[12:09] <npepinpe> The only way I know how to fix this is by reinstalling alsa, but it's the third times this happens and I don't want to have to do it every time.
[12:10] <tehk> I created a Templates folder in my home directory but the templates inside do no add anything to my right click menu. Does anyone know of a solution?
[12:10] <jerryrighter> is there another extractor for .rar files to use?
[12:11] <PriceChild> jerryrighter, other than unrar?

[12:19] <barbarella> Drk_Guy:i'm lazy to copy and paste the link, can't you tell me.
[12:19] <kristofer> it uses an i810 driver..
[12:19] <bulmer> kwizard: you can use ifconfig or ip
[12:19] <kwizard> ye

[12:23] <thedash> hey guys, I lost power, and now I have no sound, any suggestions ?
[12:24] <fujin_> is there a way to change what the 'volume control' media keys actually control?
[12:24] <nickrud> thedash, turn on the power?
[12:24] <fujin_> or how to specifically disable my onboard audio
[12:24] <nickrud> fujin_, system-prefs-keyboard shortcuts
[12:24] <scipio> theconartist: one idea here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476146&highlight=bad+quality+sound
[12:24] <kwizard> So I take it no one knows anything about Ubuntu servers then?
[12:24] <fujin_> nickrud: that's not what I asked
[12:25] <Shrimpy_> kristofer: its either xserver-xorg-video-i810  or xserver-xorg-video-intel
[12:25] <fujin_> nickrud: I want to change what soundcard it controls. The keys are working
[12:25] <fujin_> they are just controlling the wrong soundcard
[12:25] <Drk_Guy> Guys
[12:25] <thedash> I tried doing a generic 'speaker-test' and it gives me this error :: Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
[12:25] <Drk_Guy> I want to d/l WineX
[12:25] <Drk_Guy> Apt-get has it=
[12:25] <Drk_Guy> =?
[12:26] <kitche> Drk_Guy, no it does not have cedega
[12:26] <kristofer> Shrimpy_, yeah I've tried both of those.. it's probably a user error. I'm just trying to solve it though..
[12:26] <Drk_Guy> WineX!!!!, no Cedega!!!
[12:26] <Drk_Guy> >:o
[12:26] <kitche> Drk_Guy, you do know WineX = Cedega
[12:26] <Drk_Guy> WineX is the cool one, Cedega is the lame one
[12:26] <Drk_Guy> WineX is GPL, Cedega isn't
[12:26] <Shrimpy_> kristofer: ok :)
[12:27] <Drk_Guy> But they both have the same stuff ;)
[12:27] <tokj> Drk_Guy: no. winex is the cvs version of cedega, without some features
[12:27] <nickrud> fujin_, ah, try right clicking the volume control, and prefs. You can make some selections there
[12:27] <Drk_Guy> So, i have the URL of the repo
[12:27] <tokj> Drk_Guy: winex IS NOT gpl. is afpl
[12:27] <Drk_Guy> Btu i don't know how to d/l it
[12:27] <Drk_Guy> Wow, thx tokj
[12:27] <BlueSurf> PriceChild: i tried using ndiswrapper and it seems to detect my card but wont let me enable the connection
[12:28] <PriceChild> BlueSurf, I can't help with ndiswrapper, never used it.
[12:28] <PriceChild> BlueSurf, best i can do is direct you to documentation if i know the chipset
[12:28] <kitche> Drk_Guy, checkout the sources for it and compile
[12:28] <Drk_Guy> I have the svn repo, where the sources are, but i don't know how to d/l it the right way
[12:29] <BlueSurf> PriceChild: I cant find out the chipset for this model

[12:32] <T3hMikey> could someone help me get my resolution working right? I tried that stuff on that link from !res, but it's still not working. I edited in the resolution I want to the xorg.conf file, restarted Xserver, and it still won't show up on the screen resolutions preference box
[12:32] <tokj> Drk_Guy: http://www.cedega.com/license.php?source=1 here are the instructions. i can't help you further
[12:32] <abelfaec> I'm looking for a torrent, or a mirror for ubuntu ultimate 1.4 dvd edition. I'm aware it's unsupported, and i don't need help isntalling it or setting it up, however it'd be awesome if someone here had a link, the linuxtracker torrent has a borked tracker on it. and all the mirrors have capped bandwidth usage
 sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:33] <jacob_> does anybody know how to launch an mp3 or mpg file?
[12:33] <jacob_> from the terminal
[12:33] <ari_stress> use mpg321
[12:33] <T3hMikey> chuy_max, I did that, and I told it to add my resolution, then restarted Xserver again just in case, and it still won't show up on the list
 depends in the app you want to use, mpg321 plays mp3 from the console
[12:33] <Drk_Guy> tokj: Sorry, but i had that url WAY back
[12:33] <clearzen> Jacob: Do you have a xsession running?
[12:34] <tyler_> Has anyone here managed to actually get a Chaintech AV-710 working? I've been trying desperalty to get it working properly. It seems I can any one of:  Sound to SPDIF, More than one app playing sound at the same time, OSS emulation working, but not more than 1 at the same time. This shouldn't be that hard.
[12:34] <jacob_> chuy_max mpg321 is a program for the terminal?
[12:34] <abelfaec> no one have ubuntu ultimate 1.4 dvd iso sitting around? willing to make a new torrent or something :/
[12:34] <chuy_max> jacob_ yes
[12:34] <macd> tyler_, you could try changing from OSS to alsa
[12:34] <neverblue2> !offtopic | abelfaec
[12:34] <ubotu> abelfaec: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[12:34] <jacob_> Drk_Guy what is xsession?
[12:34] <abelfaec> :/
[12:34] <tyler_> macd: I am using alsa. 7.04 install fresh off the CD
[12:34] <neverblue2> O_o
 in GNOME, System -> Preferences -> Screen resolution
[12:34] <tokj> Drk_Guy: you have to agree the AFPL license so you can read the download instructions
[12:34] <abelfaec> that's not really off topic.
[12:35] <T3hMikey> chuy_max, yes, that's where I've been going to try to change it, but the new resolution refuses to show up there
[12:35] <clearzen> Jacob: xsession is your user interface basically
[12:35] <neverblue2> abedo, really, you want someone else to open a torrent for you, and you feel thats not off topic?
[12:35] <macd> tyler_, well, if you head on over to alsa-project.org they have a pretty good troubleshooting guide along with some scripts that dump enough info to let us better diagnose the problem
[12:35] <neverblue2> abedo, there are lots of sites for downloading ubuntu, your more than happy to use them
[12:36] <abelfaec> i was just asking if anyone had it. It seems fairly ubuntu - applicable.
 if it refuses to be shown, either your driver/video card doesn't support higher resolutions, your monitor doesn't, you didn't configure it right, or I don't know .. :)
[12:36] <jacob_> chuy_max, how do i use mpg321?
[12:36] <jacob_> to launch an mpg
[12:36] <smoenux> O.o ... Process >> Beagled - Helper >> Using 72% + CPU ..!! :( ... How can I stop it ?? what is it doing?
 mpg321 launches mp3, not mpgs, if you want video use mplayer
[12:37] <neverblue2> abelfaec, now your disregarding the fact that you wanted someone to torrent it?
[12:37] <T3hMikey> chuy_max, well, I'm dual booting windows, and this is what I've been using on Windows, so I'm pretty sure it's supported. Last time I tried Ubuntu, it was pretty easy to add the same resolution, but this time, it's being a pain
[12:37] <jacob_> mplayer is a terminal program?
[12:37] <jacob_> command line program
[12:38] <abelfaec> i was asking if anyone had it, neverblue2, and a possible solution i offered up was a torrent, i also asked for links, or any other solution.
[12:38] <neverblue2> jacob_, every application in linux is run via the command line
[12:38] <neverblue2> abelfaec, so your asking me for links?
[12:38] <chuy_max> jacob_ you can launch all apps from the terminal, obviously you can't display a video in the console
[12:38] <neverblue2> jacob_, some open a GUI interface, some do not
[12:38] <David-A> smoenux: probably indexing. it runs nice (low priority) so it dosnt disturb other processes so much.
[12:39] <Drk_Guy> Hey guys, if you want some linux tips and tricks (specially for Ubuntu ;) ) visit my site!
[12:39] <abelfaec> i am not specifically asking anything of you, neverblue2, actually, i don't plan on asking anything of you. I was askign a room populated with abotu 2000 users if anyone knew where to find a file. So no, it was nto directed at you.
[12:39] <neverblue2> jacob_, some ppl recommend opening applications in a command line, as if the program fails, the output from the program will display in the shell, which helps to resolve the issue
[12:39] <Drk_Guy> Pm me for the URL
[12:39] <neverblue2> abedo, good luck :)
[12:39] <clearzen> Jacob: check this out http://polishlinux.org/apps/cli/moc-console-audio-player-for-linux/
[12:40] <David-A> smoenux: ... see "top" PR column
[12:40] <smoenux> thx David-A ... Isn't it bad for the cpu to run like this though ??
[12:40] <smoenux> or will it stop once the indexing is done?
[12:40] <Shrimpy_> i was wondering if somebody could tell me if anybody could teach me how to use aircrack
[12:40] <David-A> smoenux: yes if will stop
[12:40] <smoenux> cools ^_^
[12:41] <smoenux> thats ok then .. :) makes me happy
[12:41] <smoenux> Thanks for the help
[12:41] <David-A> smoenux: using cpu is generally not bad for the cpu (unless the cpu fan is broke)
[12:42] <neverblue2> jacob_, does that help you to understand?
[12:42] <smoenux> ah ok... :P ... I don't know enough on the subject... which is why I was a wee bit worried :P
[12:43] <neverblue2> !offtopic | Shrimpy_

[12:50] <maxinator> hello everybody, can someone give me the command to close the normal gnome-desktop? nautilus --no-desktop dont seem to work
[12:51] <lImItaO> it's possible to keep aspec ratio in ManDVD?
[12:51] <jerryrighter> how do you turn on 3D acceleration
[12:51] <David-A> maxinator: do you mean like logout?
[12:52] <Thirtysixway> My friend was having computer trouble and they were like "can you fix it?" I told them I'd get them a ubuntu disk lol
[12:52] <Sivik> good for u
[12:52] <Thirtysixway> ;x
[12:52] <nickrud> maxinator, if you mean just not drawing the icons on the desktop, run gconf-editor  and untick  /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop
[12:52] <Arrick> !vpn
[12:52] <ubotu> From more information on vpn please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gaming_VPN_Using_PPTPD
[12:52] <Thirtysixway> What port does vpn use?
[12:52] <Arrick> 2227 default
[12:53] <Arrick> but you can change it
[12:53] <Thirtysixway> What about vnc?
[12:53] <Thirtysixway> The remote desktop on ubuntu
[12:53] <neverblue> vnc 3389
[12:53] <neverblue> or tahts Remote desktop
[12:53] <ajehuk> 9300 - 9400 rings a bell - Ill check
[12:53] <dane2> ubuntu doesnt want let my laptop run in anything higher than 640x480, how can I fix it :/
[12:54] <maxinato1> /name maxinator
[12:54] <Thirtysixway> Can't you change it in xconfig or something?
[12:54] <Grungebunny> dane get the right video driver?
[12:54] <Arrick> 5900, 6900
[12:54] <Arrick> vnc
[12:54] <neverblue> vnc is 5900
[12:54] <neverblue> thanks Arrick :/
[12:54] <Falstius> on vncserver is generally 590x where x is the display number (1 for the first, 2 for the second, etc)
[12:54] <Arrick> both
[12:54] <Thirtysixway> ok
[12:54] <dane2> Grungebunny: I don think they have one for linux, but why would my laptop need it and my desktop not need it?
[12:54] <ajehuk> knew there was a 9 in it...
[12:55] <Grungebunny> dane did you enable the driver from system>administration>restricted drivers ?
[12:55] <dane2> I tried and it says that my system doesn need any restricted drivers
[12:55] <ajehuk> wierd - my iptables rules show 5800 + 5900 for vnc
[12:56] <neverblue> dane2, that means its enabled :)
[12:56] <Arrick> uhmm, thats correct now that I think about it
[12:56] <Arrick> ajehuk ^
[12:56] <ajehuk> Arrick - yeah it is.
[12:56] <dane2> so why doesnt it work, then?
[12:56] <riotkittie> Anyone well versed in ndiswrapper - I'm using a usb adapter with the prism2 chipset and while there is some degree of support for it, I can't use anything but WEP. if i go the ndiswrapper route, wpa/wpa2 should work ?
[12:57] <riotkittie> I'm thinking about buying another adapter with an ralink chipset but at the same time, i'm not eager to spend money on one
[12:57] <thecross> is there any way to clean up the sound on my laptop?  I get a constant buzzing noise that I can hear when wearing headphones. and when I move the mouse around or type I get a strange interconnection with the sound card
[12:58] <maxinato1> sorry, but my wlan ***** ..... how can i kill the gnome-desktop nautilus --no-dekstop dont work
[12:58] <Falstius> thecross: have you tried turning down the microphone?
[12:58] <riotkittie> thecross - what kind of sound card does your laptop have?
[12:58] <thecross> riotkittie: how do i find out?
[12:59] <thecross> Falstius: Ill just try
[12:59] <Falstius> thecross: mute microphone and line in.  I had that help on one laptop (and it is easy to try)
[12:59] <riotkittie> thecross : yea, its probably the mic; Falstius is a genius :P
[12:59] <ajehuk> riotkittie - I decided that for the added reliablity and since I use quite a bit of wireless kit at home (2 laptops and a handheld) that spending a little extra cash for stabilities sake was worth it - I ended up spending 17total for 3 adapters that just work.  (7 for a dell card for the handheld and 10 for the two pcmcia cards) well worth it
[12:59] <scipio> thecross: i gave you a link earlier but i think i hit the wrong name with tab. did you see that?
[01:00] <thecross> Falstius: nope, made no difference
[01:00] <riotkittie> ajehuk > if i could pick up cards for $3 ... :P
[01:00] <thecross> scipio: nope did not see it
[01:00] <scipio> thecross: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476146&highlight=bad+quality+sound
[01:00] <ajehuk> riotkittie - ebay? its what I did in the end
[01:00] <scipio> thecross: try what other suggested as well
[01:00] <ajehuk> \lright maybe not $3
[01:01] <ajehuk> whats that these days? 1.50
[01:01] <riotkittie> ajehuk > i've been watching eBay for like two weeks. the adapters i'm looking for, with the chipsets i need are going for about $30
[01:02] <riotkittie> if i was using my laptop full time, i might bite. wait. my laptop has a pcmcia card that works fine with linux :P
[01:02] <Emperorcezar> Any ideas on why nm applet would refuse to change networks? It also never progresses past the connecting animation even though it is fully connected.
[01:02] <ajehuk> riotkittie - thats what I though initially but apart from the dell card (shoulda bought a few of them the local cex store resells them at )) all of mine are unbranded wit a linux compatable chipset...
[01:02] <mjgoins> anyone know why so many packages would show up as coming from 'an untrusted source' if my sources.list only contains lines referring to ubuntu.com sites?
[01:02] <riotkittie> ajehuk > what chipset is it, if you know offhand?
[01:02] <Midnight_Abuse> Hah.
[01:03] <Arrick> hey all, how would one go about making ubuntu server 7.04 into a system that will route (or forward) port 80 calls to different servers inside the network
[01:03] <ajehuk> I dont know off hand - but I can have a quick look....
[01:03] <johnny^B> whats up peeps
[01:04] <dane2> dell should make more drivers linux compatible
[01:04] <AncientRelic> SIS Mirage graphics, anyone know where I can get a decent Linux driver for it?
[01:04] <riotkittie> dane2 > i'm sure that they're getting to it.
[01:04] <ajehuk> riotkittie - ralink but they are some generic german brand
[01:04] <Midnight_Abuse> Yeh heard Dell was gonna make Linux preinstalled.
[01:04] <AncientRelic> Dell is
[01:04] <dane2> theyve had plenty of time though
[01:05] <AlgorthmicContro> Midnight_Abuse: That's really old.
[01:05] <dane2> they put dell on some of their desktops already
[01:05] <ajehuk> riotkittie - dont know what the dell one is but it was listed on one of the familiar sites as compatable
[01:05] <Midnight_Abuse> What, me? :| Oh thanks.
[01:05] <ajehuk> and its quite old
[01:06] <gbw> hello, i have a strange phenomena today, that is in the network manager icon, there is no wireless network option, but i have wireless connection, does anyone know what is the problem?
[01:06] <AlgorthmicContro> Midnight_Abuse: and they already have, the thing is they charge a 100 dollars more just for the manufactures to install it and somehow still preloaded it with Dell shit, they don't want to use profits and money, IE a simple copy of XP Home home on a dell branded computer costs ~$99
[01:06] <riotkittie> ajehuk > ahhh, yea. i'm looking for something with an ralink chipset. i've got a list of usb adapters that contain them, including the generics. but im not having much luck finding anything but d-links and linksyses. i'm sure a new batch will pop up within the next couple of days. perhaps i'll have better luck then :D
[01:06] <thecross> I tried that link you gave me, but it made no difference. I still get a buzzing sound all of the time.
[01:07] <AncientRelic> riotkittie: what about Zydas USB adapters?
[01:07] <ajehuk> riotkittie - I think it is about timing - Oh and I was after pcmcia cards and there seem to be boatloads of them available at any one time.
[01:07] <AncientRelic> mine work perfectly in Feisty
[01:07] <mjgoins> do you need a new gpg key for aptitude after upgrading to a new ubuntu version? All my sources (which are the standard ubuntu repositories) are showing up as untrusted
[01:07] <riotkittie> AncientRelic: do those use the ralink chipsets?
[01:08] <AncientRelic> nope
[01:08] <AncientRelic> Zydas is the chipset
[01:08] <lImItaO> it's possible to keep aspec ratio in ManDVD?
[01:08] <AncientRelic> they're actually Airlink101 cards
[01:08] <ramza3> my sound sometimes doesnt work, can I restart the sounder server to restart and what would the command be?
[01:08] <riotkittie> AncientRelic: oh :o
[01:08] <AncientRelic> riotkittie: cheap Fry's stuff FTW
[01:08] <ajehuk> riotkittie - but I will say that compared to using my previous card with ndiswrapper, these cards are sterling, I can finally listen to music and watch films down stairs without all the cabled hassle... (Oh and I can finally stream music to my handheld whilst Im in the garden - that is really nice...)
[01:09] <riotkittie> AncientRelic: oh yea, Fry's is awesome. i will have to go look around their site
[01:09] <scipio> mjgoins: i don't think so. see !easysource and replace the whole file just to be sure
[01:09] <gbw> can someone give me a shot?
[01:09] <AncientRelic> why can't Intel put up Ubuntu drivers
[01:10] <riotkittie> ajehuk: i need this for a desktop :P  i could solve my problem by just yanking the cable from my La Fonera and killing my hotspot...  :|
[01:10] <AncientRelic> riotkittie: you're trying to get your desktop wireless?
[01:11] <ajehuk> riotkittie - that'd be... elegant....
[01:11] <nickrud> mjgoins, you can try sudo aptitude update ; that may clear the untrusted
[01:11] <thecross> anybody have any other ideas why i get this buzzing sound on my laptop? it seems like it might be related to the display. as anytime there is movement on the display there is a change in pitch
[01:11] <BlueSurf> how do i find out what the chipset is for my linksys wkpc54g wireless-g notebook adapter?
[01:11] <Midnight_Abuse> What are pro/cons about computers?
[01:11] <AncientRelic> BlueSurf: Linksys is probably Broadcom
[01:11] <riotkittie> AncientRelic: my desktop is wireless. in terms of connection.  but i can only get WEP under linux.
[01:11] <mjgoins> !easysource
[01:11] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[01:11] <nickrud> Midnight_Abuse, pro, they make good anchors after a while
[01:11] <riotkittie> linksys might be ralink. they have a few.
[01:12] <Midnight_Abuse> I need more, and ty.
[01:12] <gbw> ok, i solve it, i check my /etc/network/interfaces and find out there is suddenly a new line auto eth1 appear
[01:12] <BlueSurf> ancientrelic, yeah thats what i think too but my specific card has 4 different versions
[01:12] <riotkittie> BlueSurf > open a term and type "lspci | grep linksys"  without the quotes ... or lspci alone
[01:12] <AncientRelic> Marvell, BlueSurf ?
[01:12] <ward_> had anyone got a speedtouch 510 ? i've wasted several hours and i still dont have a simple port forward
[01:13] <ward_> i really don't know what to do anymore :s
[01:13] <knoppix> how do i listen music in ubuntu?
[01:13] <BlueSurf> Marvell?
[01:13] <AncientRelic> Marvell was bought out by Atheros IIRC
[01:13] <riotkittie> knoppix: music as in music? or music as in mp3?  or some other 'restricted' format?
[01:13] <ward_> knoppix, xmms among other software
[01:13] <knoppix> uh
[01:13] <AncientRelic> ward_: is that a router?
[01:13] <Midnight_Abuse> What other communication tools where built from the 'computer'?
[01:13] <riotkittie> atheros <3
[01:13] <ward_> AncientRelic, its a modem with built in router, yes
[01:14] <riotkittie> mpg321 ftw.
[01:14] <AncientRelic> ward_: DSL huh?
[01:14] <ward_> AncientRelic, yes (dynamic ip)
[01:14] <BlueSurf> AncientRelic, so how would I go about installing my wireless card?
[01:14] <silvertip257> I needed to move partitions, so I deleted my swap and moved it.  How to I recreate a UUID that I can enter in my /etc/fstab config ?
[01:14] <riotkittie> knoppix: what is your issue exactly -  do you not have codecs? or are you lost in terms of software?
[01:14] <knoppix> listence
[01:14] <Midnight_Abuse> Hmm.
[01:14] <AncientRelic> BlueSurf: I presume you tried jsut plugging it in
[01:14] <Falstius> silvertip257: when you ran mkswap it gave you the uuid.  If you didn't write it down, run mkswap again :)
[01:14] <mjgoins> scipio: thanks, that worked
[01:15] <freakyfelt> got a quick question about trying to boot ubuntu on my macbook pro if anyone could help
[01:15] <silvertip257> Falstius:  thanks !
[01:15] <scipio> mjgoins: excellent
[01:15] <cec> Hi I'm having a problem with a slowdown in the time it takes to launch programs--even a terminal takes forever. htop shows cpu and ram usage are minimal. No major changes except updates. Any ideas where I can look. Using 7.04 a Thinkpad x60
[01:15] <riotkittie> knoppix: if you're using the GNOME desktop ... open up the application menu and go to...  sound? media?  im not looking at it so i'm unsure but there are players in there
[01:15] <AncientRelic> ward_: Honestly, best bet is to get a pure DSL modem, chuck the integrated router AT&T locks those suckers tight
[01:15] <knoppix> yes, i'm using
[01:15] <knoppix> very good
[01:15] <AncientRelic> then run out and get a WRT54GL
[01:15] <BlueSurf> AncientRelic, yes of course , and I also tried ndiswrapper
[01:15] <ward_> AncientRelic, i use it as pure ADSL modem, i got a seperate router :-)
[01:15] <knoppix> my english is bad
[01:15] <AncientRelic> OK
[01:16] <silvertip257> Falstius:  so I just need to run "mkswap /dev/xxx" to get the UUID ?
[01:16] <ward_> AncientRelic, DHCP from the modem = OFF
[01:16] <ward_> :-)
[01:16] <riotkittie> brb
[01:16] <ward_> AncientRelic, its jsut that i can't forwards a port with this weird thing
[01:16] <knoppix> bye
[01:17] <freakyfelt> i tried booting from the live cd on my macbook pro and i hit the BusyBox and it came up with an error about not being able to log in to tty, leaving me with an (initramfs) prompt
[01:17] <AncientRelic> ward_: I'm stumped then, honestly when confronted with that integrated crap, I just dug out a modem without a router from my salvage :P
[01:17] <Falstius> silvertip257: you'll need to run swapoff /dev/xxx first, but yes.
[01:17] <silvertip257> ok -- it's off already b/c I destroyed the UUID earlier ;)
[01:17] <nickrud> cec, when I had that problem recently, it was because my hostname wasn't consistent. I edited /etc/hostname to the correct name, edited /etc/hosts so that the hostname appeared after localhost, and ran /etc/init.d/hostname.sh start (sudo is needed for each)
[01:17] <ward_> AncientRelic, i don't have a salvage lol
[01:18] <AncientRelic> ward_: try Craig's List I've seen DSL modems still wrapped floating around in there
[01:18] <Azih> Hey guys, I just installed meld a tool for diffing/merging etc. and I need to run it as sudo so that I can actually merge stuff. How do I do that?
[01:18] <AncientRelic> for like 10-20
[01:18] <ward_> knoppix, what is your regular language? there are also ubuntu channels in other languages
[01:18] <cec> nickrud, thanks funny, just changed my hostname so that has to be it much obliged!
[01:18] <knoppix> Vietnamese
[01:19] <knoppix> but i using english
[01:19] <ward_> AncientRelic, what is Crag's List?
[01:19] <scipio> Azih: i'm guessing here but try "gksudo meld" if it has a gui
[01:19] <AncientRelic> ward: www.craigslist.org
[01:19] <ward_> AncientRelic, thanx
[01:19] <Azih> I think that worked scipio. Thanks.
[01:19] <musikgoat|laptop> ward_: its an internet garage sale of all sorts of things
[01:19] <scipio> Azih: you're welcome
[01:20] <ward_> haha musikgoat|laptop
[01:20] <AncientRelic> musikgoat|laptop: More ebay with out the hassles ;)
[01:20] <ward_> well i'm unemployed, no money for modems when the old one is still working
[01:20] <AncientRelic> ward_: I might be there soon too, so I feel for you
[01:21] <knoppix> ward: where do i can download RPM and DEB packages?
[01:21] <ward_> knoppix, hmmm i don't think there's a vietnamese channel, not sure
[01:21] <AncientRelic> anyone know about video drivers?
[01:21] <knoppix> you can use english
[01:21] <neverblue> AncientRelic, whats that?
[01:22] <ward_> knoppix, i know, but local irc rooms can be handy sometimes
[01:22] <ward_> AncientRelic, nvidia or ati?
[01:22] <knoppix> ward_: uh, thanks
[01:22] <AncientRelic> ward_: SIS
[01:22] <neverblue> AncientRelic, old card?
[01:22] <ward_> AncientRelic, no dunno anytihng about those
[01:22] <AncientRelic> neverblue: brand new mobo
[01:22] <ward_> all nvidia here
[01:22] <neverblue> AncientRelic, waiting for the question....
[01:23] <thecross> so nobody has any other ideas on how I can get this buzzing sound to stop on my laptop?
[01:23] <ward_> does anyone know how to port forward a SpeedTouch 510 ?
[01:23] <AncientRelic> neverblue: well Intel has Linux drivers on their site for it, but they're for SUSE, Fedora, and Mandrive
[01:23] <AncientRelic> Mandriva
[01:23] <musikgoat|laptop> ward_: portforward.com
[01:23] <AncientRelic> aka RPMs
[01:23] <neverblue> AncientRelic, and?
[01:23] <AncientRelic> Any way to use those with Linux?
[01:23] <neverblue> AncientRelic, im sure you can use the drivers already available
[01:24] <AncientRelic> neverblue: they work at 800x600
[01:24] <neverblue> AncientRelic, talk in #ubuntu-effects, they probably have had more experience with it
[01:24] <AncientRelic> but not at higer res's
[01:24] <neverblue> AncientRelic, which driver?
[01:24] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, doestn seem to help
[01:24] <AncientRelic> IIRC, whatever's on the CD
[01:25] <freakyfelt> anyone know anything about booting ubuntu on a macbook pro?
[01:25] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, but in the help of the modem it even says its not possible to port forward stuff that are comming in from outside :s
[01:25] <cec> nickrud, That fixed it thanks.
[01:25] <nickrud> cec, yw
[01:25] <musikgoat|laptop> ward_: not alot of modems have routing,   what is your ip address that you get from the modem?
[01:25] <Pe3k> hello, pls I would like to publish video I recorded on web but it is large (mpeg2, 720x576, 24fps  - 1 minute has over 400MB) . could anybody give me advice  - which format / software shall I use?
[01:26] <neverblue> AncientRelic, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep driver
[01:26] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, my modem is connected to my router, DHCP is off on the modem, the ip my router gets from the modem = 192.168.2.1, the ip i have from the router is 192.168.2.3
[01:26] <AncientRelic> neverblue: give me a minute to check
[01:26] <neverblue> AncientRelic, put that in a shell, and check the results
[01:26] <knoppix> i can learn C language where?
[01:26] <Falstius> Pe3k: if you don't need to be super concerned about quality, just use mencoder file.mpg -ovc lavc -oac copy -o file.avi
[01:26] <Sivik> 192.168.#.# is a internal ip address
[01:26] <neverblue> knoppix, online, of course
[01:26] <ward_> offcourse it is... ffs
[01:26] <knoppix> ?
[01:27] <AncientRelic> ward_: The point is your router/modem is doing NAT once
[01:27] <AncientRelic> and your other router is doing NAT again
[01:27] <ward_> AncientRelic, i know that i portforwarded both
[01:27] <AncientRelic> ok
[01:27] <Sivik> ward_, thats over kill to do redundant nating
[01:27] <neverblue> later everyone
[01:27] <ddelony> knoppix: Heres
[01:27] <musikgoat|laptop> yeah, double nat can sometimes be an issue
[01:27] <knoppix> uh
[01:27] <ward_> AncientRelic, my modem to my router, my router to my webserver
[01:27] <musikgoat|laptop> but your stuck with that modem, so do with what you can
[01:27] <ddelony> Oops, Here's a tutorial: http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/C/
[01:28] <knoppix> thank
[01:28] <musikgoat|laptop> ward_: what speedtouch 510 version is it
[01:28] <ward_> Sivik, the modem has no wifi, the router does, this is not my house i don't make the calls...
[01:28] <musikgoat|laptop> SpeedTouch510Alt SpeedTouch510i SpeedTouch510v4.0 SpeedTouch510v4.2 Speedtouch510v4.3 Speedtouch510v5 Speedtouch510v6
[01:28] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, a v4, latest firmware installed
[01:28] <Sivik> ward_, then the person who is in charge is a moron when it comes to networking
[01:28] <nickrud> lol
[01:29] <alexbOrsova> I have a problem with an ISA SoundBlaster 16S sound card, on ubuntu 7.04, can anyone here help me?
[01:29] <ward_> Sivik, the moron in charge would be my dad without knowledge of networking
[01:29] <Sivik> ward_, what kind of ap/router?
[01:29] <musikgoat|laptop> ward_: this doesn't do it?  http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Thomson-Alcatel/SpeedTouch510v4.0/FTP.htm
[01:29] <ward_> Sivik, a belkin, let me see for the exact type
[01:29] <Sivik> have u tried reading throught the manual
[01:29] <freakyfelt> i tried booting from the live cd on my macbook pro and i hit the BusyBox and it came up with an error about not being able to log in to tty, leaving me with an (initramfs) prompt. any ideas?
[01:30] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, i cant even find the list of modems on that site, first time i see this
[01:30] <ward_> let me see
[01:30] <knoppix> how do i create a IRC account?
[01:30] <Pe3k> Falstius: thanks a lot :) it reduced size of video 1 minute long to 14MB ..with good quality ;)
[01:30] <knoppix> i using KNOPPIX
[01:30] <Grungebunny> knoppix you dont' need an account to use irc.. your using it now :)
[01:31] <knoppix> uh
[01:31] <Falstius> Pe3k: yeah, the default quality is good enough for most things.  There are lots and lots of confusing options you can use if you want (but it is generally not worthwhile)
[01:31] <dho_ragus> knoppix: /msg nickserv
[01:31] <Drod> I want beagle search, in Add/Remove Applications, what is the difference between Search and Search & Indexing?
[01:31] <ddelony> knoppix: You can, however, register your nick.
[01:31] <musikgoat|laptop> knoppix seems like it would already be registered, but give it a shot
[01:32] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, thats exactly what i did and that didnt work
[01:32] <ddelony> Yeah, the hard part of picking a username is finding one that isn't already taken. :-)
[01:32] <Sitherae> lol
[01:32] <alexbOrsova> how do you register usernames?
[01:32] <Pricey> !register | alexbOrsova
[01:32] <musikgoat|laptop> meaning, you got into the right settings,  everything worked right per the instructions, but you cant get the ports forwarded?
[01:32] <ubotu> alexbOrsova: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[01:32] <dho_ragus> freakyfelt: what version of the livecd did ou try?
[01:33] <freakyfelt> 7.04
[01:33] <Sitherae> So.. Guys im about to buy a new graphics card... going to be Nvidia an reccomendations on what manafacturer to use?
[01:33] <Sitherae> any*
[01:33] <freakyfelt> ive installed it on parallels and on a home built pc fine
[01:33] <musikgoat|laptop> Sitherae: i have a BFG,  it has a lifetime warranty
[01:33] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, they save fine, portforwarding jsut doenst seem to work, and the router is fairly straightforward, should work fine
[01:33] <dho_ragus> freakyfelt: huh... weird.  i haven't tried it, but i'd expect that it would work.
[01:33] <ddelony> Sitherae: ATI driver support really sucks.
[01:34] <Sitherae> ddelony: I know I have ATI right now.. so im getting Nvidia
[01:34] <Sitherae> So BFG is good?
[01:34] <freakyfelt> dho_ragus: any idea how to get it to load up from that prompt?
[01:34] <musikgoat|laptop> i have a BFGtech 7800 GT, and I've loved it
[01:34] <dho_ragus> Sitherae: bfg is the best, definitely get the most frags with that.
[01:34] <dho_ragus> :P
[01:35] <musikgoat|laptop> hehe
[01:35] <alexbOrsova> I have a ISA SoundBlaster 16S but I can't get it working in Ubuntu 7.04, can anyone help?
[01:35] <alexbOrsova> sound card
[01:35] <musikgoat|laptop> ward_: what are you trying to forward?
[01:35] <dho_ragus> ISA?  it's likely that the hardware is broken
[01:35] <Sitherae> musikgoat: 256 or 512?
[01:35] <alexbOrsova> no it works in Windows ME
[01:35] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, http
[01:36] <kyuubiseal> aha
[01:36] <dho_ragus> huh, well that's a good first step in troubleshooting
[01:36] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, but i also tried another port, and forward that into port 80, didnt work either
[01:36] <musikgoat|laptop> Sitherae: mine is 256
[01:36] <ward_> so normally it can't be my ISP
[01:36] <freakyfelt> should i try the text-based installer?
[01:36] <Grungebunny> interesting thing..
[01:36] <alexbOrsova> I also have a SoundBlaster 16XV (still ISA) but I cant get that one to work either
[01:36] <musikgoat|laptop> but the GTX is a good card, amongst others
[01:36] <Grungebunny> According to DesktopLinux.com's just completed survey, the number of Desktop Linux users has more than doubled in the past year, and Ubuntu remains their Linux distribution of choice. Of significance, Ubuntu's growing prominence has made GNOME surpass KDE as the most popular desktop environment.
[01:36] <alexbOrsova> if either worked I'd be happy
[01:36] <alexbOrsova> but neither do
[01:36] <kyuubiseal> for those of u that are having troubles with internet......there's a bug in it(ubuntu)
[01:37] <dho_ragus> a bug??  are you kidding??
[01:37] <ward_> kyuubiseal, then file a bug report :-)
[01:37] <kyuubiseal> i found a awesome beryl program for windows
[01:37] <alexbOrsova> I have also tried 'sudo modproe snd-sb16' and it gave an error
[01:37] <john_> Hey, can somebody please help me? I'm trying to install WASTE (http://waste.sourceforge.net/). I've already downloaded wxwaste 1.5 beta 4 and unzipped it, but i'm new to Ubuntu (and linux in general) and i'm not sure what to do...

[01:39] <dho_ragus> lots of ISPs block port 80
[01:39] <moo2> manual changes to /etc/resolv.conf keep being over-written by the system - is there a preferred way to set IPs for DNS?
[01:39] <lImItaO> it's possible to keep aspec ratio in ManDVD?
[01:39] <Sitherae> Are 8600GTSs good?
[01:39] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, i tested another port too (and surfed to it the right way)
[01:39] <dho_ragus> it's best to just use a high-number alternate port.
[01:39] <kyuubiseal> have u tried yod'm 3d
[01:39] <HansHermans> is there a way to install eclipse through apt-get without installing gcj? I just want it to use sun's java. The binary from eclipse.org returns errors
[01:39] <musikgoat|laptop> Sitherae: the 8xxx series has a differnent chipset
[01:39] <freakyfelt> dho_ragus: would i have a better chance by trying the text-based installer cd?
[01:39] <musikgoat|laptop> i don't know if the linux drivers for that are stabel
[01:40] <kyuubiseal> alienware rocks heh
[01:40] <Sitherae> musikgoat: Ahh
[01:40] <mahasamatman> I am going to do a reinstall and want to keep all of the data my wife and I have saved - can I just burn a copy of the home directory?
[01:40] <musikgoat|laptop> i could be wrong though, i haven't checked lately
[01:40] <dho_ragus> freakyfelt: probably not.  you can try some additional boot options though, like noacpi or that sort of thing
[01:40] <kyuubiseal> Ubuntu has an internet prob
[01:40] <freakyfelt> kk. thanx
[01:40] <alexbOrsova> does anyone here have a working soundblaster in ubuntu linux?
[01:40] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, so what i tried too: portforward port 8888 entering the modem from outside, to port 80 going trough the router
[01:40] <dho_ragus> alexbOrsova: i thin i do...
[01:40] <sike_> sorry?
[01:40] <AncientRelic> neverblue: still around?
[01:41] <ward_> and the router should have portforwarded port 80 to my PC
[01:41] <alexbOrsova> see if you can find out what kind it is
[01:41] <Nayara> heeeellllooooooooo
[01:41] <dho_ragus> alexbOrsova: yeah, an audigy.
[01:41] <musikgoat|laptop> ward_: and that didn't work as well?
[01:41] <john_> Grungebunny: thanks, i'm reading it over. hopefully this will help
[01:41] <alexbOrsova> oh, that's pretty recent
[01:41] <ddelony> Is ISA support enabled in the Ubuntu kernel by default?

[01:41] <alexbOrsova> i dont know
[01:41] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, correct, that didnt work, shall i try it again to make sure i didnt overlook anything?
[01:41] <alexbOrsova> hopefully because I doubt I can compile my own kernel

[01:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about snd-sb16 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:42] <musikgoat|laptop> ward_: I would try direct to your modem

[01:42] <ward_> musikgoat|laptop, great idea, brb
[01:42] <mahasamatman> I am going to do a reinstall and want to keep all of the data my wife and I have saved - can I just burn a copy of the home directory?
[01:42] <alexbOrsova> @mahasamatman: why not?
[01:42] <CTho__> I installed XP and it clobbered grub.  I'm booted from the ubuntu CD now - how do I restore grub?
[01:43] <alexbOrsova> @CTho_: run the install cd, then
[01:43] <alexbOrsova> cancel the installation
[01:43] <kersinc07> #ubuntu-es
[01:43] <mahasamatman> @alexb0rsova - I want to make sure that's all I need to do
[01:43] <stassk8> 
[01:43] <alexbOrsova> when it asks you to select a step, choose install grub
[01:43] <scipio> CTho__: http://www.google.com/bookmarks/url?url=http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft%3D224351%26highlight%3Drecover%2Bgrub&ei=DMrMRvDaJYiGqwPjgs3cDw&sig2=t8kh4VxoSYTJ2wMBrNMxPw&zx=_BYU2LnAKnU&ct=b
[01:43] <ddelony> alexBorsova: My guess is that since Ubuntu is designed for newish hardware that the stock kernel only supports PCI. The kernel configuration menu does have options for supporting ISA. Kernel configuration isn't that hard once you ge the hang of it. It's a rite of passage for any Linux user.
[01:43] <ddelony> !kernel
[01:43] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[01:44] <Grungebunny> im convinced I need to compile my kernel
[01:44] <alexbOrsova> well I don't know anything about C/C++
[01:44] <Cap1ain> what is events/0 ?
[01:44] <ddelony> alexbOrsova: You don't have to. Configuration is menu-based.
[01:44] <Cap1ain> its taking 99% of my cpu and has been running  for 166 minutes
[01:45] <alexbOrsova> I can program in many languages but I've never tried to lean the big one (C++)
[01:45] <ward__> musikgoat|laptop, DHCP on the modem = on, i was wrong
[01:45] <alexbOrsova> menu-based?
[01:45] <dho_ragus> Cap1ain: kill it
[01:45] <alexbOrsova> ddelony:ike an executable that does it all for you?
[01:45] <alexbOrsova> *like
[01:45] <Cap1ain> dho_ragus, shouldnt i figure out why its doing that?
[01:46] <ddelony> alexbOrsova: When you unpack the kernel source you can either use a text-mode menu or an X menu.
[01:46] <dho_ragus> Cap1ain: if you're looking for enrichment. ;-)
[01:46] <ward__> musikgoat|laptop, what would be a good port to choose instead of 80 ?
[01:46] <ward__> musikgoat|laptop, would 8888 be ok?
[01:46] <musikgoat|laptop> 8080
[01:46] <musikgoat|laptop> sure
[01:46] <alexbOrsova> is there any way to enable ISA support without recompiling? if not, I might do it...
[01:46] <musikgoat|laptop> its all up to you
[01:46] <ward__> ok
[01:47] <squarebottle> I know how to add programs to the startup by going to Applications>Sessions, but how do I add things to the Sessions startup list via the command line?
[01:47] <alexbOrsova> it just seems odd that it's not an option or something
[01:47] <ddelony> !kernel module
[01:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel module - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:47] <Cap1ain> dho_ragus, kill -9 wont kill it
[01:47] <dho_ragus> Cap1ain: `sudo kill -9` ?
[01:47] <Cap1ain> im logged in as root
[01:47] <dho_ragus> oh, well that's not a good idea.
[01:47] <ward__> musikgoat|laptop, now i immediately get an error, so i think the modem jsut refuses
[01:47] <ddelony> alexbOrsova: Linux uses often loadable kernel modules for device drivers.

[01:57] <john_> i'm trying to run a batch file, but when i double click it, gedit opens up. so i try dragging and dropping it into the terminal and hitting enter. it then says permisison denied. then i tried adding the word "sudo" in front to make it run the batch as root, but it says no such command
[01:57] <alexbOrsova> using synaptic?
[01:57] <t0th_-> driver: vesa video card ati xpress 1200
[01:57] <john_> so how do i run the darn batch file?
[01:57] <gnomefreak> t0th_-: vesa isnt working?

[01:57] <gnomefreak> t0th_-: what is the error you are getting?
[01:57] <alexbOrsova> john_: you can't run .bat (batch) files in linux
[01:58] <ward__> alexbOrsova, i know
[01:58] <gnomefreak> t0th_-: do you have vesa as the driver in xorg.conf?
[01:58] <dho_ragus> john_: try doing `sudo -s` and then running the command.
[01:58] <ddelony> john_ You chmod files to make them executable.
[01:58] <t0th_-> yes gnomefreak
[01:58] <john_> thanks for the tips, i'll try it out

[01:59] <john_> yah, i'm in as root now. thanks :)
[01:59] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM:  try to remove it using synaptic
[01:59] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: and if you're really brave try to remove the files manually
[01:59] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: I'm using the server version, so I do not have a gui
[01:59] <ddelony> john_ Scripts usually start with a shebang (#!) line to tell the kernel which interpreter to run the script with: i.e #! /bin/bash for a shell script, /usr/bin/perl for perl.
[01:59] <t0th_-> gnomefreak wath url?

[02:01] <CodemasterMM> nickrud: i'll try that
[02:02] <CodemasterMM> nickrud: nope, that failed when i tried to reinstall it
[02:02] <wanger> ward__ : maybe, hang on - i'll have a look around for something appropriate sounding
[02:02] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: it's weird, though - I only modified the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and i have deleted that
[02:02] <nickrud> CodemasterMM, could you put the complete error from a removal attempt with apt-get on a pastebin
[02:02] <ward__> wanger, thanx a lot
[02:02] <CodemasterMM> sure
[02:03] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: well that's the problem
[02:03] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: if you modified it by hand, it's possible you made a mistake
[02:03] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: right, I deleted it and purge removed the package
[02:03] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: and that's why it said it 'wasn't fully configured'
[02:03] <t0th_-> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34731/
[02:03] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: you should have restored it to a previous state before attempting to remove it
[02:04] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: I once had a similar problem with X11
[02:04] <CodemasterMM> im sure that was fun
[02:04] <nickrud> alexbOrsova, it should have uninstalled anyway, but possibly it may fail because it couldn't stop samba. The error should tell
[02:04] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: i modified a configuration file and afterwards, it wouldn't start and kept giving me errors
[02:04] <CodemasterMM> oh boy :x
[02:04] <wanger> ward__  nah there doesn't seem to be anything of any use on freenode, it's used primarily by the open-source software community

[02:05] <t0th_-> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34731/
[02:05] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: not only that but I couldn't uninstall or modify it
[02:05] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: i hope samba has a sample smb.conf maybe...
[02:05] <nickrud> CodemasterMM, it's a fixable thing, where's the error report?

[02:06] <CodemasterMM> i'll post a reinstall attempt, alexbOrsova
[02:06] <alexbOrsova> wow I totally guessed that
[02:06] <alexbOrsova> ok, go for it
[02:07] <MonkeyFit> so i just got me an 8800GTX, and was going to install Ubuntu, but i can't get anywhere past the disc boot menu
[02:07] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: http://pastebin.com/d6f1855e3
[02:07] <gnomefreak> t0th_-: do you have xserver-xorg-video-all installed?
[02:08] <MonkeyFit> it goes to a black screen like it's going to switch to the loading animation, but then stays a black screen
[02:08] <MonkeyFit> i can't make it to the live CD GUI
[02:08] <t0th_-> hmmm
[02:08] <alexbOrsova> codemastermm, it looks like it tries to start samba before reinstalling it
[02:08] <CodemasterMM> that's weird
[02:08] <gnomefreak> t0th_-: also make sure you have the desktop package installed if gnome its ubuntu-desktop
[02:08] <t0th_-> i install ubuntu default
[02:08] <alexbOrsova> of course that fails so apparently it gives up on reinstalling it
[02:08] <CodemasterMM> haha
[02:09] <alexbOrsova> of course if it didn't fail maybe the reinstall might work
[02:09] <alexbOrsova> so I think you need to get a sample samba config file
[02:09] <alexbOrsova> for the one you modified
[02:09] <alexbOrsova> or look for the backup (you know, with the ~)
[02:09] <t0th_-> :(
[02:10] <MonkeyFit> has anybody ever run into my problem?  of not being able to get into the Live CD GUI
[02:10] <alexbOrsova> this channel sucks you in
[02:10] <alexbOrsova> ive helped 4 people so far and haven't really received that much help in return
[02:10] <t0th_-> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=525436&page=2
[02:10] <t0th_-> more people eith the same problem
[02:11] <t0th_-> with
[02:11] <bulmer> alexbOrsova: so?
[02:11] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: yeah, i know how it is; what sound card problem do you have, although i am sure i won't know anythin about it
[02:11] <alexbOrsova> my SOundBlaster 16S (ISA, not PCI) wont work
[02:11] <CodemasterMM> oh wow
[02:11] <mcrandello> is the UUID garbage in the grub menu.lst a required thing? It sort of showed up out of the blue this last install
[02:11] <alexbOrsova> I've already tried 'sudo modprobe snd-sb16'
[02:11] <alexbOrsova> it errors out
[02:12] <alexbOrsova> saing the device doesn't exist
[02:12] <t0th_-> in debian my X work fine
[02:12] <t0th_-> the problem is with the ubuntu
[02:12] <nickrud> CodemasterMM, yoiu could try dpkg -i --force-conf-miss ,it'll reinstall the default config files
[02:12] <alexbOrsova> when I can see it installed in my computer :)
[02:12] <bulmer> mcrandello: garbage? you think they designed those things with garbage?
[02:12] <nickrud> CodemasterMM, erm --force-confmiss that is
[02:12] <CodemasterMM> nickrud: yeah, that'd be perfect
[02:13] <mcrandello> bulmer, well it certainly doesn't look human readable, not even when I feed it to a leet speak translator ;P
[02:13] <simonlb> i'm not quite sure how to describe my audio problem, but audio input seems to default to the wrong device.  what works is "YMFPCI (hw:0,3)", which is an option in some programs (audacity, skype, wengophone) but not in others (ekiga)
[02:13] <doms> how to disable java online games inside my firefox because most of my internet students  are playing online games? how can i disable it?
[02:13] <simonlb> and reading from /dev/dsp doesn't work either
[02:13] <nickrud> mcrandello, grub still recognizes the old syntax
[02:13] <bulmer> mcrandello: well its not, its just a numbering
[02:13] <alexbOrsova> bulmer: 'so?': it doesn't encourage repeat use
[02:14] <bulmer> alexbOrsova: maybe if you are patient..someone that knows will assist
[02:14] <nickrud> the uuid's make sense in the long run, I just wish it was more, language-like
[02:14] <zyth> doms: sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-plugin
[02:14] <bmxmarine> BMXMARINE
[02:14] <alexbOrsova> I've been on here for 2 hours
[02:14] <mcrandello> that's my problem too
[02:14] <doms> how to disable java online games inside my firefox because most of my internet students  are playing online games? how can i disable it?
[02:14] <mcrandello> I just don't like looking at those long ass 43oih345o...etc things
[02:15] <bulmer> alexbOrsova: i have been here more than that..so be patient
[02:15] <bmxmarine> does anyone know of a good p2p program
[02:15] <bmxmarine> ?
[02:15] <alexbOrsova> doms: uninstall or disable the plugin (check about:plugins)
[02:15] <CodemasterMM> nickrud: http://pastebin.com/d7d81319b
[02:15] <bulmer> bmxmarine: azurreus is one
[02:15] <bmxmarine> in ubuntu?
[02:16] <Flannel> !uuid | mcrandello
[02:16] <ubotu> mcrandello: 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)
[02:16] <dho_ragus> bmxmarine: azureus does run in ubuntu
[02:16] <Flannel> mcrandello: You can always use the old stuff, it's just less robust.
[02:16] <alexbOrsova> bulmer: out of curiosity, how long have you been here? and how mush spare time do you have?
[02:16] <doms> my sun-java6-plugin is not installed in my synaptic but still i can play java online games? how can i disable it?
[02:16] <pucca> hi everyone
[02:16] <alexbOrsova> bulmer: do you have a wife and kids?
[02:16] <bmxmarine> is it a program i can search for files and download, or is it more like a handler for torrents?
[02:16] <mcrandello> well gods forbid I get my two hda1's confused with one another ;^)
[02:17] <alexbOrsova> *much
[02:17] <dho_ragus> bmxmarine: it's a torrent client, no search built in.
[02:17] <gnychis> how do i install a .deb i downloaded from getdeb.net ?
[02:17] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: just recently Azureus added a search
[02:17] <dho_ragus> bmxmarine: for that type of function you'd need something like gnutella
[02:17] <bulmer> alexbOrsova: yes, you want to adopt mine, they can be yours..lolz
[02:17] <simonlb> my sound cards are using these modules: snd_via82xx, snd_ymfpci
[02:17] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: I believe the search they added is more for legal torrents, though
[02:17] <alexbOrsova> bulmer: lol :)
[02:17] <bulmer> they eat a lot and they are hard headed
[02:17] <thedash> are there any non-alphanumeric characters that Ubuntu doesn't ignore in the folder sorting ?
[02:17] <doms> my sun-java6-plugin is not installed in my synaptic but still i can play java online games? how can i disable it?
[02:17] <dho_ragus> gnychis: dpkg install file.deb, i think
[02:17] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: what does samba do exactly?
[02:17] <simonlb> everything in alsamixer is set correctly according to every guide i could find
[02:17] <mcrandello> can I assign my own UUID's somehere, something like "dev-hda1" instead of the cd-key to vista in there?
[02:17] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: windows-accessable shared directories, etc.
[02:18] <bmxmarine> know of any that would fit that bill?
[02:18] <simonlb> i just have to use a bizarro device to read microphone input that's only available in some apps
[02:18] <nickrud> CodemasterMM, let's do a complete removal; aptitude purge samba , and show me the failure log from that
[02:18] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: have you deleted the file that you modified?
[02:18] <simonlb> any way to make /dev/dsp read from the proper device?
[02:18] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: yes
[02:18] <dho_ragus> bmxmarine: nah, i don't do p2p on ubuntu, but you could try `apt-cache search p2p` or `apt-cache search gnutella`
[02:18] <Flannel> mcrandello: you can.  Using... uh, some file system tool that I don't remember the name of.
[02:18] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: there is no error when i purge it
[02:18] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: after your failed reinstallation attempt, was it replaced?
[02:18] <simonlb> (which is YMFPCI - AC'97 (hw:3,0)... whatever that means)
[02:19] <doms> how to disable java online games inside my firefox because most of my internet students  are playing online games? how can i disable it?
[02:19] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: no, last time i tried to reinstall it, the config file was not replaced, which baffled me a bit
[02:19] <doms> my sun-java6-plugin is not installed in my synaptic but still i can play java online games? how can i disable it?
[02:19] <mcrandello> Flannel, ah okay then that's something else to look up then once the system is rebuilt
[02:19] <bmxmarine> i think i will, i got pissed at vista and i moved back to linux after 5 years
[02:19] <bmxmarine> i just got tired of reinstalling vista
[02:19] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: wow, what made the experience so horrible
[02:19] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: it baffles me too...
[02:19] <mcrandello> I'm just a little upset that on top of clobbering the options that kept my wifi running it added that
[02:20] <CodemasterMM> yup, it fails again
[02:20] <CodemasterMM> so very weird.
[02:20] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: maybe it's an optional config file that you need for samba to work with your system
[02:20] <dho_ragus> bmxmarine: i used vista since it was available in beta, and i finally gave up on it completely a month or two ago.
[02:20] <diazepam> openvpn gurus - can anyone tell me what directory i should put the ca.crt  client1.crt and client1.key files ?? (on the client machine of course)
[02:21] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: do you remember the steps you took to install samba?
[02:21] <CodemasterMM> diazepam: honestly, for me, i just keep all of my ssl certs in one directory and memorize that location since i have a variety of services that use them
[02:21] <bmxmarine> yea i sent the program back to microsoft and said don't worry about giving me money i then converted all of the family computers ( 7 of them )  to ubuntu and now everyone is happy
[02:21] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: yup, just a simple aptitude install ;)
[02:21] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: wow
[02:21] <bmxmarine> how did you change you font color?
[02:22] <alexbOrsova> bmxmarine: why didn't you ask for money?
[02:22] <simonlb> anybody know how to turn off microphone loopback?  nothing in alsamixer seems to adjust it without turning off capturing altogether
[02:22] <CodemasterMM> once games work natively or emulation works very well, linux will definitely be used more, at least for me ;)
[02:22] <diazepam> CodeMaster - thanks
[02:22] <nickrud> CodemasterMM, you could remove  add -v to the first line of /var/lib/dpkg/info/samba.postinst and run it directly, see what error messages you get
[02:22] <CodemasterMM> welcome
[02:22] <bmxmarine> i told them i will cause more damage to them by turning everyone i meet onto linux
[02:22] <CodemasterMM> nickrud: yeah, i can try that - see what verbose debug problems it hits
[02:22] <Flannel> mcrandello: You can do it without repartitioning.  You might even be able to do it live (without booting to a liveCD)
[02:22] <alexbOrsova> bmxmarine: did you get a reply?
[02:23] <dho_ragus> bmxmarine: if you were talking about my font color, things show up differently if you use a persons full handle in the line, so when you're addressing somebody it stands out to them.
[02:23] <alexbOrsova> bmxmarine: that's why i type your name when im talking to you
[02:23] <alexbOrsova> bmxmarine: it stands out :), so did you get a reply from redmond?
[02:23] <bmxmarine> yea weird, they sent me a copy of vista and a year of there  support  and a letter gay
[02:24] <alexbOrsova> bmxmarine: can you email me the letter :) ?
 like this?
[02:24] <bmxmarine> no i see
[02:24] <alexbOrsova> bmxmarine: yea
[02:24] <bmxmarine> so then is worked?
[02:25] <alexbOrsova> bmxmarine: yeah it worked
[02:25] <bmxmarine> i remember irc way back in the day
 way back not all these colors
[02:25] <simonlb> anybody have any ideas?  i've already RTFM and not had any luck
[02:25] <CodemasterMM> well that was funny
[02:25] <alexbOrsova> bmxmairne: haha :)
[02:26] <alexbOrsova> simonlib: whats the problem?
 the kernel is so adept now tho, i cana even to fluid 3d
[02:26] <nickrud> CodemasterMM, don't tell me, when you did it verbose, it worked ;)
[02:26] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova, nickrud: I just touched the config file (/etc/samba/smb.conf) and it worked
[02:26] <simonlb> after lots of headaches, i finally got microphone input to work, but it's on a device i can't seem to access with every app
[02:26] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: good job, im gonna quit now
[02:26] <CodemasterMM> haha okay
 now if only i could find a good mmo game for linux
[02:27] <bottiger> I want to be able to write a "" by pressing ALT+w. how do I do that in my xmodmap-file?
[02:27] <thedash> how could I return all folders that contain a certain filetype, but each one not more than once ?
[02:27] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: yeah, like i said - if games or emulation worke well
[02:27] <simonlb> all the settings in alsamixer seem to be correct
[02:27] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: mainly, a DirectX emulation or a DLL-replacement that translated it into OpenGL
[02:27] <bmxmarine> CodemasterMM: you play any games?
[02:27] <simonlb> i'm not sure how to describe it, but the proper device to read seems to be "YMFPCI - AC'97 (hw:0,3)"
[02:28] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: yes, I just picked up Bioshock yesterday, even
[02:28] <simonlb> but that's only an option in some applications.  using YMFPCI doesn't work
[02:28] <bmxmarine> CodemasterMM: still trying to figure that out wine is sooo slow?
[02:28] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: could take a look at Cedega
[02:28] <CodemasterMM> iirc, their CVS is free
[02:28] <simonlb> output to /dev/dsp works fine, but input doesn't
[02:28] <simonlb> and i'm so very very confused
[02:29] <bmxmarine> CodemasterMM: i was getting like 60-70 fps in windows now in wine inm like 40
[02:29] <CodemasterMM> yup
[02:29] <CodemasterMM> try using Cedega, it's made for games
[02:29] <Badpenguin86> My friend gets access point invalid on his wireless when running iwconfig. Any helo?
[02:29] <Badpenguin86> help*
[02:30] <bmxmarine> CodemasterMM: i tried it along time ago but there has to be a way without paying for a service
[02:30] <Midnight_Abuse> Anyone program in C++?
[02:31] <Midnight_Abuse> Script :|
[02:31] <CodemasterMM> yes
[02:31] <CodemasterMM> Midnight_Abuse: what'cha need concerning C++
[02:31] <bmxmarine> CodemasterMM: there was another program , crossover or something like that
[02:31] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: yeah, the Cedega CVS is free, but the stable version isn't... it's weird
[02:31] <Midnight_Abuse> Haha right now nothing, Just wouldlike to see some of your work ;)
[02:31] <CodemasterMM> Midnight_Abuse: haha, well, i haven't coded in a while sadly.
[02:32] <sudobash> hey sorry im in a terminal so bare with me... Is there a fix for a very slow Grub loading window?... Ubuntu loads fine even VMware runs XP with no problem..... Hardware: P4 2.4, 512 m, 82865 vid., WD80 (WD800), 256 allocated to VM... The bios looks fine although i noticed it take 20 sec of waiting to even find the HD.... no lower than 20.... WTF? Should I use lilo or is there a fix for this?
[02:32] <bmxmarine> CodemasterMM: shit windows has got me lazy with my typing, its starting to come back tho
[02:32] <Midnight_Abuse> Aw.
[02:32] <Badpenguin86> My friend gets access point invalid on his wireless when running iwconfig. Any help?
[02:32] <sudobash> it take like 2-3 min to load grub
[02:32] <bmxmarine> CodemasterMM: where can i find the free one?
[02:32] <bottiger> CodemasterMM: still - didn't the lock down thier CVS a long time ago? because to many people just used it instead of paying?
[02:32] <nickrud> lol, interesting name, sudobash  (but I know nothing about your problem, sorry)
[02:33] <CodemasterMM> bottiger: not sure
[02:33] <sudobash> or is the problem in my HD?
[02:33] <sudobash> or bios....
[02:33] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO%20Cedega%20CVS
[02:33] <bottiger> CodemasterMM: I think so, and because distros like gentoo just made ebuilds for the CVS-version.
[02:33] <CodemasterMM> nice
[02:33] <bottiger> made it to easy for people to install
[02:33] <bmxmarine> bottiger: there is i can't remember where i fount it hto i think i just googled grub  configuring
[02:34] <CodemasterMM> bottiger: last time i checked at least it was free still
[02:34] <frankg> Cannot access the internet - I can ping the gateway but cannot ping internet IP - what next?
[02:34] <lurking> help: im trying to run a script off a cd but it appears everytime i mount it, its set to Read-only file system
[02:34] <bottiger> CodemasterMM: okey - It may be me who is outdated
[02:34] <bottiger> CodemasterMM: haven't used cedega for years
[02:34] <Midnight_Abuse> Hmm.
[02:34] <bmxmarine> CodemasterMM: i'll be back in a min im going to try it out
[02:34] <CodemasterMM> ok
[02:35] <sudobash> anyone know if there is a fix for a very slow grub loader?
[02:35] <alexbOrsova> hey does anyone here know if people can start their own channel?
[02:35] <bottiger> alexbOrsova: on irc? sure - just join an empty channel
[02:35] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: should be able to - just register it with chanserv
[02:35] <lurking> how do you mount a read-write cd? (trying to run a install script off a cd but its write-protected)
[02:36] <alexbOrsova> CodemasterMM: how do you do that?
[02:36] <bottiger> alexbOrsova: /msg chanserv help
[02:36] <CodemasterMM> alexbOrsova: join the channel you want first, then do a /msg chanserv help and he can help you do the rest :)
 shit there has to be a faster way?
[02:36] <CodemasterMM> well, 'it' rather, not 'he'
[02:36] <wicked> hey sorry im in a terminal so bare with me... Is there a fix for a very slow Grub loading window?... Ubuntu loads fine even VMware runs XP with no problem..... Hardware: P4 2.4, 512 m, 82865 vid., WD80 (WD800), 256 allocated to VM... The bios looks fine although i noticed it take 20 sec of waiting to even find the HD.... no lower than 20.... WTF? Should I use lilo or is there a fix for this?
 it think i might tinker with it more tomorrow
[02:36] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: there might be, but i haven't found one, nor have i installed it in a long time
[02:37] <dogmeat> is there an installer switch that causes resolution to be low?
[02:37] <dho_ragus> wicked: did you try re-instaling grub with `grub-install` ?
[02:37] <dogmeat> installs at 600x800?
 is that how you are running bioshock?
[02:37] <Deags> hi what is a good vnc server i can get that will go well with tightvnc on my linux machine that i can apt get
[02:37] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: oh, no, i haven't tried the game in linux yet :x
[02:37] <wicked> that wouldnt cause any trouble booting would it?
[02:37] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: i don't think any of my linux machines have the hardware for it
[02:38] <dho_ragus> wicked: not if you do it right
 yea that is the only thing making me miss windows
[02:38] <Badpenguin86> My friend gets access point invalid on his wireless when running iwconfig. Any help?
[02:38] <wicked> well i installed beryl and vmware on this machine
[02:38] <wicked> but the one im talking about is at my work
[02:38] <Skrypt> I need to build, make, and install wpa_supplicant without the internet on my computer (without access to the internet on that computer) Someone care to help?
[02:38] <bastid_raZor> pidgin people who use encryption.. anyone having run issues with it?
[02:38] <wicked> but it also has vmware on it
 mine is nothing great but good enough i think
[02:38] <alexbOrsova> bmxmarine: why do you miss windows? I was reading the nickserv help
[02:38] <bastid_raZor> CLI pidgin as user doesn't work.. only works if run as root
[02:39] <Deags> i am in search of a good vnc client that is easy to setup and secure i currently have tightvnc on my windows machine so would be great if it was compatable with that
[02:39] <wicked> LINUX running vmXP is the best way to not get a virus or adware and spyware
[02:39] <alexbOrsova> bmxmarine: so i missed it
 just because there are no mmo linux native games worth a damn
[02:39] <CodemasterMM> Deags: anything based on VNC can be compatible, from what i hav eseen
[02:39] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: rumor is that WoW will be native soon, but i hate that game
[02:39] <Deags> so whats a good one that i can apt get code that will be secure
[02:39] <wicked> is it very hard to change from grub to lilo?
[02:39] <CodemasterMM> Deags: well, i know xvncviewer is available
[02:40] <wicked> i know a good bit about ubuntu... decent amount
[02:40] <quaal> why is ubuntu failing to mount a cd/dvd when i put it in? http://pastebin.ca/667336
[02:40] <alexbOrsova> wicked: is it very hard to install lilo?
[02:40] <Deags> apt get xvncviewer?
[02:40] <wicked> well to change the config
[02:40] <bottiger> btw - is there any other difference on ubuntu desktop and server other than preinstalled packages?
[02:40] <wicked> configuration i expect
[02:40] <lurking> unable to run script off a write-protected cd
[02:40] <alexbOrsova> wicked: all you have to so is install lilo
[02:40] <alexbOrsova> !lilo
[02:40] <ubotu> lilo is an alternative [Li] nux Boot[Lo] ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead.
 yea me too but hey if only we could get better driver support from the manufactures the linux might grow imensly
[02:40] <CodemasterMM> yeah
[02:41] <wicked> sudo apt-get install lilo
[02:41] <wicked> but will it configure itself?
[02:41] <wicked> or easy atleast?
[02:41] <Deags> codemaster is it sudo apt-get xvncviewer ?
[02:41] <alexbOrsova> wicked: I don't know, I've never installed it. but i suspect you need to install it from a bootable cd
[02:41] <wicked> sudo apt-get install xvncviewer
[02:41] <ztomic> whats the scoop on envy? I can't get fglrx to work and using envy now... good idea?
[02:41] <dho_ragus> bottiger: i'm unaware of any other differences.
[02:41] <dho_ragus> bottiger: the repositories that are used are the same
[02:41] <alexbOrsova> wicked: google 'lilo install' and read the documentation on the lilo homepage
[02:42] <dho_ragus> wicked: i'd do `grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sda` or whatever before trying lilo.  just to give it a shot.
 i do like my ati crd tho with the new kernels i am able to utlize some of my new hardware
[02:42] <wicked> what about this... when you install vmware from synaptic it failed to configure 3 or 4 times before i manually configured it.....
[02:42] <ztomic> Is envy taboo here?
[02:42] <CodemasterMM> bmxmarine: yeah, both AMD/ATi and nVidia are making open source drivers soon
[02:42] <wicked> vmplayer i mean
[02:43] <Deags> it says i already have the newest version
[02:43] <Deags> how do i run the xvncviewer then
[02:43] <alexbOrsova> !vmware
[02:43] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[02:43] <wicked> gets stuck on looking for unused subnets... chaning dhcp configs and stuff....
[02:43] <bmxmarine> it will be sooooo nice the gaming in linux will definatly benifit
[02:43] <Johnuah> Can I burn Ubuntu into a DVD disk?
[02:43] <alexbOrsova> Johnua: yes, but you'll need a bootable DVD image
[02:43] <wicked> there is an ubuntu dvd torrent
[02:43] <wastrel> Deags:  vncviewer <vnc-server-address>
[02:44] <alexbOrsova> Johnua: wait, why would you want to do that?
[02:44] <wicked> its fast too
[02:44] <Deags> i want this computer to be a server
[02:44] <Deags> so what do i do then wastrel
[02:44] <wastrel> server i dunno
[02:44] <alexbOrsova> Johnua: it fits on a CD so why would you need a DVD?
[02:44] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova, My rom is very odd, it can not drive CD but only DVD
[02:44] <lurking> anyone help me with my "mounting" issue?
[02:44] <bmxmarine> i am still trying to figure out how to install *,run files......
[02:44] <dho_ragus> bmxmarine: `/bin/bash ./file.run`
[02:44] <alexbOrsova> Johnua: what? :S
[02:45] <wicked> are there any processes that can be eliminated to improve performance in ubuntu? and tweaks?
[02:45] <Deags> wicked how do i get the vnc server to work do u know?
[02:45] <ztomic> Deags: you also need the display... <vnc-address:0>
[02:45] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: maybe it has got something wrong
[02:45] <ztomic> Deags: you also need the display... <vnc-address:1>
[02:45] <Johnuah> Every CD can not be read by my rom
[02:45] <Skrypt> I need to build, make, and install wpa_supplicant without the internet on my computer (without access to the internet on that computer) Someone care to help?
[02:45] <Johnuah> But DVD is okay
[02:45] <wicked> download the tightvnc server script and exec it with: sudo sh "filename"
[02:45] <alexbOrsova> Johnua: I don't understand what you mean by 'cant drive the CD only DVD'
[02:45] <wicked> sudo sh
[02:45] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: yep
[02:45] <Deags> ztomic i have no idea what that means
[02:46] <Deags> how do i get that wicked
[02:46] <wicked> it should be a script
[02:46] <alexbOrsova> Johnua: do you have the correct drivers installed?
[02:46] <wicked> tightvnc.com or realvnc.com
[02:46] <bryan986> Anyone know what I can do If I cant remove a file because it says "Text file busy"? I can't figure out what is using it...
[02:46] <Deags> ehh
[02:46] <alexbOrsova> Johnua: are you on Linux right now or Windows?
[02:46] <wicked> tight is the best i believe
[02:46] <bmxmarine> dho_ragus: says i need to run as a su?
[02:46] <Deags> so just go there and not apt get it?
[02:46] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: I have burn 5 cds , they can be read by other computer
[02:46] <dho_ragus> bryan986: you can `sudo rm -f filename`
[02:46] <Johnuah> I'm in Win
[02:46] <Deags> shouldnt there be a way to apt-get tightvnc server?
[02:47] <wicked> or use synaptic to install it for you
[02:47] <bmxmarine> dho_ragus: im trying to install the new ati drivers
[02:47] <dho_ragus> bmxmarine: `sudo bash -c /path/filename.run`
[02:47] <bryan986> dho_ragus, still can't remove it that way
[02:47] <ztomic> Deags: #xvncviewer IP.AD.AD.XX:Displaynumber
[02:47] <Deags> i cant fight it on synaptic
[02:47] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, well then I guess your challenge is how to make a bootable DVD image
[02:47] <CodemasterMM> Deags: you can always do an aptitude search [package]  or apt-cache search [package] 
[02:47] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, apart from that I don't see what else you can do
[02:47] <dho_ragus> bryan986: ...you can't remove it with sudo rm -f ?  what do you get for `sudo whoami`?
[02:47] <Deags> ztomic i dont understand what that means ata ll
[02:47] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: you are right
[02:47] <ztomic> Deags: doode! do you know the IP?
[02:48] <Deags> lol code i have no idea what that is im like really new to this
[02:48] <Deags> the ip to what
[02:48] <Deags> the comp i wanna connect from?
[02:48] <ztomic> Deags: doode! to connect to.
[02:48] <bryan986> dho_ragus, I get root
[02:48] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: Can you give me a DVD iso link?
[02:48] <Deags> i wanna connect to this comp from my windows machine
[02:48] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, you see, that's the thing, I don't think there is a DVD image available
[02:48] <Skrypt> Can someone tell me how to follow these directions? lol http://www.stevens.edu/itwiki/cgi-bin/wiki/index.php?title=Linux_802.1x#Wired_802.1x_.28linux.29
[02:49] <ztomic> Deags: doode! you have no clue at all do you
[02:49] <ztomic> ?
[02:49] <Deags> no
[02:49] <Skrypt> I just need to know how to compile the wpa_supplicant and install it
[02:49] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, all DVD players canm also read CDs
[02:49] <Deags> i have never done any of this before on linux
[02:49] <alexbOrsova> *can
[02:49] <Deags> i have it working on my windows machines just fine
[02:49] <dho_ragus> bryan986: then you should be able to remove it.  if you can't, it might be a read-only filesystem.
[02:49] <boyam> alexbOrsova, you're right...cd's only
[02:49] <Deags> but no clue how or what to do on linux
[02:49] <Deags> thats why i am here
[02:49] <ztomic> Deags: I came in late. Lets make sure I know what you wanna do. What do you wanna do?
[02:49] <bryan986> dho_ragus, lol I just made the file earlier
[02:50] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, start asking around how to convert bootable CD image to bootable DVD image shouldn't bne that hard
[02:50] <alexbOrsova> *be
[02:50] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: I know that, but my DVD rom had ability to read CD days ago, but after intalling the ubuntu ,it can not
[02:50] <dho_ragus> bryan986: show me some of your terminal output in a pastebin
[02:50] <Deags> lol ok ztomic i am on this machine that has ubuntu on it and i wanna have a vnc server so i can connect to it from my windows machine
[02:50] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, wait so you already installed Ubuntu?
[02:50] <Deags> this is going to be a webserver and i dont wanna have to go on it everytime i wanna make a change
[02:50] <lastnode> guys, need some help. any pcmcia cards / brands that KNOWN to work with the kernel? (that have OSS drivers basically)
[02:50] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, so you can't read CDs from Ubuntu?
[02:50] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: while rom working ,the sound is not normal
[02:50] <ztomic> Deags: gnome?
[02:51] <Deags> i believe so yes
[02:51] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: I cannot
[02:51] <john_> i'm still trying to install WASTE (http://waste.sf.net/), but i can't seem to do it
[02:51] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, but you can from WIndows, right?
[02:51] <john_> the package comes with the source code, but when i unzip it and try doing things like "make" it doesn't work
[02:51] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: I also can't browse the CD in win xp
[02:51] <ztomic> Deags: system->prefs->remote desktop... simple! whats the problem?
[02:51] <Johnuah> but dvd is okay
[02:52] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, but you could do it before you installed Ubuntu?
[02:52] <bryan986> dho_ragus, http://pastebin.com/d1a9edd16
[02:52] <Deags> ty ztomic didnt know there was one packaged to it lemme try it out
[02:52] <alexbOrsova> so can someone here remind me the command for getting hel wth registering a channel?
[02:52] <Megaqwerty> Anyone know how I could pipe the results of a bunch of different programs into another? (i.e. echo "this" && echo "is" && echo "a" && echo "test" | zenity --text-info --title "Testbox" )
[02:52] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: yes, I could do it before installing ubuntu
[02:52] <alexbOrsova> like nickserv but for channels
[02:53] <Pici> alexbOrsova: /msg chanserv help
[02:53] <dho_ragus> bryan986: what's the full path?
[02:53] <Megaqwerty> alexbOrsova: just a guess, but talk to chanserv?
[02:53] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, well that's a pretty serious problem...
[02:53] <alexbOrsova> thanks Megaqwerty
[02:53] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: what's the problem really
[02:53] <dho_ragus> bryan986: also, do `sudo lsof | grep '/out'
[02:53] <Deags> looks as if everything is wokring just fine now ty
[02:53] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, it means that your hardware has been damaged
[02:53] <john_> i guess what i'm asking is: how do i compile the source?
[02:54] <sipalui> hello, I can not mount my floppy diskete
[02:54] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: oh no, r u sure
[02:54] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, i have to go eat, but tell someone else here your problem and everything you told me, they should help you
[02:54] <Megaqwerty> john_: make
[02:54] <Darkkish> how do I mount an iso file?
[02:54] <alexbOrsova> Johnua, no im not sure
[02:54] <Pici> !iso | Darkkish
[02:54] <ubotu> Darkkish: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[02:54] <|_ocke> ok so i installed the debian menu (apt-get install menu) and ive tried enabling it by rigth click on menu -> edit menus, check in the debian box
[02:54] <Johnuah> alexbOrsova: you have scared me
[02:54] <Darkkish> thanks
[02:54] <john_> Megaqwerty: 'make install' doesn't work :( i'm still new...
[02:54] <|_ocke> but it doesnt stay, no matter what i do and the menu never appears
[02:55] <Megaqwerty> john_: can you describe what you're trying to do?
[02:55] <john_> i'm trying to install WASTE (http://waste.sf.net/)
[02:55] <wastrel> waste eh
[02:55] <Megaqwerty> john_: give me a second to take a look.
[02:55] <john_> thanks
[02:55] <squarebottle> Hey, is there a way that I can make a program (namely Azureus) startup minimized, so that its icon is on the taskbar?
[02:55] <bryan986> dho_ragus, full path is /media/network/sharename/files/linux, no output from `sudo lsof | grep '/out'
[02:55] <wastrel> john_:  i suppose you have build-essential installed?
[02:56] <Johnuah> Qwerty, can I burn Ubuntu ISO into a DVD disk?
[02:56] <sipalui> every time i right click on the floppy, it say given UID is not a mountable volume
[02:56] <john_> wastrel: it was already checked in synaptic, so i guess that means it is...
[02:56] <dho_ragus> bryan986: can you `cat filename` on either of those files?  the network mount might have stalled
[02:56] <Megaqwerty> john_: which one are you trying to install?
[02:56] <john_> Megaqwerty: wxwaste_1.5_beta_4
[02:56] <dho_ragus> bryan986: actually do `head filename`, easier on the eyes and resources.
[02:56] <john_> the annoucement of its release on the sf page makes it sound like what i'd want.
[02:57] <Megaqwerty> john_: downloading it now...
[02:57] <bryan986> dho_ragus, I do get the beginning of the file from that
[02:57] <john_> Megaqwerty: thanks
[02:57] <sipalui> I'm newbie at this ubuntu thing, and I really need to read from the floppy disk
[02:57] <ztomic> Envy worked. sux that I have to rebuild the driver every time I install a new kernel.
[02:58] <pascla> http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/3054 help! what's wrong with it.
[02:58] <wastrel> what's envy?
[02:58] <dho_ragus> bryan986: oooh, you know... it could be in use by somebody on the other system.  you might have root privs on your local system, but not on the remote system.
[02:58] <ztomic> Deags: di you figger it out?
[02:58] <Deags> well kind of
[02:58] <dho_ragus> bryan986: you might have to delete it from the remote mount's OS
[02:58] <squarebottle> !envy
[02:58] <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!
[02:58] <Megaqwerty> john_: ./configure --prefix=/usr
[02:58] <ztomic> Deags: whats the problem?
[02:58] <Deags> its working but on my windows machine all i see is a picture of the screen that doesnt change
[02:58] <pascla> http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/3054 help! what's wrong with it.
[02:59] <john_> ok, let me try to do that
[02:59] <bryan986> dho_ragus, yes I could ssh into that box and delete it, but I kinda want to figure out why I cant now. I'm the only person who uses this share and I haven't started anything on the remote computer
[02:59] <ztomic> Deags: what do you mean?
[02:59] <john_> Megaqwerty: i assume i first have to cd my way to the unzipped dir?
[02:59] <dho_ragus> bryan986: my assumption is that you have not mounted the remote share with the remote system's root user, so you don't have proper permissions to remove the file.
[02:59] <Megaqwerty> john_: yep
[02:59] <Kousotu> can somene help me disable my touchpad?
[02:59] <dho_ragus> bryan986: i could be wrong, but that is a possible perfectly valid explanation.
[02:59] <ztomic> must be a virus
[03:00] <sipalui> I've read the help file, but it didn't work
[03:00] <john_> john@john-ubuntu:~/waste source$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
[03:00] <Deags> like lets say i open the applications menu i dont see that on my windows machine only onthe linux machine so i have to look at the linux screen and direct from the windows machine
[03:00] <john_> bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[03:00] <bryan986> dho_ragus, well the question then would be how I created a file with higher permissions than I have
[03:00] <sipalui> please anyone enlighten me
[03:00] <Megaqwerty>  !ksynaptics | Kousotu
[03:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ksynaptics - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:00] <Megaqwerty>  !info ksynaptics
[03:00] <ubotu> ksynaptics: Synaptics TouchPad configuration tool for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.1-2ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 209 kB, installed size 1012 kB (Only available for alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 ia64 m68k mips mipsel powerpc sparc)
[03:00] <Kousotu> it don't work
[03:00] <dho_ragus> bryan986: it's possible you didn't.  you could have created the file, then another process opened that file.  or you might have some weird permission on that dir like +t
[03:00] <Kousotu> I already tried that
[03:01] <ztomic> Deags: that's a whole other issue.
[03:01] <john_> Megaqwerty: it says ./configure: No such file or directory
[03:01] <ztomic> glad I could help though.
[03:01] <Megaqwerty> john_: your directory is messed up...there is a configure file in the one I downloaded
[03:01] <Megaqwerty> john_: http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/waste/wxwaste_1.5_beta_4.tar.gz
[03:01] <dho_ragus> bryan986: i'd do the `lsof` on the other system and see what's up
[03:01] <Megaqwerty> john_: is that the right one?
[03:01] <dho_ragus> bryan986: samba might still have that file open for something, or whatever network share daemon you're using.
[03:02] <Kousotu> Megaqwerty: [20:00:37]  ubotu : ksynaptics: Synaptics TouchPad configuration tool for KDE. *Uses Gnome*
[03:02] <bryan986> dho_ragus, it's in use on that machine by smbd
[03:03] <john_> Megaqwerty: yes
[03:03] <bryan986> dho_ragus, stupid samba!
[03:03] <Megaqwerty> Kousotu: It will still run on GNOME
[03:03] <bryan986> dho_ragus, guess I have to compile this piece of junk on my local hard drive
[03:03] <Megaqwerty> Kousotu: just will run faster on KDE
[03:03] <dho_ragus> bryan986: if its speed you're looking for, check out distcc
[03:04] <Kousotu> Megaqwerty: I tried the gsyn... but it says it won't work
[03:04] <KI4IKL> To install ubuntu on the laptop, or not to install ubuntu ont he laptop.
[03:04] <Megaqwerty> Kousotu: dunno...ask someone else. I just remembered that Ksynaptics dealt with touchpad stuff
[03:04] <john_> Megaqwerty: nevermind. i deleted my download and tried the one in the link you sent. this time something happened...
[03:04] <Megaqwerty> john_: okay, good
[03:05] <t0nedef> KI4IKL check your wireless card first, then think hard, everything else seems to go just fine, at least in my experience
[03:05] <Kousotu> Megaqwerty: can it be disabled the "manual" way?
[03:05] <bryan986> dho_ragus, nah, I didn't even get to the make part, I was just trying to configure and it created those files that cant be removed
[03:05] <dho_ragus> ah
[03:05] <Megaqwerty> Kousotu: sure...I think you can comment out the section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:05] <b_9> I need help with compiz fusion...  Nvidia 7950gtx ubuntu 7.04 laptop...   I don't get window handles....  I've tried some sudo command someone gave me
[03:05] <dho_ragus> that is odd that smbd would keep those open though.
[03:05] <lastnode> !wireless
[03:05] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:06] <southafrikanse> hello. How can I get multiple wallpapers on Ubuntu with Compiz-Fusion?
[03:06] <Kousotu> Megaqwerty: I did that to. lol infac, I got pissed of and deleted the section. it STIL works!!
[03:07] <Skrypt> Can someone tell me how to follow these directions? lol http://www.stevens.edu/itwiki/cgi-bin/wiki/index.php?title=Linux_802.1x#Wired_802.1x_.28linux.29
[03:07] <Skrypt> I just need to know how to compile the wpa_supplicant and install it
[03:07] <Megaqwerty> Kousotu: are you sure it isn't still there? and if so, have you restarted X afterwards?
[03:07] <Kousotu> Megaqwerty: yes, several times
[03:07] <Megaqwerty> Kousotu: hmm...give me a second.
[03:07] <t0nedef> Skrypt what version of ubuntu you using?
[03:07] <Kousotu> Megaqwerty: and I'm guite sure it'sgone
[03:08] <Kousotu> Megaqwerty: will do
[03:08] <nickrud> Kousotu, you trying to use gsynaptic?
[03:08] <bryan986> dho_ragus, thanks for the help, at least I know it is samba messing it up. I dont really want to fool with it more than that so I will just delete em remotely
[03:08] <mattasdffda> jackets:
[03:08] <Kousotu> nickrud: I did, it doesn't work
[03:08] <mattasdffda> jackets:
[03:08] <dho_ragus> brynk: no problemo.  try sshfs next time, it's a little more friendly.
[03:08] <dho_ragus> oops
[03:08] <dho_ragus> wrong person
[03:09] <Kousotu> nickrud: I would rather have it blacklisted
[03:09] <dho_ragus> bryan986: that sshfs comment was (obviously) for you
[03:09] <nickrud> Kousotu, you need to add  Option          "SHMConfig"     "true" to the synapics stanza in xorg.conf and restart
[03:09] <bryan986> dho_ragus, thanks I'll have to look at that sometime
[03:09] <Kousotu> nickrud: so It wil not load at all, and I wo't have to deal with it
[03:09] <Megaqwerty> Kousotu: have a look at this: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/24/disable-synaptics-touchpad/
[03:09] <Kousotu> nickrud: one roblem with that.. I deleted the entire section recognising the tuchpad
[03:10] <ztomic> So Envy installs the proprietary ATI driver? What is the difference between it and fglrx?
[03:10] <nathan___> anyone know why I get the error while trying to run Kompozer on Ubuntu 64-bit and how to fix it?  error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[03:10] <nickrud> Kousotu, rebuild it :) and to turn off the pad, use   Option "TouchpadOff"  "1"
[03:10] <tonyyarusso> nathan___: I think version 0.7.7 had a 64-bit build bug.
[03:11] <Kousotu> nickrud: can't it just be blacklisted?
[03:11] <nathan___> that is 7.7
[03:11] <dho_ragus> bryan986: yeah, definitely check it out.  it works as easy as `sshfs user@hostname:~/remotedir ./mountpoint`
[03:11] <dho_ragus> then you can browse "remotedir" as if it were the folder "mountpoint" on your local box
[03:11] <nathan___> I downloaded the i686 binary, is that wrong one? here's the site: http://kompozer.net/
[03:12] <nickrud> Kousotu, possibly, but those are the methods I learned
[03:12] <Masticore> Is there a special format for the skydome image?
[03:12] <Masticore> Its just turning grey over here
[03:12] <dho_ragus> bryan986: the down-side is that everything is encrypted, so bulk transfers over fast networks will be pretty slow.
[03:12] <tonyyarusso> nathan___: Unless you're running it in a 32-bit chroot, yes, that's the wrong one.  You'd have to build your own, quite likely (or wait a few days - may have something for you soon)
[03:13] <bryan986> dho_ragus, and then I would be able to get rid of samba...
[03:13] <bryan986> err
[03:13] <bryan986> i still need it for windows
[03:13] <Kousotu> tonyyarusso: how would I go about backlisting my touchpad?
[03:13] <tonyyarusso> Kousotu: not sure if what I said before didn't work
[03:13] <nathan___> I am just gonna go back to 32bit I think... I don't have any reason to be on 64-bit anyways
[03:13] <bryan986> dho_ragus, though I'm sure there is some software to mount a drive over ssh
[03:13] <Kousotu> tonyyarusso: darn...
[03:13] <nickrud> Kousotu, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34733/
[03:13] <dho_ragus> bryan986: i've actually been looking for something and can't find anything, but the next best thing is winscp
[03:14] <nickrud> !find  libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 | nathan__
[03:14] <nathan___> do what now
[03:14] <ubotu> nathan__: File libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 found in libgtk2.0-0, vmware-player
[03:15] <nickrud> nathan__, yes, you're right, the i686 one won't work on 64 bit
[03:15] <drpressure> quick question: if i use a passphrase to protect my gpg/ssh private keys... what algorithm does it use, is it AES?
[03:16] <nathan___> does that mean i should apt-get that libgtk2.0-0 ?
[03:16] <dho_ragus> wow, i didn't know ubotu could find.
[03:16] <nickrud> nathan__, no, you should look for a 64bit kompozer
[03:16] <dho_ragus> !find id_rsa.pub
[03:16] <ubotu> Package/file id_rsa.pub does not exist in feisty
[03:16] <nickrud> nathan__, I did that find before I saw your second post about your architecture
[03:17] <mattasdffda> jackets:
[03:18] <xubo> HELLO
[03:18] <bmxmarine> wow i am bored
[03:18] <bmxmarine> xubo: whats up?

[03:53] <z1ng3r> rG0d: Sorry, dood.  You've got me there.  I know about --->||<--- this much about compiz.
[03:53] <vip3rousmango> Erythro: i've never gotten any errors with wine before... i was installing guild wars and everything froze on me so i restarded kde and this is what happends
[03:53] <rG0d> z1ng3r,  see MY dekstop Pic http://85.15.13.113/compiz.png
[03:53] <z1ng3r> ezra1964: Just ask it.
[03:54] <ezra1964> I see scripts in /etc/cron.daily, but roots crontab is empty, anyone know how those scripts are getting run?
[03:54] <Erythro> vip3rousmango: you are running winecfg from terminal?
[03:54] <ari_stress> morning
[03:54] <cellofellow> ezra1964: those are for anacron.
[03:54] <vip3rousmango> Erythro: yeah
[03:54] <rG0d> i have problem with compiz need help
[03:54] <rG0d> i have problem with compiz need help
[03:55] <z1ng3r> rG0d: You're missing the window handles and control buttons?
[03:55] <cellofellow> ezra1964: they aren't in the normal cron that sets things to run at an exact time(s), but instead are set to run once a day. Same with cron.hourly and cron.weekly and cron.monthly.
[03:55] <ezra1964> anacron, that would explain why there is no cron service
[03:55] <ari_stress> rG0d: compiz si blown out temporarily
[03:55] <rG0d> z1ng3r,  yeah yeah
[03:55] <Erythro> vip3rousmango: hmm im getting that error too but winecfg runs anyway...
[03:55] <rG0d> z1ng3r,  yeah yeah
[03:55] <z1ng3r> Try changing your window manager.  The one you are using may not be compatible with compiz.
[03:56] <ezra1964> thank you !
[03:56] <t0nedef> damn, i just found his answer, and he quits
[03:56] <rG0d> z1ng3r,  how i can change it?
[03:56] <vip3rousmango> Erythro: well winecfg doesnt run when i type it in.. i get 6 lines of error output after the ALSA one, also wine uninstaller won't uninstall apps while it was working, now it won't even run.. it just gives the same error output as winecfg
[03:56] <z1ng3r> rG0d: I'm not a kde guy, so I'm not surewhich one you'd use.  It'd probably be in the kdecontrol or wtf the control panel is.
[03:56] <Erythro> vip3rousmango: what are the other 6 lines?
[03:56] <t0nedef> oh well, gonna switch over to my other system, brb everyone
[03:56] <vip3rousmango> Erythro: do you want me to pastebin?
[03:57] <rG0d> tnx z1ng3r
[03:57] <Erythro> sure

[03:58] <vip3rousmango> Erythro: ok here you go: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34736/
[03:58] <IrishDave> hey guys, is there anyone in here with much experience of ssh? I have a system in work that I can ssh remote log in to and I want to try and log in and set something to run and continue to run when I log off the ssh session?
[03:58] <galpa> #ubuntu-es
[03:58] <z1ng3r> rG0d: google "beryl kde" and click on the second link from the top.
[03:58] <DocPheniX> a linux swap is an extended partition correct?
[03:59] <cellofellow> IrishDave: use screen
[03:59] <DSpair> Hmmm . . . In this channel, the squeaky wheel doesn't always get oil.
[03:59] <DSpair> DocPheniX: Not necessarily. It can be any type of partition as long as it has the code of 0x82.
[03:59] <cellofellow> IrishDave: once you log in, run `screen` and if the connection is broken, or you detach the screen session, the app in the screen terminal will keep running.
[03:59] <t0nedef> ok, i'm back
[03:59] <ari_stress> DocPheniX: not necessarily
[04:00] <DSpair> Or is it 0x83?
[04:00] <IrishDave> cellofellow: how can i then return to that program?
[04:00] <DSpair> No, it's 82.
[04:00] <Erythro> vip3rousmango: are you using the latest wine?
[04:00] <cellofellow> IrishDave: use screen -r to reattach the session.
[04:00] <vip3rousmango> Erythro: yup
[04:00] <cellofellow> IrishDave: the manpage has ooodles of information.
[04:01] <IrishDave> cellofellow: ill jus try it out now :) i didnt check the manpage, didnt think really, spent all night reading wiki pages trying to get wireless working on gf's laptop wasnt in mood to do it again :)
[04:01] <rG0d> z1ng3r, tnx
[04:01] <ari_stress> IrishDave: you need a break
[04:01] <rG0d> brb
[04:02] <cellofellow> IrishDave: to detach the screen the command is C-a d. There, you have all the info you need.
[04:02] <desudesu> need help on getting 1366x768 resolution on ubuntu feisty , i already tried editing the xorg file but it wont show up on the screen resolution  app
[04:02] <DocPheniX> got it
[04:02] <DocPheniX> nvm
[04:02] <varitech-vfx> exit
[04:02] <DocPheniX> :P
[04:02] <IrishDave> ari_stress: thanks, im not too bad, jus want to get a simulation running on a pc in work so i can have results in morning
[04:03] <cellofellow> sounds good. You could have also set up cron, and if you've a working MTA the output would have been emailed to you.
[04:03] <anandanbu> In My Ubuntu 7.04 machine i am not abel to open the website http://meetings-archive.debian.net/ using firefox what could be the problem
[04:04] <cellofellow> what error, anandanbu?
[04:04] <MonkeyFit> anybody run into problems with Ubuntu booting, but not actually showing anything on the screen, not even a loading animation?
[04:04] <DocPheniX> another quick question, is xfs directly bootable by linux?
[04:04] <DSpair> DocPheniX: Yes.
[04:04] <DocPheniX> ty
[04:04] <anandanbu> cellofellow: the website doesn't open for me today as it was fine yesterday
[04:04] <vip3rousmango> Ok what does this error mean? X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
[04:04] <IrishDave> thanks cellofellow! It's working perfectly :)
[04:04] <mrigns> my recycle bin in the gnome panel shows the empty-icon after relogging or restarting X, the same goes for some other apps using dbus, rebooting helps, restarting dbus doesn't
[04:04] <cellofellow> anandanbu: what error does Firefox give you? Timed Out? Not found?
[04:04] <ari_stress> DocPheniX: don't use xfs for big files (such as movies) though. it slows as a turtle
[04:05] <cellofellow> IrishDave: you are welcome.
[04:05] <t0nedef> anandanbu: server may be down, i tried, and i'm getting timeouts
[04:05] <cellofellow> that would do it
[04:05] <anandanbu> callofellow: there is no error but the website is loading and loading
[04:05] <DocPheniX> what file system would you guys reccomend?
[04:05] <MonkeyFit> ntfs :P
[04:05] <vip3rousmango> haha
[04:06] <DocPheniX> LOL?
[04:06] <cellofellow> anandanbu: you wait for a minute or two it will give a timed out error.
[04:06] <Kousotu> DocPheniX: linux automaticaly makes ext3
[04:06] <the_hatter> can ubuntu resize ntfs partitions?
[04:06] <ari_stress> DocPheniX: ext3, reiserfs for small files, but since hans is in jail, no good
[04:06] <cellofellow> DocPheniX: I just use ext3.
[04:06] <cellofellow> the_hatter: yes
[04:06] <MonkeyFit> what are you using the file system for?
[04:06] <Kousotu> the_hatter: yes
[04:06] <Erythro> vip3rousmango: did you change any funky settings in winecfg before?
[04:06] <anandanbu> cellofellow: ok what may be the problem
[04:06] <cellofellow> !ntfs | the_hatter
[04:06] <ubotu> the_hatter: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[04:06] <the_hatter> fantastic, thanks
[04:06] <vip3rousmango> Erythro: funky settings? no. only turning windows emulatuion from on to off...
[04:06] <Kousotu> cellofellow: he didn't ask that
[04:07] <cellofellow> I noticed the factiod didn't have what he wanted.
[04:07] <Kousotu> lol
[04:07] <cellofellow> I thought it had something about it though.
[04:07] <t0nedef> anadanbu: yes, i can't ping it, server def down
[04:07] <Kousotu> cellofellow: np, that's wh I just answered right out lol
[04:07] <Erythro> vip3rousmango: you could try to rename your .wine folder to something else and run winecfg.. this should create a fresh .wine folder
[04:07] <WheelDweller> Any LDAP mavens here?  I have one that works, I just need some tuning.  Feisty's different from Dapper...
[04:07] <vip3rousmango> ahh genious
[04:08] <tego> my movie playe gave me black screen only with movies and i get install all file for make it play ?  thats happen i think when i make the firest complete update\
[04:08] <mrigns> my recycle bin in the gnome panel shows the empty-icon after relogging or restarting X, the same goes for some other apps using dbus, rebooting helps, restarting dbus doesn't
[04:08] <anandanbu> cellofellow: it gave me a timedout error
[04:08] <cellofellow> anandanbu: now we know it's them not you.
[04:09] <Erythro> vip3rousmango: keep in mind that anything you installed in the fake c drive is in the old .wine folder
[04:09] <anandanbu> cellofellow: yeah thansk for the info
[04:09] <vip3rousmango> Erythro: ok, that worked.. now what? I just copy the files back over into the new wine folder?
[04:09] <lightcap> how is it possible to get a "No such file or directory" from bash when trying to execute a file I know full well *is* there...
[04:09] <Erythro> well, if you installed anything that messed with the registry that wont be enough to run them
[04:10] <lightcap> lol
[04:10] <cellofellow> lightcap: are you tryint to run it like ./thefile or just thefile?
[04:10] <lightcap> no like ./thefile
[04:10] <Jack_Sparrow> lightcap: or syntax.. typo...
[04:10] <lightcap> well either way frankly it doesnt work
[04:10] <cellofellow> lightcap: is it executable?
[04:10] <lightcap> it's the eclipse 3.3 executable
[04:10] <t0th_-> :(
[04:10] <lightcap> wierdest thing...
[04:10] <cellofellow> lightcap: is the permissions set to executable?
[04:11] <lightcap> I can call ls on the file, I can call file on the file...
[04:11] <lightcap> yeah it is...
[04:11] <phpusmo> can someone help me compile icecast..it's my first time
[04:11] <lightcap> even if it weren't that's not the error you'd get if the perms were wrong
[04:11] <cellofellow> lightcap: what sort of file is it?
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !compile > phpusmo
[04:11] <lightcap> eclipse: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> anyone know how i would go about disabling my touchpad on my laptop, i prefer my mouse.
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> IndyGunFreak: my dells and hp have a button at the top of the pad that disables them
[04:12] <cellofellow> IndyGunFreak: removing it from xorg.conf should work.
[04:12] <loquitus_of_borg> How would I get a list of all the files in a directory (or its subdirectories) that have ".MM.DD_" in the filename, where MM is the current month (from 01 to 12) and DD is the current day (01 to 31)?
[04:12] <lightcap> it's a 64-bit system but that shouldn't matter either, eh?
[04:12] <cellofellow> lightcap: actually, yes
[04:12] <cellofellow> still doesn't make the errors make sense.
[04:13] <lightcap> cellofellow: right, well I mean for this issue
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Jack_Sparrow: hm, don't have that.. cellofellow  thats an idea i hadn't thought of.
[04:13] <tego> what about movie player is anyone know?
[04:13] <cellofellow> tego: which app?
[04:13] <Pelo> loquitus_of_borg,  gui ?   menu > places > search,   you can add several parameters
[04:13] <tego> app ?
[04:13] <Jack_Sparrow> IndyGunFreak: I kept bumping that button and could not figure out why the pad wouldnt work
[04:13] <Pelo> filters
[04:13] <madman91> tego: if you are looking for an application to watch movies.. use vlc or mplayer
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Jack_Sparrow: lol
[04:14] <cellofellow> tego: Totem, MPlayer, Xine, VLC?
[04:14] <tego> i just install my ubuntu  and  install the 3 codecs
[04:14] <cellofellow> so, Totem
[04:14] <ari_stress> hi guys, can i install feisty 64bit on 32bit notebook?
[04:14] <cellofellow> tego: I recommend MPlayer. MPlayer and VLC available together will play absolutely anthing.
[04:14] <Pelo> ari_stress, no
[04:14] <tego> it play  but when i make the complete update for the friest time gave me black sccreen
[04:14] <Jack_Sparrow> ari_stress: no
[04:14] <ari_stress> hmm :(
[04:14] <cellofellow> ari_stress: no, but you can the other way around.
[04:14] <wastrel> ari_stress:  1.  no.   2. why?
[04:15] <tego> normal movie player \
[04:15] <Pelo> tego,  go in synaptic,  search for gstreamer,  install all the gstreamer 10 packages
[04:15] <ari_stress> wastrel: i need to test building ltsp client environment for 32bit on 64bit feisty
[04:15] <cellofellow> tego: no such thing.
[04:15] <tego> thanks pelo
[04:15] <defendguin> 
[04:15] <wastrel> 64
[04:15] <Pelo> ari_stress, you can install 32 on a 64 bit machine but not he other way around
[04:15] <erika14212> is it possiblr to check status on ubuntu cd;s
[04:16] <Pelo> erika14212,  status of what ?
[04:16] <cellofellow> ari_stress: umm, you still need a 64bit CPU.
[04:16] <Jack_Sparrow> erika14212: From shipit.. the free ones?  dont think so
[04:16] <cellofellow> ari_stress: even virtualization won't help. Emulation will but that is really really really slow.
[04:16] <MonkeyFit> which drivers *should* give me at least very basic functionality with a 8800GTX?
[04:17] <MonkeyFit> i'm not even looking for 3d at all
[04:17] <MonkeyFit> just something to display the gui
[04:17] <piratepenguin> why doesnt the ubuntu packages provide git-config etc?
[04:17] <Pelo> MonkeyFit,  did you try   menu > system > admin > restricted drivers ?
[04:17] <MonkeyFit> well, i need to get to the gui first
[04:17] <Jordan_U> MonkeyFit, VESA should give you a GUI
[04:17] <Jack_Sparrow> MonkeyFit: The vesa should work on anything at 1024x768
[04:17] <ari_stress> thanks cellofellow, i guess i need to install feisty 64bit on a real 64bit machine.
[04:17] <Pelo> MonkeyFit, trying to run the live cd ?
[04:17] <MonkeyFit> it's like it boots to it, but doesn't actually send a signal to my screen, it's weird
[04:18] <MonkeyFit> and the same thing happened with the live cd, had to text install with the alternate cd
[04:18] <Jack_Sparrow> MonkeyFit: did livecd boot to a gui then you did the install
[04:18] <cellofellow> ari_stress: the 64bit architecture is different than the 32bit. You wouldn't try to install the PowerPC (Mac) edition on an Intel PC would you?
[04:19] <t0th_-> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34737/
[04:19] <Pelo> t0th_-,  what is that ?
[04:19] <Jack_Sparrow> MonkeyFit: can you get to a terminal, using escape on boot the get recovery mode etc
[04:19] <ari_stress> cellofellow: no, of course not :D
[04:19] <t0th_-> my Xorg.0.log
[04:19] <erika14212> ill go do another request
[04:19] <erika14212> on ubuntu shipit
[04:19] <MonkeyFit> i can get to recovery mode
[04:19] <Jack_Sparrow> erika14212: IT may not take it if it is to the same address
[04:19] <Pelo> t0th_-,  it would help if you wrote the nick of the person you are pasting the link for
[04:19] <MonkeyFit> but anything graphical doesn't seem to get sent to the monitor
[04:20] <cellofellow> ari_stress: now, since the 64bit is an extension of the 32bit, it is possible to run 32bit code on 64bit processors.
[04:20] <Jack_Sparrow> MonkeyFit: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:20] <t0th_-> :(
[04:20] <cellofellow> ari_stress: like you can fit a small peg in a big whole, but not a big peg in a small whole.
[04:20] <Pelo> t0th_-,  is anyone helping you ?
[04:20] <MonkeyFit> I'll try repackage, then vesa if that doesn't work
[04:20] <rompstar> hi
[04:20] <Jack_Sparrow> MonkeyFit: Pick vesa as the driver and a res of 1024 and it should let you in to the gui
[04:20] <Pelo> hello rompstar
[04:20] <t0th_-> no
[04:20] <MonkeyFit> ok, brb to let everyone know how it went
[04:20] <rompstar> i don't think Gd was included with PHP, how do I check and if need to change that to include Gd ?

[04:41] <stark_> Hello everyone, could anybody help me with my problem?  I'm dual-booting Vista and Ubuntu (Feisty), with feisty on an external USB hard drive that is set first in the boot order, so apparently it shows up as hd0.  I can't seem to get Vista to boot.  Any help would be appreciated.
[04:41] <Jack_Sparrow> MonkeyFit: Any change might tell us something
[04:41] <MonkeyFit> Jak: instead of sending a continuous black screen to my monitor, it stopped sending one altogether, so my monitor went into power saving mode
[04:41] <yurimxpxman> what's the memory device name?
[04:42] <Jordan_U> stark_, Does Vista boot when you don't have the external drive in?
[04:42] <stark_> Yes
[04:42] <stark_> I'm trying to get it to boot in GRUB

[04:43] <n00dl3> MonkeyFit: Thats scary

[04:46] <BotLobsta> has anyone else noticed that the splash screen progress bar on startup doesnt work?
[04:46] <zyth> wweasel, correct

[04:46] <stark_> Yes, GRUB didn't autodetect it for whatever reason
[04:47] <yurimxpxman> Jordan_U: it's not in there. The largest file in /tmp is a 1MB ethereal dump :/
[04:47] <Pelo> stark_, ok ,  is vista on the first partition of the hdd ?
[04:48] <stark_> To be totally honest, I'm not 100% sure, since it came preconfigured with Norton Ghost and a bunch of other crap.  It shows up as "sda3", if that helps
[04:48] <Pelo> stark ok I will tell you what to edit,  do not correct me ,
[04:48] <MonkeyFit> Jack_Sparrow: splash wasn't specified in grub, but I deleted quiet, same thing
[04:48] <Ashfire908> BotLobsta: you mean it's really jerky?
[04:49] <MonkeyFit> as soon as it leaves grub, it sends black to the screen, then stops sending a signal at all
[04:49] <BotLobsta> Ashfire908, no i mean like it doesnt show any progress but progress is being made
[04:49] <Pelo> stark_,  comment out the rootnoverify line ,  edit map (hd0) (hd1)   , edit  map (hd1) (hd0) , add root (hd1,2) , add savedefault ,   save and try

[04:51] <zyth> wweasel, sure, whats up?
[04:51] <Pelo> stark_,   the root and savedefault lines come before makeactive , btw
[04:51] <_rFu_> So i have a weird problem. I had my brother install Ubuntu on his computer. Through messing with settings he changed his home directory from /home/user to /root
[04:51] <_rFu_> From command line how would he change it back?
[04:51] <wweasel> zyth: I want to backport xbacklight so that I can control my finnicky new laptop's backlight settings (it's the recommended way).
[04:51] <wweasel> zyth: xbacklight depends on xrandr => 1.2.0
[04:51] <Pelo> stark_,  actualy,  baste the final before leaving so I can check
[04:52] <stark_> Oh, yeah, I got that, but thanks for double-checking!
[04:52] <stark_> Ok
[04:52] <Gaming1> Can someone tell me how to install realplayer?
[04:52] <zyth> wweasel, and xrandr 1.2.0 isnt in feisty? then you'll have to backport the xrandr first ;)
[04:52] <Pelo> Gaming1,  where do you get stuck ?
[04:52] <stark_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34745/plain/
[04:52] <Gaming1> Pelo: As you told I ran the chmod command...
[04:52] <Pelo> stark_,  move the root line after the map lines
[04:52] <Ashfire908> gutsy? that's the testing version. join #ubuntu+1 i've only used 6.04 LTS, 6.10 and 7.04
[04:52] <MonkeyFit> Jack: ok, let me see if I can somehow extract it as i'm in windows at the moment
[04:53] <wweasel> zyth: I realized that, so i uninstalled xbacklight, backported xrandr 1.2.0, then backported xbacklight again - I figured that should work
[04:53] <Ashfire908> BotLobsta: gutsy? that's the testing version. join #ubuntu+1 i've only used 6.04 LTS, 6.10 and 7.04
[04:53] <Pelo> Gaming1,  sudo chmod 777 filename.bin  whre filename is the name fo the file
[04:53] <stark_> Pelo: Ok, I did that, anything else?
[04:53] <zyth> wweasel, yeah, I expect so
[04:53] <wweasel> zyth: It still tells me that "RandR version 1.1 too old"
[04:53] <Pelo> stark_,  aside from that it looks ok
[04:53] <Gaming1> Pelo: I did that, After that....
[04:53] <BotLobsta> Ashfire908, yea i asked there too but idk if this problem is a part of gutsy or something more general
[04:53] <zyth> wweasel, did you install the new xrandr deb?
[04:53] <stark_> Pelo: Ok, thanks, I'm going to reboot now
[04:53] <wweasel> zyth: yes
[04:53] <Pelo> Gaming1,   sudo ./finename.bin    notice the dot before the /
[04:54] <zyth> wweasel, in /var/cache/prevu ?
[04:54] <Gaming1> Pelo: I finished that too...
[04:54] <Pelo> Gaming1,  and ?
[04:54] <Gaming1> Pelo: It asked me for a destination drive, which I specified...
[04:54] <Gaming1> Pelo: and I am stuck after that....
[04:54] <Pelo> Gaming1,  should have been someitng like /home/username/.realplayer
[04:55] <Pelo> Gaming1,  what is it asking you ?
[04:55] <Ashfire908> BotLobsta, i've only see problems with non-testing versions when a livecd was used, and it sometimes was 'messy' (it didn't get drawn cleanly and had junk around the bar)
[04:55] <wweasel> zyth: exactly
[04:55] <Gaming1> Pelo: I gave it /home/syed/Realplayer...
[04:55] <Gaming1> Pelo: How to run it is bugging me....
[04:55] <Pelo> Gaming1,  that will work to
[04:55] <zyth> wweasel, and its saying the old one is still installed? Ehhh?
[04:55] <wweasel> zyth: is it possible that the build environment it is building against is still xrandr 1.1?
[04:55] <Ashfire908> BotLobsta: if you have 7.04, try that
[04:55] <Pelo> Gaming1,  there should be a menu item in sound/video
[04:55] <zyth> wweasel, pastebin the error please?
[04:56] <BotLobsta> Ashfire908, hmm ok thanks.  if i were to file a bug what package would that be under?
[04:56] <Gaming1> Pelo: Nope...
[04:56] <Ashfire908> 7.10
[04:56] <Pelo> Gaming1,  make one ,  the command is  realplay
[04:56] <Ashfire908> BotLobsta: oh, package? one sec
[04:56] <wweasel> zyth: The error is as follows: "RandR version 1.1 too old" - no more info given
[04:56] <Gaming1> Pelo: Command not found....
[04:56] <Drod> I noticed a process called "wxvlc" is now using 930MB of my RAM, the only thing open I have is a terminal windows....can I safely kill that process?
[04:57] <zyth> wweasel, yes, but I want to see the context
[04:57] <Pelo> Gaming1, make sure you type it correctly  no caps    realplay
[04:57] <zyth> on
[04:57] <Gaming1> Pelo: nothing....same error
[04:57] <wweasel> zyth: Alright, what would you like me to pastebin? When I pass the command "xbacklight" that is the only text returned
[04:58] <zyth> wweasel, you did update your sources.list to have the deb-src for feisty be main restricted universe multiverse ?
[04:58] <Pelo> Gaming1,  try installing again , there is nothing more to it then what we have done
[04:58] <zyth> then apt-get update
[04:58] <zyth> ?
[04:58] <zyth> er for gutsy
[04:58] <wweasel> zyth: for gutsy? yes
[04:58] <wweasel> zyth: and apt-get updated
[04:58] <Ashfire908> BotLobsta: i think usplash-theme-ubuntu
[04:58] <Gaming1> Pelo: Ok...
[04:58] <zyth> wweasel, it has all of them? univ-multiverse, etc? k
[04:58] <wweasel> zyth: and I did successfully backport xrandr 1.2.0 (man xrandr tells me about the new 1.2.0 options)
[04:58] <wweasel> zyth: yeah
[04:58] <zyth> ahhh
[04:58] <wweasel> zyth: Confusing, I know :)
[04:58] <zyth> Hm.
[04:59] <zyth> very
[04:59] <Pelo> Gaming1,  not much more I can do I'm afraid
[04:59] <dougie> I set my resolution to 1680x1050 but my monitor is detecting it as 1736x1050 and its not filling in the whole screen
[04:59] <Kypi> Hello
[05:00] <BotLobsta> Ashfire908, ok thanks
[05:00] <Pelo> dougie, are you sure you have the correct resolution ?
[05:00] <MonkeyFit> Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34746/
[05:00] <Gaming1> Pelo: Anyway, thanks....
[05:00] <zyth> wweasel, I am thinking.  Try removing it all and rebuilding?
[05:00] <Pelo> later folks
[05:00] <wweasel> zyth: Is it possible that despite the fact that I backported xrandr to my computer, the prevu build environment does not have the new xrandr i backported?
[05:00] <dougie> Pelo, yes I'm using a 22" LCD that supports 1680x1050 @ 60hz I setup xorg.conf manually and the OS is saying its at 1680x1050
[05:00] <zyth> wweasel, possible, trying running prevu-init again?
[05:01] <wweasel> zyth: good idea
[05:01] <dougie> ok he left......nice
[05:02] <dougie> crdlb, Think you can help me with a resolution problem :B lol
[05:02] <lightcap> crazy, the problem was that it was a 32-bit executable and not a 64-bit
[05:02] <wweasel> zyth: Ok, this is even more problematic and confusing than i thought
[05:02] <lightcap> what an odd error message to return in that case
[05:02] <aspasia> quit
[05:02] <zyth> wweasel, yeah, I don't get it.  Mesa 7.01 went for me just fine
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> MonkeyFit: that looks like it should work...  does the monitor give out of range or anything like that?
[05:03] <stark_> Pelo: Thanks for the help, it worked perfectly
[05:03] <wweasel> zyth: While prevu-init took its very long time, I decided "why not just download the source for xbacklight, now that I've backported xrandr...it should build from source." So I did. And it gives the same error: version 1.1 too old
[05:04] <zyth> Hm
[05:04] <zyth> sounds like something didnt remove properly when you did apt-get remove xrandr
[05:04] <zyth> for the 1.1 version
[05:04] <Gaming1> Pelo: Would you mind reading the code for the realplay file, I think I have to install some type of script....
[05:04] <wweasel> zyth: I didn't - I backported the new one then did apt-get upgrade
[05:04] <zyth> Ohh
[05:05] <zyth> try removing it entirely
[05:05] <zyth> then install the 1.2
[05:05] <zyth> maybe the upgrade was somehow broken
[05:05] <sippyCUP> sup
[05:05] <wweasel> zyth: from apt-cache show xrandr   -    Version: 1:1.2.2-0ubuntu1~7.04prevu1
[05:05] <P_Kable> I just won 4GB of ECC Registered ram on ebay. How long you think will it take to analyze it using MEMTEST ?
[05:05] <zyth> wweasel, remove it anyhow
[05:05] <zyth> wweasel, and --purge it
[05:06] <wweasel> zyth: --force-depends ?
[05:06] <Jack_Sparrow> MonkeyFit: Other than trying some of these command line option I am out of ideas...   pci=noapci acpi=off noapic nolapic or  all_generic_ide ide=nodma vga=normal or 791 nomce pnpbios=off xdrvr=vesa xres=800x600 apm=off
[05:06] <zyth> wweasel, well, make sure you dont purge all its dependancies ;)
[05:06] <zyth> just be careful
[05:06] <wweasel> zyth: done
[05:06] <wweasel> and I installed the backported deb again
[05:06] <zyth> wweasel, now use dpkg to install the debs you built
[05:06] <wweasel> and it still says that xrandr is too old
[05:07] <wweasel> which is absolutely insane
[05:07] <stark_> I have another problem though - no matter what I seem to do, I can't seem to get my resolution to go above 1024x768.  This kind of sucks, since I have a widescreen laptop.  Any help would be appreciated (I'm using the fglrx drivers, if it helps).
[05:07] <zyth> Really bloody strange
[05:07] <zyth> it sounds like something is messed up in xrandr.  and I don't get it.
[05:07] <zyth> maybe its checking the RUNNING version?
[05:07] <MonkeyFit> Jack: thanks for all your help, this seems to be a problem very few have run into
[05:07] <zyth> do you need to restart X?
[05:07] <wweasel> zyth: Hey, that's an excellent point
[05:07] <goose> I'm having trouble setting up the drivers for the wireless card on my laptop. it's a BCM4306 card, but I can't get it to work...
[05:07] <zyth> I really have no real idea what xrandr is anyways :)
[05:08] <zyth> but try that
[05:08] <Jack_Sparrow> MonkeyFit: Any time.. goodnight
[05:08] <wweasel> zyth: xrandr = rotation and reflection.
[05:08] <zyth> ahh ok
[05:08] <zyth> yeah, try restarting X or something, in case it is checking the active ver
[05:08] <goose> has anyone in here set up BCM43XX drivers before?

[05:10] <zyth> goose, ahh.  Yeah, then wait here and see if someone who knows about it shows up
[05:10] <zyth> its a common thing, so odds are someone will before too long
[05:10] <stark_> no matter what I seem to do, I can't seem to get my resolution to go above 1024x768.  This kind of sucks, since I have a widescreen laptop.  Any help would be appreciated (I'm using the fglrx drivers, if it helps).
[05:10] <PyChild> please help with sendmail,  i want to change the headers sent in mail from localhost, basically it says RootUserName sent this on behalf of ConfiguredEmailAccountName, i want it to simply say ConfiguredEmailAccountName sent this
[05:10] <stark_> (I asked it above already, sorry)
[05:11] <arosen> stark_: no problem
[05:11] <arosen> stark_: do this sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[05:11] <arosen> stark_: make sure and select the ati drivers!
[05:11] <arosen> stark_: NVM DONT DO THAT
[05:12] <craigbass1976> Every time I want to get on a wireless network with wifi-radar, I'm asked to set up a profile or something.  I'm wondering if something is getting confused when I have too many profiled networks.  When I'm home, I have a bear of a time sometimes getting on the network, and don't know why
[05:12] <JakeConno1> how do i write a log message to a remote host?
[05:12] <arosen> stark_: send me your xorg.conf file ill fix it for you.
[05:13] <craigbass1976> Other than today I had an ip from a network yesterday, and Ubuntu wouldn't let go if it after restarting the netowrk many times
[05:13] <stark_> arosen: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34748/plain/
[05:13] <DrJuano> hi everybody
[05:13] <arosen> stark_: hold on i have do show something to someone first
[05:13] <stark_> arosen: Sure thing
[05:14] <DrJuano> Does someone know if there is something similar to Kaillera for Kxmame?
[05:14] <yurimxpxman> any ideas how to download the videos on this page? http://www.purevolume.com/videos/mxpx/sessions I'm stumped :/
[05:14] <Bogaurd> hmm, I just installed thunderbird 2, and now the fonts in thunderbird are super super tiny
[05:14] <cyber-brain> how to change chmod to all directories,files,subdirectories and files in that subdirectories and subsubdirs......???:S
[05:14] <zyth> cyber-brain, chmod -R
[05:15] <craigbass1976> cyber-brain, chmod -R
[05:15] <cyber-brain> and chown?
[05:15] <zyth> same
[05:15] <cyber-brain> thanx ;)
[05:15] <scipio> stark_: isn't that supposed to be 1280x800 instead of 1200x800? just comparing to mine, feel free to ignore :)
[05:15] <craigbass1976> cyber-brain, chown -R user:group /folder/name
[05:16] <wweasel> zyth: Hmmm....bash: /usr/local/bin/xbacklight: No such file or directory
[05:16] <gary> How do I create a smb user?
[05:16] <zyth> wweasel, and you reinstalled it?
[05:16] <stark_> scipio: Actually, I'm not sure, hold on a second and I'll check it
[05:16] <gary> smbpasswd -a?
[05:16] <cyber-brain> and what about premissions for fat32 partitions???
[05:16] <cyber-brain> it says that i cant change the owner!
[05:16] <craigbass1976> cyber-brain, same as any ext3 one
[05:16] <wweasel> zyth...wow, this is really weird. It wasn't kidding when it said no such directory. /usr/local/bin no longer exists :/
[05:16] <nullie> humm, ubuntu installer can't run xorg on my notebook
[05:16] <zyth> wweasel, Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh WHAT?
[05:17] <DrJuano> persmissions for fat32???
[05:17] <craigbass1976> cyber-brain, where is it mounted up?
[05:17] <aubade> Why would crond only execute scripts in a users homedir and not elsewhere? :V Same permissions.
[05:17] <DrJuano> can you do that?
[05:17] <R4M0N> hey! i got kubuntu up and running with xgl + beryl on my system with a geforce 8500 GT. the problem is that in 24 bit color depth everything seems to be really choppy. if i switch to 16 bit everything is fine but xgl cant run in 16 bit mode... my resolution is 1680x1050@60Hz  any ideas?
[05:17] <wweasel> zyth: Yeah....really f***** weird. (no swearing here, but that's the appropriate response)
[05:17] <stark_> scipio: I think you're right, I made the change
[05:17] <zyth> wweasel, that is BEYOND bizzare.
[05:17] <cyber-brain> craigbass1976:  /media/winC (btw i have debian 4.0)
[05:17] <wweasel> zyth: I know. AND this is a clean install
[05:18] <stark_> scipio: How would I change to that resolution?  Would I have to restart first
[05:18] <scipio> stark_: try restarting X maybe it will work
[05:18] <craigbass1976> DrJuano, I did when I still had windows.  had a fat partition to share stuff between xp and fedora
[05:18] <zyth> wweasel, :S
[05:18] <Tanman> i think i might have done a bit a boo boo on my web server....
[05:18] <scipio> stark_: ctrl+alt+backspace
[05:18] <stark_> scipio: all right, I'll be back shortly
[05:18] <wweasel> zyth: Well, no more questions for now, let me try to fix this and I'll keep you posted
[05:18] <craigbass1976> cyber-brain, is it mounted there automatically, like in /etc/fstab?
[05:18] <wweasel> zyth: mkdir /usr/local/bin    :P
[05:18] <zyth> wweasel, np...
[05:19] <gary> why can't I connect to my local machine? 127.0.0.1
[05:19] <craigbass1976> gary, is ssh server running?
[05:19] <zerokill88> HELP!   fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=1838782e-505d-40ec-8e40-83376fee19e9'
[05:19] <zerokill88> fsck died with exit status 8
[05:19] <Tanman> apache2. i did a apt-get install apache2
[05:19] <gary> how do I find that out?
[05:19] <stark_> scipio: Holy crud, thanks, I've been having that problem forever, and it bugged me more than anything else.  Nice to know it was such an easy fix (dumb of me on my part to begin with).  Thanks!
[05:19] <craigbass1976> gary, how are you trying to get in?
[05:20] <Tanman> and after upgrading it and going to some php pages.the browser is now asking how to open the file php
[05:20] <scipio> stark_: wow excellent. i wasn't expecting that to work :)
[05:20] <Tanman> any idea how i can resolve it?
[05:20] <cyber-brain> craigbass1976: nope!i've mounted it there as all other ext3 partitions!
[05:20] <gary> I'm just trying to connect to samba to create an account
[05:20] <tego> really i dont wanna reinstall ubuntu on my lap but some time its freez and i wanna know how to makeit faster i install alot of programs  is there program help for that ?
[05:20] <craigbass1976> gary, sudo apt-get install openssh-server will install it if you don;t already have it
[05:20] <kshah> anyone here using DimDim?
[05:20] <stark_> scipio: Honestly, me neither... makes me feel kind of dumb, :P  Thanks again, and good night to everyone who helped me!
[05:20] <rellik> I've had beryl installed for some time now, and it's worked fine..  then one boot it didn't come up, and I can't find any error log.  the emerald theme is gone too, back to the default gnome theme...  beryl-manager > "Select Window Manager" shows beryl as active, but none of its features seem to be
[05:20] <rellik> there is no log file in .beryl
[05:20] <WhattTheFuzz> echooo
[05:21] <craigbass1976> cyber-brain, so there is an entry in fstab for this fat partition?
[05:21] <gary> what is ssh used for?
[05:21] <craigbass1976> gary, is samba running?
[05:21] <craigbass1976> gary, logging in remotely.  I wasn't sure what you were talking about
[05:21] <cyber-brain> craigbass1976: yes!i've did it manualy
[05:21] <wweasel> zyth: I purged both packages, and am starting over. backported xrandr 1.2.0, time to restart X. I'll be back
[05:21] <craigbass1976> cyber-brain, and you can access it as root?  browse it and so forth
[05:22] <WhattTheFuzz> beryl is good... i tired comp fusion and it fuzzed everything up
[05:22] <gary> I installed samba and I see the ubuntu computer on the windows box
[05:22] <craigbass1976> cyber-brain, you might consider making a folder in your homedir and mounting it up there
[05:22] <nullie> how can I adjust xorg configuration when installing ubuntu?
[05:22] <wolferine> rellik, remove/reinstall it?
[05:22] <CodemasterMM> so... what's the difference between a posixAccount and a shadowAccount?
[05:22] <craigbass1976> gary, how are you trying to access it locally?
[05:22] <wolferine> nullie, during the install, you cannot
[05:23] <Jordan_U> nullie, Are you using the LiveCD?
[05:23] <scipio> rellik: when at the login screen make sure you have selected the xgl session and not the default gnome
[05:23] <WhattTheFuzz> hey what is the main irc channel everyone connects to... i know its not ubuntu servers...
[05:23] <nullie> Jordan_U, yes
[05:23] <gary> craigbass: terminal
[05:23] <craigbass1976> WhattTheFuzz, irc.freenode.net
[05:23] <WhattTheFuzz> thanks
[05:23] <craigbass1976> gary, smbclient?
[05:23] <nullie> wolferine, I can't start installer due to non-suitable xorg configuration, what should I do?
[05:23] <Jordan_U> nullie, You can edit the xorg.conf just like a real install, and restart X ( though obviously not while running the actual installer ))
[05:23] <wolferine> nullie, get the alternate CD to install
[05:24] <nullie> alternate cd?
[05:24] <craigbass1976> gary, you could telnet into localhost on whatever port samba runs on to see if it's accepting connections
[05:24] <Jordan_U> nullie, Press ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a terminal...
[05:24] <wolferine> two CDs, Live CD for gui install, alternate for command line install
[05:24] <nullie> Jordan_U, /etc/X11/xorg.conf seems to be read-only
[05:25] <Jordan_U> nullie, Then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" choose vesa, then run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[05:25] <nullie> Jordan_U, ah, ok
[05:25] <gary> craigbass: I'm local on the ubuntu box and just trying to create a smb account so that windows can connect to the ubuntu box
[05:25] <Jordan_U> nullie, You need to edit it as root if you do it by hand, ie "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" but dpkg-reconfigure should do the trick
[05:27] <Tanman> what do i need to install php5 on apache
[05:27] <Tanman> it seems to have disappeared on me
[05:27] <wweasel> zyth: Still the mysterious "RandR version 1.1 too old" *rolls eyes*
[05:27] <craigbass1976> gary, did you get my pm?
[05:28] <wweasel> zyth: But not for want of trying, on either of our parts. Thanks so much for your help
[05:28] <gary> craigbass: I need to register...hold on
[05:29] <craigbass1976> gary, pm me when you're all setup
[05:29] <TheEconomist> hey, anybody here good at upgrading from Breezy - Feisty?
[05:29] <crackerbox> i have a laptop with the nvidia 8400 video, that means i have to use the latest nvidia driver, problem is when im using compiz-fusion and restart, log off, or shut down, the system hangs, and i have to do a hard power off, (nothing else ((ALT+CTRL 1,2,3,5 BACKSPACE works)))  any ideas?  is there a way to use Xgl with the Nvidia card in gnome? If so would it be the same as how i got it working with an ATI card?
[05:29] <TheEconomist> because my system won't let me
[05:30] <wolferine> compiz-fusion, shut it off
[05:30] <nomasteryoda> TheEconomist, you change the repos in your sources.list
[05:30] <crackerbox> even when i turn it of, it will hang
[05:30] <TheEconomist> Whenever I'd run apt-get update as a precursor to everything it would all fail....
[05:30] <craigbass1976> TheEconomist, good luck.  I went from dapper to feisty and it took forever
[05:30] <TheEconomist> no upgrades
[05:30] <TheEconomist> so I wiped the hdd and reloaded Breezy from scratch
[05:30] <craigbass1976> TheEconomist, probably better off backing up and doign a fresh install
[05:30] <PurpleFoo1> Qwk reality check.  Is there a way to install ubuntu by booting, say, a netboot image and sshing in to run the install?
[05:31] <wolferine> crackerbox, well, thats what happens when you use beta/experimental releases
[05:31] <TheEconomist> now it won't even look at the newer repositories
[05:31] <crackerbox> wolferine... that is a very poor suggestion'
[05:31] <TheEconomist> so I can't get the newer update manager
[05:31] <crackerbox> not helpful at all
[05:31] <Jordan_U> TheEconomist, Why are you using breezy?
[05:31] <craigbass1976> Likes the wind in his hair
[05:31] <wolferine> crackerbox, truth hurts, I know
[05:31] <crackerbox> id rather you just not say anything if you dont have a valid suggestion
[05:31] <dougie> how do i kill xserver and just use the command prompt?
[05:31] <burepe> I shared a folder with samba on my ubuntu box and I can access it with my mac with no password and I don't have read and write permissions. I want the directory to be password protected and to beable to read and write so  I followed this faq https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountWindowsSharesPermanently but after I finished the folder that I shared still has no password protection and no read write access. This is like the 10th time
[05:31] <burepe> I have tried to set this up and I never seem to get it right. Why is samba so complicated?
[05:31] <TheEconomist> well, I had been using Breezy for the last (year?) or so.... and it's all I have official CD's for
[05:31] <nomasteryoda> TheEconomist, you can do it with apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:31] <PurpleFoo1> dougie update-rc.d remove gdm
[05:32] <TheEconomist> nomasteryoda - that's the problem.... they're failing
[05:32] <craigbass1976> gary, you still there?
[05:32] <crackerbox> truth hurts, but im sure being ignorant is a bit more painful
[05:32] <TheEconomist> I can't even get past apt-get update
[05:32] <nomasteryoda> TheEconomist, get a good sources list
[05:32] <nomasteryoda> there are some...
[05:32] <nomasteryoda> hang on
[05:32] <TheEconomist> ..... now that's an idea
[05:32] <wolferine> crackerbox, ignorant, yes, you would know a bit about that :)
[05:32] <TheEconomist> didn't think about changing that
[05:32] <nomasteryoda> the servers did change i think
[05:32] <nomasteryoda> i'm using gutsy now...
[05:32] <nomasteryoda> =D
[05:33] <dougie> PurpleFool, so just do sudo update-rc.d remove gdm in the prompt?
[05:33] <crackerbox> heres the thing: do you run compiz? do you have an nvidia card? no then stfu
[05:33] <Jordan_U> crackerbox, #ubuntu-effects for Compiz / beryl / CF, but you can't expect stability with an alpha piece of software
[05:33] <crackerbox> thx
[05:33] <TheEconomist> hmmmm
[05:33] <TheEconomist> the Ubuntu source-o-matic won't list for Breezy
[05:33] <PurpleFoo1> that'll stop you starting the x login dougie.  Next boot you're golden
[05:34] <dougie> this is the output i get
[05:34] <dougie> dougie@dougie-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo update-rc.d remove gdm
[05:34] <dougie> update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/remove: file does not exist
[05:34] <PurpleFoo1> dougie, if you want to stop the current one, /etc/init.d/gdm stop and quit the X session.

[05:34] <buck1> I'm having problems with my sound. Ubuntu see's my sound card, but I don't get any audio.
[05:34] <dougie> PurpleFool ok...lemme try that
[05:34] <Maban> haha i finally got wine working right
[05:34] <PurpleFoo1> Sorry may have transposed the remove and gdm, try switching them. :-/
[05:35] <wolferine> crackerbox, I run it, and I have an nvidia card, why does that matter
[05:35] <Jordan_U> buck1, have you checked that everything is unmuted in alsamixer?
[05:35] <TheEconomist> ok.... I think the sources is my problem
[05:35] <unknown_ninja> Can anyone help me with wifi problem? I have an inspiron 5150 broadcom bcm94306mpsg videocard, I've tried soulutions found in the ubuntu forums but nothing works...any suggestions?
[05:35] <TheEconomist> anybody know where I can get a source list that will still work with Breezy?
[05:35] <nomasteryoda> my amarok is futzed on here... gutsy nor feisty will work right
[05:36] <PurpleFoo1> dougie, why do you want to stop the X server?
[05:36] <Jordan_U> TheEconomist, Why are you using breezy?
[05:36] <Pelo> unknown_ninja,  what chipset is this videocard ? is ubuntu installed or are you tring to get the lilve cd going ?
[05:36] <TheEconomist> because I didn't upgrade and have been using it for a while.  I'm trying to upgrade now to Feisty, but apparently because I can't use apt-get update due to Breezy no longer being supported, I'm screwed
[05:37] <buck1> wait, I think I might have fixed my sound problem already
[05:37] <nomasteryoda> TheEconomist, no hang on
[05:37] <unknown_ninja> I'm actually running xubuntu... oops should I just join that IRC or can I get answers here
[05:37] <PurpleFoo1> So, install via ssh anyone?
[05:37] <TheEconomist> nomasteryoda - ok
[05:37] <scipio> TheEconomist: is it impossible for you do download the feisty cd?
[05:37] <Pelo> TheEconomist, you can only upgrade to the next release anyway, you'd have to be on edgy to upgrade to fiesty,,  save yourself some trouble,  clean install feisty
[05:38] <TheEconomist> scipio - tried it.  For whatever reason the CD failed the checksum when I tried installing it
[05:38] <Pelo> unknown_ninja,  you are on irc , but #xubuntu would be a better place
[05:38] <nomasteryoda> TheEconomist, you in the south?
[05:38] <TheEconomist> yes
[05:38] <crackerbox> ubontu and Jordan_u - I came in the channel with a simple question.  Basically my question is "i am having a problem with Blank" The answer i got from someone was "dont use Blank"... how does this help the community.  Those type of non-solutions are better never even typed
[05:38] <buck1> No, I'm still not getting sound
[05:38] <prabs> hi guys, im on feisty trying to run fretsonfire.. can anyone be kind enough to help me install the dependencies plz?
[05:38] <riv> 
[05:38] <nomasteryoda> TheEconomist, try this... http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
[05:39] <nomasteryoda> should make you a nice one
[05:39] <nomasteryoda> TheEconomist, now be sure to do .... sudo apt-get clean
[05:39] <TheEconomist> nomasteryoda - I looked there
[05:39] <TheEconomist> no Breezy option
[05:39] <TheEconomist> starts at Dapper
[05:39] <Pelo> !cn | riv
[05:39] <ubotu> riv: For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[05:39] <dougie> ok....what is the package to install to get the kernel source?
[05:39] <Jordan_U> crackerbox, It is not unreasonable when you are running alpha software, but even it it was you are being unnecessarily rude.
[05:40] <hoffmanpm2> buck: did you check your levels using alsamixer?
[05:40] <wolferine> crackerbox, we dont get paid to answer your questions, everyone is volunteers
[05:40] <nomasteryoda> TheEconomist, no, you are using dapper?
[05:40] <WhattTheFuzz> sudo apt light my cheeb for me
[05:40] <TheEconomist> no.... I'm using Breezy
[05:40] <prabs> hi guys, im on feisty trying to run fretsonfire.. can anyone be kind enough to help me install the dependencies plz?
[05:40] <TheEconomist> there's no option for Breezy
[05:40] <crackerbox> in answer to my own question... i think xgl will be the answer to the Compiz hangs on shutdown with latest Nvidia drive
[05:40] <wolferine> crackerbox, you take the risk of using experimental software
[05:40] <TheEconomist> it starts at Dapper and goes up from there
[05:40] <TheEconomist> (the site)
[05:40] <buck1> jordan_u, I'm still not getting any sound. I know I have the correct device selected, and the volume is unmuted.
[05:40] <nomasteryoda> TheEconomist, does not matter which... going from Breezy to Feisty should work fine... i did it
[05:40] <t0nedef> thanks
[05:40] <t0nedef> I hate wpa over wired security
[05:40] <TheEconomist> straight through?
[05:40] <nomasteryoda> yes
[05:40] <nomasteryoda> no reboot until i was done though
[05:40] <|amicrawler|> hey guys i have a issue  i have been trying to get my z22 to sync with my ubunt
[05:41] <TheEconomist> I've been reading that it gets totally fubar'd when you do that?
[05:41] <nomasteryoda> kept update, dist-upgrade
[05:41] <nomasteryoda> err, well if you are kinda needing it and you backed up data... its ok
[05:41] <|amicrawler|> did /dev/pilot  ,ttyusb 0-6
[05:41] <PurpleFoo1> dougie kernel-source

[05:41] <|amicrawler|> it beeps
[05:41] <TheEconomist> ok.... will do.
[05:41] <Jordan_U> TheEconomist, Did you try the alternate install CD for fiesty ( it's basically the same installer as breezy ) ?
[05:41] <PurpleFoo1> dougie, did you stop gdm ok?
[05:41] <|amicrawler|> and petends it syncs but no info
[05:42] <dougie> PurpleFool, yes it worked
[05:42] <Maban> how can i let my keyboard take ubuntu of of sleep mode?
[05:42] <TheEconomist> Jordan - CD I used was corrupted
[05:42] <Pie-rate> if i connect a tv to the dvi port on my ubuntu box, will it just work?
[05:42] <TheEconomist> failed MD5 checksum
[05:42] <TheEconomist> but I'll try nomasteryoda's idea
[05:42] <TheEconomist> and if that doesn't work, I'll try making another CD
[05:42] <buck1> jordan_u do you mind if I PM you?

[05:44] <demonspork> what is the key combo to lock the screen?
[05:44] <nomasteryoda> demonspork, whatever you want it to be
[05:44] <demonspork> nvm
[05:44] <prabs> bloody hell i cant believe its so complicated to get fretsonfire to run
[05:44] <demonspork> I am refering to the default
[05:44] <t0nedef> demonspork, depends on what you bind it too
[05:44] <demonspork> but I found it
[05:44] <dougie> PurpleFool do you have pm's disabled or something?
[05:44] <buck1> wolferine, I'm having problems with my sound. ubuntu recognizes my sound card, I have it selected and unmuted but the tests for the pipeline hangup and I get no audio.
[05:45] <prabs> this is putting me off ubuntu now
[05:45] <demonspork> hmm, its not helping
[05:45] <buck1> My sound in windows works fine.
[05:45] <demonspork> working
[05:45] <Javid> Is it possible to add menus to the top bar? Right alongside Apps - Places - System? The menu editing thing just lets me add submenus.
[05:45] <wolferine> buck1, this isnt a windows channel :)
[05:45] <xionox> hi all
[05:45] <buck1> I know, i was just saying that my sound works fine in windows
[05:45] <buck1> so why doesnt it work in ubuntu
[05:45] <imbecile> i have my box setup... anything interesting to do anyone can recommend?
[05:45] <buck1> =p
[05:45] <wolferine> buck1, what do you mean 'the pipeline hangup' ?
[05:46] <wolferine> buck1, i guess I have to be obvious, they are two different OSes
[05:46] <vip3rousmango> Anyone know how or what to open a .bin with? It's Planeshift's linux install file??
[05:46] <nullie> I still can't run xorg: DDC says monitor supports 1280x800, but x-server can't find such vesa mode
[05:46] <nullie> and I don't know how to disable DDC
[05:46] <scipio> Javid: try right click on it and chose Add to Panel
[05:46] <wolferine> nullie, post your xorg.conf on pastebin
[05:47] <wolferine> !pastebin | nullie
[05:47] <ubotu> nullie: 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)
[05:47] <buck1> wolferine, if you go to system, preferences, sound. You can run tests on your audio hardware. When I run a test, it hangs up. I get no audio at all through ubuntu, despite having the right device selected and everything unmuted. My sound works fine in windows so I know this isnt a hardware issue.
[05:47] <|amicrawler|> does any body have a clue about this issue?
[05:47] <Javid> scipio, that just lets me add launchers
[05:47] <nullie> wolferine, humm, it's default ubuntu config
[05:47] <wolferine> buck1, I dont think I can help, sorry
[05:47] <wolferine> nullie, there isnt such a thing
[05:47] <buck1> ok, thanks anyway
[05:48] <scipio> Javid: ah right. don't know then sorry
[05:48] <wolferine> nullie, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:48] <Javid> I had the same issue on my laptop, I had to reset the bios to defaults but sound worked after that
[05:48] <buck1> Can anyone help me with my audio problem?
[05:48] <Javid> buck1, ^^^^^
[05:48] <wolferine> buck1, I suggest not mentioning 'it works in windows' in every question/answer you supply
[05:48] <Jordan_U> vip3rousmango, Do a "chmod + x whatever.bin" then ./whatever.bin
[05:48] <yurimxpxman> what's the device name of the RAM?
[05:48] <unagi> whats the command to see my cpu information?
[05:48] <vip3rousmango> Jordan_U: what?? what does that do?..
[05:48] <Javid> I dunno, it's a valid reason to assume it's a software issue
[05:49] <buck1> wolferine, I was just saying that to prove that it wasn't a hardware issue, chill out.
[05:49] <Jordan_U> vip3rousmango, Or right click it, go to properties and make it executable, then double click it
[05:49] <|amicrawler|> rose
[05:49] <dougie> is this the package i need? linux-source-2.6.20??
[05:49] <skinnypuppy1334> buck1, you may be better off looking on the forums for your particular sound card for the fix.
[05:49] <wolferine> buck1, I am calmer than calm
[05:49] <|amicrawler|> cafe
[05:49] <Jordan_U> vip3rousmango, Makes it executable then runs it
[05:49] <vip3rousmango> ok well im going to try the terminal way :)
[05:49] <unagi> is there a command to see all about my cpu?
[05:49] <tritium> unagi: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[05:50] <unagi> ty
[05:51] <buck1> OK, I'll try that javid
[05:51] <buck1> thanks
[05:51] <prabs> hi guys, im on feisty trying to run fretsonfire.. can anyone be kind enough to help me install the dependencies plz?
[05:51] <vip3rousmango> Jordan_U: ok, wine trys to open it and then nothing happends. it's supposted to be for linux..
[05:52] <wolferine> prabs, I guess your not installing through synaptic?
[05:52] <Jordan_U> vip3rousmango, Wine should not be trying to open it, did you set it to executable?
[05:53] <prabs> is it in synaptic???
[05:53] <vip3rousmango> Jordan_U: it already says type executable
[05:53] <vip3rousmango> no, not in synaptic, its not a package
[05:53] <vip3rousmango> or a .deb, its a .bin which is weird for linux =\
[05:53] <scipio> prabs: did you try following this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=415624&highlight=fretsonfire ?
[05:53] <wolferine> lol
[05:53] <vip3rousmango> er.. at least for me
[05:53] <vip3rousmango> ok
[05:53] <_MattB> this should be an easy one: how can I get my DNS server to respond to queries on it's eth0 ip address and not just the loopback?
[05:53] <wolferine> vip3rousmango, new to linux?
[05:53] <prabs> scipio: ill check it now thanks
[05:54] <vip3rousmango> wolferine: yeah.
[05:54] <wolferine> i was being sarcastic
[05:54] <skinnypuppy1334> I'm shopping for a 20-22 inch LCD monitor to replace a 19" tube monitor. Anything I need to know before buying one? i don't use windows anymore just makeing sure what I get will work
[05:54] <Dr_willis> skinnypuppy1334,  pric4es are so good on that stuff now a days its great. :0
[05:54] <wolferine> skinnypuppy1334, you should be fine
[05:54] <Jordan_U> vip3rousmango, When you right click it and go to properties, then the permissions tab, is "Allow executing file as a program" checked?
[05:55] <Dr_willis> skinnypuppy1334,  its all about your budget and needs.
[05:55] <wolferine> hey Dr :)
[05:55] <wolferine> *grumbles* wants
[05:55] <prabs> scipio: it doesnt say anything about satisying the dependencies :(
[05:55] <Dr_willis> I like my Samsung 226bw - great look. but no speakers, and only the vga/dvi inputs.
[05:55] <wolferine> prabs, your compiling from source?
[05:55] <wolferine> 205BW here
[05:55] <dougie> Ok that didn't work. Can anyone help me with installing the kernel source?
[05:56] <prabs> wolferine: i downloaded the pack from fretsonfire, then ./fretsonfire.bin
[05:56] <skinnypuppy1334> Great glad to hear the lcd monitors are good to go then. Yeah prices look good for that kind of monitor realestate
[05:56] <wolferine> dougie, just add it in synaptic?
[05:56] <prabs> it asked for sdl mixer
[05:56] <wolferine> prabs, and you have a guide to installing?
[05:56] <dougie> wolferine, I tried that and i don't see a kernel-source package. I tried installing linux-source-2.6.20 and that didn't work either.
[05:56] <prabs> not really no, there seems to be no how-to for it :(
[05:56] <wolferine> prabs, that seems odd
[05:57] <prabs> i do have a .deb as well, but it wouldnt install, says dependecies not complete
[05:57] <Optimus55> is it possible to get the panther switching effect in regular beryl?
[05:57] <dougie> wolferine, i'm trying to install the nvidia binary drivers and it needs the kernel source code
[05:57] <wolferine> well, since its ubuntu, I am strongly leaning towards the .deb
[05:57] <Jordan_U> prabs, What dependencies does it say it needs and where did you get the .deb?
[05:57] <wolferine> prabs, trying to install a .bin when there is a .deb is just silly
[05:58] <prabs> Jordan: it doesnt mention any
[05:58] <prabs> wolferine: i tried the .deb first actually
[05:58] <wolferine> dling now
[05:58] <Jordan_U> prabs, Where did you get the .deb?
[05:59] <prabs> Jordan_U: i dont remember, debian something i think?
[05:59] <panico_online_>  alguem pode me dizer, aonde posso baixar o ubuntu?
[05:59] <panico_online_>  alguem pode me dizer, aonde posso baixar o ubuntu?
[05:59] <panico_online_>  alguem pode me dizer, aonde posso baixar o ubuntu?
[05:59] <Jordan_U> prabs, Debian .debs are not necessarily compatible with Ubuntu
[06:01] <wolferine> prabs, if you look in the file you extracted, it tells you, in the readme.txt everything you need to know
[06:01] <wolferine> prabs, take the time to read it
[06:01] <vip3rousmang0> Ok, i still can't get this .bin to install
[06:01] <wolferine> vip3rousmang0, what .bin?
[06:01] <Megaqwerty> Anyone know how I could pipe the results of a bunch of different programs into another? (i.e. echo "this" && echo "is" && echo "a" && echo "test" | zenity --text-info --title "Testbox" )
[06:01] <vip3rousmang0> i tryed ./filename.bin in terminal and it says command not found
[06:02] <vip3rousmang0> its
[06:02] <Megaqwerty> vip3rousmang0: chmod u+x filename.bin
[06:02] <prabs> wolferine: it mentions something about sdl mixer.. i installed everything libsdl in synaptic still x crashes if i try to run it
[06:02] <vip3rousmang0> u+x?
[06:02] <Megaqwerty> vip3rousmang0: yep
[06:02] <wolferine> prabs, so you have installed it?
[06:02] <Megaqwerty> vip3rousmang0: give the owner execute permission
[06:02] <vip3rousmang0> so.. in essence: chmod u+x PlaneShift_CBV0.3.019-x86.bin
[06:03] <Megaqwerty> vip3rousmang0: you've got it
[06:03] <_MattB> how long should one wait before asking thier question again? :)

[06:04] <wolferine> good luck prabs
[06:04] <kerossen> hi  every  brody :D

[06:04] <sparr> cafuego: i prefer to
[06:04] <Megaqwerty> _MattB: what's your problem?
[06:04] <vip3rousmang0> Megaqwerty: yay it worked! Thanks.

[06:06] <mbt> Indeed.  Dangerous command.
[06:06] <yurimxpxman> Gogs: sure! :)
 maybe in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:07] <Skrypt> I bloody well did it!
[06:08] <wolferine> yurimxpxman, why the command?
[06:08] <Megaqwerty> wolferine: it's to mess up your computer
[06:08] <Megaqwerty> wolferine: ...very badly
[06:08] <yurimxpxman> wolferine: just a joke ;)
[06:08] <linuxgeekery> yurimxpxman: not the best idea in a support channel
[06:08] <wolferine> yurimxpxman, there are lots of new ppl in the channel, I dont think its appropriate
[06:08] <yurimxpxman> linuxgeekery: lol.. you're probably right :)
[06:08] <Tm_T> yurimxpxman: that kind of jokes doesn't belong to Ubuntu world, thanks
[06:08] <mbt> There are many new people around that might think that's just some tweak.
[06:08] <linuxgeekery> yurimxpxman: well, maybe if it doesn't mess up your computer :P
[06:09] <mbt> They'd be very unhappy to find out that at the very least, they are now forced to reboot.
[06:09] <linuxgeekery> yurimxpxman: or if you put (really, DON'T run) at the end or something
[06:09] <Tm_T> linuxgeekery: not even then
[06:09] <Megaqwerty> Tm_T: yep, that just makes it all the more tempting
[06:09] <Megaqwerty> ;)
[06:09] <linuxgeekery> never thought of that aspect
[06:09] <linuxgeekery> :P
[06:09] <Zombie> Does anyone have a working TV out configuration for an i810?
[06:09] <Tm_T> ...
[06:10] <wolferine> anyways, yurimxpxman maybe you can leave?
[06:10] <mbt> Zombie, I did on my Toshiba Satellite.  Just required using the Fn+F5 enough times to switch it properly.  Could never get it to work directly from the X.org config file though.
[06:10] <Megaqwerty> Anyone know how I could pipe the results of a bunch of different programs into another? (i.e. echo "this" && echo "is" && echo "a" && echo "test" | zenity --text-info --title "Testbox" )
[06:10] <panico_online_>  alguem brasileiro????
[06:10] <panico_online_>  alguem brasileiro????
[06:10] <mbt> Megaqwerty, Yes, you can use a subshell

[06:11] <Megaqwerty> mbt: Ah! thanks.
[06:11] <mbt> Megaqwerty, No problemo.
[06:11] <mbt> Megaqwerty, That's particularly useful for statically scripting telnet sessions :)
[06:12] <jaxon_> how do i give this command "gk sudo"  when i m in kde?..thx
[06:12] <WhattTheFuzz_> im using xchat...how do i see user list..my left pane is server list only
[06:12] <mbt> jaxon_, kdesu is, I think, the command
[06:13] <Dr_willis> jaxon_,  if using kde, you prioberly should use the kdesu command. (or was it kdsudo)_
[06:13] <Dr_willis> !sudo
[06:13] <tritium> Jordan_U: things okay?
[06:13] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
 drag the right menu, it is not visible the first time
[06:13] <mbt> Anyone know what the black magic incantation is to get 'pecl update-channels' to work?  'sudo apt-get install php5-xmlrpc' didn't do it... still complains about wanting xmlrpc.  :-/
[06:13] <Dr_willis> kdesu = for kde. :)
[06:13] <Jordan_U> tritium, Yes, any reason they wouldn't be ?
[06:14] <nalioth> Jordan_U: you called the ops
[06:14] <jaxon_> gksudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config          ...this is the line i m trying to covert in kde
[06:14] <jaxon_> ok...dr willis...i'll try
[06:14] <tritium> Jordan_U: because you called ops
[06:14] <mbt> jaxon_, You can either use a terminal and use "sudo" instead of "gksu", or you can substitute "kdesu" for "gksu"
[06:14] <Jordan_U> nalioth, Ahh, yurimxpxman posted a malicious command
[06:14] <nalioth> Jordan_U: tritium was asking (i saw it)
[06:15] <galpa> #ubuntu-es
[06:15] <WhattTheFuzz_> thanlks for ur help max
[06:15] <Jordan_U> tritium,  yurimxpxman posted a malicious command

[06:15] <tritium> Jordan_U: okay
[06:16] <underdog5004> Dr_willis, that sucks
[06:17] <mbt> btw, on my issue, the installation of php5-xmlrpc added an appropriate extension= line... so I am confused as to what else needs to be done to enable that extension.
[06:17] <Dr_willis> underdog5004,  :)
[06:18] <wolferine> Dr_willis, getting the boots?
[06:19] <Dr_willis> wolferine,  gotta love it. :) guess they dont want links to my  'themes' either.:) or my icon sets..
[06:19] <Dr_willis> wolferine,  been working on some... interesting icons lately.

[06:19] <dfgas> k, what are the normal packages i need to compile software?
[06:19] <wolferine> !offtopic :)
[06:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about offtopic :) - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:19] <wolferine> hehe
[06:20] <Dr_willis> wolferine,  just wait for my XXXubuntu release!
[06:20] <mbt> dfgas, build-essential at a minimum.
[06:20] <scipio> dfgas: build-essential i think
[06:20] <wolferine> lol
[06:20] <mbt> dfgas, Depending on what you're trying to build, and what language it is in, you may need more packages, too.
[06:20] <dfgas> cool, thanks
[06:20] <mbt> dfgas, no problem.
[06:22] <mbt> Looking to get php's pecl utility to work, says it wants xmlrpc extension, installed it, enabled it, and it doesn't see it.  phpinfo(); does, though.  Any ideas?
[06:23] <jerryrighter> how do find what vid card is really installed in a laptop the one on the website sayes one for this laptop and the xorg.conf sayes something dif how i really find what vid card i have
[06:23] <mbt> jerryrighter, lspci might be of some use, as well as hal-device-manager
[06:23] <Dr_willis> xorg conf is just saying what its set to use.
[06:23] <Dr_willis> xorg.conf could be totally wrong.
[06:23] <jerryrighter> thanks mbt
[06:23] <mbt> jerryrighter, no problem
[06:24] <jerryrighter> well Dr_willis it said on the sight i got a nvidia and xorg sayes i have intell
[06:24] <Dr_willis> jerryrighter,  lspci is your friend. :)
[06:25] <mbt> jerryrighter, very interesting indeed.  The Intel driver shouldn't work with NVIDIA hardware.
[06:25] <Dr_willis> jerryrighter,  check under windows what it says is there also. is one way.. or run the restricted-manager tool and see what it sees.
[06:25] <bobgill> I just edited /etc/modprobe.d/aliases from a HowTo and a poster said "You don't need to reboot, just rmmod the module and restart the network and you're done." what does "rmmod the module" mean ?
[06:25] <jerryrighter> ok thanks u two
[06:25] <Dr_willis> wolferine,  I have lots of friends.. You just cant see them.
[06:25] <plattypus1> Good evening ladies and gents!
[06:25] <mbt> Morning, plattypus1
[06:26] <Megaqwerty> mbt: why do you say that? Haven't you heard they "signed up to be defender of linux"
[06:26] <plattypus1> I'm trying to bring a new user into the light, but his CD-R's all seem to be of the coaster persuasion.
[06:26] <amicrawler> hey guy i can get my plam to sync once or twice now
[06:26] <amicrawler> but  will not listen any more
[06:26] <mbt> Megaqwerty, Google?  But they're not helping me with my problem.  :(
[06:26] <sparr> my tablet is supposed to have a wacom "eraser" input...  how might that work, physically?
[06:26] <plattypus1> Anyone know a way to get Ubuntu to install from a USB thumb drive?
[06:26] <don_> hi
[06:27] <plattypus1> I have Windows, an ubuntu .iso, and a 1GB thumbdrive to work with.
[06:27] <Megaqwerty> mbt: any way I could help? or is it server side?
[06:27] <Jordan_U> !install | plattypus1
[06:27] <ubotu> plattypus1: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[06:27] <cafuego> plattypus1: syslinux
[06:27] <mbt> plattypus1, It takes some creativity, but you should be able to put an ISO image onto a USB thumb drive and use Debian's USB installer to do it, I think
[06:27] <skinnypuppy1334> Is your bios settable to BOOT USB ?
[06:27] <plattypus1> mbt, creativity is doable.
[06:27] <Dr_willis> well night all.
[06:27] <mbt> Megaqwerty, Basically, trying to get pecl to work correctly.  It complains of a lack of the xmlrpc extension, but that's installed and enabled...
[06:28] <plattypus1> Woot! Help file that I was too inept to find. Thanks all!
[06:28] <mbt> Megaqwerty, and phpinfo() run both through the CLI and Apache PHP setup says it's activated, but pecl says no go.
[06:28] <dfgas> ughh, still won't compile
[06:28] <dfgas> i know it uses gcc
[06:28] <jerryrighter> mtb the restricted manager sayes intel(r) pro wireless 3945 coonection driver for linux
[06:28] <mbt> dfgas, what package?
[06:29] <jerryrighter> mbt connection*
[06:29] <Megaqwerty> mbt: man, it's times like these I wish I knew what pecl was... I wonder if google will be nicer to me....
[06:29] <jerryrighter> mtb*
[06:29] <cafuego> Probably because pecl isn't outright supported, as far as I can see.
[06:29] <mbt> Megaqwerty, pecl is the PHP interface to PEAR
[06:29] <jerryrighter> sorry mbt its real late
[06:29] <mbt> Megaqwerty, Supposed to be able to install custom scripts and the like.  Need it to try to interface an app with Amazon S3, which requires some libs
[06:29] <cafuego> mbt: Are you using `dh-make-php' ?
[06:30] <slapfaceware> what cpu does qemu emulate? sparc ?
[06:30] <cafuego> slapfaceware: ia32
[06:30] <mbt> jerryrighter, Understandable, is here do.  Looks like you do have an Intel.  Check out lspci in a terminal to see what it says for sure.
[06:30] <rithien> hey i have a rather perplexing problem setting up ubuntu, wondered if i could get some help
[06:30] <mbt> cafuego, dh-make-php?

[06:30] <cafuego> !info dh-make-php
[06:30] <ubotu> dh-make-php: Creates Debian source packages for PHP PEAR and PECL extensions. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.0 (feisty), package size 27 kB, installed size 344 kB
[06:30] <Jordan_U> plattypus1, If you want to use the .iso you already have instead of re-downloading you can use this guide and ignore the ext2 partition and persistence ( it won't work even if you do folloe those steps ) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[06:30] <mbt> cafuego, Will have to check for that.
[06:30] <dfgas> mbt: smg

[06:30] <Jordan_U> !ask | rithien
[06:30] <ubotu> rithien: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:30] <Megaqwerty> mbt: not knowing this stuff...I can only work with one issue at a time...working on the pecl xmlrpc issue
[06:31] <mbt> dfgas, Please ask permission before sending PMs, will be with you in one sec
[06:31] <cafuego> mbt: So it build a pecl extension source tree, which you can debbify and then install
[06:31] <dfgas> mbt: sorry
[06:31] <plattypus1> Jordan_U, that'd be great if I had a linux box to work with. Windows only. Vista even.
[06:31] <rithien> I have a desktop with an nvidia 8800gts card, but i cant boot into ubuntu without a driver for it
[06:31] <jerryrighter> ok same thing intell but why would the website say nvidia its same year same make same model
[06:31] <jerryrighter> mbt
[06:31] <mbt> Megaqwerty, Understandable.  I am going to check that thing out about using the debian manager to build it.  That might be interesting, if it works.
[06:32] <randy026> can someone help me please
[06:32] <Jordan_U> plattypus1, Scroll down :)
[06:32] <mbt> jerryrighter, They lied.  Or you have a different revision of hardware, one or the other.
[06:32] <jerryrighter> ok mbt thanks
[06:32] <plattypus1> Jordan_U, sorry, long day, preciate it.
[06:32] <Steger> Anyone know why Beryl isn't working on my ATI X1300?
[06:32] <randy026> I just updated gusty and my nvidia drivers work compiz is working but now I have no window borders at all? How can I fix this?
[06:32] <Jordan_U> plattypus1, Np :)
[06:32] <Megaqwerty> mbt: alright. I think I've hurt my head enough tonight...I'm going to stick with stuff I know in the channel...good luck.
[06:33] <Jordan_U> randy026, #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy
[06:33] <randy026> k thx
[06:33] <rithien> can anyone explain how to install some nvidia drivers from ubuntu's recover mode (since I can't start x serv)
[06:33] <mbt> Megaqwerty, Understandable, thanks anyway :)
[06:34] <rithien> anyone?
[06:34] <Megaqwerty> randy026: make sure that in your xorg.conf, "Default Depth" is set to 24
[06:34] <mbt> rithien, They are in the nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-common packages
[06:35] <rithien> do i need to throw them on a usb key or can i download them from the recovery console
[06:35] <Juftus> Hello! I seem to have the problem that 'dhclient eth0' is not run or it fails at bootup. 'dmesg | grep eth0' gives: "(..) eth0: no IPv6 routers present". Is this the reason, or is there something else I should check? If I run 'dhclient eth0' manually, it works fine.
[06:35] <mbt> rithien, If you have a network connection, you can use apt-get
[06:35] <rithien> ah, ty
[06:36] <jerryrighter> hey mbt can i ask u one more i got cedega and trying to play this game i knwo will work well in windows but in cedega it runs real real real slow and lags bad
[06:36] <moyer> im trying to delete a swap partition in gparted but im getting an error saying i need to umount any partitons over 5
[06:36] <rockets> moyer, do swapoff on that partition first
[06:36] <mbt> jerryrighter, what game?  I use Cedega for Guild Wars.
[06:36] <jerryrighter> DEFCON
[06:36] <jerryrighter> mbt
[06:36] <mbt> jerryrighter, With any game, it's a matter of tweaking it until you find just the perfect settings.  That much I do know.
[06:37] <rockets> Eww cedega
[06:37] <rockets> such  crap
[06:37] <jerryrighter> mbt: its a hacking game like uplink
[06:37] <moyer> rockets :it is off
[06:37] <mbt> rockets, Agreed, but Wine isn't there yet with Guild Wars.
[06:37] <rockets> Uplink is an awesome
[06:37] <moyer> Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5
[06:37] <moyer> thats the error
[06:37] <rockets> mbt, thats too bad, I find that games that DO work under wine, work way better then they do under cedega
[06:37] <jerryrighter> mbt can i pst u so we dont flood the chan with it so u could help me tweak it
[06:37] <yurimxpxman> is there a way to dump individual files from wireshark?
[06:38] <mbt> jerryrighter, The only thing I can recommend is trial-and-error.  That's what I had to do with Guild Wars.  If you were playing that, I could send you some working config files... but it's something else, so I am afraid you're going to have to just try.
[06:38] <mbt> jerryrighter, I won't be able to help you anymore than that, I am sorry.  :(
[06:38] <jerryrighter> thnks mbt
[06:38] <mbt> jerryrighter, No problem
[06:38] <rithien> if i do apt-get install nvidia-glx will it auto configure my x-serv (so that i can boot normal) or is there an additional step to do that
[06:38] <Megaqwerty> yurimxpxman: I know you can save the files after you stop capturing...if that's what you mean.
[06:39] <CydeSwype> hello all.  i'm in gutsy, but i think this is a general problem someone can help me with.  i lost sound this morning with the kernel update.  what things can i check/reinstall to get sound back?
[06:39] <mbt> rithien, If it doesn't do it automatically, issue "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[06:39] <yurimxpxman> Megaqwerty: the files from HTTP, such as web pages and pictures?
[06:39] <mbt> rithien, Then you can adjust the settings using a TUI front-end.
[06:39] <wolferine> !gutsy | CydeSwype,
[06:39] <ubotu> CydeSwype,: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[06:39] <Megaqwerty> yurimxpxman: I'm pretty sure you could set a filter for that traffic and then save only the files that are matched by the filter
[06:40] <CydeSwype> wolferine: yeah, i'm in there too, but not getting a lot of support at the moment
[06:40] <mbt> cafuego, Thanks for the pointer.  It looks like it found my modules for me.
[06:40] <Megaqwerty> yurimxpxman: (I have never needed to save wireshark data before, so I wouldn't know for sure)
[06:40] <wolferine> see the _only_ in the post?
[06:41] <st3v3dnd> anyone know why when I plug in a microphone no audio comes in?
[06:41] <codecaine> hi for some reason my sound not playing is there a way to restart the sound driver?
[06:41] <Varanger> Is there any faq/howto to compile to compile a module in the Ubuntu way?
[06:41] <codecaine> without rebooting
[06:41] <wolferine> st3v3dnd, how do you know, what app is receiving the audio ?
[06:42] <st3v3dnd> I have a webcam installed and the builtin mic for that works just fine, but plugging in a regular mic fails
[06:42] <st3v3dnd> wolferine: I was trying to setup ekiga
[06:42] <yurimxpxman> Megaqwerty: I'm trying to dump a video from wireshark.. I'm not sure if that's possible or not.
[06:42] <wolferine> Varanger, google ubuntu guide
[06:42] <mbt> Varanger, Don't know about a FAQ or anything, but check out module-assistant (a package).  Nifty interface that lets you compile modules as needed.  Very useful if running a non-Ubuntu kernel.
[06:42] <wolferine> st3v3dnd, and you have setup the correct device in it?
[06:42] <rockets> Its absolutely safe to install kubuntu-desktop side by side with ubuntu-desktop right?
[06:42] <skinnypuppy1334> yep
[06:42] <Megaqwerty> yurimxpxman: huh...I'm not sure how you would do it...what are you trying to do? Rip a video off a website?
[06:42] <rockets> Damn the load on my box is 11 right now.
[06:42] <jerryrighter> how do i install a formated driver .tgz
[06:43] <yurimxpxman> Megaqwerty: yes, this one -> <http://www.purevolume.com/videos/mxpx/sessions>
[06:43] <Megaqwerty> yurimxpxman: if you have the video completely downloaded on the site, it should be located in /tmp :-P
[06:43] <rithien> ok i went through and configured it, and it appeared to detect my card ok. when i boot up normal, i still get a blackscreen
[06:43] <Megaqwerty> yurimxpxman: it's a very nice trick
[06:43] <wolferine> yurimxpxman, now that we have you talking, why did you post that command in the channels you were in, which happened to be linux based channels?
[06:43] <yurimxpxman> Megaqwerty: it's not, though. It's only stored in cache or something.
[06:44] <Megaqwerty> yurimxpxman: i'll take a look then.
[06:44] <sparr> how can i get an onscreen keyboard at the gdm login dialog?
[06:44] <yurimxpxman> wolferine: as I said before, it was just a joke. I was dealing with those commands at the time, and it popped in to my head, struck me as funny. I thought others would get a laugh out of it as well.
[06:45] <wolferine> you have a bad sense of humour
[06:45] <totalnewbie> how to create root password?
[06:45] <mbt> yurimxpxman, Perhaps in a room that isn't so oriented towards newcomers---say, a very low-level technical channel.
[06:45] <yurimxpxman> totalnewbie: sudo passwd
[06:45] <mannytu> !sudo
[06:45] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:45] <st3v3dnd> wolferine:  yeah, if I use usb input it picks up from the webcam, the only other option is nvidia nforce2, and that doesn't receive any input
[06:45] <mbt> totalnewbie, You may want to re-think whether or not you want to do that.
[06:45] <wolferine> st3v3dnd, what device is the mic in ?
[06:45] <mbt> totalnewbie, There is limited use for an enabled root account, and on Internet-facing machines, it can be a major risk just having the account open to brute-force attacks.
[06:45] <yurimxpxman> mbt: some commands require it, such as openvt, but I also agree | totalnewbie
[06:46] <mbt> yurimxpxman, True.  Such software needs to have a bug report filed, IMHO.
[06:46] <fitz__> disconnect
[06:46] <totalnewbie> mbt: how can i access any root file if i don't know the password?
[06:46] <ari_stress> guys, any news on compiz update? my feisty has been without running compiz for 3 days now :(
[06:46] <st3v3dnd> wolferine: I'm not sure I follow. Do you mean where on the computer? If so, it's plugged into the builtin mic jack on the motherboard
[06:46] <linuxgeekery> totalnewbie: use sudo?
[06:47] <ari_stress> totalnewbie: sudo -i
[06:47] <rithien> apparently i cant access the command line when i boot normal either
[06:47] <mbt> totalnewbie, sudo lets you run commands as root.  By default, Ubuntu locks the root account so that only access through sudo is possible.
[06:47] <wolferine> st3v3dnd, which has onbaord sound, being the nvidia onboard sound?
[06:47] <mannytu> ! sudo | totalnewbie
[06:47] <ubotu> totalnewbie: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[06:47] <st3v3dnd> wolferine: yeah
[06:47] <mbt> That bot is really nifty.
[06:48] <Megaqwerty> yurimxpxman: no idea... sorry
[06:48] <st3v3dnd> no other sound cards in the box
[06:48] <wolferine> st3v3dnd, and you select that device in ekiga, still it doesnt record (im assuming you did take the time to check the mic volume, and toggle it on) ?
[06:48] <randy026> sigh
[06:49] <unknown_ninja> can I get xubuntu help here too?
[06:49] <dfgas> mbt, is there some cool package to install devel files?
[06:49] <yurimxpxman> totalnewbie: an example of that would be `sudo aptitude install emacs`
[06:49] <linuxgeekery> dfgas: build-essential
[06:49] <st3v3dnd> wolferine: Yes, I also tried the line-in jack, tried cranking up the volume, adding +20 db gain.
[06:50] <st3v3dnd> nothing comes through
[06:50] <linuxgeekery> dfgas: but I wasn't here for the first part of the question
[06:50] <wolferine> sure unknown_ninja, unless it is specific to just xubuntu
[06:50] <mbt> dfgas, Not that I know of.
[06:50] <wolferine> st3v3dnd, does the mic work?
[06:50] <cryx> when i create a user useradd -d /home/user -g wheel user and when i try log him in i get. no directory , logginh in whith home=/ so this means he cannot login in because he doesnt have permisions to /home. what permisions do i set for /home ?
[06:50] <wolferine> st3v3dnd, have you tested it in another environment?
[06:50] <st3v3dnd> wolferine:  Yeah, I use it during the day on another computer
[06:51] <unknown_ninja> I have a dell Inspiron 5150 with a broadcom wifi and it's not working
[06:51] <rithien> i still get a blank screen when i try to start ubuntu normal, and if i go into recovery, it looks like it keeps trying to reset my connection
[06:51] <wolferine> outta ideas here
[06:51] <mannytu> I thought everyone had a home?
[06:52] <cryx> mannytu, yea when i use useradd it doesnt cReate a default home for my user
[06:52] <st3v3dnd> wolferine: Oh well, thanks anyway.
[06:52] <yurimxpxman> cryx: what happens if that user types `cd ~` ?
[06:52] <wolferine> !wireless | unknown_ninja
[06:52] <ubotu> unknown_ninja: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:52] <cryx> yrimxpxman, it logs in with / "rootZ"
[06:52] <cryx> root
[06:52] <mannytu> ! useradd
[06:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about useradd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:53] <unknown_ninja> I tried most of the help documents nothing seems to work
[06:53] <unknown_ninja> or wifi docs
[06:53] <mannytu> ! usermod
[06:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usermod - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:54] <cryx> yea ubotu isnt the smartest bot
[06:54] <unknown_ninja> I'm reading one now as we speak
[06:54] <mbt> Meh.  dh-make-pear isn't perfect.  lol
[06:55] <Megaqwerty> mannytu: why do you want to know about useradd?
[06:55] <wolferine> nite ppl
[06:56] <chuy_max> hey wolferine
[06:56] <mannytu> cryx: goto terninal and "man adduser"
[06:56] <wolferine> not sure where your from chuy_max, but around here, nite means i am leaving :)
[06:57] <cryx> i know hw to use adduser, just not sure why its not creating a default home :P
[06:57] <cryx> i figured home has the wrong permissions
[06:57] <chuy_max> wolferine, :O, isn't it good night?
[06:57] <mannytu> :-/
[06:57] <svega85> hi i was wondering if there is a way to enable logging of ssh and everything that's done in ssh the way it's done in putty?
[06:58] <wolferine> i speak irc, I dunno about u :)
[06:58] <chuy_max> svega85, yes
[06:58] <svega85> how?
[06:58] <chuy_max> use the console
[06:58] <chuy_max> ssh 192.0.0.100 -l <user>
[06:58] <svega85> th console has logging?
[06:58] <Megaqwerty> svega85: well...I don't know about everything...but I know looking at /var/log/auth.log will tell you about logins
[06:59] <chuy_max> ahhh
[06:59] <chuy_max> :P
[07:00] <mbt> Hrm. If dh-make-pear doesn't work for getting a package from PEAR, there is probably no other way to create a deb package from it, is there?
[07:00] <svega85> chuy_max well i need it for a class to log all the commands i type and there ourput
[07:00] <mbt> It doesn't seem to want to get HTTP_Request, complaining about a file named '-'.  (Grr, I hate such filenames.)
[07:01] <Megaqwerty> svega85: there's a pretty cool trick to do that...hold on, it's a script I have...I'll paste it
[07:02] <svega85> ok thanks

[07:04] <Chad92> E: Package courier-authlib has no installation candidate
[07:04] <svega85> will this save to a regular text file?
[07:04] <Chad92> what repo can I find it in?
[07:04] <master_> he has a new dell with an 8600m and the install for ubuntu crashes everytime but i think its the video card anyway ubuntu ultimate says u can install using driver update CD how can i make one?
[07:04] <mbt> Chad92:  Section: universe/mail
[07:04] <Skrypt> I have two icons on my desktop, both point to my external hard drive... how do I remove one of them?
[07:04] <Chad92> mbt: what line should I put in?
[07:05] <svega85> Megaqwerty: will this save to a regular text file?
[07:05] <Skrypt> one disappears with the drive if I unmount it...
[07:05] <mbt> Chad92, Enable the Universe repository... so deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ NAMEOFDIST universe
[07:05] <mbt> err...
[07:05] <Chad92> I have it enabled
[07:05] <master_> he has a new dell with an 8600m and the install for ubuntu crashes everytime but i think its the video card anyway ubuntu ultimate says u can install using driver update CD how can i make one?
[07:05] <mbt> "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ NAMEOFDIST universe"
[07:05] <Megaqwerty> svega85: it will save to a file which is in .tar.gz format, which can be either played back using script.sh -p name or you can untar it, and see just the text
[07:05] <mbt> Chad92, What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[07:06] <Chad92> dapper
[07:06] <tondar> hey all
[07:06] <svega85> ok thanks
[07:06] <mbt> Hrm.  Don't know if it's there then, check out http://packages.ubuntu.org
[07:06] <mbt> err .com
[07:06] <tondar> I want to upgrade to gusty using the alternate cd
[07:06] <tondar> mounted the iso
[07:06] <mbt> Man I am full of typos tonight
[07:06] <tondar> what do I do now
[07:06] <Chad92> hmm
[07:06] <mbt> Chad92, I am running Feisty and I can say it's available for that, 'cuz it's in apt
[07:06] <Chad92> alright
[07:06] <Megaqwerty> svega85: when played back using the script, the timing is preserved, so it's just like watching you do the stuff in realtime. It's pretty cool.

[07:08] <Megaqwerty> svega85: you're welcome.

[07:19] <master_> OK so it says on the ubuntu ultimate DVD 1.4 install using update driver CD.... how do i make a CD with the updated driver on it like it requests.
[07:21] <SunsparcSolaris> totalnewbie, you mean a static network address?
[07:21] <SunsparcSolaris> master_, ditch Ultimate
[07:22] <totalnewbie> yes
[07:22] <SunsparcSolaris> totalnewbie, type "sudo network-admin" in the terminal
[07:22] <SunsparcSolaris> it'll bring up the GUI
[07:22] <totalnewbie> it has no gui
[07:22] <SunsparcSolaris> odd
[07:23] <SunsparcSolaris> try a "sudo apt-get install network-admin"
[07:23] <totalnewbie> it's a server
[07:23] <SunsparcSolaris> oh
[07:23] <mbt> Alright, I'm off.  G'nite everyone.
[07:23] <SunsparcSolaris> well I can help with that also :p
[07:23] <sparr> got pressure sensitivity working on the stylus in gimp...  and my roommate laid claim to the tablet :)
[07:23] <SunsparcSolaris> "sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces"
[07:23] <totalnewbie> ok
[07:23] <totalnewbie> what to type there
[07:23] <totalnewbie> ?
[07:23] <totalnewbie> :)
[07:23] <SunsparcSolaris> one moment
[07:24] <SunsparcSolaris> does it say DHCP?
[07:24] <AutumnCat> hello! Does ubuntu 7.04 support intel P35 chipset ?
[07:24] <SunsparcSolaris> totalnewbie,
[07:25] <SunsparcSolaris> totalnewbie, got it?
[07:25] <scipio> !hardware | AutumnCat
[07:25] <ubotu> AutumnCat: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[07:25] <totalnewbie> no
[07:25] <totalnewbie> it's a static

[07:26] <SunsparcSolaris> I assume you know what those are
[07:27] <totalnewbie> thanks
[07:27] <TJ__> i get the error Cant access tty; job control turned off and i get a command script
[07:27] <TJ__> when trying to boot ubuntu studio
[07:29] <JDLimbo> how do I enable SSL for irc?
[07:29] <SunsparcSolaris> star1, you might try this site. http://www.tjl2.com/sysadmin/ubuntu-logitech-cordless-optical-mouse.html
[07:29] <SunsparcSolaris> I havent personally tested it, but it might help
[07:30] <brian__> quick question... I want to be able to delete files from my windows partition... but its read only, and i cant change it by right clicking on the drive... how do i do this?
[07:30] <SunsparcSolaris> brian__, edit ro to rw in your fstab
[07:30] <SunsparcSolaris> and remoutn
[07:30] <SunsparcSolaris> remount*
[07:30] <brian__> let me try that sunsparc
[07:31] <SunsparcSolaris> Might I add on the line that the Windows parition is on, not all ro's in general ;)
[07:31] <TJ__> sunsparcsolaris can u help me out with my problem?
[07:31] <star1> SunsparcSolaris: Thanks for the link, but that's more for adding extra buttons; you'll see that at the end, he has the same problem as me: "If I ever figure out how to get the wheel tilt working, I'll update this how-to."
[07:32] <Skrypt> Two links on my desktop are pointing to my external hard drive. How do I remove one of them?
[07:32] <brian__> damn, where is the fstab?
[07:32] <SunsparcSolaris> star1, I just saw that :p
[07:32] <SunsparcSolaris> brian__, /etc/fstab
[07:32] <AutumnCat> scipio: the wiki shown the hardwards could not work well. If I didn't find my harward , dose i mean that my hardward is supported ?
[07:32] <SunsparcSolaris> TJ__, how can I help?
[07:32] <TJ__> i have ubuntu studio installed
[07:32] <therealnanotube> brian__: but... be careful if your partition is ntfs, writing to it from linux can screw it up. if it is fat32, then it's ok.
[07:32] <TJ__> set up dual boot with win xp
[07:32] <AutumnCat> scipio: the wiki shown the hardwards could not work well. If I didn't find my harward , dose it mean that my hardward is supported ?
[07:32] <TJ__> and when unbuntu is loading i get this in a command script
[07:33] <bulmer> brian__: try this   mount -o remount,rw /partition/you/want/remounted
[07:33] <brian__> ah
[07:33] <brian__> alright
[07:33] <SunsparcSolaris> TJ__, have you tried a reinstall?
[07:33] <TJ__> i get the error Cant access tty; job control turned off and i get a command script
[07:33] <gcarrillo> yo
[07:33] <Dynatron> i just deleted my /usr/share/icons directory using rm -rf...
[07:33] <scipio> AutumnCat: if it's not in the list it's not supported probably. you might try a search on the forums or even ask there.
[07:33] <Dynatron> by mistake :/
[07:34] <SunsparcSolaris> Dynatron, hope you have backup software installed on that dir
[07:34] <cellofellow> Which is faster, a 12x DVD, or a 40x CD? I am confused over the different numbering.
[07:34] <Dynatron> nope
[07:34] <SunsparcSolaris> Dynatron, up crap creek without a paddle then
[07:34] <Dynatron> probably gonna be a reinstall isn't it to recover
[07:34] <luite_> cellofellow: 12x
[07:34] <Skrypt> Two links on my desktop are pointing to my external hard drive. How do I remove one of them?
[07:34] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: heh well, my /usr/share/icons is only 92 megs.
[07:34] <SeveredCross> 12x DVD
[07:34] <cellofellow> luite_: ok. So is it about a 4:1?
[07:34] <SeveredCross> I believe so, yeah.
[07:34] <luite_> cellofellow: the base speed of dvd is about 8 times as fast as the base speed of cd
[07:34] <Dynatron> upload it to me :)
[07:35] <cellofellow> luite_: oh, ok
[07:35] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: got a server?
[07:35] <Dynatron> hmm
[07:35] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: where do you want me to upload?
[07:35] <AutumnCat> scipio: which list ? I found this -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMotherboardsIntelSocket775, and my motherboard is not in the list ?
[07:35] <Dynatron> let me see
[07:35] <Dynatron> one sec
[07:35] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: ok. while you are looking, i'll tar.gz the whole dir :)
[07:36] <Dynatron> thanks dude
[07:36] <leo_rockw> hello everyone
[07:36] <scipio> AutumnCat: like i said. if it's not in the list it isnt supported probably. or maybe it's very new. either way search for that model on the forums
[07:36] <AutumnCat> scipio: ok
[07:37] <scipio> AutumnCat: or download the cd and boot the livecd. you won't have to install anything and you can check what is working and what not
[07:37] <brian__> so my drive i am mounting is NSTF... editing info on this drive is running a major risk?
[07:37] <leo_rockw> today's gutsy update changed something in my sound configuration. now when i plug the headphones on the speakers don't mute. anybody knows anything about this?
[07:37] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: no prob. :) it's tar.bz2-ing as we speak.
[07:37] <Bakefy> how do i get amarok to refresh the new directory of music, and stop using the old music directory?  I made the change, but it wont take effect.
[07:37] <scipio> !ntfs-3g | brian__
[07:37] <ubotu> brian__: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[07:38] <brian__> thanks scipio
[07:38] <leo_rockw> it never happened on feisty before. whenever i plugged the headphones in the speakers used to mute.
[07:38] <Zombie> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34757/ Help?
[07:38] <AutumnCat> scipio: i'm going to buy a new computer , so i have to make sure whether the chipset is supported
[07:39] <scipio> AutumnCat: then i'm afraid google is your best friend at this point :)
[07:39] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: ok, it's only 27.7 mb in tar.bz2
[07:39] <Dynatron> therealnanotube ok
[07:39] <joelliot> joelliot
[07:39] <therealnanotube> hey, can anyone else get to mozilla.com? their site seems to be down...
[07:39] <AutumnCat> scipio: i searched google and i didn't found any useful message ..
[07:40] <leo_rockw> therealnanotube, i could
[07:40] <therealnanotube> leo_rockw: just now?
[07:40] <leo_rockw> therealnanotube, just now, and very fast
[07:41] <therealnanotube> leo_rockw: hmm... strange... i can't seem to make it, it just stays at "waiting for www.mozilla.com" and doesn't go anywhere..
[07:41] <star1> Does anyone here know any simple way for me to make it so that when I double click on the icon in the top left of a window, it closes the window?  For whatever reason, this is one of the few things from Windows that I really pine for, so having it would be awesome.
[07:41] <therealnanotube> leo_rockw: mozilla.org works fine... but not .com
[07:41] <leo_rockw> therealnanotube, i tried with ff and opera... both can open .com w.o a problem
[07:41] <therealnanotube> star1: hehe, i was trying to find that out a year ago myself - and i found that it's not possible in gnome... :(
[07:42] <therealnanotube> leo_rockw: hmm, well... thanks. could be some isp problem on my side, i guess...
[07:42] <leo_rockw> star1, you can with kde
[07:42] <star1> therealnanotube: Crud, that really sucks.  Oh well, it's not that big of a deal
[07:42] <leo_rockw> therealnanotube, np
[07:42] <star1> leo_rockw: Interesting... I might just have to get kubuntu on here, then :P
[07:42] <therealnanotube> star1: heh that's what i ended up saying. ;)
[07:42] <scipio> star1: if you are using beryl there are certain themes that have different locations for buttong. right now i'm using one that has the close button in the top left corner. other than that no ideas
[07:42] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: so, got any place for me to upload?
[07:43] <intelikey> howto turn down the backlight on a lappy  ???
[07:43] <Dynatron> yea
[07:44] <Dynatron> i sent you the info in a PM
[07:44] <leo_rockw> latest gutsy update separated speakers and headphones into two different things and i can't mute one without muting the otherone, any help on this? (HDA soundcard)
[07:44] <therealnanotube> intelikey: there should be a key on your kb that controls that... like fn-arrowdown (on my dell)
[07:44] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: let me know if you see the info
[07:44] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: didn't get it. are you registered? non-registered users can't pm...
[07:44] <Dynatron> oh i see
[07:44] <wit_273> I just updated to Gusty Gibbon and now I do not have the title bar along the top of my windows.  Does anyone know how to get that back?
[07:44] <Skrypt> TomB_, do you have any involvement with EVE-Online?
[07:44] <Dynatron> i guess i'm not reg
[07:45] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: let me pm you my email address so you can email it to me
[07:45] <Dynatron> ok
[07:45] <leo_rockw> wit_273, are you using beryl/compiz?
[07:45] <TomB_> Skrypt, no
[07:45] <wit_273> compiz but it doesn't matter whether I have it running or not I still do not hve the title bar
[07:45] <randy026> how do I get in to the compiz settings?
[07:46] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: got my pm?
[07:46] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: yes i see it
[07:46] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: got my email?
[07:46] <leo_rockw> wit_273, ok... then idk (i asked because it is a common compiz problem)
[07:46] <therealnanotube> Dynatron:  i mean, my email address, in the pm? :)
[07:47] <Ben_Cs> hello
[07:47] <wit_273> What is the solution in compiz?
[07:47] <wit_273> That may solve my problem
[07:47] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: ok it's sent
[07:47] <randy026> Can anyone help me i have no window decorations
[07:47] <leo_rockw> wit_273, beats me, i don't use eye candy, but i'm aware there's a problem with compiz that makes your top bar disappear
[07:47] <Ben_Cs> does: apt-get install <package> , reinstalls a package if it is installed already, or only installs new packages?
[07:48] <leo_rockw> Ben_Cs, only installs new packages
[07:48] <leo_rockw> Ben_Cs, apt-get install --reinstall
[07:49] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: ok, i connected. starting upload?
[07:49] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: yes i got your PM, and i got your email. I emailed you the ftp username and info
[07:49] <Dynatron> sure
[07:50] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: yea sure start it :)
[07:50] <Ben_Cs> leo_rockw: then i have a problem. i restarted my comp, and gnome would stuck in loading (before restart it was fine). it's stuck after addintional reboots aswell. so i did: sudo apt-get install gnome , and it installed it. could feisty, remove gnome by itself?!
[07:50] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: started it. my ftp client claims that it will be about 10 mins.
[07:50] <therealnanotube> do you see the file in there?
[07:50] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: ok cool man, thanks alot. Without you doing this it's pretty much a new install lol
[07:51] <Ben_Cs> the reinstallation of gnome didn't help
[07:51] <leo_rockw> Ben_Cs, i don't think so. that's pretty weird
[07:51] <Freeman77> hi
[07:51] <leo_rockw> Ben_Cs, do you get any error?
[07:51] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: hehe yea... that would kinda suck. :) though i guess it may be possible to extract that directory out of the install cd somehow...
[07:51] <n00dl3> Ben_Cs: Should of seen why it was "stuck" o.O
[07:51] <Ben_Cs> does anybody know about the problem, when loading gnome - i get a beige screen with white rectangle at top left corner?
[07:51] <Dynatron> therealnantube: yea somehow most likely
[07:52] <n00dl3> Ben_Cs: How did you install gnome?
[07:52] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: and... i hope you learned a lesson from this: regular backups are a must. :) though i admit that i don't back up the system directories myself, just the /home and the /etc...
[07:52] <Ben_Cs> leo_rockw: not as far as i can see
[07:52] <tritoch> what could i use to backup my current configuration, maybe image the drive in an easy to restore way?
[07:53] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: i also wiped out my entire /home directory too. I'm not sure how the command rm -rf /home/stephen/cedega wiped out my entire home directory..
[07:53] <Ben_Cs> n00dl3: with the default feisty install
[07:54] <therealnanotube> tritoch: i use rdiff-backup to make my backups... but i suppose you could also just use tar, or image the drive with dd
[07:54] <jerryrighter> how do i check and see how much vid ram i have on my laptop?
[07:54] <xjkx> How do I share a printer with windows 98 ?
[07:54] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: well, if you accidentally typed a space after home, it would do that. eg, if you typed "rm -rf /home /stephen/cedega" or "rm -rf /home/ stephen/cedega"
[07:54] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: i think you might consider avoiding the 'rm -rf' command entirely, given your bad luck with it. :)
[07:55] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: yea i guess it's late and i probably made a typo
[07:55] <leo_rockw> Dynatron, next time use tabs autocomplete
[07:55] <Ben_Cs> n00dl3, leo_rockw: alt-ctrl-F8 shows it is in : running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ok]  , and the nothing...
[07:55] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: it's a better practice to /first/ cd to the directory, and /then/ delete it using a relative path. ie, "cd /home/stephen; rm -rf ./cedega"
[07:55] <therealnanotube> leo_rockw: yea, that's a good point, too. :)
[07:56] <zobohobodog> could anyone help me out live to get a wifi card working on my laptop?  have gone through forum suggestions and not getting anywhere.  Linksys WPC54GS.  have done ndiswrapper etc ...
[07:56] <Bakefy> any good suggestions for an mp3 player (like ipod) that works with amarok really well?
[07:56] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: yea i just did a slocate on cedega and started removing all the matches
[07:57] <Chad92> ok, so I have prevu installed
[07:57] <Ben_Cs> how can i see what uotput is there when gnome loads?
[07:57] <Chad92> and I try the command:
[07:57] <justonian> I'm a pretty new linux user, I did a fresh install of ubuntu 7.04 feisty on an amd64 duo, with all the whistles (beryl, applets etc), has anybody had issues with it becoming unstable and crashing?  I have to do a hard-reset, keyboard, mouse, and screen lockup frequently
[07:57] <Chad92> prevu courier-authlib
[07:58] <Chad92> and it asks me if I am sure it exists
[07:58] <bulmer> zobohobodog: which chip is on that wpc54gs?
[07:58] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: heh i see. in that case, the tab-autocomplete, as leo_rockw said, is your friend. also, if you are sure you are removing all matches, xargs is your friend. you could have "locate cedega | xargs -I'{}' rm -rf {}" would automatically remove all matches found by locate
[07:58] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: OH...i knew there must have been a way to just remove all matches from locate
[07:59] <therealnanotube> justonian: could be due to beryl (most likely). try running with regular metacity wm without beryl, and see if it still crashes...
[07:59] <Slor> Hi folks.
[07:59] <leo_rockw> hey Slor
[07:59] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: hehe, yea... fancy command line tricks are the key. ;)
[07:59] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: i gotta read the man pages for Xargs then
[07:59] <justonian> therealnanotube: I thought the same thing, I've tried turning off beryl, and still run into the same issues.  I've checked syslog, and the only suspicious message I get is something about the nvidia driver tainting the kernel
[07:59] <therealnanotube> Chad92: w00t. :)
[07:59] <Chad92> eh.  more time wasted, in my eyes
[07:59] <zobohobodog> bulmer: just a second, let me see if I can figure that out
[08:00] <justonian> it seems this issue is quite common for feisty users running 7.04 :(, and unfortunately google didn't turn out much help
[08:00] <therealnanotube> justonian: hrm... i guess you could try running on the open source nv driver to see what happens? if the crashes stop, you at least narrow it down to the video driver.
[08:00] <Ben_Cs> how can i see what output is there when gnome loads?
[08:00] <leo_rockw> is anybody with gutsy here with sound problems since the last upgrade?
[08:00] <justonian> therealnanotube:  I'll give that a shot, thanks nano
[08:00] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: yea, man xargs helps, probably even more helpful would be an "xargs tutorial" search on google. ;)
[08:01] <Slor> Just need a quick recommendation - I have a machine with dual P3-550 procs and 512MB RAM that I want to use primarily for internet services (ssh, ftp, maybe web, mail, etc.) and would also like to have at least basic local graphical desktop.  What distro might be best suited as "mostly server with some desktop" installation on that hardware?
[08:01] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: ok cool.
[08:01] <therealnanotube> justonian: no prob. good luck :)
[08:01] <SeveredCross> Slor: You can get ubuntu server edition and then install xubuntu on top of that?
[08:01] <OsahZ> omgoshomgosh i love ubuntu
[08:01] <odd> okay. sorry to ask again, but i think I timed out.  Anyone know anything about cuecat?
[08:01] <srinivas> #ltp
[08:01] <justonian> oh nifty, there is a petition out on the web to have nvidia release their driver open source because it is causing lots of system crashes hehe
[08:01] <leo_rockw> OsahZ, don't we all?
[08:01] <SeveredCross> That way you get the server-oriented packages of Ubuntu Server Edition + the light Xubuntu desktop.
[08:01] <OsahZ> hey can someone tell me will i have trouble installing ubuntu on a hard-drive on which Vista is installed
[08:01] <bulmer> Ben_Cs: you mean during boot? you can see it via ctrl+alt+f1  while booting
[08:02] <faileas> Slor: Ubuntu server or alternate installer, then add on what ya need
[08:02] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: ooh, ok, transfer complete! check out that tar.bz2 file, see if it opens...
[08:02] <Dynatron> therealnanotube doing it now
[08:02] <stax_tb> Slor: i'd say debian
[08:02] <faileas> OsahZ: use vista's own repartitioner to repartition then install ubuntu...
[08:02] <OsahZ> hey can someone tell me will i have trouble installing ubuntu on a hard-drive on which Vista is installed -- also i am looking to install it (make a new parition) and have that bootload let me choose an OS
[08:02] <OsahZ> failes: i would like both OS :O possiblle?
[08:02] <Ben_Cs> bulmer: ctrl-alt-f1 shows login screen
[08:02] <Slor> Server Edition + xbuntu = just adding the xfce packages to SE?
[08:03] <faileas> OsahZ: yes. do NOT use gparted to partition, and read the instructions in the installer VERY carefully.
[08:03] <intelikey> so is there not any way inside ubuntu to dim the backlight ?      i've tried all key combos and nothing seems to help ?
[08:03] <faileas> you'll be find like that
[08:03] <therealnanotube> Slor: i'd say freebsd or openbsd. with a lightweight desktop like xfce, or maybe openbox/fluxbox
[08:03] <faileas> *fine
[08:03] <OsahZ> faileas: how would i access Vistas partitioner --
[08:03] <bulmer> Ben_Cs: yes, but during boot, everything that is happening is piped to that console, including at the time gnome is loaded
[08:03] <OsahZ> faileas: any run command?
[08:03] <faileas> OsahZ: IIRC its part of the hard drive maintainance snapin...
[08:03] <suupaabaka> I resized my NTFS partition and made an extended ext3 partition for storage purposes... but it's set read only. How do I gain access to it and have it mount on login?
[08:04] <leo_rockw> intelikey, in KDE i use a powermanager app that lets me dim the light w/o using the keyboard shortcut
[08:04] <Slor> At least for now, I'd like to narrow to *ubuntu distros.
[08:04] <SeveredCross> suupaabaka: Edit /etc/fstab, make the options for the parition have rw
[08:04] <therealnanotube> suupaabaka: edit the fstab
[08:04] <Slor> Also, what is the best version to get now - the latest?
[08:04] <therealnanotube> !fstab | suupaabaka
[08:04] <ubotu> suupaabaka: 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
[08:04] <SeveredCross> Slor: Re Server edition + xubuntu = xfce packages, that's a yes.
[08:04] <suupaabaka> Thanks guys!!
[08:04] <SeveredCross> Installing xubuntu-desktop just pulls all the needed xfce packages at once.
[08:04] <suupaabaka> !fstab
[08:04] <therealnanotube> Slor: oh, in that case, go for xubuntu.
[08:04] <Slor> gotcah - thanks severedcross
[08:05] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: hmm for some reason, it won't extract
[08:05] <Slor> gotcha even
[08:05] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: what's it say?
[08:05] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: what's your md5sum on it?
[08:05] <faileas> Slor: I tend to use 6.06 LTS server on my servers.. thats the LTS.My GUIed Terminal server (VM) is running on Feisty. both seem pretty good
[08:06] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: my local copy md5sums to "4a50f2499a6a4f42d05d1d68ba20f898"
[08:06] <Slor> anything major missing from 6.06 compared to current releases?
[08:06] <OsahZ> faileas: i got to the poi9nt of 'Disk Management' i cant seem to find Create new partition button tho
[08:06] <therealnanotube> Slor: i'd go for feisty. while dapper is 'long term support', a lot of the software in the dapper repos is getting long in the tooth...
[08:06] <Slor> that's what I was wondering.
[08:07] <faileas> hmm
[08:07] <faileas> OsahZ: ask in #windows ;)
[08:07] <faileas> I can't remember, and i used Gparted (and had issues ><)
[08:07] <Slor> I have actually used xubuntu 6.06.1 before, and it seems like I might be missing out on some of the newer stuff.
[08:07] <leo_rockw> does anybody know how do i go about muting the speakers when i plug in the headphones?
[08:07] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: not sure, but once i extract using the bunzip2 command it creates a tar file,fine. Then i use tar -xvf and it starts to extract, once near the end it exists with tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[08:07] <Slor> Only thing that concerns me is if the newer version brings any new bloat...
[08:07] <Slor> :)
[08:07] <SeveredCross> Dynatron: Try sudo tar
[08:08] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: hmm, can you try opening it with the archive manager?
[08:08] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: and try running the md5sum on it, just to make sure file transferred without corruption
[08:08] <Ben_Cs> sudenly (didn't change anything) today, after reboot, gnome wont load. (the gdm does load), please help!
[08:08] <Dynatron> therealnanotube i did that first, it failed and said that it didn't contain the files
[08:09] <suupaabaka> If my extended partition and its ext3 partition (sda5 and sda4 respectively) aren't listed in the fstab, should I add them?
[08:09] <Dynatron> therealnanotube: i'll be honest, i don't see the md5sum file in the ftp dir and i've never run one
[08:09] <suupaabaka> Err, sda4=extended, sda5=ext3
[08:10] <OsahZ> Did anyone read the book "Just for Fun" Story of Linus Torvalds
[08:10] <OsahZ> amazing and fun book guys its 1.50 on amazon
[08:10] <echelon3> buy me a copy
[08:10] <GNine> do we have software to play realplayer content (without realplayer)
[08:10] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: well, you're supposed to /create/ the md5sum from the file. just run "md5sum icons.tar.bz2" and it will spit out the sum. then you can compare to mine.
[08:10] <OsahZ> Gnine -- did u try VLC (Video Lan Player)
[08:11] <OsahZ> it can usually play everything almost for me
[08:11] <GNine> not yet
[08:11] <GNine> :)
[08:13] <therealnanotube> Dynatron: any luck?
[08:13] <suupaabaka> Wow... my fstab is scary.
[08:13] <Slor> Oh, one other question - does ubuntu include a decent graphical interface for managing the bind DNS server?  Even if I have to run Gnome to do it...
[08:14] <therealnanotube> Slor: search in synaptic... :) but basically, if it exists, and it's open source, it will be in the repos. :)
[08:14] <SanityInAnarchy> I have a CPIO archive which seems to be corrupt -- it seems to die at a file which is more than 4 gigs. I wonder if this is recoverable?

[08:19] <OsahZ> failes: I want to develop linux software -- i have been a MS Developer 6yrs -- do you recommend any specific distro -- would ubuntu be a good start -- 'kubuntu'
[08:19] <mamoulian> ubuntu is good start
[08:20] <therealnanotube> suupaabaka: yes. :)
[08:20] <therealnanotube> !uuid
[08:20] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)

[08:20] <LinuxProbie> Hey, how do I install shockwave?
[08:20] <justonian> and beryl is simply amaaaazing looking
[08:20] <GNine> am not a guru.. matter of fact.. i just started using ubuntu since last week..  i did use wubi for its installation but am far from being able to answer technical questions
[08:21] <GNine> sorry if i mislead you
[08:21] <defrysk> !wubi
[08:21] <suupaabaka> justonian: Beryl has been discontinued. Compiz-fusion is the successor.
[08:21] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[08:21] <TJ__> ahhhh
[08:21] <TJ__> ok
[08:21] <LinuxProbie> !shockwave
[08:21] <ubotu> Shockwave is currently only available for Windows. To run it under !Wine, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Shockwave
[08:21] <suupaabaka> justonian: It's purrrdy ;)
[08:21] <therealnanotube> OsahZ: ubuntu would be as good a start as any.

[08:25] <OsahZ> Freeman77: I think just type in 'sudo passwd root'
[08:25] <unknown_ninja> my wireless is listed on iwconfig as etho how do I get it to be wlao?
[08:25] <OsahZ> and it lets you set a password
[08:25] <TJ__> gnine how long did it take u to install ubuntu?
[08:25] <OsahZ> How long does it take to install ubuntu -- i cant wait =/
[08:25] <OsahZ> It did not let me select any packages -- is that normal
[08:25] <therealnanotube> unknown_ninja: why do you care what the device name is?
[08:26] <therealnanotube> OsahZ: shouldn't be more than about a half hour...
[08:26] <therealnanotube> OsahZ: depending on system specs, etc...

[08:27] <leo_rockw> hello everyone
[08:27] <unknown_ninja> therealnanotube: I can't figure out why my wireless isn't working so I presumed it had something to do with that
[08:27] <Freeman77> wtf there's no root account
[08:27] <therealnanotube> leo_rockw: hey, you're back. :)
[08:27] <greg> install took about an hour
[08:27] <GNine> mind you, i had no previous experience with it.. but i got hooked on it ...
[08:27] <therealnanotube> unknown_ninja: ah... well the device name doesn't really matter. there's must be something else afoot.
[08:27] <leo_rockw> therealnanotube, yup... i booted w/ another kernel... my sound problem is related to the new kernel... should i file a bug report?
[08:28] <greg> Freeman77: sure there is a "root account"   it just doesn't have a password
[08:28] <TJ__> freak i dont think anyone can help me with my error :(
[08:28] <Ben_Cs> please, anyone?
[08:28] <shekhar> hello can someone help me configure fstab so it mounts my phone on usb whenever i plug it in?
[08:28] <Johnuah> Can any one tell me that if ubuntu could support printer or not? HP 1022n
[08:28] <therealnanotube> leo_rockw: hm, yea, i think filing a report on launchpad couldn't hurt. that's what gutsy is all about now, getting out the bugs.
[08:28] <unknown_ninja> after reading differnt forum sqwak I've come to the conclusion I'm already on the wron path
[08:28] <GNine> tty.. isnt that some networking error...?

[08:29] <therealnanotube> unknown_ninja: hmm, well, my wifi worked out of the box... so i really don't know much about fixing wireless problems...
[08:30] <therealnanotube> willofthewisp_tm: don't request a url, and it won't output anything. :)
[08:30] <Deags> hello everyone so im putting together a webserver and i was wondering about installing php i did a sudo apt-cache search php and there r too many i am not really sure which one i need any ideas?
[08:30] <unknown_ninja> therealnanotube: how do I do the thingy that hightlights names address to you?
[08:30] <willofthewisp_tm> well I mean, wget just uses -q parameter
[08:30] <therealnanotube> !lamp | Deags
[08:30] <ubotu> Deags: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[08:30] <TJ__> should i reinstall ubuntu???
[08:30] <Johnuah> Can any one tell me if ubuntu could support printer or not? HP 1022n??
[08:30] <ultra_> yes
[08:31] <dfwlinuxguy> !cups
[08:31] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with CUPS. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[08:31] <Deags> ty ill read that
[08:31] <cafuego> Johnuah: http://www.linux-printing.org/ has a database you can query, it will tell you.
[08:31] <Johnuah> thank you all
[08:31] <therealnanotube> willofthewisp_tm: hmm, what does 'man curl' say? (i don't have curl installed, so can't man it for you...)
[08:31] <shekhar> hello can someone help me configure fstab so it mounts my phone on usb whenever i plug it in?
[08:31] <mike8901> Is native macbook pro support comming in the next release?
[08:32] <greg> shekhar: fstab doesn't work that way.
[08:32] <Miso> Can ubuntu extract rar files?
[08:32] <therealnanotube> !rar | miso
[08:32] <ubotu> miso: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[08:32] <cafuego> Yes, use `unrar'
[08:32] <Miso> thanks
[08:32] <greg> !rar > Miso
[08:32] <suupaabaka> justonian Hold on a tic.
[08:32] <therealnanotube> Miso: "sudo apt-get install unrar" should do it, i think
[08:32] <willofthewisp_tm> I'm trying to run curl command by accessing a certain url. Is there a way that it would not output a file?
[08:33] <shekhar> greg:  why is it that when i ran the ubuntu live cd it automatically recognised and mounted the device, but not in the default installation? do i need to configure hotplug or udev or something?
[08:33] <Miso> thanks
[08:33] <greg> ooops sorry i lag
[08:33] <Deags> is there a really quick command to figure out exactly which version of ubuntu i have?
[08:33] <dfwlinuxguy> lsb_version -a
[08:33] <therealnanotube> Deags:  cat /etc/lsb-release
[08:33] <suupaabaka> justonian: Take a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Fbk52Mk1w
[08:33] <tritium> Deags: lsb__releas -a
[08:33] <tritium> lsb_release -a, that is
[08:34] <greg> shekhar: becaues the device was plugged in when you started the livecd    and the cd is configured to "search for file systems"
[08:34] <Deags> ty
[08:34] <Eviltronic> Hello. I'm kinda new to ubuntu. I was just wondering if there is a way to change refresh rate. I have radeon 9550 and i have installed drivers just when i change to higher resolution i can not change the refresh rate... Just about 60... but my monitor supports refresh rate up to 120
[08:34] <totalnewbie> where to set dns server?
[08:34] <dfwlinuxguy> /etc/resolv.conf
[08:35] <therealnanotube> !refresh
[08:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about refresh - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:35] <suupaabaka> eviltronic: Open up a terminal, and type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:35] <therealnanotube> !xorg
[08:35] <ubotu> The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto

[08:35] <ubotu> Eviltronic: please see above
[08:35] <shekhar> greg:  the device was not plugged in when i started the live CD... anyway can you guide me to what i can do to have the phone mount when it's plugged in?
[08:35] <Eviltronic> thnx
[08:35] <greg> shekhar: i'm not telling you that ubuntu can't do that,  i'm telling you that fstab is read when the mount command is issued     and unless something issues the command then simply plugging in a device wont get it mounted   whether it's in fstab or not.
[08:35] <shekhar> greg:  right
[08:36] <musikgoat|laptop> is ncurses a part of another package?  build-essential?
[08:36] <shekhar> greg:  strangely though the live CD does this, it shows the phone with an iPod icon
[08:36] <therealnanotube> shekhar: hm, well, if it mounted under livecd, then it's clearly possible to do that. ;) at least that's a good sign.
[08:36] <Freeman77> man
[08:36] <cafuego> libncurses5-dev
[08:36] <totalnewbie> dfwlinuxguy looks like this file is empty
[08:36] <musikgoat|laptop> thanks cafuego
[08:36] <Freeman77> this privileged user model is sketchy
[08:36] <greg> shekhar: and i don't know enough about gnome/ubuntu to tell you what kind of automount system it's using.
[08:36] <totalnewbie> how to fill it?
[08:37] <shekhar> therealnanotube:  i'm chasing after signs! been trying to figure this out
[08:37] <therealnanotube> !sudo | Freeman77
[08:37] <ubotu> Freeman77: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:37] <dfwlinuxguy> nameserver ip.address.of.dns.server
[08:37] <shekhar> greg:  okay
[08:37] <Freeman77> i found it nano, thanks
[08:37] <fifth-element> plz tell me the command for changing leftmargin in latex
[08:37] <Freeman77> therealnanotube: i just have difficulty with the security model that's all
[08:37] <totalnewbie> give me an example please
[08:37] <therealnanotube> shekhar: heh yea, sorry, but i'm not well versed in the automount. the stuff just works for me, so i never had to dig into it.
[08:38] <Freeman77> therealnanotube: now instead of protecting my root account i have to protect my user account - and that's something that i run with all the time
[08:38] <dfwlinuxguy> i just did
[08:38] <greg> Freeman77: while i totally agree with you.  if you don't want bit don't yank that dog's chain.
[08:38] <totalnewbie> dfwlinuxguy what if i only have the ip address?
[08:38] <dfwlinuxguy> that's what you are supposed to use
[08:38] <dfwlinuxguy> nameserver ip.address.
[08:38] <Freeman77> is there any way of getting rid of it
[08:38] <totalnewbie> just type the ip?
[08:38] <dfwlinuxguy> yes
[08:38] <Freeman77> i'd prefer just to type in a root password
[08:39] <totalnewbie> thanks
[08:39] <dfwlinuxguy> np
[08:39] <therealnanotube> Freeman77: heh well... it's not about protecting your account, but about protecting your password. under the "root" system, you need to protect the root password, under the "sudo" system, you need to protect the user password. but... in the end, you only need to protect one password.
[08:39] <Freeman77> two passwords is better than one, imo
[08:39] <therealnanotube> Freeman77: but... iirc, there's a way to set sudo to ask for root password instead of user... i just don't recall offhand where to go look
[08:39] <dfwlinuxguy> sudo passwd root     and away you go
[08:39] <GNine> sounds like ur not the only user then
[08:40] <Freeman77> dfwlinuxguy: is it that simple? what about disabling the 'privileged user' nonsense
[08:40] <OsahZ> hey guys i installed kubuntu woohoo
[08:40] <greg> Freeman77: you can edit the sudoers file in /etc/ if you know anything about it.    and you can set a strong root password  if you like.
[08:40] <tritium> Freeman77: there are very good reasons for using sudo.  It's not nonsense.
[08:40] <therealnanotube> Freeman77: also, you could remove your user from the "admin" group (and thus remove your sudo privileges), and create another user who'd have sudo privileges....
[08:40] <Freeman77> alright sounds good guys, thanks
[08:40] <therealnanotube> OsahZ: cool. :)
[08:40] <_ergo_> hello, are there any trusted repositories for ubuntu ?
[08:40] <justonian> suupaabaka, I think I just sexed myself, nice youtube video and I'm off to remove beryl and install compiz :)
[08:41] <suupaabaka> justonian: Hehe... I'm waiting for a stable release.
[08:41] <Freeman77> tritium: i can understand that some may like it, but it doesn't work for me
[08:41] <justonian> they label a release as stable
[08:41] <huaplee> 
[08:41] <leo_rockw> OsahZ, yes another KDE user :-D
[08:41] <tritium> Freeman77: and that's fine :)
[08:41] <iblicf_> hello.,, how to deal with "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" when i use "dist-upgrade" ?
[08:41] <totalnewbie> what i have to set to make my inet run?
[08:42] <OsahZ> hey guys when i click  'enable eth1 -- it enables for a second and disables'
[08:42] <OsahZ> i cant connect to wifi :(
[08:42] <huaplee> my audio card can't work now
[08:42] <leo_rockw> OsahZ, what are you using? knetworkmanager?
[08:42] <kruck> I'm having a funky problem with my wireless. I installed the drivers and everything fine, but it connects sometimes. Basically, it will be connected to my wireless network only occasionally on startup. If it isn't then I have to change some settings, then change them back before it will connect. This isn't so much of a problem, however randomly during use it will drop connection, and I have to keep on doing this. Not only this
[08:42] <justonian> suupaabaka, I take that back, looks like just Compiz stable, but not fusion, think I'll wait too :)
[08:42] <greg> Freeman77: be advised tho   that because of the "modle" that ubuntu is built on, some things can be ran from the root account dirrectly.    "i know it sounds stupid."
[08:42] <suupaabaka> justonian: Yep. Can't wait, though ;)
[08:42] <justonian> same!
[08:43] <Freeman77> i'm trying to get SELinux working to circumvent that
[08:43] <totalnewbie> i set my ip and dns but i still cant run my inet
[08:43] <LikwidSteel> Hey, I'm trying to get ubuntu on my pc, does you image have to be in iso format?
[08:43] <Zombie> Hello?
[08:43] <Zombie> Does anyone have a working TV out configuration for an i810?
[08:43] <onetwothree> Can someone help me setup my wifi
[08:43] <onetwothree> i have a linksys wireless card
[08:44] <LikwidSteel> can anyone help me setup ubuntu?
[08:44] <leo_rockw> LikwidSteel, you have to burn the iso as an image, not the ISO file into a CD
[08:44] <riotkittie> LikwidSteel: what kind of help do you need?
[08:44] <LikwidSteel> oKay
[08:45] <kruck> does anyone know a different wireless client I can use instead of the Fiesty default?
[08:45] <onetwothree> Someone please help me setup Wireless internet -- i have a linksys wifi card -- when i enable the device it disables right again :/
[08:45] <leo_rockw> LikwidSteel, if you get a CD with just the ISO file you did it wrong.
[08:45] <LikwidSteel> what program should i use? poweriso?
[08:45] <riotkittie> kruck > whats wrong with the default?
[08:45] <fifth-element> command for adjusting left margin in latex
[08:45] <leo_rockw> LikwidSteel, i used nero
[08:45] <kruck> onetwothree: you need to install the firmware (i think) that is what happens with mine
[08:45] <riotkittie> i used nero too :D
[08:45] <dudu> The aMlue is so slowly
[08:45] <LikwidSteel> okay
[08:46] <kruck> Riotkittie, this is my previous msg: I'm having a funky problem with my wireless. I installed the drivers and everything fine, but it connects sometimes. Basically, it will be connected to my wireless network only occasionally on startup. If it isn't then I have to change some settings, then change them back before it will connect. This isn't so much of a problem, however randomly during use it will drop connection, and I have
[08:46] <Beta-guy> is there an ISO image I can download of Ubuntu 7.10 for the PS3?
[08:46] <riotkittie> but really, use whatever you're comfortable with... granted it burns images
[08:47] <riotkittie> kruck > are you using a wireless card with native support, or did you go the ndiswrapper route?
[08:47] <LikwidSteel> wouldn't luinux on your ps3 mes it up?
[08:47] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, i googled ubuntu ps3 and i got installation tutorials
[08:47] <kruck> nope, it is bcm43xx. I didn't use NDISwrapper, I used something else, IIRC it was a download off of ubuntu forums in .deb
[08:47] <GNine> u could mess up anything.. but u can also find ways of using linux on the xbox
[08:47] <leo_rockw> LikwidSteel, why would it mess it up?
[08:47] <therealnanotube> justonian: most of those effects in the video are available with beryl, too. (the ones i didn't see in beryl were the expo, the fire paint, and the add helper)
[08:48] <kruck> i tried using NDISwrapper to start with it and it didn't actually make the wireless card work
[08:48] <Beta-guy> leo_rockw: I have 7.04 installed but I was wondering if there was an image of the unstable Ubuntu version
[08:48] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, oh, ok... that i don't know... i have a gamecube, lol
[08:48] <riotkittie> wireless issues make me want to drink. and i'm lousy at solving them for the most part, sorry :P
[08:49] <dariuskane> Beta-guy, the tribe 5 of gutsy is comming out tomorrow
[08:49] <riotkittie> although i should try ndiswrapper. but. ugh.
[08:49] <Nubbie> Beta-guy: Gutsy is still alpha, but there are images available.
[08:49] <kruck> I'm guessing it is the wireless client or the piece of s*** BThomehub router, which has caused problems in the past
[08:49] <onetwothree> Hey i have trouble with my Wifi -- it is configuring the device -- but it never configures it
[08:49] <onetwothree> its stuck on 28% all the time
[08:49] <DSpair> Well, I appear to be kinda stable up on Gutsy... Only problem is that I still can't get Xrandr to work.
[08:49] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3
[08:49] <Beta-guy> nubbie: for PS3? where? I'll wait for tomorrow
[08:49] <kruck> you know another wireless client i can install through apt-get?
[08:49] <Flannel> DSpair: #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy support, thanks
[08:50] <dudu> How can make the aMule fast?
[08:50] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, at the botton you have information on gutsy for the ps3
[08:50] <dariuskane> I just loaded gutsy today... it has issues but no showstoppers
[08:50] <Nubbie> Beta-guy: oh for ps3? i don't think ubuntu is supporting the PPC architecture anymore.
[08:50] <Beta-guy> NOOOOOOOOooooooooo...........
[08:50] <Nubbie> Beta-guy: that is what the PS3 uses is it not?
[08:50] <sauvin> Why would they drop that?'
[08:50] <riotkittie> nm-manager-gnome [which i *believe* is the default in 7.04]  has always been good to me. on my laptop, at least.  i cant use it on my desktop, thanks to my stupid adapter.
[08:50] <Nubbie> because nobody makes PPC computers any more?
[08:51] <Beta-guy> PowerPC6 I believe is what the Cell processor is called
[08:51] <leo_rockw> well, on the link i provided they seem to want people to test gutsy on ps3... so it should work
[08:51] <riotkittie> sauvin > because PPC users are a dying breed? perhaps there arent enough capable... or interested developers?
[08:51] <riotkittie> maybe they feel their energy is better spent elsewhere
[08:51] <kruck> atm I have stolen the ethernet cable from my desktop, been using this all night cos the wireless kept dropping while I was installing Beryl
[08:51] <Nubbie> it's weird though, my desktop motherboard has a chip on it that says cell processor, but it's a AMD board lol.
[08:52] <Martin__> Hi everybody. I got a html-mail with an picture in it. How can I export it from evolution?
[08:52] <Martin__> Content-Type: image/jpeg; x-mac-type=4A504547; x-unix-mode=0644; x-mac-creator=3842494D; name=tilman.jpg
[08:52] <Martin__> Content-Disposition: inline; filename=tilman.jpg
[08:52] <kahrytan> Martin__, use thunderhird
[08:52] <riotkittie> i'm tempted to yank the ethernet cable from my router :|  but... i'm running a hotspot :P and kinda have to keep it on.
[08:52] <kahrytan> thunderbird
[08:52] <Beta-guy> why is Ubuntu dropping PPC support with the release of the PS3?
[08:52] <openedu> I have an existing installation that I would like to preserve.  I would, however, like to have the root file system on a RAID-1 partition.
[08:52] <Martin__> kahrytan, I won't install thunderbird for a single mail
[08:53] <dezmin> I want to get the 'font string' for Dejavu San Mono 11 (my preferred editor font) for use with emacs. i try to select it with xfontsel but can only select size 12 (which also makes the font bold and italic). what do i do?
[08:53] <kahrytan> Martin__, Thunderbird is better then evolution
[08:53] <Nubbie> Beta-guy: most ps3 owners won't install linux i suspect.
[08:53] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, are you sure it won't work? they are providing gutsy images for ps3
[08:53] <randoman> hey guys where are the header files for mysql installed
[08:53] <randoman> from the repo?
[08:53] <randoman> I cnat find them
[08:53] <tsocks_> tengo un problemita ...
[08:53] <riotkittie> Beta-guy: IIRC, this was in the works long before the ps3 came out. and ... well, what Nubbie said.
[08:53] <Martin__> kahrytan, but thunderbird I don't get to connect to my exchange server
[08:53] <tsocks_> I have a problem...
[08:53] <Nubbie> kahrytan: works for me is not sound advice. there's a reason evolution is standard, so help him use the program he wants.
[08:53] <kruck> I have to keep going downstairs in the middle of the night to turn the bugger back on, cos it just LOVES to drop connection in the middle of me downloading something :@
[08:53] <kruck> anyway, any other wireless clients?
[08:53] <kahrytan> Martin__,  thats a good reason :-P
[08:53] <GNine> i like evolution
[08:54] <leo_rockw> tsocks_, don't we all? :-P
[08:54] <Nubbie> lol.
[08:54] <tsocks_> I have a "SATA" hard disk ... and when i connect an IDE hard disk in my PC, grub say something like "Error 13" and doesn't allow to enter Ubuntu or Windows.... :(
[08:54] <kahrytan> Martin__, Is it an attachment?
[08:54] <kruck> I like just connecting to the internet and looking through my mail, dunno why ;)
[08:54] <mike8901> Is native macbook pro support comming in the next release?
[08:54] <onetwothree> Hey i have trouble with my Wifi -- it is configuring the device -- but it never configures it
[08:54] <Martin__> kahrytan, No - that'S the problem. It's inline. IE - it's encrypted in to the message body.
[08:54] <onetwothree> it enables it for a second and disables it
[08:54] <kruck> tsocks_: set boot priority in your BIOS to the drive that you normally have plugged in
[08:54] <Beta-guy> TBH I only want to upgrade the kernel, but I'm willing to try the expiamental 7.10 release to get a newer kernel :)
[08:55] <kruck> see if that helps
[08:55] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, 2.6.22.10 messed up my sound lol
[08:55] <sauvin> I've been tempted to roll my own kernel but fear mismatch with all the other stuff ubuntu installs
[08:55] <Martin__> kahrytan, should be normal mime-encoding, are there any tools to extract the single parts of the message ?
[08:55] <riotkittie> kruck > best i can offer is search synaptic/apt  :|
[08:55] <Nubbie> my turn to ask a question now..... i don't know if anybody has any experience using Multisync, but here it goes. Using multisync, i set it up to sync my cell phone. i have no problem connecting, but it can only pull new data off my cell phone, it can't write new appointments to my phone. if somebody could help me figure this out i'd very much appreciate it because it's much easier to add stuff using evolution.
[08:56] <kruck> onetwothree: this happens to me until I install the firmware. It will happen unless your wireless card has network support. A list of cards with network support is on ubuntu.com :)
[08:56] <kruck> FFS, *unless your wireless card has NATIVE support*
[08:56] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, you don't need to upgrade to gutsy to get the newer kernel
[08:56] <kruck> in Ubuntu
[08:56] <kruck> lol, cheers kitty
[08:56] <kruck> kittie*
[08:57] <Nubbie> most if not all intel wireless cards are supported using a restricted driver, and it should set up no problem.
[08:57] <Beta-guy> leo_rockw: how can I upgrade the kernel? I don't know anything about compiling the kernel
[08:57] <kahrytan> Martin__, I don't use it
[08:57] <Nubbie> Beta-guy: compile your own.
[08:57] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, no need to compile
[08:57] <Beta-guy> Nubbie: I was afraid of that :P
[08:57] <Nubbie> Beta-guy: it's easy, you should try it. if it messes up, you'll still be able to boot from an old one.
[08:57] <Martin__> kahrytan, I'm not talking about evolution itsself. Do you know (command line) tools to extract mimeparts in general ?
[08:58] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, there's a guide in the ubuntuforums
[08:58] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, lemme look for it
[08:58] <kahrytan> Martin__, Nope
[08:58] <dariuskane> Beta-guy, kernel compiling isnt nearly as scary or difficult as it first seems
[08:58] <riotkittie> yea. you havent lived until youve compiled your own kernel. for the full effect, do it on a amd k6 333mhz. good times :|
[08:58] <LikwidSteel> If I mess up my files and stuff I can still restore windows through my partition drive right?
[08:58] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, yeah, compiling the kernel is not difficult or scary, that's true
[08:58] <Nubbie> Beta-guy: i've done it before, back before my usb remote was supported, i would compile my own kernel. it's kinda painless, takes a while though.
[08:58] <Beta-guy> Nubbie, I MAY give it a shot I love using the latest version of software
[08:59] <dariuskane> riotkittie, lol for the truely masochistic.. do it on a old 486 like I used to :P
[08:59] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, lemme find you that guide anyway
[08:59] <kruck> would knetwork manager work?
[08:59] <riotkittie> dariuskane: if i still had one of those laying around, i might ;)
[08:59] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=511974
[08:59] <kruck> as in, would it be compatible with ubuntu
[08:59] <Nubbie> likwidsteel: back your stuff up before you do any disk editing. thats good advice that goes towards anything.
[08:59] <Beta-guy> leo_rockw: thanks
[08:59] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, i used the manual way
[08:59] <dariuskane> riotkittie, they make great doorstops these days
[08:59] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, np...
[09:00] <leo_rockw> Beta-guy, the latest version of the kernel is 2.6.22.10
[09:00] <GNine> i still remember 386 with the white monochromatic DOS command line
[09:00] <Nubbie> lol i grew up playing dos games
[09:00] <Beta-guy> I still use 2.6.20
[09:00] <Nubbie> monkey island WOOT
[09:00] <leo_rockw> Nubbie, ScummVM WOOT lol
[09:01] <Nubbie> lol.
[09:01] <leo_rockw> Nubbie, i beat all of them last week, haha
[09:01] <dariuskane> kruck, in the linux world redhat and ubuntu are distributions... its not a matter of compatibility... distros are like pre mixed bags of candy... anything works if you follow the instructions and have the right support software and libraries installed
[09:01] <Nubbie> my cousin's commodore 64 just died the other year, i was really disappointed.
[09:01] <leo_rockw> my commodore 64 still works, but i never use it. that comp needs a linux haha
[09:02] <bobsomebody> hi, im having trouble getting my laptop to the internet, i am on the network, i can ping the local network but i cant get outside to the net
[09:02] <Nubbie> lol. install slackware on it.
[09:02] <dariuskane> leo_rockw, I seem to remember someone put out a distro for the commodore64 awhile back
[09:02] <riotkittie> slack <3
[09:02] <leo_rockw> it doesnt have a harddrive, tho
[09:02] <bobsomebody> im beind a linux server that forwards and masq's LAN
[09:02] <Nubbie> bobsomebody: it sounds like your DNS settings are not set up right.
[09:03] <leo_rockw> dariuskane, i heard that too... i know a guy that used that every morning to check his email
[09:03] <dariuskane> leo_rockw, look hard enough and theres a way to do it :)
[09:03] <GNine> i like dhcp so much
[09:03] <GNine> lol
[09:03] <OsahZ> Hey i have trouble with my Wifi -- it is configuring the device -- but it never configures it
[09:03] <OsahZ> it enables it for a second and disables it
[09:03] <riotkittie> brb. i'm going to alternate being completely useless here and playing tetrinet.
[09:03] <leo_rockw> dariuskane, i could use a tape
[09:03] <riotkittie> OsahZ > what kind of device?
[09:03] <dariuskane> leo_rockw, getting linux onto the tape would be the tricky part
[09:03] <Nubbie> you can buy a hard drive for a commodore 64. its like 8mb or something insanely small.
[09:03] <OsahZ> riotkittie: linksys WRT54G
[09:04] <faileas> leo_rockw: you could probably turn it into a console
[09:04] <Nubbie> but of course it's not an IDE hard drive, good luck getting junk onto it.
[09:04] <leo_rockw> well... it's better than just have it sitting there
[09:04] <leo_rockw> faileas, that would be neat! better than an xbox
[09:04] <Nubbie> doubts
[09:04] <Nubbie> modded xbox = arcade machine.
[09:04] <faileas> i mean a old school control console ;p
[09:04] <dariuskane> OsahZ, defaintely check out the dd-wrt project to upgrade your linksys... the factory firware really bites
[09:05] <paulc87> anybody have broadcom wlan on an hp laptop?
[09:05] <dfwlinuxguy> yes
[09:05] <dfwlinuxguy> sorry not HP
[09:05] <Nubbie> paulc87: ask your question.
[09:05] <bobsomebody> Nubbie, DNS is fine, its getting DHCP'ed from the server also
[09:05] <paulc87> cant get the wireless working for the life of me, ive used the FAQ
[09:05] <Nubbie> bobsomebody: i dunno, i have no experience with linux routers, good luck man.
[09:05] <paulc87> tried ndiswrapper, and the bcm43xx mod
[09:06] <bobsomebody> Nubbie, there very handy, my firewall talks to me now :p
[09:06] <faileas> leo_rockw: http://members.elysium.pl/ytm/html/linux-term.html
[09:06] <Nubbie> paulc87: and you rebooted and stuff?
[09:06] <paulc87> yep
[09:06] <paulc87> multiple times
[09:06] <dfwlinuxguy> paulc87 did you try installing bcm43xx-fwcutter
[09:06] <leo_rockw> faileas, THANK YOU!
[09:06] <kruck> paulc, you can try what i did to get mine working...I'll try and dig out the link for you (buried in the depths of my history)
[09:06] <paulc87> yes dfw
[09:06] <paulc87> ive tried everything
[09:06] <dfwlinuxguy> ndiswrapper
[09:06] <paulc87> tried the same guide for SUSE10.2 also
[09:06] <paulc87> yes
[09:06] <Nubbie> bobsomebody: i just can't justify running a computer 24/7 to do a job a router can do using 1/50th of the electricity.
[09:07] <Ashtefere> Hi guys, I was wondering if you could help me out with something fairly basic
[09:07] <dfwlinuxguy> !ask
[09:07] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:07] <GNine> nice point nubbie
[09:07] <Ashtefere> haha ok
[09:07] <paulc87> thanks kruck
[09:07] <bobsomebody> Nubbie, its also a file server and web server and a samba share host, and yeah, so it has alot of jobs
[09:07] <dariuskane> Nubbie, actually a full linux router can do alot more then your regular router... which for a home network is usefull
[09:07] <Nubbie> oh well if it's doing all that, thats cool.
[09:07] <bobsomebody> *it* dosent talk to me, but my logs do, might be a beter explination
[09:07] <Ashtefere> i have managed a windows network in a small call center for some time and they have decided to go ubuntu
[09:08] <Nubbie> i know they CAN do a lot :)
[09:08] <Ashtefere> unfortunately they need dual monitors
[09:08] <Nubbie> i used to have my xbox running XBMC as a file server. worked out well.
[09:08] <bobsomebody> Ashtefere, you need xinerma probably if there buget cut PC's
[09:08] <paulc87> i just noticed that ubuntu tribe 2 has new support for my wireless card
[09:08] <Ashtefere> i am struggling to get a trial machine up just to install the ati drivers
[09:08] <riotkittie> ati can be a huge pita...
[09:08] <paulc87> www.ubuntu.com/testing/tribe2
[09:08] <bobsomebody> Nubbie, lol, i dont have any game systems, but plenty of PC's
[09:09] <Nubbie> Ashtefere: what ati cards do they use?
[09:09] <bobsomebody> ive got a 6 computer system that can do 8 screens and seamless switching by mouse moves with no kvm
[09:09] <paulc87> one more question if you guys dont mind
[09:09] <Ashtefere> well, i can get it to work switching to bash but then there is the xorg 7.2 error
[09:09] <Ashtefere> they are all pretty basic machines
[09:09] <dariuskane> Ashtefere, theres several resources for a dual head ubuntu.... video drivers will be the roughest part.. if your testing on an old machine itll be more painfull then with a newer card
[09:09] <bobsomebody> Nubbie, http://x.jaywebdesigns.com/i_win.avi :P
[09:09] <Ashtefere> hodge podge shit
[09:09] <Nubbie> bobsomebody: my xbox hasn't seen an xbox game in over 2 years. its funny really.
[09:09] <bobsomebody> lol
[09:09] <bobsomebody> i need to get a 360
[09:09] <Ashtefere> was going to use xinerama as you suggested
[09:09] <robert__> hi all i am having trouble burning cds i keed getting " wodim: OPC failed.
[09:09] <robert__> " i have a stakc of 100 ubuntu cds to burn for software freedom day and i have burnt 15 in a row and then it failed and is now giving me this error

[09:10] <bobsomebody> i want to hack DVR code into it
[09:10] <Ashtefere> yeah the nvidia ones will be fine
[09:10] <bobsomebody> but still play games somehow
[09:10] <Ashtefere> the ati ones will be the problem
[09:10] <Nubbie> bobsomebody: lol you're a giant nerd! so many computers
[09:10] <Nubbie> bobsomebody: it
[09:10] <Nubbie> bobsomebody: it's impressive though.
[09:10] <bobsomebody> Nubbie, you say that now instead of when i said "my computer talks to me"?
[09:10] <bobsomebody> :P
[09:10] <Nubbie> lol.
[09:11] <dariuskane> bobsomebody, as long as the toaster isnt talking to you I think were ok
[09:11] <bobsomebody> it will speak out IP's on external ssh's too
[09:11] <Nubbie> my computer talks to me too, words pop up on the screen all the time. lol.
[09:11] <bobsomebody> no this one espeaks :P
[09:11] <GNine> tru
[09:11] <Ashtefere> is there currently a way to install the ati drivers on xorg 7.2?
[09:11] <bobsomebody> i need a damn mic so bad though
[09:11] <Nubbie> i've always wanted to try a netbooting thin client set up using ssh.

[09:13] <dfwlinuxguy> it means don't use ATI
[09:13] <Ashtefere> lol ok
[09:13] <Ashtefere> lol
[09:13] <kruck> if that doesn't work paulc87, then search ubuntuforums.org for bcm43xx and there are several methods to get it to work
[09:13] <Nubbie> MonkeyFit: even on the live cd? using feisty stable?
[09:14] <Ashtefere> unfortunately they use cards beneath the 9500
[09:14] <MonkeyFit> yeah
[09:14] <Nubbie> MonkeyFit: what graphics card do you have?
[09:14] <GNine> nvidia is my friend
[09:14] <MonkeyFit> lemme tell you the vid card is 8800GTX
[09:14] <Nubbie> intel > all graphics.
[09:14] <Ashtefere> 9200 le on this machine, many different types on the others
[09:14] <Nubbie> MonkeyFit: is that brand new?
[09:14] <MonkeyFit> relatively
[09:14] <dariuskane> Ashtefere, unfortunately X isnt my thing.. been a commandline slackware geek for 10 yrs :)
[09:14] <Ashtefere> hahaha
[09:15] <Nubbie> MonkeyFit: try running a gutsy alpha release. feisty may not have the right drivers to run that brand new card yet.
[09:15] <MonkeyFit> i thought I could get away with installing just a command line and then installing nvidia-glx-new which is supposed to include support as far as I can tell
[09:15] <GNine> refresh your eyes
[09:15] <Nubbie> MonkeyFit: google it up. i dunno i've never used nvidia cards.
[09:15] <dariuskane> !nvidia | MonkeyFit
[09:15] <ubotu> MonkeyFit: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:16] <MonkeyFit> Nubbie: ok, I guess that's what I'll have to do, and I've tried googling, it's hard when you don't have any error messages to work with
[09:16] <dariuskane> thought the bot might have something different to say
[09:16] <GNine> glx worked just fine for me
[09:16] <OsahZZ> dariuskane: i tried the router upgrade -- however they dont support my WRT54GX2 router -- according to their forums -- how would i fix my ubuntu wifi connection --
[09:16] <MonkeyFit> didn't even think about gusty though, thanks
[09:17] <dariuskane> OsahZ, whats your trouble exactly?
[09:17] <OsahZZ> Well i go to Enable eth1 it shows green for a second and red again
[09:17] <OsahZZ> i just want it to connect to wifi internet
[09:17] <Nubbie> OsahZ: your wrt uses WPA2?
[09:17] <thecross> hello, I'm having some problems with my sound.  when I test the sound playback device in sound preferences I get this error message "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not get/set settings from/on resource."
[09:17] <OsahZZ> Nubbie: i am using WPA/TKIP
[09:17] <Ashtefere> the ubuntu guide tells me that i already have working 2d and accelerated 3d with the 9200
[09:18] <Nubbie> OsahZ: what wireless set do you have on your computer?
[09:18] <Ashtefere> why does it lie to me? :(
[09:18] <OsahZZ> Nubbie also a linksys wireless card
[09:18] <Nubbie> Ashtefere: fglrx won't work on a 9200.
[09:18] <Ashtefere> ok, so how do i get dual display with cards that old?
[09:18] <Nubbie> OsahZ: check and see if your wireless chip is supported.
[09:18] <riotkittie> xinerama
[09:18] <dariuskane> OsahZ, I havent tried wifi in ubuntu yet... see if these guys can help...
[09:19] <OsahZZ> Nubbie: Where would i check -- have a link m8
[09:19] <Ashtefere> is xinerama already installed in latest ubuntu? i did a pkg search in the add/remove and it didnt show up
[09:19] <Ashtefere> but i heard mention that it was already installed somwehre
[09:19] <Nubbie> Ashtefere: yeah but don't expect to run any 3D apps with it. doubt a call centre will need 3d support anyways.
[09:19] <Ashtefere> yeah its pretty basic
[09:19] <Flannel> !xinerama | Ashtefere
[09:19] <ubotu> Ashtefere: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead
[09:19] <Nubbie> Ashtefere: it may be installed, but you need to edit your xorg.conf file to enable it.
[09:19] <Ashtefere> i assumed xinerama needed installed drivers though
[09:20] <Nubbie> Ashtefere: follow that link flannel directed you to.

[09:53] <musikgoat|laptop> hi, i don't know if this is the best place to ask, but i'm trying to compile something and it keeps failing during make with the following error  <unknown> tried to exec cc1 but failed (No such file or directory)
[09:53] <musikgoat|laptop> can anyone help with this?
[09:53] <SIS> When I try to access my cdrom, it says "mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist"
[09:54] <Paddy_EIRE> musikgoat|laptop: have you installed the build-essential packages requires for compiling on linux
[09:54] <musikgoat|laptop> yes
[09:54] <musikgoat|laptop> that and libncurses5
[09:55] <SIS> How can I get my cd drive to work when it says "mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist"
[09:55] <big_bang14> musikgoat|laptop: i think you may need to ask in an irc more specific to the program your compiling
[09:55] <Paddy_EIRE> SIS: do you have media in the drive?
[09:56] <SIS> Paddy_EIRE: yes, I do
[09:57] <Ouch> Could someone assist me in getting rid of the 'nm-applet default keyring' problem...WHAT PASSWORD IS IT WANTING ANYWAY?
[09:57] <Ouch> Is it wanting the wireless network password?
[09:58] <gcostello> SIS: try to mount /dev/cdrom0
[09:58] <tego> big_bang my movie player with all movies now gave me black screen after update even the movies in the example home folder?i hear sound yes but when i move the time bar some time its appear
[09:58] <lnx> i have web camera how i can capture a film (avi) and not only take a picture ?
[09:58] <SIS> gcostello: it says mount: can't find /dev/cdrom0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[09:59] <rausb0> Ouch: do not shout. no, the keyring applet asks for _setting_ a password to protect keys like the wpa key. so it prompts once for setting this password and after that only asks for it.
[09:59] <devinder> does ubuntu have iptables-save
[09:59] <Ouch> rausb0: Okay, my apologies for shouting.  After one has set this password. Can you tell one how to change it?
[10:00] <rausb0> Ouch: sorry, don't know. i don't use gnome regularly, i use xfce.
[10:00] <Ouch> rausb0: Okay.
[10:01] <Ouch> It sure would be nice to get an answer however.
[10:02] <Ouch> Ubuntu is passed off as an excellent O.S....seems full of problems to me.
[10:02] <gcostello> SIS: can you post the output of "dmesg | grep CD" please?
[10:02] <leo_rockw> Ouch, if nobody helped you yet it means that whoever knows the answer is not available or nobody knows the answer. if you don't like ubuntu there are plenty of distros out there
[10:02] <Flannel> Ouch: it's asking for the first password you set with it.  You have a login password, and then a network manager password.
[10:02] <emile> i configured a hp-laserjet-4 (cups) and cups-pdf, both work fine independently. Now i would like to duplicate all prints send to laserjet to pdf for archiving automatically. Did any of you did this before or got any directions for me to look into?
[10:03] <big_bang14>  riotkittie: any ideas or should i ask the irc again?
[10:03] <Flannel> Ouch: the first time you connected to a wireless network, it asked you for a password
[10:03] <Ouch> Flannel: Yes. how do change the password ..
[10:04] <Flannel> Ouch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager#head-41669d33dd37ace3464ac217a60ffac444fff514
[10:04] <seete3> Does anyone know any USB Wi-Fi sticks that work out-of-box with ubuntu linux?.. I'm getting my friend into ubuntu, and he's given me some money to buy him a wifi usb stick. Thanks
[10:05] <unknown_ninja> Say, anyone know how to get back right click on xubuntu? Mine suddenly stopped working
[10:05] <faileas> seete3: check the compat list. the linksys WUSB54G works great for me
[10:05] <Ouch> Flannel: Thank you.  Now this question.  The nm-applet password have to be the same password as the WPA password on the router?
[10:06] <seete3> faileas:  How did you get it to work?
[10:06] <fyrestrtr> Ouch: no
[10:06] <rausb0> seete3: the problem is the ever-changing chipsets. i can tell you my us robotics usr805423 works (zd1211 chipset), but i cannot be sure if this device still has the same chipset now.
[10:06] <faileas> seete3: it was detected and ran, right out the box
[10:06] <ironmatar> yaay it works
[10:06] <Ouch> fyrestrtr: There seems to be a conflict. When I bootup ubuntu with my wired connection and my wireless connection.
[10:06] <seete3> faileas:  thanks a lot
[10:07] <Juftus> On a fresh install of Feisty, I have to manually issue 'dhclient eth0' to connect to my private network. How would I get Feisty to connect automatically? There are the lines "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" in my /etc/network/interfaces.
[10:07] <Flannel> Ouch: if you make it the same as your login password, you can use libpam-keyring to automatically log you in to network manager with your login password
[10:07] <faileas> seete3: best thing to do, still is to heck the hardware compatability list and base it off that
[10:07] <faileas> *check
[10:07] <seete3> faileas:  where is that?
[10:08] <Ouch> Flannel: I am  attempting to do that. But it will not allow it.
[10:08] <unknown_ninja> Anyone know how to repair broken right click on desktop (can't seem to find anythin in forums)
[10:08] <Ouch> theory@NONAME:~$ /usr/lib/libpam-keyring/pam-keyring-tool -c
[10:08] <Ouch> pam-keyring-tool: only one keyring action my be specified on the commandline
[10:08] <Ouch> That is the error I get when I run the command it says
[10:08] <jerryrighter> m-audio mobile pre usb ported how do i install that in ubuntu feisty i plug it in it dont work how do i get it to worl the os is using my onboard sound card iw ant it to use the usb one
[10:09] <faileas> seete3: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[10:09] <rausb0> faileas: keep in mind that linksys (like any other vendor) keeps changing chipsets _without_ renaming the device. so WUSB54G can have a totally different chipset now. when did you buy yours?
[10:09] <faileas> rausb0: erm... i didn't. i got it free >_>
[10:09] <rausb0> faileas: and do you know how old it is?

[10:12] <seete3> thanks for all your help, i'm now going to buy either the WG111v2 or the WUSB54GC. Cheers.
[10:13] <Yaywalter> I would install Ubuntu if I could connect to my wireless network. :|
[10:13] <jerryrighter> how do i install a usb sound card and turn the onboard one off

[10:14] <unknown_ninja> try knetworkmanager fixed my wireless
[10:14] <rausb0> Yaywalter: not all wireless cards are supported. which one do you have?
[10:14] <jerryrighter> anyone?
[10:14] <Ouch> Flannel:  Thanks for the help. The simple solution is System | Administration | Keyring Manager though...
[10:14] <Ouch> Flannel: Just lucked into that one.

[10:17] <unknown_ninja> so can anyone help with a lost mouse right click on desktop? I'm stuck using alt-f2 to open stuffs
[10:17] <emile> does freenode check for open proxies upon connect (some irc servers do)
[10:17] <fyrestrtr> emile: it does, read the MOTD
[10:17] <kloeri> ironmatar: I'm k-lining them as I see them but I can't k-line in advance
[10:17] <big_bang14> wireless wont show up in my network manager despite it showing in the network admin. why is this?
[10:18] <MonkeyFit> anyone?, does anybody know if there's a keyboard shortcut to drop to a command line at the login screen?
[10:18] <lnx> Amaranth , this is the problem , gstreamer play it and still it have the movies icon
[10:18] <riniver> When i try to sudo apt-get update it stops on Connecting to wine.lowvoice.nl (cant resolve host)

[10:19] <Amaranth> although i've never seen an AOL user in here
[10:19] <Ouch> Question. Is it possible to permanently disable the wired connection deal so that it wont interfere with my wireless connection?
[10:19] <Amaranth> since it doesn't work on ubuntu anyway
[10:19] <Erythro> Ouch: you could disable the interface
[10:19] <lnx> Amaranth , yea now its work
[10:19] <unknown_ninja> hrlp! mouse has eaten it's own rightclick works everywhere else but desktop
[10:19] <Yaywalter> In windows, how would I figure out what kind of wireless card I have?
[10:20] <Ouch> Erythro:  How is that done? I see no disable at startup feature on 7
[10:20] <lnx> i have web camera how i can capture a film (avi) and not only take a picture ?
[10:20] <riniver> Yaywalter: it'd be in device manager. right click on my computer, properties, hardware tab, device manager
[10:20] <fyrestrtr> Yaywalter: start > control panel > networking > right click on the interface
[10:20] <b14ck> Yaywalter: right click my computer. go to properties. go to the hardware tab. click on device manager. look under wireless cards
[10:20] <Juftus> On a fresh install of Feisty, I have to manually issue 'dhclient eth0' to connect to my private network. How would I get Feisty to connect automatically? There are the lines "auto eth0" and "iface eth0 inet dhcp" in my /etc/network/interfaces.
[10:21] <Yaywalter> I don't see wireless cards.
[10:21] <Yaywalter> I see network adapters?
[10:21] <fyrestrtr> Juftus: sounds like an issue with your dhcp server
[10:21] <b14ck> Yaywalter: ya in there
[10:21] <b14ck> Yaywalter: network adapters, sorry
[10:21] <Yaywalter> Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN
[10:21] <b14ck> there you go
[10:21] <b14ck> thats it
[10:21] <leo_rockw> i got to go... everybody have a good day/night
[10:21] <Juftus> furestrtr: dmesg says something about no ipv6 routers being around. May this be related to my problem?
[10:21] <Ouch> Erythro:  Have any ideas?
[10:22] <Yaywalter> How come I can't connect to my linksys router in Ubuntu then?
[10:22] <fyrestrtr> Juftus: no.
[10:22] <Juftus> *fyrestrtr
[10:22] <Juftus> OK.
[10:22] <fyrestrtr> Juftus: but you can disable ipv6 if you are not using it.
[10:22] <Yaywalter> Does it have anything to do with the fact that i'm currently just running it as a Live CD?
[10:23] <verb3k_> guys I've compiled ntfs-3g from source on feisty and when I try to mount the partition it gives me the following message: fuse: failed to exec fusermount: No such file or directory

[10:23] <openedu> how can i move my existing root partition onto a RAID-1 array?
[10:24] <Erythro> Ouch: Sorry, System->Administration->Network
[10:24] <Juftus> fyrestrtr: btw, dhcp at boot time used to work on Dapper & the same network.
[10:24] <openedu> can i create an MD raid 1 array on another disk, then copy / onto the new partition after i format it?
[10:24] <riv> today i receive the live cd
[10:24] <Ouch> Erythro:  It has no disable feature.
[10:25] <Erythro> Ouch: uncheck it
[10:25] <Travis> hello?
[10:25] <Ouch> Erythro: Thats my problem. When I restart it will check itself aqain.

[10:26] <Travis> anyone know how to get it to do that?//
[10:26] <devinderbhullar> iptables-save
[10:26] <devinderbhullar> no output

[10:27] <jerryrighter> defrysk ive asked six times and no one will give me an answer
[10:27] <Guillem> Travis, I would try latest ubuntu install disc (which is live-CD as well): it has the network-manager which should work for you

[10:29] <openedu> my hard drive is going bad.  can i copy / to another hard drive or is there a better way to copy partitions?
[10:29] <Erythro> Ouch: edit your /etc/network/interfaces file and comment out the appropriate device
[10:29] <Guillem> openedu, define "going bad"
[10:29] <Ouch> Erythro: I definately do not know how to do that.
[10:30] <Guillem> openedu, hardware failure or getting full?
[10:30] <Erythro> Ouch: which is your wired card? eth0?
[10:30] <openedu> Guillem: it is causing my system to freeze every once and a while
[10:30] <Ouch> Erythro:  Yes.
[10:30] <Erythro> Ouch: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[10:30] <openedu> Guillem: i am trying to move my root partition to a RAID-1 array
[10:31] <Guillem> openedu, then be careful, since the methods to extract data can be more or less aggressive....
[10:31] <Erythro> Ouch: the line "iface eth0..."
[10:31] <freakytallkid> evening all
[10:31] <Erythro> Ouch: you need to put a # in front of it
[10:31] <riniver> Hi. I'm trying to install GHC but when i type ./configure i get the error "error: C compiler cannot create executables". Any ideas?
[10:32] <devinderbhullar> does anyone know how to save iptables
[10:32] <devinderbhullar> in ubuntu
[10:32] <riniver> What i really should ask is How can i tell if a program is available with apt?
[10:32] <Guillem> openedu, I don't remember which is the lower aggressive one... sorry (I had a failure once and I did it wrong, and when I was told about choices it was too late)
[10:32] <devinderbhullar> i tried sudo iptables-save > textfile
[10:32] <devinderbhullar> but bash permission denied
[10:32] <Yaywalter> I need help connecting to my wireless network in Ubuntu
[10:32] <Ouch> Erythro: There is no line that says that.
[10:33] <teKnofreak> riniver, apt-cache search app-name
[10:33] <unknown_trojan> %C7 Yaywalter: what's your network card?

[10:33] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[10:33] <Ouch> Erythro:  Is there something I should type in there to make eth1 automatically connect?
[10:33] <Guillem> openedu, for data preserving (permissions, etc), tar should be the choice.... but for minimizing the reads and so on I'm not sure.

[10:34] <Yaywalter> I've looked at that.
[10:34] <tonsofpcs> so, the Xen kernel works with my SD card reader [built in to notebook] , the normal and lowlatency kernels work with my wireless card.  How about one that works with both (I don't care if it's xen or not, I'd actually rather have not or both of them)?
[10:34] <Yaywalter> It didnt help

[10:35] <vlt> Hello. Afer an upgrade from Edgy to Feisty the system only boots to runlevel "unknown". I have to run `telinit 3` (sic!) to run all the daemons listed in /etc/rc3.d/ -- `telinit 2` leads to "unknown", too. apt-get dist-upgrade returns "0 ..., 0 ..., 0 ..., 0 ..." so everything should be in a proper state. Any idea which pkg to fix and how?
[10:35] <Yaywalter> No
[10:35] <lnx> i have web camera how i can capture a film (avi) and not only take a picture ?
[10:35] <unknown_trojan> is it wep?

[10:36] <Erythro> Ouch: it should be starting already
[10:36] <Ouch> Erythro:  ok.
[10:36] <Ouch> Erythro:  Let me see if this worked.
[10:36] <Ouch> Erythro:  I appreciate your help.
[10:37] <zendo> Hi. I know that this kind of question is for tomcat channel, but they seem to don't know about the problem and it's maybe due to package/configure ubuntu scripts. The problem is that when I installed tomcat5.5 (tomcat5 worked well) and tried to start the service, it reports OK but no server is running, ie. I get error when try to access "localhost:8180" (port that is specified for non-ssl in /etc/tomcat5.5/server.xml), and log are empty(!!?).
[10:37] <zendo> Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong?
[10:37] <unknown_trojan> Yaywalter: try knetwokmanager
[10:38] <unknown_trojan> Yaywalter: oops knetworkmanager
[10:38] <Yaywalter> unknown_trojan: How do I get to that? I tried adding it but it started trying to download it, and i'm not even connected to the internet.
[10:39] <unknown_trojan> Yaywalter: are you able to connect via ether?
[10:40] <Yaywalter> unknown_trojan: I dunno, my router is in my mom's room and she's sleeping. lol
[10:40] <unknown_trojan> oops
[10:40] <zendo> Anyone please?
[10:41] <dromer> aarg, my pc just hang (again. this happens almost every day), what can I check to see what happens and to fix it?
[10:41] <unknown_trojan> Yaywalter: I used = sudo apt -get install knetworkmanager
[10:42] <sport> what is a reason that a cmd in terminal would work whilst not working as a launcher cmd?
[10:42] <Yaywalter> unknown_trojan: Type that in at the console thingy or whatever its called?
[10:42] <unknown_trojan> Yaywalter: yar it's a terminal
[10:43] <Yaywalter> unknown_trojan: And I can do that from the live CD?
[10:43] <_mEo_> Does anyone here have an ipod nano?  If so, where do I put the photos when copying from linux?
[10:43] <unknown_trojan> Yaywalter: nope you needto hit up a repository
[10:43] <Yaywalter> unknown_trojan: And how do I do that? lol
[10:44] <mnl_vlc> hi!
[10:44] <unknown_trojan> Yaywalter: to fix all of you problems you need to be able to get online with the unit your trying to fix, you need to wire connect friend
[10:44] <astro76> sport, what command?
[10:45] <Yaywalter> unknown_trojan: M'kay, thanks.
[10:45] <devinderbhullar> how do i test if  my ip tables are working
[10:45] <mnl_vlc> Does anybody  know where can I find older linux distros?
[10:45] <mnl_vlc> like RH 7.2
[10:45] <devinderbhullar> i ran intall IPTables::IPv4 and
[10:45] <mnl_vlc> thx!
[10:45] <devinderbhullar> it failed the test
[10:45] <unknown_trojan> Yaywalter: which reminds me does my name highlight when I do "Yaywalter:" (been a while since I've done IRC)

[10:46] <riniver> Why does ctrl+- work in terminal but not ctrl++? when i do + it just types in an equals sign
[10:46] <Yaywalter> Yeah it does
[10:46] <_mEo_> No, i'm not after that
[10:46] <_mEo_> I'm after photos
[10:46] <sport> astro76 xhydra --hydra-path /usr/local/src/h*/hydra-gtk/src
[10:46] <unknown_trojan> Yaywalter: thanx think I've gone senile
[10:46] <sport> astro76 the wildcard maybe?
[10:47] <astro76> sport, I believe so
[10:47] <Travis_> where do i detect devices on mepis?
[10:47] <astro76> sport, it's not using bash to do the substitution
[10:47] <unknown_trojan> so can anyone help with a mouse issue?
[10:47] <Travis_> please help, im so lost
[10:48] <LoneShadow> anyone using elisa ?
[10:48] <astro76> _mEo_, there's a link about adding videos in there, maybe it's similar?
[10:48] <Erythro> _mEo_: gpixpod
[10:48] <dromer> so, my pc has been having these hangups (kernel panics? everything just freezes and the keyboard lights blink) and I have no idea why it happens (just now I was watching a movie) and it's just not normal. Does anyone have an idea what I could check to seew hat actually happens? which logs etc.?
[10:48] <_mEo_> Thanks for that Erythro
[10:48] <fyrestrtr> Travis_: perhaps you should try #mepis
[10:49] <unknown_trojan> Travis: what's up?
[10:49] <Travis_> hey
[10:49] <Travis_> i have a prob
[10:49] <unknown_trojan> mouse right click death anyone? anyone?
[10:49] <rents> hi, if someone can please tell me why my screen looks like this, then please PM me. http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/7651/sdfdflr7.gif
[10:49] <Travis_> my wireless card
[10:49] <fyrestrtr> dromer: maybe a power or overheat issue. Maybe your bios has a log for system events? Might want to check that.
[10:50] <Travis_> my system wont detect and use it
[10:50] <fyrestrtr> unknown_trojan: just restart X
[10:50] <dromer> fyrestrtr: where might I find that?
[10:50] <fyrestrtr> dromer: in your bios
[10:50] <unknown_trojan> Travis: are you connected to the net now with troubled system?
[10:50] <manny_> god damn
[10:50] <Travis_> not really
[10:50] <Travis_> its my wireless
[10:50] <sport> astro76 haha thanks works great now
[10:50] <dromer> fyrestrtr: these hangups have happened after 3 mins or 3 days, very irregular
[10:50] <Travis_> a bcm43xx
[10:51] <manny_> rents your os is jacked
[10:51] <Travis_> it wont detect it
[10:51] <fyrestrtr> dromer: clean the dust out of your PC, check cooling and heating.
[10:51] <Amaranth> Travis_: You need to install the firmware
[10:51] <rents> 'jacked' ?
[10:51] <unknown_trojan> fyrestrtr: did and it did nothing! I'm alt-f2 ing to start programs :(
[10:51] <dromer> fyrestrtr: I don't think my bios has a log I can check
[10:51] <astro76> sport, if you really needed to use the wildcard, you could probably make the launcher: bash -c "your command here"
[10:51] <Amaranth> !bcm43xx | Travis_
[10:51] <ubotu> Travis_: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx
[10:51] <manny_> yea jacked up i never seen anything like that before
[10:51] <Travis_> i did al that
[10:51] <fyrestrtr> unknown_trojan: how did you restart it? what were you doing before this happened?
[10:52] <unknown_trojan> fyrestrtr: I installed knetworkmanager
[10:52] <manny_> rent maybe its the langauge pack?
[10:53] <rents> hmm
[10:53] <dromer> fyrestrtr: the fans are spinning like they should, I don't think it's a heating/cooling-problem
[10:53] <fyrestrtr> dromer: then i don't know what it is.
[10:53] <dromer> :(
[10:53] <unknown_trojan> fyrestrtr: after a few clicks it died and took menubar with it. I have to command start menubar in a terminal
[10:53] <fyrestrtr> unknown_trojan: does the problem persist after you reboot the system?
[10:53] <dromer> I've been having this for at least a month now
[10:54] <unknown_trojan> fyrestrtr: Unfortunetly yes
[10:54] <rents> manny_, tried to install libc6 and this is the result
[10:54] <fyrestrtr> unknown_trojan: what dm are you using?
[10:55] <unknown_trojan> fyrestrtr: what's a dm?
[10:57] <unknown_trojan> fyrestrtr: device manager?

[11:01] <riniver> Does anyone know how to get flash player working in Firefox 64bit?
[11:01] <astro76> Travis_, if you look in /lib/firmware/, you have files that start with bcm43xx ?
[11:01] <astro76> Travis_, and exactly what model do you have?
[11:01] <astro76> thill2708, I don't think all cards support that mode
[11:01] <Travis_> 43xx
[11:02] <astro76> Travis_, like 4306, 4318?
[11:02] <thill2708> arg :(
[11:02] <Travis_> 4318 yea
[11:02] <astro76> Travis_, you need ndiswrapper for that one

[11:11] <ironmatar> i need to install Wine  i note a 64 bit wine mentioned at top of wine install guide  or should i be looking at 32 bit wine?

[11:13] <ironmatar> hmmm
[11:15] <t4m1n0> hello there
[11:15] <verb3k_> guys if I use the same kernel supplied by ubuntu (from repositories ) but with applying 1 patch , will the graphics driver work with it? or I need to reinstal it another way? thanks in advance
[11:15] <lnx> i have web camera how i can capture a film (avi) and not only take a picture ?
[11:16] <astro76> verb3k_, I would think it would work, no harm in trying either

[11:16] <t4m1n0> I'm having some problems during the installation of feisty 7.04: Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0  I get this erroc constantly. I read on a lunhpad about this bug and some guys say that I have to disable floppy in bios if I don't have floppy in a machine. But what if  I don't have an option to disalbe floppy in a bios ??? please help
[11:16] <verb3k_> astro76,  will I be able to receive updates ?
[11:17] <astro76> verb3k_, if you installed a kernel update it would replace the one with your changes
[11:18] <t4m1n0> anyone'
[11:18] <sudo> yes
[11:18] <sudo> ?
[11:19] <crasher5> doesnt ubuntu install drivers for floppy on install even if u dont have a floppy drive eg. notebooks for example?
[11:19] <sudo> i don't think so
[11:19] <crasher5> or at least their support
[11:20] <sudo> in the hardware detection process i think it find only the required drivers
[11:20] <Alex> Anyone with suggestions on syslog analysis software?
[11:21] <dgjones> crasher5, i think it possibly does, so that its ready in case a floppy drive was fitted, similar to the way that usb key's are configured ready for when one is plugged in
[11:22] <sudo> so what you are saying is ubuntu has a cache of driver ready to use which are not loaded
[11:22] <crasher5> so why doesn't t4m1n0 just skip the step by F6 i think before the installation starts?
[11:22] <astro76> sudo, yeah it's in the kernel
[11:23] <sudo> oh yeah they are addon modules to the kernal
[11:23] <loswillios> hi
[11:24] <loswillios> I have installed linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-10-386 but there is no nvidia.ko to load
[11:24] <ikon> how can i defrag my ubuntu?
[11:24] <loswillios> only nvidia-agp and nvidiafb
[11:25] <ironmatar> i installed fiesty with a live cd   started live cd   selected mount  hd  dloaded the alternitive iso image  selected install from administration  when that had ran   important note  reboot comp  hold the blasted cd eject button so u get the live cd out before os starts and the new install of ubunto 64 bit  works like a charm
[11:25] <astro76> ikon, linux filesystems don't really suffer from fragmentation
[11:25] <sudo> ditto no defrag needed
[11:25] <sudo> however fscking is good
[11:25] <ikon> no defrag needed? never?
[11:25] <loswillios> so, is there a document which describes how the binary nvidia driver is implemented in ubuntu?
[11:26] <astro76> !nvidia | loswillios
[11:26] <ubotu> loswillios: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:26] <ironmatar> so what should i do for wine?  64 bit or 32?
[11:26] <ikon> but if i want to defrag, how can i do it?
[11:26] <astro76> ikon, correct
[11:26] <crasher5> how do i set up shortcut keys for keyboard layout switch?
[11:27] <loswillios> astro76: yeah I know that, but my nvidia.ko modules isn't generated
[11:27] <riniver> Where is httpd.conf located to when you insatll LAMP?
[11:28] <ikon> any clean tool for ubuntu?
[11:28] <loswillios> I see only a bunch of *.o files
[11:28] <astro76> riniver, sudo updatedb && locate httpd.conf
[11:28] <astro76> ikon, clean what?
[11:28] <loswillios> use slocate
[11:29] <astro76> loswillios, locate probably actually uses slocate, I'm not sure
[11:29] <astro76> loswillios, it does
[11:29] <astro76> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2007-06-29 23:11 /usr/bin/locate -> slocate
[11:29] <ikon> any tool for improve ubuntu
[11:29] <astro76> ikon, lol, improve what?
[11:30] <ikon> speed for ejample

[11:34] <tego> my movie player gave me black screen i cant watch movie
[11:34] <tipote> Hi all ! I was considering switching to ubuntu from a source-based distrib to reduce time spent in working on the distro, but I don't like the 6-month schedule. I'd like a distribution that is has no freezing time, always upstream. Is there a way/a repo to make ubuntu behave like that ?
[11:35] <tego> even the movie in the example home folder
[11:35] <SlimeyPete> tipote: you could use gutsy. Then when gutsy's released, upgrade to the next version.
[11:35] <SlimeyPete> tipote: stability will be an issue though
[11:36] <pennywize> I'm trying to vnc to computer outside my network to assist a friend but it's not working.  Anyone care to help?  I'll fill you in on all the details
[11:36] <tipote> SlimeyPete: ok, thanks. I don't really like to have to upgrade every 6 months...
[11:37] <Erythro> tipote: it's pretty seamless through the manager
[11:37] <taylor_> kjj
[11:38] <ironmatar> wonders if my posts are lost

[11:38] <tipote> Erythro: ok
[11:38] <Erythro> SoLpeX: yes
[11:38] <riniver> Is there a way of seing a list of servers and what ports are running on my comp?
[11:39] <KenSentMe> Is it possible to use tabcompletion in terminal to switch to the next word instead of displaying all possibilities. Can it work like it does in Xchat?
[11:39] <SoLpeX> i do it and it says that the package is missing
[11:39] <ironmatar> hello???
[11:39] <Erythro> SoLpeX: hmm it does for me too

[11:53] <GoFcukYourself> sounds like a bandwidth hog
[11:53] <Jordan_U> Ironhand, You could  create a 32 bit chroot, but for most people there is really no large benefit to running a 64 bit OS in the first place
[11:54] <MonkeyFit> is there an easy way to get the nvidia 100.14 driver?
[11:54] <luckybastard> i am running my freshly installed ubuntu on a pentium 2 (450Mhz) and my system maneger tells me i am using 100%cpu all of the time, but "Top" tells me otherwise
[11:54] <ironmatar> running a brand new assempled from parts 64 bit system why shouldent i install 64 bit os
[11:55] <luckybastard> at any rate my comp is running rly slow
[11:55] <crasher5> ironmatar tou shouldn't?
[11:55] <luckybastard> help plz
[11:55] <Erythro> luckybastard: you might want to try xubuntu on that kinda hardware
[11:55] <Jordan_U> Ironhand, If you are new to Linux it can be harder to use certain ( almost invariably proprietary ) pieces of software, and there is for most Desktop uses no noticeable speed increase
[11:56] <luckybastard> Erythro, well my rly old ubuntu (3 or 4 point something) had no problems
[11:56] <ironmatar> dont know why yer calling me ironhand
[11:56] <ironmatar> ;] 
[11:56] <nox-Hand> Someone got a link to the default sources.list? I messed mine up COMPLETELY :)
[11:56] <nox-Hand> away
[11:56] <mqduck> hey... can anyone tell me how to change the default debconf question priority setting thingie?
[11:56] <nox-Hand>  /away *
[11:57] <Jordan_U> ironmatar, Tab completion :)
[11:57] <Erythro> luckybastard: *shrug*
[11:57] <faileas> nox-Hand: i could pastebin one, but mine are all singapore mirrors
[11:57] <ironmatar> ah
[11:57] <nox-Hand> faileas: No worries, I just need to change the .(singapore) out with dk
[11:57] <nox-Hand> If you would :)
[11:57] <kritzstapf> where to set if ubuntu uses kdm or gdm?
[11:57] <faileas> right
[11:57] <faileas> one moent
[11:57] <Jordan_U> !sourecomatic | nox-Hand
[11:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sourecomatic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:57] <Erythro> mqduck: just go to software sources in system-->administration and remove all the third party and extra repos
[11:58] <Jordan_U> !sourceomatic | nox-Hand
[11:58] <ubotu> nox-Hand: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[11:58] <Erythro> or that
[11:58] <luckybastard> ill install xubuntu then
[11:58] <faileas> !pastebin

[11:58] <gcostello> kritzstapf: /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[11:58] <ironmatar> so where is the 32 bit wine version for fiesty
[11:58] <nox-Hand> faileas: Never mind, Jordan_U found a sources.list helperr :)
[11:58] <nox-Hand> Thanks though
[11:59] <faileas> np
[11:59] <luckybastard> i cant like "upgrade" ubuntu to xubuntu right?
[11:59] <faileas> i was SSHed into my irc server for something else anyway
[11:59] <luckybastard> so i can save all my settings
[11:59] <faileas> luckybastard: install xubuntu desktop, then change the default DE on logon i think
[11:59] <Jordan_U> luckybastard, Yes you can, just remove ubuntu-desktop and install xubuntu-desktop
[11:59] <mqduck> Erythro: im not sure you understand what i mean. i mean the debconf/priority=[critical/high/medium/low]  setting
[12:00] <netcrash__> How can I view the logs with color formated ( multitail style ) with an application like less ?
[12:00] <Jordan_U> luckybastard, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce
[12:01] <Erythro> mqduck: woops, that wasnt meant for you
[12:01] <luckybastard> erm.. won't i loose my graphical interface?
[12:01] <kritzstapf> gcostello: thanks, i did it with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" now ;)
[12:02] <Jordan_U> luckybastard, Not if you install xubuntu-desktop first
[12:03] <Erythro> luckybastard: If you have an existing Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Edubuntu installation, it is possible to install Xubuntu and retain your current installation. To do so, just go into Synaptic (or Adept if you use Kubuntu) and install the xubuntu-desktop package. There you are! Next time you login, you can choose Xubuntu from the Session menu on the login screen.
[12:03] <luckybastard> Erythro, thx that's what i wanted 2 know
[12:03] <gcostello> netcrash__: aptitude show ccze
[12:03] <Erythro> google ftw
[12:05] <phoenix7> i have a problem with my laptop sound card.
[12:05] <netcrash__> gcostello: thanks
[12:05] <ironmatar> so is that 64 bit wine package useless thats mentioned in install guides?
[12:06] <GuillaumeB> Hi, i installed Ubuntu 7.04 in a Toshiba Sattelite A135 and i don't have sound at all! Somebody now about?
[12:08] <tom_> hey guys anyone here installed skype on dapper? if so are the wiki instructions too up to date for dapper?
[12:09] <Paddy_EIRE> GuillaumeB: type 'lspci' in a terminal and pastebin it

[12:09] <kritzstapf> my father is running ubuntu with gnome on a 500MHz laptop, would it be much faster using Xfce?
[12:09] <ironmatar> is there a Wine help room?
[12:10] <Erythro> kritzstapf: probably
[12:10] <Paddy_EIRE> kritzstapf: enlightenment is good as is fvwm-crystal
[12:11] <kritzstapf> Paddy_EIRE: hum?
[12:11] <xiantia> hi all
[12:11] <GoFcukYourself> kritzstapf: it would be much faster running fluxbox
[12:12] <phoenix7> my laptop is a hp compaq v3000 with this output of lspci for its sound card. "00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)". the problem is when i plug a headphone to its port both headphone and speakers work :(
[12:12] <kritzstapf> GoFcukYourself: im not expecting my father to use fluxbox
[12:12] <Paddy_EIRE> phoenix7: thats odd
[12:12] <screenname92834> hello
[12:12] <screenname92834> folks, does anyone know about opengl and its libraries?
[12:12] <phoenix7> Paddy_EIRE: how can i solve it?
[12:12] <xiantia> why knetworkmanager after manuel config, don't want list all wifi acces point, how i can reset manuel config , please ?
[12:13] <teKnofreak> phoenix7, it happens to me too, since long
[12:13] <GoFcukYourself> kritzstapf: i don't know about him.. i'm just saying fluxbox would be blazing fast compared to xfce
[12:13] <Paddy_EIRE> kritzstapf: looks pretty idiot proof to me http://www.freesbie.org/share/1.1/manual/fluxbox.png
[12:13] <ranael> hi
[12:13] <ranael> how do i install ubuntu on a USB stick?
[12:14] <GoFcukYourself> and yeah, fluxbox isn't that hard actually
[12:14] <Paddy_EIRE> ranael: google 'install ubuntu usb stick
[12:14] <GoFcukYourself> you just have to know how to configure some config files.. those are easy too
[12:14] <phoenix7> teKnofreak, Paddy_EIRE: it is related to alsa driver (snd-hda-intel) and in windoze all things are right.
[12:15] <ranael> okay
[12:15] <kritzstapf> Paddy_EIRE: looks pretty ugly to me
[12:15] <Paddy_EIRE> kritzstapf: hmm, must be a matter of taste I think its pretty nice
[12:16] <ranael> i don't find any good tutorial.
[12:16] <kritzstapf> anyway, editing config files is not the he likes to configure thinks, and i dont want to do such things for him everyday :D
[12:16] <kritzstapf> +way
[12:17] <Paddy_EIRE> ranael: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5151 <-- this took like 2 secs to find ;)
[12:17] <Paddy_EIRE> kritzstapf: well thats what he has you for
[12:17] <ranael> Paddy_EIRE: that one didn't help me much
[12:17] <MonkeyFit> anybody know how to get an 8800GTX wroking?
[12:17] <kritzstapf> Paddy_EIRE: interesting

[12:22] <KenSentMe> How do you open a file that contains a & in it's name in terminal? The shell doesn't accept the &
[12:23] <zyclop> KenSentMe, how about \& ?
[12:23] <kritzstapf> Paddy_EIRE: atm hes using gnome without having much problems with speed, i think xfce would be okay.
[12:23] <Paddy_EIRE> no probs
[12:23] <KenSentMe> zyclop, yep, that's it! Thanks
[12:24] <zyclop> KenSentMe, np
[12:24] <kahrytan> xfce is nice
[12:25] <kritzstapf> hm, xubuntu-desktop contains abiword etc., is there another metapaket containing less apps?
[12:26] <Paddy_EIRE> kritzstapf: apt-get install xfce
[12:26] <Paddy_EIRE> ?
[12:26] <kritzstapf> there is no paket called xfce
[12:26] <kritzstapf> ?
[12:26] <Paddy_EIRE> 1 sec
[12:26] <faileas> apt-cache search xfce ;)
[12:26] <kahrytan> xubuntu-desktop would install xfce
[12:26] <faileas> (don't include the ;)! )
[12:27] <GoFcukYourself> apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[12:27] <kahrytan> it is metapackage
[12:27] <Paddy_EIRE> kritzstapf: xfce4
[12:27] <kritzstapf> are you ignoring the question and just throwing in some useless comments?
[12:27] <kritzstapf> i know about xubuntu-desktop
[12:27] <Paddy_EIRE> err
[12:27] <Paddy_EIRE> kritzstapf: what?
[12:28] <kritzstapf> Paddy_EIRE: not you
[12:28] <Paddy_EIRE> oh
[12:28] <kritzstapf> Paddy_EIRE: thanks to you :)
[12:28] <hca> Why do some computers allow downloads while others says they are not available?
[12:28] <Paddy_EIRE> hca: explain in more detail please
[12:29] <GoFcukYourself> hca: what?
[12:29] <Paddy_EIRE> maybe he's talking about repos
[12:30] <Paddy_EIRE> !repositories | hca
[12:30] <ubotu> hca: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[12:31] <hca> Well when we download games some will download onto the computers while other say the architecture doesn't support the programme.  All our PC are the same?
[12:31] <Paddy_EIRE> kritzstapf: what did that xfce4 package pull down with it app wise? is it big
[12:31] <hca> A bit confused!
[12:33] <SlimeyPete> hca: what game? how are you downloading it?
[12:33] <kritzstapf> Paddy_EIRE: would be: gtk2-engines-xfce libexo-0.3-0 libthunar-vfs-1-2 libxfce4mcs-client3  libxfce4mcs-manager3 libxfce4util4 libxfcegui4-4 thunar xfce4  xfce4-icon-theme xfce4-mcs-manager xfce4-mcs-plugins xfce4-panel  xfce4-session xfce4-utils xfdesktop4 xfwm4 xfwm4-themes
[12:33] <laskar> orange
[12:33] <Paddy_EIRE> kritzstapf: hmm, that aint bad
[12:33] <hca> We are downloading it via "Add/remove"
[12:34] <laskar> putra_dewa
[12:34] <GoFcukYourself> i find xfce more difficult to configure than fluxbox
[12:34] <Paddy_EIRE> hca: your saying the computers are all the same, are all the versions of ubuntu the same
[12:35] <hca> Yes they are
[12:35] <hca> We installed them from the same cd
[12:39] <rents> Jordan_U, reinstalling :P
[12:39] <rents> whole os
[12:39] <rents> gutsy this time
[12:40] <Jordan_U> rents, Almost certainly not necessary, but OK. Also, don't expect Gutsy to be in any way hassle free...
[12:40] <ootm> Can someone tell me how I can see / monitor my cpu temperature using ubuntu server ( no GUI )?
[12:41] <lousygarua> is there a /dev/**something** for the touchpad on a laptop?
[12:41] <Paddy_EIRE> if I was to 'sudo aptitude install gtk2-engines-gtk-qt' would that automatically switch to that theme engine or is there something else I must do?
[12:42] <Paddy_EIRE> is it a theme in the theme-manager perhaps
[12:42] <rents> Jordan_U, any experiences with gutsy+beryl?
[12:42] <zyclop> ootm, sensord, perhaps?
[12:42] <isidoro> hi
[12:43] <Jordan_U> rents, Gutsy comes with Compiz Fusion, #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy though
[12:43] <ootm> zyclop, thanks ill google it :)
[12:43] <isidoro> I have a problem with a usb pen stik
[12:43] <rents> ok, thanks
[12:43] <isidoro> ubuntu mount that stik with a ipod icons
[12:43] <zyclop> ootm, maybe read the manpage, too
[12:43] <isidoro> but that's not a ipod
[12:44] <ootm> zyclop, ah yes of course :) thank you
[12:44] <zyclop> ootm, np
[12:44] <isidoro> :-(
[12:48] <brain_in_vat> hi, I have a G4 Mac Mini which is running Breezy. What's the easiest way to upgrade to something current? Can I use apt-get to do so?
[12:49] <carmine> exit
[12:51] <kritzstapf> brain_in_vat: the best way would be reinstalling probably
[12:51] <brain_in_vat> kritzstapf: that's a hassle for backing up information
[12:51] <brain_in_vat> but I can do it if necessary
[12:51] <brain_in_vat> the information isn't absolutely criticial
[12:51] <brain_in_vat> so I was hoping to do it with a package manager
[12:52] <kritzstapf> thats why ive got /home on an extra partition ;)
[12:52] <brain_in_vat> yeh, but I don't want to bother with all of that

[01:11] <mosno> guys, please help -- i need to stop my Asus F3SV's 1680x1050 LCD from making a "ringing" noise when it runs at native res (Feisty, upstream NVIDIA drivers).
[01:11] <ootm> mosno, change the refresh a
[01:11] <mosno> I commented out the HorizSync, and set the VertRefesh to 60 or 50, neither prevents it like it did on Gentoo 2007.0
[01:11] <ootm> mosno, change the refresh rate?
[01:12] <ootm> hmmm
[01:12] <zyclop> I have problems with setting the console font. /etc/init.d/console-setup start sets it just fine, but when i switch to X and back to TTY, it's reverted to the standart font.
[01:12] <Quentusrex> I want to setup a Ligthhpd server to flv video's stored on a separate NFS server. Should I go with the newest release of Ubuntu or with 6.06? What are the pro's and con's of each?
[01:12] <romern> Hello, just installed ubuntu 6.06, need to know if i will reinstall a new 6.06 using the same CD to setup mythTV?
[01:12] <Quentusrex> to stream flv videos*
[01:12] <mosno> ootm, to what? It's on 1680x1050 (native), VertRefresh 50, no HorizSync. Maybe I should set the Horiz, or something else?
[01:13] <ootm> mosno, I cant tell you to what - check the monitor manual to see what refresh rates it support and try those
[01:13] <mosno> ootm, the manuals dont get specific
[01:13] <mosno> the website sucks
[01:13] <mosno> *Sigh*
[01:13] <Quentusrex> mosno, google it
[01:13] <mosno> Quentusrex, tried, i'll try again i suppose.
[01:13] <Quentusrex> somewhere you'll find a site selling your monitor that will say what the specks are.
[01:13] <Quentusrex> what model?
[01:13] <Quentusrex> I'll help
[01:13] <mosno> Asus F3SV
[01:13] <mosno> thanks

[01:14] <Ellon> hangs*
[01:15] <attunix> how do I start gnome from command line?
[01:15] <SlimeyPete> /etc/init.d/gdm start
[01:15] <SlimeyPete> should do it
[01:15] <SlimeyPete> well, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[01:15] <attunix> ok. thanks
[01:16] <mosno> Quentusrex, maybe i should try Envy?
[01:16] <Quentusrex> ?
[01:17] <Quentusrex> 15.4" WXGA+ (1440x900) TFT colour LCD
[01:17] <Quentusrex> that's your monitor. now google those specs
[01:18] <mosno> Quentusrex, wrong, it's a WSGXA+ (1680x1050).
[01:18] <Quentusrex> oh?
[01:18] <Quentusrex> ok
[01:18] <mosno> trying envy at the second
[01:18] <Ellon> anybody have a suggestion? i've been googling this for hours
[01:19] <Hairulfr> Ellon: Fixing your grub boot,
[01:19] <Quentusrex> I want a recommendation on whether to use 6.06 lts or a newer version for a lighttpd server that will stream flv files from a separate nfs server.
[01:19] <Hairulfr> Ellon: You need to boot of something I guess, to get a iso burned
[01:19] <mosno> Quentusrex, "
[01:19] <mosno> * Comment out the HorizSync and VertRefresh lines.
[01:19] <mosno> The nVidia driver will automagically adjust to the correct resolution without the need for the HorizSync/VertRefresh lines." --from http://gentoo-wiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Newpages&feed=rss
[01:20] <sudo_rm_-rf_> newer
[01:20] <sudo_rm_-rf_> probable due to stabilty
[01:20] <sudo_rm_-rf_> but 6.06 is a lts
[01:20] <Ellon> well i'm booting into ubuntu just fine atm
[01:21] <sudo_rm_-rf_> i got a lamp setup working on 7.04 but i guess it's preference really

[01:21] <mosno> that did it :)
[01:22] <mosno> i can still sort of hear it, but it's less now (or i got used to it... hrm)
[01:22] <triplc> Hi all
[01:22] <screenname92834> hi folks
[01:23] <screenname92834> folks, I have a problem running a newly installed app
[01:23] <sudo_rm_-rf_> hi
[01:23] <aa__> hell
[01:23] <aa__> hello
[01:23] <triplc> Where /etc/inittab? I need to do several things that I used to do it with /etc/inittab.
[01:23] <sudo_rm_-rf_> ok what's wrong
[01:23] <aa__> help me
[01:23] <screenname92834> it just produces error no code for module (gtk gtk)
[01:23] <aa__> i can't install my software
[01:24] <sudo_rm_-rf_> ok
[01:24] <SlimeyPete> aa__: what software? what error are you getting?
[01:24] <triplc> (1) I want to disable login in tty1 (getty), so, the login should be only in tty2 (text, no GUI, no GDM). How to do it without /etc/inittab?
[01:25] <triplc> (2) I want press ctrl-alt-del to "halt" instead of "reboot". How to do that in Ubuntu. please help.
[01:25] <mosno> triplc, why not mod inittab accordingly'
[01:25] <mosno> read man 5 inittab
[01:25] <triplc> ok, let me read the man page
[01:25] <jrib> triplc: /etc/inittab is replaced by /etc/event.d/* in upstart.  If no one here knows and the upstart docs don't answer your question, try #upstart too
[01:26] <jrib> !upstart > triplc (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:26] <triplc> man inittab---> No manual entry for inittab (!)
[01:26] <screenname92834> so I run my app and it says error no code for module (gtk gtk) and quite
[01:26] <screenname92834> quite
[01:26] <screenname92834> quits
[01:26] <sudo_rm_-rf_> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_disable_Ctrl.2BAlt.2BDel_from_restarting_computer_in_Console_mode
[01:26] <sudo_rm_-rf_> for the ctrl alt del thing
[01:27] <jrib> screenname92834: what application?  pastebin the entire output
[01:27] <sudo_rm_-rf_> change the syntax for shutdown command
[01:27] <mosno> whoa, i missed upstart, it's been a while since i've been back on Ubuntu :)
[01:27] <sudo_rm_-rf_> to -h to shutdown not restart
[01:27] <screenname92834> the application is called chart and it's part of the gnu software lib I think
[01:27] <triplc> jrib, thanks
[01:27] <triplc> sudo_rm_-rf_, thanks
[01:27] <sudo_rm_-rf_> niceto hear
[01:28] <screenname92834> sorry what is pastebin?
[01:29] <jrib> !pastebin > screenname92834 (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:35] <thecross> hello. having some problems with my sound. When i test the sound play back in Sound preferences i get this error message: "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not get/set settings from/on resource." and ideas would be much appreciated.

[01:40] <sudo_rm_-rf_> network
[01:40] <sudo_rm_-rf_> samba my friend
[01:40] <Ellon> samba i think
[01:40] <agresor> samba ?
[01:40] <ziroday> !samba | sudo_rm_-rf_
[01:40] <ubotu> sudo_rm_-rf_: 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

[01:41] <Trist_an> Ellon did you install ubuntu after or before Windows?
[01:41] <Ellon> after
[01:42] <Ellon> i can still access all my windows files from within ubuntu
[01:42] <Trist_an> but you can't boot windows while you can in ubuntu?
[01:42] <screenname92834> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34787/
[01:42] <Ellon> right
[01:43] <SoLpeX> sudo_rm_-rf: I cant find naultus :/
[01:44] <sudo_rm_-rf_> SoLpeX what do you want to do?
[01:44] <kauer> if anyone here has used an external USB audio card or audio digitiser with Ubuntu, I'd like to hear about your experiences, and what hardware you used. If anyone has used the ARTcessories Phono Plus (previously known as the Micro PRE) that would be very interesting.
[01:44] <riniver> Is there a utility or way to get the ubuntu system manager to display current cpu usage in the same way that the windows equivalent does?
[01:45] <sudo_rm_-rf_> gkrellm
[01:45] <kauer> neverblue: Did you make any progress with your cron/xset problem?
[01:45] <serenityUK> Ellon: the only difference with my one is it say root instead of rootnoverify.... i don't no if that makes a difference
[01:45] <sudo_rm_-rf_> gnome system  monitor
[01:45] <Ellon> i've tried both with the same result
[01:45] <Ellon> most things i've found with google say rootnoverify should be used for windows
[01:45] <SoLpeX> <sudo_rm_-rf_ I w ant to see how much disk space I have left
[01:45] <emeriste> riniver, I think I saw something like that available to be added to the panel.
[01:46] <Hylk0r> when I execute a program with gksu, sys.getuid() doesn't return 0, how come? And how can I know that a program has root access?
[01:46] <emeriste> Riniver -- You know the panels at the top or bottom of your screen?
[01:46] <riniver> yes
[01:46] <kauer> Hylk0r: try geteuid
[01:46] <emeriste> right click on one of your panels and then click on 'add to panel'
[01:46] <Hylk0r> ok thanks kauer
[01:47] <digitalspaghetti> Whats the easiest way for me to add a java application to my paths so i can execute it via command line anywhere, rather than /having/to/point/to/the/directory  ?
[01:47] <sudo_rm_-rf_> SoLpeX click computer then the disk drive right click then there will be a summary of the space avaliable
[01:47] <Pici> screenname92834: What program is giving that output?
[01:47] <emeriste> When you click on 'add to panel' that brings up a window. Go to the category of stuff you can add called, 'system hardware'
[01:47] <screenname92834> pici: it's called chart.
[01:48] <SoLpeX> okay thanks
[01:48] <mosno> secret maryo chronicles sucks when your keyboard 'forgets' you're holding run
[01:48] <Pici> screenname92834: How did you install it? Is it in the repos?
[01:48] <emeriste> There's something there called, 'System Monitor'
[01:48] <screenname92834> can someone just tell me how you get the username of the person you're talking to at the start of your msg?
[01:48] <riniver> emeriste: Got it, thanks
[01:48] <Pici> !tab | screenname92834 :)
[01:48] <ubotu> screenname92834 :): You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:48] <emeriste> Cool.
[01:48] <Venko> How do I go about setting up an entire filesystem as a shared folder through the command line?
[01:48] <screenname92834> !tab | pici testo
[01:48] <ubotu> pici testo: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[01:48] <Pici> screenname92834: the tab key...
[01:49] <screenname92834> oh right!
[01:49] <screenname92834> ha ha
[01:49] <Pici> screenname92834: i.e.: i type sc<tab> and it completes your name
[01:49] <sudo_rm_-rf_> yup
[01:49] <kauer> digitalspaghetti: Probbalythe simplest way is to put the whole invocation into a script, then run the script. If you keep your Java stuff in one place, you could also set up a CLASSPATH in your .bashrc or whatever, so that jars etc are found from wherever you are. It depends a bit on whether you run jars or classes.
[01:49] <screenname92834> sudo_rm_-rf_:
[01:49] <screenname92834> screenname92834:
[01:50] <sudo_rm_-rf_> screenname92834: ?
[01:50] <screenname92834> Pi
[01:50] <Ellon> screenname92834: you can change your nick with /nick NewNick
[01:50] <screenname92834> yes indeed
[01:50] <screenname92834> so this application
[01:50] <diegete> wenas
[01:50] <Ellon> ya know if you want something more personalized
[01:50] <screenname92834> I'll get the url out
[01:50] <IdleOne> screenname92834: best to type the first 3 letters
[01:50] <diegete> hello
[01:50] <digitalspaghetti> kauer, it's a jar
[01:50] <kauer> long clever screen names are a pain in the proverbial unless they are unique in the first couple of characters.
[01:50] <fruitbatJim>  I have two OSs on my hd, ubuntu and xp pro.....but there are 5 partitions. I can account for the two main ones and the linux swap, but why the two others - named 'extended' and 'unknown'
[01:51] <screenname92834> kauer: agreed.
[01:51] <digitalspaghetti> kauer, but i don't keep my classes in one place, it's just a simple application for compressing javascript
[01:51] <kauer> digitalspaghetti: OK, then either solution will do. CLASSPATH in your profile, or write scripts. Personally I'd write scripts.
[01:51] <digitalspaghetti> ok, i'll look for a tutorial on writing bash scripts
[01:51] <m0u5e> does anyone know if the window manager uses direct rendering to the graphics card by default?
[01:51] <screenname92834> Pici: http://directory.fsf.org/productivity/stock/chart.html
[01:52] <m0u5e> if not, how do we enable it?
[01:52] <serenityUK> fruitbatJim, extended partitions have other logical partitions inside them... because the old pc HD could only have 4 main  partitions
[01:52] <ron__> how can I change my task bars to a prettier ones? (I want it big, shiny and preffered glittery) and does anyone have a recommandation of a theme with LARGE icons and all shiny things?
[01:52] <nalpha> how to run beryl? I'm already install it.
[01:52] <ipx> beryl-manager
[01:53] <sudo_rm_-rf_> ron__: check out gnomelook.org
[01:53] <Pici> screenname92834: Did you install it with the .deb or did you compile from source?
[01:53] <fruitbatJim> thaznks serenityUK
[01:53] <nalpha> ipx: and?
[01:53] <ron__> under which category?
[01:53] <ipx> you have the manager in your system tray, there you can activate it etc
[01:53] <sudo_rm_-rf_> ron__: it's got a lotta theme's skin's etc
[01:53] <ipx> read a guidew
[01:53] <ipx> its alot easier
[01:53] <serenityUK> fruitbatJim, so you could have 3 old logical partitions and one extended with could have loads more old ones inside.. it's a workaround to stay compatible with 80s pcs
[01:53] <ron__> yeh, but I don't know what the terms means
[01:53] <serenityUK> which*
[01:54] <nalpha> ipx: where is the guide?
[01:54] <ron__> like, what is GTK?
[01:54] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: check ubuntubuide.
[01:54] <ipx> nalpha: there's alot of guides
[01:54] <sudo_rm_-rf_> it's in the wiki
[01:54] <kauer> digitalspaghetti: it's not hard. lets say you need to start your Java proggy by setting a classpath and executing some_very-long_complicated_command. Just create a text file called (say) "proggy". Make the first line "#!/bin/sh", make the secodn line a classpath declaration like "export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/my/jarfile", and the third line is your long complicated command. Save the file, "chmod u+x filename" and you can now just run "proggy" and forge
[01:54] <ipx> first of all, ask questions related to desktop effects in #ubuntu-effects
[01:54] <ipx> :)
[01:55] <kauer> digitalspaghetti: that's "chmod u+x proggy" of course :-)
[01:55] <screenname92834> Pici: I compiled it from source. Is Ubuntu a debian system?
[01:55] <boontoo> i would like to report a bug
[01:55] <riniver> So noone knows a way of getting flash player working with Firefox 64-bit?
[01:55] <boontoo> where do i report the bug?

[01:56] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: what's wrong
[01:56] <screenname92834> Pici: it took me ages to get all the associated libraries in place
[01:56] <boontoo> can someone post it for me im not registered =(
[01:56] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: one command user's should never use
[01:57] <Pici> boontoo: It would be best if you registered yourself.
[01:57] <denni1> Hey there, i need some help... How can i change the mount point, and how will it affect the data on the partition?
[01:57] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: If we put your name on a console,doesn't it will delete entire system?
[01:57] <boontoo> finnnnnnnnnne
[01:57] <[GF] Thor^^> hi
[01:57] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: yes every thing + forced
[01:57] <[GF] Thor^^> how can i setup C Compiler so it can make executables?
[01:58] <jrib> [GF] Thor^^: what are you compiling?
[01:58] <[GF] Thor^^> eggdrop
[01:58] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: so the system may not be booting again? you already try that??
[01:58] <boontoo> anyway just so the channel knows, if you have trouble playing back videos specifically such as windows video formats .avi and the likes, turn off desktop effects and it solves it
[01:58] <jrib> [GF] Thor^^: no need to compile eggdrop, it is in ubuntu's universe repository.  Use your favorite package manager to install it
[01:58] <faileas> [GF] Thor^^: i think build-essential is what ya need
[01:58] <sudo_rm_-rf_> denni1: change the mount point's in fstab
[01:58] <saxin> where can I find some nice wallpapers for my ubuntu desktop?
[01:58] <denni1> hey, can anyone help me???
[01:58] <serenityUK> denni1, it won't effect the data it will be safe but it might effect the permissions such as making it readonly.. as root edit the file:   sudo gedit /etc/fstab
[01:58] <jrib> !themes > saxin (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:58] <[GF] Thor^^> oh =P
[01:58] <[GF] Thor^^> ty ^^
[01:58] <sudo_rm_-rf_> saxin: check out gnome look
[01:59] <boontoo> saxin: www.gnome-look.org i believe
[01:59] <jrib> saxin: you can try places like devianart in addition to what ubotu sent you
[01:59] <jrib> saxin: deviantart even
[01:59] <kauer> nalpha: No, sudo_rm_-rf_ is not dangerous as is. The underscores defuse it, plus there is no filespec following. You'd need to tweak it quite a bit to do any damage with it.
[01:59] <saxin> jrib: Yeah, any other suggestions than deviantart?
[01:59] <digitalspaghetti> kauer, ok got that - now how do i pass in a variable?  the command for example is java -jar yuicompressor-1.1.jar myjsfile.js
[01:59] <jrib> saxin: ubotu sent you a list in a private message, do you see it?
[01:59] <saxin> yes
[01:59] <digitalspaghetti> so I would like to do ./jscompress myjsfile.js
[01:59] <sudo_rm_-rf_> kauer: yeah just seeing how stupid new user would be
[02:00] <nalpha> kauer: I know to run it.. heheh5x. but never I'll run it. thanx all
[02:00] <saxin> jrib: but that is not what I'm looking for.
[02:00] <jrib> saxin: then you need to be more specific
[02:00] <saxin> Its a well-known page like deviantart.. but i cant remember the name
[02:00] <saxin> with high-res wallpapers
[02:00] <kauer> sudo_rm_-rf_: Ignorant is not the same as stupid. Don't confuse the two, and try not to insult people.
[02:00] <[GF] Thor^^> ok, where is the eggdrop config located? /etc?
[02:00] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: there's a youtube vid of some guy doing it on a fresh ubuntu install
[02:00] <screenname92834> ignorant is not the same as nescient either
[02:01] <screenname92834> people always confuse the two.
[02:01] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: wew, do y ou know the link?
[02:01] <IdleOne> !offtopic
[02:01] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:01] <TheMafia> how can I make a program use my java 5 install instead of my java 6 install?
[02:01] <denni1> serenityUK, can i also do it from the LiveCD?
[02:02] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: http://youtube.com/watch?v=tWtby4JpD1k
[02:02] <nalpha> thanx
[02:02] <kauer> digitalspaghetti: the command line parms are $0 $1 $2 etc. $0 is the name of the script though, not that useful. a common idiom is to grab a required parm into a better name, like "INFILE=$1 ; /do/something/to $INFILE"
[02:02] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: http://youtube.com/watch?v=syzc8IiLz48
[02:02] <serenityUK> denni1, you mean to change an ubuntu installed on your hd or to mount temporarily while in liveCD?
[02:03] <cpilka> hi folks. i have some trouble running nfs server. after few hours of working i always get a "lockd: server xx.xx.xx.xx not responding, timed out". anyone here has a hint what's going wrong there?
[02:03] <sudo_rm_-rf_> both are pretty funny
[02:03] <digitalspaghetti> got it kauer, thanks :)
[02:03] <Jones> hello?
[02:03] <serenityUK> welcome Jones
[02:04] <[GF] Thor^^> ok, where is the eggdrop config located? /etc?
[02:04] <sudo_rm_-rf_> hi Jones
[02:04] <moo2> I just started using ubuntu for serious work for the first time - I do like the polish on this baby -- using 7.04 a few quirks at the start - but smooth sailing now -- I'm liking it!! -- I just wanted to say great work!!!!!!!!!!!!
[02:04] <Jones> Hi I just installed UBUNTU today and installed a whole bunch of apps, restarted, then all of a sudden it pups up with "Internal Error, Failed to initialize HAL" and now all wireless and networking are stuffed
[02:04] <Jones> Greetings everyone ^^
[02:05] <sudo_rm_-rf_> moo2: much apreciated
[02:05] <Jones> Just wondering if I could get some help on the matter, I'm kind of new to this OS, my computer skills are average >.<
[02:05] <sudo_rm_-rf_> Jones: Yes
[02:06] <throvold> im having a typical problem running beryl on ubuntu dapper drake (6.06LTS)
[02:06] <denni1> serenityUK, my problem is that i've destroyed my Ubuntu-installation by changing my partitions or something, and now im going to install a new ubuntu from the livecd but i want to save data... i've put the data to an empty partition, but i want the mounting point to be different.. should i wait changing mounting point untill after installation, or can i use the installation to do that?
[02:07] <throvold> i've installed the 96.39 nvidia drivers, fine, update the xorg.conf file ok with the correct settings im aware of
[02:07] <Jones> Any ideas? >.<
[02:07] <throvold> but beryl-manager just gives me the black screen, then re-runs GDM, anyone have a clue as to what i should do?
[02:07] <denni1> have someone in here tried the dell xps m1330?
[02:08] <nandan> hi
[02:08] <[GF] Thor^^> where is the eggdrop config located? /etc?
[02:09] <jrib> [GF] Thor^^: tried reading /usr/share/doc/eggdrop/README.Debian ?
[02:09] <serenityUK> denni1, when you install after language etc choose manual partitioning instead of let ubuntu mange my partition... then you can pick a partition to mount as / from drop down menu and others will say things like /media/sda2 you can change to /media/mystuff or something
[02:09] <digitalspaghetti> kauer, I'm getting there but still need help:  http://digitalspaghetti.pastebin.ca/667854
[02:09] <sudo_rm_-rf_> [GF] Thor^^: most probably
[02:09] <[GF] Thor^^> thanks Jrib
[02:09] <digitalspaghetti> that script gets me as far as Unable to access jarfile :/home/digitalspaghetti/Tools/yuicompressor/build/yuicompressor-1.1.jar
[02:10] <denni1> serenityUK, and the data on the partition will not be gone after installation?
[02:10] <decay> how do i install my own program in linux? for example, i'd like to type "my_script" in console instead of "python my_script.py"
[02:10] <serenityUK> denni1, no that will set up you /etc/fstab for you.. just don't install ubuntu over the top of it lol... you said the data was on a spare partition?
[02:10] <throvold> Anyone know how to solve the black screen problem, with beryl?

[02:11] <marbrunner> @denni1, be suare that u dond format the partition
[02:11] <jrib> [GF] Thor^^: there's an example one in usr/share/doc/eggdrop-data/examples/eggdrop.conf.gz .  You can probably copy somewhere, modify it how you want, and then tell eggdrop where it is.  Check 'man eggdrop' to see either where it looks by default or how to pass a custom conf file (-m I believe)

[02:15] <vlt> Hello. Afer an upgrade from Edgy to Feisty the system only boots to runlevel "unknown". I have to run `telinit 3` (sic!) to run all the daemons listed in /etc/rc3.d/ -- `telinit 2` leads to "unknown", too. apt-get dist-upgrade returns "0 ..., 0 ..., 0 ..., 0 ..." so everything should be in a proper state. Any idea which pkg to fix and how?
[02:15] <serenityUK> if you type someones nick in s sentence Jones it will highlight it.. there is also TAB to autocomplete a nick

[02:16] <kauer> digitalspaghetti: For a jar in a classpath you need the full path and name of the jar file to be in the class path. You just have the path. However, in this case, because you have a jar file, you don't need the class path at all - just provide the full path to the jar file and all will be well. What you've got won't work because even in the best case you've added a colon to the front of the path. The path, as you are using it, is not a class path, it's just a
[02:16] <nalpha> I'm already install beryl and emerald-themes how to start it?
[02:16] <vlt> nalpha: `beryl-manager`
[02:16] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: use beryl manager
[02:16] <nalpha> vlt: command not found
[02:17] <serenityUK> Jones, i'm looking at similar in the forums... can you look in System->Admin->Services and see if (dbus) is ticked near the bottom
[02:17] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: where is the beryl manager?
[02:17] <wanger> decay: yeah that'd work, sorry i didn't read your question properly the first time, to make it executable you need to put a #! /usr/bin/python at the beginning of the script and make it executable with chmod
[02:17] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: system tools
[02:17] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: I Just found beryl-setting-manager
[02:18] <msjones> aloha
[02:18] <serenityUK> Jones System Communications Bus (dbus)
[02:18] <Jones> serenityUK:  yes it is ticked
[02:18] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: make a shell script with this
[02:18] <decay> wanger, thanks
[02:18] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: beryl-manager
[02:18] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: beryl
[02:18] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: then execute it
[02:18] <vlt> nalpha: /usr/bin/beryl-manager belongs to the pkg beryl-manager.
[02:18] <kauer> Jeez I hate it when i compose a great long helpful message and send it only to find out the recipient has left! Grr. What a waste of my time.
[02:19] <emeriste> You could post it and maybe those of us who are lurking will benefit.
[02:19] <msjones> can anyone recommend the best bluetooth adapter for ub?
[02:19] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: does it work
[02:19] <lousygarua> when using dual-monitors with a single X screen, can i set the gnome-panels to be only on one of the monitors instead of spanning on both?
[02:20] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: does it work??
[02:20] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: hm... beryl-manager command doesn't recognized, but I executed beryl, and it's running now... ? how come???
[02:20] <FelixFrankeser> Hi!
[02:20] <FelixFrankeser> Is Ubuntu + Quicktime possible?
[02:20] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: that's odd cos beryl comes with beryl manager
[02:21] <serenityUK> Jones are you mounting any network SMB drives in fstab?
[02:21] <kauer> lousygarua: If you use go to the panel properties and turn off expand, I think it will only gro enough to accomodate the items on it. Otherwise it expands to span the screen.
[02:21] <magnetron> not the quicktime software, but you can still watch quicktime videos
[02:21] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: and with beryl manager you can choose which window manager you want
[02:21] <Jones> serenityUK: sorry I dont know what that means, it's just a normal laptop :P
[02:21] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: woop's
[02:21] <lousygarua> kauer: yeah i was thinking of it as a temporary solution
[02:21] <sudo_rm_-rf_> beryl manager is a seperate packager
 install mplayer (sudo apt-get mplayer-nogui
[02:21] <sudo_rm_-rf_> beryl manager is a seperate package
[02:22] <serenityUK> Jones it means mounting windows drives over network
this supports .mov and .3gp extensions
[02:22] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: wew, I don't know about it, but I try install beryl with sudo apt-get install beryl, now I install beryl-manager... :)
[02:22] <kauer> lousygarua: I don't understand. It's permanent until you change it. You can change it any time.
[02:22] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: also install (sudo apt-get install beryl-manager_
[02:23] <Jones> serenityUK: I do have a windows installation on a separate partition, but other than that, no drivers over network
[02:23] <daedra> sudo_rm_-rf: your name is EVIL
[02:23] <lousygarua> kauer: well, yeah. but i don't use the dual monitor all the time and when single monitored i'd like my panel to expand :) (laptop that is)
[02:23] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: oh yeah thanx alot
[02:23] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: apreciated
[02:23] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: It's right isn't your name is annoying the others :)

[02:23] <ToddEDM> hey guys.... how do i share a partition on  my network...
[02:23] <sudo_rm_-rf_> daedra: it's not evil unless you put it in a terminal
[02:23] <TheMafia> what are the paths that java uses?  I want to force a program to use 1.5 instead of 1.6
[02:24] <daedra> sudo_rm_-rf: all you need to do is change it to sudo_rm_-rf_/* and its uber evil

[02:24] <netcrash__> Hello , I need a fast install simple wiki to work has a Diary, any ideas ?
[02:24] <sudo_rm_-rf_> daedra: not as much as dd with /dev/null
[02:24] <kauer> lousygarua: So you want it to automatically figure out whether or not it should expand across both screens? It depends upon whether your second screen is still "there" even if not connected. Personally I think two clicks is not a high price to pay....
[02:24] <serenityUK> Jones can you try opening a terminal an pasting:  sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
[02:24] <kauer> lousygarua: sorry, three clicks.

[02:25] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. Help in #ubuntu-effects
[02:25] <AfterDeath> sudo_rm_-rf_: no, they're pretty much equally evil
[02:25] <kauer> lousygarua: argh, OK, four :-)
[02:25] <lousygarua> kauer: well, this non-expand trick doesn't work with the window-list when many windows are opened....
[02:25] <Jones> serenityUK: I'll do that now
[02:25] <lousygarua> kauer: just looking for a more elegant way to fix that :)
[02:25] <sudo_rm_-rf_> AfterDeath: only the insane and stupid use them for evil
[02:25] <adamk> Anyone know I can get Ubuntu to *not* overwrite my xorg.conf file when it first boots up and detects a different video card from last time?
[02:25] <humbolto>  I forgot my luksKeyPhrase. At least I don't remember exactly. I want to write a file with all combinations I think it could be and run luksOpen for each line. I know how to read the file line by line in bash, but my cryptsetup thing does not work, since I am testing it with a partition I still remember the passphrase of.
[02:25] <daedra> sudo_take_bat_to_motherboard?
[02:25] <humbolto> Can anybody help me with the proper cryptsetup command?
[02:26] <humbolto> This is what I have and what does not work: while read line; do echo "$line" | sudo cryptsetup -d - luksOpen /dev/loop0 testcrypt ; done < asboe/phrases2
[02:26] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: also it's recommend to install beryl-settings to be able to tweak it
[02:26] <nalpha> hey anyone will stop to destroying ubuntu with sudo rm rf / ??? Heres's the support channel, not evil channel :)
[02:26] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: okey
[02:26] <TheMafia> tar cvf - / --exclude "/proc/*" --exclude "/lost+found/*" --exclude "/dev/*" --exclude "/mnt/*" --exclude "/media/*" --exclude "/sys/*" | ssh cdavis@192.168.0.30 "gzip -c > /home/cdavis/omerta.tar.gz"
[02:26] <Jones> serenityUK: ok done, it opened my file browser
[02:26] <TheMafia> why won't my tar command actually exclude those files?
[02:26] <sudo_rm_-rf_> daedra: nice sudo
[02:27] <kauer> lousygarua: If your laptop can't tell whether the second monitor is there or not (i.e., it still expands the panel across a non-existent screen) then I don't see how you can automate it. You might be able to do something with the stored panel properties, I suppose, to at least reduce it to a single click....
[02:27] <Jones> serenityUK: if I click on the network connection icon, it says that no network devices were found
[02:27] <serenityUK> Jones now try:  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[02:27] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: how beryl??
[02:28] <lousygarua> kauer: actually, my nvidia allows me to use the two monitors as two seperate x screens, but that requires x restart and i hate losing all my progs... damn linux
[02:28] <sungod> .........
[02:28] <sungod> it's nice day.........

[02:29] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: it's nice, but heavy in my integrated graphic processor :)
[02:29] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: what graphics

[02:29] <fsckr> morning ubuntu.  Can anyone recommend a good todo application that notifies me of upcoming appts or events other than evolution?
[02:29] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: i run beryl with intergrated graphics on a laptop (intel) run's great
[02:30] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: I don't know came with my asus motherboards, it's seems intel...
[02:30] <sudo_rm_-rf_> fsckr: sunbird
[02:30] <serenityUK> Jones maybe click on network icon to manual setup
[02:30] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: yups
[02:30] <Jones> serenityUK: yep
[02:30] <fsckr> sudo_rm_-rf_, isn't that an email proggy?
[02:30] <nalpha> sudo_rm_-rf_: sry, I means runs good, but not fast enough...
[02:30] <sudo_rm_-rf_> nalpha: intel suplies open source drivers with 3d acceleration
[02:30] <fsckr> sudo_rm_-rf_, ill look into it
[02:30] <sudo_rm_-rf_> fsckr: it's a time management app as well
[02:31] <fsckr> sudo_rm_-rf_, ok thx my friend
[02:31] <sudo_rm_-rf_> fsckr: there's no deb in repo's but there's a shell script in the tar gz which work's great

[02:32] <Miravlix> Greetings, anyone know if upstart init, support sysvinit's way of restarting it self to upgrade the code without a machine reboot?
[02:32] <rickjones> i'm upgrading to feisty and i keep geting an error : W:mdadm: no arrays defined in configuration file.
[02:33] <rickjones> is this important ?
[02:33] <Jones> serenityUK: there is nothing in there, no connections whatsoever
[02:33] <ToddEDM> does anyone know what im talking about>?
[02:33] <serenityUK> Jones there seem to be other people on the forums with same problem by searching for "Failed to initialize HAL" but different solutions to fix..
[02:34] <serenityUK> Jones do you know how to use synaptic?  try reinstalling dbus and HAL
[02:34] <Jones> serenityUK: ok I will try
[02:34] <hjmills> hi - how do I compile something to install into /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin?
[02:35] <Miravlix> rickjones: Do you use raid? mdadm is the raid tools, so it's only important if you setup a raid.
[02:35] <sudo_rm_-rf_> hjmills: should be in the config
[02:35] <sudo_rm_-rf_> hjmills: or make file
[02:35] <serenityUK> Jones System->Admin->Synaptic then search for dbus and HAL seperately then ightclick and mark for reinstallation
[02:35] <hjmills> sudo_rm_-rf_, any way I can change it at compile time?
[02:35] <rickjones> Miravlix : no sadly i'm not. so it's not important for anytrhing else but RAID ? ok, thanks.
[02:36] <Jones> serenityUK: yeah it's reinstalling now
[02:36] <fsckr> hjmills, i think there are options with /.configure look at the read me of what you are building
[02:36] <sudo_rm_-rf_> hjmills: ./configure
[02:36] <hjmills> fsckr, thanks
[02:36] <hjmills> sudo_rm_-rf_, thanks
[02:36] <fsckr> sudo_rm_-rf_, typo :P
[02:36] <rickjones> one other thing, why is the feisty upgrade take so long? would be nice to have it automated, these breaks when it asks for user imput make it a long install when you can't sit by the machine for 2 hours
[02:36] <serenityUK> Jones then I guess reboot and cross fingers lol
[02:36] <Jones> serenityUK: haha

[02:37] <Miravlix> rickjones: Not sure, it didn't take more than a few minutes for me, I guess the primary slowdown is in the amount that needs to be downloaded.
[02:37] <rickjones> could just be me then, ok cheers guys
[02:38] <sudo_rm_-rf_> fsckr: how ya feeling
[02:38] <ToddEDM> guys, i really need some help.... when accessing  the linux server from my windows machine, it asks for a password..... its not my username/password......any i dea what it is?

[02:39] <sayanriju> can anyone confirm if Ubuntu can play ogg files out of the box, *without* installing codecs and all?
[02:39] <sudo_rm_-rf_> ToddEDM: check administration > shared folders
[02:40] <Jones> serenityUK: would it be advisable to do another installation? Even though I would like to know how it got to this situation
[02:40] <ToddEDM> sudo_rm_-rf_:  thats where i made the share.. i will go back and check
[02:40] <hjmills> fsckr, yeah, hope its all ok
[02:40] <sudo_rm_-rf_> sayanriju: ogg is open source so yes i guess
[02:40] <serenityUK> Jones did you do HAL as well as dbus?
[02:40] <sudo_rm_-rf_> ToddEDM: it should be there

[02:41] <sudo_rm_-rf_> but i don't wann boot a live cd
[02:41] <hjmills> what would happen if I had two different programs with the same name, one in /usr/bin and the other in /usr/local/bin with them both in the path?

[02:41] <sudo_rm_-rf_> sayanriju: appreciated
[02:42] <fsckr> hjmills, make a separate symlink to each program
[02:42] <Lichnet> No one ever answers me. Why Cant i record a cd-rw ?
[02:43] <SlimeyPete> Maybe no-one knows the answer.
[02:43] <sudo_rm_-rf_> Lichnet: what's the prob?
[02:43] <serenityUK> Jones well one person says it was the latest HAL updates and downgrading to previous fixed it... so it might happen again if you reinstall >_<

[03:23] <slingintacos> does anyone know how to use fdisk to write zero out a drive?
[03:23] <Pici> electronick: openoffice.org-l10n-pt  is the portuguese language pack for OOo

[03:34] <aantoon> thinking.....is there a way to use the hardware mouse in gaming instead of the cursor that comes with the game?
[03:34] <Pici> unics: Something like: eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:D0:B7:CB:94:FB
[03:34] <unics> there's only 'lo       Link encap:Local Loopback'

[03:38] <Mclovin_School> good morning everyone
[03:38] <serenityUK> welcome
[03:38] <unics> then: 3C900B-TP0
[03:39] <unics> and then: REV A
[03:39] <Mclovin_School> I am at school and all i have to say is ssh and irssi is a wonderfull thing
[03:39] <faileas> ;)
[03:39] <faileas> assuming they don't block port 20
[03:39] <faileas> 22
[03:39] <Mclovin_School> faileas: there are remote ssh clients online java based that you can use
[03:40] <Mclovin_School> and i also have on server running 22 and another on port 115
[03:40] <Mclovin_School> just for backup
[03:40] <unics> Pici, i'm pretty sure it's this one: http://www.shopping.com/xPO-Generic-Memory-MODEM-LINUX-PCI-ETHERLINK-SKU-3C900B-TP0
[03:40] <mattycoze>  hey ppl - i'm having trouble trying to get my Sony Erickson phone to USB file transfer with ubuntu, tried following these instructions but got lost at udevinfo; http://www.olivierberger.com/weblog/index.php/2006/11/12/66-transfering-files-to-the-sony-ericsson-k610i-from-gnu-linux-through-usb-obex
[03:40] <workstohard> can anyone tell me the best way to check if a remote system is listing on a port besides using telent port%x
[03:40] <Pici> unics: okay. looking.
[03:40] <Pici> workstohard: nmap
[03:40] <faileas> Mclovin_School: java based ones can't handle a blocked port.tried it ;p
[03:40] <unics> ok, thank you :)
[03:41] <SlimeyPete> big_bang14: I doubt it. If it happens in both OSes then it's probably a hardware issue.
[03:41] <Mclovin_School> faileas: thats how im using it right now
[03:41] <Pici> unics: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[03:41] <faileas> Mclovin_School: not a good firewall then ;p
[03:42] <workstohard> nmap didnt work
[03:42] <Ghismo> hey  guys what is the name of the chanel of ubuntu about desktop look?
[03:42] <serenityUK> workstohard, look into nmap... it has various port scanners both stealth and legit
[03:42] <faileas> !effects
[03:42] <ubotu> For help or discussion on Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[03:42] <Mclovin_School> does anyone have good tips on getting a static ip from comcast?
[03:42] <unics> Pici: 7.04 server
[03:42] <serenityUK> sorry to slow
[03:42] <Mclovin_School> or getting a reverse dns
[03:42] <Mclovin_School> that would be nice too
[03:43] <workstohard> well im looking for just a default tool :))
[03:43] <faileas> Mclovin_School: how about dynamic dns?
[03:43] <workstohard> nothing extra
[03:43] <Mclovin_School> faileas: thats what im doing right now but i would love to have a static ip and a reverse dns
[03:43] <ostannard> Mclovin_School: dyndns.com will give you a domain name that is automatically updated to your IP address by software
[03:44] <Mclovin_School> ostannard: i know lol but i want a reverse dns
[03:44] <hp> who's there
[03:44] <isidoro> hi guys
[03:44] <serenityUK> workstohard, have you tried System->Prefs->Network Tools  it has a port scan
[03:44] <Masticore> Anyone know why I get black screen in VLC 50% of the movie? I have installed Codecs.
[03:44] <isidoro> any of you has experience with hal?
[03:44] <sacredheart> Is it possible to make cron run like every 30 seconds without coding some sort of daemon-wrapper to the script in perl or python?
[03:45] <workstohard> this is for my server all cli
[03:45] <isidoro> I ma getting crazy
[03:45] <ostannard> Mclovin_School: what do you need rdns for?
[03:46] <isidoro> where can i discuss about hal for ubuntu?
[03:46] <Mclovin_School> mainly so that i can be mclovin@roflsox.net
[03:46] <Pici> unics: try doing this: `sudo modprobe 3c59x`
[03:46] <hp> who knows why i can't receive the last word in this chatting room
[03:46] <unics> ok, and after that ?
[03:46] <mattycoze> hey anyone know how to fix CD drive problems with ubuntu, i can't get it to read the CD"s i put in there, when i try accessing the CD drive on my laptop it comes up with; mount: special device /dev/hdb does not exist
[03:47] <mattycoze> wtf does that mean?
[03:47] <serenityUK> workstohard, try knocker it claims to be simpler scanner than nmap
[03:47] <ostannard> Mclovin_School: you need normal dns for that, and dynamic dns if the IP of your server will change
[03:47] <Pici> unics: ifconfig
[03:47] <scratchme> fyrestrtr, I grabbed KompoZer, it is based on nvu, and seems to work.  Thanks for the lead.
[03:47] <isidoro> stupid but annoing problem... an usb pen stick has ipod icon instead of normal gellow external usb disk
[03:47] <unics> Pici: still no eth :/
[03:48] <dropety> hi. I have a linux box with a video output which keeps dimming (screensaver?) after not touching the keyboard for a while. Any hints on how to prevent this?
[03:48] <aantoon> mattycoze: hdb is not your cddrive it is /media/cdrom
[03:48] <Mclovin_School> ostannard: no, i need a reverse dns set up on my isp side in order to make my ip provided by my isp to also point to roflsox.net
[03:48] <yeniklasorr> Do you know a app for to be a dj on a shoutcast server (with playback support) ?
[03:49] <ostannard> dns turns roflsox.net into the IP address of your server so that an email can be sent
[03:49] <Mclovin_School> !google shoutcast linux
[03:49] <Mclovin_School> right but for ident it reaches for ip not roflsox
[03:49] <isidoro> hal says block.is_volume = true  (bool) but is wrong that's not volume but a storage
[03:49] <mattycoze> aantoon well i dunno why that would come up
[03:50] <aantoon> mattycoze: how many partitions do you have and how many disks?
[03:50] <ostannard> rdns turns an ip address into a domain name, computers can only contact each other with ip addresses
[03:51] <bensode> good mornig!  Looking for an app to duplicate a CD, something like Roxio in the Windows world under Ubuntu
[03:51] <workstohard> anyother tools just to check if a service is listing and not scanning?
[03:51] <Pici> unics: I'm not really sure.. sorry.  Maybe someone else in the channel can assist you.
[03:51] <aantoon> bensode: k3b
[03:51] <bensode> workstohard, have you tried "netstat -an | grep LISTEN"
[03:51] <ostannard> Mclovin_School: you need to buy the domain roflsox.com and set it to point to your IP address
[03:51] <mattycoze> have only one hard drive, and a CD drive, on the HD i dunno how many partitions it's got
[03:51] <unics> ok, thank you Pici :)
[03:51] <bensode> aantoon, anything that doesn't require the KDE base?
[03:51] <Haza1> Hello folks, Newby here. How might i go about setting the JAVA_HOME enviroment variable in Ubuntu?
[03:51] <aantoon> bensode: ok JuK
[03:51] <isidoro> !hal
[03:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about hal - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:52] <mattycoze> when i installed Hoary Hedghog way back it did a clean install
[03:52] <unics> so can anyone help me configure my ethernet card please ? it's this model: http://www.shopping.com/xPO-Generic-Memory-MODEM-LINUX-PCI-ETHERLINK-SKU-3C900B-TP0
[03:52] <praet> bensode: in command lines: sudo umount /dev/cdrom   then  readcd dev=/dev/cdrom f=file.iso
[03:52] <serenityUK> unics try lspci is is listed at the bottom
[03:52] <bensode> aantoon, requires kde lol
[03:53] <unics> serenityUK, umm, please explain that in bash commands, as i'm pretty new to linux :)
[03:53] <unics> just 'lspci' in bash ?
[03:53] <bensode> Does the ISO process work with bootable CDs?  I'm looking to duplicate a bootable CD
[03:53] <aantoon> mattycoze: use synaptic and install a partition program
[03:53] <praet> Haza1: echo $JAVA_HOME will tell you what is already set
[03:53] <serenityUK> unics sorry i meant open a terminal and type   lspci    it will list the pci devices detected on startup... it should say Ethernet controller near end of the list..if not it is a driver problem
[03:53] <Mclovin_School> unics: sudo lspci
[03:53] <mattycoze> kk anythign you had in mind aantoon
[03:54] <genii> bensode: If you make an iso image of a bootable cd and burn one from that image the result will be a bootable cd again
[03:54] <bensode> Gener1c, Cool thanks my Windows experiences have been the opposite of that ;)
[03:54] <unics> ohh, i see, it says: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c900B-TP0 Etherlink XL [Cyclone]  (rev 04)
[03:54] <praveen__> hi
[03:55] <Haza1> praet: when i run the echo command i get a blank line :/
[03:55] <Haza1> echo $JAVA_HOME that is
[03:55] <_imran_> how do you remove programs in ubuntu?
[03:56] <SlimeyPete> _imran_: the same way you install them: using add/remove programs or synaptic.
[03:56] <praveen__> hi pple
[03:56] <praet> Haza1: you can set the var in your .bashrc file like this: JAVA_HOME="PATH_TO _YOUR_JAVA_INSTALLATION"  then next line:  export JAVA_HOME
[03:56] <unics> serenityUK, what to do next ?
[03:56] <serenityUK> unics, try tryping      dmesg  |  grep eth0    to read any messages from the boot text
[03:56] <genii> _imran_: If you compiled it from a tarball/source then go into the home dir of that untarred source and do: make dist-clean
 Cheers mate i will give it a try
[03:57] <_imran_> SlimeyPete, but the program i installed is not in the synaptic list
[03:57] <_imran_> genii, i didnt compile it
[03:57] <SlimeyPete> _imran_: ah. How did you install it?
[03:57] <unics> 'dmesg | grep0' doesn't return anything
[03:57] <mattycoze> aantoon should i use swapd
[03:57] <wolferine> is there something comparable to Microsoft's Project in linux?
[03:57] <unics> grep eth0*
[03:58] <genii> _imran_: Then use the method SlimeyPete suggested
[03:58] <aantoon> mattycoze: hold on
[03:58] <praveen__> is it possible to use tomcat and apache at the same time
[03:58] <mattycoze> kk
[03:58] <_imran_> SlimeyPete, i downloaded a script, and copied some commands into terminal (took instructions from a site)
[03:58] <Masticore> Anyone know why I get black screen in VLC 50% of the movie? I have installed Codecs.
[03:58] <serenityUK> unics, maybe wireless try    dmesg  |  grep wlan0
[03:58] <unics> it's not wireless, i'm connected through a ethernet cable
[03:58] <wolferine> Masticore, is it just that movie, or did you try others
[03:58] <KlrSpz> is there a doc on how to install .deb files?
[03:58] <SlimeyPete> _imran_: ah. Then you will have to read the README or INSTALL file which came with it. There is no standard method for uninstalling software under Linux.
[03:59] <KlrSpz> actually le tme ask, where's the doc on how to install .deb files
[03:59] <Masticore> wolferine: I did try many movies.
[03:59] <SlimeyPete> _imran_: also, check the website for the software
[03:59] <wolferine> KlrSpz, use synaptic
[03:59] <Pici> KlrSpz: sudo dpkg -i file.deb   Or just double click in gnome.
[03:59] <wolferine> Masticore, half of the movie meaning what?
[03:59] <serenityUK> unics,  try    dmesg  |  grep Ethernet
[03:59] <KlrSpz> wolferine: well i am, but i'd actually like to get more familiar with aptitude
[03:59] <wolferine> KlrSpz, ask google :)
[03:59] <genii> _imran_: It would help if you posted the link for the instructions you follwed
[03:59] <genii> *followed
[03:59] <Masticore> wolferine: its switching to black every 5 sec or so.
[03:59] <unics> serenityUK, nothing, also treid lowercase
[04:00] <unics> tried*
[04:00] <wolferine> Masticore, for how long?
[04:00] <aantoon> mattycoze: i would go go for "parted" or gparted
[04:00] <_imran_> genii, here is the link http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/songbird
[04:00] <Masticore> wolferine: maby 5 sec movie and 5 secs black.
[04:00] <wolferine> Masticore, and in other media players?
[04:00] <Masticore> wolferine: the same
[04:01] <Pici> unics: do dmegs | grep eth -i
[04:01] <genii> _imran_: OK, reading
[04:01] <Pici> unics: dmesg rather
[04:01] <wolferine> Masticore, its your codecs
[04:01] <Masticore> wolferine: Mplayer, Totem etc
[04:01] <wolferine> Masticore, google 'ubuntu guide'
[04:01] <mattycoze> aantoon yeah i'll get gparted cause i'm no good with a command line
[04:01] <Masticore> wolferine: I followed ubuntuguide.org
[04:01] <wolferine> Masticore, it will explain what codecs are needed
[04:01] <unics> dmegs | grep eth -i doesn't reply anything either
[04:01] <aantoon> mattycoze: exelent
[04:02] <wolferine> Masticore, maybe your videocard, is the correct driver being used, have you had any other 'graphical' issues with other applications?
[04:02] <wolferine> is there something comparable to Microsoft's Project in linux?
[04:03] <mattycoze> okay i've got ext 3 /dev/sda1, extended /dev/sda2, and linux-swap /dev/sda5
[04:03] <Masticore> wolferine: Nope, everything else works fine. Beryl running fine too.
[04:03] <wolferine> Masticore, is beryl running while your watching movies?
[04:03] <_imran_> genii, there is a command to remove songbird but it doesnt work
[04:03] <genii> _imran_: It has on the very first page there the command to uninstall that. eg: put the script for it on your dekstop, then run: cd ~/Desktop ;chmod +x ; removesongbird.sh;./removesongbird.sh
[04:04] <Masticore> wolferine: Yes, also tried to disable beryl
[04:04] <genii> _imran_: Yes, you need the sript from the link, then also to make it executable with the chmod  command as they show. You may need to execute the chmod with sudo
[04:04] <boha> how can i get to this screen : http://www.michaellarabel.com/external/restricted-1.jpg ?
[04:04] <_imran_> genii, forgot to dwnld the script
[04:05] <mattycoze> @ aantoon; okay i've got ext 3 /dev/sda1, extended /dev/sda2, and linux-swap /dev/sda5
[04:05] <moo2> Where can I find out what all these vim packages are for ?
[04:05] <Masticore> wolferine: Its not returning black without beryl, but the movie is laggin.
[04:05] <jrib> moo2: apt-cache show PACKAGE  should give you a description
[04:06] <aantoon> mattycoze: that means you have two partitions and a swap
[04:07] <mattycoze> aantoon okay, that's kewl - does that affect the CD device function tho lol?
[04:07] <aantoon> mattycoze: no, you have to mount it
[04:08] <serenityUK> unics, the driver for your card is called 3c95x.... can you try    lsmod | grep 3c   to see if it is loaded ?
[04:08] <anomaly> if I want to share a dir with samba to a remote computer, do I have to also install vnc or could the remote computer just map the network drive through windows using 0.0.0.0/share instead of //name/share ?
[04:08] <aantoon> mattycoze: hold on i am looking for a howto
[04:08] <Haza1> praet: so i went to open in vi /home/myuser/.bashrc and added the lines: JAVA_HOME="/usr/bin/java" and on the next line export JAVA_HOME
[04:09] <Haza1> if i was to echo $JAVA_HOME should i see the result now? because i dont
[04:09] <faileas> anomaly: VNC is merely a remote control software. you don't need vnc to share files over samba
[04:09] <Pici> anomaly: windows can map to an ip address just like it can map drives to a name: //10.200.120.1/share for example.
[04:09] <unics> serenityUK, 1 minute please, i just loaded another LiveCD to see if this recognizez the board, as i'm suspecting it's broken (the LAN2 LED on the router is not lit)
[04:09] <anomaly> Pici does the remote computer have to share the same workgroup?
[04:10] <unics> root
[04:10] <unics> oops :/
[04:10] <Pici> anomaly: not to my knowledge.
[04:10] <wolferine> Masticore, sounds like beryl is playing with you
[04:10] <serenityUK> unics, ok i get that sometimes.. try a differnt pci slot aswell or upluging power cable for 30secs
[04:10] <genii> anomaly: If they are not in the same workgroup you may need to use the IP address initially to find it
[04:10] <anomaly> Pici I had though I had set up samba right on the server to use /foo as the share. and from windos shouldn't it be 0.0.0.0/foo ?
[04:11] <unics> serenityUK, power cable from PC or router ?
[04:11] <Pici> anomaly: Yes.
[04:11] <serenityUK> pc
[04:11] <serenityUK> mind you that is for my onboard ethernet not pci
[04:11] <genii> anomaly: //x.x.x.x/foo
[04:12] <anomaly> I had thought so.. hrmm.. will just have to tinker with it some more. sshd is working so I know its not a connectivity issue in general then.
[04:12] <serenityUK> my other pci ethernet only works in certain pci slots.. i hate hardware
[04:12] <serenityUK> im a software guy
[04:13] <unics> heh
[04:13] <Pici> ivan_: ?
[04:13] <anomaly> thanks for the help, Pici and genii.
[04:13] <unics> but the guy i got the PC from said internet worked for him
 sorry,test
[04:13] <genii> anomaly: Good luck with it
[04:14] <usuario__> hello
[04:14] <serenityUK> ivan_, any sentence with name in will highlight, you don't need brackets
[04:15] <unics> serenityUK, unplugged the cable for 30 seconds, and then booted, still the LED won't lit
[04:15] <aantoon> mattycoze: do you have a cdrom icon on your desktop?
[04:15] <mattycoze> aantoon no, sometimes it comes up tho
[04:16] <mattycoze> have a disk in the drive with somethign i wanted to install but mmm
[04:16] <unics> serenityUK, and when executing 'lsmod | grep 3c' i get: 3c59x      46760   0
[04:16] <aantoon> mattycoze: if you put a cd in it, it comes up?
[04:16] <unics> and then: mii            6656   1  3c59x
[04:16] <Haza1> Hmm what is the default JAVA_HOME directory in Ubuntu? =/
[04:16] <mattycoze> it reads it and comes up with an "unable to mount volume" error message, so no it's not on the desktop
[04:16] <jamesdell> !rmvb
[04:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rmvb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:17] <jamesdell> hello, anyone had successful try to play the *.rmvb format movie?
[04:17] <mattycoze> aantoon; details; mount_point cannot contain the following characters: newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /)
[04:17] <aantoon> mattycoze: dos it do that with ALL cd's you put in there?
[04:17] <mattycoze> aantoon i'll try a music CD
[04:17] <diskin> Hi all, in the output of sar -b i see bread/s and bwrtn/s columns, is there a way to see which processes contribute to that load? Thanks.
[04:18] <unics> serenityUK, should i try another PCI slot for the ethernet card ?
[04:18] <serenityUK> unics, ok so the driver is loaded hmmm..  and you say ifconfig is just loopback?
[04:18] <ivan_> serenityUK:thanks
[04:18] <unics> serenityUK, yes
[04:19] <serenityUK> ivan_, you can also use TAB to autocomplete.. you don't have to type the full names
[04:19] <mattycoze> aantoon; hmm, yeah it displays on the destop but this error message is; Couldn't display cdda:///dev/scd0, there was an error launching the application
[04:19] <KlrSpz> ok gotta logout/in for a group change, bbiaf i guess
[04:20] <A3> (sorry to interrupt, but here goes my first irc session! whoehoe)
[04:20] <unics> serenityUK, i also have to say the other LiveCD usually recognized all types of internet connection and set them up properly, but it didn't work for this one either
[04:20] <frindou> hello
[04:20] <serenityUK> unics, yes try another slot.. the thing is it should light up before linux or windows even boots.. hardware thing not software
[04:20] <unics> serenityUK, ok, 1 minute
[04:20] <aantoon> mattycoze: try some other cd's like the install ubuntu install cd, if it starts up, remove it again
[04:20] <serenityUK> unics, can you try the card in another pc?
[04:21] <unics> well, that would be this PC, and i'm not confortable rebooting this one :/
[04:21] <mattycoze> hmmm
[04:22] <aantoon> mattycoze: if it reads ANY other cd then it is not your cd player but something elsw
[04:22] <aantoon> mattycoze: else
[04:22] <serenityUK> unics, you can have to network cards in one pc.. you should be able to add it and see if it lights up without breakin gthe other one
[04:22] <serenityUK> two*
[04:22] <mattycoze> aantoon it works perfectly with the OpenOffice suite cd lol
[04:22] <mattycoze> strange...
[04:23] <aantoon> mattycoze: that was what i thought :)
[04:23] <mattycoze> lol now what can i do? the disk i was trying to install was for windows Pc's but i never thought that would matter
[04:23] <mattycoze> cd's a cd' and it's just got files on it
[04:24] <aantoon> mattycoze: do you have a mp3 on your disk? play it, just double click on it
[04:25] <mattycoze> i have tons and they all work through Xine, i accidentally removed all the original ubuntu media stuff
[04:25] <kazim59> wow... I wonder why was I using GNOME... Xfce is so great!!
[04:25] <mattycoze> aantoon, the ones that come preinstalled
[04:25] <aantoon> mattycoze: well it should not matter, you should be able to browse it :-/
[04:25] <dandanilaprepele> guys i wanna ask u something

[04:25] <ubotu> Dougie: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[04:26] <fqh> ?
[04:26] <kazim59> serenityUK: why would anyone prefer gnome then? if they need lots of GUI things, use KDE... otherwise use xfce etc..

[04:27] <dandanilaprepele> if i make a bootable mp3 usb player with some linux like dsl or anything else ... then can i use the mp3 player for playing music ?  ?

[04:29] <dandanilaprepele> faileas: so it wont affect the mp3 player ?
[04:29] <faileas> why should it?
[04:29] <aantoon> mattycoze: if you click on a mp3 dos totem movie player start?
[04:29] <serenityUK> unics, ahhh!! hardware eh?  grrrr

[04:31] <mattycoze> lol i accidentally uninstalled it aantoon when i was having an attempt at trying to get rid of that annoying keyring manager
[04:31] <mattycoze> bah still can't get rid of it
[04:31] <mattycoze> oh well
[04:32] <unics> serenityUK, do you have any idea on what could be wrong ?
[04:33] <aantoon> mattycoze: oh boy i think you have to resetup ubuntu again :( is the cd problem the only problem you have, think not he
[04:33] <mattycoze> aantoon kk installing now,
[04:33] <mattycoze> aantoon mmm that kinda sucks
[04:34] <mattycoze> aantoon how long till the next release of ubuntu?
[04:34] <serenityUK> unics, when you click on network icon and choose manual config does it mention wired connection?
[04:35] <unics> serenityUK, i'm running the 7.04 server version, i don't have a GUI
[04:35] <SlimeyPete> next release is in October, hopefully
[04:35] <mattycoze> when's the next release of ubuntu guys? Gutsy?
[04:35] <aantoon> mattycoze: there already is a next but, i would not recoment it, btw it was not feisty that gave you this problem, you just don't have the codecs installed
[04:36] <SlimeyPete> mattycoze: october. Yes, gutsy.
[04:36] <dxdt> mattycoze: unless there are unforseen problems, the release is on a 6 month cycle so just add 6 to the decimal of teh current version 7.04, and you get 7.10 so October of 2007
[04:36] <serenityUK> unics, try pasting this in terminal:   sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
[04:36] <mattycoze> aantoon yeah i know, but i was thinking the update would fill in the gaps
[04:36] <aantoon> mattycoze: :)
[04:36] <unics> i'm beeing asked for the assword
[04:36] <unics> do i type it in serenityUK ?
[04:37] <serenityUK> unics yes you can copy and paste
[04:37] <unics> ifdown: interface eth0 not configured
[04:37] <praet> Haza1: you have to logout and log back in for that script to run
[04:37] <tck> anyone set up a preseed file before ?
[04:37] <unics> Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0
[04:37] <aantoon> mattycoze: best to not update but do a fresh install
[04:37] <dai> trying to learn bash ls gives files and directoties but what if I only want to return directories
[04:37] <unics> serenityUK, it's another computer, i cannot copy/paste :/
[04:37] <aantoon> mattycoze: feisty that is
[04:37] <serenityUK> doh
[04:38] <unics> anyway, what does that mean ?
[04:38] <mattycoze> true
[04:39] <mattycoze> aantoon well thanks anyways
[04:39] <aantoon> mattycoze:np
[04:39] <mattycoze> gtg man
[04:39] <anomaly> testparm comes out ok, I am ssh'd in obviously as well to edit smb.conf, yet from the windows remote computer.. still failing to connect. anyone fairly familiar with samba? :)
[04:40] <bulmer> dai you pipe it to grep like so  ls -la|grep ^d
[04:40] <dai> ok will try that
[04:40] <bulmer> dai no single command can do everything so you make use of the other commands..by piping or redirecting..
[04:40] <unics> serenityUK, any idea what that output means ?
[04:41] <dai> tidy but what about say just returning directories in the home folder
[04:41] <bulmer> unics do you have an eth0 ?
[04:41] <kenji> how can I purge or uninstall not used packages?
[04:41] <serenityUK> unics, i expected that from down but was there nothing from ifup?
[04:41] <ward_> how can i manually set my IP adress in ubuntu?
[04:41] <unics> bulmer, i have an ethernat card, yes
[04:42] <kenji> how can I purge or uninstall not used packages?
[04:42] <serenityUK> bulmer, no his card is detected and module loaded but no eth0 in ifconfig or dmesg
[04:42] <sparrw> how can i specify a parameter for a module that is loaded at boot time (automagically, discover?)
[04:43] <unics> serenityUK, no, no reply from ifup
[04:43] <serenityUK> kenji, try sudo apt-get autoremove
[04:43] <jerbear> i've installed a few programs from source... what's the best way to get rid of them? the prefix is /usr/local
[04:43] <anomaly> basically, one machine a couple miles away needs access to the other machine so it can run a dos program for whatever reasoning. is samba the right path? vnc seems too much for this seemingly simple task.
[04:43] <ward_> how can i manually set my IP adress in ubuntu?
[04:44] <kenji> serenityUK root@duritz:~# apt-get autoremove
[04:44] <kenji> E: Operacin invlida: autoremove
[04:44] <bulmer> ward_  use ifconfig or edit the /etc/network/interface  file
[04:44] <scowby> does anyone here know about getting sound working in VMWare?
[04:45] <dxdt> jerbear: make uninstall in the same source that you did make install in.  In the future, you should use a progame called checkinstall.  Use this instead of make install and a nice package will be made such that you can remove the programs much faster and better in the future.
[04:45] <scowby> i've been working on this for over a week now.
[04:45] <scowby> no understanding of /dev/dsp - why it wouldn't be accessible.
[04:45] <ward_> bulmer, ifconfig myip ?
[04:46] <bulmer> ward_ i dont know the exact syntax at the moment, can you man ifconfig
[04:46] <serenityUK> ward_, click on the network icon an choose manual.. then on wired choose properties and untick roaming
[04:46] <serenityUK> ward_, then you can choose static ip from the drop down menu
[04:47] <aantoon> still can use some help in mouse lag problems
[04:47] <serenityUK> unics, try dhclient eth0
[04:48] <jerbear> dxdt: i tried checkinstall, but when i tried to install the package it looked like it was trying to install it to /usr instead of /usr/local and it failed
[04:48] <jerbear> dxdt: if it helps, the program i'm trying to install is pidgin
[04:49] <unics> serenityUK, with sudo ?
[04:49] <serenityUK> sorry yes
[04:49] <KlrSpz> hmm... this aptitude isn't half bad
[04:49] <unics> hmm
[04:49] <KlrSpz> not quite portage, but not bad
[04:49] <unics> i get some errors
[04:50] <Haza1> Im trying to get tomcat working and i have followed this tutorial step by step yet no luck
[04:50] <Haza1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheTomcat5#head-e53e7875cbebd738a78ff2755b400c5a7d6974d1
[04:50] <unics> wait' i'll write the whole message down on pastebin serenityUK
[04:50] <ward_> serenityUK, there's no manual there
[04:50] <ward_> bulmer, no problem i'm looking in the manual now (but i'm kindof bad with manuals thats why i asked the syntax)
[04:50] <unics> !paste
[04:50] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[04:50] <Haza1> anyone point me in the right direction to figure out why this might not be working? :)
[04:50] <ward_> serenityUK, no i can't
[04:50] <serenityUK> ward_, left click not right click... you could also goto System ->admin->Network
[04:51] <ward_> serenityUK, in system -> admin -> network thats possible
[04:51] <ward_> not with the icn
[04:51] <Pragma__> Hi! Ware i can find deb packet of iscan driver!? Please? give me link!? =)
[04:52] <serenityUK> ward_, ok click on properties button for wired.. then untick roaming and choose static ip from the menu
[04:52] <BlackAlex> how do i set these variables in ubuntu (www.psp-programming.com) in ubuntu?  it says to modify the "login script" and add those statements but I cant find it.
[04:53] <Pragma__> Hi! Ware i can find deb packet of iscan driver!? Please? give me link!? =)
[04:53] <marti149> hi guys, how do you fsck  fat or /quit on ubuntu?
[04:54] <BlackAlex> Where can I find the login script for ubuntu so i can modify it?
[04:54] <giany911> BlackAlex modify what?

[04:55] <Jowi> BlackAlex, depends on what you are after to modify. /usr/share/xsessions is one way of doing it.
[04:55] <BlackAlex> giany911, on psp-programming.com i am supposed to set two system variables PSPDEV and modify the PATH.  It says I should add statements to a "login scripts'.  I knew how to do this in cygwin on windows but i cant find it.
[04:55] <serenityUK> unics, now try ifconfig
[04:55] <giany911> BlackAlex ..sorry thats way above my paycheck :)
[04:55] <erUSUL> BlackAlex: in your home .bashrc or .bash_profile
[04:56] <unics> ohh, there is eth0 :)
[04:56] <serenityUK> unics, now try ping www.google.com
[04:56] <Pragma__>  Ware i can find deb packet of iscan driver!? Please? give me link!? =)
[04:56] <unics> statistics 6 packets transmitted, 6 received, it seems to work ...
[04:56] <serenityUK> OMFG
[04:56] <serenityUK> woooot
[04:56] <unics> :)
[04:57] <unics> nice
[04:57] <serenityUK> i think we need to do more to get it to work on reboot?
[04:57] <unics> umm, like what ?
[04:57] <serenityUK> atleast it works.. i think the cable was half the problem
[04:57] <unics> yeah
[04:58] <bulmer> BlackAlex: there are some login settings set at  /etc/login.defs too
[04:58] <unics> anyway, back to the INITIAL problem, i still get 'E: Couldn't find package ubuntu desktop' when doing: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'
[04:58] <unics> :)
[04:59] <Jack_Sparrow> nnunics  did you apt-get update         first
[04:59] <Pici> unics: sudo apt-get update now :)
[04:59] <arman> i have a core 2 duo cpu, i want to install ubuntu 64bit, i wonder if i will have any trouble about softwares or drivers?
[04:59] <Pici> unics: Glad you got it working too :)
[04:59] <Pici> arman: You may have difficulty with proprietary software like flash.
[04:59] <Jowi> arman, flash support
[04:59] <unics> ohh, yeah, forgot about update :)
[05:00] <serenityUK> arman, the trouble with 64bit is java and flash... flash is easy to fix i haven't fixed java yet.. it can be done im told
[05:00] <serenityUK> oh and quake 4 doesn't work in 64bit.. but all drivers are ok
[05:01] <TheMafia> how can I specify what version of java a program should use?
[05:01] <TheMafia> I have both 1.5 and 1.6 installed and 1.6 has a printing bug that 1.5 does not
[05:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Synaptic installed Soom and quake but they do not show up in the list of games.  How do you run them?
[05:02] <Jowi> TheMafia, "sudo update-alternatives --config java" should let you chose
[05:02] <Jack_Sparrow> Make that Doom was installed...
[05:02] <unics> wow, damn, it really works, this is so cool =)
[05:03] <Jowi> Jack_Sparrow, "dpkg -L packagename" will list the installed files
[05:03] <serenityUK> Jack_Sparrow, try opening a Terminal and typing the name... if it works we can set up a shortcut
[05:03] <SuperLag> which iw* command is it that will tell you which APs are in range?
[05:03] <fqh> Is there a leader or manager in here?
[05:03] <staar2_> hello i got problems with cd burning
[05:03] <unics> so, will the internet auto-start on ubuntu startup or will i have to start it every time, and if yes, how can i configure it to auto-start ?
[05:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Will give it a try.. thanks
[05:03] <fqh> seveas and elkbuntu ?
[05:03] <neverblue> fqh?
[05:04] <serenityUK> unics, try reboot... if not we can set up a manual ip
[05:04] <staar2_> Which cd burning program should i use i need write a avi to cd
[05:04] <SuperLag> fqh: does it matter?
[05:04] <unics> serenityUK, wait, i'm just installing kubuntu-desktop, this may take a while =)
[05:04] <fqh> no matter. But I don't know
[05:04] <Jowi> !burn | staar2_
[05:04] <ubotu> staar2_: CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus cd burner (Gnome), gtoaster, xcdroast, cdrecord (terminal-based). Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[05:04] <neverblue> fqh, did you need help with something?
[05:05] <staar2_> huhu i use gnome and i need some simple burner
[05:05] <elkbuntu> fqh, what is your problem?
[05:05] <TheMafia> Jowi, but I only want to use 1.5 for this specific program, not all of them?
[05:05] <BlackAlex> hmm that set the PSPDEV variable but it doesn't think the PATH variable is set.  How do you view variables contents in the terminal?
[05:05] <staar2_> could someone anserw ?
[05:05] <Jowi> staar2_, go to Places -> cd/dvd writer (i think it's called since i don't use gnome) then drag'n'drop the file and click on "write"
[05:05] <aantoon> are there no game-ers in the channel?
[05:05] <fqh> sure. in future. thanks
[05:06] <DFM> I need help installing Adept so that I can actually run it in Ubuntu. I don't want Kubuntu but I do want to use Adept. I can install it using Synaptic however when I run it I cannot use it to install software, only look at it.
[05:06] <serenityUK> lol ok unics np
[05:06] <Jowi> TheMafia, don't know
[05:06] <neverblue> DFM, error when attempting to install software ? (not sure why you have to have Synaptic and Adept :)
[05:06] <xc_legend> i  game
[05:07] <NovemberSky> I'm Waitting for CDs, :(
[05:07] <BlackAlex> hey i edited the .bashrc file and logged out and logged back in but the toolchain says that it doesnt exist in my PATH yet
[05:07] <serenityUK> staar2_, my favourite is k3b but i heara gnomebaker is a simpler one
[05:08] <DFM> No error during install, I just prefer Adept to Synaptic. Problem is when I run adept it tells me that I do not have permission to use it to install anything. I have to enter password to install it but then I can't use it.
[05:08] <staar2_> i used that which come by default in ubuntu
[05:08] <staar2_> and atm it works
[05:08] <Jowi> DFM, perhaps you already have synaptic open? you can not use two package managers at the same time.
[05:08] <DFM> Password in Synaptic that is.
[05:08] <neverblue> BlackAlex, maybe as in #linux?
[05:09] <praet> DFM: sudo ?
[05:09] <ddonky> is there a guide to dual boot win2k?
[05:09] <administrator_> is there a german channel?
[05:09] <staar2_> hm which should be faster gnome or KDE ?
[05:09] <Pici> !dualboot | ddonky

[05:09] <DFM> Jowi: I made sure not to have synaptic running and even rebooted to make sure.
[05:09] <SlimeyPete> staar2_: both about the same. Gnome may be a bit quicker.

[05:09] <administrator_> thx
[05:09] <perka> Is it possible to run ubuntu from a USB drive? I have a fully working installation on a HDD that I have put in a USB-box.
[05:10] <neverblue> de is german?
[05:10] <ddonky> rooooooot
[05:10] <Pici> neverblue: yes.
[05:10] <neverblue> ok, look an ass :)
[05:10] <DFM> praet: When I run it from terminal with sudo I get the same thing.
[05:10] <neverblue> then whats gr I wonder?
[05:10] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: yes
[05:10] <b0n3> duh
[05:10] <ddonky> gnome_  - youshouldn't run as root
[05:11] <perka> Jack_Sparrow, anything in particular I need to consider?
[05:11] <DFM> If I install Kubuntu it works just fine under either desktop. I just don't want to install K when I am trying to get used to the simplicity of Gnome.
[05:11] <praet> DFM: try this: sudo killall kio_file    and  sudo killall adept    and try again
[05:11] <Bartman_> how can you do a ubuntu server install off the normal desktop cd?
[05:11] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: Not really, other than having it use vesa driver for use on different systems
[05:11] <serenityUK> Bartman_, there is a special server cd
[05:12] <Bartman_> I know.. but I don't have it right now.. and was wondering if you could do it off the regular cd
[05:12] <Bartman_> I believe I've done it with past versions 6.x..
[05:12] <praet> Bartman_: you could use the desktop edition and install server applications?
[05:12] <perka> Jack_Sparrow: So how do I start it, do i need to install grub on the computer I am running it from?
[05:12] <Bartman_> never mind.. I'll just get the cd
[05:13] <administrator_> wrde des nicht gehen wenn ich Truecrypt ber wine laufen lasse?
[05:13] <aantoon> any one here that installed neverwinter nights and had mouse lag?
[05:13] <neverblue> aantoon, using wine?
[05:14] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: google linux on usb and you should find a good tutorial... sorry I dont have access to the link atm... I hate to tell people go google this or that.
[05:14] <aantoon> neverblue: no
[05:14] <Jowi> administrator_, try in #ubuntu-de :)
[05:14] <DFM> praet: Ok I will try when I get home from work. If I have tried running it after a fresh boot it would seem that nothing would be running like adept to begin with. Further if you have synaptic running and try to run it again or do an update it tells you that you can only have one running.
[05:14] <Dr_willis> neverwinter nights  - has  a native linux client. :) it can be a challange to get going I rember.
[05:14] <perka> Jack_Sparrow: It is the installation from my laptop, I do now wish to reinstall or reformat or anything, it is just temporary until my computer is back from repairs.
[05:14] <xc_legend> aantoon no i used the loki installers and it ran as a native copy
[05:14] <fqh> It seems that the the root's password must not be set to be same with the normal user's. in ubuntu. really ?
[05:15] <serenityUK> fqh, no i have mine the same
[05:15] <St3a1tH> hi guys , how can i change the charset of just one terminal so i can use BitchX in iso-8859-1 and see correct chars in some international channels ?
[05:15] <NovemberSky> how to talk with someone? the backround will be yellow
[05:15] <neverblue> fqh, man sudo
[05:16] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: That site will tell you how to create a ubuntu usb ... and it works... I thought I used the install cd to create it...  HAve you considered running livecd  with a persistent usb.... it is quick to set up.
[05:16] <neverblue> NovemberSky, please rephrase your question, or make note of the language you speak
[05:17] <aantoon> xc_legend: no mouse lag?
[05:17] <perka> Jack_Sparrow: the live cd sounds like a plan. Can I configure the livecd to use the root filsystem (or at least home directory) from my usb drive?
[05:17] <NovemberSky> NovemberSky:test
[05:17] <atxatx> My syslog shows messages from both PHP4 and PHP5, is this normal?
[05:17] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: yes
[05:17] <perka> Jack_Sparrow: cool, thanks!
[05:18] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: The base image for persistent is just over 40 megs
[05:18] <Javid> How do I find out the full path to a program?
[05:18] <serenityUK> Javid which program
[05:18] <Javid> in this case, xmms, but I'll need to do it for others
[05:18] <nathan> how do I make a link where it just runs the program instead of asking me to run or display it?
[05:18] <serenityUK> Javid which xmms
[05:18] <perka> Jack_Sparrow: yeah but I do not want it to use an image I want it to use the already present home directory on the usb drive
[05:19] <Javid> what
[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: If you need help .. just ask...  I made an ISO of basic persistent flash so I can stamp copy on usb for friends
[05:19] <serenityUK> Javid, no which is a command lol... type which xmms
[05:19] <Javid> oh, ok
[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: Create persistent drive... then copy over home to the usb
[05:19] <neverblue> atxatx, did you install both?
[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: Any changes on persistent drive are same as a hd install
[05:20] <serenityUK> Javid, lol i can see how that looked for u
[05:20] <Javid> hehe
[05:20] <Javid> yep. thanks
[05:20] <neverblue> Javid, type 'which xmms' :)
[05:20] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: You will run into a couple issues with permissions... as the default user on persistent is "Ubuntu"
[05:20] <Javid> I got it already
[05:20] <neverblue> i know
[05:20] <nathan> how do I make a link where it just runs the program instead of asking me to run or display it?
[05:20] <underdog5004> genii, are you free?
[05:21] <Javid> I am saving that quote now. that was neat
[05:21] <neverblue> nathan, what program?
[05:21] <nathan> kompozer
[05:21] <neverblue> and its not already doing so?
[05:21] <nathan> me?
[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> perka: Once you create PER. usb then boot to it and create user name from other system
[05:21] <Hatty> Firefox is segfaulting. It was working find up until yesterday  (it would randomly hang and then X would hang) and now it just wont start at all. Any ideas or anyone have same problem?
[05:21] <neverblue> yes, is kopozer not already doing so?
[05:22] <nathan> well what I did is I dragged the program onto the desktop but I presses alt
[05:22] <neverblue> Hatty, as on irc.mozilla.org /j #firefox
[05:22] <atxatx> neverblue: Synaptic only shows php5 installed, and I don't remember installing both, but I do recall installing "php" and "php5" at separate times
[05:22] <Hatty> k
[05:22] <nathan> that popped up a menu and i chose make link here
[05:22] <nathan> and the link asks me to run or display
[05:22] <neverblue> atxatx, possibly you can find answers in #php
[05:22] <atxatx> ok
[05:22] <nathan> it works if I choose run but it's annoying is all
[05:23] <neverblue> nathan, so you want to add it to your menu, or to the desktop?
[05:23] <nathan> desktop
[05:23] <nathan> both actaully
[05:23] <kazim59> I've messed up my fonts directory... I copied windows fonts to some linux fonts directories.. since then a lot of apps have difficulties showing some fonts... how do I fix it??
[05:23] <nathan> but the one I'm talking about is the desktop one right now
[05:23] <neverblue> nathan, rigth click the menu (where no icon is) and you can add a program easily
[05:24] <kazim59> !fonts
[05:24] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[05:24] <over> Is there chinese?
[05:25] <neverblue> as for the desktop, you will probably want to search down the icon for the program, then if you right click the desktop, 'create launcher', add in the program, and the icon, then it should show up on the desktop
[05:25] <nathan> ok but how do I fix the one on my desktop
[05:25] <adnan> Help needed: Hi there dudes, I need help installing my usb wireless adapter, it runs on the atheros 5223 chipset but obviously at the moment madwifi doesn't support usb devices and I've tried using the Windows drivers with ndiswrapper but to no avail. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks
[05:25] <neverblue> nathan, as for how to start the program, you should just type in 'kompozer' or get the results from 'which kompozer'
[05:25] <neverblue> nathan, delete it, if you want

[05:26] <nathan> I want one on my desktop that when I double click it, the program runs without asking me if I want to run it, how do I do that?
[05:26] <serenityUK> over, try #ubuntu-cn
[05:26] <adnan> neverblue, thanks
[05:26] <neverblue> nathan, read above, please
[05:26] <serenityUK> !cn | over
[05:26] <ubotu> over: For Ubuntu help in Chinese  #ubuntu-cn  #ubuntu-tw   #ubuntu-hk
[05:27] <atxatx> another log-related question: my user.log and syslog show gconfd starting/stopping frequently, also seeing "failed to send buffer", is all this normal
[05:27] <nathan> you said to delete it or add to menu bar
[05:27] <neverblue> thanks serenityUK :/
[05:27] <over> thanks
[05:27] <neverblue> nathan, please read what I wrote
[05:27] <nathan> this irssi isn't scrolling up for some reason so plz say again =/
[05:27] <serenityUK> neverblue, i cheated and retrieved a channel list lol
[05:27] <neverblue> hehe
[05:27] <neverblue> nathan, it will be in your logs
[05:27] <nathan> ok how can I check that
[05:28] <Javid> kuake + irssi = huzzah
[05:28] <neverblue> im sure you can figure that out
[05:28] <Jowi> nathan, you should be able to just right click on the desktop and select Create Launcher.
[05:29] <nathan> yeah that works! I wonder why making a shortcut/link doesn't work but that does
[05:29] <frindou> salam
[05:29] <Javid> How do I rig a command, as root, to run as a normal user?
[05:29] <adnan> hmm
[05:30] <adnan> neverblue, that link would be handy only problems is when i do lspci my usb wireless device isn't listed at all
[05:30] <kauer> neverblue: "gr" is Greek. Did you figure out that cron/user prob? As far as I'm concerned it "works for me", so I'd be interested in how you fixed yours...
[05:30] <SlimeyPete> Javid: su -c <command> <user>
[05:30] <SlimeyPete> I think
[05:30] <neverblue> adnan, not good then
[05:30] <Javid> thanks
[05:30] <Dougie> isn't there an app that makes deb or ubuntu packages out of source?
[05:30] <neverblue> kauer, no, I never did, spent too much time on it
[05:31] <adnan> neverblue, but when i go to hardware information it lists the device as AR5523 usb device I think i just need to find a way to wake it up
[05:31] <neverblue> adnan, I cannot be of assistance, the link is all I can supply for you
[05:31] <adnan> neverblue, ok thanks
[05:31] <Jowi> Dougie, checkinstall is one way
[05:31] <Jowi> !checkinstall | Dougie
[05:31] <ubotu> Dougie: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[05:32] <atxatx> neverblue, how do i check my crontab for those entries
[05:32] <matthew_> i am using ubuntu ultimate edition and for some reason a lot of the text in my browser is white on white background, which is hard to see, anyone know how to change that
[05:32] <kauer> That's a worry: "(01:32:20) ubuntu left the room." :-)
[05:32] <neverblue> atxatx, excuse?
[05:33] <kauer> atxatx: Don't talk to neverblue about crontab entries, he may go postal on us! :-)
[05:33] <serenityUK> matthew_, do you mean web pages or the menus?
[05:33] <atxatx> neverblue, sorry i was saying earlier i had entries in my syslog for php4 and php5, both of those are CRON entries
[05:33] <Javid> su -c doesn't do it, it just gives me an error about symlinks
[05:34] <matthew_> web pages in my firefox browser, like gmail
[05:34] <crasher5> matthew Edit - Preferences - Content - Colors - Text
[05:34] <SlimeyPete> Javid: can you not just su <username> and run it manually?
[05:34] <crasher5> is that set to black? :)
[05:35] <serenityUK> matthew_, goto menu edit-->preferences...  then content tab... there is a colors button... untick system colours and pick your own?
[05:35] <Javid> no I can;t
[05:35] <Javid> well.. maybe
[05:35] <Javid> lemme see
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> matthew_: You have options in firefox to fix that
[05:36] <neverblue> atxatx, kauer warned you :)
[05:36] <baastrup> Hi, im trying to setup a mailserver, but should I use amavis-new or amavis-ng?????
[05:36] <matthew_> cool i got it now thanks
[05:36] <jesson> guys what is the command in terminal to install or download wine??
[05:36] <kbrosnan> matthew_: inside the browser window or in the browser menus?
[05:36] <neverblue> atxatx, did you ask about your situation in #php?
[05:36] <atxatx> sorry...
[05:36] <Pici> jesson: sudo apt-get install wine
[05:36] <atxatx> yeah those guys are weird
[05:36] <atxatx> they speak in code
[05:36] <neverblue> jesson, sudo aptitude install wine :)
[05:36] <spective> Ok. I'm having a problem in that certain system daemons such as slapd and notably dhcp3d run extremely slow when they start up. i.e. the start-up messages are printed a line at a time every 10 seconds. Using strace, they seem to be pausing on the "send" syscall. Any ideas? Please?
[05:36] <matthew_> inside the broser i said use web pages default colors
[05:37] <nathan> how do I read the log file in irssi?
[05:37] <neverblue> atxatx, they are use to ppl not reading before entering the channel, they try and 'weird' those ppl out :)
[05:37] <neverblue> nathan, maybe try google?
[05:38] <Dougie> hmm. ok well i get an error doing that =/
[05:38] <Pici> nathan: 11:25 <neverblue> nathan, as for how to start the program, you should just type in 'kompozer' or get the results from 'which kompozer'
[05:38] <jesson> i downloaded wine but its on my desktop how do i install it if its in my destop already??
[05:38] <Pici> nathan: /lastlog nathan 30
[05:38] <unics> how can i make programs autostart at startup ? (like kde for example)
[05:38] <neverblue> Pici, spoonfeeder :P
[05:38] <pringle> trouble installing nvidia drivers....when i run nvidia-xconfig  x wont start
[05:38] <nathan> you guys are so sweet =] 
[05:38] <atxatx> neverblue, they asked me 'does your design document call for both php4 and php5' and so on, clearly they are on another level
[05:38] <Pici> jesson: Why don't you want to install it from the repos?
[05:38] <noplease> ubuntu.de
[05:38] <wanger> cd /usr/src/
[05:39] <neverblue> atxatx, I have -voice in the channel :)
[05:39] <wanger> ha, sorry
[05:39] <kauer> javid: The symlinks problem is unlikely to be a problem with su itself. Can you give us more info? The solution (su) suggested by SlimeyPete is good...
[05:39] <jesson> i got used to windows where u just 2x clic it anyway im downloading it again from the termnal
[05:39] <Dougie> Jowi, I built the package with checkinstall and then it gives an error something about broken pipe? Let me pastebin it
[05:39] <Pici> neverblue: I'm not going to make a user jump through hoops just to get a logfile when you could have just repeated it.
[05:39] <neverblue> pringle, using any documentation for setting that up?
[05:39] <atxatx> neverblue, i don't follow, sorry newb here
[05:39] <fireglow26[SUST] > hi
[05:39] <neverblue> Pici, I dont like to repeat :)
[05:39] <Jowi> Dougie, ok. not sure i can help but i can have a look
[05:39] <serenityUK> Javid, if you want to just issue one command you need quotes like....   su username -c 'some command here'
[05:39] <neverblue> atxatx, means I cannot speak in the channel
[05:40] <fireglow26[SUST] > could i use a ubuntu desktop machine in order to use it sometimes as a server ?
[05:40] <nathan> now people don't have to repeat for me since I can read the logfile! And I tried in #irssi but no one answered
[05:40] <Pici> jesson: Its much better to install it from the repositories. That way if theres an upgrade, it gets updated automatically.
[05:40] <Pici> fireglow26[SUST] : Sure.
[05:40] <pringle> i was using beryl....I've uninstall it and I wanted to try Compiz...so im following instruction from the Compiz page
[05:40] <neverblue> good job nathan :)
[05:40] <nathan> thanks again I'm off to work!
[05:40] <Javid> root@sporkwieldingferret:/# su bacon -c 'xmms'
[05:40] <Javid> Unable to create symbolic link: File exists
[05:40] <Dougie> Jowi, ok....it seems to have worked the second time strange...
[05:40] <fireglow26[SUST] > cause i need a x-screen cause i am noob
[05:40] <pringle> mabye its because previously i was using envy?
[05:41] <MrMist> Hey guys
[05:41] <MrMist> I'm having big problems installing the server version of Feisty. The installation stops at 85%
[05:41] <MrMist> Any ideas why ?
[05:41] <kauer> javid: OK - the error message is telling you exactly what the problem is. Something in that command is trying to set a symlink, but the link it wants to create alreay exists. Often caused by reversing the parsm to "ln -s"....
[05:41] <atxatx> neverblue, you mean php channel right? anyway i just want to make sure php isn't killing my system resources, there are 10 instances of php-cgi in my system monitor
[05:41] <WaxyFresh> i need a link to a netboot floppy for xuuntu,please?
[05:41] <Jowi> Dougie, the only prob I've found so far with Checkinstall is that the version numbers may need to be modified in order for a install to succeed :)
[05:41] <jesson> yah its hard but i bought about linux already
[05:41] <jesson> a book*
[05:42] <fireglow26[SUST] > some howto how to use ubuntu like a webserver ?
[05:42] <Javid> just running xmms sets a symlink? x.x
[05:42] <neverblue> atxatx, you can see my posts in here (yes, the #php)
[05:42] <neverblue> fireglow26[SUST] , google 'ubuntu guide'
[05:42] <sipior> MrMist: any hint of what it was doing at that point?
[05:42] <fireglow26[SUST] > thx
[05:42] <kauer> javid: what is "bacon"? Is that a username?
[05:42] <Javid> yes
[05:42] <neverblue> fireglow26[SUST] , also, look at LAMP
[05:42] <Dougie> Jowi, one sec
[05:42] <MrMist> sipior: It says: installed php5-mysql
[05:43] <pringle> can some1 pls help me installing nvidia drivers
[05:43] <jesson> what better run webserver using the ubuntu server edition or run server under ubuntu destop??
[05:43] <pringle> i cant start x
[05:43] <gordonjcp> jesson: depends what you're trying to do
[05:43] <sipior> MrMist: is there a "details" tab you can open up on screen?
[05:43] <Dougie> Jowi, here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34809/
[05:43] <gordonjcp> jesson: if you want a "local" webserver for development, desktop is fine
[05:43] <jesson> i want to run a webserver and mail server
[05:43] <gordonjcp> jesson: if you want a server, install the server version
[05:43] <pringle> nvidia-xconfig wont do the trick eather....error loading nvidia module
[05:43] <pringle> 
[05:43] <unics> is SSH server installed by default on ubuntu server 7.04 ?
[05:43] <Pici> jesson: Do you also want to use it as a desktop computer?
[05:44] <jesson> yah
[05:44] <RickJones> !java
[05:44] <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
[05:44] <Pici> jesson: Then ubuntu-desktop is better

[05:45] <Jowi> Dougie, you need to ./configure and make as normal before running checkinstall.
[05:45] <jesson> pici do i monitor and run my server using the terminal ?
[05:45] <serenityUK> pringle so you installed from nvidia web site?
[05:45] <w1relessm0nkey> unics, no the server needs to be installed... sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[05:45] <pringle> yes
[05:45] <Dougie> Jowi, oh ok
[05:45] <MrMist> sipior: Ah... luckily the setup program dumps messages to another terminal
[05:45] <WaxyFresh> i need a link to a netboot floppy for xuuntu,please?
[05:45] <pringle> and when i run nvidia-xconfig x wint start
[05:45] <Pici> jesson: You can do whatever you want.
[05:45] <unics> thank you w1relessm0nkey
[05:45] <MrMist> sipior: Seems the installation program tries to resulv norwegian servers, however they seem down
[05:45] <kauer> javid: I wnder if "xmms" is actually a script. Do "which xmms" and then check the file it returns...
[05:46] <serenityUK> pringle i think it is because you had old ubuntu drivers still on they need to be removed before you install from nv website
[05:46] <jesson> picci the dowloadng is done wat command do i run next?
[05:46] <Javid> /usr/bin/xmms
[05:46] <pringle> modprobe --show-depends nvidia
[05:46] <w1relessm0nkey> pringle, nvidia-xconfig has never worked for me, it's easier to install the drivers manually.
[05:46] <pringle> insmod /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/i2c/i2c-core.ko
[05:46] <pringle> install /sbin/lrm-video nvidia

[05:46] <sipior> MrMist: yes, a large part of Surfnet is down atm, that may be your trouble
[05:46] <Jowi> Dougie, so if you normally do "./configure --prefix=/usr" + "make" + "sudo make install" you now do "./configure --prefix=/usr" + "make" + "sudo checkinstall"
[05:46] <pringle> can u tell me how to do that
[05:46] <jesson> (Reading database ... 93184 files and directories currently installed.)
[05:46] <jesson> Unpacking wine (from .../wine_0.9.33-0ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...
[05:46] <jesson> Setting up wine (0.9.33-0ubuntu1)
[05:46] <RickJones> i give up
[05:46] <MrMist> sipior: Any way I can get the setup program to use other servers?
[05:46] <RickJones> nothing wants to install java for me on feisty
[05:47] <kauer> javid: And what does "less /usr/bin/xmms" tell you - it it a binary?
[05:47] <serenityUK> pringle type   sudo apt-get remove nvidia*      then reinstall nvidia package like   sudo sh NVIDIAxxx.run
[05:47] <SlimeyPete> RickJones: you enaled universe/multiverse and told synaptic toinstall the sun-java6 packages?
[05:47] <SlimeyPete> *enabled
[05:47] <RickJones> yup
[05:47] <Javid> it's a binary
[05:47] <sipior> MrMist: you might try selecting a different location at the beginning, as i assume they choose servers based upon that information. play around, see what you can find.
[05:47] <MrMist> sipior: I get an error from security.ubuntu.com
[05:48] <unics> ps x
[05:48] <pringle> working.......a sec
[05:48] <unics> lol
[05:48] <w1relessm0nkey> pringle, download the appropriate driver from the nvidia website, save it to your home folder.  hit ctrl+alt+backspace to get to commandline. run sudo sh NVidiadrivername.sh
[05:48] <kauer> javid: Then check the profiles on bacon's account, maybe something odd is going on in .bashrc or similar.
[05:48] <serenityUK> well im using the 8800 drivers maybe old one are different
[05:48] <w1relessm0nkey> answer the appropriate questions, and you should be set.
[05:48] <sipior> MrMist: might want to wait a bit, till the network craziness dies down
[05:48] <unics> ok, how can i start openssh-server after installing ?
[05:48] <jesson> how do i know if i have the wine installed already??
[05:48] <Javid> you have it
[05:48] <w1relessm0nkey> unics, after installing it should start up automatically.
[05:48] <unics> ohh
[05:48] <Dougie> Jowi, ok this is not working...i installed netpbm using the checkinstall and it says its successful but then the app i'm trying to install that uses it as a dependancy says its not there
[05:48] <MrMist> sipior: Ehm... I've allready formatted the drive
[05:48] <unics> what's de default listening port ?
[05:49] <unics> the*
[05:49] <Javid> you should just be able to doubleclick on windows executables now
[05:49] <w1relessm0nkey> unics 22
[05:49] <kauer> unics: do "ps ax | grep sshd", you'll probably find it's already running.
[05:49] <kauer> unics: 22
[05:49] <sipior> MrMist: don't worry, it'll stay formatted :)
[05:49] <unics> ok, thank you :)
[05:49] <w1relessm0nkey> no problem, good luck
[05:49] <MrMist> sipior: ehm... but I want to use the PC
[05:49] <MrMist> argh
[05:49] <Jowi> Dougie, netpbm is already available

[05:50] <w1relessm0nkey> love the yakuake!
[05:50] <sipior> MrMist: well, you can boot from the live CD, or just try selecting another server set
[05:50] <Javid> hell yeah, that's the first thing I install
[05:50] <unics> and how can i start kde after installing ?
[05:50] <Jowi> Dougie, maybe the app you want to use need a different version of it. check the README or webpage or manual of the app you try to install.
[05:50] <kauer> javid: status on the symlinks prob?
[05:50] <Pici> unics: Did you install kubuntu-desktop?
[05:50] <Dougie> Jowi, is it the libnetpbm?
[05:51] <unics> Pici, yes
[05:51] <Pici> unics: then: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start
[05:51] <Javid> well, the last thing you said exceeded the limits of my linux knowledge, so I'm basically stuck floundering
[05:51] <Jowi> Dougie, i don't know what you are looking for so I can't help further than this.
[05:51] <unics> Pici, is there a way to auto-start this when ubuntu starts up or does it already ?
[05:51] <Dougie> Jowi, its ok... there was an update for netpbm so i'm going to see if that helps
[05:52] <Pici> unics: It does it by default.
[05:52] <Jowi> Dougie, "apt-cache search netpbm" will list some packages you might or might not need.
[05:52] <unics> ok, thank you
[05:52] <Curs0r> so I got this python script from someone to reload my cube images, the problem is, unless the filenames change it won't refresh. What can I do about that?
[05:52] <Dougie> Jowi, yeah i did that
[05:52] <kauer> javid: Maybe it would help if you told us why you want to start an X program as a different user (or are you the user "bacon" on this system?).
[05:52] <Javid> I am bacon
[05:52] <vinicri> hi everybody
[05:52] <Curs0r> hi
[05:52] <Pici> !hi
[05:52] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:53] <Magaiver> aew
[05:53] <Pici> Curs0r: Might want to ask that in #python
[05:53] <vinicri> i'm trying to install build-essential through apt-get and i get the error message E: Couldn't find package build-essencial
[05:53] <Curs0r> Pici, actually I meant to ask in #compiz-fusion-dev ;)
[05:53] <vinicri> i'cant compile C source code with gcc
[05:53] <Pici> vinicri: Thats because its build-essential
[05:53] <jesson> why cant i extract zip file on my filesystem or hardrive?? all my extracted files are only allowed on destop help please
[05:54] <vinicri> i't missing the hearder files
[05:54] <Javid> kauer,  OK. I'm using TPB to catch hardware button inputs, and the config file gives me one line for the command to run. Ihave to sudo tpb for it to catch the inputs right, and I don't want everything running as root
[05:54] <vinicri> thx. what a shame.. sorry
[05:54] <Javid> !info tpb
[05:54] <ubotu> tpb: program to use the IBM ThinkPad(tm) special keys. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.6.4-2.2ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 54 kB, installed size 264 kB (Only available for i386)
[05:54] <kauer> javid: Then why do you want to (as root) runn xmms as you? It seems a bit bass-ackward...
[05:54] <wolfsong> hi hopefully this will be an easy question...i modified xorg.conf to add another resolution but once i restart gnome i still don't see the option in the list of available resolutions...tried rebooting but that didn't work...any ideas?
[05:54] <kauer> javid: Sorry, crossed line. wait
[05:55] <jesson> why cant i extract zip file on my filesystem or hardrive?? all my extracted files are only allowed on destop help please
[05:55] <wanger> jesson: that questions all kinds of confusing, is your desktop not part of your filesystem or harddrive?
[05:55] <jesson> no i mean i cant extract them on bin usr folder
[05:55] <Pici> jesson: Where are you trying to extract the file?
[05:55] <jesson> or any other folder
[05:55] <Dr_willis> jesson,  clarify that a bit.
[05:55] <serenityUK> jesson, only root can do that
[05:55] <Dr_willis> jesson,  writing to those dirs. needs root priviliges.
[05:55] <jesson> how do i get root?
[05:55] <Pici> jesson: 1) You can only do that with sudo 2) Why would you want to do that, that sounds bad.
[05:56] <Dr_willis> oops wrong nick. :) sorry
[05:56] <Dr_willis> heh
[05:56] <GigaClon> jesson you should be able to extract in your home directory
[05:56] <Dr_willis> time to learn some linux basics.
[05:56] <wanger> serenityUK : ah nice catch =)
[05:56] <Pici> !sudo | jesson
[05:56] <jesson> how do i make my own folder then on my hardrve?
[05:56] <ubotu> jesson: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:56] <Pici> jesson: You have your own folder in /home
[05:56] <fyrestrtr> jesson: mkdir ~/somedir
[05:56] <jesson> let me look dont leave
[05:57] <vinicri> i'm trying to install postfix and it requests the 'db'. Where do i find it?
[05:57] <serenityUK> jesson, the folder in home with your name is like MyDocuments all your user files go in there
[05:58] <Jowi> jesson, your /home/username (and possibly /tmp) is the only folder you can write to by default without having higher privileges.
[05:58] <jesson> i C, now i have the downloaded exe program on my home folder under that i made a folder named bot how do i run the program inside the bot folder using wine??
[05:58] <ObeLisK_12183> Heey @ aLL
[05:58] <unics> any idea why i can't connect through SSH to my machine ?
[05:58] <crasher5> jesson sudo nautilus
[05:58] <ObeLisK_12183> help me please xD   www.pennergame.de/ref.php?uid=12183
[05:58] <fyrestrtr> jesson: wine ~/bot/nameofile.exe
[05:58] <jesson> let me try
[05:59] <tomaw> ObeLisK_12183: please don't spam that url here.
[05:59] <luke> Anyone know how to fix java under feisty to allow Azureus, Frostwire and Limewire to work.
[05:59] <ObeLisK_12183> oh..
[05:59] <ObeLisK_12183> oKay
[05:59] <ObeLisK_12183> sry
[05:59] <tomaw> ObeLisK_12183: It's against both the game policy and freenode policy :)
[05:59] <MrMist> sipior: I'm trying to connect to a swedish server now
[06:00] <Pici> !postfix | vinicri have you read these
[06:00] <ubotu> vinicri have you read these: postfix is the default Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for Ubuntu. Read more about setting it up here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix or here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto

[06:00] <luke> yep
[06:00] <imranf> Hi, I've recently installed ubuntu fiesty fawn.. and tried desktop effects but I think my system doesn't support them
 now the desktop becomes white .. and I am stucked.. ! :(
 how to disable the "desktop effects thing" from gnome-console?
[06:00] <jrib> luke: did you make sun your default java?
[06:00] <unics> so, i'm connecting to the internet through a router which is connected to a cable modem, i have 2 machines connected to this router and one of them is running ubuntu with openssh-server but i can't connect through putty to that machine, any idea why ?
[06:01] <luke> java broke when i did a kernel update from ubuntu.
[06:01] <jrib> luke: you need to expand on "broke"
[06:01] <luke> how do I make java my default
[06:01] <jrib> !multijava > luke (see the private message from ubotu)
[06:02] <Ron> What's the key combination to open a new instance of the terminal in an installation without X installed? I forget...
[06:02] <serenityUK> unics, can you ping the server from the other machine?
[06:02] <luke> Ok, java worked perfectly and all my java based apps worked great. But after the kernel update it stop working
[06:02] <wanger> Ron: alt+F1/2/3/4/5/6 what you're after?
[06:02] <Jeannie> #gmato.info
[06:03] <Ron> Wanger: That's it. Thanks. :D
[06:03] <vinicri> i would be stupid trying to install it with the sources. i thinking i'm getting a quite apt-getholic..
[06:03] <Ron> Wanger: Much appreciated.
[06:03] <jrib> luke: what happens when you type 'frostwire' in a terminal?  Paste the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:03] <imranf> Hi, I've recently installed ubuntu fiesty fawn.. and tried desktop effects but I think my system doesn't support them now the desktop becomes white .. and I am stucked.. ! :(
[06:03] <imranf> How to disable the "desktop effects thing" from gnome-console?
[06:03] <Pici> vinicri: always give in to peer pressure
[06:03] <wolfsong> how do i reload xorg.conf after making changes?
[06:03] <crasher5> ctrl+alt+F's
[06:04] <jrib> wolfsong: restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace)
[06:04] <serenityUK> wolfsong, crtl-alt-backspace
[06:04] <serenityUK> damn too slow
[06:04] <unics> well, serenityUK, actually the IP is the same for both machines, so i could aswell be pinging the same machine :/
[06:04] <serenityUK> unics, something is wrong they can't have same ip
[06:04] <unics> serenityUK, well, they do
[06:04] <wolfsong> wouldn't a reboot also load the changes?
[06:04] <luke> Java reports a memory dump fault and Frostwire closes.
[06:04] <jrib> wolfsong: yes, but that's overkill
[06:04] <unics> i got to www.whatismyip.com, and both machines seem to have the same IP
[06:05] <Pici> unics: Yes. Thats normal.
[06:05] <jrib> luke: pastebin the entire output
[06:05] <wolfsong> i added another screen resolution but i don't see it listed
[06:05] <serenityUK> wolfsong, crtl-alt-backspace just reloads X  reboot shutsdown whole machine and restart
[06:05] <kauer> javid: Can't really help you more without massive investment of time in tpb :-(
[06:05] <serenityUK> wolfsong, it's quicker
[06:05] <Pici> unics: ifconfig on your ubuntu computer and then putty into the address that shows up there.
[06:05] <Javid> hehe
[06:05] <Javid> ok
[06:05] <wolfsong> either way i still don't see the option i added
[06:06] <zafer> hey guys i have question regarding GRUB
[06:06] <luke> Ok will do.
[06:06] <zafer> my stupid friend
[06:06] <zafer> installed windows
[06:06] <unics> Pici, which one 'that shows there'
[06:06] <zafer> then installed ubuntu
[06:06] <jrib> !enter | zafer
[06:06] <ubotu> zafer: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[06:06] <serenityUK> unics, something like 192.168.2.1
[06:06] <zafer> but forgot to install grub...i guess he said no when the option was given  to install it during the ubuntu installation
[06:06] <Pici> unics: unics There should be an entry that has something like:  inet addr: 192.x
[06:06] <Pici> x
[06:06] <Javid> that bot just has an answer for everything doesn't it
[06:07] <wolfsong> i added 1280x1024 but the highest screen res i can select is still 1024x768
[06:07] <zafer> is there anyway to install GRUB ?

[06:10] <_Somebody> *solve
[06:10] <unics> hmm
[06:10] <serenityUK> unics, you need to do port forwarding on the router

[06:12] <kauer> M_42: A screwdriver. Place the point under the LCD and lever until it all goes black. Or if it is running under X and understands DPMS you could use "xset -display :0.0 dpms force off"
[06:13] <Pici> jesson: Have you tried running it off your desktop?
[06:13] <jesson> yah didnt work

[06:15] <Beryllium> Hi; I have an LG DVD-RW drive that I'm trying to use to install Ubuntu 7.04 on an MSI P35Neo/Core 2 Quad system. The boot menu works, but it won't boot the OS - says no filesystem is found, and dumps me to BusyBox.
[06:15] <LiberCogito> I have Cedega installed, how do I set it up so that all users have access to the way its configured under the main user's login?
[06:15] <Beryllium> So, how can I get my drive to show up so the install can proceed?
[06:16] <Pici> jesson: so move it to the folder I suggsted, you can use ctrl-h in nautilus to show hidden files and folders like .wine
[06:16] <jesson> move it where?
[06:16] <Beryllium> (It's an ATA/IDE DVD-RW drive)
[06:16] <sudobash> is there anything special i must do to get a usb printer to work with gutenprint?
[06:16] <kauer> M_42: Use the screensaver function - System->Preferences->Screensaver and select the screensaver theme "Blank screen". Way simpler.
[06:17] <serenityUK> Beryllium, is that an IDE drive?
[06:17] <Pici> M_42: You can do that from the power managment off of the preferencces menu
[06:17] <bruenig> sudobash, um define special, the vast majority of printers are usb

[06:17] <Beryllium> serenityUK: Yes it is.
[06:17] <LiberCogito> I have Cedega installed, how do I set it up so that all users have access to the way its configured under the main user's login?

[06:19] <M_42> kauer, sorry I missed what bruenig said.   What was it?
[06:19] <serenityUK> Beryllium, it says that but you still need it... when it says reading files needed to boot you are ok
[06:19] <Vlet> cyrenity: So set a subnet... subnet 255.255.0.0 maybe?
[06:19] <luke> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34811/

[06:21] <Vlet> cyrenity: So you do have a subnet defined, but dhcpd is complaining about not having one?
[06:21] <keito> Pici: I'm guessing you can just overwrite the current set 80)
[06:21] <Beryllium> serenityUK: ooh, good call. Thanks.
[06:22] <Pici> keito: I think you can, but if you want to package it for others to use, thats not really ideal.

[06:22] <cyrenity> i change /etc/default/dhcp-server too
[06:22] <cyrenity> to listen dhcp on eth1:1
[06:22] <Vlet> JeevesMoss: Do you have firestarter installed? Perhaps your firewall is blocking all non-local traffic to sshd?
[06:22] <cyrenity> but still dhcp complaining
[06:22] <JeevesMoss> vlet:  and if I try to ping, I'm getting a "icmp_seq=10 Destination host unreachable".  I'm thinking that it's a DNS error, but I don't know how to fix it.  I don't have a firewall on this system.  it's being taken care of by the router
[06:23] <Vlet> JeevesMoss: Well, it sounds like it must be your router
[06:23] <serenityUK> Beryllium, you need to add   generic.all_generic_ide=1   to grub to happen every time you boot..  come back and i will tell you how
[06:23] <JeevesMoss> vlet:  hummm, and I can't get apache to start

[06:42] <MrObvious> !hi | newbeeeee
[06:42] <ubotu> newbeeeee: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[06:42] <onats> what's the command to see all the open ports on my machine?
[06:42] <MOTZ> ok ich lese
[06:43] <serenityUK> unics, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[06:43] <newbeeeee> i have some problem with a Ubuntu 7.04. i can't convince him to make my microphon to do his job
[06:43] <rajiv_nair> onats: i think netstat will show u that :-?
[06:43] <MrObvious> ma3x: Sorry. "sudo" uses your account password. For example I log in with password (edited). To use sudo I use the password (edited).
[06:43] <MOTZ> already read ubuntu wiki
[06:43] <unics> serenityUK, thank you, and sorry if i'm annoying but i'm new to this :)
[06:43] <newbeeeee> sorry for my english with english i'm newbeeee to:)

[06:44] <serenityUK> unics, that's why we're here.. and why ubuntu is the greatest lol!
[06:44] <MrObvious> newbeeeee: Your question is very vague.
[06:44] <scipio> greenmanspirit: no need for 32 bit firefox
[06:44] <MOTZ> have problem to run  extensa acer 5210 with wlan
[06:44] <onats> so next, how do i open up ports?
[06:44] <MrObvious> MOTZ: What is the wi-fi adapter?
[06:45] <MrObvious> onats: On your router?
[06:45] <newbeeeee> i have the system instaled. it works. the only thing what does not work it is my microphon
[06:45] <onats> mrobvious, no, on my ubuntu machine, am working in a lan
[06:45] <onats> port 5060 seems to be closed.. cant connect to my asterisk server
[06:45] <MOTZ> erm broadcom 4311
[06:45] <big_bang14> my ralink card seems to be dropping in speed at about every 45 min (havent checked time) this is odd because in windows it seemed to start dropping as soon as a connection was made. usualy when i restart the computer its ok, but not alway. i can figure out what the problem is.
[06:45] <MrObvious> onats: Then your network administrator has a port blocked.

[06:45] <MOTZ> oh thx
[06:46] <newbeeeee> hi knoopx
[06:46] <onats> mrobvious, i'm the network administator.. hehe its a home network
[06:46] <rajiv_nair> onats: to simple listen on a port "nc -l -p <port no.>" should do the trick
[06:46] <serenityUK> flash in 64bit is easy peasy there is a script to install nspluginwrapper for you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=476924
[06:46] <MrObvious> onats: Then log into your router and forward the port 5... (whatever it was)
[06:46] <onats> mrobvious, but i'm working within the LAN
[06:46] <onats> so i dont think there needs to be port forwarding right?
[06:46] <MrObvious> onats: Hmm guess not then.
[06:46] <tripitaka> I've got a 64bit centrino laptop here. Should I install the 32bit or 64bit ubuntu for full package goodness?
[06:46] <erUSUL> rsa: build-essential is a meta-package that installs many programs needed tu build software from source like gcc; make; dev libs; linkers etc
[06:47] <sid> How can I see the device ID for my built-in camera on my laptop. It's built-in to the LCD
[06:47] <dxdt> Anyone here installed the webalizer with Ubuntu?  Can the whole world see these stats by default?  Can that be changed?
[06:47] <ostannard> onats: what is the actual error message that you get?
[06:47] <rajiv_nair> tripitaka: 32bit ubuntu means lesser headaches i guess
[06:47] <scipio> tripitaka: i'd say 32bit
[06:47] <MrObvious> tripitaka: You can install both and see which one works for you. Fourtinately flash is possible on 64 bit Ubuntu.
[06:47] <serenityUK> tripitaka, you only really need 64bit to use more than 3gb ram
[06:47] <MrObvious> tripitaka: They're both free.
[06:47] <rockets> Anybody know how to invoked the useradd/userdel etc scripts you set up in samba via smb.conf
[06:47] <BlueDevil> can anyone help me build a package for the latest nvidia driver? i have a custom built kernel
[06:47] <serenityUK> tripitaka, i have 8gb so i need 64bit
[06:47] <onats> ostannard, failed to create a udp socket (SIP) on port 5060 - address already in use
[06:47] <greenmanspirit> which if further along gnash or swf-player?
[06:47] <rajiv_nair> 8GB RAM :O
[06:47] <tripitaka> that's three and a half votes for 32 bit, half a vote for 64. Motion carried.
[06:47] <sid> rockets: #samba
[06:47] <serenityUK> tripitaka, if i had 2 i would choose 32
[06:48] <onats> but checking nmap, only ipp port is open
[06:48] <sid> greenmanspirit: gnash
[06:48] <sk0t> How can I change the menu button in GNOME? from the Ubuntu symbol to something else ?
[06:48] <sid> greenmanspirit: by a long shot
[06:48] <serenityUK> yes it new coputer from june
[06:48] <erUSUL> BlueDevil: just run the NVIDIA***.run with sudo

[06:49] <gaston_> and i cant starrt the  scanner
[06:49] <MrObvious> BlueDevil: Just edit xorg.conf to change the driver from nvidia to nv.
[06:49] <unics> how to run synaptic, or will i have to install it first ?
[06:49] <gaston_> anyone knows another way from run the sacanner

[06:51] <rajiv_nair> sk0t:Under apps > panels > objects > object_X, where X is the number of the "object" that is type "menu-object", check 'use_custom_icon' on the right and give a path to the icon under 'custom_icon'
[06:51] <rajiv_nair> sk0t:thats it i guess
[06:51] <MOTZ> then he copied 1 file errors are normal as i read
[06:51] <onats> ostannard, nestat -a | grep 5060 yields no lines...
[06:51] <sk0t> rajiv_nair, thanks, I will find it now that I know where to look.

[06:53] <MrObvious> !hi
[06:53] <MrObvious> :)
[06:53] <MrObvious> lol
[06:53] <rajiv_nair> :D
[06:54] <big_bang14> my ralink card seems to be dropping in speed at about every 45 min (havent checked time) this is odd because in windows it seemed to start dropping as soon as a connection was made. usualy when i restart the computer its ok, but not alway. i can figure out what the problem is.

[06:55] <sk0t> rajiv_nair, thanks, that worked perfectly.
[06:55] <rausb0> big_bang14: what type of wireless encryption do you use?
[06:55] <rajiv_nair> sk0t: never a problem :)

[06:56] <serenityUK> bye raj
[06:57] <wolfsong> serenityUK: what was the control panel command you mentioned?
[06:57] <MOTZ> Broadcom 4311"
[06:57] <MOTZ> on iwconfig he said broadcom 4311
[06:57] <serenityUK> sudo nvidia-settings
[06:58] <neverblue> :O
[06:58] <wolfsong> serenityUK: thanks
[06:58] <rausb0> big_bang14: maybe the AP is too far away from the card?
[06:58] <Jowi> big_bang14, could be the router/AP. try a different channel.
[06:59] <gvsa123> hello!
[06:59] <serenityUK> welcome gv
[06:59] <gvsa123> what application can i use to format disks like floppies and usb's?
[06:59] <Jowi> big_bang14, "different channel" as in a different channel on the AP/router. not a different IRC channel :)
[07:00] <big_bang14>  Jowi: i know what you mean, i tried and it made no differnce
[07:00] <wolfsong> serenityUK: i don't see the resolution i want...how do i add it?
[07:01] <gvsa123> and is there something that integrates well with gnome so there are right click options to format a disk or something? is there?
[07:01] <MOTZ> he alwasy said interface doenstg support scanning
[07:01] <ma3x> gosh i am soooo dissapointed of all linux versions... anyway, thanks for the help guys
[07:01] <Beryllium> serenityUK: It looks like I won't need to add that line to grub to boot the system, only to get the DVD drive working ... so I can do that later. :) But the system has an NX8400GS GeForce PCIe card. Any idea how to get that working in Xorg?
[07:01] <ma3x> bye
[07:01] <recon> gvsa123: for just simple formatting, gparted works bretty well.;
[07:01] <electronick> LINUX RULX
[07:02] <electronick> mas edit scand
[07:02] <MOTZ> omgggggggggg
[07:02] <MOTZ> it works
[07:02] <MOTZ> ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[07:03] <Jowi> big_bang14, normally a drop in connection or a slowdown is due to interferences. Try a few channels without encryption. if that does not help call the AP/router manufacturer. it might be hot, need a FW upgrade, be broken or all of the above... It could also be wireless phones that uses the same channels.
[07:03] <MOTZ> he is scanning
[07:03] <gvsa123> recon: oh that's it already? no other that provides something like quick options when you right click on the disk?
[07:03] <MOTZ> ahhhhhhh
[07:03] <serenityUK> Beryllium, as that is a new card I would download the driver from nvidia web site... i have 8800 and I prefer the latest drivers to the ubuntu package
[07:03] <Beryllium> Oh, I found some walkthroughs. I should beo kay for the video card ...
[07:03] <Beryllium> oh? okay. Thanks :)
[07:03] <serenityUK> Beryllium, yes if you have SATA you will be ok that boot ooption is just for IDE drives.. don't loos it though
[07:04] <Badpenguin86> Anyone here play doom3 on linux?
[07:04] <idefix> so never can windows software be installed on a ubuntu machine not even without wine :|(
[07:04] <electronick> can a portable be allways on?
[07:04] <recon> gvsa123: on media, you could hit places>Computer, right click on the drive, and there should be a format option.
[07:04] <UbuntuN00B_HBG> Could anyone help me troubleshoot my ATI-drivers... everything seems to be in place, and xorg.conf is correct... but running fglrxinfo still says im running mesa...!
[07:04] <gvsa123> recon: i saw one in synaptics, but it was for made for kde and i checked the website, it says it hasn't fixed the formatting of usb's yet...
[07:04] <recon> gvsa123: it should just work by itself.
[07:05] <recon> gvsa123: what do you need to format, a flash drive?
[07:05] <gvsa123> recon: yep
[07:05] <gvsa123> recon: you meant /media
[07:06] <recon> gvsa123: you might want to try this script: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=302724
[07:06] <wolfsong>  serenityUK: i don't see the resolution i want...how do i add it?
[07:06] <benn92647> does fiesty fawn have like a last good configuration option?
[07:07] <Beryllium> serenityUK: np. I added it to the work wiki :)
[07:07] <gvsa123> recon: can't find the format option though
[07:07] <serenityUK> wolfsong, eh?  when i click on resolution menu it show everything from 320x240 to 1680x1050
[07:07] <DrakeJustice> anyone have a link related to kde4 development?
[07:07] <serenityUK> Beryllium, do you want tips for nvidia website install?
[07:07] <wolfsong> serenityUK: the highest resolution i have is 1280x800 and i want 1280x1024
[07:08] <serenityUK> Beryllium, are you 32bit or 64bit?
[07:08] <_ergo_> what is better to use ? using apt-get (or synaptic) , or rather compiling from source ?
[07:08] <Beryllium> the CPU is 64bit, but I don't know how to check if the kernel is running in that mode
[07:08] <ward__> how can i open port 80? it shows up filtered when i test it from within my LAN on another PC
[07:08] <serenityUK> apt-get because it update when new version are out, and easier to uninstall
[07:08] <giany911> synaptic _ergo_ :)
[07:08] <Pici> Beryllium: `uname -a` see if its AMD64 or not
[07:08] <serenityUK> Beryllium,  uname -r
[07:08] <benn92647> ergo: depends on what your trying to do, each has its purpose
[07:08] <Beryllium> it's a Core 2 Quad
[07:08] <PriceChild> Beryllium, well did you install using the 64bit cd?
[07:08] <solid_liq> have the sources for breezy updates changed at some point?
[07:09] <bruenig> solid_liq, breezy is end of life, there will be no more updates, it is dead
[07:09] <PriceChild> solid_liq, breezy has reached end of life and is no longer supported
[07:09] <Beryllium> says it's running generic. No idea, doubt it.
[07:09] <solid_liq> I thought breezy was 5 year support?
[07:09] <solid_liq> or wait
[07:09] <PriceChild> solid_liq, that's dapper (3 year desktop, 5 year server)
[07:09] <bruenig> solid_liq, you are thinking dapper, and dapper is 3 year support on the desktop 5 on servers iirc
[07:09] <solid_liq> that's 6.04
[07:09] <serenityUK> _ergo_,  apt-get because it updates when new versions are out, and is easier to uninstall
[07:09] <Jowi> solid_liq, dapper is long term
[07:09] <PriceChild> solid_liq, 6.06
[07:09] <_ergo_> benn92647, im learning , ill be prramming a bit (pgsql, php), having fun , some games, general use, im new to *nix systems in general
[07:09] <Pici> !lts
[07:09] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[07:09] <recon> gvsa123: do you really need to have a right-click option? that link should give you the instructions to add a right-click option.
[07:09] <solid_liq> bruenig: so how can I upgrade breezy server to dapper server?
[07:09] <JKtheCJer> hey everyone, how do you reinstall a module (using apt-get)?
[07:10] <bruenig> !upgrading | solid_liq
[07:10] <ubotu> solid_liq: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[07:10] <JKtheCJer> i tried to patch rtl8187 and screwed it up
[07:10] <solid_liq> bruenig: so just the normal switch to dapper from breezy in sources?
[07:10] <electronick> thx for the .gif
[07:10] <bruenig> solid_liq, ubotu told you
[07:11] <benn92647> ergo: for that look at compiling from source..there's alot of thing out there now to make it alot easier..search first in synaptic for anything related to compile or c++ and start there
[07:11] <solid_liq> bruenig: I've done it plenty, I just wanted to make sure this wouldn't be any diff. because of breezy being end of life
[07:11] <giany911> g++ comes preinstalled and it can compile .cpp's
[07:11] <JKtheCJer> how do you reinstall a module using apt-get, etc...?
[07:12] <PriceChild> JKtheCJer, "module"? And what are you "really" trying to do?
[07:12] <serenityUK> Beryllium, sorry uname -a and at end on right it will say i386 or x86_64
[07:12] <JKtheCJer> PriceChild: yes, "module" as in "device driver", im "really" trying to fix an unsuccessfully patched module
[07:12] <MetaMorfoziS> hi all
[07:13] <giany911> JKTheCJer why do you use Synaptic ? it's much easier
[07:13] <MetaMorfoziS> how can i determine that i can use sata 2.0 hdd on my motherboard?
[07:13] <gvsa123> recon: it would be much easier if we had something integrated to nautilus or something... or maybe that's a hangover from windows... lol... i'll just go get gparted though...
[07:13] <PriceChild> JKtheCJer, use packages.ubuntu.com to find which package the file is in
[07:13] <Pici> MetaMorfoziS: ask in ##hardware
[07:13] <PriceChild> JKtheCJer, then use sudo apt-get install --reinstall <packagename>
[07:13] <JKtheCJer> PriceChild: k, thank you
[07:13] <MetaMorfoziS> thx
[07:14] <Beryllium> said i686. Heh.
[07:14] <Beryllium> I have to find a few network cables to get it online, just a sec
[07:14] <serenityUK> ok 32bit
[07:14] <serenityUK> step 1:  download the driver from here about 14mb..  http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.11/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run
[07:14] <unics> checking for Tcl library... found /usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so.1
[07:15] <benn92647> metamorfozis: might just check your motherborads website and look up your specs there..if you have sata pots then chances are you can, might just need a bios update
[07:15] <unics> checking for Tcl header... {not found}
[07:15] <unics> what should i install ? :/
[07:16] <serenityUK> Beryllium, oh you haven't done your first lot of update yet lol.. that will take a few minutes about 50+ updates
[07:16] <unics> i installed tcl8.3 and 8.4 via synaptics, but it doesn't seem to work ...
[07:16] <Beryllium> Technically speaking, I shouldn't be getting the video card working; I have a set of pre-made scripts I need to run on the box to convert it into a thin client server ...
[07:16] <Pici> unics: you probably need the tcl -dev package(s)
[07:16] <FFForever2> does anyone know a nice color pallet program for linux that i can say pick green and move it up and down to control the color contrast?
[07:16] <Beryllium> so maybe I should just do that work-related stuff instead :)
[07:17] <Phrozen_One> has there been any recent updates that have broken sound?
[07:17] <serenityUK> ok.. its not hard... just install  build-essential first to setup the compiler
[07:17] <Pici> Phrozen_One: Are you running Gutsy?
[07:17] <Dougie> Whats a better alternative to Amarok? I can't seem to get it working with FLAC correctly and seeing as 90% of my collection is FLAC it's just not going to work.
[07:17] <Phrozen_One> Pici, Feisty
[07:17] <Pici> Dougie: Exaile is a GTK alternative to Amarok.
[07:18] <sipior> Dougie: you having problems with seeking in a flac file?
[07:18] <fyrestrtr> Dougie: exaile
[07:18] <allorder> how to fix date&time my time on toolbar is ok but not in console
[07:18] <Dougie> yeah i tried exaile
[07:18] <Pici> Phrozen_One: Okay, ask the channel again ;)
[07:18] <maria> ho,hola
[07:18] <FFForever2> anyone?
[07:18] <Phrozen_One> has there been any updates to break Intel ICH6 with AC'97 codec sound cards recently? I rebooted to not have sound
[07:18] <maria> alguien sabe espaol
[07:18] <Pici> !es | maria
[07:18] <ubotu> maria: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[07:18] <Dougie> sipior, seeiking?
[07:19] <Pici> FFForever2: Trying to remember the name of one...
[07:19] <JKtheCJer> ok, apprently packages.ubuntu.com does not list individual modules, ill try a new question: how can i reinstall every module without compiling the kernel or doing a full ubuntu install?
[07:19] <hetzz> ubuntu+webcam, tried easycam but it aint working. (says installation succeded but i se a lot of errors in terminal) any tips?
[07:19] <sipior> Dougie: going from the beginning to the middle, back to the beginning...seeking
[07:19] <allorder> how to fix date&time my time on toolbar is ok but not in console
[07:19] <JKtheCJer> im this close to just backing up and formatting
[07:19] <PriceChild> JKtheCJer, you can search to see what package a file is contained in.
[07:19] <serenityUK> FFForever2, GIMP has complete colour control but it is quite comlex
[07:19] <Dougie> sipior, nope thats working
[07:19] <JKtheCJer> ah there it s
[07:19] <sipior> Dougie: what problems are you having, then?
[07:20] <PriceChild> JKtheCJer, hehe :)
[07:20] <heavenquake> Im on the Ubuntu livecd, and has chrootet to my installed Arch system, in order to do some maintenance. Yet I cant, because the chrooted system complains about not enough diskspace
[07:20] <FFForever2> serenityUK, i am looking for something basic :), i use to have one on windows it was nice and all but wine hates me and does not like it
[07:20] <Dougie> sipior, it won't play them at all
[07:20] <dxdt> heavenquake: that is weird.  can you mount your archlinux drives and everything OK?
[07:20] <serenityUK> FFForever2, so you wan basic photo editing?  i think google picassa can do that
[07:21] <Pici> FFForever2: Try out agave
[07:21] <heavenquake> dxdt: everythings okay, I can navigate my drives and view my files
[07:21] <Dougie> also they all seem to be distorting the music A LOT like there is too much output gain or something
[07:21] <MOT1> it works ths people!
[07:21] <wolfsong> 1
[07:21] <sipior> Dougie: hmm...so how could you tell that seeking worked? :)
[07:21] <serenityUK> hey wolfsong did you fix it?
[07:21] <sipior> Dougie: you're using the xine backend for amarok?
[07:21] <JKtheCJer> unfortunately its inside a package called: linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic
[07:21] <zander> hi all, i'm in the middle of a feisty server installation, and it's giving me the option to install a DNS server. I understand what a DNS server does; it works like a phonebook, converting domain names to IP addresses. What i'm not sure about is why I would want to install one. Don't all ISP's provide two of them???
[07:21] <Badpenguin86> Anyone use doom3 on linux?
[07:21] <Dougie> sipior, well they work in exaile lol
[07:22] <sipior> Dougie: best to use that, then :)
[07:22] <Dougie> sipior, i installed amarok-engine
[07:22] <PriceChild> JKtheCJer, "unfortunately" ?
[07:22] <dxdt> zander: that is for people who actually want to run their own.  I did for a while for example.  If you don't know why you would need it, you don't need it.
[07:22] <Pici> zander: They are used inside corporate networks for name resolution, if you dont know why you would need one, dont install it.
[07:22] <PriceChild> !anyone | Badpenguin86
[07:22] <ubotu> Badpenguin86: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[07:22] <heavenquake> dxdt: Strange. I can write to the disk with vim and create directories, but the package manager is making a fuss
[07:22] <JKtheCJer> well perhaps not, im sort of afraid of running apt-get reinstall linux-image-*
[07:23] <zander> thanks dxdt and Pici ;)
[07:23] <serenityUK> zander, when i installed server on my laptop i just chose no to the packages for plain install
[07:23] <dxdt> heavenquake: which?  You  mean pacman or apt-get?  That is a realy weird problem.
[07:23] <heavenquake> pacman
[07:23] <heavenquake>  dxdt: error: failed to commit transaction (not enough space on disk)
[07:24] <heavenquake> theres like 15gigs of space in all, so it should be enough :/
[07:24] <sanguisdex> how do I reboot nautilus?
[07:25] <dxdt> heavenquake: weird.  Anyone in #archlinux know?  Like have they heard of the problem?
[07:25] <heavenquake> Ive asked but got no reply
[07:25] <bruenig> he hasn't even asked the question in there
[07:25] <serenityUK> sanguisdex, press crtl-alt-backspace to restart X
[07:25] <GIn> firefox uses 30%+ of the cpu all the time. :S
[07:25] <serenityUK> sanguisdex, save you work !
[07:26] <GSVClaw> I'm getting the message - "Make sure you have the 'universe' component enabled" while trying to install Wine... how do I fix this please?
[07:26] <hoody> hi there ... i need help! a folder called ""$HOME" is beeing created automatically. if i delete it it's back there just a few seconds later.
[07:26] <unics> ok, sorry, i got disconnected, did you get my last question ?
[07:27] <serenityUK> no unics
[07:27] <sanguisdex> thank you
[07:27] <unics> ok, i'll ask again
[07:27] <heavenquake> dxdt: hmm.. Can I unmount and try again? as in, how do I do that
[07:27] <GIn> hoody, why not just leave it there?
[07:27] <unics> checking for Tcl library... found /usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so.1
[07:27] <unics> checking for Tcl header... {not found}
[07:27] <unics> what should i install ?
[07:27] <dxdt> hoody: lol whut?  Were you editing something recently and acidentally added the extra " mark in that?  Because "$HOME" will reference your set home, but ""$HOME" has an extra " mark and might be your problem.
[07:27] <hoody> cause it's inside my home directory and it's annoying
[07:27] <unics> :)
[07:27] <PriceChild> Badpenguin86, no, if you are having troubles with doom3, ask and give us details.
[07:28] <dxdt> heavenquake: unmounting I dunno off the top of my head.  I can't remember how the livecd automounts things. :-/
[07:28] <heavenquake> dxdt: its not automounted. I mounted manually. But cant unmount because it says the device is busy
[07:28] <hoody> the exact path to this folder is /home/hoody/"$HOME
[07:28] <serenityUK> unics, tcl8.4-dev  if that is your version maybe 8.3...   the -dev packages mean headers
[07:28] <unics> ohh
[07:28] <dxdt> heavenquake: close the windows and such to that you have open for it and then you should be able to umount it.
[07:29] <mcsd> GVVClaw: a quick google search of "enable universe component wine" returned a linuxgaming page the describes The Universe Component: These are open-source software packages, not distributed by default, and they are unsupported by the Ubuntu staff, although they do provide the distribution. Users must enable the universe component by editing the file /etc/apt/sources.list after installing Ubuntu.
[07:29] <unics> i only installed tcl8.4, didn't know the -dev packages were required too
[07:29] <heavenquake> dxdt: did that
[07:29] <unics> thanks :)
[07:29] <serenityUK> glglgll i've never used TCL
[07:29] <Badpenguin86> I am trying to install doom3 on linux, but cannot find pak0003 an pak0004 on the cds
[07:29] <oswaldo> hola
[07:29] <dxdt> hoody: I'm pretty sure from your description that something you might have been messing with was actually typoed so now it is creating a folder called "$HOME instead of just using the variable $HOME which has the path to your home.  I would check out any files you were messing with recently for that typo.
[07:29] <GSVClaw> Is this a normal requirement for installing wine?
[07:30] <Pici> GSVClaw: Yes.
[07:30] <dxdt> heavenquake: I dunno then.  I'm not familiar enough to help out :-/  you gots some weird problems heh
[07:30] <allorder> how to fix date&time my time on toolbar is good but not in console
[07:30] <elias85> hello.any programs to rip cds to mp3?
[07:30] <Pici> !universe | GSVClaw
[07:30] <JKtheCJer> well i just reinstalled the kernel-image package and am about to reboot, wish me luck
[07:30] <ubotu> GSVClaw: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[07:30] <Pici> elias85: soundjuicer
[07:30] <heavenquake> dxdt: fair enough. do you know how I query the filesystem for its size and used space, then? preferably in mbytes
[07:30] <dxdt> allorder: you could install ntp, the network time protocol and have stuff synched up with servers.  sudo aptitude install ntp
[07:30] <hoody> dxdt: i'll search for something like that but i don't think i did sth. like that
[07:30] <GSVClaw> Thanks guys. :)
[07:31] <dxdt> heavenquake: ummm df -h or something like that I think
[07:31] <elias85> Pici : does it encode to Variable Bit Rate (VBR) ?
[07:31] <jerryrighter> i have a m-audio pro usb sound card im trying to get to work i plug it in it wont work and i cant shut my onboard one off any ideas?
[07:32] <Dougie> why does music sound so much better in linux :) lol
[07:32] <Pici> elias85: I dont know
[07:32] <serenityUK> Badpenguin86, i dont now about doom but quake it is in baseq4 folder...have you tried Places->Search for files and choosing lopk in CDROM
[07:33] <hoody> dxdt: hmm i guess banshee creates this folder
[07:33] <cellofellow> elias85: Ogg encoding is usually variable. I think LAME supports it.
[07:33] <cellofellow> elias85: for MP3.
[07:33] <benn92647> jerryrighter: go into system-prefernce and then sound...se if you can see your USB sound card there
[07:33] <allorder> how to fix date&time my time on toolbar is good but not in console, someone told me to do: sudo aptitude install ntp and i got this message:  No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
[07:33] <hoody> dxdt: maybe a bug .... i'm using gutsy
[07:33] <unics> in the processtable, how can i view programs that are being run by other users ?
[07:33] <jerryrighter> thanks benn
[07:34] <serenityUK> Badpenguin86, look in   base/pak003.pk4
[07:34] <unics> i mean, by users other than myself
[07:34] <cellofellow> !ntp | benn92647
[07:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntp - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:34] <cellofellow> ummm
[07:34] <ProN00b> can someone report two bugs for me ? (remote desktop preferences doesn't allow more than 8 chars for password and needs a default US keymap for keys to work correctly)
[07:34] <JKtheCJer> wow, reinstalling linux-image brought the module back
[07:35] <JKtheCJer> hooray!
[07:35] <JKtheCJer> thanks PriceChild!
[07:35] <JKtheCJer> now if i can just get my Alfa 500mW wifi adapter to play nice with monitor mode, ill be off the races
[07:36] <mcsd> elias85: if you look up LAME's entry in Wikipedia it list soundjuicer as compatible software with LAME
[07:37] <elias85> mcsd : why is so complicated to rip a cd to mp3? isnt there any programs to install and do your job?
[07:37] <mcsd> patent infrigment likely
[07:37] <Badpenguin86> Why do you want mp3? ogg is better
[07:37] <jerryrighter> benn926747 it works now but for some reason whne i do flash player it goes to onboard i want the onboard totally shut down
[07:37] <cellofellow> benn92647: that's weird. THe package is ntp and is in Main, so it should be available.
[07:38] <elias85> Badpenguin86: because mp3 plays on all players
[07:38] <jerryrighter> benn92647*
[07:38] <cellofellow> elias85: you mean software or hardware players?
[07:38] <benn92647> cellofellow:what?
[07:38] <Badpenguin86> I have tried open arena and glest and I just get a black screen when i try to play it. Nvidia restricted drivers
[07:38] <cellofellow> benn92647: you the one with time problems, right?
[07:39] <cellofellow> Badpenguin86: OpenArena works here on nvidia legacy.
[07:39] <MrObvious> I need mp3s too.
[07:39] <benn92647> jerryrighter: but you didnt see it
[07:39] <elias85> cellofellow: hardware players:) well any mp3 encoders with VBR ?
[07:39] <MrObvious> !mp3

[07:39] <Mrowkojad> Hello
[07:40] <mcsd> LAME does VBR
[07:40] <jerryrighter> yes benn92647 but whne i go to a web site with flash it goes to the onboard one but it works with everything else
[07:40] <sn> Has any 1 seen the new ubuntu screen shots
[07:40] <cellofellow> benn92647: I know what it is. You've already got NTP you just need to set it up. Tell the Date and Time utility to Synchronize with net.
[07:40] <benn92647> jerryrighter: what build are you using?
[07:41] <serenityUK> sn, im running gutsy gibbon testing as my main desktop lol
[07:41] <elias85> mcsd: i should only install lame?
[07:41] <gvsa123> sn: i tried it also
[07:41] <jerryrighter> hold on benn92647 let me see
[07:41] <gvsa123> sn: but i'm back with fiesty... hehe
[07:41] <Mrowkojad> :] 
[07:41] <serenityUK> sn, compiz fusion built in!
[07:41] <gvsa123> sn: desktop search too
[07:42] <ironmatar> ubuntu seems to have set everything up   but im pretty shure the mb drivers get wiped when you format  and the video drivers,   so how do i determine what is installed driver wise and what isent
[07:42] <mcsd> elias85: I believe and I can be wrong, haven't tried; LAME I believe is a plugin to other pieces of software like soundjuicer
[07:42] <elias85> mcsd: aham
[07:42] <cellofellow> elias85: mcsd: it's a library for encoding in MP3, simple.
[07:42] <serenityUK> sorry JCDG my nick isn't registered I can't private chat

[07:42] <sparkling> hi al
[07:42] <sparkling> all
[07:43] <JCDG> serenityUK ok, don't worry, tell about it here, have you had a lot of problems?
[07:43] <jimmy_dean> is moving a user account (the login credentials only, username, password) from a Red Hat Linux box to an Ubuntu box as easy as copying the entry for the user in /etc/passwd and their accompanying shadow password in /etc/shadow?
[07:44] <Badpenguin86> Installing doom3 cannot find pak003.pk4 or pakoo4.pk4?
[07:44] <serenityUK> Badpenguin86, look in   base/pak003.pk4
[07:44] <sid> How can I see the device ID for my built-in camera on my laptop. It's built-in to the LCD
[07:44] <bish0p|h> my gnome-terminal has developed a problem after I setup dual head (only change i've made to the system) -- it now just crashes when i try to load it up.. i've been forced to use xterm.  anybody seen this behavior before?
[07:44] <benn92647> jerryrighter: it's actually an easy fix..mrobvious can probably tell youthe folder to go in to to set he DSP to"aoss", I bet right now it is set to "none" can you ask him to direct you to the right folder?
[07:44] <cellofellow> jimmy_dean: the /etc/passwd line should be fine. the shado line may be different.
[07:44] <MrObvious> Me? Huh
[07:45] <sparkling> at home i use an lcd monitor 17'' and i have setted up resolution to 1280x1024
[07:45] <sparkling> sometimes i go out with my barbone and i use an old crt monitor 15''
[07:45] <sparkling> but when i connect monitor to pc and i start ubuntu the screen become black and i don't see anything
[07:45] <sparkling> if i connect the pc to a new monitor more than 15'' i see all becouse the resolution it always 1280
[07:45] <sparkling> is it possibile to autodeteect monitor connected and change automatically the resolution to a lower if the monitor doesn't support the current resolution?
[07:45] <sparkling> for example the crt 15'' support as max 1024x768...
[07:45] <Pici> sid: lspci, lspnp, lsusb
[07:45] <jimmy_dean> cellofellow, ok, is there a good way to migrate accounts from Linux box to Linux box?
[07:45] <sparkling> can feisty autodetect that the crt support only this resolution and automatically change it to 1024x768?
[07:45] <Pici> !enter | sparkling

[07:46] <jerryrighter> mrObvious can u tell me what folder to go into to set the DSP to aoss ?

[07:49] <JeevesMoss> sparkling:  ok, I added "DNS <foo> and DNS2 <foo>" to my interfaces file, and changed the nameservers from the ones that my ISP (local to me) had to "192.168.3.1, 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2" in the resolv.conf file.  then I forced a reboot.  the box is static, and now I can't ping the IP
[07:49] <cellofellow> Pici: mine is tty4.
[07:49] <sparkling> Anlar, how i can see if the dpms is on?
[07:49] <c00i90wn> even though I use feisty :S
[07:49] <Pici> cellofellow: 'usually' :)
[07:49] <serenityUK> JCDG, compizfusion AppAmour Xorg7.3 gnome 2.20 should be good, plus new config such as appearance, screen res, multimedia
[07:49] <cellofellow> Pici: granted, I use startx instead of gdm.
[07:49] <Pici> !gutsy | c00i90wn
[07:49] <ubotu> c00i90wn: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[07:49] <benn92647> jerryrighter: hate to leave you hanging like that but forthe life of me I cant remeber the folder....best people to ask are pricey,pricechild,gravemind,nickrud or indygunfreak...if you can get one of them they will know
[07:50] <ironmatar> why is ubuntu changeing versions so fast? it looks like fiesty has onle been out les than a year  and im going to have to change everything in les than 2 monthes????
[07:50] <staar2> what is mount point ?
[07:50] <PP188> Pici, cellofellow, here, shows: User/TTY/Date: pedro    :0           2007-08-23 08:32
[07:50] <JCDG> serenityUK i wanted to install it, but maybe i'll wait for the release, have you a lot of time using ubuntu/linux?
[07:50] <sparkling> JeevesMoss, i use a router...i configured all informations about connection in router...then in ubuntu i configured a static ip lan, with 192.168.0.2, and 192.168.0.1 for the gateway/primary dns and it works
[07:50] <openedu> I have an Ubuntu installation that is failing to load all the way.  i get kicked into a shell with 'initramfs>" and don't know what to do
[07:50] <c00i90wn> Pici: thanks :)
[07:51] <finalbeta> ironmatar: you don't have to anything
[07:51] <Anlar> sparkling: it's on by default
[07:51] <gvsa123> sn: what i like about it is that the live cd installs well on my system. i was never successful with installing fiesty from the disc. i always had to install edgy, and then upgrade from the server
[07:51] <openedu> this is after I put the root file system onto an MD Raid-1 array
[07:51] <serenityUK> JCDG, it's my main system.  windows only for games now and again
[07:51] <staar2> hello i dont know how to use nfts-3g ?
[07:51] <PriceChild> ironmatar, you don't have to change for 18 months, or 3-5 years if using dapper
[07:51] <staar2> what is mount point ?
[07:51] <JeevesMoss> sparkling:  well, I was figuring with a static, it should be accessable internally even if the DNS is screwed up.  but after the reboot, I can't get ANYTHING to work
[07:51] <LadyNikon> hey
[07:51] <PriceChild> ironmatar, a new version appears every 6 months
[07:51] <Pici> PP188: :0 is X
[07:51] <LadyNikon> is there a program like winscp for linux?
[07:51] <jbird> Hello
[07:51] <jaxt0r> I have a fresh Fiesty install on a new system but I don't see the Ubuntu boot logo... I just get a blank screen until the login screen comes up.  Same thing on the Live CD.  The big issue is that I'm trying to install nVidia drivers and when Xorg bails out my monitor stays blank and I have to reboot.  I also tried booting with vga=normal, no luck.  Any ideas?
[07:51] <sparkling> Anlar, and with the dpms should detect the monitor and change automatically the resolution?
[07:51] <JCDG> jjajajaja, i support you, how much time have you been using linux?
[07:51] <PP188> Pici: ah ok.. thanks..

[07:53] <jbird> so I need wine to install games
[07:53] <JCDG> anyone
[07:53] <cwh> Hello! I just installed Banshee to use with my Ipod! It works great, but I would like banshee to automatically start when I plug in my ipod, instead of Music Player. How is this done?
[07:53] <serenityUK> JCDG, well first was redhat 4.2 i think in 96 but no internet just from magazine cd, then again around 1999-2000, then seriously since 2005
[07:53] <gvsa123> jbird: only if you the game isn't ported for linux...
[07:54] <MOTZ> wie kann ma sicherheitspasswort abfrage ausschalten
[07:54] <crackerbox> pici no one is talking there
[07:54] <serenityUK> JCDG, you dont' know how hard it was before broadband internet
[07:54] <staar2> i dont know how to use nfts-3g under gnome ?
[07:54] <Dougie> whats a good easy to use cmd line irc client?
[07:54] <Pici> crackerbox: be patient.
[07:54] <Pici> Dougie: irssi
[07:54] <fyrestrtr> Dougie: irssi
[07:54] <jetscreamer> #/dev/hda1      /mnt            ntfs-3g noauto,users,noexec,rw,umask=022,fmask=0113,dmask=002,uid=1000,gid=1000,nls=utf8        0 0
[07:54] <JCDG> jaja, yeah i know i used dialog at 56Kbps
[07:54] <jetscreamer> staar2: ^^
[07:54] <Dougie> is it already built into ubuntu?
[07:54] <jbird> the game doesn't run when I click on install
[07:54] <sn> can any 1 help i have a trust web came how do i get it 2 work on ubuntu thanks
[07:55] <LadyNikon> !wine
[07:55] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[07:55] <Pici> Dougie: I dont believe so.
[07:55] <LadyNikon> jbird: see above
[07:55] <Pici> Dougie: Its in the repos though,.
[07:55] <gnomefreak> Dougie: you have to install it now
[07:55] <Dougie> ok thanks
[07:55] <MOTZ> so  an emu?
[07:55] <benn92647> staar2: click applications look under system tools and make sure you have the partion or drives mouned, then it is a simple click to be able to write to them
[07:55] <gnomefreak> used to come with ubuntu dapper and edgy i believe
[07:55] <gvsa123> jbird: maybe that's because it wasn't made for linux. and that's where wine comes in.
[07:55] <LadyNikon> Anyone know of a program that runs in linux that similar to winscp?
[07:56] <jbird> so after I install wine I will be able to install games
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> LadyNikon: scp
[07:56] <ironmatar> how to list what drivers are installed on system?
[07:56] <LadyNikon> fyrestrtr: is that a gui?
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> ironmatar: lsmod
[07:56] <cwh> Hello! I just installed Banshee to use with my Ipod! It works great, but I would like banshee to automatically start when I plug in my ipod, instead of Music Player. How is this done?
[07:56] <ryanakca> I have a partition in an lvm. I'm wondering if it's possible to make that partition/volume smaller, so as to create a new one?
[07:56] <ironmatar> in terminal fyre?
[07:56] <gvsa123> jbird: sometimes yes, sometimes no. i don't think it works well for everything. i only tried it on keepass and... i forgot the other.
[07:56] <fyrestrtr> ironmatar: yes
[07:57] <staar2> i dont got tools  for partitation
[07:57] <JCDG> use gparted
[07:57] <fsdsa> someone can help me wqith cacti. i have a problem wrote; ERROR: opening '/root/cacti/rra/localhost_load_1min_5.rrd': No such file or directory
[07:57] <JCDG> you have it  in your live cd
[07:57] <gvsa123> jbird: it will appear as a menu entry where everything should be intuitive.... i think.. :)
[07:57] <Bucketface> Hello.
[07:57] <ryanakca> jbird: you're probably better off with cedega if you want to play win games on linux
[07:57] <fyrestrtr> LadyNikon: you can add a new scp location from nautilus in gnome. Open any file manager window, then click Go, then Network.
[07:57] <Bucketface> May I have a little bit of fast help :D?
[07:58] <jbird> can I install wine from add/remove ap[plications
[07:58] <Kayla> my sound wont work???
[07:58] <JCDG> serenityuk jaaja, but with windows...my first game was prince of persia
[07:58] <serenityUK> JCDG, that was dos lol
[07:58] <gvsa123> jbird: not sure if it's there, but i know i installed it from synaptics
[07:58] <jbird> what is synaptics
[07:58] <benn92647> staar2: make sure to right click on the partion in places>computer..then highlight the drive and then right click from there select mount..it should then appear as mounted after that go to applications system tools and then click write to drive
[07:59] <gvsa123> why do we have add/remove and synaptics both at the same time by the way?
[07:59] <benn92647> lol
[07:59] <PriceChild> gvsa123, add/remove is "nicer" for beginners... doesn't show the actual package names etc.
[07:59] <JCDG> jajaja, yeah, i used windows 3.1 as mi fisrt OS, i didn't know la meirda i had, jajaj
[07:59] <gvsa123> plus we also have apt-get and aptitude, and sometimes people install automatix?
[07:59] <cwh> Hello! I just installed Banshee to use with my Ipod! It works great, but I would like banshee to automatically start when I plug in my ipod, instead of Music Player. How is this done?
[07:59] <PriceChild> !automatix | gvsa123
[07:59] <ubotu> gvsa123: 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)
[07:59] <gvsa123> PriceChild: ok. i'll stick with synaptics
[08:00] <PriceChild> gvsa123, synaptic gives you loads more options like pinning etc.
[08:00] <serenityUK> JCDG, ha i was 8bit on amstrad and bbc in the 1980s, then amiga in the 90s
[08:00] <JCDG> serenity did you register?
[08:00] <bruenig> gvsa123, apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, add/remove, auto-codec, clearly it is easier to overwhelm with 5 package managment devices
[08:00] <gvsa123> PriceChild: pinning... ?
[08:00] <Bucketface> So I'll go ahead!
[08:00] <Bucketface> Anyway...

[08:00] <staar2> hm there is only unmount only then it should be mounted right ?
[08:00] <Bucketface> They're the stats in case that's important
[08:00] <JCDG> jajajaaj, you seemed to be an expert in OS
[08:01] <aricz> c64 \o/
[08:01] <Bucketface> But ya, I was using the liveCD and I thought "Hmm, it says some usb broadband modems don't work, it's the only means of internet I have so I better try it"
[08:01] <cwh> I found the answer to my ipod question, thanks. :)
[08:01] <benn92647> staar2: yes
[08:01] <Bucketface> The thing wasn't detected
[08:01] <Bucketface> at all
[08:01] <Pici> !enter | Bucketface
[08:01] <ubotu> Bucketface: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:01] <serenityUK> JCDG, to be honest the only reason I have games is because my PC is new and I wanted to use the 8800GTS for cool stuff, i don't really play them much just use the internet on linux..
[08:02] <Bucketface> o.
[08:02] <Badpenguin86> Run open arena...get black screen. nvidia restricted drivers
[08:02] <lespuch> wenassss
[08:02] <benn92647> staar2: now does the partion show on your desktop?
[08:02] <jbird> Anyone want to help me install wine
[08:02] <ryanakca> !wine | jbird
[08:02] <ubotu> jbird: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[08:02] <PriceChild> jbird, "sudo apt-get install wine" done
[08:02] <staar2> yes
[08:02] <gvsa123> bruenig: and all of those have to be present? isn't it a little redundant?
[08:02] <JCDG> ah, ok, so, for what i see you live in the Uk, is there a lot os linux/ubuntu users?
[08:02] <staar2> but i cant write there anything
[08:03] <Bucketface> So anyway, usb broadband modem, wasn't detected. However, a regular USB flashdrive was recognised and I could open it and stuff... How do I get my usb broadband modem to work! It's kinda important.
[08:03] <lespuch> buenass
[08:03] <Pici> Bucketface: DSL?
[08:03] <jbird> price says command not found
[08:03] <GIn> Bucketface, I would search google first
[08:03] <bruenig> gvsa123, of course not :P, you mistake the phrase unnecessarily redundant and complex for, simpler
[08:03] <bruenig> gvsa123, happens to the best of us
[08:03] <PriceChild> jbird, don't use the "s
[08:03] <Pici> !dsl > Bucketface (Please see the private messsage from ubotu)

[08:04] <Pici> !offtopic | JCDG serenityUK
[08:04] <staar2> could anyone help me ?
[08:04] <ubotu> JCDG serenityUK: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[08:04] <PriceChild> Bucketface, http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/ i think
[08:04] <PriceChild> jaxt0r, you'll need to install the nvidia drivers manually
[08:04] <benn92647> staar2: its mounted now go to applications from your desktop toolbar,then go to system tools then you should be able to go to NTSF...from there and click on it it gives you an option to write to the available NTSF partions you have select read and write to drives

[08:05] <Azzco> Help? libfreetype6 is broken and apt wants to uninstall (most of) my system
[08:05] <gvsa123> bruenig: :) i never did touch add/remove... never installed via the terminal... i just thought why have different ways of doing the same thing... oh well...

[08:07] <gvsa123> jbird: then you have to mount it first.
[08:07] <bullgard4> jbird: Be more precise and repeat your question.
[08:07] <PriceChild> figjam, please pastebin the output of lspci
[08:07] <jaxt0r> Price: tried, same result. :-/  the installed system does the same thing as the live disc.  It's like the framebuffer doesn't work but vga=normal in Grub doesn't fix it.
[08:07] <staar2> it shows me thats unmounted
[08:07] <jbird> how do you mount
[08:07] <PriceChild> jaxt0r, I'm not sure sorry
[08:07] <PriceChild> jbird, how are you trying to mount, where do you get that error?

[08:25] <tj__> can some 1 help me to get into the GUI
[08:25] <jbird> windows yes linux no
[08:25] <graulich> whenever I start a movie on movie player it makes a tiny short sound (the first sound of that movie) then shuts down. what do I do?
[08:26] <SlimeyPete> jbird: hmm, odd. Do other CDs work under Linux?
[08:26] <tj__> i get a videocard error tells me to edit xserver-xorg
[08:26] <jbird> how do I open a CD to use it?
[08:26] <mcsd> jbird: when was the last time you read that cd under windows
[08:26] <jbird> any music cd works
[08:26] <jbird> just this morning. it works fine
[08:26] <vlt> Hello. Afer an upgrade from Edgy to Feisty the system only boots to runlevel "unknown". I have to run `telinit 3` (sic!) to run all the daemons listed in /etc/rc3.d/ -- `telinit 2` leads to "unknown", too. apt-get dist-upgrade returns "0 ..., 0 ..., 0 ..., 0 ..." so everything should be in a proper state. Any idea which pkg to fix and how?
[08:26] <SlimeyPete> jbird: what about data CDs? They are read in a different way from music CDs.
[08:27] <jbird> any data cd says unable to mount media
[08:27] <gvsa123> hmmm,....
[08:27] <tj__> Can some 1 help me get into the GUI, i cant get in i configured the xserver-xorg and i installed nvidia drivers!.... can some 1 help me
[08:28] <SlimeyPete> jbird: hrm. It might be worth entering the model of your CD drive, and then your motherboard, into google to see if there are any known problems under Linux.
[08:28] <figjam> PriceChild: thanks, it seems to work now, heck knows why I struggled for 3 days!
[08:28] <tj__> Can some 1 help me get into the GUI, i cant get in i configured the xserver-xorg and i installed nvidia drivers!.... can some 1 help me
[08:28] <PriceChild> figjam, you learn something new every day :)
[08:28] <Pici> tj__: Are you getting an error?
[08:28] <jbird> lighton is my cdrom
[08:28] <PriceChild> figjam, that card should have been on the i810 driver by default thoguh... wierd that it wasn't
[08:28] <gvsa123> SlimeyPete: even if music cd's work?
[08:28] <picard_pwns_kirk> is there a place where I can get Ubuntu Studio lables?
[08:28] <jbird> liteon is my cdrom
[08:29] <figjam> PriceChild: i am hardly a n00b though (:
[08:29] <tj__> Pici yes i am... a blue screen tells me i needa reconfigure xerver-xorg
[08:29] <picard_pwns_kirk> is there a place where I can get Ubuntu Studio labels?
[08:29] <SlimeyPete> gvsa123: mmm. Music CDs can be read via the CD audio cable, rather than the IDE cable.
[08:29] <tj__> im using a cmd based irc right now
[08:29] <figjam> PriceChild: it was fun though, now i can play with the rest
[08:29] <figjam> hey ciaron (:
[08:29] <PriceChild> figjam, oh we're all newbs deep down.
[08:29] <figjam> hehe
[08:29] <gvsa123> SlimeyPete: i see
[08:29] <Pici> tj__: usually that screen has a place where you can see a detailed report, does that screen have any errors that look well, like errors? Usually denoted with (EE)
[08:30] <jbird> why can I not install anything
[08:30] <SlimeyPete> gvsa123: they *can* (and often are) read via the IDE cable too of course, but not always - depends on the PC.
[08:30] <gvsa123> SlimeyPete: different routes for different kinds of data?
[08:30] <PriceChild> jbird,We don't know.
[08:30] <figjam> it is just with the new Vostro, gutsy is about the only one that has drivers for it
[08:30] <graulich> totem crashes half a second into any file I try to play. anyone know this problem?
[08:30] <PriceChild> jbird, maybe if you gave us the errors you are receiving we could help.
[08:30] <tj__> at first i got Vesa can not read V_Bios, Screen(s) Found, but none have usable configuration
[08:30] <gvsa123> jbird: maybe because you are trying to bring into linux what is supposed to stay in windows? :)
[08:30] <SlimeyPete> gvsa123: yeah. I think it's a relic from the days when PCs weren't fast enough to decode CD audio on the processor, so CD drives were designed to be able to pass the audio straight to the soundcard.
[08:31] <Dougie> tj_ join #dougie i don't think your getting my pm's
[08:31] <gvsa123> SlimeyPete: i see
[08:31] <tj__> yah im not im talking to someone right now i dunno how i would be able to exit either
[08:31] <mcsd> jbird: if you just put this box together maybe one of the IDE pins bent on the drive

[08:32] <graulich> *see
[08:33] <jbird> I know why unreal2004 is not working it is a DVD and I just have a cdrom
[08:33] <gvsa123> jbird: lol
[08:33] <sipior> graulich: we see you.
[08:33] <SlimeyPete> jbird: lol, oh right
[08:33] <Pici> jbird: That would do it.
[08:33] <graulich> thx sipior
[08:34] <SlimeyPete> jbird: ok, well if you go to the NWN website there is (or was, years ago) a way of downloading the linux version of the game
[08:34] <SlimeyPete> that should run fine, without wine
[08:34] <tj__> Pici you know how to fix my problem?
[08:34] <jbird> do I need an application to install games like diablo 2
[08:34] <lnx> there is program in ubuntu to view the weather is your town\area ?
[08:34] <ostannard> jbird: what error messages are you getting?
[08:34] <graulich> jbird, Wine is just great to install DII with.
[08:34] <MrObvious> crasher5: Try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#head-6524a0c56845e40dccd32676dad42830325e5707
[08:34] <Pici> tj__: I think Dougie wanted to see you about your issue in #dougie I assumed he was helping you.
[08:34] <sipior> lnx: there's a weather applet for gnome-panel
[08:34] <PriceChild> jbird, go to appdb.winehq.org and search there for the game to find out how to get wine working it. More help in #winehq
[08:35] <graulich> look it up on winehq.org
[08:35] <MrObvious> crasher5: Make sure you enable multiverse first.
[08:35] <SlimeyPete> jbird: I think you will need to use wine to install diablo. Check winehq.com - there is a compatibility database which will tell you whether it will work.
[08:35] <MrObvious> !multiverse
[08:35] <jbird> okay
[08:35] <tj__> yah he recommened something i already tried
[08:35] <Dougie> Pici, yeah he's my friend i told him to go here so he doesn't have to keep rebooting into windows :)

[08:36] <tj__> Nvidia GeForce4
[08:36] <sipior> lnx: you'd have to find the configuration file that holds the weather station info, and modify it. you might see if there's a maintainer for the applet, and send off an email about the best way to do this.
[08:37] <Dougie> tj_ you have to run the nvidia-xconfig script
[08:37] <Dougie> tj_ just type it and hit enter
[08:37] <Pici> tj__: I think you need the nvidia-glx-legacy package for that
[08:37] <tj__> i downloaded that
[08:37] <Dougie> nah he doesn't need legacy
[08:37] <Dougie> just glx
[08:37] <_imran_> Help!compiz-fusion not working...its set up in sessions to start when i log in and it was working fine, but now it isnt...can anyone help?] 
[08:37] <ostannard> MortarMan: is your problem physically connecting the speakers to your computer? if so, this is the wrong place to ask
[08:38] <tj__> how do i run?
[08:38] <lnx> sipior , its sounds "long" . . . there are other software that can do it ?
[08:38] <Dougie> tj, go back to the other channel you gotta do more then just install the package
[08:38] <JeevesMoss> who in here is a wiz with network configs?
[08:38] <tj__> kay

[08:39] <Dougie> JeevesMoss, nope
[08:39] <ostannard> if you can play sound through normal speakers or headphones then you only need the physical connection, no software needs changing
[08:39] <ironmatar> do you have to run the xorg  edit for any Nvidia cards

[08:42] <sparrw> Seveas: same issue above or below
[08:42] <jbird> I am installing diablo 2
[08:42] <serenityUK> _imran_, i thought you couldnt log in because of compiz?
[08:42] <ostannard> MortarMan: you cannot do that, the circuitry on the sound card is only designed to do one thing per socket
[08:42] <figjam> PriceChild: actually X croaks with the i810 driver, the experimental intel one seems to work
[08:42] <PriceChild> figjam, its all good :P

[08:43] <PriceChild> tunedout, yes
[08:43] <amr> hey all
[08:43] <figjam> cool
[08:43] <ostannard> MortarMan: the subwoofer should have connections for normal speakers, or you need an amplifier/some sort of splitter/filter to connect them all
[08:43] <serenityUK> tunedout, next version out in october
[08:43] <Seveas> sparrw, and I spotted your mistake, it should be %admin ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/backlight

[08:44] <Seveas> sparrw, iirc a list of usernames you can sudo to to run the command
[08:44] <tunedout> When the new version comes out, will I have to to do a fresh install of ubuntu or can I keep all my software and saved stuff. ?
[08:44] <serenityUK> tunedout, you can uprade easily
[08:44] <_imran_> serenityUK, no, i cant get compiz to work
[08:45] <staar2> i dont know how to use windows partitaion (beginner) ?
[08:45] <MortarMan> ostannard : i have connection for normal speakers (jack) but i have to have two jacks!! one for high frequency speakr and one for low frequency speaker.  ehm , i have realtek ac97 and in winxp ac97 manager i can do that.
[08:45] <PriceChild> tunedout, you will be able to follow !upgrade to upgrade to gutsy

[08:45] <Seveas> no
[08:46] <sparrw> ok, then its still not working  :(

[08:54] <STixx> i downloaded americas army..and when i run the program it tells me this " extraction failed..signal caught, cleaning up....press return to close this window"...What do i do?
[08:54] <pramz> amr checking
[08:54] <Pici> JeevesMoss: route add default gw <gatewayaddress>
[08:54] <JeevesMoss> Pici:  where am I adding that?  the resolv.conf file?
[08:54] <amr> and this is link to chipset vendor http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
[08:54] <Rudd-O> hi guys
[08:54] <Pici> JeevesMoss: Default gateway is usually your router
[08:54] <dark> what do you want to do? a partition or try to move one that exist
[08:54] <Rudd-O> quick question: how do I disable APT downloading several files from several servers at the same time?
[08:54] <Pici> JeevesMoss: No, on the shell.
[08:54] <sparrw> Seveas: sure, gimme a minute
[08:54] <SunWuKung> ACTION gives sparrw
[08:54] <Pici> JeevesMoss: with sudo of course.
[08:55] <Rudd-O> hello?
[08:55] <Pici> SunWuKung: why are you doing that again?
[08:55] <JeevesMoss> Pici:  sorry, I'm a n00b when it comes to this kind of networking.  what is the syntax again?
[08:55] <Pici> JeevesMoss: route add default gw <gatewayaddress>
[08:56] <Dougie> Pici, is there a log for gnome? like the booting he got an error about sound something or other might not work
[08:56] <sparrw> Seveas: aha, typo!  my bad
[08:56] <Pici> Dougie: For gnome or xorg?
[08:56] <Dougie> Pici, he said it was a gnome error
[08:56] <Rudd-O> GNOME does not log anything
[08:56] <ironmatar> all nvidia drivers need to have xorg modified?
[08:56] <JeevesMoss> pici:  http://pastebin.com/d782e94e2
[08:57] <Rudd-O> but you might find a file named .xsession-errors in your home directory which may contain the error output of applications started under your session
[08:57] <Dougie> Pici, ok this is the error "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon"
[08:57] <Kopfgeldjaeger> !learn test as Test if everybody may edit this.
[08:57] <Pici> Dougie: I've heard that error before, but I honestly dont know what the fix is.
[08:57] <Dougie> Pici, I'll search the forums

[08:58] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[08:58] <STixx> i downloaded americas army..and when i run the program it tells me this " extraction failed..signal caught, cleaning up....press return to close this window"...What do i do?
[08:58] <killerham> hi guys. I've just tried installing ubuntu, first time. Booted up the DVD, the 'loading' animation came up, and then I reach a blank screen. Core2 Duo 6600, 8800GTS if that helps
[08:58] <JeevesMoss> pici:http://pastebin.com/d2e969d08
[08:59] <EvaLuaTe> CPU load averages	0.00 (1 min) 0.08 (5 mins) 0.13 (15 mins), what does 0.08 mean ? 8% ?
[08:59] <PriceChild> STixx, there isn't an aa client for linux anymore...
[08:59] <Kortalh> Does anyone know if there's a way to get my laptop to hibernate? It's a Sony Vaio PCG-FRV37, and apparently it doesn't support APM... is there anything I can do?
[08:59] <Pici> JeevesMoss: Ahh.. Thats the issue.
[08:59] <STixx> priceChild...what?
[08:59] <JeevesMoss> pici:  how do I fix it?
[08:59] <serenityUK> killerham, did you try the safe graphics mode menu option?
[08:59] <PriceChild> STixx, americas army ended linux support some time ago.
[08:59] <JeevesMoss> pici:  I'd REALY like to get ahead of this so I can get on with getting the rest of it set up.  as I said, I've never interfaced a linux box to the net before.
[09:00] <killerham> yes, that was even worse :O the PC speaker started going crazy once the animation finished

[09:03] <STixx> pricechild..correct..so it wont work then ..or what?
[09:03] <serenityUK> killerham, only trouble was my IDE drive but we probably have differnt motherboards
[09:04] <PriceChild> STixx, you won't be able to play on the internet servers... and 2.5 is reeeally old isn't it?
[09:04] <STixx> pricechild..to be honest i have no idea..im 16..and just wanted to play the game..and i downloaded it..

[09:05] <PriceChild> STixx, if you really want to play that game, i'd suggest windows. There are lots of great first person shooters on linux though like tremulous, enemy territory, lots of others... that i don't know :)
[09:05] <STixx> pricechild..where would i find those?
[09:06] <ironmatar> sigh   Do all nvidia drivers need to be installed with the modifid xorg?
[09:06] <PriceChild> STixx, sudo apt-get install tremulous

[09:08] <ubotu> imranf: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[09:08] <J-_> Counter Strike also works with wine
[09:08] <serenityUK> imranf, sorry I can't do pm because my nick isn't registered
[09:08] <imranf> ok no problem
[09:09] <STixx> serenityuk....pricechild..thank you both.!..gotta love Ubuntu!..
[09:09] <serenityUK> did you fix compiz?
[09:09] <imranf> "sudo apt-get remove compiz" removed the desktop effects package..
[09:09] <imranf> but I am still getting the white screen after logging in..
[09:10] <lnx> how i can clear alt+f2 ?
[09:10] <imranf> how to boot ubuntu in verbose mode, so I can say NO to effects package loader..?
[09:11] <serenityUK> imranf, hmm. maybe try create another user account and see if it can log in.. then you will know if it a driver issue or a setting on your desktop
[09:12] <imranf> the Live CD runs fine.. it is happening after "I chose to run desktop effects"
[09:12] <imranf> I can't create new user without GUI
[09:13] <imranf> u know the terminal way?
[09:13] <serenityUK> sudo adduser someone

[09:15] <ironmatar> where do i find the  instructions for installing nvida drivers  the one guide i tried is a 404 error
[09:15] <JeevesMoss> can anyone give me a hand with configuring my routes?

[09:16] <lnx> how i can restart "run command" ( delete all the command that have been done ) ?
[09:16] <ironmatar> new install tsc?
[09:16] <Pici> JeevesMoss: I'm here again, sorry about that my irc client was really lagging
[09:16] <frojnd> how can I install .deb file?
[09:16] <Faust-C> is there a ubuntu server channel ?
[09:16] <Pici> JeevesMoss: Do you know the IP of your router?
[09:16] <jrib> frojnd: what are you installing?
[09:17] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  did you download from the nvidia website?
[09:17] <imranf> Thanx serenity, I'm going to give it a try now.
[09:17] <Faust-C> anyone have exp w/ nfs
[09:17] <frojnd> jrib: gbtsco (bluetooth thing)
[09:17] <bullgard4> frojnd: Use the program Synaptic.
[09:17] <frojnd> in commandline?
[09:17] <ironmatar> i have the vid card cd right in front of me
[09:17] <jrib> frojnd: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[09:17] <JeevesMoss> pici:  yes.  I can now log on to SSH remotly.  The router's IP is 192.168.3.1
[09:17] <OntzA> nice, now my SVN versions of mplayer and ffmpeg are pinned :)
[09:17] <lmosher> My secure wireless connection as school was a pain to set up awhile ago.. I had to set up a wpa_supplicant.conf to use WPA-EAP, CCMP TKIP, and eap=TTLS. I also had to provide a certificate and a subject match with auth=PAP. Is there a graphical and/or easier to use wireless tool that can handle these settings?
[09:17] <frojnd> jrib: thanx
[09:17] <OntzA> thanks again PriceChild
[09:18] <Faust-C> jrib: how would i search for a pkg via apt-get ?
[09:18] <john_doe> how do I see the names of the caracters I can bind to key with xmodmap?
[09:18] <Pici> JeevesMoss: try: `sudo route add default gw 192.168.3.1`
[09:18] <jrib> !apt > Faust-C (see the private message from ubotu)
[09:18] <john_doe> Faust-C: apt-cache search
[09:18] <Faust-C> jrib: ty
[09:18] <ironmatar> i havent dloaded andything for driver yet either
[09:18] <John1> need help addressing a USB external floppy disk drive.
[09:18] <Scunizi> Faust-C, if your on the command line try "aptitude" graphical text installer
[09:18] <JeevesMoss> pici:  it says it allready exists.  I can get out to the net, but is is VERY slow, and it won't resolve most things.
[09:19] <dxdt> Faust-C: aptitude search will make the output more readable.  Try to use aptitude more than apt-get. Apt-get was never actually meant to be used directly which is why it is a little messy.
[09:19] <serenityUK> ironmatar, if you have a new card you should get the latest from the website, otherwise use the ubuntu restriced driver.. the cd's are always old
[09:19] <lmosher> Can anyone help with accessing a  wireless network with WPA-EAP security?
[09:19] <Faust-C> dxdt: o i c
[09:19] <Faust-C> dxdt: yeah im playing around w/ server edition
[09:19] <Faust-C> dont want nothing aside from what i need
[09:19] <ironmatar> ok im looking for the instructions on how to set up the nvida driver
[09:20] <dxdt> Faust-C: that is fine, you can still use aptitude--it is command line as well.  Just slightly nicer and such.
[09:20] <dxdt> ironmatar: they are everywhere
[09:20] <Scunizi> Faust-C, you can always apt-get install xubuntu-desktop for a lightweight gui then uninstall it.
[09:20] <Faust-C> Scunizi: i might do that
[09:20] <Vlet> So anyone know what the policy is for editing ubuntuguide.org?
[09:20] <ironmatar> thereseems to be diffrent methods people are useing
[09:20] <da1> hey, i need help
[09:20] <Seveas> hi da1 :)
[09:20] <Scunizi> Faust-C, I've done that and access the gui via ssh... it's not real pretty but works.
[09:20] <serenityUK> ironmatar which card do you have?
[09:21] <Seveas> what's the problem?
[09:21] <ironmatar> and im a little confuses due to linux being a new os to me
[09:21] <john_doe> how do I see the names of the caracters I can bind to key with xmodmap?
[09:21] <PriceChild> !nvidia | ironmatar
[09:21] <ubotu> ironmatar: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:21] <PriceChild> ironmatar, (btw what card do you have?)
[09:21] <JeevesMoss> pici:  ok, I think I figured out why it was so slow (I had it pointing to the wrong name server to start with, so I pointed it to a web baised name server), but now I can't get apache2 to start
[09:21] <lmosher> Can anyone help with accessing a  wireless network with WPA-EAP security?
[09:21] <da1> i just set up ubunto, and i think i may have accidentally gotten rid of windows... which i didn't want to do, i wanted to have the option to go from one to the other... is there anyway i can get this fixed?
[09:21] <kane77> can I configure the terminal to be slihtly blurred when transparent (in compiz)?
[09:22] <ironmatar> gygbyte 8500gt fanless
[09:22] <Scunizi> da1, was the windows version Vista?
[09:22] <ironmatar> sorry not a typist
[09:22] <da1> no, it was XP
[09:22] <jorgp> how do I disable acpi on boot from a feisty cd?
[09:22] <Scunizi> da1, and do you have more than one drive in the machine?
[09:22] <PriceChild> ironmatar, ok well you're going to have to install the drivers manually rfom nvidia.com sorry. Its too new to be supported by Feisty. It will be supported in october in gutsy
[09:22] <da1> i don't know
[09:22] <OntzA> dal you got lucky, getting rid of windows is something awesome ;)
[09:22] <serenityUK> ironmatar, you should use the website for 8seris modern cards ill get the link for you
[09:23] <Pici> JeevesMoss: My connection is flaking out.
[09:23] <da1> not when my parents are pissed off
[09:23] <da1> lol

[09:23] <ironmatar> thank you
[09:23] <Pici> JeevesMoss: do: `sudo route delete default` then the command I said before.
[09:23] <JeevesMoss> pici?  lol, awww.  welcome to my world.  anyways, I can't get apache to start.
[09:24] <da1> but is there any way to bring windows back?
[09:24] <serenityUK> ironmatar, let me know when you have it i'll tell you how to install
[09:24] <ironmatar> thank you
[09:24] <OntzA> dal: what exactly have you done?
[09:24] <OntzA> I mean, can you still see the XP partition?
[09:24] <tunedout> skeet
[09:24] <da1> no
[09:24] <lnx> how i can clear all the command that i have done ? (alt+f2) ?
[09:25] <ironmatar> not afraid of doing things with ubunto but id rather not do another 2 hr install atm
[09:25] <jrib> john_doe: 'man xmodmap' should mention the two files.  I don't remember them offhand, but let me know if you can't find them
[09:25] <RichiH> i need the firmware for a broadcom 4311
[09:25] <da1> i think i messed up with the partition in the install...
[09:25] <RichiH> is there a ubuntu package for that?
[09:25] <da1> but is there anyway to get it back
[09:25] <da1> ?
[09:25] <ironmatar> ok i have it serenityUK
[09:25] <john_doe> jrib: thanks!
[09:25] <OntzA> well it depends on what happened
[09:26] <da1> ok...
[09:26] <da1> umm
[09:26] <OntzA> if you erased the XP partition and then installed ubuntu on top of it...
[09:26] <Scunizi> da1, do you get the grub menu on startup?
[09:26] <da1> see i think i might have done theat by accident
[09:26] <ubuntu_> hi all
[09:26] <Legendre> hi hi.. which repo contains ndiswrapper-utils-1.8 ?
[09:26] <da1> grub menu? i'm not sure
[09:26] <serenityUK> ironmatar, have you tried to install the ubuntu restricted drivers before? we need to remove them first
[09:26] <da1> can you describe?
[09:26] <Scunizi> da1, is it a store bought machine like a dell?
[09:27] <da1> ya
[09:27] <ironmatar> i have not insalled any vido drivers on this install at all yet
[09:27] <serenityUK> ok
[09:27] <ironmatar> iv been doign research
[09:27] <Scunizi> da1, ok.. dell has a hidden partition on the drive accessable with a function key on boot.  It will let you reinstall windows.
[09:27] <da1> awesome... how do it get to that?
[09:27] <JeevesMoss> pici:  ok, sorry, I lost the connection to my box there for a sec.  So, ideas on this apache problem?
[09:27] <tonyyarusso> !info ndiswrapper-utils-1.8
[09:27] <ubotu> Package ndiswrapper-utils-1.8 does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[09:28] <serenityUK> ironmatar, first install the compiler to setup... open a Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type   sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:28] <Scunizi> da1, that is if you did erase that as well.. I think it's F2 on boot.  but you only have a second or two to hit it at the right time.
[09:28] <Legendre> ok, that kinda blows.. since the howto says I need it :)
[09:28] <OntzA> ehm da1, before doing anything, did you have any important information in the XP partition?
[09:28] <tonyyarusso> !info ndiswrapper-utils
[09:28] <ubotu> Package ndiswrapper-utils does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[09:28] <tonyyarusso> hrm
[09:28] <da1> well... we had pretty much everything on there
[09:28] <da1> :S
[09:28] <da1> F2... i did see that
[09:28] <OntzA> I ask this because doing that you will only recover a clean XP, not the data you had in it
[09:29] <Legendre> I"m going through a lot of BS trying to get a broadcom wifi working =/
[09:29] <da1> i think we'll be fine
[09:29] <Legendre> driver is installed, as is the module.. but the radio just isn't working
[09:29] <killerham> I'm not having much luck with install. It got to "starting gnome display.." and soemthing about starting cpsrvd. Then I got a black screen with an underscore in the top left, then nothing
[09:29] <da1> but on the F2 menu, i don't know where the reinstall windows is
[09:30] <killerham> I tried nosplash, deleted quiet, --vga=771
[09:30] <da1> but is there a chance of getting my old windows back?
[09:30] <Legendre> don't you run 'zztop' to reinstall windows from the dell save partition?
[09:30] <john_doe> jrib: No, it's not there. it mentions /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB but I don't have that file
[09:30] <killerham> I have 2 graphics cards, 1 nvidia 8800GTS, and one 7100GS
[09:30] <jrib> john_doe: do 'locate XKeysymDB', it's somewhere else
[09:30] <MarieK> can someone please help me upgrade my system?
[09:31] <PriceChild> MarieK, "upgrade" ?
[09:31] <frojnd> woohooo bluetooth works thanks to: http://www.stgraber.org/2007/05/18/bluetooth-headset-manager/

[09:32] <serenityUK> ironmatar, now you are going to have to quit the desktop and install from the command line.. so you might want to write things down
[09:32] <da1> OntzA? do you have my message?
[09:33] <ironmatar> ok
[09:33] <MarieK> no one can help?!
[09:33] <kane77> are there any gedit fans here? what does gedit use to select a syntax highlighting? I want to use the rhtml highlighting for .rhtml files, but it always selects html instead...

[09:34] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  to quit X  type    sudo  /etc/init.d/gdm stop    and to restart later type   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start     but don't do it yet lol
[09:34] <bruenig> kane77, file extension I thought
[09:34] <da1> i think i may have destroyed my windows unintentionally during the partition in the installation
[09:34] <xjkx> when i do sudo echo 1 > /proc/I-dont-remember/ip_forward it says permission denied, even though i have full sudo access on sudoers :<
[09:35] <PriceChild> xjkx, you can't pipe like that
[09:35] <PriceChild> xjkx, the "left" side gets sudo, but the "right" side doesn't.
[09:35] <jrib> xjkx: the redirection is done by your shell which only has your user's rights.  Instead, do echo 1 | sudo tee /blah/blah
[09:35] <makzy> does anyone here run novell's gnome-main-menu under gutsy? is there a way to restore the functionality lost through the feisty->gutsy upgrade (install software, configure printers, etc) manually?
[09:35] <OntzA> da1 I think we have to register to send pms
[09:35] <da1> oh
[09:35] <PriceChild> !gutsy | makzy
[09:35] <ubotu> makzy: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[09:35] <da1> then just help here?

[09:35] <da1> either way
[09:35] <ironmatar> ok i got that serenityUK
[09:35] <da1> :S
[09:36] <makzy> PriceChild: didn't ask for support... asked for a favor. :)
[09:36] <da1> i'm gonna restart and see if it works
[09:37] <makzy> oh, now I get it. sorry. :P
[09:37] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  now when you are in the command line change to where you saved the driver.. it should start you in the home directory...  type ls  to see where you are and cd to move around
[09:37] <MarieK> can someone help me fix GTK?! PLEASE!?
[09:37] <bruenig> pwd to see where you are
[09:37] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  to run it type:   sudo  sh NVIDIA.xxxxxxx.run
[09:37] <bruenig> !doesn't work | MarieK
[09:37] <ubotu> MarieK: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.
[09:37] <LaCtoSE> MarieK, what need doing?
[09:37] <ironmatar> files are auto dloaded to desktop so i can see them
[09:37] <OntzA> da1: wait
[09:37] <MarieK> i try to open it and it will not open
[09:38] <OntzA> don't use the Dell restore function yet
[09:38] <MarieK> it opens for a second and then closes
[09:38] <killerham> would having 2 graphics cards cause my problems on installation?
[09:38] <OntzA> first try to recover the data
[09:38] <LaCtoSE> MarieK, have you read the install guide?
[09:38] <xjkx> jrib:  echo 1 | sudo  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward (says command not found, of course :>)
[09:38] <MarieK> yes
[09:38] <bruenig> xjkx, sudo tee
[09:38] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  ok so you will probably have to type   cd Deesktop  to change to they dir... then type ls to see the NVIDIA file
[09:38] <phenom> dal.
[09:38] <kane77> bruenig, yep I thought so, but it just always does this... html instead of rhtml.. i have the propper mime type... so I'm not realy sure why that doesn't work..
[09:38] <bruenig> kane77, does it know rhtml?
[09:38] <phenom> dal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[09:38] <xjkx> oh sry, i thought tee was a misspelling :>
[09:39] <jrib> xjkx: you forgot the "tee"
[09:39] <MarieK> !doesnt't work
[09:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about doesnt't work - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:39] <jerbear> i'm having trouble with a gnome panel... some of my launcher icons are not staying where i put them after locking their position
[09:39] <bruenig> kane77, it may not have highlighting for that type
[09:39] <ironmatar> right
[09:39] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  to run it type:   sudo  sh NVIDIA.xxxxxxx.run     and just answer OK to all the questions...  you can use TAB to autocomplete the name you dont have to type it all
[09:39] <OntzA> too late
[09:39] <phenom> dal: Although I have accepted defeat on a couple botched installs.
[09:39] <bruenig> MarieK, when you say "gtk" what do you mean exactly
[09:39] <MarieK> gtk-gnutella
[09:39] <ironmatar> alrighty then
[09:40] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  it will say no match found do you want to compile your own anwser yes yes yes OKOK OK it seems dauntingat first but it's easy
[09:40] <OntzA> phenom: da1 is going to destroy everything, if he uses de Dell recover function...
[09:40] <bruenig> MarieK, ok run it in the terminal and pastebin what it shoots out if any
[09:40] <MarieK> how do i do that?!
[09:40] <ironmatar> well if it hasent been installed there wouldent be a match found
[09:40] <kane77> bruenig, what do you mean? it has rhtml highlight mode for that.. and it works when I manually select it.. it just misinterprets files... (however if I have  line with content type set to text/rhtml it selects the proper highlighting mode.)
[09:40] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  then when you restart you should see the nice NVIDIA logo on login
[09:41] <fsdsa> guys, a simple quesiton, is there a way to make crontab execeut every 10 second? look like crontab min is 1 minutes
[09:41] <bruenig> kane77, oh see I was inquiring as to whether it had that highlight mode or not
[09:41] <bruenig> fsdsa, no
[09:41] <da1> i installed ubuntu and i think i messed up the partition... now i can't get to windows at all, someone help?
[09:41] <da1> i can get to the grub menu... but i don't know the command
[09:41] <bruenig> fsdsa, you can have it execute a script that will run a command every 10 seconds
[09:41] <MarieK> ok i tired to run in the term. and it closes right away after its done
[09:41] <xjkx> how do i run a command in background?
[09:42] <bruenig> xjkx, command &
[09:42] <jerbear> i'm having trouble with a gnome panel... some of my launcher icons are not staying where i put them after locking their position

[09:42] <fatbrain_> Hi, when I install Nvidia drivers (from nvidia webpage) they load correctly when doing a "gdm restart", but when I reboot, I get an error message stating that the driver could not be loaded. But if I run the Nvidia install again, and restart gdm it works !!! any way I can avoid having to reinstall the driver every time I reboot?
[09:42] <kornits> i am trying to understand https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto
[09:42] <kornits> really badly written to be honest w/ you
[09:43] <da1> i don't see windows in the grub menu
[09:43] <LaCtoSE> MarieK, how did you install gnutella? via synaptic or manually?
[09:43] <bruenig> fatbrain_, how do you know it is working when you restart gdm?
[09:43] <joakim-> fatbrain_, make sure youve got nvidia-glx uninstalled
[09:43] <MarieK> manually
[09:43] <fatbrain_> bruenig: I get the nvidia logo and hardware accleration works :)
[09:43] <LaCtoSE> ;/
[09:43] <joakim-> and the other packages you need to have uninstalled
[09:43] <serenityUK> fatbrain_, you need to uninstall the old ubuntu driveres first !!!...  type:   sudo apt-get remove nvidia*   then reinstall
[09:43] <Judg3_Dr34D> hi there, where can I see all the keyboard shortcuts in Feisty?
[09:43] <joakim-> had the same problem once before
[09:43] <ParaDoX34690> fatbrain_: Install your Nvidia driver using this: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[09:43] <kornits> i am attempting to set up a mail server that will probably serve about 1000 users
[09:43] <joakim-> worked all the time.. but after rebooting, X couldnt start
[09:43] <fatbrain_> joakim-, serenityUK: I'll try that, thanks
[09:44] <kornits> joakim-: try typing startx
[09:44] <da1> windows isn't in the grub menu for me
[09:44] <serenityUK> fatbrain_, it happend to me it says API mismatch on reboot  but install fixed it.. just remove the old ones first
[09:44] <da1> can i change that?
[09:44] <joakim-> kornits, i dont have a problem :)
[09:44] <joakim-> its fatbrain_ ;)
[09:44] <MarieK> Lactose, what now?
[09:44] <kornits> dal that happens all the time

[09:45] <kornits> i forget how to fix it as i use windows boot menu
[09:45] <da1> how do i do that?
[09:45] <phenom> dal: If you correctly installed ubuntu along with the boot loader "dual boot" you should see an option to select to boot windows. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[09:45] <serenityUK> STixx, I tooold you Nexuiz mate..  you can't beat Nexuiz for free a game

[09:46] <serenityUK> STixx, better graphics, plus lots of online players
[09:46] <killerham> is there a way to make ubuntu ignore my second graphics card when installing?
[09:46] <STixx> serenityuk..alrighty...i guess u cant beat a deal like that

[09:47] <ParaDoX34690> Has anyone had any experience streaming MP3 or video from a windows system to ubuntu using VLC or XMMS? The system is on my own network, and I can access everything on the system, I just can't play music off of it without first copying it to my local machine.
[09:47] <LaCtoSE> MarieK, you can try looking for gnutella at www.getdeb.net

[09:49] <sparrw> r00ty: check the roadmap

[09:50] <darkhack> You know, after gutsy release, I hope ubuntu would do a gui redesign aspecially the splash screen

 first the boot screen where the word ubuntu need to be 3d or make it look smooth.
[09:52] <Vlet> I'm working on a tutorial for ubuntuguide and need to know if everyone's www-data user has the ID of 33
[09:52] <OntzA> ParaDoX34690: you are sharing them from a windows system and trying to read them from Linux?
[09:52] <serenityUK> darkhack, you can change the splash easily with gnome-splashscreen-manager   they are just picture files you can download from www.gnome-look.org
[09:52] <lnx> ParaDoX34690 , irc only (hate im ), why you can tell me here ?
[09:52] <ParaDoX34690> OntzA: Yes, that would be correct.
[09:53] <marti149> what package to install tcp_wrappers
[09:53] <ironmatar> serenityUK:   i ran the fist etc command and it dumps me to this fullscreen terminal  kind of expected that  however the cd and ls commands dont show any results
[09:53] <kornits> i have a quick question.   I have setup squirrelmail on my ubuntu machine, if i wanted to provide e-mail accounts for let's say 1000 people, how might I add e-mail addresses to my ubuntu machine and have them be able to check their e-mails from a web interface
[09:53] <OntzA> the best way to do that is using smbfs and mounting the shared folders, works like a charm
[09:53] <ParaDoX34690> lnx^: because what I would tell you isn't exactly legal... I could just tell you to look for a torrent on a site like... oh... I dunno... isohunt.com or torrentreactor.to and tell you to see if you can find the installer and also the engine and that you shouldn't have a problem then...
[09:53] <AznVietKid92> hi can anyone help me here?
[09:54] <Jowi> sparrw, doesn't wacom-tools package contain something for that?
[09:54] <kornits> it would also be helpful to add e-mail accounts and boxes via a web interface
[09:54] <kornits> any ideas?
[09:54] <imranf> serenityUk: it was successful user creation and now the effects trouble is over
[09:54] <sparrw> Jowi: no.  it has xsetwacom, but not wacomcpl
[09:54] <Jowi> sparrw, oh
[09:54] <TMH_> hi. I would like some information on compiling my kernel the "ubuntu" way
 Second The splash screen need to be different instad of retangle which to must kind get old.
[09:54] <electronick> atchim!!
[09:54] <sparrw> Jowi: and im rather annoyed with the package maintainer for leaving that out
[09:54] <lnx> ParaDoX34690 , i understand . . . so there isnt free software todo it like wine but better ?
[09:54] <OntzA> lnx: have you ever heard of mininova.org?
[09:54] <PriceChild> !highno | TMH_
[09:54] <ubotu> TMH_: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos.
[09:54] <TMH_> I really like the ubuntu kernel, but I need to change some things
[09:54] <PriceChild> !kernel | TMH_
[09:54] <ubotu> TMH_: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[09:55] <serenityUK> imranf, good so it wasn't drivers..  you can copy your bookmarks from the other users home dir
[09:55] <sloopy>  d;ljk;ksidpw oose
[09:55] <sparrw> Jowi: now im going to have to build the package myself
[09:55] <Ninja_> Can I image a drive using dd?

[09:55] <sloopy> H
[09:55] <imranf> yes.. but it is the least previliged account..
[09:55] <lnx> OntzA , yes
[09:55] <PriceChild> TMH_, please be aware that if you install a custom kernel... it could easily create random bugs... and would be very unfair to ask for support here for other "unrelated" things on your system without mentioning the custom kernel. THey aren't supported.
[09:55] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  maybe it put you in the root home dir... try tying the full path such as   cd  /home/ironmatar/Desktop  or whatever you username is
[09:55] <Ninja_> sparrw: Will this copy the mbr?
[09:55] <AznVietKid92> Hi, when my cd drive boots Ubuntu into the menu, I pressed "Start or Install Ubuntu" and it went to a black screen with a dash flashing top left, and 2 horizontal columns of text that say Int 14: and Stack:
[09:56] <sparrw> Ninja_: not sure
[09:56] <darkhack> Anyway, ubuntu so far is doing an excellent job
[09:56] <AznVietKid92> anyone here know what the problem is?
[09:56] <sparrw> AznVietKid92: that sounds like a crash.  try install in safe video mode?
[09:56] <AznVietKid92> tried that
[09:56] <AznVietKid92> does the same thing
[09:56] <TMH_> pricechild: thank you, I just need to apply a patch to my disk drivers. I'm pretty sure that I know what I'm doing, I've done it before.
[09:56] <sparrw> AznVietKid92: or try playing with the boot options
[09:56] <sparrw> AznVietKid92: or google the precise int14/stack text
[09:56] <lnx> VMWARE is good one ?
[09:57] <dcordes> Where is the apt "statfile" located?
[09:57] <ironmatar> thanks
[09:57] <killerham> when I tried installing in safe mode, my pc speaker went crazy. When I install in normal mode, I get a flashing dash, but nothing. Could it be the fact I have 2 graphics cards?
[09:57] <OntzA> lnx what do you want to do with vmware?
[09:57] <PriceChild> TMH_, remember to import the old ubuntu sources, .config etc. and try to apply the patch to those
[09:57] <ParaDoX34690> lnx^: just go to www.isohunt.com, search for cedega, download cedega-6.0.2, and also cedega-engine-6.0.2... that's all that you'll need
[09:57] <PriceChild> TMH_, not kernel.org

[10:01] <steph_16th> hi, anyone knows how to stream a webcam with gaim-msn or amsn??
[10:01] <unknown_trojan> can anyone help with mouse issue?
[10:02] <imranf> is there a way to chkdsk?
[10:02] <imranf> I think I'm having filesystem errors
[10:02] <imbecile> anyone know how (or where to) install figlet fonts?
[10:02] <Pici> !fsck | imranf
[10:02] <ubotu> imranf: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot

[10:03] <lnx> OntzA , i want to run games with vmware
[10:04] <Mughi> can anyone recommend a firewall with a gui for kde ?
[10:04] <OntzA> no way
[10:04] <OntzA> vmware is not to run games
[10:04] <tonyyarusso> !firewall | Mughi
[10:04] <ubotu> Mughi: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).

[10:04] <Mughi> thanks
[10:05] <OntzA> it doesn't have graphic acceleration (well there is a kind of acceleration, but it's DirectX 7 and reaaaally slow
[10:05] <serenityUK> ok imranf i think i know how to make the user account full privillages like the old account
[10:05] <student_admin> i'd like to get this done in the next 2 hours
[10:05] <imranf> great

[10:05] <Jowi> student_admin, yes you can re-install grub
[10:05] <Jowi> !grub | student_admin
[10:05] <student_admin> how
[10:05] <ubotu> student_admin: 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
[10:05] <ParaDoX34690> lnx^: if you're gonna want to run windows games, I suggest you either get that cedega like I was trying to tell you, or just stay with windows... vmware blows running games... it doesn't have the graphic support that you'd need
[10:05] <imbecile> tetris would be really easy on vmware.. you would have like a minute to get everything lined up
[10:05] <serenityUK> imranf  you basically have to add the user to lots of groups such as the admin group to allow you to sudo
[10:05] <student_admin> you guys are the best
[10:05] <unknown_trojan> Can anyone help with mouse issue? I've rebooted x amount of times, I can no loger use right click to open a menu (my main means of accesing programs in a menu. It just stopped working in the middle of using
[10:06] <student_admin> less than 4 mins in this and i alreaDY HAVE A SOLUTION
[10:06] <serenityUK> imranf  what is the name of the new account?
[10:06] <Skrypt> poningru: so if I wanted to create a SSH Tunnel to this irc I'd use "sudo ssh -L [kubrick.freenode.net:] :6667:64.62.187.4:22
[10:06] <Skrypt> "
[10:06] <imbecile> or the open source equivilent to tetris of course
[10:06] <imranf> admin001
[10:07] <Jowi> unknown_trojan, have you tried with another mouse?
[10:07] <imranf> it is "admin001"
[10:07] <serenityUK> try pasting this into the terminal(press enter to copy when selected):     sudo usermod -aG adm,dialout,cdrom,floppy,audio,dip,video,plugdev,netdev,scanner,lpadmin,powerdev,admin admin001
[10:07] <unknown_trojan> Jowi: I'm on a laptop, and I would love not use an extra device
[10:08] <Jowi> unknown_trojan, so the mouse is actually a touchpad? could be a loose cable under the keyboard.
[10:08] <serenityUK> oh imranf you have to be able to do sudo lol... change to old account with      su  myoldname    then you can run the sudo command
[10:08] <Fetch> Does anyone know of an apt repo with a version of the 2.4 kernel that works on 6.06 LTS?
[10:09] <unknown_trojan> Jowi: It was working fine then poof no more menus no more 3rd button click mode either
[10:09] <arman> can anyone help me installing nvidia driver for 8600GT PLEASE????,
[10:09] <rzoz> if i have a very large read-only file that i want fast access to between processes and enough ram to store it, but i want the processes to treat it as a file as well as only load the pieces of it into memory that are requested, what should i use?  i can't really use mmap because i need it to be opened as if it were a file.
[10:09] <imranf> hmmm
[10:09] <unknown_trojan> Jowi: It works fine everywhere else except desktop
[10:09] <neverblue> !nvidia | arman
[10:09] <ubotu> arman: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:09] <Phrozen_One> hey guys, why would I reboot make my sound stop working if no major updates\package changes occurred?
[10:09] <Jowi> unknown_trojan, what do you mean by that?
[10:10] <serenityUK> imranf, did you see that second bit?  change to you old account with su  then you can run sudo
[10:10] <neverblue> Phrozen_One, im sure it has nothing to do with it
[10:10] <PriceChild> Phrozen_One, because you changed something
[10:10] <imranf> yes sereneity I'll try it and let u know
[10:10] <imranf> thanks
[10:10] <Fetch> rzoz: you want a memory-backed temp filesystem
[10:10] <kane77> so how do I configure desktop-effects? (when I added comiz-extra? how do I enable the extra plugins??)
[10:10] <MOTZ> how do i install flash player 9 under ubuntu ? already have the file
[10:11] <Phrozen_One> but all the sound levels I feel are relevant are maxxed out, the app's sound is maxed, etc.
[10:11] <tunedout> I get this on some websites using several webrowsers '] ALj)
[10:11] <mz_> hi
[10:11] <rzoz> Fetch: like a ramdisk?  i was looking at that but i'm under the impression that i'd have to load the entire file into it before i could use it.  i think i want more of a big cache that acts like a file.
[10:11] <serenityUK> imranf, i just setup a spare account here and it seemed to work
[10:11] <neverblue> Phrozen_One, what application are you using to listen to the audio?
[10:11] <tunedout> its like everything is encrypted anyone ever experience that ?
[10:11] <arman> there is no Ubuntu 7.04 supported binary driver for 8600GT
[10:11] <PriceChild> MOTZ, i think its in the backports repo, if you enable that from system > admin > software sources then install flashplugin-nonfree
[10:11] <PriceChild> arman, no, the card was released after feisty's release sorry.
[10:11] <Jowi> unknown_trojan, you mean that the second mouse button works except on the desktop or what?
[10:12] <mz_> having some problemes with /dev/dsp, my soundcard isn't there anymore after an unexpected reboot... any ideas on how to make it come back?
[10:12] <unknown_trojan> Jowi: I can still right click on menu bar, on applications it still works, but not on desktop. I'm using desktop mouse right click to open menu to other applications... now I don't mind alt-f2, but I just customized the menu
[10:12] <Phrozen_One> Rhythmbox....but other applications cannot produce sound either
[10:12] <MOTZ> ill try
[10:12] <unknown_trojan> Jowi: yes
[10:12] <beta-guy_> I want to compile the latest kernel to run on the PS3, is there a quick howto on doing this?

[10:13] <mz_> neverblue, mz@gantz:/dev/snd$ lspci | grep -i audio

[10:13] <Lamorack> Hi all
[10:13] <PriceChild> beta-guy_, or for others see http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/feisty/release/
[10:13] <neverblue> mz_, so the device is there, check you volume levels
[10:14] <serdar_> hi
[10:14] <neverblue> hey serdar_
[10:14] <mz_> but i can't choose it con kmix...
[10:14] <beta-guy_> I have ubuntu installed, I ju8st want to upgrade the kernel
[10:14] <demonspork> I have an unreadable NTFS partition that also has ntldr and boot.ini on it.  They load correctly on system startup, but once the system is started (either Ubuntu or Windows) I cannot read the partition.  How do I fix this partition and/or reformat it and reinstall the bootloaders?
[10:14] <Bucketface> Hey, I am trying to figure out how to get my o2 broaband modem to work under Ubuntu V 7.04. It's a huawei e220 and all the searches on google have been for vodafone version, I'm sure it's applicable to the o2 modem too but either way, it's over my head right now... Can anyone help please?
[10:14] <PriceChild> beta-guy_, I'm confused then... upgrade from what to what?
[10:14] <MOTZ> how do i install the file?
[10:14] <imranf> Serenity, I have Root Account, Imran (doesn't work after logging due to effects), and new "admin001" (least previlleged account, unable to sudo) What specific command to enter based on scenario?
[10:14] <PriceChild> Bucketface, how does it connect to the machine?
[10:15] <ironmata1> well i seem to be missing something somehow i get the pc/dos like screen w blue text  but even copying the exact name header as me desktop the way it shows in terminal dosent get me there serenityUK
[10:15] <Bucketface> USB
[10:15] <Bucketface> Ubuntu doesn't recognise it even, whereas it does recognise a regular flash drive.
[10:16] <demonspork> Bucketface, does it have an ethernet port on it?
[10:16] <EsRaA> offff
[10:16] <beta-guy_> from 2.6.20 to 2.6.23
[10:16] <Bucketface> It only has the usb connection.
[10:16] <serenityUK> imranf,  ok if root works  change to that by typing   su     then type    usermod -aG adm,dialout,cdrom,floppy,audio,dip,video,plugdev,netdev,scanner,lpadmin,powerdev,admin admin001
[10:16] <PriceChild> beta-guy_, why?
[10:17] <PriceChild> !highno | beta-guy_
[10:17] <ubotu> beta-guy_: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos.
[10:17] <serenityUK> imranf,  you can use copy and paste!!
[10:17] <mkamal30> hi
[10:17] <sk0t> what are some of the best REPOS to use?
[10:17] <PriceChild> sk0t, the ones installed by default
[10:17] <sk0t> PriceChild, they are the best ?
[10:17] <imranf> yeah :)
[10:17] <serenityUK> ironmata1, which bit are you stuck i dont understand?  cant launch NVIDIA
[10:17] <PriceChild> sk0t, definitely.
[10:17] <sk0t> PriceChild, arent there any others that offer added benefit?
[10:18] <PriceChild> sk0t, Seen as you are asking this question, I STRONGLY advise against adding 3rd party repositories.
[10:18] <EsRaA> ya ldrcamm
[10:18] <EsRaA> kimse yokmu
[10:18] <EsRaA> :(
[10:18] <demonspork> Bucketface, it is very likely that there is no USB linux driver for your modem (ADSL or Cable?)
[10:18] <PriceChild> sk0t, they will easily break your system, you won't know what to trust etc.
[10:18] <sk0t> PriceChild, fair enough.
[10:18] <Jowi> unknown_trojan, do you let nautilus to draw the desktop (do you have icons and stuff on the desktop or is it blank)?
[10:19] <beta-guy_> I can't installed Windows on Qemu because the PS3 keeps ejecting the cd some one release a kernel 2.6.22 that reduced this issue, however I haven't installed it I want to move to 2.6.23
[10:19] <Bucketface> This USB mobile broadband modem is the only means of internet I have in my current location. I have a WiFi card that I can't test seeing as there is no WiFi here!
[10:19] <serenityUK> ironmata1, which bit are you stuck i dont understand?  cant launch NVIDIA
[10:19] <imranf> All my partitions are auto mounted at logon, I don't want certain partitions to automount.. HOW?
[10:19] <PriceChild> Bucketface, this "modem"... it draws power from the pc.... requires the usb connection?
[10:19] <ironmata1> i clse out everything  open terminal  enter the sudo stop command for ini.d i  desktop quits and i get what loosk like a old fashiond dos programming screen
[10:19] <demonspork> Bucketface, what are the specs on your computer?
[10:20] <PriceChild> Bucketface, or is it one with the option of ethernet/wireless/usb ?
[10:20] <Bucketface> It draws power from the usb ports.
[10:20] <ironmata1> cd / dosent seem to work
[10:20] <PriceChild> Bucketface, eciadsl.flashtux.org was always good to me for usb adsl but yours isn't listed there :(
[10:20] <serenityUK> ironmata1, what is your user account called?
[10:20] <unknown_trojan> Jowi: I do have Icons tha function, it's only on the desk top that it doesn't work ( or my double click to switch work spaces)
[10:20] <Bucketface> The LED does flash when I insert it, but no sound is heard and I can't seem to find it anywhere unlike when I connect a regular flashdrive
[10:21] <SD> is oneko still available?
[10:21] <ironmata1> ironmatar
[10:21] <Zta> When I try to install gnome-session, apt-get install also wants to install radeontool.  Why this dependency?  I don't have a ATI card, so how can this be a dependency?
[10:21] <unknown_trojan> Jowi: I've looked through the forums and can't find an applicable answer yet... maybe my wording sucks
[10:22] <ubuntu> can I chroot into a system that hasn't been booted even once, without damaging anything?
[10:22] <demonspork> imranf, the file "/etc/fstab" contains all the settings for your file system.
[10:22] <PriceChild> ubuntu, should be fine afaik
[10:22] <imranf>  All my partitions are auto mounted at logon, I don't want certain partitions to automount.. HOW?
[10:22] <serenityUK> ironmata1,   ok  so you want     cd  /home/ironmatar/Desktop           then you should be able to see the file you downloaded with   ls
[10:22] <SD> can someone give me the name of a # that would be able to tell me please
[10:22] <demonspork> imranf, in order to keep something from automounting, simply change the option "auto" to "noauto
[10:23] <serenityUK> ironmata1,   to  run that file when in the directory type    sudo sh  NVIDIA.xxxxxx.run
[10:23] <imranf> where demonspork? where is this information stored?
[10:23] <Jowi> unknown_trojan, I'm searching through the gconf-editor but haven't found anything yet. in the meantime have you tried creating a new user and log in with that to see if the problem is only for this user?
[10:23] <sloopy> imranf, change auto to noauto in /etc/fstab
[10:23] <demonspork> imranf, the file "/etc/fstab" contains all the settings for your file system.
[10:23] <serenityUK> ironmata1,   you can use the TAB key to auto complete
[10:23] <ironmata1> is number of xx's  critical
[10:23] <heavenquake> PriceChild: because then I won't bother rebooting in order to install some packages, if I can do it off the liveCD as well.
[10:24] <unknown_trojan> Jowi: Good Idea I'll try it in a sec
[10:24] <demonspork> for example, one of my lines is "/dev/sda3 /media/disk auto rw,auto,user 0 0"
[10:24] <demonspork> imranffor example, one of my lines is "/dev/sda3 /media/disk auto rw,auto,user 0 0"
[10:24] <serenityUK> ironmata1,   no it was an example...  but it is case sensitive  just type the first few letteres NVI   then you can use the TAB key to auto complete
[10:24] <demonspork> imranf for example, one of my lines is "/dev/sda3 /media/disk auto rw,auto,user 0 0"
[10:24] <ironmata1> right
[10:24] <ironmata1> ok
[10:24] <spanglesontoast> anyone know why my 3d accel would not be detected with fglrx
[10:25] <agustin> hola
[10:25] <Bucketface> PriceChild, http://ske.sourceforge.net/html/projects/huawei/huawei_tre.html .
[10:25] <ironmata1> ok bb in a few depending
[10:25] <demonspork> imranf, to keep that partition from mounting automatically, I simply change "rw,auto,user" to "rw,noauto,user"
[10:26] <PriceChild> Bucketface, you're on feisty right?
[10:26] <imranf> demonspork: is this correct? "/dev/sda3 /media/disk noauto rw,noauto,user 0 0"
[10:26] <demonspork> imranf, you need to look at the line that is in YOUR fstab file, don't use my line
[10:26] <Bucketface> Pretty sure I am.
[10:26] <niuq> how can i make a bulk change of picture's names
[10:26] <samrammstein> ii
[10:27] <PriceChild> Bucketface, "lsb_release -a" just to be sure
[10:27] <KlrSpz> what does it mean when i do an apt-cache search "pkg" i get: E: Regex compilation error
[10:27] <Bucketface> I'm not currently under linux right now
[10:27] <imranf> sure.. but do I need to replace all occurrances of auto -> noauto in the line?
[10:27] <Bucketface> I have no other means of connecting to the internet than this!
[10:27] <Bucketface> Um
[10:27] <Bucketface> I got it from www.ubuntu.com
[10:27] <samrammstein> hey
[10:27] <Bucketface> So.
[10:27] <Bucketface> I can figure out which one it is.
[10:27] <PriceChild> Bucketface, ok well that guide is pretty good.... print it off or save it somewhere to read it whilst on ubunut.
[10:28] <Bucketface> k.
[10:28] <PriceChild> Bucketface, as long as you're on feisty it should be fine
[10:28] <samrammstein> sam.t83.net
[10:28] <Bucketface> Well, I don't know how to do any of that stuff yet.
[10:28] <EsRaA> yaaa
[10:28] <Bucketface> I have run the liveCD and messed around for a minute :D
[10:28] <EsRaA> offff
[10:28] <Bucketface> That's it.
[10:28] <Bucketface> Yup, it's Ubuntu, 7.04, Feisty Fawn
[10:29] <imranf> hehe sure demonspork..! but do I need to replace all occurrances of auto -> noauto in the line?
[10:29] <niuq> how can i change the name of a bunch of pictures inside of a folder: something like  something.jpg, blabla.jpg >>>>> 1.jpg, 2jpg
[10:29] <Billy_> !iso
[10:29] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[10:29] <PriceChild> Bucketface, well those instructions will work, use them :)
[10:29] <KlrSpz> apt-cache search '*java*'
[10:29] <KlrSpz> E: Regex compilation error
[10:29] <KlrSpz> ^^ why?? ^^
[10:29] <PriceChild> Bucketface, 'dmesg' is a program you should start in a terminal before plugging in the modem to be sure
[10:30] <tonyyarusso> niuq: man rename
[10:30] <niuq> tonyyarusso: i have 440 pictures there...
[10:31] <demonspork> imranf: "/dev/sda3" is the device, "/media/disk" refers to the mount point, then the "auto" refers to the filesystem type (such as NTFS, reiserfs), then the next is the rest of the options, "rw," (read-write access) "auto," (whether or not to automount it) and "user" (who mounts it)
[10:31] <bruenig> KlrSpz, I didn't realize apt-cache was regex, but I imagine the problem is the leading *
[10:31] <niuq> tonyyarusso: in some folder i have 100 pictures and in others more than 50, i wont go picture by picture.
[10:31] <Bucketface> Okay, I see that is says that there. Will I need to fully install it and then try, or will I be able to test it from the live CD?
[10:31] <demonspork> imranf, only the second occurrence of auto refers to automounting
[10:31] <KlrSpz> bruenig: in either direction it seems to fail
[10:31] <KlrSpz> or wait, does it need to be perl regex?
[10:32] <imranf> ok I got it. thanks
[10:32] <bruenig> KlrSpz, take the quotes off of it
[10:32] <bruenig> KlrSpz, and then if that still fails removing the leading *
[10:32] <niuq> tonyyarusso: i thought i could make a script, but i'm not really good with it, im just starting
[10:32] <niuq> how can i change the name of a bunch of pictures inside of a folder: something like  something.jpg, blabla.jpg >>>>> 1.jpg, 2jpg
[10:32] <tonyyarusso> niuq: rename takes regex as arguements, so if you can make one that will match, it will step through.
[10:32] <Bucketface> Thanks for the help~!
[10:32] <XiXaQ> does anyone have a URL to a document describing the differences between feisty and gutsy?
[10:33] <KlrSpz> and what's weird is "apt-cache search java" returns php5
[10:33] <demonspork> Bucketface, I have a quick question, how are you talking to us without internet access?
[10:33] <KlrSpz> which does NOT have java in anything i can see returned
[10:33] <tonyyarusso> XiXaQ: a sec
[10:33] <niuq> tonyyarusso: didnt get it
[10:33] <go6|in> feisty freezes during boot -- at this line: sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x dvd .... blah... blah...
[10:33] <bruenig> KlrSpz, it is probably in the description
[10:33] <bruenig> KlrSpz, javascript maybe
[10:33] <KlrSpz> bruenig: mmm ok, how do i see the desc?
[10:33] <bruenig> KlrSpz, apt-cache show php5
[10:33] <demonspork> I have an unreadable NTFS partition that also has ntldr and boot.ini on it.

[10:36] <boha> any ideas
[10:36] <bruenig> KlrSpz, oh is there? I always used to just grep it again to get a --names-only effect
[10:36] <dvs01> whee.. i just got hired as a sysadmin =D
[10:36] <ironmatar> no i seem to be navigating improperly after issing the gdm stop command and desktop closes
[10:36] <tonyyarusso> dvs01: for?
[10:36] <KlrSpz> ok next question, to get java to work in FF, do i use sun-java6-plugin since i have the sun j6 jre?
[10:37] <niuq> how can i change the name of a bunch of pictures inside of a folder: something like  something.jpg, blabla.jpg >>>>> 1.jpg, 2.jpg
[10:37] <KlrSpz> niuq: there's a couple ways
[10:37] <dvs01> i'd rather not disclose on irc
[10:37] <KlrSpz> niuq: what DE are you using?
[10:37] <serenityUK> ....
[10:37] <niuq> Klrspz: what does DE stands for?
[10:37] <pingu_lady> hi
[10:37] <XiXaQ> Desktop Environment.
[10:38] <niuq> Klrspz: i am using gnome, if that what you mean
[10:38] <newbie> someone has troubles installing nvidia drivers with a fx5200 card?
[10:38] <ironmatar> 64 bit fiesty install serenityUK
[10:38] <pingu_lady> i imported a theme to Emerald Theme maneger but how can i activate it? i double click on it but nothing changez
[10:38] <Bucketface> Uh
[10:38] <Bucketface> demonspork, I am currently on Windows :D
[10:38] <KlrSpz> niuq: yes, install gqview
[10:39] <KlrSpz> it's great, and has a nice renaming tool in it
[10:39] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  ooooh u are 64bit... you need to download the other version
[10:39] <niuq> Klrspz: ok
[10:39] <KlrSpz> otherwise, i can write you a small 1 line bash script to rename everything in natural sequential order
[10:39] <imranf> With Ubuntu Live CD System Security is at stake, all the partitions are auto mounted and accessible to everyone. How to prevent this?
[10:39] <ironmatar> sorry my bad
[10:39] <niuq> Klrspz: that would be great, i tried something like that, but i'm just starting with bash scripts
[10:40] <Lamorack> .
[10:40] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  i have 64bit too... http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/100.14.11/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.11-pkg2.run
[10:40] <pingu_lady> hi
[10:41] <pingu_lady> i imported a theme to Emerald Theme maneger but how can i activate it? i double click on it but nothing changez
[10:42] <KlrSpz> well the gqview is great anyway
[10:42] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  but it didnt sound like you got that far.... it is case sensitive when you change directories but you can use tab to help too... type  cd /home  and press tab twice to see a list of home folder then type first letter and press tab to autocomplete
[10:42] <imranf> With Ubuntu Live CD System Security is at stake, all the partitions are auto mounted and accessible to everyone. How to prevent this? I don't want Live CD to automount everything and risk my data to others?
[10:43] <niuq> Klrspz: ok, im trying in right now
[10:43] <crasher5> Hi, i have a little smthn that i want to install, the first step of the installation process as stated in the readme file is to run the configure script. However, i can only open it with a bunch of text editors and when i try ./configure it says: sudo: ./configure: command not found. In order to complete the installation i need the Makefile generated from the configure... What can I do in this situation?
[10:43] <demonspork> is there any way to download the packages directly from the repositories and then install the .deb on a machine?
[10:43] <ironmatar> its normal to have the desktop close and get a  diffrent non gui like text screen right
[10:43] <serenityUK> ironmatar, yes because the graphics card is running in the desktop ... you have to goto textmode to install drivers
[10:43] <exalarge> imranf: use encrypted partitions
[10:44] <unknown_trojan> Jowi: It worked! Thanks Jowi, but what do you think happened, and what would you suggest I look at to try to understand it?
[10:44] <imranf> where can I find more info?
[10:44] <protododo> what's the best way to migrate from ubuntu to xubuntu without a fresh install?
[10:44] <serenityUK> imranf,   www.truecrypt.org
[10:44] <KlrSpz> i can't get any sound from my box, even though alsamixer shows the right hardware and the right module is loaded, AND it's all unmuted and turned up
[10:45] <UrallOSheretics> You're all OS heretics who diss any program not associated with OS, even if it's better. You enjoy leading a lifestyle and pushing ideas over on everyone else when you can't see your ideas fail because there's too many factions of you. P.S. Elkbuntu sucks a fat one.
[10:45] <ironmatar> ok i am prety shure im getting to there just a navigation of that i seem to be having a bit os a issue with

[10:47] <crasher5> really, can someone recommend me something? :(
[10:48] <niuq> is deluge a bittorrent client?
[10:48] <serenityUK> crasher5, you need to   cd   to the directory that you extract the source before you run  ./configure
[10:48] <n0dding0ff> Is there anyone here who's an ALSA expert?
[10:48] <crasher5> i did that
[10:48] <serenityUK> crasher5, you don't usually run   ./configure and  make  as sudo  only   sudo make install the third step
[10:48] <Dougie> you need to have the build packages installed
[10:49] <demonspork> n0dding0ff, there might be one in #ALSA
[10:49] <serenityUK> crasher5, try   sudo apt-get installl build-essential
[10:49] <serenityUK> crasher5, try   sudo apt-get install build-essential  with one L lol
[10:49] <Dougie> serenityUK, yeah that one thanks! lol
[10:49] <unknown_trojan> Jowi: Are you still on I figured it out...
[10:49] <n0dding0ff> demonspork: No one's responding on there.  I think they all fell asleep.
[10:49] <demonspork> eh
[10:49] <KlrSpz> i can't get sound to even work on my pc even though alsa says it all works
[10:49] <demonspork> there were several helping me the other day
[10:50] <demonspork> Klrspz, are you on a laptop?
[10:50] <KlrSpz> demonspork: no, desktop
[10:50] <KlrSpz> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
[10:50] <demonspork> klrSpz, do you also have Windows on it?
[10:50] <KlrSpz> snd_hda_intel module loaded
[10:50] <Dougie> klrSPz, Are you using digital/optical output?
[10:50] <protododo> Anyone in here know anything about completely removing gnome and installing xfce?  I'd like to avoid a fresh install of xubuntu because I've added a lot of apps that I like.
[10:50] <KlrSpz> alsa started
[10:51] <KlrSpz> Dougie: , no, analogue
[10:51] <Dougie> hmm
[10:51] <Dougie> you check and see if its muted?
[10:51] <Dougie> run alsamixer
[10:51] <Dougie> all that
[10:51] <seclein_> gutsy tribe 5 isn't out yet, right?
[10:51] <gordonjcp> protododo: you could do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[10:52] <Dougie> gutsy channel is ubuntu+1
[10:52] <kornits> ok... so i've edited my xorg.conf file t0 include more resolutions, but the resolutions are still not listed in my display settings
[10:52] <poningru> seclein_, it will be out today
[10:52] <crasher5> serenityUK, make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop. In the README file it says it needs the Makefile obtained after running the configure shell script
[10:52] <kornits> how can I fix this
[10:52] <kornits> ?
[10:52] <seclein_> poningru: ok thx
[10:52] <KlrSpz> odd... restarting alsa for the 100000000th time got it to work
[10:52] <Dougie> crasher5, did you do the build-essentials?
[10:52] <crasher5> yes
[10:52] <Dougie> crasher5, and you did ./configure and make?
[10:53] <crasher5> no for christs sake..
[10:53] <Dougie> lol
[10:53] <crasher5> i cant run the ./configure
[10:53] <Dougie> if you installed build essentials you should be able to now :)

[11:11] <red> xero9364: where can i find that?  i only see desktop and server
[11:11] <xero9364> neverblue: Internet explorer sucks, but yes.
[11:11] <neverblue> where xero9364 ?
[11:11] <xero9364> red: It should be under the desktop category
[11:12] <xero9364> neverblue: I don't know. Have you tried IEs for Unix or whatever?
[11:12] <Bucketface> Jack_Sparrow, I will be able to read them and listen to my music use stuff from my documents etc. right off the bat, but in order to download stuff outside of my linux partition, I would need to get a thing called ntfs-3g?
[11:12] <Bucketface> Where to find?!
[11:12] <neverblue> yes, installs only upto 6.0
[11:12] <Jack_Sparrow> !ntfs-3g
[11:12] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[11:12] <Ubunter> hey guys
[11:12] <evilofisho_> Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.com/d33646788
[11:12] <serenityUK> hi Ubunter
[11:12] <xero9364> neverblue: Then I'm stumped. IE sucks anyway, though.
[11:12] <Bucketface> thanks
[11:12] <Haz> is there a decent linux app for ubuntu that outputs record uptimes?
[11:12] <Skrypt> serenityUK: Ok, I have a mybook. It has 2 icons on my desktop. One icon functions normally with the hard drive. The other just never moves...
[11:12] <neverblue> xero9364, I think you mentioned that once already
[11:13] <Skrypt> If I unmount, the one icon removes but the other doesnt....
[11:13] <Jack_Sparrow> evilofisho_: So you have run automatix... bad boy...
[11:13] <Ubunter> there is a question i have relating to the GUI installer for ubuntu (ubiquity)
[11:13] <Jack_Sparrow> !automatix | evilofisho_:
[11:13] <ubotu> evilofisho_:: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software.  When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it.  A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme)
[11:13] <xero9364> Jack_Sparrow, what's wrong with Automatix? I used it and **NOTHING BROKE OMG!!**
[11:13] <red> xero9364:
[11:13] <evilofisho_> Jack_Sparrow: Damnit.
[11:13] <red> xero9364: thanks :)
[11:14] <Jack_Sparrow> xero9364:
[11:14] <xero9364> red: It was s_v_e_n who helped you.

[11:14] <serenityUK> Skrypt, I have a mybook too... are you letting it automount or did you add a line in /etc/fstab?   do they have the same name or is one like MyBook_
[11:14] <evilofisho_> Jack_Sparrow: Well, thanks anyway.
[11:14] <neverblue> ah, xero9364 is asking questions
[11:14] <red> s_v_e_n: thanks :)
[11:14] <neverblue> is it possible to install higher than IE 6 on a linux box?
[11:14] <Skrypt> it's "MyBook" and there's no line in fstab
[11:15] <Jack_Sparrow> evilofisho_: IT is not as simple as uninstalling it.. and the problems it causes are not always immediately seen..
[11:15] <nickrud> neverblue, sure, with vmware
[11:15] <Skrypt> they're both "MyBook"
[11:15] <serenityUK> just ask Ubunter .. it is busy in here u have to shout abit
[11:15] <Dougie> yeah this is all i can find about installing the udf2.5 patch A UDF 2.5 filesystem driver (the UDF driver included in Feisty Fawn 7.04 only supports UDF 2.0). A driver for Feisty Fawn's 2.6.20-15 kernel is attached to this page. Copy it to /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/fs/udf/udf.ko
[11:15] <neverblue> nickrud, thats a solution, but not the one I am looking for, thanks though
[11:15] <evilofisho_> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, I know. Even if I uninstall it the damage is already done.
[11:15] <red> i actually have an ubuntu install that i cannot get to start correctly after i cp'ed it to another (raid) partition
[11:15] <nickrud> neverblue, I should have added a smiley
[11:15] <Haz> is there a decent linux app for ubuntu that outputs record uptimes?
[11:15] <marko-_-> how do you make an directiory or an file in terminal ?
[11:15] <neverblue> :)
[11:15] <Bucketface> Jack_Sparrow, so NTFS-3g is already in ubuntu when I install the OS, I just need to like, activate it?
[11:15] <neverblue> ops, I should have :)
[11:15] <EvilSpork> Hiya.
[11:16] <Jack_Sparrow>  Bucketface  yes.. you should have no problems
[11:16] <Dougie> marko-_-, mkdir for directory file you just do something like nano blah.txt or whatever
[11:16] <xero9364> Jack_Sparrow, Holy sh**. I didn't know Automatix did all that dangerous crap. (uninstalls it immediately)
[11:16] <EvilSpork> What kernel does 7.04 server run now?
[11:16] <Jack_Sparrow> xero9364: Sorry.. but it is too late for that...
[11:16] <fuzzy> im trying to get my sound working on my laptop, i have a alc260 sound card, can someone point me in the right direction?

[11:17] <Ubunter> :)
[11:17] <red> i have been getting booted into the `initramfs` prompt and i am clueless about how to get the OS on the raid partition to boot up correctly.  mdrun /does/ start the raid device but i cannot figure out how to boot the OS on the raid device
[11:17] <EvilSpork> I've used smartmontools for such
[11:17] <Ubunter> okay never mind pastebin now
[11:17] <Jack_Sparrow> xero9364: Yea.... Keep thinking that..
[11:17] <exalarge> EvilSpork: 2.6.20-16
[11:18] <EvilSpork> Thank you.
[11:18] <xero9364> I seriously see nothing broken. GNOME still works, and everything I do works like a charm (including GRUB)
[11:18] <Jack_Sparrow> evilofisho_: A fresh install  is the easiest bet...  or a backup prior to using automatix if you have that.
[11:18] <Ubunter> there is a question i have relating to the GUI installer for ubuntu (ubiquity)... in the Advanced section there is the default value (hd0)
[11:18] <xero9364> I'm not taking that kind of risk though.
[11:18] <evilofisho_> Jack_Sparrow: Alright, thanks for the help.
[11:18] <therethinker> !svn | therethinker
[11:18] <Ubunter> what if i change that value to (hda1) ??
[11:18] <GNine> as of aug, 2006 there is not higher version of IE for linux than version 6.
[11:19] <Jack_Sparrow> evilofisho_: Wish it was better news...  People here are happy to help you install anything we can the right way
[11:19] <vlt> Hello. Which command do I need to execute to hibernate my laptop?
[11:19] <serenityUK> Ubunter, do you mean when installing grub  or the root of ubuntu?
[11:19] <Dougie> ok i think i figured out what i did wrong :)
[11:19] <Ubunter> serenityUK,  i mean when install GRUB
[11:19] <GNine> ubuntu is not grub
[11:20] <Ubunter> *when installing
[11:20] <neverblue> is it possible to install higher than IE 6 on a linux box?
[11:20] <bjames> will Ubuntu have a newer kernel soon?
[11:20] <GNine> neverblue. my small research sais no
[11:20] <boha> hello
[11:20] <bjames> and is there an automated update process
[11:20] <boha> why do i get this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34818/
[11:20] <neverblue> GNine, same here
[11:20] <bjames> ?
[11:20] <Kaedenn> Greetin's. What package should I download if I want an extremely comprehensive, user-friendly calculator application that allows me to plot 2D or 3D graphs, where x and y can both be of arbitrary degrees?
[11:20] <EvilSpork> Would I lose any interesting functionality on 6.06 server by installing the latest vanilla kernel? I want to get the max6650 driver so I can make my old Intel server stop screaming
[11:21] <nickrud> bjames, with gutsy; the kernel in feisty might get some backported stuff, but the kernel version won't change
[11:21] <evilofisho_> Jack_Sparrow: I just popped in the installation CD, am I supposted to like.. Make a clean install or 'Run upgrade'..?
[11:21] <ompaul> bjames, it will have a new one with the new release or a new one if the devs think that it needs such a serious patch to the old one that is about it
[11:21] <Kaedenn> For example, I want to graph 14x^3 + 18y^3 = 0
[11:21] <EvilSpork> I asked about 7.04 before, just wondering if that'd get me a new enough version... yes, i'm lazy
[11:21] <GNine> it was in the works but thats about it
[11:21] <Kaedenn> Without solving for y.
[11:21] <_Lyxus_> I have qa centrino duo, is this option is better that the normal 32 bits 64bit AMD and Intel computers
[11:21] <Armitage> Hey, can anyone please tell me how to connect to the internet through my Treo 680
[11:21] <serenityUK> Ubunter, ok well  hd0  means putting it on the MBR of the first drive,  which is normally what you want... you can install it on another partition but you should only do this for a reason
[11:21] <Armitage> ?
[11:21] <Ubunter> I do not want that GRUB overwrites my MBR (Master Boot Record)... instead, I want it to be installed into the first sector of a boot partition
[11:21] <Ubunter> how can i do that?
[11:21] <bjames> it's just that I installed Ubuntu 7.04 a few weeks ago and it came with 2.6.15/16 kernels
[11:21] <kornits> anyone have any ideas why my screen resolution is not seemingly supported
[11:21] <Ubunter> does the ubuntu installer has that option?
[11:22] <bjames> I have since compiled 2.6.22.3 but I'm having problems
[11:22] <silva_> i have display adapter  NVIDIA geforce mx8 64mb
[11:22] <bjames> namely with the package manager and ndiswrapper
[11:22] <kornits> i keep trying to add it into my xorg.conf file, but it does not seem to take effect
[11:22] <silva_> how install
[11:22] <kornits> what am i doing wrong
[11:22] <kornits> ?
[11:22] <PriceChild> bjames, we don't support custom kernels in this channel because of those problems :)
[11:22] <bjames> it would be nice if there was an update kernel option somewhere in Ubuntu
[11:22] <nickrud> bjames, I have 2.6.20 in feisty?
[11:22] <bjames> it's not custom, just newer
[11:22] <bjames> lol
[11:23] <bjames> nickrud: how?
[11:23] <GNine> kaeden: i think there is some choices in synaptic about scientific type calc progs
[11:23] <bjames> did you compile yourself?
[11:23] <PriceChild> bjames, i suggest you downgrade back to the old kernel.
[11:23] <nickrud> bjames, it's the one that came with it.
[11:23] <Armitage> Can anyone tell me how to connect to the internet through my Treo 680
[11:23] <serenityUK> Ubunter, the grub numbering is zero based and means   (hd X, Y)    where X is the drive and Y the partition...  so (hd0,2)   would put it on the third partition
[11:23] <Armitage> ?
[11:23] <silva_> i have feisty 7.04
[11:23] <bjames> nickrud: why did your version come with a different kernel to mine?
[11:23] <bjames> I've tried booting into the other (older) kenrnel, but it's a bit screwey
[11:24] <EvilSpork> It kinda looks like max6650 may be in 2.6.21-rc5 and later
[11:24] <Ubunter> serenityUK, what about (hd0,1)  ??
[11:24] <Pingu_lady> anyone can help me with a compiz theme?
[11:24] <ratonn> ?: Anyone ever try connection to a wireless network with special characters in its ESSID? The one I'm trying to connect to has a french accent, and ubuntu fails to see it. Windows sees it.
[11:24] <serenityUK> Ubunter, that would be the second partition on the first drive
[11:24] <STixx> i downloaded nexuiz...but i  dont know how to exit the game..and it doesnt work that fast...it is EXTREMLY slow..
[11:24] <GNine> kornits: i think YOU didnt set all possible supported resolutions.. i did that manually by reconfiguring x-desktop.   just a suggestion
[11:24] <bjames> can anyone explain why 7.04 comes with different kernels?
[11:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Pingu_lady: try #ubuntu-effects
[11:24] <nickrud> bjames, you probably installed the particular kernel version, rather than the kernel meta package. Try installing linux-image-generic or linux-image-lowlatency
[11:25] <serenityUK> Ubunter, but you will need some way to call grub...  do you have another distro installed?
[11:25] <kornits> GNine: how do I do that?
[11:25] <bjames> nickrud: how?
[11:25] <Ubunter> yes
[11:25] <nickrud> bjames, sudo aptitude install linux-image-lowlatency
[11:25] <bjames> hmm
[11:25] <bjames> ok
[11:25] <bjames> :)
[11:25] <Ubunter> serenityUK, yes
[11:25] <evilofisho_> Jack_Sparrow: I just popped in the installation CD, am I supposed to like.. Make a clean install or 'Run upgrade'..?
[11:25] <thecross> hello.  I'm having some problems with my sound.  When I test the playback device in Sound Properties I get this error message "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not get/set settings from/on resource." I've tried getting new alsa drivers from a "fresh" kernel, but still no luck. any ideas would be much appreciated.  I've been working on this for the last 2 days, and I'm going insane!
[11:25] <nickrud> bjames, try dpkg -l 'linux-image*'
[11:25] <Pingviller> just a stupid question... what does linux-image-lowlatency do? :P
[11:25] <serenityUK> Ubunter, ok you can daisy chain them and have grub call another grub if that is your thing
[11:25] <gaten> I'm having trouble with the mysql-server package. It doesn't install a /etc/init.d/mysql file. i've tried to remove and purge it, then reinstall it but no go. any help?
[11:25] <empek> Hello :)
[11:26] <Ubunter> serenityUK, is (hd0,1) always the boot partition?
[11:26] <GNine> run sudo command from terminal :  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:26] <jerryrighter> hi there empek
[11:26] <serenityUK> Ubunter, no you can put it anywhere check carefully
[11:26] <Jack_Sparrow> evilofisho_: Use live cd to backup your var/cache/apt/archives... and anything else of importance... then full install
[11:26] <angryogre> Hey, should I use Beryl for Ubuntu 7.04? or is there something better?
[11:26] <Ubunter> serenityUK, is (hd0,1) the boot partition?
[11:26] <nickrud> Pingviller, apt-cache show linux-image-lowlatency will tell you better than I
[11:26] <Armitage> Can anyone tell me how to use Ubuntu 7.04 to access the Internet through a Treo 680?
[11:27] <evilofisho_> Jack_Sparrow: Alright, thanks again.
[11:27] <gaten> angryogre: compiz-fusion is better in mho
[11:27] <STixx> i downloaded nexuiz...but i  dont know how to exit the game..and it doesnt work that fast...it is EXTREMLY slow.....help?
[11:27] <GNine> dont change anything but the resolutions you want supported for ur monitor.. of course, u need to know what can your monitor support
[11:27] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[11:27] <serenityUK> Pingviller, the low latency kernel if favourite of musiction because it reduces the milliseconds of response time for their instruments  but it is not so good for serverse
[11:27] <Pingviller> nickrud: I'll try that one ;)
[11:27] <angryogre> gaten: how is it better?
[11:27] <Ubunter> serenityUK, is (hd0,1) always the boot partition if we say that ubuntu installer made the default layout?
[11:27] <vlt> Armitage: What's a Treo 680?
[11:27] <jerryrighter> yes angryogre compiz fusion is better but its unstable right now also
[11:27] <serenityUK> Ubunter, you can put it anywhere check carefully
[11:27] <vxxv> Error in terminal when launching an installer.sh -- "Permission Denied" -- Need to know how to circumvent this permission denied in order to install a game, (UT2004)
[11:27] <Ubunter> okay, anywhere
[11:27] <EvilSpork> Ah, hey, looks like Gutsy Gibbon will come with the driver I need... as incredibly lazy as this is, I think I'll wait for that then upgrade the whole distro. Yes... just to get one driver. I'm silly :D
[11:28] <gaten> angryogre: i find it more stable and much fast than beryl. and it is now the "new" beryl, as the compiz and beryl team have collaborated to create it
[11:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !sudo | vxxv
[11:28] <ubotu> vxxv: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:28] <GNine> vxxv:  maybe u need root priviledge
[11:28] <serenityUK> Ubunter, i have never done the default layout... and if you already have partition that will effect it... be carefull
[11:28] <AquaFox> What does the memtest do?
[11:28] <Pingviller> nickrud: but it didn't really give me any info what so ever :(
[11:28] <Pelo> AquaFox,  test you memory
[11:28] <gaten> AquaFox: it checks your memory for errors'
[11:28] <Pingviller> just alot of text which didn't make sense to me :P
[11:28] <vxxv> GNine -- Do I type "sudo linux-installer.sh" ?
[11:28] <AquaFox> And if it finds any errors?
[11:28] <Ubunter> serenityUK, never did the default layout? gee
[11:28] <Ubunter> :)
[11:28] <EvilSpork> That and nicer ntfs
[11:29] <GNine> not sure..
[11:29] <Pelo> AquaFox,  you get new memory, if you are lucky it is still under warranty
[11:29] <serenityUK> Ubunter, I have lots of things installed i justdo manuall and choose my partitions
[11:29] <nickrud> Pingviller, it gave you the most important: it depends on the latest low latency kernel, and just above it tells you exactly what that kernel is.
[11:29] <AquaFox> I have a laptop Pelo I can't get new memory.
[11:29] <Dougie> well that didn't work either
[11:29] <GNine> however, if u do run sudo and it goes thru.. then it works, right?
[11:30] <Pelo> AquaFox,  did you run memtest and get an error ?
[11:30] <Ubunter> serenityUK, are you a programer?
[11:30] <angryogre> gaten: what about a good assembly language?
[11:30] <gaten> angryogre: what do you mean?
[11:30] <AquaFox> Pelo no I got PCI: errors which were already in the bug repo of Ubuntu.
[11:30] <serenityUK> Ubunter, yes C++  i do 3D games stuff
[11:30] <nickrud> Pingviller, What that means :) is, if a newer kernel comes out, linux-image-lowlatency will also be rereleased; since you have it installed, it will be automatically upgraded, thereby pulling in the new kernel.
[11:30] <jerryrighter> aquafox u can too upgrade ur mem/ram  in a laptop its underneat in a little panel wella t least mine is
[11:30] <csc`> AquaFox: TRAITOR
[11:30] <Pingviller> nickrud: well, I have no idea what so ever of what that could be :P
[11:30] <Dougie> i think it may be because i'm using a different kernel
[11:30] <AquaFox> csc`, you idiot Arch doesn't boot on this shiz.
[11:30] <reya276> How can I fix this Error "Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory)"
[11:30] <Pelo> AquaFox, search the error in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[11:30] <Pingviller> nickrud: yeah, but what is it FOR? :P
[11:30] <angryogre> Just trying to find how to use an assembly language for ubuntu, and it's kinda confusing.....
[11:31] <csc`> AquaFox: then your shiz sucks
[11:31] <AquaFox> Thank you.
[11:31] <nickrud> Pingviller, oh, the lowlatency: it has some patches that are supposed to make the desktop more responsive
[11:31] <serenityUK> Pingviller, low latency  means quicker response  by milliseconds it is used my musicians on ubuntu studio to have a fast desktop but servers dont need it
[11:31] <gaten> angryogre: oh, check google. there are a couple good tutorials out there
[11:31] <vxxv> PROBLEM: bash: ./linux-installer.sh: Permission denied         ---- How do I launch this file?
[11:32] <Pelo> vxxv,   sudo chmod 777 linux-installer.sh   the install again
[11:32] <angryogre> yea, but I have no idea where to find where program to run what I read
[11:32] <Pelo> then
[11:32] <bruenig> or chmod 111 it
[11:32] <Pingviller> serenityUK: I don't use my laptop for any music except for listening :P if it would speed up my response times for accessing my desktop I'd be glad anyway though :)
[11:32] <vxxv> PELO -- can I talk to you in private?
[11:32] <Pelo> vxxv,  no
[11:32] <bruenig> would chmod 111 work I wonder
[11:32] <GNine> PCI errors , ok.. maybe u need to tell
[11:33] <reya276> How can I fix this Error "Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory)" ?
[11:33] <Pingviller> nickrud: well, sounds good on paper at least :P
[11:33] <Pelo> bruenig, should   1 = execute
[11:33] <GNine> vxxv:  u need to specify the entire path to the .sh file
[11:33] <vxxv> GNine - I am in that folder, will do so, though
[11:33] <bruenig> Pelo, ah it gives permission denied
[11:33] <jerryrighter> angryogre www.google.com how to install and run what ever it is u need =D that r the ubuntu forums might be ur best bet
[11:33] <Pelo> vxxv,  where is the linux installer file located ?
[11:33] <serenityUK> Pingviller, i wondered about that.. it's meant for realtime stuff like twiddling knobs but I don't know if it makes nomal use better
[11:33] <bruenig> Pelo, 555 works though, so I guess you need to be able to read it to execute it
[11:33] <reya276> Sorry, I tried to run Samba from the start menu and I got this error" Failed to execute child process "su-to-root" (No such file or directory)". How can I fix it
[11:33] <Pelo> bruenig,  maybe it needs to read before executing
[11:33] <kornits> ok... well i am at the section gnine where it asks me about resolutions, some have asterisks next to it, and others don't. I am not sure how to add asterisks to the ones that don't have it
[11:33] <nickrud> Pingviller, true. I run it because low latency was shiny and new once, now it's entrenched :)
[11:33] <vxxv> Pelo /home/v/Files/UT/linux-installer.sh
[11:34] <Pelo> vxxv,    cd /home/V/Files/UT
[11:34] <Pingviller> serenityUK: cool :) I do have some lag when my Amarok is displaying the new song list :P it's a slow laptop so I don't really blame it, but is there any cons for installing that package?
[11:34] <nickrud> seems likely a file needs to be readable to be executable
[11:34] <angryogre> yea, been lookin all over, not much
[11:34] <FFForever1> PhilKC, are you there?
[11:34] <AquaFox> When I boot I get a /bin/sh: can't access tty;
[11:34] <GNine> use the cursor .. hightlight and press space bar.. as long as u see the option as selected ...
[11:35] <AquaFox> job ccontrol turned off
[11:35] <Pelo> vxxv,  sudo chmod 777 linux-installer.sh      then      sudo ./linux-installer.sh
[11:35] <AquaFox> CD boot I mean.
[11:35] <nickrud> Pingviller, none that I know of
[11:35] <serenityUK> Pingviller, that would probably be the HD.. laptop HDs are slower to save power/size
[11:35] <FFForever1> is there an irc op here?
[11:35] <gaten> angryogre: http://asm.sourceforge.net/resources.html#tutorials
[11:35] <Pingviller> serenityUK: true.. :P
[11:35] <kornits> oh ok... do i need to restart for changes to take effect?
[11:35] <Pelo> FFForever1,  they are probably hidding , what do you need ?
[11:35] <Pingviller> nickrud: then I might as well try it out and see if it does anything :)
[11:36] <AquaFox> /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off <-- Anybody?
[11:36] <FFForever1> i need to reset my password (lol) kinda forgot it............
[11:36] <serenityUK> hardisks are the slowest part of the computer... apart from printers lol
[11:36] <vxxv> PELO -- life saver.
[11:36] <Pelo> FFForever1,  are you logged in right now ?
[11:36] <FFForever1> no
[11:36] <Pelo> vxxv,   snce I was 16
[11:36] <Pelo> FFForever1,  join  #freenode you need a network admin
[11:37] <Pingviller> nickrud: I guess it should start working right away? :)
[11:37] <nickrud> Pingviller, no, it'll be a new kernel entry on your grub boot menu
[11:37] <Pingviller> nickrud: ok I've only been on Feisty for a week ;) what does that mean exactly? :)
[11:37] <serenityUK> Pingviller, you need to reboot for kernel stuff
[11:37] <Pingviller> serenityUK: cool :)
[11:38] <demonspork> When I try to start tightvncserver -httpport 80 :3, it goes through a bunch of lines talking about how it can't start xtightvnc and then it gets a permission denied when it tries to ListenOnTCPPort
[11:38] <demonspork> why?
[11:38] <serenityUK> Pingviller, you should see a new option on the list when you boot
[11:38] <asdfasdfa> how do i access airsnort if i just apt-get install'd it
[11:38] <Pingviller> thanks both of you :) guess I'll notice if it does anything
[11:38] <bruenig> asdfasdfa, dpkg -L airsnort
[11:38] <Pelo> demonspork,  change the permission of that xtightvnc file
[11:38] <nickrud> Pingviller, when you reboot, you should see (after the bios splash) a list of possible kernels to run. There'll be a new one, low latency to go along with generic and windows (if you have that)
[11:39] <demonspork> Pelo, what do I need to change it to?
[11:39] <Pelo> demonspork,  try 755
[11:39] <tarelerulz> I intalled both libdvdcss2 and libdvdread3 I still can't play my dvd . What am I missing
[11:40] <Pelo> tarelerulz, review the instructions
[11:40] <Pelo> !dvd | tarelerulz
[11:40] <ubotu> tarelerulz: 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
[11:40] <demonspork> tightvncserver runs fine when I use a port like 8080?
[11:40] <Pingviller> nickrud: I'm only using windows for my internet-bank, and got a VirtualBox-machine for that part ;)
[11:40] <btorio> ummm... i just tried to restart my ubuntu box.... and all i get is a mouse and white screen
[11:40] <btorio> what can i do to fix this
[11:40] <Spee_Der> Good evening everyone.
[11:41] <demonspork> Pelo, where is xtightvnc?
[11:41] <serenityUK> welcome Spee_Der
[11:41] <nickrud> Pingviller, vmware for me ;P
[11:41] <jerryrighter> ello there spee_der
[11:41] <Pingviller> nickrud: works too I guess ;)
[11:41] <Pelo> btorio,  boot recovery mode  sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:41] <Pelo> demonspork,   locate  xtghsgtdfljrwekrwer whatevere
[11:41] <Pingviller> nickrud: I just tried VirtualBox first and was happy with the solution, so I don't have any reason to switch :)
[11:41] <btorio> pelo: how do i boot into recovery mode
[11:41] <Pelo> btorio, reboot,  from the grub menu select recovery mode
[11:41] <Dougie> i'm using kernel 2.6.20-16-realtime and the udf patch is for kernel 2.6.20-15-generic you think that makes a difference?
[11:42] <demonspork> Pelo? what
[11:42] <serenityUK> nickrud, VirtualBox is open source.... but VM is sweer
[11:42] <serenityUK> sweet*
[11:42] <Pelo> demonspork,   in the terminal   locate filename
[11:42] <demonspork> it doesn't do anything
[11:42] <Pingviller> I'm guessing VM got it's perks
[11:43] <Pingviller> but until I feel VB is missing something I won't have a reason to try it ;)
[11:43] <nickrud> serenityUK, true. I chose it on ratings; I subscribe to the 'use open source except when it's not good enough for a critical system'
[11:43] <demonspork> Pelo, it doesn't do anything
[11:43] <Pelo> demonspork,  that is because you donT' have that file on your computer   which would explain why you can'T start it ,   so a search in synaptic and install it
[11:43] <nickrud> *yet
[11:43] <btorio> Pelo, what should I do to configure X... i jst tried to do it before the problem
[11:43] <jerryrighter> serenityUk what exactly is the dif with vm and virtual box dont they both do the same thing? and i hear vm is slower then Vbox
[11:43] <Pelo> btorio, select vesa
[11:44] <serenityUK> Pingviller, VM is a private company so it is polished, but VirtualBox is open source
[11:44] <Pingviller> serenityUK: private doesn't always mean good ;) just look at MS ;P
[11:44] <steff> hi all
[11:44] <nickrud> Pingviller, you took the words out of my mouth :)
[11:44] <serenityUK> welcome
[11:44] <jerryrighter> hi steff
[11:44] <steff> hi :)
[11:44] <Spee_Der> Hello steff
[11:44] <demonspork> Pelo, I can start the server successfully on other ports
[11:44] <steff> hi :)
[11:44] <Pingviller> nickrud: ;)
[11:45] <phenom> VMware owns. :) Anything else is blasphemy.
[11:45] <GNine> btorio, the complete commad looks like :    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:45] <Pelo> demonspork,  I don'T know anyting abotu vnc , I was just giving you some general advice
[11:45] <Pingviller> <-- happy blasphemer
[11:45] <serenityUK> jerryrighter, VM works on windows too,   VirtualBox is just for linux i think
[11:45] <Dougie> i'm using kernel 2.6.20-16-realtime and the udf patch is for kernel 2.6.20-15-generic you think that makes a difference?
[11:45] <Pingviller> serenityUK: correct :)
[11:45] <Paddy_EIRE> serenityUK: I always found VMWare to be very fisherprice
[11:46] <steff> bye all
[11:46] <btorio> umm that command isn't working
[11:46] <tarelerulz> Pelo I install libdvdcss2 and I can't play dvds .  What player does that work for .  Maybe I don't have the right player to use that
[11:46] <nickrud> btorio, if yo don't want to wade through a lot of redundant settings, use sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[11:46] <jerryrighter> ah so wouldnt that mean that vbox would be faster then vmware then.       serenityUK?
[11:46] <btorio> it started into a command line interface
[11:46] <Paddy_EIRE> !dvd | tarelerulz
[11:46] <ubotu> tarelerulz: 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
[11:46] <GNine> if ur using a pci device u better read the error report and figure out where it is located
[11:46] <Spee_Der> btorio, what is the trouble with X please ?
[11:46] <btorio> and after typing it in it just gives me info about dpkg
[11:46] <Pelo> tarelerulz,  should work for all of them ,  but totem doesn't work well with dvd,  try mplayer vlc or xine
[11:46] <GNine> integrated video is a default as far as i could tell
[11:47] <nickrud> lol, fisherprice
[11:47] <btorio> Spee-Der, at first it was not showing all my screens resolution
[11:47] <serenityUK> jerryrighter, VirtualBox is opensource based on old QEmu but using the Intel VT instructions for hardware accelleration
[11:47] <btorio> so i reconfigured x
[11:47] <Spee_Der> Ok
[11:47] <btorio> and restarted
[11:47] <btorio> then it showed a white screen with a mouse but nothing else
[11:47] <Pingviller> oh another stupid question :D
[11:47] <Pingviller> what does fisherprice mean? :P
[11:47] <Spee_Der> btorio, did you edit xorg.conf ?
[11:48] <Pingviller> I'm usually up to date about english expressions but that one is over my head
[11:48] <OntzA> but does VirtualBox have USB support?
[11:48] <serenityUK> jerryrighter, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_machines
[11:48] <Paddy_EIRE> Pingviller: cheap and nasty... eye candy for children
[11:48] <Spee_Der> btorio, or should I say, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:48] <nickrud> Pingviller, a nearly indistructible educational toy company
[11:48] <Pelo> btorio,  reconfigrue it again,  pick vesa for a driver,  select the default suggested for everythign else, and then come back and we'll tell you how to get your extra resolution
[11:48] <phenom> blasphemy..
[11:48] <jerryrighter> thnks serenityUk looking at it now
[11:49] <OntzA> I see in that comparison that it has USB, is it USB 2.0?
[11:49] <Pingviller> so how is it used? this stuff is soooo cool, it's totally fisherprice?! :P    ?
[11:49] <serenityUK> jerryrighter, if you are going to try VM use VMServer because it supports SMP  (dualcore)
[11:49] <Paddy_EIRE> kvm and qemu
[11:49] <Pelo> Pingviller,  fisherpirce is a toy company,  they make very tought products, and on the whole their electronics are very relaiable and much more highend then you would expect
[11:49] <Paddy_EIRE> :D
[11:50] <nickrud> Pingviller, I think it's a matter of perspective: simple enough for a child, I think is the intersection here
[11:50] <phenom> just,, just blasphemy. VMware is the best,,, ONLY tool to use to analyze vulnerable environments/viruses and the like. VMware is an admins best friend. :)
[11:50] <GNine> it would help if you knew your hardware type , btorio
[11:50] <jerryrighter> ah cool ok thanks serenityUK ill keep that in mind
[11:50] <Pingviller> nickrud: ah thanks :) I'm a sucker for language-usage :P
[11:50] <ironmatar> ok serenityUK i tried the installer command in terminal and the cd directiory change and list commands and tab complete works there however it gave me a instller fail message as still running a X app  xorg?
[11:50] <Pingviller> Pelo: thanks to you too :P
[11:50] <btorio> my graphics card is an Intel Q965/Q963
[11:50] <nickrud> Pingviller, I also. I drive friends nuts
[11:51] <btorio> Dell Optiplex 745
[11:51] <xero9364> Anal retentive women.
[11:51] <Pingviller> nickrud: cheers for driving friends nuts :D
[11:51] <PriceChild> xero9364, not in here
[11:51] <serenityUK> ironmatar, yes that is why the init.d thing to drop to text mode
[11:51] <Bucketface> hello!
[11:51] <tarelerulz> I installed to different thing to play dvd and they don't work .  So I am at lost and I did need the intructions .

[11:51] <Bucketface> I am in hte middle of isntalling Ubuntu
[11:51] <opoho> Hi people I have a question, I'd like to know how to convert flacs into oggs without losing additional metadata
[11:51] <ironmatar> the gdm stop command just dros me totaly out of desktop and nothing works there

[11:51] <Bucketface> What should I choose when creating a partition for a dual boot
[11:52] <Bucketface> ?
[11:52] <nickrud> phenom, rlfol
[11:52] <btorio> 1440x400 max resolution
[11:52] <btorio> 60hz
[11:52] <OntzA> tarelerulz: to play DVD-Video use xine
[11:52] <serenityUK> ironmatar, but you just do the same thing as in the terminal
[11:52] <ironmatar> i did and got nada
[11:52] <GNine> 1440x400?  whew.. i dont even think thats .. possible
[11:53] <Pelo> Bucketface, step back to the desktop ,  open ghe partition manager in  the admin menu ,  resze yoru exsisting windows partition to make some space availabe  and use that when you install
[11:53] <jerryrighter> tarelerulz u could also use VLC in synaptics to play dvds also i find it better for movies then xine
[11:53] <Bucketface> ohhhhhhhhhh
[11:53] <Paddy_EIRE> GNine: yeah it is... I have seen much highier
[11:53] <osmosis> can anyone verify if this is fixed in gutsy?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/42532
[11:53] <Pelo> Bucketface, I'm told the installer can do it but I've never see the screen in question and I rather do it before where I can check and make sure
[11:53] <nickrud> pretty narrow screen
[11:53] <uavstrebe> anyone have experience with component video to usb adapter?
[11:53] <GNine> nah.. high is 1600x1260
[11:53] <PriceChild> !gutsy | osmosis
[11:53] <ubotu> osmosis: Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 2007) | It is development software, as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1
[11:53] <Bucketface> okay, that's cool.
[11:54] <OntzA> the best program to play movies is mplayer
[11:54] <GNine> 1440x400 is bs
[11:54] <Iamroot> !u | GNine
[11:54] <ubotu> GNine: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.  If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you".  The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..
[11:54] <serenityUK> ironmatar, you are doing lowercase LS  not 1S aren't you?
[11:54] <ironmatar> ls
[11:54] <serenityUK> ls for list
[11:54] <Iamroot> it's pronounced ell ess
[11:54] <ironmatar> and right
[11:54] <Iamroot> and list
[11:55] <Bucketface> So... resize my windows partition, and leave 20GB free space for Ubuntu, and do I need to do anything else?
[11:55] <Iamroot> Bucketface: Delete Windows partition. You won't miss it.
[11:55] <nickrud> Bucketface, a swap partition, rough 1.5 to 2 times your ram
[11:55] <Bucketface> Dude
[11:55] <Bucketface> I need the stuff from my windows D;
[11:55] <Bucketface> I want dual boot.
[11:55] <Bucketface> okay.
[11:55] <Pelo> Bucketface,  you migh want to defrag and back up before resizing just in case but no not realy,  select guided whn you install and tell it to use the unalocated space
[11:55] <ironmatar> so i dont know whats wrong or what im doig wrong
[11:56] <Pelo> Bucketface, ubuntu will install a boot menu so you can dual boot
[11:56] <Bucketface> I have defragged it alreayd :D
[11:56] <Bucketface> Yup.
[11:56] <Bucketface> Grub
[11:56] <Iamroot> Grub is yummy.
[11:56] <ironmatar> with choclet
[11:56] <Pelo> Bucketface,  then quit fooling around and get to it :)
[11:57] <teddy_> #join gentoo
[11:57] <sid> http://rafb.net/p/EVWA9e40.html Is it possible to make this camera work in Ubuntu?
[11:57] <Iamroot> Pelo, Bucketface, indeed. What he said.
[11:57] <Pelo> teddy_,  /join #gentoo
[11:57] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  what happens when you type ls??
[11:57] <ironmatar> i get a  new blank line
[11:57] <Iamroot> serenityUK: I get a list of all the files in my current working directory.
[11:57] <btorio> well i chose all the default options, and now everytime i turn on my computer it starts to load (i hear the sound of it entering the login screen) but my monitor tells me the optimized video mode is 1440x900 60hz, and no image is displayed
[11:57] <hommal> how do i open gconf?
[11:57] <ironmatar> in termina i get proper lists
[11:57] <nickrud> ironmatar, what do you get when you type pwd
[11:58] <PriceChild> hommal, gconf-editor
[11:58] <Pelo> hommal,   terminal  gconf-editor
[11:58] <teddy_> thx Pelo..I like Ubuntu too..It is my main workstation at work!
[11:58] <PriceChild> hommal, you don't open gconf... you edit it
[11:58] <Bucketface> So how much is 20GB in MiB? Like 25,500?
[11:58] <neverblue> MenInBlack?
[11:58] <btorio> 20,000MB
[11:58] <jcfiala> Oooh.  Good guess.
[11:58] <serenityUK> ironmatar,  do you have a long prompt such as   root@machine>    or a little one like #

[11:58] <Iamroot> neverblue: Mebibytes.
[11:58] <phenom> Bucketface: I'd spring for another hd and back everything up first. I've never heard an admin say they have never messed up partitioning. Make sure TO install grub as a boot loader, or your going to have problems.
[11:58] <hommal> "Open the gconf-editor, and go to apps->gnome-btdownload->settings."
[11:58] <nickrud> isn't MiB 1000 vs 1024 ?
[11:58] <Pelo> ppl keep telling me they like ubuntu as if I made it
[11:58] <hommal> thats what i want to do

[11:59] <ObeLisK_12183> can somebody help me please?=D  on this site here:  www.pennergame.de/ref.php?uid=12183
[11:59] <Pingviller> Bucketface: usually when calc'ing that I just add 5% and hope it's about right
[11:59] <ObeLisK_12183> thanks =)
[11:59] <Bucketface> what do you mean? Install grub as a boot loader, I've not even installded ubuntu yet!
[11:59] <jcfiala> Nice to meet you all - I've just installed ubuntu at work, and spent what felt like two hours trying to get skype to work... which I eventually did.
[12:00] <Iamroot> ObeLisK_12183, are you a spambot?
[12:00] <Pelo> ObeLisK_12183,  it's not a good idea to just post a link,  tell us what it is about first
[12:00] <emeriste> When you install ubuntu it installs grub for you.
[12:00] <Iamroot> LOL PWNED
[12:00] <serenityUK> it's spam Pelo he was here before
[12:00] <PriceChild> serenityUK, Pelo one second....
[12:00] <Pelo> PriceChild, ?
[12:00] <PriceChild> ahh didn't notice his kline
[12:00] <Bucketface> great
[12:00] <PriceChild> was just about to ban :)
[12:01] <Pelo> oh
[12:01] <hommal> pelo, what do you mean by "terminal gconf-editor"? there's even a wikipedia entry on the gconf-editor without saying how to open it - LOL! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gconf-editor
[12:01] <serenityUK> PriceChild, it was a different name last time
[12:01] <btorio> well my xorg.conf file is probably so messed up by now
[12:01] <Iamroot> PriceChild: That's a gaming site that he spammed. He just tried to get more d00ds
[12:01] <btorio> it still isn't working
[12:01] <lynucs__> my dvd-burner is pretty slow.. it burns dvd's with x0.8-1.6 speed.. no matter which tool.. it is an IDE drive, but emulated as a scsi drive. kernel 2.6.20. hdparm doesn't give any info, i guess becaseu of scsi. can anyone help??
[12:01] <Iamroot> lol
[12:01] <btorio> i tried reconfiguring it
[12:01] <Pelo> hommal,  open a terminal window  type gconf-editor  ...
[12:01] <btorio> i selected all the default options
[12:01] <rithien> ok, i need some serious help getting ubuntu installed lol
[12:02] <btorio> rithien: what's up?
[12:02] <Iamroot> rithien: Okay. Where are you stuck?
[12:02] <Bucketface> New size for window's partition is 91500MiB, that leaves 22971 MiB for other parrtitions go time :D?
[12:02] <ironmatar> if you would link that guide to nvida driver install i think i need to do some reading
[12:02] <hommal> pelo :-) ah, ok thanks!
[12:02] <Iamroot> Bucketface: You'll regret keeping Windows.
[12:02] <phenom> Bucketface: when you install ubuntu you will see the option to install grub as master bootloader?? I believe,, any way "yes".. Windows is probably installed as primary in the MBR and will boot right to windows.
[12:02] <rithien> well, i have a custom built desktop, with an nvidia 8800 gts (no built in graphics card)
[12:02] <Pingviller> Bucketface: that's how I started... then I ended with a full reformat to ext3 and adding a VirtualBox for my Windows-stuff
