[12:02] <bruenig> sabgenton, I will say no as I haven't a clue what you are talking about
[12:02] <sabgenton> just curious
[12:02] <sabgenton> never mind
[12:03] <sabgenton> :)
[12:03] <kanuha> is there a fix for the compiz cube problem?
[12:03] <sharperguy> are there andy issues with the low latency kernel that mess up skype?
[12:03] <deramin> I need the rt2500 wireless driver. I got the source from the package manager, and followed the readme, but rt2500.ko failed to build and I got [module]  Error 1. Does anyone know what I can do to get this driver working?
[12:04] <bruenig> that damn error 1
[12:04] <bruenig> that's a tough one
[12:04] <arctic01> hello. I installed Ubuntu 7.04 on y laptop some days ago and updated the whole system. Now the harddisk partition is broken, the system is completely unable to boot. Is this a known problem or am I simply unlucky?
[12:04] <scok> hi
[12:05] <arctic01> i feel that one packages of the updates has messed up my system
[12:05] <matozoid> hi all any idea how I can try the cube effect of compiz? what keys to press?
[12:05] <deramin> arctic01: how did you determine the partition is broken?
[12:05] <bruenig> arctic01, package updates won't break your partition table I am pretty sure
[12:05] <ompaul> arctic01, seems unlucky and more to the point when you say upgrade was it an attempt to get 7.10?
[12:06] <arctic01> deramin: because i found this out using dsl. it reported a broken partition table on two of three partitions
[12:06] <PriceChild> matozoid, ctrl+alt+ drag mouse 1.... further help in #ubuntu-effects please
[12:06] <erUSUL> deramin: did you instaled the kernel-headers? 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)'
[12:06] <arctic01> ompaul: no, regular 7.04 updates
[12:06] <kanuha> matozoid,  control+alt and mouse
[12:06] <deramin> erUSUL: yeah, they're there
[12:06] <matozoid> kanuha: PriceChild: thx
[12:06] <ompaul> arctic01, that should _never_ break your disk - is your disk borked?
[12:07] <diogo_> weird. what am I doing here?
[12:07] <arctic01> nope, it is not borked. it is pretty new, all other OSs work perfectly. just to point out, I am not a linux noob
[12:07] <erUSUL> deramin: i run a custom kernel and compile the drvers found here http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Downloads
[12:07] <arctic01> just wondered if there were massive reports of broken partition tables
[12:07] <erUSUL> deramin: the cvs-hourly tarball for rt2500
[12:08] <deramin> ok, well, the reason I was using the package manager is that compiling really confuses me
[12:09] <zlaptopx> hey im having a little troube with installing ubuntu, some which I have fixed but the one which I can't is that when I go to install it from the live CD it only allows me to install it on the entire HDD (even when trying manually) so is there anything I can do to create the partition before the install?
[12:09] <bruenig> deramin, compiling just requires you to run scripts
[12:09] <arctic01> I guess I have to reformat and reinstall...
[12:09] <erUSUL> deramin: well i thought that ubuntu kernels have ralink support built in doesn't work for you?
[12:10] <PriceChild> erUSUL, they do
[12:10] <deramin> no. it doesn't work.
[12:11] <erUSUL> deramin: well the ones in the page i paste should compile fine if you have build-essential and the kernel-headers
[12:11] <deramin> well, huh, it seems to think it has a wireless card, and it shows a wireless network up in the network dohack, but it won't connect to a network I know is working
[12:11] <slim100> zlaptopx:- some live d's have gparted on them so do it before install
[12:11] <barbarella> deramin:is it an usb, pci or pcmcia device?
[12:12] <slim100> *cd's
[12:12] <albertmk> What do you guys think about VMWare for Linux?
[12:12] <albertmk> Does it work okay?
[12:12] <OPTIMusprime1212> works fine
[12:12] <Falstius> albertmk: works fine ... do you mean using linux as the server or client?
[12:12] <VSpike> albertmk: works for me
[12:12] <deramin> barbarella: pcmcia
[12:12] <barbarella> albertmk:the player you mean?
[12:12] <albertmk> using linux as client
[12:13] <albertmk> Cause I want to run windows under linux
[12:13] <Anlar> of course vmware works.
[12:13] <EpochWolf> hello, I'm getting a frequency out of range warning on my LCD with the Live CD
[12:13] <albertmk> all right then
[12:13] <barbarella> deramin:there is your issue
[12:13] <Falstius> albertmk: the OS in the VM is the client.
[12:13] <EpochWolf> And I an using safe graphics mode
[12:14] <albertmk> so why to use Wine when you can run VMWare?
[12:14] <aurelien> hello
[12:14] <erUSUL> !vmware | albertmk

[12:16] <barbarella> deramin:have you tried the 8390 module
[12:16] <VSpike> albertmk: I did that when I switched from windows, so I could keep using XP, Office, Activesync, ACDSee while I gradually found my feet and switched over
[12:16] <albertmk> I see
[12:16] <deramin> Badpenguin86: right click on an mp3, go to properties, and there should be a way to set the default player for that file type
[12:16] <albertmk> Can you run games with VMWare?
[12:16] <VSpike> albertmk: still have it for visual studio
[12:16] <DrNick1> albertmk: ish.
[12:16] <Ami1> hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[12:16] <VSpike> albertmk: nope.  Cedega is what you need for that
[12:16] <deramin> barbarella: no. where can I find that?
[12:16] <Badpenguin86>  /msg deramin Duh. lol thanks
[12:16] <albertmk> oh damn =] 
[12:16] <ompaul> !hi
[12:16] <ubotu> Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:16] <Ami1> hi all
[12:17] <deramin> Wine or Cedega are better for games. less slow
[12:17] <VSpike> Beginning to wish I'd kept ACDSee around though
[12:17] <emeriste> Wine is pretty slow on my computer.
[12:17] <Ami1> 
[12:17] <ompaul> Ami1, this is not a normal chat channel, it is purely for support of the ubuntu operating system, chatter in #ubuntu-offtopic

[12:17] <emeriste> Just running Yahelite (a yahoo chat client) on Wine is too slow. I cant imagine playing games on it.
[12:17] <Grungebunny> acdsee was good stuff
[12:17] <albertmk> Cedega is not free, omg!
[12:17] <VSpike> Neither digikam, gimp or gthumb will print photos correctly for me
[12:18] <albertmk> I already played Starcraft with Wine
[12:18] <apt_get> if i remove a file in a ext3 file system with SAMBA,  its possible to recover it?
[12:18] <albertmk> runs ok
[12:19] <deramin> Cedega works better for noobs like me, though XD and it's not that expencive
[12:19] <knightz> cansomebody help me with thiss gcc error?
[12:19] <GNine> emerist, you need a new puter
[12:19] <knightz> checking for C compiler default output file name...
[12:19] <knightz> configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[12:19] <barbarella> apt_get:no

[12:19] <erUSUL> knightz: install build-essential
[12:19] <DrNick1> knightz: sounds like there's something quite wrong with your build system :?
[12:19] <DrNick1> :/
[12:20] <DrNick1> after all, a C compiler which can't create executables is of rather limited use, really!

[12:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about undelete - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:20] <VSpike> How can I reset the whole font setup and installation on feisty to default settings?
[12:20] <DrNick1> VSpike: reinstall?
[12:21] <oldmonkey> ddd
[12:21] <VSpike> DrNick1: you mean certain packages?  If so, which ones?
[12:21] <oldmonkey> VPN
[12:21] <oldmonkey> VPN?
[12:21] <barbarella> apt_get:ext3 zeros out
[12:22] <DrNick1> err, well no, re-installing would solve  your problem :p  a quicker way however might be to remove your preferences folders from your home dir.
[12:22] <oldmonkey> Who can help me with VPN settings?
[12:22] <barbarella> openvpn!
[12:22] <VSpike> DrNick1: that would be a quicker way to a broken system, I think :)
[12:22] <DrNick1> well, it'd just reset them to default values
[12:23] <BrendanW> Is it possible to change my root/mainuser password?
[12:23] <oldmonkey> VPN
[12:23] <ompaul> !root | BrendanW
[12:23] <ubotu> BrendanW: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[12:23] <bruenig> BrendanW, which one, root or main user?
[12:23] <DrNick1> hence why if you want a clean desktop from a re-installed system if you've kept your home dir, just remove everything beginning in a dot and you have default settings for everything
[12:23] <VSpike> DrNick1: which preferences are you talking about?
[12:23] <Craft> I have an athlon64 desktop where the screen randomly goes white and the system locks up, usually it's when I'm working in firefox. I only have firefox, gaim and synergyc running. Is there a log somewhere that would dump data regarding these crashes?
[12:23] <knightz> ok trying
[12:23] <knightz> checking for C compiler default output file name...
[12:23] <knightz> configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[12:23] <Flannel> BrendanW: Your main user password isn't your root password.  You don't have a root password, nor do you want to set one.  To change your user password, just use `passwd`
[12:23] <knightz> shit sorry
[12:23] <bruenig> knightz, do which gcc
[12:23] <knightz> ok try build-ess*
[12:23] <knightz> ok
[12:24] <GNine> !passwords
[12:24] <ubotu> Forgot your password? Boot into recovery mode. What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords
[12:24] <ompaul> knightz, take it easy with the language, and install sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:24] <DrNick1> not sure quite which directory stores your font settings though... would be in your gconf somewhere i'd imagine
[12:24] <knightz> ok i did
[12:24] <DrNick1> sorry that isn't particularly helpful tho heh
[12:24] <BrendanW> Thanks guys, I got it.
[12:24] <BrendanW> I guess I was confused.
[12:24] <VSpike> DrNick1: It's more the system level font config I want to reset, not user level
[12:25] <DrNick1> i see.  what's happened with it then?
[12:25] <knightz> i got /usr/bin/gcc
[12:25] <matozoid> how do we enable mp3?

[12:25] <DrNick1> matozoid: we install extra plugins :)
[12:25] <mad_goldfish> Is there a command for accessing the XClipboard from the command line so I can pipe it into a script?
[12:25] <matozoid> thanks all :)
[12:26] <DrNick1> mad_goldfish: interesting question.  if anyone has the answer i'd be quite interested also...
[12:26] <matozoid> !mp3 | matozoid
[12:26] <aspire> hi... i added irc.spotchat.org server to kopete.. then when i restarted my pc... i could not connect to spotchat.org... kopete said it is offline... how do i make it online?
[12:26] <erUSUL> mad_goldfish: xclip ?
[12:26] <knightz> hm...
[12:26] <ompaul> matozoid, it is the same as the info you already have
[12:26] <DrNick1> aspire: contact the server admin and get them to fix whatever's making it offline?
[12:26] <SystemOverload> Yay, I am finally up and running on Ubuntu :D
[12:26] <matozoid> ompaul: :)
[12:27] <DrNick1> SystemOverload: congrats \o/
[12:27] <VSpike> well, I normally use kde, and the fonts are very odd.  Mostly way too large, in many things, although way too small in others.  They also sometimes suddenly decrease in size when I open a gnome app.  In Evolution, they are just random...
[12:27] <SystemOverload> I am used to windows, but so far this is nice.
[12:27] <DrNick1> VSpike: :S
[12:27] <SystemOverload> I just need to learn alot.
[12:27] <VSpike> DrNick1: and when I try to use gnome, I get a nasty error: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/131382
[12:27] <SystemOverload> I am trying to install the latest nivida drivers
[12:27] <mdious> SystemOverload:  just make sure you have fun with it ;)
[12:27] <DrNick1> SystemOverload: well, any problems with non-obvious answers, give people a shout in here :)
[12:27] <aspire> DrNick1: i use pidgin, the irc.spotchat.org is ok
[12:28] <deramin> barbarella: so after I run those commands, is there any setup I should do with the driver?
[12:28] <VSpike> DrNick1: I have a feeling they are all related, so I just wanted to go back to a default setup
[12:28] <SystemOverload> DrNick1, I wanted to install Beryl. On the website, it has alot of different files.
[12:28] <ritzcracker> hi
[12:28] <DrNick1> argh too many people talking to me
[12:28] <ritzcracker> can anyone help me with vpopmail
[12:28] <aspire> DrNick1: before i restarted my pc... irc.spotchat.org is ok
[12:28] <ritzcracker> I have it running but I can not seem to login to pop server
[12:28] <emeriste> How does a person become an expert about Ubuntu or Linux?
[12:28] <DrNick1> SystemOverload: 7.10 Gutsy will be out soon, that'll have Beryl by default if you want to save yourself some work just wait until that's out :)
[12:29] <SystemOverload> When do you think that will be out?
[12:29] <EvaLuaTe> 'The programs included with the ubuntu ....', this is showing whenever i login to my ubuntu install, is there a way to change this message for all users ?

[12:29] <ritzcracker> emeriste: trial and error :)
[12:29] <DrNick1> Gutsy's due in Oct
[12:29] <SystemOverload> Oh ok, thanks for the info
[12:29] <DrNick1> np
[12:29] <ompaul> !rtfm | knightz
[12:29] <ubotu> knightz: Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[12:29] <GNine> SystemOverload, this is better than windows .. in my experience
[12:29] <emeriste> There's so much to know.
[12:29] <erUSUL> mad_goldfish: xclip -o shold output the contents of the Xclipboard to stdout
[12:30] <knightz> okok
[12:30] <SystemOverload> I am just having a problem installing the latest nivida drivers and setting my resolution
[12:30] <rog-mahal_> can anyone here help me with some xchat problems?
[12:30] <emeriste> It's almost overwhelming I think. To try to really understand Linux.
[12:30] <SystemOverload> GNine, I agree.
[12:30] <ompaul> knightz, we give full info - or urls or nothing :)
[12:30] <emeriste> I'm not saying just being able to use Linux. That's quite easy.
[12:30] <deramin> emeriste: the official Ubuntu book is very handy if you're willing to pay $35 for a tome of knowledge that's all on the internet (though not as nicely presented on the internet)
[12:30] <EvaLuaTe> so, could anyone please tell me where to find/change the welcome message that displays when a users logs in to the install ?
[12:30] <SystemOverload> I downloaded the latest release for the nivida drivers.
[12:31] <SystemOverload> it is a .run file
[12:31] <mdious> EvaLuaTe:  check /etc/motd
[12:31] <ritzcracker> evaluate: /etc/motd
[12:31] <DrNick1> emeriste: there is professional qualifications you can get if you're looking to prove you can admin' a linux box or set of boxen well... LPI certification is what you need if you want the bit of paper
[12:31] <deramin> SystemOverload: look up Envy. finds and installs the drivers for you. it's wonderful
[12:31] <emeriste> I bought a book called, 'Beginning Ubuntu' by Keir Thomas. It is where my installation disk came from. It was quite good.
[12:31] <SystemOverload> Oh, awsome!
[12:31] <EvaLuaTe> mdious, thank you
[12:31] <SystemOverload> Thanks for letting me know
[12:31] <erUSUL> !envy | SystemOverload
[12:31] <ubotu> SystemOverload: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[12:31] <GNine> by now i wouldve rebooted windows 150 times since i installed ubuntu.
[12:31] <SystemOverload> :D
[12:31] <erUSUL> !nvidia | SystemOverload
[12:31] <ubotu> SystemOverload: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:32] <SystemOverload> I just reformatted and installed Ubuntu about 20 minutes ago
[12:32] <mdious> EvaLuaTe:  not sure if it will help as mine has the output of uname -a by default...(I'm on 6.06 lts)
[12:32] <Pici> EvaLuaTe: /etc/motd.tail actually
[12:32] <Anlar> GNine: no idea, I've seen Windowses going for updates of several years.. you must have done something wrong then
[12:32] <GNine> nah.. windows is what was wrong
[12:32] <DrNick1> in terms of uptime, a linux server will sit there quite happy for several years before needing a reboot.
[12:32] <bulmer> GNine: you had everything right yesterday..you rebooted?
[12:32] <GNine> :-P
[12:33] <barbarella> emeriste:the best thing in opensource is that you can debug to solve the problem, wich you can't in windows/vista
[12:33] <GNine> i did not ask a question.  i was commenting about the volatility of windows OS
[12:33] <DrNick1> most of the time a reboot for a linux server is because of hardware problems like a stuck tape. otherwise it's to do with a kernel upgrade
[12:33] <savetheWorld> My grandma can't wait to debug...
[12:33] <EvaLuaTe> so, what's the difference between /etc/motd and /etc/motd.tail ?
[12:33] <rog-mahal_> can anyone here help me with some xchat problems?
[12:33] <GNine> which anlar seems to defend ...
[12:34] <rog-mahal_> i can't accept any xdcc transfers
[12:34] <SystemOverload> Well, I see like I would like to use gparted.
[12:34] <mdious> barbarella:  not to mention all the free tools out of the box to help troubleshoot...instead of having to pay to do the same thing on windows :(
[12:34] <Pici> EvaLuaTe: man motd.tail for information. It explains it better than I can.
[12:34] <SystemOverload> It comes in a .gz file, and when I extract it there are many files
[12:34] <EvaLuaTe> ok, thank you :)
[12:34] <SystemOverload> And like the source and things like that
[12:34] <SystemOverload> How do I go about installing it?
[12:34] <erUSUL> !synaptic | SystemOverload
[12:34] <ubotu> SystemOverload: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[12:34] <Pici> SystemOverload: gparted is in the Ubuntu repos, there no need to install it.
[12:35] <SystemOverload> Oh.
[12:35] <deramin> SystemOverload: it's in the add/remove thing
[12:35] <EvaLuaTe> No manual entry for motd.tail :/
[12:35] <SystemOverload> I see, thanks
[12:35] <SystemOverload> Sorry for all of these stupid questions.
[12:35] <mdious> what is motd.tail?
[12:35] <DrNick1> also its kind of a myth that the BSD's are more stable and/or offer better performance than a linux system.  in actual fact, the linux kernel is quite a bit more mature than the BSD's in many situations.  performance wise, OpenBSD is particularly horrible.  but then security comes first with them
[12:35] <Pici> EvaLuaTe: What version of Ubuntu are you on?
[12:35] <deramin> SystemOverload: there are no stupid questions when you're starting out.
[12:35] <EvaLuaTe> Pici: 7.04 server
[12:36] <Pici> EvaLuaTe: Odd: The  initiation script /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh prepends a line containing information about the  system  to  /etc/motd.tail  and  stores  the resulting  file  in  /var/run/motd.  /etc/motd  is  a  symbolic link to /var/run/motd (the system can not assume /etc to be writable).
[12:36] <Pici> EvaLuaTe: If /etc/motd.tail doesnt exist, just use /etc/motd like normal
[12:36] <EvaLuaTe> well, actually both of them exist, but they have pretty much the same content
[12:37] <deramin> I'm still having wireless trouble. is there a way to see what driver a device is trying to use? In all the "fixing" I've been doing for it, I'm afraid I may have misdirected it
[12:37] <Billy> !rpm | Billy
[12:37] <SystemOverload> If I would like to install Beryl, I just download the files and use the manager to install them?
[12:37] <preaction_> deramin, lsmod
[12:37] <SystemOverload> I need to download the core and all the other parts right?
[12:37] <heyadayo> hello
[12:37] <deramin> SystemOverload: use the add/remove installer. you may need to add repositories, but it's all there and easy to install
[12:38] <erUSUL> SystemOverload: beryl is in the repos too in universe you can use synaptic to install it
[12:38] <SystemOverload> Oh, thanks again :D
[12:38] <heyadayo> from a shell, how do I unblock mysql port 3306 for incoming connections?
[12:38] <deramin> preaction_: thanks, I'll try that
[12:38] <SystemOverload> BRB, I need to restart
[12:38] <greywhind> hi - i have a question on behalf of someone else. he's getting errors when trying to apt-get update. sources.list: http://rafb.net/p/h2swOh45.html apt-get update output: http://rafb.net/p/xOoACc24.html
[12:38] <barbarella> EvaLuaTe:it is more a debian issue for accurate information of what you want to display for users.
[12:38] <Xyhthyx> Hey everyone. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to hide the Desktop folder from your home folder?
[12:39] <knightz> exit
[12:39] <stian> does anybody have any experience with suspending a laptop under linux? (ubuntu 704)
[12:39] <mdious> Xyhthyx:  Why would you want to do that...I guess you could just delete it (not sure what the consequences of that would be though ;) )
[12:39] <stian> It seems to suspend fine, but when I wake it up, the screen remains black
[12:39] <mad_goldfish> erUSUL: Very cool, thanks.
[12:39] <EvaLuaTe> barbarella, well , i would just like to know what the difference between motd and motd.tail is and what i should edit
[12:39] <erUSUL> greywhind: usually this are temporary server side errors. Just wait a few hours and try again the update
[12:40] <erUSUL> mad_goldfish: no problem
[12:40] <Xyhthyx> mdious: It can't even be renamed heh.
[12:40] <deramin> preaction_: if the device I want is used by nothing, does that mean there's no driver yet for it?
[12:40] <ompaul> Xyhthyx, yeap but it would not be what you expect you will have no desktop at all
[12:40] <preaction_> deramin, or it means the driver isnt loaded
[12:40] <michael_> if i have everything working in ubuntu, ie video drivers installed. then can i just install the kde desktop (kubuntu) from synaptic and not have to reinstall drivers?
[12:40] <greywhind> erUSUL: i don't think that's the problem, since the file can be downloaded properly by hand, and it's been going on days.
[12:40] <mdious> Xyhthyx:  why do you want to get rid of it?
[12:41] <Xyhthyx> ompaul: Ok I figured that would be the end result.
[12:41] <barbarella> EvaLuaTe:you have to edit motd.tail
[12:41] <Travis> hmmm
[12:41] <demonspork> Is there any way to install an ubuntu system without modifying the Bootloader?
[12:41] <deramin> preaction_: how would I load a driver?
[12:41] <sirjoebob> anyone know how to launch a saved virtual box session at startup?
[12:41] <astro76> michael_, indeed, just install kubuntu-desktop package
[12:41] <Xyhthyx> mdious: No reason, I just don't use it.
[12:41] <preaction_> deramin, either modprobe or insmod
[12:41] <michael_> astro76 ok thnx
[12:41] <mdious> Xyhthyx:  can't you just delete it then?
[12:42] <erUSUL> greywhind: has he/she tried changing the mirrors?
[12:42] <deramin> ah. ok. hmm, I reallt seem to not have a pcmcia driver, then
[12:42] <deramin> ~really
[12:42] <neverblue> grats Pici
[12:42] <greywhind> erUSUL: what mirrors should he try?
[12:42] <Xyhthyx> mdious: Nope, it can't.
[12:43] <zlaptopx> what format should i make the partition of for ubuntu out of fat, fat32 or ntfs (only choices on vista)??
[12:43] <barbarella> demonspork:yes, than you have to install grub on the first sector of your partition...but you still need a bootloader
[12:43] <erUSUL> greywhind: anything but us ones maybe canadians or mexican (close to the us)
[12:43] <mdious> can anyone get to this link?  http://www.fedorasolved.org/network
[12:43] <barbarella> zlaptopx:fat32
[12:43] <Xyhthyx> mdious: Wait, apparently you can. Wonder my that folder had different permissions o_O
[12:44] <deramin> zlaptopx: fat32. but if you want to duel boot it with Vista, just leave an unalocated partition and the install with partition it
[12:44] <greywhind> erUSUL: where would i find the correct links for those, do you know?
[12:44] <mdious> Xyhthyx:  you got me interested, mine has the same permissions as the others in my home dir
[12:44] <sirjoebob_> anyone know how to launch saved virtual box session on startup?
[12:44] <ompaul> Xyhthyx, mdious please take that to pm and you can discover between you how to break your machine
[12:45] <sirjoebob_> anyone know how to launch saved virtual box session on startup?
[12:45] <erUSUL> greywhind: it will suffice to change all acuurrences or the us string to ca (for canadian) e.g 'deb http://us.archive....' will be 'deb http://ca.archive...'
[12:45] <sirjoebob_> (sorry for double post)
[12:45] <emmc> Hi guys... how could i take my /usr dir to another hd without destroy my actual configuration?
[12:45] <ompaul> !nickspam | ZioMiP^away
[12:45] <ubotu> ZioMiP^away: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines
[12:45] <shiznix`> hello
[12:46] <emmc> Hi guys... how could i take my /usr dir to another hd without destroy my actual configuration?
[12:46] <barbarella> emmc:man fstab
[12:46] <Meroigo> Where can I check the current usage of CPU and RAM, and also specific for different programs?
[12:46] <shiznix`> that's a secret
[12:46] <pvl> how can i find out what video card i have?
[12:47] <erUSUL> emmc: carefully ;P just make the new partition copy the files over (cp -a to preserve permisions iirc) and edit fstab to reflect ther changes
[12:47] <gerro> pvl: do lspci and see what it says about video cards
[12:47] <gerro> pvl: lshw for full information on hardware your using
[12:47] <mdious> erUSUL:  could you use dd also?  or is cp better for moving directories around?
[12:47] <erUSUL> Meroigo: top, htop, System>Admin>SystemMonitor
[12:47] <greywhind> erUSUL: according to a bug report I found, duplicate "feisty main restricted" and such in the sources.list could cause this kind of error. maybe if he comments out the deb-src lines?
[12:47] <deramin> Merigo: there's a monitor for the panel, and there's also the system monitor under System -> Administration
[12:47] <Itchy^HoBo> system > administration > system monitor
[12:47] <pvl> k ty gerro
[12:48] <gerro> pvl: sure no prob
[12:48] <erUSUL> mdious: dd can not copy dirs
[12:48] <emmc> so i copy my usr directory to my new partition and then i mount the link to the new config?
[12:48] <mdious> erUSUL:  ah sorry...I'm a retard
[12:48] <erUSUL> greywhind: deb-src are for source packages they should not interfere with deb lines
[12:48] <Meroigo> erUSUL, oh, there it was. :) thanks.
[12:49] <greywhind> erUSUL: true... that's what I  thought... but i'm having him try it anway
[12:49] <Epic0> how do i log in as ROOT?
[12:49] <EpochWolf> I'm getting a "Frequency out of range" message on my monitor when booting the LiveCD and I can't fix it.
[12:49] <Epic0> if i am the only user of this pc
[12:49] <erUSUL> emmc: then you mount the partition under /usr (with usr as mount point)
[12:49] <astro76> !root | Epic0
[12:49] <ubotu> Epic0: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[12:49] <barbarella> emmc:you have to set a linefor the /usr in the /etc/fstab file. If don right, i can't see any problems
[12:49] <mdious> I'm off, cya everyone
[12:50] <erUSUL> greywhind: yeah it will do no harm. if you want you can generate a fresh sources.list in source-o-matic
[12:50] <Epic0> i am trying to run win xp pro under vmware server
[12:50] <Epic0> i have everything set up
[12:50] <erUSUL> !source-o-matic | greywhind
[12:50] <ubotu> greywhind: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[12:50] <Epic0> look
[12:50] <greywhind> erUSUL: thanks
[12:50] <erUSUL> greywhind: no problem
[12:50] <deramin> EpochWolf: under System > Preferences > Screen Resolution, have you tried turning down the frequency?

[12:51] <EpochWolf> deramin, yes, doesn't work
[12:51] <deramin> EpochWolf: other than that, try rebooting and loading in safe graphics mode
[12:51] <T`> hi, i just upgraded y linux box and i have a non-smp kernel
[12:51] <T`> how do i make ubuntu use a smp one?
[12:51] <EpochWolf> deramin, I was in safe graphics mode :(
[12:52] <deramin> EpochWolf: nuts. I'm out of ideas then, sorry
[12:52] <bruenig> T`, run this in your irc client: /exec -o uname -a

[12:53] <bruenig> or don't

[12:54] <T`> so have 2 cores now
[12:54] <T`> its still using the same old kernel.. and apt-get update isn't getting the smp one
[12:54] <riaal__> Im trying to share my NFS to an mac running OSX, it mounts fine but says (Permission denied) works on my other linux computers, I have this flags (rw,sync,unsecure)

[12:55] <deramin> If I light this computer on fire, will it help me get pcmcia drivers? Failing that method, how can I get said drivers, particularly for a pcmcia wireless card.
[12:55] <erUSUL> !generic | T`
[12:55] <ubotu> T`: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[12:55] <T`> hmm
[12:55] <cdm10> T`: the generic kernel should support your 2 cores just fine. Also, apt-get update isn't designed to install new stuff based on hardware changes
[12:55] <barbarella> rexy:that's a lot off information
[12:55] <rexy> deramin what type of card
[12:56] <T`> cdm10, but i dont see more than one core in /proc/cpuinfo
[12:56] <deramin> rexy: Corega
[12:56] <rexy> barbarella,  eh?
[12:56] <barbarella> rexy:said 'ubuntu servers in trouble? wont load for me'
[12:56] <cdm10> T`: I'm not sure why that is... but apt-get update certainly won't fix it.
[12:56] <rexy> the browser connects but wont load
[12:56] <T`> well, do i need to pass some options to the kernel?
[12:56] <rexy> wondering if the servers are ddos'd
[12:56] <T`> i want both the cores to appear..
[12:57] <T`> that way i can use vmware and assign it one of the cores
[12:57] <rexy> deramin what type does lspci report
[12:57] <rexy> the manufacturer isnt important, the type of chip is
[12:57] <deramin> rexy: 0
[12:57] <GNine> i dont think thats an ubuntu question
[12:57] <skrov> has anyone here using rsync/grsync ?  i am having a problem with the --delete option which is causing all my destination files to get deleted (after the first sync) because it thinks those files are no in the source (even though they are),   i check the rsync manpage but i still have no clue why it cannot see those files in the source, any ideas ?  thanks
[12:57] <demonspork> barbarella, How do I do it?
[12:57] <xange> I got a new monitor, its a widescreen...how can I fix it so that X is right and the console is correct?
[12:58] <deramin> rexy: it's a ralink that uses the rt2500 driver
[12:58] <demonspork> barbarella, how do I install the ubuntu system without installing the bootloader?
[12:58] <cdm10> demonspork: every OS needs a bootloader.
[12:58] <rexy> did you get the drivers loaded?
[12:58] <cdm10> demonspork: do you mean you don't want the menu to show up?
[12:59] <demonspork> I don't want to install Grub with this in particular install
[12:59] <demonspork> I already have a bootloader to use
[12:59] <cdm10> demonspork: what bootloader?
[12:59] <rexy> demon install grub on the ubuntu partition
[12:59] <deramin> rexy: they should be built in, but they aren't working. I have tried to get them through the package manager and to compile them myself, neither of which have worked
[12:59] <T`> anyone here has a core duo cpu?
[12:59] <GNine> !resolution
[12:59] <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
[12:59] <rexy> then boot the ubuntu partition using your bootloader
[12:59] <greywhind> T`: I do.
[01:00] <rexy> deramin, what exactly isnt working
[01:00] <barbarella> demonspork:the question is asked when you install the system.
[01:00] <T`> greywhind, hi.. do you think you can tell me how many cpu's it list in /proc/cpuinfo?
[01:00] <barbarella> demonspork:yes, than you have to install grub on the first sector of your partition...but you still need a bootloader
[01:00] <greywhind> T`: sorry, but i'm booted into Mac OS X at the moment. i'm almost certain it lists both cpus, though
[01:00] <demonspork> bararella, so one of the options is "no boot loader"
[01:00] <T`> hmm ic
[01:00] <T`> strange
[01:00] <T`> i see only one
[01:01] <deramin> rexy: the network dohack up in the notification area sees the wireless network, but it won't connect. I know this network is working
[01:01] <cdm10> T`: you might want to check your kernel options, although I'm not sure what they should be.
[01:01] <barbarella> emmc:yes install grub, but on the first sector of the partition
[01:01] <rexy> deramin are you using native drivers or ndiswrapper?
[01:01] <rexy> and a wpa or wep network?
[01:01] <tombar> anyone here that frequently plays wow via wine is expiriencing problems after last kubuntu update?
[01:02] <pvl> uhm, my desktop icons wont show. and file explorer is frozen
[01:02] <riaal__> Im getting, "You do not have the right permission" when trying to brows a nfs share that I just mounted on an macbook, anyone have a clue?
[01:02] <riaal__> works fine on linux
[01:02] <cdm10> pvl: hint alt-f2, and type < nautilus -q >
[01:02] <deramin> rexy: I believe I am using native trivers, though I've failed to fix this from a driver end so many times I'm not sure what state they're in. lsmod has always indicated that there is no loaded driver for the pcmcia slot
[01:02] <cdm10> pvl: then, do it again, but do just < nautilus > this time
[01:02] <deramin> rexy: non-encrypted network
[01:03] <barbarella> demonspork:yes install grub, but on the first sector of the partition (sorry emmc)
[01:03] <cdm10> pvl: if < nautilus -q > doesn't kill nautilus, try < killall nautilus >
[01:03] <GNine> i used to play wow..  dont care for them greedy bastards anymore

[01:04] <sirjoebob_> i am running compiz-fusion with 5 desktops. anyone know how to set a cap to cover the full desktop?
[01:04] <mbaker> Anyone tried to use an 8000-series nvidia card with the Fiesty restricted drivers (1.0.9755)?
[01:04] <barbarella> demonspork:so you have 2 ubuntu systems installed?
[01:04] <sirjoebob_> i am running compiz-fusion with 5 desktops. anyone know how to set a cap to cover the full cap?
[01:04] <demonspork> barbarella, I want to have 2 installed
[01:04] <cdm10> sirjoebob_: sorry, that's not possible.
[01:04] <pvl> oo thanks
[01:05] <cdm10> sirjoebob_: caps can only completely cover 4-desktop setups
[01:05] <EpochWolf> fsckr, it's part of gnome
[01:05] <barbarella> demonspork:you have to be more accuret
[01:05] <rexy> well if the driver wont load that is the first place to investigate
[01:05] <sirjoebob_> bummer. guess i will use a cap with a solid bg. thanks for the help
[01:05] <pvl> cdm10 thanks, it worked
[01:05] <cdm10> pvl: no problem
[01:05] <rexy> did dmesg turn anything up?
[01:05] <fsckr> yes i know that much EpochWolf but why have like 20 instances of them
[01:05] <demonspork> barbarella: I just don't want the second install to install GRUB, I want it to be left to me to manually configure it using the already installed GRUB

[01:09] <rexy> you can then just boot ubuntu directly using your own loader, or boot the partition ubuntu is on
[01:10] <barbarella> rexy:demonspork left
[01:10] <mbaker> deramin: what nvidia version have you installed with Envy? Can't get 8300 or 8500 to work with repository drivers.
[01:10] <marko_> MeRodent, well i don't need a good one like that :)
[01:10] <ompaul> !envy | mbaker
[01:10] <ubotu> mbaker: 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!
[01:10] <MeRodent> I think the same drivers should work.
[01:10] <rexy> i have a 16Mb ati M6 mobility, heh, vroooooom
[01:11] <deramin> mbaker: I don't remember. whatever it first advised me to do. XD
[01:11] <omega21> hi there,
[01:11] <greywhind> rexy: heh. i've got an x1600 (128 mb) that i hate because it's ATI
[01:11] <omega21> I'm on fiesty, how do i get MP3 playback?
[01:11] <rexy> how can i disable joins/leaves in xchat

[01:11] <marko_> MeRodent, what are you sending me ?
[01:11] <bulio|> does anyone have a guide on installing compiz fusion on ubuntu?
[01:11] <rexy> close ompaul :P
[01:11] <Pici> omega21: See above for mp3 info.
[01:11] <mbaker> ubotu: I've tried the restricted drivers, but they don't recognize either the 8300 or 8500.  lspci shows them as unrecognized devices, and X-server complains that it can't read the GPU name.

[01:12] <Ralphman> Hi, I have a kubuntu Edgy system which seriously crashes when I try to print photos using photo-grid-print. ANyone give me tips on how to suss out what is going on? The hard drive hammers away for a while, the screen goes blank, then it becomes unresponsive. There is a core in /
[01:12] <mbaker> Pici: what does that mean?
[01:12] <marko_> MeRodent, i tryed that
[01:12] <greywhind> bulio|: alright. search for Ubuntu Feisty Compiz Fusion AIGLX (and maybe add "HOWTO" to that)
[01:13] <Pici> mbaker: You were replying to a bot. Its just spits out stuff when we do !commands
[01:13] <Pici> mbaker: i.e., its not a real person.
[01:13] <mbaker> Pici: got it, thanks.  first time here.
[01:13] <rexy> are the ubuntuforums down? they wont load for me
[01:13] <marko_> MeRodent, ups i didn't tryed it
[01:13] <marko_> i will it tomorow thanks
[01:13] <marko_> i hope it works :/
[01:13] <Pici> rexy: working here.
[01:13] <rexy> odd
[01:14] <gnomefreak> rexy: they open here
[01:14] <rebecca> hey, i need some help getting drivers to not load, i tried adding them to the blacklist but that doesnt seem to have worked, im trying to use ndiswrapper to get a ralink rt2500 wireless card working
[01:14] <rebecca> at the minute each time to get it working i have to do:
[01:14] <MeRodent> marko_ I followed the instrcutions step by step and worked immediately. (after 2 weeks of trying).
[01:14] <rexy> hhmm they work from a different computer just fine
[01:14] <crzyboon> Can someone tell me whether intelExtreme2 IGP will allow me to use beryl on ubuntu?
[01:14] <PriceChild> rebecca, why? that card works fine out of the box.
[01:14] <rebecca> not with wpa
[01:15] <PriceChild> crzyboon, should do yeah
[01:15] <PriceChild> rebecca, ok... well even then don't use ndiswrapper... i'm pretty sure there are other drivers you can use to get that going
[01:15] <rexy> not likely
[01:15] <rexy> i use ndiswrapper too to get wpa working
[01:16] <rebecca> i had a look and the ndiswrapper was what the wiki suggested PriceChild
[01:16] <rexy> is the driver spelled correctly in the blacklist
[01:16] <PriceChild> rebecca, hehe believe the wiki then.
[01:16] <chemturion> hey there, I need some help with getting my NETGEAR Mobile PCI card to work, i try to install the diver using nsid wrapper, but it says its already installed (though it dosn't show up on the list as being so) and it shows up in device manager as an unknown device
[01:16] <c01100011> is there a package around for a compiz tray icon ?
[01:16] <rexy> PriceChild, unless the native driver does wpa it's pointless to use
[01:16] <d1006> anyone know how to disable ARB_VBO in either xorg.conf(possible?) or Wine?
[01:16] <PriceChild> c01100011, #ubuntu-effects please
[01:16] <rexy> but appearantly the 23 kernel is going to bring better support
[01:17] <PriceChild> rexy, well we won't get that for another year in ubuntu
[01:17] <crzyboon> PriceChild, but still impossible if I were to install a different DE as in xubuntu, yes?
[01:17] <PriceChild> crzyboon, impossible?
[01:17] <Stev> ciao a tutti
[01:17] <crzyboon> I thought someone said in here earlier that the beryl installation is only possible once gnome is installed.
[01:17] <rexy> PriceChild, well 6 months, gutsy is going to do 22, so it's probably in the 8-4 release i suppose?
[01:17] <rebecca> i have to manually unload (rmmod) rt2500pci rt2x00lib mac80211 eeprom_93cx6 even though they are all listed in blacklist and spelt correctly... PriceChild and rexy
[01:17] <Pici> !it | Stev
[01:17] <ubotu> Stev: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[01:17] <pierre243> Hellooooooo
[01:17] <Stev> hem... hi
[01:17] <rexy> rebecca are you manually loading them somewhere perhaps
[01:17] <Stev> i've a problem with network-manager applet
[01:17] <rexy> and did you disable networkmanager?
[01:18] <EpochWolf> Stev, what's the issue?
[01:18] <crzyboon> PriceChild, of course you know by impossible i mean not ready out-of-the-box. i can't think of anything impossible when it comes down to linux ;)
[01:18] <pierre243> What Ubuntu do I need to download for a iMac ?
[01:18] <Stev> i can see wireless networks but cannot connect to them (with other programs everything works fine)
[01:18] <PriceChild> crzyboon, it should be ready out of the box... just start compiz
[01:18] <nickrud> rexy, is it generally true that ndiswrapper is necessary for wpa?
[01:18] <Stev> seems that it's all ok but dhcp :D
[01:18] <rebecca> nope, im using networkmanager, i want to use it rexy because this laptop is for a friend who doesnt like terminal
[01:18] <greywhind> pierre243: Intel or PPC?
[01:18] <EpochWolf> Stev, that's a driver issue.
[01:18] <Stev> if i manually run dhclient eth1 then it works
[01:18] <PriceChild> crzyboon, after an apt-get install of course
[01:18] <EpochWolf> Stev, which wireless card?
[01:18] <rexy> ah
[01:18] <chemturion> hey im having trouble getting my netgeat WN511T card to work, ive tried using NSIDwrapper but it says the driver is already installed
[01:18] <EpochWolf> Stev, oh.. interesting.
[01:18] <rexy> try disabling it anyway and see if that solves the problem
[01:19] <rexy> quite likely it loads the wrong drivers?
[01:19] <rexy> nickrud depends
[01:19] <pierre243> greywhind... That is mostly my question... For a friend
[01:19] <nickrud> rexy, not to put you on the spot or anything
[01:19] <Stev> 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)
[01:19] <rebecca> is there any other way to remove the modules rexy?
[01:19] <rexy> well you can move/delete them
[01:19] <pierre243> Power PC I guess
[01:19] <rebecca> rexy how do i delete them?
[01:19] <EpochWolf> Stev, nice... that card has decent drivers.
[01:19] <greywhind> pierre243: is the iMac a PowerPC iMac? released before 2007?
[01:19] <rexy> they are under the /lib/modules tree somewhere
[01:19] <rexy> they are named the same as in lsmod
[01:20] <crzyboon> and does ubuntu play nice with windows boot manager? i've already got XP and vista on the same PC- trying to see if a third one works- and what better candidate than ubuntu.
[01:20] <EpochWolf> Stev, I don't know what the issue would be..
[01:20] <Stev> EpochWolf: if i run dhclient then i get an ip and everythiong works but the "shape" on the applet keeps spinning and after a while it disconnects
[01:20] <Ralphman> Any help with a system crash would be - system fries when printing pictures....
[01:20] <rexy> nickrud that's ok, not sure about every driver, but the open source for my driver has no wpa support, just the windows driver has, hence i use that through ndiswrapper
[01:20] <MeRodent> chemturion: does ndiswrapper have the driver bound to the card?
[01:20] <ward_> how can i find out if my RAID controller is supported  by Feisty?
[01:20] <Stev> if i manually connect everything works (or if i use wifiradar)
[01:20] <EpochWolf> Stev, do you have any ethernet cables plugged in?
[01:20] <greywhind> pierre243: i mean before 2005
[01:20] <Stev> no
[01:20] <nickrud> rexy, ok, case by case. Thanks
[01:20] <chemturion> msrodent: how do I check?
[01:20] <Stev> not now :P
[01:20] <ward_> (asus a8v mainboard)
[01:20] <MeRodent> ndiswrapper -l
[01:20] <rexy> the core problem seems to be that the linux kernel in ubuntu does not yet have a wpa implementation and thus every driver for wireless cards has to do that themselves
[01:20] <greywhind> pierre243: ugh... wrong again. I really mean 2006.
[01:21] <rexy> so really the answer is, depends, some cards have native wpa support i think while others require ndiswrapper
[01:21] <Stev> seems that nm-applet forgets to get an ip :P
[01:21] <EpochWolf> Stev, okay, then just use a different method until someone can help you fix it. It's out of my experience

[01:22] <EpochWolf> Stev, no problem.
[01:22] <rexy> that's not old, thats ancient :D
[01:22] <pierre243> Well I thought that... But where ??? :(
[01:22] <ward_> erUSUL, thats software?
[01:22] <greywhind> Stev: i also had to disable networkmanager because it would fail to connect to networks, whereas dhclient connected correctly.
[01:22] <rexy> err where the iso's are there are also ppc versions

[01:22] <ubotu> rexy: PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ

[01:23] <GNine> dhcp
[01:23] <Stev> greywhind: i'm just trying to easily connect to a wpa network, but now i'm trying to get it working on an open network
[01:23] <rexy> Pricechild i didnt need that , really
[01:23] <EpochWolf> pierre243, ppc is for older apples
[01:23] <GNine> !dhcp
[01:23] <ubotu> dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP
[01:23] <Bjornalf> ward_: no it's a description of what cheaper motherboards pass off as "Raid Controllers"
[01:23] <rexy> though i didnt know support was dropped
[01:23] <pierre243> no ppc as such on download site
[01:23] <greywhind> Stev: i use iwconfig and dhclient through a terminal, since network-manager wasn't working. it seems fine.
[01:23] <BrendanW> How do I use the "broken" filter to find broken packets in my system?
[01:23] <PriceChild> rexy, and cds aren't with releases, they're now with ports

[01:25] <erUSUL> ward_: your moba has two chipsets the VIA and a promise one both supported by linux afaik. if you configured a raid volume trough bios you have to check if dmraid support your conf to access the volume

[01:27] <greywhind> hmm... seems ubotu hasn't updated itself for opendesktop.org yet :P
[01:27] <quantumflux> i know its not the router because I am currently running it through the computer i am on

[01:29] <quantumflux> i'm sorry, i've read them, i'm beyond the basics at this piont

[01:29] <Pelo> and be patient

[01:31] <Skrypt> ironmata1: What mate?
[01:31] <quantumflux> okay, so here goes.  My wireless can see that the connection exists but when i tell it to connect to it, it reads and reads and reads and never connects.  I know its working so do you know why it isn't connecting.  could it be the driver?
[01:31] <ward_> erUSUL, ok thanx, i'm not sure i'm just asking for a friend i'm at, he wants to intall ubuntu but wasnt sure about raid support for his controller
[01:31] <Pelo> Judg3_Dr34D,  you have to do that from the connection window , not form a channel
[01:31] <ironmata1> have you gotten eve running yet?
[01:31] <Bjornalf> have a question about multi monitors.. with nvidia drivers can i have 2 separate resolutions and screens? i need to set up a simple background to put terms with log tails on.. i also need to know how i tell it which screen is the main screen.. currently my CRT keeps grabbing control no matter which port it's on
[01:31] <ironmata1> grrr ant thats not my nick

[01:32] <Judg3_Dr34D> Pelo: i am using gaim and it doesn't seem to work

[01:32] <Pelo> Judg3_Dr34D,  maybe the ppl in #gaim can tell you how
[01:32] <cdm10> Pelo: it's #pidgin now
[01:32] <rexy> deramin did you google for your particular card and read the wifi docs?

[01:34] <cdm10> Judg3_Dr34D: I recommend using Xchat instead of Gaim, but if you do want to use gaim, I can show you how to use other IRC networks with it. That's probably the quickest solution, but Pelo is right to recommend Xchat.

[01:36] <rexy> rebecca, yes, the problem using ndiswrapper and wpa is that it's not loaded on demand as by network manager, sadly there is no solution at the moment. Your best bet is to adding it to the rc.local script so the network gets started at boot. This does not reconnect the network after suspend/hibernate, so you might want to create a start-network button on the desktop
[01:36] <Pelo> lgc, do you mean  the deep brown background ?
[01:37] <lgc> Pelo, hi. The typical Ubuntu brown color of, for example the applications frame or the bar.
[01:37] <goodhabit> Hello. Help me please. I wanna to make Kubuntu from my ubuntu. I made sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop, but how to deinstall ubuntu-packages? Or there is another way to "clean" change?
[01:37] <cdm10> lgc: go to System>Preferences>Themes and see if you can choose Human there, that should fix it.
[01:37] <rebecca> rexy: DOH
[01:37] <rebecca> but thanks
[01:37] <Pelo> lgc,  orange actualy,  check in menu > system > prefs > theme   the theme name is human
[01:37] <bruenig> goodhabit, not a great idea to use aptitude to install meta packages
[01:37] <nickrud> goodhabit, you don't need to uninstall ubunut, just choose kubuntu from the sessions options when you log in
[01:38] <rebecca> thanks rexy
[01:38] <Mulder> is /dev/lp0 the same as /dev/parport0 on feisty?
[01:38] <cdm10> nickrud: he just wants to get rid of the unused GNOME stuff
[01:38] <lgc> Pelo, cdm10, thanks, it worked!
[01:38] <cdm10> lgc: no problem
[01:38] <goodhabit> Yes, i see change checkbox, but i don't want GNOME packages?
[01:38] <bruenig> goodhabit, there is no explicit way to do it
[01:38] <cdm10> goodhabit: When I switched from Xubuntu to Ubuntu, I removed Xubuntu-desktop then removed what I saw that bugged me... there's probably a better way to do it.
[01:39] <rexy> rebecca the good news is that it's probably fixed in the new release after gutsy, the bad news is that that will take another 7 months
[01:39] <rexy> unless you install backports off course
[01:39] <GNine> to clean unused packages and other (...)  do :  sudo apt-get autoremove
[01:39] <bruenig> rexy, hooray discrete releases
[01:39] <nickrud> cdm10, true, but there's no clean way that I'm aware of. Maybe you know a package or two that sits at the bottom of gnome that can be apt-get remove'd?
[01:39] <rexy> hooray what?
[01:39] <AngryElf> hey folks, after I run the NVIDIA driver it restarts X and everything is great, after a reboot, it's broken again...any ideas what the install does, that a normal boot doesnt?
[01:39] <goodhabit> So "clean" way does not exist?
[01:40] <cdm10> goodhabit: not that I know of, and GNine's apt-get autoremove won't do the trick, sorry to say
[01:40] <deramin> AngryElf: did you change the configuration files?
[01:40] <AngryElf> deramin, the nvidia driver did
[01:40] <bruenig> goodhabit, I wrote a script once that compared the two meta packages and determined the difference in packages and removed those packages which were different, it should still work, it is buried in the forums somewhere though
[01:40] <goodhabit> I saw autoremove @ google. But it is useless...
[01:40] <cdm10> goodhabit: i'm pretty happy with my self-cleaned-out Ubuntu.
[01:40] <EpochWolf> Is there any advantage of using LVM with my new system?
[01:40] <cdm10> bruenig: ooh, that's cool...
[01:40] <sport> anyone know of a safe way to reboot the bios w/o taking off the case?
[01:40] <GNine> cdm10, wrong.. the trick i refer to does work to uninstall UNUSED software in your system
[01:40] <cdm10> !offtopic | sport
[01:40] <ubotu> sport: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:40] <Burlynn> do you have to install something additional for wep 104/128 to work in ubuntu?
[01:41] <BrendanW> How can I find/remove incomplete packet files installed on my system?
[01:41] <rexy> goodhabit, autoremove just removes libraries without programs depending on them, if you need to remove programs you will have to manually prune them through synaptic or apt-get
[01:41] <bruenig> apt-cache show ubuntu-desktop | grep Depends, then just go from there, pretty easy
[01:41] <sport> cdm10 ill put that down as a no
[01:41] <Pelo> EpochWolf,  only if you want to have a parttiion spread over two or more hdd
[01:41] <cdm10> GNine: I know what autoremove does. However, it won't work in that case.
[01:41] <cdm10> sport: no, put that down as a "go to another channel"
[01:41] <Pici> bruenig: or just apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop
[01:41] <nickrud> goodhabit, there's always debfoster, it'll walk you through. Just be cautious about what you remove
[01:41] <cdm10> bruenig: but that only lists 1 level of dependencies, right?
[01:41] <goodhabit> And last question. How i can update distro to beta version?
[01:41] <sport> cdm10 sorry, what
[01:41] <bruenig> cdm10, it doesn't matter
[01:41] <Sonicadvance1> is Tribe 5 of Gutsy Stable? :D
[01:42] <cdm10> goodhabit: you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:42] <cdm10> Sonicadvance1: nope
[01:42] <bruenig> !gutsy | Sonicadvance1

[01:42] <rexy> sport if you mean resetting the bios then no, the only way to reset a bios is by fiddling with the jumper or taking out the battery
[01:42] <goodhabit> TY very much!
[01:42] <sport> rexy thx
[01:42] <Sonicadvance1> oh woops, forgot about that channel
[01:42] <cdm10> goodhabit: no problem, sorry I couldn't help you more
[01:42] <rexy> Sonicadvance1, no, it's alpha stuff
[01:42] <Pelo> sport,  do you mean reset thebios default ? most of them have that option in there somewhere
[01:42] <deramin> AngryElf: I've got the same problem. it doesn't actually save the changes to the file. you need to do that manually. the nvidia thing will allow you to copy the path to the file. open the terminal and do "sudo gedit [file path] " where [file path]  is what you get from the nvidia thing.
[01:43] <goodhabit> Actually, u can. A have installed nvidia-glx, then nvidia-glx-new for testing. But if I try to downgrading, X doesn't works.
[01:43] <goodhabit> Smb know why&
[01:43] <goodhabit> ?
[01:43] <GNine> how bout updating the bios
[01:43] <AngryElf> deramin, i'm talking about the driver install, not the GUI util
[01:43] <PriceChild> goodhabit, i do... there's a file somewhere you need to delete, one mo
[01:43] <sport> pelo: i was wondering more about password locked bios: and as rexy confirmed you need to work with the jumpers
[01:43] <Codemaster|Mobil>  CodemasterMM
[01:44] <Codemaster|Mobil> whoop.
[01:44] <Pelo> sport,  is this your computer ?
[01:44] <PriceChild> goodhabit, sudo rm /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed
[01:44] <sport> pelo: this one im on is...
[01:44] <jefisme> hey guys
[01:44] <goodhabit> PriceChild: TY! I'll try right now...
[01:44] <ironmata1> AngryElf:   if the vid card for nvidia is not in the restricted drivers list you will have to do what i did and install the driver manuely
[01:44] <jefisme> im haveing printer problems
[01:44] <Pelo> sport,  no need to play with jumpers , just remove the battery for 5 minutes
[01:45] <Pelo> sport, I don'T recommend you mess with someone elses computer
[01:45] <rickb|server> hello, what is the likelyhood that ubuntu will find and use an intergrated intel wifi card? :)
[01:45] <Pelo> rickb|server,  pretty good actualy,
[01:45] <rickb|server> hmm
[01:45] <rexy> think it has a native supported driver
[01:45] <rickb|server> That is good. Because I am thinking of putting ubuntu on the laptop.
[01:45] <Pelo> rickb|server,  lookup your hardware on this see if there are any worries  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[01:45] <GNine> !wifi
[01:45] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:45] <deramin> AngryElf: I expect that it's still the same problem. x isn't configured to match the driver. the path to the config file should be /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:46] <rickb|server> Is there any different power usage? linuxwise?
[01:46] <scipio> rickb|server: you can always boot the livecd and check it out. no need to install anything
[01:46] <rickb|server> true.
[01:46] <AngryElf> deramin, yea, but if I restart GDM after the install it loads up fine -- so it's using that file
[01:46] <AngryElf> why would it change after a reboot?
[01:46] <EpochWolf> Pelo, does LVM slow down the computer at all?
[01:46] <sport> pelo: if you want to know my evil plan its to convince my school to let me reset a bios to do a presentation on ubuntu vrs windows
[01:46] <Pelo> rickb|server,  you can have cpufreq moduling , fancontrol and stuff like that
[01:46] <Burlynn> do i need to install another package to use wep 104/128?
[01:46] <rexy> why would you need to reset the bios to install ubuntu
[01:46] <scipio> rickb|server: there's also a list of suported !hardware if you want to read that first
[01:46] <jefisme> i cant get ubuntu to recognise myy lazerjet 1018 on my usb port
[01:46] <rickb|server> k :)
[01:47] <sport> pelo with booting ubuntu off of a jump drive of course
[01:47] <Pelo> EpochWolf,  I don'T rightly know, it's just a diffrent partitonning skeem
[01:47] <deramin> AngryElf: not sure then. I would still double check that file, though.
[01:47] <rexy> google ubuntu windows, there's a program which installs ubuntu on windows or something
[01:47] <deramin> AngryElf: just to rule it out
[01:47] <EpochWolf> Pelo, okay. I'll play it safe ;) and just go my standard route.
[01:47] <rickb|server> And one more thing!! :) What is the command to mount an NTFS drive with read and write permissions?
[01:47] <cdm10> rexy: it's called wubi
[01:47] <Pelo> sport,  take your own box the school and hook it up to a screen there ,
[01:47] <goodhabit> Here is a good channel. I tryed to ask on my localised, but there is only spam and flood, and noone is operator (
[01:47] <rexy> that's the one
[01:48] <bruenig> !ntfs-3g | rickb|server

[01:48] <ironmata1> ok i have a  windows game client that i want to run with wine  do i setup the client in ubuntu or wine?
[01:48] <bruenig> ironmata1, wine
[01:48] <rickb|server> k :)
[01:48] <Pelo> EpochWolf, I've considered  lvm but I just when for a little twisted  mounting skeem instead,  like I have a /dev/sdb2 mount to /home/jean/Download
[01:48] <GNine> lol
[01:48] <rexy> ironmata1, wine is a program in ubuntu, you can check on the wine site to see if your game is supported and what you need to do to get it working

[01:49] <sport> pelo thats plan B :D and probably what I'll end up doing
[01:49] <EpochWolf> Pelo, I'm fine with messing with my fstab to mount things differently..
[01:49] <ironmata1> eve-online  is what im trying to ge runnin
[01:49] <rexy> bruenig, well generally yeah
[01:49] <helloRobot> cdm10: sorry
[01:49] <rexy> but this is an ubuntu channel
[01:49] <GNine> Ironmatal, you answered you won question and didnt even realise it
[01:50] <bruenig> rexy, well your statements is what confuses ubuntu users into thinking well thinking what you just said is true somehow
[01:50] <Pelo> EpochWolf,  you can do that stragihtfrom the install proccedure if you want to , no real need to mess wth fstab, but I trust taht you can handle it, I was just letting you know how I went about doing it
[01:50] <bruenig> wine is developed for ubuntu is what that indicates
[01:50] <rexy> wine is a program you use in ubuntu to run windows programs, you're reading to much into that imo
[01:51] <bruenig> rexy, have you seen the ubuntu users loose on the internets
[01:51] <cdm10> heh
[01:51] <Pelo> or is it drool %?
[01:51] <bruenig> rexy, someone is confusing them
[01:51] <rexy> ironmata1, i use cedega to run eve-online, works just fine, never tried wine, but appearantly that too works
[01:51] <qebab> rexy: you play eve-online from linux? :o
[01:51] <rexy> qebab, yep
[01:51] <qebab> might be it was a bad idea to close my account if that's possible
[01:51] <qebab> oh well, money saved
[01:52] <rexy> gtc's 4tw
[01:52] <ironmata1> blast it my nicj is ironmatar not ironmatel
[01:52] <Bjornalf> anyone have any experience with running 2 monitors on an nvidia card?
[01:52] <GNine> used to play warcraft.. linux and FSF open my eyes to a new something..  i took the red pill
[01:52] <sport> whats the meaning behind a network process appearing as program = python instead of the name of the app?(as seen on firestarter)
[01:52] <ironmata1> how come /nick dosent work to change me nick
[01:52] <jvai> eve online is niiiice
[01:53] <cdm10> ironmata1: what client are you using?
[01:53] <ironmata1> gaim
[01:53] <bruenig> ironmatar is already in use
[01:53] <spiderfire> hello..my cursor is stuck in X...anyone know what i can do
[01:53] <cdm10> ironmata1: that command doesn't work in gaim, you need to go to Accounts>Add/Edit to change it
[01:53] <rexy> sport, the program is writtin in the python language, and python is used to run it
[01:53] <Pelo> sport, it's just using python to run the prog,  you can see which prog is actualy running by checking hte command line  option in the prefs
[01:54] <Pelo> spiderfire, meaning your mouse won't move ?
[01:54] <spiderfire> Pelo: ya
[01:54] <bruenig> sport, programs written in python are scripts, they are interpreted scripts, it is like running perl or bash, perl or bash is what is really running, the scripts are being interpreted by those things
[01:54] <rexy> bruenig, i'm new to the ubuntu community, i guess i have to addept a little still
[01:54] <Pelo> spiderfire,  this is going to sound silly but have you checked the mouse plug ?
[01:54] <Bjornalf> ironmata1: if you're from seattle then the irc server thinks you are using ironmatar otherwise someone beat you to it
[01:54] <spiderfire> Pelo: it happened after i hit a button in terminatorX called mousegrab
[01:54] <Pelo> spiderfire,  ah
[01:54] <cdm10> rexy: no, you need to synaptic a little...
[01:54] <cdm10> wow, that joke sucked
[01:54] <GNine> it grabbed your mouse alright
[01:54] <rexy> pretty much heh
[01:54] <c01100011> #ubuntu effects ?
[01:54] <spiderfire> ya so its a software prob
[01:55] <rexy> i never use that :/
[01:55] <Pelo> spiderfire,  I suggest you try using arrows and tab to  get to that button again and uncheck it of whatever
[01:55] <ironmata1> ok how the heck do i register my nick with nickerv  with gaim so my nick stays
[01:55] <bruenig> ironmata1, is the nick registered?
[01:55] <bruenig> err guess not
[01:55] <cdm10> rexy: adept is a package management frontend, and you misspelled adapt as addept :)
[01:55] <qebab> !register
[01:55] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration

[01:55] <ubotu> Ironhand: please see above
[01:55] <cdm10> whoah
[01:55] <bruenig> ironmata1, well you can't register it when someone else is using it
[01:55] <Pelo> spiderfire, you can also reboot, that will probablyfix it ,    open a terminal ,  type sudo reboot
[01:55] <rexy> yeh but it takes to long, i just use apt-get
[01:55] <ironmata1>    /j works  how come not the other base irc commands
[01:55] <qebab> apt-get is fantastic
[01:55] <spiderfire> Pelo: problem is im running stuff
[01:56] <cdm10> ironmata1: because it's designed to behave like a normal IM app, not an IRC app
[01:56] <spiderfire> is there a kb shortcut for the gnome menu?
[01:56] <bruenig> ironmata1, what other commands are you talking about, we already explained why /nick isn't working
[01:56] <qebab> I tried mandriva one of these days and I really missed apt-get
[01:56] <cdm10> ironmata1: try Xchat, you may like it better
[01:56] <cdm10> bruenig: probably things like /server
[01:56] <qebab> ironmata1: or if you don't mind terminal, use irssi :)

[01:56] <bruenig> certainly /server works in gaim
[01:56] <Pelo> spiderfire,  alt_f2 to get a one line command prompt
[01:56] <crazysoilder> hi!
[01:56] <cdm10> bruenig: it doesn't, i just tried
[01:57] <rexy> spiderfire, no but there is a tool which allows you to add shortcuts to certain stuff, gnome-keybinding-properties
[01:57] <cdm10> bruenig: you need to add a new IRC account on a different server
[01:57] <bruenig> qebab, just use the package management of mandriva, there is not much difference
[01:57] <ironmata1>   more like /nickserv /chanserv /memoserv  /help
[01:57] <bruenig> well /nickserv should be /msg nickserv
[01:57] <cdm10> ironmata1: well, those are all aliases for /msg nickserv/chanserv/whatever
[01:58] <qebab> bruenig: I guess I'm just too used to apt-get
[01:58] <kitche> ironmata1, those aren't base irc commands they are client specific
[01:58] <Mulder> parport0 is picked up by kernel, but a /dev entry is not made. so how do i access the parallel port?
[01:58] <bruenig> qebab, it is kind of a silly comparison then to say you missed something which is completely replicated but in a different way
[01:58] <bruenig> like people coming from red hat saying they missed yum
[01:58] <qebab> bruenig: possibly :)
[01:58] <josephine> so can any one give me a reason ubuntu wouldent recogniose a usb device
[01:59] <bruenig> josephine, by not recognized you mean?
[01:59] <Pelo> josephine, what kind of usb device ?
[01:59] <cdm10> josephine: what sorta device?
[01:59] <qebab> bruenig: I still have mandriva and I'll give it another chance, but this is hardly the channel for that discussion
[01:59] <josephine> printer
[01:59] <bruenig> josephine, by not recognized you mean?
[01:59] <cdm10> josephine: have you gone to System>Administration>Printing?
[01:59] <Pelo> josephine,  menu > syustem > prefs > removable media,  fourth tab  check the box for the printer
[02:00] <GNine> have you set the right driver for that printer
[02:00] <ironmata1> is cedega better or easier to work with than wine?
[02:00] <cdm10> GNine: I don't think it's that she can't print, I think she just can't get the printer recognized at all.
[02:00] <cdm10> ironmata1: it works with some more games
[02:00] <josephine> right
[02:00] <Pelo> Ironhand,  cedega is more expensive then wine
[02:00] <Pelo> ironmata1, cedega is more expensive then wine
[02:01] <underdog5004> which program would I use to strip "/path/to/my/files" from a file several hundred times?

[02:05] <Pelo> Skrypt,  there are a few packages for that in synaptic , just use crypt as a keyword for a seard
[02:06] <Pelo> alexsleat, if you have specific quesitons we can give it a try but to be honest I have no idea what a virtual modem is
[02:06] <cdm10> Skrypt: what sort of encryption are you trying to do?

[02:06] <Skrypt> cdm10: oh sorry, mate
[02:06] <Skrypt> for myself.
[02:06] <TheCreationist> OKay, I have no idea what happened here.  I can no longer play ANY movie files.  All the .MPG files from my camcorder no longer play in Totem, or play in VLC but without sound.  It's been a couple days since I've tried playing them, so I can't exactly tell which updates did it.
[02:06] <astx813> Anyone have suggestions?
[02:06] <Skrypt> and file/folder encryption.
[02:06] <Pelo> josephine,  is hte printer powered on ?
[02:06] <alexsleat> gparted doesnt show my partitions either so is there any way of getting them up in the install?

[02:07] <Skrypt> thanks
[02:07] <cdm10> Skrypt: that's ok... install Seahorse, it lets you use gnupg with a GUI frontend. You can then encrypt files and folders, text, and emails
[02:07] <rexy> Skrypt,  there are 5 or 6 wiki's on loopback/file/filesystem encryption

[02:22] <josephine> pelo that still wont work
[02:22] <josephine> tried that with no help

[02:33] <NET||abuse> lgc, emmmm, right, yes, i like to cook them and eat them with vinegar
[02:33] <rexy> check that it's mounted with mount
[02:33] <IndyGunFreak> how do you clear your notify list?
[02:33] <rexy> !mirror
[02:33] <ubotu> Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[02:33] <goodhabit> Who can paste in private for me a part of xorg.conf, what describes mouse? Please.
[02:33] <rexy> awesome stuff
[02:33] <Arrick> ive tried 3 so far and they havent been more than 25kbps
[02:33] <NET||abuse> goodhabit, sure,
[02:34] <Skrypt> How do I encrypt a folder with seahorse?
[02:34] <DjViper> rexy: remember to always properly unmount ntfs partition, ie on removable drives etc
[02:34] <lgc> NET||abuse, you are entitled to your own preferences, certainly.
[02:34] <Theory_> rexy, Do I have to put in the whole script in rc.local? or just the command sudo ~/connect
[02:35] <Arrick> that was good, which one is the fast one now rexy ?
[02:35] <rexy> Skrypt: http://www.google.com/search?q=seahorse+ubuntu+encrypt+folder
[02:35] <Arrick> one out ther has to be able to do 200+kbps
[02:35] <rexy> Theory_: just the command to start the script will do
[02:35] <Theory_> fexy
[02:35] <Theory_> ack rexy
[02:35] <lgc> NET||abuse, but I will surmise you're not French, Chinese or Mexican, since your recipe for monkey testes is quite plain.
[02:35] <Theory_> thanks
[02:35] <rexy> Arrick: fast one what?
[02:35] <Arrick> ahh now the thing is dl'ing faster
[02:35] <NET||abuse> lgc, dude, seriously,, your takin that waaaaaayy too serious
[02:35] <Gus_> hi there, can anyone help me restoring lilo on my system after a windows installation (i know the live cd doesn't have a rescue mode)
[02:36] <Gus_> im a bit lost
[02:36] <Arrick> rexy when i connected to that mirror you had posted, it was at 25kbps
[02:36] <rexy> ah
[02:36] <my_key> I'm trying to install feisty on an amd 64 here, but for some reason the bios doesn't recognise the IDE cdrom drives. Screwed the box open and found out they'r connected to a maxtor ultra ata 133 pci adapter card. Does anybody happen to know how i can make them recognised in an american megatrends bios?
[02:36] <Arrick> now its at 333
[02:36] <rexy> you need to boot first Gus_
[02:36] <Skrypt> rexy, been there, no good.
[02:36] <Gus_> how do i boot rexy ?
[02:36] <rexy> try a live cd
[02:36] <Gus_> im on live cd now
[02:36] <rexy> does ubuntu even have lilo on there?
[02:37] <Gus_> doesnt..
[02:37] <rexy> can you switch to grub?
[02:37] <Gus_> dunno
[02:37] <Gus_> sorry
[02:37] <Gus_> i do have grub
[02:37] <rexy> do you know how to configure grub?
[02:37] <Gus_> nope, how do i restore grub then
[02:37] <rexy> honestly i have no idea
[02:38] <rexy> let me google
[02:38] <DjViper> no, we forbid you from googling :P
[02:38] <rexy> fine you give the answers then heh
[02:38] <DjViper> hehe
[02:38] <rexy> anyway you're better of installing grub then lilo
[02:38] <DjViper> agreed
[02:39] <rexy> lilo, is ancient
[02:39] <rexy> is there a way to start the grub configuration part from the command line in ubuntu?
[02:39] <rexy> that would probably be easiest i think?

[02:43] <foug_> has anyone tried playing bioshock in ubuntu yet?
[02:43] <kingnothing> I've somewhat tracked down a strange problem I've been having for some time now. Occasionally, programs will take an arbitrarily long time to open, somewhere around 10 - 20 seconds, and I noticed that it only happens when my internet connection drops out. What causes it and what's the fix?
[02:44] <rexy> foug_: yep, http://www.google.com/search?q=wine+bioshock
[02:45] <foug_> rexy: first result shows Bioshock demo problem" on the ubuntu forums, lol
[02:45] <foug_> rexy: have you tried it out?
[02:45] <rexy> no
[02:45] <nickrud> kingnothing, this is on gnome?
[02:45] <rexy> i just entered your question into google
[02:45] <mcrandello> does anyone know where they hid gran paradiso in ubuntu studio and how can I get rid of it?
[02:45] <foug> o ok
[02:45] <kingnothing> nickrud: gnome with beryl and emerald
[02:45] <Pelo> kingnothing, disabling ipv6 migth help ,  but the number of addons in firefox might also be at issue
[02:45] <kingnothing> Pelo: not using firefox
[02:46] <GNine> there are 30 packages in synaptic for Beryl, can i just pick the one plainly called beryl and have a functional .. beryl?
[02:46] <rexy> maybe it's the dns resolv thing, seem to recall a problem where linux would try to resolve some dns, for some reason, and obviously that times out
[02:46] <Pelo> GNine, ask in #beryl
[02:46] <nickrud> kingnothing, that's usually something do do with your hostname; make sure that /etc/hostname doesn't include a domain, and that /etc/hosts has your hostname at 127.0.0.1
[02:46] <mcrandello> I searched synaptic for gran and paradiso, looked under firefox and mozilla and I can't find anything which would indicate which package I need to nuke
[02:46] <rexy> yeh that
[02:46] <GNine> oh
[02:47] <pabneedsmoney> hmm
[02:48] <craigbass1976> can anyone think of a way to automate pulling data from pdf files?  I was thinking php, but can't find any examples yet
[02:48] <kingnothing> nickrud: all that's in etc/hostname is the name of my box, and etc/hosts is correct
[02:48] <rexy> you mean like convert pdf to text files?
[02:48] <rexy> pdf2text?
[02:48] <rexy> or pdf2html
[02:48] <mcrandello> craigbass1976: pdf2html and pipes
[02:49] <mcrandello> lots and lots of pipes
[02:49] <rexy> dont forget some sinks
[02:49] <nickrud> kingnothing, have you changed your hostname recently?
[02:49] <rexy> you need some decent drains to keep the plumming going
[02:49] <kingnothing> nickrud: nope, never changed it
[02:49] <kahrytan> rexy,  lol
[02:49] <prezer_latif> hi all
[02:50] <numus> does anyone know how to use gpartition with a ntfs drive with a bad sector
[02:50] <kahrytan> craigbass1976, look at perl?
[02:50] <mcrandello> crap and now I changed the default browser in gnome i can't find the executable to get rid of it
[02:50] <mcrandello> oh bother
[02:50] <craigbass1976> kahrytan, I haven't. Do you know for sure it's possible, or just think so?  I'm checking out pdf2html right now
[02:50] <mcrandello> anyone know what the executable for mozilla gran paradiso is/
[02:51] <Pelo> mcrandello,  terminal,  locate paradiso
[02:51] <cnymike> how do i get the user list to show up to the side in xchat?
[02:51] <nickrud> kingnothing, then I'm stumped; I'm sure it's something to do with gnome trying to resolve an address, the network in GNOME is fundamental
[02:51] <kahrytan> craigbass1976, There might be a module
[02:51] <mcrandello> bash: lolcate: command not found <-lolcate
[02:51] <Pelo> cnymike, it's resize to noting, mouse over the right edge untill you get the bouble arrow
[02:52] <mcrandello> that's what I get for typing angry
[02:52] <kingnothing> nickrud: alright, i'll see if i can find anything along that line. thanks for giving me something to go with
[02:52] <numus> anyone know how to partition a ntfs drive with badsectors
[02:52] <kbrosnan> mcrandello: firefox
[02:52] <cnymike> Pelo: i'm full screen now, nothing happened
[02:53] <rexy> numus, toss the disk, saves you pain
[02:53] <Logikos> hi, i'm useing ubuntu 6.06 LTS server .... its been working great for months ... so i havent had to login for months, now when i try to login it wont let me (i'm useing the correct password) please help
[02:53] <Pelo> cnymike,  playarond with the settings in the display menus , don'T look for it , just screw around,  it will get reset
[02:53] <numus> rexy the disk has given me no problems except with ubuntu
[02:53] <mcrandello> kbrosnan: firefox just brings up regular vanilla firefox. I can tell because my extensions aren't all disabled
[02:53] <Pelo> Logikos,  caploks ?
[02:53] <rexy> numus if it has bad blocks it's going to die, soon ussually,
[02:53] <cnymike> Pelo: another thing Ubuntu didn't include
[02:53] <Logikos> Pelo: no ...
[02:53] <kahrytan> craigbass1976, http://search.cpan.org/
[02:53] <numus> rexy windows doesn't find the bad block.. only ubuntu
[02:54] <rexy> Logikos:  try booting into it from grub
[02:54] <rexy> then see if someone changed your password?
[02:54] <Logikos> Pelo: if i use the wrong pass it says login incorrect, if i use the right pass, it tells me last login, etc etc .. then says that there have been 3 failed logins since such and such date .. then kicks me out
[02:54] <kbrosnan> mcrandello: if you are going to play around with alpha versions learn -no-remote and -profilemanager switcher
[02:54] <Pelo> cnymike, the settings are just wieid in the default install, it's easy enought to fix
[02:54] <devn>  i hate window managers
[02:54] <rexy> numus, do a full surface scan in windows if you want to be sure
[02:54] <devn> im going full console from now on
[02:54] <cnymike> if only there was something in the preferences about display settings
[02:54] <numus> rexy it is because the drive was used in replay tv
[02:54] <mcrandello> kbrosnan: I don't want to play around with it, I want it dead and off my system :^)
[02:54] <kbrosnan> mcrandello: you can only have one instance of firefox runing and granpardiso counts as firefox
[02:54] <Logikos> rexy: it acts different when i use the correct pass ... i know its the right pass, if i use any other pass it says login incorrect
[02:54] <Pelo> Logikos,  try login in as user  root  , same password,
[02:55] <mcrandello> kbrosnan: ah
[02:55] <Pelo> Logikos,  just temporaraly
[02:55] <numus> rexy there is a file that wont format off that it must think is a bad sector
[02:55] <Logikos> Pelo: ok i'll try, sec
[02:55] <devn> why does kdewallet not recognize my root password?
[02:55] <devn> its farking annoying.
[02:55] <rexy> numus just wipe the disk then, and see how it goes
[02:55] <tigran> hey, how can i make the top applet, the one that has 'Applications' 'Places' 'System' font color white only
[02:55] <rexy> partition, format install
[02:55] <Logikos> Pelo: that sez login incorrect ... i didnt think it was possible to login as root anyways? *shrugs*
[02:55] <foug> the bioshock PC demo won't install for me, has anyone else tried this? I get an error box but it's blank
[02:56] <mcrandello> kbrosnan: killall -9 firefox && firefox still got the good old version I know and love
[02:56] <rexy> Logikos try logging in as a normal user?
[02:56] <Pelo> Logikos,  it was worth a shot , that's all I have
[02:56] <devn> killall window_managers
[02:56] <jrib> mcrandello: the process is named "firefox-bin"
[02:56] <rexy> stop killing my windowmanagers
[02:56] <numus> rexy ubuntus partition will do it.. just gpartion wouldn't lol
[02:56] <devn> i hate window managers!
[02:56] <rexy> i like my windows key :/
[02:56] <mcrandello> jrib: firefox-bin: no process killed
[02:56] <rexy> twm 4tw
[02:56] <tigran> how can i make the top applet, the one that has 'Applications' 'Places' 'System' font color white only
[02:56] <Logikos> Pelo, rexy: i've tryed loging in as 2 different normal users, when i use the correct pass it kinda logs me in, tells me last login date etc, then kicks me out saying 3 failed atempts, if i use the wrong pass, it only says login incorrect
[02:57] <devn> how do i run ubuntu without a window manager?
[02:57] <Pelo> tigran,  right click on it ,  properties,
[02:57] <jrib> mcrandello: ask #ubuntustudio
[02:57] <devn> i just want multiple consoles
[02:57] <Pelo> devn, from the command line
[02:57] <devn> Pelo: how?
[02:57] <rexy> Logikos, odd, can you physically access the server?
[02:57] <Pelo> devn, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[02:57] <rexy> or is it a colocated server?
[02:57] <tigran> Pelo, has nothing for font color
[02:57] <jrib> devn: do you know about screen?
[02:57] <BrendanW> Does anybody have any screen capture software they would recommend for Ubuntu?
[02:57] <devn> jrib: yes, screen -r
[02:57] <devn> control a + d
[02:57] <devn> yum
[02:58] <rexy> screen -x if you want to party with multiple people
[02:58] <ryanakca> If you don't want someone to be able to log in, I assume you set their shell to /dev/null?
[02:58] <mcrandello> jrib: 'k
[02:58] <rexy> ryanakca: yeh that will work
[02:58] <ryanakca> I could --disable-login , but, wouldn't that mess up their mail login?
[02:58] <pmcnabb> is there a way to use "alternatives --config x" in a non-interactive way so that, say, a script could change the system-wide alternative?
[02:58] <Pelo> tigran,  sorry I didnt, realise you meant font,  somwhere in  gconf-editor I expect,  propably under /apps/pannel
[02:58] <Logikos> rexy: yes, i can, and what i'm describing are my atempts to login at the box itself, not remote
[02:58] <ryanakca> rexy: thanks
[02:58] <rexy> ah
[02:58] <devn> jrib: isn't there a way to have like 6 console windows that you can get to by typing: alt + 1, alt + 2, etc
[02:58] <devn> ?
[02:58] <rexy> Logikos you can boot into single mode by modifying the grub command line
[02:59] <rexy> thay way you wont have to login, nor can you be booted back to the login screen
[02:59] <jrib> pmcnabb: try looking at 'man update-alternatives', hint: --set
[02:59] <cnymike> Pelo: are you using GNOME-xChat?
[02:59] <larson9999> oh boy, i started the gutsy update
[02:59] <rexy> ryanakca: depends, the mail can be checked against local accounts, but you dont login even then, so setting it to null should not interfere with that
[02:59] <Pelo> cnymike, please don'T blaspheme in the channel
[02:59] <rexy> you should consider ldap for more then a few users though
[02:59] <jrib> devn: that's enabled by default, but screen on one is superior imo (you know  ctrl-a c  creates new "tabs" in screen?)
[02:59] <ryanakca> rexy: ok, thanks
[02:59] <devn> all i want is 5 console windows: irc, vim, lynx, command line, and a music console
[03:00] <Logikos> rexy: how can i do that... if i cant login how do i modify anything at all ?
[03:00] <devn> jrib: i didnt know that
[03:00] <devn> that's cool
[03:00] <rexy> devn ALT-F1, ALT-F2 etc
[03:00] <devn> ah sweet, thanks
[03:00] <rexy> or tweak your ini file to autostart the consoles without logging in
[03:00] <kingnothing> nickrud: found the fix... /etc/hostname has just my hostname in it. looking in etc/hosts, there was not a corresponding entry with 127.0.0.1 myhostname, although there was 127.0.0.1 for localhost and myhostname.domain, so I added the one for myhostname, and the problem seems to be gone.
[03:00] <Pelo>  cnymike  you can get "regular" xchat from the add/remove menu
[03:00] <devn> this reminds me of my slackware days
[03:00] <devn> long long ago
[03:00] <cnymike> thanks
[03:00] <jrib> devn: google for some screen tutorials, the gentoo wiki has some nice tweaks too
[03:00] <jrib> !screen > devn (see the private message from ubotu)
[03:00] <devn> thanks
[03:00] <Logikos> rexy: each time i use the right pass, it tells me that there have been 3 failed atempts to login ... could that have somethign to do with this?
[03:00] <devn> anyone else refuse to use a window manager?
[03:01] <nickrud> kingnothing, I think that's what I said, but maybe not clearly ;)
[03:01] <tigran> Pelo: no font color there
[03:01] <rexy> u gave that up devn after my linuxfromscratch days
[03:01] <kingnothing> nickrud: :)
[03:01] <devn> dont you remember how simple it felt?
[03:01] <devn> how right it felt?
[03:01] <Pelo> tigran,  that's all I have for you , chek in the channel or
[03:01] <gerro> devn: I could live without panels and icons, the resource save would be amazing
[03:01] <rexy> i said that too, but i was totally incomprehensible
[03:01] <Pelo> !theme > tigran  check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[03:01] <rexy> devn: no
[03:01] <rexy> i still use consoles a lot
[03:02] <larson9999> lfs: i got tired of compiling with gentoo so i switched to lfs :)
[03:02] <rexy> but try browsing porn in lynx
[03:02] <devn> not to mention (and i mean no offense) open source window managers are hardly impressive by industry standards
[03:02] <rexy> nuff said
[03:02] <tigran> k, thanks Pelo
[03:02] <rexy> yeah gentoo was much better
[03:02] <devn> rexy: this is exactly why i want no images
[03:02] <devn> no more pr0n time wasting
[03:02] <rexy> still thinking of getting it for gaming
[03:02] <Geek_> devn: "industry standards" -> compared to?
[03:02] <rexy> heh yeh much better i agre
[03:02] <devn> Geek_: OSX, Vista
[03:02] <devn> IMHO better WMs than Gnome or KDE
[03:02] <Logikos> rexy: you sugested modifing grub, how do i do that if i cant login?
[03:03] <poningru> anyone need help?
[03:03] <devn> Logikos: use a live cd
[03:03] <nickrud> devn, mutt, lynx, elm, zvg, and bmv. What more do you need?
[03:03] <rexy> nonononon
[03:03] <Pelo> poningru,  with what ?
[03:03] <poningru> uh... you are in #ubuntu
[03:03] <poningru> so with ubuntu
[03:03] <rexy> When grub boots you can edit the start command
[03:03] <rexy> before it boots linux
[03:03] <poningru> and devn please dont use this channel for whatever argument you are having
[03:03] <rexy> edit the line that boots the kernel and add single
[03:04] <Geek_> devn: your comparing composite desktops to non composite ones. would be more accurate to look at compiz, beryl or matisse rather than vanilla KDE and Gnome
[03:04] <Pelo> poningru,  do you have anyting specific or should we just trow a bunch of wikis your way  ?
[03:04] <Logikos> devn: ok ... i'll try, thanks
[03:04] <poningru> Pelo: no dude I am offering to help
[03:04] <larson9999> rexy http://www.asciipr0n.com/
[03:04] <poningru> I dont need help...
[03:04] <Flynsarmy> poningru: You knwo of any Firewalls taht pop up allow/deny messages like ZoneAlarm? Do you know any progs that allow you to limit ul/dl speed of applications like Netlimiter for windows?
[03:04] <rexy> i'm not really into all that larson, but thanx
[03:04] <goundy> guys I can't modify my keyboard
[03:04] <Pelo> poningru, oh, just take a number then,  a noob will be with you shortly
[03:04] <goundy> I get this http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/2319/screenshotgnomesettingszo8.png
[03:04] <nickrud> lol, Flynsarmy ask the easy ones ;)
[03:04] <goundy> how to solv this problem? thank you
[03:04] <boyam> lol@Pelo
[03:04] <gerro> devn: you seriously haven't tried xfce with compiz-fusion :P
[03:05] <devn> its like going to vegas
[03:05] <larson9999> rexy just saying links can do pron
[03:05] <poningru> Flynsarmy: hmm firestarter is good for firewall stuff
[03:05] <devn> its a nice place to visit, but i wouldnt want to live there
[03:05] <poningru> devn: please leave argument and stuff out of here
[03:05] <devn> (compiz fusion)
[03:05] <poningru> there is #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:05] <Flynsarmy> Firestarter does not have allow/deny popups
[03:05] <Flynsarmy> it is not what i'm looking for
[03:05] <devn> poningru: apparently you haven't noticed the 9 people baiting me
[03:05] <rexy> Flynsarmy: you want the adblocker plugin
[03:05] <rexy> for firefox
[03:05] <poningru> devn: please dont let them
[03:05] <rexy> and probably noscript too
[03:05] <Pelo> goundy,  what are using to modify your keyboard, and what kind of mods did you have in mind ?
[03:05] <poningru> take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[03:05] <Flynsarmy> I have the adblocker plugin for firefox
[03:06] <gerro> devn: yeah I agree its not very useful, I just use a stripped down xfce setup
[03:06] <mcrandello> poningru: I'm having a problem with crouching firefox-hidden paradiso
[03:06] <Geek_> devn: if you want to compare, it would be older OS X, windows explorer (non aero), CDE vs linux desktops.
[03:06] <goundy> Pelo, am using the assistant in system>preference
[03:06] <rexy> firestarter just filters network traffic, not popups
[03:06] <goundy> Pelo, mod: kbd
[03:06] <poningru> Geek_: please take this argument to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:06] <devn> no that's okay, i stand on my original argument, and until kde or gnome /feels/ like OSX or Windows, I refuse to call it a quality window manager
[03:06] <devn> fin.
[03:06] <Flynsarmy> which is why i'm not using it. I'm looking for a firewall with the allow/deny popups
[03:06] <Geek_> poningru: i'm not sure this is either offtopic or an arguement
[03:07] <Pelo> goundy,  are you trying to get the strokes to match the keys on your keyboard ? are you tring to create keyboard shortcuts ? what ?
[03:07] <rexy> Flynsarmy: there isnt any
[03:07] <poningru> Flynsarmy: hmm sorry dude dont know of any
[03:07] <goundy> Pelo, trying to get my print screen and my alt-gr working :s
[03:07] <Logikos> devn, rexy: i booted to a live cd, which option do i select, start ubuntu in safe graphics mode?
[03:07] <jrib> Geek_: anything that's not about ubuntu _support_ is offtopic here
[03:07] <rexy> and there most likely wont be any either, as a firewall filters traffic
[03:07] <poningru> Geek_: its not support, you can take it up for discusstion in -ops if you so wish
[03:07] <Flynsarmy> Any netlimiter type apps then?
[03:07] <rexy> Logikos you can do that yeah
[03:07] <rexy> and then check your passwd
[03:07] <rexy> file
[03:08] <Geek_> *shrug* right
[03:08] <Atlantiz> hey guys what do you think of this new site? http://www.doctorrescue.com/
[03:08] <devn> Logikos: whatever will get you to a place where you can edit your settings on the other drive, you'll be fine
[03:08] <devn> Atlantiz: I think it sucks.
[03:08] <Pelo> goundy,  ok , printscreen key works in combination with alt and crtl and shift ,  and works by default,    alt-gr doesn't work for anyone you can'T get ascii characters that way
[03:08] <Atlantiz> ouch
[03:08] <jrib> !offtopic | Atlantiz
[03:08] <Pelo> goundy,  so basicaly I think you are barking up the wrong tree
[03:08] <ubotu> Atlantiz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:08] <devn> Atlantiz: sorry, bad place to advertise without any information
[03:08] <rexy> Flynsarmy: what does netlimiter do?
[03:08] <devn> so i wont view it, and assume it sucks
[03:08] <goundy> Pelo, the wrong tree ?
[03:08] <Flynsarmy> Allows you to limit the ul/dl speed of each application
[03:08] <Atlantiz> oh sorry
[03:08] <Atlantiz> just a little exited
[03:08] <poningru> Flynsarmy: hmm trickle exists
[03:08] <Atlantiz> i finally made it
[03:08] <gerro> Atlantiz: I agree with devn that site is lame
[03:09] <Pelo> goundy,  an expression, meaning you won'T get anyting out of hwat  you are trying to do
[03:09] <devn> Atlantiz: you should give up on the internet
[03:09] <shiznix`> Hi
[03:09] <goundy> Pelo, you know with dapper and edgy my keyboard was working perfectly
[03:09] <Atlantiz> lol
[03:09] <poningru> but it wont control speed after the program has started
[03:09] <rexy> Flynsarmy: not sure, if there is it's a program that modifies the iptables for you which governs how packets are handled
[03:09] <goundy> but since I put feisty ....
[03:09] <etale> I issued "sudo echo level 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan" and got permission denied--what's wrong. Please help! I keep asking everywhere and nobody even responds...
[03:09] <gerro> goundy: exit your keyboard settings in xorg.conf same as they were before then
[03:09] <rexy> etale: you are not root
[03:09] <rexy> wait
[03:09] <msuiter> does anyone know how to get the First run wizard to run after installing kubuntu-desktop?
[03:09] <rexy> nvm
[03:09] <gerro> goundy: meant edit not exit sorry
[03:09] <etale> i did sudo
[03:09] <goundy> gerro, I tried it
[03:09] <poningru> etale: I dont think you are supposed to be able to do that
[03:09] <rexy> try quoting it
[03:09] <Pelo> goundy, that's a different issue then   not sure what but diffinately not what I thought your issue was , my mistake , sorry,  I don'T know how to help
[03:10] <gerro> goundy: still having trouble?
[03:10] <goundy> but I got an error from xkbcomp
[03:10] <poningru> what are you trying to do?
[03:10] <jrib> etale: redirection is done by your shell, use  '| sudo tee'  instead of  '>'
[03:10] <devn> will a sudo /etc/init.rd/gdm stop kill all the extraneous processes running within the WM?
[03:10] <gerro> goundy: what sort of keyboard is it bluetooth?
[03:10] <goundy> Pelo, np thanks for your attempt ;)
[03:10] <devn> i just want to be at a fresh command line
[03:10] <rexy> devn mostly
[03:10] <shiznix`> I'll soon find out
[03:10] <goundy> gerro, no, I've an acer laptop
[03:10] <jrib> devn: yes, tends to do that
[03:10] <devn> k, good :)
[03:10] <pmcnabb> jrib: sorry for the huge delay, but does --set affect all the slave alternatives entries?
[03:10] <gerro> goundy: are you typing on it now? is it just certain key combinations its missing?
[03:10] <goundy> yes
[03:11] <gerro> goundy: then add them in
[03:11] <goundy> gerro, print screen and alt gr won't work
[03:11] <Flynsarmy> poningru: Thanks. Looks like what i'm after. I don't need to set any proxy settings in each app or anything, i can just choose which app to limit and set the limits?
[03:11] <devn> for what it's worth, if you have trouble with your USB keyboard I finally got mine working today at grub bootloader
[03:11] <etale> jrib ! thank you!!!
[03:11] <devn> so all hope is not lost
[03:11] <goundy> gerro, I tried to modify for example from BE (belgium) to FR (french) but I got an error from xkbcomp
[03:11] <doug_> anyone in here from texas?
[03:11] <gerro> goundy: you probably uninstalled the program that handles print screen. On xubuntu it doesn't even have that app so I configured imagemagick to take a snapshot and timestamp it in my pictures folder
[03:12] <rexy> gnome-keybinding-properties that program you can use to set more funky key bindings and enable special keys
[03:12] <goundy> gerro, i didn't uninstalled anything I've just upgraded from dapper -> edgy -> feisty
[03:12] <goundy> nothing else
[03:12] <gerro> goundy: you speak french, belgium, and english?
[03:12] <goundy> gerro, in belgium we speak french ^^
[03:12] <rexy> lies
[03:12] <neozen> goundy: is the screenshooter xfce applet a possibility?
[03:12] <ryanakca> How can I erase 'Last login: Fri Aug 24 23:54:17 2007 from <host>'
[03:12] <rexy> the belgiums speek vlemmish or whatever too :P
[03:13] <goundy> neozen, sorry?
[03:13] <ryanakca> (aka, what file contains that?)
[03:13] <rexy> some of em anyway
[03:13] <goundy> rexy, a part speek vlamish and the other one french :)
[03:13] <goundy> rexy, wikipedia can tell you more about that :)
[03:13] <rexy> quite aware <--dutch
[03:13] <jimcooncat> and pommes frites ain't no french fries
[03:13] <neozen> g'ok.... meant gerro
[03:13] <Logikos> devn, rexy: ok, i'm booted to safe graphics mode (it loaded very very slowly) ... what do i do now? ...
[03:13] <EvaLuaTe> if i selected 'console login' at startup, can i change back to kde login without restarting ?
[03:13] <neozen> *d'oh
[03:14] <bulio|> how can I do a text based install with the 7.04 desktop CD?
[03:14] <goundy> gerro, I got this http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/2319/screenshotgnomesettingszo8.png
[03:14] <gerro> neozen: umm? alt f4?
[03:14] <rexy> post the line in your passwd file that contains root
[03:14] <cdm10> bulio|: you can't you'll need the alternate cd
[03:14] <bulio|> standard install is much too slow
[03:14] <cdm10> !alternate | bulio|
[03:14] <ubotu> bulio|: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[03:14] <devn> thank jesus for this terminal
[03:14] <devn> i love linux.  i love my terminal.
[03:14] <bulio|> the live CD is so slow
[03:14] <Bjornalf> if i'm removing an app (compiz-core) and it wants to remove the ubuntu-desktop package is that going to screw up my system?
[03:14] <gerro> goundy: did you install the necessary keyboard files from synaptic?
[03:14] <cdm10> Bjornalf: no
[03:15] <goundy> gerro, no nothing
[03:15] <cdm10> !ubuntu-desktop > Bjornalf
[03:15] <rexy> Bjornalf: ubuntu-desktop is just a placeholder
[03:15] <scratchme> Hi is there a way to see file access to see what file I could be missing for a program that gives an error on start?
[03:15] <neozen> gerro: xfce4-screenshooter-plugin ...handles screenshot generation
[03:15] <gerro> goundy: try doing that
[03:15] <HaaS> hello all
[03:15] <rexy> !ubuntu-desktop > me
[03:15] <neozen> gerro: probably already installed
[03:15] <goundy> gerro, Okay thank you ;)
[03:15] <HaaS> open files *.3gp with ubuntu ?
[03:15] <gerro> neozen: interesting but it didn't have a prinit scrn combo setup?
[03:15] <Logikos> devn, rexy: ok, i'm booted to safe graphics mode (it loaded very very slowly) ... what do i do now? ...  how do i fix the login problem ?

[03:16] <rexy> Logikos: check your passwd file

[03:16] <gerro> neozen: nope its not installed for me but I will check into it
[03:16] <HaaS> open files *.3gp with ubuntu ?
[03:16] <rexy> past the line wich has root in it
[03:16] <goundy> you know it says that xkbcomp bug
[03:16] <cdm10> !repeat | Haas
[03:16] <ubotu> Haas: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[03:16] <cdm10> !multimedia | HaaS

[03:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about restriced - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:16] <goundy> so I want to remove and reinstall it but I'm afraid ^^
[03:16] <cdm10> rexy: already got it
[03:16] <HaaS> ok ok sorry :(
[03:16] <gerro> !pr0n | HaaS
[03:16] <Superkuh> Anyone know how I could check if hardware tcp checksum offloading is enabled on my (mobo integrated) NIC under ubuntu (feisty) (or if a more general answer exists for debian-like, or even general linux systems)?
[03:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pr0n - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:16] <gerro> woot!
[03:16] <Bjornalf> ok so i let it be taken out and put it back in after so it can mangage upgrades and such?
[03:16] <neozen> gerro: if you truly have xubuntu it should've been installed ::ponders::
[03:16] <rexy> awh :/
[03:17] <gerro> neozen: I have 7.04 xubuntu
[03:17] <goundy> nm. I'll change feisty by debian
[03:17] <cdm10> gerro: try the command < sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop >
[03:17] <EvaLuaTe> so, if i'm in console mode, is there any way to change back to kde ?
[03:17] <HaaS> 7.10 ?
[03:17] <Flynsarmy> What's the difference between ubuntu and xubutu?
[03:17] <goundy> Thanks guys ;)
[03:17] <BDBMX> could anyone think why i get command not found for /etc/init.d/samba ?
[03:17] <cdm10> HaaS: 7.10 is the next version of Ubuntu
[03:17] <rexy> evaluate alt-F7
[03:17] <gerro> neozen: oh seeing how you know a bit about xubuntu how can I set swiftweasel as default browser and remove that sliver of autohidden panel?
[03:17] <jarrod_> anyone know of a good book for learning bash from the ground?
[03:17] <jrib> pmcnabb: what do you mean?  I'm not familiar with "slave alternative entries"
[03:17] <HaaS> channel ?
[03:18] <dga> Flynsarmy: xubuntu uses xfce as its desktop environment instead of gnome
[03:18] <cdm10> Flynsarmy: one uses GNOME, one uses XFCE. They're both different desktop environments, and they have some different apps.
[03:18] <gerro> neozen: other than that xfce is freakin awesome (^_^) 'O
[03:18] <rexy> Flynsarmy: xubuntu is a lighter version, less features
[03:18] <HaaS> about next version ?
[03:18] <pawan> hi
[03:18] <EvaLuaTe> ohh, thanks rexy
[03:18] <cdm10> Flynsarmy: Xubuntu is better for lower-end PCs.
[03:18] <pawan> pawan here
[03:18] <cdm10> !gutsy | HaaS
[03:18] <_Rocko> BDBMX, maybe you haven't installed the samba-server package
[03:18] <ubotu> HaaS: 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
[03:18] <ryanakca> How can I erase 'Last login: Fri Aug 24 23:54:17 2007 from <host>' (aka, what file contains that line?)
[03:18] <BDBMX> so its not on by deafault?
[03:18] <HaaS> cdm10, ok man, thx ;-)
[03:18] <rexy> cdm10: the really low end, gnome runs fine in 250m/1ghz here
[03:18] <astro76> jarrod_, "Learning the bash Shell" from O'Reilly is great.
[03:18] <HaaS> see ya
[03:18] <jrib> pmcnabb: yeah, just grepped the man, "I don't know" is my answer :/
[03:18] <pmcnabb> jrib: when i change one of the alternatives, there are several other associated binaries (slaves) that are changed, too. i do this for java 1.5 & 1.6 concurrency
[03:18] <gerro> Flynsarny: and anyone whom wants a slim non buggy WM with out a gnome straight jacket
[03:18] <pmcnabb> jrib: ok, thanks
[03:18] <cdm10> rexy: well, even on high-end PCs, Xubuntu is a little faster... but GNOME is certainly pretty snappy on most PCs.
[03:19] <rexy> butbut, gnome is so purdy
[03:19] <Tigran> when I try to login says Im out of disk space...what do i do??
[03:19] <cdm10> rexy: XFCE is very nice-looking too
[03:19] <neozen> gerro: yeah it is ::dances::
[03:19] <rexy> i know, but i barebone eve/cedega straight onto X anyway :D
[03:19] <dga> kubuntu has worked the best on my laptop out of the box (i have a dell inspiron 1501)
[03:19] <Flynsarmy> gerro: I have gnome and it doesn't seem very buggy to me?
[03:19] <cdm10> rexy: it's based on GTK+, so you'll be able to get the same themes and stuff.
[03:19] <gerro> neozen: what country you from?
[03:19] <cdm10> Flynsarmy: we didn't say buggy, it's just not as fast on lower-end hardware as XFCE.
[03:19] <devn> how do i change the resolution/font of my console?
[03:20] <rexy> i have tried it once, but it didnt stick
[03:20] <larson9999> i configure gnome, xfxe, kde to look pretty much the same
[03:20] <devn> (note: not in a window manager)
[03:20] <neozen> USA
[03:20] <jarrod_> astro76 found the book- different authors- does it have the fish on it?
[03:20] <slestak|away> anyone have ubuntu on a dell e1*05 or inspiron 6000?
[03:20] <neozen> chicago specifically
[03:20] <cdm10> devn: you need to change the vga line in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:20] <gerro> neozen: ah rare I see someone do the ::
[03:20] <devn> cdm10: does that include my font?
[03:20] <pabneedsmoney> anyone here know how to fire up apache on this ubuntu box?
[03:20] <slestak|away> ive got probs with sound solid on left channel, drifts in and out on right channel
[03:20] <cdm10> devn: it'll change the resolution that's used for the vttys
[03:20] <rexy> devn http://www.google.com/search?q=font+console+linux
[03:21] <devn> thanks
[03:21] <astro76> jarrod_, yes it's the fish book :)
[03:21] <cdm10> devn: you'll want to change it on the "defoptions" line of the file, which you'll need to edit with < gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst > and then you'll need to run < sudo update-grub > and reboot
[03:21] <nickrud> pabneedsmoney, sudo aptitude install apache2  and dump your stuff in /var/www
[03:21] <rexy> slestak: i have it on a Dell C610
[03:21] <ThatLazyGuy> How can i place the windows on top of the panel  in Xubuntu?
[03:21] <cdm10> devn: I'm not sure what VGA number code you need, though
[03:22] <slestak> rexy: is your sound pretty solid on both stereo channels?
[03:22] <jarrod_> astro76 good thanks, and how often does shell scripting come into play?
[03:22] <devn> cdm10: yeah i just realized its just one number
[03:22] <devn> currently its set to 791, but its commented out
[03:22] <cdm10> devn: yeah, defoptions is supposed to be commented out
[03:23] <neozen> ThatLazyGuy: you don't to my knowledge
[03:23] <Logikos> rexy: i cant dclick the drive because its not removable, i opened a terminal and i'm trying to remember how to mount the thing ... i tryed mount -t /dev/hda1 /mnt ... and it didnt work what am i missing, and after i mount it, where do i find the passwd file ?
[03:23] <cdm10> devn: don't just randomly change it, though... I'm googling for a reference on what number code corresponds to what resolution
[03:23] <rexy> slestak: yeah, but you probably have a different sound card
[03:23] <rexy> my laptop is like 4 years old already
[03:23] <neozen> ThatLazyGuy: panel is always on top in xfce4 to my knowledge
[03:23] <slestak> i should check google.  thx
[03:23] <devn> cdm, im looking for 1280x1024
[03:23] <cdm10> devn: ok, i'll try to find that
[03:23] <rexy> Logikos:  mount /dev/device /mount/ppoint
[03:23] <neozen> ThatLazyGuy: probably a configuration file somewhere can override it
[03:23] <Cribbens> Howdy! How do I stop ubuntu from automounting partitions?
[03:23] <MrCollins> brb
[03:23] <cdm10> Cribbens: remove them from /etc/fstab
[03:24] <Cribbens> cdm10: thanks!
[03:24] <ThatLazyGuy> neozen: thanks =)
[03:24] <devn> thanks cdm, im protesting the window manager, so im apt-getting lynx right now
[03:24] <rexy> links is better
[03:24] <neozen> ThatLazyGuy: can always autohide the panel
[03:24] <ThatLazyGuy> neozen: the panel shadow is covering the windows
[03:24] <astro76> jarrod_, I have second edition, 5 out of 11 chapters cover shell scripting specifically
[03:24] <OPTIMusprime1212> y do people in ubunut-effects ignore questions for?
[03:24] <neozen> neozen: ahh....
[03:24] <l0l0l> hi everyone
[03:24] <rexy> OPTIMusprime1212: probably they are afk, or dont know the answer
[03:24] <cdm10> devn: hey, i think i found what you need. Here are the numbers for that res:
[03:24] <neozen> ThatLazyGuy: might want to seek help in #xubuntu
[03:24] <devn> go for it
[03:25] <OPTIMusprime1212> well rexy the worst thng to do is ignore someone and tick them off
[03:25] <Blackknight> hello
[03:25] <neozen> ThatLazyGuy: last I checked they're still awake over there
[03:25] <neozen> hoallo Blackknight
[03:25] <gabrielmonnerat> i have problem with compilation of zope. shows this message "Versions 2.4.2 also work, but not as optimally."
[03:25] <rexy> OPTIMusprime1212: the world doesnt spring into action just because you ask a question, be patient and wait
[03:25] <OPTIMusprime1212> i have waited rexy 20 min
[03:25] <Blackknight> does anybody know how to get a usb keyboard to work?
[03:25] <devn> rexy: unless that question is: do you want free money?
[03:26] <cdm10> devn: 8bit is 775, 15bit is 793, 16bit is 794, and 24bit is 795
[03:26] <jarrod_> astro76 awsome i think this will be choice.
[03:26] <OPTIMusprime1212> 20 min and not one responce not even to a hello
[03:26] <mebaran151_> why can't gedit have syntax highlighting like the vim....
[03:26] <Blackknight> it does
[03:26] <rexy> hello is for offtopic
[03:26] <neozen> OPTIMusprime1212: ...keep in mind..... people don't monitor chatroom fulltime
[03:26] <rexy> :P
[03:26] <mebaran151_> Blacknight, not in the same league though
[03:26] <devn> cdm, hm okay, so there's no talk of resolution?
[03:26] <cdm10> devn: i'd recommend finding the highest one that works
[03:26] <rexy> resolution is for wm's ;)
[03:26] <cdm10> devn: all of those are for 1280x1024
[03:26] <inbitado34> where do i install GDM themes ???  which folder ??
[03:26] <devn> its just a bit-depth dependent resolution?
[03:26] <devn> ah okay
[03:26] <devn> thanks
[03:26] <neozen> OPTIMusprime1212: quite frequently, people monitor several channels at once..... can be difficult to keep up w/ them all
[03:26] <mebaran151_> I arguably prefer Gedit's interface, especially for buffers
[03:26] <cdm10> devn: i did all the work for you :)
[03:27] <mebaran151_> but it's syntax highlighting is painfully bad
[03:27] <Blackknight> I like joe
[03:27] <cdm10> inbitado34: just drag 'em into System>Administration>Login Window i think
[03:27] <devn> cdm10: i appreciate it
[03:27] <cdm10> np
[03:27] <rexy> he wanted to go bareback, get googling with links
[03:27] <astro76> jarrod_, I highly recommend it
[03:27] <neozen> OPTIMusprime1212: (for instance ... I'm monitoring 6 right now)
[03:27] <Logikos> rexy: ok i did vim /etc/passwd ... and i see root, and many others, but i dont see any of my normal logins ... or any passwords ?
[03:27] <Blackknight> is there a module I need for the keyboard?
[03:27] <MrCollins> question
[03:27] <OPTIMusprime1212> jeesh neozen y?
[03:27] <MrCollins> when I disabled my proprietary drivers *Nvidia
[03:27] <mneptok> Logikos: you cannot edit /etc/passwd with an editor.
[03:27] <mneptok> Logikos: what are you trying to do?
[03:28] <MrCollins> my X windows is now just all white after I login....
[03:28] <devn> brb
[03:28] <MrCollins> what can I do?
[03:28] <rexy> my Desktop effects wont turn on when i enable them, i just get some white blobs. The wm appears to be restarting but that's pretty much it, cant do anything but kill the stuff
[03:28] <MrCollins> im in irssi from command line
[03:28] <cdm10> rexy: do you have your drivers set up?
[03:28] <MrCollins> terminal
[03:28] <mneptok> MrCollins: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:28] <rexy> cdm10: yeah ati driver
[03:28] <^majik^> was there a recent MySQL 5.0 update that caused mysqld to not start?
[03:28] <rexy> says DRI rendering works
[03:28] <MrCollins> k
[03:28] <cdm10> rexy: hmm, i dunno... sorry i can't help you
[03:29] <rexy> MrCollins: did you say you removed the nvidia drivers?
[03:29] <Blackknight> check the X error log
[03:29] <carla> i need help with ubuntu
[03:29] <carla> please please please
[03:29] <rexy> !question
[03:29] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:29] <cdm10> !ask | carla
[03:29] <ubotu> carla: please see above
[03:29] <Logikos> mneptok: my 6.01 LTS server system wont let me login, when i login with any correct username and pass it starts to login telling me the last login date/time, then tells me that there have been 3 failed logins, then kicks me out, if i use any wrong username/pass, it simply says login incorrect, rexy advised me to boot to live cd, and now i have a terminal window open to that drive ... not sure what for yet, please help if you can
[03:29] <cdm10> rexy: heh, faster than me :
[03:29] <cdm10> )
[03:29] <neozen> OPTIMusprime1212: one for lug for college, one for xubuntu, (since it's what I run and thus, know best), one for this channel, since its always filled w/ people looking for help, one for foresight linux (small distro based on a revolutionary package management concept that's caught my interest), and finally one I monitor for social reasons
[03:29] <cdm10> damn, :)
[03:29] <MrCollins> rexy: yes
[03:30] <rexy> Logikos: what is in the passwd file, the root line
[03:30] <mneptok> Logikos: do you have an ssh server installed?
[03:30] <Blackknight> sounds like me
[03:30] <OPTIMusprime1212> anyone know hwo to use beryl real good?
[03:30] <rexy> MrCollins: most likely it ist still trying to boot the old drivers
[03:30] <OPTIMusprime1212> ah i got u neozen
[03:30] <rexy> !Xreconfigure
[03:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xreconfigure - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:30] <carla> ok i installed ubuntu .... never used it before and now i'm with some black screen and cant do anything but enter my pass and user name
[03:30] <Logikos> mneptok: yes
[03:30] <mneptok> rexy: root does not have a password in Ubuntu
[03:30] <MrCollins> rexy: how do i fix? I will do what mneptok said
[03:30] <Blackknight> sounds like a console login
[03:30] <mneptok> Logikos: boot the machine normally. when it gets to the GDM login screen, try ssh-ing in as a known-good user.
[03:31] <Logikos> rexy: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
[03:31] <rexy> well thats' not the problem then
[03:31] <Cribbens> when I use gparted from the live cd to create & format partitions it seems to work, but I was wondering: shouldn't it take a while to format like 180GB of fat32? It seems to be so fast that I wonder whether it worked correctly
[03:31] <Logikos> mneptok: ssh login doesnt work either, i've tryed
[03:31] <mneptok> Logikos: what error do you get? exactly?
[03:31] <OPTIMusprime1212> anyone in here know how to run beryl and use it real good
[03:31] <Logikos> mneptok: i have at least 2 known good user/pass combinations
[03:31] <carla> when i reboot i must choose between xp and generic
[03:31] <rexy> MrCollins: you need to reconfigure the X server
[03:32] <MrCollins> mneptok: is the bus iD what I get when I do lspci?
[03:32] <mneptok> MrCollins: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:32] <rexy> dpkg xorg-commons --reconfigure i think, anyone confurm?
[03:32] <MrCollins> i did
[03:32] <MrCollins> i am in that mneptok
[03:32] <neozen> OPTIMusprime1212: there's a ton of good tutorials for beryl/compiz/compiz-fusion in the forums
[03:32] <rexy> do a grep /etc/X11/xorg.conf nvidia
[03:32] <mneptok> MrCollins: accept the defaults, except for driver and resolutions. choose the ones you want to use.
[03:32] <neozen> OPTIMusprime1212: and if you're on a thinkpad, there's a whole site to help: thinkwiki.org
[03:32] <Logikos> mneptok: when i use a good user/pass i dont get an error, i get normal stuff, last login etc, then kicks me out
[03:32] <MrCollins> thx rexy and mneptok
[03:32] <rexy> oh nvm me then
[03:32] <rexy> do the dpkg thing
[03:32] <Logikos> mneptok: i can paste it to you in pm if you want
[03:33] <vrkhans> hi i am installing E and I got this error msg No package 'theora' found
[03:33] <mneptok> Logikos: sounds like bad shell environment variables
[03:33] <vrkhans> what should i do
[03:33] <kode4u_> is there some software can capture screen to movie?
[03:33] <OPTIMusprime1212> well neozen i was jsut wanting to know how to make beryl do the unfold like all four desktops side by side like fusion does and beable to switch to them with out a prob and they stay that way
[03:33] <cdm10> kode4u_: yep, i recommend gtk-recordMyDesktop
[03:33] <mneptok> Logikos: boot to recovery mode and rm any .bash* files in the home dir of the affected users
[03:33] <Logikos> mneptok: from the councel (not from remote ssh) it does say something about there have been 3 failed login atempts right before it kicks out
[03:33] <cdm10> kode4u_: it's in Add/Remove
[03:33] <OPTIMusprime1212> neozen: i have tried looking it up nothing on that
[03:33] <cdm10> kode4u_: there's also Istanbul, but that doesn't work well for me.
[03:33] <neozen> OPTIMusprime1212: why not just run compiz-fusion?
[03:33] <carla> how do i remove ubuntu from my laptop? i also have xp and don't want to remove it....
[03:34] <kode4u_> cdm10, oh, I'll try it. Thank you.
[03:34] <pawan> hi
[03:34] <pawan> what is ubuntu tribe five
[03:34] <larson9999> remove ubuntu? egads!
[03:34] <neozen> hoallo pawan
[03:34] <OPTIMusprime1212> neozen: i have tried ten seconds in or i mess with one thing it crashes and i cant fix it thus install uninstall install and uninstall
[03:34] <Logikos> mneptok: to the best of my knowldege it affects all users, however conviently all of the user names are my own... what will that do if i do that?
[03:34] <cdm10> pawan: it's the latest alpha development version of Ubuntu 7.10 (codename gutsy)
[03:34] <vrkhans> does any one help me in that
[03:34] <carla> dont know what else to do!!
[03:35] <mneptok> Logikos: rm /home/$USER/.bash*
[03:35] <vrkhans> i am trying to install E and got this msg No package 'theora' found
[03:35] <rexy> pawan: alpha software, not for normal use
[03:35] <neozen> pawan: tribes are like alpha releases..... they might work... but they're mainly for testing... don't use them if you don't want to risk something breaking, going boom, or not working at all
[03:35] <Logikos> mneptok: and how do i boot to recovery mode, with the original cd?
[03:35] <MrCollins> ok thanks mneptok
[03:35] <mneptok> Logikos: from the GRUB menu
[03:35] <neozen> OPTIMusprime1212: ....bummer...
[03:35] <MrCollins> how do I kill and restart X without reboot?
[03:35] <cdm10> carla, this may not work, but you could try deleting the Ubuntu partition and resizing your Windows partition back to full size, then using your Windows install disk to restore the bootloader.
[03:35] <cdm10> MrCollins: ctrl-alt-backspace
[03:35] <pawan> ok
[03:35] <neozen> OPTIMusprime1212: does compiz alone have the effect you want?
[03:35] <Logikos> mneptok: i have no grub menu unless i boot to a cd
[03:35] <MrCollins> thx cdm10
[03:35] <rexy> MrCollins sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart if you are in a console
[03:35] <cdm10> Logikos: hit escape when you boot, it'll come up
[03:35] <vrkhans> error: Package requirements (ecore
[03:35] <vrkhans>            ecore-x
[03:35] <vrkhans>            imlib2

[03:36] <Logikos> cdm10: thanks
[03:36] <OPTIMusprime1212> no neozen but i know fusion does and not sure if beryl does
[03:36] <vrkhans> what should I do
[03:36] <rexy> !paste
[03:36] <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)
[03:36] <mneptok> Logikos: "Press ESC to enter the GRUB menu"  5 4 3 2 1
[03:36] <cdm10> MrCollins: you can also do ctrl-alt-f1, log in, and do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:36] <neozen> MrCollins: cntrl-alt-backspace
[03:36] <mneptok> ^^ every boot ^^
[03:36] <the_guy> hieveryone
[03:36] <cdm10> MrCollins: rexy's thing won't work in a normal terminal
[03:36] <kitche> !info theora | vrkhans
[03:36] <carla> how do i resize the partition?
[03:36] <ubotu> vrkhans: Package theora does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[03:36] <neozen> MrCollins: press it at any time...
[03:36] <OPTIMusprime1212> hi thee the_guy
[03:36] <the_guy> anyone know about totem for kubuntu
[03:36] <OPTIMusprime1212> there*
[03:36] <MrCollins> thx everyone!
[03:36] <MrCollins> but
[03:36] <cdm10> carla: boot the Ubuntu LiveCD and go to System>Administration>GNOME Partition Editor.
[03:36] <MrCollins> the X is still white....
[03:36] <rexy> cdm10: err why wont it work from the console?
[03:37] <vrkhans> so what should I do
[03:37] <neozen> MrCollins: hmm.... what kind of graphics card have you got in the beast?
[03:37] <carla> i'll try that
[03:37] <MrCollins> Nvidia Geforce 2
[03:37] <mneptok> vrkhans: libtheora-bin
[03:37] <neozen> MrCollins: that'd be why
[03:37] <cdm10> rexy: if you try it in a normal desktop terminal, it'll start the restart script thingy, which will kill x, thus killing the terminal, leaving gdm only stopped and not restarted :)
[03:37] <bluebanana> is there a linux command that will give the answer for 6/15/07 + 90 days?
[03:37] <MrCollins> ok,,
[03:37] <Blackknight> yes
[03:37] <cdm10> rexy: as soon as that kills off x, it'll also kill the script that's supposed to be starting x back up
[03:37] <mneptok> MrCollins: did you install nVidia drivers?
[03:38] <icone> hllo
[03:38] <rexy> well those are called shells right :P
[03:38] <OPTIMusprime1212> neozen i got a intel i810 is that prob why fusion crashes? it handles beryl fine
[03:38] <MrCollins> mneptok: yes
[03:38] <rexy> not consoles :D
[03:38] <Blackknight> bluebanana, try the date command
[03:38] <mneptok> MrCollins: how did you do that?
[03:38] <cdm10> rexy: i guess :)
[03:38] <MrCollins> back a few days ago and it went 640x480
[03:38] <the_guy> alright
[03:38] <bluebanana> Blackknight, ok. thanks
[03:38] <Blackknight> or use python
[03:38] <MrCollins> from the nvidia package from apt-get
[03:38] <icone> can anyone help me ? I need a php editor
[03:38] <rexy> icone any editor can produce php code
[03:38] <mneptok> icone: sudo apt-get install bluefish
[03:38] <MrCollins> or was the autoinstaller? either one...
[03:38] <neozen> MrCollins: ::shrugs:: I've got friends that have the intel950 card.... it uses the i810 driver.... but they say beryl, compiz, and compiz-fusion all work just fine
[03:38] <rexy> you can use gedit it has php support i think, or kate
[03:38] <vrkhans> mneptok: thanks
[03:38] <mneptok> MrCollins: nvidia-glx?
[03:38] <Blackknight> gedit, vim, pico, whatever
[03:38] <MrCollins> yes mneptok
[03:39] <vrkhans> how did you find this
[03:39] <cdm10> rexy: those do syntax highlighting and nothing more
[03:39] <icone> ok (Y)
[03:39] <nickrud> icone, gphpedit is trying
[03:39] <icone> gonna check it out
[03:39] <cdm10> rexy: actually, i don't know kate, but that's all gedit does
[03:39] <OPTIMusprime1212> uh neozen that was to wrong person lol
[03:39] <bluebanana> Blackknight, "man date" has no math functions
[03:39] <mneptok> MrCollins: grep /etc/X11/xorg.conf nv
[03:39] <vrkhans> if i need to find some other files what should I do
[03:39] <MrCollins> ok
[03:39] <mneptok> MrCollins: what do you get?
[03:39] <MrCollins> one sec
[03:39] <rexy> yeah kate only does that too, no additional checks
[03:39] <OPTIMusprime1212> but i get u neozen
[03:39] <neozen> yep... that it was... sorry 'bout that
[03:39] <kitche> cdm10, well there is no php editor anyways so all it does anywho is syntax highlightening and such
[03:39] <GNine> that #beryl/compiz_fusion channel was scarily useless
[03:39] <neozen> OPTIMusprime1212: long day at the office staring @ java code
[03:40] <cdm10> kitche: i'm assuming php has some sort of indentation conventions...
[03:40] <Blackknight> bluebanana, you'll probably need to scrpt t
[03:40] <rexy> heu only python has those :D
[03:40] <Blackknight> python, perl, php, whatever
[03:40] <OPTIMusprime1212> neozen then i am thnking that it then got installed the wrong way then
[03:40] <MrCollins> nv no such file or directory
[03:40] <bluebanana> Blackknight, well i found http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html.
[03:40] <bluebanana> thanks
[03:40] <Blackknight> ok
[03:40] <nickrud> icone, also, eclipse has a php editor, it's the one from zend. works nice. you can find it on eclipseplugins.org
[03:40] <cdm10> rexy: no, python requires indentation, but most languages have indentation conventions that make code easier to understand.
[03:41] <Tangaroa> I'm embarassed to ask, but is there a tool to autodetect your maximum screen resolution? I don't want to hack the xorg.conf file because I don't know what my vidcard is capable of. X11 used to come with XConfig or something like that which would do it, but I don't seem to have it.
[03:41] <rexy> cdm10: yeah to read, humans...
[03:41] <Logikos> mneptok: i did mkdir bkup ... mv .bash* ./bkup ... should have the same effect right ?
[03:41] <OPTIMusprime1212> neozen mind if i send u a pm so we dont flood the chan? if not tis all good
[03:41] <MrCollins> mneptok: it says nv no such file or directory
[03:41] <kitche> cdm10, not really since it's just interpreted code just like python perl among others
[03:41] <neozen> Tangaroa: well... if you have a intel..... scope out 915resolution
[03:41] <cdm10> Tangaroa: I don't know, but if you know how to edit xorg.conf from the console, or at least restore a backup of it, you don't need to worry about messing it up.
[03:41] <neozen> Tangaroa: that'll turn your card upside down and shake it down for information
[03:42] <neozen> Tangaroa: only works on intel cards though
[03:42] <icone> nickrud but eclipse isn't part of Zend pay Package
[03:42] <MrCollins> hrmm
[03:42] <mneptok> MrCollins: grep nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:42] <icone> ?
[03:42] <the_guy> okay imma throw this out here, i am trying to stream video off  gbs.tv and everytime the end of a video comes it closes totem, anyone know a fix?
[03:42] <mneptok> MrCollins: sorry, brainfart
[03:42] <nickrud> icone, yes, but the editor plugin is free :)
[03:42] <mneptok> Logikos: correct
[03:42] <icone> ahh
[03:42] <cdm10> kitche: well, i meant as a means of making it easier to read for humans. Python actually requires indentation, so it's sort of different. Some editors (emacs/xemacs, for example) can auto-indent Perl and other types of code for readability
[03:42] <icone> cool
[03:42] <MrCollins> its cool now I know the proper syntax from the mistake
[03:42] <Tangaroa> neozen: Sounds nifty. I have an nvidia, though. Not sure what it's actual chipset is, but I'm sure I could find out
[03:42] <Logikos> mneptok: now what? simply reboot and try to login ?
[03:42] <nickrud> icone, eclispse.org (it's also in the repos)
[03:42] <MrCollins> grep 'search' 'directory'
[03:42] <MrCollins> :)
[03:42] <MrCollins> thanks
[03:43] <MrCollins> ok it says Driver "nv"
[03:43] <kitche> cdm10, hmm none of my code for python is indented
[03:43] <vrkhans> mneptok: it doesnt help actually the whole error is:         Package requirements (ecore  ecore-x imlib2 theora) were not met: I did install the libtheora but what about the other ones
[03:43] <cdm10> kitche: well, then you haven't used any loops/ifs/blocks
[03:43] <rexy> no loops no functions then?
[03:43] <neozen> nickrud: question..... what's the php-dev plugin for eclipse called?
[03:43] <MrCollins> Tangaroa: lspci tells ago
[03:43] <MrCollins> alot
[03:43] <nickrud> neozen, pdt
[03:43] <mneptok> MrCollins: edit that file and change "nv" to "nvidia" and see wha'ppens
[03:43] <MrCollins> ok
[03:43] <cdm10> kitche: well, that means you need to learn more python :)
[03:43] <MrCollins> one sec
[03:43] <neozen> nickrud: thankee
[03:43] <kitche> cdm10, not really sicne I use loops and other things indents just make it easier to read for the human
[03:43] <rexy> mneptok: maybe reinstall some GL stuff too not sure if nvidia stuff messes with those
[03:44] <mneptok> vrkhans: ugh. this is why i use OpenBox and GNOME :)
[03:44] <cdm10> kitche: that's completely not true. Python REQUIRES indentation of loops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python (language)
[03:44] <cdm10> damn
[03:44] <nickrud> neozen, http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/
[03:44] <neozen> nickrud: thankee
[03:44] <vrkhans> what are the other name I can download, because theora works fine
[03:44] <MrCollins> mneptok: what is the key to switch to edit in vi?
[03:44] <Blackknight> white space is significant
[03:44] <MrCollins> i forget
[03:44] <icone> nickrud tnks bro
[03:44] <cdm10> kitche: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28programming_language%29#Syntax_and_semantics
[03:44] <vrkhans> i did install it
[03:45] <mneptok> MrCollins: i use nano. i loathe vi. :)
[03:45] <MrCollins> alt-s?
[03:45] <Logikos> mneptok: ok, so then with the .bash* files moved do i simply reboot and try to login ? or what ?
[03:45] <rexy> it's the one true python fallacy :/
[03:45] <mneptok> MrCollins: sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf :)
[03:45] <Blackknight> it's i for insert
[03:45] <MrCollins> mneptok: ok
[03:45] <cdm10> rexy: that's so not true, forced indentation rocks :)
[03:45] <MrCollins> vi is so much quicker
[03:45] <MrCollins> :)
[03:45] <MrCollins> ok
[03:45] <mneptok> Logikos: yeah, see if you can login
[03:45] <Logikos> mneptok: k, sec
[03:45] <larson9999> xe is the best editor
[03:45] <rexy> cdm10: autoformmaters suit me fine
[03:45] <jeska> Do you know how I can get linuxthread support in Fiesty with glibc 2.5. :<
[03:45] <Blackknight> yeah, it's a good thing
[03:45] <vrkhans> mneptok: how you did you find the name for throra
[03:46] <mneptok> vrkhans: apt-cache search theora
[03:46] <cdm10> rexy: well, my friend doesn't indent his perl code, and it's hell to read without schlepping it into emacs and indenting it
[03:46] <larson9999> hope this upgrade to gutsy goes well
[03:46] <rexy> hence the autoformatter
[03:46] <mneptok> cdm10: could be worse. he could write Brainfsck or APL :)
[03:46] <bingway> testing
[03:46] <cdm10> mneptok: ha
[03:47] <scipio> quit
[03:47] <cdm10> scipio: try /quit
[03:47] <cdm10> ha
[03:47] <rexy> or he could be coding in the whitespace langauge
[03:47] <cdm10> rexy: ooh, that one's nasty
[03:47] <cdm10> rexy: i love how they have what's called "syntax highlighting" for that one
[03:47] <Lucasg3> vixi
[03:47] <mneptok> http://mneptok.com/beer.pl   <--- awesome Perl golf
[03:47] <Don9307> Where can one find good perl instruction without buying the books?
[03:47] <rexy> lol
[03:47] <craigbass1976> pdf2html isn't working; can't even make the blasted thing.  is there anything else that I can use to automate extraction of into from a pdf?
[03:47] <MrCollins> mneptok: failed to start the X server
[03:47] <cdm10> Don9307: buy a book, it's worth it... try Learning Perl
[03:48] <Mulder> so yeah, /dev/parport0 is missing on my feisty installation.  how do i get it back?
[03:48] <Lucasg3> djvu:  gente...
[03:48] <scratchme> Hi all.  Because I like to share solutions, if anyone ever gets an error running SQL Developer from Oracle that looks like this:   error instantiating 'java.util.logging.FileHandler,' referenced by handlers, class not found
[03:48] <MrCollins> would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem
[03:48] <MrCollins> mneptok: erg
[03:48] <mneptok> MrCollins: sudo apt-get autoremove nvidia-glx && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:48] <cdm10> Pelo: lol
[03:48] <MrCollins> ok
[03:48] <Logikos> mneptok: same thing, except instead of 3 failuers it says 1 failer since last login now.... :\
[03:48] <djvu> Lucasg3: muita gente
[03:49] <scratchme> Just be sure your java home is set correctly.  Use env to see if you have the JAVA_HOME.  If not, add it using:   export JAVA_HOME=jdkfolderhere
[03:49] <Pelo> scratchme,   put it in the forum,  use the error as the title of your post
[03:49] <mneptok> MrCollins: use the nv driver. choose the resolutions you want to use. otherwise accept the defaults.
[03:49] <Don9307> I don't like reinventing the wheel, Pelo.
[03:49] <neozen> mneptok: holy $#R$#@$@#$@#
[03:49] <scratchme> Pelo, what forum?
[03:49] <mneptok> neozen: toldya :)

[03:53] <Pelo> newtubuntu,  I can tell you how to setup a fax but that's prettymuch it ,  there should be something about modem answering machine type stuff in synaptic if there is such a thing
[03:53] <cello_rasp> hi. the tty/console is rendered zoomed-in. How do i get ubuntu to pay attention to a resolution?
[03:54] <slashzul> how do you add a startup program to /etc/init.d/ ?
[03:54] <MrCollins> yay! its white again instead of failing
[03:54] <Pelo> scratchme, I have no idea, do what is best , but I expect  regular search for the error msg will check everycathegory

[03:54] <mneptok> http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/BulletProofX/
[03:54] <cello_rasp> good fax software is rare on any platform
[03:54] <MrCollins> mneptok: what is that?
[03:54] <slashzul> is there an ubuntu startup program for adding /etc/init.d/programs ?
[03:54] <cello_rasp> nano :)
[03:54] <Pelo> cello_rasp, it is not great on linux but it works
[03:55] <MrCollins> mneptok: what is bulletproofx

[03:55] <hrp2171> hello, i would like to keep up with the latest and greatest in ubuntu world, how can i do that?
[03:56] <MrCollins> hrp2171: wait until the new releases come out
[03:56] <slashzul> is there an ubuntu startup program for adding /etc/init.d/programs ?
[03:56] <MrCollins> disbale that damn auto updater
[03:56] <hrp2171> basically i want to upgrade everytime a new release comes out that's not LTS
[03:56] <slashzul> I have a custom program that i want to start as a server...
[03:56] <hrp2171> like gutsy gibbon
[03:56] <slashzul> cant use ubuntu gui
[03:56] <cello_rasp> how do i change the tty resolution?
[03:56] <cello_rasp> scratch that
[03:56] <pawan> hello
[03:56] <Pelo> slashzul,  you can make launchers in ~/.config/autostart
[03:56] <bingway> testing
[03:57] <astro76> slashzul, look into update-rc.d
[03:57] <nickrud> icone, I used the eclipse download site, not the one from the repos. Then went and installed the plugin
[03:57] <bjames> anyone?
[03:57] <CodemasterMM> hm..
[03:57] <hrp2171> i would like to know what to put in sources.list to upgrade to gutsy
[03:57] <Pelo> bjames,  try reiinsaling ndiswrapper  that's all I can suggest
[03:57] <bjames> tried that
[03:57] <astro76> !gutsy | hrp2171
[03:57] <ubotu> hrp2171: 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
[03:57] <bjames> hmm
[03:57] <bjames> cheers anyway
[03:57] <CodemasterMM> is there any way i can mount a directory on boot? fstab normally would work in this case, but the directory is based on the user's username and GID
[03:58] <Pelo> bjames,  look up the eror msg in the forum
[03:58] <slashzul> i want just a startup program when server starts up before i log in
[03:58] <bjames> url?
[03:58] <nickrud> slashzul, just drop the program in /etc/init.d/ and run sudo update-rc.d <script> defaults
[03:58] <bjames> (sorry)
[03:58] <mneptok> CodemasterMM: you don't mount directories, you mount partitions.
[03:58] <Pelo> CodemasterMM, my answer to that is probably,  the ppl in ##linux are probably better to answer this
[03:58] <slashzul> thanks nickrud
[03:58] <slashzul> worked
[03:58] <Pelo> bjames,   www.ubuntuforums.org
[03:58] <bjames> thanks
[03:59] <CodemasterMM> mneptok: well, i'm mounting a samba share, actually, but I digress
[03:59] <icone> hey guys ... for those who have important info on their PC look 4      truecrypt
[03:59] <icone> neat
[03:59] <cello_rasp> for barebones startup programs, i always prefer a few lines at the end of .bashrc, or a pointer to a startup bash script
[03:59] <CodemasterMM> cello_rasp: so you would recommend modifying .bashrc/
[03:59] <mneptok> CodemasterMM: use GNOME vfs and session data
[03:59] <zerokill88> how do i change gnome to kde?
[03:59] <CodemasterMM> mneptok: well, this is for ssh sessions to be honest :)
[04:00] <MrCollins> ok mneptok i see
[04:00] <MrCollins> so u want me to try nvfoo?
[04:00] <Pelo> zerokill88,  sudo apt-get install  kubuntu-desktop   , you can then select which desktop from the login
[04:00] <mneptok> MrCollins: i want you to try "vesa"
[04:00] <cello_rasp> CodemasterMM: .bashrc runs when user logs in. you can get automatic login scripts if you don want to do it manually
[04:00] <zerokill88> Pelo thanks
[04:00] <mneptok> MrCollins: replace "nv" or "nvidia" in that "Driver" line with "vesa"
[04:00] <CodemasterMM> cello_rasp: where would I get those at?
[04:01] <MrCollins> i did already
[04:01] <MrCollins> and it went white
[04:01] <CodemasterMM> cello_rasp: also, i would prefer if the users didn't modify the file
[04:01] <zerokill88> pelo lol my god thats a whole new os
[04:01] <Pelo> zerokill88,  not quite but there is a lot that is different
[04:01] <mneptok> MrCollins: then you have very serious BIOS or hardware issues.
[04:01] <CodemasterMM> cello_rasp: so perhaps i could create a "global" .bashrc that calculates the mount based on the usrename and GID and make it only editable by root?
[04:02] <zerokill88> pelo 516 mb? not quite? a hundred mb off
[04:02] <MrCollins> mneptok: it worked fine until i did some kind of nvidia update
[04:02] <mneptok> MrCollins: then your X configurantion is hosed
[04:02] <MrCollins> :(
[04:02] <Pelo> zerokill88,  well the kernel stuff and the divers you already have
[04:02] <Flynsarmy> Is there a way to add a 'Minimize to system tray' button to the close/maximize/minimise set at the top right?
[04:02] <cello_rasp> CodmasterMM: I have posted this stuff on ubuntuforums.
[04:02] <mneptok> MrCollins: and every time that has happened to any user of Ubuntu i have ever encountered, the recofigure fixes it
[04:02] <zerokill88> Pelo ya how do i just get teh deskotp
[04:02] <Pelo> zerokill88,  sudo apt-get install kde might possibly do to but I am not sure
[04:02] <cello_rasp> CodmasterMM: That is a good idea, try using a bash script for the mount-user calculator
[04:02] <nickrud> Flynsarmy, no, that has to be done programmatically
[04:03] <CodemasterMM> okay, thanks.
[04:03] <mneptok> MrCollins: run reconfigure again. choose the VESA driver, and only 800x600 resolution.
[04:03] <zerokill88> pelo ok i will check it out
[04:03] <cello_rasp> TBH, SMB & multiple users is a huge can of worms that should be opened with much experience
[04:03] <CodemasterMM> cello_rasp: would you recommend something else?
[04:03] <Pelo> zerokill88,  you'll get a butload of  dependencies
[04:04] <CodemasterMM> basically, i am trying to store everyone's home directory on a cenetralized server
[04:04] <cello_rasp> CodmasterMM: no, it can be done. Explain yr situation again pls
[04:04] <cello_rasp> ok
[04:04] <mattg> need some help
[04:04] <mneptok> CodemasterMM: so /fstab /home as an NFS share
[04:04] <mattg> with mounting
[04:04] <CodemasterMM> (their accounts are pulled from LDAP, but that doesn't matter)
[04:04] <Pelo> mattg,  we need better questions
[04:04] <zerokill88> pelo ya true i guess i should install a fresh kubuntu if i want it
[04:04] <nickrud> zerokill88, I wouldn't recommend installing the kde metapackage, it's provided by debian and unaltered by ubuntu.
[04:04] <CodemasterMM> cello_rasp: NFS shares? i haven't read into them - do you have any recommendations on what to read about them?
[04:05] <mneptok> CodemasterMM: mount the enthire NFS share and let Unix logins and perms sort the rest.
[04:05] <CodemasterMM> ok
[04:05] <cello_rasp> as i understand the thin client stuff handles a remote /home anyway ??
[04:05] <mattg> here's what i have, first off, (2) 100gb hard drives.  now, how do i set it up so that they are seperate drives on ubuntu.  haven't installed yet
[04:05] <zerokill88> nickrud how aobut xfce
[04:05] <CodemasterMM> hm, ok
[04:05] <CodemasterMM> that's interesting
[04:05] <CodemasterMM> i'll google around NFS Sharing to get a bit more info on it
[04:06] <mneptok> zerokill88: you want "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[04:06] <larson9999> well, here comes the reboot after gutsy upgrade.  wish me luck.
[04:06] <Pelo> mattg, you can specify what you want where by ussing  manual partitionning during the installatioin process
[04:06] <mattg> i dont wanna be readin a bunch of stuff, either, so please don't point me to any sites.  i need this done asap.
[04:06] <zerokill88> mneptok yes i know but the download is 516mb!
[04:06] <mneptok> zerokill88: what are you looking to do?
[04:06] <mattg> what do i put for mount points, tho?
[04:06] <nickrud> zerokill88, I'd say xubuntu-desktop rather than the xfce4, it looks like it's a unaltered debian package also.
[04:07] <mneptok> zerokill88: just get another WM in case GNOME craps out? a failsafe?
[04:07] <Ashfire908> I'm installing a text based version of ubuntu (the one on the alternate desktop cd) and it's asking me which kernel to use. Which one do i pick and what's the difference between the options?
[04:07] <zerokill88> mneptok just change gnome to kde or xfce
[04:07] <_majik_> I have a mysql problem.. what's going on here: http://rafb.net/p/hUmfQn56.html
[04:07] <zerokill88> nickrud ok i will check that out
[04:07] <Pelo> mattg,  well you'll need  / for the os /swap , and /home,  and you can put your other hdd in /mnt/whatever
[04:07] <mneptok> zerokill88: if you want to change an entire DE, it's gonna be a big download.
[04:07] <mattg> pelo: how big do each need to be?
[04:07] <mneptok> !info kubuntu-desktop
[04:07] <ubotu> kubuntu-desktop: Kubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.32ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 15 kB, installed size 44 kB
[04:08] <Ashfire908> The options are "linux-generic", "linux-image-generic", and "linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic"
[04:08] <nickrud> zerokill88, 516mb, that's nothing. My gutsy update is taking about 1.4gb :)
[04:08] <mrcollins> what is the command once more to reconfigure X?

[04:21] <mattg> thx pelo, ur lotsa help.  might be hitting u up frequently to learn new deals
[04:21] <mattg> no prob, pelo
[04:21] <lavacano201014> so a friend of mine had ubuntu, but switched to windows after the network setting permanently died out
[04:21] <Pelo> mattg,  others are also available
[04:21] <lavacano201014> he reinstalled twice
[04:21] <Pelo> but not as good or nice
[04:21] <mrcollins> ok question
[04:21] <lavacano201014> any ideas on how to fix this thing?
[04:21] <mrcollins> when I reconfiguring X when I get to the Bus ID
[04:22] <Pelo> lavacano201014, what exactly is the problem ?
[04:22] <mrcollins> i have a onboard video card as well the default is wrong!
[04:22] <mrcollins> do I tell it what lspci tells me?

[04:22] <mrcollins> the 1:00.0?
[04:22] <Ashfire908> icone: the computer doesn
[04:22] <mrcollins> ubotu: sorry :)
[04:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sorry :) - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:22] <lavacano201014> upon initial installation of ubuntu, his internet connection was working perfectly
[04:22] <Ashfire908> icone: the computer doesn't have the memory and cpu to run gnome
[04:22] <lavacano201014> then, all of a sudden, his ip, dns, all of that became 0.0.0.0
[04:22] <Pelo> lavacano201014, ah
[04:23] <icone> wait
[04:23] <newtubuntu> where do I look for newly installed packages ? I love reading docs, but I can't even find the docs I installed.... :-(
[04:23] <Ashfire908> icone: or gdm appearently
[04:23] <icone> you can boot intext mode looool
[04:23] <mrcollins> newtubuntu: man "package"
[04:23] <scratchme> Is the terminal server client supposed to support copy/paste in Ubuntu 7.04?
[04:23] <icone> and install only what you need
[04:23] <Pelo> lavacano201014,  he can probablay change them back in menu > system > admin > network bbut other then that I don'T know
[04:23] <icone> ....I think
[04:23] <Pelo> scratchme, isn'T there a menu ?
[04:24] <icone> don't quite remember if it's true, but try to boot thru advanced options in text mode
[04:24] <PaganImmolator> where is the script for launching a laptop into suspend and how do you do that manually from a terminal?
[04:24] <lavacano201014> apparently that didnt work either
[04:24] <scratchme> It doesn't seem to work for me.  Any tips on what to check?  I've looked through all of what seemed the obvious places, and googled a bit on it.
[04:24] <teajay> Hello, I'm sure you guys have gotten flooded with this question or ones like this
[04:24] <teajay> but I'm not able to update to Gibbon4
[04:24] <icone> better yet ....   XUBUNTU
[04:24] <teajay> well Tribe4
[04:24] <Pelo> lavacano201014,  clean installl ?
[04:24] <teajay> i get two errors
[04:24] <Ashfire908> icone: i'm using the text command line sytem installer thing. the thing that installs a command line system. it's asking what kernel to install and i don't know which to use
[04:24] <astro76> teajay, try #ubuntu+1
[04:24] <icone> doesn't install gnome
[04:24] <teajay> thank you
[04:24] <Pelo> icone,  are you actualy talking to someone ?  try using their nick
[04:24] <scratchme> Pelo, when I connect to a remote site, copy/pasting to the site through the Terminal Server Client window and the Ubuntu system does not seem to work.
[04:25] <lavacano201014> hmm that didnt work either
[04:25] <Pelo> scratchme,  much better question,  I don'T have an answer for you
[04:25] <scratchme> I'm wondering if perhaps I goofed something.  I checked the client options, and didn't see any checkboxes for copy/paste.
[04:25] <icone> Pelo    wright ... sorry
[04:25] <Ashfire908> icone: i don't have a good enought connection to get the iso. plus, it wouldn't start gdm
[04:25] <astro76> scratchme, you're talking windows remote desktop?
[04:25] <lavacano201014> this is a real headscratcher
[04:25] <scratchme> astro76, yes, basically the rdesktop connection to a Windows XP Pro machine.
[04:25] <astro76> scratchme, there's a policy you may have to edit in windows to allow copy/paste in terminal server
[04:25] <lavacano201014> i suggested he try kubuntu at one point
[04:26] <icone> what are the characterists of the box ?
[04:26] <astro76> scratchme, we had to do that at work
[04:26] <Pelo> lavacano201014, hmm,  are you sure the network isn't blocking you ?  static ip maybe ?
[04:26] <scratchme> astro76, it works with Windows RD clients.
[04:26] <scratchme> astro76, to be honest, this is the first time I've encountered it.
[04:26] <astro76> scratchme, yeah I have it working fine on a few machines
[04:26] <bobodclown> lo all, having a problem with ubuntu and a portable HD. It doesnt recognise when plugged in and i can hear the drive spinning up and down. any ideas?
[04:27] <lavacano201014> that could be it
[04:27] <Pelo> bobodclown,  usb hdd ?
[04:27] <bobodclown> yeah
[04:27] <Pelo> bobodclown,  what file system ?
[04:27] <Goooner> FUI, swedish rep servers seem to suck. Pelo, my problems dissappered when I switched to main server. Thank you for your help.
[04:27] <icone> Ashfire908 I think you can ask the site of xubuntu to send you the CD's freely
[04:27] <Pelo> Goooner,  glad I could help
[04:27] <Ashfire908> icone: 126 MB ram and 4?? MHz processer (i don't know the exact amount and i'm not leaving the installer to figure out
[04:28] <OneSeventeen> any tips on keeping a Feisty Fawn install from blanking the screen after a few minutes?
[04:28] <bobodclown> Pelo: unsure, it came formatted. I have been able to use NTFS formatted USB HDDs without a prob tho
[04:28] <mattg> pelo: 68% on the install
[04:28] <OneSeventeen> (sometimes it asks me to "unlock" the machine)
[04:28] <PaganImmolator> where is the script for launching a laptop into suspend and how do you do that manually from a terminal?
[04:28] <astro76> OneSeventeen, sometimes?
[04:28] <Ashfire908> icone: it takes weeks. i'm afarid that 7.10 will be out by then
[04:28] <nickrud> OneSeventeen, system-prefs-screensaver has the times you can set
[04:28] <Pelo> mattg,  are you telling me all is fine or that you are stuck at 68% &
[04:28] <Pelo> ?
[04:28] <OneSeventeen> astro76: It doesn't always ask for my password
[04:29] <astro76> OneSeventeen, it wounds like your screensaver configuration is wonky somehow, since you said you changed the settings from default of 10 minutes
[04:29] <astro76> *sounds
[04:29] <OneSeventeen> nickrud: it is set for 2 hours, and all power-settings are set for "never"
[04:29] <Pelo> bobodclown, did you try it out in a nother computer , or in windows ?
[04:29] <nickrud> OneSeventeen, I've had problems with that happening also. when it's annoying, I do xset -dpms
[04:29] <icone> Ashfire908 Man gotta choose some way ....
[04:29] <OneSeventeen> astro76: I have even un-checked "Activate Screensaver when computer is idle"
[04:29] <flemnos> join #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:29] <Pelo> flemnos,   /join
[04:30] <OneSeventeen> nickrud: what does xset -dpms do?
[04:30] <Ashfire908> icone: like i said i'm installing a command line system
[04:30] <nickrud> OneSeventeen, disables screen blanking completely. Lasts until the next X restart, iirc
[04:30] <bobodclown> Pelo: It works on several win boxes without a problem. If it is relevant, it is a portable USB HDD, ie does not have its own power source and i suspect it contains a 2.5" drive inside
[04:30] <Ashfire908> icone: it's asking me which kernel to install and i don't know which to use
[04:30] <Stoffer> if an application crashes on me, where do the core files end up?
[04:30] <mattg> its good pelo, just informing ya
[04:30] <lavacano201014> nope, its DHCP
[04:30] <OneSeventeen> nickrud: thanks, I'll definitely run that before my presentation tomorrow
[04:31] <nickrud> OneSeventeen, good idea :)
[04:31] <OneSeventeen> see you guys later, gotta run!  Thanks again
[04:31] <Pelo> bobodclown,  usb should mount automaticaly when plugged in and powered on , but you are not the first to mention it with a portable hdd, I suggest you check in the forum for a possible solution    www.ubuntuforums.org
[04:31] <lavacano201014> if it helps, my friend here is not very informed in technical matters
[04:31] <Pelo> mattg,  carry on then
[04:31] <nickrud> Ashfire908, I'm coming in late, why are you being asked about a kernel install, doesn't the install normally default to generic?
[04:31] <mattg> pelo, you got it
[04:32] <Ashfire908> nickrud not in this type install
[04:32] <nickrud> Ashfire908, are you doing a net install or something?
[04:32] <Ashfire908> nickrud: no. alternate cd
[04:32] <Pelo> lavacano201014,  if the dns and stuff got changed chaging it back should take care of it , that's all I'm saying
[04:33] <nickrud> Stoffer, /var/crash
[04:33] <bobodclown> Pelo: cool ill have a look, thanks
[04:33] <Pelo> lavacano201014, just for the info , is this a problem with accessing other comps on the network or getting on the internet ?
[04:33] <nickrud> Ashfire908, that's the only install I use :)  Pick low-latency
[04:33] <lavacano201014> getting online
[04:33] <Pelo> lavacano201014,  dns stuff then
[04:33] <lavacano201014> getting to other computers was not discussed
[04:33] <Ashfire908> nickrud, what???
[04:33] <icone> Ashfire908 But whitch distro you are using
[04:33] <icone> ?
[04:33] <Pelo> lavacano201014,  is there a router involved ?
[04:33] <Ashfire908> ubuntu 7.04
[04:34] <lavacano201014> yes there is
[04:34] <nickrud> Ashfire908, what are your options? (low-latency is the ubuntu kernel version that provides the snappiest desktop response)
[04:34] <Pelo> lavacano201014,  did the guy plaing with the router setup static ips ?
[04:34] <lavacano201014> no he uses DHCP
[04:35] <phil_pi> static ip speeds boot time
[04:35] <lavacano201014> (7:30:37 PM) Daniel: its different from yesterday
[04:35] <lavacano201014> (7:30:41 PM) Daniel: so it changes
[04:35] <Ashfire908> My options: "linux-generic"   "linux-image-generic"     "linux-image-2.6.20-15-generic"      "none"
[04:35] <Pelo> lavacano201014,  see if your freind can get to the router setup screens from the computer,  using the default gateway ,
[04:35] <lavacano201014> hes using windows now
[04:35] <mrcollins> HEY!
[04:35] <Pelo> lavacano201014,  if he can communicate with the router the problem is something else
[04:35] <lavacano201014> but ill tell him that that might work
[04:36] <mrcollins> mneptok: I did sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[04:36] <mrcollins> then
[04:36] <nickrud> Ashfire908, choose linux-generic. Thats a metapackage that will depend upon the latest kernel version
[04:36] <mrcollins> sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[04:36] <Pelo> lavacano201014, well if you want og et him back to ubuntu that would we the stuff to check out,  you can also try askin in #networking
[04:36] <mrcollins> BOOM!
[04:36] <Ashfire908> Pelo, nickrud: i'm using the third option in the option list on the alternate cd
[04:36] <lavacano201014> i told him
[04:36] <mneptok> mrcollins: what nVidia card do you have?
[04:36] <mrcollins> mneptok: GeForce 2 MX440
[04:37] <Pelo> Ashfire908, sorry man but I don,t even know what hyour probblem his ? let alone what the thrid option in the alternate cd is
[04:37] <nickrud> Ashfire908, don't choose a specific kernel, with linux-generic you'll automatically get updated kernels; by choosing a specific one you won't
[04:37] <mrcollins> mneptok: thanks for your help man
[04:37] <epastor> Hello all - odd issue, and it looks to be a filesystem problem. I edited a directory in an ext3 partition from Windows (using ext2ifs - I know I should have known better) and now anything that involves getting a directory listing (including rm -rf) hangs. Any thoughts?
[04:37] <Ashfire908> nickrud: you positive?
[04:37] <icone> Ashfire908 But whitch distro you are using  ?
[04:37] <nickrud> Ashfire908, yes
[04:37] <icone> Ashfire908 xubuntu ? ubuntu ?
[04:37] <epastor> One more note: the problem only happens on that directory
[04:37] <rexy_> epastor: unmount and check with fsck?
[04:37] <Ashfire908> icone: ubuntu 7.04 alternate dekstop
[04:37] <nickrud> Ashfire908, you can read the package descriptions on packages.ubuntu.com. I recommend it
[04:38] <epastor> rexy_: Did - fsck claims the drive is clean
[04:38] <mneptok> mrcollins: sudo apt-get autoremove nvidia-glx && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy
[04:38] <Pelo> epastor,  just taht dir or all of tjem ?
[04:38] <Pelo> them
[04:38] <epastor> Pelo: Just that one
[04:38] <icone> xit
[04:38] <rexy_> then i dont know epastor
[04:38] <Ashfire908> nickud: thanks
[04:38] <nickrud> Ashfire908, just so you go in with your eyes open
[04:38] <icone> gonna make me get up of the bed and help you out ...
[04:38] <Ashfire908> nickud: it's installing the kernel
[04:38] <Pelo> epastor,  make another dir,  copy the data to it,  delete the original,  rename the copy
[04:38] <icone> Ashfire908 gonna make me get up of the bed and help you out ...
[04:38] <epastor> rexy_: yeah, strange issue. Just trying to figure out how to get RID of the directory. I've already managed to rescue the data
[04:39] <epastor> Pelo: Already copied the data and gotten a working copy in place - but deleting the original fails
[04:39] <rexy_> rm -rf directory a nogo?
[04:39] <epastor> rexy_: Hangs
[04:39] <phil_pi> need to find a way to mess with inode table?
[04:39] <Pelo> epastor,  rename the original before deleting , and /or try deleting as root
[04:39] <rexy_> you want more inodes phil_pi?
[04:39] <epastor> Pelo: Did, still hangs
[04:40] <SeveredCross> Anyone know how I can mount a ReiserFS partition to be readable/writable by a certain group?
[04:40] <phil_pi> no, epastor needs inode deep magic
[04:40] <epastor> Pelo: Both as root and after renaming the directory
[04:40] <epastor> phil_pi: Seems like it
[04:40] <DARKGuy> Hey, could somebody help me in making an ad-hoc connection between two Ubuntu Feisty computers?
[04:40] <nickrud> SeveredCross, mount the device, then change the permissions
[04:40] <Pelo> epastor,  try deleting it from windows
[04:40] <zenmonk> how can I make grep select the filesnames that do not contain a digit?
[04:40] <rexy_> DARKGuy: with wireless or cables?
[04:40] <Ashfire908> SeveredCross: you could modify fstab
[04:40] <DARKGuy> rexy_: wireless
[04:40] <Ashfire908> SeveredCross: i *think*
[04:40] <epastor> Pelo: Ooh - good thought, since I actually rescued the data by copying inside Windows. I'll try that.
[04:41] <SeveredCross> Is there any way to modify it in fstab is what I was curious about.
[04:41] <rexy_> do you have an accespoint?
[04:41] <SeveredCross> I know I could just change its mountpoint's permissions, but I feel like there's a better way.
[04:41] <epastor> Pelo: Just worried that it'll then kill the parent directory - which is my home folder
[04:41] <DARKGuy> rexy_: Nope, that's why I'm asking for an ad-hoc connection, which would literally be what crossover is in wired networks
[04:41] <nickrud> SeveredCross, that's the better way :)
[04:41] <Ashfire908> SeveredCross: fstab options
[04:41] <Pelo> epastor, should be ok , just delete the one folder
[04:41] <SeveredCross> Ashfire908: I tried that, it doesn't take uid/gid options.
[04:41] <phil_pi> better have a complete backup
[04:42] <Ashfire908> SeveredCross: hmm...
[04:42] <rexy_> your cards need to support ad hoc mode then
[04:42] <phil_pi> file  system in unknown state
[04:42] <epastor> Pelo: I know - but the small edit I did should have been okay too. I'm taking several precautions now, thanks
[04:42] <epastor> phil_pi: I know
[04:42] <rexy_> did you look in the wifi docs?
[04:42] <SeveredCross> I suppose I should just chgrp its mountpoint to users and chown it to me.
[04:42] <DARKGuy> rexy_: they do, they work in Windows and I've already set it up Windows -> Linux, but not Linux -> Linux
[04:42] <nickrud> SeveredCross, that's correct, it's a filesystem thing, not a mounting thing for rieser, xfs, ext3, etc.
[04:42] <DARKGuy> rexy_: Yeah, got tired of trying stuff in the docs and in google
[04:42] <rexy_> it's ussually your best bet
[04:42] <Ashfire908> SeveredCross: it looks like there is a owner option
[04:43] <Ashfire908> SeveredCross: nm
[04:43] <SeveredCross> No, actually, now that I look at it, uid/gid just sets the owner/group of the mountpoint anyway. :)
[04:43] <jerbear> is there an easy way for me to transfer my gnome main menu from one machine to another?
[04:43] <SeveredCross> jerbear: Copy your /home folder?
[04:43] <rexy_> DARKGuy: can you get the connection itself working, and/or are you setting static ip's or using dhcp?
[04:43] <DJ_Danni> Hey i need help to Disable Firewall
[04:43] <jerbear> SeveredCross: i don't want everything, just some of the menu
[04:43] <Pelo> jerbear,  ~/config/menu , copy the file
[04:43] <SeveredCross> Well, then you're SOL.
[04:43] <rexy_> DJ_Danni: sudo iptables -F
[04:43] <DJ_Danni> How do i turn of the firewall?
[04:44] <rexy_> that clears the iptables
[04:44] <DJ_Danni> ok
[04:44] <rexy_> you can also do sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter stop if you use that
[04:44] <jerbear> SeveredCross: SOL... alrighty
[04:44] <rexy_> it's ussually a good thing though to leave your firewall on
[04:44] <mattg> got it installed, need help with the drivers.  nvidia geforce go 7600.  video only at 1280x800.  how do i get the drivers?  not listed under restricted drivers.
[04:44] <rexy_> and use the firestarter program to open ports
[04:44] <DARKGuy> rexy_: Well, my laptop (the one I want to connect with) sees my desktop pc (the one I want to connect to), but they don't end up conecting to each other
[04:45] <Pelo> mattg,  first try with the restricted driver    menu > system > admin > restricted drivers
[04:45] <rexy_> did you assign static ip's and set up the route's?
[04:45] <mattg> pelo:  not listed
[04:45] <DARKGuy> rexy_: I'm editing the interfaces file for that. It's already set up for sharing my internet connection when I'm using Windows on the laptop, but not in Linux yet and it's what I need help
[04:45] <DARKGuy> with.
[04:45] <Pelo> !nvidia > mattg  check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[04:45] <DARKGuy> rexy_: I assign static IPs for both computers, yes.
[04:45] <DJ_Danni> Shut it say somthang?
[04:46] <DARKGuy> rexy_: I can paste my /etc/network/interfaces , if that helps.
[04:46] <epastor> Well - I've got the faulty directory in a carefully-isolated location, though I can't move it off the drive (it'd trigger a listing, since it'd be a physical move...) and I'm backing up the rest of my /home directory. Wish me luck
[04:46] <DARKGuy> network manager is too basic for what I want to archieve :P
[04:46] <Ashfire908> nickud: it's installing the other stuff now
[04:46] <faileas> hmm
[04:46] <rexy_> not really DARKGuy i never played with that so i wouldn't know
[04:46] <DARKGuy> :(
[04:46] <rexy_> check if your links are working, then check the ips' and if you can ping the other computer
[04:46] <jerbear> Pelo: there are quite a few files... how can i interpret this (as a human)?
[04:47] <rexy_> if that works you just need to configure the internet sharing
[04:47] <mactimes> Hello Human Beings!
[04:47] <icone> Ashfire908 Unbuntu 7.0.4 doesn't start in text mode
[04:47] <DARKGuy> rexy_: the links work, but they can't ping each other... I need to archieve that in order to share internet (which I know how to do)
[04:47] <Pelo> jerbear, menu thing ? the ones without numbers should be the current ones
[04:47] <bjames> stupid question:  I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 and I'd like to run a script on startup (with root privileges) - where can I put the script?
[04:47] <Ashfire908> icone: you don't understand what i'm doing do you
[04:47] <thai_> Have yours online games?
[04:47] <icone> Ashfire908 yes
[04:48] <icone> I understood
[04:48] <icone> you want to install in text mode
[04:48] <Pelo> bjames,  I think you put a line in bashrc or something
[04:48] <icone> Ashfire908 you want to install in text mode
[04:48] <Ashfire908> icone: no, install a text-mode system
[04:48] <thai_> no
[04:48] <jerbear> Pelo: i see... i don't see any of my apps in that file... is it abstracted away somewhere else?
[04:48] <bjames> Pelo: I think that's only run when a bash prompt is started
[04:48] <thai_> graphic
[04:48] <Pelo> jerbear, don't knwo
[04:49] <mactimes> I have a Lexmark Z25 USB printer.  I have tried nearly every single tutorials I have found on the web to try and make it work, but so far I haven't succeeded.  I know this is a c**py printer, but that's what I've got.  Could anyone tell me how to make my stinky printer work on Ubuntu?
[04:49] <Ashfire908> icone: it's the third option, under "text-mode installer for manafacturers"
[04:49] <icone> Ashfire908 I think the best thing 4 you is to install a debian system
[04:49] <thai_> uh
[04:49] <thai_> i using Ubuntu
[04:49] <nickrud> icone, lol, that's about what he's doing ;)
[04:49] <Pelo> bjames,  if you knwo about runlevels , which I don'T , you put your script in /etc/init.d/ and you put a link to it in the correct run level folder  /etc/rc.somethig
[04:49] <DJ_Danni> hey i am finnish trying to do sudo iptables -F and no LUCK. What can i do to turn off the Firewall?
[04:50] <bjames> Pelo: I'll try that
[04:50] <DJ_Danni> ?
[04:50] <icone> Ashfire908 sorry .... was trying with straight ubuntu 7.0.4 and not alternate version
[04:50] <mactimes> DJ_Danni: You must flush all tables
[04:50] <icone> Ashfire908 duh 4 me
[04:50] <DJ_Danni> How?
[04:50] <icone> lol
[04:50] <mactimes> DJ_Danni: -F will flush only the default one
[04:50] <thai_> icone: have you other games?
[04:51] <Thanatoast> How (if possible) can I run multiple instances of a program in gnome (specifically sound-juicer)?
[04:51] <Ashfire908> icone: after i told you how many times "alternate"?
[04:51] <nickrud> bjames, drop it in /etc/init.d/ , and run sudo update-rc2.d defaults ; that will create the symlinks in rc*.d that will start it on bootup
[04:51] <nickrud> bjames, *update-rc.d
[04:51] <DJ_Danni> I was doing that. Test http://212.30.223.9:8002 and see for your self its a ShoutCAST Hosting Company Server.
[04:52] <mactimes> DJ_Danni: iptables -F filter then iptables -F nat then iptables -F mangle
[04:52] <Pelo> bjames,  put your scripit in  /etc/init.d/ and put the path to it in /etc/rc.local   before the "exit 0" line
[04:52] <icone> Ashfire908 I think my computer has a nasty virus .... looooooooool     i skipped that part lol
 probably not ideal, but you could use sudo and run one as root.
[04:52] <bjames> Pelo:cheers
[04:52] <icone> Ashfire908     didn't knew there was that version ....
[04:52] <nickrud> eww, rc.local

[04:59] <DARKGuy> Hey, could somebody here help me please in making an ad-hoc connection between two Ubuntu Feisty computers?
[04:59] <phil_pi> El_Julioso:  i know win utilities to read/write to ext2 but ext3 is another story

[05:00] <El_Julioso> Pelo, GamingX, phil_pi, thanks all, I'll try to find the program, I heard that Windows can access ext3 partitions and just assumed it did so natively
[05:01] <DJ_Danni> How can i fix this?
[05:01] <nickrud> Ashfire908, I'll look, sure. I'm comfortable saying I don't know
[05:01] <Ashfire908> nickrud: may i pm you with the questions?
[05:01] <Pelo> El_Julioso,  do you plan on using this ext3 partiton in ubuntu as well ?  consider using fat32 instead , can be read in both linux and windows

[05:03] <Pelo> chalcedny, when are you getting this ?
[05:03] <DJ_Danni> Pelo with sudo iptables -F ?
[05:03] <nickrud> DJ_Danni, you can see what iptable rules are running with sudo iptables -L
[05:03] <Pelo> DJ_Danni, someting like that, I'm not very familiar with iptables,  try man iptables see what the comands are
[05:04] <chalcedny> Pelo: we had a laptop whose drive died (running windows) put a new used drive in it and ubuntu.. it booted earlier today, but now i got that .
[05:04] <jerbear_> anyone have any good suggestions for themes?
[05:04] <DJ_Danni> UUUU ok Confused what i am seeing there:S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S
[05:04] <El_Julioso> Pelo: I am actually just using it to transfer files between Windows and Ubuntu for the time being, because Ubuntu won't work with my RAID arrays, I am eventually going to format to XFS
[05:04] <z0rz> I'm trying to install compiz fussion on an ATI x800 card ... I "sudo apt-get isntall server-xgl" and it says "Package xserver-xgl is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[05:05] <z0rz> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[05:05] <Pelo> chalcedny, hmm, could be a lot of things,  butI don'T think that he windows drive dying had anything to do with it
[05:05] <z0rz> is only available from another source"
[05:05] <lemonedo> wine on ubuntu can run Warcraft III?
[05:05] <El_Julioso> Pelo: After I've transferred my files to other drives, that is
[05:05] <DJ_Danni> Pelo is it in Inpute, Forward or Output?

[05:05] <Pelo> El_Julioso,   fat32 should have been your fs of choice then
[05:05] <chalcedny> Pelo: ok, my son did the install and he's out of state now. is there anything i can do?

[05:06] <lemonedo> i can run starcraft with wine, but cannot WorldEdit.exe
[05:06] <neozen> lemonedo: say what you want about ms powerpoint viewer.... but its a hell of a lot lighter then openoffice.org-impress
[05:06] <El_Julioso> I'll either go back and reformat it, or just get the ext3 driver, whichever is quicker
[05:07] <Pelo> lemonedo,   wine /path/worldedit.exe  or whatever
[05:07] <chalcedny> Pelo: you go ahead, i don't want to wear you out.
[05:07] <DJ_Danni> nickrud are you there?
[05:07] <Pelo> El_Julioso,  if you don'T need to transfer data out ,  fat32 , much safer

[05:08] <troy-> I am having problems with Pam-Mount not unmounting dm-crypt containers when logging out via SSH, however it does work when logging in via the terminal

[05:32] <Pelo> DARKGuy,  donT' know if they do but they probably know some tricks
[05:32] <DARKGuy> Pelo: thanks a ton for the suggestion ^_^
[05:32] <chalcedny> Pelo: depends on how full your resume is i guess, volunteer work, can count, you rapildly find solutions for a variety of user problems, helping x number of users per day/hour/year to find solutoins to computer / operating system problems.
[05:33] <GamingX> Pelo: How do you read the source codes?
[05:33] <Pelo> arkive, probably but I don'T know it ,  try the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[05:33] <tigran> hey, how can i record audio coming from my sound card?

[05:33] <bullgard4> My Ubuntu 7.04 laptop initially would not resume from hibernation. But it does so after I installed the uswsusp package. Is it true that there is by default another resume mechanism in Ubuntu 7.04?
[05:34] <bruenig> GamingX, or you can do apt-get source package, I think
[05:34] <El_Julioso> Pelo and GamingX: thanks for the help, keep up the good work, I'm off
[05:34] <Pelo> chalcedny, yeah, I know,  I got started on ubuntu because I wanted to get familiar wirh linux for potential jobs, I almost always end up being the computer goto guy

[05:34] <tigran> how can i record audio coming from my sound card?
[05:34] <Pelo> GamingX,  I do not know
[05:34] <GamingX> bruenig: I thought source codes were downloaded along with the applications....
[05:35] <Pelo> tigran,  with soundrecorder I think , in the sound/video menu I think
[05:35] <arnducky> Linda, if you wish to chat with me, join #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:35] <bruenig> GamingX, no, applications are distributed in binaries, the source does no good except to at the very least double the amount of disk space
[05:35] <bruenig> used
[05:35] <chalcedny> Pelo: it's a gift :)
[05:35] <MBR666> GamingX, no. not always. usually with a tarball file. but when using apt-get you have to download source or app+source as seperate packages

[05:57] <z0rz> Anyone use irssi?  If so what theme are you using?
[05:57] <crackerbox> its what i use
[05:57] <SystemOverload> How do I set it to work with games and the system, not just TS?
[05:57] <daytona8990> so I ran the command to reconfigure x, but when x tries to start, my monitor reports that it's out of range...
[05:57] <noir> crackerbox:  I tried with an svg but it didnt work.
[05:58] <DJ_Danni> I realy need to take off the Firewall
[05:58] <nomasteryoda> crackerbox, svg works too
[05:58] <mattg> okay, i have the NVidia binary X.Org driver and the NVidia binary X.Org 'legacy' driver
[05:58] <DJ_Danni> All my Shoutcast Server's are down
[05:58] <SystemOverload> the driver is /dev/dsp1
[05:58] <mattg> not installed ***
[05:58] <nomasteryoda> DJ_Danni, is it installed?
[05:58] <DJ_Danni> What?
[05:58] <nomasteryoda> firestarter?
[05:58] <DJ_Danni> Thang not.
[05:58] <DJ_Danni> She said Command not found
[05:59] <nomasteryoda> then you need to edit your hardware firewall settings... usually http://192.168.1.1 in say Firefox and login and edit...
[05:59] <mattg> nomasteryoda: okay, i have the NVidia binary X.Org driver and the NVidia binary X.Org 'legacy' driver
[05:59] <nomasteryoda> you need the newer one for that card
[05:59] <nomasteryoda> not legacy
[05:59] <daytona8990> nomasteryoda: if I set that config program to use very low resolutions (800x600 and lower) just to get x running again, can I later up my resolution to what the monitor will support (1600x1200) somehow?
[06:00] <DJ_Danni> I have already tryed to turn off the Firewall in my Router. and no Luck:(
[06:00] <nomasteryoda> daytona8990, which card is it again?
[06:00] <mannytu> mattg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34963/  this is what I have loaded...

[06:02] <daytona8990> nomasteryoda: it's an ATI Radeon 7200 with 32 MB ram
[06:02] <mannytu> mattg: yes you will...
[06:02] <the_hammer> guest,guest and root root don^ try that
[06:02] <mattg> okay
[06:02] <RAdams> Where does Pidgin install the sounds by default?
[06:02] <SystemOverload> Like, nothing happens when I press my keys. Is it because it is numbers?
[06:02] <zAack> thanks ubotu
[06:02] <DJ_Danni> What can i do?
[06:03] <nomasteryoda> daytona8990, if you know the modes to add to the xorg.conf file, you could add them
[06:03] <nomasteryoda> i'm sure someone has a good xorg.conf file for that card
[06:03] <nomasteryoda> and monitor
[06:03] <mannytu> mattg: Did you back up your xorg.conf file?
[06:04] <konam_> how can i write an space on the console?
[06:04] <DJ_Danni> Can somone help me befor i go to sleep?
[06:04] <SystemOverload> I am not able to type my password into the terminal when it asks me, any tips?
[06:04] <nomasteryoda> konam_, use "\ "
[06:04] <konam_> an example?
[06:04] <MBR666> i want to set up my one xubuntu box so i can login to X from across the internet. where do i begin on that? or even just ssh
[06:04] <daytona8990> nomasteryoda: what is that command that you gave me before? I'll run that again rather than manually editing xorg.conf. I think I'll just set it to ridiculously low resolutions for now.
[06:04] <nomasteryoda> the "\" is the escape character
[06:04] <nomasteryoda> for any special character
[06:04] <Cin> how do you set your default audio device wih the alsa mixer?

[06:08] <Arrick> heya everyone
[06:08] <DJ_Danni> I do not see any Chances
[06:08] <nomasteryoda> File13, they are USB headphones?
[06:08] <File13> no
[06:08] <Arrick> on the 7.04 distro, how do i go about making my wireless and wired connections both able to connect at the same time all the time
[06:08] <nomasteryoda> oh

[06:09] <Logikos> hi, i have a 6.06 LTS server which i cant login to via ssh or councel, the login and pass are correct, when i try it logs in then kicks out, if i use wrong pass it simply says login incorrect ... so the password is not the problem .. i've posted this problem in more detail here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=534149 Please help
[06:09] <DJ_Danni> Do i have to restart after sudi-iptabels -F?
[06:09] <Cin> there's some simple command to change the audio device, but I can't remember it
[06:09] <File13> im not sure what soundcard it is how do i check
[06:09] <SystemOverload> I can't get any sound out of firefox, but Teamspeak works.
[06:09] <RAdams> SystemOverload: x86 or amd64?
[06:09] <nomasteryoda> File13, if you run "alsamixer" in console as user, you should be able to see what is muted...
[06:09] <noir> anyone else got any ideas?
[06:10] <File13> HDA NVidia
[06:10] <SystemOverload> x86
[06:10] <SystemOverload> It is a USB headset, and I know the driver is
[06:10] <nomasteryoda> File13, and Cin you might have to edit the asoundrc file and alias ports for sound... that is part of the answer
[06:10] <Arrick> on the 7.04 distro, how do i go about making my wireless and wired connections both able to connect at the same time all the time
[06:10] <nomasteryoda> but all i know for now... tired... zzz

[06:11] <nomasteryoda> no
[06:11] <nomasteryoda> DJ_Danni, no
[06:11] <DJ_Danni> ok
[06:11] <DJ_Danni> I do not see any Chance

[06:12] <ubotu> MBR666: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

[06:13] <mattg> does anybody have any other ideas about this geforce go 7600?
[06:13] <nomasteryoda> that is all i have done on ubuntu and always wrked for me

[06:13] <nomasteryoda> File13, hang on
[06:14] <mario> How can i install bery on fisty fawn
[06:14] <SystemOverload> Mario, use the add remove programs
[06:14] <SystemOverload> and search for it
[06:14] <nomasteryoda> http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=.asoundrc
[06:14] <mario> ok

[06:15] <mario> i am in add remove programs then
[06:16] <mannytu> mattg: did it come up on the "Restricted Drivers"
[06:16] <mattg> nope
[06:17] <josephine> hey my ubuntu wont detect my usb printer
[06:17] <mattg> i did the regular one, no effect, so i did the legacy one, and still nothing
[06:17] <jacob> i need help installing a tgz file, can somebody help me
[06:17] <bruenig> jacob, you can't
[06:17] <jacob> it's one of my first attempts to install tgz files
[06:17] <RAdams> jacob, what is the file
[06:17] <mannytu> mattg: did you turn on the Desktop effects/
[06:17] <bruenig> jacob, you can extract if you like
[06:17] <mattg> no because the driver isn't there
[06:18] <RAdams> jacob, you can't "install" a tgz, but it may contain source you can build an application from
[06:18] <Arrick> was I really on windows so long that everyone in this channel ignores me, or is it just me thinking that?
[06:18] <bruenig> tgz is a binary package format
[06:18] <jacob> i'm trying to install this software, which has two parts to it
[06:18] <bruenig> there is not source in it
[06:18] <jacob> http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/downloads/software/software_basic_stamp.asp
[06:18] <malocite> evening all - does anyone know a program that I can run that will allow me to change the names of every file in a directory to follow the same naming scheme?
[06:18] <Arrick> !simultaneous network connections
[06:18] <jacob> Radams, that's what i mean
[06:18] <mattg> mannytu: when i just tried to enable it, says it's not able to
[06:18] <RAdams> bruenig: source files can be stored in a .tgz archive
[06:18] <Arrick> !network interfaces
[06:18] <RAdams> for another program
[06:18] <RAdams> jacob
[06:19] <bruenig> RAdams, tgz is a package format, it is like a deb or rpm
[06:19] <Arrick> !network
[06:19] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:19] <mannytu> mattg: did you try to load the driver at add/remove?
[06:19] <jacob> radams yes?
[06:19] <mattg> yeah, no effect
[06:19] <bruenig> RAdams, now I suppose you can call a tarball whatever you want, I could call a tarball with source files a .deb for instance
[06:19] <josephine> can any one help me get a usb device to register
[06:19] <RAdams> bruenig: I know. and makefiles are sometimes located in .tgz's requiring they be manually extracted
[06:19] <mario> how do yall know all thiss stuff is their a book or somthing\
[06:19] <tigran> how can I record streaming sound from my sound card?
[06:19] <mattg> and envy isn't in there
[06:19] <bruenig> RAdams, tgz is slackware's binary package format
[06:19] <nomasteryoda> mattg, did you edit the xorg.conf file and change nv to nvidia?
[06:19] <bruenig> RAdams, it never has makefiles
[06:20] <mattg> nope...
[06:20] <nomasteryoda> ah
[06:20] <RAdams> bruenig: My bad, you're right... was thinking of something else
[06:20] <RAdams> jacob
[06:20] <jacob> radams yes
[06:20] <mattg> teach me, please!
[06:20] <RAdams> that installer won't work for ubuntu, as it's a binary for slackware
[06:20] <RAdams> another distro
[06:20] <RAdams> there might be a converter
[06:21] <jacob> radams, you went to the site i sent you?
[06:21] <RAdams> bruenig is correct, a .tgz file contains nothing you can install in ubuntu.
[06:21] <RAdams> jacob, one moment
[06:21] <mattg> just installed the driver...now what, nomasteryoda
[06:21] <mattg> i'm a noob...

[06:33] <xjkx> Ashfire908: for me it means install gnome
[06:33] <RAdams> jacob: sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
[06:33] <daytona8990> nomasteryoda: I'm back up and running. Thanks for your help!
[06:33] <KarlosII> mattg, could u explain tome your issue?
[06:33] <Ashfire908> xjkx, that's what ubunu-desktop is
[06:33] <mattg> karlosII: driver isn't working properly...generic...and it's not listed under restricted drivers
[06:34] <KarlosII> that doesn't explainwhat it's doing
[06:34] <johnuah> no one know?
[06:34] <jacob> radams, it got something
[06:34] <KarlosII> define not working properly
[06:34] <jacob> radams, press enter?
[06:34] <RAdams> jacob, yes
[06:34] <mattg> it's not doing anything!!!
[06:35] <konam_> nomasteryoda thanks!
[06:35] <RAdams> johnuah: repeat your question please
[06:35] <konam_> :)
[06:35] <johnuah> RAdams: I want to non English language input
[06:35] <johnuah> which software supports that
[06:36] <Ashfire908> danfg i think i set it in utc cause hwclock --show says it's in my time zone
[06:36] <jacob> radams, the terminal is asking me to place in the disc labeled "Ubuntu 7.04 _Feisty Fawn_ - Release i386
[06:36] <RAdams> johnuah: as in type documents in another language?
[06:36] <danfg> cool
[06:36] <daytona8990> when I try to click on "users" under "admin" it won't allow me to access it... Anyone ever run into this?
[06:36] <KarlosII> mattg, what happens when you boot?
[06:36] <jacob> radams, can i insert a different copy of the ubuntu cd and still make it work
[06:36] <mattg> umm...it's booted right now
[06:36] <bruenig> daytona8990, just do it via cli
[06:36] <KarlosII> ok?
[06:36] <daytona8990> how?
[06:37] <Cin> how the smeg do you set what audio device alsa uses? why is this so complicated?
[06:37] <arsen420> where can i find help on freedbs?
[06:37] <genefitz> mattg, did you just install the driver?
[06:37] <RAdams> jacob: yes, but you can also go to System --> Software Sources and deselect the CD as a source
[06:37] <daytona8990> (sorry, I'm a newbie... :) ) What's the command?
[06:37] <RAdams> jacob: no need for it if you have internet :o
[06:37] <KarlosII> mattg, are you getting a blank screen on the desktop screen?
[06:37] <bruenig> daytona8990, well what are you wanting to do
[06:37] <KarlosII> from gdm
[06:37] <mattg> i'm up and running, i just dont have the right driver installed.  i put the driver on that's listed under system tools, and it's still not working
[06:37] <mattg> i am using the laptop right now
[06:37] <KarlosII> what happens?
[06:38] <genefitz> mattg: have you rebooted since you installed the driver?
[06:38] <KarlosII> not working is extremely vague
[06:38] <mattg> the display isn't 1440x900 like it should be, and i have no effects
[06:38] <mattg> many times
[06:38] <genefitz> mattg, okay, have you gotten the "restricted driver" notification?
[06:39] <mattg> it's not under the restricted driver deal, genefitz
[06:39] <Ashfire908> what is the command-line file editor?
[06:39] <bruenig> Ashfire908, there are a few, vim the most popular
[06:39] <konam> someone knows of a program to configure lans between two computers on ubuntu?
[06:39] <SystemOverload> How can I get sound to work in firefox?
[06:39] <genefitz> mattg: what driver did you install?
[06:40] <edgard> hola
[06:40] <KarlosII> Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org -paste your xorg.0.log to here which is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:40] <mattg> NVidia binary X.Org driver
[06:40] <Cin> !audiodevice
[06:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about audiodevice - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:40] <mattg> is it not x64 compatible?
[06:40] <OPTIMusprime1212> anyone know how to set up a ssh account and how to make it where u can talk on it with someone else? if anyone knows u can pm me if u like
[06:41] <KarlosII> mattg, let me know when u have done that
[06:41] <johnuah> how can change the fonts instead of the default?
[06:42] <mattg> how do i view it, karlosii
[06:42] <mattg> i am a noob who is totally confused
[06:42] <genefitz> mattg: are you sure you installed the driver correctly?
[06:42] <KarlosII> command line
[06:42] <KarlosII> gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:42] <RAdams> jacob: did you get build-essential installed?
[06:43] <jacob> radams, it's asking for the same exact disc i used to install ubuntu in my machine
[06:43] <jacob> radams, i don't have that cd
[06:43] <Ashfire908> ugh, anyone here know how to set the linux clock?
[06:43] <KarlosII> genefitz, thats kinda a silly question to ask a noobie
[06:43] <RAdams> jacob: remove it as a source. Administration --> Software Sources
[06:43] <RAdams> jacob: uncheck the cdrom
[06:44] <genefitz> Karlosll, not actually, many scan over directions and miss a step.
[06:44] <KarlosII> well, a noobie 99% of time will not see a mistake they made
[06:44] <genefitz> heaven knows I did when I first started using linux
[06:44] <jacob> radams, where it says "installable from CD-ROM/DVD?
[06:45] <KarlosII> genefitz, I also need to ask him if he is using a AGP or PCIE card
[06:45] <RAdams> jacob: yes
[06:45] <KarlosII> thos interfaces make a big difference in xorg conf configuration
[06:45] <KarlosII> by 1 line :)
[06:45] <jacob> radams, give me a minute or two
[06:45] <Ashfire908> can i run wvdial and use another program in a command line only enviroment?
[06:46] <don^> anyone know the username and password for ubuntu 7.04 LiveCD
[06:46] <genefitz> True true.. Also Karlosll, he will have to do the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to get his 1440 x 900 resolution..
[06:46] <KarlosII> genefitz, why not use nvidia's auto select
[06:46] <johnuah> Is there anyone who can help me to non-English input and fonts changed?
[06:46] <genefitz> for some reason, 1440 x 900 is not native with the nVidia driver
[06:46] <johnuah> I
[06:47] <johnuah> I'm not a English native really
[06:47] <genefitz> Karlosll, it wasn't available on my desktop..
[06:47] <jacob> radams, it looks like is working
[06:47] <RAdams> Ashfire908: hwclock --set --date="9/22/96 16:45:05"
[06:47] <jacob> radams, it worked
[06:47] <RAdams> sorry, just saw that
[06:47] <KarlosII> genefitz, nvidia auto select still lets u select it
[06:47] <jacob> radams, how do i run the program?
[06:47] <RAdams> jacob: build-essential is installed?
[06:47] <genefitz> It could have been a problem with the Acer monitor, but there was a lot of posts about it as well..
[06:48] <jacob> yes
[06:48] <Ashfire908> RAdams, thanks!
[06:48] <Morgan555> anyone know how to upgrade AWN to have the mirror effect on the bottom? trhe more OSX look?
[06:48] <jacob> radams yes
[06:48] <mattg> is there a problem with the x64 version of ubuntu and the nvidia drivers?
[06:48] <genefitz> Karlos, when I installed the nVidia driver, it wasn't available in the auto-select..
[06:48] <ronald__> on windows, with remote desktop, i can attach client devices to the remote session or redirect server devices to clients (sound, for example). is there anything like that available on linux platforms?
[06:48] <KarlosII> gene see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34964/ my xorg.conf
[06:48] <jacob> radams, what do i do next?
[06:48] <genefitz> I hadt to do the reconfigure
[06:48] <konam> someone knows of a graphical tool to configure LANs?
[06:49] <KarlosII> it simplifies screen res selection
[06:49] <RAdams> ronald_: tsclient
[06:49] <RAdams> jacob: type make
[06:49] <RAdams> in terminal
[06:49] <RAdams> tell me the last 2 lines of output
[06:49] <Cin> see, it looks like there is _no way_ to change my output device for salsa. _but I've done it before_!! what the hell is the command D: !!
[06:49] <ronald__> RAdams: ah, for linux clients to windows servers. what about linux clients to linux servers?
[06:49] <KarlosII> Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP" <--- is for PCIExpress cards where you are using the 2nd DVI port
[06:49] <mattg> genefitz how do i reconfigure?
[06:49] <johnuah> I wanna people to help me and I got a lot of problem with ubuntu because I'm a Ubuntu newer
[06:50] <jacob> radams, what now? the program is installed? How do i run the program
[06:50] <KarlosII> Mattg, did you do what I asked????
[06:50] <genefitz> Karlosll, as I said, the auto-configure set me at some odd resolution, I never could get my display right under normal terms. I had to do the reconfigure command to get the resolution fixed..
[06:50] <mattg> exactly what did u ask, karlosii
[06:50] <genefitz> It is a common problem..
[06:50] <KarlosII> give me the url plz so I cna look at it :)
[06:50] <Cin> bah
[06:51] <mattg> no i didn't, karlosii, because i am a noob and i have absolutely no idea how to view those things or make changes
[06:51] <KarlosII> genefitz, yeah nvidia drivers can be extremely buggy yet very stable
[06:51] <KarlosII> mattg I gave you the command to view it
[06:51] <mattg> well i have no idea, didn't do it because i got frustrated and restarted
[06:51] <KarlosII> gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:51] <doug_>  hey can some give me a hand on hwo to set up a ssh account where me and someone else cal log in and talk to oen another non 3rd person party wise
[06:51] <SystemOverload> Is it possible to have more then 1 program using a audio device at the same time?
[06:51] <SystemOverload> Seems like it is not
[06:51] <BrendanW> What software would you recommend for a screencapture in Ubuntu?
[06:52] <mattg> nothing in there, karlosii
[06:52] <KarlosII> copy that and paste it to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:52] <jacob> radams, what do i do now?
[06:52] <jacob> radams, i already typed make
[06:52] <SystemOverload> Brendan, I would use the program it comes with.
[06:52] <SystemOverload> Why, are you looking for an alternative?
[06:52] <melvin> I can't get the nvidia driver to work. It keeps telling me it can't initialise the kernel module
[06:52] <KarlosII> gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log <---copy this command
[06:52] <dashgr> hello, how can i connect wirelessly with my laptop to a connection as i can with windows?
[06:52] <SystemOverload> melvin, try using a program called Envy
[06:53] <melvin> dashgr: sudo aptitude install wlassistant
[06:53] <genefitz> Karlosll: it wasn't a big issue once I figured it out. after I ran through te re-configure program, I found it was very easy, graphical, and after a reboot of the xorg, I was set and rocking..
[06:53] <mattg> okay, there we go
[06:53] <dashgr> thanks melvin
[06:53] <SystemOverload> It auto-installs the latest video drivers for your card
[06:53] <genefitz> However, I never got effects working on my desktop, every time I would turn the effects on, I would lose my window controls.
[06:53] <doug_> im wanting to set up a ssh where me and one other can join it and talk with out having 3rd party anyone know if so who ever knows can pm me if it makes it easyer
[06:53] <genefitz> I just stopped using the effects when I was on Ubuntu
[06:53] <mattg> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34965/
[06:53] <melvin> !envy
[06:53] <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!
[06:53] <KarlosII> gene I c..... it took me 4 days to figure out I needed Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP" otherwise I was getting a blank screen
[06:54] <Avt3kk> ok now how I boot dapper live cd and use safe mode and also use all in memory?
[06:54] <anonyuser993> I have 2 drives on my computer both sata.  1 drive has ntfs/ext3/swap/ext2 partition on it and I can read all of them fine from windows but my second drive is an entire ext3 partition and Im unable to get the windows ext2 driver to recognize it as such
[06:54] <genefitz> Karlosll, I can feel your pain there...
[06:54] <genefitz> I don't really use Ubuntu anymore. I use Freespire (Kubuntu with some extras)
[06:55] <jacob> radams, i got two warnings when i typed make
[06:55] <Avt3kk> linspire costs $ :/
[06:55] <genefitz> Avt3kk, I use freespire, not linspire..
[06:55] <larson9999> oops! my truemobile card needs orinoco-cs...not in gutsy yet.
[06:56] <Ashfire908> RAdams, do i use --utc or --localtime to set it? i'm going to use --hctosys after i set the hardware time
[06:56] <Avt3kk> ya well linspire would be better
[06:56] <Avt3kk> freespire has the popup setup on booting so easy
[06:56] <dashgr> melvin this wlsassitant work with gnome?
[06:56] <Avt3kk> I know ya lol
[06:56] <genefitz> Avt3kk, I have used both, and frankly, I can't tell much of a difference..
[06:56] <larson9999> good thing i got a backup
[06:56] <mattg> did u see it, karlosii?
[06:57] <RAdams> ashfire908: depends on whether you want the hardware clock running utc or your timezone... unless you have a specific reason for using utc on the hardware clock, it's usually easier to just use --localtime
[06:57] <melvin> dashgr: yes. It will automatically install the QT library and it will run in gnome.
[06:57] <RAdams> jacob: post the complete terminal output at pastebin.org
[06:57] <dashgr> alright thanks a lot
[06:57] <melvin> dashgr: make sure you run it as root
[06:57] <Avt3kk> this is kind of dumb but so you guys know what I use I made it
[06:57] <Avt3kk> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3242630#post3242630
[06:57] <Ashfire908> RAdams, how does windows handle timezones?
[06:57] <genefitz> The one thing I have to say I like thought Avt3kk, is the CNR plugin.. Makes installing doftware a no-brainer..
[06:57] <mattg> karlosii:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34965/
[06:57] <KarlosII> yes sec looking it over
[06:57] <dashgr> oh i already ran it as a user, should i cancel it?
[06:57] <KarlosII> (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
[06:57] <mattg> kk
[06:57] <KarlosII> can u paste your gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:58] <Avt3kk> ya well I dont have linspire
[06:58] <Avt3kk> to use cnr
[06:58] <mattg> umm...what's the correct name?  nothing is showing up, karlosii
[06:59] <genefitz> Avt3kk. CNR is available for Ubuntu, Linspire, Freespire, Fedora, and Suse, I think...
[06:59] <Avt3kk> I have radeon x800 vid card and sata harddrive I want a live cd that has limewire on it and runs from the memory only
[06:59] <Avt3kk> cool
[06:59] <genefitz> It just comes pre-installed in Freespire and Linspire
[06:59] <KarlosII> that is the correct name and path /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:59] <ronald__> with linux clients and linux servers running sshd, how can i get any given client's devices mapped on any given server?
[06:59] <KarlosII> ls /etc/X11/
[06:59] <Arrick> !paste
[06:59] <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)
[06:59] <jacob> radams http://pastebin.org/1121

[06:59] <mattg> karlosii: nothing there
[06:59] <Avt3kk> so what live cd has all that?
[07:00] <mattg> says no such directory, karlosii
[07:00] <KarlosII> o_O, your using ubuntu right?
[07:00] <Avt3kk> now yes
[07:00] <mattg> yes
[07:00] <genefitz> What Live CD has what?
[07:00] <KarlosII>  X one one
[07:00] <Avt3kk>  I have radeon x800 vid card and sata harddrive I want a live cd that has limewire on it and runs from the memory only  <<<<
[07:00] <KarlosII> /etc/X11

[07:01] <dashgr> melvin: hey also, when i play .wmv movies i don't get any sound, is there a way i can possible convert it to something else that can produce sound?
[07:01] <Arrick> hey all, i have wireless and wired connections, and both work, but only one at a time, how do I enable both to connect constantly?

[07:01] <jacob> radams, unknown error or is everything going according to planned?
[07:01] <Arrick> I get the following from ifconfig output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34966/
[07:01] <mattg> karlosii: still nothing
[07:01] <Ashfire908> RAdams, so do i use --localtime then the local date, or --localtime and then the utc date
[07:01] <KarlosII> o_O
[07:01] <melvin> dashgr: google medibuntu and install the w32codecs package
[07:01] <Vegancheesesteak> hi everybody. is there a faq that tell you how to setup sendmail in ubuntu 6.06 im really stuck and cant find anything usefull on google
[07:01] <mattg> wait a sec, karlosii
[07:01] <dashgr> melvin: alright thanks again
[07:01] <KarlosII> ?
[07:02] <mannytu> !version
[07:02] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[07:02] <pvl> whats KSycoca?
[07:02] <RAdams> jacob: make a post in ubuntu forums with the everything in your terminal window in it, surrounded by the [code]  command. So like this:
[07:02] <RAdams> [code] terminalstuff[/code] 
[07:02] <Arrick> on the other hand, why does my wireless connect constantly to 169 addresses? is this a BUG or am i imagining things? I turned the network manager off trying to be able to connect both, but nogo
[07:02] <genefitz> Avt3kk, I dopn't know of any live CD that had limewire that can run in memory, because I don't know of the ability to wriute to a drive in live mode for most distros..
[07:02] <Ashfire908> Vegancheesesteak, check the forums?
[07:02] <mattg> karlosii:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34967/
[07:03] <Avt3kk> puppy linux does
[07:03] <Avt3kk> but it dont have limewire
[07:03] <RAdams> Jacob: Then message me on the forums if you want me to look at it. I'm going to bed, tired...
[07:03] <MrChicken> Hello
[07:03] <Avt3kk> and not sure if it can run with my video card....
[07:03] <jacob> radams, i closed those previously closed terminals
[07:03] <jacob> radams, carry out the commands again?
[07:03] <MrChicken> I am running ubuntu gutsy but I need to install php4 ...
[07:03] <Avt3kk> ty guys
[07:03] <MrChicken> yet I cant find a package under aptitude
[07:03] <genefitz> Avtekk, Pully may, but I don't know if you can use it to write to drive. If you are using Limewire, it has to put the DL files somewhere.
[07:04] <scott_> question about creating .tar files
[07:04] <genefitz> oops, puppy even
[07:04] <genefitz> Maybe DSL from a thumb drive..
[07:04] <melvin> MrChicken: #ubuntu+1
[07:04] <jacob> radams ok never mind, i understand, i'll look for other help
[07:04] <Vegancheesesteak> Ashfire908: i did find one article about getting it work with php and followed that. but it was not very detailed
[07:04] <Ashfire908> MrChicken, PHP 4 is discontinued, so there might be only PHP 5
[07:04] <KarlosII> mattg take this file
[07:04] <jacob> radams, you can just go to bed
[07:04] <dashgr> melvin: hey how can i check which ubuntu release i have? i remember there was a command to check but i forgot what it was
[07:04] <Avt3kk> ty genefitz :D
[07:04] <nj786> can you download more ubuntu games?
[07:05] <mattg> karlosii:  that was crazy
[07:05] <Avt3kk> cya
[07:05] <KarlosII> ?
[07:05] <melvin> dashgr: lsb_release -a
[07:05] <dashgr> melvin: thanks
[07:05] <KarlosII> what was
[07:05] <mattg> when that popped up
[07:05] <scott_> when I try to .tar my 6 Gig photo directory I get an invalid archive. unpacking it reports unexpected end of file. is there a size limit for tar files   using tar -czvf
[07:05] <KarlosII> heh, did u accept?
[07:05] <Ashfire908> Vegancheesesteak, sendmail is a command right? if so open a terminal and run man sendmail
[07:05] <Arrick> can anyone here help me out with my issue, or should I look for help on another network, because it looks like Im not even being seen here
[07:05] <mattg> yes, but its doing nothing...
[07:05] <MrChicken> Ashfire908 ... I know, but I need to run a specific app that only works on php4 (or so its claimed)
[07:05] <KarlosII> hmm
[07:06] <ronald__> scott_: as far i know there is no limit. try without the gzip as gzip is memory intensive. try the gzip after a tar -cvf
[07:06] <melvin> MrChicken: #ubuntu+1 is the place for discussing gutsy
[07:06] <Ashfire908> MrChicken you might beable to run it under php5 right away, with some modification to the config, or to the code
[07:06] <AlgorthmicContro> my Restart and shutdown menu in ubuntu were wiped out
[07:06] <Ashfire908> melvin: it's about php5, not gusty
[07:06] <AlgorthmicContro> could anyone hellp?
[07:07] <melvin> MrChicken: it was probably written before PHP5, so I suspect it'll run in 5 anyways
[07:07] <melvin> MrChicken: have you tried?
[07:07] <Morgan555> Arrick, whats your problem?
[07:07] <nj786> can u dlownload any games on ubuntu>
[07:07] <scott_> thanks..will give that a whirl. I am using it with a bash script and kcron to backup files. had to resort to cp for the photo archive and .tar.gz for everything else.
[07:07] <MrChicken> I'm gonna give it a try and see
[07:07] <Ashfire908> melvin: php4 and php 5 are not fully compatable
[07:07] <pvl> nj786 google ubuntu games
[07:07] <KarlosII> sec mattg, trying to find the original link
[07:08] <cl5agyl> hlowwwwwwwww
[07:08] <KlrSpz> hey guys, when i boot up, i get this error: prism54usb  probe failed with error -110 and i have to physically remove/plugin my wifi dongle; anyone know how to have it successfully probe on boot?
[07:08] <wayne_> ....
[07:08] <KarlosII> mattg, here grab this file http://www.kanotix.com/files/install-nvidia-debian.sh
[07:09] <mattg> im checkin something out
[07:09] <wayne_> what?
[07:09] <wayne_> Can you help Me
[07:09] <melvin> wayne_: what's your problem?
[07:10] <wayne_> bug
[07:10] <mannytu> !ask
[07:10] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:10] <KarlosII> ctrl alt f1 to that screen and login and run that script by typing sudo sh install-nvidia-debian.sh -a (it wlll prolly ask for a password when u do that), ctrl alt f7 to come back to your desktop
[07:10] <bruenig> mattg, I would probably be wary of a script such as that
[07:10] <wayne_> warit
[07:10] <pvl> whats KSycoca?
[07:10] <KarlosII> bruenig, grow up
[07:10] <KarlosII> kanotix is a legit distro
[07:11] <mattg> how do i run it, karlosii
[07:11] <bruenig> KarlosII, it doesn't mean the script will work idiot, envy is a perfectly legitimate program too but it will screw stuff up, automatix is not intended to be malicious but it is awful
[07:11] <mannytu> !tty
[07:11] <ubotu> To get to the tty terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login).
[07:11] <KarlosII> see my previous statement
[07:11] <saiae> how do I install an ethernet device that isn't automatically being installed via command line?
[07:11] <wayne_> do you know  VirusScaner
[07:11] <wolfsong> how do i setup X apps like editors to run sudo?
[07:11] <KarlosII> bruenig, I know it works I use it
[07:11] <bruenig> KarlosII, unless your setup is identical to whoever wrote the script, it fails, the script because it abstracts it leaves you no idea what to do
[07:11] <bruenig> !worksforme | KarlosII
[07:11] <ubotu> KarlosII: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[07:12] <melvin> wayne_: do we know VirusScanner?
[07:12] <bruenig> KarlosII, automatix does just fine on lots of computers too
[07:12] <wayne_> can you call me
[07:12] <Arrick> Morgan555: trying to get my wireless and lan to connect at the same time
[07:12] <KarlosII> bruenig, the script is compatible with ubuntu as per the author kano who i kknow personally
[07:12] <bruenig> KarlosII, so is envy, but it fails
[07:12] <KarlosII> he designed it to work with ubuntu
[07:12] <bruenig> KarlosII, so is automatix
[07:12] <melvin> wayne_: ?? are you 12 or something?
[07:12] <bruenig> !envy | KarlosII
[07:12] <ubotu> KarlosII: 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!
[07:12] <mannytu> bruenig never sleeps...
[07:12] <wayne_> ??
[07:12] <KarlosII> bruenig, yes I know what envy is
[07:12] <scott_> what does everyone think of automatix
[07:13] <melvin> wayne_: what do you want to know?
[07:13] <bruenig> KarlosII, that was made excplicitly for ubuntu, but it screws up
[07:13] <wayne_> ...virus sCANER
[07:13] <bruenig> !automatix | scott_
[07:13] <ubotu> scott_: 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)
[07:13] <elkbuntu> bruenig, try to avoid calling people idiots. KarlosII please /msg ubotu automatix and click the link to read the developer evaluation
[07:13] <wayne_> SORRY
[07:13] <KarlosII> envy, only screws up because of bugs in nvidia most of the time
[07:13] <melvin> wayne_: there's no need for a virus scanner in GNU/Linux
[07:13] <bruenig> elkbuntu, sorry, just got a bit heated when I was told to grow up after I said to be wary of automagic install scripts on something like that
[07:14] <Vegancheesesteak> Ashfire908: ah the problem was my path to sendmail from php.ini. its /usr/sbin not /usr/bin
[07:14] <elkbuntu> KarlosII, not true. it actually is capable of totally removing half of Ubuntu. it did so to a poor fellow just a few days ago
[07:14] <scott_> envy was good for getting the drivers but then nvidia settings screwed up my x11 config file.
[07:14] <KarlosII> elkbuntu, wtf
[07:14] <elkbuntu> KarlosII, the poor guy lost the whole of GNOME because of automatix
[07:14] <KarlosII> I nvr told mattg to use automatix
[07:14] <KarlosII> neither have I told him to use envy
[07:14] <saiae> anyone know how to install an ethernet device that isn't automatically being installed in command line?
[07:15] <bruenig> KarlosII, installing nvidia drivers require xorg modifications, that requires stream editing, stream editing relies on certain hooks in the file, those hooks might not be the same might be located other places, there is far too much variance in that situation
[07:15] <Arrick> screw it
[07:15] <KarlosII> for the reason of I know the script I gave him works and takes many things into account and fixes many issues that envy and automatix have
[07:15] <KarlosII> bruenig, your aregument is pointless
[07:15] <bruenig> KarlosII, explain where I am wrong?
[07:16] <dashgr> melvin: hey, do you have any other solutions to my no sound on movies problem? The w32codecs didnt seem to work
[07:16] <KarlosII> I'm trying to help a noobie, and making him edit compile nvidia drivers manually is pointless task
[07:16] <genefitz> Okay, lets not make this a pissing contest!
[07:16] <KarlosII> that is where your wrong, so using a script is the best method to help him
[07:17] <bruenig> KarlosII, well fundamentally from a design perspective the script is questionably able to do this
[07:17] <effie_jayx> hey guys... anyone here with a IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller
[07:17] <effie_jayx> ??
[07:17] <bruenig> KarlosII, I can write a short script that can do it on mine, but the universality of any such script is highly questionable
[07:17] <bruenig> which is why envy has problems
[07:17] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, i don't have one but what's the problem you are having
[07:17] <bruenig> and why this invariably will have problems, perhaps it will work for him, but in practice it is fundamentally a poor idea
[07:18] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  my mic is not working properly
[07:18] <KarlosII> bruenig, thats your opinion, I would not be recommending  the link if I knew it had issues....it's designed to work with ubuntu
[07:18] <bruenig> KarlosII, so is envy, that is the point
[07:18] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  I try cranking up the mic voule and the sound becomes garbled
[07:18] <KarlosII> for bloody sakes I never told him to use envy
[07:18] <wolfsong> anyone know how to setup X apps like editors to run sudo?
[07:18] <IcemanV9> saiae: what kind of ethernet device? but, you're online?
[07:18] <bruenig> KarlosII, but it is the exact same thing
[07:18] <mattg> karlosII!
[07:18] <KarlosII> yes mattg
[07:19] <bruenig> KarlosII, a python script versus a bash script, the problems that envy can't overcome are exactly the problems this can't
[07:19] <CydeSwype> KarlosII: i used envy on feisty and installed everything easily, but i was lucky
[07:19] <mattg> i hit ctrl alt f1 before reading the whole thing
[07:19] <genefitz> bruenig, well, if you have a better solution, offer. If not, let someone else do the helping..
[07:19] <KarlosII> what happened when you  ran that script mattg
[07:19] <CydeSwype> it ended up causing more problems though when i tried to install it "for real"
[07:19] <mattg> i didnt run it....
[07:19] <mattg> how do i do it again?
[07:19] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  any clue?
[07:19] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx: hmm
[07:19] <KarlosII> ctrl alt f1 to that screen and login and run that script by typing sudo sh install-nvidia-debian.sh -a (it wlll prolly ask for a password when u do that), ctrl alt f7 to come back to your desktop
[07:20] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  this little glitch is no very common
[07:20] <bruenig> genefitz, a better solution would be to go through it normally
[07:20] <KarlosII> mattg, hopefully everything works at that point, there may be a slight manual modification to your xorg.conf we need to make
[07:20] <bruenig> genefitz, but your assertion is fundamentally stupid, if someone says do rm -rf / and I say don't do that, you can't say that because I haven't posited something myself that I haven't a place to talk
[07:20] <genefitz> bruenig, well, apparently that didn't work, so what next?
[07:20] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx: anything that could be causeing noise like a power cable near the mic cable
[07:21] <KarlosII> bruenig, I'm not going to waste my time wondering if he did everything I asked of him and spend hours doing so
[07:21] <SystemOverload> How can I run tightvnc after I installed it
[07:21] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx: (I doubt it's you sound card)
[07:21] <SystemOverload> I need to start a server.
[07:21] <KarlosII> bruenig, that command is a different situation
[07:21] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  not quite... it is a head set.. brand new,,
[07:21] <genefitz> bruenig, if you are posting things like than, someone should stand up because it is malicious. My point is, that all I have seen you do is just put down other's solutions..
[07:21] <bruenig> KarlosII, oh ok, I thought the idea was to help him, that was the criterion that I was using to weight that advice, under the criterion of not wanting to spend much time on it, then you are certainly correct, although envy would probably be an even better solution under that criterion
[07:22] <genefitz> My point is if you have a better solution, give the solution..
[07:22] <bruenig> weigh*
[07:22] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  could it be the sound capture device?
[07:22] <wolfsong> SystemOverload: i just used System>Preferences>Remote Desktop
[07:22] <mneptok> mattg: it's a pretty bad idea to run shell scripts some guy on IRC gives you, unless you can parse them and make sure they're kosher.
[07:22] <KarlosII> bruenig, just move along I'm putting you on ignore.....
[07:22] <KarlosII> mneptok, unless they are from legit sources
[07:22] <SystemOverload> Well, I need a friend who is using Windows to be able to connect
[07:22] <SystemOverload> And I think I need tightVNC for that
[07:22] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  there are many options if I click the drop down box
[07:22] <mneptok> KarlosII: define "legit"
[07:22] <bruenig> KarlosII, it is a design problem you moron
[07:22] <mattg> mneptok i found it on the net, too, so im just gonna do it
[07:23] <wolfsong> SystemOverload: i was able to do it with those steps
[07:23] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx: i'd rather start with the simple options.
[07:23] <mneptok> mattg: what are you trying to do?
[07:23] <daaku> anyone know of a tool that can merge multiple maildirs?
[07:23] <mattg> got the x86 version burning anyways, so if it dont work, reinstall
[07:23] <inflex> I need to access some libs that are in my home dir (ie, ~/foo/lib  , how do I add them into the LD search path?
[07:23] <KarlosII> mneptok, know valid sites such as ubuntu, kanotix ( a legit distro)
[07:23] <SystemOverload> Did it work for windows?
[07:23] <mattg> get my nvidia geforce go 7600 workin proper
[07:23] <wolfsong> SystemOverload: yes
[07:23] <KarlosII> mattg, huh?
[07:23] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, actually thats a good idea
[07:23] <KarlosII> get?
[07:23] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: yep. i have done it with my parents' PC (winxp)
[07:23] <SystemOverload> Nice, do they use a VNC client or RDP?
[07:23] <mattg> the guy's wondering what i'm doing, karlosii
[07:23] <mneptok> KarlosII: this .sh of yours is hosted on an official Ubuntu server?
[07:23] <wolfsong> VNC
[07:23] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  well... I shall fiddle and see
[07:23] <KarlosII> its hosted on a official kanotix server
[07:23] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, what's in the box right now?
[07:23] <wolfsong> TightVNC Viewer
[07:24] <bruenig> mneptok, I don't know if it is even worth it, it is one of those people that come in here every once in a while who doesn't have the slightest idea what they are talking about but being as this is #ubuntu doesn't have much to worry about
[07:24] <mneptok> mattg: the nVidia drivers provided by the repos aren't working?
[07:24] <SystemOverload> So If I use the Built in they can connect with TightVNC?
[07:24] <SystemOverload> Nice, thanks
[07:24] <wolfsong> np
[07:24] <KarlosII> mneptok, ubuntu repos nviidia driverr setup sucks
[07:24] <bruenig> mneptok, the sort of situation where if he were to say it in any other distros channel, 20 people would come down on him in a fury but unfortunately no such thing can be had here, if only pelo was still on
[07:24] <KarlosII> period
[07:24] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: RDP works also if it is winxp pro
[07:24] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, what's in the box right now?
[07:24] <mneptok> KarlosII: not what i asked
[07:24] <mattg> nope, mneptok.  they aren't under restricted, the ones in add/remove wont work...why is x64 being so difficult?!
[07:24] <SystemOverload> Oh, thanks for that Iceman, good to know :D
[07:25] <SystemOverload> What will the address be?
[07:25] <SystemOverload> My IP and port 5900?
[07:25] <KarlosII> mattg, did u run that script?
[07:25] <elkbuntu> KarlosII, kanotix 'approving' something does not validate it for Ubuntu.
[07:25] <mneptok> mattg: even the -new branch?
[07:25] <rexy_> yep
[07:25] <mattg> even that, mneptok
[07:25] <KarlosII> elkbuntu, the same applies to ubuntui
[07:25] <mattg> im still burning my cd, karlosii
[07:25] <mneptok> mattg: what problems are you seeing?
[07:25] <dashgr> anyone know how i can get sound working with wmv video files?
[07:25] <KarlosII> huh
[07:25] <MajorVictory> question
[07:25] <rexy_> dashgr: does it work in general?
[07:25] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx?
[07:26] <mattg> mneptok: low resolution, no effects
[07:26] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: just IP addie (leave port as it is)
[07:26] <KarlosII> what cd are u bruning I only asked for u to download that script?
[07:26] <SystemOverload> oh ok.
[07:26] <mattg> i was burning x86 version, karlosii
[07:26] <SystemOverload> MY friend is going to try it out, let me see how this works.
[07:26] <klingon> I have a drive that is just 1 big ext3 partition.. is there any way I can break it up into more than 1 part
[07:26] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  ALSA - Advanced Linux Sound Arquitecture
[07:26] <elkbuntu> KarlosII, back off please
[07:26] <bruenig> mattg, but how could that be, you ran the script, I don't understand
[07:26] <KarlosII> Oh of ubuntu livecd
[07:26] <bruenig> the script, remeber the name of it
[07:26] <dashgr> rexy_: the video works but not the sound
[07:26] <bruenig> it was from kanotix
[07:26] <mneptok> mattg: did you enable the resolutions you wanted wihh a dpkg-reconfigure or editing xorg.conf?
[07:26] <bruenig> I don't get it
[07:26] <genefitz> There are some install systems I think work, some I don't trust. As I said earlier, I use the CNR plugin. I don't think all install scripts are evil.
[07:26] <MajorVictory> if you edit a partition to become a swap, and it errors two seconds later, and then says that partition is empty, is it possible to change the partition back to normal?
[07:26] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: you'll have to tweak a little bit with your friend (depends on how s/he set it up :)
[07:27] <rexy_> dashgr: i understand that, but does it work in general, can you play music files and hear them
[07:27] <bruenig> KarlosII, I like how you say it was designed for ubuntu, have you read the thing?
[07:27] <CydeSwype> bruenig: i happen to agree with you.  i think the default nvidia drivers are the right way.  fortunately, gutsy is looking really good with the default support and having compiz fusion on by default should make karlos's .sh (and envy) completely unnecessary.
[07:27] <bruenig> KarlosII, it checks for kantox_version first
[07:27] <SystemOverload> Ok, let me see how this works Icemanv9
[07:27] <SystemOverload> G
[07:27] <dashgr> rexy_: oh lol, yea it works
[07:27] <KarlosII> bruenig, YES
[07:27] <bruenig> CydeSwype, well that way works too
[07:27] <bruenig> and then debian version both of which will shoot out errors
[07:27] <rexy_> dashgr: sound muted?
[07:27] <KarlosII> bruenig, I know what it does......
[07:27] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: have fun and good luck
[07:27] <wolfsong> anyone know how to setup X editors sudo?
[07:27] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  trying diferent stuff didn't work
[07:27] <SystemOverload> Thanks.
[07:27] <KarlosII> bruenig, Kano is the author of it
[07:27] <morloc> I think that's so awesome that Groening uses Ubuntu :)
[07:27] <elkbuntu> KarlosII, kano is not the author os automatix
[07:27] <KarlosII> and of kanotix....it still works with ubuntu
[07:28] <KarlosII> elkbuntu, shut the heck up I said nothing of automatix
[07:28] <IcemanV9> wolfsong: gksu <X program>
[07:28] <rexy_> oi language
[07:28] <bruenig> KarlosII, there is some disconnect in understanding of the design problems such a script could have then, I don't see how you can grasp that due to the necessary stream editing the lack of universally consistent xorgs that such scripts are inevitably problematic
[07:28] <dashgr> rexy_: no my instant messaging sounds work
[07:28] <MajorVictory> can anyone help me?
[07:28] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx is the mic jack in the mic port and not the line in?
[07:28] <mneptok> KarlosII: Envy is a hack and should only be used by experienced users with no other options. and even then, they should be sure to pray to whatever gods they worship.
[07:28] <rexy_> dashgr: i assume your playing in totem, is the slider there moved open?
[07:29] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  it is pretty hard to miss it ... it is a laptop ;)
[07:29] <KarlosII> elkubuntu abuse of power, Kanotix is the author of the script and kanotix distro........
[07:29] <pvl> what is Sycoca?
[07:29] <KarlosII> mneptok, wtf is with you guys talking abotu envy or automatix, the script is not releated to those
[07:29] <mattg> BRB!
[07:29] <dashgr> rexy_: i am usign totem, how do i check?
[07:29] <Ashfire908> !ask | MajorVictory
[07:29] <ubotu> MajorVictory: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[07:29] <MajorVictory> if you edit a partition to become a swap, and it errors two seconds later, and then says that partition is empty, is it possible to change the partition back to normal?
[07:29] <wolfsong> IcemanV9: how do i do it from Nautilus if i right click and Open?
[07:29] <bruenig> KarlosII, the problems are universal I have already explained it to you
[07:29] <rexy_> there is a slider bottom right of the program or at least a sound icon you can click on
[07:29] <sacamano> Hi....I can't find a good guide of how to install an RPM
[07:30] <sacamano> i tried rpm ivh package
[07:30] <sacamano> it came up with a massive list of options
[07:30] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx is the headset wireless or wired
[07:30] <rexy_> just click on it
[07:30] <bruenig> KarlosII, the stream editing and lack of universally consistent xorgs make it prone to failure, you can't get around that without getting around one of those
[07:30] <KarlosII> bruenig, tell me that after you have used the aforementioned kanotix script and had problesm, thank you
[07:30] <SystemOverload> Hey iceman, my friend is having some problems.
[07:30] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  wired
[07:30] <rexy_> in the gui, should bring up an installer
[07:30] <SystemOverload> He can get on, but like, he can't see anything moving when he moves things around
[07:30] <IcemanV9> wolfsong: that .. i don't know. i just type it in the terminal.
[07:30] <mattg> IT WORKED!!!  but i dont have any title bars...
[07:30] <SystemOverload> but I see him messing with things
[07:30] <bruenig> KarlosII, so until xorgs are the same on every computer or the script does not require stream editing, it is a bad idea
[07:30] <KarlosII> what do u mean title bars mattg?
[07:30] <mattg> to close stuff...
[07:30] <mattg> to move stuff...
[07:30] <elkbuntu> window decoration
[07:31] <wolfsong> SystemOverload: what type of problems? did he use VNC or RDP?
[07:31] <KarlosII> thats odd
[07:31] <SystemOverload> TightVNC, he is going to reconnect,. hold on.
[07:31] <wolfsong> thanks IcemanV9
[07:31] <KlrSpz> Can anyone help with this error on boot? prism54usb: probe of 1-5:1.0 failed with error -110tvbox
[07:31] <KarlosII> so u have a desktop sorta?
[07:31] <MajorVictory> well i'll have to come back tomorrow looks like i gotta leave
[07:31] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, describe again what happens if you turn the sound all the way up
[07:31] <MajorVictory> cya guys later
[07:31] <KarlosII> mattg
[07:31] <LoveToS_pam> Skuptina o Malome Gospoinu Dne na Cetinju, pod vidom da mire neke glave
[07:31] <LoveToS_pam>     Glavari su se makli na stranu, a narod kolo vodi.
[07:31] <LoveToS_pam> Kolo
[07:31] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: RDP? it'll won't show on his monitor; only on yours - it's a drawback
[07:31] <genefitz> mattg, try disabling effects.. Effects did that on my computer too. when I enabled them the title bars went away..
[07:31] <LoveToS_pam>     Bog se dragi na Srbe razljuti
[07:31] <mattg> i have a desktop...everything's good, just no titlebars
[07:31] <SystemOverload> Oh, that is what happens with RDP?
[07:31] <KarlosII> gene, disabling effects in xorg.copnf, right?
[07:32] <mattg> yeah, thats it, genefitz
[07:32] <CydeSwype> mattg, install emerald?
[07:32] <SystemOverload> I see, so let me start up a VNC server
[07:32] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  well ... the audio of any song or movie becomes garbled .. with lot's of static... and
[07:32] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: VNC is better if your friend wants to see what you are doing
[07:32] <genefitz> mattg, for some reason it does that, what I had to do for effects is remove the native compiz and install fuzion
[07:32] <KarlosII> ah there we go :)
[07:32] <mattg> ill try emerald
[07:32] <kaushal> hi
[07:32] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  it doesn't get any input from the mic
[07:32] <KarlosII> mattg so everything working now
[07:32] <SystemOverload> Ok, let me do that, he wants that :D
[07:32] <mattg> yeah, karlosii, thx
[07:32] <quadricolour> I am using Nintendo DS.
[07:32] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: i would do, too. ;)
[07:32] <SystemOverload> How do I run the tightvnc after I got it and intsalled it with apt-get?
[07:32] <mannytu> :-)
[07:33] <Ashfire908> ...it's not the mic?
[07:33] <SystemOverload> *installed
[07:33] <KarlosII> no problem.....forgive these noobs for trying to stop me from helping you, who are new at this :)
[07:33] <KarlosII> and using the KISS formula
[07:33] <mattg> genefitz can u walk me thru that, plz?
[07:33] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: tightvnc-viewer (use tab key to complete typing)
[07:33] <SystemOverload> For me, would it be server?
[07:33] <genefitz> Karlosll, the way it always goes. Some people are too stuck in the "one way" idea that they automatically dismiss anything that can possibly be helpful..
[07:34] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  i'm guessing there is something wrong with alsa
[07:34] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx,  ...it's not the mic?
[07:34] <genefitz> Matt there is a wiki that can walk you through it, hold on, and I will get you the link..
[07:34] <mneptok> KarlosII: that script pulls unsigned code from a URL. simple spoofing or DNS poison could result in a user executing unknown code. please do not recommend that to Ubuntu users. if Kanotix wants to do it, fine.
[07:34] <SystemOverload> Like, what would the whole command be?
[07:34] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: no, on your friend's
[07:34] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  bough it brand new... it is a headset
[07:34] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, is it the mic?
[07:34] <SystemOverload> Yea, he needs to use the tightvnc viewer
[07:34] <SystemOverload> But, I need to make a VNC server, a tightvnc server that is.
[07:34] <bnovc> if i have an old ubuntu cd from a year or two ago, should i just use that to install andthen upgrade to the newest
[07:34] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  I tested it on a stereo and it works
[07:35] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: oh! okay. another way around then. YES.
[07:35] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, is it the mic?
[07:35] <SystemOverload> Now, what would the whole command be? Sorry if I am annoying you :P
[07:35] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  not the mic... no
[07:35] <foxray> does ubuntu support tv tuner cards? i have a ati tv wonder ve (phillips bt878) card lying around
[07:35] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, mute the mic.
[07:35] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx oh
[07:35] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  the mic generates static
[07:35] <mneptok> foxray: th question is "does ATI support Linux?" and the answer is "not really"
[07:36] <effie_jayx> but I can't pick up andy audio
[07:36] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx ???
[07:36] <wolfsong> SystemOverload: i didn't have to use any commands...just set the Remote Desktop to allow users to connect
[07:36] <IcemanV9> bnovc: yes, you can. but, you'll have to go thru every single version like breezy -> dapper -> edgy -> feisty
[07:36] <SystemOverload> But I would like to use VNC, not RDP.
[07:36] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  the computer won't capture any sound from the mic
[07:36] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, is it a cheap headset?
[07:36] <bmachine> what up
[07:36] <SystemOverload> He can connect, but its RDP or he can see but gets no results when clicking on things
[07:36] <wolfsong> SystemOverload: it does use VNC
[07:36] <bryckwyndows> foxray: i would check ati.com
[07:36] <SystemOverload> I want to start a tightvnc server, not through the built in program
[07:36] <fsckr> how can i downgrade from 100.14.11 nvdia driver to 9755?
[07:36] <fsckr> without breaking the system
[07:37] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908, I would say... Not "el cheapo" brand but... it is a nice set
[07:37] <bmachine> anyone have luck with peerguardian?
[07:37] <bmachine> in ubuntu 7.04
[07:37] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, waht exactly is your problem?
[07:37] <wolfsong> SystemOverload: try the setting
[07:37] <wolfsong> it should show the VNC viewer address
[07:37] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  it is best described here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512849&highlight=00%3A14.5+Multimedia+audio+controller%3A+ATI+Technologies+Inc+IXP+SB400+AC%2797+Audio+Controller+%28rev+02%29+mic
[07:37] <bruenig> bmachine, I didn't think peerguardian had a linux port, everytime I have checked it always pointed to some linux thing that was similar
[07:37] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: use tab key to complete typing .. tightvn (tab) ... it should complete the whole thing (get server instead of viewer)
[07:37] <SystemOverload> But all I type is just tightvnc-server?
[07:38] <SystemOverload> oh oh oh I see.
[07:38] <bmachine> bruenig, actually i have found it does...I just can get it to work right
[07:38] <bruenig> bmachine, link?
[07:38] <SystemOverload> Like that works for firefox, but not for tightvnc
[07:38] <bmachine> cant*
[07:38] <pvl> does anyone have any idea what sycoca is?
[07:38] <bryckwyndows> vncviewr
[07:38] <bryckwyndows> try thgat
[07:38] <bryckwyndows> err vncviewer
[07:38] <bryckwyndows> maybe
[07:38] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: it works in the terminal
[07:38] <bryckwyndows> i think tight installs as vncviewer and vncserver
[07:38] <SystemOverload> That works bryck, but I need to start a tightvnc server
[07:38] <IcemanV9> bryckwyndows: what about server? vncserver?
[07:38] <SystemOverload> Iceman, I tried it.
[07:39] <bryckwyndows> vncserver
[07:39] <SystemOverload> command not found
[07:39] <bnovc> IcemanV9: should work though right?
[07:39] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, is the problem that the mic doesn't work or that it works but not so well
[07:39] <IcemanV9> bnovc: yes. what version on the old CD?
[07:39] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  it doesn't work...
[07:39] <wolfsong> SystemOverload: have you tried enabling Remote Desktop?
[07:39] <GreyGhost> is there a way to make apt ignore or warn me when it tries to install a perticular package ? like i dont want it to ever install SDL_gfx package even if its a dependency for another app ...
[07:40] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx do you get sound from the mic at all
[07:40] <SystemOverload> Yes, hold on
[07:40] <bruenig> !pinning | GreyGhost
[07:40] <ubotu> GreyGhost: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[07:40] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  no
[07:40] <bryckwyndows> lol
[07:40] <bryckwyndows> this channel is hopping
[07:40] <bryckwyndows> be well people
[07:40] <bnovc> IcemanV9: not sure yet, about to try it
[07:40] <bryckwyndows> im out
[07:40] <SystemOverload> to install it I do this
[07:40] <SystemOverload> sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
[07:40] <GreyGhost> bruenig ,thanks i'll read :)
[07:40] <wolfsong> IcemanV9: found the answer http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75610&highlight=nautilus+edit+root

[07:40] <SystemOverload> Now, I just need to access it
[07:40] <BrendanW> What would you guys recommend I use for a screencast in Ubuntu?
[07:41] <wolfsong> SystemOverload: if it's installed then what i said should work fine i think
[07:41] <wolfsong> but i also installed the vncserver pkg
[07:41] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  well if I mute it no sound comes on...
[07:41] <tazman34685> what would you guys use a podcast
[07:41] <bruenig> BrendanW, instanbul recordmydesktop come to mind, I have used recordmydesktop I think
[07:41] <IcemanV9> wolfsong: very cool. never done that before. always done in the terminal. good find. :)
[07:41] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, the mic
[07:41] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, not the main
[07:42] <wolfsong> i never found a specific way to start the tightvnc server
[07:42] <SystemOverload> I GOT IT!!!
[07:42] <SystemOverload> hold on

[07:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nopaste - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:44] <elkbuntu> !paste | masterloki
[07:44] <ubotu> masterloki: 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)
[07:44] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: ah. just scrolled up the search. yep. i see tightvncserver. that should do it.
[07:45] <masterloki> I have been getting this for the last day or so can anyone help me understand it
[07:45] <SystemOverload> It did, but do I still have to allow remote connections with the built in vnc program?
[07:45] <TrentG-> I made a bit of a messup with an nvidia driver since I was running livecd then forgot to restart it and then run the install...so it cannot be found and wont run X server. How do I go about getting defaults back so I can boot it and then sort the drivers?
[07:45] <SystemOverload> Because it seems as if he can't connect to the tightvnc one, only the built-in
[07:45] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, edit -> preferences
[07:45] <wolfsong> SystemOverload: possibly
[07:45] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, select everything
[07:45] <AfterDeath> masterloki: all it's telling you is it found an AGP v3 video card
[07:45] <bruenig> bmachine, yeah that page doesn't go anywhere, just sits and loads I guess
[07:45] <wolfsong> does it make a difference?
[07:45] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: yeah. it should pop up the message if you want to allow or reject his connection
[07:46] <FBINinja> ok i got a few questions, i'll shoot them off when i get to that point
[07:46] <doorsman> how do i install a .tar.gz archive ?
[07:46] <wolfsong> IcemanV9: only if you have that option enabled
[07:46] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  select everything where in sounds?
[07:46] <bruenig> bmachine, they do appear to have a sourceforge page though, I always just use built in client blocking
[07:46] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, ???
[07:46] <masterloki> so it not to big of a deal to conser about
[07:46] <SystemOverload> Yup, hold on
[07:47] <hhp2k> Hey guys, I'm trying to install a new font. Have the font on the desktop and the font folder open, but when I successfully place the fonts in the folder, they're nowhere to be found. Placing them in the folder again prompts me to replace them, which I do, and still they're simply not there. Anyone know what's going on?
[07:47] <IcemanV9> doorsman: you need to untar the archive first before you can install
[07:47] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, in volume control click "edit" in the menu of the volume control window, and click on "Preferences"
[07:47] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  you told me <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, edit -> preferences  then <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, select everything... where .. in sound?
[07:47] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, a window should appear
[07:47] <effie_jayx> ok
[07:47] <TrentG-> wow is it always busy in here like this ?
[07:47] <TrentG-> never really been here before
[07:48] <hhp2k> TrentG-: Always, always
[07:48] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, in volume control click "edit" in the menu of the volume control window, and click on "Preferences"
[07:48] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, a window should appear
[07:48] <z0rz> doorsman: Something that is .tar.gz could be a binary or source code.. it could be also something else (it's essenitial just a comprossed archive) .. you can probably open with the GUI though..
[07:48] <elkbuntu> usually busier
[07:48] <hhp2k> elkbuntu: Yeah :P was about to say that
[07:48] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, select all the options by putting a checkmark in the boxes
[07:48] <TrentG-> might find google easier if its like this :p
[07:48] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  done
[07:48] <n2diy_> TrentG-: no this is slow, sometimes we have 1100+ users.
[07:48] <doorsman> IcemanV9, i've already put it in a folder on the desktop
[07:48] <Ste-Foy> Bonne nuit tout le monde. Good night everybody. Or have a nice day, Bonne journe.
[07:48] <elkbuntu> wait for the next release... 1600 users when feisty was unleashed
[07:48] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, click close
[07:48] <z0rz> TrentG: yeah this is actually pretty slow.. Everyone has to adress everyone or it's too complicated.. You can't read every response usually
[07:49] <doorsman> z0rz, i've already tried that and i can't :/
[07:49] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, any new options/tabs?

[07:49] <elkbuntu> meanwhile, idle chatter > #ubuntu-offtopic

[07:49] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, what's new?
[07:49] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  mores volume

[07:57] <shellhack> effie_jayx: but thanks for your so needed help jayx
[07:58] <shiester_miester> well first I'd like to get ping happening :P and then file sharing
[07:58] <bmachine> lop
[07:58] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx what's in switches
[07:58] <Taladan> is the smb daemon or the LISA daemon running on your linux box?
[07:58] <BrendanW> So does anybody else have a suggestion for software to screengrab?
[07:58] <bmachine> l
[07:58] <n2diy_> shiester_miester: Well then, something isn't configed correctly.
[07:58] <shiester_miester> n2diy_, yes I thought much the same
[07:58] <shiester_miester> what should I be configuring?  any ideas?
[07:59] <Taladan> shiester_miester: is the LISA daemon running on your linux machine?
[07:59] <z0rz> shellhack: I'd look into converting those smv videos...
[07:59] <n2diy_> shiester_miester:Yes, the device that isn't responding.
[07:59] <shiester_miester> Taladan, i have no idea what that is, so if it has to be manually started, no
[07:59] <shellhack> z0rz: ok, that helps too
[07:59] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  line in, cd capture, mic capture (ticked), Mic boost (+20dB), video, Phoen. IEC958, Aux, Mix , Mix mono
[07:59] <z0rz> I don't know how the sony music video format works... Does it use some sort of protection?
[08:00] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx what's in options
[08:00] <shellhack> z0rz: yeah, but how I can to see the content of a video, that I want for my mp4 player?
[08:00] <shiester_miester> n2diy_, all I did was click the network manager applet in the tray and set the IP & subnet automatically for the 2nd NIC
[08:01] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  options?... where is that?
[08:01] <n2diy_> shiester_miester: Why did you do that?
[08:01] <z0rz> shellhack: I'm not understanding your question/english
[08:01] <SystemOverload> how do I close tightvnc once it is running
[08:01] <shellhack> z0rz: ok
[08:01] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx the tab
[08:01] <shiester_miester> n2diy_, the ip/subnet is already set on the other computer, so i was under the impression that they needed to be on the same subnet to work
[08:01] <IcemanV9> SystemOverload: pkill tightvncserver
[08:02] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  there is no option's tab
[08:02] <SystemOverload> thanks
[08:02] <z0rz> shellhack: You want to see the content of the smv video?  Does your mp4 player support the smv format?
[08:02] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908, playback, record,
[08:02] <shellhack> z0rz: I want to know how to play an .smv video file in ubuntu or how to convert it to other playable format
[08:02] <ziroday> SystemOverload: pkill tightvnc?
[08:02] <shellhack> z0rz: yeah
[08:02] <fsckr> ok im trying to uninstall nvidia drivers 100.14.11, and I can do that without a problem but when I install 9755 and try to get back into x i get an error saying glx module not loaded...http://pastebin.ca/669907 anyone shed some light on this?
[08:02] <SystemOverload> I did that.
[08:02] <CodemasterMM> SystemOverload: you might enjoy xkill
[08:02] <n2diy_> shiester_miester: Ok, but the boxes can't share the same IP address, but they do share the same subnet.
[08:02] <TrentG-> meh ive worked out this isnt what I need for this problem
[08:03] <ziroday> fsckr: how did you install the drivers?
[08:03] <SystemOverload> Let me check it out
[08:03] <shiester_miester> n2diy_, of course, the IP addresses are different by +1
[08:03] <shellhack> z0rz: but I want to know what kind of video Im gonna to put in my mp4 before?
[08:03] <TrentG-> you can only be so patient in the period of time you have to motivate yourself
[08:03] <fsckr> out of x by running sudo sh NVIDIA yada yada yada
[08:03] <shellhack> z0rd: do you understand me?
[08:03] <fsckr> it installs fine
[08:03] <fsckr> but when i sudo gdm start i get that error
[08:03] <TrentG-> copy, paste and goodbye
[08:03] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  sorry... I have.. this in options
[08:03] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  line in, cd capture, mic capture (ticked), Mic boost (+20dB), video, Phoen. IEC958, Aux, Mix , Mix mono
[08:04] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  bad gnome translation
[08:04] <effie_jayx> heheh
[08:04] <shellhack> z0rz: I want to play the video in ubuntu before to transfer it?
[08:04] <z0rz> shellhack: You want to preview your smv videos before your convert them?
[08:04] <n2diy_> shiester_miester: Ok, are they sharing a router or switch, can you ping them?
[08:04] <ziroday> fsckr: you are meant to install the m by sudo apt-get nvidia-glx
[08:04] <shellhack> z0rz: yeap
[08:04] <shiester_miester> n2diy_, nope, just a crossover
[08:04] <z0rz> shellhack: So I assume you have a lot of SMV videos?
[08:04] <z0rz> shellhack: I'm afraid the only answer I can find is "Use windows"
[08:04] <pvl> is there a command to check for empty directories
[08:05] <fsckr> ziroday, what do you mean meant to install the m
[08:05] <z0rz> shellhack: Do you have access to a windows computer that you can use temporarily?
[08:05] <nj786> is there a pool game for ubuntu?
[08:05] <n2diy_> shiester_miester: The boxes are connected via a crossover cable, and you can't ping them? Bad cable?
[08:05] <IcemanV9> or use wine with FX (for winxp)
[08:05] <shiester_miester> n2diy_, nope, i use the same cable for windows->windows networking
[08:05] <shellhack> z0rz: yeah I have 15 videos in .smv format
[08:05] <z0rz> shiester_miester: Do you have a link light?
[08:05] <shiester_miester> used it for years
[08:05] <fsckr> im running gutsy and nvidia-glx is actually the 9631 drivers :_
[08:05] <Rabiddog> gutsy?
[08:05] <nj786> is there a pool game for ubuntu
[08:05] <shiester_miester> well the lights on the NIC are flashing so its linked at the hardware level
[08:05] <shiester_miester> nj786, yes
[08:05] <ziroday> fsckr: the instructions for installing drivers on ubuntu is to sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx. or use the restricted drivers manager for teh very reason theya re easy to remove
[08:05] <Rabiddog> wow your brave using a alpha
[08:06] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, sorry, i don't think i can help you. i'm really tired and i'm beingging to think your sound card might not work with ubuntu. search the fourms to see if it is supported by ubuntu
[08:06] <nj786> shiester_miester: is it good? graphic wise?
[08:06] <fsckr> i have 2 choices in gutsy nvidia-glx which is 9631 and nvidia-glx-new which is 100.14.11
[08:06] <z0rz> shiester: Fresh install of ubuntu?  Do you have any firewalls? iptables? firestarter?
[08:06] <pvl> nj786 yes there is but you probably have to compile it
[08:06] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  thanks for the great effort...
[08:06] <n2diy_> shiester_miester: So the only thing that changes is booting linux or windows?
[08:06] <nj786> pvl: ok where can i find this and what do you mean "complie"
[08:06] <shiester_miester> nj786, its ok...what would you want fancy graphics for in a pool game?
[08:06] <shiester_miester> n2diy_, yep
[08:07] <shellhack> z0rz: I have windows in this computer, but just my cousin use it
[08:07] <shiester_miester> n2diy_, and I'd love to be able to do the networking from ubuntu, since thats one less thing I have to rely on windows for
[08:07] <ziroday> fsckr: this support channel is only for 6.06 and 7.04 please go to #ubuntu+1 for 7.10
[08:07] <nj786> shiester_miester: im just asking lol, where can  i find this pool game?
[08:07] <effie_jayx> Ashfire908,  I will try to fix it... ;)... thanks for all
[08:07] <pvl> nj786 well for one thing you can google ubuntu billiards or whatever it may be that you are looking for
[08:07] <Rabiddog> IcemanV9, jericho......bugs me in regards to the direction its heading
[08:07] <Ashfire908> effie_jayx, ok, good luck
[08:07] <shellhack> z0rz: Im windows phobic
[08:07] <shiester_miester> nj786, its in the repos...open add/remove programs and look in games, its in there somewhere
[08:07] <fsckr> already been there no help and I know what this channel is used for
[08:07] <n2diy_> shiester_miester: Hmmm, tha is interesting?
[08:07] <CodemasterMM> i need a bit of NFS help - i have a directory mounted from one machine (machine 'A') across to another machine (machine 'B') as /home/, but it seems that whenever i ssh into machine 'B' as a new user, it fails to create the user's home directory - this might be due to the fact that the home folder (on machine 'A') is owned by root and is chmod'd to 755... anyone have any idea how i can solve this?
[08:07] <nj786> shiester_miester: what is the game called?
[08:07] <pvl> nj786 and most of the time for linux, games and other things that you download outside of synaptic come as source files
[08:07] <shiester_miester> nj786, billiardGL
[08:08] <z0rz> shellhack: that's a good thing.. but I'd attempt to use it to convert those smv files to something useable
[08:08] <pvl> nj786 using the terminal youd have to compile and install them
[08:08] <mattg> so...here's the deal...i totally funked up my x64 version, but x86 has the drivers.  i just wanna make sure that the partitioning is right
[08:08] <barbie> hi, how can i use an iso image of debian as a repo?
[08:08] <z0rz> shellhack: And I don't expect you to have a good windows experience using an arcane video convertor.. video converting sucks on windows (atleast from what I've used)
[08:08] <ziroday> fsckr: than please dont ask on this channel - gutsy is not even beta for a reason
[08:09] <shellhack> z0rz: Its likes say a friend "if doesnt work in linux, dont use it"
[08:09] <icone> algum a ?
[08:09] <mattg> anybody who is good with the partitioning, hit me up
[08:09] <ziroday> barbie: System > Admin > Software Sources
[08:09] <icone> someone there ?
[08:09] <ziroday> icone: english only :)
[08:09] <shellhack> z0rz: I just want to know if there's a way
[08:09] <CodemasterMM> is there somewhere i can have NFS support, perhaps?
[08:09] <barbie> ziroday: will it take iso as the source?
[08:09] <pvl> is there a command to search for unused files and directories?
[08:09] <CodemasterMM> there is no #nfs, of course ;)
[08:09] <z0rz> shellhack: Yeah.. I wouldn't use smv either.. but you're the one stuck with the format ;)
[08:09] <ziroday> barbie: you have to specify the cd as a source
[08:10] <z0rz> shellhack: Not from what I can tell
[08:10] <fsckr> ziroday, its not like im killin someone or hurting anyone by askin in this channel.  installing nvidia drivers is pretty much the same no matter what you using
[08:10] <barbie> but i dont have a CD. i have iso image of dvd
[08:10] <nj786> shiester_miester: its not on add/remoove i searched for it
[08:10] <shellhack> effie_jayx: what is an agent?
[08:10] <ziroday> barbie: in theory yes in reality doubtful :)
[08:11] <lemonedo> Does anyone know why rosegarden doesn't make any sound?
[08:11] <shiester_miester> nj786, you have to click "show -> all available applications"
[08:11] <barbie> what if i specify /dev/loop0 as the cd device
[08:11] <barbie> after mounting the iso image?
[08:11] <nj786> shiester_miester: nvm i got it thanks
[08:11] <ziroday> fsckr: please use 7.04 if you want support on this channel :)
[08:11] <fsckr> sie
[08:12] <IcemanV9> barbie: i think you can. need to edit sources.list to add iso image via loop0. not sure if it works, but you can try
[08:12] <z0rz> What would you'll suggest for remote control of audio?
[08:12] <barbie> ok
[08:12] <z0rz> s/you'll/you all/
[08:12] <rexy_> z0rz: depends what you want to use for remote controll
[08:12] <z0rz> rexy_: Suggestions?
[08:12] <n2diy_> ziroday: 7.04? I won't touch that, 6.06 is LTS.
[08:13] <z0rz> command line would be cool.. but so would a web interface
[08:13] <shellhack> bye
[08:13] <z0rz> a beautiful web interface (possibly skinable with a community already developing) and a command line interface would be my wet dream
[08:13] <IcemanV9> s/you all/y'all/ ;)
[08:13] <lemonedo> Rosegarden does not make any sound...
[08:13] <LinuXubuntu> Hello, guys! :) I need a little help. Well, here is the deal. I need to acess the server of my LAN. How do I do that?
[08:13] <z0rz> IcemanV9: or is it ya'll ?
[08:13] <shellhack> if somebody get any information send it to my email
[08:13] <ziroday> n2diy_: fsckr is trying to find support for nvidia drives for 7.10, i told him the latest this channel supports is 7.04
[08:13] <shellhack> shellhack@gmail.com
[08:13] <shellhack> thanks
[08:13] <rexy_> z0rz: well you either have a remote control and adevice on your computer or you use another computer
[08:14] <icone> can anyone help me with an issue ? when I first installed this system ubuntu 7.0.4 the date was wrong, and I didn't realized, some time ago I fix the time, but when the computer rebooted it was cycling betwen reboots and the utility fsck that runed automaticaly during the boot and kept always saying an error message that the time in the files was in the future and rebooted again.   Always this cicle, until I went to bios, changed the date to
[08:14] <icone>  (yes you can laugh ..)  2050.   Now at least it boots normally, but I would like to fix the date and the files .... Any idea ?
[08:14] <rexy_> if you have infrared i'm sure you can whip up an interface for it
[08:14] <rexy_> but i dont know how
[08:14] <n2diy_> ziroday: Ok, roger that.
[08:14] <IcemanV9> z0rz: :) it means i should turn in for the night.
[08:14] <z0rz> rexy_: remote control meaning.. from another computer
[08:14] <z0rz> IcemanV9: Heh.. alright
[08:14] <LinuXubuntu> Yep... remote control...
[08:14] <z0rz> Nite
[08:14] <LinuXubuntu> Wich device do you guys recommend?
[08:14] <tobbe> hej
[08:14] <rexy_> z0rz you can use ssh and alsamixer
[08:14] <z0rz> LinuXubuntu: I think he thought I meant .. a remote control.. like a Logitech Harmony or something
[08:15] <ziroday> n2diy_: lol
[08:15] <rexy_> or use synergy to share keyboard and mouse
[08:15] <n2diy_> ziroday: :)
[08:15] <z0rz> rexy_: Already am :D
[08:15] <z0rz> First thing I set up after I changed my resolution
[08:15] <LinuXubuntu> z0rz: OK...
[08:16] <icone> dudes ... please ... please .. please ... just read this :
[08:16] <LinuXubuntu> So, I'll look for synergy, ssh and alsamixer
[08:16] <LinuXubuntu> Thanks!
[08:16] <icone> can anyone help me with an issue ? when I first installed this system ubuntu 7.0.4 the date was wrong, and I didn't realized, some time ago I fix the time, but when the computer rebooted it was cycling betwen reboots and the utility fsck that runed automaticaly during the boot and kept always saying an error message that the time in the files was in the future and rebooted again.

[08:16] <z0rz> rexy_: That's a possibility..  I think I want a web interface though..
[08:16] <rexy_> LinuXubuntu: i have no idea, i was talking to z0rz
[08:16] <archigos> Hey - how would I change my number of workspaces?
[08:16] <z0rz> Is there a video player for linux that has cli and web access?
[08:16] <rexy_> z0rz well google for it if someone made it already, or code an interface to alsamixer ;)
[08:16] <Syrah> hi
[08:17] <archigos> the preferences when I right click on the switcher doesn't let me choose how many to have
[08:17] <z0rz> archigos: Right click your workspace (by your trash, or wherever you have them) preferences.. and hit the up down arrows
[08:17] <z0rz> archigos: Hmm.. mine does. Not sure
[08:17] <Syrah> i installed ubuntu using alternate disk into a pen drive, but its not booting
[08:18] <archigos> grr
[08:18] <archigos> I wonder what config file that uses
[08:18] <Syrah> Grub gives an Error 17
[08:18] <vladuz976> how can I check how much memory my computer has?
[08:18] <archigos> as, I'm positive the reason I don't see it is because I'm running gutsy
[08:18] <icone> Syrah some bios don't boot at all from usb
[08:18] <z0rz> rexy_: I think I want more than just volume up and down.. maybe like a command line program.. kinda like when you run top .. it takes over the terminal..
[08:19] <Syrah> mine has an option to choose to boot from USB drive
[08:19] <b0xii> vladuz976: cat /proc/meminfo
[08:19] <dashgr> hi my sound doesn't seem to be working, how can i fix this?
[08:20] <b0xii> dashgr: various ways
[08:20] <vladuz976> b0xii, i look for MemTotal on top?
[08:20] <dashgr> b0xii: i'm open to suggestions
[08:20] <rexy_> z0rz: amixer is what you want then
[08:20] <b0xii> vladuz976: yes
[08:20] <rexy_> dashgr: is it unmuted?
[08:20] <kapo> wanna know the channel of wine and games
[08:20] <rexy_> #winehq
[08:20] <dashgr> rexy_: i is
[08:20] <vladuz976> b0xii, MemTotal:      1554504 kB that mean 1.5Gb?
[08:21] <b0xii> rgr
[08:21] <icone> can anyone help me with an issue ? when I first installed this system ubuntu 7.0.4 the date was wrong, and I didn't realized, some time ago I fix the time, but when the computer rebooted it was cycling betwen reboots and the utility fsck that runed automaticaly during the boot and kept always saying an error message that the time in the files was in the future and rebooted again.

[08:22] <b0xii> ugh...gibbon alpha 5 is taking 10x as long to install than alpha4
[08:22] <icone> would the package "timestamp" have anything to do with it ?   It appears that is not in the repository either ...
[08:23] <dashgr> rexy_: is there anything that i need to downlload to make the sound work?
[08:23] <b0xii> icone: check your bios time
[08:23] <robd> Hey guys
[08:23] <vladuz976> "free" command shows I only have 70880kb of free memory, but swap uses 0. why is it using so much memory?
[08:23] <robd> What package do I need to install to get fsck for hfs?
[08:23] <robd> I've tried hfsutils but it wasn't included :(
[08:24] <robd> vladuz976: What do "buffers" say?
[08:24] <icone> already did so
[08:24] <icone> i've tried everithing ...:s
[08:24] <b0xii> vladuz976: linux uses as much memory as is possible...unlike windows
[08:24] <SystemOverload> Ahh, he can't see what is going on my computer
[08:24] <icone> b0xiii've tried everithing ...:s
[08:24] <shiester_miester> really? why is that?
[08:24] <vladuz976> robd, -/+ buffers/cache:     257488    1297016
[08:24] <icone> b0xii i've tried everithing ...:s
[08:24] <robd> vladuz976: Okay... congrats you've got disk cache
[08:24] <cycom> vladuz976: it's not actually USING that memory actively, it just has stuff cached there.
[08:25] <icone> b0xii already did so
[08:25] <robd> Does anyone know about HFS support on Ubuntu?
[08:25] <b0xii> vladuz976: it's a good thing
[08:25] <cycom> vladuz976: it doesn't use swap unless it needs to cache something because it's honest to god USING all of that memory.
[08:25] <supoib> howdy all
[08:25] <vladuz976> robd, cycom, oh i see so what i am really using is only the 257488kb
[08:25] <decay> Hello. I made a python script. I'd like to execute it by just typing the name of it. how do i do that?
[08:25] <dashgr> spc
[08:25] <vladuz976> b0xii, so that should be more than enough memory then
[08:25] <nj786> shiester_miester: i dont like the game
[08:25] <robd> My boss lost his drive on his Mac (bad blocks), I did a dd of his drive image and now I'm trying to mount it to save "everything important, like your job"
[08:25] <b0xii> wtf is up w/ the gibbon alpha5 install...taking ages
[08:25] <supoib> decay: you'll have to mark it executable first
[08:25] <nj786> shiester_miester: is there one with the pool stick? lol
[08:26] <shiester_miester> nj786, what?
[08:26] <b0xii> running a athon 5000+ w/ 2GB ram
[08:26] <shiester_miester> nj786, its a GAME...its never going to be like actual, real pool
[08:26] <supoib> decay: chmod o+x scriptname
[08:26] <shiester_miester> why dont you just go and play a game of pool...
[08:26] <shiester_miester> its not that hard to find a pool hall
[08:26] <b0xii> or darts
[08:26] <nj786> shiester_miester: i know but some games actually have the visual POOL stick
[08:26] <shiester_miester> so what
[08:26] <shiester_miester> that doesnt make the game bad
[08:26] <supoib> decay: once you do that, execute the script by typing in the name
[08:26] <b0xii> or some midget wrestling
[08:27] <nj786> shiester_miester: like yahoo pool for example
[08:27] <makuseru> how do i make a two part rar archive?
[08:27] <nj786> snooker
[08:27] <nj786> etc...
[08:27] <supoib> now, if you're working from the directory where the script is located you'll have to do ./scriptname
[08:27] <nj786> shiester_miester: im asking if there are any other pool games
[08:27] <shiester_miester> nj786, I believe they left it out to show more accurately exactly where you are aiming
[08:27] <CodemasterMM> i need a bit of NFS help - i have a directory mounted from one machine (machine 'A') across to another machine (machine 'B') as /home/, but it seems that whenever i ssh into machine 'B' as a new user, it fails to create the user's home directory - this might be due to the fact that the home folder (on machine 'A') is owned by root and is chmod'd to 755... anyone have any idea how i can solve this?
[08:27] <nj786> shiester_miester: and its slow
[08:28] <shiester_miester> nj786, do I look like a computer game critic?
[08:28] <icone> b0xii I have to change the bios date to the year 2050 to the box boot normally, other wise it was cycling thru the fsck and reboots
[08:28] <shiester_miester> it plays pretty similar to an actual game of pool, physics wise
[08:28] <nj786> shiester_miester: im just asking, no need to get upset
[08:28] <shiester_miester> I'm not...
[08:28] <b0xii> icone...that's messed up
[08:28] <supoib> CodemasterMM: do these new users have accounts on machine B?
[08:28] <b0xii> icone: if this is a fresh install, i'd try again
[08:29] <nj786> shiester_miester: do you know any other pool games besides this one?/
[08:29] <rexy_> dashgr: no just the drivers and alsa, which come preinstalled
[08:29] <rexy_> do you not have sound anywhere?
[08:29] <CodemasterMM> supoib: yes
[08:29] <shiester_miester> nj786, when I want to play pool, i get in my car and drive to the pool hall and play an actual game of pool
[08:29] <CodemasterMM> supoib: they are accounts pulled from LDAP
[08:29] <supoib> ahh
[08:29] <supoib> ok
[08:29] <b0xii> icone: what version of ubuntu?
[08:29] <shiester_miester> nj786, look through the other games in the repos, and maybe check out google or something...I'm sure there are thousands of pool/snooker games around
[08:29] <rexy_> open up a terminal and type alsamixer, then with the arrow keys move all sliders to the red and make sure they are unmuted, you can umute and mute by using the m key
[08:30] <CodemasterMM> supoib: I'd make the directories myself, but i'm trying to stay in the mindset of "what if my LDAP had 6,000 people in it ;)"
[08:30] <nj786> shiester_miester: thankyou, and sorry for asking
[08:30] <supoib> CodemasterMM: i understand
[08:30] <supoib> CodemasterMM: scalability is key
[08:30] <CodemasterMM> yup
[08:30] <CodemasterMM> i know why i am getting the error, i just am unsure how to get around it :)
[08:30] <kazim59> ./configure says You must have the GLib 2.0 development headers installed to build..... what package is meant?
[08:30] <CodemasterMM> without compromising security
[08:30] <shiester_miester> nj786, don't be sorry...why do you assume that I'm angry?
[08:30] <z0rz> rexy_: Oh I like alxamixer .. now I just need something like xmms cli version or something
[08:30] <rexy_> glib-devel kazim
[08:31] <mattg> so...i think i have it all figured out
[08:31] <icone> b0xii the problem is that is a install with a few months .... :(  i've googled and I already been in IRC several times to see if someone can manage the problem, but until now ... nothing ...
[08:31] <b0xii> z0rz: mpg123
[08:31] <rexy_> z0rz not sure if there is one
[08:31] <nj786> shiester_miester: its the way u are responding seems like i am soing somehting wrong
[08:31] <nj786> siubg
[08:31] <nj786> doing*****
[08:31] <rexy_> for xmms that is
[08:31] <kazim59> rexy_: no glib-devel in repos
[08:31] <nj786> shiester_miester: its gonna be hard to find another pool game
[08:32] <shiester_miester> nj786, i don't think so...there are LOTS of them
[08:32] <shiester_miester> I've played quite a few
[08:32] <mattg> 80% install, see you all in a bit
[08:32] <rexy_> kazim search for it a bit it's inthere
[08:32] <icone> b0xii already have important files here ... I didn't realized at the beginning this problem, only several months later ... :(
[08:32] <nj786> shiester_miester: for ubuntu?
[08:32] <b0xii> icone: oic
[08:32] <nj786> specifically
[08:32] <supoib> CodemasterMM: to be honest, i'm not really all that well versed in LDAP
[08:32] <shiester_miester> nj786, you can just use wined
[08:32] <CodemasterMM> no problem
[08:32] <shiester_miester> *wine
[08:32] <b0xii> icone: what version of ubuntu?
[08:32] <supoib> so i don't think i'd be much help to you
[08:32] <z0rz> b0xii: Would I want mpg321 or mpg123-alsa ?
[08:32] <shiester_miester> and probably run most of them
[08:32] <supoib> but, one question
[08:32] <CodemasterMM> supoib: it's not really an LDAP problem, more of an NFS problem
[08:33] <CodemasterMM> because i've seen people "sharing" their home directories,
[08:33] <makuseru> how do i make a two part rar archive?
[08:33] <b0xii> z0rz: 321 is a bit more stable i would think..been around for 10 years
[08:33] <CodemasterMM> but i am unsure how to make them highly dynamic
[08:33] <z0rz> Does it support playlists?
[08:33] <icone> 7.0.4
[08:33] <shiester_miester> nj786, why is it so important that they be specifically made JUST for ubuntu?
[08:33] <supoib> CodemasterMM: i was just wondering, the daemon that creates these accounts on this box, does it have write access to the /home directory?
[08:33] <shiester_miester> nj786, why can't you play a windows pool game in wine, if its better than the linux games?
[08:34] <nj786> shiester_miester: wine does not alwys work
[08:34] <kazim59> rexy_: got it.. it was libglib2.0-dev
[08:34] <CodemasterMM> supoib: ah, you're right, it might be that.
[08:34] <rexy_> kazim there is also a build meta package
[08:34] <icone> since it apear in the download site I installed right away
[08:34] <shiester_miester> nj786, so?  that doesn't mean its not worth trying out
[08:34] <z0rz> b0xii: Does it support playlist?
[08:34] <CodemasterMM> supoib: i'm unsure what deamon account it uses, do you know how i would check that?
[08:34] <icone> b0xii since it apear in the download site I installed right away
[08:34] <rexy_> search for build with apt-cache, it will install most generic stuff you need to compile
[08:34] <shiester_miester> nj786, wine works for me most of the time
[08:34] <nj786> shiester_miester: do you know a windows pool game that will work i mnot that good with using wine
[08:35] <databuddy> im in ubuntu feisty - vlc - in metacity fullscreen does not take over the full screen - but in compiz it does
[08:36] <shiester_miester> nj786, no I don't, you should download a few and just try them out.  I haven't played a windows pool game for a while, i tend to play games that are actually fun...
[08:36] <alexin> im having an error "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executable" gawk, and gcc are installed. this happens with the ./configure (so im not even able to procede with make) im actually trying to install FUSE, but this error is happening on other packages too.  is anyone familiar with this?  i'm new to ubuntu
[08:36] <nj786> shiester_miester: yeah thats the problem with linux games most of them suck....and some windows games do not work
[08:37] <shiester_miester> nj786, not true at all, nexuiz is pretty good
[08:37] <shiester_miester> and my favourite windows games run fine in wine
[08:37] <shiester_miester> in some cases they run better than in windows :P
[08:37] <narg> alexin: Have you installed build-essential?
[08:37] <b0xii> god i hate ubuntu support for ati
[08:37] <shiester_miester> b0xii, you got that the wrong way around
[08:37] <decay> supoib, sorry just read your messages. Connection stopped for a bit
[08:37] <shiester_miester> b0xii, you meant to say: ati's support for linux
[08:37] <z0rz> alexin: Try sh /etc/make.conf
[08:37] <shiester_miester> b0xii, its not ubuntu's fault that ATI is lazy
[08:38] <decay> supoib, do you mind if i PM you?
[08:38] <alexin> i don't believe so; how can i check? (ive only been on ubuntu for a few hours here) .. ive just been configuring the gui
[08:38] <shiester_miester> if they refuse to write proper driver's, there isn't a whole lot anyone can do
[08:38] <arooni> folks; i was trying to install yahoo messenger but i couldnt... it said i needed: 'libssl 0.9.6'... (i was installing from a .deb package that i think was originally for debian)..... how do i get this libssl package for ubuntu?
[08:38] <shiester_miester> *drivers
[08:38] <alexin> okay. ill try the sh /..
[08:38] <kazim59> hey ppl... debian 4 offers a 3-DVD distro that has got sooo many packages... i've been using ubuntu for 2 years.. I wanted my college lab. pcs to get installed ubuntu.. but they are gonna install debian... how do I convince them?
[08:38] <narg> alexin: open a terminal and do: 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'
[08:38] <shiester_miester> kazim59, does it really matter? the fact that they are installing linux is good enough imho.  debian isn't that bad
[08:39] <decay> supoib, i only got the last message of yours =(
[08:39] <nj786> shiester_miester u mind walking me through this windows game through wine?
[08:39] <b0xii> shiester_miester: true, ati has to be the *worst* graphic company w/ linux support
[08:39] <shiester_miester> nj786, depends which game
[08:39] <shiester_miester> b0xii, yep, i agree
[08:39] <kazim59> shiester_miester: we convinced them that rpm is an hell.. so now they are switching from fedora to debian
[08:39] <z0rz> alexin: Also check the spelling of your CFLAGS
[08:39] <nj786> shiester_miester: http://www.onlypoolgames.com/
[08:39] <b0xii> shiester_miester: they used to be good like 8 years ago
[08:39] <nj786> shiester_miester: 1st one
[08:39] <alexin> is build-essential required for all packages?
[08:39] <shiester_miester> nj786, go and download soldat, www.soldat.pl.  It's awesome
[08:39] <arooni> hwo do i fix thiws: E: Couldn't find package libssl0.9.6
[08:40] <Flannel> alexin: build-essential is all of the required to compile
[08:40] <narg> alexin: compiling anything without it is annoying
[08:40] <kazim59> shiester_miester: ubuntu got a friendly feeling debian lacks ... :(
[08:40] <Flannel> alexin: components.  Mhmm.
[08:40] <z0rz> alexin: What version of gcc are you using?
[08:40] <shiester_miester> nj786, you mean you want me to install it for you or something?
[08:40] <nj786> shiester_miester: the file is .exe how do i run it?
[08:40] <shiester_miester> nj786, probably better if you actually learned how to use wine
[08:40] <shiester_miester> nj786, go to #winehq, they can help you with that
[08:40] <alexin> umm i think the first one.. i saw it somewhere..
[08:40] <shiester_miester> nj786, also, read the wine documentation
[08:40] <nj786> shiester_miester: yes, as in can u walk me through
[08:40] <dashgr> rexy_: hey i have alsamixer and my sound card is being read but i still have no sound
[08:40] <shiester_miester> nj786, don't be lazy :P
[08:40] <b0xii> wow hdparm was not automatically activated in my Gibbon Alpha 5 cd
[08:40] <dashgr> b0xii: hey i have alsamixer and my sound card is being read but i still have no sound
[08:40] <nj786> shiester_miester: im a visual learner lol
[08:41] <Flannel> b0xii: #ubuntu+1 for Gutsy support, thanks
[08:41] <shiester_miester> nj786, that's a cop-out
[08:41] <z0rz> alexin: gcc -v
[08:41] <shiester_miester> nj786, everyone can learn, even you
[08:41] <nj786> shiester_miester: come on lol
[08:41] <kazim59> is there any multi-dvd compilation of ubuntu that I can download... that has got lots of packages?
[08:41] <nj786> i really wanna play
[08:41] <nj786> lol
[08:41] <kazim59> coz ubuntu dvd isn't just enough...
[08:41] <shiester_miester> so go and find out how to
[08:41] <Flannel> kazim59: If you want, use AptOnCD to download the entire repos.
[08:42] <alexin>  'sudo apt-get install build-essential' seems to be working
[08:42] <alexin> or atleast didnt give me errors
[08:42] <shiester_miester> nj786, sorry but I don't have time to hold your hand so you don't have to bother learning how to use linux :P
[08:42] <shiester_miester> and, I have to go
[08:42] <shiester_miester> cya everyone
[08:42] <z0rz> alexin: heh.. yeah that is normally it.. but I was trying the more technically approach
[08:43] <b0xii> dashgr: sorry chap, but i'm a bit busy atm
[08:43] <nj786> shiester_miester: lol if u show me this i wont have to ask u how to use win using a .exe file
[08:43] <b0xii> wish i could help all of you
[08:43] <b0xii> dealing w/ alpha5 issues of my own atm
[08:43] <Flannel> nj786: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine
[08:43] <alexin> i havent tried the "Try sh /etc/make.conf" but now im just back at  "root@XP2500:/home/alexin/Downloads/fuse-2.7.0#
[08:43] <alexin> "
[08:43] <Olgem> How do I execute a command in a terminal without it taking up the terminal itself, allowing me to close it without killing whatever I'm running?
[08:43] <alexin> can i just continue with a regular ./continue?
[08:43] <dashgr> b0xii: thats ok
[08:44] <Flannel> alexin: Why are you trying to install fuse?
[08:44] <alexin> i mean.  configure
[08:44] <mattg> fresh install, how do i change permissions so i can read/write on sdb1?
[08:44] <vladuz976> sony vaio VGN-c71b centrino duo, i only get barely an hour of battery life and sleep mode doesn't work, what can I do?
[08:44] <alexin> to use ntfs-3g
[08:44] <b0xii> signing off from lappy onto new alpha5 desktop...brb
[08:44] <Flannel> alexin: You don't need to compile anything.  Just install ntfs-config, and then go to the config option i nyour system menu
[08:44] <Flannel> Olgem: just use alt-f2
[08:46] <alexin> oh, heh i was getting the package and files from the website
[08:46] <alexin> but the build-essential did get that working part working though, thank you!
[08:46] <Flannel> alexin: Right.  Don't do that.  First place you should look is the repos, and then only if it's not there do you get creative.
[08:47] <dashgr> hey guys, anyone know how i can get sound?
[08:47] <decay> supoib, ?
[08:47] <alexin> I have a dual boot windows system you see, my friend took only linux for about 4 days before he gave in back to windows, not only most of my Enginerring software is for windows (and i know windows well haha).
[08:47] <alexin> i hopeing to go more than 4 days
[08:48] <eubey-tablet> what you mean dashgr

[08:51] <eubey-tablet> try changing the sound driver in settings-soundsi think
[08:51] <sauvin> Volume problem?
[08:52] <cristi01> uhm yeah at it's max is still barely hearabla
[08:52] <cristi01> hearable*
[08:52] <dashgr> eubey-tablet how do i get there?
[08:52] <sauvin> I just had one myself. Damndest thing... I had NO sound until I fired up mplayer and turned up the volume there.
[08:52] <pai> i want to see my friends on Yahoo! Webchat.... what program should I use?
[08:52] <sauvin> cristi01, do you have kmix installed?
[08:52] <sauvin> And what are you trying to hear?
[08:52] <eubey-tablet> dashgr my only gu3ss is that something random is muted so in th3 mixer show all the devices and turn allvolumes up
[08:52] <cristi01> sauvin: uhm i don't know let me see
[08:53] <sauvin> If not, there ARE other mixers if you don't want to deal with KDE components.
[08:53] <dashgr> eubey-tablet how do i show all the devices
[08:53] <mojojojo_> is it possible to decrease cpu speed in Ubuntu?  I have laptop and Dual 2 Codre
[08:53] <mojojojo_> Core*
[08:53] <cristi01> sauvin: nope
[08:53] <rexy_> frequency scaling mojojojo_ should be on by default
[08:53] <sauvin> Kk, cristi01, um... how about alsa-mixer?
[08:54] <mojojojo_> or... Is it possible to switch to other laptop mode which would be more energy saving?
[08:54] <mojojojo_> rexy_:  where can I set it?
[08:54] <sauvin> I'm sorry, cristi01, that'd be alsamixer
[08:54] <rexy_> if you have turned it on in the bios the frequency scaling will automaticly scale down when it can
[08:54] <mojojojo_> rexy_:  i see...
[08:54] <rexy_> you can add the frequencey applet to your toolbar to see if it's scaling
[08:54] <eubey-tablet> dashgr i think its innoneof theoptions in te sound mixer, i cant r3member i'm onnan xp machine righ4 now
[08:55] <mojojojo_> rexy_:  which applet?
[08:55] <rexy_> right click on your taskbar, select add applet and then look for an applet with frequency stuff in it's name
[08:55] <rexy_> it's under system something
[08:55] <rjh> does anyone know how to: cd to the dir of the program, then 'wine program.exe'
[08:55] <cristi01> sauvin: i am installing kmix now
[08:56] <Flannel> rjh: do exactly what it says.
[08:56] <supoib> rjh: do you know where you installed the program from windows perspective?
[08:57] <supoib> i.e. c:\program files\blahblah
[08:57] <rjh> ya c drive
[08:57] <rjh> ok
[08:57] <sauvin> Damnit, I didn't want you to have to download crap that uses KDE components if you're not running KDE :\
[08:57] <supoib> so it's c:\program.exe?
[08:57] <cristi01> sauvin: ok i installed kmix
[08:57] <orca> hello, quelqu'un speek french?
[08:58] <doug_> when is et something up for the mouse to move it or something how do i put it that way say for the cube to move it how do i put it for the left and right mouse buttons to move
[08:58] <sauvin> !fr
[08:58] <Adlai> orca: un petit peu

[08:58] <hagabaka> rjh: wine's c drive is in ~/.wine/drive_c/
[08:58] <sauvin> cristi01, now that you've installed kmix, fire it up and make sure PCM is turned up.
[08:59] <cristi01> sauvin: bless you
[08:59] <cristi01> sauvin:it works
[08:59] <bullgard4> What is the result of a printk statement? See for example in http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/14154/

[08:59] <sauvin> Orca, t'es certain ce serait sur ce net-ci?
[09:00] <Al2O3> hello, I'm new to ubuntu, but not linux or hosting my own domain.  I have though not been online with a domain for some time.  What registry sucks the least at this point...?  Suggestions are welcomed.
[09:01] <mojojojo_> rexy_:  hmm.. well... it scales down to 59%... 1GHz fore one core and probably the same for the other core... but... i think it's still too much considering I'm sometimes just surfing the web...
[09:01] <mojojojo_> or talking on the irc :)
[09:01] <supoib> Al2O3: they have a few suggestions here: http://nodaddy.com/
[09:01] <Adlai> orca: je ne l'ai jamais entendu, dommage
[09:01] <orca> Sauvin, je viens d'installer Ubuntu et avant j'avais XP, je ne connais pas encore ce prog, alors je cherche!!

[09:03] <b0xii> wow alpha 5 completely b0rked my keyboard
[09:03] <rexy_> mojojojo_: i think the scaling is set in the bios

[09:04] <rjh>  and my brain is been cooking for a while
[09:04] <doug_> i have an update named compiz-core i install it through the auto update but it keeps poping up for me to install it
[09:04] <cristi01> so can anyone help me with the flashplayer installer ?
[09:04] <rexy_> not sure on that one though
[09:04] <chuy_max> god, I'm installing ubuntu on my laptop, waited for over 10mins and it's stuck at 6%

[09:04] <chuy_max> I remember my desktop box delaying like for 3 mins or something, but not 10 MINS
[09:04] <bullgard4> chuy_max: no.
[09:04] <b0xii> chuy_max what version?  the alphas take 10x as long
[09:04] <Flannel> chuy_max: Are you using the alternate CD?
[09:04] <Lappy> doug_: I had the same problem, did you try to install compiz-fusion while already having compiz earlier?
[09:04] <Adlai> orca: #ubuntu-fr, not #ubuntu.fr
[09:04] <Adlai> err
[09:04] <rexy_> mojojojo_: dont forget, you are running probably a laptop with a nice video card and 1gb of ram and a 7200 rpm hd
[09:04] <chuy_max> yeah, alternate CD, feisty
[09:05] <doug_> yes lappy
[09:05] <Flannel> chuy_max: LVM?
[09:05] <Adlai> pas #ubuntu.fr
[09:05] <rexy_> those thinks suck juice like there is no other
[09:05] <doug_> it still pops up lappy
[09:05] <rexy_> you can turn down the backlight to save more energy
[09:05] <Lappy> doug_: uninstall compiz, and install it fresh.
[09:05] <chuy_max> Flannel, no, standard partitioning
[09:05] <doug_> lappy will that mess up fusion?
[09:05] <Lappy> doug_: this is what I did, and it worked cleanly.
[09:05] <sauvin> Orca, veuilles me joindre sur #ubuntu-fr, PAS #ubuntu.fr, d'acc?
[09:05] <cristi01> when i try to install flash player it says ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the
[09:05] <cristi01>        Adobe Flash Player installer.
[09:05] <Lappy> doug_: remove fusion as well, remove everything compiz-related, and re-install compiz-fusion.
[09:06] <Flannel> chuy_max: Did you verify the CD?  bad packages do that (although, they'll eventualy fail)
[09:06] <cristi01> can anyone help me with an install?
[09:06] <doug_> ugh ok thanks lappy
[09:06] <Lappy> doug_: no worries.
[09:06] <mojojojo_> rexy_:  it's not that nice :D
[09:06] <ziroday> cristi01: you cant install flash in that architecture
[09:06] <Flannel> !flash64 | cristi01
[09:06] <ubotu> cristi01: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[09:06] <Flannel> ziroday: you can too.
[09:06] <orca> ok Sauvin je le fait attend revien ok merci ;-)
[09:06] <doug_> uh wait lappy one small prob
[09:06] <sauvin> cristi01, I think you may find that 64-bit *nix is going to be a bit frustrating for a while. It's NEW and not thrillingly well supported yet :\
[09:06] <cristi01> flannel: thanks
[09:06] <Lappy> doug_: yes?
[09:07] <ziroday> oh woops sorry was thinking about something else
[09:07] <doug_> i lost and forgot to book mark the site i used to install fusion lappy all i member is it was from ubuntu and it was the compiz and beryl mixed one
[09:07] <mojojojo_> rexy_:  I wonder how will it influence energy saving when the magnetic HDs will be no longer put in laptops
[09:07] <decay> cristi01, are you using 64bit linux?
[09:07] <Flannel> sauvin: it's hardly new.  And it's fully supported by everything Free.  Only thing that anyone would ever have problems with is closed source stuff.  Exemplifying one issue with closed source.
[09:07] <b0xii> wow, just checked my web stats and there's more safari users than firefox users
[09:08] <cristi01> decay: yes i am
[09:08] <Lappy> doug_: I dont have it bookmarked either... am sorry.
[09:08] <doug_> and all others i used lappy would crash this one so far hasnt
[09:08] <rexy_> mojojojo_: well depends on the use really, flash disk require significant energy to write afaik. but they should be an improvement
[09:08] <sauvin> Flannel, it's relatively new, and while I really don't doubt opensource supports it well, it's precisely these kinds of things that can be so frustrating.
[09:08] <decay> cristi01, there are issues with flash and 64bit linux distros.
[09:08] <rexy_> for laptops however the big energy suckers are your cpu, screen and wireless
[09:08] <decay> cristi01, they do work well on 32bit though :)
[09:08] <doug_> well not ur fault lappy u done nothing wrong
[09:08] <chuy_max> Flannel, I guess I just have an old PC =(, it delayed more than 10 mins in 6%, P3 @ 1Ghz
[09:08] <doug_> btw cute name lappy
[09:08] <b0xii> cristi01: shy away from the 64bit distros for a while until all the kinks get worked out
[09:09] <cristi01> b0xii: hmmm so what do i do meanwhile?
[09:09] <Flannel> chuy_max: Are you sure the CD is good?  It can't hurt to restart right now (well, except the lost time), if you want to reboot and verify the CD
[09:09] <b0xii> cristi01:  i know these things shoud've been taken care of a loooong time ago, but i've had an AMD 5000+ that I still cant use for 1.5 yrs on a 64 bit linux platform
[09:10] <dashgr> rexy_: oh rexy, welcome back...still having some sound problems
[09:10] <Lappy> doug_: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Compiz-Fusion-on-Ubuntu-58113.shtml try this one out maybe?
[09:10] <cristi01> b0xii: lol :)))
[09:10] <b0xii> cristi01: install x86 version
[09:10] <Lappy> doug_: thanks. :)
[09:10] <chuy_max> Flannel, yeah, I installed my desktop PC with the same CD a month ago, checked it at the time, it's not scratched
[09:10] <cristi01> b0xii: ok installing it now
[09:11] <b0xii> cristi01, it will work just as well unless you have 4+GB ram
[09:11] <rexy_> mojojojo_: have a browse on the ubuntu forum about frequency scaling maybe you are able to get it down a bit
[09:11] <Flannel> chuy_max: well, Go do something else, have some tea or something, and then come back and see if it's changed.
[09:11] <doug_> lappy yw and oh oh oh nonono lappy bad one it cashed me few times lol
[09:11] <b0xii> that's when the 64bit shit kicks in
[09:11] <rexy_> dashgr: you dont have any sound at all?
[09:11] <dashgr> rexy_: yea no sound at all
[09:11] <mojojojo_> rexy_:  ok, I'll do that
[09:11] <xor> 1
[09:11] <xor> ls
[09:12] <rexy_> dashgr: have you checked your card is supported?
[09:12] <rexy_> !sound
[09:12] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[09:12] <matti> Morning :)
[09:12] <dashgr> rexy_: i believe my card is supported because i used to have sound when turning on and turning off my computer
[09:12] <dashgr> rexy_: and when i check alsa it reads my card as it is
[09:13] <rexy_> hmm that would mean your sound works, but that you dont have sound with a particular app
[09:13] <rexy_> if you restart now do you have sound?
[09:13] <Lappy> doug_: well good luck, I think you can ask in #compiz-fusion
[09:13] <cristi01> b0xii: well it still doesn't work ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the
[09:13] <cristi01>        Adobe Flash Player installer.
[09:13] <cristi01> god damn it
[09:14] <z0rz> Hmm
[09:14] <rexy_> that makes sense, since there is no 64 bit version ?
[09:14] <b0xii> cristi01: no, reinstall w/ a x86 version of ubuntu
[09:14] <Al2O3> wow, reading about one or two or more people's horror stories about godaddy.com I will not use them for sure.
[09:14] <z0rz> Everytime I try to play a mp3 in mpg123 it gives me "[../../../src/audio.c:264]  error: No supported rate found!"
[09:14] <b0xii> cristi01, or else you'll run into other problems like the flash under x64
[09:14] <rexy_> Al203 you get what you pay for, also #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:14] <Al2O3> have to admin, the go daddy juggs are nice and milky cold.
[09:14] <dashgr> rexy_: yea i tried restarting but no sound
[09:15] <Al2O3> rexy_: thanks.
[09:15] <cristi01> boxii: oooooh right...
[09:15] <rexy_> did you checl all your sliders dash?
[09:15] <b0xii> flash is not yet supported under x64
[09:15] <b0xii> its gay i know
[09:15] <Al2O3> just joined #ubu-oft
[09:15] <rexy_> if you had sound on startup/shutdown it has worked
[09:15] <cristi01> jesus..
[09:15] <cristi01> lucky me
[09:15] <dashgr> rexy_: how can i check my "sliders"
[09:15] <rexy_> check the sound icon
[09:15] <cristi01> b0xii: thanks a lot anyway
[09:15] <dashgr> rexy_: sorry i dont know wat sliders are =(
[09:16] <dashgr> rexy_: my sound icon says there's sound available
[09:16] <rexy_> click on it and look at the slider
[09:16] <cristi01> bye
[09:16] <dashgr> rexy_: it's at 72%
[09:18] <rexy_> dashgr: right click on the sound icon and select volume control
[09:18] <rexy_> you see a bunch of sliders?
[09:18] <hypodyne> gday all
[09:18] <dashgr> rexy_: yea they're all up
[09:19] <rexy_> do master or pcm have a red X?
[09:19] <hypodyne> how do I update gaim?
[09:19] <dashgr> rexy_: no there's no red x
[09:19] <xor> anyone know if items on deleted from xfce's desktop can go to ~/.Trash instead of trash:///
[09:20] <rexy_> start a terminal and type ps ufax | grep esd
[09:20] <rexy_> should print a line or two/three
[09:20] <rexy_> it's a pipe sign |
[09:20] <dashgr> ok

[09:21] <rexy_> but ok, esd is running
[09:21] <rexy_> start totem
[09:22] <dashgr> ok
[09:22] <rexy_> and open up the Examples directory in your home dir and open Experience obuntu.ogg
[09:22] <bullgard4> English help wanted: Is there a difference between 'to print' and 'to print out' as in "a function that prints out a message, during bootup"?
[09:22] <rexy_> Is it playing?
[09:22] <HelpMe> Hello, whenever I play video on my Ubuntu Laptop, the video is kinda choppy, like when a camera is moving side to side it gets anoying because it looks choppy, how do i fix this?
[09:22] <z0rz> Everytime I try to play a mp3 in mpg123 it gives me "[../../../src/audio.c:264]  error: No supported rate found!".  Anyone know how to fix this?  (happens on both my ubuntu boxes)
[09:22] <Flannel> bullgard4: no
[09:23] <sauvin> "print out" is often taken to mean "to the printer".
[09:23] <bullgard4> Flannel: Understood.
[09:23] <rexy_> z0rz: restricted formats perhaps
[09:23] <rexy_> !restricted > z0rz
[09:23] <z0rz> Ah!
[09:23] <z0rz> Haha yes they are
[09:23] <z0rz> Damn mp3!!
[09:23] <dashgr> rexy_: it's playing but there's no sound
[09:23] <sauvin> mp3 is restricted?
[09:23] <rexy_> yep
[09:24] <rexy_> dashgr: click on the sound icon in totem
[09:24] <rexy_> what is the slider at?
[09:24] <T-Doomday> Need help please. I get a error on this. ./configure --prefix=/home/mitchell/Programs/Wine --target make depend && make && sudo make install
[09:24] <dashgr> about 75%
[09:24] <arooni> folks
[09:25] <dashgr> rexy_:about 75%
[09:25] <arooni> i need to wipe my laptop because i'm returning it tomorrow.... what should i use to do this?
[09:25] <rexy_> dashgr: are you sure you sound is connected properly?
[09:25] <rexy_> arooni if you are not paranoid a simple format would do the trick
[09:25] <faileas> arooni: wipe it totally? how about boot and nuke?
[09:25] <dashgr> rexy_: i'm not sure, how can i check? I think it's correctly correctly
[09:25] <arooni> faileas, what do u mean boot & nuke?
[09:26] <arooni> rexy_, simple format writes 0's ?
[09:26] <faileas> arooni: its a livecd darik's boot and nuke
[09:26] <rexy_> dashgr:  i have no idea how you should wire up your computer, check your manual how to connect the cables
[09:26] <arooni> faileas, ooooh cool
[09:26] <rexy_> arooni: format just erases the inode tables
[09:26] <rexy_> it doesnt erase the data
[09:26] <arooni> faileas, how long does that take?
[09:26] <arooni> for a 100 gb drive?
[09:26] <rexy_> but it requires some effort to get back
[09:26] <dashgr> rexy_: i'm on a laptop
[09:26] <faileas> arooni: takes a while
[09:26] <bullgard4> sauvin: Thank you for explaining.
[09:27] <rexy_> do you have a sound control on the laptop desh, a slider of sorts?
[09:27] <sauvin> Depends on who's making the effort. The crime lab at Quantico probably wouldn't even notice a few missing inodes.
[09:27] <arooni> faileas, would it be done overnight?
[09:27] <faileas> arooni: probably. depends on how many passes
[09:27] <dashgr> rexy_: it conrols the master sound and wheni adjust is raises or lowers the master
[09:27] <dashgr> rexy_: and i raised it to max
[09:27] <arooni> faileas, can i do it for certain partitions
[09:28] <arooni> faileas, i want the laptop to still boot to windows tomorrow
[09:28] <rexy_> !sound > me
[09:28] <arooni> so they can verify it works
[09:28] <z0rz> Bah humbug!
[09:28] <faileas> arooni: i can't remember, check it?
[09:28] <arooni> and so i just want to blow away my linux partitions
[09:28] <z0rz> Rexy I went to that page, but I accidently skipped passed the 7.04 instructions and went straight to the 6.10 instructions and did them.
[09:28] <sauvin> So, blast 'em, delete 'em and use gparted or something to expand the Windows partition to the entire drive.
[09:28] <faileas> arooni: if its just a partition, you could probably run secure delete from windows... its meant for files but would work
[09:29] <sauvin> Why do you want the linux partitions gone?
[09:29] <Geoffrey2> if I'm trying to block ads, etc in my web browser, the addresses go in /etc/hosts?
[09:29] <rexy_> Geoffrey2: that will work yes
[09:29] <arooni> sauvin, cuz i'm returning my laptop tomorrow...and if they boot to see if it works when i return it... i want them to see windows
[09:29] <rexy_> dashgr: then i dont know, it should work really
[09:30] <sauvin> So set grub to launch Windows automatically.
[09:30] <dashgr> rexy_: thats ok, thanks for trying
[09:30] <rexy_> arooni just remaster it with your windows disks then?
[09:30] <arooni> yah i guess i could rexy_ y
[09:30] <rexy_> dashgr: if you had sound at startup you could try a reinstall, obviously something is messed up, but if the startup sound works then your card is supported
[09:31] <rexy_> arooni: unless you are really paranoid about people retrieving data from your disk there is not much to worry about, a simple reinstall of windows will make retrieving any data on it pretty hard. Off course if you have materials on there you wouldn't want to end up on the internet erasing isnt a bad idea
[09:34] <Flannel> arooni: shred
[09:35] <Geoffrey2> rexy_, with the only hitch being that I get Unable to Connect messages where the ads used to be....minor annoyance I guess...at least my browser isn't locking up now
[09:35] <mattg> hey, where do i get vmware from?
[09:36] <supoib> does anyone have any experience with sending sms messages to a phone from ubuntu?
[09:37] <Dougie> I used gparted to resize my file partition...and i think it screwed it up i can't seem to mount the drive
[09:37] <rexy_> Geoffrey2: well you can use the adblock plugin for firefox
[09:37] <rexy_> supoib: try gnoki
[09:37] <rexy_> it interfaces with a nokia to send sms messages
[09:38] <rexy_> if you mean websites i'm sure there is an applet that interfaces with one of them, google will tell you
[09:38] <mojojojo_> How can I check which frequencies my cpu provides?
[09:38] <figjam> morning chaps
[09:38] <Dougie> mojojojo, not really anything to do with your OS but what cpu do you have?
[09:39] <rexy_> mojojojo_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248867 it's a bit outdated but some usefull information in there
[09:39] <jscinoz> is it just me or is sound from OSS very tinny?
[09:40] <Dougie> whats wrong with ALSA?
[09:40] <supoib> rexy_: thanks for the suggestion, but from the looks of it it's only for nokia phones
[09:40] <rexy_> supoib: think so, there are some other apps for it too,been awhile since i played with it. i'm sure google will turn up a program which is already in the ubuntu repo
[09:41] <supoib> yea, i've been looking at smssend
[09:41] <jscinoz> the .10 kernel killed ALSA :P
[09:41] <supoib> the attwireless script doesn't work
[09:41] <supoib> and no updates to it
[09:42] <rexy_> supoib: i guess there isnt much demand for it
[09:42] <IAmWill> i am trying to pull emerald, but it depends on libwnck18 which isnt installable. How do I make libwnck18 installable so I can get emerald?
[09:42] <jscinoz> anyone know how to pair a new bluetooth device via bluetooth-applet?
[09:42] <supoib> rexy_: seems that way.
[09:43] <supoib> rexy_: but that's the beauty of open source, i can take a look at the app and see if i can write my own script
[09:44] <rexy_> yeah, but honestly why would you want to since you can use free sms services on the web
[09:44] <jscinoz> How can i pair a bluetooth device to my laptop via blue-tooth applet?
[09:44] <supoib> i need to automate this
[09:44] <supoib> for a cron job or whatever
[09:45] <decay> supoib, hi
[09:45] <supoib> hi
[09:45] <supoib> or if i'm away from the computer and have a long job running, i'd like to know when it's done or what-have-you
[09:46] <supoib> i can think of a myriad of applications of this
[09:46] <mojojojo_> rexy_:  yeah, I visited this link beforehand, but I can't seem to find any information which frequencies are available on my laptop... from what I found managed to read there are 3 frequencies among which 1GHz (which I is currently set) is the lowest... I'm just wondering whether it's a linux matter or is it that hardware only provides only these 3 options...
[09:47] <rexy_> i'd guess hardware mojojojo_
[09:47] <faileas> mojojojo_: as i understand. yeah, there's only 3 levels for freqency
[09:47] <rexy_> scaling down frequency has a big impact though
[09:48] <binMonkey> i keep hearing about how bad ndiswrapper is.  can i use madwifi for bm4318 cards.
[09:48] <rexy_> and your processor will idle as much as it can itself too
[09:48] <mojojojo_> hmm.. what about turning of one of the cores... is it possible?
[09:48] <mojojojo_> turning off*
[09:49] <rexy_> probably not
[09:50] <binMonkey> should be bcm4318.
[09:50] <rexy_> you can turn of your wifi when you are not online to save energy, and you can use function keys to dim the lcd screen
[09:50] <nathan___> if anyone knows how to install compiz fusion on ubuntu, I could use the help
[09:50] <supoib> rexy_: i have another question, do you know of a free web based sms service?
[09:50] <rexy_> supoib: honestly did you try google before asking?
[09:50] <supoib> yea
[09:51] <supoib> so much junk
[09:51] <r00723r0> i know one off the top of my head
[09:51] <Flannel> binMonkey: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/utils/bcm43xx-fwcutter
[09:51] <r00723r0> supoib: i don't think you did google
[09:51] <nathan___> if anyone knows how to install compiz fusion on ubuntu, I could use the help
[09:51] <r00723r0> "free sms" gives great links
[09:52] <r00723r0> http://www.sendsmsnow.com/
[09:52] <ThanatosDrive> nathan__: #ubuntu-effects
[09:52] <binMonkey> Flannel: thanks.  i tried that one before but it kept dropping on me.  so far ndiswrapper works for me but i wonder if there's something better out there.
[09:52] <nathan___> no one in there
[09:52] <supoib> too bad they append spam to the end of the message
[09:53] <Evan_> can anybody help me with my wireless prob. i seem to be connected to the network but i cant acess the net
[09:53] <supoib> Evan_: do you have encryption on your wireless?
[09:53] <pike_> Evan_: can you ping the router?
[09:54] <ashu18> what's a monitor sync problem?
[09:54] <Evan_> im i have a encryped password but i got entered that and am connected to the network
[09:54] <Evan_> how do i ping the router?
[09:54] <ThanatosDrive> nathan__: Well, that can't be right, beause I'm in there, and I see 72 other people in there.
[09:55] <pike_> Evan_: wep or wpa?
[09:55] <decay> your sync rates are wrong
[09:55] <decay> eithe vertical or horizontal, or both
[09:55] <Evan_> pike_wep
[09:55] <ashu18> my ubuntu splash screen isn't showing up and the display is a bit weird too
[09:56] <supoib> Evan_: i'd suggest you first turn off the encryption and verify that works
[09:56] <jscinoz> How can i pair a new device using bluetooth-applet
[09:56] <ashu18> it happened after i swapped my standby motherboard with my original one
[09:56] <pike_> Evan_: so basiaclly youre doing 1) sudo iwconfig eth1 essid someroutername key 12345567 2) sudo dhclient eth1  and getting an ip address?
[09:56] <rexy_> !bluetooth
[09:56] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[09:57] <Evan_> well ubuntu says i am connected at 84% strength i have like steps telling me the strength not two computers
[09:57] <pike_> Evan_: really mac filtering is not broadcasting ssid is about as secure as adding wep into the mix. its so easy to crack
[09:57] <pike_> is/and
[09:58] <Evan_> my router said when i added the wep that ssid would be turnt off
[09:58] <binMonkey> is madwifi for atheros chipsets only or can i use it with bcm4318 also?
[09:59] <rexy_> !wifi > binMonkey
[09:59] <rexy_> there is a link in there as well specific for that chipset i believe
[10:00] <binMonkey> rexy_: a link in where?
[10:00] <rexy_> !wifi

[10:01] <paines> hi

[10:01] <binMonkey> rexy_: i just googled !wifi and notwifi and found nothing.  what am i not understanding?
[10:01] <rexy_> !wifi
[10:01] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

[10:02] <binMonkey> !wifi
[10:02] <Evan_> i think its a expresscard
[10:02] <rexy_> oh it's private, sorry thought it would be sent here
[10:02] <binMonkey> rexy_: what does that mean?
[10:02] <mojojojo_> rexy_:  I found neat console utility... cpufreq-selector... you can choose CPU governor.. it's quite comfortable...
[10:02] <nathan___> if anyone knows how to install compiz fusion on ubuntu, I could use the help
[10:02] <djs_2_6> Hey all.  What is the name of the app that sits by the clock that deals with wireless connections?
[10:02] <binMonkey> nm-applet

[10:03] <root> hi
[10:03] <paines> can i install a specific wine version via apt? cause apt-get will pull the latest version, but I need an older version like 0.9.40~winehq0~ubuntu~7.04-1 instead of 0.9.43~winehq0~ubuntu~7.04-1
[10:03] <rexy_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs just go there binMonkey , it should link to a page specific for your card
[10:03] <rexy_>  the ! thing is just a control for the bot in this channel to pump it for information
[10:04] <Till__> hi i have ubuntu 7.10 and i cant creat ne fils with right click new file empty file. why doesn't this work?
[10:04] <supoib> nathan__: type glxinfo | grep rendering in console. what does it say?
[10:04] <binMonkey> will someone tell me what !wifi means, please?  maybe i'm just not hip to the irc lingo.
[10:04] <pike_> Evan_: id disable wep on the router. you can always enable it later.  sorry im not going to be alot of help right now
[10:04] <nathan___> yes
[10:04] <Euphidime> I have a quick question relating to mouse problems, it isn't terribly important. I have a standard two button USB mouse with a scroll wheel. Scrolling with the wheel works fine, but clicking with it doesn't. Usually I click with the scroll wheel to open/close tabs in Firefox, which is why it's really bothering me that it's not working. Any suggestions?
[10:04] <rexy_> binMonkey: it just controls a bot in this channel
[10:04] <binMonkey> !
[10:04] <Evan_> im not quite sure how to turn the wep off
[10:04] <rexy_> check the link i pasted and go from there to get wifi working
[10:05] <binMonkey> rexy_: sorry, but how do i use it?
[10:05] <ziroday> !welcome | binMonkey
[10:05] <ubotu> binMonkey: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel.

[10:05] <supoib> nathan__: did you read any of their docs?
[10:05] <TIARA> halo
[10:05] <binMonkey> !wifi | binMonkey
[10:05] <rexy_> there that link is where you can find information about setting up wifi
[10:05] <ziroday> binMonkey: you have to have a word after it like !welcome or !bot to use it
[10:05] <nathan___> yes and I've tried 2 different sources and also an automated script
[10:05] <ziroday> !bot > binMonkey
[10:05] <m0u5e> anyone know why flash is so incredibly slow on ubuntu?
[10:06] <rexy_> m0u5e: what kind of computer?
[10:06] <m0u5e> i have the adobe-flash plugin installed, but its just incredibly slow
[10:06] <nathan___> so freaking hard to install one damn program =/
[10:06] <m0u5e> rexy_: 2.8ghz p4 intel i845
[10:06] <binMonkey> !bot > binMonkey
[10:06] <rexy_> hmm odd
[10:06] <m0u5e> rexy_: 512mb ram
[10:06] <m0u5e> rexy_ yeah... is there a setting somewhere i can change about flash?
[10:06] <pike_> Euphidime: you could always do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  but unless you know a bit about what youre doing you might be worse off afterwards.
[10:06] <rexy_> dunno m0u5e, did you try googling for flash ubuntu problems?
[10:06] <ziroday> nathan__its really easy use trveniho repos and just sudo apt-get then correct pacakges
[10:07] <m0u5e> rexy_: yeah, i dont see any ones which are similar... so i wonder if its something with my configs?
[10:07] <nathan___> I keep running into trouble with that
[10:07] <nathan___> it is the buggiest program ever possibly
[10:07] <rexy_> m0u5e: honestly your guess is as good as mine
[10:07] <rexy_> nathan__ what are you trying to install?
[10:07] <Will> Hi, I'm running Xubuntu, but I have done an alternative install, so I'm at the terminal. I did "sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop" and it installed it, however, what is the command to boot the desktop up?

[10:10] <rexy_> Till__: are you running gutsy? also check if your disk is full, also if you're new better just install feisty
[10:10] <binMonkey> rexy_: and ziro, thanks.  where can i learn more about how to use the bot stuff?
[10:10] <rexy_> m0u5e: maybe if it's using 3d stuff, you could try installing the binary drivers
[10:10] <thyko> hello all

[10:14] <CupidWolf> oooh
[10:14] <CupidWolf> yeah sure
[10:14] <CupidWolf> you're right !
[10:14] <CupidWolf> thanks :)
[10:15] <supoib> sure
[10:15] <doug_> rexy do i load the live cd first via boot mode or ?
[10:15] <rexy_> you boot the live cd, then click on your harddisk, and remove everything bar the home dir, then when you are asked to partition you select the manual option, and then configure the partitions and toggle the format option
[10:15] <doug_> ok thanks rexy
[10:16] <rexy_> be sure to do manual partitioning and setting the partitions such that the format is disabled
[10:16] <rexy_> automatic will just format the disk
[10:17] <halfbloodprince> Hey people.. i just burned the ubuntu ISO image to CD using K3B.. the image seems to have burned properly, but it's not booting from the CD. My bios is set to boot from CD though.. any ideas?
[10:17] <rexy_> does it boot straight to something else halfbloodprince?
[10:18] <rexy_> /ignore joins
[10:18] <Lappy> how can I find out the macaddress of an IP address?
[10:18] <rexy_> err that didnt work, heh
[10:18] <halfbloodprince> rexy_ right now, i have a dual boot system installed. windows xp and kubuntu, i'm repartitioning my hard drive and want to install ubuntu in place of kubuntu. when i start the computer, it opens GRUB as usual, doesn't boot from the CD
[10:18] <rexy_> on your local adress lappy  arp -a
[10:19] <Lappy> rexy_: that will tell me everything or just my pc?
[10:19] <rexy_> well halfbloodprince either the iso is burned wrong, your cd is broken, or your not booting the cd iso first
[10:19] <halfbloodprince> i thought k3b would burn it as a bootable CD?
[10:19] <rexy_> Lappy: all mac adresses on the local network that your machine currently sees
[10:20] <xor> burn it at a slow speed
[10:20] <xor> like 4sx
[10:20] <Lappy> hmm... rexy_ so any pingable address?
[10:20] <xor> 4x
[10:20] <halfbloodprince> xor: what difference will that make?
[10:20] <Rat409> halfbloodprince: did you md5sum it?
[10:21] <xor> if you burn it too fast data gets corrupted
[10:21] <halfbloodprince> Rat409: yes, the md5sum was proper
[10:21] <xor> works ok for music, etc.. but not operating systems
[10:21] <rexy_> Lappy: well a mac adress does not guarantee it has an ip but ussally yeah
[10:21] <rexy_> you can ping an mac adress, but normal ping should work just as well
[10:21] <halfbloodprince> xor: i burned at the default speed.. the average was 33x I think
[10:21] <rexy_> halfbloodprince: try manually booting the cd using F12
[10:21] <xor> halfbloodprince: if you have a disc to spare, try it at 4x.. or at least 8x
[10:22] <rexy_> in the bios
[10:22] <xor> halfbloodprince: but make sure you're directing the BIOS to boot from cd
[10:22] <halfbloodprince> rexy_: so when the computer starts i should press f12?
[10:22] <wailer> the live cd should have files on it not an iso
[10:22] <Lappy> rexy_: am on a LAN, and it only showed my own IP, it didn't even show my desktop's IP/macaddress
[10:22] <m0u5e> gar... i wonder if theres a repos for the newest intel i8xx driver set out there?
[10:22] <rexy_> halfbloodprince: just look at the boot screen
[10:22] <rexy_> you can hit the pause button to pause it
[10:23] <rexy_> it will say hit yadda yadda to do boot yadda yadda
[10:23] <dijix> Is it possible to boot from a disk from within a VM?
[10:23] <halfbloodprince> rexy_ ah alright, i'll try that
[10:23] <halfbloodprince> rexy_ thanks :)
[10:23] <rexy_> dijix: some support booting a real partition, most require images though
[10:23] <halfbloodprince> i'll try that and be back
[10:23] <rexy_> Lappy: well maybe it hassnt seen it yet
[10:23] <rexy_> what do you need the mac for?
[10:24] <xor> god i love xubuntu
[10:24] <dijix> rexy_: It would certainly help dual-booters to be able to stay in linux all of the time
[10:24] <Lappy> rexy_: on our LAN/internet, some people use other people's IPs, and when I get an 'IP conflict' I want to know the culprit's mac address so I can tell the ISP about it so they could ban the mac or find out who it is.
[10:25] <rexy_> dijix: well you can just install windows into a vm
[10:25] <New2UbuntuHelp> w00t finally got my stupid Netgear WG511v2 working on ubuntu :D
[10:25] <rexy_> i think vmware does support it, but it might be the server version or a commercial variant
[10:25] <rexy_> New2UbuntuHelp: i have the same, what did you use?
[10:25] <xor> virtualbox might
[10:26] <dijix> rexy: Hrmm.. that would work, too.

[10:41] <nathan> I don't see my video card in there

[10:44] <[diablo] > thank you
[10:44] <scipio> BlueXero, next time do 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list &' :)
[10:45] <nathan> keep in mind, that this is a fresh install as of this morning, then I ran this script that's supposed to install it automatically, now none of it works at all
[10:45] <nathan> not even the built in one now
[10:45] <BlueXero> ahhh
[10:45] <BlueXero> it didn't work
[10:46] <atari2600a> can someone help me w/ something?
[10:46] <GIn> wow, I like Audacious, it has unicode support! :-)
[10:46] <Jordan_U> nathan, Can you pastebin the output of "compiz --replace & sleep 2 && metacity --replace" ? ( that will start compiz then wait two seconds and go back to metacity so it shouldn't freeze up )
[10:46] <atari2600a> how do you make shortcuts or the equivelant?
[10:46] <BlueXero> man, I cant fix this problem
[10:46] <BlueXero> It keeps coming up with that error
[10:46] <Jordan_U> nathan, Ahh, keep far far away from random scripts
[10:47] <scipio> BlueXero, did you do what Jordan_U suggested?
[10:47] <Jordan_U> nathan, Compiz comes pre-installed with Feisty, so I have no idea what that script did... but it probably wasn't good
[10:47] <nathan> it still froze
[10:47] <CodemasterMM> woah, an op.
[10:48] <Jordan_U> nathan, And it didn't come back after a few seconds ?
[10:48] <nathan> I'll do it to a file on my desktop
[10:48] <Paddy_EIRE> nathan what script.. was it provided by the ubuntuwiki
[10:48] <nathan> nope
[10:48] <nathan> lemme see
[10:49] <BlueXero> ohhh
[10:49] <nathan> this script: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=508769
[10:49] <BlueXero> Thanks sooooo much Jordan_U
[10:49] <Jordan_U> BlueBird, np :)
[10:49] <nathan> what was that command again
[10:50] <rexy_> wow lots of banning
[10:50] <tonyyarusso> rexy_: UNbanning :)
[10:50] <rexy_> oh right
[10:50] <Jordan_U> nathan, Ahh, that installs Compiz Fusion, which isn't even Beta yet, it is very unstable
[10:50] <ziroday> ah that makes sense
[10:50] <Paddy_EIRE> hey tonyyarusso got a funny one for ya http://www.wimp.com/windows/
[10:50] <Jordan_U> nathan, You probably want regular Compiz or Beryl which are stable
[10:50] <nathan> I want a cube dezktop and someone told me that's what I need for that and transparency and stuff
[10:50] <goon> thank you rexy_ :)
[10:50] <Paddy_EIRE> nathan you seen how many problems on that thread
[10:50] <Jordan_U> nathan, They were wrong
[10:51] <nathan> you guys are who referred me to them =[
[10:51] <nathan> ok well I'm going back to beryl where i started in the first place...
[10:51] <Paddy_EIRE> nathan as you have a essentially a fresh install just go on and reinstall and try and avoid early beta software
[10:51] <elkbuntu> Paddy_EIRE, ah, like the 'really good edition' spoof?
[10:52] <Paddy_EIRE> elkbuntu: yeah the messages are quite funny
[10:52] <Paddy_EIRE> :D

[10:56] <devesh> how to umount swap
[10:56] <Spee_Der> I'm working on audio problem in Feisty 7.04. Can't find the Sound Blaster LIve  card for some reason.
[10:56] <barbie> swapon -a
[10:57] <jf> you ran alsa conf?
[10:57] <Spee_Der> hmmm
[10:57] <Spee_Der> I'll try that now jf.
[10:57] <Spee_Der> I have the gui for alsa also.
[10:57] <devesh> i have a problem on detecting sound card on debian
[10:57] <devesh> debian 4
[10:57] <devesh> wht to do
[10:57] <Spee_Der> It is seeing both on board sound and the card, but won't send audio to the card.
[10:57] <spiderfire> hi
[10:58] <Spee_Der> hi spider
[10:58] <spiderfire> can the 64bit ubuntu run the 32 bit programs?
[10:58] <GIn> Jordan_U, ls *.mp3 | wc -l. will this work?
[10:58] <Jordan_U> Spee_Der, What is the output of "asoundconf list"
[10:58] <Spee_Der> lemme look
[10:59] <unknown__> can anyone help with disappearing wireless card issue? It is a broadcom it was working, and now it's not and poof!
[10:59] <Spee_Der> Jordan_U, CS46xx and Live
[11:00] <Jordan_U> Spee_Der, Is "Live" the one you want to use?
[11:00] <spiderfire> is this true. if you have a 64bit ubuntu you dont need a 32 bit ubuntu cause you can run 32bit programs?
[11:00] <jf> spee, you run alsamixer?
[11:00] <Spee_Der> jf, yes.
[11:00] <jf> not all spider
[11:00] <astro76> unknown__, do you know which card specifically? (try: lspci | grep -i bcm )
[11:00] <Spee_Der> Jordan_U, yes, prefer Live as it feeds the external amplifier to drive the 300 W speakers.
[11:00] <Jordan_U> Spee_Der, Then try running "asoundconf set-default-card Live"
[11:00] <spiderfire> jf: what about a 32bit chroot in a 64bit ubuntu?
[11:01] <bullgard4> What is meant by 'system logger' in the sentence "openlog() opens a connection to the system logger for a program."
[11:01] <Spee_Der> Jordan_U, ok.
[11:02] <kevincj> hello everyone
[11:02] <Spee_Der> Sound is still from the internal speaker.
[11:02] <Jordan_U> spiderfire, Yes, 64 bit Ubuntu can run just about anything ( ouside of drivers ) that 32 bit Ubuntu can, but it can be hard getting things to work ( nspluginwrapper / 32 bit chroot )
[11:02] <Spee_Der> It is not going to the sound card, yet.
[11:02] <unknown__> astro76: 02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
[11:03] <Spee_Der> hi kevin
[11:03] <jf> as far as I know cannot run 32 bit adobe flash, some apps.  Can run under wine for most of those however.  Could be wrond on both instances.  normal slack user.  trying ubuntu
[11:03] <Jordan_U> unknown__, have you tried bcm43xx-fwcutter?
[11:03] <kevincj> hi spee_Der
[11:03] <Jordan_U> !flash64 | jf spiderfire
[11:03] <ubotu> jf spiderfire: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[11:03] <jf> why not ndiswrapper
[11:03] <astro76> unknown__, yes have you used bcm43xx-fwcutter or bcm43xx-firmware ?
[11:03] <Jordan_U> jf, It isn't native
[11:03] <astro76> bcm4306 works perfectly without ndiswrapper
[11:03] <spiderfire> Jordan_U: can i use an already existing 32bit install?
[11:03] <jf> easier for new to run than fwcutter
[11:04] <jf> thanks for link ubotu
[11:04] <unknown__> Jordan_U: bcm43xx-fwcutter gets errors
[11:04] <Jordan_U> jf, No, to use fwcutter you just install bcm43xx-fwcutter, there is nothing to "do"
[11:04] <Spee_Der> Do I need to re-start something now with the asoundconf default set for live perhaps ?
[11:05] <jf> i always had problem in slack with fwcutter.  but it is native correct?
[11:05] <Spee_Der> I need more coffee, b r b.
[11:05] <Jordan_U> unknown__, Ahh, probably md5 mismatch again, I have the firmware that it installs on my site, you can just copy it to /lib/firmware ...
[11:06] <unknown__> Jordan_U: md5? what's that?
[11:06] <astro76> unknown__, or the package here also installs the firmware directly: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/dists/feisty-cafuego/bcm43xx/
[11:06] <Jordan_U> astro76, That package is old
[11:07] <astro76> how so?
[11:07] <Jordan_U> unknown__, It is a way of checking file integrity, basically the place where the package downloads the firmware changed and the package hasn't been updated
[11:07] <jf> wb
[11:08] <Jordan_U> unknown__, Here is the .zip file, extract it to your desktop http://trogdoor.googlepages.com/firmware.zip
[11:08] <haboo> hey guys
[11:09] <jf> Jordan - does the fwcutter extract cab files from win. drivers to load at boot?
[11:10] <thyko> how do i connect to WPA wireless network? The network thingi is only giving me the option to use WEP
[11:10] <Jordan_U> jf, It extracts .fw ( firmware ) files
[11:10] <Jordan_U> unknown__, Tell me once you have the firmware in a folder named "firmware" on your desktop
[11:10] <rob> thyko, while I don't recommend it just yet, Gutsy has wpa support in network manager out of the box
[11:10] <unknown__> Jordan_U: kk got it
[11:11] <laskar> indonesia
[11:11] <unknown__> Jordan_U: I have the "firmware"
[11:11] <Spee_Der> Jordan_U, do I need to re-start something for the Live card to work now ? I did the asoundconf set-default-card Live.
[11:12] <Prowler_1> whare can i find the process manager?
[11:12] <jf> thyko- I think this is the one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26623
[11:12] <Jordan_U> unknown__, Ok, now run " sudo mv ~/Dektop/firmware/*.fw /lib/firmware"
[11:12] <Prowler_1> !bootmanager
[11:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bootmanager - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:13] <Jordan_U> unknown__, Change "Dektop" to "Desktop" :)
[11:13] <Prowler_1> !processmanager
[11:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about processmanager - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:13] <Prowler_1> !process manager
[11:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about process manager - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:14] <m0u5e> whats the command to give me the cpu usage of a specific process?
[11:14] <Spee_Der> Prowler_1, system > admin > system monitor
[11:14] <scipio> m0u5e, top?
[11:14] <m0u5e> scipio: i need the cpu usage of a specific process
[11:15] <m0u5e> scipio: i tried ps... but i wasnt able to specify a specific process -_-;
[11:15] <Prowler_1> Spee_Der: Thanks
[11:15] <unknown__> Jordan_U: done no return error
[11:15] <Prowler_1> you know what is the key shortcut for it?
[11:15] <Spee_Der> no. I do it from menu
[11:15] <Jordan_U> unknown__, Now, for security, run "sudo chown root:root /lib/firmware/*.fw"
[11:16] <jf> favorite Java or C/C++ ide's?
[11:16] <Jordan_U> m0u5e, Use grep
[11:16] <unknown__> Jordan_U:  Also done. No return error
[11:16] <Spee_Der> m0u5e, you could also use system > admin > system monitor for more specific information on each process and value.
[11:17] <unknown__> Jordan_U:  Man I gotta say none of this was in any forums
[11:17] <Jordan_U> unknown__, Ok, now reboot and your wireless should work ( the reboot isn't needed but I forget how to restart network-manager :)
[11:17] <Spee_Der> Jordan_U, that can also be done through system monitor menu/functions
[11:17] <WildZeck> hi how to lauch clamd daemon under feisty  please ?
[11:18] <Jordan_U> unknown__, That is because usually you just install bcm43xx-fwcutter and it does all this for you
[11:18] <unknown__> Jordan_U:  Thanks again I'll try rebooting my computer now
[11:20] <z0rz> Hmm.. I just installed Azureus.. and ran the configuraiton wizard.. and I don't remember if I finished it or not.. but now if I open Azureus the config wizard pops up for like 1 sec and then the whole program crashes... Any solutions?
[11:21] <rob> z0rz, might not what you want to hear, but try Deluge, its pretty good
[11:21] <rob> no java too
[11:21] <z0rz> rob: Absolutley what I wanted to hear..
[11:21] <jf> i say uninstall and re-install.   Works fine in feisty.  But I agree with Rob on the Java bit
[11:21] <Will> How do i open a .tgz
[11:22] <jf> installpkg *.tgz (in slack anyways)
[11:22] <astro76> !tar | jf
[11:22] <ubotu> jf: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[11:22] <astro76> sorry
[11:22] <astro76> Will, see above
[11:22] <jf> what?
[11:23] <m0u5e> Jordan_U: how would i use grep?
[11:23] <z0rz> rob: Does deluge support encryption?
[11:23] <Will> ok, also why do I always have to compile programs that are made for linux, why cant they just make them pre-compiled
[11:23] <astro76> jf, I used your nick accidentally ;)
[11:23] <astro76> Will, what programs? they probably are
[11:23] <Will> because now i have to compile dosemu
[11:23] <jf> ah
[11:23] <Jordan_U> m0u5e, ps with whatever arguments >
[11:23] <Will> DOSEMU is in the packages but its not the latest version
[11:23] <rob> z0rz, yes
[11:23] <ziroday> z0rz: yes
[11:24] <astro76> !info dosemu | Will
[11:24] <ubotu> will: dosemu: The Linux DOS Emulator. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.2.2-8 (feisty), package size 947 kB, installed size 2204 kB
[11:24] <Spee_Der> ps ax
[11:24] <z0rz> Nice
[11:24] <z0rz> How do I get it?
[11:24] <rob> z0rz, if you are on Feisty, grab the .deb from the deluge web site (more up to date)
[11:24] <z0rz> then just double click the deb?
[11:24] <Jordan_U> m0u5e, < ps with whatever arguments > | grep <process name>
[11:24] <astro76> Will, well if you absolutely need the latest version then I guess
[11:24] <Will> DOSEMU is at 1.4.0
[11:24] <Spee_Der> ps ax will show all tasks running
[11:24] <alsa> hey i need help

[11:27] <alsa> ive been googling it for hours
[11:27] <alsa> hrm
[11:27] <alsa> brb

[11:29] <garryFre> I just got here, what's happening doug_ ?

[11:30] <Fer_re> LINUX FOREVER!!!
[11:30] <Fer_re> WINDOWS MUST DIE!!!
[11:30] <Fer_re> LET'S KILL GATES!!!
[11:30] <Fer_re> USE ONLY OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE!!!
[11:30] <Fer_re> HAPPY 16'th ANNIVERSARY, LINUX!
[11:30] <doug_> garryfre i got a flash usb 1 gb drive it wont let me delete anything in it
[11:30] <Jordan_U> Fer_re, Calm down and please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:30] <doug_> garryfre it all comes back as read only i change the disks permision it still wont do it it still goes back to the read only
[11:31] <garryFre> use the binaries, get the kernel image matching yours, there is a glx there, and get nvidia-settings and nvidia-config and run the nvidia-config from command line.
[11:31] <sagarp> my install is hanging indefinitely at "setting up the clock"
[11:31] <Fer_re> Jordan_U: it's not offtopic!!! All Russian linux-users is drinking a lot of vodka today!
[11:31] <doug_> garryFre u talking bout my binaries?
[11:31] <z0rz> How can I play mid files?
[11:31] <garryFre> That is strange, that you can't write it
[11:31] <Will> I really have no idea how to compile dosemu 1.4.0
[11:31] <Gary> Fer_re, this is a support channel, not a chat channel
[11:31] <Will> I wish they just released a compiled one
[11:31] <Jordan_U> Fer_re, This is a support channel, anything not pertaining to support is offtopic
[11:32] <garryFre> was talking about how to install nvidia drivers
[11:32] <sagarp> if i just kill the install and reboot at "setting up the clock" will it be ok? what else does it do after that? anyone know?
[11:32] <Fer_re> ggg... OKay, I think I drunk too many today =(
[11:32] <garryFre> I don't think so, it has to install the boot loader.
[11:33] <alsa> Jordan_U
[11:33] <alsa> am back
[11:33] <Jordan_U> alsa, Did you try creating a new user?
[11:34] <alsa> its not creating a user
[11:34] <alsa> ill try by terminal
[11:34] <alsa> damn
[11:34] <alsa> ur good :D
[11:34] <ndee> hey there, I'm using beryl & feisty fawn & the ATI driver and xorg hovers at around 25-50% CPU usage, also when I don't do a thing. Anyone knows maybe what the problem could be?
[11:34] <alsa> it showed
[11:35] <unKNOWN_trOJAN> Jordan U: It worked! Thanks again for the help...
[11:35] <alsa> Jordan_U :-)
[11:37] <Jordan_U> unKNOWN_trOJAN, np :)
[11:37] <aldcor> help... i installed Archlinux... fluxbox and KDE... when i write startkde or fbrun, than - Coudn't load Xserver
[11:37] <Jordan_U> aldcor, This is #ubuntu
[11:38] <aldcor> it doesn't matter
[11:38] <aldcor> somebody maybe now..
[11:38] <aldcor> know
[11:38] <doug_> can someone run me through the steps to reinstall evrything with out loosing the stuff in the home folder rexy told me while ago but i couldnt get it going
[11:39] <doug_> i need someone that can run me through it on aim or msn
[11:39] <Jordan_U> aldcor, have you done "pacman -S xorg" ?
[11:40] <aldcor> joakim- yes
[11:40] <aldcor> Jordan_U yes
[11:40] <aldcor> maybe i should configure xorg?
[11:41] <Jordan_U> aldcor, Yes, you need to run "xorgconfig"
[11:41] <Jordan_U> aldcor, Or pacman -S hwd and use that, it's easier
[11:42] <garryFre> say doug_ During install most distros have an option to leave the partitions there so as not to over-write information. That might help you. The other way might be moving it to a memstick
[11:43] <aleph0> hello everyone
[11:43] <aleph0> I'm having great trouble installing ubuntu on an hp compaq 6751s.
[11:43] <doug_> garryFre i cant do anything with the mim stick its messed up
[11:43] <Jordan_U> doug_, Do you have your /home an a separate partition?
[11:43] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[11:44] <aleph0> in particular, I am now using the alternate install cd for text mode install
[11:44] <doug_> what command do i type to get to this folder ~/compiz
[11:44] <doug_> no jordan_U
[11:44] <Jordan_U> doug_, cd ~/compiz
[11:44] <sonofsam> hello internet land!
[11:44] <aleph0> my question: is there any way I can tell the installer NOT to format the partitions? (I have already formatted by hand - and the installer always hangs on formatting)
[11:44] <doug_> hmm sayes no suck folder jordan_U
[11:44] <EvaLuaTe> when trying to install vhcs with 'sudo sh vhcs.sh' i get 'vhcs.sh: 127: Syntax error: Bad substitution', does anyone have an idea on what could be wrong ?
[11:45] <Jordan_U> doug_, Then you don't have a ~/compiz, maybe you want ~/.compiz ?
[11:45] <mebaran151> hey
[11:45] <Jordan_U> EvaLuaTe, sh != bash
[11:45] <doug_> thnks
[11:45] <mebaran151> I've installed flashplugin with nspluginwrapper on my x86_64 system
[11:46] <mebaran151> it works alright
[11:46] <mebaran151> except the fonts all show as square boxes
[11:46] <mebaran151> I've installed the ms font set and checked my font paths
[11:46] <mebaran151> but I'm at a loss as to what else to do
[11:46] <Jordan_U> mebaran151, Did you follow the wiki ?
[11:46] <mebaran151> yeah'

[11:55] <Javid> ^^
[11:55] <Dromar> good luck ^^
[11:55] <Jordan_U> EvaLuaTe, I am not finding anything, try replacing "sh" in that command with "bash"
[11:56] <EvaLuaTe> like sudo bash vhcs.sh ?

Earlier it was all working and just no image on the screen. Thats kinda it, hehe.

[12:10] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_, You will need to put your /home on a separate partition
[12:10] <nathan> they work
[12:10] <nathan> oh now it works
[12:10] <ailean> guys, is there a way to quickly switch between keyboard layouts in GNOME?  I regularly type in both english and spanish and it's a bit of a pain to have to go into preferences each time.
[12:10] <ubuntu_> how jordan_U
[12:12] <msikma> Hi everone, I was wondering if anyone knew how to keep GDM from being started up. I want to boot up my computer and log in via text mode.
[12:12] <octoberdan> ailean: Try #gnome
[12:12] <Toma-> ailean: add a "Keyboard Indicator" to your panel
[12:12] <ubuntu_> jordan_U do i take the home partition and drag it into the live cd desk?
[12:12] <Jordan_U> !boot | msikma
[12:12] <ubotu> msikma: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[12:12] <unKNOWN_trOJAN> Can anyone help with mplayer not playing a dvd that I have? I've install win32 & some file from medibuntu and it still won't work, any suggestions?
[12:13] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_, No...
[12:13] <wailer> aileen: you can use a panel shortcut
[12:14] <octoberdan> ailean: Write a script and map it to an unused keyboard button/combination?
[12:14] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome You will need to start from your harddrive install IIRC
[12:14] <msikma> Jordan_U: I don't think this is it. I've already modified grub to ensure that I won't see the graphical boot, but I'm certain that GDM is started via some other script than the boot options.
[12:14] <gordonjcp> quick question about installing
[12:15] <unKNOWN_trOJAN> go
[12:15] <gordonjcp> why does it ask me to set a keyboard layout during installation, and then ignore it?
[12:15] <gordonjcp> logic dictates that if you set your keyboard layout while you're installing, you're most likely to want to continue using that layout
[12:15] <ailean> guys, is there a way to quickly switch between keyboard layouts in GNOME?  I regularly type in both english and spanish and it's a bit of a pain to have to go into preferences each time.
[12:16] <unKNOWN_trOJAN> gordonjcp: sounds like it could be many things unfortunatley
[12:16] <Jordan_U> msikma, Read the whole message, you can use bum to prevent gdm from starting automatically
[12:16] <gordonjcp> unKNOWN_trOJAN: no, it's one thing; the installer just plain doesn't set up your keyboard
[12:16] <gordonjcp> unKNOWN_trOJAN: this is probably something more for the dev lists though ;-)
[12:17] <unKNOWN_trOJAN> gordonjcp: whats your hardware?
[12:17] <wailer> aileen: right click on a panel - click ad to panel - application launcher - preferences
[12:17] <wailer> *add
[12:18] <EvaLuaTe> how can i enable root login on ubuntu 7.04 ?
[12:18] <gordonjcp> unKNOWN_trOJAN: generic desktop pc, but this is true of any hardware
[12:18] <gordonjcp> !root | EvaLuaTe
[12:18] <ubotu> EvaLuaTe: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[12:18] <Norrel> !root | EvaLuaTe
[12:18] <Jordan_U> EvaLuaTe, Why do you want to log in as root? ( you shouldn't )
[12:19] <EvaLuaTe> i have a program the requires root to install (i think that's the problem ... :/ )
[12:19] <msikma> Jordan_U: I can't seem to find what you mean, and I can't find "bum".
[12:19] <Norrel> EvaLuaTe: sudo
[12:19] <EvaLuaTe> Norrel, it doesn't seem to work with sudo
[12:19] <keithhhhh> Is there any disadvantage of installing ubuntu 5.10 then upgrading to 7.04?  I have a fresh new HD
[12:19] <ubuntu_> jordan_U it doesnt tell me how to move the home partition
[12:19] <wailer> sudo apt-get
[12:20] <EvaLuaTe> i get permission denied when the program tries to vreate a file :/
[12:20] <EvaLuaTe> create even
[12:20] <Optimus_Prime> try www.google.com
[12:20] <EvaLuaTe> me ?
[12:20] <gordonjcp> EvaLuaTe: did you read the link that the bot gave you?
[12:20] <Jordan_U> msikma, sudo apt-get install bum
[12:21] <unKNOWN_trOJAN> gordonjcp: I'll never understand... today Ubuntu install won't grab my broadcom. Yesterday xfce4 saw it fine.
[12:21] <EvaLuaTe> gordonjcp, yes i did
[12:21] <gordonjcp> unKNOWN_trOJAN: I just did a clean reinstall, and although lspci sees my soundcard, nothing else wants to talk to it
[12:22] <whta> is there ANY WAY at ALL to get opengl applications to work in an XGL session with an ATI card? :(
[12:22] <gordonjcp> EvaLuaTe: so you know what to do then
[12:22] <EvaLuaTe> well, it doesn't work with sudo :/
[12:22] <mwe> whta, people in #ubuntu-effects may know more about it
[12:23] <Jordan_U> whta, You can run them from the underlying x server instead of XGL, /join #ubuntu-effects
[12:23] <gordonjcp> EvaLuaTe: you haven't read the page, have you?
[12:23] <EvaLuaTe> i have
[12:23] <unKNOWN_trOJAN> gordonjcp: Another curiosity... I've done exactly the same things to install mplayer in xfce and now in ubuntu, and guess which is not working...
[12:23] <gordonjcp> no, you can't have
[12:23] <kritzstapf> does the server install contain anything the desktop install doesnt?
[12:23] <whta> thanks guys, i'll ask over there
[12:23] <Jordan_U> EvaLuaTe, In what way does it not work with sudo?
[12:23] <gordonjcp> EvaLuaTe: otherwise you'd know how to start a root shell, wouldn't you?
[12:23] <Norrel> kritzstapf: server version of kernel
[12:24] <gordonjcp> EvaLuaTe: go back and read it right to the end ;-)
[12:24] <msikma> Jordan_U: thanks, I will look into it
[12:24] <almien> so just running ubuntu liveCD on a thinkpad... and when booted it gives a blank black screen instead of a graphical desktop - is this normal?!
[12:24] <ubuntu_> if i delete .compiz .emerald .kde .update-notifier and .update-manager-core would that ruin the drive?
[12:24] <unKNOWN_trOJAN> gordonjcp: it makes better sense if it were 2 different computers, but there not :p
[12:24] <RdKil> i have a small problem that's been confoundng me for days, does anyone mind helping out a guy with his first linux install?
[12:24] <Jordan_U> almien, No
[12:24] <EvaLuaTe> Jordan_U: i get a 'Permission denied' when the installer tries to create a file
[12:25] <Jordan_U> EvaLuaTe, It may be trying to write to a read only file system
[12:25] <gordonjcp> EvaLuaTe: some things don't work well from sudo; then you need to use a root shell
[12:25] <unKNOWN_trOJAN> gordonjcp: oops "they're" ... nap time I guess
[12:25] <almien> the "blank screen" thing happens with pretty much every version of ubuntu I've tried (but not on pclinuxos or mepis)
[12:26] <unKNOWN_trOJAN> niters
[12:26] <ubuntu_> hey Jordan_U if i delete those files the .compiz .emerald .kde .update-notifier .update-manager-core would that harm anything?
[12:26] <Jordan_U> almien, Can you get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1 ?
[12:26] <EvaLuaTe> gordonjcp, i can't find the section on how to use a root shell on that site :/
[12:26] <wailer> never had a blank screen in ubuntu
[12:27] <gordonjcp> !root | EvaLuaTe
[12:27] <ubotu> EvaLuaTe: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[12:27] <gordonjcp> EvaLuaTe: read that page
[12:27] <gordonjcp> it's there
[12:27] <gordonjcp> I've got it right in front of me
[12:27] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_, At most you should rename them so they aren't used but still are available to put back
[12:27] <EvaLuaTe> ohh, right, it's at the bottom, didn't notice :/
[12:27] <EvaLuaTe> thank you
[12:27] <gordonjcp> EvaLuaTe: *told you*
[12:27] <gordonjcp> ;-)
[12:27] <ubuntu_> jordan_U i stillc ant figure out how to move the home partition
[12:28] <gordonjcp> EvaLuaTe: this is how we learn, y'see
[12:28] <almien> that's the weird thing - ctrl-alt-F1 and similar just don't do anything on my machine, it's just blank and unresponsive
[12:28] <gordonjcp> and it's why we don't spoon-feed answers ;-)
[12:28] <EvaLuaTe> AMAZING, it works now =)
[12:28] <MegaIRC> hello there guys
[12:29] <Jordan_U> almien, Do you see the usplash?
[12:30] <haboo> sup guys
[12:30] <RdKil> mornin haboo
[12:30] <ubuntu_> if i hook up a ethernet wire from a ubuntu os and axp os how do i get it where i can transfer files?
[12:30] <freepenguin> hello
[12:30] <BlueStorm_> Nitro tha CiMien
[12:30] <haboo> :) good morning
[12:31] <almien> usplash?  I see the text-mode stuff (starting HAL, starting CUPS etc) then it blanks
[12:31] <Jordan_U> almien, Some BIOSs don't work well with usplash, you could try starting without "splash" in the kernel parameters at boot
[12:31] <RdKil> ubuntu_: 1st you need a crossover ethernet cable.  or a router.
[12:31] <Jordan_U> almien, Then it is probably a usplash problem
[12:31] <ubuntu_> RdkiL i got a router
[12:31] <Jordan_U> almien, Wait...
[12:31] <joakim-> just install samba on your linux box then ubuntu_
[12:32] <Jordan_U> almien, What version of Ubuntu?
[12:32] <joakim-> and connect both comp's to the router obviosly
[12:32] <almien> same with both 7.04, 7.10
[12:32] <RdKil> joakim-: that's something i've been meaning to learn how to do.  is it hard?
[12:32] <ubuntu_> joakim how would i get it to the xp with samba?
[12:32] <heanol> is there some special package you need for network manager to manage wlans too?
[12:32] <heanol> i have a wlan0 but the nm-applet doesnt seem to want to manage it
[12:32] <joakim-> RdKil, to install samba?
[12:32] <joakim-> sudo apt-get install samba i guess..
[12:33] <ubuntu_> joakim is it hard to run samba?
[12:33] <joakim-> no
[12:33] <Jordan_U> almien, Do you know how to change boot options on the LiveCD?
[12:33] <ubuntu_> joakim both comps r hooked to the same router
[12:33] <RdKil> joakim-: aye.  i have some files on an ntfs drive i want copied over to whatever format linux uses.  i know i need smaba to talk to teh two computers, but i've never set it up before.
[12:34] <joakim-> i think samba comes oob with ubuntu anyway
[12:34] <Lamego> RdKil, if both drives are on the same computer, you do not need samba
[12:34] <almien> I've got F6, is asking me to type boot options
[12:34] <ubuntu_> joakim can one os be ubuntu and another os be xp and it still work?
[12:34] <joakim-> thats what samba is for
[12:34] <almien> any idea what the thing to type is
[12:34] <Lamego> RdKil, samba is only required if you need to access to a windows share, over the network
[12:34] <Jordan_U> almien, Do you see "splash" there?
[12:34] <joakim-> http://us4.samba.org/samba/
[12:34] <almien> F6 at boot just gives "Boot options:____________________"
[12:35] <Jordan_U> almien, With 7.04 ?
[12:35] <Jack333> is there anyway to autodetect windows network share in ubuntu
[12:35] <kakarutu> when i open a new tab in firefox, my PC freezes, and "Caps Lock" and "Scroll Lock" was blinking, i restarted the PC, and it was fixed, im using ubuntu 7.04, what happened to my PC?
[12:36] <Jordan_U> almien, That isn't possible ....
[12:36] <doug_> joakim do i have to have samba ont he xp os?
[12:36] <almien> not possible?
[12:36] <almien> this is 7.10 I'm using at moment
[12:36] <joakim-> no doug_
[12:36] <Jack333> anyone?
[12:37] <RdKil> joakim-: hmm... true.  however it has backups of stuff from teh rest of teh family's computers and they want to keep access to it.  I was origionally going to install the ntfs drive in a windows xp comuter, install samba, transfer teh files to teh linux computer, remove the ntfs drive install it into the linux computer, format so linux can use it, copy teh files back over again.
[12:37] <Jordan_U> almien, Use 7.04, 7.10 is not finished
[12:37] <joakim-> click on places -> network and if youve got a windows box on the network, it should show up there
[12:37] <doug_> joakim do i have to have them hooked with eithernet cause there both wireless right now
[12:37] <RdKil> and then set samba uup so my borthers can see them.
[12:37] <joakim-> no doug_
[12:37] <joakim-> as long as theyre connected to the router
[12:37] <doug_> ok joakim i got it installed so hwo do i get it to run?
[12:38] <joakim-> click on places -> network and if youve got a windows box on the network, it should show up there
[12:38] <Jack333> joakim where do you find places in kubuntu?
[12:38] <almien> 7.04 is pretty much exactly the same, I can find a CD to try it again, but I had to use "safe graphics mode" to install it, and then every time it booted, you'd have to reboot the machine at least once before it would come up with a graphical desktop (i.e. first time you boot it fails, second time it might work)
[12:38] <joakim-> dunno Jack333
[12:38] <joakim-> check konqueror
[12:38] <maaks> maaks> hi
 i just wanted to know , how to launch compiz with emerald
 is there a specific command to type in ?
 i'm using the compiz --replace command
[12:38] <joakim-> maaks, compiz --replace -c emerald
[12:39] <maaks> thanks joakim- :)
[12:39] <almien> so in this respect they look similar.  there isn't anything on the 7.10 buglist which I need...
[12:39] <doug_> joakim how i get samba up i dont see it int he apps i installed it via sudo apt-get
[12:40] <Jordan_U> almien, That is *far* from meaning that 7.10 will work for you
[12:41] <RdKil> joakim-: doe sthat make sense, or is it there an easier way?
[12:41] <GIn> any one knows a tool to change the wallpaper every 10 minutes like in OSX?
[12:41] <joakim-> take it here OPTIMusprime1212
[12:41] <almien> well, at the moment I have just one major problem, that it doesn't boot-up. and that does exactly the same thing in both versions (no particular preference for which one I'll use, but this problem doesn't seem to be a version-related thing).  Just burning a kububtu 7.04 CD now to try
[12:42] <EvaLuaTe> 'CRITICAL ERROR: Module [MIME::Entity]  WAS NOT FOUND !', what does this mean ? :/
[12:42] <Lamego> almien, the CD does not bootup at which part ?
[12:42] <OPTIMusprime1212> joakim i installed samba but dont see it
[12:42] <joakim-> you need to have samba-common installed RdKil
[12:42] <Lamego> if the kernel does not boot, choosing another window manager, will not help
[12:43] <Lamego> Optimus_Prime, samba is not a desktop application
[12:43] <OPTIMusprime1212> well hwo do i use it then lamego
[12:43] <Lamego> EvaLuaTe, it means, that module, was not found :)
[12:43] <EvaLuaTe> Lamego, what would i have to install ?
[12:44] <almien> Lamego: after all the text-mode stuff (starting HAL etc) it blanks (and ctrl-alt-f1 and similar have no effect).  I'm aware that kubuntu is no different, the suggestion was to use 7.04 instead of 7.10 hence the new CD.  but I already know that won't work because I tried it before
[12:44] <Lamego> OPTIMusprime1212, depends, do you need samba, to share local files with remote windows computers, or do you need samba to access windows shares ?
[12:44] <joakim-> try typing smb:/// in nautilus/konqueror OPTIMusprime1212, dougsko RdKil
[12:44] <Lamego> almien, 7.10 was not released, you should only used it, if you are planning to file bug reports on it
[12:45] <OPTIMusprime1212> lamego i need it to transfer songs and music vids and music
[12:45] <Lamego> almien, anyway, you should do it, because, eventually someone will check it, and eventually fix whatever is required to make 7.10 work for you ;)
[12:45] <RdKil> joakim-: so if i do that it should download and install and work relatively easily then eh?
[12:45] <OPTIMusprime1212> lamego it will be going on to a xp os from ubuntu
[12:45] <Lamego> OPTIMusprime1212, between 2 different computers ?
[12:45] <OPTIMusprime1212> yes lamego
[12:45] <joakim-> RdKil, no, as i said, a package called samba-common has to be installed
[12:45] <joakim-> then you can go to that address
[12:46] <joakim-> which is is the windows-network on the router
[12:46] <joakim-> (or, should be)
[12:46] <Jordan_U> almien, But you havn't tried it without usplash
[12:46] <Lamego> OPTIMusprime1212, but one of them will be a server ? Or you just want to interchange files between each other ?
[12:46] <OPTIMusprime1212> interchange
[12:46] <OPTIMusprime1212> lamego
[12:46] <Lamego> RdKil, if you want to access to a remote windows share, you just need to use one of the several samba share capable browsers
[12:46] <OPTIMusprime1212> lamego: i need to reinstall ubuntu and dont want to loose all my music and stuff
[12:47] <Lamego> they should be responsible for the "samba-common" install, you don't need to install that by hand
[12:47] <RdKil> hmmm... ok.  thanks for the help joakim-, i'd love to stay and work through this but i still haven't finished installing kubuntu on thelinux pc yet so i think i got ahead of myself here.
[12:47] <Lamego> OPTIMusprime1212, well, if are new to Linux, you should dual boot
[12:47] <joakim-> you can even see the samba-ntwrk in firefox :)
[12:47] <joakim-> it should be installed by default RdKil
[12:47] <almien> Jordan_U: yes, that's a good point. do you know the boot options to do that?
[12:47] <Lamego> shrking your current XP partition, and use the remaining space, for Ubuntu, tha is my suggestion
[12:47] <RdKil> hmmm...  all this linux talk confuses me some mornings.
[12:48] <Lamego> RdKil, forget linux, what you want to do, is to access to a windows share, right ?
[12:48] <Jordan_U> almien, Just hit F6 and *remove* the word "splash"
[12:48] <OPTIMusprime1212> i was going to do that lamego but i still need to transfer my stuff first and our flash drive craped out on me
[12:48] <Lamego> i mean, forget whatever you think is too complex, and is not :P
[12:48] <Lamego> OPTIMusprime1212, why do you need to tranfer ? Don't you have enough free space ?
[12:49] <OPTIMusprime1212> no lamego its all ubuntu os
[12:49] <Lamego> ok, so you want to move to a windows ?
[12:49] <OPTIMusprime1212> lamego: and to install xp i have to use the disks that came with the laptop to get xp on it i dont have any reg xp disks
[12:50] <RdKil> lol, what i want to do is have a small home workgroup setup where the windows pcs can see teh linux and the linux the windows.  read and write files between each other, and that's it.
[12:50] <Lamego> ah ok, you have a ubuntu only laptop, and want to conver it into a windows xp+ubuntu ?
[12:50] <lucky_> hi all
[12:50] <OPTIMusprime1212> yes lamego
[12:51] <OPTIMusprime1212> hey lamego can i pm u so we dont flood the chans and i dont get so confused
[12:51] <Lamego> RdKil, "seeing each other" to access to a windows share from a linux system, you will need to use a samba capable browser
[12:51] <arun> hello people
[12:51] <arun> Can someone please help me with partitioning? I am trying to partition as: 40GB Windows XP partition, 30GB FAT32 shared partition, 512mb swap, 15GB as / and the rest as /home  . how do i do this? I am trying, but as soon as i create a total of 4 partitions (including swap), it allocates the rest of the space as 'unusable'. What am I doing wrong?
[12:51] <RdKil> Lamego: k, i'm good with that concept.
[12:51] <Lamego> RdKil, to acess the linux share from windows, you will need to install samba, the service, and setup the shares
[12:52] <Lamego> RdKil, if all depends on your expectation for "seeing each other" :P
[12:52] <almien> Jordan_U: turns out the CD I have is text-mode installer so I'm trying that now. But once it's installed, is there a method to remove this usplash from subsequent boot-up options?
[12:52] <cyberix> Is the 7.10 release going to include a _desktop_ version of gobuntu?
[12:52] <Lamego> almien, yes there is
[12:52] <Lamego> cyberix, what is gobuntu ?
[12:52] <faileas> i was about to ask the same thing ;p
[12:53] <RdKil> Lamego: lol, yeah good old generalization terms eh?  they need to have read/write permissions on both sides.
[12:53] <arun> anyone? :)
[12:53] <cyberix> Lamego: Free software flavor of Ubuntu.
[12:53] <astro76> you can only have 4 "primary partitions", but one of those 4 can be an "extended partition" which contains more "logical partitions"
[12:53] <astro76> arun ^
[12:53] <Lamego> RdKil, ok, so, what you want to do, is to create file shares, on both sides
[12:53] <cyberix> Lamego: To be released along with 7.10
[12:53] <haboo> Is it true that Google is launching its OWN linux distro??????
[12:53] <Lamego> cyberix, no idea
[12:53] <faileas> haboo: no
[12:53] <RdKil> Lamego: that sounds about right.
[12:53] <Lamego> haboo, that question is off topic
[12:54] <arun> astro76: so how do you suggest I do this?
[12:54] <Lamego> RdKil, ok, you have 2 tasks, 1 is very easy, the 2 is a bit harder
[12:54] <Lamego> 1 - Setup the windows share on the windows box, and access it from linux
[12:54] <RdKil> Lamego: i was afraid you'd say that. lol
[12:54] <arun> astro76: i don't think you can create extended partitions using the partitioning utility in the installer
[12:54] <arun> or can you?
[12:54] <Lamego> 2 - Setup the linux samba share
[12:54] <Lamego> pick one :P
[12:55] <RdKil> lol, i'll have to come back to them both for now.  i need to go get ready for work.
[12:55] <Jordan_U> almien, Yes, sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst look for the line "# defoptions=quiet splash" and remove the word "splash" ( do *not* uncomment the line ), then run "sudo update-grub"
[12:55] <RdKil> but thatnks for the help.  can i come back here in a few days and get some help from you?
[12:55] <Lamego> ok :P
[12:56] <astro76> arun, I'd probably do it like this: {XP primary, / primary, extended{swap logical, fat32 logical, /home logical}}
[12:56] <arun> astro76: if i create them as logical, then they automatically get grouped into an extended partition?
[12:57] <arun> or do i have to create an extended first and then the others within that
[12:57] <astro76> arun, depends on the tool
[12:57] <OPTIMusprime1212> hey lamego mind if i pm u so i dont get confused with all the other ones in this room
[12:57] <arun> astro76: i'm using the partitioning utility from the installer. when you choose 'manual'
[12:57] <msikma> Hm. A Dutch translation on the Launchpad (for 7.10) has been made and confirmed to be correct, but I'm pretty certain that it has a grammatical mistake. How would I be able to make a comment on the translation?
[12:57] <astro76> arun, I'd highly recommend exiting out of the installer and using System -> Administration -> Gnome Partition Editor instead
[12:58] <almien> Jordan_U: thanks, trying that now
[12:58] <msikma> Actually, I'll ask in the dev channel
[12:58] <alsa> is there a way to get ubuntu to reinstall BASIC installed packages ?
[12:58] <arun> astro76: so i should use gparted to create the partitions and then install ubuntu?
[12:58] <alsa> without having reinstall
[12:58] <kajiura06> hello?
[12:59] <astro76> arun, yes, you'll still use manual, but you'll only specify the mount points, and check the format checkboxes
[12:59] <kajiura06> can somone help me
[12:59] <almien> (the F6 options not displaying any text by default -- I think that might have been because it displays the text for whatever option you've selected in the menu above it -- so if you've selected something other than 'boot the CD' the text might be blank)
[12:59] <Anlar> msikma: just go and correct it yourself at rosetta :)
[12:59] <astro76> arun, also if you have trouble with gparted on the livecd, there's also the gparted livecd :)
[12:59] <astro76> !gparted | arun
[12:59] <ubotu> arun: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[01:00] <arun> astro76: hmm.. i'll try that. i'm just worried i might mess something up, not too clear about how to create an extended partition.. is it easy with gparted?
[01:00] <msikma> Anlar: I did suggest a new version, but since the other version is "reviewed", I'd rather also make a comment to explain w hy it is incorrect
[01:00] <astro76> arun, do you have data on the drive?
[01:01] <Anlar> msikma: it is in any case slow process, but I think they review it by time :)
[01:01] <msikma> Hm, quite a shock to see so many grammatically incorrect suggestions on Rosetta. :P
[01:01] <arun> astro76: i've backed up my data, and i have only windows xp installed on the hard drive (40GB). The rest of the 120GB is free, but i would like to retain my windows partition. I've used gparted to format external drives before, never to create extended partitions
[01:01] <msikma> One of the most common mistakes in Dutch is called the "English disease", where words that should be written together are written as separate words.
[01:01] <Tribe5user> Where can I get the AWN dock?
[01:01] <msikma> E.g. "installatie programma" instead of the correct "installatieprogramma" (install program)
[01:01] <Xerox_> xd
[01:01] <Xerox_> xd
[01:02] <larson9999> i upgraded to gutsy yesterday and things are going well.  but one thing i can't figure out is fontsize in the address bar in firefox is smaller.  too small really.  how do i change that?
[01:02] <Anlar> msikma: in finnish that happens ats well.. especially younger people have that and it really sucks
[01:02] <nomasteryoda> arun, just resize the partition and leave windows on the left side of the graphic bar representation in gparted...
[01:02] <astro76> arun, if the 40GB is already at the beginning, you're all set, it's safe (and you've backed up just in case)
[01:02] <alsa> is there a way to get ubuntu to reinstall BASIC installed packages ?
[01:02] <astro76> I think he has it sized already
[01:02] <nomasteryoda> arun, like astro76  just said
[01:03] <msikma> Anlar: yes, exactly, especially younger people make that mistake often. I hear that Finnish is a language in which words get combined pretty heavily, too.
[01:03] <msikma> Isn't this called an "agglutinative" language?
[01:03] <alsa> any one help
[01:03] <almien> interesting... so same "blank unresponsive" effect with the "splash" option removed...
[01:03] <arun> astro76: it's at the beginning, yes
[01:04] <caribou_> Is it possible to wrinte on a Ntfs partition from linux ?
[01:04] <caribou_> "write"
[01:04] <wailer> kajiura06:just ask the question
[01:04] <astro76> !ntfs-3g | caribou_
[01:04] <ubotu> caribou_: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[01:04] <Anlar> msikma: I don't know what it is called, ut our language is dying in any case :/ luckily the Finnish translations at least for most common applications seem to be pretty aok. for instance Gnome project had a pretty good finnish team working on it years ago already
[01:04] <kajiura06> i cant run the cd
[01:04] <arun> astro76: will i have to set mount points in gparted itself, or do i do that with the installer?
[01:04] <larson9999> caribou_, yes.
[01:04] <alsa> caribou_ : ntfs-3g
[01:04] <caribou_> ohh
[01:04] <caribou_> astro76, thank you :)
[01:04] <alsa> ubotu !ntfs-3g
[01:04] <caribou_> and the others :p
[01:04] <nomasteryoda> arun, the installer
[01:04] <wailer> the live cd?
[01:04] <Tribe5user> kajiura06: what exactly happens
[01:04] <kajiura06> yes
[01:04] <alsa> is there a way to get ubuntu to reinstall BASIC installed packages ? without reinstalling ubuntu
[01:05] <arun> nomasteryoda: thanks
[01:05] <arun> astro76: thank you for your help, you've been great
[01:05] <joakim-> alsa, sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop might work
[01:05] <elena_g> hello, I can't get my microphone working, in windows everything worked...
[01:05] <elena_g> I use Ubuntu 7.04
[01:05] <astro76> alsa, you can apt-get install --reinstall any package, what's the problem?
[01:05] <wailer> kaliura06: your bios set to boot the cd drive first?
[01:05] <kajiura06> the cd boots but it wont start
[01:06] <alsa> astro76 : i need it to reinstall all the basic packages
[01:06] <kajiura06> i receive errors
[01:06] <msikma> Anlar: I don't know how it's done in Finnish, but in Dutch, the rule can be simplified (more or less) to this: a word contains only one, not more or less, emphasized syllables (i.e. stress).
[01:06] <alsa> some one screwed with my system and i got a lot of missing packages
[01:06] <alsa> and i dont know which are exactly or how to recover
[01:06] <joakim-> you could install ubuntu again too i think.. without formatting the disk
[01:06] <nomasteryoda> alsa, doing aptitude install ubuntu-desktop should make it work
[01:06] <arun> astro76: wish me luck :P
[01:07] <alsa> nomasteryoda : u think ?
[01:07] <Lamego> alsa, first, if you get into that serious problem, you must have added a large incompatible repository on your sources.lst
[01:07] <Anlar> msikma: Finnish is a few dozen times more complex than most of the other languages.. :)
[01:07] <astro76> joakim-, the installer requires at least / to be formatted
[01:07] <nomasteryoda> ya
[01:07] <nomasteryoda> heck, worth a try alsa
[01:07] <ion> I need the most updated guide to install compiz fusion
[01:07] <joakim-> aight astro76
[01:07] <wailer> kajiura06: look at the cd & see whats on it - in windows or something
[01:07] <alsa> nomasteryoda : here it blows lol
[01:07] <po> If I switch to a tty-console in ubuntu and exceed the screen height by writing commands, it doesn't scroll down automatically and thus I can't see the commands that I wrote. how can I fix it?
[01:07] <Lamego> alsa, your first step for a possible (or not) resolution, is to remove that repository from the list
[01:07] <arun> alright, see ya
[01:07] <kajiura06> its the cd and i use the test peature and it says it works 100%
[01:08] <alsa> Lamego : come again
[01:08] <alsa> ?
[01:08] <iceek> I have problem with page loading from some servers with firefox and opera. ubuntu 7.04, cable internet, routet/gateway, home network, notebook works well on same system (ubuntu live cd). Can someone help me please?
[01:08] <msikma> Anlar: I've studied French, Spanish and German, and I think that Dutch too seems to be a bit more complex than most languages. Especially speaking Dutch is difficult because there are so many useless yet required words.
[01:08] <Lamego> alsa, "some one screwed with my system and i got a lot of missing packages"
[01:08] <Lamego> you just have missing, or do you have broken packages ?
[01:08] <wailer> kajiura06: is it an iso file or several files
[01:08] <alsa> Lamego : yeah
[01:08] <alsa> missing packages
[01:09] <Lamego> if you are just missing, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal" you will resolve your problem
[01:09] <joakim-> msikma, it seems like half the dutch dictionary is made up of weird 4-letter words :)
[01:09] <alsa> like I DONT SEE MY NETWORK interfaces in network
[01:09] <alsa> didnt fix the prob :S
[01:09] <Lamego> alsa, ah, so you have a bigger problem yo do not have network ? or you do have, but the interfaces are not listed ?
[01:09] <almien> ok, looks like I'm installing PcLinuxOS again, thanks everyone for help...
[01:09] <nomasteryoda> alsa, is it the system you are running xchat on?
[01:09] <alsa> i have pppoe running
[01:09] <Lamego> alsa, describe "did not fixed the problem", what was the error when doing those commands ?
[01:09] <alsa> lol
[01:09] <kajiura06> it is many files
[01:09] <alsa> no errors
[01:09] <alsa> just still some packages are missing
[01:10] <iceek> I have problem with page loading from some servers with firefox and opera. ubuntu 7.04, cable internet, routet/gateway, home network, notebook works well on same system (ubuntu live cd). Can someone help me please?
[01:10] <joakim-> does it say which packages are missing?
[01:10] <Lamego> alsa, those commands does a basic install, you can only be missing packages which are not part of the basic install
[01:10] <alsa> chill im rebooting
[01:10] <nomasteryoda> alsa, try running "ifconfig -a" and see what network stuff is active
[01:10] <alsa> MO NETWORK devices found lol
[01:11] <Lamego> alsa, so your problem is not about missing packages anymore, is about missing network devices
[01:11] <wailer> kajiura06: it might just be a bad burn - does it go like normal at boot?
[01:11] <alsa> ifconfig displays all
[01:11] <Lamego> do not mess your question, otherwise you we will mess on the answer
[01:11] <kajiura06> no it open up the ubuntu setup on startup
[01:11] <msikma> joakim-: unless you start combining words, like "IBM-computer" or "grotestedenbeleid".
[01:11] <Lamego> alsa, does ifconfig displays the interfaces, if it does, then you are just refering to a GUI which does not display the network interfaces ?
[01:11] <alsa> "Network Settings is BLANK "
[01:11] <joakim-> msikma, same thing in swedish with combining words, but in swedish the words tend to be a bit longer
[01:11] <alsa> yeah
[01:12] <wailer> kajiura06: then?
[01:12] <kajiura06> when i run the run/install i get an error msg
[01:12] <msikma> joakim-: I think English is the shortest language that I know
[01:12] <joakim-> "het weer is heel mooi vandaag"
[01:12] <msikma> joakim-: that's entirely correct :P
[01:12] <joakim-> lots of small words :)
[01:12] <Lamego> alsa, ifconfig gives you the correct configuration from an OS perspective, so what you mean, is that you have a problem with a graphical configuration utility
[01:13] <joakim-> where from nl are you?
[01:13] <alsa> Lamego : you're prolly head on that
[01:13] <Anlar> msikma: the longest grammatically correct Finnish word is: epjrjestelmllistyttmttmyydellnsknkhn.
[01:13] <msikma> I'm from Rotterdam, in South Holland.
[01:13] <wailer> kajiura06: that's normally a bad burn - try burning the disk at slowist speed
[01:13] <msikma> Anlar: that's amazing, what does it mean?
[01:13] <joakim-> nice, im living in den haag but got some friends in rotterdam
[01:13] <Lamego> alsa, are you refering to the network manager applet ? How do you into that "Network Settings" screen ?
[01:13] <kajiura06> ok
[01:13] <Anlar> msikma: it takes almost couple pages of text to explain.. no thanks, I won't take on that task :)
[01:13] <joakim-> but im swedish though :)
[01:14] <Lamego> go
[01:14] <wailer> kajiura06 OSs are finicky when being burnt
[01:14] <alsa> both
[01:14] <po> If I switch to a tty-console in ubuntu and exceed the screen height by writing commands, it doesn't scroll down automatically and thus I can't see the commands that I wrote. how can I fix it?
[01:14] <alsa> System -> preferences -> Network
[01:14] <msikma> joakim-: I don't go to Den Haag often, but I like it there. I always go to the final exam expo of the art school in Den Haag.
[01:14] <mc2ts> need help with sound card..i can hear sound at start up but there is no sound from any of the programs..Sound blaster audigy platnuim s/c
[01:14] <msikma> The  Den Haag art school is the best in the Netherlands, in my opinion.
[01:14] <kajiura06> is 8x good enough
[01:14] <joakim-> den haag is pretty much a mix of amsterdam and rotterdam i think..
[01:14] <joakim-> i really like the people from r'dam
[01:15] <Anlar> msikma: I hear dutch daily, because I'm in Brussels
[01:15] <joakim-> but the city is a bit too new
[01:15] <EvaLuaTe> what's the command to create a file ?
[01:15] <joakim-> amsterdam is just a theme park
[01:15] <astro76> EvaLuaTe, touch ?
[01:15] <joakim-> wouldnt be able to live there
[01:15] <jscinoz> Hey guys, How can i make anew group that is allowed access to uinput without root?
[01:15] <wailer> kajiura06: I am bittorenting gutsy at the moment - Iwill burn at 4x
[01:15] <Lamego> alsa, I have no, System -> Preferences -> Network, are you using Feisty ?
[01:16] <coldleg> can somebody please tell me the command line for changing the screen resolution?
[01:16] <alsa> "administration - > Network
[01:16] <alsa> "
[01:16] <wailer> *I will
[01:16] <Lamego> coldleg, you will need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:16] <Lamego> it is not a command, its a configuration file
[01:16] <Lamego> or, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, for the full reconfig
[01:16] <Lamego> the last one, is a command :)
[01:16] <kajiura06> ok tnks
[01:16] <coldleg> thanks
[01:17] <po> how can I change the console font size, but this is not gui console.
[01:18] <Lamego> alsa, first you must identify the package, related to your problem
[01:18] <Lamego> open a terminal
[01:18] <Lamego> while keeping the network settings window open, we will try to identify the broken utility/package
[01:19] <mc2ts> i need some sound card help...SB Audigy
[01:19] <Lamego> alsa, on the terminal: ps -ef | grep network
[01:19] <alsa> 1 sec
[01:20] <alsa> Lamego , after reboot
[01:20] <alsa> it appears on my System -> administration -> Network
[01:20] <alsa> but i cant see the wireless in my Network Manager on systray
[01:21] <Lamego> alsa, , ok, and I am teaching you to identify which program is that menu entry refering too :)
[01:21] <Lamego> alsa, I am assuming the interfaces are listed on ifconfig, with a proper configuration, as per my question some minutes ago
[01:22] <alsa> yeah
[01:22] <alsa> Lamego , listen the "System - administration  - Network " displays ! upon reboot
[01:22] <po> how can I change the console font size, but this is not gui console.
[01:22] <alsa> but the problem persists that the NetworkManager (  nm-applet) doesnt see the wireless
[01:23] <Lamego> ah ok
[01:23] <haka4> seilla_maniezz
[01:24] <kajiura06> can someone answer one of my quick questions
[01:24] <wailer> po: are you using an editor or no window manager
[01:24] <mirf> I have a strange thing happening with a partition, can anyone explain this: http://tinyurl.com/2w2opy
[01:24] <po> wailer: no window manager
[01:24] <mirf> Kaja, what question?
[01:24] <mirf> kajiura06,  what question?
[01:25] <po> wailer: at the expert setup of ubuntu, I changed the font size to a small size, and now I want to revert.
[01:25] <kajiura06> can uyou use ubuntu on a really old computer like pentium 2
[01:25] <mirf> you can
[01:25] <mirf> kajiura06, BUT...
[01:25] <kajiura06> tnks
[01:25] <kajiura06> ?
[01:26] <mirf> kajiura06,  the standard desktop install will be extremely slow, you can use the server edition to install a more lightweight system 1 sec I will you a link
[01:26] <wailer> po: sorry - never go there
[01:26] <kajiura06> can u use xubuntu?
[01:26] <jyrkililja> Hello!
[01:26] <Lamego> kajiura06, how much memory does it have ?
[01:27] <Cuzz> Hi, can some help me connect to the internet. I have 2 computers. The windows xp comp is connected to the net and i would like to connect ubuntu via lan to the internet. Im using 7.04. PLS THANX
[01:27] <Lamego> memory is one of the most relevant resources on an old computer
[01:27] <jyrkililja> I've got a problem with Ubuntu and networking...
[01:27] <ironmatar> im really haveing a hard time underatding how to operate ubuntu   and wine together  is there some kind of easy way t do this? that dosent require days of reading docs and tutorials?
[01:27] <jyrkililja> We've got a Ubuntu box as a SVN server and it drops network connection quite often.. And what's worst, is that it doesn't renew the connection...
[01:27] <astro76> Cuzz, are you saying you want to connect the linux machine to the winxp machine, and have winxp share the connection? or do you have a router?
[01:27] <iceek> I have problem with page loading from some servers with firefox and opera. ubuntu 7.04, cable internet, routet/gateway, home network, notebook works well on same system (ubuntu live cd). Can someone help me please?
[01:28] <Lamego> jyrkililja, which ubuntu version, which network type ?
[01:28] <mirf> kajiura06, maybe - some good ideas on here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=132370&highlight=old+computer
[01:28] <kajiura06> 10 gig
[01:28] <jyrkililja> lamego 7.04 Server
[01:28] <jyrkililja> Network type is ethernet
[01:28] <jyrkililja> And router is Airport Extreme
[01:28] <mirf> kajiura06, I did a minimal erver install once and added things as I needed them, fluxbox :D
[01:29] <Cuzz> Astro79: Connect the linux machine to the XP machine and have the XP sahre the connection yes. No routers
[01:29] <astro76> kajiura06, that must be your hard drive size, not your memory
[01:29] <kajiura06> so the errors i get is due to low specs?
[01:29] <alsa> Lamego :  still working on that
[01:29] <Lamego> jyrkililja, that is very odd, it must be related to your network device driver (assuming you don't have a physical network problem)
[01:29] <lieter> ironmatar, winedoors
[01:29] <Lamego> alsa, if the wlan interface is listed, you have a problem with the "network-manager" utility
[01:30] <Lamego> I don't have knowledge how does it get the network interfaces cards list
[01:30] <alsa> i downloaded the tar
[01:30] <jyrkililja> Lamego: I'll try another network card later today...
[01:30] <Lamego> alsa, uh ?
[01:30] <Lamego> the tar ?
[01:30] <alsa> tar of the Network manager
[01:30] <alsa> to try to reinstall using tar ball
[01:30] <astro76> Cuzz, that's mostly a windows issue, you need to setup Internet Connection Sharing in windows. Then you either need a switch/hub, or a cross-over ethernet cable
[01:30] <Lamego> alsa, you are on ubuntu, things should be reinstalled from repositories
[01:30] <Lamego> not from source tarballs
[01:30] <alsa> but the idea here ! is that it said that wireless tools is either installed incorrectly or that it is not installed
[01:30] <alsa> but it installed
[01:31] <alsa> Lamego , Im an old fart when it comes to linux
[01:31] <alsa> i love tars
[01:31] <iceek> I have problem with page loading from some servers with firefox and opera. ubuntu 7.04, cable internet, routet/gateway, home network, notebook works well on same system (ubuntu live cd). Can someone help me please?
[01:31] <kajiura06> can someone help me with some error messages
[01:32] <Lamego> alsa, the idea here is, or you are experiencing a bug, or you have someone changed some configuration or some system file on a way it shouldn't
[01:32] <Lamego> erm, you or
[01:32] <Cuzz> ive done that, and the two comps are connected. Ubuntu can see the XP machine but not vica versa. Ubuntu cant access anything on the xp machine either. I did the whole connection sharing on windows
[01:32] <alsa> yeah
[01:32] <astro76> Cuzz, you can ping each machine from the other?
[01:32] <ironmatar> lietr and what is winedoors?
[01:32] <Lamego> the package is installed, and should be ok, you can reinstall with 1 command, if you believe the problem is with the installation
[01:32] <wailer> kajiura06: don't ask for help just ask
[01:33] <Cuzz> im complete noob soz , how can i ping quick
[01:33] <LiberCogito> Is there anyway to make gnome do the right click for a full menu like xfce does?
[01:33] <wailer> if someone can they will
[01:33] <Lamego> installing an already installed packaged, from a source tarball, means you are very experienced, and it doesn't match with your question here, or you are doing something the way you should not, which would explain your problem on the first place ;)
[01:33] <astro76> Cuzz, ping IP, e.g. ping 192.168.1.5, from a terminal in linux and from the command prompt in windows
[01:35] <iceek> I have problem with page loading from some servers with firefox and opera. ubuntu 7.04, cable internet, routet/gateway, home network, notebook works well on same system (ubuntu live cd). Can someone help me please?
[01:36] <wailer> LiberCogito: gnome.org will know
[01:36] <Cuzz> from windows command prompt: Packets sent 4, packets received 4
[01:37] <wailer> iceek: are they newer browsers on ubuntu
[01:40] <iceek> wailer: i dont think so
[01:40] <msikma> 20 translations done, 198 to go...
[01:40] <Cuzz> after finding both system's IP adresses, i was able to successfully ping each other, so the connections work
[01:40] <Drk_Guy> Guys
[01:40] <Drk_Guy> nah
[01:40] <Drk_Guy> forget it
[01:40] <iceek> I have problem with page loading from some servers with firefox and opera. ubuntu 7.04, cable internet, routet/gateway, home network, notebook works well on same system (ubuntu live cd). Can someone help me please?
[01:41] <wailer> iceek: new things have bugs - it must be a setting in your browsers
[01:42] <wailer> iceek: or other progs taking up cpu
[01:42] <astro76> iceek, what do you mean by "notebook works well on same system (ubuntu live cd)"?
[01:44] <iceek> wailer: I try connect notebook same way, and firefox run with no problem
[01:44] <crazysoilder> hi!
[01:45] <jyrkililja> Hi crazysoilder!

[01:46] <wailer> iceek: cd browser settings may be different to other browsers
[01:46] <ironmatar> er caont
[01:47] <wailer> iceek: is it only with certain sites - traffic?
[01:47] <iNoob> I tried to make a seccond partition on my macbook but i don't get it. Even with the terminal command he gives errors. And i have enough space
[01:48] <wailer> iceek: from here can only suggest things to try
[01:48] <iNoob> Can someone help me with my ubuntu 7.04 installation?
[01:48] <iceek> wailer: firefox loads some page with np (ubuntu.com), some load "half way", some doesnt load at all
[01:48] <alsa> Lamego : get this
[01:48] <alsa> im missing GTK2
[01:48] <alsa> libgtk

[01:49] <wailer> iceek: np?
[01:49] <ironmatar> i fel like ripping out my hair over all this  command like programming
[01:49] <iceek> wailer: i try disable ipv6, didnt help
[01:49] <dot> hello, is it possible to get shockwave player on ubuntu
[01:49] <iceek> wailer: np means no problem
[01:50] <Cuzz>  Hi, can some help me connect to the internet. I have 2 computers. The windows xp comp is connected to the net and i would like to connect ubuntu via lan to the internet. Im using 7.04. PLS THANX
[01:50] <wailer> iceek: check permissions for sites - that might be restricting things
[01:50] <ironmatar> why wont ubuntu work with mouse clicks and the like arrrgh!
[01:50] <Cuzz> Connect the linux machine to the XP machine and have the XP sahre the connection. No routers
[01:50] <iceek> wailer: i always did
[01:50] <larson9999> linux rocks!
[01:50] <wailer> iceek: anything running in other windows will you browse/
[01:51] <wailer> *while
[01:51] <bhuvan__> i get this error while i am upgrading my laptop http://swechabox.selfip.org/~bhuvan/error
[01:51] <wailer> *?
[01:51] <larson9999> dot, if i need shockwave sites i use wine+firefox
[01:52] <dot> larson9999: is that the only way to get habboraiding?
[01:52] <EvilBro> Suppose one would be stupid enough to even consider 'tampering' with the source code of things like nautilus... how would one (more concrete: myself) go about this so ubuntu isn't completely ruined when something goes wrong?
[01:52] <larson9999> dot, don't know what habboraiding is
[01:52] <dot> i was at my friends computer yesterday and we closed the pool
[01:52] <dot> aa ok
[01:52] <ithiel> Don't Forget the Big Habbo Raid on September Eleventh! Be there and declare closure!
[01:52] <dot> well thanks alot
[01:52] <dot> ithiel: we will close the pool desu
[01:52] <dot> :D
[01:53] <wailer> Evilbro: on an old computer first like I do:)
[01:53] <iceek> wailer: no nothing, in other browser (konqeror) run all pages
[01:53] <ithiel> desu desu desu desu desu
[01:54] <wailer> iceek: so if it is only those browsers then there must be a setting issue - go throughn them again slooowly
[01:55] <EvilBro> wailer: I actually have one of those, so that might even be an option. Still suppose I have set it up, how do I avoid frying the setup the moment I recompile nautilus? (or am I being too paranoid here? I know I might be, but that's just the trauma of being followed all these years :) )
[01:56] <wailer> EvilBro: "linux is for the curious mind" - pcman is a tabbed file browser - for something different
[01:57] <wailer> EvilBro: break & fix - you'll learn more!!
[01:57] <EvilBro> wailer: well, yes, but there is also the thing about testing the depth of the water with both feet...
[01:58] <Actionman> i install googleearth.bin its crashing how do i remove i tried ( sudo apt-get remove GoogleEarth) and its not there but the icon is there  Couldn't find package GoogleEarth
[01:59] <larson9999> just break, you'll teach others more.
[02:00] <Matic`Makovec> Hm, maybe a bit not-Ubuntu question but anyway. What system (binary, hexadecimal...) is when you have for example this: 01100101 ? :x
[02:00] <wailer> EvilBro: like anything you want to fix/change - do one thing first then test - if it all goes pear shaped on a comp with no important stuff on it - you lose 1/2hr reloading ubuntu
[02:00] <Hobbsee> Matic`Makovec: binary
[02:00] <astinus> binary
[02:01] <EvilBro> What would be a light linux with gnome distro? (my just dubbed 'experiment computer' is oldish :) )
[02:01] <astinus> Matic`Makovec: thats 101 in binary
[02:01] <Matic`Makovec> Okay, thanks. Would any of you know how to translate it to "human-readable"?
[02:01] <Matic`Makovec> I foprgot how to calcualte :x
[02:01] <Matic`Makovec> Oh, thanks :)
[02:02] <kekk> I'm having problems connecting to my wifi network. iwconfig sees the correct mac of the router but cannot connect.. I just installed ubuntu, had xubuntu on it previously and under that the device worked fine
[02:02] <larson9999> EvilBro, my preference for such computers is xubuntu.
[02:02] <inbitado34> where do i install a splash screen ?
[02:02] <inbitado34> wich  folder ?
[02:02] <EvilBro> larson9999: but that doesn't have Gnome, right?
[02:02] <erUSUL> !info gnome-art | inbitado34
[02:02] <larson9999> EvilBro, no, but it's gnom-ish
[02:03] <ubotu> inbitado34: gnome-art: install GNOME themes from art.gnome.org. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2-5 (feisty), package size 26 kB, installed size 200 kB
[02:03] <wailer> EvilBro: gnome now uses lots of resources - that is why there is xubuntu
[02:03] <Matic`Makovec> astinus, may I ask how did you get this?
[02:03] <EvilBro> larson9999: but since I want to tamper with nautilus, not having gnome might be a bit of a problem...
[02:03] <astinus> Matic`Makovec: erm, conversion
[02:03] <larson9999> EvilBro, just try gnome
[02:03] <larson9999> EvilBro, just try i mean ubuntu then
[02:03] <EvilBro> I am running ubuntu
[02:03] <Matic`Makovec> Yeah, but how does that go? I forgot it, that's the problem :X
[02:04] <Cuzz> hi, my network between my XP and ubuntu PC works fine, how can  share the XP internet connection. PLS thanx.
[02:04] <astinus> Matic`Makovec: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_numeral_system
[02:04] <larson9999> EvilBro, on that machine?
[02:04] <EvilBro> No
[02:04] <Matic`Makovec> Alright, I'll check, thank you
[02:04] <EvilBro> silly me
[02:04] <kekk> !info wifi
[02:04] <ubotu> Package wifi does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[02:05] <astro76> !wifi | kekk
[02:05] <ubotu> kekk: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:05] <kekk> thanks
[02:05] <astro76> you can also /msg ubotu whatever :)
[02:05] <kekk> oh, ok
[02:06] <inbitado34> ubutu, i have art-manager installed, but if i want to install a personal splash screen i don't know how
[02:07] <jscinoz> what can i do if a package requires a certain dependancy, but this depandancy has been renamed (the program in question requries libqt3c102-mt, which is now replaced simply by libqt3-mt)
[02:07] <po> is there a tool in ubuntu, which can download a website completely?
[02:07] <inbitado34> erUSUL, i have art-manager installed, but if i want to install a personal splash screen i don't know how
[02:08] <Slart> po: wget/curl are great
[02:08] <Slart> po: those are console based... there might be others with a gui if you want that
[02:09] <Cuzz> How can i share my XP internet connection with another ubuntu PC?
[02:09] <john> hello
[02:09] <Cuzz> anyone?
[02:09] <Cuzz> please
[02:09] <Slart> Cuzz: you want to know what settings to do on the XP computer?
[02:10] <john> Cuzz: Have you tried using a router and connecting both the XP and Ubuntu computers to it?
[02:10] <Cuzz> anything that will help. I did setup internet sharing on the XP
[02:11] <Cuzz> no, isnt thereomething easier
[02:11] <Slart> Cuzz: then the ubuntu-machine should work as it is.. might want to do a reboot (easiest way) to get a new ip-number etc
[02:11] <Slart> Cuzz: unless you've done some special configuration on the ubuntu machine
[02:11] <Cuzz> i cant connect directly to the internet with my Ibrst connection because i need to get packages from the net to make it work, how ridiculous is that...
[02:12] <po> Slart: is it easy to download a website with wget, or should I write a script or sth?
[02:12] <keithhhhh> what is the best dvd iso burning software for ubuntu 5.10?
[02:12] <john> Cuzz: oh, i see. like if you're behind a college network... and they only provide said software for Windows (or, maybe OSX, but still no linux)
[02:12] <Cuzz> i connect to the internet with Iburst on the XP machine, and would like to share the connection over a simple lan connection
[02:14] <elkbuntu> po, i believe wget has a recursive flag
[02:14] <ptuten> Good morning all
[02:15] <john> Cuzz: i'm sorry, i don't think i'll be able to help other than to recommend searching on microsoft.com (since you want configuration settings for XP)
[02:15] <ptuten> Would someone please refer me to a noob channel?
[02:15] <Cuzz> i need conf setting for ubuntu
[02:15] <mirf> ptuten, #noobuntu
[02:16] <elkbuntu> ptuten, this is a channel for all levels of advice. what do you need help with?
[02:16] <Cuzz> or a program like pppoe  that worked perfectly on 6.10
[02:16] <elkbuntu> mirf, dont tease the newbies
[02:16] <ptuten> Thanks mirf! just new to the scene and didnt want to bog a channel that wasnt meant for noobs
[02:16] <mirf> sorry
[02:16] <mirf> ptuten, no I was kidding
[02:17] <elkbuntu> ptuten, the channel mirf said does not exist
[02:17] <mirf> whoops
[02:17] <john> mirf: lmao that's just mean...
[02:17] <Cuzz> but now i need extra packages from the net in 7.04 tin order to connect to the net... ridiculous, so now im trying to connect via the xp machine
[02:17] <mirf> I'm so sorry
[02:17] <elkbuntu> ptuten, if you ask your question, someone might be able to answer :)
[02:17] <elkbuntu> i have not yet refined the skill of 'mind reading' unfortunately ;)
[02:17] <po> If I switch to a tty-console in ubuntu and exceed the screen height by writing commands, it doesn't scroll down automatically and thus I can't see the commands that I wrote. how can I fix it?
[02:17] <john> puten: this channel has many very friendly and talented people. i'm sure if you ask your question, they'll be happy to help to the best of their ability
[02:17] <po> elkbuntu: thanks
[02:18] <elkbuntu> po, according to wget --help, it's -r, but you may want to read the manual page for fuller usage explanations
[02:18] <ptuten> Thanks, I appreciate the info
[02:18] <ptuten> will hang out and just try to read the posts and learn something
[02:18] <john> er. i gotta go. later all.
[02:18] <po> elkbuntu, ok I'll take a look at it :)
[02:19] <elkbuntu> ptuten, that's an excellent idea :)
[02:19] <ptuten> Thanks John!
[02:20] <ptuten> No major issues, just wanting to learn. Just installed 7.04 and I am very impressed whit how Ubuntu has come along
[02:20] <ptuten> Everything works right out of the box on this ThinkPad R40
[02:21] <ptuten> cept a Cisco Aironet 350, but I think it is just a matter or an id10t error
[02:21] <elkbuntu> ptuten, is that a wireless card?
[02:22] <ptuten> Yes it is, but I am hardwired in right now.
[02:22] <ptuten> Have read several post that say it should work out of the box
[02:22] <ptuten> so I believe that it is just an issue with me being a noob
[02:23] <ptuten> Well hate to hit and run, but must do so. I will definetely stop back in again!
[02:23] <elkbuntu> ptuten, unfortunately, uniform wireless support is one of those things that is really difficult to get cooperation from vendors on. they like to change components even within model numbers, which can make life really hard, especially when they change it to a chip that is proprietary :(
[02:23] <Cuzz> ag poes man. Ok so in this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MobileWirelessBroadband
[02:24] <vlt> Hello. I got a really unexpected NFS problem. The client (Dapper) wants to open "/mnt/server/file" but "file" on the server (Feisty) is a symlink to the server's "/mnt/somewhere/realfile". Now *the client* tries to follow "/mnt/somewhere/realfile" which obviously doens't exist. How can I force the server to deliver "realfile" to the cient?
[02:24] <ptuten> Thanks for the info and the link
[02:24] <Cuzz> it says: sudo apt-get install libc6-dev, but i dont have internet so (hoe de fok) how do install libc6-dev? Please  ek vra fokken mooi
[02:24] <ptuten> Later all!!
[02:24] <elkbuntu> ptuten, lists.ubuntu.com is the mailing list collection too, reading archives is often useful
[02:24] <elkbuntu> drat
[02:26] <MrCollins> anyone awake? :)
[02:26] <snyp0r> Hello, i got a problem with my soundcard (soundblaster audigy platinum ex), the emu10k1 driver was installed and doesnt seem to work. Now i wanted to change to another one but i cant because unloading the driver was blocked by whatever, i dont get any information
[02:26] <Cuzz> nee almal is deur die kak man
[02:26] <kekk> yep, MrCollins :
[02:26] <read_only> I am trying to make a live cd in Ubuntu using the Debian Live CDmethod. I cannot find the "live-helper" package though. Does anyone know how I can get this?
[02:27] <[diablo] > Hi, guys, is anyone here been running Ubuntu 7.04 64 bit desktop sucessfully for a while please?
[02:27] <tinos> Been going good for about a day. But before that I had problems because my SWAP wasn't big enough.
[02:28] <nandemonai> [diablo] : I have a 64bit server with XFCE if that helps...
[02:28] <[diablo] > yep
[02:28] <[diablo] > nandemonai, i've just bought a box with a Intel Quad in it
[02:28] <ironmatar> ok whats going on
[02:28] <nandemonai> [diablo] : It's been rock solid since the upgrade so I can't complain.
[02:28] <[diablo] > got 32bit installed at the moment, but thinking of changing to 64bit
[02:28] <nandemonai> [diablo] : Ah, this is AMD 64bit.
[02:29] <Slart> po: did you get anywhere with wget? sorry I was off... was fixing dinner
[02:29] <GNine> some kid reversed engineered the iphone already
[02:29] <[diablo] > I'm wondering how much preformance I lose ... I've compiled the latest kernel off kernel.org and am running that, not that that is gonna make a difference
[02:29] <oranye1> #malang
[02:29] <primski> f00k iphone
[02:29] <primski> :p
[02:29] <GNine> heh
[02:30] <[diablo] > nandemonai, how u manage things like Flash?
[02:30] <mirf> primski, I couldn't agree more
[02:30] <GNine> dinner?  its breakfast here
[02:30] <kekk> lunch!
[02:31] <nandemonai> [diablo] : Well I've found it performs better but like I said it's mainly a server.  I've not yet come across a 64bit exclusive problem. Flash isn't installed so can't help you there. I'm pretty sure you can run 32bit libs so you can get stuff working that wouldn't otherwise.
[02:31] <bullgard4> Is it true that 'Compiler Type and Version' of Ubuntu 7.04 is gcc-4.1?
[02:31] <primski> mirf ;) nokia was making better phones 5 years ago, well except the touch screen, which is crap anyways :p
[02:31] <Slart> GNine: well.. clearly your watch is broken.. with the earth being flat and all ;)
[02:31] <nandemonai> [diablo] : Dont hold me to that though, I just remember seeing something about it a while ago.
[02:31] <[diablo] > nandemonai, yeah, I run Ubuntu Server extensivly at our offices....
[02:31] <GNine> flat, eh?  think broccoli
[02:31] <vanberge> would anyone like to help me out?  i just want to enable the desktop effects on 7.10.  when i enable them, i lose my window borders.   im running an nvidia 6200 with nvidia-glx-new
[02:31] <[diablo] > but just wanted to push this machine to its max
[02:31] <mirf> primski, yeah people are jumping on the touch screen thing, even these heat sensitive buttons like lg chocolate or samsung e900 - what's the point?
[02:32] <GNine> ;-)
[02:32] <wanger> vlt: http://uw714doc.sco.com/en/SDK_sysprog/_Using_Symbolic_Links_with_NFS.html just read this cause i was interested, seems to explain it, no use?
[02:32] <nandemonai> [diablo] : Well I'd say give it a go, backup of course. If things go sour you can always revert to 32bit.
[02:32] <[diablo] > aye
[02:32] <masterloki> I am having problems getting deluge to work in feisty
[02:32] <[diablo] > I'll dd the partitions
[02:33] <nandemonai> Wise move. ;)\
[02:33] <ironmatar>  iv spent the last week reading faq's and the like and guides  i use my comp for entrtainment  and id really like to get back to my game,  im really sick of being pointed to cryptic guides and faq's that lis 3-5 diffrent ways of doing something  and no answer is really right except for whatever one works  and everyone i talked to about getting linus for my comp said Ubuntu is easy  well im not finding it so. im not a program
[02:33] <[diablo] > I've got 1TB of storage so I'm sure I can find somewhere to put em
[02:33] <predaeus> vanberge, http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?s=084b4d1886a70f63de3f1a067f5a78f2&showtopic=580879&st=0&p=588779280&#entry588779280
[02:34] <nandemonai> ironmatar: What game out of curiosity?
[02:34] <bullgard4> Ist es richtig, da bei Ubuntu 7.04 Compiler-Typ = gcc und Version = 4.1 ist?
[02:34] <ironmatar> eve-online
[02:34] <Slart> ironmatar: what are you doing that requires you to run off into faq-land?
[02:34] <nandemonai> Ouch, good luck.

[02:34] <Slart> oh.. running games..
[02:34] <^rike^> hi! When I try to eject a dvd i get the message "Cannot eject the volume"; If i try to eject again, the dvd gets ejected. Any suggestion to fix this?
[02:34] <po> Slart: Thank you Slart, wget works very good!
[02:34] <predaeus> bullgard4, try "gcc --version"
[02:35] <nandemonai> ironmatar: Ubuntu is easy. Getting cross platform games working is not. And don't expect it to perform to well either.
[02:35] <Slart> po: nice.. there's a looooong manual with switches, switches, more switches and other stuff.. I guess you found that =)
[02:35] <ironmatar>  i hav wine installed  but i just dont get cli interfaceing very well
[02:35] <nandemonai> ironmatar: Such is life trying to run closed source games I'm afraid.
[02:35] <wanger> vlt: appears that realfile needs to be inside the /mnt/server resource, anyway, else the client won't be able to follow it
[02:36] <nandemonai> ironmatar: well let's see.. you have winecfg to set it up from memory and far as I remember you just install and the $wine game.exe
[02:36] <Slart> ironmatar: if someone told you that you'd be gaming happily ever after on your linux machine I think they lied.. some games work some of the time.. most doesn't
[02:36] <vanberge> predaeus, that looks similar - but im not using fusion
[02:36] <predaeus> vanberge, as far as I know that option was always a requirement.
[02:36] <bullgard4> predaeus: Thank you for advising.
[02:37] <vanberge> predaeus, copy that.  tyvm.  :-)
[02:37] <Slart> ironmatar: if you're looking for something a bit more polished I'd recommend taking a look at the commercial versions.. cedega and others.. I think they are a bit easier to get started
[02:37] <iceek> Anyone has problem with showing pages in firefox from various servers??
[02:37] <allen> hi guys
[02:37] <ironmatar> id use cedega  but they want a cc card
[02:37] <Prowler_1> what's the command for diecoverynd monitor H&V-Sync data?
[02:38] <Prowler_1> !sync
[02:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sync - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:38] <GNine> i think of linux in terms of computing ... not gaming.. i have game consoles for that
[02:38] <ironmatar> and money every dam month instead of a program i could flat buy and dload
[02:38] <GNine> (shrug)
[02:38] <Slart> ironmatar: they want money.. =) no other ways of paying?
[02:38] <wailer> iceek: still not working hah - lol
[02:39] <wailer> *ha
[02:39] <Slart> iceek: give us an url that doesn't work for you and we'll try it
[02:39] <iceek> wailer: yeah, you're right :(
[02:39] <wailer> iceek: which page?
[02:40] <ironmatar> they want money for a better product fine  but theyr rinnign as some kind os subscription  which i cant afford nor do i have the cc card for it
[02:40] <iceek> Slart: well www.pctuning.cz for example, but it doesn't matter, pages work well I see them on second PC
[02:40] <Asche> HI All
[02:41] <fruitbatJim> when I use the'users' command from the shell I get my login name twice...why would this be?
[02:41] <wanger> Asche yo

[02:41] <Slart> iceek: ok.. apart from being in some weird language it seems ok
[02:41] <Asche>  GM Wanger

[02:41] <astro76> fruitbatJim, different terminals, etc... type 'who' to see what they are
[02:41] <wanger> =)
[02:41] <fruitbatJim> also there seems to be remembered searches in google that I'm sure I didn't make
[02:42] <iceek> simply on my desktop Firefox and Opera does't show pages from various server, on second PC (same system - ubuntu 7.04, same install everything works well0
[02:42] <wailer> Iceek: it's an issue on the one computer - that's where to look - lol
[02:42] <read_only> hello all. I have a question regarding make-live on Ubuntu
[02:43] <wanger> paal: click on the little network monitor icon in the top right corner of your screen, next to the clock, select your network from the list, and input your WEP or whatever
[02:43] <read_only> when I use make-live on ubuntu it does generate the iso file. Any pointers?
[02:43] <GNine> hmm.. got some nu updates
[02:43] <wailer> iceek: router settings??
[02:43] <iceek> wailer I don't think it is HW problem, may by driver problem
[02:43] <peraxmty> Iceek: If you do a wget on the problem page and then open the resulting file on firefox does it open?
[02:43] <paal> wanger, i tried that, but i cant find any networks..
[02:44] <iceek> peraxmty" yes this way works well
[02:44] <paal> wanger, maby i have to install some drivers for the network card?
[02:44] <arturo_on_rails> join gentoo
[02:44] <wanger> paal: then it's probably a driver problem
[02:44] <read_only> also I cannot seem to use apt-get install live-helper to install the package.
[02:45] <iceek> wailer: what exatly, I agree it can be my problem ...
[02:45] <paal> wanger, how can i find out wich card i have? and how can i install the drivers?
[02:45] <arturo_on_rails> Hi guys, the ubuntu kernel recognises my wireless card natively (WG511 softmac) via the p54 driver (I believe)  Where can I get the sources of that?
[02:45] <wailer> iceek: going to look at my router now
[02:46] <peraxmty> iceek: what kind of error message do you get in firefox or opera
[02:46] <wanger> paal: where does your card go? pcmcia, usb, pci?
[02:47] <GNine> u probably got integrated
[02:47] <jthomas> Hi, whenever I start firefox, it comes up with the start new session, restore old. How can I fix this?
[02:47] <paal> wanger, i dont know but its integrated somehow.. im not that familiar with laptops...,
[02:47] <lieter> hi, quick question: i've just got me a switch with a COM(serial) interface for setup... what program can i use to see that terminal?
[02:47] <iceek> peraxmty: nothing exatli, timeout, means still Transfering data from ...
[02:48] <astro76> lieter, gtkterm, minicom
[02:48] <lieter> thnx :)
[02:48] <wailer> iceek: maybe not router as all 3 of my comps use the same settings - all work the same
[02:48] <wanger> paal: that's cool, in a terminal, type " lspci -v | less "
[02:48] <FordCortina> does anybody know what the tux-mac gtk theme is called?
[02:48] <peraxmty> iceek; are you using a proxy server?
[02:48] <wanger> paal: and erm... go looking
[02:49] <pawan> alcohol 120 for ubuntu
[02:49] <iceek> peraxmty: I try look by wireshark, what problem is and some kind of wrong checksum message I watched there :(
[02:49] <simonlb> anyone use ekiga softphone?
[02:49] <pawan> or ultraiso for ubuntu
[02:49] <wailer> iceek: is it like the pages time out?
[02:49] <iceek> I don't use proxy
[02:50] <iceek> wailer: yes , exactly
[02:50] <peraxmty> iceek: good idea

[02:50] <kazol> I just installed jre and I can't find it anywhere.
[02:50] <kazol> Is it supposed to be in /usr?
[02:51] <GNine> whats JRE
[02:51] <finalbeta> kazol: in synaptic you can see what files where installed with a package.
[02:51] <kazol> Java Runtime Environment
[02:52] <GNine> then look for java.. ur not gonna see jre
[02:52] <iceek> wailer: I have SMC router, but same PC work on microsoft os adn also on older Gentoo distribution for example, newest Gentoo live CD has same problem ...
[02:52] <kazol> I'll try reinstalling it and see what msgs I get.
[02:52] <finalbeta> kazol: I gave you the solution.
[02:52] <peraxmty> Can anyone reccomend a good site for GTK themes? will those change my window manager decorations too?
[02:53] <finalbeta> but go ahaid and re install
[02:53] <kazol> finalbeta: I have installed other java runtimes but there is a specific one that I manually installed.
[02:53] <nivekc1> does anyone know wh everytime i watch a viseo on the net it is tinted blue?

[02:54] <wailer> Iceek: been reading - in network on bum comp what is the setting - static or ...
[02:54] <wanger> peraxmty : perhaps check out gnome-themes-extras first ( sudo apt-get install gnome-themes-extras ), if there's nothing you like there check out gnome-look.org
[02:55] <GNine> oops find  (lol)
[02:55] <paal> what now wanger?
[02:55] <iceek> wailer: there is dhcp on my SMC router ...
[02:55] <nandemonai> Cuzzi: Yeah, it's finiky though.
[02:55] <nandemonai> Cuzzi: XP can act as a gateway/dhcp server.
[02:55] <jthomas> How can I add resolutions to ubuntu?
[02:55] <wailer> iceek: but on the box
[02:56] <nandemonai> Cuzzi: Then just use dhcp on the ubuntu box.
[02:56] <vanberge> so... if i lost both of my panels for some reason, any way to re-create them?  i'm kind of stuck.  Not sure how desktop effects removed my panels, but oh well.

[02:57] <iceek> wailer: Automatic configuration (DHCP)
[02:57] <kemistor> is there an nvidia kernel available or is my graphics card automatically detected?

[02:59] <wanger> paal: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092 semms to be a very complete HOW-TO to get it working, it uses ndiswrapper which allows you to use your windows drivers for it, do you have those available? a windows partition?
[02:59] <kazol> When I look for "java", all I get is:

[03:00] <peraxmty> kazol: it doesn't seem to be installed
[03:00] <wanger> paal: actually, that's not even necessary, it provides a link to the drivers for download
[03:01] <wanger> paal: so erm... yeah, i don't really help you anymore, just try to follow the guide and come back if you have a question or a specific problem
[03:02] <wanger> paal: can't* help anymore
[03:02] <nRkiSt> Simonlb: One of those is probably an onboard card, the others might be mixer chips onyour installed cards
[03:03] <simonlb> what are mixer chips exactly?
[03:04] <ailean> guys, is there a way to quickly switch between keyboard layouts in GNOME?  I regularly type in both english and spanish and it's a bit of a pain to have to go into preferences each time.
[03:04] <wailer> nRkiSt: what is it doing/not doing
[03:04] <nRkiSt> Simonlb: for mixing sound.
[03:04] <fsckr> im trying to mount a share permanently in fstab and one of the mounts on the windows machine is My Documents.  What do I use in fstab for the space between My Documents because I know im not suppose to have space
[03:04] <vanberge> anybody up for helping me enable desktop effects? :-(  i thought i had made progress but i cannot even enable them.  I was able to enable them before and just not show the window borders.
[03:05] <nRkiSt> wailer:  I have no sound at all. physical connections are ok. see my post at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34986/
[03:05] <wailer> Ailean: are you on feisty?
[03:06] <simonlb> hmm okay... i wonder because i think alsa is defaulting to the wrong device for audio input
[03:06] <GNine> !sound
[03:06] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[03:06] <Zemus> y halo thar! Quick question. :)
[03:06] <kazol> peraxmty: I used the cmd "sudo ./jre-6u2-linux-i586.bin"
[03:06] <fsckr> anyone?
[03:06] <vanberge> brb restarting x i guess
[03:07] <Zemus> I am out of blank cds. I have an old version of ubuntu. Can I install it, and then upgrade to the latest version without burning new isos?
[03:07] <JC_Denton_> zemus, yes
[03:07] <Zemus> JC_Denton_, sweeet. Is it easy?
[03:07] <Cuzzi> nandemoan: How do i setup the XP gateway/dhcp server and how can i use DHCP on the ubuntu pc?
[03:07] <Meyvn> why aren't there any good bittorrent clients for linux?

[03:07] <Meyvn> azureus is giving crappy speeds
[03:07] <Meyvn> compared to utorrent
[03:07] <JC_Denton_> zemus. yes simply use update manager. update all software first then hit the update ubuntu button

[03:08] <Zemus> JC_Denton_, awesome, will it be exactly like installing the newest version from scratch? The end result, that is?
[03:08] <Meyvn> Zemus: perhaps something is off with my config, that's the only thing I can think off
[03:08] <Zemus> Meyvn, .... I'm quite positive you didn't mean to send that to me xD
[03:08] <Meyvn> Zemus: I did ;)
[03:09] <Zemus> Meyvn, where did that come from? :/
[03:09] <simonlb> how do you change the default audio input device?
[03:09] <jyrkililja> Another question: How to configure ubuntu to sync date & time from a server. The Ubuntu installation is server, so no GUI is usable.
[03:09] <Meyvn> Zemus: with regards to azureus
[03:09] <JC_Denton_> zemus.. its recommended to burn a new cd but it should just work. After updating I did have some k/b probs but if theres no other option...
[03:09] <Zemus> hmm. :/
[03:09] <Zemus> I'll just buy some at the walmart, I guess.
[03:10] <Slart> jyrkililja: check out ntp.. I don't know the exact steps

[03:12] <ashu18> My Ubuntu quiet splash isn't working and it's supposedly because of some monitor syncing problem
[03:13] <simonlb> i have an audio input device which works, but it only appears in SOME apps, and it's NOT the default as much as i'd like it to be.  any way to change that?
[03:13] <predaeus> vanberge, also ask in #ubuntu-effects it is the beryl/compiz etc. support channel
[03:13] <wailer> nRkiSt: those " quirk " lines are interesting... - try another pci slot maybe
[03:14] <vanberge> predaeus, i thought that was compiz fusion / beryl
[03:14] <predaeus> ?
[03:14] <vanberge> i am not using fusion- just enabling desktop effects... that's just 'compiz' right?
[03:14] <vanberge> not fusion
[03:15] <nRkiSt> wailer: i don't think it's a slot issue, as it worked in dapper at that slot and IRQ, but I'll give it a shot.
[03:15] <predaeus> vanberge, depends on your ubuntu version, I think gutsy has fusion already but is still in beta stage. anyways, ubuntu-effects is for them all.
[03:16] <Zemus> my roommate keeps calling me and threatening suicide
[03:17] <Zemus> Next time she does it, I'm going to ask her if I can have her ipod.
[03:17] <Bucketface> You really should
[03:17] <Bucketface> Or else
[03:17] <Zemus> haha
[03:17] <Bucketface> you should say "DO METEO"

[03:17] <Bucketface> "DO THE FRICKING METEO"
[03:17] <Zemus> hahahahaha
[03:17] <jscinoz> what can i do if a package requires a certain dependancy, but this depandancy has been renamed (the program in question requries libqt3c102-mt, which is now replaced simply by libqt3-mt)
[03:17] <Cuzz> How can i install gcc-3.4 and libc6-dev without an Internet connection on ubuntu?
[03:17] <Zemus> wait, I thought it was #ubuntu ... oh, no that's #ubuntu-offtopic with no language xD
[03:18] <Zemus> #defocus every now and then, but if you don't cuss too much you probably won't get in trouble.
[03:18] <Bucketface> Yeh...

[03:20] <iceek> wailer: I look like, I'm not only one who has this problem https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+question/5773
[03:20] <nRkiSt> walier: been there, done that, will try again after I switch slots

[03:21] <drhumanist> hi people
[03:21] <drhumanist> how can i ask a question? :)
[03:21] <Cuzz> How can i install gcc-3.4 and libc6-dev without an Internet connection on ubuntu?
[03:21] <drhumanist> is there a standardized way?
[03:21] <fsckr> drhumanist, just ask
[03:21] <drhumanist> oki :)
[03:21] <Zemus> ...
[03:22] <nRkiSt> wailer:  yeah its a beach
[03:22] <Zemus> the fact that he had to ask that makes me think he just came from #debian.
[03:22] <wailer> oops - ment iceek - duh
[03:22] <drhumanist> i activated "allow local adminstrator to log in" in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn,
[03:22] <drhumanist> now it just does not boot!
[03:22] <silvertip257> I'm trying to use Dia (Gnome Drawing Prgm) and the imgs that I import get shifted to the side when I export it to an img file.
[03:22] <drhumanist> the screen goes blank after Ubuntu logo dissappears

[03:23] <micken> hello
[03:23] <drhumanist> yeah i know it was a mistake of the worst kind :)

[03:24] <wailer> nRkiSt: sorry
[03:24] <drhumanist> i used the recovery mode... it stops in "activating networking" phase...
[03:24] <drhumanist> does this info help a bit :)?
[03:25] <Cuzz> How can i install gcc-3.4 and libc6-dev without an Internet connection on ubuntu?
[03:25] <drhumanist> if you tell me how to undone "allow local adminstrator to log in" setting..... it would be of great help
[03:25] <drhumanist> but from the terminal i guess... cos no graphical interface appears
[03:25] <fsckr> drhumanist, i wish i could tell you that....ive used ubuntu for nearly 2 years and I have never done that so I am not sure
[03:26] <nRkiSt> Wailer: I think its a driver issue
[03:26] <fsckr> i hardly doubt that caused your problem though
[03:26] <drhumanist> well i changed that setting one min ago and voila: it is not working :)
[03:26] <drhumanist> i do believe it is the cause :)
[03:27] <wailer> nRkiSt: I still only use comps that are a year or two old for that very reason
[03:27] <drhumanist> now i am back to shitty vista :(
[03:27] <custardspewer> hello, how can I install fusion-icon in ubuntu?

[03:36] <Karti> hi all, just a quick one, looking at an ASUS M2N4-SLI motherboard, anyone know of any issues with linux or kubuntu?
[03:36] <Grungebunny> what are the main differences between kde and gnome?
[03:36] <Actionman> ok,how do i remove it
[03:36] <Skiessi> when did it crash?
[03:36] <lastnode> Karti: look in the hardware listing
[03:36] <lastnode> !hardware
[03:36] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport

[03:36] <Karti> lastnode: many thanks

[03:37] <louis_> hallo
[03:37] <lastnode> Karti: not a problem. hope the mb works well. :)
[03:37] <danielig> Grungebunny ask about philosophy some like this some like the other, others again swear only by xfce or some other desktops
[03:37] <Karti> cheers!
[03:37] <Skiessi> Actionman: GoogleEarth.bin or the installed one?
[03:38] <Actionman> googleearth.bin
[03:38] <fsckr> drhumanist, did you ever give root a password?
[03:38] <fsckr> and can you get to a terminal at all
[03:38] <Anlar> Grungebunny: KDE = shuttle cockpit, good and loved by engineers. Gnome = desktop for real people.
[03:38] <danielig> is there anyone keen on helping me with this compiling error?
[03:38] <drhumanist> fsckr: no, that i remember
[03:38] <Skiessi> Actionman: what does it say?
[03:38] <Skiessi> like in the console/terminal
[03:39] <Grungebunny> anlar what if im somewhere between both? ;)
[03:39] <Actionman> when it crash it reboot
[03:39] <Skiessi> :O
[03:39] <danielig> install both Grungebunny
[03:39] <Skiessi> weird
[03:39] <drhumanist> fsckr: i can get to a terminal in recovery mode
[03:39] <fsckr> drhumanist, brb
[03:40] <Anlar> Grungebunny: I'd still go with Gnome, mixing them is bad.. you know, the software from KDE will look and feel different on gnome desktop and vice versa..
[03:40] <drhumanist> fsckr: okay
[03:40] <danielig> and decide what you need when and when you need what
[03:40] <fsckr> drhumanist, on your vista machine google gdm.conf see what you come up with i have to deal with my kids at the moment
[03:40] <drhumanist> fsckr: okay :) thanks anyway

[03:44] <defrysk> apt-cache search themes | grep gdm
[03:44] <professor> art-gnome.org?
[03:44] <javaJake> stone_, http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter/
[03:44] <sheka_3531> pennergame.de/ref.php?uid=3531
[03:44] <defrysk> artdotgnomedotorg
[03:44] <javaJake> stone_, then to install the theme, see http://art.gnome.org/faq.php#q7
[03:44] <wailer> lots at gnome.org
[03:44] <javaJake> wailer, well, it is gnome.org. :)
[03:44] <Grungebunny> art-gnome is a lil login screen manager that downloads a list of them from online to pick n choose from.. neat app
[03:45] <defrysk> its gnome-art
[03:45] <wailer> hehe
[03:45] <Grungebunny> yeah gnome-art
[03:45] <javaJake> Grungebunny, oh, nice... will have to look at that one
[03:45] <javaJake> Grungebunny, except it wants to install ruby. :?
[03:46] <Grungebunny> java dunno maybe it needs it?
[03:46] <javaJake> Nvm, right, got it
[03:46] <javaJake> It's a Java variant IIRC
[03:46] <yellow_chicken> what is x-mplayer2 plugin?  how to check what's install in my firefox? and how to install that x-mplayer2 plugin
[03:47] <javaJake> yellow_chicken, type "about:plugins" in the address bar and hit enter

[03:47] <professor> join/ #ubuntu-desktop
[03:47] <defrysk>  /join #blah
[03:47] <pawan> any new screensaver for ubuntu
[03:48] <javaJake> yellow_chicken, x-mplayer2 plugin handles "AVI video" with the extensions "avi, wma, wmv".
[03:48] <yellow_chicken> javaJake: ah.. i see,
[03:48] <custardspewer> hello, how can I install fusion-icon in ubuntu?
[03:48] <defrysk> a nice screensaver is a turned off screensaver
[03:48] <javaJake> custardspewer, did you get it at art.gnome.org?
[03:48] <pawan> hello
[03:48] <javaJake> defrysk, :P
[03:48] <yellow_chicken> javaJake: there's no x-mplayer2 listed in firefox
[03:48] <javaJake> pawan, hey
[03:48] <defrysk> ;p
[03:48] <arun> hello
[03:48] <custardspewer> javaJake, not sure what you mean
[03:49] <yellow_chicken> javaJake: my firefox can play wmv and wma, i think
[03:49] <javaJake> custardspewer, well, wherever you got it from should have docs on it.
[03:49] <custardspewer> I'm using Trevino repositories
[03:49] <javaJake> custardspewer, I'd point you to http://art.gnome.org/faq.php#q4 but I'm not sure if they are right for your situation
[03:50] <arun> something weird happens every time i start my computer. both my / and /home partitions are checked by fsck, because apparently they have not been checked for 3000 (or an insanely large number of days). I just installed Ubuntu like 2 hours ago, is there any way I can fix this?
[03:50] <wailer> arun: happens the first time only
[03:50] <javaJake> yellow_chicken, what is your real problem then?
[03:50] <javaJake> arun, yea, it'll happen every 30 days.
[03:50] <arun> wailer: i've restarted twice now, and both times it fsck-ed my partitions
[03:51] <javaJake> arun, is your clock getting reset?
[03:51] <arun> javaJake: i know it happens every 30 days, but i just installed it 2 hours ago
[03:51] <yellow_chicken> javaJake: i don't know.  but firefox telling me x-mplayer2 is needed, which package should i get?
[03:51] <javaJake> !codecs | yellow_chicken
[03:51] <ubotu> yellow_chicken: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[03:51] <ProNoob> arun, something borked with your onboard clock ?
[03:51] <wailer> arun: oops - only did it to me once each of the 4/5 times I've installed
[03:52] <custardspewer> yellow_chicken, you should either have totem-mozilla plugin or mplayer-mozilla plugin (both in fiesty repos) installed
[03:52] <wailer> arun: try again tomorrow after the date changes
[03:53] <arun> wailer: alright, will do
[03:53] <wailer> arun: lol
[03:53] <Lappy> anyone know what vpn-client to use, and how to use it to connect to a VPN server created on windows?
[03:53] <arun> also, i've set my fonts to use deja vu condensed.. but some apps like firefox, openoffice, etc use just deja vu sans (not condensed)
[03:54] <arun> any idea why?
[03:54] <arun> all programs don't do it, only firefox, thunderbird, openoffice
[03:55] <yellow_chicken> custardspewer: totem-mozilla lugin works, thanks
[03:55] <christian_> What MSN reminds most of Live Messenger for Ubuntu? =)
[03:56] <defrysk> christian_, that would be amsn
[03:56] <DIL> Does any know the max capacity for an RAR archive
[03:56] <defrysk> gaim/pidgin is better however
[03:56] <wailer> arun: have never changed fonts & never had probs - why do so many people change - the benefit?
[03:56] <christian_> defrysk: Can you add smileys and use them in amsn? As you did in live messenger.
[03:56] <arun> wailer: the condensed version just looks better :) to me, at least
[03:56] <flush> anyone using dd-wrt ?
[03:56] <arun> brb
[03:57] <defrysk> christian_, honestly do not know , never use amsn
[03:57] <christian_> defrysk: What do you use?
[03:57] <defrysk> why not use msttcorefonts for better firefox results ?
[03:57] <defrysk> christian_, I use pidin, gaim for 7.04
[03:57] <defrysk> pidgin*
[03:57] <javaJake> christian_, Pidgin (called Gaim in Ubuntu) is much much better than aMSN. Unless you want voice.
[03:58] <defrysk> christian_, gain should be installed nativly
[03:58] <javaJake> christian_, aMSN uses the ugle GTK v1 stuff.
[03:58] <javaJake> christian_, but Gaim... now that's purty. :)
[03:58] <javaJake> christian_, relatively, mind you
[03:58] <christian_> javajake & defrysk: Tnx, are pidgin and gaim the same?
[03:58] <defrysk> gaim is purdy an has multy protocol support
[03:58] <javaJake> christian_, yes
[03:58] <arman> can anyone tell me
[03:59] <christian_> javaJake: Why different names then? :p
[03:59] <defrysk> christian_, yes exept for the name , aol made them change it
[03:59] <arman> how can i access my dvdrom from
[03:59] <arman> shell
[03:59] <javaJake> christian_, AOL got all "ooo that's mine" on Gaim (see the aim part in Gaim?) and so they had to change their names
[03:59] <probono> hi all, is there a way to fine-tune the visual efects in gutsy?
[03:59] <defrysk> christian_, you can thank the legal peeps of aol for that
[03:59] <javaJake> christian_, 'course, didn't matter for the 4-5 years (how long's Gaim been around anyway?) that Gaim was around until just recently. *rolls eyes*
[04:00] <big_bang14> i get the error cannot open /dev/tty0 when i try to start the xserver using "xinit --". im trying to run mpx but i dont know much about the xserver. how can i fix this?
[04:00] <javaJake> Gaim and AOL had an agreement of some kind a while back too that was supposed to settle this, but AOL somehow squeezed around it
[04:00] <christian_> javajake & defrysk: Hehe, tnx for answer. I shall try it
[04:00] <defrysk> probono, /j #ubuntu+1
[04:00] <probono> thanks defrysk
[04:01] <cheeseboy>  how do i install network-admin? its not listed as that under apt
[04:01] <javaJake> christian_, np, btw, FYI, Gaim's File Transfer doesn't always work, so if you get transfers taht won't go or cancel instantly, then you know why. The reason's because Ubuntu uses wicked old versions of everything, so we're behind.
[04:01] <cheeseboy> christian_: debuntu has pidgin in their repo
[04:02] <kauer> javaJake: I use GAIM; how do I send a file to you? Not that I want to, I just want to know how :-)
[04:02] <christian_> javaJake: Didn't see that one comming, if that problem appears I know why.. tnx :)
[04:02] <javaJake> cheeseboy, I know, btu I don't touch 3rd party repos except for Wine, because 3rd party repos are targets for unsynced dependencies and whatnot.
[04:02] <christian_> cheeseboy: I'm using ubuntu
[04:03] <javaJake> kauer, In IM window, the menu Conversation -> Send File
[04:03] <christian_>     *  Windows
[04:03] <christian_>     * Source
[04:03] <christian_>     * Fedora Core
[04:03] <christian_>     * CentOS / RHEL
[04:03] <armanforum> hello everyone i need some help please
[04:03] <christian_> which one should i chouse?
[04:03] <javaJake> !paste | christian_
[04:03] <ubotu> christian_: 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)
[04:03] <kauer> javaJke: No such option...
[04:03] <armanforum> how can i mount my dvdrom
[04:03] <javaJake> kauer, in the IM window?
[04:03] <javaJake> kauer, in Gaim?
[04:03] <Vince> hi
[04:03] <javaJake> kauer, you have to actually open an IM with someone to transfer a file
[04:04] <Vince> need help please
[04:04] <christian_> javaJake & uboto: I forgot that, I will use it next time. But which one should I download from when I use ubuntu?
[04:04] <javaJake> armanforum, Ubuntu should do it for you
[04:04] <javaJake> armanforum, are you trying to play a DVD?
[04:04] <armanforum> no i am at shell now
[04:04] <armanforum> @ my other computer
[04:04] <kauer> javaJake: Well, I have a menu item "Conversation", another "Options" and a greyed out one "Send to". Under "Conversations" there is no "Send file". I'm not sure it's the "IM window" though, it's the window this conversation is appearing in...
[04:04] <javaJake> christian_, hrmmm
[04:05] <Vince> i have a silicon image raid controller host and, it isn't recognise by Ubuntu (7.10)
[04:05] <armanforum> i need the proper shell commadn
[04:05] <kauer> javaJake: OK, how do I start an IM with someone in GAIM?
[04:05] <javaJake> christian_, does CentOS link to a .deb file? Otherwise I'd say stay away from those downloads unless you can handle errors and whatnot
[04:05] <big_bang14> i get the error cannot open /dev/tty0 when i try to start the xserver using "xinit --". im trying to run mpx but i dont know much about the xserver. how can i fix this?
[04:05] <javaJake> kauer, in the conversation window is what I meant
[04:06] <n2diy> big_bang14: try startx
[04:06] <kauer> javaJake: Ah - if I right-click their name in the names list on the right, I get a mini-menu, and send file is on it.
[04:06] <lama_> hello world
[04:06] <javaJake> kauer, you must be using a different version of Gaim - I don't get that. :P
[04:06] <Cuzz> How can i install gcc-3.4 and libc6-dev without an Internet connection on ubuntu?
[04:06] <javaJake> lama_, welcome
[04:07] <christian_> javaJake: I don't find any deb.file at the page. Shall I download the version for Windows and drive it through Wine?
[04:07] <kauer> javaJake: IN help about I get "GAIM 2.0.0beta6", it came as part of Feisty.
[04:07] <lama_> i have problem with feisty and old pc with apm i ve disabled acpi and loaded apm but pc doesn power down
[04:07] <javaJake> kauer, Huh, same version as me. :P
[04:07] <javaJake> christian_, no
[04:07] <lama_> im sure apm is loaded and it worked fine with other oses
[04:08] <christian_> javaJake: why?
[04:08] <liftman> zalve
[04:08] <javaJake> christian_, because that's... well... OK, you _can_, but it'd be much better if you get it to run without wine
[04:09] <lama_> could anyone help me or give some hints what else should i do?
[04:09] <christian_> javaJake: Yeah, I know.. But seriousely, Isn't pidgin for ubuntu?
[04:10] <kauer> javaJake: In my "main window" I see this conversation. To the right is a narrow vertical pane containing the nicks of all those on this channel at the moment. If I right click on a name in that list, I get "IM", "Send file", "Ignore", "Info", "Add" and "Last Said" as options. I'm about to try sending you a (harmless, text) file as an experiment.
[04:10] <javaJake> christian_, well, cheeseboy has a repo that'll get it for you.
[04:10] <javaJake> kauer, oh oh oh
[04:10] <andreperrier> Hello.
[04:10] <javaJake> kauer, lol
[04:10] <javaJake> kauer, you are using Gaim in IRC. I get it now
[04:10] <andreperrier> My wireless signal is unbelievably weak.
[04:10] <javaJake> kauer, i mean, swap that - using IRC in Gaim
[04:11] <vanberge> does anyone use drivers from nvidia's site?  or always nvidia-glx* from synaptic
[04:11] <cheeseboy> javajake h/o my net is broke 9 packets transmitted, 4 received, 78% packet loss, time 18023ms
[04:11] <Millinium> re
[04:11] <Ultrabucket> Huh
[04:11] <andreperrier> Can anyone help me with my wireless signal strength please?
[04:12] <javaJake> cheeseboy, :)
[04:12] <javaJake> cheeseboy, OK
[04:12] <javaJake> christian_, OK, here's how to get Pidgin:
[04:12] <christian_> :)
[04:12] <javaJake> christian_, open System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[04:12] <Millinium> quel code pour recherche un dossier ou fichier ?
[04:12] <Dusk_> the ubuntu servers are too slow to upgrade...why is that??
[04:12] <andreperrier> Can anyone help me with my wireless signal strength please?
[04:13] <javaJake> andreperrier, move closer to the router? ;)
[04:13] <andreperrier> Millinium: nautilus
[04:13] <cheeseboy> javaJake: deb  http://repository.debuntu.org/ feisty multiverse deb-src http://repository.debuntu.org/ feisty multiverse
[04:13] <javaJake> andreperrier, you want to post what card you are using and what drivers
[04:13] <christian_> javaJake: Jupp, I'm there. :) Just continue writing
[04:13] <Millinium> non en console
[04:13] <javaJake> christian_, OK
[04:13] <andreperrier> JavaJake, there's only 20 feet of distance :(
[04:13] <drock> Anyone built a server cluster w/ ubuntu?
[04:13] <andreperrier> JavaJake, it is all D-Link
[04:13] <Cuzz> Someone PLS help!  Im stuck. I need gcc-3.4 and libc6-dev packages for iburst internet connection to work, but i need to download them. I cant share my XP internet connection because i need NFS and SAMBA. So now im stuck Any ideas?
[04:13] <javaJake> andreperrier, you want to post what card model you are using and what drivers
[04:13] <cheeseboy> javaJake: wget http://repository.debuntu.org/GPG-Key-chantra.txt -O- | sudo apt-key add -  to authenticate it
[04:14] <javaJake> cheeseboy, I know
[04:14] <andreperrier> JavaJake: It runs "out of the box".
[04:14] <javaJake> cheeseboy, thanks
[04:14] <javaJake> christian_, sorry, OK
[04:14] <christian_> javaJake: Heh, that'so k
[04:14] <javaJake> andreperrier, OK, what model number/name is it?
[04:14] <cheeseboy> np
[04:14] <snyp0r> Hello, i got a problem with my soundcard (soundblaster audigy platinum ex), the emu10k1 driver was installed and doesnt seem to work. Now i wanted to change to another one but i cant because unloading the driver was blocked by whatever
[04:14] <javaJake> christian_, open third-party software tab
[04:14] <kaue1> javaJake: well, starting a transfer borked GAIM big time. No other messages but mine appeared, the transfer didn't start, and I had to terminate GAIM and restart it. Yuk.
[04:14] <javaJake> christian_, click Add
[04:15] <kekk> any idea why my wifi doesn't connect automatically but rather I have to use sudo ifup rausb1 to get it working? it worked fine automatically in xubuntu.
[04:15] <wailer> Cuzz: only way is to find a connection to plug the box into to get what you need
[04:15] <javaJake> kaue1, yea IRC file transfer isn't very good in my experience
[04:15] <cheeseboy> so anyone know what pacckage i need to install network-admin?
[04:15] <javaJake> christian_, add this line: deb  http://repository.debuntu.org/ feisty multiverse
[04:15] <andreperrier> Router WBR-1310
[04:16] <christian_> javaJake: Done, next? :)
[04:16] <wailer> Cuzz: 1/2hr at a friends place should do
[04:16] <kaue1> if there's an op around, you can chuck kauer, it's me and I'm dead :-)
[04:16] <javaJake> christian_, next, download this file somewhere were you'll remember: http://repository.debuntu.org/GPG-Key-chantra.txt
[04:16] <javaJake> christian_, (P.S. don't close Software Sources yet)
[04:17] <javaJake> kaue1, talk to the people in #freenode about ghost nicks - I forget how to kick them, but they'll know
[04:17] <javaJake> christian_, in Software Sources, click on the Authentication tab
[04:17] <cheeseboy> kaue /ns ghost nick pass
[04:17] <javaJake> christian_, and click Import Key File. Select the file you downloaded and click OK.
[04:17] <javaJake> christian_, now close Software Sources.
[04:18] <cheeseboy>  @ kaue1
[04:18] <javaJake> christian_, in Synaptic you should find pidgin and you'll be all set
[04:18] <kaue1> /ns ghost kauer
[04:18] <javaJake> :P
[04:18] <kaue1> ??
[04:18] <javaJake> Uh oh
[04:18] <javaJake> You didn't register
[04:18] <javaJake> That means you have no control over that nick
[04:18] <javaJake> Next time register the nicks you want to use. :)
[04:18] <kaue1> javaJake: Didn't know I had to, wouldn't know how.. :-)
[04:18] <Amendt> I am using pidgin as my irc client. Can I turn off who is leaving this channel?
[04:18] <christian_> javaJake: Am I supposed to save all the text at that page into a txt-file and open it from "Import key file"?
[04:19] <javaJake> kaue1,  It should automatically be kicked within 30 minutes to an hour
[04:19] <cheeseboy> kaue1 so eith wait for it to ping out or see if someone will kill it
[04:19] <javaJake> kaue1, when you have the nick you want, write /msg nickserv register <pickapassword>
[04:19] <vanberge> is pidgin 2.1.0 the latest?
[04:19] <javaJake> kaue1, then whenever you signon, write /msg nickserv identify <pickapassword>
[04:19] <javaJake> vanberge, no
[04:19] <cheeseboy> 2.1.1
[04:20] <javaJake> vanberge, 2.1.1 or something like that. :)
[04:20] <javaJake> Yep
[04:20] <kaue1> javaJake: seems like  lot of trouble for a nick. I don't that much care what I;'m called....
[04:20] <javaJake> vanberge, just learned about this thing - http://www.debuntu.org/
[04:20] <christian_> javaJake: I have to repeat: Am I supposed to save all the text in that page into a txt-file and open it trough 'Import key file' ?
[04:20] <javaJake> kaue1, well, that's fine. Keep in mind some channels require you use registered nicks
[04:20] <Dusk_> it's too slowww...i tried all the servers
[04:20] <javaJake> christian_, yea
[04:20] <javaJake> christian_, sorry
[04:21] <javaJake> christian_, wow, that question passed right by me
[04:21] <Cuzz> what a F&^K up, guess ill have to install 6.10, at least  can use the pppoe there FFS
[04:21] <vanberge> javaJake, sweet they have it on a rep
[04:21] <Cuzz> DOM FOKKEN POES KONTE
[04:21] <vanberge> *repO
[04:21] <javaJake> vanberge, yep
[04:21] <christian_> javaJake: You didn't understand that question? .p
[04:22] <javaJake> christian_, yes, you are supposed to save all the text into a txt file, and then open it using Import key file
[04:22] <javaJake> Cuzz, sorry we can't help, but we aren't entitled to help you just because you want help. If we knew the solution we'd help.
[04:23] <Kossilar> What's the problem you're having Cuzz?
[04:23] <javaJake> Cuzz, you need to check your install CD, otherwise you'll have to manually download the packages and their dependancies
[04:23] <Cuzz> no its fine i understand, im just frustrated now
[04:24] <Cuzz> thanx
[04:24] <javaJake> Kossilar, scroll up: "I need gcc-3.4 and libc6-dev packages for iburst internet connection to work"
[04:24] <javaJake> Cuzz, also, good spelling helps
[04:24] <snadge> whats the main difference between 386 and generic kernels?
[04:24] <javaJake> snadge, trust me, you want generic. I believe this question was asked before, and you want generic
[04:25] <defrysk> generic kernel is wat is says, work on any (most) i386 based cpu
[04:25] <vanberge> javaJake, is it normal for "sudo apt-key add -" to take 1 minute plus?
[04:25] <Cuzz> where did my bad spelling cause a misunderstanding?
[04:25] <javaJake> vanberge, no
[04:25] <javaJake> vanberge, not unless the wget is taking a while
[04:25] <snadge> javaJake: but i have a piece of crap cpu (crusoe processor) thats barely p3 equivalent
[04:25] <vanberge> it looks like the wget finished... and that hte apt-key is hung up
[04:26] <javaJake> vanberge, yea, that isn't normal. :)
[04:26] <christian_> javaJake: I've added the file. Now what?
[04:26] <christian_> :)
[04:26] <javaJake> Cuzz, well it helps to have good spelling only because then you appear polite, and that you want to take the time to be polite.
[04:27] <javaJake> Cuzz, and it just plain looks better. :)
[04:27] <wailer> :)
[04:27] <javaJake> christian_, close out software sources, let it update, and then open Synaptic
[04:27] <vanberge> javaJake, wierd... must still be doing something because my update manager just popped up with an update to pidgin...
[04:27] <Cuzz> Ok no problem
[04:27] <javaJake> vanberge, hit enter
[04:27] <javaJake> vanberge, maybe your terminal came back and you didn't realize it
[04:27] <vanberge> javaJake,  ah... yep. it did
[04:28] <vanberge> it didnt display emty cmd line
[04:28] <n2diy> I just had a power failure, and discovered my UPS is shot! My system came back up after complaining about the unclean shutdown, and everything appears ok, but now my sound doesn't work. I have a bash script file, that I run to load my sound card modules, but it is returning 'no such file or directory' errors?
[04:28] <javaJake> vanberge, :)
[04:28] <Cuzz> I am going to try to download all the packages and their dependencies and transfer them with USB, and try and install them with the [ackage installer
[04:29] <Cuzz> Hopefully it will work
[04:29] <javaJake> n2diy, well, there's several possible issues. There's a file the script can't find. There's a module/file the commands inside the script can't find. The script itself can't be found.
[04:29] <javaJake> Cuzz, OK
[04:29] <javaJake> Cuzz, wish you luck! This part can take a _lot_ of patience
[04:30] <wailer> Cuzz: the cd gives only the basics - nearly everything else comes from the internet - thats linux
[04:30] <Cyrus25801> is there a way to recover a file after deleting it
[04:30] <javaJake> Cuzz, also, I'd do a little research - downloading packages and going through all that work will be frustrating if it doesn't work. Make sure the solution you found will most likely work before jumping in
[04:30] <javaJake> Cyrus25801, no, that's the beauty of ext3. ;)
[04:30] <n2diy> javaJake: the script is running, it has four commands, and I get four errors when I run the script.
[04:30] <javaJake> Cyrus25801, ext3 really deletes when you delete for security reasons I believe?
[04:30] <Blindet> gnome wont load after enabling that root user can sign in from the login screen, how to fix this?
[04:31] <Calix> anyone mind helpin me out with a noob question or two?
[04:31] <javaJake> n2diy, OK, then thsoe commands are having issues, not the script.
[04:31] <javaJake> !paste | n2diy
[04:31] <ubotu> n2diy: 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)
[04:31] <javaJake> Use taht to show me the script
[04:31] <javaJake> !ask | Calix
[04:31] <ompaul> !ask | Calix
[04:31] <ubotu> Calix: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:31] <javaJake> lol
[04:31] <vanberge> so who has started using the new alpha vs. 7.04 ?
[04:31] <javaJake> ompaul, barely beat you
[04:31] <javaJake> :)
[04:31] <Calix> metatron@metatron-desktop:~$ sudo tar -zxvf ubuntu-firewall.tgz
[04:31] <Calix> metatron is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[04:31] <Calix> metatron@metatron-desktop:~$ sendmail: fatal: file /etc/postfix/main.cf: parameter setgid_group: unknown group name: postdrop
[04:31] <javaJake> !paste | Calix
[04:32] <ubotu> Calix: 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)
[04:32] <Calix> er, it was only 3 lines tho?
[04:32] <ompaul> Calix, 2 is too much
[04:32] <Cyrus25801> javaJake: ah man i really need that file
[04:32] <javaJake> Calix, you do not have sudo powers. If you are not the administrator of the computer, you don't need these, and you need to talk to the administrator.
[04:32] <Calix> i am the admin
[04:33] <Calix> i think ive somehow removed myself from the sudo group but i got no idea how lol
[04:33] <javaJake> Cyrus25801, yea, sorry, there is no way to get it back. The system writes over your file with a bunch of "0"s or whatever when you delete. It's gone. :(
[04:33] <javaJake> Calix, O-uch!
[04:33] <Blindet> gnome wont load after enabling that root user can sign in from the login screen, how can i fix this in recovery mode?
[04:33] <javaJake> Calix, OK, is there another user with sudo powers?
[04:33] <Calix> no
[04:33] <javaJake> Calix, and did you edit the sudo file without the special sudoedit command?
[04:33] <ompaul> Calix, it can be edited to appear on the same line ;-) and as javaJake says the user needs to have admin powers, this is your problem, the first user set up has this ability and if you broke it that much you better have a live CD handy
[04:33] <finalbeta> Cyrus25801: there should be a way
[04:34] <javaJake> Calix, you NEVER EVER EVER EVER edit the sudo file without sudoedit because such things as this happen
[04:34] <Cyrus25801> javaJake: and if it is ext2
[04:34] <finalbeta> linux only removes the refference to the file, not the file
[04:34] <javaJake> Calix, thankfully there's a way to get you back in to sudo powers
[04:34] <Calix> i didnt edit the sudo file tho
[04:34] <Calix> all i did was mess about with some user groups
[04:34] <wailer> Blindet: what did you change as root?
[04:34] <javaJake> Calix, hmmm, OK, well, here's what to do...
[04:34] <Cyrus25801> If anyone has any idea of how to retreive a deleted file please tell me
[04:34] <gforties> Calix, you should be able to fix the sudoers file by booting into single user mode.  reboot your machine and edit the boot line in gurb appending the number 2
[04:34] <christian_> javaJake: Tnx, I got pidgin now. :)
[04:34] <Blindet> wailer, nothing
[04:35] <finalbeta> Cyrus25801: http://e2undel.sourceforge.net/recovery-howto.html
[04:35] <christian_> I find some differents between gaim and pidgin thou
[04:35] <gforties> Calix: this will log you in as root
[04:35] <javaJake> Calix, reboot, and when it comes up with a countdown or OS selection, hit ESC, then hit the down key until you selec thte first "Recovery" option
[04:35] <javaJake> christian_, yw
[04:35] <variant> does anyone know about setting the region on a new dvd drive with regionset? is it possible to set it to be somehow "region free" ?
[04:35] <Calix> k
[04:35] <javaJake> Calix, gforties said in summary what I am telling you.
[04:35] <Cyrus25801> how do I check if i have ext2 or 3
[04:35] <variant> Cyrus25801: mount
[04:36] <christian_> javaJake: What does 'yw' stands for?
[04:36] <javaJake> christian_, your welcome
[04:36] <variant> Cyrus25801: run mount in a terminal.. it will tell you.
[04:36] <Calix> after i load up in recovery mode what do i do then?
[04:36] <christian_> javaJake: :)
[04:36] <tritoch> how do i start my inet server?
[04:36] <nephish> if an nvidia card has an svideo out, does xorg do some kind of scan to ensure that the monitor is actually svideo?
[04:36] <n2diy> javaJake: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34993/
[04:36] <javaJake> Calix, then you'd wait until a terminal appears, and then you can edit the sudo file and run "sudo adduser <yourusername> admin"
[04:36] <Cyrus25801> variant: thanx
[04:36] <aurel42> Hi there... I believe the support for my notebook video chip was broken somewhere between 6.10 and 7.04, any suggestions on how to upgrade Ubuntu "gradually" to find out what exactly it was that broke? Can I get ISO images of "historic" Ubuntu releases? (Samsung M50-1860, NV GO6600)
[04:36] <variant> Tidus: "/etc/init.d/servicename start"
[04:37] <Cuzz> 6.10 was better imho. Connecting to the internet was made easy, and once connected, Ubuntu was great! But 7.04 us frustrating...
[04:37] <macogw> aurel42: likely the driver
[04:37] <Cyrus25801> finalbeta: thanx but that is only for ext2 what about ext3
[04:37] <tritoch> variant: it's not listed in init.d
[04:37] <wailer> blindet: have you tried cntrl-alt-bkspc
[04:37] <javaJake> Cuzz, don't generalize based on your experience, please
[04:37] <macogw> aurel42: did you need to install a driver with the command line on edgy?
[04:37] <javaJake> Cuzz, 7.04 is better for me
[04:37] <variant> tritoch: try running the name of the program, like xinitd or whatever it is
[04:37] <Blindet> wailer, no i havent, what does that do
[04:37] <javaJake> aurel42, well, you can get the 6.10 disk and apt-get install each package that is to be upgraded, I suppose....
[04:37] <tritoch> variant: not in usr bin either - or a shell command at all
[04:37] <Cuzz> Off course that is from personal experiebce
[04:37] <wailer> Blindet: restarts x
[04:37] <macogw> Cuzz: 7.04 got rid of my full-system lockups and saved me the "install networkmanager" step
[04:38] <variant> tritoch: what is teh exact program called?
[04:38] <tritoch> variant: and it's inetd i want, not xinetd
[04:38] <ompaul> Calix, you need to (A) do visudo (B) and make sure you have the line:   %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
[04:38] <javaJake> Calix, also, you'd want to run "sudo sudoedit /etc/sudoers" and make sure "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" is listed in there
[04:38] <tritoch> variant: inetd
[04:38] <n2diy> javaJake: never mind, loos nuts behind the controls!
[04:38] <wailer> 7.04 rocks
[04:38] <aurel42> macogw: actually, I don't think so, because I see the same problem with a range of driver versions, and it happens with the proprietary nvidia driver as well as the nv driver. I suspect a problem in kernel or libc or something like that.
[04:38] <ompaul> Calix, make that (A) sudo visudo (B) and make sure you have the line:   %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
[04:38] <macogw> aurel42: did you get it working with basic vesa at all?
[04:39] <aurel42> macogw: yes, 1024x768 works fine everywhere
[04:39] <aurel42> 1024x768 using the vesa driver, that is
[04:39] <javaJake> Cuzz, you are telling everyone 7.04 stinks because it doesn't work for you. That is the same as someone saying all PCs stink because theirs never turned on. :)
[04:39] <iceek> wailer: I've got it, finally
[04:39] <tritoch> variant: the package is called netkit-inetd if it makes any difference
[04:39] <macogw> javaJake: and they probably didnt have it plugged in ;)
[04:39] <wailer> Blindet yah... lol
[04:40] <variant> tritoch: yeah, i know it. try running sudo updatedb ; slocate inetd
[04:40] <javaJake> macogw, or they fried their power supply because they added one too many hard drives *flashback* :|
[04:40] <javaJake> :P
[04:40] <giany911> can anyone help me to format a usb ... disk ? actually a mp3 player ?
[04:40] <macogw> javaJake: you can do that?  good job
[04:40] <javaJake> :D
[04:40] <tritoch> variant: one up, i did slocate bin*inetd and it only finds the update-inetd program (it's for adding to the conf file)
[04:40] <javaJake> It was a really low-power supply. :P
[04:40] <Cuzz> No sorry, 7.04 is probably great once you are up and running, im  just having problems connecting,
[04:40] <bulmer> tritoch: i believe ubuntu is using xinet more than inetd
[04:40] <variant> tritoch: just do "slocate inetd"
[04:41] <bulmer> tritoch: i believe ubuntu is using xnetd* more than inetd
[04:41] <aurel42> macogw: 1400x900 works on 6.06/6.10 with kernel 2.6.15, it worked for months with Debian/etch (before it got to stable), it doesn't work with Debian/stable or 7.04 now (it switches to the graphics mode and displays garbage, without crashing the system)
[04:41] <tritoch> variant: want the results?
[04:41] <giany911> can anyone help me to format a usb ... disk ? actually a mp3 player ?
[04:41] <wailer> Cuzz: the problem is your connection meyhod - not the OS.
[04:41] <tritoch> bulmer: i have no results for slocate xinetd
[04:41] <javaJake> aurel42, that's X then
[04:41] <finalbeta> Cyrus25801: Seems you can't, but google...
[04:41] <tritoch> bulmer: i dont believe it's isntalled at all
[04:41] <macogw> aurel42: and which driver did you use on there?
[04:41] <Cyrus25801> finalbeta: thanx
[04:41] <wailer> *method
[04:41] <variant> tritoch: yeah pastebin it
[04:41] <faileas> giany911: formatting a mp3 player dosen't sound like a good idea
[04:41] <javaJake> aurel42, you need to grab /var/log/Xorg.0.log right after the crash and see what it says.
[04:41] <rafaelscj>  I got 7.04 cd. How do I to upgrade?
[04:41] <bulmer> tritoch: see if you have a  /etc/xinetd.d
[04:42] <javaJake> giany911, no, it isn't a good idea. You want to use the manufacturer's utilities instead.
[04:42] <aurel42> macogw: on debian, nv and nvidia, on ubuntu, nv.
[04:42] <tritoch> bulmer: no results for slocate xinetd at all
[04:42] <Cuzz> Yes its the connection and the tutorial provided, only one aspect...
[04:42] <tritoch> then again, variant: i may not have inetd installed either :wtf:
[04:42] <giany911> ... does are Windows only and ... i dont want windows right now ...
[04:42] <aurel42> javaJake: I don't think the X server is aware that it crashed -- since it didn't. It just displays garbage and keeps running.
[04:42] <giany911> those*
[04:42] <javaJake> aurel42, ah
[04:42] <wailer> rafaelscj: nothing above 7.04 is stable yet
[04:42] <christian_> How can I pimp my desktop? I want it more good looking and better to use
[04:42] <javaJake> aurel42, that's trickier. :)
[04:42] <macogw> aurel42: did you try any of the xserver-xorg-video-nvidia, -nvidia-glx, and -nvidia-glx-new?
[04:42] <bulmer> tritoch: try locate instead of the limited slocate
[04:43] <wailer> rafaelscj: do you want to test?
[04:43] <faileas> giany911: you might risk damaging the mp3 player. i SERIOUSLY suggest not to
[04:43] <rafaelscj> wailer, I am using 6.06
[04:43] <javaJake> aurel42, if you don't get help here, going to the #xorg channel's a good idea.
[04:43] <michaeltheretard> meep
[04:43] <javaJake> aurel42, what ard are you using?
[04:43] <SliMM> hello
[04:43] <javaJake> card*
[04:43] <giany911> faileas i cant get it to work! ... its a mtp device ... and i cant actually access it, although i could in the past
[04:43] <aurel42> macogw: on Ubuntu, no, not yet. I can try, but I don't really have much hope.
[04:43] <faileas> hmm
[04:43] <SliMM> my ntfs partition is a bit broken
[04:43] <macogw> giany911: gnomad2 is for mtp devices
[04:44] <aurel42> javaJake: NV GO6600 (it's a laptop)
[04:44] <SliMM> so after using ntfs-config it only mounts forced
[04:44] <giany911> macogw yes and when i try to use it ( it worked before ) now it just crashes
[04:44] <faileas> giany911: MTP devices don't always work. i used gnomad2 before, but it was a pain to get working
[04:44] <macogw> !ntfs-3g | slimm
[04:44] <ubotu> slimm: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[04:44] <wailer> rafaelscj:" gksu update-manager -c
[04:44] <rafaelscj> wailer, thanks
[04:44] <wailer> *"
[04:44] <SliMM> i don't really care about this, the problem is that it doesn't appear anymore on my desktop and in 'Places'
[04:44] <macogw> giany911: do you have a LOT of stuff on the player? gnomad seems to have buffer issues making it crash when trying to retrieve the tracklisting from the player
[04:45] <aurel42> javaJake: and thanks for the hint about #xorg, I'll try that.
[04:45] <wailer> :)
[04:45] <giany911> thats the problem i deleted all mp3s macogw
[04:45] <macogw> giany911: oh
[04:45] <giany911> and heres is the output flush_handles(): LIBMTP panic: Could not get object handles...
[04:45] <giany911> 
[04:45] <SliMM> macogw: i know what ntfs-3g is, the partition is force munted under /media/hda3
[04:45] <javaJake> aurel42, dang, I have to go. :(
[04:45] <genefitz> SliMM, are you running dual boot or linux alone
[04:46] <Gener1c> say, what burning prog whould you recommand best?
[04:46] <macogw> SliMM: to add stuff to the places menu, go to it in nautilus, grab its name from above the large pane and drag it into the little pane
[04:46] <SliMM> genefitz: dualboot, but i've broken my windows xp with gparted
[04:46] <Gener1c> say, what burning prog whould you recommend best?
[04:46] <javaJake> aurel42, but I'd search that card in the forums - if you can't get it to work, someone else probably couldn't, and so there's probably a solution out there just waiting for you. :)
[04:46] <macogw> Gener1c: i like gnomebaker
[04:46] <javaJake> aurel42, also, your monitor might be incorrectly detected.
[04:46] <Gener1c> something more like nero?
[04:46] <giany911> i read somewhere ... that somebody fixed this by formating the mp3 player(although he did it from windows )
[04:46] <macogw> slimm, did it tell you to do checkdisk -f on windows and you didnt?
[04:46] <SliMM> macogw: it used to be in 'places' and on my desktop, it isn't there anymore, why?
[04:46] <genefitz> Oh, okay. I had the problem with my windows partition and was able to fix it running check disk in XP
[04:47] <macogw> Gener1c: i think there's nero for linux
[04:47] <javaJake> Gener1c, k3b
[04:47] <Gener1c> yeah i know
[04:47] <macogw> Gener1c: k3b probably has a more nero interface
[04:47] <javaJake> Gener1c, awesome stuff k3b is
[04:47] <Gener1c> but the nero for linux sux ass
[04:47] <scottsimpson296> my nvidia-glx install exits with no error message and doesn't install, can anyone think why?
[04:47] <christian_> How can I pimp my desktop? I want it more good looking and better to use
[04:47] <Gener1c> cool ill dl it
[04:47] <aurel42> javaJake: I suspect my notebook model ain't too popular. Web searches don't come up with much, ALSA has been broken for ages, which indicates that there's not many developers using the model. :)
[04:47] <macogw> i dont think k3b does re-encoding for audio disks though, does it?
[04:47] <SliMM> macogw: i didn't delete the registry entry regarding partitions, that's why windos isn't working :)
[04:47] <javaJake> aurel42, ah, yep
[04:47] <wailer> SliMM: will it still boot?
[04:47] <christian_> How can I make my desktop more comfortable and better to use?
[04:48] <macogw> SliMM: ive never had to do that
[04:48] <macogw> christian_: play with settings
[04:48] <SliMM> wailer: yes, it boots, but it freezes after log in
[04:48] <christian_> macogw: Where's that settings?
[04:48] <gforties> christian_: that is completely based on personal preference.  screw around with it til you get it the way you like it
[04:48] <michaeltheretard> !nvidia
[04:48] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:48] <javaJake> aurel42, that's a bummer - that's when you really have to get creative and think. Try the alsa mailing list, try the #xorg channel, Google different things, etc.
[04:48] <genefitz> Nero for linux is useless. You can do everything with K3b than you can with Nero for linux.
[04:48] <finalbeta> !paste
[04:48] <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)
[04:48] <macogw> christian_: there's tons of them.  system > preferences have a bunch
[04:48] <javaJake> christian_, System -> Preferences has a bunch of stuff
[04:49] <javaJake> christian_, but besides that you'll ahve to name specific things.
[04:49] <giany911> macogw any ideas  ? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/34995/
[04:49] <javaJake> I ahve to run... ttyl everyone
[04:49] <macogw> christian_: you can go to gnome-look.org and download themes. you just drag the package into the theme manager window and it installs
[04:49] <SliMM> macogw: isn't there a way to mace the ntfs partition automatically appear under places and ~/Desktop?
[04:49] <genefitz> Nero for linux doesn't have a movie encoder, which honestly was all it is good for in windows
[04:49] <Johto> i like that its very fast and easy to burn .iso files unde gnome, very nice to have this burning feature integrated on gnome :)
[04:49] <macogw> SliMM: i dont know how the thing on the desktop works, probably a setting that i dont know about, but i told you how to get it into places
[04:49] <christian_> javaJake & macogw: Tnx, I will check it out.
[04:49] <wailer> SliMM: I'd think about a linux rescue cd - maybe - gave up windows years ago!
[04:50] <Johto> it oly toke me two clicks to burn  .iso file, and erase the disk beforehand
[04:50] <SliMM> wailer: there's a live cd for editing that registry entry, but i don't feel like doing it now :P
[04:50] <wailer> :)
[04:51] <Johto> just burning the newest gutsy, gotta try at least that live-cd portion, not going to install it yet though..
[04:51] <kauer> I've got an ATI card going, dualhead, everything works perfectly except that the cursor on the second screen is invisible. It's there. it works, but it is not visible. I have dualhead working with the "ati" driver, the "fglrx" driver and the "radeon" driver, just with fglrx the cursor is AWOL. Any simple answers?
[04:51] <macogw> christian_: you may like to install gnome-main-menu  it gives a different interface for the menu
[04:52] <noelferreira> there's any dock option for mozilla-firefox?
[04:52] <Taffy-nay> I've installed Half Life using Wine and it has placed the Icon for it on the desktop along with a file called "Half-Life.lnk".......can I move the game icon to the games section of my applitations menu and is the "Half-Life.lnk" file needed? can I delete it?
[04:52] <giany911> macogw http://www.misticriver.net/showthread.php?t=50579 i found the same error here ...he guy fixed it by formating ...so how do i format it ?:)
[04:53] <macogw> i dont know
[04:53] <giany911> ... lets say its an usb disk
[04:53] <wailer> Taffy-nay: drag'n'drop is your freind
[04:53] <giany911> ... volume bla bla appears on my desktop
[04:53] <SliMM> for all the linux & yahoo users: go and vote here the first two suggestions http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=ydn
[04:53] <rizo> Hi
[04:53] <rizo> what is the optimum resolution for X
[04:54] <Johto> rizo: ? depends on your display !
[04:54] <Taffy-nay> wailer: I figured that was the case. would deleting the other file cause an issue though?
[04:54] <rizo> I feel x to be slow on higher resolution
[04:54] <rizo> at 1280 x 1024
[04:54] <Johto> rizo: again, depends on your display, your graphic card and other hardware, lol
[04:54] <Nylink|Ub> how much should i allocate to my / mount and my /home mount?
[04:55] <rizo> my hardware can support 1280 x 1024 but still
[04:55] <Johto> rizo: of course you NEED proper hardware accelrated drivers too
[04:55] <gforties> Nylink|Ub: how big is your drive
[04:55] <rizo> I have the correct drivers for linux
[04:55] <Jeruvy> If I want to install ubuntu on a external esata drive is there anything special I should do?  How do I distinguish between my various drives and raid in the partition setup?
[04:55] <Johto> rizo: no wonder if its slow if you run it in some weird compatible non accell mode
[04:55] <Nylink|Ub> 320 gb, but most of it is used, so i partitioned off about 20 gb
[04:55] <bullgard4> Who can explain the following observation: My laptop shows a rather high temperature (61 and 50C) even though there are no demanding applications running. But if I kill a Gnome terminal tab which runs a MC, the temperature will lower to normal values (46 and 44C).
[04:55] <Johto> rizo: ok, list your hardware
[04:55] <Cuzz> Can someone at Ubuntu please fix this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MobileWirelessBroadband   that will enable fresh 7.04 users to setup a connection without having to download 2 packages and install all their dependancies.
[04:56] <wailer> Taffy-nay; a link does nothing but direct you to another file - so deleting it only means you can't use it to get to that file
[04:56] <sherkin> Hi,
[04:56] <rizo> its pretty old Integrated sis730/630 card on the pc that feels slow
[04:57] <robbit> Does anyone know whether the Acecad flair II GT-504 graphics tablet is supported in Ubuntu
[04:57] <Nylink|Ub> and i already allocated 2gb for swap
[04:57] <gforties> Nylink|Ub: with a size constraint of 20 gb, i might not use a /home partition at all.  just put everything in /, except of course your swap
[04:57] <sherkin> Could someon tell me if evince displays correctly color in dvi files ?
[04:57] <Johto> rizo: oh, no wonder then, i was thinking youd had new hardware ...like at least pentium4 and nvidia card...
[04:57] <Nylink|Ub> ah okay, thanks gforties
[04:57] <baikonur> robbit: probably google knows it
[04:57] <gforties> Nylink|Ub: you need at least 10GB for your system partition these days
[04:57] <Johto> rizo: so you are most likely not using "hardware" accellrations..
[04:58] <Johto> rizo: everyting is drawn on software, thats why it gets slow FAST when resolution goes up
[04:58] <wailer> Taffy-nay: lol
[04:58] <rizo> nope but there is a huge speed increase between 1024x768 and 1280x1024
[04:58] <robbit> baikonur: If they know they dont want to tell me!
[04:58] <Taffy-nay> wailer: oh right, ok. i'll rename it first to see if it's being used at all. The "drag'n'drop" to the games menu isn't working thogh
[04:58] <Johto> rizo: yes, you have shitty gfx card
[04:58] <Johto> rizo: get a better card
[04:58] <aurel42> rizo: perhaps you discovered the memory limit of your card. ;)
[04:59] <esccoder> hoho
[04:59] <rizo> well its just a spare comp so not really worth a new card
[04:59] <Johto> rizo: ok, dont complain then, suffer :D
[04:59] <Johto> rizo: and use lower rez
[04:59] <rizo> I was just wondering why this happened
[04:59] <baikonur> robbit: what about the first link: http://www.google.ch/search?num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=%22Acecad+flair+II+GT-504%22+ubuntu&btnG=Search&meta=
[04:59] <Jeruvy> If I want to install ubuntu on a external esata drive is there anything special I should do?  How do I know which drive is it (seems to think all my drives are scsi)?
[05:00] <sherkin> Hi there, anyone available ?
[05:00] <wailer> Taffy-nay: I have luck with - right click - cut - then in folder  - right click - paste
[05:00] <Johto> rizo: you are hitting the max memory of the cards framebuffer and stuff i think with the higher rez
[05:00] <aurel42> rizo: try lowering the number of bitplanes, that should help if it's a memory issue.
[05:00] <Johto> oh he left
[05:00] <EvaLuaTe> how can i change the mysql root user password ?
[05:00] <EvaLuaTe> if i don't know the password
[05:00] <binarydigit> EvaLuaTe: #mysql
[05:00] <robbit> baikonur: thanks - will check
[05:00] <EvaLuaTe> ok, thanks
[05:01] <baikonur> sherkin: that's not how it works. you aks a question and if somebody knows the answer he or she answers
[05:01] <christian_> macogw: I liked the gnome-main-menu, but I don't find it.. can you give me a link?
[05:01] <wailer> Taffy-nay: oops - linux platform - check permissions
[05:01] <aurel42> EvaLuaTe: start mysqld with --skip-grant-tables, reset password, shutdown mysqld, restart normally
[05:01] <Blindet> wailer: ctrl alt backspace didnt work
[05:01] <sherkin> ok baikonur
[05:01] <Blindet> gnome wont still load
[05:01] <Taffy-nay> wailer: thanks
[05:02] <EvaLuaTe> aurel42, could you please tell me the commands or tell me where to look for them, because i'm pretty new to linux and i don't know how to do that
[05:02] <triplc> hi all
[05:02] <sherkin> baikonur: I'd thought my question was simple, maybe not clear enough ?
[05:03] <SliMM> here is my problem: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2e81300b
[05:03] <gforties> EvaLuaTe: you can find the location of mysqld using: locate mysqld
[05:03] <saxin> Looking for a program that will take a "screenshot" of an area that I make with the mouse. Any suggestions?
[05:03] <wailer> Blindet: working on a dual boot are you?
[05:03] <aurel42> EvaLuaTe: perhaps purging and reinstalling mysqld is easier, if you don't keep important data in it?
[05:04] <andy_> Hey, can the live cd successfully resize an ntfs partition?
[05:04] <aurel42> EvaLuaTe: make that "mysql-server"
[05:04] <gforties> saxin: gnome-screenshot
[05:04] <Blindet> wailer: no im not, its my friends ubuntu
[05:04] <EvaLuaTe> aurel42, i don't have anything important in my mysql for now
[05:04] <SliMM> what should i do, windows can't start (it boots, but it freezes)
[05:04] <SliMM> ?
[05:04] <wailer> Blindet: you said it worked - so lets start another attempt:)
[05:05] <baikonur> sherkin: I didn't saw your question, sorry. I thought you just came in and asked if someone is available. I guess if nobody answers, nobody currently here knows the answer to your question. It's sometimes better to ask a question in a forum, e.g. ubuntuforums.org if you don't get an answer here
[05:05] <andy_> SliMM install Ubuntu
[05:05] <Blindet> i didnt say that it did work
[05:05] <MiLL> SliMM: delete windows partition n installl ubuntu :D
[05:05] <SliMM> andy_: i am running ubuntu, i don't want to delete the windows partition
[05:05] <sherkin> thanks baikonur, have a nice day !
[05:06] <SliMM> just look here, my ntfs-config error: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2e81300b
[05:06] <noelferreira> there's any dock option for mozilla-firefox?
[05:06] <SliMM> andy_: i suggest u use gparted, it's great
[05:06] <andy_> SliMM, did you do anything to break your windows install? (like use it?)
[05:06] <baikonur> noelferreira: what do you mean by "dock option"?
[05:06] <SliMM> andy_: i used gparted badly
[05:07] <andy_> what did you do exactly
[05:07] <wailer> Blindet: at prompt type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - * sloooowly go through the steps - choose vesa for the card driver as a failsafe then at the end hit cntrl-alt-bkspc
[05:07] <SliMM> andy_: but the problem is not about running windows!!
[05:07] <giany911> so i have this usb disk .... how can i see where is the device actually ? ... i mean in /dev/
[05:07] <aurel42> EvaLuaTe: well, then try to purge mysql-server using the package management tool of your choice (aptitude, synaptic, sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server) and then reinstall it (please be aware I'm new to Ubuntu, too, so no guarantees *g)
[05:07] <jkenn337> hello
[05:07] <triplc> Hi all
[05:07] <gforties> giany911: when you plug it in, type 'dmesg | tail'
[05:08] <SliMM> andy_: i don't want to run widows, i just want to mount the ntfs partition without using 'forced mount'
[05:08] <jkenn337> I'm having a problem with ubuntu 7.4 feisty fawn version. I can run it from the live cd on my wife's dell desktop but not on my computer.
[05:08] <gforties> giany911: there should be some hardware event that lists the device node
[05:08] <triplc> What is good Flash Player for Ubuntu 64-bit? I am using Gnash.... but it does not play YouTUBE correctly.
[05:08] <noelferreira> baikonur: the bar where the icons of the programs stays where the are in background
[05:08] <triplc> (Flash plugin)
[05:08] <mikere> SliMM: Looks like you have to either boot windows to clear the flag or use force.
[05:08] <andy_> SliMM: ooh, so you're trying to access that data?
[05:08] <jkenn337> she has an intel video driver and I have an nvidia card, she has on-board sound-max digital sound and I have a sound blaster live sound card and logitek USB headphones which my computer sees as another sound card.
[05:09] <SliMM> triplc: desn't adobe have such a flash player?
[05:09] <SliMM> doesn't*
[05:09] <Blindet> wailer: i now phoned to my friend, and he will call me to tell the results..
[05:09] <Bucketface> Hmm?
[05:09] <Bucketface> If you want flash player
[05:09] <SliMM> andy
[05:09] <triplc> SliMM: really? for Ubuntu 64-bit? Ok, let me check again
[05:09] <Bucketface> just go to youtube and install it directly in firefox~~!
[05:09] <SliMM> andy_: yes
[05:09] <jkenn337> any ideas on how I can get it to run? I am totally blind and cannot see the screen. Orca also loads on my wife's computer when I press alt f2 and type orca and press enter. my wife is also blind.
[05:09] <gforties> SliMM: if you can, i would suggest converting your ntfs partition to a fat32 partition
[05:10] <wailer> Blindet: let me know how it goes :)
[05:10] <SliMM> gforties: i just need some utility for doing the filesystem check in linux
[05:11] <Moniker42> hey, how do i get tabs in nautilus?
[05:11] <EvaLuaTe> so how can i start mysqld from the command line /
[05:11] <EvaLuaTe> ?
[05:11] <gforties> SliMM: fsck.ntfs ??
[05:11] <robbit> baikonur: Took me to Ubuntu Documentation site, which gives me all the info I'm looking for. Thanks for your help
[05:11] <SliMM> triplc: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BIOW
[05:12] <SliMM> triplc: doesn't this work?
[05:12] <Winst0n> uh
[05:12] <W1nst00n> Howdy, Y'all
[05:12] <triplc> SliMM: Oh... all I've checked is Ubuntu's repos... I haven't check adobe yet
[05:12] <W1nst00n> Is it possible to install WinXP after installing ubuntu to a HDD, or must I install Windows first?
[05:12] <D3B14N> jkenn337;   doesn't the CD startup at all ?
[05:12] <piyoyo207> hola
[05:12] <wailer> Moniker42:pcman was made to get tabbed file browsing
[05:13] <rakka> howcome ubuntu wont open my rpm?
[05:13] <Jeruvy> EvaLuaTe: mysql
[05:13] <baikonur> noelferreira: you mean beside the clock, where for example the xchat or gaim icon resides if the application is started? no, I don't think that's available for firefox. What purpose what such a dock icon have?
[05:13] <W1nst00n> rakka, do you have alien?
[05:13] <rakka> nope
[05:13] <rakka> ty
[05:13] <faileas> rakka: RPMs arn't ubuntu's native package format...
[05:13] <PaulEU> Hello! I have problem with hibernation since when I changed monitor into newer (15" LCD -> 20" LCD). After change monitor, I fixed xorg.conf and it works fine for 1400x1050 resolution, I'm using driver nvidia.
[05:13] <D3B14N> rakka install alien ( sudo apt-get install -y alien
[05:13] <mikere> SliMM: I have no idea if fsck will work on ntfs.  Have you tried fsck -A?
[05:14] <PaulEU> Hibernation works without problems on old monitor, now I'm doing (System -> End -> Hibernate) and it works OK, but when I try get back on the computer I have black window (empty) and cursor of mouse is visible. Mouse of course works, keyboard works only with command SysRq, other command doesn't works (for example: Ctrl+Alt+F1).
[05:14] <icelink> hi there
[05:14] <piyoyo207> hablan espanol
[05:14] <arun> where do i change fonts for kde apps, and where do i change the colour for the title bar font (it doesn't seem to change from white)
[05:14] <PaulEU> How can I fix it ? :/
[05:14] <jkenn337> yes the cd starts up.
[05:14] <jkenn337> but I don't hear the ubuntu music.
[05:14] <wailer> moniker42: pcmanfm in synaptic

[05:15] <jkenn337> I also have a linksys wifi USB adapter and a USB keyboard.
[05:15] <ben> There are numerous programs for Windows claiming to shred usage tracks. I came to find where windows caches and logs were and did it manually. I want to do the same thing for Feisty. Is there a program that erases common usage tracks, and if not where are ubuntu's logs and caches?
[05:15] <SliMM> gforties: i have a knoppix cd
[05:16] <arun> anyone?
[05:16] <PaulEU> is it possible that the graphics card and drivers are too old?

[05:17] <captine> hi all.  anyone here use Zimbra collab on ubuntu?
[05:17] <wailer> :)
[05:17] <ben> wailer: they won't be. And I don't know how to interpret them and detect it anyway
[05:17] <ben> I don't want my computer to surveil itself
[05:18] <captine> also, how bad is it (as a home user) to have one machine running file shareing, email server, document server, web server and firewall?
[05:18] <arun> anyone?
[05:18] <wailer> ben: if " they won't be ' then why delete them?
[05:18] <Pici> arun: kcontrol
[05:19] <ben> wailer: it's a project of mine to over-protect my PC. I've got it encrypted so it's unlikely anybody else will get in. The next step is to give them nothing to find if they do
[05:20] <ben> I simply need an exhaustive list of where ubuntu records my activities. So far I've got var/logs
[05:20] <Adlai> ben: ~/.*sh_history
[05:20] <wailer> ben: the best way I have found on a linux system is to set cron up to check the password list file for changes - someone will go there before your logs
[05:22] <ben> Adlai: sorry, where is that?
[05:22] <fligen> i am having a laptop power problem, can someone please help me?
[05:22] <ben> I see it's a hidden file
[05:22] <Adlai> in your home directory
[05:22] <Adlai> ~
[05:22] <Adlai> it's the log of shell commands
[05:22] <wailer> !cron
[05:22] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm

[05:25] <Moniker42> wailer, so is pcmanfm an extension of nautilus or a replacement?
[05:26] <knowmad> fligen: does it go into power save mode if you leave it plugged in?
[05:26] <fligen> no
[05:26] <knowmad> no surprise
[05:27] <Moniker42> knowmad, try messing around with the power saving settings?
[05:27] <ben> Are all .xxxx_history files logs, and will all log files outside of /var/log end with "_history"?
[05:27] <wailer> Moniker42:It is made by a bloke studying medicine in hong kong because he wanted tabbed browsing & couldn'nt get it anywhere else!
[05:27] <fligen> i have set it to power save in 15 min, with no joy
[05:27] <knowmad> try the forums or google. i use a thinkpad t23 and there were some helpful tips at thinkwiki.org.
[05:27] <Moniker42> wailer, ah. why doesn't nautilus have it?
[05:27] <fligen> ok ty

[05:28] <Moniker42> knowmad, oh, yeah - my bad.

[05:28] <wailer> hehe :)
[05:29] <Moniker42> wait, there isn't a #nautilus :(
[05:29] <wailer> Moniker42: does pcman have search yet?
[05:30] <Moniker42> wailer, i realised i can't be bothered working out pcman and that i'd be quicker stopping procrastinating by finding new file browsers and just copy the damn files i need to
[05:30] <Gener1c> say is there better or faster loading or preformance on gnome apposing to kde?
[05:30] <Moniker42> i'm avoiding reinstalling windows...

[05:30] <tehk> How would I go about using an existing home partition for a new ubuntu install? I know how to do it once I get the system up ad running but my question is -  Does ubiquity see my account when I mount my home drive as /home? Does it auto detect that account as an admin?
[05:30] <Gener1c> say is there better or faster loading or preformance on gnome apposing to kde?
[05:30] <engie> Hiya. Ive got a creative webcam nx (a USB SPCA5XX camera with the ZC3XX image sensor). I using it with Ubuntu Feisty and its using the GSPCA drivers. Whenever I use a program that connects to it there are huge delays on starting the program (including v4l-conf), and if the program tries to change any of the settings of the camera. What could be causing these delays?
[05:31] <wailer> I heard pcman doesn't yet have search function but soon will
[05:31] <Blindet> wailer: it didnt work and ym friend gave up and re-installed everything again

[05:33] <gforties> tehk: your account information is generally stored in /etc/*
[05:34] <gforties> tehk: /etc/passwd /etc/shadow and /etc/sudoers
[05:34] <drummerboy> hi
[05:34] <Pretoriab> hi all
[05:34] <gforties> tehk: you need to make sure the UID's of the new password list match the UID's for the associated files on the /home partition
[05:34] <tehk> gforties, so you would suggest just recreating my main account then just deleting it and mounting my home partition in its place?

I have a whole host of icons I downloaded but all I can seem to find is how to change the whole theme, and going through the individual file properties (using gnome, fyi) doesn't seem to provide me with the ability to change them, just emblems.

[05:38] <mundungus> hi guyz properly  ,i have an opera debian package,how can i install it and add to applications menu?
[05:38] <Kromel> Problem: Every time I reboot, X Server is broken.  After reinstalling the driver, I can get GDM to work.  However, when I reboot, I have to reinstall the NVIDIA driver again.
[05:38] <mirko_buk> Just a question:
[05:38] <mirko_buk> Does oss-emulation work for alsa drivers on ubuntu 6.06?
[05:38] <tehk> !cloning
[05:38] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type  dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages , move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type  sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade  - See also !automate
[05:39] <wailer> hhp2k: make your own theme by copying the ones you want into a folder you made then selecting that as your theme - you have to check the permissions first
[05:39] <Meroigo> since i did the following on ubuntu guide, no sound device options works in Skype. I tried to delete ~/.asoundrc, but nothing changed... http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_setup_surround-sound_speakers_.285.1_and_others.29_with_ALSA

[05:41] <jkenn337> hello I'm having a problem with the ubuntu live cd not booting.
[05:41] <ziggy__> Hey, does anyone here run Guild Wars with Cedega?
[05:41] <jkenn337> the cd spins for 5 or so minutes and i don't hear any music or anything.
[05:41] <Surger> mundungus: sudo dpkg -i <packagename>
[05:42] <jkenn337> does ubuntu work with nvidia video cards and pentium processors?
[05:42] <ziggy__> Jkenn337, what does it say you have on the cd on a different computer?
[05:42] <wertigo8888> I've a text problem with stellarium under 7.04. I can't read any text... only dots and lines. can someone help me?
[05:42] <tehk> jkenn337, yes.
[05:42] <jkenn337> does it work with logitech USB headphones and linksys wifi adapters?
[05:42] <mundungus> k surger thanks,lemmi try that.i tried double clicking it but its only opening in archiver
[05:42] <tehk> jkenn337, depends on what wifi chip
[05:43] <WX9J> att requires odd port settings  for its email. anyone know how to change them in evolution ?
[05:43] <ziggy__> jkenn337, Do you have the files properly burned? Or have you just copied an ISO to it?
[05:43] <jkenn337> it's a USB wifi adapter from linksys
[05:43] <Surger> mundungus: Or set up the opera repository and "sudo apt-get install opera"
[05:43] <jkenn337> yes the files are propperly burned
[05:43] <jkenn337> I tried it on my wife's computer and it works on that one.
[05:43] <ziggy__> jkenn337 - Does the computer have an operating system already on it?
[05:44] <jkenn337> yes
[05:44] <jkenn337> they both have windows xp on them.
[05:44] <ziggy__> Which one?
[05:44] <ziggy__> Hmm
[05:44] <jkenn337> her machine has intel video drivers and a celleron processor
[05:44] <Surger> mundungus: http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/841/
[05:44] <ziggy__> So, it just loads windows instead of installing?
[05:44] <tehk> jkenn337, depends on the chip inside. They release tons of different wifi dongles with many different chipsets. Some have drivers. Others are Win locked or can only be used with ndiswrapper on ubuntu.
[05:44] <madrazr> Hi all
[05:44] <ziggy__> Hey Madrazr

[05:45] <ziggy__> jkenn337, Does the computer load windows instead of booting from the cd?
[05:45] <tehk> jkenn337, what happens at boot? Does the 'Start installing ubuntu' prompt come up?
[05:45] <jkenn337> I don't know because I'm blind. none of our computers have monitors connected to them.
[05:46] <ziggy__> ....?
[05:46] <jkenn337> and what is ...?
[05:46] <jkenn337> maybe it's not compatible with my nvidia driver or nvidia video card or sound card?
[05:46] <ziggy__> jkenn337 Try installing it after logging into your windows user
[05:47] <ziggy__> Thats not possible
[05:47] <WX9J> anyone know how to change port settings in evolution ?
[05:47] <jkenn337> I also have a USB 2.0 card installed because this machine is from 2002 and din't come with USB 2.0.
[05:47] <ziggy__> Because linux recognises windows
[05:47] <madrazr> this is the error I get, "E: drupal-5.1: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1"
[05:47] <tehk> jkenn337, what happens when you boot.
[05:47] <Gener1c> ahhh
[05:47] <tehk> jkenn337, explain it
[05:47] <Gener1c> i cant burn!!
[05:47] <ziggy__> tehk, he is saying its not booting
[05:47] <Gener1c> say whats the gnome-baking channle here?
[05:48] <ziggy__> Well, I would like to ask if anyone runs guild wars in this channel. If so, I need some help, I have CrossOver, Wine, and Cedega.
[05:48] <tehk> ziggy__, well if he has his CD has the first boot device it will at least load the 'install or load from first harddrive' prompt
[05:48] <kowi> http://www.pennergame.de/ref.php?uid=3954
[05:48] <jkenn337> as far as I can tell it just hangs. when I press keys like enter and space nothing happens. when I booted on my wife's computer the music played eventually then I was able to load orca. it asked me some questions which I answered and then it said for accessibility to be enabled I had to log out and log back in. I didn't know how to do that with the keyboard so I was kind of stuck at that point. but it works on hers.
[05:48] <[DarkSun] > does anyone know if dri works with an ati x1550
[05:48] <bullgard4> Who can explain the following observation: My laptop shows a rather high temperature (61 and 50C) even though there are no demanding applications running. But if I kill a Gnome terminal tab which runs a MC, the temperature will lower to normal values (46 and 44C).
[05:49] <[DarkSun] > bulio|, cuz gnome is HOT! lol, idk, sorry
[05:49] <ziggy__> bullgard, Have you looked into power saving tools?
[05:49] <wailer> gnome uses lots of resources these days

[05:55] <madrazr> tehk: one more question I am developing a web based app for a small company, its a web based form processing app. I am using LAMP for that, I am planning to use drupal only for creating HTML pages is it a correct procedure, I donno exactly what drupal is used for, I thought it would do the job for me. Is it right???
[05:55] <tehk> madrazr, then use that to make your drupal mysql account and make an empty database. Then follow the readme. All that says to do is navigate to 127.0.0.1/where you installed/ and it should prompt you for the database username/pass and database name
[05:56] <mundungus> jus to ask, ave been trying to create a cron job to be running this php script daily at a certain time but the php script is neve executed wen the time comes,is there anyone who's done that?

[06:02] <wanger> engie: sounds like you're using the wrong keyboard map, you can change it in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file - best to make a copy of this file before editing it though
[06:03] <Jeruvy> I'm thinking you cannot install ubuntu on a eSATA drive.
[06:03] <Slor> Hey folks - quick question:  I found the info on supporting my SB16 AWE32 ISA card (modprobe snd-sbawe ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-oss).  Where is the most appropriate system file to put these commands?  Should they go in /etc/modules, somewhere in /etc/modprobe.d/, elsewhere?  Also, am I missing anything else?
[06:03] <SliMM> how do i add applications to the applications menu?
[06:03] <engie> wanger: There (there it goes again) nothing set in the xorg.conf. When I go to the gnome keyboard chooser applet it shows what keys I am pressing correctly
[06:03] <tehk> SliMM, just right click on it and select edit menus
[06:04] <jimmygoon> SliMM, use the Menu Editor System->Preferences->Main Menu
[06:04] <vecnah> do someone know a copy program that would state the speed and time remaining?
[06:04] <vecnah> I am looking for some replacement to good old cp
[06:04] <engie> vecnah: rsync can be useful, or scp
[06:05] <vecnah> I ll try taht thanks
[06:05] <tehk> vecnah, google visual cp
[06:05] <xKintaro> Is there a way you can run 32 bit apps on 64 bit Ubuntu
[06:05] <xKintaro> ?
[06:06] <wanger> engie: sorry what do you mean by "not set"? is there no entry for a keyboard in your xorg.conf?
[06:06] <Surger> vecnah: http://clpbar.sourceforge.net/
[06:06] <EAG> Is it impossible to share folders (which have stuff mounted with mount --bind) in a NFS share?
[06:06] <engie> yes, but there are no special options in there
[06:06] <engie> I just tried adding nodeadkeys, will give it a pop
[06:06] <wailer> SliMM: feisty has a control centre
[06:07] <jimmygoon> engie, have you don't the dpkg-reconfigure routine?
[06:07] <jimmygoon> wailer, what control center?
[06:07] <arun> I want to downgrade my ttf-dejavu package. what would be the best way to do that? i've got a deb of the version i want, but when i tried to install it, it says 'warning: newer version installed'.
[06:07] <jimmygoon> arun, you can ignore that warning and still install it
[06:08] <bnovc> is ubuntu known not to work with 8800GTS? I get no screen found. looks like a few other people had trouble on google but i dont see too many
[06:08] <wailer> jimmygoon: system - preferences- control center on mine
[06:08] <jimmygoon> wailer, you have installed that
[06:09] <jimmygoon> It is "gnome-control-center"
[06:09] <jimmygoon> apparently
[06:09] <Jeruvy> xKintaro thats how it's recommended
[06:09] <wailer> jimmygoon: came standard - saw it in mandriva and thought it was good - good on ububntu
[06:10] <wailer> *ubuntu
[06:10] <pike_> bnovc: the nvidia linux drivers fro 8800gts i have heard problems with but id do a google seach like "site:ubuntuforums.org nvidia 8800gts" im sure its fixable and im sure it will get betting in coming monts
[06:10] <arun> jimmygoon: no i cant install it. the install package button isn't clickable, it's grayed out. the exact message is 'Error: A later version is already installed'.
[06:10] <jimmygoon> It is not installed by default in ubuntu though, you can install it from the repositories, but it is not in a fresh install...
[06:10] <Holek_> hi there, is there any to change ie. "a" to "b" in some strings in bash script?
[06:10] <jimmygoon> arun, oh, it says error, in that case you can try installing it from the command line and force it
[06:11] <arun> jimmygoon: what would the command be
[06:11] <gforties> Holek_: sounds like you want to use 'sed'
[06:11] <pike_> Holek_: sed -i 's/a/b/g' file.txt or you can pipe something to sed
[06:11] <Holek_> hihi, thx, will try
[06:11] <wailer> jimmygoon: I had it on my system for a month or two before getting on the net
[06:11] <Downix> Alright, Ubuntu now installed on sons computer
[06:12] <_dario> Hello everybody.
[06:12] <_dario> Just a question
[06:12] <_dario> How can I enable OSS emulation on alsa drivers, ubuntu 6.06 ?
[06:12] <achtzehn> is there a tool for cutting mp3's, I want to remove the first few seconds from one.
[06:12] <Downix> thst reminds me, I need to figure out how to turn on his audio
[06:13] <Downix> and switch the mouse
[06:13] <gforties> achtzehn: audacity
[06:13] <jimmygoon> wailer, I'm not going to argue about this, I have a week old copy of ubuntu feisty and it does not have it. the betas/alphas of fiesty did however, I do believe that it was not in the final. Anyhow, if anyone else wants the control center and doesn't have it. it is "gnome-control-center"
[06:13] <Downix> for some reason it defaulted to the ps2 port, but I prefer the serial mouse
[06:13] <Enselic> achtzehn: you can do it losslessly with ffmpeg
[06:13] <wailer> got feisty from a magazine dvd
[06:13] <Downix> yes it's an old system
[06:13] <Downix> 8)
[06:13] <pike_> achtzehn: audacity as stated is very nice and intuitive
[06:13] <achtzehn> Enselic: ! oh great I didn't know that
[06:13] <Enselic> achtzehn: ffmpeg -i original.mp3 -ss 10 withoput-first-10-seconds.mp3
[06:13] <Downix> I use audacity for my audio work
[06:14] <Enselic> achtzehn: you might need to complie ffmpeg yourself first though to get the mp3 encoding support
[06:14] <larson9999> got this dazzle thing given to me.  wonder if it'll work
[06:14] <Ubnub> hello, I can't get sound working in my new install
[06:14] <Enselic> achtzehn: sorry, you need   -acodec copy   too
[06:14] <fsuddin> hello all
[06:14] <pike_> !sound | Ubnub
[06:14] <achtzehn> Enselic, can one also make a fade-in?
[06:14] <ubotu> Ubnub: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[06:14] <MDK2> hey, new user here
[06:14] <MDK2> glad to be apart of the community
[06:14] <wailer> jimmygoon: did not know it wasn't in the final release  apologies
[06:14] <pike_> Ubnub: hope that helps
[06:14] <fsuddin> so whats with gloobuntu
[06:15] <fsuddin> or goobuntu
[06:15] <fsuddin> or whatever it's called
[06:15] <MDK2> even tho i'll probably be leeching information rather then contributing it =P
[06:15] <jimmygoon> wailer, it may have been, I might be confused, I'm not sure at this point, but I don't think it was, but now I'm intrigued and am going to isntall it :D
[06:15] <fsuddin> the one google wants to make
[06:15] <Enselic> achtzehn: I don't think so, but with mencoder you can afaik
[06:15] <pike_> MDK2: thats usually a given for first 6 months or so :)
[06:15] <Enselic> achtzehn: not losslellsy though, obviously
[06:15] <fsuddin> anyone willing to field an install question?
[06:15] <jimmygoon> arun, it would be dpkg -i --force-downgrade PACKAGE.dev
[06:16] <Enselic> !ask | fsuddin
[06:16] <ubotu> fsuddin: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:16] <fsuddin> word
[06:16] <jimmygoon> arun, it would be dpkg -i --force-downgrade PACKAGE.deb
[06:16] <fsuddin> basically
[06:16] <MDK2> pike: sounds like a deal to me =P
[06:16] <Some_ux> hullo
[06:16] <fsuddin> i booted with tht ubuntu cd, clicked onthe install icon and and i get two errors:
[06:16] <wailer> jimmygoon: ubuntu is working hard to be user friendly - GUI - control center makes things easier for sure
[06:16] <fsuddin> problem while loading OAFID:GNOME panel_trashApplet and the same with Mixer Applet
[06:16] <fsuddin> shall i ignore
[06:17] <Some_ux> never been in such a busy open Irc channel
[06:17] <lindar> Where can I find the development headers for GTK 2.0?
[06:17] <Enselic> fsuddin: did you check the CD for defects? there is a menu when booting it
[06:17] <fsuddin> i did
[06:17] <fsuddin> is it my cd?
[06:17] <jimmygoon> wailer, strange. I have it installed but it doesn't show up in Pref/Admin and it doesn't replace "system" either :S I would actually like that better :S
[06:17] <achtzehn> Enselic, so helpful, thank you!
[06:17] <jimmygoon> fsuddin, sounds like a problem with the CD
[06:17] <lindar> My terminal tells me, "You must have the GTK+ 2.0 development headers installed to compile Pidgin." So where do I get those?
[06:17] <Enselic> achtzehn: np :)
[06:17] <MDK2> PROBLEM: I just burned my ubuntu 7.04 disc... i run windows now... need to repartition so that I can dual boot windows and linux without reformatting... PM me with advice, thank you.
[06:18] <Some_ux> GDK ? is that some sort of lib based on Gimp ?
[06:18] <jimmygoon> fsuddin, is this plain 7.04 desktop? Try doing the disk check and then trying again
[06:18] <fsuddin> also when i initially boot with the cd before it loads ubuntu i get this error: Buffer I/O error on device fd0 logical block 0
[06:18] <fsuddin> ok
[06:18] <SeveredCross> lindar: sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[06:18] <fsuddin> theni get a hdc:drive not ready for command
[06:18] <fsuddin> but ultimately it loads
[06:18] <fsuddin> after an hour or so
[06:18] <lindar> SeveredCross: You're awesome.
[06:18] <jimmygoon> fsuddin, are you launching the CD from a floppy boot disk? cause fd0 is the floppy drive (I'm think)
[06:18] <Downix> egads, Ubuntu impresses me
[06:18] <SeveredCross> lindar: Nah. :)
[06:18] <fsuddin> no
[06:18] <fsuddin> i dont have a floppy drive
[06:18] <MinuteElectron> How do I install emacs? (i.e. what apt-get do I want?)
[06:18] <jimmygoon> MDK2, search for 'gparted' tutorials in reference to dual booting
[06:19] <wailer> jimmygoon: someone earlier ( apologies ) said to right click applications to add stuff if I'm not wrong
[06:19] <jimmygoon> fsuddin, hm, strange
[06:19] <fsuddin> from the cd image i burned and booted with
[06:19] <SeveredCross> lindar: Make your life easier: sudo apt-get build-dep gaim
[06:19] <SeveredCross> Most of the build depends are the same.
[06:19] <Downix> is there a floppy install system for it?  I'll put it on his laptop too
[06:19] <saylar> hey guys
[06:19] <fsuddin> any clue? i just want to abandon windows and embrace ubuntu
[06:19] <saylar> i got a problem with my soundcard (creative audigy 2). i had to replace my motherboard with a new one, i'm using the old system and everything is working except the soundcard. any ideas what could cause the problem?
[06:19] <fsuddin> why
[06:19] <fsuddin> oh why
[06:19] <fsuddin> cant i
[06:19] <lindar> SeveredCross: You're right. You've just launched me into dependency hell.
[06:20] <lindar> blar
[06:20] <pike_> fsuddin: thats the install cd? id grab alternate installer though i dont know itd matter with that error. ive found livecd  to only be useful on pretty new machines
[06:20] <Ubnub> i have the same problem with creative audigy 2
[06:20] <pike_> fsuddin: too slow and cluttered
[06:20] <saylar> well, it was working fine with the old motherboard
[06:20] <fsuddin> whats too slow and cluttered
[06:20] <lindar> I wanted to use pidgin because GAIM keeps crashing.
[06:20] <fsuddin> i hope you dont mean me :)
[06:20] <Downix> saylar:  which chipset on each mobo?
[06:20] <Ultrabucket> Pidgin is better than game
[06:20] <fsuddin> well is there an installer without live cd? i know i want this
[06:21] <pike_> fsuddin: the livecd :)
[06:21] <jimmygoon> fsuddin, How old is your PC?
[06:21] <fsuddin> hehehe
[06:21] <fsuddin> ok
[06:21] <fsuddin> that makes me feel better
[06:21] <saylar> let me check Downix
[06:21] <pike_> !alternate | fsuddin
[06:21] <ubotu> fsuddin: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal
[06:21] <pike_> fsuddin: its not really any harder to install
[06:21] <fsuddin> ok, can i boot with this cd?
[06:21] <fsuddin> the alternate one
[06:21] <Enselic> fsuddin: yes
[06:22] <pike_> fsuddin: yeah but only to a limited shell otherwise itll just load the installer
[06:22] <Holek_> pike_: sed don't work with pipe
[06:22] <fsuddin> i want ubuntu to take the whole disk space and i dont have a windowed cd to format my computer first
[06:22] <Ubnub> how do you change the default audio device? i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting, but I didn't get it to work
[06:22] <arun> Is there anything I can do to improve how KDE apps look in Ubuntu?
[06:22] <saylar> the old one had an nForce 430 chipset
[06:22] <fsuddin> ok so in summary: download and use the alternate cd
[06:22] <arun> Make them use the native GTK skins if possible?
[06:23] <Holek_> pike_: it wants a file, while I want him make changes in simple string
[06:23] <Some_ux> well , here goes: I've just install ubuntu on my laptop. Bit overwhelmed by it. I cant enable desktop effects, as i get a white screen. I've searched the forums for a solution but did not find one which worked. To the best of my (limited knowledge) it would appear that GLX for my nvidia 7300GO card is not functioning properly. (I also get a: Failed to allocate mem message when the kernel boots)
[06:23] <pike_> Holek_: something like cat file.txt | sed 's/foo/bar/g' > newfile.txt
[06:23] <saylar> Ubnub: there was no need for me to change anything, i put in the card and it was detected
[06:23] <pike_> Holek_: yeah you can do that too
[06:23] <Holek_> pike_: with...?
[06:23] <pike_> Holek_: can you pastebin what youre trying to do with sed?
[06:23] <saylar> and the new motherboard has a AMD's 690 chipset
[06:23] <Ubnub> really? mine keeps on using the realtek drivers, but i want it to use the audigy
[06:23] <pike_> Holek_: of if its like a line or two here
[06:24] <pike_> of/or
[06:24] <saylar> but it's like half a year ago that i installed the thing, so i can't remember ;)
[06:24] <Holek_> pike_: better tell you ;) I just want to change in bash in $astring this "/", into this "\"
[06:24] <wailer> Some_ux: disable desktop effects then set your card up first
[06:24] <ubuntu__> ok i have xp installed how do i make xp 20gb and ubuntu the rest of the hd
[06:24] <saylar> now when i try to start mpg123 with a song it says can not open default sound device
[06:25] <ubuntu__> im a teh partition part
[06:25] <Some_ux> wailer: how do i setup my card ? (I'm a linux newb)
[06:26] <lindar> I'm having particular difficulty with a set of .WAV files that came packaged with a sequencer that I have. Any media player I use says I need a codec to play the files, but it doesn't tell me WHAT codec.
[06:26] <lindar> Any way I can tell what codec I need?
[06:26] <pike_> Holek_: /join #bash and meet me in there
[06:26] <westly> !netscape
[06:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about netscape - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:26] <Grungebunny> what are some of the better irc clients for linux?
[06:27] <ashu18> i have a monitor synchronisation problem...can anyone help me?
[06:27] <westly> !navigator
[06:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about navigator - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:27] <Blissex> lindar: '.wav' os the extension for AIFF format container files. Various tools exist that scan AIFF containers to tell what is inside, directly or heuristically.
[06:27] <lindar> Grungebunny: Chatzilla and xChat.
[06:27] <Downix> Grungebunny:  I use BitchX, have for years
[06:27] <kekk> Grungebunny, xchat for example
[06:27] <wailer> Some_ux: there is an entry for restricted drivers -system - admin - restrict... - go there
[06:27] <Downix> but I'm also a console junkie
[06:27] <westly> is there a netscape navigator for ubuntu?
[06:27] <saylar> irssi if you like the commandline ;)
[06:27] <Grungebunny> downix is it still terminal based? I know it was years ago
[06:27] <lindar> Blissex: Link?
[06:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Grungebunny: Konversation, KVIrc
[06:27] <Jeruvy> lindar you could turn on all the repo's in the universe and look for the codec with the container you require
[06:27] <Downix> westly:  Firefox
[06:27] <Blissex> Grungebunny: it is a very wide question. Depends a lot on your style inclinations. Some people prefer text based, some prefer cute, some prefer functional.
[06:27] <westly> I like netscape
[06:27] <fsuddin> wow u guys are great
[06:28] <fsuddin> and gals
[06:28] <Blissex> lindar: just do a web search for AIFF tools...
[06:28] <fsuddin> thanks
[06:28] <Downix> Grungebunny:  I think someone made an X version, let me check
[06:28] <dapjer> hi all i hope some one can help me( ive bought an entire new pc without OS but i boot the install cd (5.10) it runs and suddenly stops and says at the end (0)"kenel panic" trie to kill idle or so ...

[06:28] <kbrosnan> westly: new netscape like v8 or old netscape like version 7 or less?
[06:28] <Some_ux> wailer: I only see an entry for my wireless in the restricted drivers

[06:31] <gforties> !ask | ashu18
[06:31] <ubotu> ashu18: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:31] <ashu18> gfortis: i have asked the question already twice, if you haven't noticed
[06:32] <alanhaggai> Hi, ubuntu-destop is being removed when I do: sudo apt-get remove gaim . How can I remove gaim without removing ubuntu-desktop?
[06:32] <Downix> Ok, need to buy more ram and a vid card for this system here
[06:32] <bruenig> alanhaggai, ubuntu-desktop is a meta package hack, it is not of any significance, just let it go
[06:32] <ashu18> gforties: i have already asked the question twice, if you haven't seen yet
[06:32] <Downix> any good course for an nVidia PCI card?
[06:32] <Downix> 8)
[06:32] <alanhaggai> bruenig, thank you :)
[06:32] <wailer> Some_ux: u r saying there is no entry for synaptic packet manager

[06:33] <Some_ux> wailer: my bad, found it
[06:33] <kekk> bruenig, yes
[06:34] <seba> can someone help with smartlink modem installation ?
[06:34] <bruenig> kekk, a somewhat hackish way to fix it is just to add ifup rausb1 to /etc/rc.local so that the command is run at boot
[06:34] <kekk> bruenig, ok, thanks, I will do that
[06:34] <ukkeli> hi
[06:34] <gforties> ashu18: if you feel you must post for help multiple times, do everyone a favor and post the full question again so that we don't have to scroll up to find what you said earlier (asuming we didnt join after you posted in the first place)

[06:42] <DaBeowulf> Can you use LD_PRELOAD to override multiple libraries on running a bin in the terminal?
[06:42] <Johto> Optimus55: if you really have time and patience, and skill, and compatible hardware, try running it outside vmware, like in "native" real mode..its 90% like the real thing if ur harware is supported, www.insanelymac.com forum gives more info ...
[06:42] <Some_ux> wailer: I see a whole bunch of glx related packages

[06:45] <recon> I found a great perl tutorial at http://www.perl.org/books/beginning-perl/ , however, _every single chapter is a seperate PDF file_. Is there any way to contencate them, or at least, make them a bit more convienent to access? I know this isn't strictly a ubuntu problem, but figured this'd be the best place to ask.
[06:45] <Optimus55> Johto: and this is on x86 hardware?
[06:45] <matthew_> thanks
[06:46] <saylar> recon, try wget
[06:46] <Johto> Optimus55: yes
[06:46] <bruenig> recon, hmm, I would pick a perhaps more knowledgeable room myself
[06:46] <saylar> i don't know the exact syntax, but wget can do that for sure
[06:46] <wailer> Some_ux: if it is not " 64 " not ' devel ' not to do with a game then it is what will help
[06:46] <Johto> Optimus55: i can give u link to youtube video of the same setup
[06:46] <matthew_> ok, so I am trying to SSH into my desktop from my laptop but it is saying "connection denied".  how do I allow connection?
[06:46] <Johto> Optimus55: my video

[06:51] <wailer> Some_ux: at the top of the synaptic package manager there is -  settings - click that - repositories
[06:52] <christian_> bruenig: I don't think so. You don't mean Applications from the regular menu at your desktop?
[06:52] <bruenig> Calix, try to recreate the error while launching from terminal to see if something is revealed

[06:52] <vsayikiran> how to record voice in ubuntu 7.0.4
[06:52] <Some_ux> ckin2001: it says : universe multiverse
[06:52] <christian_> bruenig: I don't understand where that is.
[06:52] <Optimus55> Johto: looks nice. vid quality is a lil poor, but otherwise nice. thing is.. it looks a lot like my ubuntu setup with beryl :D lol i didnt even kno mac had a cube.
[06:52] <Calix> it only errors when on the other accounts, ill try to do it from there

[06:53] <christian_> wtf
[06:54] <vsayikiran> does anyone know how to record voice in ubunut
[06:54] <bruenig> christian_, so /usr/share/applications would be like C:\usr\share\applications or some such

[07:10] <Grungebunny> okay on partitioning.. 20 gigs is 20,000 megs right?
[07:10] <stefg> kekk: have you checked if you require any firmware and put it in place properly?
[07:11] <mtfuchs> hi
[07:11] <wailer> christian_: first off - I was talking about desktop icons & making them smaller - is that what you want?
[07:11] <stefg> kekk: check 'dmesg' for suspicious messages
[07:11] <kekk> stefg, it worked fine under xubuntu, out of the box
[07:11] <mtfuchs> does usplash meanwhile support typing in luks passwords during the boot process whithout stopping usplash?

[07:15] <kekk> matthew_ , scp
[07:15] <wailer> christian: in the corner probably means it is a panel object - what is the icon you want to make smaller - so I can be sure

[07:15] <matthew_> kekk: I don't understand how to use scp.  can you give an example
[07:15] <kekk> type man scp
[07:15] <lindar> It needs some sort of dependency, GIn.
[07:16] <ashu18> stefg: what's exactly the monitor synchronisation problem that u were talking about yesterday?
[07:16] <bullgard4> stefg: Hm. Thanks for suggesting. I will try to observe it more closely.
[07:16] <Lamego> matthew_, you can use the file browser for that
[07:16] <matthew_> kekk:  I did.  like most man pages, it helps almost none
[07:16] <kekk> matthew_ , can't help you then, haven't used it myself

[07:21] <Ultrabucket> Uh, I was installing pidgin, but I hadn't uninstalled gaim, so I think I'll just stick with gaim. So, anyway, I have this almost finished pidgin thing though, how do I remove it?
[07:21] <matthew_> ckin2001:  didn't work.  While logged into ssh I tried:  scp file matthew@matthew-laptop:/home/matthew/file  and it said: ssh: matthew-laptop: Name or service not known
[07:21] <bruenig> Ultrabucket, how were you installing it
[07:22] <stefg> empty: that's quite harmless. read about secure apt and update the key from tuxfamily
[07:22] <bruenig> matthew_, you need to give the ip I believe
[07:22] <Ultrabucket> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-pidgin-instant-messanger-in-ubuntu.html
[07:22] <lindar> Any way I can convert a batch of audio files into regular .wav files without having to individually convert each one? Any particular program that can do that?
[07:22] <Ultrabucket> I just searched for that, and I was using it.
[07:22] <DrClaw> When I open a file in Cinelerra the first 9 min of audio are fine then it goes to static noise for the next 9 min then keeps alternating. Do you think this could be a sound card driver issue? Kino has no problem with the file.

[07:22] <bruenig> Ultrabucket, so deb?
[07:23] <Ultrabucket> Yup
[07:23] <bruenig> Ultrabucket, and the deb didn't remove gaim?

[07:23] <Ultrabucket> oh right
[07:24] <Lamego> Ultrabucket, are you seeking for a pidgin package for Feisty ?
[07:24] <Moniker42> hey, how do i find out which of my partitions is the boot partition?
[07:24] <bruenig> Ultrabucket, but if it didn't remove gaim, and I think it probably should have removed it but third party debs are sketchy that way, then just apt-get remove pdigin
[07:24] <stefg> johnficca1: you won't get a native reso, but interpolated 1024x768 looks decent. i mean it's the splash, nothing /really/ important

[07:28] <Ultrabucket> Thanks for the help, and heads up.
[07:29] <stefg> marko-_-: did you have any particular reason not to use the nvidia-drivers from the ubuntu-repos? I think you disable the restricted manager by sidestepping the offical installation method, so teh driver for your wifi is affected

[07:33] <Lamego> marko-_-, that was not the question, the question is why have you followed a risky procedure that caused your latest problem
[07:33] <stefg> !wifi | marko-_-
[07:33] <ubotu> marko-_-: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[07:33] <marko-_-> Lamego, because i tryed like everything for the last 5 days and nothing worked

[07:34] <Golhn> Someone may help me with this. The sound works sometimes but others no, no error just no sound
[07:34] <tamino> does anyone run ubuntu at 1440x900?
[07:34] <Ahadiel> vsayikiran, sudo aptitude install audacity
[07:34] <evri2> can someone help me with flv files?I cannot seek!
[07:34] <Lamego> marko-_-, you have a new problem, because you have done something unsupported, you have resolved one problem and created another
[07:35] <Lamego> and I am trying to figure your initial problem, so that you can revert, your change
[07:35] <marko-_-> and that's why I'm asing now what to do
[07:35] <vsayikiran> first i want too know whthr it detect my internal mic h/w
[07:35] <maek> anyone know of any 802.11n adapters that are supported without ndiswrapper? thanks.
[07:35] <Lamego> mark_, another person already told you, probably your wifi depends on a restricted driver, which you have disabled as part of your fix on the initial problem
[07:35] <vsayikiran> well is there ny problem with sound recorder
[07:36] <marko-_-> and what should i do now ?
[07:36] <Lamego> mark_, meaning, without understanding, you broke your wifi support, to have graphics card support
[07:36] <vsayikiran> my lappy is Dell latitude D520n
[07:36] <Lamego> you should first tell us,  what is your graphics card, what was your initial problem
[07:36] <stefg> vsayikiran: what sound hardware do you have?
[07:36] <vsayikiran> sigmatel

[07:40] <qazibasit> coz it will format all the drives u have
[07:40] <angel> ok
[07:40] <BlackSliver> can anyone msg me who knows about raid installation?
[07:40] <stefg> fsuddin: if you have just a single harddisk on a desktop machine don't use lvm. makes things unnecessary complex
[07:40] <angel> how can i run paltalk on ubuntu?
[07:40] <ckin2001> delman - ls -l /opt/thunderbird/mozilla-thunderbird-bin
[07:40] <qazibasit> i know
[07:40] <BlackSliver> *raid0
[07:40] <qazibasit> well do one thing
[07:40] <Ultrabucket> Lamego
[07:40] <Lamego> BlackSliver, do you understand the risks of using RAID0 ?
[07:40] <qazibasit> if u have windows del the partitions on which u want to install linux
[07:40] <BlackSliver> uhm..
[07:41] <dutler> >	hello y'all - i need help getting an app to start automatically when tomcat starts. i have ubuntu7.04 sunjava6, tomcat5.5.23, and postgresql8.2  (iv asked in the tomcat channel and only got anti unbuntu response back :))
[07:41] <qazibasit> and then in linux when it asks for partition
[07:41] <qazibasit> use raid and manual procedure
[07:41] <Lamego> blackest, if one of the disks fails, you will be unable to recover the data from ALL the disks on the RAID
[07:41] <qazibasit> and make a "/" partition that is the root
[07:41] <Lamego> i mean, BlackSliver
[07:41] <delmar> ckin2001, ahh silly me. u are right.. that isn't even there.. but what has happened? :(
[07:41] <BlackSliver> i know what raid0 is
[07:41] <ckin2001> not sure :p
[07:41] <BlackSliver> thats not the point
[07:41] <Lamego> ok :P
[07:41] <BlackSliver> im going to make backups to the network
[07:42] <fsuddin> stefg thanks
[07:42] <doug1234> how do i swap music movies and music vids from ubuntu to xp and vise versa and beable to play music in xp and run ubuntu?
[07:42] <qazibasit> and then make a swap for like 500 MB
[07:42] <angel> i installed paltalk on ubuntu successfully but cannot get it to run
[07:42] <BlackSliver> im installing winxp (as secondary os) at this moment
[07:42] <ckin2001> if your profile is still in home directory, i would reinstall
[07:42] <BlackSliver> seems to work so far
[07:42] <ckin2001> i saw an update for thunderbird in my synaptic upgrades today
[07:42] <delmar> ckin2001, is there supposed to be a symlink to thunderbird-bin perhaps?
[07:42] <BlackSliver> thus windows is the dumb system i think its okay to install it first ^
[07:42] <Pelo> doug1234,  make a fat32 partition and put the movies and music on it , you can access it from both OS
[07:42] <qazibasit> i am new on ubuntu
[07:42] <hambobo> wats the command for the menu.lst
[07:42] <qazibasit> but its more like fedora
[07:43] <IAmWill> is it even possible to get pcsx to work and not freeze up?
[07:43] <doug1234> pelo how do i make a fat32?
[07:43] <Pelo> hambobo, gome again ?
[07:43] <sparr> all of my kde apps want to use the same wallet, "kdewallet", is there any way to change that?  i want some to use a password-less wallet, and others to use the normal kdewallet
[07:43] <qazibasit> not good than fedora but i feel that its good in a sense that it detects my device drivers
[07:43] <hambobo> how do i get to the menu.lst
[07:43] <stefg> sparr: #kubuntu
[07:43] <xjkx> Samba problem http://www.pastebin.ca/670363
[07:43] <sparr> stefg: yes
[07:44] <Ultrabucket> Oh
[07:44] <Pelo> doug1234,  install gparted,  make some room on a hdd by resizing one of the partitions on it,   create a fat32 (vfat) partition in the available space
[07:44] <Ultrabucket> That was easy
[07:44] <delmar> ckin2001, created a symlink and that works
[07:44] <ckin2001> ahh, k
[07:44] <angel> any 1 got paltalk working on ubuntu or linux red hats?
[07:44] <ckin2001> weird that it disappeared :./
[07:44] <stefg> sparr: i mean, please ask that in the #kubuntu irc channle.. this is ubuntu... gnome-centric
[07:44] <Pelo> hambobo,   gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst   don't delete anything just comment it out

[07:45] <BlackSliver> so.. back to my problem ^^
[07:45] <Pelo> doug1234, fyi that will only work if you on a hdd you are not using,  you might want to do it from the live cd,  you wonT' need to intall gparted, it's in the admin menu
[07:45] <BlackSliver> is it possible to install ubuntu with extended install disk on raid0 (hardware raid)

[07:47] <gnomefreak> r00723r0: ?
[07:47] <stefg> delmar: there's a third party repo for TB 2 (some italian guy) I'd suggest uninstalling all thunderbirds (the manually added, and the 1,5 from the repos), add the feisty TB 2.0 repo and reinstall from there. This will end the mess you're in
[07:47] <r00723r0> gnomefreak: nothing, sorted out
[07:47] <nalioth> gnomefreak: spammer
[07:47] <Downix> Flannel:  build AROS
[07:47] <gnomefreak> k
[07:47] <Pelo> doug1234, it will be easier for a new user anyway
[07:47] <doug1234> pelo how big does this fat32 have to be?
[07:47] <Flannel> Downix: alright.  You should install the 'build-essential' package
[07:47] <qazibasit> hm
[07:47] <sparr> stefg: so, since we understand each other  :)
[07:48] <delmar> stefg, yeah a TB 2.x repo would be great. any info/links to the repo details?
[07:48] <marko-_-> well ?
[07:48] <Pelo> doug1234, how much space do you need for your movies and music ?  how much room can you spare from your OSes ?
[07:48] <Grungebunny> pelo mah man hows it hangin?
[07:48] <marko-_-> Lamego, ?
[07:48] <Downix> Flannel:  First distro I've found without being able to compile something out of the box.  Guess I got spoiled with gentoo
[07:48] <Pelo> hello Grungebunny   , half way down to my knees
[07:48] <stefg> delmar: deb http://ubuntu.iuculano.it feisty thunderbird
[07:48] <doug1234> well all i got is 80gb so i got xp 20gb and ubuntu 60
[07:48] <delmar> stefg, mint. thanks. will look into that.
[07:48] <dutler> so, i dont see a ubuntu server change... where should i collab / get help for issues like mine?
[07:49] <Pelo> doug1234,  20 gig for sharing would be ok I think
[07:49] <hambobo> how do i change windows into defult OS
[07:49] <Novagenesis> hello..having some problems mounting my ipod
[07:49] <Flannel> Downix: There's very little need to compile anything.  Most people wouldn't use it, so it's wasted space on the CD.  It's super easy to install a toolchain though.
[07:49] <doug1234> so pelo ur saying make the fat32 20gb's?
[07:49] <Pelo> Novagenesis,  use gtkpod
[07:49] <Novagenesis> it's on scsi9 for some reason..i can't find a mounting point for that
[07:49] <Downix> Flannel:  So I'm seeing.
[07:49] <Pelo> doug1234, its, only a suggestion
[07:50] <Novagenesis> gtkpod seems to want me to have it mounted first, unless i'm missing something
[07:50] <Downix> Build-essential is already the newest edition
[07:50] <Flannel> dutler: which app do you want to start when tomcat starts?
[07:50] <doug1234> pelo: well i heard of a way of accessing and swaping files back and forth from one os to another with some kinda program i can install on xp
[07:50] <dutler> hi, its openbravo
[07:50] <Downix> ok, now it's running configure w/o a problem.  *boggle**
[07:50] <Pelo> Novagenesis, I know several ppl have a hardtime getting ipods to work , there is probably some more info in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org
[07:50] <doug1234> pelo: also heard itd let u play music off xp
[07:51] <Lamego> doug1234, you can use an ext3 driver
[07:51] <Skrypt> how do I create two SSH tunnels at once? For example, I want to tunnel to this IRC and another IRC... would it be... ssh -C -L 1234:irc.freenode.net:6667 4321:irc.afraidyet.net:6667 -p 22 skrypt@64.62.187.2    ?
[07:51] <qazibasit> i didnt get such problem with my ipod
[07:51] <Novagenesis> Pelo, While I've checked at least 15 sites, and haven't found a solution, I'll check out ubuntuforums.org
[07:51] <doug1234> lamego how much space does that need?
[07:51] <Seveas> Skrypt, almost correct

[07:53] <Pelo> doug1234,  you can put yoru stuff on the fat32 partition and leave it there ,  you can both ubuntu and windows xp have native access to fat32 so you will be able to use the files from both
[07:53] <Seveas> !find pngtopnm
[07:53] <Novagenesis> right now, the ipod getting plugged in isn't even showing up in dmesg

[07:55] <Pelo> BlackSliver, I gave you instructuions on using  ubuntu with raid about 30 min ago
[07:56] <arcad3> fredl: halt
[07:56] <stefg> BlackSliver: software raid is done very differently in Linux and windows, so no way to use a Linux softraid in windows
[07:56] <BlackSliver> http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/raid.html
[07:56] <BlackSliver> that was the first link
[07:56] <evri2> Can someone help me with flv files?I cannot seek.(plz do not suggest converting)
[07:56] <vsayikiran> i am trying to record sound
[07:56] <BlackSliver> is it possible with that method to use bot ubuntu and windows?
[07:56] <asafm> Where do you change the input source to mic on Alsamixer?
[07:56] <Nalleman> alex___, cant find it, but maybe "exiftags" would do?
[07:56] <vsayikiran> in my ubuntu OS
[07:57] <fredl> arcad3, suspend with halt? how does that work?
[07:57] <Pelo> vsayikiran, don'T use the enter key for punctuation it makes you hard to follow

[07:58] <nalioth> numus: there is no such thing as "installing on top of"
[07:58] <fredl> arcad3 - I asked about suspending the system, not a complete powerdown.
[07:58] <Flannel> numus: Which autoload settings?  For gnome?
[07:58] <Novagenesis> ok, my ipod is neither mounted nor nonmounted...removing it physically and re-adding it doesn't make any changes to dmesg and my OS doesn't even detect anything there..is there a clean fast way to flush that out and let it detect the ipod again?
[07:58] <numus> yes flannel
[07:58] <feross> fredl: try 'suspend'

[08:00] <fredl> which pkg is that in ckin2001?

[08:03] <bobn> I have a strange problem.  I boot a machine up and let it get IP via DHCP.  Then I edit /etc/network/interfaces to make it a different, static IP.  Then I do '/etc/init.d/networking restart' but afterwards the DHCP address is still in use.  Rebotting the machine causes the static address to be used.  Any ideas what is doing this?
[08:03] <fredl> hmmm... well currently I think the suspend/hybernate on my system is done through ACPI which I understood is preferable over APM....
[08:03] <nalioth> tigran: google and use cygwin
[08:03] <Pelo> tigran,  I only understood half of what you asked, but I'm pretty sure the answer is no
[08:03] <fredl> and it works well from GNOME too, so I'm not sure if I want to mess that up.
[08:03] <tigran> Ive been googling for 3 days lol
[08:04] <nalioth> tigran: cygwin is a unix like toolset for windows
[08:04] <fredl> so I'll go ask on #gnome I guess how I can do the Gnome suspend from the command line, thanks guys
[08:04] <feross> fredl: when you suspend in gnome does it look like your lappy is completely off or do you see a blinking light somewhere?

[08:22] <ahmadsaifan> when i click on #beryl, i go to compiz-fusion
[08:22] <ahmadsaifan> not beryl
[08:22] <fyrestrtr> ahmadsaifan: compiz-fusion is the new beryl.
[08:22] <asdf> I'm trying to create a bash script so that I can right-click on an image and automatically upload it via FTP -- can anyone help?
[08:22] <ahmadsaifan> ok
[08:22] <IAmWill> fyrestrtr, ask the beryl channel about a package problem in an ubuntu os?
[08:22] <ikonia> ahmadsaifan: its been merged] 
[08:22] <fyrestrtr> IAmWill: ask them how to upgrade to compiz-fusion ;)
[08:22] <Ax-Ax> i want to downgrade to fiesty, even thogh i didn't upgrade to gutsy
[08:22] <ssarangi> Hi all, can anyone tell me how to install feisty fawn with a usb flash drive
[08:22] <ikonia> ssarangi: its not straight forward
[08:22] <stefg> !install | ssarangi
[08:22] <ubotu> ssarangi: 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
[08:22] <fyrestrtr> Ax-Ax: what did you install from fiesty?
[08:23] <ikonia> ssarangi: there is a document on the community maintained wiki
[08:23] <doug1234> pelo
[08:23] <Telio> Please, i wanna test the gutsy in my notebook. My doubt is it will work the wireless (ipw3945) it will work or i have to install manually?
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> Ax-Ax: from gutsy rather.
[08:23] <IAmWill> fyrestrtr, i know how to do that... I am trying to get libwnck to downgrade in xubuntu before I install emerald
[08:23] <ikonia> Telio: so test it
[08:23] <DudeMcGee> So if my wireless card isn't on the hardware support page then I can pretty much deduce Unbuntu isn't going to be a good choice?
[08:23] <ssarangi> ikonia: I found one which said to do a modprobe
[08:23] <Ax-Ax>  fyrestrtr: i can check
[08:23] <Spaceman3750> Yay, I finally got SMF with TinyPortal working
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> IAmWill: the real answer it to check the policy for the package.
[08:23] <ikonia> ssarangi: there is more than a modprobe
[08:23] <Spaceman3750> DudeMcGee: Probably
[08:23] <DudeMcGee> I don't see my wireless card listed and I depend pretty heavily on wireless.
[08:23] <finite9> multiload-applet-2 is consuming a constant 3% CPU.  What is this utility used for and why is it consuming during idle?
[08:23] <doug1234> pelo: it wouldnt let me do the fat32
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> IAmWill: there is some deb trick to 'freeze' a version; it escapes me now.
[08:23] <ahmadsaifan> fryrestrtr, why noone is talking there?
[08:23] <ssarangi> ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html#usb-copy-flexible is this the link
[08:24] <ikonia> IAmWill: apt-policy
[08:24] <fyrestrtr> ahmadsaifan: probably all are trying to figure out why the videos aren't working :)
[08:24] <IAmWill> fyrestrtr, k, will take a look into that
[08:24] <magnetron> DudeMcGee: more like that wireless card is a poor choice :D
[08:24] <doug1234> pelo it said i cant do it to lack of space i resized the one but it still wouldnt do it
[08:24] <ahmadsaifan> ok
[08:24] <Telio> [ikonia] : i will.. im downloading right now.. i am asking if someone had experienced gutsy with ipw3945
[08:24] <ikonia> ssarangi: what do you want me to do with that link ?
[08:24] <IAmWill> ikonia, okay, are the older packages still in the repos?
[08:24] <ikonia> Telio: it works in fesity
[08:24] <fyrestrtr> Telio: is that intel wifi? Looks like it. If so, it should work.
[08:24] <ikonia> IAmWill: yes
[08:24] <ssarangi> ikonia: Just wanted to confirm that it is the same link or not
[08:24] <IAmWill> ikonia, they just dont list them?
[08:24] <ikonia> ssarangi: there are many links
[08:24] <hambobo> wats the command for menu.lst
[08:25] <ikonia> IAmWill: who doesn't list them where ?
[08:25] <ikonia> hambobo: you need an editor
[08:25] <lindar> Where do I get the most recent GTK devel headers?
[08:25] <fyrestrtr> IAmWill: it only lists what is to be installed by the package policy.
[08:25] <ikonia> hambobo: the program "grub" uses it
[08:25] <Telio> [ikonia] : 7.04? Automatically? I installed Mandriva and did not work.. Thanks for help..
[08:25] <Ax-Ax> fyrestrtr: a lot of things from deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted
[08:25] <DudeMcGee> The Dell mini-card 1500 is a pretty popular wireless card.
[08:25] <fyrestrtr> lindar: from gnome.org ?
[08:25] <ssarangi> ikonia: how about using the hdd.. is it a bit straightforward
[08:25] <hambobo> wat the command
[08:25] <DudeMcGee> I don't see why Ubuntu wouldn't support it.
[08:25] <ikonia> Telio: what has mandriva got to do with it?
[08:25] <ikonia> ssarangi: nope
[08:25] <fyrestrtr> Ax-Ax: eh ... good luck.
[08:25] <ikonia> hambobo: what command for what ?
[08:25] <Ax-Ax> i know
[08:25] <finite9> anybody know about multiload-applet??
[08:26] <IAmWill> ikonia, list them in the managers... ie synaptic
[08:26] <hambobo> boot(slash)grub(slash)menu.lst
[08:26] <Mba7eth> hi all
[08:26] <fyrestrtr> hambobo: its /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:26] <ikonia> IAmWill: you don't install a card in synaptic - you install software
[08:26] <hambobo> i cant use the slash
[08:26] <ikonia> hambobo: then your keyboard is setup wrong
[08:26] <DudeMcGee> Welp, I guess Ubuntu sucks then if it can't support popular technology.
[08:26] <fyrestrtr> check your keymap.
[08:26] <DudeMcGee> Not worth using.
[08:26] <fyrestrtr> DudeMcGee: guess so. Better go back to Windows :)
[08:26] <ckin2001> rofl
[08:27] <hambobo> is it gksu \boot\grub\menu.lst?
[08:27] <fyrestrtr> hambobo: NO
[08:27] <ikonia> hambobo: its /
[08:27] <abk> hambobo, gksu gedit
[08:28] <hambobo> ok
[08:28] <abk> then the file you want to edit
[08:28] <abk> in this case, /boot/grub/menu.lst
[08:28] <sal002> Anyone else try to run 7.10 on VirtualBox and get an old CPU error?
[08:28] <ahmadsaifan> #beryl
[08:28] <asdf> is there a way to send username and password to ftp from gnome-terminal?
[08:29] <Tortured> i just bought a new router, my wireless on my laptop has worked in the past, i havent modified anything in the settings and ubuntu wont connect to it even without wep .. can anyone help?
[08:29] <wailer> www.linuxdevcenter.com/linux/cmd/ !gksu
[08:29] <ikonia> sal002: 1.) virtualisation is not good for testing 2.) gusty is in development
[08:29] <stefg> !gutsy | sal002
[08:29] <ubotu> sal002: 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
[08:29] <wailer> !gksu
[08:29] <ubotu> If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[08:29] <ikonia> Tortured: setup your router
[08:29] <Tortured> ikonia: for what?
[08:29] <ikonia> Tortured: your wifi config
[08:29] <Mba7eth> guys i have just got a cisco router !! how can i access a router thru a rollover cable connected to the serial port on my box ?
[08:30] <Tortured> ikonia: config it for what?
[08:30] <ikonia> Mba7eth: minicom
[08:30] <ikonia> Tortured:setup your wirless network
[08:30] <sal002> ahhh...
[08:30] <Tortured> ikonia: i have
[08:30] <whta> a friend of mine is about to install but he needs to resize a windows partition. I've never had to do this so I'm just making sure that the risks of data loss in this process are fairly low?
[08:30] <ikonia> Tortured: then setup your ubuntu wireless card to connect to it
[08:30] <ikonia> Tortured: you can't swap routers and expect it to work, more so if your using keys
[08:31] <wailer> whta: defrag first
[08:31] <asdf> is there a way to send username and password to ftp from gnome-terminal?
[08:31] <faileas> whta: XP is fairly safe. vista has its own resizing tool.
[08:31] <ikonia> asdf man ftp
[08:31] <stefg> whta: i wouldn't consider it reliable, so it's the perfect moment for a backup
[08:31] <Tortured> ikonia: uh its not that simple without security on keys are not a factor
[08:31] <asdf> ikonia: couldn't figure it out from man
[08:31] <musya> does anybody know why the ubuntu servers are slow lately?
[08:31] <ikonia> Tortured: are you using security options ?
[08:31] <ikonia> musya: there are many, which ones. And no they are not all slow
[08:32] <whta> ok thanks all. also gparted can handle those resizes at install, right? or should i have him use a windows utility to do it
[08:32] <vlt> wanger: [NFS and symlink problem] : Thank you, yes, your link shows the problem but offers no solution. Mmh. When using CIFS from the client it would work fine.
[08:32] <musya> ikonia: when downloading php or java they are slow
[08:32] <Tortured> ikonia: as i said before, no. i have tried with and without wep running and it fails to connect either way
[08:32] <Bspec> how do i add/remove user accounts from ubuntu?
[08:32] <Esteth> I'm trying to use WINE for some fullscreen apps, but dualview is positioning the fullscreen across both of my monitors. Is there a way to tell dualview/wine to ignore the left-most monitor when i want to fullscreen? compiz does this for me for maximizing, but not for fullscreen.
[08:32] <musya> or even updates
[08:32] <wailer> musya: 11/2hr into a torrent for gutsy I lost connection to servers tonight - not happy
[08:33] <stefg> whta: rather use a windows utility to resize ntfs partitions. gparted can do it , but is slow and sometimes fails
[08:33] <musya> i cant always update either
[08:33] <snarrf> Hello. Does the amd64 version still have issues with 3d drivers, wine, flash, etc?
[08:33] <musya> i get bad connection
[08:33] <musya> and my internet is fine
[08:33] <Grungebunny> what is that package that lets you install the codecs to run mp3s and others?
[08:33] <ikonia> Tortured: and as I've said you can't just change routers and expect it to work
[08:33] <Esteth> Grungebunny: It depends what app you want to play them in
[08:34] <Grungebunny> esteth say amarok
[08:34] <TooR4u> Hii .. i am using fiesty on amd64 bit and i want to install realplayer ..  how to do that .. i have searched through google ...
[08:34] <coffeemug> hi everyone
[08:34] <TooR4u> But i am not able to find it
[08:34] <Tortured> ikonia: why not .. without security it should just pickup the signal, its all set to dhcp
[08:34] <BrendanW> I used the command compiz --replace -c emerald &, and now I have no bar at the top of any of my programs? What can I do to revert it back to normal?
[08:34] <Esteth> Grungebunny: I think amarok runs from xine codecs, so perhaps doing a search on synaptic for xine and finding the right packages will work. That's how it works for Exaile, rythmbox, and totem, but with gstreamer packages instead of xine
[08:34] <ckin2001> powercycle the router :p
[08:35] <ikonia> Tortured: well somethings not working then
[08:35] <coffeemug> how does one add a path to $PATH variable? I added it to .bashrc and it works only in shells, but it doesn't seem to be set for the entire session
[08:35] <giany911> macogw man i solved my issues with the mp3 player:)
[08:35] <Esteth> BrendanW: gtk-window-decorator --replace
[08:35] <Tortured> ikonia: well it works fine in macosx, but ubuntu will not connect to it
[08:35] <stefg> TooR4u: no realplayer for 64bit
[08:35] <ikonia> coffeemug: .bashrc is only for shells
[08:35] <wailer> TooR4u: tried synaptic
[08:35] <tinin> Hi, I'm compiling a game (freedroidrpg) and I get " WARNING: openGL libraries/headers could not be found. " What packages should I install?
[08:35] <TooR4u> wailer, yup
[08:35] <Random832> how do i get the old-school cursors?
[08:35] <ikonia> tinin: the opengl libraries
[08:35] <coffeemug> ikonia: I could add it to session, but then it will be only for essions
[08:35] <TooR4u> stefg, ohhh
[08:35] <tatters> this new gui for X where is located?
[08:36] <BrendanW> Esteth: Didn't work. :[
[08:36] <Random832> i.e. in cursor.bdf
[08:36] <coffeemug> is there a way to add to both without repeating myself
[08:36] <coffeemug> ?
[08:36] <ikonia> coffeemug: what are you talking about "sessions"
[08:36] <macogw> giany911: thats good. what was wrong?
[08:36] <soundray> coffeemug: to change it system-wide, edit /etc/environment
[08:36] <Esteth> BrendanW: hmm. I'm not sure then, sorry. That's allways been what worked for me when i lost window decorations :S
[08:36] <TooR4u> stefg, how to record "RSTP" protocol ..?
[08:36] <wailer> Toor4u: realplayer is a commercial program$$$
[08:36] <coffeemug> ikonia: gnome sesisons
[08:36] <TooR4u> wailer, ohh
[08:37] <coffeemug> soundray: I want to set it for a specific user
[08:37] <TooR4u> wailer, then ... how to record rstp protocol ..?
[08:37] <giany911> macogw not sure i had to use linespire to upload my mp3s... only os ... live cd that worked from like 5 distros
[08:37] <BrendanW> Esteth: What is the command again?
[08:37] <BrendanW> Terminal didn't seem to accept it.
[08:37] <tinin> ikonia yes, but wich packages are those, I found a lot of OpenGl related things in synaptic
[08:37] <stefg> TooR4u: all you can do is installing a 32 bit chroot environment...
[08:37] <ikonia> tinin: read
[08:37] <Esteth> BrendanW: "gtk-window-decorator --replace" Keep in mind it'll only work if you're on GNOME, not GTK
[08:38] <macogw> giany911: weird
[08:38] <BrendanW> Nope, still nothing.
[08:38] <BrendanW> :/
[08:38] <Random832> Esteth: what's that do?
[08:38] <TooR4u> stefg, okey .. u know how to record "RSTP" protocol?
[08:38] <BrendanW> I don't even know the difference between GNOME and GTK :/ Haha.
[08:38] <wailer> TooR4u: synaptic has plugin for kplayer ?
[08:39] <Esteth> Random832: It should give you a window decorator back
[08:39] <TooR4u> wailer, yahh .. i think it may not work properly ...
[08:39] <stefg> TooR4u: look into vlc, maybe it can do it
[08:39] <TooR4u> stefg, okey .. 1m
[08:39] <tinin> ikonia what should I read??
[08:40] <ikonia> tinin: the package notes
[08:40] <BrendanW> Ugg. This is totally stressing me out. :/
[08:40] <tinin> I've done
[08:40] <wailer> TooR4u: don't be scared... cost nothing to try :)
[08:40] <BrendanW> Should have never messed with Emerald.
[08:40] <ikonia> tinin: then you know what packages you need
[08:40] <tinin> ikonia: don't be so ugly, I've done it
[08:40] <ikonia> I'm not being ugly
[08:40] <ikonia> the package contents show you whats in the packages
[08:40] <ikonia> if you read through them you'll find the package you want
[08:41] <Blauhaut> How can i change the default .mp3 file icon , i want to it my new icon
[08:41] <Esteth> BrendanW: You should just be able to uninstall emerald and everything should be ok, as far as i know. try #ubuntu-effects for a more specific channel to your problem
[08:41] <TooR4u> wailer, okey .. i am doing that ..
[08:41] <macogw> Blauhaut: right click on an mp3 and go to properties and you can pick an icon. i believe it will associate them all with that icon
[08:41] <soundray> coffeemug: you might be interested in this discussion originating in launchpad: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneTruePath
[08:41] <BrendanW> I used package manager to uninstall it, but its still messed up.
[08:41] <doug1234> how do i transfer my music from ubuntu to xp dual booting
[08:41] <coffeemug> thanks
[08:42] <soundray> doug1234: install ext2fsd in Windows. It will let you read your ext3 filesystems.
[08:43] <doug1234> soundray when i try to ptu it over there it sais i dont have permision
[08:43] <aantn> are there any ppc users here?
[08:44] <soundray> doug1234: can you rephrase your problem pls
[08:44] <Mba7eth> anyone have tryied minicom ..... plz i want to access my router ? i have set the parameters as 9600 8N1 flow control none !!! but i didn't got anything from the router ? how to do it ?
[08:44] <demonstealer> i cannot connect to a wireless connection becuase everytime i attempt to connect i am requested for a keyring password which i have not set myself and which i dont know of. Help!
[08:44] <coffeemug> soundray: do you know if that's implemented yet?
[08:44] <PriceChild> aantn, i think there's a #ubuntu-ppc... but what's your real question?
[08:44] <aantn> nothing
[08:44] <soundray> coffeemug: no, sorry. BTW, try setting your path in $HOME/.gnomerc
[08:44] <aantn> I'm just looking for someone to test something
[08:45] <kekk> demonstealer, isn't that the password that was prompted when you installed ubuntu. the password of the admin account
[08:45] <doug1234> soundray i got music on ubuntu i am trying to get into the xp folder called music from ubuntu it said i do not have permision to do this i did sudo nautilus but cant acces the xp drive from that way
[08:45] <coffeemug> soundray: yeah, I can do it with gnome, but that means I have to set it twice
[08:45] <aantn> I'm a ppc user myself and I'm trying to create a ppc compiz fusion repo
[08:45] <coffeemug> soundray: once for bash, once for gnome
[08:45] <BrendanW> I can't even get ctrl+alt+left/right to work now.
[08:45] <BrendanW> This is a mess.
[08:45] <BrendanW> :/
[08:45] <demonstealer> kekk no that password doesnt work with this problem
[08:46] <soundray> coffeemug: have you tried setting it in /etc/environment, but with a directory name containing a user-dependent variable (e.g. :$HOME/bin:)
[08:46] <coffeemug> soundray: hmm, that could work
[08:47] <kersinc07> #ubuntu-es
[08:47] <needinfo> Problem: Using Sound Juicer locks my system. Ctl-Alt-Backspace/F1 does nothing. Can only reboot in recovery mode. Restart gdm. HAL fails to initialize. Do a normal reboot. System good again until I use Sound Juicer. When using sound juicer. It works fine for one CD then usually locks midway through second one. How do I fix this? Using Feisty. Done dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg many times...
[08:47] <needinfo> ...with no change.
[08:47] <soundray> coffeemug: it depends on where and how /etc/environment is sourced, of course...
[08:48] <caribou_> anyone is using Gdesklets ?
[08:48] <astro76> coffeemug, if you add it to ~/.profile instead of ~/.bashrc, it should work in gnome also
[08:48] <BrendanW> Does anybody have any idea how to reverse the effects of compiz --replace -c emerald &?
[08:48] <godlygeek> BrendanW: just a guess: metacity --replace ?
[08:48] <wailer> demonstealer: with a name like that & you want to know how to access a network that you don't know the password to - c'mon
[08:48] <fr500> BrendanW: metacity --replace
[08:49] <wailer> :)
[08:49] <coffeemug> ok, let me try to log out and back in
[08:49] <coffeemug> thanks
[08:49] <coffeemug> !
[08:49] <BrendanW> godlygeek, fr500: Thank you both very much. That worked perfectly. You guys are all so knowledgeable and helpful!
[08:50] <kane77> is there any app that would measure path the pointer travels? I need that for finding out length from map...
[08:50] <godlygeek> BrendanW: np.  :)
[08:50] <darkus_> hello peeps, i`m new ubuntu ps3 user.. very good first impressions!!
[08:50] <aantn> somethings happened and alt-tab no longer switches windows
[08:50] <godlygeek> ubuntu runs on the ps3?  is that supported?  lol
[08:50] <aantn> where can I change the keyboard shortcut for that
[08:51] <hiffy> say
[08:51] <Ashfire908> what's the commandline text editor?
[08:51] <darkus_> well its running great here!
[08:51] <soundray> kane77: there is one for KDE called kodo. Might work in gnome, too.
[08:51] <hiffy> is there some way to boot into a live cd, without burning it to a cd?
[08:51] <aantn> godlygeek: as supported as my computer (which is a ppc)
[08:51] <scipio> Ashfire908, nano or vi
[08:51] <godlygeek> Ashfire908: nano (if you don't feel like learning anything) (vim or emacs if you do)
[08:51] <kane77> soundray, thanx.. i'll try it
[08:51] <hiffy> Albeit, it's tempting to get the free cds
[08:51] <godlygeek> aantn: cool. :)
[08:51] <Adlai> Ashfire908: if you use nano, call it with -w
[08:51] <kane77> hiffy, some virtual box? like vmware
[08:52] <BrendanW> Oh geez. The second I enable desktop effects and have the four workspaces again, the same problem occurs.
[08:52] <BrendanW> :/
[08:52] <Adlai> if you're editing config files or anything similar
[08:52] <darkus_> anyone know any IRCnet servers?
[08:52] <hiffy> kane77, well, I wanted to boot this machine I'm running into it
[08:52] <aantn> godlygeek: and we (the ppc community) are very much alive :D
[08:52] <hiffy> 'cos I want to reinstall, but without burning a new cd
[08:52] <hiffy> eh, whatevs. I'll figure something out
[08:52] <wailer> IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRCResourcePage |

[08:53] <lockd> is there a way I can force X to display at max resolution?
[08:53] <xor> #ubuntubrasil-orkut
[08:53] <Blauhaut> macogw; it is not working it just chance the one icon not all of them
[08:53] <Calin_> anyone have an idea why with my own bind9 server running, I can resolve my local addresses fine with both nslookup, and dig.. (like www.provident.local, ftp.bowser.local) and i can connect if i use just the prefix part (ping www, ping ftp which resolves to full name bowser.provident.local) .. but i can't ping www.provident.local  (says unable to resolve)
[08:54] <wailer> lockd: its a driver issue
[08:54] <Skrypt> How do I change the name of removable media? (ie. My ipod)
[08:54] <lockd> wailer: what can I do?
[08:54] <aantn> godlygeek: works fine on mine
[08:54] <hiffy> heh
[08:54] <hiffy> I got rid of my floppy drive some time ago
[08:54] <aantn> godlygeek: I'm even running compiz fusion
[08:54] <hiffy> thanks soundray.
[08:54] <aantn> and it runs fine
[08:54] <lockd> wailer: rebuild the driver? I could care less about coding in assembler
[08:54] <macogw> Blauhaut: oh umm ok idk then, sorry. i mean, i know it can be done, but i dont know where exactly the icons live
[08:55] <wailer> lockd: what is the video card?
[08:55] <godlygeek> aantn: cool.  :)
[08:55] <aantn> yup
[08:55] <lockd> wailer: nvidia geforce 7 series
[08:55] <Blauhaut> How can i change the default .mp3 file icon , i want to it my new icon
[08:56] <Skrypt> How do I change the name of removable media? (ie. My ipod)
[08:56] <BrendanW> Does anybody have any idea as to why when I enable desktop effects and four workspace the top bar of my windows disapear?
[08:56] <wailer> lockd: enable all repositories then load latest drivers
[08:56] <lockd> wailer: which repositories? in /etc/apt/sources.list, just the commented out ones?
[08:57] <BrendanW> I miss my 4 workspaces.
[08:57] <lockd> wailer: the backports? ?
[08:57] <wailer> lockd: synaptic package manager - settings - repositories
[08:58] <RndmHero> ok, im new to nix and ubuntu, when i download something say like bitchx and its in the tgz how do i install it, im used to windows where u can just click setup and go, trying to learn nix
[08:58] <wailer> all
[08:58] <hiffy> Hm. Okay, a better question. What do I do if Ubuntu/the kernel isn't seeing my cd drive?
[08:58] <lockd> wailer: well I prefer not to keep running things in X, i'm closing it a lot
[08:58] <lockd> wailer: is enabling the backports enough?
[08:58] <godlygeek> BrendanW: that probably means that emerald is crashing... though i don't know why it would.
[08:59] <BrendanW> I don't even have it installed anymore.
[08:59] <BrendanW> How would I disable it.
[08:59] <RndmHero> i just needa know the command to unzip these archives and where to put the stuff so i can do the install
[08:59] <godlygeek> BrendanW: uh.. then the gtk-window-decorator...
[08:59] <astro76> RndmHero, always check if it's available through Ubuntu's package repos first, bitchx is, you can install it with synaptic
[08:59] <Novagenesis> question: if rmmod --force fails due to a false "resource busy" is rebooting the only solutoin?
[08:59] <lockd> wailer: i.e. that is the only thing disabled
[08:59] <godlygeek> BrendanW: or whatever.  I'm not a big compiz person.
[08:59] <astro76> !synaptic | RndmHero
[08:59] <ubotu> RndmHero: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[08:59] <wailer> lockd: backports enable old stuff to use new stuf ( simply )
[08:59] <RndmHero> ahh, ok, thanks :)
[08:59] <BrendanW> godlygeek: One last time, what is the command?
[08:59] <lockd> wailer: is that what I need?
[09:00] <BrendanW> gtk-window-decorator __________
[09:00] <fr500> BrendanW: werid i have 4 viewports instead of workspaces with compiz
[09:00] <lockd> wailer: you didn't give me -which- repos to enable, that is the only thing I have disabled
[09:00] <godlygeek> BrendanW: do 'metacity --replace' to fix things
[09:00] <godlygeek> BrendanW: then open up a terminal, and type 'compiz --replace' there.
[09:00] <godlygeek> godlygeek: Hopefully you'll get some useful input dumped to the terminal to tell you what went wrong.
[09:00] <tunedout> I completely forgot how to start a file with the extionsion .sh
[09:00] <wailer> lockd: 7 series should be using the newest drivers
[09:01] <fr500> BrendanW: and byt default compiz has 2 viewports, at least on compiz fusion from compiz
[09:01] <tunedout> Can someone refresh my memory
[09:01] <Flannel> tunedout: sh [script] 
[09:01] <Calin_> tunedout chmod +x it then it'll run.
[09:01] <RndmHero> another question, how would i install something that is not in the repositories ?
[09:01] <fr500> RndmHero: you can either find 3rd party repos
[09:01] <tunedout> Thanks ! thats what I thought Sh.
[09:01] <godlygeek> BrendanW: Er... the thing i sent to me was supposed to go to you  hopefully something useful will show up in the terminal.
[09:01] <Nap_> hi
[09:01] <lockd> wailer: oh, you mean the NEW drivers, that is another package entirely
[09:01] <fr500> RndmHero: compile yourself
[09:01] <Cuzz> Hi, i have a 250GB HDD slave with two partitions. One partition has NTFS and the other has ubuntu installed. I cannot see the ubuntu partition in windows. Is it possible to completely format the whole HDD from windows? Thanks
[09:01] <BrendanW> fr500:  When I enabled desktop effects it would give me 4 workstations.
[09:01] <wailer> lockd:patcience - enable all then search - nvidia
[09:02] <RndmHero> dont know how to compile myself, still new to this stuff
[09:02] <fr500> RndmHero: of get some debs for instance from www.getdeb.net
[09:02] <tunedout> run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute
[09:02] <godlygeek> Cuzz: you can completely format it, yes.
[09:02] <UBUNTU01> http://antigop-k4.narod.ru
[09:02] <RndmHero> starting with ubuntu because everyone said its the easiest to use
[09:02] <RndmHero> so far they have been right
[09:02] <godlygeek> Cuzz: windows might not be able to READ the drive, but it can certainly ERASE it.  :)
[09:02] <Cuzz> Thank you. How, i can only see the NTFS partition and have formatted that
[09:02] <fr500> RndmHero: yes but if you want bleeding edge software somtimes you need to compile
[09:02] <Nap_> When I start my PC with ethernet cable unplugged, I never get the network back when I plug the cable (and the ethernet LED of the PC stays off). Why ?
[09:02] <soundray> RndmHero: what do you want to install?
[09:02] <tunedout> I think I know what I'm doing wrong. In Ubuntu there is no SU right ?
[09:03] <lockd> wailer: no, not patience, just had to wait to install synaptic
[09:03] <godlygeek> Cuzz: I dunno, I haven't used windows in years..
[09:03] <fr500> RndmHero: most of the time default repos + seveas and cafuegos have done it for me
[09:03] <soundray> !sudo | tunedout
[09:03] <ubotu> tunedout: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:03] <Cuzz> I want to make the whole 259GB into 1 partition again, like an out of box HDD :)
[09:03] <wailer> :)
[09:03] <tunedout> Thanks again !
[09:03] <godlygeek> Cuzz: but i'm sure it's possible.  you just need to lookup how to repartition a drive, rather than reformat a partition.
[09:03] <fr500> RndmHero: and on many many cases compiling is not that hard once you get the hang of it
[09:03] <RndmHero> im just saying in general, nothing right now, was just trying find out how to do it in the future since bitchx is already on here
[09:03] <jamesstansell> can anyone explain how to get openoffice calc (feisty) to print?
[09:03] <Cuzz> k thanks
[09:03] <Calin_> Cuzz: gnome partition manager can do it
[09:03] <wailer> lockd: my dog was eating my neighbour
[09:03] <RndmHero> any link i can read on learning how to compile myself?
[09:03] <soundray> Cuzz: it's best to boot an Ubuntu Desktop CD and use gparted to delete the ext3 partition and resize the NTFS one.
[09:03] <godlygeek> Cuzz: yeh, i'd just do it in linux.
[09:04] <astro76> !compile | RndmHero
[09:04] <ubotu> RndmHero: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[09:04] <RndmHero> i dont care if i mess anything up, i put this drive in here to learn on
[09:04] <fr500> RndmHero: getdeb has many upto date packeges, and as for compiling yourself, it's mostly program dependant
[09:04] <tunedout> jeez it keeps sauomg cannot execute. any ideas ?
[09:04] <tunedout> saying *
[09:04] <Calin_> tunedout: chmod +x it to make it executable
[09:04] <RndmHero> k
[09:04] <tunedout> Calin_ I will try that. Sorry for not trying before :)
[09:04] <soundray> RndmHero: most compile advice is specific to the software in question.
[09:05] <jamesstansell> I have a spreadsheet in openoffice 2.2 that I want to print but I'm geting blank pages
[09:05] <ckin2001> print preview show anything?
[09:05] <RndmHero> i just wanna learn this so i can finally destroy every trace of windows ever in my house
[09:05] <tunedout> Says the same thing. Whats the Chmod command do ?
[09:06] <jamesstansell> ckin2001: page preview show the same blankness
[09:06] <soundray> RndmHero: most source packages that you download contain an INSTALL file that tells you how to compile.
[09:06] <lockd> wailer: thanks, I'm going to attempt starting new drivers
[09:06] <RndmHero> ahh, sweet
[09:06] <RndmHero> didnt know that
[09:06] <Calin_> chmod changes permissions on the file.. +x changed the executable flag on it.
[09:06] <wailer> lockd: lol
[09:07] <soundray> RndmHero: but for most purposes, you will find software in the official or inofficial repositories.
[09:07] <ckin2001> @james - can you try highlighting the portion you want printed and then previewing?
[09:07] <EvaLuaTe> what is ubuntu Dapper Drake ? are all 6.06 versions named Dapper Drake or is there a special release with that name ?
[09:07] <jamesstansell> ckin2001: that was what we tried first
[09:08] <RndmHero> ok now heres a noob question, how do i log into root seeing as you cant login to root through the login screen
[09:08] <ckin2001> eek, ok
[09:08] <Adlai> RndmHero: sudo su
[09:08] <erUSUL> !root | RndmHero
[09:08] <ubotu> RndmHero: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[09:08] <Adlai> RndmHero: sudo -s
[09:08] <nox-Hand> Anyone know of a simple media app that can be easily full screen controlled and looks a bit like frontrow in the way it works (bluetooth java phone control?)
[09:08] <RndmHero> terminal and sudo su ?
[09:08] <Calin_> RndmHero sudo -s or sudo bash.
[09:08] <godlygeek> erUSUL: all 6.06 are DD
[09:08] <jamesstansell> I'm on another machine now and seeing more what I expected - maybe something wrong with that user's account?
[09:08] <erUSUL> Adlai: the correct form is 'sudo -i'
[09:08] <SeveredCross> I would suggest to use sudo -s or sudo -i and not sudo bash or sudo su
[09:08] <Adlai> erUSUL: the correct form is whatever works
[09:08] <godlygeek> EvaLuaTe: I meant that for you.  all 6.06 are DD.
[09:09] <RndmHero> k
[09:09] <soundray> Adlai, Calin_: please don't recommend sudo bash or sudo su. It mixes up the environment.
[09:09] <erUSUL> !worksforme | Adlai
[09:09] <ubotu> Adlai: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/
[09:09] <EvaLuaTe> godlygeek, even the server edition ?
[09:09] <alecwh> How do I delete a file in the terminal?
[09:09] <godlygeek> EvaLuaTe: yes
[09:09] <EvaLuaTe> nice, thanks alot :)
[09:09] <godlygeek> alecwh: rm filename
[09:09] <PriceChild> alecwh, rm <file>
[09:09] <alecwh> thank you.
[09:09] <soundray> alecwh: also, have a look at the ubotu link:
[09:09] <soundray> !cli | alecwh
[09:09] <ubotu> alecwh: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[09:09] <PriceChild> alecwh, you'll find that a lot of commands are the first and 3rd letter of a word... CoPy, LiSt, MoVe, ReMove etc. etc.
[09:10] <alecwh> Ok, awesome. :)
[09:10] <jamesstansell> ckin2001: I'm getting a remote connection back to the machine that had the printing problem
[09:10] <Flannel> RndmHero: Ubuntu doesn't use the root login, uses sudo instead.
[09:10] <wailer> tips for command line www.linuxdevcenter.com/linux/cmd/
[09:10] <PriceChild> alecwh, if you're even unsure of how to then use that command, prefix it with "man", for example "man rm", to see what you can do with it besides the obvious... or which way round to put destination/target etc.
[09:11] <alecwh> cool
[09:11] <alecwh> PriceChild, how do I exit the man?
[09:11] <Adlai> erUSUL: if you want to say that something is "the correct form", you should specify why
[09:11] <PriceChild> alecwh, q
[09:11] <RndmHero> ok, is compiling basically using the same commands used when compiling and eggdrop ? because i know how to do that
[09:11] <alecwh> thansk.
[09:12] <Adlai> soundray provided a good example of that
[09:12] <PriceChild> alecwh, you could probably have found that from "man man" ;)
[09:12] <Calin_> guess never had the problem of no root login, since right after ubuntu was installed i switched to ldap domain logins, and for windows to connect.. required root heh.
[09:12] <godlygeek> RndmHero: what on earth is eggdrop?  :)
[09:12] <PriceChild> alecwh, but i'll let you off :P
[09:12] <RndmHero> irc bots
[09:12] <godlygeek> RndmHero: compiling without a package is usually "./configure && make && sudo make install"
[09:12] <jamesstansell> ckin2001: another account on the first machine does the same thing with the file in question
[09:12] <PriceChild> RndmHero, read the "README" file, or "INSTALL"
[09:12] <needinfo> Anyone care to tackle my Sound Juicer lock-up problem?
[09:12] <chris2710> alecwh: you can also try info <command> or <command> --help oder -h. Btw. konqueror can show info:<command> or man:<command> formatted as html
[09:13] <jeska> Do you know how I can get linuxthread support in Fiesty with glibc 2.5. :<
[09:13] <soulrider> !printing
[09:13] <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
[09:13] <jamesstansell> it's an ods file created with OOo calc 2.2
[09:13] <alecwh> Ok, got it, thanks. :D
[09:13] <Blauhaut> How can i change the default .mp3 file icon , i want to it my new icon
[09:13] <serdar> hi
[09:14] <erUSUL> Adlai: others have said so if you use sudo su the shell reads the init scripts of the user and that is a security risk (you may have a harmless as user command there but not so harmless if done as root) the same probelm happens with sudo -s so i allways recommend 'sudo -i'
[09:14] <BrendanW>  This is what my screen looks like.
[09:14] <BrendanW>  http://www.brendanwelsh.net/ubuntu/Screenshot.png
[09:14] <BrendanW>  I installed emerald, and this is what happened.
[09:14] <BrendanW>  It's fine when I use no desktop affects and no cubed viewports.
[09:15] <twager> I have just set up compiz..Anyone tell me how I kill compiz and get back to the normal desktop ?
[09:15] <alecwh> I've got an older brother in the marine corps, and we sent him a laptop with ubuntu on it. Before I sent it, I installed something for his ipod, and I think I may have messed it up. I sent it to him without rebooting and testing, so he's got a computer that won't boot up into gnome. I REMEMBER installing something like "gnome-common" for a package, and I'm new to ubuntu. Is there a simple way to resolve this? He doesn't have the internet...
[09:15] <godlygeek> BrendanW: did 'compiz --replace' from a terminal show any output?
[09:15] <Cuzz> Can i format an ubuntu partition from windows without linux? The linux partition is corrupt.
[09:15] <ckin2001> @james - im at a loss right now
[09:15] <ckin2001> can you scp it and print from your local machine with it? or did you try that already
[09:15] <rexy> how can i remove the minimum rpm setting for fans in lm-sensors, if the fans spin slower then that number lm-sensors just reports 0
[09:16] <BrendanW> godlygeek: My screen flashed, nothing changed. No output in the terminal window.
[09:16] <godlygeek> alecwh: select to boot into single mode, log in, and do 'apt-get remove IPODPACKAGE'
[09:16] <Adlai> erUSUL: interesting, thanks
[09:16] <BrendanW> Can somebody help me, using remote desktop?
[09:16] <erUSUL> Adlai: no problem
[09:16] <godlygeek> BrendanW: hm.  odd.  compiz always puts something in the terminal for me.  no clue then.
[09:16] <jamesstansell> alecwh: did you send the ubuntu CD with the laptop?
[09:16] <alecwh> godlygeek, well, after I "attempted" to install it by doing all that stuff, I just used synaptic.
[09:16] <jamesstansell> ckin2001: looks like defining a print range is helping
[09:16] <godlygeek> alecwh: synaptic and apt-get are just two interfaces to dpkg.
[09:16] <mattg> good afternoon, everybody
[09:16] <BrendanW> Oh, yes it did.
[09:17] <BrendanW>  This is what my screen looks like.
[09:17] <BrendanW>  http://www.brendanwelsh.net/ubuntu/Screenshot.png
[09:17] <BrendanW>  I installed emerald, and this is what happened.
[09:17] <BrendanW>  It's fine when I use no desktop affects and no cubed viewports.
[09:17] <godlygeek> alecwh: a package installed by one can be removed by the other.
[09:17] <BrendanW> Bleh
[09:17] <alecwh> jamesstansell: No, he's clueless. I had to make icons on his desktop for "INTERNET" and "EMAIL"
[09:17] <BrendanW> Didn't copy.
[09:17] <musya> anybody know a good xvid player
[09:17] <musya> ?
[09:17] <stefg> !effects | BrendanW
[09:17] <ubotu> BrendanW: For help or discussion on Beryl or Compiz desktop effects, please go to #ubuntu-effects
[09:17] <alecwh> godlygeek: He really needs the ipod package though. I THINK it may just be a messed up Ghome
[09:17] <alecwh> gnome*
[09:17] <nikolaj> vlc player
[09:17] <godlygeek> alecwh: gnome, or gdm?
[09:17] <BrendanW> stefg: I'm in effects. :/ Haven't gotten much help.
[09:17] <mattg> !vmware
[09:17] <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
[09:17] <godlygeek> alecwh: does he even get a login prompt?
[09:17] <fyrestrtr> alecwh: I'm sure one of his army buddies knows some linux? The US Army is one of the heavier users of linux.
[09:18] <Pelo> anyone know how I could dl the other repos and put them on cd for someone without an internet connection ?
[09:18] <jamesstansell> Pelo: look up aptoncd
[09:18] <alecwh> godlygeek: This is how he described it: "I turned it on, and I got the ubuntu loading screen, then the screen went black, and all he could see was the spinning circle in the middle (the loading symbol)
[09:18] <kondeDrakul1> anyone know if can connect 2 pc's with cable usb ?
[09:18] <Pelo> jamesstansell,  in the synaptic or on the site ?
[09:18] <musya> i couldnt find vlc in the repos.
[09:18] <stefg> BrendanW: this doesn't entitle you to just go offtopic in here. Beryl/Compiz is alpha and causes trouble, and there's a separate channel for a reason
[09:18] <musya> vlcplayer
[09:18] <musya> sorry
[09:19] <BrendanW> stefg: Sorry, I won't ask about it here again.
[09:19] <godlygeek> alecwh: is it set up for automatic login?
[09:19] <jamesstansell> Pelo: the homepage is http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/
[09:19] <alecwh> godlygeek: no
[09:19] <fsckr> wants the file of gstreamer do I need to download to play mp3s?
[09:19] <Pelo> jamesstansell, thanks
[09:19] <godlygeek> alecwh: then GDM, not Gnome, is broken.
[09:19] <Lichnet> I was listening to music using XMMS, my mouse is broken and sometimes makes things i dont want. I dont know how but suddenly the music sound stopped and it does not work! No sound! Whats happening}? What can I do?? (I HAD to use windows and the sound works normal there)
[09:19] <wailer> linux doesn't like USB network
[09:19] <alecwh> GDM... ok.
[09:19] <godlygeek> alecwh: GDM is Gnome Display Manager, it's the thing that gives you the login boxes.
[09:19] <alecwh> godlygeek: What command can he use to fix that without using the IPOD app?
[09:19] <alecwh> ok.
[09:20] <alecwh> !ipod > alecwh
[09:20] <jamesstansell> Pelo: I'm sure there have been some posts about aptoncd on planet.ubuntu.com, too, if you care to look there
[09:20] <godlygeek> alecwh: nice try.  lol.
[09:20] <Pelo> jamesstansell, thanks I will
[09:20] <jamesstansell> there might also be some other options, but that's the first that came to mind
[09:21] <Ultrabucket> Hmm, I have a broadcom card for wireless, and I'm pretty sure it's not working seeing as I can't get it to activate. So how do I activate it, also, there are no wireless networks around here, so I can really test it with that
[09:21] <Ultrabucket> What should I do to get it working?
[09:21] <Pelo> jamesstansell, yeah, cheking it out right now,  might not be quite what I had in mind but it migth do in a crunch
[09:21] <alecwh> godlygeek: How can I fix it? :P
[09:21] <Lichnet> I was listening to music using XMMS, my mouse is broken and sometimes makes things i dont want. I dont know how but suddenly the music sound stopped and it does not work! No sound! Whats happening}? What can I do?? (I HAD to use windows and the sound works normal there)
[09:21] <godlygeek> alecwh: I would just do 'sudo apt-get remove NAME_OF_IPOD_PACKAGE; sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[09:21] <Pelo> jamesstansell,  I was thinking more along the lines of that full 6 cd set but downloadable

[09:22] <lgc> Hi! My Feisty is unable to mount my Windows partition. It won't take the UUID format for it. Any clues?
[09:22] <alecwh> ok.
[09:22] <alecwh> it was banshee, btw

[09:22] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[09:22] <grout> whats the latest compiz beryl thing?  Its still called compiz fusion right?
[09:22] <godlygeek> alecwh: that would remove the broken package and try reconfiguring X.

[09:23] <alecwh> godlygeek: thanks, I'll give it a shot.
[09:23] <Ultrabucket> Hmm, I have a broadcom card for wireless, and I'm pretty sure it's not working seeing as I can't get it to activate. So how do I activate it, also, there are no wireless networks around here, so I can really test it with that... How do I get it to work?

[09:24] <Ultrabucket> thanks
[09:24] <tunedout> Sorry for all the questions but how do I update the list of software in the Add/Remve applications tool.
[09:25] <BrendanW> I'm just going to do a "fresh install" of Ubuntu.
[09:25] <rexy> how can i remove the minimum rpm setting for fans in lm-sensors, if the fans spin slower then that number lm-sensors just reports 0 cant seem to locate the setting
[09:25] <fsckr> chris2710, actually an easier way to do it on fiesty :)
[09:25] <BrendanW> Would I have to clear the partititon or can I throw the LiveCD back in and just reinstall it?
[09:25] <wailer> tunedout: try synaptic instead
[09:25] <mattg> i can't get either vmware or virtualbox installed...anybody know of a good virtualpc program?
[09:26] <GliderMike> vmware should be pretty easy to install, what's the issue?
[09:26] <Flannel> lgc: I am
[09:26] <tunedout> whats synaptic
[09:26] <Pelo> later
[09:26] <wailer> !synaptic
[09:26] <lgc> Flannel, hi. My Feisty is unable to mount my Windows partition. It won't take the UUID format for it. Any clues?
[09:26] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[09:26] <mattg> i dont believe it's getting the packages, GliderMike
[09:26] <dr_Willis> I perfer vmware to vutrialbox, depends on what you are doing however.
[09:26] <Flannel> lgc: does it take the /dev/ format?
[09:26] <Random832> is it normal for the master volume not to affect the headphones?
[09:26] <BrendanW> !reformat
[09:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about reformat - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:26] <GliderMike> @mattg: what happens when you try 'sudo apt-get install vmware-server' ?
[09:27] <wailer> !fsck
[09:27] <ubotu> 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
[09:27] <mattg> glidermike: couldn't
[09:27] <mattg> ooops
[09:27] <dr_Willis> Im not sure that vmware server is in the normal repos? or is it now?
[09:27] <lgc> Flannel, even the old format contains /dev, as in "/dev/sda1", isn't that right?
[09:27] <dr_Willis> !info vmware-server
[09:27] <ubotu> Package vmware-server does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[09:27] <Calix> im having a problem with firefox, i had removed it from my system with synaptic but when trying to reinstall it with apt-get i get an error - dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `postdrop' in statoverride file E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[09:27] <GliderMike> yep its in the repos
[09:27] <wailer> ubotu is wise
[09:27] <mattg> glidermike: couldn't find package vmware-server
[09:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is wise - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:28] <stefg> !vmware
[09:28] <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
[09:28] <dr_Willis> GliderMike,  ive seen it in the 'mint linux' repos. but not the normal feisty ones.
[09:28] <godlygeek> mattg: enable to alternate repos
[09:28] <GliderMike> hmmmm, maybe in univser or commercial reps?  I'll look
[09:28] <Calix> any ideas?
[09:28] <godlygeek> mattg: universe or multi
[09:28] <radioaktivstorm> question... is there a way to put the close button etc on the left side in metacity? ive discovered that i like it that way
[09:28] <dr_Willis> vmware-PLAYER is  in them.  :)
[09:28] <mattg> how, godlygeek
[09:28] <wailer> !vmware
[09:28] <godlygeek> mattg: synaptic has an option for it. somewhere.
[09:28] <Ultrabucket> Okay, so my card isn't supported, how do I get it to work :D?
[09:28] <scipio> radioaktivstorm, right click on the button to remove it and then right click on the panel bar to add it again where you want
[09:29] <BrendanW> Is there a simple way to "start fresh" with Ubuntu?
[09:29] <BrendanW> Just whipe all my files, etc?
[09:29] <Slart> BrendanW: reinstall?
[09:29] <dr_Willis> BrendanW,  depends on what you want to clean.
[09:29] <GliderMike> it is in multiverse
[09:29] <Ultrabucket> Ndiswrapper :D?
[09:29] <scipio> radioaktivstorm, nvm i understood you wrong
[09:29] <soulrider> i know i probably shouldnt as this here
[09:29] <dr_Willis> BrendanW,  remove the users config files/home dir stuff and log back in.
[09:29] <GliderMike> Mattg: go to settings --> repositories
[09:30] <psweetma> hi, i know there's a command which will tell me what process is using /dev/dsp but i can't remember what it is.  can anyone reming me?  thanks
[09:30] <soulrider> but does anyoine know how i have to configure windows so i can see ht eprinter from linux?
[09:30] <Omega_> Is there any good gui for mencoder that I can get with apt-get install for feisty?
[09:30] <BrendanW> Would that make a fresh install of everything?
[09:30] <erUSUL> !cups | soulrider
[09:30] <ubotu> soulrider: 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
[09:30] <BrendanW> I just want to start over as if it we're just installed.
[09:30] <Slart> psweetma: probably lsof.. check the man-page
[09:30] <dr_Willis> soulrider,  'share' the printer under windows. for a start
[09:30] <psweetma> Slart, that's the one.  thanks
[09:30] <soulrider> dr_Willis, tried that, but it still asks for a password
[09:30] <soulrider> i hate windows so much...
[09:31] <dr_Willis> soulrider,  i always make my linux users have the same username/password as the Windows users.
[09:31] <GliderMike> amen to that Soulrider.  Amen.
[09:31] <wailer> radioaktivstorm: right clicking on the panel lets you add many options - right click an icon in panel & you can move it
[09:31] <mattg> there isn't anything that's just "vmware-server", glidermike
[09:31] <Slart> psweetma: you're welcome
[09:31] <lgc> Flannel, did I get your question wrong or what?
[09:31] <soulrider> dr_Willis, its my dads computer, not mine
[09:31] <Calix> anyone have any ideas why firefox wont install with apt-get?
[09:31] <BrendanW> Slart: How would I go about reinstalling Ubuntu?
[09:31] <Flannel> lgc: Right.  /dev/sda1, does that work?
[09:31] <GliderMike> make sure the multiverse repo is setup, then be sure and hit reload.  you should then have "vmware-server"
[09:31] <jamesstansell> Calix: does apt-get say anything?
[09:31] <lgc> Flannel, yes.
[09:31] <Slart> BrendanW: the same way you installed it.. put the cd in and reboot
[09:32] <BrendanW> Alright, thanks.
[09:32] <dr_Willis> i always share the printers on the linux box. If you dont have full access to the windows box. it may not allow remote printing then. or make a new user on the windows box with the same name/pass as the linux user.
[09:32] <hiffy> So, Ubuntu isn't seeing my cdrom drive. I know it works, because I just tried an old live cd I had lying around and it booted fine. Any ideas as to where I can start looking through?
[09:32] <Calix> yeah james dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `postdrop' in statoverride file
[09:32] <Calix> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[09:32] <radioaktivstorm> wailer: i suppose i should clarify myself, i was actually referring to the window border. sorry about the confusion
[09:32] <Slart> BrendanW: just make sure you don't want any of the files on the computer
[09:32] <dr_Willis> soulrider,  theres that 'using samba' book thats avail in the repos and online. that walk ya through the windows part i BELIVE.. not sure about the printers part.
[09:32] <jamesstansell> Calix: sounds like a postfix installation issue
[09:32] <dr_Willis> hiffy,  mount it manually, see if dmesg sees it.. hmm..
[09:32] <Flannel> lgc: just use that then.  ARe you sure the UUID is corrct on your windows partition?
[09:33] <stefg> hiffy: see 'dmesg' for a start
[09:33] <soulrider> dr_Willis, i tried doing the share thing, the thing is that another windows machine is having issues too i think
[09:33] <Calix> james how can i go about fixing that?
[09:33] <hiffy> dr_Willis, the Device Manager isn't listing it
[09:33] <soulrider> any irc channels i could ask? more windows related
[09:33] <lgc> Flannel, when I installed ntfs-3g I suspect that, *somehow*, it did away with all the info on my Windows partition (not that I care much about it, but it shouldn't happen).
[09:33] <mattg> all i see is vmware-server-kernel-source
[09:33] <wailer> k
[09:33] <jamesstansell> Calix: sorry I'm not familiar with that - I'd have to search
[09:33] <Flannel> lgc: erm, you can mount it with /dev/sda1 right?
[09:33] <larson999> did i miss the earth shattering answer to my question about xdmcp while i was disconnected?
[09:33] <Some_ux> I keep getting: failed to allocate mem resource, when i boot. even when install from boot disk. I get this error both with the 32 and 64 versions of ubuntu. I'm not sure if it is kernel related or some sort of driver issue
[09:33] <lgc> Flannel, how can I know? It says that the UUID=erweerge334rwqerwer.... device does not exist.
[09:33] <troythetechguy> I'm running Ubuntu 6.10 and have Kino 0.9.0 installed.  How can I upgrade to the newest version of Kino using synaptic?
[09:34] <dr_Willis> hiffy,   this is a normal ide cdrom drive?
[09:34] <PMantis> I just lost a bunch of pictures on a digital camera - vfat. How can I undelete?
[09:34] <PriceChild> troythetechguy, ubuntu is frozen after release
[09:34] <radioaktivstorm> ooop found it  :D thanks for trying thouh ^_^
[09:34] <wailer> radioaktivstorm: I don't have a window border ??
[09:34] <faileas> PMantis: photorec maybe?
[09:34] <PriceChild> troythetechguy, only critical security fixes and bug fixes get updated
[09:34] <dr_Willis>  UUID=erweerge334rwqerwer  is NOT a valid uuid i think
[09:34] <Flannel> lgc: remove the UUID line, use /dev/sda1
[09:34] <PriceChild> troythetechguy, any particular reason why you want the latest version?
[09:34] <erUSUL> !info testdisk | PMantis
[09:34] <Flannel> lgc: OR, you can use blkid to get the UUIDs
[09:34] <ubotu> pmantis: testdisk: Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.5-1build1 (feisty), package size 550 kB, installed size 1784 kB

[09:36] <PriceChild> s/camera/camcorder/
[09:36] <lgc> Flannel, damn! The bug persisted from Edgy to Feisty! When I do 'blkid' I end up with a garbled terminal! I remember you told me Edgy was quite buggy, but I certainly hoped this bug would go away with the upgrade.
[09:36] <wailer> !panel
[09:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about panel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:36] <hiffy> dr_Willis, It's as if my system used to be able to see it, but not anymore. I suspect it has something to do with a kernel upgrade, but I just booted in to the earliest one available on my grub menu
[09:36] <jamesstansell> Calix: installation and upgrades forum at http://ubuntuforums.org/ would also be a good start
[09:36] <mani77> !sound
[09:36] <PriceChild> troythetechguy, because you never know there might be a fix out there.
[09:36] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[09:36] <dr_Willis> hiffy,  interesting.   it may be /dev/scd0
[09:37] <troythetechguy> PriceChild, No, where would I do that, on canon's site?
[09:37] <soulrider> i think i got it working, the terrible part is that i have to log in as my dad there, apparently windows is so crappy it cant even sahre a printer correctly
[09:37] <Calix> james if i could open up a website i'd be there :)
[09:37] <hiffy> dr_Willis, No scd0 listed.
[09:37] <hiffy> dr_Willis, I don't think the kernel is seeing it. Lemme peruse the dmesg a bit better.
[09:37] <Flannel> lgc: well, I have no idea why that's garbled.  But you can always just use the old /dev/sda1 instead of UUIDs to mount your partitions
[09:37] <dr_Willis> hiffy,  interesting - could ttry a 'dmesg | grep cdrom' or dmesg | less , and look to see if its seeh anywhere.
[09:37] <dr_Willis> hiffy,  yea. sounds odd..
[09:37] <PriceChild> troythetechguy, nope... launchpad.net is the ubuntu bug tracker amongst other things... you could search at bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/kino
[09:37] <stefg> soulrider: you need an account on the windows box.
[09:38] <lgc> Flannel, will that be also palatable to ntfs-3g?
[09:38] <PriceChild> troythetechguy, and quick googles for the model of the camcorder and kino might turn something up
[09:38] <PriceChild> troythetechguy, you don't want to bother with upgrading kino if its not gonna fix the issue
[09:38] <troythetechguy> PriceChild, Thanks for your help!

[09:39] <Flannel> phoenixz: Pidgin is in gutsy.  It won't be in feisty.
[09:39] <PriceChild> phoenixz, it will be in gutsy in 7.10
[09:39] <Flannel> lgc: yep.
[09:39] <dr_Willis> phoenixz,  proberly it will be in the next release. it MIGHT appear in backports.. but dont bet on it.
[09:39] <chris2710> phoenixz: you can compile from source
[09:39] <Ultrabucket> Um, helpl pl0xerz, I see that I will need a broa dcom driver of somesort... using ndwiswrapper to help. I have WirelessAssistant... How do I go about getting WirelessTools?

[09:39] <PriceChild> phoenixz, only critical security fixes and bug fixes get updated

[09:46] <soulrider> that works stefg :P PriceChild
[09:46] <doug_> anyone know the codec to be able to play .wma formated music? in amarak and rythombox?
[09:47] <PMantis> erUSUL: What option in testdisk do you recommend?
[09:47] <kitche> doug_, need w32codecs installed if it's DRM'd .wma your kinda screwed with playing them from what I understand
[09:47] <stefg> !w32codec | doug_
[09:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about w32codec - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:47] <stefg> !win32codec | doug_
[09:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about win32codec - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:47] <stefg> !w32codecs | doug_
[09:47] <dr_Willis> !w32codecs
[09:47] <ubotu> doug_: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[09:47] <dr_Willis> :(
[09:47] <stefg> ts, ts

[09:47] <doug_> thanks stefg and kitche
[09:48] <earthmeLon> doug_ http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[09:48] <soulrider> is there a way of adding a nice CUPS logo to the pages printed? i remember seeing it somehwre and it was quite cute :P
[09:48] <Some_ux> Are the two issues even related ? (the failed to allocate mem resource and the lack of desktop effects )?
[09:48] <stefg> Some_ux: i guess not
[09:48] <dr_Willis> soulrider,  how about a nice overlay/watermark of "Top Secret" :)
[09:48] <Monkeycracks> Can anyone help me out with installing Radeon 9250 drivers on Ubuntu?
[09:48] <stefg> !ati
[09:48] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:48] <soulrider> dr_Willis, im gonna add thatw hen i print code :P
[09:49] <Monkeycracks> stefg, I followed that...
[09:49] <Adnan__> hi again!!
[09:49] <opensores> Thanks PriceChild
[09:49] <PriceChild> opensores, np
[09:50] <Adnan__> i havee installed WINE deb but i dont know how to start it
[09:50] <stefg> Adnan__: #winehq
[09:50] <PriceChild> !wine > Adnan__ (see the pm from ubotu)
[09:50] <Adnan__> thankyou
[09:51] <Adnan__> but i mean i installed it but i dont know under which category got installed
[09:51] <Adnan__> how can we know the detailed about installed package
[09:51] <Adnan__> i have DEBIAN menu installed
[09:51] <PriceChild> Adnan__, it is not a graphical application
[09:51] <PriceChild> Adnan__, read the pm from ubotu
[09:51] <Adnan__> ok
[09:52] <Monkeycracks> 'Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers'
[09:52] <Monkeycracks> =\
[09:52] <Calix> anyone very familiar with dpkg problems willing to help me out a bit?
[09:52] <doug_> earthmeLon thnks
[09:52] <PriceChild> !anyone | Calix
[09:52] <ubotu> Calix: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:52] <wailer> !pm
[09:52] <ubotu> 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.
[09:53] <mir> son of a bithc
[09:53] <Calix> well heres the error im getting dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `postdrop' in statoverride file E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[09:54] <wailer> ubotu missed the point
[09:54] <Calix> any time i try to install a package it happens
[09:54] <mir> I want to get to irc.Max-evolution
[09:54] <PMantis> Does anyone know how to undelete files on vfat ? testdisk seems to be for recovering partitions, not individual files.
[09:55] <kekk> ubuntu-desktop is absolutely safe to remove, right?
[09:55] <kekk> it being only a meta-package and all
[09:55] <wailer> !desktop
[09:55] <ubotu> A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM  and others.
[09:55] <PriceChild> kekk, reinstall it during distribution upgrades
[09:55] <sanguisdex> is there a package source that has thunderbird 2 in it?
[09:56] <kekk> PriceChild, but if I remove for example evolution, it will get installed when I install ubuntu-desktop?
[09:56] <Some_ux> well, at least my card is listed in the supported cards list
[09:56] <PriceChild> kekk, yes
[09:56] <kekk> okay, thanks, PriceChild
[09:57] <z0rz> How can I play mid files?
[09:57] <bjames> I've just installed VirtualBox (open source virtual machine), but it has "issues" obtaining the screen resolution and adjusting itself accordingly - it loses part of the screen.  Is there a way I can make it fullscreen (without "autohiding" the gnome controls)
[09:57] <bjames> ?
[09:57] <Monkeycracks> /etc/X11/xorg.conf in Section "Module", should I change dri to ati?
[09:58] <scorp123> hi all
[09:58] <wailer> should say load" dri"
[09:58] <Some_ux> ok, i think the failed to allocate mem resource is related to my card, as it says: PCI: failed to allocate ...
[09:58] <Monkeycracks> wailer, it does
[09:58] <wailer> or section"DRI"
[09:59] <beast> hi
[09:59] <doug_> why does my music soudn so low i got evrything turned way up but it still sounds real low
[09:59] <neoport0> little help here
[09:59] <ConstyXIV> is the webkit epiphany anywhere near stable?
[09:59] <Monkeycracks> i'm pretty new to linux, and I can't even seem to get video card drivers installed.. been trying for the past few days
[09:59] <Calix> so no one has any experiance with this error im getting when trying to install packages via aptitude apt-get or synaptic? dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `postdrop' in statoverride file E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[09:59] <beast> when ever i try to update or install, i get a slew of error messages http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35036/
[09:59] <neoport0> im trying to get the 3d effects for a SiS intergrated marage 2 card to work
[09:59] <beast> i think the root of the problem is ttf-opensymbol
[09:59] <neoport0> having a bit of a problem becuse i wanna use bearly on my pc
[10:00] <wailer> Monkeycracks: is there "mode = 0666"
[10:00] <stefg> beast: run sudo apt-get -f install
[10:00] <ConstyXIV> neoport0: i don't believe sis works on ubuntu for 3d.  i could be wrong though
[10:00] <scorp123> neoport0: "beryl" you mean :)
[10:00] <beast> stefg: i tried that already, here let me paste what comes up
[10:00] <neoport0> yes
[10:00] <neoport0> lol
[10:00] <alsa> any one know how to set a screen saver as your wallpaper ?
[10:00] <alsa> cant find the X script for it
[10:00] <sns> can anyone help me installing compiz-fusion?
[10:00] <doug_> why is my sound so low for
[10:00] <scorp123> ConstyXIV: you are right, a SiS probably isn't fast enough and does not provide some of the needed features.
[10:01] <ConstyXIV> sns: go to #ubuntu-effects.
[10:01] <rob_p> alsa: Nobody is answering you because that question makes little sense!  What are you really trying to do?  If you really want to capture a screenshot of your screensaver, you can do that and then set the captured image as your desktop background...
[10:01] <kekk> ConstyXIV, I have a SiS card, couldn't get it to work. there's a thread in the forums I believe that list the cards that don't work
[10:01] <ConstyXIV> scorp123: i was talking about a complete lack of DRI support
[10:01] <neoport0> well what about gaming
[10:01] <tux> doug_, Adjust your sound volume through the alsamixer command type: alsamixer in the terminal and look through the master volume and wave to see how low they are
[10:01] <neoport0> somthing with like 16b or somthing
[10:01] <mikeh0209> why would my Intel P3 750Mhz running Ubuntu Studio 7.04 randomly lock up and need to be reset to come back on?
[10:01] <neoport0> 16mb
[10:01] <neoport0> i mean
[10:02] <alsa> any one know how to set a screen saver as your wallpaper ?
[10:02] <godlygeek> alsa: no, it's possible, i just don't know how.
[10:02] <scorp123> mikeh0209: overheating maybe
[10:02] <scorp123> mikeh0209: or defective CPU and/or defective RAM
[10:02] <godlygeek> alsa: it's listed on a site named, i believe, "gnome-hacks"
[10:02] <mikeh0209> well, the highest temp is 104deg f
[10:02] <godlygeek> alsa: google for it.  :)
[10:02] <rexy> on what component?
[10:02] <Calix> godlygeek do you have any ideas how to fix this error im getting with dpkg?
[10:02] <neoport0> is SiS supported in festiy
[10:02] <doug_> tux master is 00 and PCM is 100<>100
[10:02] <stefg> mikeh0209: could be a sign of failing ram. let a memtest run overnight
[10:02] <rexy> neoport0: err yeah
[10:02] <godlygeek> Calix: what error?
[10:03] <mikeh0209> I did a ram test already with no bad results
[10:03] <rexy> the chipset/video should work
[10:03] <Monkeycracks> >.<
[10:03] <ConstyXIV> has anyone used the Epiphany with WebKit (the KDE/Mac rendering engine) instead of Gecko?
[10:03] <Calix> dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `postdrop' in statoverride file E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[10:03] <neoport0> hmm
[10:03] <rexy> Did you upgrade recently mikeh0209?
[10:03] <tux> doug_, Raise the master volume
[10:03] <Calix> its when i try to install new packages
[10:03] <mikeh0209> yes
[10:03] <doug_> how tux?
[10:03] <neoport0> im in drapper right now and i try to run pracing
[10:03] <stefg> mikeh0209: how long did you run it? one pass only?
[10:03] <mikeh0209> i am using the generic kernel
[10:03] <Calix> with any tool, aptitude, apt-get, synaptic, all same error
[10:03] <nubbe> I got ubuntu 7.04 is there any way to enhance the for example how k3b and amarok works?  I get a shitload of error messages (when started form term) and often knotify pops up.
[10:03] <neoport0> and lagsss like hell
[10:03] <tux> doug_, By using the arrows on the keyboard
[10:03] <mikeh0209> I let it run all night
[10:03] <doug_> tux all it did was high light evrything
[10:03] <Monkeycracks> !ati
[10:03] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:03] <beast> stefg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35037/
[10:03] <Monkeycracks> blah
[10:04] <Monkeycracks> radeon 9250 is not mentioned there
[10:04] <bjames> any ideas how to make a window fullscreen?
[10:04] <tux> doug_, For example like the up arrow on the keyboard raises the volume while the down arrow lowers it
[10:04] <godlygeek> Calix: locate statoverride  - find out what that file is.  :)
[10:04] <doug_> tux: the master will not move
[10:04] <ConstyXIV> Monkeycracks: i think the 9250 is supported by the OSS driver
[10:04] <eitreach> my old radeon 9250 worked nicely with Beryl, but lacked with Cedega, for instance. It could do some basic opengl stuff, but not much else in Ubuntu.
[10:04] <Calix> godlygeek the problem is im a linux noob and my browser wont install so i cant even look up the best way to do what ya just told me heh
[10:04] <doug_> tux: i dont have a mic so i dont care what thats at
[10:04] <mikeh0209> what is the purpose of the +2.5v from the power supply
[10:04] <neitcho> E: Rad 51 i kllistan /etc/apt/sources.list har fel format (dist-tolkning)
[10:04] <neitcho> E: Listan ver kllor kunde inte lsas.
[10:05] <godlygeek> Calix: what i just told you was a command.  ;-)
[10:05] <tux> doug_, Do you have a sound card installed on the machine or just onboard audio?
[10:05] <godlygeek> Calix: type it into a terminal.
[10:05] <rexy> Monkeycracks: it will still work, but you get fancy acceleration stuff, not a real issue unless you need it for gimmics/games
[10:05] <neitcho> vad ska jag gra synaptik gr inte att ppna
[10:05] <godlygeek> Calix: locate <filename>
[10:05] <doug_> tux i have a laptop so onboard
[10:05] <bjames> +2.5V might be the core voltage rail
[10:05] <SystemOverload> Hello.
[10:05] <nonix4> Where could I find a howto for 7.04 w/ lvm+raid1 /boot, lvm+raid5 / and the typical NAS services like nfs, samba, etc?
[10:05] <rexy> +2.5, sure it's not just the battery?
[10:05] <mikeh0209> bjames it seems this voltage falls to 1.70v
[10:05] <bjames> yes
[10:06] <alsa> cant find the X script for it
[10:06] <Calix> godlygeek well it spit some info back at me about where the files are located
[10:06] <bjames> that sounds about right
[10:06] <alsa> any one know how to set a screen saver as your wallpaper ?
[10:06] <bjames> core voltage most probably
[10:06] <tux> doug_, Tried going to the volume appet on the desktop of gnome to your top right and right-clicking the icon then clicking on open volume control?
[10:06] <stefg> beast: something with the openoffice packages is broken. i'd suggest to remove all offending packages and then reinstall them again
[10:06] <godlygeek> Calix: yep.  the file you want is in /var/lib/dpkg.
[10:06] <rexy> mikeh0209:  did you try running the system with an open case, and or with a big fan pointing towards it
[10:06] <Monkeycracks> hm
[10:06] <godlygeek> Calix: so, 'cat /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride'
[10:06] <godlygeek> Calix: what's in that file?
[10:06] <Calix> godlygeek just gedit the file and look for the group?
[10:06] <rexy> sounds like overheating or a power supply that cant cope
[10:06] <doug_> tux its all the way up
[10:06] <godlygeek> Calix: ok, gksu gedit /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride
[10:07] <empty> Oh my god, i just lost my sound on my feisty desktop.. can anyone help?
[10:07] <tux> my guess is it isn't detecting the onboard audio
[10:07] <mikeh0209> rexy no because I have 3 case fans, and a power supply with two fans and it never feels hot
[10:07] <beast> stefg: sorry, but what command would remove them
[10:07] <godlygeek> empty: sudo /etc/init.d/alsautils restart ?
[10:07] <bjames> does nobody in here know how to fullscreen a window?
[10:07] <bjames> I feel stupid for asking, but it seems no-one knows
[10:07] <tux> doug_, Try typing in asoundconf list in the terminal
[10:07] <mikeh0209> i have a 500 watt ps
[10:07] <bjames> :S
[10:07] <empty> godlygeek: i will try.. thx
[10:07] <kekk> bjames, fullscreen how?
[10:07] <godlygeek> bjames: that's window manager dependent... i don't use metacity, so i don't know... :)
[10:08] <neoport0> alsa.confok for sound card problem
[10:08] <neoport0> go to your synaptic package
[10:08] <tux> whereas asoundconf list will display the list of available sound cards
[10:08] <godlygeek> kekk: he probably means "not showing titlebar"
[10:08] <stefg> beast: sudo apt-get remove .... and then paste the list of packages at the end of your paste
[10:08] <bjames> is metacity the gnome default?
[10:08] <Monkeycracks> don't worry, i feel stupid for not knowing how to set up my video card drivers :P
[10:08] <doug_> shows intel tux
[10:08] <Calix> godlygeek its got that postdrop bit listed several times in the file
[10:08] <kekk> bjames, try F11 for firefox for example, don't know for others
[10:08] <neoport0> type in search alsa-base
[10:08] <nickrud> bjames, double click the top window bar?
[10:08] <neoport0> and run alsa
[10:08] <bjames> no, I don't want to MAXIMISE, nor do I want an application to hide some of it's toolbars
[10:08] <mikeh0209> How do i test to see if my cpu is going bad
[10:08] <godlygeek> Calix: cd /var/lib/dpkg; sudo cp statoverride statoverride.bak; gksu gedit statoverride'
[10:08] <wailer> bjames:be more specific - what won't work
[10:09] <bjames> F11 just puts firefox into a "minimal menus" mode
[10:09] <tux> doug_, Try this now asoundconf set-default-card intel or whatever type of card its displaying
[10:09] <St3a1tH> is it possible change the default character encoding from UTF8 to ISO-8859-1 in  just one session inside gnome-terminal ?
[10:09] <empty> godlygeek: still soundless
[10:09] <neoport0> another question
[10:09] <godlygeek> Calix: so, make a backup copy, edit the original, and remove those lines.
[10:09] <neoport0> is is there away to config yoru bandwith on your etho card
[10:09] <bjames> you may have missed my original question...
[10:09] <godlygeek> Calix: then see what happens.
[10:09] <godlygeek> bjames: what was your original question?
[10:09] <doug_> tux its all the same
[10:10] <Calix> yeah godlygeek i have the file open
[10:10] <bjames> I've just installed VirtualBox (VM), but the guest OS doesn't fit in the window so I want to fullscreen it
[10:10] <wailer> bjames: fullscreen a window??
[10:10] <godlygeek> empty: sorry, that was my guess... what does 'cat /dev/urandom >/dev/dsp' in a terminal do?
[10:10] <godlygeek> empty: it should make a lot of static until you hit ctrl-c...
[10:10] <doug_> tux it was working fine yesterday am now using amarak so could it be cause of that?
[10:10] <bjames> the gnome panels are getting in the way, so I want the window manager to give the window the entire screen
[10:10] <b4l74z4r> is there an app in ubuntu that can give me the various system temps?
[10:10] <mikeh0209> gkrellm
[10:10] <bjames> so when it fullscreens it isn't spilling over the edges
[10:10] <Sir_Lewk> is there an easy way to upgrade to KDE 3.5.7?  Kubuntu seems to currently use 3.5.6
[10:10] <Some_ux> ok, reading the BinaryDriveHowto. it claims that System  Administration  Restricted Devices Manager would be the recommended way to install the drivers. unfortunately,  such an option does not exist in the manager
[10:10] <Monkeycracks> can someone tell me more about the open source drivers that work with radeon 9250?
[10:11] <Calix> godlygeek should i maybe paste to ya the contents of this file?
[10:11] <tux> doug_, I highly doubt it though have you tried another media player like Banshee, BMPX, XMMS, or some other media player
[10:11] <empty> godlygeek: no static
[10:11] <PriceChild> Monkeycracks, ask what you want to know.
[10:11] <doug_> not yet tux
[10:11] <St3a1tH> is it possible change the default character encoding from UTF8 to ISO-8859-1 in  just one session inside gnome-terminal ?
[10:11] <doug_> tux let me go try that and i elt u know
[10:11] <godlygeek> Calix: no, don't do that.  just backup the file, remove those lines, and cross your fingers.
[10:11] <tux> I gotcha
[10:11] <godlygeek> Calix: worst case scenario you can restore the backup.
[10:11] <Monkeycracks> I've been asking how set up any sort of working drivers. I have a Radeon 9250
[10:11] <godlygeek> empty: hm.  no errors, either?
[10:11] <Calix> just remove anywhere that it says postdrop?
[10:11] <Monkeycracks> !ati, doesn't help me out any
[10:11] <PriceChild> Monkeycracks, the card doesn't work out of the box?
[10:11] <mikeh0209> is there a program to test cpu for problems
[10:11] <godlygeek> Calix: that's what i'd try.
[10:11] <tux> doug_, Forgot to add there was one media player that did that too me it didn't add the right sound device and I couldn't hear the music playing
[10:12] <tux> but that was BMPX
[10:12] <bjames> ok then, I'll change the question - where should I ask about metacity?
[10:12] <empty> godlygeek: nothing come out, after typing
[10:12] <tux> configured it correctly and it worked
[10:12] <bjames> "gnome" is asleep
[10:12] <St3a1tH> mikeh0209:  mprime
[10:12] <Monkeycracks> PriceChild, apparently not. I can't run any form of game
[10:12] <wailer> bjames: spilling over the edges suggests that the monitor has settins that aren't right - there are buttons on the front for that
[10:12] <bjames> wailer: no, you don't understand me
[10:12] <bjames> it is a VM
[10:12] <godlygeek> empty: no idea, then.
[10:12] <bjames> on a laptop
[10:12] <dutler> hi, can anyone help with a tomcat issue? everthing works fine i jsut need to get an appliation to start automatically
[10:12] <PriceChild> Monkeycracks, ah so it does work... just not 3d.
[10:12] <Some_ux> do i need to install something for the restricted devices manager so it can install the nvidia drivers ?
[10:12] <bjames> the screen settings are fine - i.e. the host OS runs perfectly
[10:13] <wailer> bjames: I'm patient
[10:13] <empty> godlygeek: just now i install another mixer.. but found that it is not a DJ mixer,
[10:13] <PriceChild> Monkeycracks, I ahve no idea if fglrx works on that card... but you might want to tell the good people what problem you're experiencing.
[10:13] <Monkeycracks> PriceChild, I guess that's the problem
[10:13] <mikeh0209> where do i get mprime
[10:13] <doug_> tux: rythombox does nto play at all
[10:13] <Monkeycracks> PriceChild, ...unworkingness?
[10:13] <PriceChild> !doesn't work | Monkeycracks
[10:13] <eitreach> monkeycracks> which driver are you using now?
[10:13] <ubotu> Monkeycracks: 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.
[10:13] <nickrud> St3a1tH, export LANG="iso-8859-1" I think works
[10:13] <St3a1tH> mikeh0209: google it :)
[10:13] <empty> godlygeek: then the problem come in after i restart my system
[10:13] <godlygeek> empty: sorry, sound isn't really my thing.
[10:13] <Monkeycracks> eitreach, that's a good question
[10:13] <wailer> bjames: try again with different words
[10:13] <PriceChild> Monkeycracks, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep driver
[10:13] <neoport0> what would be a good graphics card to get with ubuntu

[10:14] <Calix> godlygeek it seems the problem is in the first line
[10:14] <empty> godlygeek: removed, now only the original volume control left.. and it doesnt produce sound
[10:14] <Feistyfreak> ok..... I'm about to lose it
[10:14] <Monkeycracks> PriceChild, that did seemingly nothing in the terminal

[10:14] <doug_> tux its coming back playback open error -19 no such device

[10:15] <domin> alguien me ayuda
[10:15] <bjames> I don't want to use autohiding as I'm running Compiz and I want the VM fullscreen on one side of the cube
[10:15] <domin> ???
[10:15] <jd_> hey, is there anyone who could answer a wine question?
[10:15] <godlygeek> Calix: are you running a server?
[10:15] <Feistyfreak> well... no... I take that back....... fglrx runs.... it just doesn't do anything
[10:15] <empty> godlygeek: it is alright.. i just have to figure out something
[10:15] <Calix> desktop
[10:15] <domin> Ubuntu Ulttimate
[10:15] <zitner> Heylo, I'm trying to install the Avi Player plugin for xmms, but don't know how, and the read me is confusing.
[10:15] <domin> WoW
[10:15] <Feistyfreak> fglrxinfo still returns Mesa for video
[10:15] <bjames> jd_: try a wine channel?
[10:15] <stefg> !es | domin
[10:15] <ubotu> domin: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[10:15] <jd_> there's wine channels?
[10:15] <jd_> thanks
[10:15] <domin> thank
[10:15] <Monkeycracks> PriceChild, http://pastebin.ca/670515
[10:15] <tux> seems the device wasn't detected which in turn would probably mean you have to configure the sound device I'll see if I can get info on that
[10:16] <bluefox83> zitner, why are you installing an avi player in a mp3 player?
[10:16] <bjames> I think I'm going to try compiz channel, as I don't think I'm being clear enough/nobody understands the problem here
[10:16] <wailer> bjames: sorry - apart from the dishes linux does all that I need - don't need no other OS
[10:16] <bjames> thanks for the responses though :)
[10:16] <beast> stefg: ok it's removing all the offending packages right now and going to install them back after its complete
[10:16] <PriceChild> Monkeycracks, you've got two drivers listed.... please copy the entire cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf please
[10:16] <Feistyfreak> is there something running in the background that overrides third party versions of Ubuntu modules?
[10:16] <jthomas> Hi, How do I remove the drive icons from the desktop?
[10:16] <godlygeek> Calix: dpkg -l postfix
[10:16] <finalbeta_> !paste
[10:16] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:16] <PriceChild> jthomas, in gconf-editor, one minute
[10:16] <godlygeek> Calix: does that return anything?
[10:16] <jthomas> PriceChild: Okay.
[10:16] <PriceChild> jthomas, open that program then browse to /apps/nautilus/
[10:16] <Feistyfreak> Ubuntu has their own version of FGLRX, but I blacklisted it and it still is overriding the ATI version causing DRI issues
[10:16] <bjames> wailer: a VM doesn't just have to be used to run other OSes
[10:17] <Monkeycracks> PriceChild, http://pastebin.ca/670518
[10:17] <Calix> command not found
[10:17] <zitner> Bluefox83, because I it has the option, and all the other players that come with Ubuntu won't play my avi videos, and that with the DivX codec installed.
[10:17] <PriceChild> jthomas, /apps/nautilus/desktop, then uncheck volumes_visible
[10:17] <bjames> I will be using it for kernel development (without killing the host OS)
[10:17] <godlygeek> Calix: you mistyped something.
[10:17] <stefg> !icons
[10:17] <doug_> tux: u get my last message?
[10:17] <ubotu> Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[10:17] <jthomas> PriceChild: Thank you :D
[10:17] <tux> doug_, Trying to find this information about how to fix the sound on Ubuntu its somewhere on Ubuntuforums.org
[10:17] <godlygeek> Calix: you have to have dpkg installed.
[10:17] <godlygeek> Calix: dpkg -l postfix
[10:17] <tux> yes doug_
[10:17] <PriceChild> Monkeycracks, so do you have two graphics cards, and two monitors?
[10:17] <wailer> bjames: I have no need so I haven't explored - sorry
[10:17] <bluefox83> zitner, i have a plugin for amarok that will pass a .avi file over to whatever movie player i tell it to...
[10:17] <bjames> cheers anyway
[10:17] <bjames> bye
[10:17] <Monkeycracks> PriceChild, I have an onboard one and my PCI Radeon 9250. Only one monitor
[10:17] <doug_> tux: ah ok cause its hard for me to keep up with all the tells
[10:17] <godlygeek> bjames: I don't run metacity, so no clue.
[10:18] <PriceChild> Monkeycracks, two cards?
[10:18] <Monkeycracks> PriceChild, My Radeon 9250 has support for two monitors, but I do not use them
[10:18] <Calix> ok it returned a postfix and version 2.3.8-2
[10:18] <zitner> Bluefox83, please hook me up, I use amarok for everything.
[10:18] <jthomas> Also, can I run my apache2, mysql, and php5 server, and then on the side have a server for ruby? Or will they interfere?
[10:18] <tux> doug_, Try going to system >> preferences >> sound >> and see what card its displaying in the (default mixer track)
[10:18] <PriceChild> Monkeycracks, If i were you I'd clean up your xorg.conf and remove the card you don't want.
[10:18] <godlygeek> Calix: postfix is a mail server.  you PROBABLY don't want that installed.
[10:18] <bluefox83> zitner, ok, let me see if i can find where i put it :D
[10:18] <godlygeek> Calix: can you think of any reason why you'd want it?  :)
[10:18] <Calix> no
[10:18] <Monkeycracks> PriceChild, I have no idea how to do so, this is my first day of linux :P
[10:18] <TtyS2> hi
[10:18] <neoport0> so i guess no 3d cabablitity for this SiS chip
[10:19] <Calix> can i just remove it?
[10:19] <neoport0> ?
[10:19] <TtyS2> where can i find xlib6g
[10:19] <godlygeek> Calix: then 'sudo apt-get purge postfix'
[10:19] <kekk> neoport0, I'm afraid so
[10:19] <Monkeycracks> PriceChild, it seem sto be [Read Only]  as well
[10:19] <neoport0> bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[10:19] <neoport0> lol
[10:19] <doug_> tux its HDA intel alsa mixer
[10:19] <godlygeek> Calix: purge, not remove, to delete config files, too.
[10:19] <domin> sudo aptitude install beryl is correct?
[10:19] <eitreach> monkeycracks >gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf - remember to take a backup.
[10:19] <PriceChild> eitreach, gksudo
[10:19] <Calix> it said invalid operation purge
[10:19] <tux> doug_, That's the only one in there right
[10:19] <domin> ?
[10:19] <eitreach> *cough* sorry.
[10:19] <crdlb> PriceChild, gksu = gksudo :)
[10:19] <PriceChild> Monkeycracks, I'm scared to let you loose editing this file
[10:19] <crdlb> they're symlinks
[10:19] <PriceChild> crdlb, meh ;)
[10:19] <Monkeycracks> lol
[10:20] <PriceChild> ah i didn't know
[10:20] <domin> sudo remove?
[10:20] <neoport0> other then that any *cough*hackt0rs in here
[10:20] <PriceChild> Monkeycracks, if you get it wrong... you'll be dumped to terminal
[10:20] <doug_> tux: i also see realtek ALC861 (OSS MIXER)
[10:20] <Monkeycracks> PriceChild, I'm afraid to touch it as well
[10:20] <domin> speek spanish??
[10:20] <crdlb> Monkeycracks, in a terminal, run: glxinfo|grep vendor
[10:20] <godlygeek> Calix: huh.  'sudo aptitude purge postfix'?
[10:20] <Calix> godlygeek? purge doesnt work mate :(
[10:20] <PriceChild> Monkeycracks, especially as afterwards... i still won't be able to help with the fglrx other than reading the wiki with you.
[10:20] <PriceChild> !es | domin
[10:20] <Calix> oh aptitude
[10:20] <ubotu> domin: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[10:20] <domin> :@
[10:20] <Calix> sudo aptitude purge postfix
[10:20] <crdlb> Monkeycracks, and tell me how many 'ATI' and 'SGI' you see
[10:21] <godlygeek> Calix: it should have worked with apt-get, but lets try aptitude instead, if you have aptitude installed.  :)
[10:21] <neoport0> hey were are there good themes for ubuntu
[10:21] <Monkeycracks> server string = sgi, client string = ati
[10:21] <tux> doug_, You could try switching to that realtek device and try switching the device in the volume applet towards the top right corner
[10:21] <godlygeek> Calix: for the love of god start putting my name before the messages you send me.  :)
[10:21] <crdlb> Monkeycracks, sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg-driver-fglrx
[10:21] <wailer> PiceChild: if he opens box & removes card that has no monitor...
[10:21] <Monkeycracks> crdlb, its working
[10:21] <tux> then right-clicking on the volume appet and clicking on preferences
[10:21] <Monkeycracks> on removing i guess
[10:22] <Monkeycracks> alright, now what?
[10:22] <crdlb> Monkeycracks, glxinfo|grep direct
[10:22] <beast> stefg: no good, any other suggestions?
[10:22] <Calix> godlygeek: sorry mate :D
[10:22] <doug_> same thing tux
[10:22] <zeroflag> is it possible to make ubuntu act as a bootable firewire slave? (possibly pointing to virtual drive-images?)
[10:22] <Monkeycracks> direct rendering = yes
[10:22] <crdlb> Monkeycracks, \o/
[10:22] <godlygeek> Calix: it's just really hard to see what messages are to me without hilighting.  :)
[10:22] <Monkeycracks> !
[10:22] <Monkeycracks> so
[10:22] <Monkeycracks> that was it lol?
[10:22] <crdlb> yup
[10:22] <ResPiDeR> Hey I have ALT+F3 set to "run a terminal" in keyboard shortcuts, but now I'm getting an error window when I press ALT+F3 that says "Text was empty (or contained only whitespace)". Whats that?
[10:22] <stefg> beast: so what happened?
[10:23] <godlygeek> Calix: plus my screen has lots of glare right now since i'm sitting outside.  :)
[10:23] <Monkeycracks> heh
[10:23] <Monkeycracks> one second
[10:23] <tux> doug_, Is onboard audio enabled in your BIOS
[10:23] <bluefox83> zitner, wake up dude, the script is comin at ya
[10:23] <Calix> godlygeek: i think u fixed it for me mate :D
[10:23] <doug_> tux: how do i check and enable
[10:23] <zitner> Bluefox83, I'm awake, lol.  I see.
[10:23] <Monkeycracks> crdlb, now am I going to need to reboot for changes to take effect?
[10:23] <zitner> Bluefox83, um, when it's done, what do you want me to do?
[10:23] <crdlb> Monkeycracks, shouldn't need to
[10:23] <beast> stefg: i removed all the offending packages, except ttf-opensymbol which wouldn't uninstall
[10:24] <intr80> Anybody know how to keep ubuntu from automounting every time I plug in a usb device/cd ?
[10:24] <bluefox83> zitner, when you get that, just load it with amarok's script manager as-is
[10:24] <godlygeek> Calix: I sure hope so.  I knew i'd heard of postdrop, it just took me a while to remember that it was related to postfix and you almost certainly didn't want that installed.  :)
[10:24] <wailer> cntl-alt-bksp
[10:24] <beast> stefg: then i reinstalled them all, but i still get those same errors
[10:24] <TtyS2> where can i find xlib6g?
[10:24] <Monkeycracks> hm
[10:24] <tux> doug_, Depends on the motherboard you have to reboot the machine and usually press a certain button to get in to the BIOS
[10:24] <KsiLaptop> Hello, need to get my interfaces back to eth0/1, etc
[10:24] <bluefox83> zitner, no need to open it up since amarok loads things that way
[10:24] <Monkeycracks> i need something to test this on
[10:24] <tux> doug_, Here's a list http://www.inventio.co.uk/getbios.htm
[10:24] <KsiLaptop> For some reason its up at eth6 and 7
[10:24] <Calix> godlygeek: well i got my browser back finally! woohoo, now i can figure stuff out on my own when i mess it up haha
[10:24] <zitner> Bluefox83, Um, how do I go about doing that?
[10:24] <KsiLaptop> I've just never had to do this before.
[10:24] <rexy> anyone got k8temp to work? does it require acpi to be turned off?
[10:25] <bluefox83> zitner, well you can start by accepting the dcc...
[10:25] <doug_> thnks tux
[10:25] <etale> is it possible to reload the default panel in gnome desktop?
[10:25] <beast> stefg: i think ttf-opensymbol is the root of all my problems, if that was fixed, i htink open office could them be configured
[10:25] <stefg> beast: how comes you're trying to install openoffice-experimental? i suggest getting a clean sources.list, sudo apt-get update and then install openoffice again
[10:25] <zitner> Bluefox83, I knew that, lol.
[10:25] <KsiLaptop> Anyone?
[10:25] <crdlb> Monkeycracks, planetpenguin-racer :)
[10:25] <zeroflag> is it possible to make ubuntu act as a bootable firewire slave? (possibly pointing to virtual drive-images?)
[10:26] <zitner> Bluefox, it didn't work, it said function not supported.
[10:26] <godlygeek> Calix: glad i could help.
[10:26] <bluefox83> zitner, the file hasn't been sent yet...
[10:26] <Monkeycracks> downloading ;)
[10:27] <Monkeycracks> um
[10:27] <Monkeycracks> ww
[10:27] <Monkeycracks> wow*
[10:27] <zitner> Bluefox83, I know how to, next to the new window that opened up, next to status, Failed (Connection failure: operation is not supported)
[10:27] <beast> stefg: i'm not trying to install openoffice-experimental. In the errors I get, it says openoffice.org-common depends on experimental, but I was trying to fix ttf-opensymbol first
[10:28] <Monkeycracks> crdlb, the text looked like -'s and _'s
[10:28] <Monkeycracks> so i never made it past the menu
[10:28] <bluefox83> zitner, you might want to turn your dcc features on then..what client are you using?
[10:28] <wailer> Monkeycracks:  you pm'ed me but didn't let me  know - hehe :)
[10:28] <beast> stefg: my list is clean anyway, i haven't added any repositories to it
[10:28] <Monkeycracks> wailer, sorry heh
[10:28] <Monkeycracks> didn't mean to
[10:28] <ProNoob> are there any tools to configure my keyboard layout customly ? to customize it, because some of my keys (like 4) don't show up correctly
[10:28] <ctothej> i'd like to be able to create arrow lines in gimp. How can i most easily do this?
[10:28] <crdlb> Monkeycracks, try restarting X
[10:29] <Monkeycracks> ctrl+alt+backspace    then startx?
[10:29] <crdlb> that would work
[10:29] <wailer> Monkeycracks: took me a while ....
[10:29] <stefg> beast: but having a dependency error would indicate a broken repo... this isn't gutsy, isist?
[10:29] <Monkeycracks> alright
[10:29] <Monkeycracks> be back soon
[10:29] <zitner> Bluefox83, I'm using Konversation.
[10:29] <Monkeycracks> hopefully ;D
[10:29] <beast> stefg: nope feisty
[10:29] <KsiLaptop> Anyone know how to renumber network interfaces?
[10:29] <godlygeek> Monkeycracks: ctrl-alt-backspace restarts x on its own.
[10:29] <godlygeek> mon^rch: you don't need startx.
[10:30] <godlygeek> KsiLaptop: isn't the right way using udev
[10:30] <KsiLaptop> godlygeek: I've never done it before.
[10:30] <alsa> how to add a command to execute on startup ?
[10:30] <godlygeek> KsiLaptop: *shrug*  :)
[10:30] <rockets> Anybody running Ubuntu on an XPS 700?
[10:31] <alsa> how to add a command to execute on startup ?
[10:31] <godlygeek> KsiLaptop: I might be wrong.  googling 'renumber network interfaces' should help, though.
[10:31] <nickrud> alsa make a reference to it in /etc/rc.local
[10:31] <KsiLaptop> godlygeek: Done that.
[10:31] <KsiLaptop> Not much useful.
[10:31] <Taffy-nay> I installed half live with wine and am having an issue, the Hazard course works, but the main game does not, it just closes down. any ideas?
[10:31] <mannytu> XPS = $$$
[10:31] <rockets> Anybody gotten RAID working specifically on an xps 700
[10:31] <stefg> !info ttf-opensymbol
[10:31] <ubotu> ttf-opensymbol: The OpenSymbol TrueType font. In component main, is optional. Version 2.2.0-1ubuntu4 (feisty), package size 178 kB, installed size 348 kB
[10:31] <godlygeek> KsiLaptop: sorry.  :)  I'm on a slow internet connection, or i'd try to help.
[10:31] <alsa> nickrud
[10:31] <alsa> how
[10:31] <neoport0> does ubuntu use gk2
[10:32] <neoport0> gtk 2
[10:32] <neoport0> ro whatever
[10:32] <neoport0> lol
[10:32] <wailer> alsa: system - preferences-sessions - startup progs
[10:32] <Adlai> neoport0: yes
[10:32] <cavediver> Hi. I'm browsing my other computer using sshfs in nautilus and when I try to play a movie for instance totem says it won't support it. How can I play over the network ?
[10:32] <neoport0> adlai were is a good place to find themes
[10:32] <neoport0> good themes
[10:32] <Adlai> the internets
[10:32] <nickrud> alsa, put the name of the script on a line by itself just before exit 0.
[10:32] <cavediver> Is there a way to install support for sshfs streaming to totem ?
[10:33] <neoport0> yah but any preticuler site
[10:33] <UBUNTU01> http://antigop-k4.narod.ru
[10:33] <jd_> hey, how would i unhide my wine folder
[10:33] <Adlai> probably gnome-look or gtk-look or something, just google it
[10:33] <nickrud> alsa, hmm, "startup" here is an important word. Just what do you want to start up?
[10:33] <eitreach> neoport0> if you install art manager, you'll have access to some nice stuffs.
[10:33] <Adlai> jd_: seems easiest just to make an un-hidden symlink to it
[10:33] <godlygeek> cavediver: does totem say that it supports it if you copy it to the local machine?
[10:34] <Ashfire908> !gaim > Ashfire908
[10:34] <cavediver> godlygeek: yes then it works
[10:34] <beast> can someone point me to a clean sources,list for feisty?
[10:34] <godlygeek> cavediver: huh.  weird.  switch to gmplayer?  :)
[10:34] <stefg> cavediver: tried that some months ago and ended up using vlc
[10:34] <alsa> listen
[10:34] <nickrud> !source-o-matic > beast (see the private message)
[10:34] <godlygeek> cavediver: yeh, vlc is nice, too.
[10:34] <cavediver> godlygeek: There is no input plugin to handle the location of this movie
[10:34] <alsa> i added this command to make a screensaver run with -root
[10:34] <cavediver> Is the error message
[10:34] <alsa> but it doesnt show
[10:35] <nickrud> alsa, in gnome?
[10:35] <alsa> yeah
[10:35] <alsa> xscreensave/saver -root
[10:35] <antmangaka> hello :)
[10:35] <nickrud> alsa, and the advice I gave won't work, it's not for stuff inside of X
[10:35] <cavediver> If I use open with another application and types in vlc it just starts but not showing the movie
[10:35] <alsa> nickrud
[10:36] <alsa> i added the application to the startup
[10:36] <B_166-ER-X> my Gnome session keep crashing on startup (telling it didnt last 10 seconds and all) i have no idea... heres the log :  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35041/
[10:36] <B_166-ER-X> please :)
[10:36] <alsa> and i tried running from command line
[10:36] <KsiLaptop> You know what, I do need to just reinstall this anyway.
[10:36] <godlygeek> cavediver: where is the sshfs mounted at?
[10:36] <nickrud> alsa, as I understand it, gnome's desktop is not really the X server root screen, but a window drawn upon it. Therefore, the fancy root window tricks don't work
[10:36] <antmangaka> i have a problem with the desktop, I updated to gutsy stuff and now everytime that i want to open a folder i closes and goes back to desktop folder...
[10:36] <godlygeek> cavediver: does "vlc /mnt/sshfs/something" work?
[10:36] <antmangaka> it*
[10:37] <nickrud> alsa, because they're hidden behind the desktop
[10:37] <cavediver>  godlygeek not mounted, i'm browsing in nautilus and doubleclicking
[10:37] <erUSUL> !gutsy | antmangaka
[10:37] <ubotu> antmangaka: 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
[10:37] <godlygeek> alsa, nickrud: right.  the desktop is a window drawn on top of the root screen, to support icons.
[10:37] <wailer> !gutsy
[10:37] <alsa> nickrud please explain
[10:37] <antmangaka> ty :)
[10:37] <godlygeek> cavediver: i have no idea, never used sshfs that way.
[10:37] <cavediver> mkay
[10:37] <cavediver> ssh://oxygen/media/local_storage/Diving
[10:38] <godlygeek> cavediver: i'm a console man myself, and prefer to mount and umount things by hand from a console.
[10:38] <alsa> godlygeek
[10:38] <cavediver> in the address bar
[10:38] <B_166-ER-X> Also : I am able to be here, because i just opened a terminal killed 'bonobo'  then restarted nautilus, alls works well, be the 10 second gnome window is still there... and i i close it, it restart X
[10:38] <cavediver> oki
[10:38] <godlygeek> alsa
[10:38] <alsa> then how to set the screensaver as wallpaper
[10:38] <TheMafia> how do I figure out which /dev my modem installed to?
[10:38] <nickrud> alsa, the best way to demonstrate would be for you to run gconf-editor, and in apps/nautilus/preferences turn off draw_desktop. Then you'd probably see the screensaver stuff you're trying
[10:38] <erUSUL> TheMafia: which type of modem?
[10:38] <godlygeek> alsa: no idea.  i don't use metacity.  though disabling desktop icons might do the trick?
[10:38] <emeriste> How do I uninstall from the command line again?
[10:38] <godlygeek> alsa: yeh, nickrud's stuff sounds better
[10:39] <godlygeek> emeriste: sudo apt-get remove packagename
[10:39] <nickrud> alsa or show desktop, or whatever it is exactly
[10:39] <stefg> !apt | emeriste
[10:39] <ubotu> emeriste: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[10:39] <TheMafia> erUSUL,  usr pci modem
[10:39] <emeriste> Okay remove. Thanks.
[10:39] <godlygeek> emeriste: if you knew apt-get, you should have done a "man apt-get"  :)
[10:39] <alsa> where is the nautilus found bro
[10:39] <emeriste> Probably true. Probably true. :)
[10:40] <neoport0> is there away to get onto yahoo chat rooms with a linux client
[10:40] <nickrud> alsa, in a terminal, run gconf-editor  . The tree is on the left, navigate to /apps/nautilus/preferences
[10:40] <neoport0> gaim
[10:40] <neoport0> is not
[10:40] <erUSUL> TheMafia: pci modems are a pain in linux... usually they are softmodems or winmodems
[10:40] <erUSUL> !dial-up | TheMafia
[10:40] <ubotu> TheMafia: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
[10:40] <TheMafia> erUSUL, agreed, however this one I am pretty sure is a hardware modem
[10:40] <erUSUL> TheMafia: check that link
[10:41] <_tux> neoport0, Use pidgin its GAIM but they had to change their name due to copyright they have Yahoo! chat rooms
[10:41] <_tux> http://www.pidgin.im/
[10:41] <neoport0> tux does it alow you to connect to yahoo chatrooms
[10:41] <Yodude> plz i needhelp with DVDs
[10:41] <PriceChild> _tux, doesn't gaim do that fine also?
[10:41] <PriceChild> !libdvdcss2 | Yodude
[10:41] <ubotu> Yodude: 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
[10:41] <_tux> neoport0, Yes the only issue is Yahoo servers disconnect most of the time and getting in is a big issue
[10:42] <godlygeek> PriceChild: gaim changed its name to pidgin.
[10:42] <alsa> nickrud im there
[10:42] <_tux> PriceChild, Yes but GAIM is an older version now
[10:42] <alsa> just where is that option u spoke of
[10:42] <PriceChild> godlygeek, I kinda know :)
[10:42] <PriceChild> !highno | _tux godlygeek
[10:42] <ubotu> _tux godlygeek: 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.
[10:42] <beast> stefg: i got a clean sources.list with only the default repositories, but still the same problem
[10:42] <PriceChild> _tux, gaim is in ubuntu, works perfectly and is supported by us.
[10:42] <PriceChild> _tux, Please do not recommend users install other things with no reasoning behind it.
[10:42] <eren> hello:(
[10:42] <nickrud> alsa, now look for show_desktop, and uncheck it
[10:42] <_tux> PriceChild, I agree
[10:42] <snsone> anyone help me getting fusion-compiz working (when i open it, it doesn't do anything)
[10:42] <Some_ux> ok, ubuntu installation is taking me way more than i expected
[10:42] <godlygeek> PriceChild: !gaim_is_a_piece_of_crap_no_matter_what_they_call_it_today | PriceChild
[10:42] <nickrud> alsa, after that try your xscreensaver -root stuff

[10:43] <_tux> I personally prefer up to date software but that's just me
[10:43] <pupi120290> hello, it is possible to compile python-programs?
[10:43] <PriceChild> pupi120290, python code is compiled when run
[10:43] <alsa> oki removed it
[10:43] <stefg> beast: did you sudo apt-get update after replacing sources.lsit to actually make the changes effective?
[10:43] <alsa> and ran the root thing
[10:44] <Comedy--> net
[10:44] <beast> stefg: yes, then did an apt-get upgrade, but to no avail
[10:44] <erUSUL> pupi120290: psyco does JIT compilation (with C) of python
[10:44] <eren> i have a problem about installer of grub.when i want to install ubuntu to my sata hdd...it is going to %94th part and it gives a error message "(hd0) failled)

[10:45] <pupi120290> ok ill take a look at it
[10:45] <beast> stefg: i've been chipping away at it for days now
[10:45] <rockets> can i use dmraid and then install ubuntu via gui the normal way

[10:45] <alsa> any one
[10:45] <eren> hey?
[10:45] <nickrud> alsa, then I'm not sure why it's not working; I haven't used that stuff since gnome 1.x . I do know that the root window stuff will work with fluxbox and friends, though.
[10:45] <alsa> any other solution
[10:46] <eren> omg...
[10:46] <PriceChild> neoport0, buddies > join a chat, choose your yahoo screen name and name of channel
[10:46] <godlygeek> alsa: I can't help.  I don't know how to work around metacity problems, I don't use metacity.
[10:46] <beast>  when ever i try to update or install, i get a slew of error messages http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35036/

[10:46] <PriceChild> !please | eren
[10:46] <ubotu> eren: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience
[10:46] <PriceChild> eren, is this problem repeatable?
[10:46] <godlygeek> nickrud: Is metacity just the decorator?

[10:47] <PriceChild> snsone, go back to -effects and be patient please :)
[10:47] <godlygeek> nickrud: In any event, *box for the win.
[10:47] <eren> yes i tried
[10:47] <eren> maybe 5-6
[10:47] <nickrud> godlygeek, you are a philistine ;)
[10:47] <PriceChild> eren, and the same happens every single time?
[10:47] <eren> it gives error message
[10:48] <godlygeek> nickrud: If I even start X anymore, it's into openbox.  :)
[10:48] <Venko> Should I be using OSS or Alsa in WINE?
[10:48] <eren> yes on the %94 same error message
[10:48] <neoport0> ok well it did not connect

[10:48] <beast> can anyone help me with these error messages? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35036/
[10:48] <Some_ux> there is too many posts about it
[10:49] <godlygeek> nickrud: I really find the default gnome wm unbearably ugly and kinda slow.  the *box are lightning fast.  that's all i have to say about it.  :)
[10:49] <nickrud> godlygeek, don't forget bmv and zgv now. How can you do without?
[10:49] <eren> PriceChild,could it be fix?
[10:49] <godlygeek> gotpunk`: what are bmv and zgv?
[10:49] <godlygeek> nickrud: ^to you, rather.
[10:49] <PriceChild> eren, I'm not sure sorry.. I'd suggest you attempt using the alternate install cd.
[10:49] <jd_> is there an ubuntu equivalent to alt f4
[10:49] <eren> i tried too lol
[10:50] <eren> i am using sata hdd
[10:50] <nickrud> godlygeek, they're svgalib pdf & image viewers
[10:50] <PriceChild> jd_, yeah, alt+f4
[10:50] <eren> it is not hda
[10:50] <ruben> Hi, using urxvt, what is the way to disable bold colors? I can't read blue directories :(, any idea?
[10:50] <jd_> ...oh
[10:50] <jd_> thanks.
[10:50] <hetauma> hi I have a pc with C: emty and windows on E: . If I install ubuntu on C: would grub have any problems loading win ? or would windows have any problem after that with the change of drive letters? boot.ini is still on c:
[10:50] <PriceChild> jd_, anytime :)
[10:50] <mariocesar_bo> Hi, how can enable composite with out using compiz?
[10:50] <pupi120290> ruben: try ls -l
[10:50] <godlygeek> nickrud: ah.  fbi and fbgs are framebuffer versions of the same stuff.  :)
[10:50] <pupi120290> so ill now what permission you have
[10:51] <godlygeek> nickrud: and mplayer has a -vo for framebuffers if i need to watch video.  hehe
[10:51] <PriceChild> mariocesar_bo, #ubuntu-effects please.... and I think you dont' understand what "composite" is ;)
[10:51] <eren> PriceChild. i tried diffrent cds and installs .i am using sata harddisk and it gives (hda) error
[10:51] <Ashfire908> is there a command to purge memory used for caching
[10:51] <PriceChild> eren, even on the alternate cd?
[10:51] <eren> yes
[10:51] <nickrud> godlygeek, I've vaguely heard of that :)
[10:51] <Berto2> hi.  I recently changed /etc/network/interfaces but when i restart /etc/init.d/networking, it's still old behavior.  How do I force it to use /etc/network/interfaces ??
[10:51] <PriceChild> eren, I haven't a clue/
[10:51] <neoport0> Pricechild it will not connect
[10:52] <godlygeek> nickrud: I have the same functionality as if i were running X, and I look way more 1337 if a script-kiddie walks by.  :)
[10:52] <eren> thnx price child.i think i ll return to pardus lol.it is enought.but ubuntu is best i am sure that

[10:53] <PriceChild> mariocesar_bo, #ubuntu-effects please
[10:53] <BrendanW> I'm back with a fresh install. All is well again.
[10:53] <BrendanW> However, I have a question.
[10:54] <sauvin> I have a statement.
[10:54] <mariocesar_bo> PriceChild: if i install this package, i would install compiz ... i don't want this
[10:54] <zitner> Bluefox83, I have the file, how do I use it with Amarok, you said?
[10:54] <godlygeek> I have a headache.
[10:54] <PriceChild> mariocesar_bo, #ubuntu-effects please
[10:55] <BrendanW> When you download a package and run it to install software, does that package save itself onto your system during the install?
[10:56] <BrendanW> As in, does the actual .deb file move somewhere on your system?
[10:56] <PriceChild> godlygeek, please keep ontopic and avoid excessive /me :)
[10:56] <godlygeek> BrendanW: They might be in /var/cache/apt
[10:56] <godlygeek> PriceChild: Apologies.  :)
[10:56] <BrendanW> godlygeek: Thanks. I'm only wondering because I was trying to decide whether to keep an inventory folder of all my pkgs.

[10:57] <godlygeek> BrendanW: why would you want to do that?
[10:57] <snooo> hey im having probs in xubuntu, dunno if you guys could help - trying to set the volume on the microphone for my USB phone, but whenever i put the volume up it goes back to zero. it used to work, and the speaker works fine
[10:57] <snooo> any ideas what could be affecting it?
[10:58] <BrendanW> godlygeek: I don't know. I have a tendancy to save installers on Windows, and was wondering if I should on Ubuntu.

[10:58] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[10:58] <godlygeek> BrendanW: I see no reason.  the repositories aren't going anywhere, if you need to install... and the uninstall info isn't stored with the .deb
[10:59] <newpers> i'm looking for the most recent package of yaws (which i believe is in gusty).  i'm using feisty, so what's the best way to get & install this package
[10:59] <BrendanW> godlygeek: Thanks for the advice. I won't be doing that now.
[10:59] <sauvin> The repositories aren't going anywhere, probably, and mirrors abound, but what's to say Internet is always going to be there? A thunderstorm took it out completely for nearly twelve hours a few days ago.
[10:59] <PriceChild> sauvin, the entire internet?
[10:59] <newpers> i tried just modifying my sources list, replacing feisty to gusty (only temp.).  the problem is that it says the pcakge does not exist
[10:59] <newpers> although i see it listed

[11:00] <sauvin> PriceChild, effectively so if nobody in town could reach it :D
[11:00] <BlueXero> How do you change the default program that a file type opens up with?
[11:00] <godlygeek> sauvin: sounds like more of a job for aptoncd than for downloaded .debs...
[11:00] <newpers> thanks

[11:02] <BlueXero> thanks
[11:02] <ben_> I've got several tasks I want done with one launcher. Delete this file, modify this one... Am I best off writing a little text script and then making a launcher run that script?

[11:04] <mannytu> bruenig, Hello
[11:05] <Ashfire908> is there a command to free up ram?
[11:06] <cipher> hello, I am having a problem with mono
[11:06] <Sayers> How can I have firestarter start up without requiring a password?
[11:06] <cipher> it is saying that gtk-sharp is not installed
[11:06] <cipher> when gacutil -l |grep gtk
[11:06] <cipher> shows 1.0 and 2.10 installed
[11:07] <wailer> I have a small script to use an icon in the panel to open dvd tray.. anyone interested?
[11:07] <rexy> Ashfire908: no, but you dont need too, memory managment in linux is pretty good. It is a good thing if all your memory is being used, and if you look closely you see a lot of it is used for buffering to speed things up
[11:07] <Ashfire908> rexy does program or cache get move to swap first
[11:07] <bruenig> wailer, eject
[11:08] <bruenig> wailer, is that what the script says
[11:08] <wailer> after bin sh
[11:08] <caglarrr> selamm
[11:08] <bruenig> clever
[11:08] <wailer> eject -t to close
[11:09] <bruenig> wailer, the script does both?
[11:09] <wailer> one for each
[11:09] <rexy> Ashfire908: your swap will only contained unused program code, cache is a buffer, that doesnt get swapped, if more ram is needed buffer space is freed and reallocate for program memory
[11:09] <bruenig> wailer, you could probably write something to have it do both, I wrote a script that will toggle mute on and off, you could probably use the same principle
[11:10] <cipher> no one has a solution to the issue I am having, is anyone else having trouble with mono
[11:11] <wailer> bruenig: I use one icon on a launchbar for each - how would I combine that to one script??
[11:11] <bruenig> stupid connection
[11:11] <rockets> how can i identify a drive in the sense of (hd0,1)
[11:11] <cipher> hd0 is that channel
[11:12] <rockets> right
[11:12] <bruenig> wailer, basically have the script write and read a configuration file each time
[11:12] <cipher> ,1 is the partition on that drive
[11:12] <rockets> cipher, but in this case its a dmraid device
[11:12] <rockets> cipher, its fakeraid
[11:12] <cipher> oh
[11:12] <cipher> ic
[11:12] <bruenig> wailer, so basically what you would do is when the script opened the tray, it would write "opened" into a file, and the next time you ran it, it would read the file, realize it was opened, and then close it and then write "closed" in the script and so forth and so on
[11:12] <cipher> sorry, I have not done fakeraid
[11:12] <pheorehs> hi
[11:13] <naki35366> hi all!
[11:13] <wailer> bruenig: that's more than I know about - trying to get newbies a step more into possibilities..
[11:13] <cipher> is anyone having trouble with mono?
[11:13] <naki35366> please anyone can help me to resolve my glx module problem ?
[11:13] <cipher> what's wrong
[11:13] <MrCollins> are there any ubuntu specific packages of limewire u guys know of?
[11:13] <naki35366> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[11:14] <bruenig> wailer, the mute one works like that pretty much but a tad bit more complex, because I have to get it to save the sound level before it mutes and then restore that sound level when it unmutes, so it isn't as easy as writing "mute" and "unmute"
[11:14] <naki35366> this is my glxinfo
[11:14] <GIn> hi
[11:14] <naki35366> so I can't use the 3d acceleration
[11:14] <cipher> ok
[11:14] <GIn> how do you format a ntfs partition to an ext3 on Ubuntu? any gui app for this?
[11:14] <wailer> bruenig: more detail - write to has me thinking I need to learn more
[11:14] <cipher> did you edit your xorg.conf file ?
[11:14] <naki35366> yes
[11:14] <bruenig> wailer, here I will write an eject thing to do that because I am bored
[11:15] <bruenig> !pastebin

[11:17] <mannytu> hende07: K9copy
[11:17] <ben_> hende07: doesn't one come with it? Under places
[11:17] <cipher> I think that the 915 has different drivers

[11:19] <ubotu> You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava
[11:19] <wailer> bruenig: if you paste it let me know where
[11:19] <phyrewall> I'm using emerald right now, since I was using Beryl... but in synaptic, compiz-gtk is marked as "ubuntu supported"
[11:20] <user01> is there a good source for finding high speed internet? i cant seem to find any service providers
[11:20] <hende07> so does anyone know how to burn a iso with ubuntu
[11:20] <BrendanW> Sorry for the large amount of questions I have been asking, it's just Ubuntu is a bit overwhelming at first, and the little things that have happened have been bothering me.
[11:20] <crdlb> phyrewall, compiz-gtk has been deprecated (it was merged into compiz-gnome)
[11:20] <crdlb> so don't try installing that package
[11:21] <bruenig> wailer, ok, I didn't actually test this, but I am pretty sure it works, if not, it is a typo or something, it is fundamentally good: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35049/
[11:21] <user01> i guess i have to go sattelite
[11:21] <soulrider> BrendanW, people are here to help, ask as much as you want
[11:21] <BrendanW> Now I am having issues with certain icons not showing up in the Applications menu, and since the fresh install I can't get the cube transition when switching workspaces to work.
[11:21] <soulrider> BrendanW, did you change the icon theme maybe ?
[11:21] <naki35366> please anyone know how to activate the mesa 3d ?
[11:21] <phyrewall> ok, then I must mean compiz-gnome, but same question applies, is it better than emerald?
[11:21] <soulrider> BrendanW, also, what you probably want is compiz
[11:22] <crdlb> naki35366, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[11:22] <maelcum> hende07: k3b is the best, but it's a kde program so probably not installed on your machine (yet) if you don't have kubuntu
[11:22] <naki35366> ok thanks crdlb!
[11:22] <hende07> i got it
[11:22] <asy> what user and password/GDM display thanks install ?
[11:23] <maelcum> hende07: there is a "burn iso" entry in the "extra" or similar (don't remember) menu
[11:23] <wailer> bruenig: didn't try it but saved to learn.. - four lines in two progs seems simpler...

[11:24] <michael> hi room.
[11:24] <naki35366> thanks!
[11:24] <bruenig> wailer, use that one, it needs to read the configuration file everytime, the one I gave before won't read it the first time you run it
[11:24] <asy> what user and password ?
[11:25] <maelcum> has anybody got a very simple way to install ubuntu from usb stick? note that i'm not a newbie but just lazy :)
[11:25] <bruenig> wailer, you need to learn how the brackets work and tests like that to do any bash stuff really
[11:25] <BrendanW> soulrider: Yes, I do want compiz. How would I go about getting it.
[11:25] <Lappy> does hibernate not work if you have compiz-fusion on?
[11:25] <michael> can anyone tell me what modem that i might find at wal-mart work out of the box with ubuntu?

[11:27] <bruenig> michael, *
[11:27] <naki35366> ok crdlb i try just now!
[11:28] <michael> why are they called win-modems when windows dont provide the driver?
[11:28] <wailer> bruenig: excuse my ignorance - but now , with 2 progs , 2 lines each , aren' t I taking the simplist route to get the job done -
[11:28] <obi> hello
[11:28] <josephine> whats weird is the kernal reacts to it but will not recognise it as a functioning device

[11:28] <maelcum> *they
[11:28] <wailer> breunig: I've just started learning basic
[11:28] <bruenig> wailer, well simpler in terms of programming perhaps, but from an end user's standpoint, it is easier to just click on button that toggles than one to eject and one to put back
[11:28] <naki35366> ok just a moment please
[11:29] <obi> how can i put grub to boot the ubuntu .iso ?
[11:29] <maelcum> losemodems would be a cool term for that kind of hardware
[11:29] <nathan__> in beryl, how can I make my application menu transparent?
[11:29] <nathan__> i tried type=menu but that's not it
[11:29] <josephine> michael,  whats weird is the kernal reacts to it but will not recognise it as a functioning device
[11:30] <wailer> bruenig:I agree on that. The press that I read lives of the term " bloatware "

[11:32] <naki35366> thanks
[11:33] <nathan__> does anyone know how to make the menus transparent using beryl? I tried type=menu but it's something else, and 'grab' doesn't work since it closes itself...
[11:33] <maelcum> stefg: uhm, thanks. that was actually helpful. wonder why google didn't find that :/
[11:33] <michael> did he just thank a bot?

[11:38] <wailer> breunig  : is that something that I have to learn about bash??
[11:38] <michael> bash is something you want to learn
[11:38] <wailer> i type slow still
[11:38] <crdlb> chickenF, only if you use compiz fusion
[11:38] <bruenig> wailer, blank lines are optional, most people use them because it makes it easier to read
[11:38] <michael> you can do just about anythiong with it alone with python
[11:38] <bruenig> wailer, like putting spaces between words
[11:39] <chickenF> crdlb, what is compiz "fusion"?
[11:39] <wailer> bruenig:I get it - and the comments help as well thanks

[11:41] <bruenig> wailer, there is a button on your computer to do that

[11:43] <wailer> bruenig:hehe - I hit my icon then reach down & the tray is open - why I made it in the first place
[11:44] <blixey> hi
[11:44] <Kossilar> Hello
[11:44] <bruenig> wailer, if you are going to be down there, then just press the button on the computer itself
[11:44] <michael> josephine: talk in pm so i can see your messages
[11:44] <freepenguin> www.freepenguin.it/index-en.html
[11:44] <blixey> I'm installing Ubuntu for the first time

[11:44] <blixey> an error appeared saying X server couldn't load or something
[11:44] <kane77> hi, how can I make screenlets come up at startup??
[11:44] <blixey> I have quite a new graphics card
[11:44] <wailer> bruenig: that ten or sio seconds are important to me!!
[11:45] <wailer> *so
[11:45] <blixey> Nvidia G8400 M
[11:45] <bruenig> wailer, ten seconds?
[11:45] <bruenig> wailer, less than 1 second from my experience
[11:45] <ozzloy> people can see what i'm typing, right?  someone say my name to confirm please
[11:45] <blixey> confirm
[11:45] <kane77> ozzloy,
[11:45] <ozzloy> cool thanks
[11:45] <bruenig> and I imagine the mouse manuevering to get to the panel takes just as much time
[11:46] <wailer> bruenig on average - yeh - can be more waiting for it to spin down
[11:46] <Lappy> sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Aug 26 00:35:11 2007 <-- wth?
[11:46] <Kossilar> blixey you might need to grab the proprietary drivers
[11:46] <crdlb> chickenF, that is normal
[11:46] <blixey> ah right..
[11:46] <blixey> are there drivers on the site possibly?
[11:46] <crdlb> chickenF, what exactly do you mean by parameters?
[11:47] <michael> josephine: try plugging your printer into another slot
[11:47] <chickenF> crdlb: things like speed of effects, fps etc..
[11:47] <Kossilar> Blixey: nvidia.com I think should have them. There are linux specific drivers.
[11:47] <michael> and unplug you camra just incase
[11:47] <blixey> ah I see..
[11:47] <crdlb> chickenF, using compiz fusion will give you a more powerful settings manager
[11:47] <blixey> thanks Koss...I'll take a look at Nvidia's site
[11:47] <crdlb> if that's what you mean
[11:47] <whass> when i run startx i get "no devices detected". what causes this?
[11:47] <blixey> I'll be back soon.
[11:47] <wailer> bruenig: using eject has noticibly cut down the wait time on all 4 comps - it's brutal :)
[11:47] <Kossilar> Cool. Good luck.
[11:47] <blixey> thanks Koss.
[11:48] <bruenig> wailer, well you need to use to toggle script, then you can really show off
[11:48] <chickenF> crdlb, thanks for the howto, but I do not think I want to add an unsupported package repository
[11:49] <crdlb> chickenF, then you can use it in october :)
[11:49] <chickenF> crdlb, ;) with the fix for java swing and all opengl application bugs ;) ?
[11:50] <wailer> bruenig: thanks for showing me some more of the basics - much appreciated!
[11:50] <obi> bye
[11:50] <michael> does anyone know the code name of the ubuntu comming out in oct?
[11:50] <LaCtoSE> 7.10 ?
[11:50] <WhiteRaven> Hey, guys, I need some help getting an Ubuntu/XP dual boot up.
[11:51] <PriceChild> michael, gutsy gibbon
[11:51] <WhiteRaven> Anyone willing to give me a hand?
[11:51] <michael> k thanks
[11:51] <PriceChild> WhiteRaven, what are you having a problem with?
[11:51] <flow__> I'm not so pro
[11:52] <WhiteRaven> Alright, I have kind of a wierd setup.
[11:52] <WhiteRaven> I have an XP machine and an extra hard disc.
[11:52] <dcordes> Hello. What is a good program in Ubuntu to capture webcam video with?
[11:52] <WhiteRaven> Can I slave the extra drive to the XP machine and tell Ubuntu to install to that?
[11:52] <Kossilar> Yeah, you should be able to.
[11:53] <PriceChild> dcordes, i assume ffmpeg or mencoder/mplayer would do it
[11:53] <WhiteRaven> Is it as simple as sticking the second HDD in as slave, popping in the Ubuntu disc and saying "Install to Slave?"
[11:53] <LaCtoSE> yes WhiteRaven
[11:53] <dcordes> PriceChild: I need to see what I'm recording.
[11:53] <blix2008> hi Koss
[11:53] <maelcum> WhiteRaven: i'm afraid that this won't work so easily...
[11:53] <Kossilar> White Raven: I'm pretty sure that the Ubuntu installation process will deal with your drives and set up a boot manager for you so you can select your OS at boot.
[11:53] <Kossilar> Hello. Blixey I presume?
[11:53] <WhiteRaven> So, I should just insert the HDD and the ubuntu disc and it'll let me choose the HDD, then?
[11:53] <PriceChild> WhiteRaven, yeah it's pretty self explanatory... with the install process, you acn choose "manual", or you could just say "use the whole of this drive and do what the hell you want"
[11:54] <maelcum> WhiteRaven: because the bootloader will be set up to load from a certain disk (master/slave) and this will change.
[11:54] <blix2008> yeah...it's blixey...just before I continue..how do I deal with being able to log back in with the same user name?
[11:54] <WhiteRaven> Hmm.
[11:54] <Kossilar> Blix: What do you mean?
[11:54] <WhiteRaven> Will it work or not?
[11:54] <PriceChild> WhiteRaven, you'll want to install grub to the mbr of the disc you boot from though
[11:54] <PriceChild> WhiteRaven, of course it will
[11:54] <blix2008> well I closed the MIRC client before
[11:54] <blix2008> and then I tried returning
[11:54] <GIn> $ umount /media/sdb1
[11:54] <GIn> umount: /media/sdb1 mount disagrees with the fstab
[11:54] <GIn> what does that mean?
[11:55] <blix2008> and it said my user name was already in use
[11:55] <WhiteRaven> Pardon me, I just took the plunge to Linux today and I'm not really sure what any of that mean.s
[11:55] <adamorjames> ok
[11:55] <michael> is there a spades game for ubuntu? i miss spades
[11:55] <adamorjames> question
[11:55] <Kossilar> Maybe you didn't log out properly.
[11:55] <blix2008> yeah I did log out ungracefully
[11:55] <adamorjames> How do I run the default bt client through the terminal?
[11:55] <Kossilar> I'm not sure. I'm pretty new to IRC actually.
[11:55] <PriceChild> michael, applications > games > blackjack
[11:55] <blix2008> that's cool..I'll figure that out after
[11:55] <maelcum> WhiteRaven: if you don't know linux well already i'd recommend to setup the target disk as master or find another way to install if that is too much work.
[11:55] <blix2008> Well back to my issue
[11:55] <adamorjames> Just get it started through the terminal
[11:55] <michael> but thats blackjack not spades??
[11:55] <PriceChild> michael, wait not that oen
[11:55] <blix2008> I was wondering what I should be downloading
[11:56] <PriceChild> michael, aisleriot solitairs
[11:56] <WhiteRaven> So, it'll be easier if I change my XP drive to the slave and make the Linux drive the Master?
[11:56] <blix2008> there appears to be only one credible download
[11:56] <josephinenerdgir> michael: are you getting my pm?
[11:56] <PriceChild> michael, when that's launched you can choose what kind frmo "select game"
[11:56] <blix2008> Linux IA32
[11:56] <Kossilar> Tell me your system specs and I'll grab a link for you.
[11:56] <adamorjames> *How do I get the default bt client started through the terminal?
[11:56] <Kossilar> What's your card again?
[11:56] <michael> josephinenerdgir: did you unplg your camra?
[11:56] <blix2008> I've got a Vaio FZ18L
[11:57] <Kossilar> What video card are you using again?
[11:57] <blix2008> Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT
[11:57] <wren_> I'm having the most frustrating time configuring my wireless. It's the only network for this computer, and I can configure it manually using ifconfig and iwconfig. However, sometimes it fails and I have to reenter my password to restart it, I can't get it to connect on startup, and gnome doesn't seem to recognize it properly. All I want is for this computer to connect to the wireless silently without my help at boot and if it ever g

[11:57] <maelcum> WhiteRaven: erm... oh, somehow i thought the second disk should go into another machine afterwards. forget what i said and just do what you were told be the other guy(s). sorry.
[11:57] <Kossilar> are you using 64 or 32 bit ubuntu?
[11:57] <bgel> http://digg.com/television/7_Life_Lessons_Learnt_from_Battlestar_Galactica
[11:57] <blix2008> 32bit
[11:57] <michael> PriceChild: i dont see spades anywhere?
[11:57] <Kossilar> http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.11/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run
[11:58] <PriceChild> michael, probably under a different name... "looks"
[11:58] <WhiteRaven> I did install linux on the new HDD while it was in the old PC to try it out.  Will that be an issue if I'm just going to reinstall linux over top?
[11:58] <Kossilar> Are you in Ubuntu right now?
[11:58] <hende07> does anyone know of a fast torrent client that is compatible with linux... azareus is slow
[11:58] <michael> PriceChild: thanks, let me know if you find it, id loe to play.
[11:58] <josephinenerdgir> michael: yes i did
[11:58] <blix2008> Im in Vista right now
[11:58] <Kossilar> But you have an ubuntu installation on your computer right?
[11:59] <bluefox83> does anyone know how to upload themes to the gnome website?
[11:59] <PriceChild> michael, I "think" its a variation of "spider"?
[11:59] <blix2008> no..I'm trying to install a version
[11:59] <maelcum> WhiteRaven: certainly not if you choose "use whole drive" in the installer. that will flatten the drive first and ask questions afterwards :)
[11:59] <michael> josephinenerdgir: and lsusb still shows your camra?
[11:59] <blix2008> the problem is I can't because of the graphics
[11:59] <Kossilar> Okay, does the LIVE CD work?
[11:59] <PriceChild> michael, select that, then choose one suit?
[11:59] <blix2008> yeah it does work...I just downloaded the image and burned it
[11:59] <josephinenerdgir> michael: yea
[11:59] <WhiteRaven> Do I still have to change the Ubuntu drive to master and make XP the slave, though?
[11:59] <PriceChild> michael, well, spider 3 suits
[11:59] <kekk> hende07, Deluge perhaps
[11:59] <Kossilar> So when you boot from the CD, what happens? Do you get a usable desktop?
[12:00] <michael> PriceChild: k, thanks. ill try it but i dont thank thats it.
[12:00] <michael> josephinenerdgir: hmmm...
[12:00] <PriceChild> michael, sorry if it isn't :) But maybe it'll distract you a little :)
[12:00] <maelcum> WhiteRaven: probably not, just try it out. the worst thing that can happen is that no os boots at all i guess, which can easily be fixed with fdisk /mbr from the windows install cd.
[12:00] <WhiteRaven> Yeah.
[12:01] <WhiteRaven> Just to be safe, though, I'll make XP the slave.
[12:01] <michael> PriceChild: its ok, at least you tried. i can find hearts which is sorta like it but not quit spades
[12:01] <WhiteRaven> It's going to ask me which disk to use, though, right, master or slave?
[12:01] <WhiteRaven> Which disk to install to, rather.
[12:01] <josephinenerdgir> michael: its so weird eh?
[12:01] <michael> josephinenerdgir: very, still thinking
[12:02] <blix2009> test
[12:02] <maelcum> WhiteRaven: i'd go with the windows drive as master. no os likes its main g
[12:02] <blix2009> what just happened/
[12:02] <nathan__> how do I make the menu black?
[12:02] <maelcum> drive getting changed
[12:02] <Kossilar> I'm not sure man.
[12:02] <WhiteRaven> Alright, I will.
[12:02] <WhiteRaven> Thanks for the help, guys, I really appreciate it.
