[12:01] <wolferine> shk, control, yeah, use vnc
[12:01] <shk> like, which one?
[12:02] <shk> oh nevermind, hamachi has a linux version
[12:02] <shk> thank you
[12:02] <IndyGunFreak> Branden: hmm, just make sure i understand your setup right, . 2 hard drives, 1 has Windows installed one big partition, Drive 2, has 1 windows partition, and an Ubuntu partition.
[12:02] <wolferine> shk, sudo aptitude install xvncviewer vncserver
[12:02] <gcostello> joebob777as7: tar cvf file`date '+%m%d'`.tar files_to_tar
[12:02] <Branden> the first hd has two windows partitiones
[12:03] <Branden> so a total of 4 OS's are installed ont his system
[12:03] <IndyGunFreak> Branden: hmm, i wonder if grub somehow got put on the wrong windows partition?
[12:03] <IndyGunFreak> Branden: so you have 4 OS's?  What OS's?
[12:04] <Branden> IndyGunFreak: windows 2000, windows me, windows 2000, ubuntu
[12:04] <IndyGunFreak> Branden: why do you have two copies of win2k?  and why on earth woudl you have winme?  thats like a big windows virus.
[12:04] <dorota> Branden: try downsizing the two windows 2000's into one on one partition, then have ubuntu on its own hd
[12:04] <IndyGunFreak> dorota: or, Win2k on one drive, and Ubuntu on the other, or something like that
[12:05] <IndyGunFreak> i suspect all those versions of windows is the issue, how to fix it, i have no idea.
[12:05] <dorota> IndyGunFreak: if he wants Windows ME, it's his call.
[12:05] <Branden> IndyGunFreak: the win2k must remain seperate, and i am unsure of winme at this time
[12:05] <IndyGunFreak> dorota: sure he can keep it, he can do whatever he wants, but Windows Me i believe stands for Windows MEss  it was by far the most glitchy windows OS in this era
[12:06] <higgylm> im looking for the  gtk+ dev files can anyone help
[12:06] <Branden> dorota: trust me i know winme is not healthy for any pc.  But i know i need separate environments for labview
[12:06] <IndyGunFreak> Branden: sorry, i've never setup Ubuntu to boot multiple Windows Distros, and Ubuntu, I've booted Windows XP, and multiple linux distros, n prob.
[12:07] <dorota> Branden: you could use ubuntu and windows 2000, they're seperate environments enough
[12:07] <gcostello> higgylm: aptitude search libgtk|grep dev
[12:07] <higgylm> gcostello, thanks
[12:07] <phiqtion> are partial upgrades safe?
[12:07] <IndyGunFreak> dorota: thats what i was thinking.. use 2k for whatever lab work he needs, and ubuntu for every day stuff.
[12:07] <Branden> dorota:  but i cannot install labview in ubuntu.  The problem is different versions and licenses for each copy.  One is for experemental builds while the other is for distribution
[12:08] <Branden> dorota: so 2 win2k installs are needed
[12:08] <Falstius> Branden: there is labview for linux :)
[12:09] <ILive4Linux> ello peeps
[12:09] <dorota> Branden: why the two modes seperate?
[12:09] <Branden> Falstius: the recent 8.0 labview was purchased before i joined the company.  I am making the push for a linux transition
[12:10] <ahmadsaifan> What is beryl brainstorm?
[12:10] <ahmadsaifan> #beryl #ubuntu-effects
[12:10] <Branden> dorota:  labview 8.0 tries to upgrade out version 6.  We do not have the rights to distribute programs assembled with 8.0
[12:11] <ahmadsaifan> What is beryl Brainstorm
[12:12] <dorota> Branden: Alright, so you're sure there's no way you can downsize the # of windows?
[12:12] <lajujkej> Quick question: I am running debian on my laptop and have a good xorg file for my external monitor and a good xorg file for my onboard LCD, but how would I go about unifying them so I can use my crt/lcd toggle switch.
[12:12] <wolferine> lajujkej, do it manually

[12:14] <dorota> Branden: what was the original problem you had with your setup?
[12:14] <Branden> dorota: I am sure i can get rid of winme.  I just need to transfer some files.  Grub 17 error
[12:15] <ILive4Linux> i have a problem with google earth. it installs fine, and gets to the initalizations creen, and never gets past that
[12:15] <Branden> dorota: right now i am trying to figure things out in grub.  Taking a look at the boot setup.
[12:15] <Falstius> Branden: I haven't run multiple MS OS in many years, but you might have better luck with the windows boot loader (boot.ini) instead of grub.
[12:15] <lajujkej> wolferine the only problem is that to get my widescreen to work, I had to mess with /etc/default/915resolution, so I can either use one screen or the other
[12:16] <dorota> Branden: Try this link. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945
[12:16] <Branden> Falstius: i have absolutely no idea how to get ubuntu booting with boot.ini.  I will take a look.  That comp is currently running on livecd so i can view files
[12:17] <wolferine> lajujkej, i thought this was a quick question requiring a quick answer?
[12:17] <wastedfluid> Hi guys.  Running an Acer 5100, and ubunut 7.04.  Having volume issues.. any idea where to start?  I tried google.
[12:17] <Falstius> Branden: it isn't so hard
[12:17] <wolferine> wastedfluid, did you adjust the volume?
[12:17] <Falstius> Branden: but you can also setup grub to boot 'windows' and then windows boot.ini to select between multiple OS.
[12:17] <wastedfluid> wolferine; lol, yes.  The volume is all the way up, and it's incredibly quiet.
[12:18] <dorota> wastedfluid: there are several different "toggles" for your volume.
[12:18] <cwgannon> i've an external HD that won't auto-mount when i turn it on after logging in to ubuntu -- can somebody please walk me through making it do so?
[12:18] <Amrac> Bonsoir
[12:18] <Branden> Falstius: ok, i am going to go on that computer and tr to hammer some things out
[12:18] <ILive4Linux> i have a problem with google earth. it installs fine, and gets to the initalizations creen, and never gets past that
[12:18] <ndo> hey, guys, on my default 7.04 box, BitTorrent downloads one torrent at a time(yes, ive openned some port from terminal), but if i open onemore it says error 98 alredy in use.. whats the problem, in the past version i was able to use more at a time..?
[12:18] <lajujkej> wolferine perhaps I should mess around a bit more.  I guess I wanted to know if placing multiple monitors and screens in xorg is the normal way to configure an external monitor in a laptop
[12:19] <wastedfluid> dorota;  I know, and i use alsamixer.. but here's the problem.  On reboot, it resets the "front mi" to like 50%.  I can change that by opening up alsamixer in a terminal and upping that volume.. but it's a pain in the ass.  any idea how to autostart and change that volume?
[12:20] <lysdexsik2> Amrac, bonsoir
[12:20] <dorota> wastedfluid: that's a little beyond my skill level, but I think a script to set that for you would help, or try messing around with other settings for volume
[12:20] <dorota> wastedfluid: could take you a few days, but eventually *something* will work
[12:20] <Amrac> Sans vouloir paraitre impolie, il y aurait-il des franais? (Ou un chat pour les francais?)
[12:20] <dorota> wastedfluid: it's what I've always done.
[12:21] <wastedfluid> dorota;  i guess I'll just make an executable script .. if i can check figure out the command to up the volume via alsamixer
[12:21] <spanglesontoast> need some help with grub
[12:21] <MISTERTibbs> is there a french IRC for amrac??
[12:21] <spanglesontoast> I hate setting it up lol, but the partition is on hda5 and I can't remember how to specify the hd bit
[12:21] <spanglesontoast> in the menu.lst
[12:21] <Amrac> I search a french IRC yes
[12:21] <wastedfluid> spanglesontoast; hm.  I remember right.. let me try this myself before I tell you.
[12:21] <gcostello> Amrac: va sur #ubuntu-fr
[12:22] <Amrac> Thanks :-)
[12:22] <spanglesontoast> ok
[12:22] <wastedfluid> spanglesontoast; browse to /boot/grub on your "hda5" and type "grub"
[12:22] <gcostello> amrac: de rien :-)
[12:22] <Amrac> Good bye
[12:22] <spanglesontoast> no I mean I need to specify it for winblows...
[12:23] <PriceChild> spanglesontoast, what is winblows sorry:?
[12:23] <MISTERTibbs> PriceChild, redmond xp
[12:23] <spanglesontoast> lol
[12:23] <seanj> Winblows = Windows
[12:23] <wastedfluid> spanglesontoast; Oh lord.  I have no idea.. sorry.  check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromKnoppix
[12:23] <PriceChild> oh an attempt at humour?
[12:23] <spanglesontoast> no
[12:23] <spanglesontoast> we all call it here
[12:23] <_nixMan> what's the difference between ubuntu and xubuntu?
[12:23] <wastedfluid> I'm pretty sure that article shows you how to make grub install itself as the main MBR with auto detect for other os's
[12:23] <PriceChild> _nixMan, a different desktop environment
[12:23] <mneptok> _nixMan: exactly one consonant
[12:23] <PriceChild> _nixMan, use the live cds of each to see what they feel like.
[12:23] <wastedfluid> _nixMan; it's your desktop environment.  gnome, kde
[12:24] <PriceChild> mneptok, meanie :)
[12:24] <IndyGunFreak> mneptok: lol
[12:24] <MISTERTibbs> _nixMan, xubuntu uses a different desktop environment than ubuntu.  otherwise almost identical
[12:24] <PriceChild> _nixMan, you can still install the same applications on each
[12:24] <dho_ragus> desktop environment?  we don't need no stinking desktop environment :P
[12:24] <_nixMan> so ubuntu is only gnome?
[12:24] <SuperLag> If a package is broken, and the --force option doesn't work, what other options do you have for fixing said package?
[12:24] <PriceChild> _nixMan, depends which "ubuntu" you are talking about
[12:24] <wastedfluid> Well, Ubuntu comes with gnome.
[12:24] <wastedfluid> But it's very easy to switch to kde, etc.
[12:24] <dho_ragus> _nixMan: gnome is the only WM installed, but you can install any of the other ones afterwards.
[12:24] <MISTERTibbs> _nixMan, gnome is the default but you can install other desktop
[12:25] <_nixMan> PriceChild: i'm talking about just "ubuntu"
[12:25] <wastedfluid> Ubuntu = Gnome.
[12:25] <IndyGunFreak> _nixMan: then yes, ubuntu is gnome
[12:25] <PriceChild> _nixMan, ubuntu the distribution (all packages in repository) or ubuntu the release (gnome desktop ubuntu) ? :)
[12:25] <_nixMan> by desktop environments you guys mean gnome, kde, fvwm, and that kinda stuff right?
[12:25] <wastedfluid> _nixMan; Yes.
[12:26] <wastedfluid> that's the only difference.. they're almost identical after the gui looks :-)
[12:26] <IndyGunFreak> _nixMan: go here  http://shots.osdir.com/     and look at different screenshots for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, what you see, is likely gonna be the only differences.. *under the hood* they are the same
[12:26] <_nixMan> so if i install kde on ubuntu then thats like having ubuntu and kubuntu together?
[12:26] <spanglesontoast> hmm it's set to the correct place
[12:26] <spanglesontoast> could the boot.ini be toasted ?
[12:26] <wastedfluid> _nixMan; well, It's going to be a mess.
[12:26] <wastedfluid> Because you're going to have kde programs, and gnome programs..and your desktop will be a hell of a mess.
[12:26] <MISTERTibbs> _nixMan, you'd have  a dual desktop environment
[12:27] <_nixMan> why is it going to be a mess? most distros let you have more than 1 desktop environment
[12:27] <IndyGunFreak> _nixMan: sorta, but thats a pain, you'll have 4k KDE apps in your gnome menu, and the same with KDE and gnome apps.
[12:27] <wastedfluid> try it and see :-)
[12:27] <wastedfluid> I've done this before.. lol.
[12:27] <_nixMan> i'm on suse and i have 3 installed, gnome, kde, and xfge
[12:27] <joebob777as7> gcostello, thank you!
[12:27] <dho_ragus> _nixMan: it's not that much of a mess
[12:27] <MISTERTibbs> _nixMan, there is script that will keep the gnome/kde apps separate.  google
[12:27] <dho_ragus> _nixMan: sure, it's a lot messier underneath, but it's not all that bad.
[12:27] <wastedfluid> I'd like to switch to KDE myself
[12:27] <dho_ragus> i think you should do it wastedfluid.  you only live once!
[12:28] <wastedfluid> dho_ragus;  lol.  Well, installing KDE is easy.
[12:28] <wastedfluid> but, what happens after you remove gnome.. and you have programs like gftp installed
[12:28] <IndyGunFreak> KDE is the devil
[12:28] <wastedfluid> that's what I didn' thave the balls to find out :-)
[12:28] <MISTERTibbs> dho_ragus, just use live CD and make up your mind which distro you prefer
[12:28] <dho_ragus> MISTERTibbs: huh?
[12:28] <ndo> hey, guys, nobody can help me? :( i cant find any info on forums. only advice to use other torrent clients ;(
[12:28] <foey> hey, anyone know of a decent front end or application for Ubuntu which is like XP Media Centre?
[12:29] <wastedfluid> i'd love to switch to kde though.  kde has always been a preference.. look wise.  I'm just too chicken to install KDE, and attempt to remove gnome.
[12:29] <MISTERTibbs> dho_ragus, sorry meant the other guy, lol
[12:29] <dho_ragus> LOL
[12:29] <PriceChild> foey, linuxmce
[12:29] <freeman163> whats media center again?
[12:29] <IndyGunFreak> wastedfluid: i dont' know how anyone uses kde
[12:29] <wastedfluid> IndyGunFreak; I think it's purrrty
[12:29] <foey> PriceChild : Any good?
[12:29] <dho_ragus> i do it with ssh -Y ...  startkde
[12:30] <_nixMan> google desktop is an os?
[12:30] <PriceChild> foey, http://linuxmce.org/ :)
[12:30] <IndyGunFreak> wastedfluid: i consider it completely unuseable.
[12:30] <IndyGunFreak> _nixMan: no, its a desktop applet
[12:30] <ndo> hello, am i muted or something -.-
[12:30] <IndyGunFreak> ndo: yes, you're muted
[12:30] <dho_ragus> ndo: definitely muted.
[12:31] <wastedfluid> ndo: but of course :-)
[12:31] <wayoutthere> Hi I need to use shockwave and I have found no way to do so on linux. Is there a way to install IE and use shockwave through that?
[12:31] <ndo> IndyGnuFreak: hehe
[12:31] <foey> PriceChild : Is that a new distro? I wanted something for Ubuntu, which I could possibly install, if poss
[12:31] <_nixMan> what's another os similar to ubuntu?
[12:31] <eontastico> would there be any reason that a certain piece of software will install and run on a debian machine but not an ubuntu server edition machine
[12:31] <PriceChild> foey, its meant to be an addon... i'm trying to find the repositories
[12:31] <eontastico> it's text based, has no dependencies
[12:32] <PriceChild> foey, maybe its just based on ubuntu
[12:32] <seanj> _nixMan: BLAG, Fedora, Debian
[12:32] <PriceChild> foey, gimme a minute :)
[12:32] <IndyGunFreak> _nixMan: debian
[12:32] <IndyGunFreak> seanj: fedora?..lol
[12:32] <foey> PriceChild : ty :)
[12:32] <seanj> IndyGunFreak: not that I use it or anything
[12:32] <seanj> :S lol
[12:32] <PriceChild> foey, i wouldn't mind doing it myself :)
[12:32] <_nixMan> isn't fedora pretty much redhat?
[12:32] <wastedfluid> _nixMan;  Deep question.  All of the 2.6's are almost alike anywho. each one just has one or two different features os wise.
[12:32] <IndyGunFreak> Fedora IS WAY different from ubuntu/debian
[12:32] <seanj> _nixMan: yeah pretty much< i just compare them because of the default GNOME desktop
[12:32] <wastedfluid> fedora.. ack
[12:33] <seanj> BLAG is pretty awesome
[12:33] <IndyGunFreak> seanj: but cosmetics is where it ends
[12:33] <wayoutthere> anyone know a way to use Shockwave on linux?
[12:33] <seanj> based on Fedora though
[12:33] <ndo> so, guys, nobody have any idea how to solve a problem in deffauld Feisty's BitTorrent client with error 98? or do i have to follow the advice on the forums and install that slow and nasty azureus? -.-
[12:33] <_nixMan> just because they have the gnome desktop doesn't make them similar at all
[12:33] <seanj> IndyGunFreak: I'm sorry I said anything now :P
[12:33] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[12:33] <_nixMan> does debian come with a working gnome off the shelf or is it hard to configure?
[12:33] <wastedfluid> ndo; There are lots of bit torret clients.
[12:33] <IndyGunFreak> !shockwave | wayoutthere
[12:33] <ubotu> wayoutthere: Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[12:33] <killown> how do i to enable any flags gcc for optmization in dpkg-buildpackage "it compile package in i386 architecture whithout my flags gcc"?
[12:34] <ftoo_on_gutsy> ndo you better off using utorrent under wine...
[12:34] <ndo> but, the problem is, im more than happy with exactly thisone default, lightweight BitTorrent client, why cant i just fix the problem?:)
[12:34] <IndyGunFreak> ndo: i really like Ktorrent
[12:34] <dho_ragus> ndo: do other torrents work?
[12:34] <vocx> _nixMan, Ubuntu is not Debian. Nevertheless, yes Gnome has everything.
[12:34] <CharlieSu> Anyone use SVN version of mythtv and ubuntu 7.04 ?  I'm looking for a good howto on installing it
[12:35] <IndyGunFreak> !mythtv
[12:35] <ubotu> MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[12:35] <IndyGunFreak> CharlieSu: but be forewarned, its a pain in the rear
[12:35] <foey> PriceChild : Ive just rigged up my linux box to my LCD Tv, looks great as it has a VGA, Just wanting to see what its like as a media centre
[12:35] <ndo> i dont want other torrents cuz i c alredy here, numerous ppl advising everyone thyr own fav. torrent client, same as on forums hehe
[12:35] <CharlieSu> IndyGunFreak: why so?
[12:35] <vocx> !best | ndo
[12:35] <ubotu> ndo: 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.
[12:35] <spanglesontoast> is there any easier way rather than restoring the mbr...?
[12:35] <IndyGunFreak> CharlieSu: just was, i never got it to work, and watch TV via VLC now.
[12:35] <dho_ragus> ndo: no, i mean does another torrent *file* work with your preferred torrent client?
[12:36] <christian> What am I gonna do to play off Quick-time movies at this page? http://www.vx1000.com/footage.htm
[12:36] <CharlieSu> IndyGunFreak: i have it running on a Gentoo box now..  not trunk though
[12:36] <IndyGunFreak> CharlieSu: then by all means, have at it.
[12:36] <macaholic> christian install mplayer
[12:36] <PriceChild> foey, i'm thinking maybe easier to go with mythtv
[12:37] <IndyGunFreak> christian: theyre playing fine in mplayer
[12:37] <PriceChild> foey, the documentation on the wiki is getting amazing for t

[12:37] <spanglesontoast> anyone ?
[12:37] <macaholic> u can install it via automatix
[12:37] <ndo> dho_ragnu: yes, im downloading one torrent atm, and if i open another i get Error 98 'Adres alredy in use' , but in past versions ive used this client, for more torrents simultaneusly
[12:37] <_nixMan> anyone know how to setup a software raid 1 after i setup my ubuntu installation on 1 disk?
[12:37] <ajmorris_> macaholic, please do not suggest for people to use automatix :)

[12:38] <ndo> dho_ragus*
[12:38] <macaholic> idk it has worked for me
[12:38] <IndyGunFreak> christian: its impressive.

[12:38] <MISTERTibbs> everything I've read clearly indicates that using automatix is a bad idea!  Don't understand why people keep advocating its use.
[12:39] <christian> But where or what is automatix, I don't find it at my pc when I search for it
[12:39] <the_walrus> Because people are too lazy to learn the correct way to do things

[12:39] <foey> PriceChild : ok, ive heard of Myth TV, that just like Ubuntu?
[12:39] <ajmorris_> automatix breaks debian systems, its as simple as that
[12:39] <PriceChild> foey, feisty includes mythtv in the repositories and should be easy
[12:39] <IndyGunFreak> ajmorris_: i've had mixed results with it..

[12:39] <ndo> oke, i guess im stuck with this error, its like im have to go  back search forums -.-
[12:40] <mikebot> Can I burn a .img to a DVD and have it work in DVD players?
[12:40] <IndyGunFreak> ajmorris_:  it seems th biggest issue, is when you try to upgrade your distro, then you're hosed.
[12:40] <foey> Ok, is this a front end then?
[12:40] <nikolam> ajmorris_: i didnt manage to run skype. Someone suggested automatix. Should I try it?
[12:40] <macaholic> no
[12:40] <macaholic> not for skype
[12:40] <foey> PriceChild : ok, cheers, is this a front end for the media side then
[12:40] <the_walrus> mikebot, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. A .img is generally just a raw image file. You may need to convert it to an iso first though
[12:40] <ajmorris_> no nikolam,
[12:40] <mikebot> the_walrus: How do I do that?
[12:40] <Falstius> nikolam: or for anything else.
[12:40] <PriceChild> foey, mythtv has a frontend and backend
[12:40] <IndyGunFreak> nikolam: no
[12:41] <christian> have to repeat; Where at my computer is automatix, I don't find it when I search for it via Places -> Search for files..
[12:41] <the_walrus> mikebot, sorry thats out of my expertise. I figure you CAN do it, how, is another matter. Sorry
[12:41] <ajmorris_> nikolam, if there is a way to install something without using automatix, then i suggest you use it
[12:41] <PriceChild> foey, you have one backend... and then as many frontends as you want over your home network
[12:41] <nikolam> I tryed everything else ... on fresh installed xubuntu, patched full and all packages and.. nothing
[12:41] <gan|y|med> hi
[12:41] <nikolam> Thanks for tip
[12:41] <mikebot> the_walrus: It's OK, thanks for the help.
[12:41] <PriceChild> foey, you can also have the frontend and backend on the same machine if needed
[12:41] <mikebot> Does anyone know how to convert a .img to a .iso?
[12:41] <ajmorris_> IndyGunFreak, i dont see why people try to upgrade their system with automatix anyway ;)
[12:42] <gan|y|med> i need help urgently. i cannot access websites on feisty any more, but everything is fine in winxp (same notebook, wlan, ipw2200)
[12:42] <IndyGunFreak> ajmorris_: no, i mean like, if you go from Feisty to Gutsy, through the normal upgrade process, thats whne automatix hoses your system
[12:42] <foey> PriceChild : ok, ty. At the moment the frontend is going to be used to play mp3 and avis, would this do the job?
[12:42] <nikolam> Hmmm and what is your opinion on hmm getlibs script?
[12:42] <dho_ragus> mikebot: .img files could be one of several formats.  what does it say when you do `file filename.img` ?
[12:42] <mikebot> dho_ragus: I'm sorry?
[12:43] <ajmorris_> IndyGunFreak, oh, yeah, but even some simple things like multimedia codecs have been known to hose a system
[12:43] <mikebot> dho_ragus: Oh, let me try that.
[12:43] <PriceChild> foey, "I don't know" :) I'm pretty sure it will.... but its also for tv tuners etc.
[12:43] <dho_ragus> mikebot: in a terminal window, assuming the filename is mymovie.img, type `file mymovie.img`
[12:43] <seanj> wow, I had no idea Automatix was so awful
[12:43] <IndyGunFreak> ajmorris_: preachin to the choir my man.. :)
[12:43] <gan|y|med> before about 2 days ago inet was slow and i could not access some sites, but since then i can access less and less sites (e.g. now i can pretty much only access www.google.co.uk, but i cannot access www.google.com
[12:43] <dho_ragus> mikebot: that will tell you what kind of file it is
[12:43] <IndyGunFreak> seanj: it can be..
[12:43] <mikebot> dho_ragus: UDF filesystem data (version 1.5)
[12:43] <nikolam> And what do you think about getlibs script?
[12:43] <seanj> IndyGunFreak: I've never used it, and I'm glad
[12:44] <foey> PriceChild : Many thanks. Big help! Ill have a play :)
[12:44] <macaholic> come to think of it nothing i installed with automatix has worked except for mplayer...
[12:44] <seanj> bbl!
[12:44] <IndyGunFreak> seanj: when it works, its a cool idea/concept.., but when it hoses something, you might as well reinstall
[12:44] <dho_ragus> mikebot: ok, so that is a DVD "iso"
[12:44] <seanj> :( ugh
[12:44] <dho_ragus> mikebot: the DVD filesystem is UDF.
[12:44] <gan|y|med> any idea why i would not be able to access almost any website in feisty?
[12:44] <IndyGunFreak> macaholic: and you recommended it to someone else?
[12:44] <dho_ragus> mikebot: you should be able to burn that and have it function like a normal dvd.
[12:44] <mikebot> dho_ragus: OK, that's good, cause I'm trying to make it a DVD.
[12:45] <mikebot> dho_ragus: What would you use to burn it to a DVD?
[12:45] <verboz> hi all
[12:45] <dho_ragus> mikebot: actually i don't burn in linux.
[12:45] <mikebot> dho_ragus: Ah, OK.
[12:45] <verboz> i want to generate .deb from .jar file
[12:45] <verboz> how should i proceed
[12:45] <verboz> ??
[12:45] <dho_ragus> verboz: `alien` might do that.
[12:45] <TJ__> Why do you want to do that?
[12:45] <macaholic> i didnt really "recommend" it, i merely said you COULD install it
[12:45] <Falstius> dho_ragus: can you right click on it and select 'write to disk' ?
[12:45] <IndyGunFreak> macaholic: and a newbie is gonna take that as a recommendation, you know that, don't try semantics
[12:46] <dho_ragus> Falstius: i'm not the one trying to burn
[12:46] <macaholic> kk, ill keep that in mind
[12:46] <mikebot> Falstius: Don't see that under right click menu.
[12:46] <IndyGunFreak> macaholic: if all of us werent here saying how ignorant that advice was, the guy would be installing it right now.
[12:46] <TJ__> Verboz, jar files are javascript executables. As far as I know, you don't need to convert them to debs, you need to have the latest java installed and have java run it for you.
[12:46] <Falstius> mikebot: rename it to .iso and hope for the best ;)
[12:47] <thinkmassive> I installed ubuntu on my roommate's computer a year ago, and it worked fine until yesterday when grub decided to start throwing Error 18 on boot
[12:47] <thinkmassive>  I don't understand how this could happen if the BIOS hasn't changed and the hardware is all the same
[12:47] <mikebot> Falstius: haha, rename it? really?
[12:47] <thinkmassive> any thoughts?
[12:47] <verboz> i dont call it javascript, because javascript is another language for the web
[12:47] <IndyGunFreak> thinkmassive: my first thought... something went wrong
[12:47] <verboz> :)
[12:47] <dho_ragus> thinkmassive: my first though, entropy.
[12:47] <Falstius> mikebot: you should check with file first but yeah should be okay.
[12:48] <IndyGunFreak> dho_ragus: entropy
[12:48] <IndyGunFreak> ?
[12:48] <vocx> thinkmassive, static electricity?  Clean up the case. Reset BIOS, replug the drives, try again.
[12:48] <dho_ragus> IndyGunFreak: yeah.  things break.
[12:48] <ultm8> hey folks
[12:48] <IndyGunFreak> ah.. ok
[12:48] <ultm8> anybody familiar with GRUB
[12:48] <mikebot> Falstius: I think k3b is doing the trick.
[12:48] <vocx> dho_ragus, IndyGunFreak entropy! priceless (a very valid scientific standpoint)
[12:48] <mikebot> But if not, I'll try that. Thanks a bunch.
[12:48] <christian> can't I just download mplayer the easily way from their pages, and the install? Which one of these? MPlayer v1.0rc1 source, MPlayer 1.0rc1, Windows MPlayer 1.0rc1, Windows GUI [MPlayer OS X 1.0rc1 Fedora Core RPM packages
[12:48] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: credit goes to dho_ragus i didn't know what it meant.
[12:49] <Tiggzz> lo peeps. I have just been looking at the ATI X--- install issue in the noobs section. Is this still needed, or doe sit just install now. Thatwas dated april
[12:49] <jrib> christian: the easy way is to enable multiverse and install it with your favorite package manager in ubuntu
[12:49] <christian> jrib, ok, but what's ya mean about 'enable multiverse'?
[12:49] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: ATI anything, and you can almost always count on problems
[12:50] <jrib> christian: system -> administration -> software sources
[12:50] <jrib> !multiverse > christian (see the private message from ubotu)
[12:50] <bethany> where all the girl hackers at
[12:50] <vocx> christian, use Add/Remove, or aptitude or apt-get or synaptic.
[12:50] <Tiggzz> IndyGunFreak, so will I need to do the install from the alternate cd? Will I still be able to use a 64bit version?
[12:51] <Urilock> i have an ATI graphics card
[12:51] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: well, 64bit has issues all its own, no matter what video card you use.... if you're new to Linux, i wouldn't mess with it, stick with 32bit.
[12:51] <Urilock> a tutorial is telling me to do something with it in restricted drivers
[12:51] <dho_ragus> 64-bit is over-rated.
[12:51] <Urilock> i went to restricted drivers and it tells me there is nothing there
[12:51] <IndyGunFreak> dho_ragus: not only that, its ridiculous the hoop jumping you must go through for things as simple as flash
[12:51] <Paddy_EIRE> Urilock: what card is it
[12:51] <macaholic> what card do you have?
[12:52] <Urilock> hold on let me check
[12:52] <prof> Hi I just was given a sun ultra 80 expert 3D. I know nothing about sun other than I want ubuntu on it. I see there is sparc minimal install, but does ubuntu (linux in general) really run well on these machines? Or will I be hacking away several days? Thanks!!!
[12:52] <Tiggzz> IndyGunFreak, ok will do. I did ask before and was told no problem but that was before I found the ati issue.
[12:52] <Urilock> Radeon x600?
[12:52] <Urilock> i think thats it
[12:52] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: you might get it to work, you might not, i'd just stick with 32bit, no matter wht.. thats my personal opinion.
[12:52] <Tiggzz> IndyGunFreak so still alternate, or can I go from the livecd?
[12:52] <Urilock> i have 2
[12:52] <fromo> anyone know how to fix the terminal font so it displays ANSI/ascii correctly?
[12:52] <Urilock> one says PCIE on it and the other doesnt
[12:53] <phiqtion> !amarok
[12:53] <ubotu> Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.3 for Dapper and 1.4.5 for Edgy and packages are  available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok
[12:53] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: ive got perfectly comptabile hardware w/ Nvidia, and i only use the Alternate, i don't like the live cd's, so i'm probably not the best person to ask.. :)
[12:53] <phiqtion> amarok doesn't run on gnome?
[12:53] <Urilock> i just got ubuntu so im not sure
[12:53] <Urilock> i have amarok on gnome
[12:53] <Paddy_EIRE> phiqtion: yes it does
[12:53] <IndyGunFreak> phiqtion: sure it does.... i use it all the time on gnome.
[12:53] <fromo> it needs some kde junk to run though
[12:53] <DrHalan> if i exectue a console application in code::blocks the window looks different than the nomral terminal, why?
[12:53] <Urilock> almost every time it crashed
[12:53] <IndyGunFreak> amarok is by far the best IPOD syncing tool.
[12:53] <Tiggzz> IndyGunFreak, I am going to be using mythtv on it, and recoding video. Thats why I thought I'd take advantage of the 64bit. But knowing how bad 64bit is in Doze, I did wonder
[12:53] <Urilock> but i reinstalled it and its fine now
[12:54] <Urilock> can anyone help me?
[12:54] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: its just my opinion, i wouldn't mess with it, but do as you please
[12:54] <vocx> prof, most people know nothing about Sun systems either, so good luck with that. I believe there is a subforum in ubuntuforums.org discussing Sparc, as well as subforums for the other architectures.
[12:54] <macaholic> urilock: wat exactly is ur problem?
[12:54] <vocx> !enter | Urilock
[12:54] <ubotu> Urilock: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[12:54] <IndyGunFreak> Urilock: what do you need help with?
[12:54] <phiqtion> i try to install it, and it says it needs alot of dependencies
[12:54] <prof> thanks vocx!
[12:54] <phiqtion> any help on amarok on gnome?
[12:55] <Tiggzz> IndyGunFreak, I'll bow to superior experiance. As I have none!!
[12:55] <christian> jrib; I didn't get much out of that. :/ And yeah, I wrote the PM
[12:55] <jrib> phiqtion: what's the issue?
[12:55] <IndyGunFreak> phiqtion: yes, because its a KDE app, and it needs a lot of kde dependencies, install them, and don't worry about it.
[12:55] <Paddy_EIRE> phiqtion: yes, if your using apt-get or aptitude youll be fine
[12:55] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: lol, i wouldn't go that far
[12:55] <jrib> christian: did you manage to enable multiverse?
[12:55] <macaholic> Urilock: if it is a driver problem with ati install envy, http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[12:55] <nerwo> I am not able to boot Ubuntu properly. I just get "Hard disk boot sector invalid", so I have to insert the Ubuntu CD and select "Boot from first hard disk". That's not cool at all
[12:55] <Urilock> i have envy
[12:55] <Urilock> i used it
[12:55] <Urilock> and when i loged in using Xgl
[12:55] <MISTERTibbs> nerwo, are you dual booting??
[12:55] <vocx> !envy | Urilock macaholic
[12:55] <ubotu> Urilock macaholic: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[12:55] <christian> vocx, When I searched for mplayer in Add/Remove it only found kaffeine,
[12:55] <Urilock> it all messed up :S
[12:56] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: lmao.. haven't saw that one.
[12:56] <Urilock> all of the graphics went crazy
[12:56] <nerwo> no, but Ive made a partition to install xp on later
[12:56] <JanWinnicki> hello everyone
[12:56] <macaholic> envy does the same thing...
[12:56] <Tiggzz> IndyGunFreak, well thanks anyway. I'll try the live cd, if it don't work then I'll go alternate. hell, it's only 20mins!!
[12:56] <vocx> christian, probably you need to enable the correct repositories as jrib said. Please follow ubotu guides.
[12:56] <phiqtion> HELP!!! i just opened software sources and i have ALOT of repositories i DID NOT add!!!
[12:56] <MISTERTibbs> nerwo, that's weird.  so you ONLY have ubuntu right??
[12:56] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: very true..
[12:56] <TOXICFUSIONX> sup peeps
[12:56] <Paddy_EIRE> phiqtion: pastebin
[12:56] <macaholic> i dont't use envy but its easier then installing it manually
[12:56] <jrib> phiqtion: like?
[12:57] <Urilock> i dont think my graphics drivers are working right
[12:57] <macaholic> how so?
[12:57] <Tanman> some of the repositories from the nz section don't work
[12:57] <Urilock> device type: unknown
[12:57] <fromo> anyone know how to fix the terminal font so it displays ANSI/ASCII properly?
[12:57] <Paddy_EIRE> !ati | Urilock
[12:57] <ubotu> Urilock: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:57] <jrib> macaholic: system -> administration -> restricted drivers manager is pretty easy
[12:57] <IndyGunFreak> phiqtion: its proably not that big of a deal.., you probably have a bunch there that have been commented out.
[12:57] <Tanman> does anyone know what is going with that? they time out
[12:57] <macaholic> jrib: but thats not the newest one
[12:57] <nerwo> yes, on a 30 gb partition + a 30 gb of empty space for xp (and 1gb of swap of course)
[12:58] <macaholic> jrib: in fact I don't think envy even has the newest one
[12:58] <genefitz> With Ubuntu, I always had issues with the restricted drivers. They eitehr screwed up my resolution something awful or set my monitor at such a low frequency, it sucked..
[12:58] <MISTERTibbs> nerwo, type of computer??
[12:58] <jrib> christian: ?
[12:58] <Jeruvy> ok Fiesty in play here. Why can't I get apache2 to work?  It's installed and the service is running but no connection to 'localhost' .  Something I'm missing?
[12:58] <genefitz> And it didn't matter using Envy or the stanard Ubuntu repo
[12:58] <Grungebunny> Hello, im in the process of installing compiz fusion and at this point it says "Now you just have to log off, log into your Xgl session and run Compiz Fusion." what does this mean?
[12:58] <IndyGunFreak> Jeruvy: probably.
[12:58] <nerwo> Compal CL 50 laptop
[12:59] <christian> jrib; I didn't find that in System -> Administration -> System Sources. But why can't I install mplayer as I've allways done? Trough Add/Remove or terminaL?
[12:59] <Jeruvy> IndyGunFreak: thanks for clearing that up, now how about something lucid :)
[12:59] <genefitz> Grungebunny, hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
[12:59] <macaholic> Grungebunny: right click options at login and choose gnome w/ XGL
[12:59] <MISTERTibbs> nerwo, not familiar with CL50.  what year is that??
[12:59] <phiqtion> im trying to install amarok thru apt-get but it says i can't install
[12:59] <thinkmassive> Jeruvy: firewall?
[12:59] <IndyGunFreak> Jeruvy: i don' mess w/ apache, sorry.. was just pointing out the obvious
[12:59] <jrib> christian: the first tab of Software Sources has several checmarks.  One of them corresponds to Multiverse.  Do you see it?  mplayer is in multiverse, that's why you need it
[12:59] <Urilock> sudo apt-get install amarok
[12:59] <IndyGunFreak> phiqtion: what does it say?
[12:59] <Urilock> i think
[12:59] <Jeruvy> thinkmassive: no firewall
[01:00] <genefitz> oops. XGL. not Xorg, my bad
[01:00] <IndyGunFreak> phiqtion: jsut sudo apt-get install amarok, hit y, and let it go.
[01:00] <nerwo> another weird thing is that my hard drive is displayed as sda (although I didn't think ist was an SCSI drive) The computer is appx 4 years old I think
[01:00] <phiqtion> his application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'amarok' the conflicting software must be removed first.
[01:00] <Paddy_EIRE> nerwo: yes its sda now
[01:00] <Paddy_EIRE> !sda
[01:00] <IndyGunFreak> phiqtion: what does it want to remove?
[01:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sda - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:01] <Urilock> lol
[01:01] <Urilock> im now downloading some 114mb thing
[01:01] <phiqtion> IndyGunFreak: it doesn't say
[01:01] <IndyGunFreak> phiqtion: then its not gonna remove anything
[01:01] <summer_s4> I need ubuntu to work with java but it wont
[01:01] <vocx> !java | summer_s4
[01:01] <IndyGunFreak> !java
[01:01] <MISTERTibbs> summer_s4, you have to install java first
[01:01] <krzee> i am running ubuntu on my MBP, trying to turn on DMA so my dvd will play well, but getting this error:

[01:01] <nerwo> Do you mean Ubuntu has just abolished using the hda term for hard drives?
[01:01] <IndyGunFreak> MISTERTibbs: lol, classic

[01:02] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[01:02] <krzee> ignore the $u$u pls
[01:02] <mneptok> nerwo: ATA librarires were replaced with piix_ata which uses sd* for PATA
[01:02] <Paddy_EIRE> nerwo: yeah...I think hda is still used for other drive types not sure
[01:02] <IndyGunFreak> phiqtion: did you get it figured out?
[01:02] <christian> jrib; I found it. Am I supposed to have that turned on or off?
[01:03] <m0dY> does Ubuntu have a pre made xen guest kernel ?
[01:03] <Urilock> brb restart :D
[01:03] <summer_s4> I know i have to install java first, it wont let me
[01:03] <mneptok> summer_s4: define "won't let me"
[01:03] <MISTERTibbs> summer_s4, are you logged in as root?
[01:03] <phiqtion> IndyGunFreak: no :(
[01:03] <IndyGunFreak> phiqtion: what is the problem?
[01:03] <nerwo> ok, I guess I ought to know this but is hd0=floppy drive?
[01:03] <mneptok> nerwo: no. fd0
[01:03] <christian> jrib: i suggest is gonna be off, cause it was on.
[01:03] <summer_s4> MNEPTOK: it says something like the thing is broken (i forgot)
[01:03] <nerwo> then what is hd0?
[01:03] <Paddy_EIRE> mneptok: you still use the floppy drive
[01:04] <mneptok> summer_s4: "it?"
[01:04] <summer_s4> mneptok: it says it conflicts with other software
[01:04] <mneptok> summer_s4: "it" *what*?!
[01:04] <Infected_PC> does anyone have AWN?
[01:04] <dho_ragus> mneptok: he's talking about that.
[01:04] <summer_s4> mneptok: it conflicts with other software.
[01:04] <mneptok> summer_s4: a magical elf comes out of your monitor and yells that through a megaphone?
[01:05] <jrib> christian: it's supposed to be on
[01:05] <dho_ragus> LOL
[01:05] <JanWinnicki> hm... every time i plug in my iPod rhytmbox automatically pops up. i don't want it to, because i prefer exaile. all rhytmbox plugins are disabled. how to disable this "function"?
[01:05] <christian> jrib, ok. and now?
[01:05] <vocx> summer_s4, please be specific. Do not think others can guess what you see on your screen.
[01:05] <mneptok> summer_s4: my car is broken. i think there's a problem with the metal thing.
[01:05] <jrib> christian: now go to a terminal and type: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install mplayer   (this way we can be sure without using a gui)
[01:05] <MISTERTibbs> vocx, "I sense you are correct.  We are not telepaths."
[01:06] <JanWinnicki> ...without uninstalling rhytmbox :)
[01:06] <UnluckyMike> JanWinnicki, System>Preferences>Removable Drives and Media
[01:06] <vocx> MISTERTibbs, "I sense I'm correct"
[01:06] <Tiggzz> IndyGunFreak, If I've got a display when in live cd, will I still have on eonce it's installed, or does it not work like that?
[01:06] <JanWinnicki> UnluckyMike: right! thanks ;)
[01:06] <IndyGunFreak> JanWinnicki: have you been able transfer to an IPOD w/ exaille.. even with the ipod plugin.
[01:07] <IndyGunFreak> i've had no luck with that
[01:07] <UnluckyMike> yeah bud
[01:07] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: as long as all goes well, it should
[01:07] <JanWinnicki> IndyGunFreak: yes, i am able to transfer mp3's to ipod with exaile
[01:07] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, wonder what i'm doing wrong
[01:07] <saintberry> hey all

[01:08] <MISTERTibbs> saintberry, talk to me.  I MIGHT be able to help
[01:08] <UnluckyMike> this is off topic but... I install satellite dishes and one of my customers was an 84 year old lady. I was looking at her computer and happened to notice she used Ubuntu. Just goes to show you.
[01:08] <Paddy_EIRE> lashmoove: you can just open a nautilus window the choose edit > preferences > behaviour
[01:08] <vocx> UnluckyMike, off topic!
[01:08] <lashmoove> Paddy_eire:thanks
[01:09] <genefitz> saintberry, what's your issue?
[01:09] <Tiggzz> IndyGunFreak, what size wold you recommend the partitions to be on an 80gb drive. I want to put my home seperate, after much recommendation
[01:09] <krzee> heh thats kinda a personal decision
[01:10] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: well, i never separate my home partition, i see people's reasoning, but it serves no use to me.... so i couldn't realy give you a recommendation.
[01:10] <christian> jrib: is it finnish now? :pV
[01:10] <toad6147> I'm having problems d/l a ISO that gives a goodd MD5.  What gives?
[01:10] <christian> Setting up mplayer (1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9.1) ...
[01:10] <christian> christian@christian-desktop:~$
[01:10] <sotec_prod> anyone know of an Ubuntu or linux program that can control the speed of cpu/case fans?
[01:10] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: generally, depending on media files you want to add, etc, 10-12gigs would be plenty for a normal ubuntu install, but you want to use Mythtv, so you'll need more than that, probably in the 25-35
[01:10] <vocx> christian, yes. Now look at your menu. Or type "mplayer"
[01:10] <saintberry> well, basically the install just hangs after i start it. i get a blank screen with a flashing cursor, after about 10min that goes away to nothing. the cd spins the whole time yet not HDD access, eventually the cd stops spinning and im left with a bank screen.
[01:11] <saintberry> i have done a mem test and tested the cd, both passed fine
[01:11] <macaholic> genefitz: btw does compiz work now?
[01:11] <MISTERTibbs> saintberry, what are your computer specs??
[01:11] <Paddy_EIRE> sotec_prod: I think lsensors does although I cant be sure
[01:11] <summer_s4> quit read error 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169 (overly excessive pi)
[01:11] <krillin> anyone here have a dell inspiron 1420n with preloaded ubuntu? if so, i'd like to know how well the hardware is supported
[01:11] <jrib> christian: yes
[01:11] <christian> vocx: You mean my desktop? No mplayer there.
[01:11] <macaholic> grungebunny: compiz work now
[01:11] <genefitz> mecaholic: I don't use compiz, I use beryl. I found it easier to install and use..
[01:11] <saintberry> im installing on a rather old notebook: celeron 2.2ghz, intel vga, 128mb pc2100 ram (i could prolly find more of that in the house)
[01:12] <Tiggzz> IndyGunFreak, so say 30 for system , 2gb for sway and the rest home?
[01:12] <Paddy_EIRE> vocx: sudo aptitude install gmplayer
[01:12] <vocx> christian, hit Alt+F1
[01:12] <macaholic> genefitz: meant grungebunny, sorry
[01:12] <genefitz> Not to mention there is an easy-install for Fedora with Beryl, seemingly easier than Compiz
[01:12] <saintberry> its a dell inspiron 1100
[01:12] <Tiggzz> swap sorry
[01:12] <christian> jrib, the player looks just like it was before i installed it.. I don't even see the streaming.
[01:12] <Grungebunny> macaholic I think so.. I don't understand the command to get the cube effect...
[01:12] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: i guess that would work..... don't know, you need to leave some room for windows to expand
[01:12] <MISTERTibbs> saintberry, try using the alternate installer on your CD
[01:12] <jrib> christian: you asked how to install mplayer.  What are you trying to do then?
[01:12] <macaholic> grungebunny: ctrl atl arrows
[01:12] <genefitz> mecaholic, okay, I was wondering...lol
[01:12] <macaholic> grungebunny: brb
[01:13] <saintberry> MISTERTibbs: the "install with driver update CD"?
[01:13] <vocx> Paddy_EIRE, I see no gmplayer... but do "aptitude search mplayer"
[01:13] <MISTERTibbs> saintberry, no.  I believe that's the 3rd option.  From the top, you want the 2nd one down
[01:13] <Tiggzz> IndyGunFreak, the 80 is entirely for ubuntu, doze is on a seperate drive
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: oh ok.
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> then i guess that would work.
[01:14] <saintberry> MISTERTibbs: cheers, will try now
[01:14] <Paddy_EIRE> vocx: In my personal opinion smplayer is the best frontend to mplayer yet... it aint in the repos use getdeb.net
[01:14] <MISTERTibbs> saintberry, good luck
[01:14] <christian> jrib: I'm conna see this little clip
[01:14] <IndyGunFreak> Tiggzz: but like i said, i don't ever install ubuntu that way, so i can't say for sure.
[01:14] <christian> http://www.tacky.no/skateboard/video/vis_video.asp?id=13857
[01:15] <vocx> Paddy_EIRE, okay.
[01:15] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: works fine
[01:15] <sotec_prod> Windows has a great program called SpeedFan that I use on that partition, but linux doesn't seem to have any at all, so it's looking like XP will just be my gaming interface, and linux my main desktop. oh well.
[01:15] <jrib> christian: if you want to install the plugin for your browser, then you need to install "mozilla-mplayer", remove whatever your current plugin is (probably totem-mozilla), and restart your browser
[01:15] <Mike22e> wolferine, i got it working now. and i started installing a new login theme.. and now right before it gets to the login screen, the screen stays blank with a loading crusor... any idea how i can undo my changes or soemthing?
[01:15] <christian> Paddy_EIRE: Are you using firefox?
[01:15] <Paddy_EIRE> sotec_prod: best way, linux just aint supported for gaming as well as win
[01:16] <sotec_prod> and linux/wine can't utilize the program I/O detection for the fans in SpeedFan
[01:16] <jrib> christian: and you may or may not need w32codecs as well
[01:16] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: ofcourse
[01:16] <jrib> !w32codecs > christian (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:16] <sotec_prod> no, linux isn't. unfortunately
[01:16] <christian> jrib: apt-get install mozilla-mplayer ?
[01:16] <vocx> IndyGunFreak, how do you install?
[01:16] <Mike22e> anyone know why i cant login to ubuntu? the screen stays blank right before i get to the login screen??
[01:16] <Grungebunny> okay.. I think the issue is the Xgl session im not positive what this is...
[01:16] <sotec_prod> ET is still my favorite game though
[01:16] <sotec_prod> :)
[01:16] <wolferine> Mike22e, you can direct your questions to the channel
[01:16] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: I know the problem, 1 sec
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: /swap and everything else on /home..
[01:16] <IndyGunFreak> i dont create a separate partition for /home
[01:16] <jrib> christian: yes, and remove totem-mozilla.  I have to go now, but that should do it.  If you still need help, Paddy_EIRE seems to understand the issue and is always helpful :)
[01:17] <Jeruvy> all fixed
[01:17] <mEck0> is it possible to open more than one file in vim at a time? as like each file is in a tab or something?
[01:17] <christian> ok, tnx for all your help jrib :)
[01:17] <martinY> Hey, does anyone know what the compatability is like for the Lenovo N100 3000 Laptop?
[01:17] <krillin> i've read some reports online that the graphics card provided with the dell inspiron 1420n isn't so well supported and the wireless works with open, WPA, but not with WEP. i want to make sure all the hardware i buy is fully functional
[01:17] <vocx> IndyGunFreak, ??? again please. You create two partitions or three?
[01:17] <christian> Paddy_EIRE: Did you install the plugins or did you just install mplayer and it worked?
[01:17] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: two... 1 swap, and the rest is for home and associated files
[01:18] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: perform these commands
[01:18] <Paddy_EIRE> $ cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[01:18] <Paddy_EIRE> $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.so
[01:18] <Paddy_EIRE> $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/mplayerplug-in-dvx.xpt
[01:18] <Mike22e> anyone know why my screen stays blank right before the login screen??
[01:18] <Jeruvy> krillin: WEP is deprecated, WPA is better
[01:18] <saintberry> MISTERTibbs: doesn't look good so far, after i choose the option i get an ubuntu logo with a progress bar going back and forwards. after that screen im back to the flashing cursor and no signs of activity. i'll give it a few more mins though...
[01:18] <martinY> Mike22e: Has your xserver log shown any errors?
[01:18] <vocx> krillin, there is the a subforum regarding Dell computers in ubuntuforums.org  You will find plenty of info there.
[01:18] <krillin> Jeruvy: i know, but i still want the wireless card to work if the hardware supports WEP at least
[01:18] <christian> paddy: bash: $: command not found
[01:18] <krillin> vocx: okay, thanks
[01:18] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: once you've done that restart Firefox
[01:19] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: no starting after the &
[01:19] <MISTERTibbs> saintberry, don't give up.  My first 2 attempts didn't follow the script but eventiually worked.
[01:19] <lashmoove> what is the gconf-editor key to get the trash on the desktop ?
[01:19] <Mike22e> martinY, i dont know how to check anything.. i dont know how to get a terminal or anything.
[01:19] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: oops after the $ rather
[01:19] <mEck0> I solved my problem...
[01:19] <MISTERTibbs> saintberry, also, on the off chance that your system was overwhelmed, try xubuntu.  much lower requirements
[01:20] <saintberry> MISTERTibbs: cool will download as a fallback
[01:20] <martinY> You can get onto the console by pressing CTRL + ALT + F1to6
[01:20] <vocx> Paddy_EIRE, do people a favor and do not use $ to indicate the shell. I believe it is better to quote it like this "man ln"
[01:20] <Paddy_EIRE> vocx: yeah my bad
[01:20] <christian> Paddy_EIRE: Write it again, I don't know what to edit. .:P
[01:20] <ion> where can I find a good review of ubuntu's features and screenshots?
[01:20] <martinY> Mike22e: You can get onto the console by pressing CTRL + ALT + F1to6
[01:20] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: ok
[01:21] <Mike22e> martinY, ahh, thanks
[01:21] <Mike22e> martinY, what should i check to see whats wrong? any suggestions?
[01:22] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34001/  <--here just perform them one after another
[01:22] <vocx> ion, in the forums you can find the "weekly newsletter" with countless links to other sites talking about Ubuntu.
[01:22] <ion> ok
[01:23] <dho_ragus> LDAP drives me nuts
[01:24] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: it should just skip on to the next line each time.... then restart firefox
[01:24] <Mike22e> anyone know what i do to reset the login manager settings?
[01:24] <Mike22e> is there a hidden .folder i can delete in home?
[01:25] <vocx> ion, oh, I just remembered. There is a electronic magazine concerning Ubuntu, with guides and plenty of screenshots. They even have a subforum in the Community section, I believe. Naturally the magazine is free.
[01:25] <martinY> mike22e: Go back to the black screen, press control + alt + F7, then press control + alt + backspace. Do any error messages show?
[01:25] <ion> vocx, Tankyou
[01:25] <ion> thankyou *
[01:25] <vocx> ion, Tank you too :)
[01:25] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: any joy..?
[01:26] <Grungebunny> okay compiz is working!!
[01:26] <Grungebunny> yayayy
[01:26] <ion> hehe
[01:26] <Ar-Pharazon> Hi everyone, just one question about wireless support; ubuntu can handle wpa right?
[01:26] <dho_ragus> Ar-Pharazon: yes
[01:26] <Mike22e> martinY, im in console now.. how do i go back to restart X?
[01:26] <Paddy_EIRE> !wifi Ar-Pharazon

[01:26] <ubotu> Ar-Pharazon: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:26] <christian> Paddy_EIRE: Does it play of quicktime and windows video player files?
[01:27] <martinY> Mike22e: What does your screen say now?
[01:27] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: yes if you have all the codecs required installed
[01:27] <Grungebunny> ohh thats sooo cool with the ctrl/alt mouse button.. does anyone have a good website that gives detailed lists of all the compiz effects ?
[01:27] <chuy_max> Mike22e, sudo gdm

[01:27] <Mike22e> martinY, nothing, just at a console.
[01:27] <Ar-Pharazon> dho_ragus: was wpa added recently? my 7.0 cd is a few months old and only had wep.

[01:28] <Overdrive> hi, i'm trying to install some basic packages in ubuntu 64 bits version, but i can't find the major part of packages :-/
[01:28] <Overdrive> (like emacs, xorg, etc...)
[01:28] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: how do you mean...maybe you where using gxine at the time
[01:28] <|krzee|> i tested the cntrl alt f7, cntrl alt backspace
[01:28] <|krzee|> doh!
[01:28] <Pici> Overdrive: Where are you looking?
[01:28] <martinY> Mike22e: ctrl+alt+f7, then ctrl + alt+backspace
[01:28] <vocx> Ar-Pharazon, WPA has been supported for ages. Ubuntu does not handle WPA per se, but the drivers that control your wireless card and wpa_supplicant.
[01:28] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: show me what your trying to watch and Ill tell you if its behaving as it should
[01:28] <Overdrive> Pici: i'm using apt-cache search emacs e.g. and nothing :-/
[01:28] <christian> Paddy_EIRE: http://www.tacky.no/skateboard/video/vis_video.asp?id=52365
[01:29] <Mike22e> martinY, yeah, it doesnt show any error. just blank screen with loading cursor. like before the login screen, usually it does that for 1 second. but now it stays like that forever.. loading..
[01:29] <Overdrive> Pici: i imagine that the major part of packages are not ported to 64 bits version, btw i'm trying to configure if not exist the package to ia64, try to install to ia32
[01:29] <mmc2> is us.archives.ubuntu.com down?

[01:30] <shk> can anyone help me with a simple grub question?
[01:30] <Rexor_Moon> my problem is that I'm trying to find a file install directory of a game to drop a package of music files into

[01:30] <ubotu> shk: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:30] <shk> oh jeez
[01:30] <Pici> Overdrive: Thats odd, Have you done an apt-get update lately?
[01:30] <Paddy_EIRE> shk: since when are grub questions simple :P
[01:30] <shk> haha
[01:30] <christian> Paddy_EIRE: Yeah, I know it was like that when i used Windows, but nothing is happening now.
[01:30] <martinY> Mike22e: sorry, im really not an expert on ubuntu, just your average user. I dont know what to suggest
[01:30] <macaholic> grungebunny: just go to system > settings > compizconf settings and click on things and go to actions
[01:30] <Paddy_EIRE> shk: just kidding what is it
[01:30] <shk> well after doing update && upgrade i get an extra version in my bootloader
[01:31] <shk> like ubuntu somethingsomething .15 and .16
[01:31] <Mike22e> anyone know what i do to reset the login manager settings?
[01:31] <Paddy_EIRE> whats in place of the video what does it say...info
[01:31] <bluebanana> why does gftp disconnect me after a short time?
[01:31] <freeman163> me too

[01:31] <Grungebunny> macaholic im there... im looking at the desktop zoom it says <super> button 3.. what does this mean?
[01:31] <freeman163> just load the .16 i think
[01:31] <bluebanana> I don't want to have to keep re-connecting to my site
[01:31] <Overdrive> Pici: oh right :-)
[01:31] <Paddy_EIRE> shk: yes that is the new kernel
[01:31] <shk> yes but im a psycho and i cant stand having the old one even present, lol
[01:31] <martinY> Mike22e: perhaps sudo apt-get remove gdm , then sudo apt-get install gdm
[01:31] <Paddy_EIRE> shk: I find my lappy works best for me with the .15
[01:31] <freeman163> well, if ya find out tell me
[01:32] <shk> Paddy, how so?
[01:32] <mmc2> Mike22e sudo gdm-setup should get you something
[01:32] <shk> well freeman you can comment it out in menu.lst
[01:32] <ibanex> i'm in the sudo group but i get "tux is not allowed to run sudo on linux.  This incident will be reported."
[01:32] <christian> Paddy_EIRE: If you don't saw what I wrote:  Yeah, I know it was like that when i used Windows, but nothing is happening now.
[01:32] <Paddy_EIRE> shk: that list is easy hidden and you can have it boot straight into your prefered kernel
[01:32] <Tanman> its the nz.archive.ubuntu.com that don't work anymore
[01:32] <Tanman> for apt

[01:34] <Greyscale__> How do I start a torrent in rtorrent?
[01:34] <vocx> shk, Paddy_EIRE, freeman163 in order to remove the kernel properly you need to remove "linux-image-(kernel)-generic"  so it would be "linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic" or whatever the correct version is. It should update properly the "menu.lst" also
[01:34] <shk> thank you !
[01:35] <lashmoove> jrib thanks

[01:40] <monkey_instinct> compiz fusion 0.5.2 gives me error messages when i try to compile
[01:40] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: thats what to do.
[01:40] <morodock_> vanberge: synergy rocks!
[01:40] <kitche> bethany, well if you want virtual hosts you have to edit the file as Pici said
[01:40] <bethany> thanks pici and kitche :)
[01:40] <vanberge> morodock_, i heard about it... and i installed it... but im stuck a bit on using it!
[01:40] <christian> Paddy_EIRE: Will you give me that url again? :p
[01:40] <Paddy_EIRE> jrib: no, the plugins go to the wrong folder so he has to ln them
[01:40] <bethany> I want to run multiple sites maybe 2 or 3
[01:40] <PriceChild> monkey_instinct, #ubuntu-effects please
[01:41] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: sure
[01:41] <MISTERTibbs> vocx, I had the darndest time installing anything before i figured out why i didn't have privleges.  Root just makes it easier to getrdone.
[01:41] <bethany> just to play for now
[01:41] <Overdrive> Pici: maybe is a question half offtopic, but linux kernel supports 100% quad core? ubuntu detects the 4 cores... but i don't know if the support is full or not...
[01:41] <bethany> my html is getting better I'm moving into php
[01:41] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34001/
[01:41] <vanberge> morodock_, you have to mess with your xorg config?
[01:41] <vocx> MISTERTibbs, but what about "sudo" ? Didn't like it?
[01:41] <Pici> Overdrive: I'm really not sure, sorry.
[01:41] <morodock_> no, just make sure the clients are able to connect
[01:41] <bethany> I have loads of sites Ive made but I didn't know if I could do more
[01:41] <Hirvinen> Overdrive: Yed it is.
[01:41] <Hirvinen> *Yes
[01:41] <bethany> one more question
[01:41] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: erm, on feisty?
[01:41] <Overdrive> Hirvinen: ok :-) thz
[01:41] <MISTERTibbs> vocx, i like it because it's safer than root, but having to sudo each and evertime is a pain in the ass.
[01:41] <bicchi> How do i create a bootable usb flash drive; i do not have a cd drive?
[01:42] <morodock_> you may have firewall issues, are both clients on that same OS and same network?
[01:42] <bethany> do I have to run the site on port 80 ?
[01:42] <Paddy_EIRE> jrib: strange over sight...even on linux mint which has them preinstalled you must do the same thing
[01:42] <Rexor_Moon> can someone help me?  I need to know where to find installation file directories for games.
[01:42] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: it works fine here
[01:42] <Pici> MISTERTibbs: sudo -i then.
[01:42] <Paddy_EIRE> jrib: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=491592&highlight=divx+firefox  <---reports here
[01:42] <MISTERTibbs> Pici, thanks.  i'll look at the man page
[01:42] <Pici> Rexor_Moon: What are you looking for? /usr/share/games/
[01:42] <Overdrive> mmm in ubuntu there is a way to use a real root account without sudo?
[01:43] <bethany> moro you talking to me ?
[01:43] <Rexor_Moon> I'll try that
[01:43] <vocx> MISTERTibbs, still, do not recommend root to new users.     And you are not allowed to say a** in here.
[01:43] <MISTERTibbs> vocx, ok.  understood.  also: _)#(@_)(%&)^(&_!!!!
[01:43] <morodock_> bethany: no, was taking to vanberge
[01:43] <Rexor_Moon> part of my problem is that I'm used to windows, so the names on the file directories are completely unfamiliar to me
[01:43] <bethany> oh
[01:43] <Pici> !sudo > Overdrive (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)
[01:43] <bicchi> /# ubuntuforums
[01:43] <Paddy_EIRE> jrib: I have noticed that sometimes it works straight away providing you do so in the correct order...otherwise the plugins go to the wrong directory
[01:44] <Paddy_EIRE> jrib: then you must either cut paste or ln
[01:44] <Overdrive> Pici: i know, but my question was, if it is possible use root account and not normal account + sudo
[01:44] <morodock_> bethany: but as for your question about running multiple sites, yes, you can run them all on port 80, or different ports, or different IPs.
[01:44] <Overdrive> (under ubuntu of course)
[01:44] <vocx> Overdrive, of course it is possible, but the documentation on how to do it is hidden and no one knows.
[01:44] <bethany> how would I do them on the same port :|

[01:45] <Pici> Overdrive: Hm, I thought information about re-enabling root was in that link, but I must be mistaken.
[01:45] <bethany> the one I have now I just use nat on my router settings and open port 80 on the pc with the server and they can see it
[01:45] <JESTER> i got 2 graphics cards

[01:46] <Rexor_Moon> hrmmm, my next problem is, I can't get permission to edit my own files, as in add the new soundtrack files to the game's data folder
[01:46] <Overdrive> Pici: ok, i'm going to read!! :-)
[01:46] <Pici> Overdrive: You can do `sudo passwd` to set a password for root. But as you know, we dont like to suggest that. :)
[01:46] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: ah, you're right, -dvx is unlinked here too.  Thanks

[01:52] <bluebanana> is there a way that I myself can test out to see whether my website/webhost allows mysql?

[01:52] <JESTER> NO!!

[01:53] <jrib> Twelve-60: installing linux on linux?  Try a virtualization solution like virtualbox, vmware, or qemu
[01:53] <JESTER> i dont think this is a legacy
[01:53] <Twelve-60> jrib: i wish to install a different distro over this current one
[01:53] <Twelve-60> mainly xubuntu over gentoo
[01:53] <jrib> Twelve-60: then just pop in the ubuntu install cd and tell it to install to the partition gentoo is on
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: so just install it.
[01:53] <Rexor_Moon> arrr, it won't do what I tell it

[01:54] <Pici> Rexor_Moon: What are you trying to do?
[01:54] <jrib> !install > Twelve-60 (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:54] <JESTER> what kind of computer has no cd drive
[01:54] <Paddy_EIRE> Twelve-60: thats an odd one...err do you mean just format gentoo and install xubuntu
[01:54] <Rexor_Moon> to do it, I give it the command "sudo mv advanced simulacra.ogg usr/share/games/singularity/data
[01:54] <Rexor_Moon> "
[01:54] <christian> Paddy_EIRE:
[01:54] <christian> 2. Uncompress the file you've just downloaded. Right-click, and "extract." In this newly created directory, copy all the Firefox extensions from this folder. Right-click and select "copy."
[01:54] <christian> I don't get that
[01:54] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: so how did you intend to install xubuntu?
[01:54] <vanberge> morodock_, i think i am close!!
[01:54] <rickey> hey i just figured out my text proublem myself ,thanks
[01:54] <Twelve-60> Paddy_EIRE: Wubi installs directly from windows, without a CD
[01:55] <JESTER> is there like a sudo command that will install the drivers for the ati card just to install
[01:55] <Twelve-60> I was hoping there was a linux version that was the same
[01:55] <morodock_> vanberge: ok, let me know if you get stuck
[01:55] <CoasterMaster> Where can I get more applets for gnome-panel?
[01:55] <Laeelin> Pica: can you use iptables to forward the packtes to the correct address before then even reach the DSL?
[01:55] <christian> Paddy_EIRE: Am I supposed to copy all the firefox files into the map I've compressed the plug-ins-files in?
[01:55] <Rexor_Moon> but it tells me that the target is not a directory
[01:55] <Pici> Rexor_Moon: mv's sintax is "mv file destination"
[01:55] <vanberge> morodock_, i think i just need to open up so client can access server
[01:55] <Paddy_EIRE> Twelve-60: Ive never heard of a linux version but happy hunting
[01:55] <lashmoove> please help, I broke apt by trying to install secondlife via get deb, well the install was halted by a "The package might be corrupted or you are not allowed to open the file. Check the permissions of the file." I then checked the permissions of the file, and it is set to me being the owner.. now use apt because I get this "The package secondlife-install needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it."
[01:55] <vocx> !install | Twelve-60 see if you can find anything here

[01:55] <vanberge> morodock_, right now i can't even ping the server
[01:55] <JESTER> u have to put sudo bach and u can drag the files from the downloaded place to tirminal
[01:55] <Twelve-60> Yeah I can't.
[01:56] <JESTER> no
[01:56] <JESTER> sudo bash my bad
[01:56] <Pici> !tab
[01:56] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:56] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: can that pc boot a usb thumb drive by chance?..
[01:56] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: copy all the files from the folder you extracted to where_ever/the/guide_says
[01:56] <JESTER> !tab Rafaell
[01:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tab rafaell - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:56] <Rexor_Moon> soo, I should say, "sudo mv usr/share/games/singularity/data  advanced simulacra.ogg?
[01:56] <Rj_Br> I dont believe its possible, is it?
[01:56] <JESTER> wow taht really workd
[01:56] <JESTER> wtf is that
[01:57] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: follow the guide to the letter
[01:57] <Twelve-60> IndyGunFreak: I have tried
[01:57] <vanberge> there is probably a quick and easy way to add a 'trusted' client to allow connection via ssh or any other running service, isnt there?
[01:57] <Twelve-60> however it doesn't detect a 'CDROM'
[01:57] <Twelve-60> couldn't find the 'ISO'
[01:57] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: i understand that, but can it boot a USB drive?
[01:57] <vocx> Rexor_Moon, it seems like the path is wrong  look carefully /usr/share/games/singularity/data        use the tab key to autocomplete
[01:57] <Twelve-60> Yes
[01:57] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: like a thumb drive, or flash drive.
[01:57] <JESTER> rafaell can u give me a link or something step by step installation of the ati radeon 9250
[01:57] <dorota> !
[01:57] <JESTER> or anyone
[01:57] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: then there's your answer, get a thumb drive, and boot the iso off of it... you'll probably need one at least 800mb.
[01:57] <JESTER> lol
[01:58] <JESTER> the file is 657mb or something
[01:58] <wolferine> !ati
[01:58] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:58] <JESTER> ok bot
[01:58] <Twelve-60> IndyGunFreak: I told you I tried that and it couldn't find the ISO for some unknown reason
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: oh.
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> wonder why.
[01:58] <JESTER> hmm lets see here
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: it probably wasn't on there as an image
[01:59] <Rafaell> if i'm in terminal can i download a file and run this file ?
[01:59] <JESTER> well gee
[01:59] <Twelve-60> Yes it was lol
[01:59] <JESTER> its just like crappy vista
[01:59] <JESTER> no support
[01:59] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: lol, ok.. well, i don't know...  maybe you could do a debian etch floppy install?
[01:59] <JESTER> i need to go spend another 90 dollars on a model thats freakin 300 series ahead
[01:59] <JESTER> not even that much
[02:00] <Rafaell> how can i download a file and run this file, on terminal ?
[02:00] <rickey> ooooooooo
[02:00] <PriceChild> Rafaell, wget <location of file>
[02:00] <PriceChild> Rafaell, ./nameoffile
[02:00] <Mike22e> anyone know why my screen stays blank right before the login screen??
[02:00] <Rafaell> [PriceChild] : ok thx
[02:02] <PriceChild> Mike22e, using desktop effects?
[02:02] <nickrud> Rafaell, inbetweeen those, chmod u+x nameoffile
[02:02] <Mike22e> PriceChild, yes i am using them..
[02:02] <christian> Paddy_EIRE: Oooooooooh, tnx SO much for all your support. Works fine now!
[02:02] <PriceChild> Mike22e, i'd guess that's why... ask for help in #ubuntu-effects
[02:02] <Paddy_EIRE> christian: great stuff :)
[02:02] <Mike22e> PriceChild, i did, they are all idling i suppose.
[02:02] <Rafaell> how ? nickrud
[02:02] <vanberge> how can i add a trusted 'client' to ubuntu firewall rules?
[02:02] <JESTER> ok
[02:02] <nickrud> Rafaell, between the two commands PriceChild gave you
[02:02] <vanberge> by default she's blocking everything
[02:02] <JESTER> my package config is on vesa
[02:02] <Mike22e> PriceChild, but i always used desktop effects, never gave me problems.. and i didnt change anything that had to do with desktop effects near the time this started happening.
[02:02] <Mike22e> so i dont think its the problem

[02:06] <IndyGunFreak> JESTER: how bout you lose the attitude

[02:07] <bethany> ok thanks
[02:07] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: oh, so you're not registered
[02:07] <bastid_raZor> my work is done here.
[02:07] <JESTER> i dont think i am neither
[02:08] <Twelve-60> IndyGunFreak: No I hardly come here
[02:08] <jrib> JESTER: you have it backwards.  it's ATI's fault.  Intel and Nvidia do a better job.  But this a discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic.
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> Twelve-60: type this w/o quotes  i just have some questions.. "/join #indygunfreak"
[02:08] <JESTER> i just came here because thats what they told me on the site to do
[02:08] <GIn> !java
[02:08] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[02:08] <nonanta>  my ubuntu server doesn't shutdown completely.i think it has something to do with acpi.how do i remove acpi of my system?i have already added a lot of things like noacpi to my /boot/grub/menu.lst but that doesn't work
[02:08] <jrib> JESTER: you're still going on without actually asking a support question
[02:08] <bastid_raZor> ATI has poor driver support for linux. ATI needs to get on the ball
[02:08] <JESTER> look dude
[02:08] <Mike22e> i was playing with the login manager.. and now i cant get to the login screen.. blank screen.. what do i need to delete to get it working? reset? is it .gconf?  .gnome? .gnome2? any ideas?
[02:08] <JESTER> i asked a question 10 minutes
[02:08] <JESTER> ago
[02:09] <rickey> thank you . i got that part i am talking about my sendind text
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> JESTER: the problem is ATI, not linux, take a paxil, and go back to xp.
[02:09] <bastid_raZor> rickey .. all in a days work
[02:09] <rickey> that you read
[02:09] <bobbob1016> JESTER, first off, all of my ATI's work fine, my x600, and my 9200, if you say what isn't working with it, it might help too.  I've asked questions places, and went to dinner before I got a response
[02:09] <JESTER> i told u im at the xserver menu and dont know what to do since already on VESA
[02:09] <bethany> here's a tip don't run 3d desktop in xfce :|
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> 10 whole minutes ago huh?... lol,
[02:09] <bobbob1016> JESTER, why are you in the xserver menu again?  I missed that
[02:10] <JESTER> might have been more
[02:10] <bastid_raZor> xfce is meant to be for low end hardware..?
[02:10] <JESTER> well thats when i asked
[02:10] <jrib> JESTER: pretend someone just joined the channel and wants to help you.  Ask the question on a single line and give him enough information to help you
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> bastid_raZor: basically
[02:10] <JESTER> ive had linux for 2 days
[02:10] <bethany> <sells all ati hardware for nvidia hardware
[02:10] <bastid_raZor> IndyGunFreak, which is why 3d anything would be iffy..
[02:10] <bastid_raZor> bethany,  agreed
[02:10] <GIn> azureus always crashes on my ubuntu system :(
[02:10] <noobuser> is it possible to create a software raid 1 when in the live cd and have ubuntu 7 install into that? if so, is there any documentation on how to do that?
[02:10] <bastid_raZor> GIn, Ktorrent is much better
[02:11] <bastid_raZor> GIn, apt-get install ktorrent
[02:11] <JESTER> i have a ATI radon 9250, I need the drivers for it because it keeps trying to use both my intel and ati and it wigges out and restarts.. I need to know if its even possible to get it to work.
[02:11] <bobbob1016> I personally prefer ATI to Nvidia, since my Nvidia broke down, and two other friends had the same issue, and they said it wasn't them, and I missed months of playing Earth and Beyond, but that's besides the point
[02:11] <IndyGunFreak> bastid_raZor: very true.
[02:11] <bethany> so what do I have to do exactly to get my server on the web
[02:11] <ipx> deluge is nice too, especially on gnome
[02:11] <PriceChild> bethany, "on the web" ?
[02:11] <bethany> I mean with a domain name
[02:11] <bobbob1016> JESTER, try disabling your Intel card in the BIOS
[02:12] <JESTER> its not there!
[02:12] <bethany> just get a domain and feed it my ip and port
[02:12] <bethany> ?
[02:12] <JESTER> and its on the main board but theres no video options
[02:12] <PriceChild> bethany, yeah... but you're probably on a dynamic ip. I use no-ip.info which is free and works a charm
[02:12] <rickey> can you read this better
[02:12] <ipx> bethany: yes, www.dyndns.org is a nice free dns
[02:12] <bethany> oh I can do it for free :)
[02:13] <bastid_raZor> PriceChild, so is dyndns.com
[02:13] <Ahadiel> bethany, Many routers offer automatic updating of dyndns and no-ip domains
[02:13] <PriceChild> bastid_raZor, yes :)
[02:13] <Ahadiel> imo buy a domain and use http://afraid.org
[02:13] <PriceChild> bethany, ubuntu also has no-ip in the repos, so that your machine will poll no-ip and keep their records of where you are updated
[02:13] <bastid_raZor> bethany you're in the open source world now.. everything is free
[02:13] <IndyGunFreak> bastid_raZor: well, not everything
[02:13] <JESTER> ill reboot and see if i can find this intel thing
[02:13] <PriceChild> bastid_raZor, except beer
[02:13] <bastid_raZor> heh
[02:13] <bobbob1016> JESTER, I'm trying to help, there is no reason to yell or get angry, I've gone hours waiting for a response.  We help here in our spare time.  I'd look into the BIOS more, since it worked fine on my Dell with an Intel onboard card, and my ATI PCI card, it didn't get confused
[02:13] <bethany> well Ive been using linux for 3 days now
[02:14] <JESTER> im not
[02:14] <JESTER> i just type with expression because well i cant do really anything with this old intel thing
[02:14] <bastid_raZor> IndyGunFreak, if you don't mind getting a cdkey or product key here and there.. the world is a freebie
[02:14] <bethany> my bro put it on my laptop and I read that I could make a server with my ancient computer
[02:14] <rickey> i am trying to make my type easyer fpr you all to read
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> bastid_raZor: true i guess.
[02:14] <Ahadiel> bethany, Yup it's super easy
[02:14] <bastid_raZor> bethany i did the same thing.. apache~!
[02:14] <bethany> so I put 6.06.1 server on it
[02:14] <Ahadiel> why nto 7.04?
[02:14] <JESTER> sorry if u got pissed
[02:14] <bethany> I have apache2 and php5
[02:14] <Ahadiel> not*
[02:14] <rickey> i am trying to darken it
[02:15] <bastid_raZor> bethany heh, i put ubuntu 7.04 and installed apache
[02:15] <bluebanana>  I did "ssh mysite.com" but nothing is happening. The cursor just went down a line and keeps blinking. Help.
[02:15] <JESTER> but i just trying to figure this out and its giving me a headache
[02:15] <bethany> but I'm just starting to use php
[02:15] <bobbob1016> JESTER, also, one line per statement please, this isn't an aim chat, there are a lot of people in here, easier to read
[02:15] <rickey> or color it somehow
[02:15] <bluebanana> how do i ssh into my website
[02:15] <bluebanana> ?
[02:15] <Ahadiel> bluebanana, Did you make sure your ports were forwarded?
[02:15] <dacorr> you turn a pda into a server linux is just so tweakable
[02:15] <PriceChild> bethany, have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP ?
[02:15] <Ahadiel> and umm, it only works if sshd is running
[02:15] <bluebanana> Ahadiel, i didn't do any thing with my ports
[02:15] <bethany> the ubuntu site said 6.06.1 had longer support
[02:15] <bethany> no
[02:15] <bethany> lol
[02:15] <bluebanana> Ahadiel, if i need to do that, please advise
[02:15] <bastid_raZor> bethany, true. but newer is better ;)
[02:15] <JESTER> ILL restart and go see some more
[02:15] <IndyGunFreak> bethany: unless you're paying for support, that is pretty much useless
[02:16] <JESTER> but i just dont know
[02:16] <Drk_Guy> Guys
[02:16] <PriceChild> bethany, that'll give lots of hints on how to get it going perfectly
[02:16] <PriceChild> IndyGunFreak, its stable
[02:16] <bethany> well I'm doing all this for fun
[02:16] <Ahadiel> bluebanana, Chances are you need to go to your router's web panel, and setup port forwarding for port 22.
[02:16] <Drk_Guy> How cani install a driver from Windowze into Linux
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> PriceChild: well, true... but feisty is pretty stable.
[02:16] <PriceChild> IndyGunFreak, in our opinion :P
[02:16] <bethany> I guess not being able to afford windows could make me a geek :|
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> :)
[02:16] <bluebanana> Ahadiel, how do i go to webpanel?
[02:16] <Ahadiel> bluebanana, What's your router's model?
[02:16] <bobbob1016> Drk_Guy, you can't to the best of my knowledge, apart from wifi drivers
[02:16] <bethany> I'm just surprised I haven't broken anything yet
[02:16] <bluebanana> Ahadiel, I have to let you know that the website is NOT on my computer. it's on a web-hosting company's machines
[02:17] <Drk_Guy> D'oh
[02:17] <huff_> bethany: you will
[02:17] <Drk_Guy> Not even in wine?
[02:17] <Ahadiel> bluebanana, Well then you can't SSH in lol
[02:17] <bethany> I will lol
[02:17] <bluebanana> Ahadiel, i don't understand why my router is involved
[02:17] <bluebanana> ok
[02:17] <Ahadiel> Unless they are running sshd
[02:17] <bastid_raZor> bluebanana, your router is your access to the world. all things pass through the router
[02:18] <bethany> I think life would be harder if the shell didn't have a history
[02:18] <rickey> i give up
[02:18] <bastid_raZor> up arrow is your friend
[02:18] <bobbob1016> Drk_Guy, why would you want to?
[02:18] <bluebanana> How do i figure out whether I can install a database (mysql,  PostgreSQL, etc) or whether the website (hosted on a server by webhosting company) has them?
[02:18] <Mike22e> i was playing with the login manager.. and now i cant get to the login screen.. blank screen.. any ideas? i tried deleting .gconf  .gnome .gnome2.. still same thing.. this sooo fristrating.. please help
[02:18] <bluebanana> bastid_raZor, i see
[02:18] <bethany> rickey don't give up
[02:18] <Drk_Guy> I want to flash my phone from Linux, and i need those drivers to do it
[02:18] <Drk_Guy> bobbob1016
[02:18] <rickey> i cant do the simplist thing
[02:18] <animejeroe> Where do I go to talk with someone about using FN keys on a laptop?
[02:19] <Ahadiel> bluebanana, ... Yeah, it should've said when you bought the hosting
[02:19] <bethany> what are you trying to do rickey
[02:19] <Ahadiel> animejeroe, All of mine work
[02:19] <morodock_> vanberge: sorry, was afk, but yeah, if you can't ping the other system... it won't work, need open communication between the 2 servers
[02:19] <Ahadiel> animejeroe, Except for the media ones
[02:19] <rickey> i what to change my text color
[02:19] <animejeroe> Ahadiel - with original install? I am using a Sony Laptop
[02:19] <morodock_> vanberge: I'm assuming they are both on the same lan correct?
[02:19] <vanberge> morodock_, np... i was afk myself.
[02:19] <bethany> lol on what
[02:19] <Ahadiel> animejeroe, Hrm, I've read about some troubles with sony's fn keys
[02:19] <vanberge> morodock_, yes... and i have successful connection now... just trying to figure out how to use it
[02:19] <softwork> iphone?
[02:19] <Ahadiel> I'm on an HP
[02:19] <bobbob1016> Drk_Guy, I would think the program would be the thing, not the drivers.  I wouldn't risk doing that in Wine or anything, since it could have an emulation issue in the middle of flashing, and you'd be phoneless
[02:19] <softwork> yes
[02:19] <softwork> ok send it
[02:20] <Ahadiel> animejeroe, I'd suggest searching the ubuntuforums
[02:20] <bluebanana> Folks. All I want to do is make a simple personal Website. It has a few pages (About Us Page, Listen to some Messages page, Maps page, etc). What is the simplest way to do this? I don't want to bother with HTML coding for now, though I plan to in the _future_. Your advice?
[02:20] <Drk_Guy> WoW, you right!!!
[02:20] <animejeroe> I have read about some people who have created scripts, but they dont work on the FRV series.
[02:20] <Grungebunny> anyone know where the guide is to get gdesklets to run on startup?
[02:20] <Drk_Guy> You flash phones too?
[02:20] <softwork> thx
[02:20] <animejeroe> Thats a great idea. Is that alongside theWiki?
[02:20] <bethany> I'm gonna go later guys
[02:20] <Drk_Guy> Can i help the community?
[02:20] <Ahadiel> animejeroe, http://ubuntuforums.org
[02:20] <Drk_Guy> The Lexmark automagic driver is ready for D7L
[02:20] <animejeroe> Ahadiel - Thanks! I appreciate the help
[02:21] <huff_> does anyone have rt73usb working?
[02:21] <Ahadiel> I'm positive it's there, I remember reading about it
[02:21] <Drk_Guy> nah!
[02:21] <bobbob1016> Drk_Guy, no, I haven't ever flashed a phone, no idea why you'd want to, just I know flashing anything is dangerous, and low-level, so you don't want to risk it.
[02:21] <vanberge> morodock_, is it a problem if i'm using compiz fusion on one machine?
[02:21] <Drk_Guy> It seems no one needs it
[02:21] <bobbob1016> have never*
[02:21] <Ahadiel> bluebanana, If you plan on customizing your site in the future, then learn HTML
[02:21] <Ahadiel> It's never a bad idea to learn a language (to some degree)
[02:21] <Drk_Guy> bobbob1016: I have flashed even my W300's EROM
[02:22] <intelligentia> quit
[02:22] <Drk_Guy> Everything went smoothly
[02:22] <morodock_> vanberge: not sure, I've never done that before, but I don't think it should affect it
[02:22] <vanberge> morodock_, well, i'm able to connect but dont seem to be able to move mouse around or anything
[02:22] <bobbob1016> Drk_Guy, I'm just saying, I wouldn't risk it.
[02:22] <Drk_Guy> It's right to think that
[02:23] <mneptok> Drk_Guy: no mp3 announcements in #ubuntu, please
[02:23] <Drk_Guy> Ok
[02:24] <Drk_Guy> I'll use WMP then
[02:24] <ipx> lol? :D
[02:24] <morodock_> vanberge: what are the 2 operating systems? one windows and 1 ubuntu?
[02:24] <macaholic> funny guy...
[02:24] <nonanta>  my ubuntu server doesn't shutdown completely.i think it has something to do with acpi.how do i remove acpi of my system?i have already added a lot of things like noacpi to my /boot/grub/menu.lst but that doesn't work
[02:24] <mneptok> Drk_Guy: you're welcome to try. i wouldn't.
[02:24] <linuxnoob> where do i go to configure a static ip address on my network card? and is there a gui for managing my firewall?
[02:24] <vanberge> morodock_,  both ubuntu 7.04
[02:24] <kitche> Drk_Guy, or you could just turn that script off
[02:25] <Drk_Guy> I'm on WS rite now mneptok, you master
[02:25] <Drk_Guy> lol
[02:25] <Ahadiel> nonanta, You add noacpi to the boot up thing
[02:25] <Heady> hello, i want to go to bed, but i dont want to turn off my computer, how to turn off ubuntu in exact time ??
[02:25] <ipx> Drk_Guy: then go ubuntu :)
[02:25] <mneptok> WS?
[02:25] <Ahadiel> nonanta, or maybe it was acpi=off
[02:25] <Paddy_EIRE> linuxnoob: firestarter for a gui to your firewall
[02:25] <Drk_Guy> kitche, idk how, i just use WMP instead
[02:25] <PriceChild> Heady, sudo shutdown -h hour:minute
[02:25] <Drk_Guy> ipx, Wine doesn't work for flashing my phone, gotta be in Windows
[02:25] <PriceChild> Heady, sudo shutdown -h +<howmany minutes into the future>
[02:25] <nonanta> Ahadiel: no i have already tried that
[02:26] <mneptok> Drk_Guy: and i meant "you're welcome to try announcing again from WMP, but i wouldn't."
[02:26] <ipx> Drk_Guy: oh but you are using ubuntu otherwise huh
[02:26] <Ahadiel> nonanta, Sorry m8, I can't be of more help then =/
[02:26] <linuxnoob> Paddy_EIRE: where is that?
[02:26] <Drk_Guy> Yep ipx
[02:26] <ipx> :)
[02:26] <ipx> <3
[02:26] <Heady> PriceChild: thx !!
[02:26] <Ahadiel> Drk_Guy, If it's being connected via usb, then use vmware?
[02:26] <Drk_Guy> mneptok: The script only works with WinAmp
[02:26] <Drk_Guy> Vmware?
[02:26] <PriceChild> Heady, "man shutdown" for more
[02:26] <Drk_Guy> Emulation sucks
[02:26] <Paddy_EIRE> linuxnoob: your firewall gui
[02:26] <Ahadiel> Drk_Guy, Lies
[02:26] <Ahadiel> Emulation owns.
[02:26] <mneptok> Drk_Guy: well, please disable that script when using Ubuntu channels.
[02:26] <Drk_Guy> Lies?
[02:26] <morodock_> vanberge: not sure what to tell you. Usually the trick is to get them connected, once they are connected it's very straight forward. If it's not working then maybe there is something else complicating it like compiz. but I've used it on numerous OS'es before without incident.
[02:26] <Drk_Guy> Ok
[02:27] <linuxnoob> Paddy_EIRE: yeah, where is it?
[02:27] <ipx> Drk_Guy: you should try it
[02:27] <Drk_Guy> The d/l is too big
[02:27] <ipx> Im using virtual box and its working like a charm
[02:27] <ipx> uh?
[02:27] <ipx> too big?
[02:27] <ipx> :P
[02:27] <Drk_Guy> I'll fool my school to fo it
[02:27] <Ahadiel> You can even use VMware player
[02:27] <Ahadiel> uber small
[02:28] <Ahadiel> and use http://easyvmx.com to setup a vm
[02:28] <Drk_Guy> Vmware is soo heavy
[02:28] <Paddy_EIRE> linuxnoob: you can use add/remove... or in a terminal type 'sudo apt-get install firestarter'
[02:28] <linuxnoob> oh ok
[02:28] <Drk_Guy> I'll discuss thast later (When i'm on Ubuntu)
[02:28] <Drk_Guy> Ah
[02:28] <kitche> is there a way to change the nickname colors in xchat the dark blue is so hard to read with my wallpaper in it
[02:28] <Drk_Guy> But i'm kinda on Ubuntu rite now
[02:28] <Drk_Guy> My Windows has the Human theme
[02:28] <Drk_Guy> Yep
[02:28] <Paddy_EIRE> linuxnoob: as for setting a static ip... im not so sure networking is not one of my strong points
[02:28] <Paddy_EIRE> yet
[02:29] <Drk_Guy> The same from Ubuntu
[02:29] <ipx> You cant be serious?
[02:29] <Drk_Guy> mneptok: If you hate Gnome, why you don't use Kde or Fluxbox instead?
[02:29] <Ahadiel> mneptok, Then why are you in #ubuntu
[02:29] <Drk_Guy> Yep Ipx
[02:29] <tallia1> hello everybody
[02:29] <mneptok> Drk_Guy: that's not what i said.
[02:29] <Drk_Guy> I'll give you the link
[02:29] <Drk_Guy> Sorry then mneptok
[02:29] <mneptok> Ahadiel: pardon me?

[02:30] <nickrud> kitche, settings -> prefs -> colors, you'll have to experiment
[02:30] <tallia1> perhaps an OFF-TOPIC question, but somebody of you might know... What is the /etc/init.d/ folder in macosx?
[02:30] <Ahadiel> Mail User Agent
[02:30] <kitche> nickrud, well I don't see anything for nicknames in there
[02:30] <mneptok> Ahadiel: precisely

[02:30] <mneptok> Ahadiel: and if you want to know why i'm here, /whois mneptok  ;)
[02:30] <macaholic> linuxnoob: what kind of router do u have?
[02:30] <ipx> Drk_Guy: thats just pathetic :P
[02:31] <ipx> Why not just be in ubuntu?
[02:31] <Drk_Guy> Pathetic, but a lil' approach
[02:31] <Drk_Guy> ;)
[02:31] <Ahadiel> mneptok, My apologies :)
[02:31] <mneptok> Ahadiel: none necessary
[02:31] <spinexorz> hi all, im having a problem here trying to start GDM over SSH with a specific session so i can VNC into it, i left it set to Xgl which is no good for me right now, i need to start GDM which is set to log in automatically log in, with the default gnome-session and my PC is in north america and im all the way in south america
[02:31] <mneptok> taht was more for your curiosity than an ego-stroke. Hobbsee tore off my ego and sold it on eBay *months* ago.
[02:31] <spinexorz> is there a way to do this?
[02:32] <kitche> nickrud, thanks that helped :)
[02:32] <nickrud> kitche, just one more thing to love about xchat, the ease of configuration :)
[02:32] <vanberge> would anybody be willing to help me troubleshoot synergy?  have connection but cant do much else
[02:32] <linuxnoob> macaholic: why do you want to know?
[02:32] <macaholic> linuxnoob: u wanted to get a static ip address to work right?
[02:33] <EvanR> what is the latest version of freetype that ubuntu has in its repo
[02:33] <kitche> nickrud, I m not use to it so that's why i asked was an irssi user but wanted something gui
[02:33] <nickrud> kitche, that was irony, I hope
[02:33] <linuxnoob> macaholic: no, i wanted to know where to configure my ip address settings in ubuntu
[02:33] <kitche> nickrud, nope I barely touched the gui until lately lol
[02:34] <macaholic> linuxnoob: system > administration > network
[02:34] <macaholic> linuxnoob: then you click the connection you are using and properties
[02:34] <spinexorz> hi all, im having a problem here trying to start GDM over SSH with a specific session so i can VNC into it, i left it set to Xgl which is no good for me right now, i need to start GDM which is set to log in automatically, with the default gnome-session and my PC is in north america and im all the way in south america. i cant figure out where gdm stores the last session used
[02:36] <Paddy_EIRE> hey Pelo

[02:37] <Ahadiel> rga, ssh user@ip
[02:38] <spinexorz> i tihnk he is asking how the whole thing gets done
[02:38] <linuxnoob> macaholic: i guess when your running the live cd they don't really give you many tools to use
[02:38] <rga> Ahadiel, tranks
[02:38] <linuxnoob> macaholic: oh nvm its their :)
[02:38] <Ahadiel> rga, np
[02:38] <spinexorz> BTW i cant simply startx because i also have an xauthority problem so my user cant "startx"
[02:38] <spinexorz> :(
[02:39] <Ahadiel> linuxnoob, Basically what you see in the livecd, is what you get in a fresh install
[02:40] <Pelo> Paddy_EIRE,  don'T you agree that linux users get enough free stuff , and that windows users need a break ?
[02:40] <spinexorz> yup, it sucks
[02:40] <Drk_Guy> Paddy_EIRE: Just Wine the free GooglePack one
[02:41] <spinexorz> LOL
[02:41] <Paddy_EIRE> Pelo: no, :P
[02:41] <spinexorz> pelo: i dont think but theyre deffinitely turning the tables on us LMAO
[02:41] <faileas> Paddy_EIRE: knowing google, its a matter of time
[02:41] <Pelo> Paddy_EIRE,  you do realise that start office is basicaly the same as OOo ?
[02:41] <Paddy_EIRE> Drk_Guy: kinda defeats the purpose
[02:41] <Drk_Guy> Why Paddy_EIRE
[02:41] <Pelo> Paddy_EIRE, how much anyway ?
[02:42] <Paddy_EIRE> Pelo: yeah, but staroffice has extra compatibility with M$ office
[02:42] <Paddy_EIRE> Drk_Guy: I do as much as I can to use native apps
[02:42] <Pelo> Paddy_EIRE,  think of it as a MSO killer to help transition to OOo
[02:42] <Drk_Guy> It's up to you d00d
[02:42] <linuxnoob> what does it mean where there is an ubuntu icon next to a package in synaptic?
[02:43] <brand0con> im having issues downloading torrents on ubuntu.  ive tried about 3 or 4 different programs (i dont think all java based, maybe 3 of em) and they all freeze my system,  any ideas
[02:43] <Ahadiel> brand0con, deluge-torrent
[02:43] <brand0con> tried it
[02:43] <Pelo> linuxboy_,  that it is garantied to work , probably it was made by the ppl in cannonical, other packages might have been made for debian or by the community
[02:43] <Paddy_EIRE> brand0con: have you tried deluge or transmission
[02:43] <Drk_Guy> Stupid propietary apps!
[02:43] <Ahadiel> brand0con, Works fine for me.
[02:43] <Pelo> brand0con,  utorrent on wine is still the best
[02:43] <Drk_Guy> Whoo!
[02:43] <Drk_Guy> uTorrent!
[02:44] <Drk_Guy> And open the port with Firestarter!!!
[02:44] <Paddy_EIRE> :P
[02:44] <brand0con> i may just do that.  ive tried ktorrent, the included bittorrent client, azureus and deluge
[02:44] <brand0con> all crash my shit
[02:44] <jamser> hello im new using this ubuntus thingy
[02:44] <brand0con> err stuff

[02:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sata - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:44] <jamser> what is the best hardrive manages for ubuntus?
[02:45] <Pelo> !best | Jammer
[02:45] <ubotu> Jammer: 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.
[02:45] <brand0con> lol ubuntus
[02:45] <Paddy_EIRE> Pelo: why dont they just create a native app instead of wasting time with wine
[02:45] <Drk_Guy> Pelo and mneptok are the best
[02:45] <bloodytux> Hey, I have a problem with switching users. It says I'm not logged into the console. Any ideas?
[02:45] <qazwsx> how do I install 32-bit opengl on a 64bit amd system? (need it to rnu google earth)
[02:45] <brand0con> any other bittorrent client suggestions out there that dont crash ubuntu?
[02:45] <Pelo> Paddy_EIRE,  I donT' know I don't hangout there anymore , I hang out here, but I understand that bittorrent is working on it
[02:45] <dho_ragus> brand0con: bt_headless ?
[02:46] <macaholic> who really NEEDS to run google earth? :p
[02:46] <Kitsun> Azureus has never crashed for me
[02:46] <Pelo> macaholic,  is that a trick question ?
[02:46] <mmvii> brand0con have you tried the client that comes with ubuntu?
[02:46] <bloodytux> Another thing I get is a error message,
[02:46] <bloodytux> (gdmflexiserver:21086): Gtk-WARNING **: Ignoring the separator setting
[02:46] <Paddy_EIRE> Pelo: good to hear, dont get me wrong utorrent does rock... got my mate using it almost always
[02:46] <brand0con> yes
[02:46] <Pelo> Kitsun, it just uses half of your resources
[02:46] <qazwsx> macaholic: what should I run instead?
[02:46] <macaholic> pelo: u tell me
[02:46] <partybitch> HI ALL I new user
[02:46] <qazwsx> macaholic: is there a linux open source client?
[02:46] <partybitch> HI ALL I new user
[02:47] <Pelo> hello partybitch
[02:47] <wastrel> google earth runs on linux
[02:47] <macaholic> qazwsx: it runs natively
[02:47] <brand0con> what command might i be able to run to find an error report after a crash like that or will one not be generated since its a lock up?  dmesg i assume?
[02:47] <mikebot> Does anyone here burn DVDs in ubuntu?
[02:47] <nofxx> there is how ignore empty space with `dd` ?  wanna backup my OS... 2gb on a 60gb partition
[02:47] <Miso> I installed JRE 6 in add/remove and it's not working
[02:47] <fsckr> there is a website that shows ubuntus equilavent programs to microsoft does anyone have that link?  I have lost it
[02:47] <Ahadiel> mikebot, Get brasero
[02:47] <Miso> firefox still says i am missing a plugin
[02:47] <Paddy_EIRE> !anyone | mikebot
[02:47] <ubotu> mikebot: 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?
[02:47] <qazwsx> macaholic: it requires 32bit opengl; I only have 64bit
[02:47] <partybitch> I need dns
[02:47] <Pelo> Paddy_EIRE, I donT' garranty anyting,  I'm pretty much out of the loop since I got in a row with darkwingknight , and that was a bit before the bittorrent takeover
[02:47] <bloodytux> So no one has that problem too?
[02:48] <Pelo> partybitch,  please donT' pm members,  talk to use in the channel,
[02:48] <joshritger> what do I need to access windows shared directories?
[02:48] <Paddy_EIRE> Pelo: well I'll keep checking in from time to time

[02:48] <bloodytux> !gdmflexiserver:21086
[02:48] <partybitch>  :] 
[02:48] <macaholic> qazwsx: im not a 64 bit expert, you should direct that to the 64 bit ubuntu forum
[02:48] <mikebot> OK, when I burn DVD movies, there seem to be some parts of the movies that skip a little. I'm not sure if this is because of the conversion from like 7 gb to 4.3 gb. I use k9 copy I believe. Anyone else having this problem?
[02:48] <FruitLoop> Anyone know how to make a USB mic work?
[02:48] <Pelo> do we have a lavtian channel ?
[02:48] <Paddy_EIRE> Pelo: was it a rough team to work with..?
[02:48] <Rafaell> can i run a file .run . in security mode ?
[02:48] <Miso> Why does firefox still tell me I am missing the JRE plugin after installing JRE 6 with add/remove?
[02:48] <partybitch> what ?
[02:48] <joshritger> I can't get it to see my windows shares? any reason why it wouldn't?

[02:49] <Paddy_EIRE> Miso: 2 seperate things
[02:49] <bloodytux> nvm, adios.
[02:49] <Paddy_EIRE> Miso: 1 sec
[02:49] <Ahadiel> joshritger, Get the IP of the computer you want, and enter the share name.
[02:49] <Kitsun> Samba has always been a bit unreliable when I use it
[02:49] <partybitch> i dot speak :[
[02:49] <brand0con> what terminal command can i use to locate my probelm if another torrent prog crashes
[02:49] <mikebot> Ahadiel: Have you ever had any problems with that program?
[02:49] <Ahadiel> mikebot, Well, I use it for burning data DVD's
[02:49] <Paddy_EIRE> brand0con: start the app in the terminal
[02:49] <Rafaell> can i run a file .run . in security mode ?
[02:49] <Kitsun> I just restart all the windows boxes and it seems to work
[02:49] <brand0con> oh simple enough
[02:49] <joshritger> I used to be able to see windows shares, would settings in samba mess seeing them up?
[02:50] <brand0con> thx
[02:50] <partybitch> you from england ?
[02:50] <dho_ragus> Rafaell: i'm not sure what "security mode" you're talking about, but i'd imagine you could.
[02:50] <mikebot> Ahadiel: Ah.. do you burn movie DVDs?
[02:50] <Pelo> Paddy_EIRE,  there was only one dev : ludde. most ppl were ok,  I pretty took over the support channel for a while,  but this dwk guy is one of those old time hackers,  perfect for #debian, if you get my drift
[02:50] <partybitch> you from england ?
[02:50] <Rafaell> terminal
[02:50] <Ahadiel> mikebot, On Windows I used Sony Vegas, not sure for Linux.
[02:50] <mikebot> Ahadiel: OK, thanks.
[02:50] <Kitsun> Joshritger, sometimes I have this problem, but its only temporary
[02:50] <Rafaell> can i run a file .run in terminal ?
[02:50] <Pelo> partybitch,  we need a better question,  what about dns do you need to know ?
[02:50] <Paddy_EIRE> Pelo: oh I know the kind
[02:50] <dho_ragus> Rafaell: yes.
[02:50] <joshritger> ok, maybe I need to restart
[02:50] <Rafaell> how
[02:50] <Kitsun> thats what i DO
[02:51] <dho_ragus> Rafaell: bash ./filename.run

[02:55] <bluebanana> Friends, what's the easiest way to create a simple website? (I don't want to learn HTML coding for now)
[02:55] <Pelo> partybitch, ?
[02:55] <Twelve-60> bluebanana: dreamweaver?
[02:55] <Pelo> guys how do we get the dns ?
[02:55] <Paddy_EIRE> !grub | linuxnoob
[02:55] <ubotu> linuxnoob: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[02:55] <bluebanana> easiest and free way. simple, but elegant website.
[02:55] <Twelve-60> bluebanana: Oh, free..
[02:56] <bluebanana> Twelve-60, dreamweaver is affordable only on my dreams, i think
[02:56] <Paddy_EIRE> bluebanana: kompozer is available through getdeb.net
[02:56] <linuxnoob> thanks
[02:56] <Kitsun> I used somthing called Nvu before (I think) seemed an ok website maker
[02:56] <bluebanana> Paddy_EIRE, i've recently downloaded kompozer
[02:56] <tonyyarusso> Paddy_EIRE: possibly quite soon in repos as well for gutsy, with others built.  Add to the list:
[02:56] <bluebanana> it looks intimidating, Paddy_EIRE. All that blank white space.
[02:56] <tonyyarusso> !nvu | Paddy_EIRE, Kitsun, bluebanana
[02:56] <ubotu> Paddy_EIRE, Kitsun, bluebanana: nvu is a WYSIWYG and code dual-function HTML editor for easily creating web pages.  The original developer is working on a full rewrite; meanwhile, another is doing bugfixes.  It is not in the Ubuntu repos for Feisty Fawn, but add your name to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WaitingForNvuFeisty to be notified when packages are available.  See also !html.
[02:56] <bluebanana> is there no template i can use
[02:57] <Pelo> partybitch,   sorry,   #ubuntu-lv
[02:57] <bluebanana> tonyyarusso, is nvu better than kompozer?
[02:57] <partybitch> BIG THX :)
[02:57] <tonyyarusso> bluebanana: They're the same codebase; Nvu is older - KompoZer picked up where it left off.
[02:57] <Paddy_EIRE> tonyyarusso: yeah I know but kompozer is a fork of nvu while we all wait for the next release
[02:57] <aguitel_> anyone have modem adsl speedtream 4060?
[02:57] <Superkuh> How could I check if hardware tcp checksum offloading is enabled on my NIC under feisty?
[02:58] <bluebanana> tonyyarusso, so why are you telling me about nvu then if kompozer is newer?
[02:58] <bluebanana> 8-)
[02:58] <Paddy_EIRE> tonyyarusso: as far as I know nvu aint in the feisty repos and kompozer out performs it at te moment
[02:58] <wastrel> nvu is gtk
[02:58] <tonyyarusso> Paddy_EIRE: The next release by the guy who was developing Nvu will be quite some time from now and very very different.  (ie, don't look for any further releases of anything called Nvu)
[02:58] <osxon> I'm not sure I understand what it means to install RAM in pairs. My computer takes 4 sticks. I have one 512 and I'd like to add 1GB. Can I stick the 1GB in slot 3 and leave the 512 stick in slot 1?
[02:58] <tonyyarusso> bluebanana: Silly naming of a wiki page - long story.
[02:59] <Paddy_EIRE> :D
[02:59] <bluebanana> tonyyarusso,  i see
[02:59] <wastrel> osxon:  go to crucial.com and search for your ram, there will be a Q & A section which will explain whether or not you need to have paired sticks
[02:59] <wastrel> osxon:  it depends on your mobo and the type of ram it takes
[02:59] <osxon> wastrel: I did: it said I have to pair them. But I'm not sure exactly what that means.
[02:59] <Paddy_EIRE> tonyyarusso: cant wait to see what comes of nvu
[03:00] <mmvii> oxson it's for dual channel they need to be the same
[03:00] <osxon> mmvii: odd. crucial said my machine doesnt support dual channel ram
[03:00] <Paddy_EIRE> tonyyarusso: is there any way of tracking the progress
[03:01] <joe__> exit
[03:01] <joe__> \ed
[03:01] <joe__> quit
[03:01] <mmvii> oxson what mobo?
[03:01] <osxon> its an Optiplex GX620 P4 2.8 ghz. There is one stick of 512 and i want to add a 1GB. I'm not sure I can, can I?
[03:01] <mmvii> oxson what ram? rdram?
[03:01] <TheZuul> omg noobs
[03:02] <osxon> mmvii: not exactly sure ATM, not on that machine. I'm sure its intel.
[03:02] <bluebanana> in kompozer / Page Background, how is White different from transparent?
[03:02] <tonyyarusso> Paddy_EIRE: kind of - poke your head in #ubuntu-mozillateam and #ubuntu-motu over the next two weeks ;)  There's a mailing list on SF, but underutilized so far.

[03:02] <floppyears> hi guys I'm tyring to install lirc from source
[03:03] <floppyears> but it tells me: you need to have the Linux kernel source installed for this driver
[03:03] <netdur> what does it mean by "nice -10"?
[03:03] <Pelo> floppyears, have you ever compiled from sourrce ?
[03:03] <floppyears> Pelo: yes
[03:03] <floppyears> Pelo: but I can't remember if this means that I need to compile my kernel from source
[03:03] <floppyears> or if ubuntu has some packages that I can use
[03:03] <Pelo> netdur, nice is a priority manager,  10 is default , higher means less priority , lower means more
[03:03] <wastrel> netdur:  it tells the kernel to give that program more system resources
[03:04] <wastrel> so it will run faster/better
[03:04] <Pelo> floppyears, I can't tell you , I,ve never had any kernel stuff come up , isnt, llirc in the repos ?
[03:04] <netdur> so I shouldn't worry?
[03:04] <wastrel> floppyears:  you just need the headers
[03:04] <Pelo> netdur, no
[03:04] <netdur> cool, thanks
[03:05] <Pelo> netdur, it's good if you decide to run a high resouce task in the background while you want to keep working on the comp, like encoding a dvd and surfing the net at the same time
[03:05] <tacos_ub1ntu> I am having trouble connecting my ubuntu machine to my network at home
[03:05] <floppyears> thanks wastrel

[03:06] <macaholic> mrvino: did u try saving the settings?
[03:06] <Konsole> im trying to install steam but when i try and load it it says that it cannot find bin/vgui2.dll when it is there someone help please?

[03:07] <Dustycartel> wow i made it in.  hello all.
[03:07] <mrvino> macaholic: no I didn't know you could or that it was possible.  Can you please tell me how?
[03:07] <Pelo> Konsole, get the vgui2.dll and put it in /bin then
[03:07] <kost_> !uninstall
[03:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about uninstall - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:07] <Pelo> hello Dustycartel
[03:07] <Konsole> it is in the /bin
[03:07] <Pelo> kost_,  uninstall what ?
[03:07] <fsckr> I just installed gnome-commander and the icons are HUGE....if you run this program do you have a problem with that? If so how can I change the size
[03:07] <Pelo> Konsole, hmm, is it spelled exactly the same ?  case counts
[03:07] <mmvii> osxon it's installed in pairs as far as I ca see, so no
[03:07] <Konsole> Pelo: yes
[03:08] <kost_> Pelo, Well I would like to learn how to uninstall Linux Ubuntu without losing my data. (its not that i didnt like it i just feel like alone)
[03:08] <bkudria> can someone help me get my swap working?  when i try to enable it, i get this error: http://pastebin.ca/660490 .  what's going on?
[03:08] <macaholic> mrvino: alsactl i think
[03:08] <tacos_ub1ntu> anyone know how to fix it?
[03:09] <Pelo> kost_, I have no idea what the stuff in brackets meant but no matter,   will you still be using a linux os or will you be using just windows ?
[03:09] <abarbaccia> hello all, i want to change the permissions on hdb every time the system boots - which config file do i change to accomplish that?
[03:09] <macaholic> mrvino: im sorry its alsactl store
[03:09] <Konsole> Pelo: any ideas?
[03:09] <osxon> mmvii: so if I have 512 in slot 1 i need to put 512 in slot 2?
[03:10] <tacos_ub1ntu> is there any way to make irssi not display people joining and leaving?
[03:10] <kost_> Pelo I will just use Windows. I want to get rid of linux and GRUB thing w/o having to format my pc. Is this possible?
[03:10] <Pelo> Konsole, not realy, sorry , is steam a linux native app or are you runing it on wine ? maybe the ppl in #winehq would know
[03:10] <Konsole> wine
[03:10] <MBR666> osxon, yes
[03:10] <Konsole> alright
[03:10] <Pelo> kost_, yes it is
[03:10] <mrvino> macaholic: Thank you! :-D
[03:10] <macaholic> mrvino: did it work?
[03:10] <NKUMike> hey I am trying to open a network share (windows machine) through ubuntu and it shows the computer but when I double click it i get the error: The folder contents could not be displayed, Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: desktop".
[03:10] <kost_> Pelo Explain me please mate. If you can though.
[03:10] <Pelo> kost_,  for the grub thing you will need to get the grub super cd to restore your windows mbr
[03:10] <MBR666> osox it's best to do memory upgrades in pairs. and was even more true back in the days
[03:10] <abarbaccia_> hello all, i want to change the permissions on hdb every time the system boots - which config file do i change to accomplish that?
[03:11] <kost_> Pelo Ouch! Is there anyway to guide me through on how to do it? :|
[03:11] <fsckr> abarbaccia_, im assuming that would be /etc/fstab
[03:11] <MBR666> NKUMike,  might be do to permissions on the windows machine, is it a windows 2000, xp machine?
[03:11] <NKUMike> XP and then Vista
[03:11] <osxon> MBR666: What about 1:512, 2:512, 3:1024 4:0   (slots) - is that bad?
[03:11] <Paddy_EIRE> kost_: google is great :p
[03:11] <tacos_ub1ntu> can anyone help me connect my ubuntu machine to my others ?
[03:11] <Pelo> kost_, to retreive your data well ... you might want to use ntfs-3g to get read/write access to your ntfs ( windows ) so you can copy yor files over)
[03:12] <fsckr> !samba | tacos_ub1ntu
[03:12] <chrisLAbeard> anyone ever install and got synergy working w/ ubuntu?
[03:12] <ubotu> tacos_ub1ntu: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[03:12] <NKUMike> they both can share to each other I thought I opened up the permissions on the windows machines all the way
[03:12] <Pelo> kost_, to remove ubuntu you just need to clear the partiton and make a new one , in ntfs or in fat32
[03:12] <MBR666> osxon, depending on the memory type no it's not bad. but i would recommend going either 512x2 or 1024x2 whatever you're willing to spend on
[03:12] <Pelo> !grub > kost_  check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[03:12] <mmvii> osxon if you check crucial it tells you they have to be in pairs
[03:12] <ubuntu_> hola
[03:12] <KleRo1> hello, can someone tell me how i can handle a .bin and .cue file on ubuntu?
[03:13] <gcleric_> NKUMike: did you give EVERYONE full control?
[03:13] <NKUMike> yes
[03:13] <MBR666> NKUMike, make sure your ubuntu system is logged on with the same user, pass as the xp, vista machines
[03:13] <osxon> mmvii: I understand... but my ram isn't in "pairs" to begin with, so it's a little ambiguous.
[03:13] <fsckr> !gnomebaker | KleRo1
[03:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gnomebaker - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:13] <Dustycartel> also.  if you run windows now and fear changing try using VMware to run ubuntu.  if you have the resources it runs wonderfull
[03:13] <Pelo> kost_, i just send you a bunch of links to grub info on one of them there is a link to the super grub cd,  it is very simple to restore the windows mbr you just boot the cd and  pick the correct option you 'll want to do the other stuff first
[03:13] <mmvii> you have only one stick?
[03:13] <sid> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
[03:13] <fsckr> KleRo1, use gnomebaker
[03:13] <gcleric_> Both share and file permissions?
[03:13] <osxon> mmvii: thats what i bought it with
[03:13] <sid> I'm in 1024x768, and there are no options for widescreen resolution
[03:13] <sid> but I have a widescreen display, so it looks bad
[03:13] <KleRo1> fsckr: thanks a lot, can i mount the image on a virtual directory with that or i can only burn cd's?
[03:13] <NKUMike> MBR666: Is there a way to get around the same username password thing?
[03:13] <kost_> Pelo ok thank you. If i need anything i will let you know buddy.
[03:14] <Paddy_EIRE> !fixres | sid
[03:14] <ubotu> sid: 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
[03:14] <Pelo> sid, you need to edit xorg.conf  and put in the resolutions you need
[03:14] <gcleric_> NKUMike: Both share and file permissions?
[03:14] <abarbaccia_> fsckr: more appropriately, i want to change the permissions of the device /dev/hdb when it is created at boot
[03:14] <fsckr> KleRo1, not sure about mounting bin files but burning the cue yes
[03:14] <sid> Pelo: How do I know the resolution I need?
[03:14] <KleRo1> okay thanks fsckr
[03:14] <fsckr> yw
[03:14] <NKUMike> gcleric_: I believe so
[03:14] <mmvii> oxson what does dell recommend?
[03:14] <Pelo> sid, I don'T know the wide screen resolutions , sorry I thin one is 1280x900 but I am not sure
[03:15] <osxon> mmvii: dont know - ill try to check
[03:15] <fsckr> abarbaccia_, i thought the permissions were set in fstab during boot
[03:15] <TacOps> holy smokes, just one or two people in here :)
[03:15] <Pelo> sid,  what resolutions can your screen do ? check the documentation that came with it
[03:15] <Pb2007> does anyone know of a txt editor ? i sorta screwd up a resolution file and i need du edit it not in X-server (dosent work cause of the error i did)
[03:15] <kost_> Pelo I have this link http://forjamari.linex.org/projects/supergrub/ which one should I click. Which one would you click actually.
[03:15] <Pelo> TacOps, it,s a quiet channel,  ubuntu doesn,t require much support
[03:15] <abarbaccia_> fsckr, those are for the mounted filesystems - i need to change the raw device permissions - its a udev thing i believe
[03:15] <Paddy_EIRE> Pb2007: nano
[03:16] <bulmer> Pb2007: you can go to a console and use vim or emacs
[03:16] <Pelo> kost_,  let me check
[03:16] <gcleric_> NKUMike: Be sure ...http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040
[03:16] <bulmer> or nano
[03:16] <Pb2007> Paddy_EIRE bulmer Thx :)
[03:16] <TacOps> Pelo, good to know I am hoping that it is Linux newbie friendly :)
[03:16] <Pelo> kost_, us the first one
[03:16] <kost_> Pelo ok wait
[03:16] <wastrel> linux has a long reputation of being newbie friendly
[03:16] <TacOps> after all these years of reading Userfriendly I made the jump to linux
[03:17] <Pelo> TacOps,  it takes a little adjustment but it's not as bad as some might think ,  I like to think of ubuntu as a good linux intro distribution
[03:17] <HappyCamp> Does anyone know if the gutsy repository is in an unstable state?  I'm getting some dependency errors with apt-get?
[03:17] <kost_> Pelo and then the first link or what? there are meny.
[03:17] <kost_> Pelo many*
[03:17] <fr0nk> hi :D does anyone know a good (freeware, GPL'ed) program to plan rooms? (draw a room and place things on it?) - since i'm moving out i want to plan my new room
[03:17] <fsckr> abarbaccia_, what about /etc/udev/rules.d?
[03:17] <wastrel> HappyCamp:  #ubuntu+1
[03:17] <abarbaccia_> im digging in it right now
[03:17] <abarbaccia_> thanks buddy
[03:17] <Pelo> kost , sigh, hold on I'll try and get you a direct one
[03:18] <TacOps> bit of a learning curve for me, just trying to get all the hardware working well, but so far I'm pretty happy with it
[03:18] <orbstra> hey I am writing a Bash script.. and I was wondering how I would go about setting a variable to the result of a command.. the command is "grep 'invalid' /var/log/auth.log"... I heard I might use something like pipe or something like that...
[03:18] <HappyCamp> fr0nk, Google SketchUp but it is Windows :(
[03:18] <wastrel> fr0nk:  if you find one let me know.  maybe dia
[03:18] <fr0nk> dia?
[03:18] <kost_> Pelo thanks. and sry for being like that but i am a bit :S
[03:18] <wastrel> fr0nk:  inkscape might work for you
[03:18] <wastrel> it's more general though, vector graphics program
[03:18] <wastrel> great tutorial tho
[03:18] <J-_> is there a boot log anywhere I can look at?
[03:18] <wastrel> !info dia
[03:18] <HappyCamp> orbstra, VAR=$( command )
[03:18] <ubotu> dia: Diagram editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.96.1-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 190 kB, installed size 544 kB
[03:18] <wastrel> J-_:  dmesg  ?
[03:18] <orbstra> HappyCamp: thnx
[03:19] <fr0nk> wastrel: thanks, i'll try it out. I have a "corporate laptop" with micro$oft visio, but i refuse to use it for private things since i like the open source idea "as it is"
[03:19] <TacOps> is there a FAQ for dummies dealing with trouble shooting vid cards ?
[03:19] <Rexor_Moon> I've got a question. For some reason, when I want to move a file through the terminal, a file which has two words with a space in between them, it won't do it.  Can someone tell me why?
[03:19] <HappyCamp> orbstra, http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[03:19] <jared> Could grub be stopping me from booting my windows cd?
[03:19] <orbstra> HappyCamp:  PERFECT! thnx once again
[03:20] <abarbaccia_> fsckr: just added in a mode argument to the permissions rule file (MODE="0666") and seeing if that takes any effect
[03:20] <HappyCamp> orbstra, no problem.
[03:20] <nickrud> Rexor_Moon, quote the file with " , or put a \ in front of the space, like word1\ word2
[03:20] <Paddy_EIRE> Rexor_Moon: wrap it in quotes "like this/"
[03:20] <fsckr> abarbaccia_,  gl
[03:20] <Rexor_Moon> ok
[03:20] <anathematic> why  does the ubuntu wiki load so slow?
[03:20] <coma> Where can i find the Log files for gaim?
[03:20] <wastrel> Rexor_Moon:  tab complete should do that automatically for you

[03:20] <Paddy_EIRE> anathematic: must be just you
[03:20] <timewriter> how do i mount NTFS partitions on Edgy ?
[03:20] <anathematic> Paddy_EIRE:  mmm i don't think so?
[03:21] <Paddy_EIRE> fine here
[03:21] <Rexor_Moon> kk, it did it, thanks for your help
[03:21] <kamon> I got a total newbie question about virtualization: what would you guys recommend VMware or Virtualbox?
[03:21] <wastrel> coma:  you have to turn on logging , it's off by default.
[03:21] <coma> i did
[03:21] <nickrud> !ntfs > timewriter (see private msg)
[03:21] <wastrel> coma:  if you turned on logging it's ~/.gaim/logs/
[03:21] <Pelo> kost_, ok I can'T find the original link I had so jjust get the first one from this page, it's probably an archived iso, you jsut un pack the archive and then burn the image to a cd    http://forjamari.linex.org/frs/?group_id=61&release_id=482
[03:21] <timewriter> thank yoyu
[03:21] <coma> alright
[03:22] <ldz420> Question: what is the different between a system user and normal user?
[03:22] <kamon> I got a total newbie question about virtualization: what would you guys recommend VMware or Virtualbox?
[03:22] <nickrud> kamon, as a total newbie to virtualization, vmware's darn easy to use ;)
[03:22] <Blacken> kamon: VMware, without a doubt.
[03:22] <Blacken> I have a computer with an ATI Radeon 7000 and I'm having trouble getting the thing to use a resolution over 800x600. The ATI restricted drivers don't seem to support the 7000. I've Googled around and have had no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[03:22] <kamon> ok thank you guys ;)
[03:22] <wastrel> ldz420:  system users are things that have an entry in /etc/password but no password or home directory and a disabled login
[03:23] <wastrel> ldz420:  at least that's my understanding of the term
[03:23] <kost_> Pelo ok great thanks. And after I do that. If I use Partition Magic (or a partition software) and delete the partition of linux and resize my windows partition will i have successfully deleted linux?
[03:23] <Pelo> Blacken,  I beleive there is a special config tool for ati cards, check in the forum for ati resolution   www.ubuntuforums.org
[03:23] <timewriter> what about ntfs-3g ?
[03:23] <timewriter> !ntfs-3g
[03:23] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[03:23] <wastrel> Blacken:  the open source driver supports that card i believe.  it should Just Work
[03:23] <ldz420> wastrel: thx
[03:23] <Blacken> wastrel: "should" is not a good word to use when it doesn't. ;)
[03:23] <Blacken> Fortunately, this isn't my machine.
[03:23] <Pelo> kost_, you'll need to backup your data first if you have any you want to keep but yes, pretty much
[03:23] <kamon> (09:22:47 PM) ldz420: Question: what is the different between a system user and normal user? <-- normal user is you as a restricted user which means taht you cannot screw up your system by doing something wrong, in the other hand, the system user is the root which is also you but with total administrative priviledges
[03:24] <wastrel> Blacken:  is it using the "ati" or "radeon" driver in xorg.conf  try both and see if one works better
[03:24] <Pelo> kost_,  I suggest you do the boot thing before playing with your partiton, just in case you mess up
[03:24] <Dustycartel> ok guys.  I have been waiting my turn.  but I see that most just jump in as they get their questions typed.  so here goes.  I have an inspiron9400 with built in wireless.  last year when i tried to use ubuntu with my Thinkpad it didn't want to use the wireless.  has it gotten more wireless friendly in the last 15 or so months?
[03:24] <kamon> you do stuff as root using sudo before any command
[03:24] <fr0nk> uff
[03:24] <kost_> Pelo ok i am doing the boot thing right now.
[03:24] <fr0nk> visio sucks hard in planning rooms ;p
[03:24] <macaholic> Blacken: have you tried installing the driver from ati's sight?
[03:24] <macaholic> Blacken: site*******
[03:24] <fr0nk> *installing inkscape*
[03:25] <Paddy_EIRE> Dustycartel: info... whats the wifi chipset?
[03:25] <ldz420> kamon: thx for showing me the path
[03:25] <survivor> hi! i'm trying to install ubuntu. however, my dell always boots from HDD, even with the boot order set right, except if i unplug the HDD (so it CAN boot from CD!) - any ideas?
[03:25] <Blacken> survivor: Open the one-time boot menu?
[03:25] <survivor> one what?
[03:26] <Blacken> All remotely modern Dell machines have a one-time boot menu.
[03:26] <Blacken> Usually F12.
[03:26] <Blacken> Hit it, it'll ask you what to boot from.
[03:26] <Blacken> (Also, you may have a bad CD, it happens on occasion)
[03:26] <Pb2007> survivor:have you tried to press F12 ?
[03:26] <survivor> hmmm, it is not remotely modern, it's more like 500 MHz.
[03:26] <coma> Does anyones desktop cube effect not work after awile ?
[03:26] <nickrud> Blacken, radeon supports the 7000 according to my Xorg.0.log; if you still have res problems look around line 400 in that file for some clues
[03:26] <orbstra> Hey srry to be a bother, but can anyone point me in the write direction of the command to look up that will write the results of a command (in this case diff FILE1 FILE 2) to a text file
[03:26] <survivor> And as I said, it DOES boot off every CD I tried when I didn't connect the HDD.
[03:26] <Pelo> !enter | Blacken
[03:26] <Blacken> nickrud: Alright, thanks.
[03:26] <ubotu> Blacken: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[03:26] <survivor> But I'll try F12.
[03:26] <Paddy_EIRE> coma: ask in #ubuntu-effects
[03:27] <coma> alright
[03:27] <coma> thnx
[03:27] <bruenig> orbstra, diff file1 file2 > outputfile
[03:27] <orbstra> bruenig: thnx
[03:27] <Blacken> Pelo: Excellent way to dissuade people from helping when they use what is something of IRC commonplace "speech."
[03:27] <bruenig> orbstra, however if you are wanting to make a patch, it is probably best you use something like diff -u file1 file2 > outputfile
[03:27] <fr0nk> wastrel: COULD it be inkscape is orientated on corel DRAW 8? i LOVE it :D thank you very much :D :
[03:27] <fr0nk> :x
[03:27] <bruenig> I don't know if you are but that seems to be the usual reason people would do that
[03:27] <orbstra> bruenig: why -u.. what does that do?
[03:27] <Dustycartel> hey Eire it says 1390 wlan mini card
[03:28] <survivor> no F12 on my stone-age Dell
[03:28] <fr0nk> wastrel: most shortcuts are the same :D
[03:28] <Paddy_EIRE> Dustycartel: 1 sec...
[03:28] <bruenig> orbstra, it changes the output of the diff so that patch can use it, there is another flag that will also work but I don't know what it is
[03:28] <Dustycartel> thank you so much.
[03:28] <wastrel> fr0nk:  i guess so, i've never used corel draw.  inkscape is great though.  everyone should install it :] 
[03:28] <m0dY> what kernel image a Ubuntu domU should have ?
[03:29] <nickrud> m0dY, your question did not compute :)
[03:29] <Mr_Awesome> is there an applet that would tell me the battery power in my laptop battery?
[03:29] <fr0nk> wastrel: overall i still havent figured out how to change the paper format by 90degrees
[03:29] <fr0nk> wastrel: do you know how to? :D
[03:29] <Kitsun> Is it possible to merge Amarok data (song ratings, etc) from two Ubuntu installations?
[03:29] <m0dY> nickrud: how?
[03:29] <survivor> short of a one-time boot menu, any ideas on how to force a boot from cd?
[03:29] <Paddy_EIRE> Dustycartel: does it say that its a broadcom anywhere
[03:29] <nickrud> Mr_Awesome, you should have one in your systray in a standard install; what are you running
[03:29] <wastrel> fr0nk:  not off the top of my head.  #inkscape is very nice in my experience
[03:29] <nickrud> m0dY, domU ?
[03:29] <taglebro> how do i uninstall cvs?
[03:30] <m0dY> i am starting a domU so i want now which kernel image does Ubuntu provide as a Xen domU kernel
[03:30] <Pelo> Mr_Awesome,  there should be one in the pannel applets, jsut right click the pannel ,  select add to pannel and check the list
[03:30] <Dustycartel> the 10/100 is broadcom..
[03:30] <orbstra> bruenig:  would you know off the top of your head how to filter the results of diff.. so it only looks for lines that match a certain string (invalid logon attempts)
[03:30] <Dustycartel> one second I will find out
[03:30] <Paddy_EIRE> Dustycartel: as far as I can see that will work...although you may need to use ndiswrapper
[03:30] <Dustycartel> yes it is broadcom
[03:30] <Dustycartel> so what is involved in using that?  if it is easy enough to explain.
[03:30] <bruenig> orbstra, use diff file1 file2 | grep string
[03:30] <felipepro> hola
[03:30] <Paddy_EIRE> Dustycartel: then ndiswrapper will be the way to go
[03:31] <Dustycartel> ok thank you very much.
[03:31] <fr0nk> wastrel: thank you very much :)
[03:31] <orbstra> bruenig: I will try that now, THNX
[03:31] <taglebro> how do i uninstall cvs?
[03:31] <Paddy_EIRE> Dustycartel: ndiswrapper lets you use the windows driver
[03:31] <felipepro> quien habla espaol?
[03:31] <Dustycartel> oh I have read about that.
[03:31] <Pelo> !es | felipepro
[03:31] <ubotu> felipepro: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[03:31] <Dustycartel> ok I can do a search for further information
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> how do i set a drive to have user access, its a usb drive, only has root access righ now.. i know its a chmod isn't it?
[03:32] <Paddy_EIRE> Dustycartel: typically thinkpads work great with linux
[03:32] <Dustycartel> yes they do.
[03:32] <Pelo> Dustycartel, you can try this  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[03:32] <Dustycartel> never had a problem with red hat or freebsd
[03:32] <Dustycartel> and I thought ubuntu was easier to configure than either of those.
[03:33] <Paddy_EIRE> it is much easier to configure

[03:35] <Tarelerulz_man> So I ran ubuntu on my window/ubuntu main computer  with the same set up and it works
[03:35] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: it might.

[03:36] <hermit> I am a ubuntu newbie (but not a linux newbie) and am curious what you guys do about getting newer versions than come with the current release. Specifically, I need a newer version of rtorrent that supports encryption.
[03:36] <hermit> Is there some special repo i can access with newer debs?

[03:37] <Pelo> Tarelerulz_man, see if you can access the router through firefox
[03:37] <hermit> nickrud: I wouldn't mind compiling it and doing it manually, but I figured that it would likely not work because of all of the older libs going on here
[03:37] <bluebanana> Whatever variations I've tried for http and ftp URLs don't work.
[03:37] <Pelo> Tarelerulz_man,  I mean the router config
[03:38] <hermit> nickrud: where do I find these "proposed-updates" or "security" or "backports" you refer to
[03:38] <hermit> So I can see if rtorrent is there
[03:38] <Pelo> bluebanana,  for help wiith kde apps you mght hvae a better chance at getting an answer in #kubuntu

[03:41] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: got it, thank you, that was driving me crazy
[03:41] <Pelo> kost_,  no I can'T sorry,  but I so remember that the frist few menu entries did direct you to either windows or linux
[03:41] <nickrud> IndyGunFreak, and what's especially nice, ubuntu remembers the permissions for the device ;)
[03:41] <tacos_ub1ntu> why isn't wine showing up in my synaptic ??
[03:41] <kost_> Pelo yes thats right. Do i select Linux from there?
[03:42] <Ahadiel> tacos_ub1ntu, sudo apt-get install wine
[03:42] <Pelo> tacos_ub1ntu, you need to enable the extra repos, multiver ad backport
[03:42] <Ahadiel> nvm, do what Pelo said

[03:43] <orbstra> hey bruenig I tried what you said before (how to write a variable to a file).. It looks like this (below).. but I get the message that AuthLogDiffs command not found.. CODE: AuthLogDiffs > /home/socrates/scripts/failed_logon_notifier_files/auth_log_cache
[03:44] <flakzeus> Can anyone tell me how to password protect a zip file with file roller?
[03:44] <Pelo> Tarelerulz_man, try another cable  the one you have might be nicked
[03:44] <bruenig> orbstra, explain what you are wanting to do
[03:44] <hermit> nickrud: thanks. so the last 4 lines I assume would be the ones to grab?
[03:44] <Tarelerulz_man> The lame part is
[03:44] <Tarelerulz_man> I am trying to get out the router
[03:44] <Tarelerulz_man> with my windows computer
[03:44] <Tarelerulz_man> The one that can get internet
[03:45] <bruenig> flakzeus, just use zip -e from the command line, it will prompt you for a password
[03:45] <Tarelerulz_man> it just don't work
[03:45] <Pelo> Tarelerulz_man, ...
[03:45] <Pelo> Tarelerulz_man, in wndows you need the default gateway address just in case you are not useing the correct number
[03:46] <nickrud> hermit, those for sure; do a diff -u <yoursources> <mysources> to see the differences
[03:46] <flakzeus> bruenig, it says "zip error: Nothing to do"
[03:46] <Tarelerulz_man> it worked under ubuntu
[03:46] <atnan> Are there any Metacity gurus around? I'm after a way of listing all open windows (including their titles & which window is active) via a script.
[03:46] <bruenig> flakzeus, you have to provide it with an argument of what you are zipping
[03:46] <orbstra> well, bruenig , I basically want to make a Bash script to run regularly in Cron, that checks auth.log for any Invalid logon attempts.. So I made a blank text file, and the script that will go in crontab assigns a variable to the result of diff (it compares auth.log and the blank text file).. then it writes the results of diff to the text file.. eventually I will have it send me an email whenever it detects a change in the file.. I trie
[03:46] <bruenig> flakzeus, zip -e whateverfile
[03:46] <macaholic> tacos_ublntu go here for install instructions http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[03:46] <flakzeus> bruenig, will this work with an already zipped file
[03:46] <bruenig> flakzeus, I don't think so
[03:47] <flakzeus> bruenig, ok thanks
[03:47] <bruenig> orbstra, why not just grep auth.log and redirect the grep, diff needn't be in the picture at all I don't think
[03:47] <bruenig> orbstra, grep string auth.log > outputfile
[03:47] <Tarelerulz_man> I am in the router
[03:47] <Tarelerulz_man> pelo , I am in the righter what do I do now
[03:48] <Pelo> Tarelerulz_man, ;-)
[03:48] <orbstra> bruenig: I am using diff to detect the difference between the text file, so I can have it eventually send me an email whenever a difference comes up
[03:48] <Pelo> Tarelerulz_man, are you in the router from the ubuntu computer or from the windows one ?
[03:48] <bruenig> orbstra, but diff detects everyline as being different, that is no different than just doing "cat file | grep string" or just "grep string file"
[03:48] <Tarelerulz_man> From ubuntu the one that will not get net

[03:50] <nickrud> Ahadiel, liferea, blam, straw

[03:50] <Tarelerulz_man> Pelo , what do I do next
[03:50] <Pelo> Tarelerulz_man, honestly I donT' know what you do from there,  I was just checking for a problem from that point,   check the router model in the router and see if there is a suggestion in there,
[03:50] <bruenig> orbstra, it just spits out the file into stdout, try it "cat textfile"
[03:50] <nickrud> Optimus55, sudo mv ~/Desktop/folder /usr/share/icons
[03:50] <Ahadiel> JESTER, caps lock != cruise control
[03:50] <JESTER> Does anyone have a ati radeon 9250 working with ubuntu yet
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> JESTER: are you still having that problem?
[03:51] <JESTER> yep
[03:51] <kost_> Pelo ok. I got to a menu Called Fix Windows or Something and from there it asked me to select an operating system or something. I selected Windows XP and then it said Pause Nothing to DO.

[03:51] <JESTER> i have the catalyst control center
[03:52] <orbstra> bruenig: but that whole line of code. grep string... won't that just find ALL the matching lines of code from the log file, not compare it with what it has already seen..
[03:52] <Pelo> kost_, give me a minute I'll see if I can get you another link
[03:52] <JESTER> but gues what i can never get that far
[03:52] <kost_> Pelo Ok as much as you want. I just want to have it done. Thanks for giving me help.
[03:52] <Paddy_EIRE> JESTER: err, I dont use the catalyst control center nor do I have it
[03:52] <JESTER> if anyone has any help tips or tricks please help me! i have a ATI RADON 9250!! wont work
[03:52] <Ryan450> hey guys
[03:52] <JESTER> well i thought it would have drivers in it
[03:53] <bruenig> orbstra, grep will spit out any line that matches the string you give it, but it will do that even if you diff the file first with a blank file, because all you are doing is in a bizarre way passing the entire file through grep because every line is showing up in diff and therefore is being processed by grep just like if you were to use grep by itself
[03:53] <xike> xgl looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/2vp38y, any ideas
[03:53] <Pelo> kost_, http://www.novell.com/documentation/suse91/suselinux-adminguide/html/ch07s05.html
[03:53] <Paddy_EIRE> JESTER: you just use the restricted driver manages
[03:53] <nickrud> JESTER, the radeon driver that comes with ubuntu supports the 9250
[03:53] <JESTER> it says there is none
[03:53] <JESTER> well it wont work
[03:53] <kost_> Pelo I got that before as i was googleing. :|
[03:53] <JESTER> it gets to the load screen finishes goes black 10 sec later it restarts pc
[03:53] <JESTER> and goes back into a loop hole

[03:54] <peplin_> I have come here simply to say...I just dumped my ATI graphics card after fighting with it for years in linux, and the Nvidia drivers strike me as simply....beautiful!
[03:54] <JESTER> lol
[03:54] <JESTER> NVIDEa
[03:54] <orbstra> yes bruenig but after I find the difference, I write that to the blank file.. so it keeps a log of what it has seen
[03:54] <Ryan450> thats because ATI refuses to release any good drivers
[03:54] <JESTER> ATI is a good company or was till AMD took over
[03:54] <kost_> Pelo didnt try. Should i try the 7.5.2. Restoring the MBR of Windows XP?

[03:59] <ztomic> JESTER: new to linux?
[03:59] <JESTER> wow it wont install
[03:59] <JESTER> yeah
[03:59] <JESTER> if anyone has the fix for the ati radeon 9250 i would love to get it
[03:59] <wastrel> Fryguy--:  you might check /etc/iftab  and fix the MAC addy's in there for eth0 and eth1
[03:59] <B52doc> I have problem connecting to my network, I am using Wicd network manager
[03:59] <nickrud> Jeruvy, try this:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

[03:59] <JESTER> ok
[03:59] <JESTER> so whats wrong with my gcard then
[04:00] <ztomic> I just got here/
[04:00] <JESTER> its a good card it just not that great no more i guess
[04:00] <nickrud> JESTER, probably nothing, only a config problem
[04:00] <JESTER> well
[04:00] <JESTER> if it was only like windows u could get on remotely and fix it
[04:00] <JESTER> lol
[04:00] <nickrud> JESTER, there's always ssh. But, don't, anyway ;)
[04:00] <B52doc> it just says obtaining IP address and then doesnt do anything, no connection
[04:00] <ztomic> JESTER: does it work on the livecd?

[04:01] <JESTER> then it goes black
[04:01] <Fryguy--> wastrel: what's the easiest way to find the MAC addresses for my new ethernet interfaces? lspci isn't giving it in it's information

[04:02] <Tarelerulz_man> The connection will not work under windows or ubuntu  for my laptop
[04:02] <Tarelerulz_man> I hope something did not go out on it
[04:02] <JESTER> wow
[04:02] <JESTER> thats sounds like hardware
[04:02] <JESTER> or a bug
[04:02] <Fryguy--> wastrel: neither of the interfaces are listed under ifconfig. ifconfig is only listing the loopback interface.
[04:02] <wastrel> Fryguy--:  oic.
[04:02] <ztomic> ouch
[04:02] <JESTER> i know everything about windows
[04:02] <JESTER> lol

[04:03] <flodine> can someone tell me why my internet speed is slower on ubuntu then on fedora?
[04:03] <JESTER> umm

[04:03] <ztomic> JESTER: have you tried another vid card?
[04:03] <wastrel> hrm.
[04:03] <JESTER> nope

[04:05] <wastrel> caesar_:  ask in #ubuntu-effects
[04:05] <JESTER> so if my card can run vista
[04:05] <keeganX> Where would I go to discuss beta issues?
[04:05] <caesar_> thanks
[04:05] <JESTER> it should run ubuntu
[04:05] <wastrel> keeganX:  #ubuntu+1  for gutsy
[04:05] <nickrud> Tarelerulz_man, where 192.168.0.114 would be your router?
[04:05] <keeganX> thanks wastrel
[04:05] <JESTER> aero is u push the iwndows and tab key and it makes the windows float beside eachother
[04:05] <vas> bruenig any ideas
[04:05] <ztomic> JESTER: it sounded like you told me your computer is slow.
[04:06] <bruenig> vas, are you using diff against a blank text file or not, that is what I thought you were saying
[04:06] <JESTER> its prob all of it
[04:06] <JESTER> lol
[04:06] <wastrel> Tarelerulz_man:  you can see the router from your linux box?
[04:06] <JESTER> wait wtf
[04:06] <JESTER> how are u on here if ur internet dont work
[04:06] <macaholic> how do i enable seeing hidden files?
[04:06] <ztomic> JESTER: did you pastebin your config?
[04:06] <Tarelerulz_man> Wastrel , I can see the router from linux box
[04:06] <JESTER> there are no hidden files
[04:06] <JESTER> im still lookin for it
[04:07] <JESTER> since i can open add remove program
[04:07] <nickrud> macaholic, on the file explorer window, view->show hidden files
[04:07] <JESTER> Failed to check for installed and available applications
[04:07] <JESTER> This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.
[04:07] <ztomic> JESTER: slow down and dont use "enter" so much
[04:07] <macaholic> nickrud: thx
[04:07] <JESTER> uh oh
[04:07] <wastrel> Tarelerulz_man:   can you ping  64.233.187.99
[04:07] <JESTER> i alraedy crashed linux
[04:07] <JESTER> lol
[04:08] <JESTER> crap...
[04:08] <Tarelerulz_man> When I hook my windows computer in the same way it looked .  and under window or ubuntu on the laptop don't work
[04:08] <blazemonger> i guess no one's able to help
[04:08] <caesar_> does anyone know the repository for the latest ATI drivers (instead of the guaranteed-stable "restricted modules")?
[04:08] <JESTER> guess not
[04:08] <vas> bruenig, it is blank at first, but whenever diff is compared to it, I write the result of Diff to the file, so next time it runs, so diff will not just keep bringing up the same logs every time it is run.. it will only show the new logs (because the old ones are recorded in that text file), then after it finds a difference, it writes the difference to the text file.. get me?
[04:08] <JESTER> caesar
[04:08] <Tarelerulz_man> I mean the windows computer worked with the same set up
[04:08] <JESTER> do u have a ati radeon 9250
[04:08] <blazemonger> i have apentium 4 2.4ghz with 768mb of memory and a ati radeon 7200 card and xubuntu is extremely slow..in fact every distro is slow
[04:08] <caesar_> Jester: Radeon 9550
[04:08] <blazemonger> but my notebook which is ancient runs just fine
[04:09] <JESTER> damn
[04:09] <JESTER> mine wont work
[04:09] <bruenig> vas, oh so you are doing the diff and then dumping the diff into the blank text file which you then use again to diff against
[04:09] <shiester_miester> gday everyone
[04:09] <JESTER> oh crap
[04:09] <shiester_miester> hey bruenig!
[04:09] <Fryguy--> wastrel: i just scrolled through dmesg, and all seems to be well, no notable error messages reported about either of the ethernet interfaces, and the drivers for each seem to have been successfully loaded
[04:09] <JESTER> brb gotta but sheets on the bed
[04:09] <JESTER> lol
[04:09] <vas> bruenig YES!!!
[04:09] <shiester_miester> bruenig, long time no see
[04:09] <blazemonger> but my p4 motherboard is a d865perl sata and i have two ide drives on it and i can NOT get DMA to work :(
[04:09] <vas> bruenig EXACTLY!!!
[04:09] <blazemonger> i dont know what to do
[04:09] <EADG_> !enter JESTER
[04:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about enter jester - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:09] <nickrud> blazemonger, really slow loading programs, or really slow all the time
[04:09] <ztomic> JESTER: is on crack!
[04:10] <vas> bruenig so first I set the results of diff to a variable, then I write teh variable to that text file.. the problem is when I try to write a variable to a text file.. I keep getting that error
[04:10] <bruenig> vas, just paste your script
[04:10] <bruenig> !paste | vas
[04:10] <ubotu> vas: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:10] <wastrel> Fryguy--:  sorry, i'm out of ideas :/
[04:10] <Fryguy--> LOLOL i'm a moron :(
[04:10] <Fryguy--> i just checked the output of ifconfig -a :(
[04:10] <Fryguy--> and they are eth1 and eth2 :(
[04:11] <Fryguy--> and there is no eth0 on the system (because of iftab)
[04:11] <wastrel> ah jolly :] 
[04:11] <vas> bruenig http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34014/ ... I REALLY appreciate this!!
[04:11] <joshritger> what packages are needed to view windows shares?

[04:11] <Tru7h> Hello
[04:11] <caesar_> Tru7h Hello

[04:11] <ztomic> any gatos fans in here? I want to capture with ati 7200.
[04:12] <shiester_miester> but for some reason it just doesn't end up with a connection...
[04:12] <Tru7h> For some reason amaroK won't play anything.
[04:12] <bruenig> vas, why not just this diff /home/socrates/testogo /var/log/auth.log | grep 'Invalid' >/home/socrates/scripts/failed_logon_notifier_files/auth_log_cache
[04:12] <wastrel> Tarelerulz_man:  if you run the command    route    on the command line,  is there a value in the "gateway" column on the line that starts with "default"
[04:13] <JESTER> im on crack
[04:13] <JESTER> really.. or naturally high
[04:13] <Tru7h> When you play something is flashes through the playlist then says playlist finished

[04:14] <wastrel> Tru7h:  you might need to install mp3 support
[04:14] <Tru7h> Do I need codecs or something?
[04:14] <Tru7h> Okay, how do I do that?
[04:14] <nickrud> blazemonger, then I had something else in mind, sorry
[04:14] <blazemonger> but it will run just perfect from the live cd butg i cant save anything :(
[04:14] <JESTER> yo ztomic msn or aim or yahoo me
[04:14] <JESTER> msn mhowell34@hotmail.com
[04:14] <wastrel> vas:  if you want just one line of output you can do grep -c
[04:14] <blazemonger> i'm having bad luck migrating from amiga's to PCs
[04:14] <JESTER> aim is same withthout the msn shit
[04:14] <shiester_miester> vas, bruenig left

[04:14] <vas> shiester_miester lol im talkin to no one
[04:14] <bruenig> had to restart x to get into my nvidia tinkering
[04:15] <Geek_> blazemonger: amigas... that might explain a bit ;)

[04:15] <JESTER> IF ANYONE FIGURES OUT THE ATI RADEON 9250 Problem, MSN OR AIM me Mhowell34@hotmail.com aim is same without hotmail
[04:15] <shiester_miester> wb, bruenig

[04:15] <vas> but
[04:15] <vas> bruenig I would like to have it in a variable, because in the future I want to expand this script so it sends e-mails and other stuff... So I am trying to break it up now so I don't run into these problems in the future
[04:15] <meoblast001> hello i'm trying to add a software source but after i type the source into the repo section of Synaptic, it doesn't appear..... why wouldn't it appear?
[04:15] <Tru7h> wasterl: How do I install MP3 support?
[04:15] <witless> my audio always locks up.  strace shows this:
[04:15] <blazemonger> geek: i am a 12+ year long amiga user and i just 4 months ago got into pc world
[04:15] <witless> semctl(1343488, 0, IPC_64|IPC_SET, 0xbfb2f8e8) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
[04:15] <JESTER> im gonna try to fix this
[04:15] <vas> BTW if anyone is following this convo feel free to toss in some input
[04:15] <wastrel> !mp3 | Tru7h

[04:15] <JESTER> i dont feel like using a damn windows cd just to format
[04:15] <blazemonger> what can i do for a low cost system that i dont have to sign my name that will do midi sequencing
[04:15] <winblows> where can i configure how fast the compiz cube moves?
[04:15] <shiester_miester> JESTER, can't you use the livecd and gparted?
[04:15] <blazemonger> that's all i want is something that will sequence midi
[04:16] <witless> is there a more technically-oriented support channel for ubuntu aside from this one?
[04:16] <blazemonger> on a low budget
[04:16] <Tarelerulz_man> when I do ipconfig on windows I get  ip that starts with 67  and the ip I get when I do ifconfig on  ubuntu is 192
[04:16] <Superkuh> Anyone know how I could check if hardware tcp checksum offloading is enabled on my (mobo integrated) NIC under ubuntu (feisty) (or if a more general answer exists for debian-like, or even general linux systems)?
[04:16] <ztomic> JESTER: I'[m not convinced that the ATI card is your problem.
[04:16] <shiester_miester> winblows, in compiz cube settings
[04:16] <JESTER> whats the gparted
[04:16] <wastrel> vas:  VAR=$(grep -c "whatever value" filename)
[04:16] <JESTER> i think it is
[04:16] <shiester_miester> JESTER, gnome partition editor
[04:16] <bruenig> vas, the variable is going to be dirty because of the multiple lines and whatnot, but if  you want to get the variable's output into a textfile after you have stored it, just echo "$variable" > outputfile
[04:16] <shiester_miester> winblows, although it depends what sort of cube movement you are talking about
[04:16] <winblows> shiester_miester: where is that?
[04:16] <JESTER> i just overote my windows installation
[04:16] <JESTER> lol
[04:16] <ztomic> kewl!
[04:16] <winblows> shiester_miester: i'm just talking about how fast it spins
[04:16] <witless> is there a more technically-oriented support channel for ubuntu aside from this one?
[04:16] <shiester_miester> winblows, open up the compiz settings application
[04:16] <JESTER> fully redid all 80gb
[04:16] <nephish> way to go JESTER  !
[04:16] <nickrud> JESTER, you backed into a good situation
[04:16] <ztomic> kewler!
[04:16] <JESTER> what
[04:16] <JESTER> lol
[04:17] <JESTER> ive got like 19 xp cd;s laying around
[04:17] <shiester_miester> winblows, there are multiple ways to spin the cube, so it depends which one you are talking about.  do you mean when you drag a window around the edges? or when you spin it by grabbing with the mouse?
[04:17] <shiester_miester> JESTER, not a very smart move...
[04:17] <JESTER> omfg
[04:17] <ztomic> JESTER: send them to the microwave.
[04:17] <JESTER> do u understand
[04:17] <wastrel> witless:  not afaik
[04:17] <winblows> shiester_miester: i'm spinning with my keyboard
[04:17] <JESTER> my dad works for a computer place
[04:17] <JESTER> every day he gets out of his truck like a xp cd or something else falls out
[04:17] <shiester_miester> winblows, so with ctrl+alt+left/right, or something like that
[04:17] <qiyong> How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
[04:18] <winblows> shiester_miester: that's correct
[04:18] <ztomic> JESTER: now I understand why you sound like youre on crack
[04:18] <JESTER> fuck you

[04:21] <metalek> hi
[04:21] <shiester_miester> i said the IRC network is LIKE a facist dictatorship, referring to how people can be punished by the higher-ups if they don't behave according to the rules
[04:21] <wastrel> trwww:  there's a bunch of info in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[04:21] <blazemonger> mso what do i do tgo make my p4 2.4 ghz load firefox in less than 5 minutes
[04:21] <qiyong> hexidigital, i think it's two.  one holds the base, one turns the bulb.
[04:21] <blazemonger> it has 768 mb of memory
[04:21] <tonyyarusso> bruenig: kind of - it's remarkably relevant from time to time (and I'd link it here if it was written by someone else too :P )
[04:21] <blazemonger> i just do N OT know WHAT to do
[04:21] <shiester_miester> winblows, its in the main menu
[04:21] <blazemonger> iui am having PC woes coming from amiga
[04:22] <fsckr> where do i go to turn off these icons on ubuntu...i thought it was in gconf-editor but I dont seem to find it
[04:22] <fsckr> icons on the desktop that is
[04:22] <xtknight> !icons | fsckr
[04:22] <ubotu> fsckr: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)

[04:23] <metalek> hi everybody, i have a little problem, when I add new session to /etc/X11/sessions/ then i try to choose it, but i can't because it's no appear? somebody could help me?
[04:23] <winblows> shiester_miester: what's it called?
[04:23] <faileas> shiester_miester: its more like a restaurant. if you get drunk, and make a fuss, the waiter's gonna throw ya out ;)
[04:23] <shiester_miester> winblows, something like compiz settings
[04:23] <blazemonger> if i can only enable DMA mode on my hardware
[04:23] <witless> any audio program i use locks up
[04:23] <blazemonger> i would be going good
[04:23] <blazemonger> :(
[04:23] <shiester_miester> winblows, I'm not in ubuntu at the moment so I can't tell you for sure, but its certainly not something subtle and obscure
[04:23] <winblows> shiester_miester: i don't have anything with compiz on it
[04:24] <blazemonger> man i'm hating Pc's every single day more and more to the point that i'm tempted to go back to Amiga world
[04:24] <shiester_miester> winblows, maybe you should ask in #opencompositing...they made compiz
[04:24] <mannytu> ubotu: gconf-editor is cool!!!
[04:24] <faileas> blazemonger: go ahead
[04:24] <metalek> hi
[04:24] <Tarelerulz_man> I really am lost
[04:24] <shiester_miester> would anyone be able to help me out with my problem?  Ubuntu can't connect to the Internet, although it was working fine yesterday.
[04:25] <shiester_miester> and its worked fine for quite a while
[04:25] <wastrel> winblows:  system > preferences > desktop effects   i believe.   #ubuntu-effects  is probably a better place for this question
[04:25] <shiester_miester> wastrel, desktop effects is not what he is talking about
[04:25] <wastrel> i thought he wanted to spin the cube faster
[04:25] <shiester_miester> desktop effects, i believe, is based on an older version of compiz or something
[04:25] <wastrel> well regardless, ubuntu-effects are the subject matter experts
[04:26] <nomic> anyone help please - I get Unable to open document Unhandled MIME type upon trying to open an acrobat (pdf) file using firefox
[04:26] <blazemonger> quesiont: will building a custom kernel help my speed issues?
[04:26] <nomic> unhandled MIME type
[04:26] <metalek> somebody could help me? i can't add new session to gdm(im using the developing version)
[04:26] <shiester_miester> nomic, do you have a pdf reader for firefox?
[04:26] <nomic> its the plugin shiester
[04:26] <shiester_miester> yes
[04:26] <Tarelerulz_man> windows get internet and so does the ubuntu on windows computer ,but my latop ubuntu/windows don't.  they the same setup  cord and all and ports on the router still not net for laptp. They bother have diffent ip ubuntu start 192 and windows stats with 67
[04:26] <faileas> hmm
[04:27] <blazemonger> what can i do to get my pentium 4 desktop running likie it should
[04:27] <blazemonger> my drive speed is what's causing it
[04:27] <blazemonger> not the memory
[04:27] <shiester_miester> blazemonger, get a faster drive?
[04:27] <wastrel> Tarelerulz_man:  they both connect to the same router?  both dhcp?
[04:27] <faileas> is there a good command line torrent client?
[04:27] <blazemonger> shiester: i havge a maxtor
[04:27] <blazemonger> butg i cant enable the DMA MODE
[04:27] <Frogzoo_> blazemonger: is dma enabled ?
[04:27] <blazemonger> it wont let me enable dma
[04:27] <wastrel> shiester_miester:  how are you connecting to the net with your ubunto
[04:27] <blazemonger> it gives me a ERROR
[04:27] <Frogzoo_> blazemonger: which device is it?
[04:27] <blazemonger> /dev/sda /dev/sda1
[04:28] <shiester_miester> wastrel, cat5 cable plugged into my adsl modem/router box
[04:28] <Tarelerulz_man> dhcp on the LInux for sure and I don't know how to check that on windows
[04:28] <blazemonger> but its IDE drives
[04:28] <blazemonger> where can i find a computer like at least a p3 no brand name for less than $200
[04:28] <wastrel> shiester_miester:  you don't need pppoe or something?
[04:28] <Tarelerulz_man> They both have the same router
[04:28] <shiester_miester> wastrel, thats for usb connections or something isnt it?
[04:29] <Tarelerulz_man> I  use the same cord for both and the windows computer get net with the same cord and ubuntu one don't
[04:29] <wastrel> not necessarily
[04:29] <niter3> Hey guys.. It seems I'm having problems with the newest mythtv. How can I downgrade to the previous version??
[04:29] <shiester_miester> wastrel, in any case, it was working fine for quite a while and then it just degraded quickly and now it won't work at all
[04:29] <Tarelerulz_man> I can get into the router's web config page
[04:29] <blazemonger> i neded if only i can enable DMA mode
[04:29] <blazemonger> i will be fine
[04:30] <shiester_miester> wastrel, for the past week or so its been connecting rather unpredictably, sometimes when I boot ubuntu it will connect, other times not.  but if i restarted a few times, it usually worked.  now it doesn't work, ever
[04:30] <wastrel> Tarelerulz_man:  that's good. the next problem is making sure the router is NATing you out to the world  also making sure your default gateway and dns are set up on linux side
[04:30] <Frogzoo_> blazemonger: the driver I think takes care of setting dma, you don't need to bother - try 'sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda' what do you get?
[04:30] <shiester_miester> which seems really odd to me
[04:30] <blazemonger> it gives me a error
[04:30] <wastrel> shiester_miester:  restarting dhclient and whatnot no help?
[04:30] <blazemonger> i ve tried that repeatedly
[04:30] <blazemonger> just HOW
[04:30] <blazemonger> do i *force* it
[04:30] <blazemonger> there IS a way
[04:31] <blazemonger> my friend thyat is a PC GURU says i should havfe NO problems but im hyaving so many problems with my desktop its not even funny
[04:31] <shiester_miester> wastrel, dhclient?  i haven't used that, although i did do quite a bit of "sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop/start/restart" and "ifconfig eth0/1 up/down"
[04:31] <nomic> ok fixed it thanks shiester
[04:31] <blazemonger> do i need to build a new kernel or what do i do? or do i just need to buy a dell
[04:32] <tamu> halo
[04:32] <blazemonger> since im new to Pc's
[04:32] <wastrel> shiester_miester:  don't do ifconfig up/down  use  ifup and ifdown  they will run the dhcp client for you
[04:32] <fsckr> what applet is at the top right that is the systray?  whats it called in ubuntu?  I want to delete the top bar and put the systray in my bottom bar
[04:32] <wastrel> (don't mix & match ifconfig up/down and ifup/down either, confusion will result )
[04:32] <Devo> Is Amarok a good replacement for Winamp?
[04:32] <shiester_miester> Devo, good enough for me
[04:32] <blazemonger> what do i do then?
[04:33] <Devo> Is it 168 MB?
[04:33] <blazemonger> intel has drivers for my mobo but theyre all for windows not linux
[04:33] <shiester_miester> wastrel, also, whenever I try to ping anything (except the looback addr), i get "sendmsg: operation not permitted" or "send_packet: operation not permitted"
[04:33] <shiester_miester> blazemonger, ah dont you hate that
[04:33] <faileas> fsckr: i just unlocked both bars, deleted the bottom one, moved the top one to the bottom, then added stuff
[04:33] <faileas> looks just like windows
[04:34] <Devo> Will sudo apt-get install amarok work?
[04:34] <mannytu> ?
[04:34] <blazemonger> shiester: im used to amigas
[04:34] <shiester_miester> blazemonger, unfortunately thats just something we all have to tolerate until developers decide that linux is worth their time
[04:34] <blazemonger> my good ole amiga 4000 which i had for 10 years got struick by lightening
[04:34] <stdin> Devo: sure
[04:34] <Tarelerulz_man> filter inenet nat redirection is disabled
[04:34] <niter3> Hey guys.. It seems I'm having problems with the newest mythtv. How can I downgrade to the previous version??
[04:34] <blazemonger> man ubut ivfe read webpage after webpage and im getting sick of PC's
[04:34] <fsckr> faileas, would do that as well but already have the bottom bar setup :)
[04:34] <shiester_miester> wastrel, any other ideas?
[04:34] <Devo> stdin: It says it will unpack 168 MB. Is that normal for Amarok?
[04:34] <blazemonger> why cant hardware companies release a SIMPLE architecture like the Amigas or the ATari ST
[04:34] <shiester_miester> Devo, have you tried using rhythmbox?
[04:34] <fsckr> i just now wanted to put the "systray" down but dont know what its called to add it
[04:34] <faileas> fsckr: or use the "add applet" function?
[04:34] <flush> arrghh
[04:35] <faileas> ahhh
[04:35] <stdin> Devo: that's for amarok and all amaroks dependencies
[04:35] <Devo> shiester_miester: Nope.
[04:35] <shiester_miester> Devo, rhythmbox is more streamlined
[04:35] <flush> how do i figure out how to get 85hz
[04:35] <faileas> i don't have a linux system on now to check
[04:35] <wastrel> shiester_miester:  send_packet: operation not permitted  seems to be a dhcp problem
[04:35] <blazemonger> are they scared that the 680x0 processors are so easy to master the architecture that someone will devgelop fast OS's on slow computers
[04:35] <shiester_miester> Devo, since it comes with ubuntu, maybe you should give it a try
[04:35] <blazemonger> so what do i do man?
[04:35] <Devo> shiester_miester: Thank you.
[04:35] <blazemonger> ijm brfoke after spending mohey on things i thought were good an d i don tknow any geeks in real life
[04:35] <shiester_miester> wastrel, thats what I thought, although when I do the networking restart command, it sends a DHCPREQUEST and gets a reply from the modem
[04:36] <shiester_miester> wastrel, but for some reason it doesn't end up with an IP
[04:36] <kost_> Hello guys. Do you have in mind the best partition manager for windows. (even if i have to pay)
[04:36] <wastrel> ... hrm ...
[04:36] <shiester_miester> its strange because the OS and the modem can see each other and communicate...when I plug/unplug the cable it says "you are now connected to the wireless network" and "you are disconnected from the wireless network" etc
[04:36] <kost_> !partition
[04:36] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[04:37] <shiester_miester> kost_, those are for linux
[04:37] <niter3> Hey guys.. It seems I'm having problems with the newest mythtv. How can I downgrade to the previous version??
[04:37] <shiester_miester> kost_ i use partition magic for windows
[04:37] <wastrel> shiester_miester:  i'm getting out of my depth, if your dhclient is running with the /etc/init.d/networking restart (which i haven't used looked at before) then ifup/ifdown probably won't help...
[04:37] <stdin> kost_: partition magic is a good 3rd party partition tool too
[04:37] <ectospasm> is there any way to get the [ OK ]  for init scripts to print in color like Red Hat (et. al.), and Gentoo do it?
[04:37] <ThatGuy> Hello
[04:37] <shiester_miester> wastrel, but I'm not sure if its running or not...if its sending dhcp pacets and receiving some too, does that mean its working?
[04:38] <wastrel> that would seem to indicate that the dhcp client is fishing for an address
[04:38] <ThatGuy> I need some help with Ubuntu. I'm looking for Screen capturing programs. not pictures, but video
[04:38] <wastrel> !screencast | ThatGuy
[04:38] <ubotu> ThatGuy: Some programs to capture your screen are Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder.  Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts.
[04:38] <MTecknology> why isn't fail2ban working? I configured it the way it seemed right to, but it doesn't seem to be doing what it's supposed to
[04:38] <ThatGuy> thanks guys!
[04:38] <Tarelerulz_man>  wastrel, nat is enable on the router
[04:39] <mneptok> ThatGuy: sudo apt-get install recordmydesktop gtk-recordmydesktop
[04:39] <mneptok> wakka wakka wakka
[04:39] <wastrel> mneptok:  fix the factoid then :] 
[04:40] <wastrel> Tarelerulz_man:  what about if you run on the command line    route    do you see a line that starts with "default"  ?  what does it say in the "gateway" column for that line
[04:41] <Tarelerulz_man>  <wastrel> , the router command is not found
[04:41] <wastrel> shiester_miester:  route
[04:41] <wastrel> er, Tarelerulz_man   route
[04:41] <wastrel> not router
[04:41] <wastrel> Tarelerulz_man:  sorry    /sbin/route

[04:42] <Zasch> Hello
[04:42] <zerokill88> hi
[04:42] <Zasch> I have an iPod and I'd like to put some songs on it. What program can I use to do this?
[04:43] <DWSR> Rythymbox.
[04:43] <Tarelerulz_man>  <wastrel> , my gateways is 192.168.1.1
[04:43] <Tarelerulz_man> The default gateway sthat is
[04:43] <zerokill88> zasch one sec
[04:43] <ectospasm> Zasch:  you can use gtkpod, too
[04:43] <zerokill88> zasch try gnomad2
[04:43] <Zasch> So many suggestions! What are the merits of each?
[04:44] <hexidigital> Zasch:  amarok works to, iirc
[04:44] <ipis> how do i reformat my flash drive on ubuntu?
[04:44] <B52doc> my wireless network connection is running slow as molasses in winter, anyone have any tips or tricks ?
[04:44] <shiester_miester> Zasch, is the ipod activated?
[04:44] <zerokill88> zasch gnomad2 is pretty basic, just copy and paste over to ipod, but im almost 100% sure it will see your ipod, i had an issue where i couldt detect my mp3 player
[04:44] <Tarelerulz_man>  <wastrel> my default gateways is 192.168.1.1
[04:45] <faileas> ok, VERY wierd question but is there a good command line torrent client?
[04:45] <shiester_miester> Zasch, there is a huge plethora of programs you can use to rebuild the db on the ipod
[04:45] <Zasch> Yes, when I plug it in some program pops up, but it didn't play any of my music
[04:45] <wastrel> Tarelerulz_man:  ok and you say you can't ping 64.233.167.99
[04:45] <niter3> How can I check info on an installed package?
[04:45] <Tarelerulz_man>  <wastrel> I can't ping that ip
[04:45] <wastrel> Tarelerulz_man:  it looks like your linux should work, unless it's being blocked on the router
[04:45] <vas> hey bruenig I am using that script u sent me through pastebin.. the first time it does what it is supposed to.. it writes the difference of the two files.. but then when I run it again it just keeps on adding the same difference onto it
[04:46] <wastrel> but i'm still confused as to why your windows and your linux have ip addresses from different networks
[04:46] <vas> bruenig I added a couple opperands to ignore whitespaces and stuff when comparing the two files.. but no luck.. any ideas

[04:53] <Notsquee> It's happened randomly other times, too
[04:53] <Arafangion> Notsquee: Are you sure you're turning it off properly, not entering standby or hibernation?

[04:53] <Notsquee> Yes, I'm fully shutting donw, even unplugged the comp

[04:53] <wastrel> grep invalid file1 > results; > file1
[04:53] <Arafangion> wastrel: If you use '>>', then it appends to the file.

[04:54] <niter3> ?
[04:54] <tacos_ub1ntu> thanks
[04:55] <Arafangion> tacos_ub1ntu: It's useful if you have only 10 windows. :)
[04:55] <lashmoove> pelo: no not that at all, it won't install, it says its curropt, but it started, and messed up apt
[04:55] <Pelo> niter3, go in synaptic find the package  check in the properties,  the previous versions should be listed

It's connected to a gigabit switch, and the only other machine on the switch is my desktop (also gigabit obviously). anything I need to do in linux to tell the device to run at gigabit speed instead of megabit?
[05:00] <pdurph> i'm trying to follow http://women.debian.org/wiki/English/PackagingTutorial
[05:00] <wastrel> sec
[05:00] <Arafangion> Fryguy: Your HDD is the bottleneck.
[05:00] <jason__> what good mp3 ripper is there for ubuntu
[05:00] <AgentOrannnge> Hey guys I have a question here
[05:01] <pdurph> stdin: where $DESTDIR is ./debian/build ?
[05:01] <DShepherd> AgentOrannnge, you do?
[05:01] <Fryguy> Arafangion: it's a raid5 array with read tests exceeding 70 MB/s, yet i'm only transferring at 3-4 MB/s
[05:01] <AgentOrannnge> This is my first time messing with ubuntu or linux of that sort
[05:01] <Pelo> AgentOrannnge, are you gonna be selfish and keep it to yourself ?
[05:01] <Arafangion> Fryguy: And even if the entire file was in memory, then you'd be limited by the bus.
[05:01] <Devo> stdin: This is what I get when I try to execute the executable that is made in the console, "bash: a.out: command not found".
[05:01] <AgentOrannnge> no im getting to it haha sorry
[05:01] <Arafangion> Fryguy: What about the hdd speed of the recieving machine?
[05:01] <bobgill> How do I add a file to a .tar? I have stuff.tar.gz, and I want to add say /folder/file.txt to it, what's the cmd line ?
[05:01] <Fryguy> Arafangion: the only thing on the bus pci-e, i doubt i'm limited there
[05:01] <stdin> pdurph: no, set it to install to that variable, debuild will then set it
[05:01] <Fryguy> Arafangion: tested at much higher than 3-4 MB/s
[05:01] <AgentOrannnge> Will a swap partition make the Live CD go faster?
[05:01] <Notsquee> pelo, I did the recovery mode thing, still having the rror
[05:01] <Notsquee> error
[05:02] <ectospasm> AgentOrannnge:  no
[05:02] <Pelo> AgentOrannnge,  no
[05:02] <lufis> AgentOrannnge: it will help if you're low on ram
[05:02] <stdin> Devo: "chmod +x a.out" first, then ./a.out
[05:02] <AgentOrannnge> So its always painfully slow?
[05:02] <lufis> AgentOrannnge: but not faster, hd's are slow
[05:02] <ectospasm> AgentOrannnge:  but a swap partition is MUCH slower than available RAM
[05:02] <AgentOrannnge> I have 256 RAM
[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> I accidentally moved an application just off the screen to the top.  I cant reach the top bar to move it down.  WHat are the keystrokes to maximixe it or manually move it down?
[05:02] <vic1ous> hey how can i make my mic work i'm using a audigy 2
[05:02] <jason__> ?
[05:02] <Arafangion> Fryguy: Sounds like a time for benchmarking and isolating the bottleneck.
[05:02] <Pelo> Notsquee, I think your nvidia driver got borked, I don'T know why , and I unfortunately have no solution for you,  clean install
[05:02] <wastrel> vas:  diff file  | grep keyword file | grep keyword > file     is what you're doing.  it's pretty broken because.  1.  diff needs 2 file args.  2. grep either gets data from a pipe (cat foo.txt | grep keyword)  or from a file (grep keyword foo.txt)  not both  (cat foo.txt | grep keyword foo.txt ) which is what you have
[05:02] <jason__> ?
[05:03] <jason__> what good mp3 ripper is there for ubuntu
[05:03] <lufis> Jack_Sparrow: hold down alt and drag the window down
[05:03] <ectospasm> AgentOrannnge:  basically you're turning tertiary memory (hd) into secondary memory (ram), which tertiary is always orders of magnitude slower
[05:03] <Fryguy> Arafangion: as you can see I've already done a fair amount of benchmarking. Do you have any other specific benchmarks that you think would be worthwhile to run?
[05:03] <bobgill> jason__: Sound-Juicer does the job
[05:03] <Pelo> Notsquee, do you access your ext3 partiton from windows ? it might have borked your data that might explain it
[05:03] <stdin> !rip | jason__
[05:03] <CoasterMaster> !mythTV
[05:03] <ubotu> jason__: For information about the Sound Juicer ripping application see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping. To rip an Audio CD in KDE, put it in and then put audiocd:// in the Konqueror URL bar
[05:03] <ubotu> MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
[05:03] <Notsquee> Well, it's two harddrives, Pelo
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Lufis.. thanks... you are a lifesaver...
[05:03] <Arafangion> Fryguy: UDP speeds, transfer and recieve?
[05:03] <lufis> Jack_Sparrow: :)
[05:03] <Pelo> Notsquee, I realy don't know
[05:03] <Notsquee> I have to go now though
[05:04] <Arafangion> Fryguy: To ensure that it's not a TCP characteristic that's stumping you.
[05:04] <Pelo> c3_cute, please talk to me in the channel I do not allow private msg
[05:04] <vic1ous> anyone know how to make the mic work
[05:04] <AgentOrannnge> Should I just wait it out then. I can't even get the installer open hah.
[05:04] <jason__> Sound Juicer is doing it to slow
[05:04] <Pelo> vic1ous, in the terminal , alsamixer , select capture and adjust the settings
[05:04] <Fryguy> Arafangion: what's a good way to test udp transfer speeds? I'm at a loss for a suitable protocol that uses udp
[05:04] <vic1ous> thank you
[05:05] <vas> ooh I think I understand wastrel.. lemme try that out real quick...
[05:05] <Arafangion> Fryguy: Hmm, last I tested, I wrote my own test software.
[05:05] <Pelo> AgentOrannnge,  what videocard do you have on your computer ?
[05:05] <Arafangion> Fryguy: Try netcat?
[05:05] <AgentOrannnge> Its an 128MB ATI
[05:05] <AgentOrannnge> Im not exactly sure. Its a farily new Toshiba Laptop
[05:05] <Arafangion> Fryguy: I think netcat supports both tcp and udp.
[05:06] <johnjohn> hi room
[05:06] <Pelo> AgentOrannnge,  you wonT be able to use the live cd ,   ati and nvidia donT' make FOSS drivers so they are not part of the live cd , you will need to use the alternate install cd to instal, it is text based
[05:06] <laskar> ce_sendirian
[05:06] <Moniker42> hey, i have a problem with VLC, when i play a MKV file i get "could not demultiplex stream"
[05:06] <Pelo> AgentOrannnge, you'll be able to install proper drivers afterwards
[05:06] <AgentOrannnge> Pelo, How do I access that? Do I need a new CD or is it on the Live one.
[05:06] <vas> wait wastrel should I have parentheses around grep keyword foo.txt .... so it would be like: diff (grep  'invalid' foo.txt) (grep 'invalid' foo2.txt) > file ...
[05:07] <bluebanana> using nVu / kompoZer, is there a way to keep my simple left-sided menu and the heading on top to repeat on all of my 9 webpages for my small and personal website?
[05:07] <stdin> Moniker42: try installing mkvtoolnix
[05:07] <Pelo> AgentOrannnge,  if you dled the dvd it is on it, otherwise you need to get a new cd from the site
[05:07] <Arafangion> AgentOrannnge: "Alternate CD" usually a different cd image.
[05:07] <ribando> hi everyone. I got a  small question...I'm using gutsy...I've sucessfuly created an XGL session, but when I run compiz --replace I get something saying nvidia :not present.can someone help?
[05:07] <Arafangion> AgentOrannnge: ie, "alternate".
[05:07] <Puppy_> can someone help me eject a cd?
[05:07] <adrian86> haiiiiiiiiiii
[05:07] <Pelo> ribando, for gutsy infor ask in #ubuntu+1   , you have been told before
[05:07] <joebob777as7> hey i have a backup cron to make a tarfile with the name of file as backupYY-MMDD I was wondering if I could also have a cron job to delete them after 3 months?
[05:07] <AgentOrannnge> I have 56k so I can't really download anything haha.
[05:07] <wastrel> vas:  you're making it way too complicated.  does this need to be a one-liner or is it a script?
[05:08] <adrian86> haiiiiiiiii
[05:08] <Pelo> Puppy_,  make sure all the aps that use the cd are closed
[05:08] <Moniker42> stdin, the same error...
[05:08] <AgentOrannnge> I guess I will wait a month for the alternate CD then?
[05:08] <vas> wastrel I was told I would have to have that one line setup
[05:08] <Moniker42> stdin, although it was slightly different this time
[05:08] <SNIPER> Hi!
[05:08] <Puppy_> Pelo: I don't have an app on the cd, it has data.
[05:08] <Pelo> AgentOrannnge,  ask a freind with a hispeed connection to get it for you
[05:08] <DShepherd> bobgill, http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/tar_53.html -- check out that page
[05:08] <stdin> Moniker42: did you restart vlc after ?
[05:08] <vas> at first I set the the result of diff to a variable then I put the variable into an external file
[05:08] <vas> wastrel **
[05:08] <AgentOrannnge> Okay thank you Pelo
[05:08] <Moniker42> stdin, first, it was showing 2-3 seconds at the start of the video file and then freezing and giving the error
[05:08] <Arafangion> AgentOrannnge: Pay for it, even, calculate it to be worth a bit less than how much it'd cost you to download.
[05:08] <Moniker42> stdin, now it's just showing the error..
[05:08] <Pelo> Puppy_,  I mean the apps that are using the data on the cd
[05:09] <Moniker42> stdin, i did close and reopen it - do i need to kill it in the terminal?
[05:09] <stdin> Moniker42: no
[05:09] <bobgill> DShepherd: thanks !
[05:09] <jason__> i'm using grip to rip and it's ripping at .4x
[05:09] <stdin> Moniker42: you may need the w32codecs too, not sure
[05:09] <Puppy_> Pelo like my file browser? I had the icon for the cd on my desktop, I hit the eject button, and the icon went a way. but the cd won't eject.
[05:10] <ribando> Pelo the question wasnt really about gutsy, it was about a doubt on XGL.
[05:10] <Moniker42> stdin, i have them already
[05:10] <Pelo> Puppy_, very odd, and you are not getting an error msg ?
[05:10] <ribando> Pelo but hey...thanks anywayz
[05:10] <joebob777as7> DShepherd, is it pretty good to append? how does it work with files of the same name that are modified every day ie a db file?
[05:10] <Puppy_> Pelo: no. I restarted the computer, and that did not help.
[05:10] <Zasch> Hello again. I'm trying to use Rhythmbox to manage my iPod: I tried to add about 8 songs, but instead of adding those 8, it added 1 song 8 times, and it doesn't seem to want to add any more. What's going on, and how do I fix it?

[05:11] <Arafangion> joebob777as7: Learn how to use your db /properly/, ie, get it to do the log for you.
[05:11] <stdin> Moniker42: not sure then, I don't think I've ever played one. try searching synaptic for "mkv"
[05:11] <DShepherd> joebob777as7, http://www.apl.jhu.edu/Misc/Unix-info/tar/tar_29.html -- care to give this a read
[05:11] <wastrel> vas:  your approch will also break when /var/log/auth.log rotates.
[05:11] <Moniker42> stdin, k thanks anyway
[05:11] <Pelo> Puppy_, consider the possibility that your cd drive might be damaged,
[05:11] <B52doc> Moniker42: can i haz cheezburger
[05:11] <vas> wastrel that is my next step.. I first want to get he base of my app down then I will adjust it to when it rotates
[05:11] <DARKGuy> lmao
[05:11] <joebob777as7> Arafangion, it is just a access db file i made for our company...
[05:11] <Moniker42> B52doc, perhaps if you ask for it in English?
[05:11] <Puppy_> Pelo: I am confused. and I don't think it is damaged, but who know.
[05:12] <vas> wastrel worst comes to worst I change it manually once or twice before I fix it so it does it automatically
[05:12] <B52doc> I finally got my wireless network card working but the connection is dial up slow
[05:12] <Zasch> Is there an easier way to do this? The GUI seems to be unresponsive to this: I try to drag it to the little iPod icon in Rhythmbox, but nothing happens
[05:12] <pgar23> i have problem in terminal when type su. it say authentication failure sorry.
[05:12] <B52doc> like Compuserv days

[05:12] <DARKGuy> Pelo:  xD that one rocks
[05:12] <pgar23> yup it worked thanks alot
[05:13] <nickrud> Puppy_, you can try sudo eject in a terminal ...
[05:13] <DARKGuy> pgar23: welcome
[05:13] <B52doc> I am downloading the security package updates and it keeps dropping connection or slows to a grind
[05:13] <Pelo> Puppy_,  it will get the cd out, incase it is offcenter or someting and blocking the ejecct
[05:13] <Pelo> DARKGuy, what ever works
[05:13] <vas> wastrel would be too much to ask if you could just mess around w/ my script on pastebin so I can get an idea on how it whould look so I can go from there? sorry if I am asking of something too bothersome
[05:13] <DARKGuy> Pelo: yeah :P
[05:13] <wastrel> vas:  i can write a script but not a one-liner
[05:13] <B52doc> not kB/s, just b/s :(
[05:13] <vic1ous> Pelo,  i still can't get the mic working
[05:14] <Puppy_> nickrud: that ejected one of my two cd/dvd drives.

[05:14] <Puppy_> nickrud: how do I get the other one?
[05:14] <sayers> How can I make deluge my main torrent program?
[05:14] <vic1ous> Pelo,  i got it working once but someone told me to type something in terminal i cant remember what it was but it made it work
[05:14] <yug_ffuts> I walked through the faq for this, but when I run sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, it seems to just hang up...?
[05:14] <vas> wastrel do what you want.. you seem you know what your talking about
[05:14] <m0dY> could i dd some data from a loopback file starting from a certain block? like if i have a 4gb loopback file, and i want add those 4gb to another loopback file but startding from a certain block, let's say after block 512
[05:14] <xike> xgl looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/2vp38y, any ideas?
[05:14] <Pelo> DARKGuy, beleive this or not but once at a party I had to take apart a 5 cd player to get a cd that had gotten stuck under the cd tray , try and figure out how
[05:15] <nickrud> Puppy_, you can do ls /dev/cdrom*  to see what cdrom devices you have; then sudo eject /dev/cdromX
[05:15] <Pelo> vic1ous, sorry what are you talking about ?
[05:15] <Pelo> vic1ous, sorry mic right

[05:18] <Devo> I installed Code::blocks but when I try to open it it says starting Code::blocks but then the window disappears. What's wrong?
[05:18] <xike> why do you want their vanilla driver?

[05:19] <sid> I deleted the "Windows XP" entry from menu.lst, since there was already a vista one... but it turns out.. that it's the Vista boot loader, not that is only left now. So when I boot into windows, I always have to select "boot windows normally"
[05:19] <Puppy_> nickrud and Pelo: it finaly ejected. Thank you!
[05:19] <Pelo> Puppy_,  think of it this way , now you hve an excuse to buy a dvd-rw , they're only 40$
[05:19] <sid> I already saved, How can I make grub menu.lst like it was?
[05:20] <Devo> Nobody knows?
[05:20] <johnjohn> ipis: try googling that at www.google.com first it always helps to google before you ask
[05:20] <B52doc> Can I install Amarok even though its KDE ?
[05:20] <Devo> What is wrong with my Code::blocks?
[05:20] <Arafangion> sid: Don't you love it when MS doens't play nice with?

[05:20] <Pelo> sid,  restore the backup of your menu.lst file
[05:20] <sid> Pelo: good call, thanks
[05:20] <sid> good file policies by grub project
[05:21] <Puppy_> thank you nickrud and Pelo... nickrud yes it was very busy. lol
[05:21] <macogw> Devo: run it from the command line and see if it outputs an error. just telling us it quits is useless
[05:21] <Devo> macogw: Ok.
[05:21] <ipis> johnjohn:  i dont know what google is lol
[05:21] <Arafangion> Devo: Unlike microsoft's error messages, error messages in linux actually /mean/ something.
[05:21] <Arafangion> ipis: HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHAT GOOGLE IS?
[05:21] <johnjohn> ipis: its a great search engine
[05:22] <ipis> lol
[05:22] <nickrud> rflol, what a fisherman
[05:22] <ipis> im just kidding
[05:22] <Pelo> Arafangion, MS error msg mean someting you just need the 1k page book
[05:22] <Puppy_> bye
[05:22] <ipis> bye
[05:22] <sayers> Pelo, thats a good book
[05:22] <Devo> macogw: Where would I find the executable? Haha. Where is Linux's "Program Files".
[05:22] <DARKGuy> Arafangion: at least the newer blue screens throw up some garbage you can look up using the MS debugging tools - you couldn't do that back in 98 xD
[05:23] <vas> wastrel tell me if you need me to give you any more info about the whole situation
[05:23] <macogw> Devo: if you type "echo $PATH" itll answer the "where's Program Files?" question
[05:23] <yug_ffuts> So...can i get some help troubleshooting a belkin wireless card install?
[05:23] <macogw> Devo: but you dont need to know where it is to run it
[05:23] <Devo> macogw: OH.... shouldn't I know the name of the executable? I don't know the name. :(
[05:23] <macogw> Devo: there's a command that runs it, usually, the name of the program.  if it has multiple words it may or may not have a - in the middle
[05:24] <etyrnal> how do i get a list of ALL groups on my system and their corresponding GID ?
[05:24] <macogw> Devo: if you start typing the beginning of the name into the terminal, though, and hit the "tab" key twice, itll list all the possibilities that start with that
[05:24] <Pelo> yug_ffuts,  lookup the card model and number in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[05:24] <bulmer> etyrnal: cat /etc/group
[05:24] <etyrnal> yay!  thanks bulmer!
[05:24] <pdurph> stdio: i tweaked a Makefile.am that wasn't passing --prefix=$(DESTDIR) to "python setup.py ..." and now things seem to work. you rule
[05:24] <nickrud> Devo, dpkg -L <package> tells you all the files in a package; if you do dpkg -L <package> | grep bin it'll tell you the executables
[05:24] <macogw> Devo: thankfully, the terminal has the nice auto-completion feature
[05:24] <Devo> macogw: Ok.
[05:25] <Devo> macogw: Yeah. :D
[05:25] <ipis> is it possible to install an antivirus to a flashdrive?
[05:25] <ipis> lol
[05:25] <macogw> nickrud: oh THATs the command i was looking for like 5 minutes ago. i thought it might be apt-file show...
[05:25] <macogw> ipis: as a PortableApp? yes, i believe so
[05:25] <yug_ffuts> Pelo: did that already.  Belkin f5d7010 Ver 7 - says I need ndiswrapper, which I installed following the faq
[05:25] <ipis> okay okay
[05:25] <DerangedDingo> ipis: There's a few commands and devices for windows that scan files in "removable media", but I've never heard of any of that for windows
[05:26] <Devo> macogw: Here is the error. :D "codeblocks: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".
[05:26] <DerangedDingo> ipis: not commands.. programs... sorry, fuzzy brain :P
[05:26] <Pelo> yug_ffuts, I can't realy help on this, I was just giving you general info
[05:26] <ipis> whats windows?
[05:26] <yug_ffuts> :-)
[05:26] <macogw> Devo: ok
[05:26] <ipis> i only know linux
[05:26] <CoasterMaster> how can I allow another user to 'sudo'?
[05:26] <ipis> lol
[05:26] <macogw> CoasterMaster: in the system > admin > users & groups
[05:26] <Pelo> ipis, http://lifehacker.com/software/lifehacker-top-10/lh-top-10-usb-thumb-drive-tricks-255738.php
[05:26] <nickrud> CoasterMaster, sudo adduser <username> admin
[05:26] <DerangedDingo> ipis: heh.. another typo.. i the last windows is meant for linux
[05:26] <DerangedDingo> ipis: meant to be linux*
[05:27] <ipis> okay lol
[05:27] <DerangedDingo> i need sleep
[05:27] <macogw> devo: i think youre just missing the library
[05:27] <CoasterMaster> macogw + nickrud: thanks
[05:27] <Devo> macogw: Let me check to see if I have it.
[05:27] <nickrud> !find  libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0
[05:27] <yug_ffuts> If I run ndiswrapper it returns 'blkwgnv7 : driver installed | Device present" - but It still not working
[05:27] <q_a_z_steve> what is a quick way I can browse an iso to find out what firewall comes installed?
[05:28] <ubotu> File libwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8.so.0 found in libwxgtk2.8-0
[05:28] <nickrud> Devo, see ubotu just above
[05:28] <Devo> macogw: I don't think I have it, where.
[05:28] <Devo> nickrud: Thanks. :D
[05:28] <Pelo> q_a_z_steve,  doyou mean in ubuntu ? iptable
[05:28] <bluebanana> how can I get my menu (on website) to float and not move up or down when the page is scrolled?
[05:28] <Devo> nickrud: That's a cool feature.
[05:28] <vas> wastrel hows it looking so far?
[05:28] <Instabin> !find gpredict
[05:28] <nickrud> Devo, yeah, apt-file in a bot :)
[05:28] <ubotu> Found: gpredict
[05:28] <bulmer> q_a_z_steve: you need to mount the iso
[05:29] <DerangedDingo> bluebanana: i hate to be, that guy, but i dunno if this is the best place to ask
[05:29] <pdurph> stdin: thanks
[05:29] <q_a_z_steve> bulmer: exactly. How do I do that?
[05:29] <Devo> nickrud: So would I apt-get libwxgtk2.8-0?
[05:29] <bluebanana> sorry
[05:29] <Pelo> bluebanana, this isn'T a coding channel
[05:29] <stdin> pdurph: did it work?
[05:29] <nickrud> Devo, apt-get install lib<etc>
[05:29] <etyrnal> is there a way to make is so that when i run certain apps, that no matter which user i am, the files that the app creates are created as specific user and group other than my own ??
[05:29] <bulmer> q_a_z_steve: mount -o loop file.iso /mnt
[05:29] <Devo> nickrud: Alright, thanks. =)
[05:29] <q_a_z_steve> bluebanana: the answer is watermark
[05:29] <pdurph> stdin: think so.  i tweaked a Makefile.am that wasn't passing --prefix=$(DESTDIR) to "python setup.py ..." .
[05:30] <wastrel> vas:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34022/     i think that's something like what you're looking for?
[05:30] <pdurph> stdin: and now i ./configure --prefix=\$DESTDIR
[05:30] <nickrud> Devo, what package did you install that wanted that lib, anyway
[05:30] <bluebanana> q_a_z_steve, thanks
[05:30] <macogw> etyrnal: if you run the command "gksudo" it pops up a dialog that lets you pick a program and a user to run it as
[05:30] <|neon|> i have a ? on Avant-Window-Navigator when the cursor goes over an icon text appears i tried everything i can to disable that but it wont co away i am usin compiz-fusion btw thanks
[05:30] <pdurph> stdin: i get some lintian errors, but whatever
[05:30] <johnjohn> etyrnal: its in user/group creat window
[05:30] <bluebanana> q_a_z_steve, i'll try to find that in kompoZer.
[05:30] <macogw> |neon|: ask in #compiz-fusion
[05:30] <stdin> pdurph: cool, have a look on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU and in #ubuntu-motu if you want to see if you can get it in the repos ;)
[05:30] <macogw> |neon|: or if AWN has a channel, ask there
[05:30] <|neon|> macogw thanks
[05:30] <q_a_z_steve> bulmer: just /mnt ? Or something like cd6?
[05:31] <Instabin> When linux reads a dvd there is no encryption on the vob files?
[05:31] <etyrnal> e.g.:  i am user 501:501, but i want Blender2.43 to always save it's project files as drqueue:drqueue (999:999)
[05:31] <Devo> Yay! Code::blocks works! :D
[05:31] <Pelo> !dvd | Instabin
[05:31] <ubotu> Instabin: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[05:31] <soskel> hi
[05:31] <etyrnal> macogw:  i mean in terminal
[05:31] <Pelo> Instabin,  you need that libdvdcss2 file
[05:31] <macogw> etyrnal: you could change the command on that item in the menu so that it runs it as the other user
[05:31] <Instabin> Pelo: I already have dvd working
[05:32] <soskel> can I have an application featured in the next ubuntu update?: http://imageprocessinglab.com/

[05:32] <stdin> soskel: you want an application in the repositories ?
[05:32] <etyrnal> macgow: thanks fo rthe ideas.  i will not be using the GUI for this
[05:32] <Bspec> how do i tell what version of ubuntu i have installed?
[05:33] <stdin> !version
[05:33] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[05:33] <soskel> stdin: I want it as an update
[05:33] <Devo> Nooooo....!
[05:33] <macogw> etyrnal: at least, a quick skim of the manpage leads me to think that will work
[05:33] <stdin> soskel: so the version in the repos is out-of-date?
[05:33] <Instabin> Pelo: i was just wounder if the viewed dvd files where encrypted?
[05:33] <numus> i need a lot of help with ubuntu and installing a wpc11
[05:33] <numus> that is a linksys wireless card
[05:33] <soskel> stdin: no no, it isn't in the repos
[05:33] <Instabin> Pelo: or if its automaticly decrypted when its mounted
[05:33] <Mis1> I'm getting continuous hits on my firewall from service "stacheldraht".. which is a type of ddos attack yes?
[05:33] <soskel> I will add it
[05:33] <eboyjr> What would be the default permission for /var/www/
[05:33] <eboyjr> ?
[05:34] <Pelo> Instabin, when it plays
[05:34] <vas> wastrel THAT LOOKS GREAT!! thank you so much wastrel I REALLY appreciate all this.. so where it says #do something interesting here I could have it set a variable to the difference found between the two files?
[05:34] <stdin> soskel: that's what I asked the 1st time :p
[05:34] <joelbryan> i need people to test my Ubuntu based distribution, anyone interested?
[05:34] <soskel> :P
[05:34] <soskel> thanks
[05:34] <stdin> soskel: talk to the people in #ubuntu-motu
[05:34] <Flannel> eboyjr: root:root 755
[05:34] <soskel> i will add it
[05:34] <Devo> What does "(codeblocks:22355): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_realize_icon: assertion `info->icon_pixmap == NULL' failed
[05:34] <Devo> Killed" mean?
[05:34] <numus> anyone installed a linksksy wirelss card?
[05:34] <nickrud> eboyjr, www-data:root 755
[05:34] <macogw> Devo: im guessing it means the program is buggy
[05:34] <Devo> :(
[05:34] <macogw> numus: "linksys" doesnt matter.  chipset matters
[05:35] <macogw> numus: http://linux-wless.passys.nl and look up the chipset
[05:35] <Flannel> nickrud: is it really www-data:root now?
[05:35] <Devo> That makes me sad.
[05:35] <numus> the model of the linksys is wpc11
[05:35] <nickrud> Flannel, yes, it's so apache can have write permissions without being root
[05:35] <Flannel> nickrud: did that change in edgy or feisty?
[05:35] <Devo> macogw: Do you know another IDE for programming in C?
[05:36] <numus> ntersil chipset.
[05:36] <numus> intersil chipset
[05:36] <foug> is there an alarm clock in ubuntu?
[05:36] <joelbryan> why not use a2enmod userdir?
[05:36] <benanz1> gedit
[05:36] <nickrud> Flannel, as far as I remember, it's been that way since sarge
[05:36] <Flannel> nickrud: no, it's not.  Since it's root:root on dapper
[05:36] <macogw> Devo: Eclipse can do C
[05:36] <Pelo> foug,try checking for alarm in synaptic
[05:36] <wastrel> vas:  i don't think a bash variable can hold more than one line of data  (not without some playing around a bit)
[05:36] <Devo> macogw: Yeah... and Eclipse is not so bad. I'll try that.
[05:37] <macogw> Devo: Eclipse is an IDE for tons of stuff, it's just most popular for Java.  It's really meant to be like Visual Studio though
[05:37] <foug> Pelo: can kalarm use sound files? like mp3?
[05:37] <soskel> do I need ubuntu to package something?
[05:37] <vas> wastrel what would be your suggestion
[05:37] <Pelo> foug I do not know ,  install it and check, it's all free
[05:37] <macogw> soskel: i think so
[05:37] <numus> anyone get that?
[05:37] <Flannel> soskel: nope
[05:37] <wastrel> vas:  better to dump the diff into a file  like    diff $CACHE $NEWCACHE > somefile;
[05:37] <soskel> ah
[05:37] <macogw> numus: get what
[05:37] <numus> also i need a good file manager to delete a directory i didn'/t mean to make
[05:37] <wastrel> then you can mail the file off
[05:37] <macogw> ok i'm wrong
[05:37] <foug> Pelo: thanks
[05:37] <numus> intersil chipset.
[05:37] <stdin> foug: kalarm can run commands, so you can put in a command to play an mp3
[05:37] <wastrel> and remove it once it's been mailed
[05:37] <Superkuh> Wait, wait; www-data translates to root?
[05:37] <numus> macogw the chipset
[05:37] <macogw> numus: what?  "rm -rf <directory>"
[05:37] <nickrud> Flannel, I don't know then, I though I read a discussion about it on one of the debian lists years ago; conflating again, I think
[05:37] <Flannel> Superkuh: no
[05:38] <q_a_z_steve> how do I turn on vnc?
[05:38] <numus> macogw the directory has a space in teh  name
[05:38] <macogw> numus: 1) dont do it as root 2) don't do it on /
[05:38] <macogw> numus: so?
[05:38] <q_a_z_steve> or rather allow vnc connections?
[05:38] <Superkuh> Okay, just me jumping in at the wrong moment and misunderstanding. nevermind.
[05:38] <Pelo> numus,  just use nautilus , if the directory is root access start it with gksu nautilus
[05:38] <macogw> numus: you can put the part with the space in quotes, or escape the space with a backslash
[05:38] <Flannel> nickrud: escape the space with \, also, tab complete auto-escapes when completing
[05:38] <numus> macogw ok but how about my wireless card problem
[05:38] <neozen> q_a_z install x11vnc and set it up
[05:38] <macogw> numus: example: rm -rf ~/my\ stuff/  OR rm -rf ~/"my stuff"/
[05:39] <benanz1> q_a_z_steve: vino-preferences
[05:39] <slavik`lap> rm -rf is too dangerous
[05:39] <benanz1> in a temingal
[05:39] <vas> wastrel that would work, n srry to bother w/ the newb questions, but cuz it's going to be received eventually through SMS, there isnt way it could be turned into an array and each line could be sent as a different email or something
[05:39] <benanz1> terminal
[05:39] <Punkunity> hey room, i need some help with converting avi video into MPeg4 for the psp, i guess it might need the resolution resized too.....anyone?
[05:39] <macogw> numus: did it say it's "green"?
[05:39] <neozen> easiest way I"ve found thusfar to allow access to the current display
[05:39] <Pelo> Punkunity,  try avidemux
[05:39] <etyrnal> i am SO confused on sticky bit
[05:39] <macogw> slavik`lap: i said no root and no /
[05:39] <slavik`lap> Punkunity: psp is "experimental"
[05:40] <neozen> etyrnal: you'er not the only one
[05:40] <etyrnal> ha ha ha
[05:40] <neozen> *you're even
[05:40] <slavik`lap> macogw: that was a general note
[05:40] <macogw> slavik`lap: rm -rf is *useful* if you remember those two rules
[05:40] <Punkunity> pelo ty and slavik`lap i know but i know its possible somehow
[05:40] <macogw> especially when you dont have X running
[05:40] <numus> ok but anyone have help for a intersil chipset
[05:40] <Punkunity> i tried out pspvc form sourceforge but i dont know how to install it, and i did install it b4 but it wont run
[05:40] <slavik`lap> numus: have you tried the wiki?
[05:41] <Punkunity> i tried usiing programs for wine like when i had windows but to no avail
[05:41] <numus> slavik'lap yes but the wiki had a broken link in the driver link
[05:41] <Pelo> Punkunity,  avidemux will let you convert the file,and change almost everything abut it , it,s in the repos
[05:41] <slavik`lap> Punkunity: try avidemux, like it was suggested
[05:41] <PwcrLinux> adobe flashplayer crashed, FF browser unexpect shut down.. I need help with adobe flashplayer
[05:41] <neozen> numus: have you taken a look for your make/model on ubuntuforums.org yet?
[05:41] <numus> neozen yes but the help i found has a broken driver link
[05:41] <neozen> PwcrLinux: 64-bit chip?
[05:41] <FatherTime> Hello Ubuntu users--- first time caller.
[05:41] <joelbryan> What anyone want in a Linux distribution?
[05:42] <slavik`lap> hmm, does ndiswrapper support wpa2?
[05:42] <neozen> numus: hmm.... that's unfortunate
[05:42] <PwcrLinux> neozen: no, it's p4 2 Ghz lappy
[05:42] <neozen> greetings FatherTime
[05:42] <neozen> how might we help u today?
[05:42] <Pelo> PwcrLinux,  remove flash,  hunt down the files and settings folder and remvoe them , then install again using the one in the repos
[05:42] <FatherTime> Just dropping in to say hi and check out the channel
[05:42] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: okay hang on
[05:42] <neozen> ahh
[05:42] <slavik`lap> FatherTime: this isn't ubuntu-chat, sorry
[05:42] <IdleOne> !hi | FatherTime
[05:42] <ubotu> FatherTime: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:43] <neozen> well its usually hopping pretty fast
[05:43] <johnjohn> punkunity: try changing the format like if its .mp3 and u want .mpeg4 take the .mp3 and make it .mpeg4 or .mpg4 see it tha works i knwo it did with mine from .wma to .ogg
[05:43] <neozen> feel free to jump in if you know the answer
[05:43] <genefitz> Pelo: it is a common mistake many make, installing from other sources than the repos.
[05:43] <neozen> to the problem someone posts
[05:43] <Punkunity> johnjohn thats genous almost
[05:43] <Punkunity> wiow
[05:43] <Punkunity> hmmm
[05:43] <paul0> hi, to upgrade to gutsy i just need to add it to my sources.list, apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade?
[05:43] <neozen> um.... there is no #ubuntu-chat
[05:44] <slavik`lap> paul0: use update manager
[05:44] <Pelo> genefitz, check out my new quitline links if you have a chance, you'll have a laugh
[05:44] <neozen> or if there is .... its empty
[05:44] <slavik`lap> !offtopic
[05:44] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[05:44] <slavik`lap> :)
[05:44] <genefitz> Will do
[05:44] <Pelo> slavik`lap, add a   | nick   after your  triggers so they are directed at someone
[05:44] <neozen> ah... that sounds right
[05:44] <slavik`lap> Pelo: I know about pipes ;)
[05:45] <paul0> slavik`lap, i should change my sources.list to use gutsy repositories or i just run update-manager?
[05:45] <genefitz> Pelo: I use a different system, but I am sure the repos probably have modded and optomized drivers for Ubuntu.
[05:45] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: I not finding in the browser for adobe flashplayer, show I find on the Home dir?
[05:45] <numus> whats the command to edit a file
[05:45] <slavik`lap> paul0: gksudo update-manager -d I think, but backup your data and don't use it on production machines
[05:45] <q_a_z_steve> why does firefox say it doesn't support open search when I try to add from mycroft???
[05:45] <neozen> numus: depends on the person
[05:45] <genefitz> I know the repos for Fedora, like Livna have specially mod'ed drivers and such to work better with Fedora
[05:45] <nickrud> numist, gedit
[05:45] <slavik`lap> numus: vim
[05:45] <Pelo> PwcrLinux,  do a search for it try locate flash in the terminal
[05:45] <macogw> numus: nano
[05:46] <PwcrLinux> okay
[05:46] <neozen> numus: many use gedit... or nano... or even emacs.... I prefer vim
[05:46] <Pelo> PwcrLinux,  and in synaptic search for flash , not adobe flash
[05:46] <numus> well that didn't help my problem with the card lol
[05:46] <fuuma> lol
[05:46] <paul0> slavik`lap, is that unstable? i was using the debian testing without problems..
[05:46] <neozen> "an elegant weapon... from a more civilized age"
[05:46] <macogw> numus: gedit if you have a gui, vim if you dont, nano if you dont have a gui and dont know vim
[05:46] <nickrud> oh, macogw you need to factoid that one
[05:46] <neozen> yeah that sounds right
[05:46] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: yea, I need to remove before install it..
[05:47] <slavik`lap> paul0: if gutsy breaks your system, don't complain about it, that's all. it's in dev, not release
[05:47] <neozen> and emacs... if you like an OS IN your editor
[05:47] <paul0> slavik`lap, hm... i see
[05:47] <ianmcorvidae> lol
[05:47] <slavik`lap> neozen: when your text editor can play tetris, it is not a text editor anymore
[05:47] <macogw> nickrud: what?
[05:47] <q_a_z_steve> anyone know a good channel for help with Thibor firmware?
[05:47] <neozen> I agree
[05:48] <macogw> slavik`lap: hahahaha.  yeah "i like emacs, but its text editor sucks"
[05:48] <FatherTime> Does Automatix present any conflicts with the normal package manager?  Say when you download a later version of FireFox using Automatix, does the package manager then try to downgrade it?
[05:48] <nickrud> macogw, there used to be an !editor factoid, something like that one
[05:48] <macogw> FatherTime: dont use automatix
[05:48] <paul0> slavik`lap, i'm using the amd64 ubuntu, but i the feisty doesn't have amd64 binaries to sun-java6, so i can't use it with firefox
[05:48] <FatherTime> really?
[05:48] <genefitz> paul0: I have a soft spot for testing and "unstable" systems. It really is a 50/50. But someone has to do it..
[05:48] <slavik`lap> !automatix | FatherTime:
[05:48] <macogw> FatherTime: we will all hate you
[05:48] <ubotu> FatherTime:: 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)

[05:48] <Flannel> FatherTime: yes, its very dangerous
[05:48] <johnjohn> punkunity: did that work with just changing the .mp3 to what u wanted?
[05:48] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: I found it, do I need to remove the 2 files, what's the DS_store?
[05:48] <slavik`lap> paul0: dunno what to say, but I am on gutsy atm
[05:48] <FatherTime> so you have to download and configure all those .mp3 codecs and video codes manually?
[05:48] <neozen> anything automatix can do.. you can do yourself
[05:48] <Pb2007> does anyone know of a photoshop clone for linux ?
[05:48] <genefitz> paul0, I say, if you want to use Gutsy, go ahead, but be sure not to keep anything too important on the system.. Just in case it takes a dive
[05:48] <Pelo> PwcrLinux,  ds_store ? know idea
[05:48] <neozen> FatherTime: its not so bad
[05:48] <macogw> FatherTime: because it breaks things.  it can make it so that when you try to upgrade to a new version of ubuntu, it goes bonkers and the upgrade doesnt work, and then you come here complaining that the update broke and we cant help because automatix made it be stupid

[05:49] <q_a_z_steve> Pb2007: OSAlt.com
[05:49] <neozen> FatherTime: we can help you through it
[05:49] <Punkunity> joh
[05:49] <macogw> FatherTime: no most of automatix's draw has been covered in Feisty
[05:49] <Punkunity> joh
[05:49] <Flannel> FatherTime: You don't need to do it manually.  Feisty includes automated methods ot install them already
[05:49] <Punkunity> johnjohn yeah so far
[05:49] <neozen> FatherTime: you'll be up and running in 30 min
[05:49] <macogw> FatherTime: go into the Add/Remove in applications
[05:49] <macogw> FatherTime: and have it show all packages
[05:49] <genefitz> paul0: 50/50 means it may work perfectly, it may go to heck in a hand basket..
[05:49] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: I dunno about DS_store on the plugins dir
[05:49] <FatherTime> ok i will not use it going forward--- thanks for the advice.
[05:49] <macogw> FatherTime: and one is called "ubuntu-restricted-extras" it has all the codecs and everything to get it going easy
[05:49] <q_a_z_steve> macogw: what about easyubuntu ?
[05:50] <FatherTime> thank you very  much
[05:50] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, are they in a /flash folder ? get rid of them
[05:50] <paul0> boring =(
[05:50] <slavik`lap> !easyubunty
[05:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easyubunty - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:50] <macogw> q_a_z_steve: i havent seen its code or an analysis of it, so i don't know how it works and what it may or may not do
[05:50] <slavik`lap> !easyubuntu
[05:50] <ubotu> easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu
[05:50] <johnjohn> punkunity cool id like to now if it works to soon im going to get me a psp will u let me know if it works?

[05:50] <Punkunity> johnjohn sure
[05:50] <Punkunity> this porn is too buig tho
[05:51] <johnjohn> punkunity: thanks
[05:51] <macogw> FatherTime: do you have a DVD drive?
[05:51] <slavik`lap> macogw: you read the automatix analysis?
[05:51] <borovy3488> anyone good with Beryl??
[05:51] <macogw> slavik`lap: yes
[05:51] <slavik`lap> k
[05:51] <macogw> borovy3488: maybe
[05:51] <wastrel> borovy3488:  #ubuntu-effects
[05:51] <Pelo> borovy3488,  the ppl in #beryl are
[05:51] <slavik`lap> compiz-fusion :P
[05:51] <macogw> borovy3488: #ubuntu-effects is a better place to ask though
[05:51] <wastrel> hah
[05:51] <genefitz> nickrud: easyubuntu and automatix are a risky venture, some swear by them, some swear it crashes their system..
[05:51] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: none, just inside have 2 files shows flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so  leaving the DS_store..
[05:51] <genefitz> I just do the repo search for most items, and what I can't, I install individually
[05:52] <paul0> slavik`lap and genefitz, thanks for the information
[05:52] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, also try chcking in the ~/.mozilla folder and in ~/.firefox
[05:52] <slavik`lap> anytime (that I am here :P)
[05:52] <neozen> I install the newest jdk manually... and that's about it
[05:52] <nickrud> genefitz, I also, I spent a lot of time breezy/dapper time frame documenting that stuff on the wiki in response to automatix
[05:52] <neozen> oh... and installed linuxdc++
[05:52] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: okay hang on
[05:52] <macogw> i have a friend whose computer is so royally F'ed by Automatix that she has a half edgy / half feisty system and needs to reinstall because it just keeps getting worse
[05:52] <neozen> other then that... I use the repository
[05:53] <nickrud> genefitz, and people adding marilat's repos to their sources ;(
[05:53] <neozen> oh... and latest azureus
[05:53] <therealnanotube> anyone here runs ubuntu 64bit?
[05:53] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: hidden file .mozilla
[05:53] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, if your /home folder is in a different partiton you might want ot search your / partiton as well
[05:53] <FatherTime> Anyone run MythTV on ubuntu?
[05:54] <genefitz> nickrud: Yup, but as long as those are out there, and they offer an "easy install" people will use them. Especially since Pioneer Linux is pushing the heck out of Automatix..
[05:54] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: my lappy for linux only, no other os in the lappy
[05:54] <thepat20> Hi! I need help installing my printer. Anyone want to help me out?
[05:54] <nickrud> genefitz, heh. Never heard of Pioneer Linux, and that's scary
[05:54] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, not what i meant but if you didn't understand you donT need to worry about it
[05:54] <thoreauputic> thepat20: try being a bit more specific :)
[05:54] <genefitz> But hey, now that Pioneer is supporting Automatix, they may make an actual stable version..
[05:54] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: should I delete the 2 files in the plugins dir?
[05:54] <Punkunity> johnjohn, get ready in about 2 minutes
[05:55] <Punkunity> or less
[05:55] <macogw> FatherTime: hey do you have a dvd drive?
[05:55] <vic1ous> is there a way to watch cpu usage?
[05:55] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, I would say yes
[05:55] <thepat20> I need to install my HP Photosmart C4150 All in One In Ubuntu, and i am a n00b
[05:55] <genefitz> nickrud, pioneer is a paid linux distro, based in ubuntu, geared more to education and such..
[05:55] <thoreauputic> vic1ous: top
[05:55] <johnjohn> i do have a question for anyone in here i know this not the right room but how do i install a xbox 360 chillstream logitech into the ubuntu feisty
[05:55] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: Okay, I'm deleting the 2 files now
[05:55] <wastrel> vas:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34024/
[05:55] <therealnanotube> who runs 64bit ubuntu? got a really quick question for you
[05:55] <nickrud> and if someone actually swallows a bit of pride and takes mjg's criticism correctly
[05:55] <Pelo> vic1ous,  there are pannel applets and gdesklets that will let you do that
[05:55] <vic1ous> thoreauputic, thanks
[05:55] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: 2 file deleted
[05:55] <numus> ok so my card is seeing the wireless networks
[05:55] <slavik`lap> !ask | therealnanotube
[05:55] <vas> wow.. wastrel is jesus
[05:55] <ubotu> therealnanotube: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:55] <B52doc> Does ndiswrapper come with Ubuntu ?
[05:55] <numus> but no signal from them and the key isn't working
[05:56] <therealnanotube> slavik`lap: ok, what's your output of "uname -m"
[05:56] <james296> can anyone tell me what the default sources.list is?
[05:56] <thoreauputic> !ndiswrapper
[05:56] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:56] <macogw> B52doc: on the disk, but i dont think installed by default
[05:56] <slavik`lap> if wastrel is jesus, then I am moses :P
[05:56] <nickrud> vic1ous, someone just recently told me about htop, it's really nice
[05:56] <B52doc> oh
[05:56] <neozen> B52doc: no.... but its in the repos
[05:56] <wastrel> vas it's probably buggy.  totally untested
[05:56] <Punkunity> johnjohn make that like maybe less than 10 minutes
[05:56] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, ok now go in menu > applications > add/remove and search for flash a package called restricted extras should show up, install it
[05:56] <B52doc> my wireless connection doesnt work, so I am going to d/l it I guess
[05:56] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: prefect, I checked on my tv station, there is no plugin whew
[05:56] <wastrel> also probably inefficient and for all i know illegal
[05:57] <slavik`lap> therealnanotube: -m, --machine            print the machine hardware name
[05:57] <thepat20> Thoreauputic, its a HP Photosmart C4150 and i I have no idea how to install it.
[05:57] <james296> I REALLY need to know plz...
[05:57] <therealnanotube> slavik`lap: yes, i know what it does. :) i want to know what it outputs on 64bit ubuntu.
[05:57] <q_a_z_steve> can anyone help me configure my router I installed Thibor, and I can't figure out how to get vnc working
[05:57] <slavik`lap> therealnanotube: no idea :(
[05:57] <johnjohn> punkunity: so if its ten min or under it will work?
[05:57] <numus> this is so annoying
[05:57] <Pelo> q_a_z_steve,  if no one can answer your question here I suggest you check in the forum  www.ubuntuforums.org
[05:57] <slavik`lap> therealnanotube: prolly amd64
[05:57] <thoreauputic> thepat20: have you looked in System- Administration- Printing ?
[05:58] <therealnanotube> slavik`lap: aye, there's the rub. :) that's why i was asking for a 64bit ubuntu user to run "uname -m" for me. :) i /think/ it should output "x86_64", but i'm not sure, since i don't have 64bit ubuntu...
[05:58] <nickrud> james, you can get a good sources at http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[05:58] <thoreauputic> thepat20: most HP printers are well supported
[05:58] <slavik`lap> therealnanotube: go to the forums, but why does this matter?
[05:58] <B52doc> where do I extract the ndiswrapper package to ? Does it matter ?
[05:58] <neozen> ..................don't extract ndiswrapper
[05:58] <genefitz> nickrud: Either way, I don't really trust any distro that takes a good open code, plays with it a little then tries to sell it. Which is why I am not a fan of linspire..
[05:58] <therealnanotube> slavik`lap: need it for a script to detect if it's on 64bit ubuntu. :)
[05:58] <q_a_z_steve> Pelo:  Not sure what chan would be able to help, don't have a list in this chatzilla to search either
[05:58] <thepat20> thoreauputic i am looking right now
[05:58] <neozen> use the repositories
[05:58] <slavik`lap> therealnanotube: ask in forums :)
[05:59] <JDStone> anyone running Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro?  I'm having some Xorg problems?
[05:59] <genefitz> Though, CNR wouldn't be a bad add on for Ubuntu, I don't think..
[05:59] <wastrel> what's cnr?
[05:59] <nickrud> genefitz, I have no problem with selling, as long as they provide valuable support. Of course, that support won't have the heart that this place has ;)
[05:59] <Pelo> q_a_z_steve,  maybe if you check on thibor website they have one listed
[05:59] <therealnanotube> slavik`lap: well, i figured, it's such an amazingly quick question, and out of 1000 users here, /one/ dude must be running 64bit... that it would be quicker to come to irc. :) apparently... i was wrong...
[05:59] <thoreauputic> thepat20: usually the driver is already there and it's just a matter of clicking throught the "wizard" and choosing your model
[05:59] <slavik`lap> cnr = cut down synaptic with a different repo
[05:59] <harveyneon> howdy all
[05:59] <slavik`lap> therealnanotube: but not all 1k pay attention :P
[05:59] <genefitz> wastrel, CNR is a combined repository and installer for Linspire.
[06:00] <therealnanotube> slavik`lap: indeed. :) so how've you been doing, anyway, dude? :)
[06:00] <B52doc> dont have a network connection, so I cant install ndiswrapper from repo's :(
[06:00] <slavik`lap> meh
[06:00] <thepat20> throeauputic, it detects 2 printers, one on a USB 1 port and another on a USB with a long character list, which one do u recommed i pick
[06:00] <genefitz> nickrud: I agree..  Beauty of these IRC channels, is that it is easier to learn..
[06:00] <harveyneon> Looking for hard drive / partition help.....
[06:00] <BO3> HI
[06:00] <therealnanotube> slavik`lap: haven't seen you in a while, haven't been around on irc
[06:00] <slavik`lap> therealnanotube: if you want to chat, join offtopic
[06:00] <TheViLliN> i have a silly question i think. why after i compile a program then try to run the executable do i get a "bash: (file here): command not found"
[06:00] <therealnanotube> slavik`lap: heh, oh yea, you're right. :)
[06:01] <coreyo> I have feisty + gnome + beryl.  The problem is that, no matter what I set as my move, menu, resize bindings in the beryl settings manager, it's always alt-mouse2 for menu and alt-mouse3 for resize
[06:01] <pc22> how do u download a website in ubuntu?
[06:01] <therealnanotube> ubuntu 64 bit users: what is your output of "uname -m" ? please? :)
[06:01] <thepat20> thoreauputic it is asking me to select a PPD file?
[06:01] <nickrud> TheViLliN, try ./<command> (the current directory is not on the PATH)
[06:01] <thoreauputic> thepat20: I have no idea :) Try whatever looks like default
[06:01] <therealnanotube> pc22: use wget
[06:01] <coreyo> whoever decided to dictate that resize would be mouse3 needs to be castrated, as it is awkward and has no logic
[06:01] <harveyneon> windows xp partition left oer at the beginning of hard drive, would like to reclaim the entire disk to ubuntu without reinstalling.. anyone know if this is possible/where to find detailed instructions? I've looked everywhere.
[06:01] <Pelo> nickrud, #debian does have a "swim or we will drown you" approach
[06:01] <thoreauputic> thepat20: you probably clicked "install driver" - don't do that
[06:01] <B52doc> does it matter where I extract the Ndiswrapper package to ? dont have a network connection to d/l it from the repo
[06:02] <wastrel> TheViLliN:  the program isn't in the command path that bash searches to locate executables.  call it with a full path  (try ./executable  if it's in the same dir) or move it to a directory in the $PATH
[06:02] <thepat20> thoreauputic yeah thats what i did
[06:02] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: Add/Remove not show the "Restricted" area, and I switched to the SPM to search for "Flash" they have a several files in it
[06:02] <thoreauputic> thepat20: check the list for your model - you probably don't need a ppd file
[06:02] <FruitLoop> can anyone help me? I can't make my any of my mics record with anything - not sound recorder or anything....
[06:02] <TheViLliN> nickrun: so you cant run a program from your home dir if its not in your path
[06:02] <wastrel> nickrud = succinct
[06:02] <Digital2501> therealnanotube: How would you use curL to mirror a website
[06:02] <thoreauputic> thepat20: because it is probably already there :)
[06:02] <nickrud> Pelo, from what I heard when I dropped in recently, it's 'here, hold this weight while we watch'
[06:02] <pc22> therealnanotube, you can download the whole website?
[06:02] <slavik`lap> B52doc: download the deb from the repos and use dpkg to install it
[06:02] <harveyneon> FruitLoop: did you check if it's muted in volume control?
[06:02] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, sorry , it does have a macromedia flash  player, that was the package I meant,  sorry it has been awhile
[06:02] <thepat20> throeauputic okay wow that was really simple
[06:03] <Pelo> !flash | PwcrLinux
[06:03] <harveyneon> FruitLoop: make sure you have your sound system working properly.
[06:03] <thepat20> thanks for ur help
[06:03] <ubotu> PwcrLinux: 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
[06:03] <wastrel> TheViLliN:  homedir isn't in path   i created ~/bin  and added it to my path for stuff like this.
[06:03] <nickrud> TheViLliN, exactly. There're good reasons for that
[06:03] <thoreauputic> thepat20: yep :)
[06:03] <Pelo> lol nickrud
[06:03] <CharlieSu> What is the difference between the alternate and server CD?  I'm building a headless server that is a mythtv backend, webserver, DB server and SVN server.   What is best for me?
[06:03] <parkbench> hallo thar, i need some help figuring out something about a network card.
[06:03] <nickrud> TheViLliN, if you make a /home/<you>/bin, ubuntu will automatically find it
[06:03] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: I am on the breezy
[06:03] <HugLeo> I found a serious error to openoffice in ubuntu. Do anybody help? Steps: Open the openffice, create a presentation, Menu Format, Slide Design, Load, select presentations to Categories and to Templates Blue and Ok.
[06:03] <FruitLoop> harveyneon: it't not muted except in recording, if I unmute it I get feedback noise.
[06:03] <harveyneon> FruitLoop: by that I mean a working sound server, you can listen to MP3's and the web, for example
[06:03] <PwcrLinux> [Linux Clock] [08/16/07] [11:03 PM] [Minneapolis, MN, USA] [Ubuntu Breezy Badger 5.10 Linux 2.6.12-10-386 [i686/1.99GHz] ] 
[06:03] <nickrud> ah, gotta go. Bye all
[06:03] <B52doc> slavik 'lap: I dont need an internet connection to d/l it ?
[06:03] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: see above
[06:03] <therealnanotube> pc22: yea, in "man wget" look up options "-r" and "-l"
[06:03] <wastrel> automatically eh
[06:04] <harveyneon> FruitLoop: try turning it down, in volume control
[06:04] <wastrel> so i guess i can take that out of my .bashrc
[06:04] <numus> supposibly ndiswrapper is suppose to take care of it
[06:04] <TheViLliN> awesome,  thx
[06:04] <patrick__> Have a nube ? about my setup. Have 2 hd's One w/ dapper the other w/ server ver 6.06. How do I get to see both in dapper?
[06:04] <harveyneon> numus: supposibly is not a word
[06:04] <slavik`lap> HugLeo: submit bug report on launchpad please or tell OOo people
[06:04] <therealnanotube> Digital2501: i haven't used curl, so i don't know... i suspect it would be pretty similar to wget, though
[06:04] <Miso> How can I do a clean uninstall of azureus?
[06:04] <numus> harveyneon i know..
[06:04] <FruitLoop> harveyneon: I can play sounds mp3s etc .. turning what down?
[06:04] <harveyneon> numus you are teh roz0rz
[06:04] <pc22> thanks
[06:04] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, hmmm, I think you might want to upgrade  ,that is pretty much yor only alternatie if you donT' care for dling flsh from the adobe site,   you might wnat ot try restarting your computer and installing flash again from the site, it might work better
[06:04] <numus> harveyneon anyways... anyone get a wpc11 to work?
[06:04] <harveyneon> the mic should have a slider in your volume control, FruitLoop
[06:04] <johnjohn> Miso: sudo apt-get remove

[06:05] <FruitLoop> harveyneon: I get nuthin...
[06:05] <parkbench> i want to buy this (http://snipurl.com/1plaf) and i'm not sure if my laptop has the proper slot. i looked in HWiNFO and it says i have a "32 bit pcmcia slot" and im wondering if this is the right thing? if not, are there any network cards i could look into that work with ubuntu out of the box?
[06:05] <ecaandrew> whats up
[06:05] <Punkunity> lol
[06:05] <harveyneon> windows xp partition left oer at the beginning of hard drive, would like to reclaim the entire disk to ubuntu without reinstalling.. anyone know if this is possible/where to find detailed instructions? I've looked everywhere.
[06:05] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: yea, I rather wait till my HD dies, I plan to get other HD to install newest version of Ubuntu, I have the 6.06 CD in my box
[06:06] <Punkunity> im gonna pissed if it dont work

[06:06] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, we are up to 7.04 , 7.10 in 2 months
[06:06] <johnjohn> anyone want to give me a hand installing a game pad?
[06:06] <CharlieSu> numus: apt-cache search name
[06:06] <harveyneon> FruitLoop the feedback you report sounds like the mic is working and getting too much sound through to the speakers. try plugging in a set of headphones instead of your loudspeakers and see if you can hear yourself with no feedback?
[06:06] <slavik`lap> harveyneon: gparted :)
[06:06] <Pelo> PwcrLinux,  reboot the computer,  and try installing adobe flash from the site again
[06:07] <Miso> johnjohn, thanks
[06:07] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, at least now you know how to remove it if it borked again
[06:07] <johnjohn> Miso: you welcome
[06:07] <harveyneon> slavik`lap it will take over the whole drive, resizing my existing root partition on ubuntu from 8 to 40 gigs?
[06:08] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: not worry about my lappy, linux will automatic detecting that are not running flashplayer after I removed the 2 files
[06:08] <therealnanotube> does anyone have a 64bit ubuntu install handy? what's your output of "uname -m" ?
[06:08] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, you might want to give gnash a try, it's only an alpha but it' in the repos it's a flash alternative
[06:08] <slavik`lap> harveyneon: dunno if it supports resizing without formating in feisty, use a gutsy tribe 4 set up cd to resize it
[06:08] <harveyneon> holy shit i just had four ghetto birds whip over the top of my house!
[06:08] <pc22> therealnanotube, what is the --tries? i dont understand it
[06:08] <Punkunity> johnjohn, it says the data is currupted when i start the psp and go to the video section
[06:08] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: maybe I can search on the web to get alternative flash player
[06:09] <Fezzler> how can I see if my neighbors are tapping into my wireless router?
[06:09] <Punkunity> but whne i put them memory card in my computer and navigate to the video section it shows the scene from the film as the icon johnjohn
[06:09] <therealnanotube> pc22: how many times wget retries downloading a file, if the download fails or stalls.
[06:09] <pc22> thanks
[06:09] <Pelo> Fezzler,  you just need to secure your router, google for it , there are lots of howtos
[06:09] <FruitLoop> harveyneon: I hear the output from mic in the headphones when I have mic unmuted, but I still can't record anything from the mic in sound recorder
[06:09] <slavik`lap> Fezzler: see if there are too many dhcp clients in your router config stuff
[06:10] <parkbench> i want to buy this (http://snipurl.com/1plaf) and i'm not sure if my laptop has the proper slot. i looked in HWiNFO and it says i have a "32 bit pcmcia slot" and im wondering if this is the right thing? if not, are there any network cards i could look into that work with ubuntu out of the box?
[06:10] <danilo_> disculpen pero hay alguien que hable espaol? gracias
[06:10] <slavik`lap> FruitLoop: does sound recorder have proper source set?
[06:10] <harveyneon> slavik`lap NICE ALPHA SWEET i'll look it up.
[06:10] <johnjohn> punkunity: sorry it was a shot i mean it worked for the .wma formats sorry it didnt work and i got no idea about the memory card icons
[06:10] <patrick__> how do I see 2 distros on 2 hd's

[06:11] <harveyneon> FruitLoop: reboot!
[06:11] <Pelo> PwcrLinux,  I only know of one gnash and I have never tried it
[06:11] <parkbench> pelo: but is the one i mentioned correct?
[06:11] <FruitLoop> harveyneon: reboot? why?
[06:11] <Punkunity> johnjohn, it juts looks like itll work in the window that comes up to view the memory card in my computer....well im trying avidemux we''l see how that goes
[06:11] <Pelo> parkbench, I have no idea check the card's spec sheet
[06:11] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: gnash as the flashplayer?
[06:11] <parkbench> im just not sure if pcmcia and mini pci are the same thing
[06:11] <johnjohn> nathan__: it just changes the cube to the top view and the other arrows do the same effect with the way they r pointing
[06:11] <macogw> nathan__: top of the cube on beryl, spread it out flat on compiz, i think
[06:12] <CharlieSu> what Ubuntu CD should i use to install a Server w/ software RAID 1?
[06:12] <Pelo> PwcrLinux,  gnash is a flashplayer alternative for linux , it is in alpah
[06:12] <harveyneon> FruitLoop: ....

[06:14] <macogw> PwcrLinux: O_O upgrade!
[06:14] <PwcrLinux> SPM does not have a gnash darn it
[06:14] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, you can try google and get the source
[06:14] <FruitLoop> hello? should I reboot as harvey suggested or is someone esel going to help me with my mic problem?
[06:14] <w30> How do I get gnome window manager to work in VNC? All I caget is a blank screen with a X for a mouse pointer.
[06:14] <Pelo> macogw, we covered that bit already
[06:14] <PwcrLinux> let me checking now
[06:14] <cirrus_> Patrick: you can mix many different OS on different partitions and boot from grub... some assembly required.  Good for testing unstable version of ubuntu etc.
[06:14] <macogw> PwcrLinux: youre not getting secruity updates if it's that old, and because the security stuff is gone, well, thats part of what caused those ubuntu servers to go down last week
[06:15] <Fezzler> Is there something I can run at Terminal to see if someone else is tapped into my wireless?  ifconfig?
[06:15] <Punkunity> johnjohn, thanks for the help man, itll be about an hour or less to see if the avidemux works
[06:15] <slavik`lap> Fezzler: no
[06:15] <FruitLoop> anyone?
[06:15] <Punkunity> avidemux has a psp option and one psp part says (broken) next to it
[06:15] <m0u5e> so after we enable hyperthreading (ht=on) and sudo update-grub, we just reboot and we should have ht enabled?
[06:15] <slavik`lap> FruitLoop: is the sound recording software set to proper source?
[06:15] <PwcrLinux> macogw: yea, I rather wait till my HD goes dies then get new HD and install new higher version of Ubuntu..
[06:15] <Pelo> Fezzler,  why don't you just secure your router and be done with it ? or are yo looking to hve a fight with your neigbours
[06:15] <johnjohn> punkunity: ok well i will be here
[06:15] <macogw> m0u5e: yep
[06:15] <genefitz> Punkunity: what wireless router are you using?
[06:15] <therealnanotube> FruitLoop: my knowledge goes as far as "plug it in and go" :)
[06:16] <therealnanotube> does anyone have a 64bit ubuntu install handy? what's your output of "uname -m" ?
[06:16] <johnjohn> how can i do a priate chat to someone in this room?
[06:16] <macogw> PwcrLinux: well, make sure you have no -server anything running
[06:16] <Punkunity> genefitz, why ??
[06:16] <patrick__> cirrus, thanx now can I see both distros in either by mounting hd?
[06:16] <macogw> johnjohn: what clienta re you  using?
[06:16] <m0u5e> macogw: awesome thgx :)
[06:16] <FruitLoop> slavik`lap: I don't know. What should the proper source be?
[06:16] <slavik`lap> macogw: no
[06:16] <johnjohn> xchat
[06:16] <Punkunity> genefitz, i dont even have a wirelss router
[06:16] <Pelo> Punkunity, chck in the avidemux website to see if they ahve a fix out
[06:16] <slavik`lap> FruitLoop: alsa
[06:16] <PwcrLinux> macogw: yea, not worry about it, it's not getting updates after they stopped supports
[06:16] <slavik`lap> johnjohn: why do you need to message someone?
[06:16] <Fezzler> Pelo:  I'm new to wireless and the learning curve is steep.  I believe it is secure but when I came home from work the lights were flickering.
[06:16] <Punkunity> ok pelo ty good idea duh
[06:16] <macogw> slavik`lap: no what?
[06:16] <genefitz> sorry Punkunity, I thought you were asking how one can tell if someone it tapped into their wireless..
[06:16] <macogw> johnjohn: click their name, i think
[06:17] <genefitz> I must have cought the wrong name..
[06:17] <slavik`lap> macogw: nevermind...
[06:17] <johnjohn> slavik'lap: to give someone my email addy and thnks macogw will try that
[06:17] <w30> therealnanotube, It's x86_64 if I remember right
[06:17] <slavik`lap> Fezzler: I told you how to check. scroll up
[06:17] <FruitLoop> slavik`lap: alsa is not an option in sound recorder.
[06:17] <slavik`lap> FruitLoop: install audacity :)
[06:18] <macogw> slavik`lap: the updates thing?  they said the servers were missing security updates due to incompatibility with some hardware on newer drivers but that there were other problems like ssh and ftp
[06:18] <FruitLoop> slavik`lap: I have. that won't work either.
[06:18] <slavik`lap> johnjohn: /msg name messgae
[06:18] <slavik`lap> FruitLoop: did you mess with settings in audacity?
[06:18] <macogw> johnjohn: if you're not registered on the server, they wont get the message, by the way
[06:18] <FruitLoop> slavik`lap: yes.
[06:18] <johnjohn> slavik'lap thanks
[06:18] <zerokill88> johnjohn macogw is correct
[06:18] <slavik`lap> FruitLoop: for the recording source ... and nothing?>
[06:18] <johnjohn> macogw: and zerokill88: thanks
[06:19] <FruitLoop> slavik`lap: no. I just get an error.
[06:19] <slavik`lap> hmm, something is weird IMO
[06:19] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: which web site for the gnash, I gets all of the gnash sites..
[06:19] <patrick__>  cirrus, thanx now can I see both distros in either by mounting hd?
[06:19] <therealnanotube> w30: thanks... i wanted exact confirmation, but i guess that'll have to do. :)
[06:19] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, hold on
[06:19] <Fezzler> Slav: "see if there are too many dhcp clients in your router config stuff"  meaning "stuff" on Ubuntu or router config files?
[06:20] <saintberry> yo...
[06:20] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: okay im holding :)
[06:20] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[06:20] <johnjohn> well nite room
[06:20] <saintberry> can anyone help a linux nerd get a PCMCIA wireless card working? i didnt have the thing in during install...
[06:20] <slavik`lap> Fezzler: i SAID ROUTER, DIDN'T i?
[06:20] <saintberry> nerd should be n00b
[06:20] <slavik`lap> oops, sorry for caps
[06:21] <slavik`lap> didn't realise mycapslock was on
[06:21] <FruitLoop> slavik`lap: so.. what now?
[06:21] <genefitz> saintberry: which model of card?
[06:21] <Pelo> Fezzler, he means go in the router confugreation screen using firefox and see how many computers are connected to it ,  check your router's manual to see where you can check
[06:21] <winblows> why does my fstab have UUID=XXX for the device instead of the path to the the partition its on?
[06:21] <slavik`lap> FruitLoop: are there more clients than computers you have that use wifi?
[06:21] <Fezzler> slav: Hey, I said I was new to wireless.  How do I know that Ubuntu doesn't also have a config file for my router "stuff"
[06:21] <Fezzler> slav: sorry dud
[06:21] <saintberry> genefitz: netgear WAG511 v2
[06:21] <w30> therealnanotube, I got a 32 bit going at the moment, sorry
[06:22] <saintberry> i hear it "should just work"
[06:22] <therealnanotube> w30: thanks anyway :)
[06:22] <macogw> winblows: because ubuntu is silly
[06:22] <Pelo> winblows,  uuid is a way to id the partitons regardless of the boot order ofthe hdd
[06:22] <Fezzler> Pelo:  Thanks.  Plain english.  Very clear.
[06:22] <slavik`lap> Fezzler: and my system knows the config for someweird router in russia ...
[06:22] <Pelo> Fezzler,  I try
[06:22] <stdin> !uuid | winblows
[06:22] <ubotu> winblows: 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)
[06:22] <FruitLoop> slavik`lap: what? are you talking to the wrong person?
[06:22] <genefitz> saintberry, let me look real quick..
[06:22] <slavik`lap> FruitLoop: yes I was, sorry
[06:23] <saintberry> genefitz: cheers
[06:23] <macogw> Pelo: every other distro uses nodes.  the only thing i can think of where the UUID thing made sense was when libata switched to all sd* instead of IDEs being hd* and then the fstab wasnt wrong for IDE users
[06:23] <patrick__>  can I see both distros in either by mounting hd?
[06:23] <FruitLoop> Who here knows how to make mics record?
[06:25] <Pelo> macogw,  I was just giving a quck answer
[06:25] <boris55> I have a question about an ubuntu install. My friend says his install freezes when setting up graphcis.  What do I need to look at?  or can graphical be setup later.? Ubuntu 7.04
[06:25] <macogw> Pelo: so was i :)
[06:25] <macogw> Pelo: "ubuntu is silly"
[06:25] <macogw> Pelo: it does a lot of weird stuff
[06:25] <sSiroSoriSs> ubuntu!
[06:25] <sSiroSoriSs> ?
[06:26] <FruitLoop> Do you want fries with that?
[06:26] <Pelo> FruitLoop, in the terminal , type alsamixer  select capture at the top and make sure all he sliders are up and not muted

[06:30] <Punkunity> like do i have to dual boot or can i kinda dual boot and just sudo apt-get another os
[06:30] <macogw> Punkunity: oh...that....no
[06:30] <EvanR> Punkunity; vmware
[06:30] <macogw> Punkunity: you can run a virtual machine in virtual box
[06:30] <Journeyman> why hasn't pidgin been added to the repository?
[06:30] <PwcrLinux> Pelo: okay, can I download to the desktop or in the hard drive?
[06:30] <Punkunity> what is vmware
[06:30] <macogw> Journeyman: because updates are for security only
[06:30] <winblows> where is menu.lst? is this a grub file?
[06:30] <Pelo> PwcrLinux, to the desktop
[06:30] <macogw> winblows: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:30] <PwcrLinux> pelo: okay
[06:31] <macogw> Journeyman: security and bug fixes, but not for adding features.  with features comes instability
[06:31] <nugod> Punkunity: that would be pretty impressive... apt-get install solaris-10

[06:31] <Punkunity> nugod im talkin more like a mac spoof like darwin, or something exotic of linux
[06:32] <macogw> Journeyman: because nobody's bothered.  backports are rare.  you can get pdigin 2.1 from getdeb.net or from debuntu.org

[06:33] <genefitz> saintberry, have you tried ndiswrapper? Looking at some notes it says that both the china and taiwan versions work in breezy, dapper and edgy with ndiswrapper
[06:33] <Punkunity> krillin and everyone thanks i htink this is what im looking for
[06:34] <telexicon> Why wont mount -t cifs ask me for a password when i specify -o username=foo ? Normally it does, but for some reason it simply will not ask for a password (i refuse to type it on the command line or put it in files)... anyways.. i cant mount any windows file shares because of it
[06:34] <saintberry> genefitz: nah i haven't dont really know what im doing - do i just run the command. ill do some google searching for ndiswraper
[06:34] <krillin> Punkunity: huh?
[06:35] <genefitz> saintberry, ndiswrapper should get you up and going with the windows driver
[06:35] <Punkunity> nm
[06:35] <saintberry> genefitz: ahh ok - is that the best option?
[06:35] <krillin> which virtualization tool would you all recommend for the average desktop user who wants to play with a bunch of other operating systems without rebooting? vmware? virtualbox? qemu? kvm (i don't even really know much about kvm)?

[06:39] <demonspork> What options do I an to an fstab line to give a specific user full read/write privileges?
[06:39] <krillin> HugLeo: why virtual box over qemu? and is kvm a usable tool, or is it just a kernel thing that programs can access?
[06:40] <hph> Hey when i try to live boot ubuntu, i get to the part with the logo and the little loading bar, then it gets past that point, the screen goes black, and then nothing happens. I let my computer sit at that screen for about an hour and nothing ever happened. anyone help?
[06:40] <Shaddox> Hello everyone. How do I get the sensors and CPU graphs and all that on my Gnome-panel?
[06:40] <krillin> HugLeo: for that matter, why virtual box over any of the others? VMWare, etc?
[06:40] <GNine> i can finally connect to my workgroup (network). however, it is also listing those same network puters outside of the workgroup. is that necessary?
[06:40] <genefitz> hph: you thik it may have been a bad burn?
[06:40] <winblows> in my menu.lst where it says root, what should be there? i see an example with (hd0,0) but all my devices are sda or sdb with partions on those... how should my entry look like?
[06:40] <hph> 3rd burn
[06:40] <hph> :|
[06:40] <zerokill88> shaddox what do you mean by sensors?
[06:40] <HugLeo> krillin: stable enough to me

[06:41] <genefitz> hph: what architecture are you running?
[06:41] <hph> 64 bit. im trying to run the 64 bit version
[06:41] <Punkunity> hph the disk might be burnt bad it happened to me a few times
[06:41] <krillin> HugLeo: how does it compare to the others? in your opinion?
[06:41] <hph> this also happened with a shipped CD of ubuntu
[06:41] <Punkunity> do the whole checksum thing
[06:41] <Punkunity> o
[06:41] <genefitz> hph: I know this is going to seem like a dumb question, but I have to ask, Are you running AMD 64, 64 x2, or EM64T?
[06:41] <hph> amd 64
[06:42] <fopascual> hello
[06:42] <genefitz> hph, have you tried loading the 32 bit version?

[06:42] <HugLeo> krillin: To me is better than Qemu but I'm not testing VMWare
[06:42] <hph> the disc i got in the mail was 32 bit
[06:42] <genefitz> same problem?
[06:42] <hph> didnt work
[06:42] <hph> yah
[06:42] <hph> same problem.
[06:42] <hph> then i burned the 64 bit and the 32 bit and same problem
[06:42] <genefitz> Hmmm, It may be a computer issue, tell me about your computer, Got the specs?
[06:42] <hph> one sec
[06:43] <hph> whats the quickest way to get that all together?
[06:44] <GNine> i havent been able to successfully burn an iso copy of ubuntu either.. at least u (hph) get a boot screen .. my burns show nothing but an empty disc
[06:44] <genefitz> hph, just the basics, computer type, processor, ram, hdd, etc..
[06:44] <hph> want my dxdiag file?
[06:44] <krillin> HugLeo: this is nuts: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox . what's something easier that doesn't mess up my system with extra crap as much? qemu looked pretty disasterous as well
[06:44] <genefitz> HPH, that should't be needed.

[06:45] <hph> yah
[06:45] <genefitz> What all have you tried?
[06:45] <hph> i tried linspire
[06:45] <hph> same problem
[06:45] <hph> right before it boots
[06:46] <hph> screen goes black
[06:46] <beg1689> rejoice, ubuntu has aided in converting yet another friend to linux
[06:46] <hph> not me yet :\
[06:46] <GNine> lol
[06:47] <Shaddox> How can I get the sensors like this on my Gnome-panel? http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/6132/schermafdruk2mh5.png
[06:47] <hph> ive been going through this problem for about 4 months now. I've tried every now and then. nothing works though
[06:47] <beg1689> what seems to be the issue?
[06:47] <GNine> almost done converting 3gigs of music to ogg
[06:47] <HugLeo> krillin: Windows XP  quickly in my system both qemu and virtual box
[06:47] <andre_pl> hph, is that a laptop? what brand/model?
[06:47] <genefitz> hph, it seems to be a ubuntu issue with your computer. I had thje same problems. First getting it loaded and then keeping it right (especially with 1440 x 900 resolution)
[06:47] <hph> self built
[06:48] <beg1689> GNine, does that make them lose quality? if you go from mp3 to pgg?
[06:48] <hph> so what do you suggest I do?
[06:48] <beg1689> ogg*
[06:48] <hph> also, I've run a disc I've burned on a different computer
[06:48] <genefitz> If I may be so bold as to say maybe the distro is just not agreeing with something in your computer, maybe the mobo settings.
[06:48] <hph> so it has to be my pc
[06:48] <hph> what should i change?
[06:48] <beg1689> i mean, when i rip cds i always do ogg, but i didnt bother converting my mp3s
[06:48] <GNine> not anything a human ear could detect as quality loss
[06:48] <genefitz> You may want to look at something like Fedora or OpenSuse
[06:48] <hph> whats the difference?
[06:49] <beg1689> ubuntu loves my laptop
[06:49] <hph> i'm looking for a beginner level linex distro. ive been on windows my whole life
[06:49] <EvanR> GNine; converting from mp3 to ogg may introduce noticable loss
[06:49] <GNine> whatever
[06:49] <Punkunity> whats the main different uses or preferences between somehting like fedoraVs ubuntu or ubuntu vs openBSD??
[06:49] <andre_pl> I've got a 7600 GO in my laptop at 1440x900 and every ubuntu since dapper has had no problems.
[06:49] <EvanR> GNine; then again, i can never tell anyway
[06:49] <popt> how to add a exit user to a exit group from the command line
[06:49] <beg1689> hph: ubuntu should be fine, seems you just got that 0.1% of hardware that doesnt like it
[06:49] <hph> well maybe its sli?
[06:49] <demonspork> What options do I add to an fstab line to give a specific user full read/write privileges to the partition?
[06:49] <GNine> maybe u need to upgrade ur sound drivers or sumthing
[06:49] <Punkunity> or ubuntu vs, opensuse, or vs darwin
[06:49] <hph> i have 2 vite cards.
[06:49] <hph> video*
[06:49] <hph> possible SLI issue?
[06:49] <genefitz> hph: linux is linux, the difference is primarily in the way programs are loaded.. I had to use Fedora, But I like Ubuntu as well. I just can't run it on my system.
[06:50] <beg1689> have you tried removing SLI?
[06:50] <beg1689> i dont think that would be an issue
[06:50] <winblows> after i edit grub's menu.lst do i need to do anything to make it know my changes or could i just reboot?
[06:50] <Shaddox> Punkunity: Darwin is the UNIX core of the Macintosh OS X. Not an official Linux distro, but a Macintosh one.
[06:50] <beg1689> but you could always check
[06:50] <genefitz> hph, that may be.. hold on, and let me look..
[06:50] <hph> not yet, but it doesnt seem like its something that would make a difference
[06:50] <Punkunity> i thought so shaddox but u see where i was getting
[06:50] <beg1689> it doesnt, the newest drivers should have no issues
[06:50] <Arafangion> Punkunity, hph The different distros differ in the way they automate hardware detection and useage, how they manage applications and settings, and of course, they are maintained by different people.
[06:50] <krammer> why does it take so long to enter a forum for yahoo???
[06:50] <hph> :|
[06:50] <beg1689> Shaddox: rephrase your question you asked earlier?
[06:51] <Punkunity> well which is the best at utilizing video games and video multimedia stuff
[06:51] <Arafangion> krammer: Ask Yahoo!.
[06:51] <hph> the problem is, i can't even get to the point where i can download and install drivers
[06:51] <krammer> lol
[06:51] <Shaddox> beg1689: I see these sensors in a screenshot of Ubuntu Feisty, how do I get these sensors on my own panel? I could really use them. Screenshot: http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/6132/schermafdruk2mh5.png
[06:51] <arooni> hello my special friends
[06:51] <beg1689> Shaddox: nvm, i see what you mean, those are panel applets
[06:51] <Shaddox> beg1689: Where do I get them?
[06:51] <Punkunity> i mean i use ubuntu feisty right now because while trying to dual boot from xp to ubuntu i somehow anihilated windows alltogether and im left with fesity
[06:52] <beg1689> Shaddox: im not running gnome atm i dont remember exactly what to press to add them to your bar, perhaps someone here can shed some lite?
[06:52] <beg1689> Shaddox: i think its quite simple
[06:52] <Shaddox> Where can I get Gnome Panel applets?
[06:52] <hph> anyone have any suggestions? or should i just try fedora
[06:52] <krammer> Free you rMind
[06:52] <genefitz> hph, I am searching the wikis, and I am not seeing anything..
[06:52] <arooni> i recently installed 7.04 on a thinkpad t61.  i had to use the alternate cd install because the graphics were messed up.  i got output, b ut its this wierd interlaced thing and I can't make out anything! ;(.  it has an intel x3100 (965) chipset integrated video card.... any suggestions on how to get the video working?
[06:52] <beg1689> Shaddox: do you already know how to add them to your panel?
[06:52] <FruitLoop> Pelo: I found I can get Audacity to record from the mic if I set the recording source device to OSS/dev/dsp1 instead of one of the alsa things. I still can't get sound recorder to work though.
[06:52] <Arafangion> arooni: At what resolution?
[06:52] <bulmer> does anyone know how to get a second ip address for an interface?..for example eth0:0 (an alias) needs an ip addres
[06:53] <Arafangion> arooni: And do you care about 3D acceleration?
[06:53] <Pelo> FruitLoop, congradulations on your initiative, I wish they were all lke you
[06:53] <ari_stress> bulmer: ip addr add 192.168.0.200/24 dev eth0
[06:53] <arooni> Arafangion: resolution of lcd is 1440x900 ... and yes i would prefer 3d accelaration... but right now is my focus on seeing something i can use
[06:53] <Shaddox> beg1689: I know how to add applets, just not where to find new ones I don't have.
[06:53] <krammer> you can't bulmer
[06:53] <beg1689> ok
[06:53] <beg1689> Shaddox: open up synaptic, and search for "applet"
[06:53] <bulmer> ari_stress: thats setting it as static..i need a dhcp assigned
[06:53] <pvl> fruitloop which way did you change it
[06:53] <beg1689> Shaddox: just look for the ones that say GNOME in the description
[06:53] <Arafangion> arooni: I was goign to suggest just trying vesa, but that's going to be very suboptimal when your native reso is higher than 1024x768.
[06:53] <genefitz> Pelo: lol, it happens
[06:54] <GNine> ubuntu 7.04 detected my integrated (outdated) intel graphicshit  by default.. my struggle was to learn how to tell linux not to look at it
[06:54] <Pelo> genefitz, not like this one
[06:54] <bulmer> krammer the alias interface is relegated to static ip address assignment only?
[06:54] <ari_stress> bulmer: i believe dhcp cannot offer 2nd ip addr
[06:54] <beg1689> Shaddox: try installing gnome-applets if you havent already
[06:54] <krammer> yes
[06:54] <YoDaddeh> I am trying to install ubuntu on my spare pc but the live cd part is not booting. It has given me a gnome error once and the other times it just hangs
[06:54] <FruitLoop> pvl: I changed recording device in Audacity to OSS/dev/dsp1 and the mic started working....
[06:54] <arooni> Arafangion: well its a start.... so you're saying edit the xorg.conf file?  and choose vesa + 1024x768?  doesn't it support a higher res?
[06:54] <hph> what's the difference between fedora rawhide, fedora 7, and fedora 8?
[06:54] <bulmer> okay thanks..
[06:55] <pvl> fruitloop ok ty i will try it. i have a huge problem with my microphone recording
[06:55] <Arafangion> arooni: Well, vesa's practically one of the original, and very slow graphics modes, all cards work with it.
[06:55] <genefitz> Pelo: I always use the excuse "I am just a nub myself, I just have a good wiki-search ethic"
[06:55] <YoDaddeh> I am trying to install ubuntu on my spare pc but the live cd part is not booting. It has given me a gnome error once and the other times it just hangs
[06:55] <ari_stress> hph: very funny. go ask in #fedora
[06:55] <hph> ?
[06:55] <hph> im serious...
[06:55] <hph> :(
[06:55] <krammer> yodaddeh what is the error message
[06:55] <hph> i just asked a question and was told to try fedora instead
[06:55] <bulmer> YoDaddeh: get the alternative cd
[06:55] <Arafangion> hph: There's no way we would know.  Why don't you ask MS what's the difference between Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, and Mac OS 10.2
[06:56] <GNine> dhcp is automatic which is good if u dont have much experience networking.. ur router (if you have one) should tell dhcp everything
[06:56] <genefitz> hph: fedora 8 is not stable yet, rawhide is a live CD and fedora 7 is the current stable release
[06:56] <FruitLoop> i don't know why alsa recording doesn't work for my mic.. i guess it just hates me.
[06:56] <YoDaddeh> I've also noticed its been running rather sluggish. I just bought a new processor for it because I broke the old one. Any ideas on this?
[06:56] <arooni> anyone know how to jump into text login/startup?  when i do control+alt+f1... i jsut get a blank screen that's dark
[06:56] <Arafangion> YoDaddeh: How'd you manage to break the old one?
[06:56] <Pelo> YoDaddeh,  what video card ? ati and nvidia donT' make FOSS drivers so they are not part of the live cd , you might hve to use the alternate install cd which is text based and install the drivers afterwarrd
[06:56] <Arafangion> Pelo: An intel integrated one.
[06:57] <YoDaddeh> no video card Pelo, onboard graphics
[06:57] <YoDaddeh> Arafangion: I broke the pin because it quit working (on accident)
[06:57] <Pelo> Arafangion, sorry, it,s getting late, and I lose track easily
[06:57] <Arafangion> YoDaddeh: And how'd you manage that?
[06:57] <Arafangion> Pelo: It was a while ago.
[06:57] <Pelo> ic
[06:57] <YoDaddeh> Arafangion: the computer didn't post
[06:58] <Arafangion> Pelo: Still, why doesn't the default installer allow those cards?  (Not even with the free nv driver)
[06:58] <YoDaddeh> Arafangion: I thought it was the processor so I took it off and one of the pins was bent so I went to bend it back and it broke off
[06:58] <krammer> did u configure ur bios yaoddeh?
[06:58] <miked595> sup channel
[06:58] <GNine> u guys talk like you have to do everything manually..  ubuntu installation didnt seem to be so difficult to me
[06:58] <Arafangion> YoDaddeh: And what made you think it was the processor?
[06:58] <YoDaddeh> krammer: Yeah pretty much so: I think it might not be configured right
[06:59] <Arafangion> GNine: Some of us are used to the old way of doing things.
[06:59] <Pelo> Arafangion, the free nv driver is not FOSS , ie open source as I recall , it is still restricted, and ubuntu is suppose to be FOSS all the way
[06:59] <GNine> if u still got windows running .. use Wubi to install ubuntu
[06:59] <YoDaddeh> Arafangion: Dunno It just wouldn't post and I was anxious to get it working again
[06:59] <miked595> any one know how to get ldap workin with postfix?
[06:59] <krammer> try to config cd first
[07:00] <beg1689> nah i love having the nice restricted drivers now
[07:00] <popt> how to add a exit user to a exit group from the command line?
[07:00] <beg1689> when i first installed 7.04, booted up the livecd and had intel wifi and nvidia 3d working, so sweet
[07:00] <NETWizz> I have Ldap Working at Work
[07:00] <miked595> NETWizz: you got it workin wit postfix?
[07:00] <NETWizz> However, we use Novell SLED 10.2 Desktops
[07:00] <popt> groupadd username ? groupname?
[07:00] <genefitz> Arafangion, due to legal issues, ubuntu can not pre-install any proprietary software, it is kind of the "we can make it available, but can not be held liable for any royaly fees or any of that, but if you really want it, you can get it... here"
[07:00] <miked595> NETWizz: doh
[07:01] <Arafangion> genefitz: Seems free enough for Debian.
[07:01] <NETWizz> All we can do is login and use it for authentication
[07:01] <genefitz> The same goes for MP3, Flash, etc..
[07:01] <NETWizz> i.e. I type my name and password
[07:01] <beg1689> :O
[07:01] <miked595> NETWizz:  all you need it to do right... ehe
[07:01] <beg1689> =-O
[07:01] <NETWizz> Yes, that is all I need it to do
[07:01] <beg1689> meh. use both
[07:01] <NETWizz> It works with eDirectory
[07:02] <Arafangion> {alicia}: Depends.  If your windows setup is working perfectly for you, then go ahead and keep using it. Don't fix what ain't broken. Otherwise... Use Ubuntu. :)
[07:02] <NETWizz> I tried pushing Ubuntu, but the bosses like SLED
[07:02] <{alicia}> what is so great about ubuntu anyway
[07:02] <genefitz> Arafangion, I don't know about Debian, I know Mepis has the option to "opt-in" but I think they have a deal or something for 3-D KDE
[07:02] <beg1689> i have ubuntu and XP which im sure quite a few people do (though i havent booted XP in 3 months, hope it still works ;)
[07:02] <NETWizz> If it doesn't come in a box by Novell or Microsoft...
[07:02] <Arafangion> genefitz: The nv drivers do not handle 3D.
[07:03] <inquirer> looking to get postfix working on ubuntu (or any debian based distro for that matter) - hangup is that postfix seems to require 'mailacceptinggeneralid' defined in a schema. i think the problem is using the newer version 3 ldap
[07:03] <miked595> no LDAP pros in this channel?
[07:03] <genefitz> Arafangion: correct, nv and Vesa don't do 3-d. you have to install the proprietary drivers for that option
[07:03] <Arafangion> genefitz: Back to my original question...
[07:03] <Arafangion> Pelo: Still, why doesn't the default installer allow those cards?  (Not even with the free nv driver)
[07:04] <Pelo> {alicia},  you can try ubuntu without installing buy booting the live cd , if you do not like it your cmputer will be unaffected andyou can go back to the hell that is windows
[07:04] <Arafangion> genefitz: Still, why doesn't the default installer allow those cards?  (Not even with the free nv driver)
[07:04] <Pelo> Arafangion, call Mark and ask him
[07:04] <Arafangion> Pelo: He's too cool to listen to me. :)
[07:04] <genefitz> Arafangion, that would be more of a question for the Ubuntu folks. I'm sorry, I don't have the answer.
[07:05] <demonspork> Bend over and crack a smile :)
[07:05] <genefitz> the only reason I can give is that there are legal issues involved in proprietary software and drivers.. The standard linux answer..
[07:05] <GNine> most problems with installing ubuntu come from video pci addresses vs integrated chips detection; x desktop not configured properly for the right card; and finally, incorrect monitor settings chosen
[07:05] <GNine> or somthing like that
[07:05] <Arafangion> genefitz: But the nv driver is NOT proprietary. I think it's even part of xorg.
[07:06] <FuLio> what program can  i use to download music on ubuntu?
[07:06] <Arafangion> genefitz: The NVidia driver, sure, but I'm not talking about the NVidia driver, but the nv driver.
[07:06] <genefitz> Arafangion, every time I loaded any distro, it loaded with either Vesa or nv
[07:06] <c4ndY_61rL> hi
[07:06] <GNine> and u have to ENABLE whatever drivers u tell linux to use
[07:07] <GNine> all in a days work
[07:07] <genefitz> In Ubuntu, I had to tell it to install the Nvidia drivers, or just leave it with the nv driver
[07:07] <GFree> hey guys, I've got a spot of bother here...
[07:07] <Arafangion> genefitz: So it does allow you to use that card, you don't need to use the alternative CD?
[07:08] <genefitz> But again, that would be a question for the Ubuntu folks.. I didn't design it, I just use it :-)
[07:08] <GFree> when I'm running Compiz Fusion, a couple of programs don't render window decorations, while most others do. what's up with that?
[07:08] <GNine> excuse me.. but i used nv ... which is short for nvidia?  lol.. maybe i just hacked my way with it
[07:08] <genefitz> Arafangion, nope, I use the standard graphical live CD to install
[07:08] <GFree> emerald's running, it's just a few specifc progs
[07:08] <FuLio> Hi, can someone help me, im having a Fail to start the x server.
[07:08] <Pelo> g'night folks
[07:09] <buntunub> will beryl/compiz run with the nv driver?
[07:09] <Arafangion> GNine: There are two drivers, one is free, but doesn't have 3D acceleration. The other is proprietary and is barely legal, and can't be included in a default distro.
[07:09] <GNine> roger that
[07:09] <Arafangion> buntunub: Pittifully slowly, sure.
[07:09] <FuLio> Hi, can someone help me, im having a Fail to start the x server.
[07:09] <genefitz> Arafangion, I am not the best example though, I mean, no matter what, I have to re-configure my xorg after install, because of my monitor (Acer AL1916W) 1440 x 900
[07:09] <buntunub> nvidia provides drivers for linux but the firmware is closed i believe
[07:10] <buntunub> many distros preload them for users
[07:10] <buntunub> pclos, sabayon, mepis, etc etc etc
[07:10] <genefitz> buntunub, some do..
[07:10] <buntunub> many do and more each release
[07:11] <GNine> during the install (or during config of XORG thru sudo command) u can choose what resolutions u want to have available.. me, i know my monitor real good
[07:11] <FuLio> When i read the error it says "The interrupt for NVIDIA graphics device pci0 5 0 appeears to be edge triggered/ please see chapter 8 common problems.
[07:11] <genefitz> I don't mind loading the drivers for my video card though
[07:11] <FuLio>  i useed the envy to install the nvidia drivers.
[07:11] <Arafangion> buntunub: The question is how close to the line you want to be - it's not legal, but it /might/ not be illegal either.
[07:11] <Arafangion> buntunub: But it's perfectly legal for each user to download and add it themselves.
[07:12] <buntunub> well anyway ubuntu does provide loading of nvidia drivers on first install
[07:12] <GNine> thats a common problem alright... not
[07:12] <GuHhH> can anyone help me with clamav + amavis + spamassassin intregation on postfix?
[07:12] <Arafangion> GuHhH: Try the postfix website.
[07:12] <w30> How do I get gnome window manager to work in VNC? All I can get is a blank screen with a X for a mouse pointer.  What do I need in the xstartup file?
[07:12] <genefitz> Arafangion, exactly.
[07:12] <lynn> eek autoconnecting to ubuntu help chans
[07:13] <lynn> morning btw
[07:13] <genefitz> Arafangion, the whole deal is that by doing it the way they do it, they free themselves from any liability in the issues
[07:13] <Wood> hello?
[07:13] <Arafangion> genefitz: You keep seeming to utterly ignore /which/ driver I"m talking about. Makes for a very confusing convo on your end.
[07:13] <buntunub> honestly i dont see the problem with allowing people who have bought and paid for an nvidia card to load the drivers they need
[07:13] <cinTya> low
[07:13] <Arafangion> buntunub: Yeah, tell that to NVidia.
[07:13] <buntunub> seems pretty stupid to prevent them from doing so after they paid for the rights
[07:14] <genefitz> arafangion, I am not sure the stipulations on the nv driver, Ubuntu always loaded the nv driver during install for me..
[07:14] <Punkunity> hey im about to use ubuntu ultimate 1.4 VM for Vmware, and this web page says i can "upgrade" to it, is this true?? will i keeop all my files ands settings and just upgrade to that??
[07:14] <Punkunity> http://www.tuxdistro.com/torrents-details.php?id=398
[07:14] <Arafangion> genefitz: And so my point was, since Ubuntu "always loaded the nv driver during install for me", you DO NOT need the "alternate cd", because the normal CD supports it just fine.
[07:14] <GNine> i got my nvidia install disc.. it dont work on linux.. but am doind alright with the current set up
[07:14] <genefitz> At least I believe it was the nv driver, I always loaded the nVidia driver shortly after install
[07:14] <Punkunity> anyone know if i can keep all my files and just update??
[07:14] <Arafangion> genefitz: Yup.
[07:15] <Punkunity> http://www.tuxdistro.com/torrents-details.php?id=398
[07:15] <genefitz> Arafangion, yes.
[07:15] <pyrohotdog> I'm trying to write my rcfile for joy2key, what are the sancodes for the PageUp/down, home, end, delete keys?
[07:15] <pyrohotdog> *scancodes
[07:16] <buntunub> GNine just allow ubuntu to load your driver on first boot
[07:16] <genefitz> I have never had to use an alternate install CD for Ubuntu..
[07:16] <GNine> like is said.. i dont have a graphics issue..  but thanks for ur input
[07:16] <buntunub> you dont put a disc in or anything like that ubuntu will do it all for you
[07:16] <demonspork> What would I add to an fstab line to grant me full read/write access to the partition when it is mount
[07:17] <Arafangion> genefitz: But that's exactly what people here seem to suggest that you require, you must've also ignored the context in which the convo started, making it even more confusing for you. :)
[07:17] <foxgamer> Hi all. Could someone help me. My firefox browser has crashed and I've forgotten the command to bring up the list of PID's to kill it off.
[07:17] <genefitz> Arafangion: I am sorry, I must have missed that.
[07:17] <genefitz> My bad..
[07:17] <Arafangion> genefitz: No problem, we've all done that :)
[07:17] <krillin> foxgamer: ps ax | grep firefox
[07:18] <foxgamer> Thank you krillin
[07:18] <demonspork> foxgamer -- ps ax
[07:18] <demonspork> foxgamer, or you could go to System > Administration > System Monitor
[07:19] <w30> foxgamer, killall firefox
[07:19] <foxgamer> Thank you demonspork. I keep forgetting that. lol
[07:19] <foxgamer> Whoa! I didn't realise there were so many ways to do the same job!
[07:19] <jonathan_> somebody help me please
[07:19] <jonathan_> my partition error
[07:20] <beg1689> i just right click the close button ont he top right of the window
[07:20] <jonathan_> data partition
[07:20] <beg1689> asks me to kill it from there
[07:20] <jonathan_> help me plz
[07:20] <jonathan_> my ubuntu can't read my data partition
[07:20] <floppyears> hi, I'm trying to install the nvidia binary drivers in ubuntu feisty, and right now my machine is crashed
[07:20] <beg1689> jonathan, gonna need more details
[07:20] <floppyears> I can barely ssh into it
[07:20] <floppyears> how can I make it reboot and not start X ?
[07:20] <beg1689> floppyears
[07:21] <jonathan_> when I'm restart my ubuntu
[07:21] <numus> how do i get the harddrive to show on my desktop
[07:21] <beg1689> has it really crashed? can you press ctrl + alt+ f1 and get to a console?
[07:21] <beg1689> jonathan_ what is a "data partition"?
[07:21] <Punkunity> i wanna upgrade to ubuntu ultimate im not finding any info all that useful....do i still have to burn an iSO image most peole say no
[07:21] <jonathan_> my one of my ubuntu can't read my ntfs partition
[07:21] <Punkunity> but i cant seem to just upgrade
[07:21] <beg1689> jonathan_ there you go, much better
[07:22] <floppyears> beg1689: no, I can't do anything
[07:22] <jonathan_> ubuntu can't read my ntfs partition
[07:22] <Flannel> Punkunity: you don't want to upgrade to ubuntu ultimate.  It's not an upgrade anyway.
[07:22] <beg1689> floppyears: if im not mistaken, i thought feisty included the binary drivers for nvidia?
[07:22] <beg1689> i had 3d working right off the live cd
[07:22] <floppyears> no, it didn't for me :(
[07:23] <lynn> jonathan_, have you tried to manually mount this partition? any error messages?
[07:23] <genefitz> Punkunity, I am not sure about "upgrading" but I think you may be able to add the repos..
[07:23] <Punkunity> Flannel, why it says its an upgraded feisty and i t looks cool, but i want to keep all my settings and be able to downgrade back to fesity again
[07:23] <beg1689> did you look for a little icon in the system tray? it should say restricted driver manager
[07:23] <jonathan_> yes
[07:23] <Punkunity> http://ubuntusoftware.info/Ubuntu_Ultimate_1.4/
[07:23] <jonathan_> I got error
[07:23] <beg1689> for me it was there, but unchecked, i just clicked the checkmark and tada! 3d
[07:23] <lynn> and the error being... ?
[07:24] <jonathan_> when I'm clicked files at /media/data
[07:24] <jonathan_> I can't find any folder
[07:24] <Flannel> Punkunity: because the people who made it are making that claim.  There's no substantiated anything to make it true.  All it is is some guy who took Ubuntu, and installed some stuff from the repos by default.  There's literally nothing `upgraded` about it
[07:24] <teKnofreak> is there a way to invoke the restricted driver management from command line ?
[07:24] <lynn> can you open a console?
[07:24] <lynn> like gnome terminal or xterm?
[07:24] <jonathan_> and there is no ntfs patition icon on my desktop
[07:24] <Flannel> Punkunity: if you were going to make a linux distro, you would claim it's "the bested most awesomest" too.  That doesn't make it true.
[07:24] <jonathan_> yes
[07:25] <Punkunity> ok Flannel then i'll give up but i still dont know how to use VMWare Player thing, i cant seem to get os'
[07:25] <lynn> issue "mount" and see if /media/data is there
[07:25] <jonathan_> already opened the terminal
[07:25] <allbert> os[Linux 2.6.22-9-generic i686]  distro[Debian lenny/sid]  cpu[1 x Pentium III (Coppermine) @ 798MHz]  mem[Physical : 249MB, 44.6% free]  disk[Total : 4.64GB, 31.10% Free]  video[nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] ]  sound[] 
[07:25] <genefitz> Punkunity, I wouldn't suggest yo install Ultimate 1.4, but adding the repos may be an option
[07:25] <Punkunity> http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/cat/45/rating+desc
[07:26] <lynn> any luck?
[07:26] <Punkunity> what would adding the repos do?? and how do i do that genefitz
[07:26] <jonathan_> what should I do now?
[07:26] <jonathan_> there is nothing inside data folder
[07:26] <demonspork> What would I add to an fstab line to grant me full read/write access to the partition when it is mounted?
[07:26] <rockets> Who's using regular XChat here (not xchat gnome). Anybody experience a bug where the tray icon sometimes goes into a little window/
[07:26] <rockets> ?
[07:26] <jonathan_> and computer:/// can't find any ntfs partition
[07:26] <genefitz> Punkunity, now I am not suggestion you do it, but adding the repos may give you access to the programs offered in the version http://repoubuntusoftware.info/
[07:26] <jonathan_> I'm using 3 hdd, 1 for windows xp, ubuntu, and data
[07:26] <lynn> jonathan_, when you type "mount" , is the ntfs partition listed?
[07:27] <thedash> hmm, I can't quite figure this out; I have a line that works in the terminal, but when I try to create a launcher with that command, it doesn't do anything
[07:27] <teKnofreak> rockets, for me, the xchat sometimes closes when i try to click the icon on the system tray to minimize maximize it
[07:27] <demonspork> thedash, what is the line?
[07:27] <Punkunity> genefitz, is it going to F everything up
[07:27] <rockets> teKnofreak, yeah.
[07:27] <thedash> /usr/bin/vncviewer -passwd ~/.vnc/passwd 192.168.2.20:0.0
[07:28] <jonathan_> http://pastebin.ca/660681
[07:28] <genefitz> Punkunity, I don't know, I have never used the distro or the repos for it..
[07:28] <Error_> how do i know if im connected to the internet?
[07:28] <genefitz> The site says no, but again, a 50/50
[07:28] <GNine> why to want linux read into an ntfs partition..  dont mind me
[07:28] <jonathan_> I check the bios and there is nothing wrong
[07:28] <teKnofreak> Error_, ping google.com in the terminal
[07:28] <sauvin> My ubuntu has just decided, when I turned on the computer, that it needs to check /dev/hda2 because it's been mounted 32 times without being checked. This is unacceptable. How to change the frequency of forced checks?
[07:28] <thedash> demonspork :: that doesn't really matter though, it works in the terminal fine
[07:28] <Error_> teKnofreak: i was being sarcastic :/
[07:29] <demonspork> thedash, what all is it supposed to do for you
[07:29] <rockets> teKnofreak, i wonder if xchat-gnome is any better
[07:29] <genefitz> Punkunity, installing anything from other repos than the distro's native are not supported and honestly not suggested
[07:29] <Error_> thx though lol
[07:29] <sauvin> xchat-gnome is a dog.
[07:29] <Punkunity> genefitz, too late hahaa
[07:29] <thedash> demonspork :: it's supposed to open the vncviewer program to that IP address, with the password in the file
[07:29] <genefitz> It is your choice of what is "worth the risk"
[07:29] <demonspork> thedash, should it initialize a vncviewer window?
[07:29] <thedash> demonspork :: yeh, basically
[07:29] <fir3dup> ei
[07:29] <GNine> unacceptable is to reboot 20 times in a row looking for a penguin
[07:29] <fir3dup> can help me
[07:30] <lynn> jonathan_, it is not mounted, try "cat /proc/partitions" and find out if it's in there
[07:30] <sauvin> Unacceptable is to mount more than (say) eight times without a check.
[07:31] <NETWizz> I am instlaling suse

[07:31] <jonathan_> http://pastebin.ca/660684
[07:31] <jonathan_> there
[07:31] <rockets> teKnofreak, hmm there are some xchat replacements like lostirc. not quit the same though
[07:31] <genefitz> NETWizz, okay..
[07:31] <krillin> NETWizz: ah, that makes #ubuntu the perfect channel to ask opensuse questions, right? </sarcasm>
[07:31] <demonspork> thedash, ok, when you go to make the launcher, the first option says "Type: Application"
[07:31] <jonathan_> check this line http://pastebin.ca/660684
[07:31] <lynn> NETWizz, yuck rpm
[07:31] <teKnofreak> rockets, try irssi :P
[07:31] <NETWizz> You didn't open your sarcasm properly
[07:31] <demonspork> thedash, simply change that to "Application in Terminal"
[07:31] <rockets> teKnofreak, no.
[07:32] <NETWizz> I don't have a question
[07:32] <thedash> demonspork :: I tried that, it opens the terminal and closes it immediately
[07:32] <NETWizz> Except, what is wrong with RPM?
[07:32] <krillin> go away troll
[07:32] <lynn> jonathan_, now it's for you to find out which one is which, since I can't know your exact partition schema

[07:33] <justinb> anyone got time to help a newb?
[07:33] <NETWizz> I run Ubuntu most of the time
[07:33] <NETWizz> However, I have never cried wolf or Troll in an IRC channel
[07:33] <Award> I know in Debian some time ago this was sort of a shaky question but under Feisty Server, is hot-swap of SATA drives (RAID 5) supported?
[07:34] <sauvin> I suspect most package managers are going to be "dependency hell".
[07:34] <lynn> nm NETWizz
[07:34] <demonspork> thedash, I don't understand it fully, but some applications require a terminal to run
[07:34] <NETWizz> nm?
[07:34] <lynn> never mind
[07:34] <thedash> demonspork :: regardless, it doesn't run either way
[07:34] <teKnofreak> never mind
[07:34] <GuHhH> gustavo
[07:34] <thoreauputic> macd: why did you call the ops?
[07:34] <NETWizz> I am only trying Suse becuase we use it at work
[07:34] <NETWizz> We use Open Enterprise Server (Novell)
[07:34] <macd> b/c all this needs to be in offtopic.
[07:34] <elkbuntu> NETWizz, please discuss suse in #suse
[07:34] <teKnofreak> NETWizz, nobody objects to that
[07:35] <demonspork> thedash, so the vncviewer isn't working even when run from a terminal?
[07:35] <lynn> trying things won't hurt, i agree
[07:35] <teKnofreak> just dont troll here
[07:35] <macd> and that ^^
[07:35] <genefitz> NETWizz, fron what I understand OpenSuse is a great Distro. I don't use it but I know some who swear by it..
[07:35] <thoreauputic> agreed - other distros etc. ---> -offtopic
[07:35] <Punkunity> my beryl doesnt seem to work anymore, is it because i turned the HyperThreading off?? i cllick on beryl for the window manager and my screen flashes
[07:35] <thedash> demonspork :: it works when I run it from a terminal, yes, but it doesn't work at all when run from the launcher, terminal or no
[07:35] <thoreauputic> last warning
[07:35] <Punkunity> and then it goes ok again and i still cnat use beryl just compiz and gmoe
[07:36] <arooni> anyone know how to get video working on the t61 (intel x3100).... i can't make it work at all..... and i've already tried stuff on: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.04_%28Feisty_Fawn%29_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#Intel_Graphics_Media_Accelerator_X3100_.28Chipset_GM965.29_.28Solved.29
[07:36] <lynn> jonathan_, still there?
[07:36] <macd> Punkunity, chances are hyperthreading turned off has nothing todo with beryl not working, you could ask in #ubuntu-effects
[07:36] <demonspork> thedash, in my own vnc setup I simply bypass the need for the vncviewer, if you are using tightvncserver, it has a built in java interface that can be accessed over http
[07:36] <Punkunity> hey what about ubuntu studio too isnt that a good one or no??
[07:37] <anothrguitarist> Hi all
[07:37] <macd> arooni, are you sure its intel x3100 ?
[07:37] <jonathan_> yes
[07:37] <anothrguitarist> How can I check if my ubuntu is running i386 or amd64? I forgot which version I downloaded
[07:37] <arooni> macd: absolutely:  Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 (Chipset GM965)  ... unless lenovo put something else in by mistake
[07:38] <jonathan_> lynn, can u give me some clues?
[07:38] <macd> ahh GM965!
[07:38] <genefitz> Punkunity: I haven't read much about Ubuntu Studio (it is pretty new) I use 64 Studio for recording. It works well.
[07:38] <macd> arooni, talking to a friend with that laptop said he had to use gutsys xorg, and after prolonged use with xgl it crashes
[07:38] <xike> xgl looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/2vp38y, any ideas?
[07:38] <macd> so if you dont use desktop-effects you should be fine
[07:38] <justinb> anyone help me, i cannot get my usb drive to show up
[07:38] <GuHhH> is there any irc client with proxy support?
[07:38] <arooni> macd:  oh noes :(
[07:39] <arooni> macd: well i jsut want video.. i dont need desktop effects yet
[07:39] <genefitz> justinb: are you hotplugging or are you cold plugging?
[07:39] <macd> you should be fine using gutsy (or just gutsys xorg)
[07:39] <jonathan_> are u there, lynn?

[07:44] <genefitz> Justinb, how was it formatted, or more accurately, what computer did you use to format it the last time?
[07:44] <sauvin> nigname, apt-get comes with ubuntu.
[07:45] <krillin> chmod 700 *.run && ./*.run
[07:45] <sirjoshimus> i double click and it gives me some kind of unicode thing
[07:45] <MarkC> hi, how do i convert flv files to mp3 using mplayer?
[07:45] <sirjoshimus> ok, so just in console
[07:45] <sirjoshimus> alright
[07:45] <justinb> genefitz: it was formatted under windows
[07:45] <GNine> speakin of which.. i still need to configure my network printer ..   :(
[07:45] <sauvin> MarkC, there is an #mplayer channel on this net.
[07:45] <demonspork> thedash, have you tried using Applications > Internet > Terminal Servers Client
[07:46] <genefitz> justinb, windows 95/98, or XP?

[07:46] <sauvin> Fulio: with what?
[07:46] <demonspork> thedash, that is vncviewer with a graphical config I think
[07:46] <justinb> genefitz: xp and it is fat32
[07:46] <FuLio> with my nvidia driver
[07:46] <krillin> FuLio: ask away

[07:47] <FuLio> it should say "ALL DONE ! You may see a nvidia logo ! Now you can also enable desktop effects"

[07:48] <H264> after using XGl for compiz-fusion, I just now swiched back to the default session, and now I get no title bars or boarders for the windows...

[07:49] <Ajit> bluetooth dongle depends on OS???
[07:49] <FuLio> =\
[07:49] <genefitz> justinb: note the drive IDs will differ
[07:49] <nigname> how do i unmount my cdrom
[07:49] <Blah> I can't handle this multitasking
[07:49] <demonspork> thedash, when I made a launcher for vncviewer to connect to my server, it worked correctly when set as "application in terminal", the only difference is that I included the host in the command and it asked for the password rather than having that done by  passwd
[07:49] <Ajit> or just I purchase a dongle and this will work in Ubuntu as well  as in Windows??????
[07:50] <sauvin> Can anybody else confirm that ubuntu server does not install apt-get on initial install?
[07:50] <GNine> right click on on it and choose unmount
[07:50] <FuLio> krillin; did you get it?
[07:50] <H264> anybody have a few commands up their sleeve for getting titlebars back in the default session?
[07:50] <desertc> Hello - would someone recommend an RPG they like to play on Ubuntu, please??
[07:50] <beg1689> desertc what kind of rpg
[07:50] <demonspork> What would I add to an fstab line to grant me full read/write access to the partition when it is mounted?
[07:50] <beg1689> dare i say... nethack?
[07:50] <nigname> sauvin it seems like none of the commands are available
[07:50] <desertc> beg1689: Something with a story
[07:50] <H264> desertc: planeshif is an alright opensource MMORPG
[07:50] <cyrenity> hay
[07:50] <desertc> H264: Thanks sounds good
[07:51] <cyrenity> guys what to do any idea?
[07:51] <beg1689> desert, planeshift for mmo, you oculd try scourge for something single player
[07:51] <krillin> FuLio: 404
[07:51] <FuLio> can someone help me with my NVIDIA driver..
[07:51] <nigname> how do i un mount my cdrom?
[07:51] <FuLio> krillin; what you mena?
[07:51] <FuLio> ,eam*
[07:51] <FuLio> mean*
[07:51] <krillin> FuLio: i get a 404
[07:51] <sirjoshimus> can i install unreal tournament goty on 64 bit feisty?
[07:51] <krillin> ah, typo on your part
[07:51] <sauvin> nigname, how are you trying to invoke the commands you say aren't available?
[07:51] <desertc> H264: Hope it has an AMD64 version.  KK have a good day.  Don't give any support to those Dell users who are getting sent here from their technical support call centers!  :)
[07:51] <desertc> sirjoshimus: No.
[07:51] <sirjoshimus> why not?
[07:52] <sirjoshimus> it can be ported to linux
[07:52] <FuLio> <krillin: pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/34028/
[07:52] <FuLio> lol
[07:52] <sirjoshimus> id think that it could
[07:52] <FuLio> sry.
[07:52] <nick__> to unmount right click  on cd and choose
[07:52] <beg1689> ut2004 has a 64 bit linux binary
[07:52] <nigname> sauvin well, i inserted the ubuntu desktop cd hoping to find packages to install, but i didnt find them
[07:52] <GNine> there is one , demonspork.   do u know how the  sudo shown -R  line goes?
[07:52] <nigname> so i was going to try the instalation disk instead
[07:52] <sirjoshimus> well thats bogus
[07:52] <nigname> which makes more sense
[07:52] <nigname> apparently mount cdrom works
[07:52] <GNine> chown, that is
[07:52] <krillin> FuLio: start by looking at the WWs, then the EEs. i see a "(WW) NVIDIA: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:10:3) found"
[07:52] <sauvin> nigname, is your ubuntu server machine connected to the internet?
[07:52] <beg1689> theres no reason to use 64 bit
[07:52] <nigname> how do i un mount it so that i can take it off?
[07:52] <nigname> sauvin yup
[07:52] <genefitz> justinb: have any luck?
[07:52] <beg1689> use the 32 bit version if if your having trouble
[07:52] <H264> after using XGl for compiz-fusion, I just now swiched back to the default session, and now I get no title bars or boarders for the windows... anybody have a few commands I could try?
[07:53] <nigname> i did ifconfig
[07:53] <FuLio> krillin ; how do i do that?
[07:53] <demonspork> GNine?
[07:53] <rockets> teKnofreak, LostIRC works OK I guess.
[07:53] <demonspork> GNine, what do you mean
[07:53] <krillin> FuLio: there's a problem with your xorg.conf is what that means
[07:53] <sauvin> And ubuntu sevrver is indeed installed on that machine; you're not just using a livecd when you try to invoke these commands?
[07:53] <rockets> At least it doesn't crash.
[07:53] <nigname> sauvin nope, i already partition the disk and ubuntu has been correctly installed
[07:53] <nigname> it boots and everything
[07:53] <FuLio> krillin; how do i fix it? can you help me please/
[07:53] <sauvin> How do you log into this machine?
[07:53] <nigname> but some of the most basic commands are not avaiable
[07:54] <GNine> sudo chown -R <your username>:users  /media/disk-1 or whatever u call ur partition
[07:54] <nigname> well, i have physical access
[07:54] <sauvin> That depends on what you mean by "basic".
[07:54] <krillin> FuLio: magic. come on, help me help you. post your xorg.conf. i'm not a mind reader
[07:54] <sauvin> How are you logging on to this machien?
[07:54] <nigname> im using my laptop right now on windows, the server is right next to me
[07:54] <nigname> as root
[07:54] <nigname> the command line says root@Shalico:/cdrom#
[07:55] <teKnofreak> root ?
[07:55] <sauvin> When yo log onto this machine, is the livecd mounted?
[07:55] <nigname> sauvin have some patience please, im brand new in this area (obviously!)
[07:55] <FuLio> im truly a newbi. help me out, how do i do that.
[07:55] <nigname> no
[07:55] <sauvin> Then you shouldn't be in /cdrom.
[07:55] <nigname> i did the instalation, took the cd out and rebooted
[07:55] <nigname> the linux ran like it should, i would think so at least
[07:56] <sauvin> On this machine, do this: echo $PATH
[07:56] <GNine> time for a bagel
[07:56] <krillin> FuLio: a little googling would be appreciated as well. upload /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a pastebin. i can't tell you what's wrong with something i don't have access to
[07:56] <nigname> /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[07:57] <sauvin> Do this: ls /usr/bin/apt*
[07:57] <sauvin> Confirm or deny that apt-get is there.
[07:57] <FuLio> <krillin: pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/34031/
[07:57] <nigname> its there
[07:57] <nigname> and others too
[07:57] <sauvin> When you try to run apt-get, what result do you get?
[07:58] <nigname> /usr/bin/apt-get
[07:58] <nigname> aptitude too
[07:58] <Ajit> bluetooth dongle depends on OS and dongle drivers? I have dual boot PC, my USB is working in ubuntu and in windows OS so dongle would work in both OS ???
[07:58] <nigname> i guess i need to add something to my path?
[07:59] <floppyears> hi my ubuntu machine crashes when I turn it on
[07:59] <n2diy> I lost my dialup connection, and when I went to re-connect, kppp told me the modem was busy.  I reset the modem, still busy, switched modems, still busy, disconnected the modem, and still busy. Reset the port with minicom, same thing. Did init 1 then init 5, logged out of root, and back in as me, and that fixed it. Ideas?
[08:00] <nigname> sauvin how do i make that command available without having to type the whole directory?
[08:00] <krillin> FuLio: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.11/README/chapter-08.html (that came from reading your /var/log/Xorg.0.log + google by the way)
[08:00] <krillin> FuLio: reference the first FAQ
[08:01] <FuLio> krillin;yes
[08:02] <sauvin> You do not need to add anything to your path. You should be able to say apt-get from any command line and have it do something.
[08:04] <Blah> now that I have learned linux I should learn how to type
[08:04] <hxu> Hi! I tried getrlimit(RLIM_MQUEUE, rlim), the hard limit and soft limit are all -1, which means infinity, any idea?
[08:04] <Blah>  /:)

[08:05] <numus> like where the close and minimize buttons are and i dont remember how i did it
[08:05] <Superkuh> Anyone know how I could check if hardware tcp checksum offloading is enabled on my (mobo integrated) NIC under ubuntu (feisty) (or if a more general answer exists for debian-like, or even general linux systems)?
[08:05] <^futuro> Goodmorring
[08:05] <numus> any idea?
[08:06] <krillin> numus: In GNOME? I believe it's set in your theme. So System -> Preferences -> Themes I think
[08:06] <numus> that does basic themes
[08:06] <moyer> how do i lock my screen without running the screen saver at all.. my monitor shuts down i dont need it..
[08:06] <yigal> i need help very badly, a file called "yes" appear where every i have done some work.  it used to be small 50-100K and it used to come every 1/2hour - and hour now it comes every 10 minutes and is about 4M?

[08:06] <yigal> does anyone have a clew?
[08:06] <yigal> what it is?
[08:06] <n2diy> numus: next time leave a trail, so you don't get lost, keeping a notebook is a good idea.

[08:07] <Arafangion> yigal: YOu have given us no information.
[08:07] <Arafangion> yigal: Therefore, we cannot help you.
[08:07] <^futuro> in /dev/sda
[08:07] <^futuro> doesn't work
[08:07] <krillin> FuLio: did you read the first 'common problem'?
[08:07] <nigname> sauvico it works
[08:07] <FuLio> yea it was hard for me.
[08:08] <Arafangion> yigal: All you have told us is that a given random file has the name 'yes', and it eventually gets big.
[08:08] <mannytu> numus: Menus & tool bar?
[08:08] <^futuro> I am a newbie
[08:08] <nigname> sauvin it works, i appreciate your help a lot :)
[08:08] <mannytu> me too
[08:08] <krillin> FuLio: well, the answer is right there. if you're unwilling to help yourself, i'm unwilling to help you.
[08:08] <nigname> same here
[08:08] <astro76> moyer, if you click the shutdown button one of the options is lock screen
[08:08] <numus> mannytu no.,. this was something else
[08:08] <FuLio> .....
[08:08] <sauvin> I sorta thought so. Something just wasn't right.
[08:08] <yigal> Arafangion: the file is called 'yes' and the command $file generates:yes: GNU dbm 1.x or ndbm database, little endian
[08:08] <yigal> Arafangion: is this any better
[08:08] <moyer> yeah but it will  run screen savor
[08:09] <moyer> it doesnt give me option not to, whats the commmand anyone know?

[08:14] <voidmage> rtorrent
[08:14] <m0u5e> anyone know how to connect to a wireless network using the term?
[08:14] <Nicark> thanks :)
[08:15] <m0u5e>  i need to connect to a WPA encrypted wireless network, it detects it fine when i sudo iwlist ethX scan, :D
[08:15] <Ajit> bluetooth dongle depends on OS and dongle drivers? I have dual boot PC, my USB is working in ubuntu and in windows OS so dongle would work in both OS ???
[08:15] <cjae> voidmage, does it have dht?
[08:15] <voidmage> nope, sorry
[08:15] <shiester_miester> wow, I finally managed to connect to the internet in ubuntu...
[08:15] <shiester_miester> can someone please help me figure out why it doesn't usually work?
[08:16] <sauvin> shiester_miester, wireless?
[08:17] <shiester_miester> sauvin, nope, just plain old cat5 into an adsl router
[08:17] <shiester_miester> it is most definitely supported out of the box with no config necessary
[08:17] <shiester_miester> except that its been acting up lately
[08:17] <sauvin> Maybe your router is flaky.
[08:18] <shiester_miester> sauvin, nope, its got a series of little lights that show whats going on in each category, and the "ethernet connection" one and "internet connection" one are both always fine
[08:18] <arooni> can someone please give me a bittorrent client i can install from the command line?  (that has a guI)?
[08:18] <shiester_miester> plus, I can reboot into windows (without touching the router) and it works fine
[08:19] <shiester_miester> the problem is almost certainly with ubuntu, which is why I come here
[08:19] <sauvin> I presume eth0 is configured for dhcp?
[08:19] <shiester_miester> eth1
[08:19] <shiester_miester> eth0 is used for my previous failed attempt at networking with another computer
[08:19] <sauvin> What are you using for default gateway?
[08:19] <shiester_miester> I don't see why it would matter whether I used one or the other though
[08:20] <NForc3r> anyone here got any experience installing the driver of an 8800gts on ubuntu
[08:20] <sauvin> It depends on which eth you shoved the cat5 into, I'd think.
[08:20] <shiester_miester> sauvin, its all set to "automatic configuration"
[08:20] <tiyo> hi
[08:20] <shiester_miester> sauvin, and I know that the settings work because its working right now and I haven't changed them!

[08:21] <NForc3r> oh

[08:21] <shiester_miester> bah
[08:22] <astro76> lol
[08:22] <shiester_miester> the whole of linux is based on "works for me"
[08:22] <shiester_miester> well ok not the whole
[08:22] <shiester_miester> but a lot of the things we do
[08:22] <krillin> tell that to Linux with regard to the whole Con thing
[08:22] <shiester_miester> many a linux install is held together by the duct tape of various hacks and tweaks
[08:22] <krillin> s/Linux/Linus
[08:23] <shiester_miester> sauvin, any ideas?
[08:23] <cjae> anyone here use mutorrent in wine
[08:23] <darius> anyone here involved in the development or testing of the ubuntu installer or package management?
[08:23] <sauvin> What are you using for default gateway and dns servers?
[08:24] <colinnn> anyone here tried installing google earth in ubuntu? mine reboots xwindows when i run it
[08:24] <m0u5e> how do i connect to a wireless network? is it possible using a terminal?
[08:24] <m0u5e> i'd rather not install network-manager-gnome, as I'm currently on a xubuntu machine
[08:24] <shiester_miester> sauvin, its all just set to "automatic"
[08:24] <m0u5e> hgmm
[08:24] <shiester_miester> sauvin, I havent manually set anything
[08:24] <shiester_miester> well, I did once, but I put it all back to the default
[08:24] <m0u5e> can anyone help me with wireless?

[08:25] <cafuego> m0u5e: 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWORK_ESS_ID'
[08:25] <darius> miester.. automatic everything is often the source of instability and strange behaviour... just because it works in windows doesnt mean much
[08:25] <sauvin> I may not be able to help with that kind of thing. I don't know what "default" is, and I know nothing about your router.
[08:25] <colinnn> nothing on the bot. mm hmm, i installed it under my username and realized it goes into the wrong directory
[08:25] <colinnn> then i tried instlaling it as root and still, same thing
[08:25] <shiester_miester> sauvin, the thing is, sometimes it works when i boot ubuntu, and sometimes it doesnt.  on the times that it doesn't I just reboot it a few times and it ends up working
[08:25] <cafuego> colinnn: I use it just fine - also made available as .deb.
[08:26] <colinnn> pretty new to linux. in fact, absolutely fricking newbified. think the .deb will make a difference?
[08:26] <cafuego> colinnn: Note it will be very unahppy if you lack (the right kind of) 3d hardware.
[08:26] <shiester_miester> sauvin, but lately its been barely working ever
[08:26] <m0u5e> is there a way i can connect to my wireless using the terminal?
[08:26] <adydas> being a kubuntu fan having to manually install beryl etc im a bit lost on gnomes hole 3d desktop using compiz.. How do you add themes do you need to add a manger for it like beryl has emerald or what?
[08:26] <m0u5e> i'd rather not install network-manager-gnome
[08:26] <shiester_miester> and I certainly haven't changed any settings related to networking
[08:26] <cafuego> colinnn: it ought not make a difference, but the only way top know for sure is to try eh :-)
[08:27] <cjae> ?
[08:27] <cafuego> m0u5e: Pay attention please.
[08:27] <cafuego> m0u5e: 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid NETWORK_ESS_ID'
[08:27] <shiester_miester> adydas, do you mean themes as in window decorations?
[08:27] <colinnn> haha yeah alright.
[08:27] <m0u5e> cafuego I did... but i have WPA encryption on it,
[08:27] <sauvin> I believe (but won't swear) that I manually set the default gateway. I KNOW I set the DNS servers.
[08:27] <cafuego> m0u5e: ... ouch pain. Ubuntu isn't really set up to do WPA via cmdline.
[08:27] <colinnn> uhm oh, also wanted to ask, cafuego, what are the directories i should install it in?
[08:27] <colinnn> should it be /usr/local/google-earth
[08:27] <m0u5e> cafuego: do i have to use the network-manager-gnome then? :X
[08:28] <colinnn> and the bin directory /usr/bin/ or something/
[08:28] <adydas> shiester_miester: Yeah i guess thats it.. Im not sure im just curious i remember with beryl and emerald you could download from kde-look.org and install themes to do the scheme and any effects etc with compiz how can you do the same.
[08:28] <cafuego> m0u5e: You'll need to set up wpasupplicant with a config file, then start it from /etc/network/interfaces via the pre-up command.
[08:28] <cafuego> colinnn: You can install it anywhere, make a symlink in /usr/bin
[08:28] <m0u5e> cafuego: i dont recall it was this complicated when i got it working last time... :X
[08:28] <astro76> colinnn, if you use the .bin the defaults of /opt and /usr/local/bin are fine
[08:28] <shiester_miester> adydas, i dunno, i use emerald but I just use the default themes
[08:28] <colinnn> !symlink|colinnn
[08:28] <shiester_miester> sauvin, how can one find out the DNS server?
[08:29] <yigal> m0u5e: if you don't want to use network-manager then you should use /etc/networ/interfaces
[08:29] <adydas> can you install emerald with compiz
[08:29] <colinnn> okay, i tried using those and it still restarted X. i think the bin files ended up in the wrong directory though. nvm. i'll work it out
[08:29] <Downsay[Linux] > I am entirely new to linux, could someone please help me out a little bit?  I am considering a permanent switch from windows to linux
[08:29] <adydas> (perhaps im just missing emerald )
[08:29] <krillin> Downsay[Linux] : what's the problem?
[08:29] <adydas> Downsay[Linux] :  shoot if ppl can help they will
[08:29] <WindsofTime> &&Help&& I installed Linux onto my HD, not I would like to  put windows on another Partition..when I went to install Windows it said unknown harddrive!.. I would like to "break a piece" off of my Linux Partition *which is the whole harddrive* and give it to windows..can this be done without a reformat???
[08:29] <cafuego> colinnn: if all else fails: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/feisty-cafuego/google/
[08:29] <Whtiger> Hello
[08:29] <m0u5e> yigal -_- yeah... i prefer the nm-applet to this lol
[08:29] <WindsofTime> *now
[08:29] <sauvin> I use opendns, iirc.
[08:29] <sauvin> Moment.
[08:29] <Downsay[Linux] > my biggest irritation atm is that my font, when I am typing, misses out on finishing some of the letters...like the n's, m's, i's, j's
[08:30] <Whtiger> I get an IRQ handler type mismatch, current handler: timer for my NIC
[08:30] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, are the windows and linux partitions on physically separate drives?
[08:30] <m0u5e> yigal: so after i download it, will it automatically add itself to autostart applications or do i have to do it manually?
[08:30] <WindsofTime> Remodify that, it said Unkown Parition
[08:30] <Whtiger> I have another NIC which works in the same slot, so is this NIC shot?
[08:30] <darius> windsoftime.... if you installed with the LVM yes.... if not your out of luck
[08:30] <adydas> shiester_miester: it says emeralds the thing for berly not compiz or are they the same?
[08:30] <sauvin> http://www.opendns.com/
[08:30] <shiester_miester> adydas, emerald works with compiz and beryl
[08:30] <colinnn> thx cafuego
[08:30] <yigal> m0u5e: network-manager?
[08:30] <[meme] > HELP: I need to give two people that work for me a way to modify my webpage. so I have created a webadmin group, add these two people into it and change the group of the htdocs directory, but when they change something files are created with their owner and group ID. What I can do?
[08:30] <benanzo> can i initiate a GNOME XDMCP connection remotely?  not on my network
[08:30] <m0u5e> yigal:  yes
[08:30] <WindsofTime> shiester_miester, sorry..Its on one harddrive..one partition..linux is the only OS right now.. I would like to break a piece off of Linux's partition and give it to windows to use.. its this possible?
[08:31] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, you dont "Break" a partition :P you resize them
[08:31] <yigal> m0u5e: i believe it does but i use  /etc/network/interfaces
[08:31] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, and yes, you can resize the linux partition so that windows has more room to play with
[08:31] <Downsay[Linux] > my question is how to fix my font I suppose
[08:31] <WindsofTime> alright
[08:31] <WindsofTime> how do I go about doing this
[08:31] <WindsofTime> >_>
[08:31] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, although installing windows will make you unable to boot into linux
[08:31] <dariuskane> you cant resize partition inside linux unless youve used LVM to manage volumes
[08:31] <m0u5e> yigal: how do you configure /etc/network/interfaces?
[08:31] <Downsay[Linux] > I'm not sure if it has something to do with the amount of dpi I have allowed in Linux or not
[08:32] <WindsofTime> shiester_miester, why?
[08:32] <shiester_miester> dariuskane, he didnt say "inside linux"
[08:32] <yigal> m0u5e: it will depend on the wifi card you are using
[08:32] <benanzo> m0u5e: "man interfaces" in a terminal
[08:32] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, because windows only tolerates booting alongside other versions of windows (and maybe a few other OSs, certainly not linux)
[08:32] <dariuskane> you cant resize partition from windows installer either
[08:32] <WindsofTime> Well it was able to before
[08:32] <shiester_miester> dariuskane, you can do it from the live CD
[08:32] <WindsofTime> When I had windows
[08:32] <yigal> m0u5e: i am using what was and may still be somewhat tricky rt73 chipset for what you want - i believe - a WPA wifi connection
[08:32] <WindsofTime> and then installed Linux
[08:32] <m0u5e> yigal: i use several access points, so i need roaming :X
[08:32] <WindsofTime> I was able to boot from either
[08:32] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, if you install linux after you install windows then yes you can
[08:32] <WindsofTime> why not now?
[08:32] <dariuskane> not without lvm
[08:32] <WindsofTime> =\
[08:33] <WindsofTime> Is there a manual way of getting into Linux after this?
[08:33] <benanzo> can I do a remove XDMCP connection like you can with VNC or just ssh -X?
[08:33] <benanzo> remote
[08:33] <dariuskane> and if you understand the boot loader you can load 100 different OSs from the same system
[08:33] <shiester_miester> but if you install windows after linux then windows will overwrite grub (linux' boot loader) with its own
[08:33] <yigal> m0u5e: roaming is not an issue.  you would probably set up a couple of scripts that can change for a WEP, WPA, WPA2 connection etc.
[08:33] <WindsofTime> thats homosexual person
[08:33] <WindsofTime> >_>
[08:33] <Weredragon> I need extreme help in the partition creator, when in the Ubuntu installer.
[08:33] <shiester_miester> dariuskane, yes, the grub boot loader.  installing windows overwrites it, as far as I know
[08:34] <shiester_miester> I'm not aware of the windows boot loader having such functionality
[08:34] <Downsay[Linux] > can anyone help me out?  Imy first problem is that I cannot get my font on my monitor to show everything I need it to...
[08:34] <sauvin> shiester_miester is correct. Windows will clobber ANY competing operating system's boot loader.
[08:34] <astro76> [meme] , usermod -g webadmin $USER
[08:34] <shiester_miester> yay
[08:34] <WindsofTime> cause it is a homosexual person
[08:34] <yigal> m0u5e: interfaces method uses the commandline iwconfig + iwpriv tools but it is a script that ubuntu/debian understand how to use
[08:34] <Geek_> hmm
[08:34] <shiester_miester> if windows was a person, we would all be in trouble
[08:35] <shiester_miester> sauvin, any idea what commands I could use to debug my networking problem?
[08:35] <sauvin> Yea. Fat, stupid and POWERFUL.
[08:35] <Downsay[Linux] > is anyone hearing me?
[08:35] <sauvin> No, I don't :(
[08:35] <[meme] > astro76: I have already added my two users to the webadmin group, but i used -G
[08:35] <Downsay[Linux] > or is my irc client not working?
[08:35] <shiester_miester> Downsay[Linux] , no, nobody can her you :P
[08:35] <dariuskane> windows doesnt play nice but it can be fixed afterwards
[08:35] <yigal> m0u5e: thats the only advantage in using it over a homemade script
[08:35] <Downsay[Linux] > surely this has to be an easy fix
[08:35] <shiester_miester> yes, you will need to reinstall grub onto the master boot partition
[08:35] <astro76> [meme] , -G adds to group, -g changes default login group
[08:35] <Downsay[Linux] > part of my letters are being cut off when I am typing and when I am reading fonts
[08:35] <astro76> [meme] , i.e. the one listed in /etc/passwd for the user
[08:35] <Downsay[Linux] > for you guys I am sure it looks normal
[08:36] <Downsay[Linux] > but on my end it is terribly messed up
[08:36] <shiester_miester> Downsay[Linux] , if someone who is paying attention knows of a solution to your problem, I'm sure they will try to help
[08:37] <[meme] > astro76: buy why do I need to change them from their own group to the webadmin group, will not be ok to add them to this group?
[08:37] <dariuskane> have you checked your resolution is set to the right dimensions... and/or set it to a new font in the system menu
[08:37] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, once you install windows, you will have to put grub back onto the mbr.  grub tolerates windows, windows doesn't tolerate anything else
[08:37] <m0u5e> yigal: do you know why i would get this msg: /usr/bin/esd: not found everytime i run nm-applet?
[08:37] <astro76> [meme] , because that's what you need to do to have files they create be owned by their user, which is what you wanted
[08:37] <astro76> [meme] , err, by the webadmin group
[08:38] <dariuskane> esd is a abstract sound driver.... you havent installed it
[08:38] <yigal> m0u5e: no isnt that the enlightned sound daemon?
[08:38] <shiester_miester> sauvin, if its any help, when the internet won't connect and I try to ping anything, it always says "sendmsg: operation not permitted" or something like that
[08:38] <Weredragon> Could anyone help me with making the partions so I can install Ubuntu?
[08:38] <unomystEz> why does ubuntu install packages (with apt-get) into /usr and /etc and /var spreading the package's contents everywhere in my OS?
[08:38] <WindsofTime> shiester_miester, can this be done without the risk of losing anything from Linux?
[08:38] <yigal> m0u5e: it means you don't have /usr/bin/esd
[08:39] <sirjoshimus> you can partition from the live cdd
[08:39] <sirjoshimus> cd*
[08:39] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, yes, the linux partition shouldn't be touched at all
[08:39] <[meme] > but then every file they create in their normal use will be owned by webadmin group.
[08:39] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, but linux's boot loader will be removed
[08:39] <sirjoshimus> just hit manual configure partition
[08:39] <sirjoshimus> and select what you like
[08:39] <dariuskane> unomystez.... thats how the file system is structured for linux.... its not windows with everything dumped in program files
[08:39] <m0u5e> yigal: do i need it? :X
[08:39] <WindsofTime> shiester_miester, So how do I restore it and save my info and my linux?
[08:39] <yigal> m0u5e: NO
[08:39] <WindsofTime> How do I restore the Grub and boot loader
[08:40] <thyko> how do i reconfigure a packege?
[08:40] <yigal> m0u5e: i don't know why it is giving you that error though
[08:40] <JesusOnStilts> hey how would i create a partition from freespace on my filesysem?
[08:40] <colinnn> wow. being tech support on this channel is a full time job man.
[08:40] <thyko> apt-get install blah
[08:40] <astro76> [meme] , you could have them chgrp the files they create
[08:40] <dariuskane> mouse.. no you dont need it... but it will keep looking for it
[08:40] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, not entirely sure, I've never done it.  I don't believe its too difficult though
[08:40] <thyko> now i want to reconfigure blah
[08:40] <WindsofTime> =\
[08:40] <Weredragon> sirjoshimus:  I booted from the live CD, but when tr to install it onto the harddrive..  it errors
[08:40] <WindsofTime> Thank you, but I wish someone knew how to do it
[08:40] <shiester_miester> JesusOnStilts, you need to use a partition editor, like gparted in linux or partition magic in windows
[08:40] <m0u5e> yigal hmm thats weird...
[08:41] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, someone does, try asking the channel later
[08:41] <yigal> m0u5e: unless its trying to play some music, but it needs esd to do it ?
[08:41] <colinnn> JesusOnStilts: i think you need to defrag first too.
[08:41] <JesusOnStilts> but for my hda1 shiester_miester ?
[08:41] <shiester_miester> JesusOnStilts, for any hdd, i assume
[08:41] <JesusOnStilts> i did fsck
[08:41] <JesusOnStilts> where is defrag?
[08:41] <shiester_miester> you don't need to defrag a linux file system
[08:41] <yigal> m0u5e: you could install the package esound it should be very small and it has /usr/bin/esd in it and see what happens ?
[08:41] <WindsofTime> shiester_miester, sadly I dont have that much time =\
[08:41] <shiester_miester> JesusOnStilts, it doesn't get fragmented in the first place
[08:41] <WindsofTime> Do you think they may have it in the forums?
[08:42] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, thats unfortunate
[08:42] <JesusOnStilts> it is safe to unmount hda1??? while on it?
[08:42] <JesusOnStilts> haha
[08:42] <Weredragon> It says failed to partion but lets me continue to the next step... I don't want to erase my windows though
[08:42] <shiester_miester> WindsofTime, probably
[08:42] <WindsofTime> !forums
[08:42] <ubotu> The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums.
[08:42] <shiester_miester> JesusOnStilts, its probably only safe if that drive isnt being used
[08:42] <m0u5e> yigal: yeah, im in the process of testing, apparently this /usr/bin/esd error is quite common throughout several gnome apps :X
[08:42] <cjae> anyone here use mutorrent in wine
[08:42] <shiester_miester> Weredragon, do you have partitions set up for ubuntu?
[08:42] <yigal> m0u5e: what type of dependencies exist for esound ?
[08:42] <JesusOnStilts> that's the thing dude
[08:42] <thyko> ubotu: reconfigure
[08:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about reconfigure - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:42] <m0u5e> yigal: yup its gone
[08:43] <JesusOnStilts> it's my filesystem drive
[08:43] <JesusOnStilts> my main one
[08:43] <yigal> m0u5e: gone where ?
[08:43] <JesusOnStilts> i need to partition it from the freespace
[08:43] <xike> anyone know offhand how to shorten the delay time before grub automatically resumes with the default choice?
[08:43] <shiester_miester> JesusOnStilts, well ist probably not "unsafe" but i dont think the OS will work afterwards :P
[08:43] <yigal> m0u5e: its a GNOME dependency
[08:43] <JesusOnStilts> right ok
[08:43] <JesusOnStilts> well this helps
[08:43] <yigal> m0u5e: how silly
[08:43] <Weredragon> shiester_miester: No I was trying to set up the partions in the installer but it isn't working.   hould I set up the partion in windows?
[08:43] <shiester_miester> JesusOnStilts, you can run gparted from the live cd
[08:44] <JesusOnStilts> k thanks
[08:44] <shiester_miester> Weredragon, you won't be able to, windows doesn't have utils to set up linux partitions, I believe
[08:44] <astro76> [meme] , sorry you can set the set gid bit on the web directory
[08:44] <yigal> Weredragon: no EXT3 for Windbloze
[08:44] <shiester_miester> Weredragon, if the partition editor on the live cd isnt working then something is probably wrong
[08:44] <sauvin> Windows, I believe, DOES have the ability to set up partitions. It just won't do the EXT3 thing
[08:44] <shiester_miester> or the linux swap partition
[08:44] <m0u5e> yigal: i guess its a broken dep then, as ive install a few gnome apps so far, and it never once told me to install esound
[08:45] <shiester_miester> or anything related to linux without installing some dubious hacks
[08:45] <shiester_miester> you could use windows to make a FAT partition and then install linux to that :P
[08:45] <colinnn> xike: yeah um, i used to know. it's a grub-menu list file or something like that. i'll go check it. hang on tight
[08:45] <JesusOnStilts> i dunno if windows will take parts of the drive already in use
[08:45] <shiester_miester> not sure why you would want to use FAT
[08:45] <m0u5e> yigal: seems like the same bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/131476
[08:45] <astro76> [meme] , chmod 2775 /directory
[08:45] <shiester_miester> JesusOnStilts, what do you mean?
[08:45] <Weredragon> WEll, it works but says it failed to create the partion
[08:45] <yigal> m0u5e: install it, tell me what happens :-)
[08:45] <JesusOnStilts> i have another question... when i do make another partition does it matter if i make it at the beginning or the end of the drive
[08:45] <Weredragon> A fat partion would be quite small O.o
[08:45] <JesusOnStilts> cause i think you can do that in manual install but i dunno the options in gparted
[08:45] <shiester_miester> Weredragon, how much empty space is there for a partition, and what are you trying to make?
[08:46] <xike> colinnn: thanks...
[08:46] <araizen> adept froze, so i killed it. but it seems it left a lock, so now it won't start. how can i delete the lockfile, or whatever needs to be done?
[08:46] <shiester_miester> Weredragon, no it wouldnt...it would still have to be big enough to contain all the data
[08:46] <araizen> synaptic doesn't work either, naturally
[08:46] <oranye> bfnc
[08:46] <sauvin> Well, seeing as how Windows usually doesn't evidence more brains than $deity gave a common garden slug, i would obvious not use Windows to partition anything on the drive Windows is already installed on.
[08:46] <astro76> [meme] , or chmod g+s /directory
[08:46] <shiester_miester> yeah
[08:46] <shiester_miester> words of wisdom
[08:46] <m0u5e> yigal: the errors go away :)
[08:46] <yigal> m0u5e: i wonder if you made a symbolic link to alsa using esd emulation if you would get the bug
[08:47] <m0u5e> yigal: haha i have no idea how to do that xD
[08:47] <[meme] > astro76: Ok! Thanks!
[08:47] <arooni> can someone help met to get my ethernet device working in 7.04 (t61).... its not listed in ifconfig and if i try:  sudo ifconfig eth0 up i get the rror :  Unable to allocate MSI interrutpErrror: -22
[08:47] <arooni> what should i do?
[08:47] <Weredragon> shiester_miester: There's 35.95 unsed GB on the rimary partion so I wanted to make a partion to install Ubuntu and eep Windows.
[08:48] <Shaddox> Hi everyone.
[08:48] <shiester_miester> Weredragon, you need to resize that partition first
[08:48] <yigal> m0u5e: as long as installing it doesn't take a huge amount of space its fine
[08:48] <Shaddox> What does it mean when apt-get returns: libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.5-0ubuntu14) but 2.6.1-1 is to be installed
[08:48] <shiester_miester> gday Shaddox
[08:48] <yigal> i guess
[08:48] <Downsay[Linux] > in case anyone in the future has the same problem I was having...
[08:48] <WindsofTime> Hey, For all those people whom are going to install Windows after installing Linux. Please read this!!  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[08:48] <Downsay[Linux] > I just found the fix, it was the dpi settings
[08:48] <shiester_miester> Shaddox, it means that something you are trying to install depends on something you already have, but you don't have a recent enough version of it
[08:48] <Downsay[Linux] > I now have no problem whatsoever with my font
[08:49] <WindsofTime> shiester_miester, I found something ^^
[08:49] <shiester_miester> Downsay[Linux] , I will remember that, thank you.  where were these settings?
[08:49] <Downsay[Linux] > I guess my next question...hopefully someone can help
[08:49] <Shaddox> shiester_miester: I never tried to update my libc6 from what's in the repository. It's a dependent for every vital system program installed
[08:49] <Downsay[Linux] > shiester-->system, font, details, dpi
[08:49] <Downsay[Linux] > I had to increase it
[08:49] <shiester_miester> ah ok
[08:49] <colinnn> xike: it's in /boot/grub, edit it using gedit or something, in superuser mode. so sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst    and then you should see timeout under one of the lines. might wanna copy it somewhere first as backup.
[08:49] <Downsay[Linux] > I need to get some good looking graphics on this os
[08:50] <Downsay[Linux] > anything out there that works?
[08:50] <Weredragon> shiester_miester: It says Error while trying to resize partition
[08:50] <Downsay[Linux] > my desktop effects don't work
[08:50] <sauvin> I have *never* updated my libc.
[08:50] <Daemon--> hey all, trying to install ubuntu desktop on this machine as a virtual pc, the pc is brand new and i dont think ubuntu supports the hardware. I try booting from the cd and after the initial boot screen the image goes all weird and pixalated...... anyone any idea's?
[08:50] <shiester_miester> well that /is/ what it means, isnt it?
[08:50] <m0u5e> yigal: its only 102kb
[08:50] <sauvin> libc is the heart and soul of any unix machine; screw it up, and you may as well just reformat.
[08:50] <shiester_miester> Daemon--, are you running the 64bit ubuntu?
[08:50] <yigal> m0u5e: then splurge, i have to go, enjoy
[08:50] <jscinoz> Hey guys, just installed ubuntu on my new laptop, but i cant seem to get my cd drive to work, there are no cd devices in /dev but there is a mount entry in fstab saying that my cddrive should be

[08:56] <shiester_miester> automatic
[08:56] <NForc3r> ok
[08:56] <NForc3r> and it worked fine im asuming
[08:56] <shiester_miester> I can't guarantee it will work fine for you
[08:56] <shiester_miester> but it did for me
[08:56] <NForc3r> now to set up my wireless (damn i have no idea how)
[08:56] <NForc3r> yea
[08:56] <Doughnuts> I was able to extract a tarball package from DiVX, but am unsure about how to proceed from there.....
[08:56] <NForc3r> i guess it will if not then ill try sumthing ese
[08:56] <NForc3r> else
[08:56] <gadaco> shiester_miester, i meant before ever logging onto a session
[08:56] <WindsofTime> **Help** I have to write an ISO to a cd.. I have to cd roms.. a CD ROM/Burner.. and a DVD Rom
[08:56] <shiester_miester> gadaco, oh, I don't know then
[08:56] <shiester_miester> one of the rc scripts?
[08:56] <Doughnuts> would anyone have a clue?
[08:57] <WindsofTime> It seems linux cannot recognize the CD Burner
[08:57] <ico> anyone knows how to start a loco team
[08:58] <Kousotu> WindsofTime: ty k3b
[08:58] <araizen> what's the command that shows which program it is that has a file open?
[08:58] <WindsofTime> ??
[08:58] <arooni> anyone have a t61 laptop with wxga+ (1440x900) and the intel x3100 graphics card?  i'm having massive troubles getting video output with ubuntu 7.04
[08:58] <WindsofTime> Kousotu, what did I do? o.O
[08:58] <Sinistral_> Does anyone know a way to use SpamAssassin as mail filter for Thunderbird (version 2). I can't set it up on a remote server, so the only way I imagine would be setting up a small local mail server... Any ideas beside that?
[08:58] <cafuego> arooni: 'sudo apt-get instal xserver-xorg-video-intel'
[08:58] <ico> arooni from failsafe try
[08:58] <faileas> arooni: the split screen thing?
[08:59] <ico> and edit xorg.conf
[08:59] <jscinoz> Hey guys, just installed ubuntu on my new laptop, but i cant seem to get my cd drive to work, there are no cd devices in /dev but there is a mount entry in fstab saying that my cddrive should be /dev/hda (which doesnt exist, and seems strange since that would be a hard disk). What can i do?
[08:59] <cafuego> arooni: Then 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and set the driver to "intel" and not "i810"
[08:59] <cafuego> arooni: ... that should see it sorted and happy.
[08:59] <arooni> oooh options
[08:59] <Kousotu> WindsofTime: sudo apt-get instll k3b
[08:59] <astro76> Doughnuts, no idea but you don't need it, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg has codec for divx
[08:59] <Kousotu> install*
[08:59] <arooni> basically when screen comes up... it looks scrabmled & interlaced
[09:00] <astro76> Doughnuts, also vlc will play them
[09:00] <Rexor_Moon> I have a question, is it possible to get a star trek theme for linux?
[09:00] <cafuego> arooni: the -intel driver is somewhat never and supports newer hardware (and features)
[09:00] <faileas> hmm
[09:00] <Rexor_Moon> specifically, I wonder what a borg theme might look like
[09:00] <arooni> cafuego: i already have 7.04 installed... so should i boot to recovery mode?
[09:00] <shiester_miester> Rexor_Moon, why not make one
[09:00] <cafuego> arooni: ctrl-alt-F1, login, run those commands, reboot.
[09:00] <faileas> i'm compiling a programme i want to have available to *all* my users... is there any way to do this?
[09:00] <cafuego> arooni: Actually, don't reboot.
[09:00] <faileas> i mean locationwise, where does it go?
[09:00] <Sinistral_> Rexor_Moon: What exactly do you mean with a theme for Liunx?
[09:00] <astro76> !themes | Rexor_Moon see if there's one....
[09:00] <Rexor_Moon> well, b/c I don't know how
[09:00] <ubotu> Rexor_Moon see if there's one....: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[09:01] <sauvin> it would look like 7 of 9 in full Borg regalia suggesting that resistance is futile, and that your ass is about to be laminated.
[09:01] <shiester_miester> anyway, I'm gonna head off.  cya later everyone
[09:01] <Doughnuts> Astro76: thanks, I'll work on thatnow
[09:01] <arooni> cafuego: how do i reboot
[09:01] <shiester_miester> co'o ro do
[09:01] <cafuego> arooni: Go back to X via ctrl-alt-F7 and  hit ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X.
[09:01] <faileas> (and there's no package, before anyone askes me to use a torrent)
[09:01] <THX-1138> Hello Cafuego youare very generous with your time. - Thank You ever so much. )
[09:01] <arooni> without holding down power button
[09:02] <Rexor_Moon> I say I wonder if because whereas it's relatively easy to find themes for windows, I've noticed that linux themes tend to be more generic, as in lacking movie themes and the like
[09:02] <cafuego> THX-1138: typing beats freezing
[09:02] <astro76> faileas, the standard would be under /usr/local/ (e.g. /usr/local/bin if it's just one file)
[09:02] <Greyhound-> !pre *burn notice*
[09:02] <sirjoshimus> does anyone know and actice .deb link for wired music editor?
[09:02] <sirjoshimus> i cant seem to find one
[09:02] <Greyhound-> wrong channel, sorry
[09:02] <arooni> cafuego: this is bad news:  i cant get the ethernet card to show up.. ifconfig yields nothing ( i have the ethernet cable installed)...
[09:02] <sirjoshimus> ah
[09:03] <NForc3r> how do i install envy
[09:03] <cafuego> arooni: ah, well
[09:03] <NForc3r> i get the binary and i dont have the reqirements
[09:03] <cafuego> arooni: That I can't help with...
[09:03] <frimjon> Hi guys.
[09:03] <frimjon> Can I use a Ubuntu Live CD to boot from a cloned disk?
[09:04] <THX-1138> arooni: Does Ubuntu "See" the hardware?

[09:05] <astro76> frimjon, I guess you need to install grub to the mbr of that disk...
[09:05] <arooni> THX-1138: it sees:  Etherent controler: Intel corp 82566MM Gigabit network connection (rev 03)
[09:05] <astro76> !grub | frimjon

[09:05] <frimjon> astro76: Right.
[09:05] <MarkC> how can i make a vcd using ubuntu? i have the video files ready, i just need a software to make a vcd out of them.
[09:05] <ico> jscinoz see in /media/
[09:05] <astro76> faileas, umm, I guess, /usr/local/bin is in users path so you'll want the bin there
[09:05] <faileas> hmm
[09:06] <astro76> faileas, or make a proper makefile and have it install there  ;)
[09:06] <faileas> never mind, darn thing is refusing to compile
[09:06] <faileas> !rtorrent
[09:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rtorrent - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:06] <faileas> hmm
[09:06] <jscinoz> yes ico, i know there is a /media/cdrom0, however my cd's do not mount there, and from looking in dev, ubuntu isnt even finding my cd drive
[09:06] <faileas> guess not ^^
[09:06] <frimjon> Thanks a bunch astro76.
[09:06] <arooni> THX-1138: any ideas?
[09:07] <THX-1138> okay, it's plugged in securely - does lsmod say anything about the driver used for it?
[09:07] <ico> jscinoz i'm temporarily on kubuntu, you should go to disk and filesistems
[09:07] <medfly> hey.. i got some CD, with pictures in it. and an .exe  to view them. i can open the .exe with wine but its really really slow, gives a ton of errors and is impossible to work with. but i still wanna see the pictures.
[09:07] <ico> perhaps its disabled
[09:07] <Doughnuts> ok, this might not be something you guys can answer, but what can I use to act as a firefox divx player?
[09:07] <medfly> theres no file extension to the pictures so im not sure how i should open them
[09:08] <Rexor_Moon> question, is amarokFS the same program as just plain old amarok?
[09:08] <MarkC> medfly: just click the pictures
[09:08] <MarkC> MarkC ubuntu will take care of the rest.
[09:08] <jscinoz> Ico, it isnt there, from what it appears ubuntu IS NOT detecting it at all, which is strange, since i installed ubuntu from that drive
[09:08] <faileas> medfly: linux looks at headers not extentions, it'll just open
[09:08] <Ahadiel> How would one configure xine not to use xv?
[09:08] <medfly> well, whatever it does, it doesnt work
[09:08] <arooni> THX-1138: what am i looking for in lsmod
[09:09] <Daemon--> booted from the ubuntu disk but the mouse isnt working, anyone know why?
[09:09] <MarkC> is there such thing as an ubuntu movie maker? i want to make a vcd.
[09:09] <ico> jscinoz try mount cdrom in terminal
[09:10] <astro76> medfly, is that a PhotoCD I wonder
[09:10] <arooni> THX-1138: for instance, what am i looking for ion the left hand side
[09:10] <ico> when you type mount you should see whats mounted already
[09:10] <jscinoz> ico, and how am i supposed to do that when there is no entry in /dev for the cdrom drive?
[09:10] <medfly> astro76, i dont know. its pictures of a surgery. lol
[09:11] <THX-1138> Nothing in there that looks like your ethernet card driver? - (I can only begin to search for where a problem is in Ubuntu, not guru enough to fix anything really. :/
[09:11] <astro76> medfly, try the file command on one of the pictures and see what it says
[09:11] <bl00dfox> hai guys
[09:11] <arooni> THX-1138: :(  ... um i dont see anything that says ethernet for instance
[09:11] <medfly> astro76, ok, gimp can try to open this thing, it even mentioned this name. but the plugin crashes
[09:12] <medfly> something called DICOM medical imaging data.. thanks :-) ill see if anything else can open this
[09:12] <medfly> got it!
[09:13] <THX-1138> arooni: At this point i would google for your card description given by lspci and try to match it against the module that is supposed to load.
[09:13] <bl00dfox> man updating is taking forever
[09:13] <Greyhound-> how do I enable the universe ?
[09:13] <bl00dfox> especially the openoffice stuff

[09:14] <THX-1138> arooni: not much help really but i hope it is enough.
[09:14] <ico> jscinoz have you tried mount command
[09:14] <revilodraw> Hi! Im having a very weird problem; when I login to ubuntu everything goes peachy until my little sticknotes loads and then everything freezes, no mouse, no keyboard... and the hardware is defiintely capable... i need to know the terminal command for add/remove programs
[09:14] <arooni> THX-1138: i appreciate you helping me out ... i just dont know where to go next. buit i hope google is the answer
[09:15] <jscinoz> ico, yes...
[09:15] <Doughnuts> thx-1138: was the card using the supported atheros chip set?
[09:15] <krillin> revilodraw: if you need to add or remove programs, (not the GUI itself), then apt-get {install|remove} <package>
[09:15] <THX-1138> Doughnuts - He said ethernet so i assume it is a wired card.
[09:15] <arooni> yeah i need to get internet to fix my video card
[09:16] <sauvin> This is... uncool. Noatun has trouble handling more than three thousand tunes?
[09:16] <revilodraw> krillin- thank you and i will try this, but i would prefer the gui prompt please, since im not 100% sure of the program.. i think its sticknotes
[09:16] <drgeb> Hi all. I have beryl installed but for some reason it does not automatically startup. I have to type beryl& each time how can it automatically be started? I
[09:16] <ico> jscinoz there is one more tip mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
[09:16] <Downsay> Is there a keyboard shortcut for restarting your computer when running ubuntu?  for example, in windows it is ctrl alt del
[09:16] <Sinistral_> Does anyone know a way to use SpamAssassin as mail filter for Thunderbird (version 2). I can't set it up on a remote server, so the only way I imagine would be setting up a small local mail server... Any ideas beside that?
[09:16] <dariuskane> revilodraw... use apt-cache search sticky
[09:17] <krillin> revilodraw: apt-cache search notes | less
[09:17] <drgeb> I have tried addind it to System->Preferences->Sessions but also did not work.
[09:17] <gadaco> hmm, im trying to remove an item from the places menu, but the remove option is grayed out, any ideas?
[09:17] <ico> I think there's no other way but to lookup device manager to check if cd-rom is installed
[09:17] <revilodraw> dariuskane: thank you
[09:17] <jscinoz> ico, I've said it so many times. THERE IS NO DEVICE related to the cdrom in /dev, no /dev/cdrom no /dev/dvd/ no /dev/hda nothing... ubuntu will not detect this cdrom drive, even when it was installed from this very same drive.
[09:17] <facelifted> ubuntu supported dhcpd 3.0.4 but i needed 3.1.0 of isc dhcpd server, can i still install it in ubuntu server?
[09:17] <facelifted> anyone?
[09:17] <BAsh`> hey all i was wondering if you could point me towards a channel with info about adpet?
[09:18] <ico> jscinoz, which version of ubuntu do you have?
[09:18] <THX-1138> Downsay: ctrl+F2 then ctrl+alt+Del? - not very elegant is it...
[09:18] <Rexor_Moon> umm, looks like the linux community, at least as represented by the sites you gave me, really have an aversion to themes for movies or series or anything in particular for that matter
[09:18] <jscinoz> 7.10 tribe 4, 7.04 doesnt support santa rosa.

[09:21] <Codemaster|Mobil> for some reason, i have run sudo dpkg --configure -a and now my /etc/hosts file is useless - if i set a hostname in there to a local IP, I try to ping the hostname and it cannot be found, while if I ping the IP, it comes up fine...

[09:21] <jscinoz> thanks anyways

[09:26] <Rexor_Moon> hey, is there a channel to talk about gaming mods?

[09:28] <cafuego> DFM: The Enterprise version has support and includes automagic backups and probably a few more things I on't know about.
[09:29] <cafuego> DFM: I only have 2 mail accounts on it, so I don't think I have a need for the enterprise one :-)
[09:29] <astro76> sSiroSoriSs, is this related to an ubuntu support question?

[09:29] <cafuego> DFM: However, mine does authenticate against an eternal LDAP server, which is also used for samba, pam_ldap and radius auth.
[09:30] <NForc3r> wait, do i compile the .tar file or the files inside?
[09:30] <Codemaster|Mobil> fles inside
[09:30] <DFM> cafuego: True, this is for a friend in enterprise level IT and I think he has been tasked with replacing Exchange and reducingg if not eliminating cost.
[09:30] <NForc3r> yea
[09:30] <Codemaster|Mobil> NForc3r: you'll want to do a tar -xvf file.tar
[09:30] <Codemaster|Mobil> or whatnot
[09:30] <NForc3r> they are 3 files none of them have configure
[09:31] <Codemaster|Mobil> what 3 files are there
[09:31] <cafuego> DFM: Enterprise level IT *needs* payware support, would be my guess. They could run a completely free system, but I doubt it's worth the risk to the organisation.
[09:31] <NForc3r> debian-binary, data.tar.gz, control.tar.gz
[09:31] <revilodraw> i came back to say that, thanks to you good people in here, i fixed my problem! a parting note 'there's no such thing as a stupid question'
[09:31] <cafuego> DFM: I'm not 100% sure, but there might als be an outlook connector in the non-free versions
[09:31] <Codemaster|Mobil> NForc3r: debian-binary? try running that.
[09:31] <NForc3r> ok
[09:32] <NForc3r> it just has "2.0" inside it but ill try
[09:32] <cafuego> DFM: So it would funtion as a drop-in replacement for exchange. of cours, it speaks webmail, pop and imap as well.
[09:32] <DFM> cafuego: I agree and don't understand it myself. He just asked and said it had to replace exchange and operate with Outlook client
[09:32] <NForc3r> comand not founhd
[09:32] <Codemaster|Mobil> NForc3r: keep looking around that binary; that should allow an auto-installer or such
[09:33] <cafuego> DFM: Sounds like what he's after then. probbaly somehting that doesn't cost as much per-seat as exchange does. There's another one too, but I forget its name...

[09:33] -NickyJam:#ubuntu-  http://st-pitch.miniville.fr/

[09:33] <NForc3r> wierd
[09:33] <astro76> !ops | NickyJam
[09:33] <arooni> where can i get: xserver-xorg-video-intel as a .deb file?  i need to put it on a flash usb drive ... because the target comptuer doesnt have internet
[09:33] <ubotu> NickyJam: Help! Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, jenda, nixternal, Myrtti or mneptok
[09:33] <NForc3r> the binary suddenly has what it wants
[09:33] <Codemaster|Mobil> haha
[09:33] <cafuego> arooni: Just a second...
[09:33] <Codemaster|Mobil> so yeah...
[09:34] <Codemaster|Mobil> anyone know why ubuntu would stop using my /etc/hosts file
[09:34] <NForc3r> oh yea... NOW download the dependences
[09:34] <arooni> thanks cafuego
[09:34] <Codemaster|Mobil> for some reason, now that i rebooted, it stopped reading it
[09:34] <Hobbsee> !staff
[09:34] <ubotu> Hey nalioth, jenda, rob, SportChick, seanw, BearPerson or ompaul! I could use a bit of your time :)
[09:34] <DFM> cafuego: zimbra looks to be the answer but it will cost $3700 I think for 1000 seats and $5800 for unlimited, which to me seams like a bargain. Don't know why they want to eliminate cost in an enterprise environment.
[09:34] <Hobbsee> oh, meh
[09:34] <cafuego> DFM: probably an idiot CIO ;-)
[09:34] <faileas> DFM: their cheap ? ;)
[09:35] <Kousotu> lol
[09:35] <DFM> Both answers true
[09:35] <Kousotu> hey Hobbsee
[09:35] <cafuego> DFM: Still, I'm pretty sure unlimited Exchange costs a wee bit more than $5800
[09:35] <DFM> Do you have to renew every year with exchange?
[09:35] <Hobbsee> hi
[09:35] <Codemaster|Mobil> i hate exchange, tbh
[09:36] <Codemaster|Mobil> sure no one knows why my /etc/hosts isn't being used?
[09:36] <dariuskane> exchange server was horrible when it started... now its still horrible but looks prettier cause MS knows if you cant make it work at leat make it look nice and people will forgive you
[09:36] <cafuego> arooni: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xserver-xorg-video-intel_1.9.94-1ubuntu3_i386.deb
[09:37] <arooni> cafuego: what other packages should i install
[09:37] <cafuego> arooni: That's it
[09:37] <cafuego> it shoudn't need any additonal ones, the rest of X will already be there.
[09:37] <vlt> Hello. After an upgrade from Edgy to Feisty the system boots to runlevel "unknown" only and no daemons are started. How can I fix this installation w/o loosing all of my user settings?
[09:37] <arooni> cafuego: it needs libc6 libdrm2, xserver-xorg-core
[09:37] <sauvin> MS ain't stupid. It KNOWS people love eye candy.
[09:37] <arooni> cafuego: do i need to bring any of those on?
[09:37] <Wiggles> is it possible to make kde apps look like gnome apps?
[09:37] <cafuego> arooni: Yes, but you already have those.
[09:38] <DFM> cafuego: I think you are right but I looked at it earlier, could have been something else that said unlimited was just under 6k which could have been per year.
[09:38] <astro76> Wiggles, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/QtGnome
[09:38] <vlt> When I run `telnint 3` (sic!) everything is fine.
[09:38] <sauvin> This is the ONLY place where Linux shoots itself in the foot, I think: it doesn't focus on eye candy. That is, if  you care about Joe Sixpack jumping on the Linux bandwagon.
[09:39] <Wiggles> astro76, thanks
[09:39] <Codemaster|Mobil> okay
[09:39] <Codemaster|Mobil> seems my problem was i forgot to revert my /etc/nsswitch.conf
[09:39] <cafuego> DFM: $4000 -> Enables creating up to 50 storage groups, with a maximum of 50 databases per Mailbox server role (whatever tf that is)
[09:39] <astro76> Codemaster|Mobil, ah ha!
[09:40] <Codemaster|Mobil> yup
[09:40] <Codemaster|Mobil> might help anyone else who is having problms
[09:40] <Codemaster|Mobil> :)
[09:40] <nanonyme> hmm
[09:40] <arooni> cafuego: ok
[09:40] <nanonyme> appears bcm43xx-fwcutter package is a bit broken :/
[09:40] <DFM> cafuego: I just noticed a price of 20k per year but I think that was for unlimited support
[09:40] <Weredragon> Can someone help me mount the windows partition in Ubuntu to dpkg a file in the cdrive?
[09:40] <astro76> nanonyme, use cafuego's package :)
[09:41] <arooni> cafuego: i inserted my usb drive... now what do i need to do to copy that debian file to my file system.... and run the installation for it?
[09:41] <cafuego> nanonyme: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/pool/feisty-cafuego/bcm43xx/bcm43xx-firmware_1.3-1ubuntu2_all.deb
[09:41] <Jordan_U> nanonyme, I have the firmware that it installs if you need it
[09:41] <nanonyme> ah
[09:41] <nanonyme> well, i installed it manually
[09:41] <cafuego> nanonyme: it needs network access
[09:41] <DFM> Weredragon: can't you just import the package from the c drive and run dpkg on your linux drive?
[09:41] <Kopfgeldjaeger> my rt73 wlan usb dongle came today :-)
[09:41] <nanonyme> it does
[09:42] <Weredragon> How would I er..do that ?
[09:42] <cafuego> arooni: Insert usb stick, see where it is mounted (/media/.. probably) and run 'sudo dpkg -i /media/usbstick/path/file....deb'
[09:42] <brownie17> hi, i currently have 7.04 installed and i wanna dual boot with winblows so i can play Age of Empires. after i've installed windows, what is the EASIEST way to reinstall GRUB?
[09:42] <nanonyme> it might even work for me but i don't know since our network is unstable
[09:43] <Jordan_U> !grub | brownie17
[09:43] <ubotu> brownie17: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:43] <Kopfgeldjaeger> brownie17: boot with the live cd, mount the drives, chroot into them and make a grub-install
[09:43] <astro76> nanonyme, I think the page it tries to get wl_apsta.o from is down
[09:43] <nanonyme> the real problem i have though is that since i installed linux on my ibook, i can't seem to get some characters (pipe, backslash, etc) out of my keyboard and i don't know how to use xmodmap...
[09:43] <nanonyme> astro76: i know, i found a mirror yesterday
[09:43] <Kopfgeldjaeger> astro76:
[09:43] <nanonyme> astro76: or not exactly down but the firmware was removed
[09:44] <nanonyme> astro76: 404 iirc
[09:44] <Kopfgeldjaeger> astro76: it is my homepage
[09:44] <Kopfgeldjaeger> if its NOT the googlepage site
[09:44] <Kopfgeldjaeger> the page thats in restricted-manager atm is my homepage (xeve.de
[09:44] <nanonyme> anyway, any mac keyboard users here? ;)
[09:44] <astro76> IIRC the package tries to use the boredlink.googlepages site
[09:44] <Weredragon> I got the windows partition monted I jst con't seem to find the path for it to dpkg from.  I know I put it in the cdrive so it'd cd /mnt/hda1/?something?
[09:44] <Jordan_U> nanonyme, Yes, why?
[09:45] <downhillgames> is it common for an ATi X300SE PCi-e to cause a kernel panic while booting the Ubuntu 7.04 LiveCD
[09:45] <downhillgames> ?
[09:45] <nanonyme> Jordan_U: i can't get some keys like | and \ out of my keymap
[09:45] <astro76> Kopfgeldjaeger, for gutsy?
[09:45] <Kopfgeldjaeger> astro76: yes
[09:45] <Kopfgeldjaeger> http://xeve.de/down/wl_apsta.o
[09:45] <downhillgames> i need to fix this...
[09:45] <astro76> Kopfgeldjaeger, nice
[09:45] <alags> hi, where can i find the videos of the talks @ ubuntulive?
[09:45] <nanonyme> Jordan_U: i can get @ though. for some reason it's not respecting the key combination for right side of the numeric buttons
[09:46] <xike> anyone know why startx would complain about "no screens found"?  I've run xorg-reconfigure with settings I know worked before, but it's not happy
[09:46] <downhillgames> hellllo :D
[09:46] <nanonyme> xike: display adapter not configured properly? monitor not configured properly?
[09:46] <nanonyme> is it an identical computer to the one you used before?
[09:47] <xike> it's the same computer :P
[09:47] <Jordan_U> nanonyme, I have a macbook pro, so no numpad, but I was actually missing keys when I was using the macbook pro keymap, but it all works with pc105
[09:47] <Kousotu> downhillgames: if no one answers, no one knows
[09:47] <xike> it says "(EE) No devices detected" and then no screens found
[09:47] <revilodraw> hi im using gnome, but seem to be running lots of things with a k in front of them in system monitor... is this normal?
[09:47] <downhillgames> Kousotu; if nobody knows, it's probably not a known thing then, eh?
[09:47] <faileas> hmmmph
[09:47] <revilodraw> downhillgames: do keep trying, as this place is very active
[09:48] <Kousotu> lol
[09:48] <sauvin> Google around. The fact that nobody HERE knows is meaningles.
[09:48] <THX-1138> xike: Is there an xorg.conf backup file you might reuse? Ubuntu has them located in /etc/X11/
[09:48] <faileas> revilodraw: its possible. Kde apps DO work in gnome
[09:48] <xike> yeah...I tried them
[09:48] <Jordan_U> xike, Did you modify your Xorg.conf before it stopped working?
[09:48] <clever> how would i test for hardware based opengl working?
[09:48] <nanonyme> Jordan_U: yeah, i have ibook. i meant rather that i can't get special meanings out of 4-0 numeric keys
[09:48] <revilodraw> faileas: yes i know but im not using any kde apps
[09:48] <astro76> downhillgames, try http://ubuntuforums.org/
[09:48] <downhillgames> how do i set my graphics driver to "vesa" while booting the LiveCD?
[09:48] <xike> I disabled the ati-restricted drivers
[09:48] <xike> then restarted
[09:48] <xike> and death :P
[09:48] <Jordan_U> clever, glxinfo | grep -i direct
[09:49] <faileas> revilodraw: or you don't think you do ;)
[09:49] <clever> k
[09:49] <Jordan_U> downhillgames, Boot into safe graphics mode
[09:49] <revilodraw> faileas: lol ookk
[09:49] <Cr0w-> hi, one question, i disabled onboard network card and installed a pci network card, but the pci is eth1, how can i change it to eth0? i only have one card avaliable
[09:49] <xike> anyway from the shell to reinstall everything that was removed when I disabled the drivers, and renable those drivers?
[09:49] <alags> hi, where can i find the videos of the talks @ ubuntulive?
[09:49] <downhillgames> Jordan_U; that sets vesa?
[09:49] <pawan> hi
[09:49] <Jordan_U> downhillgames, Or if you don't want to reboot...
[09:49] <pawan> azureus not loading
[09:49] <Jordan_U> !xconfig | downhillgames
[09:49] <ubotu> downhillgames: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[09:49] <Jordan_U> downhillgames, Yes
[09:49] <revilodraw> jordan_u: haha u helped me with my xorg problem... downhillgames, ur in good hands
[09:49] <arooni> how do i mount a usb drive
[09:49] <Weredragon> In xterm what would te file path be to cd to program files ?
[09:49] <sauvin> arooni, it should automount.
[09:50] <sauvin> "program files"?
[09:50] <Jordan_U> xike, Yes, "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx"
[09:50] <downhillgames> Jordan_U; thanks but the system isn't installed yet
[09:50] <arooni> sauvin: but if i go to:  ls /media ... i dont see anything about teh drive that mounted
[09:50] <Weredragon> sauvin: Yea, on the windows mount.
[09:50] <xike> Jordan_U: any way from the shell to reinstall everything that was removed when I disabled the drivers, and renable those drivers?
[09:50] <MarkC> revilodraw: yeah.
[09:50] <downhillgames> Jordan_U; if safe graphics mode doesn't do it, it might not _ever_ be installed :)
[09:50] <downhillgames> Fedora ftw
[09:51] <sauvin> weredragon, how did you mount the windows partition?
[09:51] <Jordan_U> downhillgames, There is little difference between the live system and an installed system, dpgk-reconfigure xserver-xorg works the same on the liveCD as on an actual install
[09:51] <downhillgames> Jordan_U; i'm familiar. it's just i've never had a kernel panic on a livecd boot before haha
[09:51] <downhillgames> Jordan_U; imho, ubuntu has gone to pot
[09:51] <Weredragon> mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
[09:51] <revilodraw> when i plug my usb fat32 device in how do i get full unadulterated control, cos changing the permissions doesnt work, they return to how they are... and i dont know how to chown
[09:51] <NForc3r> damn envy is taking ages to download the files
[09:52] <MarkC> sometimes if you run kde programs, they run up some background programs to help them do things, like KNotify for example
[09:52] <Jordan_U> downhillgames, Why do you think that the kernel panic has to do with X ?
[09:52] <downhillgames> Jordan_U; i've never, ever, ever, ever, ever had issues with this box until i added the ATi card
[09:52] <downhillgames> and even then, only Ubuntu
[09:52] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, Fat does not support permissions
[09:52] <downhillgames> seems likely enough to me
[09:52] <sauvin> !envy
[09:52] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[09:52] <astro76> Weredragon, what's the problem, you do not see files under /mnt ?
[09:52] <arooni> can someone please help me mount a usb drive
[09:52] <xike> Jordan_U: thank you.  I have colors :D
[09:52] <downhillgames> Jordan_U; w0000 safe graphics mode works. thanks ^_^
[09:53] <downhillgames> +1 support to the driver issue
[09:53] <sauvin> arooni, what kind of drive is the usb drive?
[09:53] <downhillgames> theory^
[09:53] <Jordan_U> downhillgames, No problem, stay away from ATI though :)
[09:53] <Weredragon> astro76: No I can't seem to cd to any directory
[09:53] <xike> Jordan_U: it's a laptop :(
[09:53] <arooni> sauvin: flash drive.... dmesg said it was called sbd.... but when i do ls /media.... i dont see anything (and yes i only have command line)
[09:53] <astro76> Weredragon, what are you typing exactly?
[09:54] <revilodraw> jordan_u: thank you for the beautifully straight answer... since it is an mp3 player i dont think i would be able to change the filesystem and have it still work, do u?
[09:54] <Jordan_U> xike, I am in the same boat :(
[09:54] <sauvin> That's fine, having only command line. Do a "mount" (without the quotes, no arguments)
[09:54] <gvsa123> is it absolutely safe to remove orphaned packages?
[09:55] <arooni> sauvin: ideas?
[09:55] <nanonyme> Jordan_U: did you have "nodeadkeys"?
[09:55] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, Doubtful, unless this is an iPod in which case you could format it as HFS+ which supports Unix file permissions, but write support for HFS+ in Linux is limited to having the journal disabled
[09:55] <sauvin> Arooni, do a mount (no arguments) and see if there's a reference to sbd
[09:55] <Jordan_U> nanonyme, Not that I can remember
[09:55] <sauvin> (psst, I suspect that's "sdb", and not "sbd")
[09:55] <Weredragon> astro76: 1, sudo bash 2, mount /dev/hda1 /mnt 3, cd /mnt/hda1/:c\program files Then it says No such drectory is found,
[09:56] <revilodraw> jordan_u: no its not an ipod, but im going to try anyway, since there is nothing on it at all (not even the system files, which are very easy to put on to make it work)
[09:56] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, What are you trying to do with it out of curiosity?
[09:56] <fiction> hello
[09:57] <arooni> sauvin: i dont see it
[09:57] <astro76> revilodraw, you need fmask=0077 and dmask=0077, if you click properites on the desktop icon you can set it in the volume tab
[09:57] <nanonyme> Jordan_U: could you show me your .Xmodmap if existing and tell me which key combination you do to get |?
[09:57] <astro76> revilodraw, it should also show the options it's currently using
[09:57] <revilodraw> jordan_u: well, im thinking of formatting it to a file system ubuntu can dominate, so it will basically be drag and drop
[09:57] <sauvin> arooni, do a sudo fdisk -l
[09:57] <john__> Anyone know how to get the pictures to appear on Galleon???
[09:58] <revilodraw> astro76: fmask? slow down for a n00b?
[09:58] <astro76> Weredragon, you can't start using windows drive letters and \ in linux :)
[09:58] <Jordan_U> revilodraw, So basically scrapping the mp3 player functionality?
[09:58] <astro76> Weredragon, do cd /mnt, and then do ls, you'll see what's there
[09:58] <astro76> Weredragon, you mounted it on /mnt, not /mnt/hda1
[09:59] <revilodraw> jordan_u: i would always be able to change it back, and it might just work who knows
[09:59] <arooni> sauvin: i think its on /dev/sbd
[09:59] <astro76> revilodraw, right click properties on the desktop icon and go to volume tab, you'll see
[09:59] <Weredragon> astro76: Then how do I get to a directory in the cdrive while on the windows mount?
[09:59] <arooni> sauvin: where do i go to access it
[09:59] <revilodraw> astro76: ok
[09:59] <astro76> Weredragon, /media/cdrom probably
[09:59] <sauvin> You need to mount it. I don't remember how to mount stuff so that normal users can use it :\
[10:01] <arooni> can someone tell me how to mount /dev/sbd so i can access it
[10:01] <arooni> access the file systgem
[10:02] <Jordan_U> arooni, What FS?
[10:02] <dariuskane> you have to have a partition on it first... /dev/sbd is the drive itself.... /dev/sbd1 would the first partition
[10:02] <arooni> Jordan_U: fat32
[10:03] <gvsa123> oh man! i messed up my ubuntu... i removed orphaned packages!
[10:03] <Jordan_U> arooni,Like dariuskane mentioned is there only one partition?
[10:03] <arooni> Jordan_U: yes
[10:04] <astro76> gvsa123, why is that a problem?
[10:04] <Jordan_U> arooni, sudo mkdir /media/sdb1 && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
[10:05] <gvsa123> astro76: because i lost skype, azureus, gdesklets and some other things are missing in the menus
[10:05] <haka4> shanti
[10:05] <vic1ous> fiction, hey sorry about last night my internet crashed

[10:08] <vic1ous> fiction,  i do need to figure out how to uninstall my beryl/compiz/emrald tho cause they conflict
[10:08] <fiction> bharathyd, hi...?
[10:08] <gvsa123> astro76: the problem is that i selected everything that appeared as an orphaned packages in gtkorphan so i removed a lot of things...
[10:08] <fiction> vic1ous, beryl conflicts with compiz?
[10:08] <bharathyd> heyy im having a problem with GDM and XSERVER failure
[10:08] <FireFox> this code gives an error that d cannot appear in a constant expression
[10:09] <FireFox> http://phpfi.com/256755
[10:09] <kwk> Hello! Is there a good tutorial on how to install compiz fusion on ubuntu 7.04? I tried this one, but got errors on installation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[10:09] <vic1ous> fiction,  i think its emrald thats conflicting
[10:09] <fiction> vic1ous, conflict with what?
[10:09] <astro76> gvsa123, probably shouldn't have done that ;)
[10:09] <Jordan_U> zombie_monkey, Yes, I think it will simply be called "networking" in the menu's somewhere
[10:09] <ketrox> zombie_monkey you need to install nm-appelet or sothg like that ist doesent come with xubuntu
[10:09] <gvsa123> gtkorphan even removed itself... what the hell
[10:09] <gvsa123> i know!
[10:09] <arooni> Jordan_U: um have:  mount: mount point /media/sbd1 does not exit
[10:09] <arooni> exit
[10:09] <gvsa123> i was quite happy with my installation and settings... crap
[10:09] <bharathyd> I am using UBUNTU distribution of LINUX from the past 1 month
[10:09] <bharathyd> Now I am facing a problem and I actually tried to solve it out byseeing the threads but i couldnt do it
[10:09] <bharathyd> Can any one please help...the problem is...
[10:09] <bharathyd> When I am starting the system Im seeing this error message
[10:09] <bharathyd> Failed to start the Xserver (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not setup correctly. Would you like to view the X-server output to diagnoise the problem
 <NO>
[10:09] <bharathyd> then i clicked YES, its showing
[10:09] <bharathyd> X: cannot stat /tmp/.X11-unix (Permission denied),aborting
[10:09] <astro76> gvsa123, settings are not removed
[10:09] <bharathyd> Can any one please help me what to do.....
[10:09] <revilodraw> jordan_u: it appears reformatting it will not be necessary... i formatted it fat32 using a windows computer (didnt know how to do it in linux), thedn copied the system files back on after changing the file permissions so everything is read write... now i can drag and drop in linux and play them, and also use as a storage dev without any troubles
[10:09] <bharathyd> __________________
[10:09] <vic1ous> fiction,  if i run the window manager in beryl / emrald i dont get any task bars so i cant move/minimize stuff
[10:10] <Jordan_U> arooni, You are not running the command I typed, copy and paste it
[10:10] <Jordan_U> arooni, sudo mkdir /media/sdb1 && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
[10:10] <fiction> bharathyd, do you have an nvidia card?
[10:10] <gvsa123> i don't know if it still matters which one's were preserved... it's messed up... arrrgggg... now i'm going to do another clean install... crap
[10:10] <arooni> Jordan_U: im typoing the line when i try to type it in the channell..... when i type it on my comp its all right
[10:10] <fiction> vic1ous, ooo, you need to add somethign to your xorg.conf
[10:10] <haka4> shasa
[10:10] <arooni> and its sdb1 not sbd1
[10:10] <gvsa123> and my 7.04 live cd doesn;t work
[10:10] <sauvin> bharathyd, you wouldn't happen to be trying to log on as root, would you?
[10:10] <fiction> vic1ous, because of nvidia, let me look, ill show yuo
[10:10] <bharathyd> no i have a graphic card slot in my VIA mothernoard , but i dont have any graphics card
[10:10] <gvsa123> so i'd have to install 6.10, and then upgrade online
[10:11] <vic1ous> ok =] 
[10:11] <haka4> caca
[10:11] <bharathyd> heyy idid it as a root user
[10:11] <zombie_monkey> ok, I have nm-applet running
[10:11] <bharathyd> Heyy to be clear ....my system worked normally as usual upto yesterday
[10:11] <bharathyd> While I was playing A game called PLANETS PENGUIN RACER...some body pinged me through GAIM
[10:11] <bharathyd> and suddenly my system got struck. When I restarted ...I got this problem
[10:11] <bharathyd> I am now running through DEBIAN which i already have as dual boot.
[10:11] <bharathyd> Now thing peculiar I observed is while accesing the UBUNTU file system I cannot see /tmp folder
[10:11] <bharathyd> but a file named tmp is there but im unable to access it.
[10:11] <bharathyd> By seeing some posts in forum regarding Xserver error
[10:11] <haka4> santi
[10:11] <bharathyd> I tried thsi command through root in the terminal window
[10:11] <arooni> Jordan_U: ideas?
[10:11] <bharathyd> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ...and there is no use of it
[10:11] <bharathyd> then i did root@ubunsys# vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:11] <bharathyd> and i changed graphics driver to vesa instead of savage.... and then did gdm restart
[10:11] <bharathyd> then also there is no use.
[10:12] <astro76> !enter | bharathyd
[10:12] <ubotu> bharathyd: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[10:12] <fiction> vic1ous, open your xorg.conf as a superuse so you can edit it
[10:12] <zombie_monkey> I get the options "wired network>" and "manual configuration"
[10:12] <gvsa123> does anyone know what happened about the issue of the live cd install getting stuck at 15% ?
[10:12] <Jordan_U> arooni, You keep mentioning /media/sBD1 here what you need is /media/sDB1 ( "d" first ) same with /dev/sdb1
[10:12] <bharathyd> ok sorry ubotu
[10:12] <fiction> bharathyd, do you have an nvidia card?
[10:12] <bharathyd> no fiction i dont have
[10:12] <|WingNut|> I need help getting a Linux driver for an ancient ATI card
[10:12] <gvsa123> does anyone know what happened about the issue of the live cd install getting stuck at 15% in fiesty fawn i mean
[10:12] <fiction> bharathyd, ati?
[10:12] <vic1ous> fiction,  ok dont
[10:12] <vic1ous> fiction,  ok done*
[10:13] <bharathyd> mine is savage
[10:13] <fiction> vic1ous, find where Section "Screen" is, where you added custom resolution
[10:13] <fiction> bharathyd, cant help you then =( sorry
[10:13] <dariuskane> bharathyd make sure when you do "ls -la /" make sure your tmp folder looks like "drwxrwxrwt  12 root root  4096 2007-08-17 02:13 tmp"
[10:13] <ketrox> zombie_monkey do you see your card when you type iwconfig in a terminal ?
[10:13] <arooni> Jordan_U: ah ok i foinally got it.....  but when i do a ls oln it... its not finding the .deb file
[10:13] <Thunor> Does anyone know of any Linux torrent clients?
[10:13] <arooni> thats onthe drive
[10:13] <nigname> how do i mv directories?
[10:13] <Weredragon> I decided to put the packages onto a usb drive and when i try to install it fails, don't know why
[10:13] <zombie_monkey> ketrox: no
[10:13] <astro76> gvsa123, all the packages you've installed should be in /var/cache/apt/archives/ unless you've cleaned it
[10:13] <vic1ous> fiction,  found it
[10:13] <fiction> Thunor, ktorrent
[10:13] <Thunor> fiction: Thanks =)
[10:13] <gvsa123> thunor: azureus. but you have to have the latest java
[10:13] <fiction> vic1ous, now see where it says DefaultDepth     24  ?
[10:14] <bharathyd> hmm well thank u for replying fiction...it doesnt bother...will find soem one else
[10:14] <astro76> !torrent | Thunor
[10:14] <gvsa123> astro76: well i probably selected that also...
[10:14] <ubotu> Thunor: Torrent clients: Azureus (Java), BitTornado (Shell with python front-end), KTorrent (KDE/Qt), rTorrent (C++) -  Bittorent FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html
[10:14] <zombie_monkey> ketrox: lo, eht0 - no iwreless extensions
[10:14] <vic1ous> fiction,  yes
[10:14] <fiction> vic1ous, right below that, add  Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
[10:14] <Thunor> So Ktorrent only works on KDE?
[10:14] <fiction> bharathyd, alrighty. but its a problem with the way your xorg.conf is setup.
[10:14] <fiction> Thunor, no
[10:14] <|WingNut|> !driver
[10:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about driver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:14] <zombie_monkey> in the applet there are only two connection entries, the wired connection and the modem
[10:14] <gvsa123> Thunor: azureus has a lot of quirks... like shutting it down first before logging out or shutting down the system.. i still use it though
[10:14] <bharathyd> heyy dariuskane...can i do that through the terminal in debian...can i access the file system of ubuntu
[10:14] <|WingNut|> !radeon
[10:14] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:14] <arooni> Jordan_U: um so wwhat to do now
[10:15] <vic1ous> fiction,  with the quotes?
[10:15] <fiction> Thunor, ktorrent wors on ubuntu to
[10:15] <fiction> vic1ous, with
[10:15] <ketrox> zombie_monkey your card is not proporly installed then
[10:15] <Jordan_U> zombie_monkey, lo is loopback device ( localhost ) and eth0 sounds like an ethernet card not a wireless card, so your wireless card is probably not being detected
[10:15] <Thunor> Thanks
[10:15] <dariuskane> youd have to mount your ubuntu drive to see it
[10:15] <bharathyd> yeah fiction . i guess that
[10:15] <gvsa123> astro76: what about the issue of the fiesty installer hanging in 15%?
[10:15] <Thunor> It works
[10:15] <vic1ous> fiction,  ok done log out of x and back in now?
[10:15] <fiction> bharathyd, go through your xorg.conf and see if anything doesnt look right
[10:15] <astro76> gvsa123, I've never heard of that
[10:15] <Jordan_U> arooni, Did you re-run the commands and did it run without errors?
[10:15] <fiction> vic1ous, yes, just restart. press control + alt + backspace
[10:15] <bharathyd> yeah im trying that now
[10:16] <fiction> =] 
[10:16] <fiction> bharathyd, were you here last night?
[10:16] <dariuskane> can't stat usually means file permissions are wrong somewhere and it cant access the file
[10:16] <bharathyd> no
[10:16] <bharathyd> thsi is the first  tiem im using X chat
[10:16] <bharathyd> so i dont know the rules even how to post
[10:16] <fiction> bharathyd, oh okay
[10:16] <gvsa123> astro76: i never got to use the cd i created because of that... it's also in the forums... but i haven't checked on the issue recently since i just do a 6.10  install and update online
[10:16] <gvsa123> upgrade i mean
[10:17] <ketrox> zombie_monkey i don't know if u can do it from live cd enabling restricted driver usually require reboot
[10:17] <fiction> bharathyd, tip: when talking t someone here in irc, put their name first. type the first letters of their username and press tab. see what happens
[10:17] <arooni> Jordan_U: says: cannot create directory /media/sbd1: file exists
[10:17] <bharathyd> fiction,
[10:17] <bharathyd> fiction, ok done
[10:17] <fiction> bharathyd, see, easy huh? dont have to copy and paste their names
[10:18] <Jordan_U> zombie_monkey, While you *can* enable restricted drivers from the liveCD if you then install X will crash on the installed system until you also install the restricted drivers on the installed system
[10:18] <haka4> sasha
[10:18] <fiction> bharathyd, when you put someones name in the sentence, itll be easier for them to find (usually in red, example), and if their irc client is minimized, it will blink so they know someone is talking tot hem
[10:18] <bharathyd> fiction,  and if i have a problem of more than 10 lines how shud i post in a single one...how the buddies understand that
[10:18] <Jordan_U> zombie_monkey, Install Ubuntu to the hard drive that is
[10:18] <_nixMan> how do i make a disk bootable?
[10:18] <vic1ous> fiction,  it crashed x from comin back up i had to take it out again
[10:18] <arooni> Jordan_U: any ideas?
[10:18] <_nixMan> i have a boot partition on it but its not booting
[10:18] <zombie_monkey> I suppose I'm better off just installing ubuntu first then
[10:19] <fiction> bharathyd, try to keep it simple in 3 lines. if it's a code thing, use a pastebin. for example, if you want others to look at your xorg.conf, copy and paste it to www.pastebin.ca (or the pastebin of your choice)
[10:19] <esben> Anyone that knows a way to install xrandr 1.2 without upgrading to gutsy?
[10:19] <fiction> vic1ous, pastebin your xorg.conf
[10:19] <vic1ous> fiction,  i dunno what that means lol
[10:20] <Jordan_U> arooni, What is the name of the drive ( /dev/what ? )
[10:20] <dariuskane> esben... when in doubt.. compile the binaries yourself :)
[10:20] <fiction> www.pastebin.ca, copy and paste yoru xorg.conf there so i can look at it
[10:20] <ceil420> [amsg]  Sorry, but it seems that iPerl's seen database was recently wiped. I don't know when it happened or how, but let's just hope it doesn't happen again? >< (peace'n'love)
[10:20] <arooni> Jordan_U: /dev/sbd
[10:20] <arooni> Jordan_U: should i try reformatrting as ext3
[10:20] <zombie_monkey> ok, thanks everyone!
[10:20] <ketrox> zombie_monkey yes that's better
[10:21] <Jordan_U> arooni, Sorry, that was why I was confused, what you first said was /dev/sdb
[10:21] <esben> dariuskane: yes, but before going down the road I would like to know if I will be able to just recompile xrandr or if I will have to recompile all my x.org packages or if even more will have to go with it...
[10:21] <NForc3r> hey guys
[10:21] <dariuskane> bharathyd, did you check the file permission of your ubuntu tmp and .Xorg file?
[10:21] <NForc3r> i got my nvidia card driver install and am running the desktop effects and all but i cant change the reso to what i need it to be
[10:21] <abbeep> could ubuntu be installed on my computer(cpu AMD Athlon64 2800+,motherboard MGF6100,harddisk sata 80g)?
[10:21] <arooni> Jordan_U: am i not saying the same thing as before?  /  i *mean* sdb!!!!!!!!!!1 i cant type!
[10:21] <THX-1138>  - Is it possible Ubuntu made a numbered backup xorg.conf file you can reuse?  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.###
[10:22] <dariuskane> esben, best place for that info would be the xrandr site
[10:22] <NForc3r> ?
[10:22] <Kousotu> abbeep: yes
[10:22] <bharathyd> dariuskane, yeah im dong that friend...just wait
[10:22] <NForc3r> how would i change my reso to something not in the settings
[10:22] <Kousotu> abbeep: What gfx card?
[10:22] <fiction> vic1ous, ?
[10:22] <NForc3r> ???
[10:22] <esben> dariuskane: the xrandr site?
[10:22] <vic1ous> fiction,  yes?
[10:23] <fiction> vic1ous, did you paste it?
[10:23] <NForc3r> ?
[10:23] <fiction> vic1ous, www.pastebin.ca, copy and paste yoru xorg.conf there so i can look at it

[10:24] <Kousotu> graphics
[10:24] <Kousotu> techy spelling lol
[10:24] <THX-1138> NForc3r,  -  sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak + a number you choose gksudo gedit /etc/X11/vorg.conf
[10:24] <dariuskane> esben, I havent used xrandr... but just looked.. its a lib for X... not independant of X... so the entire X will most likely be necessary to update
[10:24] <vic1ous> fiction,  how do i copy the whole thing lol
[10:25] <abbeep> nVIDIA Geforce61
[10:25] <bharathyd> dariuskane,  heyy its loooking like this drwxrwxrwt  11 root root  4096 2007-08-17 13:32 tmp

[10:25] <ubotu> abbeep: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:25] <dariuskane> ok that right.. what about .X file inside the tmp
[10:25] <fiction> vic1ous, when you open your xorg.conf, go to "Edit" > "select all".
[10:25] <Kousotu> and use the alternate install
[10:25] <dariuskane> .X something cant remember what your error was
[10:26] <vic1ous> fiction,  mm what do you use i been usin nano and there isnt a select all
[10:26] <bharathyd> dariuskane, drwxrwxrwt  11 root root  4096 2007-08-17 13:32 tmp

[10:27] <fiction> Does anyone know how i can view the sourcecode for gconf?
[10:27] <THX-1138> abbeep - Who prepared the DVD image and what is added too it?
[10:28] <bharathyd> dariuskane, heyy while accessing the ubuntu filesystem through debian i dont see the /tmp directory...instead i see a file named tmp and i couldnt open that
[10:28] <fiction> vic1ous, having trouble? lol
[10:28] <vic1ous> fiction, there is no select all in nano lol =[
[10:28] <fiction> vic1ous, how are you viewing your xorg.conf? in terminal?
[10:29] <vic1ous> fiction,  yea
[10:29] <dariuskane> bharathyd, thats odd you should see the tmp dir in your root ubuntu partition
[10:29] <fiction> vic1ous, open a new terminal and type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[10:29] <abbeep> i can download dvd from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.04/release/
[10:30] <dariuskane> bharathyd, where did you mount your ubuntu partition
[10:30] <bharathyd> dariuskane, heyy but im seeing all other file system directories except /tmp
[10:30] <Tarelerulz_man> I can't get internet on ubuntu . It all ways has 192 ip based ip and the window computer has 67.171.220.150 and it gets net
[10:30] <vic1ous> fiction,  http://www.pastebin.ca/660765
[10:30] <abbeep> is alernate install easy to use
[10:30] <Arafangion> Tarelerulz_man: You mean, the windows machine has two network connections, one to a 192.168.x.x lan, and the other to the internet?
[10:30] <teKnofreak> which module should I import to implement the timer-object (Timer) as in this - http://docs.python.org/lib/timer-objects.html ?
[10:31] <teKnofreak> err...
[10:31] <teKnofreak> sorry
[10:31] <dariuskane> Tarelerulz_man, sounds like your ubuntu installation isnt getting an IP using DHCP and it gets a default
[10:31] <THX-1138> vic1ous,  apologies thought you might of enabled VESA mode and a generic video card/monitor after not seeing the desktop.
[10:31] <Arafangion> dariuskane: I don't think Ubuntu has such a default behaviour.
[10:31] <bharathyd> dariuskane, i didnnt get wt do u mean by that
[10:31] <THX-1138> vic1ous, gedit needs a desktop.
[10:31] <fiction> vic1ous, let me ask you something
[10:31] <Tarelerulz_man> I mean my ubuntu computer has 192 based one and my windows computer has 67.171.220.150 and it gets internet
[10:31] <fiction> vic1ous, youre running twinview yea?
[10:31] <dariuskane> Arafangion, the default is DHCP during the install
[10:31] <astro76> Tarelerulz_man, what is connected to your modem?
[10:32] <vic1ous> fiction,  no
[10:32] <Tarelerulz_man> I have linksys rounter
[10:32] <vic1ous> fiction,  my graphics card supports it
[10:32] <Arafangion> dariuskane: Yes, but if it doesn't get a DHCP response, it doesn't go on a limb and blindly pick an IP address.
[10:32] <fiction> vic1ous, oh okay. nvm =[. i am and its a little buggy for me so i was wondering if its for you too. but nvm
[10:32] <abbeep> is alernate install easy to use?
[10:32] <astro76> Tarelerulz_man, both windows and linux machines are plugged into the router?
[10:32] <Tarelerulz_man> Yes they are bother pluged into the same router
[10:32] <vic1ous> fiction,  twinview as in multiple monitors right?
[10:32] <RouteWay> hello, i have 2 firewalls mashines with linux - old one and new one. Can i somehow copy easy way old firewall routing tables?
[10:32] <fiction> vic1ous, yes
[10:33] <astro76> Tarelerulz_man, both computers should have 192.168. addresses and be working, I have no idea why you are getting your public IP through to the windows machine
[10:33] <Arafangion> astro76: The router's probably in bridged mode.
[10:33] <dariuskane> Arafangion, there is a set range of private ips that are used when no dhcp response is received 169.254.0.0 -169.254.255.255
[10:33] <Arafangion> dariuskane: Doesn't mean I like it.
[10:33] <astro76> Tarelerulz_man, have you changed from default settings in the router?
[10:34] <Tarelerulz_man> I put it back to factor ,but it was getting that kind of ip before I did that
[10:34] <bharathyd> dariuskane, r u there
[10:34] <dariuskane> bharathyd, your ubuntu is installed on a different partition.. your using which OS right now?
[10:35] <bharathyd> dariuskane,  thank u...im using debian right now
[10:35] <fiction> vic1ous, did you add the 1920x1200 resolution manuually?
[10:35] <dariuskane> bharathyd, ok and ubuntu is installed where
[10:35] <vic1ous> fiction,  well i did but then i found out nvidia xserver did it automaticaly

[11:19] <vlt> Hello. After an upgrade from Edgy to Feisty the system boots to runlevel "unknown" only and no daemons are started. When I run `telinit 3` (sic!) everything is fine. How can I fix this installation w/o loosing all of my user settings?
[11:20] <Tarelerulz_man> is sharing with windows comman or I am the only one that wants to do that
[11:20] <urilock> I finally got compiz installed and working. But my cube is a 2d square even if I have 4 desktops running. Any help?
[11:20] <predaeus> robert_, what are you trying to achieve, as far as I know 127.0.0.1 is the internal ip address of your computer. so if 1.2.3.4 is your external one then it will be routed to 127.0.0.1 automatically.
[11:20] <vic1ous> fiction,  brb restarting x now
[11:21] <sauvin> 127.0.0.1 is called the "loopback device".
[11:22] <predaeus> oh yes, sauvin is probably more correct
[11:22] <PuteriKuSyg> hi
[11:22] <Jordan_U> vlt, There is almost certainly a way to do a proper fix, but if you are desperate you can backup your /home and your package selection and you can then re-install with all your user settings / files and packages installed

[11:30] <dlx> hi, i have a dual head setup and just plugged in another monitor, now my second screen is always black except in the terminal. this seems to be unrelated to linux because i have the same problem if i boot windows. does anyone have any idea what the reason for this could be?

[11:32] <ubotu> azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo
[11:32] <THX-1138> dlx - had similar troubles - nvidia-settings was able to overcome it. - didn't see what card you are using?
[11:32] <snadg3> can anyone tell me why its complaining that i should fix my java version from 1.4.2? (feisty)
[11:32] <dlx> my card is a geforce 6600 gt
[11:33] <snadg3> azureus is not downloading torrents :(
[11:33] <dlx> i already tried reconfiguring and reinstalling the nvidia drivers but nothing changed
[11:33] <IrishDave> hey does anyone know the name of the program that give me the network control tool in the top right corner in gnome? it seems to have disappeared
[11:33] <dlx> and as far as i can tell it works...but not under x
[11:34] <THX-1138> dls - xorg.conf needs another "screen" added to it. - pardon me for being vague it is has been some months.
[11:35] <urilock> can anyone help me turn my square desktop cube into a cube?
[11:35] <dlx> well, it doesn't work with windows too so i guess it's more likely to be hardware related i have just no idea what the cause for this could be...
[11:35] <THX-1138> dls - nvidia-settings should help you configure it quickly and graphically as a single omission or typo in xorg.conf will make it unusable.
[11:35] <VoX> urilock: ...there are non-square cubes now?
[11:36] <KyleYankan> Hypercubes, perhaps?
[11:36] <cploosh> urilock : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-beryl-with-latest-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu-feisty-fawn.html
[11:36] <LiberCogito> urilock: open a window.
[11:36] <urilock> its meant to be a cube when i go CTRL + ALT + drag or left or right
[11:36] <cploosh> is this wat you are looking for
[11:37] <urilock> if i drag and drop a window it stays on the same window
[11:37] <urilock> even though i have 4
[11:37] <dlx> i just don't get how it's possible that the monitor displays everything perfectly in the terminal and in bios but not when the gui is running...
[11:38] <THX-1138> dlx - It gave me problems too googled everything even kernel mods - trust me nvidia-settings stands a VERY good chance of writing exactly the xorg.conf you need and easily.
[11:38] <Tarelerulz_man> any of you had problem sharing samba shares with windows ? I  installed samba and then use the gui tool that come with ubuntu share my home folder and No thing
[11:38] <dlx> THX-1138, thx i really appreciate you help, however the problem also exists on windows os
[11:38] <dlx> so i doubt that it's caused by the xorg.conf
[11:40] <THX-1138> dlx - you have piqued my curiosity. Does lshw or lspci "see" your second monitor?
[11:41] <dlx> yeah, in the terminal both monitors display the same content, as is the case when booting, however, upon start of x11 (or winows) the second screen goes black, although it clearly gets a signal
[11:42] <THX-1138> dlx - I am pretty sure the "Screen" section of xorg.conf needs a proper edit.
[11:42] <StnD> dlx, i agree w. THX
[11:43] <StnD> sounds like it's the xorg.conf
[11:43] <THX-1138> dlx - Are you using "nvidia" as your display driver?
[11:43] <dlx> yes
[11:44] <THX-1138> dlx - Okay.
[11:44] <Veriado> cool
[11:44] <scubacoles> Hi all, wanting to know if there is any way I can auto mount my HFS+ partition, currently I have to enter an Admin password
[11:44] <dlx> my xorg.conf looks exactly like it was with the old monitor...
[11:44] <Jordan_U> scubacoles, Yes, just add it to your fstab
[11:45] <exodos> I have problem with ltsp logging when i'm using sabayon. /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60sabayon_apply runs /usr/sbin/sabayon-apply which return 1 if profile is not specified for current user.
[11:45] <Jordan_U> !hfs+ | scubacoles
[11:45] <ubotu> scubacoles: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[11:45] <StnD> dlx, yes, it needs to have the second screen added to it
[11:45] <dlx> yeah it's already configured for dual head
[11:45] <exodos> this stops whole Xsession script as there is set -e at the begginig. Is is ok?
[11:45] <dlx> i just plugged in another monitor...
[11:45] <dlx> they're both even the same resolution, same refresh rate etc
[11:46] <Veriado> how to copy music from cds to the harddisk?=)
[11:46] <Jordan_U> dlx, To be sure, you restarted X after connecting the second monitor?
[11:46] <SlimeyPe1e> Veriado: using a ripper program such as grip
[11:46] <Jordan_U> dlx, In Gutsy it won't be required but it still is in Feisty
[11:47] <dlx> yeah, i restarted a few times while reinstalling and reconfiguring the nvidia drivers but that didn't change anything

[12:00] <rgrig> is there a more specific room where i can ask questions about pcmcia&ubuntu?
[12:00] <smi> Is there a console based musicplayer that I could stream to a icecast server ?
[12:03] <NForc3r> grr
[12:03] <NForc3r> why is it that when i get wine it downloads me version 9.33 and the latest is 9.43
[12:04] <NForc3r> i go to the winehq website and follow all the instructions and everything
[12:04] <NForc3r> sudo apt-get install wine after the repositories
[12:04] <NForc3r> and it still downloads that version of wine
[12:05] <vlt> Jordan_U: I'd rather fix the problem than doing a complete clean install. Any idea how?
[12:05] <ZAKhan> i have 2 ethernet cards in my pc how do i team them to act as one?
[12:06] <vlt> ZAKhan: What exactly does "act as one" mean here?
[12:06] <ZAKhan> vlt, to assing one ip to both of them
[12:06] <laskar> halo
[12:07] <Jordan_U> vlt, Can you restate your problem?
[12:07] <ZAKhan> like under windows 2 or more ethernet can be teamed as one
[12:07] <vlt> Jordan_U: After an upgrade from Edgy to Feisty the system boots to runlevel "unknown" only and no daemons are started. When I run `telinit 3` (sic!) everything is fine.
[12:08] <NForc3r> do u guys know how to get rid of cedega
[12:08] <vlt> Jordan_U: `telinit 2` doesn't help, `runlevel` still returns "unknown" then.
[12:08] <Jordan_U> vlt, Did you upgrade with update manager or manually with apt-get dist-upgrade?
[12:08] <NForc3r> ??
[12:08] <vlt> Jordan_U: upgrade-manager (adept asked me after normal update if I wanted to)
[12:09] <NForc3r> guys?
[12:09] <jak> Can anyone help me installing Adobe reader ?
[12:09] <jmumo> KE ACES
[12:09] <jmdc> I have many jpegs with incorrect exif creation dates. I'd like to correct them as best I can so that f-spot and digikam and other tools that organize jpegs by dates are more useful. Are there good tools that will solve this problem?
[12:10] <vlt> ZAKhan: As kind of failover?
[12:10] <jak> I have unpacked the tar.gz file and im left with a INSTALL file, im having problems running it as root
[12:10] <ZAKhan> vlt, no as a bridge
[12:10] <twager> Anyone any comments on the Brother laser printer range ?
[12:11] <vlt> ZAKhan: aah, a bridge. I see. I think you need brctl or similar to assign several devices to a brX device.
[12:11] <mani_> join #ltp
[12:11] <Jordan_U> vlt, Then this is less likely the problem, but try running "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ( from a chroot if you need to ) as when upgrading manually it is needed to be run twice to fully transition from sysVinit to Upstart, but update-manager should have taken care of that
[12:11] <mani_> #join #ltp
[12:11] <dimitris> gia
[12:11] <Jordan_U> vlt, Oh, nvm I thought you said Dapper -> Edgy
[12:11] <jak> anyone?
[12:12] <vlt> Jordan_U: I'll try.

[12:12] <vlt> Jordan_U: I won't.
[12:12] <ZAKhan> vlt, is there a howto?
[12:12] <vlt> ZAKhan: Don't know any. Maybe in the ubuntu wiki.
[12:12] <jmdc> jak: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AcrobatHowTo
[12:13] <Jordan_U> vlt, It probably won't do anything, and it will prompt you before it does anyways, so try it and see what it wants to install / remove if anything.

[12:13] <DennisG> When i use the fglrx driver for my ati radeon 9550 card, my monitor says NO SIGNAL, and i cant find any errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34040/
[12:13] <vlt> ZAKhan: I think you need to install the pkg "bridge-utils" and read its manpages.
[12:14] <vlt> Jordan_U: I'll try.
[12:14] <Jordan_U> DennisG, Do you know if the resolution and refresh rates are set correctly?

[12:31] <dlx> i'm curently using xmms on linux, winamp on windows, however i'm missing the media library feature of winamp 5, anyone know of a linux equivalent?
[12:31] <larson9999> hmmm, for some reason flash seems to have quit crashing this computer.
[12:31] <jrib> dlx: what features?
[12:31] <B52doc> Amarok
[12:31] <dlx> the media library and management of playlists...
[12:31] <bullgard4> I am told that one could export a data bank table, which is stored in OO.o dB*.odb, via Calc to csv format: "Call the shortcut menu, select 'Copy'." If I move the cursor on the OO.o Base table and right-click, there does not appear a shortcut menu but rather an ofer to copy the current table field to the clipboard. The main menu of tb* does not offer an export function either.
[12:31] <jrib> dlx: oh, if you just want a library try amarok like dlx said
[12:32] <jrib> B52doc said*
[12:32] <dlx> ok i will look into it thx

[01:33] <Davo_Dinkum> J-_: "cat /proc/cpuinfo" will tell you about the CPU
[01:33] <Satyr> revilodraw: Yup.
[01:33] <revilodraw> and u have the essid and the wep key correct...and the type of network etc
[01:34] <Satyr> I, uh don't know.
[01:34] <tureklai> is there any chance that i can bind a specific network interface to a specific application?
[01:34] <revilodraw> satyr: just to let u know im no genius, but i might be able to help

[01:35] <revilodraw> satyr: have u ever gone into the modem interface page
[01:35] <Satyr> No.
[01:35] <Satyr> Just the network settings
[01:36] <revilodraw> satyr: google for 'linksys interface' and hopefully u will get some numbers... eg mine are 192.168.1.1 i put them in my browser and a screen comes up asking for username and password
[01:36] <varustah> try .0.1 also
[01:37] <Satyr> I did ipconfig while in windows and I have those
[01:37] <teKnofreak> Does "apt-get uprade <package>" just upgrades that particular package or does "apt-get dist upgrade" ?
[01:37] <Satyr> The static IP
[01:37] <dragon> teKnofreak: apt-get update does the apt sources.list upgrate and that's it,
[01:37] <tureklai> revilodraw maybe u know how to bind specific network IF to specific app
[01:38] <teKnofreak> dragon, "upgrade" not update
[01:38] <EvilDin_> hi when i start ubuntu, it loads and then some to console where you can login but then some programs are runed and are displayed over that filed for loging and doesn't look nice, probably is sth wrong with process ordering, what can i do?
[01:38] <dragon> teKnofreak: man apt
[01:38] <Satyr> And I input all of those numbers into the network settings dalog
[01:38] <tureklai> t
[01:38] <revilodraw> satyr: no this is just seeing if you can talk to the modem or not...in your browser type in 192.168.1.1 and tell me what happens
[01:39] <teKnofreak> dragon, am trying to upgrade only "amarok", running "apt-get upgrade amarok" tries to upgrade all installed packages
[01:39] <revilodraw> tureklai: sorry but i have no idea what u mean, let alone being able to fix it lol
[01:39] <dragon> teKnofreak: man apt =)
[01:39] <dragon> you'll learn
[01:39] <teKnofreak> dragon, ok ok :)
[01:39] <Davo_Dinkum> revilodraw: You need to do "apt-get install amarok"
[01:40] <Satyr> Could not establish connection to the server
[01:40] <tureklai> revilodraw lol two lan connections, both have internet.. i need one application to use one lan connection, and the rest of apps use the other lan conn
[01:40] <sayanriju> teKnofreak: apt-get install amarok
[01:40] <dragon> if it upgrade those packages is because the program needs them to upgrade
[01:40] <revilodraw> satyr: ok well is ur wireless symbol flashing or illuminated?

[01:41] <Satyr> the computer I'm workng on, is a desktop
[01:42] <Satyr> With a usb wireless g-card
[01:42] <itguru> After having a massive LAN party last night, go belly up, because I let someone else run the servers, we wanna have a revival of some old skool multi-player  FPS - any ideas
[01:42] <tureklai> revilodraw yes many do, but nooone know the answer
[01:42] <tureklai> i am searching for an answer for two days, cant find it..
[01:43] <Geek_> itguru: can't go wrong with ID's stuff ;)
[01:43] <revilodraw> satyr: never used a desktop with wireless sorry, and pardon me for saying so, but i dont really see the point...unless you have multiple computers in your house
[01:43] <THX-1138> it guru run a preset qemu/vmware disk image?
[01:43] <Geek_> Satyr: what make, type?
[01:43] <Satyr> Yea, we have four...
[01:43] <revilodraw> tureklai: what prog u want to use the 1st connection?
[01:43] <PriceChild> tureklai, so you have a gateway on each lan connection?
[01:44] <THX-1138> load it from an external usb drive?
[01:44] <Satyr> Geek_: You mean desktop or wireless g-card?
[01:44] <tureklai> PriceChild exactly, diffrent IPs..
[01:44] <Geek_> wireless G card
[01:44] <tureklai> on internet
[01:44] <Geek_> desktop doen't atter
[01:44] <PriceChild> tureklai, so what application needs to use the "different" gateway?
[01:44] <Satyr> I did test it on VMware first and it auto-cnnected.
[01:44] <Satyr> Linksys
[01:44] <PriceChild> tureklai, is there no way in it to change proxy etc. ?
[01:44] <tureklai> PriceChild lets say flashget.
[01:44] <Geek_> which means it should work
[01:44] <suupaabaka_> I've asked a question in #ubuntu-effects and it seems most people are idle there, so I'll ask it here. Videos don't play when I enable Desktop Effects. Is there a workaround?
[01:44] <Satyr> It should.
[01:44] <Geek_> yup, linksys almost always works ;)
[01:45] <Satyr> But it doesn't
[01:45] <tureklai> PriceChild my two lan connections have diffrent internet speeds.
[01:45] <Geek_> bleh :(
[01:45] <findmewhere> Hello
[01:45] <PriceChild> tureklai, so does flashget let you change the proxy/default gateway in its options ?
[01:45] <findmewhere> I am interested to open port 22,
[01:45] <Satyr> Maybe I'm doin something wrong?
[01:45] <findmewhere> How can I do it?
[01:45] <tureklai> PriceChild but the one which has a higher speed than other, has only 80/443 port open
[01:45] <tureklai> ed
[01:45] <tureklai> .
[01:45] <findmewhere> Is there any specific command?
[01:45] <PriceChild> findmewhere, you don't open a port.
[01:45] <PriceChild> findmewhere, you install a server that listens on it.
[01:46] <PriceChild> findmewhere, what do you really want to do?
[01:46] <Geek_> gah
[01:46] <tureklai> PriceChild if would do that i wouldnt sit here and ask questions :)
[01:46] <tureklai> it
[01:46] <tureklai> it*
[01:46] <Geek_> i just had a IRC server go belly up after a power outage
[01:46] <findmewhere> PriceChild: how I can enable port 22?
[01:46] <Geek_> i spent a day getting it up ><
[01:46] <sayanriju> suupaabaka_: try searching ubuntuforums...i thnk i saw sumthng there
[01:46] <Geek_> findmewhere: for SSH?
[01:46] <PriceChild> findmewhere, no.... what do you _really_ want to do?
[01:46] <findmewhere> Yes
[01:46] <PriceChild> findmewhere, so you want to install an ssh server?
[01:46] <Geek_> install openssh-server
[01:46] <findmewhere> I need that people will be able to connect my box through ssh
[01:46] <BetaTester> Hi. Anybody familiar with GhostScript here? Please respond if any.
[01:47] <PriceChild> findmewhere, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[01:47] <suupaabaka_> sayanriju: Will do.
[01:47] <Geek_> <3 openssh ;)
[01:47] <tureklai> PriceChild so got any ideas?
[01:47] <tureklai> got two working lan connections
[01:47] <tureklai> both with internet
[01:47] <findmewhere> If I don't have sound, what can be the problem?
[01:48] <tureklai> but my all apps just using one.
[01:48] <findmewhere> I am using Sony Vaio
[01:48] <Geek_> findmewhere: dosen't matter
[01:48] <tureklai> how can i manage some apps to use diffrent lan connection
[01:48] <PriceChild> tureklai, Yeah I've just gave said.... in the options of "flashget", can you specify a different proxy/gateway
[01:48] <tureklai> for internet access
[01:48] <PriceChild> !sound | findmewhere
[01:48] <ubotu> findmewhere: 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
[01:48] <Pici> BetaTester: I'm not familiar.  But... if you dont get a response here you could try in #ghostscript
[01:48] <Geek_> ahh
[01:48] <Geek_> oops ;)
[01:48] <else> http://www.codejacked.com/restarting-windows-without-restarting-your-pc-vista-or-xp/
[01:48] <tureklai> PriceChild wtf u r talking about, i need not a proxy i need to use other lan connection..
[01:48] <Geek_> dosen't matter was vaio and openssh not viao and sound ;)
[01:49] <else> is there anything like this for linux?
[01:49] <tureklai> gateway? no gateway. just proxy.
[01:49] <BetaTester> Pici, #ghostscript is dead :(
[01:49] <Pici> BetaTester: :(
[01:49] <PriceChild> tureklai, the point is... you want to tell flashget to use a different gateway and force it onto a different ip
[01:50] <tureklai> so i select HTTP GET the type of 'proxy' then in address i write the ip of diff lan connection
[01:50] <tureklai> ?
[01:50] <tureklai> or the gateway of diff lan connection?
[01:50] <tureklai> and even so, what port it should be ?
[01:50] <tureklai> this aint a proxy
[01:50] <Hobbsee> else: ctrl+alt+backspace
[01:51] <PriceChild> tureklai, I don't know sorry,
[01:51] <EvilDin_> hi, problem how can i set that console-screen.sh would run after rc.local

[01:56] <Anoninon> jrib: tail /var/log/syslog shows it running
[01:56] <Geek_> its vista or XP?
[01:56] <gnuskool> ArPharazon, in terminal run sudo fdisk -l paste into paste bin

[02:10] <flash42> SoulChild: you parted last time
[02:11] <flash42> save your session
[02:11] <sipior> GhoSt_DoG: fix the definition of AM_PATH_SMPEG in the file mentioned. are you mixing and matching automake versions?
[02:11] <flash42> SoulChild: gnome-session-save
[02:11] <Tommy> hi everyone
[02:12] <Anoninon> jrib: hrm.. it downloads the file fine.. I think the issue is the xfdesktop --reload needs to be run as a regular type user and not as cron.
[02:12] <SoulChild> flash42: do i need to install that package ?
[02:12] <jrib> Anoninon: save the errors to a log too, but you probably need to set DISPLAY
[02:13] <flash42> SoulChild: gnome-session-save saves your current gnome session, by what means you need installing gnome? you have it, correct?
[02:13] <flash42> after you load metacity, save your session
[02:14] <SoulChild> flash42: yes i have it but after gdm login i have no window borders, so i type metacity in terminal and everything appers but if i close terminal borders disappear again :(
[02:15] <xero9364> I have a question about LoCo. If I have 2 houses in different states of the US, which LoCo team do I talk to?
[02:15] <flash42> start metacity, save your session and restart gdm
[02:15] <Anoninon> jrib: I set the display (DISPLAY=:0.0) , still no dice.
[02:15] <jrib> xero9364: why not both?
[02:16] <jrib> Anoninon: how did you set it?
[02:16] <xero9364> Sweet i get 2 teams!
[02:16] <Pici> xero9364: I doubt the loco teams even care if you live in the state that you participate in. Just as long as you participate :)

[02:17] <Pici> else-: Looking...
[02:17] <xero9364> Restart X is mostly what is needed unless its a kernel update. Then you have to reboot.
[02:17] <sipior> else-: sadly, i'm getting a 503 error on that link atm
[02:17] <else-> oh could be the digg effect
[02:17] <Anoninon> jrib: 1 sec..
[02:18] <else-> it says you can reboot windows without actually rebooting the whole computer
[02:18] <Pici> else-: Isnt loading for me either.  The command to restart x. is: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[02:18] <Pici> else-: Otherwise I dont think that it really applies under Linux.
[02:18] <sipior> else-: you mean just the graphical interface? that can certainly be done, as Pici says
[02:18] <xero9364> "Reboot" is usually meant as "Log out and back in" or "Restart X"
[02:18] <else-> okay, that's what i wanted to know. thank you.
[02:18] <xero9364> Ctrl+Alt+Backspace if you run gdm
[02:18] <else-> no, i know how to restart x :)
[02:18] <krum> things look prettyv hopeless.
[02:19] <SoulChild> can someone check if there must be a metacity entry in autostarted appplicatins in Configuration menu , please ?
[02:19] <zombie_monkey> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-505585.html
[02:19] <else-> but i wanted to know if it's possible to reboot (= reloading the kernel) without rebooting the entire system
[02:19] <xero9364> For ubuntu, I remember removing metacity and it screwed up the desktop and wouldn't let my customized startup programs run.
[02:19] <Hobbsee> else-: reloading the kernel?  no
[02:19] <else-> alright. thanks
[02:19] <Pici> else-: Not to my knowledge
[02:19] <else-> thanks
[02:20] <Hobbsee> else-: wouldnt be many needs to reload the kernel, though
[02:20] <xero9364> I was basically screwed. All i could do was restart x and fix it under failsafe, really. Didn't even have a window manager.
[02:20] <Hobbsee> else-: reloading modules, etc, is simple (modprobe -r foo, modprobe foo)
[02:20] <flash42> SoulChild: there is nothing like that

[02:20] <ubotu> SoulChild: 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

[02:20] <flash42> :)
[02:21] <SoulChild> okay
[02:21] <flash42> did you saved your session after loading metacity?
[02:21] <xero9364> Patience, to me, is use compiz to bend the bitchx window.
[02:21] <SoulChild> no i ll try right now and come back in then
[02:21] <bluesign2> anyone know a video editing commandline tool with chromakey support?
[02:22] <xero9364> Not cli but i think cinelerra is pretty good.
[02:22] <bluesign2> xero9364: i need to do something like videomix on demand, so cli is my only way
[02:23] <xero9364> Sorry. I'm a newb to the whole Linux thing.
[02:23] <bluesign2> thanks a lot anyway
[02:23] <faileas> erm... command line, and video editing... how are you gonna see what your doing? ;p
[02:24] <ico86> i forgot command to install flash player from konsole. os is ubuntu 7.04
[02:24] <bluesign2> faileas: i will always mix two videos, one with chromakey :) don't need to see them all the time :)
[02:24] <jrib> ico86: sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree
[02:24] <ico86> thanks
[02:25] <xero9364> ico86: Firefox installs it for me when I try to use it and I don't have it (although it never does it now because i have it
[02:25] <xero9364> )
[02:26] <Anoninon> jrib: now in syslog I get (mailed 58 bytes of output but got status 0x0001)
[02:27] <Anoninon> this is such a nightmare.
[02:27] <jrib> Anoninon: heh, can you read the mail?
[02:27] <Anoninon> all I'm trying to do is add one stupid job to cron, a script which executes 3 commands.
[02:27] <Anoninon> how do I read this mail ?
[02:27] <flash42> Anoninon: did you try any other job done with cron?
[02:27] <Anoninon> flash42: I don't follow, what do you mean?
[02:28] <flash42> try a job that works
[02:28] <Anoninon> flash42: there are no other jobs listed. I have no idea what jobs 'work'.
[02:28] <flash42> after it you will know that you can make something work with it
[02:28] <jrib> Anoninon: 'mutt' should just work after you install it.  But did you get anything sent to log_me.log as well?
[02:28] <flash42> ehehe
[02:28] <Anoninon> flash42: /var/log/syslog shows the thing is executing
[02:28] <flash42> yepp
[02:29] <Anoninon> jrib: shows the same thing as always, that the file is downloaded and that is all.  no error messages.
[02:29] <jrib> Anoninon: after adding >> $log 2>&1  to the third command?
[02:30] <Anoninon> jrib: /var/mail/jur: No such file or directory (errno = 2)
[02:31] <Anoninon> while running mutt.
[02:31] <Anoninon> wonderful.
[02:31] <jrib> Anoninon: that's ok, just means no mail was sent there
[02:31] <jrib> let cron fail again maybe
[02:32] <flash42> ?
[02:32] <Anoninon> I swear if I find out ubuntu is causing this I'm removing it right away.
[02:33] <flash42> :D
[02:34] <flash42> you should have a tea and calm down
[02:35] <Anoninon> this is insane. it took me 2 seconds to write the script now it's 1.5 hours to convince cron to run it.
[02:35] <jrib> Anoninon: what is it supposed to do anyway?
[02:36] <Anoninon> jrib: it's replacing my wallpaper with the current sat. shot of America from NASA
[02:36] <Anoninon> jrib: finally I got an error (as sent via mail) (xfdesktop:9479): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
[02:36] <Anoninon> finally something makes sense.
[02:36] <Ben_Cs> hello. i installed nautilus-open-terminal, but still don't have the option on right click inside nautilus. please help!
[02:36] <jrib> Anoninon: are you running this in your user's crontab?
[02:36] <Anoninon> jrib: yes
[02:38] <Ben_Cs> never mind. problem solved
[02:38] <Anoninon> http://pastebin.com/m24ceeadb
[02:39] <jrib> Anoninon: I just created a crontab and it runs a script with nothing more than "DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/xfdesktop --reload" and works fine (I see my desktop flicker and get no error mail)
[02:39] <bl00dfox> hi guys!
[02:39] <Anoninon> jrib: I just posted a pastebin of the script
[02:39] <jrib> Anoninon: if you want to do it that way, write "export" before DISPLAY
[02:39] <bl00dfox> i need help with COmpiz

[02:45] <Anoninon> jrib: you're my hero ! it works not with export DIPLAY=bla
[02:45] <sayers> Pici, Alright. In a minute. I dont think that fixs the problem though.

[02:58] <luke_> any 1 know any links?
[02:58] <Pici> !offtopic | luke_
[02:58] <Davo_Dinkum> skyfalcon866: Look for a program called "scrub"
[02:58] <ubotu> luke_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:58] <Pici> skyfalcon866: Or "shred"
[02:58] <Davo_Dinkum> lol coffee
[02:58] <luke_> ok thanks
[02:59] <skyfalcon866> will it safely delete it though? because on wikipedia it said the file can still recovered if used on a journaling filesystem like ext3 jfs
[02:59] <Davo_Dinkum> Pici: oops, thanks
[02:59] <Pici> Davo_Dinkum: It was meant for someone else, sorry.
[02:59] <Davo_Dinkum> np
[03:00] <genii> dgjones If you're in downtown Toronto, sure :) Otherwise yer on yer own
[03:00] <skyfalcon866> or to put it simple can it still be recovered on a journaling file system?
[03:00] <krammer> The composite extension is not available?
[03:01] <krammer> i am try to enable desktop effects
[03:01] <dgjones> genii, looks like i'm making my own :)
[03:01] <Pici> skyfalcon866: The manpages for shred says that its ineffective on ext3 systems mounted in journaled mode.  I believe that the default mount mode for ext3 systems is ordered mode, so it doesnt apply. Check the shred and mount manpages if you want to look yourself.
[03:01] <shagggy> skyfalcon866: by default, ext3 doesn't journal the file data, and jfs never does, so if you've got a program that overwrites the file's data before deleting the file, the journal won't be an issue
[03:01] <skyfalcon866> ok
[03:02] <Pici> Or what shagggy said :)
[03:02] <shagggy> Pici: what you said was just as clear :-)
[03:03] <skyfalcon866> does ext3 journal metadata only?
[03:05] <B-rabbit> hi
[03:05] <ripper> hi
[03:05] <ripper> can we help you B-rabbit
[03:06] <B-rabbit> yes,i am writing my question...i sec
[03:07] <joenavelh> hi is micheil around
[03:07] <joenavelh> it from NIce Gambia
[03:08] <B-rabbit> i want install another OS and run it via Vmware player....do i have to make a partition to do that?
[03:08] <sipior> B-rabbit: no
[03:09] <slingintacos> anyone in here get the apache2 updates this morning?
[03:09] <flash42> :D
[03:09] <B-rabbit> sipior: wat do i have to do
[03:09] <B-rabbit> ?
[03:09] <sipior> B-rabbit: read the VMware documentation :)
[03:10] <B-rabbit> ok
[03:10] <ripper> B-rabbit why not just use virtualbox ?
[03:10] <slingintacos> i wanna know if it's going to effup my server if i install them
[03:10] <B-rabbit> ripper: what's that/
[03:11] <sipior> B-rabbit: but basically, you'll install VMware, which will create a file it will use as a "partition", and then you fire up VMware, and install as normal
[03:11] <B-rabbit> ?
[03:11] <eifzon_> anyone can recommend some good torrent clients for gnome?
[03:11] <ripper> B-rabbit its just like vmware except its free
[03:11] <slingintacos> eifzon_

[03:11] <ripper> eifzon_ deluge ?
[03:11] <krammer> I want to enable desktop effects, but I get an error mess the composite extension is not available?
[03:11] <defrysk> eifzon_, transmission , the latest version fom getdeb.net
[03:11] <eifzon_> defrysk: ok
[03:12] <ripper> krammer cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep composite
[03:12] <slingintacos> but, if you sudo apt-get install azureus, make sure you sudo apt-get install restricted-extras first
[03:12] <krammer> ok ill try that
[03:12] <defrysk> eifzon_, I believe its version8
[03:12] <slingintacos> anybody with the apache?
[03:12] <cwraig> hi all how can i kill xorg on my ubuntu (just for this boot) to save resources?
[03:12] <ripper> paste me the output of that krammer
[03:12] <eifzon_> defrysk: 0.8
[03:12] <Smegzor> I have an ubuntu install cd (7.04) and it won't let me create a partition larger than 200Gigs.  If I try I just get error can't have end before the start.  Is this a bug?  The drive had a partition larger than 200Gigs from a previous Ubuntu install.
[03:12] <defrysk> eifzon_, ok :)
[03:13] <krammer> nothing it goes to the next line
[03:13] <ripper> interesting
[03:13] <ripper> try adding this to the end of the xorg.conf
[03:13] <krammer> ok
[03:13] <ripper> sec
[03:13] <sipior> Smegzor: this a clean drive?
[03:14] <ripper> Section "Extensions"
[03:14] <ripper>   Option "Composite" "enable"
[03:14] <ripper> EndSection
[03:14] <ripper> add that to xorg.conf @ krammer
[03:15] <Smegzor> no I am reformatting it.  It did exactly the same to my last install which was a clean drive (320 gigs)
[03:16] <Smegzor> I selected manual partition during install as I wanted to set my own partition sizes.
[03:16] <ripper> krammer once you get done doing that, restart X by doing ctrl alt backspace , and then try again :)
[03:16] <Smegzor> I know it will use the entire drive without a problem if I let it, but I don't want that.
[03:16] <krammer> still puzzled
[03:16] <coma> Ok, Gaim is cool and all but theres a whole new version out. How do I install its new version Pigin? Im not sure where to get it or anything becasue I dont really know what to look for on the site.
[03:17] <kiwi_> 
[03:17] <sipior> Smegzor: and there are no remaining partitions? all have been removed?
[03:17] <coma> pidgin*
[03:17] <Smegzor> I have the swap partition still.  I'll remove it and try again
[03:17] <ripper> krammer how so?
[03:17] <SlimeyPe1e> coma: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-pidgin-200-on-ubuntu-feisty-with-plugin-pack.html#more-203
[03:17] <ripper> if you didnt restart X its not going to work
[03:18] <krammer> cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep composite what should i add to this line?
[03:18] <coma> thanks.
[03:18] <ripper> umm
[03:18] <ripper> krammer do this
[03:18] <ripper> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:18] <ripper> go all the way to the bottom
[03:18] <ripper> add that.
[03:19] <Mind-bOgglEd> hi hope all are well today
[03:19] <ripper> then save it
[03:19] <Smegzor> Its still doing it and free space is the last thing on the drive
[03:19] <ripper> then restart X
[03:19] <sipior> Smegzor: isn't free space the only thing on the drive?
[03:19] <krammer> ok
[03:19] <Smegzor> I'll whipe the drive completely and start over
[03:19] <rickey> goodmorning everyone
[03:19] <sipior> Smegzor: that'd be safest, i think
[03:19] <krammer> im in the conf file
[03:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Smegzor: COuld you restate your problem when you get a chance.. Just woke up here and trying to catch up
[03:20] <ripper> krammer go all the way to the bottom and add that section that i gave you earlier
[03:20] <ripper> this: Section "Extensions"
[03:20] <ripper>   Option "Composite" "enable"
[03:20] <ripper> EndSection
[03:20] <Smegzor> it might be that my approach is wrong but recently I always strike this error.
[03:21] <bobbob1016> I'm not sure if this is an Opera issue, or Ubuntu, but when I copy and paste something in Opera, and also in Firefox I think, and close Opera or Firefox, it clears the clipboard, and I can't paste that anymore.
[03:21] <krammer> add it at the bottom after end seciton
[03:21] <ripper> yes
[03:21] <ripper> those 3 lines
[03:21] <Smegzor> I am trying to have a small boot partition first (100mb), then a 1mb swap, and the rest of the drive for /
[03:21] <ripper> just as they appear
[03:21] <Mind-bOgglEd> i am a nightmare.b newbie.Can anyone tell me how i get a usb bluetooth up and running ?sorry if this is a dumb question
[03:21] <Pici> Smegzor: Why only 1mb of swap?
[03:21] <Mind-bOgglEd> a
[03:21] <ripper> 1mb swap? heh thats not gonna work very well
[03:21] <sipior> Smegzor: i presume you mean 1gb for swap :)
[03:21] <Jack_Sparrow> Smegzor: First partition for XP or something?
[03:22] <Mind-bOgglEd> ?
[03:22] <Smegzor> yeah sorry
[03:22] <Smegzor> pffft  XP
[03:22] <Smegzor> this is a linux file server.  XP is not allowed
[03:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Smegzor: Are you crteating an extended partition and putting logical swap into that?
[03:22] <ripper> Smegzor good rule of thumb ... swap = size of mem X 2
[03:22] <Smegzor> all primary atm
[03:22] <sipior> Smegzor: is the disk known good, btw?
[03:22] <Arafangion> ripper: That is no-longer a good rule of thumb.
[03:22] <Smegzor> very good disk
[03:22] <mars> how to set permissions so my user can burn
[03:22] <ripper> Arafangion why not?
[03:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Smegzor: What error are you getting?
[03:23] <krammer> ripper save?
[03:23] <Smegzor> hang on.  still having another go.  'Can't have the end before the start'
[03:23] <ripper> krammer yes.
[03:23] <ripper> then restart X
[03:23] <Arafangion> ripper: 8 GB of swap is useless. That "rule" actually arose from a time when the linux kernel was more limited with swap, and actually wanted that amount of swap relative to memory.
[03:24] <Smegzor> the instructions on the prepare partitions page (installer) don't go into any detail really.
[03:24] <sipior> actually, the "rule" predates linux by a ways

[03:24] <sipior> you're right, though, it is definitely outdated
[03:24] <krammer> ripper: should I try to enable desktop effects now
[03:24] <ripper> sipior shows you how long i've been using nix for :P
[03:24] <Smegzor> i got the error again..  trying again with a logical partion
[03:24] <sipior> swap == memory is probably right, but disk space is so cheap anyway...
[03:25] <ripper> krammer did you hit ctrl alt backspace
[03:25] <ripper> and restart X ?
[03:25] <krammer> no
[03:25] <Smegzor> no go unless I set the size under 200gigs
[03:25] <ripper> do that
[03:25] <ubuntu> Hello im finding it difficult to merge two Ext3 partitions together with Gparted can anyone help me?
[03:25] <sipior> ripper: yeah, i know the feeling :)
[03:25] <ripper> sipior i've been using since slack 9
[03:25] <Smegzor> i use ext3 always
[03:25] <ripper> well about 8 months before then
[03:25] <coma> when i try to instal the .deb file for pidgin it says the status database area is locked by another process. any ideas ?
[03:25] <prince> Enter text here...hi
[03:26] <rickey> i also  am a compelte newbie in ubuntu, would realy like to understand what i need to do ,so i can listen to internet radio on line
[03:26] <Arafangion> sipior: Suppose the 4GB of swap was used, how slow would the system be?
[03:26] <Smegzor> stuff it.  I'll partition with Knoppix :P
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu: Are you trying to do it from livecd.. and what are on those partitions?
[03:26] <sipior> Arafangion: not very i suspect. that would depend on how it was utilised
[03:27] <DrHalan> hello, ive a problem with sauerbraten, when i try to play it on my linux machine using restricted ati drivers 3d output works but ive no shaders support etc
[03:27] <Smegzor> live cd and I deleted all partitions first
[03:27] <SypherInfo> could someone help me? i'm having trouble installing ubuntu desktop...i get an error that says it can't start the x server because my monitor isn't setup right
[03:27] <Smegzor> i can create partitions fine until I set the size > 200Gigs
[03:27] <eifzon_> ripper: you got transmission?
[03:27] <ripper> eifzon_ huh?
[03:27] <Smegzor> I'm going to do exactly the same but with Knoppix and see if it works
[03:27] <eifzon_> ripper: torrent client?
[03:28] <ripper> eifzon_ no.
[03:28] <Smegzor> still installing Ubuntu tho
[03:28] <ubuntu> Jack_Sparrow:  /dev/sda1 ext3 - ubuntu main /dev/sda2 is Windows vista /devsda3 is windows xp i have 24gigs unallocated space yet for some reason i cannot make my linux partition bigger
[03:28] <sipior> Smegzor: yeah, i'm really curious how this problem could come about
[03:28] <ripper> eifzon_ i use either the default one , or deluge
[03:28] <eifzon_> k ripper!
[03:28] <ubuntu> Jack_Sparrow:  i know i could re install but i installed 2 hours of updates on ubuntu id be losing a lot
[03:28] <sipior> Smegzor: be sure to let us know when you figure it out...this is one of those things to write down for future reference :-)
[03:28] <eifzon_> how do i change downloaded path in transmission, so the downloads comes to a specific folder?
[03:28] <jetscreamer> that would be because it's not contiguous?
[03:28] <Smegzor> my guess is its a bug in the installer as I KNOW it worked with 6.10
[03:28] <ripper> o yeh yall....
[03:29] <jetscreamer> you might want lvm
[03:29] <ripper> i knew i came in here for a reason :P
[03:29] <SypherInfo> could someone help me? i'm having trouble installing ubuntu desktop...i get an error that says it can't start the x server because my monitor isn't setup right
[03:29] <ripper> why is it that my monitor goes out of range when i boot
[03:29] <ripper> but yet i can switch to a virtual terminal
[03:29] <ripper> and back to X
[03:29] <jetscreamer> !info hwinfo
[03:29] <ubotu> hwinfo: Hardware identification system. In component universe, is optional. Version 13.11-3 (feisty), package size 40 kB, installed size 108 kB
[03:29] <olga_> hey
[03:29] <ziroday> SypherInfo: ill try what is the exact error
[03:29] <ripper> and everying is fine
[03:29] <jetscreamer> hwinfo --monitor
[03:29] <ubuntu> ripper:  do you have 7.04 fiesty?
[03:29] <ripper> yes.
[03:29] <ubuntu> yeh i have that
[03:29] <ripper> im trying to figure out what i can do to fix it
[03:29] <ripper> its nothing major
[03:30] <ripper> but annoying the less
[03:30] <ubuntu> for some reason i fixed it by using an old xorg.conf, but then it says im out of space on my hd and my GDM cant write so i put more space on hd ect ect
[03:30] <jetscreamer> -_-
[03:30] <SypherInfo> ummm i dunno i would have to retry the installation
[03:30] <ubuntu> try using ur old backup xorg.conf ripper
[03:30] <tck> Does 'evolution' have an out-of-office option ?
[03:30] <ripper> ubuntu hmm
[03:30] <ripper> there is no diff in them
[03:30] <SypherInfo> brb
[03:30] <ripper> but i had no problems before
[03:30] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu: While you have a working system... copy var/cache/apt/archives to a cd or dvd...
[03:30] <ziroday> SypherInfo: well i can't really help you with out knowing the error :)
[03:30] <ripper> except X like to complain about not finding core pointer
[03:30] <sipior> Smegzor: another possiblity is just to partition with 6.10, and then install without modifying them
[03:30] <jetscreamer> gee i wonder if hwinfo --monitor would tell you the ranges to use
[03:31] <jetscreamer> nah it couldn't
[03:31] <jetscreamer> no way
[03:31] <sipior> or fdisk for that matter
[03:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu: It will keep you from having to download tohose again.
[03:31] <ubuntu> Jack_Sparrow:  i cant login "GDM could not write to your authorisation file"
[03:31] <excitatory> so is there any advantage to using the fglrx driver over the ati driver for a radeon 9600?
[03:31] <Smegzor> True but Knoppix loads in half the time
[03:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu: You can copy them to a usb from a livecd..
[03:31] <jetscreamer> try chown -R user:user /home/user
[03:31] <jetscreamer> or check for rw

[03:36] <ubuntu> rickey have you tried apt-cache search radio
[03:36] <rickey> what is that
[03:36] <rickey>  i am a newbie
[03:36] <flash42> rickey, what internet radio?
[03:36] <ubuntu> umm basically it searches for all the files you can download off the debs relating to radio
[03:36] <flash42> you want to listen to music streamed by servers?
[03:36] <kakaruto> is there a website for new updates, releases and others for ubuntu?
[03:37] <rickey> the kind i use to listen on window media player
[03:37] <Rafaell> when i run the ati driver, syntax error, can't substitution, what can i do for that ?
[03:37] <ubuntu> so .asx
[03:37] <ubuntu> lol =p
[03:37] <flash42> ubuntu plays it
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> kakaruto: The release dates are published.. gutsy is next.. what version are you running and what are you looking for>?
[03:38] <SlimeyPe1e> rickey: vlc, xmms, beep, amarok and whatever-the-Gnome-one-is-called should all do that just fine assuming it's something sensiblelike an mp3 stream
[03:38] <rickey> wen i go to add app  it wont load
[03:38] <ubuntu> gnome-one is totem
[03:38] <Pici> SlimeyPe1e: rickey: Totem? rhythmbox
[03:38] <kakaruto> feisty, just what's new for ubuntu
[03:38] <rickey>  and wen i try to update ,it wont load
[03:38] <SlimeyPe1e> Pici: yeah, rhythmbox was the one I was thinking of
[03:38] <ubuntu> im new to ubuntu myself ;D
[03:38] <ubuntu> since yesterday

[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> kakaruto: You can go ask in the gutsy room  #Ubuntu+1
[03:39] <kakaruto> ah ok
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> ubuntu: And already making a bigger partition for it.... :)
[03:39] <IRCFrEAK> hi I have ubuntu running inside parallels on a macbook... what's the best way to setup a shared directory between the 2?
[03:40] <rickey> i was going to download realplayer ,but it was  fotr red hat
[03:40] <SypherInfo> the exact error is "Faild to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly."
[03:40] <ubuntu> Jack_Sparrow:  yeh well for some stupid reason i only allocated 2.8 gigs to "try" ubuntu not realising you cant resize your mounted partitions that easily
[03:40] <SypherInfo> have you guys seen that error before?
[03:40] <ripper> SypherInfo yeah.
[03:40] <jetscreamer> grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:40] <ubuntu> SypherInfo: try reconfiguring your xserver
[03:40] <SlimeyPe1e> SypherInfo: yes, it's very common but it could be caused by one of a million different things
[03:41] <ubuntu> i don't know the command though ask the gurus here =p
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:41] <ripper> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:41] <jetscreamer> find out the reason first
[03:41] <ripper> Jack_Sparrow  beat me by like 2 keystrokes :P
[03:41] <ubuntu> woohoo the most usefull cmd
[03:41] <jetscreamer> how will you fix it if you don't know what to fix
[03:41] <SypherInfo> how do i find out the reason?
[03:42] <jetscreamer> grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg    to just set the max res
[03:42] <SlimeyPe1e> SypherInfo: do what jetscreamer said :)
[03:42] <SypherInfo> okie dokie
[03:42] <SypherInfo> thanks

[03:43] <SlimeyPe1e> ubuntu: ps -aux or ps -ef
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> THX-1138: If you want to only set the maximum res...   and not go through all of the reconfigure..
[03:44] <jetscreamer> debconf priority btw
[03:44] <Jack_Sparrow> THX-1138: A little easier for new people that may have tried to go with too high of a res and get stuck
[03:44] <jetscreamer> (iirc)

[03:50] <Rafaell> How can i config the fglrx driver ??
[03:50] <rroel> weet ik veel dude
[03:50] <ripper> Rafaell man aticonfig
[03:50] <Rafaell> cant load the server X, no mathing device, no device found
[03:51] <THX-1138> Jack_Sparrow Same, learned a new one this morning. Thanks again.  tried this "watch vmstat -d" vmstat is handy
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Rafaell: sudo dpkg-reconfigure  xserver-xorg
[03:51] <Smegzor> I got my harddrive partitioned finally.  I used the Linux Rescue CD since Ubuntu 7.04 installer just errors all the time :/
[03:51] <Rafaell> [Jack_Sparrow] : but then the screen turns black, when i configure that
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Rafaell: Then you are configuring it wrong...
[03:52] <Rafaell> hmm
[03:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Rafaell: Select lower res options.. go with vesa driver for video and 1024 max res
[03:53] <ripper> or just use the radeon driver :)
[03:53] <ripper> it works
[03:53] <Rafaell> Jack_Sparrow but i need to remove the fglrx driver ?
[03:53] <Jack_Sparrow> ripper: ATI radeon driver works on everything?
[03:53] <ripper> Jack_Sparrow not everything
[03:53] <ripper> but fglrx is ati specific
[03:54] <ripper> and i had issues w/ fglrx
[03:54] <ripper> replaced it with "radeon" and boom stuff was workin again
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> ripper: Vesa will always work..  but if he is sure he has ati radeon should work..
[03:55] <ripper> lspci -v | grep ati
[03:55] <ripper> :P
[03:55] <rickey> ok i opened rhythmbox got a radio staion in it , it apeird to be running ,but no sound

[04:03] <Amaranth> hi
[04:03] <Jack_Sparrow> rickey: Then I suggest you watch your attitude and your language...
[04:03] <kakaruto> Amarranth hello
[04:03] <kkathman> rickey:  uhm all linux distros pretty much require w32codecs :)
[04:03] <[Ramy] > Pici can you help me i'm trying to make a new Loco team for Jordan.
[04:04] <rickey> did you ever wond if i even knew what   w 32 codecs  is or are?
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> kkathman: Any linux distro that includes w32codecs will not be around long...
[04:05] <Pici> [Ramy] : Pleae read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto
[04:05] <kkathman> Jack_Sparrow:  correct, seeing that it would be illegal :)
[04:05] <gordonjcp> Jack_Sparrow: why's that?
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Not legal
[04:05] <Jack_Sparrow> In the US
[04:05] <gvsa123> :)
[04:05] <gordonjcp> what's not legal about it?
[04:06] <gvsa123> all the more :)\
[04:06] <kkathman> but I've run quite a few distros and every one of the you have to install w32codecs :)
[04:06] <[Ramy] > Pici, i'm reading , but how i can setup ubotu for #ubuntu-jo
[04:06] <bobbob1016> So why is it legal then to install them?
[04:06] <gvsa123> :)\
[04:06] <gvsa123> keyboard!
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> rickey: Did you read the page on restricted formats?
[04:06] <erle-> is it a known issue, that in ubuntu 7.04 the mouse pointer does not "run" after a while?
[04:06] <gordonjcp> Jack_Sparrow: that's a lot of nonsense though, about restricted formats
[04:06] <Jack_Sparrow> bobbob1016: Technically, if you live in the us... it isnt
[04:06] <erle-> mostly if firefox was running
[04:06] <kkathman> bobbob1016:  its ok to install, just not to distribute
[04:06] <gvsa123> i don't think it though... doesn't it have some sort of warning that one should check if it's legal to install them in your country or something
[04:07] <gordonjcp> Jack_Sparrow: why limit the usefulness of the software because a small proportion of the userbase isn't allowed to use them?
[04:07] <erle-> the system perfomance is normal, but the mouse pointer lags
[04:07] <erle-> restarting x does not solve the problem
[04:07] <Rafaell> thxx Jack_Sparrow finaly i can start my ubuntu =] 
[04:07] <tanath> what keyboard shortcut is this? Mod4+T
[04:07] <Pici> [Ramy] : You'll need to msg Seveas about that.  I think theres also a bot specifically for the locoteams.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> gordonjcp: It is made very easy to install them.. just not to include them.
[04:07] <bobbob1016> and other distros can include them by default because they pay, right?
[04:08] <kkathman> bobbob1016:  and you pay
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> bobbob1016: Yes, the fee you pay in part goes to those copyrights
[04:08] <sunspec> why is ubuntu 6.06 supported longer than ubuntu 7.04. Isn't the 7.04 a new release?
[04:08] <Arafangion> sunspec: It's the LTS version.
[04:08] <Pici> sunspec: Because 6.06 is an LTS edition.
[04:08] <Pici> !lts | sunspec
[04:08] <ubotu> sunspec: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[04:08] <Jack_Sparrow> sunspec: IT has LTS  long term support
[04:08] <gordonjcp> Jack_Sparrow: why not include them?
[04:09] <Jack_Sparrow> gordonjcp: That isnt a topic up for discussion...  It is a legal thing..
[04:09] <kkathman> gordonjcp:  probably thats an offtopic discussion - or maybe write Cannonical?
[04:09] <rickey> well ive herd here all i need to know about ubuntu
[04:09] <Arafangion> rickey: Well... good for you.
[04:09] <Pici> rickey: Okay?
[04:09] <gordonjcp> Jack_Sparrow: why is it not up for discussion?
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> gordonjcp: This isnt the discussion room...
[04:10] <gordonjcp> Jack_Sparrow: fair point
[04:10] <kkathman> gordonjcp:  ubuntu-offtopic :)
[04:10] <gordonjcp> kkathman: neither you nor Jack_Sparrow are in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> gordonjcp: You are correct...
[04:11] <gordonjcp> Jack_Sparrow: Germany has made "hacking tools" illegal - should we then leave wget out?
[04:11] <gordonjcp> it's easy to install, but it's an illegal piece of software
[04:11] <Pici> gordonjcp: Jack_Sparrow: kkathman: to offtopic with you all!
[04:11] <tanath> what keyboard shortcut is this? Mod4+T
[04:12] <gvsa123> how do you guys manage to type in the nicknames so quickly?
[04:12] <Pici> !tab | gordonjcp
[04:12] <ubotu> gordonjcp: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[04:12] <Pici> gvsa123: That was to you.
[04:12] <gordonjcp> Pici: oops ;-)
[04:13] <Pici> gordonjcp: Indeed ;)
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> I could use some help from someone that uses vnc to connect two ubuntu machines...  I can connect one way but not the other..
[04:15] <gvsa123> Pici: cool
[04:15] <bobbob1016> How can I change my default file manager for the search tool?  I tried thunar, and I went back to nautilus with this script: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease but the indexer won't open the enclosing folder for a file, it doesn't give me an error, it just doesn't do anything.  Is there something I'm missing?
[04:15] <gvsa123> ok got it
[04:15] <Jack_Sparrow> tab also gives the last name you typed if nothing has been started
[04:15] <Smegzor> Yay!  Now I'm installing ubuntu 7.04 having abandoned the partition format due to error "the end can't go before the start".  I used a gparted live cd to prepare the partitions.  I still say the partitioner in ubuntu installer is buggy.
[04:16] <kauer> Jack_Sparrow: is the server software on both machines? Is one machine blocking the port? Is one machine behint a NAt router?
[04:16] <gvsa123> Jack_Sparrow: nothing has been typed?
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Smegzor: I try to use gparted from the live cd and not feed it through the installer
[04:16] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: Not in all irc clients.
[04:16] <guicorbani> I new on those things... so some one have a easy way to install my net! I have a Asus p5ld2-x
[04:16] <gvsa123> when i press P and then <tab> it comes out with a list
[04:16] <Smegzor> Yeah well I'll be using my gparted live cd from now on.
[04:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Pici: true..  but many...  some people still use stone age tools
[04:17] <Pici> Jack_Sparrow: Doesnt work in irssi, which is still being developed
[04:17] <tanath> anyone know what keyboard shortcut "Mod4+T" is?
[04:17] <tanath> gvsa123, try typing another character or two
[04:17] <kauer> Jack_Sparrow: answers re VNC.
[04:17] <Pici> tanath: It might be super+t.  i.e. the windows key
[04:18] <tanath> Pici, nope
[04:18] <Pici> tanath: hm
[04:18] <gvsa123> tanath: oh it has to be like that... and how do i highlight my nick so i can see it better?
[04:18] <CarinArr> !cifs
[04:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cifs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:18] <tanath> Pici, that's the first one i tried
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> kauer: sorry yes...

[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> kauer: Both are on my side of the router.
[04:18] <tanath> gvsa123, what are you using?
[04:18] <barefoot> hello, I am trying to get dual monitors working, but it keeps bringing up two seperate desktops. I can move my mouse in between them but cannot drag apps across, and I have the same 'bars' (top and bottom) on both. Any help? here is lspci and my current xorg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34058/

[04:19] <keito> HELP!!! just made a .cue sheet (music track times) and it appears that I have no way of testing it on ubuntu.  I have tried XMMS AMAROK & MPLAYER?!!!
[04:19] <[Ramy] > you have to make an IRC channel for a Loco Team, on FreeNode or ubuntu servers ?
[04:19] <tanath> gvsa123, it should be already then. your text should be different colour
[04:19] <gvsa123> tanath: i like to keep them the same :)
[04:19] <Pici> tanath: The output of  `xmodmap` should tell you
[04:19] <gvsa123> ahhh... no smiley here!
[04:19] <Jack_Sparrow> kauer: I was able to connect with the machine that will no longer connect, but I have installed crossover office since then..
[04:19] <kauer> Jack_Sparrow: then either one side doesn't havethe server or one side is blocking something it shouldn't. Or one side is configured to reject connections. What *exactly* is the symptom of "can't connect?
[04:19] <ipx> [Ramy] : ubuntuservers == freenode
[04:20] <Jack_Sparrow> kauer: NOt sure the two are related and I was playing with desktop effects on the one that will no longer connect
[04:20] <kauer> Jack_Sparrow: so installing crossoveroffice broke vnc in one direction?
[04:20] <tanath> Pici, mod4        Super_L (0x7f),  Hyper_L (0x80)
[04:20] <tanath> Pici, isn't that the winkey?
[04:20] <Pici> tanath: Thats what I would think
[04:20] <Jack_Sparrow> kauer: Comes back with error cant connect
[04:20] <tanath> Pici, well, it's not working :-/
[04:20] <bevardis> Hello folks? Anyone has installed Gobuntu succesfully? When i try install, in installer writing that i need to download kernel or something like than? Anyone?
[04:20] <guicorbani> how do I istall my ethernet RTL8186??? Some one can help me!
[04:20] <kauer> Jack_Sparrow: the effects are unlikely to have caiused it, but CO could have. What does "iptables -L -n" say (run it as root)?
[04:21] <Jack_Sparrow> kauer: Not sure if crossover broke it but that was one thing I did after I had it working
[04:21] <kauer> Jack_Sparrow: on the *target* you cannot conect to...
[04:21] <tanath> Pici, other shortcuts work fine though.
[04:22] <Jack_Sparrow> kauer: in forward and out all accept
[04:22] <kauer> Jack_Sparrow: have you checked that the server is still running on the target machine? That is, the machine you are trying to connect to?
[04:22] <CarinArr> anyone around using cifs?
[04:22] <Jack_Sparrow> kauer: one sec need to boot it
[04:22] <sarixe> does reiserfs use atime?
[04:22] <kauer> Jack_Sparrow: for completeness, what does iptables say on the local machine (the one you are trying to connect *from*)?

[04:23] <sarixe> faraaz : ask away
[04:23] <guicorbani> it s RTL8186
[04:23] <faraaz> could someone please tell me how to disable SHIFT+BACKSPACE automatic log out...
[04:24] <Davy_Jones> net works?
[04:24] <guicorbani> yep
[04:24] <keito> HELP!!! just made a .cue sheet (music track times) and it appears that I have no way of testing it on ubuntu.  I have tried XMMS AMAROK & MPLAYER?!!!
[04:24] <RAdam1> faraaz: using metacity or beryl?
[04:24] <Davy_Jones> like homeworks on the net?
[04:24] <faraaz> compiz fusion actually
[04:24] <guicorbani> almost!
[04:25] <Jack_Sparrow> kauer: the one I am trying to connect from...    in forward and out all accept
[04:26] <zero1328> hey, I'm new with linux so I want some confirmation before I do this:
[04:26] <guicorbani> I have a mobo asus p5ld2-x...
[04:26] <tanath> what's the hyper key?
[04:26] <guicorbani> than comes with a RLT 8186
[04:26] <guicorbani> RTL
[04:26] <faraaz> @tanath: Do you mean super??
[04:26] <kauer> Jack_Sparrow: now check that the server is present and running on the target machine.
[04:26] <tanath> faraaz, nope
[04:26] <faraaz> okay...
[04:26] <zero1328> In /boot, there's stuff like config-2.6.20-15-generic etc, basically stuff referring to kernel version 2.6.20-15
[04:26] <guicorbani> I quit!
[04:26] <faraaz> sorry mate, cant help you
[04:26] <guicorbani> thanks
[04:26] <RAdam1> guicorbani, what do you need to do, specifically? connect to the net?
[04:27] <RAdam1> or networking machines?
[04:27] <Davy_Jones> it's the key that makes you hyped
[04:27] <tanath> faraaz, Mod4+Hyper+T
[04:27] <K3nto> !nvidia
[04:27] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:27] <bevardis> has anyone tryed Gobuntu?? :)
[04:27] <zero1328> Since I updated to 2.6.20-16, deleting all the stuff referncing 2.6.20-15 and removing it from the grub bootloader, shouldn't harm it, right?
[04:27] <RAdam1> no davy, the key that makes you hyped is alt+tab when your boss walks in
[04:27] <K3nto> how do i start the confog for my nvidia card?
[04:27] <zero1328> since that stuff's just to start up 2.6.20-15
[04:27] <Davy_Jones> heh
[04:28] <Jack_Sparrow> kauer: It will take me a minute to do that... but working on it...  FYI I can ping that machine..
[04:28] <RAdam1> zero1328, no it won't, but you can also set how many back versions you want to appear in grub
[04:28] <tanath> zero1328, might want to keep the previous kernel each time you upgrade in case you encounter a problem. then you can boot to the previous kernel
[04:28] <faraaz> so, does anyone know how to disable shift+backspace autologout??
[04:28] <kauer> Jack_Sparrow: the ping is good. what server are you using? vino?
[04:28] <CarinArr> weird.. does anyone know why smbfs mounts using network name whereas cifs needs the ip address
[04:28] <K3nto> !nvidia confog
[04:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvidia confog - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:28] <tanath> faraaz, do you have compizconfig settings manager?
[04:28] <zero1328> "back versions"..? you mean like a backup, correct?
[04:29] <faraaz> yeh i do
[04:29] <stefg> K3nto: if you are on feisty there's a 'restricted modules' control applet in the system menu
[04:29] <tanath> faraaz, use it to change the shortcut. General > Actions > General
[04:29] <faraaz> hang on
[04:29] <K3nto> stefg: yeah its installed, i wanna change settings
[04:30] <faraaz> there's a bunch of options
[04:30] <faraaz> but none for logging out
[04:30] <tanath> faraaz, hm, you're right, i don't see it. i just saw what appeared to be the same shortcuts in Sys > Prefs > KB shortcuts, which does. check there
[04:30] <xxxxx>       ?
[04:30] <kauer> Jack_Sparrow: another obvious thing to check is in System->Preferences->Remote desktop -you are definitely allowing connections?
[04:31] <faraaz> okay
[04:31] <faraaz> 1 sec
[04:31] <zero1328> um..? I'm just going to assume you meant something similar to that then
[04:31] <kauer> xxxxx: !!!!! !! !!!!! !! !!!!!!! !!!! !!!!!!!!!

[04:41] <ipx> jabba_da_hut: you got a router?
[04:41] <Jack_Sparrow> kauer: Thanks.
[04:41] <ipx> maybe your router is not responding to pings
[04:41] <jabba_da_hut> ipx : yes
[04:41] <ipx> or maybe your modem
[04:41] <Dj_Halou> fuck you all
[04:41] <ipx> its nothing to worry about anyways :)
[04:41] <Jack_Sparrow> kauer: Sorry that took so long.. wife didnt tell me she messed up her keyboard
[04:41] <jabba_da_hut> ipx: what can i do to get it to work
[04:41] <ipx> jabba_da_hut: what do you want to get working? :P
[04:41] <jabba_da_hut> The ping
[04:42] <ipx> Its no problem
[04:42] <ipx> Well, if you really want it to work, you should look into your modem and router setups
[04:42] <ipx> and see if you can find something about it
[04:42] <stefg> jabba_da_hut: see your routers integrated firewall settings
[04:42] <PriceChild> Dj_Halou, no problem
[04:42] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks
[04:43] <jabba_da_hut> I have apache running on 8080 , I am able to access the server using localhost :8080 , but when i give my external IP instead of localhost , it dosent work
[04:43] <michaels_> stefg: maybe you can help me if we backtrack a little. right now, as when I first installed ubuntu on this machine, the wifi is seen as an unknown device and doesn't even show up in the "network" config screen.
[04:43] <sidon> ubuntu!
[04:43] <stefg> michaels_: first you need to find out make, model and chipset of the wifi adapter. what does lspci tell you about it?
[04:44] <michaels_> 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. Unknown device 001c (rev 01)
[04:44] <stefg> michaels_: that should work with the madwifi driver imho
[04:44] <TmWrk_NyQuil> hello from Mississippi guys
[04:44] <michaels_> stefg: thing is, I somehow disabled it and now I don't know how to get it working again
[04:45] <krammer> ripper??
[04:45] <stefg> michaels_: so get rid of ndiswrapper first, then install madwifi again
[04:46] <sidon> is ubuntu fairly secure out of the box?
[04:46] <krammer> anybody here good with the /etc/x11/xorg/.conf ?????
[04:46] <Jack_Sparrow> sidon: YEs..
[04:46] <michaels_> stefg: I removed the ndiswrapper module. is madwifi a package that goes by that name?
[04:46] <stefg> !info madwifi
[04:46] <ubotu> Package madwifi does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[04:46] <Jack_Sparrow> sidon: You can go to grc.com if you want to scan your compter with shields-up

[04:47] <gcostello> jabba_da_hut: try and access it using www.proxify.com
[04:48] <peeps_work> and I have to reinstall nvidia every time I reboot
[04:48] <rebelThor> anyone have a bcm43xx wifi and actually made it work with more than 11mbps?
[04:48] <krammer> I need to remove what I added to the xorg.conf despartely need help

[04:48] <K3nt1> any ubuntu users running wow with nvidia?
[04:49] <stefg> peeps_work: you're not using the ubuntu-driver, but the one from nvidia.com, aren't you?
[04:49] <neverblue> morning everyone
[04:49] <lwizardl> Hi
[04:49] <peeps_work> stefg, yeah
[04:50] <reign> hi guys,
[04:50] <lwizardl> how can i give a user write access to a drive
[04:50] <jrib> lwizardl: what filesystem?
[04:50] <tom17bombadil_> i need a tool to copy movie-dvds
[04:50] <jrib> !restricted > tom17bombadil_ (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:50] <lwizardl> ext3
[04:51] <jrib> tom17bombadil_: see the link there about ripping DVDs

[04:51] <stefg> peeps_work: the l-r-m in feisty fights with the nvidia-installer. either uninstall restricted manager (and manually reiinstall nvidias driver after each kernel update) or rather use the driver from the ubuntu-repos
[04:51] <Jack_Sparrow> tom17bombadil_: k9copy
[04:51] <barefoot> should I be using the ati or fglrx driver for a "ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TR" card?
[04:51] <K3nt1> can anybody help me fix my graphics/games problems? its pretty laggy
[04:51] <jrib> lwizardl: use chmod and/or chown on the directory you mounted the partition to to change the permissions to waht you want

[04:51] <THX-1138> K3nt1: - Good Morning. - WoW works almost perfectly note almost. what are you seeing?
[04:52] <tom17bombadil_> jrib: , Jack_Sparrow, perfect!
[04:52] <K3nt1> THX-1138: i can get into the game, but #1 its not fullscreen and #2 i get 4fps

[04:53] <stefg> michaels_: no idea, i have no atheros chipset. but atheros is well supported, so reading the !wifi docu should get you going
[04:54] <K3nt1> THX-1138: you there?
[04:54] <michaels_> okie, thanks
[04:54] <michaels_> gonna try a reboot now
[04:54] <male19> #klit
[04:54] <THX-1138> K3nt1: not confident this is the right channel for discussions of wine/cedega and WoW. lets try to keep it short. - You can adjust how it displays in the game and it works - Yay. but it will not automagically adjust (like windows) to match your desktop resolution. you can make it run faster by turning off effects (argh) in the game to improve FPS.
[04:55] <peeps_work> stefg, what is l-r-m?
[04:55] <jabba_da_hut> gcostello: It works fine with proxify, But how is that :-0?
[04:55] <uptownben> Hi All. I just installed UBUNTU server, and I want to set up a simple window manager, I installed fluxbox but I can get it to be the default WM, any know how?

[04:56] <THX-1138> K3nt1: sounds like a good idea - see you there.
[04:56] <genii> uptownben: Install a simple login manager like xdm then you can choose what session from that
[04:57] <juraj> krammer: you mean xorg.conf?
[04:57] <neverblue> very non-helpful stefg :)
[04:57] <lwizardl> jrib, I have the folder where I mounted the drive to as 777 but now i just gotta figure out the chown command
[04:57] <uptownben> I installed XDm but I see no menus or options ..only username / password
[04:57] <gcostello> jabba_da_hut: your router is probably blocking access from machines on your LAN
[04:57] <juraj> does somebody if mISDN modules got scraped in feisty?
[04:57] <jrib> lwizardl: if you made it 777 then it doesn't really mayyer who is the owner
[04:57] <krammer> im running on a live cd becuase the x server is messed up because i added a few lines which doesnt exexcute coreectly
[04:57] <krammer> yes
[04:57] <neverblue> krammer, also maybe add your lspci output
[04:57] <juraj> *know
[04:57] <stefg> neverblue, he didn't even ask a question....
[04:58] <neverblue> :)
[04:58] <krammer> this happen to me before
[04:58] <gordonjcp> juraj: misdn?
[04:58] <krammer> i want to enable deskotp effects
[04:58] <lwizardl> jrib, still says "You do not have permissions to write to this folder."
[04:58] <gordonjcp> juraj: were they ever in Ubuntu?
[04:58] <juraj> yes, these used to be loaded in dapper and edgy
[04:58] <jrib> lwizardl: press "reload" in nautilus
[04:58] <neverblue> good luck krammer seems you missed a few previous posts
[04:58] <uptownben> genii: where would I see those menu options in XDM?
[04:58] <jabba_da_hut> gcostello:Why is that I am not able to ping my machine from SDF lonestar?
[04:58] <juraj> I'm toying with them too see if I can get my ISDN connection
[04:59] <sandr1> ma non  in italiano?
[04:59] <krammer> how can i get to the xorg.conf to remove what i edited
[04:59] <mattgyver83> Is there a way to force an upgrade with the update manager, it prompts "Could not calculate the upgrade" when trying to upgrade distros from 6.10 to 7.04
[04:59] <juraj> ...and I have no clue what to do next ;)
[04:59] <Blackthorn> were do i find modprobe file in ubuntu ?
[04:59] <K3nto> THX-1138: ok i turned off all the effects, and that made it a bit better, all i need now is fullscreen :)
[04:59] <lwizardl> jrib, ok it works now thanks
[05:00] <juraj> mattgyver83: that is caused by non-official repositories or packages
[05:00] <stefg> krammer: depenfing on what editor you used there's probably a backup file ending in ~ or .bak right next to your xorg.conf
[05:00] <genii> uptownben: make a file, ~/.startx                 in the file, put the command to load your wm
[05:00] <B-rabbit> how do you un-capture the keyboard & mouse(if it is captured) in virtualbox?
[05:00] <nathan> how do I change my default torrent program from 'bittorrent' to deluge ?
[05:01] <THX-1138> K3nto:  It's in the game itself. (runs nicelly with two monitors also. - great fun)
[05:01] <krammer> i dont think i can rectify this problem running on a live cd?
[05:01] <juraj> nobody has experience with ISDN? :-)
[05:01] <K3nto> THX-1138: so how do i change it?
[05:01] <krammer> i need to remove what I added to the file
[05:01] <uptownben> genii:OK can do that.. but that file currently doesnt exist, how does linux know which WM to load?
[05:02] <K3nto> THX-1138: also it turns black and white at random. when its b&W it stops loading
[05:02] <THX-1138> K3nto: just change the game resolution. inside the game. I like windowed mode for the ability to move WoW around.
[05:02] <gcostello> jabba_da_hut: have you set up port forwarding from your router for ping?
[05:03] <K3nto> THX-1138: its in the B&W frozen form right now : /
[05:03] <genii> uptownben: The ~/.startx  and ~/.xinitrc files tell X what wm to use
[05:03] <jabba_da_hut> which is the port for ping?
[05:03] <jabba_da_hut> Ok it is 7
[05:04] <uptownben> genii: .xinitrc also doesnt exist, I currently have icewm installed and that is what keeps coming up after logging in via XDM
[05:04] <SlimeyPe1e> jabba_da_hut: no it isn't. 7 is the old echo port. Ping uses ICMP (no port)
[05:04] <kon> jabba_da_hut, it's ICMP
[05:04] <THX-1138> K3nto: there some command line switches inside WoW itself to to refresh the display once they are typed you can reuse them by bringing down the game console.
[05:04] <genii> uptownben: instead of putting: fluxbox &&       in startx you could put in xinitrc: exec startfluxbox
[05:04] <genii> uptownben: If they are not existing now you make them :)

[05:06] <genii> uptownben: It is the default one that xdm will use as fallback in it's own config if it doesn't find one of those 2 files in your ~
[05:07] <lwizardl> jrib, ok I was wrong I can drag and drop files into the drive but I can not create folders etc from  within the gui
[05:07] <mweichert> how do I determine which arch of ubuntu I have installed? I forget whether I installed the 32-bit or 64-bit version
[05:07] <jrib> lwizardl: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[05:07] <lwizardl> ok
[05:07] <stefg> version
[05:08] <jrib> mweichert: uname -a
[05:08] <stefg> !version
[05:08] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[05:09] <mweichert> jrib: what would I expect to see if I had the 32bit version installed?
[05:09] <mweichert> i686?
[05:09] <jrib> mweichert: that's 32bit
[05:09] <uptownben> genii: so cant I just change XDM's default?
[05:09] <mweichert> jrib: thanks
[05:09] <uptownben> not just for MY login
[05:09] <genii> uptownben: You can also do: sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
[05:10] <genii> uptownben: That will change the xdm one
[05:10] <uptownben> I did not install x-window-manager.. I used xorg
[05:10] <koan> Can i install windows on top of ubuntu ?
[05:10] <uptownben> I want to change the WM for the system not for one user.
[05:11] <uptownben> Now I
[05:11] <uptownben> Now I'm getting a BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!
[05:11] <uptownben> Is that an UBUNTU bug?
[05:12] <THX-1138> koan it's seems easier to install windows first. the windows install pirates the bootsector. - easy enough to fix if you understand grub-install but that is fearsome new territory for a new ubuntu user.
[05:12] <SlimeyPe1e> uptownben: looks more like a Linux bug, but googling may tell you more
[05:13] <kkangdom> uhm...
[05:14] <kkangdom> chrisle has quit
[05:14] <kkangdom> xchat is good
[05:14] <uptownben> I only get it in UBUNTU
[05:15] <SlimeyPe1e> uptownben: then it might be an ubuntu issue. File a bug on the launchpad :)
[05:15] <coma> Does anyone have an up to date istruction on installing Pidgin
[05:15] <uptownben> I googled and it looks like it's filed under "let's ignore it and it will go away"..
[05:16] <uptownben> I had high hopes for UBUNTU
[05:16] <SlimeyPe1e> it's not capitalised, btw
[05:16] <SlimeyPe1e> but yeah, some bugs do seem to get ignored, it's a little irritating but then canonical don't have an army of devs
[05:18] <Andeh> Hi
[05:18] <Andeh> What's a good program for writing/compiling/debugging C code (not C++) in a nice GUI?
[05:18] <lmosher> Can anyone help me w/ the side buttons (pushing scroll wheel left or right)? In my previous Ubuntu install xev reported them as 'XF86Forward' and 'XF86Back', but now I only get 1 of them as "Button 6", but the other one doesn't work. How can I fix this?
[05:18] <BFC> hi. i just installed xgl. I think everything went fine. How do i know if xgl is running?
[05:18] <genii> uptownben: Changing xdm default wm is sytemwide
[05:18] <computermc> Can someone tell me how to use tcpdump and using my local gateway as the interface?
[05:19] <lmosher> BFC, Open a terminal, try: ps aux | grep xgl
[05:19] <Andeh> What's a good program for writing/compiling/debugging C code (not C++) in a nice GUI?
[05:19] <predaeus> andeh, look for anjuta, code-blocks, kdevelope, etc. and please don't repeat so quickly.
[05:19] <Andeh> ok, thanks!
[05:20] <BFC> lmosher: I get this " 6170  0.0  0.0   2880   748 pts/1    R+   18:19   0:00 grep xgl"
[05:20] <predaeus> Andeh, also if it is just a very small application you can go with only gedit, ddd (for debugging) and a console.
[05:20] <wlghwrlgh> get packetlist
[05:20] <Andeh> Ah
[05:20] <Andeh> I'll try KDevelop though
[05:21] <lmosher> BFC, Then it doesn't appear to be running, b/c that's just your grep process. xgl should show up in your process list
[05:22] <uptownben> genii: I want a system wide change, the problem now is that I cant even boot because I get that ubuntu BUG: soft lockup  error and the system wont sytart
[05:22] <uptownben> *start
[05:23] <uptownben> I guess it's back to puppylinux
[05:23] <BFC> lmosher: i just checked my process list and it seems to be there
[05:24] <uptownben> I really like ubuntu, it seems so slick, but if I it requires the same hardware as windows xp , whats the difference?
[05:25] <Blackthorn> I need to have a modprobe command to start on each bootup were do I place this?
[05:26] <uptownben> I've been trying for 3 days to get ubuntu, xubuntu,fluxbuntu installed on my ibm thinkpad x24 to no avail. it either locks up or crawls slower that any windows box I've ever seen.
[05:26] <bipolar> Does sudo use any tmp files in the users home directory to do anything? I'm having trouble with sudo not working with LDAP users and NFS mounted home directorys
[05:26] <uptownben> Well, it booted up again.
[05:26] <lmosher> Can anyone help me w/ the side buttons (pushing scroll wheel left or right)? In my previous Ubuntu install xev reported them as 'XF86Forward' and 'XF86Back', but now I only get 1 of them as "Button 6", but the other one doesn't work. How can I fix this?
[05:26] <uptownben> genii: after I added the exec startfluxbox to ~/.xinitrc it still doesnt start into fluxbox..

[05:40] <padavoine> mullins: oops wrong link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=56253&highlight=moto4lin
[05:40] <padavoine> mullins: follow the HOWTO
[05:40] <SoulChild> when i click extra effect in appearnce i have no window boarders and no effects ,... clicking normal effects activates compiz ,... is there a package missing for extra effects ?
[05:40] <mullins> how do i  get root permission
[05:41] <padavoine> SoulChild: what extra effects?
[05:41] <SoulChild> mullins: sudo
[05:41] <SoulChild> padavoine: compiz
[05:41] <padavoine> SoulChild: there is no extra effect in the preferences menu?
[05:41] <mullins> it still wont let me
[05:41] <Andeh> Compile, Build, Go and Stop Executing are all greyed out in SciTE. Why?
[05:41] <padavoine> SoulChild: there is only Desktop Effects, no Extra Effects, no Normal Effects
[05:41] <SoulChild> padavoine: when i click system settings appearence and then Desktop effects
[05:41] <padavoine> SoulChild: yes
[05:42] <SoulChild> padavoine: ohh sorry forgot to say that i have gutsy isntalled
[05:42] <mullins> is there a new linux out there
[05:42] <padavoine> SoulChild: right lol
[05:42] <padavoine> then
[05:42] <padavoine> SoulChild: #ubuntu+1
[05:42] <padavoine> SoulChild: for gutsy support
[05:42] <SoulChild> padavoine: thank you
[05:42] <padavoine> SoulChild: but anyway maybe your hardware doesn't support Compiz Fusion
[05:42] <SoulChild> padavoine: that could be the reason ,..
[05:42] <padavoine> mullins: there is no such thing as "a new linux"
[05:42] <mullins> or ubuntu
[05:43] <padavoine> mullins: linux is just the core OS, there are many distributions available, Ubuntu is just one of them
[05:43] <cry1> what version of ubuntu are you using?
[05:43] <mullins> what would be the best
[05:43] <cry1> for you? easylinux
[05:43] <cry1> ;)
[05:43] <mullins> thanks
[05:43] <padavoine> mullins: the best would be for you to learn about linux
[05:43] <mullins> im only 15
[05:43] <ReX0r> lol
[05:43] <padavoine> mullins: there is no such distro

[05:44] <padavoine> mullins: age is not a problem
[05:44] <_packrat> is there a way to reset the keybindings for volume control? Somehow I can no longer control the volume
[05:44] <mullins> wowo
[05:44] <THX-1138> Be patient it will take a little time and a lot of readiiing to learn it. likely as much time as spent on the Redmond WA. OS.
[05:44] <padavoine> mullins: you could try pclinuxos though
[05:44] <morph_> anyone seen that problem before
[05:44] <mullins> whats that
[05:44] <padavoine> mullins: it's another distro, suposed to be ver user-frienly.
[05:45] <mullins> ok
[05:45] <padavoine> mullins: http://www.pclinuxos.com/ but if you don't want to learn to use an operating system, stick to windows
[05:45] <JohnShortland> mullins: you could also try linuxmint or freespire
[05:45] <hyperactivecrond> my desktop doesn't have any icons.. i think i borked something in my session properties. what usually shows the desktop icons?

[05:46] <hyperactivecrond> yeah but iirc it manages the desktop too
[05:47] <mullins> and when i try to open add remove i get this
[05:47] <mullins> This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.
[05:47] <Juhaz> cry1, yes
[05:48] <Juhaz> cry1, but it also manages the desktop
[05:48] <hyperactivecrond> isn't there a gnomerc somewhere?

[05:48] <mullins> yeah

[05:53] <etyrnal> GTK doesn't seem to like it when you launch a program that has it's files chmod'd  w/ set UID and SET GID
[05:53] <ozbilna> zdr
[05:53] <neverblue> !pastebin | mariodo
[05:53] <ubotu> mariodo: 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)
[05:53] <mariodo> ok ... just a sec
[05:53] <gvsa123> fevel: right click on the panel, then properties

[05:55] <mariodo> the computer is running "kubuntu" ... i hope this isn't a problem ... but i came in here too because i didn't get an answer there at #kubuntu
[05:55] <gvsa123> fevel: i'm not sure you can change the color of that... but you can resize them.. pretty cool
[05:56] <nephish> mariodo, open a terminal and type xsane
[05:56] <fevel> gvsa123, I can only change the panel collors and not the font collor

[05:57] <tonyT_G_Farmer> This is a Linux-in-general type of question: Is there a way to create a user who has full privileges to copy the entire system using rsync but not be root. This user will also need SSH access. So basically all that the user should be able to do is ssh into the box and back it up with rsync but not have root's full privileges to roam around and mess things up. Let me know if i'm hitting the pipe too much or if its actually possible

[05:59] <rudy_1> I started the browser for the first tiem with this user, i have uploaded all the security updates with other users...
[05:59] <rudy_1> is it necessary for each single user?
[05:59] <mariodo> nephish, ... i'll be back in a minute ... i'll have to restart xchat
[05:59] <nephish> ok
[05:59] <SlimeyPe1e> rudy_1: wouldn't have thought so, but I'm not sure - all of my boxes are single-user.

[06:04] <lufis> Penguinsaremyfri: rmdir
[06:04] <Frogzoo> !appdb | christian__
[06:04] <ubotu> christian__: Appdb is a database of apps & help for programs that run under wine: see http://appdb.winehq.org

[06:04] <Penguinsaremyfri> thanks. could not remember

[06:05] <Penguinsaremyfri> what if it is not empty?
[06:05] <Pici> christian__: Its a website
[06:05] <nephish> mariodo, open a terminal and type xsane
[06:05] <Pici> christian__: Also check out #winehq

[06:06] <lufis> to delete everything inside it
[06:06] <Pici> Penguinsaremyfri: rm -rf directory

[06:07] <Penguinsaremyfri> Anyone know how to install vegastrike from the .run file?
[06:08] <Pici> Penguinsaremyfri: I believe vegastrike is in the repos, you shouldnt have to install from the run file.
[06:08] <Pici> !info vegastrike
[06:08] <ubotu> vegastrike: A 3d space combat game. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.3-5ubuntu3 (feisty), package size 4776 kB, installed size 12184 kB (Only available for i386 powerpc sparc mips mipsel s390 alpha arm ia64 hppa amd64 ppc64 kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64)
[06:09] <Penguinsaremyfri> I downloaded the .run file from a computer that had access to high speed, my ubuntu will not obtain an ip address from wireless, so it is internet-less
[06:09] <christian__> Pici: Ok, tnx. :) Which server is #winehq in?
[06:09] <Pici> christian__: Freenode, this server.
[06:09] <cry2> can i save the configuration of iwconfig somehow?
[06:10] <Pici> Penguinsaremyfri: Okay.  do this then: `chmod +x vegastrike.run` `sudo ./vegastrike.run`
[06:10] <Pici> Penguinsaremyfri: Where vegastrike.run is the name of your .run file obviously
[06:10] <christian__> Pici: k, tnx.

[06:10] <uygar> hej, is ubuntu or debian better for a php web-server ?
[06:10] <SoulChild> why does grub use the UUID of a device???
[06:11] <SoulChild> how do i change that ?
[06:11] <lufis> red: does it not work under sane?
[06:11] <SoulChild> uygar: debian
[06:11] <Pici> !uuid | SoulChild
[06:11] <ubotu> SoulChild: 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)
[06:11] <SoulChild> Pici: i did that already ,...

[06:12] <uygar> which one is better ?
[06:12] <adaptr> "better"
[06:12] <lufis> uygar: come on, your answers are going to be a bit biased ;)
[06:12] <kaushal> if i want to know which all services are started
[06:12] <Zuph> uygar: They're both solid choices.  We can help you with Ubuntu, though.
[06:12] <DaBeowulf> 'lo, can anybody tell me if one of these should run on Feisty?: http://rpmseek.com/rpm-pl/xsidplay-libsidplay2.html?hl=com&cx=1999:X:200
[06:12] <Penguinsaremyfri> that did not work. If I just click on the file, it will install, but I cannot get the program launcher of configure the game

[06:14] <soskel> can I have my program featured as a stock application in gusty?
[06:14] <uygar> Zuph, yes i know both they are good solitons, however i need to know the better one
[06:14] <PriceChild> kaushal, help.ubuntu.com
[06:14] <lufis> kaushal: if you're experienced with linux, ubuntu isn't all that different
[06:14] <PriceChild> soskel, come into #ubuntu-motu :)
[06:14] <kaushal> ok
[06:15] <AutoMatriX> PriceChild, what's the meaning of 'motu' ?
[06:15] <PriceChild> !motu | AutoMatriX
[06:15] <ubotu> AutoMatriX: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[06:15] <Zuph> uygar: Neither is "better" than the other.  Debian has a reputation for being rock solid, while Ubuntu typically releases updates faster.
[06:15] <Davy_Jones> !vista
[06:15] <ubotu> vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org
[06:16] <AutoMatriX> tx PriceChild, i finaly understand how to makle u_botu talking :D
[06:16] <Zuph> uygar: Which isn't to say that Ubuntu is unstable or that Debian isn't up to date.  They'll BOTH do whatever you need them to.

[06:19] <cry2> sudo modprobe -r pcspkr perhaps?
[06:19] <NewColin> I am trying to make the switch over to Ubuntu from Windows, and am having a problem installing from my CD.  Perhaps someone could assist me?
[06:19] <christian__> Pici: Do you any more channels for support? No one is active at #winehq
[06:19] <Davy_Jones> is there a way to adjust the sound volume in one application and let that not affect the other programs volume?
[06:19] <cry2> set bell-style none
[06:20] <Davy_Jones> kinda like better software mixing
[06:20] <cry2> newcolin: what problems?
[06:20] <Pici> !freenode | christian__  there is a list here

The subsequent errors are for all of the SATA drives I have.
[06:27] <cassio> the driver is set to ' vesa'
[06:27] <nasser> hii
[06:27] <[Ramy] > how i can reload the fstab after configuration ? do i have to restart >?
[06:27] <cassio> how can i turn on the options for greater screen resolutions?
[06:27] <NewColin> Another error I get is [213.670940]  ata3.01 failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40)
[06:27] <pierrette> salut tout le monde
[06:27] <nasser> who can help me to calculate my tv modeline ?
[06:27] <NewColin> Any ideas?
[06:28] <dxdt> [Ramy] : restarting is easiest.  It might actually be the only safe way.

[06:29] <maaks> sorry
[06:29] <maaks> i was sure i was on the french channel
[06:29] <Lappy> can u compile the kernel if you're running on wubi... because I did and it was messed up.. it gave me something like unable to mount, and then 'fs' smth... damn should have worte the error down.
[06:29] <faileas> naw, its ok, i can understand a little ;)
[06:30] <faileas> lappy: no reason you shouldn't
[06:30] <Lappy> faileas: any special way of doing it?
[06:30] <faileas> NAFAIK
[06:30] <faileas> well
[06:30] <Thunor> Does anyone know of an open source video screen capture program?
[06:31] <faileas> if your /user is ok (on wubi its a seperate partition, move it out, uninstall/treinstall, move it back in
[06:31] <lufis> Thunor: instanbul
[06:31] <simoncpu> hello
[06:31] <SoulChild> how do i deactivate UUID's in grub/menu.lst ??? tried already to change "kopt" to "/ev/hda3" but update-grub still puts the UUID's as device names , any help would be great !
[06:31] <James_> Hello
[06:31] <dxdt> Thunor: like cap a screen of a video you are watching?  VLC, mplayer, etc will do that.
[06:31] <simoncpu> is apt-get install linux-image-<version>  the correct command for installing a new kernel?
[06:31] <Thunor> dxdt: there's no standalone program specifically meant for it?
[06:32] <James_> I was wondering if you guys could help me with installing ubuntu latest
[06:32] <simoncpu> James_: ubuntu 7.04 sucks
[06:32] <cassio> hello, i'm trying to change the screen resolution in kubuntu feisty, but i can't change it to more than 800  x 600. How can i change this? my video card is onboard and kubuntu is using vesa diver for it
[06:32] <James_> Ive downloaded the desktop version, followed the instructions to burning it on a CD
[06:32] <dxdt> simoncpu: use aptitude it is like apt-get but better.  and yeah pretty much  you can always do aptitude search linux or kernel and fine what kernel you want
[06:32] <PriceChild> simoncpu, please don't
[06:32] <mikeh269> Sorry to bother you, but I've just installed 5.1 since I had a CD of it lying around, how would I go about updating it somewhat?
[06:32] <PriceChild> !upgrade | mikeh269
[06:32] <ubotu> mikeh269: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[06:33] <mikeh269> why thankyou PriceChild
[06:33] <ecaandrew> does anyone know why apache 2.2 and php5 isn't working together, apache loads fine, but php pages wont display. =[
[06:33] <simoncpu> okidoki, thanks for the info :)
[06:33] <PriceChild> james have you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installing ?
[06:33] <James_> My computer is just booting into windows, not into ubuntu, i have my boot order set to CD first and i burned it correctly
[06:33] <simoncpu> if all else fails, i'll go back to Edgy
[06:33] <PriceChild> James_, hmm
[06:33] <simoncpu> with its stable 2.6.17 kernel
[06:33] <simoncpu> :p
[06:34] <dxdt> ecaandrew: More than likely there is a small error in one of the configs.  Go through both php.ini and apache2.conf and look for stuff about PHP that you might need to enable.
[06:34] <Lappy> faileas: do you mean I should move my home.virutual.disk?
[06:34] <ecaandrew> dxdt: where is the apache2.conf located?
[06:34] <faileas> Lappy: move it somewhere else
[06:34] <faileas> uninstall wubi
[06:35] <faileas> reinstall
[06:35] <Some_Person> The beginning of Linux: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.minix/browse_thread/thread/76536d1fb451ac60/b5fb8c0380d0edae
[06:35] <simoncpu> ecaandrew: i believe it's httpd.conf
[06:35] <dxdt> ecaandrew: /etc/apache2/  I think.  Also make sure you have the libraries for apache2 and php5 installed.  libapache2-mod-php5 or something similar
[06:35] <dxdt> no, with apache2 it is not httpd.conf, that is apache 1
[06:35] <James_> What should the Checksum of the latest ubuntu be?
[06:35] <Lappy> faileas: uninstalling wubi = uninstalling ubuntu = not what I want, I want to implement the new kernel.
[06:35] <dxdt> though httpd.conf will still be there
[06:35] <Myelin> Hello, is Gnome or KDE more suitable for 256 MB ram?
[06:35] <ecaandrew> okay :) thank you
[06:35] <simoncpu> dxdt: hmm... i guess it's been a long time since i've last used apache
[06:35] <faileas> Lappy: reinstall. zip up ALL the files. try again
[06:35] <lufis> Myelin: you might try xfce
[06:36] <dxdt> simoncpu: yeah it is weird they changed things around.
[06:36] <faileas> if it happens again, unzip and you have a nice working syste again
[06:36] <James_> Guys can anyone help me out or not?
[06:36] <James_> Its probably simple
[06:36] <Myelin> lufis: But among them, what would be better?
[06:36] <KurtKraut> simoncpu, they are quite nice. I suggest using lighttpd as a full replacement to Apache
[06:36] <simoncpu> James_: the checksum is in MD5SUM file :)
[06:36] <lufis> Myelin: hmm I dunno, seems like they both typically equal out. i would say gnome, but that's subjective
[06:37] <simoncpu> KurtKraut: yepp yepp... we're actually using lighttpd for the webGUI for an open source firewall that we're making :)
[06:37] <genii> I like xfce
[06:37] <Myelin> Is installing Xfce4 on Ubuntu as Xubuntu?
[06:37] <ecaandrew> thank you
[06:37] <ecaandrew> brb
[06:37] <James_> ok
[06:37] <James_> my check sums are the same
[06:37] <lufis> Myelin: yeah, the package is xubuntu-desktop
[06:37] <KurtKraut> simoncpu, I'm glad to know that.
[06:37] <dxdt> Myelin: I would suggest XFCE or Fluxbox with that little amount of ram honestly.  xubuntu-desktop is the package to do that or just get the xubuntu cd :_
[06:37] <Myelin> lufis: Thanks.
[06:37] <Lappy> faileas: again, how would that help me.. the new kernel isn't final I had to compile it... it's not with the installation and stuf..
[06:37] <James_> and i followed the instructions for burning the iso and thats fine
[06:37] <lufis> Myelin: or you can just install xubuntu to begin with, your choice if you want to try both out
[06:37] <wesleywillians> peopleo i have just installed my ubuntu and the msttcorefonts.. but i cant use verdana, arial, etc.. any idea?
[06:38] <Myelin> dxdt: Thanks.
[06:38] <faileas> lappy: gets your system back up with your files. provides a painfree recovery.
[06:38] <disasm> anyone know of a window manager that lets you stretch one window over multiple desktops besides olvwm?
[06:38] <KurtKraut> wesleywillians, have you restarted OpenOffice after installing mstt* ?
[06:38] <lufis> disasm: i think openbox does that
[06:38] <Lappy> faileas: I dont want a recovery, I need the new kernel to work... i'm using the old kernel now, it's working fine.. I want to fix the new one.
[06:38] <disasm> lufis: really? I know fluxbox doesn, I'll have to give that a shot
[06:38] <graulich> what was that package called, that you should install before compiling anything? make-essentials or something long those lines?
[06:38] <lufis> disasm: lemme try it and see
[06:38] <okidoki> oh hai
[06:38] <wesleywillians> yep.. but even in firefox.. i cannot use see these fonts
[06:39] <faileas> ahhh
[06:39] <okidoki> can anyone help me with some odd apt behaviour?
[06:39] <Random832> ok, i give up - how does the thing where it says "The program 'foo' is not currently installed. You can install it by..." work
[06:39] <lufis> disasm: hm i dunno, maybe it doesn't
[06:39] <Pelo> okidoki,  state the problem and if someone know the answer they will try and help
[06:39] <okidoki> i'm trying to get apt to download packages but its using the wrong nic
[06:39] <christian__>  I actually have project64 installed with wine now, but when I'm trying to run a game nothing happens... What to do?
[06:40] <wesleywillians> i am seeing the sites diferently than windows..
[06:40] <Random832> i can't tell where that functionality lives
[06:40] <christian__> okidoki: Norwegian??
[06:40] <James_> Why does my bootable CD not work, is it a problem with Ubuntu?
[06:40] <James_> I burnt it correctly
[06:40] <James_> And my boot order is right
[06:40] <James_> and the file is fine
[06:40] <Pelo> christian__,  ask in #winehq
[06:40] <ubernewhacks> hey guys. i just have a quick question. where can i get an install disk of ubuntu where i can specify the partition which i install to, is 64 bit, runs well with a geforce 8800 gtx, and a intel quad-core
[06:40] <Pelo> James_,  what's on the cd ?
[06:41] <James_> ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386
[06:41] <okidoki> nope
[06:41] <James_> Im running windows but im trying to boot ubuntu
[06:41] <okidoki> norwegian?
[06:41] <dxdt> James_: Best I could suggest would be to double check the bios and stuffs.  Make sure it was burned right.  And if one is available, try a different machine and see if for sure the cd works.  If it does, then you would know the problem is on your machine
[06:41] <Pelo> James_,  did you put the iso on the cd as a single file or did you "burn an image" to the cd ?
[06:41] <okidoki> apt-get update works but downloads try to use the wrong interface
[06:41] <James_> Ive tried two machines, so i guess its my CD
[06:42] <James_> I burnt image on to CD, so now it has lots of seperate files
[06:42] <ubernewhacks> can someone answer me?
[06:42] <James_> Is using a standard CD R ok, i shouldnt be using RW or DVD or anything like that ?
[06:42] <James_> Its a pretty shit make CD
[06:42] <okidoki> i'm using 7.04 server running apt from the CL
[06:42] <Random832> can your computer boot from other cds?
[06:43] <lufis> James_: Cd-r is the most reliable for that kind of thing
[06:43] <James_> Yes, i also run knoppix
[06:43] <Pelo> ubernewhacks, any ubuntu install cd lets you specify the partition to install to, at the appropriate moment during the install process  step 2 or 3,   but the nvidia and ati support for 64bit is limited,  I can'T garantie yo uwill get a driver for yor card
[06:43] <TBZ> !compile
[06:43] <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!)
[06:43] <okidoki> apt is using eth1 even though I have eth0
[06:43] <James_> Ok, ill try burning it on a different computer and see how it goes
[06:43] <ubernewhacks> dang
[06:44] <dxdt> ubernewhacks: I think you'll just want the 64 bit version of ubuntu for that.  The installer let's you do manual configuration of partitions and stuff so you'll be able to choose and such.  As for the geforce, you'll have to install nvidia driveers after the initial install to get full 3d power.
[06:44] <Pelo> James_, try this for a test unplug your hdds from the computer, and boot with just the cd in
[06:44] <James_> Tried that Pelo
[06:44] <Random832> okidoki: shouldn't apt be using whatever connection has a IP address / gateway / etc? I don't think apt cares at a low enough level to be using a particular ethernet port
[06:44] <James_> It said boot failed, press F2 to retry
[06:44] <Pelo> James_,  can you try the cd in another computer ?
[06:44] <James_> I did
[06:44] <Thunor> Hey, does anyone know of any opensource screencapture software that I can get from the terminal or synaptic?
[06:44] <Pelo> James_,  and ? did it boot theother computer ?
[06:44] <James_> I tried it in my alienware and that booted windows even though CD is set to boot first
[06:45] <lufis> Thunor: what exactly do you mean? from a video, or from your desktop?
[06:45] <Pelo> James_,  then the cd is bad  make another one
[06:45] <Random832> Thunor: imagemagick has 'import'
[06:45] <James_> Its my thrid CD ive treid :s
[06:45] <Random832> if you mean you want one to use from the command line
[06:45] <lufis> James_: What are you using to burn?
[06:45] <Thunor> lufis: I mean, screencapture for video, recording your actions. I'm going to make some video tutorials.
[06:45] <James_> I think its my cd writer
[06:45] <Ahadiel> Thunor: recordmydesktop <== for a screencast
[06:45] <James_> im going to try my other one now
[06:45] <lufis> Thunor: instanbul works well so i hear
[06:45] <Pelo> James_,  step by step tell me how you got from the iso file to the cd ?
[06:45] <James_> Ok
[06:45] <aa_> istanbul + sound is broken in feisty
[06:45] <lufis> aa_: ah
[06:46] <James_> I downloaded the iso from the ubuntu website
[06:46] <Thunor> Thanks, will it work on 64 bit windows, you think?
[06:46] <Thunor> I mean
[06:46] <stuart-> hey guys, someone once had a list of packages to install through synaptic that when used with totem-xine, played all forms of .wmv perfect. anyone have any idea what it is?
[06:46] <Thunor> Ubuntu*
[06:46] <lufis> James_: keep it all on one line if you can, please
[06:46] <simoncpu> aa_:sound is broken in feisty?
[06:46] <simoncpu> oh my.....
[06:46] <James_> Then i downloaded infrarecorder and followed the steps on the ubuntu website step by step
[06:46] <okidoki> Random832: that's what I thought but for some reason its going out on the wrong nic
[06:46] <Pelo> stuart-,  check in hte forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[06:46] <simoncpu> i think i should just stick to edgy or something
[06:46] <aa_> simoncpu: no, istanbul screencapture is broken when enabling sound on feisty
[06:47] <stuart-> Pelo, k
[06:47] <Pelo> james ok stop there ,
[06:47] <simoncpu> aa_: ah, k.....
[06:47] <lufis> stuart-: the package is w32codecs and getting it has changed. see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[06:47] <Pelo> James_,  what os were you one when you burned the cd image ?
[06:47] <kaushal> no one has answered my question regarding
[06:47] <James_> Windows XP
[06:47] <aa_> simoncpu: sound is the best its ever been in feisty
[06:47] <kaushal> which all services is started in ubuntu
[06:47] <Pelo> James_,  what cd burning app do you usualy use in windows xp ?
[06:47] <stuart-> lufis, it was a bunch of other stuff too, had 'lib' in the packages if i'm not mistaken. that played what w32codecs couldn't
[06:48] <ubernewhacks> are there any x64 linux distros that have good nvidia card support?
[06:48] <lufis> stuart-: like libgstreamer, libxine?
[06:48] <simoncpu> aa_: cool... sound is better in my linux box than in my freebsd box
[06:48] <Pelo> ubernewhacks, no
[06:48] <simoncpu> i can hear deeper bass in linux
[06:48] <ixion_uk> does anyone here use fwbuilder ??
[06:48] <simoncpu> same hardware
[06:48] <Pelo> ubernewhacks,  depends on your card check in the forum
[06:48] <James_> MagicISO
[06:48] <Pelo> James_,  then use magic iso to burn the ubuntu.iso to a cd , no need to use anyting else
[06:48] <stuart-> lufis, yeah, those kinda stuff, but not sure if it was a simple lib+name. if i remember correctly, it was klibdec (example) or something
[06:49] <Pelo> James_,  donT you have nero ?
[06:49] <lufis> stuart-: w32codecs takes care of wmv, et al., see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats for the rest
[06:49] <kaushal> :(
[06:49] <tondar> hey all
[06:49] <Pelo> hello tondar and kaushal
[06:49] <stuart-> lufis, w32codecs does take care of most wmv's for me. but the newer ones are screwed up colorwise or it's boxy.
[06:49] <tondar> what is the best player for playing real media files in 'buntu?
[06:49] <okidoki> is there a way to ping using only a specific nic?
[06:49] <tondar> hi Pelo
[06:49] <James_> yes i have that too
[06:49] <okidoki> (on a multinic box)
[06:49] <tondar> Pelo: any ideas
[06:50] <lufis> stuart-: installing all the restricted codecs may help
[06:50] <kaushal> :( :( :(
[06:50] <Pelo> James_, use nero then ,
[06:50] <James_> Ill try both and get back to you
[06:50] <dho_ragus> 'buntu?  that's a new one...

[06:54] <lufis> stuart-: go for it
[06:55] <Pelo> james ? I'm sorry I thought you said it worked
[06:55] <James_> Even though i thought it would work since that opened, when i put it in the computer and booted up, it still goes it windows
[06:55] <tondar> Pelo: you were wrong, there is a repo for real

[06:56] <ubernewhacks> wait a sec, even if i have a x64 bit processor (intel quad-core), and i get the x86 version, will i have the benefits of the processor being 64 bit with linux?
[06:56] <James_> Pelo, its set to boot in the right order and the cd must work, how comes when i put it in it still boots windows on both computers
[06:57] <AgentOrannnge> Pelo, Thank you very much. I understand that this is a text based installer then? So I would need to make it bootable with nero?
[06:57] <ubernewhacks> and you can just respond with uber as the name if you want
[06:57] <ubernewhacks> yo?
[06:57] <Pelo> ubernewhacks, the amd64 bit version doesnT have nvidia and ati drvers for it ,  it has no flash pluggin, and apparently it has java problem, so unless you have a real need for the amd64 version ,  use the  x86 one

The log shows "bad d-i Packages file" or "warning: File/cdrom/dists/feisty/main/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages does not exist" and it's right.. but I can't do nothing about it :-\ So can anyone help me with that?
[07:36] <tiredbones> Pelo,  When I go  the Connection tab under properties, It tells me that the printer is not detected. How could that be if the install found the driver for this printer?

[08:15] <DonAmichi> I own it
[08:15] <benn92647> if its the d link wireless just get the ip add/subnet add and the default gateway add off of your router/modem and input it manually by going to system-admin-network
[08:15] <GullyFoyle> ompaul: newer ones won't install, only this one worked, can i upgrade over the network?
[08:15] <bulmer> DonAmichi: you just type my nick   bulmer at the beginning of your responses

[08:16] <bulmer> DonAmichi: now, does your AP has wired connection too? and am assuming you are using it with your windows?

[08:23] <jrib> devn: I would check the wireless docs first, but to compile things you need to install build-essential and the corresponding -dev packages for your dependencies (the second message from ubotu explains)
[08:23] <Skrit> (did that before coming here (as well as restarting every service linked to alsa)

[08:24] <bulmer> DonAmichi: how about trying this command    lshw
[08:24] <nephish> pants-wd : then do sudo chmod a-x /etc/init.d/crond
[08:24] <bulmer> DonAmichi: look at that output, and look for wireless related stuff
[08:24] <ompaul> _WS_, please stop
[08:24] <pants-wd> nephish: allright
[08:24] <nephish> pants-wd, that removes execute permission
[08:25] <CroX> Does 'pure-uploadscript' permanently add the script to pureftpd? Even when restarted?
[08:25] <bulmer> pants-wd: crontab -e  and delete entries so they dont run..is another way
[08:25] <devn> Pici thank you

[08:30] <bogor> In my pc with ubuntu feisty, some cd's are recognised (i am able to see the contents), while others are not. For example i recently bought a movie "The hitchhiker guide to galaxy" , but it will not open. But i am able to play it on my vcd player. How do i solve this?

[08:31] <Pici> dissection: Does the output of `ls -al ~/Desktop/` look correct?
[08:31] <Pici> bullgard4: What is a kexi table?
[08:32] <drock> benn92647: Do you mean Grub?
[08:32] <bulmer> Penguinsaremyfri: where did you get that run file from?
[08:32] <benn92647> !teratoma yeah i have a PATA drive with window XP on it
[08:32] <gnuskool> bulmer, port forward? i tried uPnP forwarding is that no good?
[08:32] <aguitel_> anyone know how setup usb modem speedstream 4060 ?
[08:32] <Penguinsaremyfri> from the vegastrike site
[08:32] <gnuskool> bulmer, also opened the port on firestarter
[08:32] <bulmer> gnuskool: well you have to know how to configure your dsl/modem/router..it probably has a web page for you to configure it
[08:32] <dissection> Pici: Yes
[08:32] <freddysatellite> i am having trouble running wine on feisty, receiving a page fault even when using winecfg
[08:32] <gnuskool> bulmer, thx mate, will tinker on
[08:32] <teratoma> benn92647: you need to edit your grub configuration
[08:33] <bullgard4> Pici: Kexi is a program that has got an Ubuntu DEB program package. It is a database program similar to MS-Access.
[08:33] <bulmer> gnuskool: dont enable the firewalls yet til you get the dsl/modem/router to accept new incoming connectivities
[08:33] <martyna> i to znowu ja ale sie pewnie zastanawiacie o czym ja gadam ;D ;p
[08:33] <martyna> ale nie wane

[08:33] <BitterUbuntu_> Hey guys, i'm a newbie to Ubuntu today - am really loving it, but having a Nvidia related issue. Could someone give me a hand?
[08:33] <gnuskool> bulmer, righto
[08:33] <Pici> dissection: You could try forcing a fsck on your computer, I'm afraid that the fs tool did something weird.
[08:33] <erUSUL> !nvidia | BitterUbuntu_
[08:33] <ubotu> BitterUbuntu_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[08:33] <teratoma> benn92647: i dont remember the exact syntax and i dont want to tell you anything incorrect.  you should google for 'dual boot' 'grub' 'windows'
[08:33] <Pici> dissection: Try: `sudo touch /forcefsck`  then reboot.
[08:33] <bulmer> DonAmichi: hang on..we need to google for the name of the atheros wifi driver...

[08:36] <bulmer> DonAmichi: i will assume its pci
[08:36] <DonAmichi> bulmer yes
[08:36] <gnuskool> SoulChild, tru
[08:37] <bulmer> DonAmichi: im still googling for atheros driver on ubuntu
[08:37] <SoulChild> gnuskool: ;)
[08:37] <freddysatellite> bogor, wish i could do that, but i cant, i am receiving a page fault, this is happening after upgrading to feisty, i am using the latest wine
[08:37] <SoulChild> gnuskool: the guy in debian channel was faster :D
[08:37] <freddysatellite> bogor, and it did used to work
[08:38] <replman> could this be a problem of the 64bit installation?
[08:38] <bogor> freddysatellite,IIRC mark shuttlework has promised better support for wine. SO things should get better, ie., if you can wait
[08:38] <DonAmichi> bulmer isnt it what I gave you easrlier? AR5212 802.11abg NIC
[08:39] <cohete> How can I tell where a .deb is putting files?
[08:39] <bulmer> DonAmichi: i do not know the name of the driver you can use for it..
[08:39] <freddysatellite> bogor, at the moment all i need is to make wine run and i am on the clear
[08:39] <jrib> cohete: dpkg -L PACKAGE
[08:39] <SoulChild> Pressing TAB after I entered my username in GDM, it does not switch to password, instead it selects my username ,.. why had that been changed and how can i fix this ?
[08:39] <bulmer> DonAmichi: you may have to follow that ndiswrapper tutorial..i cant find an easy atheros tutorial
[08:39] <jrib> devn: there are a few ralink cards on the wireless docs I linked you to.  Was yours not covered?

[08:49] <devn> desperately need some help here folks : as far as I know my wireless card is ralink, but i have no interface showing up as ra0
[08:49] <freddysatellite> thanks, Pici
[08:49] <PoofDaddy> Pici: you tried?
[08:50] <dissection> Pici: I was normally using LinuxReader which mounts the ext3 in Read-only mode. It was the first time I used fs-driver today which mounts it as read/write. I was assured by 3 people in this channel that its really safe to use it. I should have never listened :S
[08:50] <Pici> PoofDaddy: I looked to see if there was a topic, which there isnt, which usually means it doesnt exist or isnt an official channel.
[08:51] <PoofDaddy> Pici: that's too bad.  I really likie it, but there isn't the nice support for it like OOo.
[08:51] <Pici> PoofDaddy: Its possible their support channel isnt on freenode.,
[08:51] <Bender1337> i cant get my live cd to boot up
[08:51] <neverblue> !wireless | devn
[08:51] <ubotu> devn: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:52] <PoofDaddy> Pici: i suspected that, but on the website they make no reference to which one they are on.
[08:52] <devn> yes, ive heard this plenty ubotu
[08:52] <devn> im led to believe my situation is a bit unconventional
[08:52] <devn> because my interface is not named ra0
[08:52] <devn> but it ought to be
[08:53] <Pici> PoofDaddy: http://www.abisource.com/support/help/irc.phtml
[08:53] <neverblue> devn, have you troubleshot the situation, anything you can post on pastebin that might help us help you?>
[08:53] <Pici> devn: Do you have any interfaces with wireless extentions under iwconfig?
[08:53] <Bender1337> if i have a conroe i need to download the amd64 version correct?
[08:53] <devn> wlan0
[08:53] <devn> shows up
[08:53] <neverblue> Bender1337, no
[08:53] <freddysatellite> bogor, i've uninstall wine, then remove from the repositories, now i am doing a fresh start, let's see
[08:53] <neverblue> devn, please keep your questions/responses to one-liners, if possible
[08:54] <Bender1337> neverblue then wich one
[08:54] <jrib> Bender1337: either will work and your better off with 32bit if you don't have a good reason for using 64bit
[08:54] <neverblue> Bender1337, either, 32 or 64
[08:54] <Pici> devn: Okay, so whats the problem?
[08:55] <Bender1337> i think i get a error in regular fiesty fawn
[08:55] <LinuxMafia> hi
[08:55] <LinuxMafia> all
[08:55] <devn> Pici, heh, I wish I could give you a better assessment of the situation
[08:55] <LinuxMafia> how do i can check what packages i have installed containg word java?
[08:55] <Pici> LinuxMafia: dpkg -l | grep java
[08:55] <ecchikind> use some kind of search maybe? :)
[08:55] <devn> it goes something along the lines of this: I'm trying to connect to WPA, or WPA2 if possible using my Ralink chipset wireless card, a linksys to be precise
[08:55] <joebob777as7> hey i have a couple computers accessing an smb share from windows to my ubuntu box and they have to reenter their password every time they turn their computers on in the morning... is there a way to make it so they don't have to re-enter their pw every time?
[08:55] <teratoma> LinuxMafia: dpkg -l | grep java
[08:56] <LinuxMafia> thanks alot guys
[08:56] <LinuxMafia> thanks Pici
[08:56] <devn> however, the ralink docs suggest that I should have an ra0
[08:56] <PoofDaddy> Pici: I still don't see what network they are on.  Only the server.  Is that what I need?
[08:56] <devn> when in fact, i have a wlan0
[08:56] <Bender1337> is it worth geting ubuntu with dialup internet
[08:56] <Pici> PoofDaddy: Yep, thats what you need. just do /connect irc.gnome.org
[08:57] <Pici> devn: Can you pastebin the output of `lsmod` for me?
[08:57] <PoofDaddy> Pici: i'm sorry, but I don't follow your instructions.  Is it fine with my client, Opera?
[08:58] <devn> Pici, sure one second
[08:58] <Pici> PoofDaddy: I dont know how to use Opera's irc client, sorry
[08:58] <ecchikind> Guys, I`m using Radeon R520 X1200 gfx card on my desktop, I`ve looked through everything I could find on the forums via google etc. but I can`t make it to work. I have ubuntu installed for a couple of days only and my goal is to make WoW working under it. Installed wine, but without my gfx card it`s kinda useless... Any advice?
[08:59] <PoofDaddy> Pici: I'll ask the folks on Opera. thanks.  I'll le you know how it goes.
[08:59] <neverblue> ecchikind, huh?

[09:00] <Pici> devn: Just select the text with your cursor, and then paste it wherever.
[09:00] <joe7d6> anyone tried any of these subtitle software. gnome subtitles works fine. what about subtitle editor and another one call guapol something. either there is no package available or failed to run.
[09:01] <devn> weird, it wont copy
[09:01] <freddysatellite> benn92647, which browser are you going to use then?
[09:02] <devn> this is unbelievably annoying, i can't copy the output from lsmod

[09:05] <devn> im getting the gnome terminal
[09:05] <tiredbones> I just spent 4 hrs. trying to get my epson print working. I finally took it to the shop because I knew it worked. apparently MS has software that told tech that I needed a black ink . Is there any software like that for Linux?
[09:06] <Pici> devn: Okay.
[09:06] <ProN00b> can i have the default vnc server (vino) only listen to certain interfaces ?
[09:06] <devn> FWIW, I see that the rt2500 drivers are there

[09:10] <joebob777as7> hey i have a couple computers accessing an smb share from windows to my ubuntu box and they have to reenter their password every time they turn their computers on in the morning... is there a way to make it so they don't have to re-enter their pw every time?
[09:10] <joebob777as7> is it possible?
[09:10] <jrib> Unt182: it's best to just ask your question
[09:10] <Pici> graulich: do you have build-essential installed?
[09:10] <ipx_> If i just had a recent crash (q3 crashes randomly and i have to reboot on the button) is there any logs i can look in to maybe find out what the problem was?
[09:11] <graulich> Pici: I knew I had that package's name wrong! thanks.
[09:11] <kdub432> ipx_ /var/log/Xorg.0.log , if your X server went down
[09:11] <ipx_> kdub432: thanks
[09:11] <ipx_> well, dunno if it was the x-server, but i'll check
[09:12] <kuru> thanks for nothing
[09:12] <ipx_> it just froze, and nothing worked

[09:17] <Linksys> Hi can someone help me install Debian..
[09:17] <ecchikind> I want to make World of Warcraft running under ubuntu using wine. But it seems that my gfx card isn`t supported by ubuntu(that is ati radeon x1800). How can I install drivers for it then?
[09:17] <BitterUbuntu> Hola
[09:17] <BitterUbuntu> thanks to the person that pointed me at the nvidia binary driver stuff
[09:17] <BitterUbuntu> I don't get a white screen when I click desktop effects now
[09:17] <BitterUbuntu> but I do get a 'could not be enabled' error
[09:18] <BitterUbuntu> if anyone could shed some light on it
[09:18] <scorp123> helpmeeee: could be that this feature depends on some sort of driver or something. Did you try to search the forums? Maybe more infos there. Or else I'd suggest to 'lurk' in this channel and wait a while ... maybe someone will drop in who knows how to solve this.
[09:18] <Linksys> Hi need some help

[09:28] <gnuskool> InFernAI, i have it on a 486, 128MB RAM, its quite fast
[09:29] <Pici> devn: Good luckk

[09:29] <tan> olejorgenb: in gparted, it should be easy to do, just unmount the part first I think
[09:30] <gnuskool> InFernAI, which services+
[09:30] <[InFeRnAl] > Xorg
[09:30] <gnuskool> InFernAI, type free at console, how swap you got ?
[09:31] <[InFeRnAl] > how?
[09:31] <[InFeRnAl] > like copy past?
[09:31] <[InFeRnAl] > :D
[09:31] <Bender1337> will ubuntu automatically detect my 56 modem?
[09:31] <gnuskool> InFernAI, type free at console, how much swap, type 'free'
[09:31] <jellymaster> hello everyone I have a question,I finally got it to start installing now that i'm back from vacation and fixed the graphics card,but when it tries to partition the harddrive it gives a resize failure error
[09:31] <olejorgenb> tan, apparently you had to do it manually (from the terminal)
[09:32] <gnuskool> jellymaster, what is it saying exactly?
[09:32] <[InFeRnAl] > 4522256
[09:32] <[InFeRnAl] > total 4522256
[09:32] <[InFeRnAl] > i've on a hd with 160 gb
[09:33] <rockets> To give somebody administrative sudo privileges just add them to the admin group right?
[09:33] <[InFeRnAl] > used swap 0
[09:33] <xubu> are there any network tweaks i can do in ubuntu? i used to get double my download speed in vista.
[09:33] <dromer> how can I refresh my network-settings after I connect to my network?
[09:33] <gnuskool> InFernAI,  ok your swap isint on I'd say, is it single boot or dual, did you auto partition at install or manual partition?
[09:34] <tan> olejorgenb: don't think that should be necessary, but whatever works, works -right :)
[09:34] <mzanfardino> for reasons I'd care not to go into I have lilo as my boot loader instead of grubs.  I need to alter some of the options for the boot but don't know where the lilo settings are stored.  Any help?
[09:34] <olejorgenb> tan, yeah :)
[09:34] <gnuskool> xubu, in firefox?
[09:34] <jellymaster> I tried to use the default guided option,the first choice,it starts to do it then it just says: An error occured while writing the change to the storage devices. The resize operation is aborted
[09:34] <hannes_> im trying to use a vertical refreshrate of 100Hz at a resolution of 1280x1024 but this gnome tool in the prefs menu does not allow rates higher than 85Hz..?
[09:34] <xubu> gnuskool, yeah swiftfox, is what i used to test it
[09:35] <[InFeRnAl] > gnuskool - auto partition
[09:35] <jellymaster> I tried to run the install again but that didn't help should I just try another option,like manual, or reboot and try again
[09:35] <dimension> hi there - was wondering how to set up my scanner via usb with xsane its a epson dx4000 scanner and printer. it automatically picked up the printer and had the driver on a list for installation but i dont know what to do to get the scanner setup
[09:35] <olejorgenb> tan, would you recommend ext2 or ext3 if I want to use the partition from windows?
[09:35] <dimension> any suggestions
[09:36] <tan> olejorgenb: haven't used any of them from windows, so..... :P
[09:36] <olejorgenb> tan, ok :)
[09:36] <tan> olejorgenb: maybe fat? lol :P
[09:36] <olejorgenb> tan, haha, no thanks
[09:36] <tan> heh :P
[09:37] <gnuskool> xubu, not sure on swiftfox
[09:37] <olejorgenb> tan, Is ext3 a lot better than ext2?
[09:37] <olejorgenb> tan, apart from the journaling
[09:37] <[InFeRnAl] > gnuskool is in dual boot and auto-partition with 2 hard disks one for winxp and other for ubuntu
[09:37] <xubu> gnuskool, yeah firefox also just tried it
[09:37] <tan> olejorgenb: yes, in my opinion, but I'm not an expert....
[09:37] <XLV> olejorgenb, ext2 or ext3, and use explore2fs from windows
[09:38] <XLV> olejorgenb, it works only in read mode, it cant write in ext2/3 partition
[09:39] <marti149> hi guys , how can I run dual monitors on my radeon w/ ubuntu ?
[09:39] <olejorgenb> XLV, ext2 IFS writes too
[09:39] <jellymaster> Well i'll be right back,i'll leave myself in here,i'm gunna try rebooting the computer and rerunning the install
[09:40] <olejorgenb> XLV, but I think if you write to an ext3 partition you will have to do a check on next boot  (from linux)
[09:40] <jcs7778> Im trying to install cairo dock, Im following an instruction page on ubuntu forms but one of the commands is ./configure, when i try to do it i get permission denied, if i try sudo ./configure i get the same message
[09:40] <XLV> olejorgenb, exactly
[09:40] <olejorgenb> XLV, so ext2 would be better, right?
[09:40] <jcs7778> im having this problem compilinng other programs aswell
[09:40] <axelm7> hello everyone, I have an old P133 128MB RAM 8gb HD that I was going to throw away. Do you guys think I could get X with Firefox running on this hardware?
[09:41] <[InFeRnAl] > gnuskool?
[09:41] <kdub432> olejorgenb: you can disable boot checking of disks in fstab
[09:41] <olejorgenb> kdub432, ah, that might be an idea

[09:42] <magali> -i
[09:42] <gnuskool> InFernAI,  soz, seems odd that your swap would be zero after an auto install, type sudo fdisk -l
[09:42] <jcs7778> axelm7 try something like xfce, ive had success with it and older hardware
[09:42] <genefitz> marti149: This may be a good place to start http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[09:42] <olejorgenb> kdub432, and it's no harm in doing that (not checking after write from windows IFS)?
[09:42] <BOBSONATOR> magali what exactly is wrong
[09:43] <axelm7> jcs7778, is xfce available in the ubuntu installation CD?
[09:43] <gnuskool> InFernAI,  whats it say about linuxswap partition?
[09:43] <magali> BOBSONATOR: i gonna paste menu.lst and fstab to help you to understand my problem
[09:43] <feo> hi
[09:43] <gnuskool> magali, state the problem, rather than ask to say it
[09:44] <feo> somebody has a vaio laptop?
[09:44] <jcs7778> i actually think that it is xubuntu axelm or try the debian vfce installer debian.org, they both work but debian is harder to set up with internet

[09:45] <feo> someone has problem setting the sensibility of the touchpad on gnome? when i set a different sensibility value only affect to the usb mouse
[09:45] <gnuskool> InFernAI,  do you have other devices, usb, external HD and the like?
[09:45] <axelm7> jcs7778, i am downloading the ubuntu 7.04 image, is there a xubuntu image or is it an installtion option?
[09:46] <[InFeRnAl] > gnuskool you see my past ?
[09:46] <SeveredCross> axelm7: xubuntu is a different image.
[09:46] <magali> BOBSONATOR: gnuskool you see my problem ?
[09:46] <genefitz> feo, are you using the mouse or the touchpat by default?
[09:46] <genefitz> touchpad even
[09:46] <Bender1337> will ubuntu auto dect my 56k modem or will i need to download the drivers?
[09:47] <axelm7> SeveredCross and jcs7778, thanks for your help, i'll give it a try
[09:47] <feo> genefitz, new i have the usb mouse unplugged, i dont know what do you want meant with default mouse, where can i set it?
[09:47] <devn> how do i find something i just friggen installed
[09:47] <devn> please?
[09:47] <OzRiC> u.u
[09:47] <genefitz> feo: what I am asking is if you normally use touchpad or mouse.
[09:47] <jcs7778> axelm7 no' you need a special installer, you can use apt-get to install xfce later but ive found that that usually leades to some annoying glitches, along with the fact that any after the fact installs will usually not have all of the native xfce apps which is annoying
[09:47] <dustin> yello?
[09:48] <dustin> my window selector has been deleted by me and im retarded and cant get it back
[09:48] <jellymaster> ok was trying it again and it didn't work out very well same error and I looked
[09:48] <jellymaster> @ the crash report it said ubiquity crashed and I sent an error report
[09:48] <genefitz> dustin, you deleted your windows loader?
[09:48] <kdub432> dustin: right click on a panel, click on 'window selector'
[09:49] <benn92647> I am so $#*! sick of this flashplayer $%!&@..can some please tell me why terminal wont run the installer?
[09:49] <dustin> ther is no option for window selector
[09:49] <benn92647> 4 days with this flashplayer crap
[09:49] <SeveredCross> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[09:49] <kdub432> *right click on a panel, click on "add to panel", add the "window list"
[09:49] <imbecile> how do i know how my free space i have on my hd? (note: I dont have any other partitions on the disk)
[09:50] <SeveredCross> Right click on a panel, click "Add To Panel", then click Window Selector and click add.
[09:50] <Bender1337> will ubuntu auto dect my 56k modem or will i need to download the drivers?
[09:50] <SeveredCross> imbecile: You can use gnome-system-monitor, baobab, or in a terminal df -H
[09:50] <benn92647> no cant use that one it wont work Severed Cross-I got the newest beta version..but can get it to run
[09:50] <SeveredCross> Bender1337: If it's a winmodem, no.
[09:50] <axelm7> another question, will 7.10 beta be upgradable without reinstalling to 7.10 final?
[09:50] <SeveredCross> benn92647: Why won't it work?
[09:50] <dustin> ok thank you
[09:50] <SeveredCross> axelm7: It should be, just a dist-upgrade I would think.
[09:50] <imbecile> SeveredCross:  thank you
[09:50] <kdub432> benn92647: just copy the libflashplayer.so into the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory. don't bother w/ the installer
[09:50] <Mathman> imbecile: gparted is kinda cool too
[09:50] <axelm7> ok, I will try 7.10, since 7.04 is more than six months old
[09:51] <SeveredCross> Yeah, but gparted needs root privileges.
[09:51] <SeveredCross> axelm7: Actually...
[09:51] <SeveredCross> Feisty is only ~4 months old.
[09:51] <SeveredCross> :)
[09:51] <benn92647> !SeveredCross..you rule! ok let me see if that works
[09:51] <SeveredCross> At least the release version.
[09:51] <ThatGuy> hello
[09:51] <genefitz> feo: try starting here, it may be able to help you adjust touchpad sensitivity http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=218307
[09:51] <ThatGuy> I was wondering if firewalls are nessasay in Ubuntu?
[09:51] <kdub432> ThatGuy: not really, unless youre real concerned about security
[09:52] <ThatGuy> ok thanks
[09:52] <feo> thanks genefitz
[09:52] <Mathman> ThatGuy: would depend on your setup.  necessary?  probably not.  but it wouldn't hurt I'm sure.
[09:52] <ThatGuy> OK thanks a lot guys
[09:52] <genefitz> ThatGuy, firewals are necessary depending on your setup. I keep a fire3wall on my system, I aqm directly connected high speed..
[09:52] <jellymaster> Can anyone tell me what I should do since the installer won't run the partitioner I tried manual but that didn't work
[09:53] <benn92647> !kdub432 how do i log in as root
[09:53] <chris32154_Dinze> i cant keep ubuntu fisty running for more than a week before i gotta reinstall it becouse i cant logon anymore, what do you think the problem could be?
[09:53] <kdub432> sudo su
[09:53] <SeveredCross> Eek!
[09:53] <SeveredCross> No!
[09:53] <kdub432> but benn92647, know what you're doing when you're root ;-D
[09:53] <SeveredCross> No sudo su
[09:53] <SeveredCross> That's not a good idea for some reason that I can't remember why.
[09:53] <SeveredCross> Use sudo -s or sudo -i
[09:53] <SeveredCross> But not sudo su.
[09:54] <gnuskool> InFernAI,  yeah i saw it, use pastebin.com to post though or it'll flood the channel, its not a problem with your partitions, look in your logs, nano /var/log/messages
[09:54] <kdub432> SeveredCross:
[09:54] <SeveredCross> I think it causes problems with permissions or  like that, but I'm not sure.
[09:54] <Mathman> chris32154_Dinze: your roommate screwing with you?
[09:54] <kdub432> i've never heard that, but i beleive you : )
[09:54] <benn92647> !kdub i need the gksudo whatever so i can open up my file system as root
[09:54] <SeveredCross> Someone here told me that once.
[09:54] <SeveredCross> benn92647: You want gksu nautilus
[09:55] <genefitz> chris32154_Dinze: Let me get this right, you install, it works fine, then your password deletes itself?
[09:55] <benn92647> !severedcross thats it!
[09:55] <Marcham> hello
[09:55] <Marcham> I know this is a really open question, but does anyone know of some major diferences between ubuntu and opensuse?
[09:55] <bruenig> benn92647, don't prefix your responses with !
[09:55] <xike> hey all, emerald doesn't start when I login (I've added emerald --replace to my session)  if I run the command from the shell after logging in, it works fine.  any ideas on getting it started at login?
[09:55] <benn92647> i was told to do that
[09:55] <chris32154_Dinze> i logon it makes the music but the bars (applacation and so on) stay blank
[09:55] <kdub432> Marcham: debian package management system vs. emerge
[09:55] <genefitz> Marcham, Ubuntu is devian based, Opensuse is redhat based.
[09:55] <benn92647> or maybe it was tab! i cant remeber
[09:56] <Marcham> Would you say that it is more stable?
[09:56] <Mathman> Marcham: package management and the custom gui configuration stuff suse comes with.  that and suse seems dog slow as of late.  but maybe that last one is just me.
[09:56] <chris32154_Dinze> and the background picture dissapeers
[09:56] <genefitz> chris32154_Dinze, have you installed any programs since install?
[09:56] <Mathman> genefitz: suse isn't redhat based.  not at all.
[09:56] <genefitz> Marcham, it depends on what you like..
[09:56] <Marcham> what do you mean by like?
[09:57] <genefitz> Mathman, my bad, I was thinking Fedora.. Sorry..
[09:57] <SeveredCross> Suse is a bit slow, not any more stable than Ubuntu.
[09:57] <genefitz> <~~ gets distros mixed up at times
[09:57] <|doorsman> i'm usin' audacious but when i'm playin' a CD there some kind of echoe... some way to get rid of that echoe?
[09:57] <chris32154_Dinze> each time i install diffrent things but for the most part not much
[09:57] <bruenig> suse is no more slow than ubuntu nor any less stable
[09:57] <Max0> hi is there a gui to overclock my cpu? as used to have one with windows
[09:57] <scorp123> bruenig: SUSE's package manager is slow though when compared to 'apt' :-)
[09:57] <genefitz> chris32154_Dinze: have you installed video drivers or graphical effects?
[09:57] <chris32154_Dinze> nope
[09:58] <Mathman> bruenig: lies.  ha.  and while I surely can't quantify it, I do know the latest opensuse was a dog on my end.  10.1 or whatever it is.  but then I'm a kde guy too.
[09:58] <Marcham> ah i c
[09:58] <Marcham> thank you
[09:58] <genefitz> chris32154_Dinze, and this has happened more than once?
[09:58] <bruenig> scorp123, oh if you mean package management, i thought you meant in general, not app specific
[09:58] <chris32154_Dinze> 2 times
[09:58] <SeveredCross> Suse is slow as shit on package management, agreed.
[09:58] <scorp123> Mathman: OpenSUSE 10.1 was buggy like hell and yes it was slow. 10.2 was a lot better. Really. A lot.
[09:58] <bruenig> pacman is faster than apt though so
[09:58] <benn92647> Please, someone Please help me, this is eay 5 of messing with the damn flashplayer in firefox and it still doesnt work..i have done every conceivable thing..so if you know a way tell me
[09:58] <Marcham> How do you pick which distro to use though if they are so alike?
[09:59] <bruenig> benn92647, 64 bit?
[09:59] <scorp123> bruenig: the others were meaning in general yes. But I used SUSE 10.2 until very recently so I know that it wasn't that bad as some make it.
[09:59] <benn92647> -bruenig, no i was told to go to 32 bit so i did
[09:59] <genefitz> chris32154_Dinze, what video card are you using?
[09:59] <bruenig> benn92647, ok, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree is no good?
[09:59] <Mathman> Marcham: me, I try them all and go with the ones I like.  ha, which means I'm pretty much constantly switching distros as they all keep getting better.
[09:59] <kdub432> i don't really see a reason to have 64 bit just yet
[10:00] <chris32154_Dinze> the builtin intel videocard
[10:00] <bruenig> kdub432, the floating point math is amazing though :D
[10:00] <benn92647> -buenig no it installs it but it wont play sound-firefox wont play sound from any site with flashplayer 9
[10:00] <Mathman> Marcham: well, not all of them, but I've tried a heck of a lot to be sure.  my favorites I'd say are mandriva and fedora.  centos on the server side.
[10:00] <|doorsman> i'm usin' audacious but when i'm playin' a CD there some kind of echoe... some way to get rid of that echoe?
[10:00] <kdub432> bruenig: yeah, but you have to do so much compiling....
[10:00] <Shinkai> DCC CHAT C:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
[10:00] <genefitz> Marcham: I agree with Mathman, I went through about 20 distros before I settled on the one I liked the most..
[10:00] <Marcham> I have gone through 8 distros and in the end dont know which to pick
[10:01] <kdub432> chris32154_Dinze: do you have a X3100?
[10:01] <Marcham> Ubuntu seems more popular
[10:01] <chris32154_Dinze> i have an HP Pavilion xt963
[10:01] <benn92647> -bruenig can you tell me whatelse i can do to get flashplayer to work
[10:02] <Mathman> Marcham: only you can decide what you like man.  no way for us to decide for you.
[10:02] <kdub432> well, find out what the chipset is, and i might be able to help you :-)
[10:02] <genefitz> chris32154_Dinze, I am searching bug reports and wikis now..
[10:02] <chris32154_Dinze> thanks
[10:02] <XLV> Marcham, for starting, always stick with something with easy gui tools, lots of user support, and lots of software precompiled. ubuntu fits all those bills
[10:02] <Marcham> so does suse
[10:03] <Marcham> I remember last time using ubuntu i had to go through this problem becuase x server wouldnt start
[10:03] <chris32154_Dinze> benn try going to youtube or any site with flash builtin and a little poppup should apper asking you if you wanna install the missing plugin click the button and hit "i agree{" whaen promped then it should wrk
[10:04] <XLV> Marcham, well, i havent used a rpm based distro for a while, but i have found no problems wirh dependancies with apt as i had with rpm... ofcourse, rpm might have evolved, but in any case, dont use suse, if you go with rpm package manager, use fedora
[10:04] <bruenig> chris32154_Dinze, since when does that work?
[10:05] <Marcham> what is more popular rpm's or debian pac's?
[10:05] <benn92647> can someone who has had the flash player problem in fiesty tell me how they got it to work
[10:05] <jthomas_work> If I have AMD64 x2, should I download a standard version of ubuntu or 64-bit ?
[10:05] <bruenig> Marcham, rpms
[10:05] <genefitz> chris32154_Dinze, what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[10:05] <chris32154_Dinze> it always works in firefox no matter what OS im using
[10:05] <chris32154_Dinze> fisty but i had the same problem in dapper
[10:05] <SeveredCross> jthomas_work: Unless you absolutely need x86_64 I'd go with standard x86.
[10:05] <Marcham> so rpm's dont work in ubuntu at all then?
[10:05] <SeveredCross> x86_64 has Firefox and Java issues and some other things.
[10:06] <genefitz> jthomas_work, you can load both x86 and/or x84-64 on your computer. your choice
[10:06] <SeveredCross> Marcham: They can be made to work, but it's not perfect.
[10:06] <Marcham> so suse is more compatible
[10:06] <XLV> SeveredCross, what firefox issues?
[10:06] <jthomas_work> SeveredCross: yes I still hear the same thing, If you dont have any special needs go to normal... so my question is why we have 64-bit version :D
[10:06] <SeveredCross> I think issues with plugins not working is about it.
[10:06] <bruenig> Marcham, you can generally find rpms and debs of whatever you want, but on the times where you can't find both, you will more often find an rpm than a deb
[10:06] <SeveredCross> Flash is one that definitely takes a lot of work to get under 64.
[10:07] <kha1i1> SeveredCross: liar
[10:07] <Marcham> what is fedora rpm or debian?
[10:07] <scorp123> Marcham: compatible with what??
[10:07] <bruenig> Marcham, rpm
[10:07] <SeveredCross> Fedora uses rpm's.
[10:07] <kha1i1> flash, ff, and _64 have no issues together
[10:07] <SeveredCross> kha1i1: What?
[10:07] <SeveredCross> Are you absolutely positive?
[10:07] <kha1i1> for my system, yes
[10:07] <XLV> SeveredCross, for plugins in x86-64, use nspluginwrapper
[10:07] <SeveredCross> How come we get all kinds of complaints in here about Flash and x86_64.
[10:07] <scorp123> Marcham: Try this ..... http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/
[10:07] <genefitz> Marcham, Fedora is RPM based, It is what I use
[10:07] <SeveredCross> Yeah, but as far as I've heard nspluginwrapper is hardly perfect.
[10:07] <Marcham> i did use that
[10:08] <budgester> Yup using flash on amd64 here, all fine
[10:08] <benn92647> ok one more time how do i log on as root?
[10:08] <kha1i1> because you're dealing with rookies? or ppl are to lazy to search and find the fix for their specific issue
[10:08] <budgester> benn92647, "sudo su"
[10:08] <kha1i1> so they get lumped into ff and flash ,
[10:08] <Marcham> i heard that Fedora's priorities tend to lean towards enterprise features, rather than desktop usability. is that true?
[10:08] <benn92647> no the othe one
[10:08] <benn92647> i need the gkso natulis one
[10:08] <scorp123> Marcham: I doubt that this is the right channel to discuss other distros
[10:08] <kha1i1> Marcham: ubuntu is more home user friendly
[10:08] <genefitz> Marcham, not really, Fedora is kind of the user version or redhat, if that makes sense..
[10:08] <benn92647> well actually
[10:09] <benn92647> su sudfo will do
[10:09] <Marcham> okay thanks guys
[10:10] <benn92647> but for my reference file what is the one to opne up you stuff as root----its gksu natilus or something
[10:10] <bruenig> fedora is derived from red hat the same way ubuntu is derived from debian
[10:10] <jellymaster> can anyone please help me I tried to partition my harddrive using Gparted,and the installer but neither will work what should I do
[10:10] <SeveredCross> benn92647: For a root terminal, use sudo -i or sudo -s.
[10:10] <genefitz> bruenig, yes.
[10:10] <SeveredCross> For root file browser, use gksu nautilus
[10:10] <SeveredCross> End of stor.
[10:10] <bruenig> is gksudo still a symlink to gksu or not?
[10:10] <kdub432> kha1i1: i wish people would search more for the simple things.....
[10:10] <benn92647> yes but there is another one that is ...! thats it severed
[10:11] <SeveredCross> bruenig: Yeah, I thinkso.
[10:11] <genefitz> jellymaster, are you getting any error messages?
[10:11] <bruenig> SeveredCross, are you on your installation now? check it out
[10:11] <rockets> Anybody know a good tool to rip an entier webiste?
[10:11] <rockets> website*
[10:11] <furenku> i have problems with my cd-rom ... i added "piix" to modules.conf, and it worked that first time; however , now i can't open any CD, but it does get mounted as an icon shows up on the desktop... is there a fix? im using a dell inspiron 1520
[10:11] <SeveredCross> Yeah, I just did, it is.
[10:11] <bruenig> rockets, wget
[10:11] <kha1i1> kdub432: i hear u man. i work chat tech support as my job and the simple google-solved issues i see every day lower my faith in ppl as a whole
[10:11] <jellymaster> Genefitz it just says that it can't do it for some reason I'll bring up one and find the exact error message hold on
[10:12] <kha1i1> like "how do i create a windows user" for eg.
[10:12] <rockets> bruenig, That will rip the links as well?
[10:12] <kdub432> kha1i1: haha
[10:12] <caesar_> help! I'm completely lost with trying to install compiz fusion.
[10:12] <bruenig> rockets, you have to do some advanced gentoo stuff
[10:12] <bruenig> wget*
[10:12] <bruenig> rockets, wget --spider or something like that, man wget to figure out
[10:12] <rly> why have the ubuntu team took off the plugins wizard from azureus?
[10:13] <ion> rly, use an older version
[10:13] <rockets> nah spider just checks that pages exist
[10:13] <ion> or compile from src
[10:13] <kdub432> caesar_, go ask on #opencompositing
[10:13] <ehc> I am installing ubuntu and trying to create a logical 300gb /scratch partition, I get this weird error of: "Can't have the end before the start" anyone know why I am getting this error?
[10:13] <rly> which one?
[10:13] <ktw> webhttrack works better than wget spider :P
[10:13] <rly> ion: which one?
[10:13] <ion> google it
[10:13] <jellymaster> Genefitz: I brought up the installer and it says: an error occured while writing the changes to the Storage devices. The resize operation is aborted
[10:13] <bruenig> rockets, there is a way to do it, I have done it before wget -R perhaps
[10:13] <ion> im not sure
[10:14] <ion> i dont use azureus
[10:14] <bruenig> rly, I don't know officially but I know that the plugins install in a root owned location and therefore would lead to permission errors
[10:14] <rockets> hmm ok thanks ill figure it out
[10:14] <genefitz> Jelly, are you doing dual boot, or using Ubuntu as the only OS?
[10:14] <nelsonaxe> Any good documentation out there on setting up an Ubuntu web server (Feisty)?
[10:15] <rly> ok bruenio
[10:15] <bastid_raZor> compiz-fusion is there a pgp key for that somewhere?
[10:15] <praet> How do I ignore an update?
[10:15] <bruenig> rly, don't know why you want to use azureus but if you did, it would probably be best to install it manually in /opt and give some more friendly permissions to the directory
[10:15] <bastid_raZor> compiz-core seems to be acting retarded since it claims to be 'unauthorized'
[10:15] <jellymaster> Genefitz: trying to dual boot with XP but if i can't get it to work i'm probably gonna just end up making ubuntu the only OS
[10:15] <rockets> bruenig, its --follow-tags but it keeps telling me that im missing an option
[10:16] <IndyGunFreak> anyone have experience with Roadnav and TOMTOM?
[10:16] <ehc> has there been anything done about this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/107787
[10:16] <ac-town> Hey
[10:16] <genefitz> Jellymaster, many times, people have issues if the hdd is already formatted for windows, you can change this in windows by right clicking "my computer" clicking "manage" then in the management window, "disk manager"
[10:16] <ac-town> Do i need to install opengl?
[10:17] <rockets> bruenig, its wget -r
[10:17] <bruenig> rockets, I was close
[10:17] <rockets> :-D
[10:17] <rockets> thanks
[10:17] <genefitz> You can shrink your windows partition and use the "guided using free space" option in the Ubuntu installer
[10:17] <jellymaster> ok i'll go try that now thank you genefitz
[10:17] <NMajik> Does cron allow commands to be run on start up?
[10:17] <rly> bruenig: which p2p do you advise me, then?
[10:17] <praet> bastid_raZor: are you using Amarenth's repo?
[10:18] <bastid_raZor> ppa.dogfood repo.. very possible it is the Amarenths
[10:18] <bruenig> rly, well what do you need really, if you are looking for rss, I would just go with deluge as it has rss just like azureus does and is lighter and not as ridiculous and ignorant of *nix OSes as azureus
[10:18] <benn92647> UGGH!
[10:18] <benn92647> my gosh! what the hell is wrong with flashplayer
[10:18] <nick108> Hi there, I've remotely installed a minimal image of Ubuntu and would like to install a windows manager with apt-get
[10:18] <bastid_raZor> praet, and yes.. it is the Amarenth's repo
[10:19] <nick108> can someone please point me into the right direction?
[10:19] <xike> hey, what IRC clients do you guys like on ubuntu?
[10:19] <vocx> !init | NMajik maybe you could use a start up script that called cron
[10:19] <benn92647> can some please tell me how to get firefox and flashplayer  to play sound
[10:19] <ubotu> NMajik maybe you could use a start up script that called cron: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[10:19] <bastid_raZor> xike, xchat
[10:19] <caesar_> !paste
[10:19] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:19] <xike> bastid_raZor: thanks, I'll try it out
[10:19] <praet> bastid_raZor: are you getting the same version requested as an update ? over and over?
[10:19] <NMajik> vocx: OK, thanks!
[10:19] <bruenig> benn92647, do ls /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and paste the output into pastebin
[10:19] <bruenig> !paste | benn92647
[10:19] <ubotu> benn92647: please see above
[10:19] <nick108> anyone here using Ubuntu as a webserver, remotely?
[10:19] <praet> bastid_raZor: that is what is happening to me
[10:20] <bastid_raZor> praet, yes, it notifies me that they can not be authenticated and it appears to install but never really does
[10:20] <rly> bruenig: there's no such application on synaptic
[10:20] <NMajik> nick108: yes, why?
[10:20] <bastid_raZor> praet, if i find a fix.. i'll be sure to pass it along
[10:20] <bruenig> rly, yeah I know, have to get it yourself, it is odd really that ubuntu doesn't have a package for it considering that it is an ubuntu project to some extent, I mean it has an ubuntu subforum and all that good stuff
[10:21] <furenku> i have problems with my cd-rom ... i added "piix" to modules.conf, and it worked that first time; however , now i can't open any CD, but it does get mounted as an icon shows up on the desktop... is there a fix? im using a dell inspiron 1520
[10:21] <rockets> bruenig, so assuming the website is designed with relative paths it should work
[10:21] <rly> ok, thank you, bruenig
[10:21] <TTRanger> Does anyone know of a place where you can see a list of the OSS-supported audio cards that are still being manufactured?
[10:21] <ivanowitch> Hi. I'm having some trouble with the ttf-opensymbol package... It won't install properly because it appearantly can't "write cache"... anyone have a clue?
[10:21] <ehc> does ubuntu support partitions larger than 200gb?
[10:22] <benn92647> bruenig-http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34101/
[10:22] <bastid_raZor> ehc yes
[10:22] <nick108> NMajik: I'm trying to install a windows manager remotely and then login via VNC client
[10:22] <ehc> bastid_raZor, how can I create one?
[10:22] <nick108> NMajik: how do I install a windows manager on a minimal ubuntu system
[10:22] <bastid_raZor> ehc gtparted or qtpart
[10:22] <praet> bastid_raZor: how are you running compiz by the way. Are you running in a session or a xsession script?
[10:22] <jellymaster> ok i'm in the Disk management window and it's showing me information about the partition what should I do now?
[10:23] <nick108> NMajik: via remote, i.e. via Putty (apt-get?)
[10:23] <benn92647> -Bruenig-------did you get it?
[10:23] <NMajik> nick108: Are you sure you want a window manager on a server?
[10:23] <bruenig> !find /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflash-mozplugin.so
[10:23] <ibanex> can anyone suggest an alternative to xcompmgr?
[10:23] <genefitz> jelly, right click on your primary partition
[10:23] <ubotu> Package/file /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflash-mozplugin.so does not exist in feisty
[10:23] <bruenig> !find libflash-mozplugin.so
[10:23] <ubotu> File libflash-mozplugin.so found in libflash-mozplugin
[10:23] <nick108> NMajik: yes, I need to run a Java application that creates statistics
[10:23] <bastid_raZor> praet, currently in a session, i attempted to 'enable 3d desktop' (which is how it tells you to enable auto load of compiz) and i get no toolbars on windows
[10:23] <benn92647> oh
[10:23] <genefitz> TTRanger, try http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main
[10:23] <bruenig> benn92647, sudo apt-get remove libflash-mozplugin
[10:23] <NMajik> nick108:Oh, ok then
[10:24] <benn92647> ---buenig ubotu says it dont exist?
[10:24] <bruenig> benn92647, restart firefox
[10:24] <TTRanger> genefitz Thanks...checking it!
[10:24] <Arcangel_Proxy> Hi guys
[10:24] <Arcangel_Proxy> What's Up?
[10:24] <NMajik> nick108: Is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186298&page=2 helpful?
[10:24] <furenku> i have problems with my cd-rom ... i added "piix" to modules.conf, and it worked that first time; however , now i can't open any CD, but it does get mounted as an icon shows up on the desktop... is there a fix? im using a dell inspiron 1520
[10:24] <Arcangel_Proxy> I'm really Drk_Guy
[10:24] <ehc> bastid_raZor, so if don't create it during the install and just use one of those programs latter to create it that will work fine? Will it be mounted automatically?
[10:24] <psst> how do I format a drive I have just connected via USB?
[10:25] <jellymaster> genefitz: ok I right clicked on it it says:Open,explore,mark partition as active(grey),change drive letters and paths,format(grey),delete partition(grey),properties,help
[10:25] <TTRanger> genefitz Is ALSA the same thing as OSS?
[10:25] <nick108> NMajik: that's perfect!
[10:25] <benn92647> ----bruenig done-
[10:25] <NMajik> nick108: and then from there remote desktop allows you to control it with VNC
[10:25] <genefitz> TTRanger, most Distros use ALSA drivers.
[10:25] <TTRanger> ok thanks
[10:25] <OsBoNe> good evening
[10:25] <bastid_raZor> ehc, you'll have to manually mount it. automount works in the install
[10:25] <genii> psst: good to know: what filesystem and what device it was seen at
[10:25] <bruenig> benn92647, ok so see if the problem is gone
[10:25] <genefitz> jellymaster there isn't a "shrink" option?
[10:26] <jellymaster> no
[10:26] <ivanowitch> does anyone know what's wrong here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34103/ ?
[10:26] <benn92647> ----bruening nope :(
[10:26] <ehc> bastid_raZor, would it be easier to create a small partition and enlarge it with qtparted?
[10:26] <Drk_Guy> now it's better
[10:26] <genefitz> okay jellymaster, let me find you another option
[10:26] <Drk_Guy> I have a prob with apt-get
[10:26] <psst> genii: any idea how I can tell?  it has no fs atm
[10:26] <benn92647> ---bruenig should i go with another browser?
[10:26] <jellymaster> genefitz:thanks for so much help
[10:26] <bastid_raZor> ehc,  my opinion it would best to do your partitions during install
[10:26] <bruenig> benn92647, no, what shows up under flash when you go to about:plugins in firefox
[10:26] <nick108> NMajik: have you done something similar yourself already?
[10:27] <Drk_Guy> Ntfs-config isn't found, and i need it
[10:27] <Penguinsaremyfri> anybody use fceultra?
[10:27] <bastid_raZor> Drk_Guy, ntfs-3g ..
[10:27] <NMajik> nick108:Yes, but just on a whim. I don't actually need a webserver
[10:27] <Drk_Guy> Thx
[10:27] <genii> psst: report result of command: sudo fdisk -l
[10:27] <nick108> NMajik: I mean on a remote machine?
[10:27] <Penguinsaremyfri> !fceultra

[10:29] <pheorehs> hi
[10:29] <pheorehs> say I have a puter with 2 network cards.  I want it to have 1 ipaddress, but use 1 network card for only for Incoming traffic, and the other for Outgoing traffic.  I know this is possible,  just forgot what it's called... any ideas ?
[10:29] <sayanriju> ivanowitch:  what were u trying to do?
[10:29] <Drk_Guy> !ubotu
[10:29] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[10:29] <buize> can
[10:29] <bastid_raZor> ehc, why not make it the correct size before hand? you're killing yourself with unneeded labor by enlarging later
[10:29] <nick108> NMajik: after having installed the windows manager how do I proceed? Simply connecting with a VNC client?
[10:29] <ivanowitch> I'm trying to install ttf-opensymbol...
[10:29] <nick108> NMajik: locally this didn't work
[10:29] <GIn> how can I set ubuntu to launch vlc instead of the defaul movie player when I insert a dvd into my dvd drive?
[10:30] <zerwas> what could i do if my soundcard isn't found by cat /proc/asound/cards ?
[10:30] <sayanriju> ivanowitch: u using 'font-cache'??
[10:30] <CoasterMaster> I'm having trouble partitioning my drive for Ubuntu Install
[10:30] <ehc> bastid_raZor, because I get an error when I try to create a partition that is larger than 200gb
[10:30] <nick108> NMajik: I always had to login locally first and configure it
[10:30] <sayanriju> i mean, 'fc-cache'
[10:30] <nick108> NMajik: then I could also login via VNC client
[10:30] <Drk_Guy> Guys
[10:30] <genefitz> jellymaster, try the instructions on this page http://apcmag.com/6101/dualboot_windows_xp_and_ubuntu it may have the solutiuon
[10:30] <Drk_Guy> Apt-get is wierd
[10:30] <benn92647> ------bruenig http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34105/
[10:30] <ivanowitch> I'm just executing "apt-get install ttf-opensymbol", and that is the result... :S
[10:30] <NMajik> nick108: Oh, I'm very sorry, I guess I misunderstood
[10:30] <bastid_raZor> ehc, how big is the drive you're using and what are the current partition sizes?
[10:31] <NMajik> nick108: I don't know how to do that remotely
[10:31] <bruenig> benn92647, do file /usr/lib/firefox/libflashplayer.os
[10:31] <benn92647> ---you mean .so right
[10:31] <CoasterMaster> I have a hard drive with 4 partitions on it.  How can I remove the first one (the one Vista is on) with the Installer, and set up my ext3 and swap space in it?  If I remove the first partition in the installer and then make the / partition (minus 2 GB for swap), I can't make the swap space, it says the space is unsable
[10:31] <Drk_Guy> sorry guys
[10:31] <bruenig> benn92647, yeah, paste the output, shouldn't need pastebin
[10:31] <nick108> NMajik: thanks anyway for the usefull link to the forums!
[10:31] <ehc> bastid_raZor, it is a 400gb drive, completely empty, I don't want to partition it all into one drive though, I want to have a large /scratch partition for music and videos and other junk
[10:31] <Drk_Guy> I had multiverse disabled

[10:36] <bruenig> benn92647, everything looks good, you might try doing mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozillabackup and then restarting firefox
[10:36] <bastid_raZor> xIke, i'm currently having issues with compiz-fusion.. how did you install it? by adding deb http://ppa.dogfood.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu feisty main restricted universe multiverse
[10:36] <bastid_raZor>  to your sources.list?
[10:36] <psst> genil: that only lists /dev/sda1, sda2 and sda5
[10:36] <bastid_raZor> xIke, and that page i posted is how i installed it.
[10:37] <xIke> bastid_raZor: no, the *right* way to do it right now is using amaranth's repos
[10:37] <benn92647> -----bruenig how do i make it work?
[10:37] <xIke> bastid_raZor: that will keep you inline with the gutsy install
[10:37] <fulio> hi
[10:37] <NMajik> Does anyone have a preferred media (specifically music) player? I'm underwhelmed by Rhythmbox
[10:37] <xIke> bastid_raZor: any other way will be broken when you upgrade to gutsy
[10:37] <bruenig> benn92647, did that command, restart firefox and see if that does it?
[10:37] <CoasterMaster> Is there any way I can have 5 partitions on a hard drive?
[10:37] <benn92647> ---bruenig i did it in terminal and it didnt do anything
[10:37] <genii> psst: When you powered on the external, did you get a popup window?
[10:37] <bruenig> benn92647, right, now restart firefox
[10:37] <sayanriju> NMajik: try amarok........truly rokzz!!
[10:37] <fulio> How can i install debian on ubuntu?? it says i have it but i dont see it under applications
[10:38] <benn92647> ----bruenig LOL ok so it reset all the defaults
[10:38] <pheorehs> say I have a puter with 2 network cards.  I want it to have 1 ipaddress, but use 1 network card for only for Incoming traffic, and the other for Outgoing traffic.   any ideas ?
[10:38] <psst> genil: no
[10:38] <bastid_raZor> xIke, oh.. so you're using gutsy and not feisty??
[10:38] <WindsofTime> How do I resize the main partition of Linux  so that I can reinstall Windows? (I already know how to fix my GRUB once it installs..so Please dont tell me that I need to know how to successfully resize the partition!)
[10:38] <xIke> bastid_raZor: no, I'm using feisty
[10:38] <psst> genil: it's not formatted yet, so there's no fs to mount
[10:38] <bruenig> benn92647, right but they are backed up, just to see if maybe you have some bad configuration
[10:38] <benn92647> -----bruenig now what do i do
[10:38] <xIke> bastid_raZor: looks like you followed the right example.
[10:38] <vocx> fulio, debian is not a program, it is a complete Linux distribution like ubuntu.
[10:38] <bruenig> benn92647, go to youtube and see
[10:38] <fulio> vocx, ohh.
[10:38] <bastid_raZor> xIke, i get compiz-core is an unauthenticated package. did/have you gotten that error?
[10:39] <xIke> bastid_raZor: amaranth's repos are simply the gutsy compiz, made backwards compatible with feisty
[10:39] <vocx> !debian > fulio
[10:39] <psst> genil: any way to track what device it is?
[10:39] <sayanriju> fulio: are u by any chance trying to install 'debian menu' via automatix, etc?
[10:39] <xIke> bastid_raZor: yeah, can you not tell it to go ahead anyway
[10:39] <DrHalan> hey, i just uninstalled fglrx drivers to install new ones and now ive flickering windos etc :S
[10:39] <genii> psst: Please spell my nick genii so that when i can tell immediately you are speaing to me :) thx
[10:39] <fulio> sayanriju, yes
[10:39] <NMajik> sayanriju: I gave that a quick shot, it didn't over too well though. I'm going to have a seperate box set up as a media player, so I can use kubuntu, hopefully with better results. Thanks for the recommendation
[10:39] <WindsofTime> !partition resize
[10:39] <bastid_raZor> xIke, yes i did. but it keeps asking to upgrade compiz-core after i apt-get it. no matter how many times i install it
[10:39] <praet> xIke: what he an I are both seeing is that after upgrading, the same version comes up for upgrading again

[10:41] <bruenig> benn92647, what version of ubuntu?
[10:41] <bastid_raZor> xIke, cool atleast now i can quit trying to fix it.
[10:41] <genefitz> defrag even
[10:41] <psst> genii: same three
[10:41] <WindsofTime> vocx, Being no1 has answered my question I only hoped that the bot would find an answer..so please dont hit me with Abuse when I only seek help =\
[10:41] <sayanriju> NMajik: read the web page 4 details...I just thnk it has all the features i want, except that its a bit heavy! :)
[10:41] <xIke> bastid_raZor: lol, yeah- you won't get anywhere.  I've tried
[10:41] <jellymaster> Genefitz: I haven't on this computer it was never used until about a week ago
[10:41] <praet> bastid_raZor: xIke: well , at least we're all in this together
[10:41] <bastid_raZor> praet, xike.. yeah..
[10:41] <WindsofTime> if you notice, I called on the forums as a last resort..being I dont know the link =\
[10:41] <NMajik> sayanriju: I did read up on it a bit. I wasn't sure what features stood out to an actual user though
[10:42] <vocx> WindsofTime, there is no problem. The fact is that you can ask ubotu in private.
[10:42] <xIke> praet: hehe, yeah.  I thought I had everything working and emerald won't start consistently on login...back to debugging :(
[10:42] <jellymaster> genefitz:I'll do one now
[10:42] <fulio> I have a Hp pavilion 6000. Can somone help me fix my wireless card on my laptop. ubuntu doesnt see it. i have to connect to the internet using a wired connection.
[10:42] <genefitz> jellymaster, go into windows, run disk check, then defrag. Then start over. It may fix the issue
[10:42] <robert298> Hi, I'm having problems using gparted.  Is there anyway to move a primary partition into a logical one without losing data?
[10:42] <WindsofTime> vocx, awesome thanks for letting me know ^^
[10:42] <Kumiriko> how would i go about doing that serverd cross.  new to all this and vary green behind the gills
[10:42] <Kumiriko> *severed
[10:42] <sayanriju> NMajik: plugin support (esp. lyrics and wikipedia), great UI, album and playlist management, etc
[10:42] <genii> psst: unplug external, then replug. then in console do:  dmesg and see if it reports a new drive number
[10:42] <praet> xIke: how are you starting compiz?
[10:42] <vocx> WindsofTime, also, your question seemed confusing, you said you wanted to resize, but then said we should not tell you to resize?
[10:43] <jellymaster> genefitz: it's in the defragmenting process now thanks for all the help i'll be back gotta bring my friend home
[10:43] <bastid_raZor> praet, i'm looking at disabling it ..
[10:43] <xtknight> does anyone else have a broken Logout button (perhaps after some updates)?  i reboot and out of nowhere it doesnt work anymore
[10:43] <genii> psst:    tail dmesg    will do too
[10:43] <xIke> praet: I added it to sessions: compiz --replace.  I edited the compiz prefs to tell it to use emerald
[10:43] <sayanriju> NMajik: Listen looks promising too....u can try it in gnome
[10:43] <psst> genii: ooh!  Lots of errors
[10:43] <NMajik> sayanriju: Ah, thank you
[10:43] <genefitz> jellymaster: Good luck :-)

[10:44] <WindsofTime> How do I resize the main partition of Linux  so that I can reinstall Windows? (I already know how to fix my GRUB once it installs..so Please dont tell me about losing my Linux (Ubuntu) GRUB this I know... I just want to know how to successfully resize the partition!)
[10:44] <xtknight> i figured it out.  i had to have at least one window open before logout would want to show up (compiz fusion alpha problem likely)
[10:44] <xIke> I got suckered into that stupid "hey, there's a new compiz update"
[10:44] <vocx> xtknight, buttons are for the weak. Real men use "sudo halt".
[10:44] <WindsofTime> vocx, sorry about that... I corrected it
[10:44] <thedash> what is the difference between UTF-8 and UTF-16 ?
[10:44] <NMajik> fulio: Does ubuntu see the built in wireless card at all; is it just not connecting to your network?
[10:44] <xIke> which hosed my /usr/bin/compiz prefs to use emerald
[10:44] <xIke> w00t!  thanks guys :P
[10:44] <xtknight> vocx, real men want their software to work consistently ;)
[10:44] <fulio> NMajik, im not sure. i dont think it sees it
[10:45] <NMajik> In terminal type iwconfig
[10:45] <benn92647> -----bruenig no it still wont work
[10:45] <nickrud> NMajik, there's also muine and beep-media-player, banshee, the mpd/mpc/gmpc combo ;
[10:45] <bastid_raZor> xike heh.. i actually like fusion better

[10:45] <touchen> I love this os :)
[10:45] <bruenig> benn92647, what version of ubuntu?
[10:45] <genii> psst: At very bottom of the dmesg stuff does it say about the usb drive being found etc
[10:45] <GIn> is Fusion stable?

[10:49] <benn92647> /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu: ERROR: cannot open `/usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu' (No such file or directory)
[10:49] <fulio> NMajik, do i choose ubuntu 7.04 feisty
[10:49] <vocx> WindsofTime, I can only suggest you to boot the Live CD and try to resize with the utilities included. If you cannot through the Ubuntu CD I suggest you use Knoppix or other live CD. The important point , is the partition should not be mounted.
[10:49] <benn92647> ---bruenig sorry
[10:49] <NMajik> fulio: If that's what you have installed
[10:49] <redheat> hi everyone
[10:49] <redheat> sorry for bothering you all
[10:49] <bruenig> benn92647, ok, that is right. I don't know, do file /usr/bin/firefox
[10:49] <redheat> just gotta a qestion
[10:49] <fulio> NMajik, k, yes i do see the wireless connection
[10:49] <xIke> redheat: np, what's up?
[10:50] <redheat> fine, thanks.
[10:50] <WindsofTime> vocx, being the partition is the whole HardDrive I dont know if I can unmount it
[10:50] <NMajik> fulio: Click properties
[10:50] <redheat> I have everything running peachy on my system
[10:50] <fulio> NMajik, ok
[10:50] <NMajik> fulio: BTW, is your network encrypted?
[10:50] <redheat> I'm running fiesty fawn as part of my three OS system,
[10:50] <xIke> redheat: ...
[10:50] <benn92647> ---bruenig it opened fire fox :)
[10:50] <fulio> NMajik, meaing ?
[10:50] <bastid_raZor> xIke, praet , echo "compiz-core hold" | dpkg --set-selections
[10:50] <bastid_raZor>  (i did this as root)
[10:50] <bruenig> benn92647, it shouldn't have, did you do "file /usr/bin/firefox"
[10:50] <getoo> will ubuntu install on a macosx box
[10:50] <vocx> WindsofTime, yes, it is possible. The Live CD does not use the hard drive at all. It loads all its data to RAM memory. Awesome don't you think?
[10:50] <bruenig> bastid_raZor, why would you pipe that?
[10:51] <getoo> its intel not ppc
[10:51] <bruenig> getoo, yes
[10:51] <NMajik> fulio: Your wireless network, is it encrypted with WEP, WPA, etc?
[10:51] <redheat> my processor is a core duo 2 pentium 6600., and I have four gigabytes of RAM 667, and also I've installed the magnificent Beryl, and it does spin :)
[10:51] <redheat> but here's the problem
[10:51] <fulio> NMajik, yes WEP
[10:51] <getoo> bruenig: so should i just donwload the iso
[10:51] <NMajik> Fulio: ok
[10:51] <WindsofTime> vocx, indeed it is
[10:51] <bruenig> getoo, if you want to install it
[10:51] <getoo> go proceed with the install
[10:51] <redheat> the system suddenly freezes
[10:51] <bastid_raZor> bruenig, why not?
[10:51] <getoo> bruenig: i do
[10:51] <NMajik> Fulio: on the list of essids, do you see yours?
[10:51] <bruenig> getoo, then yeah
[10:51] <getoo> bruenig: cool
[10:51] <benn92647> ---bruenig /usr/bin/firefox: symbolic link to `../lib/firefox/firefox'
[10:51] <ac-town> Do i need to install libgl?
[10:51] <bastid_raZor> bruenig, the furry bunny that lives under my chair told me
[10:51] <xIke> bastid_raZor: I tried that and it complained about read/write access to dpkg status area
[10:51] <getoo> cause macosx makes me tired
[10:52] <getoo> :D
[10:52] <redheat> out of nowhere it just freezes, and if I tried to move the mouse it crawls..and I could not open anything at all
[10:52] <fulio> NMajik, no. i have to type something in there.
[10:52] <getoo> linux rocks
[10:52] <bruenig> benn92647, everything looks right
[10:52] <redheat> Xike, are you still with me?
[10:52] <ac-town> or does ubuntu come with libgl
[10:52] <shad0w> hey there.
[10:52] <NMajik> fulio: enable roaming, then click ok
[10:52] <benn92647> -----bruenig so why do firefox hate me?
[10:52] <shad0w> can i have text interface on ubuntu?
[10:52] <NMajik> fulio: allow it to finish doing it's thing
[10:52] <bastid_raZor> xike run as root.. or do sudo in front of dpkg
[10:52] <redheat> xIke, my friend are you still with me?
[10:52] <bruenig> bastid_raZor, well I mean you can do: echo firefox | sudo apt-get install, but it looks goofy
[10:52] <xIke> redheat: does it freeze randomly, or does something seem to trigger it?
[10:52] <NMajik> fulio: then go into properties again
[10:52] <fulio> NMajik, ok
[10:52] <xIke> bastid_raZor: I tried sudo
[10:53] <shad0w> can i have text interface on ubuntu, world?
[10:53] <redheat> no it just freezes..
[10:53] <NMajik> fulio: diable roaming
[10:53] <benn92647> ---bruenig it kight help youto know that it didnt work with opera or IEs4linux
[10:53] <shad0w> can i have text interface on ubuntu, world ???
[10:53] <NMajik> fulio: See your essid now?
[10:53] <bastid_raZor> xIke, i have a terminal as root.. sudo bash then run that command
[10:53] <fulio> NMajik, nothing
[10:53] <redheat> out of nowhere, if I didn't move the mouse for a while and left the system unattended it just freezes..
[10:53] <bruenig> benn92647, do you have any other sound producing programs open?
[10:53] <NMajik> Fulio: nuts, one second
[10:53] <redheat> I have no screen saver or power saving scheme if that's what you thinking
[10:53] <vocx> !repeat > shad0w
[10:53] <bastid_raZor> bruenig, goofy but works.. ;)
[10:53] <benn92647> -----breunig yeah im listen to Bush on my rythm box now
[10:53] <Kumiriko> so i disabled the aspi and i still freeze with a blinking cursor shortly after starting a clean install on my box.  any suggetions
[10:53] <fulio> NMajik, k
[10:53] <shad0w> :)
[10:54] <xIke> bastid_raZor: I su'd and did it and it worked.  wonder why sudo doesn't
[10:54] <vocx> shad0w, yes of course you can have. Use the alternate install CD.
[10:54] <xIke> redheat: do you have any screensavers enabled?
[10:54] <redheat> but I noticed also that it happens when I"m running gnome interface rather than the KDE interface
[10:54] <redheat> no
[10:54] <shad0w> alternate install CD ?
[10:54] <shad0w> what's that?
[10:54] <NMajik>  fulio: in terminal type, iwlist eth1 scan
[10:54] <vocx> !alternate | shad0w
[10:54] <ubotu> shad0w: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[10:54] <getoo> bruenig: will it recognize the hardware as easily as on a pc ... for the mac install .... i do have a intel duo stuff on it
[10:54] <bastid_raZor> xIke, got me.. i tend to have a terminal as root open plus several other user tabs.. i'm insane with mass amounts of terminals open
[10:55] <xIke> redheat: any power saving settings?  it's possible that sleep isn't supported on your system and is locking it up
[10:55] <fulio> it said no scan results
[10:55] <fulio> NMajik, it said no scan results
[10:55] <xIke> bastid_raZor: yeah, I try to avoid su whenever possible though, it can be dangeorus
[10:55] <shad0w> where can i get the Alternate CD ?
[10:55] <shad0w> from where? :)
[10:55] <redheat> nope, absolutely, and by the way my system does support all kind of sleeping..
[10:55] <Shani`andras> OMg its finally working XGL + fglrx + vmware windows @ fullscreen , it roxxxxxx :D :D
[10:55] <redheat> even those on pills..
[10:55] <vocx> !download | shad0w
[10:55] <ubotu> shad0w: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[10:55] <xIke> bastid_raZor: yeah, that fixed the problem.  thanks.  where'd you find that?
[10:55] <benn92647> ----bruenig....No! come back!
[10:55] <NMajik> Fulio: But you're sure you can see the wlan in XP?
[10:55] <bastid_raZor> xIke, very true. i feel i have a decent lockdown on my system.
[10:55] <redheat> I have a motherboard 965P-DS3 by Gigabyte..
[10:55] <redheat> and it really rocks
[10:55] <benn92647> <<<<starts sobbing
[10:55] <xIke> redheat: there's a difference between your system supporting it, and ubuntu supporting your system :P
[10:56] <fulio> NMajik, i had vista first before i blast it to ubuntu
[10:56] <bastid_raZor> xIke, MordEth knows, Al' Thor MordEth knows
[10:56] <redheat> oh ok..:)
[10:56] <redheat> didn't know that..
[10:56] <xIke> check system:prefs: power management
[10:56] <NMajik> fulio: Did vista see it?
[10:56] <redheat> but in both cases ... it's the first time I have something like this
[10:56] <redheat> never had it before..
[10:56] <fulio> NMajik, yes.
[10:56] <xIke> bastid_raZor: ?
[10:56] <vocx> benn92647, sorry man, the guy is a busy person.
[10:56] <StARTLOL> hello ubuntu uses lilo ou grub?
[10:56] <timewriter> !gtk
[10:56] <ubotu> GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI
[10:56] <redheat> and by the way the freezing happens only under Gnome not under KDE
[10:56] <NMajik> Fulio: if that's the case, I'm stumped, sorry. You'll need to find someone that know more than me (I know basically nothing)
[10:56] <vocx> !grub | StARTLOL
[10:56] <ubotu> StARTLOL: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[10:56] <bastid_raZor> xIke, a friend of mine is a googling genius and he can fix all my issues. his username is MordEth
[10:56] <benn92647> i know i jsut want to watch amy winehouse rehab video on youtube
[10:56] <xIke> redheat: see what your sleep times are.  if your system locks up after 15 minutes, and it also is set to sleep after 15 minutes, you found your problem
[10:57] <ubuntu> hoola
[10:57] <fulio> NMajik, well can you help me with my desktop efffects then
[10:57] <StARTLOL> vocx,  thank you so much :D
[10:57] <vocx> !lilo | StARTLOL
[10:57] <ubotu> StARTLOL: lilo is an alternative [Li] nux Boot[Lo] ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.
[10:57] <redheat> I just checked it ..
[10:57] <ubuntu> hola?
[10:57] <redheat> all set to never when on AC power, but on UPS is a different issue
[10:57] <NMajik> Fulio: I don't know a darn thing about desktop effects

[10:57] <ubotu> ubuntu: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[10:57] <xIke> bastid_raZor: ah.  I'm fairly good with google, but right now I have tabs and windows open everywhere from fixing like 8 different problems.  eventually my usefulness reaches 0 :P
[10:57] <redheat> and I have a UPS by the way
[10:57] <fulio> NMajik, darn, Well thanks
[10:57] <ubuntu> thanks
[10:57] <B52doc> anyone have experience installing Steam with Wine ?
[10:57] <Flannel> B52doc: you might try #winehq

[10:57] <bastid_raZor> xIke, if i get stuck.. he is my last resort... yeah i know the feeling
[10:57] <redheat> xIke, can I ask you a question,, could be Beryl?
[10:58] <benn92647> Can someone please help me--i cant get any browser to communicate with my sound card in Linux
[10:58] <vocx> !english | ubuntu
[10:58] <ubotu> ubuntu: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[10:58] <redheat> sorry, I meant could it be Beryl
[10:58] <xIke> redheat: maybe, beryl's pretty beta
[10:58] <B52doc> I am just stuck on one part of the guide for installation :(
[10:58] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: your stil having that problem?
[10:58] <redheat> wow..

[10:58] <xIke> redheat: beryl has screensavers
[10:58] <benn92647> --indygunfreak YAY!   yes no matter what we have done it still doesnt work
[10:58] <ubuntu> do u like ubuntu?
[10:58] <redheat> oh one more thing, I got beryl to start with my system under Gnome, but I couldn't get it to do that under KDE
[10:58] <xIke> redheat: check your beryl prefs and see if they're starting a screensaver
[10:58] <caesar_> is there a way I can make Ubuntu reconfigure xorg.conf? Like, I want xorg.conf to be the way it was when I installed Ubuntu
[10:59] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: i take it you tried upgrading to the beta of flash
[10:59] <benn92647> not in opera..or IES4linux
[10:59] <ubuntu> how can I change the colors?
[10:59] <benn92647> ---indygunfreak yep
[10:59] <redheat> xIke, can you hold on for a second while I check that?
[10:59] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: very wierd.
[10:59] <xIke> redheat: sure
[10:59] <nickrud> caesar_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[10:59] <benn92647> ----indygunfreak is there a way to manually coonect firefox to my audio output?

[11:00] <redheat> xIke, can't find the Beryl Screen saver, under which tab of the Beryl Settings manager will I find it
[11:00] <vocx> xIke, you certainly need to answer faster. People always complain in that channel people are idle.

[11:03] <benn92647> ----nickrud how do i get Gnash?
[11:03] <xIke> redheat: how so?
[11:04] <redheat> I mean, set all the settings to their initial values when I first installed Beryl?
[11:04] <vocx> !gnash | benn92647
[11:04] <ubotu> benn92647: An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[11:04] <xIke> redheat: I'm not sure off-hand....someone else may know a way
[11:04] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: he tried gnash, that didn't work either
[11:05] <nickrud> benn92647, it's in the repos; .7.2 in feisty-security, .8 in backports
[11:05] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: i thought you said you tried gnash?... second, i don't think gnash works with all flash sites(youtube)
[11:05] <redheat> ok, I have this question, how can I make Beryl start with Ubuntu but under KDE?
[11:05] <vocx> IndyGunFreak, I really didn't care, I just wanted to fire the factoid
[11:05] <B52doc> My steam stops updating at 26%, I found a fix but it asks that I know where my steam executables are located, I dont know how to find them
[11:05] <benn92647> --nickrud I am a bignoob so how do i get there
[11:05] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: lol
[11:05] <redheat> I know how to make it start eachtime under Gnome, but under KDE, I don't know how?
[11:05] <nickrud> benn92647, try the aoss option if you have sound issues, it's worked for a lot of people
[11:06] <benn92647> ---nickrud already did it..didnt fix it
[11:06] <xIke> redheat: how do you start it in gnome?
[11:06] <benn92647> ---nickrud all i can think is ther is some kind of a conflict with my sound and firefox
[11:07] <redheat> ok..there's something called the start manager or something like that
[11:07] <beans1337> hi anyone here good with hard drives on ubuntu?
[11:07] <redheat> I just put beryl-manager there and that's it
[11:07] <nickrud>  benn92647 then me personally, I'd do an aptitude purge firefox && aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree && aptitude install firefox flashplugin-nonfree . And your thoughts on sound devices could be true :)
[11:07] <beans1337> can someone please help me with my hard drive?
[11:08] <benn92647> ---nickrud ok so i can complete purge all firefox and flahs from my system?
[11:08] <redheat> yes the Boot-Up manager
[11:08] <vocx> Hard drives are hard drives, what do they have to do with any OS.
[11:08] <onkarshinde> Has anyone successfully configured resolution for 32" LCD TV with Ubuntu?
[11:08] <nickrud> benn92647, you might want to consider using firefox's automatic flash install instead of flashplugin-nonfree
[11:08] <beans1337> i dont know how to install it cuz im a noob
[11:08] <redheat> xIke, the boot-up manager you just add a line to it and you write in it..beryl-manager
[11:08] <nickrud> benn92647, yeah, you've been messing with the files I'd suppose, get back to a baseline
[11:08] <xIke> redheat:  does this help: http://www.suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=26192&mode=threaded&pid=178872
[11:08] <benn92647> ---nickrud ok...but first tell me how to completely purge firefox and flash from all directories
[11:08] <XLV> onkarshinde, try lots of res.. use gtf from command line, until you get one that fits right for your screen's underscan/overscan needs
[11:09] <beans1337> i tried to install it but i think i messed up
[11:09] <onkarshinde> XLV: what is gtf?
[11:09] <nickrud> benn92647, do sudo -i in a terminal, then cut and paste the command above
[11:09] <vocx> beans1337, you bought a new drive and you want to install it? Just plug the power cables and the IDE or SATA cables. Run the BIOS and that's it.
[11:09] <XLV> Oni-Dracula, open a shell and write gtf
[11:10] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: you made that sound amazingly simple.. :)
[11:10] <beans1337> its plugged in and such, my problem is that i dont know how to mount it and all that
[11:10] <beans1337> i think i mounted it wrong
[11:10] <XLV> onkarshinde, start a shell and write gtf ... tab completion errors are a pita
[11:10] <vocx> IndyGunFreak, it's that simple!
[11:10] <onkarshinde> XLV: What do I make out from the output?
[11:10] <benn92647> ---nic run is it sudo -i apt purge firefox?
[11:11] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: lol, thus my :)
[11:11] <benn92647> lol
[11:11] <beans1337> its formatted and i thought i had it mounted to a folder, but the folder says 4.8 gigs and its a 80 gig hd
[11:11] <benn92647> ---nickrud is it sudo -i apt-purge firefox
[11:11] <beans1337> and it says i cant write to the folder
[11:11] <beans1337> this chat sure is helpful
[11:12] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: we strive
[11:12] <beans1337> c'mon i need help ppls
[11:12] <nickrud> benn92647, type in a terminal(forget about the sudo -i, I rewrote the command):  sudo aptitude purge firefox && sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree && sudo aptitude install firefox flashplugin-nonfree
[11:12] <vocx> beans1337, okay, you need a proper line in /etc/fstab  which is a text file. It is the job of an administrator to set this file so ask IndyGunFreak ....
[11:12] <redheat> xIke, this is the part that I"m talking about
[11:12] <redheat> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_install_Beryl_.28Nvidia.29
[11:12] <zombie_monkey> are there any advantages in using ext2 over ext3? less writes maybe?
[11:12] <nickrud> rflol
[11:12] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: lol, i've never had to set an option in fstab for a new hard drive..lol
[11:13] <IndyGunFreak> but that was pretty funny
[11:13] <arko> Hi all, I'm trying to get OpenSSL working on Ubuntu 7.04 desktop.  If I try to install the package using apt-get, it says I already have it.  But when I try to install Apache and PHP, it says it is not there.  Ideas?
[11:13] <XLV> onkarshinde, you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, add that modeline in Device section, then make it active in Screen section
[11:13] <redheat> or just type Beryl and search for Beryl, install beryl under Nvidia
[11:13] <onkarshinde> XLV: bingo
[11:13] <vocx> zombie_monkey, NO. ext3 is identical to ext2 save for the journal. The journal is good.
[11:13] <XLV> onkarshinde, yeah, its nice isnt it?
[11:14] <joshritger> I have a external drive that is fat32, it has the wrong mount point, how do I change its mount point?
[11:14] <redheat> xIke, are you still with me?
[11:14] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: if you go to Places/Computer, do you see an icon for your new drive?
[11:14] <onkarshinde> XLV: Wait, I haven't actually done it. :-)
[11:14] <benn92647> oh shit!
[11:14] <praet> bastid_raZor: great! I did it as echo "compiz-core hold" |sudo dpkg --set-selections
[11:14] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[11:14] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: did it work?
[11:14] <vocx> zombie_monkey, ext2 may be useful setting small partitions, which was a good idea for /boot directories, when hard drive space wasn't cheap.
[11:14] <onkarshinde> XLV: How do I make it active in screen section?
[11:14] <soulecho> im having issues installing Sun Studio 12 on 7.04... i extracted the tarball and when i went to execute the prepare_system script i got this error: ./prepare_system: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied
[11:15] <benn92647> -----nickrud it said removing my desktop and removing gnome supprot
[11:15] <redheat> xIke, are you there?
[11:15] <pgar23> need help installing ndiswrapper and some drivers.  CAN ANYONE HELP A NOOB!?!?!?! AIM= trialsize23  PLEASE HELLLLLLLpPPPPPPpPPPPP!!!
[11:15] <xIke> redheat: yeah...  will that link I pointed you to not work for kde?
[11:15] <IndyGunFreak> !wireless | pgar23
[11:15] <ubotu> pgar23: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:15] <redheat> it doesn't work for KDE? right?
[11:15] <beans1337> you guys suck you couild prolly help me in like 2 mins and this hd is driving me nuts and making me want windows back
[11:15] <beans1337> what do i gotta do
[11:15] <beans1337> i followed the instructions on the wiki and it didnt work
[11:15] <nickrud> benn92647, no, it's just removing the ubuntu-desktop metapackage; its no big deal. You can add ubuntu-desktop to the end of the aptitude install if you like
[11:15] <benn92647> ---nickron---and indygunfreak---it went crazy and just strarted saying it was removing stuff
[11:15] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: i already tried to help you and you jdidn't answer.
[11:15] <beans1337> helloooo
[11:15] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: those are meta packages, you should be fine.
[11:15] <beans1337> hellooooooooooooooo
[11:15] <redheat> xIke, one more last thing, and really sorry for bothering you
[11:16] <XLV> onkarshinde, if its the same as another standard res eg "1280x1024" you got to name it differently eg "1280x1024_mine" or something, then add it as first in screen section
[11:16] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: are you listening, or are you just trying to be annoying?
[11:16] <redheat> how do I change Gnomes theme?
[11:16] <nickrud> redheat, system-prefs-themes
[11:16] <xIke> redheat: no problem
[11:16] <beans1337> im sorry
[11:16] <xIke> redheat: that depends on what your window decorator is
[11:16] <benn92647> -----nickrud---indygunfreak---indy sorry...nickrud ok did the first one
[11:16] <beans1337> i just suddenly got like a million messages at once i was missing them
[11:16] <xIke> redheat: by default it's metacity in gnome
[11:16] <beans1337> one sec lemme scroll up
[11:16] <onkarshinde> XLV: Can you please explain in detail or paste example xorg.conf?
[11:17] <redheat> I don't use any
[11:17] <xIke> redheat: but if you've installed beryl, you quite possibly may be using emerald
[11:17] <redheat> exactly,
[11:17] <redheat> I have only emerald
[11:17] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: if you're gonna talk to me, prefix your line with my name, or i won't respond, cuz i won't see the text scroll by
[11:17] <beans1337> yes i see it indy
[11:17] <IndyGunFreak> ok.
[11:17] <beans1337> in places
[11:17] <redheat> how do I installed themes that come packaged in tar.gz format
[11:17] <benn92647> -----nickrud ok i purged everything you said
[11:18] <redheat> I extracted the file to a folder
[11:18] <xIke> then go to system:preferences:emerald theme manager to change themes
[11:18] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: if you see the drive there, then its probably just not in the proper file format for you to use it(its probably ntfs)....
[11:18] <redheat> but still it won't install
[11:18] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: is the new drive for windows, or is it for ubuntu, or both?
[11:18] <nickrud> benn92647, ok sudo aptitude install firefox ubuntu-desktop
[11:18] <vocx> beans1337, if you could point to the guide you are following that would be useful. (I still hate you for calling us suckers)
[11:18] <beans1337> i put it in ext3
[11:18] <xIke> redheat: yeah, I did that too when I first started
[11:18] <onkarshinde> XLV: Also, I am using i810 driver. Please tell me if I need to change that.
[11:18] <benn92647> ----nickrud you sure?  LOL *big smile*  ok here we go
[11:18] <xIke> redheat: it actually will take the archive and install from that...you don't have to decompress first
[11:18] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: you probably need to chmod it so you have permission to use it.
[11:18] <Geekosaur> join #openoffice
[11:19] <Geekosaur> Sorry!
[11:19] <beans1337> its all ubuntu
[11:19] <beans1337> i am the base user
[11:19] <redheat> ok, xIke, can you help me with this one..
[11:19] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: ok, and what happens when you try to write to it?.. do you get a permission not granted, or something like that?
[11:19] <vocx> beans1337, also put your /etc/fstab in a pastebin, along with the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[11:19] <redheat> I have a theme called Ununto Glassy
[11:19] <xIke> redheat: did that work?
[11:19] <redheat> and I downloaded it
[11:20] <vocx> !paste | beans1337
[11:20] <ubotu> beans1337: 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)
[11:20] <redheat> I haven't tried it yet
[11:20] <redheat> so just bear with me for a little
[11:20] <benn92647> linux rulea!..just be patient and know that it's not windows so you will need to install alot of stuff through terminal commands
[11:20] <ac-town> Im getting a error that /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 is missing
[11:20] <ac-town> How would i fix it
[11:20] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: you know i must be lucky, i've never had to add anything to fstab, nothing
[11:20] <beans1337> huh what is fstab
[11:20] <redheat> I opened Emerald, and I tried to import the theme but it didn't see it
[11:20] <soulecho> Is there anybody here who has had experience installing Sun Studio 12 on Ubuntu?
[11:20] <IndyGunFreak> !fstab
[11:20] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[11:20] <nickrud> ac-town, it's now /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; what ancient thing are you installing?
[11:20] <beans1337> i cant even make a folder in the drive
[11:20] <benn92647> ---indygunfreak...its cause your perfect and everything you do comes out perfect
[11:21] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: lots not push it..lol
[11:21] <XLV> onkarshinde, no, i810 should work.. well, eg your tv has res 1366x864 and you want 60Hz refresh.. you write the command gtf 1366 864 75
[11:21] <ac-town> nvidia-gtx
[11:21] <xIke> redheat: and that was the archive, not the decompressed folder?
[11:21] <redheat> no it didn't work?
[11:21] <ac-town> nvidia-glx*
[11:21] <benn92647> ---indygunfreak--hey you need a little jinxing ")
[11:21] <B52doc> where are program files stored under wine ?
[11:21] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: sometimes luck is just as good as perfection..lol
[11:21] <vocx> IndyGunFreak, it is really great to change fstab, because they even tell you that is sysadmin stuff, you know, you are in command.
[11:21] <redheat> yes, I decompressed it and it didn't see anything at all
[11:21] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: naa... i was just trying to get my tomtom to work w/ roadnav.. don't think its gonna happen though
[11:21] <benn92647> ---nickrud..ok i did it now what
[11:21] <redheat> I meant the emerald theme editor
[11:22] <XLV> onkarshinde, then you take that modeline, and you paste it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Section "Monitor" ( in which you should have by now input the specs of your tv )
[11:22] <redheat> it saw nothing
[11:22] <onkarshinde> XLV: I have done that. I have added modeline to xorg.conf. What I want to know is how to make it default entry in 'Screen' section.
[11:22] <benn92647> ---indygunfreak..that's why we dual boot LOL
[11:22] <xIke> redheat: that's what i'm trying to say...don't decompress
[11:22] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: i gotcha.., i only have my main drive, and a 500gig usb external, and they've always worked fine.
[11:22] <XLV> onkarshinde, you must enter it before all others in all bit depths...
[11:22] <xIke> redheat: let emerald theme manager open the archive
[11:22] <dts> is it possible to upgrade from dapper to feisty in one step?
[11:22] <beans1337> indy i can see the hd, there is a lost and found folder in it. i cannot right click it and make a folder the option is greyed out
[11:22] <redheat> ok, I tried to use the archive
[11:22] <nickrud> benn92647, let's try this: go to youtube, and when it says it needs a plugin, let it install
[11:22] <ipx> Can anyone give me the feisty repos for wine that gives me the newest version all the time
[11:22] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: sigh.. i know... thats why i had to give xp 15gigs of my life back.
[11:22] <redheat> it didn't see at all
[11:22] <benn92647> ---nickrud ok
[11:22] <redheat> either as an archive or as a decomprssed folder
[11:23] <XLV> onkarshinde, eg if it was "1280x1024" "1024x768" etc, its got to be "1366x864" "1280x1024"  etc
[11:23] <benn92647> ----indygunfreak---we are all slaves to the mighty Gates LOL
[11:23] <nickrud> dualboot, vmware works just fine
[11:23] <xIke> redheat: and you're sure you downloaded an emerald theme?  not a metacity or other such theme?
[11:23] <onkarshinde> XLV: Ok. Will try it and be back in 5-1- minutes hopefully
[11:23] <redheat> wait?
[11:23] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: you do not have permission to edit the drive, thus why you can't us it...., you need to give your user privileges of the device.
[11:23] <redheat> I downloaded from the Gnome theme website
[11:23] <redheat> that's all I know..
[11:23] <redheat> you know that famous website
[11:24] <IndyGunFreak> ipx: ?  jut add the wine repo to your repo list, it wil update automatically when new versions come out.
[11:24] <xIke> redheat: gnome-look
[11:24] <ipx> IndyGunFreak: i want the repo to add :)
[11:24] <xIke> redheat: those are probably metacity themes
[11:24] <IndyGunFreak> ipx: http://www.winehq.com
[11:24] <ubuntu> bvbmnm jhjh
[11:24] <ipx> thanks, didnt know it was so obvious
[11:24] <IndyGunFreak> ipx: thats not the repo, thats where you get the repo.
[11:24] <vocx> IndyGunFreak, I really believe beans1337 is ignoring me... Well anyways, I'm gonna watch TV... so good luck to both.
[11:24] <beans1337> voxc what do i do to make it so i can use my hd?
[11:24] <xIke> redheat: you want to either use emerald themer's ability to get new themes (download gpl themes, download non-gpl themes) or go to themes.beryl-project.org and grab themes there
[11:25] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: noooooooooooooooooooo
[11:25] <ipx> IndyGunFreak: yep i know :)
[11:25] <ipx> thanks
[11:25] <IndyGunFreak> ipx: oh ok..lol
[11:25] <ipx> i didnt figure it was that easy
[11:25] <ipx> :)
[11:25] <redheat> ok roger that
[11:25] <savvas> why is irssi 0.8.11 still in backports? i've tested it and it's working 100% - even better than the old version

[11:26] <redheat> no worries at all
[11:26] <redheat> thank you for keeping this IRC chat clean,
[11:26] <andreasjdkj> Can i split up a PDF file so that I can exclude page 1 and 2 from the finished product, which still has to be in pdf format?
[11:26] <naksha> There's nothing on the sources.list thats related to medibuntu.. When I was in feisty, I tried to get a theme off the medibuntu repository.
[11:26] <bruenig> naksha, you need to get the key from medibuntu
[11:27] <onkarshinde> naksha: You fotgot to import GPG key of medibuntu repos
[11:27] <redheat> we all have been down that trodden road of bad IRC chat channels, and this would be a good opportunity not to create another one around here
[11:27] <naksha> i don't have the source in sources.list
[11:27] <redheat> thank you all
[11:27] <naksha> so whats up?
[11:27] <redheat> take care
[11:27] <nickrud> benn92647, now go put the     FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"   in /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
[11:27] <redheat> Bye
[11:27] <andreasjdkj> En dansker.....
[11:27] <beans1337> im sorry vox and uindy i keep getting the messages in giant chunks
[11:28] <naksha> I don't have medibuntu in the sources.list so why is ubuntu asking me for the key?
[11:28] <vocx> beans1337, it's called "lag", it happens...
[11:28] <nickrud> benn92647, then restart firefox
[11:28] <IndyGunFreak> beans1337: type this w/o quotes.. "/join #indygunfreak"
[11:28] <andreasjdkj> Can i remove some pages from a pdf file?
[11:28] <beans1337> im the only user how can i not have permission
[11:28] <XLV> onkarshinde, you have to set up alsa mixer, its a little complex, creating a proper .asoundrc config file for the mixer... look for alsa 4.1 setup in google or something
[11:28] <nailz> lo, whats the best way to uninstall clamav?
[11:29] <naksha> this is my sources.list
[11:29] <naksha> http://pastebin.com/m37798c47
[11:29] <bruenig> nailz, how did you install it?
[11:29] <joshritger> can someone tell me how to change the mountpoint of a fat32 drive?
[11:29] <jcs7778> is there a compiz fusion channel?
[11:29] <bruenig> naksha, medibuntu installs lists in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[11:29] <onkarshinde> XLV: Ok. I will search google
[11:29] <benn92647> ---nickrud it wont let me edit it and save...do i need to use a shell exstensiojn?
[11:29] <naksha> bruenig: hmmm didn't know that.. but why?
[11:29] <bruenig> naksha, because that is the point of sources.list.d
[11:30] <benn92647> ----nickrud i opened it in text editor
[11:30] <bruenig> naksha, it allows for very clean sources addition without having to edit files
[11:30] <nickrud> benn92647, do gksudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc    ; the files in /etc are system files, and are owned by root.
[11:30] <KleRo1> hello, does someone knows what is the "default adress" of the HDA Intel? i'm trying to make teamspeak work but I can't seem to be able to hear or speak.. and I think it's because teamspeak doesnt automatically detects HDA intel and goes with some other oss device
[11:30] <naksha> bruenig: so how do I go about removing it?
[11:30] <bruenig> naksha, simple delete the file
[11:30] <bruenig> simply*
[11:30] <xeer> does anyone one have experience with dmraid? i have the offset to my raid controller but i cant find the spot in the source to insert it so i can recompile

[11:34] <benn92647> ------nickrud what is the possiblity of it being a port problem?
[11:34] <KleRo1> oh yes i think thats the right thing nickrud... but how do i run teamspeak with the "aoss" command?  and no, i'm not native english, i'm italian :p

[11:41] <benn92647> ----nickrud i need to find a way to manually force firrefox to a port and then manually configure that port to go to soundout through my card
[11:41] <nickrud> benn92647, that's essentially what aoss is supposed to do.
[11:42] <Gizmo_the_Great> Hi. How can I get Ubuntu to show me a listing of all the files created today?
[11:42] <benn92647> ----indygunfreak I have an esy one for you..how do i edit grub to allow me the option to boot XP
[11:42] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: lol, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst  and change your timer...
[11:42] <benn92647> --nickrud the sound is probably coming out but not thru my speakers
[11:42] <naksha> according to this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/133193, it should be fine if I remove rythmbox with libmtp5 but i cant
[11:43] <nickrud> Gizmo_the_Great, http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/01/19/find-files-that-are-modified-today-or-since-certain-time-ago-in-unix/
[11:43] <benn92647> ---indygunfreak but wher do i put in the winows xp boot option?
[11:43] <naksha> http://pastebin.com/d215ac768
[11:43] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: oh, you don't have a windows boot option?
[11:43] <Gizmo_the_Great> nickrud, thanks!
[11:44] <benn92647> ---indygunfreak said command not found
[11:44] <IndyGunFreak> benn92647: then you entered it wrong
[11:44] <benn92647> ----let me get back to you...im going to hook up the windows drive now
[11:44] <nickrud> Gizmo_the_Great, a tip: using "linux" or "unix" in a google search really helps: that was number one on "unix find today's files"
[11:45] <somerandomguy12> Um, I have a file that totem (both the gstreamer and the xine versions) can't play. It's WMV3 in AVI. Any ideas?
[11:45] <somerandomguy12> And before anyone asks, yes, I do have w32codecs
[11:45] <Gizmo_the_Great> nickrud, erm, thanks for the help but, as with many questions asked here, sometimes it's difficult to know what to ask Google to find the answers you want.
[11:45] <nickrud> somerandomguy12, you can try vlc
[11:46] <somerandomguy12> nickrud, yeah, it plays in MPlayer. I was just hoping to make totem play it since that's what seems to be used for generating thumbnails.
[11:46] <nickrud> Gizmo_the_Great, very true. it's just a hint, not a criticism. I've been blindeyed also
[11:47] <walkover> which is the fastest: pow(x,2) or x*x?
[11:47] <walkover> x is int
[11:47] <nickrud> walkover, depends on the language, both should end up as the same machine code
[11:47] <NoiZe> :
[11:47] <NoiZe> :)
[11:47] <lifeforms> Q: I upgraded a Ubuntu 6.06 LTS machine to new hardware which has another onboard NIC (rtl8139); it is detected and assigned eth0 in dmesg, but it's not in ifconfig and 'ifconfig eth0' gives 'Device not found'; is there anything I must do to enable this new NIC?
[11:48] <relix> Hey, my clock doesn't synchronize
[11:48] <relix> and the button "synchronize now" is disabled
[11:48] <walkover> im pretty shure its not the same in mashine code. should pow(x,10) then be x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x
[11:48] <aaanone> if I am installing software from an SVN repository, is there something I need to do to make sure apt knows about it?
[11:48] <relix> anything I can do?
[11:48] <nickrud> walkover, ideally it gets optomized during compilation. Heavy on the ideally
[11:49] <walkover> yeah
[11:49] <nickrud> walkover, so again, depends on the language and compiler
[11:49] <walkover> its c++ and gcc
[11:49] <walkover> iso c++
[11:50] <bulmer> lifeforms: try ifup eth0
[11:50] <salah_> hi. after login on, gnome simply freezes and nothing more than the loading panel is showed. the happened after changing the xorg.conf file, reinstalling my screen driver. any idea how to restore the desktop?
[11:50] <walkover> backup of your xorg.conf ??
[11:51] <salah_> walkover, then the screen won't work properly
[11:51] <imbecile> anyone, what is a cdi file?
[11:51] <walkover> but did it work before you tampered with it ?
[11:51] <somerandomguy12> imbecile, it could be several things, tried google?
[11:51] <salah_> imbecile, http://filext.com/file-extension/CDI
[11:52] <salah_> walkover, yes
[11:52] <imbecile> im googling right now
[11:52] <somerandomguy12> well, I did your work for you. Looks like some kind of disc emulator format.
[11:52] <imbecile> salah) thanks
[11:52] <somerandomguy12> proprietary.
[11:53] <nickrud> walkover, it's an old article but has some useful links if you want to investigate further: http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/730/
