[12:01] <aelliott> eboyjr:  perhaps its a graphics card issue
[12:01] <vertex> when i should press control+C?
[12:01] <lightfight> I do have another issue that's quite sticky ( I was getting to it last time when ubuntu froze) regarding disk mounting. I can't mount any CDRs as disks and they don't show up on my desktop automatically. However, if I leave a disk in when I reboot it will appear but when i eject it no new disks will. If it helps my Flashdrive does appear normally. I've tried manually mounting, and running mount/media/cdrom0 to no avail.
[12:01] <ompaul> vertex, after that you can now ssh if you did it
[12:01] <ompaul> vertex, as I suggested
[12:01] <Xoris> ompaul, that's probably ctrl+d that you meant and not ctrl+c?
[12:01] <howlingmadhowie> sauvin: unless it really is just the image. if it is just the image, you'll be able to select the old kernel in grub and just switch back
[12:02] <DISTORTEd> when i type sudo winefile it wont ask me for my password and the previous session of it will run
[12:02] <sauvin> What the hell... I'll give it a shot.
[12:02] <ompaul> Xoris, ctrl c bets on the + being used
[12:02] <eboyjr> aelliott, hmm well it was running before
[12:02] <howlingmadhowie> sauvin: that's the right attitude :) (i offer paid computer support btw.)
[12:02] <````bulldogg> I have a quick question when I try to burn a dvd in k3b or gnome baker it errors and won't let me do it... I tried to run the config from the terminal but it tells me it doesn't exist
[12:03] <Xoris> ompaul: sorry? if you mean what i think you may mean, then you're evil :P
[12:03] <aelliott> eboyjr: hmm that is strange, try reinstalling it
[12:03] <ompaul> vertex, did you by any chance use the + at the same time, the ctrl key and the c key should be hit at the same time lower case is assumed
[12:03] <Pelo> ````bulldogg,  what is the error ?
[12:03] <eboyjr> aelliott, allright thanks
[12:03] <````bulldogg> hold on and I will get the exact error
[12:03] <Mourad> hello
[12:03] <vertex> i know that :p  as i did it
[12:04] <vertex> the command you suggested and after few seconds control+c
[12:04] <vertex> right?
[12:04] <Pelo> !hi | Mourad
[12:04] <ubotu> Mourad: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:04] <howlingmadhowie> @ agrees
[12:04] <Mourad>  me  enter psybnc free
[12:04] <Mourad> pls
[12:04] <ompaul> vertex yes   perhaps you may be in the wrong directory (my assumption here) do this first >>cd ~  <<
[12:04] <|_ocke> well i got my video card working, but now i have no swap space, and my mouse just stopped working
[12:04] <vertex> i wrote like this ----------cat > .ssh/known_hosts----------
[12:04] <````bulldogg> hmm okay that didn't work like it was supposed to... I quickly tried to burn a cd iso that I needed burned and it looks like its going to do that
[12:05] <sauvin> I've survived some pretty spectacularly boneheaded install decisions before, but certainly not without a few [BEEP] , a few [HONK] , an odd [CENSORED]  or two, and, of course, having entire minutes of dialog simply being removed...
[12:05] <ompaul> vertex then do that command ( you can get back to it with up arrow twice)
[12:05] <vertex> i'm in my user directory
[12:05] <ompaul> vertex, so it should be there
[12:05] <````bulldogg> I was hoping it was going to give the error so I could convey the message
[12:05] <ompaul> vertex, do this cd .ssh
[12:05] <syte> ok, so i install envy and i get "No input signal. Go to Power Save Mode". It is as if every time a program edits my xorg.conf file by replacing "nv" with "nvidia" it refuses to boot up. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
[12:05] <vertex> ok
[12:05] <vertex> done
[12:05] <Pelo> ````bulldogg, some cheap cds and dvds can'T get burned all theway to the edge,  that might be the problem , you'd need to put a little less data onthem
[12:05] <B-rabbit> when i try testing my 32bit firefox by typing "firefox32 &" in terminal i get this " Cannot execute /usr/local/firefox32/firefox: Permission denied
[12:06] <B-rabbit> " i even tryed it as root....any help
[12:06] <vertex> now again your command right?
[12:06] <Pelo> Mourad, I don'T allow  private msg  please talk to me in the channel
[12:06] <howlingmadhowie> sauvin: that doesn't sound unanimously positive
[12:06] <kitche> B-rabbit: it means it's not executable most likely
[12:06] <sauvin> it is if I don't want to get banned from the channel :D
[12:06] <````bulldogg> okay getting ready to burn a dvd iso
[12:06] <|_ocke> how can i list my partitions from commandline
[12:06] <ompaul> vertex, ompaul@homer:~/.ssh$     << so your prompt looks like this, if so do this >> rm k*   <<
[12:06] <sparks_> sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/firefox32/firefox ?
[12:06] <exyan> Is there some kind of program to extract audio from a video?
[12:06] <sauvin> exyan: I use mplayer.
[12:07] <studeringaaron> guys im confused
[12:07] <Pelo> by what ?
[12:07] <syte> aelliott, during your envy installation, did u ever get "no input signal. go to power save mode"
[12:07] <Ty> Hey all, just wondering if I could get some help with irq routing and the 8254 timer glitch. It's forcing me to use windows more often... I'm sure you understand the pain involved.
[12:07] <studeringaaron> i want to add adobe flash player but what repos do i use im on ubuntu 7.04\
[12:07] <ompaul> vertex, so that done?
[12:07] <exyan> sauvin: how do you do that with mplayer?
[12:07] <excessluggage> Pelo, and others: I have definately got the fglrx working (and running right now) and the vert and horiz lines for my monitor are taken off the windows monitor .inf file.  Default depth is 24 and default res is 1400x900 at 24 but still only 1024x768.  Any other ideas on what to check?
[12:07] <Pelo> !flash | studeringaaron
[12:07] <ubotu> studeringaaron: 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
[12:08] <studeringaaron> thank you
[12:08] <````bulldogg> okay the image is only 2.2g and it give me a "media is not formatted or supported" "write error"  and then it kicks the disc out
[12:08] <vertex> rm k* <---------this?
[12:08] <sauvin> exyan, are you comfortable with a command line? Do you mind specifying a -ao on the mplayer command line?
[12:08] <Pelo> ompaul,  are you available ?  please show Mourad  the way out
[12:08] <howlingmadhowie> gnash is getting better all the time :) i recently installed it on my 64-bit firefox and it works (sort of)
[12:08] <kimmey2k3> Any know how to change default charset for the gnome-terminal?
[12:08] <ompaul> Pelo, lets ask him nicely to cease
[12:08] <````bulldogg> I figured I didn't have something set properly when I try to do a k3bsetup command at the command line it says no such command
[12:08] <yrjan> anyone with any clue as to why cpu frequency scaling isn't working for me in 7.04? It's a pentium m sonoma cpu ...
[12:08] <ompaul> Mourad, not here please :)
[12:09] <vertex> axisys done
[12:09] <exyan> sauvin: and that extracts it?
[12:09] <excessluggage> termimal->set character encoding
[12:09] <vertex> now the file is deleted
[12:09] <sauvin> exyan, there's more to it than that, but that's the general idea.
[12:09] <aelliott> syte: that message is probably coming from your monitor because it is receiving no signal from teh graphics card
[12:09] <bmachine> hey yallz
[12:09] <ompaul> vertex, now if you do  >>cd .. <<  and ssh you will be able to get into the box
[12:09] <exyan> sauvin: well I'll just go man + grep
[12:09] <emre> thanks for the help nickrud
[12:09] <vertex> no still same error
[12:10] <````bulldogg> Pelo and its not the iso because I burned it on my Mac with no problems using the same media
[12:10] <ompaul> vertex, you are typing what exactly on the command line
[12:10] <aelliott> syte: your card is a 8600GT right? i checked and that card should work fine in ubuntu.
[12:10] <Ty> Can anyone help with the 8254 timer glitch for IO-APIC ??
[12:10] <vertex> sure
[12:10] <ompaul> vertex, don't tell me you are putting a sudo in front of the ssh are you?
[12:10] <````bulldogg> I am just at a loss... for what the deal is
[12:10] <vertex> yeah sorry
[12:10] <syte> aelliott: every time i switch from nv to 8600 gt it does that to me :(
[12:10] <ompaul> vertex, you don't need to :)
[12:11] <aelliott> syte: is the card new and untested? I had a 6200gt which stopped working everytime i tried to activate its accelerated drivers in either windows or linux. Problem turned out to be the card was broken
[12:11] <syte> aelliott: every time i switch from nv to nvidia* it does that to me :(
[12:11] <Pelo> later folks
[12:11] <Ty> Anyone?
[12:11] <syte> aelliott, a lot of people got it working on their systems, so i'm guessing it should work
[12:11] <aelliott> syte: when you boot up, i assume you get output on the screen until just when the desktop is about to start?
[12:11] <syte> yes
[12:12] <vertex> but now doesn't recognize the password for it
[12:13] <````bulldogg> whats the command to run k3b setup from the terminal
[12:13] <````bulldogg> ?
[12:13] <jeff_> hello
[12:13] <ompaul> vertex, so the information was a bit mixed up, no harm done
[12:13] <exyan> sauvin: ty
[12:13] <excessluggage> I want to cry.  My screen size is so big it looks like a child's book :(
[12:13] <vertex> yeah i know
[12:13] <aelliott> syte: i think the steps to take are 1) read log information for xorg and 2) troubleshoot the graphics card
[12:13] <ompaul> vertex, well that is an issue for you, the password is the one you set afik
[12:13] <coy0te> hi
[12:13] <coy0te> 333
[12:13] <vertex> no the password i'm writing is correct
[12:14] <aelliott> syte: i assume you are able to access the shell by pressing cntrl-alt-f2?
[12:14] <brian10161> if anyone could spare some time, i need some help getting sound working on my laptop here
[12:14] <vertex> it's a privilege issue i think
[12:14] <syte> aelliott: yes, i can get to the shell but nothing else
[12:14] <ompaul> vertex, so no what you want to do is this
[12:14] <vertex> it needs root
[12:14] <ompaul> vertex, ssh -C root@192.168.1.1
[12:14] <nickrud> excessluggage, what kind of card?
[12:14] <jeff_> excessluggage have you tried 915resolution?
[12:15] <excessluggage> nickrud, ati x1550 sapphire
[12:15] <ompaul> vertex, ssh assumes you are the same user on both boxes, of not then you need to prefix the IP with username@
[12:15] <aelliott> syte:  hold on, im just testing something - i want to see if there is a way of checking that the kernel driver is loaded
[12:15] <nickrud> excessluggage, what does       xrandr     in a terminal say about available resolutions?
[12:15] <excessluggage> jeff_, what's 915 resolution? (which means no :) )
[12:15] <vertex> ok now it works
[12:15] <Roge> is there a gui app that can split my partition and create a bootable partition ?
[12:16] <jeff_> excessluggage http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=441482&highlight=p205
[12:16] <nickrud> excessluggage, that is, does it say anything about resolutions you're interested in :)
[12:16] <vertex> i used to do sudo ssh but maybe it was a bad habit
[12:16] <excessluggage> nickrud, is there a paste limit in here?
[12:16] <ompaul> vertex, very :-)
[12:16] <nickrud> excessluggage, yes, one line :)

[12:16] <aelliott> syte:  hmm, i seem to remember that when i had trouble with my card there was a log file which listed the error output, but i cant find it
[12:17] <vertex> have a nice chat!
[12:17] <capcadetjc> hi everyone
[12:17] <nickrud> excessluggage, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log; around lines 300 -400 there's some info about recognized resolutions, does it say anything about out of range on the ones you're interested in?
[12:17] <syte> i'm logging at my xorg log files right now
[12:17] <syte> it says "unknown chipset found"
[12:18] <aelliott> syte: ok do "vi /var/logs/Xorg.0.log"
[12:18] <Roge> welp i found gparted, will it split off a peice of the current partition and make another bootable partition
[12:18] <grigora> my connections to ssh on an ubuntu server timeout very quickly, is there any way to extend the timeout threshold ? thanks
[12:18] <capcadetjc> can some one tell me how to make my laptop become part of workgroup WORKGROUP?

[12:21] <mildner> how can I fix applets
[12:21] <d4v1d04> Is this can be compiz support somewhere?
[12:21] <syte> aelliott, want me to pastebin it?

[12:22] <excessluggage> a horse, ram, elephant, etc dependant on your race
[12:22] <ompaul> capcadetjc, that is a channel bot, "mount" is how you make a drive available in GNU/Linux
[12:23] <m1r> i am trying to little tutorial with screenshot for a "how to" with screenshots, but i am unable to take screenshot from start menu, can someone help ?
[12:23] <aelliott> syte - it has occured to me that the 8600GT is actually quite a new card, i think it was released after the 8800GT, possibly it is worth following this tutorial here:- http://www.robdian.co.uk/content/view/56/
[12:23] <aelliott> syte: it could be that envy isnt installing a new enough nvidia driver
[12:23] <syte> aelliott, i've tried that as well
[12:23] <JeevesMoss> can anyone give me some help with finding a v-host control soulition for Ubuntu that's open source?
[12:23] <MARIUSmarius> hey, how to install proper nvidia drivers? not with envy, envy sucks
[12:23] <axisys> everytime I move my laptop .. it tirgger this event http://rafb.net/p/RtN5vg30.html .. every single time
[12:23] <syte> http://pastebin.com/m7f27fca0
[12:23] <unfor> hi, what time is it?
[12:23] <excessluggage> m1r, if you jsut press print screen on your keyboard you can save screenshots
[12:23] <nickrud> excessluggage, your problem is X can't see what kind of monitor you have and doesn't know what horiz & vert freqs to run it at; lines 439-440. So, it goes for a very conservative value. You need to add the rates yourself.

[12:23] <axisys> is there a bug fix for this random disk frozen issue
[12:24] <syte> aelliott, however i will attempt to try it again :D
[12:24] <m1r> excessluggage , it wont take screenshoot of start menu, everything rest it will
[12:24] <d4v1d04> m1r, use gnome-screenshot, and set a timer
[12:24] <excessluggage> m1r: oh i c.  The only way I'd know ho to do that is screenshot the lot then chop it up in gimp or something
[12:24] <m1r> ty d4v1d04
[12:24] <aelliott> syte: the log you sent shows the "nv" driver being loaded, not the nvidia one
[12:24] <nickrud> excessluggage, you should be able to get your monitor's values from your manual or the web
[12:24] <excessluggage> nickrud: thanks.  I have the rates
[12:25] <excessluggage> nickrud: if i pastebin my xorg.conf could you take a look at it?
[12:25] <MARIUSmarius> what about nvidia?
[12:25] <nickrud> excessluggage, sure
[12:25] <MARIUSmarius> what command ?

[12:29] <kitche> m1r: there is a thing called debian from scratch it's in the ubuntu repos as well might want to look at it
[12:29] <capcadetjc> can someone help, maybe walk me through connecting my printer to my laptop wirelessly
[12:29] <m1r> ty xoris
[12:29] <LucianIndy> anyone know of a game profiler for ubuntu/linux?
[12:29] <r0bby> mildner: use java web start, not applets
[12:29] <syte> aelliott, i will retry follow the directions on that site you suggested. Appreciate the help :D
[12:29] <aelliott> syte: good luck mate, sorry i cant give you a perfect answer, but nvidia can be a pain
[12:29] <Xoris> m1r: install CD... as i said, i don't know, but it seems unlikely. true, the install CD is little more than a snapshot of a running system in theory... but taking an actual running system and putting it on a CD sounds problematic
[12:29] <r0bby> assuming you're speaking about java applets
[12:29] <nickrud> excessluggage, change the video driver to ati, see if that gives you the proper resolutions.
[12:29] <ompaul> m1r, did you get your screenshot?
[12:30] <excessluggage> nickrud: ok will do
[12:30] <mildner> r0bby: how do I start java web?
[12:30] <syte> aelliott, will you narrowed the problem down tremendously. And yea, it is a pain at times, lol. Especially for one who is new to linux. Thx again
[12:30] <ompaul> m1r, applications -> accessories -> screen shots -- in that gui choose say 5 or 10 seconds and click take screenshot set up screen as you want it and bingo you got what you need
[12:31] <DRMacIver> Hm. / has suddenly become a read only file system. dmesg says http://pastebin.com/d62595a12
[12:31] <capcadetjc> is there a special channel i need to go to for network assistance?
[12:31] <DRMacIver> Do I need to panic? :)
[12:31] <r0bby> mildner: the developer has to explicitly make it a java web start app
[12:31] <r0bby> DRMacIver: holy moly...
[12:31] <lechack> Falstius: Another big thank you for your time :) by the way how many people got owned by that stupid fstab trick ? x)
[12:31] <DRMacIver> (And what do I need to do to fix this?)
[12:31] <LucianIndy> m1r: alt + print screen for a window, print screen for entire screen
[12:31] <aelliott> syte: np mate :)
[12:32] <manduski> hey guys i was wondering if someone can help me with SSH
[12:32] <ompaul> LucianIndy, no use for menus which is what I gave there :-/
[12:32] <scam> manduski, whats the problem with it?
[12:32] <ompaul> DRMacIver, back up your data and if it is backed up reboot and see if fsck can help, you may however have a flaky disk needing replacement
[12:32] <Fooll> I'm setting up a xubuntu for a computer which is going to placed in a bar for customers to have access to internet. How could I easily restrict user privileges so that basically all they could do is open up a webbrowser?
[12:32] <killux> is there keyboard support for the psp
[12:32] <killux> not the logitech
[12:32] <aguitel> anyone have wireless card with chipset Realtek rtl 8180l ?
[12:32] <killux> but a mod?
[12:33] <Falstius> lechack: so far I know of 2 (and I always have a liveCD around for when I screw up)
[12:33] <manduski> I'm trying to SSH remotely to my computer at home. This is what type: ssh mando@69.69.24.16 and it tells me no route to host
[12:33] <DRMacIver> ompaul: That's what I was afraid of... Thanks.
[12:33] <scam> manduski,  try ssh 69.69.24.16 -l mando
[12:33] <killux> manduski: are you doing this on your psp?
[12:33] <scam> did you install open ssh
[12:33] <manduski> what else can i type to tell it the 192.168.1.101 box
[12:34] <manduski> yeah
[12:34] <killux> linux on it?
[12:34] <d4v1d04> no route to host = routing error
[12:34] <d4v1d04> connection refused = no SSHD
[12:34] <manduski> i can transfer files in the same network fine
[12:34] <killux> are you doing it over the same LAN?
[12:34] <manduski> but when i'm at work it odoesn't seem to work
[12:34] <manduski> not right now
[12:34] <killux> manduski: did you forward the ports?
[12:34] <ompaul> scam, it is installed by default, most likely the router is blocking it and no nat is setup, your call but not something I am ever likely to try and help someone with on irc
[12:34] <scam> manduski,  did you forward your ports  on your router/firewall?
[12:34] <killux> on your router
[12:35] <excessluggage> nickrud: I tried substituting fglrx with ati and when I restarted x I had garbled screen - no graphical interface
[12:35] <scam> ompaul,  it wasnt installed on mine by default
[12:35] <manduski> no i havent forwarded the ports
[12:35] <killux> do that
[12:35] <scam> manduski, you gotta do that
[12:35] <manduski> how do you do forward?
[12:35] <ompaul> scam, ssh to go out is installed, ahh sorry I know you mean openssh-server
[12:35] <manduski> i know how to log in to my router
[12:36] <ompaul> scam, not bad for almost midnight ;-)
[12:36] <scam> ompaul, yup.. he wants to get into it threw ssh
[12:36] <syte> aelliott: i'm about to install the drivers. I have an amd64 os but my operating system is 32-bit. So should i download the 32 bit version?
[12:36] <scam> manduski,  what router
[12:36] <nickrud> excessluggage, well, I told you hold off on the thanks ;) For some reason both ati and nvidia drivers are having a really bad patch. A couple years ago they were trustworthy, but I have no idea what's happened.
[12:36] <manduski> sorry Linksys
[12:36] <d4v1d04> syte, download the version for your os = 32bit
[12:36] <killux> do you know how to log into it?
[12:36] <manduski> yeah
[12:36] <killux> ok
[12:36] <scam> manduski,  what version?
[12:36] <d4v1d04> manduski, www.portforward.com
[12:37] <syte> thx, d4v1d04
[12:37] <scam> d4v1d04, that works
[12:37] <manduski> i'm not sure which model since im not at home
[12:37] <ompaul> manduski, your path is box you are on to Internet to Router @ home though this and out the far side to Machine, router must be set up to move packets along the line to the box
[12:37] <retour> Hi all! On my home LAN I'm using firestarter to filter out access to unwanted IP numbers - is it a way to make also bandwitch shaping so I can lock every station to use up to 30kB max out of max available???
[12:37] <excessluggage> nickrud: yeah I know - have had both ati and nvidia cards working on older versions of ubuntu, debain, fedora, redhat, etc.  Just don't know what's happened nwo
[12:37] <manduski> it's one of the N ones
[12:37] <d4v1d04> Pre-N?
[12:37] <excessluggage> nickrud: thanks for trying anyway.
[12:37] <Emerson> hello
[12:37] <capcadetjc> how do i manage printers on Ubuntu?
[12:37] <nickrud> excessluggage, sorry I wasn't any better help
[12:37] <killux> manduski: go to advanced tab than click forwarding
[12:38] <killux> most linksys routers have the same interface
[12:38] <scam> killux mine doesnt
[12:38] <manduski> ah
[12:38] <cameron_> what codecs do I need for Rhythmbox to play mp3s?
[12:38] <excessluggage> nickrud: hehe that's ok.  I guess I'll just have to wait for the manufacturers drivers to work with my bits
[12:38] <killux> but does linux run on the psp
[12:38] <ompaul> capcadetjc, system administration printing
[12:38] <killux> i mean preformance wise
[12:38] <ompaul> !codecs | cameron_
[12:38] <ubotu> cameron_: 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
[12:38] <manduski> ok thanx guys!
[12:38] <scam> cameron_, it should ask you if you want to install the codec to play mp3s
[12:38] <excessluggage> nickrud: but that does mean that I can't use linux for the time being and that sucks
[12:38] <d4v1d04> RH calls them gstreamer-plugins-ugly ;)
[12:39] <cameron_> it doesn't, It just won't play them -_-
[12:39] <nickrud> excessluggage, yeah. Maybe vmware in windows ;)
[12:39] <scam> cameron_, it just asked me.
[12:39] <d4v1d04> btw, banshee > rhythmbox
[12:39] <excessluggage> nickrud: lol i can't really even do that atm.  I stupidly got vista with my pc and its buggy as hell.
[12:39] <barbarella> retour:witch witch
[12:39] <scam> cameron_,  try out exaile "sudo apt-get install exaile
[12:40] <nickrud> excessluggage, bummer. I run vista in vmware for work. So far so good. Anyway, I gotta run for lunch. Luck
[12:40] <napster_> hi. i want 2 watch a movie on my comp but when i hit fullscreen the thing goes to fullscreen but the actual picture stays tiny
[12:40] <napster_> wat do i do 2 change that?
[12:40] <excessluggage> cheers chaps, back to the drawing board
[12:40] <scam> does anyone know how to map keys on my keyboard so i can use my forward and back button to switch songs
[12:40] <retour> manduski: I've lately set up SpeedStream4100 modem + Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router. Works fine with acces to DSL modem amd statistics through router.
[12:40] <kitche> napster_: that's because that's the resolution of that movie most likely
[12:41] <manduski> if i port forward then every time i type ssh mando@69.69.24.16 it should go directly to my machine? What if i have two machines and i want to log in to both, how will the router know which one you're refering to?
[12:41] <napster_> no. it happens with absolutely any mopvie clip or anything
[12:41] <retour> Barbarella: I also remember that movie, any suggestions about client side bandwitch shaping?
[12:41] <Peaker> can something bad happen if I dist-upgrade dapper->feisty, without going through edgy?
[12:41] <scam> manduski,  can you remote into your router?
[12:41] <Peaker> is it very important to go through edgy?
[12:41] <manduski> i'm not sure how to do that
[12:41] <manduski> remote, that is
[12:41] <scam> manduski,  you can setup the other boxes sshd to work on a different port
[12:42] <capcadetjc> ompaul: i am doing this wirelessly, and i have a cd with the drivers on it, can i skip step 2 (printer driver) and install them when im through?
[12:42] <manduski> ah
[12:42] <scam> manduski,  or you can just login to one then login to the other
[12:42] <napster_> so can any1 help
[12:42] <d4v1d04> Is it just me, or is the ubuntu ssh client quite slow to connect?
[12:43] <scam> napster_,  what was your issue
[12:43] <ompaul> capcadetjc, doing what wirelessly? installing printers or some such and printers are well supported if you click on what I pointed to - using drivers may break thinks in new and unusual ways - the cups system supports many many printers
[12:43] <barbarella> retour:what yo are looking for is qos
[12:43] <scam> does anyone know how to map keys on my keyboard so i can use my forward and back button to switch songs
[12:43] <manduski> scam, so then i would type mando@69.69.25.15 and then the port number??
[12:44] <napster_> when i play movies clips and anything video really on my pc the video size is very small and when i hit fullscreen it stays tiny and doesnt change
[12:44] <ompaul> d4v1d04, it is not slow, have you done "ssh -C user@ip" or ssh -C ip for same user?
[12:44] <manduski> im' sorry i'm a newbie :-/
[12:44] <barbarella> d4v1d04:dns issue?!
[12:44] <scam> napster_,  try gxine
[12:44] <d4v1d04> ompaul, it's fine once it's connected, its just the initial connect
[12:44] <retour> Barbarella: You mean QoS??? any packet name to install or something to mess in netconfig?
[12:44] <d4v1d04> almost as thought my sshd is starting up...
[12:45] <Lichnet> napster_, xine is also good :P
[12:45] <ompaul> d4v1d04, the start up is usually fairly fast unless you got some strange mtu or other nutty things going on, on either end
[12:45] <scam> manduski, private message me
[12:45] <napster_> wats the diff between gxine and xine
[12:45] <bulmer> d4v1d04: maybe it is attempting to resolve your ip address..and dns it uses at the other end is slow
[12:45] <scam> napster_, g is gui for gnome
[12:45] <d4v1d04> I'm using ubutnu server with openssh btw
[12:46] <manduski>  scam, so then i would type mando@69.69.25.15 and then the port number??
[12:46] <napster_> ok
[12:46] <d4v1d04> Same lan - 192.168.1.0/24
[12:46] <d4v1d04> Strange how on PuTTY it can connect fine, no lag at all
[12:46] <barbarella> retour:yes QoS as qos
[12:47] <bulmer> d4v1d04: how long is the wait? a few secs hurts you?
[12:47] <d4v1d04> bulmer, does when I require multiple ssh connections :P
[12:47] <scam> manduski,  can you privite message me
[12:47] <retour> Barbarella: OK! Now HOW to make it work in Ubuntu/Xubuntu
[12:47] <d4v1d04> it's ~10-20 sec
[12:48] <duelboot> d4v1d04, I have the same issue and it does it for remote and local connections
[12:48] <bulmer> d4v1d04: are you using ipv6 or is it enabled?
[12:48] <d4v1d04> bulmer, ipv6 disabled at all points
[12:48] <bulmer> get rid of ipv6 if possible
[12:49] <napster_> gxine didnt help. i still get a tiny window in the middle of the screen
[12:49] <napster_> iv now tried gxine, mplayer, vlc, totem
[12:49] <scam> napster_,  your vid driver installed correctly?
[12:49] <napster_> so i dont think its the player
[12:49] <napster_> i dunno
[12:49] <napster_> im using normal onboard vga
[12:50] <eboyjr> Why does Ubuntu say "Will now halt" before having to shut the computer down manually? I've heard it was a bas BIOS, but Windows seems to work fine in that. Is there a fix for that?
[12:50] <napster_> but i never installed anything cause i dont know how...so im just using it as is
[12:50] <scam> napster_, what video card you got?
[12:50] <napster_> its a sis motherboard and its onboard vga
[12:51] <barbarella> retour:have you look at the ubuntu forums, such a great help
[12:51] <scam> napster_,  run this command in a term..  "glxgears"
[12:51] <scam> without the " "
[12:51] <scam> does it run smooth... and past the out output it puts in the term
[12:51] <scam> manduski,  you still therE?
[12:52] <ompaul> eboyjr, is it a bios issue, you can update you bios (always dodgy) or get a later version of ubuntu which may handle the shutdown better
[12:52] <scam> napster_,  should be something like this "68435 frames in 5.0 seconds = 13686.874 FPS"
[12:52] <napster_> 2088 frames in 5.2 seconds = 400.560 FPS

[01:05] <Trippin> Can someone answer this, I shut my linux computer down early last night because my secondary hard drives disappeared so I thought maybe a drive died, but when I tested them in another computer they worked fine. But now when I try to hook that drive or any other drive to my linux box the bios don't detect my harddrives but yet it will detect my cdrom on either primary or secondary, anyone have any suggestions to try?

[01:08] <jr_> sudo apt-get mysql-server?
[01:08] <barbarella> Trippin:a good help would be to pastebin your partition architecture

[01:09] <scam> napster_,  but i do gotta run.. sorry i cant stay and help
[01:09] <DRMacIver> ompaul: ok, fsck seems to have repaired things without any noticable adverse effects.
[01:10] <napster_> my prob is that it worked with dapper and it worked 4 a while then  it stopped
[01:10] <DRMacIver> ompaul: Anything I should check other than being paranoid about backing up for the immediate future?
[01:10] <napster_> k
[01:10] <napster_> thnx
[01:10] <napster_> ciao
[01:10] <aaron> AboSamoor, try this. open your terminal... and run vncviewer
[01:10] <Trippin> barbarella, I would love to be able to makt it that far but i can't get past the bios
[01:10] <manduski> !register | manduski
[01:10] <MachineLoafer> quit
[01:11] <ompaul> vecina, are you asking how to open a directory within a C++ program, and then list the contents of same? if so should you be looking for #gcc what you think?
[01:11] <Tigertailz> is there no way to install shockwave support?
[01:11] <barbarella> Trippin:can you change the cables?
[01:11] <AboSamoor> aaron, can you give me your IP ? you can set VNC in the view mode to be secure. my friend is sleeping
[01:11] <ompaul> DRMacIver, I would back up, and repartition the drive, things like that always make me edge
[01:11] <ompaul> DRMacIver, edgy
[01:12] <scam> Tigertailz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[01:12] <manduski> the website is having trouble loading
[01:12] <aaron> I don't have anything set up.
[01:12] <aaron> AboSamoor, are you sure you have vncviewer installed?
[01:12] <DRMacIver> ompaul: Well, I've backed up. I'll probably leave off repartitioning for now, though you're probably right that it's a good idea.
[01:13] <AboSamoor> aaron yes, and after i entered that command a dialog box appeared
[01:13] <Mookie> Gnome Network Manager won't let me pick WPA as an encryption option. Any solutions?
[01:13] <Trippin> barbarella yea I test the cables, when I hook the same cables to my cdrom it detects it, but when i switch to my hdd it doesn't so wierd = /
[01:13] <ompaul> DRMacIver, and if anything happens again soon on that drive I would be looking at a new one
[01:13] <Tigertailz> thx mate
[01:13] <Mookie> shiphi1l
[01:13] <aaron> AboSamoor, if you share the IP you're trying to connect to i can verify that port 5900 is open.
[01:13] <DRMacIver> Yeah. I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on the drive for potential hardware problems.
[01:13] <aaron> or you can, using nmap. if you're familiar.
[01:14] <DRMacIver> ompaul: Thanks very much.
[01:14] <AboSamoor> aaron , sorry. but i can't understand you very well. what do you want me to do ?
[01:14] <yrjan> anyone in here with any knowledge about the kernel in 7.04 not working with cpu frequency scaling with certain hw?
[01:14] <barbarella> Trippin:can you reset the bios to defaults, maybe that can help.
[01:14] <ompaul> DRMacIver, you were as they say "very lucky" and in Disaster Recovery there is the phrase, you just had a disaster and you think you are going to get lucky :-)
[01:14] <zero> how activate beryl in ubuntu 7.04
[01:15] <ompaul> zero, go to #ubuntu-effects#
[01:15] <AboSamoor> aaron, do you want my IP address ?
[01:15] <Trippin> barbarella yeah I resetted the cmos but that was a no go either
[01:15] <ompaul> zero, go to #ubuntu-effects (no closing # ;-))
[01:15] <aaron> AboSamoor, i want the ip that you are trying to connect to.
[01:15] <aaron> AboSamoor, it sounds like the server isn't setup properly.
[01:15] <AboSamoor> but his PC is off.
[01:16] <AboSamoor> aaron but his PC is off.
[01:16] <TBZ>  anyone? anyone on x64 ubuntu that could tell me some necessity packages that I will need? also, Is installing ia32 and linux32 packages a "standard" or "good" thing to do in x64 ubuntu?
[01:16] <foxteck> has anybody here used ebox on Ubuntu?
[01:16] <aaron> then what are you trying to do? heh
[01:16] <TBZ> ! ia32
[01:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ia32 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:16] <retour> RichiH: I've installed this Trickle package but it created no icont to start it up? Is it normal? How to use it?
[01:16] <DRMacIver> ompaul: Oh, I'm always lucky. ;) (kidding)
[01:16] <TBZ> ! linux32
[01:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linux32 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:16] <barbarella> Trippin:push the cables more tight
[01:16] <AboSamoor> aaron 86.108.46.12
[01:16] <pacmanfan> i need some help getting my audio working in Ubuntu...
[01:16] <DRMacIver> ompaul: Mostly I'm lazy. I'll take steps to minimize potential consequences of that drive exploding and keep an eye on it. :)
[01:17] <RichiH> retour: there is no icon. you need to start it on the command line. open a console and type man trickle - it will give you a help file that explains what to do
[01:17] <Vitulus> pacmanfan: have u installed the audio driver
[01:17] <RichiH> retour: as in `man trickle`
[01:17] <AboSamoor> aaron, he just go to sleep. if you don't mind we can do that. tell how to the server. and i give you my IP address
[01:17] <ompaul> DRMacIver, there is good lazy (sysadmin stuff) and bad lazy doing nothing
[01:17] <barbarella> Trippin:is your power supply sufficient?
[01:17] <pacmanfan> it worked by default, but i changed a few settings, and now it ain't working. i believe that most of my settings under Sound Preferences were Autodetect by default, but now that i set it back to such it's not working again.
[01:18] <Trippin> barbarella yeah don't see why it wouldn't be ran fine earlier yesterday
[01:19] <SEpda> whats the kernel in gutsy alpha 4
[01:19] <SEpda> ?
[01:19] <DRMacIver> ompaul: Mm. At any rate, it's past midnight over here. I'm certainly not repartitioning the drive *now* :)
[01:19] <SEpda> anyone know
[01:19] <SEpda> is it .23
[01:19] <SEpda> ?
[01:19] <pacmanfan> the default mixer device was my onboard audio, so i changed it to Audigy 2 (what i had my speakers hooked up for), and changed most of the Sound Playback settings to ALSA, and now it seems screwed.
[01:19] <aizen> ola
[01:19] <retour> RichiH: Thank you once again! I would also like to know what is a commant in Ubuntu to start stop network/ display net info etc. In Mandriva and few other distros I've used for instance /etc/init.d/network restart OR telinit 1 2 3 4 5 6 etc and Ubuntu has only 1 and 2.
[01:19] <PriceChild> !gutsy | SEpda
[01:19] <ubotu> SEpda: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[01:19] <boyam> !gutsy > SEpda
[01:19] <wippeout> hello
[01:20] <ompaul> SEpda, please ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:20] <wippeout> do you know a batch shell script which auto rename bad file name
[01:20] <AltiusBimm> does anyone know of a help page for the new Network Settings control pannel in Feisty Fawn?
[01:20] <AboSamoor> aaron, are you there ?
[01:20] <SEpda> right o
[01:20] <SEpda> :)
[01:21] <Vitulus> pacmanfan: write in terminal alsamixer
[01:21] <DRMacIver> ompaul: Anyway, thanks again. I'm going to vanish now. :)
[01:22] <pacmanfan> hrm... it's trying to use my onboard audio.
[01:22] <ompaul> DRMacIver, no problem
[01:22] <barbarella> whaaa the russians used images from the the Titanic movie to plant the flag. (greetings to Finland who noticed it)
[01:22] <RichiH> retour: i don't know, sorry. i use debian, myself
[01:22] <AltiusBimm>  specifically, the topic of why no wireless networks are detected is illusive
[01:22] <RichiH> retour: i am certain someone will be able to tell you, though
[01:23] <axisys> what is a good thumbnail tool ? i want to be able to browse thru thumbnails instead of actual image and just click on the image to see the real size.. this will improve performance of a website
[01:23] <pacmanfan> do settings changed under Sound Preferences have no effect?
[01:23] <axisys> axisys: apt-cache search thumbnail gave me a ton
[01:23] <retour> RichiH: NP thanks anyway. BTW you mean those self compiled debian for supergeeks?
[01:23] <axisys> i am looking for one that stands out in performance
[01:24] <Orakio> Is there an easy way to have ubuntu automatically login to gnome as a user?
[01:24] <Bl00dFox> default session
[01:24] <Bl00dFox> cant you select?
[01:24] <AltiusBimm> orakio: I think there is
[01:25] <komodin_> a/win goto 27
[01:25] <pacmanfan> actually, i figured it out.
[01:25] <pacmanfan> i needed to change it from Autodetect to p16v
[01:26] <Vitulus> pacmanfan: great :D
[01:26] <RichiH> retour: you mean gentoo, not debian. debian is what ubuntu is made from, so to speak. both are very similar but have some distinct differences
[01:26] <axisys> is there a thumbnail generator for video as well?
[01:26] <Orakio> What is it then?
[01:26] <Orakio> I don't see how default session would to that
[01:26] <Vitulus> btw using irssi with mac os x (using ssh to connect to ubuntu-server) :D
[01:26] <Orakio> I thought sesion just selects silly things like the windows managers
[01:27] <retour> RichiH: Ahhhh. I also heard about debian community Upset with ubuntu as it went so far away from the roots its not fully compatible with debian any more
[01:27] <pacmanfan> ok, one other n00b question.
[01:27] <pacmanfan> is there a way to auto-highlight text fields onclick, like in Windows?
[01:28] <Orakio> ok I figured out how to do it
[01:28] <dontalon> my isp is throttling torrent downloads
[01:29] <dontalon> where can i put their name on here
[01:29] <Orakio> for christ sake
[01:29] <Orakio> and what the hell is the root password?
[01:29] <D4v1d04> Orakio, there isn't one :P
[01:29] <ompaul> !root | Orakio
[01:29] <ubotu> Orakio: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[01:30] <D4v1d04> <3 security
[01:30] <Orakio> why does it never give me an option to set this during install
[01:30] <D4v1d04> Orakio, do sudo passwd
[01:30] <ompaul> D4v1d04, that is not adivice you ever give here!
[01:30] <Orakio> now I'll have to live cd, chroot and set the root password myself
[01:30] <n30|away> i'm installing ubuntu for the first time, and already have windows installed.
[01:30] <D4v1d04> I think it's stupid too
[01:30] <n30|away> i've set the partitions to be ones not in use ...
[01:30] <D4v1d04> ompaul, WHY THE FUCK not set a password for root?
[01:30] <n30|away> do i still leave grub at (hd0)?
[01:30] <sauvin> I almost uninstalled ubuntu because of the lack of root account like there is in Fedora Core, but since it can be gotten around, it's all good.
[01:30] <barbarella> Orakio:they are clear about SUDO at startup
[01:31] <PriceChild> !sudo | D4v1d04 (please read)
[01:31] <ubotu> D4v1d04 (please read): sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:31] <ompaul> D4v1d04, READ THE URL AND MIND THE LANGUAGE
[01:31] <D4v1d04> root's passwd won't *SHOULDNT* allow you to set a stupid password
[01:31] <NuwenPham> Ok real newbee question.... I have a Xenon computer. Should I download the 64bit AMD and Intel computers?
[01:31] <Chousuke> D4v1d04: If you set a stupid password, you're stupid. there's no helping that.
[01:31] <D4v1d04> It's especially pointless in a server-environment
[01:32] <RichiH> retour: dunno, most debian people do not care too much about ubuntu as is the case vice versa. which you use is just a matter of personal preference
[01:32] <TBZ> anyone on x64 ubuntu that could tell me some necessity packages that I will need? also, Is installing ia32 and linux32 packages a "standard" or "good" thing to do in x64 ubuntu?
[01:32] <D4v1d04> NuwenPham, xeon?
[01:32] <Orakio> how do I disable sudo?
[01:32] <stdin> D4v1d04: you do KNOW about sudo yes? or I *assume* you would't bash it without knowing about it....
[01:32] <barbarella> Orakio:if you don't like it, you can always do a sudo passwd root, exit and login as root
[01:32] <D4v1d04> stdin, yes
[01:32] <ompaul> D4v1d04, Ubuntu devs and technical board choose that it does not have one what you do in the privacy of your own command line is your call, and you are wrongI don't need it on the servers I run it on go figure sudo is over 20 years old and only now getting the use it should had since the beginning
[01:32] <Orakio> having any normal user being able to set the root password using sudo seems a bit of a security flaw
[01:32] <emre> hi how can i install w32 codecs for ubuntu 5.10 i searched in synaptic but no related results
[01:32] <D4v1d04> and I much prefer %wheel to whatever ubuntu uses took me like 5 minutes to find that out :P
[01:32] <stdin> D4v1d04: then you must also know that it's more secure and can do anything root can?
[07:13] (daleach/#ubuntu) this room have "karma"

[07:13] (ToddEDM/#ubuntu) dystopianray:  what was that command line again?
[07:13] (manduski/#ubuntu) dystopianray: i restarted router and still doesn't work

[07:14] <GaTuNO12> ola
[07:14] <manduski> dystopianray: i tried changing the external port to 500 and changed putty for port 500 and still nothing
[07:14] <GaTuNO12> ay alguien
[07:15] <sean_> manduski: you can set up an ftp on a different port, i believe
[07:15] <dystopianray> manduski: i suspect it is an error in how you've set it up
[07:19] (iDN/#ubuntu) genefitz: It used to stop working at random times.
[07:20] (genefitz/#ubuntu) iDN, is it a wireless job?
[07:20] <brunotvrs> I need a little help. I installed blackbox here, and the default resolution is 1280x1024. Ubuntu has no xf86config, so I changed my xorg.conf and erased all resolutions higher than 1152. After restarting the X, resolution is still in 1280x1024, and ctrl+alt+plus changes resolution, but not the desktop size, giving me a "zoom"-like effect. Anyone can help me, please?
[07:20] <iDN> genefitz: you mean, is the mouse wireless? if that's what you mean, then no, its not wireless.
[07:20] <sean_> Is gksudo really worth the effort of typing the two characters? does it really matter?
[07:21] <iDN> the mouse is unrelated to my opinion. i'm trying to find the guide which help me do the changes in the file in the boot.
[07:21] <MrObvious> !mp3

[07:22] <Truman_> Does anyone know what "Win32 LoadLibrary failed to load: avisynth.dll, /usr/lib/win32/avisynth.dll, /usr/local/lib/win32/avisynth.dll" means when I try to mplayer /dev/video0 (my webcam)?
[07:22] <manduski> dystopianray: I modified my /etc/ssh/ssh_config file for port 443 and still nothing =(
[07:22] <ToddEDM> dystopianray:  is there anything else i could to to get higher resolition
[07:23] <dystopianray> manduski: did you restart the server?
[07:23] <dystopianray> ToddEDM: you could trying editing xorg.conf manually
[07:23] <panther_sn> Can any1 tell me where the information from the Gnome "about me" panel is stored
[07:23] <ToddEDM> yikes
[07:23] <iDN> just a sec genefitz, i'm checking it out.
[07:23] <roshan_s> panther_sn: In /etc/passwd
[07:23] <manduski> dystopianray: how do i restart the server?
[07:23] <sean_> make sure you back it up :P
[07:23] <brunotvrs> He's trying to get higher resolution and I'm trying to get a lower resolution... lol
[07:23] <panther_sn> ty very much
[07:24] <dystopianray> manduski: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart

[07:25] <ToddEDM> thank you
[07:25] <manduski> dystopianray: restarted server, tried it again and "server unexpectedly closed network connection"
[07:26] <Razz> hi
[07:26] <Razz> so quiet today
[07:26] <sean_> ToddEDM: back it up though, you will probably mess up
[07:26] <klobster> I'm asking here since ubuntu uses it as sh
[07:26] <ToddEDM> lol ok sean
[07:26] <dystopianray> manduski: use nmap on your external ip to see if the port is open
[07:26] <hsatera> astro76 pm
[07:26] <iDN> well, genefitz, the guide demanded to use "sudo update-grub" in the end, and the command i entered before that was "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst". i don't think that related though. maybe i opened a second console. do you think that it's possible?

[07:28] <manduski> dystopianray: I've never used nmap (but i do have it on my comp) could you show me what commands do what?
[07:28] <genefitz> iDN, It is possible, but I am not sure I understand editing grub to fix a non-responsive mouse.. Let me check the wikis real quick..

[07:29] <dhiman> this is dhiman
[07:29] <dystopianray> ToddEDM: you probably want to edit the monitor section
[07:29] <astro76> !screen | Reewar
[07:29] <ubotu> Reewar: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[07:29] <dystopianray> !screen | Reewar
[07:29] <dhiman> can any one tell me how i create a broadband manager
[07:29] <hsatera> astro76 in the command program?
[07:29] <dystopianray> dhiman: a what?
[07:30] <hsatera> i'm not in the GUI bittornado
[07:30] <astro76> hsatera, ah I haven't used it without GUI
[07:30] <ToddEDM> dystopianray: screen has some lower esolutions in there... monitor just has refresh rates
[07:30] <dhiman> dhiman is my name and i m frm india
[07:31] <manduski> dystopianray: it says "PORT 443/tcp, STATE open SERVICES https
[07:31] <dhiman> i m a new user of ubuntu
[07:31] <Dogshoe21> dystopianray, are you going to be online for a while??
[07:31] <genefitz> iDN, before we go any further, are you using Feisty, Dapper, or Edgy?
[07:31] <Reewar> thanks
[07:31] <dhiman> do u know how to create a broadband manager
[07:31] <dystopianray> ToddEDM: did you run that command i told you earlier and selected the resolutions you wanted?
[07:31] <iDN> genefitz: Feisty.
[07:31] <dystopianray> dhiman: what is a broadband manager?
[07:32] <ToddEDM> yes i did dystopianray
[07:32] <dystopianray> Dogshoe21: probably
[07:32] <Dogshoe21> genefitz, how long are you going to be online? I'm about halfway through this doc but I need to reboot so I can get some files
[07:32] <ToddEDM> i actually have it open now
[07:32] <ToddEDM> again
[07:32] <dystopianray> ToddEDM: all the resolutions you selected should be in xorg.conf
[07:32] <manduski> dystopianray: it says "PORT 443/tcp, STATE open SERVICES https
[07:32] <dhiman> oh......ok ...
[07:33] <arooni> how do i login without gdm running ( i need to install nvidia drivers)
[07:33] <genefitz> Dogshoe, I am an insimniac, I will most likely be up all night..
[07:33] <arooni> its like control + alt + f7 or something
[07:37] <dystopianray> dhiman: who are you talking to?
[07:37] <dystopianray> manduski: sounds like the port is open
[07:37] <n2diy_> insomniac?
[07:37] <ToddEDM> dystopianray:  when i ran that cmd again, the 1440x900 that i selected before wasnt selected... i will try again
[07:37] <manduski> dystopianray: so what could be going wrong?
[07:37] <Ashfire908> can you install more than one GUI? like GNOME and KDE?
[07:37] <dystopianray> manduski: hrrm not sure
[07:37] <dystopianray> Ashfire908: yes
[07:37] <doseryder> what does control + alt + f8 do? I once tried it and the screen went black
[07:37] <genefitz> iDN, I am not sure friend, you may want to try looking here. it may help you http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty/Hardware
[07:37] <Ashfire908> dystopianray, is there something special i have to do?
[07:37] <dystopianray> Ashfire908: no, just install kde or gnome, or whatever else you want
[07:37] <ToddEDM> dystopianray:  i see it made a new xorg file
[07:37] <genefitz> I wish I could be more helo, but I did a keyword "Fesity Grub mouse not working" search, and this page kept coming up
[07:37] <dystopianray> ToddEDM: that's right, try restarting your X server
[07:37] <n2diy_> doseryder:  I don't know, but doing that with F1-F5 will get you a command prompt.
[07:37] <ToddEDM> ok
[07:37] <Ashfire908> dystopianray, so if i have gnome i can just install kde with gnome still installed?
[07:37] <dystopianray> Ashfire908: of course
[07:37] <genefitz> iDN, It would be the best placeto start.
[07:37] <dystopianray> Ashfire908: it's just another package, nothing special
[07:37] <manduski> dystopianray: it's telling me "server unexpectedly closed network connection" does that mean that the problem lies with the computer i'm trying to SSH into, not the router?
[07:37] <doseryder> that I know. and alt + ctrl f7 to return to x
[07:37] <Ashfire908> dystopianray, ok, just want to make sure before i broke somthing.
[07:37] <n2diy_> doseryder:  yep
[07:37] <genefitz> <~~ Stepping away for a moment (coffee time)
[07:37] <ToddEDM> THANK YOU dystopianray
[07:37] <daleach> ToddEDM, don't forget control alt + backspace
[07:37] <daleach> i think
[07:37] <ToddEDM> woo
[07:37] <daleach> heh got it?
[07:37] <iDN> genefitz: i have seen it before. it's not the guide i am looking for. in fact it is not related what so ever to the problem i had. i didn't even look there then, do you have other suggestion please?
[07:37] <LDS_Trooper> Greetings.. a friend is needing some info on setting up a Wireless connection in Ubuntu.. can someone point the right direction?
[07:37] <ToddEDM> got it
[07:37] <daleach> nice
[07:37] <astro76> manduski, what is your ISP? or are you at a company?
[07:37] <daleach> dystopianray is hard core hah
[07:37] <dystopianray> LDS_Trooper: tell your friend to come in here
[07:37] <iDN> genefitz: as we speak, i'm still searching google to find it. still with no success.
[07:37] <manduski> my ISP is Embarq
[07:37] <ToddEDM> dys is da man!
[07:37] <LDS_Trooper> will do
[07:37] <dystopianray> manduski: hrrm, i'm not exactly sure at this point, the server is working fine on your internal lan
[07:37] <astro76> manduski, what was your router again?
[07:37] <doseryder> I was actually just gonna ask someone one what alt +ctrl +f8 or f9 does.  Cuz from what i know, alt + ctrl f7 returns you to the current display. (i.e. :0.0)
[07:38] <n2diy_> Hey, all, the Perseid Meteor showers start tonight, and go for three days, look up, and east, enjoy.

[07:38] <arooni> libc
[07:38] <arooni> how do i install libc development package
[07:38] <n2diy_> arooni: build-essential(s)
[07:38] <dystopianray> ToddEDM: ... a text editor?
[07:39] <dystopianray> Ashfire908: that's right
[07:39] <ToddEDM> ok i guess that will do
[07:39] <Mr_Bomb> hey dystopianray
[07:39] <philthy> hahaha
[07:39] <genefitz> iDN, I am still searching, give me a couple minutes..
[07:39] <arooni> n2diy_: package not found

[07:39] <daleach> cool
[07:40] <dystopianray> n2diy_: it's only visible in the northern hemisphere
[07:40] <genefitz> iDN, what are your computer specs? Laptop or Desktop, Mac or PC, etc?/////////
[07:40] <doseryder> :0.x are any video cards installed on the current computer right?  What would :1.x or :2.x be?
[07:40] <manduski> astro76: what do you suggest?
[07:40] <n2diy_> dystopianray: my bad, sorry
[07:40] <LDS_Trooper> dystopianray, he's on his way
[07:40] <philthy> arooni: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
[07:40] <eTiger13> why would my wireless connection hang when connecting at "EAPOL: startWhen --> 0"?
[07:40] <iDN> ordinary PC.
[07:40] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, yeah LDS_Trooper told me to come to you :)
[07:40] <astro76> manduski, one sec, reading your manual
[07:40] <Mr_Bomb> I'm having trouble getting my wireless going
[07:40] <iDN> genefitz: ordinary PC.
[07:40] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: what problem are you having?
[07:40] <LDS_Trooper> dystopianray, there he is
[07:41] <genefitz> what kind of mouse?
[07:41] <genefitz> Brand / optical or standard?
[07:41] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, I'm trying to get the driver installed but doesn't work.
[07:41] <n2diy_> arooni: build-essential doesn't work?
[07:41] <arooni> says not found.. its a fresh install... i'm trying sudo apt-get update
[07:41] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: which wireless card do you have?
[07:41] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, one sec and let me get the how-to I followed so I can get you the error
[07:41] <Mr_Bomb> I've got a Broadcom
[07:41] <sauvin> arooni, what are you trying to build?
[07:42] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: you'll want to use ndiswrapper
[07:42] <arooni> sauvin: nvidia drivers
[07:42] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, yeah that's what I'm using
[07:42] <n2diy_> arooni: are you using Synaptic?
[07:42] <arooni> n2diy_: nope.  command line
[07:42] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, okay this is the one I"m using
[07:42] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: have you used ndiswrapper to install a windows driver?
[07:42] <n2diy_> arooni: ok, then you may have to edit your repo file?
[07:42] <Mr_Bomb> wait, no that's not it
[07:43] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, that's what I was working on until it failed
[07:43] <astro76> manduski, in the Security tab, try unchecking "Filter Anonymous Internet Requests"
[07:43] <arooni> n2diy_: ok what should i add?
[07:43] <Mr_Bomb> said the driver was invalid
[07:43] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: are you using 32-bit or 64-bit ubuntu?
[07:43] <arooni> hey folks
[07:43] <n2diy_> arooni: I don't think you need to add anything, just uncomment stuff, wait...
[07:43] <arooni> should i be running 64 bit version of ubuntu?
[07:43] <darwin> hey somebody know about vmware server ?
[07:43] <n2diy_> ! repos

[07:44] <arooni> why no dystopianray ?
[07:44] <daleach> darwin i know a bit it hink
[07:44] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, actually I'm not sure. I'm on a 64 bit machine though
[07:44] <ash_> Anyone know if there has been a package released for Azurues 3.0? I hate that they've sold out :( But it's still probably the best out there
[07:44] <delpiero> hi ther
[07:44] <arooni> n2diy_: running sudo apt-get update fixed it
[07:44] <n2diy_> arooni: see ubotu's comments on repos?
[07:44] <dystopianray> arooni: if you don't know why you need 64-bit ubuntu, you don't need it

[07:44] <arooni> dystopianray: for extra fast performance?
[07:44] <arooni>  ;p
[07:44] <darwin> i guess than i have something bad or something it is not installed
[07:44] <n2diy_> arooni: cool.
[07:44] <manduski> astro76: still telling me "server unexpectedly closed network connection:
[07:45] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, i686
[07:45] <brunotvrs> If I type "firefox &" at the terminal, shouldn't the "&" give me the option to close the terminal without closing the programme?
[07:45] <dystopianray> arooni: just becuase the numbers are higher, doesn't mean it'll perform faster
[07:45] <arooni> damn
[07:45] <dystopianray> arooni: the main benefit is if you have a lot of ram
[07:45] <dystopianray> arooni: like 4GB or over
[07:45] <astro76> manduski, what is your external ip?
[07:45] <arooni> dystopianray: i just have 2gb
[07:45] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: you need to find a .inf and .sys file for a 32-bit windows driver for your card
[07:45] <ash_> brunotvrs, no... that just allows for you to keep using the terminal
[07:45] <astro76> manduski, 69.69.24.16 ?
[07:46] <brunotvrs> ohh
[07:46] <manduski> 69.69.24.16
[07:46] <n2diy_> 4gb of ram!? I have hard drives that aren't that big!
[07:46] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, I think I've got them..
[07:46] <brunotvrs> What's the option to close the terminal without closing the programme?
[07:46] <manduski> astro76 yeah
[07:46] <delpiero> hey there guys
[07:46] <ash_> brunotvrs, the program will stay open for as long as you have the terminal open but you can still use the terminal
[07:46] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: ok, and you need to install the ndiswrapper-utils package
[07:46] <delpiero> does anyboy know how to get nodes for freenet
[07:46] <astro76> manduski, unchecking that didn't work, because it should now respond to pings, it isn't
[07:46] <wolfen69> i have 2gigs, im happy.
[07:46] <darwin> dystopianray: these are the error's http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33414/

[07:48] <ash_> brunotvrs, might want to try gmrun
[07:48] <manduski> astro76: so does that mean my router is whack?
[07:49] <dystopianray> AMDfanboy: there is nothing you can do, the index.html thing is server side
[07:49] <n2diy_> thirst: yes, you should be able to manually install through F-X function key options.

[07:50] <m0u5e> im trying to find a .deb for it
[07:50] <AMDfanboy> thats 3 people.  so i guess i can't do it.  thanks for saving me the trouble!
[07:50] <ash_> brunotvrs, gmrun is like a "Run command" window
[07:50] <philthy> AMDfanboy: you have privileges to download files on the server (most) but don't have privileges to list the files in the directory
[07:50] <brunotvrs> oh
[07:50] <brunotvrs> works with blackbox?
[07:50] <darwin> dystopianray: i did it but neither works, it fault install from script perl

[07:51] <dystopianray> darwin: hrrm, well i'm not sure, i've not used vmware on ubuntu
[07:51] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: have you installed ndiswrapper-utils ?
[07:51] <ash_> brunotvrs, just type in the name of the program like... firefox.. and firefox runs and you can close the terminal you are working with... I'm not sure about blackbox.. but I think so.. just sudo apt-get install gmrun and give it a try
[07:51] <thirst> n2diy_:  thanks.. lemme try that.

[07:53] <Sha_ka> i am a newbie using edubuntu ltsp. can I set up all user client desktop gui, so it's look like server desktop ? with one setting ?
[07:53] <wolfen69> sha_ka: ubuntu server doesnt have a desktop by default.

[07:53] <inventorgp> damn it....  running a server on a desktop = bad.. lol...      I guess its time to install server edition

[07:55] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, does bcmwl564.sys, bcmwl5.inf, and bcml5.sys sound right?
[07:55] <dystopianray> inventorgp: there isn't much to it, create a database, create a user and away you go
[07:55] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: yes
[07:55] <n2diy_> eTiger13: does ifconfig show your wireless card?
[07:55] <manduski> astro76, yeah, both to 22, then someone said that some ISPs block that and then tried both to 443, changed the server_config file, restarted, and did it on PUTTY with port 443 and says,  "server unexpectedly closed network connection
[07:55] <iDN> genefitz: ok, thank you very much anyway!
[07:55] <sauvin> inventorp, do you know about the #mysql channel?
[07:55] <genefitz> I do however wish you luck on your resolve.
[07:56] <manduski> astro76, what's power cycling my router?
[07:56] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: put the files into your home directory adn run this comand 'ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf'
[07:56] <eTiger13> n2diy_: yes, as eth0

[07:56] <inventorgp> dystopianray: I've had MySQL working before... just this time I reinstalled Ubuntu..
[07:56] <ferret_0567> wtf?
[07:56] <astro76> manduski, 443 is probably also a bad choice, the isp might be blocking http/https servers, use numbers over 1024
[07:56] <hsatera> what does it mean? configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH
[07:56] <astro76> manduski, pull the power and plug back in ;)
[07:56] <genefitz> iDN, if I may suggest check out linuxforums, they may be able to help you re-confugure your grub..
[07:56] <astro76> manduski, fyi 443 is https port
[07:56] <dystopianray> hsatera: you don't have the compiler it's looking for
[07:57] <iDN> ok, i'll try that.
[07:57] <inventorgp> sauvin: I'd rather install ubuntu server then build it up
[07:57] <manduski> astro76, yeah, i pulled the plug b4 as well too
[07:57] <ferret_0567> why are my CD's not mounted with correct permissiions?
[07:57] <iDN> is a command which default GRUB exsst?
[07:57] <iDN> exist*
[07:57] <Mr_Bomb> k done dystopianray
[07:57] <manduski> astro76, 443 is what the stupid linksys support technical help indian guy told me
[07:57] <n2diy_> eTiger13: hmm that doesn't seem right? I don't think Ubuntu knows it's a wireless card?
[07:57] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: what ist he output of 'ndiswrapper -l' ?
[07:57] <manduski> astro76, what port would you suggest?
[07:57] <astro76> manduski, I'd try it again now that you've unchecked the block anonymous requests, make sure it's still unchecked after rebooting
[07:58] <ferret_0567> /dev/hda on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=travis)
[07:58] <ferret_0567> /dev/hdb on /media/cdrom1 type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=travis)
[07:58] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, "driver bcmwl5 is already installed"
[07:58] <Mr_Bomb> I installed it when I went through the how-to dystopianray
[07:58] <hsatera> dystopianray what's the solution?
[07:58] <TBZ> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33415/
[07:58] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: no i said: ndiswrapper -l
[07:58] <astro76> manduski, wow that's idiotic!
[07:58] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: l not i
[07:58] <iDN> i found it!
[07:58] <eTiger13> n2diy_: that's what I thought but it shows all the wireless stuff there like SSID and such
[07:58] <TBZ> sorry, wrong chat
[07:58] <iDN> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=498785&highlight=mouse+ps2+crazy
[07:58] <inventorgp> be right back
[07:58] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, oops
[07:58] <astro76> manduski, anything over 1024 really, 5001 should be fine
[07:59] <dystopianray> hsatera: try editing the makefile so it is using gcc
[07:59] <astro76> manduski, I'm still concerned why you can't be pinged
[07:59] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, okay I get a bunch of different options for attributes
[07:59] <dystopianray> astro76: most consumer routes will block pings
[07:59] <philthy> manduski: go for :1337, IMO
[07:59] <genefitz> iDN, cool, glad you found it..
[07:59] <Mr_Bomb> e.g. -i, -a, etc
[07:59] <astro76> dystopianray, we've unchecked the option that blocks it though
[07:59] <hsatera> how do i install gcc?
[07:59] <manduski> astro76, pulled the plug again and nothing
[07:59] <manduski> let me change the ports
[07:59] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: did you run 'ndiswrapper -l', the letter L but lowercase ?
[07:59] <hsatera> i'm running it remotely...
[07:59] <iDN> i just never search ubuntuforums cebause i thought i found it with google.
[08:00] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, yep
[08:00] <iDN> i must do a system restart. thank again genefitz
[08:00] <dystopianray> astro76: could be his isp blocking pings
[08:00] <genefitz> Peace iDN
[08:00] <iDN> for your time and help.
[08:00] <astro76> dystopianray, very possible
[08:00] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: it should say something like 'driver present, hardware present'
[08:00] <iDN> goodbye
[08:00] <genefitz> No problem, happy to help
[08:00] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, hmmm nope, definitley not getting that
[08:00] <astro76> manduski, maybe try the DMZ tab
[08:00] <arooni> folks....... i have installed nvidia-settings.... how can i see/detect my second monitor?
[08:00] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: hrrm, well anyway
[08:01] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: run this: modprobe -r bcm43xx
[08:01] <astro76> manduski, enable DMZ for one of the PCs temporarily, let's try to rule out the router or the ISP
[08:01] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, nevermind, I'm just dumb
[08:01] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: woops, i mean: sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx
[08:01] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: then: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[08:01] <Mr_Bomb> lol I had put the name in the command as well
[08:01] <Mr_Bomb> with "ndiswrapper -l" I get "bcmwl5 : invalid driver!"
[08:01] <ferret_0567> why is my CD-ROM mount points owned by a user and group that do not correspond to anything and furthermore do not have "read" access for others?
[08:02] <eTiger13> n2diy_: any ideas?
[08:02] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: hrrm strange, is this the driver that came with the card?
[08:02] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, okay I did that
[08:02] <genefitz> arooni, check http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~djm/ubuntu/#dual-monitors
[08:03] <n2diy_> eTiger13: sorry missed the question?
[08:03] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, no idea, I don't have any of the original driver cds or anything. It's the driver I got from the how-to for almost this exact model
[08:03] <manduski> astro76, i changed the parameters to port 1337 and now i get "network error: connection refused:
[08:03] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, I've got a Dell Inspiron 1501
[08:03] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: well it sounds like it's not the right driver
[08:03] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: go to the manufacturer's website and get the correct driver
[08:03] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, yeah, I can't seem to find the right one though
[08:03] <manduski> astro76, trying out dmz
[08:03] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, k I'll take another look
[08:04] <LDS_Trooper> Mr_Bomb, I need to run for a bit
[08:04] <Mr_Bomb> LDS_Trooper, alright see ya man
[08:04] <LDS_Trooper> Mr_Bomb, meet you on IM
[08:04] <manduski> astro76, for dmz what do i put for "source IP address" ?
[08:04] <LDS_Trooper> You're in good hands here
[08:04] <astro76> manduski, Any
[08:05] <philthy> !sound
[08:05] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[08:05] <arooni> should i be running nvidia-glx instead?
[08:05] <Mr_Bomb> LDS_Trooper, sounds good man, I should have the last few tutorials up shortly
[08:05] <arooni> of downloading drivers from tehir site
[08:05] <eTiger13> is there a list somewhere that apt-get pulls programs from that I can browse from XP and then download to a disk? Can I then install them from that disk?
[08:05] <manduski> astro76, on what port from putty, 1337?
[08:05] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, okay I'm downloading the driver right now, what do I do to extract the firmware from it?
[08:06] <jimmygoon> eTiger13, you can do such a thing in ubuntu, but not likey in windows xp, and that is a TON of stuff, like gigs and gigs and gigs of stuff. not very nice to the server, esp if you have a lot of repositories
[08:06] <genefitz> arooni, the proper install instructions for dual monitors and Nvidia can be found here http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_setup_Dual_Monitors_with_NVidia_in_Feisty_Fawn
[08:06] <astro76> manduski, no now you'll use whatever the server is set to, so 22
[08:06] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: you don't extract any firmware, you only need the .sys and .inf files
[08:06] <n2diy_is_watchin> eTiger13: google for .deb and dpkg
[08:06] <manduski> well i changed the server computer to listen for 1337
[08:08] <manduski> astro76, network error: connection refused
[08:08] <astro76> manduski, I'm really stumped unless your ISP is blocking everything
[08:08] <astro76> manduski, you could try removing the router and pluggin one pc directly into the modem
[08:09] <Javid> Is it just me or is wget significantly faster than downloading stuff in a web browser?
[08:09] <dystopianray> Javid: it's probably just you
[08:09] <manduski> before when i had it on the 443 port at least it was saying "server unexpectadly closed network connection"
[08:10] <rockets> Anybody here tried Azureus 3.0
[08:10] <rockets> what do you think of it?
[08:10] <genefitz> Javid, it seems fster becaue you see the progreesssss, I think..
[08:10] <genefitz> Then again, it may be faster, I don't know..
[08:10] <Javid> I'm looking at the bandwidth here
[08:15] (astro76/#ubuntu) manduski, what's the port?
[08:15] (manduski/#ubuntu) 1337
[08:15] (ferret_0567/#ubuntu) it's a iso9660
[08:15] (kahrytan/#ubuntu) Javid and jimmygoon, Deluge is a good alternative to uTorrent. It has most the features of Utorrent except limiting upload speed when downloading.
[08:15] (astro76/#ubuntu) manduski, I get nothing
[08:15] (jimmygoon/#ubuntu) kahrytan, yes, but I don't like it :P
[08:15] (kahrytan/#ubuntu) jimmygoon, Why not
[08:15] (genefitz/#ubuntu) Javid, azureus is trash anyway.. you don't need it..
[08:15] (ferret_0567/#ubuntu) Quake 4 installation CD
[08:15] (Geek_/#ubuntu) isn't the current bitorrent (the official one) just  arebadged utorrent? and they may have a linux build
[08:15] (ferret_0567/#ubuntu) to be exact
[08:15] (jimmygoon/#ubuntu) kahrytan, I dunna
[08:16] (jimmygoon/#ubuntu) I'll try it again for the hell of it
[08:16] (jimmygoon/#ubuntu) s/hell/heck
[08:16] (kahrytan/#ubuntu) jimmygoon, Deluge is essentially same thing.
[08:16] (dystopianray/#ubuntu) ferret_0567: it probably has rock ridge with crazy permissions
[08:16] <manduski> jimmygoon, what is vpn tunneling
[08:16] <Mentehe> www.hotsex. com
[08:16] <kahrytan> jimmygoon, It has protocal encruption.
[08:16] <ferret_0567> isn't there some way to override?
[08:16] <jimmygoon> kahrytan, that sounds like an STD
[08:16] <ferret_0567> without mounting manually, that is
[08:16] <kahrytan> !ops mentehe
[08:16] <dystopianray> ferret_0567: try the 'norock' mount option
[08:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ops mentehe - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:16] <kahrytan> !ops

[08:16] <Mr_Bomb> err, I can't seem to find just a driver for the wireless for this model dystopianray . So I'm working through the how-to again but a problem comes when I try and get bcm43xx-fwcutter
[08:17] <Geek_> hmm
[08:17] <genefitz> Geek_ kinda, but not really, it is really scaled down, but works well none the less..
[08:17] <xooi> alooo
[08:17] <kahrytan> oh crap
[08:17] <xooi> aloo
[08:17] <Hobbsee> er, oops
[08:17] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: the howto you're reading is for something else
[08:17] <astro76> hehe
[08:17] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: you want to use ndiswrapper, not bcm43xx
[08:17] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, apt-get can't find the file
[08:17] <kahrytan> Did someone catch mentehe's host mask?
[08:17] <arooni> these instructions dont work :(
[08:17] <arooni> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_setup_Dual_Monitors_with_NVidia_in_Feisty_Fawn
[08:17] <Geek_> anyone know how to change ubuntu to listen to a static IP and back?
[08:17] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, oh? Seems this is using both...
[08:17] <xooi> ;)
[08:17] <salah> How do I check which mixer device I use for sound output?
[08:17] <Hobbsee> kahrytan: of course.  joins and parts are enabled here
[08:17] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: well you should only be using ndiswrapper
[08:17] <manduski> astro76, what's the vpn tunneling and how can i use it in this situation?
[08:17] <kahrytan> Hobbsee, Just making sure.
[08:17] <ameyer> Hobbsee: 01:16 -!- Mentehe [n=Mentehe@125.163.200.75]  has quit [Client Quit] 
[08:17] <philthy> yay. i finally got alsa to work, with a simple fix.
[08:18] <astro76> Hobbsee, Mentehe@125.163.200.75
[08:18] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, okay, any pointers on what I need to do with it?
[08:18] <ameyer> oops, sorry
[08:18] <genefitz> I haven't used torrents to download anything but linux distros since Torrentspy starting tracking, I don't trust the search engines anymore.
[08:18] <Hobbsee> ameyer: astro76 i know.  i saw.  i've already banned it.
[08:18] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: with what?
[08:18] <jimmygoon> it was already done :D
[08:18] <kahrytan> genefitz, go direct
[08:18] <jimmygoon> C:
[08:18] <kahrytan> Hobbsee, Didnt say you didnt
[08:18] <Mr_Bomb> ndiswrapper dystopianray
[08:18] <astro76> Hobbsee, sorry misread, thought you asked :)
[08:18] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: you need to find the windows driver for your card, get the .sys and .inf files
[08:19] <kahrytan> Besides you are my fav op, Hobbsee
[08:19] <Hobbsee> astro76: nah :)
[08:19] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: then use ndiswrapper -i blah.inf to install it
[08:19] <Hobbsee> astro76: i have a search function.  it's very useful ;)
[08:19] <genefitz> kharytan, some you can, some it is easier to torrent. :-)
[08:19] <dystopianray> Mr_Bomb: then unload the bcm43xx module and load the ndiswrapper module
[08:19] <Hobbsee> astro76: there's even a search function in the banlist, thanks to sho_
[08:19] <arooni> can someone help me get dual monitors working
[08:19] <arooni> with ubuntu
[08:19] <dystopianray> arooni: which what video card?

[08:20] <barbarianhero> jimmygoon: how do i get back then?
[08:20] <arooni> genefitz: i tried taht... x wouldn't boot with the settings listed
[08:20] <jimmygoon> barbarianhero, um <ctrl><alt>f7 I think, lemme try real fast
[08:20] <genefitz> thanks kahrytan
[08:20] <jimmygoon> yeah, ctrl+alt+f7 brings you back
[08:20] <Lifeisfunny> arooni, you are using nvidia? xorg.conf probably needs to be reconfigured by using the nvidia-config command, read  http://olympus.het.brown.edu/cgi-bin/man/man2html?nvidia-xconfig+1
[08:20] <^futuro> hi to all
[08:20] <astro76> manduski, not really sure, I haven't messed with VPNs
[08:20] <barbarianhero> jimmygoon: ok, sweet. thanks
[08:20] <ferret_0567> that worked
[08:20] <lgc> !uuid
[08:20] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[08:21] <genefitz> arooni, that is the only way I know. Sorry
[08:21] <^futuro> i have one problem
[08:21] <kahrytan> genefitz, I got tv tuner so I got plausible deniability
[08:21] <^futuro> can you help me?
[08:21] <arooni> dystopianray: nvidia 7950 gtotc
[08:21] <dystopianray> arooni: gtotc?
[08:21] <genefitz> kahrytan, I have a tuner, but so far haven't been able to get myth to work correctly with my PVr 150
[08:21] <woilfu> hello
[08:21] <ferret_0567> but, now only root can umount the device
[08:22] <kahrytan> genefitz, I got one that doesnt work in Linux. Just Windows.
[08:22] <arooni> dystopianray: not too sure on the last part... but its definitely 7950
[08:22] <genefitz> Linux hates my mobo, and       sssssql never sets up right
[08:22] <dystopianray> arooni: try using nvidia-settings
[08:22] <kahrytan> genefitz, HVR-1600. They say they are working on it
[08:22] <jimmygoon> !ask | ^futuro
[08:22] <ubotu> ^futuro: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:22] <arooni> dystopianray: i did but then it didnt detect my second monitor
[08:22] <ferret_0567> I could always mount with me as the owner
[08:22] <arooni> dystopianray: should i try resatrig
[08:22] <philthy> best media player, go.
[08:22] <dystopianray> arooni: are you using the nvidia driver?
[08:22] <genefitz> kahrytan, me too, I have a PVR 150 and nothing but issues. I use windows for media center, and Fedora for everything else..lol
[08:23] <kahrytan> genefitz, What chip is it?
[08:23] <philthy> dystopianray: what media player do you use?
[08:23] <dystopianray> philthy: for audio or video?
[08:23] <^futuro> I have a notebook Ibm thinkpad 600e
[08:23] <philthy> audio
[08:23] <dystopianray> philthy: amarok
[08:23] <jimmygoon> ^futuro, okay, and whats the matter?
[08:23] <^futuro> but my sound card doesn't work
[08:23] <kahrytan> genefitz, cuz some pvr-150 shipped with hvr-1600 card
[08:23] <arooni> dystopianray: yes the fresh one downloaded from their site
[08:23] <philthy> dystopianray: , sorry media was a little ambiguous :P what about video then?
[08:23] <salah> any idea to my problem?
[08:23] <manduski> astro76, i nmap port 1337 and it says the port is closed and the SERVICE is waste
[08:23] <genefitz> It is the standard Hauppauge PVR 150. Myth is supposed to work with it, but it doesn't with my system.. SQL doesn't set up right...
[08:24] <dystopianray> philthy: kaffeine
[08:24] <ParaDoX> does anyone know of a way to get the quick function buttons on the keyboard of a laptop to work? (like the volume control, brightness, etc)???
[08:24] <jimmygoon> ^futuro, ok, I'm useless here, hopefully someone else can help. I'm no good w/ HW issues
[08:24] <^futuro> I was search on google
[08:24] <jimmygoon> !sound
[08:24] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[08:24] <genefitz> I think it has to do withy my ECS mobo :::kicks the gateeway computer:::
[08:24] <jimmygoon> !sound | ^futuro
[08:24] <ubotu> ^futuro: please see above
[08:24] <kahrytan> genefitz, Linux support for the WinTV-HVR-1600 is in process. When the WinTV-HVR-1600 is added to the growing list of over 30 supported Hauppauge products with Linux open source drivers, an entry will be made in the LinuxTV.ORG Wiki.
[08:24] <manduski> astro76, even though i port forwarded on the router page
[08:24] <philthy> dystopianray: is that kde only?
[08:24] <dystopianray> philthy: no
[08:24] <philthy> dystopianray: oh, the name seems like it :P haha
[08:25] <arooni> anyone know how to make nvidia-settings detect my second moniotr (its not even listed
[08:25] <genefitz> Cool, good information to know..
[08:25] <kahrytan> genefitz, I got asus board but plan to get gigabyte one
[08:25] <dystopianray> philthy: it is a kde application, but it's certainly not kde only
[08:25] <^futuro> jimmygoon, what's mean?
[08:25] <philthy> dystopianray: oh okay. do you use gnome or kde?
[08:25] <salah> !sound | salah
[08:25] <dystopianray> philthy: kde
[08:25] <^futuro> I'm search for giude
[08:25] <^futuro> guide
[08:25] <genefitz> Kahrytan, with my computer it is a miracle that linux works at all. I went through over 50 distros and Fedora wasthe only one that   seemedto work with it..
[08:25] <jimmygoon> a guide for...? fixing your sound?
[08:25] <jimmygoon> !sound | ^futuro
[08:25] <^futuro> yes
[08:25] <ubotu> ^futuro: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[08:26] <kahrytan> genefitz, Consider new board.
[08:26] <genefitz> The only thing is I can't load nVidia drivers, or I lose my native monitor settings
[08:26] <gerso> i need some help with adding some files to usr/bin
[08:26] <philthy> dystopianray: do you recommend kaffeine for a gnome user then?
[08:26] <astro76> manduski, that also probably won't work from internal
[08:26] <dystopianray> philthy: i guess, it's not too bad
[08:26] <gerso> i am trying to install any2dvd
[08:26] <jimmygoon> ^futuro, follow the instructions that ubotu just gave you. then come back and describe the problem if you are still having it.
[08:26] <dystopianray> philthy: it has pretty good dvb functionality
[08:26] <genefitz> Kahrytan, this week I am building a Linux only computer. Just keep this one for my media center
[08:26] <manduski> astro76, can you nmap me?
[08:26] <^futuro> jimmygoon, thanks
[08:26] <kahrytan> genefitz, Just find out what components you got now and buy board that fits them

[08:27] <doseryder> Hi.  I'm planning on doing dual displays and want to know how to set the DISPLAY environment variable,  suppose I have a dual dvi graphics card, both on the same desktop it'll still be :0.0 right ?
[08:27] <thinh> anyone good at bash?
[08:27] <genefitz> Kahrytan, I would rather just build a second systm, because this one is both my PC and my bedroom TV.
[08:27] <^futuro> in ubuntu i want add one argument tested to me
[08:27] <^futuro> :(
[08:27] <salah> if a application asks for what mixer I use on which line, what should the command be?

[08:28] <^futuro> exuseme for my bad english
[08:28] <kahrytan> genefitz, you use GB-PVR?
[08:28] <dystopianray> thinh: what do you need to do?
[08:28] <genefitz> GB-PVR?
[08:28] <astro76> manduski, all I get is 21/tcp open  ftp
[08:28] <genefitz> I am not sure what you mean..
[08:28] <Sha_ka> onspeed for ubuntu ? help me
[08:28] <kahrytan> genefitz, Windows bases free pvr software.
[08:28] <^futuro> adios
[08:28] <jimmygoon> ^futuro, what is your native language?
[08:28] <thinh> i need to print /bin/* without displaying the information in /bin folder
[08:28] <gerso> help everyone!
[08:28] <astro76> manduski, and I had to use -P0 option, without it it said host seems down
[08:29] <brunotvrs> spanish, i guess lol
[08:29] <dystopianray> thinh: ls /bin
[08:29] <genefitz> Kahrytan, yes, I am using Vista's native drivers and such.
[08:29] <gerso> ...or someone
[08:29] <genefitz> It actually works well.
[08:29] <kahrytan> genefitz, http://www.gbpvr.com/
[08:29] <^futuro> jimmygoon, italian but in my chanel there aren't people
[08:29] <thinh> not using echo "/bin/*"
[08:29] <arooni> wow
[08:29] <arooni> resatarting fixed verything
[08:29] <manduski> astro76, does that mean then? should i use port 21, or does that mean that the router is a piece of crap?
[08:29] <arooni> just like windows
[08:29] <brunotvrs> oh
[08:29] <arooni> ;p
[08:29] <Sha_ka> onspeed for ubuntu ? help me
[08:29] <dystopianray> thinh: you want to literally print out "/bin/*" and you can't use echo?
[08:29] <jimmygoon> ah, well, I'm turning in for the night.
[08:29] <thinh> i am trying to write a script that is looking for * in a argument
[08:29] <thinh> yeah
[08:29] <manduski> astro76, or that the ISP is blocking everything?
[08:30] <astro76> manduski, no on 21... it seems as if your ISP is blocking, if you really want to rule out the router, you'll have to remove it
[08:30] <^futuro> I go to study english
[08:30] <linux1> hiya ppl im have an odd problem ,when every i reboot my box the hdd order get screwed up ,so i have to edit /etc/fstab every time and swap sba for sbc  and idea how to sort this
[08:30] <^futuro> :)
[08:30] <^futuro> I must go
[08:30] <jherrera> is there a way to know why my computer suddenly froze?
[08:30] <dystopianray> thinh: cat <<< "echo /bin/*"
[08:30] <gerso> can someone please help me with moving of file in /usr/bin?
[08:30] <dystopianray> thinh: woops i mean: cat <<< "/bin/*"
[08:30] <genefitz> kahrytan, cool info, I will have to mark this page..
[08:30] <rangans> Guys this is a vista related problem does anybody know how to look at the file system filter (drivers) inside registry. I have booted from ubuntu and have the registry loaded. My filesystem seems corrupted and I would like to disable filesystem drivers
[08:30] <astro76> gerso, what are you trying to do?
[08:30] <thinh> what does  3 arrows mean?
[08:30] <kahrytan> genefitz, It has dozens of plugins like comskip and ability to cut out commercials
[08:31] <^futuro> bye and thanks
[08:31] <dystopianray> rangans: ask in #windows
[08:31] <gerso> astro, i am trying to add a file into /usr/bin
[08:31] <genefitz> Kahrytan, I am looking at that..
[08:31] <genefitz> Hella cool...
[08:31] <gerso> astro, that is the instruction to install this program
[08:31] <jherrera> thinh, you can escape the * symbol
[08:31] <kahrytan> genefitz, It does good job at cutting them
[08:32] <gerso> astro, when i drag the file there it says no permission
[08:32] <rangans> thanks dystopianray, is it there I did not know. Whenever I have a problem all the time I had turned to this channel so did the same thing now. sorry to bother you guys, but figured you guys might know
[08:32] <dystopianray> thinh: it means to put the literal string through stdin, rather than consider it as a filename
[08:32] <genefitz> I like the recording to Divx and Ipod format part.. That would make my life a loteasier..
[08:32] <gerso> any ideas?
[08:32] <genefitz> brb, coffee time..
[08:32] <thinh> cool
[08:32] <brunotvrs> Anyway to use nautilus as super user?
[08:32] <thinh> what does 2 arrows in mean then?
[08:32] <jherrera> thinh, grep \* FILE
[08:32] <gerso> astro76, you there?
[08:32] <dystopianray> brunotvrs: gksudo nautilus
[08:32] <astro76> gerso, are you sure you really want /usr/bin? /usr/local/bin might be more appropriate... either way you'll need to use sudo cp
[08:32] <kahrytan> genefitz, GB-PVR can transcode but experimental
[08:32] <thirst> what does boot option vga=0x317 do ? any url detailing what are the other vga= boot options ?
[08:32] <dystopianray> thinh: google for descriptions fo the various pipe and redirection operators
[08:32] <gerso> let me try that, thanks
[08:33] <brunotvrs> dystopianray, thanks!
[08:33] <thinh> okey thanks i try that
[08:33] <dystopianray> thinh: the vga options depend on your video card
[08:33] <dystopianray> thinh: the vga option is used typically to enable high resolution frame buffers
[08:33] <thirst> dystopianray:  i have a RIVA TNT2 32MB card
[08:33] <kahrytan> genefitz, You can use gui4ffmpeg to do divx.
[08:33] <dystopianray> thinh: sorry ignore what i just said, bloody tab completion
[08:33] <manduski_> astro76, ok i'm connected through the modem only
[08:33] <manduski_> astro76, no router
[08:34] <genefitz> Kahrytan, experimental is what I live for.. :::whispering::: I am a MSDN Subscriber, unstable is where my computer lives...lol
[08:34] <jherrera> ubuntu keeps freezing every now and then (my PC runs all day, but shouldn't be a reason to suddenly freeze), I already searched dmesg for any clue, but nothing
[08:34] <dystopianray> thirst: well i don't have a list of all valid modes for every card memorised, look it up in google
[08:34] <manduski_> can you try making a ssh connection with me?
[08:34] <jherrera> anyone has a way to see why my PC is freezing?
[08:34] <kahrytan> genefitz, that must cost you a bundle
[08:34] <manduski_> astro76, can you try making a ssh connection with me?
[08:34] <astro76> manduski_, your ISP is blocking you :/
[08:35] <manduski_> astro76, still?
[08:35] <manduski_> wow
[08:35] <astro76> manduski_, it's all the same
[08:35] <genefitz> Kahtytan, yes, but it helps..
[08:35] <genefitz> Besides, the company pays for it anyway..
[08:35] <manduski_> astro76, what can i do about this?
[08:35] <astro76> manduski_, I would think taking your business elsewhere is your only option
[08:35] <kahrytan> genefitz, and the pc upgrade costs
[08:35] <thinh> hmm it didnt work
[08:35] <dystopianray> manduski: get a different ISP
[08:36] <thinh> i get this one i use it in a script /bin/arch
[08:36] <manduski_> that's a tough one because cable company doesn't run into the country out here, only DSL
[08:36] <jimmygoon> yeah, it sucks for me. my isp blocks everything and I have no choice. Its this or dialup
[08:36] <Mr_Bomb> dystopianray, I got it working! Thanks for your help :)
[08:36] <dystopianray> thinh: why can't you use cho?
[08:36] <jimmygoon> not even DSL
[08:36] <manduski_> and obviously it's a monopoly
[08:36] <dystopianray> thinh: echo *
[08:36] <genefitz> Kahrytan, yes and no. But hey. as I said before, the company pays for it, and I usually just reap th rewards.. as bad as that sounds...
[08:36] <thinh> the argument doesnt take " "
[08:36] <genefitz> I breaaaaaak stuff so tht others can learn to fix them..
[08:37] <thinh> the argument takes /bin/*
[08:37] <dystopianray> manduski: move to a different country
[08:37] <genefitz> break even.. sorry, skicky keys, Fedora and wireless keyboards don't get along
[08:37] <thinh> and not "/bin/*"
[08:37] <kahrytan> I like beta testing software
[08:37] <doseryder> Hi.  I'm planning on doing dual displays and want to know how to set the DISPLAY environment variable,  suppose I have a dual dvi graphics card, both on the same desktop it'll still be :0.0 right ?
[08:37] <dystopianray> thinh: /bin/* will be expanded by the shell
[08:37] <dystopianray> thinh: it must be quoted
[08:37] <doseryder> What would :1.x or :2.x be?
[08:37] <genefitz> Kahrytan, I agreee, I us Pirates by from time to time..
[08:37] <manduski_> i mean country as in the american country*
[08:38] <kahrytan> genefitz, I was in on the public beta of XP
[08:38] <genefitz> But they have had thier share of legal battles..
[08:38] <arooni> are there any tools to recover files on a ntfs partition?
[08:38] <dystopianray> manduski: move to australia
[08:38] <thinh> is there a way around it?
[08:38] <dystopianray> thinh: no
[08:38] <dystopianray> thinh: just quote the string
[08:38] <genefitz> Kahrytan, I beta's vista, from the alpha to the gold. I think that is the last time though..
[08:39] <manduski_> dystopianray, alll i have to do is move closer to the city where cable is available
[08:39] <gerso> astro76, thank worked great. good lookin out!
[08:39] <genefitz> I would like to leaaaaaaaaave microsoft at  work and be M$ free at home..
[08:39] <manduski_> but i'm out in the boonies
[08:39] <kahrytan> genefitz, I'm gonna go now and play tremulous. Besides, this is o4o for here.
[08:39] <rangans> /unjoin
[08:39] <genefitz> Peace Kahrytan, thanks for the info .
[08:40] <n2diy_is_watchin> how can I set up black on white text?
[08:40] <thinh> what is /tmp/file.$$ means?
[08:40] <mrigns> 
[08:40] <n2diy_is_watchin> correction, white on black text
[08:41] <roshan_s> n2diy_is_watchin: In  Gnome?
[08:42] <Catsceo> does Ubuntu support VIA C3 processors?
[08:42] <doseryder> Hi.  I'm planning on doing dual displays and want to know how to set the DISPLAY environment variable,  suppose I have a dual dvi graphics card, both on the same desktop it'll still be :0.0 right ?
[08:42] <n2diy_is_watchin> roshan_s: yes, I suppose, I'm in black out mode, trying to watch meteors, and the black on white text is blinding. I'd like bash to behave the same way.
[08:42] <doseryder> What would :1.x or :2.x be?
[08:43] <dystopianray> doseryder: try it out and see for yourself what they are
[08:43] <roshan_s> n2diy_is_watchin: Try the "High Constrast Inverse" theme in System > Preferences > Appearances
[08:43] <phobiac> I'm trying to set up ndiswrapper with WPA support. I've got the card's driver installed, wpa_supplicant is running, I'm using wicd to connect to the network. Wicd reports that the computer is connected to the network and the network monitor says that packets are sending and recieving, but I have no internet on the computer. Near as I can tell it isn't actually connected to the network. Anyone know what I should do?
[08:44] <n2diy_is_watchin> roshan_s: roger
[08:44] <dystopianray> phobiac: you can't use network-manager?
[08:45] <phobiac> dystopianray: The network manager in gnome? It doesn't have a WPA option. Only WEP.
[08:45] <philthy> does anyone use songbird? is it stable?
[08:45] <dystopianray> phobiac: it does support wpa
[08:45] <dystopianray> phobiac: if it has no WPA option then either the network itself is not using wpa, or the card doesn't support wpa
[08:46] <Mewbie> hi i need some help is anyone here ?
[08:46] <linux1> hiya ppl how do i get the uuid of a hdd
[08:46] <astro76> !uuid | linux1
[08:46] <ubotu> linux1: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[08:46] <Mewbie> i need help upgrading my computer graphics card
[08:46] <phobiac> dystopianray: The card supports WPA, I know that much because I've seen reports on the forums of people setting it up with WPA.
[08:47] <n2diy_is_watchin> roshan_s: Dapper doesn't have that, but I'll play with it, thanks.
[08:47] <Mewbie> but ive encountered a problem
[08:47] <dystopianray> phobiac: does the network you are trying to use support WPA?
[08:47] <phobiac> dystopianray: It's using WPA2 personal right now, and it works for the two windows laptops on the network.
[08:48] <phobiac> One of which is the one I'm using to talk with you right now, so it supports WPA ;)
[08:48] <linux1> thanks astro76
[08:48] <Mewbie> i have a dell optiplex gx280 and ive installed this new graphics card i bought ATI radeon x800gt problem is when i turn on my computer it lags and freezes even in the bios what should i do
[08:48] <dystopianray> phobiac: network-manager will bring up the WPA password dialog when you click on the network
[08:48] <Networkgamer> how do i mount memory cards in ps3 linux?
[08:48] <phobiac> dystopianray: I've tried that and it only shows WEP
[08:49] <arooni> wow
[08:49] <phobiac> dystopianray: I'm trying to figure out how packets can be being sent and recieved, but there's no internet connection.
[08:49] <stitchmysmile> jesus joesph and doggy style mary I'm still here :|
[08:49] <arooni> dual DVI monitors
[08:49] <Todd_> Has anyone here tried installing Ubuntu 7.04 server onto Virtual Box with XP Pro as the host?
[08:49] <arooni> is reallyg ood!
[08:50] <phobiac> I can't even connect to the router
[08:50] <dystopianray> phobiac: perhaps your attempts at manually setting up wpa_supplicant are messing with network-manager
[08:50] <hackerboy> how do install root files with kdesu or suda. so that i can get privilages to use my applications
[08:51] <roshan_s> n2diy_is_watchin: Perhaps you can try the gnome-themes-extras package
[08:51] <stitchmysmile> phobiac maybe your a complete idiot
[08:51] <phobiac> dystopianray: Unless wcid messes with the wpa_supplicant.conf, it's completely clean.
[08:51] <phobiac> stitchmysmile: I never claimed to know exactly what I was doing, that's kind of why I'm here.
[08:52] <n2diy_is_watchin> roshan_s: roger that, I'm suspecting it is an X issue, plus a bash issue for the cli?
[08:52] <stitchmysmile> lol good answer
[08:52] <dogshoe21> ok I'm back
[08:52] <phobiac> Thank you, I think?
[08:52] <dystopianray> stitchmysmile: there is no need to insult anyone in this channel
[08:53] <roshan_s> n2diy_is_watchin: No, it's simply a matter of selecting a gnome theme. Try art.gnome.org for more. For the CLI, that's a kernel thing, not bash
[08:53] <stitchmysmile> dystop if there is a need I think it is your social skills
[08:53] <manduski_> dystopianray, astro76, thanks for all your help tonight!
[08:53] <dogshoe21> dystopianray, I'm back... you want to check out my tutorial regarding this wireless card issue?
[08:53] <dystopianray> Dogshoe21: sure
[08:53] <dogshoe21> dystopianray, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3175584#post3175584
[08:53] <roshan_s> n2diy_is_watchin: Wait a minute, the CLI is already white-on-black, are you talking about gnome-terminal? Changing the Gnome theme will also change the terminal colours
[08:53] <sauvin> Does anybody know how to make noatun able to play .ape files?
[08:54] <n2diy_is_watchin> roshan_s: roger that, are you sure about the cli/bash? I configure bash colors with ./bashrc.
[08:54] <stitchmysmile> but all is well
[08:54] <astro76> manduski_, you're welcome
[08:55] <dystopianray> Dogshoe21: dont' need to reboot after installing the .inf file
[08:55] <roshan_s> n2diy_is_watchin: It's easier to just change colours in the Gnome terminal. Go to Edit > Profiles, select the default profile and go to the Colours tab
[08:55] <dogshoe21> I figured, I just put down all the steps I took
[08:56] <hackerboy> does anyone konw how to install root files with kdesu or suda. so that i can get privilages to use my applications
[08:56] <fyrestrtr> hackerboy: what are you installing?
[08:56] <dogshoe21> dystopianray, did I write that up ok?
[08:56] <dystopianray> Dogshoe21: yeah it seems fine
[08:57] <daleach> ah got my swap working again
[08:57] <dogshoe21> cool thanks
[08:57] <daleach> had to do mkswap
[08:57] <daleach> and swapon -a
[08:57] <darwin> dystopianray: i've resolved the troubleshooting
[08:57] <smultron> anyone here ever set up a BackupPC server/client?
[08:57] <daleach> apparently its some bug found on some forums
[08:57] <flowbot> anyone know why i would be getting these sata/ata errors? they kinda scare me .... is brand new inspiron 1420 laptop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33417/
[08:58] <darwin> dystopianray: after try get install vmware with, perl script.. i should get an update and after install vmware since the update file named, runme.pl
[08:58] <dystopianray> darwin: so it's working now?
[08:58] <fyrestrtr> flowbot: could just be a case of missing support for your chipset.
[08:58] <darwin> dystopianray: yes
[08:59] <fyrestrtr> flowbot: I wouldn't worry about it.
[08:59] <darwin> dystopianray: the vmware server 1.0.3 not works for ubuntu
[08:59] <hackerboy> fyrestrtr: trying to install adept manager but it keeps saying that "you will not be able to change your system settings in any way, because this application needs special administrator (root) privileges. Please run as root or through kdesu or sudo programs to perform these actions" this is what it says
[08:59] <darwin> you should get an update.tar.gz and unpack.. later run with, runme.pl inside the folder
[09:01] <stitchmysmile> well I'm going to bed
[09:01] <stitchmysmile> you losers have a great night
[09:01] <flowbot> fyrestrtr: any idea what it means by "soft resetting port"?
[09:01] <flowbot> fyrestrtr: so it's probly not saying "your hard drive is gonna die"
[09:02] <smultron_> anyone here set up a BackupPC server/client system?
[09:02] <Mr_Awesome> im currently using xine with totem, but the firefox plugin doesnt seem to want to play movies or sounds in the browser. is there perhaps a better option?
[09:02] <m0u5e> anyone know whats the most efficient file manager while still looking aesthetically pleasing?
[09:02] <fyrestrtr> flowbot: I doubt it; google your exact laptop model and 'linux sata' to see if people have deciphered what it is that it is saying.
[09:02] <flowbot> smultron_: actually, i did recently ... linux backuppc server and three nt4 clients
[09:02] <lpapi> hello all
[09:02] <thirst> trying to get ubuntu7.04 to install on a P3-733Mhz/VIA chipset/RIVA TNT2 32MB/192MB RAM system. Nautilus on live desktop gets stuck on 3rd icon.
[09:03] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: file manager is only as efficient as you are at managing files.
[09:03] <roshan_s> m0u5e: You might try Thunar
[09:03] <smultron_> flowbot: i know it's supposed to be easy, but i'm having a bit of trouble. any chance you could help me out?
[09:03] <flowbot> fyrestrtr: ok, cheers
[09:03] <holy_shit_a_dra1> can anyone help me with compiz-fusion? I've searched the web and read the forums and the manuals but i can't get it to work
[09:03] <flowbot> smultron_: hopefully
[09:03] <towlie> is there software for linux that will let me duplicate a dvd css protected dvd in one step
[09:03] <ameyer> m0u5e: and asthetically pleasing is subjective
[09:03] <towlie> holy_shit_a_dra1, check out #ubuntu-effects
[09:03] <thirst> tried kernel options "noapic nolapic acpi=off pci=noacpi pnpbios=off vga=0x317" i remember FC4 used to work well on this system
[09:03] <flowbot> smultron_: what you getting stuck on?
[09:04] <holy_shit_a_dra1> thanks towlie
[09:04] <m0u5e> roshan_s: i am using thunar thx :D
[09:04] <fyrestrtr> thirst: use the alternate cd.
[09:04] <towlie> holy_shit_a_dra1,  when i set it up i got a lot of help in there
[09:04] <arooni> how do i install pidgin?
[09:04] <ParaDoX> what's a better torrent handler than the bittorrent that comes preinstalled? is there any that can handle multiple torrent downloads at the same time?
[09:04] <smultron_> flowbot: well, i got the server up and running on linux fine with the web interface too. i just can get it to successfully backup my client computer (mac os x).
[09:04] <holy_shit_a_dra1> ?join #ubuntu-effects
[09:04] <fyrestrtr> arooni: download the deb from getdeb
[09:04] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: what i mean, is i want a file manager that's fast
[09:04] <arooni> fyrestrtr, can y ou elaborate?
[09:04] <flowbot> ParaDoX: I'd recommend rtorretn ... commmand line, but best torrent client i've used for linux
[09:04] <arooni> i'm not sure how to do that
[09:04] <bullgard4> How to quit the MySQL monitor program running in a Gnome terminal?
[09:04] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: when i open a folder with lots and lots of small files for example, i want it to display quickly, i want for when i click something to have snappy return
[09:04] <dystopianray> bullgard4: ctrl+d ?
[09:05] <fyrestrtr> arooni: http://www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=1209
[09:05] <thirst> fyrestrtr:  dont have access to an alternate cd. the place i am trying to install only has a dialup internet. Any other ways ?
[09:05] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: what are your system specs?
[09:05] <bullgard4> dystopianray: Yes, it helped. Thank you very much.
[09:05] <Mr_Awesome> anyone have luck with totem/xine/firefox playing movies in the browser?
[09:05] <flowbot> smultron_: hmm ... not too knowledgable about osx, but when you go to back it up, do you get an "ok" response from thee server? if you do, what errors do you get after that?
[09:05] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: 2.8ghz P4, 512Mb ram
[09:05] <fyrestrtr> thirst: sorry, I don't know of any.
[09:05] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: the disk?
[09:06] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: 30gig fujitsu 5400
[09:06] <fyrestrtr> thirst: I always use the alternate install.
[09:06] <flowbot> Paradox: i mean "rtorrent"
[09:06] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: i know my FS has a lot to do with it, but i just want whats most efficient for ext3
[09:06] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: you are running on minimum specs with a slow disk; so expect delays.
[09:06] <smultron_> flowbot: it can find (ping) my computer just fine, it just says "Last error is `fileListRecieve failed'. (mac os x should act just the same as any unix client from what i've read in the documentation)
[09:06] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr:  how is that minimum specs?
[09:06] <flowbot> which backup method are you using?
[09:06] <smultron_> flowbot: rsync
[09:06] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: 5400 is *very* slow for a primary disk. You should have atleast a 7,000+ rpm disk to get 'instant' responses.
[09:07] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: ... most laptop drives are all 5400 :X
[09:07] <flowbot> have you got rsync installed on mac client? i think with rsync method it has to be installed on client and server
[09:07] <yeniklasor> How can I reconfigure my network devices (for my wireless) ?
[09:07] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: it is minimum for what you are asking of the system.
[09:07] <smultron_> flowbot: yes, rsync is default installed on Mac OS X. i even have pre-shared keys setup.
[09:08] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: yes, I know :) Even if you were to change the file system, it would not help in your perception of "speed" (which is, how fast a directory listing comes up).
[09:08] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: I did an experiment -- I install the OS on an old 10,000 RPM SCSI disk (only 30 GB) and /home on a 120 GB SATA. Speed increase was amazing.
[09:08] <flowbot> smultron_: do you get any more info on the error if you click on the link to it?
[09:09] <Questions> hello
[09:09] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: on the same system, if I put everything on the 120 GB SATA, it wasn't as fast.
[09:09] <Questions> can i post a question here please?
[09:09] <lgc> How can I remove old kernel versions from my systems?
[09:09] <arooni> is there some good tool for recovering ntfs files from within ubuntu?
[09:09] <Flannel> lgc: remove the packages with your favorite package manager
[09:09] <smultron_> flowbot: "Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)"
[09:09] <stdin> Questions: that's what the channel is for
[09:09] <lgc> Flannel, hi! Long time no see!
[09:10] <Questions> i just finished kubuntu installation, however i get line command instead of GUI
[09:10] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: there are somethings you can do, as far as file system tweaking, but in your case the biggest performance boost would come from a faster disk.
[09:10] <lgc> Flannel, what's the name of the kernel? Vmlinuz?
[09:10] <Flannel> Questions: Which ISO did you download and use to install?
[09:10] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: im just asking for the best possible speed w/ my hd specs, not asking for the impossible :D
[09:10] <flowbot> smultron_: maybe try tar method if it's available for Mac? just found this page, not sure if it'll have anything that'll help you, but have a look: http://wiki.nerdylorrin.net/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=BackupPC
[09:10] <arooni> how do i recover ntfs files withing having to isntall widnwos
[09:10] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: i know what i can do is limited, but i want to squeeze as much speed as i can out of my system :)
[09:10] <Flannel> lgc: no, linux-image-[version] -arch, and possibly the restricted package aswell
[09:10] <Questions> Flannel : xubuntu-6.10-alternate-powerpc.iso
[09:11] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: you could try different file managers (like thunar); and get something less heavy than gnome (try xfce).
[09:11] <Questions> Flannel : that is the version i installed
[09:11] <smultron_> flowbot: thanks, i'll have a look
[09:11] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: for maximum performance, use the shell :)
[09:11] <Flannel> Questions: xubuntu?  You didn't install Kubuntu then.  Which option in the installer did you pick?
[09:11] <flowbot> smultron_: this bit especially from that page: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33419/
[09:12] <lgc> Flannel, is there a way to know (with aptitude or similar) which versions of the kernel I have installed, instead of having to look at 'menu.lst'?
[09:12] <fyrestrtr> arooni: is the ntfs partition corrupt?
[09:12] <Questions> Flannel : oh yeah, just realised is xubuntu. sorry i felt so stupid
[09:12] <fyrestrtr> lgc: uname -a
[09:12] <Flannel> lgc: Sure, those packages will be installed.
[09:12] <smultron_> flowbot: well, my client is a MacBook Pro with 2GB of RAM... i don't think it's that problem
[09:12] <arooni> fyrestrtr, its even worse than that... partition table is gone
[09:12] <arooni> fyrestrtr, windows xp disk confused me... so i overwrote partitions
[09:12] <fyrestrtr> arooni: aye yaye :(
[09:12] <Questions> Flannel : which option are you referring to?
[09:13] <arooni> fyrestrtr, is that game over?  i just had a bunch of movies + mp3s there
[09:13] <arooni> fyrestrtr, id like to recover if possible
[09:13] <flowbot> smultron_:  you never know ... check out mac's version of top while it's running the backup maybe just to make sure
[09:13] <lgc> fyrestrtr, not quite. I don't mean the *running* kernel version, but every one installed.
[09:13] <Flannel> Questions: when you first boot the CD, you get a menu with a few boot/install options.  Which did you choose?
[09:13] <matthew__> have no fear your god is here
[09:13] <Questions> Flannel : i think i chosed powerpc
[09:13] <smultron_> flowbot: did you setup your install using windows samba shares?
[09:13] <fyrestrtr> lgc: ls -l /boot/vm*
[09:13] <Shaddox> Hi everyone. Why do I get an error "You do not have permission to mount volume 'CNC3'" when I try to put my Command & Conquer 3 disk in my DVD drive?
[09:14] <flowbot> smultron_: yeah ... was quite easier than i expected ...
[09:14] <Flannel> Questions: that wouldn't have been an option.  It wouldve been like "install in text mode, install in OEM mode, boot to first harddrive", stuff like that
[09:14] <flowbot> does mac understand samba?
[09:14] <Jordan_U> arooni, It is probably not possible but see if testdisk sees anything recoverable
[09:14] <fyrestrtr> flowbot: of course.
[09:14] <Flannel> lgc: theyll have packages in your package manager
[09:14] <Jordan_U> flowbot, Yes
[09:14] <smultron_> flowbot: yes, you can enable samba on Mac OS X
[09:14] <flowbot> smultron_: try that out then
[09:14] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: im using xubuntu, doesnt it already use thunar and xfce4?
[09:14] <matthew__> <bows to mac users
[09:14] <fyrestrtr> flowbot: its bsd that claims windows interoperabilty. Unless Apple completely rewrote CIFS and NetBIOS, they would be using samba ;)
[09:14] <Questions> Flannel : i didn't get that tho, all i saw was a line that said boot: and i pressed enter
[09:15] <smultron_> flowbot: hm, maybe i'll just go ahead and try out a Windows client since that's what it's ultimately going to be used for.  I was just using my Mac as a test machine
[09:15] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: ive already noticed a drastic speed increase from ubuntu and gnome
[09:15] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: I'm not sure -- but probably. Haven't used xfce in a while.
[09:15] <Flannel> Questions: Alright, that's good enough.  You should still have a GUI though.  Even with xubuntu
[09:15] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: for more oomph, try fluxbox ;)
[09:15] <RobertWHurst> sorry to interupt but when someone has the time can they please give me a hand, i'm having an issue with my resolutions, the ones that are available are much to low, right now i'm stuck on a 800x600 screen. by the way i'm useing gnome
[09:15] <flowbot> smultron_: ah, yeah ... just go for it
[09:15] <Snakedude> Hey people, sorry this really off topic but i dont know any rooms that discuss my dilema, im doing an assignment and have to produce a structured diagram, could someone please help me?
[09:15] <Questions> Flannel : then it prompted me to a series of questions
[09:15] <JavierGarza> hi, how to change my bootscreen?
[09:15] <fyrestrtr> !fixres > RobertWHurst
[09:15] <philthy> how can i let banshee accept parentheses and bracket in file names?
[09:15] <JavierGarza> hi, how to change my image*bootscreen?
[09:15] <fyrestrtr> RobertWHurst: check the message from the bot and see if those links help you.
[09:15] <Questions> Flannel : and i followed the steps till it finished with the installation
[09:15] <lgc> fyrestrtr, thanks. That helped.
[09:16] <Jordan_U> Snakedude, What exactly are you trying to make?
[09:16] <Shaddox> Why do I get an error "You do not have permission to mount volume 'CNC3'" when I try to put my Command & Conquer 3 disk in my DVD drive?
[09:16] <Snakedude> well, ive got to design a program
[09:16] <JavierGarza> hi, how to change my image*bootscreen?
[09:16] <Snakedude> i have to use a logic depiction
[09:16] <Flannel> !repeat | JavierGarza, Shaddox
[09:16] <ubotu> JavierGarza, Shaddox: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[09:16] <matthew__> robert try ctrl alt backspace
[09:16] <Snakedude> so im using the flowchart method
[09:16] <arooni> Jordan_U, i loaded testdisk up
[09:16] <Snakedude> http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z101/goneburger/structureddiagram-1.jpg
[09:16] <Snakedude> thats my diagram ^
[09:16] <arooni> Jordan_U, but i dont see the drive in question
[09:17] <Shaddox> People in this room are just so wonderfully helpful. -.-
[09:17] <Snakedude> i just need someone to take a look, and tell me what they think of the logic?
[09:17] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: do you know anything about why the flash-nonfree plugin is slow as all crap? :(
[09:17] <Snakedude> its only a small project
[09:17] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: are you using accelerated drivers?
[09:17] <Billy> !bash | billy
[09:17] <Flannel> Snakedude: that's offtopic here.  Please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic (I know you already did)
[09:17] <Questions> Flannel : at this stage i get a line command asking me for login "ubuntu 6.10 ubuntu ttt1"
[09:17] <fyrestrtr> Snakedude: #ubuntu-offtopic please
[09:17] <Snakedude> ok
[09:17] <JavierGarza> hi, how to change my image*bootscreen? dude i need help
[09:18] <Flannel> Questions: alright, well, login, and try `sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop`
[09:18] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: i have no idea :X
[09:18] <Questions> Flannel : ok, thanks i will try that now
[09:18] <ameyer> m0u5e: perhaps your computer is a bit on the slow side...
[09:18] <masterloki> @_@
[09:18] <m0u5e> ameyer: it is :D
[09:18] <JavierGarza> Flannel, How to change my bootscreen ??
[09:18] <ameyer> my 7 year old laptop doesn't like flash much either
[09:18] <jestar> exit
[09:18] <philthy> how can i let banshee accept parentheses and bracket in file names?
[09:18] <Cufaf> how can i update my amsn. i use Ubuntu 7.04.
[09:18] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: ive noticed (for example on youtube) that whenever flash videos are running, firefox slows to a crawl, and it impacts all my other apps
[09:19] <Questions> Flannel : i got a response, couldn't find package xubuntu-desktop
[09:19] <Flannel> JavierGarza: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[09:19] <JavierGarza> Flannel , Thanks
[09:19] <Flannel> Questions: thats... interesting.  Alright, try `sudo apt-get update`
[09:19] <bullgard4> dystopianray: My first steps in phpAdMin and MySQL. I have managed to add a user and his password. I reopened phpMyAdmin. For learning purposes, is there a table already existing which I could modify similar to MS-Access' Northwind?
[09:19] <Questions> Flannel : will do now
[09:20] <matthew__> anyone know where i can get free porn with ubuntu ?
[09:20] <lgc> Flannel, 'aptitude remove linux-image-...' also took care of the corresponding menu.lst entry! How neat!
[09:20] <Jordan_U> Snakedude, Seems sound, any reason why the score of 80 is hard coded?
[09:20] <Questions> Flannel : reading package list ... done
[09:20] <smultron_> flowbot: did you use NetBIOS names or static IPs?
[09:20] <Flannel> Questions: and try the xubuntu install thing again
[09:20] <ToddEDM> damn beryl has alot of configurations
[09:20] <Cufaf> Flannel:  can u help me :S i update my amsn but. now amsn warning. need TSL install. how can i install tsl..my sistem is Ubuntu7.04
[09:21] <poison> hey guys, is it the same cable for harddrives as cd-rom drives? (IDE hard drives)
[09:21] <faileas> yeah
[09:21] <ToddEDM> yes
[09:21] <ameyer> if the cdrom is IDE
[09:21] <Flannel> Cufaf: nope, sorry.  I know nothing of MSN
[09:21] <faileas> yeah
[09:21] <poison> mkay
[09:21] <flowbot> smultron_: netbios names ... probly make sure you got the dhcp flag off
[09:21] <Cufaf> piffff tyl
[09:21] <ameyer> if it's a SATA CDROM it uses the same cable as a SATA HD
[09:21] <poison> its not sata
[09:21] <smultron_> flowbot: how do you set (or find) your netbios names in windows?
[09:22] <Jordan_U> lgc, Every time you install or remove a kernel the command "update-grub" is run, this is important to know as if you edit your menu.list incorrectly by hand your changes might be reverted by update-grub, but more importantly it is interesting :)
[09:22] <poison> but, should I use master or slave?
[09:22] <Questions> Flannel : wow, alot of lines, yeah is asking for my cd now - thanks
[09:22] <flowbot> smultron_: using xp?
[09:22] <lgc> Flannel, but what's this crap about 'root=UUID=5c8e2...." my menu.lst ended up with with the compliments of my upgrade to Edgy? It also poisoned my formerly neat-and-simple /etc/fstab file!
[09:22] <matthew__> master for hd I'd say
[09:22] <smultron_> flowbot: yes
[09:22] <buntunub> !bios
[09:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bios - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:22] <flowbot> smultron_: right-click on My Computer, and select properties ...
[09:22] <Flannel> !uuid | lgc
[09:22] <ubotu> lgc: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[09:22] <Jordan_U> !uuid | lgc
[09:23] <poison> Matthew the HDD's on that comp is sata
[09:23] <flowbot> smultron_: somewhere in there ... i'll just go over to my windows box
[09:23] <matthew__> so what are the options ?
[09:23] <poison> matthew__: slave or master
[09:23] <matthew__> I'd go with master
[09:23] <buntunub> hi, if my computer vendor does not have a bios update, is there anywhere else i could find one
[09:23] <poison> oki
[09:24] <lgc> Flannel, Jordan_U, I read it and didn't grasp much of it....:(!
[09:24] <flowbot> smultron_: go into Computer Name tab ...
[09:24] <cjae> is there a way to redirect dmesg to a file
[09:24] <matthew__> Ive had systems that wouldn't boot when all were connected to the same ribbon :-s
[09:24] <Jordan_U> lgc, Read what?
[09:24] <cjae> dmesg > /home/user/file
[09:24] <lgc> Jordan_U, the link.
[09:24] <Jordan_U> cjae, use ">" to redirect stdout to a file
[09:24] <smultron_> flowbot: thanks
[09:25] <flowbot> smultron_: and click Change near the "change the computer name or join a domain" (something like that)
[09:25] <smultron_> flowbot: oh ok
[09:25] <Flannel> lgc: instead of using the /dev/drive, we've moved to using UUIDs, which are exact things, and if you swap drves around or anything (some BIOSes ahve problems with it), you're still good with all your drives.  It makes it more robust
[09:25] <cjae> Jordan_U, dmesg is my boot mesg right
[09:25] <flowbot> smultron_: and there you see Computer Name .. that is netbios name ... keep it the same or change it .... good luck ;)
[09:26] <kdeuser^> I need help with bluetooth on my latop
[09:26] <kdeuser^> laptop *
[09:27] <cjae> Jordan_U, I need to see what failed during boot mainly firestarter I think cause when I go to log out  I can see a fail instead of ok before the ubuntu screen comes up
[09:27] <kdeuser^> The blackberry sees it but asks for a passkey...
[09:27] <Jordan_U> lgc, It also means that you can do interesting things like move a bootable drive to anther computer and have it still find and mount / correctly
[09:27] <lgc> Jordan_U, what is a UUID, to begin with? (I mean a short description, and not a rtfm-like answer!).
[09:27] <kdeuser^> and asks me to set it in paired up mode
[09:27] <kdeuser^> how do I do that ?
[09:27] <Enselic> lgc: it's a unique identifier for partitions
[09:27] <Enselic> lgc: a unique name for /dev/sda1 for example
[09:28] <ameyer> lgc: trust me, you don't want to remove the UUIDs if you ever want to run feisty
[09:28] <Enselic> lgc: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[09:28] <matthew__> <blames gas on ubuntu
[09:28] <Jordan_U> lgc, It is sort of like a checksum for disks, it creats a key ( the UUID ) that will correspond to only one value ( drive )
[09:28] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: remember what I said about minimum specs?
[09:28] <matthew__> * what
[09:28] <Enselic> ameyer: why should he remove UUIDs and from where?
[09:29] <lgc> Enselic, ameyer, Jordan_U , I'm overwhelmed!
[09:29] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: another 512 stick would do wonders for you.
[09:29] <Jordan_U> lgc, It is a magical value that keeps things from breaking :)
[09:30] <lgc> Jordan_U, for starters, when I upgraded to Edgy it did away with my swap entry on fstab so I -still- have no swap available.
[09:30] <ameyer> Enselic: he shouldn't
[09:30] <smultron_> flowbot: how do i check what my samba setting are on linux? like what workgroup it's set to...?
[09:30] <ameyer> Enselic: it'll make feisty mess up on his system if he does
[09:30] <Enselic> ameyer: ah, sorry
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> lgc: just activate it?
[09:31] <matthew__> just do it man
[09:31] <ameyer> Enselic: not immediately, but when he upgrades to gutsy
[09:31] <ameyer> Enselic: erm, feisty
[09:31] <lgc> fyrestrtr, 'swapon -a' won't do the trick.
[09:31] <flowbot> smultron_: in xubuntu you go to application menu > system > shared folders ... second tab ... probly much the same in gnome, if that's what you're using
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> lgc: you do have a swap partition, right?
[09:31] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: can't, at the most i can only upgrade to 768, and its just not worth it on this notebook
[09:31] <Jordan_U> lgc, Obviously it shouldn't have done that, you can use the old entry if you have a backup ( /dev/xxx still works for the most part ) or add the line in yourself ( either way I suggest using a UUID instead of /dev/xxx though )
[09:32] <smultron_> flowbot: oh yeah, i remember that now
[09:32] <Jordan_U> lgc, In your fstab that is
[09:32] <dogshoe21> Beryl question, I have it installed, how do I get it started?
[09:32] <dogshoe21> is there a command I need to run?
[09:32] <flowbot> smultron_: not sure if you need "this computer is a WINS server" checked or not, but i don't think you do
[09:32] <lgc> Jordan_U, I got that part, but how do I get the UUID of the swap partition?
[09:32] <Jordan_U> dogmeat, beryl-manager IIRC
[09:32] <fyrestrtr> dogshoe21: try in #ubuntu-effects
[09:32] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: is it just that the flash plugin sucks? cause i could do youtube fine on XP :(
[09:33] <kevor> Good morning evveryone!
[09:33] <kevor> free people :)
[09:33] <MARIUSmarius> anybody knows, how to save nvidia setings for startup?
[09:33] <ameyer> m0u5e: how old is your  computer?
[09:33] <kevor> hmm
[09:33] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: not really, as I have no issues here with flash9, but I have 1 GB ram.
[09:33] <m0u5e> ameyer: its a dell 1150 inspiron :X
[09:33] <lgc> fyrestrtr, of course I do (or at least I used to before Edgy).
[09:33] <Jordan_U> lgc, Do you know what the swap partion in the /dev/xxx format?
[09:33] <kevor> Does anyone know a commandline program to clean filenames of chinese chars, slashes, ( thingies and such?
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> lgc: then just add the entry in /etc/fstab then sudo mount -a
[09:34] <^futuro> I love all girls
[09:34] <^futuro> :)
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> kevor: sounds like a job for sed or a perl one-liner (google perl one liner)
[09:34] <lgc> Jordan_U, more or less, but I can always run cfdisk or whatever.
[09:35] <^futuro> jimmygoon, hi
[09:35] <kevor> fyrestrtr: that's nice, but i need certain words removed too :)
[09:35] <jimmygoon> ^futuro, hi again
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> lgc: fdisk -l /dev/yourdisk should tell you what you have
[09:35] <Jordan_U> lgc, Then run "blkid" and look for the line for that drive, or run " blkid | grep /dev/xxx"
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> kevor: try man rename
[09:35] <ameyer> m0u5e: probably ATI graphics driver issues (I haven't looked it up, but I'd bet it has ATI graphics)
[09:35] <^futuro> jimmygoon, in this time I've solve the problem on my scrool screen
[09:35] <kevor> :|
[09:35] <^futuro> :)
[09:35] <m0u5e> ameyer: it has intel i845GM :D
[09:35] <jimmygoon> you have solved them?
[09:35] <jimmygoon> good
[09:36] <m0u5e> ameyer: for worse or better lol
[09:36] <^futuro> I working now
[09:36] <Jordan_U> m0u5e, What problem are you having?
[09:36] <m0u5e> ameyer: better cause its intel, worse cause its integrated and sucks :(
[09:36] <m0u5e> Jordan_U: every time i play flash videos (on youtube i.e.) its slow and laggy
[09:36] <lgc> Jordan_U, 'blkid' messes up my term!
[09:36] <^futuro> jimmygoon, Can I scan for know chipset of my sound card?
[09:36] <khermans_> packages.ubuntu.com is down
[09:36] <ameyer> m0u5e: actually, my desktop has some i845 variant, and it's not that bad
[09:37] <jimmygoon> ^futuro, I have no idea. I'm bad with hardware
[09:37] <Jordan_U> lgc, That is strange, it shouldn't output any control characters. In what way does it mess it up?
[09:37] <fyrestrtr> ^futuro: your sound card only has one chipset.
[09:37] <lgc> Jordan_U, (though I get a readable UUID for my swap device).
[09:37] <ameyer> m0u5e: it's bad for gaming and heavy duty gaming, but it shouldn't be screwing up video
[09:37] <m0u5e> ameyer: i have no idea then, cause flash has just been ridiculously slow and i dont know why, both on epiphany and firefox
[09:37] <ameyer> m0u5e: what processor and how much RAM?
[09:37] <m0u5e> ameyer: maybe its something else then? when i was running XP i could have like 10 youtubes open all at once :X
[09:37] <^futuro> fyrestrtr, maybe sond card is Cirrus Logic
[09:37] <lgc> Jordan_U, the output. After a while it just dumps garbage.
[09:37] <m0u5e> ameyer: intel p4 2.8ghz 512Mb
[09:38] <^futuro> but, I must scan
[09:38] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: do you have direct rendering?
[09:38] <ameyer> fyrestrtr: he/she should
[09:38] <^futuro> for know the exactly name
[09:38] <Jordan_U> lgc, Now add a line like this to your fstab "UUID=<the actual UUID goes here>none swap sw 0 0"
[09:38] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: maybe... how would i know / turn it on? :X
[09:39] <cjae> Jordan_U, how can I tell if firestarter is running right now
[09:39] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: glxinfo | grep direct
[09:39] <PanzerMKZ> got a new dvd burner. hdparm says it is set to mdma2 I would like to change that to udma5 how would I go about that?
[09:39] <Jordan_U> lgc, With a space before none
[09:39] <MasterShrek> anyone know how to get the uuid of a usb device? specifically my psp?
[09:39] <ameyer> m0u5e: I'm guessing something is running in the background eating your megahurtz
[09:39] <Jordan_U> cjae, ps aux | grep firestarter
[09:39] <m0u5e> ameyer: yes i have DR
[09:39] <^futuro> for example, my modem I have scan with scanModem
[09:39] <^futuro> tools
[09:40] <^futuro> and for sound card?
[09:40] <fyrestrtr> MasterShrek: tail -f /var/log/messages then unplug and replug it.
[09:40] <Supavisah> has anyone managed to get screamer radio to work on Ubuntu under WINE? I tried some resources, but no luck, also how can I made Ubuntu look better without beryl, or compiz
[09:40] <ameyer> m0u5e: could you run a top and see if anything is hogging your cpu?
[09:40] <fyrestrtr> Supavisah: for the second part, get some themes.
[09:40] <Supavisah> Where fyrestrtr?
[09:40] <fyrestrtr> Supavisah: gnome-look.org
[09:40] <Supavisah> Thank you.
[09:40] <ameyer> m0u5e: I've heard reports of trackerd eating excessive CPU cycles
[09:40] <hackerboy> does anyone know how to get linux and windows together
[09:41] <fyrestrtr> hackerboy: lots of adult beverages
[09:41] <Jordan_U> !dual boot | hackerboy
[09:41] <ubotu> hackerboy: Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookProFeisty
[09:41] <Supavisah> This is pretty cool, I'm running mIRC under WINE :P
[09:41] <m0u5e> ameyer: hmm firefox is highest using 4-7.5% of cpu :/
[09:41] <m0u5e> ameyer: besides that no... (what's trackerd?)
[09:41] <lgc> Jordan_U, I was wrong: the swap entry DOES exist on the fstab file. Only it doesn't seem to work: swapon: /dev/disk/by-uuid/d02b56cf-4850-4b47-84c0-7aa5c948be85: Invalid argument.
[09:41] <mildner> how can I repair gDesklets
[09:41] <Questions> Flannel : are you still there?
[09:42] <MasterShrek> fyrestrtr, nothing showed up during that
[09:42] <^futuro> see later
[09:42] <smultron_> flowbot: ok, i just tried to backup from my Windows box and i get "error: no files dumped for share C$"
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> MasterShrek: sudo apt-get install usbmon and run that.
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> MasterShrek: or try lsusb
[09:42] <ameyer> m0u5e: it's some indexing thing
[09:42] <m0u5e> ameyer: this is a pretty clean xubuntu install, so theres not much random stuff on here yet
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: you have bigger issues, my firefox only uses 1% CPU
[09:43] <Questions> i have finished with apt-get xbuntu desktop, what's next?
[09:43] <jon_> Can anybody help me out with eterm? I need to remove the top menu bar
[09:43] <m0u5e> i have 11 tabs open :(
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> jon_: try #eterm :)
[09:43] <ameyer> m0u5e: to be honest, my desktop has a Celeron 2.4 GHz with 512 MB of RAM, and some i845 variant, and youtube "just works"
[09:43] <pantic> would anyone help me figure out the problem with my graphics, ubuntu identifys the device but just wont apply it
[09:43] <matthew__> <has had 39 tabs open in firfox once lol
[09:43] <jon_> fyrestrtr: i dont think eterm is on this server
[09:44] <matthew__> lol bbc news lol
[09:44] <hackerboy> jordan_U: do i download dual boot
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> hrmm, could have sworn it was here.
[09:44] <Jordan_U> Supavisah, Also try installing gnome-art which is an application that lets you easily preview and install themes from art.gnome.org
[09:44] <ameyer> I've had over 60 open on my lappy with 128 MB of RAM while... umm... browsing pictures
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> or wait ... maybe that was rxvt
[09:44] <cjae> Jordan_U, showed nothing
[09:44] <ameyer> that's a bit... painful
[09:44] <Jordan_U> hackerboy, Look at the link from ubotu
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> ameyer: sudo apt-get install pornview
[09:44] <ameyer> indeed
[09:44] <lgc> Jordan_U, ?
[09:44] <ameyer> sort of
[09:45] <ameyer> fyrestrtr: that might not work so well when the pictures are on a remote server
[09:45] <pantic> anyone with my problem
[09:45] <pantic> any ideas
[09:45] <pantic> it used to be fine untill i was trying to make my other screen work on serial port
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> ameyer: hrmm, point. wget ;)
[09:45] <Jordan_U> cjae, It showed absolutely no output?
[09:46] <cjae> Jordan_U, yes
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> jon_: try http://www.eterm.org/docs/faq/#7
[09:47] <jon_> fyrestrtr: thanks =)
[09:48] <Jordan_U> cjae, for ps aux | grep firestarter ?
[09:48] <ameyer> m0u5e: which xubuntu version?
[09:48] <cjae> Jordan_U, I am sure there is an issue with firestarter just not good enough to config iptables byself
[09:48] <matthew__> I'm bored anyone that can boot ubuntu have any cool software ?
[09:48] <arooni> do they have picasa or something nice for viewing /managing my photos?
[09:48] <cjae> Jordan yes
[09:48] <Jordan_U> cjae, That is pretty much impossible
[09:48] <lgc> Flannel, do you have an idea why my swap device doesn
[09:48] <m0u5e> ameyer: 7.04 feisty
[09:48] <kahrytan> arooni, Picasa is available for linux
[09:48] <lgc> Flannel, do you have an idea why my swap device doesn't get recognized?
[09:48] <Jordan_U> cjae, It should at least find the grep command itself
[09:48] <ameyer> m0u5e: well, there goes my theory
[09:48] <arooni> kahrytan, how do i get it
[09:49] <kahrytan> arooni, Google :)
[09:49] <cjae> Jordan don't know what happened but pressed up and repeated command and worked
[09:49] <Jordan_U> lgc, What is the exact line in your fstab?
[09:49] <kahrytan> arooni, But F-Spot is good
[09:49] <flowbot> smultron_: ah, i think i had that error, too - have you got a password for the administrative account? you'll also need to add your windows administrator to account to smbpasswd
[09:49] <m0u5e> ameyer: it did the same thing when i was running ubuntu
[09:49] <arooni> its not part or package manger?
[09:49] <m0u5e> ameyer: its weird :(
[09:49] <ameyer> m0u5e: dapper had (I believe) flash 7, which was terrible on linux, but since you're running feisty, that's not the issue
[09:49] <Supavisah> What is the best theme manager?
[09:49] <smultron_> flowbot: where is "smbpasswd"?
[09:50] <flowbot> smultron_: you *must* have a password set on the windows administrative account
[09:50] <flowbot> smultron_: um
[09:50] <m0u5e> ameyer: how do i config flash settings / check what ver of flash im using?
[09:50] <lgc> Jordan_U, # /dev/sda7 -- converted during upgrade to edgy
[09:50] <lgc> UUID=d02b56cf-4850-4b47-84c0-7aa5c948be85 none swap sw 0 0 .
[09:50] <gerso> hello room
[09:50] <Jordan_U> !best | Supavisah
[09:50] <ubotu> Supavisah: 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.
[09:50] <cjae> Jordan_U, so what exactly does this command entail
[09:50] <smultron_> flowbot: so setup a password if i don't have one already?
[09:50] <flowbot> smultron_: yep
[09:50] <MARIUSmarius> where ca ni find simple feisty themes, not emerald
[09:50] <m0u5e> ameyer: are there any configurable settings for the intel i815/845/855 models?
[09:50] <ameyer> m0u5e: stupid question, what's your load average look like?
[09:50] <Supavisah> ok ubotu what's the one you like the most then?
[09:50] <kahrytan> arooni, F-Spot is installed by default on ubuntu
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> MARIUSmarius: gnome-look.org
[09:50] <kahrytan> arooni, http://picasa.google.com/linux/
[09:51] <m0u5e> ameyer: how would i find out? :X
[09:51] <gerso> i need some help on the mount command
[09:51] <ameyer> m0u5e: as far as I know, neither the i810 driver nor the flash player is particularly configurable
[09:51] <Jordan_U> cjae, ps aux displays all running processes, the | pipes that output to grep which displays all of the lines in that output that contain the word firestarter
[09:51] <flowbot> smultron_: then to add the windows users to samba on linux, do something like this: 'smbpasswd -a <windows_username>'
[09:51] <gerso> anyone familiar with this command?
[09:51] <cjae> Jordan I c
[09:51] <ameyer> m0u5e: open a terminal and run "uptime", it's the last 3 numbers
[09:51] <cjae> opps
[09:51] <Jordan_U> Supavisah, gnome-art
[09:51] <flowbot> smultron_: then, 'smbpasswd -e <windows_username>' ... and then restart samba
[09:51] <Supavisah> I've been there...
[09:51] <Supavisah> but it DOESNT answer my question.
[09:52] <gerso> help with mount command please
[09:52] <Jordan_U> Supavisah, No, it is a package, install it with Add/remove
[09:52] <astro76> !ask | gerso
[09:52] <ubotu> gerso: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:52] <kahrytan> gerso, whats wrong
[09:52] <flowbot> smultron_: but that might more be for accessing your linux box from windows ... most of all, make sure you've shared the windows directories you want to back up
[09:52] <m0u5e>  00:52:22 up 11:11,  2 users,  load average: 0.32, 0.33, 0.55 (2 users as in me and su right?)
[09:52] <pantic> damn it could someone suggest what i should do
[09:53] <ameyer> m0u5e: something like that
[09:53] <gerso> i am trying to mount a drive but with read and write permission
[09:53] <ameyer> m0u5e: you could run a who to see who's logged in
[09:53] <kahrytan> gerso, What format?
[09:53] <Jordan_U> gerso, What FS?
[09:53] <flowbot> smultron_: and that you've got a password on your windows administrative account ... you'll have to share your whole C: drive if that's what you want to back up
[09:53] <gerso> ext2
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> pantic: what is the issue?
[09:53] <cjae> Jordan_U, whar happened to dmesg did they change it in fiesty
[09:53] <kahrytan> Jordan_U, Like he would know GS
[09:53] <kahrytan> FS
[09:53] <smultron_> flowbot: ok, this is making more sense now
[09:53] <thirst> hi guys.. any tips for installing ubuntu on P3 system with VIA chipset mainboard..
[09:54] <gerso> should i use a different format if i am using the drive just to store random files?
[09:54] <ameyer> m0u5e: that looks a bit high, unless you're doing something with a decent amount of processor usage and/or I/O
[09:54] <gerso> kahrytan ext2 format
[09:54] <Jordan_U> kahrytan, Why wouldn't he?
[09:54] <kahrytan> gerso, What format? NTFS or EXT3?
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> thirst: use the alternate install cd.
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> thirst: how much ram?
[09:54] <Jordan_U> kahrytan, He already said ext2
[09:54] <gerso> kahrytan, sry ext3
[09:54] <m0u5e> ameyer: i get a user (:0           2007-08-11 13:41 user pts/0        2007-08-11 23:59 (:0.0))
[09:54] <kahrytan> gerso, You try mounting it yet?
[09:54] <gerso> i did
[09:54] <thirst> fyrestrtr:  no access to alternate cd..:( 192MB RAM
[09:55] <ameyer> m0u5e: that's probably your X session
[09:55] <Par-Due> I'm trying to get the latest freetype fonts and other experimental fonts on my amd64 system. Anyone have a working repo for those?
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> thirst: ubuntu is going to be quite sluggish.
[09:55] <kahrytan> gerso, and ?
[09:55] <Jordan_U> gerso, You may need to give your user access to the files with chown or chmod
[09:55] <gerso> kahrytan it mounts but a folder saying lost + found shows up in there
[09:55] <cjae> Jordan_U, so if I have output tis running so how can I check what is started during boot
[09:55] <m0u5e> ameyer: i have gaim, a few thunar windows, firefox (11 tabs w/ 2 youtube), gqview, thunderbird, xchat-gnome, and xsmbrowser all open
[09:55] <m0u5e> ameyer: i dunno why my load is so high :(
[09:55] <thirst> fyrestrtr:  winXP runs fine on the system..
[09:55] <ameyer> m0u5e: it's not that high
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: I'll give you a clue -- 512 RAM :P
[09:56] <gerso> kahrytan pardon my noobiness but how do i use chown or chmod?
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> thirst: then install winxp :)
[09:56] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: as i said, i can't change that without buying more ram, and it wouldnt be worthwhile :(
[09:56] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: im getting a new dell XPS 1310M though, itll be awesome :D
[09:56] <thirst> fyrestrtr:  yup.. that is already there..:) wanted to install Ubuntu too..
[09:56] <punto> Hi.. does ubuntu have an 'unstable' repository? I think I'm on 'fiesty' now, but it has a bunch of broken stuff and nothing ever gets updated
[09:56] <jetscreamer> you type man in front of them, gerso
[09:56] <ameyer> m0u5e: how much RAM does "free -m" say you're using
[09:57] <kahrytan> gerso, You could just right click on folder and open properties
[09:57] <fyrestrtr> punto: what is broken?
[09:57] <Evil_Monkey> question - what does the ubufox extension/package do to firefox?
[09:57] <DFM> I need to resize my primary hdc1 to shrink it. I have booted Knoppix and launched QTparted. It won't let me select the resize option.
[09:57] <cjae> Jordan_U, also I edited menu.lst and took out quiet so why do I get the ubuntu boot screen

[09:57] <gerso> kahrytan i says i am not owner
[09:57] <Jordan_U> cjae, You need to remove splash to not get the usplash
[09:57] <fyrestrtr> punto: is this a fresh install or an upgrade?
[09:58] <Par-Due> I'm trying to get the latest freetype fonts and other experimental fonts on my amd64 system. Anyone have a working repo for those?
[09:58] <kahrytan> gerso, You made the directory as root?
[09:58] <cjae> Jordan_U, so whats quiet
[09:58] <ameyer> fyrestrtr, m0u5e: swapping's not really the issue here it doesn't seem to me
[09:58] <kahrytan> gerso, technically, sudo
[09:58] <punto> fyrestrtr: fresh from a dvd I got, then upgrade (but I didn't chage anything on sources.list)
[09:58] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: yeah, i only see my swap go up when im using stuff like gimp, etc
[09:58] <gerso> kahrytan oh ok let me do that
[09:58] <TyphoidHippo> Hello all - Is there an easy way to use a partition of a hard drive as if it was a CD-Rom for the purpose of installing ubuntu?  I have a laptop with no optical drive, so I want to put it's hard drive in another laptop, and put the ubuntu livecd on a ~700 meg partition, and use that to install.  Sorry this is so long...
[09:59] <Jordan_U> gerso, To make yourself the owner of the files you could run "sudo chown yourusername:yourusername -r /path/to/files" to do it with the GUI run "gksudo nautilus" and navigate to the folder right click it and go to properties
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> punto: what is broken with xine ?
[09:59] <ameyer> fyrestrtr, m0u5e: actually, it could be the issue\] 
[09:59] <kahrytan> gerso, You know, there is a Disk Mounter Applet
[09:59] <m0u5e> ameyer: which could be the issue?
[09:59] <stdin> TyphoidHippo: look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromHardDriveWithFloppies
[09:59] <cwillu> TyphoidHippo:  there's a somewhat experimental installer that lets you install to a file in the windows file system, and convert it after
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> m0u5e: since you have a slow disk, and your ram is pretty much maxed out, you might be getting a lot of swap thrashing; but that's just a guess.
[09:59] <punto> fyrestrtr: segfaults
[09:59] <ameyer> fyrestrtr: he's not that maxed out
[10:00] <Jordan_U> cjae, Quiet makes less output when booting, but it doesn't matter if you can't see any of the output anyways :)
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> punto: are you on 64 or 32
[10:00] <T-Connect> Is there a cool black logon screen for Ubuntu that I can use? The orange is too bright.
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> ameyer: for all intents and purposes, it is maxed out.
[10:00] <thirst> fyrestrtr:  is there a way to install ubuntu without actually loading the live desktop .. like directly using text mode ?
[10:00] <ameyer> fyrestrtr: his used swap + used RAM < his avaliable RAM
[10:00] <punto> fyrestrtr: so does azureus. artsd runs, but uses 100% of the cpu when it uses alsa
[10:00] <gerso> Jordan_U, where do i get gksudo if i don't have it?
[10:00] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: even though it says 7Mb free, my xubuntu tells me that im only using around 315MB, and that the rest is reserved
[10:00] <punto> fyrestrtr: 64 bit
[10:00] <Jordan_U> gerso, You have it :)
[10:00] <smultron_> flowbot: http://pastebin.com/d7ef7e82f
[10:00] <m0u5e> fyrestrtr: my swap is very very low right now :X
[10:00] <lgc> Jordan_U, did you see something strange on my fstab file?
[10:00] <sugakushuto> I keep getting a busybox error on booting the CD
[10:00] <Jordan_U> gerso, Unless you are using kubuntu
[10:00] <TyphoidHippo> stdin and cwillu: I have no Windows or floppy drive for this computer...think I could maybe use something like clonezilla to clone the cd to a partition?  Maybe it's worth a shot....
[10:01] <ameyer> m0u5e: that's the way Linux does RAM
[10:01] <T-Connect> Azurus sucks because it can't use the newer java.
[10:01] <cwillu> TyphoidHippo: what do you have?
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> punto: that could be the root cause; a lot of things need special attention in 64bit.
[10:01] <sugakushuto> /bin/sh: cant access tty: job control turned off (initramfs)
[10:01] <sugakushuto> knoppix and 6.06 will boot but not feisty
[10:01] <Jordan_U> lgc, I missed where you showed your fstab, could you repost it?
[10:01] <ameyer> m0u5e: you could try closing some unused stuff
[10:02] <lgc> Jordan_U, sure...
[10:02] <stdin> TyphoidHippo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation lists all the ways to install
[10:02] <cjae> Jordan_U, thanks gonna try brb
[10:02] <flowbot> smultron_: hmm ... it might be 'sudo smbpasswd -a -L <username>' ... let me check
[10:02] <punto> fyrestrtr: yeah, but the repo I have on sources.list seems to be a "stable" type, because there's never any new versions of anything
[10:02] <m0u5e> ameyer: i use it all though :X
[10:02] <Jordan_U> sugakushuto, Try the alternate install CD if you are getting this error with the liveCD
[10:02] <gerso> Jordan_U, how do i start gksudo?
[10:02] <m0u5e> ameyer: its just flash, im almost certain :X
[10:02] <lgc> Jordan_U, UUID=d02b56cf-4850-4b47-84c0-7aa5c948be85 none swap sw 0 0 .
[10:02] <punto> fyrestrtr: that's why I was wondering if I could switch to an unstable one
[10:02] <sugakushuto> Thanks, will do
[10:02] <TyphoidHippo> cwillu: It's a Dell C400 - it has no a hard drive and one usb1.0 port that you cannot boot from.  The only way to get an optical drive is to buy this ~100 proprietary cable for it that you can hook up a normal laptop optical drive to.
[10:02] <lgc> Jordan_U, # /dev/sda7 -- converted during upgrade to edgy
[10:02] <ameyer> m0u5e: could you do without Thunderbird for a couple minutes?
[10:02] <Jordan_U> gerso, Just press alt+F2 to get a run dialog and run "gksudo nautilus"
[10:02] <TyphoidHippo> stdin:  Thanks, I'll check that out
[10:03] <smultron_> flowbot: that failed too
[10:03] <fyrestrtr> punto: unstable would be gutsy; but that's *really* unstable.
[10:03] <m0u5e> ameyer: sure
[10:03] <ameyer> m0u5e: or a thunar or two?
[10:03] <m0u5e> ameyer: just closed it
[10:03] <cwillu> TyphoidHippo: and what os does it have on it right now?
[10:03] <ameyer> m0u5e: try youtube
[10:03] <m0u5e> ameyer: just closed all my thunar and thunderbird
[10:03] <Jordan_U> lgc, That is not actually a line interpreted by anything, the # at the beginning means that it is a comment and should be ignored by the system
[10:03] <punto> fyrestrtr: that's the only option after feisty?
[10:04] <Jordan_U> lgc, nvm, missed first line :)
[10:04] <lgc> Jordan_U, let me try again...
[10:04] <fyrestrtr> punto: afaik
[10:04] <TyphoidHippo> cwillu:  It has debian, that I installed onto the drive in another computer, and tinkered with it until it worked, but it has never even come close to working well...
[10:04] <Jordan_U> lgc, No I saw it now :0
[10:04] <Jordan_U> :0
[10:04] <DumberDrummer> My computer is acting strange. My xorg.conf is setup as it should be to allow 1280x1024 at 60hz, but for some reason, that will only work if the driver is vesa. It won't work if I use the nvidia driver (just stays stuck in 800x600 @ 50hz). Anyone got any ideas?
[10:04] <punto> fyrestrtr: ok.. thanks
[10:04] <Jordan_U> lgc,  I mean :) not :0... I should really go to sleep
[10:05] <lgc> Jordan_U, what time is your time?
[10:05] <m0u5e> ameyer:  as soon as i closed youtube i freed up 40Mb of ram and cpu dropped
[10:05] <flowbot> smultron_: 1. 'smbpasswd -L -a <username>' 2. 'smbpasswd -L -e <username>' ... add both your windows accounts and linux accounts that way for each
[10:05] <Jordan_U> lgc, 1:05 :)
[10:05] <KurtKraut> m0u5e, flash is an intensive task
[10:05] <ameyer> m0u5e: well, is youtube working acceptably?
[10:05] <lgc> Jordan_U, PST?
[10:05] <m0u5e> ameyer: only if i watch 1 thing at a time, and even then its choppy
[10:05] <print> hello,everybody
[10:05] <DFM> Anyone know whay the Nvidia driver doesn't work on fiesty 64 bit? It crashed X. Is it because the driver is 32 bit?
[10:06] <smultron_> flowbot: as super user?
[10:06] <m0u5e> ameyer: i mean, how does that make any sense? i can watch h.264 videos fine, but not youtube?
[10:06] <flowbot> smultron_: most of my knowledge on setting up samba comes from this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605&highlight=smbpasswd
[10:06] <lgc> Jordan_U, it's 3:06 here!
[10:06] <Jordan_U> lgc, yup
[10:06] <flowbot> smultron_: yeah
[10:06] <arooni> whats the official sun java package named?
[10:06] <KurtKraut> DFM, yes
[10:06] <TyphoidHippo> a ha!  Installation from linux should do the trick, thanks a lot for that link...this is sweet!
[10:06] <cjae_> Jordan_U, so can see boot messages at reboot but it seems there are not many, how can I see failed ones
[10:06] <m0u5e> ameyer: its obviously something to do with flash :/
[10:06] <My2k> hello
[10:06] <DumberDrummer> DFM: I'm running 64 bit, seems to be working just fine.... except I can't get it out of 800x600
[10:06] <ameyer> m0u5e: I wonder if you somehow got gnash installed
[10:06] <My2k> hi all
[10:06] <m0u5e> ameyer: no, i have flash-nonfreeplugin installed
[10:06] <DFM> KurtKraut: Is there a 64 bit driver available?
[10:06] <cwillu> TyphoidHippo: you can probably install ubuntu on the other laptop with the current drive, and then just move the drive
[10:06] <ameyer> well, if gnash is installed, it seems to default to that
[10:07] <cwillu> TyphoidHippo: most of the hardware is detected on the fly
[10:07] <lgc> Jordan_U, but before you go to sleep and I fall asleep, please try and give me some clues...
[10:07] <Jordan_U> DumberDrummer, My guess is that the nvidia driver is failing to load and is actually not being used, what happens when you run "sudo modprobe nvidia" ?
[10:07] <DFM> I can load 64 bit and X works however you can tell you need the correct driver.
[10:07] <cjae_> Jordan_U, I removed splash and quiet but the quiet that is not a boot option the one above initrd
[10:08] <smultron_> flowbot: still not letting me do anything. says failed to modify entry for user <WindowsUser>
[10:08] <gerso> Jordan_U, thanks for teaching me about gksudo nautilus
[10:08] <TyphoidHippo> cwillu: Yea, that's exactly what I did with pure debian, but it totally sucks...nothing works right, there's a tut on that page that stdin that explains how to install ubuntu onto a spare partition using the existing linux installation, and I think that's exactly what I'm looking for.
[10:08] <DumberDrummer> Jordan_U: nothing shows up
[10:08] <TyphoidHippo> *that stdin linked me to, rather
[10:08] <KurtKraut> DFM, yes, there is. And probably you have it installed. The problem that is VERY unstable
[10:08] <m0u5e> ameyer: would there be a dramatic difference if i make install flash?
[10:08] <cwillu> TyphoidHippo: what doesn't work?
[10:08] <Supavisah> How do I change the taskbar look?
[10:08] <ameyer> m0u5e: you can't
[10:08] <cwillu> TyphoidHippo: I've never had a problem doing that under ubuntu
[10:09] <Supavisah> what!?
[10:09] <ameyer> m0u5e: what part of "nonfree" don't you understand ;)
[10:09] <m0u5e> ameyer: i cant? :(
[10:09] <KurtKraut> DFM, neither in Windows you might have reliable 64 bit driver.
[10:09] <Jordan_U> gerso, No problem, be careful though and try not to keep it open, it will let you modify *and delete* any file on your hard drive... even things like the kernel that will keep the system from booting if you accidentaly do something stupid :)
[10:09] <ameyer> m0u5e: try sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-gnash
[10:09] <DFM> Kurt: Is that because it is OS created and not by Nvidia?
[10:09] <smultron_> flowbot: wait, there's a place for user/pass in the web GUI
[10:10] <flowbot> smultron_: yeah, i've had similar probs when trying to add users ... see what happens if you don't add the users to smbpasswd, but share the folder from windows, set administrator password, and try backuppc again
[10:10] <lgc> Jordan_U, please!!
[10:10] <smultron_> flowbot: i'll try that
[10:10] <DFM> Open Source that is
[10:10] <m0u5e> ameyer: oh yeah... -_-;
[10:10] <DumberDrummer> DFM: the nvidia driver is made by nvidia.. but its 64-bit :-/
[10:10] <m0u5e> ameyer: its not installed
[10:10] <KurtKraut> DFM, no. It is because it is not opensource.
[10:10] <DumberDrummer> DFM: the open source nvidia driver is nv I believe
[10:10] <DFM> ah thanks
[10:10] <cwillu> is it just me, or is there no feedback when you launch an icon on the desktop?
[10:10] <ameyer> hmm
[10:10] <DFM> That explains my trouble's
[10:10] <Enselic> how can I make cp -r also copy hidden files?
[10:10] <DumberDrummer> I really don't want to use vesa....
[10:11] <cjae_> Jordan_U, maybe it is failing to term firestarter at reboot?
[10:11] <DumberDrummer> I know I've got it working on this exact hardware build before too...
[10:11] <KurtKraut> DFM, if you are new to linux, I recommend you using a 32 bit instalation instead.
[10:11] <TyphoidHippo> cwillu: Ok, well Ubuntu definitely has some magic in it that debian does not (why else would we want ubuntu over debian, I guess, right?), so maybe I'll try both your suggestion and this other way.... :P
[10:11] <DFM> Your correct. That is the driver in use from standard install. When I went for the Nvidia one.
[10:11] <Jordan_U> cjae_, You can chroot in from a liveCD and remove firestarter with apt then see if the computer boots properly
[10:11] <TyphoidHippo> Thanks for the help cwillu and stdin
[10:11] <DFM> Kurt: Not to new. Started with RH7 and Mandrake 8
[10:11] <m0u5e> enselic: i believe cp -a will do the trick?
[10:11] <cwillu> TyphoidHippo: np
[10:12] <cjae_> Jordan_U, pm?
[10:12] <DFM> I just don't get to play with Linux as much as I wish.
[10:12] <pantic> does anyone know why in kubuntu graphic card wont work right, it detects it but wont apply it
[10:12] <Jordan_U> lgc, I don't know, again, if you have a backup of your old fstab you could try the swap line from it
[10:12] <stdin> TyphoidHippo: no problem :)
[10:12] <DFM> I am currently running the 32 bit 7.04 and am pleased but I would like to see just what the 64 bit will do
[10:12] <Jordan_U> cjae_, For a quieter channel I can help you in #ubuntu-classroom
[10:12] <cjae_> Jordan_U, thanks
[10:13] <Jordan_U> cjae_, np
[10:13] <KurtKraut> DFM, the difference is not noticeable from a common desktop usage.
[10:13] <Enselic> m0u5e: it did, thanks
[10:13] <MasterShrek> DFM, 64 bit is nice =D
[10:13] <cwillu> lgc: what's the problem
[10:13] <DumberDrummer> DFM: no 64-bit flash atm :-(
[10:13] <MasterShrek> nspluginwrapper
[10:13] <MasterShrek> works fine
[10:13] <DumberDrummer> yes I know
[10:13] <Enselic> DFM: in my experience there is no performance difference to care about, and you will get more problems with 64-bit
[10:13] <DumberDrummer> its a bit of a hack though
[10:14] <MasterShrek> i block most flash anyway with firefox's noscript
[10:14] <KurtKraut> DFM, I agree with Enselic
[10:14] <DumberDrummer> as opposed to an actual release from adobe
[10:14] <Enselic> DFM: if you encode/decode vidoes for example, it might e worth a try
[10:14] <DFM> Kurt, I installed 64 bit 6.06 and when I ran Gimp it screamed but I agree with you guys it isn't worth it yet
[10:14] <DumberDrummer> yeah, 64-bit is more for the video encoders (like me :-)
[10:14] <Enselic> DFM: GIMP 2.4 rc 1 will probably be relased today, speaking of GIMP :)
[10:14] <DumberDrummer> anyway, nobody has any idea what the deal is here?
[10:14] <KurtKraut> DFM, if you press TAB after typing Kurt my full nickname will be written
[10:15] <MasterShrek> i do alot of video conversions tho, dvds and such, and movies for my psp, but i spose common web browsing and such it probably isnt very practical
[10:15] <DFM> Think I will take all of your advice and leave 64 bit to a spare machine
[10:15] <DumberDrummer> just chalk it up to crappy 64-bit closed drivers?
[10:15] <Jordan_U> DFM, If you only use OSS then you shouldn't run into any problems, but most desktop users are dependent on proprietary software like flash that is not 64 bit
[10:15] <DFM> Thanks, sorry about cutting you off
[10:15] <Morten_> Hi, Im wondering if I can bind "<windows-key>+d" for "Hide all windows and focus desktop"? -- If I use the Keyboard Shortcuts menu, i can only bind it to the <windows-key> which labels it "Super L"...
[10:16] <Enselic> Morten_: do you know about C-A-d?
[10:16] <Morten_> yeah, but i like windows-d ;)
[10:16] <lgc> Jordan_U, it doesn't work when I copy the entry from the .pre-uuid file: i get the same "invalid argument" with 'swapon -a'.
[10:16] <Morten_> old habit..
[10:16] <sugakushuto> what about using linux32 for 64 machines?
[10:17] <Jordan_U> lgc, What is the line from the pre UUID file?
[10:17] <KurtKraut> sugakushuto, this is the most recommended set.
[10:17] <sugakushuto> oh, sorry, stepped away to burn an alt iso
[10:17] <lgc> Jordan_U, '/dev/sda7       none            swap    sw              0       0'
[10:17] <DFM> KurtKraut, I have been using IRC very little and have yet to learn everything I need to for etiquette. My apologies.
[10:18] <cwillu> lgc: what devices does ls /dev/sd* /dev/hd* show?
[10:18] <Jordan_U> lgc, And sudo fdisk -l still shows your swap partition as /dev/sda7?
[10:18] <DumberDrummer> waitaminit
[10:18] <DumberDrummer> I forget
[10:18] <ameyer> m0u5e: what browser were you using in XP?
[10:18] <lgc> cwillu, /dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda3  /dev/sda5  /dev/sda6  /dev/sda7.
[10:18] <DumberDrummer> does sudo apt-get upgrade install new kernels?
[10:18] <stdin> DumberDrummer: no
[10:18] <DumberDrummer> mmkay
[10:19] <ameyer> m0u5e: apparently flash is just slow in firefox
[10:19] <m0u5e> ameyer: firefox
[10:19] <KurtKraut> DFM, you dont need to apologise :D In fact, that is not a matter of etiquette. It is a pratical issue. When you mention the full nickname of someone, usually, our message will me in a different color or will produce a sound, gathering the attention from the person you're talking to.
[10:19] <Enselic> Morten_: I found this from a forums post, execute this in a terminal, and it should work:    gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/show_desktop "<Mod4>d"
[10:19] <lgc> Jordan_U, '/dev/sda7            7904        8389     3903763+  82  Linux swap / Solaris'.
[10:19] <m0u5e> ameyer: yeah, its slower than epiphany, but epiphany has the same problems too, just not as bad
[10:19] <Morten_> Enselic: Okay thx, ill try that :)
[10:19] <sugakushuto> I have had slow flash vidoes in firefox due to via video drivers
[10:19] <Enselic> Morten_: personally I think you should file a bug report about this
[10:20] <Enselic> Morten_: but that's up to you
[10:20] <Jordan_U> lgc, And you tried replacing just the one line and not just the entire fstab?
[10:20] <Morten_> Enselic: ahh yeah, that would be a good idea
[10:20] <lgc> Jordan_U, just the line, yes.
[10:20] <Morten_> Enselic: Ill do that as well :)
[10:20] <Enselic> Morten_: did it work anyway?
[10:20] <Paso> Hi all! I'm a newbie...
[10:21] <Enselic> hi | Paso
[10:21] <Enselic> !hi | Paso
[10:21] <ubotu> Paso: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:21] <Jordan_U> lgc, And you first removed or commented out the other line ( sorry but I can't think of much else so I am just making sure )
[10:21] <Jordan_U> ?
[10:21] <aroooni> what do i need to do to make beryl active upon startup
[10:21] <Morten_> Enselic: Yeah, It worked like a charm! :)) Thx!
[10:21] <Paso> 3rd day in ubuntu.... starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel -)
[10:21] <Enselic> Morten_: Ctrl + Shift + V   to paste in a gnome-terminal :)        great!
[10:21] <DumberDrummer> or shift+insert
[10:21] <DumberDrummer> Jordan_U: nvidia shows up in lsmod, if that is significant
[10:22] <Morten_> or rightclick paste :P
[10:22] <Enselic> Morten_: :d
[10:22] <lgc> Jordan_U, yep.
[10:22] <ameyer> m0u5e: could you try running "XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 firefox"?
[10:22] <iclde> pasO the end of the tunnel have a black light, u will see
[10:22] <iclde> use windows
[10:22] <iclde> :)
[10:23] <cwillu> m0u5e: what's wrong?  firefox under compiz'ish things?
[10:23] <ameyer> cwillu: slow flash
[10:23] <m0u5e> ameyer: it just opened firefox for me?
[10:23] <ameyer> cwillu: I'm running out of ideas for what is causing it
[10:23] <Paso> today's problem: thunderbird 2.0 CRASH as soon as I start. Terminal shows "Segmentation Fault". Tried: safe mode, same thing; rm -r .mozilla-thunderbird, same thing... Ideas ?
[10:23] <DFM> KurtKraut, I just got tired of trying to correctly spell the name's and shortened them but now I know how to do it. :)
[10:23] <m0u5e> cwillu: not using compiz
[10:23] <cwillu> how slow are we talking?
[10:23] <m0u5e> ameyer: i only have this problem with flash i swear :X
[10:24] <KurtKraut> DFM, :P
[10:24] <ameyer> m0u5e: I meant, close firefox, run that, and try youtube in that window
[10:24] <m0u5e> cwillu: my entire system will slow to a crawl when using the flash plugin
[10:24] <cwillu> m0u5e: flash 9?
[10:24] <cwillu> older flash plugin was horrible
[10:24] <iclde> Paso: if u use windows, it will never shows "Segmentation Fault"
[10:24] <ameyer> cwillu: unless flash7 somehow made it into feisty
[10:24] <cwillu> upgrade?
[10:24] <cwillu> or manual install
[10:25] <Enselic> Paso: how did you install thunderbird?
[10:25] <ameyer> m0u5e: actually, enter "about:config" into the address bar
[10:25] <sugakushuto> m0u5e: I have had to get fresh flash from adobe on every install
[10:25] <DFM> KurtKraut, Did you see my question about trying to use qtparted to resize the primary ext3 partition?
[10:25] <KurtKraut> DFM, no... let me check
[10:25] <m0u5e> ameyer: OMG IT WORKS
[10:25] <smultron_> flowbot: i think this was my problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00517.html
[10:25] <Paso> Enselic, I installed from a repository.... with sudo alien -i
[10:25] <ameyer> m0u5e: if the version reported from flash is < 9.0, that's your issue
[10:25] <m0u5e> ameyer: im running a bunch of youtubes all at once, and its all really smooth!
[10:25] <ameyer> m0u5e: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/14911/comments/6
[10:25] <Jordan_U> lgc, What if you run swapon -U <Your UUID here> ?
[10:25] <sugakushuto> m0u5e: in fire fox put the 'about:plugins' in the address bar
[10:25] <Paso> Enselic, it worked for one day.... I even shared the email with Windows on a fat32 partition....
[10:25] <Enselic> Paso: why didnt you install the Ubuntu version?
[10:26] <m0u5e> ameyer: whats that command do? :X
[10:26] <Enselic> Paso: sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[10:26] <KurtKraut> DFM, what is the problem ?
[10:26] <Enselic> Paso: if you install other distros versions, you are asking for trouble :)
[10:26] <Paso> Enselic, I was trying to share the mail with the XP version... so, installing the same version seemed a good idea
[10:26] <cwillu> m0u5e: skip_visuals_junk?  codes around an adobe issue
[10:26] <ameyer> m0u5e: it runs firefox with a different environment variable
[10:27] <Enselic> Paso: in what sense do you mean "share"?
[10:27] <Jordan_U> !alien | Paso
[10:27] <ubotu> Paso: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[10:27] <cwillu> ameyer: m0u5e: if that did it, I think setting the bitdepth of xorg to 16 instead of 24 will fix it too
[10:27] <cwillu> without needing the flag
[10:27] <DFM> KurtKraut, I want to reduce the size to create a fat32 partition for backup purposes for both OS's
[10:27] <m0u5e> cwillu: ahh i c, thx :)
[10:27] <Paso> Enselic, i mean that I can boot in Xp or in ubuntu, and see the same email database. So I can work in both systems without two different accounts
[10:28] <KurtKraut> DFM, you should be able to resize any ext3 partition only if it is unmounted
[10:28] <lgc> Jordan_U, same "invalid argument" rebuke.
[10:28] <Paso> Enselic, and it works well, when thunderbird was working!
[10:28] <DFM> KurtKraut, Just to do it. Not critical. Tried partition magic 8.0 and it sees the drive but won't touch it.
[10:28] <Enselic> Paso: then you want to share the ~/.mozilla-thunderbird folder, not the program itself
[10:28] <DFM> KurtKraut, didn't think of that. It shows it's status as busy.
[10:28] <sugakushuto> DFM I would recommend an external solution for backup purposes
[10:28] <suspec1> when my Firestarter starts... it always asks me for admin password... is it possible to configure Firestarter not to ask for password?
[10:28] <m0u5e> cwillu: btw how do i find out what version of flash im using?
[10:28] <Enselic> Paso: if you uninstall your alien versino of Thunderbird, install the Ubuntu version (With apt-get), and share the ~/.mozilla-thunderbird folder, you shall be fine
[10:29] <DFM> KurtKraut, I am running knoppix so I will try it.
[10:29] <cwillu> m0u5e: one sec
[10:29] <sugakushuto> DFM if the drive dies the backups are useless
[10:29] <Jordan_U> lgc, What is the exact command you used?
[10:29] <leeyee> Hi, can anyone help me with quartus installation on ubuntu?
[10:29] <suspec1> what is quartus?
[10:29] <Paso> Enselic, I'll try to remove and reinstall the supported version
[10:29] <niuq> hi
[10:29] <leeyee> quartusII v7.1, is develop kit for Altera FPGA
[10:29] <Enselic> Paso: good idea
[10:29] <niuq> i've installed apache 2 with php5 and mysql
[10:29] <DFM> sugakushuto, I agree I am just playing but when I tried to mount my external NTFS hd I can read but not write no matter what I try
[10:29] <niuq> but i have no idea how to start apache...
[10:30] <smultron_> flowbot: thanks for all your help. i think it's working now :)
[10:30] <sugakushuto> DFM did you make sure the volumes you are trying to edit are not mounted?
[10:30] <whaboo> hey guys
[10:30] <whaboo> Hello there
[10:30] <lgc> Jordan_U, 'swapon -U d02b56cf-4850-4b47-84c0-7aa5c948be85'.
[10:30] <Solidays> Hey whaboo
[10:30] <m0u5e> sugakushuto: i have something called "futuresplash" i have no idea what it is
[10:30] <whaboo> guys i have a simple and small question
[10:30] <sugakushuto> DFM knoppix auto mounts every volume
[10:30] <cwillu> m0u5e: go to a page with flash on it, right click on the animation, bottom option should say 'adobe flash version 9' or something like that
[10:30] <ameyer> cwillu, m0u5e: holy crud, that SKIP ARGB thing makes youtube work well on my p3-500 lappy
[10:31] <Jordan_U> lgc, That really shouldn't give you an error of an invalid argument
[10:31] <whaboo> what antivirus should i get for ubuntu ( a good one with live scanning)
[10:31] <DFM> sugakushuto, No I just learned that could be my problem but why is it I can mount and write to any internal ntfs but not external USB drive's?
[10:31] <cwillu> whaboo: you don't
[10:31] <KurtKraut> whaboo, I antivirus for Ubuntu us unecessery
[10:31] <Jordan_U> whaboo, For protecting windows I assume?
[10:31] <sugakushuto> m0u5e get flash for linux from adobe's site and use the installer script with sudo
[10:31] <lgc> Jordan_U, hmmm...
[10:31] <DFM> sugakushuto, let me unmount the drive and see if I can resize it
[10:31] <whaboo> i know i dont need one .. but i would like to be secure :P
[10:31] <DFM> brb
[10:31] <whaboo> yes for protecting windows
[10:31] <Jordan_U> lgc, Test if it works from a LiveCD
[10:32] <lgc> Jordan_U, how?
[10:32] <inventorgp> whaboo: ClamAV
[10:32] <cwillu> ameyer: what's your bitdepth set to right now?  (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[10:32] <macsat> whaboo get f-prot
[10:32] <cjae_> Jordan_U, thanks for help
[10:32] <sugakushuto> it may have something to do with the ntfsprogs settings
[10:32] <inventorgp> !ClamAV
[10:32] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about clamav - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:32] <whaboo> clamAV or f-prot ???
[10:32] <inventorgp> !clamav
[10:32] <Jordan_U> whaboo, clamAV is Open source, AVG free is also available but proprietary
[10:32] <whaboo> oww thank you ill look for it in teh packages
[10:32] <macsat> so is f-prot
[10:33] <ameyer> cwillu: 24
[10:33] <cjae_> avast is way better
[10:33] <cwillu> ameyer: set it to 16, and you won't need the option, and your 3d accel may get way better too
[10:33] <cjae_> than avg anyway
[10:33] <DFM> sugakushuto, I unmounted to ext3 drive and ran qtparted but the option to resize is still greyed out
[10:33] <whaboo> yeah .. no no not for windows guys ... im looking for one touse on linux .. i already have one on windblows :P
[10:33] <towlie> am i the only one who thinks that when u buy a computer it should come preinstalled with ubuntu ?
[10:34] <ameyer> cwillu: what 3d acceleration
[10:34] <inventorgp> no
[10:34] <sugakushuto> DFM you just want to resize an NTFS?
[10:34] <cwillu> whaboo: you don't need or want to run an antivirus under linux
[10:34] <inventorgp> lol
[10:34] <cwillu> ameyer: if there was any available :p
[10:34] <ameyer> cwillu: ancient, ATI card from the old NDA days
[10:34] <cjae_> whaboo, it great if you dual boot
[10:34] <lgc> Jordan_U, I just got my load of Feisty CDs. But I have no Edgy ones. If I need to reboot then I'd rather go to bed now....
[10:34] <DFM> sugakushuto, I know that Knoppix auto mounts that is why I chose it to resize my hc1 Linux drive
[10:34] <whaboo> lol ubuntu is good ... and i also like PClnuxOS ...  they came a long way
[10:34] <cjae_> or use wine
[10:34] <inventorgp> towlie: it should come preinstalled with ubuntu :P
[10:34] <midori> /server server.undernet.org
[10:34] <whaboo> esp teh 2007 one
[10:35] <Jordan_U> lgc, Why are you running Edgy still anyways?
[10:35] <towlie> for most things, ubuntu is as easy as windows
[10:35] <whaboo> who likes Pclinuxos as well over here?
[10:35] <DFM> sugakushuto, I have Ubuntu on it's own 120 gig drive and just want to learn how to resize the partition by booting from a live cd
[10:35] <sugakushuto> DFM the volume to be modified should not be mounted, try rt clicking on the icon and umount it from there
[10:35] <Jordan_U> lgc, It was released when a lot of its software was still in beta hence the name "edgy"
[10:35] <inventorgp> towlie: most things.... but a lot of people freak at terminal
[10:35] <towlie> yea well
[10:35] <lgc> Jordan_U, I just upgraded from Dapper. I almost wish I hadn't because several things don't work anymore.
[10:36] <towlie> terminal is essentially the same as command prompt in windows
[10:36] <sugakushuto> DFM you want to resize the ext3, i missunderstood
[10:36] <DFM> sugakushuto, I use Knoppix to rescue xp all the time. BTW the drive was mounted and I couldn't resize which is why I posted in here.
[10:36] <Jordan_U> lgc, They work again if you upgrade to Feisty, it is a much more stable release
[10:36] <lgc> Jordan_U, so you recommend immediate upgrade to Feisty?
[10:36] <towlie> i dont think that most things the unexperienced computer user would do in terminal are that complicated
[10:36] <ranjan> whaboo: PCLinuxOS has too many things installed by default and does not have debians package management edge and its kde, so i don't like it much
[10:36] <m0u5e> sugakushuto: how do i change my configured plugins in firefox?
[10:36] <inventorgp> towlie: not really... and how many non-IT people do you know who use command promt?
[10:36] <randoman> Hey guys, where is the startup script for ubuntu. I installed mysql, and its starting up when i boot
[10:37] <randoman> ?
[10:37] <Jordan_U> lgc, Yes, but I am still tired so take any advice with a grain of salt :)
[10:37] <cwillu> randoman: /etc/rc2.d
[10:37] <randoman> thank you
[10:37] <DFM> sugakushuto, no sweat I am just trying to learn how to use the utility. As I learn to use OSS utilities I quit using hacked ones for windows
[10:37] <cwillu> and similar
[10:37] <randoman> gracias
[10:37] <inventorgp> Towlie: yeah thats true... I type slow :P
[10:37] <flowbot> smultron_: cool ... glad to help
[10:37] <randoman> thats all i needed to know :)
[10:37] <cwillu> randoman: there's other places, but that's where mysql is likely to be :p
[10:37] <lgc> Jordan_U, let's consult that decision with our respective pillows!
[10:37] <sugakushuto> m0u5e newest one wins, you might want to check synaptic for the word 'flash' and make sure there are no other flash plugins installed
[10:37] <randoman> k
[10:38] <randoman> can you name the others for me
[10:38] <randoman> so i know
[10:38] <randoman> ?
[10:38] <sugakushuto> DFM its ok, ive been there, many times
[10:38] <randoman> sorry for asking :P
[10:38] <Jordan_U> lgc, goodnight :0
[10:38] <inventorgp> anyone here dual, triple or quadruple boot??
[10:38] <Jordan_U> lgc, Gahh :) again :)
[10:38] <cwillu> randoman: ubuntu's using upstart now, which is event based
[10:38] <faileas> triple ;)
[10:38] <lgc> Jordan_U, you bet! Thanks for the help and we'll met later for sure.
[10:38] <cwillu> randoman: it's got a backward compatibility thing that runs the rc.x scripts
[10:38] <inventorgp> fialeas: me too
[10:38] <randoman> ok
[10:38] <lgc> Jordan_U, :).
[10:39] <ranjan> randoman: apt-get install bum
[10:39] <randoman> upstart
[10:39] <randoman> ok
[10:39] <cwillu> randoman: /etc/events.d is the main other one, but a bunch of low level systems have their own versions
[10:39] <cwillu> oops, not versions, folders
[10:39] <randoman> but if i want to disableit, all i have to do is make it un executable right?
[10:39] <cwillu> i.e, /etc/acpi/events.d,
[10:39] <sugakushuto> DFM in qtparted it should show the different partitions in different colors
[10:39] <randoman> k
[10:39] <Jordan_U> randoman, Cleaner to just use a utility like bum
[10:40] <sugakushuto> DFM if it is still greyed out you have to umount all of the partitions
[10:40] <cwillu> randoman: change the first letter of it to K in the rc.x directory
[10:40] <randoman> for sure
[10:40] <cwillu> rc.2 is the runlevel you care about
[10:40] <DFM> sugakushuto, It does but no matter what I do I cannot resize the drive.
[10:40] <sugakushuto> DFM on that volume
[10:40] <randoman> k
[10:40] <sugakushuto> DFM what is you knoppix version
[10:40] <DFM> sugakushuto, ah let me try that I just unmounted hdc1 never thought of the swap
[10:40] <DFM> sugakushuto, 5.1.1
[10:40] <DFM> brb
[10:41] <sugakushuto> DFM ooo, yeah, restart knoppix with the 'noswap' code
[10:41] <randoman> thanks guys
[10:41] <randoman> good info
[10:41] <inventorgp> Just wondering anyone else use other linux distros other than Ubuntu?
[10:41] <sugakushuto> DFM ex. 'knoppix dma noapm noapci nopcmcia noswap'
[10:42] <smultron_> inventorgp: if you don't feel like straying too far from Ubuntu, Linux Mint is a good distro based on Ubuntu.
[10:42] <thirst> is there any way to start text based install using an ubuntu-desktop cd
[10:42] <sugakushuto> inventorgp <DSL, knoppix, ubuntu, debian
[10:42] <inventorgp> smultron: Oh I like Ubuntu, and redhat based distro's :D
[10:42] <sugakushuto> thirst there is the alternat cd
[10:43] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: I've heard Mint is goo tho
[10:43] <inventorgp> *good
[10:43] <sugakushuto> thirst if that is not an option, I do not know if you can
[10:43] <DFM> sugakushuto, I will try that. I just checked and the swap isn't showing. I have 2 gigs of ram so I boot with the "toram" option
[10:43] <ranjan> inventorgp: i have used mint it is good
[10:44] <Morten_> I have a Windows Partition on my computer, and I want full access (read/write permissions), but I cant change the permissions when I go into the Permission-options on the mounted windows Partition... Anyone have any idea, how to solve this?
[10:44] <inventorgp> ranjan: happy using pidgin?.. lol
[10:44] <sugakushuto> inventorgp I found it too simple, not enough out of the box utilities and the menu is different
[10:44] <ranjan> inventorgp: yep lol
[10:44] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: redhat?
[10:45] <sugakushuto> Morten_ permissions have to be changed with root
[10:45] <inventorgp> ranjan: mint with kde or gnome?
[10:45] <Supavisah> How to install GTK themes in Ubuntu?
[10:45] <underwatercow> Does anyone have any idea why my Internet is behaving strangely? I can do just about everything like normal... but for some reason I can't download Ubuntu updates, and my torrents won't download.
[10:45] <ranjan> inventorgp: kde version is horrible gnome is great
[10:45] <DFM> sugakushuto, I am going to reboot and see what happens. Not a big deal right now I just figure running Knoppix and qtparted is faster than booting into hosed xp and trying to install hacked Part Magic
[10:45] <Morten_> sugakushuto: how do I become root, without being in the Terminal?
[10:45] <sugakushuto> inventorgp back in the day, fedora core 4 was my last run and I tried suse as well
[10:45] <jon_> Is there any way i could have ubunutu auto mount a drive
[10:45] <jon_> whenever i boot up
[10:45] <inventorgp> ranjan: I dont like kde... Its Gnome or nothing
[10:46] <sugakushuto> DFM sounds good
[10:46] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: what did you think of SUSE?
[10:46] <DFM> sugakushuto, thanks for all the info about the mounting
[10:46] <kauer> jon_: Read up on fstab.
[10:46] <ranjan> i love 3 kde apps amarok, ktorrent and k3b besides that kde has too much fluff
[10:46] <sugakushuto> Morten_ very tricky
[10:47] <ranjan> inventorgp: kde4 is looking good tough
[10:47] <inventorgp> ranjan: yeah.. kde does have alot of good apps
[10:47] <sugakushuto> Morten_ open a terminal, type in 'sudo nautilus'
[10:47] <kauer> jon_ Basically you describe the drive, the format, any options etc on a line in /etc/fstab, and the system will do the rest.
[10:47] <kauer> jon_: Not so useful for removable drives, though. Is the drive you want to automount removable?
[10:48] <zobohobodog> is anyone available to help me with a wireless networking problem?  unable to activate a new linksys pc card modem
[10:48] <sugakushuto> Morten_ and you should be able to rt click on the "hd*" or "sd*" and change the permissions there
[10:48] <sugakushuto> DFM np
[10:48] <inventorgp> brb
[10:49] <christ_the_ubunt> everyone give up computers and go toward christ
[10:50] <thirst> is there a way to burn an boot up cd and kick off install from the ubuntu-dvd-iso available within the hard disk
[10:50] <JonNoob> Can anybody give me some advice to why i can't get my dhcp server started? It says failed everytime i try to start it. i am running edubuntu feisty i386
[10:50] <aroooni> how do i set the java used to be sun's java... and not the gnu stuff?
[10:50] <ranjan> brb
[10:50] <sugakushuto> inventorgp suse was ok, again, a little sugar coated
[10:50] <kauer> JonNoob: what is the error message, exactly?
[10:51] <Morten_> sugakushuto: Yeah, I can do that, but another program arised... It says that it is a Read-only Disk now..
[10:51] <aroooni> how do i set the java used to be sun's java... and not the gnu stuff?
[10:51] <Morten_> problem*
[10:51] <sugakushuto> inventorgp I have been questing for the "holy grail" of linux distro's since 2k
[10:52] <JonNoob> Actually it only says fail. i run sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start. it says starting dhcp3-server [fail] . No errors in syslog or daemon.log
[10:52] <twosouls82> packages.ubuntu.com seems to be down

[11:01] <Morten_> sugakushuto: okay

[11:01] <JonNoob> kauer: dhcpd: wrote 0 leases in leases file is the only message besides all the copyright and right text.
[11:01] <christ_the_ubunt> humboll you have to enable the repositories there on the git site
[11:01] <sugakushuto> Morten_ there should be a media folder (/media)
[11:02] <DFM> sugakushuto, I done what you said and qtparted still won't allow me to resize however gparted gave no problems when I requested it and it says it is currently resizing.
[11:02] <christ_the_ubunt> add them rather
[11:02] <christ_the_ubunt> then sudo apt-get update
[11:02] <christ_the_ubunt> then search git
[11:02] <sugakushuto> DFM leave it alone, trust me
[11:02] <Morten_> sugakushuto, yeah, that was where I fetches the sda1 harddrive
[11:02] <christ_the_ubunt> or apt-get install git
[11:02] <JonNoob> pkauer: are there anyway to debug it? other log files i have to check?
[11:02] <sugakushuto> DFM it took 30 minutes to resize a 40G reiserfs once
[11:02] <kauer> JonNoob: is there a dhcpd process? "ps ax | grep dhcp"
[11:03] <christ_the_ubunt> brb god wishes me to excrete
[11:03] <JonNoob> kauer: no
[11:03] <DFM> sugakushuto, I will, I cut the 120 gig in half just to see if I could. If I kill it I can install Ubuntu to a running desktop in 18 and a half minutes so no loss
[11:03] <sugakushuto> Morten_ rt click on the folder (partition) that has windows on it
[11:03] <aroooni> anyone know where the /features and /plugins directory (for eclipse are)?
[11:04] <Morten_> sugakushuto, okay done ;)
[11:04] <kauer> JonNoob: let me go loo. May be a minute or two... try "grep -i dhcp /var/log/*"
[11:04] <cwillu> christ_the_ubunt: git in the repo isn't the git you want
[11:04] <sugakushuto> DFM true, I think there is a way to backup your installed package list
[11:04] <JonNoob> kauer: ok trying it
[11:04] <sugakushuto> Morten_ does it allow you to change the group?
[11:04] <osfameron> has anyone had luck getting price off laptops by asking /not/ to have Windows preinstalled ?
[11:05] <DFM> sugakushuto, there is and I have done it but since I am just playing and learning my install is pretty much stock at this time
[11:05] <christ_the_ubunt> cwillu when you get that you can use get to update read the homepage :)
[11:05] <christ_the_ubunt> use git *
[11:05] <sugakushuto> osfameron it is often like asking if you can buy a car without an engine. there is a way for M$ to refund you the $
[11:06] <Morten_> sugakushuto: "The group could not be changes" - " couldn't change the group of sda1 because it is on a read-only disk"
[11:06] <Morten_> :(
[11:06] <Morten_> changed*
[11:06] <sugakushuto> DFM I backed mine up once, I should do it again :-D
[11:06] <cwillu> christ_the_ubunt: git is a gnu file browse, git-core is the version control util used by the kernel, no relation
[11:07] <sugakushuto> Morten_ and the owner is root right?
[11:07] <DFM> sugakushuto, works great unless you upgrade to next distro then some of your package's might be no longer :(
[11:07] <Shadow6363> aroooni, ever get an answer?
[11:07] <christ_the_ubunt> but there is a correlation
[11:07] <elmargol> I search someone who has "Appe TV"
[11:07] <Morten_> sugakushuto: yep
[11:07] <sugakushuto> DFM true as well
[11:08] <sugakushuto> Morten_ ok, sudo is not enough, do you know your root password?
[11:08] <Morten_> sugakushuto: no, haven't ever used it or typed it in :)
[11:09] <DFM> sugakushuto, I prefer 7.04 to all other version and distro's, have yet to try Mint but I can't seem to want to try anything other than Knoppix for utilty purpose's on existing machine's
[11:09] <aroooni> Shadow6363, nopes
[11:09] <osfameron> sugakushuto: heh.  I think I'll maybe ask if I go through to trying to buy it
[11:09] <sugakushuto> Morten_ ok, roll up your sleeves, and close nautilus but dont close the terminal
[11:09] <ranjan> DFM: try sidux for utility
[11:09] <Shadow6363> aroooni, mine are in "/usr/lib/eclipse" and i have not modified their location since installation so hopefully those are the defaults
[11:10] <Morten_> sugakushuto: okay, im ready! ;)
[11:10] <DFM> ranjan, Ok, is it loaded like Knoppix?
[11:10] <sugakushuto> DFM mint is ok, simple but ok, they should trim it down to the nubs tho on services started at boot
[11:10] <ranjan> ranjan: Knoppix developers forked sidux
[11:11] <sugakushuto> Morten_ type sudo passwd root
[11:11] <ranjan> DFM: i was hoping not to talk to myself
[11:11] <kadakas> After the last ubuntu 7.04 updates my flash doesnt work. Is someone else experiencing the same problem?
[11:11] <sugakushuto> Morten_ type in new password
[11:11] <aroooni> thanks Shadow6363
[11:12] <twosouls82> kadakas: had the same issues.. I downloaded the deb from trevino and it worked again
[11:12] <Morten_> sugakushuto: done, new password succesfull
[11:12] <Shadow6363> aroooni, anytime
[11:12] <kauer> JonNoob: Have you actually configured any subnets on any interfaces?!? It won't start without something for it to do...
[11:12] <sugakushuto> osfameron it never hurts to ask ;-) but be prepared for the laughing
[11:12] <DFM> sugakushuto, I like Debian and love apt, I even likes  Mandrakebut since I started with 6.06 I really enjoy Ubuntu
[11:12] <sugakushuto> Morten_ type su
[11:12] <DFM> ranjan, What do you mean talking to yourself?
[11:12] <JonNoob> kauer-. my eth3 is configured
[11:12] <sugakushuto> Morten_ type newly furbished password
[11:12] <Morten_> sugakushuto: ahh, good day root! :D
[11:12] <JonNoob> And i can ping it from the network
[11:13] <sugakushuto> Morten_ nautilus
[11:13] <ranjan> DFM: when i said that sidux was developed by ex knoppix developers i had prefixed it with ranjan:
[11:13] <sugakushuto> Morten_ navigate to the /media and rt click the sda1
[11:13] <DFM> Boy my spelling is crap, I must need to go to bed
[11:13] <kauer> JonNoob: No, I mean have you told the DHCP server, via its config file, what addresses and other information you want it to distribute?
[11:13] <inventorgp> back
[11:13] <Morten_> sugakushuto: done
[11:13] <sugakushuto> DFM OH JEEZE dont even get me started on mandriva
[11:13] <kauer> JonNoob: There are no defaults....
[11:13] <DFM> ranjan, ah I see, I am so tired I didn't catch it lol
[11:14] <JonNoob> in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
[11:14] <JonNoob> yes
[11:14] <ranjan> DFM: me too and hence the error
[11:14] <osfameron> sugakushuto: heh, yeah - I remembered people trying it on some years back, wondered if it was currently something that people did, or if they'd given up...
[11:14] <DFM> sugakushuto, I know I liked it when it was Mandrake but then discovered Debian and now I am not interested in any distro that doesn't use apt
[11:14] <nimrodicus23> What's a distribution with good out of the box multimedia support?
[11:15] <DFM> nimrodicus23, Linspire
[11:15] <ranjan> nimrodicus23: linuxmint
[11:15] <nimrodicus23> Will it play Divx?
[11:15] <inventorgp> sugashuto: (the holy grail distro) Debian is a really good distro.. but I find setting up a server is a bit more of a lenghty task
[11:15] <sugakushuto> DFM I was using mandrake right before I tried debian
[11:15] <ranjan> nimrodicus23: mint will
[11:15] <kauer> JonNoob: That path looks odd to me. Not in /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf?
[11:15] <nimrodicus23> I've tired linuxmint and for some reason it hung at boot
[11:15] <nimrodicus23> tried*
[11:15] <sugakushuto> Morten_ will it let you change file and folder access under the owner?
[11:16] <CorpseFeeder> I am using the Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia site. Does that mean I can't use the 7.04 upgrade button in Software Updates thing?
[11:16] <ranjan> nimrodicus23: livecd or installed mint?
[11:16] <kadakas> twosouls82: what to you mean by trevino ?
[11:16] <DFM> nimrodicus23, I would say Mint will be better because it is based off Ubuntu and last I checked Linspire charged $50 for their distro but that may have changed
[11:16] <WingNut_> I need to setup an XP/Ubuntu dual boot.  Installer wasn't able to repartition the drive.  Are the instructions in the userdocs (use qtparted) the best option or is there a better way?
[11:16] <JonNoob> It is the rigt path, because i am running edubuntu... Ltsp changes it to use that path
[11:16] <nimrodicus23> it was the live CD, XFCE edition
[11:17] <Morten_> sugakushuto: it still complains, still read only disk :/
[11:17] <ranjan> nimrodicus23: stick to cassandra 3 gnome
[11:17] <sugakushuto> DFM well to be fair I was using fedora off and on as well, I have a fedora core RC1 set of disks and my original M10 as well collecting dust
[11:17] <twosouls82> kadakas: google it: "trevino feisty", Trevino has made some packages for ubuntu.. I wouldn't use them.. except for the one called flash-plugin-nonfree, to get your flash working again
[11:17] <nimrodicus23> Alright, I can always install KDE on cassandra right?
[11:17] <ranjan> nimrodicus23: the other editions are community built and not by the main developer
[11:17] <nimrodicus23> Ahhh.. I see
[11:17] <sugakushuto> Morten_ does it let you change the "others"
[11:17] <ranjan> nimrodicus23: yes you can
[11:18] <nimrodicus23> Beautiful.  Because I honestly hate gnome :P
[11:18] <jon_> how would i go about updating my nvidia drivers with apt-get?
[11:18] <dibblego> how can I get a md5sum of a portion of a file?
[11:18] <inventorgp> WingNut: 1 partition the drive (can used gParted live cd) 2. Load up the XP cd and format one of the blank partitions and install... 3. install Ubuntu
[11:18] <DFM> sugakushuto, I liked kde and still do but with 7.04 I haven't installed kubuntu and am trying to learn just to use gnome
[11:18] <kauer> JonNoob: OK, sorry, I'm not familiar with edubuntu. That means I can't do a direct comparison of stuff, so I can't help you much more. Try starting dhcpd from the command line; then you will see all output and should get a better idea of what is going on. The startup scripts dump error output to /dev/null, not useful :-)
[11:18] <arooni> what are good ways of getting lots of mp3s and videos onto my comp asap?
[11:19] <WingNut_> inventorgp:  Well, XP is already installed, so I'll need to resize the current partition.
[11:19] <Morten_> sugakushuto: Same error, when i try anything with "others"
[11:19] <sugakushuto> DFM there are pros and cons, again, all about what the user likes.
[11:19] <JonNoob> how do i start it from commandline?
[11:19] <DFM> dibblego, just use the md5sum + file name in a terminallll
[11:19] <jon_> how would i go about updating my nvidia drivers with apt-get?
[11:19] <inventorgp> WingNut: Use the partitioning tool on XP
[11:19] <dibblego> DFM, I do, but I want to use only a portion of the file, not the entire file
[11:19] <DFM> sugakushuto, trying to broaden my experience
[11:20] <WingNut_> inventorgp:  Where is that?
[11:20] <DFM> dibblego, in that case I have no idea
[11:20] <nimrodicus23> I've been Microsoft-free for a week now, and it feels awesome :P
[11:20] <sugakushuto> Morten_ try this, goto places on the tool bar, open a user nautilus
[11:20] <WingNut_> lol nimrodicus23
[11:20] <inventorgp> WingNut: do you use XP pro or home?
[11:20] <WingNut_> inventorgp: Home
[11:20] <davetarmac> kauer: hey man - having a spot of bother with that script we did yesterday. it didn't seem to want to play on startup. I've added it to the sessions with the command sudo /home/username/xbox_routes.sh but it didn't load on startup
[11:20] <DFM> nimrodicus23, it gets beter
[11:20] <Morten_> sugakushuto: Done
[11:20] <inventorgp> WingNut: it should be in the system tools
[11:20] <WingNut_> Sadly, I'm bound to MS by my love for video games (and I don't have a console) :/
[11:20] <jon_> how would i go about updating my nvidia drivers with apt-get?
[11:20] <sugakushuto> Morten_ navigate to the same folder and tell me what the owner says
[11:20] <ranjan> WingNut_: get an XBox
[11:20] <nimrodicus23> I've already got a LAMP configuration set up :D
[11:21] <twosouls82> !nvidia | jon_
[11:21] <ubotu> jon_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:21] <inventorgp> WingNut: I cant remember if Home has it
[11:21] <nimrodicus23> it was 100 times easier on linux
[11:21] <JonNoob> kauer: How do I start it from commandline??
[11:21] <WingNut_> inventorgp:  Only disk utilities I see are Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter
[11:21] <sugakushuto> DFM you won't know how much you miss something until you don't have it
[11:21] <inventorgp> Hmm...
[11:21] <Morten_> sugakushuto: owner: root -- group: plugdev
[11:21] <kauer> JonNoob: Well, start with "sudo /usr/sbin/dhcpd" - you may have to inspect the startup script and any config files it sucks in to figure out exactly what parameters it is using - or use "man dhcpd" and manually craft the right parameters (basically just the interface and config file name should be enough). It will be a fiddly job, but running dhcpd is completely harmless. A simpler alternative would ve to edit the startup script (back it
[11:22] <arooni> whats the best limewire clone
[11:22] <arooni> and whats the best bittorrent client
[11:22] <inventorgp> WingNut: Get acronis true image.. google it
[11:22] <DFM> sugakushuto, True, I still use xp a lot and keep up with it since I do freelance
[11:22] <JonNoob> kauer: ok. thanks
[11:22] <kauer> JonNoob: Assuming dhcpd is in /usr/sbin on edubuntu...
[11:22] <sugakushuto> Morten_ Ok, close your su nautilus and type "mount" at the prompt
[11:22] <WingNut_> inventorgp:  Alright, thanks.  Is it free?
[11:23] <inventorgp> WingNut: no.. hold on I'll see if I can find a free one
[11:23] <Morten_> sugakushuto: okay, done
[11:23] <ranjan> arooni: ktorrent or deluge
[11:23] <sugakushuto> DFM I've been windows free since Jan 4, 2007. I was dual booting before that.
[11:23] <WingNut_> inventorgp: ok
[11:23] <sugakushuto> DFM the only thing I miss is the gaming, mostly FPS
[11:23] <JonNoob> kauer: got an error. No subnet declaration for eth3 (172.16.2.1)
[11:24] <General> Do you play COD Suga?
[11:24] <sugakushuto> Morten_ did it spew a bunch of information?
[11:24] <kauer> JonNoob: I think you've found the problem :-)
[11:24] <kauer> JonNoob: Post your config to the pastebin.
[11:24] <Morten_> sugakushuto; yes it did, I try to locate sda1
[11:24] <JonNoob> kauer: :-)
[11:24] <JonNoob> ok interfaces and dhcpd.conf?
[11:24] <sugakushuto> General no, never tried it, mostly BFV and BF2
[11:24] <kauer> JonNoob: dhcpd.conf
[11:24] <Morten_> sugakushuto: /dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type ntfs (rw,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46)
[11:25] <JonNoob> what is the link for pastebin?
[11:25] <sugakushuto> Morten_ AHHHH all is clear now
[11:25] <Morten_> sugakushuto: Sweet!
[11:25] <willwill> JonNoob: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[11:25] <DFM> sugakushuto, same   here, but I turned to my 360 for that. Got tired of upgrading video cards all the time. I still dual boot but what I done was put each on their own HD with their own boot loader's. They don't even know of each other. When I boot I just hit F12 and pick the linux drive.
[11:25] <sugakushuto> Morten_ you cannot successfully modify an NTFS without ntfsprogs
[11:26] <davetarmac> is there a startup file that I can edit to include a custom script - the sessions dialog didn't seem to execute it
[11:26] <kauer> davetarmac: Dave, my man! Still hacking on, I see!
[11:26] <Morten_> sugakushuto; So i need to install ntfsprogs, before anything can be done?
[11:26] <sugakushuto> DFM yeah, all my 360 $ is tied up in the Dell notebook I purchased 2 years agou
[11:26] <ranjan> is any one making a ubuntu version called foodbuntu?
[11:26] <davetarmac> kauer: you knows it. just need to find a way to run the script on boot
[11:27] <sten> hello :)
[11:27] <sugakushuto> Morten_ open symantic and do a search for ntfs
[11:27] <MetalMessiah> um How would i convert a home avi movie to a mpg to be burned to dvd
[11:27] <JonNoob> kauerhttp://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22421
[11:27] <JonNoob> kauer: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/22421
[11:27] <sten> anyone running Gutsy Gibbon tribe 4 and belives it is "stable" enough to have it as standard OS ? :)
[11:27] <ranjan> sten: i am but not too stable
[11:28] <DFM> sugakushuto,  I am going to upgrade to dual core 939 to get the last boost out of it and make it dedicated Ubuntu with a KVM
[11:28] <MetalMessiah> I have looked in alot of places
[11:28] <twosouls82> sten: #ubuntu+1
[11:28] <MetalMessiah> but no luck
[11:28] <sten> twosouls82, ah ok :)
[11:28] <kauer> davetarmac: First make sure your script executes successfully in a terminal: "sudo scriptname". For safety's sake, it is wise to use fully qualified paths to all binaries in the script. Then execute "gksudo scriptname" in the session. At least I think that should work.
[11:28] <sten> ranjan, I see
[11:28] <Morten_> sugakushuto: Okay, done -- Should I just install the ntfsprog ?
[11:28] <rycuda> You could use ffmpeg MetalMessiah.
[11:28] <davetarmac> kauer: gksudo?
[11:28] <sugakushuto> DFM nice, I have my X2 939 $ tied up in MythTV boxes at the moment
[11:29] <ranjan> rycuda: winFF
[11:29] <MetalMessiah> ok thanks
[11:29] <sugakushuto> Morten_ yes but I feel like I am forgetting something
[11:29] <kauer> davetarmac: Pops up a dialog in X asking for your password.
[11:29] <davetarmac> kauer: I had to run the script manually this morning as I could only get to Google if I used the IP
[11:29] <Morten_> sugakushuto: well, we'll give it a try :)
[11:29] <kauer> JonNoob: That pastebinlink doesn't work.
[11:29] <davetarmac> kauer: fair enough. I'll find out tomorrow if it works - for now it ain't broke so I won't touch it ;)
[11:30] <inventorgp> anyone else having trouble getting to packages.ubuntu.com ?
[11:30] <linux_user400354> help, x wont start with the nvidia driver http://rafb.net/p/v7ycAS88.html
[11:30] <JonNoob> kauer: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33431
[11:30] <DFM> sugakushuto, I want to get to where I just use Linux but since I work for myself and am looking to put an MCSA cert to work I keep pluggin in windows
[11:31] <Morten_> sugakushuto: I've installed the ntfsprog, and the other packages it suggest
[11:31] <sugakushuto> Morten_ before you apply those changes also get ntfs-config and ntfs-3g
[11:31] <kauer> JonNoob: What Ip address and mask does your eth3 have?
[11:31] <JonNoob> 172.16.2.1 255.255.0.0
[11:31] <DFM> sugakushuto, I have converted several problem customer's to Ubuntu, great for piece of mind but I loose money because after about 2 weeks they refuse to go back. Well all 5  have converted that is lol
[11:32] <Morten_> sugakushuto: ntfs-config and -3g is now installed aswell
[11:32] <arooni> are there any alternatives fto frostwire?
[11:32] <sugakushuto> DFM well you will get no sympathy from me, I'm a hardcore linuxite
[11:32] <sugakushuto> DFM :-D
[11:32] <sugakushuto> Morten_ Hooray!
[11:33] <nox-Hand> What would be the easiest way to connect my PC to my 34" old-style box TV? Easy and cheap ;)
[11:33] <vbanait> hi, i am using ubuntu 7.04. i share a network with windows. some of the forms we use are created with infopath. how can i use these forms on ubuntu,
[11:33] <DFM> sugakushuto, don't get me wrong I love linux and would like to get my hands on a mac just because but I refuse to pay the money for a highly polished KDE
[11:33] <kauer> JonNoob: Sorry, I have to go do something else :-( Try looking for that error message in Google, I'm sure you'll figure it out. If you are still around when I return, I''ll keep working on it.
[11:34] <Morten_> sugakushuto: should I try the same ones more, with the nfts-prog installed? -- Try to change the group or "others" options? With the root-user
[11:34] <vbanait> i also need to save pdf forms after filling them on local disc. acroread does not allow it. any help
[11:34] <sugakushuto> DFM I build boxes all the time and I push linux like crazy, but if they want windows I smile just the same and give it to them
[11:34] <DFM> arooni, What is wrong with Frost Wire, it seams to work fine for me.
[11:34] <General> it depneds on what connections ur TV has
[11:34] <JonNoob> kauer: Thanks for all your help. You pushed a little farther
[11:35] <sugakushuto> Morten_ whoa chacho, not so fast
[11:35] <inventorgp> WingNut: you there?
[11:35] <WingNut_> inventorgp: Yes
[11:36] <DFM> sugakushuto, same here but now I make them purchase windows and all of the sudden they will consider Linux. I think it's great, everyone wants free stuff but they want it in windows world. I refuse to set them up anymore
[11:36] <Morten_> sugakushuto: hehe okay, didn't do anything -- Im in your might atm. :)
[11:36] <sugakushuto> Morten_ first we need to use "sudo ntfs-config" in a terminal
[11:36] <arooni> DFM,  ic cant type into the search boxes... nothign shows up
[11:36] <inventorgp> WingNut: XP's partitioner is called Disk Management apparently
[11:36] <General> this is my first time in here, how do you send a pvt message to a user?
[11:36] <vbanait> third thing, i need a good medical record application on ubuntu. i installed gnumed. i could not establish database connection.help
[11:37] <faileas> nox-Hand: well, depends on the vidro card and pcs ;)
[11:37] <faileas> *video card and TV
[11:37] <sugakushuto> DFM I feed those people with the "what do you need windows for" line. and if they want hacked software, I tell them to find someone else
[11:37] <Morten_> sugakushuto: A popup comes up: Enable write support for internal/external drives
[11:37] <DFM> arooni, have you checked your network setting's? Did it used to work then quit?
[11:37] <WingNut_> inventorgp:  I think I've seen that around somewhere, but its not in the system tools
[11:37] <sugakushuto> DFM otherwise I make them pay for everything, no discount
[11:37] <Morten_> sugakushuto: Sounds like the right tool for the job :D
[11:37] <arooni> DFM, never worked before... what do u mean check networks ettings
[11:38] <sugakushuto> Morten_ yes, the fog lifting, the light at the end of the tunnel.....
[11:38] <vbanait> hi no answer means nobody knows. is it correct
[11:38] <DFM> sugakushuto, I used to use hacked everything but started feeling guilty once I discovered Linux and the fact I could find just about anything I want legally for free
[11:38] <emja> vbanait: yep
[11:38] <nox-Hand> faileas: It's an old PC but I can upgrade to a faster one easily. Just wondering whether S-Vidio (all I got) will suffice
[11:38] <Morten_> sugakushuto: I check off both of them, just in case... :)
[11:38] <inventorgp> WingNut: I run windows and ubuntu for free... and I usually can find all the software I need, but I cant find any partition management tolls which is weird....
[11:38] <Morten_> of*
[11:38] <vbanait> okay. dear. then i will switch over to windows
[11:38] <emja> inventorgp: tried gparted?
[11:38] <fedora_> does the ubuntu live CD include gcc?
[11:38] <faileas> nox-Hand: if both have it, sure
[11:39] <fedora_> so If I just run the ubuntu live cd, I can use gcc and gdb?
[11:39] <sugakushuto> DFM I felt the claws of the justice system closing in and thats when I quit. A friend of mine was busted and that was too close to home for me.
[11:39] <inventorgp> WingNut: Start----> Programs ----> Accessories ---> sys tools  iirc
[11:39] <DFM> arooni, I have had problems in the past with frostwire not getting out because the ports were locked by default. However last time I loaded Frost it just worked for me.
[11:39] <WingNut_> inventorgp:  Looks like it doesn't come on Home edition :/
[11:39] <inventorgp> emja: windows doesn't like gParted... :(
[11:39] <arooni> DFM, frots = frostwire
[11:39] <arooni> ?
[11:39] <emja> inventorgp: does for me
[11:40] <Morten_> sugakushuto: It just unmounted, fixed what it had to check, and mounted the drive again. Anything else i need to do, before changing the Permissions?
[11:40] <jherrera> !off-topic
[11:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about off-topic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:40] <emja> inventorgp: run it from a livecd
[11:40] <knoppix> hallo
[11:40] <fedora_> !gcc
[11:40] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[11:40] <sugakushuto> fedora_ not sure, but you can use apt-get or synaptic with an internet connection to get it :-)
[11:40] <WingNut_> The Ubuntu userdocs say to use qtparted, but I wanted to check for other opinions first
[11:40] <knoppix> hallo
[11:40] <vbanait> how can i create interactive pdf forms on linux
[11:40] <inventorgp> WingNut: looks like it, not on my home machine, but its on my pro machine....
[11:40] <emja> WingNut_: either way, same thing. just a diff frontend
[11:40] <knoppix> hallo
[11:40] <fedora_> when you install ubuntu from the disk I assume it comes with gcc?
[11:41] <knoppix> hallo fedora
[11:41] <ameyer> fedora_: nope
[11:41] <fedora_> !!!
[11:41] <DFM> sugakushuto, I found linux when I was hacking directv and wanted a working Tivo. It was awesome to learn how Tivo worked but when my company at the time made a deal with directv I quit hacking directv imediately
[11:41] <sugakushuto> Morten_ not sure if you have to do that anymore, as long as you are the permission holder of the files there should be no problem
[11:41] <emja> fedora_: if not, you're just one command away from installing it
[11:41] <knoppix> hallo fedora
[11:41] <DFM> arooni, ok
[11:41] <vbanait> it seems all distros are playing football match here
[11:41] <theo_> hello
[11:41] <DFM> WingNut_, what are you wanting to do?
[11:41] <inventorgp> emja: I already suggested gParted live cd,  did you make blank partitions and then use XP to format it.. cause that works
[11:41] <nox-Hand> faileas: Great!
[11:41] <sugakushuto> Morten_ I used to have dual M$ and Ubuntu but I used a 3rd fat32 partition to use files between them
[11:42] <knoppix> hello theo
[11:42] <theo_> how do you install flash player?
[11:42] <emja> inventorgp: nope, resized existing part'ns
[11:42] <inventorgp> okay...... huh...
[11:42] <sugakushuto> DFM nice, you just brought back some fond memories for me
[11:42] <theo_> or install the flash plug-in?
[11:42] <TBZ> What's the command to see your vid card settings and vendor?
[11:42] <vbanait> knoppix: i want gnumed knoppix which can be installed on disk. can you forward the link
[11:42] <TBZ> grep something another I believe
[11:42] <fedora_> is ubuntu more of user OS not dev OS, in the sense that the default install comes without gcc.  Does it have the packages at all on the CD?
[11:43] <sugakushuto> I hacked a directv tivo for a friends grandmother. put a 160G in place of the 40G and they have yet to fill it up
[11:43] <DFM> WingNut_, I was in here earlier trying to get qtparted to work but it wouldn't and then I tried gparted and it just finished w/o a flaw
[11:43] <inventorgp> BRB
[11:43] <theo_> can anyone help me?
[11:43] <vbanait> no theo
[11:43] <theo_> why not?
[11:43] <ranjan> fedora_:  sudo apt-get build-essential
[11:43] <sugakushuto> DFM you can still get the source, its no crime as long as you pay for the service
[11:43] <vbanait> try snd u will reslise
[11:44] <christ_the_ubunt> you guys suck
[11:44] <WingNut_> DFM:  Thanks, I'll check gparted then (I need to resize an existing XP partition so I can setup a dualboot)
[11:44] <DFM> sugakushuto, I enjoyed doing the tivo more than hackng the cards for directv. that's the problem I didn't
[11:44] <vbanait> sucking is infantile work
[11:44] <inventorgp> christ_the_ubunt: why?
[11:44] <christ_the_ubunt> lol
[11:44] <theo_> how do you install  flash player on a 64-bit system?
[11:44] <inventorgp> brb
[11:44] <emre> hi i'm using ff 2.0.0.6 and it crashes when signing in to yahoo mail. why this happens anyone?
[11:44] <Morten_> sugakushuto; It seems to work, thanks alot for your help! :)
[11:44] <DFM> WingNut_, If you use ubuntu it will do it automatically and you can set the size you want  during the install. piece of cake
[11:44] <ranjan> theo_:  on a 32 bit firefox install u can get flashplayer
[11:44] <WingNut_> christ_the_ubunt:  Thank you for noticing and taking the time to say so.  Most people just go on without saying anything, but you took time to stop and say something.  That's really something.
[11:45] <TBZ> theo_: search the forums, the answer is there
[11:45] <inventorgp> emre: submit the bug to bugzilla
[11:45] <WingNut_> DFM:  Tried that, got an error.
[11:45] <sugakushuto> theo_ goto adobe's site, download flash for linux and use the install script
[11:45] <inventorgp> or the ubuntu one
[11:45] <inventorgp> or ff
[11:45] <christ_the_ubunt> <still waits for wingnut to say something useful
[11:45] <WingNut_> christ_the_ubunt:  Try holding your breath while you wait.
[11:45] <vbanait> how do you install acroread on ubuntu
[11:45] <inventorgp> okay.. I'm BRB NOW!
[11:46] <theo_> it does not worl
[11:46] <vbanait> there is rpm package on adobe
[11:46] <inventorgp> vbanait: use automatix2
[11:46] <theo_> how do you install rpm?
[11:46] <vbanait> what is automatix2
[11:46] <gordonjcp> !automatix | inventorgp
[11:46] <ubotu> inventorgp: 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)
[11:46] <inventorgp> theo_: use alien
[11:46] <sugakushuto> vbanait use synaptic and search for acroread
[11:46] <DFM> WingNut_, did it give you an particular error or just quit? I tried dual booting my aunts Dell and it refused. I ended up having to add a second drive but gparted just impressed me
[11:46] <inventorgp> gordonjcp: I know what automatix is.....
[11:47] <vbanait> synaptic says it could not find package
[11:47] <theo_> i downloaded the rpm. how do you install it?
[11:47] <Flannel> inventorgp: Don't suggest automatix here.  Thanks
[11:47] <inventorgp> vbanait: www.getautomatix.com
[11:47] <inventorgp> okay sorry
[11:47] <sugakushuto> Morten_ np, happy hunting, and may the source be with you
[11:47] <Flannel> vbanait: don't.
[11:47] <gerber^Cavesup> Whats that program that tells me the names of my keystrokes
[11:47] <TBZ> theo_: no need to do that... there is two ways of doing it, 1. search for and follow directions to install ndiswrapper on forums, 2. install 32 bit version of firefox/browser and use it
[11:47] <vbanait> ok
[11:47] <inventorgp> Flannel: why not?
[11:47] <DFM> inventorgp, I have yet to have automatix break any of myinstalls but a lot of people say it does
[11:47] <Flannel> inventorgp: because it's dangerous
[11:48] <rausb0> inventorgp: you didn't read the whole message from ubotu. it basically says "don't use automatix"
[11:48] <Flannel> gerber^Cavesup: xev?
[11:48] <dMz> hi
[11:48] <gerber^Cavesup> Flannel: thanks =)
[11:48] <dMz> how can I see TV on KUbuntu 7.04 ?
[11:48] <theo_> what is the 32bit version of firefox?
[11:48] <dMz> I've to recompile kernel?
[11:48] <ranjan> inventorgp: automatix breaks ubuntu
[11:48] <sugakushuto> dMz with your eyes
[11:48] <vbanait> dear i am interested in acroread only
[11:48] <inventorgp> What the hell guys... if anything is going to break the pc its the end user
[11:48] <dMz> -.-
[11:48] <sugakushuto> dMz I kid, use a tv tuner card
[11:49] <dMz> I've a tv card
[11:49] <inventorgp> ranjan: I have NEVER had problems
[11:49] <Flannel> inventorgp: no, automatix does.  It's horrible.
[11:49] <dMz> but how can I configure it?
[11:49] <rausb0> inventorgp: its the end user like in the end user installs automatix
[11:49] <inventorgp> lol
[11:49] <sugakushuto> dMz there are a few tv apps like xawtv
[11:49] <WingNut_> DFM:  I think its exact words were something like, "An error occured", wasn't awfully informative
[11:49] <ranjan> inventorgp: u r lucky have tried dist upgrading from edgy to feisty?
[11:49] <sugakushuto> dMz and some others
[11:49] <Flannel> inventorgp: That link gives plenty of technical details on why it's bad and dangerous.  You should check it out
[11:49] <dMz> I've installed TVTime
[11:49] <inventorgp> well Flannel ranjan, and rausb0.. do you use automatix2???
[11:50] <inventorgp> Flannel I use Automatix2
[11:50] <Flannel> inventorgp: You're playing with fire.
[11:50] <DFM> WingNut_, I think your going in the right direction using gparted
[11:50] <ranjan> inventorgp: nope
[11:50] <vbanait> i think we talk about acroread rather than automatix
[11:50] <dMz> but TVTime says: I'cant open device /dev/video0
[11:50] <inventorgp> Flannel: no I'm not....
[11:50] <metamorpheus> hello - can someone help me i got a printer problem
[11:50] <inventorgp> Flannel: and what about beryl then?
[11:50] <DFM> Flannel, if you don't like automatix how do you feel about easy ubuntu?
[11:50] <rausb0> inventorgp: no. but i know it destroys the upgrade path to newer ubuntu version, so i will not use it.
[11:50] <inventorgp> !beryl
[11:51] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:51] <Flannel> DFM: easy ubuntu doesn't do anything inheritly unsafe.
[11:51] <sugakushuto> dMz tvtime?
[11:51] <ranjan> theo_: try this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-flash-java-realplayer-under-64bit-firefox.html
[11:51] <Flannel> inventorgp: read the link.  Beryl is unstable yes, but it doesn't break anything else except itself.
[11:51] <inventorgp> rausb0: yes I've found that out.. lol
[11:51] <inventorgp> Flannel: I'm not some dumb kid you know....
[11:52] <rausb0> inventorgp: if you found that out too, why the f*** do you recommend it to others?
[11:52] <WingNut_> DFM:  Thanks, I'll google gparted
[11:52] <DFM> Flannel, I agree, however to date automatix has yet to cause any problems. I use it because it's fast but you can do everything it does if you just look for the codecs
[11:52] <emja> I've got wireless working flawlessly with NetworkManager Applet, but I'd rather the connection was established prior to the desktop coming up. Is there a reason to not do this? If not, how do I go about it, or is there a howto somewhere?
[11:52] <inventorgp> raush0: cause they needed acrobat reader
[11:52] <vbanait> i need to have some  software which can save filled pdf  forms
[11:52] <dMz> sugakushuto, yes
[11:52] <Flannel> DFM: You don't need automatix to do the codecs anymore.  But anyway, this is getting way offtopic.  If anyone would like to continue the automatix discussion, the place is #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:53] <ranjan> !medibuntu
[11:53] <ubotu> medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[11:53] <DFM> WingNut_, just download Knoppix and boot to the live cd. it's packaged and you can do what you want from there. I do think there is a download of just gparted
[11:53] <cursty87_> hi
[11:53] <inventorgp> raushe0: I've only had ONE bad thing happe out of all the installs I've done with automatix2.. and that was my fault...
[11:53] <TBZ> Flannel: Hey Flannel, what is command to view the video info? model and such?
[11:53] <Flannel> vbanait: acroread is in medibuntu
[11:53] <inventorgp> *happen
[11:53] <DFM> Flannel, agreed enough about automatix, I didn't consider how far off we were going
[11:54] <rausb0> inventorgp: anyway, ubuntu systems with automatix installed do not get any support here
[11:54] <sugakushuto> dMz the config file should be located at /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
[11:54] <vbanait> so how should i get it from medibunu
[11:54] <inventorgp> raush0: true
[11:54] <hackerboy> yo whats up
[11:54] <Flannel> vbanait: you can either download the deb individually, or add the whole medibuntu repository and do it that way
[11:54] <ranjan> inventorgp: suggest medibuntu instead
[11:54] <inventorgp> raush0: what would you recommend then?
[11:54] <inventorgp> ranjan: okay
[11:55] <inventorgp> ranjan: wait... I had that (medi) break my system
[11:55] <vbanait> please suggest how can i add repository
[11:55] <arcad3> !postfix
[11:55] <ubotu> postfix is the default Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for Ubuntu. Read more about setting it up here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix or here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto
[11:55] <Flannel> vbanait: http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repository.php
[11:55] <IPGHOST> hi
[11:55] <rausb0> inventorgp: installing acrobat reader only, not the whole automatix script. btw, why does he/she need acrobat reader? aren't the free pdf readers good enough?
[11:55] <Flannel> inventorgp: #ubuntu-offtopic, and Ill explain the differences
[11:56] <sugakushuto> dMz do "sudo gedit(or other text editor here) /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
[11:56] <metamorpheus> uhm can someone help me with my printer problem ?
[11:56] <BigToe7000> sage
[11:56] <IPGHOST> how can i play MP3 on ubuntu?
[11:56] <BigToe7000> !Mp3
[11:56] <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
[11:56] <inventorgp> vbanait: system---> admin---> Software sources... and the third party software tab
[11:56] <humbol1> Concerning ubuntu-kernel:  In debian/config/i386 there are sever config files for subarchs. How can I best create a config file for subarch crusoe or crusoe-lowlatency?
[11:56] <sugakushuto> IPGHOST probably need lame or other mp3 codec
[11:56] <inventorgp> OK OK OK OK... no automatix
[11:57] <metamorpheus> it maybe sounds a little bit stupid but i don't know how to exchange the ink cartridges
[11:57] <metamorpheus> (no i'm not totally dumb)
[11:58] <sugakushuto> IPGHOST I recommend xmms and the lame libs, do a search in synaptic and install appropriately
[11:58] <gerber^Cavesup> Could anybody link me to a nice guide on how to auto mount a windows partition?
[11:59] <inventorgp> Flannel and rausb0: just wondering.. does your swap work??
[11:59] <[swb] > gerber^Cavesup, one sec
[11:59] <IPGHOST> where i can find ubuntu laptops information
[11:59] <metamorpheus> hello someone help me :/
[11:59] <DFM> gerber^Cavesup, Ubuntu 7.04 should do it automatically, if not just right click and select mount. You can then access and read
[11:59] <T-Connect> How I replace the old ubuntu-slick.png with a new ubuntu-slick.png in the /usr/share/pixmaps/splash?
[11:59] <[swb] > gerber^Cavesup, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_Mount_Windows_Partitions
[11:59] <gerber^Cavesup> DFM: Well I use fluxbox, so I dont have all that cool GUI.
[11:59] <[swb] > I highly recomend ubuntuguide as your first port of call
[12:00] <DFM> gerber^Cavesup, ah well I am at a loss.
[12:00] <rausb0> inventorgp: yes
[12:00] <DFM> gerber^Cavesup, are you using fluxbox on 7.04?
[12:00] <vbanait> i added medibuntu
[12:00] <inventorgp> rausb0: how much percentage??
[12:01] <bAndie91> hi everies!
[12:01] <sugakushuto> gerber^Cavesup you will have to edit the fstab in your favorite text editor with root permissions
[12:01] <rausb0> inventorgp: percentage of what?
[12:01] <Blauhaut> selam
[12:01] <gerber^Cavesup> DFM: Yes.
[12:01] <Flannel> vbanait: if you refresh your packages, you'll find acroread in there
[12:02] <vbanait> now few questions. anybody can suggest medical record system which i can install from synaptic mannager and will run without any configuration neede
[12:02] <inventorgp> rausb0: swap???
[12:02] <vbanait> ok Flannel. thx
[12:02] <inventorgp> like 10% or 50%... ?
[12:02] <bAndie91> iv some problems
[12:03] <DFM> gerber^Cavesup, well it should auto mount but I have never used fluxbox so I wouldn't know where to tell you to look
[12:03] <bAndie91> vlock and xlock dont accept my and root's right passes!
[12:03] <rausb0> inventorgp: actual swap usage here is 70mb out of 512mb. i have 256mb ram.
[12:03] <gerber^Cavesup> DFM: I edited my Fstab hopefully it will work.
[12:03] <rausb0> inventorgp: running xubuntu 7.04
[12:03] <inventorgp> rausb0: hmm... I had swap work for the first time last night
[12:04] <inventorgp> rausb0: no I'm using ubuntu 7.04
[12:04] <Blauhaut> How can i give make passport for directories ?
[12:04] <sugakushuto> gerber^Cavesup it would look something similar to this /media/sda# reiserfs defaults 0 2
[12:04] <rausb0> inventorgp: anyway, ubuntu and xubuntu have the same base system
[12:04] <Moez> Hello ! I would like to buy a tablet but i don't know if he works under Ubuntu. An idea ?
[12:04] <DFM> gerber^Cavesup, thats how I got it to work in 6.10
[12:05] <sugakushuto> gerber^Cavesup it would look more like this /media/sda# fat32 defaults 0 2
[12:05] <inventorgp> rausb0: I find that Ubuntu uses nearly all my RAM up (512mB)
[12:05] <Cartas> Is there a simple way to update Thunderbird?
[12:05] <DFM> Moez, thinkpads
[12:05] <dMz> [   11.743406]  usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_nova_t_usb2
[12:05] <dMz>  -> how can I access to this device?
[12:05] <rausb0> inventorgp: well, swap usage depends on how much ram you have and how much memory is actually used by apps
[12:05] <Moez> DFM : ?
[12:05] <inventorgp> rausb0: 512Mb of RAM and a 2Gb swap
[12:06] <sugakushuto> dMz what is the dev?
[12:06] <dMz> sugakushuto, I don't know, I wanna link to a new /dev
[12:06] <DFM> Moez, If you want a used laptop that will work good with linux get an IBM Thinkpad
[12:06] <dMz> but I don't know how to access to this
[12:06] <rausb0> inventorgp: high ram usage does not necessarily mean it is all used by apps. look at the output of "free" and look at the "buffers" and "cached" values
[12:06] <sugakushuto> dMz and is it video for linux approved?
[12:06] <dMz> sugakushuto, yes
[12:06] <inventorgp> hols on rausb0
[12:06] <inventorgp> *hold on
[12:06] <Cartas> Everytime I download a program that's contained in a .tar.gz, I just extract it, go to it in the terminal and do the ./configure, make and make install commands?
[12:06] <Paddy_EIRE> Moez: yeah IBM are releasing a line of Thinkpads with Linux preinstalled soon too :D
[12:06] <sugakushuto> is it a usb tuner?
[12:07] <dMz> sugakushuto, yes
[12:07] <DFM> inventorgp, what are you running that uses that much ram? When I boot my ubuntu only uses 132 megs
[12:07] <Paddy_EIRE> Moez: also acer tend to be pretty good (what Im on now)
[12:07] <rausb0> inventorgp: linux tends to use ram for file caching. so it does not really eat up your ram. if apps need more ram, buffer caches will be reduced.
[12:07] <sugakushuto> dMz goto System>Preferences>Hardware Info
[12:08] <Moez> DFM, Paddy_EIRE : Thanks for the advice (I have a ThinkPad R32 :)). But, i speak about a graphics tablet :)
[12:08] <sugakushuto> dMz skip down to your UHCI
[12:08] <inventorgp> rausb0: at the moment its: 61% progams abd 33% chache, but sometimes its 69% cache and like 20% programs
[12:08] <DFM> Moez, I have an old A21m with a PIII and 320 megs of ram. Installed Ubuntu and all the buttons like volume worked with out changing anything
[12:08] <Paddy_EIRE> Moez: oh, what like a Wacom...?
[12:08] <DFM> Moez, ah well does Lenova sell tablets?
[12:08] <inventorgp> rausb0: well how do I get more use out of swap??
[12:08] <WolfEyes> woof
[12:08] <Moez> Paddy : Yes !
[12:09] <thirst> if i have some swap area on my disk, will the ubuntu live automatically pick it up if i specify "swap=/dev/hda6" as a kernel parameter
[12:09] <sugakushuto> DFM, Moez try Damn Small Linux
[12:09] <fnf> did anyone here try the new intellinuxwireless 3945 driver?. I have some problems finding the AP, but some reported it working quite well.
[12:09] <dMz> sugakushuto,  i don't have Hardware Info in KUbuntu 7.04
[12:09] <inventorgp> rausb0: because I find ubuntu gets way too slow sometimes...
[12:09] <rausb0> inventorgp: you don't. linux will use the swap if it is really necessary.
[12:09] <DFM> sugakushuto, for what? the old laptop?
[12:09] <Paddy_EIRE> Moez: that should not be a problem.... just get a wacom :)
[12:09] <rausb0> inventorgp: the system would be slower *if* more swap would be used.
[12:09] <Cartas> If I download a program, how do I install it?  I don't seem to be able to do the ./configure, make, make install method? :S
[12:09] <sugakushuto> dMz yeah, forgot to ask about your gui
[12:10] <inventorgp> rausb0: I hate slow machines......
[12:10] <Moez> Paddy_EIRE : Thank you ! Heu... With USB ?
[12:10] <rausb0> inventorgp: which hardware do you have?
[12:10] <inventorgp> rausb0: is 2Gb too much?
[12:10] <dMz> KInfoCenter ? sugakushuto
[12:10] <fnf> Cartas: installing the traditional way will likely to break your system, you should use a properly compiled deb.
[12:10] <sugakushuto> DFM oh yeah, I have an old 166 MMx pentium with 48M ram running DSL and it keeps up pretty well
[12:10] <rausb0> inventorgp: too much? no. ram cannot be too much.
[12:10] <Paddy_EIRE> Moez: yeah they work perfectly and there is some great configuration guides in the forums and the documentation pages on ubuntu
[12:10] <DFM> sugakushuto, nice
[12:11] <Cartas> Hm, fnf:  I just downloaded Thunderbird from Mozilla's site.
[12:11] <ranjan> inventorgp: the rule of thumb is swap = 2xRAM
[12:11] <Cartas> And it came as a tar.gz.
[12:11] <sugakushuto> dMz maybe, im looking into it, basically any thing that will show you your hardware
[12:11] <inventorgp> rausb0: P4 2.40GHz, 80Gb HDD, 512Mb DDRRAM 333MHZ
[12:11] <Paddy_EIRE> Moez: if you like to tweak...which I suspect you'd want to
[12:11] <fnf> inventorgp: as a general rule, you should use twice as much as your RAM amount if you intend to use S2R or S2D
[12:11] <[swb] > who would have thought, ubuntu runs damn sweet with no pagefile
[12:11] <[swb] > as long as you have enough ram
[12:11] <inventorgp> raush0: I meant too mush swap...
[12:11] <fnf> Cartas: did you check getdeb.net?
[12:11] <Cartas> I was not aware such a site existed!  Thanks old chap! :)
[12:12] <dMz> sugakushuto,  I see, but I don't see any dvb_usb_nova_t_usb2 in UHCI
[12:12] <sugakushuto> dMz basically a device manager, not sure what it is in KDE
[12:12] <inventorgp> ok... so I used four times as much.. is that maybe why my machine is slow sometimes?
[12:12] <Paddy_EIRE> [swb] : define: enough ram
[12:12] <Moez> Paddy_EIRE : :D
[12:12] <sugakushuto> dMz It would be below that
[12:12] <dMz> then what's the next step?
[12:12] <fnf> inventorgp: no, it doesn't matter how many swap amount you've got, unless you're very low in RAM.
[12:13] <[swb] > Paddy_EIRE, 2 gig is running beautifully for me
[12:13] <sugakushuto> dMz you are looking for the /dev/**** address the system gave the tuner when you plugged it in
[12:13] <[swb] > it was still paging while I had the swap enabled, I think openoffice/firefox will just take however much ram is available
[12:13] <rausb0> inventorgp: oh you mean 2gb swap. no problem with that. but pentium 4 is just a crap cpu. i have a p 4 here too. the pentium m cpus are much better, they are based on the pentium 3. p 4 was really a bad cpu design from intel. especially bad when it comes to virtualization.
[12:13] <inventorgp> well I've got 512Mb of ram and a 2 Gb swap... and its really SLOW sometimes.....
[12:13] <[swb] > but when I disabled the swap it and restarted... it hasnt paged since
[12:13] <Cartas> Um, fnf:  I couldn't find a Thunderbird package at getdeb.net, unfortunately!
[12:13] <dMz> sugakushuto, how can I see the /dev/*** correct?
[12:14] <[swb] > hehe, I am using gnome and beryl and also loving it
[12:14] <[swb] > I recently bought a new system, would highly recomend the core2duos
[12:14] <inventorgp> rausb0: apparently the architecture for P4's can reduce performance
[12:14] <Bspec> anybody know what package i should enable to have xscreensaver extension support when i'm compiling pidgin?
[12:14] <[swb] > mine is certainly super speedy
[12:14] <Paddy_EIRE> Cartas: thunderbird is in the repos.... why are you using getdeb?
[12:14] <Cartas> The one I used from Add/Remove is a really old version.
[12:14] <rausb0> inventorgp: any special situation where your system gets particularly slow?
[12:14] <nasser> hi
[12:14] <DFM> sugakushuto, well gparted is done and I made a fat 32 partition. guess I will reboot into ubuntu and see if I broke anything. thanks for all the advice.
[12:14] <nasser> who can make ModeLine for my HD 40"
[12:15] <[swb] > inventorgp, are you running things like deskbar and beagle?
[12:15] <Cartas> I downloaded a new one from Mozilla, Paddy_EIRE, but I've no idea how to install from a tar.gz.  I tried extracting and using the ./configure, make and make install way, but it didn't work.
[12:15] <inventorgp> rausb0: well I just reinstalled, but when I was multi asking stuff...
[12:15] <sugakushuto> dMz it will be under the UHCI under USB hub interface
[12:15] <inventorgp> [swb] : no
[12:15] <[swb] > Cartas, id you are on ubuntu, can you not aptitude install thunderbird
[12:15] <Paddy_EIRE> Cartas: oh, if you had been using the Linux Mint flavour of feisty the latest thunderbird is available through mintInstall
[12:15] <sugakushuto> DFM np, and may the source be with you as well
[12:16] <fnf> Cartas: I'm downloading the Thunderbird tarball, what is its content?
[12:16] <Cartas> What's an aptitude install then?  Paddy_EIRE:  I've no idea about Mint Flavours.  I'm using Ubuntu 7.04.
[12:16] <rausb0> inventorgp: "multi asking stuff"..? sorry, i don't understand
[12:16] <Paddy_EIRE> Cartas: or you could build it from source
[12:16] <GNine> is there any way to perform a system rollback to original install spec on ubuntu
[12:16] <fnf> Cartas: is there any Makefile in there?
[12:16] <whiteskul> hello everybody
[12:16] <Cartas> Um, is that a particular extension?
[12:16] <inventorgp> rausb0: like using amsn, swiftfox, rythembox, gimp, nvu,  etc....at the same time (well a combination of those)
[12:16] <Paddy_EIRE> !compile | Cartas
[12:16] <ubotu> Cartas: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[12:16] <fnf> Cartas: no, it
[12:16] <fnf> Cartas:... is named Makefile
[12:16] <Cartas> There is none.
[12:16] <whiteskul> is it possible to run ubuntu on an old laptop with only 32mb ram?
[12:16] <sugakushuto> [swb]  sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[12:17] <Flannel> whiteskul: 32mb might be a little skimpy.  Even if you do get some
[12:17] <fnf> Cartas: so it's a binary package, is there any executable?. WHat does the README say?
[12:17] <[swb] > wow awesome, there is a 64bit flash plugin for firefox finally
[12:17] <Cartas> For information about installing, running and configuring Thunderbird
[12:17] <Cartas> including a list of known issues and troubleshooting information,
[12:17] <Cartas> refer to: http://getthunderbird.com/releases/
[12:17] <fnf> Cartas: the package is ~11MB so it will take me a few minutes to download.
[12:17] <Paddy_EIRE> [swb] : is there
[12:17] <Flannel> whiteskul: some *buntu derivative, it'll run slow.  You're probably better off with a distro thats designed for old laptops, something like Deli linux or whatnot
[12:17] <Mondmann> Mondmann
[12:17] <inventorgp> rausb0: like using amsn, swiftfox, rythembox, gimp, nvu,  etc....at the same time (well a combination of those)
[12:18] <ranjan> fnf: i think one can just untar maybe into opt and start using it
[12:18] <rausb0> inventorgp: hmm. i don't know. yesterday i ran my xfce desktop, firefox, irssi, xmms, gkrellm, mplayer playing a dvb-t stream and it ran fine
[12:18] <whiteskul> flannel: thanks. any other distribution recommendations? i just want to experiment a little.
[12:18] <[swb] > Paddy_EIRE, apparently, will give you a yell if it works for me
[12:18] <exodus> Quick question, why do some of my files have a name in red?
[12:18] <inventorgp> rausb0: sometimes I got 100% CPU too
[12:19] <fnf> ranjan: perhaps, Mozilla usually release binary packages by default unless user specifically states to download the source, but putting in /home is a better idea.
[12:19] <inventorgp> rausb0: maybe I should move to xfce... I've heard a lot of good things about it
[12:19] <Flannel> whiteskul: I can't keep track of them, no.  Google would be a good choice "lightweight linux" or "old laptop linux" or osmething like that.  Also, distrowatch and www.linux.org have some search/filter/whatever things.  linux.org is how I found delilinux
[12:19] <rausb0> inventorgp: if you have 100% cpu over a longer time period, you should check with "top" in a terminal which process is the cpu hog
[12:19] <Cartas> Just say when it's downloaded, fnf! :)
[12:20] <inventorgp> rausb0: as in using xfce is not SLLLLOOOOW
[12:20] <setkeh> omg kopete is so dodgy lol
[12:20] <fnf> Cartas: yep.
[12:20] <rausb0> inventorgp: :)
[12:20] <inventorgp> lol
[12:20] <whiteskul> thx flannel, bye
[12:20] <ranjan> Cartas: http://www.munmon.com/amroth/2007/06/11/thunderbird-20-in-ubuntu-704/
[12:20] <GNine> == is there a way of doing a system restore type operation in ubuntu
[12:20] <inventorgp> rausb0: usually firefox or swiftfox.. and amsn is my little CPU eaters...
[12:21] <Cartas> Thanks ranjan, old chap!
[12:21] <Flannel> GNine: sure, reinstall.  If your home is on a separate partition, it's easy and painless
[12:21] <rausb0> inventorgp: yeah, amsn seems to be badly coded
[12:21] <GNine> roger that
[12:21] <rausb0> inventorgp: fortunately i don't use msn at all
[12:21] <inventorgp> rausb0: you'v got that right about amsn....
[12:21] <sugakushuto> dMz did you find it?
[12:22] <rausb0> inventorgp: in fact i don't use any instant messaging protocol, just irc
[12:22] <inventorgp> rausb0:  I hate it how I cant use pidgin...
[12:22] <inventorgp> rausb0: really?
[12:22] <phiras> How can change my java home ?
[12:22] <Paddy_EIRE> inventorgp: why cant you use pidgin?
[12:23] <frojnd> how can I check what distro I use in command line ?
[12:23] <Flannel> frojnd: lsb_release -a
[12:23] <sleepster> what's better desklets
[12:23] <sleepster> adesklet or gdesklet
[12:23] <inventorgp> Paddy_EIRE: because it conflicts with gaim and if I uninstall gaim.. I need to uninstall ubuntu-desktop
[12:23] <GNine> if i do reinstall... do i have to set glx again?
[12:23] <Moez> Paddy : Wacom's prices is haard ! :(
[12:23] <theo_> hello
[12:24] <inventorgp> sleepster: I'v used gDesklets.. I liked it
[12:24] <sugakushuto> inventorgp you could run a binary from your home folder, maybe....
[12:24] <theo_> who knows how to use beryl?
[12:24] <rausb0> inventorgp: ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage. the desktop itself won't be deinstalled if you remove that package.
[12:24] <ranjan> theo_: hello
[12:24] <Flannel> GNine: yeah.  You could always backup whatever config files you need.  What do you really want though? sicne 'factory settings' seems to mean different things.  What are you trying to undo?
[12:24] <sleepster> inventorgp:  ok thanks
[12:24] <Paddy_EIRE> Moez: then there has to be a cheaper alternative..although good graphics tablets are expensive anyhow
[12:24] <inventorgp> rausb0: ok, but what will happen if I dont have ubuntu-desktop?
[12:24] <Paddy_EIRE> !pidgin | inventorgp
[12:24] <ubotu> inventorgp: 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.
[12:24] <inventorgp> sleepser: no probs
[12:25] <sugakushuto> inventorgp the end of the world as we know it.....
[12:25] <theo_> who can help me with beryl?
[12:25] <frojnd> Flannel: command not found
[12:25] <inventorgp> sugahushuto: ??????
[12:25] <Moez> Paddy : Hmmm... Okay ! Thank you very much ! Have a nice day !
[12:25] <frojnd> Flannel: if I lsb_realease -a
[12:25] <inventorgp> sugahushuto: well.. it is.. lol
[12:25] <Flannel> frojnd: release not realease
[12:25] <Daann> My Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card only sometimes gets detected by feisty, is it broken?
[12:25] <rausb0> inventorgp: like i said, it is only a metapacke. an empty package with dependencies.
[12:25] <Cartas> fnf:  How's it going, old chap?
[12:26] <GNine> flannel: i messed up installing css and software for dvd playback through gxine.  now i got too many packages installed and cant figure out which one is at fault
[12:26] <ranjan> theo_: have u installed your video card driver
[12:26] <theo_> i did
[12:26] <ranjan> theo_: desktop effects?
[12:26] <Flannel> GNine: you've got a log of what you installed, if you know when the problem started
[12:26] <frojnd> Flannel: -bash: lsb_release: command not found
[12:26] <theo_> but i dont understand how to use the beryl settings manager
[12:26] <fnf> Cartas: it's a binary package, if you have a file manager, just double click on 'thunderbird' is OK.
[12:26] <theo_> i enabled desktop effects
[12:26] <rausb0> frojnd: do you have ubuntu? then type   cat /etc/issue
[12:27] <inventorgp> rausb0: so I can unistall all the games cept mahjongg and gaim if I have ubuntu-desktop uninstalled????
[12:27] <ranjan> theo_: does it work?
[12:27] <theo_> the cube works
[12:27] <chandra_> hello all, i bought a new scanner BENQ 5000, installed xsane, should i also have to install sane??
[12:27] <Cartas> Hm?  I extract it first, then just double-clicking opens the folder, fnf...
[12:27] <Paddy_EIRE> theo_: desktop effects has nothing to do with beryl
[12:27] <Paddy_EIRE> !effects | theo_
[12:27] <ubotu> theo_: For help or discussion on Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[12:27] <Flannel> frojnd: do you have ubuntu installed?
[12:27] <phiras> Please help me , How can I change the java home on my ubuntu ??
[12:27] <Cartas> Oh, you mean the thunderbird inside the folder.  I see, fnf.  Thanks! :)
[12:27] <theo_> i used synaptic to download beryl
[12:27] <fnf> Cartas: yep, it should work :)
[12:27] <rausb0> inventorgp: don't know for the games, maybe they're all in one package. but you can uninstall gaim, yes.
[12:28] <inventorgp> WOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!
[12:28] <Cartas> fnf:  Anyway I can add the application to the Applications -> Internet menu?
[12:28] <rausb0> inventorgp: i think the games are all in the gnome-games package
[12:28] <ranjan> theo_: bery merged with compiz, better to use compiz fusion
[12:28] <frojnd> Flannel: no I was looking for distro and it appears it's readhat
[12:28] <inventorgp> rausb0: thank you!!!
[12:28] <inventorgp> rausb0: so how to I only keep mahjongg?
[12:28] <fnf> Cartas: sure, the GNOME menu isn't very flexible in that regard though. You'll have to use Alacarte: right-click on the Main Menu->Edit
[12:28] <rausb0> inventorgp: you can find out about mahjongg:  dpkg -S $(which mahjongg)
[12:29] <bullgard4> Ich mchte MySQL Query Browser inBetreib nehmen undwei nicht, was ich bei 'Default Schema' eintragen mu. Ich habe eine Datenbank #NorthwindMySQL, die ich phpMyAdmin sehen kann.
[12:29] <GNine> flannel: i have checked the log.  the problem is a little more obscure. i have all software necessary and i get a no demuxer found error.
[12:29] <inventorgp> rausb0: ok
[12:29] <stuart-> i have a DSL connection, but i need to connect manually with password and username. i get differetn IPs all the time, but i ehard from a friedn that i could configure PPPOE to get the same IP everytime i connect. can i configure this in ubuntu?
[12:29] <Flannel> frojnd: hmm, well, I'm surprised redhat wouldnt' have lsb_release, but I guess.
[12:29] <ranjan> theo_: follow this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=481314
[12:29] <sugakushuto> Daann you might need the updated firmware from broadcom
[12:29] <rausb0> inventorgp: if mahjongg is part of the gnome-games package, you cannot keep only mahjongg
[12:29] <sugakushuto> Daann http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
[12:30] <rausb0> inventorgp: if it is a separate package, you can uninstall the other games without removing mahjongg
[12:30] <fnf> Cartas: it should be as easy as dragging-n-dropping to the menu though
[12:31] <Cartas> fnf: Everytime I run it, I have to use the 'thunderbird' file I just used?
[12:31] <inventorgp> rausb0: it looks like its in the pakage.... but I could copy all the files.... and paste them back maybe?
[12:31] <[swb] > Paddy_EIRE, woahs awesome it works
[12:32] <Daann> My Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card only sometimes gets detected by feisty, is it broken?
[12:32] <Flannel> GNine: Ah.  If you have a liveCD, you can get a package listing from that (boot to it, list the packages installed), that'll be identical the ones you start with.  Just remember to ignore removing your grpahics card stuff
[12:32] <fnf> Cartas: yeah, or add a new item to the main menu which points to that file.
[12:32] <sugakushuto> Daann oops, try this link instead https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[12:32] <rausb0> inventorgp: not a good idea. file under /usr and such should be known by the package manager. if you uninstall gnome-games and then put back mahjongg only, the package manager knows nothing about it and it won't be in the menu.
[12:32] <[swb] > Paddy_EIRE, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_install_Flash_Player_.28Macromedia_Flash.29_Plug-in_for_.2864-bit.29_Mozilla_Firefox_.28only.29

[12:33] <fnf> Cartas: thunderbird compiled in a DEB package will have an icon in the menu and everything in place automatically.
[12:33] <inventorgp> rausb0: I could write a shortcut...
[12:33] <sugakushuto> rausb0, inventorgp you can add it back if you really want it
[12:33] <metamorpheus> hey you guys i need some help, i have just installed my new printer and noticed that one  cartridge is empty, but i can't find no "option" or so that allows me to exchange it.  it's Epson stylus C40UX ... can someone help me please ?
[12:33] <Cartas> fnf: But how does one get a deb package of it if it's not at getdeb? :p
[12:33] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: YAY!!!!!
[12:33] <fnf> Cartas: compile one ;)
[12:33] <Flannel> GNine: That's ok.  You can still download the desktop CD.  Or, if you want to be dificult on yourself: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.manifest
[12:33] <Cartas> Would that one have the icon in? :o
[12:34] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus rt click your printer under the printers
[12:34] <inventorgp> be right back
[12:34] <fnf> Cartas: alright, I'll give it a shot.
[12:34] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus found under System>Printers
[12:34] <metamorpheus> i am there
[12:34] <metamorpheus> yes
[12:35] <rausb0> sugakushuto: i wouldn't recommend that without knowing how linux-skilled inventorgp is
[12:35] <metamorpheus> sugokushuto but i can't find it there ... -.-
[12:35] <fnf> Cartas: have to waste another 5 mins again to download source, sigh.
[12:35] <wryyyyzor> DCC SEND C:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
[12:36] <Cartas> It's okay, fnf.  You don't have to! :)
[12:36] <sugakushuto> rausb0 even if inventorgp is not, he/she will soon have more skill under thier belt
[12:36] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus cannot find what where?
[12:36] <fnf> Cartas: I'll be back in a few minutes.
[12:36] <GNine> flannel: i dont like messing with ISO.  i guess am gonna start counting files
[12:36] <GNine> heheh
[12:36] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus rt click the printer, choose properties
[12:36] <theo_> how do you use beryl?
[12:36] <metamorpheus> sugakushuto uhm some button or so that allows me to exchange the cartridge
[12:37] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus yeah, we are getting to that
[12:37] <metamorpheus> ok
[12:37] <metamorpheus> and then ?
[12:37] <theo_> can someone help me with setting up beryl? thank you
[12:38] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus in the properties window, choose the advanced tab
[12:38] <metamorpheus> sugakushuto ok
[12:38] <Flannel> GNine: those are packages, not files.  And, uh, if you... take that list, remove the version stuffs, and then diff it with dpkg --get-selections, that'll automate the process a bit.
[12:38] <stuart-> is there a way to setup my DSL so i could connect to the same server (get the same IP) everytime i connect?
[12:38] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus there will be a 'Resolution, Quality, Ink Type......
[12:38] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus with a button next to it

[12:39] <metamorpheus> sugakushuto ok
[12:39] <Flannel> stuart-: no, even if you connect to the same server, you won't necessarily get the same IP.  You might be interested in something like dyndns.org or some other dynamic hostname sort ofthing
[12:39] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus that should say "Controlled by 'Printout Mode'
[12:39] <neopsyche> VMWARE now free?

[12:40] <stuart-> Flannel, right now i'm 202.95.*.*, i don't mind the last numbers changing, but if i'm on the server that is 202.94.*.* my connections is actually faster, which is why i'd wanna connect to the same server
[12:40] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus then goto the button below that and choose greyscale if you want to eliminate the color cartridge
[12:40] <Cartas> ranjan: Done that!  Now what do I do?
[12:41] <ranjan> Cartas: then sudo apt-get update
[12:41] <Cartas> Okay, thanks.
[12:41] <ranjan> Cartas: then sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird
[12:41] <sugakushuto> all - I never knew how much fun helping others could be ;-)
[12:42] <Zaiden> Maybe you could help me :P
[12:42] <sugakushuto> Zaiden WHADYA WANT, im kiddin
[12:42] <Cartas> ranjan: I got 'Invalid Operation install'
[12:42] <metamorpheus> sugakushuto uhm i can't find "Controlled by 'Printout Mode' there :D
[12:42] <neopsyche> what kind of vmware product do i need to install ubutnu on vmware in windows
[12:43] <Paddy_EIRE> is there any good guides out there for learning to program for newbies.... specifically C linux's main language
[12:43] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus you are on the Advanced tab rt? under your printer properties page?
[12:43] <Cartas> ranjan: Nevermind, got it doing now, thanks :)
[12:43] <Zaiden> I installed ubuntu a few months ago, and I had a problem involing my Graphics card (nvidia FX5200 1828MB PCI), xwindows, and a command line promt I don't remember too well.
[12:43] <metamorpheus> "Controlled by 'Printout Mode' right i am there
[12:43] <rausb0> neopsyche: don't know. i don't use windows at all. but rumour has it qemu is also available for windows.
[12:43] <metamorpheus> sugakushuto yes i am there
[12:44] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus ok choose the greyscale if you want to eliminate the color cartridge
[12:44] <neopsyche> rausb0: thanks
[12:44] <sugakushuto> Zaiden and the issue is......? no graphics?
[12:44] <metamorpheus> sugakushuto i want to exchange it ... put another cartrige in the printer
[12:45] <neopsyche> lol... why is it .. i seem to enjoy chatting to people here .. generally more than anywhere else on the web!
[12:45] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus that has to be done with your hands
[12:45] <neopsyche> (joke)
[12:45] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus do you have the new cartridge?
[12:46] <neopsyche> The ubuntu community is great .. the users are generally helpful .. thanks all.
[12:46] <Zaiden> I can't go past 1024x768 with screen resolution, I can't install Ubuntu unless I go through Safe Graphics mode, and Firefox lags when scrolling if theres a flash item on the page, and it doesn't usually do that
[12:46] <metamorpheus> sugakushuto yes
[12:46] <variant> anyone have errrors when updating sources from security.ubuntu.com?
[12:46] <metamorpheus> sugakushuto but i need the printer to ... "open" to let me exchange it with my hands
[12:46] <sugakushuto> Zaiden sounds like you need the restricted drivers for your Nvidia?
[12:47] <sugakushuto> goto System>Administration>restricted drivers
[12:48] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus if you open the lid the cartridges and jet unit should come to the center so you can exchange the cartidges
[12:48] <Zaiden> I also remember having to go into a file and changing some things around to include my Graphics card name, only thing I can remember was sudo nano and xfc11 or something.
[12:49] <sugakushuto> Zaiden are you using Gnome?
[12:49] <linux__alien> i need to setup a CVS Server whats the best place to set it up (in terms of directory) i mean should i set it up in / or /home ?
[12:49] <Zaiden> Yes
[12:49] <sugakushuto> Zaiden did you try using the restricted drivers tool?
[12:50] <Zaiden> I think I did
[12:50] <sugakushuto> Zaiden It will overwrite(in a good way) your previous X11 settings
[12:50] <Zaiden> Ah, ok
[12:50] <sugakushuto> go ahead and try it again
[12:50] <Zaiden> Ok
[12:50] <metamorpheus> sugakushuto but it doesn't ... i have used the printer under windows before and i had to do something with software (and not my hands :p)  too
[12:50] <inventorgp> I'm Back
[12:51] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus what kind of printer is it?
[12:51] <linxeh> is there a tutorial for getting an ubuntu server part of a Windows 2003 active directory domain, so we can use it as a samba fileserver with transparent accounts/passwords, and so that people can ssh / scp in ?
[12:51] <metamorpheus> epson stylus C40UX
[12:51] <inventorgp> why does ubuntu log out when I'm like away for half an hour???
[12:51] <rausb0> inventorgp: does it?
[12:51] <sugakushuto> inventorgp back again? did you bring coffee?
[12:51] <linxeh> inventorgp: it should just lock the screen or similar at most
[12:52] <inventorgp> rausb0; yeah... logs ouy
[12:52] <inventorgp> *out
[12:52] <linxeh> inventorgp: mine stays logged in for months at a time sometimes :o
[12:52] <rausb0> inventorgp: i never experienced that
[12:52] <inventorgp> suakushuto: lol.. sorry no coffee
[12:52] <rausb0> inventorgp: maybe the screensaver kicked in and crashed the X server
[12:53] <metamorpheus> sugakushuto Epson stylus C40UX
[12:53] <inventorgp> and I reinstalled Fiesty a couple of days ago.... I've never had it happen
[12:53] <SoulChild> how to fix this : "ACPI Warning (tbfadt-0360): Ignoring BIOS FADT r2 C-state control " ???
[12:53] <inventorgp> rausb0: actually.. that maybe it.. I'll get a non-gl screen saver
[12:53] <sp1nter> inventorgp: did u reinstall the video drivers also
[12:53] <inventorgp> oh wait.. it happened when I had a non gl saver
[12:54] <inventorgp> yes I did
[12:54] <inventorgp> and I installed beryl....
[12:54] <inventorgp> I like compiz better... now...
[12:55] <stuart-> do i get the optoin to turn beryl on/off after installing?
[12:55] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus here is a link with instructions on how to change the ink with the keypad
[12:55] <sugakushuto> metamorpheus http://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/sc40ux/sc40uxu1/INK_1.HTM
[12:55] <inventorgp> thats IT.. I'm gonna reinstall.... BERYL doesn't load even tho its in sessions....
[12:55] <metamorpheus> thank you a lot
[12:55] <inventorgp> beryl = problems
[12:55] <inventorgp> lol
[12:55] <inventorgp> Xorg, I can handle... crappy performance, I cant
[12:56] <rausb0> inventorgp: may gfx hardware isn't 3d accelerated at all... (SiS onboard)
[12:56] <sugakushuto> inventorgp tried to setup beryl once, for 8 days
[12:56] <rausb0> s/may/my
[12:56] <SoulChild> hey all: what package do I need??? I have a Intel Card but Xorg says:(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[12:56] <inventorgp> lol sugakushuto
[12:56] <Jjohn> i thought beryl and compiz had joined to become fusion???
[12:56] <inventorgp> rausb0: I've got a nVidia MX400 ugh....
[12:56] <sugakushuto> Jjohn news to me, but sound interesting
[12:57] <rausb0> inventorgp: but i don't need that 3d eyecandy anyway
[12:57] <ompaul> Jjohn, go to #ubuntu-effects for all that info
[12:57] <stuart-> inventorgp, same here. does compiz run well on that card?
[12:57] <inventorgp> rausb0: I onnly like the window changer shorcuts :)
[12:57] <Jjohn> just that every one was comparing the two and I believe they are the same now
[12:57] <WingNut_> wow, somebody with a video card that's nearly as crappy as mine
[12:57] <sugakushuto> inventorgp I liked 3ddesktop tho
[12:58] <inventorgp> stuart-: it works great!!, it has better anti ailising than beryl
[12:58] <Alloosh> hi guys, I have a home network, Iam using a tunnel connection to connect my xp machine to the net throw the ubuntu machine, any way I have samba activated, and I can see ubuntu shared stuff on the xp, but cant see the xp in the ubuntu.
[12:58] <sugakushuto> WingNut_ what an intel i810?
[12:58] <Alloosh> any idea
[12:58] <Alloosh> ?
[12:58] <rausb0> WingNut_: which one do you have?
[12:58] <stuart-> inventorgp, you installed xserver-xgl?
[12:58] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: you using compiz?
[12:58] <inventorgp> stuart-: nope
[12:59] <sugakushuto> inventorgp na, just 3ddesktop to get the ooooh, aaahhh effect from the vista hounds
[12:59] <rausb0> sugakushuto: hehe, the infamous i810. i815 is also very crappy. the first usable intel gfx card was the i855gm.
[12:59] <inventorgp> !3ddesktop
[12:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 3ddesktop - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:00] <sugakushuto> rausb0 intel makes a decent video card?
[01:00] <Jjohn> !fusion
[01:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fusion - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:00] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: agh mind blank... 3ddesktop as in?
[01:00] <rausb0> sugakushuto: i have a i945gm (aka gma 950) card in my notebook. no problems so far.
[01:00] <sugakushuto> rausb0 I played with a Dell Inspiron 6000 with the 915gm, needless to say I ordered mine with the X300 ati
[01:01] <rausb0> sugakushuto: well, i am not a gamer
[01:01] <rausb0> sugakushuto: at least not when it comes to 3d h/w accel
[01:01] <sugakushuto> rausb0 thats ok, i wont hold it against you
[01:01] <sugakushuto> rausb0 what is your fps using glxgears or glxinfo?
[01:02] <inventorgp> rausb0: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop   to install Xubuntu????
[01:02] <sugakushuto> inventorgp or use synaptic and do a search for xubuntu, that way you get all the juicy bits you might otherwise miss
[01:03] <rausb0> inventorgp: yes. if you do that from installed ubuntu, it won't uninstall the gnome packages though.
[01:03] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: ok thanks
[01:03] <inventorgp> rausb: kk cool
[01:03] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: juicy bits?
[01:04] <rausb0> inventorgp: i guess you will have the choice of running a gnome session or xfce session at the gdm login then
[01:04] <stuart-> inventorgp, hm. the other channel isn't responding. how did you install compiz? have a site for that?
[01:04] <sugakushuto> inventorgp any apps, themes, screensavers, or other errata you may miss out on just by doing a plain xubuntu-desktop
[01:04] <inventorgp> can I use gnome software/pakages on xfce?
[01:05] <sidewalk> When is the next version of Ubuntu going to be released?
[01:05] <rausb0> inventorgp: yes, as long as they don't need the gnome panel
[01:05] <inventorgp> sugakushuta: so how big is my download going to be?... lol
[01:05] <inventorgp> rausb0: sweet, didn't know that
[01:05] <Alloosh>  hi guys, I have a home network, Im using a tunnel connection to connect my xp machine to the net throw the ubuntu machine, any way I have samba activated, and I can see ubuntu shared stuff on the xp, but cant see the xp in the ubuntu. any idea?
[01:05] <ranjan> sidewalk: October
[01:05] <sugakushuto> inventorgp aaw just a few gigatrons
[01:05] <inventorgp> lol
[01:06] <sidewalk> ranjan: I it 7.05 or 7.1?
[01:06] <sugakushuto> inventorgp idk, depends on what you select
[01:06] <ranjan> 7.10 for 2007, October
[01:06] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: true.. I guess its going to be a few gigatrons then.... lool
[01:06] <inventorgp> *lol
[01:07] <sugakushuto> Alloosh I have been trying to get samba to work for me for the last 6 months. I have been all over the documentation and I seem to have the most trouble with XP and Vista
[01:08] <sugakushuto> inventorgp yeah it could be worse, a few gigatrons and 23 niblets
[01:08] <inventorgp> you guys have samba probs too???
[01:08] <Alloosh> sugakushuto, it gave me headache at first, but when I found out the trick I managed to do it easily, can you tell me how your network look like?
[01:08] <inventorgp> sugakushuto:.. oh I forgot about the 23 niblets....
[01:08] <sugakushuto> all - yes for the love of all that is holy, samba needs better doc and more examples
[01:09] <inventorgp> I agree sugakushuto
[01:09] <Alloosh> I agree with you, but you have to be aware that every one connect the network in different way, so the documents guys cant cover all cases
[01:10] <inventorgp> hmm.....
[01:10] <sugakushuto> Alloosh I have tried most but not all apps including the infamous swat. the wall I keep banging my head against is the XP side acting like I dont even exist. I have looked at ports, firewalls, workgroup names, caps/no caps, users with and without passwords, smbfs, and many more
[01:11] <sugakushuto> Alloosh I'm not giving up, someday I will conquer that mountain. I wish I could help you, I really do. I can feel your pain.
[01:11] <Alloosh> suga, just tell me how your network look like and i will try to help, what are the wires and modems yiu are using
[01:12] <Alloosh> I have it connected, iam trying to help you here. so tell me how all are connected and i will show you the problem
[01:12] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: done anything with edubuntu?
[01:13] <ranjan> inventorgp: other than installing i have done nothing
[01:13] <sidewalk> Will it be painless to upgrade Ubuntu 7.04 -> 7.1?
[01:13] <inventorgp> Alloosh: I kinda gave up... I'll probably try after I get my machine to work properly, thanks anyways
[01:14] <ranjan> sidewalk:  mostly it will be
[01:14] <sugakushuto> Alloosh The server is on a wireless router via 10/100 cat5, the client0(my notebook with ubuntu) via wireless, and the client1(a desktop with XP home) via 10/100 cat 5
[01:14] <inventorgp> ranjan: hmm.... you think I should give it a try?? I've got a spare partition....
[01:14] <nomad111> does anyone in here use a logitech vx revolution mouse?
[01:14] <ranjan> inventorgp: don't know i have never used it
[01:14] <tikka> Anyone setup ubuntu with an Acer Laptop, and having issues with the cdrom hdc.. hdc: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } ide: failed opcode was: unknown hdc: drive not ready for command
[01:15] <inventorgp> ranjan: lol.. ok
[01:15] <sugakushuto> inventorgp I installed all of the cool KDE educational apps but not edubuntu, I hear good things tho
[01:15] <inventorgp> ranjan: what ubuntu are you using?
[01:15] <ksivaji>  is there any command to check cpu temperature ?
[01:15] <ranjan> inventorgp: gutsy tribe 4
[01:15] <Alloosh> suga, here is the deal, first you will need to get a main machine, which is connected to the net, and you can choose windows machine or ubuntu, I prefer to get ubuntu connected directly to the net, but what ever you want is fine
[01:16] <siddharth> hiii
[01:16] <rausb0> ksivaji: cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
[01:16] <ranjan> inventorgp: mint cassandra on other 2 machines
[01:16] <sugakushuto> Alloosh the router is connected via wan to the net
[01:16] <siddharth> ranjan
[01:16] <siddharth> how r u
[01:16] <Hacksign> hi room i want to know a compiler's name i just remembered part of the name it's essi.......
[01:16] <siddharth> ?
[01:16] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: I will NEVER use kde.. lol.... I have a friend with it.. and he like the _____ control where you take over other edu pc's
[01:16] <Hacksign> who can tell me ?
[01:16] <siddharth> hac sone
[01:16] <ranjan> siddharth: hi
[01:16] <Alloosh> if the xp machine is connected to the net, you will need to make the connection shared, and disable the firewall, and if the ubuntu is directly connected to the net you will need to allocate ip addresses to the rest of the machine.
[01:17] <ksivaji> cat: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature: No such file or directory
[01:17] <siddharth> ho ranjan r u indian
[01:17] <inventorgp> ranjan: a tester aye?.... hows Gutsy going along?
[01:17] <sugakushuto> inventorgp you can still use most KDE apps in Gnome tho

[01:18] <ranjan> inventorgp: lint gnome
[01:18] <Alloosh> its awesome method, you will need to use a program called quidedog, try this link http://www.cwassall.co.uk/pages/linux/ubuntu-router.html
[01:18] <inventorgp> mmmm gnome
[01:18] <linux__alien> cant i create an other user called cvs and why is that the /home/cvs directory is not getting created
[01:18] <siddharth> gome  that s nice one
[01:18] <sugakushuto> Alloosh they are all connected at the same time. I have temporarily dissabled the net and configured all without firewalls and nada
[01:18] <siddharth> so whats u doing ther?

[01:22] <Jjohn> Hacksign, looks like essi is a protocol and you need a C compiler for it.
[01:22] <ranjan> siddharth: where in india
[01:22] <inventorgp> ranjan, so will 7.10 come out in time then?
[01:22] <sugakushuto> inventorgp no kidding, I did notice I could see the ubuntu server early on, then after a weeks and a windows update, it all went away
[01:22] <rausb0> sidewalk: it's 7.10, not 7.1 (7 for 2007, 10 for october)
[01:22] <siddharth> do u know hindi or gujarati
[01:22] <ranjan> siddharth: i know hindi
[01:22] <guardian> hi, i upgraded feisty to gutsy but lots of things are a bit weird like font sizes and other visual stuff. do you think reinstalling gutsy from the beginning would help compared to dist-upgrade ?

[01:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia
[01:24] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:24] <K3nto> compwiz18: already installed, both the drivers AND compiz
[01:24] <siddharth> where u live in india
[01:24] <ranjan> siddharth: pune, u?
[01:24] <compwiz18> K3nto, then press ctrl+f2 and then in the box  type compiz
[01:25] <whalesalad> hey does anyone know of a tool to help me diff two mysql databases?
[01:25] <faileas> >_>
[01:25] <K3nto> compwiz18: ok now what. no cube
[01:25] <siddharth> i am from gujarar in ahemdavad
[01:25] <faileas> dump the databases and run diff?
[01:25] <compwiz18> K3nto, press ctrl+alt+left arrow
[01:25] <JonNoob> kabus: Are you back?
[01:25] <compwiz18> K3nto, or press ctrl+alt+right arrow
[01:25] <ranjan> siddharth: kem che?
[01:25] <Reilithion> So, in general, which company is more open-source friendly?  NVIDIA or ATI?  Is there a 3rd option?
[01:25] <K3nto> compwiz18: nothin just selecting text lol
[01:26] <compwiz18> hm
[01:26] <PriceChild> Reilithion, intel
[01:26] <inventorgp> sugakushuto, I'm gonna go install xcfe now....
[01:26] <compwiz18> are you sure it is running?
[01:26] <siddharth> bas majama
[01:26] <Jack_Sparrow> Nvidia
[01:26] <siddharth> u aslo know gujarati?
[01:26] <ranjan> siddharth: i understand
[01:26] <siddharth> ohh
[01:26] <Jack_Sparrow> !offtopic > siddharth:  ranjan
[01:26] <sugakushuto> inventorgp sounds interesting but .... ftp right.... good luck with the xfce and the poor ui that comes with it. You can change how it looks tho, just more work than Gnome
[01:26] <rausb0> ranjan, siddharth: please take your off-topic conversation to another channel. this one is for ubuntu support.
[01:27] <Reilithion> PriceChild: Is Intel that much open-source friendlier?  Have any sources I could check?
[01:27] <compwiz18> K3nto, are you sure it is running?
[01:27] <PriceChild> Reilithion, intel releases open source drivers for their video cards, wireless etc.
[01:27] <PriceChild> Reilithion, ati and nvidia's are closed binaries
[01:27] <Reilithion> Jack_Sparrow: What makes you say so?  Can you produce any sources?  I'd like to read more.
[01:27] <K3nto> compwiz18: nope. also there is an update available in update manager, and it doesnt seem to be installing
[01:27] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: guess what??!?!!? its only going to be 57.4Mb.. not a few gigatrons and 23 what ever the other things were... lol XD
[01:28] <sugakushuto> PriceChild not all intel drivers are released as source
[01:28] <PriceChild> sugakushuto, no... but more than the others :P
[01:28] <compwiz18> K3nto, what happens if you open a terminal and type compiz in it?
[01:28] <sugakushuto> inventorgp lucky
[01:28] <Jack_Sparrow> Reilithion: Between Nvidia or ATO  people here have lots less trouble with nvidia...
[01:28] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: the ftp was for work, but I had fun it... ages ago...
[01:28] <Catsceo> is there a command to stop xserver?
[01:28] <sciboy> Hi
[01:28] <inventorgp> hi
[01:28] <sugakushuto> Jack_Sparrow thats because Nvidia has better binary support
[01:29] <K3nto> compwiz18: apparently my xgl isnt present? although nvidia drivers are enabled in the restricted thing
[01:29] <rausb0> Catsceo: you can terminate the X server immediately with ctrl-alt-backspace
[01:29] <sciboy> I'm getting an Intel Quad Q6600 and I was wondering what type of kernel I have to go for? Up till now I've been using an AMD Athlon 64
[01:29] <compwiz18> K3nto, nvidia drivers should be using aiglx
[01:29] <PriceChild> Reilithion, if you want "definitely" working suspend and resume, good power management... go with intel. If you want raw power at expense at battery life, possible loss of resume and hibernate, then choose nvidia
[01:29] <zeroflag> does anybody know an linux vm that cun run XP with directx and direct hardware access?
[01:29] <sugakushuto> K3nto are the restricted drivers properly configured?
[01:29] <rausb0> Catsceo: but it will restarted by gdm or kdm after that
[01:30] <K3nto> sugakushuto: dunno
[01:30] <K3nto> compwiz18: im gonna pastebin what happens. sec
[01:30] <compwiz18> K3nto, ok
[01:30] <sugakushuto> zeroflag that dog won't hunt. I'm a former BFV, BF2 and counterstrike source player

[01:31] <inventorgp> CS:Source!!!
[01:31] <zeroflag> geez.
[01:31] <Zaiden> I'm having a new problem after installing Ubuntu 7.04
[01:31] <zeroflag> I can't use my raid in windows, I can't use my graphics/sound hardware in linux... great!
[01:31] <inventorgp> lol zeroflag
[01:31] <siddharth> ranjann
[01:32] <siddharth> r u there?
[01:32] <compwiz18> K3nto, try running compiz --replace
[01:32] <sugakushuto> zeroflag I have been trying to game ever since I gave up on M$ and wine is ok, cedaga is better(worth it) but you have to have a super hot rig to pull off the DirectX to OpenGL conversion
[01:32] <JonNoob> Please help... My dhcp server won't start. I am running edubuntu feisty.
[01:32] <zeroflag> sugakushuto: wine doesn't get my x-fi to work with linux, does it?
[01:32] <PriceChild> zeroflag, that isn't supported in linux eod really.
[01:33] <rausb0> JonNoob: any messages in the logs why it won't start?
[01:33] <zeroflag> PriceChild: exaclty my problem...
[01:33] <sugakushuto> zeroflag therin lies the $6M ?
[01:33] <K3nto> compwiz18: success! kinda. its flat, like flpping a peice of paper back and forth. no cube
[01:33] <JonNoob> rausb0: no messages. I checked syslog daemon.log and messages
[01:33] <zeroflag> sugakushuto: the what?
[01:33] <sugakushuto> zeroflag so far I have found that you have to be a registry wiz to get anything stable or decent
[01:34] <compwiz18> K3nto, good, so now I think that there should be a program called compiz-manager or somethnig like that?  Look in the applications menu under system toosl
[01:34] <sugakushuto> zeroflag the six million dollar question
[01:34] <K3nto> compwiz18: also, my windows dont have borders
[01:34] <Zaiden> When I install Ubuntu 6.06, how do I update to 7.04?
[01:34] <zeroflag> sugakushuto: I doubt you can get hardware drivers to work by messing with the registry...
[01:34] <PaulEU> hello!
[01:34] <PriceChild> !upgrade | Zaiden
[01:34] <ubotu> Zaiden: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:35] <rausb0> JonNoob: can you put your /etc/network/interfaces and your /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf on pastebin?
[01:35] <K3nto> compwiz18: nope no ccsm
[01:35] <JonNoob> sure. What is thr url?
[01:35] <rausb0> !pastebin > JonNoob
[01:35] <PaulEU> what's name of command for listing running on boot services? I find a'la chkconfig - but there I didn't found
[01:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Zaiden: Do a full backup... it is very easy and it could save you if if dosent go well
[01:35] <PaulEU> it is there exists ?
[01:35] <sugakushuto> zeroflag I prefer to use Cedaga, it is pretty much wine but with many more preconfigurations to assist you in your fps addiction
[01:35] <compwiz18> K3nto, the windows with out borders problem is ..... fixable but I don't remember how
[01:35] <inventorgp> kento in system--->preferences--->>> sesions, instart up programs add beryl manager.. and emerald --replace
[01:36] <sugakushuto> zeroflag I speak from experience
[01:36] <siddharth> ranjan
[01:36] <christian> My printer stopped working since I dist-upgraded to 7.10 (Brother HL-2030)
[01:36] <Zaiden> Reason I ask is that, when I installed Ubuntu 7.04 through a live CD in Sage Graphics mode, I still got an x windows error
[01:36] <compwiz18> K3nto, if you go back to that terminal and type compiz- and then press the tab key twice after typing the -, there should be a list of programs that show up
[01:36] <christian> Is there a way to downgrade only cups (and dependencies)?
[01:36] <inventorgp> ***k3nto in system--->preferences--->>> sesions, instart up programs add beryl manager.. and emerald --replace
[01:36] <compwiz18> K3nto, see if one looks useful
[01:36] <PaulEU> :/
[01:36] <zeroflag> sugakushuto: still doesn't get my hardware to work...
[01:37] <elops> Here's the story. I want to learn linux, so I'm trying to install it on a crappy old laptop I got from a friend. It's a Compaq Armada 110 with a Pentium III and 128Mb of ram. The Ubuntu and Xubuntu livecds hang before they get to the desktop, so I can't install them. The third thing I tried, was some no-name distro called BeaFanatIX, which works. However, I've been advised to go with something more popular instead. What do I do?
[01:37] <zeroflag> sugakushuto: my problem isn't wine or games, my problem is my hardware and my IDE...
[01:37] <sugakushuto> zeroflag you are correct hardware acceleration is in a different place, getting the game made for windows to play nice with the wine API is what I am talking about
[01:37] <PaulEU> elops: do you have too small RAM
[01:37] <inventorgp> elops what version of ubuntu do you have?
[01:38] <PriceChild> !alternate | elops
[01:38] <ubotu> elops: 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
[01:38] <sugakushuto> zeroflag my bad, you need your 3d acceleration tho right?
[01:38] <JonNoob> rausb0: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33435
[01:38] <zeroflag> sugakushuto: my X-FI doesn't work on linux! not even with wine!
[01:38] <PaulEU> elops: I run successfully on laptop PIII 850MHz with 392 MB RAM
[01:38] <Gary> elops, use the ALT cd
[01:38] <PriceChild> elops, you should have at leat 192Mb of ram to use the live cd
[01:38] <K3nto> inventorgp: im not using beryl or emerald though. compiz is what im using
[01:38] <sugakushuto> and your X-FI is....
[01:38] <K3nto> compwiz18: nothing really looks useful
[01:38] <zeroflag> and cuda probably won't work either...
[01:38] <inventorgp> k3nto: oh ok...
[01:38] <PriceChild> elops, use the alternate cd as ubotu has instructed you
[01:38] <Frogzoo> anyone found that vmware player 2.0 locks up on feisty?
[01:38] <zeroflag> sugakushuto: Creative X-Fi soundblaster.
[01:38] <compwiz18> K3nto, ask how you locate the compiz settings manager, I don't know how
[01:39] <PriceChild> sugakushuto, x-fi's DON'T WORK on linux.
[01:39] <sugakushuto> zeroflag sound card, it might use a software engine to decode the audio streams
[01:39] <PaulEU> hmm nobody know ?
[01:39] <K3nto> i need help configuring compiz
[01:39] <elops> PriceChild: trying the alt cd right now
[01:39] <Frogzoo> sugakushuto: x-fi closed driver coming Q3/4
[01:40] <PaulEU> hmm nobody don't know ?
[01:40] <sugakushuto> zeroflag had no idea, bitchx is delicious
[01:40] <PriceChild> K3nto, #ubuntu-effects please
[01:40] <K3nto> ok
[01:40] <PaulEU> what's name of application for listing services on console?
[01:40] <PriceChild> PaulEU, top
[01:40] <compwiz18> K3nto, sounds like that might be worth a try
[01:40] <elops> PriceChild: Should I try out linux on a virtual computer
[01:40] <sugakushuto> all - I learned something new today
[01:40] <PaulEU> PriceChild: eee?
[01:41] <PriceChild> elops, well your machine won't run it in a virtual machine... not enough ram
[01:41] <PaulEU> I'd like find command like chkconfig
[01:41] <Frogzoo> elops: maybe the live cd?
[01:41] <PaulEU> but there isn't exists
[01:41] <elops> PriceChild: what would you suggest me to do please?
[01:42] <koodycc> i cant enable desktop effects!! can someone help me with this?
[01:42] <sugakushuto> elops sure, why not
[01:42] <PriceChild> elops, well use the alternate cd...?
[01:42] <PriceChild> koodycc, #ubuntu-effects please
[01:42] <Venko> Super Penguin Racer and Tux Kart run extremely slow on this machine. I'm guessing it might be something to do with openGL. This machine uses an ATI graphics card.
[01:42] <koodycc> thanks
[01:43] <sugakushuto> Venko do you have the gl utilities installed?
[01:43] <K3nto> does anybody know why an update in update manager wouldnt go away? i can install it repeatedly
[01:43] <Venko> I haven't heard of them so I guess not.
[01:43] <ZmaX> I cannot configure my tv card: it is an CX4216x model
[01:43] <rausb0> JonNoob: looks okay. except there is a "iface eth0 inet static" line but no ip config lines for eth0. for the dhcp config, why is "next-server 172.16.2.1;" commented?
[01:43] <sugakushuto> K3nto check your repositories and make sure they are compatible with each other
[01:44] <Venko> Turning openGL on on Super Tux also causes a problem. It runs smoothly without that option so it's definitely an openGL problem.
[01:44] <sugakushuto> K3nto I have wine repositories outside of the ubuntu servers and I cannot do an update
[01:45] <HolidayB> is this the correct area to ask compiz fusion questions?
[01:45] <JonNoob> Both thing just me trying to get it to work :-) i am changing it now
[01:45] <sugakushuto> Venko have you tried glxgears in a terminal?
[01:45] <K3nto> sugakushuto: i seee
[01:45] <siddharth> holiday b
[01:45] <Venko> I don't know what any of this stuff is.
[01:45] <K3nto> sugakushuto: so i gotta take em outta my sources/list?
[01:45] <siddharth> k3ntoooo
[01:45] <siddharth> hiii
[01:45] <HolidayB> sidd.. yes?
[01:45] <inventorgp> !xubuntu
[01:45] <ubotu> xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[01:46] <sugakushuto> Venko they are tools to help you test the 3d capabilities of your graphics card
[01:46] <GrandKhavatari> HolidayB: Try #compiz-fusion
[01:46] <K3nto> siddharth: hello
[01:46] <Venko> Aha. *checks the package manager*
[01:46] <inventorgp> !LAMP
[01:46] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[01:46] <siddharth> who is ther?
[01:47] <Sonicadvance1> I is ther
[01:47] <sugakushuto> Venko also make sure you have the ati restricted drivers installed as well
[01:47] <sugakushuto> inventorgp I love, lamp
[01:48] <Venko> The ATI accelerated graphics driver is installed and in use.
[01:48] <General> well Im new to this so Im thinking 1 dumb question is ok.....how do you send a private message to a user?
[01:48] <inventorgp> sugakushuto, I cant always get it to install properly, but LAMP is GOOOOD
[01:48] <sugakushuto> Venko 2 points for the conversion
[01:48] <WTF> guys i have a simple question .. what is the BEST IRC client for linux .. or the one you use/prefer THANKYOU

[01:49] <rausb0> JonNoob: of course you have to put eth0 in a subnet other than eth3

[01:52] <cyphase> In Tomboy, isn't there a note name you can use to set a template for the note of the day?
[01:53] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: I was thinking of using RHEL cause its easier to setup and less time consuming.... but I did download ubuntu server 7.04.... hmm...

[01:53] <JonNoob> rausb0: i have internet access. I think i run sshd :-) How do i check it??
[01:53] <sugakushuto> inventorgp if you are running Ubuntu server you might as well run a debian box. all in all pretty much the same
[01:53] <JonNoob> rausb0: got a number
[01:54] <rausb0> JonNoob: okay. are you behind a NAT router?
[01:54] <JonNoob> yes
[01:54] <inventorgp> so... run Debian 4.0 instead of ubuntu server 7.04??
[01:54] <K3nto> sugakushuto: and i tried instlling the compiz update again but it still wont go away

[01:59] <fyrestrtr> GrandKhavatari: no.
[01:59] <inventorgp> sugakushuto: your wise words are to wise for me.. lol
[01:59] <sugakushuto> inventorgp you are saying rhl not rehl?
[01:59] <Reilithion> GrandKhavatari: I do know that 64-bit mode allows access to more RAM, which would mean things would go faster if you used (and had) a lot of RAM.
[01:59] <inventorgp> hehe.. yes RHL7.1....
[02:00] <Dead_Guy> I've heared that burners speed up and that you can hold more ram..  not sure how true that is
[02:00] <inventorgp> not RHEL
[02:00] <WTF> sugakushuto : the forum answers just said to update your driver .. now how exactly do you update ur gaphic card's driver .. thank you

[02:01] <HolidayB> haha yes, i planned on turning it off
[02:01] <sugakushuto> WTF make sure you have the restricted drivers, the default X11conf file and make sure there are no other grfx drivers installed
[02:01] <Symmetria> hrm, anyone got any recommendations in here about decent squid log analyzers?
[02:01] <faileas> its the same, and free
[02:01] <Symmetria> preferably multi-threaded
[02:02] <fyrestrtr> Symmetria: splunk is quite good.
[02:02] <ompaul> inventorgp, that is not a ubuntu support question, and please check out cent-os via google
[02:02] <HolidayB> how would I go about mounting it.. it doesnt have an operating system on it.. its just one big music directory
[02:02] <Symmetria> fyrestrtr capable of handling HUGE log files?
[02:02] <inventorgp> faileas: I tried to download that through my ISP (cause it doesn't cost me Mb's)... and didn't download
[02:02] <fyrestrtr> HolidayB: once it is plugged in, turn on your computer.
[02:02] <HolidayB> right on, turning it on mounts it?
[02:02] <faileas> inventorgp: bitorrent!
[02:02] <fyrestrtr> HolidayB: double click on the computer. Then double click on the drive and enter your password.
[02:02] <sugakushuto> K3nto what version of ubuntu do you have and did you upgrade from a previous version?
[02:02] <faileas> only an idiot would download a cd using a normal connection ;)
[02:02] <inventorgp> ompaul: I wasn't asking for help with centos
[02:03] <fyrestrtr> Symmetria: yes, it is also distributed.
[02:03] <Symmetria> fyrestrtr ok, cause I've got a cache thats doing a thousand hits a second
[02:03] <inventorgp> faileas: why a torrent....
[02:03] <Symmetria> thats dumping its log files to a processing box every hour
 thanks ... ok i did that .. how do u update .. thank you
[02:03] <sugakushuto> faileas as apposed to an abnormal connection?
[02:03] <inventorgp> is ompaul a bot?
[02:03] <fyrestrtr> Symmetria: splunk works the same way; you have an agent, that dumps the logs to central server, where you query them from the web.
[02:03] <fyrestrtr> check it out.
[02:03] <faileas> sugakushuto: as opposed to say a damn fast one in a uni ;)
[02:03] <inventorgp> or does ompaul make accusations?
[02:04] <rohan> what is this error ? rohan@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[02:04] <rohan> The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
[02:04] <K3nto> sugakushuto: fresh install, feisty
[02:04] <sugakushuto> WTF if you have auto update on it should notify you, otherwise you will have to wait or find X11conf files that are better suited to your needs
[02:04] <MARIUSmarius> pixmap and clearlooks engines.
[02:04] <inventorgp> faileas: bit torrent isn't any faster the ftp or http for me
[02:05] <MARIUSmarius> how t oget and make them working ?

[02:06] <mailavj> how can i do it from command line jack
[02:06] <Jack_Sparrow> One sec..
[02:06] <inventorgp> Faileas: true.. Ive used bit torrents a couple of times... but the 1st time I used the the bit torrent that came with ubuntu... I should of had a download in 3hours... and it took 18hours...

[02:17] <str1> hi, after installing lm-sensors correctly using the ubuntu forums guide... there is a strange zzzzz noise from my PC... i changed /etc/sensors.conf and now there is NO alarms when i type "sensors" yet noise still remains... any ideas ?  thanks
[02:17] <AlinuxOSOS> should I copy a content of CD on usbpen ?
[02:17] <Bogaurd> I'm trying to pair my bluetooth headset with my pc, so that I can use it as a sound device. Can someone point me in the direction of some information on doing this?
[02:17] <dissection> !bluray
[02:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bluray - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:18] <dissection> !blu-ray
[02:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about blu-ray - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:18] <sugakushuto> theo__ the linux32 is so you can have 32 bit native software running while the system is still 64 bit
[02:18] <dissection> Anyone here knows about blu-ray? I checked the ubuntu site, and while it says how to play HD-DVD, it doesn't say anything about a blu-ray movie player software. Anyone know if it can be done?
[02:18] <theo__> it cant find skype!
[02:18] <gerzel> Anyhoo only my business in this channel.  I'm trying to get lynx or any other text/console based webbrowser to work, but for some reason none of  them seem to be able to access the internet.  I'm able go go online with other programs.  This xchat is running on the same box. and I'm able to do other online operations in the console like ping websites and run tinyfugue.
[02:20] <sugakushuto> dissection you might try doing a search for blueray css decrypition so you can decrypt the disk to be able to read it
[02:21] <Casperin> any recommendations for a flash program to Ubuntu?
[02:21] <sugakushuto> dissection the RIAA might also have your door beat down and have you arrested for using such software illeagaly
[02:21] <dissection> sugakushuto, I found only AACS decryption for HD-DVD.. Not for Blu-Ray
[02:21] <dissection> So you're saying I can't watch movies on my computer?
[02:21] <sugakushuto> dissection its coming or it may be hard to find due to the DMA laws in your area
[02:22] <K3nto> can someoen help me get the borders on my windows back?
[02:22] <sugakushuto> you can watch movies, no problem, you cannot decrypt a disc without constent
[02:22] <dissection> So how do I watch a blu-ray movie then?
[02:23] <sugakushuto> PS3 or find a solution to your unique problem
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !skype
[02:23] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto

[02:23] <Thunderzzz> Just installed Ubuntu with Wubi.  I must say it was very easy
[02:24] <Thunderzzz> I can't see some avi files.  Presume due to virtual disk with Wubi
[02:24] <Thunderzzz> This even recognized my network printer
[02:24] <Thunderzzz> Very cool
[02:24] <aneb> Thunderzzz: avi files can be seen
[02:24] <IceLink> hi there
[02:25] <aneb> Thunderzzz: so what do you mean?
[02:25] <Thunderzzz> It was black for me aneb and every once in a while I could see it
[02:25] <IceLink> is there a program for linux that can rip songs from a cd AND fill in id3-tags from an online-database?
[02:25] <Thunderzzz> I downloaded vlc player
[02:25] <sugakushuto> dissection as far as I know there is no difference between the 3 formats on linux unless you have special hardware to make it so
[02:26] <Thunderzzz> but it played the avi files with no video only sound
[02:26] <Jack_Sparrow> IceLink: I use sound juicer
[02:26] <dissection> Three? Whats the third one?
[02:26] <IceLink> juicer, thanks
[02:26] <faileas> Thunderzzz: sounds like a missing codec to me
[02:26] <IceLink> juice, hmh?
[02:26] <aneb> Thunderzzz: you need w32codecs i think, there is absoolutely no difference between wubi and a ubuntu install, in fact they use the same cd image.
[02:26] <Thunderzzz> I installed codecs too
[02:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Thunderzzz: gstreamer ?
[02:27] <sugakushuto> Thunderzzz you probably just need codecs
[02:27] <Thunderzzz> np I will figure it out
[02:27] <aneb> Thunderzzz: see above
[02:27] <Thunderzzz> yeah got gstreamer
[02:27] <dissection> Thunderzzz, try VLC player
[02:27] <Thunderzzz> I did
[02:27] <Thunderzzz> one question
[02:27] <sugakushuto> dissection regular old DVD, blue ray, and HD-DVD
[02:27] <IceLink> Jack_Sparrow: you mean juice, this consoleprogram?
[02:27] <Thunderzzz> I like a clean desk top with nothing on it
[02:27] <aneb> Thunderzzz: that is why you see the wubi installer downloading a iso for ubuntu
[02:28] <dissection> sugakushuto, well DVD uses CSS, Bluray and HD DVD uses AACS
[02:28] <Jack_Sparrow> IceLink: No.   Program called sound juicer from the repos
[02:28] <Thunderzzz> now I have folders there
[02:28] <sugakushuto> Thunderzzz you might need pitfdll and no that is not a misspelling
[02:28] <IceLink> Jack_Sparrow: oh sorry, i didn't read the "sound" before juicer
[02:28] <gerzel> Can anyone help me get lynx to access the internet?
[02:28] <Thunderzzz> any way to get rid of them without doing something bad
[02:28] <sugakushuto> dissection yes, but it is encrypted all the same
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> IceLink: You just want it to pull the album names and song titles right?
[02:29] <IceLink> Jack_Sparrow: well, the more the better
[02:29] <aneb> Thunderzzz: um, use your miouse,. drag your mouse across the folders but press your left button first
[02:29] <Jack_Sparrow> IceLink: My 70 year old neighbor loves that program ... easy and reliable
[02:30] <Reilithion> Oh yeah.  Anyone know if/when the D language backend for GCC will be available in the main repositories?
[02:30] <IceLink> Jack_Sparrow: i'll try it out on that cheap disk
[02:30] <Thunderzzz> can I just delete them?
[02:30] <Thunderzzz> or unmount them?
[02:30] <aneb> Thunderzzz: yes! i am telling you how!
[02:30] <Thunderzzz> k
[02:30] <sugakushuto> Reilithion as far as I know it will never be due to licensing issues
[02:30] <aneb> Thunderzzz: then right click and look for a delete or move to trash area
[02:31] <Reilithion> sugakushuto: What licensing issues?
[02:31] <Thunderzzz> it won't hurt anything?
[02:31] <aneb> Thunderzzz: it wont
[02:31] <Thunderzzz> k
[02:31] <Thunderzzz> two are drives
[02:31] <Thunderzzz> can I unmount them aneb
[02:32] <aneb> Thunderzzz: well, you cant delete them ;-) right click on one icon, and select eject from the menu.
[02:32] <aneb> Thunderzzz: eject == unmount
[02:33] <Thunderzzz> k
[02:33] <gerzel> lynx gives me unable to connect to remote host, links crashes when I try to goto any url, I can get other non-http console based internet applications to access the web, such as ping or tinyfugue, and I can get firefox to work, along with xchat that I'm talking to you now on.  Can anyone at least point me in the direction of some help?
[02:33] <Thunderzzz> aneb what if I need to view their contents later
[02:34] <aneb> Thunderzzz: easy, let me look in the menu:
[02:34] <AlinuxOS> hello, is it possible to use USB pen as source for installing Ubuntu ? I have no CD-ROM... help!

[03:00] <ubotu> MARIUSmarius: 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?
[03:00] <shearn89> yay! i managed to connect!
[03:00] <roshan_s> jeroenvrp: May I ask why you need to disable OpenGL? An easy way is to comment out the Load "glx" line in xorg.conf, I think.
[03:00] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: i think he did actually ;)
[03:00] <MARIUSmarius> where can i find guide with working links how to install my printer?

[03:01] <jeroenvrp> roshan_s: because I have non-accelatered onboard card and I think it gives some problems, so I want to disable openGL to see if that is the evel one
[03:01] <quattrodrifter> does anybody know if xubuntu runs on 64mb ram computer?
[03:02] <jeroenvrp> quattrodrifter: yes I think it us
[03:02] <jeroenvrp> quattrodrifter: but try trhe alternate install
[03:02] <jeroenvrp> quattrodrifter: oh wait
[03:02] <quattrodrifter> with the alternate cd?
[03:02] <roshan_s> jeroenvrp: That's not very likely. What kind of problems are you having?
[03:02] <Paddy_EIRE> quattrodrifter: you would be asking a bit much... maybe try dsl
[03:02] <shearn89> i think xubuntu needs at least 256mb.
[03:02] <pabs3> packages.ubuntu.com seems to be down, anyone know when that will be fixed?
[03:02] <jeroenvrp> roshan_s: when I play a video in vlc, sometime x is crashing
[03:02] <MARIUSmarius> thanks
[03:03] <shearn89> if you've only got 64mb, try the alternate install, and then maybe install a stirpped down window manager like openbox.
[03:03] <quattrodrifter> ok i'll try
[03:03] <jeroenvrp> quattrodrifter: wait
[03:03] <Paddy_EIRE> jeroenvrp: are you running any eyecandy
[03:03] <roshan_s> jeroenvrp: That is quite certainly nothing to do with OpenGL. Try looking up Xvideo. You might want to see if VLC supports different ways of rendering video

[03:05] <Paddy_EIRE> jeroenvrp: oh, does any other video player crash X on you...mplayer
[03:05] <jeroenvrp> roshan_s: well so maybe there is a problem with xvideo, you say?
[03:05] <quattrodrifter> is there any option  in the alternate install to choose a stripped down windowmanager?
[03:06] <quattrodrifter> thx
[03:06] <jeroenvrp> Paddy_EIRE: well ig I compile mplayer from svn, yes it crashes also
[03:06] <hydester> how do i add more locales for setlocale to use?
[03:06] <shearn89> quattrodrifter: no, but you could try the server install.
[03:06] <habo> what can i use to run windows applications besides WINE.. thank you
[03:06] <faileas> habo: windows
[03:06] <Paddy_EIRE> habo: crossover office
[03:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Is crossover Pro worth the effort
[03:06] <jeroenvrp> quattrodrifter: please read the full circle issue
[03:06] <jeroenvrp> there is a special about that in it
[03:07] <faileas> crossover office/ crossover pro/cediga are all varients of wine
[03:07] <shearn89> habo: are you using it for games, or other stuff?
[03:07] <roshan_s> jeroenvrp: Possibly. If you don't have hardware OpenGL support, any GL programs fallback to using Mesa, which is a software renderer and if anything more stable than any hardware. And video players don't use OpenGL by default anyway, so disabling OpenGL will not solve your problem. You might want to Google for your card and driver for similar problems
[03:07] <Paddy_EIRE> habo: wine-doors aint bad
[03:07] <Jack_Sparrow> habo: What are you wanting to do with it?
[03:07] <habo> games and applications
[03:07] <jeroenvrp> Paddy_EIRE: the reason why I though about openGL, is that when I cleck on openGL in ksystemsettings, the system freezes
[03:07] <habo> i wanna run mathmatica on it
[03:07] <jeroenvrp> ok I must confess I use gutsy
[03:07] <Jack_Sparrow> habo: Dual boot...

[03:10] <JarG0n> shearn89> that's strange... I remember my first time on an IRC channel.  I thought it was so cool that my computer was showing sentences people typed live.
[03:10] <JarG0n> very alien
[03:11] <shearn89> its just like messenger, but without the whole contacts thing. much cooler!

[03:24] <giant> buck, I'm not sure I Can help you.  If you pastebin your xorg.conf I might be able to see an error in it if I compare it to my own

[03:27] <dromer> does anyone know why jahplayer isn't in the repo's ?
[03:28] <kauer> gerso: Sorry, can't help you myself. My point was that questions like "can anybody help with..." aren't useful. Ask the actual question that needs an answer.
[03:28] <Lattyware> dromer: No one packaged it?
[03:28] <dromer> Lattyware: not that I know of, the jahplayer website has a .sh made for dapper
[03:28] <kauer> gerso: If you are getting static though, something is working. Not having sound support enabled generallyresults in total silence :-)
[03:28] <finalbeta> DBlue: then I doubt that program can help you.
[03:28] <buck> okay .. this works

[03:34] <gerso> can someone explain how to turn sound support on?
[03:35] <DBlue> finalbeta, please press about button on gnome-screenshot, and tell the site of the one who made that program, cause now i'm in internet caffe with stupid windows
[03:35] <finalbeta> DBlue: they will never add that, and if they do, it will take ages.

[03:35] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[03:38] <docmur> I'm editing the config file and I want to know what syntax it can use

[03:39] <locke> kauer: no, i have xinerama, I can drag them half way over but they stop at a certain point.
[03:39] <roshan_s> IceLink: WebKit is a derivative of KHTML used in Apple's Safari browser. KHTML isn't used in any other mainstream browsers AFAIK
[03:39] <brunotvrs> I happened to me at work... And the videocard there is some onboard stuff
[03:39] <kauer> locke: What point to they stop at? :-)
[03:39] <locke> kauer: A different point depending on the width of the window

[03:43] <roshan_s> IceLink: Opera uses its own proprietary engine, which is a whole different can of worms
[03:44] <finalbeta> roshan_s: Or, complying to standards doesn't mean your site will actually render ok

[03:44] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[03:46] <flow^> I've noticed that too but it doesent bother me so much
[03:46] <kauer> locke: If you drop the window at that point, can you then move the mouse to the other monitor, grab the window, and drag it the rest of the way?

[03:47] <macabro22> ahmm it figures...
[03:47] <rogue-> Nunzio: why should this channel ban the word "windows" ?

[03:52] <CaBlGuY> Hmmmm
[03:52] <CaBlGuY> we got support for SDL??
[03:52] <macabro22> roshan_s: it should divide words without breaking up syllabes, i. e. Docu-ments and not Documen-ts
[03:53] <roshan_s> macabro22: Yes, I thank Pango is the package that handles this
[03:53] <roshan_s> CaBlGuY: Of course Ubuntu has SDL

[03:56] <Sno> anybody have any experience with ubuntu distcc?
[03:56] <rypt> libfaad2-0 leal
[03:56] <roshan_s> macabro22: No, your problem probably indicates a bug in Pango, which is used for text rendering. I would file a bug against nautilus though
[03:56] <Venko> warjo: ATI graphics?
[03:56] <warjo> no, nVidia
[03:56] <Thunderzzz> ok a couple of questions.  I just installed Ubuntu with the help of Wubi, so will Ubuntu update itself with its next release automatically?
[03:56] <Venko> Not the same problem as me then.
[03:56] <lueho> what is the cmd to remove all files in a folder?

[03:59] <macabro22> thanks
[03:59] <poison> how do I uninstall something I installed with dpkg?
[03:59] <CaBlGuY> ohad, all you should have to do is switch the power save settings, and u should be good to go
[03:59] <ohad> Pelo, already done so. wireless is working but flaky
[04:00] <kauer> locke: What does "CRT, CRT+LFP" mean in monitor layout? I'd expect to see something more like "CRT, LVDS".

[04:00] <warjo> Hey guys, anyone who can help me with that slow issue? :(
[04:00] <jrib> poison: dpkg -r, apt-get remove, aptitude remove, synaptic, ... any package manager.  It should show up in the same database
[04:00] <rypt> fs, is packages.ubuntu.com broke :(
[04:00] <CaBlGuY> ohad: whens the last time you did an update??
[04:00] <locke> kauer: yea, I don't exactly know, but it worked, so I dunno, I will try "LFP,CRT"
[04:00] <roshan_s> CaBlGuY: SDL isn't really a DirectX replacement. It'll handle the input devices, etc. but for 3D programming you need OpenGL
[04:00] <ohad> this morning?.
[04:00] <poison> jrib: the graphical programs doesnt show it
[04:01] <lueho> !kernel
[04:01] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[04:01] <jrib> poison: what's the name of the package?
[04:01] <lueho> i need to get the code for the kernel. how is this done?
[04:01] <poison> bcm43xx
[04:01] <ohad> CalBlGuy - switch it off/on in the bios - are you sure you are talking about x61s? cause other people had the same problem - i can go into suspend mode - but then coming back from it i can hardly see anything on the monitor
[04:01] <locke> lueho: sudo apt-get install kernel-source i believe
[04:02] <CaBlGuY> roshan_s: Now ya tell me...  actually, im just lookin for somethin to help me run google earth..  it's chopy on my current hardware but, if I'm in winblowz, directx handles it well
[04:02] <poison> since I installed it, the comp is very slow and I wanna remove it
[04:02] <lueho> locke yes you are correct. but what do i do after this cmd?
[04:02] <kauer> locke: X will put your icons at the left of your screen. xinerama presents the window manager with one big screen, so the icons will appear on whatever the leftmost monitor is. I'm glad it works now, but I have no idea what changed.
[04:02] <Pelo> ohad,  suspend/hibernate in linux is how wholy reliable yet,  I'd investigate suspend (hibernate) problems in the forum
[04:02] <jrib> lueho: the page ubotu linked you to has a link on how to get it from git, but you can also just grab the "linux-source" package
[04:02] <lueho> jrib k
[04:02] <roshan_s> CaBlGuY: SDL isn't what you need. Google Earth on Linux uses OpenGL, so you need update graphics drivers
[04:02] <locke> kauer: yea, i have them the wrong way :P
[04:02] <jrib> poison: sudo aptitude remove bcm43xx   should work then
[04:02] <lueho> the kernel is written in c?
[04:02] <lueho> i want to know plz
[04:03] <ohad> Pelo, i've done so. seems to still be a problem - thought i would find some answers here..
[04:03] <roshan_s> CaBlGuY: Which graphics card do you have?
[04:03] <locke> lueho: do a locate for `uname -r`-source i think
[04:03] <CaBlGuY> ohad: sounds like you may have some hardware issues...  I have that same prob and mine is a hardware issue..  nothjing major in mine but, from time to time my screen will go out..  or darken..  I have to reboot at that point.,.
[04:04] <kauer> locke: If you haven't seen it yet, this may be of interest: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/man.html
[04:04] <ohad> CalBlGuy - it happens everytime i try to suspend --
[04:04] <poison> jrib:  thanks
[04:04] <ohad> CalBlGUy - did you get wireless to work properly ?
[04:04] <poison> is there anyway to "analyze" your computer, so you can see applications taking lots of processing power?
[04:05] <rypt> top ..
[04:05] <jrib> poison: system -> administration -> system monitor  for a gui way
[04:05] <warjo> Guys, i really need some help on this, please give me a hint or something on what to look for concerning my ubuntu beeing slow (running beryl, compiz or metacity seem to be slow too, nVidia drivers installed) resize on windows or launching programs is sooo slow
[04:05] <locke> kauer: everything works fine except that they're backwards atm :P
[04:05] <blink0> Hi, I have a new asus laptop. It seems the DVD drive is not being detected. I am surprised because it was through 7.04 CD I installed ubuntu in my system. Any help ?
[04:05] <CaBlGuY> roshan_s:  I have a Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/XP
[04:06] <CaBlGuY> it's on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 laptop
[04:06] <roshan_s> CaBlGuY: Does it have 3D acceleration?
[04:06] <kauer> locke: Well this is good. Incomprehensible, but good. I do find when mucking about with X that it helps to do a full power cycle from time to time. I think the cards' firmware can get confused, sometimes.
[04:07] <CaBlGuY> roshan_s:  I don't believe so..  but not for sure..
[04:07] <moonlite_> sometimes after suspend my touchpad doesn't work like it should. Are there any way to "restart" it? Ie some kernelmodule i could reload?
[04:07] <kauer> locke: Can you drag an icon across? Just drag them all (mark and drag) and they will stay there.
[04:07] <lueho> why is it that i do not have to install drivers for linux when i need that done in windows? is drivers for hardware built into the kernel?
[04:07] <CaBlGuY> that's why I was lookin for the directx deal cause that workd fine..
[04:07] <locke> kauer: yea, im just concerned about when i unplug my monitor from my laptop
[04:08] <CaBlGuY> lueho: Linux is "intuative" in some things like that..  a lot better than winblowz..  ;)
[04:08] <roshan_s> CaBlGuY: I don't think so either. Could you see if this command says trident somewhere: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:08] <lueho> cablebuy i was wondering because i found it strange that linux knows all my hardware and stuff when i did lspci
[04:09] <kauer> locke: If you've dragged the icons over they will still be visible on your laptop. You will have to experiment to see what happens with a reboot or a suspend/restore, but i'd expect them to still be there.
[04:09] <CaBlGuY> lueho: yes, that's common..   that's Linux
[04:09] <roshan_s> lueho: lspci just shows what the hardware calls itself. Doesn't mean all those devices are recognised
[04:09] <lueho> cableguy yes i like it alot. to hell with windows
[04:09] <lueho> roshan so how do i see that?
[04:09] <locke> kauer: I need to change which side of the screen my second monitor is on, I keep moving the mouse the wrong way :P
[04:09] <lueho> i mean sound and graphics works
[04:09] <lueho> for example
[04:09] <lueho> i use xmms, skype  etc etc
[04:10] <CaBlGuY> roshan_s:  yes it says trident..
[04:10] <blink0> Thanks, loading piix module did the job
[04:10] <CaBlGuY> lueho: so, whats are ya bitchn for??
[04:10] <roshan_s> lueho: If everything works, then you don't need to worry about anything. If something doesn't work, that means the kernel doesn't have a driver for it ;)
[04:10] <CaBlGuY> exactly..
[04:10] <lueho> roshan i see. so then one need to edit the kernel ?
[04:11] <lueho> cableguy i am not bitching
[04:11] <roshan_s> CaBlGuY: So that's about as fast as it'll go. Perhaps the DirectX software renderer is faster than Mesa (an OpenGL software renderer)
[04:11] <lueho> just asking... because linux is different compared to windows
[04:11] <aneb> !language | CaBlGuY
[04:11] <ubotu> CaBlGuY: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:11] <exs> How do I install a library?.. (specifically, libglibmm) Thanks (p.s. it's for Gparted)
[04:11] <aneb> "bitch" is a bad word
[04:11] <roshan_s> lueho: No, Ubuntu includes all the kernel modules there are, so, no, you don't need to "edit" (recompile) the kernel
[04:11] <Stormx2> Not quite. Certain hardware won't have support from the kernel, some might, but not have the neccessary apps / setup for it to work immediately.
[04:11] <aneb> exs: you dont
[04:11] <locke> kauer: heh, that's weird, when I print screen it cuts off part of the second window
[04:12] <roshan_s> lueho: If all your hardware is working, then what's the problem?
[04:12] <CaBlGuY> roshan_s:  well shoot..   so, until I upgrade to a faster laptop then I'm stuck then  huh..  *sigh*
[04:12] <exs> aneb:  what do you mean "You don't"
[04:12] <lueho> roshan ok... well anyway i downloaded the kernel source... i want to look at the code
[04:12] <kauer> I wouldn't like it if people banned ********* and ********. If those words were censored i would find it impossible to talk about how to avoid ********* products, or to discuss X-*******, for example. It would not be possible to talk about ordinary household glass ******, either! Or to discuss how ********* can be defeated in the marketplace. On the whole, censorship, even of ********* or *******, is probably a bad idea.
[04:12] <aneb> exs: just install gparted and you're done
[04:12] <Stormx2> kauer: I suggest you stop now.
[04:12] <anandanbu> Problem while installing soylent in ubuntu 7.04 and it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33447/ need help
[04:12] <aneb> kauer: stop questioning the authority of the ops
[04:13] <roshan_s> CaBlGuY: I'm afraid so
[04:13] <kauer> locke: do you mean "second monitor"? That's probably due to you running the two at different resolutions, There are "dead" unreachable areas off the smaller screen.
[04:13] <exs> aneb:  I'm working on a machine with no internet access. therefore I'm getting all the files I need for gparted on a USB stick. I downloaded the library files seperatley on their website with a .deb, but it (for some reason) did not include libglibmm
[04:13] <aneb> kauer: i agree with you, but that doesnt mean i have the right to subvert the entire channel by ranting about swear words while actually beingg very hypocritical.
[04:13] <CaBlGuY> roshan_s:  so, what good is this SDL then..  if it doesn't do the same thing as Directx???
[04:14] <locke> kauer: oh, I see, one is widescreen one isn't, so having the same resolution isn't really a good option :/
[04:14] <CaBlGuY> that makes no sense to me..
[04:14] <kauer> aneb and StormX2: go out and get a sense of humour, for gosh sake :-)
[04:14] <roshan_s> lueho: That's a good idea, if you can make sense of it. If you improve something, send a patch to Linus Torvalds :)
[04:14] <elkbuntu> kauer, if you persist in being disruptive you will be removed. this your warning.
[04:15] <kauer> locke: "Widescreen"? One is 1280x1024, the other is 1024x784 (or something, I've closed your paste).
[04:15] <Stormx2> kauer: You were trying to make a point through the medium of humour, where in actual fact you should a) Take your point to
[04:15] <Stormx2> Uhg
[04:15] <locke> please leave kauer alone since he's the only one trying to help me
[04:15] <lueho> roshan you get cash for a improvment they like?
[04:15] <aneb> kauer: and?  humour does not transfer over very well on IRC. again, lets stop :-)
[04:15] <roshan_s> CaBlGuY: SDL is for programmers who want a DirectX like way of accessing input devices, etc that works on all platforms. That's why I thought you wanted to program with it. It's not for end users
[04:15] <Stormx2> #ubuntu-ops and b) Not try (and fail) to be funny.
[04:15] <locke> kauer: one is 1280x800, the other is 1024x768
[04:15] <reallyjoel> is there a driver for full NTFS support?
[04:15] <Stormx2> !ntfs-3g | reallyjoel
[04:15] <ubotu> reallyjoel: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[04:15] <roshan_s> lueho: But you get a warm feeling inside, which is worth more :) Plus you'll get respect from everyone here ;)
[04:16] <CaBlGuY> roshan_s:  well shoot..   that don't make no sense...  that's not the way it reads on the website neather..  :/
[04:16] <reallyjoel> thanks
[04:16] <Stormx2> reallyjoel: It isn't "full", things like permissions are unsupported, but everything else works.
[04:16] <lueho> roshan haha okey man
[04:16] <kauer> locke: yes, 'zackly. xinerama has no really useful way to deal with that; it has to assume a rectangular "canvas", so it compensates with "dead" areas. At least that's my theory, I can't see your printout.
[04:16] <aneb> elkbuntu: btw sorry for saying a swear word. i was just trying to point out that saying it was bad
[04:16] <locke> kauer: hm, ok, I think I may go buy a widescreen flat panel to accomodate for this. :P
[04:17] <roshan_s> lueho: Plus, if you're really good, you can get Red Hat to hire you
[04:17] <reallyjoel> Stormx2: ok, cool.. i only need basic write support
[04:17] <roshan_s> CaBlGuY: The website is mainly intended for game developers
[04:17] <Stormx2> reallyjoel: ntfs-3g is for you then. Read up on the page ubotu linked you to :)
[04:17] <locke> kauer: brb I'm going to restart and check the changes
[04:18] <zero_> # ubuntu-br
[04:18] <XiXaQ> I'm looking for an application to give me statistics and diagrams for a linux servers resource usage per process; cpu %, mem %, harddisk writes, harddisk reads, etc.. Can anyone recommend such an application?
[04:18] <XiXaQ> it would be nice if it was a webbased one.
[04:18] <Stormx2> XiXaQ: phpsysinfo is good.
[04:18] <XiXaQ> Stormx2, thanks. I'll look into that :)
[04:19] <aneb> how can i switch over to ubuntu server relatively quickly and easily?
[04:19] <Stormx2> XiXaQ: Here's an example: http://www.anet-hosting.com/phpsysinfo/
[04:19] <Stormx2> aneb: From what?
[04:19] <_Lucretia_> has anyone managed to get scanning to work on feisty? I just installed the scanbuttond and still get the same error
[04:19] <aneb> Stormx2: ubuntu 7.04 to ubuntu server 7.04
[04:19] <shearn89> aneb: ubuntu server is really stripped down, so not sure it would work so well.
[04:19] <kauer> aneb: Do you mean change a PC from having the dsktop distro to having the server distro?
[04:19] <Stormx2> aneb: How long have you been running the desktop version?
[04:19] <shearn89> aneb: perhaps a reinstall? anyone?
[04:20] <aneb> kauer: not really
[04:20] <kauer> aneb: Then explainmore clearly what you do mean.
[04:20] <aneb> Stormx2: well, i'm talking about doing this from a server
[04:20] <Stormx2> aneb: Uhg, what?
[04:20] <Stormx2> aneb: Like kauer said, explain more clearly.
[04:20] <aneb> Stormx2: i installed ubuntu 7.04 on this server, and removed X11
[04:21] <shearn89> aneb: doesn't that leave you with a whole load of random progams you don't need?
[04:21] <Stormx2> if you're looking to switch from desktop to server, you'd be best off backing up /home and doing a reinstall.
[04:21] <aneb> Stormx2: but it still has ubuntu elements in it, and i would like to clean things up.
[04:21] <aneb> Stormx2: i can't do a reinstall :-)
[04:22] <shearn89> aneb: how come?
[04:22] <Happu> aneb: just install the server kernel?
[04:22] <Stormx2> aneb: Uhg. Well I guess it would be possible to install ubuntu-server, and then remove all packages that ubuntu-server doesn't depend on...
[04:22] <Stormx2> Happu: Far from ideal.
[04:22] <aneb> i want the server to be as up as possible, reboots shuld only be last resort
[04:22] <kauer> aneb:  Basically the server has way fewer desktoppy things. There is no *fundamental* difference, just a different set of packages. Install what you need on your "server" and delete whatever you don't need. Just a fiddly bisiness, that's all.
[04:23] <Stormx2> Yeah, what kauer and I said.
[04:23] <CaBlGuY> ok, well thanks,..,
[04:23] <boris_> is this appropriate channel for enemy territory support ?
[04:23] <boris_> i got ubuntu feisty
[04:23] <XiXaQ> aneb, what kind of server? Is it important to change the kernel? If not, then you could use tasksel and install LAMP server for instance.
[04:23] <Stormx2> aneb: You'd need to reboot anyway, as the server runs a different kernel.
[04:24] <shearn89> boris_: unless there's a gaming channel, i guess so...
[04:24] <hackerboy> hey does someone know how to add widows xp to ubuntu. because that was my original version (windows xp) now its gone after installing ubuntu
[04:24] <Stormx2> aneb: There's no way you can run an ubuntu-server install without at least rebooting once.
[04:24] <shearn89> hackerboy: is it completely gone, or can you just not boot to it?
[04:24] <Stormx2> hackerboy: uhg, did you overwrite it?
[04:24] <aneb> Stormx2: there is no ubuntu-server package
[04:24] <XiXaQ> hackerboy, what do you mean "add windows xp to ubuntu"?
[04:24] <Stormx2> aneb: Ah, hold on
[04:25] <boris_> where is root terminal ?
[04:25] <Stormx2> !root | boris
[04:25] <ubotu> boris: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[04:25] <theo_> hello

[04:28] <boris_> sorry aneb

[04:29] <shearn89> siph0n: you have to start with XP.
[04:29] <boris_> i get

[04:30] <Stormx2> boris_: Please read what ubotu said to you.
[04:30] <boris_> i did
[04:30] <Stormx2> boris_: And perhaps you should do as ubotu said?
[04:30] <shearn89> hackerboy: not sure about beryl, as it won't run on my laptop. Check the #ubuntu-effects channel, or the forums?
[04:30] <lueho> hackerboy you need to change some settings in order for it to become a 3d box
[04:30] <Eclipsor> I've been having some problems with ubuntu lately, when I go to sleep I lock the screen, but in the morning I move the mouse and only a cursor pops up on a black screen, no password prompt... I restart X and my background pops up and nothing will work seemingly
[04:31] <theo_> when a new window opens it starts minimized. How do i make it start maximized?
[04:31] <XiXaQ> boris_, we're over a thousand people in here. It's very important that we keep messages on as few lines as possible.
[04:31] <six_> Hi, if i start ubuntu 7.04 normal all is just black i never see anything else, but if i start the recovery mode all is fine
[04:31] <boris_> i told you english is not my main language i do not understand what it said
[04:31] <lueho> hackerboy i dont have it installed myself but i managed to fix it at my friends house...
[04:31] <Stormx2> boris_: Don't use enter instead of commas and full stops.
[04:31] <six_> how can i check whats wrong?
[04:32] <XiXaQ> six_, it may be a problem with your display. Have you ever been able to run ubuntu normally? Does it run well from the live cd?
[04:32] <boris_> oh stormx2 i understand now
[04:32] <boris_> ok
[04:32] <boris_> i wrote "bash: /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss: Permission denied" in terminal
[04:32] <six_> yes, but i have to say which resolution
[04:32] <theo_> QUESTION: when a new window opens it starts minimized. How do i make it start maximized?
[04:32] <boris_> ups
[04:32] <boris_> mistake
[04:32] <Stormx2> theo_: Does this affect all windows?
[04:32] <six_> in recovery mode i installed the driver correct i think
[04:33] <xflatlinex> Wow fellas, I just made the move.  Ridded windows and am now full ubuntu.  have nicely found a replacement for all my programs
[04:33] <theo_> yes it does

[04:34] <vertex004> hi guys i have a problem with shared folders can you help please?
[04:34] <roshan_s> boris_: alienbrain_: No, sudo echo won't work. You need to run "sudo -i" before running that command
[04:34] <XiXaQ> six_, you can try this: when the system boots normally, press ctrl+alt+f2 to get another console. Then, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. You will be presented with a wizard for configuring X window system, with keyboard, mouse, graphics adapter and monitor. Afterwards, run startx.
[04:34] <lueho> how do i change EVERYTHING in my ubuntu system so no 'group' or 'others' can rwx ?
[04:34] <Stormx2> vertex004: State your problem.
[04:34] <alienbrain_> roshan_s, oh right
[04:34] <hackerboy> lueha: okay wat setting do i have to change. please help me this is the only problem i have with my linux
[04:34] <kauer> boris_: Put "sudo " in front of any command you want to run as root. When asked for a password, give YOUR password (not root's),and the command will be executed as root.
[04:35] <xflatlinex> is you havent created a password for sudo yet do a "sudo passwd"
[04:35] <boris_> kauer : im still getting "bash: /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss: Permission denied"
[04:35] <xflatlinex> from the ehll
[04:35] <xflatlinex> shell
[04:35] <hackerboy> lueho: okay wat setting do i have to change. please help me this is the only problem i have with my linux
[04:35] <theo_> Stormx2: why do my latest windows not start in front maximized?
[04:35] <lueho> hackerboy i do not have beryl installed so its kinda hard for me to tell you exactly what to do. but i just marked a window box in settings and voila it was ready to go
[04:35] <boris_> kauer : it didnt ask me for password
[04:35] <faileas> xflatlinex: cool. i'll probably send in for those when i'm back in UK ;)
[04:35] <Stormx2> kauer: Won't work. The redirection uses subshells, which don't get the root access that sudo initially provides, I think.
[04:35] <astro76> kauer, won't work for pipes, you can do sudo bash -c "some command > file"
[04:36] <six_> thanks for help XiXaQ i try it out now
[04:36] <astro76> kauer, err, redirects not pipes
[04:36] <lueho> hackerboy look at settings... its there...

[04:38] <Stormx2> What on earth?
[04:38] <faileas> eh
[04:38] <exs> can someone please help me build gparted with all the required libraries, so I can install them on another ubuntu machine that has no internet access. I've been trying to use apt-zip but no help - as the tutorial is god-awful and it doesn't even work. I've tried using a .deb package from gnome partition site, but even that doesn't work. I need lots of libraries and the other machine doesn't have them. if you can help at all, that would be very,
[04:38] <exs> very good. Thanks.
[04:38] <howlingmadhowie> was that a bug in gaim?
[04:38] <faileas> people with too much free time ;)
[04:39] <Stormx2> faileas: Looks more like a botnet to me :(
[04:39] <kauer> boris: To execute this command, you may need to drop into a root shell. This can be done WITHOUT the root password. Type "sudo bash", press enter, give YOUR passwordif prompted, then type the command you want and press enter. When the command is finished, type "exit" and press enter.
[04:39] <faileas> Stormx2: still holds. people with too much free time
[04:39] <howlingmadhowie> exs: can't you just download the debs for gparted and its dependencies?
[04:39] <lueho> how do i change EVERYTHING (files/folders) in my ubuntu system so no 'group' or 'others' can rwx ? is there like some kind of magical cmd to do this?
[04:39] <XiXaQ> exs, isn't gparted available on the desktop cd?
[04:39] <hackerboy> lueha: look at settings where. wait you lost me..... im very sorry what am i suppose to be clicking
[04:39] <faileas> *chuckles* apparently with my ubuntu install, and a paperclip, i fixed a bricked 50 dollar router ;p
[04:39] <exs> XiXaQ:  the other computer doesn't have a cd drive.
[04:40] <kauer> boris: Don't stay in the root shell; exit straight out of it when you have done what you need to do. It is very easy to make very bad mistakes as root :-)
[04:40] <howlingmadhowie> lueho: you can chmod -R
[04:40] <Stormx2> exs: Why are you building gparted? it's already installed.
[04:40] <boris_> kauer : thank you very much it worked
[04:40] <exs> howlingmadhowie:  I don't know where i place the downloaded library files
[04:40] <hackerboy> lueho: look at settings where. wait you lost me..... im very sorry what am i suppose to be clicking
[04:40] <tonyyarusso> faileas: how?
[04:40] <forger`> my sound while I play mp3s is "scratchy" and of poor quality using rhythmbox, whereas using totem-xine is a bit better. using windows xp the sound is great. I have AC'97 sound card
[04:40] <roshan_s> lueho: That could seriously wreck your system. Lots of system daemons depend on group writability
[04:40] <lueho> hackerboy program -> beryl settings -> apply 3d settings
[04:40] <howlingmadhowie> exs: if you download debs you can just double click them and they'll be installed
[04:40] <exs> Stormx2:  It's a standard ubuntu instillation and it does *not* inclue gparted
[04:40] <XiXaQ> lueho, what exactly do you mean by that? You can use chmod and chown with -R switch, but please know what you're doing before you using it.
[04:40] <faileas> tonyyarusso: ping+TFTP. i tried it in windows but it didn't work ;p
[04:40] <lueho> roshan ok i can compromise... so that no 'others' can rwx?
[04:40] <exs> howlingmadhowie:  That's what I did, I even downloaded the library files (as a .deb) on gparted site, and it instlaled them but *still* didn't work
[04:40] <tonyyarusso> faileas: ah, nice
[04:41] <XiXaQ> exs, the live-cd does, however.
[04:41] <six_> Hi again
[04:41] <howlingmadhowie> exs: you could get the debs for the right ubuntu distribution using apt-get, i'd have thought
[04:41] <roshan_s> lueho: That won't work either. Look at /tmp for example. Needs to be writable by everybody
[04:41] <XiXaQ> hey six_. I take it you didn't have much luck?
[04:41] <hackerboy> lueho: okay i clicked apply 3d SETTINGS now what?
[04:41] <six_> no :(
[04:41] <grumbel> I am searching for beta-testers for Pingus (lemmings-like game), anybody interested?
[04:41] <faileas> tonyyarusso: i got it free from my ISP, but its a WRT54GL, and thus worth its weight in ... erm, something ;p
[04:41] <XiXaQ> six_, did you try different options?
[04:41] <xflatlinex> I am
[04:41] <Stormx2> grumbel: Sure.

[04:41] <boris_> "sudo chown -R user:group ~/.etwolf/" what should i write instead of "group" ?
[04:42] <lueho> hackerboy it should be started after that so you can flip your 3d box screen etc
[04:42] <XiXaQ> !ot | grumbel
[04:42] <ubotu> grumbel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:42] <roshan_s> lueho: All the permissions on a Debian system are usually as tight as possible, so there's no benefit taking a sledgehammer to them
[04:42] <six_> i tried to press strg+alt+F2 or F3 or F4 ... nothing helps
[04:42] <tonyyarusso> faileas: I have the same model - running DD-WRT.  What super-cool ISP is providing those stock?
[04:42] <exs> howlingmadhowie:  where do i do this?
[04:42] <lueho> hackerboy i think you need to asign a letter on your keyboard to do that though... do it in your settings again
[04:42] <faileas> tonyyarusso: starhub in singapore ;)
[04:42] <theverant> I tried right clicking and adding a SMB share that way - but I can't even see this system on the network, it's not showing up in the workgroup to which I assigned it
[04:42] <hackerboy> lueha: okay do u know which buttons im suppose press to move the screen
[04:42] <tonyyarusso> aaah, singapore
[04:42] <aaron> I am trying to run this command "ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub username@host" to my router... however, it doesn't run ssh on port 22... how do i specify an alternate port?
[04:43] <astro76> lueho, you might consider doing chmod -R o-rwx ~/, so others can't read stuff in your home, but there's really no point in doing to the rest of the system
[04:43] <lueho> hackerboy yeah  now i remember... you need to asign a letter on your keyboard ....
[04:43] <faileas> i had to sign up another year with them, but i've been with them a VERY long time so its no big deal
[04:43] <howlingmadhowie> exs: have a look at apt-cache show gparted
[04:43] <XiXaQ> six_, oh.. Really? Then you can login with the recovery option and run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from there.
[04:43] <grumbel> XiXaQ: I know, but Pingus is in ubuntu and I am sure the package maintainer will be very happy about a SDL based Pingus version instead of the old Clanlib one
[04:43] <six_> XiXaQ, ok
[04:43] <howlingmadhowie> howlingmadhowie: but be warned, there are lots of dependencies
[04:43] <boris_> "sudo chown -R user:group ~/.etwolf/" : what should i write instead of group ?
[04:43] <lueho> hackerboy choose any letter on your keyboard in your settings...
[04:43] <Stormx2> howlingmadhowie: Talking to yourself again?
[04:44] <howlingmadhowie> Stormx2: you know what? i am :)
[04:44] <XiXaQ> boris_, that depends on the user and group you want the directory to belong to.
[04:44] <howlingmadhowie> exs: but be warned, there are lots of dependencies :)
[04:44] <howlingmadhowie> Stormx2: better? :)
[04:44] <Stormx2> howlingmadhowie: hehe.
[04:44] <boris_> XiXaQ my username is boris but what do i write instead of group ?
[04:45] <roshan_s> aaron: Add something like this to .ssh/config "Host <your router><next line>Port <whatever>" You can also add Username, etc. You can just ssh hostname in the future
[04:45] <boris_> oh
[04:45] <lueho> is there a need for anti virus software for linux?
[04:45] <kauer> boris_: Are you sure you want to change the ownership on everything in that directory and the directory itself? This is not generally advisable unless you know what you are doing. There is no answer to your question - if you don't know what group to use, we can't really guess it for you. However, you could try leaving the group out altogether - then only the ownership will change, not the group ownership.
[04:45] <howlingmadhowie> lueho: only if you're using it as a file server for windows computers
[04:45] <hackerboy> lueha: okay thanx
[04:45] <boris_> kauer : this is file where wolfenstein downloads maps
[04:45] <XiXaQ> boris_, you don't have to enter a group at all, or you can use your own group, which is your username. Or you can use another group. For instance, if all sudoers should be able to use it, then you'd add admin as group.
[04:45] <aaron> roshan_s, do that on my client machine?
[04:45] <hackerboy> lueho: okay thankx
[04:45] <roshan_s> lueho: Yes, if you're dealing with Windows files, and passing them on to other Windows users, for their protection
[04:46] <lueho> hackerboy does it work now?
[04:46] <lueho> nice ! :)
[04:46] <boris_> kauer : wolfenstein should be allowed to write in this file
[04:46] <roshan_s> aaron: Yes. That's .ssh/config in your home directory
[04:46] <kauer> boris_: Why do you want to change the ownerships? What is wrong with the ownerships the contents of the directory have now?
[04:46] <hackerboy> yeah
[04:46] <hackerboy> lueho: yes
[04:46] <alberto> n
[04:46] <XiXaQ> lueho, there is anti virus software for linux, but you don't need it. There hasn't been any wild viruses for linux in ... a long time. http://www.wildlist.org
[04:46] <aaron> roshan_s, I do not have that file now.. is that normal?
[04:46] <lueho> roshan xixaq ok this is good news
[04:47] <alberto> asfffdd
[04:47] <boris_> kauer : well, file is owned by root so wolfenstein can't download maps and crashes instead
[04:47] <alberto> sd
[04:47] <roshan_s> aaron: As a bonus, you'll be able to tab-complete that hostname. And yes, the file isn't there by default
[04:47] <lueho> god damn windows... always problem
[04:47] <kauer> boris_: What are the current group ownerships?
[04:47] <boris_> kauer : wait a sec, ill check
[04:47] <aaron> roshan_s, that's sweet. let me try it out real quick
[04:47] <aaron> awesome.
[04:48] <aaron> roshan_s, you're the man (or woman)
[04:48] <XiXaQ> hehe
[04:48] <lueho> hackerboy check out youtube... there are beryl groups there... some have done some cool changes to it
[04:48] <roshan_s> aaron: Person, will do, though the former option is correct ;)
[04:48] <six_> XiXaQ, shall i use Kernel-Framebuffer-Interface?
[04:49] <aaron> can i add mulitple hosts to that?
[04:49] <six_> XiXaQ, i don't know what it is
[04:49] <howlingmadhowie> roshan_s: come on, roshan_s, this is the internet! you can live out your wildest fantasies! ;)
[04:49] <XiXaQ> six_, accept the default.
[04:49] <hackerboy> lueho: i know ive been looking at them for the longest on my laptop. thats what inspired me to get it on mines.
[04:49] <six_> XiXaQ, ok

[04:49] <roshan_s> howlingmadhowie: My fantasies aren't quite that wild, thank you :)
[04:50] <lueho> hackerboy nice :)
[04:50] <hackerboy> lueho: lastely what im trying to do is setup a wireless network because im using DSL. you know any good ones or where to obtain any
[04:50] <boris_> kauer : folder is ownt by root
[04:50] <lueho> hackerboy also check out the black hat movies on youtube. you can learn to sniff voip and encryptation etc
[04:51] <kauer> boris_: What are the *group* ownerships?
[04:51] <lueho> hackerboy sorry mate.... i only haxxs them i use a regular router in my house
[04:51] <lueho> :P
[04:51] <boris_> kauer root owns folder
[04:51] <boris_> sorry im quite new to linux
[04:52] <lueho> hackerboy a friend of mine got up the screens of what my neighbour was doing on his computer... that was freaky
[04:52] <lueho> this was a wireless network
[04:52] <hackerboy> lueho: regular router isnt that your phone modem
[04:52] <lueho> hackerboy i know.. i mean it is not wireless... got the cables all over my house
[04:52] <six_> i am back soon, bye
[04:52] <boris_> kauer : u mean what my username is ?
[04:52] <hackerboy> lueho: how he do that. so does he have a router to
[04:52] <lueho> hackerboy you atend black hat or what?
[04:53] <lueho> nha man.. he attacks wireless networks
[04:53] <lueho> and does his magic
[04:53] <boris_> kauer folder is ownt by "boris" or by "root"
[04:53] <lueho> he also was able to look at the memory in the coputer and extract some freaky info
[04:53] <lueho> computer
[04:53] <kauer> boris_: I think we are having a slight failure to communicate :-) All files in Unix have an owner and a group owner. Please cut and paste one line (ONE LINE ONLY) out of a directory listing of that directory. Do the listing with "ls -la".
[04:53] <lueho> hackerboy check out youtube on sniffing voip...
[04:54] <warjo> Anyone can help my by giving me a hint on what to look for, for my ubuntu running so slow?
[04:54] <hackerboy> lueho: okay give me min im just started up my other computer to watch it on cuz on this one im trying to fix my linux, on the laptop im trying to change my ipaddress lol, so give me min
[04:54] <lueho> hackerboy rite rite... you gotz skype installed? give me your skype name... we can talk more there
[04:54] <boris_> kauer : pardon ?
[04:54] <lueho> go to their webpage and download their deb package and install
[04:55] <warjo> anyone?
[04:55] <boris_> when i click properties
[04:55] <bulmer> warjo what do you mean slow?..can you elaborate?
[04:55] <boris_> i see
[04:56] <boris_> "Owner:root" and "Group:root"
[04:56] <hackerboy> lueho: no i just installed linux this mornig and been on it all day finding everything. how do i get that on here. can i just go to add/remove programs and type it in that to install.
[04:57] <lueho> hackerboy go to skype url and download skype for linux... take the debian package and just download it... then you can use synaptic or just right click it and install it
[04:57] <lueho> wait i find url for you
[04:57] <lueho> hackerboy what programming language you know btw?
[04:57] <xflatlinex> hakerboy, or you can just use automatix
[04:57] <lueho> http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/
[04:57] <elkbuntu> xflatlinex, please do not recommend automatix
[04:57] <IceLink> automatix - i wouldn't recommend it for anything
[04:57] <elkbuntu> !auto
[04:57] <kauer> boris_: OK! In that case, it is probably simplest to change the ownership of all those files to "boris:boris" - assuming your username is boris. Why are these files owned by root anyway?
[04:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about auto - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:57] <xflatlinex> lol
[04:57] <elkbuntu> !automatix
[04:57] <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)
[04:57] <xflatlinex> i use it, it works just fine
[04:58] <six_> Hi again
[04:58] <lueho> omg a new skype came out like today
[04:58] <boris_> kauer : well, i dont know, probably installer installed them that way
[04:58] <six_> it doesnt work
[04:58] <boris_> kauer : im reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory
[04:58] <elkbuntu> !worksforme | xflatlinex
[04:58] <ubotu> xflatlinex: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[04:58] <kauer> xflatlinux: I drive on the highway at 160kph. I'm not dead, so it's obviously completely safe to do that. Hmmm....
[04:59] <boris_> kauer : Downloading Maps section
[04:59] <boris_> ok thank you
[04:59] <Symmetria> errrr 160kph isnt fast ;p but anyway
[04:59] <boris_> im off for wolfenstein
[04:59] <kauer> boris: Have fun :-)
[04:59] <warjo> blumer, well it slows on starting applications, resize is slow also
[04:59] <hackerboy> lueho: english for now i found this sit to where it teaches me how to read other languages find the site by youtube :) im getting skype now. when i do ill tell u what i mainly do since i dont have a router connection which i need cuz DSL aint letting me do nothing.
[05:00] <kauer> Symmetria: Remind me not to depend on your continued survival for anything :-)
[05:00] <Floker> how do i update the firmware of my ipod w/ ubuntu? i got a script from a german wiki but it doesnt work, please help
[05:00] <lueho> hackerboy use gdebi to install skype when you download it... just right click and choose 'gdebi'
[05:00] <Symmetria> kauer errr you obviously have never driven on a south african highway
[05:00] <Symmetria> or a german one for that matter
[05:00] <AlabamaSlamma> I am having compile problems with camserv on my ubuntu box
[05:00] <warjo> blumer, i am using beryl with nvidia drivers 1.8ghz cpu 1.512DDR ram (isnt that enough? :S )
[05:00] <AlabamaSlamma> I keep getting an error mentioning mmap
[05:01] <AlabamaSlamma> anyone seen that error before when compiling stuff?
[05:01] <hackerboy> lueho: i just did its downloading now at 77% and increasing
[05:01] <six_> my tft is just black if i start ubuntu...
[05:01] <six_> i can just start in recovery mode
[05:01] <IceLink> six_: maybe you should reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[05:02] <warjo> bulmer***
[05:02] <six_> with dpkg-recofigure?
[05:02] <IceLink> yeah
[05:02] <hackerboy> lueho: okay its done downloading now im installing the package. hold on
[05:02] <lueho> hackberboy rite
[05:02] <six_> i tried 5 min ago
[05:02] <bulmer> yes?
[05:02] <warjo> added some info above :( want me to repeat again?
[05:03] <bulmer> yes
[05:03] <six_> IceLink: if i press strg+alt+F1 or (F2,F3,F4...) nothing happens
[05:03] <warjo> ok so it slows on starting apps, also have some slow on some effects such as resize. I am using beryl + nvidia drivers (CPU: 2.4ghz RAM: 1.512DDR RAM)
[05:03] <hackerboy> lueho: its reading the data base.
[05:03] <TooR4u> when we install any file through "apt-get install" .. where will the downloaded file (or) software will be stored...?
[05:04] <lueho> hackboy you can use something called 'skypecasts' to find people on skype... its fun to later on sniff their voip ;)
[05:04] <IceLink> six_: i had the case that my monitor displayed "mode not supported, dunno, i've read that vga=normal at boot might  help
[05:04] <bulmer> warjo i dont know much about beryl..it does needs lots of memory
[05:04] <IceLink> (or so)
[05:04] <six_> thx i try it out now
[05:04] <lueho> hackberboy you script or programm?
[05:04] <warjo> well thing is, it also does that on compiz and metacity as well
[05:04] <Jack_Sparrow> six_: What options did you choose when you reconfigured.
[05:04] <warjo> no matter what desktop i choose slow is there
[05:04] <roshan_s> TooR4u: The package file is stored in /var/cache/apt/archives. The contents are extracted into different directories depending on their purpose
[05:05] <hackerboy> lueho: okay installing package file as we speck
[05:05] <theo_> Is it posible to do dual-display with ubuntu? if so how?
[05:05] <hackerboy> lueho: its finished now what
[05:05] <TooR4u> roshan_s, thank u ... :)
[05:05] <lueho> hackerboy in your consol you just type in 'skype' and it will execute it
[05:05] <lueho> then go to youtube and learn how to sniff voip
[05:05] <lueho> ;P
[05:05] <six_> IceLink: X-Server-Driver: nvidia
[05:05] <theo_> is this for skype installation?
[05:06] <IceLink> six_: sorry?
[05:06] <lueho> theo what?
[05:06] <kauer> is there any way in this forum to see what topics are available with "!topic"?
[05:06] <naksha> hi folks, i need to share folders between ubuntu computers on a home network,, how can I do it without samba?
[05:06] <theo_> Is it posible to do dual-display with ubuntu? if so ho
[05:06] <hackerboy> lueho: mine say konsol
[05:06] <lueho> skype
[05:06] <lueho> cmd -> skype
[05:06] <lueho> to start it
[05:06] <theo_> Is it posible to do dual-display with ubuntu? if so. how?
[05:06] <kauer> naksha: NFS, sshfs, ftp, scp...
[05:06] <Kasle> how do i uinstall ATI video driver and install Nvidia?
[05:07] <roshan_s> naksha: You can use SSH, but that's easiest if all computers are running Linux
[05:07] <twosouls82> !patience | theo_

[05:07] <IceLink> theo_: if you're using ati, there's a control panel for that
[05:07] <hackerboy> lueo: okay i did now im accepting the agreement so i can install it hold on
[05:07] <IceLink> i guess nvidia has one, too
[05:07] <[meme] > I am the administrator of an Ubuntu Server running Apache, how can I let other people access to the htdocs so he can administer web documents, with out giving him root access?
[05:07] <six_> IceLink: i choose for my grafikcard nvidia, and i choose no for the question kernel frame buffer interface
[05:07] <theo_> sry
[05:07] <naksha> kauer: thanks i'll read up on that.. TC :-)
[05:07] <IceLink> six_: i'd choose the default for kernel frame buffer
[05:07] <lueho> hackerboy nice.. then give me your skypename and i add you so we can speak :P
[05:08] <TooR4u> roshan_s, But .. what will happen after instaling those files ...?(How can i backup those softwares ...?)
[05:08] <six_> IceLink: no is the default on my system
[05:08] <lueho> hackerboy you are in luck because skype 1.4 just came out today i think :P
[05:08] <IceLink> six_: so take it then
[05:08] <hackerboy> lueho: okay give me a moment im creating a user acct now what take me but 3 min
[05:08] <lueho> k
[05:08] <bulmer> [meme]  there is #apache channel..but i believe via ".htaccess" file
[05:08] <TooR4u> roshan_s, i think they are removed .. how can i backup those files after installation?
[05:09] <kauer> [meme] : the general way to do this is to put the file into a group, then put the users that are to be given access into that group too. Or do you mean access *via the web*?
[05:09] <[meme] > bulmer: thanks!
[05:09] <[meme] > kauer: no via console
[05:09] <roshan_s> TooR4u: You can backup the archives. I believe there's a program call aptoncd which takes the downloaded packages from the APT cache and burns them on CD. And the downloaded files aren't removed unless you do an apt-get clean
[05:10] <kauer> naksha: be more specific about what you mean by "share" then we can be more specific about solutions.
[05:10] <hackerboy> lueho: my skype name is > hackerboy65
[05:10] <six_> i have to restart now
[05:10] <lueho> okey dogg let me add you
[05:10] <shane_> I'm looking for a decent mud client.  Something with the capabilities of Zmud but linux based.
[05:10] <kauer> [meme] : then the group method would be typical. Users can be in many groups, files in only one; this can be a problem if you have overlapping needs.
[05:10] <naksha> kauer: share files like samba..
[05:11] <lueho> hackerboy done n done :)
[05:11] <roshan_s> naksha: Then why not just use Samba?
[05:11] <lueho> hackerboy you have a headset?
[05:11] <axel> anyone know how to get virtual box to see my hard disks?
[05:11] <bobbydick> hi. i killed my ircd-hybrid and now i cant restart it. when i try with sudo ircd-hybrid it says don't run as root
[05:11] <kauer> naksha: Well, NFS and samba are the big two. You can geta  "lite" version for personal use with sshfs.
[05:11] <aleix> hi all, does anyone knoew where to find a detailed explanation on how Ubuntu Feisty boots?
[05:11] <hackerboy> lueho: no im going computer shopping 2 morro tho so i should have one by then.
[05:12] <lueho> hackerboy ok cool
[05:12] <PriitM> Hi, I opened keylogged file through Wine and now  I'm not quite sure if my ubuntu 7.04 system is clean. Will ardamax keylogger monitor keystrokes even under linux?
[05:12] <lueho> hackerboy holar back at me when you got em and i can teach you some really nice black hat things
[05:13] <roshan_s> aleix: Try /usr/share/doc/upstart/README.Debian.gz for the new upstart system
[05:13] <hackerboy> lueho: o right i will any specific type i should get
[05:13] <ferronica> hi all :)
[05:13] <aleix> thanks roshan_s... what about before getting to upstart?
[05:13] <lueho> hackerboy just get a headset regular... pick up one cheap on on walmart. does not matter. just as long as it got a mic on it
[05:13] <lueho> i got mine from walmart
[05:13] <BrianB04> Ugh, so I got rid of the failure to load the kernel, now I'm getting init errors...not my day.
[05:13] <theverant> I'm trying to share a folder through SMB, but my system isn't even showing up on the network - Samba daemon is running.  I can't see other systems on the network, either.  Any ideas?  I don't think there is a firewall running...
[05:14] <hackerboy> lueho: okay a mic attached to it o right at wal-mart okay i will go their then
[05:14] <bernardo_> hi
[05:14] <roshan_s> aleix: Well the upstart is the first thing that runs after the initramfs (/sbin/init is the first process)
[05:14] <BrianB04> So it still kernel panics...
[05:14] <bulmer> PriitM: scares you huh? do unto others as you would not do to yourself :)
[05:15] <aleix> thanks again... reading it now!!

[05:19] <Kasle> my computer use an nvidia graphic card. but with a mistake i installed an ATI driver.. now my computer won't boot into ubuntu. it says that it can't start x server.. can anyone help please?
[05:19] <cyberjames> hi, anybody have tried this kind of strange issue on VLC that before the output of the movies will show in VLC, you should first play open it on MPlayer..?
[05:19] <IceLink> Kasle: you ought to reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:19] <IceLink> and choose the right driver
[05:19] <hackerboy> lueho: haha. yeah i can get one today then if it cost the same as yours.
[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Kasle:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:19] <cyberjames> anyone what's the problem on this?
[05:19] <Kasle> Jack_Sparrow: thx
[05:19] <lueho> hackerboy walmart
[05:19] <shearn89> kasle: in terminal (get to it by going ctrl-alt-f1)
[05:20] <hackerboy> lueho: hey wat is your skype name cuz i have 2 people as a friend and dont know which one is u
[05:20] <shearn89> kasle: then do Jack_Sparrow's command.
[05:20] <packman86> hey. I have an internel SD card reader on my laptop, but i cant get it to work. can anyone help me?
[05:20] <hackerboy> lueho: i remeber wal-mart
[05:20] <lueho> hackerboy ill msg you over it.... dont want everyone on here to get it
[05:20] <lueho> hackerboy you good at encryption?
[05:21] <hackerboy> lueho: yeah i know someone got mine lol
[05:21] <lueho> :P
[05:21] <roshan_s> Kasle: Jack_Sparrow: shearn89: Installing the ATI driver uninstalls the Nvidia driver, so you'll need to reinstall that first
[05:21] <aaron> say i wanted to talk about philosophy.  is there a channel for this?
[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> packman86: Spend $10 and get a usb one.. very few of those internals have given out info to be able to write or setup drivers
[05:22] <Jack_Sparrow> roshan_s: He could just pick vesa to get back a working although low res setup
[05:22] <packman86> bummer..
[05:22] <roshan_s> aaron: Probably not on freenode, which is an open-source related network
[05:22] <American_Idiot> aaron, the people on #ubuntu-offtopic won't mind
[05:22] <aaron> goto #xubuntu
[05:23] <roshan_s> Jack_Sparrow: That's right, sorry. It's probably more complicated to install nvidia-glx on the command line
[05:23] <kauer> naksha: "sudo apt-get install sshfs". To allow me to mount stuff without sudo, I had to put myself in the group "fuse" and change the group ownership of /dev/fuse to "fuse".
[05:23] <aaron> how do i switch channels i forgot
[05:23] <twosouls82> "Could not connect to host packages.ubuntu.com." some whole day long |(
[05:23] <American_Idiot> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx is all it is, right?
[05:24] <American_Idiot> how can that be harder?
[05:24] <twosouls82> who shot packages.ubuntu.com?
[05:24] <aaron> send me #ubuntu-off topic
[05:24] <shearn89> aaron: "/join #channel" to join a new one, the "/leave" to leave the one your in.
[05:25] <shearn89> twosouls82: don''t know, its been down for a while.
[05:25] <ryanakca> What's the prefered CLI or web interface (well, manager) for a firewall? shorewall?
[05:25] <roshan_s> American_Idiot: Well it's not really, since xorg.conf is already configured for it. Jack_Sparrow, what about that? Just an "apt-get install nvidia-glx"?
[05:25] <xflatlinex> has anyone had any success in sharing files from an ubuntu machine over a network to a windows xp machine
[05:25] <xflatlinex> ?
[05:25] <twosouls82> shearn89: good to know we share this =)
[05:25] <xflatlinex> my windows box is just not seeing my linux share
[05:26] <kauer> xflatlinex: Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, have enjoyed success in that regard, yes.
[05:26] <xflatlinex> hrmmmm
[05:26] <unimatrix9> could be caused by network device ( router )
[05:27] <roshan_s> Kasle: You just need to boot into recovery mode and type sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[05:27] <shearn89> twosouls82: its not just us either! there were loads of people asking about it earlier. (well, about 4)
[05:27] <shearn89> twosouls82: not sure when it will be up either...
[05:27] <kauer> xflatlinex: does "not see" mean "cannot browse to"? Have you tried manually mounting it (i.e., "Tools->Map network drive" in Explorer)?
[05:27] <unimatrix9> is it an samba share?
[05:27] <xflatlinex> i have a router but tht isnt the problem because I can see my windows box from my linux just not the other way around
[05:27] <xflatlinex> yes
[05:27] <twosouls82> shearn89: I assumed it wouldn't be 'just us', that would have been odd, now wouldn't it?
[05:27] <xflatlinex> it ask for a username and password but my ubuntu login will not work
[05:27] <theverant> why would I not be able to see other machines on the network?
[05:27] <mariocesar_bo> hi all, I install OpenLDev and crashes - core dumped - anyone has install it?
[05:28] <kevinh90> everyone needs to keep their routers up to date, or some bugs might cause them to disconnect: DCC SEND 0123456789012345
[05:28] <theverant> they can see each other, but they can't see this system
[05:28] <theverant> and this system can't see them
[05:28] <shearn89> twosouls82: well, it could happen... maybe.... :-)
[05:28] <kauer> xflatlinex: So it CAN see it, you jast can't access it.
[05:28] <xflatlinex> yes
[05:28] <xflatlinex> corect kauer
[05:28] <unimatrix9> xflatlinux ( did you use uppercase accedently?
[05:28] <bicbozi> exit
[05:28] <xflatlinex> nope
[05:28] <xflatlinex> i checked that
[05:29] <kauer> xflatlinex: have you done "smbpasswd -a user" on the linux side? Where "user" is your username, obviously.
[05:29] <sp1nter> theverant: you have to configure it... i dont know how though
[05:29] <xflatlinex> let me try
[05:29] <Rock7> Good morning -- does anyone know if there is a package that can create images of 3.5" floppies (i.e. I want to make a backup of old Dos install discs)
[05:29] <theverant> sp1nter: configure what, exactly?
[05:29] <xflatlinex> kauer that just gives me some flags to turn on and off
[05:30] <theverant> I gave this system a SMB name and workgroup
[05:30] <unimatrix9> Rock7 cat /dev/fd0 /your/dir/fd0.img

[05:38] <e-Hernick> ubuntu ultimate?
[05:38] <e-Hernick> why not just use the real ubuntu
[05:38] <MaGo> ahh
[05:38] <shearn89> e-Hernick: Ultimate comes with a whole load of stuff (basically) preinstalled.
[05:39] <user01> shearn89: sounds bloated
[05:39] <unimatrix9> never heard of ultimate edition
[05:39] <MaGo> shearn89 how install a software of dvd ubuntu ultimate
[05:39] <shearn89> e-Hernick: it is. I think it saves people downloading all the stuff.
[05:39] <e-Hernick> unimatrix9: I don't think it's an official thing
[05:39] <e-Hernick> shearn89: well, they have to download a huge DVD in the first place..
[05:40] <unimatrix9> ah, like linux mint...
[05:40] <sp1nter> only really good if you have dial up
[05:41] <tanath> can someone help me with running firestarter? http://pastebin.com/d5b716c33
[05:41] <unimatrix9> does ultimate edtition run as livecd?
[05:41] <shearn89> unimatrix9: don't think so. I think its more of a "repo on a dvd"
[05:41] <bicbozi> yo yo band of brothers
[05:41] <unimatrix9> ah ok
[05:43] <shearn89> MaGo: are you trying to install software that is not on the dvd?
[05:43] <skyfalcon866> will gusty gibbon be LTS
[05:43] <deniszet> hi all :P
[05:43] <unimatrix9> who has this too : on my older boxes i can not boot the newer versions ( 7.04 ) and up of ubuntu , so i am stuck mith 6.10 for these pc's?
[05:43] <roshan_s> tanath: Install firestarter and run it from Applications > System tools IIRC
[05:43] <RobDaGlob> skyfalcon, no I don't think it will, next LTS is 2008 sometime
[05:43] <astro76> skyfalcon866, most likely 8.04 will be LTS
[05:44] <skyfalcon866> will ext4 be in gusty or or gusty +1
[05:44] <tanath> roshan_s, System > Admin, actually, and it doesn't run when i do that
[05:44] <shearn89> unimatrix9: i had the reverse - i couldn't boot breezy without disabling acpi modules.
[05:44] <unimatrix9> strange..
[05:44] <michael> hi
[05:45] <twosouls82> xflatlinex: you pulled it of using the page? great :)

[05:45] <shearn89> but then my laptop is quite old, and it was some battery module that kept messing up...
[05:45] <unimatrix9> ok all bye bye
[05:45] <michael> i don't know how to use ubuntu
[05:45] <ryanakca> What's are appropriate mount options for /tmp on a server?
[05:45] <astro76> skyfalcon866, sounds like ext4 will be in gutsy+2 or +3
[05:45] <mathias_schnell> Holy crap, I'm downloading the latest WINE at a speed < 1kB/s
[05:45] <skyfalcon866> thanks
[05:46] <tanath> using compiz-fusion, if i run a GUI app with sudo, it has no window decorations. anyone know how to fix this?
[05:46] <roshan_s> tanath: Try gksudo firestarter
[05:46] <shearn89> tanath: have you tried gksudo?
[05:46] <tanath> yep
[05:46] <astro76> tanath, not sure about compiz, but use gksudo
[05:46] <skyfalcon866> should i run xubuntu on a computer with a Pentium 3 933Mhz
[05:46] <shearn89> i love the way everyone suggests the same thing.... (gksudo)
[05:46] <packman86> e-Hernick: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Texas-Instruments-5-in-1-Card-Reader-under-Ubuntu-Edgy-43688.shtml did not work. I run Feisty btw

[05:47] <shearn89> skyfalcon866: should work fine with GNOME.
[05:47] <roshan_s> tanath: Try another admin program and see if it works
[05:47] <skyfalcon866> thx
[05:47] <e-Hernick> packman86: did you manage to load the modules at all?
[05:47] <Kaasle> it it possible to make an ubuntu installation CD out of an ubuntu installation?
[05:47] <shearn89> skyfalcon866: my laptop is 640MHz, 512 RAM, works fine.
[05:47] <skyfalcon866> is gnome more intensive than KDE
[05:47] <mathias_schnell> Could someone give me the terminal command or the application that brings up my Nvidia driver settings?  I forgot it.
[05:47] <tanath> roshan_s, yep
[05:47] <shearn89> skyfalcon866: i think KDE might have more eye-candy. Endless discussions on the forum - check for Gnome vs. KDE
[05:47] <skyfalcon866> ok
[05:48] <Kaasle> it it possible to make an ubuntu installation CD out of an ubuntu installation? can anyone please help??
[05:48] <roshan_s> tanath: Try running firestarter alone, without sudo
[05:48] <tanath> roshan_s, when running firestarter from the menu it doesn't ask for password though. error is before that
[05:48] <packman86> e-Hernick: There were no responses to sudo modprobe tifm_7xx1sudo modprobe tifm_core sudo modprobe tifm_sd

[05:49] <mccune> Hi, I'm trying to install a "complete" ruby in Ubuntu Server 6.06 LTS, but I can't find the irb package using apt-cache search irb1.8 or apt-cache search irb.  Do I need to enable additional repositories?  Ideally, I'd like to stay as close to "stable supported" as possible, e.g. not enable universe or multiverse...
[05:49] <evilash> im tryin to get to irc.rizon.net/6667 but it keeps failing why?
[05:49] <roshan_s> tanath: Try checking the ownership of ~/.Xauthority

[05:50] <evilash> i tried too ad it and it fails
[05:50] <sarixe> this may not be the right place to ask, but what's the difference between freespire and linspire?
[05:50] <shearn89> evilash: its definitely the right address?
[05:50] <tanath> sarixe, free version of linspire
[05:50] <sarixe> that's all it is?
[05:50] <evilash> well it also said instead of 6667 7000
[05:50] <tanath> sarixe, pretty much
[05:50] <sarixe> cool
[05:50] <evilash> i tried both
[05:51] <tanath> sarixe, google it to check the differences
[05:51] <shearn89> evilash: 7000 and up are generally for SSL.
[05:51] <thedash> do drives have to be not mounted to add them to an array with mdadm ?
[05:51] <sarixe> k
[05:51] <shearn89> have you tried pinging it?
[05:51] <zk> anyone have figured out a way to add syslog-ng instead of sysklogd ...without screwing up ubuntu?
[05:51] <astro76> mccune, it is in universe
[05:51] <mccune> astro76: Ah, and only in universe?
[05:51] <evilash> ok so its def 6667 but i clicked add then i typed it in then went to join
[05:51] <astro76> mccune, indeed
[05:51] <anandanbu> Help needed in the instalation of GTK and also the 'atk' and 'cairo' packages in Ubuntu 7.04
[05:52] <TheMafia> how do I enable the unattented-update ?
[05:52] <mccune> astro76: Cool, so if I want to keep my packages as "clean" (e.g. from the supported repositories) as possible...  how do you recommend I do it?
[05:53] <shearn89> evilash: what client are you using for IRC?
[05:53] <roshan_s> tanath: I'm quite sure that's an X server access control problem, caused by running a graphical program with sudo. Logging out and restarting the X server might help
[05:53] <tanath> roshan_s, this has persisted across reboots
[05:54] <JMartinC> hi guys, I'm working with Ubuntu over ssh connection,  I need to open Add / Remove app, can anyone give me the name of the application to call it from console?
[05:54] <shearn89> !xft > shearn89
[05:54] <evilash> hmm im not sure what you mean?
[05:55] <astro76> mccune, universe also gets security updates... so I think you're safe
[05:55] <tanath> roshan_s, hmm... i dragged the icon to the terminal and got: zsh: permission denied: /usr/share/applications/firestarter.desktop

[05:55] <Blaz3> Hello all, I am running 7.04 on a p4 right now and was wondering if there was any advantage to moving over to the 64 bit version for basic every day tasks or if i should just stick with my pre-existing install
[05:55] <zorglu_>  q. what is the name of the feature doing 'fancy' autocompletion in the command line ? the stuff which parse the command and do the autocompletion accordingly... and more importantly how do i remove it :)
[05:55] <evilash> should i have d/l mirc?
[05:55] <mccune> astro76: Cool.  I'm working on a virtual machine appliance image, so it's not a huge deal if I have to trace back to sort out package issues.
[05:55] <astro76> Blaz3, you won't see any advantages, no
[05:55] <mccune> astro76: thank you for your help.
[05:55] <anandanbu> Help needed in the instalation of GTK and also the 'atk' and 'cairo' packages in Ubuntu 7.04
[05:56] <anandanbu> I get the following error while installing atk http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33465/
[05:56] <anandanbu> and cairo http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33466/
[05:56] <thedash> evidently making an array is relatively resource-intensive
[05:56] <Blaz3> thanks astro76
[05:56] <shearn89> evilash: i don't know... i'm on windows atm. Is it graphical?
[05:56] <shearn89> evilash:  or command line?
[05:56] <roshan_s> tanath: That's the correct permissions for that file. I still think it's an xauth problem. Try "xhost -" for now and see if that fixes it
[05:56] <hando> so i was thinking about downloading ubuntu to check it out but then the website throws me a curveball.. do i download the newest version or go with the "LTS" version??
[05:57] <shearn89> hando: latest works fine, LTS is just the really stable one cos its older. Get 7.04 (Feisty)
[05:57] <zorglu_> configure: WARNING: Could not find libpng in the pkg-config search path <- anandanbu this is the stuff
[05:57] <evilash> no i m on linux with ubuntu 7.0.4 and im really struggleing with it im tryin to learn as i go but the simplest tasks seem impossible
[05:57] <zorglu_> anandanbu: find a libpng-devel or close
[05:57] <shearn89> evilash: try downloading GAIM - its really easy to set up.
[05:57] <astro76> hando, definitely 7.04
[05:57] <tanath> roshan_s, nope :(
[05:57] <hando> so is 7.x going to become the lts version of the future?
[05:58] <evilash> i also have that but the people i need to talk to are in irc #niccoders
[05:58] <dWho> hi need help
[05:58] <shearn89> hando: not sure, it might be Gutsy (the upcoming release)
[05:58] <evilash> #nixcoders
[05:58] <tanath> roshan_s, i also removed (purged) and reinstalled it several mins ago.  :-/
[05:58] <astro76> hando, ubuntu releases are determined LTS before release, next one is most likely 8.04
[05:58] <dWho> i want to share internet connection with my other computer how do i do that in fiesty?
[05:58] <novato_br> i am on ubuntu 7.04 - i cant get entering on my gnome session. it was showered this error: http://www.pastebin.ca/654580
[05:58] <shearn89> evilash: open GAIM, then go to Accounts -> Add/Edit -> Add.
[05:58] <zorglu_>  q. what is the name of the feature doing 'fancy' autocompletion in the command line ? the stuff which parse the command and do the autocompletion accordingly... and more importantly how do i remove it :)
[05:58] <hando> is it a simple task to update between version?
[05:59] <roshan_s> tanath: I'm afraid I don't know what the problem is. Purging and reinstalling firestarter won't help. Are you sure no other programs are affected?
[05:59] <shearn89> evilash: it should support IRC.
[05:59] <evilash> for irc ?
[05:59] <dWho> i bought  an 8 port switch but dunno how to share
[05:59] <tanath> roshan_s, none that i've found
[05:59] <evilash> ok thnx i am gratefull
[05:59] <shearn89> hando: yes - there are posts in the forum.
[05:59] <cbx33> anyone managed to get mencoder working on dual cores yet?
[05:59] <tanath> roshan_s, but gksudo won't even run for this one...
[05:59] <shearn89> hando: You can do it by command line by "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (or something similar)
[05:59] <dWho> does anyone knows how to share internet connection using ubuntu fiesty
[06:00] <anandanbu> zorglu_: i need help in doing that
[06:00] <dWho> avahi is seems to use only one ethernet
[06:00] <dWho> does anyone knows how to share internet connection using ubuntu fiesty
[06:00] <hando> ok sorry if i ask the obvious i havent but barely taken a look at ubuntu guys at work seem to like it so i though about giving it a try
[06:00] <zorglu_> anandanbu: ok lets me look
[06:00] <dWho> does anyone knows how to share internet connection using ubuntu fiesty
[06:00] <astro76> !repeat | dWho
[06:00] <ubotu> dWho: 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
[06:00] <hando> dont know if i want to waste a whole day installing a gentoo desktop at work ;)
[06:00] <astro76> !firestarter | dWho you can use firestarter:
[06:00] <ubotu> dWho you can use firestarter:: 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).
[06:00] <zorglu_> anandanbu: try "sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev"
[06:00] <dWho> astro76  : it didn't work... for me..
[06:01] <tanath> astro76, be nice if i could :P
[06:01] <roshan_s> tanath: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firestarter/+bug/30291 seems to fit your problem
[06:01] <zorglu_> anandanbu: not that compiling from source requires some experience, you sure you want to do that ?
[06:01] <hsatera> how do i see information about the hard disk trough commando line?
[06:01] <dWho> astro76  : firestarter keeps telling me errors one ether not ready
[06:01] <shearn89> hsatera: what sort of info?
[06:01] <anandanbu> zorglu_:may i pm you
[06:01] <zorglu_> anandanbu: nope, no need, use the #channel
[06:01] <jimmygoon> astro76, I have to say, I had the same problem when I used firestarter as well. not sure if it was a user error or what, but it wasn't a fun experience
[06:01] <hsatera> shearn89 what's the usage, the total capacity?
[06:01] <roshan_s> tanath: Wait, no it isn't
[06:02] <zorglu_> ok i guess that my francy autocompletion question will be for later :)
[06:02] <anandanbu> zorglu_: ok
[06:02] <anandanbu> zorglu_: help me to correct those poblems
[06:02] <zorglu_> anandanbu: sorry have to go. ask on the channel
[06:03] <Ravenndude`> Does anyone know a program that will convert a .mkv video file with .sfv subtitle file to DVD?
[06:04] <tanath> roshan_s, it's not?
[06:04] <roshan_s> tanath: Maybe it is. Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[06:04] <tanath> roshan_s, feisty
[06:05] <tanath> roshan_s, i think it may be my sudoers file...
[06:05] <tanath> roshan_s, i need to get the right line for it
[06:05] <shearn89> hsatera: try df -h
[06:05] <roshan_s> tanath: Yes, but gksudo shouldn't require that
[06:06] <novato_br> i cant get starting on gnome
[06:06] <novato_br> what can I do ?
[06:06] <novato_br> porraaaa
[06:06] <thedash> ok, is this normal ?
[06:06] <shearn89> anyone handy with openbox? Xft font problem?
[06:06] <deathguppie> hey, does anyone know how to install a package from gutsy gibbon???
[06:06] <tanath> roshan_s, aha, i remember now... if i comment out the line from my sudoers file, i can run it with gksudo, but i want it to start automatically on boot. right now, on boot it says i don't have priveledges to run it, hence the sudoers edit
[06:06] <dooglus> my mouse pointer has stopped moving when I move the mouse.  is there any way to bring it back to life other than by restarting X?
[06:07] <thedash> I'm attempting to make an array, and the load average hasn't gone below 6.00 for the past 15 minutes
[06:07] <dooglus> (it's actually a synaptic touchpad, not a mouse, if that matters)
[06:07] <tanath> roshan_s, but now it just errors out
[06:07] <shearn89> deathguppie: i think you need the cds, unless the repos are online yet.
[06:07] <shearn89> novato_br: can you clarify your problem?
[06:07] <deathguppie> shearn89: the cds?
[06:07] <jiphex> Hello, can anyone help me configure my dual monitors? My xorg.conf is at http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/33470. My problem is that the config works fine on one monitor, but the other shows the same image as the first, running the monitor at the right resolution but the image is all mushed up to the left.
[06:07] <roshan_s> tanath: You don't need to run the firestarter GUI on boot. It sets up the firewall in an init script
[06:08] <tanath> roshan_s, but if i want the icon i have to run it
[06:08] <BenG-> need help with my soundcard :-(
[06:08] <Radio> hmmm
[06:08] <tanath> roshan_s, it shows additional info i may want to see
[06:08] <Radio> what do i need to use to be able to see my other ubuntu comp?
[06:08] <BenG-> can somebody help me?
[06:08] <novato_br> shearn89, when i intitialize my gnome - session during loading of programs, it freezed
[06:08] <roshan_s> Yes, but in your own session when you login, not at boot time
[06:08] <shearn89> novato_br: do you get an error messagE?
[06:08] <shearn89> *message?
[06:08] <novato_br> yep, shearn89
[06:09] <novato_br> this:  http://www.pastebin.ca/654580
[06:09] <shearn89> deathguppoe: the iso for the latest testing release.
[06:09] <unagi>  so i dont get this.........i have an executable text file that says 'cat /etc/X11/xorgorig.conf && maya' but it doesnt seem to work when i log in, it works when i manually type it into the terminal........any idea why?
[06:09] <shearn89> novato_br: hold on, just having a look.
[06:09] <novato_br> ok
[06:09] <BenG-> i dont get any sound from my soundcard. ubuntu found my soundcard. i configured it but it still dont work
[06:10] <tanath> roshan_s, do you know how i could get it to run when i log in without asking for the pass or erroring out?
[06:10] <Ravenndude`> Does anyone know a program that will convert a .mkv video file with .sfv subtitle file to DVD?
[06:10] <e-Hernick> BenG-: what kind of soundcard do you have? Did you turn up the volume in the mixer?
[06:10] <tanath> Ravenndude`, try devede
[06:10] <BenG-> I turned up the alsamixer. i have an Intel HDA Soundcard (onboard on my Notebook)
[06:10] <e-Hernick> Ravenndude`: are you sure you've got a .sfv subtitle file? Cause .sfv usually is a checksum, .srt is subtitles
[06:10] <thedash> is making an array resource-intensive ?
[06:11] <jimmygoon> !sound | BenG-
[06:11] <ubotu> BenG-: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:11] <e-Hernick> thedash: yes, it can take a long time, it has to go over the whole drives
[06:11] <shearn89> novato_br: looks quite weird... try Ctrl-Alt-F1 to a CLI, then login and type "startx"
[06:11] <tanath> Ravenndude`, to add subtitles, click advanced options
[06:11] <e-Hernick> thedash: you can check progress with cat /proc/mdstat
[06:11] <Ravenndude`> e-Hernick, You are right. the .mkv has the subtitles in them already.
[06:11] <BenG-> i switched to alsa in my configuration but i dont get any sound :-( no error, no sound
[06:11] <Ravenndude`> tanath, thanks, I'll try it
[06:11] <thedash> e-Hernick :: k, I was just wondering, as my system hasn't gone below a 6.00 load average for the last 20 minutes own
[06:12] <novato_br> what? shearn89
[06:12] <e-Hernick> thedash: does /proc/mdstat show progress?
[06:12] <tanath> heh, wasn't paying that close attention
[06:12] <roshan_s> tanath: Try this http://www.fs-security.com/docs/faq.php#trayicon
[06:12] <tanath> Ravenndude`, devede automates everything for you. makes it very simple
[06:12] <thedash> e-Hernick :: heh, 193.8 minutes left :P
[06:12] <shearn89> novato_br: at the login screen, press Ctrl-Alt-F1. Then login as usual, and type "startx"
[06:12] <thedash> e-Hernick :: should have done that overnight :P
[06:12] <macabro22> can you guys play mp4 in banshee?
[06:12] <novato_br> oktanouc, shearn89
[06:12] <e-Hernick> thedash: you can limit the maximum array construction speed
[06:12] <novato_br> i will try it
[06:12] <techjim> can I launch the alt-f2 program from terminal??
[06:13] <thedash> e-Hernick :: it's going at ~20 MB/s atm
[06:13] <e-Hernick> thedash: if it's slowing down your system too much you can cap the speed lower
[06:13] <shearn89> techjim: no, its a gui.
[06:13] <balazs> what program do you recommend to create MP3-s from a CD ? Sound Juicer only seems to create OGG
[06:13] <hsatera> thedash how so this speed?
[06:13] <thedash> e-Hernick :: how do I go about doing that ?
[06:13] <e-Hernick> cat /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max
[06:14] <hsatera> e-Hernick this is how u measure the net speed?
[06:14] <e-Hernick> thedash: and you can just echo new_speed_limit > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max
[06:14] <thedash> 200000 :)
[06:14] <thedash> where new_speed_limit is some other number ?
[06:14] <e-Hernick> thedash: yes.
[06:14] <hsatera> thedash how do i measure the speed of my connection{/
[06:14] <e-Hernick> hsatera: iptraf
[06:15] <mcphail> Does anyone know a package which will convert SVG's to PDF as vector graphics rather than bitmaps?
[06:15] <techjim> shearn89: anyway to launch it other then alt-f2?
[06:15] <hsatera> e-Hernick be more specific
[06:15] <hsatera> :D
[06:15] <e-Hernick> hsatera: install iptraf
[06:15] <e-Hernick> hsatera: run iptraf, it's the nicest connection monitor I know of
[06:15] <dooglus> my mouse pointer has stopped moving when I move the mouse.  is there any way to bring it back to life other than by restarting X?
[06:15] <dooglus> (it's actually a synaptic touchpad, not a mouse, if that matters)
[06:15] <theo_> how do you install skype?
[06:15] <e-Hernick> dooglus: you could try unplugging the USB
[06:15] <tanath> roshan_s, thanks
[06:16] <e-Hernick> dooglus: oh, I suppose you can't do that
[06:16] <dooglus> e-Hernick: it's not USB, it's kind of built in
[06:16] <shearn89> techjim: i don't think so. It won't work in a terminal at all, as the terminal doesn't start anything for "drawing" guis...
[06:16] <hsatera> e-Hernick in their website, it asks the username and pwd in the ftp
[06:16] <thedash> e-Hernick :: it gives me permission denied errors when I try to change it :(
[06:16] <novato_br> shearn89, i cant
[06:16] <Drk_Guy> Guys
[06:16] <e-Hernick> thedash: you know what sudo is?
[06:16] <Drk_Guy> X is beign so rebel
[06:16] <thedash> yes, same error
[06:17] <tanath> balazs, it can do mp3s too
[06:17] <dooglus> e-Hernick: "synclient -m 100" monitors the touchpad, and shows it moving when I move my finger, but the cursor on-screen doesn't move
[06:17] <Drk_Guy> It doesn't want to let me set-up my res
[06:17] <shearn89> novato_br: damn... that was my only good idea. Have you tried the forums?
[06:17] <tanath> balazs, whatever you have encoders for
[06:17] <novato_br> shearn89,  ctrl + alt + f1 and after startx doesn't works
[06:17] <novato_br> yep
[06:17] <novato_br> i didn't never seen this error
[06:17] <techjim> shearn89: thanks for the input.  if you're curious i'm VNCing and tightvnc offers up no "send alt" option while alt+f2 brings up KDE launch prog on this gentoo machine
[06:17] <shearn89> novato_br: google? as a last resort?
[06:17] <novato_br> resort ???
[06:17] <novato_br> i cant understood
[06:17] <tanath> novato_br, that was a double negative, lol
[06:17] <shearn89> novato_br: i don't have any other ideas, sorry....
[06:18] <hsatera> e-Hernick i cant download it at all
[06:18] <mwalling> has anyone had sucess with openvpn? or for that matter with the tunnel interface?
[06:18] <e-Hernick> hsatera: have you tried installing it with apt-get?
[06:18] <shearn89> techjim: got it... sounds (a little) complicated...
[06:18] <e-Hernick> hsatera: I'm pretty sure there's an iptraf package..
[06:18] <theo_> installing skype on AMD64 problems
[06:18] <tanath> roshan_s, running 'sudo firestarter --start-hidden' as suggested in the article only seems to work from a terminal, and then closing the terminal kills it. :(
[06:18] <Drk_Guy> I think novato_br is brazilian
[06:18] <thedash> e-Hernick :: dash@dashktop:~$ sudo echo 100000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max
[06:18] <thedash> bash: /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max: Permission denied
[06:19] <e-Hernick> thedash: oh oh
[06:19] <Mr_Bomb> hey guys, got a quick question about getting bcm43xx-fwcutter installed.
[06:19] <shearn89> can anyone make head or tail of this: http://www.pastebin.ca/654580 for novato_br?
[06:19] <e-Hernick> thedash: that's because you're running echo as root, but the redirection still runs under your own user
[06:19] <thedash> e-Hernick :: it's smarter than me atm, but that's not saying much
[06:19] <novato_br> shearn89, everything is started when I wanna put skype on gnome startup
[06:19] <astro76> thedash, use sudo bash -c "echo 100000 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max"
[06:19] <thedash> ah
[06:19] <Lappy> hello, my mplayer doesn't play avis/mkvs, i have installed so many codecs... i am probably missing the correct ones or some configuration somewhere, can anyone point me in hte right direction?
[06:19] <shearn89> novato_br: how did you do that? Using the session manager?
[06:20] <roshan_s> tanath: Try gksudo firestarter --start-hidden from the Run dialog
[06:20] <thedash> that worked, danke :)
[06:20] <novato_br> yep, shearn89
[06:20] <novato_br> i did use the session manager
[06:20] <shearn89> novato_br: ok, give me a minute.
[06:20] <novato_br> but i cant access the session manager
[06:20] <Drk_Guy> Oh f.........
[06:20] <Drk_Guy> Guys
[06:20] <novato_br> when i execute the session manager, it is not opened
[06:20] <thedash> e-Hernick :: heh, the load average dropped by half, the CPU usage went down, and the time remaining stayed the same :P
[06:20] <Drk_Guy> X won't let me put my resolution
[06:20] <tanath> roshan_s, appears to do nothing. and clicking the icon in the menu still asks for the password...
[06:21] <Drk_Guy> Why?
[06:21] <Drk_Guy> I've used all the alternatives from !videores

[06:21] <Mr_Bomb> I'm having a problem with installing just about anything, everything seems to need bcm43xx-fwcutter, but when it tries to install it just gets a 404. So I downloaded it from packages.debian.org and tried to install it only to get another 404

[06:22] <roshan_s> tanath: I don't see how "sudo firestarter ..." can fail to work from the Run dialog. It should be just like running it from the terminal, except standard input and output are redirected

[06:25] <shearn89> sph109: try "nano" instead of "gedit"

[06:26] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, okay I've installed that package via wget, but things still look towards the original host when trying to install? Do I just need to update my package lists?
[06:26] <tanath> roshan_s, nothing relevent

[06:26] <soothsayer> Is packages.ubuntu.com down for maintenance?
[06:26] <BenG-> there is a 01 ?
[06:27] <roshan_s> soothsayer: Yes

[06:29] <roshan_s> tanath: Any errors should be at the end, so if there's nothing, that means the program died with no error whatsoever :|
[06:29] <tanath> roshan_s, nothing that went there anyway
[06:29] <Drk_Guy> How can i put custom resolutions in X?
[06:30] <roshan_s> tanath: All programs run from X have their standard error redirected there
[06:30] <e-Hernick> Drk_Guy: by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:30] <Drk_Guy> It didn't work
[06:30] <Drk_Guy> Neither did "sudo nvidia-settings"
[06:31] <roshan_s> tanath: I'm sorry. I'm at my wits end with this problem :(

[06:32] <ZAKhan> is there an easy install guide to compiz and will it work on my HDTV?
[06:32] <Drk_Guy> Or "Option "UseEdidFreqs" "false"
[06:32] <roshan_s> tanath: The last hope is to log out and log in again, as that should make your Gnome environment variables same as the terminal ones

[06:33] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, after downloading bcm43xx from the link you gave me with wget, how do I install it? Sorry I haven't used linux in a really long time
[06:33] <tanath> roshan_s, thx
[06:33] <Lappy> device*, whenever i try to play .avis
[06:33] <tanath> ZAKhan, try this: http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/enable_compizfusion_in_ubuntu_feisty/
[06:33] <Lappy> on mplayer
[06:33] <stephans_> why are there no debian packages for flash player x64
[06:33] <attunix> how can i install a .emerald theme file?
[06:33] <stephans_> There are legnthy instructions on ubuntu guide...
[06:34] <jenetik> fuck you
[06:34] <mheath> stephans_, Flash is a proprietary, binary offering. It only comes as 32bit, unfortunately.
[06:34] <c01100011> hendrick.kaju.pri is down, is there another repo for screenlets ?
[06:34] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, dpkg -i
[06:34] <unagi> anyone here create their own gdm themes?
[06:34] <stephans_> there are 64 bit rpms.
[06:34] <mheath> unagi, I have before.
[06:34] <fifth-element> where can i find tutorials of nasm
[06:34] <unagi> is it difficult?
 there are 64 bit rpms
[06:34] <Paddy_EIRE> unagi: there are guides on gnome-look and art.gnome
[06:35] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, no such file or directory
[06:35] <Drk_Guy> unagi: gnome-look.com
[06:35] <mheath> stephans_, I have no idea how they'd accomplish that.
[06:35] <Mr_Bomb> when I do dpkg -i bcm43xx
[06:35] <tanath> fifth-element, you can find pretty much anything w/ google
[06:35] <jimmygoon> Mr_Bomb, you don't have dpkg?
[06:35] <stephans_> ubuntu 64x should be able to run all the 32 bit softwre anyhow so why is this a problem???
[06:35] <Mr_Bomb> jimmygoon, no I've got it
[06:35] <jimmygoon> oh, it just can't file bcm43xx?
[06:35] <Mr_Bomb> jimmygoon, yeah
[06:36] <ZAKhan> tanath, will compiz work on HDTV?
[06:36] <John_M> Hello, I have a question about a sound card issue... anyone up for that?
[06:36] <tanath> ZAKhan, using an hdtv as your monitor?
[06:36] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, dpkg -i completefilename
[06:36] <mheath> ZAKhan, Copmpiz (XGL) is handled by the video card. It has nothing to do with the monitor.
[06:36] <Paddy_EIRE> !ask | John_M
[06:36] <paritosh> where are the temporary archives stored in ubuntu?
[06:36] <ubotu> John_M: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:36] <tanath> ZAKhan, haven't tried that, but i don't see why not
[06:37] <John_M> !ask
[06:37] <mheath> ZAKhan, If your video card works with Compiz, and your video card works with the TV, then compiz will work on your TV.
[06:37] <John_M> :)
[06:37] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, I did. dpkg -i bcm43xx, and also tried dpkg -i bcm43xx-fwcutter
[06:37] <Drk_Guy> Could anyone ever help me with X???
[06:37] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, dpkg -i fullfilenameofdebyoudownloaded.deb
[06:37] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, you need the complete filename. including .deb
[06:37] <paritosh> temporary archives, when updating system using apt-get - where are they stored? im getting disk full messages, when i have 700 mb free
[06:38] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, tanath, still no go
[06:38] <paritosh> and requirement is only 140 mb
[06:38] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, package name alone only works with apt-get and such
[06:38] <Mr_Bomb> wget downloads to my home folder does it not?
[06:38] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, ah okay thanks :)
[06:38] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, use tab completion to make sure you're typing it right
[06:38] <Paddy_EIRE> Mr_Bomb: yes it does
[06:38] <ZAKhan> I have an ATI X600 video card
[06:39] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, also, make sure you're in the right directory, or you include the path
[06:39] <zerokill88> when a program needs QT 3.2 or higher, what do i download or what do i look for?
[06:39] <Pejalan> irc.dal.net 6667
[06:39] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, yeah there's nothing there. it's not in my home directory, it must of downloaded somewhere else
[06:39] <beug> hi all
[06:39] <John_M> SoundBlaster live pci card works great with other OS, upon installing ubuntu, a loud static noise is present as soon as sound is activated during boot.
[06:40] <joshritger> can anyone help me with installing xubuntu?
[06:40] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, the only files I have on my system (even after downloading from the earlier link), are bcm43xx.cat, and bcm43xx64.cat
[06:40] <beug> joshritger, i never install xubuntu but i suppose ubuntu is th esame
[06:40] <cewEk> ehm
[06:41] <thedash> bleh, I can't get Evolution to download anything from gmail :(
[06:41] <Mr_Bomb> thedash, have you enabled POP access in your gmail account?>
[06:41] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/pool/feisty-cafuego/bcm43xx/bcm43xx-firmware_1.3-1ubuntu2_all.deb
[06:41] <Drk_Guy> !resolution
[06:41] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:41] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, copy the link to the file and in the terminal try 'wget <paste url here>' then the file will be in that directory
[06:41] <c01100011> I am looking for screenlets is there another repo or site to download a .deb, hendrick.kaju.pri.ee is down
[06:41] <joshritger> beug: I am getting an error when I try to install 7.04, I can install 6.10 or xubuntu and I also can install ubuntu 7.04 but not 7.04 or xubuntu
[06:41] <dWho> what's the correct netmask if I have a subnet of 192.168.0.1 ?
[06:42] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, then you won't need to changed dirs to dpkg it
[06:42] <thedash> Mr_Bomb :: yes, it worked on my install just a few days ago, but now it doesn't
[06:42] <ntbnnt> the netmask is usually 255.255.255.0 by default dWho
[06:42] <beug> joshritger,  what is the error with 7.04
[06:43] <dWho> but i have this error ntbnnt /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf line 5: subnet 192.168.0.1 netmask 192.168.0.10: bad subnet number/mask combination.
[06:43] <dWho> subnet 192.168.0.1 netmask 192.168.0.10 Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting
[06:43] <joshritger> beug: It goes thought the whole process I tell it to use guided install with the whole disk and it keeps saying there is an error with writing the partion information
[06:43] <joshritger> beug: I have also checked the cd to make sure it is valid and had no errors and it checks out ok
[06:43] <ntbnnt> dWho, you have a router
[06:43] <Mr_Bomb> thanks tanath, astro76 I think it worked :)
[06:43] <beug> joshritger, prepare your disk manually before
[06:43] <k3rni_> joshritger: why don't you do a server ubuntu install and "apt-get xubuntu-desktop" then?
[06:44] <bulmer> dWho: mask dont normally like to have zeroes in-between
[06:44] <joshritger> beug: I have also tried that and it doesn't seem to work
[06:44] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, glad i could help you do whatever it was you were doing :P
[06:44] <dWho> i tried 255.255.255.0
[06:44] <k3rni_> *apt-get install xubuntu-desktop, that is
[06:44] <Roge> does ubuntu have a repair function. ? i screwed up my swap space
[06:44] <joshritger> beug: it gives me the same error of writing the partition
[06:44] <dWho> bulmer i don't have a hardware router i want to use my ubuntu fiesty to share internet connection
[06:44] <bulmer> dWho: thats fine..you just have to set it correctly
[06:45] <Paddy_EIRE> Roge: boot into recovery mode
[06:45] <dWho> 255.255.255.0 didn't work bulmer... how do I do that
[06:45] <Roge> ill give that a try
[06:45] <Roge> thx
[06:45] <bulmer> dWho: it didnt work? how so? give the details pls
[06:45] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, err, still not working though. My problem is that, regardless of what I try to install, it looks for bcm43xx-fwcutter, but since the server is down apt-get can't find it. How can I update my package list since it's now installed (or should be)?
[06:46] <bulmer> dWho: btw there are not pure hardware router, they all have software to configure and control them
[06:46] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, i don't have a problem updating, but i'm using the canadian mirrors.
[06:46] <messju> hi, how can i disable the "smart" bash completion for a certain user?
[06:46] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, try adding ca. to your reop URIs
[06:46] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, *repo
[06:46] <dWho> /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start using the configuration in the conf file using 192.168.0.1 as my subnet and 255.255.255.0 as my netmask

[06:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sources.lst - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:47] <bulmer> messju: im not 100% sure but you may want to try set -o emac  (changes default from vim to emacs)

[06:47] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, how do I add it rather than just switching to it?>
[06:47] <joshritger> beug: the hard drive?
[06:47] <beug> yep
[06:47] <joshritger> beug: how would I check it?
[06:47] <beug> hmmm
[06:47] <bulmer> dWho: so what happened?
[06:47] <tbrock> hey guys how do i install flash for firefox
[06:47] <beug> dd_rescue
[06:47] <beug> ?
[06:48] <tbrock> or what is the best way / best version to install
[06:48] <dWho> bullmer : bad subnet number/mask combination
[06:48] <bulmer> dWho: which config file?
[06:48] <k3rni_> e2fsck -c ?
[06:48] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, if you like, you can 'sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' and duplicate your entries, comment out the existing ones with # and modify the new ones
[06:48] <beug> maybe with hdparm -t T /dev/DEVICE you will see something wrong
[06:48] <dWho> bulmer : /dhcpd.conf
[06:48] <joshritger> beug: now that I think of it when I installed 6.10 it said something about bad sectors, but then it installed fine
[06:48] <beug> 6.10 rocks :=)
[06:49] <CaBlGuY> !codecs
[06:49] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, then to undo, you can delete the modified ones, and uncomment your old ones

[06:49] <dWho> yes...
[06:50] <jiphex> Hi, I'm using the ATI bigdesktop driver with my two monitors, but I can't get compiz fusion to work. When I run compiz --replace, I get 'Failed test: texture_from_pixmap support" Anyone got any ideas?
[06:50] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, yeah, would I just add the canada mirrors tot he bottom?
[06:50] <dWho> bulmer : what do I do?
[06:50] <joshritger> beug: I am using ubuntu 7.04 on the machine I am talking to you from, but i have a 500 mhz p3 that I want to run xubuntu from because it is a lil slow for gnome
[06:50] <bulmer> dWho: umm how did you tell the dhcpd to look there at the root level?
[06:50] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, yep. and comment out your old ones
[06:51] <dWho> bulmer i'm sorry.. not at the root level
[06:51] <beug> joshritger, ok why not
[06:51] <dWho> bulmer : /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
[06:51] <bulmer> dWho: paste the contents of your dhcpd.conf on pastebin
[06:52] <dWho> but I can only access it using root
[06:52] <tim168> is there a powerpc G5 version of ubuntu ?
[06:52] <GreyGhost> is there any harm in leaving the source repos in ? will they interfere or anything?
[06:52] <Rondom> tim168: yes, there is
[06:52] <joshritger> beug: isn't 500 mhz a lil slow for gnome?
[06:52] <tim168> Rondom where can i find it ?

[06:55] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, sudo aptitude update
[06:55] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, okay I'm confused, did I not just install bcm43xx-fwcutter?
[06:55] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, you used the other package, it doesn't use fwcutter, it just installs the firmware
[06:55] <astro76> cafuego's package
[06:55] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, try updating first now, and tell me what happens
[06:55] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, tanath ah okay
[06:55] <Mr_Bomb> updating now

[06:56] <Mr_Bomb> fqh, lol yes, the quandries of a mac geek lost in linux :P
[06:56] <rukie> I know about mythtv and tvtime
[06:56] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, if it succeeds, as it should, then you should be able to start fixing things from the repos
[06:56] <Mr_Bomb> fqh, I use to use it a lot, but I haven't in a long time
[06:56] <tim168> where can i find a powerpc version of ubuntu for G5 ?
[06:56] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, ah excellent

[06:57] <faileas> o0
[06:57] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, okay the update finished without errors, what do I do now
[06:57] <MinuteElectron> I thought that Ubuntu server edition was meant to come with Apache, MySQL and PHP preconfigured. I just installed it but non are working.
[06:57] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, what was the initial prob?
[06:58] <faileas> MinuteElectron: i think thats an option when you boot?
[06:58] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, what were  you trying to do when you found it, that is
[06:58] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, I couldnt install anything through apt-get because it all needed bcm43xx-fwcutter
[06:58] <MinuteElectron> faileas: boot?
[06:58] <GreyGhost> what happens when one adds src repos to apt?
[06:58] <Rondom> tim168: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/
[06:59] <faileas> MinuteElectron: the install cd
[06:59] <Beeeej> hi, when i am trying to ssh to my server i get the err message: Permission denied (publickey,password).' any clue?
[06:59] <GreyGhost> !src
[06:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about src - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:59] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, try using synaptic to fix broken packages
[06:59] <techjim> what viewer do you guys use for animated .gif?
[06:59] <MinuteElectron> faileas: hmm, I swear I pushed LAMP.
[06:59] <MinuteElectron> faileas: How can I tell if I accidentally pushed DNS?
[06:59] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, now that you have an updated package list with functioning repos, it should be able to sort things out
[06:59] <jaytee> Beeeej: are you listed as an authorized ssh user on the server?
[06:59] <bulmer> dWho: and those causes a problem? paste again the sequence of system response when you start your dhcp server
[07:00] <faileas> MinuteElectron: donno
[07:00] <MinuteElectron> faileas: :( thanks anyway
[07:00] <rukie> what programs are available for watching tv in ubuntu?
[07:00] <rukie> Mythtv/tvtime and what else?
[07:00] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, BTW, after this is over, you might want to keep those repos in your source list and just comment them out in case you need them again
[07:00] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, hmmm nope, still can't find it. When using synaptic I just get a "E: bcm43xx-fwcutter: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" error
[07:00] <Beeeej> jaytee: how should i do that? i have the root pass on my server so i do ssh root@serverIP
[07:01] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, yeah I'll definitley do that
[07:01] <dWho> bulmer : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33475/
[07:01] <John_M> sound blaster live pci sound card causes static when initialized. Any hints as to how to resolve this issue?
[07:01] <jaytee> Beeeej: ack!  no!  ssh to root is BAD
[07:01] <MinuteElectron> Does anyone know how I tell whether I pushed DNS or LAMP when installing Ubuntu server?
[07:01] <astro76> rukie, that's all the good ones I know of, can't really do better than tvtime
[07:01] <whiter> anyone know anything about iphone/linux compatibility
[07:01] <whiter> as far as the ipod functions
[07:01] <whiter> putting music on it
[07:01] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, what happens if you run 'sudo aptitude reinstall bcm43xx-fwcutter' ?
[07:01] <p1ls> where the files from skype save?
[07:01] <dWho> bulmer : I tried this one http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33476/ but same error
[07:01] <astro76> !tv | rukie
[07:01] <ubotu> rukie: 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
[07:02] <Beeeej> jaytee: i know i also ssh someuser@serverIP which i have defined on server. but i get Permission denied (publickey,password).'
[07:02] <jaytee> Beeeej: whay not ssh in as a normal user and then just sudo what you need or go up to root only when needed
[07:02] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, get a 404 from boredklink.googlepages.com
[07:02] <bulmer> dWho: are you sure that the correct format? am not familiar with dhcp3 server ..verify the way you have entered the data
[07:02] <tanath> o.O
[07:02] <bulmer> maybe it needs to be in the next line
[07:02] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, that's not good
[07:03] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, looks to me like there's a good chance you've been rooted
[07:03] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, ah great, can I get whatever it is from somewhere else?
[07:03] <dWho> bulmer : i'm not sure either but that's how Firestarter created the config
[07:03] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, rooted?
[07:03] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, rooted. owned. hacked
[07:03] <astro76> tanath, why?
[07:03] <Beeeej> jaytee: :) i know but the problem is that i get this: Permission denied (publickey,password). any clue?
[07:03] <sand_storm> Hi, i installed Linux yellow dog on my PS3 and i want to replace it with Ubuntu, is installing Ubuntu on PS3 like installing it on PC? or is there other steps?
[07:03] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, cause you shouldn't be trying to pull packages from googlepages, which is a free hosting site
[07:03] <ZAKhan> when i try to compiz install the key i get this error " gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error"
[07:03] <bulmer> dWho: the error doesnt seem to look right
[07:03] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, I seriously doubt that, ubuntu's only been installed since last night. I was having this same error last night right after a fresh install
[07:04] <astro76> tanath, it does, that is where the firmware file wl_apsta.o is stored, and it's over quota
[07:04] <jiphex> Hi, I'm using the ATI bigdesktop driver with my two monitors, but I can't get compiz fusion to work. When I run compiz --replace, I get 'Failed test: texture_from_pixmap support" Anyone got any ideas?
[07:04] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, is there somewhere else I can get it?
[07:04] <tanath> astro76, he shouldn't be installing anything with files hosted there
[07:04] <astro76> tanath, trust me, that's how it works
[07:04] <dWho> bulmer: i'm I missing something ? life another lib or services to install? firestarter's internet sharing won't start
[07:05] <tanath> astro76, i didn't say it didn't work that way
[07:05] <astro76> tanath, and it used to work, but the server is not longer working
[07:05] <bulmer> dWho: wait a minute..you only need access to the internet? why do you need to have your own dhcp server?
[07:05] <qetuR> I need heko with rythmbox
[07:05] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, I gave you the alternative, I'm not sure what your problem is
[07:05] <Beeeej> when i want to ssh to my server i get this error: Permission denied (publickey,password). can someone help me plz?
[07:05] <qetuR> the last.fm plugin doesnt work
[07:06] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, did you try to remove bcm43xx-fwcutter?
[07:06] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, and I downloaded and installed that, so I'm not sure why it's not working either
[07:06] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, if you remove the package, what happens?
[07:06] <ZAKhan> when i try to install compiz keys i get this error " gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error", please help
[07:06] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, astro76, using apt-get uninstall?
[07:06] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, use aptitude
[07:06] <dWho> i have a switch and another linux box i want to share my internet connection to it...
[07:06] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, apt-get remove, and what isn't working btw?
[07:06] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, it has better dependency resolution, and you might need it
[07:06] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, what's the difference betweent and apt and aptitude
[07:06] <Mr_Bomb> oh okay
[07:06] <jaytee> Beeeej: does your servers sshd_config file have an AllowUsers line?
[07:07] <p1ls> where the files from skype save?
[07:07] <qetuR> "Problem occured without error being set. This is a bug in Rythmbox or GStreamer"
[07:07] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, everything basically, any time I try and install anything through apt-get it asks for bcm43xx-fwcutter
[07:07] <dWho> bulmer : I have a switch and another linux box i want to share my internet connection to it using the switch I bought because my isp uses bridged mode...
[07:07] <jaytee> Beeeej: does your /etc/hosts.allow file have an "sshd: ALL" line?
[07:08] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, yeah see if it's installed and remove it if so, use synaptic if necessary... also try fix broken packages in synaptic
[07:08] <aerotim13> my synaptic thing doesn't work.. i get an error "dpkg was interrupted, yo must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a" to correct the problem"
[07:08] <aerotim13> i don't really know what to do because i just started using linux and ubuntu yesterday
[07:08] <whiter>  i have a Mobile AMD Sempron Processor 3500+ and i just did cat /proc/cpuinfo and it says its running at 800.000 MHz
[07:08] <jaytee> Beeeej: man sshd or sshd_config or hosts.allow
[07:08] <whiter> pretty sure thats wrong, anyone know why?
[07:08] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, you might want to try that too: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[07:09] <astro76> aerotim13, close synaptic, in a terminal, type: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[07:09] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, hmmm seems it's not installed, aptitude remove bcm43xx-fwcutter doesn't remove anything
[07:09] <aerotim13> it says i have to have superuser privledges
[07:09] <twosouls82> whiter: it is using powersave
[07:09] <suspec1> How to import subtitles in Totem Movie Player?

[07:09] <whiter> twosouls82 how can i not let it use powersave?
[07:09] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, yeh, i thought there'd be a prob like that
[07:09] <bulmer> dWho: the switch you bought? how is your connectivy layout looks like? elaborate
[07:09] <ZAKhan> tanath, can you help plz
[07:09] <twosouls82> whiter: I don't know for ubbie, try and google it
[07:09] <astro76> aerotim13, you typed what I said with sudo? It shoudl ask for your user password
[07:10] <whiter> kk
[07:10] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, does anything show up in broken packages with synaptic?
[07:10] <tanath> ZAKhan, does that prevent you from installing it?
[07:10] <ZAKhan> tanath,  the guide says to install the keys first
[07:10] <tanath> ZAKhan, which repository are you using?
[07:10] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, no
[07:10] <whiter> twosouls82 is it called powersave or something else?
[07:11] <tanath> ZAKhan, the keys are for verification
[07:11] <aerotim13> i think it's working now, thanks
[07:11] <locke> I can move my mouse from the left of my first monitor to the right of my 2nd monitor, but I can't drag windows all the way over to the second monitor, why is this, can anyone help please?
[07:11] <tanath> ZAKhan, security precaution, but not strictly necessary
[07:11] <ZAKhan> tanath, so i can continue without it?
[07:11] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, you've got one of those annoying broken dependency situations
[07:11] <twosouls82> whiter: lemme google it a sec
[07:11] <tanath> ZAKhan, yeah
[07:12] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, hmmm great
[07:12] <dWho> bulmer : [isp] <-------- dhcp --------->[dslmodem] <------------->[linux_eth0]  | [linux_eth1] <------------>[ switch_port1]  | [switch_port2] <--------------->[linux2_eth0] 
[07:12] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, can you find the app in synaptic?
[07:12] <whiter> found it
[07:12] <whiter> nevermind
[07:12] <twosouls82> whiter: the info you need is on: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty/Hardware
[07:12] <twosouls82> whiter: =)
[07:12] <whiter> found out how to do it
[07:12] <whiter> :-D
[07:13] <twosouls82> goodie
[07:13] <locke> Does anyone have any ideas about my problem?
[07:13] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, yes. There's bcm43xx-firmware and bcm43xx-fwcutter
[07:13] <bulmer> dWho: okay..and the problem is at linux_eth0 box?
[07:13] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, either of them installed?
[07:13] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, one depending on the other?
[07:14] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, the firmware seems to be installed but the cutter isn't
[07:14] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, make sure both are uninstalled
[07:14] <Mr_Bomb> k
[07:14] <Todd_> Hello all. Has anyone install the GUI into 6.10 server?
[07:14] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, complete removal?
[07:14] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, sure
[07:14] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, might be a good idea in this case
[07:15] <andreas_> Hi. Is there any way of seeing what my neighbour is using my internet connection for?
[07:15] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, got an error: "E: The package cache file is corrupted
[07:15] <Mr_Bomb> E: _cache->open()failed, pleae report
[07:15] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, the problem is, the one is installed, but depends on the other, which wasn't installed
[07:15] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, ah okay
[07:15] <balazs> what program do you recommend to create MP3-s from a CD ? Sound Juicer only seems to create OGG
[07:15] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, sudo aptitude clean
[07:15] <dWho> bulmer : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33479/
[07:15] <Todd_> I'm wondering if it is necessary for me to be connected to the internet when doing $ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[07:16] <funfun_> With Sound Juicer you can create MP3 from a CD
[07:16] <astro76> tanath, Mr_Bomb they don't depend on each other, bcm43xx-firmware is not in ubuntu's repos, it's the one he got from cafuego
[07:16] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, cleaned
[07:16] <bulmer> dWho: okay..and the problem is at linux_eth0 box?
[07:16] <Todd_> Anyone?........
[07:16] <Todd_> Anyone?
[07:16] <Todd_> :-)
[07:16] <tanath> astro76, the firmware must be depending on the fwcuttter
[07:16] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, I also remembered it should ask you if you want to download that file from googlepages when you install it... did you install from synaptic or apt-get?
[07:17] <tanath> astro76, heh, finger-stutter there
[07:17] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, apt-get
[07:17] <dWho> bulmer : Linux_eth0 works fine... it is what i'm currently using right now ... i think it's Linux_eth1
[07:17] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, try again
[07:17] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, did you say yes during the install?
[07:17] <ranjan> balazs: do u have gstreamer mad and gstreamer lame packages installed? sound juicer can conver to mp3s
[07:17] <bruenig> if anyone uses cpufreqd, the variable acpi_temperature is said to be a percent but a percent of what?
[07:17] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, it never asked me
[07:18] <Mr_Bomb> didn't get to that point, got a 404
[07:18] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, strange
[07:18] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, try installing again?
[07:18] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, because you should be able to install it and use fwcutter on a firmware file you downloaded another way
[07:18] <bulmer> dWho: i think from your dhcpd.conf  the 72.x.x.x seems out of place..they should be in same subnet as 192.168.0.x
[07:18] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, right now just try to remove those two packages to see if you can install others again
[07:18] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, yeah that was my understanding
[07:18] <TheRF> Hi. I have been trying to install VIA Integrated Display Drivers using the information available in this PDF: http://www.viaarena.com/Driver/cle266cn400cn-cx700cn800xorg40072-kernel-src_20061226c(20070604103608).zip however, I am now stuck at (d) where it mentions the modification of the Makefile.
[07:18] <facugaich> How can I configure my pc to shutdown at a given time? Cron maybe?
[07:19] <dWho> bulmer : there's a problem i guess in avahi... it doesn't tries to listen at both ethernet... it only uses 1 so
[07:19] <astro76> facugaich, sudo shutdown -h hh:mm
[07:19] <bulmer> dWho: maybe..i dont use avahi
[07:20] <astro76> facugaich, or sudo shutdown -h numberofminutes
[07:20] <facugaich> astro76: thank you!
[07:20] <balazs> I'll try that
[07:20] <dWho> bulmer : avahi seems to conflect much... it doesn't auto detect the right connection if i use manual configuration of my nic
[07:20] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, this is also odd, I'm having aproblem a lot of the times that whenever I switch users it freezes up partially, not entirely though. Just the mouse freezes
[07:20] <astro76> facugaich, no problem, hh:mm is the time on the 24 hour clock to shutdown
[07:21] <bulmer> dWho: possibly..i have to look into that avahi still..thats why i dont use bleeding edge stuff
[07:21] <J-_> Is there a gui video converter I can use with ubuntu?
[07:21] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, i dunno about that one. i only use the one user
[07:21] <eTiger14> can someone help me get my wireless card working from a command line? I do lspci and it how's Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc AR5212 802.11abg NIC (rev 01)
[07:22] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, yeah, and okay, does it hurt to do this as root or should I do it strictly through a regular user wtih sudo?
[07:22] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, do which?
[07:22] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, does it really matter which one I use?
[07:22] <chovy_> how do I configure xorg.conf such that it will let me change my display settings.
[07:22] <Groquick> hello all, I've a problem to run a LiveUSB in persistant mode with kubuntu 7.04. Is it normal ?
[07:22] <dWho> bulmer: if u don't use avahi how do you know if you're connected to the internet? do you keep on pinging in the terminal? because without avahi everytime open my modem I used to type ping in my terminal just so I would know if my online
[07:22] <Breetai> Hey, I am running ubuntu feisty, I did an apt-get kopete, and then later an apt-get kubuntu-desktop and KDE works, but no icons, or images show up in kde programs, anyone know how to fix that?
[07:22] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, not much
[07:23] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, better to use sudo when you can
[07:23] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, okay
[07:23] <bulmer> dWho: am on dapper not feisty or the latest betas
[07:23] <dWho> bulmer : should remove avahi? what do you think?
[07:23] <Todd__> Better question....is it possible to install Ubuntu server ontop of desktop?
[07:23] <unagi> can anyone help me, i need a script to run when i log in, i set it in sessions as csh  /home/unagi/startmaya......but it wont execute when i log in......it will work if i run it in terminal or if i double click it....but session wont start it.......why
[07:24] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, yeah it seems anytime I switch users it messes up
[07:24] <Mr_Bomb> done it three times in a row now
[07:24] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, do you really need multiple users?
[07:24] <iter> unagi: not running w/the same environment variables, check that you have a path statement in script
[07:24] <dWho> bulmer : should I remove avahi? what's your advice...
[07:24] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, sounds like it might be a permissions prob
[07:24] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, I don't, but this is actually for my girlfriend and her family and they each use a user
[07:24] <unagi> what do you mean
[07:24] <ectospasm> unagi:  is it checked in Sessions
[07:24] <Fubdub> does anyone know where to get a mplayer deb file from feisty for Sparc. It doesn't seem to be in my repositories
[07:25] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, if that's the case it should be easily fixable then righ?
[07:25] <unagi> yea its checked
[07:25] <dWho> bulmer : my other linux box is also dapper with avahi
[07:25] <unagi> iter what do you mean path statement
[07:25] <bulmer> dWho: my dapper dont use avahi
[07:25] <dWho> bulmer : what do you use?
[07:25] <philthy> when a pop-up window opens in a program, it doesn't show up right away, i have to take focus away from the window and give it back for it to display (gnome with beryl)
[07:25] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, okay everything is removed
[07:25] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, yeh, assuming you know exactly what the problem is. in this case it would prolly be better for someone else to help with that one. i don't have time to figure that one out right now
[07:26] <noah>  have 6 desktops, how do i get it back to 4?
[07:26] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, not a problem, thanks for everything you've helped with so far :)
[07:26] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, ok, now try installing something else to see if everything is back to normal
[07:26] <bulmer> dWho: route, ip, dhclient..nothing of the clients of mine needs to advertize
[07:26] <noah> on beryl
[07:27] <noah> anyone here?
[07:27] <noah> im confused
[07:27] <philthy> only 1120 people
[07:27] <philthy> it's in the beryl settings
[07:27] <ectospasm> and not one bot
[07:27] <ectospasm> er, op
[07:27] <ectospasm> or op bot
[07:27] <iter> unagi: environment variable probably needs to be set for your script to run correctly, hence you have to set it in the script. the most common problem w/a script that won't run like that is the path environment variable
[07:27] <noah> where, in the settings i cant find it
[07:28] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, installing blender right now, alls good so far
[07:28] <dWho> bulmer : thanks for the help... really appreciated it... guess have to remove avahi anyway
[07:28] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, btw, i found the file you're looking for: http://drinus.net/airport/wl_apsta.o
[07:28] <iter> unagi: might try env | grep PATH >> my_scipt.sh
[07:28] <bulmer> dWho: okay
[07:28] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, ah awesome
[07:29] <philthy> noah: general options > general options > bottom of the first group
[07:29] <dWho> bulmer : what's the difference between dhcp and dhcp3?
[07:29] <arooni> what's a great music player that scans my whole computer (directories i specify and sub dirs) for music... and keeps it up to date
[07:29] <noah> thank you
[07:29] <dWho> arooni : songbird
[07:29] <buffi> how do I configure my wireless network card to work as an access point? I can only get it to connect to other networks
[07:29] <philthy> np, i dont know if that's right though, because mine says 17 :P and i only have 4
[07:29] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, http://boredklink.googlepages.com/ubuntuguide
[07:30] <philthy> dWho: is songbird stable?
[07:30] <lueho> how do you install a application if you cant do it the regular way (sudo apt-get install) ? i have the application here in *.c files
[07:30] <bulmer> dWho: i dont know of dhcp, i know of dhclient as dhcp client, dhcp3 is the name of a dhcpd server?
[07:30] <tanath> lueho, if you have the source, you need to compile it
[07:31] <philthy> lueho: the file should have a README which tells you how to compile it
[07:31] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, cool, I'll hae to check that out. I got my wireless card working last night, but now it can't connect to any networks ever since I started it up this morning. It c an detect them thouhg. So I'll have to do a bit of messing around to see what's going on
[07:31] <unagi> this is getting really annoying..............why is it that i can run a script in terminal or just double clicking but sessions wont execute it?
[07:31] <tanath> lueho, if you had a .deb file, you could install the package directly with 'sudo dpkg -i filename.deb'
[07:31] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, great, everything installed okay :D
[07:31] <lueho> tanath yes i know compile and install... can you please give me the commands.. oh and btw the readme file is not possible to open
[07:31] <Mr_Bomb> tanath, thanks so much for your help
[07:31] <Mr_Bomb> you too astro76
[07:31] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, thought so. i've been through dependency hell a couple times :D
[07:31] <thedash> when constructing an array, should it show as not all of the drives being there, like [UU_U]  or something ?
[07:31] <dWho> philty :  i think it's still in developer's preview but I don't have any problem on it.. it works great on my music....
[07:31] <tanath> Mr_Bomb, glad to help
[07:32] <dWho> bulmer : yes... it's what it says in the synaptic...
[07:32] <unagi> no one knows?
[07:32] <dWho> bulmer : and it's marked with ubuntu logo...
[07:33] <tanath> lueho, configure && make && make install
[07:33] <lueho> tanatch thanks sir
[07:33] <lueho> :D
[07:33] <bulmer> dWho: then go ahead and dis-able avahi..lest you have a need for it
[07:33] <tanath> lueho, what's the problem with the readme?
[07:33] <dWho> bulmer : im removing it now
[07:33] <m1r> hello
[07:33] <unagi> this is getting really annoying..............why is it that i can run a script in terminal or just double clicking but sessions wont execute it?
[07:33] <lueho> tanath it says the readme file is executeble
[07:33] <lueho> ??
[07:34] <tanath> lueho, what's the filename
[07:34] <Dr_willis> sessions ? what do you mean by sessions
[07:34] <unagi> system > pref > sessions
[07:34] <lueho> forget it... ill try configure -> make -> make install
[07:34] <lueho> brb
[07:34] <tanath> unagi, maybe it is, and you just can't see it
[07:34] <Dr_willis> cant say that ive ever used those.. be sure the paths are right in the script an dit starts with #!/bin/bash perhaps?
[07:35] <unagi> if it was executed maya would be open right now
[07:35] <tanath> unagi, why are you trying to run a script to run maya?
[07:35] <fuertesfj> hi
[07:35] <unagi> because i want it to load after i log in after restarting x after editing xorg
[07:35] <madh64> Hit3k, I have just installed ubuntu server 6.06.1 (LTS) on a via cv860a system. The install seemed to go fine, but when I boot the installed system it segfaults right after loading init.rd. Can anyone help?
[07:35] <fuertesfj> my name is jorge
[07:36] <tanath> unagi, i mean, why are you running _a script_ to run maya?
[07:36] <unagi> because i want it to load after i log in after restarting x after editing xorg
[07:36] <unagi> and i have to do that with a script
[07:36] <madh64> Hit3k, sorry that was meant for everyone but it autocompleted after i typed "hi"
[07:37] <tanath> unagi, you misunderstand. you've restated the purpose of my question, but you've not answered it
[07:37] <fuertesfj> I need help PLEASE!
[07:37] <unagi> ok what answer are you looking for
[07:37] <tanath> unagi, the answer to 'why?'

[07:38] <ClanFoL-FTW> DCC CHAT C:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
[07:38] <faileas> ot to mention, you didn't even say whats your problem
[07:38] <faileas> ...
[07:38] <twosouls82> =)
[07:38] <faileas> dcc exploit?
[07:39] <tanath> unagi, perhaps try this. edit the command in sessions to execute 'bash -c /path/to/script' then a terminal should pop up and run it, and you should at least be able to see any errors
[07:39] <fuertesfj> I have a resolution of 640x480 and I cant lower it
[07:39] <MinuteElectron> faileas: This time I really did select LAMP, and still no luck.
[07:39] <tanath> unagi, otherwise, it could be executing and quitting on an error without you knowing
[07:40] <faileas> :(
[07:40] <yaustar> fuertesfj: You want to lower a resolution from 640x480 to 320x240?
[07:40] <unagi> i dont understand what error there would be for starting up that isnt there when i manually execute it
[07:40] <unagi> brb
[07:40] <frojnd> hello there. Can someone gives me a list or a name for a linux game for two ?
[07:40] <twosouls82> frojnd: supertux, flobopuyo
[07:40] <MinuteElectron> Anyone here installed Ubuntu Server LAMP?
[07:40] <ectospasm> MinuteElectron:  I have
[07:40] <unagi> ok im confused.....what does bash -c do?
[07:41] <unagi> because now it worked
[07:41] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: Does it come with MySQL preinstalled?
[07:41] <fuertesfj> no
[07:41] <fuertesfj> I want to raise it
[07:41] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: Or did you have to apt-get
[07:41] <ectospasm> MinuteElectron:  what do you think the 'M' in 'LAMP' is?
[07:41] <tanath> unagi, runs bash, (basic shell). -c executes a command
[07:41] <astro76> unagi, do you have #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh in the script?
[07:41] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: I have it installed right now, but when I type mysql I just get a message about using apt-get.
[07:41] <unagi> yes
[07:41] <twosouls82> fuertesfj: have you installed the driver for your card and configured xorg.conf yet?
[07:41] <astro76> unagi, which one?
[07:42] <SkyTR> how can i remount to another location?
[07:42] <fuertesfj> I dont think so
[07:42] <ectospasm> MinuteElectron:  you selected the LAMP option?
[07:42] <nas> fuertesfj, ctrl+alt++
[07:42] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: Definitely, I even reinstalled to makr sure I did.
[07:42] <tanath> unagi, is your default shell bash, or some other?
[07:42] <twosouls82> hehehe nas
[07:42] <TheRF> I've got a problem with trying to install VIA graphics drivers.
[07:42] <tanath> unagi, some shells run things a little differently
[07:42] <ectospasm> MinuteElectron:  if you type mysql<TAB> in a shell, what comes up?
[07:42] <tanath> unagi, syntax & such
[07:42] <astro76> unagi, I bet you have it as #!/bin/sh, which uses dash, set it to #!/bin/bash and you can do it without bash -c
[07:43] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: nothing
[07:43] <ectospasm> MinuteElectron:  you must have done something wrong for the install, because when I did it, MySQL was there
[07:43] <astro76> tanath, ubuntu recently changed to dash as the default shell for sh, which sometimes causes issues
[07:43] <n30> where might i find the guide for setting up compiz on ubuntu??
[07:43] <yaustar> I have set up a mount of a second harddrive in fstab but it mounts it root rwx and owner/group rx where as I want it rwx to all, how do I fix this?
[07:43] <noah> i have 6 desktops on beryl, i cant get it back down to 4 my general options says that i have one desktop, any suggestions?
[07:43] <dWho> bulmer : what's a Address range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.5 not on net 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 error?
[07:43] <twosouls82> fuertesfj: google how to install/enable the drivers for your video card, then how to configure xorg.conf
[07:43] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: darn
[07:43] <arooni> is there a songbird package for ubuntu?
[07:43] <madh64> TheRF, are you running on a mini itx board?
[07:44] <arooni> is there a songbird package for ubuntu?  if not... i downloaded the app as a zipped dir.... where should i be putting that dir?
[07:44] <TheRF> No, its an ASRock board, with Integrated Graphics.
[07:44] <tanath> astro76, yeh, and my default is zsh, but i don't think it's caused much in the way of probs for me yet
[07:44] <yaustar> arooni, check the readme
[07:44] <fuertesfj> is there any way i could have a privet chat with some one please I dont know how this works this is the first time here and Im completly lost
[07:44] <tanath> fuertesfj, you type: /msg username message
[07:45] <madh64> TheRF, i can't help, i can't get ubuntu to boot on my via mini itx board
[07:45] <gce> using lvm trying to create a 1TB volume group name vg0 but when using vgcreate -M2 -s 128M vg01 /dev/sda1   I get a volume group with VG Size 280.25GB. how to get vg size to be 1TB ?
[07:45] <astro76> tanath, your sh is still linked to dash, otherwise system startup scripts wouldn't work
[07:45] <ectospasm> MinuteElectron:  I dunno... it's been several months since I installed it, maybe I did have to install MySQL separately, but that doesn't seem right
[07:45] <tanath> fuertesfj, for some reason some places consider it rude to do it without asking first though
[07:45] <arooni> yaustar, sorry i wanted to add second part of questinos
[07:45] <tanath> astro76, hrm. i suppose so
[07:45] <nas> fuertesfj, ya dont msg people they will get pissed
[07:45] <astro76> tanath, ls -l /bin/sh
[07:45] <twosouls82> first ask if someone minds
[07:46] <tanath> astro76, yeh, already checked
[07:46] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: What I thought.
[07:46] <tanath> astro76, actually used file, but meh
[07:46] <TheRF> madh64 - you got the required files from VIAArena site?
[07:46] <Mr_Bomb> would anyone have a clue as to why my ubuntu freezes anytime I try and swtich users? I logout and then soon as the login window comes up my mouse if frozen in the center of the screen. But, I can still switch over to the console and use keyboard navigation
[07:46] <lueho> do you use ./configure to compile?
[07:46] <astro76> tanath, ah nice
[07:46] <tobi_> moin
[07:46] <DumberDrummer> so anyone have a guess as to why I can change resolutions with vesa, but not with nvidia?
[07:47] <ectospasm> MinuteElectron:  I believe you're not installing LAMP right.  That's my diagnosis of it
[07:47] <bulmer> dWho: i think the error is more toward that 72.x.x.x and not the 192.168.0.x range
[07:47] <Avielus> i installed Compiz, and now i can't use the shortcuts to switch workspaces (Ctrl-alt left, down, right, etc.) Why?
[07:47] <Jack_Sparrow> DumberDrummer: HOw did you install the nvidia drivers
[07:47] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: I will try again.
[07:47] <MinuteElectron> For the third time.
[07:47] <madh64> TheRF, I just installed ubuntu server 6.06.1 (LTS), and it won't boot past loading init.rd right after grub. I get a segfault. I think that's before the viaarena files would help?
[07:47] <lueho> !configure
[07:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about configure - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:47] <tanath> DumberDrummer, my guess would be that when you set it to nvidia, it uses neither nvidia, nor vesa
[07:47] <ectospasm> MinuteElectron:  if you gimme a bit, I can try installing it on a VM...
[07:48] <godsyn> help : CLI system converting from NT2k to ubuntu server... been running ubuntu for 1 year and realized that I had all the old crap from 2k on other partitions.. Easy way to fix? (all data on 2k was backed up)
[07:48] <DumberDrummer> Jack_Sparrow: used the restricted drivers manager
[07:48] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: Naa, dw.
[07:48] <yaustar> !chmod
[07:48] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[07:48] <tanath> Avielus, compiz requires gnome be set to one desktop, and you use virtual desktops within compiz to rotate the cube and such
[07:48] <bulmer> godsyn: you can read those files ?
[07:48] <DumberDrummer> tanath: and how would I check/correct this?
[07:49] <godsyn> bul : yes, ntfs.
[07:49] <TheRF> madh64, I see what you mean now as the files would only help get the better resolution etc...
[07:49] <Avielus> K, so all I have to do is set it to 1 desktop?
[07:49] <arooni> how can i add an etnry to the applicaitons menu... i installed soundbird... but there doesn't seem to be a package for it... so i have the app sitting in ~
[07:49] <bulmer> godsyn: what is there to fix?
[07:49] <yaustar> Does chmod work with folders?
[07:49] <ectospasm> MinuteElectron:  I'm d/ling the iso now
[07:49] <eTiger14> what is dmesg?
[07:49] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: kl, thanks
[07:49] <ectospasm> for some reason the Ubuntu mirror I chose is slow
[07:49] <TheRF> I'm using Ubuntu 7.04
[07:49] <godsyn> bulmer : i'd like to know of an easy way to format said partition, and use it to extend my linux partition.
[07:50] <ectospasm> may take 20min to download
[07:50] <shearn89> yaustar: yes, although what do you need to change?
[07:50] <ectospasm> godsyn:  did you install LVM
[07:50] <ectospasm> ?
[07:50] <shearn89> !dmesg | eTiger14
[07:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dmesg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:50] <dWho> bulmer : i changed the config into this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/33485/ and im using dhcpd now not dhcpd3
[07:50] <lueho> okey peeps i gots some majour issues here. i use ./configre and it does not work i try make and make file does not work either
[07:50] <tanath> DumberDrummer, try right clicking on a panel, and add workspace switcher. make sure there's only 1. then use compiz config to make sure there's 4 virtual desktops for rotating the cube
[07:50] <bulmer> godsyn: yeah you can easily do that
[07:50] <yaustar> shearn: A folder and all folders/files below in the file heiracy
[07:50] <godsyn> remote@synserv:~$ lvm
[07:50] <godsyn> -bash: lvm: command not found
[07:50] <godsyn> i'm assuming aptitude?
[07:50] <shearn89> eTiger14: dmesg is a log that the system creates to do with hardware being plugged in etc...
[07:50] <shearn89> i think
[07:50] <DumberDrummer> tanath: wrong person, methinks
[07:50] <godsyn> crap srry for 3 line flood
[07:51] <bulmer> dWho: okay..try it
[07:51] <shearn89> lueho: have you got the stuff installed?
[07:51] <tanath> DumberDrummer, er, yeh
[07:51] <lueho> shearn89 trying to install a app here
[07:51] <lueho> its all in *.c files though
[07:51] <dWho> bulmer : same error
[07:51] <lueho> i need to compile the stuff
[07:51] <lueho> or the code
[07:51] <shearn89> lueho: try install the g++ compiler.

[07:51] <lueho> k
[07:52] <tanath> Avielus, , try right clicking on a panel, and add workspace switcher. make sure there's only 1. then use compiz config to make sure there's 4 virtual desktops for rotating the cube

[07:52] <dWho> bulmer : ye
[07:52] <dWho> bulmer : yes
[07:52] <lueho> i did sudo apt-get install c++ and gots nothing
[07:52] <twosouls82> xflatlinex: I use vmware
[07:52] <shearn89> lueho: i think its g++.
[07:52] <lueho> oi okey
[07:52] <arooni> how can i add an etnry to the applicaitons menu... i installed soundbird... but there doesn't seem to be a package for it... so i have the app sitting in ~
[07:53] <shearn89> lueho: i'm sure thats the one i used....
[07:53] <SkyTR> err when i try "sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /media/ipod" I get an error message that "mount point /media/ipod does not exist".... any ideas?
[07:53] <bulmer> dWho: routers is .1 and subnet is also .1?
[07:53] <asdf> Can anyone recommend a screencasting application that can record screencasts of Compiz Fusion?
[07:53] <lueho> shearn ok this one works :)
[07:53] <twosouls82> SkyTR: sudo mkdir /media/ipod
[07:53] <shearn89> lueho: nice...
[07:53] <DumberDrummer> lueho: gcc
[07:53] <SkyTR> ah ok
[07:53] <lueho> shearn what i do after this though?
[07:53] <SkyTR> ty
[07:53] <twosouls82> np
[07:54] <lueho> i have one conf.c file and one configure.in file
[07:54] <yaustar> shearn89: I typed: sudo chmod 777 * and it didn't work...
[07:54] <shearn89> lueho: i'm just looking for the command.
[07:54] <lueho> ok
[07:54] <bulmer> dWho: routers is .1 and subnet is also .1?
[07:54] <shearn89> yaustar: what happened? error?
[07:54] <dWho> bulmer : im not familiar with it so what should I do? i mean do you have any suggestion on what should I put there?
[07:54] <yaustar> shearn89: Bear in mind that the folder is actually a mounted drive from fstab
[07:54] <DumberDrummer> lueho: to compile is ./configure
[07:54] <yaustar> No error
[07:54] <DumberDrummer> lueho: then make and then sudo make install
[07:54] <lueho>  asdf ./configure file ?
[07:54] <niobos> I'm trying to recompile busybox with some different applets; but don't know how to do that; anyone with some experience?
[07:54] <SkyTR> is there a way i can make my ipod auto mount to that directory?
[07:55] <lueho> or ./conf.c ?
[07:55] <asdf> lueho: that would be fine
[07:55] <shearn89> yaustar: ahh... not sure how to do that.
[07:55] <SkyTR> it seems to want to go to anther mount
[07:55] <DumberDrummer> there should be a file called configure
[07:55] <yaustar> I have set up a mount of a second harddrive in fstab but it mounts it root rwx and owner/group rx where as I want it rwx to all, how do I fix this?
[07:55] <DumberDrummer> to run it, just do ./configure
[07:55] <lueho> i only have conf.c and configure.in
[07:55] <twosouls82> SkyTR: what do you mean?
[07:55] <DumberDrummer> hrm
[07:55] <SkyTR> when i plug it in
[07:55] <fuertesfj> Does anyone know how I cant set my resolution for Ubuntu because in the resolution setting I don't get a drop menu I only have one option of 640x480 and Id like to raise it to a higher option Im new in this so please if there's someone out there that could please have a privet chat with me Id be extremely greatfull   THANKS
[07:55] <SkyTR> it automatically mounts to /media/ipodname
[07:55] <twosouls82> SkyTR: when you plug it in it is hotplugged
[07:55] <bulmer> dWho: umm for the subnet 192.168.0.1 and option routers 192.168.0.1;  <-- routers should be diff
[07:56] <twosouls82> SkyTR: is that a problem?
[07:56] <mh_le> iin wich directory does mysql have it's data?
[07:56] <niobos> fuertesfj: I'm no expert on Ubuntu, but it shoud be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:56] <dWho> bulmer : should I use 192.168.0.0 for subnet ?
[07:56] <SkyTR> i need it to go to /media/ipod
[07:56] <SkyTR> not a big problem
[07:56] <twosouls82> SkyTR: if it is, you can use the udev device name and fstab to fix it (google)
[07:56] <SkyTR> ok
[07:56] <SkyTR> thanks
[07:56] <bulmer> dWho: yes
[07:57] <Jack_Sparrow> fuertesfj: Post your xorg.conf to the pastebin so we can see what hardware has been detected..  How did you install the video drivers?
[07:57] <twosouls82> SkyTR: or you can even make a symlink (ln -s /media/IPODNAME /media/ipod)
[07:57] <niobos> I need to recompile busybox with some extra applets; can anyone give me some guidance?
[07:57] <twosouls82> I would go for the first option I gave
[07:57] <genefitz> fuertesfj, you can gedit your xorg, there is also a command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg that should help you do it graphically
[07:57] <shearn89> lueho: if its still needed, i think "g++ -o <outputfilename> <C file> would work to compile it.
[07:57] <lueho> k
[07:57] <SkyTR> k

[07:58] <fuertesfj> Jack_Sparrow- I dont know what Im doing I dont know what that is please give me steps
[07:58] <genefitz> fuertesfj see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

[07:58] <asdf> Can anyone recommend a screencasting application that can record screencasts of Compiz Fusion?
[07:59] <twosouls82> weston: easy: look for the upure64 repository
[07:59] <shearn89> asdf: check out "recordmydesktop".
[07:59] <niobos> asdf: I don't have the answer, but it won't be easy, since the complete Compiz image is only redered in the video card itself; so you need a way to get in back out...
[07:59] <shearn89> asdf: not sure its in the repos though...
[07:59] <twosouls82> weston: also automatix2 has some nice features for amd64
[07:59] <weston> twosouls82, where ould tht be located?

[08:03] <BCMM> Is installing MP3 support and all that easier in 7.04?
[08:03] <weston> k thanks
[08:03] <twosouls82> as the others thought it was too unsafe
[08:03] <shearn89> BCMM: about the same. I didn't notice a difference...
[08:03] <arooni> yaustar, ;p... i thought i could just sudo apt-get install
[08:03] <Jack_Sparrow> BCMM: It wasnt that hard in Dapper or edgy...
[08:04] <genefitz> BCMM, you can find the packages in Synaptics.
[08:04] <TheRF> MP3 support? I just installed VLC and it plays MP3s, if that's what you mean.
[08:04] <godsyn> help umount
[08:04] <yaustar> arooni: The app is still in development
[08:04] <godsyn> !umount
[08:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about umount - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:04] <BCMM> oh... i had heard something like there was now a single thing to set somewhere for people in countries without software patents
[08:04] <godsyn> bah
[08:04] <effie_jayx> can you guys name a dock that does not use composite?????
[08:04] <yaustar> arooni: There is no official release of it
[08:04] <TooR4u> Hee .. any one suggest me how to recover the deleted files in Linux ??
[08:04] <shearn89> effie_jayx: XFCE-Panel, pypanel, perlpanel
[08:05] <shearn89> effie_jayx: i think...
[08:05] <fyrestrtr> TooR4u: ~/.Trash
[08:05] <genefitz> BCMM, you can get the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[08:05] <BCMM> genefitz: thanks
[08:05] <shearn89> TooR4U: unless you did "rm <file>" in terminal.
[08:05] <genefitz> No problem friend
[08:05] <BCMM> it's just the same for kubuntu. right?
[08:05] <genefitz> BCMM, should work the same..
[08:06] <dWho> bulmer : no more error but startin dhcp server failed :D
[08:06] <genefitz> <~~ KDE user too
[08:06] <TooR4u> fyrestrtr, loolll
[08:06] <TooR4u> I have shift+del that
[08:06] <arooni> yaustar, i already have it downloaded.. & just wanted to add it to the applicaitons menu... is there a way of doing that/
[08:06] <niobos> TooR4u: shift-del is the same as rm
[08:06] <bulmer> dWho: read that file then  /var/log/dh* or you can also start dhcpd with more verbose debug mode
[08:06] <fyrestrtr> TooR4u: now would be the time to get those backups.
[08:07] <yaustar> arooni, did you read the links given ? One has an install script, the other shows the google list on how to install it
[08:07] <niobos> TooR4u: or if you REALY have a LOT of time, you could start debugging the filesystem
[08:07] <fyrestrtr> niobos: that wouldn't get him anywhere.
[08:07] <TooR4u> niobos, how to recover the deleted data?
[08:07] <niobos> fyrestrtr: well.. he could find some recently-deleted inodes
[08:08] <stuart_> aw man i can't umount my flash card because it says an application is using it, but all applications are closed!
[08:08] <niobos> TooR4u: short answer: you don't
[08:08] <TooR4u> :p
[08:08] <nas> TooR4u, what filesystem?
[08:08] <niobos> TooR4u: long answer: the data is still on the disk, but you'll have to find out where
[08:08] <fyrestrtr> niobos: the man is in here asking how to undelete stuff, do you really think he knows about inodes?
[08:08] <BCMM> genefitz: ah right i think the single "Ubuntu restricted extras" package is what i  was thinking of
[08:08] <nas> if its ext3 your pretty much fscked
[08:08] <Jack_Sparrow> stuart-: DOnt remove it unless you power down or find what is using it..
[08:08] <niobos> fyrestrtr: no, I don't; hence the lot-of-time requirement
[08:08] <BCMM> 7.04 is hte release which finally supports Compiz on nVidia, right?
[08:09] <nas> ext2 you should be able to get it
[08:09] <stuart-> Jack_Sparrow, how do i find?
[08:09] <TooR4u> nas, FAT32
[08:09] <nas> oh
[08:09] <niobos> TooR4u: if it's FAT32, you could try some of the windows-tools
[08:09] <nas> should be some programs out there for that
[08:10] <Jack_Sparrow> stuart-: You can go through shutting down processes ... I just powered down when it happened to me...
[08:10] <effie_jayx> thanks shearn89
[08:10] <effie_jayx> :D
[08:10] <TooR4u> niobos, first how to mount the linux partitions in windows?
[08:10] <fuertesfj> Ok I am so new this that Ive got this Ubuntu thing yesterday and I have no Idea of Im doing or about to do I need help with the resolution setting I dont get a drop down menu on the resolution, could you please help me in a privet chat if ur not too busy thank you very much
[08:10] <niobos> TooR4u: you just said it was FAT32, so that should be no problem
[08:10] <TooR4u> niobos, u know how to mount the linux partitions in windows?
[08:11] <astro76> BCMM, depends how you define support... not really, it's in as a "technology preview", 7.10 will be the first release to support it by default
[08:11] <shearn89> effie_jayx: what distro are you using? if you want total non-composite and lightweight, try openbox, although its not totally newb-friendly. Actually, its scary as hell to start with!
[08:11] <shearn89> !resolution > shearn89
[08:11] <niobos> TooR4u: if it's FAT32 it should be mounted automatically to the next free drive-letter
[08:11] <TooR4u> niobos, good joke

[08:12] <genefitz> BCMM, the page I sent you should walk you through the install of the bad and ugly codecs. It should allow you to play MP3s and such
[08:12] <BCMM> genefitz: thanks
[08:12] <niobos> TooR4u: no joke
[08:12] <BCMM> i don't think there is anything non-free about playing mp3 in the UK
[08:12] <genefitz> BCMM, if not, you may try this page http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~djm/ubuntu/#multimedia
[08:12] <TheRF> When you have a list of options which are numbered and it asks you to choose one, do you type in the number or the written option?
[08:12] <twosouls82> niobos: than you must be using wubbi
[08:12] <twosouls82> =)
[08:12] <genefitz> BCMM, the second page also has some really good tools.
[08:13] <BCMM> is there any reason i would want to install from DVD not CD, if i have a net connection?
[08:13] <BCMM> genefitz: thanks...
[08:13] <BCMM> at least this time i know not to use automatix or anything
[08:13] <genefitz> BCMM, if you have high speed, you shouldn't have to use anything but the live (netinstall) disk..
[08:13] <jrib> monsoco, blink0: please join me in #ubuntu-ops for a minute
[08:13] <TheRF> BCMM: in case the net doesn't work
[08:13] <genefitz> If you are on no internet or on a slow connection, having the DVD makes it nice..
[08:14] <BCMM> genefitz: thanks
[08:14] <niobos> Can anyone give me some guidance in a custom recompile of busybox? need to add some applets
[08:14] <genefitz> I keep both the netinstall and DVD for my distro..
[08:15] <BCMM> hmmm... there is both 32 and 64 bit...
[08:15] <Pelo> niobos, you might need to look for a busybox channel
[08:15] <genefitz> BCMM, what TheRF said was correct, many times people have issues with their ethernet after install. (becoming more rare with each distro) but it never hurts to have the DVD for that instance..
[08:15] <BCMM> does one lose a significant amount of performance if one installs the i386 version on an AMD64 system?
[08:15] <IndyGunFreak> BCMM: unless you're prepared to deal with a lot of hoop jumping, use i386
[08:15] <niobos> Pelo: well, busybox is no problem; it's how to do it 'the ubuntu way'
[08:15] <BCMM> genefitz: nvidia ethernet is widely supported right?
[08:15] <dWho> bulmer : dhcp ok
[08:15] <mcp_> Hello. I start another X-Server, but have troube running an Application there.
[08:16] <BCMM> IndyGunFreak: ah ok thanks
[08:16] <mcp_> X-Server reports   AUDIT: Sun Aug 12 20:08:01 2007: 6751 X: client 1 rejected from local host (uid 0)
[08:16] <genefitz> BCMM, it depends on your computer. I have a bit PC, but use 32 bit Linux because of some plugin issues..
[08:16] <BCMM> IndyGunFreak: that's what i do on my own Intel Core 2
[08:16] <genefitz> BCMM, Ubuntu is pretty good with most ethernet cards,
[08:16] <Pelo> niobos, in the forum maybe then , it's full of usefull stuff, among the crap
[08:16] <TheRF> Because I had problems with the ethernet until I done something and it started working.
[08:16] <TheRF> So I was lucky to have the DVD.
[08:16] <IndyGunFreak> BCMM: 64bit ubuntu just isn't quite ready yet IMO.. i've got a 64bit PC, but will be 32bit for the forseeable future.
[08:16] <Pelo>  mcp   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start ? maybe
[08:16] <genefitz> iips, I have a 64 bit pc even
[08:16] <IndyGunFreak> web plugins are just to big a PITA
[08:17] <BCMM> genefitz: it needed a driving in XP,  but then again i find more stuff needs extra drivers in XP than in Linux these days
[08:17] <IndyGunFreak> BCMM: what kind of PC are you putting linux on?
[08:17] <TheRF> I just tried the written option, and it seems it has worked.
[08:17] <BCMM> IndyGunFreak: that's what i thought, but i had some vague idea that some 64bit cores execute 32bit slowly
[08:17] <niobos> Pelo: I found how to recompile-the-ubuntu-way; but I didn't find how to recompile-with-customization-the-ubuntu-way
[08:17] <BCMM> IndyGunFreak: amd athlon64
[08:17] <TheRF> Let's hope I can get the drivers to install.
[08:17] <genefitz> BCMM, in XP you may have needed drivers for it, however, when you think about it, Ubuntu has a new distro nearly every 8 months or so..
[08:17] <IndyGunFreak> BCMM: ok.
[08:17] <BCMM> IndyGunFreak: it's not mine so i don't know all the specs
[08:18] <IndyGunFreak> ic
[08:18] <BCMM> IndyGunFreak: i use Gentoo on mine cause i'm a geek...
[08:18] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: Sorry to disapoint, but I fixed the problem.
[08:18] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[08:18] <genefitz> Beauty being that more devices are suppoerted each distro..
[08:18] <MinuteElectron> You had to type a command after you had installed Ubuntu - I found it in the docks.
[08:18] <genefitz> I have an nForce 430 board and have had no issues ethernet wise..
[08:18] <MinuteElectron> s/docks/docs
[08:18] <ectospasm> MinuteElectron:  how so?
[08:18] <Pelo> niobos, well you are half way there,  maybe you just need something on how to customize busybox ... ( you do realise I have know idea what I am talking about right ?)
[08:18] <BCMM> oh great, there is a mirror ~3 miles from here
[08:18] <ectospasm> MinuteElectron:  OK
[08:18] <genefitz> At least not with Ubuntu..
[08:19] <dWho> bulmer : where do i put my solutions?
[08:19] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[08:19] <genefitz> BCMM, is this your first time using Ubuntu?
[08:19] <MinuteElectron> ectospasm: You must have used 6.xx
[08:19] <ectospasm> MinuteElectron:  I believe so
[08:19] <ectospasm> but it wasn't LTS
[08:19] <niobos> Pelo: I know how to customize busybox, but the recommended command (dpkg-buildpackage) ruins my config
[08:19] <BCMM> genefitz: no but i don't have too much experience with it
[08:19] <BCMM> genefitz: i know Gentoo though
[08:19] <BCMM> genefitz: and debian a bit
[08:19] <nas> i just installed ubuntu today
[08:19] <genefitz> BCMM, at first you may find a little frustration, but stick with it, when you get into it, it is hard to get out :-)
[08:19] <BCMM> genefitz: anything really likely to jump out and suprise me?
[08:19] <Grungebunny> nas hi5
[08:19] <Pelo> niobos,  can you use  dpkg-reconfigure ?
[08:20] <GCmdr_Wolv_Fetla> I just upgraded to 7.04, is the desktop cube thing still possible?
[08:20] <nas> i come from slack and debian
[08:20] <niobos> Pelo: don't know, I'll try
[08:20] <genefitz> BCMM, if you are a Debian user, this should be a walk in the park..
[08:20] <bulmer> dWho what?
[08:20] <BCMM> genefitz: heh, i'm not switching, i'm installing Ubuntu for someone else who isn't nerdy enough for Gentoo
[08:20] <IndyGunFreak> nas: then you probably won't have much trouble.
[08:20] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu is dumbed down compared to those two.
[08:20] <nas> debian would not recognize both cores on my proc even after recompiling the kernel like 100 times
[08:21] <genefitz> BCMM, okay, just make sure you tell them to check out the Ubuntu forums and when to search for a solution mark "howto" before their issue.
[08:21] <nas> tried every single kernel debian offered none of them would recognize it
[08:21] <BCMM> nas: just get a Ubuntu .config, see what it says about smp, and compile with that?
[08:21] <nas> i installed ubuntu and like magic everything works
[08:21] <genefitz> They should be able to figure it out quickly..
[08:21] <Durmant> Hello all
[08:21] <niobos> Pelo: reconfigure could work, but the busybox package doesn't use it
[08:21] <nas> BCMM, ya i already got rid of debian
[08:22] <poweruser1> Hello n_n;;
[08:22] <nas> i tried a slack config with it though didnt work either
[08:22] <poweruser1> I'm a ubuntu noob.
[08:22] <poweruser1> and. my brother converted me. ._.
[08:22] <genefitz> BCMM, I am not actually a Ubuntu user, I am using Fedora. But I have Used ubuntu for a long time (I call it my gateway drug) ;-)
[08:22] <Pelo> niobos, was worth a shot,  did you try man dpkg see what other options might be avaliable taht might suit your purpose ?
[08:22] <TheRF> Looks like I'll have to read the forums a lot then! I'm a ubuntu noob as well! :)
[08:22] <i-hate-myself> hello all
[08:22] <niobos> Pelo: I did; but didn't find what I need
[08:22] <Pelo> poweruser1, welcome to the madhouse
[08:22] <twosouls82> goodie, packages.ubuntu.com got online again folks
[08:22] <BCMM> genefitz: hehe
[08:22] <poweruser1> I was wondering if you guys could help me find a program to run windows stuff?
[08:22] <i-hate-myself> whyy cant i request cds now? everytime the request is not being aproved
[08:23] <IndyGunFreak> i-hate-myself: why don't yuou just download them?
[08:23] <BCMM> genefitz: how is Fedora these days? I tried it before installing Gentoo, but it was pretty bad cause it was an early version.
[08:23] <Pelo> niobos, wouldn'T costomizing busybox after it has been installed the ubuntu way just replace the files that are needed and allow it to run customised-on-ubuntu ?
[08:23] <pearlbear> IndyGunFreak: some people don't have broadband
[08:23] <tommy15> Please go to www.mail35.de
[08:23] <Durmant> So ya.....im a first time linux user.....got Ubuntu installed on my laptop and it worked great.....went and enabled the the graphical extras, it told me to reboot....when I did now when It finishes booting I get a white screen of nothing :-/
[08:23] <i-hate-myself> lol.i have downloaded all versions
[08:23] <nas> poweruser1, wine
[08:23] <tommy15> Please go to www.mail35.de
[08:23] <IndyGunFreak> pearlbear: true.
[08:24] <i-hate-myself> but i wud like to get one cd wif the stickers :/
[08:24] <ectospasm> Ubuntu holds your hand a lot more than traditional distros...
[08:24] <TheRF> poweruser1 - As far as I understand, there is something called Wine which allows to some extent to run windows programs
[08:24] <Pelo> !wine | poweruser1 check your private message windows for a message from ubot3
[08:24] <ubotu> poweruser1 check your private message windows for a message from ubot3: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[08:24] <genefitz> BCMM, Fedora 7 is really nice now. With Yum and the standard RPM system, I use it because installing other programs is a breeze..
[08:24] <IndyGunFreak> i-hate-myself: so whats the problems with the ones you downloaded?
[08:24] <poweruser1> thank you <3
[08:24] <IndyGunFreak> lol, stickers?.. you're stressing yourself out over that
[08:24] <twosouls82> i-hate-myself: take a logo to the print shop ;)
[08:24] <niobos> Pelo: Well... no; since I need to tell the busybox installer to include an extra program that is not installed (or compiled) by default
[08:24] <tommy15> Please go to www.mail35.de
[08:24] <pearlbear> tommy15: why?
[08:24] <genefitz> I can do a install much like Debian (yum install) or just download the RPM, double click and let it go
[08:24] <niobos> Pelo: So I just need a way to make a .deb file of a custom package
[08:24] <i-hate-myself> loll not a bad idea twosouls82
[08:25] <twosouls82> i-hate-myself: I have a tshirt =)

[08:27] <Bowmessage> Ok, I'll need some help here :] . I've installed Fedora sucessfully, using half of my F (second) Hard drive. And Fedora is the default boot for the hard drives... Do i have to turn off my second hard drive every time i want to use Windows? Oh, by the way, C is my first (windows) drive.

[08:28] <bulmer> usage of ipmasq?  is it a front end for iptables?
[08:28] <r0bby> whoa 394 bans.
[08:28] <Durmant> So how do I revert back to this Vesa driver
[08:28] <bulmer> Pelo fakeroot i thought..but I have not built a deb package yet
[08:29] <nas> Pelo, are you talking about compiling the kernel?
[08:29] <Pelo> nas no just a basic app
[08:29] <genefitz> Durmant, a couple ways you can do it, you can edit the xorg from command line, or you can do what I would usually do, sincew you apparently just set it up, re-start from scratch..
[08:29] <genefitz> Editing, you just use the Vesa driver.
[08:29] <Durmant> hmmmm
[08:29] <RatX> Vesa?  Old skool!
[08:29] <genefitz> In the end, you have to deal without the eye candy either way
[08:29] <ubuntu_> Hola
[08:29] <Durmant> thats no fun lol
[08:30] <ZAKhan> how do I install xgl for ATI card?
[08:30] <[Sky] Man> hi
[08:30] <Durmant> then I dont learn anything bescides not to enable to pretty graphic stuff :-p
[08:30] <nas> Durmant, how did you install the nvidia driver?
[08:30] <genefitz> Durmant, it isn't bad, takes me like 20 minutes to fresh install Ubuntu
[08:30] <KurtKraut> ZAKhan, there is a wiki for that... let me checl
[08:30] <Fubdub> hey, does anyone know why mplayer doesn't seem to be in my repositories?
[08:31] <Durmant> I just went to the system pref and the graphics(not what it says but closest I can think of) and enabled the extra stuff....it did the rest for me
[08:31] <genefitz> Durmant, Linux is much more than the 3-d desktop, it is the opensource programs that I get into.. Not to mention, not being a drive hog or any of that...lol
[08:31] <r0bby> Fubdub: it's in multiverse
[08:31] <Durmant> Right
[08:31] <nas> Durmant, ok here is what you do
[08:31] <genefitz> Not to mention, free as in free beer!
[08:31] <ZAKhan> KurtKraut, i installed ATI driver from ENVY and then compix .. it gives me an error "Fatal: Failed test: texture_from_pixmap support"
[08:31] <KurtKraut> ZAKhan, 150.164.101.115
[08:31] <KurtKraut> ooops
[08:32] <r0bby> Fubdub: do you have that included in your sources.list?
[08:32] <nas> Durmant, go to www.nvidia.com and download the driver
[08:32] <KurtKraut> ZAKhan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl
[08:32] <nas> Durmant, killall gdm
[08:32] <KurtKraut> ZAKhan, are you using Feisty ?
[08:32] <ZAKhan> KurtKraut, yes
[08:32] <fuertesfj> Hi my name is Jorge and Im having problems with my resolution due to the fact that in my resolution drop down menu I only have one option and its 640x480 I need help Im new in this I just got ubuntu yesterday
[08:32] <grndslm> Pelo:  checkinstall does it in place of make install
[08:32] <nas> ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic /usr/src/linux
[08:32] <nas> run the installer
[08:33] <Fubdub> r0bby, I have  deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ feisty-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[08:33] <Pelo> niobos,  read what grndslm just said,
[08:33] <twosouls82> fuertesfj: what video card?
[08:33] <fuertesfj> If any is not that busy and could give me a privet chat Id be a very greatfull camper
[08:33] <nas> tell it to compile the driver and run the config for you
[08:33] <nas> than run gdm
[08:33] <Pelo> thanks grndslm  that,s what I was looking for
[08:33] <Durmant> ok
[08:33] <nas> if all goes well it should work
[08:33] <fuertesfj> twosouls82: I have no Idea
[08:33] <niobos> Pelo: thx
[08:33] <twosouls82> fuertesfj: get on pm
[08:33] <Fubdub> r0bby, as far as I can tell that should work, it might be worth noting that I'm using the Sparc version, but as far as I can tell it should be there
[08:33] <niobos> Pelo: I'll try some make options
[08:33] <fuertesfj> twosouls82: whats that
[08:34] <KurtKraut> ZAKhan, do not use envy... if you use the default ATI driver, installed by the Restricted Drivers Manager Xgl will work with the instructions I gave you.
[08:34] <Pelo> niobos,  this is when you build from souce, instead of make install
[08:34] <Durmant> alright.....and second....point me to a good site to learn more about basic command and things of that nature
[08:34] <AndyGraybeal> i have a quick question, I have gotten used to the YAST program in openSuse for playing with hardware configurations.  is there something similiar for ubuntu, something that is graphical and i can configure hardware settings?
[08:34] <genefitz> Fuertesfj, try this command in terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:34] <Durmant> If you have any in mind
[08:34] <twosouls82> fuertesfj: you're allowed to private message me, so we don't flood the room
[08:34] <genefitz> Fuertesfj, leave everything alone until you get to video card, monitor and resolution
[08:34] <grndslm> niobos:  if you're trying to create .deb package from source.... do ./configure && make && checkinstall (obviously after installing checkinstall from the repos)
[08:34] <poningru> AndyGraybeal: what hardware settings did you have in mind?
[08:35] <dayvid> JOIN ##java
[08:35] <ZAKhan> KurtKraut, do i have to install xgl in order for compiz to work?
[08:35] <niobos> grndslm: So that is basically what dpkg-buildpackage does, then?
[08:35] <Pelo> dayvid, why would we do that ? java sucks
[08:35] <grndslm> never used dpkg-buildpackage, so couldn't tell ya
[08:35] <AndyGraybeal> poncho1, well.. i've had problems with my video/monitor settings.. i realize that editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf should handle it.. but it's rough!
[08:35] <poningru> ZAKhan: no dude just go to system->desktop effects and turn it on
[08:35] <genefitz> I allways used the confugure, make, and make install commands..
[08:35] <poningru> that will install it automatically
[08:36] <genefitz> That may be a little too much for many thoug
[08:36] <nas> AndrewB, what problems?
[08:36] <KleRoi> hello, can anyone tell me what ports does Gaim uses?
[08:36] <poningru> KleRoi: depends on the service
[08:36] <Pelo> KleRoi, the ppl in #gaim probabaly can
[08:36] <neozen> which ever ones you configure
[08:36] <KleRoi> poningru: for msn
[08:36] <nas> this channel is so busy
[08:36] <poningru> KleRoi: hmm not sure
[08:36] <Durmant> yes
[08:36] <grndslm> poningru & genefitz:  the thing is if you automatically let make install do the work for you, dpkg loses those files and can't easily uninstall them for you
[08:36] <KleRoi> thanks for the chan Pelo
[08:36] <poningru> ask in #gaim
[08:36] <nas> i cant keep up with it all
[08:36] <KleRoi> yeah ill do that thanks

[08:42] <bulmer> grndslm: you are confusing the init scripts and whats an installed applications  -- check-install or its equivalent is for putting scripts in the right places so it starts at boot

[08:42] <fuertesfj> I dont know how could I find out
[08:42] <genefitz> BCMM, to use ntfs-3g, you should be able to install it via the add/remove (note sometimes, it won't mount and says to boot windows twice) in tat case boot windows and run disk check.
[08:42] <nas> fuertesfj, you need to open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in your facorite text editor

[08:44] <Afzal> ive done that...its already connecting to the lan..its the pptp thing thats not going well

[08:45] <Cypher659> live disk*
[08:45] <lufis> [Sky] Man: ah, well, use a deb to install it (you can generate one during compilation) so that it's easily removable, etc... it will automagically be added to grub where you can choose the old kernel if the new one malfunctions

[08:46] <genefitz> No problem Wolfwalker

[08:46] <fuertesfj> nas: I dont know what Im doing I found the file but I dont know what to change or how to change it
[08:46] <lufis> [Sky] Man: is it a patch or a configuration option?
[08:47] <nojoints> I have 1 dependency needed to be upgraded and one needs to be installed, but it wont work
[08:47] <genefitz> BCMM, you can't mount a disk if the program sees an error, after you run checkdisk, you run configure NTFS and whould mount without problems..
[08:47] <nas> fuertesfj, gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:47] <genefitz> Linux can't fix NTFS disks, windows can
[08:47] <bulmer> [Sky] Man: you can also select which kernel to boot..selection can be had at the grub prompt during boot
[08:47] <[Sky] Man> lufis: config option

[08:49] <d4rkmonkey> Alloosh, not really, tab completion helps though, I never type more than 3 letters of someone's name, I just use tab to fill in the rest.
[08:49] <lufis> LGM^_: the option is in /boot/grub/menu.lst

[08:50] <Cypher659> ok
[08:50] <fuertesfj> TheRF: but Im new at this I have no Idea of what Im doing

[08:50] <nas> fuertesfj, go ahead and send it to me
[08:50] <nojoints> how do i remove things that didn't work from /var/lib/dpkg/ ??? I've removed all compiz effects from the synaptic packages

[08:50] <Pelo> TheRF, welcome to the madhouse
[08:51] <TheRF> Thanks Pelo!
[08:51] <[Sky] Man> anyway, i think ill leave upgrading the kernel for now
[08:51] <lufis> nojoints: what do you want to do exactly?
[08:51] <Pelo> nojoints, sudo rm file , or in gui   gksu nautilus /var/libs/dpkg
[08:51] <lufis> [Sky] Man: good luck
[08:51] <[Sky] Man> after getting into confiz-fusion i think im going to look into buying a faster box
[08:51] <[Sky] Man> hehe
[08:52] <LGM^_> ok looking for it
[08:52] <bulmer> usage of ipmasq?  is it a front end for iptables?  no other way to have NAT without iptables?
[08:52] <Pelo> [Sky] Man,  just get rid of the eye candy and your current box will last 5 more years
[08:52] <Wolfwalker> |[Sky] Man:|  That's probably best. Why not just catch the upgrade automatically.
[08:52] <Wolfwalker>  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
[08:52] <nojoints> lufis; I had an error, I removed the installations but it's still there
[08:52] <nojoints> Pelo; Didn't help
[08:53] <[Sky] Man> Pelo: thats what i did 5 years ago ;) hehe
[08:53] <lufis> nojoints: what error? are you just trying to remove the compiz packages?
[08:53] <genefitz> [Sky] Man, Compiz and other eye-candy can be hypnotizing. It is nice, I can't use it because of my configuration, but I am more of a productivity user anyway...
[08:53] <[Sky] Man> Pelo: i think its time i deserved to give myself a little eye candy
[08:53] <Pelo> [Sky] Man,  I meant an extra 5 years
[08:53] <ramboooooooooooo> /server irc.techno-link.com
[08:54] <genefitz> The only eye-candy I use is Superkaramba in KDE, But Compiz Fuzion is amazing looking
[08:54] <nojoints> lufis; yes becouse i was trying to install, didn't work, got an error, removed it but now when i try to install something else i get error message that it's unable to lock the administration directory /var/lib/dpkg
[08:54] <genefitz> lol Pelo
[08:54] <Pelo> nojoints,  which part is gving you problems ?
[08:54] <lufis> nojoints: ohh, you don't need to remove anything there! :P
[08:54] <lufis> nojoints: make sure synaptic isn't running
[08:54] <[Sky] Man> Pelo: ive been working in IT for .. pff about 10 years now, and since my first box, a pentium 200 with 32 meg o ram, a real beast it was, ive never bought a fast and shiny all singing all dancing pc, i always scraped and built meself stuff from leftovers
[08:54] <nojoints> lufis; aha then that's prob the problem then ill try
[08:54] <lufis> nojoints: :D
[08:55] <sacater> !wireless
[08:55] <[Sky] Man> whatever i get im sure ill squeeze every last thing out of it for the next 5 years
[08:55] <[Sky] Man> hehe
[08:55] <Pelo> [Sky] Man, ok then , you have my permission to treath yourself, just don'T go into debt for it
[08:55] <sacater> !wireless | sacater
[08:55] <lufis> nojoints: to modify  packages that directory has to be locked so different apps don't get conflicted... if one's using it, it won't let anything else use it
[08:55] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:55] <genefitz> [Sky] Man, sometimes, especially in the computer world, you gotta treat yourself.. Go ahead, go wild. :-)
[08:55] <genefitz> Linux will only love you more..
[08:55] <nojoints> lufis; it was the synaptic that was the problem
[08:56] <Wolfwalker>  Okay genefitz, that bootfloppy you referred me to only tried to boot DSL. It wouldn't even look for others.
[08:56] <Wolfwalker>  I'm trying to boot Ubuntu from an external CDrom
[08:56] <lufis> nojoints: yeah... although you could have removed the pkgs with synaptic
[08:56] <genefitz> Oh, Okay Wolfwalker, let me see if I can find a work around for you..
[08:56] <[Sky] Man> Pelo: no way, were getting married in 3 weeks, we have been skint for the last year. i think when we get back from honey moon were gonna start looking at what to spend gift money on
[08:56] <Pelo> lufis,   niobos  is doing some serious stuff building,  he needs to get rid of stuff that didn'T work well for him , he's not just messing with is system
[08:56] <[Sky] Man> although i do really fancy a wii , lol
[08:57] <lufis> Pelo: oh
[08:57] <RatX> apt-get install nintendo
[08:57] <genefitz> Wolfwalker did you try the command "Ubuntu fromcd" instead of "dsl fromcd"?
[08:57] <Wolfwalker>  What command? It just said to hit enter
[08:57] <niobos> lufis, Pelo : I'm a Gentoo-user, thinking about switching to (K)ubuntu, so I know what will ruin my system
[08:58] <[Sky] Man> as i said before i only just got back into *nix not long ago, ive really missed the eye candy
[08:58] <Wolfwalker>  All I did was hit enter when it said to hit enter. Where do you stop it and hit command?
[08:58] <niobos> lufis: I need to change the busybox-binary to include some extra programs; So I figured I need to recompile (I know how to do that)
[08:58] <[Sky] Man> but things have come along way since i last used linux
[08:58] <brylie> how do I use aptitude or apt to show the locations of installed packages/dependencies?
[08:58] <genefitz> Wolfwalker, let me see what I can find for you..
[08:58] <fuertesfj> could some one please me Im desperate I need help with screen resolution
[08:58] <Pelo> niobos,  ho you're using kubuntu,  I'm not sure what the comand is then,  try   kdesu with the name what ever the file manager is and the path to the folder
[08:58] <nojoints> I have dual view, but the wallpapers wont get on each screen, they're either in the between or stretched out and becomes quite ugly, any way to get it to use same wallpaper but it's not stretched out on both
[08:59] <niobos> lufis: The only this I don't know is how to package the new-custom-busybox into a nice ubuntu package
[08:59] <Mr-Snick> system>prefs>screen resolution
[08:59] <sacater> can i password protect files?
[08:59] <niobos> Pelo: Kubuntu or ubuntu doesn't matter much here (I think)
[08:59] <lufis> niobos: checkinstall?
[08:59] <fuertesfj> Mr-Snick: yea my drop menu only shows 640x480
[09:00] <niobos> sacater: yes and no: you can encrypt them
[09:00] <brylie> ubutu xorg.conf
[09:00] <Pelo> niobos,  it does,   ubuntu uses gnome with a different set of gui apps.  if you'Re doing command line only it doesnT matter, but if you want to use gui apps you need the right set of command for  kde
[09:00] <brylie> ubotu xorg.conf
[09:00] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[09:00] <sacater> niobos: and?
[09:00] <niobos> lufis: close; but busybox doesn't realy make a good install (since it will overwrite the system /bin/cat, ...)
[09:00] <Flannel> Pelo: kdesu is correct
[09:00] <jakemate> I can not make "sudo apt-get update". The command say: "404 not found". My sources.list is "deb http://es.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted"
[09:00] <brylie> ubotu xorg.conf > fuertesfj
[09:00] <Pelo> Flannel,  but what is the kde file manager called ?
[09:00] <niobos> sacater: the result is the same
[09:01] <lufis> niobos: hm, i actually don't even know what you're trying to do
[09:01] <niobos> sacater: "password protection" is usually an option in the application itself
[09:01] <Flannel> jakemate: that's because breezy archives are no longer around.  Breezy's support ended a few months ago.  You ought to upgrade to dapper.
[09:01] <Flannel> Pelo: konqueror
[09:01] <niobos> sacater: encryption works always, but requires a 2-step proces (save, encrypt and decrypt, open)
[09:01] <jakemate> Flannel: how can I make it?
[09:01] <Flannel> jakemate: on the plus side, you don't need to update, since the packages haven't changed in those few months.
[09:01] <Flannel> jakemate: make it what?
[09:01] <fuertesfj> brylie: ok but I dont know what to change wen i get there
[09:01] <jakemate> Flannel: upgrade to dapper...
[09:02] <Flannel> !upgrade | jakemate
[09:02] <ubotu> jakemate: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[09:02] <niobos> lufis: I'm trying to make my own initramfs, but I know how to do that (in Gentoo); I'm just new to making ubuntu-packages
[09:02] <Pelo> niobos,  so   kdesu konqueror /path  will open the folder as root so you can delete to your little heart's content
[09:02] <Flannel> jakemate: you want the 5.10 to 6.06 upgrade
[09:02] <jakemate> ubotu: thanks
[09:02] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[09:02] <lufis> niobos: you're barking up the wrong tree then :p
[09:02] <lufis> sorry
[09:02] <niobos> lufis: any pointers to the right tree?
[09:03] <inaety> when i try to play rmvb in mplayer i get this error "Error opening the selected video_out (-vo) device."
[09:03] <lufis> niobos: there are deb making tools besides checkinstall... is that what you're asking?
[09:03] <niobos> lufis: thanks anyway; I'll google a bit on checkinstall and see what turns up
[09:03] <brylie> fuertesfj, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto#head-c7979448ab81077f16349d3ca4be7aa5a5a52de2
[09:04] <Yahya> !changing the menu in XFCE mode
[09:04] <Flannel> !checkinstall | niobos
[09:04] <ubotu> niobos: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!

[09:24] <andyho623> just a quick question... I'm in the process of convincing my hubby to switch the rest of our machines to Ubuntu.. one slight thing we've run into though.. our kids like playing games on Nick.com. For whatever reason the majority of games don't want work in ANY browser other than IE7. He JUST upgraded to IE7 and already was bombarded with 15 popups, even when IE wasn't open! It's crap and he even sees more that he wants windows off the
[09:24] <andyho623> Nick.com to work for them?!?? Thanks!!
[09:24] <Sos``> cause /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin/ are empty

[09:29] <vocx> !botabuse > robbiet480
[09:29] <Falstius> Paddy_EIRE: uhm, I would run it, then right click the panel and click 'add panel' ... then log out.  Atleast one of them should come back :)
[09:29] <robbiet480> sorry
[09:29] <nojoints> tokj: kk
[09:29] <robbiet480> i didnt mean too

[09:29] <bulmer> JBandP: is the router working okay? does it have another port you can use?
[09:29] <Falstius> Paddy_EIRE: excuse me if I don't test that myself, but I have 3 panels and I don't want to screw them up :)
[09:29] <tokj> nojoints: are compressed archives with tar.* extensions

[09:30] <monsoco> does anyone know of a good (and free) home backup solution for ubuntu which is easy (click of a button easy) that also contain revision control features (like upcoming time machine)?
[09:30] <lufis> nojoints: get my pm?
[09:30] <bulmer> JBandP: okay..perhaps one port went bad and need a power reset
[09:30] <Kimbie> Ive just installed 7.04 off the live CD onto a seperate hdd however when it boots, it comes up with Missing Operating System I also have Vista installed on another drive
[09:30] <JBandP> im going to restart my router now. brb
[09:31] <nojoints> lufis; yes
[09:31] <Paddy_EIRE> Falstius: cool, when I did gnome-panel in a terminal it restored my previous panel! nice one
[09:31] <robbiet480> so
[09:31] <robbiet480> no one can help me with setting up a NAS under ubuntu
[09:31] <Amendt> lost X server  I tried "X- configure" and now X works , but how do I get Gnome desktop back?
[09:31] <Wolfwalker>  Right
[09:31] <Kimbie> can anyone help then?
[09:32] <vocx> Kimbie, that is a known problem not specific to Linux, it usually happens upon installing OSes. It usually means the BIOS can't detect properly the hard drives.
[09:32] <Wolfwalker>  Where can I find a grub img file to put on a floppy?
[09:32] <Pelo> robbiet480,  chck in the forum  www.ubuntuforums.org
[09:32] <robbiet480> kk thx
[09:32] <Pelo> Wolfwalker,  ask in #grub maybe the know
[09:32] <c01100011> I am looking for screenlets is there another repo or site to download a .deb, hendrick.kaju.pri.ee is down
[09:32] <Kimbie> ok, so what is the fix to it?
[09:33] <x600> Is GmailFS running on Ubuntu?
[09:33] <Pelo> c01100011,  try in  www.gnome-look.org  they have some
[09:33] <vocx> Kimbie, a quick solution would be unplug and reconnect the hard drives and checking the BIOS settings. Also resetting the BIOS may help. More info on this topic can be found on countless blogs and forums on the internet.
[09:33] <huhuhu> pls help
[09:33] <Paddy_EIRE> Falstius: excellent, pheeww Im back working again
[09:33] <Pelo> huhuhu,  we need to know he problem

[09:33] <Chewy-Fudge> Hola!

[09:34] <robbiet480> and the correct command is
[09:34] <Paddy_EIRE> Pelo: while kde was installing in the terminal I was mucking about rotating the cube and I didnt realise that when I was pressing control it seems to be skipping items during the install with the word 'no' popping up under what the current activity was
[09:34] <Pelo> c01100011,  then the screenlets site seems to be all there i
[09:34] <robbiet480> mount /dev/sda /media/d

[09:36] <Pelo> later folks
[09:36] <Paddy_EIRE> Pelo: or will using Synaptic insure complete removal
[09:37] <lufis> KleRoi: sudo apt-get install gettext   :)
[09:37] <lufis> KleRoi: should do it
[09:37] <Grungebunny> Hello, im having trouble playing mp3s.. both with amarok and Rythembox.. now I had to reinstall Ubuntu and last time It gave me the option to download the patch to play mp3s now its not giving  me the option, its just crashing or doing nothing.
[09:37] <vocx> Pelo, Paddy_EIRE Using Control+ key usually sends signals to the shell, which may terminate or suspend running applications
[09:37] <KleRoi> oh ok lufis
[09:37] <Paddy_EIRE> vocx: oh dear
[09:37] <Woosta> Where can I get libapache2-mod-php4 for fiesty? It's not in any of the repositories that I can find on packages.ubuntu..
[09:37] <bulmer> JBandP: on a terminal..type this  ip a  and tel us what shows?
[09:38] <monsoco> does anyone know of a good (and free) home backup solution for ubuntu which is easy (click of a button easy) that also contain revision control features (like upcoming time machine)?
[09:38] <KleRoi> oh yeah it did work, thanks lufis
[09:38] <pedro> Grungebunny, Ithink you need some extra plug-ins in roder to play mp3
[09:38] <lufis> KleRoi: np, i had the same problem the other day
[09:38] <Grungebunny> pedro yeah.. but last time It gave me the option to download them.. now it is not giving me the option.. its crashing amarok instead.
[09:38] <KleRoi> erm, got another problem right now, now it says "You must have the GLib 2.0 development headers installed to build."  :|

[09:39] <train> hey guys
[09:39] <arooni> hey folks... dual monitor output on my nvidia 7950 graphics card was working *great* with nvidia-settings.... then i ran the system update.... and now its broken (max resolution i can get on second monitor is 600x400... it should be 1280x1024....).  ive already tried restarting... and reinstalling nvidia drivers... ideas?
[09:39] <JBandP> bulmer:Lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,1000>MTU 164636  and eth0:<BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> etc etc
[09:39] <reverseblade> train, what's up
[09:40] <Paddy_EIRE> vocx: i did  sudo aptitude remove kde && sudo aptitude purge kde
[09:40] <bulmer> JBandP: well does it have an ip address?
[09:40] <zorze> ok, so i found some full hardware pci modems as well as some serial ones. I keep reading that i should get a serial type, but a much newer full hardware (i checked to make sure it was) pci modem costs the same. So I think I am going to go with to pci modem, any opinions?
[09:40] <pedro> People, I'm trying to put my old Philips PCVC720k/00 USB webcam working on Feisty
[09:40] <train> I plugged in a better monitor to my computer, but how do I make X11 reconfigure my monitor settings
[09:40] <MaDiNfO_> can somebody say why google earth runs frame by frame on my machine when glxgears display 1900FPS ?
[09:40] <MaDiNfO_> can somebody say why google earth runs frame by frame on my machine when glxgears display 1900FPS ??
[09:40] <Paddy_EIRE> vocx: so I should just reinstall kde again and not touch
[09:40] <pedro> so far, only Xawtv worked with the cam
[09:40] <JBandP> bulmer:my router says its' on 192.168.0.107. but i see no such numbers in my terminal
[09:40] <train> the low refresh rate is killing my eye balls
[09:40] <reverseblade> train, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (or what ever the package is)
[09:41] <missingno> anyone know how I can disable dragging with a Synaptics touchpad without disabling tap to click? It's a simple option supported in the Windows driver, but apparently the linux driver devs didn't even think of it
[09:41] <bulmer> JBandP: or try ifconfig  this will also show your ip address
[09:41] <vocx> Paddy_EIRE, you could try, yes.   Just an advice "aptitude purge" already removes the program, so it is not necessary to do "aptitude remove"
[09:41] <savetheWorld> train, can you say "Java" ? :-)
[09:41] <Paddy_EIRE> vocx: I prefer gnome but trying a couple different window managers...also something I can show to potential converts
[09:41] <pedro> but with camorama and elkiga the webcam is detected but no clear image, just colors
[09:41] <reverseblade> missingno, it is douable but not easy I think
[09:41] <jr_> does linux have a chat client that will support webcams, that i can contact people using yahoo messenger with
[09:41] <MaDiNfO_> hello
[09:41] <Paddy_EIRE> vocx: haaa, will remember that one
[09:41] <train> 60 refresh rate with a white screen makes my eyes bleed
[09:41] <MaDiNfO_> somebody ?
[09:42] <lufis> MaDiNfO_: hi
[09:42] <reverseblade> jr_, Amsn, and kopete supports web cam for msn messenger
[09:42] <MaDiNfO_> :)
[09:42] <MaDiNfO_> hi
[09:42] <tanath> jr_, have you tried the official yahoo messenger? IIRC, they do have a linux version
[09:42] <train> 19 inches of flickering screen
[09:42] <reverseblade> train, true
[09:42] <jr_> tanath,  yeah looking now
[09:42] <lufis> train: what graphics card?
[09:42] <jr_> reverseblade,  i need yim
[09:42] <JBandP1> bulmer: my ip looks to be 127.0.0.1 under lo inet addr
[09:42] <train> just a default pos, but i'm sure it can do better than 60
[09:42] <bulmer> JBandP: your eth0 should have one
[09:42] <MaDiNfO_> lufis: saw my question ?
[09:42] <Paddy_EIRE> tanath: the linux version of yahoo messenger is awful and seriously out of date
[09:42] <tanath> oh
[09:42] <zorze> any input on full hardware pci modem vs. oldschool serial?
[09:42] <lufis> MaDiNfO_: no, sorry, one sec
[09:42] <missingno> Who maintains the actual driver? Is it part of X.org?
[09:43] <reverseblade> jr_, send a mail to yahoo
[09:43] <JBandP1> bulmer: i see no IP under eth0
[09:43] <bulmer> JBandP: got to System -->Administration ->Network and configure it from there
[09:43] <jr_> reverseblade,  need cam
[09:43] <train> I jsut need to know how to run the config program for X11 again
[09:43] <Paddy_EIRE> jr_: use GYachi
[09:43] <tanath> Paddy_EIRE, i don't use yahoo messenger anymore, so i don't know what works for it. pidgin might
[09:43] <pedro> quit
[09:43] <Grungebunny> thankyou it worked
[09:43] <jr_> Paddy_EIRE,  ok ill take a look at that one
[09:44] <R3dsh1ft> Has anyone ever gotten OTP login via SSH to work?
[09:44] <JBandP1> bulmer: configure it how? im in there now
[09:44] <MaDiNfO_> lufis: and ?
[09:44] <Traveler28> hiee guys
[09:44] <bulmer> JBandP: edit or activate..from the selection its obvious
[09:44] <lufis> MaDiNfO_: no idea :p
[09:44] <MaDiNfO_> :9
[09:45] <Traveler28> what the hell is this
[09:45] <MaDiNfO_> can somebody say why google earth runs frame by frame on my machine when glxgears display 1900FPS ??????????????
[09:45] <Traveler28> ?
[09:45] <Traveler28> using this for the first time
[09:45] <Traveler28> its great
[09:45] <Traveler28> nebody talk to me
[09:45] <Traveler28> hehe
[09:45] <JBandP1> bulmer:wired connection is active and has been since day one.  modem connection is not active (has nimus symbol)
[09:45] <R3dsh1ft> MaDiNfO_, because glxgears is a stupidly simple program?
[09:45] <Traveler28> im enjoin
[09:45] <MaDiNfO_> R3dsh1ft: rigth... and sulution to my problem ?
[09:45] <Traveler28> which program?
[09:45] <Traveler28> can u guys share wth me
[09:45] <R3dsh1ft> MaDiNfO_, Dunno if there is one. Sorry.
[09:45] <zorze> ok, i guess i am going to go with the full hardware pci modem
[09:46] <bulmer> JBandP: look at its properties..what is configured for it?
[09:46] <javaJake> Hello everyone
[09:46] <stiv2k> why does it say this every time i try to upgrade?
[09:46] <stiv2k> The following packages have been kept back: gnupg linux-image-server linux-server
[09:46] <R3dsh1ft> MaDiNfO_, just because glxgears runs at 1900FPS doesn't mean that your system will run everything else ungodly fast.
[09:46] <arooni> folks nvidia's twinview was working great... until i ran the system update and installed updates.... twinview still works, but my max resolution on the second monitor is 640x400 (should be 1280x1024).... i've already tried reinstalling the nvidia driver & restarting....... ideas?
[09:46] <JBandP1> bulmer DHCP
[09:46] <R3dsh1ft> stiv2k, aptitude dist-upgrade
[09:46] <stiv2k> k
[09:46] <train> argh how to I reconfigure my monitor

[09:46] <reverseblade> train, I've written above
[09:46] <rdavila> Hi friends, someboy can share the BDDEsigner4 app, because the download page don't work please?
[09:46] <reverseblade> train, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (or what ever the package is)
[09:46] <train> I missed let me search
[09:46] <train> oh thanks
[09:47] <javaJake> stiv2k, be careful - watch what it'll remove or change
[09:47] <Traveler28> what u fuckin guys doin ?
[09:47] <javaJake> stiv2k, saying dist-upgrade tells it it is alright to meddle with anything to get the upgrade to work, basically.
[09:47] <bulmer> JBandP: so switching it on the router port didnt make a difference?

[09:50] <javaJake> Traveler28, stop bugging a user just to get an answer solved. It's obnoxious, and discourages anyone else from helping you.
[09:51] <Traveler28> ohhhkkk
[09:51] <bulmer> JBandP: try this... /etc/init.d/networking restart   <-- i mistyped earlier
[09:51] <jr_> lufis, it doesnt show if i do or dont
[09:51] <arooni> Falstius, cool i will try
[09:51] <lufis> jr_: what are you trying to compile?
[09:51] <jr_> lufis,  how do i get gtk dev if i dont
[09:51] <hackerboy> lufis: r u online
[09:51] <jr_> lufis,  yahoo from source
[09:51] <lufis> hackerboy: yup
[09:51] <vocx> JBandP1, use the <tab> key to complete paths or command names.
[09:52] <lufis> jr_: in synaptic search for "libgtk dev"
[09:52] <jr_> lufis,  i have libgtk
[09:52] <jr_> lufis,  yea i have that dev
[09:52] <Traveler28> actualy i was just checking this thing out .i had never used such kind of thing before i ve now embedded in ma blog so its gr8 .all guys continue.im jst readin thru wht u guys talkin ,wuld like to know some new stuffs
[09:52] <JBandP1> blmer: it's up! nsend_netpacket was "unreachable" but then it continued through and worked.
[09:52] <jos2> Is there a solution on Linux so that multiple users can edit the same office document at once?
[09:52] <jr_> lufis,  the latest versioin in fiesties repos
[09:52] <lufis> jr_: i dunno, look in the README or INSALL file for help on dependencies
[09:52] <hackerboy> lufis: sorry about that
[09:52] <lufis> INSTALL*
[09:53] <scorp123> Traveler28: it would help if you wrote in a proper language. Not all are native English speakers here.
[09:53] <JBandP1> bulmer: do you know how to get ubuntu to connect to the network upon reboot/power up? i want to take this thing off a monitor but i cna;t do it if it wont connect to the network on it's own.
[09:53] <Traveler28> me too not a native ..hehe...ok
[09:54] <javaJake> scorp123, he said he'll just lurk to learn new stuff.
[09:54] <Wolfwalker>  Right, I have grub running off a floppy
[09:54] <vocx> jos2, I believe that is more specialized. But who knows. Maybe you do need MS Office, or you need to search what extensions are available for Open Office.
[09:54] <Wolfwalker>  Now how do I tell it to boot from the USB cdrom?
[09:54] <Mookie> I installed a version of windows on a separate partition. What's the simplest way to have Ubuntu (grub) reclaim the MBR?
[09:54] <scorp123> javaJake: whatever. I didn't understand half of it anyway.
[09:54] <Kimbie> Ok just checked my drive boot order in bios but still get the error "Error Loading Operating System" on boot
[09:54] <javaJake> scorp123, :)
[09:54] <bulmer> JBandP: got to System -->Administration ->Networking and configure it from there
[09:55] <JBandP1> bulmer: i did not see a setting for connect on boot or anything.
[09:55] <Traveler28> thats great ...i must find some channel which is of my interest..bye guys enjoy your questions and answers
[09:55] <vocx> Kimbie, it is not exactly that what you need to change. But use something to autodetect the hard drives.
[09:55] <bulmer> JBandP: you may have to look at /etc/network/interfaces if auto eth0 is set
[09:55] <javaJake> scorp123, translation: I was just checking this channel out. I had never used this thing before (I've now embedded it in my blog so everything is fine). Everyone ignore me, I'm just reading what you guys say to learn new stuff.
[09:55] <habo> hey there guys
[09:55] <jr_> lufis, i fixed it i installed the older libgtk versions from the repos
[09:55] <|tbb|> reverseblade: is virtualbox better than vmware?
[09:55] <Wolfwalker> |Traveler28:|  Well what do you think an Ubuntu helpchat is for?
[09:55] <Wolfwalker>  :P
[09:55] <JBandP1> bulmer:is that a textfile?
[09:56] <javaJake> Traveler28, #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:56] <bulmer> JBandP: yep
[09:56] <jr_> lufis,  new error though. configure: error: Cannot find gdk-pixbuf: Is gdk-pixbuf-config in path?
[09:56] <scorp123> javaJake: honestly, I don't care :)
[09:56] <javaJake> Traveler28, they have some pretty interesting discussions sometimes
[09:56] <JBandP1> ok thanks.
[09:56] <javaJake> scorp123, ah, sorry then. :)
[09:56] <Traveler28> im not getting what you sayin
[09:56] <Wolfwalker>  I have grub running off a floppy. Now how do I tell it to boot from the USB cdrom?
[09:56] <Traveler28> saying*
[09:56] <jolly_> hey, any ideas for a cool advertisment for linux/unix in a mail signature? :P
[09:56] <Kimbie> before i put ubuntu on Vista booted fine with no problems, since intstalling 7.04 neither now work
[09:56] <Traveler28> sorry but didnt get
[09:56] <javaJake> Traveler28, #ubuntu-offtopic channel is basically a channel where you can talk about anything.
[09:56] <bulmer> Wolfwalker: your mobo bios has to support it
[09:56] <Mookie> Anyone know how to have grub reclaim the MBR after a windows install on a partition stole it? I used to be able to do this with LILO.
[09:56] <Traveler28> ohhkkk
[09:57] <Traveler28> got it now dude
[09:57] <javaJake> Traveler28, so if you just want to chat, #ubuntu-offtopic is for you
[09:57] <BigBob> hi all
[09:57] <Wolfwalker> |bulmer:|  then how do you boot from a usb cdrom for older computers?
[09:57] <Traveler28> so how should i get there
[09:57] <JBandP1> bulmer: eth0 is set to auto
[09:57] <BigBob> I'm trying to find why bluetooth services doesn't start automatically on my side ...
[09:57] <eboyjr> Why does gksudo make the program look so ugly? Why doesn't it use the gtktheme?
[09:57] <bulmer> Wolfwalker: lots of older puters dont support booting off of usb..you're out of luck
[09:57] <BigBob> Someone of you running Feisty can give me result of :
[09:57] <silver2> please excuse me. Check this site for Ubuntu badges:
[09:57] <jr_> bulmer, use eth1 for wifi
[09:57] <silver2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MassachusettsTeam/Projects/AluminiumCaseBadges
[09:57] <Wolfwalker>  :/
[09:57] <BigBob> ls /etc/rc*.d/*|grep blu
[09:58] <lufis> jr_: do you know what dependencies it needs?
[09:58] <bulmer> JBandP1: make sure its defined before iface eth0
[09:58] <Wolfwalker>  I heard there was an img file you could put on a floppy and IT would boot from a USB cdrom
[09:58] <Wolfwalker>  But I can't find it
[09:58] <vocx> Kimbie, the problem you have is not Ubuntu specific. That problem would happen usually upon reinstalling Windows XP, so please don't assume is Linux fault. Please browse the web.
[09:58] <bulmer> jr_  huh?
[09:58] <scorp123> eboyjr: that can happen if you use a theme that is only installed locally in your home folder but not system-wide (e.g. "root" doesn't have it). So apps called via "gksudo" will fall-back to an ugly default.
[09:58] <jr_> lufis,  its done with config im on make
[09:58] <jr_> bulmer,  nvm lol
[09:59] <JBandP1> bulmer: i see iface eth0 inet dhcp then below it i see auto eth0.  should i put auto eth0 above?
[09:59] <manduski> hey can anyone try to SSH connect with me? port 1337

[09:59] <Kimbie> vocx, you suggest browseing the web, but browse the web for what?
[09:59] <eboyjr> scorp123, okat thanks, thats why it works on the Human theme.
[09:59] <bulmer> Wolfwalker: google for damn small linux tutorial..it may be there
[09:59] <Anthonydu68> linux powaaa
[09:59] <Anthonydu68> lol
[09:59] <scorp123> eboyjr: yes, because that one is system-wide and every account has access to it.
[09:59] <Anthonydu68> good night all
[09:59] <bulmer> JBandP1: yes put it above
[09:59] <Creteil> Someone of you running Feisty can give me result of : ls /etc/rc*.d/*|grep blu
[09:59] <theo_> Is it me or does everyone with a 64-bit system have problems installing applications?
[10:00] <scorp123> eboyjr: a workaround would be to install themes and stuff system-wide. They had a posting about that on the forums if I am not mistaken.
[10:00] <JBandP1> ok, done. im rebooting now to see what happens.  one odd thing is that i used to have a option in my taskbar that i would right click hthat said "wired".  now it's gone. do you know where to bring it back?
[10:00] <vocx> Kimbie, search for the exact error message you get on boot. It will point to pages with people that had the same problem and were able to solve it.
[10:01] <manduski> hey guys i'm trying to troubleshoot my SSH. Can anyone try and connect with me? Not login just connect to see if it works?
[10:01] <Kimbie> ok will look
[10:02] <jos2> I'll hit your ssh if you want
[10:02] <scorp123> manduski: you could get yourself an account e.g. on silenceisdefeat.org and troubleshoot it yourself.
[10:03] <JBandP1> bulmer: it still does not boot on it's own
[10:04] <bulmer> JBandP1: it should have...you can for now /etc/init.d/networking restart to start it
[10:04] <dMz> hola
[10:04] <radu> /server bucharest.ro.eu.undernet.org
[10:04] <Lunis> I had a crazy idea and I wondered if anyone ever heard of it... Are there tools to use your computer and a dial-up modem to answer phone calls with a bluetooth headset?
[10:05] <IRCFrEAK> hi I just tried installing on MacBook inside parallels... went through install fine, but doesn't boot... just gets stuck at loading kernel image or whatever. Do I need to do anything extra for macbooks (Ubuntu 6.06)

[10:08] <manduski> astro76, i contacted my ISP and we put the DSL modem on bridge mode
[10:08] <Falstius> sohail: er, nevermind.  I added a digit in my head. Tired.
[10:08] <Mookie> I have a dual boot system. Windows took control of the MBR from grub. What is easiest way to have grub reclaim the boot?
[10:08] <astro76> manduski, what port is ssh on now?
[10:08] <sohail> Falstius, lol
[10:08] <manduski> astro76, the tech people say they don't actually block any type of server line

[10:10] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, got a quick question if you've got a sec
[10:10] <PriceChild> ddazedd, lm-sensors unless you have a thinkpad
[10:10] <nojoints> what is STUN server?
[10:10] <astro76> Mr_Bomb, shoot

[10:10] <ddazedd> PriceChild: thanks
[10:11] <manduski> astro76, what could be the problem now?
[10:11] <exs> if = input file, of = output file. bs=2k for faster speed.
[10:11] <vocx> !info genisoimage | exs sohail
[10:11] <sohail> exs I thought you said you want to make an iso of your hard drive

[10:11] <sohail> looks like you're making an image of a cdrom
[10:11] <nojoints> amsn
[10:11] <exs> vocx:  yes, sorry, it was actually a cd image.. but i put HD because i thought someone might know it
[10:11] <sohail> !tell vocx I didn't ask
[10:12] <exs> vocx:  thanks
[10:12] <ddazedd> PriceChild: i seem to have the package installed already...but i cant run it in term?? what do i need to do
[10:12] <astro76> manduski, nmap still shows the same, I guess at this point try taking the router out again
[10:12] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, okay I've got my ubuntu fully working, I'v enow installed XP on another partition. But when I can no boot into ubuntu since XP uses the primary boot order or something. Is there an easy way to change the boot order or something?
[10:12] <Mr_Bomb> astro76, I've got GParted loaded right now
[10:12] <vocx> sohail, oh that was mean... Usually we send information to all people within a conversation so all can benefit

[10:13] <scipio> Mr_Bomb: see this thread to reinstall grub so you can boot in both linux and windows: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=recover+grub
[10:14] <Rabbitbunny> that's what rm -rf does? so rm -rf /root would...
[10:14] <ddazedd> PriceChild: thanks again :)
[10:14] <Rabbitbunny> That make soooo many jokes funny now.
[10:15] <vocx> Rabbitbunny, indeed
[10:15] <PriceChild> ddazedd, just don't do it on a thinkpad :)
[10:15] <scipio> |tbb|: the easiest way to do it is to start from scratch. you need several partitions: one for windows one for ubuntu and one for swap (size is your RAMx2). the install windows first and then ubuntu
[10:15] <manduski> astro76, the ISP tech guy told me i would have to reset the DSL modem because its pointless to be connected directly during bridge mode
[10:15] <arooni> folks nvidia's twinview was working great... until i ran the system update and installed updates.... twinview still works, but my max resolution on the second monitor is 640x400 (should be 1280x1024).... i've already tried reinstalling the nvidia driver & restarting....... ideas? (xorg config file: http://pastie.caboo.se/87026)
[10:16] <W8TAH> i would like to turn on the colors in vim - -i tried the syntax on method from various websites and that earns me a command not available message
[10:17] <W8TAH> what do i do
[10:17] <MasterShrek> arooni, do u have the nvidia-setting gui config?
[10:17] <|tbb|> scipio: i got ubuntu allready installed, any way to install windows after
[10:17] <vocx> arooni, I've seen you repeating the question. Sorry, I have no clue.  Maybe you need to remove the kernel modules that remain after the removing thing and then reinstalling.
[10:17] <astro76> manduski, I don't see the difference, either your router or your pc will be getting and ip via dhcp from the dsl modem, I think the bridge mode just passes the external IP through to the internal interface, otherwise the dsl modem is actually doing NAT on it's own like your router
[10:17] <arooni> master_of_master, sure do
[10:17] <arooni> master_of_master, but i can only set to a max of 600x400 on the secon dmonitor
[10:17] <MasterShrek> |tbb|, yes but you have to follow the guide for recovering ubuntu after an xp install
[10:17] <MasterShrek> MasterShrek*
[10:17] <scipio> |tbb|: yes if you already have a free partition. you will need to reinstall grub after that but it's fairly easy
[10:17] <arooni> vocx, how do i do that?
[10:18] <arooni> i'm a newb
[10:18] <|tbb|> thx
[10:18] <vocx> arooni, then you should not take my advice, he he... you'll end up worse.

[10:25] <MasterShrek> |tbb|, ideally you would want to install ubuntu last, so that grub pick up on your other operating systems, but i believe that after the install of all 3 of them, you can recover grub and it should find them all

[10:28] <riyonuk> ectospasm, do you know how?
[10:28] <ectospasm> riyonuk:  or Firefox has an RSS reader as an add-on
[10:28] <Blauhaut> Yono; i am looking for it thanks

[10:31] <kodram> hello?! how am i supposed to get ubuntu on my laptop?
[10:31] <Flannel> kodram: CD is the usual method
[10:31] <Blauhaut> Yono; it is not working it has no idea about linux
[10:31] <kodram> the cd aint working
[10:31] <kodram> it just boots windows
 check your bios settings
[10:31] <Juukamen> burning imaged with Brasero, what filesystem will it be in then, EXT or FAT 
[10:31] <Flannel> kodram: if you open the CD in windows, what do you see?
[10:31] <Mr_Bomb> kodram, check your boot priority in your bios
[10:31] <lordzizeron> Hi
[10:31] <lordzizeron> Hola
[10:31] <riyonuk> ubuntu hates my internet, so its gonna be a while before it loads /
[10:31] <Falstius> kodram: you need to adjust your bios to boot from CD (or the CD isn't burned correctly).
[10:32] <lordzizeron> anysome speak spanish ???

[10:32] <Falstius> !es | lordzizeron
[10:32] <kodram> the cd works fine on my other cp
[10:32] <vocx> Juukamen, what do you mean? From the CD to the hard drive or from the hard drive to the CD?
[10:32] <Juukamen> to the CD from one HD that got NTFS filesystem
[10:32] <Falstius> kodram: look for boot priority options in your bios.  usually you get into the bios by hitting del or f1 when the computer is first turning on
[10:32] <Yono> Blauhaut: did you mount the ipod yet?
[10:32] <kodram> thanks for your help :(
[10:32] <kodram> :)*
[10:33] <Blauhaut> Yono;  yes
[10:33] <Blauhaut> Yono; i  do not have problem with ipod, i just want to download mp3 from it
[10:33] <riyonuk> Ok, lets start small, how would I get rss on my desktop?
[10:33] <vocx> Juukamen, CD's use a special file system, they are not just ext3, FAT32 or NTFS. Look Wikipedia for more info.

[10:59] <flush> neither in /mnt/ nor /media/, df -Th doesnt show anything about the camera which is on usb port
[11:00] <vocx> Zee1ot, that sounds like the BIOS deactivated it.
[11:00] <PriceChild> flush, well then it isn't mounted...?
[11:00] <Zee1ot> hmm vocx ok ill take a look
[11:00] <Micha2> I've got a little problem (I've burned the ubuntu CD ISO and when I put it in my pc and reboot / he starts booting from cd as he should but when I click on use or install ubuntu then I'm gettin an error message sayying : erro reading boot disk (or somthing alike)

[11:02] <JeevesMoss> hello all!!!
[11:02] <evan__> pitch black or half cream half black
[11:02] <fedobuntu_us3r> oh
[11:02] <vocx> Micha2, before burning the ISO it is recommended to test the md5sum . Also the Ubuntu CD has an option to check the integrity of the disk. You may need to download the ISO again.
[11:02] <DJAnubis> how do I remove directories?
[11:02] <A[D] minS> Guys no one here can fix dpkg  error ?
[11:02] <fedobuntu_us3r> well, I'm not sure
[11:02] <v12w> can ubuntu play sound on toshiba laptops ?
[11:02] <A[D] minS> so where i can ask ?
[11:02] <vocx> DJAnubis, "rm -r /some/dir"
[11:02] <DJAnubis> thx
[11:02] <PriceChild> v12w, most probably. Use a live cd to see if it works fine without you messing with your hard drive.
[11:02] <evan__> there is some sort of bug work around but im not sure what the text is to paste in to  the xorg file
[11:03] <Micha2> uhm what is md5sum ?
[11:03] <JeevesMoss> does anyone here hve any experiance with ispconfig?
[11:03] <PriceChild> !md5sum | Micha2
[11:03] <ubotu> Micha2: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more
[11:03] <vocx> v12w, a "Toshiba Laptop" is a very broad term. If you have a problem you need to specify the model, since not all use the same hardware.
[11:03] <PriceChild> JeevesMoss, i've heard of it before... but could you please explain exactly what you want to do, and what that program is for so there is no misunderstanding?
[11:03] <JeevesMoss> v12w:  is it a Satellite model?

[11:06] <JeevesMoss> v12W:  lol, you've got no idea how much I hate Toshiba for the problems.  I've been looking for over 2 months for the fix, and noting works.  And to top it off Toshiba is NO help
[11:06] <Dr_Link> What do I type at the Terminal emulator to install g++?
[11:06] <DJAnubis> aaaaah
[11:06] <Zee1ot> vocx nothing in bios for anything about the wired interface
[11:06] <fedobuntu_us3r> try changing the driver in your xorg.conf from nv to nvidia
[11:06] <DJAnubis> I can't remove examples because it's all protected
[11:06] <jr_> Dr_Link, use synaptic
[11:06] <vocx> Zee1ot, sorry, but I can only think about that. Untimately the
[11:06] <DJAnubis> and it doesn't identify it when it's sudo'd
[11:06] <Dr_Link> ?
[11:06] <Dr_Link> jr_?
[11:06] <Dr_Link> What do you mean?
[11:07] <Flannel> Dr_Link: install the build-essential package, however you'd like.
[11:07] <vocx> Zee1ot, BIOS handles all hardware
[11:07] <Zee1ot> alright thanks
[11:07] <jr_> Dr_Link,  click system>admin>syanptic

[11:07] <fedobuntu_us3r> yeah
[11:07] <Dr_Link> Alright.
[11:07] <evan__> r u still there fedobuntu
[11:07] <vocx> DJAnubis, "sudo rm -r /path/some"  be careful when removing things with sudo.
[11:07] <fedobuntu_us3r> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20/+bug/82312
[11:07] <fedobuntu_us3r> I found this
[11:07] <Dr_Link> I'll do that when I'm booted into Ubuntu.
[11:07] <Dr_Link> =
[11:07] <evan__> hello
[11:07] <fedobuntu_us3r> yes, I'm here, evan__
[11:08] <DJAnubis> vocx rm -r /home/casey/Examples/ works, but sudo rm -r /home/casey/Examples/ doesn't
[11:08] <DJAnubis> it says "Not a Directory
[11:08] <Hacim07> Hi, what file controls what the PATH env varible is whe I start up bash?
 ------------ thats a chronic shame so maybe thereis no hope for me after all..... DAM i have to drag my tail between my legs back to windows
[11:08] <evan__> sorry i wasn't scrolled down
[11:09] <fedobuntu_us3r> that's okay
[11:09] <Micha2> it says they are the same
[11:09] <zabi1> How do i start an active desktop with vncserver?
[11:09] <vocx> Hacim07, .bashrc, and also the numerous .bash_profile, /etc/profiles and others
[11:09] <evan__> im kinda new to ubuntu
[11:09] <evan__> lead me in the right direction
[11:09] <fedobuntu_us3r> ummm...
[11:09] <DJAnubis> it's still not letting me delete it
[11:09] <fedobuntu_us3r> Let's see...
[11:09] <kitche> Hacim07: /etc/profile ~/.bashrc ~/.bash_profile and ~/.profile all the ones with ~ is for that user only
[11:10] <shadhoe> where does wine make its "my documents" folder for windows by default?
[11:10] <uenyioha> hi guys
[11:10] <shadhoe> or does it even?
[11:10] <uenyioha> are there x86 compatibility packages that need to be installed for x64 ubuntu?
[11:10] <uenyioha> im trying to install slickedit on x64 ubuntu and i seem to be having problems
[11:10] <zabi1> does anyone know how to use vncserver?
[11:11] <Hacim07> I checked in .bashrc .bash_profile /etc/profile /etc/bash.bashrc but there dosn't seem to be any reference to PATH in those places.
[11:11] <vocx> uenyioha, I guess so. Follow the guides to flash maybe?
[11:11] <DJAnubis> what's the default root info for ubuntu?
[11:11] <ootm> how can I force a reconfigure of the network adapter similar to the text-install for an ubuntu server install?? Its something like dpkg -something
[11:11] <fedobuntu_us3r> okay, evan__
[11:11] <evan__> so what is it that i need to do?
[11:11] <uenyioha> when i try to run the x86 executable i get this error message
[11:11] <fedobuntu_us3r> type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[11:11] <fedobuntu_us3r> then change "driver" to nvidia
[11:11] <vocx> Hacim07, no there is no reference. It seems PATH is precompiled in the system, not necessarily defined elsewhere. You can always override it.
[11:12] <uenyioha>  ./vsinst: No such file or directory
[11:12] <fedobuntu_us3r> wait a sec...
[11:13] <fedobuntu_us3r> evan__, when you installed your drivers, did you let Envy rewrite your xorg.conf?
[11:13] <evan__> yes
[11:13] <fedobuntu_us3r> ah
[11:13] <vocx> uenyioha, you need to set a chroot, because I think Ubuntu doesn't support dual architecture like that. I trick I read is also to use "linux32 program"
[11:13] <zabin> Does anyone know how to start an active desktop with vncserver?
[11:13] <evan__> i did what you said but it wont open the text file for some reason
[11:13] <Hacim07> vocx, so is automatically set to seach /usr/local/bin/first?
[11:14] <fedobuntu_us3r> well, I dunno
[11:14] <fedobuntu_us3r> did you check the forums?
[11:14] <evan__> about what you sent me
[11:14] <fedobuntu_us3r> ummmm...
[11:14] <zabin> when i vnc into my computer with vnc server i get a destop but there are no icons on it.
[11:14] <vocx> Hacim07, maybe to /bin and /sbin, later to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, and then the rest. That seems logical to me.
[11:14] <fedobuntu_us3r> about your bug/problem in general
[11:14] <evan__> got it working
[11:15] <fedobuntu_us3r> ah
[11:15] <thedash> is there a way to list every file that has an unknown character in its name ?
[11:15] <uenyioha> vocx thanks....its been a while since i used that command...forgot about it
[11:15] <reallyjoel> I know this is the wrong channel but: In OpenOffice 2.2,  I have a problem with my headers. All of a sudden the numbering starts over at 1, no matter where I add the new header.
[11:15] <evan__> its still loading but i had to do gksudo gedit
[11:15] <kitche> zabin: hang on I'll get what you want I have it in email
[11:15] <zabin> kitche: thanks
[11:16] <SubFreeze> Hello, hello.  How do I install a different X11 manager instead of the default that comes with Ubuntu Desktop?
[11:16] <ahmadsaifan_> Hello,  I cant connect to my wireless network with Wifi Radar
[11:16] <linuxbo1> what is the channel for ubuntu testing tribe .....
[11:16] <SubFreeze> (Point me to a manual entry, if there is one )
[11:16] <shadhoe> can anyone help me with some wine questions, or point me to a channel with people that can?
[11:16] <fedobuntu_us3r> subfreeze: you mean a different desktop environment?
[11:16] <bluefox83> is there any software that can help you build a gdm theme?
[11:16] <eTiger13> if I connect to a wireless network from a gui then switch to command line only, will I still be connected?
[11:16] <Hacim07> vocx, well seems my default is /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
[11:16] <bbrazil> eTiger13: yes
[11:16] <evan__> never mind it didnt work
[11:16] <zabin> shadhoe: winehq
[11:17] <fedobuntu_us3r> well, I'm not sure what to do
[11:17] <SubFreeze> hmmmm
[11:18] <vocx> Hacim07, yes, that's right.
[11:18] <kitche> zabin: http://pastebin.ca/654871
[11:18] <TheRF> Quick question - X Window Terminal - is that just a normal Terminal?
[11:18] <eTiger13> what do I neet to install on server to get a minimum gui going?
[11:19] <Hacim07> vocx,Ok thanks for your time I just thought having /usr/local/bin first was kindof annoying.
[11:19] <zabin> kitche: mine are already uncommented
[11:19] <zabin> kitche: my file also has someother stuff
[11:19] <kitche> zabin: do you have the xinitrc line uncommented also?
[11:20] <zabin> kitche: http://pastebin.ca/654874
[11:20] <kitche> zabin: the otehr stuff don't matter it's just those two lines that matter
[11:20] <vocx> Hacim07, having the local directories allows you to install local scripts and executables there, that is the idea.
[11:20] <Peace_Love_Pitbu> tiger
[11:20] <zabin> kitche: thats my file
[11:20] <Peace_Love_Pitbu> Anyone can help me with xchat?
[11:20] <Peace_Love_Pitbu> When someone do a whois on me, they can see my real name, where do I change that ?
[11:20] <zabin> kitche: all i get is a gray background.
[11:21] <albert> Hi... Are there any known bugs in Ubuntu related to problems when uploading through FTP???
[11:21] <kitche> zabin: what does /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc point to you can find out with ls -l /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[11:22] <vocx> albert, ha ha ha. That question is not specific enough. Try searching in launchpad.
[11:22] <hanz> Hello, how can i start a program on a specific desktop?
[11:22] <vdiazs> Hello. I have some problems configuring my wireless network card on edubuntu.  Is this the right place to ask for help?
[11:22] <vocx> !devilspie | I believe this thing does it
[11:22] <ubotu> I believe this thing does it: devilspie is a tool that performs actions on windows in GNOME's metacity such as resizing, positioning, and pinning.  Usage information can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie
[11:23] <zabin> kitche: that returned -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 224 2006-08-07 15:01 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[11:23] <drthunder> I have a dumb wine program that runs everytime I insert a cd, how do I stop this evil ?
[11:23] <hanz> cheers vocx
[11:23] <kitche> zabin: ok so it not a symlink it's probably just a file you have to open it in a text editor then to see what it says
[11:23] <ash_> Anyone know how to play a damn RMVB file :( VLC Mplayer totem dont seem to want to play it :(
[11:23] <vocx> vdiazs, yes. But make sure you have tried the Ubuntu documentation and wikis and forums first.
[11:23] <Nutubuntu> Peace_Love_Pitbu, server list (or google too)
[11:23] <kitche> zabin: since I m guessing it probably says exec twm
[11:24] <eduardo> hi
[11:24] <eduardo> i have a inspiron 1501 and the wifi work slow
[11:24] <zabin> kitche: http://pastebin.ca/654881
[11:24] <c0debreaker> hello for all :)
[11:25] <zabin> kitche: that my /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file.
[11:25] <kitche> zabin: do you want a gnome desktop though vnc?
[11:25] <zabin> kitche: yes
[11:26] <c0debreaker> FADE
[11:26] <TheRF> ash_: I've found a site which can help you with your problem.
[11:26] <vdiazs> It is a linksys wpc54gx4,  I was trying to install the ndiswrapper but when I run the make install it comes with an access denied message
[11:26] <ash_> TheRF, Link plllease?
[11:26] <TheRF> I've PM'ed it to you.
[11:26] <kitche> zabin: ok sudo nano or gksu gedit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc depending if you want a gui editor or not and add this exec gnome-session then save it and see if you get a gnome desktop then
[11:26] <vocx> vdiazs, "make install" moves things to system directories, you need to use "sudo make install"
[11:27] <TheRF> Quick question - X Window Terminal - is that just a normal Terminal?
[11:27] <zabin> kitche: that didnt work
[11:27] <kitche> zabin: or you cna change the ~/.vnc/xstartup to say exec ~/.xinitrc and put exec gnome-ession in the .xinitrc in your home directory
[11:28] <kitche> gnome-session*
[11:28] <vocx> TheRF, yes, although there is an older "xterm" which may be referred to in guides
[11:28] <zabin> kitche: i put exec gnome-session in/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[11:28] <TheRF> Thanks vocx.
[11:28] <zabin> kitche: it didnt do anything.
[11:29] <TheRF> ash_ did you get PM?
[11:29] <ash_> :( No dude
[11:29] <ahmadsaifan> Who here can help me?
[11:29] <vocx> !ask | ahmadsaifan
[11:29] <ubotu> ahmadsaifan: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:29] <zabin> ask | ahmadsaifan
[11:29] <ash_> ahmadsaifan, just ask the question
[11:29] <ahmadsaifan> im having problems using wifi radar
[11:30] <ash_> ahmadsaifan, did you try fixing it?
[11:30] <zabin> lol
[11:30] <ahmadsaifan> no
[11:30] <vocx> !doesnt work | ahmadsaifan
[11:30] <ubotu> ahmadsaifan: 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.
[11:30] <ahmadsaifan> I cant click connect
[11:30] <ahmadsaifan> Im try to disconnect from nothing, and i cant connect
[11:30] <zerokill88> anyone know a good website or link to where i can learn how to install packages from source???
[11:31] <zabin> ahmadsaifan: why not use network manager?
[11:31] <zabin> kitche: any other ideas
[11:31] <ahmadsaifan> it doenst work for me
[11:31] <chasetoys> i made a boo-boo.... while trying to fix my monitor resoloution, i removed the restricted driver manager... so now my wirelss card doesnt work :(.  ... i can't plug into a wire here... i can only use wireless.... however, i do have a laptop... what should i do?
[11:31] <TheRF> ash_: you should've got the message now
[11:31] <ahmadsaifan> it says im connected, but i cant go on the internet
[11:31] <vdiazs> Is correct an Error 2 message at the end of the process?
[11:31] <vocx> zerokill88, it is not hard, most guides for that are old, and besides most packages have a README or INSTALL files telling you what to do.
[11:31] <kitche> zabin: what is all in your /etc/X11/xinit folder is there by chance a xinit.gnome file?
[11:31] <ash_> TheRF, got it.. thanks bud
[11:31] <TheRF> np.
[11:32] <chasetoys> specifically the linux-restricted-modules
[11:32] <chasetoys> how can i get those back?
[11:32] <chasetoys> can i download them put them on a usb stick
[11:32] <chasetoys> and if so.. where can i get them
[11:32] <zabin> kitche: just xinitrc    xinput.d/  xserverrc
[11:32] <chasetoys> i do also have an ubuntu cd
[11:32] <zerokill88> vocx true, but when it says somehting like you need QT 3.2 or whatever, and you apt-cache search to install it, and theres like 20 different QT's, i want to know how to know what one to install
[11:32] <ahmadsaifan> network manager, does not allow me to gon on internet, i says im connected but i have no ip
[11:32] <B3nne> Hi, can someone help to install beryl please?
[11:33] <ahmadsaifan> and i cant do anything without innternet
[11:33] <vocx> chasetoys, search for an online repository. It has all .debs you could download.
[11:33] <ahmadsaifan> im on wired connection now
[11:33] <atlas95> hello
[11:33] <atlas95> someone use lvm + uswsusp ?
[11:33] <atlas95> i search what i must add in grub for resume
[11:33] <linuxbo1> somebody knows how to stop gdm at the boot time I am testint tribe 4....
[11:33] <ahmadsaifan> ...
[11:33] <kitche> zabin: or you can add exec gnome to your ~/.xinitrc if your using that in ~/.vnc/xstartup but I would remove exec gnome-session from your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file
[11:33] <chasetoys> vocx: i cant connect to internet.. cuz my wireless card needs the pcakgea i removed... ... and i cant plug in the wireed internet
[11:33] <atlas95> at start after suspend with uswsusp the system don't resume :s
[11:34] <chasetoys> vocx: which online repo
[11:34] <Squee> linuxbo1, When i want an init script to stop, i move it to /var, you could try that ( sudo mv /etc/init.d/gdm /var/gdm
[11:34] <kitche> zabin: had to look up on how to start gnome but that should do it at least from what I know if not then something is screwy :)
[11:34] <vocx> zerokill88, that information should be ultimately provided by the developer. He should say use "qt3.4" or something. I don't believe it is a huge confusion.
[11:34] <B3nne> can some1 help me install beryl?
[11:34] <macogw> B3nne: #ubuntu-effects
[11:34] <Squee> B3nne, beryl-project's site has a great wiki with tutorials
[11:35] <zabin> kitche: i already added exec gnome to my xintrc file...
[11:35] <ahmadsaifan> Ok, so noone here is to help?
[11:35] <vocx> chasetoys, if you are using Internet right now you can access those repositories
[11:35] <ahmadsaifan> can someone help me connect to my wifi?????
[11:35] <linuxbo1> Squee: I am dealing with tribe 4...future gibbon...  it's at the boot time ....
[11:35] <chasetoys> vocx: im on another comp
[11:35] <chasetoys> thats why i'm here
[11:35] <kitche> zabin: yes but is ~/.vnc/xstartup using it instead of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[11:35] <ahmadsaifan> Is there anyway i can restore to an earlier point???
[11:35] <Squee> linuxbo1, yes, i'm running as well.  Move the file there and it will not start at boot
[11:35] <jin_> hi
[11:36] <jin_> how do you change the default icon size for ubuntu (gnome)?
[11:36] <zabin> kitche: how would i find that out.
[11:36] <linuxbo1> Squee: I have a live cd :S
[11:36] <vocx> chasetoys, exactly, you can browse those repositories from your current computer, download the files and move them to your own laptop.
[11:36] <ahmadsaifan> ......
[11:36] <Squee> linuxbo1, What exactly are you trying to do?
[11:36] <jr_> jin, system>preferences at the top
[11:37] <Squee> linuxbo1, And if you dont want an x server when you install, use the alternate cd
[11:37] <linuxbo1> Squee: to test tribe 4 to report a bug on at X700 card ...
[11:37] <ahmadsaifan> how can i change my homepage and connect to my WIFI???
[11:37] <chasetoys> vocx: which version of the linux-restricted-modules do i want
[11:37] <Squee> linuxbo1, Does it start in safe graphics mode?
[11:37] <BBommarito> I have a quick question: I'm installing via the livecd right now. The resolution that it's detecting is 800x600 and 640x480. Now, after checking xorg.conf it shows up to the proper resolution, any reason gnome/x isn't reading that properly?
[11:37] <linuxbo1> Squee: I want to stop gdm and change the xorg.cong then try it....
[11:37] <linuxbo1> Squee: no :(
[11:38] <kitche> zabin: by looking at ~/.vnc/xstartup
[11:38] <Squee> linuxbo1, Then i dont know :/.  I have an x800, so I have similar problems.
[11:38] <jin_> jr_, I can't see anything related to icons
[11:38] <linuxbo1> Squee: on testing channels nobody responds :S
[11:38] <ahmadsaifan> CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME
[11:38] <vocx> chasetoys, I don't know, I guess if you are using feisty you must go 2.6.20
[11:38] <kitche> zabin: if it still says exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc change it to /home/<user>/.xinitrc where user is your username on the machine it might work that way at least it should
[11:39] <jr_> kk well i thought if u go to font and increase the size the icons do also
[11:39] <linuxbo1> Squee:  you have upgraded your feisty ?
[11:39] <vocx> !please | ahmadsaifan
[11:39] <ubotu> ahmadsaifan: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience
[11:39] <vocx> !patience | ahmadsaifan

[11:39] <Squee> linuxbo1, I installed fresh with the cd

[11:39] <ahmadsaifan> i need help connecting to my wifi
[11:40] <linuxbo1> ahmadsaifan: use network manager....no ?
[11:40] <jerbear> can someone tell me what the purpose of the "backup" user is?
[11:40] <Pelo> !wifi | ahmadsaifan
[11:40] <ubotu> ahmadsaifan: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:40] <dellubuntu_> ahmad:
[11:40] <ahmadsaifan> I tried using network manager, but now i use wifi radar
[11:40] <Squee> linuxbo1, No, i'm running an nvidia in this computer, but I have another with an x800 (alternate install allows it to work)
[11:40] <BBommarito> jerbear: Typically backup is used for...well backup programs:)
[11:40] <linuxbo1> ahmadsaifan: network manager doesn't work ?
[11:40] <Pelo> jerbear, I don'T have a backup user, maybe you installed someting that created one
[11:40] <Spaz1331> !fixres
[11:40] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:40] <Squee> linuxbo1, Actuallly, what you could try is in the boot options, add "single".  that shouldn't start with an x server.  Then you could test the x server as root
[11:40] <riyonuk> How do I install emerald? Its not in the repos
[11:40] <ahmadsaifan> when i use network manager, it keeps asking me for my password for my wifi and it shows im connected
[11:41] <ahmadsaifan> but i have no internet connection
[11:41] <Fezzler> Can I use a serial to USB cable with linux/Ubuntu?
[11:41] <yeniklasor> is it possible to download a file from rapidshare.com to a ubuntu server edition server?
[11:41] <Pelo> riyonuk, ask in #beryl or #compiz-fusion
[11:41] <linuxbo1> Squee: ok thks ;)
[11:41] <linuxbo1> Squee: in the alternate there is no xorg server ?
[11:42] <jerbear> BBommarito, Pelo: i'm running feisty... the home directory for the user is /var/backups, and it contains what looks to be backups of dpkg, shadow, passwd, etc... are you sure this doesn't come as default?
[11:42] <Flannel> linuxbo1: the alternate installer runs in a terminal (text GUI sort of menu thing), but it installs a GUI install (unless you tell it not to)
[11:42] <kitche> zabin: you might have to restart vncserver as well :)
[11:42] <dseom1> does anybody know of a program that can edit avi files (motion jpeg, uncompressed audio according to totem)? I want to do simple stuff like crop the videos, combine multiple files into one, and add text
[11:42] <noelferreira> i tried to connect via ssh to a computer in my lan and i get this error: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

[11:42] <noelferreira> . can you hrlp mr?
[11:42] <Flannel> noelferreira: don't paste here, thanks
[11:42] <riyonuk> ok
[11:42] <nalioth> !paste | noelferreira
[11:42] <ubotu> noelferreira: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:42] <jerbear> BBommarito, Pelo: i have 3 machines running the same version of ubuntu... all of them have backup users
[11:42] <Pelo> jerbear, where do you get the info that tells you there is a backup user ? it's not in my user list
[11:43] <linuxbo1> ahmadsaifan: what do you mean by you have no internet connection ?
[11:43] <BBommarito> jerbear: Yea, I see it even on the livecd.
[11:43] <nalioth> noelferreira: pasting into an irc channel is not only rude, but it's useless.  pastebins last forever, irc channels flow like a swift river
[11:43] <ahmadsaifan> I cant do anything with internet needed, im on wired connection now using network manager
[11:43] <jerbear> Pelo: cat /etc/passwd | grep backup
[11:43] <nixternal> noelferreira: you need to remove the key that is being referenced from ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[11:43] <linuxbo1> Flannel: ok so no graphical interface ?
[11:43] <shadhoe> I have a png Im trying to set as an icon for a launcher, but for whatever reason the icon browser in the launcher creation gui wont recognize it
[11:43] <shadhoe> any ideas?
[11:43] <BBommarito> jerbear: Trying to remember what that is for now....
[11:44] <linuxbo1> ahmadsaifan: have you ever had internet connection on ubuntu ?
[11:44] <logreeval> Whenever I play 3d games such as torcs , my sound gets realllly crackly, choppy, and popping........does someone here know how to fix this?
[11:44] <Flannel> linuxbo1: for the install, yeah.
[11:44] <ahmadsaifan> yes, once
[11:44] <nixternal> noelferreira: all that means is that the server you are ssh'ing into has changed its key, and you have a different key in your known_hosts
[11:44] <Flannel> linuxbo1: of course, it's still graphical, just without X, using a curses interface
[11:44] <shadhoe> logreeval, I have that problem too
[11:44] <ahmadsaifan> but it went away with rebooting
[11:44] <Pelo> jerbear, ok I get a line there but there is no backups in my user list,  I would leave it alone
[11:44] <ff> Hi, I have laptop with x1250 and X dont work even with vesa, how to fix it ?
[11:44] <ahmadsaifan> i have to use wired connection
[11:44] <jerbear> BBommarito, Pelo: my ultimate question was whether or not it was safe to use that same user for my own system backups.... i went to create a user called 'backup' and it told me that it already existed :)
[11:44] <shadhoe> but the crackling sound is everywhere, and it seems to be on loud sounds
[11:44] <ash_> umm.. how do you get fullscreen to work on mplayer again?
[11:44] <nob> any one now how to get sound juicer extract into mp3?
[11:44] <shadhoe> are you using onboard sound?
[11:44] <noelferreira> and the nixternal? i have to create other key? how could that happen (the key change?) )?
[11:44] <logreeval> shadhoe yes
[11:44] <shadhoe> me too
[11:44] <nixternal> noelferreira: if you look closely to that error message you will see a line number that contains the key in question
[11:45] <Pelo> jerbear, call it bckup or something
[11:45] <linuxbo1> Flannel: just for the install but that installs xserver... when you reboot after the install you run gdm or kdm....
[11:45] <shadhoe> I have an x-fi but, apparently no support for it, Im hoping quality improves when creative finally gets drivers for it =/
[11:45] <ash_> ohh found it
[11:45] <logreeval> shadhoe: it just happens on games...not really on music or videos
[11:45] <noelferreira> ya i see nixternal. should i use that one?
[11:45] <nixternal> noelferreira: no, no need to create another key..all you have to do is edit the ~/.ssh/known_hosts and remove the key in there
[11:45] <noelferreira> ok nixternal . thanks
[11:45] <nixternal> edit the known_hosts on the computer you are ssh'ing from
[11:45] <shadhoe> it happens to me with loud stuff
[11:45] <linuxbo1> Flannel: sorry I missed a message :D
[11:46] <shadhoe> I googled around for an hour or so one day trying to find some solutions but didnt have any luck
[11:46] <logreeval> same here
[11:46] <BBommarito> Blah, this would be so much easier if I wasn't stuck in 800x600 purgatory...hopefully it's just a livecd glitch.
[11:46] <shadhoe> sound has been my only negative in my migration from windows to ubuntu =/
[11:46] <reya276> Can anyone help me install the proprietary ATI Drivers
[11:46] <logreeval> :-\
[11:46] <linuxbo1> ahmadsaifan: but never using the wifi
[11:47] <shadhoe> I do wish I could get compiz-fusion working though
[11:47] <shadhoe> it doesnt seem to like the dual display setup
[11:47] <logreeval> it works for me...i just use beryl, thats fine
[11:47] <Pelo> reya276,  start with the restricted drivers in the admin menu
[11:47] <shadhoe> are you doing dual display?
[11:47] <logreeval> no ;)
[11:47] <ahmadsaifan> linuxboi, you still helping me?
[11:47] <linos2> does anyone know why PCLinux user ratings is growing fast behind Ubuntu on distrowatch?
[11:47] <shadhoe> I have a monitor and an lcd tv
[11:47] <linuxbo1> ahmadsaifan: yeah ...
[11:47] <TheMafia> I just upgraded to feisty and firefox is crashing on sf.net  I loads a  good deal of the page before crashing, anyone else seen this?
[11:47] <ahmadsaifan> ok..
[11:47] <shadhoe> either or works fine with just one display active
[11:47] <shadhoe> but not with both
[11:47] <shadhoe> booo =(
[11:47] <noelferreira> nixternal, the file is full of strange chars and i don't know what key to delete. edited the file from  the pc that i am trying to make the connection nixternal
[11:47] <logreeval> :-\
[11:48] <Fezzler> My VPN cleint works with my wired router but not my wireless?  Wireless works with Internet, just not VPN?
[11:48] <reya276> no I don't want the OpenSource Drivers because they don't allow me to Play all my #D games correct, I have the restricted drivers installed now
[11:48] <Pelo> linos2, because linux users are always up to try something new ?
[11:48] <nixternal> noelferreira: are you familiar with vi/vim?
[11:48] <logreeval> well if no one here knows how to fix crackling sound........
[11:48] <linuxbo1> ahmadsaifan: you can connect to you access point ?
[11:48] <nerve> would anyone know how i can get international characters to display correctly in my terminal?
[11:48] <ahmadsaifan> yes
[11:48] <ahmadsaifan> i have to use wired connection
[11:48] <linuxbo1> ok you can ping your router ?
 ok thanks
[11:48] <jrib> yeniklasor: maybe with a browser that supports javascript like links2
[11:48] <linuxbo1> you are using wired or wifi connection ?
[11:49] <BBommarito> TheMafia: SF.net acts weird on Firefox period...both on Windows and on Linux, which is why I have stopped using them for my projects.
[11:49] <ahmadsaifan> im using wired now
[11:49] <ahmadsaifan> i need wifi though
[11:49] <Pelo> nerve,  in the gnome-terminal try changing under terminal  caracter coding
[11:49] <reya276> is there a room where people help you with graphics drivers?
[11:49] <ahmadsaifan> how can i disable gnome network manager?
[11:49] <linuxbo1> ok but you wish to get wifi working
[11:49] <linuxbo1> ahmadsaifan: why do you want to disable gnome network :S
[11:49] <Pelo> reya276, the ppl in #ubuntu-effects are usualy good at graphical stuff
[11:50] <linuxbo1>  ahmadsaifan: can you pong your router ?
[11:50] <nerve> Pelo, its in utf8, shouldn't that just work?
[11:50] <ahmadsaifan> because, before  on here, people tell me it pokes around my wireless card
[11:50] <ahmadsaifan> how can i ping my router?
[11:50] <Pelo> nerve,  it should but if it is not try the others
[11:50] <linuxbo1> go to a terminal
[11:50] <reya276> yeah I'll try there but they only help you if you need to install Beryl or Compiz
[11:50] <jrib> ahmadsaifan: tried system -> preferences -> session?
[11:50] <linuxbo1> and use the command ping
[11:50] <Pelo> nerve, you can maybe also check in your language support dialog box in  the  system > prefs and in the font menu
[11:50] <whiter> is there a recent guide on how to set up xgl on ubuntu/xubuntu out?
[11:50] <reya276> how much does it cost for Canonical support?

[11:51] <ahmadsaifan> it wont let me see the connection information
[11:52] <reallyjoel> I have had Ubuntu for one day now, and I have to say that I like it. Haven't been using linux for 10 years, but I'll probably only be using Widnows for games from now on.
[11:52] <reya276> jrib: this is for the driver I already have installed which is the restricted driver, I want to install the driver that was just released by ATI
[11:52] <ahmadsaifan> is there anyway you guys can remote control my laptop? to fix it your selfs?

[11:56] <reya276> which is not fair on those like me who continue to try and use linux but because of not knowing how things get done, get frustrated, can you really blame me?
[11:56] <linuxbo1> ahmadsaifan: be patient ......
[11:56] <jrib> reya276: it's ok, no one was reprimanding you, just letting you know
[11:56] <ahmadsaifan> ok

[11:57] <linuxbo1> ahmadsaifan: if you want to make it work you have to plug out your wired connection ...
[11:57] <thedash> anybody know of a good way to return all files with any 'unknown' characters in their names ?

[11:58] <ahmadsaifan> connect to my wifi???
[11:58] <vocx> !prefix | reya276
[11:58] <ubotu> reya276: 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
[11:58] <navets> does anyone know if there is a way to make kde use some kind of visual effect when switching desktops?
[11:58] <VSpike> should I use apache or apache2 ?
[11:58] <vocx> !who | reya276
[11:58] <ubotu> reya276: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[11:58] <linuxbo1> yeah you will lose .. you test and you come back to tell me what happened ?
[11:58] <ahmadsaifan> if i try to connect to wifi, it connects, and then keeps asking my for my network key every 2 mintes
[11:58] <reya276> and I have tried to answer them, I need to install the proprietary ATI drivers new released. I tried doing so last time and I crashed my system, so I'm trying to avoid that
[11:58] <ahmadsaifan> and i cant do anything
[11:58] <Pelo> reya276, you want to use the new ati driver , fine,  did you check the ati website for the new driver  ? there should be some explanation to what card is supported, start by checking that,   if you can run it on your system   dl the file , read the instructions and we will do our best to help you with anyting you can'T manage on your own
[11:59] <ahmadsaifan> ok, ill be back
[11:59] <linuxbo1> ahmadsaifan: ok you have what kind of encryption
[11:59] <linuxbo1> ahmadsaifan: wpa or wpe ?
[11:59] <ahmadsaifan> Be right back linuxbo1
[11:59] <reya276> Pelo: yes I downloaded the drivers
[11:59] <Pelo> reya276, what format ?
[12:00] <reya276> it is a bin file, but once I run it, it has an installer
[12:00] <Pelo> reya276, bin files usualy are,
[12:00] <Pelo> reya276,  and it crached you system ?
[12:01] <reya276> the issue Is that once install it conflicts with the restricted driver
