[08:37] <korovyov> hey im having trouble isntalling xubuntu....when the shell is loading before bootup it flashes that there is a bug
[08:38] <korovyov> and some sort of communication is blocked
[08:38] <korovyov> i kno its not the cd cuz it works on other comps fine
[08:38] <korovyov> i have windows xp with tuns of spy and ad ware
[08:39] <korovyov> so when i boot none of the panels appear....
[08:39] <korovyov> any suggestions?
[08:39] <korovyov> haha does that even make sense?
[08:50] <korovyov> any1/
[11:39] <cjae_> ok compiz is installed by default in ubuntu fiesty but is true to xubuntu? and how is it enabled or is it enabled the same as in normal ubuntu?
[11:40] <cjae_> using nvidia drivers 9xxx
[12:30] <vistakiller> you must install i think compiz
[12:30] <vistakiller> from your package manager
[01:39] <Pumpernickel> !test
[01:39] <ubotu> failed
[02:02] <Ben_Cs> hello
[02:03] <Ben_Cs> i want to install a prog from cd but the permisions of the file are: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 81901 2007-04-21 08:47 MathInstaller
[02:03] <Ben_Cs> so how can i run that prog?
[02:05] <TheSheep> Ben_Cs: just type the name with path in terminal
[02:05] <TheSheep> Ben_Cs: eg. /media/cdrom/MathInstaller
[02:05] <Ben_Cs> sudo ./MathInstaller gives: sudo: unable to execute ./MathInstaller: Permission denied
[02:06] <TheSheep> Ben_Cs: what's the firs line of that file?
[02:06] <Ben_Cs> is it important the fukk path?
[02:06] <Ben_Cs> one sec
[02:06] <TheSheep> Ben_Cs: no, ./ is enough
[02:08] <TheSheep> Ben_Cs: try 'head -n1 ./MathInstaller'
[02:09] <Ben_Cs> #!/bin/sh
[02:10] <Ben_Cs> is the output
[02:10] <TheSheep> Ben_Cs: ok, then you can do just 'sh ./MathInstaller'
[02:11] <Ben_Cs> coooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!
[02:11] <Ben_Cs> you're smart :)
[02:12] <Ben_Cs> thanks
[02:57] <Ben_Cs> i entered a new entry in the Main Menu editor, but it doesn't show on the menu
[02:58] <Ben_Cs> i did settings -> Main Menu
[02:58] <Ben_Cs> and added there
[03:01] <Ben_Cs> oh. it does show but it shows in others instead of education where i seemed to add it
[03:14] <Catoptromancy> is it possible to symlink a shell file?
[03:29] <loswilios> which package contains nvidia.ko (the binary driver)? I can't find it via packages.ubuntu.com
[03:30] <loswilios> I've installed nvidia-glx-legacy and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 but it's still missing
[03:33] <joakim> I searched through google and find it to be in: nvidia-kernel-legacy
[03:35] <joakim> You can also try apt-file.
[03:35] <loswilios> I searched packages.ubuntu.com
[03:36] <loswilios> hm
[03:53] <loswilios> joakim: I got it. I had linux-restricted...-generic installed instead of ...-i386
[04:07] <ubuntu_> hi all

[04:53] <loswilios> I don't know
[04:53] <Ben_Cs> first time i put a theme in ~/.theme and it shows in the User Interface settings. till now it showed only if i copied it to /usr/share/themes
[05:57] <pfein> what do y'all use for IRC?
[05:57] <rici> i use gaim. it sucks.
[05:57] <rici> so why do i use it? god knows.
[05:58] <TheSheep> irssi
[05:59] <pfein> TheSheep irssi looks promising...
[05:59] <pleia2> <3 irssi
[06:00] <TheSheep> it's nice if you frequent a lot of channels
[06:00] <TheSheep> especially with the alt+f2 shortuct
[06:00] <TheSheep> alt=a
[06:00] <TheSheep> alt+a
[06:00] <TheSheep> sorry
[06:00] <BFTD> ?
[06:01] <loswilios> irssi
[06:01] <BFTD> oh
[06:01] <BFTD> ok
[06:03] <BFTD> yeah its nice
[06:31] <lostat_C> Hi. I am looking for a way to put icons in a bar that will really hide itself when not in use and show up when I mouseover a specific area. I am using XFCE for ubuntu 7.04 and don't want to resort to using ugly panels. Any ideas? oh yeah I don't want to use Beryl or any of the fancy 3d stuff if I can also avoid that.
[06:32] <lostat_C> Anyone home?
[06:35] <BFTD> yeah
[06:35] <BFTD> right click the panel
[06:36] <BFTD> hit customize panel, hit auto hide
[06:46] <bazookatooth> i'm having a problem... i have two Dell Monitors. one at home, and one at work. both are 21 inch widescreens, but different models. at home, my ubuntu laptop works perfectly when i hook it up to the monitor. at work, its unusable. i've tried every driver (fglrx, ati, radeon) to no avail.. and only three resolution options show up in the gui config -- even though i changed all of them to 1680 x 1050 in the xorg.conf... HALP, PLZ!!!!!
[06:52] <TheSheep> bazookatooth: two things come to mind: 1) you could specify the refresh rates in xorg, 2) you could check if your graphics card has enough memory for larger modes (some card use the RAM, you set how much in bios)
[06:53] <bazookatooth> refresh rates should probably be.....
[06:54] <bazookatooth> it only gives me the option of 60
[06:54] <loswilios> ignore eid (or whatever it is called)
[06:54] <loswilios> maybe the monitor reports wrong values
[06:55] <bazookatooth> yeah, on the work monitor.. it is move off to the right
[06:55] <bazookatooth> and when i get it fitting correctly, its really blurry
[06:55] <bazookatooth> at home... dell.. same size. plug and play, beautiful
[06:57] <Jester45> my moniter did that after the upgrade from edgy to fiesty its sifted about an 1 inch to the left so there is a black bar on the right but it i turn the moniter off and back on it fixes
[06:57] <Jester45> sometimes after the 2nd or 3rd time restarting the moniter
[06:58] <bazookatooth> hmm ill try after lunch i guess
[06:58] <bazookatooth> i've been at it over a week though
[06:58] <rici> bazookatooth: it's a tft monitor?
[06:58] <Jester45> mines llcd
[06:59] <rici> not a crt, i mean.
[06:59] <rici> Jester45: you can fix that with a modeline and some experimentation, too.
[06:59] <rici> i've had to play around with those particularly for wide-screen monitors
[07:00] <Jester45> im fine with the problem i dont turn my moniter off to much
[07:36] <tr0picana> hello
[07:38] <Jester45> hi
[07:40] <tr0picana> can i get some help about ubuntu?
[07:40] <Jester45> try #ubuntu for ubuntu help
[07:40] <tr0picana> i know
[07:40] <tr0picana> but there are so many people talking
[07:40] <tr0picana> that it's hard to get through
[07:41] <Jester45> well if its gnome related that might be the best place but if its non-gnome here should be fine
[07:42] <tr0picana> its about my wireless card on my laptop
[07:42] <tr0picana> it isnt being recognized
[07:43] <Natureshadow> hello
[07:43] <tr0picana> hi
[07:43] <Natureshadow> I just wanted to get my ypserv running behind iptables, so I configured it to use a static port. Now no client can bind to it - any ideas?
[07:44] <tr0picana> ..im having problems of my own
[07:44] <Natureshadow> With NIS?
[07:44] <tr0picana> how do i get ubuntu to recognize my wireless card?
[07:45] <Natureshadow> What chipset?
[07:45] <tr0picana> http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?inv...G-1101&cat=NET
[07:45] <tr0picana> thats my card
[07:46] <Jester45> have you tried
[07:46] <Jester45> !wifi
[07:46] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:47] <tr0picana> i printed out some pages and im going to try them now
[07:47] <tr0picana> To do this, open System > Administration > Networking. If you can see a "Wireless Connection" entry under the Connections tab,
[07:47] <Natureshadow> Anyway, I can't see any content on that page
[07:47] <tr0picana> i dont see wireless connection
[07:48] <Natureshadow> Is it PCI?
[07:48] <tr0picana> yes
[07:49] <tr0picana> PCMCIA
[07:51] <Natureshadow> Dunno PCMCIA so well - is there an equivalent to lspci for pcmcia?
[07:53] <tr0picana> wat do u mean
[07:53] <tr0picana> well
[07:53] <tr0picana> i did lspci
[07:53] <tr0picana> and it recognized the card
[07:53] <tr0picana> or at least that something was inserted into the slot
[07:53] <tr0picana> marvell
[07:54] <Natureshadow> hmm ...
[07:54] <tr0picana> but it doesnt know its a wireless card
[07:54] <tr0picana> i think
[07:54] <tr0picana> Check the wireless extension output. Have a look whether there is a wireless extension available on any network adapter; there should be at least one if you have inserted a wireless card
[07:54] <tr0picana> Check the wireless extension output. Have a look whether there is a wireless extension available on any network adapter; there should be at least one if you have inserted a wireless card
[07:54] <tr0picana> i did that
[07:55] <tr0picana> and it doesnt have any wireless extensions
[08:00] <tr0picana> if i do lspci
[08:00] <tr0picana> i get this: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200] : Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas]  802.11b/g Wireless [11ab:1faa]  (rev 03)
[08:04] <tr0picana> bah ok im hungry, brb
[08:05] <j1mc> hi maxamillion
[08:05] <maxamillion> hi j1mc
[08:06] <Jester45> hi
[08:06] <j1mc> hi Jester45
[08:17] <tr0picana> ok, back
[08:17] <tr0picana> help? :
[08:17] <tr0picana> :(
[08:19] <j1mc> !ask
[08:19] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:19] <tr0picana> mm
[08:19] <tr0picana> well i have ubuntu
[08:19] <tr0picana> but its too noisy in that channel
[08:19] <tr0picana> i cant get my wireless card working
[08:20] <maxamillion> !wifi | tr0picana
[08:20] <ubotu> tr0picana: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:20] <tr0picana> yes
[08:20] <tr0picana> i went there
[08:20] <tr0picana> but no help
[08:20] <tr0picana> it doesnt really tell me what to do
[08:21] <tr0picana> i did lspci and got
[08:21] <tr0picana> 02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200] : Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas]  802.11b/g Wireless [11ab:1faa]  (rev 03)
[08:21] <tr0picana> is that my wireless card?
[08:26] <tr0picana> right, well..
[08:27] <pleia2> tr0picana: have you confirmed there is linux support for your card?
[08:28] <pleia2> you might have to use the windows driver with ndiswrapper
[08:28] <pleia2> I'd suggest looking at your card, and punching the exact name and model number into google with the word "linux"
[08:29] <tr0picana> i tried, but cudnt find much
[08:29] <pleia2> the trouble with wireless is it's all over the board and unless you find someone with the same card (unlikely in a channel this small) you won't find too much specific help
[08:29] <tr0picana> hmm
[08:30] <tr0picana> i ee
[08:30] <tr0picana> i see*
[08:30] <pleia2> you can also try searching ubuntuforums.org
[08:30] <tr0picana> tried that too
[08:30] <tr0picana> http://www.evertek.com/viewpart.asp?auto=17054
[08:30] <tr0picana> thats my card
[08:34] <tr0picana> and i cant seem to find drivers for it either
[08:34] <tr0picana> for windows or linux
[08:43] <rubenvazquez> whats the difference between xubuntu alternate cd and desktop cd
[08:43] <pleia2> rubenvazquez: the alternate has a text-based installer rather than a GUI installer
[08:44] <pleia2> rubenvazquez: alternate is primarily used for machines with less than 192M of ram
[08:45] <rubenvazquez> i have and older system and cant finish installing xubuntu.   It gets to a bluish screen and a mouse cursor, and doesnt progress from there
[08:46] <pleia2> with which installer?
[08:46] <rubenvazquez> desktop-i386
[08:46] <pleia2> how much ram do you have?
[08:47] <rubenvazquez> 128
[08:47] <pleia2> you'll have to use the alternate
[08:48] <pleia2> the desktop CD requires 192 to do an install
[08:48] <rubenvazquez> thank you
[08:48] <pleia2> welcome :)
[08:51] <tr0picana> ah
[08:51] <tr0picana> ok
[08:51] <tr0picana> quesiton
[08:51] <tr0picana> can i use the nintendo usb wifi adapter in linux?
