncani> rashind: oops, sorry, thought italian and not italic :)
[03:16] <mr_dude> Ashfire908, Does it work?
[03:16] <bulmer> aneb: are you nuts? do you understand the concept of securing communications or are you just trolling?
[03:16] <Ashfire908> it's not to the point where it would error out
[03:16] <IndyLucian> im looking for someone who has experience with the ever-so-frustrating issues with wifi dongles to help me. i've been through a dozen sites following step by step tutorials and still, ndiswrapper seems to be the popular subject. if it would stop freezing my computer. . .
[03:16] <rashind> thanks, I'll pursue this psychocats guide.
[03:16] <mr_dude> rashind, Can't you change it under System -> Preferences -> Fonts ?
[03:16] <xeon35> good idea or bad idea: on my ubuntu workstation I am setting up a vmware server disk with os on my external usb drive instead of my harddrive?
[03:16] <amartolos> who was the genius that suggested deluge torrent client?? thank you very much!
[03:17] <Ashfire908> xeon35, i already told you
[03:17] <rashind> OR, mr_dude can show me exactly what I've been overlooking.
[03:17] <cconstantine> Jack_Sparrow: my root drive is /dev/hda, I used the "whole disk" partition option in the ubuntu installer
[03:17] <xeon35> sorry I missed it
[03:17] <Ashfire908> xeon35, i would imadge accessing the disk would be slower, (especally if either the drive or the port is not USB 2.0) but it shouldn't crash or anything, especally if the bios could boot from usb devices.
[03:17] <rashind> Thanks, guys.  I'll still use this pure-gnome guide to get rid of all the redundant console programs and such.  Thank you for your help, everyone.
[03:17] <Nutubuntu> y/w
[03:18] <Nutubuntu> pass it on to someone in need sometime :)
[03:18] <xeon35> great thanks ... Ashfire908

[03:18] <bmachine> does anyone know a wireless card that is well supported by kismet?
[03:18] <Jack_Sparrow> cconstantine: Nothing wrong with that..  almost failsafe.. so it must be the other drives.. can you unplug them and try to boot?
[03:19] <cconstantine> Jack_Sparrow: yeah I'll try
[03:19] <IndyLucian> DAMN. cpu froze again
[03:19] <unagi> !tv
[03:19] <ubotu> http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out
[03:20] <cconstantine> Jack_Sparrow: this system was suppsed to be very simple in the basic system install.. I'm still shocked that the ubuntu install didn't work and has NO options
[03:20] <IndyLucian> time to return yet another wifi dongle and buy 200ft of cat5
[03:20] <Nutubuntu> delmar, have you restarted OO.o?

[03:20] <Ricco98> any can you help
 i do
[03:20] <Ricco98> im on a second computer
[03:21] <cconstantine> mr_dude: supergrub is doing nothing for me... but it may have caused me to lose my sw raid
[03:21] <mr_dude> haha
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> cconstantine: Anything with raid ... not what I consider simple
[03:21] <Ashfire908> mr_dude, failed, but i'm going to try something...
[03:21] <mr_dude> Sorry, dude.
[03:21] <unagi> anyone have a dv6000t with tv tuner?
[03:21] <mr_dude> I'll failure today.
[03:21] <mr_dude> I'm all failure, I should say.
[03:21] <bmachine> is it possible to dual boot windows with linux with first having a linux installing made
[03:21] <atselby> can anyone help me fix my hibernate function? im on a feisty fawn, and a dell inspiron laptop. thanks.
[03:21] <cconstantine> Jack_Sparrow: the raid isn't required to boot the system... it's only used by higher level apps
[03:21] <Empy> I don't see why it wouldn't be bmachine
[03:21] <cconstantine> Jack_Sparrow: unplugging the other drives worked
[03:22] <mr_dude> atselby, Did you buy an Inspiron pre-installed with Ubuntu?
[03:22] <bmachine> how is this done?
[03:22] <bmachine> some feature in grub?
[03:22] <Empy> you just create a partition, install windows to that partition
[03:22] <Empy> and then reinstall grub via the cd i believe
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> cconstantine: Even as data only raid for the apps to see them they must get the drivers into the boot sequence
[03:22] <kyncani> !grub | bmachine
[03:22] <ubotu> bmachine: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:22] <atselby> mr_dude, nope. loaded Ubuntu myself, with my uncles help, back with the LTS. ive since upgraded to edgy and then feisty. with feisty my hibernate broke, and ive only just decided to fix it. :P
[03:22] <Nutubuntu> delmar, I'm unsure whether you would need this but you could symlink to it from ~/.fonts
[03:23] <rashind> atselby, 2 questions: How big are your swap partition and RAM, and what is the model number of your laptop?
[03:23] <cconstantine> Jack_Sparrow: thats nonsense and overly complicated... lilo never cared
[03:23] <cconstantine> Jack_Sparrow: (well.. it may be true)...
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> cconstantine: I really cant stay but you now know where the problem is..
[03:23] <bmachine> thanks for all your answers
[03:23] <gulmore> hi i have a hp nx9010 laptop, and i want to make my wireless card to work, i have tried with ndiswrapper but it doesnt work, also with the bcm43xx driver for linux, someone knows how to make it works? thanks
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !raid > cconstantine
[03:23] <bulmer> bmachine you can possibly use ntloader to load linux
[03:23] <mr_dude> atselby, I had the same problem with my ThinkPad but there were specific packages for thinkpads that fixed it.
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> gulmore: You dont use ndiswrapper for that... you use fwcutter..
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !broadcomm
[03:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about broadcomm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:23] <Tremitos> hello
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !broadcom
[03:23] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:23] <atselby> rashind, ram is 1 gb, swap is, according to gparted,  1.86 GiB, and the model is an Inspiron 8600
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Goodnight all...
[03:24] <gulmore> ok i will try again
[03:24] <gulmore> thanks
[03:24] <Empy> anyone know if I can get City of Heroes working in wine WITHOUT repatching city of heroes?
[03:24] <unagi> would my express card show up on lspci?
[03:24] <Jack_Sparrow> gulmore: Remove wifi radar until later...
[03:24] <atselby> mr_dude, i just looked at the uswsusp package, from a topic on the forums, but it didnt do anything. did you use this or something else?
[03:24] <mr_dude> atselby, Look up "inspiron" in synaptic package manager.
[03:24] <Empy> I have it on my ntfs partition and don't wanna recopy it :/
[03:24] <atselby> mr_dude, oaky
[03:24] <gulmore> i have recent installed feisty
[03:25] <mr_dude> atselby, i8kutils is a package that's supposed to enable functions on Inspiron laptops.
[03:25] <studeringaaron> where can i get some info on dual booting?
[03:25] <Tremitos> secret
[03:25] <unagi> !dualboot
[03:25] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookProFeisty
[03:25] <atselby> mr_dude, okay. i've heard of that before.
[03:25] <unagi> what are u trying to dual boot studeringaaron
[03:25] <mr_dude> atselby, And lphdisk is too.  You might want to play around with those packages.  :)
[03:25] <atselby> mr_dude, actually. its seems i have it installed.
[03:25] <cconstantine> Jack_Sparrow: ok... so I may well ahve no raid now.  Could you perhaps help me get the system booted with these drives attached?
[03:25] <atselby> mr_dude, okay.
[03:25] <studeringaaron> well i had a windows box and i tried to add ubuntu 7.4 and ended up erasing my drive lol
[03:25] <mr_dude> Try playing with them.
[03:25] <und3rtug4> I beat the all out of my broadcom, and it's working..... for now...! (nasty hw ...)
[03:26] <bmachine> does anyone use vmserver? any success to performance and speed?
[03:26] <unagi> how did u do that......do u not have experience dual booting studeringaaron
[03:26] <Naitsirk> How can I get my screen resolution higher than 1024 x 768 ?
[03:26] <rashind> atselby, that should be enough swap to hibernate...  Here is a forum thread that might help you, if you haven't already seen it.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=471855
[03:26] <Empy> I've used it on windows, but not linux bmachine
[03:26] <studeringaaron> limited experiance
[03:26] <bmachine> yeah
[03:26] <bmachine> im using it now
[03:26] <und3rtug4> BROACOM INSTALL: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
[03:26] <Naitsirk> My hardware should support much higher, but maybe it's not installed correctly or not supported?
[03:26] <IndyGunFrea> studeringaaron, no offense, but you must have been fairly wreckless to do that.
[03:26] <und3rtug4> try the "cutter" ;)
[03:26] <Empy> I ran ubuntu on it, imo the best virtual machines to run ubuntu under are vmware and virtualbox
[03:26] <bmachine> i do a local connection and run windows without a desktop
[03:27] <bmachine> but it's terribly slow
[03:27] <atselby> rashind, thats what i was thinking. its still the same swap i had back on edgy and the LTS... i was thinking it mgiht be a problem with feisty config?and yes i was reading that topic just a minute ago and tried it.
[03:27] <unagi> install windows.....boot into the windows cd, resize the ntfs file system to give you free space to install ubuntu, boot into live cd, install, when it asks how you want to partition click use continuous free space studeringaaron
[03:27] <mr_dude> Naitsirk, What video card do you have?
[03:27] <unagi> that simple
[03:27] <studeringaaron> well its nothing important really that i lost its all backed up and stuff
[03:27] <atselby> rashind, it tells me i do not have enough swap, or one was not detected.
 i don't find this rep  ~/.fonts  "  i find ~/.fontconfig
[03:27] <studeringaaron> but i was trying to run off memeory and screwed it up so ya
[03:27] <IndyGunFrea> studeringaaron: well, i guess thats good.
[03:27] <Empy> virtual machines will never be as fast as if you ran it directly unfortunately :/
[03:27] <Naitsirk> mr_dude: XFX fatal1ty Geforce 7600 GT
[03:27] <bmachine> i wish i could help crossover get their shit together
[03:27] <unagi> well write down what i said.....
[03:28] <Ashfire908> mr_dude, failed
[03:28] <rashind> It does?  Have you tried increasing the size of your swap partition, then?  A full 2 gigs might cut it...  if not, go 4, if you have the disk space to spare.
[03:28] <Naitsirk> mr_dude: it is recognised as G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] 
[03:28] <mr_dude> Naitsirk, Did you install the latest Nvidia drivers?
[03:28] <atselby> mr_dude, with the i8kutils, do you know if thats in gkrellm? or a seperate thing?
[03:28] <studeringaaron> hey thanks again for the info
[03:29] <Naitsirk> mr_dude: I just installed a clean ubuntu desktop version using liveCD, not sure how to upgrade/find the best drivers.. can I use synaptic or browse for it?
[03:29] <mr_dude> Naitsirk, Look up the script Envy in google, it will automate and install the latest Nvidia drivers and provide you with a way to add more resolutions very easily from a program that's added to your Applications menu.
[03:29] <Empy> depends nait
[03:29] <Empy> if it's the nvidia/ati ones
[03:29] <Empy> you need to go to the restricted drivers section
[03:30] <mr_dude> atselby, What's the model number for your Inspiron?
[03:30] <atselby> mr_dude, 8600
[03:30] <bmachine> anyone have a resolve as to why in running vmserver in linux, the copy and paste option does not work when doing a nodesktop key registry in windows?
[03:30] <und3rtug4> atomatix should install some "nice" drievrs to your card!
[03:30] <rashind> Naitsirk, mr_dude is completely right about Envy.  My 8800 was giving me SUCH a headache until I found the envy script.
[03:30] <bmachine> kind of hard
[03:30] <und3rtug4> *automatix
[03:30] <Teufelkind> mr_dude, will envy work if I cannot fully log in?
[03:30] <IndyGunFrea> !automatix\
[03:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automatix\ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:30] <IndyGunFrea> !automatix
[03:30] <Ricco98> i wish I never formated when I installed ubuntu. been at this for 8 hours and I still cant get help with my network. I hate ubuntu it looks awsome but it's not user friendy all I want is my god damn network to work. I can see the god damn network but I cant connect.. ()*(*^(*
[03:30] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[03:30] <Naitsirk> thanks everyone, looking up envy script now :)
[03:31] <Empy> what seems to be the issue Ricco?
[03:31] <Ashfire908> mr_dude, can i send you the gparted results via dcc?
[03:31] <Empy> is it wireless?
[03:31] <IndyGunFrea> und3rtug4: handing out advice to use automatix really isn't a good idea.
[03:31] <gulmore> automatix isnt a good choice
[03:31] <h1st0> Is there like a major internet outage or something?
[03:31] <IndyGunFrea> gulmore: that might be an understatement
[03:31] <mr_dude> atselby, DId you look at this:  http://www.len.ro/work/tools/from-gentoo-to-ubuntu-on-a-dell-i8600
[03:31] <atselby> mr_dude, no hadnt seen that. leme see
[03:31] <Ricco98> empy pvt message
[03:31] <mr_dude> Ashfire, Just paste it in a message window.
[03:32] <gulmore> i have read automatix make your system fails
[03:32] <Empy> I love synaptic :o
[03:32] <RadiantFire> Ricco98: whats your problem with the network?
[03:32] <atselby> mr_dude, about suspend2 i would guess?
[03:32] <Ashfire908> mr_dude, was asking because it's in html and i don't think it pastes well
[03:32] <und3rtug4> i was just trying to help the dude! i know it isnt the best way, but its quite the simplest one! and i dont think hat he will bl up his system by trying to install the driver by automatix! But ok.. my bad ;)
[03:33] <Teufelkind> hey guys, I am also having problems with my nvidia drivers, I have been at it for a few hours, attempting to reconfig xserver and the whats, but am having troubles. I had ubuntu up and running with my old nvida intergrated card, but recently bought an 8800, adn it wont resolve the waythat my old intergrated did.
[03:33] <mr_dude> Ashfire, That's okay.
[03:33] <IndyGunFrea> gulmore: und3rtug4  and anyone else  http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=574639&highlight=automatix
[03:33] <atselby> mr_dude, the only thing is its not nvidia so... i dunno how thatd affect it
[03:33] <Ricco98> ndiswrapper worked my wireless is working. but I cant connect to the network I see it  I cant connect to it. I dont know how to ping in ubuntu so I dont know my packets
[03:33] <mr_dude> Teufelkind, Try envy.
[03:33] <Ashfire908> mr_dude, paste it in the pastebin or as aprivate message to you?
[03:34] <RadiantFire> Ricco98: what wireless card?
[03:34] <gulmore> IndyGunFrea, thanks but i prefer to use apt-get
[03:34] <RadiantFire> Ricco98: er, what type chipset
[03:34] <mr_dude> Ashfire, Do it in private message, I'll sort it out.  I opened a query window.
[03:34] <macogw> Ricco98: you just type ping
[03:34] <|-|3d> Hey guys
[03:34] <IndyGunFrea> gulmore: no, that points out the problems with Automatix..
[03:34] <gulmore> :D
[03:34] <Ricco98> BCM4318 airforce 1
[03:34] <mr_dude> Everything Automatix2 does you can do yourself.
[03:34] <mr_dude> Don't be lazy.
[03:34] <|-|3d> I don't ask for help often, but this has me baffled
[03:35] <Teufelkind> will envy work in the terminal that I can access when xserver crashes?
[03:35] <IndyGunFrea> und3rtug4: nobody's jumping on you, you just gave out very wreckless "advice".. and most here wnat to make sure the person that read it, knows that
[03:35] <|-|3d> I can't get the TV-Out on my laptop to work
[03:35] <atselby> automatix2 is just a waste of time.
[03:35] <macogw> mr_dude: and without borking your system, too!
[03:35] <macogw> Teufelkind: yeah
[03:35] <unagi> !doesn't work
[03:35] <Ricco98> macogw its broadcom
[03:35] <navybigman> ok i am very new and I have read the help on website and still cant figure things out but all i need to help on installing macromedia flash
[03:35] <astro76> Ricco98, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318_%5bAirForce_One_54g%5d?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29
[03:35] <Teufelkind> thanks, Imma swap out hard drives now.
[03:35] <|-|3d> Anyone have any experience with TV out on laptops?
[03:35] <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.
[03:35] <mr_dude> Look on the Automatix2 web site and see all the apps/codecs it installs and then note the ones you want and install them all yourself.
[03:36] <macogw> Ricco98: you said you dont know how to ping. i said you just type ping and whatever you want to ping
[03:36] <RadiantFire> Ricco98: try installing bcm43xx-fwcutter
[03:36] <IndyGunFrea> navybigman: what version of Ubuntu?
[03:36] <astro76> that one needs ndiswrapper apparently
[03:36] <navybigman> fiesty
[03:36] <Mr> ok help please :), "Failed to start the x server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagonose the problem?"  and it gives me a site "wiki.x.org" i try to go but it wont load :|
[03:36] <IndyGunFrea> navybigman: just go to youtube.com, and click the install plugin at the top, just like windows....
[03:36] <RadiantFire> Ricco98: many many broadcom chipsets are supported you just need to install the firmware. The bcm43xx-fwcutter package will fetch the firmware extracter and the firmware itself and install it for you
[03:37] <mr_dude> Mr, What did you do recently that would cause this problem?
[03:37] <bmachine> tv out on laptops is very buggy
[03:37] <navybigman> yeah i got that far and then dled the files but cannot get them to install
[03:37] <Teufelkind> hey, someone got a link to the text?
[03:37] <Svish> how can i do so that movies open in vlc instead of totem when I doubleclick them in the file browser?
[03:37] <IndyGunFrea> !flash | navybigman
[03:37] <ubotu> navybigman: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[03:37] <Mr> i just tried to install it, it seemed like it would load, just stops at the boot load command line and does not go any farther.
[03:37] <navybigman> ok
[03:37] <macogw> Svish: right click a movie file
[03:37] <macogw> Svish: and go to properties
[03:38] <macogw> Svish: and on one of the tabs it lets you pick the default app for it
[03:38] <casperzshado> where does ubuntu keep programs, like in windows they would be in "program files" im trying to set ktorrent as my default but i dont know where to look for it when i browse
[03:38] <Svish> macogw: lol... thanks. was just inside that properties thing.. cant believe I didnt see it, hehe
[03:38] <Empath1999> bin folder i believe casper
[03:38] <atselby> rashind, sorry i missed your message? i dont  have any experience in dealing with the partitions on here and would rather not mess with that if i can help it... the odd thing is that hibernate worked with the same amount of space just even on edgy.. i cant think of why that would change?
[03:39] <IndyGunFrea> casperzshado: download a torrent file, right click, properties, Open With Tab, then if Ktorrent is in the list, click choose a program, and go through the list and select Ktorrent, then set Ktorrent as default.
[03:39] <IndyGunFrea> casperzshado: *if Ktorrent isn't in the list, choose a program, otherwise, just select ktorrent
[03:39] <bmachine> casperzshado: do you have any other torrent program installed?
[03:40] <mr_dude> Mr, What did you try to install?  You need to be very specific so everyone can understand you.  All I know so far is that you couldn't get into X for some unknown reason.
[03:40] <Rockinghorse> navybigman: I have found the Adobe site to be best for installing Flash on Linux
[03:40] <num> m, vftdvuhjn
[03:40] <casperzshado> bittorrent
[03:40] <bmachine> yeah i had the same problem
[03:40] <macogw> Rockinghorse: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree works for me
[03:40] <IndyGunFrea> casperzshado: ok, is ktorrent installed?
[03:40] <Mr> oh sorry, trying to install ubuntu 7.04
[03:40] <unagi> anyone here a compositor?
[03:40] <casperzshado> had azareus but it kept closing for ne reason
[03:40] <Teufelkind> how do I access envy while my xserver is broken?
[03:40] <casperzshado> yes
[03:40] <IndyGunFrea> casperzshado: then just choose ktorrent.
[03:41] <macogw> Teufelkind: same way you do it in a gnome-terminal?
[03:41] <casperzshado> hold please
[03:41] <Rockinghorse> ok, ive always gone, macogw, with the .gz file.  Just seems to work for me.
[03:41] <jescis> is there asnything better than bittorrent?
[03:41] <macogw> Teufelkind: just type "envy" i would guess
[03:41] <bmachine> casperzshado: what i did was i removed both of the programs and reinstalled ktorrent (it is my personal favorite) than it automatically is recognized when you save a torrent to be the default
[03:41] <Rockinghorse> jescis, yes, it's called usenet binary groups
[03:41] <Teufelkind> I have no idea
[03:41] <bmachine> casperzshado: try that
[03:42] <Empath1999> i <3 usenet
[03:42] <bmachine> how much is usenet
[03:42] <mr_dude> Mr, So you tried to install Ubuntu and when the install was over you couldn't get into the login screen because it crashes?
[03:42] <macogw> bmachine: what?
[03:42] <Empath1999> hey rock, you know of any good binary clients for linux which handles nzb also?
[03:42] <Empath1999> preferably something similar to newsbin for windows
[03:42] <casperzshado> it tells me not to get rid of bittorrent cause other things like it
[03:42] <Mr> it doesn't crash, just when it's install it gives me that error
[03:42] <Teufelkind> how would I get the files or whatever needed to run envy, if I cannot get into anything other than a full screen terminal after I am informed that my Xserver is broken or mal-configured
[03:42] <jescis> is there a client package for usenet? or do I just use firefox?
[03:42] <casperzshado> gnome or something
[03:43] <bmachine> macogw: monthly cost of usenet
[03:43] <macogw> bmachine: i dont think you pay for usenet
[03:43] <Neural_Overload> Can anyone help we get WEP working on ubuntu? I've tried using the gui thingy but it just doesnt work. I've looked through some of the troubleshooting guides and I dont even know where to start...
[03:43] <macogw> bmachine: its like mailing lists, AFAIK
[03:43] <macogw> Neural_Overload: what card?
[03:43] <Empath1999> jesc, alot of isp's have SOME usenet access but for the good binary access there's a commercial server like giganews
[03:43] <Neural_Overload> ar5001x+
[03:43] <LordAkira> any 1 know how to use wine?
[03:43] <|-|3d> Anyone have any luck with TV out on laptops?  I have the 945G Intel
[03:44] <Empath1999> what's your issue with wine akira?
[03:44] <Neural_Overload> Like I said, ive tried using the GUI thingy and it just sits there... connecting...
[03:44] <macogw> Neural_Overload: do you know the chipset?
[03:44] <Neural_Overload> I dont.
[03:44] <LordAkira> well i installed a ms. game but i dont know how to run it
[03:44] <Empath1999> which game is it?
[03:44] <macogw> Neural_Overload: http://linux-wless.passys.nl can you check?
[03:44] <bmachine> macogw: yeah but the good stuff costs, also i mixed it up with usenext
[03:44] <LordAkira> ghost recon
[03:45] <thecross> On startup, is there a way to display the processes as they load?
[03:45] <Empath1999> k did you check the wine site to see if it's compatible with it first?
[03:45] <LordAkira> no it wasnt on there but this is my first time using wine
[03:45] <bmachine> LordAkira: what game?
[03:46] <LordAkira> ghost recon
[03:46] <Empath1999> hrmm according to the wine site
[03:46] <Neural_Overload> macgow I think that may have been the chipset I gave you
[03:46] <Empath1999> that game isn't compatible yet
[03:46] <Neural_Overload> Cause I dont see atheros listed on the list there
[03:46] <Empath1999> http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3666
[03:46] <bmachine> LordAkira: unfortunatley its not support
[03:46] <Neural_Overload> Its an interal card thingy in my Toshiba laptop
[03:47] <LordAkira> hmm it installed?
[03:47] <Teufelkind> How would I install envy while my xserver is broken?
[03:47] <mr_dude> Installing is the easy part.
[03:47] <Empath1999> yeah, but it gives issues when people try to run it akira
[03:47] <mr_dude> Teufelkind, can you get into safe mode?
[03:47] <macogw> Neural_Overload: atheros is a chipset
[03:47] <bmachine> LordAkira: and sometimes you think that if it installs it should work...that thinking stole many hours of my life
[03:47] <TheKeyMaker> sod this
[03:47] <Azis> Li'll question:  What is the name of  the "Mozilla SUITE"  for  apt-get  or aptitude?
[03:47] <Azis> I can only find firefox
[03:47] <Chillyboarder> ne1 tell me if www.l00kers.tk werks pl0x mates? thx
[03:47] <Azis> but I need the mozila suite
[03:47] <Teufelkind> it doesnt show up when I press esc durring start up
[03:47] <LordAkira> lol i had high hopes lol
[03:48] <macogw> Neural_Overload: lemme open firefox on my other comp
[03:48] <Teufelkind> it just says restoration mode
[03:48] <Neural_Overload> macogw then my chipset is Atheros AR5001X+
[03:48] <Empath1999> you mean like thunderbird,etc... azis?
[03:48] <Azis> Empath1999, no,  I mean mozilla itself ...
[03:48] <LordAkira> thnkx guys/gals
[03:48] <Empath1999> ohhhh
[03:48] <Azis> Empath1999, firefox and thunderbird are projects from the mozilla corp
[03:48] <macogw> Neural_Overload: lsmod | grep madwifi
[03:48] <Neural_Overload> I think...
[03:48] <macogw> Neural_Overload: what comes up?
[03:48] <Azis> I wanna get the browser "Mozilla"  which contains a WYSIWYG Editor (the composer)
[03:49] <macogw> Neural_Overload: if it's long, dont post it in-channel, but it should be short
[03:49] <Neural_Overload> Ill have to restart into linux
[03:49] <Empath1999> which were based on Netscape Communicator if i'm not mistaken
[03:49] <macogw> Azis: that's old and defunct
[03:49] <Azis> wasn't it the other way?
[03:49] <Neural_Overload> As Im currently using windows to connect to the wireless network
[03:49] <bmachine> netscape
[03:49] <macogw> Azis: Seamonkey is the new one
[03:49] <bmachine> ha
[03:49] <Azis> macogw, but I need the composer
[03:49] <macogw> Azis: right, but what you want is Seamonkey, not Mozilla
[03:49] <Azis> I see
[03:49] <Azis> lemme try
[03:49] <macogw> Azis: the suite is Seamonkey, the "just browser" is Firefox
[03:50] <JimboDeLimbo> BOOYAH
[03:50] <JimboDeLimbo> I kicked vista's ass right off my hd
[03:50] <Azis> macogw,  "aptitude search seamonkey"  does NOT return any results
[03:50] <Neural_Overload> macogw, should I reboot into linux?
[03:50] <Empath1999> heh, Vista's a virus jimbo :o
[03:50] <Toma-> lol
[03:50] <macogw> Neural_Overload: yeah you have to run the command from there
[03:50] <Neural_Overload> Okay
[03:50] <macogw> Neural_Overload: thats to see if the madwifi driver is loaded
[03:50] <Neural_Overload> K
[03:50] <JimboDeLimbo> heh def.
[03:50] <Neural_Overload> Ill go run it
[03:50] <Neural_Overload> Then come back

[03:51] <bmachine> JimboDeLimbo: vista sucks ass
[03:51] <VGambit> what is the most popular torrent client for ubuntu?
[03:51] <JimboDeLimbo> one thing remains, the grub menu is still showing vista, I found the file responsible (/boot/grub/menu.lst) but I'm not certain what to cut out
[03:52] <Empath1999> which entry is it Jim?
[03:52] <JimboDeLimbo> VGambit: I use deluge-torrent

[03:53] <Optimus55> hey i'm wondering something.
[03:53] <eboyjr> How do I get to the desktop cube and how do I work it? ( Compiz )
[03:53] <Azis> macogw, yep but its also not in the repos
[03:53] <Azis> I am not a fan of compiling
[03:53] <JimboDeLimbo> I'm thinking everything below "# on /dev/sda2
[03:54] <macogw> Azis: oh
[03:54] <Pelo> kousotu,  good for you , what sound epsxe ?
[03:54] <kousotu> all sound :(
[03:54] <macogw> Azis: well there are other wysiwygs in there
[03:54] <Teufelkind> eboyjr: you need beryl
[03:54] <Optimus55> i have firestarter sharing an internet connection in fiesty but for some reason the net connection to the other pcs drops every hour or so and i have to restart the firewall. any idea?
[03:54] <macogw> Azis: however
[03:54] <Azis> I see
[03:54] <eboyjr> Teufelkind: I'm know compiz has Desktop Cube,
[03:54] <bmachine> who here uses beryl with an nvidia card?
[03:54] <Azis> thank you so far
[03:54] <macogw> Azis: nvu's most recent release was Nvu Kompozer
[03:54] <Empath1999> I have bmachine
[03:54] <kousotu> Pelo: it's like min sound for windows at MAX
[03:54] <Optimus55> bmachine: i
[03:55] <macogw> Azis: and there are Ubuntu packages
[03:55] <Empath1999> but it was bugging me so much I just switched back :|
[03:55] <Azis> macogw, where can I find them?
[03:55] <stmiller> Optimus55 sharing through wireless?
[03:55] <bmachine> Empath1999: had any bugs?
[03:55] <atselby> mr_dude, well nothing ive read so far seems ot have helped me... i dunno what can have caused hibernate to break between edgy and feisty. thanks for your help though.
[03:55] <macogw> Azis: go to http://www.kompozer.net and there's a button on the right
[03:55] <kousotu> I'm usin speakers from my fried PC
[03:55] <bmachine> yup
[03:55] <LordAkira> empath1999 i got a question?
[03:55] <bmachine> same here
[03:55] <Empath1999> what's up akira?
[03:55] <Optimus55> stmiller: well the other pcs are connected through ethenet lan but the net connection is from a wireless card
[03:55] <Empath1999> As for bugs bmachine I didn't have any bugs, it just seemed sluggish and was making me dizzy :/
[03:55] <mr_dude> atselby, Sorry man.  My ThinkPad would never shut down properly.  Laptops are by design made for Windows except for a small handful.
[03:56] <kousotu> Pelo: can K3b make audio CDs?
[03:56] <LordAkira> this might sound dumb but how do i uninstall what wine has installed i.e ghost recon?
[03:56] <stmiller> Optimus55 okay. Nevermind, that cancells out anything I could think of
[03:56] <Pelo> kousotu,  dble click the sound icon in the top pannel,   make sure all the sliders are at max,  specialy PCM
[03:56] <bmachine> Empath1999: what card you use it on?
[03:56] <macogw> kousotu: it can do most any burning you want
[03:56] <Pelo> kousotu,  no,  you need soundjuicer I thnk it is
[03:56] <IndyGunFrea> |-|3d: what program were you trying to use to watch tv?
[03:56] <Empath1999> Geforce FX 5900 ultra
[03:56] <atselby> mr_dude, well see that to me is odd. it shuts down fine, reboots fine, and goes to suspend fine but just not hibernate... and the fact atht it worked before just make it more puzzling.
[03:56] <Azis> Thank you macogw :)
[03:56] <kousotu> Pelo: damn...
[03:56] <mr_dude> atselby, Try searching around ubuntu forums for it or making your own post.
[03:56] <macogw> Pelo: sound juicer rips
[03:56] <Optimus55> stmiller: hmm okay thanks. just out of curiousity, what were you thinking?
[03:56] <Pelo> kousotu,  make that serpentine
[03:56] <macogw> Pelo: serpentine burns, but K3B is for burning too
[03:57] <atselby> mr_dude, yeah im going to keep searching around for something.. ive found some useful things on there before. thanks again.
[03:57] <kousotu> Pelo: I have that :)
[03:57] <|-|3d> I don't wanna watch TV, I want to display on a TV
[03:57] <Pelo> macogw,  k3b deosn't burn audio as far as I know
[03:57] <macogw> Pelo: K3B, brazero (sp?), and gnomebaker do all that stuff
[03:57] <macogw> Pelo: if it doesnt, thats weird
[03:57] <IndyGunFrea> |-|3d: oh ok..
[03:57] <Empath1999> Akira, I'm not certain. I never had to uninstall it because I just had them on my ntfs partition and load them up via Wine in Linux
[03:57] <stmiller> Optimus55: sometimes trying to share to another computer through you wireless (wireless to wireless) is problematic
[03:57] <|-|3d> I don't know eve what direction to head in
[03:57] <|-|3d> I've never really played with it before.
[03:57] <Optimus55> stmiller: ah okay
[03:57] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: do you know a way other than envy that might get my Nvida GeForce 8800 to work?
[03:57] <macogw> Pelo: it's supposed to be "the best" but if gnomebaker beats it on that, i'm glad i went with using that all the time
[03:58] <LordAkira> kk thnkx i'll figuer it out
[03:58] <|-|3d> Especially with Ubuntu I easily find anything I need help with online, but this I can't find anything useful on.
[03:58] <Neural_Overload> macogw: I ran the command and nothing came up
[03:58] <bmachine> |-|3d: you have ubuntu?
[03:58] <macogw> Neural_Overload: modprobe "madwifi"
[03:58] <macogw> Neural_Overload: ack, no quotes
[03:58] <Pelo> macogw,  I think k3b and gnome only do data not dvd or audio formats
[03:58] <kousotu> Pelo: k3b can't find a MP3 decoder...
[03:58] <Neural_Overload> K
[03:58] <Neural_Overload> Brb
[03:58] <RadiantFire> macogw: its brasero
[03:58] <mr_dude> Teufelkind, When you were installing Ubuntu what video card did it detect?
[03:59] <macogw> Pelo: gnomebaker does data dvd, data cd, or audio cd
[03:59] <|-|3d> Yeah, Feisty
[03:59] <kousotu> Pelo: kb3 burns audio, just checked
[03:59] <Naitsirk> mr_dude: I installed the envy script and nvidia driver, but when choosing my resolution (1600x1024) I get white horizontal stripes flashing up and down on my screen :/ suggestions?
[03:59] <pboyce> got a question, how do i get it were i can network a fat32 partion so windows can see it?
[03:59] <GamingX> I am using evolution, and get mail from gmail, How do I configure it in such  a way that when Evolution gets the mail from gmail, the mail in the mailbox gets automatically deleted or synchronised?
[03:59] <macogw> Pelo: aside from burning from an iso
[03:59] <zimmo> i am having problems with the grep command
[03:59] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE
[03:59] <Nutubuntu> Azis, nvu is now kompozer; you can get a Ubuntu deb from getdebs.net
[03:59] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: I even had beryl running
[03:59] <bmachine> |-|3d: than check this out... it worked for me. Ubuntu:Nvidia 7600 Geforce Go: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=23628
[03:59] <Azis> thx Nutubuntu !
[03:59] <Pelo> macogw,  gnomebaker encoded dvd format, I don'T think so ,  and it doesn't encode audio either I realy don'T think
[03:59] <mr_dude> Naitsirk, What's the refresh rate set at?
[04:00] <Pelo> anyway, back later I have an issue of my own to solve
[04:00] <kousotu> Pelo: how do I get amp3 decoder for k3b?
[04:00] <Naitsirk> auto, and all i can choose is 60 Hz
[04:00] <bmachine> GamingX: the settings button in gmail will do that for you
[04:00] <Naitsirk> mr_dude: Auto, and all i can choose is 60 hz
[04:00] <Nutubuntu> Azis, sry, not getdebS but getDEB.net
[04:00] <macogw> pelo: ive burned audio cds from it before to give to a guy i was dating...ya know, the old "mixtape gift" :p
[04:00] <kousotu> damnit...
[04:00] <zimmo> hey people, for instance, if I type "grep -e @yahoo.com.br test.log" the output would be only the emails address, would not they?
[04:01] <mr_dude> Try 60 hz.  What does your monitor's manual say is the recommended revolution and refresh?
[04:01] <unagi> its sad that because i want to watch tv i have to switch over to windows
[04:01] <zimmo> hey people, for instance, if I type "grep -e @yahoo.com.br test.log > newtest.log" the output would be only the emails address, would not they?
[04:01] <mr_dude> revolution/resolution
[04:01] <Nutubuntu> !repeat
[04:01] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[04:01] <macogw> zimmo: maybe, might be the full line
[04:01] <kousotu> macogw: did you have MP3 decoder issues?
[04:01] <macogw> zimmo: and that ubotu was at you
[04:01] <zimmo> i changed my question
[04:01] <mr_dude> Teufelkind, Explain to me again how your situation came about.
[04:01] <macogw> kousotu: no, and im pretty sure i had mp3, not ogg at the tiime
[04:01] <zimmo> 7.04
[04:01] <zimmo> it has to be the full e-mail address?
[04:02] <Teufelkind> Naitsirk: you can fix that by doing the whole ~"sudo dpkg reconfigure xconfig-xorg" and when it asks easy normal or advanced choose advanced, and set the refresh rate at 85 hrz
[04:02] <kousotu> macogw: k3b is spidding decoder issues at me
[04:02] <pboyce> how can i up my refresh and resolution? i got a nvidia 6800 and im using the resricted drvs
[04:02] <zimmo> how can I get only a part of the full string of characters ?? macogw
[04:02] <kousotu> spitting*
[04:02] <Nutubuntu> lines containing the email address - not just the address but any line containing the address, I think
[04:02] <pboyce> they are maxed at 1024x768 and 54hz
[04:02] <krzee> can someone recommend a nice gui irc client (socks5 support mandatory)
[04:02] <bmachine> pboyce: in terminal type: 'nvidia-settings'
[04:02] <macogw> Teufelkind: isnt it "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"?
[04:02] <pboyce> thks
[04:03] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: I had Ubuntu working just fine with my intergrated NVIDIA 6150 LE then I upgraded to an NVIDIA 8800 and Xserver will not open, due to the lack of a driver
[04:03] <Kragnerac> :)
[04:03] <zimmo> Nutubuntu and is there some wai that I can get all the addresses and only the addresses ?
[04:03] <Teufelkind> macogw: just going off memory of the last four hours
[04:03] <macogw> zimmo: perl
[04:03] <mr_dude> Teufelkind, Did the upgrade make a back up of /etc/xorg.conf
[04:03] <bmachine> yeah the 7600 nvidia card is the latest in support
[04:03] <zimmo> programming?
[04:03] <bmachine> i believe
[04:03] <zimmo> macogw?
[04:03] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: I belive so
[04:03] <zimmo> must i code?
[04:04] <macogw> zimmo: using a perl regular expression would do it
[04:04] <macogw> zimmo: i dont know perl
[04:04] <zimmo> yes but i understand nothing of pearl
[04:04] <zimmo> i am like you
[04:04] <zimmo> no perl at all
[04:04] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: cp /ect/X11/xorg.conf.backup right?
[04:04] <macogw> zimmo: there's probably a script online that you could find that would do it though.  cant be that complex of a script
[04:04] <Naitsirk> mr_dude: found out 1680 x 1050 was max resolution, so updated to that and the stripes went away :) cheers :D  ..now if I could only get the "Save to X configuration file" to work - "Uable to remove old X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
[04:04] <Nutubuntu> zimmo, you could always use http://tools.perceptus.ca/text-wiz.php?ops=5
[04:04] <zimmo> ok
[04:04] <macogw> Naitsirk: just delete the old backup yourself
[04:05] <Azis> macogw, Nutubuntu:  I installed  kompozer successfully  but the command to start it seems not to be "kompozer"
[04:05] <pboyce> thanks alot
[04:05] <Azis> what command do I need to use to start it?
[04:05] <mr_dude> Teufelkind, Yes.  Make a back up of your current xorg.conf and then copy the back up made by the upgrade over your current and try it.
[04:05] <zimmo> i believe this channel can show the way, and you do your own way later
[04:05] <macogw> Azis: it didnt show in your menus?
[04:05] <zimmo> thats the point, thank you all
[04:05] <bmachine> pboyce: work for ya?
[04:05] <Azis> oh, maybe ... I will look for it there
[04:05] <Azis> I removed the menu
[04:05] <Azis> but I will restore it
[04:05] <mr_dude> Naitsirk, Rename xorg.conf.backup to something else by using the mv command.
[04:06] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: already tried, I'v been on forums with laptop for four hours trying differant fixes
[04:06] <macogw> Azis: add it back just for the sake of figuring it out
[04:06] <Azis> hehe
[04:06] <Azis> the name is "nvu"
[04:06] <Azis> LOL
[04:06] <Azis> ;)
[04:06] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: envy looked promising, but I cannot seem to find a way to use with my broken Xserver, and inability to access safe mode.
[04:06] <Kragnerac> :)
[04:07] <mr_dude> Teufelkind, Can you uninstall your driver package and the reinstall the basic nvidia package.
[04:07] <Naitsirk> mr_dude: oops, i used rm and now I get: "Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'"
[04:07] <macogw> Azis: well it is a release of nvu so i guess that makes sense
[04:07] <casperzshado> how do i find the command for ktorrent so i can have it start on boot up?
[04:07] <Kragnerac> Tracker
[04:07] <kousotu> wb Pelo
[04:07] <yurimxpxman> I'm trying to encode all the wav files in a directory with lame, and lame requires a single input filename and a single output filename. I figured out how to get the input one at a time, but I don't know how to get the output names, which would be the same as the input but with the .mp3 extension instead of .wav. Any ideas? Here's what I have so far: find *.wav -print0|xargs -0 lame -V0
[04:07] <bmachine> anyone wardrive with kismet?
[04:07] <mr_dude> Naitsirk, Type cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf does anything come up?
[04:07] <Pelo> macogw, I apologise you were correct , gnomebaker can encode audio cd
[04:08] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: im not so sure, I ever got anything installed..
[04:08] <mr_dude> Naitsirk, Type cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup does anything come up?
[04:08] <Nutubuntu> It's funny, Azis - I remember reading that the Kompozer people couldn't use the Nvu name for some reason. I guess this way they're not using it ... as a name ;P
[04:08] <Pelo> thank you kousotu  did you fix your sound issue ?
[04:08] <kousotu> Pelo: I have my speakers at MAX, and the sound is horrible :(
[04:08] <macogw> Naitsirk: dont paste in here what does show though
[04:08] <GamingX> Which is the latest edition of Ubuntu?
[04:08] <Pelo> kousotu,  horrible or low ?
[04:08] <kousotu> low
[04:08] <Naitsirk> mr_dude: yes, it list display information
[04:09] <mr_dude> Teufelkind, What did you install exactly?
[04:09] <macogw> GamingX: feisty, 7.04
[04:09] <kousotu> min for windows, just about
[04:09] <bmachine> yup
[04:09] <macogw> GamingX: gutsy will be out oct 18
[04:09] <Ashfire908> is there a fstab option to prevent something from mounting at all?
[04:09] <Pelo> kousotu,  open up the terminal,  type alsamixer ,  make sure everthing is at max,   tab keys and arrows
[04:09] <mr_dude> Naitsirk, I wouldn't worry about that error message if everything is working.
[04:09] <Rockinghorse> Pelo, a simple preamp is all you need
[04:09] <kousotu> Pelo: I know they are
[04:09] <macogw> Ashfire908: just delete its line and it wont mount at startup
[04:09] <Pelo> Rockinghorse, donT tell me , tell kousotu
[04:09] <Naitsirk> Oki. thanks again. I'll try a reboot and see what happens..
[04:09] <Neural_Overload> macogw: I tried modprobe madwifi and it said
[04:09] <macogw> Ashfire908: but if you want to turn off automount when you plug in a drive...no idea
[04:09] <Pelo> kousotu,  don't know, check
[04:09] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: I ran through the NVIDIA tut, "sudo apt-get install nvida-glx-new"
[04:10] <kousotu> Pelo: want a screenshot?
[04:10] <macogw> Neural_Overload: can you connect wired from your ubuntu partition to avoid having to reboot?
[04:10] <Pelo> kousotu,  not realy
[04:10] <kousotu> lol
[04:10] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: "sudo  nvidia-xconfig --no-composite"
[04:10] <Neural_Overload> I cant at the moment
[04:10] <Neural_Overload> Im at a hotel
[04:10] <Ashfire908> it's a hard drive, and when gparted does certain things, a drive that it's working on trys to mount
[04:10] <mr_dude> Teufelkind, Uninstall it.  I don't think nvidia-glx-new supports your driver anyway.
[04:10] <macogw> Neural_Overload: they lack ethernet?
[04:11] <kousotu> lol
[04:11] <macogw> Ashfire908: oh yeah...i hate that.  i'm also wanting to know how to make it stop that
[04:11] <Neural_Overload> Yeah, AFAIK they only have wifi
[04:11] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: also tried without new.
[04:11] <Ashfire908> can i set something system wide to not mount drives that were just connected?
[04:11] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: nothing seems to work
[04:11] <Rockinghorse> kousotu you could run the audio out to a simple tape recorder and us the outputs and adjust gain with the volume control.  This is a cheap solution
[04:11] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: what wifi card?
[04:11] <mr_dude> Teufelkind, What does /etc/X11/xorg.conf say is your video driver?
[04:11] <Ashfire908> macogw, i've devloped a workaround by running the failed commands manually in a root console
[04:11] <Azis> Thank you guys
[04:12] <Azis> see you later
[04:12] <Neural_Overload> kousotu: I dont exactly know as the card is interal in my toshiba laptop
[04:12] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: It wanted to use vesa
[04:12] <Neural_Overload> but I think the chipset is Atheros AR5001X+
[04:12] <kousotu> Rockinghorse: what you mean
[04:12] <kousotu> Rockinghorse: I am using my old PC speakers
[04:12] <Teufelkind> mr_dude: but thats all I understood
[04:12] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: that card don't work
[04:12] <Rockinghorse> Oh, can't do it with that.  Sorry!
[04:13] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: I have the same one
[04:13] <Neural_Overload> It works for WPA though
[04:13] <Neural_Overload> WEP doesnt work
[04:13] <Pelo> Neural_Overload,  in menu > system > prefs > hardware information,  if you hve the patience and a little bit of skill the card is probably listed
[04:13] <Pelo> most likely in fact
[04:13] <krzee> can someone recommend a nice gui irc client i can use in ubuntu which supports socks5?
[04:13] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: *blinks* mine won't do even WPA
[04:13] <Pelo> krzee, doesn'T xchat do it ?
[04:13] <Neural_Overload> Weird
[04:13] <Pelo> krzee,  I mean xchat regular,  not gnome-xchat
[04:13] <Neural_Overload> Mine connects to my WPA network but not this hotel's WEP
[04:13] <krzee> ahh ok ill try that
[04:14] <Neural_Overload> Anyway
[04:14] <krzee> i tried xchat-gnome and it was ugly, and when setting the proxy with /set it didnt work
[04:14] <krzee> thanx
[04:14] <Neural_Overload> I'll brb, gotta reboot in to ubuntu again
[04:14] <Naitsirk> mr_dude: when restarting the resolution was back to 1024 x... and still won't let me save configuration
[04:14] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: I hate you.. I have to use zd1211rw, it's notnice :(
[04:14] <stmiller> krzee Konversation is a good irc client
[04:14] <Naitsirk> do i need to start the nvidia gui as gksudo or something?
[04:14] <Neural_Overload> Lol, I dont know why it works
[04:14] <Neural_Overload> But it does
[04:14] <Neural_Overload> :P
[04:15] <kousotu> fiest woldn't do it, Gutsy won't either.
[04:15] <kousotu> it's all that even plays my sound
[04:15] <Neural_Overload> Weird
[04:15] <Neural_Overload> What laptop do you have?
[04:15] <Neural_Overload> I have a satellite P15-S420
[04:15] <kousotu> Acer Aspire 368-
[04:16] <kousotu> 3680*
[04:16] <twdsje> Hey how can I find out things like how much ram I have installed in my system (and speed preferably) on my system with the command line?
[04:16] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: the Vista build
[04:16] <xerawx> gui irc clients are unhep
[04:16] <Pelo> Neural_Overload,   you can check your laptop model in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport  , see if there are instrucions for you specificaly
[04:16] <xerawx> irssi or nothing imo
[04:17] <Neural_Overload> kousotu: Nope, It came pre-installed with Windows XP
[04:17] <Pelo> xerawx,  haven'T you heard,  linux isn'T just for 1337 h4x04rz anymore
[04:17] <Neural_Overload> And the GPU sucks
[04:17] <Superdaddy-o> guys
[04:17] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: MINE is the Vista build
[04:17] <Neural_Overload> OH
[04:17] <xerawx> Pelo: neither are cli irc clients...
[04:17] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,  there are gals to in thos channel
[04:17] <Superdaddy-o> im using the command to install my video driver in the terminal
[04:17] <Superdaddy-o> and it says it cant open the file
[04:18] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: LMAO
[04:18] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,  did you cd to the folder where thefile is ?
[04:18] <xerawx> from watching this channel its pretty obvious that no linux distro yet can get around using the CLI
[04:18] <Superdaddy-o> cd?
[04:18] <Superdaddy-o> i dont udnerstand
[04:18] <Superdaddy-o> this is my first time using linux
[04:19] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,  you need to change the directory to the folder where the file is located,   ei   cd /path/to/folder
[04:19] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: I am too ya know lol
[04:19] <xerawx> practically every second question is wtf is all this nonsense i have to do to get my video driver working
[04:19] <Neural_Overload> Im willing to bet that close to everyone in here is
[04:19] <Superdaddy-o> the file is on my desktop
[04:19] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: it took me a WEEK to get my wlan+ to work on XP
[04:19] <Superdaddy-o> sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.11-pkg2.run
[04:19] <Superdaddy-o> isnt that all i have to trype in the terminal to install it?
[04:19] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,  ok  you have the terminal open ?   type  cd Desktop
[04:20] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: when I moved to XP. Linux took about 20 mins :)
[04:20] <Superdaddy-o> "no such file or directory
[04:20] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,  linux is case sensitive ...
[04:21] <Superdaddy-o> oh wow... thats crazy
[04:21] <Superdaddy-o> okay
[04:21] <Superdaddy-o> thank you for that tip
[04:21] <Superdaddy-o> heh heh
[04:21] <Pelo> np
[04:21] <Neural_Overload> YEah
[04:21] <Superdaddy-o> now what?
[04:21] <Neural_Overload> Linux is REALLY easy
[04:21] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o, q so first  , cd Desktop , then  run your command
[04:21] <Neural_Overload> I love it
[04:21] <Superdaddy-o> okay
[04:22] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: I know
[04:22] <Pelo> Neural_Overload,  takes a little getting use to when you start
[04:22] <Neural_Overload> Just a bit
[04:22] <Neural_Overload> Im kind of used to command lines though
[04:22] <Superdaddy-o> it says "nvidia must be run as root ERROR*"
[04:22] <kousotu> Pelo: less than moving from Vista builds to XP lol
[04:22] <cconstantine> Does anyone know how to get drives attached to an AMD64 gigaraid built in raid controller to show up as anything but scsi emulated drives that run REALLY slow?
[04:22] <Neural_Overload> Anyway, BBIAB
[04:22] <marti149> hi guys
[04:23] <Neural_Overload> Gonna go figure out what card I have
[04:23] <kousotu> lol
[04:23] <Optimus55> I see people having problems with nvidia cards here. when i got ubuntu installed it was okay but once i got the nvidia-glx package all hell broke loose. resolution was stuck at 800x600 etc. It took me two days, an all nighter and a reinstall to fix all problems but i eventually got it all out
[04:23] <kousotu> k
[04:23] <xerawx> once you get past the learning curve linux isn't too bad.. but a lot of the problems you run into are still extremely cryptic and you'd have no idea how to fix them without the net
[04:23] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,  ok   arrow up to get your command back, then  use the arrows to get to the beginning of the command and type sudo , so you hve sudo command ....     then hit enter , you will be asked for your password
[04:23] <kousotu> damn.. I'm to slw lol
[04:23] <Optimus55> i would gladly post my xorg.conf for any other nvidia users to see but right now im in xp and cant see the ext3 partition :(
[04:24] <xerawx> yeah video drivers are a really common problem
[04:24] <Teufelkind> does anyone know how to get my NVIDA card workng with linux?
[04:24] <marti149> anyone install vmware?
[04:24] <Teufelkind> ubunut*

[04:24] <jetscreamer> #nvidia
[04:24] <kousotu> Optimus55: I have the EXE
[04:24] <xerawx> I had to reconfigure xorg-xserver like 5 times to get it going on my powerbook
[04:24] <Pelo> marti149,  I have , what 's the issue ?
[04:24] <Superdaddy-o> it says im running an x server (and how do you know all of this? thats incredible)
[04:24] <Optimus55> kousotu?
[04:24] <Superdaddy-o> how do i exit X?
[04:24] <kousotu> Optimus55: I hae the program you need
[04:24] <Teufelkind> ubotu: I'll check it out, but I am able to get most drivers running, spare my poor 8800
[04:25] <kousotu> Optimus55: lemme get you a name
[04:25] <Optimus55> okay
[04:25] <Optimus55> give me the name and i'll google it
[04:25] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,  I think you need to boot in cli mode,  not quite sure about that one, you ight have to restart in recovery mode
[04:25] <capnfantasmo> 'ello loves
[04:25] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,  herer is a quick tutorail about the command line, it will help you out   http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[04:26] <kousotu> Optimus55: Ext2IFS_1_10c.exe
[04:26] <kousotu> that's what you need
[04:26] <marti149> anyone install vmware?
[04:26] <capnfantasmo> how do I copy files from ext3 to NTFS?
[04:26] <Pelo> marti149, what do you need to know about installing vmware ?
[04:26] <Pelo> capnfantasmo,  did you first install nfts write support ?
[04:27] <Pelo> !ntfs-3g | capnfantasmo

[04:27] <Optimus55> kousotu: because i installed ubuntu on ext3
[04:27] <kousotu> Optimus55: works on ext3 too
[04:27] <marti149> keep getting something about packages having unmet dependancies
[04:28] <kousotu> Optimus55: it'swhat I use to modify linux stuff on XP
[04:28] <Teufelkind> My main problem is that I cannot access a desktop view, I am stuck in a terminal
[04:28] <Pelo> marti149,  how are you installing it ?  make it easy on yourself,  menu > apps > add /remove  search  vmware
[04:28] <IndyGunFrea> Teufelkind: have you tried startx

[04:28] <marti149> and it doesnt install
[04:28] <adam_> ive done this before but i forgot, how do you change a hdd to be written on?
[04:28] <marti149> how can I install the old version?
[04:28] <Pelo> Teufelkind,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:29] <Teufelkind> Iv tried both suggestions
[04:29] <Optimus55> kousotu: ah okay thanks
[04:29] <IndyGunFrea> Teufelkind: what error message did you get when you ran startx?
[04:29] <Pelo> marti149,  stuff that works on older version should work on the newer one are you sure you need the old one ?
[04:29] <Teufelkind> the reconfigure after I run thru it it still gives the Xserver error
[04:29] <marti149> nope I need the new one
[04:29] <Teufelkind> after startx I get the no image error
[04:30] <marti149> guess I want to reconfigure vmware
[04:30] <kousotu> Optimus55: no prob
[04:30] <Teufelkind> if I could run envy I would

[04:31] <Megaqwerty> Hi, I've been building from apt-get -b source to make sure a few apps were built completely optimized for my box, and the Update manager is telling me I have updates for those apps after I install the locally built version. It's the same version of the software, just built locally. It's a pain in the butt to uncheck them every time I want to upgrade when there actually has been one, any idea how I can stop Ubuntu from doing this?
[04:31] <unagi> adam_ !ntfs
[04:32] <kousotu> !ntfs| adam_
[04:32] <ubotu> adam_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[04:32] <kyncani> Teufelkind: xorg -configure may be able to provide a suitable default configuration
[04:32] <Superdaddy-o> what does ls stand for?
[04:32] <unagi> ah yes thank u lol
[04:32] <unagi> list?
[04:32] <Pelo> marti149, maybe the ppl in #vmware can give you a hand

[04:32] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,  I assume is stands for list
[04:32] <Superdaddy-o> okay
[04:32] <Superdaddy-o> i see my nvidia driver name
[04:33] <capnfantasmo> Pelo: after using ntfs-config it still won't let me write

[04:33] <Pelo> capnfantasmo, is your it should , are you sure that you have mounted the ntfs partition properly ?
[04:34] <capnfantasmo> well according to the disk properties I'm not the owner
[04:34] <kyncani> Teufelkind: well, if you can run the livecd, you could get its xorg.conf ?
[04:34] <capnfantasmo> how do I copy via command line?

[04:35] <kousotu> MasterShrek: I was refering to in general though
[04:35] <Pelo> kousotu, 3d capabilities depend on your card as far as I know,  and I don'T realy know much about it , check the forum
[04:35] <Superdaddy-o> im not in recovery mode
[04:35] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,  try stopx
[04:35] <kousotu> Pelo: but it can, right?

[04:35] <kousotu> Pelo: my GFX card has 3D capabilites
[04:35] <Pelo> kousotu,  yes otherwise you wouldn't be able to use compiz

[04:36] <Optimus55> check it here if ur interested http://www.digg.com/linux_unix/Unix_Linux_Cheat_Sheet
[04:36] <macogw> Pelo: you can do that?
[04:36] <Superdaddy-o> unknown job x"
[04:36] <macogw> Pelo: crazy. i always use the /etc/init.d/gdm stop way
[04:36] <macogw> Superdaddy-o: no space
[04:36] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o, please use my nick when talking to me , it makes it easier to follow
[04:36] <kousotu> Pelo: what does linux use to render gfx?
[04:37] <Pelo> macogw,  I was talking a shot ,  thanks fo the tip
[04:37] <Neural_Overload> macogw: my card is umm... this AR5212 802.11abg NIC
[04:37] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,   use  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[04:37] <Superdaddy-o> pelo - i tried both
[04:37] <macogw> Neural_Overload: you should use madwifi

[04:37] <CheeseGardener> Does anyone know about NTFS-3G????
[04:37] <hmmmsomething> hey does anyone know what this means 'Open a terminal window and navigate to driver folder' ?
[04:38] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: if that doesn't work get ndiswraper nd try that
[04:38] <Neural_Overload> Is there a way by chance that I could download a package using windows and install it?
[04:38] <macogw> CheeseGardener: what about it?
[04:38] <capnfantasmo> okay. nothing's working
[04:38] <macogw> kousotu: it depends on the card
[04:38] <CheeseGardener> is it reliable to write to NTSF?
[04:38] <Neural_Overload> Because as I said earlier I can't connect VIA Ubuntu
[04:38] <CheeseGardener> NTFS*
[04:38] <macogw> kousotu: the driver mostly
[04:38] <Pelo> hmmmsomething,  menu > applicatiosn > accessories > terminal ,  then cd /path/to/driver
[04:38] <CheeseGardener> cause I'm doing my backups through AptOnCD to an NTFS drive.
[04:38] <n0yd> I know how to change the icon for the gnome main menu, but what about the menu-bar in gnome/ubuntu?  The one with Applications|Places|System
[04:39] <hmmmsomething> k thanks
[04:39] <macogw> kousotu: for beryl/compiz/compiz fusion, on new ati cards with fglrx, glx does the compositing
[04:39] <Brap> I'm experiencing something weird with my wired nic. as soon as ubuntu starts the lights on the nic go off and the nic connection shows 0.0.0.0 as the ip. any idea on how to fix?
[04:39] <macogw> kousotu: nvidia has its own one, but you CAN use AIGLX
[04:39] <WX9J> Neural_Overload: Yes if you can save the file to a flash drive or some other VFAT so you can read it on your linux box
[04:39] <macogw> kousotu: old ati cards using the open source drivers, if they are capable of doing it overall, will use AIGLX, as will Intel
[04:39] <CheeseGardener> Brap, do you have nm-applet running?
[04:39] <Neural_Overload> I have NTFS-3g installed
[04:39] <kousotu> Neural_Overload: grab the driverfor windows and if madwifi does't work try ndiswrapper
[04:40] <Brap> what is the nm-applet?
[04:40] <CheeseGardener> Not that I know much but, I know it was giving me problems when nm-applet didn't load.
[04:40] <CheeseGardener> In your taskbar in the upper right
[04:40] <CheeseGardener> there should be some blue bars
[04:40] <Superdaddy-o> pelo - it took me to a black screen where i needed to use commands
[04:40] <WX9J> Neural_Overload: then you should be fine, I download on an xp box and save it to a vfat flash drive to use later on this one.
[04:41] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,  so you're done ? great
[04:41] <Brap> I'll have to reboot and check. thanks. all log back in on another comp later.

[04:44] <MasterShrek> or yea, i guess if u never installed it...
[04:44] <sauvin> macogw, it's what I'm used to doing, though.
[04:44] <john> well, i have two hard drives: one devoted to ubuntu i installed 24 hours ago, and the other has a windows partition (ntfs) and another ntfs partition for various files
[04:44] <macogw> Superdaddy-o: "superuser do"...it's like Simon Says
[04:44] <Optimus55> Hey anyone know a music player with a notifier that shows album cover etc? or at least a plugin for a music player that does that?
[04:44] <MasterShrek> Optimus55, kde has amarok
[04:44] <john> why are the ntfs partitions read only, and why are they appearing on my desktop now that i've browsed to the drives?
[04:44] <Pelo> Superdaddy-o,   sudo tells the comp that you want to run the command as root,  in other words it's for admin priviledges
[04:44] <ir8> john: what are you tring todo?
[04:44] <MasterShrek> im sure tehres a gnome prog
[04:44] <zerokill88> invalid operation reinstall
[04:45] <faileas> Optimus55: amarok
[04:45] <B123> Hello. Can someone tell me if i can find a bluetooth Text sender for my phone?
[04:45] <kousotu> john: festy should be able to mount that after you first instal
[04:45] <CheeseGardener> macogw, I know that AptOnCD isn't a restore.
[04:45] <Superdaddy-o> pelo - ahhhhh okay. cool
[04:45] <macogw> Optimus55: banshee does
[04:45] <MasterShrek> !ntfs3g | john
[04:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs3g - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:45] <Pelo> !ntfs | john
[04:45] <ubotu> john: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[04:45] <Optimus55> macogw: whats banshee?
[04:45] <john> thanks.
[04:45] <CheeseGardener> but all I'm asking is, is NTFS-3G reliable enough in write support for NTFS
[04:45] <CheeseGardener> does it work consistently?
[04:46] <Pelo> john,  fyi, as you can see this is a busy channel, please ask your questions in one line,  don'T use the enter key for punctuation
[04:46] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, its made solely for compatiblity, obviously youll have better luck with a linux fs
[04:46] <CheeseGardener> because I'm backing up my .ISOs to a NTFS drive.
[04:46] <faileas> CheeseGardener: in my experience yes *PROVIDED* windows shutdown properly. else it won't mount at all.
[04:46] <zerokill88> pelo i installed build-essential and i still get   checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
[04:46] <macogw> Optimus55: its a music player for gnome
[04:46] <Pelo> CheeseGardener,  ntfs-3g is not perfect
[04:46] <CheeseGardener> what problems does it have?
[04:46] <john> pelo: ok, will do :)
[04:46] <MasterShrek> yea CheeseGardener make sure your windows isnt hibernating or sleeping or whatever
[04:46] <Optimus55> MasterShrek: the notifier is built in in Amarok or do i need a plugin or sum?
[04:46] <CheeseGardener> and is there a better program?
[04:46] <faileas> i wouldn't suggest it as a primary, more like " i need to get crap off my windows drive" ;)
[04:46] <Pelo> zerokill88,  what command are you trying to execute ?
[04:46] <macogw> Optimus55: if you give it the album art, when the song starts, it should show title, artist, and album art (maybe album name too) and itll also show when you mouseover the banshee icon in the notification area
[04:47] <nj786> i wanna download a game from the internet but i dono if it will work on ubuntu
[04:47] <Optimus55> mmacowg:.. ahhh! thanks!
[04:47] <MasterShrek> what do u mean notifier Optimus55? it displays your album cover
[04:47] <zerokill88> !pastebin
[04:47] <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)
[04:47] <Pelo> CheeseGardener,   ntfs support in linux was retro engineered,   cause MS doens'T play nice with others  ntfs-3g is pretty much the best there is atm
[04:47] <sauvin> nj786, what's the game?
[04:47] <MasterShrek> Optimus55, audacious has alot of plugins too, youll prolly find what u want with that
[04:47] <zerokill88> pelo http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32713/
[04:47] <Pelo> nj786,  check on the site to see what the requirements are
[04:47] <kousotu> Pelo: does that suprise you?
[04:47] <Neural_Overload> GAH! I'm just gonna have to get my wireless working at home...
[04:47] <Neural_Overload> :P
[04:47] <nj786> sauvin: age of empires II, and Carbon Poker
[04:48] <CheeseGardener> Ok, but what is the "not perfect" part about NTFS-3G?
[04:48] <Pelo> kousotu, no I was just stating a fact
[04:48] <MasterShrek> Neural_Overload, what kinda card?
[04:48] <CheeseGardener> what doesn't it write well?
[04:48] <sauvin> Age of Empires is downloadable?
[04:48] <xerawx> it fails miserably right when you need it most
[04:48] <nj786> sauvin: yes demo
[04:48] <xerawx> (just guessing)
[04:48] <sauvin> is it a Windows game?
[04:48] <nj786> sauvin: i think
[04:48] <jonc101> Hey I got a quick question, why does Nautilus behave so badly when browsing files/folders on a Windows Share?
[04:48] <john> my ntfs partitions are automatically mounted - i see them in Computer and now that i've browsed to them, i see them on the desktop. however, they're read only. i also don't like them on the desktop, but when i right-click on them from the desktop the only thing i can see to take it off is to unmount (not what i'm after)
[04:48] <sauvin> Where did you download it from?
[04:48] <macogw> sauvin: yes. its like Wesnoth but real-time not turn-based
[04:48] <yum_> how do i prevent screen from allowing people to hide their utmp entries?
[04:48] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, you probably wont have a problem, but its not for sure cuz its a proprietary filesystem
[04:48] <Vinchenzo28> how do i get beryl to auto start?
[04:48] <Optimus55> MasterShrek: sorry i used winamp a long time so i have a 'notifier' plugin that fades a little box in, with song name, artist and album cover, etc
[04:49] <macogw> john:  you need NTF-3G and need to edit /etc/fstab to reflect that
[04:49] <sauvin> In other words, nj786 is up against learning how to use wine.
[04:49] <nj786> sauvin: i downloaded carbon poker @ carbonpoker.com, but the file was .exe and it didnt work
[04:49] <Pelo> zerokill88,  what is that for , what are you tring to do ?
[04:49] <MasterShrek> audacious does that, it looks just like classic winamp too
[04:49] <macogw> Vinchenzo28: add it to system > pref > sessions > startup
[04:49] <CheeseGardener> would it be a better idea to write the file to linux, and move over to the drive?
[04:49] <zerokill88> pelo its Linux From Scratch, building a custtom linux
[04:49] <CheeseGardener> the NTFS drive that is?
[04:49] <macogw> Vinchenzo28: i suggest adding beryl-manager, not just beryl
[04:49] <hmmmsomething> are there any tutorials out there on how to get your wireless internet working? i'm really not getting anywhere..
[04:49] <Pelo> macogw,  the ntfs3g-config thiny will edit fstab
[04:49] <Vinchenzo28> ok
[04:49] <macogw> Pelo: oh. nice!
[04:49] <sauvin> nj786, I can't help with this, but your only immediately available option, as far as I can tell, is to try to run these products under wine.
[04:49] <Pelo> zerokill88,  ask in ##linux they are better at this stuff
[04:49] <zerokill88> pelo ok
[04:49] <MasterShrek> hmmmsomething, what kind of card do u have?
[04:50] <macogw> Pelo: i assumed it was do-it-yourself...usually things are
[04:50] <john> macogw: ntf-3g, is that some type of manager for ntfs partitions? how do i get/enable it?
[04:50] <Pelo> macogw,  there is a seperate package you intall with the config thingy
[04:50] <SineFato> hello everyone
[04:50] <nj786> sauvin: how do i open up wine?
[04:50] <Pelo> bbl
[04:50] <MasterShrek> !wine | nj786
[04:50] <ubotu> nj786: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:50] <GamingX> john:sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[04:50] <hmmmsomething> my card is a  Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX (rev 02)
[04:50] <john> GamingX: thanks
[04:51] <Flannel> john: install ntfs-config, and there'll be a menu entry for it
[04:51] <dibblego> can I take a shot of my monitor over time as a flash animation or something?
[04:51] <john> ok
[04:51] <MasterShrek> hmmmsomething, im not sure how good a 4401 will work, check #bcm-users, you might have to wait awhile for a response though...
[04:51] <xerawx> i'm cruisin right through this stack of dvd-r.. i just have that feeling like my hard drive is about to fail, you know..
[04:51] <hmmmsomething> ok
[04:51] <hmmmsomething> thanks
[04:51] <xerawx> i can just sense it
[04:51] <Flannel> dibblego: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts
[04:51] <SineFato> I'm installing Ubuntu now and trying to set up the partitions but being new to all this I'm not sure how I should set it up. Any help would be appreciated
[04:51] <MasterShrek> dibblego, like a video?
[04:51] <dibblego> Flannel, thanks
[04:51] <dibblego> MasterShrek, yes
[04:51] <MasterShrek> dibblego: try xvidcap
[04:52] <CheeseGardener> Also too, I am talking about an NTFS external USB hard drive.  Does NTFS-3G work well with external hard drives when writing to them?  Windows is NOT on this external hard drive.. obviously.
[04:52] <MasterShrek> i dont know if its in the repositories tho lol, but it does what you are trying to do
[04:52] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, it shold work
[04:52] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: External and internal drives will work the same
[04:52] <macogw> CheeseGardener: yeah sure.  why not make it ext3 though? is your windows install Vista or something?
[04:52] <GamingX> john:After installing Applications>System tools>NTFS Configuration tool>Enable write support for internal device/Enable write support for external drive
[04:52] <binarydigit> CheeseGardener: ntfs-3g doesnt care where your hd is
[04:52] <marc> how do you run adeptmanager as room?
[04:52] <macogw> marc: sudo it
[04:53] <CheeseGardener> Well I already have files on it is the problem
[04:53] <john> GamingX: thanks, i was wondering where that menu item was...
[04:53] <CheeseGardener> and I don't have the room to move them somewhere else.
[04:53] <macogw> CheeseGardener: oh ok
[04:53] <marc> macogw: sudo adeptmanager ?
[04:53] <macogw> marc: yeah
[04:53] <GamingX> john: what menu item?
[04:53] <Superdaddy-o> guys
[04:53] <Superdaddy-o> why am i having this problem?.
[04:53] <marc> macno such command
[04:53] <stmiller> anyone ever have trouble with ustream pages crashing Firefox in Ubuntu?
[04:53] <Superdaddy-o> im trying to install my driver
[04:53] <macogw> Superdaddy-o: what problem?
[04:53] <sauvin> Cheesegardner, don't you have a USB drive?
[04:53] <Superdaddy-o> and the stupid "x server" is screwing everything up
[04:54] <marc> how do you run adeptmanager as root?
[04:54] <CheeseGardener> So there isn't a windows file system on the drive.  So will NTFS-3G work well with writing to the external hard drive????
[04:54] <GamingX> !adeptmanager|
[04:54] <SineFato> excuse me, What file system should I use when installing Ubuntu? Also do I want a logical or primary partition? I'm doing duel boot and this is the second
[04:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about adeptmanager - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:54] <CheeseGardener> Or were you talking about problems writing an a windows hard drive???
[04:54] <macogw> marc: well sudo exists, i assure you. but since its a gui app, you would use "kdesu" now i think about it
[04:54] <binarydigit> CheeseGardener: what kind of file system is on the drive then
[04:54] <macogw> SineFato: ext3
[04:54] <CheeseGardener> NTFS
[04:54] <shem> hi.   am I retarded or is there a problem with writing to an external hard drive?    or is there an easy way to enable the permisions to windows?  my mission is to transfer some iso's to windows .  any way I can
[04:54] <GamingX> SineFato: I used ext3
[04:54] <binarydigit> CheeseGardener: ok so use ntfs-3g
[04:54] <macogw> shem: if its ntfs, you need ntfs-3g
[04:54] <marc> macogw: doesnt work?
[04:54] <macogw> marc: is adeptmanager the right command?
[04:54] <shem> i partitions an ex3 on it
[04:55] <CheeseGardener> Right but, I heard NTFS-3G has problems...
[04:55] <shem> partitioned
[04:55] <john> GamingX: the ntf-3g install that should be in the menu is what i meant. anyways, i ran the command, entered the password and told it to install. in the terminal it says it installed, but i don't see it anywhere
[04:55] <marc> macogw: no it says command not found
[04:55] <macogw> CheeseGardener: works fine AFAIK
[04:55] <macogw> marc: are you using kde or gnome?
[04:55] <marc> macogw: gnome
[04:55] <SineFato> macogw: What about the partition? do i make it primary or logical?
[04:55] <macogw> marc: oh.  why are you using adept?
[04:55] <GamingX> john:goto Applications
[04:55] <macogw> marc: thats usually for kde
[04:55] <Optimus55> just wondering also, are there any full screen media centers available for ubuntu?
[04:55] <marc> macogw: what should you use?
[04:55] <macogw> marc: Synaptic is the GNOME one
[04:56] <macogw> Optimus55: mythtv
[04:56] <Optimus55> similar to windows media center in vista
[04:56] <thecross> On startup, is there a way to display the processes as they load?
[04:56] <binarydigit> CheeseGardener: works fine for me, i dualboot between windows and use it without a problem
[04:56] <GamingX> john: System Tools>NTFS configuration Tool
[04:56] <CheeseGardener> can windows read EXT3?
[04:56] <GamingX> CheeseGardener:Nope
[04:56] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: No (well, except with third party drivers)
[04:56] <binarydigit> CheeseGardener: http://www.fs-driver.org/
[04:56] <CheeseGardener> Well I sometimes have to shift files onto windows systems.
[04:57] <Optimus55> thanks
[04:57] <CheeseGardener> So it is either NTFS or FAT32
[04:57] <CheeseGardener> and it is already in NTFS
[04:57] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: or NTFS with ntfs-3g
[04:57] <binarydigit> how big if the drive
[04:57] <binarydigit> is*
[04:57] <CheeseGardener> I have NTFS-3G
[04:57] <sauvin> Is the windows ext2 driver RW or just RO?
[04:57] <GamingX> CheeseGardener:Use ntfs-3g
[04:57] <CheeseGardener> I just wanted to know if it was reliable.
[04:57] <shem> my external hd is formated to ext3 and I still cant get the permisions on.   is that the same problem thats preventing me from just dragging and dropping to windows?
[04:57] <kousotu> rw
[04:57] <fine_device> is there anybody who can help me out about virtualbox usb issuer?
[04:57] <GamingX> john:Did you find it?
[04:57] <kousotu> sauvin: it can wite
[04:57] <john> GamingX: Applications should be a menu right? (earlier today i changed the layout. it's kind of more windows-style now...)
[04:58] <kousotu> [21:57]  <-- Superkuh has left this server (Nick collision from services.). <ghost?
[04:58] <Fr33sc4p3Guest> WHERE CAN U GET A SOURCE FROM
[04:58] <Superkuh> Yes.
[04:58] <kousotu> Fr33sc4p3Guest: watch the cpas
[04:58] <GamingX> john:what linux version do you have?
[04:58] <Fr33sc4p3Guest> sorry
[04:58] <john> GamingX: i have a ubuntu logo like a start button.
[04:58] <Optimus55> macogw: hey mythtv is great, but i'm looking for something more for music, not really tv, any suggestions?
[04:58] <kousotu> Fr33sc4p3Guest: and fid in SRC for packages
[04:58] <Falstius> fine_device: I think the opensource version of virtual box doesn't have USB support.
[04:58] <john> 7.4
[04:59] <Justi1> where can I get the GLib 2.0 development headers?
[04:59] <macogw> Optimus55: it does music too
[04:59] <macogw> Optimus55: and dvd's
[04:59] <macogw> Optimus55: its a full media center
[04:59] <n0yd> I know how to change the icon for the gnome main menu, but what about the menu-bar in gnome/ubuntu?  The one with Applications|Places|System
[04:59] <kousotu> macogw: DVDs won't work for me :(
[04:59] <n0yd> macogw, get libdvdcss
[05:00] <Optimus55> macogw: ahhh okay now seeing  that, thanks
[05:00] <macogw> n0yd: not me, kousotu!
[05:00] <kousotu> lol
[05:00] <GamingX> john:It is usually found in the upper left corner, but as you have changed i have no idea...
[05:00] <CheeseGardener> windows can only read FAT32 and NTFS right?
[05:00] <macogw> kousotu: add the medibuntu repos and then apt-get libdvdcss and libdvdread3
[05:00] <Flannel> fatalcure: source for what?
[05:00] <n0yd> err kousotu. Sry
[05:00] <kousotu> macogw: I' watching anywas
[05:00] <kousotu> lol
[05:00] <macogw> CheeseGardener: by default
[05:00] <Flannel> fatalcure: sorry, ignore that.
[05:00] <macogw> CheeseGardener: http://fs-driver.org has ext2 (works for ext3 too) drivers for XP
[05:01] <kousotu> how do you add the medibutnus?
[05:01] <Optimus55> macogw: wait is this for windows or linux?
[05:01] <macogw> !medibuntu | kousotu
[05:01] <ubotu> kousotu: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[05:01] <john> GamingX: sorry for the confusion, i figured out what you meant. i replaced the Menu Bar with the Main Menu, as seen in the Add to Panel thing
[05:01] <macogw> Optimus55: mythtv? its for linux
[05:01] <macogw> Optimus55: its in the repositories, i think
[05:01] <faileas> CheeseGardener: there's reiser, HPFS (OS X) and ext2/3 drivers actually, for windows
[05:02] <CheeseGardener> I see.
[05:02] <macogw> faileas: i thought osx's was called HFS+
[05:02] <CheeseGardener> Well, I don't always have the luxury of a system that has all the drivers on it.
[05:02] <kousotu> macogw:
[05:02] <kousotu> Package libdvdcss is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:02] <kousotu> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[05:02] <kousotu> is only available from another source
[05:02] <kousotu> E: Package libdvdcss has no installation candidate
[05:02] <kousotu> kousotu@demonZ:~$
[05:02] <faileas> macogw: i don't regularly use a mac ;p
[05:02] <Optimus55> macogw: okay thanks
[05:02] <CheeseGardener> Sometimes I'm copying to a university computer.
[05:02] <xerawx> Yeah Mac OS X is HFS+
[05:02] <CheeseGardener> They only have NTFS and FAT32 I think.
[05:02] <macogw> kousotu: after adding the medibuntu repos
[05:02] <macogw> kousotu: and after updating the listing
[05:02] <CheeseGardener> BUT... they recently added 10 new computers with linux to my university.
[05:03] <faileas> CheeseGardener: IFS and raw file drivers. believe me i have all those supported on my system ;p
[05:03] <GamingX> How do you configure weather for your city using the weather tool in the panel?
[05:03] <john> anyways, i've looked through the menus - even added back the Menu Bar and looked under Applications, and i don't see System Tools or NTFS configuration tool anywhere
[05:03] <macogw> GamingX: right click
[05:03] <kousotu> how do you ad the repos?
[05:03] <macogw> kousotu: system > admin > software source
[05:03] <Falstius> john: you can run it from the command line, just sudo ntfs-config
[05:04] <sauvin> :blink: There's a "weather tool"?
[05:04] <IdleOne> !repos | kousotu
[05:04] <ubotu> kousotu: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[05:04] <macogw> sauvin: the gnome weather applet
[05:04] <sauvin> Oh. No such thing for KDE?
[05:04] <john> Falstius: thanks
[05:04] <kousotu> macogw: add http://www.medibuntu.org/ ?
[05:04] <CheeseGardener> why is EXT3 better than NTFS?
[05:05] <kousotu> CheeseGardener: ext3 doesn't fragment
[05:05] <xerawx> so basically fat32 is still the only file system both windows and linux can natively read AND write to with any amount of reliability
[05:05] <krzee> journaling, no need for defrag
[05:05] <jonc101> does anyone know why when im browsing a windows share from ubuntu using nautilus about 90% of the time the share becomes inaccessible after 15seconds and im no longer able to see files on that share
[05:05] <john> when i try running sudo ntfs-config, it says ntfs-config not found
[05:05] <sauvin> Linux doesn't read or write FAT32 "natively", it just does it well.
[05:05] <Flannel> john: once you install it, there should be a menu entry in administration
[05:05] <Falstius> john: install it.  apt-get install ntfs-config
[05:06] <Falstius> john: er, sudo apt-get install ntfs-config
[05:06] <xerawx> thats true sauvin, i should have said "out of the box"
[05:06] <john> ooh, i did sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[05:06] <agent47a> i need to do Internet Connection Sharing on Ubuntu Feisty.  Any advice?  Is there a Ubuntu-way of doing this?
[05:06] <GamingX> john: you have not installed 'ntfs-3g config'
[05:06] <RadiantFire> agent47a: you can configure some of it using the Firestarter firewall
[05:06] <Falstius> sauvin: support for it is in the kernel ... that is as native as it gets.
[05:06] <krzee> you can lose data in a power failure with ntfs, in a journaled os that doesnt happen
[05:07] <RadiantFire> ntfs is a journaled fs
[05:07] <sauvin> In the kernal? when did THIS happen?
[05:07] <krzee> err journaled fs
[05:07] <krzee> ntfs is journaled??
[05:07] <RadiantFire> yes
[05:07] <Optimus55> !ext3
[05:07] <ubotu> ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org
[05:07] <N3432> yes it is.
[05:07] <krzee> i didnt know that
[05:07] <sauvin> Show evidence. I disbelieve.
[05:07] <kousotu> macogw: how do you add GUtsy?
[05:07] <RadiantFire> fat is not journaled
[05:07] <B123> Hello. Im trying to get it so that I can send and get texts on my computer threw my bluetooth phone, I have a Moto Razr and i have a bluetooth card in my computer, I was just curious if someone could please help me out and figure out how to get the two working together?
[05:07] <agent47a> RadiantFire:  okay, is firestarter in the repositories?
[05:07] <kousotu> e.. for gutsy?
[05:07] <RadiantFire> agent47a: yes
[05:08] <CheeseGardener> does the EXT3 driver for windows work well?
[05:08] <GamingX> john:did you install it?
[05:08] <n0yd> yes
[05:08] <n0yd> Very well
[05:08] <kousotu> CheeseGardener: yes, perfectly
[05:08] <Falstius> sauvin: here http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/vfat.html
[05:08] <RadiantFire> CheeseGardener: its actually an ext2 driver, so you don't get journalling
[05:08] <n0yd> It is actually a ext2 driver
[05:08] <RadiantFire> but yes it works well
[05:08] <n0yd> It will disregard/ruin the ext3 journal
[05:08] <CheeseGardener> what do you mean by journaling?
[05:08] <kousotu> macogw: medibuntu doen't have a gutsy list?
[05:08] <john> GamingX: yah, i installed it. for some reason it's still not in the menu, but i simply went into terminal and did "sudo ntfs-config" and it worked :)
[05:08] <N3432> B123, bitpim
[05:08] <macogw> kousotu: youre using gutsy?
[05:09] <kousotu> macogw: yea
[05:09] <n0yd> gusty*
[05:09] <HHP2K> Hey guys, how do I cd into a CD-ROM drive?
[05:09] <kousotu> macogw: only one that playsmy sound
[05:09] <RadiantFire> journalling keeps a record of filesystem operations in the event the fs is left in a corrupted state, so you don't have to scan the entire filesystem if it is left damaged
[05:09] <N3432> HHP2K, you don't ?
[05:09] <krzee> the nice thing about windows is it does not just crash, it pops up a little window so you can click ok first
[05:09] <krzee> lol
[05:09] <macogw> kousotu: 1. you should be on #ubuntu+1 2. feisty's should work fine 3. 3rd party repos dont start up til it's actually *released*
[05:09] <HHP2K> ... you don't?
[05:09] <N3432> HHP2K, nope
[05:09] <HHP2K> Why not?
[05:09] <N3432> you just don't lol.
[05:09] <HHP2K> Sucks.
[05:09] <kousotu> macogw: I am in +1
[05:09] <HHP2K> Thanks then
[05:09] <N3432> yezzir. ya digg?
[05:09] <kousotu> macogw: no one there
[05:09] <macogw> ahh
[05:09] <macogw> well just use the feisty ones
[05:10] <RadiantFire> wait?
[05:10] <macogw> it just a codec, its not like it matters
[05:10] <kousotu> macogw: thanks
[05:10] <RadiantFire> why did you tell him that?
[05:10] <sauvin> Wow. I knew I was out of date, Falstius, but this is just freaking pathetic. I had NO IDEA they'd moved it into the kernal.
[05:10] <B123> Does bitpim cost me anything to use?
[05:10] <N3432> B123, nope
[05:10] <B123> N3432 jw since it works with CDMA phones only. which is fine, i have alltel
[05:11] <N3432> B123, which is alltell
[05:11] <jonc101> can anyone help me out with a network share problem with nautilus?
[05:11] <kersinc> #ubuntu-es
[05:11] <CheeseGardener> ok
[05:11] <CheeseGardener> and linux can fix the file system easily in EXT3?
[05:11] <B123> N3432 jits CMDA =D
[05:11] <CheeseGardener> in case it breaks?
[05:11] <N3432> B123, IT IS CMDA
[05:11] <kousotu> macogw: can ubuntu see bluetoth stuff?
[05:11] <kousotu> bluetoth*
[05:11] <GamingX> I downloaded several torrents using the default ubuntu bittorrent, I never stopped them just closed them will it be running in the background?
[05:11] <Haz> how would i get my username to login automatically?
[05:11] <john> it appears the ntfs drives are still read-only, even though i clicked checked the box to make it writable
[05:11] <Falstius> sauvin: yeah, about 11 yars ago.
[05:12] <Optimus55> ubuntu comes with a bit torrent client??
[05:12] <GamingX> john:did you get any error?
[05:12] <john> no, but i'll try it again
[05:12] <GamingX> Optimus55: Yes
[05:12] <B123> n3432 and this goes threw my bluetooth?
[05:12] <Optimus55> Gamingx: which?
[05:12] <Falstius> john: might require root permissions to write to it by default.  You can change that.
[05:12] <neozonz> how do i install the mplayer svn?
[05:12] <N3432> B123, yezzir
[05:12] <magic_ninja> is there a better utility then soundconverter for converting sound, i'm constantly getting gstreamer errors
[05:12] <GamingX> Optimuss55:Feisty Fawn...
[05:12] <Optimus55> GamingX: which client i mean
[05:13] <IdleOne> how do i start virtualbox GUI?
[05:13] <sauvin> neozonz, why do you want the svn? Why not use synaptic?
[05:13] <CheeseGardener> so, using journaling, linux can easily fix the EXT3 file system?  How would linux know it is broken?  Through "check disk"?  And if it was broken, how does linux fix it?  What would I have to run to fix it?
[05:13] <magic_ninja> !ogg

[05:13] <neozonz> sauvin, i'm having trouble playing a ffdshow file, and i asked for help in #mplayer and they said grab the svn
[05:13] <RequinB4> Is there a quick way to install the correct drivers/make the sound work for integrated intel audio
[05:13] <sauvin> CheeseGardner, as I understand it, the purpose of journaling is to make it so fixes can happen on-the-fly.
[05:14] <macogw> CheeseGardener: doesnt generally break to begin with because of journalling, but every 30-ish boots, it does fsck
[05:14] <N3432> computers
[05:14] <N3432> lol
[05:14] <capitalidea> Now that I have compiled my own ALSA on AMD64 Feisty sound no longer works for flash movies in Firefox (I used Kilz script and before the alsa compile this was working fine)
[05:14] <macogw> RequinB4: that's broken again?
[05:14] <GamingX> Optimuss55:I dont know but whenever I download a torrent it automatically opens up, my guess is bittorrent...
[05:14] <RequinB4> apparently
[05:14] <kousotu> wot, no kernal update :)
[05:14] <B123> n3432 how do i get it to connect?
[05:14] <Optimus55> okay
[05:14] <kousotu> woot*
[05:14] <N3432> B123, uhhh set the comp port correctly ,im not sure in linux i use winblowz
[05:14] <sauvin> The folks in #mplayer may not be sensitive to the fact that some distros are package manager based, like ubuntu. Try grabbing mplayer from synaptic.
[05:14] <B123> oh =/
[05:15] <john> ooh, i see the issue: i checked "enable write support for external device" - but the checkbox for "enable write support for internal device" is disabled!
[05:15] <sauvin> And then, you may want to bop over to the mplayer home page, grab and install the codecs.
[05:15] <hmmmsomething> can someone help me decypher what to do on this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=466764 under 'How to get wireless working' i don't understand how to do the third step.
[05:15] <SkiGuy> hey all - i'm having some trouble sharing my printer from my ubuntu box to my xp box - Printing works fine from the ubuntu box. Sharing files works fine between the two computers, but i can't see the shared printer
[05:15] <neozonz> sauvin, i have to get the codecs?
[05:15] <GamingX> when gutsty is released will I be updated from feisty fawn?
[05:15] <sauvin> neozonz, sure, why not?
[05:15] <john> so, um, how do i enable that checkbox? do i have to unmount my two ntfs partitions first?
[05:15] <neozonz> when i install the mplayer synaptics it doesn't automatically install them?
[05:15] <sauvin> With the codecs, there's damn near NOTHING that mplayer won't do.
[05:16] <RequinB4> I looked here but i'm not sure its the right tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[05:16] <capitalidea> No one has any ideas for me? Not a single one?
[05:16] <CheeseGardener> macogw: so when it does fsck, it will check and fix the file system with the use of journaling????
[05:16] <Falstius> john: that option should be enabled if you have an internal ntfs drive mounted.
[05:16] <sauvin> neozonz, no, because some of those codecs have ambiguous legal concerns attached.
[05:16] <GamingX> john:no ntfs-3g automatically unmounts and remounts....
[05:16] <macogw> CheeseGardener: it checks that the journalling is correct and fixes if its not
[05:16] <neozonz> sauvin, i did apt-get install mplayer
[05:16] <neozonz> is that the same as the synaptics
[05:16] <sauvin> As far as I'm concerned, YES.
[05:16] <B123> n3432 ah it says its not a connectable port.
[05:17] <john> i can see the two ntfs partitions
[05:17] <Juanfer2k> hiya-ll
[05:17] <CheeseGardener> ok
[05:17] <macogw> CheeseGardener: for example, when Vista moved the pointers for all of my files to be a few bits off, fsck put them all back in the right place to make Ubuntu bootable again (i ran fsck from a live cd because of the not-bootability)
[05:17] <sauvin> There's something else... what is it... OH! if you want DVD support, you'll have to install libdvdcss and read some instructions on how to enable it.
[05:17] <krzee> and if you want mp3s to play
[05:17] <krzee> that took a good 2 mins of googling ;] 
[05:18] <neozonz> sauvin, so i grab http://www3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20061022.tar.bz2 , then untar it then what? :o
[05:18] <RequinB4> so does anyone have some quick advice with un-breaking the sound for intel integrated audio, or i might have to just wait till update
[05:18] <capitalidea> RequinB4: I have intel integrated sound, ALC888
[05:18] <magic_ninja> is there a better utility then soundconverter for converting sound, i'm constantly getting gstreamer errors
[05:18] <capitalidea> What is your problem?
[05:18] <HHP21> hey guys, how do I uninstall a program I installed with wine?
[05:18] <GamingX> john: If you have enabled write support for internal device, then the drives will be write able....
[05:18] <sauvin> Then copy all the codecs to /usr/local/lib/codecs
[05:18] <RequinB4> no sound... I think its the lack of java
[05:18] <magic_ninja> HHP21: just use wine to run the uninstall file
[05:18] <RequinB4> drivers
[05:18] <RequinB4> *
[05:18] <RequinB4> not java
[05:19] <john> GamingX: i can see the two ntfs drives, but the checkbox is still disabled.
[05:19] <capitalidea> RequinB4: no sound in what?
[05:19] <RequinB4> anything
[05:19] <GamingX> john: Did you try clicking on the checkbox?
[05:19] <HHP21> magic_ninja: I don't know where wine installed the program. :P
[05:19] <CheeseGardener> I see.
[05:19] <capitalidea> Did you follow the tut?
[05:20] <CheeseGardener> so when does NTFS-3G not work generally?  is it safe to move ALL my files with NTFS-3G to another hard drive?
[05:20] <RequinB4> I found this but i'm not sure its what i'm looking for
[05:20] <john> GamingX: yes, i just tried. it's truly disabled. :(
[05:20] <RequinB4> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[05:20] <Falstius> john: are you running it with sudo?
[05:20] <john> Falstius: yes
[05:20] <magic_ninja> HHP21: it will be in /home/<yourusername/.wine/c_drive
[05:20] <capitalidea> RequinB4: did you complete that tutorial?
[05:20] <sauvin> CheeseGardner, I've used ntfs-3g to transfer terabytes of files from a ntfs partitions to ext3.
[05:20] <RequinB4> not yet
[05:20] <Falstius> john: yeah, it won't run without.  Was just a wild guess :)
[05:20] <kousotu> john does sudo -i work?
[05:20] <capitalidea> RequinB4: do that and come back
[05:20] <RequinB4> k
[05:20] <CheeseGardener> And has it worked well sauvin?
[05:21] <sauvin> I wasn't able to spot any problems... and I DID look.
[05:21] <B123> how can i tell what program is using my usb adress?
[05:21] <nexous> Hi, I'm currently dualbooting xp & feisty. If I remove feisty partitions will it remove bootloader and go straight to xp?
[05:21] <capitalidea> I get no sound in flash I wish I could get some help with this
[05:21] <john> kousotu: no, same issue. good tip though...
[05:21] <Falstius> nexous: no
[05:21] <kousotu> john: thx :P)
[05:21] <kousotu> john: thx :) *
[05:21] <faileas> nexous: no, you will need to reinstall the windows bootloader from the CD
[05:21] <HHP21> magic_ninja: I don't see a .wine in that folder.. ?
[05:21] <macogw> nexous: no
[05:21] <sauvin> nexous, when I did that to $some_freaking_distro_or_other, just removed partitions brute-force with fdisk, GRUB was still there.
[05:21] <nexous> faileas: So would I just select hte repair option from windows?
[05:21] <GamingX> john: see if you can find something here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions/ThirdPartyNTFS3G#head-2c7884fc22e351f4e9c0b2043037a0e1faafd783
[05:21] <macogw> nexous: insert xp cd, boot from it, go to console, and type "fixmbr"
[05:21] <B123> im trying to figure out what program is using my usb::002::002::0
[05:21] <B123> how can i?
[05:22] <Falstius> B123: you might be able to us lsof
[05:22] <nexous> macogw: How do i get to console ?
[05:22] <yum_> how do i prevent screen from allowing people to hide their utmp entries?
[05:23] <macogw> nexous: no idea. when you boot from the xp cd the option is somewhere. i dont use windows
[05:23] <Falstius> nexous: don't select the repair option, it will ruin your system.  For detailed help with windows stuff, this isn't really a good place to ask.
[05:23] <faileas> nexous: boot into windows CD. go to "repair console" (might be recovery) it will prompt pressing a key to do that. then you will be in a cli, type in "fixmbr" or "fixboot"
[05:23] <sauvin> nexous: from the launcher menu, try
[05:23] <B123> says no such?
[05:23] <sauvin> grr... sorry.
[05:23] <nexous> Thanks
[05:23] <CheeseGardener> is it just me or is NTFS-3G bad at guesstimating the time left to copy files to a new location?  It says like 11 hours left, but it already completed 1/3 of the transfer in 10 minutes??????
[05:23] <john> GamingX: i'm looking at the link you sent, brb
[05:23] <twoshadetod> anyone know why ubuntu wont show my home wifi router but windows does?
[05:24] <Falstius> B123: lsof tells you the open files.  Devices are basically just files, but you'll need to figure out what the name of that usb device is in the /sys/bus/usb (I think).
[05:24] <faileas> twoshadetod: WEP with a ralink chipset?
[05:24] <twoshadetod> anyone know why ubuntu wont show my home wifi router but windows does?
[05:24] <RudyValencia> Hello, does anyone know if SheepShaver works under Ubuntu 'feisty'?
[05:24] <twoshadetod> sorry
[05:24] <twoshadetod> it's not encrypted
[05:24] <twoshadetod> it's "open"
[05:25] <qweqweqwe> fdf
[05:25] <kousotu> RudyValencia: it might
[05:25] <qweqweqwe> oh, that's keyboard check for "hi there"
[05:25] <kousotu> RudyValencia: GIVE IT A SHOT
[05:25] <kousotu> sry caps, hit it on acident
[05:25] <RudyValencia> OK
[05:25] <RudyValencia> :D
[05:25] <qweqweqwe> CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL :-)
[05:26] <CheeseGardener> is it just me or is NTFS-3G bad at guesstimating the time left to copy files to a new location?  It says like 11 hours left, but it already completed 1/3 of the transfer in 10 minutes??????
[05:26] <faileas> RudyValencia: worth trying, if its not a very demanding app, you could try vmac, or basalisk II
[05:26] <bulmer> twoshadetod: what command did you use to show the router?
[05:26] <faileas> CheeseGardener: maybe
[05:26] <Optimus55> qweqweqwe: right...
[05:26] <sauvin> Basilisk.
[05:26] <twoshadetod> system>admin>networking
[05:26] <twoshadetod> bulmer,
[05:26] <RudyValencia> hm, maybe I could get it to run under System 7
[05:27] <qweqweqwe> I'm looking for a package named  >> libxft1 << anyone know where to get it?
[05:27] <bulmer> twoshadetod: am not a gui person..what would that do?
[05:27] <faileas> RudyValencia: minivmac has a preinstalled 7.1 disk image...
[05:27] <bulmer> twoshadetod: you were expecting a router?
[05:27] <twoshadetod> it brings up a list of routers that you can connect to wirelessly
[05:27] <faileas> i think they have it for linux too...
[05:28] <GamingX> qweqweqwe: sudo apt-get install libxfti1
[05:28] <bulmer> twoshadetod: thats not the tool to show which AP is possibly connectable does it?
[05:28] <RudyValencia> faileas: I'll try it (as I have a b/w Mac but its hard disk is kaput
[05:28] <twoshadetod> bulmer, expecting to see mine listed
[05:28] <RudyValencia> and I don't want to shock myself changing it out
[05:28] <bulmer> twoshadetod: do this instead on a terminal or xterm... iwlist wlan0 scan
[05:28] <twoshadetod> bulmer, It's a tool like that
[05:28] <Justi1> how do I make ubuntu auto-login to an account?
[05:29] <macogw> system > admin > login
[05:29] <GamingX> qweqweqwe:sudo apt-get install libxft1, sorry for the previous wrong entry....
[05:29] <macogw> theres  setting in tehre
[05:29] <bulmer> twoshadetod: do this instead on a terminal or xterm... iwlist wlan0 scan  <--  do it manually
[05:29] <Quingin> need some help trying to get ubuntu to boot. and im hoping someone here can help me. and it may be the computer. when i put the disk in it runs like normal goes through the boot process and then hangs when it tries to load the gui. it shows the splash screen that says what is loading and when that disapears and before anything else loads it locks up. any ideas? i have used this same disk to install on my laptop so i know the disk works
[05:29] <twoshadetod> wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning.
[05:29] <mzuverink> When you open a tty, it states a bunch of copyright things, where is that file so as to customize it?
[05:29] <politik> I'm having quite a bit of trouble installing using lvm/software raid using both the alternative install disk and the livecd.... any recommendations on how to do a more "manual" install?
[05:29] <qweqweqwe> GamingX: would be good if it existed on the repos :-)
[05:29] <scorbu> Hi , I'm having problems with a fresh installation on a new box :/ I cant get resolutions higher than 800x600 ... I've googled it up but cant find a fix ... anyone can help ?
[05:29] <RudyValencia> mzuverink: /etc/motd I believe
[05:29] <bulmer> twoshadetod: if your driver does not support scanning mode, you expect the gui to do the same?
[05:30] <Falstius> Quingin: have you tried using alt-f1 alt-f2 etc to see if there are any messages?
[05:30] <mzuverink> RudyValencia, Thanks, I'll check
[05:30] <faileas> RudyValencia: http://nothickmanuals.info/doku.php?id=minivmac all the way down theres a prebuilt package. i THINK its win/lin
[05:30] <twoshadetod> I expect it to be able to display a list of AP's I can connect to and give me the option to connect to them
[05:30] <Falstius> !res | scorbu
[05:30] <ubotu> scorbu: 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
[05:30] <politik> is there any way to force the livecd to install /boot and / on particular partitions?
[05:30] <RudyValencia> faileas: sheepshaver isn't a prebuilt package is it?
[05:30] <faileas> >_>
[05:30] <politik> the installer doesn't show software raid devices
[05:30] <faileas> donno, i used bask and minivmac ;p
[05:30] <bulmer> twoshadetod: well as you have said per the result of iwlist wlan0 scan  it cant scan..the gui has this command behind it
[05:31] <scorbu> Falstius , I've tried everything mentionned in this guide but it still doesnt work :
[05:31] <twoshadetod> bulmer, netstumbler in doze can "scan" I'd hate to get into symantics about the word or compaire ubuntu to windows just wanted the same functionality
[05:31] <RudyValencia> i may have to compile it
[05:31] <Quingin> it locks the whole system nothing will respond. i have gone through this process like 10 times and its right after it loads the restricted drivers.
[05:31] <twoshadetod> however that is worded.
[05:31] <Falstius> scorbu: can you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to pastebin?
[05:31] <RudyValencia> but I hope not
[05:32] <Quingin> it just got to that state and i tried the alt+f1 and alt+f2 an nothing
[05:32] <scorbu> Falstius never used pastebin before , will try :)
[05:32] <bulmer> twoshadetod: okay, you do what you wish..am telling you whats behind that command
[05:32] <Justi1> if I enable 'timed login', do I also need to enable auto-login?
[05:32] <twoshadetod> bulmer, what is a command to display what wlan0 is
[05:32] <bulmer> twoshadetod: man iwlist
[05:32] <Falstius> Quingin: you can give boot options to use a different display driver such as framebuffer (fb)
[05:33] <scorbu> Falstius it's posted ...
[05:33] <twoshadetod> bulmer, yeah i think it's not wlan0 on my machien
[05:33] <Falstius> Quingin: you'll have to check the help at the boot menu or do a google search for details (I don't know the exact syntax)
[05:33] <twoshadetod> might be why it's not "supported" but thanks

[05:33] <CheeseGardener> does linux have a defragmenter?
[05:33] <bulmer> twoshadetod: okay then use the name your nic card is recognized as
[05:33] <blind> I just got my comcast hooked up, and I have apache running, but for some reason people can't connect to me. I'm not connected to a router, so I shouldn't have to worry about ports, right?
[05:33] <Quingin> ok thanks
[05:33] <CheeseGardener> to defrag NTFS or other drive types?
[05:33] <krammer_> how do i know if i have 3 d
[05:33] <CheeseGardener> other than EXT3?
[05:33] <scorbu> Falstius,  Sorry , http://pastebin.com/m5d53a89d :)
[05:34] <faileas> CheeseGardener: linux dosen't have a defragger
[05:34] <Justi1> !timed login
[05:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about timed login - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:34] <Justi1> !auto login
[05:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about auto login - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:34] <bruenig> Justi1, just try it
[05:34] <CheeseGardener> ok
[05:35] <kousotu> !autologin
[05:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about autologin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:35] <bruenig> Justi1, set the time for something short, don't enable auto login, and see
[05:35] <kousotu> lol
[05:35] <bruenig> Justi1, then do the opposite
[05:35] <CheeseGardener> then I'm switching my NTFS drive to EXT3, so it doesn't fragment
[05:35] <Justi1> bruenig: I have downloads so ill do it when they are done
[05:35] <CheeseGardener> Otherwise, if I ever get rid of windows, I can't defrag it.
[05:35] <blind> I just got my comcast hooked up, and I have apache running, but for some reason people can't connect to me. I'm not connected to a router, so I shouldn't have to worry about ports, right?
[05:35] <twoshadetod> bulmer, yeah you were right using the other name it shows one , my neighbors but not mine, windows shows neighors and mine
[05:35] <z0rz> I can't open terminal.  It says  "Starting Terminal..." in the taskbar, and then closes without displaying an error. I just enabled the nvidia "restricted driver", did a full system update, and configured dual screens (seperate X screens).  And yes I have both monitors open and it's on neither.  Anyone know how I can fix this?
[05:35] <faileas> blind: does your ISP block port 80?
[05:35] <john> back
[05:36] <GamingX> john:find anything?
[05:36] <twoshadetod> bulmer, mine is also on chan 7 and neighbors chan 6 if this makes a diff, maybe there is a scan that scans all channels if default doesn't?
[05:36] <Falstius> scorbu: 1280x1024 should be an option in the system->preferences->Screen Resolution menu
[05:36] <blind> faileas: I had comcast previously and they didn't.. things like that don't change from region to region, do they?
[05:36] <faileas> donno
[05:36] <scorbu> Falstius It is not ...
[05:36] <faileas> but its worth a try trying to open another port and seeing
[05:36] <MasterShrek> blind, can you loopback connect to your apache?
[05:36] <Falstius> twoshadetod: if your neighbor uses 6, you should use 1 or 11.
[05:36] <scorbu> Falstius I really dont know what's goin on :S
[05:37] <blind> MasterShrek: yes
[05:37] <krammer_> how do know if i have 3 capabilities
[05:37] <john> GamingX: the link you sent provided the info i needed. it seems ntfs-config wasn't identifying my ntfs partitions, i had to go to some config file and give it some info about them. then i ran ntfs-config again and the checkbox wasn't disabled, and checked. now i'm gonna try it just to be sure...
[05:37] <bulmer> twoshadetod: iwlist with scan option will scan all channels...make sure your AP is broadcasting its essid
[05:37] <Pelo> scorbu,  did  faileas  have you edit your xorg.conf file to add the extra resolutions you want ?
[05:37] <Falstius> scorbu: maybe remove the option for Depth 32 (it isn't legal anyway)
[05:37] <faileas> pelo: er, my ubuntu installs are without X ;p
[05:37] <twoshadetod> Falstius, I'll change it when I get in
[05:38] <scorbu> Falstius I added it myself cause nvidia-settings was reporting I was at depth 32 :/ I will try to remove it but I doubt it will help
[05:38] <MasterShrek> blind, then its probably comcast blocking it
[05:38] <Falstius> twoshadetod: 1,6,11 are the only channels that don't overlap :)
[05:38] <twoshadetod> bulmer, I don't know if it is, I hope I dont have to get into it before accessing it wirelessly, do you know if i can go to windows and record that info and sort of manually make it try to find it by that?
[05:38] <scorbu> Falstius : ctrl-alt-bkspc brb
[05:38] <blind> hm.
[05:39] <Quingin> ok with the boot issue i have tried booting in safe graphics mode and it still messes up im still looking for a way to give it different display driver options but would that be it if it hangs in the same place in safe graphics mode?
[05:39] <bulmer> twoshadetod: you can try..most likely it has a web interface to configure
[05:39] <twoshadetod> bulmer, yes it does, what I mean is if I "knew" the essid could I conncet even if it isn't shown by ubuntu during a scan?
[05:39] <scorbu> Falstius, it failed
[05:39] <CheeseGardener> Other than the file system, does EXT3 call up files faster than NTFS???
[05:39] <john> GamingX: nah, still read only. what if i were to remount the partitions?
[05:40] <bulmer> twoshadetod: yes you can connect to it if you knew the essid ID
[05:40] <GamingX> john:try it...
[05:40] <john> GamingX: how?
[05:40] <izanbardprince> I prefer the JFS file system
[05:40] <z0rz> Anyone?
[05:40] <twoshadetod> bulmer, do you know what command I'd be after for that?
[05:40] <izanbardprince> very fast, extremely low CPU usage
[05:40] <GamingX> john: try unchecking the box and rechecking it....
[05:40] <bulmer> twoshadetod: actually you dont need to scan..just connect to it
[05:40] <Pelo> z0rz,  anyone what ?
[05:40] <z0rz> I can't open terminal.  It says  "Starting Terminal..." in the taskbar, and then closes without displaying an error. I just enabled the nvidia "restricted driver", did a full system update, and configured dual screens (seperate X screens).  And yes I have both monitors open and it's on neither.  Anyone know how I can fix this?
[05:40] <john> GamingX: to enable write support?
[05:40] <Falstius> scorbu: failed as in, it didn't help or that x11 wouldn't start?
[05:41] <scorbu> Falstius , It didnt help
[05:41] <GamingX> john: yeah, it might help....
[05:42] <Pelo> z0rz,  try this   alt-f2 type xterm ,  that is another terminal,   try starting gnome-terminal from there to see the error msg to know why it is not opening,   also you can use xterm to perform the tasks you need
[05:42] <john> GamingX: wow. i got this error
[05:43] <z0rz> I removed the nvidia drivers and now terminal works fine..
[05:43] <GamingX> john: what error?
[05:43] <assasukasse> hi all, there is a pc i use mainly with ssh, and only occasionally as a desktop, it has ubuntu, it there a way to make it run like "server" mode and when i need restart gdm?
[05:43] <john> GamingX: Mounting /media/disk failed. $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) Failed to mount '/dev/hda1': Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS logfile is unclean. Choose one action:    Boot Windows and shutdown it cleanly, or if you have a removable    device then click the 'Safely Remove Hardware' icon in the Windows    taskbar notification area before disconnecting it. Or    Run ntfsfix version 1.13.1 on Linux unless you have Vista. Or
[05:43] <john> Mount the NTFS volume with the 'ro' option in read-only mode.
[05:44] <john> error occured for both partitions
[05:44] <Pelo> assasukasse,  yes there is ,  but I personnaly donT' know how,  you could check the forum or wait for someone else in here to answer your quesiton
[05:44] <Lucios> hi
[05:44] <Lucios> how make extract bin file?
[05:45] <john> so, yah... i guess the option is that ntfsfix thing
[05:45] <assasukasse> thanks Pelo
[05:45] <z0rz> assasukasse: Basically you just want the windows manager to not auto start
[05:45] <krammer_> How do I know if I have 3d??
[05:45] <Lucios> it's not iso image
[05:45] <bulmer> assasukasse: what do you meant by like "server" ?
[05:45] <Pelo> Lucios,   select thefile  right click , extract here
[05:45] <GamingX> john: I kept getting these errors, I think you can try restarting your pc, reboot windows shut it down cleanly and then restarted Ubuntu, It helped.....
[05:45] <Pelo> Lucios,  are you sure it is an archive ? some bin files are executables
[05:45] <assasukasse> bulmer: z0rz: i want it to run on minimal services and w/o windows manager..
[05:46] <Lucios> i think it's execute
[05:46] <khermans> is youtube having issues?
[05:46] <GamingX> john: On the other hand ntfsfix might work, Ive never tried it...
[05:46] <scorbu> Falstius, Are you out of ideas too ?
[05:46] <CheeseGardener> Just a quick question:  When you fsck a EXT3 file system, it will check the journaling to make sure nothing is fragmented, and if something is fragmented, it will fix this fragmentation???
[05:46] <GamingX> !ntfsfix|

[05:46] <bulmer> assasukasse: what do you consider minimum services btw?
[05:46] <z0rz> assasukasse: right.. I think turnign off the autostart windows manager should be enough
[05:46] <Pelo> Lucios,   in the terminal , cd to the file folder,     sudo  ./filenname.bin
[05:46] <john> GamingX: does it matter that i was once dual booting vista and xp? then i replaced vista with ubuntu... although it still uses vista's boot loader once i tell grub to go to it?
[05:47] <Falstius> scorbu: yeah ... can't think of anything aside from digging through logs to find errors.

[05:47] <Pelo> Lucios,  are you in the correct folder ?
[05:47] <Lucios> yes
[05:48] <assasukasse> z0rz: simply sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop?
[05:48] <GamingX> john: Tell you what, i did exactly the samething, I formatted the drive containing vista and I was left with two bootloaders....do you have the same thing?
[05:48] <CheeseGardener> Just a quick question:  When you fsck a EXT3 file system, it will check the journaling to make sure nothing is fragmented, and if something is fragmented, it will fix this fragmentation???
[05:48] <Pelo> Lucios,  is the file allowed to execute ? permission wise ?   sudo chmod 755 filename.bin
[05:48] <john> GamingX: yes, i do.
[05:48] <zerokill88> how do i check if my computer is a i386?
[05:48] <assasukasse> CheeseGardener: the only fs that has an live defragmenter is xfs
[05:48] <Pelo> zerokill88,  what is your computer's cpu ?
[05:49] <krammer_> How do I know if I have 3d??
[05:49] <Lucios> Pelo: done,thanks
[05:49] <Pelo> Lucios,  you're welcome
[05:49] <john> GamingX: i tried typing ntfsfix in the terminal, it said it's not installed and to use "apt-get install ntfsprogs" to install it. so i did. then i ran the command again and this time it gave me usage instructions - essentially just to "ntfsfix dev/hda1" - then it did some stuff, including clean that log file.
[05:49] <darkshiryu> hello someone can tell me a player that support rmvb video format?
[05:49] <zerokill88> Pelo architecture
[05:49] <XiXaQ> is there an easy way to scan all files in a users home for the users username? That is, if my user is named guest001, I want to identify all references to that phrase in all documents, so that I can fix something for skel.
[05:49] <GamingX> john: try enabling the checkbox now....

[05:50] <zerokill88> pelo intel centrino duo, is there a command i can use to check
[05:50] <bulmer> assasukasse: i believe you can remove all the S99xdm in /etc/rcN.d/   where N is 2-5
[05:50] <Pelo> zerokill88,  isn't that a 64 bit chip ?
[05:51] <zerokill88> pelo i have no idea
[05:51] <Falstius> scorbu: it might be a problem with the refresh rates your monitor is reporting ...
[05:51] <zerokill88> pelo how does the livecd tell of ubuntu, what does it installed itslf as
[05:51] <Pelo> zerokill88,  I think it is ,   x86 should work on it no problem
[05:51] <marginoferror> Hmm, what a bizarre bug
[05:51] <assasukasse> bullgard4: can't i make for example an init4 that doesn't have graph mode and init5 that has it?
[05:51] <marginoferror> In Gutsy's xchat, typing the wrong thing in preferences
[05:51] <assasukasse> it was like this in kanotix
[05:51] <Pelo> zerokill88,   did you install the x86  cd or the amd 64 cd ?
[05:51] <marginoferror> Can cause keyboard input to stop working for xchat altogether
[05:52] <JKirk_> help... can anyone tell me how to get to a command prompt in ubuntu so that I can manually install the NVidia driver?  I'm using Ubuntu Ultimate 1.4 and I can't seem to boot into cmd line :(

[05:53] <Falstius> scorbu: the nvidia driver gives some options for ignoring that information from your monitor.
[05:53] <JKirk_> has a TON of stuff already built in and compiz fusion and other stuff... :)
[05:53] <marginoferror> JKirk_: I'm serious, I've never heard of "Ultimate".
[05:53] <Pelo> Lucios,  that file seems to be corrupt you need to dl it again , taht's all I can get from taht

[05:55] <Lucios> Pelo: already chmod 755 and right pasth http://pastebin.com/m3c9a592
[05:55] <Lustblader> max u can do is sudo -i

[06:01] <summer_s4> does anyone know how to emulate windows xp on ubuntu without rebooting?
[06:01] <mrtechsupport> yes
[06:01] <mrtechsupport> vmware
[06:01] <sauvin> Um... LOL... ubuntu runs rings around windows on my puny little laptop.
[06:01] <bulmer> summer_s4: yes use vmware
[06:02] <mrtechsupport> i just got ubuntu today
[06:02] <bulmer> and then install xp on vmware
[06:02] <Pelo> sauvin,  lol, I read  ubuntu run rings around windows on my little pony
[06:02] <mrtechsupport> i loveeee windows, i dual boot
[06:02] <compuniversal> mrtechsupport what kind of video card u have?
[06:02] <Lustblader> summer_s4: WINE
[06:02] <Lustblader> !wine | summer_s4
[06:02] <ubotu> summer_s4: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:02] <mrtechsupport> ati radeom mobiley 7500, compiz works on it.
[06:02] <Traeumt> i am bored of windows but can get rid of it
[06:02] <sauvin> erm... j'ai PO de chevos...!
[06:03] <z0rz> Traeumt: Same here
[06:03] <Lustblader> Traeumt: just format ur c:// drive
[06:03] <z0rz> Vista is nice.. but I love ubuntu and os x
[06:03] <Traeumt> done everythng
[06:03] <Traeumt> now just using a ubuntu
[06:03] <compuniversal> you are ready have compiz install?
[06:03] <bulmer> Traeumt: then whats the problem?
[06:03] <Traeumt> i am not logged to windows atm typing grom ubuntu
[06:03] <sauvin> z0rz, I've heard vista has tons of hardware compatibility issues.
[06:03] <Lustblader> how did xp escape a c formatting?? impossible
[06:03] <defcon> vista isnt nice, its bloatware
[06:03] <mrtechsupport> the desktop effects on 7.04
[06:03] <Traeumt> problem is ubuntu cant boot without the damn cd
[06:03] <defcon> and it isnt open source
[06:03] <Pelo> g'night folks
[06:04] <z0rz> sauvin: I've heard that about ubuntu too.. but so far it doesn't seem true
[06:04] <mrtechsupport> man i reallyyy want beryyllll some1 hook me up
[06:04] <Lustblader> Traeumt: so ur on live cd now?
[06:04] <CheeseGardener> Just a quick question:  When you fsck a EXT3 file system, it will check the journaling to make sure nothing is fragmented, and if something is fragmented, it will fix this fragmentation???
[06:04] <Traeumt> now live cd let me explain
[06:04] <bulmer> Traeumt: are you sure you installed it correctly?
[06:04] <summer_s4> does anyone know how to emulate fedora linux in ubuntu?
[06:04] <Traeumt> yeah
[06:04] <Pelo> mrtechsupport,  for help with beryl join #beryl
[06:04] <mrtechsupport> I am going to get rid of Ubuntu.
[06:04] <IdleOne> summer_s4, google for VirtualBox
[06:04] <Traeumt> i installed it and remove the cd i take this error"No boot devies found"
[06:04] <sauvin> I think you'll find that the Ubuntu folks will tend to be pretty responsive about bug reports. Hardware support might be a bit iffier because it depends on manufacturers' willingness to share details of their products' architectures and/or interfaces.
[06:05] <sauvin> "emulate"?
[06:05] <Traeumt> but when i put the cd on and choose first boot from hard disk
[06:05] <Traeumt> it boots on
[06:05] <krammer_> How do I know if I have 3d??
[06:05] <CheeseGardener> Just a quick question:  When you fsck a EXT3 file system, it will check the journaling to make sure nothing is fragmented, and if something is fragmented, it will fix this fragmentation???
[06:05] <sauvin> Why do you want to emulate Fedora under Ubunty?
[06:05] <AmiDaniel_away> Traeumt: Did you perchance remove the disc from your boot oder in your bios
[06:05] <summer_s4> is ubuntu linux verson 2.4 or 2.6?
[06:05] <AmiDaniel_away> order*
[06:05] <bulmer> CheeseGardener: learn to be patient, dont keep repeating every 5 secs
[06:05] <bung0wa> is there a ubuntu built for G4, powerpc cpus?
[06:05] <thechris> krammer_: i normally look in lsmod for nvidia or fglrx
[06:05] <Lustblader> AmiDaniel_away: bingo!!!
[06:05] <sauvin> Linux apres-midi 2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
[06:05] <Traeumt> Done it amidaniel
[06:06] <sauvin> Looks like 2.6.mumble to me, summer_s4 .
[06:06] <AmiDaniel_away> Lustblader: Hrm?
[06:06] <Traeumt> it seem like its getting boot files from Hdd atm
[06:06] <marginoferror> CheeseGardener: As far as I know, no.  fsck does not check for fragmentation.
[06:06] <Traeumt> but cant ..
[06:06] <CheeseGardener> how is it that EXT3 doesn't fragment then?
[06:06] <Lustblader> AmiDaniel_away: i think ur right.. he might have removed his HDD from the boot priority list
[06:06] <john> GamingX: back
[06:06] <wckdkl0wn> how do i refresh my desktop? i was playin a game in wine and now my screen is like really huge
[06:06] <Traeumt> nope i didnt lustblader
[06:06] <Traeumt> its at the 1st line
[06:06] <GamingX> john:did you do it?
[06:06] <marginoferror> CheeseGardener: EXT3 is built to avoid the most common cases of fragmentation right from the start.  It should only get serious fragmentation in unusual circumstances
[06:07] <Lustblader> Traeumt: how many hard discs do u have?
[06:07] <AmiDaniel_away> Traeumt: So you're able to boot the drive?
[06:07] <Kousotu> CheeseGardener: Linux defragmets on the fly
[06:07] <Traeumt> just 1
[06:07] <CheeseGardener> on the fly?  what does that mean kousotsu????
[06:07] <marginoferror> Kousotu: It does? How?
[06:07] <Traeumt> 2 parts and 1 OS(ubuntu)
[06:07] <john> went into windows, it had to do a chkdsk. restarted and went back to windows. made sure it loaded fine and all
[06:07] <marginoferror> Kousotu: I know OS X does it but I've never seen it in Linux.
[06:07] <Kousotu> as you write to it
[06:07] <Traeumt> yeah i am able to boot it with a cd
[06:07] <GamingX> john:did you shut it down properly?
[06:07] <Traeumt> other time it says " no bootable device found restart bla bla"
[06:07] <marginoferror> Kousotu: Oh, I think you mean the same thing I meant.
[06:08] <Kousotu> lmao
[06:08] <john> yah
[06:08] <AmiDaniel_away> CheeseGardener: You won't need to defragment. The drive defragments as you write to it
[06:08] <krammer_> How do I know if I have 3d??
[06:08] <CheeseGardener> Oh, nice :)
[06:08] <AmiDaniel_away> Or rather, it's not structured in a "fragmented" way like NTFS and FAT
[06:08] <GamingX> john:now try enabling it....
[06:08] <Lustblader> Traeumt: did u try reinstalling a fresh copy of ubuntu.. if it's not too much of a bother
[06:08] <AmiDaniel_away> Traeumt: What says that? Is it coming from grub?
[06:08] <tehk> so gutsy will be using traker as default! Meta data tags are going to be a great feature as default.
[06:08] <AmiDaniel_away> Or is it coming from your bios?
[06:08] <Traeumt> nope its coming from bios
[06:08] <sauvin> What are metadata tags?
[06:08] <marginoferror> CheeseGardener: ext4, the next version, uses extents and is even better.  I'm not sure it's ready for common use, though.
[06:08] <Traeumt> and i have been re instalinng ubuntu since 12.00
[06:08] <Lustblader> !extents
[06:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about extents - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:09] <AmiDaniel_away> Traeumt: What is the exact message?
[06:09] <Traeumt> its 7.08 here atm
[06:09] <sauvin> 23.09 here.

[06:09] <Kousotu> 11:09 pm
[06:09] <z0rz> sauvin: Where you from?
[06:09] <CheeseGardener> can you update your drive to EXT3?  or will I need to reformat to do that?
[06:09] <Kousotu> lol
[06:09] <bulmer> Traeumt: lets try something once the others are done..stay booted on liveCD
[06:09] <sauvin> z0rz: Chicago.
[06:09] <chowmeined> what is this about?
[06:09] <Traeumt> Exact message is "system couldnt find a bootable device insert a bootable device
[06:09] <Traeumt> okey
[06:09] <z0rz> sauvin: Nice .. and you Kousotu

[06:17] <Traeumt> 1 sec
[06:17] <AnRkey> summer_s4, in gnome terminal click edit and then keyboard shortcuts
[06:17] <AnRkey> then disable them
[06:17] <summer_s4> amidaniel_away: Telling me that you had the problome before dosn't do a thing to fix the problome
[06:17] <AmiDaniel_away> summer_s4: If you go through synaptic, I believe it will prompt you with a gui form of the license agreement
[06:17] <bulmer> dgeorge: try a reboot..see if it cures it
[06:17] <ferronica> sauvin: yes
[06:17] <Traeumt> Cant cause i am on live cd and dunno the
[06:17] <ferronica> sauvin: about Xine player
[06:17] <john> GamingX: it works!
[06:17] <Traeumt> root pass...
[06:17] <AnRkey> summer_s4, once u have disabled them try again
[06:17] <summer_s4> anrkey: one thing... i am using the "system admin" terminal
[06:18] <summer_s4> anrkey: there is no "edit" menu
[06:18] <AmiDaniel_away> summer_s4: I'm aware :) Try installing through synaptic instead of with apt-get
[06:18] <AnRkey> summer_s4, my bad, soz
[06:18] <dgeorge> ok doing that now... I have a question Im using the workspace function... is there any way to have those things load up on those workspaces after a reboot
[06:18] <bulmer> Traeumt: you just open up a terminal and try sudo su -
[06:18] <AnRkey> summer_s4, i can't think of a reason why you would not be able to ok the terms
[06:18] <john> now my only issue is that when it did the remounting... i don't see the two drives under the Computer menu. instead, i had to go straight to the partitions (such as /media/disk)
[06:18] <GamingX> john: are you able to write to it?
[06:18] <john> GamingX: yes, i am
[06:19] <bulmer> Traeumt: i cant recall on liveCD..you are root by default i believe
[06:19] <Traeumt> okey
[06:19] <GamingX> ok.. good for you
[06:19] <Traeumt> done that now i am on root bulmer
[06:19] <dgeorge> brb
[06:19] <summer_s4> i tried 83 clicking the ok, i tried alt-0, i tried alt-0-enter
[06:19] <bulmer> Traeumt: hang a few..am looking for my notes
[06:19] <Traeumt> okey
[06:19] <AmiDaniel_away> bulmer: No, you're not. But there's no root pass
[06:19] <krammer_> How do I know if I have 3d??
[06:19] <AnRkey> bulmer, don't think it's root by default
[06:20] <Traeumt> okey guys calm down i got it :D
[06:20] <AnRkey> AmiDaniel_away, yeah it's sudo command then no pass correct?
[06:20] <Traeumt> used sudo su -
[06:20] <summer_s4> anrkey: i tried every trick i knew from windows and even some i recently learned about linux
[06:20] <john> GamingX: thanks again for the help with this
[06:20] <AmiDaniel_away> AnRkey: I believe so
[06:21] <AnRkey> summer_s4, sorry i could not help :(
[06:21] <GamingX> john: no problem, you want help with the bootloader problem....
[06:21] <bulmer> Traeumt: now cd /boot/grub
[06:21] <albertmk> Hello. I am using Ubuntu and I want to write/read/rename files from Windows XP partition. I already installed ntfs-config and ntfs-3g
[06:21] <john> GamingX: is it difficult to fix the bootloader?
[06:21] <albertmk> but I cant do anything!
[06:21] <summer_s4> anrkey: ahh rats rear. I need some sort of os emulater
[06:21] <GamingX> john: what exactly happens at the start?
[06:21] <albertmk> I want to rename some files from Windows XP by Ubuntu
[06:21] <Traeumt> there is no grub folder in boot
[06:22] <Kousotu> what troans can Linux get, if any?
[06:22] <Traeumt> Dont forget i am on live cd :)
[06:22] <bulmer> Traeumt: okay...umm what under /boot/  ?
[06:22] <john> GamingX: grub loads. the last menu in Grub is to send me to the "Windows Vista/Longhorn loader"
[06:22] <GamingX> john: so do you get another bootloader?
[06:22] <Lustblader> Traeumt:  then go to the boot folder on the partion that u installed ubuntu previously
[06:22] <Traeumt> these are written abi-2.6.20-15-generic             memtest86+.bin
[06:22] <Traeumt> config-2.6.20-15-generic          System.map-2.6.20-15-generic
[06:22] <Traeumt> initrd.img-2.6.20-15-generic.bak  vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic
[06:22] <john> yah, i get the Vista boot loader.
[06:22] <bulmer> Lustblader: he has to mount that first though
[06:23] <john> again, vista's no longer on this system though
[06:23] <albertmk> I am using Ubuntu right now. I want to read/write/rename windows xp files. I already installed ntfs-config and ntfs-3g, but I cant do anything.
[06:23] <pHill> what is beryl svn? anyone?
[06:23] <bulmer> Traeumnt: you remember which partition that linux was installed on right? lets say /dev/hda1  then do   grub_install /dev/hda
[06:23] <Traeumt> okey
[06:24] <AmiDaniel_away> pHill: The unstable beryl release
[06:24] <bulmer> Traeumt: that command i gave you..is supposed to install grub into /dev/hda  mbr
[06:24] <GamingX> john: Download and install Vista Bootloader from http://www.vistabootpro.org/ and you can figure it out yourself or if not try this link http://www.pro-networks.org/forum/about95844.html
[06:24] <krammer_> How do I know if I have 3d??
[06:24] <pHill> ami: so is it the new version?
[06:24] <pHill> or old?
[06:25] <summer_s4> i am ditching ubuntu for the times beings
[06:25] <albertmk> I am using Ubuntu right now. I want to read/write/rename windows xp files. I already installed ntfs-config and ntfs-3g, but I cant do anything.
[06:25] <bulmer> Traeumt: now try and reboot..remove the liveCD so it will go to your hdd during boot
[06:25] <GamingX> john:but you need to be in windows xp....
[06:25] <Jawshie> Kousotu: Let me try to explain this the best I can. I am by far not a security expert but from my experience and reading here it what I know:  Viruses on linux are rare and die off quickly due to the nature of linux and the way that user accounts and the kernel are set up. Most people run linux without an antivirus because they are virtually non-existant.
[06:25] <pHill> because i had 0.2.0 rc3
[06:25] <Jared> I went into gconf-editor and set custom icon for my gnome panel...where do I pu tthe icon at to get it to sho wup?
[06:25] <Jared> show up?*

[06:25] <albertmk> Kousotu, as well as you dont know the answer for my question :P
[06:25] <pHill> ami: so is it the new version?

[06:28] <bulmer> Traeumt: hang on..let me find that
[06:28] <Traeumt> okey
[06:28] <john__> GamingX: no, what were they?
[06:28] <GamingX> john_: Download and install Vista Bootloader from http://www.vistabootpro.org/ and you can figure it out yourself or if not try this link http://www.pro-networks.org/forum/about95844.html
[06:29] <Skeet> ok  need some help
[06:29] <bulmer> Traeumt: try  /sbin/grub_install /dev/hda
[06:29] <greg-g> Q: What would make it so kaffeine can play DVDs but not Totem?  I have the libdcss and gstreamer-ugly installed.
[06:29] <dgeorge> i want i candy
[06:29] <AmiDaniel_away> greg-g: Do you have totem-xine installed?
[06:29] <CheeseGardener> does anyone know if OSX can read NTFS?
[06:29] <KrisWood> Hello everyone
[06:30] <AmiDaniel_away> greg-g: The totem streamer seems to work when you first load the dvd, but that's it
[06:30] <KrisWood> Yes OSX can read NTFS but cannot write to it reliably
[06:30] <Skeet> can someone help me
[06:30] <greg-g> AmiDaniel_away, I have the totem-gstreamer variant installed
[06:30] <Lustblader> !ask |skeet
[06:30] <ubotu> skeet: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:30] <Skeet> lol ok
[06:30] <Traeumt> /sbin/grub_install /dev/hda
[06:30] <Traeumt> nope its the same error bulmer
[06:31] <AmiDaniel_away> greg-g: I'd recommend isntalling totem-xine .. as I said, the streamer is a bit funky
[06:31] <Traeumt> /sbin/grub_install: No such file or directory
[06:31] <john__> GamingX: thanks, i was just reading the links you sent. i'm going to bookmark it and look into it another day
[06:31] <greg-g> AmiDaniel_away, but I can install the xine variant, I was going to, but it need to uninstall the gstreamer version to do that, and I was wanting to make the gstreamer version work
[06:31] <Flannel> Traeumt: grub-install
[06:31] <Skeet> whenevr i try to watch a movie or listen to music my screen truns dark and it wont play
[06:31] <greg-g> AmiDaniel_away, ok, thanks
[06:31] <pHill> owe that hurt!
[06:31] <bulmer> Traeumt: you have already chrooted to / right?
[06:31] <dgeorge> is there a theme manager
[06:31] <Traeumt> yes
[06:31] <KrisWood> Ok stupid question of the day: I've got an ubuntu computer running firestarter acting as the router for my network, everything works fine except starcraft over hamachi. My windows computers are not able to see anyone else's games on the hamachi network. I'm pretty sure it's my firewall settings, anyone got any ideas how to configure firestarter to be more friendly to Hamachi?
[06:31] <GamingX> john_:Thats all from, I have to go bye
[06:31] <albert> how do I edit my sources list?
[06:32] <john__> GamingX: later
[06:32] <bulmer> Traeumt: it is /sbin/grub-intall /dev/hda   its dash not underscore..my typo
[06:32] <bulmer> Traeumt: it is /sbin/grub-install /dev/hda   its dash not underscore..my typo
[06:32] <Xenguy> albert: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:32] <nj786> hey guys i just doownloaded this icon theme but it doesnt work
[06:32] <nj786> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/LiNsta-icons?content=62759
[06:32] <nj786> andi  do not understand the directions it gives on the bottom
[06:32] <AnRkey> KrisWood, you need to ad an exclusion in for the Hamachi subnet that it's using
[06:32] <Traeumt> /dev/hda: Not found or not a block device.
[06:32] <albert> xenguy, thanks!
[06:32] <Traeumt> mate its in media/disk-1
[06:32] <Xenguy> albert: yw
[06:33] <KrisWood> AnRkey, sorry I have no idea what that means
[06:33] <Traeumt> should i try that ?
[06:33] <bulmer> Traeumt: you have to mount your /dev/hda first
[06:33] <bulmer> cant write to it unless mounted..heh
[06:33] <KrisWood> AnRkey, do you mean I need to tell firestarter to let anything through that's on that subnet?
[06:33] <AnRkey> KrisWood, you need to tell Firestarter to be more chilled out about the hamachi network
[06:33] <KrisWood> ah ok
[06:33] <CheeseGardener> is NTFS a patented file system?
[06:34] <AnRkey> KrisWood, try only opening the ports u need
[06:34] <summer_s4> how do i make ubuntu look like the second part of this movie? http://youtube.com/watch?v=xC5uEe5OzNQ&mode=related&search=
[06:34] <Traeumt> Bulmer i see this error when i try it /dev/hda: Not found or not a block device.
[06:34] <KrisWood> AnRkey, it was the word exclusion I was fuzzy on, thanks, I'll try that :D
[06:34] <sauvin> CheeseGardner: yes.
[06:34] <Xenguy> CheeseGardener: proprietary to M$
[06:34] <bulmer> Traeumt: fdisk -l  and tell us the results
[06:34] <CheeseGardener> Then why does the NTFS-3G site say it isn't patented in any country??
[06:35] <AnRkey> KrisWood, It does work though once  u add the exclusion, we jam cs 1.6 here allot :D
[06:35] <noway> I have ubuntu installed and THEN i installed XP and now XP is default at boot.  how do i reenable GRUB so ubuntu will be the default OS and i can choose XP if i need to

[06:35] <john__> I have a 5 button mouse and would like to configure the extra 2 buttons. How can I do this?
[06:35] <AmiDaniel_away> greg-g: Glad to hear it :)

[06:36] <Traeumt> sorry guys
[06:36] <chikita> hello, i cant get mplayerplug-in to work, i followed the steps of this site http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/install.php#plugin, and when i got to the make section i got  just errors, help please
[06:37] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: I didn't, no
[06:37] <CheeseGardener> Oh... so it's legal to use NTFS-3G then?
[06:37] <pHill> anyone: beryl svn vs.  beryl 0.2.0 rc3 which is newest? or in development?
[06:37] <astro76> chikita, just install package mozilla-mplayer through ubuntu's repos
[06:37] <Flannel> pHill: compiz-fusion is the newest version.  beryl is dead (well, recombined)
[06:37] <nj786> can anybody help me out with my icon theme?
[06:38] <freakytallkid> evening all
[06:38] <summer_s4> how do i install apache 1.3, php 5.whatever and pg 7.4.3 on ubuntu?
[06:38] <Jawshie> CheeseGardener: The only reason you would have an ntfs partition is because you own a piece of Microsoft code known as Windows ... you bought rights to use NTFS
[06:38] <sauvin> CheeseGardener, I look at it this way: the fuel pump in my car is patented, too, but that doesn't stop me from using a screwdriver on it.
[06:38] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: yeah, that's why it's in universe and not multiverse
[06:38] <pHill> flannel: where do i get it and how to install?
[06:38] <untung> hello,
[06:38] <john__> astro76: thanks, that was exactly what i was looking for.
[06:38] <KrisWood> AnRkey, ok I added the entire hamachi subnet to the section "Allow connections from host" in firestarter which I assume is a very insecure thing to do but it still didn't work
[06:38] <freakytallkid> hahahahahahahahahahahahahaah @ sauvin
[06:38] <untung> does anyone have setup ubuntu as media center?
[06:38] <freakytallkid> good on ya
[06:38] <greg-g> Q: Would there be some reason why my DVD does not show up on the desktop like other discs in my drive?  This only happens for DVDs (store bought and burned).  Audio cds, blank cd/dvds all work as expected.
[06:38] <KrisWood> AnRkey, is that not what you meant to do?
[06:39] <john__> !keyboard | john__
[06:39] <pHill> flannel: where do i get it and how to install?
[06:39] <noway> If i have Ubuntu and then installed XP.  How do i turn grub back on as the boot manager so that ubuntu will boot instead of XP
[06:39] <Jawshie> greg-g: Are you sure it is in a dvd drive? :)
[06:39] <P235> Hi, in http://www.linuxcommand.org/lts0070.php#file_permissions the author teaches users the chmod command with the use of binary octals.  Is there a trick I can use to remember the octals and the corresponding binary?
[06:39] <AnRkey> KrisWood, couple of questions first
[06:39] <chowmeined> this is such crap
[06:39] <freakytallkid> greag-g u need to get Xine, worked for me
[06:39] <greg-g> Jawshie, :) yes
[06:39] <chowmeined> does cups work for anyone else?
[06:39] <KrisWood> ok
[06:39] <AnRkey> KrisWood, lets pm
[06:39] <greg-g> freakytallkid, I have it installed
[06:39] <chikita> asreo76, i already got mplayer fully working, im refering to the mplayerplug-in for firefox
[06:39] <Jawshie> greg-g: Crap... I cant help sorry :(
[06:39] <bulmer> Traeumt: now try and reboot..remove the liveCD so it will go to your hdd during boot
[06:39] <sauvin> Playing the DVD isn't greg's problem: getting it to show up as on icon on his desktop is.
[06:39] <nj786> can aybody help me with a icon theme problem?
[06:39] <astro76> !info mozilla-mplayer | chikita
[06:39] <greg-g> freakytallkid, I can play back the dvd, just not "see it" on my desktop.

[06:39] <Traeumt> Bulmer i still take Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device this error :(
[06:39] <Flannel> pHill: There are a number of threads on the forums, suggest you look there.  Its a fast moving target, forums are probably your best bet.  Or #ubuntu-effects (check that room, see if it's in the topic)
[06:40] <freakytallkid> greg-g oh ok, sorry cant help there
[06:40] <greg-g> freakytallkid, thanks
[06:40] <SineFato> Question: I just installed full ubuntu and I'm still in live, are all my settings gonna be gone when i boot onto the HDD?
[06:40] <sauvin> Greg, is it possible you clicked on "do nothing forever" for that type of media on your desktop at one time?
[06:40] <CheeseGardener> sauvin and Flannel, so does that mean it isn't contested?  Microsoft doesn't care about NTFS-3G?
[06:40] <freakytallkid> greag-g np
[06:40] <Flannel> SineFato: yes
[06:40] <nj786> can aybody help me with a icon theme problem?
[06:40] <greg-g> sauvin, hrm... I don't THINK so
[06:40] <SineFato> flannel: cool thanks
[06:40] <bulmer> Traeumt: that error during boot right?
[06:40] <greg-g> sauvin, but it should still show up on my desktop as an icon
[06:40] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: well, they do care.  They can't do anything about it though.
[06:40] <sauvin> Oh, Microsoft cares, believe me. I'm sure Ford cares about my taking a screwdriver to my fuel pump, too, but there's bugger all they can do about it.
[06:40] <airstrike> hi
[06:40] <nj786> can aybody help me with a icon theme problem?
[06:41] <greg-g> sauvin, just not automatically play/open file browser/whatever
[06:41] <Traeumt> nope after i typed grub-install
[06:41] <astro76> john__, if you're interested here's what I added to my imwheelrc http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32724/
[06:41] <freakytallkid> savin: the way i see it, I bought it, its MINE
[06:41] <CheeseGardener> Oh ok.  So will they ever stop NTFS-3G you think?
[06:41] <airstrike> can anyone help me with compiz-fusion? apparently my settings aren't being saved.. i keep having to change everything everytime i open it
[06:41] <Flannel> sauvin: NTFS isn't patented.
[06:41] <sauvin> freakytallkid, only to an extent. You can't reverse-engineer it, and you can't sell it.
[06:41] <P235> Hi, in http://www.linuxcommand.org/lts0070.php#file_permissions the author teaches users the chmod command with the use of binary octals.  Is there a trick I can use to remember the octals and the corresponding binary?  i.e. chmod 700 some_file, chmod 755 some_file?
[06:41] <sauvin> Flannel: you're certain? I could have sworn I'd read somewhere...
[06:41] <macogw> airstrike: #ubuntu-effects
[06:42] <astro76> P235, do you know binary?
[06:42] <nj786> can aybody help me with a icon theme problem?
[06:42] <Xenguy> P235: 4 = read ; 2 = write ; 1 = execute
[06:42] <P235> astro76, not really
[06:42] <P235> Xenguy, thanks!
[06:42] <Flannel> P235: There is no binary.  It's all octal.  You don't /need/ to know octal though, since you can use the letters (oga +- rws)
[06:42] <bulmer> lolz
[06:42] <Xenguy> P235: somehow you just memorize that
[06:42] <Wintersmith> Hello all. Anyone know of a good site that walks through automatically launching an application at gnome startup? Bonus points if you know of a way to assign it to a specific workspace.
[06:42] <DerangedDingo> nj786: i might be able to
[06:43] <Flannel> !startup | Wintersmith
[06:43] <ubotu> Wintersmith: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot
[06:43] <greg-g> sauvin, any other ideas other than the "do nothing again" option?
[06:43] <darodrig> Hello all
[06:43] <Wintersmith> I see. Thank you!
[06:43] <P235> Xenguy, that's much easier than wondering how the octals match up with the binary.
[06:43] <macogw> Wintersmith: devilspie to put it on a specific workspace
[06:43] <freakytallkid> just a quick question, can anyone quickly sum up thin-clients?
[06:43] <MSG4> Hi . I having problem with my ubuntu loading it takes longer to load even with core 2 duo
[06:43] <Xenguy> P235: as a non-mathematician, I just learn it rote ;-)
[06:43] <sauvin> greg-g, what desktop do you run?
[06:43] <chowmeined> freakytallkid: they are clients.. and they are thin
[06:43] <macogw> freakytallkid: no hard drive.  boots over a network from a server
[06:43] <greg-g> sauvin, gnome
[06:43] <CheeseGardener> Flannel, if microsoft does care about NTFS-3G, why don't they bother to fight it?  Maybe they don't want to bother fighting something so small?
[06:43] <Flannel> Wintersmith: as for workspace, you'll need to use something like devilspie: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/25/how-to-set-default-workspace-size-and-window-effects-in-gnome/
[06:44] <MSG4> When i boot to ubuntu screen it takes so long
[06:44] <Traeumt> Bulmer  shall i try installing ubuntu on a different file system rather than ext3
[06:44] <sauvin> You might want to put that question to #gnome, then...
[06:44] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: because they have no legal grounds to fight it.
[06:44] <nj786> DerangedDingo: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/LiNsta-icons?content=62759
[06:44] <greg-g> sauvin, k
[06:44] <bulmer> Traeumt: perhaps you can tell us what you did during install?
[06:44] <CheeseGardener> I see.  Alright.
[06:44] <freakytallkid> macogw: no HDD? even though the client has some heavy programs?
[06:44] <darodrig> I am trying to get to work a SSL vpn which start a java applet but I had some problem with the java applet connecting to SSL, or to the session manager...not clear
[06:44] <Traeumt> its ext3
[06:44] <Traeumt> atm
[06:44] <nj786> DerangedDingo: im trying to install that but it wont work and i dont understand his intructions on the bottom
[06:44] <Traeumt> but i thnk of trying another file system
[06:45] <Traeumt> maybe its my hardware i dunno well but i can try that ntfs-3g one ?
[06:45] <macogw> freakytallkid: yeah you run them from the server. i guess you could put one to store files, but why?
[06:45] <CheeseGardener> So why wouldn't they have legal grounds??? just curious flannel....
[06:45] <P235> Xenguy, the idea of learning math to fix user permissions worried me a little, hahaha
[06:45] <freakytallkid> maco: oh ok
[06:45] <macogw> CheeseGardener: no patent
[06:45] <Flannel> CheeseGardener: Lets move this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:45] <bulmer> Traeumt: during install..did it not asked you where you want the grub to install? and you told it to install on /dev/sda right?
[06:45] <macogw> freakytallkid: i mean, itd be possible i assume, but no reason...
[06:45] <DerangedDingo> nj786: Download it, extract it, open your home folder in nautilus, hit Control + H, and move it to the folder called .icons
[06:45] <Xenguy> P235: stick with whatever works in this business I say :-)
[06:45] <CheeseGardener> ok flannel
[06:45] <CheeseGardener> I'll go there
[06:46] <chowmeined> why is cups broken?
[06:46] <DerangedDingo> nj786: Then switch to it with System > Preferences > Theme
[06:46] <Tamale> can someone help me fix my ferocious fonts in firefox in feisty fawn for free?
[06:46] <el_isma> Hello! I need help. I want to bridge my ethernet iface with my wifi one. I'm following the howtos but it doesn't work and I can't spot what I'm doing wrong... Anyone has experience with this?
[06:46] <bulmer> Traeumt: you dont want to load a linux on a ntfs-3g...
[06:46] <Traeumt> nope bulmer it was set to (hd0) and i didnt change it
[06:46] <freakytallkid> maco: hahahahahaha i guess i shouldnt use thin clients over a 10mb hub then
[06:46] <nj786> DerangedDingo: but the file is not .targz
[06:46] <sauvin> bulmer, my ubuntu automagically mounts my ntfs partitions on boot.
[06:46] <sauvin> nj786, what is the file?
[06:47] <DerangedDingo> it's a .bz2
[06:47] <Tamale> can someone help me fix my ferociously fat fonts in firefox in feisty fawn for free?
[06:47] <Tamale> they are blurry and ugly and some aren't even anti-aliased
[06:47] <Traeumt> Bulmer i am re installing ubuntu right now :)
[06:47] <sauvin> then I'd do a tar -xvjf myfile.tar.bz2
[06:47] <bulmer> sauvin you have told your ntldr to find where your linux is right? not linux using an ntfs as the File system noh?
[06:47] <Traeumt> choosing the layout atm
[06:47] <nj786> sauvin: LiNsta_Icons_by_tiennou44.bz2
[06:47] <Superdaddy-o> hey guys when i try to install my nvidia drivers, it says that i dont have the headers
[06:47] <nj786> DerangedDingo: LiNsta_Icons_by_tiennou44.bz2
[06:47] <Superdaddy-o> however, i just downloaded the freaking things
[06:47] <sauvin> bulmer: rephrase. I couldn't parse that.'
[06:47] <Superdaddy-o> what is the deal?
[06:47] <summer_s4> tamale: it is the web sites problome not firefoxes

[06:47] <Lustblader> john__: tell me how it's going
[06:48] <Tamale> summer_s4: but everything looks fine in edgy
[06:48] <Traeumt> removing all the partitions and making new one for root
[06:48] <Traeumt> and 4gb for swap okey ?
[06:48] <DerangedDingo> nj786: Just right click it on your desktop, and click "Extract Here". When it finishes, do it again
[06:48] <bulmer> sauvin your linux is not using ntfs-3g as the linux file system?
[06:48] <Lustblader> 1 gig is more than enough
[06:48] <Superdaddy-o> hey guys
[06:48] <astro76> Traeumt, way too much, how much ram do you have?
[06:48] <Superdaddy-o> im heaving kernell header probs
[06:48] <Superdaddy-o> any answers?
[06:48] <bulmer> Traeumt: way plenty..4gig? recommended twice your ram memory
[06:48] <macogw> Traeumt: whatever double your ram is
[06:48] <summer_s4> tamale: i don't have that problome.  What is your screen resolution set at?
[06:49] <sauvin> bulmer, I'm not aware that's even possible.

[06:49] <xerawx> Tamale: apt-get install restricted-extras?
[06:49] <Traeumt> should i lower the swap size ?
[06:49] <nj786> DerangedDingo: ok done now what?
[06:49] <chowmeined> has anyone ever printed with feisty?
[06:49] <astro76> Traeumt, 1GB swap would be more than enough
[06:49] <xerawx> i think that's the package.. i installed earlier for the microsoft TT fonts
[06:49] <DerangedDingo> nj786: Is it a regular folder?
[06:49] <macogw> Traeumt: 2gb is fine then
[06:49] <Traeumt> okey
[06:49] <peepsalot> does anyone here have the problem that Ctrl-Shift-Z makes pages look huge in firefox.  normally Ctrl-Shift-Z does a "Redo"
[06:49] <nj786> DerangedDingo: yes
[06:49] <Tamale> xerawx: I don't see that package
[06:49] <Superdaddy-o> anybody help a brothe out?
[06:49] <Jawshie> Heres a question for all... i'm curious to hear a lot of responses. What do you use with linux to monitor a network of servers, clients, and certain devices which you can not install software on (hardware routers)
[06:49] <bulmer> sauvin right...maybe i didnt get what you said about booting linux with ntfs...
[06:49] <summer_s4> tamale: i don't know.  i guess i can't help
[06:50] <macogw> Traeumt: and thats for hibernate.  in general, you wont use that much though. i think there's a way to use less than 2x and then set up a ramdisk for hibernate, but idk how
[06:50] <Traeumt> i am choosing Primary for type for the new partition right ?
[06:50] <DerangedDingo> nj786: Open your home folder in nautilus, and then hit Control + H. Move it to .icons, and switch to it with System > Preferences > Theme
[06:50] <Tamale> summer_s4: it's ok, no one has been able to so far
[06:50] <xerawx> Tamale: sorry, ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:50] <bulmer> Jawshie: snmp
[06:50] <astro76> macogw, you only need 1x for hibernate
[06:50] <Tamale> xerawx: downloading and installing
[06:50] <bulmer> Jawshie: assuming those devices support snmp
[06:50] <Tamale> xerawx: it's looking for my disc
[06:50] <macogw> astro76: then why is 2x always recommended?
[06:50] <chowmeined> well cups is a piece of shit
[06:50] <Tamale> how can i point it to the web
[06:50] <summer_s4> tamale: if you are willing to download the package from firefox and put a link to your desktop i can help you at that.
[06:50] <Traeumt> Location of the new partition is begining (for root one)
[06:51] <Vitorious> Anyone know of a good PHP IDE that has FTP support? Id prefer not to install apache et al on my system. I remember using one that would upload instantly when I saved but cant for the life of me remember what it was called. Anyone have any ideas?
[06:51] <sauvin> Oh, no, what I meant was that when ubuntu wakes up, it automatically mounts my ntfs partitions. If those partitions didn't exist, ubuntu wouldn't care because it is itself running under ext3.
[06:51] <Tamale> summer_s4: it's just my fonts
[06:51] <bulmer> Traeumt: what happens to your windows thats there?
[06:51] <astro76> macogw, 2x ram for swap is from back in the day when 512MB would be HUGE, for 1gb or more ram, you really only need 1x or less
[06:51] <freakytallkid> im going to sound like an idiot but, what is 'cups'?
[06:51] <Superdaddy-o> anyone know why my headers are not being identified when i try to install drivers?
[06:51] <Tamale> summer_s4: "sans" looks great in edgy, but like crap in feisty
[06:51] <DerangedDingo> Central Unix Printing System
[06:51] <xerawx> Tamale: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:51] <Traeumt> what u mean ?
[06:51] <bulmer> sauvin oh okay..i follow you
[06:51] <xerawx> Tamale: put a # in front of the CD line near the top
[06:51] <Tamale> xerawx: gotcha, done.. thx
[06:51] <MaXL> hi to all
[06:51] <Superdaddy-o> talkin to me trae?
[06:52] <summer_s4> tamale: I just remembered an old trick.  Make firefox your active window, and hold control and rotate the middle rolling thing on your mouse
[06:52] <bulmer> Traeumt: dont you have windows also installed? you're dual booting right?
[06:52] <Traeumt> no supperdaddy :)
[06:52] <nj786> DerangedDingo: got it thanks
[06:52] <Traeumt> nope i just have linux atm
[06:52] <Jawshie> Bulmer: unfortunately not. I was trying to install Pandora FMS but was having some problems and was curious to what everybody else used. I am currently switching from a single windows box running some ping application that just pings the remote devices for connectivity (its for a WISP) and we assume everything is running well if its pingable and people dont complain to us!
[06:52] <Tamale> summer_s4: it's not a size problem
[06:52] <Traeumt> i removed the whole partitions
[06:52] <Traeumt> 10 sec ago
[06:52] <untung> hello, how can i create my own ubuntu distro?
[06:52] <Tamale> summer_s4: it's a font rendering problem
[06:52] <summer_s4> tamale: just try it
[06:52] <DerangedDingo> freakytallkid: It's a daemon, and set of drivers/etc that detects and runs printers in Unix and Linux
[06:52] <Traeumt> re installing ubuntu
[06:52] <Superdaddy-o> come
[06:52] <Tamale> summer_s4: yah, i know it makes it bigger :)
[06:52] <Superdaddy-o> someone help a brotha out
[06:52] <bulmer> Traeumt: okay..good luck
[06:52] <Tamale> summer_s4: here lemme post a screeny
[06:52] <summer_s4> tamale: rotate it the other way
[06:52] <Traeumt> just created a 158gb part for root and 2gb for swap
[06:52] <nj786> DerangedDingo: do you know alot about decorating desktops?
[06:53] <Traeumt> i choose primary for the type
[06:53] <Flannel> summer_s4: Whats wrong with the drivers that you can automatically install?
[06:53] <Flannel> Superdaddy-o, even
[06:53] <DerangedDingo> nj786: A good deal.. I like theming. I've made some contributions to Gnome Look myself
[06:53] <Traeumt> and begining for the location of the new partition am i right bulmer
[06:53] <DerangedDingo> nj786: Need any more help?
[06:53] <summer_s4> flannel: huh?  i don't know what you are talking about
[06:53] <Superdaddy-o> since when has there been automated driver software?
[06:53] <nj786> DerangedDingo: by any chance can u show me ur desktop?
[06:53] <xerawx> Tamale: i'm running Xubuntu so it might be a little different depending on your desktop setup, but I've got all 3 font smoothing options enabled in Fiesty under the "Settings > User Interface Settings" panel and fonts looks fine
[06:54] <Superdaddy-o> i would love to know because this crap wont find my new kernell headers
[06:54] <bulmer> Traeumt: correct
[06:54] <Tamale> xerawx: i'm afraid that didn't help firefox any :\
[06:54] <Flannel> Superdaddy-o: System > Administration > Restricted DEvices Manager
[06:54] <Traeumt> now
[06:54] <DerangedDingo> nj786: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/My+Desktop+%3A%29?content=62755
[06:54] <Superdaddy-o> it says my hardware doesnt need any restrited drivers
[06:55] <Traeumt> In advance options it asks "Device for boot loader installation" and it is (hd0) atm bulmer
[06:55] <shk> hi could anyone tell me if ubuntu has an active process manager or a startup configuration?
[06:55] <Tamale> http://uic.edu/~jbuss2/pics/ubuntu/fontsEdgy.png  <--- GOOD |  YUCK --> http://uic.edu/~jbuss2/pics/ubuntu/feistySans.png
[06:55] <bulmer> Traeumt: maybe change it to  something that sd as oppose to hd ?
[06:55] <Traeumt> should i change it or keep it Bulmer ?
[06:55] <Flannel> Superdaddy-o: then there you go.  You don't need the restricted drivers for accelleration.
[06:55] <Tamale> summer_s4: xerawx: check out my links there
[06:55] <Superdaddy-o> what do you mean>?
[06:56] <nj786> DerangedDingo: how did u change the color of ur pannel? and ur font it to black? how did you do that?
[06:56] <Superdaddy-o> Flannel - what is htat supposed to mean mate?
[06:56] <Traeumt> okey its sd0
[06:56] <Traeumt> now
[06:56] <Superdaddy-o> Flannel - I just want to install beryl and use my freaking computer
[06:56] <Jawshie> shk: for gnome:  System > Administration > System Monitor     and....
[06:56] <Jawshie> !startup | shk

[06:56] <Superdaddy-o> Flannel - i never thought it could be this hard to install a driver
[06:56] <Flannel> Superdaddy-o: it means you don'tneed to install anything additional to use beryl
[06:57] <summer_s4> tamale: it dudnt look bad for me
[06:57] <Superdaddy-o> Flannel so how do i make my resolution any bigger?
[06:57] <Tamale> summer_s4: it wouldn't look bad if i had nothing to compare it to.. but look at edgy.. it's so.. crisp

[06:57] <shk> great, thank you
[06:57] <yum_> is there a way to tell what type of ram i have?
[06:57] <Traeumt> Bulmer its like this partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) as ext3
[06:57] <Traeumt>  partition #2 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) as swap
[06:57] <DerangedDingo> nj786: That's actually a background that's on the panels that I made in the GIMP. You right click a panel and select Properties, and then Background. Font colors are controlled by the gtkrc file in GTK themes.
[06:57] <Traeumt> it means i use sd instead of hd ?
[06:58] <summer_s4> tamale: i guess you gotta live with it.  It looks like windows xp
[06:58] <RudyValencia> 'lo, anyone here have success compiling Sheepshaver? I can't find it in the repos and I have had difficulty compiling the sheep_net driver
[06:58] <nj786> DerangedDingo: can i download GTK themes?
[06:58] <bulmer> Traeumt i believe so..am not 100% sure

[06:58] <Traeumt> Okey
[06:58] <DerangedDingo> nj786: You probably already have from Gnome-Look.org
[06:59] <nj786> DerangedDingo: yes
[06:59] <Tamale> ha.. you kiddin me?  this is linux we're talking about.. you don't have to 'live with' anything :)
[06:59] <summer_s4> tamale: well... i guess find the piece of code were something went wrong and fix it yourself
[06:59] <nj786> DerangedDingo: which 1 can i download from GTK 1.X OR GTK 2.X
[06:59] <bulmer> Traeumt: what throws me off is that SCSI3(0,0,0)   i thought if you go to the next partition, those number change..bwdik
[06:59] <Tamale> summer_s4: that's exactly why i'm here.. i'm hoping to find someone who know how fonts are rendered
[06:59] <DerangedDingo> nj786: GTK 2.X
[07:00] <P235> For security, is it okay to simply change the permissions to a directory to 700 or should it be done recursively?
[07:00] <Tamale> summer_s4: and what's different in feisty
[07:00] <Superdaddy-o> so ubotu
[07:00] <Superdaddy-o> Ubotu - you are telling me that i already have the drivers?
[07:00] <summer_s4> tamale: i don't know as much about ubuntu just i try to help
[07:00] <nj786> DerangedDingo: now exactly, how do i install this theme?
[07:01] <RudyValencia> Anyone here have success compiling Sheepshaver under Feisty? I can't find it in the repos and I have had difficulty compiling the sheep_net driver.
[07:01] <DerangedDingo> nj786: System > Preferences > Theme
[07:01] <Tamale> is there a channel for more advanced topics about ubuntu?
[07:01] <MSG4> Hi i have problem with my ubuntu loading when the computer even with core 2 duo its not boot faster its slow
[07:01] <nj786> DerangedDingo: thats it?
[07:02] <MSG4> And i have 2 gb of rams
[07:02] <MSG4> Also It doesn't start up faster in loading app
[07:03] <DerangedDingo> nj786: If it doesn't make an entry for itself, then go to "customize". GTK2 Themes should be under "Controls". You can also download Metacity themes, which are for window borders. And icon themes can be installed the same way. All you need to do is download it, and drag the tar.gz (or tar.bz2) into the Themes window
[07:03] <blingboi> hey guys, how do i disable the screensaver from turning on while i am suspending to ram?

[07:11] <Sonicadvance1> Question, is there a way to use Window's Midi maps to have a more complete collection of them?
[07:11] <JohnnyReb> and I've tried it through synaptic as well

[07:16] <JohnnyReb> gonna look into getting 2 buffalo drives too
[07:16] <Superdaddy-o> guys how do i know if my video drivers are installed?
[07:17] <faileas> JohnnyReb: you MIGHT also be able to get *some* old data off the old drive by freezing it
[07:17] <JohnnyReb> ah yes, good trick faileas, I've used that one before
[07:17] <riotkittie> i wish data recovery wasnt so expensive :\
[07:17] <JohnnyReb> what sux is, after I formatted a new HD and installed ubuntu, the other drive decided to start working grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
[07:17] <faileas> riotkittie: base level stuff... isn't quite so...
[07:18] <faileas> LOL
[07:18] <JohnnyReb> but it's dying a slow death
[07:18] <faileas> well
[07:18] <Superdaddy-o> can someone plz speak with me on a PM for just 3 mins
[07:18] <JohnnyReb> I did get my data off of it though
[07:18] <faileas> make a dupe, and have a huge swap drive XD
[07:18] <riotkittie> faileas, i know, but i'm not talking base level :P
[07:18] <Superdaddy-o> someone help me
[07:19] <SImplyPuzzled> Superdaddy-o, you can pm me
[07:19] <Superdaddy-o> thank you
[07:19] <riotkittie> i have an issue with an external. i dont know if its the drive, or if its the usb connection :\ it fell :|
[07:19] <xerawx> summertime is always brutal on harddrives.. been getting that icky feeling from my 250gb lately.. burning like a madman all evening :o
[07:19] <SImplyPuzzled> make sure you have a registered nick though Superdaddy-o
[07:19] <JohnnyReb> brb trying to figure out where the channel list is
[07:19] <riotkittie> brb. going back to a real irc client. yuck.
[07:19] <Superdaddy-o> its not
[07:20] <SImplyPuzzled> then you won't be able to pm me
[07:20] <Superdaddy-o> can you PM me instead?
[07:20] <Superdaddy-o> can you PM me instead?
[07:20] <SImplyPuzzled> try my aim, freemuncie
[07:20] <Traeumt> I am preying to ubuntu now to run clearly without inserting the cd
[07:20] <JohnnyReb> this looks nothing like the xchat I was using before
[07:20] <JohnnyReb> this sux LOL
[07:20] <Superdaddy-o> okay
[07:20] <riotkittie> ahh. much better.
[07:20] <faileas> riotkittie: could you take the drive out an test? ;p
[07:20] <Traeumt> or i am gona throw my 20 inch wide lcd to floor
[07:20] <Traeumt> and brake the case in to pieces
[07:20] <chris__> hey
[07:21] <xerawx> the drive might just "seem" to be working again though Johnny, my last drive that died did that
[07:21] <xerawx> it was off and on for a while before it finally kicked the bucket
[07:21] <JohnnyReb> xer, yeah, I'm not trusting that other drive
[07:21] <riotkittie> faileas: i'm thinking about doing that but i'm a little wary
[07:21] <JohnnyReb> I've got a different drive in here now
[07:21] <riotkittie> on the other hand, its not like the company will replace it, i imagine :P
[07:22] <faileas> ;)
[07:22] <faileas> You'd want to check that ;p
[07:22] <xerawx> if you split it up into different partitions though, and just use it for testing OSes or whatever, might as well use it while it works
[07:22] <JohnnyReb> does DCC work on this server?
[07:23] <JohnnyReb> yeah xer, I might try to throw freebsd on it
[07:23] <JohnnyReb> if it dies after that, no big loss
[07:24] <JohnnyReb> I can tell it's on the way out, it's way slow
[07:25] <blingboi> has anyone heard of pclinuxiso
[07:25] <JohnnyReb> this is pissing me off, click the link to download the tarball for flash and it just sits there
[07:25] <blingboi> pclinuxos what is it
[07:25] <riotkittie> blingboi: google it.  they have a site.   :P
[07:26] <faileas> ;p

[07:27] <Traeumt> Guys is there any difference between installing ubuntu on SATA driver rather than IDE ?
[07:27] <JohnnyReb> doesn't seem to matter what browser I use either
[07:27] <riotkittie> hm. want me to reload xchat and try to send again?
[07:27] <frak_> Traeumt, no difference
[07:28] <JohnnyReb> If U want to
[07:28] <riotkittie> brb

[07:30] <bullgard4> On a Ubuntu-7.04 computer there are 2 gdm processes. On another Ubuntu-7.04 there is none. Still its graphics works correctly. What's the use of the 2 gdm processes?
[07:31] <xerawx> cool, np
[07:31] <riotkittie> bullgard4, could it have something to do with desktop effects?
[07:31] <riotkittie> i'm completely clueless but thought i'd throw that out :P
[07:31] <riotkittie> ugh. xchat.  brb.
[07:32] <freakytallkid> excuse all, just curious as to how I would go about finding the package files of packages already installed
[07:32] <riotkittie> ahh. better. much better.
[07:32] <AWOSLappy> bullgard4: you type "startx" manually if you do not have gdm
[07:32] <AWOSLappy> bullgard4: there may also be xdm or kdm
[07:32] <riotkittie>  he has it. he's asking why 2 versions are running.

[07:34] <AWOSLappy> Dangerous, but fun.
[07:34] <riotkittie> pintados_16: what do you need help with?
[07:34] <bullgard4> AWOSLappy: On the computer where there is no gdm process running I did not have to type 'startx'. Still it has brought up my Gnome.
[07:34] <JohnnyReb> yaaaaaaaaaaay I got flash, I can go to bed happy now LOL
[07:34] <JohnnyReb> I'm back up and running 100%
[07:34] <pintados_16> i need to split some wmv files
[07:35] <CheeseGardener> VMware?
[07:35] <CheeseGardener> Quem?
[07:35] <pintados_16> can someone tell me what software do i need
[07:35] <faileas> emulators ;p
[07:35] <CheeseGardener> Which is for GNOME?
[07:35] <faileas> basically he's saying, do it in windows ;p
[07:35] <riotkittie> pintados_16: that, i have no idea of. search in synaptic or apt for audio editors
[07:35] <AWOSLappy> bullgard4: hrm, I'm not sure.
[07:35] <faileas> dosen't matter, CheeseGardener
[07:35] <CheeseGardener> do they work?
[07:36] <AWOSLappy> pintado_16: Windows?  not many wmv editors (if any) available for Linux
[07:36] <CheeseGardener> or will they mess up the HDD?
[07:36] <faileas> eh
[07:36] <bullgard4> riotkittie: I do not use desktop effects, neither on computer 1 nor on computer 2.
[07:36] <Traeumt> what is the best program for linux to run .exe files people ?
[07:36] <MasterShrek> wine
[07:36] <riotkittie> CheeseGardener: if you're that worried about it, your best bet is to reboot, enter windows, and defrag theer
[07:36] <riotkittie> there*
[07:36] <JohnnyReb> gnite y'all, thanks to all who helped!
[07:36] <CheeseGardener> So windows would be best to defrag with?
[07:36] <MasterShrek> yea i dont know if i would defrag my windows partition under vmware
[07:36] <faileas> Traeumt: Wine or run em in windows in an emu
[07:36] <Traeumt> I want to play world of warcraft with ubuntu :)
[07:36] <faileas> CheeseGardener: hell yes
[07:36] <pintados_16> ok thanks for your help
[07:36] <CheeseGardener> Ok
[07:36] <CheeseGardener> I'll do that then.
[07:36] <riotkittie> CheeseGardener: exactly
[07:37] <pete83> CheeseGardener: here's a way: make another partition, and then copy all the files over to it. They will be probably magically defragmented. tada
[07:37] <Kousotu> question: how to I give boot.ini for wina Grub boot option?
[07:37] <CheeseGardener> Lately, all I use windows for is to defragment.
[07:37] <AWOSLappy> Traeumt: WINE.   See winehq.org.
[07:37] <faileas> Traeumt: check the wine compat database
[07:37] <riotkittie> Kousotu: windows boot loader??
[07:37] <Traeumt> thanks all
[07:37] <riotkittie> you want to give that a GRUB option?
[07:37] <AWOSLappy> Does Ubuntu keep archives of old ISOs?
[07:37] <MasterShrek> Kousotu, install grub to your mbr and put a windows option in there
[07:37] <CheeseGardener> are there any serious problems with VMware or Quem when defragmenting?
[07:37] <riotkittie> i'm using windows for. like. everything these days. :x
[07:37] <MasterShrek> i think so AWOSLappy who?
[07:37] <CheeseGardener> where the HDD could break?
[07:38] <Kousotu> yes
[07:38] <faileas> raw disk loading on a VM is chancy
[07:38] <AWOSLappy> MasterShrek: like, old Feisty Herd 5 ISOs.
[07:38] <eboyjr> Does anyone have 3d anaglyph ( red | blue ) glasses here?
[07:38] <Kousotu> MasterShrek: I have grub as default
[07:38] <MasterShrek> hmm, i doubt it, but maybe
[07:38] <MasterShrek> Kousotu, then why do you want to edit windows' boot.ini?
[07:38] <pete83> CheeseGardener: if you don't use windows, why do you even need an NTFS drive?
[07:38] <AWOSLappy> ChesseGardener: sure, any time you hook up a raw disk to a VM it's dangerous.  I haven't lost any datas.  YMMV.
[07:38] <riotkittie> Kousotu: can you explain what youre trying to do? why do you want to edit win's bootloader?
[07:38] <Kousotu> MasterShrek: I want to put the option in theboot.ini so if itstarts win when Idon't want to I can boot grub again
[07:39] <Kousotu> er..
[07:39] <Kousotu> load*
[07:39] <CheeseGardener> Oh.... so I could lose everything then?
[07:39] <riotkittie> Kousotu: thats not going to work
[07:39] <faileas> erm
[07:39] <Kousotu> riotkittie: why not?
[07:39] <faileas> not nessarrily, but possible
[07:39] <Kousotu> windowscan see my ext3 patio
[07:39] <MasterShrek> Kousotu, if you boot windows by accident do this: ctrl+alt+del
[07:39] <riotkittie> why not  just edit grub's menu list? and change the time?
[07:39] <Kousotu> partion*
[07:40] <faileas> MasterShrek: that opens task manager ;p
[07:40] <Kousotu> riotkittie: cause I don't wanna
[07:40] <freakytallkid> does anyone know where apt-get and Synaptic Package Manager download the packages to before they install them?
[07:40] <MasterShrek> fck windows
[07:40] <MasterShrek> lol
[07:40] <CheeseGardener> so is there any safe way to defrag a NTFS drive without windows?
[07:40] <Kousotu> I game on windows tyvm
[07:40] <Flannel> freakytallkid: /var/cache/apt/
[07:40] <faileas> CheeseGardener: no
[07:40] <malnilion> CheeseGardener, I would say that would be a bad idea to try.
[07:40] <freakytallkid> thanks Flannel
[07:40] <Kousotu> is itpossible?
[07:40] <AWOSLappy> Kousotu: I am forced to as well.  what I did is set up two entries in boot.ini, both to windows, with a timeout.
[07:40] <CheeseGardener> darn
[07:40] <Kousotu> and if so how?
[07:41] <pete83> Kousotu, Windows doesn't have any good games. Like, where's the tuxracer?
[07:41] <AWOSLappy> Kousotu: if you accidentally boot Windows, you have however many seconds to CTRL+ALT+DEL
[07:41] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, make use of a cd burner, and put a linux fs on there
[07:41] <riotkittie> you dont want to take the simple route and edit the timeout in grub to save yourself from the problem you want solved, but want windows to be able to send you back to grub, and arent willing to reboot?
[07:41] <CheeseGardener> so should I just format my drive to EXT3?
[07:41] <Kousotu> pete83: I play diablo 2 and Resident Evil 3/4
[07:41] <CheeseGardener> if I do that I can't hook it to computers that don't have EXT3 on them
[07:41] <AWOSLappy> CheeseGardener: yep
[07:41] <CheeseGardener> ones that I can't install things to
[07:41] <faileas> CheeseGardener: FAT32
[07:41] <AWOSLappy> CheeseGardener: wait, this is an external drive?
[07:41] <CheeseGardener> yes.
[07:41] <AWOSLappy> CheeseGardener: there are Win32 ext3 drivers that I use day-to-day.
[07:42] <CheeseGardener> I want to defragment an external drive.
[07:42] <sauvin> I'm actually a bit leery about using WINDOWS tools to defrag NTFS!
[07:42] <Kousotu> riotkittie: I'm on a laptop, rebooting from boot is annyoing
[07:42] <MasterShrek> lol sauvin
[07:42] <riotkittie> Kousotu: then edit grub's menu list.
[07:42] <CheeseGardener> Is it safe to defrag an external with those programs AWOS?
[07:42] <AWOSLappy> CheeseGardener: sure.
[07:42] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, hes talking about the actual windows utilitites
[07:42] <AWOSLappy> CheeseGardener: VMware allows you to run Windows inside Linux.
[07:42] <sauvin> for stuff like that, forget internal/external. The only real difference is the length of the cord that runs between the drive and the motherboard.
[07:42] <MasterShrek> and the dev label
[07:43] <MasterShrek> sd vs hd
[07:43] <jdailey> Anyone know about setting up mysql on Ubuntu?  When I was running Drapper Drake, I had a working Ruby on Rails platform.  Now, I am not able to get back to that point.
[07:43] <jdailey> I've gone through and removed all mySQL in the synaptic package manager - then restarted, then reinstalled, just using the mysql-server.  The error I get is with the .pid.   There are loads of posts about the problem but unclear what actually would work for me.
[07:43] <CheeseGardener> What?  it does?
[07:43] <jdailey> I'm now running Feisty.
[07:43] <AWOSLappy> CheeseGardener: Yep.  And it's free.
[07:43] <Kousotu> riotkittie: in theroy how would I be able to otgrub back?
[07:43] <CheeseGardener> so I can boot up XP while on linux?
[07:43] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, yea it runs an actual copy of windows under linux
[07:43] <faileas> yup
[07:43] <robert_> is there no wine available for ubuntu64?
[07:43] <CheeseGardener> so it gives you windows free?
[07:43] <AWOSLappy> CheeseGardener: you CAN'T use it with vista (unless you have uber-enterprise-expensive edition), but you can with all others.
[07:43] <riotkittie> Kousotu: otgrub?
[07:43] <faileas> CheeseGardener: no
[07:44] <CheeseGardener> oh.
[07:44] <MasterShrek> robert_, no its just a 32 bit program, but you can still install
[07:44] <AWOSLappy> CheeseGardener: no...you have to have a valid, legal copy of Windows
[07:44] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, you need a copy of windoze still
[07:44] <Kousotu> boot grub*
[07:44] <Kousotu> er..
[07:44] <Kousotu> I should say load grub
[07:44] <CheeseGardener> I see.  Well right now I use windows only for defragmenting.  So dual boot is worth it?
[07:44] <CheeseGardener> just to use windows utilities for certain things?
[07:45] <faileas> IMO, no.
[07:45] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, you should make the switch to totally linux
[07:45] <pete83> CheeseGardener: why do you even need to defragment at all, if that's all you use it for?
[07:45] <CheeseGardener> and is there any way to defragment anything with linux?  like FAT32?
[07:45] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, you dont need to defrag a linux partition, and i dunno if u can defrag a fat32
[07:46] <riotkittie> Kousotu: the same way you're loading it now. all i'm telling you to do is edit the configuration file, and you can set the time out [number of seconds]  in which it will automatically boot into the default OS. Windows' bootloader will only allow you to boot into Windows
[07:46] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, make like a 1 gig partition on your external thats fat32 and put a windows ext driver on that so u can install on any pc u plug it into
[07:47] <faileas> MasterShrek: not always an option...
[07:47] <riotkittie> While there are alternatives to the Windows bootloader, IMHO, it makes far more sense to just edit grub's config
[07:47] <Kousotu> riotkittie: I doubt that seriously
[07:47] <magic_ninja> how can i get gnome to ask me for a password when i run a file (IE running et with a renice) without using it in terminal, like synaptic asks for a pw
[07:47] <CheeseGardener> 1 gig extended?
[07:47] <riotkittie> Kousotu: doubt what, seriously?
[07:47] <CheeseGardener> or primary?
[07:47] <Kousotu> riotkittie: my winXP can read/write to ext3
[07:47] <MasterShrek> magic_ninja, gksu [command] 
[07:47] <riotkittie> it doesnt matter what your WinXP can read or write to. WindowsXP is an OS, not a bootloader.
[07:48] <riotkittie> I can see my NTFS and FAT32 partitions from slack, zen, feisty, and dapper, but i can't load any OS from within them
[07:48] <Kousotu> right, but the boot.ini reads FROM winXP
[07:49] <Kousotu> so in thery, couldn't I have it load the grub option?
[07:49] <MasterShrek> google it Kousotu, its a dumb idea tho lol
[07:49] <pete83> Kousotu: what are you using right now, ubuntu or windows?
[07:49] <riotkittie> yes. the boot.ini reads from Windows XP. but, if you're unaware, Microsoft is fairly heavy handed. Microsoft is not a fan of competition. Microsoft does not believe you need or want alternatives. You. Cannot. Use. XP's. Bootloader. To. Load. GRUB.
[07:50] <MasterShrek> . <---- period
[07:50] <MasterShrek> lol
[07:50] <Kousotu> at this second, win XP
[07:50] <freakytallkid> lol
[07:51] <MasterShrek> Kousotu: start>run   cmd    format c:
[07:51] <riotkittie> as I've said, there are alternatives to Windows' bootloader. you are free to search them out. but the option i have given you a number of times is the most simple, and makes the most sense.   if you want to edit boot.ini, go for it.
[07:51] <Kousotu> no
[07:51] <MasterShrek> problem solved
[07:51] <Kousotu> I wo't lose my XP patrion
[07:51] <Kousotu> I want to keep XP from my games
[07:52] <riotkittie> if you want to run Linux from windows, run an emulator.
[07:52] <Kousotu> especially the ones I just bought then WON'T run on Linux wine
[07:52] <KurtKraut> Kousotu, keep an eye over www.reactos.org
[07:52] <mvconcept> does anyone use me.dium? i saw this here: http://digg.com/tech_news/Remember_Me_dium_It_just_got_some_MAJOR_updates_IE7_Support_and_Widgets
[07:52] <riotkittie> LoL. i wonder how react's coming along these days.
[07:52] <jdailey> I have a mysql config issue I think...but cannot track it down...When issuing the command $mysqld_safe --user=mysqld &
[07:52] <KurtKraut> Kousotu, this is a fully windows compatible system. No, it is not an emulation, no it is not linux.
[07:52] <jdailey> I get a response that the server has started, and then process is ended. The mysqld.pid file is mentioned as the culprit.
[07:52] <jdailey>   $ STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
[07:52] <jdailey>   $ mysqld_safe[6537] : ended
[07:52] <jdailey> I have deleted the mysqld.pid file, which was a suggestion from an earlier message, which suggested to manually remove the file.  So, how can it be stopping the server?  I've also chown 'd the directory and files for the user that is spawning the sqld .  Does that sound right?
[07:52] <KurtKraut> riotkittie, quite slow but they keep coding :P
[07:53] <riotkittie> KurtKraut: should be interesting to see what they manage to come up with. a decade or two down the line. :P
[07:53] <CheeseGardener> so there is no way to defrag an external hard drive outside of windows, without the possibility of it destroying the file system?
[07:54] <freakytallkid> i have an odd question... is there an alternative to Windows Server? like Ubuntu Server but with all GUI's?
[07:54] <pppoe_dude> anyone know if the latest skype works on edgy?
[07:54] <riotkittie> CheeseGardener: why not just convert the external to another file system?
[07:54] <faileas> you can install GUIs in ubuntu server ;p
[07:54] <pete83> Kousotu: they are right, that editing grub's menu.lst is easier.  If you want to use boot.ini to load linux take a look at this guide:    http://www.linux.com/articles/113945?tid=129&tid=49
[07:54] <s25> How can i forward every single thing that comes out of my computer through a proxy?
[07:54] <MasterShrek> freakytallkid, any ubuntu install can be converted into a server
[07:54] <s25> A socks proxy
[07:54] <CheeseGardener> because I want it to be able to plug into anything like windows or OSX
[07:55] <CheeseGardener> and be read natively.
[07:55] <MasterShrek> all ubuntu server edition is, is a dumbed down version of ubuntu desktop
 I'm using the beta Skype 1.4.0.74 on feisty
[07:55] <Flannel> freakytallkid: you can also just install server apps n a desktop machine.  Linux makes no distinction between 'desktops' and 'servers'.  Everything is a program, they all run equally well.
[07:55] <KurtKraut> freakytallkid, hmmm... usually there are frontends for server applications like freepbx (for Asterisk) or ISPConfig (for website hostings) that are acessible via browser
[07:55] <pppoe_dude> s25, can't do it for every single thing automatically, but most gnome apps can be fixed from the system menu proxxy settings
[07:55] <faileas> MasterShrek: not dumbed down, it just has less things installed
[07:55] <MasterShrek> thats what i mean
[07:55] <riotkittie> CheeseGardener: hmm. maybe BartPE will work. I'm not sure if there's a defrag tool on the disc, but you may want to google it and see
[07:55] <KurtKraut> freakytallkid, so instead of messing around the server screen itself you may have a friendly channel of administration thru a web interface.
[07:56] <xerawx> CheeseGardener: unless the drive is used for video editting or something you probably don't really need to defrag
[07:56] <s25> pppoe_dude: I was hoping i could, can i use the firewall maybe? set it to forward all outbound traffic to a port on my localhost?
[07:56] <freakytallkid> kurt: i was more looking to make something similar to 'Active Domain' where clients are linked and log into the server
[07:56] <CheeseGardener> Didn't they have a portable version of windows
[07:57] <CheeseGardener> like windows CE?
[07:57] <pppoe_dude> s25, ys, or system->preferences->network proxy
[07:57] <riotkittie> CheeseGardener: WindowsPE ?  on a disc? that isnt installed?
[07:57] <KurtKraut> freakytallkid, I don't know this tool. They log into the server to do what ?
[07:57] <Phrozen_One> how is it possible to have an alternate failover net config, say if my dhcp renew fails how could I have it automatically statically configure itself?
[07:57] <faileas> CheeseGardener: Winpe, or BartPE? windows liveCDs...
[07:57] <Flannel> freakytallkid: You want thin-clients.  Check out what edubuntu has to offer (its got a preconfigured thin client/server installer)
[07:57] <riotkittie> CheeseGardener: BartPE is an alternative to that. and supposed to be better.
[07:57] <KurtKraut> Phrozen_One, I think it will require some bash scripting.
[07:58] <xerawx> I thought there was some form of XP.. perhaps hacked, that could boot from a portal drive like OS X does.. haven't been up on the windoze werld for a long time tho
[07:58] <CheeseGardener> well I don't have a windows CD unfortunately.
[07:58] <CheeseGardener> I have a restore CD
[07:58] <freakytallkid> kurt: would thin clients allow computers to play a 3D game? its kinda for a games room
[07:58] <CheeseGardener> that toshiba gave me.
[07:58] <riotkittie> CheeseGardener: ah. that sucks.  :|
[07:58] <Phrozen_One> KurtKraut, how can I do that though, run a cron job trying to get a renew, get the exit code, and if it fails run some static commands?
[07:58] <riotkittie> i hate restore CDs!
[07:58] <CheeseGardener> It restores windows onto it with factory software.
[07:58] <freakytallkid> kurt: and the comps are hardly powerful
[07:58] <mattgyver83> Hey room, I am trying to burn the contents of an .iso.  When i try to burn the CD i select 'Create from image' however, nothing happens.  It is possible to burn .iso files within ubuntus file manager isnt it?
[07:58] <riotkittie> its like "if you punks are charging me for an OS, give me an OS" grr. ;x
[07:59] <faileas> xerawx: yeah. PEs
[07:59] <earthdog>  can anyone point me in the right direction for setting up a cups server on 7.04 server?
[08:00] <faileas> though if ROS gets stable/outta aphia it would be a nice windows alternative
[08:00] <phaedra> mattgyver83,  Just use k3b
[08:00] <KurtKraut> Phrozen_One, yes... but it sound a bit wierd for me this usage. Are you absolutelly sure that you need a static setting if dhcp fails ?
[08:00] <riotkittie> im sure react will make it there some day.
[08:00] <nextse7en> Could someone recommend a how to for setting up a sever to run ubuntu on dumb clients over the network?
[08:00] <CheeseGardener> how do I register for this channel?
[08:00] <xen_> hello there
[08:00] <CheeseGardener> or freenode?
[08:00] <faileas> riotkittie: its getting there, slowly ;p
[08:00] <Phrozen_One> KurtKraut, yes, say if the DHCP server failed, I want a static failover for 12 hours until it renews again
[08:00] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, /msg nickserv register help
[08:01] <riotkittie> CheeseGardener: your nickname?  /msg nickserv register <password>   ... and possibly <email address>
[08:01] <mattgyver83> phaedra, forgive me what is k3b?
[08:01] <riotkittie> or /msg nickserv help register
[08:01] <KurtKraut> Phrozen_One, do you own/administrate the DHCP server?
[08:01] <mattgyver83> nm
[08:01] <malnilion> mattgyver83, a cd/dvd burning application
[08:01] <MasterShrek> !k3b | mattgyver83
[08:01] <ubotu> mattgyver83: k3b is a feature-rich and user-friendly burning application for KDE (and, as all KDE applications, works fine on GNOME). For a guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K3BHowto
[08:01] <Phrozen_One> KurtKraut, no I do not, and for info purposes its win2k3
[08:01] <phaedra> mattgyver83,  Similar to nero...
[08:01] <xen_> I'm having a little trouble setting up  apache/mysql/php. I'm wishing for some help
[08:01] <fstab_ahab> look, somebody loves us!! lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fRiMvzhAZc
[08:02] <malnilion> Better than nero because it's truly free ;)
[08:02] <KurtKraut> Phrozen_One, oh, I see. I wish you luck :P
[08:02] <mattgyver83> Can that burn lightscribe dvds?
[08:02] <gregorovius> I have a motherboard with a realtek 850 audio chip... anybody knows why it might be that ac3 passthrough works with OSS but not with ALSA?
[08:02] <Phrozen_One> KurtKraut, thank you
[08:02] <nextse7en> Anyone? A how to article for running a fiesty server for thin clients?

[08:05] <riotkittie> doh. guess i'm going to have to stop being lazy and start doing it manually. :\
[08:06] <xen_> Please, this will help me a lot if you know how to set the root password for mysql.
[08:06] <riotkittie> or i could be super lazy, downgrade back to dapper and copy everything over then. :D
[08:06] <Flannel> xen_: That link

[08:06] <riotkittie> which would require more effort, but less. at the same time. <ponders>
[08:07] <JKirk_> can anyone tell me why I can't boot into X but I can reinstall nvidia drivers from cmd prompt and then do startx and it works fine...but as soon as I reboot it doesn't work again... any help?
[08:07] <riotkittie> but then i'd miss the cube. i'm pathetic. i only installed feisty because i wanted compiz the easy way :x
[08:07] <fstab_ahab> lol I love people that learn how to use the bot and start spamming it for every single little thing.
[08:08] <riotkittie> JKirk_: that's odd. uhm. check /var/log/Xorg.0.log (or the other Xorg logs there) and see if it says anything?
[08:08] <Kousotu> can someone help with bootpart?
[08:08] <fstab_ahab> to funny
[08:08] <riotkittie> !botabuse
[08:08] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...

[08:08] <CheeseGardener> How do you make a Live CD with BartPE?
[08:08] <pants> my vaio seems to not like having 2 batteries in it.  looking at acpi_listen, ac_adapter ACAD 00000000 00000001 just keeps repeating and my laptop slows to a crawl with a super choppy mouse
[08:09] <riotkittie> CheeseGardener: eh. its been so long since i looked at Bart that i've forgotten. i believe there are easy to follow directions on the site, though
[08:09] <mariko> I have  a Toshiba laptop with Dapper ,but no sound. in ubuntuforum they claim i should upodate the BIOS. how dop i do that?
[08:09] <root> hola
[08:09] <Vittorio> hello
[08:09] <JKirk_> riotkittie, welpl...when I run it now it says it's ok... it found the card fine...but when I look at the log after reboot it says it can't find a compatible card...doesn't make any sense
[08:09] <riotkittie> mariko: you'd need to find out who made your bios, visit their site, download the upgrade if one is available...  put it on a floppy probably, and run it after a reboot
[08:10] <mariko> riotkittie, thank you. is there a command that will tell me who made the bios?
[08:10] <phreck> mariko: go to toshibas website.
[08:10] <Scrampy> find motherboard model number and search for latest bios :)
[08:11] <riotkittie> mariko: no. but when you boot, you should see it, on the initial screen. ...   yea, go to toshiba's website. if they dont have the files there, they probably have links to it
[08:11] <rockets> For gaming, a 3 Ghz core 2 duo would be better then a 2.4 ghz core 2 quad, right?
[08:11] <riotkittie> err. how old is this laptop?
[08:11] <faileas> rockets: depends
[08:11] <Scrampy> you can also use a program like isandra to find motherboard details and bios version
[08:12] <rockets> faileas: if the game is designed to support SMP or not
[08:12] <mariko> riotkittie, this laptop is 5 years old...
[08:12] <faileas> yup
[08:12] <potissimus> anyone willing to help out with a mythtv/partitioning question privately?
[08:12] <pants> is my 2 battery issue some wierd acpi bug?
[08:13] <riotkittie> mariko: and what kind of soundcard/chip does it have?
[08:13] <riotkittie> ooh brb. i need to reboot
[08:13] <mariko> riotkittie, i dont know , dapper doesnt show any soundcard in lspci and i dont know how to look for it,
[08:14] <freakytallkid> memo to self, do not mark EVERY package in Synaptic...
[08:14] <riotkittie> mariko: ahh. did the people who told you to flash the bios have experience with your laptop?
[08:14] <riotkittie> or do you not know?
[08:15] <mariko> riotkittie, this is a problem cause i couldnt google any advice for my model -dynabook
[08:15] <mariko> i could only find other toshiba laptops...

[08:20] <mariko> anybody knows anything about enabling sound in a TOSHIBA DYNABOOK LAPTOP, RUNNING DAPPER?
[08:20] <pants> where do i report bugs with acpi?
[08:21] <sSiroSoriSs> mariko, google would be ur best chance for finding others with same issue
[08:21] <arathald> poningru: says somethign about "Microcode 'bcm43xx_microcode5.fw' not available or load failed."
[08:22] <poningru> arathald: right then go to synaptic and search for fwcutter
[08:22] <nextse7en> Need some help with LTSP, do I need two ethernet interfaces to run it if I also want the server connected to the internet, or can it all share the same inteface?
[08:22] <poningru> arathald: and install that packet
[08:22] <mariko> sSiroSoriSs,  google has let me down....
[08:22] <Kousotu> sSiroSoriSs check pm
[08:22] <poningru> or follow that link
[08:23] <sSiroSoriSs> mariko, try different distribution
[08:23] <poningru> nextse7en: yes just have a router
[08:23] <mariko> sSiroSoriSs, great idea , thanks
[08:23] <nextse7en> thanks poninru
[08:24] <nextse7en> poningru Can you explain to me what this means then, in laymens terms "You need to set up one static interface where you will attach the thin clients" (fomr the ltsp quick install doc)
[08:25] <BaD_CrC> if i were to uncheck 'gdm' in the services applet and reboot, i'd get the CLI login, right?
[08:25] <poningru> nextse7en: that means the interface must not be dependent on dhcp
[08:25] <jayde_drag0n> i need the name of a program that will convert m4p to mp3 or ogg
[08:25] <poningru> as in it must always have the same ip
[08:25] <nextse7en> poningru: And what does this mean "Configure your spare interface for the thin clients to have the IP 192.168.0.1"?
[08:25] <poningru> jayde_drag0n: mencoder
[08:25] <jayde_drag0n> poningru... thanks!
[08:25] <BaD_CrC> mencoder/transcode
[08:26] <poningru> nextse7en: thats assuming you have more than one interface
[08:26] <poningru> as in network card
[08:26] <poningru> nextse7en: easiest way for you to do this would be to use edubuntu
[08:26] <poningru> and then remove the kids educational packages
[08:26] <nextse7en> poningru: Thanks much, so ltsp pretty much works out of the box, and will boot any machine that is set to boot from pxe on the network?
[08:27] <poningru> I think so
[08:27] <studeringaaron> hi everyone
[08:27] <potissimus> I'm installing Ubuntu right now and want to use it with mythtv.  on my first hdd, I'd like the os so I have an ext3 and swap partition filling it.  I'd like the second hdd to be storage for mythtv only.  Is it possible to partition for this, and if so, how?
[08:27] <poningru> but I think there is some way to restrict that with mac id
[08:27] <poningru> but not hundred percent sure
[08:28] <Kousotu> can someone help with bootpart? (NOT GRUB)
[08:28] <nextse7en> poningru: Thanks for your time and answers :)
[08:28] <poningru> np
[08:28] <solid_liq> potissimus: of course, consult the mythTV docs to see where it looks for its files
[08:28] <the_giver> hi
[08:28] <sSiroSoriSs> potissimus, i'm not sure about how mythtv works
[08:28] <poningru> potissimus: #ubuntu-mythtb
[08:28] <poningru> err
[08:28] <poningru> potissimus: #ubuntu-mythtv
[08:28] <poningru> !mythtv
[08:28] <ubotu> MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[08:29] <poningru> Kousotu: bootpart?
[08:29] <potissimus> sorry, i'll try there
[08:29] <the_giver> if i started a site.. about linux .. do you guys think people in the linux be interestd in making video tutorials for people tow atch and learn more about linux? I always wanted a site like that when i started out but I never found one
[08:29] <the_giver> linux community*
[08:29] <poningru> we have one
[08:29] <the_giver> like with tutorials on basic command line
[08:29] <the_giver> really?
[08:29] <the_giver> link?
[08:29] <poningru> yeah jenda runs it
[08:29] <sauvin> I think maybe videos about command line tutorials would be... um... BORING.
[08:29] <poningru> ubuntututorials.com?
[08:29] <poningru> I think
[08:29] <poningru> hold on
[08:30] <jayde_drag0n> dumb question.. i found that i have mencoder installed... but when i try to run the program nothing happens?
[08:30] <poningru> http://ubuntuclips.org/
[08:30] <poningru> jayde_drag0n: thats cause its a command line program
[08:30] <arathald> poningru: well, that was a whole lot easier than i expected, thanks
[08:31] <poningru> arathald: you can blaim broadcom for your troubles
[08:31] <jayde_drag0n> poningru: any other program i could use... i honestly am just too daunted by having to do a command line for 200 songs
 gmplayer is mplayer's gui
[08:31] <poningru> jayde_drag0n: uh... for that many songs I would want to do it in command line
[08:31] <arathald> poningru: well, i ran ubuntu for a long time before, and it seemed like it just stopped working (was a while ago), i dont remember ever having to install firmware before
[08:31] <poningru> jayde_drag0n: what kinda song is it?
[08:31] <sauvin> Actually, I'd DEMAND a command line for 200 songs.
[08:32] <poningru> and what are you converting it to?
[08:32] <sauvin> Drag 'n' drop for 200 of the little critters, that's, just WRONG.
[08:32] <Javid> Is there a way to get apt-get to not check the pgp key of a repository? subkeys.pgp.net is down and this is keeping me from installing stuff.
[08:32] <studeringaaron> i ghot a dumb question guys i already have ubuntu 7.04 and i want kde is it eaiser to just get and install kububtu or can i add kde on mine
[08:32] <jayde_drag0n> poningru: i cam over from windows... i have over 200 songs that i purchased from itunes
[08:32] <faileas> hmm
[08:32] <MasterShrek> studeringaaron, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[08:32] <sauvin> studeringaaron, depending on what you installed FROM, you might already have KDE installed.
[08:33] <studeringaaron> no i dont have kde installed it installed gnome
[08:33] <sauvin> When you get to the graphical login screen after a reboot, look along the LOWER LEFT corner of the screen for "Options".
[08:33] <Flannel> Javid: --allow-unauthenticated might be what you're looking for
[08:33] <Javid> mahala.
[08:33] <studeringaaron> ahhhhhh thank you
[08:33] <anvd23> hi all
[08:33] <jayde_drag0n> poningru: i just want to play the damn things... sooo i want to convert them to either mp3 or whatever else will play... and i don't really want to type 50millions lines of code to convert them all
[08:33] <faileas> anyone ever used wubi on a system that has a recovery partition? does the bootloader fo back to the original on uninstall?
[08:33] <ggarlic_> hey,does anyone know can kde4 works well with ubuntu7.04
[08:33] <sSiroSoriSs> studeringaaron, what i would do is google + download 'ubuntu ultimate edition'
[08:33] <Javid> doesn't work
[08:33] <poningru> jayde_drag0n: ah itunes songs
[08:33] <MasterShrek> ggarlic_, kde4 isnt out yet
[08:33] <studeringaaron> ultimate 10-4 rubber ducky
[08:34] <poningru> thats the stuff with drm
[08:34] <Phrozen_One> is it possible to kill X while having all open console sessions running still, through some means?
[08:34] <MasterShrek> its still beta, if that even
[08:34] <Flannel> ggarlic_: Believe there's a kubuntu specific repository for it.  Check in #kubuntu
[08:34] <Javid> apt-get update fails and tells me to run apt-get update to fix it.
[08:34] <Flannel> Phrozen_One: you mean gnome-terminals?
[08:34] <poningru> jayde_drag0n: if you try to play it that will be illegal
[08:34] <sSiroSoriSs> studeringaaron, it comes with gnome,kde,enlightenment desktops + a tone of other programs
[08:34] <MasterShrek> Phrozen_One, not terminals that are open in the x session
[08:34] <jayde_drag0n> unfortunatley yes it is drm
[08:34] <nextse7en> Quick question, whats the command to start a root session of nautalus? I know, I, know, you recommend against.  In this case, I need to.
[08:34] <poningru> jayde_drag0n: are you in the US?
[08:34] <jayde_drag0n> yes i paid for my songs
[08:34] <jayde_drag0n> i want to play them
[08:34] <Flannel> nextse7en: gksu nautilus, and as you know, close it as soon as you can.
[08:34] <poningru> jayde_drag0n: are you in the US?
[08:34] <MasterShrek> nextse7en, gksu nautilus
[08:34] <jayde_drag0n> i'm in california to be exact
[08:34] <xtknight> jayde_drag0n, what format?
[08:34] <jayde_drag0n> m4p
[08:34] <poningru> jayde_drag0n: there is a way to play it
[08:35] <poningru> but I cant tell you
[08:35] <nextse7en> Thanks Flannel, MasterShrek.
[08:35] <poningru> cause thats helping you break drm
[08:35] <studeringaaron> ok cool now the gnome isnt a problem at all I just like the kde a lil better but i was wondering if it was a huge pain to switch it cause theres a build with kde as a default ya know
[08:35] <poningru> and I can go to jail for that
[08:35] <poningru> sorry
[08:35] <poningru> call up your senator and tell them you have shitty laws
[08:35] <xtknight> ah well a simple google will tell ya
[08:35] <MasterShrek> no studeringaaron but you will still have gnome there always
[08:35] <jayde_drag0n> simple google is not teling me
[08:35] <poningru> jayde_drag0n: I feel your pain and I am so sorry dude :(
[08:36] <studeringaaron> MasterShrek that isnt a problem i dont mind gnome i just like playing around and looking at kde is all
[08:36] <jayde_drag0n> dudette
[08:36] <poningru> sorry
[08:36] <poningru> dudette :)
[08:36] <MasterShrek> studeringaaron, i was on a big kde trip for awhile, but i just recently came back to gnome
[08:36] <jayde_drag0n> yes... girls exist on teh intarweb
[08:36] <MasterShrek> i do most from the command line anyway so the gui doesnt really matter to me
[08:36] <poningru> no wai :p
[08:36] <studeringaaron> ya thats why i would really like both so that i have that option
[08:37] <faileas> jayde_drag0n: the internet, where men are men, women are men, and little girls are FBI agents
[08:37] <jayde_drag0n> and i don't really care if its illegal or not... i am a pirate... and not only do i knwo about drm... but i can buckle a swash too :-P
[08:37] <Javid> arrrrrrrrr
[08:37] <MasterShrek> yea i installed kde as soon as i installed ubuntu, havent loaded it once yet tho lol, i use some of the progs tho
[08:37] <jayde_drag0n> LMAO little girls... fbi.... *giggle*
[08:37] <MasterShrek> sorry jayde_drag0n what are you trying to convert?
[08:37] <poningru> jayde_drag0n: I know, I'm so sorry but I cant take that risk :(
[08:38] <faileas> jayde_drag0n: there's a few apps for stripping DRM from apple stuff. just can't remember anything recent....
[08:38] <cafuego> phone!
[08:38] <MasterShrek> ohhh that lol
[08:38] <MasterShrek> yea good luck
[08:38] <jayde_drag0n> my actual *shock* purchased itunes songs.... so m4p... to i don't care which format
[08:38] <jayde_drag0n> yah i've found millions for windows
[08:38] <poningru> jayde_drag0n: but yeah if you remove the drm you can just play it
[08:38] <poningru> in ubuntu
[08:38] <jayde_drag0n> none for ubuntu that i can find
[08:38] <poningru> the format itself is playable
[08:39] <Flannel> jayde_drag0n: thats because they all depend on itunes, which only runs on windows and osx (and wine, I think?)
[08:39] <jayde_drag0n> i'd be happy to remove the drm if it means they will play
[08:40] <CheeseGardener> I can copy a file while it's running, right?
[08:40] <poningru> CheeseGardener: yes
[08:40] <sauvin> Um... what's a "running file"?
[08:40] <poningru> sauvin: I am assuming something thats being accessed
[08:41] <sauvin> yea, and if that something is an SQL table being updated...?
[08:41] <poningru> hehe
[08:41] <poningru> thats true
[08:41] <poningru> sauvin: I doubt a person is asking about that
[08:41] <poningru> in here
[08:41] <poningru> CheeseGardener: what kinda file?
[08:41] <sauvin> Fear.
[08:43] <poningru> sauvin: ofcourse its the 21st century
[08:44] <IowaDave> poningru: files can run, but can they hide?  :-)

[08:47] <sauvin> BTW... is 96x95 DPI a good density?
[08:47] <Javid> Does dist-upgrade ungrade the entire distro or what? I have Feisty now, would it up it to Gutsy?
[08:48] <IowaDave> sauvin: good density for what purpose?
[08:48] <sauvin> On screen.
[08:48] <macogw> Javid: yes
[08:49] <Javid> fanks
[08:49] <IowaDave> sauvin: I would think it is. In the old days 72x72 was typical and still the standard for web design, I think. 90-something is typical on modern systems.
[08:50] <studeringaaron> gutsy when did that happen?
[08:50] <macogw> studeringaaron: not out yet
[08:50] <macogw> studeringaaron: oct 18
[08:50] <Flannel> studeringaaron: it hasn't.  It will in october (7.10)
[08:50] <studeringaaron> ohh ok i was wondering am I that much of a noob lol

[09:00] <AnRkey> lumgwada, if you have an nvidia card then run sudo nvidia-setup
[09:00] <Sharalynn> Hi all
[09:00] <AnRkey> lumgwada, i run a dual screen at work and it's perfect on feisty and was fine on edgy too
[09:01] <mightydargo> nvidia is ideal for linux i think i have never had a problem with sound nor video cardsas far as compatability
[09:02] <mightydargo> cant say the same for the other companies
[09:03] <schloob> does anyone know if there's a simple command for running gnome "services"? i want to use ion3 instead of metacity but i want to use things such as theme/whatever associated with gnome also :o
[09:04] <lumgwada> Hi I've just done an upgrade on a dual screen box... the gnome session seems to have swapped the monitor sides... however the failsafe is still correct. Anyone have any idea what could be happening?
[09:05] <Bogaurd_> I have an ubuntu box, somehow the permissions tables in mysql got wiped - how can i recreate the permissions for debian-sys-maint?

[09:20] <florolf> hi
[09:22] <chuy> hi: how can I know my onboard graphics card chipset?
[09:23] <florolf> how come the ubuntu kernel supports my wlan-usb-stick (with a ZyDAS ZD1211 chip) flawlessly, whereas any other kernel (including the most recent vanilla one) simply breaks (as in, "doesn't set anything of the ESSID but the first character and leaving the Access Point-field 'Invalid'")
[09:23] <florolf> chuy: try lspci
[09:23] <doms> were can i download a animated desktop theme for ubuntu
[09:23] <doms> were can i download a animated desktop theme for ubuntu
[09:24] <florolf> ubuntu's using the zd1211rw variant of the driver, but so am i (i also tried the vendor drivers..)
[09:26] <Lucios> !iptables
[09:26] <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).
[09:27] <chuy> florolf http://pastebin.ca/647211 all I get is Unknon Device, I know my card is a VIA Unichrome, I tried the via driver but it doesn't work, any other ideas to make it work?
[09:27] <chuy> florolf also tried the unichrome but it also doesn't work :(
[09:28] <Lucios> hi
[09:28] <Lucios> whereis iptables config in ubuntu
[09:28] <florolf> chuy: how about a lspci -n?

[09:40] <Slart> bullgard4: dual core processor perhaps? just a wild guess.. I have two aswell
[09:41] <bullgard4> Slart: It seems that everybody has two of them. --  No, I do not use a dual-core processor.
[09:42] <bullgard4> CheeseGardener: I do have one. But it is old, and I do not use it any more.

[09:49] <spiderfire> will resizing for another partition wipe out my windows partition?
[09:49] <zero-1> make sure the rule is set to allow the following macs ad not to deny it
[09:49] <Slart> spiderfire: tastes a bit like chicken... or.. what do you want to know about it? it works... =)
[09:50] <spiderfire> Slart: just cause i know it had some probs
[09:50] <Slart> spiderfire: not if you do it right.. I haven't used it myself but I've talked to others who has
[09:50] <Slart> spiderfire: well.. there's some problems with flash and some codecs.. but most stuff work
[09:51] <Slart> spiderfire: if you want the easy path you go with the 32-bit version
[09:51] <spiderfire> Slart: i have that one
[09:52] <doms> how to use my screensaver as a animated wallpaper

[09:52] <Neurosis> Does anybody knows if revealing an "hidden SSID" from a unprotected network is possible without injection?
[09:52] <dimon08> hi all
[09:52] <Slart> spiderfire: I think there is one included on the install cd

[09:52] <dimon08> how to format html with bluefish?
[09:52] <Slart> spiderfire: I use gnome partition editor.. hasn't failed me yet
[09:53] <spiderfire> Slart: ok i just thought i tried once and it went
[09:53] <thx1137> spiderfire: you can also try Wubi
[09:53] <faileas> hmm
[09:53] <faileas> speaking of wubi..
[09:53] <thirst> Hi guys,
[09:53] <faileas> my windows system has a recovery partition i want to keep
[09:53] <davy> hi thirst
[09:54] <faileas> say if i wanted to use the recovery partition, and i uninstalled wubi, would the bootloader go back to pre wubi state?
[09:54] <thx1137> spiderfire: it's a windows installer that will create a "Virtual linux" partition, and won't interfere with your windows partitions.  That way you can test it out until your more comfortable with it.
[09:54] <spiderfire> Wubi: what do i need for that?
[09:54] <thirst> i wanted to install ubuntu-7.04 on a system without net connection. I was wondering what all pakages and deps do I have to download to have mplayer/gmplayer/xine to work well.
[09:55] <thx1137> spiderfire: http://wubi-installer.org/
[09:56] <spiderfire> thx1137: wubi runs in windows?
[09:57] <faileas> spiderfire: it installs and uninstalls in windows, boots into linux
[09:57] <KaiserData> someone know how to resize larger a ext3 partition please?
[09:57] <spiderfire> faileas: i can install a ubuntu 64bit with it also?
[09:57] <thx1137> faileas: as far as I know, Wubi shouldn't interfere with any windows partitions, but as I understand if you uninstall wubi, it should return your bootloader back to default.  I've only been using it for a couple of days, so don't take my word for it though ; P
[09:58] <thirst> is there any  iso available with all the packages (for 7.04) from medibuntu ?
[09:58] <spiderfire> wubi administrates the installing and partition management in windows
[09:59] <thx1137> spiderfire: so after ubuntu installs, when you boot your computer, you'll get a choice to either boot to Windows (defaults to windows) or to boot to Ubuntu
[09:59] <faileas> spiderfire: no idea, downloading it now myself
[10:00] <faileas> thx1137: in that case, i better ave my bootloader repair disk handy ;p
[10:00] <spiderfire> thx1137: and i can do a 64bit install?
[10:00] <thx1137> faileas: yeup, just in case
[10:01] <KaiserData> nobody know how to resize larger a ext3 partition please?
[10:01] <hacked_kernel> Is there a way to enter the passwd each time I use sudo?
[10:01] <thx1137> spiderfire: I don't believe so, not yet anyhow
[10:01] <spiderfire> i see
[10:01] <faileas> KaiserData: some flavour of parted?
[10:01] <faileas> like gparted or qtparted
[10:02] <faileas> hmm
[10:02] <faileas> also
[10:02] <KaiserData> gparted won't resize larger :S
[10:02] <faileas> o0
[10:02] <KaiserData> but smaller
[10:02] <faileas> i seem to remember it did, you'd just have to shrink another partition first
[10:02] <omegaweopon> Can I request some assistance here?
[10:02] <jdan> se
[10:03] <faileas> omegaweopon: just ask.
[10:03] <omegaweopon> Ok
[10:03] <KaiserData> I have deleted a partition placed juste before this partition
[10:04] <lasse_> I updated gnome (the auto-updates) and after the update my top menu has a completely different order first the time/date/ then search/network/sound/logout then applications and so on and then finally all my program shortcuts --- how do I rearrange it back to how it was with applications listed first ?
[10:04] <KaiserData> maybe the no-possessed space needs to be after this partition
[10:04] <KaiserData> no?
[10:04] <omegaweopon> I recently installed ubuntu after getting the feel for it realized that even with wine my games were often unplayable.  So I decided to fix that by dual booting windows XP as well.  I partitioned my 40 gig HDD into 3 parts, 25 gigs, 12 gigs, 256 megs   for windows linux and swap as recommended.
[10:05] <omegaweopon> Well, windows didn't get my wireless drivers.  Ubuntu did, so I can access the net with ubuntu
[10:05] <faileas> o0
[10:05] <thx1137> lasse_: if you right click over the item, and uncheck "Lock to Panel", it will allow you to move that item freely around in the panel
[10:05] <faileas> thats unusual
[10:06] <faileas> omegaweopon: and?
[10:06] <omegaweopon> I have the driver exe on my desktop as we speak, but I can't access tis partition in windows, and I can access my windows partition with ubuntu just wit read only access, and I can't change the permissions
[10:06] <faileas> KaiserData: not as far as i know... might want to ceck out parted
[10:06] <thx1137> lasse_: and when your done positioning the item, you can right click it again and lock it back.
[10:06] <faileas> omegaweopon: 2 options
[10:07] <thx1137> lasse_: you'll have to right click each item you want to move
[10:07] <lasse_> thx1137: that's perfect :) any idea why it rearranged the items on its own ?
[10:08] <faileas> NTFS 3g in linux, or a ext2 driver in windows http://www.fs-driver.org/download.html is what i have had VERY good luck with
[10:08] <IR4> someone fit with networks ?
[10:08] <thx1137> lasse_: nope, honestly, I've only been using this for a few days.  The same thing happened to me though, but hasn't happened since.
[10:09] <hacked_kernel> Is there a way to enter the passwd each time I use sudo by disabling that time after using sudo in the first tim?
[10:09] <ashnur> hi
[10:09] <IR4> hi
[10:09] <lasse_> thx1137:  okay ... well as long as it's not at regular thing im okay with it :)
[10:09] <omegaweopon> Faileas: I have no access to the internet in windows, and cant seem to put anything on the windows partition
[10:10] <seon> i am planning to install Boost c++ on my ubuntu , how can i connect the linux system and my boost directory?
[10:10] <faileas> omegaweopon: in that case you want to install NTFS-3G on ubuntu
[10:10] <KaiserData> faileas, I'm french so ... I don't succed with gparted if you know another soft able to do that
[10:10] <IR4> /name
[10:10] <thx1137> lasse_: just remember to lock them back into position when you're done
[10:10] <sauvin> What's being French got to do with anything?
[10:11] <faileas> !NTFS-3G > omegaweopon
[10:11] <faileas> !NTFS3g
[10:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs3g - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:11] <faileas> ...
[10:11] <omegaweopon> faileas: I got it
[10:11] <lasse_> thx1137: locked! :) thanks a lot! :)
[10:11] <seon> KaiserData> i am french too and gparted can be use in french
[10:11] <ashnur> i'm trying to install ubuntu from a minimalcd. the problem is that i have to change my MAC address to have an internet connection. i've tried ifconfig eth0 hw. but did nothing on the MAC. any ideas?
[10:11] <faileas> KaiserData: none free. but i know i have resized, and increased the size of drives in gparted
[10:11] <thx1137> lasse_: glad I could help! enjoy!
[10:11] <lasse_> :)
[10:11] <faileas> omegaweopon: no thumbdrive or anything?
[10:12] <buzzer2> anyone here, who knows how to chek, what urls a program open?
[10:12] <faileas> ashnur: MAC address is hardware based
[10:12] <ashnur> faileas, i know, but it can be changed.
[10:12] <KaiserData> seon, ce n'est pas le probleme, mais je parle de ces explications ensuite si tu sais bien lire je dis que le probleme c'est que gparted ne veut pas redimensionner en plus grand
[10:12] <faileas> lol
[10:12] <buzzer2> in english? ^^
[10:12] <faileas> je comprend un peux francais ;)
[10:12] <omegaweopon> Faileas: If I had that I wouldn't be asking this question, or at least have need to
[10:13] <seon> KaiserData> come in pv i will explain

[10:16] <faileas> omegaweopon: what did i do this time? ;p

[10:21] <charli1> i ran the .bin file
[10:21] <charli1> all went well

[10:32] <SineFato> howlingmadhowie: ok awsome, thanks
[10:32] <yohan> when recompiling the kernel, what arch should i choose if i have a core duo 2?
[10:33] <ThanatosDrive> Is there a gaim irc channel?
[10:33] <howlingmadhowie> yohan: if i remember correctly there are 32bit and 64 bit core duo 2 chips. what architecture is your present kernel?
[10:33] <Busata> !pidgin | ThanatosDrive
[10:33] <ubotu> ThanatosDrive: pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[10:33] <Busata> ThanatosDrive: #pidgin :-)
[10:34] <charli1> ok, I did.  It says for Ubuntu 7.04 (my ver.), sun-java6-bin.  I did sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin and it says it cant find the package
[10:34] <Myrtti> do you have the needed repositories enabled?
[10:34] <charli1> how would I check which are enabled?
[10:35] <sSiroSoriSs> it's in the book
[10:35] <Myrtti> from synaptic for example
[10:35] <yohan> howlingmadhowie: 32bit
[10:35] <charli1> wait..I got it
[10:35] <sSiroSoriSs> the manolo
[10:35] <charli1> i just enabled the multiverse...which was not enabled
[10:35] <yohan> howlingmadhowie: im in menuconfig...just wondering which one to select to get SMP support too
[10:35] <howlingmadhowie> yohan: then go for one of the 32-bit options. i thought that the linux kernel since 2.6.18 has included smp by default
[10:36] <sSiroSoriSs> the worst case of schizophrenia in the world?
[10:36] <yohan> i dunno
[10:36] <charli1> im doing a sudo apt-get update to refresh my repositories
[10:36] <charli1> it's taking a while though.
[10:36] <howlingmadhowie> yohan: i think i remember reading something on kernel.org about that
[10:36] <yohan> isnt there some special one i shoudl select?
[10:37] <yohan> howlingmadhowie: where on that page? :D
[10:37] <sSiroSoriSs> that's what one of my doctors wrote in a letter addressed to my mum, after explaining to me that I wasnt really Daniel at all. I was Jesus, and my thoughts were that of Gods.
[10:38] <charli1> sweet.  thanks.  i guess the correct repositories weren't enabled by default.  Now i'm downloading java6 : )  peace out!

[10:39] <sSiroSoriSs> hi arikael_
[10:41] <howlingmadhowie> yohan: you'll have to read the change logs for each kernel version--> not fun. i'm trying to find some information elsewhere
[10:41] <sSiroSoriSs> which gateway arikael_ ?
[10:41] <arikael_> the one I can define with route
[10:41] <yohan> howlingmadhowie: thanks man...what im looking for really, is which processor family i should select
[10:41] <sSiroSoriSs> there's an IP configuration tool in system/preferences menu
[10:42] <arikael_> I only have the console

[10:45] <Busata> Damienww: just ask your question, somebody will reply if they can help you :)
[10:45] <howlingmadhowie> yohan: with that chip you should be able to use the most modern pentium version available
[10:46] <DocTomoe> arikael_: something like "sudo route del default gw OLDIP && sudo route add default ge NEWIP" should work

[10:52] <DocTomoe> abhibera: try to delete some unneeded files in your home dir
[10:52] <rbow> aptitude clean give back some space ;)
[10:52] <abhibera> DocTomoe: i want to find out which are the largest files on the system
[10:52] <DocTomoe> abhibera: apt-get autoremove might be in order, too
[10:52] <abhibera> DocTomoe:  is there any way to do it?
[10:52] <rbow> treesize is your prog
[10:52] <turbolover> what about them ATI driverS? they are great, arent they?
[10:52] <DocTomoe> abhibera: you do not want to do this. it might be an necessary system file
[10:53] <abhibera> DocTomoe: well i am smart enough to distinguish that :)
[10:53] <SineFato> Hi. Sorry to be bother you all so much today but how do I edit a read-only file. I know about sudo but I don't know how to edit in the command line

[10:57] <MARIUSmarius> hey, i was wondering if there's possible to play lineage 2 on ubuntu?
[10:57] <howlingmadhowie> SineFato: and then :q to quit
[10:57] <SineFato> DocTomoe: crap. It opened the file but when I try to type or anythign the curser jumps around
[10:57] <crypt> hi..! i am looking for limewire on ubuntu
[10:58] <davidw> here's one: ocasionally I'll do a 'ps', wait 10 seconds, and see that the process number jumped by 5/6 numbers.  Is there a tool to tell me exactly what those processes are?
[10:58] <thirst> is nvidia-glx pacakge part of ubuntu cd ?
[10:59] <MARIUSmarius> thirst i don't think so
[10:59] <thirst> is there any problem if I use the installer from nvidia site, rather than nvidia-glx ? I want it for a legacy card.
[11:00] <DocTomoe> SineFato: you might want to learn vi.
[11:01] <SineFato> DocTomoe: ^^;  yeah i suppose that would help. is there a guide online or a readme somewhere
[11:02] <DocTomoe> SineFato: type "vimtutor" on the shell
[11:02] <ThanatosDrive> How do I get more screensavers?
[11:02] <Lustblader> i can't seem to start up ubuntu... .xcommand file i edited seems to have created this problem.. what should i do?
[11:03] <SineFato> DocTomow: on the shell? sorry I'm still very new
[11:03] <Lustblader> SineFato in the console window he means
[11:04] <cE^cAnTEq> hyyyyyyyyyy
[11:04] <izanbardprince> thirst: You're better off using nvidia-glx unless your card can benefit from the latest drivers
[11:04] <SineFato> it says not found. do i need to apt-get it?
[11:04] <Lustblader> yup SineFato
[11:04] <thirst> izanbardprince:  which repository can I get it from ?
[11:05] <izanbardprince> thirst: Are you using Feisty?
[11:05] <thirst> izanbardprince:  yes, i want to install it on a fiesty machine.
[11:05] <SineFato> Lustblader: apt-get can't find it
[11:05] <predaeus> davidw, you can use "man nameofprogram" to get info about most programs. quit with 'q'.
[11:06] <izanbardprince> thirst: System/Administration/Restricted Drivers Manager, select the "Enable" box next to "Nvidia accelerated graphics driver"
[11:06] <Lustblader> search for it in the ubuntu repositories
[11:06] <Lustblader> !vimware
[11:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vimware - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:06] <Lustblader> !vmware
[11:06] <ubotu> 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
[11:06] <izanbardprince> click yes to confirm, let it install, reboot when prompted
[11:07] <SineFato> So you can find a full list of the apt-get stuff online somewhere?
[11:07] <izanbardprince> thirst: I recommend nvidia-glx because anytime there is a kernel update, you'll have to rebuild the kernel modules from source if you use the driver package from Nvidia
[11:07] <Lustblader> type sudo apt-get install vmware
[11:07] <izanbardprince> so basically, it breaks the driver every time there's a security patch
[11:07] <gabz> SineFato, yes http://packages.ubuntu.com/

[11:09] <verboz> hi all
[11:09] <izanbardprince> of course it's easier to get the CD image of the Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, disable the time bomb, and then burn it to CD
[11:09] <SineFato> lustblader: no I'm looking for a way to edit a readonly file
[11:09] <izanbardprince> the eval key will still activate it
[11:09] <howlingmadhowie> oh sorry. it's done it. you can just deselect smb share on right click->share. it just takes a few seconds to be broadcast
[11:10] <Lustblader> SineFato what kinda file is it?
[11:10] <vm> hey all, i just installed ubuntu 7.10 tribe 3, how do i get desktop effects working if i have an ati video card?
[11:10] <cE^cAnTEq> hy..............
[11:10] <izanbardprince> it should list your ATI card in the Restricted Driver Manager
[11:10] <SineFato> lustbalder: its the boot menu.lst
[11:10] <izanbardprince> just enable it
[11:10] <vm> wheres that?
[11:11] <verboz> have pb with automatix, when i upgrade to feisty, package installed with automatix like mp3 codecs and other packages don't work, and when i remove and reinstall automatix and run it, it don't how to me all package
[11:11] <izanbardprince> System/Administration/Restricted Driver Manager
[11:11] <vm> its not there
[11:11] <Lustblader> SineFato cd /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:11] <gabz> vm maybe you should try 7.04 7.10 tribe 3 is a pre-release version
[11:11] <Stokesy> whats the best way to set up a drive to share between a windows/ubuntu dualboot?
[11:11] <verboz> it show just package not installed with edgy version
[11:11] <Stokesy> which file system?
[11:11] <vm> gabz, i have had 7.04 for 3months or so
[11:11] <Lustblader> SineFato cd /boot/grub
[11:11] <gabz> vm and should be discussed in #ubuntu+1
[11:11] <Lustblader> then sudo gedit menu.lst
[11:11] <vm> and had it working good, i cannot find the restricted driver manager
[11:12] <izanbardprince> verboz: With the Edgy version, remove all the installed packages
[11:12] <izanbardprince> install Automatix for Feisty, and re-install everything
[11:12] <verboz> izanbardprince, i have feisty now

[11:13] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > hi all, is fiesty fawn supported under VMWare?
[11:13] <gabz> vm see #ubuntu+1 channel. i haven't actaully installed 7.10 yet so i got no idea
[11:13] <Lustblader> 7.10 is out?
[11:13] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > well, i use player
[11:13] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > but ok
[11:13] <faileas> DJ-DrIP[AR] : i personally couldn't get it to run. it installs, but it won't boot first time
[11:13] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > i see
[11:13] <faileas> Lustblader: for quite a while!
[11:13] <izanbardprince> Automatix works fine on Feisty, theres maybe 10 packages it doesn't pull from the official repos
[11:13] <Lustblader> darn
[11:13] <SineFato> lustblader: so do sudo normal programs you just do it in the command line but with the name of the program?
[11:13] <izanbardprince> and none of them would break a system update
[11:13] <Lustblader> i'm still on 7.04
[11:14] <gabz> Lustblader, no
[11:14] <izanbardprince> if you can't get them removed through Automatix, just apt-get remove them
[11:14] <izanbardprince> or go searching through Synaptic
[11:14] <gabz> Lustblader, 7.10  beta  hasn't even been released.
[11:15] <Lustblader> then what are these ppl talking bout gabz?
[11:15] <izanbardprince> it's true that Automatix isn't the most well behaved app, but I can't see how it would "break" anything
[11:15] <SineFato> I just downloaded today and I'm only on 7.04

[11:17] <thx1137> rbo1: awesome, thanks alot, i'll give it a try  =)
[11:18] <gabz> SineFato,  yeah open the mp3 file in totem it should auto download the codec
[11:19] <izanbardprince> Gutsy Gibbon has so far included most stuff one would use Automatix for anyway
[11:19] <gabz> SineFato, if it's playing nice.
[11:19] <SineFato> gabz: where is totem? do i need to apt-get it
[11:19] <thx1137> Oh yea, totem, that reminds me, anyone know how to open two or more videos through totem at once?
[11:20] <thx1137> like, to open another video in a "new window"?

[11:22] <Stokesy> I think they are some weird codec that only WMP can play
[11:22] <Stokesy> some sort of asf
[11:23] <SineFato> Gabz: sweet it worked this time. Thank you :-D
[11:23] <gabz> Stokesy, they are a streaming format to memory so yeah may be WMP only have you tired the w32codecs ?

[11:23] <Stokesy> where can i get those
[11:24] <chasetoys> how can i kill the gui login
[11:24] <chasetoys> and let me login with just text
[11:24] <izanbardprince> mplayer can handle wma/wmv, but only if theres no DRM
[11:24] <gabz> stokesy either added the medibuntu packages or use automatix etc..

[11:30] <rbo1> you can handle your startingdeamons with rcconf
[11:30] <thx1137> rbo1: is it only command lines?
[11:30] <rbo1> gdm = gnomedisplaymanager
[11:30] <chasetoys> rbo1, i'm a linux newb, i need more explicit instructions ;p
[11:30] <jamesdell> savvas, my option "community-maintained open source software (universe)" is already enabled...

[11:31] <dice14u> I am only getting resolutions up to 640x480
[11:31] <savvas> jamesdell: I tried "obex" and got results, maybe it's not an obexserver package, or maybe it's not included :)
[11:31] <rbo1> why you want switch off your logingui ?
[11:31] <savvas> jamesdell: if it's the latter case, then you'll have to google your way to find it
[11:31] <jamesdell> savvas, that is what im doing now :)
[11:32] <savvas> defcon: system > administration > restricted devices manager - is your graphics card checked?
[11:32] <chasetoys> rbo1, ok so i did sudo rconf... whats next
[11:32] <fchia> gfcyughgfyug

[11:33] <chasetoys> rbo1, how do i switch on/off stuff
[11:34] <rbo1> fir starting manually your xserver type stsrtx or gdm
[11:34] <savvas> jamesdell: why do you need obexserver? which program requires that package?
[11:34] <chasetoys> rbo1, but how do i switch gdm off
[11:34] <chasetoys> from rcconf
[11:34] <defcon> brb
[11:34] <SineFato> I was messing with apt-get and kinda downloaded KDE on too ubuntu (soon after removed it) but when messing with the stuff on the log in screen to choose gnome or KDE there was somethign called Xscript. Anyone know what that is?
[11:34] <kameron> is there a way to replace all instances of X with Y in a file? perhaps using 'echo' and 'tee' ?
[11:34] <defcon> quick question, if I disable gdm in rcconf can I load it with startx
[11:35] <chasetoys> rbo1, ther are no instrucitons

[11:38] <chasetoys> can someone please help me?  i'm on a deadline
[11:38] <savvas> SineFato: ./ is the current directory
[11:38] <Stokesy> hmm, w32codecs doesnt seem to have worked, so can I assume that these files are wmp only?
[11:38] <rbo1> think you have to clear your session savings
[11:38] <dice14u> chasetoys sudo?
[11:39] <dice14u> oh login
[11:39] <dice14u> nvm
[11:39] <Stokesy> unless i need to do something special to activate w32codecs?
[11:39] <chasetoys> dice14u, huh?
[11:39] <savvas> Stokesy: close all your media players and install this package: totem-xine
[11:40] <rbo1> if the session your problem you can try to make a new user and login with the new one

[11:41] <Guest21379> unable to lock the administration directory
[11:41] <Guest21379> then it asks me if another process is using it?
[11:41] <Stokesy> when I added medibuntu to the repo's suddenly its saying i have updates for some of my packages, but they seem to be the same version just with +medibuntu on the end. what does this mean?
[11:41] <faileas> Guest21379: that means something else is currently using root. fot anything else going on?
[11:42] <Guest21379> how do i list the processes

[12:04] <dice14u> if you can run commands its chmod -R +rwxrwxrwx /tmp/

[12:05] <donvinzk> ompaul, it seems that my problem comes from kdm, with gdm I can shutdown cleanly

[12:10] <linq> how to change the encoder in the ssh of the Nautilus
[12:10] <xen_> hello
[12:10] <xen_> I'll just say it right now, this is one of those times
[12:10] <linq> i get the errror invalide unicode
[12:10] <dice14u> chasetoys: did it fix the issue completely?
[12:10] <xen_> If I can't get mysql to work I'm going to do something terrible
[12:11] <dice14u> i am restarting
[12:11] <xen_> I'm completely serious
[12:11] <xen_> if I can't get mysql to work I'm going to become a meth addict
[12:12] <xen_> Ubuntu has me in tears because if you mess up any program it won't even let you uninstall it
[12:12] <xen_> It's unbelievable, first apache2 and now mysql...
[12:12] <xen_> and I was so close to being done with the whole thing
[12:12] <Myrtti> xen_: calm down
[12:12] <Sonicadvance1> whao
[12:12] <Sonicadvance1> Breakdown
[12:13] <Myrtti> xen_: if you want help, please be more precise what you tried to do, what happened and where's the problem
[12:13] <xen_> I managed to delete my root account in mysql and now I don't know what to do.
[12:14] <xen_> I deleted all of the accounts
[12:14] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > what's the min ram Fawn will run under?
[12:15] <Myrtti> xen_: well now. Do you have anything valuable in the databases?
[12:16] <fakenick> xen, How did you do that?
[12:16] <xen_> no I don't have anything on the databases, I'm just starting the server. I already tried removing mysql...and just like apache2 I was unable to.
[12:16] <Myrtti> xen_: how did you try to remove it?
[12:16] <xen_> I tried synaptic and command line --purge
[12:17] <predaeus> DJ-DrIP[AR] , not sure I think the normal installer needs around 300MB or something. With the alternative installer you can get away with less. If you are low on ram probably check out xubuntu as it's libs are less memory hungry.
[12:17] <xen_> it says theres an error or something...
[12:17] <xen_> eh...
[12:17] <Myrtti> something? please be more precise
[12:17] <peddler_dude> What's the "error or something" ...?
[12:17] <xen_> well...
[12:17] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > ahh
[12:17] <xen_> I had the same problem with apache2
[12:17] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > i was only givin it 128 mg
[12:18] <xen_> I did something I shouldn't have and it would'nt let me uninstall
[12:18] <peddler_dude> xen, Stop being a drama queen and lay out the facts otherwise no one can help you.
[12:18] <Myrtti> xen_: sorry, I've left my crystal ball home, you'll have to try to describe the problem and error better
[12:18] <alesan> hi do you have an idea how to disable the "switch user" button when you logout?
[12:18] <predaeus> DJ-DrIP[AR] , scan https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation  there should be details in there somewhere.
[12:18] <alesan> where can I find the config of such thing?
[12:19] <xen_> hold on I'll try again, please tell me the command line to uninstall mysql if you know it.
[12:19] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > kk
[12:19] <peddler_dude> alesan, Why would you want to?
[12:19] <peddler_dude> xen, Tell us the exact error it gives you when you try to.
[12:19] <alesan> peddler_dude, it seems there is a bug when using multiple displays
[12:19] <hamadooo> ubuntu is the best
[12:19] <alesan> the MIT cookie is not corretcly set
[12:20] <predaeus> DJ-DrIP[AR] , under system requirements it states 64MB of ram is minimum and if you have less than 192MB use the alternative install cd.
[12:20] <hamadooo> but i can't use  my laptop bluetooth on it
[12:20] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > ahh
[12:20] <hamadooo> i don't why
[12:20] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > i'm giving it 256 now
[12:20] <alesan> peddler_dude, but now we are looking for a quick solution.
[12:20] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > it's a bit smoother
[12:21] <peddler_dude> alesan, Hmm... could you password protect the "su" command?
[12:21] <peddler_dude> Or rather, change the permissions.
[12:21] <alesan> we are delivering lots of ubuntu machines for the schools in Macedonia. every machine will have 7 X displays
[12:21] <xo__> need help, have anyone use dosemu with ipx/spx and success?
[12:21] <peddler_dude> So only root can run it.
[12:22] <alesan> peddler_dude, I only want to let the "logout" applet not to show the "switch user" button
[12:22] <lousygarua> peddler_dude: maybe make it only readable by root
[12:22] <crypto> hi all. I have a question regarding ext3 file system. I currently have a file server running on my home network. I am using ubunty server as the OS. I currently have 3 hard drives (all formatted as ext3). My question: when i format it as ext3, i see a lost+found folder. Is it important to have this lost+found folder? Reason being I would like to mirror harddrive on sda with sdc so can I do a full hard drive rsync?
[12:23] <fraser> hi guys, how do i set it up so when i click on the title bar of a window and hold down, then press a key it'll move that window to a certain desktop?
[12:23] <Symmetria> hrm, any of the canonical people awake?
[12:23] <xen_> alright I'm about to report  on the error.
[12:23] <hamadooo> there iss no op here
[12:23] <lousygarua> fraser: r u on a regular ubuntu? without any beryl and such?
[12:24] <hamadooo> but dont worry guys im here
[12:24] <xen_> As soon as I highlight mysql 5.0 for removal it turns red, as if the package is broken.
[12:24] <fraser> lousygarua, yes i believe so. i believe this because i have no idea whta beryl is
[12:24] <xen_> but otherwise it's green
[12:25] <lousygarua> fraser: ok :) if you go to system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts i think there's a hotkey for moving the current button to desktop 1,2,3 etc
[12:25] <xen_> E: mysql-server-5.0: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[12:25] <xen_> that's the error message I get
[12:26] <fraser> lousygarua, yes but i know how to set it up so, for instance i can hold shift and press f5 to make it move the window, but i want to be able to hold the title bar with the mouse and press f5. i had it set up in my old install and it'
[12:26] <fraser> s frustratinfg that i keep pressing it and it's not working
[12:26] <xen_> E: mysql-server-5.0: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[12:27] <xen_> If I can't get this fixed I'm going to do something terrible
[12:27] <xen_> I'll probably become a drug addict
[12:27] <hamadooo> lol
[12:27] <lousygarua> fraser: hmm i don't know how to do that, but it's something related to the window manager, which is "Metacity" on default ubuntu
[12:27] <xen_> maybe heroin
[12:27] <xen_> maybe coke
[12:27] <lousygarua> fraser: maybe you can google about it or search ubuntuforums.org
[12:28] <xen_> i did
[12:28] <fraser> lousygarua, thanyou
[12:28] <xen_> I think myrtti might help me out
[12:29] <xen_> E: mysql-server-5.0: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
[12:29] <crypto> can someone answer my question on ext3 file system?
[12:29] <system79> Oi can someone help me? What file is my current resolution stored in?
[12:29] <system79> Screen resolution
[12:30] <xen_> system>preferences>desktop resolution
[12:31] <xen_> ubuntu is stubborn when it comes to file removal
[12:31] <xen_> I had to do a whole new install just to get apache2 working, and now this.

[12:36] <savvas> system79: install lynx and google it yourself :)
[12:36] <xen_> I do it all the time...I can't help it
[12:36] <gabz> system79, if you don't have an interface what program are you using for irc ? (out of interest)
[12:36] <sp_> xchat
[12:36] <savvas> gabz: irssi heh
[12:36] <system79> irssi
[12:36] <system79> :)
[12:36] <EvanLugh> If anyone is good with ndiswrapper, could you just point me in the right direction? I've read wikis etc for the last 5 hours, and I'm stuck on what seems an unknown problem
[12:36] <system79> sp_ you cant use xchat withou an interface dummy ;o
[12:37] <xen_> I have a strange body oder, it smells kinda like taco bell
[12:37] <FurryNemesis> !umount
[12:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about umount - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:37] <EvanLugh> managed to screenshot it though :)

[12:37] <peddler_dude> sp, Click on where it says 1035 users with your mouse.
[12:37] <EvanLugh> the screenshot pretty much sums it up, everything is installed/added but still no wlan0
[12:37] <Myrtti> xen_: sorry, had to take a little walk for a while
[12:38] <Myrtti> xen_: are you sure you don't have any other packagemanagement software open
[12:38] <sp_> i try it, thank you

[12:40] <FurryNemesis> does anyone know the umount option to force a dismount on a volume?
[12:40] <DEAthKA> ?
[12:40] <peddler_dude> I use w3m.  Its simple.
[12:40] <peddler_dude> I shouldn't say I use it, but I have used it before for a few things.
[12:40] <xen_> This is very frustrating, and I'm running low on time.
[12:41] <system79> Well im frustrated too xD
[12:41] <crypto> for ext3 file system, is it necessary to have the lost+found folder? i'm using the hard drives for storing data only as backup and would like to know if it is safe to remove lost+found folder.
[12:41] <system79> I really cant find the command to burn an iso in a commandline
[12:41] <BadReligionBrent> How do you boot terminal into root?
[12:42] <peddler_dude> crypto, Look up what the lost+found folder is for and ask yourself that question.  Its only really needed if there's a serious error of some kind and you need to find out what went wrong.
[12:42] <faileas> BadReligionBrent: you mean get something to run as root from terminal?
[12:42] <xen_> whos the person doing ndiswrapper
[12:42] <gabz> system79, i'll google you somthing
[12:42] <BadReligionBrent> yes
[12:42] <faileas> sudo command
[12:42] <xen_> I may be able to help
[12:42] <faileas> for example sudo apt-get install foo
[12:42] <crypto> peddler_dude: i know, i just wanted to get a 2nd opinion
[12:42] <opi> hi there, can anyone point me to apt repo that still keeps Breezy packages?
[12:43] <peddler_dude> opi, Why don't you upgrade?
[12:43] <BadReligionBrent> yeah, I'm trying to install aimject and there are a lot of components needed, and it keeps saying errors
[12:43] <gabz> system79,     sudo cdrecord dev=/media/cdrom0 speed=4 -v Downloads/k3b_0.iso
[12:43] <hakatu> Hi guys. I'm going to migrate from gentoo to ubuntu (maybe) and I'd like to know if there is any pain-free way to get intel 3945 working stable?

[12:43] <opi> peddler_dude: because I can't -- it's not important, I need few packages to build something
[12:43] <opi> peddler_dude: and archive.ubuntu.com dropped'em all

[12:45] <roger> EvanLugh, what graphics card are you running?
[12:45] <peddler_dude> xen, Did you try have synaptic reinstall the package?
[12:45] <DEAthKA> in Fedora this damn trick is working:(

[12:47] <EvanLugh> roger, DEAthKA: ATI Radion X1650 series
[12:48] <DEAthKA> mine is Intel 915 series
[12:48] <xen_> fuck linux time to become a drug addict
[12:48] <EvanLugh> Why can't we get a 1680x 1050 reso though, it's stupid :P
[12:48] <EvanLugh> lol xen
[12:48] <DEAthKA> 915 resolution is only for this after my knowle..
[12:49] <gabz> EvanLugh, the problem is ATI X series doesn't have a good driver blame ATI... buy intel or nvidia
[12:49] <EvanLugh> gabz: Euck
[12:49] <ompaul> !ohmy | xen_
[12:49] <ubotu> xen_: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[12:49] <alesan> if I change the gnome settings with gconf-editor I only change for the current user
[12:49] <xen_> I know I know
[12:49] <peddler_dude> EvanLugh, Look up the Envy script,  it might have support for your ATI card and will automate the installation.
[12:49] <xen_> I'm leaving
[12:49] <xen_> sorry
[12:49] <alesan> how can I change globally?
[12:49] <xen_> I just hate linux now
[12:49] <EvanLugh> I know this is probably deemed innacceptable, but I'm getting really frustrated (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3141259#post3141259)

[12:50] <opi> old-releases.ubuntu.com -- uff
[12:50] <yahya_> hello all :)
[12:50] <peddler_dude> xen, Maybe you should try FreeBSD, its a complete operating system and doesn't rely on distros like linux.
[12:50] <roger> EvanLugh, I'm not sure about your model, but I'm running an x1800 with the latest  proprietary ATI driver, both 1680x1050 and dual-head are available for me.
[12:50] <allanc> is there a "check torrent integrity" feature for deluge?
[12:50] <EvanLugh> hm
[12:50] <faileas> xen_: you have a life?
[12:51] <yahya_> how do i change the language i am inputting by the keyboard?
[12:51] <cant_use_ubuntu> hello
[12:51] <EvanLugh> hi
[12:51] <yahya_> hello
[12:52] <yahya_> how to change the input language?
[12:52] <gabz> yahya_, what do you want to change it too ?
[12:52] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > humm
[12:52] <cant_use_ubuntu> im having trouble upgrading to feisty with the cd
[12:52] <yahya_> gabz: arabic
[12:52] <EvanLugh> cant_use_ubuntu: whats the problem
[12:53] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > is it typical for instalation to go unbareably slow?
[12:53] <Akuma_> what do i need to get to get firefox-embeded quick time videos to run?
[12:53] <EvanLugh> depends on the spec of your computer I suppose, don't hold me to it though, DJ-DrIP[AR] 
[12:53] <peddler_dude> DJ, It depends on your patience level.
[12:54] <gnuskool> DJ-DrIP, what sort of hardware?
[12:54] <EvanLugh> took me 15 mins or so
[12:54] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > VMWare
[12:54] <gabz> yahya_, system -> adminsitration -> lanuage support
[12:54] <peddler_dude> The unbearableness of something is relative to the user.
[12:54] <cant_use_ubuntu> ubuntu cd wont autorun, tried running gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade"  get nothing
[12:54] <gabz> yahya_, if there is arabic support it will install the required files
[12:54] <lastnode> just wondering if anyone here is running bcm4318 on feisty?
[12:55] <gabz> cant_use_ubuntu, are you using the alternate cd  to do an ubuntu upgrade ?
[12:55] <DEAthKA> cant_use: check U cd first with MD5

[12:55] <EvanLugh> lol
[12:55] <gnuskool> all my downloaded packages are installed to /usr/bin by default, yet I see others were initially placed in /usr/local/bin......., can I just drag them across, or will that break other links????
[12:56] <gabz> gnuskool, that will break alot of stuff
[12:56] <DJ-DrIP[AR] > gnuskool, copy + paste ;)
[12:56] <DEAthKA> gnuskool: dont do that!
[12:56] <yahya_> gabz: done there, but my question is, while i am typing, how to change the language
[12:56] <peddler_dude> gnuskool, Is something not working?
[12:56] <yahya_> eg: in windows, you use Alt+shift
[12:56] <gnuskool> gabz, so leave it alone? BUt if I do and say I need to add fluxbox manu links, will i have to add links into all my window managers??
[12:57] <gnuskool> gabz, i wanna use flux, ice and xfce
[12:57] <wers> is there a check torrent data integrity feature for deluge?
[12:57] <gabz> yahya_, not familer with windows... i assume you mean change the keyboard layout
[12:57] <gabz> gnuskool, why can't use use xubuntu ?
[12:58] <gnuskool> gabz, i would except it doesent run on AMD, K6, 3DNow, 2/333MHz, my bios is too old, and cant find an update thru linux
[12:58] <yahya_> gabz, nope. like i am typing something in english, then suddenly i want to change it to arabic, so is there a key combination to switch languages back and forth?
[12:59] <EvanLugh> i guess ill be switching back to vista then
[12:59] <gabz> yahya_, i'm not sure if there is a keyboard shortcut to swap.
[12:59] <gnuskool> gabz, is there a central place to edit manu links that will carry across on all window managers?
[01:00] <gabz> gnuskool,  no idea sorry
[01:00] <DEAthKA> gnu" dont think so
[01:00] <MVLinux> how i can creat shared folder on remot host(ubuntu server) ?
[01:01] <yahya_> oh no :(, this will be hard :S i swap languages very often
[01:01] <gabz> yahya_, can't see it in any of  the standard places you set shortcuts so maybe you should submit this as a feature request
[01:01] <mosno> is it true that it's best to defragment Vista's NTFS partition before letting Feisty resize it?
[01:02] <mosno> because Vista doesn't have an indicator as to how long it's expected for the defrag to take
[01:02] <EvanLugh> i dont see why it should matter
[01:02] <gabz> yahya_, and just because i don't know about it doesn't mean it's not there.
[01:02] <gnuskool> gabz, thx for your concentration :)
[01:02] <mosno> yea
[01:02] <yahya_> gabz, perhaps :) i will keep looking :)
[01:02] <DEAthKA> yahya: maybe U can fix this making a new profile setting U keybord option..and after change between profiles

[01:11] <LifeDJ> i'm new to ubuntu :S
[01:11] <fraser> gnuskool, is usenet free?
[01:12] <fraser> LifeDJ, i think i read an article you wrote on the forums.
[01:12] <gnuskool> fraser, there are free servers, read them using outlook, but for big downloads get an account
[01:13] <LifeDJ> i haven't wrote any thing ... i only have ubunto from yesterday

[01:13] <franzorz> Iam compeltly new to usenet. how do i use it?
[01:13] <fraser> franzorz, did you manage to fix your azureus problems?
[01:14] <stefg> LifeDJ: so you better refrain from beryl for the moment. It's still very unstable, and if you are inexperienced you rather go with Desktop effects which are in Feisty. learn the basics, before switching to alpha-stuff

[01:17] <ectospasm> stefg:  OK... I'm in so many other channels that have it I took it for granted (-:
[01:18] <gnuskool> franzorz, google a term like free newsgroup server for the servers, and google  newsreader
[01:18] <ectospasm> franzorz:  the program you use is up to you.  I know Thunderbird has Usenet capability... as for the server, you can use one provided by your ISP, or use something like giganews...
[01:18] <franzorz> i have, but got klibido and found some free servers, but then nothing :).
[01:19] <gnuskool> franzorz, then when setting up your newsreader, put the links you get to free news servers, and you're away

[01:30] <Lonniebiz> j/k
[01:30] <stefg> Lonniebiz: nothing to see here, move along
[01:30] <Lonniebiz> haha
[01:31] <CaneToad> ubuntu 7.04 won't boot properly from the successfully validated install media for me.  apricot screen.  can't install
[01:31] <CaneToad> any ideas?
[01:32] <gnuskool> Lonniebiz,  I wonder if hot chicks use ubuntu, that'll amke a great survey, but I don't think they answer those too, so guess we'll nerver know
[01:32] <stefg> CaneToad: can you get it to boot to console using the recovery boot option?
[01:32] <HyDraGeN> anyone tried installing safari with wine?
[01:34] <CaneToad> stefg, I'll have to try that...the "safe" graphics mode hangs, actually it hangs worse than the default boot
[01:34] <stefg> CaneToad: Ati graphics ?
[01:35] <CaneToad> yeah, 9700 mobility radeon
[01:35] <CaneToad> fedora boots fine
[01:35] <stefg> CaneToad: oh well...
[01:35] <stefg> !ati
[01:35] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:35] <CaneToad> thus far I am unable to install ubuntu at all, let alone graphics drivers
[01:35] <Lonniebiz> Anybody ever had a problem where you can boot, but it's always on the second try? On the first try, I always get tty failures and I have to reboot at the busybox prompt. After that, I boot right into Ubuntu.
[01:37] <stefg> CaneToad: blame ati for sucking hard on writing linux drivers... But 'm pretty sure there are other Ati victims around
[01:37] <Lonniebiz> indeed
[01:38] <CaneToad> the fedora linux distribution seems to be fine with this hardware, can't stuff be cross-ported?
[01:38] <CheshireViking> CaneToad, you could always try the alternate install cd, i've used that in the past when the live cd wouldn't work/install
[01:39] <CaneToad> is that also from the ubuntu download site, or elsewhere?
[01:39] <stefg> CaneToad: as a matter of fact, ubuntu uses more up-to-date versions. but this comes at a price with not so well supported hardware. YOu can get it to work, but juust not in a plug and play way
[01:40] <HyDraGeN> ANYONE TIRED INSTALLING SAFARI WITH WINE?
[01:40] <kimmey2k3> NO
[01:40] <HyDraGeN> ok ^^
[01:40] <HyDraGeN> finally someone answered
[01:40] <stefg> HyDraGeN: WON'T YOU STOP SHOUTING STUPID QUESTIONS?
[01:40] <Pici> HyDraGeN: I tried when it was first released, it didnt work.
[01:40] <boris_> my knotify seems to keep crashing and amarok says no MP3 support althrough i installed ubuntu extras... rhytmbox can play mp3 files
[01:40] <CheshireViking> !patience Z HyDraGeN

[01:42] <boris_>  my knotify seems to keep crashing and amarok says no MP3 support althrough i installed ubuntu extras... rhytmbox can play mp3 files. im using ubuntu feisty
[01:42] <ectospasm> yay!  the eject on my ipod finally works!  before, I'd say eject but the iPod screen would still say,"Do not disconnect"... Ubuntu is awesome!
[01:42] <DarkED> boris_: you want #kubuntu :)
[01:42] <boris_> ?
[01:42] <boris_> i dont have kde
[01:42] <boris_> oh
[01:42] <gnuskool> boris, what do the logs say?
[01:42] <DarkED> ahh
[01:42] <DarkED> sorry then
[01:42] <boris_> what logs
[01:42] <boris_> oh
[01:43] <ectospasm> amarok is is a KDE program
[01:43] <boris_> amarok had 1 bug crash
[01:43] <DarkED> yeah you need the kde codecs
[01:43] <boris_> ok then
[01:43] <boris_> sorry
[01:43] <DarkED> you've got the gnome codecs
[01:43] <boris_> what what what
[01:43] <boris_> how do i install them ?
[01:43] <stefg> !codecs
[01:43] <ubotu> 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
[01:43] <SeveredCross> What?
[01:43] <DarkED> ubuntu-restriced-extras gives you codecs for gnome apps...
[01:43] <boris_> ok thank u very much
[01:43] <DarkED> kde apps need a separate codec package, though i'm not sure which
[01:43] <SeveredCross> That's not KDE codecs vs. GNOME codecs..That's gstreamer vs. xine if anything
[01:44] <boris_> wait
[01:44] <boris_> how do i install them
[01:44] <stefg> SeveredCross: that's the smart way of putting it.
[01:44] <franzorz> i've got klibido and yottaanews free usenet server,  so how do i download? :D
[01:44] <Lonniebiz> anyone else using GAIM to chat here right now?
[01:44] <boris_> i did Click Applications  Add/Remove. In the top right, change the setting to All available applications. Then select Other in the left panel and then select the Ubuntu restricted extras package. Click OK.
[01:45] <gnuskool> franzorz, can you read posts now?
[01:45] <franzorz> nope
[01:45] <franzorz> doesn't do anything
[01:45] <Lonniebiz> Please tell me your favorite IRC client and why.
[01:45] <Lonniebiz> (I'm using GAIM)
[01:45] <stefg> !irc
[01:45] <ubotu> A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines
[01:45] <stefg> !best
[01:45] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[01:45] <Lonniebiz> not many features either
[01:45] <LiberCogito> Lonnibiz: Opera
[01:46] <SeveredCross> Meh, Opera.
[01:46] <LiberCogito> whats wrong with opera?
[01:47] <gnuskool> franzorz, i take it you entered in the server address, port number etc?
[01:47] <franzorz> yep
[01:48] <Lonniebiz> Does everyone agree "Opera" is the best for IRC on Ubuntu?
[01:48] <fraser> can anyone recommend a program that could possibly scan all the ports on my comp and tell me which are currently open?
[01:48] <stefg> no
[01:48] <stefg> !info netstat
[01:48] <DarthShrine> nmap?
[01:48] <echosystm> nmap
[01:49] <ubotu> Package netstat does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[01:49] <DarthShrine> Lonniebiz, Err, I wouldn't think so.
[01:49] <stefg> netstat is in nettools and present by default. nmap is a more advanced tool
[01:49] <echosystm> fraser, you can use nmap, it is a portscanner
[01:49] <fraser> echosystm, thanks.
[01:49] <echosystm> however, if you have intrisuion detection enabled, it will detect the first scan and lock that computer out
[01:50] <echosystm> so it wont tell you much :P
[01:50] <gnuskool> Lonniebiz, ill agree
[01:50] <franzorz> it says server disconnected
[01:50] <Rowan> i miss beryl
[01:50] <Rowan> compiz fusion sucks
[01:50] <fraser> echosystm, oh. how do i check if intrusion detection is enabled?
[01:50] <echosystm> what firewall are you running fraser?
[01:50] <mastercoderx> hi. does the laptop "Acer Aspire 4310" work with ubuntu 7.04?
[01:50] <echosystm> most firewalls come with it by defaul
[01:50] <echosystm> t
[01:51] <gnuskool> franzorz, have a look for other free servers and see if theres work
[01:51] <fraser> echosystm, i think i have firestarter installed
[01:51] <fraser> echosystm, is that what you mean?
[01:51] <echosystm> ok, im not familiar with that
[01:51] <echosystm> yes
[01:51] <echosystm> go on their website and see if it has it
[01:51] <eMish> which repo contains acroread ?
[01:51] <fraser> echosystm, actually, i don't have it installed.
[01:51] <gnuskool> franzorz, maybe your ISP dosent allow news server, or do you have a firewall blocking that port?
[01:51] <Rowan> mastercoderx, pop in a live cd and check
[01:51] <franzorz> yer, tried a few. should it just come up wit stuff or do i have to do anything?
[01:51] <echosystm> but yeah, unless you have opened ports, they would all be closed
[01:52] <echosystm> by default
[01:52] <fraser> echosystm, i have no firewall enabled, i have a NAT router though, that's what i need to port scanner for, for testing port forwarding.
[01:52] <echosystm> OH
[01:52] <Rowan> oh lol no ops
[01:52] <eMish> whic repo do I need to enable to install acroread ?
[01:52] <franzorz> just turned firewall off. noone hack plz :)
[01:52] <mastercoderx> i dont have the laptop right now. im planning on buying it.
[01:53] <JohnShortland> anyone have the web address where you can browse the ubuntu repo's?
[01:53] <PriceChild> JohnShortland, packages.ubuntu.com
[01:53] <Lonniebiz> echosystm: The Ubuntu help file suggests you use SheildsUP for testing your open ports: http://www.grc.com/intro.htm
[01:53] <fraser> franzorz, i'm gona do it, and steal your monies
[01:53] <franzorz> lol
[01:53] <franzorz> oh noes!1
[01:53] <JohnShortland> thanks PriceChild
[01:53] <gnuskool> franzorz, im not sure about the reader youre using, but does it have an update, refresh, or get news button, something like that?
[01:54] <Rowan> nn
[01:54] <mastercoderx> is there any website which can help me? I already checked the ubuntu wiki.
[01:54] <franzorz> it has subsribe to group thing
[01:54] <Rowan> mastercoderx, GOOGLE
[01:54] <gnuskool> franzor, also u could keep your firewall on, but add your reader and port address to its "allowed" connections, hackers aren't courteous haha
[01:54] <gnuskool> franzorz, hit that one mate,see what happens
[01:55] <PriceChild> Rowan, jfgi isnt' an appropriate response in here.
[01:55] <Rowan> well i already told him to pop in a live cd
[01:55] <mastercoderx> i already tried googling, and the results weren't helpful.
[01:55] <Rowan> unless you have that exact laptop i dunno if you can help him properly
[01:56] <Rowan> goodnight ubuntuians
[01:56] <franzorz> no, not wrkin, tis hopeless. :(. do u use usenet? ifso wot app u use?
[01:57] <mastercoderx> is there any website which lists linux compatibility with all of the acer aspire laptops?
[01:57] <Montaro> mastercoderx: google
[01:57] <PriceChild> mastercoderx, put a live cd in and test it yourself without installing.
[01:57] <Lonniebiz> Install Firestarter: http://www.howtoadvice.com/FirestarterInstall/
[01:58] <IdleOne> can wget download multiple files like wget file.1 file.2 file.3 and so on?

[02:00] <franzorz> usenet app?
[02:00] <fraser> Lonniebiz, that only tests to ports 1026 or something, i want up to 65000 or whatever it is
[02:03] <jgphpc> hello, I have an audigy1 PCI sound card (SB1394), and I do not know where to plug my speakers... On my card, I have DIGITALOUT ; LINEIN, MICIN, LINEOUT1,LINEOUT2 , FIREWIRE...can you help me please ?
[02:03] <CheshireViking> sp_, i'm not certain, but i don't think it has a list of users that show up on the screen,
[02:03] <franzorz> anyone use usenet??
[02:04] <franzorz> spider pig, spider pig....
[02:04] <IdleOne> sp_, in the settings there is a place where you can set to view userlist but you may have to expand the window it is on the right hand side
[02:05] <sp_> thank you , done
[02:05] <wers> What's the best app out there to burn ISOs? I just used K3b and when it was already verifying the written data, it appeared that K3b did not burn my LiveCD properly
[02:06] <IdleOne> wers, try gnomebaker
[02:06] <franzorz> usenet apps? wot do u use?
[02:07] <wers> you think gnomebaker burns ISOs more properly?
[02:07] <sp_> the window was hidden
[02:07] <IdleOne> wers, make sure you select to burn image
[02:07] <Lonniebiz> Wers: Just right click on the ISO and burn it from the right-click menu.
[02:07] <wers> yep. I chose to burn a cd image
[02:07] <IdleOne> wers, or try what Lonniebiz just said
[02:07] <Lonniebiz> (it's built right in)
[02:07] <wers> okay.. i'll try that
[02:08] <raf256> ~/skype-1.4.0.94$ stat skype
[02:08] <raf256> Access: (0755/-rwxr-xr-x)
[02:08] <raf256> but;
[02:08] <wers> why do you think does K3b fail in ISO cd burning?
[02:08] <raf256> $ ./skype      gives        bash: ./skype: No such file or directory
[02:08] <raf256> wtf is that?
[02:09] <sp_> anyone have installed clamav ?
[02:09] <pboyce> hi
[02:09] <predaeus> raf256, where is skype located? did you try: $ skype   ?
[02:09] <IdleOne> wers, could be a corrupt file a dirty cd or maybe you thought you selected Burn As Image and you didnt
[02:09] <defrysk> wers, k3b does not fail
[02:10] <raf256> predaeus: it is in that directory.  file ./skype  works  stat ./skype works  but  ./skype  tells that no such file or dir
[02:10] <defrysk> wers pebkac
[02:10] <franzorz> news group, usenet programs and server help plz?
[02:10] <raf256> franzorz: knode
[02:10] <wers> I have burnt about 50 cd images already and this is the first time K3b failed
[02:11] <IdleOne> wers, ahhh the #50 quirk perhaps
[02:11] <franzorz> knode, tht app or server :D, iam i real noob at this
[02:11] <CheshireViking> franzorz, try "pan" available in synaptic
[02:11] <IdleOne> wers, things happen for no reason sometimes. I wouldnt worry to much about it
[02:11] <franzorz> is it easy to use?
[02:12] <wers> okay.. i'm trying k3b again
[02:12] <fraser> hey guys, was there some reason you couldn't use a port < 5000?
[02:12] <fraser> i seem to remember something about that
[02:13] <tOWLie> hello
[02:13] <franzorz> i apparently already have pan install, but isn't in app list, how do u open?
[02:13] <fraser> tOWLie, wanna get high?
[02:14] <predaeus> fraser, if I recall correctly ports und 1024 or 2048 or something along that line are reserved standardized things that are implemented kernel internally.
[02:14] <IdleOne> franzorz, in terminal type pan
[02:14] <tOWLie> fraser no thank u
[02:14] <tOWLie> i am really new with ubuntu
[02:14] <fraser> predaeus, thanks
[02:14] <fraser> tOWLie, you realise why i said that or you jsut think i'm a creep? lol
[02:14] <IdleOne> !offtopic
[02:14] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:14] <tOWLie> how can i change my desktop resolution in kubuntu ?
[02:15] <IdleOne> tOWLie, /j #kubuntu for help with kubuntu
[02:15] <predaeus> fraser, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers
[02:15] <franzorz> got pan open :D. wot server do u use?
[02:16] <kingcobraeire>  does anybody know what condition ports need to be in before you can have servers
[02:16] <sp_> toWLie what X environment do you use?
[02:17] <IdleOne> kingcobraeire, open and sober?
[02:17] <IdleOne> :)
[02:18] <franzorz> usenet server?
[02:18] <franzorz> got pan, but wot i do now?
[02:18] <kingcobraeire> idleOne do you what stealth is
[02:19] <kingcobraeire> idleOne im told my early ports are in stealth
[02:19] <IdleOne> kingcobraeire, stealth means the port is hidden
[02:19] <fraser> yay guys! i made my system 8x more vulnerable today! and i'm pleased. also, i can now use p2p with good speeds
[02:19] <kingcobraeire> idleOne can i make it unhidden and open
[02:19] <bullgard4> Why does Gnome_Display_Manager need _2_ 'gdm' processes?
[02:20] <IdleOne> kingcobraeire, probably but I dont know how
[02:20] <kingcobraeire> idleOne ok thanks
[02:21] <predaeus> bullgard4, probably one watches over the other to see if it terminates, so it can restart "itself". But I do not know.
[02:22] <Lumio> hi... i have ubuntu 7.04 server-version and I installed gnome
[02:22] <Lumio> ok it's setting up everything

[02:25] <IdleOne> franzorz, type man pan in terminal
[02:25] <franzorz> wot server u use?
[02:26] <IdleOne> franzorz, also if you want someone to notice you talking to them you need to type out the entire nickname or use tab completion. I dont use usenet

[02:28] <saeba> does someone know how to set up grub for ubuntu Vista XP on the same hard disk ?
[02:29] <dissection> Hell all. I just installed vnstat but when I run it, it says Unable to write database "/var/lib/vnstat/eth0". Is it a problem if I enable write access to it instead of running it as sudo each time?
[02:29] <saeba> i get this : error 12: invalid device request
[02:29] <madtsunami> woah guys
[02:29] <madtsunami> stop flodding them

[02:32] <IdleOne> !alternate | B1NAR3Y
[02:32] <ubotu> B1NAR3Y: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[02:32] <B1NAR3Y> But i dont know linux commands
[02:33] <baggiobanglio> hola, tengo una duda, hay alguien espaol?

[02:39] <madtsunami> is it an HP printer?
[02:39] <hybirdbe> dude  , i did it like on the wiki

[02:40] <MVLinux> all other pc'c r connected to the printer
[02:40] <soundray> hybirdbe: is it working now?
[02:40] <hybirdbe> yeah :D
[02:40] <soundray> hybirdbe: it probably stayed at 0 while it was downloading the packages. Use aptitude next time.
[02:40] <franzorz> bullgard4, cheers, but how do i use it? :D
[02:41] <hybirdbe> yeah :D tnx :p
, what pkg i have to download ?

[02:44] <dissection> Hell all. I just installed vnstat but when I run it, it says Unable to write database "/var/lib/vnstat/eth0". Is it a problem if I enable write access to it instead of running it as sudo each time?
[02:44] <M_Fatih> how can i learn a partition's uuid?
[02:44] <MVLinux> madtsunami, where i can read more about that ?

[02:45] <hybirdbe> ok , so sending an im to the bot works to ?
[02:45] <madtsunami> that bot said.
[02:45] <arn_> can anyone help to fix my sound card?
[02:45] <madtsunami> you need plugins for it, right?
[02:45] <madtsunami> I need them too.
[02:45] <dissection> Someone help me please
[02:45] <M_Fatih> soundray: what does it means?

[02:45] <madtsunami> No prob
[02:46] <M_Fatih> 4687-7477 ?
[02:46] <blink0> Hi, would anyone know about a cpu-z equivalent for linux ? I want to know the current processor speed etc...
[02:46] <M_Fatih> this is not uuid. it must be long
[02:46] <arn_> can anyone help to fix my sound card?
[02:47] <madtsunami> Arn_ we both need plugins for them
[02:47] <madtsunami> I think
[02:47] <M_Fatih> soundray: /dev/sda3: LABEL="XDD" UUID="4687-7477" TYPE="vfat"
[02:47] <madtsunami> what error does it say?
[02:48] <arn_> when i try to play music i get error  that says that my sound card is busy or not installed or.... but if i try to this "aplay -l" then i get my sound card listed
[02:48] <soundray> M_Fatih: if that's what it's set to, then that's it.
[02:49] <madtsunami> did you check for plugins?
[02:49] <arn_> you mean, plugin for player?
[02:49] <madtsunami> actually, that may not be the case
[02:49] <arn_> madtsunami, how to check for plugins?
[02:49] <madtsunami> I'm running an MP3 on my VLC player now
[02:50] <madtsunami> actually...
[02:50] <arn_> madtsunami, then what can be the case for my issues?
[02:50] <madtsunami> I was hoping you'd tell me >.>
[02:50] <madtsunami> I came here looking for a link for some plugins for my Radeon 200
[02:50] <madtsunami> sound card
[02:50] <akos> Hello! I have a printing problem... I use two linux boxes (one is connected to the printer, printing works from there), and the other would connect through cupsys... But it says backend http failed... What can I do?
[02:50] <arn_> madtsunami, no, nothing like that
[02:50] <madtsunami> do you use VLC?
[02:51] <franzorz> bullgard4, cheers loads mate, worked it out. thanks mate.
[02:51] <arn_> madtsunami, yes i do
[02:51] <madtsunami> oh...
[02:51] <bullgard4> franzorz: cul
[02:51] <dissection> Hell all. I just installed vnstat but when I run it, it says Unable to write database "/var/lib/vnstat/eth0". Is it a problem if I enable write access to it instead of running it as sudo each time?

[02:52] <sveterv> hey i need one file from gusty gibbon, it's /boot/config-2.6.22-9-generic who can send it to me? :) it's little
[02:52] <madtsunami> can you play music?
[02:52] <arn_> i cant play music.
[02:53] <madtsunami> does the error message show up?
[02:53] <arn_> for xmms i get a error message in a popup windows
[02:53] <soundray> dissection: have you created the database with vnstat -u -i eth0 ?
[02:53] <madtsunami> something about not being able to play MP3?
[02:54] <dissection> soundray: Yes but it only works as sudo
[02:54] <arn_> not, its something about not getting sound, i dont get sound from other applications too
[02:54] <sveterv> anyone uses gusty gibbon?
[02:54] <akos> Hello! I have a printing problem... I use two linux boxes (one is connected to the printer, printing works from there), and the other would connect through cupsys... But shortly after prinitng it says state: "Paused: job-hold-until-specified" (If I try to resume, it changes for a second to printing, then this appears again)
[02:55] <swmiller6> arn_: I don't know if someone suggested this already but did you check to see if the external amplifier switch is unchecked
[02:55] <madtsunami> did you turn the volume up?
[02:55] <madtsunami> lol
[02:55] <arn_> swmiller6, how to check that?
[02:55] <arn_> madtsunami, i tured the volume up
[02:55] <madtsunami> Ah good
[02:55] <arn_> madtsunami, i did everything possible by me
[02:56] <madtsunami> let swmiller take over, i'm just wading through this with you
[02:56] <EvanLugh> Is there anyone here that can help me? The peeps in ndiswrapper are about as useful as a chocolate teacup

[02:57] <RichW> hey how do i completely remove the nvidia binary driver's kernel module?
[02:57] <swmiller6> arn_:find external amplifier then check it
[02:57] <defrysk> RichiH, use the --purge flag
[02:57] <soundray> dissection: I suggest you make the directory writable to admin users: 'sudo chown -R root:admin /var/lib/vnstat/ ; sudo chmod g+w /var/lib/vnstat'
[02:58] <RichW> defrysk: purge flag on what?
[02:58] <defrysk> apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx
[02:58] <ThatsMe> hello?
[02:58] <RichW> defrysk: thanks
[02:58] <swmiller6> arn_: does your sound play at login?
[02:58] <arn_> swmiller6, there is no entry named "external amplifier" there, all i have is "Master, PCM, CD, CD Capture, Microphone,Microphone Capture, Mic Boost, IET958, IET958 Playback Source, Capture, mix"
[02:59] <ThatsMe> Is there anyone who can help me?:P
[02:59] <RichW> brb
[02:59] <arn_> swmiller6, no, but i just got sound for critical opration.
[02:59] <soundray> ThatsMe: what, jack up your car?
[02:59] <dissection> soundray: I just tried that but when I try to update vnstat, it still says the same error "Make sure it's write enabled for this user
[02:59] <arn_> swmiller6, if i press back space in a termial, without typing anyting then i get a beep on my speaker
[02:59] <ThatsMe> lol soundray
[03:00] <ThatsMe> I'm just a newby to ubuntu, i try to install it from the live-cd, but it's just to slow
[03:00] <nephish> hey there all, can ubuntu handle a 320 GB SATA ?
[03:00] <hume> hi... how can i run a process, in a ssh-session, that keeps runnig after i log out of the ssh-session?
[03:00] <soundray> dissection: try with the -R switch: 'sudo chmod -R g+w /var/lib/vnstat'
[03:00] <howlingmadhowie> arn_: try this: echo -e "\a"
[03:01] <nephish> ThatsMe_: what are your computer specs?
[03:01] <madtsunami> I have my own problem, actually...
[03:01] <ThatsMe> nephish: hold on, i'll search
[03:01] <arn_> howlingmadhowie, i tried that, but didnt show anyting
[03:01] <dissection> soundray: Perfect! thanks a lot
[03:01] <soundray> nephish: that's a medium-size drive, why shouldn't it?
[03:01] <bauer> hume : try & at the end off commandline
[03:01] <ThatsMe> although it is not the only pc i've got those problems on, i'd like to know if there are other ways of installing ubuntu
[03:01] <howlingmadhowie> arn_: it should make a beeb. \a is the system bell
[03:02] <kauer> ThatsMe: Running off the live CD is slow; once the install is done and everything is running off your hard disk, it will not be slow any more.
[03:02] <nephish> soundray_: medium? i am upgrading from a 40GB he he. I thought that was massive !
[03:02] <arn_> howlingmadhowie, no i didnt get any beep
[03:02] <kauer> ThatsMe: Well, assuming your PC isn't slow anyway, of course.
[03:02] <aprilFunk> ubuntu is very nice OS.
[03:02] <ThatsMe> kauer: yes, i know. but the problem is that i can't get trough the setup, because it doesn't load
[03:02] <hume> bauer: i know, that is background, but wont the process die when i log out?
[03:02] <madtsunami> I'm looking for plugins compatable with linux for my radeon 200 intergrated vid card, and my HDA ATI SB sound card...
[03:03] <Sianis_> hi all
[03:03] <nephish> ThatsMe_: CDROM speed and RAM are kinda the big factors in running the Live CD
[03:03] <ThatsMe> nephish: CD rom is 52x and RAM is 256
[03:03] <kauer> ThatsMe: Want to try stating the problem clearly and completely?
[03:03] <spl0it> hey guys, I'm having a problem here with my old cd-rw.. basically when I try and load k3b.. it hangs trying to access hdd (my old cd-rw).. so I went into bios and disabled it (I don't use it anyways)... I either need to know how to tell k3b to stop trying to access it as it hangs my system, or to stop making it available to k3b.... dmesg lists hdd as my cd-rw... which doesn't make sense considering I disabled it in
[03:03] <spl0it> bios.. any suggestions on how to do disable it so it doesn't show up in dmesg or how to make k3b stop looking at it?? any suggestions would be appreciated - I did remove the mount command for it in fstab...
[03:03] <IdleOne> ThatsMe, the LiveCD runs alot slower then the actual system when installed
[03:03] <kidbuntu> will ubuntu work just fine on ACER Aspire 4710G-101G16 laptop?
[03:03] <nephish> soundray_: thanks, just wanted to know before i hit the buy button on newegg.
[03:03] <ThatsMe> kauer: The problem is that the CD is to slow, and that it won't install
[03:04] <ThatsMe> kauer: So if anyone knows a way to install ubuntu WITHOUT the LIVE cd, or inmediatly from DOS?
[03:04] <soundray> nephish: as long as your SATA chipset is supported, you should be fine.
[03:04] <bauer> hume: try it i am not shure
[03:04] <kauer> ThatsMe: That makes no sense. Installing slowly is not the same as not installing at all. Are you saying that the install completely stops?
[03:04] <ThatsMe> kauer: yes
[03:04] <IdleOne> !alternate | ThatsMe
[03:04] <ubotu> ThatsMe: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[03:04] <tttuan> hello
[03:04] <ThatsMe> !minimal
[03:05] <ubotu> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[03:05] <kauer> ThatsMe: How long have you waited? Was there no (zero) CD activity?
[03:05] <ThatsMe> kauer: No cd activity at all. after quite some hours
[03:05] <nephish> ThatsMe_: i have one computer with only 256 RAM, i find that it is slow to install, but will install. On mine, i run Xubuntu, which is a little lighter on resources and so runs smoother on hardware with less RAM
[03:05] <kidbuntu> will ubuntu work just fine on ACER Aspire 4710G-101G16 laptop? or any ACER Laptops?
[03:05] <kauer> ThatsMe: And what, if anything, was on screen for those hours?
[03:06] <dice14u> kidbuntu i got it on an acer aspire 5100
[03:06] <nephish> soundray_: how do i find my SATA chipset?
[03:06] <ThatsMe> kauer: it was the screen to select the language. And the mouse didn't move either
[03:06] <kidbuntu> dice14u: which means yours is greater and it will probably work on Aspire 4710G-101G16?
[03:06] <ThatsMe> kauer: and IF i actually got the mouse to work, it took long before it had moved, so i coulnd't klick any buttons
[03:06] <IdleOne> ThatsMe, you can try again in safe graphics mode
[03:06] <EvanLugh> Could someone just *please* look at my thread? Almost 3 days I'm thinking of remove ubuntu it's _very annoying_ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518682
[03:06] <ThatsMe> idleone: already tried...
[03:07] <IdleOne> ThatsMe, then try the Alternate CD
[03:07] <soundray> nephish: have you got SATA connectors? Are they on your mainboard?
[03:07] <nosse_> I just bought external hard drive from western digital, and now I'm trying to make it ext3, can anyone help me?
[03:07] <kauer> ThatsMe: So the actual problem is "the install from live CD locks up at the "se;lect language" screen, mouse movement is lost too, no keyboard response".
[03:07] <ThatsMe> kauer: Yes, that's it actually
[03:07] <kauer> ThatsMe: This is not necessarily anything to do with the CD. Why do you think the CD is the problem?
[03:07] <ThatsMe> kauer: My friend has ubuntu also, and he said there was another way of installing
[03:07] <nephish> soundray_: yes they are. board came with the cables too.
[03:07] <ThatsMe> kauer: because it is also on other pc's
[03:08] <dice14u> kidbuntu yeah it should
[03:08] <linux_> how i can run some program with root access ?
[03:08] <kauer> ThatsMe: Whoa. Are you talking about the CD itself, or the CD drive, now?
[03:08] <IdleOne> !install | ThatsMe take a look at these links they may help you
[03:08] <spl0it> what detects cd/dvd drives at boot? what can I use to disable a specific device?
[03:08] <ubotu> ThatsMe take a look at these links they may help you: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation.

[03:08] <EvanLugh> linux_ : sudo
[03:08] <kidbuntu> I wish starcraft 2 will work on ubuntu or on commercial emulators
[03:08] <CheshireViking> linux_, you need to put the "sudo" command before the command your are trying to use
[03:08] <EvanLugh> Could someone just *please* look at my thread? Almost 3 days I'm thinking of remove ubuntu it's _very annoying_ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518682
[03:09] <dice14u> linux_ add sudo before the program name
[03:09] <EvanLugh> chesire?
[03:09] <ThatsMe> kauer: I just don't know, i guess the CD. but another doesn't work also
[03:09] <EvanLugh> ha sweet
[03:09] <soundray> nephish: try 'dmesg | grep -i sata' and 'lspci | grep -i sata'. Sil3112 is a frequent one on mainboards.
[03:09] <kauer> thatsMe: How did you make or obtain the CD?
[03:09] <linux_> dice14u , and now how i can know the command for the program ( waht is the command for NVIDIA X server settings ) ?
[03:09] <iM`> how can i edit the binary log file from remotely from the terminal
[03:10] <ThatsMe> kauer: i downloaded it from the site(ubuntu-nl.org) and then i burned it with nero
[03:10] <ThatsMe> kauer: Hmm, i'm reading the site right now. about installing from windows. i think i'll give that a shot first
[03:11] <nephish> soundray_: dmesg gave me nothing, lspci gave me this: 00:0f.0 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA VT6420 SATA RAID Controller (rev 80)
[03:11] <nephish> guess i am ok ?
[03:11] <linux_> what is the command to run NVIDIA X server settings ?
[03:12] <soundray> nephish: yes, the sata_via module supports that.
[03:12] <kauer> ThatsMe: Can you get someone else to burn the CD for you? Right now I'd suspect that the CD itself is faulty. OR you could try burning the "alternate" CD, which uses a more primitive but somewhat more foolproof interface. Get the alternate image from wherever you got the image you are using now.
[03:12] <spl0it> so anyone know how I can disable a device from getting detected in dmesg (cd-rw)? just point me in the right direction and I'll figure it out - I'm just not sure where to start
[03:12] <nephish> soundray_: great, thanks
[03:13] <dice14u> well linux_ i know x server settings is the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:13] <ThatsMe> kauer: Okay, i'll try to download the alternate cd
[03:13] <EvanLugh> anyone with experience with ndiswrapper lend a hand..?
[03:14] <ThatsMe> ??:P
[03:14] <kauer> ThatsMe: You still need a source for all the Ubuntu stuff - whether net or CD. The CD is very much the best way to go if you can. But if you can't get a usable CD burned, then by all means try the other methods.
[03:14] <soundray> spl0it: short of disabling it in the BIOS setup, I don't think it's possible without major surgery. What's the underlying problem you're trying to solve?
[03:14] <linux_> dice14u , no metter i have found what i looked for
[03:14] <dice14u> ok then
[03:14] <EvanLugh> Could someone just *please* look at my thread? Almost 3 days I'm thinking of remove ubuntu it's _very annoying_ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518682
[03:14] <spl0it> soundray: I have disabled it in bios - its still showing up in dmesg - I can't load k3b, as it hangs on hdd (which is my older cd-rw).... if there isn't an easy way I'll just rip it out....
[03:15] <ThatsMe> kauer: So you are saying i should try the alternate CD first, and THEN look at the install from windows?
[03:15] <pezcado> hmm
[03:15] <anzan>  EvanLugh, I looked but sorry, can't help.
[03:15] <linux_> generaly how i can know waht is the terminal command for some application for example waht is the terminal command for the game  five or more ?
[03:15] <EvanLugh> ah thanks for the reply anyway, anzan
[03:16] <MukiEX> I wouldn't come here if I could find a solution on the boards or in an faq somewhere, but I've hit a nasty brick wall : I can't access anything mounted with curlftpfs  unless I'm root.
[03:16] <soundray> spl0it: I think I've found something...
[03:16] <MukiEX> No options (uid, umask, all available in curlftpfs) get around this.
[03:16] <MukiEX> If I try to chmod or chgrp the folder after mounting, I get errors.
[03:17] <MukiEX> ls -l gives me all kinds of wierd crap in the folder I mount curlftpfs to.
[03:17] <kidbuntu> is there a channel for gamers?
[03:17] <mattwalston> Anyone have suggestions for troubleshooting slow to establish ssh connection issue?  I tried the config change on the client, disabled mDNS but still not working.
[03:17] <EvanLugh> kidbuntu: tools->channels list
[03:17] <kauer> ThatsMe: I'm just saying it loosk a lot like that CD you are using is faulty - especially if it hangs at the same place on another computer.
[03:18] <mattwalston> ThatsMe: did you check the md5sum before burning?  try the media test option
[03:18] <kauer> ThatsMe: So burn a new one on a *different* computer and tray that, or try burning the alternate image. But the Windows install is fine too - there are many ways to Ubuntu :-)
[03:18] <spl0it> mattwalston: i would think it has to be dns related
[03:18] <soundray> spl0it: you could add a kernel option like hdc=noprobe
[03:18] <dissection> soundray: "vnstat -u -i eth0 && vnstat -m | grep Aug" <--- Can I add "cut" at the end so it displays only the downloads? How do I do that?
[03:18] <ThatsMe> kauer: Yes, it should be the CD. but not the ISO. because i have installed ubunty on a virtual PC
[03:18] <linux_> generaly how i can know what is the terminal command for some application ?
[03:19] <spl0it> soundray: ah hmm
[03:19] <kauer> EvanLugh: I have looked at your thread, and for the record, I can't help you :-)
[03:19] <EvanLugh> GRR! Ok thanks >:(
[03:19] <kauer> EvanLugh: Sorry, I meant :-( of course
[03:20] <MukiEX> It's 0.9.91 at that! >_<
[03:20] <soundray> dissection: 'echo foo\;bar | cut -d ";" -f 2' only displays 'bar'. 'man cut' will tell you more
[03:20] <EvanLugh> this is so frustrating
[03:20] <EvanLugh> if i can't get it sorted by tonight
[03:20] <EvanLugh> im switching back =/
[03:20] <soundray> spl0it: do you know how to do that?
[03:20] <kauer> EvanLugh: Can you try with any other adapter?
[03:20] <ThatsMe> ah well, this is my first linux pc anyhow...
[03:20] <EvanLugh> kauer: nope :/
[03:20] <spl0it> soundray no I was just googling it...
[03:20] <ThatsMe> so you might find me here more often:P
[03:20] <MukiEX> anyone? mounting ftp solution? =(
[03:20] <EvanLugh> kauer: i can't even use ethernet because i'm 2 floors away from my router, I live in a 3 story house..
[03:21] <dissection> soundray: I went through the manual but it lets be use only single characters for -d. And the output I have has multiple spaces.. How do I remove them?
[03:21] <soundray> spl0it: 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst', add 'hdd=noprobe' at the end of the line that begins with '#kopt=', save, exit, run 'sudo update-grub'
[03:21] <kauer> hatsMe: Try booting into the real PC. The disk will not attempt any actual install or change to your disks until you tell it to proceed - you can do all the language selection etc etc. If it gets past that on the real metal, then it's a virtualisation thing...
[03:21] <spl0it> soundray: thanks
[03:21] <soundray> dissection: you can squeeze multiple spaces into one with 'tr -s " "' (man tr)
[03:22] <kauer> EvanLugh: Do you have a laptop, a desktop, what...?
[03:22] <ThatsMe> kauer: how do you mean?
[03:22] <EvanLugh> desktop
[03:22] <linux_> what is the name of "Classic media player" in synaptic ?
[03:22] <dissection> oh, let me see
[03:22] <EvanLugh> kauer: desktop
[03:22] <kauer> ThatsMe: Boot the disk! For real! No virtualisation! See how far you get, just don't let it proceed to formatting your HDDs :-)
[03:23] <Vinchenzo28> does ubuntu have any cleaning utilities
[03:23] <ThatsMe> kauer: thats what i'm doing right now:P
[03:23] <iratik> I have some basic questions ..... i don't think I have my hostname configured correctly - because whenever i install a package (for example i installed webmin and it said i could access it at http://www:1000  .... but www is not a fqdn! ? ) what is it that i am most likely doing wrong?
[03:23] <EvanLugh> yah does my laundry every day
[03:23] <Vinchenzo28> nice
[03:24] <EvanLugh> Vinchenzo28: lol
[03:24] <kauer> EvanLugh: Then for about $5 you can get a wireless card that goes inside your desktop (antenna outside of course :-) )that will work with Ubuntu, that will not require nsdiswrapper and all the attendant voodoo, and you can stop futzing about with a USB dookhickey.
[03:24] <spl0it> soundray: do I need to remove the # before kopt??
[03:24] <soundray> spl0it: no
[03:24] <spl0it> soundray: okay - thanks
[03:24] <EvanLugh> kauer: No! My desktop is.. _onthewall_
[03:25] <spl0it> lets see if that worked - brb
[03:25] <Vinchenzo28> Evanlugh: no disk cleanups, defrags?
[03:25] <soundray> spl0it: it has a # because it's meant to be processed by update-grub, not by the bootloader itself.
[03:25] <EvanLugh> and it's cabled/networked around my room
[03:25] <EvanLugh> Vinchenzo28: No idea pal, sorry
[03:25] <spl0it> soundray: ah okay :)
[03:25] <kauer> ThatsMe: Then why did you say "because i have installed ubuntu on a virtual PC"?
[03:25] <soundray> Vinchenzo28: decent filesystems like ext3 don't need defragging.
[03:25] <EvanLugh> Ok i'm off to remove ubuntu, couldn't help me last year, it can't help me now >:(
[03:25] <ThatsMe> kauer: to state that the ISO isn't damaged
[03:26] <soundray> EvanLugh: too bad. Good luck with your next distribution
[03:26] <ideasman_42> hey guys, will ubuntu run on a new mac laptop?
[03:26] <EvanLugh> Thanks.. always same problem :P
[03:26] <EvanLugh> ideasman_42: if it's intel based
[03:26] <soundray> ideasman_42: most likely, yes
[03:26] <ideasman_42> right, one I buy at the shop now
[03:26] <fevel> hello
[03:26] <ideasman_42> any preference?
[03:27] <CheeseGardener> When Gparted formats a hard drive, does it "quick" format, or fully format?????
[03:27] <EvanLugh> i could buy a g2 at the shop :P
[03:27] <kauer> ThatsMe: OK, I see now. The virtual install was from the ISO image, no actual CD. You burned the known-good ISO onto a CD, which now has a problem, apparently.
[03:27] <soundray> ideasman_42: have a look at tuxmobil.org and check out the installation reports linked there.
[03:27] <ideasman_42> intel gfx, do mac have lappys with nvidia cards?
[03:27] <EvanLugh> if it's the brand spanking - new one then yes should work
[03:27] <ThatsMe> kauer: Yes, thats it:)
[03:27] <soundray> ideasman_42: they do
[03:28] <ideasman_42> thx, I need a new laptop, going to work on an opensource project even in europe ;)
[03:28] <ThatsMe> ideasman_42: what's wrong with europe?:P
[03:28] <EvanLugh> cool maybe come to my place and fix my goddamn ndiswrapper!
[03:28] <ideasman_42> nothing, Im just in australia now
[03:29] <ThatsMe> ideasman_42: Cool.. i've never come any further than france(i live in holland)
[03:29] <CheeseGardener> When Gparted formats a hard drive, does it "quick" format, or fully format?????
[03:29] <spl0it> soundray: well its not in dmesg, lets see if k3b will load - thanks for the help
[03:29] <EvanLugh> yay holland
[03:29] <soundray> spl0it: yw
[03:29] <mattwalston> spl0it: thanks, adding hosts entries fixed ssh
[03:29] <ideasman_42> wokring on the next open movie, you now of elephants dream?
[03:29] <EvanLugh> Could someone just *please* look at my thread? Almost 3 days I'm thinking of remove ubuntu it's _very annoying_ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518682
[03:29] <spl0it> soundray: victory :) - appreciate it.
[03:29] <EvanLugh> *sp4m*
[03:30] <kauer> ThatsMe: Then I still think you should burn a new CD on a different drive and if the new CD doesn't work, try the alternate CD image. At least as a first step, 'cos it does look like the CD is borked. You could try checking the media, I think there's an option on the CD menu....
[03:30] <ThatsMe> kauer: Okay, i'll try.. i've just downloaded GRUB.. try that first(i'm actually used to text-based setups anyway...)
[03:31] <cwkx-chris1> Hey I've just started an xubuntu fresh install on an old laptop 256ddr 60gb 1.6ghz 553mhz - it took a long time to boot up, after resizing the partition to 70% it seems to have stalled and theres just a blue screen with a movable mouse. Any ideas? Its been taking so long to load - have waited an hour already
[03:31] <dice14u> help when starting beryl no GLXFBconfig for default depth
[03:31] <kauer> EvanLugh: Here's a thought for you: Get a couple of powerline ethernet adapters, and get to your router via a second interface.
[03:31] <EvanLugh> kauer: i just had an idea
[03:31] <EvanLugh> kauer: not spending any more, just spent 1.5k on a mac
[03:31] <EvanLugh> kauer: i jsut realised
[03:32] <EvanLugh> kauer i still have an old router
[03:32] <EvanLugh> about 7 months old
[03:32] <EvanLugh> could i convert it into a wireless adapter then ethernet it :P
[03:32] <kauer> EvanLugh: *smacks forhead* now why didn't I think of that!
[03:32] <CheeseGardener> When Gparted formats a hard drive, does it "quick" format, or fully format?????
[03:33] <EvanLugh> kauer: lol it could work?
[03:33] <EvanLugh> kauer: only problem, theres no other socket in the wall for the BT miniplug etc

[03:33] <EvanLugh> so it would pretty much be ... _just a router_
[03:33] <Frogzoo> EvanLugh: does ifconfig -a show anything?
[03:33] <kauer> EvanLugh: It's a crazy idea - so crazy, it just might work!
[03:33] <soundray> CheeseGardener: that distinction is only made in the DOS world.
[03:34] <EvanLugh> Frogzoo: Yes ! it tells me theres nothing !
[03:34] <jenda> What is the best way to reduce an image's size from 800 KiB to 500? It is a 800*600 photograph.

[03:34] <EvanLugh> jenda: try imageshack.us
[03:34] <jenda> EvanLugh: I just want to make it smaller, not upload it.
[03:34] <soundray> jenda: can it be lossy compressed?
[03:34] <EvanLugh> jenda: you can
[03:34] <jenda> soundray: very much so
[03:34] <kauer> iratik: did you enter the machine name as "www" or as "www." (not the period in the second one)?
[03:34] <EvanLugh> resize image.. right click save as
[03:34] <jenda> EvanLugh: I don't want to resize it.
[03:34] <soundray> jenda: jpeg at 75% quality should do it.
[03:34] <kauer> iratik: not = note
[03:35] <EvanLugh> kauer: shall i go get the old router, and see if it'll work?
[03:35] <jenda> soundray: ok
[03:35] <EvanLugh> kauer: i don't think it will, because .. theres no connection to my line but who cares better than crying about it not doing ANYTHING
[03:35] <iratik> kauer: www
[03:35] <rausb0> EvanLugh: i suggest using the rt2570 driver instead of ndiswrapper. you cannot use network-manager with the rt2570, but configuring wpa should still be possible with iwpriv commmands.
[03:35] <kauer> EvanLugh: Anything man! Anything! Just deepp six the f**ing Belkin, OK?
[03:36] <EvanLugh> kauer: HAHA. rausb0: hmm, could you elaborate please? =]

[03:37] <EvanLugh> kauer: you need to double click their name
[03:37] <soundray> codecaine: as far as I know, they all use the USB HID standard, which is supported. So I guess you can buy any.

[03:55] <kauer> iratik: My ubuntu prompt has only my username, then @host (not @host.domain). What your prompt does or does not show has nothing to do with the proper functioning of local or global nameservive for your domain.
[03:55] <soundray> thx1137: oops, there's something wrong beyond your home directory then

[03:59] <IdleOne> ubnuu2, yes
[03:59] <kauer> iratik: your machine looks up its own name if it must. It takes hostname and looks it up using gethostbyname(). That's why you need a functional DNS if the name is to mean anything. You can also just put your name (full and partial) into /etc/hosts...
[04:00] <profanephobia> ubnuu2, yeah its just not Long term Support
[04:00] <soundray> thx1137: when something gets messed up like that, I tend to do a reinstall, rather than wasting the same amount of time (or more) on diagnostics.
[04:00] <Lichnet> Gutsy will be LTS, right?
[04:00] <ubnuu2> IdleOne: OK, good to hear. Think I would prefer feisty then for newer packages
[04:00] <soundray> thx1137: although it can be more satisfying to actually work out what's wrong...
[04:00] <IdleOne> Lichnet, no
[04:00] <profanephobia> Lichnet, no i think next one will be though

[04:02] <thx1137> soundray understandable, since I'm pretty new, I'm gradually learning.  I used Wubi to install ubuntu, and when I booted back into windows, it did a chkdsk and deleted my home.virtual.disk... lol

[04:29] <stratjakt> nm found a link

[04:29] <hendrixski> I'm trying to sign a file and it keeps saying that I don't have the secret phrase stored... and I ran into this before a long time ago someone said to install a program, and now I'm up against this again and I totally forgot what program it was.  :-(
[04:29] <echelon> with xchat, how do i display the list of users in the channel
[04:29] <jrib> hendrixski: when it pops up see if 'xprop' or 'xwininfo' can help
[04:29] <ThatsMe> err, now what @ incorrect login?:\
[04:29] <hendrixski> jrib, I'll try those  :-)
[04:29] <kauer> ThatsMe: I'm guessing you were looking a console, and the script messages were platered over the login prompt. If you now have a login prompt, you should be able to get further. Odd that X didn't start...
[04:29] <profanephobia> do you all recommend in getting custom headers or stick with generic
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: Yes, i'm actualy looking at the console. but the login won't get further:\
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: it just keeps saying login incorrect
[04:29] <kauer> ThatsMe: Doyou have a "login:" prompt? Ora "Password:" prompt?
[04:29] <linux_> ok for nvidia 5200 fx , 512 ram , 3.0 what is better compiz or beryl ?
[04:29] <jrib> Vlet: that's probably just user specific settings.  If you used the package at medibuntu, the program itself should be available to all users
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: Login incorrect<newline>ubuntu login:<cursor>

[04:29] <jason_> hey ya!

[04:29] <jason_> anyone knows a flv to avi/mpeg converter for ubuntu
[04:29] <giggi> no such luck
[04:29] <iratik> kauer: oh my freaking ____: the problem was that "www" is not resolvable... the miscommunication stems from me being misinformed that  on the prompt where it says you username@...   that the part after the @ had to be resolvable internet wide ... because the error message was saying www was not resolvable .. i understood why www would not be resolvable ..... so i thought that instead of just www after the @ sign on the prompt  --- that there
[04:29] <iratik>  had to be a fqdn after the @ sign on the prompt ... then sudo wouldn't be giving me messages saying that the part after the @ sign was not resolvable....     the solution i came up with was to give up because either noone anywhere knows how this is really supposed to work on a production web server or i simply cannot comprehend this fundamental idea... i treated the symptom  ... left /etc/hostname as www,  resolv.conf was working brilliantl
[04:29] <iratik> y (i can't complain that www is not really resolvable) ... so i made it resolvable and added an entry to /etc/hosts
[04:29] <hybirdbe> hey , i can't get the import my openpgp key to launchpad , can aybody help me

[04:29] <profanephobia> jason_, ffmpeg
[04:29] <Vlet> jrib: I'll try the package - nice to keep things kosher ;)
[04:29] <kauer> ThatsMe: Well, during the install you were asked for a username and a password. At the "login:" prompt enter the username, at the "password:" prompt enter the password.
[04:29] <hendrixski> jrib, doesn't look like either of those are "it" .... I think the person who helped me last time was on Ubuntu-motu... maybe I'll check there :-)
[04:29] <giggi> still cant change the gnome-session-properties.. i need to change the settings for the main user, because every time i try to login i crash.. i wanna change it from this user ..
[04:29] <profanephobia> linux_,  compiz-fusion

[04:29] <giggi> profanephobia: what file ? i need to know what file to edit because gnome sessions is graphic, but x crashes as it logs in.. i need to edit the settings for the other user.. how do i do that?
[04:29] <profanephobia> ThatsMe, why would you want to
[04:29] <ThatsMe> ow buggggggggger...
[04:29] <stratjakt> haee
[04:29] <giggi> i need to know what file to edit because gnome sessions is graphic, but x crashes as it logs in.. i need to edit the settings for the other user.. how do i do that?
[04:29] <ThatsMe> profanephobia: Because i can't remember entering the login-info!
[04:29] <hendrixski> jrib, oh... I don't have this on installed but I need it... :-( but I don't remember the name... there's the rub
[04:29] <jrib> giggi: what setting exactly?
[04:29] <ThatsMe> darrrrned_
[04:29] <stratjakt> why did the live cd give me a 1280x1024 display, but once installed it wont go higher than 800x600?
[04:29] <john|g> _
[04:29] <kauer> ThatsMe: Bwahahahaha. You're screwed :-) No, not really. Reboot, and choose "safe mode",. That will (eventually) drop you into a root login with no X and you can set your password there. Then reboot.
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> Is moving from 32bit to 64bit Feisty a reinstall, or is there another way to do that - if I wanted to? I'm not looking for advice on whether to, just if that's possible... curiosity.
[04:29] <stratjakt> and how do i get clippy up runnin on this thing
[04:29] <profanephobia> jason_ pretty sure but for your future ref us sudo apt-cache search *** to search for app **** being app name
[04:29] <giggi> jrib: i fucked up by adding some apps to the startup.. dunno which one is causing the trouble tho
[04:29] <Cobra_Fast> hello
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: okay thnx, i'll try that
[04:29] <jrib> hendrixski: seahorse caches and prompts for passwords.  Searching the repos, looks like gnupg-agent does too
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> !ohmy | giggi
[04:29] <ubotu> giggi: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:29] <CheeseGardener> Does anyone know how to rename a disk in ubuntu????
[04:29] <jrib> giggi: did you look at ~/.config/autostart/ ?
[04:29] <CheeseGardener> an external hard drive that is.
[04:29] <erikja> !m4a
[04:29] <Cobra_Fast> someone abled to tell me how i can do deskbar-applet searching subdirectories of my home-folder?

[04:29] <kauer> ThatsMe: You did remember at least a username, right? If not, you have a longer row to hoe...
[04:29] <giggi> sorry ;>
[04:29] <profanephobia> giggi, have you tried safe login
[04:29] <giggi> profanephobia: no, how do i do that?
[04:29] <giggi> jrib: 's empty
[04:29] <linux_> profanephobia , i have installed compiz, now how i can runit ?
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: no, i can't remember anything from entering that info
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> giggi, safe should get you in without the apps running; logout and choose safe mode from the "Sessions" prompt before typing your username and pw to log back in
[04:29] <hendrixski> jrib, I found it... I needed pinentry, that's what it was called.  Thanks though :-)
[04:29] <profanephobia> giggi, at login screen in options sessions or from grub boot or live cd
[04:29] <giggi> Safe mode?
[04:29] <ThatsMe> kauer: i'm now in the console... root@ubuntu:~#
[04:29] <ThatsMe> now what?:P
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> blieve so
[04:29] <giggi> it says failsafe gnome
[04:29] <giggi> and such others
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> failsafe then
[04:29] <giggi> didnt work last time i tried
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> :/
[04:29] <Cobra_Fast> giggi, whats your problem?
[04:29] <hybirdbe> bla ,  iam parting laterzzz
[04:29] <profanephobia> linux_ compiz --replace
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> Have you tried more coffee? Obviously that's wht I need ...
[04:29] <giggi> Cobra_Fast: added some apps to the gnome session manager, logged out - logged in and it crashes
[04:29] <profanephobia> giggi, use failsafe gnome
[04:29] <ThatsMe> **asks again: now what in the console?**
[04:29] <jrib> hendrixski: ah ok
[04:29] <giggi> profanephobia: that crashed last time
[04:29] <profanephobia> Cobra_Fast, he messed up his gnome session
[04:29] <Cobra_Fast> then you go into Xterm save login, and run the gnome-sessionmanager-program
[04:29] <profanephobia> giggi,  use recov mode from grub boot
[04:29] <jrib> ThatsMe: you are resetting a password?
[04:29] <Cobra_Fast> dont actually know how its calles
[04:29] <ThatsMe> jrib: i'd like to get my account data
[04:29] <giggi> profanephobia: i only got ubuntu up, it boots directly into it
[04:29] <hendrixski> jrib, it's one of those things that they kind of forgot to put into a lot of documentation :-/  I keep meaning to send a few patches to the documentation teams but never have the time
[04:29] <jrib> ThatsMe: what account data?
[04:30] <Nutubuntu> I noticed a weird crash on login last night and only figured out what it might have been when I started a K session instead: a corrupted jpg file on the Desktop that couldn't be thumbnailed. I deleted that but have not yet tried another Gnome session ... kinda liking KDE ;p
[04:30] <linux_> profanephobia , ts work but how i do all the d cube eddects ?
[04:30] <CheeseGardener> Does anyone know how to change the label on a hard drive?????
[04:30] <kauer> iratik: I told you *exactly* how it was supposed to work on a production system. If "www.domain.com" does not resolve using the information in /etc/resolv.conf, then you have to put your desired names into /etc/hosts. If your machine is reachable via the Internet, you now have a machine with a name different to the one it is known by on the global internet, if indeed it has *any* name on the global internet. This is generally a bad idea.
[04:30] <linux_> effects *
[04:30] <ThatsMe> jrib: i've just installed ubuntu text-based... but i can't remembering entering any user-data
[04:30] <Cobra_Fast> giggi: go to xterm save login and type gnome-session-properties
[04:30] <jrib> ThatsMe: I see.  What does 'ls /home' return?

[04:31] <Skif> somehow I ended up with /var/lib/dpkg/available.old in a very funky state:

[04:31] <ThatsMe> kauer: please hold:P it's rebooting:\
[04:31] <profanephobia> Cobra_Fast,  whats the prob
[04:31] <Skif> that's from an ls of /var/lib/dpkg
[04:32] <Skif> I tried 'sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/available-old' but it won't do it.
[04:32] <CheeseGardener> Does anyone know how to change the label on a hard drive?????
[04:32] <Skif> keeps telling me "permission denied"
[04:32] <kauer> ThatsMe: It rebooted?!? On it's own!?!? Throw it away. Quickly. Get a new one.
[04:32] <PriceChild> Skif, DON'T delete things from /var/lib/dpkg !!!
[04:32] <Cobra_Fast> i want deskbar-applet to also search in subdirectories in my home-folder. it didnt change when i added thos paths into the beagle-settings
[04:32] <gorrz_> Cobra_Fast, gorrz@gorrz-desktop:~$ gnome-session-properties
[04:32] <gorrz_> could not connect to the session manager
[04:32] <Skif> PriceChild: available-old is fine to delete, trust me.
[04:32] <animal> can anyone help me ?
[04:32] <gorrz_> Cobra_Fast, it's giggi btw
[04:32] <PriceChild> Skif, on your head be it :)
[04:32] <Nutubuntu> !ask
[04:32] <Skif> PriceChild: anyway, it's apparently corrupted, so even if it weren't, which it is, I can't delete it.
[04:32] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:33] <Cobra_Fast> gorrz_: looks like you cannot change thos settings in xterm mode
[04:33] <profanephobia> animal, theres is no help for you.... lol whats the prob
[04:33] <ThatsMe> kauer: it returns: no such file or directory
[04:33] <animal> i have ubuntu 7.04 and i want to install beryl on it
[04:33] <animal> and i dont know how to begin
[04:33] <unagi> ugh beryl is so unstable =(
[04:33] <jrib> Skif: you might want to have fsck check the partition
[04:33] <hinogi> then join #beryl ^^
[04:33] <ThatsMe> kauer: btw, i pressed ctrl+alt+del exedentaly
[04:33] <profanephobia> animal http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/enable_compizfusion_in_ubuntu_feisty/
[04:33] <Cobra_Fast> unagi: tried compiz-fusion?
[04:34] <animal> i have this site
[04:34] <animal> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/02/06/install-beryl-on-ubuntu-feisty-with-aiglx-for-nvidia-ubuntu-704/
[04:34] <gorrz_> Cobra_Fast,  well thats a bummer..  any other ideas?
[04:34] <profanephobia> animal, go there its better than beryl..... its beryl and compiz lol
[04:34] <unagi> is compiz-fusion what is embedded in ubuntu?
[04:34] <animal> and i dont know how to do this : "Youll need to add the beryl-project repositories to your sources list. You can do that by adding the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
[04:34] <animal>     deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org feisty main"
[04:34] <profanephobia> unagi,  no
[04:34] <jrib> unagi: no
[04:34] <unagi> interesting
[04:34] <Cobra_Fast> unagi: you have to add some package-channels
[04:34] <kauer> ThatsMe: Really? "cat /etc/passwd" returned "no such file or directory?
[04:34] <ThatsMe> kauer: yes
[04:34] <jrib> !beryl > animal (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:34] <ThatsMe> kauer: oh wait
[04:35] <Cobra_Fast> gorrz_, wait ill try to find out how the session file is named ;o)
[04:35] <ThatsMe> kauer: did it wrong
[04:35] <kauer> ThatsMe: What about "ls /home"
[04:35] <profanephobia> animal, you can do it by terminl or gui
[04:35] <ThatsMe> kauer: i get a lot of data then
[04:35] <gorrz_> Cobra_Fast, thanks.. been looking myself as well.. lemme know if you find nething ;>
[04:35] <profanephobia> animal, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:35] <alesan> hi. normally there is an icon to enable/disable networking which is available to all users even to the ones that have no admini rights
[04:35] <alesan> admin
[04:35] <Cobra_Fast> anyone knows the solution of my deskbar-applet problem?
[04:35] <linux_> profanephobia , the minimize and close bottom now are hide , how i can close windows ?
[04:35] <profanephobia> animal, and add that link to that file and save
[04:35] <ThatsMe> kauer: also, there is no user name that i remember in there... i'll try to login with root
[04:35] <kauer> ThatsMe: What does it look like - crap, or a directory listing?
[04:36] <fyrestrtr> Cobra_Fast: what is the problem?
[04:36] <alesan> isn't it possible to show such network menu only to the ones that have admin rights?
[04:36] <Nutubuntu> Is moving from 32bit to 64bit Feisty a reinstall, or is there another way to do that - if I wanted to? I'm not looking for advice on whether to, just if that's possible... curiosity.
[04:36] <fyrestrtr> alesan: remove the user from the admin group, then they can't do anything to change the network settings.
[04:36] <profanephobia> linux_ is it after you insdtall compiz
[04:36] <gorrz_> anyone know how the gnome-session-properties conf file is named / located ?
[04:36] <ThatsMe> kauer: i get a lot of user data
[04:36] <Cobra_Fast> i want deskbar-applet to also search in subdirectories in my home-folder. it didnt change when i added thos paths into the beagle-settings

[04:36] <Nutubuntu> t/y fyrestrtr
[04:36] <linux_> profanephobia afte compiz --replace
[04:36] <jrib> gorrz_: it isn't a single file
[04:36] <kauer> ThatsMe: For exaple? Name one or two files you see there...
[04:37] <alesan> fyrestrtr, no, but a user without admin right can still disable networking
[04:37] <fyrestrtr> Cobra_Fast: it probably hasn't indexed them yet.
[04:37] <gorrz_> jrib, how can i change the settings without my gnome crashing on me ?
[04:37] <fyrestrtr> alesan: how?
[04:37] <ThatsMe> kauer: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/hash
[04:37] <alesan> he cannot change settings but can disable
[04:37] <jrib> gorrz_: which settings
[04:37] <RoundyT1> Hello, I have a question.
[04:37] <bikerbob> anyone help me get rhythmbox running? it thinks all my mp3s are no good?
[04:37] <RoundyT1> oops
[04:37] <RoundyT1> i mean i'm going to ask it
[04:37] <alesan> fyrestrtr, clicking on the "enable networking"
[04:37] <RoundyT1> haha
[04:37] <gorrz_> jrib, i added some apps to it, loggedout/in and it crashes
[04:37] <Cobra_Fast> fyrestrtr: how can i tell him to index it?
[04:37] <fyrestrtr> alesan: you cannot enable networking unless you have admin rights.
[04:37] <alesan> or even enable/disable wireless
[04:37] <kauer> ThatsMe: But that looks like a line out of /etc/passwd, which you said didn't exist...?
[04:37] <jrib> gorrz_: ~/.config/autostart/  have you checked this?
[04:37] <unagi> if i install compiz-fusion and need to uninstall it.....is it easy to get desktop effects back?
[04:38] <Cobra_Fast> fyrestrtr: i added all paths i want to search to the beagle-settings
[04:38] <gorrz_> jrib, its empty
[04:38] <fyrestrtr> Cobra_Fast: I don't know, probably restart the daemon, but I don't use it to be honest.
[04:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !mp3 > bikerbob
[04:38] <ThatsMe> kauer: Yes, i typed it wrong the first time
[04:38] <alesan> fyrestrtr, come on try: login with a non admin user and there you can *disable* networking and/or wireless
[04:38] <Cobra_Fast> gorrz_, found the file?
[04:38] <jrib> gorrz_: try renaming ~/.gnome2/session
[04:38] <RoundyT1> I'm just wondering what kind of UPS i should buy for my ubuntu and my debian machine...not really familiar with the voltages and things.
[04:38] <Nutubuntu> Another 32bit vs 64bit question: I'm running an AMD64 X2 processor. I installed 32bit Feisty. Some packages are identified as being compiled for the AMD64, and so far I have *not* installed any of them. Should I avoid them (do they mean, compiled for 64bit kernel, IOW)?
[04:38] <ThatsMe> kauer: "ls /home" doesnt return anything
[04:38] <fyrestrtr> alesan: I'll take your word for it.
[04:38] <alesan> fyrestrtr, you cannot change settings but enable/disable
[04:38] <gorrz_> Cobra_Fast, no
[04:38] <ThatsMe> kauer: And i typed "cat etc/passwd" in stead of "cat /etc/passwd"
[04:38] <RoundyT1> I'm just wondering what kind of UPS i should buy for my ubuntu and my debian machine...not really familiar with the voltages and things. -----its a server...and it needs to have a battery backup...:-D
[04:39] <alesan> fyrestrtr, any idea how to disable that?
[04:39] <gorrz_> jrib, hold up
[04:39] <fyrestrtr> alesan: I'm sure the ubuntu in the workplace wiki tells you these things.
[04:39] <linux_> ok how i can stop compiz ?
[04:39] <zbadone> reboot
[04:39] <fyrestrtr> RoundyT1: that depends on how long you want to run it on battery.
[04:39] <Jack_Sparrow> RoundyT1: Bigger is better buy what you can afford.. are you in San Diego?
[04:39] <alesan> fyrestrtr, you mean wiki.ubuntu.com ?
[04:39] <Nutubuntu> RoundyT1, you might do better in #hardware - that's all I can guess at myself
[04:39] <kauer> ThatsMe: Somehow you seem to have made it through the install without entering a username and password for you to use. I really think it would be simplest to reinstall, and this time take note of the username and password you enter. If you are never asked to enter either, then I don't know what install you are using, but I can't help with it.
[04:39] <fyrestrtr> alesan: yes, there is something there talks about ubuntu in the workplace, and controlling settings, etc.
[04:39] <fyrestrtr> alesan: I found it searching for something else.
[04:40] <gorrz_> jrib, no such file
[04:40] <josue_m> hi,  feisty:  how to disable automount of NTFS volumes when ubuntu startup?
[04:40] <alesan> ok
[04:40] <profanephobia> linux_ open the system monitor and stop the process
[04:40] <ThatsMe> kauer: Okay, i'll first try to login with root root
[04:40] <RoundyT1> Jack_Sparrow, nope in in SD
[04:40] <zbadone> I just got sound working on my laptop (Toshiba a205-s4577) by upgrading to the newest ALSA, how do I prevent system upgrades from reinstalling the older version?
[04:40] <kauer> ThatsMe: No, wait.
[04:40] <ThatsMe> kauer: login with root works
[04:41] <ThatsMe> kauer: oh:P
[04:41] <linux_> profanephobia , ok but how i can do the effect ? ( now i have only bubble windows or something like this ) how i can make the cube effect ?
[04:41] <fyrestrtr> RoundyT1: ups are rated on how long they can power your components after power outtage, the longer you want to survive on battery, the more the ups costs.
[04:41] <jrib> gorrz_: well renaming ~/.gnome* and ~/.gconf* will probably let you login at least but your settings won't be loaded
[04:41] <esteem__> I have a standard terminal command (it's basically some CD'ing and some copying) i want it to automatically run in terminal when I click it. How do I do this?
[04:41] <fyrestrtr> zbadone: they shouldn't downgrade.
[04:41] <kidbuntu> will ubuntu work fine on acer gemstone laptops?
[04:41] <kauer> ThatsMe: While you are here, logged in in safe mode, take the opportunity to set the root password to something you know. Oterwise you won't be able to log in.
[04:41] <profanephobia> linux_ i dont run it youll have to go to #ubnutu-effects
[04:41] <esteem__> (currently it is in notepad, the terminal commands)
[04:41] <zbadone> fyrestrtr: I install alsa manually
[04:41] <Jack_Sparrow> !hardware > kidbuntu
[04:41] <kauer> ThatsMe: By default, ubunto doesn';t permit root logins.
[04:42] <jrib> esteem__: if you use bash, .bashrc will get sourced everytime you start the terminal
[04:42] <fyrestrtr> esteem__: edit > profiles
[04:42] <jason_> profanephobia, i got it......now how do i use it- fmpeg
[04:42] <ThatsMe> kauer, well i see.. i'm logged in with root now?:\
[04:42] <kauer> ThatsMe: Instaed, yyou are supposed to use your own ordinary user account and use sudo.
[04:42] <gorrz_> jrib, humm.. thats inconvenient..
[04:42] <jason_> profanephobia, ffmpeg
[04:42] <unagi> holy crap compiz-fusion is smoother than desktop effects!
[04:42] <esteem__> jrib:  you'll have to explain a bit more
[04:42] <kauer> thatsMe; You are only "logged in" in safe mode, also known as single user nmode. It's actually an emergency back door, not for normal use.
[04:42] <ThatsMe> kauer: i'll reinstall first. because if i login. i still get the console...
[04:42] <kost_> hey
[04:42] <esteem> fyrestrtr:  opnce i'm in profiles, what then?
[04:42] <jrib> esteem__: there's a file called ~/.bashrc .  The commands in there are executed everytime you start a new shell
[04:42] <josue_m> hi,  feisty:  how to disable automount of NTFS volumes when ubuntu startup?
[04:43] <ThatsMe> ow, crap... i've got to help my dad... brb...

[04:43] <profanephobia> jason_, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/convert-flv-google-videos-to-mpg-using-ffmpeg.html
[04:43] <zbadone> josue_m: edit /etc/fstab, add noauto to the defaults area
[04:43] <kauer> ThatsMe: Yes; I'd just resis=nstall and make sure you get to enter an ordinary user and password (don't use "root" as your username, things may get bvery confused) :-)
[04:43] <CheeseGardener> Does anyone know how to change the label on a hard drive?????
[04:43] <Cobra_Fast> gorrz_ are you still there?

[04:43] <kost_> are you still here?
[04:43] <profanephobia> kost_, yea
[04:44] <zbadone> fyrestrtr: I install alsa manually, does that matter ?

[04:44] <profanephobia> kost_,  is it wireless
[04:44] <kost_> yes
[04:45] <daniele_983> hello all i've installed ubuntu feisty on my laptop vaio fz18m but it not mount my cdrom. I've seen lshw but i not found cdrom cd.
[04:45] <zbadone> josue_m: did that work? just man fstab for more info
[04:45] <Cobra_Fast> is deskbar-applet unable to search in subdirectories?
[04:45] <Jean11> where can I find info on netinstalling ubuntu
[04:45] <profanephobia> kost_ thats why i havent figured out how to get the wireless keyboard to work yet
[04:45] <josue_m> ok, I'll research
[04:45] <hume> Jean11, try the ubuntu wiki, there are pages about netinstall
[04:45] <jrib> esteem_: I don't really understand what you are trying to do
[04:45] <profanephobia> kost_ with a live cd untill log in
[04:45] <zbadone> Jean11: search for PXE ubuntu howto
[04:46] <hume> Jean11, you mean via PXE-boot?
[04:46] <kost_> profanephobia damn i dont have any wired keyboards around
[04:46] <kost_> damn
[04:46] <daniele_983> same suggestion?

[04:47] <ubotu> The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[04:47] <faileas> you can install it from it tho

[04:51] <esteem> jrib:  ok here's the deal. I've made a trext document with some commands (which basically call DD to format a memory card).. Thing is, I have to copy and paste the text within the text (the commands) into terminal. I want to be able to click the text document, and then ti would automatically put all of the contents with in it (AKA, the commands) and then run these commands in terminal. A bit like having a script to make  n

[04:57] <kauer> Insane`KDE: Basically you need to set up the buttons for your mouse in the "InputDevice" section of xorg.conf for the mouse. There aren't that many combinations for most mice. Worl out each button one at a time - find out which button number represents your left click, then find the rest. Unfortunately a lot of trial and error. You could try googling for your mouse (or the mouse driver name" and "xorg.conf"...

[05:01] <kauer> Insane`KDE: The buttons are basically numbers one through n from left to right. The Z axis is the scroll wheel. If the scroll wheel can click up and down or left and right as well as roll, those movements are "buttons" too. Some mice have lots of "buttons - 7 or 10!

[05:21] <SuperAngryFish> Hi, I have recently installed Ubuntu and it gets to a windows style loader screen, then once the bar has got to the end, it goes to a black screen and freezes on the black screen. Any ideas?
[05:21] <MrChicken> Hello
[05:21] <kitche> MSB$: yes http://dban.sourceforge.net/ is good shed will only overwrite files not the hwole drive at least according to it's man page
[05:21] <stefg> SuperAngryFish: your Xserver isn't configured right
[05:21] <MrChicken> I am running XUBUNTU, but I need to prevent non-admin users to shutdown the system. Can anybody help me?

[05:22] <kitche> Flannel: then the man page needs updated :) then
[05:22] <CheshireViking> !firewall | Lumio
[05:22] <ubotu> Lumio: 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).
[05:22] <zero-9376> fan speed is still being controlled y cpu temp and i have lm-sensors letting me watch the temp but im afraid of leaving it running, btw im asking here because i cannot control fanspeed in software (linux driver problem) and this is the only place where i can talk to people knowledgeable in such areas
[05:22] <thavorn> how to force quit a application which hangs

[05:22] <MSG4> Flannel so then in terminal i type in shred -u
[05:22] <SuperAngryFish> stefg: Where do i go to type that?
[05:23] <CheeseGardener> What is the "lost+found" folder in an EXT3 drive??????

[05:26] <Beyond_The_Grave> I can't seem to find the one like windows version of apache
[05:27] <Vinchenzo28> whenever i use youtube or a flash plugin on firefox it always gives my mouse problems how can i change that
[05:27] <stefg> SuperAngryFish: you'd need to boot in recovery mode, this will get you to a text-mode interface. you log in, and enter sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. This lets you reconfigure your video settings. Have the spec's of your CRT ready
[05:28] <profanephobia> Vinchenzo28,  are you 32bit tor 64bi
[05:28] <thavorn> how to tell ssh-server is turn on?
[05:28] <Vinchenzo28> profanephobia: 64
[05:28] <Beyond_The_Grave> What's a good gui for apache?
[05:28] <Vinchenzo28> should i get 32 bit firefox or somethin
[05:28] <profanephobia> Vinchenzo28, thats why adobe hasnt made a 64bit flash yet it doesnt work right
[05:28] <Kasle> can anyone please tell me how to make a touchpad move faster?
[05:28] <ConfidentiaL> how do I go about making "talk" or "ytalk" work on feisty?
[05:28] <Flannel> Beyond_The_Grave: you really don't need a GUI for apache.  Any GUI you have would be nothing much more than a glorified text editor.
[05:29] <profanephobia> Vinchenzo28, you can try installing the 32bit firefox with 32bit plugin or install the windows with wine
[05:29] <Beyond_The_Grave> that's fine with me, I was really talking about the one like in the windows version of apache, which is nothing more than a monitor...
[05:29] <profanephobia> Vinchenzo28, nothing else really works
[05:29] <Beyond_The_Grave> But no wine please
[05:30] <CheeseGardener> Does anyone know how I can give myself writing permission to an EXT3 external hard drive?  I just formatted it and it says I don't have writing permission, and that "root" owns it.

[05:33] <CheeseGardener> could someone walk me through permissions please??? I'm having a tough time figuring this out....
[05:33] <CheeseGardener> ?
[05:33] <Beyond_The_Grave> Nobody knows of a good gui for apache?

[05:33] <MrChicken> Hello. I am running XUBUNTU, but I need to prevent non-admin users to shutdown the system. Can anybody help me?
[05:33] <Big_Liar> Kasle, Can't you go to "Motion" and select your speed?
[05:34] <Pelo> MrChicken,  ppl in #xubuntu can probably direct you to the correct dialog box
[05:34] <Kasle> Big_Liar: no... nothing happends, but when i connect a mouse it is fast as hell
[05:34] <nasso> CheeseGardener, check this out! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod
[05:34] <x-code> i hope i find someone
[05:34] <stefg> MrChicken: that's a gdm configuration option. auntie google should know about that
[05:34] <Beyond_The_Grave> What does ant do?
[05:34] <x-code> here
[05:34] <Big_Liar> CheeseGardener, You need to ask a specific question if you want help.
[05:34] <CheeseGardener> Pelo it won't let me IM you.
[05:34] <jrib> nasso: lets say you 'su - user2', then you have to set the DISPLAY environment variable for user2 and as user1 you have to give user2 permission to use the screen (xhost +local:  is the easiest way but 'man xauth' as well)
[05:35] <Pelo> CheeseGardener,  no I don'T allow it , ask in the main channel, If I see the need I will take you to pm myself
[05:35] <Kasle> !touchpad

[05:35] <Big_Liar> Kasle, Type in "touchpad" in Synaptic Package Manager, there's a number of different support packages.
[05:35] <Beyond_The_Grave> nvm, but nobody has any idea of a good gui for apache monitoring? (with no CLI or WINE)

[05:35] <Beyond_The_Grave> OK, nvm...
[05:35] <nasso> jrib, oh. that seems complicated. maybe the ssh solution is easier then ;)
[05:36] <Pelo> x-code,  you need t ask an actual question
[05:36] <RainCT> how can I let Apache and MySQL start automatically on boot?
[05:36] <nasso> jrib, will check it out though. thanks!
[05:36] <x-code> ok
[05:36] <CheeseGardener> Pelo, i'm having a problem IMing you.
[05:36] <Pelo> RainCT, make a launcher and put it in /home/user/.config/autostart
[05:36] <CheeseGardener> But, my problem is what do I hate to put in console, to give myself ownership of my USB drive???
[05:36] <stefg> MrChicken: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/20/disable-shutdown-for-normal-users/
[05:36] <x-code> WELL
[05:36] <RainCT> Pelo: would that run as root?
[05:37] <jrib> nasso: nah, just do 'xhost +local:' as user1.  Then do 'echo $DISPLAY' as user1.  Then 'su - user2' and 'export DISPLAY=FOOBAR' where FOOBAR is what it was for user1 and it should work
[05:37] <Pelo> CheeseGardener,  I do not let ppl IM me,  I'm not using gaim anyway I'm using xchat,  talk to me in the this channel
[05:37] <Pelo> RainCT, add sudo to the command line
[05:37] <Big_Liar> CheeseGardener, What are you trying to plug into your USB drive?
[05:37] <x-code> HOW DO I MAKE CHAT INSIDE THE TERMINAL
[05:37] <x-code> ?
[05:37] <jrib> !caps | x-code
[05:37] <ubotu> x-code: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[05:37] <jrib> x-code: install irssi or bitchx
[05:37] <CheeseGardener> Nothing, I'm plugging the USB drive into my comp
[05:37] <CheeseGardener> I just reformatted it
[05:37] <Big_Liar> x-code, What is this "make chat", do you mean IRC?
[05:37] <thavorn> !init
[05:37] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[05:37] <CheeseGardener> so it says I have no permissions for it.  Only ROOT has permission.
[05:37] <x-code> and after i install it
[05:38] <hybirdbe> anybody know how i can resolve this ? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32781/
[05:38] <hybirdbe> dd
[05:38] <x-code> wat do i do
[05:38] <x-code> ?
[05:38] <Pelo> x-code,   typethe name of the app to start it
[05:38] <jrib> x-code: irssi.org has good documentation for irssi
[05:38] <x-code> it will run under the terminal
[05:38] <x-code> ?
[05:38] <jrib> x-code: yes
[05:38] <Pelo> CheeseGardener,  sudo chmod 777 /path  should talk care or it
[05:38] <Pelo> of it
[05:39] <hybirdbe> please give me priority iif possible , this is a pc for a customer :(
[05:39] <x-code> do i download that program with the add and remove package manager
[05:39] <Big_Liar> CheeseGardener, No comprendo, dude.  Be specific about your situation.
[05:39] <nasso> jrib, okay. thanks alot!
[05:39] <CheeseGardener> what is 777 for?
[05:39] <x-code> or go download it from a web site
[05:39] <jrib> CheeseGardener: sudo chown $USER: /path/to/your/mounted/partition    will give your user ownership.  What Pelo said will give everyone access, not just your user
[05:39] <stefg> CheeseGardener: you need a mount option in fstab and the right permissions on the mount point.if you don't mention the drive in fstab a simple reboot should fix it
[05:39] <CheeseGardener> Ok.
[05:39] <Pelo> hybirdbe,  what are you trying to do when you get this error ?
[05:39] <CheeseGardener> Ahh so who is right?
[05:39] <CheeseGardener> I got 3 different answers.
[05:39] <CheeseGardener> @_@
[05:40] <shekhar> hello can someone tell me what to do if my thinkpad is refusing to boot from the ubuntu install CD? it says that no operating system is on the CD...
[05:40] <Big_Liar> Don't listen to me, check out my nick.
[05:40] <hybirdbe> pelo > opening synaptic package manager
[05:40] <x-code> pelo
[05:40] <x-code> i know iam a bit stupid
[05:40] <Pelo> hybirdbe,  jsut opening it ? wow
[05:40] <x-code> but iam not good with linux
[05:40] <hybirdbe> yeah , wow indeed
[05:40] <jrib> CheeseGardener: it depends on what you want to do.  Though I think you do need to do either what Pelo said or what I said
[05:40] <x-code> and i dont know how to install software in it
[05:40] <Big_Liar> shekhar, Did you set up your BIOS to boot from the CD?
[05:40] <shekhar> Big_Liar, yes
[05:40] <stefg> CheeseGardener: all are right. depends on your scenario, and jrib has the orthodox answer
[05:41] <hybirdbe> damm :(:(
[05:41] <Big_Liar> shekhar, "it says that no operating system is one the CD" ... what is "it" ...?
[05:41] <Pelo> hybirdbe, did you mess with the sources.lst or anything else in the /etc/apt   folder ?
[05:41] <shekhar> Big_Liar, my thinkpad says this
[05:41] <Big_Liar> shekhar, Uh...
[05:41] <CheeseGardener> Well.... I think drive was set so I could plug it into ANY desktop
[05:41] <shekhar> Big_Liar, it's really strange
[05:41] <CheeseGardener> and it could be used.
[05:41] <x-code> how do i make amule get connected
[05:41] <x-code> ?
[05:42] <jdailey> I'm looking for help with setting up ruby on rails.   Had it working on Drapper Drake, upgraded to Feisty and have uninstalled and reinstalled mysql-server.   Various posts point to a CHOWN or CHMOD issue - but what I've tried hasn't worked.   I can start up the mySQL server  $mysqld and then it errors out (service stops) with a reference to the mysqld.pid.
[05:42] <CheeseGardener> It used to work so that if I plugged it in anywhere, it would open up.
[05:42] <hybirdbe> pelo > i just added a multiverse thing
[05:42] <Pelo> x-code,  I think you need ot get some servers, check the amule site
[05:42] <Big_Liar> shekhar, Without properly explaining your situation no one can help you.
[05:42] <jrib> CheeseGardener: windows won't read ext3 by default if you need that
[05:42] <RainCT> Pelo: going to try it, thanks
[05:42] <woodwizzle> I'm running64-bit feisty. How do I install flash?
[05:42] <x-code> how do i get bitch x
[05:42] <CheeseGardener> I know that lol
[05:42] <jrib> !flash > woodwizzle (see the private message from ubotu)
[05:42] <CheeseGardener> I need drivers for windows.
[05:42] <stefg> CheeseGardener: permissions... :-) you are not the owner of files or disks which were created on another box from another user (even if it was you in aphysical sense)
[05:43] <x-code> ?
[05:43] <Pelo> hybirdbe,  by editing the sources.list file ?  ok ,  restore the backup and try synaptic again,  you can enable multiverse from a dialog box in synaptic menues.  try doing it that way
[05:43] <jrib> !software > x-code (see the private message from ubotu)
[05:43] <CheeseGardener> Well, the old drive I had was NTFS
[05:43] <shekhar> Big_Liar, the situation is that i have a properly burned feisty install cd, and when i set my BIOS to boot from CD, the thinkpad says "Operating system not found"

[05:56] <n00blett> I just need a way to write on live cd to ntfs partition. any help?
 Yes. Nothing listed there.
[05:56] <Big_Liar> n00blett, Writing to an ntfs partition is unstable.
[05:56] <Pelo> Stormx2,  open up the printer manager and delete all the waiting jobs,   then check the properties and make sure you have the correct port and stuff
[05:56] <n00blett> Big_Liar, i dont care about that
[05:56] <Pelo> jdailey,  that was my only idea,  try asking in #mysql , they might know
[05:56] <n00blett> if it crashes, then it crashes, if i dont try, i have to reinstall it anyways
[05:56] <Big_Liar> n00blett, Is the partition mounted?
[05:57] <n00blett> Big_Liar, it shows at the /media/wint00t/
[05:57] <EvanLugh> YAY
[05:57] <n00blett> i can read, not write
[05:57] <EvanLugh> That was hard

[06:04] <dxdt> Hello, I have some questions about the AMD64 version of Ubuntu.  Basically, are the packages that I would install via aptitude with it AMD64 optimized as well?  I want to make sure that the new AMD64 processor I'm getting is used and not wasted and I'm debating between putting Ubuntu on it vs Gentoo.  I feel that,  if all the packages are optimized (for the most part that is--I'm sure some aren't or whatever) that there is no reason not to run the AMD64

[06:15] <DWSR> The_Joe_, can you do 'cat /etc/mtab | grep /dev/sd' in a terminal for me?
[06:15] <DWSR> EvanLugh, you got an exact model of your Belkin USB card?
[06:15] <bullgard4> nesssy: I do not know how precise an answer do you need. The term 'environment variable' is more general than 'shell variable'. So, what purpose is your question for?
[06:15] <EvanLugh> this is my third day , second year, i might kill myself.
[06:16] <EvanLugh> DWSR:  1 sec
[06:16] <pr4b1> hi guys, does anyone here use TvOn? im having probs grabbing uk tv listings.. uk_rt just fails after hours of 'scanning' :(

[06:16] <The_Joe_> brb
[06:17] <DWSR> ccxxpro, you might have to manually add Ubuntu to Fedora's GRUB menu.
[06:17] <ccxxpro> how can i get my ubuntu back
[06:17] <EvanLugh> today is my last day, i tried last year = same prblem
[06:17] <EvanLugh> this year= same problem
[06:17] <DWSR> !grub
[06:17] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto

[06:18] <The_Joe_> DWSR: Ok I ran the command, nothign happened
[06:18] <The_Joe_> *nothing
[06:18] <DWSR> cat /etc/mtab | grep /dev/sd?
[06:18] <EvanLugh> I'm off. I'll check the forums later incase someone has replied, but 2 years running ubuntu failed on me. Yay.
[06:18] <pr4b1> oh its OnTV btw lol
[06:18] <The_Joe_> Yes
[06:18] <DWSR> EvanLugh,
[06:18] <DWSR> stay for a second.
[06:18] <xtknight> EvanLugh, what's your question?
[06:18] <DWSR> I can help you out. I just recently got ndiswrapper working.
[06:19] <EvanLugh> sorry for this;
[06:19] <profanephobia> jrib, well do you know how to install a blackberry as a modem if wvdial cant find it
[06:19] <DWSR> I'm looking up what driver you have right now.
[06:19] <EvanLugh> Guys,as lame as it is, I really need urgent help ;p. I've got a temprary thernet cable hooked up because ndiswrapper isn't working. I'd appreciate it if you checked my thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518682) Thanks, I appreciate it!
[06:19] <EvanLugh> there :)
[06:19] <jrib> profanephobia: nope
[06:19] <profanephobia> nobody does
[06:19] <DWSR> lol
[06:19] <zim> DWSR alsa-base is already the newest version
[06:19] <EvanLugh> and.. I'm at my neighbors because I live in a 3 story house and can't get wired up.. i've lost my grips
[06:19] <EvanLugh> to extend my 200ft ethernet cable
[06:19] <EvanLugh> >:(
[06:20] <xtknight> EvanLugh, okay.  type sudo -H -s
[06:20] <The_Joe_> DWSR: It did nothing, is that normal?
[06:20] <jdailey> I'm looking for help with setting up ruby on rails. Had it working on Drapper Drake, upgraded to Feisty and have uninstalled and reinstalled mysql-server. Various posts point to a CHOWN or CHMOD issue - but what I've tried hasn't worked. I can start up the mySQL server $mysqld and then it errors out (service stops) with a reference to the mysqld.pid.
[06:20] <jdailey> error message in syslog is "Aug 6 08:35:20 my-laptop mysqld[8100] : 070806 8:35:20 [ERROR]  Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?"
[06:20] <jdailey> no instance mentioned in sytem monitor.
[06:20] <DWSR> just checking, hold on a second.
[06:20] <EvanLugh> xtknight:  done it
[06:20] <The_Joe_> Ok
[06:20] <xtknight> EvanLugh, then "lshw"  see if you can find the network adapter there.  there should be an interface name.
[06:20] <bullgard4> I cannot find in Configuration Editor the Disk Mounter applet. Where is it?
[06:20] <DWSR> The_Joe_, hmmm...

[06:21] <The_Joe_> Right now
[06:21] <DWSR> EvanLugh, pastebin for that.
[06:21] <xtknight> !paste | EvanLugh
[06:21] <jrib> !paste | EvanLugh
[06:21] <ubotu> EvanLugh: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:21] <kost_> is there any tut to install ubuntu using the Partition Magiv?
[06:21] <DWSR> The_Joe_, ok.
[06:22] <xtknight> EvanLugh, anyways it looks like ther is no driver loaded for the usb device
[06:22] <DWSR> I'm assuming that it's formatted in NTFS?
[06:22] <EvanLugh> xtknight, i know it's weird
[06:22] <The_Joe_> FAT
[06:22] <DWSR> The_Joe_, FAT32? FAT16?
[06:22] <xtknight> EvanLugh, type lsusb and pastebin this
[06:22] <EvanLugh> This is my third day, but i i do ndiswrapper -l , it says driver present
[06:22] <The_Joe_> I'm assuming FAT32, I only saw FAT when I plugged it in
[06:22] <xtknight> EvanLugh, or paste the single line corresponding to your network adapter
[06:22] <DWSR> The_Joe_, ah.
[06:23] <cmp1988> Does it say an alternate driver is present, like in your post, EvanLugh?
[06:23] <EvanLugh> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32786/
[06:23] <xtknight> EvanLugh, match it up to Bus 005 Device 002 like your lshw
[06:23] <DWSR> hmm..
[06:23] <tkitty> hii i m a new user to linux
[06:23] <DWSR> !fdisk
[06:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fdisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:23] <animal__> what is the ctrl + alt + del comand in ubuntu, is there a comand like the one in windows..
[06:23] <DWSR> !ask | tkitty
[06:23] <nesssy> okie, i got it. environment vars are inherited by child processes whereas shell vars are not and are local to the shell...
[06:23] <ubotu> tkitty: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:23] <tkitty> i m havin problem in my grub gettin loaded
[06:23] <tkitty> could anyone help me out
[06:24] <DWSR> animal, ps -A | grep <process>
[06:24] <animal__> what shall i do if an application blocks my pc.. how can i shut it down without rebooting the whole sistem ?
[06:24] <EvanLugh> sudo kill all i think
[06:24] <nesssy> animal_ use ^C.
[06:24] <xtknight> EvanLugh, one sec i'll try and check for support
[06:24] <DWSR> animal: Hit Ctrl+Alt+F(1-6).
[06:24] <DWSR> The_Joe_, hmm, reattach your disk to Ubuntu?
[06:24] <EvanLugh> xtknigh, thanks i appreciate it
[06:24] <tkitty> executing grub hdo failed
[06:24] <tkitty> this is the error i get
[06:25] <nesssy> that would mean using another term DWSR,
[06:25] <The_Joe_> Okie doke, hang on a sec
[06:25] <DWSR> nesssy, yeah, but so? It will get the job done.
[06:25] <DWSR> I use it all the time.
[06:25] <animal__> i installed compiz and when i try to modify anything on compiz, like 3d things or anything my pc just freezes
[06:25] <cmp1988> EvanLugh, could I take a look at your latest: ndiswrapper -l output?
[06:25] <xtknight> EvanLugh, prism54usb might work
[06:25] <nesssy> just clarifying mate. but ur right all the way
[06:25] <nesssy> :)
[06:25] <EvanLugh> cmp - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32786/
[06:25] <animal__> how can i shut down the app when it freezes ??
[06:25] <DWSR> xtknight, you're looking to get blkwgu.inf off of the CD that comes with it.
[06:25] <cmp1988> ty
[06:25] <EvanLugh> xtknight:  i think i've tried that
[06:26] <nesssy> do what DWSR said animal_
[06:26] <xtknight> EvanLugh, rt2570 is even more of a direct match.  also, zd1211rw has something close
[06:26] <xtknight> DWSR, ok
[06:26] <nesssy> use another term animal
[06:26] <The_Joe_> DWSRL: Nothing
[06:26] <The_Joe_> DWSR even
[06:26] <DWSR> animal, hit Ctrl+Alt+F5. Then, login to your system using the username and password you normally use, after that, type in ps -A | grep <process name>
[06:26] <cmp1988> In the picture of the forum, it appears that the rt2570 loads as the alternate driver for EvanLugh
[06:26] <DWSR> The_Joe_, no icon came up on your desktop?
[06:26] <The_Joe_> None
[06:26] <xtknight> EvanLugh, sudo modprobe rt2570
[06:26] <DWSR> The_Joe_, can you please try formatting the disk in NTFS?
[06:27] <tkitty> someone plz help me
[06:27] <EvanLugh> xtknight:  done
[06:27] <jrib> !helpme | tkitty
[06:27] <ubotu> tkitty: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:27] <xtknight> EvanLugh, post full output of "dmesg" and "sudo lshw"
[06:27] <The_Joe_> DWSR: Umm.... However I do that
[06:27] <DWSR> The_Joe_, plug your USB key into Windows.
[06:28] <DWSR> then do Start->Run->'cmd'
[06:28] <nesssy> DWSR, wouldnt that just get him process details? and then use the pid to kill it right?
[06:28] <zim> can anyone please help me with sound on a 7.04 server install
[06:28] <nweaver916> anyone know the correct source line for Kismet with 6.10 and an atheros based card? I've tried madwifi_ag, ath_pci, ath_hal. It's a cisco PI21 PCI card

[06:30] <zim> anyway now my message may stay on the screen
[06:30] <xtknight> elkbuntu, he did the same thing a second ago actually
[06:30] <nweaver916> anyone know what source line for an atheros card (CIsco PI21) in Kismet? madwifi_ag doesn't work
[06:30] <Equinox93> They seem not to have hoary
[06:30] <The_Joe_> DWSR: Anything else?
[06:30] <zim> can anyone help with sound on a server install of 7.04
[06:30] <DWSR> The_Joe_, try plugging it into Ubuntu now.
[06:31] <The_Joe_> Uhm. It's still FAT "/
[06:31] <DWSR> zim, You used a server install of 7.04 and you want SOUND?
[06:31] <Gigi> OK Guys!  I need the ultimate help!  I have a Blackberry Pearl and I need to install it to use it as a modem.  I do have the last version of Ubuntu
[06:31] <elkbuntu> xtknight, i scrolled up and i stand my point. if he's new he probably didnt 'get it'
[06:31] <zim> yes
[06:31] <DWSR> The_Joe_, sorry, try formatting it again, this time use 'format /FS:NTFS /X'
[06:31] <chris__> Perhaps you should upgrade Gigi?
[06:31] <fatbrain> What ftp-deamon would you recommend when hosting a ftp-server?

[06:32] <Gigi> chris__ upgrade what?  I have the last version of Ubuntu... 7.04 I think
[06:32] <duggi> hi
[06:32] <Equinox93> If I modify hoary sources.list and replace feisty everywhere "hoary" is.. Does the upgrade generally work?
[06:32] <duggi> need help setting up azureus

[06:32] <Equinox93> xtknight- Thank you. :)
[06:32] <The_Joe_> DWSR: "NTFS is not supported on this model"
[06:33] <duggi> nee helkp setting up any torrent client
[06:33] <duggi> *need
[06:33] <DWSR> The_Joe_, hmm.
[06:33] <DWSR> The_Joe_, hmm. then replace NTFS with FAT32
[06:33] <The_Joe_> k
[06:33] <DWSR> duggi, sudo apt-get install Azureus
[06:33] <duggi> i installed it man
[06:33] <nweaver916> fatbrain: it's not too bad, and it's one of the more secure. Of course, secure and FTP don't exactly go hand in hand.
[06:33] <duggi> its dling at a very very slow rate
[06:33] <DWSR> why? Installing from the repositories guarentees it will work with minimal configuration.
[06:34] <DWSR> nweaver916, SFTP.
[06:34] <nweaver916> fatbrain: the nice thing is that you can do per user configs, virtual users (bit more complex) and just normal users in their home directories
[06:34] <The_Joe_> DWSR: Ok it's now FAT32, I have to go now, I'll be back later if it doesn't work
[06:34] <The_Joe_> Thanks
[06:34] <DWSR> ok np. :-)
[06:34] <duggi> well, it says some nat problem and firewall
[06:34] <fatbrain> nweaver916: ok, thanks :)
[06:34] <DWSR> duggi, what client are you using?
[06:34] <zim> DWSR is there a 7.04 SERVER channel ?
[06:34] <duggi> azureus
[06:34] <duggi> in ubuntu 6.10
[06:34] <nweaver916> DWSR: sftp is more then your average windows noob can handle, company required "Normal" FTP. I only use sftp, no need for an ftp daemon then
[06:34] <DWSR> zim: Not that I'm aware of.
[06:35] <animal> after hitting CTRL + ALT + F5, and entering in "comand mode" what is the comand to come back to the graphical interface ??
[06:35] <nweaver916> anyone here running Kismet?
[06:35] <dxdt> I think sftp can be done by a normal person.  For me at least, they feel EXACTLY the same
[06:35] <Equinox93> xtknight- How would I fashion a sources.list entry for that?  deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists hoary main restricted universe multiverse
[06:35] <DWSR> duggi, first of all, install Azureus from the repositories. That will make sure that it works.
[06:35] <Equinox93> Doesn't seem to work
[06:35] <DWSR> After that, I can help you with port forwarding issues.
[06:35] <duggi> i installed it
[06:35] <zim> ok question to the room can anyonehelp with getting sound to work on my SERVER install of 7.04 ?
[06:36] <DWSR> zim: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[06:36] <dxdt> duggi: you can install Azureus from their site, just make sure you have the right Java installed.  Otherwise it will crash randomly and stuffs.  It is icky.
[06:36] <DWSR> You should have done a normal install and then removed X11 afterwards.
[06:36] <zim> DWSR dont want a gui
[06:36] <xtknight> Equinox93, are you trying to revive an old hoary?
[06:36] <dxdt> DWSR: that is horrible advice, he asked about sound, not how to install openoffice and ten other apps
[06:36] <duggi> no.. its not crashing, i am able to add torrents
[06:36] <DWSR> zim, you can remove it after.
[06:36] <duggi> it says NAT issue and firewalled
[06:36] <DWSR> dxdt: It's about NAT.
[06:36] <xtknight> Equinox93, just remove "dists" and it should work
[06:36] <Equinox93> xtknight- I'm trying to retrieve a few packages for an old hoary system.
[06:36] <duggi> get this.. i did everything they wanted me to do
[06:36] <DWSR> duggi: Check out www.portforwarding.com and look for instructions for your specific model of router.
[06:36] <Equinox93> xtknight- Upgrading would both take a long time and be fairly destructive. :)
[06:37] <duggi> i did that too
[06:37] <DWSR> Equinox93, a dist-upgrade doesn't take that long.
[06:37] <DWSR> Depending on what you're upgrading.
[06:37] <DWSR> !portforward
[06:37] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall
[06:37] <Equinox93> DWSR- I'd need to upgrade through 3 versions.
[06:37] <xtknight> Equinox93, remove "dists" it should work but make sure you know what you're doing or you'll end up with a Feisty-Hoary-frankenstein install ;)
[06:37] <zim> there must be a cleaner way to get sound to work ???
[06:37] <DWSR> You should be able to just jump to the latest version.
[06:37] <Equinox93> xtknight- haha..Yes I'm trying to avoid that. :)
[06:37] <duggi> i did port forwarding
[06:38] <DWSR> zim, espeak support esound?
[06:38] <vikku> WHat could be the command for knowing the runlevels in Ubuntu 7.04?
[06:38] <Gigi> I have Ubuntu 7.04 and I'm trying to install the BlackBerry Pearl to use it as a phone
[06:38] <animal> zim: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop = was this for the graphical interface question of mine ?
[06:38] <Gigi> I have Ubuntu 7.04 and I'm trying to install the BlackBerry Pearl to use it as a modem
[06:38] <DWSR> duggi, then your ISP is the problem and you have to ask them. If you've done everything that they wanted, you have to go to your ISP.
[06:38] <Cod1> Whenever I try to open a .wmv file, totem and VLC player close immediately.  What do I do?
[06:38] <DWSR> animal, no, what was your question? I can help you out though.
[06:38] <duggi> it runs in winxp man.. im on a dual boot system
[06:38] <dxdt> duggi: sorry I missed the part about NAT.  Yeah if you are behind a router you can do uPNP or setup prot triggering (as it is called on most linksys routers)  by default, Ubuntu has no firewall so that won't be a problem.  When I used to run azureus I just setup port triggering on ports like 6881 to 6889 and told Azureus to use ports in that range.  That was enough for me to get the green light from it that I'm no longer natted.  I did notice, however, 
[06:38] <chris__> I'm trying to get a URL Stream working in Rhythmbox, (http://209.85.88.198/TheJoyFM_HD-2.asx) But when I try to play it, nothing happens (I even wait for the stream to buffer)  Any help?
[06:38] <DWSR> duggi, did you forward the right port?
[06:39] <duggi> yeah
[06:39] <duggi> i did
[06:39] <DWSR> Then I can't help you.
[06:39] <animal> dwsr - after i enter the comand interface with ctrl alt F5, what is the comand to enter back in graphical interface ??
[06:39] <DWSR> If everything looks right to you, then just ignore the errors.
[06:39] <zim> animal no i am trying to get soung to work without a desktop enviroment on a server install
[06:39] <DWSR> animal: Ctrl+Alt+F7
[06:39] <duggi> but its not downloading anything
[06:39] <zim> sound
[06:39] <yaman> any one knows how can i switch my wlan0 to a monitor mode ?
[06:39] <liife> I'm on 5.04 right now and want to upgrade, I don't lose any of my data do i?
[06:40] <vikku>  WHat could be the command for knowing/adding/deleting  the runlevels in Ubuntu 7.04?
[06:40] <animal> dswr - what is the comand to kill an application after entering comand mode , again, pls i want to wrote it down
[06:40] <DWSR> !dist-upgrade > liife (see the private message from ubotu.
[06:40] <dxdt> yaman: if the card supports the command -- sudoiwconfing wlan0 mode monitor  otherwise programs like airmon can aide in setting it into monitor mode.  Some cards don't support it, but I think most do these days.
[06:41] <xtknight> sudo iwconfig^
[06:41] <Cod1> How do I disable things asking me for my password all the time?
[06:41] <DWSR> animal: kill <pid>
[06:41] <bullgard4> I cannot find in Configuration Editor the Disk Mounter applet. Where is it?
[06:41] <DWSR> If you want to find the pid, you type ps -A | grep <process>
[06:41] <dxdt> xtknight: thanks I didn't catch that.  Yeah it should be sudo iwconfig
[06:41] <animal> dwsr - what is pid ?
[06:41] <xtknight> process id, unique id for a process started on a system
[06:41] <vikku> What could be the command for knowing/adding/deleting  the runlevels in Ubuntu 7.04?
[06:41] <zim> animal you can also killall "appname"
[06:41] <DWSR> animal: Process ID. The little number that comes up when you run the command ps -A | grep <process>
[06:42] <Gigi> Hey guys, how can I save all my Firefox passwords in a single file (I have another computer with Windows instead of Ubuntu, and I need to know how to import those passwords from Ubuntu Firefox to Windows Firefox.  Thanks!!!!
[06:42] <dxdt> also xkill  that is one of my favorite commands.
[06:42] <DWSR> Gigi: Do a FEBE backup.
[06:42] <zim> animal do $ps auux
[06:42] <animal> dswr - so if i want to kill an app i hit ctrl alt F5, and then type  "ps -A | grep <process>"
[06:43] <Gigi> DWSR - How can I do that?  Will the file work on a Firefox installed on Windows?
[06:43] <DWSR> where <process> is the process that you want to kill.
[06:43] <xtknight> or killall "process"
[06:43] <DWSR> Gigi: Yes.
[06:43] <zim> look for the name for the prosees you want to kill then killall <appname>
[06:43] <Gigi> DWSR and how do I do it?
[06:43] <chris__> Hey peeps
[06:43] <chris__> I have a question...
[06:43] <vikku> What could be the command for knowing/adding/deleting  the runlevels in Ubuntu 7.04?
[06:43] <chris__> In rhythmbox, I can't open a Radio Stream (http://209.85.88.198/TheJoyFM_HD-2.asx), what codec do I need to download?
[06:43] <DWSR> Gigi: Install these two addons and use them: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=FEBE&status=4
[06:44] <xtknight> vikku,  sysv init config or something?
[06:44] <DWSR> !helpme | chris__
[06:44] <ubotu> chris__: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:44] <nweaver916> anyone know if you are required to update madwifi drivers to support Kismet in 6.10?
[06:44] <yaman> dxdt : it's not working as i don't have the (mode monitor thing)
[06:44] <Gigi> DWSR thanks a lot!
[06:44] <shekhar> hello can someone tell me what to do if the feisty iso which i have burned to CD does not boot? my computer says "Operating system not found" when attempting to boot the CD...
[06:44] <zim> vikku goto /etc/init.d
[06:44] <xtknight> !info sysv-rc-conf | vikku
[06:44] <zitner> HEY, does anyone know how to enable 3D Acceleration.
[06:44] <ubotu> vikku: sysv-rc-conf: SysV init runlevel configuration tool for the terminal. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99-5 (feisty), package size 23 kB, installed size 104 kB
[06:44] <DWSR> shekhar, try reburning the CD.
[06:44] <DWSR> zitner: what GPU are you using?
[06:44] <shekhar> DWSR, have done so three times now
[06:44] <Jack_Sparrow> shekhar: How did you burn the cd?
[06:44] <zitner> huh?
[06:45] <mylo> hi all,
[06:45] <shekhar> Jack_Sparrow, with gnomebaker
[06:45] <DWSR> zitner, GPU = videocard.
[06:45] <Jack_Sparrow> shekhar: IS there i-one iso on the cd or a bunch of files...   Normally I right click the iso and write to disk
[06:45] <zitner> Oh, lol.  INTEL MOBILE 945GM Express, I got the resolution to work, and open gl, but not the 3d thing.
[06:45] <zim> is anyone a SOUND guru I need to get my sound working on a 7.04 SERVER install help pls
[06:46] <DWSR> zitner, you used the restricted drivers manager?
[06:46] <shekhar> Jack_Sparrow, no it is definitely burned correctly, all the files are there, the .ini and .exe files also
[06:46] <liife> I'm about to upgrade to Breezy, but can someone answer some questions I have first?
[06:46] <shekhar> Jack_Sparrow DWSR i have also verified the ISO with md5sum\
[06:46] <zitner> Uh, I think, I'm new to linux, I hated Vista.
[06:46] <shekhar> Jack_Sparrow, i have never had this problem installing ubuntu before from a burned cd
[06:46] <DWSR> Go to Applications->System->Restricted Drivers Manager
[06:47] <bullgard4> vikku: It is complicated: Ubuntu 7.04 has replaced the traditional runlevel system with the Upstart concept. But not yet entirely. Google for Wikipedia and 'Upstart'.
[06:47] <animal> can anyone here help me on private with an app crash problem (its about compiz) - on the ubuntu-effects channel nobody responds PLZ HELP
[06:47] <erUSUL> zitner: i do not think the server kernel has sound support.
[06:47] <mylo> Does anyone know of a compiz channel?
[06:47] <Jack_Sparrow> shekhar: HAve you tried it on another pc?   Also right click write to disk can eliminate most user errors
[06:47] <RadiantFire> #ubuntu-effects
[06:47] <vikku> ubotu: adn xtknight : sysv-rc-conf is that the pkg name ?
[06:48] <zitner> Under application, I don't have anything that just says system.
[06:48] <DWSR> indeed.
[06:48] <shekhar> Jack_Sparrow, right-click write to disk does not allow me to control the burn speed and it usually fails
[06:48] <vikku> bullgard4: ok
[06:48] <DWSR> Go under System and you should see an entry for Restricted Drivers Manager.
[06:48] <xtknight> vikku, ya
[06:48] <liife> Can someone PM me? i need help upgrading to breezy

[06:49] <Jack_Sparrow> shekhar: Still seems you are not getting a good burn unless it boots in another machine
[06:49] <DWSR> Iceworm, It's not.
[06:49] <Iceworm> DWSR: It definitely is:  http://www.ubuntu.com/products/WhatIsUbuntu/serveredition
[06:49] <zitner> DWSR, ok, just has my wireless card and VMware.

[06:50] <DWSR> zitner: You're running Ubuntu on VMWare?
[06:50] <shekhar> Jack_Sparrow, i have burned from two different burners, three separate times...
[06:50] <zitner> No, just Ubuntu, VMware is on it.
[06:51] <DWSR> ah.
[06:51] <zitner> It's a driver monitor or something.
[06:51] <DWSR> hmmm..
[06:51] <DWSR> I can't help you zitner. I have no clue.
[06:51] <Cod1> By players keep closing when I try to play .wmv file!

[06:51] <Jack_Sparrow> shekhar: But have you tried it in a different machine...
[06:51] <Iceworm> DWSR: Ok.. I see.. Looked at that page many times and didn't see that..
[06:51] <DWSR> Get you your server edition ISO.
[06:52] <DWSR> Iceworm, pays to double check.
[06:52] <Iceworm> DWSR: Still.. when someone clicks a link to download server, it shouldn't be defaulting to download desktop.. I think ubuntu's webmaster needs to fix that.
[06:52] <Chills> DWSR: i mounted my ext3 partition on a folder from ubuntu live cd,, to give "write" permission i did "chmod -R 777 foldername", when i booted ubuntu, my sudo su isnt working.. how can i fix it any idea?
[06:52] <shekhar> Jack_Sparrow, not for the past few hours since i've been tearing my hair out... will try and get back to you... thanks for your support
[06:52] <DWSR> Iceworm, then send in a suggestion.
[06:52] <Iceworm> DWSR: I will.
[06:52] <DWSR> Don't come here and complain of a broken link.
[06:53] <Iceworm> DWSR: If it's easy to miss.. it's an error.
[06:53] <Iceworm> in the human interface
[06:53] <DWSR> It's not easy to miss.
[06:53] <Cha1nsaw> its not its an unsupported feature!
[06:53] <Iceworm> DWSR: I missed it many times over..
[06:53] <DWSR> Yes, well I found it the first time I looked at that page.....on 640x480 resolution.

[06:58] <liife> okay I've already read all of those instructions and it didnt answer my questions
[06:58] <kazim59> is there any software like Virtual Keyboard (on screen) in Feisty?
[06:58] <nos> dwsr: oss i belive. I had to install with the -noapic option. Its onboard sound, dual core cpu
[06:58] <liife> my question is, during upgrade I keep all my files right?

[06:58] <kost_> DWSR
[06:58] <chris__> Quick Question!
[06:58] <Julius1> no idea for my wifi ?

[06:59] <liife> also it tells me to gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and im not sure how to do that
[06:59] <DWSR> nos: That's your problem. OSS doesn't support multiple applications using sound at once. To get around this please 'sudo apt-get install alsa-oss'

[06:59] <erUSUL> liife: the better method is using the update-manager follow the instructions on the wiki

[07:00] <webking> hmm but in the german chat rooms is not a user
[07:00] <kost_> DWSR can you help me?
[07:00] <liife> okay I will check out the wiki

[07:00] <DWSR> kost_, you can't use your cursor in any BIOS at all.
[07:00] <erUSUL> Chills: use 'sudo -i'
[07:00] <DWSR> Chills, use sudo -i

[07:03] <zeroXeroZx> Cound someone help me with trying to install Ubuntu to a certain partition that i already have seperated?
[07:03] <DWSR> !dist-upgrade | liife
[07:03] <ubotu> liife: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:03] <DWSR> Follow ubotu's link and you will upgrade liife.
[07:03] <Pici> IndyLucian: Also check the forums, you might find someone with your hardware
[07:04] <liife> quit sending me that link it doesnt help at all
[07:04] <mailavj> need help
[07:04] <alecw1> What is the terminal command for "locking" the screen in Gnome?
[07:04] <unagi> !printer
[07:04] <mailavj> installed nvidia driver on fiesty fawn, but X crashing
[07:04] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[07:04] <desertc> !ask >mailavj
[07:04] <IndyLucian> i did check. . . i have a WG111T ( i couldn't find the supported netgear WG111) and i also had a dongle before that. for the current dongle, ndiswrapper is suggested but freezes the computer whenever I try to connect to a network and no one seems to know why
[07:04] <liife> DWSR I've read everything on that page like 5 times and it isnt answering my question hence why i asked it here
[07:04] <DWSR> liife: It does too.
[07:04] <DWSR> what version are you upgrading from?
[07:04] <liife> 5.04 to breezy
[07:05] <zeroXeroZx> Cound someone help me with trying to install Ubuntu to a certain partition that i already have separated im new to ubuntu
[07:05] <liife> it says to use gedit to edit sources.list and i do not know how to do that
[07:05] <DWSR> err.
[07:05] <alecw1> How do you lock the screen in Ubuntu via the Terminal?
[07:05] <DWSR> liife: Reinstall.
[07:05] <DWSR> 5.04 is very old.
[07:05] <liife> i know, thats why I want to upgrade
[07:05] <Pici> !breezy
[07:05] <ubotu> Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) was the third release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 13, 2007. See !eol for more details.
[07:05] <IndyLucian> alecw1, just press CTRL ALT L . . . easier than typing a command
[07:05] <DWSR> Breezy is about to end it's support cycle.
[07:05] <liife> but i dont want to back up all my files and do a fresh install because that could take me a while
[07:05] <mailavj> installed nvidia driver on fiesty fawn, but X crashing
[07:05] <DWSR> actually, it already has.
[07:05] <IndyLucian> alecw1, for the command-line though, i have no idea
[07:05] <alecw1> IndyLucian: I'm looking for the command specifically.
[07:05] <erUSUL> zeroXeroZx: just lounch the instalation procedure and when asked point the instaler to the "free" partition
[07:05] <DWSR> You shoudl upgrade to Fiesty.
[07:06] <DWSR> And to do that, I HIGHLY recommend just burning the ISO and starting over.
[07:06] <newbie07> hi i'm using 7.04 live cd and can't get my wireless to connect.  The blue thing just spins and doesn't connect
[07:06] <liife> so it would be faster to back up all my files and do a fresh install of 7.04?
[07:06] <DWSR> newbie07, what wireless card do you have?
[07:06] <zeroXeroZx> Usul i have tried that but i have 3 separate drives and none of them show up the partition i have made
[07:06] <DWSR> liife: faster and safer.
[07:06] <DWSR> zeroXeroZx, did you format the partition that you made?
[07:06] <liife> okay then
[07:06] <alecw1> How do I lock the screen with Ubuntu via the Terminal?
[07:06] <mailavj> i have GeForce FX 5200 128 MB card, but when i installed driver nvidia-glx for that,  x is crashing during boot.. help
[07:07] <newbie07> realtek 8185, i'm using ndiswrapper and the correct drivers that others used to get their wireless on the same notebook
[07:07] <liife> does 7.04 still come with bit torrent and gaim by default?
[07:07] <zeroXeroZx> yes i had formated it in windows and i dont kno what filetype it needs to be for Ubuntu
[07:07] <DWSR> liife, BT no, GAIM yes.
[07:07] <desertc> !binarydriver |mailavj
[07:07] <ubotu> mailavj: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:07] <DWSR> zeroXeroZx, that's why it's not showing up. Linux needs EXT2/3.
[07:07] <mailavj> thanks
[07:07] <zeroXeroZx> does it matter which one?
[07:07] <DWSR> zeroXeroZx, EXT3 is better.
[07:07] <liife> okay then where can I get gnome bit torrent once I've updated
[07:07] <newbie07> DWSR i'm using realtek 8185 wireless
[07:07] <zeroXeroZx> ok thnx ill try that
[07:08] <CarlF1> what do I install to use a bluetooth mouse?
[07:08] <desertc> liife: Yes, GAIM is easy to get going.  I think it is on by default
[07:08] <DWSR> liife: Out of the repositories. Not a big deal. You can just sudo apt-get install it.
[07:08] <liife> okay thanks, i suppose i will get to backing things up now then
[07:08] <Pici> !bluetooth | CarlF1
[07:08] <ubotu> CarlF1: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[07:08] <DWSR> zeroXeroZx, Windows will not be able to format using EXT2 or 3.
[07:08] <CarlF1> thanks
[07:08] <desertc> liife: The program is called gnome-bttorrent  (make sure you set the maxport so you can get more than one connection running)
[07:09] <alecw1> How do I lock a screen via SSH?
[07:09] <zeroXeroZx> im loaded up with the 7.04 cd right now can i do it in the virtual setup
[07:09] <desertc> liife: Sorry, no it's called gnome-btdownload
[07:09] <DWSR> alecw1: Why do you want to lock the screen?
[07:09] <liife> so apt-get install gnone-btdownload
[07:09] <animal__> i cant kill an application with the comand "killall compiz" - why ?
[07:09] <alecw1> I want to be able to lock an Employee's screen if necesary via SSH.
[07:09] <DWSR> zeroXeroZx, should  be able to, but I'm not going to walk you through that.
[07:09] <vistor> Hi, Im having trouble with Grub, I cant boot into XP anymore. I have tried for 2 days now and need a hand :)
[07:09] <desertc> liife: No it's part of the default install
[07:09] <DWSR> alecw1: Just disconnect from SSH.
[07:09] <zeroXeroZx> how hard is it?
[07:09] <liife> it is part of the default install for 7.04?
[07:09] <DWSR> !grub | visitor
[07:09] <ubotu> visitor: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:09] <desertc> liife: Just click a torrent link and it will start
[07:10] <DWSR> zeroXeroZx, not hard, I'm just not good with walkthroughs.
[07:10] <Pici> animal__: because the application name probablly isnt compiz.  I know with fusion the executable name is compiz.real
[07:10] <IndyLucian> When Gutsy is released, will i be able to upgrade to it via upgrade manager or will I have to reinstall the entire operating system?
[07:10] <Seoke> What would be the command to set all folders in /var/www/ to 755 and the files to 644?
[07:10] <zeroXeroZx> oh ok haha umm do u kno any1 that could help?
[07:10] <alecw1> No, sorry, I mean, if the Employee is using the PC, I want to be able to login through SSH, and lock the screen for the employee, DWSR.
[07:10] <liife> That's what I figured since it was default in 5.04 so I was just making sure
[07:10] <jose> g
[07:10] <DWSR> alecw1, Ah.
[07:10] <desertc> IndyLucian: There will be information, and it won't be hard.
[07:10] <DWSR> alecw1, no idea.
[07:10] <alecw1> :(
[07:11] <animal__> Pici: so the comand should be "killall compiz.real" ???
[07:11] <IndyLucian> desertc, thanks
[07:11] <Pici> animal__: Yes.
[07:11] <kooky_> ?
[07:11] <jrib> Seoke: find -type f -exec chmod 644 '{}' \;     untested for files and similarly for directories
[07:11] <liife> the first time i installed 5.04 it did something wierd where my resolution was huge and it wouldn't let me change it, but after I restarted my computer twice it just fixed itself. will I have that problem again?
[07:11] <jrib> Seoke: find /var/www -type f -exec chmod 644 '{}' \;     untested for files and similarly for directories
[07:11] <DWSR> liife: Probably not. 7.04 has much better hardware support.
[07:11] <zeroXeroZx> DWSR, do u kno of anyone here right now that could help?
[07:11] <RedFox> Hi
[07:12] <EvanLugh> =] 
[07:12] <DWSR> zeroXeroZx, just ask your question.
[07:12] <kooky_> ?
[07:12] <alecw1> Is there any way I can lock a screen on a remote PC via SSH?
[07:12] <DWSR> kooky_, what's your question?
[07:12] <desertc> !hi |evanlugh
[07:12] <liife> okay, thank you everyone. i probably shouldnt have waited so long to get off of 5.04
[07:12] <ubotu> evanlugh: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:12] <Tremitos> sup
[07:12] <jrib> alecw1: you just want to start the screensaver and lock it?
[07:12] <EvanLugh> Does anyone know of a guide to uninstall Ubuntu ASWELL as GRUB? because i can't get rid of grub..
[07:12] <EvanLugh> hey :)
[07:12] <zeroXeroZx> I need help setting formatting a partition while on the 7.04 cd virtual
[07:12] <DWSR> EvanLugh, Yup. Do a fresh install of Windows on the disk.
[07:12] <alecw1> jrib, either, one.
[07:13] <EvanLugh> DWSR.. dont have the M$ disk
[07:13] <mikefoo> Question:  So we have one web/db server with custom apps running out of space. We have a new server with bigger better specs.  slightly different hardware but still 32bit and same exact distro.   Could I just rsync everything over to new server?
[07:13] <Seoke> jrib: What about setting folders to 755
[07:13] <Tremitos> ??
[07:13] <EvanLugh> !removing ubuntu
[07:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about removing ubuntu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:13] <Pici> EvanLugh: Just run the windows fixmbr
[07:13] <DWSR> mikefoo: Should be able to. up.
[07:13] <Pici> EvanLugh: In the recovery console.
[07:13] <DWSR> yup*
[07:13] <hendrixski> I cant unset an environment variable.  i tried env --unset=VARIABLE but then when I run env | grep VARIABLE it still shows up!
[07:13] <unagi> how do i install desktop effects without installing compiz-fusion
[07:13] <EvanLugh> Pici: that'd work?
[07:13] <hendrixski> WTFeisty is up with that?
[07:13] <EvanLugh> and that would remove.. ubuntu too?
[07:13] <vistor> I had a previous XP installation and installed ubuntu on a seperate partition using the manual mode in installation. Once the system was installed grub did NOT detect/add the Win xp partition into /grub/menu1 so ive tried adding it manually but no luck. It says ! "No NTLDR". Any ideas...? Im stuck
[07:13] <kooky_> i juste test color on xchat, sorry
[07:13] <DWSR> EvanLugh, boot into recovery console and type fixmbr.
[07:13] <jrib> alecw1: set DISPLAY and use gnome-screensaver-command with the lock switch probably
[07:13] <Davy_Jones> EvanLugh: you have to boot to the recovery console with a windows CD
[07:13] <Pici> EvanLugh: Yes, it should.
[07:14] <EvanLugh> Ok, thanks for the help
[07:14] <zeroXeroZx> I need help formatting a partition while on the 7.04 cd virtual
[07:14] <EvanLugh> Bye!
[07:14] <alecw1> jrib, the DiSPLAY?
[07:14] <Chills> DWSR: when i login thru gnome it says "users $home./dmrc file is bein ignored. This prevents the default session & langauge frm being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permission. users $home directory should b owned by user and not writable by other users"
[07:14] <jrib> Seoke: it's similar, just change the type and the permissions (see 'man find')
[07:14] <DWSR> Chills: Oh.
[07:14] <Skeet> ok I have a problem...whenever I try to watch a video or listen to music the screen freezes and I have to exit it
[07:14] <jrib> alecw1: export DISPLAY=whatever
[07:14] <DWSR> you've effed up root's file permissions.
[07:14] <Chills> and ..
[07:14] <Skeet> what should i do
[07:15] <DWSR> Good luck with that.
[07:15] <Chills> yea.. :(
[07:15] <Chills> lol
[07:15] <Chills> deamonmind@DeamonminD:~$ sudo su
[07:15] <Chills> sudo: must be setuid root
[07:15] <Chills> sudo: must be setuid root
[07:15] <DWSR> Boot into the live CD and fix it.
[07:15] <Chills> DWSR any idea?? what should i do ?
[07:15] <DWSR> That's the only way you can really do it.
[07:15] <alecw1> Sorry jrib... I'm not understanding. I'm logged into SSH, at the command line, what would I do to lock the screen?
[07:15] <animal__> pls someone tell me the path to desktop
[07:15] <jrib> alecw1: if you do 'echo $DISPLAY' in an x session you'll see what it currently is for that screen
[07:15] <hendrixski> help I did export VARIABLE=whatever and now I want to unexport it... I tried env --unset=Variable and it didn't work :-(
[07:15] <DWSR> animal__, ~/Desktop
[07:15] <Chills> DWSR: how to fix?> like what exactly i shud do ??
[07:15] <animal__> thanks
[07:16] <DWSR> Chills: whatever it told you.
[07:16] <zeroXeroZx> I need help formatting a partition while on the 7.04 cd virtual
[07:16] <Chills> u told me " sudo -i " :S
[07:16] <Pici> zeroXeroZx: Virtual?
[07:16] <jrib> alecw1: k, you need to find out what screen you want to lock, then 'export DISPLAY=whatever' when you find that out, then 'gnome-screensaver-command --whatever-the-switch-to-lock-the-screen-is'
[07:16] <DWSR> Anyways, I'm oh.
[07:16] <webking> wow ubuntu is really very nice ^^
[07:16] <zeroXeroZx> I need help formatting a partition while on the 7.04 live cd i guess?
[07:16] <Chills> Arr...
[07:16] <hendrixski> zeroXeroZx, use gparted.. it's in the liveCD
[07:16] <alecw1> jrib, can I PM you?
[07:16] <Matic`Makovec> Hello there. Could anyone tell me what Java is that?
[07:16] <Matic`Makovec> java version "1.4.2-02"
[07:16] <Matic`Makovec> Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02)
[07:16] <Matic`Makovec> Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.2-02, mixed mode)
[07:16] <jrib> alecw1: you can use #ubuntu-classroom if there is too much traffic here
[07:17] <Chills> Pici : do u have any idea ?
[07:17] <Matic`Makovec> I can't really find the version _I think_
[07:17] <alecw1> joining, jrib
[07:17] <webking> but i think debian is better with security
[07:17] <zeroXeroZx> hendrixski, i am trying that right now but i cant find my partition i made
[07:17] <desertc> !offtopic >webking
[07:17] <Pici> Chills: You said that you set the permissions on somefolder, what folder did you reset all the permissions on?
[07:17] <hendrixski> zeroXeroZx, it's not showing a partition?  what _is_ it showing?  you may not have successfuly made one
[07:17] <newbie07> i can't get my wireless to connect, the blue icon just spins and doesn't connect, can someone point me in the right direction?
[07:18] <vistor> I had a previous XP installation and installed ubuntu on a seperate partition using the manual mode in installation. Once the system was installed grub did NOT detect/add the Win xp partition into /grub/menu1 so ive tried adding it manually but no luck. It says : "No NTLDR". Ive also tried changing the "root (hda0,0)" to "rootnoverify (hda 0,0). wont work.. Can someone help..?
[07:18] <desertc> !wifi >newbie07
[07:18] <zeroXeroZx> hendrixski, i have 3 drives and i had them all on windows, i had also partitioned 2 of the drives into 3 drives each
[07:18] <luigi_B> ciao
[07:18] <luigi_B> qualcuno parla italiano?
[07:18] <john_doe> I can't compile alsaCVS because I don't have the command python-config. Which package should I install to get this?
[07:19] <Chills> pici: i made a mistake and erased menu.lst from gurb folder!! i booted my pc thru ubuntu live cd,, i made a folder named "A" and mounted my ext3 partition over it! to give it write permission i did "chmod -R 777 A" , i got back my grub.. but i cant get sudo su :(
[07:19] <fruitbatJim> is there a simple check you can do in a bash script to check if someone has read or write permission on a file?
[07:19] <zeroXeroZx> hendrixski, so i cleaned out 1 partition and i can see it when i go to the computer - file browser but not in GParted
[07:19] <Davy_Jones> Chills: you can sudo -i
[07:19] <Davy_Jones> fruitbatJim: ls -l
[07:19] <hendrixski> zeroXeroZx, and you're sure that what you're seeing isn't another drive? and not the partition you think you have?
[07:19] <desertc> vistor: That's a Windows file needed to start the operating system.  I wonder if you picked the right partition in Grub, or got the syntax wrong.
[07:20] <fredl> does anybody use lphoto on standard ubuntu feisty?
[07:20] <hendrixski> zeroXeroZx, because that sounds like a lot of drives and partitions... very easy to lose track
[07:20] <fruitbatJim> thanx davy
[07:20] <Pici> Chills: You reset the permissions on every single file...
[07:20] <Chills> Davy_Jones: it says <Chills>
 sudo: must be setuid root
[07:20] <desertc> !ask >fredl
[07:20] <Chills> Pici : yep :(.. can i fix it back ?
[07:20] <zeroXeroZx> hendrixski, im sure all the partitions worked in windows but i only see the base 3 drives in GParted
[07:20] <Pici> Chills: You might be able to reset the permissions on /etc/sudoers, but you wont be able to fix the rest of the filesystem.  If I were you I'd backup and reinstall.
[07:21] <Chills> haha i guess i have to do tat aswell ..
[07:21] <Davy_Jones> Chills: you are probably not in the group that's allowed to use sudo... i don't know the command that'll let you in, sorry
[07:22] <vistor> desertc: Ive picked the right partition for sure, gpart tells me everything looks allright. If i use fdisk /mbr and boot into windows, will i then be able to reinstall grub somehow?
[07:22] <txoof> I've just recently installed fawn; I'm setting up cups, but the /etc/cups/cups.d/ directory is missing... has it moved someplace else?
[07:22] <beni> how can I record music, for example VLC streams in ubuntu?
[07:22] <Matic`Makovec> So hello there again. I am trying to remove java but I somehow do not know what to remove. There is no sun java on my computer, there is no gij..any ideas what for should I look?
[07:22] <hendrixski> zeroXeroZx, hhmmm... what tool did you use to partition?  because some windows tools may not make a standard partition... they don't seem to care much for standards in Redmond
[07:22] <duggi> help with azureus needed
[07:22] <Lumio> hey, how to change apt-get source? I set up my server today and now I want to install apache
[07:22] <duggi> did all the port forwarding
[07:22] <desertc> vistor: I am not sure I am following your logic, but you cannot install grub from windows
[07:22] <animal__> does anyone here have yahoo id to help me install something.. pls...
[07:22] <duggi> even added the ports in iptables
[07:23] <animal__> the lines flying here begin to stress me out
[07:23] <txoof> Lumio: /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:23] <hendrixski> Matic`Makovec, if you go to Applications->Add/Remove programs I think Java is one or two of the options you may remove
[07:23] <animal__> i cant understand and do anything pls help me
[07:23] <Davy_Jones> duggi: /join #azureus-support
[07:23] <zeroXeroZx> hendrixski, i used the normal computer management>Drives and partitioned them all to NTFS
[07:23] <Chills> Pici: i installed apache, php , many other stuff.. i guess i have to install in again after reinstalling ubuntu ?
[07:23] <duggi> joined it long back
[07:23] <duggi> no body responds over there
[07:23] <Pici> Chills: Yes.
[07:23] <duggi> :(
[07:23] <EvanLugh> hey erm whoever told me to fixmbr
[07:23] <Chills> thanx :)
[07:23] <hendrixski> Matic`Makovec, if not then System-->synaptic... and there will be several Java packages to that you may install or remove
[07:23] <EvanLugh> i just realised i dont have the disk
[07:23] <Lumio> thx txoof
[07:23] <EvanLugh> well need the disk*
[07:24] <Matic`Makovec> Okay, I'll check that. Thank you hendrixski
[07:24] <Pici> EvanLugh: You might not, but I'm not sure. I'd try asking in ##windows
[07:24] <CharlieSu> Does anyone know where wget grabs its ca-bundle for SSL connections??
[07:24] <zeroXeroZx> hendrixski, i can see them under Computer - File Browers on Ubuntu so i kno that they are there i can even open them and access files but they dont show up in GParted or the Install only the 3 base drives show up
[07:24] <vistor> desertc: sorry, this is what i ment: If i use fdisk /mbr to make sure windows is working correctly, is it possible to boot into linux somehow (live cd?) and reinstall grub after that?
[07:25] <EvanLugh> pici: i cant find that chan
[07:25] <hendrixski> zeroXeroZx, hhmm... very strange... and you've gone past the part in gparted where you select the drive... it doesn't show the partitions on the drives even then, right?
[07:25] <Pici> EvanLugh: Its ##windows not #windows
[07:25] <duggi> anybody can help me out reg azureus
[07:25] <Matic`Makovec> Oh, seems like it's j2re. Now if I remove that it seems that it wants to remove couple of other Java based programs and that's something I wouldn't like. Should I install Sun Java before removing j2re or something?
[07:25] <dinochopins> gwoo, the unbindModel is working great. Thanks ;)
[07:25] <vistor> desertc: because when you said i might have messed up the partition table i got a bit worried that i might have deleted a small partition that said "empty" when i partitioned, might have been the nt loader or something like that, just wanna make sure thats not what i did before continuing messing with  grub..
[07:25] <duggi> not just azureus, any bit torrent is not working
[07:26] <zeroXeroZx> hendrixski, some show up so im restarting in windows and im gonna double check the partitions
[07:26] <hendrixski> Matic`Makovec, there may be dependencies.  The java that's in the add/remove or in synaptic is the sun java...
[07:26] <hendrixski> zeroXeroZx, good idea
[07:26] <bullgard4> I cannot find in Configuration Editor the Disk Mounter applet. Where is it?
[07:26] <beni> how can I record music, for example VLC streams in ubuntu?
[07:26] <desertc> vistor: Yes, you can totally boot to a Live CD and then play around with your hard disk.  That's a great troubleshooting tool, even for Windows.
[07:27] <hendrixski> Matic`Makovec, it's much safer to use synaptic than installing the java packages from Sun's website because the friendly people at Ubuntu have modified it to make sure it works seamlessly
[07:27] <chamunks> anyone know where i should go for ddwrt help?
[07:27] <Matic`Makovec> Well that's the "problem" really
[07:28] <chazco> hi... is there a Linux undelete app for FAT32? I cut/pasted a file+folder from an SD card to the desktop... The folder worked correctly, but the file has disappeared

[07:28] <rgl> hi.
[07:28] <Matic`Makovec> The Java I have doesn't work properly. Or let me say it better. PHPeclipse doesn't work properly and developers blame Java
[07:28] <hendrixski> now that I've answered a few more peoples questions... how do I unset an environment variable? env --unset=Variable doesn't work

[07:29] <zeroXeroZx> hendrixski, i found that the drive its on is format as "Simple Volume" would that be why?
[07:29] <krang> When I set umask 0xx, I should be getting o +rwx on newly created files, yes?
[07:29] <hendrixski> Matic`Makovec, PHPEclipse... did you install it from Eclipse's website? or from synaptic?  if it's one then try the other as well :-)
[07:29] <DavidHKMrPowers> what's hot? any business idea?
[07:29] <Gizmo_the_Great> Hi. Got Feisty installed on a PC with two seperate CPU's (not dual core but two physically seperate processors). Both CPU's are detected, however, applications that I ran on Dapper utilised both cores for a single task (I had the 684 kernel installed) but with the generic kernel of the Fawn this is not so. Any ideas?
[07:30] <krang> For some reason, no umask number will set +x permission on newly created files
[07:30] <sai> Hi
[07:30] <john_doe>  I can't compile alsaCVS because I don't have the command python-config. Which package should I install to get this?
[07:30] <Matic`Makovec> hendrixski, apt doesn't have PHPeclipse
[07:30] <vistor> desertc: Ok, ill try that, let me just botheryou with one more question, :)  I just want to make sure ive understood the gpart table. When i write the menu1st for grub and choose the partition to boot ( hda(0,0) ) how do i figure out the number for the partition? Ive understood it starts counting at 0 so the first one should be 0, but which is the first one? top of the list and just count down or does it say anywhere?
[07:30] <Chris1> Here's one for the books.  Got DMRAID set up, my raid set is detected, but, when I try to partition it, it fails making the swap and I can't continue.
[07:30] <hendrixski> zeroXeroZx, I'm not sure the difference between a simple volume and a full partition.  I may not be able to help you after all :-(
[07:31] <desertc> !grub |vistor
[07:31] <ubotu> vistor: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:31] <hendrixski> Matic`Makovec, oh... man, it's really weird, they've got like a gazillion eclipse plugins in apt, but never the ones you need... :-/
[07:31] <zeroXeroZx> hendrixski, i think that is the problem tho because the subpartitions that showed up in GParted were "Primary Partitions and they seemed to show up fine
[07:31] <vistor> desertc: right, thanks :)
[07:31] <RequinB4> hey all - i'm trying to do this tut to make my intel sound work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto and after entering this command line : " sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel " halfway down i get this :  "WARNING:Makefile.conf.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting"
[07:31] <Matic`Makovec> hendrixski, heh, yeah :)
[07:31] <desertc> vistor: I do not recall the syntax off the top of my head... been a long time since I futzed with it
[07:32] <hendrixski> zeroXeroZx, hhmm... I guess now we both learned something new... Gparted looks for primary partitions, not simple volumes
[07:32] <tijn> hey ppl
[07:32] <Chris1> hey
[07:32] <desertc> vistor: Once you stop dual booting and commit to Linux, everything gets a lot easier as you move off proprietary applications

[07:35] <Chris1> Anyone know why a DMRAID setup would not allow a swap partition to be made in setup?  I am following the FAKERAID howto off the support site and my RAID set is detected fine, the drives show partitions when I edit the one raid LVM during setup.  However, when I go to write the changes the swap partition fails.  Any ideas?  I could go without the swap but, even with 2GB of RAM that is taking a risk, is it not?
[07:35] <Chris1> BTW this is for a server version setup

[07:39] <hwilde> Gigi, drop $80 and buy another harddrive.
[07:39] <tijn> are there any known problems with the last updates and network failures?  since i updated, met nic doenst seem to respond anymore..
[07:39] <Gigi> hwilde, there is not other way?
[07:40] <desertc> Gigi: I agree with hwilde
[07:40] <Piddy> Hey... Does anyone know how to download azureus/vuze via the Terminal?
[07:40] <Gigi> desertc is there another way?
[07:40] <tijn> If you want to do something in windows it asks you 5 times if you are sure, BUT if you install it, it will just f**k up your hdd
[07:41] <desertc> Gigi: When you install Windows, it will attempt to take over the boot sectors of your hard disk, thus corrupting your Linux installation
[07:41] <hwilde> Gigi, how much is all of your work really worth to you?  Harddrives are relatively cheap compared to losing everything when Windows destroys your partition
[07:41] <Gigi> hwilde, it is not the $... but when I wanna go back to linux, I need to replace the hard drives
[07:41] <desertc> gigi: Oh, you could install VMware or another Windows emulation tool
[07:41] <desertc> gigi: You didn't really specify what you wanted to do...
[07:42] <hwilde> Gigi, no, you can install two harddrives, and then add Windows to your grub.
[07:42] <Gigi> desertc I have wine, but I can't run my blackberry
[07:42] <XLV> hwilde, its not that dramatic, it will overwrite mbr, but you can reinstall it
[07:42] <Piddy> Anyone?
[07:42] <Piddy> =/
[07:42] <desertc> gigi: Yeah, sounds like you might be able to do that with VMware
[07:42] <tijn> PIddy, if you have the url, you can use wget
[07:42] <hwilde> XLV, I can, you can, but he doesn't sound that confident
[07:42] <xerawx> i have a 5g windows partition on my first HD, the rest of it ext3, and another drive full ext3, dual booting with wingrub
[07:42] <Gigi> desertc were can I get that?
[07:42] <desertc> gigi: VMware Server is a no-cost download
[07:42] <Gigi> on synaptics?
[07:42] <desertc> gigi: No, from VMware
[07:42] <hwilde> !vmware | Gigi
[07:42] <ubotu> Gigi: 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
[07:43] <desertc> gigi: Fair warning - this is going to install all sorts of proprietary drivers all over your Ubuntu system
[07:43] <Piddy> tijn, on vuze.com there's a "download now" button... It doesn't take u anywhere, it just downloads from their main page...
[07:43] <Piddy> So, what would the command be?
[07:43] <desertc> gigi: If I were you, then I'd spend the $80
[07:43] <Rayyan> guys should i download beryl or compiz fusion?
[07:44] <tijn> Piddy: can you right click on the button and choose copy link?
[07:44] <Piddy> Rayyan, if you think your pc can handle it..
[07:44] <tijn> or even better, dl via sourceforge
[07:44] <Gigi> desertc - I have extra hard drives at home...  How do I do it then\
[07:44] <Piddy> tijn, hmm, one sec.
[07:44] <unagi> whats the apt-get command for reinstall
[07:44] <Rayyan> it can
[07:44] <xerawx> there's no way to sync a blackberry with linux?

[07:45] <xerawx> that's pretty lame.. but then i think blackberryz are pretty lame >.<
[07:45] <Piddy> Rayyan, then yes, I think you should download Compiz Fusion.
[07:45] <Lucifer> what itunes alternative can i get 4 Ubuntu
[07:45] <Rayyan> alright thanks pid
[07:45] <hwilde> !ipod | Lucifer

[07:45] <Piddy> Rayyan No problem=)
[07:45] <desertc> gigi: Personally, I have no problem opening my computer -- I would take my original hard drive out, install on a new hard drive, and then add the original - configuring grub to boot to the new hard drive as an option
[07:45] <kdubois> how do you do that IRC thing where its like "***kdubois [blah blah blah] " ?
[07:45] <Lucifer> tnx guys
[07:45] <kost_> guys, how can I enable usb keyboard support in my motherboard?
[07:46] <desertc> gigi: Keep the conversation in this channel
[07:46] <kdubois> kost_: make sure its enabled in the bios, and it should just work...
[07:46] <kost_> how to make sure?
[07:46] <Gigi> ok... it was easier by the other way, more quite
[07:46] <Piddy> tijn, I did the command wget http://torrents.aelitis.com:88/files/Azureus_2.5.0.4_linux.tar.bz2.. Does it just download it, or does it install it aswell? Cos I have no idea how to install stuff on ubuntu.
[07:46] <desertc> kost_: There are usually different USB options, like Legacy Support.  You may need to play around with those depending on your computer
[07:46] <tijn> k, iam still hung up with my nic :( it doenst respond to anything, but if i restart networking, i see it tries to release the lease from 10.0.0.2 (which is my router)
[07:46] <tijn> Piddy: it only downloads it
[07:47] <Gigi> Desertc then.  I set the new Windows Master drive and I put the Linux one as a slave drive.  Then, how do I configure the grub?
[07:47] <Enselic> tijn: Piddy: um, isn't azareus already in the repos?
[07:47] <hwilde> !fixgrub | Gigi
[07:47] <ubotu> Gigi: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[07:47] <tijn> Piddy: but isnt azureas in the rep?
[07:47] <tijn> ah :D
[07:47] <tijn> too late ;)
[07:47] <Piddy> It is? :S
[07:47] <tijn> apt-cache search azureus
[07:47] <desertc> Gigi: The drive settings would depend on your drive controller, most new ones are autodetect
[07:47] <kost_> Desertc Where should i go to play with them though?
[07:48] <Meyvn> hello fellow ubunites!
[07:48] <tijn> heya
[07:48] <desertc> kost_: Into your BIOS.  Have you tried unplugging the keyboard after it boots, waiting, and plugging it in again?

[07:49] <tijn> i dont know if its a safed setting
[07:49] <Meyvn> isn't azureus kinda bloated?
[07:49] <tijn> the module is loaded correctly

[07:50] <Piddy> I'm on ubuntu
[07:50] <tijn> Piddy: well the router ip
[07:50] <xerawx> Meyvn: azureus is probably the most bloated torrent app ever created
[07:50] <tijn> piddy it worked before so maybe it saved it somewhere..
[07:51] <Meyvn> xerawx: sure, to each their own. I prefer lightweight tools...
[07:51] <desertc> gnome-btdownload works just fine

[07:51] <xerawx> I've heard good things about ktorrent too.. and i've got rtorrent installed since yesterday but haven't got around to setting it up yet

[08:02] <IndyLucian> I am having trouble with VNC in the aspect that when I scroll the window down to see the lower portion of the remote screen, I cannot scroll back up. This is the same when scrolling to the right.
[08:03] <K-4U> hello, is anyone here?
[08:03] <IndyLucian> How do I fix this
[08:03] <tijn> there is something i noticed, suddenly i have avahi installed, some mDNS thingie, i know nothing about it, but it is there
[08:03] <Meyvn> tijn: no clue what that is
[08:03] <K-4U> can somebody tell me how to enable 3d-rendering?
[08:03] <desertc> !ask |K-4U
[08:03] <ubotu> K-4U: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:03] <tijn> me neither.. should i just apt-get remove --purge?
[08:03] <K-4U> already did;)
[08:04] <K-4U> how do i enable 3d-rendering?
[08:04] <Jopie> I'm having problems with my network connection - the connections to the mirrors time out, but I am able to resolve ip-addresses and ping google.com and such
[08:04] <Jopie> any ideas?
[08:04] <desertc> K-4U: 3D rendering is enabled when you have drivers for your 3D card
[08:04] <fahd> hi
[08:04] <K-4U> okay, ty desertc
[08:05] <desertc> Jopie: That is not really clear
[08:05] <IndyLucian> K-4U, if you cannot run anything that uses 3d, you might try checking your restricted drivers manager
[08:05] <Rayyan> bonjour bap
[08:05] <IndyLucian> System->Administration->Restricted Drivers
[08:05] <Rayyan> oops wrong client :P
[08:05] <ryphix> I'm having a problem where linux won't boot if the IDE cable is plugged into my CD-ROM drive?  Is it common?
[08:06] <Jopie> desertc: sorry, I meant that when running apt-get it fails to connect to the archive server, but it does say Connecting to nl.archive.ubuntu.com ([ip here] )
[08:06] <desertc> Jopie: You'll have to be more specific on what the issue is - but it is likely that we can't help fix issues that are not specific to the Ubuntu frontend
[08:06] <hwilde> ryphix, you probably have primary/secondary master/slave conflicts on the cable so it is not recognizing yoru harddrive
[08:06] <Rayyan> if i want to run exe files, should i install wine or is there another better software?
[08:06] <desertc> Jopie: Have you tried a different archive server?  Sometimes the servers have problems or are overloaded
[08:06] <hwilde> !wine | Rayyan
[08:06] <ubotu> Rayyan: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.

[08:07] <tijn> maybe i just fried my nic.. :S
[08:07] <hwilde> ryphix, when they are all plugged in does the bios recognize all the devices
[08:08] <ryphix> yes
[08:08] <ryphix> windows boots fine
[08:08] <hwilde> !fixgrub | ryphix
[08:08] <ubotu> ryphix: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:08] <Rayyan> yeah dubois
[08:08] <hwilde> ryphix, grub probably needs the hda/hdb/hdc/hdd specification corrected.  when you plugin the cdrom it is probably changing the order of the drives
[08:08] <ryphix> I haven't lost grub

[08:09] <ryphix> thanks
[08:09] <Rayyan> but for example my samsung phone doesnt have linux software for it
[08:09] <Rayyan> so im gonna need wine
[08:10] <hwilde> ryphix, primary master should be hda, primary slave hdb, secondar master hdc, secondary slave hdd.  this has to be specific in grub and could be changing with the cdrom connected
[08:10] <Jopie> where can I find a list of ubuntu respitories / alternatives?
[08:10] <ryphix> not even the live cd will boot when the cd rom is plugged in

[08:13] <Yarcanox> what do I need to sudo to restart alsa

[08:16] <hwilde> Yarcanox, run alsamixer and turn up the volume and unmute
[08:16] <Yarcanox> sometimes when closing it and opening an other midi, the sound stops
[08:16] <Piddy> hwilde, the command didn't work.
[08:16] <desertc> Piddy: It's called "bittorrent" in synaptic
[08:16] <Yarcanox> I can't play anything in timidity anymore, same for amarok etc (which worked everything before)
[08:16] <RequinB4> I'm still trying to fix my sound as well - I installed alsa, unmuted everything and upped volume in alsamixer
[08:16] <Yarcanox> and hwilde I have already tried the alsamixer
[08:16] <Piddy> desertc, what, ktorrent or the other one+
[08:16] <Piddy> ?
[08:16] <desertc> Piddy: Don't screw up GNOME by adding KDE applications!
[08:17] <hwilde> Yarcanox, lspci -v    does it show your sound card?
[08:17] <Yarcanox> can't get it working again except restarting my computer :(
[08:17] <Piddy> desertc: :O
[08:17] <RequinB4> it says i have 2 sound cards in 0 and 1

[08:20] <Piddy> oh.
[08:20] <Yarcanox> I thought it would be stopped with the GUI too
[08:20] <Yarcanox> but this helped now
[08:20] <hwilde> Yarcanox, ps -ef | grep -i timidity
[08:20] <Yarcanox> so at least there was still a background process running

[08:32] <RequinB4> i'll just have to wait
[08:32] <big_fat_liar> RiCCo69, Maybe try openSUSE instead.  Its supposed to have better laptop support.  I think the install is easier than Ubuntu as well.

[08:50] <desertc> ghatak_mobile: Your best route for support is to go into the #alsa channel.  But they will probably tell you the mic is muted.
[08:50] <unimatrix9> ah !

[08:51] <desertc> ghatak_mobile: type: amixer and look at the results

[08:54] <desertc> I have already tried getting Ubuntu to make the mic turned on by default, but many do not want to enable that functionality -- so -- not an ubuntu issue.
[08:54] <hwilde> it could create intefernce and feedback and blow out your speakers.  so it is disabled by default period
[08:55] <ghatak_mobile> desertc: ok
[08:55] <ghatak_mobile> will request there
[08:55] <desertc> hwilde: That's fine - but as you can see, enabling a mic is a royal pain in the butt.  Ubuntu makes no effort to empower the user to use it.
[08:56] <desertc> hwilde: It would be one thing if the record mic volume was turned down to 0 by default, but it is muted in a half dozen places.  No documentation or process how to enable it, either.
[08:56] <hwilde> desertc, well it is open source and there is a wiki so nothing is stopping you from making a howto for everyone instead of just complaining
[08:57] <desertc> hwilde: I'm not complaining.  I'm pointing out the state of things.
[08:57] <hwilde> write a howto and post it on the wiki.

[09:12] <K-41> can anybody help me to get compiz running please? i just keep getting a notification...
[09:12] <iRRV1> ..so i need a second hd?
[09:12] <lietu> no
[09:13] <iRRV1> cause i have one...its just like 5 gb :-/
[09:13] <desertc> K-41: Your 10th time asking this hour.  How many times do we need to answer you?
[09:13] <lietu> iRRV1: even if you had the second hdd, you'd need to boot the linux system afterwards with a rescue cd and re-install grub
[09:13] <iRRV1> ah
[09:13] <K-41> err, desertc i'm really sorry.. but i can't remember the channel...
[09:13] <iRRV1> so i could use the livecd to do that
[09:13] <lietu> well, that or you'd have to manually choose the boot drive every time you want to boot
[09:13] <lietu> iRRV1: propably, just not sure how exactly that would be done
[09:13] <desertc> K-41: #ubuntu-effects

[09:14] <jrib> shk1: with regards to your earlier question, take a look at how the 'ubuntu-calendar' package does it (note that some files may be nsfw but I don't know of other packages right now).  It creates a .xml file in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/ .  And the user properties about backgrounds are stored in ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml
[09:14] <iRRV1> lol i could find a tutorial sometimes
[09:14] <K-41> ty desertc
[09:14] <iRRV1> thanks hwilde
[09:14] <steel_lady> ok, I have serious and annoying problem: every program, system update or enything I try to install I get the same error that you can see if you magnify the screenshot and reed in the black window: http://i10.tinypic.com/4zyhhd2    What can I do???
[09:14] <shk1> thanks jrib
[09:15] <eifzon> hmm, I just installed XP on my other hdd, and when I am starting my computer, I am not seeing the option to choose win
[09:15] <hat0> i have a very basic question:  is there any difference between what's added in Add/Remove programs and the synaptic package manager?
[09:15] <hwilde> steel_lady, you must define the interface in /etc/default/upnpd like it says in the error message.
[09:16] <hwilde> !fixgrub | eifzon

[09:16] <jrib> hat0: nope, they install the same packages
[09:16] <Ace2016> desertc: well i came here to ask a question but it might be kde specific so i'll ask in #kubuntu
[09:16] <desertc> OT: Today, Consumer Reports reported Americans lost $7 billion in last two years due to malware, trojans, spyware, viruses, and zombie bots.  None of which effect Ubuntu, btw.
[09:16] <hat0> jrib, thanks very much for the info!
[09:16] <DeusEvo> hwilde: yes, I did (when I burned it, my burning software verified it),  If I try to verify the CD from the live CD menu, i get the same error
[09:16] <steel_lady> hwilde I do not have any idea what does it mean defining the interface
[09:16] <Vinchenzo28> how do i gain permissions to drop a folder in /usr/share/xmms/Skins ??
[09:16] <desertc> Ace2016: Okay, good luck getting an answer, sir.
[09:16] <hat0> also, i commend you all on a fine linux distribution and a fine community.  the fedora people are jerks compared to you all.
[09:16] <jrib> Vinchenzo28: why not just use ~/.xmms/Skins ?
[09:16] <DeusEvo> I think I found my issue here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_SATA_and_Linux#DVD_drive_not_recognized
[09:17] <profanephobia> hat0, were to humble to accept that lol

[09:18] <steel_lady> hwilde, I came here hoping that somebody knows
[09:18] <Vinchenzo28> ok got it thanks everyone
[09:18] <hat0> profanephobia, no, seriously, i was shopping around for a new distribution after some 10 years of using slackware, and the fedora people were very rude when i had my stupid questions about using these "modern" linux distributions with their real package managers.
[09:18] <marti149> how do you reconfigure a ubuntu package
[09:18] <hwilde> steel_lady, that is pretty obscure - better luck typing that error msg into google.
[09:18] <hat0> ubuntu is just a bunch of nice people
[09:18] <hat0> so, good on all of you
[09:19] <hwilde> hat0, the redhat and fc people are jealous of apt...
[09:19] <profanephobia> hat0 why the switch from slackware

[09:45] <jrib> cod1: test the one at http://www.linspire.com/products_linspire_whatis.php?tab=compatibility (download it and play it locally)
[09:45] <bipolar> duggi: logging out and logging back in will do that.
[09:45] <hwilde> bipolar, sure, you could add something to /etc/rc.local  that prompts for hostname, runs ssh-keygen, and then overwrite rc.local with a backup stored on the image so it only runs once.

[09:47] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[09:47] <Paddy_EIRE> Rayyan: no probs...you using feisty
[09:47] <MenZa> hwilde: No, that's not it. I've tried reconfiguring xorg, but that doesn't do it.
[09:47] <Rayyan> yeah
[09:47] <MenZa> It's having problems initialising the GLX module.
[09:47] <MenZa> apparently.
[09:47] <Rayyan> i tried installing an amsn skin, and it told me i dont have write access
[09:47] <salo> hi ihr schnuggis
[09:47] <hwilde> !sudo | Rayyan
[09:47] <ubotu> Rayyan: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:47] <stefg> MenZa: what reason do you have not to use the driver from the repos?
[09:47] <Paddy_EIRE> Rayyan: then you have an ntfs write tool in there already
[09:48] <MenZa> stefg: None in particular. I felt like getting down and dirty with it. I tried re-installing nvidia-glx from the repositories, to no avail.
[09:48] <Rayyan> alright thanks guys
[09:48] <Elive_user8> hey guys, i work in a photography shop and we use large tiff files, but they're all on different machines so some kind of wireless print/file server would be cool, can i use a linux box for this type of thing? and would it save fast enough over wireless and would the printers work properly with windows drivers etc
[09:48] <Rockinghorse> Rockinghorse is gone...but he'll be baack...
[09:48] <desertc> Elive_user8: Heck year
[09:48] <hwilde> !smb | Elive_user8
[09:48] <ubotu> Elive_user8: 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
[09:48] <Paddy_EIRE> Elive_user8: depends on the hardware in question
[09:49] <MenZa> stefg: I used it earlier; decided to upgrade it.
[09:49] <Rayyan> how much time would it take me to get used to ubuntu? im a new convertee
[09:49] <Paddy_EIRE> Elive_user8: although printer drivers are rarely a problem...wifi maybe though
[09:49] <stefg> Rayyan: about two lifetimes :-)
[09:49] <desertc> Rayyan: Ubuntu is very easy to use and it is built for new users in mind.
[09:49] <hwilde> Rayyan, how quickly can you forget everything about windows
[09:49] <MenZa> Rayyan: Depending on how much you use it, you could become a pro in 2 weeks, or 2 years.
[09:49] <Elive_user8> Paddy_EIRE, well we're a photography studio so need to use our canon i9950 canon printers
[09:49] <xerawx> Elive_user8: wireless is generally not considered fast or reliable enough for business use, especialyl for very large files..
[09:49] <Rayyan> haha alright
[09:50] <desertc> Rayyan: You can try a LiveCD so you can experiment with the OS before actually installing it.
[09:50] <Rayyan> hoepfully ill forget windows quickly :P
[09:50] <kiba> hello
[09:50] <desertc> kiba: Greetings.
[09:50] <Paddy_EIRE> Elive_user8: they will be fine whats the wifi hardware
[09:50] <Rayyan> desert i already installed, cos i was sick of windows
[09:50] <Elive_user8> xerawx, just we have computers all over the place so would be easier
[09:50] <xerawx> Elive_user8: and i mean wireless as in hardware, regardless of what OS you use to serve it
[09:50] <desertc> kiba: What question do you have today?
[09:50] <MenZa> stefg: Any suggestions whatsoever?
[09:50] <boinaverde1996> hello Debian's
[09:50] <Paddy_EIRE> err
[09:51] <desertc> Rayyan: Enjoy the freedom of Free Software.
[09:51] <hwilde> MenZa, apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx
[09:51] <MenZa> I did that, hwilde.
[09:51] <MenZa> Then re-installed it afterwards.
[09:51] <hwilde> remove it!
[09:51] <Rayyan> thanks, feel free already, and only had ubuntu for 2 days
[09:51] <boinaverde1996> some can help me in Kubuntu?
[09:51] <MenZa> Right, gone, hwilde.
[09:51] <Paddy_EIRE> Rayyan: you will have hiccups but stick at it, its more rewarding
[09:51] <MenZa> !anyone | boinaverde1996
[09:51] <ubotu> boinaverde1996: 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?
[09:51] <hwilde> MenZa, ok problem solved
[09:51] <xerawx> Elive_user8: well, if it's your only option.. but you might want to test a single machine at max range saving a typical file first to get a feel for it
[09:51] <MenZa> hwilde: Problem... solved?
[09:51] <stefg> MenZa: run the nvida*.sh with option --uninstall, then reinstall nvidia-glx, linuxrestricted-modules and probably l-r-m-manager
[09:51] <MenZa> I'll try starting X.
[09:52] <MenZa> stefg: Digging it. Thanks.
[09:52] <pyrargent> boinaverde1996: kubuntu channel for kubuntu specific stuff
[09:52] <Rayyan> yeah, and im especially relieved now that i know ubuntu can read microsoft office files
[09:52] <desertc> Rayyan: Remember - your efforts to use free resources today will empower you tomorrow.
[09:52] <Rayyan> for school and all
[09:52] <hwilde> MenZa, after you remove it dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it will go back to generic
[09:52] <zeroXeroZx> I am getting a GRUB Error 17 after just installing Ubuntu off the live cd any help?
[09:52] <MenZa> hwilde: I do not want a generic driver.
[09:52] <ozzloy> i just installed guarddog, a firewall.  i can ping google.com now, but i can't surf there on my browser.  even if i turn off the firewall
[09:52] <hwilde> !fixgrub | zeroXeroZx
[09:52] <ubotu> zeroXeroZx: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:52] <hwilde> MenZa, well you also do not want glx errors and no x
[09:53] <Paddy_EIRE> Rayyan: even at that crossover office will allow you to run M$ office if you must but I personnally prefer OpenOffice
[09:53] <serenityUK> No more viruses either Rayyan, surf in safety
[09:53] <hwilde> OpenOffice is far superior
[09:53] <fednube> are there any tutoral on how to jail users to upload, download and delete ..... how easy is it to setup chroot via ssh ?
[09:53] <Rayyan> yeah serenity, well i was on firefox anyway
[09:54] <Rayyan> back on windows that is
[09:54] <profanephobia> wget "the internet"
[09:54] <desertc> fednube: see #ubuntu-server
[09:54] <Rayyan> actually firefox is one of the main reasons i tried ubuntu
[09:54] <Paddy_EIRE> Rayyan: when I used win all the software I would run would be opensource anyhow
[09:54] <ConstyXIV> how do you get the latest pidgin in ubuntu?
[09:54] <profanephobia> firefox is for everyone on all OS
[09:54] <profanephobia> almost all
[09:54] <hwilde> !pidgin | ConstyXIV
[09:54] <ubotu> ConstyXIV: pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It wasn't released in time for Feisty. Expect it in gutsy. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info.
[09:54] <fednube> desertc thx
[09:54] <ozzloy> i can't open the faq page.  someone please help
[09:54] <ConstyXIV> profanephobia: not AmigaOS :)
[09:55] <Paddy_EIRE> !getdeb | ConstyXIV
[09:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about getdeb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:55] <Paddy_EIRE> ahh
[09:55] <MenZa> stefg: what restricted modules do I want?
[09:55] <profanephobia> ConstyXIV, wow that sucks i dont think i could browse the internet without the fox
[09:55] <milan_> does anyone know if there's another way to get Internet Explorer working on Ubuntu 7.04 than Ies4linux?
[09:55] <profanephobia> milan_, no
[09:55] <milan_> ok
[09:55] <profanephobia> short answer.. no
[09:55] <milan_> hehe thanks
[09:55] <orange__> How i install wine
[09:55] <ConstyXIV> milan_: there's always a VM if you want to go that far
[09:56] <xerawx> you can run IE on linux...?
[09:56] <xerawx> i'm shocked that anyone would want to do that.. but i guess for testing
[09:56] <orange__> wait nvm
[09:56] <stefg> MenZa: the linux-restricted-modules-generic metapackage. you need nvidia.ko reinstalled
[09:56] <profanephobia> orange__,  sudo apt-get install wine
[09:56] <slestak> milan_: use virtualbox and install xp, thats what i do
[09:56] <Paddy_EIRE> milan_: crossover office or wine-doors
[09:56] <MenZa> stefg: I re-installed generic and common; I still get errors about mismatched GLX and kernel module versions. :/
[09:56] <jb0nd38372> Virtual box is good vm software, faster than vmware
[09:56] <Paddy_EIRE> milan_: why would you want to...?
[09:56] <MenZa> I've sudo apt-get install --reinstall'ed linux-restricted-modules-generic nvidia-glx
[09:56] <MenZa> I've done*
[09:57] <ConstyXIV> Paddy_EIRE: if youre a web developer, you need it to test in IE
[09:57] <profanephobia> xerawx,  trust me dont just get a virtual box and install xp
[09:57] <milan_> Paddy_EIRE: web developer... need to test websites in IE
[09:57] <xerawx> is virtualbox free?
[09:57] <ConstyXIV> xerawx: yes, both ways
[09:57] <slestak> xerawx: yes
[09:57] <erUSUL> !virtualbox
[09:57] <ubotu> VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox
[09:57] <profanephobia> yeah its a pain developing for IE
[09:57] <Paddy_EIRE> oh
[09:57] <stefg> MenZa: maybe sudo depmod -a fixes something
[09:57] <orange__> profanephobia ... its not working forme
[09:57] <profanephobia> cause microsnot has to do everything different (except vista) lol
[09:57] <slestak> Paddy_EIRE: i do becuase my employer bought a windows only vpn soln, so i have to use ie to start up a vpn session
[09:57] <MenZa> stefg: Here goes nothing.
[09:57] <Paddy_EIRE> milan_: there is a way to get ietab working in firefox on ubuntu
[09:57] <rich_> ubotu: Is VirtualBox better than qemu?
[09:58] <profanephobia> orange__, are your repos enabled
[09:58] <profanephobia> rich_, i like it better
[09:58] <MenZa> As I feared
[09:58] <erUSUL> rich_: ubotu is a bot ;P
[09:58] <profanephobia> lol
[09:58] <milan_> Paddy_EIRE that sounds good too :)
[09:58] <boris_> people
[09:58] <Paddy_EIRE> brb... laptop charge going down
[09:58] <milan_> Paddy_EIRE i think i found something
[09:58] <orange__> profanephobia how i enable it
[09:58] <slestak> rich_: i never used qemu, but virtualbox is painless and robust.
[09:58] <Paddy_EIRE> ok
[09:58] <boris_> my card isnt supported and yet beryl works
[09:59] <rich_> ok, qemu is far from being painless
[09:59] <profanephobia> !respository | orange__
[09:59] <boris_> aiglx or glx shouldnt support it
[09:59] <profanephobia> lol
[09:59] <rich_> So I could give it a try
[09:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about respository - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:59] <nedw> isn't kubuntu a little bit behind in features before ubuntu, or am i incorrect?
[09:59] <stefg> MenZa: so were you clever enough to have a backup before starting to tinker?
[09:59] <profanephobia> it would help if i spelled it right
[09:59] <Rayyan> y wanna use IE?
[09:59] <MenZa> stefg: I kept a xorg.conf backup.
[09:59] <desertc> nedw: I do not think that is the case.
[09:59] <MenZa> stefg: I don't have time for backups; it often lands me in stuff like this.
[09:59] <Rayyan> orange_ go to add remove
[09:59] <Rayyan> from applications
[09:59] <Rayyan> and search wine
[09:59] <Rayyan> well back on windows i sometimes had to use ie when ff didnt work correctly on certain pages
[09:59] <Rayyan> but i dont know if ill face the same prob with ff on linux
[09:59] <slestak> on my c2duo laptop, i have had ubuntu host running fedora and xp vm's at the same time and both were usable
[10:00] <AlexUbuntuBcn> hi
[10:00] <nedw> desertc: does it lack the restricted drivers manager etc?
[10:00] <desertc> !enter >Rayyan
[10:00] <MenZa> stefg: So anyway; what it complains about is mismatching versions of the kernel module and the X module; the kernel being 1.0-9755, the X module being 1.0-9631
[10:00] <desertc> nedw: No, it does not.

[10:05] <hwilde> wheres ubotu
[10:05] <hwilde> there we go
[10:05] <jonyboy1000> hello wolrd!
[10:05] <desertc> KyleYankan: Greetings, what is your question?
[10:05] <nedw> desertc: excellent, thank you!
[10:05] <AlexUbuntuBcn> please, someone use Gambas?
[10:05] <stefg> MenZa: oh, you parbaly need nvidia-glx-new
[10:05] <stefg> !info nvidia-glx-new
[10:05] <erUSUL> MenZa: you may have instaled both nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new
[10:05] <MenZa> stefg: Hmm, that's a possibility, of course
[10:05] <AlexUbuntuBcn> (the #Gambas channel is empty)
[10:05] <desertc> nedw: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
[10:05] <MenZa> stefg: I think I tried using it once; having it break
[10:05] <MenZa> stefg: I'll try; my chip is moderately new (7950GT)
[10:05] <erUSUL> MenZa: stick with only one of those
[10:05] <bauer> ubotu: I need it to install python 2.4.4
[10:05] <Piddy> Does anyone know how to turn Compiz Fusion off?
[10:05] <MenZa> erUSUL: Of course.
[10:05] <stefg> ubotu seems sleeping
[10:05] <ubotu> nvidia-glx-new: NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'new' driver. In component restricted, is optional. Version 1.0.9755+2.6.20.5-16.29 (feisty), package size 4719 kB, installed size 14400 kB
[10:05] <Truman_> Does camorama support V4l2, or are there any other webcam packages that do?
[10:05] <MenZa> Piddy: killall -9 compiz && metacity
[10:05] <MenZa> Should do it
[10:05] <MenZa> well
[10:05] <MenZa> metacity --replace maybe
[10:05] <Piddy> menza thanks
[10:05] <MenZa> stefg, erUSUL: Thanks, nvidia-glx-new did it. :)
[10:05] <KyleYankan> I can verify `metacity --replace`
[10:05] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about seems sleeping - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:05] <desertc> KyleYankan: Can you be more specific in your question?
[10:05] <erUSUL> MenZa: no problem ;)
[10:05] <MenZa> :)
[10:05] <desertc> !hi |jonyboy1000
[10:05] <KyleYankan> desertc: I was tring to verify what MenZa stated about turning of compiz
[10:05] <ubotu> jonyboy1000: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:05] <jonyboy1000> can i ask a question?
[10:05] <AlexUbuntuBcn> Please, somone know how to made a variable for save, for example, the X and the Y of the one object? for example... RatonPosition [X] [Y] , but this doesn't works... somone know the correct form?
[10:05] <nemo_work> Say folks, I was wondering if anyone knows of a standard full-sized ubuntu with modifications made for running off a flash drive
[10:05] <CheshireViking> !ask | jonyboy1000
[10:12] <desertc> KyleYankan: Ah, please specify the people you are talking to.  :)
[10:12] <nemo_work> any HW autodetection, running /tmp, /dev/, /var etc in RAM, that sort of thing
[10:15] <hwilde> nemo_work, search for "ubuntu usb pendrive"  there are tons of tutorials
[10:15] <KyleYankan> nemo_work: Ubuntu can be booted from a cd, with "persistent" mode enabled, which allows you to save modifications to a flash drive.
[10:15] <Piddy> MenZa I got this error about Screen 0 on display :0.0 already has a windows.. thingy.
[10:15] <nemo_work> KyleYankan: sooo, would that require a CD as well, or would you be installing it as if on a CD, off the flash drive?
[10:15] <nemo_work> hwilde: googling
[10:15] <CheshireViking> jonyboy1000, ask your question, if somebody can help and is around, you should get some help
[10:15] <KyleYankan> nemo_work: That would require a cd as well, and to boot it would require a cd and a flash drive. It allows you to save space on your flash drive, to customize your OS.
[10:15] <ozzloy> please help, i can't browse the web with firefox
[10:15] <N3432> what do i need to setup broadcom bcm4318 wireless
[10:15] <KyleYankan> ozzloy: Can you further describe your problem?
[10:15] <nemo_work> KyleYankan: mm. not quite what I'm looking for I guess
[10:21] <nemo_work> hwilde: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent  this sort of thing eh?
[10:21] <stefg> !ipv6 | ozzloy
[10:21] <AmirB> Help! I can't shut down my computer!
[10:21] <PriceChild> We're in a netsplit, please be patient.
[10:21] <bauer> Howto get Tcl/Tk Developer ?
[10:21] <radioman> stay with us then ;}
[10:21] <panique> i get this quakenet-feeling again
[10:21] <ozzloy> KyleYankan: i installed guarddog, turned on some rules, now i can't browse.  so i disabled guarddog firewall still can't browse with firefo
[10:21] <ozzloy> x
[10:21] <nemo_work> hwilde: so, looks like the end result of that walkthrough is something like the install CD only off a flash drive...
[10:21] <ozzloy> i can ping google.com though
[10:21] <xerawx> nemo_work: you're looking for a self-contained bootable pendrive version of ubuntu?
[10:21] <nemo_work> xerawx: yep
[10:21] <AmirB> when I got to the quit menu, it doesn't give me the shutdown or restart options anymore! they just dissapeared!
[10:21] <ozzloy> and i can talk on IRC
[10:21] <Piddy> Um- help? I went to the systemmonitor, I quit the compiz.real process, and now the maximize, minimize and quit buttons on all windows disappreared.. God, I need help with this one.
[10:21] <xerawx> nemo_work: just trying to clarify, sorry i don't know of one specifically but i imagine there must be such a thing..
[10:21] <nemo_work> xerawx: ideally without using a full ramdisk, but with wear modifications for common partitions (running /tmp|/var|/dev as ramdisks)
[10:21] <KyleYankan> ozzloy: Can you get an internet connection on that pc?
[10:21] <KyleYankan> Piddy: Try executing metacity --replace
[10:21] <ozzloy> KyleYankan: yes, i'm talking on it right now to you!
[10:21] <Xenoie> ozzloy, try running 'sudo iptables -F'
[10:21] <serenityUK> Piddy, press alt-f2 and type metacity --replace
[10:21] <nemo_work> xerawx: thought so too, just wasn't finding one when poking around
[10:21] <bren> c
[10:21] <Piddy> alt-f2 isn't working
[10:21] <ozzloy> Xenoie: nope, still can't bring anything up in firefox
[10:21] <Piddy> Btw, I have an emerald theme.. Should I activate that instead of metacity?
[10:21] <CheshireViking> is ubotu having problems? seems to be some delay with the responses
[10:21] <ozzloy> weeeee
[10:21] <Xenoie> ozzloy, :(
[10:21] <KyleYankan> piddy: Try ctrl+alt+f2 to bring up a terminal (you'll have to login and type ctrl+alt+f7 to return to your gui)
[10:21] <Piddy> Omg frikkin spammers
[10:21] <Xenoie> ozzloy, that would have flushed any firewall rules
[10:23] <ozzloy> Xenoie: i don't know what that means
[10:23] <nemo_work> xerawx: there are nice little mini-distros like DSL of course, but this is a 4GiB flash drive.
[10:23] <nemo_work> xerawx: maybe just used this pendrivelinux distro
[10:23] <CheeseGardener> For some reason when I right click on my external hard drive and click "eject" it says "cannot eject drive".  Why is this?
[10:23] <Xenoie> ozzloy, it would have removed (flushed out) any active firewall configuration or rules
[10:23] <Meyvn> nemo_work: amazing how much stuff fits into 50Mb
[10:23] <nemo_work> Meyvn: oh. I'm a big DSL fan. have some customisations for it, and love it since it frees up more room for data
[10:23] <nemo_work> Meyvn: boss wants more features though
[10:23] <ozzloy> Xenoie: oh
[10:23] <serenityUK> CheeseGardener, sometimes you have to force it.   try sudo umount /dev/somedrivename     ....not no N in umount
[10:23] <nemo_work> ubunut itself installs fine on a Flash drive, I'm just suspecting there will be issues with autoprobing for hardware
[10:23] <AmirB> when I got to the quit menu, it doesn't give me the shutdown or restart options anymore! they just dissapeared!
[10:23] <CheeseGardener> serenity, why is this?
[10:23] <serenityUK> CheeseGardener, where somedrive name is /dev/sdb1 or similar
[10:23] <ozzloy> Xenoie: does that mean it's not my firewall?
[10:23] <Meyvn> nemo_work: I only tried it a few times to test a virtual machine, it's quite a cool OS
[10:23] <eisvogel> hallo?
[10:23] <roger_padactor> hello
[10:23] <Meyvn> nemo_work: especially the system stats on your desktop
[10:23] <N3432-X> how do i use Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[10:23] <N3432-X> on feisty fawn
[10:23] <bullgard4> What is meant with "8 points" when selecting a font size in Ubuntu > Gnome?
[10:23] <nemo_work> Meyvn: good idea to keep most of your files on the actual FAT32 drive instead of the virtual drive - reduces wear, speeds shutdown.
[10:23] <eisvogel> how are you, roger_padactor?
[10:23] <serenityUK> CheeseGardener, i think it was automounted as root and only root can umount or something
[10:23] <serenityUK> CheeseGardener, it's stoopid
[10:23] <pharos> can anyone help me install a genius webcam in feisty? :)
[10:23] <nemo_work> Meyvn: also increased aggressiveness of backup.tar.gz to eliminate stuff I didn't care about
[10:23] <CheeseGardener> Oh
[10:23] <CheeseGardener> so there is no way to change it?
[10:23] <CheeseGardener> or the only way to change it is to NOT plug it in
[10:23] <CheeseGardener> when it starts up?
[10:23] <Xenoie> ozzloy, I installed a firewall system on my ubuntu box last week and for some reason I had to reset my netgear router before I could get to any web traffic. I have no idea why, but after resetting that it worked
[10:23] <roger_padactor> good good. i've never sut up perl on ubuntu before and i want to make it so apache understand it and runs it any idea how to set that up
[10:23] <Xenoie> ozzloy, it was only web traffic that I was having issues
[10:23] <erUSUL> nemo_work: the same as in any app or Operating system out there the size of the font
[10:23] <Xenoie> ozzloy, I was on IRC, GAIM, IMAP mail, etc.
[10:23] <ozzloy> Xenoie: kk, i'll see what i can do about that.  i'm at work
[10:23] <Xenoie> just no web
[10:23] <serenityUK> CheeseGardener, not sure, but it's a work around until we can figure it out,, when I umount my drive the lights go out safely
[10:23] <jonyboy1000> how do i disable programs in the system panel?
[10:23] <ozzloy> Xenoie: yeah, same here.  sounds like stupid router hardware
[10:23] <Tamale> hello everyone!  Here's my problem.. why are my fonts in feisty so much worse looking than they were in edgy?  What can I do to fix this?

[10:23] <eldkraft> can someone here tell me how to get a decent resolution in CLI, whenever I do a ctrl+alt+f1 the resolution is just horribel.
[10:23] <Xenoie> ozzloy, you could try rebooting the system if you haven't already.
[10:23] <Piddy> Ok, who was helping me out 2 mins ago? Forgot the name.
[10:23] <Xenoie> ozzloy, start simple before you go unplugging your office lan router ;p

[10:23] <jerbear> are there any concerns with running KDE apps in gnome?
[10:23] <Piddy> SerenityUK.. No. I need to be able to quit Compiz without my pc screwing up.
[10:23] <CheshireViking> both of us got the wrong name
[10:23] <serenityUK> jerbear, they are slower to launch
[10:23] <Piddy> So... how do I quit Compiz?
[10:23] <imbecile> GDEBI is frozen on me .. how do i kill the process?
[10:23] <bullgard4> eldkraft: You will have to edit your grub config file. Ok?
[10:23] <Tamale> Piddy - metacity --replace *
[10:23] <Tamale> err
[10:23] <Tamale> Piddy: metacity --replace &
[10:23] <Meyvn> nemo_work: heh
[10:23] <Piddy> Tamale: But I have an emerald theme O.o
[10:23] <boldie> jerbear: nope
[10:23] <serenityUK> piddy now you have rebooted try metacity --replace
[10:23] <Tamale> it will replace it
[10:23] <Piddy> ok......
[10:23] <MrDexter> does anyone have any experience of installing hotcakes?
[10:23] <AmirB> when I got to the quit menu, it doesn't give me the shutdown or restart options anymore! they just dissapeared!
[10:23] <eldkraft> bullgard: the vga=0x0314 or vga=0x0317 ?
[10:23] <jerbear> i would probably use kde as my window manager, but firefox looks like crap in it
[10:23] <Piddy> hm... ok.
[10:23] <Tamale> work?
[10:23] <Piddy> Now.. how do I quit Compiz?
[10:23] <bullgard4> eldkraft: yes
[10:23] <imbecile> GDEBI is frozen on me .. how do i kill the process?
[10:23] <Tamale> you just did if you ran that command
[10:23] <Tamale> windows aren't wobbly anymore, are they?
[10:23] <Piddy> nope=D
[10:23] <eldkraft> ok great, wasn't sure. thank you bullgard4
[10:23] <Piddy> Nice, thanks!
[10:23] <Piddy> Now I'll try my game^^
[10:23] <Tamale> remember, compiz is just ONE window manager
[10:23] <creidieki> Hi, I had a quick question about reporting bugs with apport.
[10:23] <Mongoose|afk> does ubuntu work with nvidia 8600m gt's?
[10:23] <stefg> !nvidia
[10:23] <Mongoose|afk> !nvidia
[10:23] <imbecile> im stuck here :/ how do i force quit gdebi????????????????????????
[10:23] <creidieki> If I go to do a bug report with apport, and I find that there are already some similar-looking bugs in trackpad, should I still do the apport process?
[10:23] <Tamale> imbecile: to force quit anything, find its process id and kill it
[10:23] <Tamale> imbecile: ps -ef | grep <processname>
[10:23] <Tamale> imbecile:  kill <pid>
[10:23] <serenityUK> Mongoose|afk, yes i have an 8800GTS but I would use the drivers from the nvidia website because it is a new card
[10:23] <imbecile> thanks
[10:23] <creidieki> Are multiple crash reports useful to the developers?
[10:23] <stefg> Mongoose|afk: the bot is down... but, yes, nvidia cards do work with Linux quite good
[10:23] <AmirB> when I got to the quit menu, it doesn't give me the shutdown or restart options anymore! they just dissapeared! How do I fix this?!
[10:23] <boldie> #ubuntu-accessibility
[10:23] <nemo_work> Meyvn: btw if you reeeeally want something xtrlock to work, say for a kiosk or something, you need to disable ctr-alt-backspace, ctrl-alt-fX in xorg config, and magic sysrq in kernel and ctrl-alt-del in inittab :)
[10:23] <Tamale> AmirB: Just logout first
[10:23] <Tamale> AmirB: Otherwise, you can reboot with  "sudo reboot"  from a terminal and shutdown with "sudo shutdown -h now"
[10:23] <Meyvn> nemo_work: evil :)
[10:23] <Mongoose|afk> kk thanks guys. i ordered a laptop with an 8600 last week, but i just read on a forum that linux doesnt work well with it
[10:23] <AmirB> Tamale: I tried that, and when I clicked shutdown on the login/out screen it blanked the screen for a second and then returned to the login screen
[10:23] <Tamale> Amir:  If you really want buttons, you can make launchers that run those commands
[10:23] <desertc> Okay I have a question - In GNOME Rhythmbox, the application goes out to the 'Net and acquires the image of the album when it plays some songs.  What is that process called?  Also, I have purchased albums from Magnatune where they also give you the album cover, too.  Is there a way to get Rhythmbox to acquire this image and display it when these music files are played?
[10:23] <MasterShrek> Mongoose|afk, nvidia 8600?
[10:23] <Mongoose|afk> what is ubuntu alternate?
[10:23] <linux_> someone know how to run beryl \ compiz under nvidia ?
[10:23] <Mongoose|afk> yeah, 8600m gt
[10:23] <serenityUK> Mongoose|afk, nvidia drivers are the much better than ati, check out the linux section of the nvidia forums
[10:23] <Tamale> linux_: Join  #ubuntu-effects
[10:23] <MasterShrek> Mongoose|afk, it shold work ok, with the drivers from nvidia's site
[10:23] <linux_> Tamale , they never answer :(
[10:23] <serenityUK> hi linux_ did you try the game Nexuiz yet?
[10:23] <Tamale> linux_: you'll get much better luck in there than here.
[10:23] <CheshireViking> !alternate | Mongoose|afk
[10:23] <ubotu> Mongoose|afk: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[10:23] <Meyvn> desertc: rhythymbox is kinda weak in that apartment, if I play "Cafe Del Mar Vol. 09" I get an image of "Disney Club Vol. 9"
[10:23] <desertc> Meyvn: rofl
[10:23] <Mongoose|afk> yeah i have several desktop cd's. but again, the forum that's talking about problems with the 8600m gt is suggesting to use alternate
[10:23] <linux_> hi serenityUK , i have reinstall ubuntu and now i have nvidia driver that work fine i will try it now
[10:23] <desertc> Meyvn: Do you know what that feature is called so I can research it?
[10:23] <Tamale> hello everyone!  Here's my problem.. why are my fonts in feisty so much worse looking than they were in edgy?  What can I do to fix this?

[10:23] <Meyvn> desertc: just a sec, lemme see
[10:23] <linux_> Tamale , i really have read these and many more but it dont work
[10:24] <linux_> serenityUK , this is counter strike 1.6 style game ?
[10:24] <stefg> Mongoose|afk: tat means it's not autodetected, and maybe you will have to run some lines on the console to get it going. but nothing to be scared too much about
[10:24] <AmirB> Tamale: any suggestions?
[10:24] <Kohvihoor> i'm running dapper
[10:24] <Kohvihoor> and i compiled myself python 2.51
[10:24] <Kohvihoor> 2.5.1*
[10:24] <Tamale> AmirB: Did you try making launchers with the commands I suggested?
[10:24] <Kohvihoor> and now cedega does not work. : \
[10:24] <Sevenhill> hi there . How can i jail a user for ssh ? i mean i wantto make the user couldn't walk anywhere except its home dir
[10:24] <serenityUK> hi linux_ no it's like quake but better graphics..  free multiplayer online deathmatch and team games
[10:24] <boldie> just a tip, if you want your multimedia keyboard keys to work with amarok, kaffeine and 15 more apps check out http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/ReMoot?content=63140
[10:24] <Kohvihoor> nor do any of the pygtk apps
[10:25] <Kohvihoor> how do i remove that compiled python?
[10:25] <bauer> try to install python 2.4.4 and get "INFO: Can't locate Tcl/Tk libs and/or headers" how do i get Tcl/Tk libs and or headers
[10:25] <AmirB> Tamale: what commands did you suggest (sorry, I might have missed them)
[10:25] <linux_> serenityUK , will try it now
[10:25] <Tamale> AmirB:   sudo reboot and sudo shutdown -h now
[10:25] <Thatguy> I crashed my xserver upon reboot after a failed dvd burn that left my drive temporarily unusable. Are the two problems connected? How do I fix it so I have a GUI again?
[10:25] <Meyvn> desertc: can't find anything about that I'm afraid, only thing I discovered it that F11 is "Party Mode"
[10:25] <Sevenhill> hi there . How can i jail a user for ssh ? i mean i wantto make the user couldn't walk anywhere except its home dir. How can i do that ?
[10:25] <serenityUK> linux_ make sure you play multiplayer, it is all about online gaming against other people
[10:25] <boldie> Sevenhill: just a minute
[10:26] <adoul90> !arabic
[10:26] <ubotu> For the Arabic language or Saudi Arabia you are invited to join     #ubuntu-sa
[10:26] <AmirB> Tamale: ah, yes, I've been using those commands to shutdown my computer since the problem started but I would really like to get it back to normal if I can...
[10:26] <boldie> Sevenhill: http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/howtos_ssh_only.html
[10:28] <zxguitar> ok, este....... ya lo solucione
[10:28] <desertc> Meyvn: I'm always down for a party.  Thanks for the invitation!!
[10:28] <zxguitar> con el autostart
[10:28] <Thatguy> I crashed my xserver upon reboot after a failed dvd burn that left my drive temporarily unusable. Are the two problems connected? How do I fix it so I have a GUI again?
[10:28] <Tamale> AmirB: Just make custom launchers that run those commands... then you'll have one-click shutdown and reboot buttons again
[10:28] <Meyvn> desertc: ;)
[10:28] <serenityUK> Tamale AmirB you can also use sudo halt, instead of sudo shutdown -h now
[10:28] <nemo_work> Meyvn: http://m8y.org/xtrlock (7.4K) is pretty much just commenting stuff out in http://m8y.org/tmp/xtrlock.c - oh, and you need to set password in shadow and suid xtrlock if you use it in DSL.  And of course make sure shadow is persisted in backup.tar.gz
[10:28] <linux_> serenityUK , cant play vs BOTS ?
[10:28] <AviAtriX> yey i finaly instaled ubuntu
[10:28] <AviAtriX> xD
[10:28] <nemo_work> oh well. back to hunting for flash drive linux distros
[10:28] <Thatguy> any help please?
[10:28] <serenityUK> linux_, yes but it is more fun to kill real people lol
[10:28] <nemo_work> pen drive linux seems best candidate so far
[10:28] <Meyvn> nemo_work: thanks, I'll check it out
[10:28] <Tamale> nemo_work: look up DSM
[10:28] <r-c> could someone tell me what the difference is between gnome and kde?
[10:28] <Tamale> err  DSL
[10:28] <roger_padactor> how do i setup a cgi dir?
[10:28] <nemo_work> it'd be nice if there's an ubuntu one, but will look around
[10:28] <linux_> serenityUK , yea as old cs player i know this
[10:28] <Truman_> Does camorama work with the v4l2 video driver?  Or is a webcam package with better compatibility?
[10:28] <nemo_work> Tamale: yeah, we were chatting about DSL :)
[10:28] <nemo_work> Tamale: I'm looking for something with more heft. DSL is awesome, but wanted something more like a full desktop
[10:28] <adoul90> guyz does anyone know how can we type arabic in ubuntu?
[10:28] <nemo_work> Tamale: something for a flash drive with gigabytes of space, but still with wear optimisations
[10:29] <desertc> adoul90: Oh yeah, you'll find a lot of functionality for that in Ubuntu
[10:29] <AmirB> Tamale: but the problem also happens if Ubuntu needs to restart for updates, and if I forget that it is problematic and accidentaly hit restart it is a pain to have to log back in to restart manually...if you know of any way to fix or diagnose the problem, maybe some registry file it would be really great
[10:29] <Thatguy> How do I fix my Xserver after it crashed?
[10:29] <nemo_work> adoul90: you mean using an arabic keyboard?
[10:29] <adoul90> ya
[10:29] <joaoamaro> hello
[10:29] <azrael> hello
[10:29] <nemo_work> adoul90: isn't that an option when you install ubuntu? pick your keyboard?
[10:29] <Meyvn> nemo_work: I suck at C :)
[10:29] <nemo_work> adoul90: should also set locale settings no?
[10:29] <desertc> adoul90: Canonical went way out of their way to make sure Ubuntu was usable for different languages, including right to left typing and text display.
[10:29] <serenityUK> nemo_work, have you tried Zenwalk? it is XFCE based on slack but more  friendly and pretty, like ubuntu it has only 1 app per task
[10:29] <adoul90> not just the keyboard no i mean the language
[10:29] <stefg> Thatguy: define 'crashed'
[10:30] <kstr> is there a way to easily change the partition wich is used as swap?
[10:30] <nemo_work> Meyvn: yeah, is why I have a prebuilt variant of xtrlock.  I mean, if you trust me not to be evil. can disassemble it, is only a few dozen instructions from the xtrlock folks :)
[10:30] <nemo_work> adoul90: huh. you'd think it'd set the locale settings
[10:30] <CheeseGardener> If I wanted to check my external drive, I would type, once unmounted, fsck /dev/sdb1 right???????
[10:30] <stefg> kstr: just change it in /etc/fstab
[10:30] <Tamale> AmirB: Linux doesn't have a 'registry' :)
[10:30] <k2o3> i have a problem
[10:30] <k2o3> my computer has windows vista
[10:30] <adoul90> how can i change the language to arabic?
[10:30] <desertc> adoul90: If you can, please recommend to the Arab online community to help with Free Software efforts.  I feel like some parts of the world aren't getting onboard with the Linux revolution.
[10:30] <nemo_work> serenityUK: Zenwalk is pen drive optimised?
[10:30] <k2o3> i have never installed ubuntu in this computer
[10:30] <k2o3> and i wanted to install
[10:31] <k2o3> so i put the cd
[10:31] <nemo_work> adoul90: system->administration->language support ?
[10:31] <adoul90> k thx
[10:31] <serenityUK> nemo_work, no but it is meant for slower machines so it is quite small, but still a full desktop not like DSL
[10:31] <Thatguy> stefg, I rebooted after minor difficultys with my dvd burner and was greeted with a message about "Failed to start the xserver"
[10:31] <k2o3> and i choose the option start or install ubuntu
[10:31] <nemo_work> adoul90: at least, that's where it is on this install CD I'm playing with
[10:31] <k2o3> so far so good
[10:31] <k2o3> after this
[10:31] <nemo_work> serenityUK: meh. looking for exact opposite here :)
[10:31] <kstr> tnx stefg
[10:31] <nemo_work> serenityUK: a distro with more junk in it :)
[10:31] <k2o3> i have a x server error
[10:31] <nemo_work> serenityUK: and the hardware probing *is* important
[10:31] <k2o3> anyone who can help me?
[10:31] <Meyvn> nemo_work: heh, well it starts to make sense after I stare at it for a while ;)

[10:32] <nemo_work> Meyvn: tried to convince the DSL dudes to add it - felt it'd only add less than a KiB compressed, but they weren't interested
[10:32] <nemo_work> Meyvn: me, I need to lock my DSL all the time

[10:33] <k2o3> can anyone help me please?
[10:33] <Meyvn> nemo_work: cheerio
[10:33] <Truman_> digbuntu: I think it wanted you to apt-get install -f while reconstructor was still instaled
[10:33] <serenityUK> sorry CheeseGardener I can't send private messages because I haven;t registerered my nick
[10:34] <digbuntu> hrmm what to do now
[10:34] <CheeseGardener> ok
[10:34] <stefg> Thatguy: so see the dtailed output. even if you don't understand everything that gives a clue
[10:34] <CheeseGardener> but do you know if that is how I would run a disk check on the external?
[10:34] <Truman_> digbuntu: you could try sudo apt-get install reconstructor, and then the -f thing after that, if it gives you the same error

[10:35] <Thatguy> stefg, ok, let me reboot it
[10:35] <xerawx_> nemo_work: there must be some kind of like "ultimate portable" distro, optimized for running off a pen drive.. if there is i don't know of it though :\

[10:36] <k2o3> hope someone can help me
[10:36] <Truman_> digbuntu: Weird.  Did anything change in between when you apt-got it the first time and when it started giving you this other message?
[10:36] <digbuntu> k2o3 sorry to hear you ever had to use vista( AKA WinME v2)
[10:37] <Thatguy> stefg, ok now what am I looking for in here?
[10:37] <k2o3> lol
[10:37] <serenityUK> i think it is a root thing,  some drives are mounted only by root, some have flags like cd can be unmounted by users
[10:37] <CheeseGardener> how long does a forced fsck take???
[10:37] <Tamale> desertc: I wish it was that simple
[10:37] <k2o3> digbuntu i have no choice. i cant install ubuntu
[10:38] <digbuntu> Truman_ I didnt even know reconstructor was on my machine, then I tried to install the deb without thinking about apt, after visiting the reconstructor site.
[10:38] <stefg> Thatguy: anything that looks like an error .... use the force, Luke :-)
[10:38] <Tamale> desertc: Plus, the only promising link on that page is broken
[10:38] <k2o3> so can anyone help?
[10:38] <digbuntu> it barked about needeing dependencies of other apps
[10:38] <digbuntu> nothing has worked
[10:38] <Thatguy> stefg, (EE) VESA (0) : No matching modes
[10:38] <digbuntu> I may have fubared it
[10:38] <AncientRelic> anyone know a good guide for using LVM on Unbuntu?
[10:40] <desertc> Tamale: What are we talking about again?
[10:40] <Truman_> digbuntu: You could try just getting this package .. http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=33&func=select&id=5
[10:40] <Tamale> desertc: My fonts look like crap in feisty
[10:40] <Thatguy> stefg, (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
[10:40] <MTecknology> anybody in here ever used Xen before?
[10:40] <digbuntu> i did
[10:40] <Tamale> desertc: but with the exact same settings they were fine in edgy
[10:40] <stefg> Thatguy: ok... that gives me an idea. what video card do you have?
[10:40] <digbuntu> and did dpkg -i package
[10:40] <digbuntu> then it barked about needing soo many files
[10:40] <digbuntu> it never installeed
[10:40] <desertc> Tamale: I don't know any more information about the subject.
[10:40] <CheeseGardener> how long, about, would it take to check a 250 gb external harddrive with fsck -f ????????????
[10:40] <Tamale> desertc: I can't seem to find anyone.. but I can't believe I'm alone with this problem
[10:40] <digbuntu> CheeseGardener Awhile
[10:40] <Thatguy> onboard video, hold on I'll look it up. Its on a Abit IP-95 mobo
[10:40] <AncientRelic> MTecknology: I've tried it too, but I went to VMware server afor the same reasons as digbuntu
[10:40] <Tamale> desertc: Every computer I've installed feisty on has blurry fonts
[10:40] <Truman_> digbuntu: or maybe get the tar and compile it?
[10:40] <digbuntu> ya
[10:40] <digbuntu> let me try
[10:40] <digbuntu> bbl
[10:40] <MTecknology> AncientRelic, do you know how to install the management interface?
[10:40] <k2o3> please help
[10:40] <k2o3> =/
[10:41] <carlos_> Is there a program the can shrink a lot of pictures at once?
[10:41] <AncientRelic> MTecknology, nope this is a new experiment for me :)
[10:41] <Tamale> k2o3: gotta post your problem
[10:41] <CheeseGardener> dig, how long is a "awhile" ????
[10:41] <MTecknology> AncientRelic, alrighty... I know the interface comes on the media, but idk how to install it....
[10:41] <k2o3> already did it twice
[10:41] <k2o3> here it goes
[10:43] <k2o3> in one line
[10:43] <AncientRelic> MT, I'm guessing its probably not much more than searching Synaptic for it
[10:43] <k2o3> i want to install ubuntu. so i put the cd in the cd tray and selected start or install ubuntu. the bar apperas and after that it says that it was impossible to load the xserver
[10:43] <CheeseGardener> what is e2fsck?????
[10:43] <k2o3> never installed ubuntu in this computer
[10:43] <Thatguy> stefg, sorry still looking
[10:43] <AncientRelic> K2o3, try rebooting and selecting the "safe graphics" option
[10:43] <k2o3> hum
[10:43] <k2o3> ok ill try
[10:43] <k2o3> brb
[10:43] <AncientRelic> ok
[10:43] <k2o3> thanks
[10:43] <Tamale> wait
[10:43] <AncientRelic> np
[10:43] <Tamale> ha
[10:43] <Tamale> he probably has ati
[10:43] <AncientRelic> true
[10:43] <stefg> Thatguy: to make a long story short: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[10:47] <Tamale> you can't install feisty from the normal disc on ati
[10:47] <AncientRelic> you need an alternate install?
[10:47] <AncientRelic> well i'm guessing he'll be back soon then :P
[10:47] <Tamale> yah lol
[10:47] <AncientRelic> but what I said wasn't necessarily wrong either
[10:47] <CheeseGardener> what is e2fsck
[10:47] <CheeseGardener> ????
[10:47] <Tamale> nop
[10:47] <Tamale> e
[10:47] <slestak> !e2fsck > CheeseGardener
[10:47] <carlos_> How can I shrink a bunch of images at once?
[10:47] <slestak> !e2fsck | CheeseGardener
[10:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about e2fsck - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:47] <lee_> Do bootup scripts usually reside in /etc/rc0.d in ubuntu?
[10:47] <CheeseGardener> it doesn't know anything
[10:47] <slestak> CheeseGardener: its basically a disk sanity chekcer for linux filesystem
[10:47] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, it checks linux filesystems ext2 and ext3 for errors and such
[10:47] <slestak> carlos_: imagemagick and bash
[10:47] <Lunis> where are the icons for epiphany and thunar? they're not in /usr/share/pixmaps
[10:47] <CheeseGardener> is it like fsck?
[10:47] <CheeseGardener> what is the difference?
[10:47] <digbuntu> got it running now Truman_
[10:47] <digbuntu> thx
[10:47] <digbuntu> for the tip
[10:47] <digbuntu> or advice rather
[10:47] <Truman_> digbuntu: no problem, glad it worked
[10:47] <Get_A_Fix> G'day, if a person wanted to sell their own goods from a website, what software would that person want to investigate?
[10:47] <lee_> ChesseGardener: cfdisk is the updated version of fdisk  btw
[10:47] <CheeseGardener> digbuntu, how long would a fsck take, about, on a 250 gb USB2.0 external drive??????
[10:47] <AncientRelic> Get_A_Fix www.oscommerce.com
[10:47] <Thatguy> stefg, ok done, so should I reboot now?
[10:47] <CheeseGardener> is it better?
[10:48] <slestak> CheeseGardener: i like if better, different curses interface
[10:48] <stefg> Thatguy: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart should do
[10:48] <slestak> CheeseGardener: time it takes is hard to estimate, depends on how much data, etc.
[10:48] <CheeseGardener> zero data
[10:48] <Get_A_Fix> AncientRelic: Thanks muchly.
[10:48] <CheeseGardener> it's a fresh reformat
[10:48] <CheeseGardener> wait... no
[10:48] <AncientRelic> np, GAF
[10:48] <CheeseGardener> it has 100gb of data
[10:49] <Thatguy> stefg, oh.. my bad, I rebooted
[10:49] <CheeseGardener> I copied things to it over a fresh install
[10:49] <stefg> Thatguy: doesn't matter
[10:49] <mndctrl> hi guys... I'm having some trouble with vsftp and virtual users using pam_pwdfile...
[10:49] <linux_> ubuntu-effect

[10:50] <k2o3> the same error
[10:50] <Thatguy> same prob and I still don't know how it happened
[10:50] <k2o3> in the x server
[10:50] <slestak> carlos_: yes
[10:50] <digbuntu> CheeseGardener depends on your hardware
[10:50] <CheeseGardener> It's a western digital mybook
[10:50] <CheeseGardener> USB2.0
[10:50] <digbuntu> but I would say at least 45 mins
[10:50] <CheeseGardener> 250 gb
[10:50] <AncientRelic> K2O3, ATI video card?
[10:50] <k2o3> yes

[10:50] <k2o3> x1300
[10:50] <k2o3> crossfire
[10:50] <stefg> Thatguy: my idea is that you're using the vesa driver, but have configured some non vesa reso
[10:50] <AncientRelic> stock CD won't work
[10:50] <k2o3> 2 x1300 crossfire
[10:50] <AncientRelic> you need an alternate install disc

[10:52] <Thatguy> stefg, ok I'll check it out
[10:52] <variant> CheeseGardener: yeah, let it run
[10:52] <carlos_> slestak, Sorry I'm a newbie. I don't understand what that means.
[10:52] <Sasuke> i have a question i just got a new labtop and it came with windows vista i have tryed to install a few outher linuxs but they didn't work (the boot loder) will ubuntu work i dont what to install it only to find out that somthing messed up
[10:52] <Tamale> k2o3:  sorry man, i tried to stop you
[10:56] <Cha1nsaw> Batelje>i think english is the main language though
[10:56] <Tamale> k2o3: i had to get that disc too
[10:56] <k2o3> hun?
[10:56] <AncientRelic> k2o3 this is why I have a NV video card :P
[10:56] <LadyNikon> Sasuke: how did you set up your bootloader?
[10:56] <Pie> I have 2 hard drives, one with XP and one with Ubuntu on it, what do I have to change to GRUB to have it recognize XP?
[10:56] <Batelje> ok i try
[10:56] <Tamale> k2o3: you have to do a few command line things before you'll see a desktop
[10:56] <slestak> carlos_: that line, when run in a dir of jpgs will shrink them all by 50%
[10:56] <k2o3> AncientRelic but i was offered this pc
[10:56] <Pie> with Ubuntu as the master drive
[10:56] <jrib> !nl | Batelje
[10:56] <ubotu> Batelje: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl
[10:56] <Tamale> k2o3: lemme find a link for you
[10:56] <k2o3> Tamale no i hanvet
[10:56] <AncientRelic> ok, you never turn down free stuff ;)
[10:56] <variant> CheeseGardener: you should have started it with the "time" command (time fsck /dev/whatever) it would have told you how long it took to run then you could have told anyone else that asked a simmilar question :)
[10:56] <Batelje> ow oke thnx
[10:56] <k2o3> AncientRelic indeed
[10:56] <CheeseGardener> ok
[10:56] <CheeseGardener> I pressed enter
[10:56] <CheeseGardener> but it didn't do anything.
[10:56] <k2o3> Tamale i could do lots of commands but it wouldnt save them
[10:56] <variant> CheeseGardener: it wouldn't
[10:56] <k2o3> ubuntu isnt installed
[10:56] <r0b-> does Opera use more ram them FireFox
[10:56] <r0b-> or less?
[10:56] <Sasuke> i didn't i never had to before when it install it says it found another os but when it boot i can only find linux on the os list
[10:56] <AmirB> where is the code for shutting down and restarting the computer kept in ubuntu, because they have suddenly disappeared from my quit menu and I want to restore them!
[10:56] <azrael> anyone ever installed Rosegarden, need help
[10:56] <CheeseGardener> ok
[10:56] <CheeseGardener> so I just have to wait it out
[10:56] <CheeseGardener> I guess
[10:56] <Sasuke> and no i did format the hole drive
[10:56] <AncientRelic> k2o3 I've got a PM G3 that's going to be given a Linux overhaul soon, another freebie :P
[10:56] <variant> CheeseGardener: what file system is it?
[10:56] <CheeseGardener> EXT3
[10:56] <eurisko> hi
[10:56] <Pie> I have 2 hard drives, one with XP and one with Ubuntu on it, what do I have to change to GRUB to have it recognize XP? Ubuntu HD as the master drive
[10:56] <CheeseGardener> EXT3, 100 gb/250 gb used, USB 2.0
[10:56] <k2o3> lol
[10:56] <variant> CheeseGardener: then run fsck with the -C option, that will display the progress indicator
[10:56] <CheeseGardener> I can't do that
[10:56] <k2o3> AncientRelic the alternate cd is where we download the normal cd?
[10:56] <CheeseGardener> it is started already.
[10:56] <AncientRelic> I think so
[10:56] <variant> CheeseGardener: if it's not been running long then your not loosing much
[10:56] <k2o3> download Start Download
[10:56] <k2o3> Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer.
[10:56] <stefg> !grub | pie
[10:56] <k2o3> i think it is this

[10:56] <k2o3> and then what?
[10:56] <AncientRelic> and then you get to install the ATI drivers from the command line :)
[10:56] <k2o3> will it install?
[10:56] <Truman_> Does Camorama work for v4l2 video driver, or is there an alternate package with better compatibility?  Alternately; Does anyone know how to get a built in isight camera to work on macbook, apart from in Ekiga?
[10:56] <Pie> Thanks
[10:56] <k2o3> damn
[10:56] <wepeel> hi all. I disklike the Solaris platform, but CDE has a nice feature that I use all the time at work and would like to have at home. If I have a directory window open, I can open a terminal window from the menu already in the directory I'm browsing. Can I implement this in Ubuntu?

[10:56] <variant> CheeseGardener: btw, fsck won't fix any errors it finds by default. you have to enable that afaik
[10:57] <CheeseGardener> right
[10:57] <CheeseGardener> but it will ask me
[10:57] <stefg> wepeel: there's the nautilus script extensions. it's got a 'open terminal here'

[11:15] <hsatera> skype is tricking the windows computer
[11:15] <AncientRelic> atdejong: NTFS drives?
[11:15] <Vietnow> I figuired it would be better then pasting it all in here
[11:15] <Pelo> atdejong,  are they ntfs drives ?
[11:15] <CheeseGardener> can I use "defrag" with an EXT3 drive or only EXT2????
[11:15] <Pelo> Vietnow,  donT' paste just tell me the short version
[11:15] <atdejong> yeah, and i dont mind formatting them, there is no data there
[11:15] <AncientRelic> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[11:15] <XLV> CheeseGardener, ext2/3 doesnt need defragging
[11:15] <AncientRelic> will let you load NTFS on Linux
[11:15] <marcin_> thank you  it's work
[11:15] <CheeseGardener> it says this:
[11:15] <CheeseGardener> ExHD: 22431/30539776 files (1.8% non-contiguous), 18281460/61049000 blocks
[11:15] <Vietnow> I'm wondering how I can find out if my drivers for my dial up modem are supported in ubuntu, I'm planning on switching to ubuntu today
[11:15] <CheeseGardener> will that 1.8 percent go down?
[11:15] <Thatguy> stefg, ell my mobo box says its a Integrated VIA UniChrome Pro 2D/3D Graphics
[11:15] <AncientRelic> Vietnow, internal modem?
[11:15] <Thatguy> stefg, I know that doesn't help you at all
[11:15] <Vietnow> I've read the dialupmodem how-to and I cant make heads or tails of it

[11:15] <stefg> Thatguy: ok, so choose via as the driver
[11:15] <atdejong> thank you :)
[11:15] <Pelo> Vietnow, goto ,  menu > system > prefs > hardware info,  see if your modem is listed and what the devtree is for it

[11:15] <Pelo> Thatguy,  stop looking so helpless and ppl will stop trying to help you ;-)
[11:15] <yaustar> How do you uninstall a program binary? It was installed via script rather then apt-get.
[11:15] <MasterShrek> i dont like ubuntu lol, its too easy
[11:15] <CheeseGardener> if my disk check says this: ExHD: 22431/30539776 files (1.8% non-contiguous), 18281460/61049000 blocks... will the 1.8% go down or up in time?
[11:15] <desertc> Question: Anyone use GNOME XChat?  Does that software enable you to stop "enter" and "exit" messages in IRC ?  All these events make it hard for me to read this channel.
[11:15] <kitche> yaustar: if it was a bin file the program usually installs a uninstall program as well
[11:15] <Pelo> yaustar, check the site whrer you got the prog and see if they have uninstall instructions
[11:15] <AncientRelic> right now my workstation has 2 HDs, XP on Drive 1, Feisty on Drive 2
[11:15] <AncientRelic> GRUB is on the XP HD
[11:15] <Vietnow> I'm still currently in windows, can I do that on the live cd pelo ??
[11:15] <AncientRelic> but I want to remove that HD and go pure Linxu
[11:15] <AncientRelic> *linux
[11:15] <AncientRelic> any ideas?
[11:15] <yaustar> kitche: Is there a standard command for it?
[11:15] <Pelo> desertc,  rightclck the channel tab or name in the channel list and there should be a iten to check  hide veiw join/part
[11:15] <kitche> AncientRelic: just reinstall grub to the other hard drive
[11:15] <XLV> CheeseGardener, thats normal, i dont think with any defragment you will lower that
[11:15] <desertc> Pelo: Awesome - I'll set it up now
[11:15] <Pelo> marcin_,  I do not accept private msg , pllease talk to me in the channel
[11:15] <kitche> yaustar: depends on the program since some are <program>-uninstall
[11:16] <AncientRelic> kitche: from the Live CD?
[11:16] <nox-Hand> Does anyone remember what I am lacking in my xorg.con with my nVidia card if it says the nvidia kernel module was not found?
[11:16] <kitche> AncientRelic: well yes you just have to chroot into the feisty install and do sudo grub and reinstall it
[11:16] <wepeel> stefg, thanks for the help, I got exactly what I wanted installed
[11:16] <Thatguy> Pelo, you wanna take this outside?!? lol jk jk
[11:17] <kitche> nox-Hand: well xorg.conf has nothing to do witht he kernel module most likely your kernel can't find the nvidia module
[11:17] <Iceworm> ubuntu server (installed as lamp) won't let me access subdirectories under, /var/www/apache2-default   -- anyone know how this is supposed to work..  The /etc/apache2 directory also looks really alien..
[11:17] <Thatguy> stefg, ok restarting, we'll see wht happens
[11:17] <stefg> wepeel: np... still have a look at tilda :-)
[11:17] <Pelo> Vietnow, probably,   when you have your devtree fro the modem ,  goto  menu> system >`admin >`network ,   and click on the modem one , enter your info and the correct modem,  I don'T remember the terminal command to start /stop the connection, you'll hve to check on that guide you don'T like
[11:17] <phem> Does anyone know if installing  ubuntu+grub interfere with the HP quickstart / Recovery Partition?
[11:17] <wepeel> stefg, what's tilda?
[11:17] <AncientRelic> kitche: don't suppose you can be a bit more detailed with the help :P
[11:17] <stefg> !info tilda
[11:17] <ubotu> tilda: Linux terminal which behaves like terminals in shooter games. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.09.4-0ubuntu2 (feisty), package size 37 kB, installed size 180 kB
[11:17] <nox-Hand> kitche: How would I fix that?
[11:17] <CheeseGardener> will EXT3 ever fragment?
[11:18] <kitche> AncientRelic: well sure I can but ubotu has a nice little guide for doing it
[11:18] <kitche> !grub | AncientRelic

[11:18] <marcin_> i have same problem i just install the orginal drives for  radeon x1300 from ati and the max display set is 1024 na 768  how can i change it
[11:18] <kitche> nox-Hand: umm reinstall the kernel module
[11:18] <Pelo> CheeseGardener,  ext3 does not require to be defrag , it does fragment but at a very low rate and it gets managed much better so it never gets out of hand,  not like fat32 did
[11:19] <nox-Hand> kitche: I have no idea how :]  WHat package is it?
[11:19] <yaustar> kitche: oh, looks like synaptic picked it up, :)
[11:19] <MasterShrek> nox-Hand, nvidia-glx i believe
[11:19] <Pelo> adoul90,  idealy get a deb file, if you dl a tar.gz.  look at the instrutions here http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[11:19] <CheeseGardener> oh does the fragmentation in EXT3 ever go down instead of upwards????????
[11:19] <adoul90> Pelo: thx
[11:19] <yaustar> Can any recommend a good C++ IDE?
[11:20] <Pelo> CheeseGardener, it gets managed as needed,
[11:20] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, you dont have to worry about it
[11:20] <AncientRelic> yaustar: eclipse?
[11:20] <albert> hey... does anyone know a good html editor for ubuntu?
[11:20] <nox-Hand> MasterShrek: Will ty -think I have done that one already twice
[11:20] <CheeseGardener> ok... do I ever have to use "defrag" to defrag it?
[11:20] <nox-Hand> try*

[11:20] <Pelo> albert,  nvu
[11:20] <marcin_> quanta +

[11:20] <Pelo> CheeseGardener,  never, and there is none anyway
[11:20] <Heady> hello, does anybody know how to make autocopy work in gaim ??
[11:20] <yaustar> AncientRelic: Too resource hungry, plus I don't like the C++ plugin :(
[11:20] <MasterShrek> nox-Hand, try installing nvidia driver from their website
[11:22] <AncientRelic> vi is too intense for me ;)
[11:22] <Heady> or how to add autocopy funcion to gaim ?
[11:22] <albert> i'm looking for a WYSWYG editor
[11:22] <yaustar> albert: Scite?
[11:22] <Pelo> CheeseGardener,  listen carefully,  do not try to defrag ext3 or ext3 , you don'T need it
[11:22] <nox-Hand> MasterShrek: will try
[11:22] <Jared> nox-Hand, have you tried the nvidia-glx-new driver for nvidia?
[11:22] <CheeseGardener> ok
[11:22] <CheeseGardener> but EXT3 does fragment?
[11:22] <marcin_> i am afraid albert but i don't know any good
[11:22] <CheeseGardener> or does it defrag itself?
[11:22] <MasterShrek> CheeseGardener, not enough to have to worry about it EVER
[11:22] <Pelo> ...
[11:22] <yaustar> albert: try NVU
[11:22] <albert> ok...
[11:22] <MasterShrek> stop fcking asking now, you dont need to defrag an ext partition
[11:22] <iDN> lately i m having issues with my mouse. its getting freezing for a short while at a random time, and two secs later get back working.

[11:25] <speeb> :-)  No typo, just laziness.
[11:26] <Pelo> speeb, donT' you mean labiness ?
[11:26] <Heady> MasterShrek: wow, is it that simple ??
[11:26] <MasterShrek> well if the new one doesnt work, apt-get remove it and apt-get install the other one
[11:27] <iDN> Pelo: not that im aware of. i did installed a few new softwares using installers, and i have low free space in my root. is this related to my question?
[11:27] <desertc_> MasterShrek: When I right-click the channel name to not show join/part messages, I get the following options: (Save Transcript), (Leave), (Close), (Join), (Auto Join), (Find), (Bans)
[11:27] <desertc_> MasterShrek: I do not see any option to not show join/part messages.

[11:27] <nox-Hand> Jared: Yes, I have. I gotta go school, thanks for help though
[11:27] <iDN> Pelo: i have almost 450 mb free in my root
[11:27] <MasterShrek> u must have a different version of xchat
[11:27] <Pelo> iDN,  I wouldn'T think so,  usb mouse ? that might be related but I can'T realy tell,  I'm just going through the usual sources of trouble with you,
[11:27] <MasterShrek> desertc_, im running 2.80
[11:27] <desertc_> MasterShrek: I am using the version in Synaptic.  Okay, I will keep looking at this issue.
[11:27] <desertc_> MasterShrek: I am using XChat-GNOME 0.16
[11:34] <Pelo> desertc_, consider using xchat plain, much better Imo
[11:34] <iDN> Pelo: ok, thanks. usb mouse. tried to clean the wholes from the outside, didnt open the computer package.
[11:34] <desertc_> pelo: What package is xchat plain?
[11:34] <tumble> hi folk
[11:34] <sn0n> is there a channel specifically for Gutsy ?
[11:34] <Pelo> desertc_, sudo apt-get install xchat
[11:34] <adoul90> how do i know if ive got the compilar tools installed?
[11:39] <gOcOOl> i'm unable to install vim-gtk on my edgy system, i keep getting:
[11:39] <MasterShrek> sn0n, #ubuntu+1
[11:39] <gOcOOl> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[11:39] <gOcOOl>   vim-gtk: Depends: vim-gui-common (= 1:7.0-035+1ubuntu5) but 1:7.0-035+1ubuntu5.1 is to be installed
[11:39] <desertc_> pelo: That's what I did.
[11:39] <gOcOOl> any clues what's wrong here?
[11:39] <Pelo> gOcOOl,  you need to install the package mentionned , try using synaptic,
[11:39] <eldkraft> g0c00l: you did a apt-get?
[11:39] <Rockinghorse>  Cool, i just overheated my computer: first time :)
[11:39] <desertc_> pelo: Oh, no, I installed xchat-gnome
[11:39] <tumble> is there a way to find the root password?, as i need it and dont remember specifying one on install.
[11:39] <gOcOOl> Pelo: I did, i'm getting the error via synaptic itself and i do have vim-gui-common installed
[11:39] <Pelo> desertc_,  you can uninstall xchat gnome easily,  sudo apt-get remove xchat-gnome
[11:39] <desertc_> I'll give it a shot
[11:39] <iDN> Pelo: where can i get a clean defaulted xorg.conf? at least the part related to the mouse. maybe this will help.
[11:39] <iDN> i dont want to mess too much with those files, specially  after i got my Hebrew support working.
[11:39] <Pelo> gOcOOl,  you have the wrong version of vim-gui,   in synaptic,  check the version you have compared to the version they want, it they want an older one,   check in the properties of the package and you can install the older one if available,  ir you need a new one you 'll need to google for it and compile it
[11:39] <eldkraft> g0c00l: try 'sudo apt-get install vim-gtk'
[11:39] <gOcOOl> eldkraft: i did that too, still the same error
[11:39] <Pelo> iDN,  if you didn'T edit xorg.conf,  donT' worry about it , and DO NOT GO messing with it now,  it is not the problem
[11:39] <iDN> Pelo: ight. got you.
[11:39] <desertc> MasterShrek, Pelo: Thanks for your help - I have xchat (plain) working with the settings as expected.
[11:39] <subpacket> Question: I've setup a MythTV Box w/Feisty and have a PVR-150 and BT878 capture cards installed.  The PVR-150 is experiencing "jumpy" video when recording TV.  The audio doesn't lose sync but the video seems to jump around the screen and is otherwise distorted.  My previous Ubuntu Edgy box didn't exhibit this kind of behaviour..

[11:43] <desertc> MasterShrek: I recommend going to another distro, maybe Debian or Gentoo, when you want to start doing things like that with Ubuntu.
[11:43] <Pelo> Ben_Cs, use the ones in the repos to make sure
[11:43] <subpacket> Pelo: Cool.. I'll take a look, thanks

[11:43] <Pelo> Ben_Cs,   try gnomebaker instead, same thing,  gnome based
[11:43] <subpacket> I have a feeling the issue is with the ivtv driver...
[11:43] <Ben_Cs> yaustar: i prefer geany for editing code. compiling in command line
[11:43] <iDN> Pelo: it usually occurs when i make big movement with the mouse, not every time i make big move. it also occurs in games, and when the computer is under pressure. is that do any good?
[11:43] <Pelo> iDN,  you can play around with the general mouse setings in menu > system > prefs > mouse
[11:43] <Ben_Cs> Pelo: will try

[11:43] <MasterShrek> mattgyver83_, edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and put the correct resolution in on the bottom
[11:43] <Heady> Pelo: will try :-D

[11:57] <drewby> Does ubuntu have a built in firewall?  I ask because I'm unsuccessful using sendmail through php on port 587.
[11:57] <adam0509> iptables
[11:57] <Paddy_EIRE> drewby: yes it does like all distros
[11:57] <adam0509> you can use front-end : firestarter
[11:57] <tobyr> Hey guys
[11:57] <Paddy_EIRE> drewby: firestarter is a good gui
[11:57] <adam0509> hey girls
[11:57] <adam0509> here we go ! :)
[11:57] <tobyr> I've got a problem installing Pidgin 2.1.0, is this the right place to ask?
[11:58] <adam0509> maybe
[11:58] <adam0509> trying to compile or have getting a deb somewhere ?
[11:58] <drewby> Paddy_EIRE, adam0509, thanks
[11:58] <davetarmac> can anyone help with my tarball problem?
[11:58] <cma_> \join #ubuntu-de
[11:58] <tobyr> I've compiled, and done 'make' but when I type 'pidgin' in the terminal I get command not found
[11:58] <Paddy_EIRE> drewby: apparently the iptables command in the cli gives far greater control
[11:58] <|thunder> tobyr; now 'sudo make install';
[11:58] <drewby> Paddy_EIRE: Good to know.  I'll be back if I have any problems..
[11:59] <tobyr> oh
[11:59] <|thunder> any know if pidgin supports myspaceIM ?
[11:59] <txoof> what permissions does apache2 run under with Fiesty?  It apears from /var/www/ that everything is owned by root, but this doesn't seem like a great idea.
[11:59] <tobyr> I think I might have done that
[11:59] <drewby> /exit
[11:59] <tobyr> I'll come back when this has done
[11:59] <kitche> txoof: it's run with apache
[11:59] <gordonjcp> txoof: why isn't that a good idea?
[11:59] <drewby> /qiot
[11:59] <AlexUbuntuBcn> tobyr, you can download a pidgin in deb package from the www.getbed.net
[11:59] <MasterShrek> tobyr, theres a repo out there with the newer version in it
[11:59] <kitche> txoof: and it is a good idea
[11:59] <gordonjcp> txoof: hint - what are the *read* permissions?
[11:59] <frostburn> it's better to sandbox apache as it's own group/user
[11:59] <tobyr> Ah ok, thanks:D
[12:00] <tobyr> Is it not on Synaptic?
[12:00] <marcin__> which the gnutella klient is the best ?
[12:00] <frostburn> has anyone had luck with using network-manager-openvpn ?
[12:00] <adam0509> getdeb packages aren't supported by universe community so be carefull...
[12:00] <txoof> gordonjcp: o+r g+r  -
[12:00] <tobyr> Ok, thanks, I'll try this make install
[12:00] <adam0509> I never had problems with getdeb but some user experienced some crahs
[12:00] <zitner> Random, but does ANYONE know how to make Beryl start up automatically when Ubuntu starts?
[12:00] <gordonjcp> txoof: right, so who is allowed to read the webroot?
[12:00] <kitche> zitner: add it to gnome-session Autostart list
[12:00] <tobyr> Zitner
[12:00] <MasterShrek> zitner, go system > preferences > session
[12:01] <tobyr> Preferences > Session
[12:01] <frostburn> zitner, goto system>pref>sessions
